since we heard Jay Blasko-

time she does. Jay is of Po-

sing and speak Croatian one
would never believe this was
so.
Tom Luketic, a delayed
pilgrim to these shores here
just a short time, was giving
out with songs unfamiliar to
our ears and very unfamiliar

then, kolo dancing and this

There was another type of

EThey seem to forget just
what sports event they are

to golf. as bowling. Seeming

when golfing. She can move

rushed to Gleason Park to

That same evening all were
entertained at an inlpromptu
party in the Croatian Home.
With old and newly found
friends, plenty of liquid re-
freshments, music and food

prevalent. Among those pre-

Ladaikas, Olga and Vic-all
from. Cleveland. Very much

one was neglected. To say
that they succeeded, is put
ting it mildly-its one party
which won't be forgotten too
soon. -
We saved the largest con-

There were quite a number of

This group, representing
two lodges, came from the
small town of Universal, in
Pennsylvania. This town, by
the way, is now, more or less
a part of Greater Pittsburgh

If we had to make a choice
among the mems attire, we
would take the senior Sima-
tovich. Dams regaha was a
bit on the loud side but still
neat. His combination of col
ors may not meet with every

can deny that he was out

The chief attraction was
watching the boys display
their wares in the Bermudas.
What curves-What lines
such dips-a lot of bows and
knocks-dimples, g lore

whole, everything is the
place. The women haven't a

sure bet that the men will
never replace the women,
when it comes to forms or
shapes.
Then, too, there was an I'm
official photographer on the
field. Took various shots on

Knot Hole Privileges
In Major League Cities

lIOouui SH, ~ - AS lIld-
jor league baseball goes into
it's last six weeks period, this
sport takes on more interest
among the populace. In the
Greater Pittsburgh area,
and similarly in other major
league cities, some Of this
can be passed on to the
youngsters. E s p e c i a lily to
those aligned in our nests.
The Pittsburgh area Juniors
can watch the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates in action through their
Pirate Knot Hole Club men,
bership.
Sufficient time remains for
organizing the C.F.U. Juniors
to take advantage of this on
the final such date, Saturday,
September 1st and this as
guests of the Pittsburgh
Baseball Club.
Amy boy or girl in the age
bracket of 9 years thru Is is
eligible to attend Forbes
Field on the Pirate Knot Hole
days. G.. F. U. Juniors have
been eligible by merely sign
ing the application cards,
some of which have been put
in the hands of nest mana
gers while more are always a.
vailable at the C.F.U. Sports
Educational Department.
The set-up accorded the
Croatian Fraternal Union al
so has considered the super
visors, one of which must
accompany every group of
twenty or less young baseball
fans. The supervisors, too,
can see the games as guests
of the Pittsburgh Baseball
Club. ...
This is indeed a treat and
is but regrettable that more
of Juniors do not come under
this advantage. Nest member
ship in the Society would take
on greater credence if more
C.F.U. Pirate Knot Holers
were organized. 1t is a known
fact that we have many times
more available to be Pirate
Knot Holers than we have
application cards.
AS always in any venture
or concessions, we must have
the cooperation of the par
ents. The nest manager can
not do it alone. BY attending
en- masse the youngsters get
to know with whom they are
affiliated as the result Of
their Junior membership in
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
A little action from the elders
and this courtesy of the
Pittsburgh Baseball Club
through the Pirate Knot Hole
privileges can make Junior
membership in the Croatian
Fraternal Union a shade
more inviting.

were told. Also present at
this Sunday afternoon meet
ing was Anne Novosel, long
time secretary of the Strivers,

was presided by John Bado-

I am afraid my husband may

Mr.. Eisenhower has called the

The measure increases Vet
