Center Going Concern
Supreme Treasurer of the
Croatian Fraternal Union bro.
Martin Krasich was the af-
ternoon's windup speaker.
After reviewing his long
acquaintance with bro. Vuke-
Itch and doing so with emo
ton, bro. krasich called on
the crowd to contribute to the
funds of the WPUL Croatian
Center.
Although no one knew in
advance that such a call
would be sounded, more
than 81, 900 rolled in as the
Supreme Treasurer went to
work on this phase of the
day. Which is proof positive
that the Croatian Center is
a going concern.
And with this bro. Vukelich
took over to thank his many
friends for making possible
this great day in his life and
sending him home all the
more grateful for his long and
highly worthwhile affiliation
with the Croatian Fraternal
Union.
The celebrant choked here
and there as he fought with
himself to find the words he
wanted to use on so touching
an occasion. 1t wasn't easy.
But he did it.
Finally, bro. Vukelich was
asked to stand and accept two
gifts, one a S100 Savings
Bond from the Croatian Fra
ternal Union, the other a mag
nificent portable tee-vee set
from the Western Pennsylva-
MIA United Lodges.
Both very we'll earned.

The Story Designer o Diploma
vaho Bukovac Artist Par Excellence, Man Of The World

Century the Slavs received
legal possession of Dalmatia.
For centuries Dalmatia was
ruled by Byzantine and Ro-
man emperors, by Turks, We
netians, and Austrians. In
1909 Napoleon arrived on the
scene to wrest Dalmatia from
Austria and revive the name
of old Illyria.
1t was to remain under the
rule of Napoleon for but a
short time. BY 1914 Austria
repossessed Dalmatia and for
the next 100 years it remained
her province.
Republic OF Ragusa
No matter who ruled over
Dalmatia through the centu-
ries, there was one part Of it
which remained free and in
dependent from the 18th Cen
tury to the beginning Of the
10Th Century.
This was the Dubrovacka
Republika - the Republic of
Ragusa.
Dubrovnik to this day is
one of the worlds most ia
nous ancient cities, which
appeared in history under
its first name of Ragusa.
Spared alike by the rava-
ges of time and the hand of
man, "its colossal walls stand
perfect as of yore, enclosing
the city in their belt of ma
sonry. This gem of the medic
val builders art, harmonious
and dignified, was reared
upon cliffs Tapped by the linn
pid waves Of the South Ad-
riatic."
This, then, was the father

former CF'U General Counsel,
was the principal speaker.
We have heard bro. Bala-
ban speak on a number of oc-
casions, but never with the
impact his words carried May
25 last.
He spoke of his devotion
to his people and his Soci-
ETY.; of the high esteem in
which the Croatian Frater-
nal Union is held on the
statewide level; of his re-
spect for bro. Vukelich's
contributions to the GU
and WPUL; of the far
reaching meaning of the
Zajednicar.
Speaking from the heart,
bro. Balaban left no doubt as
to his many qualifications for
the post he holds in the ad-
ministration Of Pennsylva-
MAS Governor George M.
Leader.
Nor was there anyone to
doubt that here is one of the
truly outstanding younger
men in the American, Cana
dian and Alaskan ranks of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
His fellow members every
where may we'll be proud of
Thomas R. Balaban, Esq, a
Fraternalist par excellence.
Celebrant Surprised
Probably the highlight of
the proceedings was the sur
prise serenading Of bro. W.
kelich by the Pittsburgh Jun
ior Tamburitzans under the
direction of affable, ever CO.
operative John Gregurich.
As "surprises" 60, many
felt that somehow or other
bro. Vukelich would learn
in advance of May rs that
these Junior Tamburitzans
were up to something.
But he didn't, to the sur
prise of those who arranged
the surprise.
In fact, the program ap'
pearance Of the youngsters
"floored" the celebrant and
moved him to tears.

For the next two centuries
they waged war against the
Illyrians and finally, under
the Roman emperor Octavian,
they conquered the Illyrians
at the beginning of the list
Century AID.
Henceforth the Romans es-
tablished their two provinces
of Panonia and Dalmatia and
began to expand their power
full empire eastward, which
was known as the Eastern and
Western Roman Empire.
In the 9th Century the orr
ginal Illyrian country was in
vaded by other powerful
tribes, the Goths and Huns,
described as barbarians who
destroyed everything h t
stood in their way.
Here is where the Slavs
entered the picture, partic-
ularly the tribe Hrvat -
or Croat.
Actually, history records
five brothers, Klukas, Lobel,
Kosenjec, Muhlo and Hrvat,
and two sisters, Tuga and
Buga, as each being a leader
Of a tribe.
Heraclius Made Bid
The Byzantine emperor He
raclius invited these people
to move south from the Da-
nubian Valley and help rid the
country of Goths and Huns,
particularly in Dalmatia, fol-
lowing which they were to
make their home there and
protect the country from fu-
ture invaders.
Their struggle with these
barbarians lasted for several
years and undoubtedly ended
during the reign Of Heraclius.
At the end of the war,
the Dalmatian son Ivan
(John) Nv became Pope in
Rome and sent a very pious
abbot - Martin - to Dal-
malta with a large sum of
money to rebuild destroyed
churches and buy the free
dom of the prisoners of
war.

which the name of Dalma-
tia was derived.
Much later in the course of
history the Illyrian people es-
tablished their own kingdom
and their first king was Ag-
ron, who, it is believed, resi-
ded in Scutari, or Skadar, in
about $50 B.C.
When Agron died in 23O
B.C. the queen Teuta ascend
ed to the throne and ruled in
the name "Od Adolescent
Prince Phineas."
Romans Harsh Victors
Queen Teuta's pirates often
invaded some of the islands
inhabitated by the Greeks,
whom the Romans considered
as their allies.
AS was the habit of pirates
throughout history, Teuta's
corsairs took whatever they
wanted whenever they inva-
ded the islands, often depriv-
ing their victims even of the
barest necessities of life.
When complaints reached
Rome, the Roman Senate
sent a sharply worded
warning to the Queen in
which it was demanded that
she put an end to such a
trOcities.
When she replied that she
was powerless to do so, the
Romans declared war on Te-
uta in 229 BIC. BY 228 BIC.
she was forced to make peace
with the Romans in spite of
almost unacceptable terms
handed down by the conquer
or.
By the treaty with them
she was forced to give a part
Of her kingdom to the Ro-
mans and also another part
to Demetrius, the Greek COM
mander on the Island of Hvar,
who was her ally before this
pact.

these concessions, the Ro.
mans were not satisfied.

course on this important SUBJ
.ject with the greatest interest
and attention, which was evil
denced by the questions asked
in the general discussion
which took place after my
talk.
One of the first questions
posed was whether only Ca
madam delegates would vote
in the election Of Canadian
representatives. -.
The answer is that the en-
tire delegation votes in the
elections, and only by a ma
jority of all legally cast votes
are individual members of the
Board of Trustees elected.
But only Canadian dele
gates can be candidates for
the fifth place on the Board
of Trustees and the fifth
member of the Supreme
Trial Board. /
Another important question
asked was, whether or not the
insurance laws will permit
this method of electing the
supreme administration.
The answer to that is, that
the laws governing fraternal
organizations in the various
states of the Union and pro-
vinces of Canada will permit
this method of elections if it
is provided for in the bylaws
of the Croatian Fraternal
Union. !
There will, without a doubt.
be many inquiries, especially
on the part Of our Canadian
membership, on this subject,
which we will gladly answer
through the columns of the
Zajednicar, and otherwise.
Grateful To One And All
take this means to express
my thanks to the officers and
members of Lodge No. GIT
"Croatian Sons in Welland,
Ontario, for their invitation
and warm reception.
All of the lodge officers and
officials, from the president,
Brother Anton Pavelic, to the
nest manager, Sister Mary
Bukovac, were most kind in
making certain that my own
and my wife's stay with them
would be enjoyable from the
time of our arrival to the mo-
ment of departure.
We were sorry not to be
able to call upon Sister
Canjar, wife of Brother
George Canjar, former
member of the Supreme
Trial Board, who is serious
ly i'll. Our special thanks to
Brother Matt Janjac and
his wife, who served us \
delicious breakfast just be-
fore our departure.
We were pleased to see Of
ficers and officials from sur
rounding lodges present at
the meeting, even as far as
Hamilton and Niagara Falls,
New York.
The lodge officers, officials
and members who attended
the meeting, sent, through us,
their greetings and regards
to all the officers, officials
and office personnel in the
Home Office.
Once again, many thanks
to our brothers and sisters
in Welland.

ton?
1t is my opinion that a ref.
erendum of the delegates is
not necessary. The convention
is the supreme body and has
the power to direct when the
new bylaws or any section
of the new bylaws is to be-
come effective.
After the approval by tho
convention of the new Sec
tions of the bylaws, as a.
bove set forth, q motion
sh ould Immediately be
made and passed that these
two sections of the bylaws
become effective immedi-
ately following their ap-
proval.
Then the new Administra-
ton will be elected in accor-
dance with the newly adopted
sections, and our Canadian
membership will be assured
of representation in the new
administration by one mem.
ber of the Board Of Trustees
and one member of the Su.
preme Trial Board. .
However, that does not
mean that our Canadian dele
gates may not be candidates
for other offices elected by
the Convention.

provided by the amendments
