ST. Louis GIee Club
In Trip Around Year

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The
"Vila" Singers have not been
idle, just because this repor-
ter has not been writing more
often.
A picnic was held at Blan'
chette Park in st. Charles fol
"Vila" singers and their fam
lilies, and most of us are still
recuperating from the marve
lous time that was had.
This sweltering humid wea-
ther in st. Louis has certainly
taken nothing away from the
enthusiasm of our singers in
rehearsals for the repeat per-
formance Of Around the
Year in 80 Minutes"
The program was given
earlier in the year and the
demand for a repeat has
been SO great that we are
forced to give it again on
October 26, 1858, at st. Jo-
seph's Croatian Hall, 10Th
and Russell Blvd.
Another factor of which we
are quite proud is that the
Croatians hereabouts have
come to realize that when we
say $50 curtain time, that's
it! We have seen quite a few
disappointments from those
who have arrived at ZOO or
later and missed great por-
tions Of the program.
Drinks and eats will be in
order and music will be fur
nished by the Continentals.
Forthcoming in f o rmation
will be sent as time grows
nearer, but for now please
circle October 26 for us.

CHICAGO - I am happy
to report that the July and

said this was the best August
meeting as far back as he can
remember.

Victor and Theresa Micetic,
were initiated. Welcome, and
here's hoping you'll come ev-
|ery month.
It was a pleasure to meet
Ray Lisicich who recently
transferred from another
lodge, and it was also nice
to see our former President,
Frank Eskra, who is a busy

and just can't attend every

Bill and Angie Randich.
He is one of the winners
in the preliminary round of
the Cook County Accordion

of the Annual Chicagoland

So, in Progress" we have
top notch bowlers, winning

atomic scientist and now q
rising young musician.
Add to this a successful

what tragedy-a bird with in
stincts for the unmeasured ocean
needing to content itself within
the narrow limits of a tub But
are we any better?
A noted writer turns our trend
of thought to a slightly different
direction by telling of stopped
and aged woman who was seen in
the gray of winter dawn groping
about a building under construc-
ton, picking up bits of lath and
sawed-off ends of lumber 1t was
pathetic, he says, to see this aged
woman reduced to the offscourings
of the wood to warm her house
hold. But it is even. more pathetic
to see the finest relationships of
human life-our friends, our fam
lilies, and at last our church and
our God-seeking around the main
business of our days for the scraps
and leftovers of our attention and
our time. We give the logwood of
our lives to secondary matters; to
the highest we give the chips We
major in minors.
Tt was such a standard of values
that Christ condemned in His CEN
sure of the Pharisees. He noted
how meticulous they were in an
outward conformity to the laws of
Moses-.-and sundry addenda of
their own-but failed to touch the
heart of religion by righteous con-
duct and warmhearted fellowship
with God. Therefore Christ said to
them: "Ye tithe mint and rue and
every herb and pass over justice
and the law of God" In other
words they majored in minors.
The challenge of it all is that we
discipline our souls not to be con-
tent with petty aims and purposes;
that we aim high, setting our faces
steadfastly towards the SUBMITS
even though the SUBMITS may never
be reached. Perhaps we have fall
ed thus far; let us begin anew
mot failure but low aim is crime"
Above all let us cultivate that dis
content with the past that made the
poet write:
I'm tired of sailing my little boat
Far inside the harbor bar;
] want to be out where the big
ships float,
Out on the deep where the
great ones are.
And should my frail craft prove
too slight
For storms that sweep those
wide seas DER,
Better go down in the stirring
fight
Than to browse to death by the
sheltered shore.
