Since this is the Goth An
niversary year of the Gro
atian Fraternal Union, many
of our members throughout
the State will attend this af-
fair rather than the one
which the Central Committee
is planning for the Fall.
Luka Konjevod, member
of the CFU Supreme Trial
Board, is making a plane trip
to the picnic on June 9th. He
is the grand old man from
Southern Cal who was select
ed by the boWlers to roll the
first ball in the recent State
Tournament.
CFU members from Sacra-
mento who do not have a
means of transportation to
the outing are urged to con-
tact George Glavas who will
provide you with a bus ride
to Cupertino.
The Committee wishes to
/ inform all of you that dinners
will be served beginning at
l:11:30 AM sharp, and hopes
that many of you will come
early in order to avoid con-
jested waiting lines later.
Come early and reserve your
tables as in past years we've
experienced a great deal of
competition for the best seats
in the house.
Those of you who are plan
ming to drive to the scene,
may arrive by driving down
the Bay Shore Blvd, or the
Ell Canine Real until you
reach the Lawrence Road, a
! couple of miles south of Sun
nyvale, and turn to your
right from San Francisco
way, and you'll be in the
Park.

Park, on Sunday, June 9th.

a great success.
Yes, the Kovach's from Tu-
lare, the Grancich's from Los
Angeles, the Radman's from

ers will swarm to beautiful
Napredak Park, to feast on
the delicious barbecued spring
lamb, and to enjoy a day of
reunion with their friends and
acquaintance Of Slav nation
ality. At least, these are the
sentiments of George Glavas,
general Chairman of the
Picnic.
The Central Committee,
headed by Peter Capitanich,
has hired three orchestras
for the gala event, ensembles
which will hold sway with
your favorite tunes from cary
afternoon until the late hours
of the evening.
The Mladi Mariani, in the
persons of Bobby Soldo, An

and Joseph Radich, Director
will feature modern and Slav
dances and songs, while Peter
Kusalo and his Polka special
lists will be on hand to dis
pense the music of our fore
fathers. The San Francisco

so be on hand.
