Mary Derifay's Highs
Aid Detroit Snarkies

Detroit, Mich. - Mary De-
rifay's seasonal highs, 200
494 on December 18th helped
the Sparks better the first
place grip in the Detroit La
dies League when they dealt
the Onyx Deuces a 81 re-
verse. Tops among the Deuces
was Emma Cuculich with 150-
4O6.
The second place Five
Stars used Jean Devich's 49,
492 to at least stalemate the
Onyx Ramblers led by Neva
Ruzich, 166-407. The Thirsty
Five much as the name must
imply swept the match with
the last place Jolly Etts. On
the steering committee for
the winners was Lillian Sve-
ticki, 183-479 and Dolly Cvet-
Mich, 174-465 with Diane Dar-
cey coming to life in the last
two games with 164-409.
Fourteen weeks have the
race appearing as a three
team affair with anything to
be expected considering that
the Jolly Etts % games out
of first place can lay claim to
2133- the best team three
game total for the season.

Lodge TT Membership
Should Cooperate More

Los Angeles, Calf. - The
close of the year brings with
it the necessity for our men,
bers of CFU Lodge 1T to
pause and take stock of their
Lodge and it's social and fl
nancial status.
We must be made to realize
that it is up to us to make
our Lodge function properly,
through mutual cooperation
from each and every affiliate.
1t is necessary that each
member pays his monthly
dues regularly and it is far
easier to fork over one pay
ment than when it accumu-
lates for a period of two and
three months.
Those of you who have not
received your annual divi-
dends as yet, please send in
your dues book to the secre-
tary and have this sum re-
corded. If there is any unpaid
balance in your book, we will
naturally deduct this from
the amount Of the dividend.
One more thing before we
close, and that is that many

For the third time this
bowling season, we with no
small sitting effort have
made a monthly recapitula-
ton of the higher scores
bowled at tenpins, duckpins
and five pins in our C.F.U.
sanctioned bowling leagues.
In listing these scores, we
wish to give added citation to
the men and women in our
ranks who in addition to their
prowess on the maple lanes
are mindful and proud
enough to do some or all of
their bowling under the Gro
attain Fraternal Union BAN
ner. We know, too, that per-.
haps only in a fraternal news
paper supported wholely by
the members themselves can
the lone individual bowler get
both the range and the vol
ume of publicity that is his in
the likes of the "Zajednicar."
The listing of the monthly
high scores was also purpoted
by the fact that we all like
to bring to the forefront
bowling marks that would de-
finitely look good anywhere
that bowling is ruminated.
Furthermore, we like to have
others beyond the CFU circle
know of our bowling feats.
To those of our member bowl
ing enthusiasts who, as yet
do not roll in a CFU league

Just as in sports so in
other phases of incidentals
pertinent to man, the Gro

In conclusion may we re-

Cage Quints To

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Basket
ball will in the weeks that
follow command a fair share
of attention among t h e
sports lovers. Our interest
will be directed mainly to
that basketball activity which
emanates among our Lodges

To partially boost such ac-
tivity, your Society, this sea-
son as in those past will
grant Lodge and Nest basket
ball teams cash appropri-
atoms to the extent of fifty
dollars ($500O) per team.
Would-be recipients to be eli
gible must report their acti-
vities in the Zajednicar at
regular intervals.
Once again as always, may
we stress the salient fact; do
not make the mistake Of play
ing as a C.F.U. outfit, locally,
during the basketball season
and then fail to give publici-
ty, win or lose, Of your ac-
tivity in the Zajednicar.
At the C.F.U. Sports-Edu-

available forms to expedite
reporting your games. Please
write to us, either as an in
dividual or the lodge sports
director on the possibility of
organizing a C.F.U. basket

Society PREPARED
To Provide PLAYS

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Over the
recent months we have re-
ceived requests from scatter
ed sections of the country for
Croatian plays.
The enacting of a play,
Croatian or English, is good
for creating another sidelight
to our Lodge life. The prac-
tees leading to the day when
the general public sees the
play afford the members of
the cast a medium of gath
ering oftener than the once
a month Lodge meetings.
Assuming a part in the cast
should fall to younger people
in the Lodge rather than, as
is often the case, the older
members. A part in the play
may give some American or
Canadian born member an
opportunity to all the better
acouaint himself or herself
with the mother tongue, Gro
atian. Even taking part in an
English language play has it's
merits and fits well into fra
ternal aspects.
For plays to embellish your
Lodge or Nest social pro-
gram, we ask that you write
to the Sports-Educational De-
partment at the Home Office
where same are available
with the compliments Of the
Croatian Fraternal Union. In
many cases we can give you
sufficient copies of the-play
you select to make unneces-
sary any transcribing by you
locally.
