Last week end would have been
ideal for an early application Of

scale insects and overwintering
spores, of blackspot and other
diseases. However. the roses
In many yards still had their

take advantage Of the balmy

In spite Of the wet ground

Gary Lodge 10 In
Mardi Gras Social

Gary, Ind. - The "Croa-
tian Sons" of CF'U Lodge ITO
are busily making prepara-
tions for the Annual Mardi
Gras Dance, scheduled for
Sunday, February 20, 1855.
The gala festivities, better
known in the Croatian Ian
guage as "Krabuljni Pies,
will take place at the Gro
atian Center, 3679 Broadway.
In order to make this event
truly successful, the cooper
alton of our members and
friends is of the utmost i'm
portance. Therefore, we urge
all to participate in the true
spirit of the "Fasnjak", and
that requires costumlng!
The costume need not be
elaborate or original, any
thing will do but, "believe
you me" as quoted from the
inimitable George Goebel, you
will enjoy yourselves much
more in costume. Each year
we have more participants
and the Committee is looking
forward to this years event.
AS in the past, prizes will
be given for the best Co.'S
tunes and our ladies, once
more, promise us that deli
cious homemade "krafle", a.
long with plenty of liquid re-
freshments will be on hand.
Music by the popular Ser
enaders Tamburitza Orches-
ira, past masters of a variety
of dance tunes, completes our
agenda for the evening.

pear for the very first time
at the beautiful Pasadena

the scene of the annual and
world famous Tournament

The shuffling is slated to
begin at 7::30 PM on that
memorable mite and since
this musical ensemble is be-
ing brought back by popular
demand, may we suggest that
you be there at the very mo-
ment your favorite polka king

music for your dancing and
listening pleasure.
kovic, unlike most
bandleaders, has composed a
great number of the songs
YOU love to dance to and he
does a masterful job of con-
Quoting his own music. His
theme is characteristic of the
happy thousands who follow
him across the length and

and orchestral treatment for
dancing feet.

Meet

Cokeburg, Pa. - Notice is
hereby given to all G. F. U.
Lodges who are members of
the United Croatian Frater-
nal Union Lodges of Fayette,
Greene, Washington and
Westmoreland Counties that
the next regular meeting will
be held on the third Sunday,
February goth, instead of the
usual last Sunday of the
month.
The change was made be-
cause on the last Sunday of
this month the United Lodges
of w e S ern Pennsylvania
have their yearly Conference
in Pittsburgh and since some
of the Lodges belonging to
the United CFU Lodges of
Four Counties are members
of the United Lodges Of Wes-
tern Pennsylvania it was de-
cided to move our meeting up
a week.
Some Of our Lodges hold
their regular monthly meet
ing on the third Sunday so it
was decided to start this
meeting at 5 PM SO these
Lodges can finish their reg
ular monthly meetings then
attend our United Lodges
Meeting. For this session we
move to our next Lodge and
that is Donora. This meeting
will be in the American Gro
attain Citizens Club of Dono-
ra with CFU Lodge 327 act
ing as the host.

pleasant, others unpleasant.
He was pleasantly sur
prised to find his uncle over
eighty years old still living.
The family thought he died
years ago.
Coffee At Pre-War Price
Just as the officers of the
lodge had promised, there
was a plentiful variety of re-
freshments at the bar, and
in the kitchen our sisters
were busy serving delicious
sandwiches, home made cakes
and coffee. There is but one
remark l wish to make: They
served very good coffee at a
pre-war price!
Now let's move to the
dance floor. There were all
kind of dances; some of them
I was able to identify, others
I could not. One in particular
was very curious. I don't
know what they call it, but
let me tell you what it re-
sembles. 1t is similar to the
Indian dance when they were
on a war path.
Oh, what's the difference
AS long as they like it, I en-
joyed seeing it.
Sincerest Thanks To All
To us who participated in
this celebration it will be a
memorable occasion, not to be
forgotten for years to come
Others will have to wait till
the Golden Jubilee comes
along. .. .>...e

JOhnstOwn, Pa. - On Sat-
urday evening, February 10,
1855, the members of "St.
Rochus" CFU Lodge 5 will
revive the age-old festival of
the "fasnjak', the yearly pre-
Lenten celebration, with gay
festivities at the Croatian
Hall, beginning at $50 PM.
This age-old custom had
been observed here in Johns
town for many years prior to
World War II, but it's obser-
vance was discontinued dur
ing the war years. 1t followed
the pattern of our Halloween
celebrations in this country.
Music for the occasion will
be furnished by the Blue
Moon Tamburitzans of Pitts
burgh, a widely known en-
semble in the tamburitza
field, and a large crowd is ex-
| pected to fill the hall for the
event.
The affair will be in the
form of a Mardi Gras and
masqueraders will be given
prizes for the funniest Co.'S
tunes. A special cake walk is
scheduled, along with noise
makers, hats and souvenirs.
Old fashioned barbecues
will be order for the evening,
along with other delicacies
and refreshing beverages.
The merrymaking is sche-
duled to get under way at
$3.50 PM and continue until
the wee hours. We hope to
see all of you there, including
all CT. u. members in the
neighboring vicinity, Tickets
and reservations may be OBJ
tanned from the Club steward.

is the reason why we did not
see as many of them as we
would under different wealth
er conditions.
We started to celebrate as
the committee had pre-ar-
ranged-at $50 Pm. The
music was furnished by Steve
Orlich and his orchestra.
Even 1 was pleasantly sur
prised when the vice-presi-
dent, bro. Ray Bolf, announ-
ced that the same orchestra
played at the first anniver-
sary. Every musician received
a silver hat.
Best Wishes From Coast
Our tireless social worker,
bro. Fabian Babich, president
of the lodge, read a telegram
from bro. John Werhas, who
moved to sunny" California
with his family over a year
ago. It was a wonderful mes
sage. BY the way, bro. Wer-
has was a delegate to the 9Th
CFU Convention of 1851.
Among the celebrants no.
ticed a number of pioneers of
the lodge, one of them being
bro. Tony Kuffner with his
wife. 1t was my personal
pleasure to see them.
Back From Old Country
Then there was bro. Joseph
Grubach with his wife and
lovely daughter, Mary 10, our
star singer at the Goth CFU
Anniversary Celebration.
Bro. Grubach came back
home just in time to be with
us on this memorable occa-
sion. He was touring Europe
on official government busi-
ness.
IA IN orig other European
countries he visited the land
of his beloved parents, Gro
alta. He told me about some

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Early
next week Pittsburgh's new
All-University Tamburitzans,
directed by Matt L. Gouze,
will wind up their pre-Lenten
schedule with two perfor-
mances.
On Monday, February 21st,
the group will entertain for
st. Bruno's Holy Name Soci-
ETY., of South Greensburg, at
the spacious Greensburg High
School Auditorium.
The program is scheduled
to begin at 500 PM and will
feature the group resplendent
in new costumes, singing,
playing and dancing the old
Croatian, Slovene and Serb
favorites in the original style
which made tamburitZans fa-
nous in America.
Director Gouze is now be-
ginning his fourth university
ensemble, the former three
groups being at st. Thomas,
st. Paul, Minnesota, St. Ed
wards at Austin, Texas, and
the Duquesne Tamburitzans
of Pittsburgh.

their faithful friends who
faced the elements to trek the
obstacle course down to the
Liberty Hall.
Practically all the cele-
brants who had reservations
for the banquet portion of our
program had signed in by the
designated hour of $50 and
the caterers proceeded to
serve delicious meal. All
guests were heartily satisfied
with the excellent service.
CFU Film Disappoints
Many prominent local and
civic figures were seen enjoy
ing the festivities but, rather
than take the risk of unin-
tentionally forgetting some
one, we will refrain from
naming them. Nevertheless
we were happy to have them
with us.
Our only disappointment of
the evening came when the
film "This Is Your Croatian
Fraternal Union" was
shown. Due to inadequate
power in the hall, the sound
portion of the film was very
bad, with the commentary
being pretty we'll garbled and
very difficult to understand.
We were informed that the
power needed a booster" for
the film to be clear and it
was too late to do anything
about it on Saturday. Most
of our guests, however, were
very kind and made the most
of the movie right to the end.
Cooperation Was Grand
Although our Committee
members expended great eff
fort in dispensing of the tic
kets, we know that a great
deal of our success was due
to the tremendous publicity
given the affair through the
medium of radio and the
"Zajednicar."
We, therefore, express our
heartfelt appreciation to bro.
Stephen F. Brkich, English
Editor of the "Zee", and to
radio announcers Mark Vim
ski, Matt Gouze, Tony Braj-
die and sister Charlene Vuke-
la for their time and their
services, in our behalf.
We also pen our gratitude
to bro. V. 1. Mandich, CFU
Supreme President, who took
time out to salute our Lodge
and our guests as our only
speaker of the evening.
Last but not least, the
"Trojans" are grateful to the
Matesic Floral Shoppe, 1904
Brownsville Road, for the
lovely flowers which Robert
and Irene Matesic so kindly
donated and which graced our
speakers table. incidentally,
for the finest floral arrange
ments for any occasion, call
the Matesics at plantation

. One thing I like about
show business is that people
are judged on the basis of
their ability, not because of
their race, color or creed. And
that's the way it should be in
