A Brief Story Of Nopredek Lodge No. 1872
Of Euclid, Ohio =. .z,.=:' ...~ ~.

The Napredek Lodge No. 132
AFU (ABZ) of Euclid, Ohio,
will celebrate its 25th anniver.
sary on September list 1916.
This lodge was organized
January 1921 at the home of
the now deceased Frank Bait,
With the help of Frank Bait and
Frank Zorich, members OF
Lodge No. 81, Cleveland, Ohio,
Leo Kornicnik organized this
branch, which is now called Ma
predek No: 1872. The first execu.
tive board was composed of
Frank Bait, president; Vincent
Peskar, Sr., Treasurer; Leo
Kornicnik, secretary. From the
beginning the meetings were
held at the home of the Presi.
dent, now they are being held
at the Slovenian Society Home
Recher Ave-, Euclid, Ohio.
The membership was growing
gradually, until the depression
then we lost members faster
than we could enroll them. Then
from 1885 to 1943 when our now
very active vice-president, John
Enakopravnost. [volume] (Cleveland, O.[Ohio]) 1918-1957, 1946-08-23

Tanko, ST., was elected secre-
.tary, things began to change.
The membership grew from 16O
to nearly 400 members. Then in
1943 I took over and / am trying
to keep it going at the same
pace; to date our membership
lis 451. This lodge and organiza-
tion has plenty action and &C
tivities, also the insurance is
very good, come in and inquire
about it.. s:r~.c .... =.
Last December we decided
this being our 25th anniver-
sary we should celebrate, and
we were all for it 1000. There
is a lot of work involved in it
especially the drinks, as you all
know. Hope the members keep
cooperating, so there will be
plenty of everything.
The 25th anniversary pro-
gram will be held Sept. 1, 1916.
at the Slovenian Society Home,

Lake Shore News
American Legion
Post No. 273

The basket outing August 4,
1916, on Mr.. and Mrs. Mihelich's s
beautiful farm was just wonder
full as everyone attending had a
super time. The picnickers were
rather late in coming which is
not unusual with this gang, but
by 4:30 just before we had a
brief rainfall the population of
Painsville was increased con-
siderably. The rain did more
good than damage. Perhaps the
only damage that occurred was
the soaking of the regulation
Lake Shore Post Cap which was
posted at the entrance of the
farm.
The Mohar's, especially Joe,
got a break. After travelling a
good portion of the West, fin
ally got the opportunity to set
up their tent. A contraption
that takes only short time to
rig up, and Joe sure brags about
it with his, would you believe
me, it takes only ten minutes"
We believe you, Joe. Period. !"
The farm really was in it's
splendor, with various flowers
in full bloom. The vegetables in
the garden were expanding with
some of them ready for the table.
The spacious lawn was cool and
green and cut very keen. No
wonder! Those charming twin
daughters had a hand in that
project.
We missed the beautiful sing
ing of the wrens as they were
busy taking care of their young
ones, but the community singing
made up for that. Lou Trebar
helped them with selections on
his accordion. J. J. Kolar also
gave us some tunes on his har-
monica.

OUR TRIP TO ARIZONA
Frank E. Cecelic

AAC oCCO1u Ody VI Oul stay III
Phoenix, we decided to take a
ride down town. We saw some
of the town by night, the night
we arrived. Now we would see
it by day.
Waiting for the bus on the
corner of the street, that the
Legans live on, we were hailed
by the bartender of the Old
Time Tavern, just across the
street. We had only met him
once, and he gave us such a
hearty "hello," we felt as
though we were old, old friends.
That also, is a very noticeable
difference between the East and
the West. Once you're met, you
are never forgotten. '''
Everywhere along the road
you see the date palms and or
ange groves that are quite pre-
dominate. The buildings of
Phoenix do not tower very high
into the sky. They rather spread
over a large area of ground.
Shopping centers include such
familiar names as we have here
in Ohio. Montgomery Ward,
Sears Robuck Co., Lerner's
shops and a large McCorry
Chain Store. Typical of western
cities is the many Boots and
Saddle shops.
On one side street.. north of
Main Ave. we counted IL such
shops. Complete outfit for both
the horse and rider can be OBJ
tained. Outside Browns Boots
and Saddle Shop on Jefferson
St. we saw a nag tied to the
hitching rail. The horse was
really ready for pasture. Not
stopping for a second look, I
entered the store in search of a
western leather belt and a shirt.
The walls of the shop are
lined with every type of western
leather goods, including saddles,
belts, lariets, saddle bags and
straps, moccasins, just to men,
tion a few.
Seeing that the salesman was
busy helping a young man Sc
lect an outfit, I was browning
about the shop. After what
seemed like time enough to buy
many outfits, I glanced over to
the two and could see that the
customer was on his way out.
The salesman come over to
where I was looking at some
moccasins I intended to buy for
my mother-in-law, Mrs. Joseph
inc Skedel. He asked me if I
had seen the man who was lust
leaving. I remarked yes and
then he proceeded to tell me
that the man bought a saddle
and outfit costing SIS and
clothes for $94.
I didn't want to appear too.

said, HE must have a beautiful

dow. My eyes followed his gaze
and there was the young man
who had been in the shop, at
taching the saddle to the beat up
old nag that had been tied to
the hitching rail.
The shop owner and I ex-
changed glances and he said to
me, '"The fella told me he paid
$25 for the horse"
I have mentioned this Incl
dent because it also proves that
our West is all out for showing
themselves, money being no OBJ
ject.
In McCrory's dime and dollar
store we picked up post cards to
mail back home to wish every
one they were in Phoenix with
us.
With the sinking of the sun
and deep shadows that were
creeping upon us, we also re-
ceiVed notice from our stom-
achs, reminding us we hadn't
eaten our evening meal.
One block over from Public
square we found the Grand Res
taurant. It was recommended to
us by our hostess as being a
comfortable place to eat and to
enjoy a floor show also.
Entering the restaurant we
felt as though we were walking
on air, such padded carpeting
we walked on. My wife didn't
hesitate to remind me that she
would be most happy to own
such carpeting. I nodded my
head, not knowing what I meant
by the gesture.
The furniture was heavily
carved oak and mahogany stam-
led, that had red leather uphols-
terry. A strike of opposite, COM
bining the modern present day
trimmings, to the heavy furni-
ture of near than a decade ago.
To the right and situated far
ther back was a raised, half cir
Gle platform serving as a stage.
Round poles encircled it and a
fence was seen protruding a lit
tie on each side.
We were serenaded by a girl
who rendered some lovely tunes
on her violin accompanied by
the piano.
After eating a delicious
supper we flipped a coin to see
whether we'd go to see a movie
or walk around the town. The
coin resulted in going to a movie
at the famous Orpheum Thea
ter. Very much in comparison to
the Palace Theater here in
shows on Sundays. Winners
Cleveland, giving vaudeville
from Major Bowes Amateur

not very much for an evening
of good entertainment. Plenty
of refreshments will be on hand
for all that desire them. In event
that the day is spoiled by rain,
the program will go ahead as
scheduled and will be held on
the inside. So let us remember
to keep that day in reserve for
the dedication in honor of our

made out of granite and all the
names on the honor roll are all
carved in, you have to be there
to see how nice it looks. Auto
matte lights will be installed
around the monument, so that
it will be seen at night.
The committees are looking
forward to every member of
their respective lodges and their
friends to attend the affair and
show the committees their ap-
probation for the work that
they have given to establish this
memorial monument in remem-
brance of our soldiers and girls
who have sacrificed to make
this world a peaceful and secure
one.
