ted in this dedicatory issue of
the Zajednicar reveals other
interesting sidelights.
One of these is the fact that
our top performer - the CFU
Man of the Year, Supreme
Vice-President bro. Math Ko-
vacevich - established not
only the top point record but
wrote" the most insurance
coverage.
Selling" a hundred thou
sand dollars of insurance
would do justice to a full
time agent. Bro. KOvace-
vich's $1O4,7OO on a free
time, voluntary basis is
therefore that much more
of a marvel.
Another important facet of
campaigning is, of course,
membership count. From that
standpoint bro. Joseph Stano-
vich of Hamilton, Ont, with
his. 116 new members stands
in paramount position while
his $50, 900 Of coverage "sold"
is second only to that of bro.
Kovacevich.
Ten In Elite Class
We thought it interesting
to compile a list of those
campaigners who enrolled SO
or more members. There are
exactly 1O OF these.
J They are: Joseph Stano-
vich, Hamilton, 116; F'ranje
Rudar, Chicago, Sc; Math
Kovacevich, Los Angeles, 70;
Michael Mijatovich, Toronto

Sister Markusich who Is the
CFU Woman of the Year and
with her astounding $50
points second only to bro. Ko-
vacevich, earned these by en-
rolling 3S members. This
means that she had to con-
centrate on large individual
Sales.
That is all to her credit and
attests to her prowess as an
outstanding exponent of our
Society.
And Now, Forward!
T h e e recruiting results
have been so outstanding that
they've even attracted the
attention of our big city press.
Pittsburgh's widely read
un-Telegraph" had this to
say about us on Sunday, Jan.
II, 1859 THE Croatian
Fraternal Union is gloating
these days, and rightly so. It's
recent membership drive net
ted 5000 new members in
Guiding 1000 in this area, ac-
cording to Michael Grasha,
Chairman of the campaign
committee. The CFU now lists
10000 members throughout
the United States and Can
ada"
What else Is there to say,
and say it adequately? We
doff our hat to our cam
paigners - all 1891 of
them. You are The CFU
Men and Women of tho
Year.
You have performed a mod
ern day fraternal miracle for
which we here at your head
quarters, your entire member
ship, are proud Of you and
thank you all for a job well
done. We have but one re-
quest - KEEP UP THE
GOOD WORK IN 1859.

some voice In our government.
First a financial report should
have been made showing that
the income is insufficient to meet
expenses and that there is a
specific deficit-a stated amount
so that the taxes could be levied
to take care of a stated amount
of deficit.
Or If a a planned program of
expansion, improvement or any
thing is contemplated, an esti-
mated cost of this program is
figured out and the public ap-
prised of these plans and costs,
then tax may be levied to take
care of this estimated cost.
MIR. Farrell Moore asked the
Attorney what is the estimated
yearly returns from this Utility
Tax? He did not know. He had
not figured what revenue the
tax would bring i'm.
Levying taxes is a major Oper-
alton and should be given some
serious thought.

WHO PAYS THE
FREIGHT?

TUESDAY night November IL,
Il 1859, the Village Board with
only two dissenting votes, passed
the Utility Tax Law-Ordinance
No. 1-11-59- Full text printed
elsewhere in this edition). The
heading of this ordinance is mis-
leading. If it gives you the idea
Utilities are being taxed, nothing
is further from the truth. 1t
means that the $50 tax levied
upon these companies is figured
upon your gross bills-light, gas.
and telephone-and this Is added
to your monthly bills. These
companies collie C t the tax you
pay for the village. But, there
is a service charge for collecting
this tax, and certainly these
companies will require addition
al clerical help and an additional
bookkeeping setup to take care
of making quarterly reports to
the village. And guess who pays
for this? You do. This means

probably another ~ or 2% add
ed to the original $50 which
goes to the village.
Thus Robbins gets the dubious
distinction of paying the highest
telephone and gas and light bills
than any community in this area
with the possible exception of
East Chicago Heights, which has
already been saddled with this
vicious, INSCRIPTIONS law.
MIR. Maxey cannot escape the
responsibility for the passage of
this law. What does the neces-
sity for this law imply?
Having the power to tax, Mr..
Maxey and his board, also have
obligations to the people who
put them i'm office-the people
who must bear the burden of
these taxes. Taxes are levied for
a specific purpose, not just willy
nilly. You don't just say 1--WE
need more money. Boom! You're
taxed, because I've got the power
to tax you"
Even the lOwliest of us are free
Americans, and as such, have

; itself. Each day is the DAY
that the Lord hath made" Each
day can make real difference
if we open our hearts to the
possibilities it has for us.
Waht awaits us this day? Dur
ing it we can:
Leave behind old habits and
attitudes in the newne.ss of
our surroundings and our
schedule.
Help me, o Lord to see yhere
am a slave to my daily rou-
tine, and to recreate my life
with Thee in mind.
Feel afresh the presence of
God in some Scripture, and
spoken word.
Grant, o God, that as I wor-
ship with those whose beck
grounds are different from mine
I may open my heart and re-
spond to the richness and vari-
ETY. of the ways in which Thou
showest Thy presence to men.
Learn the joy of replacing
concern for myself with concern
for others. AS I feel my need
for f wship in a strange
place, o Lord, grant that may
be a friend to all with whom I
come in contact this day. AS I
am afraid to meet strangers, let
me see the fears Of others, and
give hem love. Amen.

eliminated the need for a bulky application.

of absorbency was governed by each womanis

to be stable in length-ezpansion being side

made in three absorbencies- Dr.. Don0vanis

EEw PEOPLE in the twenties would have
il called the girls who danced the Charleston
"old-fashioned." Nor. for that matter the
women who dared wear the first form-htting
swim suits. They were the models of their
modern age-and now are the mothers and
grandmothers of girls today.
But as up-to-date as these women may
have been then. they were Through no choice
of their own old-fashioned, In one particular
way. The way in which they COPIED with that
age-old problem of monthly sanitary protec-
ton. And why? Because. until now. few adj
vances have been made in this particular
field of feminine hygiene.
OF course, there was the introduction Of
the first commercial sanitary napkins after
World War L These offered the advantage Of
being disposable and were an improvement
over the homemade pads that women had
used for generations. However, the problems
of twisting binding and slipping along with
chatting and odor. were ever present.
And as for tampons (which came along a
decade later)-these had 30 many apparent
shortcomings. like bulky cardboard appli-
Gators, that the majority Of women were
reluctant to use them
Pondering this problem some years ago. the
late Arthur B. Donovan. a prominent Boston
doctor and obstetrician decided il was time
to do something about It. He saw the obvious
need for a better. more comfortable method
of sanitary protection.
Like many physicians. DR.. Donovan had.
for years. employed "tamponage" in his prac-
tice. This medical principle of internal Absorb
ton, he knew. was sound. Here. it seemed.
was the best starting point.
