field for many decades, prin-
cipally in the cities, and later
on - after the political re-
birth of the peasants Of Gro
alta - in the villages.
Looking at it from this
point, the Croatian singing
societies in the United States
were principally the imita-
ton of the similar societies in
old Croatia.
And, likewise, they were
supposed to be the torch
bearers of the national Gro
attain spirit, the spirit Of
the centuries-old struggle
for political and national
liberty, for the democratic
way of life.
We can truly say that most
of such societies in America
were doing this work of keep
ing the light of nationalistic
spirit burning among the Gro
attain immigrants in America
with success and they de-
serve much credit in spread
ing the good name of the
Croatian people in the field Of
cultural achievements.

The Golden Years
Another celebrant, the pre-
sent lodge secretary and pres
ident of the sick committee,
Brother Joseph Dobrinich, is
not only one of the most dill
igent workers in the lodge in
the fraternal field, but took
this occasion to show his
strong fraternal spirit by con-
tributing $25 out of his own
pocket to the Lodge to help
defray the cost of the BAN
ouet at which he was one of
the guests of honor. What
better example is there for a
truly fraternal spirit?
1t gave me further pleasure
to greet and grasp the hand
of another 50-year member,
Brother Stephen Bernardich,
former member Of the Su-
preme Board and of the High
Trial Board Of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, who, during
all his life among our Cleve-
land brothers, was one Of the
strong pillars of the Society
J in that area.
Congratulations Due

of the lodge will publish a
more detailed description of
this significant and great Gel
ebration Of a Lodge in honor
of it's 50-year members, which
they have earned.
For myself, and in the name
of the Supreme and Executive
Boards, Officials and entire
membership Of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, l congratu-
lated each of the 5O-year
members who were honored,
with the wish that the good
! Lord keep them among us for
many, many more years, in
good health and happiness, in
the circle of their families and
friends for the good of their
lodge and the Croatian Fra
ternal Union.
Let us honor and respect
our elders for everything they
have done for the Society ir
their younger years, that oul

ciate the work we today.

Oldest Lodge In Ohio
The Croatian Working
mems Benevolent Society "St.
Nicholas" Lodge No. IA of
the Croatian Fraternal Union
in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sun
day, April 18th, observed the
anniversary of it's own found
ing and the 65th Anniversary
of the Croatian Fraternal
Union.
On that occasion, special
honor and homage was paid
thirty-six members of the
lodge who are members of the
Society so years or more.
Lodge No. IA is the oldest
Lodge of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union in the state Of Ohio.
1t was organized in April,
1895, as the "St. Nicholas
society, Lodge 22, of the Gro
attain Society.
After sixty years opera
ton among our people in
Cleveland, the lodge mer-
ged, in 1855, with Lodge
No. IA, which was organ
lied in April, 1914, as the
first lodge in Ohio of the
former Croatian League of
Illinois.
The consolidated Lodge
kept the name "St. Nicholas, y
the original name of the old.
est Lodge in Ohio, and is
known as No. II, which num-
ber the former Lodge 70 o1
the Croatian League Of Hi
nois received at the merger
of the Societies in 1925.
Lodge No. 79 of the Croa'
tian League of Illinois, after
1925 No. IA of the Croatiar
Fraternal Union, is recorded
in the annals of the Society
as the fulcrum in the move
ment for the merger of oui
several Societies.
At the same time, this
Lodge was one of the most
active lodges in the realiza-
tion of the merger after much
hard work and struggle in the
years 1923-24. The present
Croatian Fraternal Union oi
America is in reality the fruit
of that work and struggle.

Lime Before Spring
To Gain Two Ways

County farmers who lime fields
well before spring will gain two
ways.
William H. Henderson, county
agricultural agent, pointed out to-
day that early lining will give the
soil acid-corrector a chance to
work before crops are planted.
That is desirable when lime is put
on very acid soils, he said, since
lime aids>the early growth of small
plants and can mean the differences
between success or failure.
The agents second point is that
lime is available now and spread
ers are not busy. Waiting until
spring can mean spreaders will be
too busy for quick service, caus-
ing delay in soil preparation and
planting.
Lime is probably needed partic-
ularly on soils used for growing
asparagus, lima beans. cantaloupes,
cabbage, broccoli. soybeans, alfal-
ia, clovers, and legume pastures,
Henderson said.
He emphasized that it's best to
have soil tested to determine line
requirements before any is applied.
The soil testing laboratory at the
University of Delaware school of
agriculture tests soil free.
Mentioning two kinds of lime, the
county agent noted high calcium
and high magnesium or dolomitic
Both DO equally good jobs in cor
recting soil acidity. Because many
plants need magnesium. dolomitic
should be used at least every 1912
years.
For further information on TAX
ing soil samples for testing and
lining soil, contact the county ex-
tension office, Georgetown, and ask
for the bulletin entitled Don't
Guess Have Your Soil Tested.
