We had read about and saw
a model of this contraption,
but to see the alleys swept of
dead timber and the standing
pins reset without a human
around and even return the
bowling balls, frame after

tion to us and we are proud
to admit that we had to go
to California to see this in

this tourney IN which thirty
teams eventually participated.
Our trip from Pittsburgh to
San Francisco which is some
35 miles north of San Jose
was by necessity via air, our
first such experience.
What a contrast, one and
one half hours air travelling
to Chicago and a few minutes
less than seven hours from
Chicago to San Francisco.
Compare this with the lei
surely trip by chartered train
in 1851 to the 9Th Convention
held in California.
Upon our arrival at the
San Francisco year-old Inter
national Airport, a palatial
structure and grounds, we
were met by N. J. Nikolac,
our Supreme Board member
residing in Mountain View.
We may have missed a phrase
here and there, of his de-
scriptive narrative as we rode
to his home. Flying at an al
titude of slightly more than
10000 feet to clear the Rock
les did put a buzz in our ears.
Once at the Nikolac fruit
ranch, where we met Mrs. N.
J. Nikolac for the first time,
we were whisked into a seat
of one of typical clan suppers.

ment chairman, simmer when

that we in this lengthy re-
port can give more than a
thumb-nail sketch.
Reverting to the bowling
tourney, events and squads
ran pretty much as per sche-
dule, Sunday at the Bridge
man Recreation Center. The
management was as coopera-
tive as we have seen at any
of our tournaments. Fortu-
nately so because of last min
ute occurrences to the Rado-
vans and the John Scurichs,
they could not pitch in with
the same extent as they or
dinarily do at C.F.U. affairs.
However, Milan Popovich
stated himself with Bill Bla-
zevich, George Glavas and the
Sankovich brothers, Albert
and William, so that at the
banquet that evening bro.
Popovich could announce not
only the champions but give
depth four and five runners
up in all events of the tour
naments.
The Victory Banquet at
Marianni's Restaurant was
attended by some 18O people
or more. Milan Popovich
moved matters along method
ically, Thomas R. Balaban,
not able to stay longer than
a half hour because of the
train schedule to Los Ange-
les, Luka Konjevod and yours
truly being the only speakers.
We do not intend to take the
wind out of bro. Popovich's
sails and report the tourna-
ment only at his behest.
An official prize list will
enumerate the champs and
other winners, with photos
taken in conjunction with the
trophy presentation in which
we were singled out to also
lend a phase to reporting a
tournament which in the
words which we overheard
was the best yet, on the al
leys and in it's social after
math.
To us personally it was the
case of meeting people whose
names having grown to be
commonplace in the league
reports reaching us during
the season. Whether they
come from the Los Angeles
area or from the Bay region
in the North-C Central part, we
think that their participation
is motivated as members of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
May it always be and in
greater numbers as the eyes
turn to Los Angeles for 1856
where Luka Pecel will head
a hosting committee. AS for
the 1855 chairman, even
though he did serve as an air
force captain in World War
II and did a stretch in the
Korean campaign more re-
Gently, Milan Popovich will
admit that heading tourna-
ments is a task too.
However, not that bad as
when you can look back to a
successful event; among the
contributing factors b. in 6
that Marianni's, in spite of
the name are Yugoslavs in
the Coast vernacular. Credit
should go also to Nick Bosko-
vic, the restaurant manager,
who made the emporium to
the tournament crowd more
inviting because he had his
own people to minister to.

FROM
WHERE
! SIT
By VINCENT S. BAKER

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - Last
week, we promised to tell of the
historical background of the racial
troubles in the Union of South
Africa-troubles which may bring
explosions heard throughout Al
rica.
During the period of the Cru
sades, Europeans developed a taste
for Oriental spices. When the
Turks conquered the Mid-Eastern
route to the Orient, a new route
had to be found for Europe around
Africa-around the Cape of Good
Hope. So, the Dutch East India
Company turned the Cape into a
supply point, allowing Dutch farm
ers to settle there to grow food for
the spice ships. The French Hugue-
nots, fleeing religious persecution,
settled there shortly afterward, in
termarried with the Dutch, and
produced the Afrikaaners of today.
The growing Afrikaaner popula-
ton pushed inland. to meet and
clash with a migration of black
people moving south. Though the
conflict continued sporadically
down to this century, the African
ers gradually reduced the bulk of
the black population to the area to
slavery"
Three more events had pro-
found effect on South African his
tory: The prohibition of further
white immigration by the whites

"Drouth relief amonting to $1.0O
a hundredweight in grain costs is
not the cure-all it seems to be.
From the standpoint of the states

can be worse than the drouth." !"
That's the opinion of veteran
Arizona stockman = as quoted in
the current issue of the Agricul-
tural News Digest, monthly publi-
cation of the Valley Banks agri-
cultural-livestock loan. department.
Supplementary feeds, while they
are a help in many sor even most
cases, are hardly the complete an
swer, comments the digest. "In the
final analysis, abundant rainfall
and warm growing season are
still the primary factors in profit
able cattle-rising," it maintains.
Corn, cotton and cantaloupes are
also dealt with at varying lengths
in the Digests current issue.
"Ensilage yields look very prom
ising - varying from IA to 25
tons per acre. Using an average
of 20 tons per acre, and estimat-
ing $5-$6 per ton as a selling price
for corn to be made into ensilage
in the field, it seems quite likely
that farmers will net about $25 an
acre from corn grown for such
use."
Turning to cotton, the publica-
ton notes: eff future weather per-
mits a successful middle set, Ari-
zona should enjoy a. respectable
crop this year."
It adds: In general, plants are
considerably smaller than normal
but many observers feel that this
situation has as many plus factors
as it does minus. For the most
part, cotton grown in the warmer
valleys of Arizona has a tendency
to grow too much stalk and, con-
sequently, not carry all the -bolls
