more liberal.
The awards have been in
creased from year to year
until today they amount to
a dollar for each point
gained.
When the Campaign Off
cially opened, we were anx-
iously watching for the first
report. Will the members en-
brace it? Will it stir enough
enthusiasm to warrant our
expectations?
So, we were gratified when
the first report appeared and
it begins to look more and
more encouraging.
But, unlike in previous
years, when the campaigns
lasted for nearly a year, the
Board deemed it advisable
this time to shorten the per-
iod to seven months, so as
not to keep it dragging, as
was customary in the past.
Time will tell whether this
was for the better or not.
Editors Rate Orchids
Some sections of the coun-
try, with a large C.F.U. men,
bership, are not responding
enough in this Campaign to
suit our Editors, who are
hammering on it for all they
are worth.
The columns of the Zajed-
nicar are full Of campaign
material every week and
nothing is left unturned that
may prove of value in this
effort.
1t is no joke trying to
fashion campaign articles
week after week, without
getting too repetitious; one
must look for something
new for every issue in or
der to keep up the interest
of the members.
We have the opportunity
to read official organs of ma
ny other fraternal organiza-
tions, but we must candidly
admit that none can measure
up with the Zajednicar when
it comes to conducting men,
bership campaigns.
Yes, in this respect it is no

doubt the tops.
Truly A Great Society

Judging from the interest
in this trip to Yugoslavia, and
the many questionnaires re-
ceived, the Grand Prize Win
ners will have plenty of COM
pany on the way to and from
the old country.
A steamship company has
offered a round-trip package
from New York to Zagreb,
for the nominal price of
100000, if enough members
will take this opportunity. AL
so a plane trip can be ar
ranged for the same price.
Thus, this promises to be
a lively year among our men,
bers.
The Annual Statement of
the C.F.U., showing the men,
bership and financial stand
ing at the end of 1866, has
just been mailed out to vari-
Gus states where we hold a
license.
Again it shows an increase
in membership as well as in
assets. We will again be in
position this year to give the
members a liberal dividend.
That, coupled with other
benefits, educational aid,
welfare and sports promo
tions, puts the C.F.U. a
mOng the foremost in the
fraternal field. Our cam
paigners should stress this
to prospective members, as
it is of great advertising
value.
This year we have adopted
an entirely new mortuary ia
BILE, and have done away with
the old American Experience
of Mortality table, which was
in use for over 80 years.
But let us say more about
this in one of the coming is
sues.

Under the able Craftsmanship
of bro. Martin Krasich, who
headed the Campaign Com
mittee, it was a lively affair
from the start to the finish.
World War III had just
ended six months before,
during which all our efforts
were centered around the
many activities that the
war demanded from us.
We went all out selling war
bonds and performing other
duties in order to contribute
our mite in the big struggle.
War Hampered Progress
Although we tried to add
to our membership during the
war, we were not able to con-
duct any campaigns in the
sense that we do in normal
times.
So when the first postwar
year approached, the Board
decided that the time had
come to initiate a real honest
to-goodness Campaign # o r
new members with more at
tractive prizes than were Of
fered up to that time.
The trip to Yugoslavia
was the crowning prize and
quite a few managed to
achieve it, even though
some did not take the trip
but took the cash instead.
In results, the 1916 Cam
paign has not since been sur
passed, although we have had
some very successful cam
paigns in the last ten years.
Cash Prizes At Height
Why am I bringing this out
from the past?
Because we are repeating
this year what we began a de-
cade ago - calling all men,
bers to climb on the wagon
and ride together towards the
goal = a trip to Yugoslavia.
This Campaign s h ou ! d
prove to be the daddy" of
them all, for not only is the
Grand Prize more easily
than it was in 1916,
when considerably m ore
members had to be enrolled
than in the present Campaign
but other cash prizes are also

"A Program of Action

The difficulties / have just de-
scribed are, happily, only one side
Of this picture. There are also
opportunities. And although
some Of the problems are difficuIt,
on others we can do much.
think the vast majority of Amer
leans want progression our
selves. for we will all be old some
day, and for those who gave us
the supreme gift Of birth.
We have already made some
Roadway. But there is much
more to be done.
Let me repeat that it seems to
me essential that we set our
goals high. that we measure
them not by what we have to do
as a minimum. not by what we
think may salve our consciences,
but by what we want to do, by
what we know is right.
| /. First. as I have already
suggested, I propose that we as
lsert it boldly, as a basic article
of belief. that in this age Of
abundance in this land Of plenty,
la person should be enabled to
maintain, when life's regular
duties are completed, his or her
accustomed standard Of living.
We long ago accepted this
principle so far as the week is
concerned. We earn seven days
living in five. We have more
recently established tin terms

holidays"-so far as the year is
concerned. Putting a lifetime's

on some Of these proposals. -Four
years as Governor Of Illinois
made me acutely aware Of the
expenses Of any public program,
for it always affects SO many
people.
One reason the present adj
ministration in Washington likes
conferences and study groups
is that they don't cost anything
to speak Of.
But ! am completely con-
WINGED that an adequate pro-
gram for older people will be,
in the fullest sense of the term,
sound economy. The costs Of
present programs for older per-
sons-mental hospitals, old-age
assistance programs and all the
others-are tremendous; and
they will continue to rise unless
we make greater progress in
providing employment to those
older people who are able to
work and who want to work and
unless we can reduce the costs
Of medical and institutional
care by improving the health of
older persons.
Programs which enable our
older citizens to stay in good
health and which keep them

faction in productive effort are,
in a real sense, financially self

But there is more than econ

GouIs for Our
Older Citizens

Our parents and grandparents
deserve more than the privilege
Of eking out their last years ir
anxiety and privation. They de-
serve the comfort and gratitude
which our abundant society is
at last in a position to render
them. ! believe that the new
Americas program for our older
citizens must accept these three
detectives:
l. To enable a person to main
tain his accustomed standard of
living after the days Of his regu-
lar employment have ended.
2. To make available the IA
cilities and services which are
required to meet the special
needs of older people.
3. To give purpose and sig
nificance to the evening OF
peoples lives.
And now. let's look more close
ly at the facts which underlie
these detectives. and at the ways
by which we can move toward
our goals:

work opportunities for older
people the problem must be
faced squarely as one Of en-
largement Of the Nations work
force. We would only compound
the problem If we were to force
the older people into compete
ton for jobs with the younger
folk who are now bearing the
costs Of starting their homes
and raising their children.
Lower Retirement Age
The other factor is reflected
in the action taken at the last
session Of Congress to reduce the
age at which women are eligible
for retirement benefits from SIS
to So. That people are able now
to work longer. in terms Of years,
than they used to be is one side
Of the matter. The other is that
an advancing technology may
eventually mean that the Ma
tons work can be done in fewer
years Of each persons life.
These considerations in no
sense detract from the desirable
ity, indeed the necessity, Of max
ing fuller provision than we now
do for earnings, or at least in
come, opportunities for older
people. But what they do is to
suggest another whole dimension
Of this problem, a dimension that
the advent Of automation and
atomic energy are even today
opening up. One Of tomorrow's
great challenges will be to make
good use Of what will very posi-
bly, be a greatly increased leisure.
To face, in the spirit Of the
new America, the challenge Of
maintaining the standards Of
living and the work opportun-
tiles Of older people is necessary
to face at the same time the
challenge Of increased leisure.

In the new America, the tradi-
tional ideals of our Nation-tht
ideals of freedom, OF justice and
abundance for all. life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness
will at last find their destined
fulfillment.
We stand today on the edge
OF the new America. But To
move ahead and realize its full
promise is no easy task; for II
means making freedom, justice
and abundance meaningful, not
for just a part of our people, but
for all Americans.
Yet for the first time in the
history of the world we have the
means to attain our goals. We
are entering an age Of abundance
unprecedented in history. In the
new age. our abundance must
be the servant, not just of some
of us, but of us all. We will be
false to our ideals unless our
abundance serves to enrich the
lives Of every American family.
I believe that a good place Il
