Cleveland "zumberaks" Send Out sos

Cleveland, Ohio - Annual
Lodge $50 meetings once were
attended by a sizeable num-
Der Of members. 1t was GUS
tomary to sec all seats filled

Lately interest has been on
the wane, contrary to what
should be expected when the
fact that the cost Of invest
ment in life insurance has
bee accumulating during the
years and growing larger.

To get down to actual fig

servative average figure of

or a period of 19 years -
which is the length of time

operated = the total cost Of

prising and respectable a.
mount = $4,000.
Surely this fact alone ought
to be sufficient to attract
members to a yearly meet
ing, if only to learn what the
lodge financial status is and
to lend a hand, if needed, in
the operation Of the organi-
zation.

perb job and deserve the
highest praise. So enthusias.
tic were they over the sue.
cess of the party that when
it was over they began to
talk and make plans for next
year and how to make next
years party even better.
The chairman had asked
the children if they enjoyed
the party and would they like
to come back next year. Their
affirmative response almost
tore the walls down.
So it seems that from the
viewpoint of our youngsters
and the committee, the ques-
ton is not shall we have a.
mother Christmas party but
can we make it bigger and
better.
From the number of
grownups present it might
be we'll to hold one for
them too, since they seem
ed to enjoy it as much as
the youngsters.
AS chairman it was my
pleasant duty to work with
an unexcelled committee, the
ladies of which worked hard
and cooperated beautifully
as a team. It was they who
made the party such a tre-
mendous success and a men,
orable occasion. I hope the
New Year rewards them with
an abundance of good things,
and may their fraternal spi-
rit continue to flame brightly.

duced.
Bro. Sarich, who is not on
ly a dear friend but also a
great booster of South Chi
cago, ever ready to give of
his time, and one of the most
sincere and earnest fraternal-
lists we know, brought with
him a group of children from
the Home.
They were kind enough to
present a Kolo dance that
pleased the audience i'm
mensely, especially our older
members who have very deep
and sentimental feelings for
the Home. and the children
in it.
Ladies Did Grand Job
Francis Loncar in closing
thanked everyone for coming
and extended to all greetings
of the season on behalf of
himself and the United Lod-
ges.
i, He told the youngsters
there would be lots of door
prizes distributed after re-
freshments, including two
beautiful flocked Christmas
trees that were on the stage.
He called upon Santa (Peter
Brncich, Lodge 118) to take
over and lead the children in
to the downstairs hall for re-
freshments.
The ladies of the commit
tee had prepared hot dogs,
soda, nuts, home made
cookies, figs, and locust for
the juniors and the kids
went to it as though it
were ambrosia and nectar.
For the older guests the la
dies had each made one or
more cakes or strudels and
prepared coffee.
That the home made pas
tries were delicious is a gross
understatement. They were
polished off to the last crumb
in almost less time than it |
takes to tell about it.
The games and toys given
as door prizes were received
with so much enthusiasm that
it was difficult to make draw
ings, so pressing was the mob
of youngsters surrounding
the NC as he called out the
names drawn.
Oldsters Enjoyed Fete
It was after ten before the
last youngster left and the
committee by then was some
what the worse for wear, but
all wore smiles of pleasure
and reflected the joy and
happiness the yo u n g S e r s
showed at the party.

The pride of sibenik,

with beautiful stone walls,
is the Cathedral of st. ia
cob, a masterpiece of the
early Renaissance era. The
building of this edifice is
said to have started in
1431.
The lofty dome of large
stone slabs on this Cathedral
is seen only on Syrian chur-
ches. Especially interesting
are it's human heads in stone
around the outer edge of the
apse, which are said to por-
tray men and women Of all

Zlarin Faces Sibenik
Looming of great impor-
tance to the industrial future
of Yugoslavia, the port of
sibenik is faced by the Island
of Zlarin and opposite to it's
entrance lies the little seaside
resort of the same name.
The lovely old national Co.'S

While the writer did not

it was pointed out that the

Almost Wiped Off Map
On the outskirts of the
city, the Group noticed nu-
merous signs pointing to
what amounts to the virtual
rebuilding of Zadar.
This is understandable
when one is acquainted
with the unpleasant fact
that Zadar was almost
wiped off the map during
World War II. Air raids
and bitter ground fighting
tore the city apart and
peace found the communi-
ty smashed from stem to
stern.
Today, some eleven years
after the last war, Zadar is a
new city with an old histori-

The Church Of st. Donat
The historical monuments
of Zadar are many, varied and
interesting.
Of particular interest here
is the former Church of st.
Donat, now the city's Arch
geological Museum.
Standing on the site of
the former Roman Forum,
this edifice is one of the
oldest medieval buildings in
Dalmatia and in a remark
able state of preservation.
Built at the dawn of the
9th Century by Bishop Donat,
this one-time church unites
the Byzantine conception Of
space with the Roman style
of building. It rests on a cir
cular foundation with three
apses and an "annular corri-
dor" which includes the CEN
tral space of the building. 1t
was once domed.
Equally as interesting here
is the Cathedral of Zadar,
erected in the 18th Century.
Engrossing, too, is the an
cient Church of st. Simeon
with it's wrought-silver cof-
fin containing relics Of this
Saint, the Patron Saint Of
Zadar.
New City With Old Look
Zadar was originally built
on an islet divided from the
mainland by a moat.
In addition to it's Archae-
illogical Museum, the city is
the home of many important
historical State Archives, a
Scientific Library, an Art
Gallery, and other scientific
and cultural institutions.
Other churches in the
community are st. Mary's,
St. Krsevan and st. Fran
els, each no less historic
than the churches of St.
Donat, the Cathedral of
Zadar, and St. Simeon.
The Loggia, the Watch
Tower, the City Gates, the
remains of the old Roman
Forum, the old city walls and
Notifications, etc., give the
city an ancient look"
An Interesting Stopover
Boosting of many tourist
attractions, among them SUI

sailing among the 300 tiny
islands of Kornati, Zadar
tempers the gay with the
serious business of getting a.

Several industries h er e
have become highly develop
ed since World War II.
Among these are firms
handling ''liquers" (the
world famed Maraskino is
a product of Zadar), can
ming sardines, curing to-
bacco, processing ropes,
and SO forth.
The hotels here are better
than average, for Europe,
and the bathing beaches most
certainly compare with the
finest on the Continent.
And it's transportation faci-
lities are good: - It is con-
nected by steamer to Rijeka
and Split, and by bus to Split
and Knin, Gracac and Cos

Norstad Says
 NATO Stronger Than Ever Now

WASHINGTON, R-General Lauris Norstad said today the military forces of the North At lantic Treaty Organization now have the capability of destroying whatever targets we must knock out"
 The NATO commander told the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee the forces are three to four times stronger and many times more effective" than when they were set up by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower six years ago.
 Norstad appeared before a closed session, but parts of his testimony were made public. He voiced full support of President Eisenhower's S3,865, 100000 for eign aid program.

Nikita Khrushchev, adept poli- tician, television personality and conversationalist, may have an- other fascinating side to his per sCnality.
 There is reason to suspect the Communist boss has been dipping into science fiction thriIlers made in the U.S.A.
 The press in Warsaw quoted Khrushchev May 30 as saying the Soviet Union has a nuclear weap- on so formidable it does not dare to test it.
 We couldn't even test in in the arctic" Khrushchev was quoted If we set it off at the North Pole, it would melt the icecap and send the oceans spilling over the world"
 Scientists have estimated that thawing of the polar icecap would raise ocean levels more than TO feet, putting London, New York, Washington, Philadelphia a n d many other cities under water. It is highly questionable, however, whether nuclear bombardment could melt much of the icecap.
 But the idea is not a new one. Indeed, it showed up in science fiction in the United States five years ago, in a novel by Gerald Kersh, himself of Russian descent.
 The novel appeared serially in 1852 in the Saturday Evening Post as "The Mystery of the Third Compartment" Later it was pub lished in England as "The Great Wash" and then by Ballantine books in the US. as The Secret Masters
 The plot concerns a group Of villainous international multi millionaires and mad scientists who have developed a ''megatopic silicon bomb7 capable of making its possessor master of the world. They realize that atomic bonn bardment couldn't melt the polar icecap Their plan is to bomb

Interior Dept. Proposal Would Open Alaskan Water to Oil Development

WASHINGTON, tR-Represen- tative O'Brien D-NY) said today he hopes to have his House terri tories subcommittee take up next week a Interior Department pro- posal to open Alaska's navigable water to possible oil development.
 The bill, actually substitute for somewhat broader proposal by Delegate Bartlett, would auth orize the Interior Secretary to lease for oil and gas development all lands beneath Alaska's inland waters as well as those along the coast above the low tide mark
 Both proposals provide that the government turn over to Alaska twice a year an amount equal to 90 percent of lease revenues.
 Of this the department would require the territory to use 3712 percent for road construction and maintenance or public school sup port. The rest could be used in any way desirable by the Alaska Legislature.

COP Leaders Hear Only Hope for Cut in Government Spending Depends On World Disarmament Agreement

} WASHINGTON R-Republioan Party leaders heard today the only real hope for a substantial cut in government spending rests in some kind of world disarma- ment agreement.
 Robert E. Merriam, assistant budget director, told the Repub- lican National Conference that unless there can be some limita- tions on ornaments he looks for a budget next year no lower than President Eisenhower $71.8 bill lion spending program for the year beginning July I.
 In a question and answer ses- sion, Merriam was asked by L. M. Berry, Florida COP Finance Com mittee chairman, whether there is any hope for future cuts in spending.
 Merriam replied that it was possible to make some reductions if some of the programs the fed enal government now is financing could be turned over to the states.
 'But the largest possibility of any substantial reduction has to rest on disarmament" Merriam said. ''Unless we get some kind of disarmament agreement, expen- ditures must remain at a high level.
 In opening session at which he had invited Republican leaders from all sections of the nation to ''let your hair down" in criticism of party policies, national chair man Meade Alcorn said he hoped the Republicans would talk frankly in a friendly attitude"
 We are not going to end any thing here except the carping criticism of the Republican Par ty," Alcorn said to the applause of the more than 300 delegates.
 President Eisenhower address es a closing session of the two-day conference later in the day
 Charles Thomas, former secre- tary of the Navy, told the confer ence he accepted the job as na- tional finance chairman at Presi- dent Eisenhower's personal re- quest.
 Thomas said one of the reasons he agreed to take over the fund raisingj job was because he was mad" at the people he said "are living in luxury and complaining about this administration.

The Yule Log tradition is max
ing a comeback as more and more
of today's modern homes are de-
signed with open fireplaces as well
as central heating and gas stoves.
For those who have place to
burn Yule log and want one, ira
dition says that it should be oak,
ash, olive. apple or pine. Whatever
type you choose or may be able
to acquire. get plenty Of wood.
Ash is highly desirable since it
can be used without being sea-
soned. 1t burns quickly, and throws
off plenty Of heat. Poplar, on the
other hand, will spark badly if I'M
seasoned.
Elm is less desirable since it is
slow to get started. However, it
lasts a long time and brightens
up when it gets going. A few logs
Of birch, pine or fir will help it
along.
Beech and oak are among the
best logs. Beech has a pleasant
aroma and gives off a steady glow.
Oak has the outstanding merit Of
burning slowly.
If none of these are available.
select wood from some kind Of
fruit tree. Such wood gives off a
pleasant smell when burning.
