However, the new railroad
station there intrigued the

is a work of art with it's

Later in the day the group
journeyed to Vrelo Bosnia for
refreshments with the COM
pliments of the local members
of the "Matica" organization
in the area.
Located about Is kilome-
ters from Sarajevo, Vrelo Bo-
sna provides the sources of
the Bosnia River. This river
receives it's waters from a
number Of springs at the foot
of the mountain Lyman.
This entire area has been
made into a beautiful park,
with a modern Cafe-Res-
taurant located directly Ov-
er the waters. 1t was here
that the visitors from Ame-
rica and Canada were
wined and dined by their
very gracious "Matica'
hosts.
Still later the visitors were
taken to the Baths of Ilidza

Ilidza Is the seat Of the

lary, 1857 assessment lists
IN even 200 members you are
in line for $1O0.
And, of course, If you've
kept your membership up or
increased it you shall also
share in the Membership Con-
servation Award.
Keep in mind that the Con-
servation Award is based on
m e m b e r s h ip standing as
shown by the January 1856
count and the year-end figure
which is then shown on your
January, 1857 assessment
sheet.
Huge Fraternal Melon
Our nest managers too will,
naturally, be in line for the
new Recognition Award. The
department will allot ten
cents for every Term MEM
ber and twenty five cents for
every Endowment or 20 Pay
certificate.
Thus every manager,
even if he fails to qualify
for the old Membership
Conservation Award, will
be assured of at least this
token recognition for his
services. That "token" re-
cognition for his services
in itself however will come
pretty well to the $4,000
figure.
Your Croatian Fraternal
Union will therefore be divid-
ing up a juicy melon of some
$55, 100000 to it's nest mana
gers and lodge secretaries in
addition to an even larger
figure for proposer rewards.
Campaigners Never Quit
Our statistics, to this point
in the year, are most crafty
ing.
1t is common knowledge
that the 1856 "Visit Yugo.
slavia" Campaign was most
successful and resulted in the
writing of 5000 new members
The most heartening fact
however is the observation
that even after the end Of the
formal campaign our recruit
ers in the field have not lei
up. We have more than kept
abreast of the normal losses
and these in a large organiza
ton such as the CFU, art
considerable.
If then we can show such
devotion to the organiza-
ton during normal and rou-
tine periods we are justi-
fled in believing that the
year-end recruiting activi-
ty shall indeed be even
more pronounced. These
generous and most attrac-
tive multiple ward s
should constitute a strong
flip to a concerted men,
bership search.
We will again be able tt
show the world that our CFJ
is the greatest organization O
it's kind in the world. It is tn,
strongest and largest; and i
is the most generous.
1t is truly-a House O

had at the beginning. !
Now for some purse appeal
ing statistics to show you
that your CFU shall certain
ly make it worthwhile for
your every effort in bringing
in that new member. Last
years Membership Conserva-
ton and Bonus Award in the
Junior Order totaled 5000
when the net membership in
crease for the entire year was
618. In the first 9 months of
this year we have already reg
istered a gain of over 1900.
We can therefore generally
expect an increase in the Con-
servation Award.
This generalization, how
ever, will be small balm to
that manager or secretary
who was short 5 members,
yes, even 1. Remember that
we here at headquarters will
be happy to pay those who
qualify-the bigger the total
the better we like it.
But, no matter how much
we want to make everyone
happy, no matter how
much we want to make
friends and influence peo-
ple", there can be no le-
niency.
If you've failed to maintain
your beginning-of-t f-the-year
membership count even by
one you've lost the Conserva.
ton Award. You've got, now
three more weeks to replace
the losses. If you need but one
why not get five just to make
sure, for in this short perioc
remaining you might sustain
more losses.
Re: Recognition Award
In addition to the Conser
vation Award there are two
