southern portion of the state
holding a slight edge.
OF this a little over 5000,
Lodge III is the largest
unit west of Chicago. 1t
numbers over 100 members.
Thus only 5 Lodges are
larger.
Together with it's nest
which boasts Of 261 members
, it is thus a sizable unit -
truly a bastion of CF'U power.
After the program we
spent more hours in close
camaraderie with fellow fra
ternalists. The hours flew
by because we were amongst
our own =. paradoxically,
across the continent and yet
at home with people, most
of whom we had never seen
before, yet people who were
as friendly and cordial as if
we'd all been born under the
same roof.
And, we need not stretch
our imagination too much to
be able to liken our common
membership in a great organi.
zation to that roof which
YIELDS us all into one great
family, shields us all from
the trials and tempests of the
outside world.
1t was in this happy frame
of mind that we returned to
| our hotel and bid a fond good
night to bro. Kovacevich and
his charming wife The NOR
row and the day after were
to bring more fraternal gath
erings, but of a vastly diff
ferent nature.

Anthony Marma|ich A Victim Of Odd Mishap

WILLIAMSBURG, Pa. -
Anthony Marmalich, SO, Of
Williamsburg, r. d. I, died
shortly after admission to the
Altoona Hospital on Septem-
Der q, 1857. Death was
caused by injuries received in
a tractor accident on a farm
in the Yellow Springs area.
Mr.. Marmalich, a contract
farmer, and Henry j. Young
were discing, narrowing and
seeding a field, each man
driving a tractor, when Mr..
Young noticed Mr.. Marina
lich's tractor running in cir
cles without an operator. He
found Mr.. Marmalich lying
on the ground about 200 feet
away.
There was a slight grade
at the scene of the mishap,
but since a cushion, used by
him, still remained on the
seat, it was believed he had
not been jolted from the
machine. A medical case
history indicated he may
| have suffered a fainting
spell or a slight heart at
tack and fell from the
tractor.
Mr.. Marmalich apparently
fell backward and the disc
and seed drag passed over his
body. The hospital listed his
injuries as a fractured skull,
fractured ribs, internal iniu-
ries, possible fractured back
and multiple contusions and
abrasions.
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1957-11-13

injuries received in an auto
mobile accident in California.
John was born July 9th,
1887, and attended the Hib-
bing Schools. At the time Of
his death, he was serving
with the US. Navy at Fuller
ton.
John was also a member of
the Blessed Sacrament Catho-
lie Church and the Civil Air
Patrol.
Rev. Msgr. Patrick Byrnes
was celebrant at the Requiem
High Mass and burial was at
the Maple Hill Cemetery.
Survivors include his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Paver; two brothers, Ray
mond and Dennis, at home;
one sister, Mrs. Betty Maher,
Duluth, MINI. and his ma
ternal grandmother, Mrs. An
ma Minerich of Hibbing.
May his Soul Rest in Peace.

years ago. Being a printer by
trade, and possessing mar
velous business talent, he fol-
lowed his profession but for
a short time only.
A year later he organized
a printing shop which, thru
the years, developed into a
big printing plant, presently
managed by his son, John,
and his partner and lifelong
friend, Matt Binicki.
Luka did not only occupy
a visible position in the busi-
ness world, but he also was
engaged in manifold social
activities of fraternal, bene-
violent and cultural organiza-
tions.
Bro. Mesic became a
member of the CrOatian
Fraternal Union in 1882.
When, in 1888. the organi-
zation planned to establish
it's own printing shop, he,
as an expert in that field,
was entrusted with the task
Of executing the plan,
which he did splendidly.
He also was a member and
for a time the Vice President
of the Croatian Singing So
ciety "Zora' in Chicago.
However, his great popu-
larity was by no means limit
ed to the Croatian people
only. A large number Of his
American friends suffer the
same loss as we do.
True Fraternalist
Luka was Mason, a mem
Der of the oldest and largest
fraternal order in the world.
1t dates from the 14th
Century and has about three
million members in America
and a million or more mem
bers in other countries.
This organization advocates
intellectual and spiritual free
dom; teaches tolerance and
inculcates charity. 1t has
several sub-orders and de-
grees. Luka was in one Of the
highest, Shriners (Nobles of

Little "Wally', as he is
called, follows the footsteps
of his two older sisters, kath-
leen and Joan, and five cous-
ms.
The officers and members
Of this nest welcome Wally
into their ranks and wish him
the best of health, happiness
and success in the future.
We also wish to congratu-
late the parents on their wise
decision to enroll their young
ster in the best insurance or

The 1857 Champions
When the wars ended Oct.

One wrist watch to bro.

the Mystic Shrine for North
America).
He also belonged to the
Elks Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order, an American
Fra ezra | Organization
with membership of 9OO,-
600. The Elks' purpose is
to practice charity, broth
erly love and faithfulness.
Aims of these noble organi.
cations agreed with Luka's
ideas about ideals of life and
he joined them.
Productive Lifetime
If we add to this that Luka
was associated with a few
more societies and groups,
including the Congregational
Church Of Des PLANES, and
above all that he was an ex-
emplary husband, father and
grandfather as we'll as a true
friend to all those who sought
sincere and unselfish friend
ship, amiability and loyalty,
we will get close to an ap-
proXimate picture Of a man
whose observation-disclosures, in
tegrity and honesty shone on
every step of his productive
and brilliant life.
l am aware that nothing
I can write can alleviate
the sorrow, soften the blow,
and tighten the grief OF
Mrs. Mesich and family,
but they can take comfort
in the knowledge that Luka
was highly esteemed and
respected by thousands Of
friends, and his passing is
felt by them all, very much.
When | lost my wife six
years ago, |, too, felt the
world was at an end, but time,
in it's own way, heals our
wounds, and will undoubtedly
heal theirs too. They cannot
stop; they have to 60 on,
face life's problems.
Memories of Luka will in
still in them encouragement,
strength and inspiration.

sympathies - for whatever
they may be worth.
The Canadian Chapter
Much of the success of the
1857 Campaign can be traced
to our Canadian brethren, in
whose honor the recently end
ed drive was dedicated when
it began Jan. l last.
The Dominion's top re-
cruiter proved to be Josip Su-
mic of Montreal, Quebec,
Lodge 900. He came into the
honor with 462 Points.
Behind him with 425 Points
came Michael Mijatovich Of
Toronto, Ontario, Lodge 975
and finishing in third place
was Joseph Stanovich Of Ha-
milton, Ont, Lodge GA, who
amassed 398 Points during
the Campaign.
As usual. Mary Burma,
Vancouver, b. c., Lodge
1877 Secretary, emerged as
the DOminion's foremost
female recruiter with 289
Points.
Perish the thought that the
day will come when she won't
be among the Society's most
dependable representatives in
the campaign field.
Gary's william Vician
The biggest surprise of the
Campaign would have to be
William r. Vician.
For several reasons.
j. As a member Of Gary,
Ind, Lodge ITO, he knew next
to nothing about the Society's 8
campaign ropes when the
1857 drive was ushered in
Jan. 1.
y Being comparatively
young in years, not too much
was expected Of him.
81 He didn't get into the
campaign swing of things un-
til rather late in the game and
confided in us that he didn't
expect to set the world on fire
with his work.
But he Overcame the odds
and finished fourth when
the final 1857 Campaign
statistics were compiled at
the Home Office on Nov. 1.
Total Points-6O1.
Rarely has a newcomer to
the CFU campaign wars done
so we'll his first time out.
Our congratulations.

Luka Mesic Noted Businessman Passes Away in CHICAGO

CHICAGO, III. - There is
nothing more difficult than to
write a eulogy about a friend,
whom you had known for the
last thirty five years and
lived with in closest friend
ship ever since.
1t is far from easy for
me to write about Luka
Mesic, who passed away
Oct. %, 1857, just when his
desire to live was so intense
and when many Of his am
bitiOns remained unrealized.
He loved to live because
he knew that his life was
needed and extremely useful
and he never gave up hope,
not even when the horrible
disease narrowed his vitality
to a minimum.
Gradually losing weight
and strength, he refused to
see many of his friends, so as
to avoid embarrassment, but
he had for them one hopeful
message - that he would see
them all when he recovers
and recuperates.
Memories, Memories
We all knew that this would
not happen and it seemed that
