a member of the Croatian Fraternal Union.
So, we didn't go to the pains of check
ing the Societys rosters for his name. Moth
ing in Mr.. Szymanski's letter to the Su-
preme President suggested as much.
The pure and simple fact is that Mr.
Szymanski has been a member of Detroit's
'Zora" Lodge 351 since March 10, 1858 Not
long But member nevertheless.
Born July 6, 1928, and an attorney by
profession this 35-year-old member of Gov.
C. Mennen Williams cabinet joined the Gro
atian Fraternal Union through the efforts
of Lodge 351 Secretary Michael Matkovich,
himself young man very well versed in
the Society.
All of which came to light only after our
editorial of Oct. 1 last hit the streets of the
Society and was found wanting by those ''in
the know" all along.
Our apologies to Mr. Szymanski.
Now, who was it that said: - ITO err
Is human to forgive divine?"

~ the names of all those who have a.
massed SO or more Points since the begin
ming Jan. 1, 1858, of the Society's 2-year
Membership Campaign.
To keep the record straight in the minds
of all concerned, these statistics are
through Sept 25, 1858 only and do not rep
resent an up-to-date tabulation
This must be understood by those who
by this date - Oct. Is - have more Points
than their total shown on page 10.

Interesting to note is that liz re-
cruiters have been able to amass SO or more
Points since the beginning of this drive,
one which will see many Grand Prize Award
Winners being paid off in 1860 with visit
to Yugoslavia.
OF this group - 172 - one has passed
the 1000 Points mark; is now beyond
$780, still another down for 700; 2 are safe
ly across the 600 line; 1 has reached the
500 level; 10 have gotten as far as 300; 18
are doing very well with 200; 56 have hit
the 100 circle; and SO are starting to move
with SO or more Points.
Needed: - 700 Points to qualify for the
trip to Yugoslavia, 600 to lay claim to the
other Grand Prize Award of a leisurely
cruise in the fabulous Caribbean.
Awards we'll worth working for.
And still within the reach of many, both
here in the United States and across the
border in Canada, who have until Dec. 81
1859, to make the grade they choose.

resent "the greatest show of it's kind on the
EARTH"
Quite billing, to be sure
But not one that the Tamburitzans can't
live up to in the long run.
. In wishing these stars nothing but the
best, we cannot help but recall the role the
Croatian Fraternal Union played in bringing
the Tamburitzans to the forefront more
than two decades ago.
In fact, we feel safe in saying that had
it not been for the Society - for its men,
bers at large it is entirely within the
realm of possibility that such a collegiate
musical ensemble would never have become
a reality.
But we won't argue the point.
Be that AS it nay, the Tamburitzans of
Duquesne University are here to stay so
long as our people continue to support them
morally, materially, and otherwise.
Which is all that matters as these stars
open their 1958-59 season.

We say prominent" be-

revolutionary changes in re-

To pinpoint the beginning
of this program to give
credit where credit is due -
we need go back no farther
in the history of the Society
than it's 9th Natl Quadren-
NAL Convention of 1855,
which was held in Philadel-
phia, Penna.
1t was the Delegates to
that Convention who deman-
ded that something be done
about setting up a workable
Scholarship Aid Program.
But Not Coed Enough
. Following the 1856 Con-
vention, the members of the
present Supreme Board put
into practice a Scholarship
Aid Program of some, but not
enough, merit. .
During the years 956'and
1857, the Society distributed

Young Artist Able To
Amass $4,000 In Gold
During Stay In States
BY Adam Sudetic
: President, Lodge $40 =

to earth when he realized that
without money he couldn't
even dream of becoming an
artist. So he went on work
ing and saving his money.
Before long he began
thinking of entering an art
school in Rome or Paris.
"There are real teachers
there" he opined, "who will
teach me real art. America is
a fine school, but only for
business people. And l am no
businessman"
BY the time he was ready
to leave the United States,
Vlaho could be classed as
one of the prosperous
"Amerikanci' of those
times thanks to MIR. Isaac
Lustig and his family.
Vlaho had a fortune of
$4,000, all in gold; for in those
days, as we'll as much later
in the history of California,
practically only gold and sill
yer was in monetary circula-
ton.
Grateful To America
His fortune of $4,000 in
trigued Vlaho no end. It made
him think deeply.
Think of changing it into
Austrian florins, twenty to
one us. dollar, and living the
Life Of Riley in Europe.
Finally, he made up his
mind to leave for Europe.
But before he did so, he
sent a nice sum of money to
his parents back in the old
homeland.
It will be recalled that the
writer said earlier in this SER
les that America had played a
vital role in the early life of
young Vlaho. Indeed it did, as
this reference to his fortune
of $4,000 and ability to aid his
parents will attest.
Who knows how many 9th
ers of our descent owed as
much to America in those
days in it's history? Probably
thousands.

Europe, American and Italian
newspapers publici7ed his in
tentions of crossing the At
lantic.
His uncle, Jacob, who re-
sided in Sacramento, Calf,
at the time and was in dire
economical straits, hap
pened to read about Vlaho's
intentions and Immediately
"lit out" for San Francisco.
The uncle unfolded a real
hard-luck story and pleaded
with Vlaho to take him with
him to Europe. In fact, he
even threatened to commit
suicide if Vlaho said mo"
Vlaho, Of course, wouldn't
allow that to come to pass. He
told his uncle to pack and
prepare to sail with him out
Of New York in December of
that year.
A fearful Farewell
Vlaho had two other prob
lens on his mind as he pre-
pared to return to Europe:
II How to safeguard his mon
ey from pickpockets, thieves,
and the like; and y how to
say goodbye to the many
friends he made during his
stay in San Francisco.
He. solved his first problem
by purchasing a large belt,
loading it with his precious
gold, sewing it tightly, then
wrapping it securely around
his body.
His other problem wasn't
as simple to solve.
As he and his uncle were
packing, many friends ga
thered in the home of Mr..
Lustig to beg Vlaho to re-
main in America. Especially
anxious to see him stay
were the members of the
Lustig household. They
truly loved the boy.
Sad indeed were those last
farewells. Everyone erie d
without shame.
And yet all felt that Vlaho
would not be gone for long;
that he would soon return to
the United States.
Little did they realize that
this was to be the goodbye"
for good.
