Believe it or not, the Stress

capacity and we are forced to
terminate enrolling new pu-

We simply had to do SO in
order that instructress Cathe-

now on her hands. She meets
wi t h her charges every

Perhaps we can again en-

University Tamburitzans Con-
cert, to be held Sunday after
noon, February II, at the Mu-
sic Hall. A brand-new produc-
ton will be offered, with the
latest in dances and songs.
You will not regret seeing the
show, as two of the featured
performers hail from Cleve-
land.
Ray Burovac is an accomp-
lished accordionist and is al
so one of the featured dan
GERS. A graduate of Benedic-
tine High School, he is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. (Slosar)
Burovac, who reside at 8S8 E.
139th.
Anne Perencevic, whose pa
rents reside at 1910 Sylvia
Ave, was for a long time, a
featured singer with the "Sla-
vulj" Chorus. 1t would GER
tainly be fitting for the
Greater Cleveland Croatians
to make this event a heart
warming welcome to these
two young students.
Following the concert, a re-
ception will be held at the
Croatian Home in Collinwood,
1911 Waterloo Rd. All tic
kets, with the exception of
those sold by members, will

Bro. Dewey kekich

OMAHA, Neb. - The grim
reaper struck a serious blow
in our community with the
loss of brother Dewey Nekich
Of Papillion, Nebraska, and
formerly of Rock Springs,
Wyoming.
Dewey was brought into
this world on March 26, 1922,
in Rock Springs, the son of
Simon and Anna Pavelich
Nekich.
From a tender age, Dewey
was affiliated with the CFU,
being a member of Nest 101
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1957-02-06

in Rock Springs. He attend
ed Washington Grade School
and later graduated from
Rock Springs High School in
1910.
Upon graduation, he enlist
ed for a six-year hitch in the
Navy and attained the rate
of electrician first class. Dur
ing the last crisis, he served
in the Pacific Theatre aboard
the destroyer USS Chester.
In 1914, under the govern
ment Viz program, he began
his education at Nebraska
State Teachers College in
Peru, Nebraska, where he
met his wife, the former Bar
bara Berger. In the following
years, he completed his stu
dies at Nebraska University,
graduating in 1850 with a
Bachelor of Science degree in
Architectural Engineering.
He was employed in Omaha
by the Army Corp of Engi-
neers until his death.
Dewey became a member
of SIS. Peter and Paul CFU
Lodge 1O1 in 1858 and was
most active in Croatian cir
cles here. He played the bass
in the Croatian Sons Tambu-
rita Orchestra and held the
position of president Of the
sick committee of Lodge 1O1
at the time of his illness. He
was also a member of the To-
cal Croatian Club.
A lingering illness of eight
months took brother Nekich
from our midst on December
3, 1856, in Denver, Colorado.
He was laid to rest in Cedar
Dale Cemetery in Papillion
with services from Kahler
Mortuary.
Dewey is survived by his
wife Barbara, son John, 5,
and daughter Sally, 2; and
his mother and stepfather,
Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Sulentich,
formerly of Rock Springs and
Laramie, Wyoming, and now
residing in Papillion.
Eternal rest grant unto him
o. Lord and may the perpe-
tual light shine upon him.

"The Conference was the
first systematic and persis-
tent attempt to allay the hos
tility and prejudice which
have diseased social, political
and business relations in
America" says DR.. Clinchy.
He began with the children
by alerting their educators to
the disease of hate. And it's
to their everlasting credit
that every school is aware OF
it today, even if negatively a
ware of it, as in the South.
Tremendous Organization
Then he turned to the
adults reaching into every
community organization from
churches to veterans posts.
And then they went into in
dustry through unions, per-
sonnel chiefs and chambers of
commerce.
AT the suggestion of a.
Catholic priest we began Bro
therhood Week." DR.. Clinchy
says. "It's now celebrated in
5000 cities and towns and is
a national institution indepen-
dent of us"
From the first DR.. Clinchy
took to the road to do his
work, not only in America,
but all over the world. He's
about to help set up a center
of human relations in Hol-
land.
On one ocean trip, after
meeting Dick Rodgers, the
song "You've Got To Be
Taught to Hate, showed up
in "South Pacific"
Quietly, tactfully, DR..
Clinchy and the National
Conference wrestle daily
with such problems as Ne
gro pilots on commercial
airlines, a suburb in Rich
mond barring Jews, or ask
ing a professor addressing
a literary society how liter
ature would be served by
reading a paper on the inn
morality of the Popes.
"1t's a truism that freedom
from hate always brings the
individual happiness, says
DR.. Clinchy, and then he con-
cludes: Science has hurdled
all the boundaries and made
this planet a single home for
a single interdependent fam
lily. Whether we like it or not,
there is only one family for
the world - the family Of
man."

who pleaded guilty to two charges
before Associate Judge Neil C..

serve five years in the Maryland

c. Melvin Right, of Oakland.
Rollyson had a record of prison
terms in Maryland, West Virginia
and other states. In passing SEN

it plain that those coming before
him charged with breaking and en-

no leniency from him. He declared
there would be sentences await

Written by Wellington j. Griffith Jr, he told of pick

The study showed that half of the high school stu

They favored egazed overlapping and the third degree
They thought that censorship of books movies radio

Forty-one percent believed should cancel freedom
of the Thyour percent favored denying free speech
to certain people Twentsix percent would allow

Mr. Griffith felt these figures pointed to frightening
failure the part of adults Said he: 1--WE have forgotten
to the lesson that the and women who founded
our nation knew WE'LL Freedom, valuable pos

each generation Always freedom is but generation from

GrantSvil1e Bank
To Increase Interest
Rate to 3 Percent

Effective October l, all savings
deposits in The First State Bank
of Grantsville, will earn interest
at the rate of percent per annum,
payable semi-annually.
Announcement to this effect was
sent to all savings depositors and
stockholders of the bank by Joseph
F. Fahey, cashier.
In letter to these depositOrS
and stockholders Mr., Fahey said
as result of study of the banks
costs during 1856 some economies
had been effected; each depart
ment had been placed by proper
charges for services rendered, on
a self sustaining basis, and this
combined with the higher returns
from U. S. Government bonds had
enabled the bank to offer this in
crease.
Boards of Directors of both the
First National Bank and Garrett
National Bank in Oakland were
meeting today to discuss the inter-
est question. At present both Oak
land banks pay 2 percent interest
on savings accounts.
