aimed at arriving at ways and
means of attaining the Cam
paign Insurance Quota as
signed California (Zone ~ by
the Society's Home Office at
Pittsburgh - $400,000.00.
Bro. Kovacevich, the
Conference mine host t,
pointed out that to attain
the State Quota would re-
quire much work on the
part of Lodges and Nests
scattered throughout Cali
fornia and, in some instan-
ces, separated by many
hundreds of miles.
He also detailed the Cam
paign handicaps facing the
Southern California Lodges
and Nests, which are domi-
ciled in the vast, sprawling
Los Angeles Area and vici-
nifty.
But all agreed that the
$400,000.00 goal can be
reached in spite of these geo.
graphical handicaps.

SMOKE RUN, Pa. - The
members of CF'U Lodge 80
are hereby notified that the
next regular meeting will be
held on Sunday, April IA, in
stead of on our customary
Sunday after the 18th.
This decision was made at
our meeting held on March
II. Please keep the date in
mind when mailing dues.
We wish to mention the
fact that the attendance at
our lodge meetings has been
declining and now there are
only a few interested in our
affairs.
However, we find that
those who are not with us at
these meetings are the ones
who do the most complaining
about how our business is
run. For shame.

Buffalo 557 PLANNING
Public Salute May u
To Fifty.Year Members

BUFFALO, N. Y. The
regular Lodge 557 meeting
will take place the second
Sunday, April IA, at 2 pm.
The reason for this change
is that our regular meeting
falls on Easter Sunday, and
we feel that many of you
would prefer not to have your
Easter dinner hastened by at
tending a meeting. With this
gesture we plead with our
membership to attend this
meeting and get first hand
information as what is to take
place in the ensuing months.
Our first affair will take
place on the 26th day of
May, and on this special oc-
casion we will honor three
of our members who will
receive there so year pins
as members of the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
We also plan on having a
sumptuous meal of barbecued
lamb for our honored guests.
More on this at a later date.
Also, on the same program,
we will feature the famous re-
cording Tamburitzans better
known as the "Bisers".
We also wish to remind you
that our first picnic will be
held on July Z. Keep this date
in mind and also follow the
z for further information.
In closing, the Officers and
Stewards wish you all a Hap
py Easter.

today in an effort to save his

Discrimination

ROCHESTER,, ". Y, Nov.
18 tR.-Gov. Averell Hartman
today labeled discrimination in
employment as "the key factor
in keeping many families in a
low-income bracket"
He said this was the prelim-
mary finding of the State
Commission Against Discrimi-
nation in a study Of the rela-
tionship between discrimination
and low incomes.
The observation-disclosures in
come study is the first major
effort in this field by q public
agency, Gov. Hartman said in
a prepared speech at the seth
annual meeting Of the New
York State Welfare Confer
ence.
These studies show that
discrimination, not only in en-
ployment but particularly in
upgrading, is the key factor in
keeping many families in q low
income bracket. They point to
necessary remedial action by
both public and private agen-
cies," the Democratic Governor
said.
Sees tragic Paradox"
Gov. Hartman said it was "a
tragic paradox" that in the
midst of general prosperity in
the country Hundreds of thou
sands Of individuals and fam
lilies continue to have incomes
below the minimum standards
set for public assistance"
The existence Of poverty in
the Nation and State, Gov.
Hartman said. is an "anemia"
that weakens the general econ
omy and results in human deg
radiation and unhappiness.
In 1899 Gov. Hartman said,
II per cent Of the families and
unrelated individuals in the
State had incomes below public
assistance standards. The pre-
liminary figures Of q special
population survey Of the State
by the Federal Census Bureau
show that just as many are in
the sub-standard income cate
CORY now. when adjustments
are made for cost-of Living in
creases, Gov. Hartman re-
ported.
Hard Core Of Problem
In a study conducted by the
State mter-Departmental Com
mittee on Low Incomes, Gov.
Hartman said, it is reported
that of the more than 100000
individuals receiving public as
sistance this spring, so per cent
had been doing so for five years
or more. This represents the
hard core of our dependency
problem" the governor said.
Gov. Hartman said the dis
termination findings empha-
sized the need to:
/. Put an end to discrimina-
ton in apprenticeship pro-
grams. $500 "a

ayers and business executives
to promote equal opportunity
not only in hiring but also in
promotion.
"The material in the discrim-
nation studies has important
implications for the future pro-
grams of every welfare agency
in the State" the Governor de-
clared.
Gov. Hartman did not single
out any specific type Of discrim-
nation.
