CR0A TIA
Tourists Delight
BY Stephen f. Brkich

-
Campaign Committee Secretary
We will touch briefly here
this week on the matter of
money and those who will
find themselves with the
Croatian Fraternal Unions
Tour Party in Yugoslavia in
August of 1856.
The currency problem
was greatly eased last
year for tourists visiting
Yugoslavia by means of
new travellers checks
which the Yugoslav Ma
tional Bank put into circu-
lation after studying the
problem from numerous
angles.
Up until 1856 the Yugo-
slav National Bank had ira
velers checks for internal
circulation only, while for
travel abroad it once sold
checks Of foreign banks.
In Unlimited Amounts
Prior to last year the Yu-
goslav National Bank used
to collect all foreign checks
calling for American or
Canadian dollars, as well as
travellers checks originating
in countries maintaining a
clearing house arrangement
with Yugoslavia.
Now tourists in Yugo-
slavia no longer need to
carry effective currency
with them, but may buy
an unlimited amount in
travellers checks before
starting on their trip.
The travellers checks of
the Yugoslav National Bank
are sold abroad by all banks
which have made arrange
ments for the purpose with
the Yugoslav institution.
According to regulations
currently in force, these
travellers checks are being
sold at the official rate of
exchange between the Uni
ted States and Yugoslavia
- the parity being $1.00
USA for 800 Dinars.
Issued In Denominations
The foreign travellers
checks of the National Bank
of Yugoslavia are issued in
a number of denominations.
These are available in
denominations of 5000
Dinars (brown), 1000
Dinars eight green), and
500 Dinars (blue). The
usual inscriptions are
printed on them in the
English, French and Ger
man languages.
The method of endorse
ment of these travellers
checks is the same as in the
case of similar checks is
sued by other countries.
Finally, these new Yugo-
slav National Bank trave-
lers' checks are payable
within six months from the
date Of drawing and, as a
rule, are not transferable.

ing Dinner is a wonderful thing
AS college graduates return to their
schools for Homecoming games and to re-
new their faith IN alma mater, so our mem
bers in and around Kansas City will sit
down on Sunday, May 20 for homecoming
fete which will reacquaint them with the
greatness of their Society and reactivate
them in its future behalf.
We know, for fact, that our members
in Kansas City have cooperated more than
ever since the announcement of plans for
this "Fraternal Homecoming" Dinner and
are beginning to return to the "old home
stead the Croatian Fraternal Union.
Perhaps other inactive centers of the
Society would be wise to do likewise.

enumerate here only a
few of them.
Th e Tesla two-phase,
three-phase, m u i-phase,
poly-phase system of pow
er transmission; the Tesla
principle; the Tesla rotat-
ing magnetic field; and the
Tesla rotating magnetic
field transformer.
Then there is the Tesla
induction motor, the Tesla
split-phase motor, the Te-
sla system Of distribution,
the Tesla rotary transfor-
mer, the Tesla system of
transformation by con-
denser discharges, and the
Tesla coil.
Efforts Almost Endless
Continuing, there is the
Tesla oscillation transfor-
mer, the Tesla electrical
oscillator, the Tesla me-
chanical oscillator, and Te-
sla high frequency ma
chimes.
And the Tesla dynamo
electric oscillator, the Te-
5 sla tube, the Tesla lamp,
the Tesla high-potential
methods, the Tesla induc-
tor, the Tesla marvels, the
Tesla impendence pheno-
mena, the Tesla electro
therapy, the Tesla electri-
cal massage, the Tesla cur
rents, the Tesla transmits
sion, the Tesla expert
ments and the Tesla capa-
city.
Not to mention the
Tesla arc light system,
the Tesla third brush
regulation, the Tesla de-
vices, the Tesla sparks,
the Tesla arrangements,
the Tesla theory, the Te-
sla point, the Tesla
steam turbine, the Tesla
gas turbine and the Tes-
la water turbine.
Nor to forget the Tesla
pump, the Tesla compress
sor, the Tesla igniter, the
Tesla condensers, the Tes-
la electro-static field and
the Tesla effects. :.
Last Official Patent
Then there is the Tesla
wireless system, a great
thing in itself.
And the Tesla methods
of wireless transmission,
the Tesla magnifying tran
smitter, the Tesla Telau-
tomato, Tesla insulation,
Tesla underground trans
mission, etc., etc.
Tesla's last patent, is
sued by the United
States Patents Office, as
listed in the ''BibliOgra-
ply" compiled by MIR.

Society in January, 1854,

years prior to the passing
of this genius.

WE BEMOANED the fact recently tha

only" 81 adult teams submitted entries for
the twenty-second renewal this weekend Of
one of the greatest sports spectacles in the
fraternal realm.
In an editorial dated April 18 last, we
took to task the Societys minor Journeys
for cluttering up the Spring season picture
to such an alarming extent in recent years
as to detract from the necessary wide
spread interest in the Annual National
Tenpin Tournament and it's smaller broth
er" the Annual Duckpin Tournament.
We still feel these lesser events should
be regulated in the future and be kept from
encroaching on two now great annual I'M
dertakings which were many, many years
in the process of building the hard way
or when money was scarce.
Too many good things can beyond
question - spoil everything and lead but to
the ruination of something which took two
decades to build into greatness.

ted with the publishers in

With the consent and
cooperation Of MIR.

this work into the Gro
attain language and pub
lished it i'm "SlObOdna

occasion of DIR. Tesla's
10th birthday.
The translation proved
to be quite a task, but the

paid me for the hours
spent in the translating.
Tribute Paid In 1919
In his announcement in
electrical EXperimenter'
in January of 1919, which
introduced the publication
of my Inventions" Mr..
Gernsback said:
"Ninety percent of the
entire electrical industry
pays tribute to his (Te-
sla's) genius. All electri-
cal machinery using or
generating alt e rnating
current is due to Tesla.
High tension current
tr a n S m i S S i o II, without
which our long distance
trolley cars, our electrical
lines, our subways would
be impossible, is due to the
genius of Tesla. The Tesla
Induction Motor, the Tes-
la Rotary Converter, the
Tesla Phase System of
Power Transmission, the
Tesla Steam and Gas Tur-
bine and the Tesla Coil and
Oscillation ran S former
are perhaps his better
known inventions"
Greatest OF Them All
In that same issue of
1919 one will find the fol-
lowing tribute.
"Nikola Tesla, in the
opinion of authorities, to-
day is conceded to be the
greatest inventor of all
time.
Tesla has more ORR
ginal inventions to his
credit than any other
man in history. He is
considered greater than
Archimedes, Faraday, or
Edison.
His basic, as well as
revolutionary, discoveries
for sheer audacity have no
equal in the annals of the
world. His master mind is
easily one of the seven
wonders of the intellectual
world"
Why Is Name Missing:
To scientists, technology
clans, particularly in the
field Of electricity, electro
MICS, ETC., as well as to stu
dents, the great name of
DR.. Nikola Tesla is we'll
known and they are famil-
lar with his discoveries
and inventions.
But what puzzles the av-
erage person is: Why is it
that Tesla's name is not
seen anywhere on his in
ventions? For example,
why is it that his name is
not engraved on a little
brass or copper plate at
tached to a motor, such as
one may find the name of
Edison or Westinghouse,
or some other firm, in in
dustry?
This l cannot answer.

Croat Churches

enerally overlooked in the history of the
~ Croatian Fraternal Union is the part
its members have played in the erection of
Croatian Roman Catholic Churches in the
United States.
Perhaps this is overlooked because the
Society is not religious organization in
the true sense of the word, preferring as
it does to leave religion up to the individual
beliefs of its thousands of members in this
Country and Canada.
1t has, of course, been criticized for this
preference, but those who did so were ne
yer in agreement with the nature of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.

WHAT DOES the history of the Gro


the rise in ibis Nation of Croatian Roman
Catholic Churches and Schools?
For one thing, it shows that wherever
our people congregated in years gone by to
organize Lodge of what is today the Gro
atian Fraternal Union they invariably got
around to building Croatian Catholic
Church and School.
This is true in the case of such Penn
sylvania centers as Steelton, Johnstown,
Millvale, North Side Pittsburgh and Nc
Keesport. 1t is no less true in the case of
South Chicago, ILL.,. Kansas City, Kansas,
st. Louis, Mo, and Cleveland, Akron and
Youngstown, Ohio. Also Rankin, Pa.
In fact, North Side Pittsburgh's ST. Nj
cholas Croatian Roman Catholic Church
came into existence the very same year
which gave birth to our Society - 1894
The oldest such Croatian Church in the
United States, this Parish was the idea of
the very same pioneers who saw the neces-
sity siXty-two years ago of organizing
mutual benefit protection society, the one
you are member of today
