Branko is stationed as a Cor
poral in the anti-Aircraft unit.
Prior to his call to duty
with the Armed Forces some
eighteen months ago, Branko
was a very active affiliate of
CFU Lodge 900. He attended
all Lodge sponsored affairs,
acted in many plays and was
an all-around worker at our
many events. He loves to sing
in Croatian and is quite adept
at penning the language also.
Branko graduated fr o m
Commerce High School in San
Francisco and attended City
College before Uncle Sam
beckoned to him with the
usual greetings" Florence is
a graduate of Tracy High
School and for a short time
also attended City College.
The young couple will be
back in San Francisco just as
soon as Branko's hitch in the
Service has been completed.
They plan to make their home
here and become active, once
again, in our CFU affairs.
| For our part, we wish you,
Branko and Florence, the best
of luck, health and happiness
in the years to come.

Society's Play House
Is Still Well Stocked

Pittsburgh, Pa. Our
stock of playlets in the Gro
atian language for children
is not as extensive as we
would like it to be.
But with "Dva Macka," a
short dramatic skit by RADIO
sevic Branko, we have some
thing to offer our Nests who
may be shopping for a facet
to incorporate into an indoors
social venture.
The dramatic piere can be
portrayed by three charac-
ters and can be had from this
Department. You are espec-
tally invited to inquire fur
ther into what your organiza-
ton has to offer.
To the senior thespians we
car, say we have a diversified
supply of one-act plays in
Croatian. They are available
| in numbers, almost without
exception, one copy for each
member in the cast.
The list of the short plays
available to our Lodges for
the asking are "Udovica"
"Ljubomorni Suprug", "Zim-
ski Kaput", "stidljivi Mlado-
zenja", "Slogom Raste Male
Stvari", "zapustene Njive"
"Posljedni Susret", INA Mr.
tvoj Strait, "Prosac u Nepri-
lici", "Medvjed', "Prosidba"
"Pamet u Claw, "Puske Co.
spode Carrar" and others.
All that we ask in case you
are not familiar with any of
the above is that you stipu-
late the number of persons in
your available cast. We most
certainly feel confident that
we can supply you with a
play that will meet your
needs.
While we dote on Croatian
drama and our stock by past
inquiries for English Ian
guage plays has not had to be
large, we can bring the De-
partment to your service. If
there is a particular play in

your Lodge group may want
to perform, we will secure
you copies of the play.
On the other hand if left
up to us we can fill your
needs from the stock of Eng

do not know and should take
advantage of the offer.

BentleyVille, Pa. - An I'M
pressive nuptial service, SOL
emnized on January 16, 1854,
at St. Sebastian's Roman Ca
tholic Church in Belle Ver-
non, united in marriage Miller
Bostich, a member of CF'U
Lodge 437 and son of Mrs.
Jennie Bostich, and Lorraine
Ninchak, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Ninchak of Wood
Street, Belle Vernon.
The double ring vows were
exchanged at the 9:30 AM
Holy Mass with the Reverend
FIR a n C i S Martin officiating.
For the occasion the altar was
beautifully arranged w t h
white carnations and the aisle
used by the bridal party was
lined with white crash.
The bride, who was given
in marriage by her father,
was lovely in a gown of white
nylon net marquisette, which
was styled with a fitted bo-
dice with a high collar. Tiny
buttons trimmed the front of
the bodice, which continued
to form a paneled overskirt,
under which the full skirt of
marquisette formed a seal
loped court train. A Juliet cap
of seed pearls held her finger
tip veil and she carried a CO.
lonial bouquet of white car
nations tied with sa t i n
streamers.
Serving as her sisters maid
of honor and only attendant
was Stella Ninchak. She was
attired in a pink gown of net
fashioned with a fitted bodice
and full skirt. 1t was strapless
and she wore a brief cape of
matching embossed satin. Her
headband was of matching
pink net and she carried a
colonial arrangement of pink
carnations tied with pink
ribbon.
Serving as Mr.. Bostich's
best man was Andrew Gacey,
of Bentleyvile.
For her daughters wedding
Mrs. Ninchak was attired in
a dress of gray taffeta with
harmonizing accessories and
a corsage of pink roses. Mrs.
Bostich, the mother of the
groom, wore a navy blue suit
and a corsage of pink roses.
Immediately following the
ceremony there was a break
fast at the Moose Hall in
Bentleyville. Accommodations
were laid for about 100 rela-
tives and friends at the at
tractively arranged tables.
Centering the bridal table
was a three-tiered wedding
cake topped with a miniature
bridal couple. Later in the
afternoon the couple received
relatives and friends infor-

San Francisco, Calf.

San Francisco, Calf. - On
December 20, 1858, two hap
py young people were united
in marriage at st. Paups
Church in Tracy, Calf, in
the presence Of a large num-
Der of friends and relatives.
Handsome young Branko
Pudarich of San Francisco ex-
changed vows with pretty
Florence Obad, of Tracy, on
that eventful date, with Ray
Tulich and Katherine Obad
serving as best man and maid
Of honor, respectively.
Following the impressive
ceremony, a reception was
held for a large number of
guests at the home of the
bride, 227 Highland Avenue,
Tracy. Here, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mike Obad saw to it that
festivities were at fever pitch
for the remainder of the day.
Nick and Jaka Pudarich, par
ents of the groom and men,
bers of Lodge 81, were also
in attendance at the recep-
ton.
After the celebration the
young couple spent two days
in the Bay Area and then flew
to Anchorage, Alaska, where

maybe the magic of the name
of Wilson, coupled with his
own native ability, will carry
Wilson on to further honors
in public life.
AS an individual, Wilson is
a quiet spoken individual, and
one might say, too, that he
was on the shy side; but he
is a determined fellow and
usually gets his way in his
quiet fashion. He is unassum-
ing in his behaviour and we
certainly could not find any
evidence of arrogance in his
makeup or conceit over his
new position.
He treats his friends as he
has always done and they in
turn regard him still as one
of the gang.
Wilson leaves the long
winded speechmaking in City
Council to his more voca'
colleagues, of which there are
more than enough, while he
goes about his business serv'
ing his people quietly ard cf.
fectively.
Deserving Of Tribute
Shortly after his election g
committee was formed to
make plans for a testimonial
dinner to Wilson and, as was
to be expected, his own Lodge
is taking the leadership in the
promotion of tn e affair
George D. Relic is chairman
of the committee and they
are making plans to have
some prominent guests in at
tendance at the Dinner
They have invited Mayor
Cellebrezze to be on hand
and we will have Emil Grown

member of the "zumberak'
Lodge. Monsignor Tomisla1

Greek Catholic Church, vii

will also be one of the pro
gram speakers. Other people
too, prominent in the CFU
and in the civic life of the
community, will be on hanc
for the festivities.

Milwaukee Nest Among
TOP Juvenile Branches

WAiWduhCc, WIS. - IyulUC
some time has elapsed since
we went to press with news
items and tidbits concerning
our Junior Nest $50 members.
so we hasten to remedy the
situation and bring you up to
date on recent happenings
with this short article.
We'd like to start off by
admonishing all those parents
whose youngsters dues have
been neglected for any length
Of time. We realize that there
are a great many outlets for
that meager weekly pay en-
velop but insurance should be
your chief concern at all
times, so please consult your
dues books and see where you
stand.
Nest $50 was both happy
and sad recently to lose two
affiliates to Lodge 8O7, when
Lucille Wehar, daughter of
Philip and Mary Farano, and
Joseph Rocki, son of Mrs.
Olga Rocki, transferred to
the adult division. Our con-
gratulations to you both on
your graduation!
Fluctuations are also in or
der to sister Catherine Poirior
who gave birth to a baby
daughter, Yvonne Marie, on
January 80, and Immediately
enrolled the youngster in the
Junior Nest.
Other recent enrollees are
Richard Wayne, Patricia Ma
rie, Kathleen Margaret and
James Clarence Pearson. all
children of Richard and Ma
rie Pearson.
We are trying our level
best to recruit as many
youngsters as possible in our
Nest and would certainly ap-
preciate any help we can get
along this line from our Sen
ior affiliates.
Also, now is the time to
sign your children up on a
permanent type policy such
as the 20-Payment Life or
20-Year Endowment Certifi-
cate since the new CSC Plan
recently instigated in the Jun
ior Order provides added ben
efits for your youngsters at
a lower cost.
All those kiddies who wish
to appear on our Mothers
Day program and have not
declared their intentions as
yet, please contact me as soon
as possible and we shall be
glad to find a spot for you.

Councilman Wilson Latkovic VIII! Be
honored By "zumberak" Lodge $50

attentively to arg m e n t S
which, to us at least, seemed
a bit technical. Wilson is vice
chairman of the committee
and was filling in that day
for the chairman.
Facing Many Headaches
In addition to his member
ship on the Planning Com
mission, he is also a member
of the Councils Traffic Com
mittee and the Lake Front
Development Committee.
This latter committee now
assumes a very important
position with the imminent
development of the st. Law
renee Seaway, a project by
the way which bro. Latkovic
favors. Cleveland will soon
begin making plans to become
a Seaport and the Lake Front
Committee will have a big job
cut out for it.
Although the Lake Front
Development and cleaning up
of the polluted waters of Lake
Erie is important to the city
as a whole, Councilman Lat
kovic's primary concern at
the moment is the redevelop-
ment and rehabilitation Of his
Ward.
The 31st Ward is a polyglot
district in which there live
about 10000 people of vari-
Gus nationalities. 1t sprawls
over the entire downtown
area and takes in the terri
tory which begins with the
Lake at East 10th Street and
then follows a rather diver
gent course south to the
crooked Cuyahoga River.
1t is essentially an indus
trial district with more than
its share of substandard
homes. The deterioration in
the district has become ra-
ther acute since the war
years, and the cutt i n g
through of the new Cross
town Expressway will not
help matters insofar as pri-
vate homes in the area are
concerned.
There hasn't been a new
home erected in the district
for at least a half century.
1t is a district, though, in
which Wilson was born and
where he has lived his entire
life. He knows the district and
it's people better than anyone
and is thus ably qualified to
represent the people in Gle
veland's City Council.
Finds Office To Liking
Wilson has found the job
being a public servant rather
interesting, although at times
it can be trying.
People call their council
man at all hours of the day
and night to report every
thing from a cat up on a roof
! top to a pot-hole in the street,
and they expect him to dc
something about it. One dele
cation will call asking for a
traffic light on a certain cor
ner and another will tell him
that he is insane for even
thinking of such an idea.
But Wilson has already be.
come philosophic about such
actions on the part of his
constituents and takes it al
in stride, listening patiently
to all their troubles and ther
doing his best to rectify them
Wilson has learned, too
about garbage and rubbish
collection. His ex peri II c {
with this unsavory subject
was rather on the academic
side as it is with most men
but he soon learned from irate
housewives - led by Mrs
Latkovic herself - just what
it means when the stuff was
not collected.
And when Mrs. Latkovi(
wanted to know from hel
councilman lust when the

$50 of the CFU is giving in
Wilson's honor on Saturday
evening, April Oath. But his
five brothers, Pete, Tommy,
Nick, William and John, and
his three sisters, Alice, Ann
and Joan, will be there to
share the honors with their
brother.
The Testimonial Dinner will
be held at Nelson's Family
Style Restaurant at 1922 Ad-
Olson Road.
Made First Try In 1851
Wilson Latkovic's election
to the Cleveland City Council
came about in a most unusual
manner.
He made his first try for
the post in 1851, but was de-
feated by the slender margin
of just 6 votes, out of a total
running into thousands, prov
ing once again that every
vote counts in an election.
He was not discouraged by
the defeat-in fact he was
quite happy over his fine
showing in his first race. He
filed petitions as a candidate
for council again early in
1858, and then, like a bolt
from the blue, his only rival
for the office, the man who
defeated him in the election
2 years before, suddenly with
drew from the race leaving
the field open to Wilson, who
was thus elected without any
opposition.
Although this is Wilson's
first experience as a legisla-
tor, he brought with him to
the City Council a very good
background for his new du-
ties. This was due to his work
In the Goodrich Area Council,
an organization whose func-
tions and interests are not un-
like the workings of the Gle
veland City Council.
The Area councils concern
themselves with such prime
civic problems as juvenile de-
linquency, substandard hous-
ing, Fairgrounds for children,
ETC., etc. And these are prob
lens with which the city
council of every big city must
cope.
So the things Wilson learn
ed about civic responsibility
as a member of the Goodrich
Area Council will serve him
in good stead as a Cleveland
city councilman.
And then to prepare him
self better for the duties a.
head, Wilson actually haunt
ed the City Council chambers
for months before taking his
seat in that august body,
watching and learning how
the business of a big city was
run from the actions and be-
haviour of the more c',r ri
enced legislators.
Second Croatian SOlon
In being elected to the
Council, Wilson became the
second person of Croatian pa
rentage to sit in with the
"City Fathers and, by a pc
culiar coincidence, his prede-
cessor, Emil Crown, is also a
Zumbercanin and represented
the same district that Wilson
will now represent.
Bro. Crown served several
terms as a councilman and
then was appointed as Direc-
tor Of Public Utilities for the
City of Cleveland by the then
Mayor, and now Governor of
Ohio, Frank J. Lausche.
Bro. Crown is now round
ing out an even dozen years
as boss of the city's Depart
ment of Public Utilities and
has served under three Ma
yors. He was mentioned also
as a possible candidate for
Mayor this past summer.

codes. He was stationed in
England from 1912 to 1916
and won rating as a Sergeant
before his discharge.
Following his discharge and
return to Cleveland he went
into the insurance business
here with the, Hershey-Lea-
witt Associates and has been
| successful from the start.
Most Of his business is in the
Fire and Casualty Line.
NewsbOy To Councilman
His common origin is some
what akin to that of Cleve-
lands new Mayor, Anthony ].
Cellebrezze. Both came from
immigrant parents; in fact
the new Mayor was born in
Italy.
Wilson attended the same
school with Tony Cellebrezze
the old Brownell Junior
High School-and he and
Cellebrezze sold newspapers
on opposite corners. The fu-
ture Councilman had a corner
in front of the old Flatiron
Building on Huron and Pros
pect, whereas Cleveland's fu-
ture mayor peddled papers in
front of the Caxton Building,
directly across the street.
After finishing at Brownell
Jr. High, Wilson attended
John Hay High School and
then continued with his edu-
cation by attending night
classes at Fem College and
Cleveland College.
CFU Work Outstanding
| Wilson Latkovic's work in
CFU circles in Cleveland is
very well known. He is the
organizer and first Secretary
of the "zumberak" Lodge. He
served as Secretary from the
day the Lodge was organized
in 1887 up to the beginning
of this year.
He is chairman of the Du-
quesne University Tamburit-
"a Scholarship Fund commit
tee locally and works very
hard each year to put over
this concert. Wilson was pri-
marily responsible for bring
ing the concert to the Public
Music Hall and it's larger seat
ing capacity. Bro. Latkovic
was a delegate to the riotous
1947 Convention of the CFU,
which almost soured him and
a lot of other active C.F.U.
members on fraternal activi-
ties.
He served as chairman of
the CF'U Basketball Tourna-
ment Committee for several
terms and was in charge of
the tournament activities
when the tournaments were
; held in Cleveland. He is a
member of the Fraternal Day
Committee and the Catholic
Day Committee and takes an
active interest in all activities
of our people here.
i, Married Violet Fuchec
His election to the City
Council of Cleveland last No.
vember was an important
event in his life, but none the
less important to Wilson was
his marriage, a few weeks af-
ter election, to the former
Violet Fuchec, daughter of
Michael and Molly Fuchec.
And he was lucky in the
choice of a wife, because vi
, olet's background makes her
a perfect companion for the
hectic life in which Wilson
was plunged since becoming
public figure.
, Violet's parents were in
business here for many years
and Mrs. Latkovic helped in
the business, acquiring poise
