1t is with a sense of deep

that we grasp this opportu-
nifty to express our gratitude
to these fine members who
made many sacrifices and
whose untiring efforts fos-
tered the brotherhood and
understanding which were vi
tally needed in those early
trying days when the CFU
was Just a small and strug-
CLING fraternal organization.
In those days our forefa-
theirs needed fraternalism so
much that they risked all to
keep it growing. Many of us
today have lost faith in this
need for brotherhood and un-
thinkingly toss it aside with
little effort.
Over the years many have
tended to become mere spec
tators of the things which
keep the CFU a strong and
growing democratic organi-
zation. We watch a few vote
for Lodge officers, then grippe
because the wrong man gets
in office and fraternalism
suffers.

AT the park a large Altar was
set up with the words Behold
Thy Mother" on both sides of
the altar were beautiful red
and white lilies. The principal
speaker was father O'Leary,
Missionary Priest who
previously conducted three
weeks Of Missions in the Is
land, each drawing large aud
fences. He also acted as a kind
of master of ceremonies. He
spoke in both English and
Spanish.
The procession, in which
all the Catholic congregations
island-wide joined, was so
long that when the first group
reached the wharf area the
end was still beyond Sunday
Market near to the starting
point near the Church.
Headed by a Color Guard,
a group of Acolytes led the
parade, followed by Thur
lands Band, a group Of girls
