Passing Of John Ercegovich Brings
Back Memories Of Great FraternaIist
Society's Minnesota Members Came To
Deeply Admire And Respect Late Leader

IIC was HulCC ulo u ulilCllCdl
in organizing the Minnesota
Federation of Croatian Fra
ternal Union Lodges to help
strengthen and to bring clo-
ser the membership of the
C.F.U. Lodges in Minnesota
John attended most of the
C.. F. u. Conventions whether
he was a delegate or not and
it might seem strange to
many of the delegates to this
conclave who knew brother
Ercegovich not to see him at
the convention in Detroit
nor hear his hearty laugh and
his friendly greeting in the
halls of this great delegate
gathering. John was proud of
the C.F.U. and lived it in a
true fraternal manner.
Aside from his deep inter-
est and activity in the Gro
atian Fraternal Union, John
was a civic-minded person and
participated actively in many
local and regional affairs and
was a prime mover in many
projects that tended to bet
ter the social and economic
well-being of the people in the
community.
John took an active part
in politics as a member of
the Democratic-Farmer La
Dor Party both on the local
and state levels. He was a
progressive amongst our
Croatian people and his pO-
litical life and activity was
q great influence and in
spiration to many of us.
AS we knew him, so his
friends and neighbors knew
him and loved him for his
many sterling qualities and
for his civic-minded spirit.
Though interested in ma
ny things primary among
these was his home. To him
his home was his castle and
on general principles he held
to the idea that the making
of a living was not necessarily
the making of a life.
He accepted and fulfilled
the poetic concept that, lit
takes a heap of living in a
house to make it a home. In
this respect the Ercegovich
home radiated love and af-
fection which reflected the
kind of hospitality apparent
to even the most casual Wis.,
itor.
And so, as we seek to eval-
uate his services and contri-
buttons, beginning in the
home, extending to the COM
munity and to the Croatian
Fraternal Union, kindness,
generosity and good judge
ment were always cardinal
factors.
In summation, may I say
with all that is implied In
these words, "Well done!"
To his sons and daughters
close relatives and intimate
friends, his passing has left
"a vacant place against the
sky.

this moment, with the Croa-
tan Fraternal Unions 10th
Convention in session at De-
troit, we go back in retro
spect to associations of yes
teryears.
Memories are made more
vivid and in mind and spirit
we walk once more with those
who sat in our midst and
shared with us our common
interests and problems.
1t Is my sad, but privi-
legged, opportunity to write
a few words in the midst of
the Convention to the men,
ory Of a close friend and
fraternal brother, John Err
cegovich.
His membership in the Gro
attain Fraternal Union, since
it's inception, is fresh in the
minds of most of us. His sud-
den, untimely death on April
8, 1859, must be recorded as
a distinct loss to the Croatian
Fraternal Union, the commu-
nifty in which he lived, and a
great sorrow to his family
and a host Of friends.
I realize that what I say
will be inadequate to properly
convey our affection and ad-
miration for him and oul
great grief that he is no long.
er with us.
John Ercegovich, like most
Of our parents, was a product
of the Old Country. He was
born on January 27, 1889.
He came to America ir
1910 and united in marriage
in 1918. To this union of Ana
and John Ercegovich five
sons and two daughters were
born, Thomas, Carlo, Mike
Anton, John, Mary and Julia
However, the family suf-
fered q tragic loss in the
deaths of Ana, who passed
away in 1912, and of 1t.
John of the United States
Air Force, during World
War III.
Brother Ercegovich was ,
man of many virtuous quail

who immigrated from the Ole
World, he gave his best. HI
brought with him his bes'
traditions and aspirations il
the pursuit of opportunity
and happiness and those finel
things imbued in him as {
citizen of the Old World.
John was a working man
He labored hard and long fol
many years in his trade as I
carpenter to provide for th'
essentials of life for himself
and his good family. HI
raised his children in dignit,

State Lifts Ban
On York Milk
Maryland Permits
Montgomery Sales

The Maryland State Health
Department yesterday lifted its
ban on the sale Of raw milk
supplied by a York (Pa) dairy
for Chestnut Farms (Sealtest)
Dairy here.
The ban was imposed on the
recommendation of Montgom-
cry County health authorities
last week after health officials
reported that raw milk from
the supplier-Penn Diaries
showed a bacteria count over
the Maryland limit of 100000
per cubic centimeter.
Carroll F. Brinsfield. chief
of the State Health Depart
ment's division of food con-
troll, said State officials have
completed an inspection of the
York dairy and we're very well
satisfied" with the dairy's facil-
tiles and the quality of the
milk. He said the inspectors
were unable to account for the
high bacteria count, but added
the milk may not have been
sufficiently agitated for testing.
The non-District inspected
milk was being imported by
Sealtest for sale only in nearby
Maryland. When the ban was
imposed, DR.. William j. Peoples.
Montgomery's health officer,
said there was no evidence the
milk was unsafe, but that an
average of three samples tested
showed a bacteria count above
the States legal limit.

ReheoringSet
On Go-Curt
Race Track

Citizen protests to a proposed
go-cart race track near Bowie
have prompted the Prince
Georges County commissioners
to reconsider their earlier APP
proval of the one-third-mile
course.
The county heads yesterday
scheduled a rehearing on the
permit application for 1880
am. May % in the county
courthouse, Upper Marlboro.
The rehearing was requested
by Carlyle j. Lancaster, an
attorney representing residents
opposed to the track. The COM
miSsioners authorized track
permit April 81 when no oppo-
sition appeared at public
hearing. The permit has not
yet been issued.
The track is proposed on an
11-acre site off U. S. Route so
and Church road just south
east of Bowie. Plans call for
a grandstand capacity Of 5000
persons.
The permit is sought by Ray
Courtney, operator of a Dis
trict sports shop. Go-carts are
four wheeled open vehicles
powered by 212 horsepower
gasoline lawnmower-type en-
gines that can be driven by
children or adults.
Marion West, attorney for
Mr.. Courtney, said he had no
objection to a rehearing, and
that his client would not pro-
coed with the project in the
meantime. However, Mr.. West
did not commit himself to
abiding solely by the commits
