Upon receiving said appli-

Expect $50 Golfers To Participate In
Second Annual Mid-w West Open Aug. Il

there be no mistake that the
event is for men only. No
ma'am, it's just as good a
game for milady golfers as
it is for men.
We've also been informed,
and this a few months ago,
that Detroit's Onyx" ESL
will bring out a team to Wau-
kegan. Fine and dandy, but
when Fab Babich starts in
with a bushel of praise for
Onyx golfers, and tells us
that they have the champ
ion" in their Lodge, that inn
mediately called for a wager
of four dinners, that it won't
be so.
True enough, they have in
Tony zurich one of the best,
as the following words taken
from a Detroit paper will
show, but our Midwest group
is pretty sharp too!
The article about Tony was
captioned, Zurich Skaters
Idyl Wyld Mark Tony WI
rich broke a Is year record
at Idyl Wyld when he had
seven brides to cover in Sc
ven under par with a IS. The
previous record was 81. He
also holds the record for
BEDFORD, also a IS. He also
holds the record at Meridian
Hills, in indianapolis, where
he shot a 10 under par for an
impressive g.
We must admit that zurich
is a darn good golfer and on
August p we will see him in
action at t h Suburban
course. If he shoots a 10 I'M
der par or 7 under, or par,
and energies as the Midwest
Open champion, we'll gladly
order the four dinners.
With such information
trickling in from the field,
we are confident our goal of
$50 golfers will become a
reality.

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 nara
ton are on one single film
which simplifies the showing.
Experience has shown that a
Bell-Howell 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
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.

Stublarec and George Mikesic.
Bro. Mikesic also received a
check from bro. Mandich,
since he is the oldest living
member Of Lodge 5.
Several surprises were in
store during the evening. The
first one came when Presi-
dent Mandich presented CFU
Lodge 5 with a beautiful
plaque symbolizihg 60 years
Of faithful CFU Service. The
second came about when he
announced that he had re-
ceived a parchment of cloth
from Miss Palian who is here
from Yugoslavia, on which is
inscribed the symbol of the
"Hrvatske zene", an organi-
zation which has been sup
pressed since the new regime
took over Yugoslavia.
During the banquet Father
Sostarich said the Invocation,
and the "Rodoliub" Singing
Society, under the direction
Of Prof. Hans Roemer, rem
dered several beautiful num-
bers. A standing ovation was
given Prof. Roemer when it
was announced that he is
rounding out thirty years as
director of the well known
Croatian group.
Dancing followed the ban
quet, at which the Veselo Sc
10 Tammies officiated.
The Goth Anniversary cele-
bration was one of the largest
ever held in Johnstown. The
Croatian Hall was jammed
for two days with friends and
members Of other fraternal
groups.
Several touching scenes
were enacted when old friends
met. Take the case Of George
Sohic Of Canada, who was
visiting relatives here. He met
a boyhood pal who he hasn't
seen since 1905, a Mr.. Charles
Selan of Altoona. Tears of
joy flowed freely when these
two men met, and decided
that it was a small world af-
ter all.
At this time I would like to
express my heartfelt graft
tude to all those who helped
to make the Goth Anniver-
sary celebration of Lodge 5
such a success.

Mandich, and bro. Michael
Grasha who came to spend
a day with us. It was a pleas
.ure to have you with us.
Thanks to my two co-Chair-
men who contributed their
time and efforts, to the ladies
who worked so diligently pre-
