n ust how important is that ballot which

Americans go to the polls Tuesday, Nov.

There are, of course, any number of an

But we believe that Professor R. M.

question to public opinion and accepting on
each occasion the verdict of the polls. Apart
from this activity of the people, there is
no way of distinguishing democracy from
other forms of government. Any kind of
government can claim to rest on the will OF
the people, whether it be oligarchy or die
tatorship or monarchy. One kind of gov
ernment alone rests on the constitutional
exercise of the will of the people. Every
other kind prevents the minority or the
majority, from freely expressing opinion
concerning the policies Of government, or
at the least from making that opinion the
free determination Of government"
All of which is a pure and simple def
milton of our Country and the rights of its
People; of the glaring difference between
the American form of government and
those plaguing much less fortunate nations
on this troubled earth.

This event honored Attt
50th Anniversary of admissi
memorated the 25th Anniver-'
sary of the founding of Croa-
tan Day in honor of the
Greater Pittsburgh Croatian
Day Committee.
This event is far more
important to us than the
mere honoring Of these
great personages, because
of its Importance and the
Importance to our member
ship in All understanding of
our position in this respect.
l would like to describe this
festivity at great length
and with sufficient detail
so that we can fully under
stand what took place.
The festivities began with
the playing of the National
Anthem in fine fashion by the
Biser Tamburitza Orchestra
of Conway, Pennsylvania, and
the Invocation by the Rev.
Albert Zagar, Pastor of the
st. Nicholas r. C. Church of
Millvale, Pennsylvania.
Then followed a dinner par
excellence befitting the occa-
sion.
Extol Nj. j. Horvath
Frank H. Becer, Jr., Treas
urer of the Croatian Day
Committee, opened the pro-
gram by introducing John R.
Segina, Chairman of the
Croatia a n Day Committee.
John, who was also a Conven-
ton Delegate from his Lodge,
made a stirring address of
welcome in behalf of the
Greater Pittsburgh Croatian
Day Committee.
He stressed the humble
founding of the Croatian
Day Committee by the late
nj. j. Horvath, former Edi-
tor of the English Section
of the Zajednicar. In glow
ing and eloquent phrases,
he praised the activities of
this Committee as a nom
profit voluntary organiza-
ton dedicated simply to the
honoring on one day of the
year, the culture and ira
ditions of the Croatian peo-
pies of America.
He recalled much of the
greatness of the late M. ].
Horvath and pointed out to
the entire audience present
that this group was a truly
American organization which
was only dedicated to the per-
petuation of the culture and
tradition of a great people.
Croat Man Of The Year
He then proceeded at
length to extol the great man
to be honored by the Commit
tee that evening.
He further told the audi
ence in eloquent terms that
this Committee likened An
thony Lucas to the MAN
of The Year" award given
by the many Chamber of
Com m cree organizations
throughout the I'm t ed
States.
And with that he turned the

The activities of the BOs-
nian Franciscans were in
terrupted for quite a long
period on December 3, 1889,
when the Turks burned
their church and monastery
of st. John Capistran.
Their activities i'm Belgrade
and Serbia were not re-
sumed until after World
War I, according to the
wishes of the then YugO-
slav government and by di-
rectiOn of the Pope.
AS soon as the Bosnian
Franciscans took over the
spiritual guidance of the Ca
tholics in Serbia and Bel
grade, they Immediately star
ted plans for building a mon
umental church in Belgrade.
Consult Great Sculptor
In seeking an architect,
they consulted Mr.. Ivan Mes
trovic. He referred them to
Architect Josip Plecnik, the
renowned Slovene architect,
whom Mestrovic met in Wen
ma in the home of the then
President of the Czechoslovak
Republic, Mr.. Masaryk, at
Lany, which Plecnik restored
according to the wishes of
President Masaryk.
Plecnik accepted, drew all
plans gratis, and the church
was started at its present To-
cation in August, 1929, the
roof completed in three years,
and on December 8, 1882, SOL
emnly dedicated by the then
Papal Nuncio (and later Car
dinal) Hermengild Pellegri-
netti.
The church was erected by
the Bosnian Franciscans,
chiefly with their own funds.
. 1t is dedicated to the
most popular saint of Yu-
goslav Catholics, st. An
thony, who is also revered
by many non-Catholics. In
addition to Catholics, it is
also visited by Orthodox
Serbs. There will be 800
of them at the Tuesday de-
votions to st. Anthony.
The architectural charac-
teristics of the church were
aptly described in 1882 by
Architect Aleksander Deroko
in the Serbian Literary Her.
ald". In the appendix, we
bring the main portion of that
description. From it, can easi-
ly be seen that the st. Antho-
ny church is actually the only
monumental sacred structure
in Belgrade. To this church,
Plecnik "gave not only his
ability, but a part of his soul'
as Mestrovic put it.
Years In Completion
The interior of the church
has been years in completion,
and is still being completed
object by object:
This year, the church was
enriched by one truly artistic
object, namely, a large statue
of St. Anthony, which the
sculptor Ivan Mestrovic made
in the United States, shipping
the model, 2.75 meters tall, to
St. Anthony's church last
summer.
That model was cast in
bronze last winter at the "a
greb Academy of Arts, and
was recently erected in its
place above the main altar of
St. Anthony's church, as the
central figure.
just as Mr.. Ivan Mestro-
vic created great national
works at Avala and Kale-
megdan, similarly, he want
ted to create a monument
of religious significance for

NOW, MOST OF US have made up

NON, MOSI Of US nave nidue up our
minds, one way or another, how we are 60
ing to vote this coming Tuesday Nov. 6.
We have had our fill of campaign ora
tory, of tall promises and solemn pledges,
of laughter and anger, of little white lies
and their next of kin = big fibs.
Americas great, quadrennial political
show has just five more days to play before
it's 1856 run grinds to a halt and the critics
- the voters - hand down verdict which
will decide the course the United States will
follow during the next four fateful years
in world history.
It may be that our personal vote will not
have been cast for the winning presidential
candidate when the returns are in Nov. 7;
that our choice for the White House will
bite the political dust for better or worse
Should that come to pass, we will have
no cause to regret the fact that we voted
on Nov. 6 - nor rue the day we expressed
our opinion, only to have it fall into the
category reserved for those who are des-
tined to be in the minority following the
outcome of the national elections.
At least we will have done our duty as
an American by going to the polls and vot-
ing voting as our conscience dictates in
the best interests of the USA.

Expect SOuthward
Move OF Ducks
By Seasons End

Ohio waterfowl hunters, particular
ly those down state, keep looking
northward for the large floclss Of
ducks which normally start moving
south about this time each year. So
far, however, most of the ducks and
geese in Ohio are staying in and "a
round Sandusky Bay and on a few of
the larger inland lakes.
In making recent survey of the
waterfowl situation in Ohio, Delmar
Handley, waterfowl biologist in the
Ohio Division of Wildlife, estimated
there were approximately 100,
600 ducks and 5000 geese in the
state, most of them in the Sandusky
Bay area.
According to Handley, there were
40 per cent more waterfowl in Ohio
last year on December / than this
year. Handley says further that while
the preliminary surveys looked prom
ising for successful waterfowl sea-
son in 1856, apparently the northern
"duck factory" which normally pro-
duces the ducks for this area, just
didn't come up to expectations.
With the current waterfowl season
rapidly coming to a close December
% is the last day. hunters are still
hopefully waiting for the mallards
and blacks to put in an appearance
on the lakes and streams down state.

Local Deer Hunters Empty-Handed AS
OhiO's First Statewide Season Ends

Ohio's first statewide deer season
in Sc years has come and gone but
from all local reports not single
antlered head has found new home
on a Bluffton huntsman's wall.
Several local parties took to the
fields in the eastern part of Ohio but
they all came back empty-handed.
Wade Bechtel, local night patrolman,
who relinquished his post to Mayor
Dave Riser and members of the
council for the duration of the deer
season, is reported to have gotten
fleeting glimpse of does tail, but
the animal was out of gun range.
No deer were reported to have been
killed in Allen, Hancock or Hardin
counties. Allen-co game protector Bill
Robnolte stated that reports of deer
had reached him from every township
in the county. Apparently none of the
local hunters cared to combat Allen
co conditions, preferring instead hilly,

winless since 1853, with two wins in
eight appearances.
Lower scores, a reversal of the
modern trend towards high-scoring
games, has been one Of the major
features of the annual holiday event.
Undoubtedly, the major reason is the
Founders Hall floor, a much larger
court than any of the local high
schools are used to playing on. Only
two games have seen scores reach in
to the seventies, with Groves u in
the first championship game the all
time high. Most scores have been in
the lower fifties with Pandora Gil
boas' "a in 1854 the all-time low.
Originally planned as round-robin
event with the site rotating, among
the competing schools, the carnival
has become a fixture at Founders
Hall. The local site was chosen be-
cause of its great seating capacity
and central location.
