A Memorable Journey

"A McI1OrdDlO Journey
With this writing, I con-
clude the series Of articles on
our trip covering 5 thousand
miles.
The many heart-warming
experiences, pleasant contacts
with our membership, and the
cordial conversations, will re-
main in our memories as long
as we live.
Any unintentional omis-

will, l trust, be forgiven by

One such omission in the
description of the two-day

am pleased to correct at this

Home Office Doesn't Like To Delay Payments
Change Of Benefciares Of importance To Every Member
PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH - We are
very pleased to note that our
members are making chan
ges of beneficiaries on their
certificates, which become
necessary due to the death of
a presently listed beneficiary
or other valid reasons.
This is a very important
item for every member be-
cause it greatly helps the
Home Office to expedite
the payment of death
claims.
We all know that the mon
ey is vitally needed by the
family to pay funeral expen-
ses, and any other bills for
that matter, but if our files
are not complete, then the
payment is withheld until
such files are complete, which
in many cases takes months
and even years.

BY Joseph Bella
- Supreme Secretary :

Thus, the Home Office is
compelled to file unpaid
claims, which creates addi-
tional work for our clerical
staff and also causes hard
ship with the. family of the
deceased.
Expediting Payments
Therefore, in order to a.
void such situations as much
as possible, we shall outline a
few helpful procedures for
your future guidance.
To begin with, all deaths
should be reported to the
Home Office Immediately and
the Lodge must submit the
following:
1. Report Of death form
properly completed and
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-09-03

signed. =
2. Certificate of death from
the proper authorities. I
3. Certificate of deceased
member. J
4. A bill from the unders
taker if the deceased designap
ted any portion of his insuEs
ance for funeral expenses. !;
When the four items listed
above are received by tho
Home Office, all death claima
are then paid to the propeQ
persons in a matter of a fevR
days.
Please Remember This
Every member is urged ID
change beneficiaries immedh
ately if any present benefich
aries passed away. !
Otherwise, we shall be Obj
ligated to request a family
tree and the payment would
be made according to the laws
of the State where the mems
ber resided, which might noe
have been the wishes of tho
deceased. !
A member cannot desig- !
nate more than $4,000 for
funeral expenses and $500
for q monument. In the
State of Illinois, only $500
may be designated for fun
eral and nothing for a mon
ument. !
One final note: - Please
expedite all change of bene-
ficiary requests Immediately,
since any delay might prove
embarrassing to the lodge and
an injustice to the member
and new beneficiary.

Minox Private Eye, a special
model with low-reflectance -

Optically and mechanically
identical to the standard
chrome Minox, the Privata
Eye is equipped with all diah

finish makes it virtually inviss

Tact Of A Diplomat

Tom naturally has encoun-
tered many difficulties during
his tour of South East Asia,
but he has overcome them
with the tact of a diplomat.
One instance was when he
was in Laos. Athletes there
knew very little about track
and field. Tom had decided to
get them started on the pole
vault, but was told that there
was not a single pole vault
pole in the country.
So Tom hit upon this
idea. He stole" some SOL
diers and together went
deep into the jungles and
he finally got them fine
poles cut out from a bam-
boo forest.
Laos did not have a track
before Toms arrival, but they
had one soon after he made
his debut there. With the help
of 500 troopers Tom built for
them a track.
While there Tom also or
ganized the first track and
field meet, which was an
overwhelming success. And
to encourage the athletes Tom
himself did some vaulting.
Farewell To Mr.. Tom
And before he left Laos he
got a pleasant surprise when
an honor guard of 1,5O0
troopers smartly lined up at
the airport to give Mr.. Tom
a rousing send-off.
Tom was further honored
when he was made a Captain
in the Paratroop Division, be-
ing decorated by the Minis
ter OF Defense himself.
There were times when
Tom had to coach athletes
who could not understand a
word Of English. But al
ways giving them a pleas
ant smile, encouragement
and gesticulating, he over
came such situations with
flying colors.
Tom has always made it
a point to taste all the Ori-
entail dishes, ranging from the
spicy curry to sharks fin
soup.
Toms motto concerning
the food out here is "any-
thing goes even if he had to
face the prospect Of being i'll
for a few days.
Perhaps Toms outstanding
work out here has been his
great help towards the found
ing Of the Asian Track and
Field Association.
Has Way With People
He was one of the founder
members of the Association
which held it's inaugural
meeting in Tokyo during the
Third Asian Games in May.
Tom was in Tokyo as head
coach of the Federation of
Malaya's track and field con-
tingent to the Asian Games.

Flood Is Devastating
This section of Colorado
abounds with the beauties Of
nature, which our people
wished to show us.
The parents of Clara kal-
cevich, the venerable Franjo
and his wife Anna, served us
with a delicious breakfast at
dawn, before our departure
from Denver, for which we
take this means to express
our gratitude and thanks.
We continued our trip
through the cattle range sec
tions Of Colorado for Nebras-
ka. The next day, about noon,
we stopped in Omaha, where
VIC have three lodges. talked
by telephone with the lodge
officers who were at home.
We continued across
Iowa for Des PLANES, ILL
nois, and the grounds Of the
Children's Home of the
CrOatian Fraternal Union,
J where the great annual pic
mic was held on the Fourth
of July.
In Iowa, we witnessed a
highly damaging flood, in the
town of Atlantic. A cloud
burst area some twenty miles
above Atlantic caused the ri
yer to rise rapidly, inundat-
ing the surrounding areas,
with the result that about
twenty persons lost their
lives.
Very frequently we read
about sudden floods, but this
is the first time in our lives
that we saw and were con-
vinced that water is, indeed,
a good servant, but can be a
cruel and unmerciful master.
We stopped in Des Moines,
and contacted any lodge Off
GERS as we could reach by tel
ephone, and then visited Jo-
liet, stopping for a short visit
in the company of brother
Verovich, with sister Mary
Plese, the widow of former
supreme officer and longtime
supreme office employe, the
late brother Joseph Plese.
At Children's Home
In Des PLANES, at the an
nual Children's Home picnic,
l participated in the program
and greeted the throngs of
people present in the name of
the entire membership of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
On the Children Home
grounds we met the greatest
number Of our members to
congregate in one place, and
what I can say for our Chi
cago and vicinity members,
with whom 1 talked at the
Children's Home picnic, I can
also say for all Of our men,
bers with whom l came in
contact during our five-thou-
sand-mile trip, that we were
:received warmly everywhere,
and that we hear, with very
few exceptions, only the nj
cest words about our Society.
Just about the incest part
Of the program at the Chill
dren's Home picnic was the
appearance of members Of
Junior Order Nest No. SIS, of
Cleveland, Ohio, under the
leadership of hard working
sister Anna Rescic.
Not only did our good Gle
velanders bear the expense
for the transportation of
these talented young people,
but they even collected among
themselves $215.OO, which
was presented as a gift to the
Children's Home, with an ap-
propriate speech by the pres
ident of Lodge II "St. Mich
olas'', of Cleveland, the high

49, law O. Awe i
The pump-house and the
pumps are still there, al
though since the closing Of the
mines, pumping only enough
to supply the Company's pow
er-plant which furnishes pow
cr and lights here in neighbor-
ing towns.
During the drilling for
this water, it appears that
the company struck into
this original spring of the
Pony Express, because the
spring stopped flowing.
The sight from under the
rocks where originally the wa
ter was flowing is there, quite
we'll preserved, and can be
easily inspected and tells the
story of how the name Rock
Springs originated.
Unique Burial Setup
Another thing of great sig
nificance for our members in
Rock Springs, and which |
deem worthy Of mention, is
this:
Our lodges there have each
purchased a separate plot Of
ground in the local cemetery
for the burial of their own
members exclusively.
We were thus able to see
a separately fenced in Sec
ton already filled with the
graves Of deceased men,
bers of Lodge 374, as well
as a recently purchased
similar section, neatly
walled, with a stone cruci-
fix in its center, with an
inscription showing that
this is the burial place of
Lodge No. 374 "Gospa Ro-
zariia".
With the exception of a few
family mausoleums, most of
our deceased members there
are laid to rest in these sepa-
rate sections of the local GEM
etery, which we believe to be
highly praiseWorthy, and
which We have not yet seen
anywhere in the United States
or Canada.
Denver A Great City
We were told, if we start
for Denver, Colorado, early in
the morning, that we would
see, along the highway
through Wyoming, en- tir e
herds of antelopes.
We left early in the morn
ing, but had no luck. We
drove over 250 miles through
Wyoming, mostly over level
terrain, and all we saw were
numerous signs calling atten-
ton to some important hap
pening or other during the
westward migration Of the
covered wagon days.
AS soon as we crossed the
state line from Wyoming to
Colorado, we again found our
selves in mountain country.
The remainder of the trip to
Denver was very interesting.

do, is a metropolis, no differ
ent from other large cities
throughout the east, with in
dustrial shops and mills in
the suburbs of the city, and
large office and store build
ings in it's center.
In the evening, we had
a meeting with the men,
bers of our old Lodge No.

greeted and hOnOred with
dinner by brother Matthew
