THE EXECUTIVE BOARP AT WORK
-OFFICIAL MINUTES
WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1956
The Supreme President,, brother Mandich, opened the
Session with greetings. All members of the Board and
Officials were present except the Supreme Secretary, bro
ther Bella, who is vacationing.
Brother Ovcarich read the minutes of the previous meet
ing, held June 27, and same were approved as read.
Brother Ovcarich in the absence of the Supreme Sec
retary, brother Bella, presents the following cases in the
Supreme Secretary's Department:
Lodge 22 Mirko Volarić named his parents as bene
ficiaries who predeceased the member. Upon receiving the
necessary documents, the Board approved the payment of
death benefits to his brother Janko Volarić.
Lodge 522 Luka Bogdan (deceased), cert. 47630, ex
hausted his reserve and was eligible for National Fund.
The lodge secretary informs the office that there is unpaid
funeral bill in the amount of $51.00. The Board approved
payment out of the National Fund.
The Executive Board approved the following bills for
payment.
$158.67 Edward B. Servov, Legal Counsellor for attend
inga conference with New York Insurance Department.

dered in June.
The Board unanimously agreed to order 5,000 copies
(3,000 for Senior Department and 2,000 for Junior Depart
ment) of Dunne's Insurance Statistics Report.
Brother Vukelich, Croatian Section Editor, was dele
gated to attend the 20th Anniversary of singing society
"Slavulj" in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 2, 1956, at
their expanse.
Brother Mandich made the following report on his
stay in Chicago on July 3-4:
Immediately on arrival in Chicago, I learned that I was
to meet Miss Irene Gagaoudaki, Licensing Representative
of the Department of Public Welfare, State of Illinois at
3:30 P.M. Having sufficient time at my disposal, I visited
our Actuary, Mr. Harley N. Bruce, and his son in their of
fices on the outskirts of the city of Chicago. We discussed
various matters which come up daily in connection with
our new CSO tables of rates in both departments.
In extensive conversation with Miss Gagaoudaki, I also
learned that the Department of Public Welfare found ob
jection with the statement made by our member of the
Supreme Board, Sister Niksic, with reference to children's
homes in the state of Illinois, as reported in the Minutes of
the Supreme Board of last March. I gave my own explana
tion of the case, and believe that it was settled to the satis
faction of the Welfare Department.
The same evening, I attended the first joint meeting
of the members of Lodges Nos. 39 and 290, at which new
officers were elected for the balance of the year, and the
number and name of the lodge decided upon. In behalf of
the Executive Board, I expressed satisfaction at the con
solidation of the two lodges, stressing that it was entirely
indicative of the spirit of true and sincere fraternal co
operation among the members of South Chicago, so nicely
evidenced during the current campaign for new member
ship. I congratulated the old and reliable officers who led
these lodges through a great many years, and extended my
best wishes for success to the new lodge officers to be elect
ed at that meeting. I took leave before the elections, for I
had promised to attend the regular meeting of the Children's
Home Board at Des Plaines that evening.
I arrived at Des Plaines at 10:00 p.m. The Children's
Home Board and Superintendent had a meeting with rep
resentatives of the local school board, with which an agree
ment was arrived at earlier for rental of certain buildings
on the Children's Home grounds which are not being used,
for classrooms. A new school building is under construction,
but will not be completed until next February. Details of
the agreement will be submitted to us when ready and ap
proved by the school board.
The next day, at the invitation of the Children's Home
Board, I attended the annual picnic on the grounds of the
Children's Home. Despite the fact that the picnic was be
ing held on a weekday, a Wednesday, the response of the
membership and friends was satisfactory.
During the entire afternoon spent with our member
ship, I was met with none but the kindest words of praise
of the Croatian Fraternal Union, as well as the harmonious
and successful efforts of the Administration.
Even though there is some derogatory writing being
done in some Croatian newspapers concerning our current
membership campaign, on the grounds" of the Children's
Home, I did not hear one single word of objection or criti
cism from neither our membership, nor other visitors, but
only words of praise and encouragement for the continu
ation of our work in the present manner.
A statement of expenses for my trip and stay in Chi
cago and vicinity on business of the Children's Home, a
mount to $150.60, which will be paid from the Children's
Home Funfl.
The Executive Board decided to print 1,500 copies (book
form) of the Ninth Convention minutes.
Brother Ovcarich, Secretary of the Sick Benefit De
partment, presented to the Board the following cases:
Brother Joseph Crnarich, member of Lodge 780, sub
mitted a letter to the Board pertaining to his disability ben
efits. Brother Ovcarich explains that he was paid according
to section 288 of the old By-Laws and that he is not entitled
to further benefits. The Board instructed the Supreme Med
ical Director to write to brother Crnarich and explain the
matter.
Lodge 84 Brother Ivan Maričić, cert. B-495, under
went an operation before the merger of the Croatian Broth
erhood with the C.F.U. even though he did not submit his
claim until after the merger, the Board approved the pay
*ment of said operation.
Brother Frank Braidic, Sports Director, presented to
the Board the following reports:
The Duquesne University reinbursed the amount of
$25.57 commission of Nationality Festival tickets.
Northern California Central Committee submitted a
letter pertaining to expenses of conducting the Bowling
Tournament. Advisory Council recommends that the a
mounts of $96.00 is given to California and Montana for
tournament expenses. Further the Advisory Council re
commends that the amount of $20.00 is to be paid for pic
tures of the Southern California Tournament. The Board
considers said recommendation and approves the payments
of same.
There being no further business to transact the Supreme
President, brother Mandich, adjourned the meeting at 12:30
P.M.
The Croatian Fraternal
Union is the largest organiza
tion of its kind on earth.
John Ovcarich, Secretary Sick Benefit Dep't.
It's your Croatian Fra
ternal Union. Build, boost it
wherever you go.
