And there were in the same country shep-
herds abiding in rhe field, keeping watch
over their flock by night. And, 10, the angel
of the Lord came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about them: and
they were sore afraid And the angel said
unto them, Fear not: for, behold, | bring
you good tidings of great Joy, which shall be
TO all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord. And this shall be sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel
multitude of the heavenly host praising God,
and saying, Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came TO pass, as the angels we're gone
said one TO another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is
come TO pass which the Lord hath made
known unto us. And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe
lying in manger. And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at
those things which were told them by the
shepherds But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem Of
Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east TO Jerusalem,
saying, Where is he that is born King of the
Jews? for we have seen his star in the east and
come TO worship him. When Herod the
king had heard these things. he was troubled,
and all jerusalem with him. And when he had
gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he demanded of them where
Christ should be born. And they said unto him,
In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written
by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the
land of Juda art not the least among the princes
of Juda: for out of thee shall come Governor,
that shall rule my people Israeli Then Herod,
when he had privily called the wise men, en-
quired of them diligently what time the star
appeared And he sent them to Bethlehem, and
said, Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when ye have found him, bring me
word again, that | may come and worship him
also When they had heard the king, they de-
parted and 10, the star, which they saw in the
east, went before them, till il came and stood
over where the young child was.
And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him: and when
they had opened their treasures they presented
unto him gifts gold, and frankincense, and

East Chicago Society
In Successful Outline

East Chicago, Ind. - A
huge crowd attended the
first picnic of the year spon-
sored by the members of
"Sloga" Singing Society Sun
day, June 13. The all day af-
fair was enjoyed at the Delta
Grove in the Black Oak Sec
tion Of Gary, and people from
all over the southern tip of
Lake Michigan were in atten-
dance.
The "Harborites" played
baseball against "Slog as"
team and the former won the
case of beer as a prize, show
ing that we were the first
class hosts in every respect.
Delicious hot barbecued lamb,
roasted in the age old custom,
was served with onions,
homemade bread and all sorts
of liquid refreshments.
Games were played in the
afternoon and the prizes for
t hese included household
goods, TV lamps, aprons
made by Mrs. Zafran, and
dolls made in authentic Eur
opean costumes and donated
by Mrs. Wild. The grand prize
was a gorgeous, colorful
handmade quilt.
We could readily see that
the youngsters were enjoy
ing the pony rides and the
playground facilities very
much. Us "older folk" went
more for shuffling to the
tunes of the Star Tamburit-
zans. All in all, it was an ex-
tremely successful affair.
The members Of "Sloga"
Singing Society are reminded
of the next meeting sched-
uled for next Monday, at 8
PM, at the Croatian Home in
Indiana Harbor.

We wish to notify all men,
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

any counter attractions for
this h oil i d ay, attractions
which might harm our at

Instead, let's all 60 down
to the Croatian Home and

friends and neighbors. There
will be plenty of delicious hot
barbecued lamb and pork,
cooling refreshments an d

Lodge bb DeIinquents
Given Friendly Advice

Youngstown, Ohio - AS
our members have probably
noted, the G. F. u. Supreme
Board at it's March Session,
decided that no more than
$40 may be credited to the
Lodge of a delinquent men,
ber from his reserve.
The welfare of our Lodge
should be the interest of ev-
cry member and 1, as the Sec
retary of Lodge &c, remind
you that I will be forced to
place on reserve every men,
Der who is more than $1,000
in arrears in the payment of
his dues.
Fate uses no discretion in
singing out it's victims for
hardships, so in the interest
of yourself and your Lodge,
pay your dues regularly so
that your Lodge will not
stand the loser.

Organized SoftbaN, Baseball Groups
Ruled Eligible For Society's Support

Pittsburgh, Pa. - At this
time we want to, officially,
advise softball and baseball
teams that C.F.U. aid to them
is as extensive as it has been
in past seasons.
Softball teams will be help
ed to the amount of fifty
(S50.00) dollars. This with
the choice being at the discre-
ton of the applicant can be
either cash, which will be
forthcoming during the latter
part of the season, or softball
equipment of their own choos-
ing of a discounted value of
said amount.
The Department in furnish
ing this softball equipment
reserves the right to withhold
a portion of the ordered ma
terial until it, the Depart
ment, becomes assured that
the team will finish the sea-
son.
Baseball teams because of
their known heavier expenses

becued lamb and the Ameri-
can favorite, hot dogs, along
with a large assortment of

of the second half of the
season.
Contributing to the eligible
lity toward this aid are the
salient facts that publicity
must appear regularly in the
Zajednicar. Also that we ex-
pect the sports teams so aid
ed to carry the colors either
Of the Croatian Fraternal
Union or those of the local
Lodge or Nest affiliate.
The Sports Educational De-
partment in the furtherance
of inter-lodge meets willingly
assumes the responsibility to

number are received, we pro-
mise from time to time to
publish them in the Official

Mound City Arranging
Plans For Big Turnout
AT Des PLANES Picnic

st. Louis, Mo. - Now that
the kegling sessions and the
bowling tournaments are a
thing of the past for another
year, our thoughts turn to
the subject of what now? Va
cation time is nigh, people
are hopping into the family
bus and taking trips and, all
in all, the picnic season bec-
kons to us in all it's splendor.
Now the question arises,
what will we do over the 4th
of July holiday? This three
day vacation period begs for
excitement, far away places
and grand festivities.
For this very reason the
st. Louis Central Committee
of CFU Lodges is making
provisions to give our people
something new in the way
of a holiday. It is making
plans to charter a bus and
transport those would-be cele-
brants to the annual 4th of
July Picnic at the CFU Chill
dren's Home, in Des PLANES.
Transportation to and from
Des PLANES will cost each
guest the round trip fare of
$1,000, one-half of this sum
to be paid when making the
reservation, and the other
when the trip is made.
If you are interested,
please get in touch with any
member of the Central Com
mittee or the secretary of
your Lodge. The important
thing is to do so Immediately
as we are anticipating a tre-
mendous response to this call.

Midwest LODGES
To Honor Society

Benld, Ill. - 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 217 of
Benld, ILL.,. have decided to
jointly commemorate the 60th
Anniversary of the Croatiar
Fraternal 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 aeen 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 CFU 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 krcw
will please our guests.
Stepping on our native soil
for the first time in many
years a representative of the
CFU 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.
Rounding out a diversified
program we have scheduled
the "Vila" Singing Society of
St. Louis, Mo-, an accomp-
lished group of some twenty
five voices, to entertain our
guests. It goes without say
ing that we intend to have a
tamburitza ensemble on hand
to cater to your musical
whims throughout the festi-
vities.
