Shown here with Coach Eighth Annual Canadian Tourney Hits Spot With Society's Junior Director Fraternalists Across Border Deserving Of Highest Praise For Friendly Spirit By Michael firaslia, Junior Order Director Pittsburgh, Pa. In reviewing the 8th Annual CFU Five Pin Tournament held in Toronto. Ont. April 23 and 24, I want to utilize a very apt expression "dobar je naš na rod." It was a distinct pleasure and honor to be amongst our Canadian members. The warmth of their fraternal welcome is unsurpassed. As the official representative from the home office I was treated to every dignity and^ consideration while on a per- self at the scene of the tour ney. Brother Bezic, a very young man, was a busy per son directing, counseling, ask ing questions and issuing ex plicit orders Ably assisting him were D'Arey Misetic, chairman, a youngster of just 20 years Tony Filipovich, treasurer, who looked even younger John Manestar, vice-chairman and Joe Si mac, recording secretary. This coterie of youthful leaders was a constant source of wonderment ,to me for it deported itself with unfalter ing compctance. Indeed the outstanding impression of the entire tournament was the ef ficacy of this group. Our Toronto lodges can be While watching the bowl ing I had the opportunity of meeting many other obser vers and participants. I be gan talking to a woman who somehow seemed familiar and yet I knew that I had never met her before. When she told me that her name was Carmela Benac then I realized that it was her pictures in the "Z" last year as one of the campaign vic tors that had struck the re sponsive chord. Sister Benac sonal, friendly basis, I was was watching her husband made to feel as if I had known and son bowling.

Bezic. ilton's Lodge 644 arrived and I was again in the midst of fond friends and fraternalists, exchanging greetings with old acquaintances and meeting new friends. The entire afternoon was an exhibition of well organ ized activity. Our Canadian bowlers do not yet possess a i n a n i a y s o n e n o u sports organization to be able to pay their score keepers but they still are imbued with that self-sacrificing fraterna lism which motivates them to gladly and freely give service. I poted with a feeling of pride and amazement the unques tioned obedience to repeated requests for keeping score or any other chore assigned to them. Bro. Anthony Brajdie of the CFU rtome Office staff arrived at abo^ut this time and. to the delight of all, pro ceeded to take movies of the keglcrs in action. Some shots proud of the fraternalists that were also taken of the victory they have trained.

The climax and grand fi nale of this great event was, of course the banquet and dance on Saturday evening. The banquet itself, the pre sentation of trophies and speeches ran the familiar patterns of all such affairs. Serving in the capacity of master of ceremonies was an old fraternalist, bro. Juraj Boras to whom I confided my amazement at the display of harmony on the part of young William Pandak, Sports Director Edward Sabolic and Nest Manager Michael Roman, are players, not necessarily in order, Hewko, Matasik, Cutich, Pulpan, Mitcheletti, Radish, Marnic, Peters, Warchol and Kronstain. Con way trimmed Monessen, Pa., 39 to 36 to re tain its diadem for the third time. and old. I commented that much too frequently we hear all too familiar complaints of the indifference and the apa thy of the younger genera tion. Well, here as in many such instances that complaint, that criticism was baseless. I hope and pray that we may con tinue to be beset by such apathy as I witnessed in Toronto. In my address I stressed the powerful factor that our organization was, is and will continue to be amongst our people. I emphasized too the influence that it wields for the good of our two great o e a n s e U n i e States and Canada and that young and old can be proud to belond to it for it is truly a great democratic American or Canadian insti tution. I singled out one, oi their bowlers, Stanley Znidaric, as an exceptional sportsman for I have seen him at many CFU Ten Pin Tournaments which take him thousands of miles away from home. To bro. Joseph Stanovich, manager of Nest 397, Hamil ton and current leader of the membershij) drive, who just a few minutes before had pre sented me with five new mem bership applications totaling 61 points, I paid particular respects and approbation. The dance that followed was truly a memorable affair. I have never seen as many of our Canadian people under one roof before. I have seldom witnessed such camaraderie, such sincere fraternalism anywhere. I talked with persons who did not share my viewpoints on some things but who ne vertheless respected my opin ions as much as I did theirs. Out of all discussions, for that is exactly what they were since they were never reduced to the level of argu ments, there emerged an even firmer bond of friendship and understanding. When the time for depar ture arrived, it was all too soon. I was wished a happy journey by delegation after delegation of members, yes true friends and fraternalists. I can truthfully say that ne ver in my life have I had a happier time. Before concluding I want to congratulate the tourna ment leadership on a job well done. I want to congratulate our five lodges in Toronto for their display of harmony. I have but one regret and that is that only one lodge outside of Toronto was rep resented. This tournament is and should be accorded all the trappings of a national event. Let's make it so. I know there are bowling leagues through out Ontario and nearby pro vinces. I know that all bowlers en joy the league rolling but I tell you the entire season's bowling cannot begin to com pare to the exhuberance and enjoyment of a two day tour nament.
