A conservative estimate gi-
ven us by the Parks Manage
nneht set the attendance fig
tife atawell over $4,000 people,
thereby assuring us that this
total greatly surpassed any
attendance figure within the
past ten years.
The Park also assured us
that nothing in the way of
nationality days, of which
scores are staged here an
nually, has compared with
the magnitude Of Croatian
Day this year. The tremen-
dous parking area surround
ing the playland was jammed
as early as 400 PM, with
waves of humanity stream

Weather Made To Order
The gods truly smiled upon
us on Saturday, September 4,

and bright, a perfect setting
for our gigantic celebration,
dedicated to the Goth Ami

In honor of the auspicious
occasion, CF'U Supreme Pres

special Solemn meeting of the
CF'U Executive and Supreme
Boards, the CFU Clerical
Staff, members of both the
Croatian Day and the United
Lodges Committees, members
and friends, at the CFU Home
Office.
A sizeable number of at
tendants participated in the
ceremonies dedicated to the
deceased pioneers and men,
bers of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union. Everyone then en-
joyed the social which follow
ed, during which the young
ladies of the Home Office
served coffee and doughnuts.
Promptly at 10:45 AM the
entire group dispersed to at

had requested for all deceased
CFU members. It was indeed
