Re-: Politics

\ NUMBER of members of the Croatian
~ Fraternal Union are candidates this
Spring in Primary Elections to be held in
various municipalities in America
AS expected, many Of them have ap-
pealed to us to help further their respective
candidates. via the media of the Zajednicar
on the strength Of their right to be heard
as members of the Croatian Fraternal
Union of America.
Which is understandable. But we simply
cannot oblige them without running into
complications and inviting the wrath Of
some people with long memories.

Something like two years ago the So
ciety's Executive Board ruled that articles
dealing with such (primary) candidates.
were not necessarily in the best interests of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
The Editors of the Zajednicar - under
the circumstances = chorused amen"
We have since hewed to the line during
primary elections and beg the understand
ing of those who may now feel that we are
against" their political ambitions
We have no other choice. =

But, How?

BECAUSE THE misery of unemployment
- and the spectre of hunger transcend all
political lines, we feel it to be in order to
situation in the United States.
Like millions of their fellow American
workers, thousands of members Of the Gro
attain FraternaI Union are pounding the
pavements these days looking for work.
In the meantime, the Administration at
Washington and the leaders of the Nations
great Labor Unions are in disagreement as
to whether the recession has been ar
rested. The Government thinks it has, But
Labor says No"
No? Not when you bear in mind that
more than 5 million people are idle.

Which brings to mind what President
Eisenhower told his news conference last
week what he feels to be the answer to the
problem Of righting our blighted economy.

carelessly said to you the other day, let's
be selective in our buying; let's take things
we need. Look here, once America just buys
the things it wants, our people. our manu-
facturers, will be busy making those
things
Good Mr.. President
But how do people go about being selec-
tive in their buying when the head of the
house is just another unemployment sta
tistic in this or that industrial area - when
he can't even buy the things his family
needs to live from hand to mouth.
True, the cautious working but non
buying public is contributing to the 'reces
SION by refusing to part with it's incoming
dollars for anything save the bare essen
tials of everyday life.
Then, what to do? How to do it?
Like the dark days of the 1905, the
answer must come from Washington.

Chicago with the staging of the first Train

held under the auspices of the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
Thanks to the determination of and
long spade work done by bro. Joseph N.

Nest leaders have already signified their
intentions of participating in these historic
sessions
No, we do not expect an overnight mir

the true worth of the undertaking.
So let us all join in the hope that what

direction for the Croatian Fraternal Union

communicate to others his
glimpse of that great and
shining mystery which we
call truth.
"A reproductive artist is a
mediator between the compo-
ser and the public. In other
words, he re-creates that
which the composer heard and
felt.
1T is not enough only to
perform a composition exact
ly according to the instruc-
tions and the notes of the
composer, because they mean
merely what the skeleton in
a human being means. They
are simply the structure
which must be animated with
the spirit of life and the cre-
ative power of the performer.
"All this is done by the use
of overtones.
The True Musician
"The true musician senses
the composers intention and
expresses it by using the SUBJ
tie nuances of tone and rhy-
thm which are in fact d part
of the cosmic rhythm of life
itself.
'"This is not easy - far
from it. Therefore, there
are few really great artists.
"In order to be capable Of
understanding all these deep
er meanings, even if only to
perceive from afar what the
composer felt on the occasion
:of his creative work, the ar
tist must be in harmony with
it himself.
"And in order to attain
this, he has to live a deeply
spiritual life which alone
enables him to develop his
own character.
Music Is Universal
II am happy indeed that
the Fates gave me the place
of a musician, and that I was
able to consecrate my life to
the work which I have just
described and for which there
exist no differences of race,
language or religion.
"People may not always
| understand the true meaning
of music. They perhaps do
not comprehend fully the in
tentions of the composer, but
music by itself penetrates
deep into the human heart
with a power which cannot
be checked, because it tran
scends the limitations of
thought, of words, and of all
that which separates man
from man.
I'm this sense music is
one of the greatest unifying

Single. Premium
Big Money Saver
Lump Payment Is
Heart of Bargain
BY Joseph Bella
Supreme Secretary

PITTSBURGH - The Gro
attain Fraternal Union has a.
vailable a new and modern
method Of selling insurance,
one which represents a great
saving to the buyer.
We have reference to the
"Single Premium Plan,
which was adopted by the
Society's Board of Direc-
tors and put into effect in
1857.
In simple terms, the Single
Premium Plan" provides for
the payment of dues in one
lump sum at the time appi-
cation for same is made - af-
ter which all further worries
about future dues would be
completely eliminated.
! Actual Illustration
Now for an actual illustra-
ton to prove that the Single
Premium Plan" is a tremen-
dous money saver.
Let us assume that an ap-
plicant is 20 years of age and
wishes to purchase a Single
Premium 20 Year Endowment
Certificate for $1,000, and
that the lodge dues are Is
cents per month.
He would pay $665.4O at
the time of application.
However, his dividends ov-
er 10 years would amount
to $500, thus lowering his
| net cost to just $6O8.4O.
Under the monthly pay
ment method, the story runs
like this: 1881 monthly NOR
tuary dues, 80 cents CFU
funds, Is cents lodge dues.
Or $4.28 dues per month.
Thus in 20 years he would
have paid in $1.O27.2O. How
ever, his dividends over 18
years would have run to
$93.60 to lower his net cost
to S933.6O.
So the saving in this case
is S325.20, the difference be-
tween the $933.6O cost on the
monthly method and that of
| the S6O8.4O on the Single Pre-
MUM system.
Meaning of Option l
After the Single Premium
Certificate natures in 20
years, and if the member
chooses Option 1, he, would
receive a Paid-up Certificate
of 81, 900 plus a cash payment
of $556.1O.
If we calculate this fur
ther and deduct the cash
payment of $556.1O under
Option 1 from the net cost
of $6O8.4O we arrive at a
figure of $500, which is
the actual cost to the men,
Der for 81, 100000 of insur-
ance on the Single Premium
method.
And for each additional
81, 100000 of insurance, a fur.
ther saving of approximately
$4,000 can be realized unde,
this modern way of investing
in insurance.

IN THE OCCASION of
~ my 1854 visit to Yugosla-
via, I made the following
speech during a concert ap-,
pearance in Zagreb, the beau
tiful Capital City of Croatia:
To-day, at this truly NOV
ing moment for me, I have
heard many sincere, beautiful,
and warm words here, and
now I would like you to listen
to me.
Il am deeply touched by
the great honor bestowed
upon me by the President
of the FPR of Yugoslavia,
Marshal Josip Broz Tito, in
investing me with the order
of The Yugoslav Flag, first
class, and it is my agree
able duty to thank the
Marshal from this place.
Il thank all the speakers
for all the heart-warming
words which they have show
cred upon me.
1T is difficult to find ade-
quate words with which I
might properly thank those
present for all this appreci-
alton, and especially for COM

numbers.
Proud Of His People

1907, that is, AZ years ago, ]
appeared here for the first
time, l had the good fortune
to be welcomed with the same
cordiality as today.

pupil of the Hrvatski Glazbe-

cal Institute) after less than
three years of study with my
unforgettable teacher md
great friend, the late Prof.
Vaclav Huml ~-
"And it was so years ago
that l crossed the threshold
Of the Croatian Musical Insti-
tute for the first time. I did
not realize then that I was
entering on a path which
would take me - not only
over continents and all the
seas - but which also Ito

to a knowledge of the mys-
terry Of life in its highest re-

sublime beauty of music.
