Virginia Schools

NOW tnat virginia has rec
ognized the necessity Of COM
plying with the decisions Of
the Federal courts in the
school cases, the major tasks
before us are: Cd To work
out a practical method Of
gradual compliance in good
faith; and (2) to preserve our
State wide public school
system. Whether the Per-
row Commission recommen-
dations will produce the
answers. ! do not know. I
shall, of course, carefully con-
slider its specific recommen-
dations.
Meanwhile. I should like to
state. in response to many
requests, what my legislative
detectives will be when the
General Assembly reconvenes
on March 81. ! shall work:
/. To hold as fully and
completely to a modern in
depreciation Of Section 129 as
possible de-, the State con-
stitutional guarantee of free
public schools.
2. For an overall State
plan for gradual desegrega-
ton which will convince the
Federal courts that Virginia
is acting in good faith.
3. To hold the costs of
programs Of accommodation.
such as tuition grants, to the
minimum. and see to it that
such costs are fairly shared
by all localities.
4. To repeal all massive re-
sistance statutes and remove
all faint" showing lack of
faith, as recommended by
our Attorney General.
S. To guard against in
fringement Of Section 1873
de, local supervision of
schools by a local school
board.
6. To reinState the COM
pulSory attendance law, with
some element of flexibility
to accommodate hard-pressed
areas.
Z. To guard against the dis
posal Of public school build
ings to private corporations
or individuals.
8. To fix standards which
will safeguard the quality Of
instruction offered in such
new private schools as may
be formed.

visage under the second point.
That is the challenge before

Budding Blossoms

The trees are budding in
Washington, and the tourists
are flowing in. even IL the
cherry blossom parade is not
scheduled until April II. The
weather man keeps a sharp
eye on the temperamental
cline of Washington in or
der to tip of out-of -towners
when the immoderate might
OF beauty will be on view.
Nature stages its show for
two short weeks. An added
fillip is donated by Washing
tonians in the nature of prin-
cesses, queen. and some $500
marchers.
During these two weeks all
is not quiet along the Po-
tomac. On foot, bicycles,
Streetcars. trains, taxis, cars,
people come from every direc-
ton to see springs ephem-
eral loneliness of pink and
white blossoms. Pale BIOS
SONS scent the air along
Hams Point. A veritable food
OF petals from the myriad
blooms fills the soft verdure.
When one first sees these
blossom-burdened trees he is
startled, amazed. beggared OF
speech. They are the epitome
OF all beauty. Perhaps it is
the fragile splendor of the
cherry blossoms. or their
color that dazzleS the sight.
Or as Keats would say,
beauty is its own excuse. One
simply stares in wonderment
and feeds upon the stuff of
miracles and finds it good.
And If "eyes were made for
SEEING" and if the viewer is
not blind of heart, he re-
ceives from the cherry BIOS
sons a better understanding
OF his Eastern neighbor.
Japan. who donated the
trees.
The Japanese have parties
and picnics under their
cherry boughs. They drink
sake. Geisha girls sing and
dance for the guests. The
word geisha means an "ac-
complished person." These
girls are tactful. courteous,
skilled conversationalists.
Their songs have been
handed down through the
centuries. The audience has
an ascetic sense that is cas-
lily moved by beauty. They
believe that the heart of
man Is the soul of flowers"
In our Capital we absorb
the beauty Of the Japanese
cherry blossoms from bump
er : to = pumper autos. The
price Of admission is moth
ing. II 1t were a hundred dol
lars, 1t would be money we'll
spent. For So one gets a
grandstand seat at a spot
close to the festival and its
human beauty-the bevy of
beautiful girls from every
State and Territory.
Visitors coming from long
distances cannot be told the
exact hour Of burgeoning of
the blossoms. in spite of the
wonderful work of Washing
ton weather men. The most
reliable prognosticators are
the trees themselves: already
they have fingers of leaves
sticking out of the tops of
the trees to test which way
the wind is blowing.
1t is best to come a week
before the blooming's sched-
ule and wait. Chilling winds
can hurt the blossoms and
hot winds mot the ones from
the Capitol on the HilD can
dry the fragile petals
So. beauty seekers, come
early and bring a coat!

Rice vs.. Colds

We hear much about the
common cold and the suffer-
ers therefrom, but very little
about effective preventives
or remedies. I shall be rs on
May 81. I have not had a
cold for many years. I at
tributed it to the toughness
OF age, never realizing that
1 had been using the preven-
tive in my daily breakfast,
until ! read an article entitled
"Vistas in Science" by
Thomas r. Henry, in The
Evening Star, Of Washing
ton. on March 8 of this year.
He starts off the article in
this manner: Something in
rice prevents virus infections
in plants. When this is
isolated. it may be applicable
to some devastating human
diseases" Immediately the
light appeared to me. OF
course, we seldom consume
the overly refined foods, such
as polished white rice and the
like. Breakfast is my energy
meal for the day; so, after
fruit Juice, we eat a variety
Of cereals, with some safflower
oil and honey on them, a
sprinkling of raisins, portion
of banana, and skinned milk,
along with q medium-boiled
egg and a cup Of coffee. We
alternate with basic cereal,
steam cooked. such as millet

HELPER, UTAH - At
high noon Saturday, June 81,

pecially for her.
It was designed in early CO.

tin with gown-lengthy of
Georgian illusion. The tulle
fingertip-lengty veil was held

mother section to the dress Of
her mother, and carried the

girl wore a white frock with

The highlight of the eve

of fraternal life.
Because of the fact that the
children of the Children's
Home will be numbered a
mong our guests of honor on
the day of the celebration the
quarters in which the chill
dren live and play will not be
open for visiting.
However, we do appeal to
all of our members and
friends who have not as yet
had the opportunity to visit
the home to do so on July 4,
when the annual Home picnic
is held.
To date, we have a large
number of lodges Of the CFU
in the Chicago vicinity who
) are represented in the Central
Committee and who will take
an active part in the 65th
Anniversary Celebration.
There are, however, a
small number of lodges
which are not yet affili-
ated with the Central Com
mittee and we make an
earnest appeal that they
send representatives to the
next meeting and become a
part of our committee.
We must remember that
the idea that led to the incep-
tion of the CFU originated in
Chicago. In reviewing the
chapters Of the proud and col
orful history Of the CF'U we
note that the lodges of Chi
cago> and nearby areas have
contributed to the growth and
development of the CFTJ in an
unselfish measure, thus help
ing to make the CF'U indeed
a House of Brotherhood.

CHICAGO - In order that
the Lodges of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, not only In
Chicago and vicinity but
throughout the Mid West, be
fully informed as to the plans
and preparations for the Goth
Anniversary celebration of
the CFU, which is to be held
Sunday, August %, at the
Children's Home grounds, we
wish to make public the i'm
portant decisions adopted at
the Central Committee Meet
ing on January Is, 1859.
Little need be said of the
inclement weather that has
kept Chicago and the sub
urbs in the deep-freeze for
some two and one half months
and has hampered the atten-
dance at the meetings of the
Central Committee. We feel
that with the coming of
warmer weather the atten-
dance will improve.
Because of it's historical
value a program book will
be published to record the
events of the Aug. % cele-
bration. We appeal to all of
the lodges, clubs, organiza-
tions, and individual men,
bers to help us fill this
book with their ads.
A program befitting the
65th Anniversary of the CFU
is being arranged and we ap-
peal to all groups and indi-
viduals who would like to par
ticipate on the program to in
form us as soon as possible
so that a tentative program
can be arranged.

A popularity queen contest
will be held in conjunction
with the sale of tickets, that
is, the candidate who sells the
largest number of tickets will
be crowned queen and will be
given an award.
All of the lodges are asked
to name their respective can

To spark the present two
year membership campaign
drive of the CFU throughout
Chicago and vicinity a COM
petitive contest will be held
among the lodges in the area.
The membership contest be-
gan as of March 1 and termi-

The lodge or nest that
enrolls the largest number
of new members into the
junior or senior ranks of
the CFU will be declared
winner and will be given an
appropriate plaque.
By participating in the
membership drive we are not
only building our lodges and
nests but are enabling the
CFU to become a more power

turn be able to give it's mem

recommendation by the lodge,
and then only after the death
certificate reaches the Home
Office.
In the election of lodge Of
ficers at recent annual lodge
meetings, a considerable num-
ber of new officers were cleo
ted. Among them are new Sec
retaries and presidents Of
sick committees.
Is is natural that their be-
ginning will be somewhat diff
ficult, but with the help of
their predecessors, and the
various departments in the
Supreme Office, every effort
will be exerted to be of assis-
tance to them with good ad-
vice, to enable them to carry
out their duties and business
of the lodge in accordance
with the requirements of the
existing bylaws, and to the
satisfaction of the member
ship and the Home Office.
Dept Recommendation
Since the lodge roster is
forwarded only to our lodge
secretaries, the presidents of
sick committees have no in
formation concerning any
member.
We would recommend that
the lodge secretaries give the
president of the lodge sick
committee the lodge member
ship roster at least twice an
nually, so that they may con-
veniently ascertain whether
or not a member is insured in
the sick and disability funds.
We do this for the rea-
son that it frequently hap
pens that a member will re-
port sick when he is not
insured on the sick benefit
fund and is not entitled to
receive sick benefits.
| l believe these instructions
are in good order and that
they will be of great benefit
| to all.
In case something is not
clear, do not get excited, but
simply write to the Supreme
Office for any information
that may be needed, and it
will be given gladly.

Sick Benefit Department Claim Forms
Should Be Accurate In Every Respect
Lodge Officers Can Help Great Deal
In Matter Of Expediting Claim Payments
BY John Ovcarich, Sec'y
Sick Benefit Department

~
Sick Benefit Department
PITTSBURGH - Recently.
we have been receiving, di-
rectly from physicians and
hospitals, various prin t e d
forms with reference to sick
and operation benefits of our
members.
Very frequently neither the
members name, lodge num-
Der nor certificate number
are shown.
These omissions cause
much unnecessary work to
the office personnel in the
Sick Benefit Department
before the name of the
member seeking sick or
operation benefits can be
ascertained.
Therefore, brothers a n d
sisters, lodge secretaries and
presidents of lodge sick COM
mittees, this Department ur-
ges and appeals that care be
exercised in the completion of
sick benefit claim forms, to
make certain that it shows
the name and surname of the
member, the number of his
lodge and membership certi-
ficate.
With this understanding, if
the hospital again sends in
some form we will be in a po-
sition to Immediately send it
to the lodge for completion
and return to the Home Of
flee for processing.
Concerning Payments
Seven years have gone by
since my election as Secretary
of this Department, whose
work and operations I super
wise.
Since have been in this
position, sick benefits and all
other claims are paid every
week.
Claims which reach the
Home Office by Wednes-s
day afternoon are pro-
cessed by the end of the
same week.
However, claims W h i c h
reach the Home Office after
Wednesday are paid at the
end of the following week.
Many of our lodge secreta-
ries and presidents of sick
committees are of the opin-
ion that sick benefits are paid
to the date when recommen-
dation for payment is made
This is not correct.
Cooperation Needed
All sick benefit claims are
considered as of the date
when the medical certificate
was completed by the physi'
clan treating the member.
