stimulated the production in
May of 1856 of a national fes-
tival concert at Orchestra
Hall in Chicago, Illinois. At
this event a total of 500
singers sang in unison both
Croatian and American songs
and were given favorable re-
views by newspaper critics OF
the Chicago newspapers.
Need Support Of All
"Sloga" through the many
active years has placed East
Chicago as one of the CEN
ters for promoting Croatian
culture.
In addition to direct acti-
vities, "Sloga" has become
one of the sponsors for the
internationally famous Du-
quesne University Tamburit-
zans. They have come an
nually to East Chicago with
high quality performances ex-
hibiting Croatian and Slavic
dances and songs. This year
they will perform at Roose-
velt High School on Novem-
ber 25th at 2:3O pm.
What does Sloga mean?
Sloga means Unity in the Ian
guage of your forebears!
Lately attendance at "Slo-
ga" affairs has fallen off. 1t
has gotten to the critical
point. Won't you prove you
are a Croatian who believes
in Croatian Unity (SLOGA)
and give us the help we need? ?
Such as: 1. Active parti-
cipation as a singer; 2. Sti-
mulate others to join our
choral group; 3. Participa-
| ton as a sponsor; and 4.
Attendance at our next af-
fair, Duquesne Tamburitz-
ans matinee and dance on
November 25th, at Roose-

We cannot do it without
you. We are earnest in our
endeavor to ask your support.

East Chicago's "S|oga" Glee Club In
Plea To District Croats For Support
Officials OF Group Cite Many Reasons
For Necessity Of Backing Organization

E. CHICAGO, Ind. - Dear
Friends: The officers and
members of "Sloga" at this
time are making an appeal to
you, the Croatian people, for
your support. May we recall
a few things to you?
The Croatian Singing
Society "Sloga" was born
on December 2, 1941, the
result of a handful of Gro
atian men endeavoring to
initiate interest in Croatian
culture. Mr.. John Brozovic,
the present supervisor of
e. Chicago's Public Works
was it's first president.
Professor George Benetzky
was the first director of this
all-male Croatian Ch or a |
group in East Chicago. This
chorus was eagerly backed
by the Croatian people of the
Calumet Region, who were
justly proud of the vigorous
promotional activity for Gro
atian culture here in East
Chicago.
Shortly after World War
II Professor Charles F. Ste
phens became "Sloga's" cho-
raj director.
Operetta In Croatian
Following came the consol-
idation of NADIA, a Croatian
all-women chorus, with "Slo-
ga"
This joining of strength
was followed with increased
vigor and zeal to show that
the Americana -Croatian people
can do something. "Sloga"
has put on concerts of it's own
and has participated in other
concerts making trips to
Youngstown, Ohio; st. Louis,
Mo-; Detroit, Michigan; Pitts
burgh, Pa; Cleveland, Ohio;
etc.
1t was the first and still
is the only Croatian Sing
ing Society to present an
operetta + in CrOatian. 1t
presented Franz Lehar's
"Merry Widow" in Croa-
tan in 1854. 1t met with
such success and approval
that a repeat performance
was requested and present
ed with success.
In conjunction with the
American Croatian Singers

old Term contracts represen-
ted an ultimate $500 of the
most reasonable insurance
coverage in the world, despite
the fact that we were prac-
tically giving them away, we
were still anxious to improve
on them.
And, improve them we did.
At no extra cost to you (the
monthly dues remain at Is
cents) we now have a new
CSC Term to Age 18 certifi-
cate which eliminates graded
death benefits.
Whereas the old certifi-
cate prescribed a rising
scale of death benefits, be-
ginning with but SIT for
the first six months and
rising gradually so that
only after IA years of
membership did it guaran-,
tee the full $500, the ESQ
issues give the maximum
coverage ($60O) right from
age 1.
Significantly, the prepaid
dues remain in force so that
the new member, enrolled
within six months of birth
and providing further that at
least one parent is a C.F.U.
member, will receive a full
year of protection free of
charge. Furthermore our an
nual 5 month waivers for
Junior Term dues likewise
remain in force, SO that the
member pays but 7 months
for a full years protection.
Exchange Is For Better
In only one respect do the
holders of the new CSC Term
contracts give up anything.
That is the reduction In
Transfer to Lodge Credits
from the old maximum of
$3.50 to the new high of
$500. 1t is this choice that
the parents have to make
for the benefit of imme-
diate maximum coverage is
it worthwhile to accept
smaller transfer credits?
We think that it is and for
that reason have now given
you this added time to make
the exchange.

son than it was at the same time
last year. At the end of the crop
season last year, about 81 per
cent of the corn plants in the
state had been attacked by the
borer and there was an average
of 242 borers per hundred plants
in all the fields sampled. In Sus-
sex County, the infestation reach
ed the record total of 323 borers
for every 100 corn plants.
The borer also has made heavy
attacks this season on the states
9500-acre potato crop, reports DR..
Stearns. He warns that all corn
will suffer from now until harvest
from the combined attack of bor-
ers, earworms, sap beetles, Japan
ese beetles and fall armyworms.
Commercial growers of field
corn for feed or sale should con-
tact their county agricultural
agents to see if it is worthwhile
to give special treatment to fields
threatened by the borer or other
pests, he recommends. In some
cases, control measures this late
in the season will cost more than
the value of the crop saved.
For growers of sweet corn,
Stearns advises a special spray
treatment at 5-day intervals to
control the borer and other pests
attacking their crop. This treat
ment should start when the corn
has reached late-whorl stage and
continue until it is 90 per cent

Private tags and tattoo mark
ings cannot be used on a nation
wide basis because of too much
duplication, but may be used to
advantage within an individual
herd, points out Mr.. Schabinger.
He says that regardless iof the
methods used for identifying
calves, they should be recorded
along with the birth date, sire and
dam, or the identification will not
mean very much.
This is essential for herds which
do DHIA testing work so that
complete records can be kept. 1t
is impossible to prove sires and
trace COW families without proper
identification of all animals. Arti-
fetal breeding herds must keep
careful records to avoid inbreed-
ing of animals.

Spray the upper part of the
plant with DDr and malatrion
solution until the silks appear, he
says. To mix enough spray for
an acre of. corn, mix 8 quarts of
25 per cent DDT emulsion and 1
pint of 55-57 per cent malathion
emulsion nj 25 gallons of water.
Per gallon, this is s tablespoons
of the nDT and 1htablespoons of
the malathion.
After the silks appear, add 6
quarts of refined mineral oil to
this solution per 25 gallons. On a
gallon basis, add 16 tablespoons.
Spray only the silk zone with
this.

methods for identifying calves af-

DDS is ear tags, available to dairy
men in dairy herd improvement
associations or artificial breeding.

Farm Storage of Corn A Paying
Proposition Seven Years Out of
Past Eleven Says Economist

Proposition Seven Years Out of
Past Eleven Says Economist
With present prospects being
that a big corn crop will be har-
vested in Delaware this season,
Willard T. McAllister, farm man.
agement specialist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, urges Diamond
State farmers to consider care
fully whether additional grain
storage buildings will be needed
on their farms this fall.
He points out that farmers
won't be able to make full use of
the federal governments price
support program on corn unless
they have well-constructed stor-
ages available to hold the corn in
good condition. County commit
tees, of farmers who administer
the price support program have
to require certain minimum stand
ards in determining whether stor-
age facilities on farm are good
enough to prevent the corn from
getting moldy and dirty, he says.
Even disregarding the govern
ment price support program, it
has proved paying gamble to
farmers for Z years out of the
past IL 70 hold their corn in stor-
age after harvest and not flood
the market with it all at once,
McAllister points out, In only 4
years since 1851 has the price of
corn failed to rise sufficiently be-
tween October harvest time and
the following July to make stor-
age worth the cost.
McAllister also reminds farm
ers that they can get government
guaranteed loans at only 4 per
cent interest to build grain stor-
ages. He reports that up to 80
per cent of the total construction
cost of the storage can be financ-
ed this way, Furthermore, tre
federal income tax laws permit
grain storages to be written off
tax-wise in only years instead
of the Is to 20 year depreciation
usually required for farm struct-
ures.
Farmers can learn full details
of requirements for storing grain
under the government support
program and also minimum stand
ards needed for storage structures
by contracting their county ASC
committee, McAllister said. He4
also noted that the University's
county agricultural agents and
members of its agricultural engin-
eering staff would be glad to help
with building plans and ideas for
corn storages.
