If all African peoples in their
pursuit of freedom and social
progress" Nkrumah told his par
lament on independence Day.
Aware of the implications this
aim carried, he warned his peo-
ple that eff we fail, showing
ourselves disunited, inefficient,
or corrupt, then we shall have,
gravely harmed all those mil
lions in Africa who looks to u.s."
The subject of most immediate
speculation was the policy Ghana
intends to follow in West Africa.
Earl Mazo of the New York Her
aid Tribune reported that mo-
mentS after independence was
proclaimed, Nkrumah confided
to his associates that he intends
to call, as quickly as possible,
a summit" conference of heads
of independent African states,
as well as African nationalist
leaders from European control
led colonies throughout the west
ern shoulder of the continent.
Aim of the conference would be
to accelerate movements for in
dependence and lay the ground
work for a confederation of West
African nations, long an Nkru-
nah dream. The idea would be
to create a regional unity which
would contribute to an emergent
West Africa'S economic and po-
litical strength. Howver, the
Tribune report was not i'm
mediately confirmed, and Nkru-
nah since told a. press confer
ence he is planning is for Afric-
an nations already independent.
One big question mark, aside
from Ghana'S relations with
emerging British territories, is
Ghana'S relations with France,
whose territories surround the
new nation on all sides except
to Seaward.
Nkrumah said this month he
still looks forward, to a fedora
ton of West African states.
France, meanwhile, has been

plan. Whether French and
Ghanian policies would run into
conflict was yet to be seen.

commenting in the journal
"WeSt Africas said the first
year of independence may be
vital in determining how France
anG Ghana will react to each
other. AS one extreme, it would
be possible for Ghana to raise
the banner of Pan-AfricaniSm
and campaign for the ejecution
of France from West Africa, he
wrote. Ghana could make a de-
termined propaganda assault,
using broadcaStS from Accra,
leaflets, resolutions in the UN
and numerous other methods;
on the other hand, she might
find gentler prodding more pro-
pitious, Dawson felt. (This
month Nkrumah stressed to re-
porterS that Ghana would as

independence primarily by Cha

sponsible government.) Even
Ghana's independent presence
will be unsettling to French West

And now, on the threshold Of success, the door
was slammed in my face. My state Of mind was
such that could not help voicing my bitterness
and resentment TO my friends.
One of these was an old Irish nun, the Rev

So many Of us, meeting with sudden dis
appointment, misfortune or defeat, raise cry
Of anger and resentment against Heaven. Why
should God do this to us? To be deprived Of

harder perhaps to understand.
Yet we cannot measure the Divine Providence
by the petty yardStick of our human mentality
What we think an evil may well be for our
eventual good. Self-centered and self-induleent,
we sometimes need to be brought up sharply.
The demands God makes of us may
seem hard at times, yet we ought not to whine.
He never takes from us without giving some
thing greater in return. DiSappointments and
troubles are often the instruments with which
He fashions US for better things to come.
Life IS no straight and easy corridor along
which we travel free and unhampered. but
maze Of passages, through which we must seek

blind alley. But always, if we have faith, God
will open door for us, not perhaps one that
We ourselves would ever have thought Of, but
one that will ultimately prove good for US.

Mothers Day Plays
Nav Be Obtained From
Sports.Ed Department

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - If
your lodge or nest is plan
ming a Mothers Day program,
we have available suitable
plays and literature which
will help you fill in or even
shape such a program.
Said material is FREE
to you as a service of the
CrOatian Fraternal Union.
We hope that you won't
have Mothers Day pass
without a program because
you lack the material to
round out a program.
Atop Of the junior kolo and
tamburitza groups in many of
our C.F.U. colonies, the gen.
eral Mothers Day material
should give vent to another
talent day for the Juniors to
strut their stuff.
Once again we invite you
to write to the Croatian Fra
ternal Union in care of the
Sports-Educational D e p a rt-
ment, 3441 Forbes Street,
Pittsburgh 13, Pa, for plays
and literature pertinent to

each).
Now we have $3.50 base
plus $3.50 bonus for a total
Of $500. Assuming that the
membership runs to Is Term
and 4 endowment contracts
the manager would be in line
for another $3.50 for Term
and $1.OO for Endowment
members thus totaling $3.50.
All deaths, cash surrenders,
reserve expirations and trans
fers to adult membership as
well as suspensions are con-
sidered as losses and can be
replaced only by new or rein
stated members.
Some Surprising Gains
A perusal of the gift list"
on our desk discloses some
handsome amounts ranging
from the high of S3O3.05 for
the largest nest to as little as
$40 for those with but one
Term member. All amounts of
less than $1.OO will be given
the manager through the as
sessment as a credit and he
may then take it out of the
nest treasury.
AS always the locales Of
peak recruiting activity bene-
fitted here too. The centers
which registered noticeable
campaign success reaped a.
mother harvest Of dollars.
This is an added reason for
continuing such activity in
the current membership drive.

equitable division of your dol
lar as between the functional
expenses and your promised
return, as witness our new
Single Premium Plan.
1t gives us great pleasure
now to announce the distribu-
ton Of Nest Manager Awards
for 1856. And, bearing out
our aforementioned conten-
ton of ever greater returns to
you leaders and membership
in the field, we can proudly
point out that this latest fra
ternal melon is almost twice
the size of the previous years.
Our managers collected
S6,O24 for 1855, and now
their prize is the very at
tractive sum of Sill, ,435.1O
An increase of exactly
$5,411.1O.
And what's more-we are
most happy to give it. May
this sum grow year by year
for as it reflects, in the main,
a growth in membership it
will be an expense item glad
ly underwritten.
Managers Can't Lose
The greatest portion of the
rise in the awards is due how
ever to the addition Of a new
prize.
BY decision of the Supreme
Board we have added a Rec
ognition Award" to the old
M m be r s h ip Conservation
and Bonus Payments.
BY this every manager is
given 10 cents for every Term
and 25 cents for every En-
dowment or 20 Pay member
on his books at the end Of the
year. Thus every manager is
in line for some recognition
for his or her services even
if he or she could not main
tain his membership count.
The old awards continue
and are paid in accordance
with the Conservation Sched-
ule printed on this page. The
beginning Of the year men,
bership places the nest in one
Of the categories, eg, 10 to
is members-S2.5O. If the
January I, 1856, membership
stood at IA and December 81,
1856, it was 10 then the base
award would be $3.50
To this would be added
$50 for each increase (af-
ter deducting all transfers
from other nests and add
ing all transfers into other
nosts). If no transfers oc-
cured then the bonus award
would amount to $3.50 6
