Detroit Mothers Announce Winners
Of July 22nd "Orahnjača Contest"
Detroit, Mich. On July
22, 1956, the Mothers Club of
CFU Nest 318 sponsored an
"orahnjača contest" at the
Lodge 351 Picnic. Our Lodge
executive board, who acted
as judges, had a hard but en
viable job of picking out the
winners.
After much sampling they
came to the following deci

English Editor Lauded For Speech
(Continued from Page 7)
Naturally a C.F.U. picnic
without speakers is unheard
of. Using rare foresight and
courtesy to the speakers, the
United Lodges halted the sale
of drinks during the short
speaking program. In using
the term short, we are not be
ing facetious, it really was,
lasting only: About a half
hour.
The behavior of the audi
ence during the program
made us proud to be South
Chicagoans.
The courtesy and attention
extended the speakers will re
main with us as a pleasant
memory. No public address
system would have been ne
cessary, so quiet was the au
dience. Possibly the novelty
of having a speaker whom
few of us had seen or heard
before accounted for the rapt
attention. Whatever it was,
it was good to see.
After short talks by a num
ber of distinguished C. F. U.
members and introduction of
other dignitaries, bro. Ste
phen F. Brkich, English Ed
itor of the Zajedničar, was in
troduced as the principal
speaker.
It was our first opportuni
ty to hear bro. Brkich. He
left a very favorable impres
sion with us and with all from
whom we heard comment,

ment.
Opening with a light, Jo
cular vein, Bro. Brkich de
veloped his talk to the
more serious aspects of the
C.F.U. and fraternalism.
Praising the work done in
the past by the old pio
neers, he also expressed
confidence in the future
and cited examples of unity
and fraternalism in action
at present.
We who are somewhat rus
ty in the Croatian language
appreciated an English lan
guage speaker whom we
could understand without
having to ask the oldsters to
render what is often a gar*
bled translation.
Bro. Brkich said that he
will be in charge of one of the
C.F.U. groups visiting Yugo
slavia thiB summer. We don't
envy him his job but feel
confident that he will repre
sent the Croatian Fraternal
Union with ability, dignity
and honor.
Our thanks to the United
Lodges for an enjoyable day
and to all those who worked
to make it poss Ne. We also
thank the Editors of the "Z"
for giving space to our com
ments and permitting those
of us who also serve, though
mostly in silence, to let oui"
small voice be heard.
