ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-08-06
With Best Wishes

THE HOME OFFICE personnel of the
Croatian Fraternal Union bade fond
farewell Thursday, July 81, 1858, to two
very popular veterans of it's Clerical Staff,
Mato Bosiljevac, Etpa and Mato Vrkliai
(Verklin), Pittsburgh
Eligible to retire, bro. Bosiljevac spent
36 years in the service of the Society, bro.
Vrkljan % years tending to this and that
chore in the Home Office.
Gone - but not forgotten!
What bros. Bosil jevac and VrkIjan
came to see during their years at the Home
Office would require reams of space to de-
tail for the sake of posterity.
When these veterans first arrived on
the Home Office scene - bro. Bosilj jevac in
1917, bro. Vrkljan, in 1919 - the Croatian
Fraternal Union of those days was COM
prised Of less than 10000 adult members,
just $967, in assets, and $3O,393 900
representing insurance in force
And they were again on the scene as
the Society went through the throes of the
horrendous Depression of the 1905 and
World War II and rolled on to become one
of the greatest fraternal orders on earth.
Today, mellowed by age, bros. Bosilie-
vac and Vrkljan can be proud of their years
as members of the Home Office Clerical
Staff; even prouder of their Society.
Memories are made of this.

taking as representing potentially, the
most wonderful thing that has ever come to
pass in the lives of our people on the North
American Continent.
We hope he's right in the end.
Which he will be if he maintains his en-
thusiasm for the Foundation.
0 While we have never had the plea
sure of meeting the man personally, we
know enough about bro. Miscovich's back
ground to set him up as a unique parsonage.
Born March 7, 1918, in Fiat, Alaska,
bro. Miscovich did not become a member
of the Croatian Fraternal Union until the
Spring of this year. And why not? Simply
because - in his extensive travels as gold
miner and consulting engineer no one
stopped him long enough to acquaint him
with the Society.
This we can understand, for the story
is as old as the CFU itself.
Many are they who are eligible to affi-
late with the Croatian Fraternal Union, but
few are those willing to talk turkey" to the
prospects in their midst.
. We might say that bro. Miscovich is,
In truth a self-made man of means.
He grew up in Alaska, attending local
schools and working during the summer
months on breaking mining operations
conducted by his father and brothers.
Although he never could find the time
to absorb thorough education - the type
he sees pregnant in the Croatian Fraternal
Union Scholarship Foundation, Inc, move
ment - bro. Miscovich nonetheless inven-
ted what is known the world over today as
''The Intelligiant," an automatic sluicing
machine used in mining operations which
only few years ago defied the finest en-
gineers on the face of the earth.
Not at all bad for a man who, by his
own admission, is of average education but
always more than willing = even at the age
Of 40 years - to learn more.
Small wonder that he is heart and soul
behind the Society's Scholarship Founda-
ton, Inc, and anxious to do everything in
his power to see that our younger people
get real chance in life by going into the
world thoroughly educated.
Even smaller the wonder that we are
proud of him as a CFU member.

What brought this silly business to
mind was the acrimonius debate last week
in the halls Of Congress on the question of
granting pensions to ex-Presidents of the
United States.
Said one Congressman: IF Mr.. Truman
wants to continue his cheap, demagogic
politics, let him do it at his own expense
and not at the expense of the taxpayers"
Said another: Both living ex-Presidents
are financially better off than our Federal
Government is." Argued a third: Neither
Mr.. Truman nor Mr.. Hoover is starving"
And so on, and on.
Such is the venom Of politics.
Let us remember this the next time we
feel the urge to slap one Of our kind around.

ROTARY WEEK

During these times when many
headlines are concerned with conflict
between men and nations resulting
from ignorance and misunderstand-
ing, it is refreshing to reflect upon
the many entries on the plus side
OF the ledger - not the least of which
is the work being done by The Rotary
Foundation of Rotary International.
This week, Rotary clubs around the
world in ITO countries and geographic
cal regions are observing The Rotary
Foundation Week"
The Rotary Foundation, a non
profit organization supported through
voluntary contributions of Rotarians
and nOn-RotarianS, was established to
foster tangible and effective projects
to further understanding and friendly
relations between the peoples of diff
ferent nations. This objective includes
the promotion of Rotary Foundation
tellowShips for Advanced Study.
Since l941, l,O75 young men and
women from 90 countries have been
awarded tellOwShipS for one academic
year OF graduate study in another
country through the Rotary Founda-
ton Fellowship program. The list of
major fields of study selected by
these young people is impressively
tuned TO an era Of unprecedented
chronological and scientific achieve
ment. The Influence OF these Fellows
Is unreasonable, as is the impact OF
their social and academic activities :.
in the countries they visit and at home.
Interviewing subtly and conspicuous
~, consciously and unconsciously -
their personal threads of friendship
and understanding are enriching the
arts, sciences, and their chosen pro-
fesSions.
The Rotay Foundation is sensitiv.
to the needs of our time. 1t provides
tested methods, designed to create
and release the radiation of world
wide friendship. Few will glow.

A CHUNK OF MONEY

Local Methodists have plenty cut out for them
in trying to raise the $12SOO quota in the statewide
campaign to raise . million bucks for education.
But knowing Tabor City's people it will surprise
me only if the quota is not met
Although MethodstS doing the asking they
aren't restricting it to their clan Others have
as much interest in North Cardinals educational
facilities and they will help bear the burden of the
movement.
The fact that both colleges, in Fayetteville
and one in Rocky Mount, will be in to
speak should make the moneyraiSing pleasant task.
