Henry Herlyn. geologist with the Phillips Oil Company, was the other passenger. All were from Anchorage, except Sandvik, who is from Palmer.
 The group had gone to Cape Cherikof on an oil prospecting trip, and were returning to Anchorage when engine trouble apparently forced the pilot to try for an emergency landing here.
 Ken Hinchey, President of the Aggregate Company, arrived in Kodiak Wednesday afternoon. He was enroute to Anchorage from Seattle when he learned of the mishap and immediately flew to Kodiak. He conferred with Coast Guard officers and all those who took part in the search. 1T have nothing but high praise for the Coast Guard and Navy personnel who took part in the search. Their alertness and the prompt action taken should have averted this tragedy. Bob Hall of the Kodiak Airways also should be commend ed," HiEchey stated. He returned to Anchorage Friday.

The cards were apparently stacked against five passengers and the pilot of an Aero Comman- ger attempting to make an emer- gency landing here "Wednesday morning after an engine failure.
 Sig Staveland, pilot, and his five passengers, all of Anchorage, pre- sumably crashed at sea approxi- mately g miles from here, and were never seen since. The pilot radioed that one engine had failed, and that he was coming in for a landing.
 This was about 1O:45. Fifteen minutes later he signaled May Day." as both engines were dis abled. He was flying at 1l,OOO feet when he was picked up by GCA on the Naval Station.

An intense search followed. The two Coast Guard UFs were aided in their search by the co vessel BITTER SWEET, two Navy crash boats, and Navy tug. Al Crafty and Gil Jarvela of the Kodiak Airways also flew to the scene, and spent several hours in the search. Des- pite all these efforts, the plane and as passengers were never seen again.
 The search area was in the vicinity of Marmot Island, and the position of the plane E.N.E Ceii- ing was reported as variable, with visibility 300 to 700 feet. Average surface visibility was five miles. Coast Guard pilots makinr the search reported no sign of an oil slick or wreckage anywhere.

CHICAGO - I'he "HrVat-
ska Sloboda" Lodge 80 Ath-
letic Club ended it's 1888
bowling season with a
sweeper. We had a good time
that evening as we teamed up
the fellows with the girls.
Two couples were tied for
first place-Mary Zic and
Clyde Cunningham and Ann
Zorich and Andy Hanacek.
Mary Kunovic and Marian
Bielawski came in second.
There were 16 prizes in all.
l guess the only person
disappointed was Joe Jer-
bich; he so wanted to bowl
with one of the girls and
instead got one of the fel-
lows.
Our next event was the
CFU st. Louis Tournament
and as always our bowlers
had a good time. George Pa
zulinec, Ed Vucinic, JOS. Paw
lax, and Bill Josephus got to
feeling very strong the early
part of one morning and kept
piling beds ON top of each
other in the girls rooms.
Result, a new corporation
was formed: "You pile 'em,
we move 'em." Not only did
they keep us moving but poor
Andy Hanacek found himself
on the floor with his bed and
mattress on top of him.
Midge Gornich was so tired
of moving beds that she de-
cided to sleep on the floor in
the hallway.
Bringing our own musicians
from Chicago certainly added
a lot to the gaiety and fun
in our caucus. rooms and on
the train to st. Louis.
We certainly enjoyed their
playing and the hospitality
shown by Big Friendly Nick
of st. Louis. He certainly is
very congenial and had a
knack Of getting another bot
! tie whenever needed.
COnClnulng with our
pleasuring, we held our
Bowling Banquet on the fol-
lowing weekend, May "a,
1858. 1t was held in the new
dining room at Richards.
The food was good and 1
guess everyone got enough
to eat as we heard only
good things about the food.

When first shown last De-
cember to tourney chairman
Bob Potocnjak and yours
truly, we thought that it
would take quadrupeds not
primates to fill that Grand
Ball Room even to a fair de-
gree.
But came Friday evening
May 10th and the place was
jammed. The management's
judgement standard of the
proverbial five fishes and two
loaves of bread in refresh
ments soon proved made
quate.
The Arena Alleys were
tough for the men as evil
denced that the best scratch
singles a 628 was bowled
by Rudy Stimac of Granite
City, ILL.,, Lodge 222.
Emil Sardoch of East Pitts
burgh, Pa, Lodge 141 was
runnerup with 618; follow
ing whom were George Koss,
Lodge ITO of Gary, Ind, with
GOT; and Fran Micetich Of the
Chicago Krizari each with a
6O7 set. Ivan Lusicich, Lodge
SO st. Louis, was fifth with
a 594 total.
Scattered through the three
events were some good male
series, the best individual ef-
fort being Rudy Stimac,
Granite City, ILL.,, with his 628
rolled in the singles event.
Mataya A-E King
Peter Chulick of st. Louis
Lodge 49 fired a 620 series
in the team event; Frank Ma
taya a Lodge SO st. Louisian
had a GIG in doubles; Emil
Sardoch of East Pittsburgh,
Pa, a 618 set in singles; and
in doubles John Comsia of
Canton, o., Lodge 514 and
Emil Eskra Of Progress Lodge
749 in Chicago each rolled
615.
While Frank Mataya,
stellar bowler of St. Louis
Lodge so, had been an
nounced in the official list
ing as the male all-events
champ, 1903, we like at this
time to give some depth in
this category.
Carmen Magistro of Johns
town, Pa, Lodge 5 was second
with a 1745 total, Frank Kru-
zic of Chicago Lodge 963 was
third best with 1888, Joe Min
kowski of Granite City Lodge
222 was fourth with 1909, and
Frank Shubat, Sr., of Chicago
Progress Lodge rounded out
the quintette with an all
events scratch total of 1902.
We just wonder what Joe
Minkowski's total would have
been had he not as a 189
average bowler dropped off
so much in his last game of
the tournament in the singles
thus 215-222-132. Tourna-
ments are made of such in
stances as we recount here.
Nick Jadrich identified with
the us. Post Office should
not have difficulty being the
advance man for some pro-
noting firm when he becomes
pensioned. He has the per-
sonality and the front too;
how could you have missed
him in the hotel lobby?

in the fun so that it was one
of the best Banquets ever
held.
The trophies and prizes
were given out. Balkan Music
Shop came in first with 581a
games won and the Mariana
team was second with 58 and
tied for second was the Paw
lax Funeral team.
In the Womens division the
Pardus Barberettes took first
place by winning 5712 games
and the Bogetich Florals were
second with So games won.
Russell Kauzlarich had the
highest series for the season
with a 665 and Tom Rubinic
had high game by bowling
|248.
The ABC awards q belt
buckle to the fellow who
makes the most progress
in bowling during the sea-
son. This award was won
by Phil Buyan who in
creased his average by %
points. To 60 along with
this buckle the league
bought him a belt.
Mary Biskupic bowled the
highest game by rolling a 244
and Mary Kunovic had a 558
for high series. Mary Bisku-
pic received the pin given by
the Womens Bowling Associ-
alton.
The league this past year
was very interesting as the
standings varied so much in
the last half Of the season.
We are now looking forward
to another successful bowling
season.
If anyone is interested in
joining our group please
contact Mary Kunovic, our
new Secretary, at 1897
South Christiana, Chicago
81, Ill. We are bowling at
the Marzano's Miami Bowl,
Archer and Crawford,
every Friday at $3.50 pm.
From the comments re-
ceived, we can assume that
the three affairs mentioned
above were enjoyed by all and
I know most of us felt very
sorry for the people who
didn't get to St. Louis or the
ones that didn't attend the
Banquet.
Start saving now so that
we can all 60 to Youngstown

Indiana HarbOrlteS who was
but entered in the team event
latched onto a private plane
after having missed a regular
flight out of Chicago. Anyone
else would have despaired and
returned home.
Ironically two farthest
East teams, the Johnstown
men and the East Pitts
burgh women, came thru
topmost in their divisions.
Joe Babich of Gary, Ind,
closest of many in this re-
spect, missed a triplicate by
two pins, 167-167-169, in
the team event. Josephine Jo-
vanovic of st. Louis had the
same thing happen to her in
doubles, 145-145-143, while
Angeline Jovanovic a sister,
in-laW, missed hers in doub-
les thus, 135-132-135.
Krizari Consistent
Speaking of grav itation
around one point, the Krizari
Lodge 70 mems handicap
champs in their team event
seemed to hold to a common
mark, Charles Kruzic rolled
a 183 game; Charles Polich,
181; John Golich, 1874; Frank
Zakaria, 181-181; and Emil
Prodan, 1879.
The three best mems
scratch team totals were
Johnstown, Pa, Lodge s.
2705; Youngstown, o., Lodge
66-2695 and the Kansas
City, Kan, Lodge 734 mite
Inn" entry with 2673. A far
cry from last years top 1891
by the Cleveland Lodge 663
Pioneers No. 2 team.
A millennium score for one
game therefore was out of
question and we find that
the best male team scores
went as follows: Jakovac
Golden Eagles, Lodge so,
st. Louis, 945; st. George
Lodge &c Aces of Youngs-
town, O., 944; and St.
Rochus Lodge 5, Johns
town, with 938 pins.
1t was coincidental, we
thought, that the Lodge 22e
men of Lyons, ILL.,, and the
Sloboda Diggers, Lodge 80 of
Chicago, and practically city
cousins each had to roll 1858
and having enjoyed the same
team handicap, 402, eventu-
ally both came thru with an
equal team booty.
Vets of Dux Wars
Vic Kariolic and Emil Es-
kra of Chicago Progress
Lodge 749 emerged the best
scratch doubles team with a
1853 score. Following them
were John Bellcoff-Joe Min
kowski of Granite City, ILL.,,
Lodge 222 with 1148, and tied
for third place were John Ba-
ran and Frank Mataya of St.
Louis Lodge so and Carmen
Magistro and Joseph Fishter
of JohnstoWn, Pa, Lodge 5,
each with a 1926 pinfall.
Joe Fishter back ir 1913
won the mems singles tro-
ply at a CFU Dux Tour
ney with a $50 plus score.
Like his team mate George
Hajko, who also was a former
duckpinner, both men were
part of this years St. Louis
