ry of the GU given by Lodge
46 of Livingston, Lodge 70 OF
Mt. Olive and Lodge 217 OF
Benld.
We had received the invita-.
ton after we had already
made plans to be at Des
PLANES on the 4th and ir
Gary on the 5th. We were
determined, however, to dc
the impossible" and com.
plete this schedule unaltered.
After motoring to the Chill
dren's Home on the 3rd of
July it was but a
hop by plane from Chicago to
st. Louis on Sunday, July 4.
Our comfortable, ultra-mod-
ern mode of conveyance a.
lighted at the spacious St.
Louis terminal at 1920 Am.
There at the gate was a
welcoming committee ready
to drive us across the state
border and some so miles a
way to Livingston. Greeting
us with a sincere and unaf-
fected display of fraternal
welcome and extending a
warm, work worn right hand
bros. Mike (Marko) Pa
pa, Treasurer of Lodge 46;
Mejaski, Secretary of
Lodge 70 and Manager of it's
Nest 70; and Matt Katalinich,
Recording Secretary of Lodge
217.
The hour long ride in bro.
Papa's auto seemed much
because it was spent
in a S t conversation
which, naturally, centered a.
bout the CFU. It was a little
before noon when we arrived
at bro. Papa's home where
we were introduced to the
rest of the members of the
family.
The elder Papa, an octoge-
marian and a venerable frater-
nalist, has well earned a rest
from the physical rigors of
activity. He is proud
in the knowledge that he has
reared a son who is taking an
active interest in fraternaI
The Papa residence seemed

GERS Of all the three Lodges

costumes OF singers and dam
GERS, and musicians and ev-
erything that goes with a
Croat picnic, must have pre-
sented quite a spectacle to the
thousands of tourists who
drove by. 1t was almost as if
our Croatian colony was enac-
ting a drama for the benefit
of the entire country.
Yes indeed, each motorist
caught at least a fleeing
glimpse of a pageant that
truly typifies this great land
Of ours. Here on the most ap-
propriate of days, on a stage
before the entire nation was
being dramatized the truism
which makes us a nation of
nations.
We were escorted by bro.
Papa who introduced us to
the rest of the committee
members. We met Josip IT,
govcic, President of Lodge
217 and Chairman of the
three United Lodges.
We were introduced to bro.
Richard Zarr, Secretary of
the same Lodge. Bro. Zarr,
a tall strapping young giant,
was busy serving drinks. He,
incidentally, doubles as the
Chief of Police of Benld, and
a very able one, we'll wager.
We met bro. Mike Pintar,
the veteran Nest SO Manager.
We met also bro. Steve Bos-
ton (Biscan), a young frater-
nalist who is proud to be the
president of Lodge 46.
We were anxious to meet
bro. Robertson, with whom
we had the first contact via
letter. We were anxious to
see how a Robertson had
gotten to be the Secretary of
a CFU Lodge and Manager of
a Junior Nest. We finally saw
him busily engaged in dis
pensing cooling refreshments
from behind the bar.
Bro. Robertson a Scotsman,
had chosen a Croatian girl
for his life's partner and by
this marriage the CFU gained
an additional and a very ac-
tive member instead of los
ing one as is sometimes the
case. Both sister and bro.
Robertson were working very
hard at this affair and had
been from before dawn.
It is impossible to mention
everyone by name, so we beg
everyone to forgive us for
this omission. We met, and
happily 50, hundreds Of our
people. There was a large
contingent from st. Louis &C.
companying the Villa Singing
Society. There were others
from nearby towns in Mis-
souri, and Illinois, all anxious
to attend such a noteworthy
affair and thus contribute to
it's success.
Early in the afternoon the
people were called upon to
take seats in the pavilion in
order to witness the program.
Despite the fact that the sun
was at it's hottest, and the
heat close to the 100 mark, a
vast multitude sat in hushed
silence as the program began
to unfold.
Following the singing of
the national anthems by the
singers from st. Louis, bro.
Roger (Roko) Spudich de-
livered the welcome address
in his capacity as Mayor of
Livingston. Bro. Spudich dou-
bles as the Pho of Lodge 46
and is a fine example of our
Industrious Croatian stock -
a man Of the people in the
"land of Lincoln" He is a Gre
dit to his nationality, to the
CFU and to America.
Of the some 600 junior and
senior members in these three
localities the CRU boasts no
less than So Spudiches enroll
ed in the six affiliates.
