From the time she took over

held undisputed control, head

Our CFU Vice-President,
bro. Math Kovacevich of Los

and the top position on this
side of the border.
A Great Performance
The third place tenant in
this select group is another
Canadian, bro. Michael Mia
tovich Of Toronto, who in
creased his score by 107
points during the month
a remarkable performance.
Bro. Franjo Rudar of Chi
cago did almost as well with
an increase of 95 points to
place him in fourth position.
incidentally, we received
another batch of applications
totaling 81 points which he
had written in the first few
days Of the month. Those 81
points would have placed him
in second place, just behind
sister Markusic and well
ahead of bro. Kovacevich had

position of leadership de-
spite the obstacles of limit
ed pOtentialities in his To-
Gale.
Another Canadian, bro. Au-
gust Herceg, also of Schu-

main in the very forefront of
this thrilling contest and has
taken firm hold of the sixth
slot.
George Balich of Indiana
Harbor, Ind, found" 81
points during the course of
the month to assure him 7th
place while Michael Batch of
Johnstown, Pa, firmly en-
trenched himself in the 9th
niche.
Mike Golub of Farrell, Pa,
increased his previ o u S

We see then that in new
member count August rep
resents a firm continuation
of increased underwriting
from the slight drop of May
and April. In fact, only
March and February show
ed better results and if the
trend keeps up we shall
surpass even them.
A close perusal of the New
Insurance column will con-
firm the happy fact that in
this category August was in
deed the best month out of
the eight. The $454,8 300 new
coverage placed stands as the
undisputed record thus far.
If, therefore, we've all been
elated before we certainly
have reason to be even more
jubilant now.
Honor Roll Growing
There is a tendency in cer-
tain quarters to minimize and
expect more.
But we personally say, in
all humility and sincerity,
that our campaigners are per-
forming miracles and deserve
the plaudits of over 100000
members for a job well done.
We closely follow the re-
cruiting efforts Of other or
ganizations and are but that
much more convinced that
our campaigners are frater-
nalism's peerless exponents.
Those that doubt us need but
compare these facts and fig
ures with the recruiting ef-
forts of others. BY any yard
stick of measurement our
dedicated fieldmen are the
elite of their kind.
The list of producers who
have earned so or more
campaign points-our Hon.

This represents an increase
of Is during the month.

John Kovach Man Of The Hour

CLEVELAND, Ohio =
Earlier this year the Cleve-
land Croatian community ex-
perienced an elation that was
unmatched in recent years
when it learned Of the sur
prising Primary Election VIC
tory of John Kovach, promi-
nent Cleveland CF'U member
and former Secretary of the
CFU Sick Benefit Depart
ment.
Brother Kovach was not
conceded to have a great
chance for victory in the field
of almost $50 candidates for
the nomination in view of the
fact that he had no formal en-
dorsement from the organiza-
ton under whose banner he
was seeking the nomination
for State Representative. Nor
did he have any newspaper
support.
But when the votes were
finally tailed on Election
night his victory surprised
many old-time politicos and
gave our local people q
chance to stick out their
chests with pride.
The situation will be a trifle
more favorable to brother Ko-
vach's candidacy in the Gen
eral elections coming up in
November, but brother Ko-
vach and his friends realize
that they will have to wage
a very active campaign to win
one of the 18 seats in the
General Assembly for him.
Support Snowballing
One of the greatest prob
lens facing these friends of
John Kovach is that of funds.
Any election contest is a
costly affair in these days of
high printing and advertising
costs, and since we do not
have an "angel' among our
people who could make a hef-
ty contribution to brother Ko.
vach's campaign fund he must
look to his friends for the
help that he needs.
These friends are now
rallying to his support and
this is best evidenced by the
fact that a Committee has
been formed to help in con-
Quoting the election cam
paign.
One of the first acts of the
Committee in charge was to
announce plans for a huge
testimonial cele b r a ii o. n in
brother Kovach's honor for
Sunday, September 18th.
This affair is intended not
only as a testimonial to bro
ther Kovach, for whom the
local people have the highest
regard, but it is intended as
we'll as a fund-raiser and all
proceeds from the affair will
be used toward the November
election campaign.
All-Day Celebration
The Testimonial affair on
Sunday, September 14th, will
be an all-day celebration in
the Croatian Liberty Home in
Collinwood. There will be a
concert program in the after
noon and dancing in the eve
ming.
