Detroit Mothers
Primed For Party

DPCTOlC, MICH. - j u II o I
Nest 318 began the Fall sea-
son a little inauspiciously with
its first meeting on Septem-
Der End, but at least a slight
head way was made.
On Friday, September 10,
we held our first kolo class of
the fall term with a fairly
good turnout. Parents who
would like to see their chill
dren learn our native dances
and some of our culture may
send them down on the End
and 4th Fridays Of the month,
the address, 1925 e. McNich-
OILS Road.
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank the Bal
kan Cavaliers Orchestra for
it's support of our kolo class
venture. We were at a loss as
to how to provide the neces-
sary music for these classes
and, at the same time, gear
it slowly enough so that the
children will be able to fol-
low the various steps.
The Cavaliers stepped into
the breach and voluntarily
cut four records, eight sides,
of miscellaneous kolos, and all
for gratis, too. That's what
we call real cooperation!
Thank you fellows, we GER
tainly appreciate your gen.
erous contribution to the
Mothers Club efforts.
On September 80, at 7::3O
PM, the Mothers Club is
holding another Card Party.
If you don't play cards, or
don't like to play cards, or
can't play cards, don't let this
stop you from coming down
and having a good time with
the rest of us.
These card parties are not
confined to members of the
Mothers Club. Anyone who
cares at all about helping us
stage a successful affair
which, in turn, helps the Nest
conduct parties for the chill
dren's entertainment and en-
joyment, is welcome to at
tend.
So, come on ladies', and
any men who are interested,
let's see you on the Both of
September. Your age or men,
bership is no hindrance. Whe-
ther you're 16 or 60 you can
help us have fun and, at the
same time, you're helping a
worthy cause, that of the
happiness of our children.
After the card playing, or
gabbing, whichever you in
dulge in, and the prizes have
been distributed, refresh
ments will be served to all,
buffet style.
So, don't forget the date,
September 80, 7::3O PM, at
the Lodge Hall. If we don't
see you there, we may come
out after you next time. We
are determined to make our
Mothers Club a smashing
success, and we need you!

powerful fraternal organiza-
tion that is ours.
Of course in reviewing the
past we can't help thinking of
the future, so as is always the
case 1 was able to talk about

Cam p a n commemorating
this, our Goth Anniversary.
From the information / was
able to get, Minnesota is still
a fertile field for new men,
bership.
In conclusion 1 was able to
personally and publicly thank
bro. Thomas D. Vukelich for
the part he played in my cleo
tion as your Supreme Vice
President, by putting my
name in nomination at the
9Th Convention held at Los
Angeles, Calf, in 1851.
Heard Eloquent Speeches
After very eloquent speech
es by Senator Vukelich and
U. S. Congressman Blatnik
the program was concluded
and 1 was able to meet many
new friends. Many of them
remembered when and where
I was born and knew my par
ents we'll.
All too soon the time for
my departure had arrived and
l was saying my goodbyes to
these wonderful people, with
the hope that l may be able
to see them again soon. Go
ing out to our car l was ac-
companied by brother and
sister Mike and Mary Ogna-
novich, who were also going
home after a hard and long
day of work in connection
with the Conference and Ban
quet.
The next day Labor Day. ,
after a good nights rest, was
spent in the company of my
two cousins and their fami-
lies, whom I had come to
visit. I hope they will forgive
me for not spending more
time with them, and I GER
tainly hope that we will see
each other again very soon.
Yes, Dobar Je Mas Narod
In line with the old saying
that all good things must
come to an end, at 500 PM.
I was boarding the plane
which was to take me on the
first leg of my journey home
(Hibbing to Minneapolis)
happy in the knowledge that
I had spent a wonderful week
end with my relatives and my
people. On the trip back and
many times after I have
thought of the famous line
often used by our Croatian
Editor, bro. Vukelich: "Do-
bar je mas Narod'.
!! In closing I would like to
lexpress my sincere thanks to
/, the officers and members of
the Minnesota State Fedora
ton for the wonderful recep-
tion accorded me at the Con.
| ference and later at the Ban.
lquet, to bro. Krmpotich fol-
the guided tour he so gra.
ciously took me on, to all the
wonderful people who I met
and who did everything pos.
sible to make my visit one
that will never be forgotten
And last but not least to my
cousin Mary and Lee Clemens
who were at my service every
minute of my visit.
Thank you, one and all!

idents, brother Sebalj, Treas,
and brother Vukelich, Re-
cording Secretary.
Brother Jurisich then in
troduced me to the delegates
and members at the Confer
ence. The response was most
heartwarming and one that
will remain in my memory
forever. I sincerely thank
each and everyone there, even
though l am not deserving of
the reception accorded me.
Society In Their Hearts
Immediately after a short
recess, giving me the oppor-
tunity to meet everyone pre-
sent in person, the meeting
was resumed.
The various problems were
discussed in a most earnest
manner, as only those with
the C.F.U. at heart can do.
In several instances bro. Juri-
sich called upon me to answer
questions put by delegates,
which did to the best of my
ability and, l hope, satisfac-
ton of those present.
In my talk to the Confer
ence, 1 emphasized the neces-
sity of organizing sports and
cultural activities in order
that we may attract our
young people to join the CFU.
I am happy to say that the
delegates went on record to
organize bowling teams with
the moral and financial help
of the Federation.
My hope is that this deci-
sion will be carried out sue
cessfully, and that we have at
least five teams from this
area at our National Bowling
Tournament in Chicago, ILL.,,
this coming May.
Banquet Colorful Event
At 500 PM. the Confer
ence was adjourned with the
final order of business be-
ing the election of officers,
which was reelection by ac-
clamation of all officers.
The! delegation then paid
tribute to one of Minnesota's S
favorite citizens, Mr.. Joseph
Bogdanich, by visiting the
new Chisholm Museum where
many of his artistic works
are displayed. Minnesota Gro
atians are proud of his work
and rightly so.
AS in the past years, the
climax of this Annual Con-
ference was the banquet held
in the Slovenian Homes spa
cious upstairs hall.
On my arrival at approxi'
mately 6:30 PM. a capacity
crowd was enjoying a very
delicious dinner at beautifully
decorated tables. Taking my
place at the head table with
the M.S.F. officers and
number of city, state, and ma
| tional dignitaries, I was very
glad to see my good friends
Minnesota State Senator Tho
mas D. Vukelich and U. S
Congressman John A Blatnik
The banquet program was
very ably handled by bro
Daniel Tupac, Treasurer Of
Lodge 210 in Chisholm. This
young, energetic man has 9
gift of being able to handle
every phase of the job Of
toastmaster flawlessly. My
information is that he is very
active in the fraternal, civic
and business life of Chisholm
Dignitaries Attend Fete
Following greetings extend
ed by the Mayor of the City
and some very timely re-
marks by the officers of the
M.S.F., bro. Jurisich was
most generous and flatterine
in presenting me to those

LaSC CnlcagO, Ina. - lne
members of CFU Lodge 154
are proud of having added tc
the roster of their affiliate
Junior Nest 267 a fine group
of youngsters during the
course of the current year
incidentally, our Lodge Pres.
ident, Michael Ilijanic was in.
strumental in recruiting these
members.
The first of these is a fine
young lad, Joseph Ratkay OF
Kenwood Avenue, Hammond
Ind. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Ratkay, his
mother being the former Ann
Tucak of East Chicago.
Joe is a hard working fel-
low who spent his summer
vacation being employed at
the Inland Steel Company and
utilizing his spare time work
ing around his fathers mod
est home. He enjoys painting
and the general upkeep of a
house, rather than being a
drugstore cowboy" as many
boys of his age are.
Joe returned to Morton
High School from which he
will graduate in the latter
part of January, 1855. He has
been active in sports, parti-
cipating in intramural basket
ball and sandlot baseball, al
though his outstanding a.
chievements are in his scho-
lastic studies. His grades are
all in the A and B categories.
His future plans are indefi-
mite as yet, since further edu-
cation depends on his finan-
cial situation.
Another of our fine lads is
Matt Osojnicki, Jr., the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew Osoj-
nicki of East 151st Street, in
East Chicago.
In the short span of two
years, Matt added his name
to the long line of we'll known
athletes at Roosevelt High
School. Prior to this he at
tended Holy Trinity Croatian
Grade School, where he par.
ticipated in basketball.
Upon entering high school,
Matt became a candidate for
freshman football. However
he saw limited action because
he suffered a broken collar
bone in the third game of the
season which put him out OF
commission for the remainder
Of the football season. Later
in his first year he made the
track team which was coach.
ed by Kermit French, and he
ran in variety track meets
The 40 yard dash was his
speciality, along with the one.
half mile relay team.
During his sophomore year
Matt was a member of the
varsity football and track
teams and during the 1854
track season he set a new
record for the 440 yard dash
as we'll as winning numerous
conference and divisi o r
events. The record which hac
stood since 1887 was lowered
from 81 seconds to 51.9 sec
onds, a truly amazing feat fol
a second year man.
Matt is big boy, standing
over six feet in height. Oh
servers believe that he has g
great opportunity to place his
name among the all time
greats at Roosevelt High
School.
His post-high school train
ing will probably follow along
the lines Of his we'll known
uncles, the Lokanc boys. Jot
Lokanc was an All-Americar
linesman at Northwestern u
niversity at one time, anc
this is probably the goal o1

kee, Wisconsin, I landed in
Minneapolis, where l was
greeted by my cousin Mary
and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lee Clemens Of Keewa-
tin.
They had driven approx
mately 24O miles to make my
visit more pleasant, since by
doing so 1 was spared a
lengthy lay-over which was
necessary in order to continue
to Duluth, Minnesota, my
first contemplated stop.
Insisting that their time
and automobile was at my
disposal during my stay IN
Minnesota, I was whisked a.
way and we were on our way
to Duluth and later to Kee-
watin.
Land Of Scenic Wonders
Arriving in Duluth early
Saturday morning l enjoyed
an all too short reunion with
my God-parents, the first
since I was about six months
of age. After several hours
of reviewing the past 40
years, we were saying our
farewells all too soon so that
l could continue on my way
to KeeWatin.
During the entire trip from
Minneapolis to Duluth, and
then to Keewatin, undaunted
by a steady rain and unusual
ly cool weather, I was thrilled
by the beauty Of the scenery
dotted by the great number
of lakes along the route.
On our arrival at the home
of my hosts, we were enthu-
siastically greeted by two
beautiful young ladies, Mary
Lee and Jean Adele Clemens,
daughters of my cousin Mary
and Lee Clemens.
Realizing that my over
night trip, and excitement up
to this point, had taken it's
toll, my hosts were insistent
that I rest for a time before
meeting the many people that
I was to see during my short
stay.
Visited Famed Ore Pits
Upon awakening with a re-
stored energy, I proceeded to
make it one of the most en-
.joyable week-ends Of my life.
During the remainder of the
day and evening I met many
friends, some of whom were
officers of CF'U Lodge 513
in Keewatin.
On Sunday I was fortunate
to meet bro. Tom Krmpotich
a member of lodge 513, whom
I had previously met in Chi.
cago, Illinois, while attending
the 1943 CFU Convention
| After dinner we drove around
the area, first to the old Nor.
ton Location where I was
born, then to one of the ia.
NOUS Iron Ore open pits
where bro. Krmpotich proved
to be a very able and informa'
tive guide.
His detailed description OF
the operations in the digging
of iron ore left nothing to be
desired. The climax of my
tour of inpsection occurred
when I was invited into the
cab of a giant sized shove
which is used to load the ore
in trucks and cars.

At this point we realized

Wreckage Found Of Missing CAY; 20 Persons Killed

NICE, France, R-Police head quarters in Nice said Saturday the wreckage of missing US. Air Force CAY had been spotted in the mountains behind this French Riviera city.
 The plane was carrying 20 per sons when it disappeared Thurs day on a flight from Rome to Ger many. The police said a wing of the plane had been spotted by a French farmer, Etienne Gallean, through field glasses, and that they had confirmed his report.
 The plane, mostly buried in snow, was at 7,8OO feet in the Alps and 10 miles southwest of the ski resort of Auron
 The wreckage was located only seven miles south of where an Air France passenger plane bound for Saigon, Indochina, crashed last year, killing famed pianist Jacques Thibault.
 Police said as far as they could learn there was no sign of life around the wreckage. They added there were indications the crash had caused several avalanches at the site.
 Police immediately began or ganizing foot parties to go to the scene, which they said was in a region very difficult to reach.

how we can best keep ourselves healthy. This also was an import ant meeting. St. Lawrence Is land being isolated from the mainland, and having no doctor or physician can still manage to alleviate suffering from tubercul- osis and other sicknesses. This can only be done by working with the local Public Health Nurse who spend part of her time at Gambell and part of her time at SaVoonga.
 1854 is very good year. For about two months we had very good weather almost continuous ly. Hunting pretty fair but not exceptional. The other day three walrus were killed.
 After trapping season is over, number of catch will be reported, which is very good here and at Savoonga this time.
 Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, the missionaries for Gambell are visiting Palmer and Anchorage in March. During their absence the Elders of the Church are going to take over the services, which will be for two weeks or more.

Dulles Tells Guatemala Facts of Red Movement
Continued from Page One)

(COnt1nued from Page One) knew what international Com munism is. It is disturbing if the foreign affairs of one of our Am erican republics are conducted by one so innocent that he has to ask that question:"
 Toriello's violent criticism of the United States had previously brought the statement from Dulles that Guatemala's abusive at tack" would not be permitted to obscure the real issue: Communist intervention in this hempisphere.
 Toriello's speech led some here to predict that Guatemala would not support any anti-Communist resolution, although the Guate- malan foreign minister denied this in a statement issued yester- day. Delegates noted that not once in his 55-minute speech did Toriello denounce Communism
 U. s. officials have accused Guatemala of following the Com munist line and have charged that Reds occupy many positions of power and authority in that Cen tral American country.

For two months, you readers of Gambell News did not see the news because the writer was too lazy or did not have much to report
 Biggest celebration took place when New Year came Practical ly everyone was out when the first shot was heard, announcing the New Year, 1854. Just about everyone big enough to shoot a gun celebrated the new year with guns ranging from .22 rifle to a whale gun called "bomb gun"
 Children held roman candles in their hands, as well as adults, lighting the whole center of the town This was a marvellous sight to most. Flares of all colors were shot from the hilltop and all around town. There were shows for all ages. There was a party in the school which lasted until daylight Some young people danced too long and dozed off during the party in the school This was really big day for all.
 Captain Everett Schiller and Gertrude Kunz, our recent visitors from the mainland, spent some of their time visiting Savoonga on business. Dr. Schiller was here several times before, studing how to prevent from getting ''hydatid." :"
 In a special meeting called by the doctor, many good suggestions and ideas were presented before the people. Schiller explained that this dreaded germ (Worm) will not be avoided in a matter of short pc iod, but he said, by following precautions. we can keep it from spreading.

Ted remembers the first Is
years of his life as a miserable

each time he lost a baby tooth.
Then a long period when he wore
braces to combat the crippling
effects of a chronic knee hemor-

About 1900 of Kisel's transfu-

VISITORS FIND OUR
METHODS BEAT DUTCH

A Holland manufacturer. who
recently visited the United States,
returned with stories of how they
do it over there" which his en-
ployeeS found hard to believe. So
he sent five of them, all active in
the unions of his Amsterdam
plant, to America to see for them
selves.
The five Dutchmen were given
comparable jobs in a PENNSYLVANIA
linoleum plant at the going rate of
pay. They boarded and roomed in
the homes of their American fell
low workers during their three
months stay.
Now they have returned to Hol-
land, full of enthusiastic ideas of
their own about American produc-
tiveneSs and methods and the
American way of life" They said
before leaving that they had found
the US. "a working mans world
they were amazed that average
American industrial workers were
able to buy and enjoy the things
they manufacture" such as cars
TV sets, radios washing machines
and impressed by our vast amount
of consumer goods available at low
prices.
The one thing the Dutch work
erS were uncertain about was a
trend they noted in American
unions toward "bigness"; they
thought their Dutch unions were
better in that they are smaller
and closer to the workers.
