Luxembourg Mixed 

Bowling League 

William (Bill) Woertz, owner of 

the Clark Lunt Bowling Alleys, which 

was the home of the original alleys of 

the first Luxembourg Bowling League, 

invites you now to help start another 

Luxembourg Bowling League. Bill 

says: "Why not a mixed league? A 

mixed handicap league gives you a 

barrel of fun and good and healthy 

recreation. 

Mr. Woertz's alleys are all Brunswick 

Automatic and in tip top shape. 

Several of our former bowlers of the 

Luxembourg league have expressed 

their desire for such a league. If you 

wish to bowl in this league, get in 

touch with Mr. Woertz at Shedrake 

3-2636 or Charles Fautsch, at AM. 

2-9307 or see Mary Kinsch at her 

place of business, 6624 N. Clark St. 

The night of bowling would be 

Wednesday evening. Either 7 or 9 

o'clock shift. You may also contact 

Harry Trausch, of the Luxembourg 

News. He would be happy to give 

you further information. 

If you never bowled before need 

not matter. This is a handicap league. 

We are not looking for high average 

bowlers. Just a man and his wife or 

your sweetheart. Just a night out 

bowling having a good time. 

The league starts bowling Wednesday 

following the Schobermesse. See 

me or any of the others mentioned 

before or at the Schobermesse. Do it 

now and you'll be in a bowling league. 

You will be bowling on Wednesday

The Castle of Bourscheid 

Bourscheid 

; Bourscheid is located on the Sure 

in the Oesling. It is a farming community 

and is reached Autobus from 

Ettelbrueck. The ruins of the feudal 

castle of Bourscheid are situated some 

10 km. from Diekirch to the northeast, 

and to the north of Ettlebrueck, 

and are extremely interesting. The 

rocky promontory on which the ruins 

are situated, rises to a level of the 

Sure, which washes it on three sides. 

This site is connected with the mountain 

from which it projects, by only 

a very narrow ledge; remarkable and 

unique. 

There are many and through very 

picturesque districts; at least 40km. 

of these lead through wild country; 

wonderful views on the valleys of the 

Sure, the Schlinder and the Wark; 

routes well marked and accessible. 

For a map apply to the Syndicat 

d'Initiative. 

Thank You For Your 

Kind Condolences 

We the children of the late John

on our behalf in this our tour of 

bereavement. Thank you kindly. We 

are most grateful.

We Were Not 

Disappointed 

I am sure I can speak for all those 

who witnessed the "Music IN Motion", 

on Saturday, July 18th, at the 

Notre Dame Statdium. They will agree, 

it was a great show. We were 

glad we came, 

Luxembourg received a great boost 

as a National Group. It was also 

noteworthy to see when these champion 

corps took the field and among 

the many flags which were part of 

their drill, ons could see them wave 

the Luxembourg flag throughout the 

drill. 

Many of those leaving the grounds 

stopped at the Skokie Legion Club 

House in Skokie, where open house 

was held. This Legion Club was the 

co-sponser with the Luxembourg 

American Social Club in producing 

this show. 

Sunday July 19, a visit to Cantigny 

First Division War Memorial Museum 

on the farm of Col. Robert R. Me 

Cormick, near Wheaton, Ill. 

Two buses left the Luxembourg 

Gardens, at 10:30 in the morning. 

Besides the members of the club making 

this trip we were accompanied 

by an honor guard from Skokie Legion 

Post and the accordian players from 

the Wilkins Symphonettes. The 

distinguished Colonel William Kearney, 

publisher of the Pickwick papers 

had charge with Dick Smith of the 

Luxembourg Club of the outing. 

Upon arriving the visitors went 

through the museum and visited the 

beautiful gardens with their wide 

variety of flower beds and rose bushes. 

The highlight of the visit was the 

laying a wreath at the graveside of 

the late Col. Robert R. McCormick. 

While the Legion members stood 

honor guard, Harry Trausch, publisher 

of the Luxembourg News placed 

the wreath at foot of the monument. 

At one o'clock the home of the 

Colonel was opened for visitors. After 

our visitors went through this home 

with the valuable pocession and ancient 

furnishings the buses left to 

keep a date with management of the 

Gardens, where dinner was waiting 

for us. Following the meal, the Wilkins 

Symphonettes entertained the 

happy gathering with peppy accordian 

music.

Marion J. Wilczynski, 32, of 122 

155th St., Calument City, said he applied 

the knowledge he gained while 

showing Boy Scout lifesaving films to 

youngsters. 

Wilczynski rescued the three small 

hildren of Frank J. Weber, 28, of 

8220 Central Park, Skokie, when their 

boat capsized in Swan Lake near Crystal 

Falls, Mich. 

Weber and Albert E. Grubb, 54, of 

1425 N. Kenmore, Round Lake Beach 

drowned when the 12-foot outboard 

motorboat was swamped and capsized. 

Grubb's son, Albert, 16, who helped 

keep the Weber children afloat until 

help arrived, was rescued by Robert 

J. Nelson, a police commissioner in 

DeKalb, Ill. 

Wilczynski pulled the three Weber 

children, Frank Jr., 5; Patricia, 4, 

and John, 2, into his boat, raced to 

the shore 100 feet away and applied 

mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Patricia. 

"The little girl girl was limp when 

I got her into my boat," Wilczynski 

said. "Water was coming from her 

mouth and I knew I had to do something 

fast." 

It was several minutes before the 

youngster responded. 

Wilczynski spotted the youngsters 

floundering in water 18-feet deep as 

he and his two sons fished in another 

part of the lake. 

"I heard the shouts, but the sun 

was right above their heads and I 

couldn't see. Fortunately, I had a 

pair of binoculars with coated lenses 

in my boat. I could barely make them 

out in the water and when I finally 

realized what might have happened, I 

couldn't believe my eyes," he said. 

"I guess their fathers' last work 

were instructions for them to hold 

onto the boat, when I got there — 

and it was quite a distance — they 

were holding onto each other and 

onto the boat as much as they could 

"I remembered enough to pull them 

aboard by the end of the boat, rather 

than the side, to prevent my boat 

from capsizing. I had to leave the 

older boy in the water because I 

couldn't risk the lives of the three 

kids I pulled aboard plus my own two 

by overloading," he said. 

Nelson arrived at the capsized boat 

moments later and helped the Grupp 

boy aboard. 

Skindivers recovered the bodies of 

the two men several hours later. 

Herbert Hoover — Thirty-First President: 

ACNS reminds you that on 

August 10, 1874 — ninety years ago 

today — Herbert Clark Hoover, 31st 

President of the United States was 

born in Iowa. He was graduated from 

Stanford University as a mining engineer 

and engaged in mining operations 

both in the United States and 

abroad. During World War I, Hoover 

came into prominence as chairman 

of the American Relief Committee in 

London, head of the Commission for 

Relief in Belgium, and United States 

Food Adminsrator. He served in both 

the Harding and Coolige Cabinets as 

Secretary of Commerce, and was elected 

President on the Republican ticket 

1928. His term was marked by an 

economic collapse in 1929 and the 

"great depression," and he was defeated 

for re-election in 1932 by 

Franklin D. Roosevelt. Since his defeat 

Hoover has been active in many 

forms of public service. 

HOME IS TRUE RICHES 

So many people these days put success 

before their home life. No matter 

whether you earn ten dollars a 

week or ten hundred dollars a week, 

your home is the best part of your life, 

and no one should forget it. 

A man with a wife and o family 

who love him is lucky man and he 

should treat this good luck right, no 

.matter what he does for a living.

Check Insurance 

Coverage Before 

Driving Into Canada 

Chicago Motor Club members who 

plan to travel north across the border 

for a Canadian vacation are warned 

that failure to provide adequate evidence 

of insurance following an accident 

can result in suspension of 

driving privileges. In some provinces 

and in the Yukon Territory, such 

failure also brings impoundment of 

the vehicle. 

In the provinces of Alberta, British 

Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland, 

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and 

Prince Edward Island, evidence of 

Financial Responsibility is acceptable 

in the form of a Motor Vehicle Liability 

Insurance Card (commonly 

known as a Pink Card) authorized by 

the particular province concerned. 

While other Canadian provinces do 

not require a "Pink Card," it is recommended 

that members carry some 

evidence of the required insurance 

coverage. 

It should be particularly noted that 

severaly provinces have Financial Responsibility 

laws that require Bodily 

Injury Liablity and Property Damage 

Liability limits of $35,000. Alberta, 

British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, 

Quebec, and Saskatchewan all require 

this minimum $35,000 liability limit. 

Commenting on the situation, Neil 

C. Russell, executive vice president of 

the Chicago Motor Club, said: 

"Although Canada does not have a 

compulsory insurance law in the 

United States sense, compliance with 

the $35,000 requirements is strongly 

advisable for U.S. travelers." 

Russell emphasized that Canada 

does not consider $10,000-$20,000 

Bodily Injury Liability and $5,000 

Property Damage as equivalent to 

the required $35,000 limit, but that 

limits of $35,000-35,000-35,000 are acceptable. 

Russell stressed that members planning 

Canadian trips should secure in 

advance from their insurance agents 

the "Pink Cards" which show proof 

of the required insurance coverage. 

IDEAS INSPIRE ACTION 

Ideas rule the world. If ideas and 

ideals were kept on the highest plane, 

appropriate action would naturally 

follow. — William O. Douglas.

Will I Lose My Citizenship 

If I Marry an Alien 

and Live in His Country? 

vûesuon: i am an rvmericdii en 

/:eii, naving oeen worn in uie unue 

states, but intend to marry an anee 

ana thereatter live in my husuarm 

cuumry. Vviu J. lose my American cm 

zenship by doing thisr 

An swer:o, you will not lose you 

American citizenship by marrying ai 

alien, or by living abroad. If you wisr 

to retain your American citizenship 

however, you must be careful not to 

commit any of the acts which wouk 

result in its loss, such as voting in ; 

political election in foreign state, tak 

ing an oath of allegiance to foreigr 

state, or being naturalized in a foreign 

state. 

ING American citizen loses his or hei 

citizenship by marrying an alien. Laving 

abroad, however, is a. diiterent 

matter Here a different rule applies 

to native born and naturalized citizens. 

Prolonged residence abroad does 

not affect the citizenship of native 

born citizen. This is not true, however, 

of a naturalized citizen. It the 

latter resides continuosly for five years 

in any foreign country or for three 

years in the foreign country in which 

he was born, or of which he was 

formerly a national, he ill lose his 

American citizenship. There are certain 

exceptions to this, which are 

enumerated in the law: among the 

exceptions are naturalized citizens who 

are in the employ of the United 

States government or of an American 

organization; or who are prevented 

from returning to the United States 

by their own ill health, or the ill 

health or death o a parent, spouse, 

for child, who cannot be brought to 

the United States and whose condition 

requires the naturalized citizen's personal 

care and attendance. 

MANLINESS — FEMININITY 

In the wonder of marriage, manliness 

is discowered as something acting 

in concert with femininity, not as 

something different than, in isolation 

from. 

— Ed Willock. MARRIAGE. 

How Can I Help My 

Son Get Back His 

American Citizenship? 

Question: My son was 18 years old 

when the Second World War broke 

out. I sent him to relatives in South 

American because I did not wish him 

to be drafted into the Army. I am 

now an old man and am anxious to 

have my son return here, but some 

time ago he was advised that his departure 

from the United States was 

in violation of criminal law and also 

that he had lost citizenship because 

he left the United States to evade 

the draft. Is there anything i can do 

to help him to get his citizenship 

Dack, since it was really my mistake 

tnat he left the country. 

Aswer: The United States Supreme 

ôuntr recently declared unconstitutional 

that provision of the law under 

«vhich you son lost his citizenship. 

Your son should go to the nearest 

Jnited States Consulate and apply for 

United States passport. It may take 

ome time, and possibly even litigaion 

to have his citizenship reinstat- 

1. But if while he was abroad he 

.id not commit any act which exatriated 

him as for instance voting in 

foreign political election or swearig 

an oath of alligience to another 

overnment, he will in the end unoubtedly 

be reinstated as a United 

tates citizen. It is possible, howver, 

that upon return he will be 

u,bject to criminal prosecutoion as 

draft evader.

I Saw a Man Die 

jLast week I saw a man die. He 

had suffered unimaginable torture. 

Second-degree and third-degree burns 

covered 4U percent of his body. For 

five days and six nights he had fought 

off the inevitable before he drew his 

last rasping breath. 

Old friends had spent the weekend 

at his house, and on Sunday night 

they were to have a giant steak., charcoal-broiled 

on his outdoor grill. When 

the coals did flare quickly enough, he 

gave them another squirt from a 

large can of fluid. There was a vapor-puff 

explosion. You may have 

seen one like it. There is a flash of 

light, but very little sound -- only 

a quick phfjt, and it is all over. 

This time it was not over. As he 

released the thumb pressure on the 

can a tiny bit of flaming vapor was 

sucked back into the can. It exploded. 

The bottom blew out and drenched 

him with flaming fluid. 

He roiled on the ground, got up 

quicKly, ran toward the river, stumbbled 

and fell, got up and hurled himself 

in to the water, There was no 

scream. There was little sound of any 

kind. Even the exploding can made 

little noise. He said, "Oh, my God!" 

twice in an agonized undertone, and 

one of his dogs howled. In less than 

30 seconds it was over, and 30 

minutes later he lay in a hospital bed, 

bandaged like a mummy. 

I went over the ground later and 

saw the burned grass and the burned 

branches of the cedar tree above. I 

picked up the remains of the can. It 

bore a name familiar to all of us, and 

it contained a fluid I have often 

used. One of the purposes for which it 

is sold is the starting of charcoal fires. 

The still readable direction were clear. 

If used on charcoal, wait before you 

- light it. Never add more after the 

fire is started. But how often have 

you followed these directions, if you 

have read them at all? 

If you light charcoal this way, 

please don't invite me to a cookout 

at your house. I never want to see 

another man die.

Is There Some Way I 

Can Have My 

Illegitimate Son Join 

Us in the U.S.? 

Question: Both my wife and I ar 

American citizens by naturalization 

Before I came to the United State 

I had an illegitimate child. The moth 

er disappeared, leaving me with th 

baby. I have brought up the chil 

and when I married, my wife treate 

the child as if he were her own. W 

had to leave the child when we im 

migrated, because we all come form 

country with a heavily oversubscribe 

quota, but we are most anxious t 

have him join us. Is there any way i 

which this can be done? 

Answer: Whether the child can joi 

you depends on his age. If he is un 

der 14 years old, you and your wii 

may petition for him as an "orphan."

Duche of Luxembourg on December 

10th, 1890 He immigrated to the 

shores of these great United States 

of our's as a young man 21 years in 

the spring of 1911. He did not come 

here to seek fame and fortune but 

came here to do his part to build 

this country to the standard it recognized 

today as the greatest country in 

the world. 

When this country's safety was in 

danger during the First World War, 

John Trausch readily joined the 

United States Army in May of 1918 

for he was willing to fight to preserve 

the freedom and liberty that we all 

enjoy today. He received an Honorable 

Discharge from the United 

States Army as a non-Gommissioned 

Officer in September of 1919. 

Brother Trausch joned the Luxembourg 

Brotherhood of America Section 

#9 on April 12th, 1912 — 52 

long years ago. He immediately became 

a most active member for he 

was called on to do so for the good 

and welfare of our society. 

In the year of 1929 the members 

of Section #9, by an unamimous vote 

elected Brother John Trausch as President 

of Section #9, a position he 

held until the year of 1949 — 20 

years, and it was only them that he 

begged the members of Section $9 

that he wished to retire from his duties. 

Through his untireing efforts and 

his keen guidance Section #9 prospered 

and was at that time one of the 

leading Sections of our Brotherhood. 

In later years Section #9 merged 

with Section #3 of Rogers Park. 

In the Bi-Annual Convention of 

our Brotherhood which was held by 

Section #2 South Chicago in 1935 

Brother John Trausch was elected to 

office of Grand Trustee This office 

of Trust has held by him for 25 years 

until his retirement in 1961. 

In the record books of the Luxembourg 

Brotherhood of America the 

name of John Trausch will always be 

outstanding as long as our Brotherhood 

exists. 

He was indeed a great asset to our 

society. Men like him are hard to 

replace in any society. 

Until his retirement as few years 

ago John Trausch was employed by 

the Prudential Insurance Company 

were he rendered 35 years of faith-
