jority of whom are expert in
their work.
1t has taken many years,
and the investment OF great
sums Of the memberships
money, for the employees to
learn their work.
If the Supreme Office were
moved to the Childrcn's Home
grounds, the majority Of our
present employees would be
without work, and we would
be forced to employ a new,
inexperienced staff, which
would paralyze our operations
for a long time.
Can't Satisfy Everyone
BY moving the Supreme Of
flee to the Children's Home
grounds, we would satisfy our
members in the states of 1lli-
nois, Indiana and others near
the Childrens Home.
But on the other hand. we
would slight the feelings of a
good one-third of the entire
membership of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, living in the
so-called Tri-State Area, COM
prised Of Western Pennsylva-
MIA and eastern sections Of
West Virginia and Ohio. The
cradle of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union is in Pittsburgh,
where it should stay.
We are left with two
possibilities. First, that the
present office building be
remOdeled; second, that the
present building be sold,
ground be purchased. and a
new building be erected.

questions in following issues

of the resolution, and was
in favor of leaving the fl
nal decision to the next
convention.
In the minutes Of the Su-
preme Board meetings, our
members will be able to read
the entire discussion on this
subject and the reasons for
the final decision, as stated at
the beginning Of this article.
Legal And Other Snags
1t was explained at the
start that moving the Home
Office from Pennsylvania in
to another state is connected
with insurmountable difficult
ties and legal obstacles.
The Society was founded in
Old Allegheny SO years ago,
and is presently the largest
fraternal organization holding
a charter in Pennsylvania.
If the Supreme Office were
moved to Illinois, we would
be required by the laws Of
that state to apply for a new
charter there, and start op-
Grating as a new organization,
and seek licenses to do busi-
ness in all Of the states of the
Union and provinces Of Can
ada where we have been op-
Grating all these long years.
In the discussion it was
also brought out that the
buildings now existing on
the grounds of the Chill
dren's Home could not be
used for the SOciety's
Home Offices. The erection
of new buildings OH the
grounds would cost every
bit as much as building in
Pittsburgh or it's vicinity.
The Children's Home real
estate in Des PLANES has a
great value at the present
time, which is increasing from
year to year, and when the
time comes that the need, for
which the institution is be-
ing maintained, will no long
er exist, the property can be
disposed of at a good price.
Clerical Staff Problem
The question of office per-
sonnel also comes into consid.
Grafton in discussing the
transfer of the Supreme Of

The many who played a
role in planning these festivi-
ties will never receive the full
credit due them for their eff
forts.
But they'll be amply repaid
if you and yours turn out for
this fete.

Unity "Sloga" was achieved
in 1916, assets merged, and
ground was broken for the
construction of a Croatian
Hall.
The home was completed
and dedicated in 1917, and is
even today, after 40 years,
considered one of the best
halls in the community and
among the top Croatian
Homes in the Nation. =
In the four decades of it's
existence the Croatian So

Croatian social and cultur-
al activity in this area. In
it's home all activities of

Many of our younger gen.

tutelage Of it's educational
committees; others h ave
