members playing a lone hand
as the inviting host to make
our 1854 outing another sue
cess.
To make a gathering such
as this possible entails hours
of preparation, work not only
at the picnic but several days
afterwards. The enumerating
of names of the committee
and volunteer workers in
these columns can hardly
compensate. We can but say
that the 1854 committee was
headed by John Krpan of
Lodge 125 who proved a wor-
thy successor in that capaci-
ty to Steve Horvat of Lodge
l43. The latter somewhat
hampered by occupational du-
ties but very much in the
forefront with others at the
picnic.
To the world and to our
selves, we can state that our
joint undertaking was a good
GU. elixir. Bereft Of any
outside celebrities it was even
more noteworthy as a sue
cess. It can be said we have
the harmony and the CLIENTELE.
Not knowing who will staff
the committee for 1855 let's
be prepared to speak rever-
emily of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union reminding friends
and relatives that there are
protective features, besides
social, to be had by joining
either Of the two lodges with
the offspring going to Nest

this interest in Croatian dam

this interest in Croatian dam
ces can even be enhanced.
With the Kolo Federation
of America doing it's share in
the eastern part of the U.S.A.,
and the prevailing interest in
California, strangely enough
among non-Slavs, it should
not be difficult to launch a
new interest among prospec-
tive members in behalf of the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
We would have the C.F.U.
SIP t Educational Depart
ment serve as a clearing
house for interest and the
furtherance of kolo dancing
enthusiasm. We pledge our
selves to. periodically, if not
regularly, write articles in
the Zajednicar and reprint
others which would give Gre
dit to individuals who are
making America and Canada
more "kolo conscious. Moth
ing would please us more than
to have others pick up a pen
occasionally too along these
! lines.
There is a veritable ware
house of information that has
never been known to those Of
Croatian descent much less to
the general public. We are
purely interested in focusing
more attention, enthusiasm
and respect for kolo dancing
as another feature of men,

ternal Union.

clusively. Their Federation
holds festivals often and to a
point where hundreds come
not as sightseers but as fes-
tival participants. This we
gather from the April, 1854,
issue of the Let's Dance
magazine, official publication
of the California Federation.
We wish that we had more
space at this me to devote
to the April issue which was
appropriately labeled tn e
"Yugoslav Issue. In it are
many fine and authoritative
articles by John Filcich of
Oakland, Calf, and by Cece-
liza Benrath, secretary of the
Balkan Dance Group.
The C. F. u. bylaws have
from the start backed, among
other things, the promotion
of intellectual sent j m e t s.
Culture has been defined as
the attainment of an educa-
ton and refinement. Surely
our immigrant parents, while
they did not bring with them
pieces of architecture and
paintings, did nevertheless at
heart carry the love and re-
spect of CENTRES old civiliza-
ton and it's pertinent culture.
Among these were the Gro
attain songs, music, customs
and native dances, the best
known of which are the kolos.
These meet the public's favor
without question wherever
presented. After six decades
it can still be said that this
Croatian Identification is with
us. If proper steps are taken

Rox Lodges Rate
Plenty Of Credit
McKees Rocks, Pa. - Prior

McKees Rocks, Pa. - Prior
to three years ago the Nc
KEGS Rocks colony through
the lack of activity was fast
passing into a limbo.
This for a GU settlement
that had either been the
home or the business place
of such leaders in our Soci-
ETY. as Josip Ljubic, Nikola
Grguras, Janko Gvozdanovic,
men who signed the charter
incorporating the Croatian
Fraternal o n, and to
which list of GU Roxians
can be added the names Of
Petar Pavlinac and Franjo
Bogadek was nothing short of
being a catastrophe.
At one time the home of
three GU. lodges before
their merger into one senior
lodge and for the past quar-
ter of a century the adobe of
lodges 1925 and 143, it simply
would not do to write us off
as defunct.
How to attempt a medium
Of activating the membership
which had grown to absent
itself from monthly meet
ings? A doughty crew enlist
ed from both lodges and
trusting to the ingrained GU
fidelity risked an old-time
picnic. The response was be-
yond expectations and the
last of the trio of these an
nually sponsored events on
Sunday, July 18th proved
that the populace appreciates
and will support efforts to
bring the community into it's
rightful limelight.
AS the result Of the pendu-
lum swinging in the other d.
~rection, all present can take
credit. It took family circles
and acquaintance and sincere
talk to have held the picnic
crowd over the past three
years upwards Of a thousand

In behalf of both G.. F. u.

lac. Janko salopek, Howard

We recommend that the re-

by bearing the above men

MarysvilIe Board
Denies Charge BY
Juvenile Judqe

Marysville Public School officl-
ais defended the school systems
activities as having no part in the
furtherance of juvenile delinqu-
cnCy. This charge had been leveled
against the schools of this area re-
Gently by Juvenile Judge John w.
Daley.
Supt. II. w. Carr and Principal
Warren Widner made their dc
fcnse in part on the fact that, of
the four major instances of delin-
qucncy involving children in this
community none Of them took
part in the cxtra-cuTicular actiVi-
ties which Judge DALEY blamed
for the trouble,
The officials also point out that
no activities in the MarysviIlc
schools last later than $50 am.
so there is no excuse for pupils to
be out after that hour.
In listing night meetings and
other activities of the MarySville
schools various organizations they
asked for suggestions or COM
mcnts from residents of the school
district on how the programs can
he improved.

Milford School
Damaged In Fire

Fire Of undetermined origin
caused some damage to the base
ment of the Union Local School
at Milford Center Friday morn
ing but early discovery and prompt
action by the Union Township Fire
Department prevented what might
have been a major loss.
The blaze was discovered at
about 7:15 am. by Custodian Ed
Gansheimcr who had been outside
burning trash. When he came ar
ound to the front of the school,
he saw flames coming from the
basement windows of the storage
room which faced the street.
Smoke caused some damage in
other parts of the building but this
was held to a minimum as the
fire doors we're closed at once.
Considerable water was also left
on the basement floor. The blaze
apparently started in a pile of corn
cobs used as kindling in the fur

said.
Opening of school was delayed
about half an hour by the fire,
which was out by 8 am
