JOhnstown, Pa. - The G..

provements which included
besides the customary lane
resurfacing, new seating faci-
lities, newly painted walls and
new lighting to give the Rialto
Lanes a "new look that is
tops in town.
The attendance for the
opener was exceptionally
good, just about perfect and
the general mood was in line
to the setting.
Prevalent too was the de-
sire to get off on the right
foot as two of the teams
chalked up 80 victories, the
Lodgemen doing it against
the Morticians and tn {
Churchmen to the PavicE
Amusements.
John Rozich, 19S-49S was

South Chi Loop
Makes CFU Debut

So. Chicago, Ill. - AS each
member, at a recent session,
of the six team mixed league
of C.F.U. keglers in So. Chi
cago stood facing his wooden
nemesis, one could, just by
scanning the front lines of the
approach, see several genera
tons of C.F.U. members rep
resented.
An unusual but most heart
warming sight, when instead
of the poker faced look" that
is carried by a great many
bowlers (as though he or she
were stalking prey), the look
of pleasantness, accompanied
with a few timely tips to
youngsters and even oldsters
making their debut is the rule.
This desire to assist on
the part Of the somewhat
seasoned pinsters gives one
a feeling of assurance.
1t marks the difference OF
belonging to something that
is not just an insurance or
ganization or a bowling league
where Mr.. Individual is mo-
tivated solely by his own de-
sire to win, and with all the
more lesser able persons sur
rounding him, the better will
be his chances to be on top.
In fraternal organization or
league matters are different.
Getting to the scores a.
mong the men, individual
first and second high
games were rolled by Mar
tin Boich of team No. 2
in 187-432 and Joe Gakich
of the same squad with
186-466. For the women
Julia Stropin of Team No.
l rolled 154-377 and Nevis
Bradicich of team No. 4
came through with a AL
1913 card.
We extend a cordial invi-
tation to any C.F.U. member
who wishes to affiliate with
our league. Our plans have
been altered so as to carry
more people per team. This
flexibility stemming from the
interest shown by C.F.U.
members in bowling. If inter-
ested please call SA-1-2726.

Sudbury KegIers
Join CFU Network

Sudbury, Ont. - It has
been a long time since this
community has been heard
from in terms Of c. F. y.
sports activity. We in Sud-
bury have formed a League
strictly with C.F.U. members
from the two lodges located
here.
Finally, it seems we are get
ting places and it, honestly,
looks good for a change. In
my personal estimation, it
took the Croatian Fraternal
Union to get our youngsters
and a few of the older crowd,
like myself and a few others,
to start the ball rolling.
We have organized under
the hard work of Mrs. Anne
PrimOrac to the tune of six
teams. There may be ano-
ther two formed in the very
near future. Two gents and
three ladies comprise each
team.
We started to bowl Septem-
ber 14th. Anytime you are
mot doing anything Saturday
evening drop in on us at the
Uptown Alleys on Elm Street
where you'll find Sudbury's s
C.F.U. activity perking from
Z pm. thereon.
Sudbury may not be the
biggest C.F.U. or Canadian
metropolis but we aim to be
heard from more often thar
heretofore.

BAHIA * is Children Hold Open
House Sunday Morning

An open house for Bahai
Children Glasses will be held
on Sunday morning from 10 to
II O'Clock at the home of Mrs.
Victor Bauman, 1740 West Null
berry. The children will explain
studies covered during the past

various families serving as host
on monthly rotating basis.
Courses of study, planned for
pre- schoolers through the col
lege level, include themes re-
lated to the wonders and beauty
of creation, the significance of
the child'S own physical, mental
and spiritual gifts, culture and.
religion of peoples througout
theworld, study of the Christ
ian Bible, a search into the his
tory and teachings Of Islam,
and application of the Baha,f
ideals for life in the world to-
day. Parents meet at the same
time to consult together on the

The Bahai goal Of education
is to cultivate the child'S mental
and spiritual powers, guide his
relationship with others and de-4
velop his ability to investigate
independently, according to
Mrs. Robert Phillips, chairman
of the local children'S COM
mittee. Baha'is make no diStinc-
tion of race, nationality, or
creed, welcoming all who search
for, religious truth.

cation for their children are in

THE ANSWERED PRAYER

Slowly have learned, God answers prayer {
Slowly have learned this vital thing:
That my petition loosed upon the air,
Will reach it's destination, and will bring
The answer that will be the best for me
Inevitably.
Slowly, OH so slowly have learned
To wait the answer coming soon late;
So often in the past prayed, then turned,
Refusing in my eagerness to wait,
Yet even so, the good God who had heard
Answered every word.
Surely should wait patiently today
Knowing the answered prayer is on it's way.

Fairfax to Be Asked
To Drain Pond
Where Bow Died

The Springfield (va.) Civic
Association last night voted to
ask the county to drain a pond
where a seven-year-old boy
drowned last January.
Members of the association
voted SIS to 35 to request the
Fairfax County Board of Super
visors and the County Park
Authority to drain Brookfield
Pond.
Approximately $50 citizens of
the Springfield area have signed
a petition asking that it be
drained. Some residents opposed
the draining but proposed safety
measures at the pond located in
a 27-acre park site.
Michael G. Hudson drowned
when he went out onto the ice
and fell through while trying to
rescue his dog.
The association also voted
support formation of a volunteer
fire department for the SPRING
field area. The County Fire
Commission has turned down
a request for a new department
in the Springfield area which is
now served by the Franconia
Volunteer fire department.
