to order at 1:3O pm. Sunday,
Jan. II, in the st. Cecilia

As always, there are many
things to discuss for the wei

However, the most Inn
portant item on the agenda
for Jan. IL is the election
of . Lodge President for
1859, something we were
unable to accomplish dur
Ing the annual meeting Of

This office is an important
one, for it's occupant must
step in when the President is
unable to preside over a
monthly meeting or unable to
attend a major function of
the Lodge.
Surely there must be some
young member in our midst
who is, willing to accept this
post and learn what it means
to be an officer Of q large
Lodge.

producer and announcer OF
the Croatian Radio Hour, has
come up with an entirely new
show for his Anniversary Gel
ebration this year.
All of the entertainment
which Mr.. Birek has presen-
ted to his patrons at the an
niversary celebrations of the
past have been of the finest
caliber and in his efforts to
provide something new each
year he has gone far afield
to secure the talent and ex-
perience to build his pro
grams.
And even where the To-
cal artists are concerned
he urges them to provide
something out Of the ordi-
nary for his Anniversary
shows.
Thus it might be said that
the only similarity between
this program of 1859 and
those of the past will be in
the location.
The show will be held again
at the Slovene Auditorium on
st. Clair Ave., and the date
for the celebration is January
II, 1859. Time, 2:30 pm.
Supper will be served after
the program and dancing is
to begin at 7::30 pm. Haller's
Orchestra will play in the Up
per Hall, a Tamburitza Or
chestra in the Lower Hall.
Something Different
The Anniversary celebra-
ton is SO different this time
that it is being billed as a
"Folk Festival" because that
is the only way TO describe
the many different acts and
presentations for the pubhc's
enjoyment.

year will be the appearance
of the choral group and folk
dancers from the Christ the

Nicaraguan
Censors Stop
Bishops Article

MANAGUA, Nicaragua -
(NC) Government censors have
prevented publication of an
article in which a Bishop
here criticized persons who
tag as communistic every
thing contrary to their in
terests.
The article, written by Aux
Hilary Bishop Carlos Borge of
Managua, was scheduled to
appear on the editorial page
of La Prensa, an independ-
ent daily published here.
But government censors re-
.jected the article as being
"communistic" itself.
The Bishops article was
written during the jittery
time following the abortive
revolution in which rebel
forces attempted to overthrow
the military regime of Presi-
dent Luis Somoza-D ebayle of
Nicaragua.
In the article, Bishop
Borge deplored the use of
the word communism" as a
"catchword" applied "for diff
ferent purposes, according to
the convenience of those who
use it,"
"The word communism"
the Bishop said, "has become
the catchword of many peo-
pie who actually do not know
meaning of communism"
but who use the term to
"~stigmatize" others.
