The Deluge

7 HERE is NO end to the young Amer
lean and Canadian members of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union who need more than
university education.
This was demonstrated In no uncertain
terms when the Directors of the Croatian
Fraternal Union Scholarship Foundation,
Inc, were to receive by the deadline for
same - June 80 - approximately $50 ap-
phcations from students who need financial
aid to see them through the rapidly ap-
preaching academic year 1959-196O
Because of the Foundations limited fl
nancial resources, it stands to reason that
only handful of those who filed applica-
tions will benefit in the end.
The Directors of the Foundation can do
only SO much with the 22,145O8 collected
to date, $4,000 of which was expended in
November of 1858 for 20 Scholarships.
How much remains to be seen.
X X X
The deluge of applications for educa-
tional help should do more than anything
else to arouse our American and Canadian
Lodges and members to the fact that with
out their support the Scholarship Founda-
ton is not long for this world.
Certainly the first who should heed the
call for contributions are those who have
graduated from a college or university and
went on to make their mark in life = those
who know only too we'll what it costs to
travel the painstaking road which leads to
higher education.
True, very few, if any, of the profess
sional members in mind ever received a
cent from the Croatian Fraternal Union
with which to further their educations
However, the Croatian Fraternal Union
Scholarship Foundation did not come into
existence before June 27, 1858, and prior to
that the Society was hamstrung in it's eff
forts to aid those who needed a helping
hand to make good in life.
So, that is neither here nor there inso-
far as the future is concerned
At the moment, the Foundation needs
the help of every CFU member of profess
sional background and seeks it in the words
of the Bible: 1T is more blessed to give
than to receive"

Salute To Omaha

Unity SEEMS to be an obsession with
~ our people residing in Omaha, Nebras-
ka, city playing a prominent role in the
Gus current Membership Campaign
To prove that there is ample room in
this world for those who believe in working
with their fellow men, the members of
"Sts. Peter and Paul. Croatian Fraternal
Union Lodge 101, Good Shepherd Croa-
tian Catholic Union Lodge 16 and those of
the Croatian Club will co-sponsor their An
nual Croatian Day Picnic and Program on
Sunday, July IL, at the SITS. Peter and Paul
School Grounds.
These members may belong to rival
fraternal organizations - the CF'U and the
ecu = but that doesn't ''cut any ice" with
them when it boils down to sponsoring
something which will elevate the standing of
all Croats on the Omaha scene
There should be a great deal more of
this brand of Omaha fraternizing; great
deal more of social and other cooperation
between CFU and ecu Lodges, Croatian
Churches, Croatian Clubs, and other Croat
organizations scattered throughout the Uni
ted States and Canada.
Cooperation fosters unity. Yes, unity.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The
Spirit of Croatian Youth"
Lodge No. 143, of McKees
Rocks, Pa, marked the thir-
tieth anniversary Of it's exis-
tence Saturday, June 18th.
The lodge was officially or
ganized June 8, 1929, and was
the sixth English-Speaking
Lodge to be organized in the
Society.
An examination of the So
ciety's annals will show that
from it's very beginning this
lodge, not far from the organ
ization's national headquar-
ters, was extremely active in
the promotion of sports and
education among the youth
within the Society.
In every issue Of the Off
cial organ, the "Zajednicar, "
in the years 193O-1-2-3-during
the great depression we
can see articles by active
members of the lodge, such
as Nick Komlyn, Sporcic,
Braidic, and so on.

activities in the field of

the election by the Supreme
Board of the present director

Brother Braidic has full

that year.
Within 10 years - by 1887
the Home had received hun
dreds of unfortunate waits
and in that year alone there
were 145 children under it's
protective roof.
From then on there has
been a steady decline in the
number of occupants - a
sure sign Of Improvement in
the general well being Of our
people and America a. a
whole.
Home For Hundreds
During the great depres-
sion the Home welcomed it's
record number of children.
There was, and is, another
very important factor affect
ing the Homes population. In
earlier years there were few,
if any, social agencies which
cared for orphaned children.
Nowadays every state has
numerous bodies which zeal
ously look after the interests
of these unfortunates. This
too is an Improvement with
which we certainly have no
quarrel.
Our Society has performed
a worthy service in the main
tenance of this institution. 1t

otherwise have been thrown

out into the streets.
In years gone by when our
people were, in the main, en-

work the Incidents Of fatal
accidents were numerous.
The bereaved mother had at
least the solace Of knowing
that that she could place her
children in 4 Home which

lost as was humanity possible.
She knew, too, that from
the standpoint Of material

would, in all probability, b

IN THE preceding chapter
] we dealt with a number Of
salient examples Of our CFU's
assistance to individuals and
groups, members and non
members visited by plague
and disaster the world over.
We showed that the Society
gave away hundreds Of thou
sands, yes, millions of dollars
in it's unique humanitarian
mission.
In this bright and vol
luminous array of benevo-
lences the brightest by far
is our Children's Home -
the crowning magnificence
of magnanimity.
It would be superfluous to
go into a detailed history of
the Home. We can simply say
that it began some four de-
cades ago when II lodges of
the then National Croatian
Society and the Croatian Lea
que of Illinois formed an
"Udruga" - federation -
for the purpose of rearing
the orphaned children of
Croats in America.
From the beginning the fed
Grafton was an autonomous
b ody receiving assistance
from both Societies and from
dedicated individuals.
Home Opened In 1927
With the merger of the So
cieties in 1926, the Croatian
Orphanage formally passed
into the hands of the CF'U and
was officially designated as
the Children's Home Of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Until We had the actual
physical plant or Home, a. it
is now developed, the fedora
tion gave moral and financial
assistance for the orphans
who were domiciled in various
