he wanted to take
young Vlaho with him. The
father was quick to agree.
The voyagers began their
long trip by taking a boat
from their native Cavtat to
Trieste. And from there they
went to Vienna, Austria,
where they met Prof. Louis
Zore, himself from Cavtat,
who was their host for the
day. In the evening they de-
parted for Berlin.
After three days in Berlin,
the little party next proceeded
to Hamburg to board a ship
for the trip to America.
And so, to New York.
A Rough Neighborhood
Young Vlaho's first &C
uuaintance with America was
to be a memorable one.
Memories Of filthy streets
and the boarding house which
was to be his first home
here; memories of a group of
neighborhood juvenile delin-
quents laughing and sneering
at him, of going down under
the weight Of their numbers
during a one-sided fight and
losing his conscience.
He took the incident in
mad stride" but kept the
matter to himself.
As time passed, his Uncle
Joseph gave up his plans to
return to New Orleans and
decided to settle down in
Brooklyn. This brought him
into contact with one of his

beautiful than his run-of- -minc
art wares.
In time, he went on to paint
the picture called Holy Mary
of Seven Sorrows a tribute
to his artistry even at that
young stage Of his life.
Since it was a holy paint
ing, the boy felt that the pro-
per thing to do was to ask
the Holy Father to bless the
work. He set out to accomp-
lish the mission.
But the Holy Father
would have nothing to do
with it and the lad returned
home sad and deeply disap-
pointed.
When the elder Bukovac
learned what had happened,
he took his sons picture,
framed it, and hung it on a
wall in his house.
Farewell To Cavtat
When Vlaho was II years
old, his Uncle Joseph returned
home from New Orleans, La,
after spending some 18 years
in America.
He had a special reason for
returning to the homeland -
that of finding a good girl,
marrying her, and then tax
ing her back with him to
make their home in America.
The matter of marriage
settled to his satisfaction,
the Uncle soon prepared
for his return to the States

rules for the youngster to fol-
low - two hours Of schooling
in the morning and as many
in the afternoon, in between
which he was to help his Aunt
with the cooking and cleaning
of the house.
Uncle's Death Shock
Life, at this point, seemed
pleasant enough and no one
had any reason to anticipate
anything dire coming to pass
in the family circle.
But one day Uncle Joseph
came down with a heavy cold,
got terribly i'll, and passed a.
way in short. order to leave
behind him a shocked wife
and a Mortified and mystified
nephew.
Young Vlaho had seen
many villagers come down
with colds during his days
in Cavtat and couldn't re-
call any of them being ta-
ken so suddenly by death.
This preyed on the young
mans mind, but, as has al
ways been the case in the his

signed himself to life in the

To accept a new set of va

tive is not to be disloyal to
the past.
To the contrary, for to do
so simply substantiates the
obviousness of our forefath-
ers' wisdom. Our forefathers
exceeded their fondest expec-
tations.
The danger now is that
present abilities will exceed
present results. We can ex.

past by using our new position

ness enterprises, educational
institutions, and so forth.
Each of these institutions
possesses a wide variety of
characteristics.
Their interests vary widely
and the sea of circumstances
constantly gives them a new
and ever changing position on
the horizon of the future.
But amidst these changes
there is a method of analysis,
and approach, that one can
take in etaluating and modi-
flying these institutions.
Their Common Ground
This is true of the CFU.
This is the common ground:
each institution has an OBJ
jective, and each employs cer-
tain means to reach it.
More simply, each institu-
ton, including the CFU, has
ends and means that are ad-
hered to and followed.
The military has 4 we'll de.
fined objective - security OF
the nation. Educational insti.
tutions also have we'll defined
immediate objectives: gradu.
ates, capable Of earning 4 liv.
ing, aware Of the best Of the
past, and using it to meet the
needs of the future.
In this manner they become
contributors to the golden
lake Of human progress.
These objectives change
little or not at all over the
! years. If they once change
significantly, the institution
dies and takes new life in
! another form to nurture it.
self.
Objectives form the fabric
of the society and change on
ly in company with 4 basic
alteration of the social eli
mate in which they function.
The need for national secur-
ity is always present; there
fore, the military is justified
as an institution within So
ciety.
Creator - Destroyer
Since objectives do not
change, what does?
The methods or means,
which when followed make
possible the realization of our
objectives, change with the
circumstances that exist at
any particular time in history.
As time goes on, the
creator, circumstances, be-
comes the destroyer.
The means or methods
change in response to the al
tered values of society, the

nature of competing institu-
tions and physical reality.
The CFU has a paramount
objective: financial integrity,
faithful payments of princi-
pals to beneficiaries. and the
attraction of an endless flow
of new members.
We also seek certain sec.
ondary objectives under the
title of Fraternalism. These
are so closely identified with
the means used to reach the
objective that the two are
merged and lose their indi-
vidual identity.
CFU Objectives Same:
The conclusion that we are
drawn to is that the CFU's
objective is similar to that
sought sixty years ago. Time
and circumstances have failed
to alter it appreciably.
However, the means used
to realize this objective are
subject to constant change
because of two new circum-
stances: u 4 change in the
attributes of the new or &C.
tual member of the CFU; y
the spirit of social equality
that is becoming popular and
even contagious in America.
History cannot but help
reminding posterity that
twentieth-century America
deliberately and conscious
" sought social equality.
The means and nature OF
the secondary objectives that
the CFU is adhering to and
pursuing largely reflect those
virtues that prevailed at the
outset Of the organization
frugality and caution.
These virtues merged with
4 desire for unity which the
early members combined into
a force to defend themselves
against the hazards Of finan-
cial insecurity, and profess
sional and social inequalities.
This unique combination led
to the position of strength
that we have reached today.
They were born of the forces
and circumstances encounter
ed by an immigrant group
that was not always welcome
to this great land.
Faced With A Dilemma
The CF'U is now at a posi-
ton of strength, and is faced
with a dilemma: the position
of strength, in order to be ef-
fective and expressive, must
cast off those previously ne
cessary virtues of caution and
frugality that gave birth to
it. This is not ingratitude.
These virtues Of yesterday
