Society Offers
Plays In English

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Believ.
ing as we do that only thru
at least an annual Nest af.
fair can the interest of the
Juniors be kept at a keen
edge and even the parents
made conscious, the Croatiar
Fraternal Union through the
Sports-Educational De p ar t.
ment makes available to the
Nests a range of plays in the
English language.
We regret to say, that even
after inquiry with a source
in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, that
our stock of children's plays
in the Croatian language is
somewhat limited.
Those plays which we make
available come with compli-
ments of the Society. We
have even a few books to loan
that may help a Nest Man
ager plan or choose a skit in
the English language ire
spective of the season of the
year.
AS the Junior Orders for
tieth anniversary and COM
memorative Junior conven-
ton whips the enthusiasm to
higher pitch we look forward
to having more of our affili-
ates avail themselves Of the
facilities of what the Gro
atian Fraternal Union has to
offer.
We hope that the fortieth
year jubilee will among other
things bring to the adults the
realization that we have in
the Junior Order a large sub
division of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union. We adult men,
bers owe the youngsters a
program, once or even twice
a year. These plays and skits
are offered as a nucleus round
which to build your Nests
program as the Junior Order
in your center celebrates.

consumption has climbed fro
person in the United States
BY way of comparison, the
U. S. Department of Agricul'
ture points out that the tota1
national production in 1854
was slightly more than SIS
billion dozen. In 1880 it was
about 314 billion dozen.
Like other growing Amer
lean industries there are nu-
merous problems to face,
Through better management,
improved breeding of laying
hens and other factors, pro-
duction records have been
shattered. The 1854 output
set an all-time record high of
nearly 6 billion dozen. That is
about 71.5 billion eggs, or
nearly "a dozen Cor every
man, woman and child in the
country.
Record Production
Peak production calls for
increased consumption and
expanded markets. Continued
plentiful egg supplies has
stimulated action from the
industry. AS a result, an ag-
gressive merchandising cam
paign is scheduled for Janu-
ary by the nations poultry in
dustry, under the banner of
January Egg Month"
Poultrymen want to move
the liberal egg supplies into
consumer channels, and thru
the Poultry and Egg National
Board, all segments of the
food trade are cooperating to
promote greater consumption
of eggs.
In lending the Agriculture
Departments support to the
campaign, Secretary Ezra
Taft Benson pledged every
possible aid. All educational,
food trade relations, and in
formational facilities of the
Department will be used to
help in the intensive drive on
eggs.
Iowa Egg Capital
Eggs rate high in impor-
tance as a major food item.
They also represent an equal
ly important business which
contributed greatly to the
nations welfare and econo-
my. In 1880, cash receipts
from farm marketings of
eggs totaled 6O5.8 million
dollars. In 1858 - % years
later - receipts scared we'll
over 2 billion dollars.
In the Northeast area
alone, egg producers contri-
buted nearly one-fourth of
the national total - or better
than one billion dozen eggs in
1858. Cash receipts were in
the .neighborhood of 600 mil
lion dollars.
While Iowa. led the nation
in egg production 1862 million
DOZEN, Pennsylvania was the
second largest producer and
also led the Northeast. New
Jersey ranked second in this
area, followed by New York
and Massachusetts.

Englanders prefer browns.
Actually, color makes no diff
ference in egg quality.
Important factors til a t
m ost housewives consider
when buying eggs are quality,
grade or freshness, price, and

Bogdanich, Eveleth's tireless
artist, has added another
number to his extensive rep.

ments.
His works in general in.
clude paintings, plaques and
displays, and each project is
pursued with a remarkable
enthusiasm and energy that
overrides all obstacles as they
arise.
From Raphael and Rem.
brandt to contemporaries like
Parrish and Rockwell, every
artist seems to have a certain
indescribable individuality of
style which even the untutor-
ed layman finds no difficulty
in detecting,
So, too, has Bogdanich
Whether it is the techniques
employed, the materials used
or other less tangible reasons,
Bogdanich's art can be truly
labeled as distinctive, or at
any rate, different. His paint
ings could probably be recog-
nized by anyone who had pre-
viously. seen some of his
works, from among thou
sands of others in a simulta-
neous display.
AS for Bogdanich the man,
the word "artist" falls far
short of a complete descrip-
ton of him. 1t is a grossly in
adequate summation of his
most discernible characteris-
tics. Among other things he
could very appropriately be
called a conversationalist, hu-
morist and philosopher, as
t h e following observations
seem to corroborate.
In a recent conversation, he
said: II am not rich, but one
does not need a lot of money
to get along and enjoy life. I
have no automobile, but if l
want to go somewhere l can
take a bus. Or I can walk, my
feet are in good condition.
He could also be called a
naturalist, for he spends a lot
of time around the outskirts
of the city observing the ha-
bits of the birds and the bees,
or searching for rare wild
flowers and other of Natures
wonders; or even just enjoy
ing the tranquil beauty of a
sunset over Ely Lake.
Bogdanich's latest contri-
button to the enjoyment of
the people of this state, or
anywhere else for that mat
ter, is a map Of the State Of
Minnesota formed from ma
tive rocks and then cemented
into a heavy vanished birch
frame. The size is three by
three and one half feet and
the arrangement is we'll done
and attractive.
An element of surprise en-
ters into the display arising
from the fact that the specta-
tor himself probably realizes
that he had often passed by
unnoticed many specimens of
almost identical shapes, col
orings and textures as those
which when properly assem-
bled present quite a pleasing
spectacle,

Science Responsible

Science Responsible
Scientific farming is re.
sponsi b e for tremendous
gains in egg production,
Breeds of laying hens have
b en- improved, specialized
feeds have been developed
and the mortality rate of
hens has also decreased. Ano-
ther influencing development
is the use of artificial light in
hen houses, which encourages
production.
Statistics bear out the fact
that modern laying hens pro-
duce more eggs than their
counterpart Of a quarter cen
tury ago. In 1880 there were
322 million laying hens on
farms, and each hen produced
about 121 eggs for the year.
Last year, laying hens totaled
339 million, with a yearly
rate of lay of 1872 eggs per
hen. Most impressive is the
fact that while there were
only about 5 percent more
hens last year than in 1880,
they produced about so per-
cent more eggs.
At the beginning of Janu-
ary 1866, the number of lay
ers in farm flocks was likely
to be about 3 percent larger
than on that date a year ago.
The rate of production per
layer probably will be higher
than it was a year ago. So
January's egg production will
be at a record high for the
month - probably 5 percent
larger than in January 1854.
So, a "cackle" from the egg
industry for January Egg
Month" is a merited one.
Egg Habits
A number of surveys have
been made on consumer ha-
bits in buying and using eggs.
Fried eggs for breakfast
seems to be the most popular
way to use this nutritious
food. Poached eggs are be-
coming more and more popu-
lar. In one New England City,
it was found that most peo-
pie preferred their eggs boil
ed. About two-thirds of the
eggs purchased are for table
use, mostly for breakfast
meals. The rest are used for
baking, cooking or other pur-
poses.
The consumer studio S
found that demand for eggs
depended largely on family
income, size of the family,
and race or national origin.
One study revealed that Jew
ish people were the largest
consumers of eggs in New
York City.
One of the questions asked
was as to preference in shell
color. In many areas the ma
jority of people expressed no
preference for a particular
color. However, a sizeable
percentage Of New York City
housewives preferred white
eggs, while a number of New
