United Lodges In
Bow oEtna Lodoe
Delegates Treated
BY Host Membership

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Frater-
nalism personified was the
order of the day on Sunday,
February %, when the men,
bers of Etna Lodge 4 played
host, in their Croatian Home,
to the Annual Meeting of the
Croatian Fraternal Unions
United Lodges of Western
Pennsylvania Committee.
Immediately following the
business session, the ladies of
the host Lodge surprised the
Delegates and guests by
serving delicious sandwiches
with the compliments of
Lodge 4. This was certainly
an unexpected treat and, we
must add, an enjoyable one.
Speaking in behalf of the
ULWP Committee and the
some 100 Delegates who at
tended the February % rally,
we thank the members of
Etna Lodge 4 for this very
gracious, very generous, ges-
ture on their part.
We should also like to voice
our grateful thanks to the
same members for permitting
the ULWP Committee to use
their Croatian Home at ITO
Bridge Street, Etna, for vari-
Gus sessions which preceded
the Annual Meeting on Feb
ruary %. In view of the fact
that the Committee was never
billed for the purpose, our ap-
probation knows no bounds.
In return, we wish our Et-
ma Lodge 4 members and
friends nothing but the very
best in the future. Fraterna-
lism is the better off for peo-
pie of this rare vintage.

this issue a complete list of
Lodges which will this year
celebrate their anniversaries,
in multiples of five, from the
6Oth, down to the 10 anniver-
sary.
Home Office Has Data
Accurate information Is a
vailable in the Supreme Of
flee concerning the exact day,
month and year of organiza-
tion Of each of our Lodges
and Nests.
Those Lodges which pre-
served the record of the min
utes of their first meetings
have that information read
lily at hand; but in many in
stances the original records
are no longer in existence.
Lodges desiring to have
such information may obtain
it by writing to the Supreme
Office and it will be given
gladly.
The publication Of this in
formation on Lodges which
will be observing important
anniversaries during 1854
does not mean that only those
Lodges should celebrate their
own and the Society's ami
versaries.
The members of every
single one of our Lodges and
Nests have sufficient reason
to take pride in their Croatian
Fraternal Union and its psi
ton among the strongest fra
ternal societies in America
and Canada.
In Memory Of Pioneers
Collectively, we can best
honor the memories of our
departed members who were
instrumental in organizing
our first fraternal organiza-
tions and the Society.
And we can permanently
record the inspiring memories
of their great sacrifices, trials

 The family hopes to eliminate the many mispronunciations and misspellings that their name has received over a period of years, by shortening and simplifying their name.
 The name Sims was chosen as a dirivtive of the original family name of Simatovich which was mistakenly changed to Shemato- vich many years ago when a member of the family received his naturalization papers.
 The entire family reside at Sterling Avenue in Palmer.

New Hospital

Continued from page D built in the center of the com munity, occupied for the first time on November 29, 1885. The frame building served the area until it's destruction by fire in 1946.
 Shortly after the fire the Alas ka Mission of the Seventh Day Adventists, who had taken over hospital operations in September of 1922, found it was not possible to carry on medical work in the Valley.
 Residents, now faced without a hospital, formed the Valley Hos pital Association and raised $13,- 900 through public subscription and the sale of bonds. The group subsequently, purchased a five room frame cottage from the Ma tanuska Valley Farmers Cooper ating Association. The building was used to house the business office, clinic, labratory, X-ray and lark room, and a combination op- erating-delivery room. From this initial purchase grew the pres ent hodge-podge of quonset huts which were later added to serve as a maternity ward, mems ward, and women's ward.
 Although the frame structure was of sound construction, the quonset huts were in poor condl- ton and during rainy seasons, bucket bridgades were a neces- sity. Difficulty in heating the quonsets confronted the hospital staff and board each winter.
 Realizing the need for adequate hospital facilities the hospital as- sociation approached several groups. In 1850 the Board of Ma tional Missions of the Presbyteri- an Church offered to cooperate in the operation of the hospital and do what they could to assist in securing funds for new hos pital.
 In 1852 women of the Presby- terian Church set a goal of $150- 900 to be raised for the new hos pital in Palmer. The drive was spear headed by Miss Elsie Pen field and from her name the slo- gan Pennies for Palmer" came about. Literature based on the slogan was put out by the Board of Missions and money was rais- ed all across the country, as well as in the territory. The success of the campaign is attested in the final figure of $232.536 which was turned over to the hospital. Ad- ded to the territorial appropria- ton of $1O7,500 and local con- tributions of $15,0O0, the total was matched by Federal Hill Bur ion funds of $344,000, making a total of $7OO,000 available.

FISHING LICENSE SALES CONTINUE TO CLIMB

Fresh-water fishing continued its upward trend of popularity during the year ended June 30, 1853, according to a recent report made by John L. Farley, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 Alaska reported the sale of 54,732 fishing licenses, which brought in a revenue of $102,347. Resident licenses numbered 36,- 277; nonresident, 18,505. In the previous year only 43,495 fish ing licenses were sold, bringing in but $74,938. One-ha1f of the revenue received from fishing and hunting license sales in Alas ka is required by law to go into miscellaneous receipts" of the United States Treasury; the re- mainder is credited to the Terri toria1 school fund.

national mark for 1854 for 4
year-old pacing mares here to-
night in winning the $4,000
seventh race in 2:O2 fiat.
A crowd of 9,307, largest of the
meet so far saw the c. N. Myers
mare win her sixth race in IL
starts and avenge a defeat by
1chabod Grain in their last
meeting at Baltimore Raceway.
1chabod Grain. in spite of q
burst of power in the stretch,
finished three-quarters of a
length behind Trustful Hanover.
Driven by little Hugh Ball, ace
reinsman of Hanover Shoe

Hanover clipped four -fifths of a
second off the national mark for
mares Of her age and gait and
cracked the Ocean Downs record,
set by Hi-Lo's Forbes two years
ago, by one and four-flfths Sec

The crowd was not only the
largest at the seaside oval this
year but also one of the wisest.
They bet heavily on Shakertown
and Symbol Land in the first two
race to limit the daily double

in this quiet Orange County
village for the last time next
August.
The Hambletonian and CO.

race to become the most famous

the Yonkers Raceways, Inc. con-
slider making some changes. The
Yonkers groups owns Good Time
Park, where the Hambletonlan
has been raced for the past 25
years.
1t all came about Thursday
when the Hambletonian Society,
a group of trotting stalwarts who
are in charge of the race, met
here to talk about a new con-

The Yonkers group wants to
shift the race to Yonkers Race
