bers and friends of C. F. U.
Lodge 307 that a Picnic is
being planned for Sunday,
July 4, at the Croatian Home,

Inasmuch as we seldom
sponsor picnics or other
events, we ask that organiza-
tons and clubs in this locali-
ty refrain from scheduling
any counter attractions for
this h oil i ay, attractions
which might harm our at
tendance figure.
Instead, let's all go down
to the Croatian Home and
enjoy a happy 4th of July
holiday in the midst Of our
friends and neighbors. There
will be plenty of delicious hot
barbecued lamb and pork,
cooling refreshments n d
good music to satisfy our

have the opportunity of en-
tertaining you and yours.

Three Illinois Lodges Will Celebrate
Society's 10th Anniversary On July 4
Junior Order Director Michael Grasha
Will Speak During Holiday Festivities

Benld, iii. - Following the
lead which many of our CFU
Lodges throughout the coun-
try have set, the three affi-
liates in this AREA, namely
Lodge 46, Livingston, Lodge
78, Mt. Olive, and PIT of
Benld, ILL.,, have decided to
jointly commemorate the 6Oth
Anniversary of the Croatiar
F'raternal Union, in Livings-
ton, on Sunday, July 4th.
The decision to stage this
celebration was reached in
spite of the fact that econom-
ic conditions in our locality
are not all we might desire.
In Benld alone, three of the
mines have been shut down
for months, and only a few
days ago the fourth and last
mine was closed. And mining
is our only industry!
Be that as it may, our
membership decided to pro-
ceed with our plans to join
the rest of the CF'U world in
celebrating the Diamond Ju-
bilee Of our great and wonder
full organization. To do JUS
tice to the auspicious occasion
we have drafted an interest
ing program which we knew
will please our guests.
Stepping on our native soil
for the first time in many
years a representative of the
CF'U Home Office in Pitts
burgh, Pa, bro. Michael Gra-
sha, Junior Order Director,
has accepted our invitation to
be our honored guest and
speaker.
Bro. Grasha will fly from
Des PLANES, ILL.,, where he
plans to be in attendance for
the gigantic 4th of July holi-
day picnic annually held by
the CFU Children's Home.
Our Committee will be on
hand to escort him to and
from the airport in order that
he may be with us.

ami, was among these as he
said: 1T surprises everyone
that the CFU picnic is the
biggest of the year in the
Park and most people can't
figure it out"
The Croatian Day Picnic,
an annual event for over two
generations, taking place on
the 4th Sunday of June,
draws large crowds for many
many reasons.
The most important of
these is the fact that the pic
MICS are organized and promo
ted in the fraternal spirit and
in the name of the great fra
ternal organization. the Gro
atian Fraternal Union of
America, which signifies and
promotes the brotherhood of
man, and in our particular or
ganization it expresses the
blood and cultural ties of our
people and their friends.
Behind this great concep-
ton are the men and women
that believe and in Northern
California there is an organ
ization known as the Central
Committee, composed of del
egates of twelve Lodges loca-
ted in all parts of Northern
CAL, and whose members are
devoted to the purposes and
ideals of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union.
They are strong and power
full cogs in the huge fraternal
world of the Union who are
able to place their shoulders
to the wheel in unity and run
it smoothly and efficiently
not for personal gains but for
the benefit of the whole GU
society.
The Committee is headed
by Peter Capitanich and the
Chairman Of the Forthcoming
picnic is George Glavas o1
Sacramento. The leaders a.
lone would not get very fal
if it were not for the grea'
loyal delegates from tht
twelve Lodges
These delegates at thi'
very moment have theil
sleeves rolled up and they arr
out in the field advertising

And, it is only fitting tina

1890 pm.
The youth was "boat boy"
A Miss Matlock of Butte, guest

drowned. He apparently came up,
and hit the bottom of the boat. In
