SO. CHICAGO, Ill. - The
Croatian Singing S ocie ty
Croatia" will sponsor it's
Third Annual Concert on Sun
day, June 9, at the Croatian
Home, 9618 Commercial Ave.
This concert was earlier
scheduled to be held on May

the fact that the 'Zora" Sing
ing Society held it's 55th An
niversary celebration at that
time.
Beginning at 5 pm, "Cro-
alta" will present something
new in the way of concert mu-
sic, with solos, duets and cho-
raj NUMBERS.
A few folk dances will also
be performed to the accompa-
niment of the "Zviezda" Tam
buritza Orchestra of East
Chicago.
Due to the fact that the
Society receives no support
or aid from anyone outside of
our own Croatian followers
and lovers of Croatian cul-
ture, it is urgent that our
events be we'll attended.

made by many peoples and
many nations the world over
to the development of this
country, and set out to pro-
vide a museum of stature to
fill the gap. One of their first
steps was to seek the advice
of a group of distinguished
historians. This Historians
Committee includes such lead
ing historians as Theodore c.
Blegen of the University of
Minnesota, John Hope Frank
lin of Brooklyn College, Oscar
Handlin of Harvard, John A.
Krout and Allan Nevins of
Columbia, Carl Wittke of
Western Reserve University,
and Archibald MacLeish, poet
and student of history, for
mer Librarian of Congress,
now of Harvard. Educators
and scholars have thus been
involved in The Museum pro-
ject from the beginning"
The American Museum of
immigration will be built at
the foot of the Statue of Lib
erty. Once established, it will
be maintained by the National
Park Service, Department of
the Interior, and will become
the center for an educational
program to serve communi-
ties, groups and schools
throughout the United States.
"The basic theme of The
Museum will be the dra-
matization of the unity
achieved from the diversi-
ty of Americas back
grounds" Mr.. du Pont con-
tinued, "thus giving new
life and meaning to the
United States motto, e
Pluribus Unum."
The national appeal for
funds to build and equip The
Museum and to endow it's ed
ucational program is now un-
der way. This campaign,
known as MI-Operation Uni
ty, is projected to the men,
women and children of all
America, and to the organiza-
tions to which they belong.
It offers a unique opportu-
nifty for each person to dem
onstrate effective citizenship
and to identify himself ac-
lively with the flow of Ame-
rican history.
The name of every contri-
butor will be preserved for all
time in The Museums arch
ives, and donors of $40 or
more will also have their pho
tographs recorded on micro
film so that they may be
viewed at any time by them
