Welcome Aboard!

IT HAS LONG been a custom with us to
] welcome aboard every new group spring
ing from the grass roots Of the Society and
organized for it's general commonweal

which came into being only several months
ago and will make it's social debut Sunday
next, July 20, with an outing on grounds
between Conway and Freedom, Pa.
That this newcomer to the CFUs Amer
lean and Canadian network of Mothers
Clubs may look forward to a successful
venture on July 20 is an odds-on bet.
For their star attraction on the occa-
sion will be the celebrated "Sloga" Junior

Parents Have A Duty
There are many = too ma
nv cases - where a son or
daughter Of our members
marries a person Of another
nationality, and, instead OF
bringing a new member into
our lodge, he or she persuades
the new spouse to drop out of
our ranks.
The reason for this is un-
derstandable. For, how. can
somebody who is not of our
nationality, and has not had
any connections with our or
ganization, realize the impor-
tance and understand the ben
efits which our organization
offers, if it is not understood
by those who are members in
most cases from the Junior
Order?
That is why It is neees-
sary that we members edu-

IN CONVERSATION with
] our older membership, very
frequently we hear the la
ment that our native born
young people have no inter
est for our Society, do not
attend meetings, refuse to as
sumo leadership in the lodges,
how their fathers are paying
their dues, and that one day,
when their parents are gone,
their children will drop out OF
the Society and be lost to us.
There is some truth in
this, but the picture is not
rs black as some would
have It. There are cases
which are not conducive to
the Society's progress, but
such cases should be cured
In time.
If the father and mother in
their children's tender years
talk to them about the Soci-
ETY., urge them to read an oc.

of national consciousness
and fraterhalism.
When these children grow
up, they will not leave the
organization of their fathers
and mothers, but will draw
their wives, husbands and
their own children into our
Society.
Parents should explain this
to their children, and show
them the need for larger a.
mounts Of insurance. It is not
merely a matter Of strength
ening our Society numerical
ly and materially, but of
drawing our children closer to
us, primarily for their own
good.
Depositing regular monthly
payments in the Society's
treasury is a safe investment,
and there is no danger of any
loss. It is the safest possible
method of saving.

association Of West Germany with
the Vests military alliance has
been perhaps a greater cause for
Moscow's concern than any other
single factor in the cold war. The
Importance ascribed by the Krem-
lin. to relations with Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's government
was underlined by the sending Of
AnastaS I. 'Mikoyan, First Deputy
Premier and considered an espe-
cially close confidant of Premier
Khrushchev, as head Of the Soviet
delegation.
Mr.. Mikoyan and Bonn's For
eign Minister, Heinrich Won Bren-

restoring trade on an intergov-
ernmental level. But most signifl-
cant Of all was Mr.. Mikoyans
offer, made at an official dinner,
to give Bonn guarantee against
nuclear attack If West Germany
would shun nuclear weapons of
its own. Mr.. Adenauer has been
determined to arm Germany with
such weapons as a part Of German
participation in NATO. The
Mikoyan offer is expected to lend
new strength to the Chancellor's
opposition. led by the big Social
Democratic Party, which has been
vigorously campaigning against
