We Bunk With A Priest
AS luck would have it, good
luck, at that, the writer found
himself sharing a ca ab In
aboard the '1le" with bro.
Verbanic, an Italian Catholic
Priest and a young French
school teacher.
| The Man of the Cloth
was Rev. Mario Bugliosi, a
Priest we will never forget.
Headed for Salesianum
High School in Wilmington,
Delaware, he had been to
the States before.
Our other fellow "bunkie"
was Nj. Jean-Pierre Cosnard
des Closets, a jaunty French
man with the dash to 60 hand
in hand with his name. His
destination - a fashionable
private school somewhere in
the New England States.
Nor will we soon forget this
gentleman, whom we secretly
referred to as Butch" His
name was just too much for
us to handle.
And so, to America.

AVl ohtCs oits llC IL III
Annual C.F.U. Five Pin Tour
nament will this year be held
in the city of Toronto. This
rapidly expanding metropolis
Of over a million people is the
commercial Colossus of Can
ada. 1t is also the home of
the Canadian National Exhi-
bition, the largest annual ex-
hibition in the world.
This year, Lodge 961 "Sloz-
nj Slaveni" of Toronto will be
your tournament hosts over
Friday and Saturday, April
5 and 6. AS previously an
nounced in these columns, the
sports competition will take
place at the Olympia-St. Clair
Alleys, while the evening of
April 9Th will be reserved for
a Victory Banquet and Dance
at the Croatian National
Home, Dupont St. in Toronto.
With the March 9th ell
try deadline nearing, we
cannot emphasize too
strongly that with this i'm
pOrtance 60 also some per-
tinent rulings of the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union and of
the Canadian Bowling AS
sOciatiOn for a tournament
of this magnitude.
They will be adhered to
during this tournament and
to facilitate the Journeys ad-
ministration we beseech your
cooperation, starting frs t
with completing your entry
blanks by the stated deadline.
Open To USA Keglers
Foremost, the participating
boWlers must be members of
the Croatian Fraternal Union,
three (3) months prior to the
opening of this tournament.
There is reason enough for
this, namely, the Society adds
to the cash prize kitty of this
tournament by making a cash
appropriation based on $3.50
for each five-man entry.
1t is logical then to make
that small exacting of a
minimum C.F.U. member
ship since the Society's
sports program is part and
parcel of activating men,
bers and inducing prospects
to join our fold.
The tournament, as you
know, is open to all members
in Canada and the United
States who come within the
tou r n a m e n requirements.
Our American brethren were
with us when the first such
tournament was launched and
several times since, and we
trust that the 1857 running
will also see some entrants
from the States. The same
heartiness and sincerity goes
to our Canadian brethren
who, heretofore, have never

Mixed Teams Only
Further the rules of the
Canadian Bowling A ssoci-
alton and our own C.F.U. Five
Pin Tournament definitely
state that in tournament play,
five-man team, which is a
mixed combination, can in
clude no more than two and
not less than one woman
bowler. In short a five-man
all male team would not be
accepted by this tournament.
These same rules also apply
to the Junior Division of this
tournament.
Only boWlers from the
same lodge or nest can
compete in the 5-man team,
the doubles and the mixed
doubles events of this tour
nament.
The turnout of Juniors in
former years has been rather
disappointing. This in view of
the fact that the Home Office
pays for the youngsters tour
nament bowling fees. We
should aim to break the rec
ord of five Junior teams en-
tered in 1858. incidentally,
Juniors bowling will be con-
fined strictly to the five-man
event.
1t must be borne in mind
however, that a Junior Or
der member can enter
either the Senior or the
Junior events, but in no
case can he compete in both
divisions of the tourna-
ment.
Deadline Is March 9
Attention to these fore
going rules and the impor-
tance of meeting the entry
deadline, March 9th, has been
made with the express pur-
pose Of once again publishing
a tournament schedule in the
Zajjednicar. This can only be
done with the cooperation in
the field. After a decade of
C.F.U. Five Pin tournaments,
many feel that we have
reached that degree of ma
turity.
If there is any thing that
may still need attention or
explaining do not hesitate to
write to the tournament Sec

terrible cost to humanity.
But LIE Havre has since
made a remarkable civic
comeback and it's new
homes, factories, port faci-

to the tenacity of the
French people.
In fact, the group stayed
in one Of the city's newest,
finest hostelries, the Hotel
Normandie, and enjoyed the
luxury of modern sleeping
and plumbing facilities for the
first time since their arrival
in Europe Aug. 9, 1856.
