To Sacramento Mayor For Proclamation
Annual Winter Ball Goes Down In Books
AS A Social Success OF First Magnitude

Lodge 1884, who was sharing
the honors as Em-Cee with
bro. Glavas, introduced the
Ruza Tamburitza Orchestra,
under the direction of William
Blazevich. Everyone, especial
ly the elders, enjoyed their
songs and melodies.
Mildred Ristich, the
great songstress of Wat
sonville, was the final per-
former. She sang so many
wonderful songs, that we
can't recall which she did
best.
The Central Committee
wishes to take this opportu-
nifty to thank each and every
participant on the program
and to send special thanks to
all the hard working members
on the refreshment line, too
numerous to mention here.
They did a great job in serv-
ing the crowds.
We also thank Mayor Aze-
vedo for recognizing the i'm
portancc of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union as an American
institution and making his
Proclamation. -

The Annual Winter Ball
and Program, sponsored by
Northern California's C.F.U.
Central Committee, at Helle-
mic Center was another grand
historical event.
Successful as many in
the past, it gained the rec
Ognition of Honorable Cla-
renee l.. Azevedo, Mayor of
Sacramento, Calf, who
proclaimed Saturday, JAN
uary 10, 1857, as the Gro
attain Fraternal Union Day
in Sacramento.
A large crowd attended the
program and dance and all
of the participants on the pro-
gram portrayed great skill
and talent, which was ac-
knowledged by applause from
the audience.
Mayor Salutes CFU
After the playing Of the
National Anthem and reading
of the Mayors Proclamation,
Chris Radovan, President of
the Central Committee, well
coined the gathering.
Bro. George Glavas, Chair
man of the event, next intro
duced youthful Ruth Demas,
who did a splendid job of
singing "In An Old Garden,
accompanied by Lorra n e
Scothern. Next Steve Radman
sang Sleepy Time Gal" and
other selections.
Pamela Grippe's piano solo,
april Mist" received much
applause as did Ronnie Ro-
movich's singing Of "Kolo
Kalendara" and Love Me
Tender.
kOlOettes Smash Hit
The Sacramento Koloettes,
who performed locally on r..
V. stations, were in the spot
light next. Their rhythm and
unity of movements in dane
ing the different Croatian and
Yugoslav kolos was magnifi-
cent.
Eleanor Gould, instruct
or and director of the
young ladies, can be very
proud of her sweethearts in
the persons of: Mary
Fleshman, Ann Zean, Peg
gy Dedier, Bernice Van
Asahe, Mary Eisner, Nora

McKEES ROCKS, Pa. -
The regular June meeting of
Lodge 143 will be moved back
one day to Friday, June IA,

Furthermore, we wish to

Croat Day Committee
Set To Renew Annual
Tug.of.War Journeys

Pittsburgh, Pa. - The Gro
atian Day Committee several
years ago undertook to stage
a Tug-of-War match at it's
annual event in Kennywood
Park.
1t didn't materialize be-
cause of a lack of interest
which resulted in insufficient
competition. This year, the
Croatian Day Committee, at
a recent meeting intimated
that they would be receptive
to a Tug-of-War finals at the
1857 Croatian Day in Kenny
wood Park.
i Elimination matches could
be held in various sections at
various lodge outings and
would certainly prove an in
terest boon. M e m b r s h i p
would be limited in number
and personnel to strictly c.
f. II. members.
Neither we here at the De-
partment who make ourselves
available to application and
correspondence on this mat
ter nor the Croatian Day
Committee are interested in
any other competition.
For the present, the sud-
den defeat system of elimina-
ton would be used, with the
finalist teams meeting in
Kennywood Park Saturday,
! August 81, 1857, a C.F.U.
trophy going to the winners,
same to be won twice, not
consecutive for permanent
ownership.

Sports Department In
Call For Early Windup
Of Junior Pin Rebates

Pittsburgh, Pa. - With the
several tournaments Gaping
sectional activity, we desire
to close as completely and as
soon as possible the Society's
1956-1957 bowling season.
With this in mind, we call
attention to the fact that the
Croatian Fraternal Union
since the TX Convention in
Philadelphia in 1855 has re-
imbursed Juniors, who bowl
with a sanctioned team or
league to the extent of ten
cents ($.10) per game. We
ask that nest managers, lea
que secretaries and lodge
sports directors cooperate in
making application early, ra-
ther than have applications
straggle in during the ensu-
ing months.
The final league average
and standings sheet, Jun
iors' certificate number and
nest affiliation must accom-
pany the application for this
junior bowlers' reimburse
ment.
Please mail information and

In fact, it is a, continental

minion of Canada.
But the greatest number al

With warmth, she eX-
pressed high praise and
gratitude for the ladies of
her group, who had worked
devotedly to insure the
success of all ventures that
they have undertaken.
On behalf of her commit
tee, and the United Lodges,
she thanked all those who
were in any sense helpful in
the work of the United LODI
ges for the greater glory of
the Croatian Fraternal Union.
Very capably discharging
her duties as Mistress of Ger
emonies was Berta A. Barry.
Juniors on the program
were Nancy Popovich co.,

Kuhel (39), Camille Lesko-
vich (118), Frances Lesko-

One more comment seems
in order regarding the pro-
gram. It was so we'll received
that it should seriously be
considered a regular yearly
activity.
Following the finale, the
hosts and guests betook
themselves to the lower hall
to partake of refreshments
and to dance to the music OF
the Croatian Sons Orchestra
A final accounting has not
been made; so to what degree
the day succeeded financially
is not known at this time. A
lot of fun was had by every
one present and this after al
is the criterion of success.

male readers who may have
liked to know what the ladies
wore. Being of the male gen
der, we can only report that
they were dressed.)
