Supreme Board Will Act
Among the national organ
izations supporting the AMI
project is the Croatian Fra
ternal Union of America, with
Home Offices at Pittsburgh,
Pa.
Whereas this support has
been of a moral nature dur
ing the past several months,
it is expected that the Croa-
tan Fraternal Unions Su-
preme Board will render a
favorable decision regarding
future material support dur
ing the semi-annual meetings
of the Board in March, 1856.
Organized by immigrants
in 1894, the CrOatian Fra
ternal Union has in 62
years become the largest
organization of it's kind in
the world and is one of the
rs largest and most power
full fraternals on the North
American Continent.
It has some 1915 adult
and juvenile members in the
United States and Canada
and is the largest chartered
fraternal in the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.

Mr.. Kerhin stated that the
committees aim is to outdo
all the other nationality
groups participating in the
jubilee celebration by staging
a program of which every
Croatian in Gary will be
proud.
To do this, he said, the
committee will need the help
of every Croatian organiza-

Mr.. Kerhin would like for
those persons who are inter-
ested in taking part in the
program to contact either the
vice-chairman, Thomas R.
Fadell, or Sylvia Niksic, the
recording secretary.

ternal Union were made the same offer,
$4,000 by plane or $4,000 via boat, if they
desired to accompany the Grand Prize
Award Winners to Yugoslavia.
The asking price when the Cam
paign began January last seemed more
than reasonable, more than fair in view
of the high cost of everything these days.
But the Campaign Committee at the
Home Office still felt it could be bettered
- lowered and proceeded in recent
weeks to talk shop with travel agencies
willing to be more $$$ reasonable.
The Committee was right.
Now, the Croatian Fraternal Union is
officially able to make a new offer in this
respect, one that no other organization Of
it's kind in America can match.
The Societys Campaign Grand Prize
Award Winners now need no more than
600 Points to qualify for a 2O-day all
expense paid visit in YugOslavia, the for
mer homeland of many of our members.
And they may choose between two ira
vel mediums out of New York either by
Ell AL Israel Airlines Constellation Service
or the Cunard Lines Queen Elizabeth"
The 900 Points cover either medium both
popular with overseas tourists.
Non-campaigning members may make
the same trip for the same price, 100000,
provided they sign at least 81 100000 in new
or increased adult or juvenile business dur
ing this Membership Campaign.
Which Is merely putting the welfare Of
the Society above everything else.
X X X
The last time the Croatian Fraternal
Union conducted Membership Campaign
calling for visit to Yugoslavia was back
in 1916 a matter of one decade ago.
But what difference between the two
drives, particularly in the Points.
The Grand Prize Award Winners Of
ten years ago had to amass no less than
1900 Points to qualify for trip to Yu-
gOslavia, twice the number of Points
governing this years Campaign.
Truly amazing, to be sure. But the Gro
attain Fraternal Union is an amazing or
ganization and can now offer it's members
more than any other similar group on earth
It's 1856 Membership Campaign is merely
proof positive of as much.
Your Society is no follower in it's field

continued Mr.. du Pont.
Pride In Our Ancestry
"This has never been done
before, and there certainly is
no better place to tell this sto-
ry than at the foot of the
Statue of Liberty.
wv erever we came
from and whenever we
came, we have pride in our
ancestry as basis for our
allegiance to America.
"By all of us joining to-
gether in making this Mu-

an Operation Unity which can
have tremendous significance
to us all at home and to

Besides MIR. du Pont, the

The vice presidents are

The Museum is to be eStab-'
lished as a free will tribute
of the American people to the
role of immigration in the
building of our Nation.
To this end a national
appeal for $5,OOO,OO0 will
be formally launched in
mid-April.
A feature of the campaign
will be the enlistment of in
dividuals who will give $40 or
more and who will be recog-
nized as Builders.
Builders Await HonOrs
Anticipating the campaign
for Builders are Irving Dill
lard, editor of the editorial
page, st. Louis Post Dis
patch; Mrs. Sherman L. o.
son, Swiss-born president of
the Ladies Auxiliary to the
Veterans of Foreign Wars;
and Gino Prato, of The
Bronx.
All Builders will receive
blue and gold certificates.
And each will have the
privilege of depositing his
or her photograph and sig
nature in the archives of
The Museum, where they
will be available for inspec-
ton by the Builders and
their descendants.
'In establishing this basis
for permanent Identification
with our greatest national
shrine, we fixed the lowest
amount for which it is prac-
tical to accord such recogni-
tion," said Pierre S. du Pont,
3rd, of Wilmington, Del, in
announcing the names of the
first three Builders. He is
chairman of the organiza-
tons Executive Committee.
Families Can Cooperate
"We expect that, in many
cases, families will club to-
gether to establish a Builder
ship in the name of the fam
lily head or as a memorial to
some other member of the
family" he continued.
"At the same time we
shall of course welcome
contributions in smaller
amounts, especially from
school children; and we are
encouraging more substan-
tial gifts which will be suit
ably recognized in the Hall
of Records which will be a
feature of The Museum.
