Nemški krogi ozna-čajo to vest kot angleško izmišljotino. Ameriška patrulja na Atlantiku bo seveda budno na straži. ODMEV GOVORA Zadnji g o vor predsednika Roosevelta o ameriški pripravljenosti pomagati demokracijam je zbudil zelo ugoden odmev v Angliji in angleških dominijih, na Kitajskem, v Grčiji, v Jugoslaviji, v Turčiji ter v republikah Centralne in Južne Amerike. Nasprotno pa je bil sovražno sprejet v Nemčiji, Italiji in Japonski. ODSTOPIL PATENTE Major Edwin H. Armstrong, profesor električnega inženir-! stva na columbijski univerzi, ie adstopil zvezni vladi v brezplačno porabo vseh svojih 17 patentov, ki se večinoma nanašajo na brezžično komunikacijo. Vojni tajnik Stimson je po-ludbo sprejel in Armstronga johvalil za njegov patriotičen ’in. NAČRTI ZA BODOČE Predsednik Rooseevlt je poslal kongresu šestletni načrt javnih del, katerega izvajanje naj bi preprečilo depresijo po zaključku obrambnega dela. Načrt vsebuje javna dela v splošno korist dežele in razvoj narodnih bogastev. VRTNA DELA POMLADI Mnogi naši rojaki v tej deželi ; imajo okrog svojih bivališč več-j je ali manjše vrtove. Ponekod je komaj nekaj prostora za kako ozko cvetlično gredico, drugod tudi za nekaj trate ali celo za par grmičev in dreves, ponekod pa celo za zelenjadni vrt. Na j vsakem takem vrtu, naj bo velik ali majhen, se prične delo že j zgodaj spomladi. Drevesa in lepotilne grmiče je treba spomladi očistiti suhih, i polomljenih in pregostih vej. j Pri tem čiščenju je priporočlji-ivo ravnati se po teh temeljnih' pravilih: čiščenje ali obrezova-! nje naj se vrši v suhem in sonpnem vremenu; velike rane, nastale vsled odstranjenja debelejših vej, naj se zamažejo s s smolo; za obrezovanje ali čiščenje naj se rabi ostro orodje, da so nastale rane gladke. Drevesa in grmiče je mogoče saditi ali presajti vse do časa, ko začne popje poganjati. Pri tem je treba upoštevati sledeča splošna pravila: Sajenje naj se ne vrši v mokrem vremenu in v mokro zemljo, ker na ta način se korenine tako rekoč zazidajo; rastlina naj se ne posadi bolj globoko kot je rastla prej; predolge debele korenine naj se gladko prirežejo, da jih ni treba j zvijati v izkopani jami; odstra-; ni jo naj se vsi poškodovani delil korenin; krone presajenih dreves je navadno priporočljivo nekoliko izredčiti in prirezati; istotako naj se izredčijo in prirežejo mladike presajenih grmičev; ako se presajeni rastlini ; pognoji, naj se gnojilo ne na- ' klada direktno na korenine, ampak naj pride prilična plast zemlje vmes; pomniti je treba, da so za rastlino najbolj važne drobne korenine, ker tiste srkajo hrano iz zemlje; rastlina, ki ima samo nekaj debelejših korenin brez dodatka drobnih korenin, bo slabo uspevala, če bo sploh rastla; ko je rastlina posajena, naj se jo dobro zalije; zalivanje presajenih rastlin je priporočljivo tudi pozneje, .posebno če je vreme suho; drevesa in grmiče je najbolj priporočljivo kupovati . od znanih domačih drevesnic; tudi glede dreves in grmičev velja pravilo, da poceni blago je navadno slabo in vsled tega predrago. Ako je vrtna trata slaba in 1 plešasta in potrebna nove po- 1 setve, naj se z isto ne odlaša. Mlada trava, ki vzkali in se pri-lično razvije v zgodnji pomladi, : ko je vreme še kolikor toliko < deževno in hladno, ima boljše < pogoje za rast v vročem poletju i kot pozneje sejana. Pri nakupih 1 travinega semena za posetev naj ! se upošteva zemlja in lega trate, i Semenske trgovine nudijo dru- ,i gačne travine mešanice za lahko i ali težko zemljo ali za sončno ] ali senčno lego. Pomniti pa je 1 treba, da preveč sence nobene ] vrste trava ne prenaša uspešno. < Zgodnje pomladno cvetje nam 1 dajejo zvončki, nunka, dafodili, narcize, hiacinte in še nekatere 1 druge gomoljaste cvetlice. Te pa ' je treba posaditi že v jeseni, torej ne povzročajo dela spomladi. 1 Za zgodnje enoletno pomladno : cvetje se domači vrtnarji mar- 1 sikje poslužujejo marjetic (daisies) in mačeh (pansies), ki jih ; je navadno mogoče kupiti že cvetoče v aprilu, in se jih cve-teče posadi na gredice. Te cvet- 1 lice se prodajajo običajno zelo poceni in vzdržujejo cvetlično stražo na gredicah do zgodnjega poletja, ko'so nadomeščene s poletnimi cvetlicami. (Dalje na 4. strani) ir~ » POZNA ZIMA Pozna zima, ki je v začetku preteklega tedna objela velik del Zedinjenih držav, je zahtevala blizu sto človeških žrtev. Najbolj so bile prizadete države North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska in Minnesota. Mrzli val pa je dosegel tudi vzhodne dr>-žave in se je izdivjal šele nar Atlantiku. VRANE ZA HRANO V Franciji, kjer močno pri-majkuje živil, posebno mesa, se prodajajo vrane po 18 centov komad. Pravijo, da kuhane vrane niso slaba jed in tudi vranja juha, da je okusna, samo koža te. črne ptice je grenka ter jo je treba pred kuhanjem odstraniti. KRALJ GOERING! Maršal Hermann Goering, desna roka Hitlerja, je baje določen za angleškega kralja, če in kadar Nemci zavzamejo Anglijo. Goering se ponaša, da je direkten potomec angleškega kralja Henrika, ki je vlada od leta 1154 do 1188. TITULESdU UMRL V pregnanstvu v Franciji je pretekli teden umrl Nicolas Ti-Vilescu, odličen rumunski državnik, prijatelj Francije in Rusije in eden stvariteljev Male entente. Bil je demokratičnih nazorov in vsled tega v sedanjih razmerah ni bilo zanj več prostora v njegovi domovini. Ob času smrti je bil star 58 let. Šesto poročilo Napredka kam-panje norega imena.

ZDRAVJE IN OBRAMBA Ob tem času so misli vse dežele osredotočene na obrambi. Rudarji delajo bolj trdo kot kdaj poprej, strojniki so na delu, da napravijo čim več vsakovrstnega orodja, delavci v plavžih skušajo producirati , toliko jekl£ kot je sploh v človeški moči, število moštva v armadi in mornarici se z veliko naglico veča, \letala se izdeluje skoro z isto brzino kot avtomobile — vse to za ojačenje obrambe naše dežele. .Kar je popolnoma na mestu in pravilno. V zvezi z obrambo se mora vzeti v upoštev tudi splošno zdravstveno stanje ljudstva. In da se to jemlje v poštev, imamo dokaz v dejstvu, da je predsed-. nik Zedinjenih držav, kakor že v preteklosti, zopet objavil proglas, s katerim je določil mesec april kot dobo, ki naj bi se posvetila borbi za kontroliranje raka. Jasno je, da taka bolezen kot je rak, kateri podleže vsako leto nad 150 tisoč oseb, mora priti pod kontrolo, ako hočemo, da bo obramba izvedena v smislu podvzetih načrtov. Rak, kakor nam je vsem znano, se ne začne z bolečinami, kot je slučaj z večino bolezni. Kadar se pojavijo bolečine, je bolezen že popolnoma razvita, in za zdravnika obstojita samo dve stopnji raka: zgodnja stopnja, ki je ozdravljiva, in pa pozna stopnja, ki je neozdravljiva. So pa signali, ki opozarjajo na nevarnost bolezni, in ako se jih odkrije dovolj zgodaj, je bolezen ozdravljiva. Znamenja, ki svarijo pred nevarnostjo niso številna, ampak zapomniti bi si jih moral sleherni izmed nas. Vsak slučaj trdo-(Delje na 4. strani) Zvezni zakladniški department je nedavno naprosil vse časopisje šii’om Zedinjenih držav, da opozarja svoje čitatelje, naj bodo pozorni na ponarejen denar. Med leti 1932 in 1936 je bilo prebivalstvo Zedinjenih držav ! oškodovano potom ponarejenega denarja za približno milijon dolarjev l^tno. V letu 1937 so po-j naredbe padle na manj kot pol milijona dolarjev, v letu 1938 na $340,000, v letu 1939 na $222,000, in v letu 1940 na $100,000. Ti uspehi v zatiranju ponarejevalcev so bili doseženi s poučevanjem prebivalstva in z intenzivnejšim zasl edovanjem kriminalcev. Vsekakor je tudi sto tisoč dolarjev na leto prebogata žetev za zločince, posebno še, ker trpijo izgubo navadno mali ljudje, katere boli izguba vsakega pe-taka ali desetaka. Dejstvo je namreč, da kdor dobi ponarejen bankovec, ga mora brez odškodnine izročiti federalnim detektivom, policiji ali bančnim zavodom. Kdor bi skušal ponarejen denar spraviti naprej v cirkulacijo, pride lahko v resne nepri-like, kajti stric Sam v tem oziru ne pozna šale. Za povprečnega človeka je važno, da ne menjava bankovcev večje vrednosti neznanim osebam. Za trgovce, obrtnike in sploh osebe, ki dostikrat sprejemajo denar od popolnih tujcev, pa je važno, da znajo ločiti pravi denar od ponarejenega. United States Secret Service je z dovoljenjem zakladniškega depart-menta izdala brošuro “Know Your Money” (Poznajte vaš denar), kjer je najti obširna pojasnila, kak/3 se spozna ponarejeni denar od pravega. Tako knjižico lahko dobi vsak, če piše ponjo na naslov: “Super intendent of Documents, Washington, D. C.” in priloži 10 centov. Za osebe, ki imajo denarne transakcije s tujci ali ki menjavajo federalne čeke, na primer delavcem pri WPA, je omenjena brošurica velike vrednosti. Poleg tiskanih navodil so v brošuri tudi slike ponarejenih bankovcev. Sploh je brošura “Know Your Money” priporočljiva za vsakega, ki ima kaj opraviti z denarjem. V današnji dobi pa ima opravka z denarjem vsak normalen odraščen človek. V interesu vsakega poštenega državljana je, da po svojih močeh pomaga pri zatiranju ponarejevalcev. S tem obvaruje sebe in druge direktne finančne škode in marsikake sitnosti. In direktno s tem zniža stroške zasledovanja in prosekutiranja ponarejevalcev ter vzdrževanja istih v zaporih. Hitra zasleditev ponarejevalcev in stroga obsodba istih pa je tudi moralnega pomena, ker odvrača od takih poskusov nerazsodno in lahkomiselno mladino. Značilno je, da je med prijetimi in obsojenimi ponarejevalci največ mladih ljudi, ki niso bili še nobenkrat prej kaznovani. Prej omenjena brošura med drugim priporoča:' Kadar dobite od tujca ponarejen bankovec, ne vrnite ga; pokličite takoj policijo ; zadržite osebo, 'ki vam je izročila ponarejen bankovec, s kakšno pretvezo; ne prepirajte se z njo, ampak, če potrebno, recite, da bo zadevo rešila policija; napišite na kos papirja opis osebe, ki vam je ponarejeni bankovec izročila, ako odide; zapišite si licenčne številke avtomobila ali avtomobilov, ki pri tem igrajo kako vlogo. ZAPOZNELE VESTI OD TAM PREKO NEKAJ STATISTIKE Prebivalstvo Ljubljane je v letu 1940 naraslo samo za 180 oseb. Leta 1938 je bivalo v ljubljanskem policijskem okolišu 87,600 oseb, lani pa 87,780. Tujski promet je zaradi vojnih razmer močno padel. Leta 1939 je prenočevalo v ljubljanskih prenočiščih 52,000 tujcev, lani pa 44,000; inozemcev je bilo predlanskim 15,835, lani pa 6,241. V letu 1940 so bili v Ljubljani izvršeni trije umori in en detomor. Požiga sta bila dva. Deliktov zoper javni red in mir je bi-* lo 415. Zaradi ponarejanja in razpečavanja krivega denarja je bilo aretiranih 33 oseb. Izsledenih je bilo skupno 626 tatov in 136 tatic. POSLOVENJENE BUŠE Pred sodiščem v Mariboru se je moral zagovarjati prekupčevalec z živino Cvetko Majcen. V ptujskem okolišu so dovoljene kupčije le z živino domače reje, toda Majcen si je znal za hrvat-ske buše dobiti legitimacije, da so domače reje, in je take poslovenjene buše prodajal. Obsojen je bil na poldrugi mesec zapora. SMRT UČITELJA V Mariboru je umrl upokojeni šolski upravitelj Radoslav Knaflič, znani borec za pravice slovenskega jezika iz časov pred prvo svetovno vojno. Ko je služ-boval v Kokarjih^ je njegova, borba za pravice slovenskega jezika uspela tako daleč, da so morale celo avstrijske vojaške oblasti z občino dopisovati v narodnem jeziku. Ta uspeh je dal velike pobude tudi drugim slovenskim občinam na štajerskem. NAPADENA GROFICA Štirje drzni razbojniki so nedavno vdrli v stanovanje 75-letne grofice Ernestine Bath-yanyjeve, ki ima veliko posestvo v Skakavcih pri Murski Soboti. Grofico in služkinjo so zaklenili v kuhinjo, nakar so iz hiše odnesli 30,000 dinarjev gotovine in za 10,000 zlatnine. Na klice žensk so prihiteli ljudje in jo rešili iz zapora, nakar so rop naznanili orožnikom. Ti so kmalu zasledili in aretirali vse štiri. Pozneje se je izkazalo, da ima tatinska četvorica na vesti 13 vlomov in eno razbojništvo, njihov plen pri tem pa je znašal nad 100,000 dinarjev. UVOZ IZ RUSIJE V Beograd je nedavno dospela prva partija ruskih avtomobilov. To so osebni in tovorni avtomobili na pogon z bencinom ali z lesnim plinom. Avtomobile prodaja beograjska tvrdka Au* todom. REŠITELJ PONESREČIL Kmet Stevan Ivkovič, iz vasi Kisiljeva v ramskem srezu je, vračajoč se po poti ob Dunavu domov, zaslišal klice na pomoč. Sledil je klicem in zagledal v vodi dva dečka, ki sta se krčevito oklepala plošče lerdu. Štefan je kar oblečen skočil v vodo, priplaval do plošče ter jo krepko sunil proti obali. Ko sta otroka začutila tla pod nogami, sta se srečno privlekla na breg. V tem pa js velika plavajoča ledena plošča Štefanu preprečila, da bi mogel splavati k obali, pa tudi splezati na ploščo ni mogel. Zaradi mraza in napora je Štefan izpustil ploščo in utonil. Vsa vas žaluje za plemenitnim rešiteljem otrok. VSAK POBOJE Znano je, da so na j več ji bahači tisti, ki živijo od pufa, blu-fa in dolgov, medtem ko so ljudje, ki res kaj premorejo, po navadi skromni, in radi še malo pojamrajo. Med slednje se lahko prišteva tudi naš stric Sam. Koliko jamranja je bilo in ga je še, kako slabo je Amerika pripravljena na obrambo in koliko časa bo vzelo, da se pripravi! Pa če prav premislimo, stric Sam ni tak revež. Pred par tedni je dal Angliji kar 50 vojnih ladij v zameno za nekaj letalskih in mornariških baz. Potem smo či-tali, da bo v kratkem posodil Angliji nadaljnih 99 vojnih ladij in da bodo njih mesta v ameriški vojni mornarici zavzele novozgrajene ladje. In oni dan je bilo iz Washingtona kar nekako mimogrede omenjeno, da ima ta dežela že nad milijon vojakov pod orožjem. To že ni več nikaka beračija. v V Angliji in Nemčiji prihajajo v modo dolgi brki in musta-če. Vzrok za to je v pomanjkanju brivskih rezil, ker se jeklo porablja za orožje in municijo. * Starokrajski jisti poročajo, da je v okolici Ptuja neki mešetar kupoval hrvatske buše, kalei-e je potem s ponarejenimi legiti-micijami naprej prodajal kot slovenske buše. Raznarodovanje pa res ni lepo, pa magari, če se nanaša na buše. Mi bi rekli, da buše, pa bile slovenske ali hrvatske, naj se držijo svoje narodnosti. Saj še pesem pravi: Črna zemlja naj pogrezne tega kdor odpada. * Iz nekega ujetniškega taborišča v severni Angliji je pobegnil nemški vojni ujetnik in civilno preoblečen vstopil v neki bus v Sheffieldu. Ko mu je kon-duktor dal vozni listek in drobiž iz šilinga, je potnik vsled sile navade po vojaško s petama skupaj udaril. Konduktor se je napravil kot da ni nič opazil, toda na prvem križišču je dal bus ustaviti in je izročil sumljivega moža tam stoječemu policistu. Na policijski postaji je osumljenec priznal, da je pobegnil iz ujetniškega taborišča. * V listih smo čitali, da se je Mussolini več ko teden dni vozil v oklopnem avtomobilu ob italijansko-grški fronti v Albaniji in je rotil svoje vojake, naj mu izvojujejo vsaj eno veliko zmago. Toda zmage ni bilo in Mussolini je odnesel domov v Rim suho grško figo namesto lovorjevih vencev. # V okupirani Norveški so nedavno patrioti začeli v gumbnicah nositi male papirnate cvetke, kar bi naj med njimi znači-lo, da držijo skupaj. Nemške okupacijske oblasti pa so kmalu nošnjo teh papirnatih cvetk prepovedale. Nato so Norvežani na sličen način začeli nositi v gumbnicah navadne varnostne igle, ki so bile tudi hitro prepovedane. Potem so Norvežani poskusili z nošnjo žveplenk in zobotrebcev v gumbnicah, pa tudi to so nemške okupacijsko oblasti prepovedale. Salamensko strah mora biti Nemce! v V velikih ameriških mestih z ,vsakim dnem bolj primanjkuje prostora za parkanje avtomobilov. V Londonu je pa ta problem začasno rešen. Po bombah podrtih hiš tam ne gradijo znova, ampak večje razvaline odstra- (Dalje na 4. strani) S'" Iz urada gl. tajnika From Ihe Office of Supreme Secretary PREJEMKI IN IZDATKI ME-\ SEC A JANUARJA 1941.

Cene v ljubljanskih gostilnah in kavarnah Novi maksimalni cenik jedil in pijač, ki ga je mestno pogla-I varstvo v Ljubljani odobrilo v 1 sporazumu z Združenjem gostinskih podjetij, je v javnosti j vzbudil živahne komentarje. V | zvezi s splošno naraščajočo dra-I ginjo so se v zadnjem času naglo j dvigale cene tudi po gostinskih 'obratih in razumljivo je, da sta strokovno združenje gostilničar-I jev in nadzorna oblast čutili potrebo po urejajočih ukrepih. Nesorazmerno visoke cene, ki jih | odreja uradni cenik, so prvi trenutek zanetile razumljiv odpor, saj se gibljejo visoko nad cenami dnevnega trga in nad dosedanjimi cenami v gostilnah in kavarnah. Trenutno razburjenje pa je bilo samo posledica nesporazuma. Maksimiranje cen živil in pijač v' gostinskih obratih je v Ljubljani že od nekdaj v navadi, a naj višje cene niso mišljene kot splošno pripuščene cei\e, temveč so samo skrajna meja, ki je ne sm;; prekoračiti nobeno podjetje. Kakor maksimalni ceniki v gostinski stroki doslej niso predstavljali seznama tržnih cen, tako se sme upravičeno upati, da bodo gostje tudi v dogledni bodočnosti po gostinskih obratih deležni cenejše postrežbe, kakor jo zapisuje novi odobreni cenik, i Zaradi izredno slabe vinske le-l tine, ki je posamezne vrste vina nesorazmerno podražila, pač utegnejo pivci doživeti briflko razočaranje, da se bodo cene pijač v resnici na tesno približale maksimiranemu predpisu. Najbolj nazorno sliko nam pokaže primerjava najnovejše-| ga, od 1. novembra veljavnega cenika s cenikom, ki ga je msst-i no poglavarstvo odobrilo dne 13. avgusta 1938 jn je bil doslej v veljavi. Zapored prinašamo , cene tako, da navajamo na pr-i vem mestu cene od 1. novembra 1940, v oklepajih pa cone, ki so vel j a le doslej: čista juha 2.50 (2), kuhanja za juha 4 (4), prikuhe in solate 8 (6), goveje meso 9 (7). telečja pečenka 14 (12), svinjska pečenka 16 (14), naravni zrezek 15 (14), dunajski izrezek 16 (14), biftek z jajcem i 20 (18). perutnina, divjačina, jajčne jedi in ribe po dnevni ceni. bržola 15 (12), mali golaž 5 (4.50)* veliki golaž 9 (9), velika jetrca, ledvice 13 (12), mali | vampi 5 (4:50), .veliki vampi 9 THE MAGIC CARPET JUVENILE PAGE Convention Reporters Scene from the 1939 AFU Third Juvenile Convention and Second Athletic Conference shows our two delegate Star Reporters in action.

It sure j made me happy, so I'd like to tell all j the members that haven’t written yet,! how much fun it is to sit down and write and maybe you too will get an ! award. So come on Josephine Rosmon, Tony I Laurich, Julia Kern and the rest of you, get busy and write. ' Shucks, wish I could write like Dorothy Martinčič. You wouldn’t pass some of your ideas to me, would you, Doro- | thy? Perhaps when I’s as old as you j I may be a little brighter than I am now'. In my first article I forgot to mention that my Uncle Frank and Aunt Pauline sent me a lovely dress for Christmas. It’s the loveliest dress I ever did get. My sisters each got one, too. Uncle Leo. you should see Frances Joanne in the outfit you bought her. Gosh she looks cute in it. Just like “Little Red Riding Hood” only you’d have to call Frances Joanne “Little Brown Riding Hood’ ’because it’s a brown color. This morning I saw a robin in our yard. Does this mean that Spring is near?. I think this is enough for now. Virginia Boles (Age: 10) No. 149, AFU Franklin Boro CQNEMAUGH, PA. DEAR EDITOR: This is my second letter to the Nova Doba, and my name was in the paper recently when I sent in my first letter. We do a lot of hard work in school. Let us help Little Stan in his endeavor. Let’s keep the editor tusy. I am very thankful to have received the dollar check. I am going to buy silk stockings with it. When school is over we are going to a picnic at Idle Park. My mpther said If I do not pass, I will not go. The mill and factories are working good. I listened to President Roosevelt last night. It was on Saturday night at i 9:30. We saw a movie, “Abraham Lincoln,” in our-school. Here is a little squib about birthdays. Birthdays Monday’s child is fair of face; Tuesday’s child is full of grace. Wednesday’s child is loving and giving, Thursday’s child has the joy of living, Friday’s child is full of woe. Saturday’s child has far to go. But the child that's born on the Sabbath'Day, Is blithe and bonny, and good and gay. Angeline Sustersich (Age: 10) Lodge No. £6, Conemaugh, Pa. B. D. No. 2, Box 277 BARBERTON, OJIIO DEAR EDITOR: This is my first time that I wrote to the new Editor. I want to tell you some news about Barberton and Cleveland. The first of March, the Betsy Ross team of Cleveland returned a match game with the St. Martin’s at C. & M. bowling alleys. It’s too bad that St. Martin's first team lost the game with Betsy Ross, and the second team of St. Martin’s won their game from Cleveland. Oh! I was so glad to see Little Stan. Little Stan looks pretty big to be called Little Stan. We had enough refreshments there ; for everyone. Come on Barberton pkp up and write to the Nova Doba. I wonder why there isn’t any Barberton girls and boys writing. What is the matter with Miss Josephine Cerne and Miss Molly Klan-cher that you don’t write. I have to tell you a little about school. In school we have craft where we make tie holders, corner shelves and etc. out of wood. After school is over at night some girls come down to do embroidery with me. We have fun embroidering pillow cases, tablecloths and scarfs. We named our club the K. N. S. Club. Our club starts at 6:30 and ends at 8:30. Whoever wants to join our club see me. I will try to write every month. So-long. Mary Novak (Age: 14), Lodge 44 AFU (Ed. Note:—Nice going, Mary!) Last week we had the heaviest snowfall of the year and it’s been very cold here the last few days. We did however have a couple of nice sunny days. I’m hardly waiting for spring with its sunny days, blooming flowers, singing birds and happy fresh atmosphere. Just to think of it makes me feel better. This is also the time when “a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.” I wonder if we could include young women in that phrase. We wouldn’t object, would W’e gals? Yes, to me spring is the time of the year. I'm going to tell you readers a little about my home town, Strabane. It is not very large but tliree-fourths of the people are Slovenes. We have a big grocery store, two halls, candy shops, shoe shops, and all the other things essential for comfortable living including beer gardens, which every town naturally has. Most of these things are under Slovene proprietorship. The peopie here are very active and co-operative in civic and lodge affairs. Most of the inhabitants are employed at the mines and steel mills, which are working quite well now. Though Strabane is a small town it is known by many Slovenes both near and far. We here, are just like one big happy family and we rjfthink there is no place on the earth better to live in than Straabne. Well, it's getting late and I still have all my nightwork to do, so I’ll close thanking you again for the check. So long till next month. Mary Ludvik, No. 149 AFU (Ed. Note: Will have to come and visit in Strabane sometime!) 105 Second Avenue So. CHISHOLM, MINN. DEAR EDITORS: I think it Is about time to write again, and after the semester exams, you can imagine how I feel like writing! After all# I have to keep one of my resolutions. Today I am waiting a story for Nova Doba, the name: CHLOE, THE SENATOR’S DAUGHTER Chloe, a dark-haired girl of 17 was just coming out of the Avon theatre in Washington, D. C., where she lived, after seeing the movie, “Seventeen,” when Jane Harris, one of her girl friends spied her through the crowd and came running to her saying: “How did you like the picture, Chloe? Have some candy?” as they walked to the bus stop. "Thanks, I will have some,” Chloe answered. “Oh yes, the picture—it was simply divine! I just love to see Jackie Cooper act, and I would do anything to see him in person.” Her big brown eyes closed as she thought of him. When the bus came, Jane had to shake Chloe to awaken her from her stupor. “Hurry, Chloe,” Jane urged, “or we’ll miss the bus.” 1 * Chloe opened her eyes, and murmured, “Oh yes, we’ll miss the bus, Jackie.” "Jackie? Jackie, she calls me!” said Jane stepping into the bus. Why, she must be in love with him!” All the way home Chloe was in the stupor, and no matter what Jane asked 4759 Pearl Street DENVER, COLORADO j DEAR EDITOR: I believe the time has come for more j letters to be published by the Denver j juvenile members. Thanks a lot Mat-j thew Kambic, Jr., for representing Den-|ver with your article. So far, so good! | Keep it up! The campaign for the Fourth Juvenile Convention is open! My brother is a candidate and has already received a half-quota. I think it is my duty to raise his quota as soon as possible. My father told me it would be my turn to go to the Fifth Juvenile Convention. My sister was a delegate to the Second and. Third Juvenile Conventions. She told us all about Minnesota and its beauty. She also told us about the people who acted very friendly toward all the delegates. I am sure that all of the candidates being qualified are very lucky. I believe that the trip will be enjoyed by all delegates. Spring is just around the corner and so is Easter. One Easter duty to be done by all juveniles is to write at least one letter for the next issue. Remember that no excuses will be accepted by the editor. Let’s keep Little Stan busy during the Easter holidays. Let’s all 'write! (Ed. Note: — “That’s okay by Little Stan, too!) Stef fie Okoren (Age: 13) Lodge No. 21, AFU Box 77 WENDEL, PA. DEAR EDITOR: This is my first letter to the Nova Doba and I hope I can send in more of them. I was reading some of the letters in the paper, and I get quite interested in them. So I thought I will write a letter also. Only if Little Stan doesn’t put it in the waste-basket. (Ed. Note:— No danger of that, Frank! Every letter that comes to this office appears on the Magic Carpet Juvenile Page—with pleasure. Sometimes space doesn’t permit all in one week, so they are then booked for the following issue. They are all printed in the order they arrive.) I go to the Washington grade school. I am in the sixth grade. I like to go tp i school. I am only interested in a few subjects in school. They are Math, Spelling, and English. My teacher’s name is Mr. Kauffman. He is a very good teacher. He has been my teacher for three years already. And I won’t mind having him for three more years. My hobby_te playing baseball and marbles. I am not bad in playing marbles. I won a lot of marbles in the last few days. Only when I play marbles, I forget to do my school work that has to be done. Well, I guess I better close my letter until next time. Frank Anzur, Jr. (Age: 11) Lodge 154, AFU Route 1, Box 626 ENUMCLAW, WASH. DEAR EDITOR: In Washington State we are having an early spring. We have nice warm weather and not much rain. Many different kinds of flowers have bloomed and some of the trees and bushes have leaves already. We have ploughed our fields and are ready to plant oui; crops. We have to work very hard because our mother is sick. I LIKE . THE NEW NAME—THE AMERICAN FRATERNAL UNION— ALSO THE NEW CALENDAR BECAUSE IT HAS OUR COUNTRY’S COLORS—THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ON IT THIS YEAR. We' were happy Sunday morning because the swallows came back. They did not forget where they had built their homes last year. They are making new homes for this year. I will try to write more next time. Charles Krainick (Age: 10) Lodge 152, AFU (Ed. Note:—That was a very nice smooth-running newsy letter. Little Stan and the Magic Carpet urge you to write again and soon.) I EUCLID, OHIO DEAR EDITOR: This is my first letter to Nova Doba. I am going to be 10-years old in May. I go to St. Christine’s school and I am in the fourth grade. I take piano lessons from my teacher. I have an eight-year-old sister, and a little brother, too. I think he is going to be a great man someday. He is interested in our school books so much. WE ALL BELONG TO THE AFU LODGE NO. 71. One of i..; ’'ob^cs ^ to read. I read about a dozen books a week. My mother says I’ll “spoil my eyes” but now spring is coming, and I'll spend more of my time outside skating and jumping rope. So long until I write again, Lillian Gustinčič, Lodge 71, AFU STRABANE, PA. DEAR EDITOR: I'll begin my letter by thanking you for the one dollar check I received for my last article. When I saw our secretary, John Boles, coming to our house I didn’t have the slightest idea of his mission. Imagine my surprise when he handed me a check! It’s the first check I’ve ever received and I still can’t be-« lieve it is true. Just think! Spring is here. Out here it's just the opposite of spring weather. Remember? j or said to her, she always managed to ; answer "yes.” I Jane thought she’d better leave Chloe I alone, until she got out of her stupor, i so nothing more was said until they got ! off the bus, in front of their homes, I Jane living next door to Chloe. "Well, I think I'll have to go home i right away,” said Jane as she walked toward her home. “So long.” “I’ll see you tonight,” she called, and ran up the front steps of her house. Chloe simply looked at her with adoring eyes and said, “Oh, Jackie’s wonderful!” Chloe went indoors, took her hat ; and coat off and walked slowly into the living room, where her father was reading the evening papers. Chloe walked past him in a daze. He looked at her, put down his paper and said, “Chloe, what’s the matter with you?” “Your mind seems miles away!” “Oh, yes, father! You’re right. It is miles away. In fact it’s in Hollywood,” Chloe answered as she sped into the kitchen to help her mother with supper. "Chloe,” said her mother, “Will you please peel a few potatoes. They’re in that pan in the cabinet.” “Yes, Mother,” said Chloe, and she went to sfet the potatoes. She came back to the work table, where her mother stood, and started to peel the potatoes. She peeled Slowly, staring into space. Her mother watched her for a while, but said nothing. After peeling a few, potatoes Chloe asked if she should peel anymore. “Why, Chloe! You just peeled two potatoes in all that time. Why, I could have peeled a dozen already! Run along, I’ll peel them myself,” said her mother. Chloe walked upstairs slowly, to her room, and just as she opened the door of her room, the telephone rang. She rushed across the room, picked up the receiver and said, “Hello! Who is this?” “This is Ray, Chloe. Would you care to go to the theatre tonight? I have the car. I think Jackie Cooper is playing in ‘Seventeen.’ ” Chloe couldn’t tell him she had seen the picture before, because she wanted to see Jackie Cooper act again, so she said, “Oh, that’ll be lovely. I’ll be ready when you come. Thanks and goodbye, Ray.” She sat for a while on her bed thinking how wonderful it would be to see Jackie act again. She heard her mother calling her for supper. She ran down thfe stairs whistling and sat down at her place. She excused herself after eating very little, telling her mother she had to dress, for she was going out with Ray. Just as. she came downstairs, she heard Ray honking his horn. She kissed her mother, ran out of the house, jumped into the car beside Ray, and they were off. When they , reached the theatre it was crowded, but the usher found them two seats, near the front. She sat through the picture very quitely. Unusual for Chloe, thought Ray. After the picture they went to an icecream parlor, had a soda, then went home. Chloe was soon in bed dreaming of Jackie Cooper. She awoke early the next morning, still thinking of Jackie, but she managed to get her mind off him, for a game of tennis. As Chloe hit the ball back to her partner, she imagined her partner to be Jackie Cooper, then played much better! A while after dinner, Chloe went to dad’s office to bring him his lunch. As she talked about the game of tennis, she suddenly though of her coming birthday. In less than two weeks she’d be eighteen! She kissed her father, then went home. On the bus, she recalled what her mother and dad had said about her eighteenth birthday. She was to have a large party and any special guest she wanted. That guest, she insisted, would be Jackie Cooper. When she came home, she excitedly told her mother of her coming birthday, but not of her special guest. She’d tell that to her dad. He was easier to handle! That evening she found her dad reading the papers in the living room. She sat* down beside him and told him of her special guest. Her dad said, “Of course you can have Jackie Cooper as your guest, for mother and I didn't say anything about who that special guest would be.” Chloe shouted with joy, kissing her father. Thus, the night of her party arrived and everyone of Chloe’s friends was there. A grand orchestra played and everyone seemed to be having a grand time, except Chloe. She was only thinking of her special guest, Jackie Cooper. Then her father came to her and informed her that Jackie Cooper could not come, because he had made a previous engagement with Bonita Granville. Chloe was burned up, not only because Jackie couldn’t come, but because he was dating Bonita Granville ! She could expect that, being three thousand mile? away from him! So,, it happened that her special guest was the Mayor of New York. Questioned later by her mother and dad, as to if she minded having the Mayor of New York as her special guest, she replied, “Why should I be? The mayor’s grand! As for Jackie Cooper, Bonita Granville can have him!” He’s just another boy—besides I have Ray!” The End. Rose Yartz (Age: .16) 207—2nd St., S. W. CHISHOLM, MINNESOTA DEAR EDITOR: First X want to thank you for putting my article in the “Magic Carpet Juvenile Page of the Nova Doba. When I wrote last time, I made a mistake. I said that I belonged to Lodge No. 30, but my brother belongs to that one. I belong to Lodge No. 230. I thought it was such an awful mistake, so I wrote to tell you about it. I asked some of my friends who belong to the American Fraternal Union to write to this paper. There aren’t very many children from Chisholm who write to the Nova, Doba, so I am going to try to write often. I AM TRYING TO GET SOME NEW MEMBERS FOR QUR SOCIETY. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO BELONG TO THE AMERICAN FRATERNAL UNION, BUT THERE IS ROOM ENOUGH FOR MANY MORE. I DO HOPE WE GET SOME MORE MEMBERS. Now to mention something about Chisholm. We are having some snow, and it is real slushy out. The snow should be melting but we are getting more instead. I think we will still have quite a bit of snow for Easter. I hope not! Well, that’s all for this time. A member and reader, Alyce Shega (Age: 11) . ' Lodge No. 230, AFU 418—Mahan Ave. W. HAZEL PARK, MICHIGAN DEAR LITTLE STAN AND READERS: Isn’t this unusual? This makes my second letter this month. I have only one reason for the letter and it is something that just can’t wait until next month. (This is an in-between letter so you will find it short.) .. I guess you are wondering what I found that is so important. Well, this is it. On March 16, the magazine section of the Detroit News, on Page 2, there was an article (which is now tucked safely away in my scrapbook) entitled “And Am Proud Of It.” It was written by the famous author, Louis Adamic, who is also the author of the books: “From Many Lands,” “My Amertca” and “The Native's Return.” The article, “Am Proud Of It,’ ’is about a young American boy of direct Italian descent, who was almost driven to death by the jeers he received from his schoolmates because of his parentage. With the help of Mr. Adamic, the boy was soon proud that he was Italian-American. The second page of this magazine is every week dedicated to tlie “Building of a Better America.” Remember, altho your parents might have been born Irish, Jewish, German, or Italian, etc.,their hearts are all ..America. . I am going to quote the next paragraph from Mr. Adamic’s article and I hope, as each one of you juveniles tead it, that you will be proud that you are what you are. “It would help us all to realize that America is the creation of people who came here from all over the world: that in a senše, we are all immigrants here and that we need to accept one another as equal parts of this country regardless if our name happens to be Simpson, Dracco, Goldberg, ZamblaOskas, or Star-zinsky.” — Louis Adamic. I am asking you to remember those words because maybe some day they will be as famous as Lincoln’s—“Four Score and Seven Years ago—” This is Anna Hiti, Lodge 144, AFU my sister Anne will come home to spend Easter with us. The boys of our lodge, and other lodges will soon begin their practices for the baseball games, soon to start. It will be nice to spend a pleasant evening watching them play. I am proud to belong to Ilirska Vila since all the players are such good sports. Come on boys! Get started! Or we girls wil! try our hands at baseball. I wish to thank you for the dollar awarded me. Good luck and best wishes to all the members. Florence Prosen (Age: 12) Lodge No. 173, AFU 242 Glenn St. JOHNSTOWN, PA. DEAR EDITOR: % I want to thank the Nova Doba for the one dollar check I received. I didn’t expect that, and it was a pleasure to get it. I had two other letters to send and I asked my mother for stamps, but she didn’t have any. She asked me to wait. The dollar got here befdre the stamps—and it came in handy! (Didn’t it, William?) Well, I’ll now tell my story about our city. We had very nice weather for the ,. last couple of days when all of a sudden the snow came and covered the trees, house-tops, and the ground. The , weather was so cold with that, it seemed like we were in the North Pole. I had to 'shovel the walks three or four times, and still the snow came to cover them up again. The hills looked so nice that it was real picture. House-tops had snow about a foot deep. My little brother and I made a snow house but we broke it down the next day. It started to get nice again; then one morning when I got up—the snow had come. I got up, shoveled it away and all of a sudden my hands started to get cold. I went in to get them warm and put them on a pipe that was hot. I went out again, and then I finished the work and went back in. Then the trouble started. My hands got so hot, I felt as tho they were burning alive. My mother was laughing and poor me, sitting in a chair and crying my head off. My hands burned all day in school. When you face the Wind and the blowing snow comes into your face, you can’t catch your breath. March 18th, 1941, was a cold day. I was freezing “alive.” Well, that’s all I can think of. So long until next time. I’ll try apd write a better letter then. And how about the rest of you members writing a letter to the Nova Doba. Come on, all of.you! Let’s make it. a page of hundreds of letters*« that they won't have room lY>r them all! So long! William Krajec, Lodge 16, AFU Blaine, O. — Dragi g. urednik: Tukaj bom poskusil malo po slovensko napisati, če bom mogel. Mama mi je že večkrat rekla, da naj kaj napišem po slovensko, arftpak jaz še ne znam veliko. Ata me včasih malo uči slovenščine, toda jaz se grem rajši ven v sneg igrat. Tukaj vam pošiljam drobno pesmico, katere sem od ata naučil: Ko mucek naš spi, rad miške lovi, na kupček jih nosi. A, ko se zbudi, in miši nič ni. ' pa mleka zaprosi. In prosi in toži: “Sem lačen, mjav-mjav, sem miške prihranil, da vam bi jih dal. Vincent Ilovar, društvo št. 155 ABZ. 19716 Arrowhead Ave. CLEVELAND, O. DEAR EDITORS: Spring is already here and soon the delegates will be off to the Fourth Juvenile convention. So, try your best, and you’ll be off to a beautiful stay in Ely. I am sure that my sister Anne, who was a former delegate to the Second Athletic Conference will not forget her stay in Ely. From onr lodge, Eddie Hrvatin, son of our lodge president, is a candidate. I wish him all the luck possible. He, as well as the other delegates, should all be proud to be the first to go to a convention under our new name—American Fraternal Union. I THINK IT WILL BE EASIER TO GET NEW MEMBERS SINCE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVŽ AN EARLIER CHANCE OF BEING MEMBERS BECAUSE OF IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS. March is here, and my little sister, Bernice, will celebrate her 8th birthday •on the 31st of March. I hope the juveniles and members will join with me in wishing her a happy birthday. April will soon be here which will also bring Easter. But best of all is that 09 or 316 E. Sheridan St. ELY, MINNESOTA DEAR EDITOR: It has been a long time since I wrote to the Nova Doba so I decided to wr\te now and am going to write at least once a month. • Words cannot describe the feeling I got when I had at last qualified as a delegate. The efforts of a delegate are not in vain for he receives much in return for his work. The trip to Ely alone is worth his effort and I’m sure no one would want to miss this convention. I want to thank my father for the help that he gave me in qualifying. I also want to thank Mr. Rogelj, our fine supreme president for. the letter he sent me congratulating me on being a delegate. Lodge No. 1 of Ely is setting the pace of qualifying delegates. Come on let’s see the rest of the lodges bear down hard and qualify some delegates. The Ely High School basketball team, one of the favorites to take the district basketball tournament held at Virginia was upset by the Eveleth Hill-toppers. But those things just have to happen some time and this time Ely was the victim. 1 Well, therfe’s always next year anyhow. I guess there’s nothing more to write about so I’ll close. Robert Zbasnik Lodge No. 1, AFU MEADOW LANDS, PA. DEAR EDITOR: % This is my first letter to Nova Doba. But first let me introduce myself. I am 16 ye»rs old and have three younger brothers. I go to Chartiers High School. The reason for me writing this letter is that I know most of the reporters from Strabane and just couldn't bear to see them writing letters and me not. All the members of our family and most all of my relations belg to the AFU 232. My father Matthew Zofch|k, who has rfone a great deal for this lodge is the secretary and helped to organise it. He wishes to succeed in going to the New Name Campaign and I sure hope he succeeds. So you see we are 100 per cent members of the AFU. Right now they seem to be having trouble trying to get some of the members to appear ijfr- their meetings, So may I say this. That all the members , belonging to Lodge No. 232 cooperate and appear at the meetings regularly for your own sake. In reading the Nova Doba I enjoy mostly the Juvenile Page because of the unusual and interesting articles. I hope the delegates in this New Name Campaign succeed and win the trip to Ely, Minnesota and the Fourth Juvenile Convention. Donald Zofchak Lodge 232 AFU Delegates to the Third Juvenile Con- j vention and Second Athletic Conference will remember this scene taken at the gala picnic — climax of the big , event of 1939 at Ely, Minnesota. Pictured is Miimesota’s Governor Harold E., ! Stassen meeting Jimmy “Muggsy” Klo-buchar, a juvenile delegate from Lodge No. i. — You can participate in this I coming AFU affair by qualifying as del-j egate to the Fourth Juvenile Conven-i tion in Ely, Minn, next August. Iz urada glavnega blagajnika ABZ Od 1. januarja, 1941 naprej naša organizacija ne posluje več pod imenom Jugoslovanska katoliška jednota ali v angleščini South Slavonic Catholic Union. Letos poslujemo le pod imenom Ameriška bratska zveza ali American Fraternal Union. To je bilo sporočeno iz glavnega urada vsem društvom, da naj po novem letu rabijo novo ime na vseh denarnih nakaznicah, ko pošiljajo asesment na glavnega blagajnika. Toda tega ne izpolnujejo vsa naša društva. Nekaj društev še vedno vporablja staro ime na denarnih nakaznicah, bančnjh draftih, Money Orders, itd. Nekateri celo naslovijo denarno nakaznico kar na ime: Louis Champa. Vse to je nepravilno ter tudi pro£i našim pravilom. Take napake in nepravilnosti povzročajo precej dela in gotovih zamud. Zato ste vsi društveni blagajniki, odnosno tajniki prošeni, da naslovite vsa izplačila na našo Zvezo, bodisi čeki, bančni drafti ali Money Order takole: AMERICAN FR AT E RNAL UNION. Tako je naše sedanje ime, zato, prosim, opoštevajte moje navodilo. Po novem sistemu dobivajo sedaj društva iz glavnega urada takozvane Credit Memorandums, mesto prejšnih čekov, s katerimi se je plačevalo za preiskave novih članov, za nagrade za nove člane, itd. Zapomnite si, da ti Credit Memorandums imajo isto veljavo kot bi bili čeki, kadar so podpisani od društvenega blagajnika ter poslani na glavni urad kot del mesečnega asesmenta. Dostikrat sprejmem tak Credit Memorandum, ki ni podpisan. Prosim, podpišite jih v bodoče. Dosti društvenih tajnikov ali blagajnikov izmenja ali vnovči članske čeke, ki so jih prejeli od Zveze, toda niso podpisani od člana ali članice, na katerega ime je bil ček nakazan. Vselej zahtevajte, da član podpiše ček, potem ga še le izmenjajte. Taki čeki prihajajo z asesmentom na glavnega blagajnika ter mu delajo dovolj sitnosti. V vsakem slučaju moram tak nepodpisan ček poslati nazaj društvenemu blagajniku, da ga član podpiše. Še druge napake se dogajajo, ki se tudi lahko popravijo z malo pažnjo. Naprimer, da je'ček napravljen na ime: Mary Boga-tich. Ona izmenja ček pri društvenem tajniku, a na zadnji strani čeka podpiše svoje ime takole: Mrs. George Bogatich. Tak podpis je nepravilen; podpis mora biti prav tak, kot je na naslovni strani čeka, namreč: Mary Bogatich. V vsakem takem slučaju sem primoran, da vrnem ček društvu v pravilen podpis. To povzroči dosti nepotrebnega dela stroške Zvezi in društvu, posebno pa še precejšno zamudo časa. Pri Zvezi imamo še nekaj društev, ki prepozno pošiljajo svoj asesment na glavnega blagajnika. Naša pravil,a pravijo, da asesment ne sme biti pozneje v glavnem uradu kot vsakega 5. dne v prihodnjem mesecu. Nerad bi še do danes objavil imena in številke tistih društev, ako pa se bo to nadaljevalo, bom primoran to storiti. Društveni uradniki ste prošeni, da opoštevate navedena navodila. S tem bo prihranjenih nekaj stroškov in dosti na času. Tudi v glavnem uradu se bo lažje delalo in vknjiževalo poslane asesmente. Kar vas prosim je to: Vabim vas na sodelovanje. Z bratskim pozdravom, Louis Champa, glavni blagajnik ABZ. cagu, Ul. Zborovanju bo sledil zabavni program, tekom katerega bo nastopil kot govornik j glavni tajnik Anton Zbašnik.

(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) V Zedinjenih državah, z iz-I jemo južnih in pacifičnih držav, ! so navadno pomladi pozne in hladne, nakar nagloma nastopi vroče poletje. Take vremenske ! prilike niso ugodne za posetev | enoletnih poletnih cvetlic na I prosto, ampak je najbolj pri-; poročljivo jih kupiti od vrtnarjev, ki so jih vzgojili pod ste-' klom, ter jih posaditi na prosto že odraščene, ko se vreme dovolj ogreje. Naravnost na mesto , pa naj se seje semena takih I cvetlic, ki jih je težko presajati, kakor so sladki grah, resedica, slak, navadni mak in californij-slci Vnak.

THIS IN ITSELF IS WORTH YOUR MONEY TO ATTEND. Perhaps some of you enthusiastic bowlers have been wondering about victuals, etc. Re freshments will be served at the tournament, but the most important is the banquet to be held on April 20th in the Slovene Hall at which time the awards will be presented to the champs. The banquet is to be ably prepared under the direction of Paul Klun and Mrs. Mary Bo-dack who have promised a mouth-watering fresh ham dinner. And if past reputations are to be considered, it should be very delicious. The price of the meal will shrink your purse by only 50-cents which must be paid with your entry fees. IF ANY AFU MEMBERS ARE NOT ENTERED IN THE TOURNAMENT BUT WISH TO ATTEND TJIE BANQUET PLEASE MAKE YOUR INTENTIONS KNOWN TO EITHER MR. KLUN OR MRS. BODACK. As a consolation p-rize, each bowler will receive a wonderful souvenir of the Seventh Annual National Tournament whether you make strikes or spares, or throw gutter balls. Finally let me remind all the lodges to send their entries along with the entry fees not later than April 12th to Chairman L. P. Boberg, 5421 Carnegie Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.

This year will prove no exception as Bro. Vertin promises the best of food—prepared the way you like it. (How’s that for a send-off—Matt?—Ed.) All members of the basketball and bowling teams are urged to attend but first are asked to obtain their “FREE” tickets from the secretary. Lodge officers are included in this as they were last year. The basketball boys are requested to turn in their uniforms when they get their ticket for the banquet. Let’s all get together and help Lodge Slovenec maintain this fast pace of activity. Joseph Milkovich, sec’y Lodge 114, AFU. Cleveland, O. — Dear Members of our Lodge, Collinwood Boosters, No. 188, AFU: — For the past few months the attendance at meetings has been very lax. If our lodge is to be represented in any of the planned sports activities for 1941, please attend so that with your assistance, the officers can make definite arrangements. You have read in the New Era that the National Bowling tournament will be held this year at Indianapolis, Ind., on May 9, 10, and 11. All members wishing to participate are asked to get in touch with Tony (Ham) Laurich or me. Those who cannot bowl can go as rooters. It £as not been decided whether the trip will be made by train or bus. The fare will be low, so let’s all get together for a grand time in Indianapolis. I can assure you an enjoyable time as Lefty Milharčič gave us the “Come on!” sign when their busload of young people was here last year. Will those planning to go please get in touch with the above mentioned members. At our last meeting we had as our guest, Elsie Desmond, Queen of Ljubljana and news writer for some of our local papers. Also present was Little Stan, editor of this page. The meeting adjourned about 11 p. m., after which the Misses Desmond and Struna, Mrs. Rose Struna, Little Stan, John (Tros-ky) Urbančič, and the writer went to the Royal Casino and had -some Wimpies. We then stopped at my mother’s to get the “dictator” — Jo-Jo, jr., and proceeded to my place where we discussed actors, politics, and what not until — well, it was pretty late. Everyone had an enjoyable evening. This- concludes my news casting, and I’ll be waiting to see all of you at our next meeting, April 18th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Laurich, mother and father of our secretary, Tony (Ham) Laurich.

First one was Mrs. Agnes Tomsich. For human interest you can’t beat the Startz family combination. Recently they lost their dear father. Brother Joe volunteered in Uncle Sam’s Conscription Army. To make things bright and happy for a real American Fraternal Union Family, Mrs. Startz and her two daughters went out and qualified as delegates to our Fourth Juvenile Convention. And let Little Stan tell you, this is going to be a real “family” affair! Congratulations to the. Startz family!

Desmond Cleveland, O. — New Name Campaign ... Duckpin Tournament ... Tenpin tournament ., that is all about you hear these | days. And it is very true. Soon the Duckpin tournament will take place April 19 and 20 at the Lawrence Recreation, Pittsburgh, Pa. This is the first great AFU event. I am honored by reports from Mr. Kress’s I article that I am to be one of the guests at the Duckpin tournament and I am indebted to the committee. Now I certainly have hopes of meeting more AFU’ers in Pittsburgh the 19 and 20 of April. The Seventh Annual Tenpin tournament to take place in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 9 and 11 is the next big event. Lodge No. 45 certainly seems to be working hard and diligently for all the plans. And the reporters; they’re doing a wonderful job, by writing articles in every week and encouraging more members to form teams and send in applications, hoping that many people will attend the affair. I also have hopes of attending the Tenpin tournament, but I don’t know as yet. Did you all read Little Stan’s article? Concerning the folks from Cleveland, Struthers, Lorain, Barberton, Penna. and N. Y., they would all fake busses, say we could all meet in Cleveland. The neighboring towns could drive to Cleveland, park their cars and take the bus to Indianapolis. Well, a meeting will soon be called to discuss the tournament. As you all know the New Name Campaign is the tops of events for the American Fraternal Union. Reports show that there are only 86 active lodges. There could be more, I’m sure. What about it officers ? And only 42 members candidates? Why, that’s absurd! The theme should be; “Beat me, members “Right to Ely” not “Beat me, daddy ‘Eight to the Bar.’ ” There are still three more months to work in and I’m sure by that time there will be more candidates and more delegates. It’s very pleasing to read that Mayor Kapsch will present the keys to the city to all qualified delegates. Now isn’t that something! Why now I must even work harder — come on Mom, let’s go out for members tonight again. Sure, it does take time, but when you receive your certificate announcing you as delegate to the Fourth Juvenile Convention, won’t you be the happiest person? You bet you will be. Hearing about some of the plans and other things, I’m getting to be so encouraged that I’ll work and work until 1 get all my points. That’s how we should all feel and then we’d get somewhere. Well, most of the members who really want to attend the convention do feel that way. Get right to work, Slovenec Lodge 114, AFU of Ely, Minn., Qualifies One Honorary and One Juvenile Delegate! (Special Dispatch From Home Office) Ely, Minn. — Sensational New Name Campaign news is being made and features the headlines this week as news broke that Lodge Slovenec, AFU No. 114 of Ely, Minn., had qualified Mrs. Agatha Glavan, wife of the president of the lodge, as honorary delegate and cute Miss Elizabeth Toljan, little grand-daughter of Mrs. Glavan as regular juvenile delegate LITTLE STAN’S ARTICLE (Continued from page 5) ate on them next week. Was all set to do that this week, but a wire from home cut down enthusiasm like a knife. * * * The wire came from Little A1 — Little Stan’s brother — who advised that my dear brother-in-law, Edward Richards, had passed away following an emergency operation. Which news came as a sore blow —^smiting away that previous joyful feeling, and causing a wave of deep sadness. For Young Ed Richards was a real brother-in-law. Surviving are his wife, Mary — Stan’s sister, and Little Rosemary, who just learned to walk on her mother’s birthday last January. Their’s had been a happy home, and with the suddenness that comes along with the grim hand of fate, a life was taken away. ❖ * * Had thought first to drop everything and go home to the family, but Bro. Terbovec is also recuperating in the hospital from a minor operation, and Little Stan is alone at the office. This made it impossible for him to attend the burial rites. — And dear members, it makes it difficult to keep on writing— ' STRABANES JOE KRULCE COPS . SINGLES BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP New Champ Was Charter Member of AFU’s Former Sentinel Lodge By Big Stan Progar Strabane, Pa. — He was only Joe Krulce, that is, up till Friday, March 14th. Only Plain Joe Kruce, the big brother of Rudy Krulce who was a charter member of the Sentinels. Yes, plain Joe and one of the more popular of the Strabane boys who graced you with a friendly smile if you hailed him with “Hiya Skinny” or “Hi Pete Hot.” Just two of the favorite nicknames that he was dubbed with by his many friends. But Friday, March 14th, Joe Krulce became one of the qualifiers for the Washington County singles bowling championship. He was the only Strabane lad that accomplished this feat and one of the seven out of Washington County bowlers numbering one hundred and fifty that vied for the honor of meeting the 1940 champion in the championship roll-offs. The roll-offs \frere scheduled for Saturday, March 15th and when the appointed time arrived, Joe Krulce, now the qualifier, arrived at the Elk’s alleys, the scene of the championship tussle. His host of friends were there, ready to cheer him on and at this point, Joe was not only the lone qualifier from Strabane but also the most popular bowler ready to toe the line. BUT JOE DIDN’T STOP HERE ... He went on to become not only Joe the qualifier but Joe Krulce, THE WASHINGTON COUNTY SINGLES CHAMPION! From the outset, the new champion displayed form and coolness worthy of any title holder. And considering the competition that he faced in the roll-offs, the sport fans of Washington County take their hats off to Joe — A true champion — one that never faltered the least bit and one that captured not only the crown but also the plaudits of every one present, including the supporters of the vanquished. Facing Joe Krulce the champion round were seven of the best in Washington County Heading the list was Bobby Roach, defending his crown and a very good bowler. The 1940 champion was followed by one of his team mates of the Canonsburg city league, a topnotch bowler and the leading baseball manager of the district, Steve Gall. Also from Canonsburg were Joe Lesko another top-notcher and the high scorer of the qualifiers,Tom Beddle and Frank Miller, both among the local leaders. Bidding for the crown from Washington were two of Washington’s best in Frank King who qualified for the 1940 roll-offs and repeated this year and Bill Carter, manager of the Carter’s Colts of the Metropolitan league. In the first round, the four ■ lowest scores were to be elimin- 1 ated and at the end of the three games, Bobby Roach, Steve ' Gall, Joe Krulce and Frank Miller survived, rolling respective- < ly in total pins, 521, 524, 519 and 509. ’In the second round i the eligibles were again cut in ' two with Steve Gall and Joe Krulce still in with identical ' scores of 554. ] In the final roll-offs, Joe Krulce opened with a 192 to Gall’s 163 to lead the popular Steve by 29 pins. In the seconc game, Joe relaxed somewhat and Gall took the game 167 to 155, clipping Joe’s lead to/ 17 pins. With a lead of 17 pins, Joe Krulce proved his championship merits by going on the defense and matching Steve Gal frame for frame. Joe was contented to duplicate Gall’s efforts and as the game ended the score board showed Gall’s 174 matched by Krulce’s 172 and gave Strabane the Washing ton County Singles Championship by 15 pins. Before the final frame was completed there was no doubt in the minds of the Strabane fans as to the outcome of the match and the Elk’s alleys shook with the frenzied yells of “Hot’s hot” and “Yea Pete.” And as Joe O’Brien, the genial Canonsburg sports editor awarded the trophy to Joe Krulce, the new champipn was high in the clouds, sitting atop the shoulders of his victory-crazed Strabane friends and rooters. Statistics show that in winning his championship, Joe Krulce rolled a total of 2362 pins in 13 games for the series average of 181%. In the four games to qualify, Joe hit 770 to average 19XV2 and in the rolloffs he collected 1592 pins in 9 games to average 177. Truly championship form so hats off to Joe Krulce—the Champion. Strabane is mighty proud of him . . . r Stan Progar members and if you work hard, you will receive your prize—a trip to Ely, Minn., as a delegate and all expenses paid and you’ll have the grandest time of your life! “GO TO WORK FOR YOUR MEMBERS! ENROLL. THEM NOW! Although many members ofj the Collinwood Boosters did not | attend the meeting, the few that were there enjoyed it. Joe Struna opened the meeting. Little Stan was the guest. Most of the time was spent in conversation. Listened to the Louis-Simon fight, and heard Referee Hen-nessy stop the fight in the 13th round because Simon had been beat so much by Louis, that Louis won by a technical knockout. Stopped in for hamburgers at 5-Points. Then over to Mrs. Struna’s liome, to pick up baby Jo-Jo, son of Joe Struna. Grandma Struna was taking care of him. After baby did some jitter-bugging and standing on his head we left for Joe Struna’s home where our conversation was interesting. Hey, Mom, what time was it that I was brought home? Oh, well, I was very tired and didn’t even look at the time. But we all had ^ swell time. Included were: Little Stan, Mr. and Mrs. Struna, Mr. and Mrs. T. Laurich, Miss Alice Struna, and “Trosky” Urbančič. Collinwood Booster members are wondering when Louis Starman, their baseball player will announce the date for his marriage to Miss Frances Kerne of Hecker Avenue ... Mrs. Helen Pretekel, wife of “Beany,” member of Napredek underwent an operation at Mt. Sinai Hospi tal on March 20. All the members and friends wish you speedy recover, Helen... And our Editor, Mr. Anton Terbovec was confined to St. Alexis Hospital for an operation also on March 19. Mr. Rogelj will be at the office to work on the paper. Mr. Terbovec, we, the members, hope sincerely that you will be back with us, very soon. We want to see you behind the desk again—in fine health. So a very speedy recovery, Mr. Terbovec. Important meeting! The American Fraternal Union United Lodges of Cleveland will hold a very important meeting on April 1 (this is no fooling either) at the Nova Doba office.

Zefran Morticians Back; Retake Lead In Chicago AFU Bowling League Chicago, 111. — Winning two games from the Maryton Cafe on March 21, the Zefran Morticians moved back to re-occupy top spot in the Chicago AFU Bowling League. Louis Zefran of the Morticians surely did some extra fine bowling, getting a high game of 214 and a series of 560. On the other hand, the leading Wencel Dairy lost two games 1jo the Gottlieb Florists and by the defeat dropped out of first place by the slender margin of one game. So it looks like the last game of the season will decide who will be the champions. This is scheduled Friday night! Captain Dolmoyich rolled a neat series of 547 and a high game of 190 for the Florists. Captain Tony Kovacic was high for the Dairy team with a 507 series, and high single game of 185. Friday, March 28th, will wind up our bowling league schedule of Chicago AFU lodges, but we will hold our sweepstakes on the following Friday, April 4th. Come out you bowling fans— next Friday—and see the finals! With Best of luck and may the best team win! Louis Dolmovich, Jr. Athletic Supervisor Lodge 70, AFU Safety In Traffic Fatal accidents to pedestrians have increased to alarming proportions during the month of January, 1941. Motorists have become accustomed to violating the rights of the pedestrians in the past to the point that the only defense the pedestrian has is to concede the right of way to approaching vehicles either by not stepping into the street or by having to jump or run out of the path of vehicles that seem to gain speed on the fleeing pedestrian. In three of 1941’s fatal accide n t s, pedestrians have been within three or four steps of the curb they were approaching when run down by the driver. Section 2423 of the Traffic Code of the City of Cleveland states: The driver of any vehicle shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at the end of a block, except at intersections where the movement of traffic is being regulated by police officers or traffic control signals or at any point where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead crossing has been provided. This law makes it a violation for a motorist to fail to yield the right of way to a pedestrian who is in the lawful and proper use of the crosswalk. The motorist must learn that one of the primary requisites of traffic safety* is consideration for the other fellow. If everyone will remember these rules Cleveland will become a better and safer place in which to live. \ to the Fourth Juvenile Convention ! Supreme Secretary A n ton Zbasnik, immediately dispatched a letter to the qualified candidates and to their sponsors, Lodge 114, John Glavan, president, and Joseph Milkovich, secretary. Congratulations to you all! THERE ARE NOW SIX QUALIFIED REGULAR DELEGATES AND THREE HONORARY DELEGATES; WHO WILL BE NEXT! Lodge 28 Kemmerer, Wyo. — At the regular meeting of Lodge 28, AFU, held March 16th, members decided by voting to levy a special lodge assessment for the months of April and May. Amount wil be 25 cents per member which will go into the lodge treasury. Our lodge treasury is depleted. So that lodge members will understand, this is not an increase in your regular assessment, but just extra funds to build up our lodge treasury. I ask the^ members to please understand and consider this, because you well know that 110 lodge can operate without a treasury, and there is expense in connection with carrying on the lodge work and activity. At the meeting it was also decided that every member will pay 15 cents which will go toward the purchase of flowers for deceased members. This sum is to be paid when any of our members pass away. It is not allowed to have this money with our lodge treasury funds, as has been the practice up to the present time. I urge and hope that all members of the lodge will make it a point to attend the next regular meeting 011 April 20, at 2 p. m. at the regular quarters. At this meeting there are several important matters to be considered that we must decide upon. Everybody is urged to come so that following any action taken there will not be any criticism to the effect that only a few members took certain actions. Everyone has a right to participate and attend each meeting. That is why you must attend, so that we can do work beneficial to our lodge and the American Fraternal Union.

Immigrant Population Featured in March of Time The millions of people who have come from many lands to find freedom, opportunity, and a better way of lif6 in America compose the cast of the latest March of Time film, “Americans All!” This newest March of Time, which reveals that almost forty million people have flocked to U. S. shores during the past century, shows how the foreign-born and the children of the foreign-born have contributed greatly toward building this nation and making it the World’s greatest democracy. Living up to its well-established reputation for timeliness, the new March of Time also reveals the many ways in which the five million U. S. immigrants are today working and striving to preserve and defend their adopted land. Into the building of America has gone the blood and sweat, the talent^and skill of generations of immigrants who paved its streets and highways, built its skyscrapers and subways, raised its bridges, dug its tunnels, and spanned the continent with a network pf rails, The March of Time film shows. High in the councils of the nation today are many men who came to the U. S. as immigrants—men like Welsh-born U. S. Senator James J. Davis, German-born Robert F. Wagner, Austrian-born Justice Felix Frankfurter, Hussian-born Sidney Hillman, and Danish-born William S. Knudsen. In the film also appears Louis Adamic; Slovene-born American writer, whose last book, “From Many Lands” is being widely commented upon. In the midst of an intense speed-up in national defense building, some Americans have begun to question thie loyalty of certain groups oi foreign-born people in the American community, the March of Time film points out. However,'the nation’s leaders are already acquainted with the sn^lj group? that comprise tjie U, S, Fifth Column, and the overwhelming majority of the foreigners in the U. S. who have'not yet become citizens are nevertheless steadfast in their loyalty and demotion to America. DOPISI x . Export, Pa. — članstvo društvu št. 138 ABZ obveščam, da je bilo sklenjeno, da se naša prihodnja seja vrši prvo nedeljo, to je 6. aprila. Seja je bila prestavljena zato, ker bo 13. aprila velikonočna nedelja. Člani naj torej upoštevajo, da se naša prihodnja seja vrši v nedeljo 6. aprila. Želeti je, da se omenjene seje člani in članice udeležijo kar mogoče polnoštevilno. Kot znano, bomo 4. julija Obhajali društveno 20-letnico, zato se moramo takoj lotiti pripravljalnega dela. Teh par mesecev bo takoj preteklo. Člani naj pridejo ne samo na prihodnio sejo, ampak tudi na vse nadaljne seje, ki se bodo vršile pred našim piknikom. Društveni odbor ne more vsega sam urediti* ampak po-| trebuje pomoči od vsega ostalega članstva. In prav je, da za tako priliko sodelujejo vsi člani in članice, saj se gre za ugledv in korist vsega društva Sosedna bratska društva naj bi upoštevala, da bo naše društvo v proslavo 20-letnice priredilo velik piknik na dan 4. julija, ter naj ne bi na omenjeni dan prirejala svojih veselic ali piknikov. — Za društvo št, 138 ABZ: Frank Kužnik, tajnik, E Ig, Minn. — Na seji društva Sv. Srca Jezusa, št. 2 ABZ, ki sr je vršila 9. marca, sta bila ime novanu dva kandidata za dele gata za 4. mladinsko konvencijo. In sicer je bil Lenard Pe-i rušek imenovan za kandidata \ za redno deiegatstvo, Frank | Shipel, Jr., pa za kandidata za častno deiegatstvo. Upam, da bosta oba uspešna. Seje našega društva se vršijo vsako drugo nedeljo v mesecu ob 7. uri zvečer v spodnjih prostorih (kleti) J. N. Doma. Po- ^ I j prej so se seje pričenjale ob 4. , i uri popoldne in je bil pri mno-! gih izgovor, da čas ni pripraven, ter se niso udeleževali sej. ,! Vsled tega je bilo sklenjeno, I da se naše seje pričenjajo ob 7. uri zvečer. Posebno naš glav-, ni blagajnik Louis Champa se , je toplo zavzemal, da bi se seje pričenjale ob 7. uri zvečer. , Toda takoj prvo sejo sta bila , on in njegova soproga za polnih , 20 minut prepozna. Ta prestopek ga bo stal en sodček piva. . i Prav za prav je bil v tem smislu 1 stavljen predlog in stoprocent-no podpiran. To pomeni, da drži. Člani in članice so vabljeni, da se v polnem številu udeležijo prihodnje seje, da po seji tisti sodček izpraznemo. Ne bi bilo prav, če bi se kaj pokvarilo. Sobratu Champi pa priporočam, naj pazi, da ne bo spet prepozen, ker drugič bi utegnila biti kazen še večja. — Bratski pozdrav! J. Mehle, zapisnikar dr. št. 2 ABZ.

Imeli smo mrzel dan in vihar 18. novembra, 1940. Potem je bilo šg precej dobro vreme. Dne 16. marca ob drugi uri zjutraj pa je pričel pihati silen in močan veter, ki je bil dosti močnejši kot 18. novembra. Na Superior jezeru 1 je vihar potopil več parnikov. 1 Vihar je bil tako močan, da je 1 bil promet v mestu Duluth za 1 nekaj ur ustavljen in mesto je ' bilo odrezano za nekaj časa od s ostalega sveta. Močni veter je f napravil veliko škode na izlož- 1 benih oknih, ker je veter po- s škodoval steklo v oknih. 1 V St. Mary bolnišnici je po- ' leg drugih naših rojakov tudi 1 sobrat Frank Hren, član dru- * štva št. 30, Chisholm, Minn., 1 ‘kjer čaka na operacijo.

Včasih se že malo podam ven iz mesta Dulutha Matija Pogorelc. , Denver, Colo. — Kakor je bilo že omenjeno v prejšnih izdajah našega glasila, se bo vršilo redno zborovanje coloradske federacije na 30. marca, in sicer se prične zborovanje ob deveti uri zjutraj v Slovenskem domu. j Pričakujemo, da bodo vsa dru-j štva, spadajoča k federaciji, po-j slalo svoje zastopnike. Tudi ona društva, katera še ne spadajo k federaciji, so prošena, da pošljejo svoje zastopnike, da se prepričajo, kako posluje naša| federacija. Naša coloradska fe-j deraci ja je že dosti dobi ega sto-; rila* za društva in za našo Ame-1 riško bratsko zvezo. Upam, da. bodo zastopniki prinesli dobra j poročila o sedanji kampanji, j • Morebiti bo za časa našega zbo- j rovanja že nekaj delegatov kvalificiralo za prihodnjo mladinsko konvencijo. Veselica, ki bi se morala vr- t šiti na večer pred zborovanjem, se ne bo vršila radi važnih vzrokov. Prosim pa, da nam naznanite vsi tisti, ki pridete že v j soboto zvečer, da vam preskrbimo prenočišče. Sporočite nam, j ako pridete z avtomobilom ali z železnico. Katerim je znano • mesto Denver, naj pridejo di-jrektno na 4468 Washington St., v Slovenski dom. Vsi tisti, ki potujete iz Trinidada, Boncar-bo, Walsenburga in Pu^blo, vza-mite Colorado and Southern Zephyr vlak, ki pride v Denver ob 7:45 zjutraj.

Društvena blagajna je precej izčrpana. Da bodo člani to razumeli, to ni :: viša nje asesmenta, ampak samo naklada, ki se plača v društveno blagajno. Prosim člane, da to upoštevate, ker sami veste, da nobeno društvo ne more shajati brez blagajne in da ; so pri društvu vedno kaki stroški. > Na seji je bilo tudi sklenjeno, da ob smrti člana, plača vsak član 15 centov,, da se kupi rože ali venec umrlemu članu, Sedaj se ne bo smelo jemati ta j denar iz društvene blagajne, kol se je to delalo do sedaj. Opominjam vse člane našega društva da se mnogoštevilno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila ^ na dan 20. aprila, ob drugi uri , popoldne v navadnih prostorih. ' Na tej seji imamo na dnevnem redu rešiti vprašanja, katera moramo rešiti. Pridite vsi, da potem ne bo kritike, da samo j1 malo število članov odločuje pri ' društvu. Vsi imamo enake pra-j vice in dolžnosti, zato res pridite, da napravimo kaj dobrega j za naše, društvo in Ameriško, ifhitslfo zvezo. — Z bratskim • pozdravom: Frank Krusich, tajnik dr. št. 28.1 Sharon, Pa. — Društvo Sloga, številka 174 ABZ je zaključilo na glavni seji meseca, decembra, da se v letu 1941 praznuje 15-letnico. Društvenemu odboru so naročili, da naj razmotriva, kdaj bi bil najbolj priličen čas za to proslavo. Odbor je šel na delo ter na zadnji seji v mesecu marcu poročal, da se društveno 15-letnico obhaja na večer 9. avgusta v Slovenskem narodnem domu v Sharo-nu. Proslava se bo vršila z banketom. Sklenjeno je bilo, da mora vsak član vzeti eno vstopnico za 50 centov, katero se bo pripisalo k rednemu asesmen-; tu. Vstopnice se bodo oddajale i že mesecu juniju in juliju, da bo imel vsak priliko vstopnico j plačati. Izvzeti so samo oni čla- j ni, ki bi bili na bolniški listini | 9. avgusta. Vstopnico morajo i plačati vsi drugi člani brez iz-; jeme. Program za to proslavo bo; objavljen v Novi Dobi. Prosi se; vsa društva naših podpornih or- j ganizacij, da bi lie prirejali svojih prireditev na soboto večer,, 9. avgusta. Mislim društva v naši okolici. Apeliram ha vse člane, da se redno udeležujejo naših sej, ker bo potreba kaj do-[ brega ukreniti za našo proslavo in vsak nasvet bo dober. Zato delajmo skupno, da bomo dobro uspeli. Frank Kramar. 'I TT V ] Giranl, Ohio. — Hočem vam | poročati o tem in onem z naše ! društvene seje, društva Lincoln, !št. 108 ABZ, ki se je završila ■ dne 16. marca ob lepem številu ■ j navzočih članov. Da, to je pa res | lepo, ko pride na sejo toliko čla-j nov in članic. Da bi bila vsaka i društvena seja tako obiskana. ; čimveč nas pride na sejo, toli-; ko več lahko storimo dobrega za naše društvo in Ameriško brat-j sko zvezo. Nič za to, če- malo i zavlečemo in stavimo več predlogov, glavno je to, da najbolj-še predloge sprejmemo, ki so v j našo korist. Predlagana sta bila : tudi dva nova kandiata. Kaj takega bi se moglo izgoditi vsako sejo, pa bi naše društvo štelo ! sto članov v odraslem oddelku koncem leta. Poglejmo tudi za ' mladino ter jo vpišimo v mladinski oddelek, ki jih že sedaj šteje lepo število, in če jih do-I bimo se kaj več, še boljše bo za j društvo. Na seji se je tudi prečitalo ' | račune od zadnje društvene ve-1 selice, katera se je završila na ' dan 22. febraarja, in katero sta tudi obiskala glavni predsednik, 1 sobrat Janko N. Rogelj in ured-' nik angleške sekcije Nove Do- I be sobrat Stan Pechaver—Little Stan. Skupni dohodki so bi- ' li. $167.20, a stroški* $103.33, zakar se je nsša društvena bla-'Igajna povišala za $63.87. j Predložene bolniške nakaznici ce in LV.lepanje o bolniški pod-j j pori je pri nas precej zavleklo / društveno sejo. Temu je krivo -1 nespoznanje zvezinili pravilih od i: strani posameznih članov. Če - j pride društvenemu tajniku alt i tajnici v roke nepravilno izpol- - n ona Oolniška nakaznica , se' pač - j ne more drugega storiti, kakor ?. i ravnati po pravilih, ki so enaka i S za vse člane ali članice. Zato bi .. j res priporočal, da naj vsak č5-a I ta naša pravila, da se bo znal II ravnati po njih, ko bo bolan. '; Članstvo je tudi odglasovalo L' na ^eji, da letos priredimo pik-!> nik v Avon parku v Girardu. ' Datum tega piknika bomo objavili od časa do časa v Novi ^ Dobi. Ker smo spremenili društve-no ime, dobimo no- čarter. Sedanji čarter nosi ime in sedež društva v Youngstown, Ohio. Tam je bilo društvo št. 108 ustanovljeno in zborovalo do leta 1917. Nato se je preselilo v Slovenski dom v Girard, Ohio, kjer jo zborovalo do leta 1935. Potem smo šle nazaj v Youngstown. Tam smo zborovali šest mesecev. Zaradi srlabe udeležbe smo se selili nazaj v Avon Park, Giraro. kjer še danes zborujemo. Ta. selitev materinski dan. Toda ker niso mogle dobiti prostora, kjer bi imeli tudi kaj za suha grla, so zaenkrat opustile nameravano veselico. Obenem sporočam da je tudi naše društvo govorilo na seji radi točke 324 naših pravil, ki se tiče radi bolniške podpore. Društvo se strinja s številko 124 ABZ v La Salle, 111. Obenem naj še sporočam vsem članom in članicam našega društva št. 116 ABZ, da je bilo sklenjeno na zadnji redni seji dne 14. marca, da vsak enakopraven član ali članica plača en dolar v društveno blagajno, in sicer za mesec april 50 centov in za mesec maj 50 centov, člani, ki so zavarovani samo za smrtnino, plačajo v mesecu aprilu 25 centov in v mesecu maju 25 centov. Tak je bil :• in tajnik ga mora opoštevati. To naj bo v naznanilo vsem, da ne bo kritike, da je že zopet naklada. Veselic Članstvo tako noče, denar pa mora priti od nekod za društvene stroške. Jurij Prevec, tajnik. Chicago, lil. — Chicaška dru-1 štva Ameriške bratske zveze se 1 pridno pripravljajo za sejo in : veselico naše federacije, ki se bo vršila dne 20. aprila, 1941 v j American Bohemian dvorani na osemnajsti cesti blizu Blue Island Ave. Seja se bo vršila pri bratu Golenku na Blue Island Ave. in Paulina Ave. ob 9:30 zjutraj. Veselica pa se bo pričela v preje omenjeni dvo- j rani ob 3:30 popoldne. Zastop- j nike društev vabim, da se ob ' pravem času udeležijo seje, splošno članstvo in ostalo občinstvo pa vabim, da se v velikem številu in pravočano udeleže naše veselice. Za igro se naši diletantje že prav pridno učijo, in upam, da se bo igra vsem dopadla. Nadalje bo na programu tudi petje in godbene točke ter vodvilski komadi. Program bo velezani- j miv, ker bodo nastopili tudi profesionalci kot so Bergantove hčerke iz Lisbone, Ohio; potem Pluthovi trojčki in Edward Udovich iz Chicage. Nadalje bo nastopil tudi naš pevski zbor Prešern ter njegov kvartet. Kdor je vse to videl in slišal, se bo gotovo udeležil te predstave. Glavni slavnostni govornik bo glavni tajnik, sobrat Anton Zbašnik. Poleg njega bodo nastopili tudi nekateri federacij-ski odborniki s krajšimi govori. Po programu bo splošna zabava, ples in šaljiva pošta, da boste lahko pisali zaljubljencem in prijateljem, kar vam bo na srcu. To je včasih tudi imenitna zabava. ' Mi Chicagažani prav uljudno vabimo rojake in rojakinje iz okolice, da se te naše prireditve udeleže. Poskrbeli bomo za imenitno zabavo in vrlo dobro postrežbo. :Kadarkoli bo imela federacija'slavnost v vaših naselbinah, se bomo tudi mi dobro odzvali. * Slovenska postojanka bratske organizacije Modern Woodmen, h kateri spada tudi precej naših članov, bo imela veselico dne 19. aprila, na kateri bodo nastopile tudi Bergantove sestre. Pevsko društvo France Prešern bo imelo svoj koncert dne 27. aprila in pevsko društvo Sava pa dne 11. maja. Ker vsa ta društva z nami sodelujejo v enem ali drugem oziru, priporočam, da se njih prireditev po možnosti udeleži-| te. Pevsko društvo Sava je gfen-tlemensko preložilo svoj koncert na 11. maja, da njih koncert in naša prireditev ni prišla na 20. | aprila. rL-dto se jim tem potom v , imenu federacije prav prisrčno zahvaljujem. Priporočljivo je, da tudi v bodoče tako delamo, da bo ostalo dobro prijateljstvo med bratskimi in kulturnimi društvi, kar je v skupno korist in v boljše splošno razumevanje. Bratje in sestre, udeležimo se v kar na j več jem številu vseh zgoraj omenjenih prireditev, posebno pa i)e smemo pozabiti naše prireditve dne 20. aprila. Našo stavko pri McCormicku sem že v dveh dopisih omenil. Ta teden nimam drugega pri omeniti, kot da se stavka s polno paro nadaljuje, piketi so redno na straži in da družba do sedaj še ni poiskusila odpreti vrata, dasi so lokalni kapitalistični listi o tem že namigovali. Pogajanja se bodo v kratkem času zopet obnovila v Washingtonu, D. C. med zastopniki družbe in voditelji CIO, in sicer pod nadzorstvom vladnega delavskega odbora. Lokalna Ameriška delavska federacija, ki je prevzela nekaj ostankov razpuščene ; kompanijske unije, se usiljuje in trdi. da ima večino delavstva na evoji strani. , Dejstvo pa je, c11 mo mi od CIO zaprli tovar-; ne, da držimo stavko stoodstot-| no. Na naših sejah je poročano, da ima organizacija CIO vpiisa-nih nad 90% delavcev v McCor-mickovih tovarnah. Zato pričakujemo popolno zmago v kratkem času. Bratje Slovenci, drži- * -------------------------------------------------------- Damir Feigel: ČAROVNIK BREZ DOVOLJENJA ■■■ ■■■■■---------------------------------- gl (Nadaljevanje) Vsa zatopljena v nenavadni pojav si niti dihati nista upala. Na stolih sta klečala, slonela na komolcih in opazovala, kako vidno je rasel pred njunimi očmi ključ. Sapa jima je zaalajala. Zavedela sta se šele, ko se ključ ni več večal. A vkljub temu sta še vedno buljila oči v čarobni ključ. Iz sobe je stopila Neža. Nista je slišala, preveč ju je bila prevzela skrivnost rastočega ključa. Šele, ko se je odkašljala nad njima in s tem naznanila svojo navzočnost, sta dvignila oči in uzrla novo čudo: sestra Neža za enega in gospa Repnica za drugega je bila zapustila pritlikavske vrste in se vrnila med navadne, pravilno ustvarjene in pravilno zrasle vaščane. “Sedaj razumem vse,” je dejal Petrič in se moško postavil na stolu. “Ko sva midva gledala, kako se je večal pred nama ključek, se je istočasno večala tudi sestra Neža. To nama daje upanje, da je tudi najino pritlikavstvo le začasno.” “Dobro ste jo pogodili,” je veselo zaploskal z ročicami mojster Repič, “s tem je rešeno tudi zadnje vprašanje. Gospo naprosiva, naj nama gre s svojim dobrim denarjem k Olrajtu po vina.” “Rada grem, ko se je vsa zadeva tako dobro razrešila,” se je vdala Rupnica Repičevi prošnji in odšla v sobo po denar. Zadovoljno sta zrla prijatelja za odhajajočo vdovo. Nenadoma sta pa prasnila oba v smeh. Repič se če trudil, da bi udušil že v grlu smeh, a mu ni uspelo, hahljanja le ni mogel zatreti. Vsa začudena se je Rupnica ozrla. Pogledala je po sebi, vikni-la, smuknila v sobo in zaloputnila za sabo vrata. Opazila je bila, da ji seže krilo le nekoliko nad kolena. Kot deklici ji je pristojalo dokolensko krilce, zrela ženska se je v njem le smešila. Z njo je bilo namreč zraslo vse, le oni kos krila, ki ga je bila odrezala, ni zrasel, vsaj na njenem telesu ne. Nekoliko užaljena se je vrnila Rupnica preoblečena v kuhinjo. Glasni smeh, čeprav tudi po njenem mnenju kolikor toliko upravičen, jo je bil ozlovoljil. “Samo pol litra vama prinesem,” se je ujedala Rupnica radi prejšnjega smeha nad obema, “vem, da se celo s tem pregrešim, kajti prepovedano je dajati otrokom opojnih pijač.” “Če se boš dolgo obotavljala,” je- mirno pripomnil brat Lojze, “ se tudi midva podaljšava in nama ne bo treba več ne posojila ne strežnice.” “Kaj neki imajo pri Olrajtu?” je dejala Rupnica, ko se je vrnila z vinom. “Polna soba jih je. Od domačinov sem videla samo vašega Črneta med njimi. Julka trdi, da je delavsko društvo napravilo izlet. Tega ne morem verjeti. Prvič smo med tednom in drugič se vedejo za izletnike preresno. Izletnikov bres petja in smeha si niti predstavljati ne morem. Prej bi jim pripisala kako zborovanje.” NA DEBELO Solnce se je poslavljalo. Po široki cesti, ki je vezala Topolovec s Trato, se je vračal Črne od dela. Kovček z orodjem si je bil oprtal in veselo jo je mahal proti Trati. Gregorčevi v Topolovcu so res gostoljubni ljudje. Popravil je domači hčeri Idi šivalni stroj, materi mlinček za kavo, ki je začel že debelo mleti, dobil poleg zaslužka še pošteno malico in z Ido se je dalo ves čas tako lepo kramljati. Dekle je precej navihano, nobene ne ostaja dolžna. Zahotelo se mu je cigarete. Pogledal je na uro. Časa ,dovflj do večerje. Snel si je kovčeg, postavil ga v travo ob^cestl, sedel nanj in si začel zvijati cigareto. Večer je bil zares diven. Solnce je krvavelo. Nebo, zeleno na zapadu, se je polagoma prelivalo v temno sinjino. Tako lepih prizorov ni bil deležen, ko je delal v mestu. Kdo je vedel tedaj, da se lahko naužije človek lepote zastonj. Ob nedeljah se je res včasih vzdignil ter šel s prijatelji v kako okoličansko vas, a ko je bilo morda zunaj najlepše, so se gnetli izletniki okoli mize v zafcajeni sobi in prepevali domače pesmi, ki so se zlivale ^popevkami drugih sosednih ommizij v veletok nedeljskega navdušenja. Navadno so pa presedeli cel popoldan v kinu. • Črne je opazil od daleč kolesarja. V prijetnem brezdelju se zanima človek za vsako malenkost, za vsako izpremembo. Kolesar se je bližal počasi, ni si dal sile. Na ravni cesti se je prikazen večala. Domačin ni, domačini dirjajo, kakor bi se vedno udeleževali kake kolesarske dirke. Meščan je, po športni čepici, bela slama, črn trak z zlatim napisom: “Brzee” je spoznal člana tega društva, čigar ud je bil tudi on, Črne, skoraj dve leti. Mogoče bo kak znanec, nič se ne ve, saj jih ej bilo tedaj, vpisanih v društvu nad tri sto. Kolesar se je ustavil prav pred Črnetom. “Dober večer!,” je pozdravil. “No, koga vidim! Drejče! Kaj pa ti tukaj delaš? Nisem si mislil, da se boVa srečala po tolikem času tu v tem pustem kraju.” “Zdrav, Pavle! Tu v bližini, v Trati, sem dobil delo in jelo. V mestu mi m bilo obstanka, odkar nisem imel nobenega zaslužka več. Tudi jaz te vprašujem, kaj pa ti delaš tod okrog. Da bi bil ta kraj pust, ne morem trditi, saj sem se pravkar prav pošteno napil lepote jesenskega večera.” “Vidi se, da se ti dobro godi. Sanjač postane človek navadno v dobrih razmerah. Če ga pa tarejo skrbi, nima smisla za lepoto. Pust kakor njegova notranjost mu je ves svet.” Kolesar Pavle je naslonil kolo ob obcestni kamen in sedel poleg Črneta v travo. “Kaj nisi več v službi, Pavle? Če se ne motim in kolikor se še spominjam, si bil zaposlen v mestni elektrarni. Vsi drugi mehaniki pri zasebnih gospodarjih smo ti zavidali.. Stalna služba, neodvisnost od raznih muh svojega gospodarja, dobra pokojnina!” “Še sem v službi, a kmalu pride čas, ko nam poreko: Od tega dne naprej niste; več v občinski službi. Stalna služba — prevara, pokojnina sč skrči v odpravnino, in če ne dobiš takoj novega dela in novega zaslužka, ti izpuhti odpravnina tako rekoč med prsti, da še sam ne boš vedel kdaj.” “Saj se vendar nisi sprl z inženirjem,” je povpraševal Čeme sočutno svojega znanca in mu ponujal tobačnico, naj si napravi cigareto, hoteč ga s tem pripraviti k boljši volji. “Dobro me jpoznaš, Drejče, da nisem bil nikdar prepirač Rajši požetem krivico, če treba. Toda drugačne stvari so sedaj na vidiku in radi teh prihajam danes v Trato.” "Zelo skrivnostno govoriš, ali sem se pa jaz v tem času že tako pokmetil, da ne razumem več tvoje mestne govorice.” (Dalje prihodnjič) Ko sem prišla doino* slive cvetele in cvelice • so me pozdravljale. So bila že tako velika, da 1 nabrala za jesti.

Iskren pozdrav vsem! Joseph Oblak. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Kakor vam je že znano bo imela naša Zveza sedmo letno tekmovanje kegljačev pod vodstvom pennsylvan-ske federacije, in to na dan 19. in 20. aprila na prostorih Lawrence Recreation Alleys, na 54th and Butler St., Pittsburgh, Pa. Letos je dala.naša Zveza lepo vsoto denarja za nagrade in trofeje za zmagovalce na tej tekmi. Društvom je bilo sporočeno, kako se lahko udeležijo te kegljaške tekme, zato je J;ukaj prilika za skupine in posamezne kegljače, da si priborijo svoje nagrade in trofeje, katere bodo lahko imeli za trajen spomin za mnogo let. Na tej tekmi bo tudi nekaj posebnega, in to je kegljanje med društvom št. 40 iz Claridge, Pa. in društvom št. 26 v Pittsburghu, Pa. Tekma bo za trofejo od prejšnih let, katero ste obe društvi že vsako po dvakrat imeli v svoji posesti. Igrali bodo tri posebne tekme in katera skupina bo zmagala v teh tekmah, bo lastovala trofejo stalno. Sedaj že vsaka posamezna društvena skupina trdi, da bo ona zmagala in si priborila trofejo. Obe društvi imata izvež-bane kegljače in kakor izgleda, bo boj za to nagrado nekaj izrednega in bo zanimivo pogledati to tekmovanje. Vpisnina za tekmovanje 50 centov za moške in ženske, in 50 centov za banket, kateri se bo vršil v Slovenskem domu po končanih tekmah. Banket oskrbujeta sestra Mary Bodak in sobrat Paul Klun. Oba sta nam zagotovila, da bodo gostje prvovrstno postreženi. Prosi se, da naj društva kaj j hitro zberejo svoje kegljaške [ skupine ter naj jih prijavijo so* | bratu Bobergu, predsedniku te tekme. Na tej tekmi bo tudi navzoč športni komisar Stanley Pechaver ali Little Stan, urednik angleške sekcije Nove Dobe, j ki je zelo priljubljen pri naši j mladini. Sedaj ga bodo lahko osebno videli ter ž njim pogovorili. Upam, da bodo ž njim prišli tudi naš glavni predsednik, sobrat Janko N. Rogelj, naš urednik Nove Dobe, sobrat Anton J. Terbovec, in prejšni športni' komisar, sobrat Louis Kolar, kateri je bil navzoč na vseh j prejšnih tekmah. Torej na svidenje na , tekmi 19. in 20. aprjla, in nato na svidenje tudi na banketu v Slovenskem domu 20. aprila, zvečer. Z bratskim pozdravom, John Jurgel Enumclatv, IVasli. — Ker ni bilo že dolgo nobenega dopisa v Novi Dobi iz naše naselbine, je gotovo vzrok to, da imamo tako lepo vreme in se vsak tako težko pripravi k pisanju. Zato sem se namenila poročati nekaj novic. Naznapiti vam mosam, da je dne 9. februarja umrla sosestra Frances Malovič, članica našega društva št. 162. Bila je dolgoletna članica Ameriške bratske zveze. Pristopila je k društvu na Black Diamond, Wash. Potem smo tukaj ustanovili novo društvo, J>a je prestopila k našemu društvu. Bila je dlje časa bolna. Društvo ji je priredilo lep pogreb po katoliških obredih. Pokopana je bila na Holy Cross pokopališču na Enumclaw. Naše društvo je položilo k njeni krsti lep venec. Pokojna zapušča žalujočega moža in sestro Cecilijo Božič v Enumclaw. V Seattlu, Wash, je umrl v bolnišnici 6. marca John Janežič. Bil je star naseljenec. V mladosti je živel n.i farmi, potem je farmo pro-da! in -t' vela s svojo soprogo v Enumclaw. Prod leti mu je unirla soproga, potem je živel sam. Star je bil preko 89 let, ko je umrl. Spadal ni k nobenemu društvu ter tudi sorodnikov ni imel v tem mestu. Le v Oregon Cityu je imel nečakinjo, Mrs. Mary Sekne, ki je članica ABZ in ki je tudi udeležila po-1 greba. Pokojni je bil doma iz j vasi pri Kamniku na Gorenjskem. Pokopan je bil tudi na Enumclaw pokopališču. Prizadetim moje sožalje. | Ker imamo že tako lepo vre-1 me od božiča, in ravno tako v državi Oregon, da sta me moja | dva sina, živeča v Portland, Ore. povabila, da naj jih pridem obiskat, da mi bosta razkazala; državo Oregon. Farmarji nima-! mo sedaj posebnega dela, smo dne 1. feruarja odpravili na pot! z mojim sinom Albertom, Mrs. i M. Remšak in Mrs. R. Pitman. Podali smo se ob peti uri zjutraj in smo bili ob osmi uri zjutraj že v Castle Rock pri sinu, ki je tam živel. Tu so nam dobro ' i postregli, nakar smo se podali 1 proti mestu Portland, in smo srečno prišli tja ob deseti uri i dopoldan. Bilo je veselo snidenje, ker je bil rojstni dan mojega starejšega sina 2. februar-’ ja. Voščili smo mu vse najboljše na mnoga leta. Takoj drugi ' | dan nas je Joe zapeljal med ro-1 jake v mesto Oregon City, kjer je precej naših ljudi, posebno dosti Gorenjcev. Najprvo smo 1 se ustavili pri Mr. in Mrs. Sekne, katera nas je bila zelo vesela. Ona je preje živela v našem 1 mestu in smo bili dobri prijate-} lji. Kmalu je bila miza obložena z vsakovrstnimi jedmi in France je nagibal majolko, da so ’ vsi kozarci postali rdeči. Pohvalil se je, da je kapljica|do-mačega pridelka in stara že tri j leta. Hitro je tekel čas, potreba j je bilo že oditi, toda me niso pustili. Morala sem ostati pri njih. Tako smo šli obiskat družine M. Polajnar, J. Turenšek, Mrs. Lužar in Mr. in Mrs. Petrič. Postregli so nam tako gostoljubno, da tega ne bom pozabila. j | Drugi dan sta me-Mr. in Mrs. Sekne peljala razkazat Oregon City, in daleč ven na farme, kjer sem videla lepo obdelana polja in druge zanimljivosti, o katerih bi se dalo dosti napisati. Prav lepa jima hvala za vso postrežbo in prijaznost, katero sta mi izkazala. Potem sta mi moj sin in njegova soproga razkazala Portland in okolico. Peljali smo se tudi do Bonneville Dam-a od katerega dobimo tudi mi električno razsvetljavo. To je res nekaj izrednega, da človek pogleda. Nato sem se vrnila nazaj v Washington. Gredoč smo si o-gledali ( mesto Vancouver, kjer je vojašnica za mlade fante. Koliko stvari se vidi tukaj, kako so zaposleni s pripravami. Ogledali smo se tudi novo tovarno za aluminij. Tu teče tudi reka Columbia. Potem smo šli v Castle Rock. Tam je bilo tudi zanimivo gledati ob reki Cowlitz, ko je bilo toliko ribičev, ki so lovili ribe, katerim pravijo: Smelts. Od vseh krajev pridejo ljudje lovit te ribe. Vsakemu je dovoljeno, da jih vjame do 20 funtov. Jaz še nikoli nisem videla toliko rib v vodi. Zajemajo jih kar s takimi mrežami, kot so otroci lovili metulje v starem kraju. Čudno se mi zdi, da ravno to reko izberejo ribe. Stari priseljenci so mi pravili, da samo dve leti niso prišle, drugače pridejo vsako leto v to reko. Potem smo se peljali na Long Beach, kateri je dolg 29 milj. Tu se Columbia reka izliva v Pa-cifično morje. Ko smo se vozili ob Columbia reki sem videla na tisoče smrekovih hlodov, katere plovijo po reki na žage. Tu smo videli tudi utrdbe ob morju. Tako je prišel čas, da smo se morali posloviti od svojih dragih, nakar smo se odpeljali proti domu.
