IT WAS WITH pleasure that we began the

Artist Supreme" under the by-line of bro.
Adam Sudetic, President of Detroit Mich,
Lodge 519
AS time goes on, and bro. Sudetic unra-
vels his story, our younger members will
come to learn great deal more about this
late great in Croatian history
And take pride in the fact that Bukovac
was truly man of the world.
Those who know him like to think of
bro Sudetic as IAN unreconstructed CFU
rebel (shades of President Franklin D.
Roo-evelt's reference in the New Deal era to
enator Carter Glass;.
Because he doesn't cotton to form;
oesn't agree on everything. Who does?
But he does know the history of our
people; does respect his membership in the
Croatian Fraternal Union.

IL AID HE BEEN appraised of the fact
earlier, Gov. Goodwin ]. Knight may
very well have set Sunday, June 20, 1858,
aside as 'Croatian Fraternal Union Day in
the State of California
For two very good reasons.
1. - On that afternoon, and in the
southern end of that fabulous state, the
members of Los Angeles "Croatian-Slavo-
nian Benevolent Society" Lodge 1T will
sponsor an Outing and Program in COM
memoration of the 65th Anniversary of the
founding of their Lodge and it's subsequent
affiliation decades ago with what is today
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
q At the same time, but at the oppo-
site end of 1.-The Golden State' the Central
Committee of Northern California Lodges
will hold their 10Th Annual Picnic at Napre-
dak Park, Cupertino.

To Los Angeles Lodge III goes the
honor of being the Societys oldest and lar
gest subordinate affiliate west of the Miss
issippi River.
The work of the Northern California
CenITal COmm1ttee, on the Otner nand,
speaks for itself - speaks volumes for what
can be done when people forget their per-
sonal differences and unite behind the Cro-
atian Fraternal Union.
1t has been our good fortune over the
years to meet many of the leaders current
ly at the helm of Los Angeles Lodge 1T
and the States Northern Central Commit
tee.
We know their abilities; we understand
their outlook on the Society.
And knowing and understanding them,
we do not hesitate to predict greater fu-
ture for the CFU in the Far West. y
To all, from top to bottom in the State
of California go our sincerest best wishes
for success on Sunday, June 29th.

Congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS to the members
- of "Gospa Rozaria" Lodge 374, Rock
Springs, Wyo., who on June %, 1858, will
celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the
faithful affiliation of their Lodge with the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Representing the Home Office of the
Society on the occasion will be Supreme
President bro. v. l. Mandich.
We wish him a pleasant stay in Rock
Springs and trust that the members of the
host Lodge will long remember this day in
the fraternal annals of the community.
We must likewise congratulate Rock
Springs Mayor Paul j. Wataha for the
role he is playing in making this Lodge 574
celebration community in scope.
A distinguished member of Lodge 374,
Mayor Wataha has set aside June %, 1853
as "Crcatian Day" in Rock Springs and will
this week call on all of his fellow citizens
to note the contributions of our people to
the city.
Not that this hasn't been done before
by the head of an American city.
1t has on many occasions.
But what makes us all the more appre-
ciative Of Mayor Wataha's gesture along
the line is that he happens to be of Slovak
descent. Or closer to home, so to speak.
Thank you very much, sir

r. Charles hOss tlOnal scene TO OLnerS,
we would concentrate now on the neces-
sty of bettering relations between our peo-
pie in America and Canada and, through
them others domiciled in these two giants
on the North American Continent.
Whatever the differences between our
people in the U.SA. and Canada - if in
deed such things exist - they should melt
before the late Spring sun on Saturday,
June 21, 1858.
And melt they will in the eyes of those
who are fortunate enough to find them
selves in the Croatian Natl Home, 173
Beach Rd., Hamilton, Ont, for the public
Canadian concert debut that evening of the
truly sensational Farrell, Penna., "Sloga"
Junior Tamburitzans and Kolo Dancers.
We do not in this case apply the word
"sensational' advisedly, for this group Of
35 youngsters from the States, directed by
the inimitable F. Charles Koss, represent
Croatian culture at its very finest on the
vast American scene
Without detracting one whit from the
Abilities of their similar counterparts in the
United States, we dare say that the Farrell
teen-age stars are in a class all by them
selves.
We have watched them perform too ma
ny times in the past not to arrive at such
high praise and hear others chorus Amen"
after their many public appearances.
In Americanese, they're 1T!
. Of course the Croatian Fraternal
Union is deeply interested in this June q
hands-acr the-border venture on the part
of these colorful Farrell groups
Why shouldn't it be?
In the first place, every one of the $50
ga" youngsters is affiliated with the Junior
Order of the Society.
Next, the Zajednicar made this cul-
tural organization through reams of pub
licity since the founding in 1854 of the first
"Sloga" Junior Tamburitza Orchestra.
Finally, the Croatian Fraternal Union
is interested in anything which will better
relations between it's members in the United
States and Canada and lead others to affi-
hate with it's ranks.
Hence our relentless editorial campaign
to sell "Operation CFU U.S.A.-Canada" to
all who are sincerely interested in but one
thing a greater, more useful Croatian
Fraternal Union.

He liked the law but, being
