The CFU And You In Simple Language

Certainly tn e conditions
which demanded it's establish
ment years ago no longer
exist; no longer pose a prob
lem to organizations like ours.
So, it is difficult to foresee
the future of our Children's
Home as it exists today.
However, we must give
thought to the future Of this
institution and do so without
prejudice. We must seek a So
luton to the problem with an
open mind.
And arrive at it during the
Croatian Fraternal Unions
10th Natl Quadrennial Con-
vention, which is to be held
in September of 1859 at De-
troit, Mich.
We would welcome your
thoughts along the line.

twenty-five years the Tam
buritzans have come up with
an entirely new production of
folk music, songs and dances.
The formal and underlying
theme of each of these pre-
sentations has been one in
which the music of the South
Slavs dominated the first por-
ton of the production, while
the second part consisted of
an imaginary musical journey
throughout the many nations
Of Europe.
This seasons program is
NO exception. The initial
part is devoted to such lit
tle-known nationalities as
the Croatians, Serbians,
Macedonians, Dalmatians,
Slovenes, and the Bosnians.
Indeed, a Tamburitzans
program is a historical lesson
put to music. 1t begins with
the exhilarating and joyous
traditions connected with the
annual harvest festivities of
the Croatian people. The
bright red embroidery on the
peasant women's costume is
breathtaking.
The songs and dances OF
the remaining South Slavic
groups follow. Agile mems
dances, sedate dances of the
women, ritual dances with
centuries of history behinc

resulted from constitutional

1909. The amendment actually
was compromise which followed
a bitter fight for higher tariffs and

they are only 30 per cent under
