The peculiarly shaped mugs,
one of a number of styles that
came out in the 10th century,
are DR.. wilkins hobby, and
he enjoys answering the ques-
tions they inevitably raise.
His interest in shaving tools,
he says, stems from his in
terest m history generally,
and In medical history in
particular. Mugs began to be
used in barbershops about
1900. But centuries before
that, BARRIERS had performed
a medical as well as a groom
ing function. The art of
surgery literally grew up in a
barberShop. In medieval
times, BARRIERS were the only
available surgeons. In some
places, the title barber Chi
rurgeon"-or barber surgeon
was conferred on them offi-
cially. With or without the
title. they dressed wounds and
performed blood-letting and
other surgical operations.

United States was the center
Of the shaving mugs popu-
larity, but German and Aus
trian manufacturers made
mugs with elaborate floral,
bird or scenic designs and
exported them. When it be-
came the vogue for men to
have mugs decorated indi-
vidually to suit their tastes,
both foreign and domestic
manufacturers began making
plain china mugs. Some of
the mugs in DR.. wilkins col
lection have shapes and deco
rations which seem to reflect
the profession or personality
of men who used them. Two
that he found on the East
Coast, for example, have
nauClcal designs and symbols.
TITS hard to believe any one
but fishermen used them,"
he says.
DR.. wilkins began his quest
for the mugs two years ago.
He searched antique shops
and speciality stores all over
the United States and had
friends continue the hunt for
him In England.

Banquet Thrilled
Cecilia Lipovifz

Kansas City, Kans. - I
would like to thank everyone
who made it possible for me
to attend the 4th National
Junior Convention and have
such a wonderful time in
Gary, Indiana, July 1924,
1855.
l enjoyed the sightseeing
tour of Chicago Museum Of
Science and Industry.
My biggest thrill was when
Joe Blazevich of Seattle,
Wash, and l were chosen to
usher the Mayor of Gary and
his wife to the head table at
the Testimonial Banquet on
Saturday, July 2.
l also enjoyed seeing the
Children's Home in Des
PLANES. Before the Conven-
ton, I had heard quite a bit
about it and was anxious to
see it.
In conclusion, I would like
to say thanks again for the
wonderful time and I think
that the Conventions should
be held more often.

Sudbury, Ont. - I was ve-
ry pleased to receive a letter
from Mr.. Stephen F. Brkich
requesting me to write a few
lines about the wonderful
4th National Junior Conven-
ton, held in Gary, Indiana,
during July 2, 3, and 4.
1t was a great honor for
me to be one of the many del.
egates to attend this great
Junior Convention. I am also
very proud to be a Croatian,
and think I am fortunate to
be a member of such a Won
derful organization as the

I enjoyed my stay in Gary
very much, and appreciate
the W o n d er fu hospitality
shown to me and my fellow

thank Mr.. Brkich, Mr.. Gra-

Chicago, Ill. - We wish at
this time to cordially invite
all members of the Hrvatska

For the bowling year now

guys and gals enjoyed a high
ly successful season of bowl
ing during the past year, both
fraternally and financially,
and we sincerely look to even
greater results for 1886.
From time to time We will
keep our members and many
friends posted on the weekly
results of our bowling activi-
ties through the splendid CO.

guests to the Convention
like me. By the way, l want
to add that MIR. Nikolac
motOred 45 miles from
Mountain View to San
Francisco, at 2 o'clock in
the morning, to meet us.
We left San Jose about 8
AM. Tuesday morning for
Los Angeles, and arrived
in Los Angeles 600 PM.
There we were met by a
group Of friendly smiling peo-
pie and before we realized
what was happening, we were
in cars driving through Los
Angeles. We didn't know
where we were headed for,
until we reached the Alexan-
der Hotel.
Arrangements had b e Q n
made there for us by Mr.. Lu-
ka Konjevod, a very disting-
u S h e d looking gentleman,
who made us feel at home.
Desert Awes Delegates
There we also met M. Ko-
vacevich, Mr.. and Mrs. Bozu-
Itch of San Pedro, Mr.. and
Mrs. Pavesic, and many 9th
ers whose names, | am sorry
II have forgotten.
Mr.. Konjevod also arranged
for our dinner in Hollywood,
and all the above mentioned
drove us there that evening.
After dinner they tried to
show us as many things as
possible.
Wednesday morning most
of the Delegates went to
breakfast with Mrs. Birimisa
and Mrs. Labudak to place
that Mrs. Birimisa knew from
the time when she lived in
Los Angeles. Joseph Blaze
vich, my son and | were pick
ed up at the hotel by my hus-
bands cousin, Evelyn Margu-
itch, who took us to her Sis
ter Mary Caput for breakfast.
There l also visited with their
mother, Mrs. George Kriste.
After breakfast Evelyn took
us for a ride through Los
Angeles.
We were to leave Los
Angeles at 800 PM on
Wednesday, but the train
was 1 hour late: Mr.. Ste
fancich and MIR. kOnjevOd
saw us to the station, and
Mr.. konjevod stayed with
us until the train pulled
out.
Just as we were about to
leave, Mr.. Konjevod said:

rich also joined us there.
We left Seattle at II :45
PM Sunday, arrived in Port
land 5:45 AM Monday morn
ing and had breakfast in
Portland. We then left Port
land for San Francisco at Sc
ven o'clock Monday morning,
on the Shasta Daylight Coach.
The trip was very enjoy
able, in fact, it was the best
part of the entire trip. The
scenery through Oregon and
the northern part Of Califor-
MIA was beautiful and worth
seeing.
We arrived i'm Oakland,
California, at 1870 AM
Tuesday. From there we
had to take a ferry to San
Francisco. 1t was then l
began to wonder if anyone
would be there to meet us.
At 900 AM in the morning
isn't the best time to be
looking for a hotel in a
strange city, especially with
four sleepy youngsters.
But my worries were need
less. AS we got off the ferry,
there stood a tall handsome
stranger. l took for granted
that it must be Mr.. N. j. Nj
kolac, and it was, Smiling, he
handed us a nicely wrapped
box. The contents turned out
to be delicious California
cherries from Mr.. Nikolac's
own orchard. We enjoyed
them very much.
Distinguished Looking Man
From San Francisco, Mr..
Nikolac took us to Sunnyvale,
his home town, to catch a few
hours of sleep. We spent the
night at the Motel of my good
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Ivan
Wittle, also good CFU mem
bers.
By the way, you Eastern
ers, if you ever have the good
luck to make a trip to Sunny
vale, stay at the Wittle Motel.
They have the most comfor-
table beds, and real Slavic
hospitality.
d, Tuesday morning we had
breakfast, and then Mr.. Nj
kolac came to take us to his
home, where we met his
charming wife. From there
we motored to the Southern
Pacific Station in San Jose.
There Mr.. Nikolac introduced
us to the San Jose and Noun
tain View Delegates.
1t was there that l also
met Mrs. Katherine Labu-
dak and Mrs. Stephanie BIZ

ciety's policy toward bowling
which holds the interest of an
appreciable portion of our
membership will, for the
1856 season, remain as it
was in the past. The prof
fered aid is as liberal as the
Sports Fund can afford and
can scarcely be improved
upon.
Any Lodge or Nest group
composed of as few as four
"a teams of five (5) or more
bowlers each organized for
the purpose of conducting
Tenpin, Duckpin or Five Pin
activity anywhere in the Uni
ted States or Canada and
bowling to a definite schedule
of at least twenty (2O) weeks
will be recognized as a Croa-
tan Fraternal Union League.
Those leagues which COM
ply with the rulings set forth
by the C.F.U. Sports-Educa-
tional Department and for the
most part enunciated here
will upon proper application
be eligible for championship
trophies and awards made a
. vailable by the Croatian Fra
ternal Union.
The application for official
sanction shall be made on a
prescribed form and this
within sixty 900 days after
the league has started func-
tioning for the 1856 sea-
son. Accompanying the sane
ton application, which in
cludes a complete list of ev-
cry league bowler, will be a
copy of the league constitu-
ton and the bylaws.
In line with the definite
purpose of promoting sports
as venture for furthering
the Society, no league not
comprised entirely of C.F.U.
Lodges and Nests will rate
this sanction. A league fail
ing to qualify in this respect
and failing to report the
weekly activities regularly
will become ineligible for tro-
phies and awards and, in the
case of Nest league and bowl
ers, for financial aid also.
The Croatian Fraternal
Union will reimburse each
Junior who rolls in a c. F. u.
sanctioned league or an inde-
pendent, but sanctioned team,
to the extent of five cents
(S.05) per game. The Direc-
tor of this Department will
authorize this reimbursement
twice each season and only
upon proper certification.
This application for Juniors
bowling reimbursement must
be made by the League Sec
retary or the Nest Manager.
The League champions will
be furnished team trophy
and the individuals on said
team with trophies or suita-
BILE awards by the Croatian
Fraternal Union. A limit of
eight (8) such individual tro-
phies or awards to the league
champions has been set. Lea

Illinois The Beautiful
On the Fourth of July,
about 400 PM, l left for Chi
cago with my cousin Frank
Bruketta of Pennington, Ill.
In Chicago, 1 visited with
my cousins Mr.. and Mrs. To-
ny Bruketta and family. On
July 5, Frank and Mary Mo-
ri, also a cousin of mine, mo-
tored back to Gary to pick
up my son Stanley, Joe Bla-
zevich and Mary Ann Mataya,
to take them back to Chicago.
| saw that Joe and Mary Ann
were safe on the train home
ward bound and then we
started our tour of Chicago.
Cousin Mary took us to the
Art Museum so that my son
could see some of the great
works. There we saw the
work of Ivan Mestrovich.
That evening my cousin
took Stanley and l to Farm
ington to see my Stric and
Strina and our other relatives
living around Canton, Ill.
Illinois is a beautiful
state, and the corn grown
there l believe is enough to
supply half the world. l fell
in love with the Central
part of Illinois, but my only
objection to it is the in
tense heat.
l found that there are ma
ny many CF'U members in the
vicinity of Canton and st.

alone they receive about a
! dozen Zajednicars a week, and
the same amount of Junior
Magazines.

| Stric and his sons and daugh-
ters made me feel at home,
and I regret that I was not
able to spend more than one
week with them.
Officials Friendly Lot
l met a lot Of people during
the Convention, and found
that many of these people
were born in or their parents
came from Gorski Kotar.
l found that the officials
l met had very pleasant
personalities. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mandich were both very
nice, and DIR. and Mrs. Arch
were very sociable and
friendly. Others included
bros. Balaban, Vukelich,
Braidic, Brkich, Grasha,
Bella, Goretta and Borich.
Here, 1 want to thank Mr..
and Mrs. Steve Zelenika for
being so friendly to me, and
Mr.. Andrew Mikulcich for
the kind help you gave me.
I'll think of the other people
from the different parts of
the u. S. and Canada often,
and the memories will be
! pleasant.
Now | want to mention the
ladies in Gary, Indiana, who
spent their time in the kitch-
en-. These ladies should long
be remembered, for they are
the ones that kept us happy
with the good food.

The Famous Seventeen
The next morning Mrs. La
budak, Mrs. Birimisa and /
went to the dining car to
make arrangements for the
youngsters meals.
To get to the dining car,
we had to walk through three
coaches, and the people came
to know us as the famous
seventeen. They all wanted
to know why we were travel
ing together, so we would
stop and explain about the
CFU and the 4th National
Junior Convention. T h e y
thought it was wonderful.
They were all surprised when
they learned that we had all
Just met for the first time.
The famous seventeen"
were a wonderful bunch of
young people. Little Mari
on, our Canadian friend,
gave the boys a hard time.
They pretended they were
mad at her, but think
they liked it, especially Joe
BlaZevich.
At Kansas City we were
joined by two more young
people. We arrived at Engle-
wood Station, Chicago, one
hour late. AS we were getting
off the train, who was wait
ing for us but our good
friend, Mr.. Nikolac. w e
thought of him as our Guar
dian Angel. There he stood in
the heat, smiling, welcoming
us to Chicago. Upon arrival
there, we boarded a bus for
the trip to Gary. The weather
was so hot you could hardly
breathe, so someone suggest
ed that we sing and forget
about the heat.
Take A Bow, MIR. Mayor
Finally we arrived at Hotel
Gary. The hotel was decora-
ted with the CFU colors and
was a welcoming sight. This
was the arrival of the West
ern Delegates in Gary.
l took a liking to Gary i'm
mediately. I understand it is
only SO years old, but it has
grown fast. l think that the
fact that the Mayor of Gary
is of Croatian descent is quite
wonderful. To me, Gary, In
diana, is Croatia in America.
The three Convention
days were very exciting,
and all the young people
enjoyed themselves. The
trip to the Children's Home
was very interesting. The
grounds are beautiful and
the houses are kept imma-
culately clean.
On the trip back to Gary
from Des PLANES, l believe
the temperature must have
been 125 degrees. A kind lady
