Queen Candidate
Frat Day Success
Talk OF Community

Cleveland, Ohio - I am
moved to comment on the
'Fraternal Day" Celebration
at Puritas Springs Park in
Cleveland last September 4.
The financial, artistic and
fraternal success of the Era
ternal Day Queen" Contest
merits specific mention. Even
at this later date, it is a
source of enthusiastic con-
versation.
To Queen Nancy Stub
ljer, and her sponsors of
CFU Lodge 4O3, we extend
our warmest congratula-
tions, especially in view of
the fact that there are
lodges with larger member
ships than that of 4O3.
To our own Lodge 80 con-
testant, Mabel Sasek, second
prize winner, but more i'm
portant, ladylike and modest,
we extend our plaudits and
are very proud to have spon,
sored such a worthy candi-
date.
New Fraternal Spirit
To all the contestants, at.
tractive, mannerly and first
prize winners in department
we are proud to be associated
with you in any fraterna
effort.
We must also mention
our recording secretary,
Frank Movrich, in his zeal
as campaign manager for
our Lodge 80 candidate.
We hope that this is just
the beginning of a new fra
ternal birth of spirit, and we
would be remiss if we didn't
congratulate the "Fraterna
Day Committee, too numer'
GUS to mention individually
for it's superlative handling
of the "Fraternal Day Cele
bration".

Can Only Blame Selves

Each Lodge Secretary and
Nest Manager will have to
check his membership status
for himself from now on, and
will not be able to blame any
one but himself at the end of
the year if his name will not
be included in the list of
those who will receive the a.
wards next March.
Over one half of all our
Lodge Secretaries and Nest
Managers received Mem
bership Conservation A
wards in 1854. 1t will please
us, and it will benefit the
Society, if, next March, all
our Lodge Secretaries and
Nest Managers will be in
cluded i'm the list of those
qualifying for the award.
The amount paid out for
awards over and above the
SIS, 900, which it is now esti-
mated will be earned by our
Secretaries and Managers,
will be money we'll spent, for
it will mean that our total
membership will have been
increased considerably.
So, to work, sisters and
brothers, while there is yet
time, and so that you will not
be sorry when it will be too
late!

In March of each year, the

Thus, every Nest Mana
ger can easily ascertain

This years jubilee cam.
paign for new membership
lasted only through May.
And, as successful as it was
for such a short duration, the
activities in the new mem
bership department had slow
ed down to such a degree that
our membership in the past
five months has been falling
off in the senior order, while
it has just about been kept
at an even keel in the juvenile
department.
In past years, because of
these special conservation
awards to our Lodge Sec
retaries and Nest Mana
gers, increased activity was
noted towards the end of
the year in obtaining new
members, thus at least par
tally offsetting normal |
losses, while in December
gains were recorded, name
ly, more new members were
admitted than there were
members lost in that par
ticular month.
At one time it was custo
mary to notify our Lodg'
Officers and Nest Manager
of the necessity to make VI
their membership losses, bu
no information was published
on their total membership a

a couple months before tn
end of the year, as is don

not know how many addition

Whether the suggestion was con.

The Apostolic Delegate to Japan
in 1945 was Archbishop Paul Mar
ella, now Papal Nuncio to France.
According to Father Peter Hum
bertclaude, who was his secretary
in Tokyo in 1945, the Japanese gov
ernment never asked the Apostolic
Delegation to do anything to pro-
mote peace negotiations.
One or fwo small Buddhist
organizations and one individual
came TO shs Delegation Propos-
ing that the Holy See should in
tervsns TO bring an end TO the
war. Each was told that the Apos.
tolic Delegate could take no ae-
tion unless he got dsfinits re-

authority. No more wss heard
from The visitors.
The Archbishop who occupies the

to transmit any peace proposals.
Nothing firm has come to light
from American sources TO clinch
the story that the japanese sent a
peace feeler through Catholic chan
nels.
A former official of the United
States State Department, who was
closely associated with all the pro,
posals directed toward inducing a
japanese surrender, told me: u
never heard of any approach from
Japan through the Vatican or any
individual Catholic prelate."
The story of such an approach
originated, apparently, with an
"agent" in the city of Rome. He
may have been misled by reports
about the japanese envoy to the
Holy See meeting priest who had
spent some time in America.
The basis of these rumors seems
to be the following:
In the spring of 1945 the priest,
not an American but having many
friends in America, was visiting
