PHOTOS OF HOMES
South Africans
Exhibit Here

Apartment dwellers in
South Africa all seem to
have one thing in common
"a balcony affixed to their
rooms.
This actuality is pointed
up in a good look at the
type of architecture that has
been going up in that part
OF the world in the last half
century. Blown-up photos Of
South African architecture
are on display, through De-
cember 8, at the National
Housing Center on K street
NV.
The exhibit features IL
lustrations of important
South African buildings in
governmental, religious, COM
mercial, industrial and resi-
dental categories. Most re-
fleet the contemporary scene.
Swimming pools are prev
alent in private homes.
Many of these homes mir
ror a trend, to our own
country's modern, glass-in-
closed ramblers. The photos
show these dwellings built
into the California type Of
high-on-a-hillside setting.
Along with the photo ex-
hibit, the South African En-
bassy has made available q
number of examples Of native
and commercial crafts be-
longing to the Embassy.
In the latter area, visitors
will find colorful fabrics,
loomed rugs in a variety of
hues from Colds to reds to
natural beiges, ceramic-style
ashtrays and platters. plus
wood-carved art objects such
as water buffalo and wall
plaques.
Gateway to the display, on
the Housing Center's third
floor, is past a Springbok

out through the green leaves
OF a potted rubber plant.
This particular breed of
animal is the South African
national emblem, comparable
to our American eagle.
The photo exhibit and ac-
companying craft products
can be seen at the center
from 10 am. to 6 pm, daily,
and from l to 6 pm. on Sun
days.

Congratulations

WYE WOULD welcome aboard today the
w new Cleveland, Ohio, Junior Tambur-
itza Orchestra the latest such juvenile
group to join the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on's ever expanding cultural network
Comprised entirely of CFU Lodge and
Nest members and ranging in age from
to 18 years, these youngsters are being
ed by Croatian Radio Hour announcer and
producer John Birek via his Sunday (WJW
$50 KC $50 to 1000 am.) broadcasts,
and supported by local Lodges and indi-
vidual members of the Society. D..
Our congratulations and best wishes to
those behind this most worthy undertaking.
May all concerned come to reap rich divi-
dends in return for their efforts.
With one of the more recent announce
ments of the progress being made by the
Cleveland Junior Tamburitza Orchestra
came the February, 1859, issue of the
American Croatian Pioneer" edited by
John Badovinac, Cleveland.
Among the very informative material
appearing in this issue was bro. Badovinac's
"spot coverage' of call made by Cleve-
land agent for the Federal Governments
''Voice of America" to local platter dealer
for recording Of ''Tamburitza Boogie,"
the disc made popular several years ago
by the Crlenica Brothers Tamburitza Or
chestra of Los Angeles.
It seems that the USA wants to beam
this recording to Yugoslavia. In Cleveland
on the other, hand, our youngsters want to
forget "boogie-woogie" and do right by
their heritage. How about that?

The decision to publish the

Paste Looked To Russia
For a long period the Ser
bian Government did not come
out into the open with it's war
aims.
Pasic was confident that
the Slav big brother and pro-
tector, Car Nicholas II of
Russia, would help the Serbs
to obtain the long-desired
parts Of the Austrian lands.
When Hartwig, the Russian
Minister at Belgrade, died of
a sudden heart attack, his
substitute Strand d m a n n,
Charge d'affaires, sent a note
to Petrograd to remind the
Russian Government of it's
promises to create a Greater

ating Bosnia and Herzegovina
and to gaining a free access
to the sea.

acquaintance with bro. George Balich, wide

Among other things, we discussed with
bro. Balich the aims and purposes of the
Croatian Fraternal Union Scholarship Foun-

night to work for to the very limit of his
abilities.
Before we left East Chicago (Jan. 18,

ward the funds of the Foundation.
Exactly one month to the day, Feb. 18,

Foundation.
And now for the punch line.

bro Joseph Bella, called attention TO the
fact that the adult membership OF the So
cietv fell (279) during 1858 in spite of the
generally satisfactory outcome of the Cam
paign itself.
This bro. Bella traced to loss of 1886
members during the past year via lapsa-
tions and cash surrenders as reported oy
both the Adult and Junior Order Depart
ments of the Society.
Our editorial Facts of Life" in the
same issue merely deplored these losses
while raising the obvious question "And yet
where would the CFU be today if such
Campaigns were abolished?"
Now, we are not going to quarrel
with bro. Grasha's statistics in today's is
sue of the English Section.
If indeed anyone is to argue with the
Junior Order Directors figures in the end,
then it follows that the Supreme Secretary
- and not the English Editor should
take up the challenge.
To each his own department.
However, we must take exceptlon TO oro
Grasha's belief that we, as the English Ed
itor, resorted to minimizing, deemphasiz-
ing, negating an unprecedented record, al
most apologizing for our (1958 Campaign
success"
Which is far from the truth.
Throughout our editorial career, which
dates back to JAN s, 1948, we have gone
at times to extremes to boost every single
major undertaking or function of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union to the proverbial
skies.
Bro Grasha knows that very WELL for
he has benefited time and again from this
policy since he first assumed his duties as
the Society's Junior Order Director follow
ing it's Los Angeles Convention of 1851.
Nor have we ever regretted as much.
So, we are perfectly willing to forgive
and forget what bro. Grasha would imply
in the opening paragraphs of his article and
agree 1000 with what he says in the very
last paragraph of his treatment of the 1858
Membership Campaign.
"The very fact that we have people who
are not afraid to spotlight the negative as
well as the positive puts us (CFU) in class
all by ourself."
To which we say: - Amen!
