There is a total of $780,

Each year a transfer was
made from the Administra-

of $3O,OOO.OO, and $5,OO0.0O

total of S14O,000.00, for the
expenses of the Tenth Con-

Try as we may, we were un-

it should be mentioned, that
the Convention has two main
tasks, namely, adoption of
bylaws for the next four
years, and the election of the

These two tasks will use up
most of the time.
If all the conventions

COkEBURG, ia. - ST.
George" CFU Lodge 354 of
Cokeburg will hold a Moon
light Picnic Sat. Sept. II, 1859
at our usual picnic spot, La
nik's Farm which is located
near Bentleyville.
This is an entirely new un-
dertaking for our lodge due
to the fact that all of our
picnics have been on Sunday,
so we urge all our members
and friends to turn out.
There will be nothing lack
ing at this picnic. Hot lamb
and young pork will be on
sale at 4 Pm. and be pre-
pared by bro. Joe Cindrich of
McKeesport, Pa.
The lamb and pig will be
on sale just in time for your
Sat. supper so this is a fine
opportunity to give the cook
in your home a treat and Sat.

lamb and pig at our picnic.
Entertaining for the late
afternoon and evening we
will have on hand our very
own Blue Eagle Tamburit-
"a Orchestra of COkeburg
who will start the music
rolling at 5 PM. and con-
tinue throughout the entire
evening.
AS is the custom, there will
be all types of cooling refresh
ments and home made Kolaci
along with everything that is
necessary to make this a ty-
pical Croatian Picnic.
This will be the last picnic
of the season in our area so
we urge all our members and
friends to join us on Sept.
IL, 1859 and help close the
picnic season with something
very new and very different.
This will also be our last
affair before our delegates
from these 4 Counties leave
for the 10th CFU Conven-
ton; so it will give our
members a fine chance to
discuss some of the press
ing questions with our del
egates.
Once again there will be
signs posted from Bentley
vile all the way to the picnic
grounds but those who are
travelling the new Turnpike
should watch for the Carlton
Motel and at this point get
off the new Highway; there
will be a very large sign at
this point giving you the di-
rection.
