Schumacher Story

A BATTLE royal is shaping up north of

Croatian Fraternal Unions two-year 1883

Particularly in Schumacher Ontario,
which houses three Lodges of the Society -
Nos. 6OS, 895 and $50 - and at the mo-
ment boasts of the top Canadian Field Rep
resentative in the person of sister Danica
Markusic, who as of June / last had $50
Points to her credit
All of which found her ranking as the
Croatian Fraternal Unions No. 1 recruiter
not only in Canada, but in the United States
and Alaska to boot. Congratulations
Sister Markusic doesn't happen to be
all by her Campaign lonesome in Schuma-
cher. She has company aplenty.
Four other recruiters there had so or
more Points as of June l. with one of them
- bro August Herceg - breathing down
sister Markusic's back with surprising 315
Points to his credit
Combined, these five Schumacher Field
Representatives have signed 46 new mem
bers and increased the Societys insurance
in force by $64,710.00 since the Campaign
set sail back on January 1 of this year un-
der lowering economic clouds.
Truly something for Schumacher to
crow about, to exploit in every way.

Fraternal Week

Z RATERNALISM, which re prese n S
something nebulous in the minds of en-
tirely too many Americans on the street, is
having it's annual fling with the observance
June 8-14 of "Fraternal Week"
Governors, Mayors, and lesser political
lights, have already issued proclamations
heralding "Fraternal Week" and still others
on the national scene are making - or will
make much of Fraternalism's meaning
to the United States
X
. As we see it, the trouble with the
Fraternals in America is that they keep
their lights hidden under the automatic
bushel. Out of sight, out of mind
In fact, we often run across people who
have resided in Pittsburgh for decades and
never heard of the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on; never knew that the Society was born
in 1894 in Old Allegheny, now Pittsburgfs
North Side, and has maintained it's Natl
1ome Office here for the past 64 years.
Peculiar to our Society alone?
Hardly. The same holds true in virtually
9 out of 10 cases wherein Fraternal is
nationwide in business scope and known
only to handful of Americans
Which is something to think about.
