boost this tournament of the

which will be staged in
Youngstown, Ohio under the
hostship of st. George Lodge
&c of that city, September 1
and 2, 1866.
An invitation for pre-tour-
name n t and independent
games is hereby issued to Do
nora, Pa, Monessen, Pa, and
others on a home and home
basis to promote this sport
and to have a grand time
playing together and knowing

A Mixed Duckpin League
as well as a Tenpin League is
in the process of being organ
lied for the 1956-57 season.
All local C.F.U. members, ac-
tive last season or at any
time in the past, are request
ed to sign up for either of the
two C.F.U. circuits. This call
goes out especially to the
Johnstown fair sex without
which bowlers st. Rochus
Lodge has been the past two
seasons. Juniors, too, are
welcome and can be dovetail-
ed into our bowling activity.
Duckpin bowlers should con-
tact the Dux League officers,
Frank Stojkovich, president,
John Fabina, secretary or
Frank Sestrich, Treasurer.
The Tenpinners should align
themselves with any of the
following officers, eorge e
Hajko, president, Frank SAX
mar, vice-president, Thomas
Gojmerac, secretary or Jo-
seph Mesnak, treasurer. In
addition, the bulletin board in
the club rooms of the Croa-
tian Home has sheets where
you can also register for the
bowling season.
Johnstown will have the
honor in 1857 of hosting the
18th C.F.U. Basketball Tour
nament. A call is hereby is
sued to all cage enthusiasts
in st. Rochus Lodge 5 to
! make their intentions of par
ticipating in this tournament
known. Above all we would
like to organize a basketball
league of seniors and juniors
to play a season of regular
activities and be prepared for
the tournament next Spring.
Preparation pays dividends
and stirs interest in the men,
bership ranks. We Johns
towners know that our senior
entry made a commendable
showing last year in Mones-
sen, the best yet since we
have participated in c. F. U.
Basketball Tournaments and
could have had more reserves.
AS the 1857 tourney hosts we
owe it to the Society to have
both senior and Junior teams
and activity prior to the tour
nament if at all possible. For
this reason Johnstown baske-
teers make yourselves and
your intentions heard.

enjoying the fruit of their
labor. A large number has
taken advantage of the Of
fer and are today visiting
their homeland, most of them
for the first time. A present
able number Of 130 tourists,
travelling in two groups from
New Yrok, undoubtedly made
a picture together that we
can all look upon with pride
and great inner satisfaction.
So Of these chose to ride
on the airplane, while 67 took
the more leisurely boat trip.
n Of course not all of these
had gained enough points in
the Campaign to travel both
ways entirely free; some have
added from their own funds
the balance to make up the
necessary sum for the trip,
! which,, considering the dis
tance and the ground they
will cover, is very reasonable.
They are travelling in the
best time of the season,
when much can be seen in
the country as well as in the
cities. .
We Have Reached The Goal
At the beginning of the
Campaign, the committee set
a goal of five thousand new
m e m b e RS and prepared to
undertake an extensive cam
paign to reach this goa l..
Knowing that it is much
more difficult to enroll new
members today than it was
a decade or two ago, they
realized that it would be nec-
essary to roll up their sleeves
and work day and night to
8 achieve what they had set
out to do. Because of the
4 desirous and tempting prizes,
the committee was able to
stir up enough interest in
the Campaign, which began
). to show satisfactory results
right from the start. 1t kept
on hammering incessa n t y.
The pages of the Zajednicar
were filled with Campaign
material; thousands of words
were written, covering all
phases and bringing out all
angles. It was hard work ;
+. one does not want to become
>, too repetitious and m u s t
therefore think of something
different to say in each is
sue. But it was rewarding as
the time went on and the re-
suit became more evident.
The Campaign has yielded
very close to 5000 new mem
bers, and well over 4 mil
lions of insurance. It was es-
sential that we receive that
many into our fold, in order
to. keep up the membership
and the amount of insurance
in force. Would that we could
keep all these members for
years to come. But we must
expect to lose a certain num-
q Der of them during the first
years, for experience shows
= that it is in the newly en-
rolled membership where the
greatest losses usually oc-
cur. That is the reason why
J we can not pay the full prize
to the proposer Immediately
upon receipt of the applica-
ton, but must await a GER
:. tain period of months to col
d. lect from him at least as
much in dues as the amount
