on, a half hour radio pro-
gram every Sunday after
noon from 1890 to 100 over
Radio Station WESA in
Charleroi, sponsored by the
United Lodges of Four Coun-

this reason we are sponsoring
1.-The dance on April 30th, to
help carry us over until we
have our list Annual Croatian
Fraternal Day on Sunday,
June 26th.
During tn e past two
months we have heard many
favorable comments a b o u t

rious Croatian colonies but
you can really show how
much you like the program
by attending the dance on
April 80 in Cokeburg. Your
presence will help the pro-
gram not only financially but
also morally. This is the first
time in the history of the
Croatian Fraternal u n i o n
that we have a strictly CFU
program so let's all get be-
hind it and keep it on the air.
We feel that all CFU men,
bers in and around Western
Pa, should be proud of this,
their own program.

Montreal Teams Prime
For Loop Championships

Montreal, Que. - Several
new records have been set by
members of the Lodge 739
Nesloga Bowling League.
Alma Milonja set two new
highs of 142-359, until Mary
Pejnovich met the pin boy
half way and passed her sim
gle with 149-323. However,
she didn't give any trouble
when it came to the triple,
when yours truly rolled 146-
389 and set another high tri-
pie. BY the way, Mary, how
was your sailing trip down
the alley?
John Brusic left his own
1877 way behind by rolling
225. He also surpassed John
Paskvan's 444 with a high Of
474. Nice going, John!
High among the males are
Jack Radosevich with 171-443
and Marian Pollok with 162-
43O. Also among the highs
are Joe Markusich .161-39O
and Tony Bekavac 151-390.>
The Medvedi came close to
losing first place with a final
48 points to the Orao who
sneaked right behind them
with AZ points. Vukovi came
a close third, having As points
and left the Tigeri behind
with SO points.
This is the standing at the
end of the regular bowling
season; now come the play
offs and the big question is
Who will win? Tune in next
week for the results.

The affiliates of this group
know that such elaborate fes-

chievements of just on e
Lodge, so they band together
to do the auspicious occasions
proper justice.
A rich program comprised
of renditions from soloists,
singing societies, ETC., will
begin promptly at 800 Pm.
Should the weather be unfa-
vorable, rain or intense heat
such as we experienced last
year, the festivities will be
moved indoors.
However, should the gods
smile upon us and grant us
fair skies, the event will take
place at the Hall and across
the street at the Dosan-Saban
Picnic Grove.
Appearing for the very
first time in this territory as
guest speaker will be bro. Mi
chael Grasha, Pittsburgh, c.
F. U. Junior Order Director.
Here is an opportunity for all
our South Chicago members
to meet him and talk with
him following the program.
May we urge all CFU mem
bers and friends in this and
surrounding vicinitie to
make reservations now to at
tend the 10th Anniversary
Celebration of the CFU Jun
ior Order on Sunday, Septem-

been a frantic search for Aunt

The tree survived well, al
though some of the candy
canes and bags of walnuts
have been taken of during
the day, and one of the paper
thin ornaments met with an
accident.
There is concern, too, about
the string of lights which has
just gone out. There had
been some hope that this year
would be different, and the
lights would last through one
day at least, but the offending
bulb must be found. The only
way to find it is by trial and
error, getting the bare fingers
in among the needles and
testing each bulb.

DC. Transit Officials
Study Baltimore Plan

It is somewhat similar to the
Districts plan for a $272 million
inner belt highway, and plans
in the District and suburbs for
other belt roads and radial high
ways to cost additional millions,
In none of these do plans for
moving large numbers of people

except incidentally.
Opposite Effect
The Baltimore report said the
effect of the proposed radial
highways upon the downtown
area may be opposite to that
intended by the planners. The
fever-increasing demands OF traf-
fic with the emphasis on private
Ivehicular movement, could i'm
pose an impossible burden on the

statement about the commits

after six years of diligent ac-
tivity, the conclusion is ines
capable that off-street parking
is often a hinderance rather than
an aid to good transportation
Not only may downtown park
ing act to slow down the private
automobile, but 1t slows down
streetcars and buses. This meaiis
lost time for transit riders,
higher operating costs, fewer
trips and ultimately higher fares
