Chicago 749 Members
Can Get Back On Beam

CHICAGO - It's been a
long time since Progress"
Lodge 749 has been heard
from, and even now writing
these few lines is an unplea-
SAINT task. But it has to be
done because too many of our
members have become too lax
in paying their dues.
According to the bylaws of
our Croatian Fraternal Union,
your dues should be paid on
or before the 25th of each
month, and of course the best
time to pay is at the regular
monthly meeting, which is
held the second Friday every
month.
If you can't possibly at
tend the meeting, you still
have several days to pay
by mail before the 25th.
In fact, Progress has al
ways been even more liberal
| in that no drastic action was
ever taken until after a &C
day period.
We have some members
who fall behind two or three
months, whereupon I mai
them a notice. They choose 1T
take their time and pay 9
month or two later. But by
that time they are again be-
hind two months, which o1
course means they are never
paid up-to-date.
This must not continue
- and I do mean this as q
warning = for it is not
fair to the Lodge and
those members who do pay
their dues on time.

To this sharply-handsome
Sheboygan Falls athlete will

Truly Tremendous Job
1t will be, without hedging,
a tremendous job. In some, he
will have to start at scratch,
virtually setting up an entire
athletic program for them.
In others, some of the basic
work may already be done -
but even at best, it'll call for
some enormous energy and
enthusiasm. And ability.

Not necessarily a flag-wav-

in 1858 everything counts.
There were plenty of men a
vailable, dozens with top in
ternational track regulations,
hundreds more with the skills
and know-how in this college

No, the problem wasn't to
find one good enough; it was
to find the right one. So they

And this man, Of this great
Falls sports family, can do the
job!

The Rosandich boys, you

Family Learns Lesson

. To pointedly illustrate
the need of insurance and the
aWareness of that need with
some people only when "the
barn is on fire., we had a case
wherein the nest manager
sent us reinstatement forms
for a whole family of young
sters.
The mother was prompted
into this action because one
of her children had come
down with the flu. Of course
it had to be established that
all the children were we'll be-
fore they could be accepted
back into membership.
We feel certain that this
lesson will be a life long one
for the persons concerned.
1t should be remembered by
all of us.
Can that 111s cents per
month be more profitably
used in any other fashion
than to "buy" the most rea-
sonable insurance protection
in the world? We, most en-
phatically. think not!

that community.
Which brought to the minds
of many of us here our faith
and firm conviction that
Mothers Clubs play a very i'm
portant part in the life and
activity of the Croatian Fra
ternal Unions Junior Order
Nests.
1t is now clearly evident
| that these Mothers Clubs in
America and Canada have
through their splendid
work helped make the Gro
attain Fraternal Union a
greater "HOuse of Broth
erhood" and instilled in
many a new and deeper re-
spect for his or her men,
bership in the Society.
Who can read the pages of
the Official Organ and then
deny as much?
What other organizational
activity outlet has been able
to match or better our Moth
ers Clubs in the matter of
really boosting the Croatian
Fraternal Union?
Why Not In Chicago?
We in Chicago have follow
ed the progress of the Union
town, Pa, Nest 30 Mothers
Club since it's inception Feb.
10, 1857, less than a year ago.
We read with amazement
that in the short lifetime of
this group no less than so
names were added to the ros-
ter Of this Mothers Club, a
tribute to the founder of the
Club, whom we understand to
be sister Catherine M. Fran
els - Manager of Nest 80.
We were equally amazed
to read that this Mothers
Club was instrumental in
enrolling something like 20
new Junior Order members
in the closing weeks of
1857.
Why our amazement?
Because we have been toy
ing around with the idea of
organizing a Chicago Nest II
(under Lodge 32) Mothers
Club and needed some good,
sound arguments to get the
proposal past the dreaming
stage.
In Uniontown we have all
the arguments we need to
succeed in 1857
Ia Narod Zajednicu!
And SO, in closing, to our
staunch fratenalists in Uni
ontown, Pa, we say: Real
happiness comes from doing,
from serving, and from a.
chewing"
All the more so when it's
done ia svoj Narod "a
svoju Zajednicu."
Here, in .Uniontown in 1857,
was indeed written another
glorious chapter in the color
full history of the Croatian
Fraternal Union and it's many
Lodges in the United States,
/ Canada and Alaska.
May it and it's members go
on to even greater accomp-
lishments in 1858!

Yet track was probably
their forte!
To give you an idea of how
much Tom loved competition
mot too many people knew it
at the time and he was chas-
tised when his picture got in
the paper!) he once played
football with his Falls High
teammates on Friday and
then suited up with the She
boygan Redwings as well on
Saturdays or Sundays -. and
those were the days when the
Redwings were a crack, rug
ged crew. The Bill Toston era.
Toston, by the way, is still
Toms idea of the best football
player who ever came out of
Sheboygan - or the whole
area, for that matter.
And if you get him to
reminiscing, he'll tell you
of his fine association with
two of the greatest coaches
this county ever had, too, in
football, Gordy Bahr and
Andy Andersen.
Gordy taught him like no
other man before going on to
La Crosse College (he's no
longer coaching now, while
Andy's his idea of a real
coaching non-pareil.
Tom himself had a prema-
ture hand in coaching Falls
High before Arden Luker, a.
mother crackerjack football
man, took over in that hectic
time of Korean War manpow-
er switching.
How He Got Assignment
How did this Sheboygan
Falls athlete ever get this Far
East assignment, anyway?
Well, it unquestionably goes
back to his Marine Corps
days.
He had attracted plenty OF
raves for his handling Of nu-
merous track and field meets,
particularly one at Quantico
that attracted ''big names"
galore while an athletic Off
Ger (among his own teams
ace tracksmen) was miller
Yves Santee, you know.
And so when it came to Sc
lecting one man to 60 on this
"round-the-world' mi S S i o n,
his youthfulness and exuber-
ance and obvious organiza-
tional and training talent pro-
badly got him the nod over
older and more experienced
trackmen.
So he got the job.
That job will include, for
this kind of a trip, just hit
ting the high spots: - Ha-
waii; Japan; Wet Nam;
Cambodia; Laos; Thailland
(Siam); Malaga; Java;
Borneo; the Philippines;
and then to Japan again.
Plus, to finish, India, ther
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Greece
Yugoslavia (the land Of the
birth of his parents), Italy
Austria, Germany, France
and England.
It's quite a trip!
Served With Marines
Overseas travel isn't any
thing new to Tom Rosandich
of course.
He's made a good half doz'
en- Pacific fly-crossings dur
ing his Marine duty tour
much Of it involving track
doings.
just this past summer he
returned home to leave the
Corps for good - and
now, barely three months
later, he's off again leav-
ing an attractive blonde
wife and three bounding
boys.
AS his wife told Tom, this
was too big a thing for him
to pass up.
