supper.
On the next day, Sunday,
June s, the annual pageant
of several hundred boats took
place in the early afternoon
with the newly chosen king
and queen reigning. The Rev.
Herbert J. Mullin blessed the
fishing craft.
Still Going Strong
Mr.. Sekul, who is nearing
his 18th year, engaged III
farming and fishing on the
island of Brac when a youth.
He was we'll adapted to the
use Of the universal fishing
net before sailing across the
Atlantic for the New World.
In 1902 he was a member
of the crew Of the lola D.
utilizing long seines to catch
shrimp along the Gulf Coast
Of Mississippi and Louisiana
He also caught oysters in
season.
For more than half a
century the waters south
and southwest of Biloxi
have been Steve NJ. Sekul's
work yard"
AS years passed Fisherman
Sekul advanced himself and
became captain of the lola
D. and later the "Beulah D"
and ultimately he skippered
the III. E. Gumbel," all grace
full sailing schooners that
have since passed from the
Biloxi fishing picture.
In the 1905 this years
Shrimp King assembled a
group Of relatives, and out of
that conference was born the
Sea Coast Packing Company
on Biloxi's East Beach.
King Rules His Realm
The business is pretty
much a family affair yet, with
a brother, Peter Sekul, serv-
ing as foreman for general
operations and unloading of
seafood cargos. A grandson,
Nick Cerenich, is plant super
visor. The overall supervisor
is King Steve himself.

And again more praise for
such an undertaking; more
enthusiasm than ever for the
Croatian Fraternal Union;
more desire than ever to go
home and put our new "CFU
Education" to work in our
own Lodges and Nests.
1t was a wonderful day, one
which I will long remember
with pleasure.
CFU Has The Finest
AS bros. Bella and Krasich
reminded us time and again
on June 7, the Croatian Fra
ternal Union has first class
goods to sell.
Since this is a fact, then
it is our duty to sell a first
class organization - the Gro
attain Fraternal Union of
America.
In my opinion, we need
more such Training Schools
throughout the United States
and Canada. They represent
the type of public forum
which we need to make the
word "Croatian" respected
and our Society something
truly worthy of joining.
We all know that there are
many thousands of people eli
gible to affiliate with the
Croatian Fraternal Union. We
all know that no matter where
we go, near or far, we can
always find a Croat or other
Slav eligible to join our ranks.
Why not, then, talk to
these people? Didn't the
June 7 Training School
equip us with all the am
munition we need to sell
the Croatian Fraternal
Union? -..
Didn't all of us agree June
Z that our CFU's best sellers
are it's satisfied members?
So, let's get on with the
work we started Saturday

Center when we were privi.

Delightful Luncheon
What amazed me was the
expert coverage on the parts
of bro. Bella and Krasich of
the Society's insurance port
folio.
Equally amazing was their
ability to answer every ques-
ton directed at them and do
so clearly and to the point.
This portion of the School in
itself enriched all of us and
made of us better CF'U pro-
moters.
At 1 p.m., we recessed
for luncheon and were
served q delicious repast
picnic-style, out in the open,
under a clear blue sky. To
the good ladies who pre-
pared the meal, many, ma
ny, thanks.
Thanks also to the Home
Office of the Society, which
|picked up the tab" for this
School luncheon.
Pleased? Indeed we were,
all of us. Nothing but smiling
faces at every table; nothing
but praise for the CFU; moth
ing but praise for the Train
ing School.
Instructors Praised
Back to the classrooms we
went at 2 p.m., this time to
participate in discussions COW
ering the Sick Benefit Dept,
the Scholarship Fund, Sports
and Education, and other
matters of Importance to the
general welfare of all CFU
members.
Again came questions as
bros. Bella and Krasich
drove hard to make them
selves clearly understood.
And again followed to-the-
point answers.
| Never once did the instruc-
tors leave any discussion
hanging in mid-air.
| Finally, at 5 p.m., the in
structors called it a day and
the Delegates scattered all
over the grounds, of the Gro

But just before leaving Indi-
ana, the rain stopped and the
sun broke through the clouds
to the west.
The air was so sparkling
clear that the entire city
of Gary could be seen from
the elevated highway for
quite a distance.
of course, here my

to our second largest lodge
by number of membership,
our good fraternalists, the
present officers, former Off

Mestrovic Masterpiece
At Chicago, I decided to
take the Lake Shore Drive,
and did not regret it.
Although the automobile
traffic was somewhat heav-
lier than in the outskirts of
the city, my wife and I for the
first time had the opportunity
to see the Chicago skyline as
though bathed in the waters
of Lake Michigan. and illu-
minated by a myriad of lights.
The view was so utterly
enchanting in the clear eve
ming air ttlat we stopped at
a turn and revelled in the
panorama which lay before
us.
We passed Mestrovic's In
dian Equestrian. Whenever !
am in Chicago, winter or sum-
mer, I never fail to see this
masterpiece Of our greatest
sculptor, whose work over
more than half a century has
earned him world renown.
Child City At Night
We continued along the
shoreline until it was neces-
sary to turn west through
Wisconsin and Minnesota for
Canada.
Some 20 miles from the
shore of Lake Michigan, due
to the erection of some bridge,
we were detoured about Is
miles. That detour brought us
to the grounds of the Chill

so we did not stop, but pro.

I could not help but re-
calling the great sentiment
which engendered the build

monument to the self-sacri-

Chicagoans, and later en-
braced and maintained by
the entire membership of
the Croatian Fraternal
Union.

Of northern Illinois, and even

state of Wisconsin, for Du-
luth, Minnesota. -
We stopped shortly in Ma
Olson, Wisconsin, the capital
city Of that state and the GEN.
ter of the richest dairy lands
of the country.
We drove through the Wis
consin University campus, sit
uated in a wooded area on
Lake Mendoza, the largest of
four lakes in the city of Mad
ison. The capitol building is
one of the most beautiful in.
the United States, and known
throughout the world as 4
masterpiece Of architecture.
On the road through the
northwestern part of Wis
consin, we passed through
Chippewa Falls, which a
few days earlier was hit by

An entire section of the city
was completely demolished.
Trees broken or uprooted. Un-

Duluth A Great Port
We reached Duluth, Min

ped on the shores of Lake
Superior, where we had an
excellent view of the entire
city. r:,.. ~cef.l
This was our first visit to
this metropolis, known as the
third largest depot for the
transportation of wheat. We
spent the night in a motel on
the shores of Lake Superior,
on the main highway between
Duluth and Port Arthur.
All night long, I listened to
the waves striking the rocks
below us, and transported my
self in my imagination to the
days of my youth when / lis-
tened to the waves of our
blue Adriatic break against
the reefs of the Istrian coast.
The next day we set cut
along the shoreline through
the picturesque woodlands
of Minnesota towards the
Canadian border. We.
paused several times along
the lake shore and enjoyed
the view of lovely bays and
sharp crags along the lake.
We crossed the border at
Pigeon River and continued
slowly along the curving road
through thick forests to Fort
William and Port Arthur,
which are twin cities on Lake
Superior with a population Of
close to $4,000 and known as
the largest wheat center Of
the world. =
