masterpiece.
Joseph j. Jurlina, Presi-
dent of Lodge 80, opened
the Program with appro-
pirate remarks, following
which he introduced Sam
A. Skunca as the Toast
master.
Bro. Skunca turned out to
be a Toastmaster of rare vim
tage, one who handled his
chores in such a fashion as to
leave nothing to be desired.
Lodge 80 is fortunate to
have such a capable young
man in it's midst.

Stephen F. Brkich, Eng

Ceremonies during the fes-

Home Office as speakers
were Martin Krasich, Su-

The National Anthems

This was followed by a
brief address by Maurice D.
Portman, Assistant to Mayor
Maynard E. Sensenbrenner
of Columbus. We would say
that this still young man
bears watching as a future
political figure of consider
able stature. He has it!
Lodge 80 President Jo-
seph j. Jurlina then took
over to deliver a simple
speech. He used no lofty
phrases, resorted to no pla-
titudes. But what he had to
say came from the heart,
from the heart of a man
who has long been devoted
to the Croatian Fraternal
Union and his people.
Quiet by nature, and en-
tirely too modest, bro. Jurli'
ma is without question an as
set to the Lodge he heads
with pride.

ton Director Forest Gustafson

Mr.. GustafSon said he is work
ing on plans to make the center
available to teen-agers for par
ties and dances two evenings a
month, beginning around the first

probably held on Friday even
ings, will be similar to a program
now in operation at the center
for junior high schoolers.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Gustafson said

canteen, now in its fifth week, is
working out very nicely. We're
reaching a large number of

Pvt. Crawford
Wins Trophy
For Shooting

Pvt. William S. Crawford of
the White House police force was
recently awarded the William
Randolph Hearst trophy as win
ner of the Oath annual interna-
tional pistol tournament.
Pvt. Crawford, who lives at
11713 Highview Avenue, Whea-
ton, won the tournament by
shooting 2S9 out of a possible
300. He shot at distance of IS
yards, aiming at a bulIs-eye one
and one-fifth inches in diameter.
The tournament, held in August
in New Jersey, is the largest of
its kind in the world.
Besides the trophy, Pvt. Craw-
ford received a letter from Presi-
dent Eisenhower congratulating
him on adding "a new and i'm
portant distinction to the great
record compiled by the White
House police pistol team through
the years"
A member of the White House
force since 1912, Pvt. Crawford
was formerly with the Montgom.
cry County and District of Col

instruction to special agents of

tional counselor is needed. Sew
eral weeks ago, the Wheaton
Inter.Club Council voted to help
pay the salary of such an
assistant.
Teen-agers using the center's
facilities have not formed a club
yet, Mr.. Gustafson said, although
they have been invited" to do so.
The recreation director said he
feels this is because the young
sters have been concentrating on
outdoor activities at the weekly
sessions. AS the weather gets
cooler, they will probably want a
club to organize their indoor acti-
vities, he feels.
