BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The
last Tamburitza Dance, spon-

of Lodge SIG and Nest 1S5,
was a great success. 1t was
like old times, with the hall
packed at $50 pm. and ev-
eryone merry, singing and
dancing,
The Kolo Club put on a
one hour show of dancing
kolos, tangos and various
other dances and sang a
few Croatian songs. Those
of the audience were so
happy to see their children
and grandchildren perform
in native costumes that
many were in tears.
All evening we could hear
them remark: "Why didn't we
do this 25 or 80 years ago."
We wish to thank all those
who were in attendance for
their kind support.
The Milan Banat Tambur-
itza Orchestra also deserves
much praise, for without
/ them our activities would be
impossible.
They also helped teach us
the various k olos as time
went by. They are the "Kolc

1t is with sincere sorrow that

In June sis. Topol attended
our regular monthly meeting
and obviously felt in good
health. However, only three
days later she reported sick
and on July II we received
the sad news that she had
passed away, in spite of the
careful concern of her fam
lily and physician.
The earthly remains of sis.
Topol were viewed by numer-
Gus friends and relatives at
the Lovrencic- stephens Cha
pei. There were many offer
ings for Mass and floral tri-
butes, among which were
flowers and a mass offering
from Lodge 29.
On the morning OF July
20, a Requiem Mass was
served in St. Nicholas

was assisted by Rev. Albert

The expert sales force
could act as a link between
the rank and file, and the
executive policy making
group of the Croatian Fra

They would be in a position
to tran smi t information
downward to members and
lodges on the policies and
plans of the organization, and
to gather information and
opinions at lower levels and
present them to the policy

This would certainly give
the Executive Board a finger

harmony and obtaining a
wealth of information and

The most desirable and

Dear bro. BrklCh: -
l have been stationed at an
isolated early warning station
along the northern borders of
Alaska for six months. Be-
cause of your generosity, |
have, during this time, re-
ceived copies of the "Zajedni-

During recent weeks, l have
read with interest the various
articles appearing in the "za-
jednicar" concerning the pre-
servation or increase of men,
bership levels in the Croa-
tan Fraternal Union; more
specifically, the wisdom of
hiring Field Men.
Some of these articles
have shown confusion be-
tween ends and means. OPP
ponents of the Field Men"
approach have looked to
the attractiveness of Fra
ternalism as an inducement
for prospective members to
join our organization.
Actually Fraternalism S
only one of several ends of
membership and is not a
means in itself of gaining new
members. A sales force of
some sort is the means where
by we can attract new mem
bers. We must keep this dis
tinction before us when dis
cussing this matter.
Sound CFU - Or Else
The Croatian Fraternal
Union must be looked upon as
being essentially a business
enterprise operating along
business lines. Our organiza.
