to learn that another big event
to attract a similar audience is
scheduled by another group for
the same evening? It's quite a
predicament to be found in, .
but East Cleveland Public Library
has the answer that could we'll
be a life saver for all planning, if
the groups but cooperate.
The Library, announces Miss
Sarah E. Miller, librarian, is will
ing to assume the task of listing
all community-interest events, to
do away with disappointing con-
flicts, provided everyone is will
ing to help, to make the clear
ing house a success. Mrs. Lillian
Clarke, assistant librarian will
have charge of the clearing House
service.
The same service, reminds Miss
Miller, has been given previously
by the library staff, but had to
be discontinued for lack of CO.
operation of the groups it was
designed to assist.
To start the Clearing House off
to a new beginning, Miss Miller
suggests three important things
which all groups should do, name
ly: ~ provide the library with a
copy of regularly scheduled events,
days etc: (2) telephone
the library as soon as the date
for a special event is decided upon;
(S) notify the library of any
change that affects the general
public. Any organization mailing
out regular bulletins is requested
to send one to the library when
it contains information of interest
to the general public.

ing their time until the play
offs wherein they are assured
of a spot by virtue of a first

engaged the Growers on Au-

Jim Montoney on the

the fourth inning to emerge a
4-3 winner.
Another game necessary as
other teams in the City Soft

petitions was played August
9th. This game with the Tip
Top Hollanders and interest
nutured by an 8-8 tie of one

slugfest. The H d e r S

nine runs in the opener. The
Croatians added a lone tally
in the fourth and came back
with nine of their own in the
fifth inning.
Two more were added in
the sixth but meanwhile the
Tip Toppers who had scored

Society Offering
T~echnico|or Movie

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Central
Committees and Lodges plan
ming events in this the Goth
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 LODI
ges as will make application.
The picture and the narra-
ton are on one single film
which simplifies the showing.
Experience has shown that a
Bell o 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 GU. Sports duca-
tional Department via first
class mail-special delivery
and insured for $1,000.
The film itself is of the
16mm variety and we instruct
t those 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.

Chi Bowler Needs
Help Of Bon AInis

Chicago, iii. - The Goth
Annual GU Bowling Tour
nament held in Detroit, Mich,
last May, left many fond re-
collections for most of the
participants, but sister May
me Polich of the "Krizari"
GU Lodge 70 squad will long
remember the event for other
reasons.
Mayme was destined for a
somber ending to a great
weekend when the automobile
in which she was making the
return trip home met with a
most disastrous accident. As
a ut, she suffered two bro
ken arms and a badly crushed
leg which is still confined in
a cast.
To make matters worse,
Mayme also is suffering a
great financial loss in her
fight back to recovery. Prior
to the accident she was en-
ployed, but due to her ,eX-
IRENE disabilities at the pre-
sent time she is unable to
tackle any form of lucrative
employment and cannot look
forward to any compensation
returns from her former en-
ployers.
In view of this situation,
Club Primorac, whose men,
bers are affiliated with either
the "Krizari" or the Prog
ress" GU Lod es in the ma
| jority cases, will stage a Card
and Bunco Party for her ben
eft on Friday evening, Sep
TENDER 10th, at 500 PM, at
the Assumption Hall, 6Oth
and Marshfield Avenues. Tic
kets for the event are selling
for the price of S1.OO.
We have no misgivings a.
bout the success of this char
ity venture, since we know
the fine calibre of our men,
bers and friends when they
are called upon to render as
sistance to a fellow affiliate.
While we are on the sub
ject, we wish to remind the
readers of the "Zee' that
days and months in confine-
ment are twice as long as the
healthy of life and limb find
them, SO how about dropping
a card or a letter to sister
Polich one of these days.
Her address is Mayme Po-
Itch, 6029 So. Marshfield Ave-
