Q On Aug. 80, 1858, and completely to
his surprise, bro. Kutuzovich was the CEN
ter of attraction during Reunion of the
Alumni of the Children's Home, young men
and women once under his care and now on
their prosperous own.
They came = these ever grateful grad
yates of Child City, CFU - from Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri to thank
him for helping make possible their sue
cesses in later life.
They thanked him for his guidance, his
understanding, patience and perseverance
during their days at the Children's Home in
Des PLANES = days some were to momen-
tarily resent, then pronounce as time went
by as the happiest hours of their lives.
And as token of their remembrance
and undying gratitude, they gave bro. Ku-
tuzovich an expensive, beautiful reclining
arm chair for his room at 1433 Oakwood
Avenue, Des PLANES, and wished him happi-
nees in his declining wears.
Truly wonderful gesture on the part
Of the Home Alumni members who were
able to turn out Aug 80, 1858, for that well
earned bow in the direction Of one of the
grand old men who helped make the CFU a
great institution.
Memories are made of this.

IN AUGUST 3Oth and

ON AUGUST Both and

privilege and pleasure of hav-

sent our Society at this
years Conference of the Fed
Grafton of Minnesota Lodges,
which was held in the Croa-
tian Home in So. St. Paul.
Combining some pleasure
with business with a few days
of vacation in the company
of my family and mother, our
first stop was in Detroit,
Michigan, to visit with friends
and members, and to see the
new and beautiful Croatian
Home of which we heard SO
much. And beautiful indeed
lit really is.
After a couple of leisure
days in the beautiful state
of Wisconsin, we arrived in
So. st. Paul on Friday eve
ming, Aug. 20, and we were
very graciously received by
bro. Anton f. Spraitz, Sec
retary of Lodge 316, and
his very hospitable wife.
AS is the custom of ou1
people, we were wined and
dined the entire evening q.
midst a discussion of the So.

The following day, we went
to the Croatian Home and

relatively isolated part of the
state had such a home to cal
their own, which, as I was

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER "a, 1858
New Foundation

ONCE OUR arrival on the CFU's editorial
- scene back in January of 1948 more
than decade ago, we have learned many
tricks of the public relations trade.
We know - for example - that mem
bers of the Croatian Fraternal Union will
support a worthy cause if same is treated
here in it's proper light, lie if we get to the
meat of the subject and sell it strictly on it's
own merits.
Which is precisely the sales pitch we
have been using in recent weeks while urg-
ing all-out membership support of the new,
history making Croatian Fraternal Union
Scholarship Foundation, Inc.
But how well we have succeeded along
the line remains to be SEEN
. In brief, we have covered the Foun-
dation to date in the following ways for the
edifcation of all members and friends of
the Croatian Fraternal Union:
u On July 16 1858 we published the
text of the Foundation Charter granted
June 27, 1858, by the Courts of Allegheny
County, Pa and at the same time listed the
names Of all Directors and Honorary Di-
rectors of the Foundation.
p On Sept 10, 1858, we by-lined an ar
ticle dealing with a meeting held Aug 8,
1858, by the Directors of the Foundation,
at which time they elected their official
family, adopted a Seal and Bylaws, and
discussed future moves
- On Sept II, 1858, we published the
Constitution and Bylaws of the Founda-
tion and - in the same issue - called at
tention to the fact that the Society's Su-
preme Board had the week previously trans
ferred the sum of S5,35O.OO to the funds of
of making Scholarship Awards.
X
Now we would appeal to every men,
Der of the Croatian Fraternal Union to come
to the support of the Scholarship Founda-
ton as best each can dollar-wise
No matter the amount, every contribu-
tion will be gratefully accepted.
However, those who can are urged to
contribute $4,000 and thus become men,
bers of the Scholarship Foundation, Inc,
under Article III of it's Constitution.
And receive a Certificate attesting to
membership in the Foundation.
But as we said - every contribution,
large or small, will find the Directors deep
ly indebted to the donor.
Kindly make your check or money order
payable to "CFU Scholarship Foundation,
Inc" (not simply to the Croatian Fraternal
Union) and forward to Foundation Treas

South America and head for
the United States before his
savings hit rock bottom.
His destination, California,

As he was preparing to
leave, his uncle, Jacob Vo-

for San Francisco.
So, they decided to travel
together. But between them
they had only enough money
for fourth-class passage.
It took their ship all of 80

more unpleasant by the fact
that their fourth-class accom-

able.

They were, however, fortu-

voyage to the States; the cap
tain of the ship happened to
be their kinsman, a Dalma-
tinac from Peljesac.
Well aware of the food they
were getting below, the good
captain managed time and a
