o We do not know what the new Lodge

4 Home cost in hard dollars and cents.
Probably small fortune in these crazy,
mixed-up times in the bloated economic his
tory of the richest, most powerful country
on the face of this troubled earth
But we are certain of one thing.
The matter of dollars and cents to one
side it took, more than anything else, a
solid, united Lodge membership front to
get behind the plans for their new Home
and see them through to the point where
it now stands in a civic class by itself in
the Borough of Etna proper.
Call it what you WILL we look on this
accomplishment of our members in Etna
as a modern day miracle - miracle born
of mutual cooperation and their faith in
that wonderful thing called 'Fraternalism."
Would anyone argue that this was not
the case in this particular community?
Not with us. We know better
Etna has long been bastion of the
Croatian Fraternal Union as witness the
fact that Lodge came into existence in
1892 - or sixty-five years ago.
In fact, Lodge was born two years be-
fore the "Hrvatska zajednica" made its
debut in 1894 to lay the groundwork for
what was to become in later years the
mighty Croatian Fraternal Union.
So, there is much to celebrate in Etna
this weekend of May 25-26: The dedication
of the community's new Croatian Homo
for one; the 65th Anniversary of Lodge
for another; the civic standing of our peo-
pie there for still another.
Many happy returns of the day.

The train ride from Badlje-

long, however, to wake up to
the fact that due to the Inter-
national Trade Fair, there
were no hotel roms available

The clerk at the Hotel Du-

Since there were no bath

was anxious to freshen up by
removing some Of the accu-

room and informed that it
would take about two hours
for the water to heat.
The hot water tank was:
similar to the old type In
the states, with copper
coils attached and heated
by gas, except that this
contraption was heated by
a wood burning stove. This
meant cold water for wash
ing and shaving every
morning.
I also received specific in
structions that the main door
leading into the apartment
building must be kept closed
after 9 pm. They also let me
know that there would be no
light in the hallway at night,

culties for several nights, and

Walking after midnight in

Slowly I would feel my way

Ia Cars to Schools

The District will furnish IA

ing programs.
Cars for the courses have
been provided since 1851 by
Washington auto dealers
through the Automotive Trade
Association and the American
Automobile Association. But for
several years, the number avail
able has been less than IA, and
recently the dealers notified the
schools they could not continue
to provide this service.
AS a result, the Board of Ed
ucation asked the city to furnish
the cars. Congress turned down
the request, but in doing so it
said it would permit the High
way Department to purchase
the cars from its own funds.
George A. England, assistant
to Brig. Gen.sThomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner, said
yesterday the Highway De-
partment has found enough
money to buy new cars for the
schools next fall. They are ex-
pected to cost about $4,000.
The first cars will be bought
when the 1858 models come out
and will be turned in each year
for new models.
