only such an amount as he de-
posted, plus interest, while in
the Society his loved ones
would receive the full amount
!! for which he was insured, re-
gardless of whether he lived
one month or 19 years after
taking out insurance with the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
One might say that he can
90 to the bank any time and
withdraw a part or all of the
amount deposited, if necessa-
ry.
Well, he can do that in the
Society as well; the cash va
lue of the certificate is always
available to the member upon
demand.
Our member can also OBJ
tain a loan against his insur-
ance at 4ce interest, and still
remain insured for the full a.
mount of his insurance.
Bow To Campaigners
Our annual statements tc
the various state insurance
departments in America are
different from those which
must be filed with the govern.
ment authorities at Ottawa
Canada, and with the insur'
ance departments of the va
'rious provinces in which oul
Society is licensed.
A comparison of the Soci'
ety's business in the States
and Canada is extremely in.
teresting, on which l will
write in the following issue of
the Zajednicar.
Credit for our signifi-
cant gains and successes in
the past year goes, first, to
our self-sacrificing workers
in the 1857 Membership
Campaign, equally from
those who were in the lead
in the number of points, to
those at the bottom of the
list, who enrolled even one
single member in the Jun
ior Order.
In the second place, a good
part of our successes and ad-
vancement in all branches Of
our business is credited to the
good relations existing be-
tween our lodge officers and
our membership and the Su-
preme Administration of the
Society.
Mutual trust and respect
are the leading and most i'm
portant condition and a
strong foundation for sue
cessful operation in the fu-
! ture.

| educational and cultural ac-
tivities.
Such an organizational ar
rangement would perm t
these activities to be integra-
ted within the overall bust
ness operations of the organi-
zation.
Such a program would Ger.
tainly increase the areas
where our prestige would
flourish. Furthermore, t h e
Croatian F'raternal U n o n
would be in a position to con-
tribute consistently, and in a
positive manner, to the So
phistication of the now often
times confused and scattered
body of knowledge concern
ing our heritage.
Also, it will offer the indi-
vidual member an opportuni-
ty to further perfect his ma
tural talents.
Aid Campaign Drives
The very people who will be
most attracted by and CO.
operate with such a program
are certain to become most
influential in furthering, over
the long term, the success of
the organization.
The desirability of sub
scribing to the general goal
and specific steps listed above
remains unquestionable in my
mind insofar as they alone
are concerned.
However, certain practi-
cal difficulties in the form
of economic and legal pro-
hibitions may exist. These
need not prove insuperable,
as an examination of the
progress of other nationali-
ty groups. in these areas
will tend to show.
I would, therefore, like to
suggest that the officials of
the Croatian Fraternal Union
convene a temporary commit
tee consisting Of leading
members of the organization,
representing various geogra-
phic areas, professions and
social groups, to study means
whereby we can expand our
cultural and educational ac-
tivities. t1 .-
The ultimate purpose e
should be to increase the at
tractiveness of membership
and give our campaigns for
new membership a vitality
that they justly need and de-
serve.

Society 0yercame Heavy 1857 Losses
To Emerge Bigger, Stronger Than Ever
Meaning OF Membership Campaigns Again
Evident In Reports To States Dominion
Continued On Page y

We had 1,075 deaths a
mong our members; 1852
adults and % juniors.
A total of 1,146 members
transferred from the Junior
to the Senior Order. We see,
therefore, that the Junior
Order more than made up our
losses by death in both de-
partments.
Losses in membership in
the Senior Order were greater
than gains by 336 members;
but in the Junior Order the
gains over losses were greater
by 1,196 members.
The losses in the adult
membership fall into several
categories. For instance, 317
members were lost during
the year who had no reserve
values on their certificates.
There were 200 members
whose reserve was exhausted,
u members withdrew volun-
tarily, and 625 members took
cash surrenders.
Endowment Experience
During the past year, there
were 408 members whose En-
dowment Certificates total
ing S349,00O.0O matured.
We were ready to pay this
amount of savings to our
members in 1857, but only
102 of these members chose
to receive their full endow-
ment.
The remaining 3O6 men,
bers took partial payment in
cash, and received paid-up in
surance totaling S383, ,267 for
the remaining portion, in ac-
cordance with options avail
able to them.
Therefore, the Society
did not lose on matured
Endowment Ger ificates,
but rather gained addition
al life insurance in the sum
of $34.267.O0.
We are now able fully to
realize the value of 2O-Year
Endowment Certificates in
the Croahan Fraternal Union.
This is nothing but a savings
account in the Society.
If our member deposited
the same sum which he pays
for dues monthly, in a bank,
at the end Of twenty years he
could withdraw approximate
ly the same sum with the
banks interest as he would
from the Society with divi-
dends.
But, in the event of his
death before the expiration Of

Runnerup, with 81 points
and II new members, was Ru-
dolph Karlovich. Bro. Rudy
held the position of Nest 81
manager in Anaconda, Mon

dable job. This year he again
holds that position and has
added that of Lodge "a Sec
retary. Each Of these units
now numbers over 400 men,
bers, so that he is our "cus-
todian" of over 800 members.
Number 8 man, with 80

veteran campaigner and
secretary of our huge Gle
veland Lodge SO. Fourth is
another Canadian, bro. JO-
seph Glavas of Sault Ste.

Lodge 919. Bro. Glavas
earned IS points.
In fifth position is bro.
Jack Jackovac of Youngs-
town with 63 points. Sixth is
that perennial paragon of re-
cruiting, last years top man,
bro. Ivan Babich of Aiquip-
pa with IS points. His score
will see many an upgrading
before the campaigns end.
Our Pacific Coast CFU Su-

the specific steps that coule
be undertaken to clearly es
tablish the scope and means
of implementing such a pro
gram.
Some are necessary compli
ments to each other; while
others are listed only to serve
as an alternate.
1. Direct financial assis
tance by the CF'U for expand
ing the Serbo-Croat area stu
dies that are now being car
ried out at several of oul
large universities.
2. Generous financial assis
tance to one or more of oul
young and promising mem
bers to attend one of these
institutions and specialize IL
area studies.
3. Affiliation with, or the
establishment of, an indie
pendent educational insti-
tuition on the college level
under the auspices of the
CFU.
Towards this end, we might
consider use of the Children's
! Home physical plant at Des
PLANES, Illinois, simultaneous
with the introduction of in
surance coverage to help de-
fray the cost of the higher
education.
4. Expansion of the print
ing facility at the home office
so as to permit it to publish
significant works, in book
form, on subjects identifiable
with our contributions to the
arts, sciences, government
business etc.
AS the mainstay Of this &C.
tivity, consideration should be
given to the publication of a
quarterly work that would
contain fiction and non-fiction
contributed by members and
| non-members.
Specialized Museum In.
5. Establishment OF a cen
trail agency to collect, identify
and display physical rem
nants of our heritage.
Most likely, this would take
the form of what is ordinar-
lily included within a special
lied museum.
6. Amendment of the By
Laws 50 as to expand the
membership of the Execu-
tive Board to include an in
dividual assigned the sole
responsibility of promoting

Gently enjoyed the opportuni-
ty of adding to the roster of
CFU Nest "a the names of
Florella and Glen Plovanich,
whose pictures accompany
this article.
They are the children of
Georgette and Vinko Plova-

both born in Canada, but
have been residing here for

CommitSse
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-02-12

there are TWO campAenerS
who did set a unique record.
The first of these, bro. Jo-
sip Prelac, manager of Nest
388 in Newton Falls, Ohio, a..
stounded us by sending in
enough new applications in
this one month to more than
double his nests membership.
Nest 388 was organized in
1927 and has had a rather un-
eventful though fraternally
faithful history wit h it's
modest membership roster
probably never exceeding one
score. On January 1 Of this
year, the beginning of the
current campaign, that nest
had exactly Is members. That
long standing status quo was
in for a spectacular change
however.
About the middle of the
month we received . nice
fat envelope from Newton
Falls. In it were 10 new
Term applications. This
was followed a few days la
ter by 6 more.
Nest 388 now is a fraternal
unit Of greatly increased i'm
portance. With 81 members
it is actually larger than its
parent unit - Lodge GA -
with but Is members.
The Man From Midvale
Another recruiting accom-
plishment worthy of note was
that turned in by bro. Dan
Corak, the young man with a
fraternal horn out in Mid
vale, Utah.
Bro. Corak doubles in brass
as manager of our Nest, 1913
and as secretary of Lodge
388. He is young in years but
is no novice in the fraternal
recruiting field.
His love and devotion for
his CFU has been tried and
proven. Though his end-of-
January point score stood
at 48, he had enriched his
Society by an even dozen
new members.
Fraternalism's pace setter
is on the march again! Our
Croatian Fraternal Union has
long been the spearhead and
the vanguard of that move
ment. It has been able to stay
in that position because you,
the members, have kept faith
with it.
Your zeal has made US the
envy of the fraternal world!
