The Weather

July BEING a month given to CFU
- Lodge and Nest outings, the Western
Pennsylvania United Lodges Annual Fra
ternal Day, and host of other major gath
erings, it is only meet and just that we take
look at the weather for the period.
If we are to take the word of 1.-The Old
Farmers Almanac for 1853" now in it's
166th continuous year of publication, then
July should be a corker weather-wise.
Uncanny in its predictions - and more
often right than wrong in the long run -
the Almanac forecasts for July 7-15 hot
and sultry; July 1921 rainy and cooler;
July 21-25 severe local storms; and July
1851 storms from the East
Which would make the next three Sum
day picnic dates run like this: - July 13,
hot, ideal for vruce janjetine mrzle pive;
July TO- rainy (and we're due in Michigan
that day at the Greater Detroit Central
Educational Committees Annual CFU Day
fete); July 27, storms from the East, ideal
for those versed in bellicosus
So says the Farmers Almanac.
But as any self-respecting weatherman
will tell you, we shall see what we shall see
Yes sir, we sure will.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The
United CFU Lodges of Cleve-
land are again making plans
for a gala Fraternal Day
which will be held on Sunday,
August 81, at Puritas Spring
Park.
1t is probably we'll known
to most of our members here
that all proceeds from this
affair will be added to an al
ready existing fund that will
be used to purchase our own
picnic site. The success Of this
years Fraternal Day may
well mean that this dream
will soon be realized.
Once again, as in the
past several years, we will
stage a Queen Contest and
we appeal to all our Lodges
to select a candidate who

would like to have the
names of the candidates as
soon as possible.
A very interesting and en-

planned for Aug. 81 and will
be climaxed by the coronation
of the new Queen.
The United Lodges Com
mittee meets the fourth Fri
day of each month at the
Croatian Home, 6314 st.
Clair Ave., and if we are to
have a successful year we
must have all representatives
from all lodges present at
these meetings. 1t is going to
take a great deal of coopera-

realize our ambition.

Greater Detroit CF'U Lodges
give notice to all Lodges Of
Detroit and vicinity Of our
Annual Picnic, which will be
staged Sunday, July 20, at
beautiful Pennsylvania Park,
Dequindre and 10 Mile Rd.
just as last year, the
proceeds from the outing
will be used by the respec-
tive Lodges to help meet
their financial obligations.
An even more important
reason for our annual picnic
is to give our people the op-
portunity to meet together in
a friendly and fraternal at
mosphere.
We are happy to announce
that the CFU Executive
Board has approved our re-
quest to have bro. Stephen F.
Brkich, English Editor of the
Zajednicar, as our guest
speaker.
Bro. Brkich has earned
widespread admiration since
1948 through his efforts
in the Zajednicar, especially
here among us in Detroit.
We urge all lodges to So
licit the cooperation of their
members for this occasion
as they have in the past.
Let's work together!
Our Picnics in the past
have been very successful but
there is always room for inn
provement.

makes the admission of Alaska a remark
able event. But even more remarkable is
the fact that Alaska will be the only State
not contiguous to the continental United
States. Indeed, it is, for the most part,
many hundreds of miles away. At one
point, the Alaskan mainland lies only some
SO miles from the mainland of Asia; one
Alaskan island is separated from Soviet
territory by merely couple of miles of
water. :. . Now that Alaska has come to
statehood, can Hawaii be far behind? Let's
hope not!

going down "aye'' and Mr. Martin nay
when the roll was called late Monday, June
80, 1858
But this is not where we came in to
take up the cause Of Statehood for Alaska
on the editorial page of the English Section
of the Zajednicar. We were on the re-
portorial scene long before that to score
a scoop on Croatian and other newspapers
of our people in America and Canada
The scoop: President Eisenhowers
appointment in May of 1857 of Michael A.
Stepovich as the Governor of Alaska and
our editorial revelation that the new Chief
Executive was of proud Croatian- Serbian
extraction.
This we did in the June 5, 1857. issue
of the English Section, less than two weeks
after Mr.. Eisenhower's appointment of MIR.
Stepovich won congressional approval and
on the eve of his inaugural June 8, 1857,
at Juneau as the new Governor Of the Ter
1itory of Alaska.
Since that time we have in numerous
editorial and other ways kept an eye' on
Gov. Stepovich for many reasons, among
them being the happy fact that his beautiful
wife the former Matilda Baricevic of
Portland, Oregon - has been a lifelong
member of our Society.
Ergo the best reason in the world for
the Croatian Fraternal Unions interest in
Alaska via it's Official Organ.

Q Now, we dare say that Alaska is as
highly promising in natural resources to
the United States as it is to the Croatian
Fraternal Union in another resource-new
members.
Organized by the late sister Mary Vuk-
mir back in 1856, the Societys only Alas
kan outlets are Anchorage Lodge 991 and
Junior Order Nest 645. At the helm of the
one as Secretary and the other as Manager
stands bro. Louis Vukmir, prominent An
chorage businessman who took over the
posts following the untimely passing OF
his very CF'U-minded wife.
However, neither unit is bulging at the
seams with members, although we know
for fact that Alaska is the home of quite
a number Of our people and that many of
them are Of proud pioneer stock.
In other words Alaska requires special
attention on the part of the Home Office
of the Croatian Fraternal Union if the So
ciety would progress in what will soon
officially become the 10th State of the
United States of America.
But merely writing about our potential
there won't turn the trick
What will - or can - do it?
We propose to come up with an answer
to this question in the near future.

Your Shotgun Can Still Talk
To the Phensants at OnOndag0

Come January Is, marking the
end of the migratory fowl shoot
ing season, hunters reluctantly
put aside their gear, grease their
guns and retreat into daydream-
ing of the thrilling duck or goose

the one coming up but long,

For the gunner who thinks his
favorite past-time is at an end we
have these cheering words-it

Not more than IS minutes
from downtown Washington, in

still shoot pheasants and have
the time of your life tramping
over gently rolling land behind
a well trained dog all at moder-
ate cost.
The place is called Onondaga,
the Sportsman's Country Club.
It's 256-acre farm just a few
miles east of Rockville devoted
to the pleasure of the duck or
pheasant hunter. The whole farm
has been more or less scientifical-
ly planted and designed to give
ideal cover and food for pleas
ants plus making the shooting a
test for the niInrod and his eye.
