\ T THE END of May of
~ this year, after the close
of the annual meeting of the
Canadian Fraternal Associa-
ton which was held near the
city of Montreal, l visited
Welland.
At the meeting of the men,
bership and friends in the
Croatian Home, in my speech,
I brought up the subject Of
representation of the Can
adian membership in the ad-
ministration of the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
I presented my opinion that
it will be necessary to make
a change in only two sections
of the Society's bylaws to
assure the election of one
Canadian as a member of the
Board of Trustees and, cleo
ton Of one Canadian as a
member Of the Supreme Trial
Board.
The first sentence of Sec
ton 78 Of the present bylaws
is as follows: "The Board of
Trustees is composed of a
! President, Secretary and five
/, Trustees"
The first sentence of Sec
tion 78 Of our bylaws should
be amended to read as fol-
lows:
The Board of Trustees is
composed of a President,
Secretary and five Trustees;
ONE OF THE FIVE TRUS-
TEES SHALL BE ELECTED
BY THE CONVENTION
FROM AMONG CANAnTAN
DELEGATES.
Section 81 of the present
bylaws, first sentence, says:
'The High Trial Board con-

well the product itself should perform. One
West Coast producer complained to Wash

"specs" on a certain electronics contract,
the product would not work. But the Pen
tagon told him to go ahead anyhow and
fill the contract, then apply for another
cost-plus contract to make gadget that
would work.

private meetings with our
members during my recent
trip through Canada and mid
western United States.
The questions asked were
both numerous and varied.
The majority of these ques-
tions showed careful consid-

others, especially by letter,
even contained some objec-

to throw a few crumbs to
our Canadian membership,
and at the same time saving
the most important positions
for our stateside members.

These letters generally ask,
why should not a Canadian
be elected to the office Of su-

retary or supreme treasurer,
and so on.

Canadian delegates at the
convention would vote for the
two offices in the supreme ad-
ministration.
To all of these and similar
questions which were asked
me either by letter, or ver-
bally in my contacts with our
membership, I replied in >the
vein of my earlier article on
the subject, but I deem it
necessary to repeat it with
certain additions, for the bet

thousands OF our men,

departed for colleges or

Inasmuch as the CFU

ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-09-10

who are in need of financial support to
come into college or university education
should not look to the Supreme Board at
this time for anything more than sympa-
thetic understanding.
The Board cannot-at the moment
help more than 20 member-students. And
these few in the States and Canada to the
extent Of but $4,000 each
There is, however, every reason to be-
lieve that the new Scholarship Foundation
will reegate such pittances to pot in the
not too distant future.
Q Now, what does it cost to send q
youngster to college or university?
The American Bankers Association,
which has just finished surveying Sc ma
Misrepresentation of higher
learning here and in Canada, reports that
fixed costs, tuition, special fees, room and
board range from $4,000 year in state
supported schools to $4,000 in private
colleges.
To this the Association has added trans
portation, books and supplies clothing
y,
rive at an average yearly cost Of 81 ,3OO.O0
or $4,000 for the full four years of
higher education.
For family with two youngsters in
the SIS, ,0OO.OO-a-year income Bracket
rarity among CF'U households means
that about 11% of it's after-tax income
must go toward keeping a student in n
college or university.
It is an even more serious problem with
our CFU families, those with the so-called
average income Of $5,OOOOO and career
minded youngsters in their midst.
In all such cases, 4 full 2896 of that in
come after taxes is necessary to guarantee
their offspring higher education.
4 X
We cannot Of course, even begin to
guess what good will come out of the CFU
Scholarship Foundation, Inc. That will de-
pend on thousand and one things.
Not the least of which points to the
support of the Foundation by the Society's
better off and more influential members
and friends in the United States and Can
ada. Without their 1OO% backing, must,
the going will be rougher.
We doubt that anyone will argue in
these times that college education is not
of prime Importance in today's growing
American and Canadian job markets.
Certainly, then, it is the duty of the
Croatian Fraternal Union-as the greatest
organization of it's type in the world-to
constantly stress the Importance of a col
lege education and do everything in it's
power to see it's deserving young members
through school via ways and means equita-
BILE to all concerned.

Candidates Stand On Supreme
Court Ban, Indignation Urged

New York, Sept. 22.-AsSerting
that '-civil rights and desegre-
CATION are major issue" in the
congressional elections this No..
vember, Roy wilkins, NAACP exc
cutive secretary, has called upon
the local leaders of the Associ-
atoms l, 200 branches to intensi-
fly their registration campaigns
and to query all candidates OF
both parties on these issues.
''The defiance of the Supreme
Court by Arkansas, Virginia and
other southern states must be
taken into account by Negro vo-
tera," the NAACP leader said in
letter dispatched to all of the
Associations local units on Sept.
10.
Every candidate of both par
ties for important national, state,
and local offices should be re-
quired to come clean in a clear
statement as to whether he IA
vors full rights, obedience to the
courts, and wiping out racial Sc
gregation, or whether he sup
ports the stand typified by Gov
ernor Orval E. FaubuS of Ark
anSaS and the resistance policy
of Virginia." Mr.. wilkins told
the local NAACP leaders.
Query on Supreme Court Curb
All candidates for Congress,
he pointed out, should be asked
whether they intend to support
bills which will rStrict the powers
of the U. S. Supreme Court and
thus support the States rights
theory. AS you we'll know, the
states rights theory as advan-
ced by southern congressman
and senator's and others means

states were to be left free, with
out having to face challenge by
the Supreme Court, Negro citi-

mercy of states like Alabama,
South Carolina, Georgia, Miss

Particular attention should be
paid to candidates for the Senate
the NAACP leader indicated.
Each candidate for the Senate
of whichever party should be
asked to support a motion at the
beginning of the next Congress
for the Senate to adopt newrules.
This motion can be passed by a
majority vote in the opening
days. It is the quickest method
of getting rid of Senate Rule %
which is the fi'ibuster rule"

He recalled that when this is
sue came to a vote in the Senate
in January, 1857, at the opening
of the 85th Congress, Al senator's
