cast a web of sadness and
gloom over the entire commu-
nifty.
Although he appeared to be
in sound health, without
warning he was fatally strick-
en- by a kidney infection and
within a matter of days he
was taken in death by uremic
poisoning at the Veterans
Hospital, Oakland, Pittsburgh
Penna.
Mike was born September
II, 1880, at Nemacolin, Pa.
He was a graduate of Nema-
colin Grade School and Cum
berland Twp. High School,
Class of '49. While in high
school he starred in football,
basketball and baseball, and
was one of the best all-around
athletes to ever attend this
school. After graduation, this
.well-liked gentleman signed a
contract with Brooklyn Dod-
gers to play minor league ball
with the Eastern League at
Lancaster. During the two
years which he spent in the
US. Army, Mike played with
the champion 3rd Army team
at Fort jackson, South Caro-
lima. Upon discharge from the
service, he resumed his base
ball career at Fort Worth,
Texas, where he was regarded
as a shortstop of value and
promise by the Brooklyn
farm team.
Our sympathies go tc
the loved ones he leaves; his
parents, two brothers, Ste
phen, a graduate of George
Washington University, anc
a member of the Washington
Senators baseball team, Rob
ert, who is studying for the
priesthood, and his materna
grandmother, Mrs. A n n
Opest.

those who helped make the
occasion a success.
First and foremost our
thanks goes, naturally, to the
chief cook. In this case the
cook was one of our own
members, Mrs. Matilda Doml-
trovic, who with the assis-
tance of Mrs. Mary Ivan and
Mrs. Katherine Payor, and
the Mothers Club members,
prepared several h u n d r e d
sarma and Dreaded chicken
dinners.
We can't take the space to
list the individual names OF
all the members of the Moth
ers Club who worked in shifts
during the day to help with
the various kitchen chores,
foregoing. their own house
work, but do want to thank
each and everyone of them
for the splendid cooperation
Sister Elizabeth Kolakovich
who worked almost the entire
day together with her young
daughter Rose Ann also de-
serves our thanks.
Hidden Talent To Fore
In the evening" night
club atmosphere emerged in
the Croatian Home-dimmed
lights, balloons, linen-covered
tables, and even a spotlight
for our floor show. The mem
bers of the Mothers Club do
mated strudels to serve with
the dinners, as well as delec-
table tories, and other cakes
for later in the evening.
During the evening we
were pleasantly surprised by
the hitherto hidden talents
which were revealed by the
Mothers Club. Sister Kay Del.
ZACH, dressed appropriately II
a Croatian costume, sang te
the accompaniment of the
Balkan Cavaliers Tamburitzs
Orchestra. Sister Rose Du'
brovich sang, accompanying
herself on an accordion.
A quartette composed OF
Sister Rose Dubrovich, Sis
ter Natalie Babich, Sister Ma
ry Klobucar, and Sister Caro-
line Markovich harmonizeo
one number, and sisters Nata
lie Babich and Mary Klobucal
sang a duet accompanied by
Rose and her accordion.
Mad Hatters On Parade
The climax of the evening:
entertainment came when Sis
ter Kay Kosovec announced {
hat fashion-show. This in it
self would not have been 81
spectacular except for thu
fact that each hat represent
ed the business engaged in by
that particular member.
) To the accompaniment 0.
the orchestra playing "Eastel
Parade, our models were
! spotlighted. For instance, Sis
| ter Marie Morgan, who oper
ates Lifetime Upholsterins
: together with hubby Charles
wore a hat (which she ere
ated) consisting of a larg'
square on which was an entir'
lliving-room-complete wit ]

, even draperies.
: She was followed by Siste
Irene Petracich in what wa
probably the simplest, We

mel, it bore an electric light |
bulb in the top, since hubby
Joseph is an electrician.
Sister Rose Dubrovich wore
a close-fitting bonnet tied un-
der the chin with rose lace
ribbon and bearing on top a
delicate cocktail glass with a
fancy mixer fashioned out of
pipe cleaners and decorated
around the bottom with POM
poms, represented Lambert's
Bar operated by hubby John.
Marge Perpich wore a square
bonnet with little flowers on
each side and a small refrig-
orator in the center for Per-
pich Refrigeration Company
owned by hubby Harry.
Oh, Heavens To Betsy!
Mary Zalac emerged look
ing like a cute geisha girl in
her bonnet which framed her
face on one side with green
carnations and bearing aloft
= very proudly, I might add
- a replica of a Texaco gas
station which hubby Joe runs.
Sister Mariana Reich wore
a lace-trimmed pancake-type
hat on which sat a jumbo beer
glass partially filled with
beer, representing Bills Bar
operated by hubby Nick.
Lastly, Sister Stimac re-
turned to show off her own
hobby which is shaping into
business - that of milliner
deluxe. She wore a creation
of her own, a snug-fitting cap
made entirely of pheasant
feathers.
The credit for the idea, as
we'll as for the work in max
ing almost all of the hats
goes to Sister Kay Kosovec,
who is one of our most ver-
satile members. Besides her
clever ideas, she teaches our
kolo class very ably, and has
proved herself a very willing
worker.
Artist In Their Midst
Another highlight of the
evening was the awarding of
prizes to two lucky individ-
uals.
An oil-painting of a Gro
atian scene was presented to
us by Arthur Sertich, hus-
band of Roselle Sertich. The
oil-painting was one he had
painted himself especially for
this affair, and we were
pleased at his gracious con-
tribution. The lucky winner Of
the painting was Lena Vidu-
sich.
The other contribution was
torte donated by Mrs. Anna
Stanich. This torte-calories
and all-was carried away
by yours truly who carted it
home where it was consumed
without taking the extra
pounds into consideration. 1t
was delicious.
During all this merry-mak-
ing we didn't lose sight of the
fact that a CF'U Membership
Drive is in full sway, but were
also successful in signing up
some new members, adult
and junior.

Stills of Spirit
To Keep Home Fires Burning

was with little that noted over the
weekend the discovery of "sl" for the production of
spirits in the home of Chevy Chase youth
Coming it did hard on the heels of our exclusive
news story of last week outlining the dilemma which
OF the spirited gentry of the County having in puch
ang just the right brand of spirits at the County dspen-
saes these days. thought the story almost too prompt
vndcation of forecast that County of distnc-
ton are being hard pressed these dreary days.
The mother Of the youthful bootegger is said to have
expressed amazemen at the discovery in the cellar of
manse and to have assured authorities that her is Gin
terested in nothing but chemistry"
Well the defense is not unreasonable So we suppose
is rugged individual along the banks of the Potomac
and Seneca interested in chemistry he anxiousy checks
the progress of his bruShhidden chemical experiment.
And of course the mbber of many strain of home brew
has been known to exhibit keen and sudden interest
internal chemistry after few gulps of disconcertng
elixir
On the whole, venture the guess that the
nifty is fortunate that the youth in question apparently is
odfashoned enough to confne his interests to chemistry
This is the age of the physicist not the chemist
repeatedly told But if the youth had taken this
servaon seriously his sole interest might have been
sonabe and fzzabe if you'll pardon the phrase
In the simple story of the Chevy Chase chemical ex
pertinent we read deep moral both the County and the
national dstieries had better stop their feudn' else
they will find that the whskey rebellion has destroyed
both of tax and market for the ready
made lkker.
Who knows, this interest in home chemistry may take
on Countrywide scope that will pop lot of corks including
those of tax collectors and retail wine merchants"

All Honor to Old Glory
AS Symbol and Spirit

In preparation for the advent of Flag Day - June IA -
this editor has been supplied with number of pamphlets
speech texts and Illustrated brochures.
All of these interesting tracts well intended,
structve and instructive They DEAL however, with the
form and ritual - the pomp and protocol of patriotism
Yes think it well for each and every citizen to fly
Old Glory above his roof tree June IA
But think it far better for each every citizen
carry with him 365 days of the year SOBER sincere deter
expression to that patriotism
1t is not easy submit to be truly patriotic If pa
trotsm may be defined love of country pride in it and
readiness to make sacrifices for it's best interest
to the knoty question: what action attitude any given
time and circumstance is in the best interest" of the
country.
There times, to be sure, when the question be
answered with relative and In time of
war, for example, one fights for his country.
But what is the patriot to say constitutes the best in
teres of the country with respect to the availability of the
Sak vaccine? Wherein lies the best interest of the country
with respect to school policy federal state financing
of roads, ETC.. ETC.?
1t is obvious that equally sincere and patriotic persons
will have do have vastly different concepts of the
'best interest" of the country in these matters.
To the extent that make honest and ndviduaistic
efforts to determine the national best interest without
tonazng selfish interests and prejudices it may
be hazarded will be truly patriotic And that fu-time
job the underlying and worthy goal of which Flag Day
is only worthy but nconcusive surface manifestation

their young that these parents look upon the enforced idle
ness of their offspring with deep and genuine anguish
Gone for many of our modern parental contemporaries
are those stuffedshrt pattudes about getting to know
ones children better that school has released the
youngsters for time about the home.
Yea verify, would suspect from the moaning and
grooming at tea party that these parents know their
offspring far far too well and would fan that teacher
tnue to perfect her familiarity with these sterling if bud
ding characters for many months out of the year
sibe This denial of the parental privilege under the
heading of unselfsh self-denal of course.
To these victims of the dark and evil period known as

offer this gay and half-serious consolation:
AS Dr. Peae might say - cheer up parents! The
summer months that stretch ahead offer challenge to the
spirit adventure in mature living in which both parent
and and child may enrich their mental assets with rich
fruitful exploration of shared personalities aims and apr-
ations.
Or, less elegantly grin and bear it. After ALL they're
kids and that can't make them so hard to get along
with = it? 1t might be fun.

Budget Hearing

over $500 per pupil, eight between
$500 and $500 per pupil and the
median was $3.50.
A more diplomatic approach
was taken by the Montgomery
County Educational Association
in requesting an opportunity for
its Executive Secretary, Eric
Rhodes to present facts on the
school needs.
On the other hand, the Mont
gomery County Council of PTAs,
accused County Manager Reese of
appearing to weight his budget
against the schools in several re-
spects." In a letter to Mr.. Reese
on June 9th, Jesse MacKnight,
President, declared that none of
the S3,759,687 revenue from
sources other than the basic Coun-
ty tax levy would be available to
the County schools except S80,656
from the State school debt service.
Also none of the $2S7, 800 of
County surplus funds to be used
for capital expenditures would go
to school construction nor would
any of the S667,000 "windfall"
from the new withholding pro-
gram in income tax, he said.
Mr.. Mcknight asked for
written explanation of the above
apparent facts to the many cit
liens in the County who are Deep
ly concerned about the quality of
Montgomery County school serv-
ices and the welfare of the chill

Since we have repeatedly expressed admiration and
veneraon for motherhood perhaps the following comments
may be excused on the ground of gentle criticism and
mild if perverted sense of humor.
Just as the of the summer patriot known and
