thought it wise to enter Wheaton College in Chicago,

Cleveland-Pittsburgh

NN SUNDAY, August 26, the United Gro
~ attain Fraternal Union Lodges of Cleve-
land will celebrate their twentieth Fraternal
Dav with Picnic and Program.
Awaiting to greet the anticipated crowd
are the distinguished and popular Governor
of the State of Ohio, Frank j. Laushe, and
our own Supreme President Brother '. l.
Mandich.
The impressive program as compiled by
the committee appears on page seven, ana
we see that nothing has been spared IN the
preparation for joyful day of celebration
for all those in attendance.
This yearly event merits the wholeheart-
ed support of every CF'U member and we
urge that YOU attend. Your presence will be
appreciated by your society," the hard work
ing committee on arrangements, and most
certainly you will be pleased to be part
of this elaborate manifestation of F'raternal
life Our best wishes to Cleveland for a sue
cessful event and we are sorry that due TO
other commitments we cannot be there IN
person.
Another great celebration will take place
at the Croatan Center, off Babcock Blvd,
Just outside Pittsburgh Pa.
After many years of existence the Unit
ed Lodges of Western Pa were able to
ACQUIRE one of the most suitable picnic
grounds in Western Pa. At long last the
lodges of this district can hold their plcnlcs
In the nearby vicinity, on their own prop
erty, for the benefit of their respective lodge
treasures At this point we should like to-
commend the aggressive leadership OF these
United Lodges who in the past five or SIX
years set goal of acquiring such property
and have succeeded by the purchase of the
Croatian Center In mentioning this leader
ship we feel certain that the names OF few,
such as Bro Philip Vukelich, Secretary, Mar
tin Krasich and Stephen F. Brkich past presi-
dents and present vice presidents can safely
be pointed out as being instigators of this
project Realizing that they alone, could not
have carried this out, we must also commend
all the other committee members and the
membership behind them, during this NOM
entous drive to realize this monument to the
members of the Croatian Fraternal Union
In Western Pennsylvania.
Sisters and Brothers we urge you to at
tend this Picnic at the Croatian Center, Sun
day August 26, which is deserving Of your
moral and financial support.

National Sports

IN the last couple issues of the "Z' our
] Sports Director Bro Frank Braidic has
started survey on the possibility of or
ganized Ten-Pin Bowling in the Pittsburgh
district.
Pittsburgh admittedly being a Duckpin
area, we realize that he has his job cut out
for him, but we are also confident that it
can and should be a successful undertaking.
AS Western Pennsylvania we naturally
are duckpin enthusiasts being participants
in some league in and around our home town
every winter. An opportunity to bowl ten
pins very rarely presents itself since there
are but few organized Ten-Pin leagues in
the vicinity.
Being the location of our Home Office
1t would certainly be fitting that the Pitts
burgh District be we'll represented in every
sports event that is held on a National scale.
Having attended the past three CFU Ma
tional Bowling Tournaments, we can truth
fully say that they are events where true
sportsmanship and Fraternalism is dis
played. The friendly competitive display on
the alleys can only be surpassed by the en-
joyment of Brothers and Sister Bowlers at
the evening socials and the usual perennial
banquet climaxing weekend of good fellow
ship.
AS proof let us cite an example as ex-
perienced by one of our neighboring lodges
in Western Pennsylvania. In early 1854 five
members of Hrvatska Villa Lodge 141, in
East Pittsburgh decided to attend the tour
nament held in Detroit. Came the tourna-
ment weekend, they drove to Detroit and
participated in their first National CF'U tour
nament. Upon returning to their homes they
were so enthused over their experience that
they lost no time in planning for the fol-
lowing year in Chicago. In 1866 we again
see HryatsAa Via represented, this time by

1t is the policy of our
United Lodges to travel from
lodge to lodge with our con-

an opportunity to sit in on
one of our meetings. We are
practicing the dem cra y
that we live by and there

Lodges is not dictated to,

MES and staunch supporters.

delegates to attend this forth
coming conference on Sun

Fraternalism

r VERY fraternal benefit society of the
l. National Fraternal Congress of Amer
lea is proud of it's financial statement. The
fraternal benefit societies have some other
assets, however that are not always taken
into consideration but that are so important
that they should never be overlooked.
There is an asset that surpasses any
other and that is the spirit of ownership that
comes with the fraternal organization. Every
person who becomes a member of frater-
nal society becomes part owner of it with
just as large share as the highest officer
the same right of expression and the value
of his or her vote. He can oppose any action
that might be proposed and he can go to
the very top of the Society with protest,
with complete right to be heard.
To this asset there might also be added
that greater thing which we call fraternal-
ism and which manifests itself in the desire
of every member to do what is best for the
entire group without regard to his or her
own interests or desires. This is really the
heart of the fraternal system and that it
is real and moving force is best seen in the
many services which the fraternal society
renders outside of its actual contract.
When you read of the members of a So
ciety blowing and seeding the fields of an
unfortunate member; when you read of the
members rebuilding home that has been
destroyed by fire. when you hear of any of
the many human services that are rendered
by fraternal group, you are hearing of the
greatest asset that the society has-the
asset of love for fellow man. Of course, the
afflicted brother could have insurance to
pay for illness or fire or any other misfor-
tune but he could never have enough; but
the small payment of money the fraternal
society has given him is an assurance that
surpasses anything that he could buy and
it comes to him because his brothers know
that he would do as much for any of them
under like conditions.
Liabilities? The fraternal system has
only one liability today and that is not too
serious That liability is the inactive mem
ber. That liability is not a danger to the
stability of the society. He "keeps up his
dues and makes contributions" and hence
in no way endangers the finances of his So
ciety. He is only liability to the growth
of the society. He takes his protection, and
when he dies, he simply leaves vacancy on
the roster. He is liability only because he
has not prepared someone to take his place
We really have a great purpose. Every fra
ternal benefit society looks to the National
Fraternal Congress of America for leader
ship. 1t recognizes that among the assets
of fraternal societies it enjoys hidden and
untold accomplishments. Now-are you an
asset or are you liability to your society?
If you have not taken your full part in the
past will you not do so during the coming
year?

one women's and one mems team. On their
return from Chicago they organized lodge
league and in 1856 they were able to have
four participating teams at the past tourna-
ment in Buffalo. AS further proof, ask any
member of Lodge al how they feel about
this latest activity which they have under
taken, and we are quite certain that some
of this enthusiasm will rub off and spread
throughout Western Pennsylvania.
Our hope is that Pennsylvania will be
represented in the forthcoming tournament
by minimum of thitry mems, women's, and
junior teams. Let's plan now to meet in
Cleveland on May 2-3-4-5, 1857. Get in touch
with our Sports Director, Brother Frank
Braidic for information, or any help that is
assded ....-..- ~.
