Powerful Lodge Today
Now for a brief history Of
Holy Trinity" Lodge 146.
Lodge 146 came into being
February "a, 1901. There
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1956-06-06

were IA members on the
books when the Lodge began
operations fifty-five long
years ago.
Lodge meetings were held
at first in nearby McKeesport
and finally moved to Yer
sailles, where our people be-
gan to settle and decided to
build their own Croatian
Home. The dream of such a
Home materialized in 1918.
The Lodge had it's ups and
downs through the years, but
managed to overcome the
greatest of odds to rank to
this day as one of the Soci-
ety's foremost Lodges.
The present membership of
Lodge 146 is near the 600
mark, $50 to be exact.
And for the first time in
fifty-five years a member
of Lodge 146 sits today as
an official of the CrOatian
Fraternal Union. He is JO-
seph Nj. Zalac, President of
Lodge 146 and a member
of the Croatian Fraternal
Unions High Trial Board.
There is, of course, much
more to the history of Lodge
LAG. But this will have to wait
until the necessary space can
be made available in the
Zajednicar.

large at that time will be the
McKeesport, Pa, Junior Tam
buritza Orchestra and the
Cokeburg, Pa, Kolo Club, two
of the finest such groups in
the United States.
The young McKeesport
artists are a treat in them

dancers have done a great
deal in recent years to
make kolo dancing a ma
tional fad.
Both the McKeesport and
Cokeburg groups will be at
tired in native dress and more
than uphold the culture and
traditions of the Croatian
people. Those who attend the
Saturday evening, June 9th
program will find it to their
complete liking.

"The year closes with the
Capital in the depths of an
agony of suffering such as 1t
has never known before"
That line is from an edi-
torial in The Star so years
ago today, but its subject
Washington's worst railroad
disaster-still is a lively topic
around the Terra Gotta area.
Many residents still recall
the scenes of horror in a
Washington vastly different
from today as the dead-head-
ing Baltimore g. Ohio engine
No. 2120, hurtling at so miles
an hour through a dense fog,
crashed into the rear of the
holiday-packed Local No. Sc,
waiting to pull out of the tiny
station at Terra Gotta.
Forty-four were killed and
more than 100 injured.
No. 2120, late and trying to
make up time, passed a double
green light at Silver Spring.
At tie Takoma station, the
engineer, the fireman and
another engineer along for
the ride failed to see a red
warning signal.
BY the time the operator
at the Takoma station had
rushed outside to see what
had happened, No. 2120 had
disappeared into the fog and
was headed for Terra Gotta.
The engine barreled from
the fog into the glare of the
Terra Gotta clay furnaces too
late to see the tiny red lantern
at the tail of Local 66. The
rear car of the three-car local
was exploded into kindling,
the middle car was split
neatly down the middle, and
the third was telescoped.
