 Visit in Alaska With Servicernen

 SEATTLE, R-The Rev. pr. Edwin T. Dahlberg, president 1T the National Council of Churches, returned yesterday from a Christ mas visit to the armed forces in Alaska with praise for the moral and spiritual insights of the mili- tary men in the territory.
 Dr. Dahlberg recalled that in the first century of the Christian era the men in the Roman army camps were a chief factor in the spread of Christianity turnout the Roman Empire.
 "Why should that not happen in America?" he asked.
 He said there is "far greater togetherness" of Protestant de nominations in the Alaska Com- mand than in the average civilian community.
 He added that ssintegration of the races shows far more progress among the men and women in uniform"

Administration OKs Billion-Dollar
 Program to Bolster Education

GETTYSBURG, Pa, RAA bil- ion-dollar four-year program to bolster education was approved today by President Eisenhower.
 It contemplates 10000 federal scholarships each year and 50-50 matching grants to states.
 The plan was released after Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Folsom conferred an hour with the President.
 Folsom said the federal pro- gram would try to correct defi- ciencies in education which If allowed to continue would seri- ously weaken our national secur- ity effort" and is an answer to Russia's continuing ,buildup in the science field.
 But, in a news conference, Fol \ som made it clear science and mathematics would not be the only subjects stressed. He said the program aims to bring thousands more students into colleges.
 The program calls for appropri- ation of $225 million in the first year with a four-year total of a billion dollars.
 Tn a report to the President, Folsom said the program seeks to overcome "a tragic waste" of a most valuable resource-the tall ent of youngsters. It was designed to forestal1 the alarming number of drop-outs among top high school students who do not go on to college.
 The report stressed that sthe main support for education must come in the future, as in the past, from state, local and private sources"

 The air-breathing Shark guided missile, with range of 5000 miles, is now considered opera tional and launching sites are be- ing organized.
 While the Shark has the range of the still-developmental inter continental ballistic missile (the ICBM), it's speed is below that of sound and it's operating altitude is down in the earth'S atmosphere. The Air Force expects the first deliveries of the Thor IRBM- with a maximum accurate range of 1,5O0 miles+to be made late in 1858.
 The details of the war plans folio, or course, are highly secret but an IRBM list might include potential targets as deep in central Russia as the munitions complexes in the area of the Ural Mountains, if launching points from Turkey were used. From bases in Britain and Free Europe, Moscow would be within range of IRBMs.

This is the second time

Dick Crum has already re-

once again be bringing a
wealth of ideas and material
back to the United States for

Strictly C.F.U.

wv E WE'RE ASKED recently to publicize
" on these pages an outing under the
sponsorship of lodge of an organization
in direct competition with the Croatian
Fraternal Union of America.
Whether the writer of the article sent
the material to us by way of testing our
sense of cooperating with our fellow men
is something known only to him.
But if he thought = for one fleeting
moment = that the pages of the English
Section of the zajednicar are open to conf
petitors of the Croatian Fraternal Union
of America he was 1000 wrong.
We don't do business that way.
We have had reason on occasions to
regret the publication on these pages of
certain material mostly during our fledg-
ling years as the English Editor.
But experience is great teacher and
we have long since learned to mind our
editing ps and as with care to spare.
Certainly always to the point where no
competitor of the Society can expect a free
ride on these pages at the expense of the
vast membership of the Croatian Fraternal
Union of America.
Charity, they say, begins at home.
So does our allegiance to those who
made our tenure in office possible.

Further, the Program has the full ell
dorsement of the Supreme Board of the
Croatian Fraternal Union of America,
which is the Society's ruling body between

of the English Section of the Zajednicar.
In fact - and for the record - we endorsed
Mr. Eisenhower's Program we'll in advance
of the Societys affiliation with it's Nation

Now, it is perfectly obvious what is
expected of the Croatian Fraternal Union
of America during the course of it's affi-

1t is up to us as members of the lar
gest such Society on earth - to win for
America lasting good will among the peo-

kin here in North America.
How?

The Supreme Board of the

Going Concern

T HERE WAS A time and not so long ago
] at that, when the average American
looked askance at those who indulged in
the ancient sport of golf or should we
have said "golfing?"
But, as with many aversions of the past,
the game of "barnyard pool" is now accept
ed to the point where it is played by mil
lions, rich and poor alike.
Among them many, many members of
the Croatian Fraternal Union of America
both here and in the Dominion of Canada.
X
just how popular this sport is in the
ranks of the Society will be pointed up Sat-
urday, Aug 8, with the staging in La

West Golf Tournament.
While we received no last-minute report
on the number of members who will parti-
cipate in this links classic, we do know that
the members of host "Velebit" Lodge 864,
Congress Park, ILL.,, are looking forward to
the largest such CFU sports gathering on
record
In other words = this mid d-summer tee
tryst is now a going concern.

"CDay" In Kenosha

At FIRST GLANCE, there is nothing UNI
~ usual about the fact that our members
in Kenosha, Wise, will stage their 18th An
nual "Croatian Day. on Sunday, Aug 4.
Nor that the celebration is sponsored
annually under the aegis of the communi-
tvs three CFU Lodges = Nos. 2O7, 276 and
692 and the personnel of the Elias Tam
buritza Serenaders Orchestra.
You might even say that after decade
all of this is now old hat.
But not so when you realize that our
members there annually sponsor the only
"Croatian Day held in the Midwest.
Which is to the credit of Kenosha (pop-
ulation 1853, census 1950).
And to the amazement of our members
in by far larger Midwest centers such as
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis, Kansas City,
ct al, who seem to have been overpowered
by the bigness of their cities in recent years
and are now out of touch with things Gro
atianic.
Be that as it may, there will always be

No More Fitting Gift

. Another point that comes
to mind is the fact that GER
tificate maturity options whe-
ther on Single Premium or
monthly payment basis are
identical.
This makes them much
more attractive for him who
has paid a lump sum for the
coverage since the smaller
cost against the same return
makes the profit that much
greater.
These, then, are the stand
out features of Single Pre-
MUM plans. The Junior Or
der Department is the chief
beneficiary of this new ven-
ture for it gives a strong in
centive for parents to provide
their children with the best
and most reasonable insur-
ance protection in the world.
And what better gift can a
grandfather present to his
grandchild than a fully paid
certificate Of membership in
the CFU.
It is a gift supreme for in
stead of depreciating with
time, as everything else does,
that certificate increases in
value each succeeding day. 1t
