doubt as to whether their SER

were known in advance through
their identity.
In spite of the statement issued
by the slate of five, and the
ether staunch segregation cand1-

there is hopes for the school
system in Little Rock with the
withdrawal of his candidacy for
a position on the school board
by Jimmy Karam, Main street
clothier, who has displayed
strong opposition to anything that
resembles deeency.

according to hi own admission,
he was asked to withdraw his
candidacy, by friend he did not

This is the statement issued by

I'VE believe in segreg ton. We
will not voluntarily integrate the
Little Rock pubic schools. We
will never initiate any action to
implement or expedite integra-

board is to preserve the stability

Lone NEGRO Meets
With Southern
Historians

NASHVILLE, Tenn-Dr. L. D.
Reddick of Alabama State college
was the lone Negro scholar who
met with some 400 white fellow
historians of the Southern Histori-
cal association t h t held
its oath annual convention in
Nashville, last week
Most of the sessions, including
the banquet, were held in the
downtown Hermitage hotel.
The various sessions date with a
wide variety of subjects on the
history of the south, ranging from
agriculture to politics. There was
one session devoted to the Negro
and it was so crowded that part
of the audience sat on the floo1
and overlooked into the outside
hall
At this meeting, DR.. August
Meier of Morgan State college
read a paper on Booker T..
Washington and the Negro law
yers"; DR.. Flint Kellog of Dick
inson college told of Oswald
Garrison Willard and the founding
of the NAACP" and DR. Reddick
analysed 1.-THE theology, Strategies
and Tactics of the NAACP, 1909
1855"
He pointed out that the NAAC
P from its founding had been a
conservative civil rights organiza-
ton that was based upon the Con-
stitution of the United States and
the Declaration of Independence.
But in different periods it lad
been looked upon by various or
carnations and the public as "ra-
dicar or "reactionary,' middle
class" or "racialist' according to
the times.
Today in some parts Of the
south, DR.. Reddick concluded, the
NAACP is feared or hated though
it is still striving for equality
through legal action, conferences
and publicity.
DR.. Howard K. Beale, Univer-
sitv of Wisconsin, was the critic
of the session and praised all Of
the papers warmly.

Miller said when he receives

He said the mandate might

concern to those who are en-
gagged in the Society's 1863

and endeavoring to win the

u Would you rather make
the trip ION your own?' Or
would you prefer to travel in
group style, as did those $50
CFU members who visited
Yugoslavia in 1856?
y During what part Of
1860 would you like to make
the overseas trip? i.

part for Europe via m
ocean liner, with: seven won
derful days at sea before
landing in France and pro-
ceeding, say, to Zagreb,
Croatia, via France, Swift
zerland and Italy?
~ Or would you rather
make the trip via the airlanes
in a matter Of hours from
New York to either London
or Paris and from there direct
to Zagreb or Belgrade?
s. Would someone accom-
pany you to Yugoslavia ? Hus-
band, wife, relative?

These caverns stretch over
an area Of more than seven

a fantastic conglomeration Of
immense halls and corridors

The maintenance of the
Children's Home called for an
expenditure of over $42, 900.
Payments from the National
Relief Fund to help our aged
members, and donations to
the American Red Cross, ETC.,
were in excess Of $4,000.
The activities of the De-
partment Of Sports and Edu-
cation cost over $26, 900, in
cluding the salary of the Dl-
rector of that Department,
and travelling expenses of va
rious officials attending
sports events.
Our annual financial state
ment shows in detail the ex-
penditure of even the smallest
amount, for any purpose, and
final balance at the year S
end shows that receipts ex-
ceeded the disbursements by
over S73O,O00.
Melon Shared BY Many
l have already stated above
that awards for the obtaining
of new members and others,
already paid or to be paid for
last year, total close to
$4,000.
Of that amount, close to
$4,000 refers to the Junior
Order, the remainder to the
adult membership.
Of the S128,OOO expenditure
for the official publications,
only $4,000 represents the
cost Of publishing the BIZ
monthly Junior Magazine, the
balance is the cost of the IA
jednicar'.
Also stated above is the
payment OF death benefits
to the beneficiaries of our
deceased IN bers, of
1886, 600. only $S,33S was
paid in the Junior Order
Department for its de-
ceased members.
The Croatian Fraterna
Union pays higher dividends
annually to it's members than
any other Slav fraternal or
ganization. l have shown that
our cash dividend payments
for last year totaled over
S3O8,0O0, namely, S257 900 to
our adult members, and the
balance to our juvenile men,
bers.
Therefore, over one-quarter
of a million dollars of annual
profits has been distributed a.
mong our adult members as
their share Of our profits.
Faithful To Members
As our members know, the
Croatian Fraternal Union has
been paying regular annual
dividends in cash or the wal.
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-02-26

YER of assessments for over
thirty years.
If the Society had not paid
dividends to it's members, our
mortuary fund reserves would
now total close to 10 million
dollars, and the Society's SOL
vency would be near 1900
instead of something over
1OSeo.
Some organizations, includ'
ing Croatian, Serbian, and
Slovenian fraternals, never
paid any dividends until re-
cent years. For that reason
their solvency stands at 1900
or 1907. These organizations
strengthened their reserves
every year with their surplus
earnings.
In our Croatian Frater-
nal Union, the former ad-
ministrations, just as the
present one, believed that
those members whose con-
tributions during the year
made it possible for the So
ciety to show a profit at
the close of the year, were
entitled to share in that
profit.
So, in our Society, we de.
clare a dividend annually, ano
let our living members share
in the profits.
Fair - And Equitable
What benefit is there to de.
ceased members in other or
ganizations from huge sur.
pluses in the mortuary funds
which surpluses these now de.
ceased members helped to &C.
cumulate?
We in the Croatian Frater.
nal Union believe that oul
business methods arc fairel
and more equitable, and we
will continue these methods
as long as the organization
shows a solvency of Over
1OOec.
This is permitted by the
Insurance regulations, and
particularly by Fraternal
Insurance Laws in the
Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania, where our Society is
chartered.
This is more proof to our
members that the Croatian
Fraternal MON jealousy
guards the interests of all
members in all places, at ev.
cry step, and at all times.
So, I conclude this series OF
articles on our annual finan'
cial statement with my ia
vored motto, that it is al
honor to be a member Of tn.
Croatian Fraternal Union O.
America and a still greater
honor to be it's builder!
