Present T a m m e s and
Alumni members of the Sr.

that go hand in hand with
Tamburitza culture.
Word of the great ad-
vancements in the Tambu-
rita Arts have spread as
far north as Massachusetts

that he has propogated tam

This movement in Tambur-
itza preservation in America
- the only School of Music
Of its kind in the country -
is just another reason why Jo-

given the Duquesne Universe

McKeesport, Clarion, Am
bridge, Trafford, Aliquippa,
Johnstown, Cokeburg, and
Mather.
Graduates of the Junior
groups, well-trained and
rounded in Tamburitza Arts,
are among those that flow
into the Senior Tamburitzans
Of Duquesne. Because so ma
ny other cities have followed
into the Tammie Schools, or
are beginning and clamoring
to follow, the Junior Groups,
along with the Senior Du-
quesne Tamburitzans, have
completely altered the Tam
buritzan scene in America to-
day.
Mr.. Kolar for the past
two years has no longer
been able to handle the
growing groups by himself.
Fe has turned the 'lion's
share" of the Junior
Schools over to former
TamburitZan Don KneZe-
vich, who is the chief in
structor in the movement.

Disabled Workers
Eligible For Help

PITTSBURGH - Self-em-
ployed CFU accountants, ar
chitects, funeral directors, en-
gineers and clergymen who
came under the Social Secur-
ity Law for the first time in
January 1855, are qualified to
apply beginning October of
this year for disability pro-
lection, according to Oral A.
Ernst, District Manager, East
Liberty Social Security office.
Disabled CFU workers
between the age of 50 and
65 may receive monthly
disability insurance bene-
fits after being disabled six
months or longer.
A disabled worker under
age so can make application
to have his earnings record
frozen 80 that the years when
he is unable to work because
of his disability will not low
er the amount Of his future
benefit nor the amount pay
able to any dependents.
To qualify for this disabi-
lity protection, a worker must
/ have worked under Social Sc
curity for at least five years.
These five years could have
been at any time during the
1O-year period before the dis
ability began.
MIR. Ernst suggests that
any disabled self-emDloyed
worker who came under So
cial Security in January
1855 and who has had net
earnings of $500 or more

William c. Mitchell, Com
missioner of the Social Sc
curity Administration, said
that: There is a substantial
amount of unmet need in this
country with regard to the
financial ability of many old
er persons to live as self-re-
specting American citizens.
According to one estimate,
an elderly couple owning a
home in an average suburban
area would need $1,000 to
cover basic needs in 1859. If
they lived in New York City
in rented quarters, they
would need about $4,000.
A nonworking woman in
rented quarters needs about
81, 500, that is $133-a-month

For many Americans, old

to General John F. Mcmahon
Commander-in Chief of the
Volunteers of America.
General Mcmahon told
the Subcommittee that
American society rejects

them out on the tundra of

tribes once treated their

Senator Mcnamara said
"We do not need any exhau

older citizens are too made

Don't Blame Us

"A ANY HAVE BEEN the complaints
IVi registered with the Home Office in re-
cent weeks regarding the late arrival Of the
Zajednicar in numerous CFU centers in the
United States and Canada.
According to Pittsburgh Postmaster
James c. Smith, the delay - since remedied
- was caused by the installation here of a
mechanized mail handling arrangement and
the relocation of outgoing and incoming
mail sections which handle the processing
of such papers as the Zajednicar.
The Pittsburgh Post Office did it's best
under the circumstances to expedite the
mails, but couldn't overcome the odds a.

In other words, it was one of those
things that couldn't be helped

Accent On Youth!
THE INCOMING Supreme F

THE INCOMING Supreme Board of the
Croatian Fraternal Union, slated to
take office Nov. 16, 1859, will be the young
est such governing body in the 65-year-old
annals of the Society.
The die for this "quiet revolution" was
cast during the Socety's 10th Natl Quad
rennial Convention held Sept 21-26, 1859,
at Detroit, when the Delegates tapped six
vor,oer men to lead them through the will
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1959-10-21

Stanley r. Juracich, 38, South Chicago,
ILL.,, was the Convention Secretary, and Ber
nard M. Luketich, %, Cokeburg Penna,
and Michael j. Canic, 81, Vancouver, Bri-
tish Columbia, Canada served as the Assis-
tant Secretaries.
. Obviously satisfied with the outcome
of their accent On Youth" gamble during
the 10th Convention, the Delegates decided
as the gathering neared it's end to include
some younger blood in the veins of the in
coming Supreme Board.
They began the operation by promoting
Milan Vranes, 46, from End to 1st Supreme
Vice President. Next, they elected, by accla-
nation, bro Rady as the new End Supreme
Vice President, and gave bro. Canic the run
off election nod for the office of the 3rd Su-
preme Vice President.
Bros. Juracich and Luketich made it as
members of the Board of Trustees in the
first voting for the seven seats in that body,
whereas bro. Glavas had to go through
runoff election before he could come up
with Trusteeship.
Thus it was that of the six men who
handled the administration of the 10th Con-
vention - bros. Rady, Glavas, Verbanic,
Juracich, Luketich, and Canic - only bro.
Verbanic was to fail in his bid to become an
official of the Society,"
He sought to unseat incumbent Supreme
President " l. Mandich and lost out in
r1noff election showdown.
The average age of these five new men,
bers of the Supreme Board?

PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH - IF the
Duouesne University Tambu-
ritzan's School of Music gets
any bigger, I'm going to have
to incorporate it into another
business concern under the
laws of P e nns sylvania,"
laughed Mr.. Walter w. Kolar,
managing-director of the Du-
quesne Tammies and head of
the Tammie School Of Music.
It all began five years ago
- in June of 1854, to be ex-
act - when a small group
consisting of 43 interested
boys and girls, along with
Mr.. Kolar and his vast dream
of Junior Tamburitza Schools
throughout the country, a
dream which seemed unat-
tainable at the time, met in
the small, cramped basement
of the Tamburitzan dormitory
located on the campus of Du-
quesne University.
This seemingly unattain-
able dream, appearing to be
ages out of reach on that
June afternoon when the
Junior Tamburitzans were
born, has blossomed to vast
proportions - so vast that
it sounds almost incredible.
The daily hours of recopy-
ing scores upon scores of mu-
sic, travelling, training, and
publicizing, and good old
fashioned sweat put into this
! program by Mr.. Kolar, along
with his assistant, Mr.. Steve
Kovacev, has finally turned
this goal into a reality to be
we'll proud of.

Gary GIee Club
In Regular Meets
Singers Looking
Ahead To Festival

AIltdu lO ICSClNdl
GARY, Ind. - The delight
full summer vacation is now
relegated to the past, and the
m m bers of "Preradovic"
Glee Club are entering the
1959-60 Season. Rehearsals
are scheduled for every We'd
nesday evening, between 8
and 10 pm. in the club rooms
Of the glee club located at
1869 Broadway.
All members and would-be
members are urged to attend
rehearsals Immediately as the
glee club will launch on a pro-
gram of new songs which will
be their repertoire for the
spring concert and the music
festival of the American Cro-
attain Singers Federation (Sa-
vez) to be held in Cleveland,
Ohio, in the month of May.
We are appealing to both
young and old to join our
choir, as the sole objective
of our glee club is to con-
tinue our CrOatian heritage
and preserve the song and
culture.
This is the objective of all
the Croatian Glee Clubs
throughout the United States
who valiantly struggle to pre-
serve the fine music of the
Croatian people.
Numerous me m b e RS Of
these many glee clubs have
devoted their entire lives to
this very inspiring and artis-
tic cause, for they found sat-
isfaction in good song in the
company of their fellow sing
ers. .t
History has trod back and
forth across the lands of Gro
alta and the fine arts of those
past centuries have been pre-
served and handed down to
the present.
However, all is not just
hard work at weekly rehear-
sails, if you can call singing
hard work. Once you have
joined our forces you will
find that many social hours
are spent, friends are made
in your locality, and through
travel with the glee club one
=, finds new friends in other To-
calities, and the horizon Of
friendship broadens from
coast to coast.
All who wish to be active
members Of PreradOvic,
who wish to participate in
the coming activities and
travels of the glee club, are
herewith notified that re-
hearsals for the new pro-
gram are starting imnedi-
ately and rehearsals must
be attended faithfully.
We welcome all who wish to
join us in song - but we ask
that you join now - please
do not wait until later in the
season join Preradovie
now!

that some changes should be made in re-

the Board of Trustees, they returned every
permanently stationed Home Office official
to his post.
Reelected were the Supreme President
Supreme Secretary (by acclamation), Su-

Croatian Editor, English Editor (by accla-
