will hold their annual Picnic
and the celebration of the
CFU 65th Anniversary on
Sunday, July 19, in Magnolia
Park on 16 Mile Road between
Ryan and Mound.
For the first time In the
history of this Committee, it
was decided to stage a Queen
Contest. This, of course, is
not a new idea, as it has been
practiced elsewhere for the
past several years. It is how
ever a new idea for our Lod-
ges in Detroit. We wish to
have plenty Of contestants in
this new venture.
Geo will give three pri-
zes to our winners in the
contest: 1st prize a $1OO
bond; End prize, $75 bond;
and Srd a $50 bond.
In case Of tie in second or
third place, each contestant
will receive an equal prize.
More details will be furnished
later.
At this time the CEC in
vites it's girl members to reg
lister with their respective
lodges and start working.
Please send your name, ad-
dress, and if possible, your
telephone number to the un-
dersigned, at 5O4O Russell st.,

has sprouted into a healthy
whole family-cultural tree
which can act as a poten me-
dium for bringing our people
closer together and into
greater prominence on the
American cultural scene.
Even the Mayors of Mil
waukee and West Allis, al
ways our peoples good
friends and boosters, point
ed this up by their presence
and warm, sincere remarks.
It was a pleasure to be a
mongst our people in this
great metropolis. Their hospi-
tality is always their hall
mark.
The Society owes a debt of
gratitude to the Mothers
Club of Milwaukee and West
Allis; to it's jealous officers;
to the leaders and to the in
dividual membership of our
CFU units in that locality.
We hesitate to name names
for fear of unintentionally
overlooking someone but do
want to make note of the fact
that two of our fellow Su-
preme Board Members were
also in attendance - sister
Sylvia Niksic Of Gary, Ind,
and Nikola Hinich, the local
representative.
Lodge Fetes Veterans
Before concluding we do
want to mention also that on
our way to Milwaukee for the
May "a event we dropped in
on Lodge 148, Chicago, and
it's testimonial to so year
members which took place on
Saturday, May %.
Our arrival was, by our
own choice, unannounced. We
were overwhelmed by the
warmth of our reception and
want to thank the leaders
and membership of the lodge
for their hospitality.
AS we mentioned above,
the event was intended as a
tribute to a trio Of pioneers
who have rounded out a full
half-century of membership
in the CF'U.
The affair was success
full from every standpoint.
We were happy to see all
and note that present also
was almost the entire
Board of the CFU Chill

THIS is ONE of the most
] important years in the
history of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union, the oldest and
largest such organization of
our people in the world.
Throughout the year, many
many Lodges in the United
States and Canada will be Gel
ebrating the 65th Anniversa-
ry of the Society. The ma
tional public observance of
this milestone is to take place
July 26, 1859, in Pittsburgh.
In September of this
year, Detroit will play host
to the Croatian Fraternal
Unions 10th Convention
and extend a warm wei
come to Delegates from all
parts of America and Can
ada.
This will mark the first
time in rs years that Detroit
is to be the site Of such a
gathering. The last Conven-
ton was held here Sept. 1927,
1924, in the Roumanian Hall.
It was the 18th and last
Convention of the old Nation
al Croatian Society, the fore
runner of the great Croatian
Fraternal Union of today.
Born July 4th, 1855
The name Of the late Vlaho
Bukovac, one of the greatest
artists of his time, is very
closely associated with the
history of the former Nation
al Croatian Society (NCS).
Born july 4, 1855, in Cav
tat, Dalmatia, Buk kOvac
died back i'm 1922.
l cannot recall any report
of his death in the press. If
there was such a report, /
regretfully missed it at the
time.
In his honor, a "Bukovac
School of Art" was opened in
Detroit some years ago by
Cveta Popovic, an admirer of
Bukovac and an artist in his
own right.
Unfortunately, the school
closed after two years due to
the lack Of students and
funds.
Friends COoperated
AS 1 recall, the z. Pelich
Bookstore received a large
shipment years ago of books
from Zagreb, Croatia, among
them some 10 copies Of Buko-
vac's autobiography I'M y
Life" Due chiefly to Cveta
Popovic, those biographies
sold like "hot cakes" and 1

was fortunate to get a copy.
AS the years went by, /
heard many remarks and
comments about Bukovac and
I felt quite certain that some
of the comments were not in
their right place.
Consequently, I re-read the
book on his life and found
that l was correct in assum-
ing that many of the remarks
made were incorrect. In fact,
after I read the book the Sec
end time l noticed that [
needed more information per-
tanning to the artists family.
wrote to my friend Col
ko Gojkovic in Belgrade
and asked him to find that
missing link" for me. l
knew he would do as much
for me, for he was one of
the students who attended
the "Bukovac School of
Art" in Detroit and made
the acquaintance of many
of us during his stay in our
midst.
Gojkovic sent me the ad-
dress of Bukovac's son, Ago,
to whom I wrote a letter ex-
planning that l wished to do
a series of articles on his IA
ther for the edification of our
younger Americans and Cana
dams of Croatian descent.
He was kind enough to re-
spond and 1 wrote my first
series on Bukovac a year ago
for the English Section of the
Zajjednicar. I was and still am
deeply grateful to Gojko Goj-
kovic and Ago Bukovac for
their cooperation at the time
Designed NCS Emblem
The series published last
year in the English Section
of the Zajednicar dealt in the
main with Bukovac's hectic
young life while living on
American soil.
The new series, to which
this is a prelude, will deal
with Bukovac's life after his
return to Europe and his ma
ny artistic triumphs on the
European Continent.
As 1 stated earlier, Bu-
kovac was to play a very
prominent role in the his
tory of the old National
Croatian Society, that of
designing the Certificate
for the organization. He
called that piece Of art q
Diploma"
Thousands upon thousands
of us, the faithful members
of the oldest Croatian Society
in America, were owners of
that piece of art and proudly
displayed it's emblem on our
chests without knowing who
designed it.
Now, in this 65th Anniver-
sary Year Of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, the full
story can and will be told in
the English Section.
May I express my earnest
hope that you will follow this
new series and enjoy reading
the life in Europe Of the man
who designed the NCS Certi-
ficate.

The elimination of each We
nual Mothers Day Program
Each of these affairs attrac-
ted many hundreds, if not
thousands, of our people and
afforded them an opportunity
to witness their children and
grandchildren in a variety of
cultural roles - all making
it crystal clear that the So
ciety directly and indirectly
continues to be the prime
mover of our proud cultural
heritage.
Each time the program
has been augmented by the
appearance of a CFU Off
cial or, as in the case of one
such affair, the presence of
sister Pauline Stotz, Manager
of Gary's Nest 10 and found
er Of it's Mothers Club which,
by the way, blazed the trail
for most of our many such
groups.
This years affair took
place on Sunday, May "a,
at the spacious Knights of
Pythias Hall.
We were the Society's Of
ficial representative and ar
rived in the company of the
CF'U Childrens' Home Super
intendent, bro. Nick Saric,
and Home Board Member bro.
Joseph Saban. Because of un-
expectedly heavy traffic we
arrived a little late and found
the huge auditorium filled to
capacity.
Tams Thrill Crowd
The program was well un-
der way with sister Mitzie
Knaflic, the indefatigable or
ganizer and President of the
Mothers Club acting as NC.
We shall not attempt to
list the points of this we'll re-
hearsed and ably executed
program for fear of inadver-
tantly omitting some portion
or person.
We can, however, say that
the year-old musical ensemble
The Silver Strings Junior
Tamburitzans is another shin
ing star in our already bril-
liant cultural diadem.
Under the capable baton
of our nationally prominent
tamburitza virtuosO, Char
les Elias, these youngsters
have advanced most re-
markably.
Bro. Elias who loves the
tamburitza and all facets of
our culture comes in all the
way from Kenosha every Sum
day and spends the entire day
with his eager students. He
has made this a project of
love and the smiling, almost
worshipful countenances of
the youthful tammies as they
follow his baton attest to a
reciprocity of attitudes.
The surprise Of the day
was the performance of an
adult group of tamburasi =
the fathers of the children
and then their mothers in a
separate unit as a choral
group.
After all, for a year now,
here was a group of parents
bringing their children to re-
hearsals and with time on
their hands what better way
to utilize it than to follow
their offsprings into the cul-
tural realm.
