Mothers Dav

WE have never had any trouble arriving
w at clear cut decision as to whom we
would vote for Mother of The Year"
That would be Mrs. Theresa BrlSich, the
benign, ever understanding ever patient
little woman who brought us into this world
more than four decades ago and started us
on the road which eventually led to the post
we now hold in the Society.
Now in her twilight years, she is our
idea of the grandest Mother a man ever
had and this with still vivid memories
of some pretty fair whackings she passed
out during our adolescent years.
In the beautiful words of Mary Dow
Brine C'Somebody's Mother" 1879: -
She's somebody's mother, boys, you
know, for all she's aged and poor and slow"
That's our Mora. May God Bless her on
this Mothers Day of May II, 1857.

Field Men

The members Of the Society's Supreme
Board started something during their
recent semi-annual meetings at the Home
Office when they devoted an entire work
day to the subject of paid Field Men and
then tabled the matter in the end
Although the Minutes of the Board
showed that nothing concrete was decided
regarding Field Men in the Croatian Fra
ternal Union, the house organs of three
competitive organizations have since gone
into this subject and come up with ''yes,"
maybe" and mo" reactions.
The editor of one of these papers agrees
with the editor of the Zajednicar's Croatian
Section that paid Field Men and not
present day Membership Campaigns are
the answer to the recruiting troubles of the
average fraternal.
Another looks at the subject with
"could be- attitude, whereas the third is
satisfied that Membership Campaigns are
doing right well by his organization.
sWe personally do not take dim view
of Field Men entering the Croatian Frater-
nal Union picture of the future.
Like death and taxes, we would say that
such payroers seem inevitable.
So, if Field Men are indeed the answer
to the problem of increasing by thousands
the numerical strength of the Society, then
we are for putting them to work.
We are for any idea which will lead to
the betterment of the Croatian Fraternal
Union, be it proposed by our best friend or
vinced that any such new tangled thing
will actually produce results.
Since nothing was done about the
matter last March, the question of CF'U
Field Men won't be voted on again until the
September Supreme Board meetings.
In the meantime, the Executive Board
and other officials stationed at the Home
Office should take a long, hard look at the
''modus operandi' governing the conduct of
the Society's Membership Campaigns and
determine whether these drives can be made
more attractive and - ergo - productive.
1t just may be that the present Home
Office system of operating Campaign is
not in step with the times = when people
are making big money and aren't interested
in the prize award payments the CFU Of
fers for new business.
We intend to do our share of thinking
along this line before the next Supreme
Board meetings in September and see if
we can invent New Look Campaign"

MINNEAPOLIS Th e
Department of Slavic and
Oriental Languages of the
University of Minnesota in
cooperation with the Cores
pondence Study Department
announces a first course in
the Croatian language. This
course is designed for those
who desire to learn Croatian
but who are unable to come
to the University campus for
instruction.
Americans of Croatian
descent will find it an en-
riching and pleasant exper-
fence to learn the language
of their ancestors and
thereby to acquaint their
fellOW-Americans with the
cultural achievements of
the Croatian people.
A knowledge Of this impor-
tant South Slavic language
will also be valuable to stu
dents of international affairs.
Reasonable Tuition Fee
The course provides the
student with a sound founda-
tion in the Language.

AS of Jan. 1, 1857, California had $3.50

587. All of which adds up to grand total
of 1866 men, women, and children men,
bers in those six States.
An impressive figure, at first glance.
Even an enviable one in some competitive
quarters which come to mind in a hurry.
But this total of II ,565 is something less
than impressive when one is acquainted
with the cold hard fact that the recruiting
fields in those parts of America have yet
to be exploited
In fact the membership mother lode
there remains untouched to this day.
eve know, for another fact, that there
are ten times more people in California ELI
gible to affiliate with the Society than are
at present in its ranks there.
We cannot go as high in the cases Of
Washington Oregon, Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana, for they cannot compare with
California in the matter of attracting great
shifts in population from the East and Mid
West to the Far West areas.
But we do know that our membership
can at least be doubled in these five States
if the Croatian Fraternal Union is "peddled'
there in it's proper perspective.
No, we are not challenging bro. Ovcarich
to return to Pittsburgh next month with
bales of new membership applications.
We are merely accentuating what can
be done in the future if our campaigners
in California, Washington, Oregon, Utah
Wyoming, and Montana care to reap the
crops in their areas. Stet,
