Sudbury Lodges Stage Two-Day Fiesta
In Honor Of Croatian Fraterna| Union
Miss Mary Hreljac Crowned Queen During
Festivities CO-Sponsored By Four Lodges

operating with the committee
in charge of the contest.
The celebration of June 5-6
in honor of the CFU's Dia-
mond Jubilee was a tremen-
dous success. Crowds far ex-
ceeding the fondest hopes of
the four Lodges behind the
undertaking stormed Sudbury
both days and enjoyed them
selves thoroughly as our
guests.
Guest of honor of the
Lodges was Philip Vukelich,
Pittsburgh, Croatian Section
Editor of the Zajednicar. Bro.
Vukelich was very warmly
received and left with us
words which we will long re-
member. No one who heard
bro. Vukelich can any longer
doubt the greatness of the
Croatian Fraternal Union, nor
what the Society means to
our people here in the Domin-
ion and across the border in
the United States.
Further details regarding
the celebration of June SO
will appear on these pages

We are fortunate, also, in
having obtained the services
of a young miss, Nevenka U.s.
mian, the daughter of Andrew

Gently came to this country.
Nevenka obtained her educa-
ton in Zagreb and will give
us several accordion rendi-
tions and, at the same time,
sing a few of our old time
favorites from the Old Coun-

Along with these attrac-

hot barbecued lamb and cool

in every way.
Join us, won't you, friends

our great Croatian Fraternal

extended to all Croatians,

CFU's New Film
Is Worth Showing

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Central
Committees and Lodges plan
ming events in this the 60th
Anniversary Jubilee of the
Society have at their discre-
ton the use of the film,
"This Is Your Croatian Fra
ternal Union!"
The film was shown this
past spring and early summer
in various sectors of the coun-
try. 1t is still available to such
Central Committees and Lod-
ges as will make application.
The picture and the nara
ton are on one single film
which simplifies the showing.
Experience has shown that a
Bell-Howell or a R.C.A. pro-
jector give the most satisfac-
tory results. Also because of
the film cost through the va
rious production stages, we
strongly recommend that the
users employ a licensed oper-
ator. Just anyone will not do.
Once shown we ask that
the committee return the film
to the C.F.U. Sports-Educa-
tional Department via first
class mail-special delivery
and insured for one thousand
dollars ($1OOO.00).
The film itself is of the
16mm variety and we instruct
t hose contemplating the
showing of the film, that they
will have to rent or engage a
protector in their own locali-
ty. This because the Croatian
Fraternal Union neither has
a protector nor has it been
found advisable to be ship
ping a machine around the
country. The rental costs are
not prohibitive, in fact the
film is much harder to re-
place, if at all.
At the present writing the
film "This Is Your Croatian
Fraternal Union" is scheduled
for a showing in Cleveland,
August 18th, September 9Th,
Chicago, and September 26th,
Canton, Ohio. Mountain View
California through N. j. Nj
kolac has tentatively reserved
it for October 2-3, 1854.

jointly commemorate the 60th
Anniversary of the Croatiar

The decision to stage this
celebration was reached in
spite of the fact that econom-

are not all we might desire.
In Benld alone, three of the
mines have been shut down
for months, and only a few
days ago the fourth and last
mine was closed. And mining
is our only industry!
Be that as it may, our
membership decided to pro-

the rest of the CFU world in
celebrating the Diamond Ju-

AN 1RRlGAIl)N SYSTEM, IN
order to deliver the best results at
lowest cost, must be designed for
your farm on an individual basis.
Factors to be considered in deter
mining the method to be used are
water source and supply, land slopes
and contours, the porosity or rate
at which soil absorbs water, water
holding capacity of the soil, and the
type of crops to be irrigated.
Source of water may be either
surface supFly-pond, lake or re-
servoir-or ground water pumped
from a well. If you are located
along a river, lake or creek, you
can draw water directly for irriga-
ton without providing for storage.
Proper choice of pumping equip
ment is of the utmost Importance
in planning for system of farm
irrigation. Before you make any
final decision, it will pay you to
put the whole problem in the hands
of qualified water systems dealer,
who will have the answers you re-
quire to the many questions in
volved in irrigation.
The water systems dealer draws
not alone upon his ample resources
of engineering background and ex-
perience, but also upon those of the
manufacturers of pumping equip
ment he sells. He will be glad to
analyze your situation and facilities,
advising you how to make best use
of the new and highly efficient farm
irrigation equipment available to-
day. He will size and plan your ir-
rigation system to provide maximum
benefits at the lowest possible cost.
Surface Pumping Equipment
Centrifugal type pumps are gen.
orally used to deliver water from
surface supplies. Water in this type
of pump enters the center of the
housing where a rapidly rotating
impeller whirls it around and out
by centrifugal force into the pres
sure line.
Centrifugal pumps are used in a
variety of sizes and capacities, de-
livering from 20 to about 5000 gal
Ions per minute at pressure heads
ranging from 40 to 125 pounds.
Displacement pumps also are used
to deliver water from surface sup.
plies. Most displacement pumps are
of the reciprocating plunger type
Supply water is drawn or sucked
into cylinder by the movement
of a piston, which subsequently
moves in the opposite direction
