Annals OF Lodge

Pittsburgh, Pa. - The date
March q, 1854, has all the
earmarks of becoming men,
orable day not only for the
members of "All Saints" CFU
Lodge 1, but for all affiliates
of the Croatian Fraternal
Union in the Pittsburgh area,
as well as for those of our
nationality not yet housed
within our fraternal ranks.
On that significant day, |
and promptly at 200 PM, we
begin our celebration of the
Goth Anniversary of Lodge l,
at the Javor Hall, S22 North |
Canal, and end the festivities !
with Banquet and Dance at
the Lodge 1 headquarters,
1916 E. Ohio Street.
Outstanding Program
We firmly believe that we
have come up with an out
standing program for staging
at Javor Hall, one which will
prove of great interest to
guests of all ages.
The major portion Of the
opening program will be de-
voted to musical interludes
and dance interpretations by
our young folk dance enthu-
siasts.
Interspersing the various
acts on the stage, we plan to
have several we'll known per-
sonages address our guests
with brief greetings, the first
among whom will be bro. V.
I. Mandich, G. f. u. Supreme
President, and bro. Charles
Verbanic, President of the
CETJ BOARD of Trustees.
Young Thespians Good
At this point some highly
talented thespians in our
midst will take to the stage
to present a hilarious comedy
play entitled "Prodani Died"
This act is packed with
laughs throughout its one
hour duration and we are GER
tain that those who view it
will long remember it's enter
tainment value. Well mention
the names of the actors at
a later date and pay tribute
to many of them who, al
though born in this great ma
tion Of ours, do complete JUS
tice to the language of our
forefathers.
Furnishing the musical ac-
compartment for our program
in Javor Hall, as we'll as for
the banquet and dancing la
ter, will be the ever popular
Plavi Mjesec Tamburitzans.
Banquet Tx Available
During the banquet cere-
monies our guests will have
the opportunity of hearing
bro. Milan Vranes, CFU Su-
preme Vice-President, an d
bro. Milan Skrtich, Secreta-
ry of the CFU Board of Trus-
tees, in short addresses. Dane
ing will follow Immediately
after our tables have been
cleared away.
AS we mentioned previous
ly, admission to the after
noon program at Javor Hall
stands at seventy-five cents
per person, while the evening
banquet charge is $500 per
plate. First come, first served,
will be the order of the day
around our banquet tables, so
assure yourself Of a seat by
coming early.
Interest in this Forthcoming
celebration is fever pitched,
and rightly SO, for this is the
commemoration of the organ
ization of the Lodge from
which sprouted our great Gro
attain Fraternal Union of to-
day. We would be pleased to
have representatives and Off
Gals of other Lodges in this
area join us on this auspicious

Term Insurance Thrifty

In addition to all of this
he could and should carry
the Term coverage since it
is SO reasonable.
We most strongly urge ev-
cry Junior member to be the
possessor of at least two GER
tificates. The Term coverage
which you receive from your
CFU costs you less than Sc
for the entire Is years Of
protection. Surely all parents
want to avail themselves of
this bargain.
Since the Term protection
IS, therefore, practically a gift
to you from your Society, the
possession of at least one
more certificate of the per-
manent type should be a
must for everyone!

Q's And A's-
| Know Your 10
By Michael Grasha
Junior Order Director

Junior Order Director
Pittsburgh, Pa. - We re-
ceive almost daily inquiries
from Nest Managers, Lodge
officers and rank and file
membership.
These questions are, at
times, about some rather COM
plicated transaction and how
to effect it's conclusion; some
times they seek information
which is generally not known;
most often however the ques-
ton reflects a lack of fami-
liarity with basic procedure
and fundamental workings Of
the organization.
No letter is too trivial, no
question too unimportant for
us to answer in detail. That,
however, resolves the problem
for only one person
Since, as we've pointed out,
there is a general need for
airing these, so that all who
are confronted with the same
| problem may benefit from the
reply to the one, we have de-
cided to write a weekly or
bi-weekly column in which we
will discuss one such question
each time.
Anent Junior Coveragc
On January q we received
the following question: "Is it
permissible for a member
who has a child already in
sured> on the Endowment
Plan GO year, to also take
additional insurance for the
child on the Junior Term
plan?"
First Of all, Section $50 of
the BYLAWS states that -
"any member of the Junior
Order (this would include any
applicant too) may be issued
one or more certificates on
one or more plans, but the
total amount Of insurance
payable under all such certifi-
Gates issued by the Junior Or
der shall not exceed the IL
mits set forth by the laws of
the State in which the mem
ber resides"
Since only Connecticut,
Minnesota and New York
place a limit on juvenile COW
erage, only the residents of
those states would be affect
ed by this limitation.
Limit Pegged At $1,000
We can state, then, that
generally speaking any Junior
member or applicant may
have up to $4,000 insurance
coverage with the CFU.
He may have it all under
one type or he may hold pro.
lection under each of the GER.
tificates available, i. e., &c
Year Endowment, Education
al Endowment at Age Is anc
20 Pay-Endowment at Age Sc
(the old 20 Payment Life).
We want to emphasize here
that only on one of these GER.
tificates does a member have
to pay his administrative eX.
penses. Thus, if, for instance
he originally took out $1,000
coverage at age 0 on the &c
Year Endowment plan and &
little later took another $1,000
of 20 Payment he would be
charged only S1.49 per thou
sand, if still at age 0, on this
addition. He could take out
another thousand on the
Educational Endowment al
Age 1S. Now, for this, at age
0, he would be paying just
S419.

Miles Plans Drastic
Orioles Shakeup
BY the Associated Press

BOSTON, Aug. 27-Clarence
w. Miles, president of the down
trodden Baltimore Orioles, an
nounced last night that drastic
changes" are in store for his
club during the winter.
There's no Orioles contract
that can't be terminated this
year." Miles said. emphasizing
that any person connected with
the club-from the front Office
on down-may find himself else
where in 1855. That would in
clude Manager Jimmy Dykes and
General Manager Art Ehlers.
Miles announced the proposed
shakeup at a news conference
shortly after he arrived from a
Maine vacation.
The club president said he's
still hopeful of strengthening
the last-place Orioles this sea-
son. But if he can't, Miles said
there'l be at least $3.50, 900
available next year for purchase
of playing talent.
Miles said the clubs profits
this year should be about $780,
900, all of which would be tax
free because of financial reverses
suffered by the old st. Louis
Browns franchise.
The last installment on the
purchase of the Browns cool
million dollars - is due Octo-
Der 20.

has been an unusual season.
Black drum are caught as far
up as Herring Bay and very pos
sibly farther. but the channel
bass put in a rare appearance.
Capt. Willing said one other
fisherman caught a. channel bass
which looked to be larger than
his largest fish. although he saw
it only from a distance.
Fresh water fishing still is in
the doldrums. Rivers and streams
are muddy. Ponds are still
working and full of algae. Inso-
far as trout fishing is concerned,
most mountain streams have
dwindled into mere trickles of
water, and we've heard of no
one attempting to catch brook
trout, in nearby waters at least.
Have a nice letter from Larry
Westcott. who is the proprietor
of Mirimar on Maryland Route

Greek, where he caters to fish,
ing parties. Larry is one Of
those show me-. anglers and
likes. to measure his fish so as to
be sure of quoting the proper
figures. He tells us he has
finally seen a hardhead brought
in more than foot in length.
However, spot in this area are of
good size, and while the bIuefish
have been small and few in NUM-

1000 Seek Top Prize
In Grand American

glory in the 55th Grand Ameri-
can handicap.
The 1Oo-target event in which
shooters are placed from II to
Is yards back of the traps ac-
cording to shooting ability, is

In keeping with a 54-year
tradition, some unknown is ex-
pected to walk off with the top
guaranteed prize of $500 and q
possible $4,000 payoff If he
plays the entire optional system.
The title most coveted in the
clay target sport never has been
won by a woman or an out
standing favorite. No one has
won it twime and in 81 years
only five men have been able to
break the entire 100.
Winners have ranged from a
14-year-old boy to a 70-year-old
man.
Vern Thornborrow, 34-year-
old Canadian from Hamilton.
Ontario, put the kiss of death"
on his chances to win today by
taking the preliminary handicap
yesterday with a perfect score
of 100 from / 8yards. Only one
man, r. R. Barber of Paulina,
Iowa, ever has been able to take
both, the preliminary and the
Grand American handicaps the
same year. Barber did it back
in 1905.
