Brighton Lodge Dues
Up 10 Cents Starting
With Jan. 4th Meeting

NEW BRIGHTON, Pa. -
All members Of "Beaverites'
Lodge 738 are advised that
beginning with Jan. 1, 1859,
their monthly Lodge dues
will be- increased from 10 to
20 cents.
The increase, made neces-
sary by the economic situa-
ton in the nation, was agreed
on during the Lodges Annual
Meeting Of Dec. Z, 1858. The
vote was unanimous.
Not once since the or
ganization of the Lodge
back in 1880 have the
members ever been asked
to increase their Lodge
dues. There were many rea-
sons for this.
For one, the great majori-
ty Of the Lodge members OF
those days were quite young
and deaths were extremely
few and far between. For a.
mother, the Lodge was always
fortunate years ago in com.
ing up with social events
which were money makers.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - One
of the facets probable within
a fraternal organization such
as ours and warmly accepted
by the membership when they
make an appearance is that
of promoting cultural activi-
ties within it's ranks.
A section of the Society's
constitution states: ITO pro-
mote national, social, intellec-
tual and moral sentiments a.
mong it's members, and to en-
courage it's members to be-
come citizens Of the United
States and Canada"
The reader has often seen
the term culture" used in
connection with some frater-
nal activities. The definition
of culture in it's broadest
sense is that which disting-
uishes civilized peoples from
savages.
The Croatians as one of
the Earth's smaller nations
have had their culture, but
it wasn't too well known a.
Romance language speak
ing countries.
Hence the promotion of this
sentiment and others too
within the purpose Of our So
ciety lest we assume that our
founding fathers came only
to wrest from and add moth
ing to the new homeland, the
United States or Canada, as
the case may be.
We think that it is a mark
of credence rather than of
degradation to be ethnically
+, identified. Those who accept
this challenge do so as with
a heritage and as an obliga-
ton.

that it serves as the only new
member recruiting force.
Sad will be the day when
we too will have to admit the
disappearance of this inherent
devotion and depend on a
strictly "for pay" production
force.
Replacing All Losses
We are thus still progress
ing, and very satisfactorily
so, in a strictly fraternal
fashion.
We are not only replacing
our annual losses but register
ing modest net gains Of ap-
proximately 1000 per year.
We, for one, would rather
have it this way, a cohe-
sive, truly fraternal family
of 10000 members than
to skyrocket in numerical
strength at the cost of an
iota of characteristic fra
ternal trappings.
! And, what then is the secret
of our continued progress,
progress without the slightest
deviation from the fraternal
approach.
| AS we've mentioned before
lit is that inherent love Of Or
ganization. Examples of it
can be cited by the thousands
every day of the week. Let
us recount here but a few OF

Republic Members In
Joyous Holiday Party

REPUBLIC, Pa. - Since
the passing of bro. Pecerecic,
who let us hold our CFU
Lodge 528 meetings in his
hall, we were all wondering
where to hold our future ses-
sions.
But, luck was with us and
we will be holding our meet
ings the usual Sunday, same
time, at the Republic Legion
Home.
The December. IA meet was
indeed a success with about
40 members present. The
same officers were asked to
carry on the affairs of the
Lodge in 1859.
After the business ses-
sions were completed, ev-
eryone enjoyed a social
hour with lunch and re-
freshments in the Central
Restaurant, which is oper-
ated by the Depcrymski's.
| We sang Croatian and
American Christmas carols
and it was really one Of the
incest affairs witnessed by
the members for a long time.
No Christmas Party was
held for Nest 189, due to the
fact that no mothers showed
up to make plans.
The candy, however, was
distributed to the nest mem
bers by the undersigned at
the Central Restaurant on
Tuesday evening, December
23rd.

Letters From Campaigners Speak Volumes For The Society

a member Of Los Angeles
Lodge 1T, Bozica Ruzic,
states-"I shall make every
attempt to sign up more new
members. / would be the hap
piest person on earth were I
able to reach the goal for the
trip. However, trip or no trip,
award or no award, I have,
and will always continue to
work for our beloved organi-
zation, our mother, CFU."
Parties Cost Money
Another proof Of fidelity to
the Society and its precepts
has been amply chronicled in
the activity-crowded issues OF
our Official Organ particular
ly during this great holiday
season.
Announcements of Christ
mas Parties for our juniors
took up the lions share Of
space for the past month and
a half.
We doubt that d single jun
ior nest of the 500 that COM
prise the department failed to
fete it's members. No other or
ganization has so completely,
SO overwhelmingly, barred its
heart to children.
The preparation for and
conduct of these Christmas
Parties necessitated weeks,
perhaps months, of tedious
planning and physical eXer-
ton. Collectively, tens of
thousands of dollars were
spent.
The remarkable thing a.
bout it is that headquarters
contributed no financial back
ing with the exception of the
cost of a few thousand Xmas
Carol books.
Local lodges, in some cases,
contributed tn e necessary
funds but, in the main, the
burden of accumulating these
! funds rested on the shoulders
of the individual nest man
ager. Many ingenious fund
raising ideas were used and
these alone are an epic in ini-
tiative and self-sacrifice en-
{ gendered by love of organiza-
ton.
In Spirit of Season
We want to take this op-
portunity to commend and
thank our devoted nest man
ayers and all those others
who in any way contributed
to this superb saga of Xmas
Spirit.
Your Society received a
strong fraternal fillip for
| which it is most thankful and
appreciative.
In a word then, this is the
, secret of the CFU recruiting
5 marvels too. AS long as such
a spirit permeates our ranks

Chicago Lodges
Plan Celebration
Midwest Salute
To CFU Birthday

CHICAGO - The Central
Committee Lodges of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union in Chi
cago and vicinity will cele-
brate the 65th Anniversary of |
the founding of the CF'U on
August %, 1859.
The scene of the celebra-
ton will be the Children's
Home grounds in Des PLANES.
To assure a successful Gel
ebration, plans are already be-
ing formulated and it is i'm
portant that we have the CO
operation of each and every
lodge.
Those of our lodges
throughout m e t o politan
Chicago and nearby areas,
who as yet are not repre-
sented in the Central Com
mittee, are urged to elect
their representatives and
thus take an active part in
the celebration.
The 65th Anniversary is an
important milestone in the
proud and colorful history of
the Croatian FraternaI Union
and serves as a tribute to all
of our pioneers and members
who have helped to make the
CFU the greatest such frater-
nal society not only on the
North American Continent,
but on the face of the globe,
as we'll.
The lodges of Chicago and
vicinity are proud that they
have, in the past, contributed
to the growth and develop
ment of the CFU and the
Children's Home.
The Central Committee is
comprised of Lodges Is, "a
80, 80, 40, SO, 81, 148, 1853,
ia, 2O2, 228, 278, 778, and
7S5.
We feel, however, that we
will add many more lodges to
our roster in the very near
future.
We urge all readers of the
Zajednicar to watch these col
unns for future details con.
corning the, celebration.
! We are appealing to the
many clubs, societies and or.
ganizations throughout the
Midwest to refrain from
scheduling an affair for the
above date. We will be extend.
ling to all of them a cordial in.
vitation to join us for the fes'
tivities on August %.

ARMAND Price
Continues Hiqher

The price Of farmland is con-
tinuing its general upward trend
and demand for farmland re-
mains strong, despite the drops
in farm income.
Charles r. Pugh, farm man.
agement specialist tor the N. C.
Agricultural Extension Service
points out that in the l2-month
period ending November /, 1857,
the value of farm land in North
Carolina was up 5 per cent. The
national average for this period
was even higher-8 per cent.
Pugh says the market prices
of farm real estate ere expected
to advance further in 1858, al
though the increase may be a
little less than in 1857. More
selective screening Of loan ap-
pl;cations for farm mortgages
may act as a brake. But other
factors responsible for the rise
in values since 1854 are still
present and likely to continue
Among these arr demand for
land for nonfarm uses, govern
ment programs fHr agriculture
and the cost reductions that can
be realized by operating larger
farms.
Improved highways and the
stI ong desire of city people for
country living is likely to con-
tinue to dispense population and
industry into previously rural
areas, Pugh maintains. And there
appears to be little pros: ,ect that
the pressure to enlarge existing
farms will slacken in the next
few years, since thousands Of
commercial farms are still toe
small for the most efficient use
