Mister V Goes To Town

one fell sWoop last week was credited by the
Junior Order Department with 152 Points
for his most recent successful sales talk
afield?
Would they still bemoan the alleged dis
interest of the younger members in their
Society when they learn that bro. Vician, an
affiliate of Gary Lodge ITO, happens to have
attained the ripe old age of two score and
four years?
Or would they rather overlook the fact
that Mr.. V has been going to town during
this Campaign and harp on others who
haven't been able to match his strides?
X X X
True, bro. Vician - Mr.. v - is one of
the select few able to show as many as 400
Points for his or her efforts at this late
stage of the 1857 Campaign.
We will even go so far as to admit that
the Society could use many, many more of
his tireess recruiting caliber.
But it always could.
Even during the highly successful likes
of the 1856 Campaign which had attached
to it the enticing lure Of a 2O-day expense
paid visit to Yugoslavia.
So, let us forget this nonsense that our
1857 Campaign isn't producing results and
settle down to business during the remain
ing months of this important drive, which
will end Oct. 81 next.

$4,000 Weekly

NATA GATHERED FOR the Aver Di-
- rectory of Newspapers and Periodicals
shows that there has been remarkable
growth in both daily and weekly newspaper
circulation since the year of 1850.
The report shows that there are now
78,361,OO copies printed per issue by the
daily and weekly newspapers of the United
States, an all-time, record high.
The dailies are producing 56,596,0 900
copies day; the all too often unappreci-
ated weeklies 21,765,O0O per issue.
. The Aver report should be of interest
to all members of the Croatian Fraternal
Union who read it's Official Organ.
Why?
Because the weekly circulation of The
Zajednicar = nearly 10000 copies per issue
- is a matter of record in Ayers annual
coverage of the newspaper field
Further, The Zajednicar is considered
to be one of the best edited, 'liveliest" week
ly fraternal publications in the United
States. And this by advertisers who do not
select just any foreign language" news
paper to do business with on a coast-to-
coast circulation basis
X K
Yes, we know all about that time hon.
ored gag that The Zajednicar comes in
mighty handy to keep the floors clean after
every weekly scrubbing ritual.
But, as they say let's face it.
Without The zajednicar the Croatian
Fraternal Union would not be long for this
world nor any other world, for that
matter.
Who is there to say that we are talking
nonsense, or through our hat?

Such is the power of repeti-

"well-perhaps-maybe".
When it comes to question
ing the ability of our CFU to

ZAGREB, Croatia - The
lights in the hotel breakfast
room were subdued, soft, and
gray. A dozen people sat at
small tables, all looking one
way: at a TV screen. 1t might
have been in Italy or Austria.
In fact it was in the Hotel
Esplanade in this city of
100000 Croats and western
capital of President Tito's Yu-
goslavia.
Television is still in it's
infancy in this country. Ex-
periments are still being
made with a Yugoslav set.
But 5000 people already
have foreign-made sets, and
almost all of them are in
stalled in Croatia or neigh
boring Slovenia to pick up
Italian and Austrian pro-
grams.
zagreb already has it's own
station, not only to relay for
eign programs but also to give
viewers it's own once a week.
Belgrade, the federal capital
25O miles to the east, is too
far away to give would-be
viewers programs from Mia
no or Graz.
Trade Fairs Staged
This is symbolic of the
mood in this gracious little
Croatian city, with it's pleas

and courtesy of the order and
the more enduring influences
Of the old empire of which it
once was an outpost.
Zagreb may be the Sec
ond city of the federation
now, but it has no intention
of playing second fiddle to
Belgrade.
For so years it has staged
an international Trade Fair,
which may be today over
loaded with the political
shows that the Soviet Union
and it's allies love to put on
these occasions. But Zagreh
preserves, for all that, some
