Buffalo Tourney

. EFORE us is a letter from bro. George
- Rok, Chairman, of the Buffalo, New
York, Lodge 557 Committee on Arrange
22nd Annual National Tenpin Tourney,
which will be held there May So next.
Although satisfied with our publicity
treatment already given the early Spring
classic, bro. Rok is of the opinion that
much more will have to be done to put
the undertaking across.
He is right. 1t will indeed take much
more and then some in the end.
For one thing, bro Rok and his fellow
Lodge 557 committee personnel must be
encouraged to keep their chins up in the
face of odds not of their own making
The membership of Lodge 557 should
realize that this Tournament Committee
has done remarkable job to date, that
cooperation on their own part as members
of the Lodge is as important to the Com
mittee as anything under the sun.
No matter what the CrOatian Frater-
nal Unions status quo in the State of
New York, the 22nd Annual National
Tournament in Buffalo next May must
be an unconditional success or else.
The Tournament and the Societys long
pending application for license to do busi-
ness in the State of New York have nothing
in common. They are separate subjects.
No one, to our knowledge, needs Ii
cense to bowl in the Empire State.
X X
Without the Zajednicar, the 22nd An
nual Tournament would be lost"
That we will not permit.
Neither will the CrOatian Section of
the Official Organ, as Editor bro Philip
Vukelich will come to prove in time.
But all the publicity in the zajednicar
will have gone for naught in the end unless
all members of Buffalo Lodge 557 and our
bowlers everywhere favor the Local Com
mittee with their full coopera ton.
Charity, they say, begins at home. So
does the Spirit of Cooperation.

A MERICANS everywhere last week hail

ton for it's decision to underwrite six-week
tour of the Symphony of The Air to South
eastern Europe, the Near East and pos
sibly India and Pakistan.
The group, one of the finest in the
United States, leaves February II.
In the meantime, the all-Negro Amer
lean Porgy and Bess company is now ap-
pearing in Warsaw, Poland, after making
a sensational full-house stand of some
length in Moscow, Russia.
Which makes us all the more proud of
the fact that we are an American.
While others overseas are enjoying
some of our outstanding cultural groups,
Americans at the moment are thrilling to
the famous Yugoslav National Ballet
Here for Is weeks, the Ballet will ap-
pear in the near future in Chicago, Feb
ruary 4-5; Pittsburgh, February IL; and
Cleveland, February 10Th.
This internationally acclaimed Yugoslav
troupe is here through the courtesy of the
United States Government. 1t is the first
such organization ever to appear on an
American stage.
Save for those suffering from political
jaundice, the great majority of our fellow
members join us in welcoming the Yugo-
sav National Ballet to the United States
and wishing it's forty artists deserving sue
cess in our Country.
The world needs much more of this ex-
change of great cultural groups.
And far less of harsh words.

friends will honor Adam Ma

What The P!

ONE Of the local dailies recently had
~ this among other things, to say about
Pennsylvania S Dutch people:
LAS the Pennsylvania Dutch became
Americans of unquestioned loyalty, so,
too, will the more recent immigrants
from eastern and southern Europe"
Why the future tense?
Speaking for our people in the Keystone
State, we can say, without fear, that Penn
sylvania's Americans of Croatian descent
are loyalty personified.
True, they may not have settled here as
carly as the Dutch" people.
But their history, which began. in
reality, with the organization in 1894
in Old Allegheny, Pa, of what is today
the Croatian Fraternal Union. speaks
volumes for their unquestiOned loyalty to
only one country - the United States.
That loyalty is matter of record, one
4o newspaper would dare mpugn

snipe at the Editors of the Official Organ
and keep our self-respect, especially when
the sniping is of deliberate nature.
And to us self-respect is important.
Without it we could not edit these pages in
good faith under any conditions.
Who are the Editors of the Croatian
Fraternal Unions Official Organ?
First under the Bylaws they must
be qualified for the posts they hold. 1t
takes far more than mere writing ability
to be an Editor of the Zajedncar, by far
more know how" than is required by
other newspaper staffs.
Next the Editors of the Zajednicar are
not appointees = not flunkies.
They are subject to election, or defeat,
by Delegates to the Society's National
Ouadrennial Conventions. They are, there
fore. officials of the Croatian Fraternal
Union whether you like them or not; whe-
ther you agree or disagree with them
whether you wish them well or evil.
Yet the Editors are not above any of
their fellow officials. Nor are they below
them by any standard of measurement.
Nor are the Editors of the Zajednicar
merely filters of columns"
They are planners, men who must show
concern for every facet of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, be it this or that Depart
ment at the Home Office, be it this or
that undertaking.
And they must be promoters, men
given to publicizing everything Of general
interest to the membership of the SOci-
ETY., be that Membership Campaign,
new Certificates, Singing or kolo Festi-
walls, Bowling or Basketball Tourna-
ments, and so on, ad infinitum.
They must be public relations men as
WELL men who must put the Croatlan Fra
ternal Union far above themselves and the
pettiness of the everyday world.
And they must be defenders of THE
CFU Faith without reservation.
Last but not least ..
The Editors must be intelligent enough
to keep all Minutes of the Supreme Board,
a task which most certainly cannot be de-
fined as being a part of an average news
paper mans duties.
Yet they are not compensated extra
for keeping Minutes, this in spite of the
fact that they must discharge their reg
uIar duties at the same time.
Nor do they seek compensation.
All they ask of others is respect, respect
for their abilities to sell the Croatian
Fraternal Union through its Official Organ,
the Zajednicar.
Or is that asking too much Of those
bst in personal self-importance?

, dating from 1920.
South of the island Kirk is ,
Rab, the best-known island
in Croatian Primorje, with
a historical town of the same
name known already in Ro-
man times. 1t can be reached
by boat from Rijeka in less
than 4 hours.
The town of Rab is a IA
nous seaside resort with big
modern hotels, b beautiful
parks, beaches, st. Euphemia
Bay and numerous historical :
and cultural monuments (the
18th century ducal palace;
the 18th century cathedral
with a 26 m high belfry, one
of the most beautiful ones on
the Adriatic; the Franciscan
Monastery of st. Euphemia
with a valuable library; etc..
BY it's lush Mediterrane-.

lands. 1t lies on the same
parallel as Marseilles and

Lovely excursions across
the island can be made (the

por with ancient Greek ruins,
etc.,, while facilities for all
kinds of sports are offered. .
Near Kampor stood the ILL
famed Italian concentration
camp during the second world

Pag Southernmost Isle
The southernmost island of
the Croatian Primorje is Pag,
which extends as far south
as the zadar region.
The town of Pag, dating
from the 18th Century, a.
bounds in antiquities (tlle
ducal palace, the Roman
esque Cathedral, ETC., etc..
The great salt works there
are famous.
Although Pag is not a
fashionable seaside resort,
time can be spent most en-
joyably there.
