We are doing as much in this issue in an
effort to bring widespread attention to the
Banquet and Dance to be held Sunday, Oct.
II, by the Society's United Lodges of Ceve-

"Fraternal Day" Queen contestants Of the

But we can only hope that the Croatian
Home at 6314 St. Clair, Cleveland, will be
jammed to the walls for this public salute

Awaiting the outcome of the contest
in question, and the colorful coronation of
the victor, are the Misses Esther Kasunic,
Lodge GIL, Barbara Cemence, Lodge 80,
Barbara Daunch, Nest IS, and Mary Muse

These young ladies spent the greater
part of the recent Summer months selling
tickets on various Committee awards and
collecting contest votes in the process
And all four had hoped that one of them
would come to be crowned Queen during the

Reason enough, we think for an all-out

Now, to bro. Ovcarich - to his pupils

Hamilton on Oct. - 60 our sincerest best
wishes for most successful gathering.

. In checking the SOcietys membership
status quo in that part of Canada, we note
that there are fourteen CFU Lodges and as
many Nests in Southern Ontario.
Hamilton, host city to the Oct. Train
ing School, is the home of Lodges GA and
954 and Nests 397 and 603; Toronto of
Lodges $50, 832, 961, 975 and GIT and
Nests 425, 5O8, 615, 631 and 633; Welland
of Lodges GIT and 812 and Nests 274 and
548; St. GATHERINGS of Lodge 951 and Nest
597; Port Colborne of Lodge 816 and Nest
493 Grimsby of Lodge $50 and Nest 598;
Cooksville of Lodge 10 and Nest 6O8; and
Niagara Falls of Lodge 772 and Nest 500.
Whether every one of these Lodges and
Nests intends to send students to the Oct.
Training School in Hamilton remains to be
seen. But - knowing our people in Canada
as well as we do - we feel that the great
majority Of them will be officially repre-
sented ON the occasion.
So bro Ovcarich has his work cut out
for him Nor do we envy him.
Our Lodge and Nest leaders in Southern
Ontario will give bro. Ovcarich a run for
his money, just as they gave us a run for
ours during our several visits in the past
to that area to conduct Campaign Mass
Meetings, Bowling Tournaments, and other
''king-size" CFU gatherings.
But we are confident that the Secretary
of the Sick Benefit Dept can turn the trick
and do so to the satisfaction of one and all
who attend this School.
Again, best wishes to all.

On Firm Foundation

. 1t is necessary to point
out that the Croatiar Frater-
nal Union, from it's very in
ception "a yeats ago, was
built on a firm foundation.
From that one small acorn
planted by it's pioneers back
in 1894 there grew a mighty
oak, which by now has spread
it's branches into al parts. OF
the United States, including
Alaska, and neighhoring Can
ada.
That beginning was very
difficult, but the leaders of
those days were able and de-
voted Croatian patriots who
worked selflessly in the inter
ests of the "little people" who
came to America for the most
part from the villages of their
old homeland in Europe.
Those "little people, had a
very limited education and nc
abilities for organizing a ben
eficial organization of then
own.

1T WILL BE remembered

the work of art came to hang
on the walls of Tripalo's Cof-

Among the many customers
who frequented the place was
John harrington, an intelli-
gent Hollander.
MIR. harrington came to
spot Vlaho's painting and
asked the young man if he
knew whose work it was.
When young Bukovac men
toned the artists name,
the HOllander wouldn't be-
lieve him. But, finally, he
became convinced and re-
acted in a hurry.

harrington, ''this place is ar

Vlaho promptly went to his
boss and informed him that
he was quitting his job to go
out and become an artist.

that Vlaho was driving at a

Benefits At Start

. The early records of the
Society clearly show that
very low rates were charged
at first in order to get as
many people as possible to
join it's ranks.
Since most of our people of
those days lived in hardship,
doing the hardest and most
dangerous work, every men,
ber paid but 60 cents per
month. OF this, SO cents re-
manned in the lodge treasu-
ry (out Of which the lodge
paid sick and disability ben
|efits to its members) and the
remaining 10 cents went into
the treasury of the Society.
The member was insured
for $4,000, but in the case of
death an assessment was le-

From convention to con-
vention, as the Society grew,
changes were made. At one
of the early co1ventions, the
ldeath benefit was increased to
$4,000 and later to $4,000.
In 1900 the amount was in
'creased to 100000, and in
1902 to $4,000, with the re-
sult that we still have many
older members who hold $500
