most, da pogledamo karakter 1
pozitivni bratski rad ovog naseg
danas pokojnoga brata, koji je ne
ocekivano zivotom nastradao / ci-
ju sliku ovdje donosimo.
Nikola Skupnik je stupio u re-
dove Hrvatske Narodne zajednice
Illinois, a danasnja HBZ, 4-tog
oktobra 1908, sto iznosi so godina.
Zlatni znak, koji je takodjer sti-
gao jedan mjesec prekasno. Pokoj-
nj brat Skupnik je zamolio ma go
disnjoj sjednicu nasu tajnicu, ses-
tru Saric, da Sc informira kod Ia
jednice "a njegov pedeset godisnji
znak nase zajednice, do koje je
on mnogo drzao cijenio zadnjih
SO godina radio. Nasa tajnica je
njegovoj zelji zadovoljila obeca-
nu rijec izvrsila poslije njegove
smrti. Lijepo je priznao brat Bella
mas glavni tajnik, pregledanu gre
sku Zajednice. Jako mu je lao da
znak nije stigao ma ruke pokoj-
nom bratu. Zamolio je nasu tai
nicu da, znak izruci njegovoj ia
miliji.
Brat Skupnik je rodjen u aprilu
1888. u selu Ivancici nedaleko Ia
greba, Hrvatska Nikola Skupnik
je vrsio sve odbornicke casti u
odsjeku, osim predsjednika, punih
81 godina. U to vrijeme nije nikad
bio zastupnik ma konvenciji svog
odsjeka. Kad Sc on povukao sa
aktivnosti' u pasivne redove, on je
izjavio ovo: ia sam 65 godina
star nisam stanju da vrsim nj
kakovi rad, nj fizicki nj umni,
da nasa HBZ nije ona koja je bila
SO godina natrag, nego je ona pod
okolnostima vremena razvoja
postala svojina americkih Hrvata,
koja brani i stiti interese sviju
nas". On je apelirao ma prisutno
clanstyo, da postavi ma njegovo
mjesto mladjega clana, koji od-
govara modernom danasnjem ru-
kovodstvu, nase mile / drage Hr-
vatske Bratsle Zajednice. Ovo su
rijeci brata Nikole Skupnpika ma

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--At one
point during last evenings four

to Jackie Gleason in New York,

"You're coming through 100

and lecturer John Mason Brown
bitterly.
Behan, the Irish playboy and
playwright, was hardly in any
condition for an exchange Of
ideas on the art of conversa-
ton. In fact he could hardly
converse at all. Mr.. Behan was,
to put it frankly, stoned. And
when he wasn't breaking in
with rambling, pointless stories,
he was bursting into unintelli-
gible song.
After the middle commercial,
however, he was seen no more.
But while he was part Of small
World" he certainly stole the
show. BY contrast, things were
pretty dull after he disappeared
It is interesting that the
show was permitted air time
by CHS. Behan was obviously
loaded when the show was req
orded and filmed almost q

Ed Murrow gave us in con-
Iformity with CHS new moth
