The language, customs
and the traditions of the
land, to which they came,
was unimportant. The most
important thing was to find
a job and start working
and saving.
After all, they were going
to stay here only long enough
to get rid of their debts and
save a little on the side. When
this goal was reached, back
they went to their loved ones.
Thousands of them travelled
back and forth, always with
the same purpose in mind.
Helped Build America
In their time, the ore and
coal had to be dug from the
earth and buildings, factories,
steel mills and railroads had
to be built.
The work had to be done
with hammer, chisel, pick and
shovel, for there were no bull
dozers or automatic equip
ment to help. The only re-
quirement to qualify for a
position was strong and heal.
thy muscles.
Thus the pioneers, natives
and newcomers alike, built all
the beauties and wonders in
the land called the United
| States of America.
Struggling along, now and
then a newcomer would lose
} an arm, leg or even his life
Thus he was unable to worl,
and welfare was unknown.
If he was buried alive
somewhere deep in the
mine, killed on the railroad,
or burned to death i'm someI
, steel mill, he had only one
{ life to lose.
1t was understood that his
, broken promise of returning
J would be excused by his lovee
ones. He did not break thai
5 promise Of his own volition
Y And when his loved ones
: heard this tragic news, wha'
). would happen?
Birth OF Great Society
Perhaps it would be a gooo
idea to organize some kind o:
a humanitarian organization
or fraternity, through which
they could help themselve!
y more effectively in the cas-

struggle in the "Old World"
as we'll as in the New
World
They did not come to the
New World for the sake OF
travelling and having a good
time" When they came here,
nobody knew the meaning of
that strange phrase good
time; the natives and new
comers were too busy to even
think about it. They all plo-
'neered, their minds set on
building the wonderful New
World in which we live today.
In the Old World our Pi-
oneers lived under the du-
alistic monarchy of AustrO-
Hungary, and their govern
ment was cruel and oppres-
sive. The vast majority OF
them were poor peasants,
Woodworking people. toll
ing from early dawn to late
at night.
If Mother Nature was kind
to them, they might have
enough food to carry them
over till the next crop; if
something went wrong (too
much rain, drought, etc.
conditions were poor. They
were then forced to borrow
money and buy their food and
other necessities Of life.
But whether they had a
good time, or bad, had nc
bearing upon the tax-collec'
tor. If the peasants could not
pay their tax, out went the
last COW, pig or sheep to be
sold at auction for taxes.
They Were Pious People
A maj of them lived III
small dwellings, consisting OF
one room and a kitchen.
Their huts were similar tc
those one may find along the
Me x ico-Arizona bord S
They built their own stoves
out of clay and used mostl.
wood to heat these huts dur
ing severely cold winter days
They were very pious
people and only severe sick
ness would prevent them
from attending church SER
vices.
They prayed that the Al
mighty would have mere,
upon them and help them &c
along. They also taught thei
children to follow in thel
footsteps.
In addition to fearing Coo
they were taught to fear tn
authority. To them the police
village or town clerk, treasu
,rer, mayor, teacher, an
priest were that authorit
which was to be feared an
respected.
When meeting one of ther
somewhere they considered
their duty to take their ha
off and greet him.
Many Came Here Alone
Falling into debt was nc
uncommon. To get rid Of DEB
they were forced to leav
their home, family and thei
country and migrate to som

They learned about tn
possibility of earning none

came here just for that pun
pose. 1t was very difficult fo
them to leave their famil,
home and country, even o

Before they left, they mad
a solemn promise that the
would return. They couldn
forget that promise, for the

cheeks of their wives, chi

At this conference we will

Doesn't Cost One Cent
In these four counties there
are 80 C.F.U. lodges, and a.
mong them some fairly big
lodges who should belong to
our United Lodges.
Some members have the
mis-interpretation t h a t it
costs our lodges a large sum
of money to belong to this
United Lodges.
The truth is, it doesn't
cost our lodges q cent; all
! it takes is a little interest
on the part of the delegates
who are elected to repre-
sent each lodge and once
or twice a year a little help
is needed at the affairs
sponsored by the United
Lodges.
Our radio program is fl

donations which we receive
from our radio audience.
If any lodge in these four
counties wishes and feels 1t
