st. Louis, Mo. - The men,
bers of Lodge SO are hereby
notified of a change in the
regular meeting date from the
3rd Sunday Of each month to

This change is effective in

cite, at 800 PM.
At the annual meeting the
members voted 3 to l in fa-
vor of the change, reflecting
the consensus of opinion of
the members in the straw vote
balloting which was done by
members sending their opin-
ion by postcard to the com.
mittee in charge Of finding
the preference Of the mem.
bers.
The results show that mem.
bers wished to be freed OF
a meeting on a Sunday, as ii
denied them a full day off
with their families, and also
gave an indication that more
members will be present al
our regular meetings, as they
absented themselves from the
past meetings because of the
unfavorable day and time.

event in the past who have
signified that they will be on
deck, come January 31st, to
partake of the 1854 Sweep
stakes.
Alleys will be at our dispo-
sal from 100 PM. in the af-
ternoon with the last squads,
definitely, not to take to the
alleys later than 500 Pm.
It is absolutely imperative
that all squads start on time
Sunday, for more than 400
lines were already on the
books over the past weekend
and prospects for more were
a definite possibility. Again,
please be on time, start on
time, and finish on time!
This is a must in order that
the C.F.U. Sports-Ed Educational
Department, which manages
this years event, can an
nounce the winners and a.
ward the C.F.U. trophies at
the March of Dimes Dance
later that evening in the Cro-
atian Home, Fourth and An
tisbury Streets, Rankin.
Recalling 1853 Champs
The winners if you recall
in 1858 were Barbara Toni
chek of Etna, Pa, as the Wo-
mems Singles champ with
412. Lou Srsic of the Pitpas
took it among the men with
587.
The Women's Doubles was
taken by Ann Komar and Jo-

sephine Prevish of Lodge 720
of Aliquippa with a 756 pin
fall. Frank Brletic and John
Brletic of Wilmerding Lodge
AZ took male dual honors
with 1884.
The Mixed Doubles event,
the only one which does not
exact that both bowlers must
be from the same Lodge, was
won by Anne Papa and Pete
Papa, husband and wife,
who come from Liberties
Lodge 234 and Etna Lodge 4,
respectively.
At two dollars ($2.0O) per
bowler per event, we feel that
the entry is very reasonable
and still will allot some Pc
cuniary lettuce to those who
don't finish tops in their
bracket.
We trust that this 1854
Dux Sweepstakes taking
place at the Strand Alleys,
1909 Forbes Street, in the
Oakland District of Pitts
burgh, will be the occasion
for metropolitan Pittsburgh's
C. F. U. duckpin addicts to
partake Of both bowling and
a little fraternal associating,
both a good tonic for you the
individual and the Society
where you are one of it's
stockholders.

The Arrangements Com
mittee, comprised of the rep
resentatives from ten Of our
Lodges and Nests, as we'll as
the active representatives of
many other beneficial and
cultural institutions in Cleve-
land, can take pride in the
success achieved.
The very fact that the con-
cert in the afternoon and the
dance in the evening was at
tended by approximately two
thousand people is the best
kind of proof Of the high re-
spect and regard which our
people in Cleveland and vici-
nifty have for John Birek and
his work.
Young People Attracted
| believe it can be safely
said that there is not one 9TH
er individual or organization
among our people in Cleveland
who could attract such a
capacity gathering in these
times.
Perhaps that was possible
some twenty or thirty years
ago, when our people grouped
together more, but today,
with people scattered over
large areas, and considering
that our younger people have
very little interest for our
national undertakings and or
ganizations, a celebration of
this scope is a rarity.
1t is worthy of special men
ton and praise that at the
celebration under discussion
our young people were very
much in evidence, both in the
program and in the audience.
The participants in the
program were pleasurably ex-
cited by the wave Of enthusi-
asm evident from the very
start Of the program until its
close.
Program Pleases ThrOng
From the opening of the
festivities by our old timer
and honorary chairman, bro
ther Frank Masokato, and
right on through to the con-
Guiding number, the singing
of God Bless America, al
most three hours later, we
witnessed such an impressive
display of talent that it is
difficult to describe the indi-
vidual appearances by the
various choral groups, tam.
buritza orchestras, kolo dan,
GERS and soloists otherwise
than with a hearty "Wel
done!'
We were pleased to hear
for the first time the male
choral group ANTE Starce'
VIC. The playing by the Obi
ser" tamburitzans Of Conway
Pa, was most pleasing, anc
as for the tamburitza Orches'

Brothers of Chicago, they
were in top form, as always.
The singing societies "Sla

ditions with their usual ex.
cellence, and Cleveland's kolc
dancers "Slavulj' and Aces
performed with high spirit.

they fear some inducement
may have been offered to
Molotov in the form Of con-
cessions on the French atti-
tude toward the European
army, and that the Soviet
Foreign Minister may have
promised q more friendly
policy toward France If the
nanpower Of West Germany
could somehow be prevented
from being used to bolster the
military efficiency of NATO.
Whatever attitude France
may finally adopt on the sub
ject OF the collective defense
of Western Europe, our diplo-
mats are not likely to be
taken by surprise. The French
have been dragging their feet
on the subject of edo for
more than two years. The
succession Of Premiers who
have held the reins OF govern

seen eye to eye with us ON the
matter Of edo but have all
been unable to bring about

to sweep France.
Before the summer is over,
we are likely to hear the
French arguing eloquently for
q change In the Vests atti-
tudes toward the u. s. s. r.
They will be convincing, to
some wishful thinkers In the
free world. NATO (the story
will say) was created at q time
when 1t seemed that a Rus
sian rampage through West
ern Europe was imminent and
when the intransigeant Stain
was boss In the Kremlin. But
now (the fairy tale viii 60 on)
o new Russia has emerged
under new leadership. Thus
the existence Of q military
coalition for defense against
Soviet attack has become SUI
perfluous. Friends Of the new
look" may declare they favor
the retention Of NATO such
as 1t is in its present form.
