Recreation Park, 1925 So.
Budlong Avenue.
At this annual fete we will
have a very cultural program
and dancing to different we'll
known orchestras.
| 1t is not our intention at
this time, nor docs the 81"
have the space to list here all
the donors, but we do feel it
necessary to mention that our
Balkan Cavaliers promised to
play on that occasion for
nothing, donating their servi-
ces.
We feel that in this man.
ner - through voluntary con-
tributions - we could raise
between three and four thou
sand dollars for the Fund.
| At this same meeting a pro-
visional committee of five
persons was elected, whose
duty it shall be to contact all
of our members, as well as
our businessmen, for contri-
buttons and donations toward
the Picnic and the Building
Fund.
The elected members of
this committee are: Mrs.
Mary Toplovich, Ivan Ri
mac, Mike DOmitrovich,
Mike Markovich and Ivan
Yankovich. The meeting of
the Corporation gave this
committee full power to
represent it in asking for
donations.
Brothers and Sisters. For
many years our corporation
that is, our Lodge "Zora" No.
351 - has been working to-
ward the aim of building a
larger Home.
The constant insurge of
new members in our Lodge
and the absolute need for
larger quarters for member
ship meetings and affairs, be-
speaks the necessity for such
a Home as we'll as do the
needs of our national institu-
tions, such as school, church.

So if any of you are con-
tacted by the above named in
dividuals for this purpose,

MennOnites Take Action For Expansion
Of lntegrated Church In Chicago Area

Representatives of the General Con-
terence Mennonite church, meeting in
North Newton, Kansas, during the
first week of December, voted to con-
tlnue and enlarge the work of their
racially-integrated church in Chi
cago. This church, the Woodlawn
Mennonite church on Chicago's south
side is one of the city's two churches
with an interracial ministry, as well
as an interracial membership. Delton
Franz and Vincent Harding serve as
ministers of the Woodlawn church.
Established nine years ago by the
faculty and students at Mennonite
Biblical seminary, the church is now
being transferred to the sponsorship
of the Conferences Board of Missions
because the seminary is moving to
Elkhart, Indiana.
An apartment building near the
church will be bought to house the
team of workers that the Mennonites
viii sent to work and live in the
Woodlawn negro community. Mem
bership in the church will continue to
be open to people of all races.
Holding that Christians have an OBJ
legation to make peace in all areas
of tension, racial or otherwise, the
General Conference Mennonites have
long supported community service
project in the negro community of
North Gulfport, Mississippi. Other
similar ventures are being planned
for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and

workers reduce the value Of your
savings and life insurance.
The Vicious Spiral
The Union demand is always
for higher wages or shorter
hours Employers are willing to
grant increases so long as pro-
duction is being increased. but
otherwise such raises are just like
printing press money and are
followed by rise in the prices OF
consumer goods. Increased prices
are soon met by another demand
FOR an increase in wages. and the
SPIRAL goes round and round. The
vicious circle continues: Incfeas-
ed wages. increased costs of pro-
ductlon. increased prices, then in
crea$ed wages This will go on I'M
I'll the consumer ceases to buy
and We have unemployment and

This gradual increase in prices

the dollar and Of your savings de-
posts and life insurance. This
situation is going on at the pre-
sent time. and unless it is con

ton with tighter money. We
should all encourage the Board in
its effort to protect the dollar, our
