Minnesota Rally

THIS LAST summer holiday weekend Of
the year will see the staging of many
CFU undertakings of far reaching impor-
tance to the commonweal of the Society.
Certainly we would rank among them
the Annual Conference Of the Minnesota
State Federation Of CFU Lodges, which is
to take place Sunday, Aug. 81, in the South
St. Paul Croatian Home and be addressed
by the Society's Supreme Secretary, bro.
Joseph Bella, Pittsburgh
X \ 4
This annual gathering of our men,
bers in Minnesota is no small matter.
Far, far from it.
Scattered all over the State, most of
them have to travel great number of miles
to reach the scene of the Conference. A sac
rifice of time and money, to be sure. But
not in vain.
Nothing is sacrificed in vain when it is
given up for a common, worthy cause Not,
at least, in the case Of the Minnesota State
Federation of CFU Lodges.
Our sincerest best wishes for success to
all who find themselves in South st. Paul
Sunday, Aug. 81.

THE IDEA for our 5000

mated with the members of
our Lodge 374 "Gospa Roza-

last December, when it was
decided to observe the 50th
anniversary of the lodge with
an appropriate celebration in
June.
At that meeting it was
unanimously decided to in
vite the Supreme Presi-
dent of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union as the guest
speaker.
After considerable CORES
pondence and discussions at
meetings of the Executive
Board and the Supreme
Board, it was finally decided
that the Supreme President
accept the invitation if it
would be possible to take ad-
vantage of the trip for meet
ings with the officers and
members of lodges in the sew

Detroit Lodge 519 -

NOUNG VLAHO Bukovac's
] first voyage to and ILL
fated stay in America was
the talk Of his native Cavtat
long after he returned to his
beloved homeland.
His relatives, friends, viii
layers and others were for
ever talking about America;
about leaving their loved
ones behind to try their luck
in the States; about seeking
their fortunes in other lands;
about this and that.
Always there was the
solemn promise that If
they would 60 elsewhere all
would return as soon as
possible to the homeland.
Some were to keep their
promise. Others found 1t
impossible to do so; still
others conveniently forgot
their vows.
Among those most anxious
to visit America was Vlaho's
brother Joseph.
He begged his father to let
him go and swore that he
would not come home semi
starved like Vlaho did" Via
no himself didn't care too
much for the snide remark.
Off To South America
Aware that Vlaho wanted
to make the trip to America,
the elder Bukovac gave his
2 sons permission to journey

Salute To Detroit

IT WAS OUR privilege and pleasure more
] than one month ago to visit Detroit,
Mich, as the guest of that citys Central
Educational Committee of Croatian trater-
nal Union Lodges.
The occasion: - The Committees An
nual "Fraternal Day Celebration of Sun
day. july 20, 1858, during which we de-
livered an address dealing with matters OF
current and future Importance to every
CFU member in that part of
~ the United States and re-
SSS&A newed many, many acquain-
8 tances of long standing.
A"A It was to be - for us - a
E1tSW memorable day. day during
which we were to become
acquainted with the facilities Of Detroit's
new Croatian Natl Home at 1871 East Nc
Nichols Rd. far in advance of its formal
Grand Opening on Aug. 29-3O-31, Sept. 1,
1858, with the assistance of dignitaries
from all walks Of national, state, county
and local life.

Q To describe Detroit's new Croatian
Natl Home as being beautiful, spacious,
modernistic, a riot of pleasing color the
ultimate in a public home-away from
home" etc., etc., is anything but to play on
adjectives.
It is a superb structure, one built on
faith in the future and the realization Of
our people there that they are indeed "some-
body on the Detroit scene.
And on the Croatian Fraternal Unions
scene as well, for it is here - in Detroit -
that the Society boasts Of it's largest con-
tinental subordinate affiliate in "Zora"
Lodge 351 and salutes it's members on this,
the eve of the dedication of their new Home
at 1871 East McNichols Rd., the realization
of dream which began more than twenty
years ago.
So it is much more than a magnificent
new Croatian Natl Home which will be put
through the social mill this Labor Day
weekend of 1858 by thousands of the Soci-
ety's members from all parts of the United
States and Canada.
1t will mark, instead the end of a dream
line which had it's beginning many years
ago in the old Lodge 351 Home on Detroit's
Kirby Street, moved later when the Lodge
purchased it's present property at 1875 East
McNichols, and finally resulted in what we
came to see with our own eyes back on
July 20 Of this year.

now look at themselves in truly righteous

In "Zora" Lodge 351, they boast of the
societys largest adult unit.
In the new Croatian Natl Home, they
are about to give the city a cultural insti
tuition in modern keeping with heritage
almost as old as time itself
And - in 1859 - they will play mine
host to the 10th Natl Quadrennial Con
vention of the Croatian Fraternal Union
the peace of which must be secured in ad
vance if the Society is to prosper with dig
nifty in the future.
This, then, is Detroit 1858.

The major cities of Europe, like
those of America. are in the midst
of dramatic reconstruction. In
America, the motivations are
mainly economic and social,
spurred by the desire to remove
slums and rejuvenate the deterio-
rating central cores of our great
metropolitan areas. In Europe,
the basic motivation is physical
recovery from the devastation of
World War II bombings.
Bomb damage leveled the CEN
tiers of hundreds of European
cities and left literally millions
Of families homeless. 1t is not
surprising. therefore, that a large
part of the total urban effort
Of these cities is devoted to re-
construction. redevelopment and
housing.
was struck, however. by the
degree to which the cities of
Europe have moved beyond the
repair of war damage to dramatic
new programs of replanning and
redevelopment. To a large extent,
they have been passing through
soul-searchirlg planning decisions,
just as we have.

acter of the city is a major tourist
attraction. In most parts of the
continent bold new approaches
have won out. City after. city is
recognizing the economic advant-
ages of new downtown patterns,
and the most thriving cities today
are those with new downtown
hearts.
At this point should stress
that in many respects the city
programs I saw are not directly
comparable to our own. There
are basic differences both In prob
