1nasmuch as the event is
some seven weeks away, we
feel it a little early to dwell
at great lengths on the pro-
gram which has been taking
shape for several months.
This will be taken care of in
succeeding articles during the
weeks prior to the date.
Our purpose at the mom-
ent is to 60 back in retro
spect through the quarter
of a century which saw the
steady and mighty growth
of a movement which was
to prove the granddaddy
of numerous other Croatian
Days throughout the coun-
try and Canada.
Due to the fact that we
were just a youngster back in
the days when the idea of
staging Croatian Day festivi-
ties was born, our knowledge
of the pioneering hazards is
a matter Of hearsay and gath
cred from previous meeting
minutes.
Late Editor Was Leader
In scanning over the rec
ords we cannot but feel tre-
mendous pride in those who
worked so diligently in insti-
eating and developing those
English-Speaking gatherings
back in those good old
days."
It is true that the younger
element met with stubborn
resistance from many of the
so-called "old timers" to
whom the Society meant
everything. It was difficult
for them to pass so much as
an inch of the reigns in the
governing of the organization
which they nurtured through
the years. But, in the end they
bowed to the inevitable and
the English Speaking move
ment was launched with great
gusto.
Much of the credit for or
ganizing the ESL groups
goes to the now deceased

Helen Kirkland gazed at st.

Animal Eoctory

Always scornful of stock
characters, in Lion" Du Bots
takes us behind the scenes in
an animal factory high above
the clouds. In a bright, light
room, made of crystal glass
and diamond rocks, 104 artists
sit on silver stools, inventing
worms, zebras, crocodiles. The
boss artist feels he is on the
track of something really big
when he decides to invent q
lion.
The originality and artistic
brilliance Of Lion" won for it
first place among picture books
in the New York Herald
Tribune Spring Book Awards,
but Lion" appeals to more
than the picture book age. It's
sophisticated humor so
charmed the editors of Life
that it was featured there in a
condensed version, like Du
Bots earlier Bear Party"
One word of warning: Adults
reading the story aloud to
younger children should not
repeat the publishers promise
that at the end of the book
"a huge lion will appear right

Some inventions catch the
inventor unawares. That's
what happened with the cloud
catcher, which Beany Martin
and Sherwood McGinnis in
vented.
THE idea started as the
idlest of fancies the summer
before. They had joked about
it at first. Then they made
trips to the library for arm
loads of books on weather and
physics. After school and on
Saturdays. they spent many
busy hours putting together
old boards, tin, wire, rope,
pipes and canvas"
1t took long time. But
after the boys find they really
can catch clouds in bottles,
they don't know what to do
with their wonderful inven-
ton. Suppose you caught a
cloud. would you know what to
do with it?
The fun really begins when
a freckle-faced girl figures out
how to use the clouds to in
fate balloons and mattresses.
Eda and Richard Crist,
author and artist Of THE
CLOUD-C CATCHER (Abelard-
Schuman: $3.50 have the
happy gift of writing not only
about but for children. This
book is in the same vein as
the Herbert" stories by Hazel
Wilson and just as welcome.
