fected ice has caused the death
of one and the illness of several
persons near Still Pond, the dis
trict near Turner's Creek. Mrs.
Beulah Anthony is dead. Her
little son and her sister are very

which drains from a cannery
near Still Pond.

Smyrna Town Council Monday
evening it was unanimously de-
cided to put a ban on loafing on
street corners and to break up
vile, indecent and profane lam
guage on the streets.
Reports coming in from all
the rural districts indicate that
this will be a great cunning and
hunting year in Delaware. Rab-
bits and quail are more plenti-
full than for a long time.
Thomas Buckmaster, one of
Smyrna's Oldest citizens, died
at his home on Delaware Street
Sunday evening after a linger-
ing illness at age 81. He had

al years. He was a carpenter by
trade and spent nearly all his
life in this vicinity.

It is this: Should the physi-

Each of these two ques-

however, a decision to discon-

No Common Ground
One of the difficulties that
the officers of the Croatian
Fraternal Union appear to en-.
counter in representing the
organization, it seems to me,
is an ease of access on q
large scale into other than
Slavic groups and activities.
There appears to be no
common meeting ground for
the two except that provided

ence of each other.

They Had Grand Time
Since Etna Nest 21 had a
most successful season Of
junior kegling some so young
sters were entitled to some
$500 total rebate.
The lodge and nest leader
ship decided to call these
young bowlers to a reorgan-
national meeting at which the
last seasons junior officers
gave their reports and then a
new panel Of officers was
elected for the coming season.
Following this meeting Con
a beautiful Sunday afternoon)
the youngsters were treated
to a delicious banquet to
which parents and friends
were invited.
After the copious repast
the juniors introduced their
new officers to us all. As a
fitting finale each junior
was called up to receive his
CFU bowling rebate which
had been placed in separate
envelopes.
We have no doubts as to
the long term value of this
and similar affairs for the
future well being Of the So
ciety. This is a year-round
training school in fraternal-
ism and fidelity to organiza-
ton. 1t cannot help but instil
a deep seated love for the
Union which makes all this
possible.
In a word, it is not enough
to preach fraternalism. Only
practice and application will
nurture it and assure the So
ciety Of virility and continu-
ity.

PITTSBURGH In the
first article of this series, an
attempt was made to estab-
lish the objective of the Gro
atian Fraternal Union as be-
ing financial integrity and a
continuous expansion of the
membership rolls over the
years.
This overall objective re-
mains constant. Only the
methods or means that are
followed in order to realize
this objective change in re-
sponse to varying circum-
stances.
A new means was then sug.
gested: - The establishment
of a four-year Liberal Arts
College under the auspices of
the Croatian Fraternal Union
of America.
The most important and
fundamental question prop
erly flowing from this pro-
posal asks what benefits
the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on and its many members
can expect to realize as a
result of the adoption of
this new means?
Following this is another
question that is born of tenn.
porary circumstances and not
attributable to any basic pro
blems confronting the organ

Since all the lodge secre-

checks, we urge you to dis
tribute said dividends as
soon as possible and credit
each member with their
proper share of the 1858

Failure to do 80 will mean
that our books will carry a

checks, which makes it very
