bration and left them with a greater
sense Of appreciation for the impact of the
Croatian Fraternal Union on it's countless
non-member friends and admirers
We cannot tell him in so many words
how grateful we are to Senator Barr for
his endorsement of the Foundation and his
respect for the Society and it's members.
Q The Foundation has also won the
public endorsement of the Detroit Croatlan
Board of Trade, group comprised in the
main of industralists, business leaders, and
others of influence.
In the groups July issue of 1.-The Gro
attain Courier" which is published periodi-
cally, appears an appraisal of the Founda-
ton which is so thought provoking that we
are publishing it in it's entirety on this page.
The author of the article is John l. Pre-
polec, a member of "zora' Lodge 351 and
the 37-year-old Vice President of the North
eastern Tool and Die Co., Detroit.
Now serving as the President of the
Croatian Board of Trade, bro. Prepolec is
well qualified to expound on the far reach
ing meaning of the Croatian Fraternal
Union Scholarship Foundation Inc, and
weigh it in terms of the role it can - and
most certainly must = play in the future
lives of the Society's student members.
Yes extremely well qualified, for here
is a young man who was born and raised
in Zagorje Croatia, and did not immigrate
to the United States until 1886.
But once he reached these shores, he
moved fast. After finishing high school,
bro. Prepolec completed his undergraduate
studies at Wayne University in 1913; full
filled in 1850 his requirements for mas
tiers degree in Industrial Education at
Wayne; served from 1948 to 1852 as a
teacher in the employe of the Detroit
Board of Education and as a supervising
teacher at Wayne University during the
years 1951-52.
When a man - speaking for an influ-
entail group - like bro Prepolec endorses
the Croatian Fraternal Union Scholarship
Foundation, then our cup runneth over

cich for what he was a man devoted
heart and soul to the Croatian Fraternal
Union, a man of great patience and under
standing, man deeply interested in the
younger members of the Society, man
who was not all things to all men.
Joseph Vucich lived and died Fra
ternalist He got no further in CFU life
than his local Lodge and the South Chicago
United Lodges level
He was destined to be Convention Del
egate, great honor in itself. But he was
never destined to become an official of the
Croatian Fraternal Union, much as he
might have liked to be one in one capacity
or another.
Surely those who knew him will not
want to forget the memory of this man
when the United Lodges of South Chicago
pay tribute to the Croatian Fraternal Union
on Sunday, August 16.
Nor the memory of all other departed
South Chicago leaders.

Some Must Have
Too Much Money
Lodges Holding
Back On Checks

PITTSBURGH - once
again, it is my duty to call
the attention of our lodge Sec
retaries and members on the
Importance of cashing all
checks received from the
Home Office within 80 days.
During the past couple OF
weeks, we were compelled to
write almost 100 letters to
our lodges as to why certain
checks were not cashed with
in 90 days. The surprising
part is that many such
checks are for fairly large
amounts and in many cases
are a year, or more, old.
Not only does such =
situation cause havoc with
our bookkeeping, but It al-
so costs the Society and
lodges unnecessary postage
and much valuable time
which can be well utilized
for other purposes.
Therefore, we strongly urge
our lodge secretaries and the
membership to show more
concern in this phase of our
operations so as to alleviate
the burden and unnecessary
work for all those concerned.
And since we are bringing
: up matters for the better
ment of our operations, we
also urge our Secretaries to
examine more carefully all
forms, applications and claims
which are mailed to the Home
Office.
Here too, much time and
postage is wasted due to the
fact that a certain form, claim
or application was not prop
erly completed by the lodge,
with the result that same
must be returned for correc-
tion or completion.
Therefore, please let's be
more concerned with these
matters as they are impor-
tant to the member as we'll az
the lodge and the Society.

CFUs Foundation Ranks With Nations Elite
Scholarship Aid Is Unlimited

THE BOARD of Directors
] of the Croatian Fraternal
Union Scholarship Founda-
ton, Inc, are continuously
striving to give publicity to
sch o i a r s h ip opportunities
which are available to quail
fled applicants.
The Board has found that
many qualified applicants for
scholarships have been limi-
ted to small sums of money
simply because other informa-
ton was not made available.
Accordingly, this article
will be devoted to the oppor-
tunities made available by
benevolent societies, labor
organizations, and industrial
firms.
Foundation Near Top
We are deeply proud of the
great strides made by our
own Scholarship Foundation.
A brief glance at scholar
ships made available by other
benevolent societies indicates
that our own Scholarship
Foundation has adopted a
very liberal policy. In fact,
even though our Foundation
is in its infancy, we can safe
, ly say that the Croatian Fra
ternal Union Scholarship
Foundation ranks near the
top for scholarship opportu-
mites.

known scholarships given
are from the Lutheran
