Channel 7. The teleyisiOn
appearance and coronation
ceremony will be under the
direction of Caroline
SWast.
These seven lovely candi-
dates are selling tickets, ad-
vertising and life member
ships in the Croatian Ma
tional Association. The girl
who sells the most and helps
burn the mortgage will be
crowned queen. The other six
will be her princesses.
Interest Is Widespread
Many are interested in who
will be the Queen. Will San
Pedro, whose candidates are
Mary Ann Mardesich, Millie
Medak and Asia Nizitich be
victorious?
Over in San Pedro are ma
ny Dalmatians, who are ex-
cellent fishmermen; will they
be the ones to catch the
Queen? Will North Holly
wood win, whose candidate is
Ann Martinovich?
Now to 60 to old Los
Angeles, where the candi-
dates are Katherine Match
and Liberia Puljan. In LA
there are many strong Her
cegovci, most of whom are
contractors. Will they be
able to bid for the Queen?
In Montebello, where they
have many oil wells, the cam
didate is Helen Elich. Will
they strike luck?
Don't forget to watch Tele-
vision, Channel Z, on July 30,
at 9:45 AM, and don't miss

ing on Tuesday, June 26,

with the way the popularity
of our picnics is increasing
each year.
Our principal speaker, bro.
Stephen F. Brkich, from the
CFU Home Office in Pitts

sion on all. He gave great en-
couragement for more growth
and progress in other activi-
ties.
The committee wishes to
express it's thanks to all fell
low workers who worked so
diligently and steady all day.
The various chairmen of the
committees took over a tre-
mendous responsibility and
worked hard.
John Gudlin ran the bar
well organized; Nick Marca-
tik's responsibility of the bus
was well cared for; Mrs. Va

counter unusually well and
Mrs. Srok was very successful
with the soft drinks. Steve

puddles spoil his barbecue at
all; the lambs and pigs were
roasted in spite of this OBJ
stacle.

them to carry on better and
more effectively their other
| fraternal work and duties. So

joy ourselves and make an
enjoyable time for all others.

Draws Huge Throng
Maryann LOpina
Is Award Winner

San Francisco, Calf. -
The Northern California Gro
atian Fraternal Union Day
Picnic, held on Sunday, June
"a, at Napredak Park, was a
terrific success! People from
all over California attended
and the crowd was the lar
gest ever turned out at the
beautiful park.
The weather was beautiful
and congenial atmosphere
reigned throughout the day,
as it does in a truly Fraternal
House on it's anniversary.
Some of the fraternalists
came from far away places
as did bro. and Mrs. Math
Kovacevich, Toni Middleton
of Los Angeles and former
vice-president of the Union,
Boyd Boich and his wife of
Phoenix, Arizona.
All of the dusty tables and
chairs of the Parks cellar,
which haven't been in use for
years, were carried out and
still we were short of facili-
ties. The barbecue depart
ment was swamped with or
ders. All the people could not
be taken care off,. even though
enough lamb was prepared
for seating capacity and a
hundred chickens, w h | c h
were hurriedly found in the
neighborhood stores, were
prepared.
We wish to thank all those
who left the park, ate and re-
turned to enjoy themselves
with us in a fraternal atmos-
phere. There was no question,
but that everyone present had
a good time, despite the lack
of seating facilities.
At 5 PM, the big gift of a
free round trip plane ticket
to Yugoslavia was won by
Miss Maryann Lopina of
1880 Stevens Creek, in Gu
pertino. 1t was presented to
her by bro. Chris Radovan
Pres. of the Committee.
At the ceremony, the third
Vice-President of the Croa.
tian Fraternal Union, bro
Math Kovacevich addressed
the audience and was warmly
applauded.
The Central Committees
President, Chris Radovan
was too busy to speak to the
huge crowd. He was dressed
in work clothes and was busy
the entire day, as was Milar
Popovich, chairman of the
day. Bro. Radovan, however
wishes to thank all the people
who attended the picnic ano
extends special thanks to al
his fellow delegates who
worked so hard with him dur
ing the entire day.
Much of the surplus turn
out of people this year, must
be credited to the effective
publicity given our 18th An
nual Croatian Day by botl
sections of the Zajednicar
The Committee greatly ap
preciates the work of botl
bro. Vukelich and Brkich.
We are sorry that space
does not permit us to mention
all the people who did so ma
ny good deeds to make oul
picnic such a grand success
but in time we hope to do 80.

minutes.
Did you know that you can usu-
ally buy broken cashews at nut
shops very inexpensively? And I'll
tell you a way to treat them so
that in cookies they taste almost
like almonds. Put nuts into
quart jar, sprinkle in about l t.
almond extract. Shake them up
once or twice a day for about a
week. And here's good recipe to
use them in:

2 eggs, separated
2 cups chopped almonds
(cashews
60 whole unblanched almonds
(or halves of blanched ones)
Cream margarine, sugar, add.
flavorings and egg yolks Il at a
time). Beat until fluffy. Add flour,
chopped nuts and mix well. Shape
into balls the size Of a walnut, dip
into unbeaten egg white. Arrange
on cookie sheet. Place almond in
center of each cookie, flatten
slightly as you press it on. Bake at
$50 about Is minutes.

. I. sugar

Cream margarine, add sugar and
egg yolk and beat well. Add rum
and vanilla. Beat in nuts and
flour. Shape into balls and stick
a whole Glove on top. Bake at 325
for 1920 minutes.
A small hint to end with. The
flavor Of all nuts is improved if
they are toasted little in a mod
crate oven. Spread out in a flat
pan and bake about 10 to Is min
utes. They will grind, or CRATE
better too. The meat chopper works
we'll, except for almonds for which
you really need a "Mouli crater"
