Visit Children's Home

After this physical demand
was appeased, our delegates,
and particularly the ones
from distant points, who had
never seen the Home before,
began a tour of the grounds
and those buildings which
were open. The always i'm
pressive, invitingly cool-green,
campus-like, shady grounds
were a relief after the blister
ing heat of the long journey
here.
The Superintendent, bro.
Sarich, came to welcome
the delegates and make ar
rangements to feed them at
a prepared table in front
of the administration build
ing. Thereafter the group
availed itself of the few
hours to visit the picnic
grounds and the thousands
of people there or to closely
inspect the individual Home
cottages.
AS darkness settled on this
important segment of the
CFU domain we again board
ed our trusty vehicles and
headed back for Gary. The
route was purposely planned
Ito again include Chicago's
Outer Drive and a view, this

brightly lighted skyline.
More singing, more fun and
frivolity and finally another
day was gone all too soon!'

Midland, Pa. - First l wish
to thank the CFU Executive
and Supreme Boards for Sc
lecting three fine men to
shoulder the great burden of
handling the 4th National
Junior Convention, namely
Michael Grasha, Stephen F.
Brkich and Frank Braidic.
I'll say that they did a darn
good job, and 1 send my con-
gratulations to the trio.
On the train from Pitts
burgh to Gary, I believe we
had he jolliest crowd of
Delegates. / enjoyed the ride
very much.
During the first session
of the Convention 1 was
amazed to see the young
Convention officers. They
truly are the future lead
ers of the CFU.
The same day, I met DR..
F. ]. Arch, the Supreme Med
ical Examiner, and I am
proud that the CFU can af-
ford to have such a fine man
! with them. He is not only
human, but super human.
Outside of Gary's Croa-
tian Center, to my surprise, I
was recognized by Martha
Woss, whom I met ten years
ago in Pittsburgh. 1t was a
great pleasure to have been
introduced by her to the hon
orable Mayor Peter Mandich
of Gary.

thew Belanic, Nick Borich,
Matt Goretta and N. j. Niko-
lac, members of the Supreme
Board. l found that these men
are very much worthy of the
positions they hold with the
Croatian Fraternal Union.
On our trip from Gary
through Chicago, to De S
PLANES, the weather was very
hot, but I did not complain,
for l rode on Bus No. 2, with
a very jolly bunch of young
sters.
When we got to the
Children's Home, / had the
great pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Nick Sarich and his
wife. / never knew such a
fine man existed, not only
in the CFU, but i'm the us.
One morning l befriended
Joe Stanovich of Hamilton
Ontario, and palled around
with him until the Convention
adjourned.
Back To The Old Grind
Of course l cannot forget
meeting the charming young
lady from Anchorage, Alaska
! Mary Vukmir.
| / also better not forget
to mention that / met Paul
inc r. Stotz, the Manager
of the largest CFU Nest.
More power and luck to
you, Pauline.
These are just memories
now, as 1 put in my seventh
week of working in the stee
mill since the Convention.

Last of all, bro. Nick Hi

The program was opened'
with presentation of the COL
ors by Boy Scouts Troop $40
of st. Stanislaus and the sing

The program then proceed
ed with music by 25 accordio-

Ralph Studemann, a Spanish
Farucca Dance by Portia
Richert and an accordion solo
by 7 year old Jackie Tiran, of

Youngsters Make Hit
Next came dance numbers
by members of Nests 18 and
81, under the direction of
Mrs. Frances Dure, followed
by piano selections by jeanne
Tiran of Nest 473.
Our Croatian Radio Hour
announcer, Danica Drvar,
gave a little speech and the
meaning of woman" in Gro
attain and English. She
thoughtlwe didn't know that
in a few weeks she would be
married to Peter Braovac.
The singing mothers of the
Mothers Club took their place
on stage, each wearing an or
child which she had made un-
der the direction of the club
president, Mitzie. They sang
three songs, accompanied by
Johnny Petek and the Tam
buritzans.
These selections were fol-
lowed by our Kolo Youngsters
who did three dances. 1t put
tears into our eyes to see that
our children could kolo so

attired in their Sunday best
and straining at the leash, so
to speak, to begin this second
day of activities. Though the
Crystal Ballroom of the hotel
was temptingly comfortable
no one tarried, for the bus
ride to st. Joseph's Croatian
Church was awaiting us.
After riding about half an
hour we arrived at the
Church and Immediately be-
gan filing in. The building
was already well filled with
parishioners, but a section of
pews was left vacant for us.
In addition, the center aisle
was considerably narrowed
down with the placement of
a row of chairs on either side.
Our Mass ProcessiOnists
were the following Junior
delegates: NADIA Sertich
Nest 318, Detroit, Mich;
Angeline Sudac, Nest 468,
Sudbury, Ont; Helen Zele-
nika, Nest sos, So. Chicago.

With our seating the capa
city of the building was taxec
to the utmost thus adding tt
the ubiquitous heat, but VIZ

aware of this physical discom
fort. We personally felt +;
great spiritual calm and thi'
was true of everyone presen
as we assisted at the Mas

Father Ardas Inspiring
The sermon by the cele
brant, Rev. V. M. Ardas, pas
tor of st. Joseph's. was in
spring and most laudatory.
He reviewed the Conven
ton events of the previous
day at which he was presen

for how could it be otherwis
with an organization whicl
so faithfully fosters AM

faith of our fathers.
At the conclusion of the
Mass we, together with
bro. and Mrs. V. /. Mandich
and Stephen F. Brkich
made it a point to thank
Father Ardas for his fine
sermon and kind remarks
about the Union. Then
while the adult segment of
I the Convention and the To-
cal parishioners looked on
with obvious pride and joy,
the Junior delegates were
photographed as a group
directly in front of the
Church.
We then boarded our buss

ton of a joyful day ahead for
one and all.
By now it had become STAN
dard operating procedure that
as soon as the doors closed
and the bus was on the move,
a song would peal forth. Yes,
a good old Croat tune was
always in order!
Chicago Trip An Epic
The change preparatory to
driving on to Chicago was
made in short order.
The buses were loaded and
perhaps a little overloaded
for we had to procure some
chairs from the hotel to ac-
commodate the extra passen-
gers-guests and local people
who wanted to accompany
us. You see, it had gotten out
that this Convention group
was really living it up" and
who can blame the extras
for wanting to join us.
The trip to the Museum
was an epic. Our three bus
es travelling in convoy fash
ion cut quite a swath in the
heavy Sunday traff ic.
What would have other
wise been a tiresome, mon
OtOnous ride was, instead,
an adventure in true fra
ternalism, i'm sincere and
unaffected joy and plea
sure in the companionship
and unity that bound us all.

a true cross section of the
continent yet paradoxically
enough we were a unique
group in that perhaps no
where else on the face of tht
earth was there such a no
mogeneous entity, so com
pletely dedicated to fun; fro
lie and fraternalism.
Singing At All Hours
There was our Eddie Sa
bolic, Senior Honorary Dele

knows all of the latest Gro

Croats Invade Museum
Yes these and the rest of
the complement made an 9TH
erwise arduous journey a
memorable event.
The long ride to the Chi
cago Museum of Science was
thus made a short, happy
-jaunt. We arrived just a little
past noon and found a mass
of humanity already on the
scene, AS per previous ar
rangement we were immedi-
ately fed at the Museums
cafeteria. Here too the Croats
made quite an impression as
they were routed through the
waiting line while everyone
else was detained.
After the luncheon the
delegation split up into
groups and proceeded on it's
| tour of the various exhi-
bits. The Chicago Museum
of Science is a world fa-
nous institution. Our dele
gates, young and old en-
| .joyed this educational
portion of the Convention
very much.
At 400 PM we were back
in our buses and on our way
i to Des PLANES and the CFU
Children's Home where the
annual independence Day out
ing was in progress. AS if to
taunt, and certainly to tempt
us, the route led us through
the lake shore or Outer
Drive. The Windy City's mass
of humanity was beating the
heat, swimming in the Lake
while we had to grin and bear
| it.
AS if in disdain we sang al
the more zestfully, and be-
lieve it or not, it helped. Be-
fore we realized it we hac
reached Des PLANES, tired
hot and anxious to get ou'
and stretch.
| The convoy was pulled uE
right in front of the admin

grounds were practically de-
serted because the picnic was
in full swing and only the
lcooks had remained behind
We unloaded and everyone
made a "bee line" for the wa
