Huntsburg Men Make
1st Gallon of '5S Syrup

The first official gallon of 1858
Geauga County Maple Syrup,
produced by three unemployed
ex-GLS, is on it's way today to
President Eisenhower accord

HuntSburg, and was produced
by Barnes, Thomas Kline and
Willie Weston.
The second gallon collected
and boiled, reported by Ken
II t h Sperry, Mulberry Rd.,

ais were notified of the Sperry
gallon late Tuesday morning.
Both gallons were presented
to Maple Festival Board Presi-
dent Ture Johnson in his office
in Burton Wednesday afternoon.
Deia said the HuntSburg group
got a head start on most other
producers because they tapped
their trees Friday. He reported
most of Geauga'S other syrup
makers waited until Sunday to
tap.
The Barnes, Kline and Weston
team put out between 14O0 and
1900 buckets. Their sap was
hauled in for boiling by a team
of oxen.
This years syrup will be on
sale, by the festival board, Sun

Few Know
of fHanbden
Town Park

HAMBDEN - Because of the
foreSightedneSs of three public
spirited men 1877 years ago,
Hambden has a town park to-
day, although many residents Of
this community may not be a
ware of it.
The park, situated on the four
corners at the intersection of
Rt. 6 and Rt. 608, has been re-
membered and forgotten many
times during the years.
In 1888 the park, almost COM
pletely forgotten, was cleaned
up by Township Trustees L. j.
RoSol, E. M. Stone and James
King, but no further official ac-
ton was taken at the time. A
decade later the Hambden
Mems Club, under the leader
ship of Gail Adams, constructed
a memorial and a flagpole in
the southeast section of the
park.
This memorial, the only visi-
BILE sign that the area is a park
and not Just the yards of ad-
joining residents, reads: "In
memory and honor of all who
by their efforts and sacrifices
created and preserved this ma
tion. Erected by the citizens of
Hambden.
The land donated is on all four
corners of the intersection, and
maps of it may be seen in the
courthouse in Chardon. 1t was
decided, on Oct. 8, 1921, to the
township by Hosea King, 81
rods, John r. Risdale, 81 rods,
and Obed Hale, 146 rods.
One account, appearing in the
Geauga Record about 20 years
ago, states, 1.-The "a acres given
for a park has been encroached
upon until it is practically OBJ
scured, although the land do
mated is still there. it takes
off piece of land from the
yards in front of two houses"
Serving as trustees in 1921,
when the land was given, were
Merrick Pease, Warham Par
sons and John Bartholomew.
They recorded the three deeds,
which are in Volume 8, begin
ming at Page 178, Geauga Coun-
ty Records of Deeds, and are
preserved in the county record
er'S office.
Hambden had eight or nine
families in 1902 and 1903, and
was known as ''Bondstown" un-
til about 1920.
MANY friends who live far
and near" one account stated
Twill feel that Hambden should
now develop the land given for a
public park well over a century
ago, and make it a public occa-
sion that thousands of outside
friends would be sure to attend
''The unusual circumstances
call for a real homecoming ir
Hambden, if the park becomes
a reality"

With Best Wishes

WYE WISH THE members of the newly
" constituted Executive, Supreme and
High Trial Boards of the Croatian Catholic
Gary Indiana, smooth fraternal sailing in
the future.
Elected, or reelected during the CCU's
18th Convention, held Sept. 1920, 1858, at
Omaha, Nebraska, the leaders of this sis
ter organization of the Croatian Fraternal
Union - for the most part known to us
- are qualified for the posts they hold and
should give good accounts of themselves
during the next four years.
Because we have known him longer
than any other official Of the organization,
we would single out the new Supreme Sec-
retary of the Croatian Catholic Union for
an extra measure of best wishes during his
tenure in office
He is Steve M. Cvetetic former Pitts
burgher, who first went on to become the
Supreme Treasurer of the Croatian Catho-
lie Union and in September of this year saw
himself elected the Supreme Secretary of
the organization to further embellish an
already brilliant fraternal career.
For years a member Of the Croatian
Fraternal Union and at present affiliated
with Gary Lodge 727, bro. Cvetetic is still
quite young in years and commands wide
following in the ranks of the Croatian Ca
tholic Union.
In Short he's go-getter.
May the road ahead of him and his fel-
low ecu leaders be paved with success and
devoid of the factionalism which has
harmed many fraternal in the past

Gary ACES.

WYE Would CALL the attention of our
" members to an article on page of
this issue dealing with the new American
Croatian Cultural Society of Gary, Indiana.
The aims of this organization, as out
lined by ACES. Secretary sister Sylvia
Niksic, are such that we cannot see how our
people in Gary could possibly refuse to sup
port so important an undertaking on their
civic level.
The ACES. drive of the moment to
bring to life Junior Tamburitza Orchestra
is most certainly deserving Of support on
the part of every Croat in Gary
If publicity will help turn the trick, we
are prepared to do our part.

Frontier Tourney

COME TIME HAS passed since we first
y came up with the idea of an annual Nj
agara Frontier Bowling Tournament and
passed it along for the consideration of the
Societys sports minded members in West
ern New York and Southern Ontario.
There was to be no grass roots reaction
to the suggestion. No one along the From
tier - from Lackawanna to Buffalo, New
York, and from there across the border to
Welland and Hamilton, Ontario - thought
enough of the idea to comment on it.
However, we still think that sports
gathering Of this nature is in order and just
what the doctor would prescribe to renew
interest in the CFU in the centers we men
toned.
True, our fellow members across the
border do have their own Annual Natl Five
Pin Tournament and may feel that their
cup runneth over in this respect
Their kegling counterparts to the south,
in Lackawanna and Buffalo, may also feel
that their attendance at the Society's An
Iludl ANdI lCIlplll IOuILCy Is W
make any pin season complete one.
Still, who is there to say that mid-sea-
son Niagara Frontier Tourney cannot exist
if no one at least makes an attempt to sound
out others on the advisability of giving the
idea try?
A good question. And one certainly
worth an answer from some member in Ell
their Western New York or Southern On
tario.
Perhaps we may be told that such a
suggestion is purely pipe dream.
But until we are so advised - by mail
or otherwise we will continue to preach
that a Niagara Frontier Tourney is well
worth anyone's spare thinking time.

Sick Benefits
Clearly Defined
Members Should
Check Status Quo
BY John Ovcarich
Sick Benefit Sec'y.

PITTSBURGH - Recent
weeks have found the Soci-
ety's Sick Benefit Dept re-
ceiving a lot of mail from
members who have already
reached or are nearing the
age of 65 years.
Insured, of course, for
Sick Benefits, these men,
bers seem uncertain regard
ing their standing when
they attain or surpass the
age of 65 years.
Some feel that once they
reach IS they are no longer
entitled to Sick Benefits: still
others that they are entitled
to only 500 of the present
Sick Benefits when they reach
this stage in life.
In both cases, the opinions
Of these particular members
are incorrect.
Here Are The Facts
Here are the facts which
should guide all concerned in
such cases.
u All who joined the Soci-
ETY. on or before Dec. 81, 1947,
and were insured for Sick
Benefits from the date of
their acceptance, are entitled
to Sick Benefits AFTER they
reach the age of IS years.
y All those who became af-
filiated with the Croatian
Fratenal Union on or after
Jan. 1, 1948, and signed for
such additional protection,
ARE NOT eligible to receive
Sick Benefits after attaining
age IS. Nor are they required
to pay dues for same after
reaching the age in question.
The latter case is very
clearly stated in Section 266
of the Bylaws of the Croa-
tan Fraternal Union.
Correspondence Welcome
We are glad to bring these
explanations before our Lodge
Secretaries in particular and

members in general.

the explanations are clear
and to the point.
However, we will gladly

you may have regarding the
matter and cooperate in clari-
flying anything the reader
