Toast Silver Anniversary November Il
Marquette Hall, 69O8 So. Western, To
Be Scene Of POst-Armistice Day Reunion

Chicago, Ill. - In our last
article we announced the Sill
yer Anniversary dance of
Chicago's Progress Lodge
749.
In the said article we spoke
of the fun, the kind which
one can have only once in Is
years. This is especially true
in the case of those of us
who live in a city as big as
Chicago, where people just
don't run into each other ev-
cry day.
As we said in our last
article, Augie Tomich was
our first president, Steve
SmetkO our first secretary,
and Marie Grachen our
first treasurer. We see Au-
gle occasionally, but Steve
and Marie we see very, We
ry seldom.
Steve will be remembered
as being one of our best base
ball players, but that was 25
years ago. Since that time he
has been doing a good job of
raising a large family, and
has developed a nice shiny
top. You'll see.
Like all girls do sooner or
later, Marie too has long ago
changed her last name.
She is now known as Mrs.
Janus and together with Mr..
Janus has done a very good
job of raising a good sized
family, although Marie does
not look it.
Who knows the where.

hASnEsoS AA~ -
Social Season is just about to
get under way among our
clubs and lodges here in Chi
cago. Among the awaited
events as we notified you
earlier, through these col
umns, is Harmony's Fall
Frolic.
We're hoping that history
repeats itself and that last
years gratifying success will
be topped by this years
event.
Because Of public opinion
and justly so, the Glee Club
is adding a choral part to the
program for the large num-
ber of people among our audi
ence who still expect a Glee
Club to perform as one. For
all though, we have our Show
Part, as we call it, which was
inaugurated last year and
will be presented again.
This year, however, one
section has a definite theme
background to it, that lends
itself to high, wide and hand
some entertainment.
Our younger members are
taking over the show and
have chosen to set part of the
action in the Roaring Twen-
ties which should produce
some very entertaining ma
terial. We can't 'let the cat
out of the bag" on this SUBJ
ject, but we can hint that
certain numbers and certain
performers are going to be
remembered after the show.
Even though they are per-
forming under wraps" as
yet, some of the acts show
considerable promise and vii.
cause plenty of comment.
Whatever plans you might
have for the next few weeks
of this month, be sure you
include a visit to the Concert
and Fall Frolic of Harmony
Saturday, October 20.
It could possibly prove tc
be the most profitable night
of entertainment you've hac
for some time. To be certain
of this, be there, and have
fun in the rollicking atmos
phere created by a Glee Clut
having fun, while performing
and an audience thoroughly
enjoying itself wa t c h j n
them.
Of course there will b.
dancing, refreshments, ane
) probably a lot of harmonic
ing as is the custom will
this type of an affair. Their
really is no reason you shoul(
not get in on the fun.

Deserve Endless Praise
AS we mentioned in our
remarks, we cannot help but
feel proud of these young
sters, all members of our
great CFU.
They deserve endless praise
for their willingness to de-
vote many, many hours to
this cultural side of our life.
Though two and more gene
rations removed from the
scene of the origin of these
dances, songs and music, they
nevertheless embrace them as
their very own and with a
sincerity and competence that
neither time nor geography
can diminish.
Indeed, Americas edu-
Gators, psychologists and
sociologists may well take
a lesson from these artists
in the gainful occupation Of
youthful "free time" and
the successful eradication
of that misnOmer, juvenile
delinquency. Yes, verify,
we are proud of our Jun
iOrs who are a credit to
their organization, their
parents and their country.
An equal measure of COM
mendation is due, of course,
to the parents and others
who by their individual ef-
forts or through the media
of local CFU units foster this
most worthy program.
And, as we stated in our
remarks to the audience, in
the final analysis it is our
CFU which is the vehicle, the
motivating agent, in all these
endeavors.
Without it there would be
no Croatian music, no Croat
dancing, no Croat culture in
America a century after the
very first immigration wave,
almost four decades since
that immigration practically
, ceased.

from Coast to Coast in both
the United States and Cana
da from the very beginning
of the year to it's very end.
The outstanding juvenile
function was the 4th National
Junior Convention July IA,
1855, at Gary, Indiana, but
each and every event which
had it's cause or effect in Jun
ior participation has had our
personal blessing and well
wishes.
One such date was the
Second Annual COnce
presented by the SlOga
Tamburitzans of Farrell,
Pa, on Saturday, October
18th, at the Farrell Junior
High School. We had been
invited as guest speaker
and CFU representative
and happily accepted.
Upon arrival, about half an
hour before concert time, we
found that t h e spacious
school auditorium was al
ready well filled. Two buses
were parked in front of the
building. These had brought
the guest artists, the McKees-
port Junior Tamburitzans and
their entourage of faithful
fans.

The program for the eve

appointed hour 7:3O PM
and appropriately so with th'
"Sloga" Tammies in full
strength and colorfully cos
tuned, playing the American
and Croatian Anthems.
Frank Egercic then wei
coined all and introduced
Emil Bossick, who there
after ably emceed the fast
moving, completely engros-
sing program which was
presented in three distinct
parts.
The first portion was don
by the host ensemble, Sloga
This consisted of solos an
duets in singing and playini
and of whole ensemble mum

A newly formed group O
young dancers under the abl
