1t was the night of Halloween,
And nothing could be seen,
But witches and their brooms,
And small children sleeping ir
their rooms.
It's a very dark night,
And with Halloween fright,
No one can tell,
What will happen to Bell,
Who went out all alone,
But soon hurried home,
For someone had
Frightened her with bone.

That's what 1 couldn't bare.

Asphalt Roofing Designed
To Resist Damaging Winds

Roofing material for barns and
other farm structures, as well as
houses in locations apt to be
subject to high winds, needs to
be wind-resistant. There are
shingles and roll roofing par
ticularly made for this purpose.
Interlccking asphalt shingles
have been known to remain un-
disturbed on a roof deck even
though the deck itself has been
blown off. These shingles hold
themselves down by built-in
locking devices. A tab on each
shingle engages slot in the
Iadjoining one. After application,
the shingles are, in effect, a sin
gle woven piece of roofing.
Nineteen-inch selvage, double

asphalt cement is placed under

coverage roofing is the heaviest
type of roll roofing made and
offers the greatest protection.
More than half of the width of
each strip is covered by the
next strip laid. The whole lap
is cemented. The entire exposed
area of the roofing is mineral
surfaced.
Asphalt strip shingles can be
given the needed wind-resist-
ance by cementing the tabs
down. After application of the
shingles, each tab is lifted slight

Bro. Brkich first came to
the Home Office of the Gro

1910, serving as a Clerk. He
later became the Director Of
the Society's Sports-Educa-
tional Department and In
1947 was elected to his first

being the first Croatian Soci-
ETY. organized in the city of
Cleveland and state of Ohio.
AS such, it was a pioneer,
initiator and participant in
many Of the undertakings of
our people, not only in the
fraternal field, but also in the
social, religious and cultural
endeavors.
Lodge IA, organized in
1914, was a pioneer lodge in
Cleveland and Ohio and a
member Of the former Gro
attain League of Illinois. 1t
became, soon after it's organ
ization, not only the largest
lodge of the League, but also
one of the most active in the
history of our fraternal life.
The members Of Lodge IA
pride themselves always for
having initiated the move
ment to unite all Croatian Ma
tional Societies into a single
powerful union.
They pride themselves
more that they contributed
the most, at the most cru
cial moment, toward the
victory of the idea, "Svi
Hrvati jedna Zajednica",
which gave us the present
day Croatian Fraternal
Union of America.
Since both of these former
lodges always cooperated full
ly with all of our CFU Lod-
ges in the city, and partici.
pated in all the worthy move
ments initiated by the other
lodges, it is now the desire of
our lodge that all the other
CFU members in the city join
with us in this celebration of
ours.
