THE PERFECT GIFT
FOR THIS MOMENT
IN THIS WORLD

Yes. most people on your Christmas
list may own Bible. But chances are
it was written hundreds of years ago,
and is filled with difficult, old-fash-
ionedexpressions that dull their eager
ness to read.
Now you can give Bible written
in the living language of today-the
great Revised Standard Version. Here
is Bible so clear and powerful, so
easy to read, they'll turn to it twice as
often. The RSVB is praised by reli-
gious leaders as a more accurate Bible,
too faithful to the earliest known
manuscripts.
Give the Revised Standard Version
this Christmas-you may help some
one you love to enjoy all the help and
stimulation the Bible offers in these
troubled times.

S70,1O5 Loaned In
4-COunty Area By
Farmers Home Adm.

Farm families i'm Auglaize, Allen,
Mercer and Shqby counties have
made good use. of Farmers Home
Administration credit and services
this past year land have stepped up
the efficiency bf their farming oper-
ations, Carl / w. Mckenzie, the
agency's county supervisor head
ouartered at Wapakoneta announced
this week.
Additional funds have been made
available, he said, to lend through
the next year to farmers to operate,
buy, enlarge or improve farms.
A large proportion of the money
loaned in the 4-Courty area during
the past twelve months has been to
veterans and other farm families
who are establishing better farm
setups. No loans we're made to
farmers who were able to obtain the
financing they needed from other
local lenders.
A total of $70,105 was loaned in
the area for equipment, livestock,
fertilizer, feed and seed that farm
families needed to make better use
of their land and labor resources.
In spite of the fact that the
squeeze in the cost-price relationship
in agriculture is continuing, loan
repayments have been. satisfactory
and practically all loans are being
repaid on or ahead of schedule.

Home Administration servicing the
4 counties referred to above is locat-

Benwood Juniors
Await Xmas Fete

Benwood, w. Va. - The
Annual Christmas Party for
the members of Junior Nest
60 will take place on Sunday,
December 5, 1854, at the
Brick Bar Hall, 22O Marshall
Street, in Benwood.
The days festivities will
begin promptly at 200 PM
with the showing of two mo-
vies which have a running
time of some forty-five min
utes.
From past and sad expert
ences we found that our little
tots do not have the patience
to sit through long and drawn
out movies, so we decided to
bring them two short reels of
high interest.
Immediately following the
films refreshments of all
sorts will be served by the
ladies of the Benwood Lod-
ges. There will be plenty of
everything as in previous
years, and the ladies are 60
ing to see to it that no one
goes home disappointed.
AS always old st. Nick has
promised to be on hand with
bells on and make certain
that each member of Junior
Nest 60 receives his gift of
fine mixed Christmas candy.
We urge the parents of our
Junior Nest youngsters to
make sure that their kiddies
are in attendance at the par
ty on December 5th and re-
ceive their treats and gifts.
We old timers will enjoy the
festivities if we just loosen
up and leave our troubles at
home for the day.
Let us acquaint our chill
dren with our wonderful or
ganization, a Society which
will eventually look to them
for survival, by bringing
them to their exclusive party
being prepared on Sunday,
December 5th.

Gary GIee Club
In Annual FroIic

Gary, Ind. - Members of
the Croatian Glee Club "Pre-
radovic' are busily preparing
for the annual fall festivity
known as the Night in a
Croatian Village, which they
have scheduled for Sunday,
November 21st, in their club
located at 1869 Broadway.
AS in the past years, the
ladies will cook a typical Cro-
attain supper, which they will
begin serving at 6 PM for a
very conservative price. The
table will also be laden with
delicious Croatian home
baked pastries of such a va
riety that all will be pleased.
AS the evening progresses
past the supper hour, about
1850 PM, a delightful oro-
gram of "spice and variety"
will be presented, which will
include solos, duets, and
chorus singing; interspersed
with instrumental numbers
and kolo dancing.
In order to create the at
mosphere to the utmost, we
cordially invite our friends
and neighbors, as we'll as the
glee club members, to dress
in Croatian native dress for
this occasion. There are nu-
m merous beautiful Croatian
dresses in Gary, so why keep
them in the closets where
their beauty is totally hidden.
Once more, may I say, we
cordially invite all to come
and join us for an evening of
gaicty, relaxed fun.
The committee promises
plenty. of refreshments, both
liquid and solid; tamburitzan
music, kolo and Croatian
songs! Come and join us!

Three Lodges To
Screen CFU Film
Proceeds To Be
Used For Party

San Francisco, Calf. -
Three CFU Lodges, 81, 878
and 900, will join forces on
Saturday evening, December
4, to present to our members
and friends the long awaited
film, This Is Your Croatian
Fraternal Union!' The show
ing will take place at the Yu-
goslav Sokol Club, $50 Eddy
Street.
All proceeds of this affair
will be used to prepare a
Christmas Party for the
youngsters Of our Junior
Nest. Following the film pre-
sentation, a good dance en-
semble will take over the fes-
tivities to dish out favorite
shuttle tunes until a late
hour.
This is the very first op-
portunity accorded our peo-
pie in this colony to witness
the marvellous technicolor,
sound film prepared by the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
Three major divisions in sub
ject matter make the picture
one which few CFU members
can afford to miss.
First the scene unfolds in
the C. F. u. Home Office in
Pittsburgh, Pa. Here we see
the processing of material,
the wheels of activity turning
in the dispensing of countless
details in order to keep the
G. F. U. business running
smoothly.
We are then taken to Ca
ry, Indiana, where we see
Gary's answer to juvenile de-
linquency, an in t e r e ting
Summer School for the Nest
10 youngsters. See them prac-
ticing the kolo steps which
they learn, crafts they have
mastered and attending other
classes equally as interesting.
Finally, the pride of every
CFU member, the CFU Chill
dren's Home in Des PLANES,
ILL.,, is shown with various ac-
tivities of our kiddies housed
in this institution, including
the annual 4th Of July Picnic. |
These scenes are guaranteed |

Johnstown Members To
Decide Sunday Whether

JohnstOWn, Pa. - The next
regular meeting of "St. Ro-
chus" CFU Lodge 5 will be
held on Sunday afternoon,
November 21, at 200 PM. 1t
is of the utmost Importance
that we have a large attend
ance at this gathering.
Two vital issues are on the
agenda for discussion at this
session and you will be asked
to vote your pleasure on each
of these. First, shall we sell
our musical instruments or
donate them to the CFU Chill
dren's Home, and secondly,
shall we combine the duties
of some of the Lodge offices
and save the added expense
of salaries for these?
If we do make this latter
change, our membership must
then be notified by mail and
a vote taken on the question,
so you can readily see that
the issue must be decided i'm
mediately.
Also, take care of those
delinquent dues before the
end of the year rolls around,
and help us put our books in
shape for the coming year.

Vote November 21st On
Changeover To English

Masontown, Pa. - In COM
pliance with a decision made
at our last monthly meeting,
we are hereby urging all
members of CFU Lodge 566
to attend the next regular
meeting scheduled for Sun
day, November 21st, at the
usual time and place.
At this session we must
take up the important ques-
ton of whether or not we
should change over to the
English language at our
meetings or utilize the Gro
attain as we have in the past.
AS the situation appears
today, our Lodge is making
very slow progress and boasts
of very few active affiliates.
Some cannot be active due to
old age, and others stay away
because of indifference to the
organization. Those of the
younger generation who
would be interested, are kept
away because they do not
understand what we are talk
ing about in Croatian.
