Pitt "a Nominations
Order Of Day May 3rd

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The
members of CFU Lodge "a
are requested to attend the
next regular monthly meeting
scheduled for Sunday, May 8,
at the Bratska Sloga Hall,
146-44th ST., at 2 pm.
The most important issue
on the agenda will be the
nomination of candidates for
Delegate to the 10th CFU
Quadrennial Convention, to be
held in Detroit, Mich, this
coming September.
1t should concern each
member so be in attendance
when such an important issue
demands our attention.

683 new members.
This was exceeded only
once during the current 2
year drive and that was by
December, 1858, when our ac-
twists in the field enrolled 701
new affiliates.
However the March 1859
insurance written in the a.
mount of $626,4OO stands
as the verv best production
record to date.
Another unusual aspect of
this last months drive was
the fact that for the first
time in years more seniors
were enrolled than juniors. Of
the 683 newcomers the adult
department received 1868 while
315 went into the Junior Or
der.
10000 Goal In Sight
We realize that the forth
coming Convention was, in
the main, responsible for this
since most lodges wanted to
assure themselves the maxi
mum possible memb e s h p
count for the month on which
is based their delegate rights.
Would that we could find
an equally potent incentive
for the remaining II months
of each year for it definitely
proves that it is possible to
find those adult members
when enough of us put our
shoulders to the wheel.
Let us now graphically por-
tray the results of the cam
paign for these first three
months and compare them

elect delegates who will work
for the progress of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union.
We also wish to take this
opportunity to remind our
membership that in accor-
dance with the decision made
at the Annual Meeting we will
hold our June, July, August,
and September meetings the
first Saturday Of each month
at 700 pm.

Goal May Be Reached BY Eve Of 10th Convention
Junior Order Department Nearing 100000 Membership Peak

just $2624.75.
At maturity time - 20
years hence = the member,
who will be just 27 years of
age can withdraw her full
$4,000 thereby realizing a pro-
fit (S5O00 S2624.75) of
$2375.25 but losing all further
membership rights.
Believe 1t Or Not
She will, however, have the
choice of one of two much
better maturity options: OPP
ton l will give her a fully
paid-up certificate for $4,000
on which she will continue
getting annual dividends at 81
per thousand or $40 each
year. In addition she will re-
ceive, in cash, $3353.90.
Now, if we subtract the net
cash outlay - $2624.75 from
her maturity cash return -
353.9O-we see that a pro-
fit of almost a thousand dol
lars, $978.65 to be exact, has
been realized and a fully paid
up life insurance contract for
$4,000 to boot.
Under Option III she may
elect to withdraw no cash
whatsoever but take instead
a fully paid-up certificate

form Foundation Treasurer
bro. Krasich that he had sue
ceeded in raising $4,000.
However, he had some
sound advice to pass along
with an inclosed check.
Said he: - ut is my opin-
ion that in the future we must
arrive at some attraction to
keep the Foundation drive on
a high level. This volunteer
drive Of the moment is good
for the beginning, but l am
not sure that we will be able
to do this every year.
"WouId it be possible to
arrange with the Lodges
that each Lodge collect at
least so cents from the
annual dividend Of the indi-
vidual member? l feel that
800 of our members would
gladly volunteer to donate
as much for so worthy a
cause.
"Or can the Society estab-
lish a fund into which each
member would pay so much
monthly for the purpose?
LET us have something on
the agenda for the next Con-
vention in Detroit"
Interested readers are most
cordially invited to comment

Now that the picnic season
will soon be with us, we can
all expect to see more of our

At this writing these lod-
ges were not as yet heard
from, as some of them have
their own meetings still on
the April agenda. Naturally,
favorable reports from these
groups are hoped for and
anticipated, as time now
seems to be Of the essence.
June 18th was selected as
the date for both the 65th
Anniversary Of the CFU and
the U.L.'s own 9th year of
fraternal existence.
So, much remains to be
done and the wholehearted CO.
operation of all committees
and personnel will be sought.
Committee Is Thanked
During it's last U.L. meet
ing the committee on the con-
stitution and bylaws offered
it's documents to the U. L.
delegates for approval
through it's chairman, bro.
Stanley Juracich.
After a brief discussion
ensued, they were approved
and of course only the rati-
ficatiOn of two-thirds of the
member lodges approval is
necessary to put it into i'm
mediate effect.
Bro. Juracich was aided by
fellow committee members
Charles Grenko, Frank M.
Jorden, John Bakovich, Steve
Zelenika, and John Stropin.
It's principles and purposes
will serve as a guidepost to
promote the fraternalism and
cultural activities so necessa-
ry for it's success.
Ladies Busy As Bees
The United Lodges Wom-
ems Auxiliary is in the midst
of another benefit for the
Kolo Group.
On June rs, at $50 am,
a tour, limited to 35 women,
will visit the jays Potato
Chip Factory at 99th and
Cottage Grove Avenue.
The tour promises to be
quite interesting as the
management of jays is
most anxious to make the
visit an enjoyable one.
Of course, reservations are
on a first come, first served
basis and Pres. Kate Martin.

He is a candidate on the
Democratic ticket entered in
the May 5, 1859, primary
elections.
Bro. WOzniak is married
to the former Rose Bahun,
whose parents, Valent and
Kata Bahun, are members
of long standing in the
CrOatian Fraternal Union
and who point with pride to
the fact that all their chill
dren, grandchildren, and
son-in-law, Aloise, are also
affiliated with the Society.
Councilman Wozniak will
be remembered by many as a
member of the committee
which sponsored the 1856
CFU Midwest Golf Tourna-
ment. In fact, his activities
in Lodge 40 and other Gary
Croatian circles have won for
him a wide following.
AS the 9th District Coun-
Gilman, bro. Wozniak has
brought to his area more
than it's share of improve
ments during the past four
years and pledges a continu-
alton of such a civic program
in the future.
No. 23-B on the Democra-
tic ballot, he has earned the
support of his fellow CFU
Lodge no members and all
other Slavs residing in the 9Th
District.
His record of the past four
years is indeed one to take
great pride in.

PITTSBURGH - AS we
had anticipated, we are hap
py to announce that the end
of-March statistics show a
new membership high for the
Junior Order Department.
We've gone over the $4,000
mark-actually the count is
39,O4O.
We are therefore just $50
members away from our a.
vowed goal of 10000 Junior
members by Convention time.
That gives us the months
of April, May, June, July,
August and half of Septem-
Der - 512 months during
which period we must, then,
record net increases of about
IT'S members per month.
This is an ambitious goal
considering the fact that the
department sustains an aver
age monthly loss of some 200
members.
During the first three
months the departmental
drain was even heavier -
| being closer to 800. How
, ever most of that was due
to an unusually high trans
fer-tO-adult record.
During March alone our
lodge secretaries enriched the
adult department by l43
members who transferred
from the juvenile ranks. This
is all to the good, particularly
so when our devoted cam
paigners were able to write
up 315 new junior members
for the Society.
Salute To Chicago
The campaign rolls on with
unabated tempo. We are hap
by to note that our individual
lodges and groupings of lod-
ges are not only endorsing the
drive but initiating their own
programs and ideas for stim-
ulating even greater effort.
"A particular case in point
is the decision of the Central
Committee of Chicago CFU
Lodges to urge every unit,
junior and senior, to greater
recruiting activity and prom
J ising appropriate recognition
in the form of plaques to the
Lodge and Nest enrolling the
most new members.
The presentation will be
made on the occasion of the
huge CFU 65th Anniversary
celebration slated for August
% at our Childrens' Home at
Des PLANES, Ill.
This is a most worthy and
commendable idea. We salute
the Chicago Central Commit
tee for this exemplary display
of love of organization and
urge other units to follow
suit.
Sales Are Booming
While on the subject Of
campaigning we want to give
deserving credit to the fact
that happily our prospective
members and our devoted
campaigners are becoming
more and more adequate
coverage' conscious.

Final Federal
 Spending In Alaska Before Int. Dept.

WASHINGTON, R-The House Interior Committee will be asked this week to approve a plan de- signed to speed consideration of the Administrations proposed Alaska omnibus bill.
 The plan involves hearings on the bill by the full committee ra- ther than by the Territories sub committee.
 Committee aides said the re- quest is expected to be made by Chairman Wayne Aspinall O. Colo at the full committee meet ing Wednesday. If the request is approved, as expected, hearings on the bill could begin April IS.
 If not held by the full commit tee, the bill would go to the Ter ritories subcommittee which is not scheduled to meet until May 4 and 5.
 Early action on the omnibus bill bill is strongly desired by Alas kans because the measure includes authorization for a five-year pro- gram of grants totaling 2717 mill lion dollars Of this amount, 1015 million dollars would be for the fiscal year starting this July 1. No move to obtain the appropria- tions could be made until the bill has passed at least one house.

New Liquor Bill

New Liquor Bill
 Senators were presented with new bill of major importance. It would establish a new Alaska alcoholic beverage control board.
 The bill would create three member board with each member to serve three-year, overlapping term.
 The Governor would appoint board members, one of whom must be actively engaged in the alco- holic beverage indutry. The chief executive also would name di- rector as executive officer of the board.
 Rules and regulations govern ing the sale and licensing of alco- holic beverages would be estab- lished by the board.
 The present board is composed of the Governor, the Director of Finance, the Highway Commis- sioner, the Attorney General and the Treasurer.
 While the senators were begin ming consideration of a new liquor board, acting Governor Hugh signed bill permitting waitresses to serve drinks in established res taurantS.
 Women have been banned from serving cocktails. The new law does not apply in bars or taverns where meals are not a substantial part of the business.
 Hotels and restaurants wanting waitresses to serve drinks must receive a permit from the Board of Liquor Control, according to the new law.

Longshore Union Seeks to Reduce
 Work Week Hours

SEATTLE, R West Coast longshore leaders came out today for a 35-hour work week, reduced retirement age, higher minimum wages and other measures they said would help meet "displace- ment of men by machines"
 Officers of the International Longshoremen's & Warehouse mems Union said in a convention report that labor can help main tain employment in seeking "to force reductions in the work week without reductions in pay"
 The report to the ILWU's 18th biennial convention opening to- day was signed by Harry Bridges, president.
 The report also advocated more and longer unemployment pay, easier disability pensions, medical benefits for social security bene- ficiaries, national health service, and action ''to reduce the burden of taxes, both federal and state" "
 The MWU officials urged con- tinued opposition to all forms of labor control legislation mo mat ter how moderate"
 The report to the independent union said little help or labor can be expected from the present Congress, however.
 ''These conclusions would not be so negative" it added, If the AFT-CIO were less concerned about it's responsibility and more concerned about fighting for jobs and security"
 It said the AFL-CIO leadership joined in the clamor for restric- tive legislation" involving labor.
 Bridges and his colleagues op- posed what they called "the spate of proposals to reduce the effee- tiveness of the Supreme Court, or to reverse. any of its good deci- sions in the field of civil liber- ties"

Canada Says Alcan Hiway Paving Plan Is Unacceptable

ANCHORAGE, R-A unilatera1 approach by the United States to the problem of paving part of the Alaska Highway tn at runs through Canada may result in the failure of the program, Canadian official said Saturday.
 Eric Neilsen, Member of Parlia- menf from Whitehorse, leveled his criticism at a bill introduced by Sen. Richard Neuberger D-Ore). The measure calls for joint U. s. Canadian financing of 1,221 miles of the highway at cost esti- mated at approximately e6 mill lion dollars.
 Neilsen, who said he spoke for Alvin Hamilton, Minister of Northern Affairs and National Re sources, said the Canadian govern ment had not been consulted. about the bill.
 ':f the bill is passed by Con- gress, as is expected" he said, Canada would be asked to accept it as a fait accompli without modi- fication and without having had an opportunity to negotiate"
 The bill is quite unacceptable" to Canada, Neilsen said. He indi- cated the highway program would not get started under the terms of Neuberger's bill.
 Neilsen was in Anchorage to address the minerals conference being sponsored by various en- gineering groups.
