every member has a voice in

Pride In Heritage
When our forefathers left
their homeland in search for
a better life and opportunities,
they brought with them a lit
tie something of the home
land, which to them was very
dear. Among these were the
tamburitza, kolo, janjetina,
and the many fine customs
and traditions.
These fine rare treats will
be, found at the 65th ami
versary celebration for all to
enjoy.
A colorful program is
now being arranged. One of
the highlights will be the
appearance of the Silver
Strings Junior Tammies of
Milwaukee and West Allis,
Wise. Many other fine
groups will also participate
on the program.
All who have been C.F.U.
members for so years or more
will be admitted free to the
grounds and will be given a
special salute.
Also presented to the public
during the program will be
the champs who have won the
coveted prize of a free trip to
Yugoslavia, as a reward from
the CFU and a grateful men,
bership for their efforts in
the 2-Year Campaign.

Keeping of Minutes
| have already said that
there remain only eight more
delegates to be elected and
certified. That will take ano-
ther ten days or so.
After that, | will mail a
QUESTIONABLE to every dele
gate requesting that he or
she indicate a preference as to
which language shall be used
in the conduction of the con-
vention and keeping the min
utes.
According to their re-
plies, / will be able to rec
Ommend or advise the con-
vention which language
would satisfy the majority
of the members of the con-
vention.
According to their wishes,
the convention will elect its
leadership, h convention
chairmen and secretaries. The
convention minutes will be
kept in accordance with the
dictates of the delegates, and
that, | believe, is extremely
important, as the minutes
mirror the work of the con-
vention.
I urge you, brothers and
sisters, our delegates, to give
the matter careful thought
when you receive the ques-
tionnaire by mail in about
ten-fifteen days, and give us
your answer to avoid the
wasting of the conventions
time on that subject.

Spirit of Brotherhood

Spirit of Brotherhood
We could use a myriad 9TH
er examples but there is one
of recent memory that stands
out as the paragon of BROTH
erly love.
In October of 1857 both the
adult and junior official or
gans of the Society carried
an article penned by a very
active and conscientious nest
manager.
In that article she described
the serious condition of a hos
pitalized, 14-year-old Junior
and appealed to CFU men,
bers everywhere to brighten
his long and dreary hours
with get-well cards.
Gods will ordained that
the child's stay on earth be
terminated a short time
thereafter.
We are happy, however, to
be able to tell the world that
the last few days were happy
and busy ones for this young
ster because he was literally
deluged with letters and
cards and even gifts.
One such gift arrived at the
Society's headquarters to be
sent on to the boy. It had ira
veled by air almost halfway
around the world, away up
from Anchorage, Alaska.
The sender was a fraternal
zealot in that CF'U outpost.
What, indeed, could better ex-
emplify the territorial vast
ness and true fraternal devo-
tion of a Continental House
of Brotherhood?
And, Of course, the most
striking, the most effective
and the most appreciated
gesture Of love of fellow man
and member is that which
comes as that final token of
fraternal fervor - the lodge
burial.
It is at this particular time
that the Incompatible value
of a certificate over a policy
is most evident.
Whereas the latter lends
only material assistance, the
former does all that and, in
addition, shares the grief, for
here, truly, a brother was
lost.

Motions Important
In bringing up the question
as to which language shall be
used in conducting the con.
vention, | by no means infer

other language will be prohi'

Regardless of which Ian
guage will be used to conduct
the convention, regardless OF
which language will be useo

will announce each motion in
both languages before voting
However, we know, and are
conscious Of the fact, that ou1
older delegates are much bet
ter versed in the English Ian
guage than the younger del
egates are in Croatian.
1t is not the fault of the
younger ones if they do not
understand the Croatian
language, but rather it is

nature. The daily function of
each could well record vivid
examples of fraternalism to
the core.
Act of Fraternalism
Let us cite one such out
standing record Of fraternal
love which occurred some so
years ago.
A member of a lodge loca-
ted in New Mexico contract
ed an illness which eventual
ly robbed him of all his saw
ings in his quest for medical
aid.
He and his fellow lodge
members were finally con-
vinced that recovery was not
to be had in New Mexico. 1t
was discovered that 1000
miles away, in Pittsburgh,
was a doctor who could help.
The lodge itself assumed
the expenses of sending
, him to Pittsburgh. Even in
those days the expenses in
volved was the huge sum
of $4OO.
The 9th Convention of the
National Croatian Soci e t y
was so impressed with this
deed that it voted to refund
the lodge one half of that
sum. BY this act every single
member of the organization
became a participant in this
fraternal gest.
