| Velika časnikarska zgradba, katero je v teku pol stoletja postavil najbolj znani ameriški I časnikarski magnat William I Randolph Hearst, polagoma ; razpada, še pred dobrimi 15 leti je Hearst lastoval okrog 20 ; velikih ameriških dnevnikov in celo vrsto revij. Hearstovi listi so preplavljali vse Zedinjene države in uredniki istih so imeli le malo samostojnosti; v glavnem so se morali ravnati po direktivah velikega magnata. Njegov vpliv na javno mnenje je bil torej ogromen. Poleg tega je mož lastoval mnogo nepremičnin v Zedinjenih državah, v Mehiki in drugod.
Vse to je začelo polagoma propadati. Več Hearstovih listov in revij je prenehalo izhajati, nekateri so se združili, nekateri so bili prodani. Večina ostalih je združena v Hearstov sindikat. Nekateri imajo še vedno veliko naklado in prinašajo dobiček, drugi delajo izgubo. Hearst je utrpel velike finančne izgube in njegova posestva in listi so zadolženi. Njegov zastopnik Clarence J. Shearn je danes pravi upravitelj vse Hearstove lastnine. Da so finančne težkoče Hearstovih podjetij velike, se vidi tudi iz tega, da so mu lani kot nominel-nemu uredniškemu direktorju njegovih listov znižali letno plačo od $500,000 na $100,000. Sto tisoč dolarjev je seveda še vedno sijajna letna plača za povprečnega državljana, toda ne za Hearsta, ki je eden največjih razsipnikov.
Pri vsej svoji razsipnosti pa velja Hearst pri svojih uslužbencih za velikega skopuha. Plačeval jih je in jih še plačuje kar mogoče nizko. Hearstovi listi tudi niso bili nikdar naklonjeni unijam in delavstvu sploh. Polni senzacij in pretiravanj tudi niso veljali za najboljše. Dandanes, ko Hearstova beseda ni več postava pri njegovih publikacijah, je morda v tem oziru boljše.
Osebno se Hearst, kljub kontroli, ki jo je imel nad velikim delom ameriškega časopisja, ni mogel uveljaviti politično. V New Yorku je večkrat kandidiral za župana in za governerja, pa brez uspeha. Največ, kar je dosegel, je bila dvakratna izvolitev za kongresnika. Al Smith leta 1922 ni hotel skupno z njim kandidirati na demokratski listi, in takrat se je Hearst prepričal, da svoje goreče ambicije, postati predsednik Zedinjenih držav, ne bo nikdar dosegel.
V letu 1920 se je Hearstovo časopisje pošteno blamiralo z “odkritjem” podkupnine, katero da so zvezni senatorji prejemali od Mehike; tozadevni dokumenti so se namreč izkazali za ponaredbe. Kmalu potem je bil izgnan iz Francije, kjer so ga obdolžili, da je aranžiral tatvino tajne angleško-francoske mornariške pogodbe. Hearstovi listi so tudi odkrili mnoge “rdeče” nevarnosti, katerih nikjer ni bilo. Leta 1932 je začasno dvignil svoj ugled, ko je podpiral Rooseveltovo nominacijo. Toda 7. Rooseveltovimi reformami Hearst ni bil zadovoljen in leta 1936 je podpiral Landona in prerokoval njegovo izvolitev. Ko je bil Roosevelt 3 veliko večino ponovno izvoljen, je Hearstov ugled močno padel.
Dandanes Hearst, ki je 76 let star, ni več gospodar ogromne časnikarske zgradbe, ki (Dalje na 3. strani)
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
JUBILEJ ČITALNICE
Narodna čitalnica v Kamniku proslavlja letos 70-letnico svojega prosvetnega delovanja. Ustanovljena je bila na pobudo odvetnika dr. Valentina Prevca in njegovega koncipienta slovenskega pesnika Simona Jenka. Deželna vlada v Ljubljani je z odlokom od dne 18. marca 1868 potrdila društvena pravila in dovolila ustanovitev društva. Iz Narodne čitalnice se je razvilo več drugih društev, med njimi tudi pevsko društvo “Lira,” ki kot najstarejše pevsko društvo v Sloveniji še vedno u-spešno deluje. Pod okriljem Narodne čitalnice je leta 1899 slovenski skladatelj Viktor Parma, takratni kamniški okrajni višji komisar, ustanovil kamniški salonski orkester.
STARE KORENINE
V Celju je dne 22. marca ob-| hajal 85-letnico svojega rojst-| va upokojeni gimnazijski profesor Josip Kožuh. Rojen je bil v Dvoru pri Polhovem Gradcu in kot profesor je služboval v različnih mestih bivše Avstrije. Leta 1899 je bil dodeljen samostojnim nemško- slovenskim gimnazijskim razredom v Celju, kjer je ostal do svoje upokojitve leta 1922. Posebno je jubilantu pri srcu Dijaška kuhinja, katere častni predsednik je še vedno.
V Bršljinu pri Novem mestu j je dne 19. marca obhajal 70-i letnico svojega rojstva po vsem | Dolenjskem znani in spoštovani 1 posestnik, gostilničar in mesar ! Josip VVindischer.
KRALJEVSKA ROŽA
V nekaterih krajih Slovenije {je najti zelo redko divjo cvetlico, ki se imenuje kraljevska roža, blagajev volčin ali blaga-|jana. Pred nekaj leti je bila ta j redka cvetlica zaščitena in od ! takrat se je zadovoljivo raz-j množila. Blagajana cvete zgo-| daj spomladi in največ jo je najti v predelu med Vrhniko in 1 Rovtami. Še pred nedavnim ča-! som so se ljubitelji narave bali, Ida bo ta redka cvetlica izumrla.
SMRT POBIRA
V Mariboru je v svojem 72. letu umrl bogoslovni profesor prelat dr. Fran Kovačič. Bil je učen mož ter Slovenec in Jugoslovan z vsem srcem. Za obmejno narodno kulturno delo si je stekel velikih zaslug.
V Brežicah je umrla Marija Svoboda, vdova po krojaškem mojstru Antonu Svobodi, stara 94 let. Po rodu je bila iz Radeč pri Zidanem mostu.
POSUŠILA SE JE V mestni oskrbnišnici v Mariboru je umrla 74-letna hišna posestnica Leonora Kugyjeva. Truplo pokojnice je tehtalo samo 19 kilogramov. Obdukcija je pokazala, da je pokojnica že več let bolehala na poapnenju žil in je smrt nastopila kot posledica popolne oslabelosti.
IZVOZ V NEMČIJO V letu 1938 je šlo v Nemčijo okrog 42% vsega jugoslovanskega izvoza. Ker sta sedaj vključeni tudi Češka in Slovaška v nemško carinsko območje, bo celotni jugoslovanski izvoz v to območje znašal nad 50 odstotkov.

VSAK P0W0JE
Jugoslavija in vse druge male države v Evropi kažejo kar najlepše obraze Nemčiji in Italiji. To je morda precej prisiljeno in težko, toda v obstoječih razmerah najbolj pametno in zdravo. če je človek v nezaželjeni družbi renčečih psov s krvavečimi gobci, je najbolj priporočljivo, da vsakega lepo prijazno nagovarja: “Nice doggie!”
Lev Velike Britanije, ki je do zadnjih tednov močno sličil pohlevnemu koštrunčku, je spet pričel dobivati svojo prvotno levjo obliko. Da bi le ne bilo prepozno!
Poljska je danes prepričana, da bo ona med prvimi na vrsti, ko se bo Hitlerju spet zahotelo novega ozemlja, zato se z vso naglico obfcrožuje. Vse železnice, ki vodijo iz Rusije, privaža-jo skoro izključno vojno opremo in surovine za izdelovanje iste. Rusije nimajo Poljaki nič ; kaj radi, toda v tem primeru Ijih je zelo ljuba soseda.
Doklev so se Kitajci bojevali ipod marelami, so se slabo izkazali, ker marele enostavno ni-jso držale svinčenega dežja. Ko |pa so marele odvrgli in se pričeli bojevati po modernem načinu, s'o povzročili Japoncem že mnogo sivih las. Zdi se, da se je zadnje čase iz tega nekaj na-! učil tudi angleški ministrski i predsednik Chamberlain, postavil marelo v kot in se začel ozirati po puškah in kanonih.

Ob reki Nilu so raziskovalci I odkrili grobnico, v kateri so na-* šli mumijo enega tastov kralja Salomona. Seveda, ker je imel kralj Salomon okrog 700 žen, posamezni kraljevi tast ni dosti štel. Menda ne dosti več kot deveti podpredsednik društva za zaščito izgubljenih mačk.

Pravijo, da ima nemški diktator Hitler šest dvojnikov, ki so mu za las podobni. Nacizem je torej na nekak način sličen pravljičnemu zmaju s sedmimi glavami, ki se ni dosti menil, če mu je bila odbita ena glava. Pošast bo divjala naprej, dokler bo imela le še eno glavo.

Albanskemu kralju Zogu se je rodil sin prestolonaslednik ravno ob času, ko so se italijanske čete zbirale, da zasedejo Albanijo. Novorojenček, katerega so imenovali Skander, je po svojem rojstvu princ, če bo pa kdaj tudi prestolonaslednik, je pa veliko vprašanje.

General Franco, kateremu so nemški naciji in italijanski fašisti omogočili zmago v Španiji, je dejal, da so Nemci in Italijani njegovi prijatelji in da bodo 1 ostali trajno zapisani v srcih vseh Špancev. Dokler so jim sa-imo v srcih zapisani, še ni tako hudo, toda bolj nerodno bo, ko jim bodo splezali na vrat.
*
Administracija v Washingto-nu pazno zasleduje razvoj dogodkov v Centralni in Južni Ameriki, ker se upravičeno boji, da se bo po zmagi španskih re-belov, ki je bila v resnici zmaga jhitlerizma in fašizma, zanesla ta zalega tudi na ameriški kontinent. Da ta pozornost ni brez podlage, dokazuje poročilo iz Argentine, da je bil tam aretiran Alfred Miller, vodja naci-jev, ki je deloval na to, da bi se provinca Patagonija odcepila od Argentine in se proglasila za ! nemško kolonijo.

ODLOŽENA POGAJANJA
Izgledi za spravo oziroma za poravnavo spornih zadev med C. I. O. in A. F. of L. unijami so slabi. Pogajanja, ki so se na poziv predsednika Roosevelta vršila zadnjih par tednov med za- ' fstopniki obeh omenjenih organizacij, so bila odložena za ne-i določen čas. Skeptiki sodijo, da; se pogajanja sploh ne bodo veči j obnovila.

V Washingtonu je umrl zvez- c j ni senator James Hamilton 1 ;Lewis, star 72 let. Pokojnik je { 1 bil vpliven politik in v splošnem podpornik in zagovornik Roose-veltovih idej. Poleg tega je bil , poznan kot mož, ki se je vedno c brezhibno oblačil in vedno na- j stopal kot gentleman.	r

Vprašanje: Imam svojo So- j cial Security Card in se mi za- { njo vedno odbija pristojbina od \ plače. Nisem pa ameriški dr- z žavljan, pa bi rad vedel, da-li { sem zares upravičen do pokoj- Z nine, ko dosežem 65 let staro- t sti. Nekdo mi je rekel, da v dr- Z žavi New York, kjer živim, so jj le državljani upravičeni do teh i pokojnin.	jj
Odgovor: Vi mešate federal- J I ne starostne pokojnine z držav-14 i nimi pokojninami za potrebne S j starce. Po federalnem zakonu o \ | socijalni varnosti so vsi delav-! j • ci, na katere se zakon nanaša,!* j upravičeni do starostnih pokoj- 5 nin začenši Od 1. 1942, čim do- 5 sežejo starost 65 let. Te pokoj- 5 nine se izplačujejo brez ozira 5 na državljanstvo, na gmotno \ stanje upravičenca ali na nje- $ govo bivališče. Plačila bodo od- \ visna od skupne svote zasluže- / nih mezd, zabeležene v knjigah S socialno-varnostne oblasti pod if isto številko, katero nosi nje- S gova karta. Najmanjša svota je 3 $10, najvišja pa $85 na mesec. S — Državne pokojnine so po- S vsem druga stvar. Do teh so u- S pravičerie že sedaj vse osebe, ki 5 so dosegle star ost 65 let, pa ni- j majo nikakega dohodka niti o- J trok, ki bi jih mogli vzdrževati. %
Vprašanje: Vložil sem v New J ■Yorku pred tremi meseci predhodno prošnjo za naturalizaci-1 j jo, pa.mQ nisq;še^oavali na iz-.h pit. Kako dolgo mi je treba ča-is kati?	n
Odgovor: Radi velikega šte-jj^ | vila prošenj, morajo prosilci v ! New Yorku čakati šest do se-I dem mesecev od vložitve proš- j', i nje do povabila na izpit. Tudi drugje po deželi je treba pre- ^
| cej dolgo čakati. Glavna stvar ; pri tem je, da pišete takoj na-
I turalizacijskemu uradu, ako ,

j spremenite svojo adreso, da vas | p«ziv k izpitu dobi ob določenem 1 času.	n

Vprašanje: Ali se pričakuje, n da bo kongres kaj ukrenil gle- k de legalizacije onih inozemcev, ji ki so prišli nezakonito pred b dnem 1. julija 1924?	:n
Odgovor: V reprezentantski!p zbornici kongresa so bili pred-1 k loženi trije zakonski načrti, ki! n 1 bi omogočili legalizacijo biva- ji nja onih inozemcev, glede ka•• n | terih ni nikake zaznambe, da j n j so prišli zakonitim potom pred j dnem 1. julija 1924.

Vprašanje: Rad bi se povrnil li v stari kraj, da tam ostanem, n nimam pa denarja za voznino. F Sem naturaliziran državljan. A- k li bo federalna vlada plačala za 1< mojo vožnjo ?	^
i Odgovor: Ne. Le siromašni i- P nozemci morejo dobiti repatria- a ! cijo na vladne stroške. Taki ino- ^ zemci poslani na vladne stroške v njihove rojstne dežele, pa se ^ ne morejo nikoli več vrniti v a Zedinjene države.
Vprašanje: Star sem 173 let in, ^ sem vedno delal do par mesecev! v
1 S
nazaj. Ali sem upravičen dobiti | „ tri in pol odsto pridobljenih ic mezd, ko preneham delati?
Odgovor: Ker ste bil več koti 1 65 let star, ko je socijalno-var-nostni zakon stopil v veljavo, ^ vas ta zakon ne pokriva. Ni bi- v lo nikakih odbitkov od vaše pla- ^ če in zato niste upravičen do t enkratnega plačila oziroma do r mesečne penzije. Ako ste pa v c potrebi, morete zaprositi za dr- j žavno starostno pokojnino v j. fmislu zakona one države, kjer H stanujeta. — flis.

POGODBA Z BRAZILIJO
T-
V nedavnih poročilih iz Wash-i ingtona smo čitalwia je administracija Zedinjenih držav sklenila zelo pomembno trgovinsko pogodbo z južnoameriško republiko Brazilijo. Razni eksperti vidijo v tem poleg boljših prilik za trgovino tudi poglobljene politične odnošaje med obema naj-! večjima republikama na ameriškem kontinentu.
Brazilija je ogromna država. Njena novršina meri 3,285,319 kvadratnih milj, med tem ko meri kontinentalna površina Zedinjenih držav brez zunanjih posestev le 3,026,789 kvadratnih milj. Brazilija je torej za več kot 258,000 kvadratnih milj več-i ja od naše republike ali za pri-Dližno toliko kot znaša površina naše države Texas. Prebivalstva pa šteje Brazilija znatno manj <ot naša republika, namreč samo okrog 45 milijonov. Dežela i je torej redko naseljena in nje-; na naravna bogastva še niso! močno razvita,
Za Zedinjene države more torej Brazilija nuditi dober trg, posebno kar se tiče industrijskih izdelkov. Glavni pridelek Brazilije je kava in od tega pridelka j največ pokupi naša republika. Poleg kave se iz Brazilije uvaža k nam tudi mnogo dragocenega lesa, surovih kož, raznih rud itd. Trgovina med obema državama pa bi bila mnogo bolj živahna, ako bi imela Brazilija bolj stabilne finance.
Ako se bo kongres Zedinjenih držav strinjal s priporočilom administracije, bo ta dežela posodila Braziliji za 50 milijonov dolarjev zlata, kar bi spravilo brazilske finance na dobro stališče. To posojilo zlata bi odpla-1 čevala v letnih obrokih z doma| produciranim zlatom, ki se ga letno nakoplje za približno deset mili jonov dolarjev. Poleg tega določa pogodba, da tukajšnja eksportno-importna banka dovoli Braziliji okrog 20 milijonov kredita za dobo dveh let. Eksperti iz Zedinjenih držav bodo pomagali Braziliji urediti njen finančni sistem in drugi eksperti ji bodo pomagali razviti njeno poljedelstvo in druge gospodarske vire.

MLADINSKI ODDELEK - JUVENILE DEPARTMENT
Manica Romanova:
IZKAZAL SE JE
--------
Pri Polajnarjevih sta čuvala hišo; t a /a psa: ogromni belo-rjavi bernardi-j g n 3c “črt" in za polovico manjši, a tu- f di mnogo mlajši črni "Murček." ; t Osemletnemu Janezku ni bil črt j u kar nič pri srcu. Seveda, stari velikan j je bil mnogo preresen, da bi po dečko- , t vi želji plesal po dvorišču, skakal čez 11 j: tlico in lovil žogo. Pač pa je bil v a takšnih rečeh tem spretnejši in vedno | f m vse norčije pripravljen mladi Mur- jr č-ik, ki se je okrog Janezka vrtil kakor i S navit, sc prekopiceval na vse načine, * r osil v gobčku palico, ulovil hrošča kar ;v v zraku in ga pohrustal kot najboljšo ' slaščico.
‘‘Hej, ko bi imel kar dva takale,e Murčka," se je domislil Janezek, "to ^ bi bilo veselja in smeha! Ali, dokler je ‘ pri hiši črt, ni misliti na to."
Ves prevzet od te prešerne želje se mladi razposajenec nekoč opogumi in namigne očetu:
“Očka! Z našim Črtom je malo prida. Samo poležaval bi po kotih. Treba bo novega varuha!”
Očetu se obraz zresni.
“Molči o tem in se rajši uči našte-vanko,” odvrne trdo. “Ko tebe še ni bilo na svetu, je črt že zvesto čuval hišo in v dolgih letih marsikakšnega dvo- ali štirinožnega potepuha odpo-, t il ter nas tako obvaroval škode in nesreče. Za plačilo naj bi ga pa zdaj pognal od hiše! Nikoli! črt ostane pri nas do svoje smrti. Le kaj ti vse pride na misel, ti brezsrčni tepček!"
Janezka postane sram. A kljub temu se kar ne more ogreti za črta. Vedno mu je krivičen. Kadar koli mu pride v roke nekaj, kar cenijo pasja usta, je tega vedno deležen Murček, nikoli pa črt.
Bilo je sredi februarja. Topli jug je ravel preko vasi in poljan. Snežna odeja, ki je pokrivala, strehe in, zemljo, se je pričela kar vidno nižati.
Janezek se je sankal tani za visokim i skednjem, kjer so po položnem bregu ; sanke hitele kakor ptič po zraku. i
Pravkar je privlekel sanke nazaj : gori tik za skedenj in se pripravil na novi zalet. Tedaj pa začuje nad seboj 1 neko višanje, podobno hlastanju, nato stresi ja j. ki mu je sledil udaretMia 1 glavo ir — izginilo je vse . . .
Janezek se je zavedel šele v postelji. 1 Začuden se je ozrl okrog sebe in se 1 hotel dvigniti. Pri tem pa je /.».čutil ,na desni struni glave tako hudo bolečino, da je glisno zaječal. V naslednjem hipir se je im že sklonil čezenj srečni iti smehljajoči se obraz njegove mamice :
“Janezek, zlati otrok moj! Najhujše i je že prestane, hvala Bogu!"
"Mamica,' je zastokal bolnik, "kaj vendar se je zgodilo z menoj?"
“Oj tl fantiček moj, skoro bi te bili izgubili. Včeraj si se sankal tam za skednjem. Pa. se je s strehe udrl sneg in te pokopal pod seboj. Poleg tega te je še kos zledenelega snega precej ranil na glavi. Da se nisi pod tem belim grobom zadušil, se imaš zahvaliti Črtu, Ut je prvi zavohal nesrečo in ti takoj planil na pomoč. Ko smo te našli, te je zvesta žival že odkopala in ti lizala krvavo glavo. Nezavestnega smo te petem prinesli v posteljo."
Dečku so se napolnile oči s solzami, j
“O, mamica," je zahlipal, “kako kri-, vičen sem bil proti Črtu Zal mi je, o kako žal! Zdaj hočem biti z njim' dober, o še vse boljši kakor z Mur-čkotn, — prav res — mamica!"
"Ze dobro, že," ga je polna sočutja potolažila mati in šla z roko narahlo preko sinkovega rosnega čela.
V nekaj dneh je bil Janezek spet na nogah. A poslej je bil njegov prvi miljen«; vedno le stari črt, čeprav se ni znal tako igrati z njim kakor Murček. — ("Zvonček.")
APRIL
Sunshine and showers, birds singing, i sweet flowers,
These things make April the month we all love
* Skies bright and siunny, bees sucking the honey,
And fleecy white clouds in the azure above.
Green grass newly growing trees budding, blooms showing Their heads above ground that was once brown and bare.
Robins are mating, the children are skating.
And true signs of Spring are found everywhere.

OUTWITTING SKIPPY
A new toy had been brought into Mazie's home. It was not exactly a toy, 'i but it brought the little bob-haired ’ girl so much joy that she looked upon 1 it as the most wonderful plaything she i had ever possessed. It was a big aquari- j utn filled with real, live goldfish.	j
Mazie had never seen such a big tank i before. She would stand before it for hours and watch the swift movement s and the graceful action of the little ( fish. Indeed, she grew so fond of the • new pets that she almost forgot old 5 , Skippy, the big spotted cat who had ( been Mazie’s playmate since the time when she was a little baby and Skippy , was only a little kitten.
But Skippy seemed not to feel slight- | ed. In fact, it semed to Mazie that the , ! old kitty was just as much interested • as Mazie herself was in those beautiful
One day, her eyes could not believe what they saw, Skippy, the treacherous, was balanced across one corner of the tank. Two paws supported her on one side and two paws on the other. Steadying herself on three feet, Skippy dipped into the water with the other paw and tried to grab a fish.
The poor little fish were cuddled up ' on the bottom of the tank. Skippy was ; dipping as deep as she dared. Her paw splashed around in the water causing great commotion. This was the extent of her damage.
However, with a cry, Mazie made a ; dash for the tank. As soon as Skippy saw her, she made one leap and darted to the floor. Mazie looked into the tank to count the fish and make sure they were all alive. Skippy disappeared.
That evening when Mazie’s father
goldfish. Skippy would look at the bright i little swimmers with an intensity that ] exceeded anything Mazie had ever before noticed in her.
“Certainly, Mother,” cried Mazie to her mother one morning, "it must be that Skippy loves the fish the same way that I do.'
“My dear,” replied her mother, "I don’t like to disappoint you but I am afraid that Skippy's interest is not based upon her love of the fish. At least riot the same kind of love that you have for them. All cats, you know dear, are extremely fond of fish as food, and I believe our Skippy watches the fish with the idea that they would make a mighty fine dinner.”
Dismay shone in Mazie’s face. Her mother noticed it.
Quickly she said, "Don’t worry, dear, nothing can happen to the precious fish."
But Mazie was worried. Surely old Skippy wouldn't distrub those lovely fish, even if she could. Mazie thought that the fish were safe, knowing as she did that cats hate water equally as tnueh as they love fish and that they would not venture into a tank even for the joy of a nice fish dinner. Realizing all this, Mazie felt contented and ran into the library to get herself a nice fairy I story.
| The book was tinisheci all too soon and Mazie looked about for Skippy who usually snuggled down beside her on the window seat whenever she read for a long time.
“Skippy, Skippy,” she called.
No Skippy appeared. Mazie began her search. Prom one room to another she scurried. Finally she entered the big living room where the aquarium stood. But Skippy was not here. However there was something that attracted Mazie’s attention. Water from the tank was splashed in great puddles on the floor. The fish were swimming about vigorously. They seemed to be a bit excited but otherwise everything was quite all right , in the tank.
Mazie hunted her cat, puzzled meanwhile as to how that water got splashed on the floor.
Skippy was finally found on the back porch, licking a plate that cook had given her with some choice morsels on it.
Mazie took Skippy in her arms and went with her into the house. Sitting down in a big armchair she held Skip-py’s face between her hands and questioned her severely.
“Were you worrying those goldfish, Skippy," she demanded.
Not waiting for a reply, Mazie con-1 tinued, ' Don't you let me catch you at it, or you will have something perfectly terrible done to you." Mazie didn't know what would be done but she made the word, “terrible" sound so dreadful that even Skippy shivered and squirmed.
Evidently the little lecture did no good, for the day following Skippy lay stretched out before the tank watching with fascinated gaze the movements of the fish. The next day, also, more puddles of water were found around the aquarium, and though Skippy could not be found in the act of splashing the water. Mazie never doubted that her cat was the cause of the disturbance, for surely, the fish themselves could not splash the frater.
As long as Skippy could never be caught in the act, Mazie hoped that slve was not to blame, but this did not make her relax her watchfulness. Everytime she felt suspicious, she would tiptoe to the living room door and peep in, expecting to find Skippy in the act of worrying the fish.
came home, the tale of Skippy’s bad behavior was told. Mazie became tearful, as she related the details, and: seemed to think that the only solution lay either getting rid of Skippy or the fish.
Her eyes were filled as she said: “And I don’t know which I should hate-most to part with.”
Mazie’s father heard the story thru. "Well, little girl,” he said, “I think we can fix things so that you do not; have to part with either of the pets. If Skippy knows that she cannot possibly get to the fish her interest in them will cease and they will be safe. So I will get a piece of fine mesh wire the size of i the top of the tank and fasten it in. The fish will get plenty of air and Skip- ! py cannot get her paw into the water. That ought to settle things, don’t you think so my dear?”
Mazie clapped her hands. “Oh yes,” she cried, "and that is sueh a fine I plan."
She squeezed his hand and looked up at him with great admiration.
"Now I can keep both of my pets,” she said, "but I couldn't have done it without my daddy.”
And a happy liftle girl romped off to bed.

PREGOVOR O MIŠKAH
V votlini pred hrastom je srečno' živel Miškolin. Nekoč je sklenil, da se oženi. Vzel je torbo s kruhom in šel po svetu iskat neveste. Hodi Miškolin m si domišlja, da bi ga bila vredna kvefemu žena iz cesarske hiše.
Cihodi ves svet. Pleza po skalovju, po planinah, dokler ne pride do oblakov. Jam zagleda samo sonce.
Pozdravi ga in vpraša, ali bi mu dale svojo hčer za ženo.
“Vzeti hočem za ženo hčer najmoč-ncj. ega cesarja in ti, Sonce, si car nad ; vte-.ui carji, kraljuješ vsemu svetu.”
Sonce se mu nasmehne in pravi: "Jaz kraljujem le tjiko dolgo, dokler mi oblak ne prekriža poti in mi ne ‘ZB.oC nči svetlega obraza. Oblak je moč-nej i od mene.”
Miškolin se poslovi in se napoti k Oblaku. Tam se prikloni najmočnejšemu vladarju m reče:
"Daj mi svojo hčer za ženo. Mislim, d i ni silnejšega vladarja od tebe. Moja fena pa naj bo hči prvega vladarja na svetu."
Oolak mu jezno odvrne:
“Ne, jaz nisem najmočnejši vladar. Močan sem le tako dolgo, dokler ne , zapiha veter. Takrat pa zbežim. Ne morem se meriti z Vetrom.”
; In Miškolin se napoti k Vetru. Ko s ga najde, ga začne prositi:
I “Mogočni Veter, poslušaj mojo pro-■ šnjo: Vsak dan mislim na tvojo hčer-1 ko, na hčerko najsilnejšega vladarja.
Daj mi jo za ženo.”
; Veter pa zapiha:
"Najsilnejši vladar na svetu nisem ' jaz, temveč tistile hrast: ne sonce ga ! ne more sežgati, ne jaz; tudi oblak mu ' ne more škodovati. To bi morala vede-’ ti vsuka miška!"
' Miškolin se vrne k svojemu hrastu. Prost ga za hčerko. Hrast ga pa poškropi z roso in pravi:
"Zmotil sl se, dragi moj. Res, silen j in močan sem. Ne bojim se ne sončne-' ;;a žarka, ne deževnega oblaka, ne gro-monosnega vetra. Ti me nikoli ne po-, uišijo.

DANDELION GREENS
The most fun about dandelion greens is the getting of them. With a jolly crowd it is very good fun.
Cut the greens from 1 inch below the ground so some of the white will come up.
Plants that have not gone to seed are the best for eating.
Wash the greens carefully and cut off any leaves that seem old.
Cut three-inch cubes of salt pork into tiny pieces.
Drop them into a deep frying pan and cook gently till brown.
Pour over them one cup water and bring to a boil.
Drop the dandelion greens into this i and again bring to a boil.
Cover well and cook slowly 25 minutes.
Drain, pour into a hot dish, dot w'itli butter and serve at once.
This is a very tasty spring dish.
Two Familiar Diseases
There’s scarely a boy or girl in the land, who. at some time during his childhood, isn’t taken ill with measles and with whooping cough. Perhaps you remember when you “had them" and the way you scratched and scratched and "whooped" and “whooped.”
If so, you no doubt will be interested to learn a few things about these maladies. To begin with, then, there is no I land in the whole world whose children do not at some time or other have the measles. Why back in the Tenth Cen-; turv it was known to the Arabs—but they considered it a form of small pox : and, later, a variety of scarlet fever.1 In some countries years and years go by without anyone having the measles; land then, all of a sudden, a lone case of it appears and—presto—very soon it spreads all over the&and!
Whooping cough is whooping cough the world over—but some races have the queerest “cures” for it you ever dreamed of. The feypsies, for instance, feel certain that a dormouse roasted j and eaten will brincr relief, while in a certain section of England ignorant people pull several hairs from the head of a child ill with whooping cough, roll
I them in a bit of meat and give the latter to a dog to eat, believing that in this way the disease will pass from the
| child to the animal-.
Now what would you think of your good, kind family doctor if he gave you j such treatment as that when you were "barking your head off" and strangling and choking in painful efforts to catch your breath!

DOLDRUMS
The term "doldrums" is used by the deep-sea sailors in naming that part of i the ocean close to the equator where dead calms are so frequent, and light, | shifting winds so often prevail to . bother the mariner. While in the dol-, drums sailing vessels have been known ' to beat about for weeks before being 1 able to escape from the thrall of the . ocean. The doldrums proper oscillate ; : north and south of the equator with | the season of the year. They obtain fur-\ ther north in July, August and Sep-’1 tember, and further south in January.

Miškolin se je nasmehnil. Stopil je ■! pred vladarja svojega rodu in ga pros' sil za hčerko. In vendar mu jo je dal ; Bilo je prav tako majcena in siva kakor on.
i Takrat se je rodil pregovor: Miška j se vedno povrne v svojo luknjo.

THE HIDDEN STAIRS
Jimmy Conway went up the steep marble steps of Number 18 Highland Avenue without expecting to have an ; adventure. Perhaps if he had known what lay behind those heavy doors he would not have rung the bell so boldly or waited so calmly on the doormat.
’ He did not wait long, the doors opened silently as if of their own accord and ■ r Jimmy walked into the hall, holding j tightly to his bag and feeling a bit uncomfortable, although he did not know ^ , just why.
' ! The hall was large and high and dark t! and just as the boy was wondering what j kind of new contraption it was that I | could open doors so smoothly, he heard i 3 j a queer sound which made him look i around.

"Well, how' about me?" said Tom indignantly, “Didn’t you fall on top of me and nearly knock me out?"

Glimpses of Nature
The familiar old rhyme, “April showers bring May flowers,” may be ! true enough so far as it goes, but iti | reality it is the sunshine and the rain | of a year ago that bring the flowers of this spring.
The countless numbers of woods flowers of March, April and May bloom, for the most part ,at a time when trees and shrubs of the forest have not yet I opened their leaves, and so do not shut out the sunshine from the little plants at their feet.
Taking advantage of this condition with what may be akin to the instinct of animals to provide against the time when food is scarce, these woodland plants waste no time puting forth their leaves and blossoms. Through the leaves the plant absorbs sunshine, which is magically transformed into chemical 1 energy to be stored in the bulb or tuber of the plant. F(om the air and the moisture of the earth other chemicals are also drawn and all are combined in the underground storage to form the food that makes possible the blossoms of another spring. Of course, this system also applies to many early blooming flowers of our gardens.
And because it is the leaves that gather in this plant food, if those leaves are destroyed the bulb from which they have sprung will also die. For this reason we are constantly reminded not to pick the early flowers. If a Trillium, for instance ,is plucked, almost certainly will come with the stem of three leaves just below the flower and this is as effective in killing the plant as if it had been uprooted.
The habits of “the early woodland plants make an interesting study. For example, Bloodroot, with its dainty, waxen flowers that fortunately dis-
are full of timely topics, snappy stories [: and clever illustrations. Would you like 11 to look at a sample copy?”	!	i
Jimmy held out a magazine but in- I stead of taking it, the old man rolled j ( his eyes, pointed mysteriously at his 11 1 eye and nose and shook his snowy head.
"Guess he must be deaf and dumb,, i poor fellow," thought Jimmy. But the old man was beckoning him. Jimmy fol- 1 ] lowed through the hall to a large library 1 ] ! full of fine old furniture and heavily 1 bound books.
The walls of the room were panelled i with dark wood almost up to the ceil- : ing, which made the room all the ] i gloomier.
“Guess I have to wait here for some- ■: | body who can talk,” said Jimmy to:, i himself.
The old man walked to the wall and began feeling along the edge of one of the wood panels. After a minute, while the boy looked on, the panel slowly opened and what was Jimmy’s surprise ’
! to find himself looking into a dark I hole where the panel had once been.
The old man now turned and waved | his hand toward the opening. He was j inviting Jimmy to enter it. A little shiver quivered down the boy’s spine but he was no coward and he thought,
| “Anyway I’ll probably get a subscrip-! tion,” as he peered into the mysterious,
! opening.
In the dim light he could make out some narrow stairs leading up. He was standing there thinking, when suddenly he got a hard push from behind which sent him headfirst towards the stairs.
"Gee!” lie exclaimed, scrambling to ; his feet. Just then the panel swung j shut and there he was alone in the dark.
"Hey there! Let tne out!” he shouted, throwing himself against the door. But l he soon realized that it was no use trying to break down the door and probably nobody could hear his cries.
He had some matches in his pocket i and these he lit one after another and I examined his prison. The door was heavy and solid and Jimmy could find ■ no trace of latch or fastening.
“A trick door!” he muttered. “Well, I’m going to stay here. I’ll try the |stairs.”
i Still holding his heavy bag of magazines he crept cautiously up the stairs, his heart beating fast. He had gone only a little way when he heard the panel below him open and shut again. Then a stealthy creak on the stair.
! “Somebody's following me!” thought Jimmy, with a shudder. Then he shouted boldly: "Who’s there?" No reply, only creak, creak.
“I’ll fix you!" muttered Jimmy thru clenched teeth.
Bracing himself on the stairway lie swung his magazines up and hurled them, bag and all, in the direction of the stealthy sounds. Bang! Crash! Woof! Jimmy waited for no more but scrambled Up the mysterious stairs ns if imps were after him. In fact he had a notion that the old man must be crazy.
Suddenly he dashed into a solid object. It was another door, only this

Dosedaj je skušala Nemčija razviti v Braziliji svojo trgovino in tudi svoj politični vpliv. Trgovinska pogodba z Zedinjenimi državami bo to v bodoče močno preprečevala. Sosedski odnošaji med našo republiko in Brazilijo so bili že dosedaj dobri in prijateljski, dober razvoj trgovine pa jih bo nedvomno še poglobil. Vzgledu Brazilije bodo najbrže sledile tudi druge južnoameriške in centralno-ameriške republike, namreč da bodo navezale tesnejše trgovske stike z našo republiko. Ako si naša republika zagotovi dobre izvozne trge v Centralni in Južni Ameriki, lahko pogreši izvoz v Evropo in Azijo. Boljši gospodarski stiki med republikami na ameriškem kontinentu jih bodo tudi politično tesneje povezali med seboj, kar pomeni, da na tem kontinentu ne bo več dosti prilik za intrige evropskih diktatorjev.

DEAR EDITOR:
How did the Easter Bunny greet you all? Well, I hope. A few weeks I was very happy. I really am always happy, but this was a certain occasion. Reason:
I had just received a $1.00 check and I am really very thankful.
March 31,1 passed my fifteenth birthday. Now going on to “sweet sixteen.”
I wish to congratulate Mr. Joseph Kovach on being elected the first delegate to the second athletic conference. Here is some true SSCU spirit.
Miss Rosaline Mantel of Ely, Minn, is the sixth elected juvenile member who will attend the third juvenile convention. Orchids to you, Rosaline.
Who will be the seventh delegate? Hold on to your Magic Carpet Little Stan for soon I’ll be riding on that carpet on my way to Minnesota.
Have all you juveniles read about Little Stan’s “Honor Roll”? I have!
I have hopes of being on the “Honor Roll." Do you? You just get busy and write an article for the next juvenile page. Maybe you can interview a delegate. You can also write a poem or story about the SSCU. So juveniles, let us break the record next month.
Here is my story entitled “Her Wish Can Come True.”
“Last call for dinner,” announced the porter. “Oh! come on let us go and eat,” said Anne to Barbara. “OK,” said Barbara.
Sitting down at the table, Barbara said, “Oh! I’ll never be able to thank my parents and secretary of our lodge as much as I really want too. Mee, too, said Anne. Look all we have done for our Union. We both got a hudred members .This trip is. certainly worth it. I can hardly wait till we get to Ely, Minnesota.
As they ordered their dinner they saw other young people whom they met and who were going on to the convention.
After dinner Anne and Barbara and the rest of the gang talked about the future in Minnesota. Things discussed were: First they wanted to know if Little Stan was really as handsome as he described himself. (Hm! Hm!) That’s what the girls were worrying about. Then they were wondering who they would choose for a president. Would it be a delegate from Minnesota, Montana, Ohio or Pennsylvania? Then could they meet the juvenile writers, especially Florence D. Startz. Would they meet the president Paul Bartel, secretary Anton ZBasnik, Mr. Terbovec, Mr. Rogelj, and other members of the board Would they meet any “Injuns”? Would Stan take pictures of the juveniles? (Since he is always talking about taking pictures.)
“I guess we will just have to wait till we get there to find out all the answers,” said Anne. “I think so too,” replied Barbara.
The rest of the gang thought so .too. Soon goodnights were said and Ann and Barbara left for their berth.
Through the night they travelled very fast, but the two girls were very comfortable.
It wasn’t quite seven o’clock and the two girls had risen from their beds.
After breakfast the gang met and discussed some secret plans. They said they would surprise Little Stan with a gift. The delegates told Anne that she would present Stan with a gift. It was a camera. Not a $3.00 one, but a very expensive one. Anne was very pleased about this and she thought if she would present Stan with the gift he would be very thankful to her.
Soon the porter came and told them the next stop was Ely. The girls ran to their berths and began packing. Within fifteen minutes they had finished. Their berths were now made and they were looking out the window.
Through the aisle the porter kept calling, “Ely, next stop, Ely.”
Gee! said Anne, I hope the train stops. I wouldn’t want to go further than Ely.
At the iyrival at the station Anne and Bertha could see a crowd of people, waving so our two young delegates began waving too.
The train stopped and the porter took their bags.
Well, well, if it isn’t Little Stan. How do you do, announced the gang to Stan. Well, gee! this is a surprise. How do you do . . . Greetings were exchanged and soon Stan began talking to the gang as if he were one of them.
He took them to a hotel where they were assigned rooms. Anne and Barbara were assigned a large room with two other girls, namely, Dorothy and Frances. The first thing the girls did was to clean up. After this they changed their frocks. Then a little rest. In half an hour someone was honking their horn. The four girls and the rest of the gang ran out. There was Stan with his Austin.
He wanted the gang to meet the rest of the delegates who were busy discussing some plans at the hall.
Delegates had good times. For three days, work, play and fun.
On the last day they had a banquet, but all had a good time and of course there were tears.
Now they would all have to leave and Barbara and Anne would have to have all this fun . . . but just then Anne's mother woke her up and said, “Anne if you don’t get up you will cetrainly be late for school.
Oh! mother, how many members
\
It seemed to us that mother heard the turning of the key.
For always when we stepped inside she’d call and we’d reply;
But we were all too young back then to understand just why,
Until the last one had returned, she j always kept a light,
For mother couldn’t sleep until she j kissed us all good night.
She had to know that we were safe before she went to rest;
She seemed to fear the world might harm the ones she loved best.
And once she said, “When you are grown men and women”
“Perhaps I’ll sleep the whole night I through.”
And so it seemed that night and day i we knew a mother’s care,	\
That always we’d find her waiting 1 there when we returned home. 1 Jennie Zupin (Age: 11) i No. 1, SSCU ---------------------!------------------ c

CANDIDATES, 3rd JUVENILE CON-VENTION ALL THROUGHOUT ] AMERICA DEAR JUVENILES:	j
Did you ever stop to envy Alladin i and his magic lamp, or wish you were i the Prince with his magic carpet, which carried him wherever he longed to go? ] Well, you need no magic lantern to < make your dream come true. No, you ( don’t even need a magic carpet.
Why!!! — That’s simple enough. Just ] qualify as a delegate and you will have ] the opportunity of a lifetime. Think of ] it, a trip over miles of steel rails to a i truly beautiful country. It’s better than j all the magic carpets of Fairyland for f it can really happen. Yes, all this for f your efforts in becoming a delegate. , Hard work on your part and that of your parents, relatives, and friends can ( make this possible. Get busy today, follow the example set by the qualified i delegates. Line up your classmates and , playmates. Get them interested in the ; grandest Union in America. Tell their parents the monthly fee is comparably • small with the benefits received. If ] your playmates like to read, give them • the Children’s Page and you’ll see it • won’t be long before they’ll want to , join and be able to write to the other | boys and girls, all over U. S. through , the voice of the SSCU Juveniles, the ; monthly “Children’s Page” better known as the “Juvenile Department.” .
Just pause for a moment, close your ; eyes and imagine that you are in a beautiful country. Above you is the beautiful blue around the trees of the great Minnesota forests, beyond that, : the silver ripple of the thousand lakes of this state. It has a carefree scene. Yes, that's what is waiting for you!
Beside the beauty of the Indian coun- ■ try there is the convention with its de- , lightful programs. What more cduld your young heart desire than to sit in ' that auditorium with your sisters and 1 brothers of the SSCU. And to think you / represent your own lodge and will be able to carry back to those you represent a happy story of your trip and ; adventures.
Boys and girls, fellow members of the SSCU, how can you resist being a , delegate with such fi treat in store. Since the spring season is here, the spring vacation will be the most appropriate to line up your friends and visit them. Take a little time each day to call upon some of them. You won’t have any lessons to prepare for school for at least a week; so why not put a little of your leisure time to use for something good.
Come on, let’s get busy today. Let’s see what lodge in the Union has the best juvenile workers. Don’t you think it would be fun to see your lodge on top. Of course you musn’t forget that the delegates’ pictures are appearing in the Nova Doba. Come on, let’s see yours.
Fraternally yours, •

DEAR EDITOR:
I want to thank you for the dollar award which I received for my last article. The Ely High School basketball team lost to Virginia in the second round of the tournament at Virginia. The band, of which I am a member, accompanied the team.
We have been having fine weather up here so I composed a poem which is written below:
SPRING IS HERE Spring is here And is well nigh,
Trees are budding ’Neath the sunny sky.
The birds are chirping So that they’re heard,
From the eagle of the mountain To the tiny humming bird.
Summer is a-coming,
Winter’s far away,
Autumn still is feast,
And spring is here to stay.
I hope everyone enjoys reading this poem as much as I enjoy reading the contributions of the other juveniles.
Gilbert Zbasnik (Age: 13) No. 1, SSCU
NEW YORK, N. Y.
DEAR EDITOR:
Here are two poems that I have made up. I hope the juveniles will find them interesting reading. Here is the first poem:
MY DREAMS Whenever I go to bed at night I close my eyes so tight.
Then I dream of France,
Where all the young ladies dance. They dance from place to place, They have such pretty faces,
Then I forget of France and dream of Spain.
Out on the rain,
The tumbling drops,
The mumbling flops,
The roads turn down
our team. There were only two morei-games to play (and win of course) and we would get the cup. There was no ! doubt we were an unbeaten team. The first game went off fine. But oh! The : second game. That’s where we were wrong. We lost. We asked the team what happened, they said: “It couldn’t be helped.”
Now I must tell you about our spelling bee family. This is the Clingan family. Robert, Evelyn and Marjorie ' each won the spelling bee in their own j grade. Robert won in the sixth grade, : Evelyn won in the seventh grade and Marjorie won the eighth grade.
Now in memory of my dead father I place this original poem in the Nova Doba.
FATHER I loved you dear, I did, I did,
To you all my love I did give.
Though you were far or near Letters brought words of cheer.
When you gave a little cheer It made me feel so happy dear.
Songs that you taught me to sing ( Happiness will always bring.
Though I’m only twelve years old I know that your heart is of gold Even though you’re dead and gone Your heart in mine will still live on. j Anna Hiti (Age: 21) No. 144, SSCU !

My sincere appreciation for the dollar < awarded me is really difficult to ex- I press in words. I honestly can’t tell you i myself but the two plain words “thank 1 you” will help you to understand.	:
Well, Spring is here and vacation is i just around a couple of corners. Al- ; though I can’t say much about the weather because it’s always changing, : I can say that the first day of Spring i certainly lived up to its reputation. 1 I'm closing with hopes of more nice < weather and best luck to all.	]

DEAR EDITOR:
I think it’s time I did my bit towards ; the coming third juvenile convention, I I mean in giving my contribution in 1 writing letters and in getting my quota i of members. I am trying for the honor 1 of being one of the delegates.
I was one of the fortunate ones to t go two years ago. That was the grand- 1 est vacation I ever had. The conven- 1 tion and the grand times Little Stan | and the people of Ely so graciously pre- 1 pared for us.	i
I congratulate Dorothy Predovich of ' Butte, Montana, on her being the first delegate to get her quota of members. 1 I know she won’t regret the hard work 1 and the terrible ordeals she had to go ; thru.	1
Keep plugging for,.
your members,	:
And you’ll have	i
something to remember. i And Little Stan I’ll be seeing you this i summer; well anyway I’ll try.

DEAR EDITOR:
First of all I want to thank you for ■ the one dollar check which I received ■ as a prize for my last article. And I ! also want to thank our lodge secre- : tary Angela Zalar for bringing me the : check. I was very glad to receive it ; from her.
Spring is here, and summer comes , next. Bowling season is soon going to be over. Following it comes the baseball season. Our publicity director Little Stan wrote me a letter and no doubt the other juvenile candidates received one too. On the letter it said that the ; first thing you must do is to qualify as a delegate to the third biennial juvenile convention by enrolling at least 40 new members. If you can’t get 40, then get as many as possible so that you’ll be on top of your district. But of course you’d be safe with 40. I’m trying my very best to get as many new members as I can. Our lodge is going slow but I think we will get enough new members to take the trip to Ely.

ELY, MINN. DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES:
The month of February rolled by so fast that I forgot to write a letter. Although I didn’t write for March, I read the articles submitted by others. Spring is here! Birds are here! I am a member of the Audubon Bird Society. We got six pictures to color and six pages of information. We have about 85 members, and the officers consist of a president, vice president and secretary. There are other committees also. We presented a bird program at one of the P. T. A. meetings held early in April.
Now that Spring is here, we can look forward to warmer weather. Winter sports are almost out of the picture. There is much news headlining the newspapers. Hitler is gaining much territory. First it was Austria, then Czechoslovakia, and now it is Memel in Lithuania. I am submitting the following poem, entitled, “The Mothers Watch.”
She never closed her eyes in sleep till we were all in bed.
On party nights till we came home she often sat and read.
We gave little thought about it then, we were so young,
How much the mother worried when we children were away.
We only knew she never slept when we were out at night,
And that she waited just to know that we’d come home allright.
Why, sometimes, when we’d stay away till one or two or three,
most of the magazines were either o Popular Science and National Geogra- g phic, from which much information is a available. And the newspapers were d those received from other cities and f; house organs of other fraternal benefit si organizations.	y,
In one corner of the room the visitor w will find a large safe, and a file of one b copy each of ail the Nova Doba’s ever printed. The first file copy is yellow ii with age.	fi
Before we left Mr. Terbovec showed e us a souvenir of Minnesota. It was a g canoe which he treasures very much, e He told us that he received it many I, years ago from a mayor in Ely, Minn., on one of his numerous trips to Ely. I He also said that it was filled with E flowers, when presented to him, but now it reposes on top of the newspaper files.
I just hated to leave Mr. Terbovec. I did not see Mr. Kolar as he was not at the office at the time. The office is such a nice cozy place that I hope I shall get another chance to look at it. I’ll never forget that delightful afternoon with Mr. Terbovec at the Nova Doba office. Until next month I wish everyone the best of luck and health.
Before I close, I want to thank the editors for awarding me a prize of one dollar for my last article.
My sister Bernice celebrated her birthday last month. She was six years old. My sister likes to color the pictures in the Nova Doba, and expressed a wish that more similar pictures would appear. My birthday is coming soon, E on April 21, when I will be 11 years old. My cousin got a baby brother in- a stead of an Easter bunny. He is very P happy	about	it.	n

DEAR	EDITOR:	i
Here	I am	again.	This time bringing	o
to you some news from Strabane.
On March 9 the eighth grade of our w school gave a party. Only parents were invited. We had a short program and also some dancing. Lunch was served and games were played during the evening. We all had a nice time.
This is a little incident which hap- E pened last Saturday. My mother and I were planning to go to Pittsburgh to do tl some shopping. She got dressed before I I did and went on ahead. I got dressed \\ and went down to the station. As I was o waiting for the train a man came and o asked me where I was going. I told him and he said that he would ride me g out there since he was going there also, e I got in the car and looked at him for t: the first time. I noticed that he was a a chinaman. He was driving the wrong p way and I got scared. I told him that I would give him my golden ring , if E he took me to Pittsburgh. He took the d ring and drove me out there. When I I got there my mother was waiting for a me, and wanted to know the reason for tl rrtf delay. At first I was too scared to tm her the whole story. I was hungry so we went into a restaurant to eat. My mother ordered a chocolate soda and I ordered a sandwich. To my surprise the chinaman which rode me out there, s brought rr.e the sandwich. I was so scared I didn’t know what to do. And what do you think was in the sandwich? Baloney, just like the story.

One day she was caught in a 0 forest fire, and when her mother start- f ed out to find her daughter she found a two moccasin flowers. They were shaped c like her little girl’s moccasins.

CONEMAUGH, PA. c DEAR EDITOR:	I
I know it is too late to publish this v letter in the juvenile department for March, but I thought I’d write it any- i way, for I intended to write every c month. I think it would be a good idea I to have a deadline for the letters of y juveniles each month. Don’t you think c we ought to have one too? Then there I wouldn’t be any late senders.	f
The month of March is the beginning r of spring month, and it certainly has f been spring-like so far. The days are full of sunshine and they make many c of us feel like going out and tramping t through the woods. The woods are just s a short piece away from our house and s we (my brother Rob, my mother and I) I often go and walk there. We take our r dog, a fox-terrier named “Roly,” with I us and we tramp for hours. Roly just e loves to go, for he runs back and forth barking furiously.	e
He makes us all feel happier when he c does that, for he seems to be telling us how much fun it is going to the woods b with us.	o
Sometimes we gather a bundle or two t of dry twigs and bring them home for a kindling. They make good firewood for a they light up quickly.	o
A few miles from here, in Somerset o County, are the maple sugar camps. I s have never visited any but I read about 1' them in our local paper#and my mother buys the maple syrup from a man who sells it. My uncle Vic said he will take us out there sometimes and we could watch the syrup boiling and also get a few samples of maple sugar. I think it will be a nice trip.
I want to go to camp next summer, t so I have started a savings fund just for that and that is where the award went, s Thank you very much for giving it to i: me.	a
Sincerely yours,	a

CLEVELAND, O. 1 DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES:	t
A few Saturdays ago, my sister Anne 1 woke me up bright and early. She e asked me if I wanted to go and visit t someone with her. At first I said no, 1 but when she told me she was visiting s Nova Doba office, I jumped out of bed \ quickly and got dressed. What a thrill. Of course I wanted to go. Who wouldn’t 1 want to see a newspaper office, especially the one which prepared the Nova Doba, including the juvenile page.
I kept on asking my sister Ann what ] kind of a place the Nova Doba office would be. I wondered if the office would ] be like the ones we see in the comics, or i in the movies, and read about it in the 1 books. I pictured a small room with a . bare wall, except for the ink spots 1 splattered here and there, small dirty i windows, a floor filled with scrap . paper and cigarette butts, an old dusty typewriter with keys loose and rattling, : a desk piled high with useless paper : and month old mail. But! was I sur- 1 prised when I entered our Nova Doba office. None of my thoughts were jus- : tified. The office was not at all what I imagined it to be. It is a very big office with large airy windows.
The desks of Mr. Terbovec and Mr. Kolar face each other at the end of the room, looking like one large desk. The mail racks were neatly filled with newspapers, letters and postcards. A novelty attracted me, a cowboy hat made of blue glass (souvenir of Cla-ridge, Pa.) on the desk.
Near each editor’s desk was a large polished typewriter, the kind any newspaper office would like to have. Mr. Terbovec told me that his typewriter was a little different from Mr. Kolar’s because it had a few extra keys which strike letters adapted only to the Slovene language. Near Mr. Terbovec’s typewriter is an unabridged Webster’s dictionary that comes in handy in every office.
On the walls were two maps of Europe and one of the world. There also was a calendar of the SSCU. On one side of the room covering almost the whole side was a large bookcase. Here the editor keeps the magazines and newspapers. Mr. Terbovec tolci me that

IZBOLJŠANO JEKLO
Iz New Yorka se poroča, daj ie metalurg iS.t Oscar F». Bach izumil novo vrsto nerjavečega; jekla, ki je močnejše in obenem lažje, kot katera koli druga kovina ali kovinska zmes, ki se j zdaj rabi v industriji. Nova kovina bo posebno pripravna za gradnjo letal, ker je polovico lažja in še enkrat močnejša od duraluminija, ki se zdaj rabi v te svrhe. Tudi za železnice in za gradnje hiš, bo izboljšano jeklo, ki se imenuje “bachite,” velikega pomena.

Dramsko društvo “Ivan Can-1 kar” v Clevelandu, (Ohio, je na! velikonočno nedeljo popoldne vprizon'o zabavno igro “Ameri-kanec na Trški gori.” Igra je bila zelo dobro vprizorjena in, udeležila je bila nepričakovano j velika. Dobiček prireditve je namenjen ljubljanskemu odboru za nabavo spomenika pokojnemu slovenskemu pisatelju dr.. Ivanu Lahu, ki je preminil pred j letom dni. Prireditve se je ude-t ležil tudi Mr. Louis Adamič,
. nonulauni ameriški pisatelj, ki se je tisti čas mudil v Cleve-. j landu. Iz njegovega neprisilje-„ nega smeha je bilo razvidno, da ga je igra zelo zabavala. Pred J pričetkom igre je bil pozvan na , oder. kjer je v kratkem govoru v slovenščini in angleščini povedni nekaj času in priliki pri-j mernega. Med drugim je dejal, j da zaradi kritičnih razmer v j Evrom mnoge evropske države I pošiljajo svoje zlato na varno v , Ameriko ,in da ie morda potrebno. da ameriški Slovenci razmišljamo. te ne bi bilo umestno, da ) spravimo tudi nekaj slovenskega “kulturnega zlata” na varno v Ameriko. Povedal je tudi, da je nadavno nemška policijska • oblast prepovedala n j e g ovo ’ knjigo “My America” v Veliki ■ Nemčiji, in izjavil, da je zelo po-^ nosen na to.
V Pozneje je govoril Mr. Ivan ii Zorman, znani ameriško-sloven-■- ski skladatelj in pesnik, ki je v t lepo zasnovanem govoru občin-i-|stvu predstavil pokojnega dr. i Ivana Laha po njegovih delih in j po svojem poznanstvu z njim.
^ družbi! Naše podporne organizacije so poleg tega z zelo ii ; malimi stroški upravljane in noben uradnik ne dobiva desettisoče ali stotisoče dolarjev letne plače. 'Dalje tvorijo te naše organizacije najboljšo in skoro edino resnično vez med ameriškimi Slovenci in predstavljajo tudi eno najboljših vezi med nami priseljenci in našo tu rojeno mladino. Nobena zavarovalna družba nam ne more dati 2
nekaj takega.	■	v
.. .. s
Naše podporne organizacije, vse brez izjeme, so ze
na različne načine pomagale drugim našim gospodarskim in raznim kulturnim ustanovam, pomagale so članom in rojakom, ki so jih zadele elementarne in druge nezgode,: J predstavljale so in še predstavljajo naš priseljeni narod 1 kot dobro, trezno in gospodarsko skrbno ljudstvo napram oblastim itd. Kaj takega niso in ne bodo vršile za nas zavarovalne družbe. Nikdar se še tudi ni slišalo, da bi bil j uradnik zavarovalne družbe, ki prejema morda 50 ali , 100 tisoč dolarjev letne plače, prišel med nas in kaj pri- , speval za naše prireditve ali ustanove. Uradniki naših , podpornih organizacij pa, dasi so v primeri s prej omenje- ] nimi skromno plačani, so že žrtvovali marsikak dolar za nekaj, kar je naše.
Bratje in sestre, pri naših kampanjah ni tekma med , posameznimi našimi podpornimi organizacijami, ampak ^ je tekma naših organizacij z zavarovalninskimi družbami. 1 Zaradi tega bi morale biti naše kampanje še mnogo bolj j agresivne, mnogo bolj žive in bolj pogoste. V eni ali; ] drugi bolj mali naselbini je to morda nepotrebno, toda pomniti moramo, da se naš delokrog razprostira preko vseh Zedinjenih držav in da so razmere v različnih našel' binah različne. Pomniti bi morali, da danes je odvisen : napredek vseh organizacij v glavnem od tu rojenih novih članov, za katere moramo voditi resno tekmo z zavarovalninskimi družbami. In teh prospektivnih mladih članov ; je mnogo ter še vedno doraščajo. Nikar ne mislimo, da 1 ; smo že vse “pokosili”; še dolgo ne!	!(
Da imamo Slovenci v Ameriki več podpornih orga-' nizacij, kot nekateri mislijo, da jih je treba, tudi ni kak-I sna posebna nesreča. Prav gotovo ne bi bilo nikdar toliko : I naših rojakov zavarovanih pri dobrih in zanesljivih pod-
I pornih organizacijah, kot jih je, če bi ne bilo to delo raz- , j.deljeno na več skupin. Vsi vemo, da gotovega rojaka ne 'bi pod nobenim pogojem dobili v gotovo organizacijo, pristopil pa je brez velikega obotavljanja v drugo. Saj nam je znano celo, da celo v društvo iste organizacije gotovih rojakov ni mogoče dobiti, v drugo društvo dotične organizacije v isti naselbini pa vstopi. Vsi imamo kakšne predsodke proti temu ali onemu, proti tej ali oni osebi,,
! toda zaradi tega smo vseeno lahko dobri ljudje in dobri j člani.
Na tem mestu je bilo že mnogokrat poudarjano, da ■ vse naše slovenske podporne organizacije so dobre in so nam’ še za dogleden čas potrebne. Istotako je bilo tudi že poudarjano, da mi sicer želimo dobitvkar največ naših , zdravih in značajnih rojakov v J. S. K, Jednoto, toda če ; prospektivnega člana bolj vleče v kako drugo slovensko
II podporno organizacijo, naj gre v drugo. Veliko boljše bo | tako, kakor pa da bi šel nekam med tujce ali pa sploh j ostal brez vsakega zavarovanja. Mi smo kot prodajalci: pokažemo, pohvalimo in ponudimo naše blago, toda če j
j ima druga slovenska organizacija kaj bolj mikavnega za j ‘ j kupca, naj kupi tam. Marsikateri kupec ima predsodke,
' i pa naj bodo osnovani ali neosnoyani. Od nas je odvisno, | : i da pokažemo in ponujamo naše blago, od kupca pa, da ' se odloči, kakor se njemu prav zdi. Mi vemo, da ponuja-1 mo dobro blago, uspeh pa je odvisen od naše prodajalske ;; zmožnosti in pa, kot že omenjeno, tudi od predsodkov j I kupca, v tem slučaju prospektivnega novega člana.
} \ Bratje in sestre, v tem smislu se ravnajmo v tej naši ! | kampanji, pa nam ne bo nihče mogel ničesar očitati. Po-i i leg tega lahko računamo na lepe in častne uspehe, ki bodo r; pospešili napredek in povzdignili ugled naše gospodarsko trdne, točne, poštene in nestrankarske J. S. K. Jednote!

tla je bil posestnik Ivan Kukovec od Sv. Jurija ob Ščavnici smrtno nevarno zaboden z nožem v prsi od nekega Štefana Kramarja, ko je šel v nedeljo k rani maši v družbi z neko vdovo. Ta tragedija dokazuje, da je nevarno spremljati vdove celo k maši.
Sijajna italijanska zmaga! Samo 130,000 hrabrih italijanskih vojakov, nekaj sto tankov, pol ducata vojnih ladij in 400 vojnih letal je bilo treba, da so Italijani premagali in zasedli Albanijo, ki je imela nekaj manj kot 13,000 vojakov. To vam je junaštvo!
*
Tedne in mesece čitamo skoro dan za dnem poročila o zavoje-vanjih: na Kitajskem, v Španiji, na češkoslovaškem, v Litvin-ski, v Albaniji,' in kdo ve, kaj bo še sJedilo. Pač smo srečni, da živimo v tej veliki republiki, kjer se nam ni bati sovražnih zavojevan j. Edini zavojevalec, katerega pričakujemo, je Zeleni Jurij. Njega bomo pa navdušeno sprejeli, saj bo prišel kot princ življenja, dobrote in lepote.

Dva nekoliko okajena rojaka sta se oni večer pri bari prepirala, če je ženska božji dar ali ni. Eden je bil za, drugi proti. Argument je rešil .prijatelj Cahe j, ki se je vmešal v prerekanje: “Seveda je ženska božji dar; saj sta božji dar tudi toča in gromska strela!”
Ko je bila pred par tedni zapečatena usoda Češkoslovaške, se je par ur pred vkorakanjem nemške vojske dvignilo tisoč [čeških letalcev s tisočem naj-' i boljših vojaških letal in so odleteli v Rusijo in druge prijateljske države.

NASE KAMPANJE
Vse naše slovenske, kakor tudi druge bratske podporne organizacije, vprizarjajo od časa do časa kampanje za pridobivanje novih članov. Ob priliki takih kampanj se vrše nekake tekme med agitatorji. Gre se za čast ali za nagrade v eni ali drugi obliki ali pa za oboje. Nekateri člani smatrajo, da kampanje pomenijo nepotrebno zapravljanje denarja, nekateri pa menijo, da iste povzročajo nepotrebno kompeticijo med bratskimi podpornimi organizacijami. Po mnenju avtorja tega članka so v zmoti oboji, ker pozabijo dvigniti oči preko ozkega domačega obzorja.
Kdor hoče videti, bo lahko videl, da danes ni tekina za nove člane med raznimi bratskimi podpornimi organizacijami, ampak med bratskimi organizacijami in med zavarovalninskimi družbami. Tukaj se bije pravi boj za nove člane ali zavarovance. Tekme, ki se vršijo med posameznimi bratskimi organizacijami so v primeri s tem bojem prave igrače. Ne gre se za to, katera bratska organizacija je boljša, ampak gre se za to, če dobi zavarovanca zavarovalninska družba ali dobi člana bratska podporna organizacija. Tej tekmi bi morali posvečati veliko večjo pozornost kot smo jo posvečali doslej. Pomniti bi morali, da danes prihajajo v poštev kot novi člani ali novi zavarovanci mlade, v Ameriki rojene osebe, ne vec priseljenci, za katere je bilo logično, da so najrajši pristopali k domačim organizacijam. Zavarovalninske družbe so tu resne tekmovalke.
Vse, kar naše bratske podporne organizacije izdajo za svoje kampanje, je rpalenkost, v primeri s tem, kar izdajo za nove zavarovance zavarovalninske družbe v plačah ali nagradah svojim agentom. Poleg tega je vredno upoštevati, da imajo zavarovalninske družbe svoje agente vedno na delu, kar pomeni, da so njihove kampanje vedno v teku, medtem ko se naše kampanje vršijo le od časa do časa.
V zvezi s tem je tudi vredno omeniti, da je poslovanje naših bratskih organizacij, kljub raznoličnosti ases-mentov in podpor in pri vsej točnosti zelo poceni. Pisec teh vrstic ima pred seboj letno poročilo neke zavarovalninske družbe, katere premoženje ob koncu leta 1938 je označeno za nekaj manj kot $959,000.00. Naša J. S. K. Jednota ima nad dva milijona dolarjev premoženja, torej več kot dvakrat toliko. Toda prej omenjena zavarovalninska družba je v letu 1938 izdala za plače uradnikov, direktorjev, odborov in uslužbencev nad $173,000.00. Računi za oglaševanje, tiskovine in poštnino znašajo za isti čas nad $120,000.00. Zdaj pa naj pogledajo naši člani v letni račun JSKJ in primerjajo gornje številke z izdatki, ki jih imamo mi v tem oziru!
Kdor se zanima, ve, da danes nudijo naše slovenske podporne organizacije skoro vse take zavarovalnine kot zavarovalninske družbe, poleg tega pa se razne druge, ki jih omenjene družbe nimajo, za take ali nižje asesmente. Seveda, če je nekdo zavarovan pri zavarovalninski družbi samo za smrtnino, pri nas pa poleg tega še za bolniško, operacijsko in druge podpore, bo kajpak razlika v ases-mentih. Primerjati pa je treba enako z enakim.
Vse naše slovenske podporne organizacije so na-piam zavarovalninskim družbam s svojimi kampanjami mnogo preveč skromne. Preveč se še zanašamo, da bodo novi člani pristopali v naše organizacije kar na lastno 'iniciativo, brez prigovarjanja in ne da bi jim bile podane v podrobnostih vse ugodnosti našega zavarovanja. Še vedno živimo v iluzijah, da imamo opraviti s priseljenci, ki ne razumejo jezika dežele in vsled tega ne morejo in ne marajo vzeti 'zavarovanja pri tujih zavarovalnicah. To bi si morali enkrat izbiti iz glav. Tiste, katere zamore-mo mi dobiti v naše bratske organizacije, morejo prav tako lahko dobiti agenti zavarovalnih družb. In ako so oni bolj agresivni in morejo ugodnosti zavarovanja bolj mikavno predstaviti kot mi, jih bodo pač oni dobili. To je problem, ki ga ni mogoče prezreti, če hočemo gledati z . odprtimi očmi. Morda ta problem ni tako viden v malih naselbinah, kjer so že vsi rojaki člani ene ali druge naših podpornih organizacij, toda je jako očiten v velikih
naselbinah.	.
Mi ne omalovažujemo zavarovalninskih družb m nikomur ne odgovarjamo, da naj se ne posluži njihovega zavarovanja, če mu ugaja. Toda naše prepričanje je, da spadajo vsi naši rojaki v naše slovenske podporne organizacije. Vemo, da jim moremo tu dati toliko ali več za tako ali nižjo ceno. Da so naše organizacije trdne, smo se lahko prepričali tekom zadnje hude depresije, ko nobena ni propadla, česar se ne more trditi o vseh zavarovalnin-skih družbah. Poleg tega mi naše organizacije upravljamo sami potom izvoljenih uradnikov. Pa vprašajte, kak-*-•	1 zavarovanec pri kakšni zavarovalninski

Ohio Federation
Cleveland, O. — We are near-i ing the month of May, one of; the nicest months in the year, when everything is in bloom, and people harbor desires to travel. The representatives to the Ohio Federation of SSCU lodges, too, will travel during this beautiful month to a genial settlement in Barberton, where, we shall hold a meeting. This,! on Sunday, May 7, at the lodge Domovina hall, starting at 10 a. m.
Why do representatives of lodges, affiliated with the federation, assemble at meetings?! This has been explained on sev-; eral occasions. I only,say that! it would be for th,e benefit of the lodges alone, as well as for the benefit of the SSCU, if all the Ohio SSCU lodges became;
I a part cf this federation. Lodges who are not yet members, and who hold meetings this month, may join. Elect representatives and send them to the meeting on Sunday, May 7.
As usual, we shall bowl after this meeting (unless a softball I game is arranged between two member SSCU lodges). The Barberton group defeated one Cleveland bowling team last January, and we shall try our luck in Barberton now.
Therefore, representatives to| the Ohio SSCU federation:, Make the necessary arrange- j ments to attend the meeting on May 7, in Barberton. Arm yourself with good suggestions and; motions.

 —
Uniontown, Pa. — Members j of St. Rochus lodge, No. 55, SS-i CU are urged to attend the next meeting, which will take place in the usual quarters, on Sunday, April 16. At the last meet-; ing it was proposed and passed; that the lodge hold a dance on * Saturday, April 22, in German: | Hall. Members, therefore, are requested to come to the meet- 1 ing and help make the necessary | arrangements. It is also the duty 1 of the members to attend the;! dance, since the proceeds of the I dance are turned into the lodge 8 treasury. Incidentally, our treasury is depleted and is in need of assistance.
Members are further request-!^ ed to show a little interest in the present membership cam-1' paign. If the members at least would enroll their children in;* our juvenile department, our, lodge would be in a position to1 ■ send two delegates to this year’s:J j uvenile convention. And thi$ is! not impossible, for juvenile as-;1 sessments are low. I work in;1 this direction as much as pos-| sible, and I wish that the other:1 members would help along in 1 this campaign. After all we share equal responsibilities., • During the first three months ;J we secured 9 new members in the juvenile department and one; in the adult section.
I take this occasion to request j1 members to pay promptly their; assessments. If a member fails j1 to pay his assessment, the sec-,! retary has no source of funds < from which to draw on and make up the deficiency. How- : eve)1, assessments must be for-; warded to the home office on! < time. The secretary would advance funds for members, but; where is he to obtain the money? , I find it difficult to meet the as- . sessments due of my family. We , all know that no one has plenty of money, since we work but two days a week; nevertheless, ^ the factor of paying assess- . ments must be worked out in j advance. We have ill members : in our lodge and two of theM members underwent an operation in the last month- This < shows that illness and accidents J never rest. We also know from < experience that an accident . likes to make its visit best when < a person carries no insurance < or is suspended because of non- i payment of assessments.	:

Louis Poiaski Jr., Sec’y1
Ely, Minn.—Busy j ggrappyl Newspaperman Lit-1 j j tie Stan really had '	;	to stretch his elon-
gated frame to cov-| er a series of rap-.a pfe id-fire happenings 11» |ksf|j in this little con-vention	city	over
LttUt Stao l;i" Week;
First	off	came i
electrifying news that our great juvenile convention and athletic; conference campaign had crack-1 ed the thousand mark. Bro. Anton Zbasnik, supreme secretary, of whom	you shall	read	about
further	down this column, told r
your reporter at this week’s; press conference that to date 1,006 new members have been enrolled! Of these, 680 are juveniles; 326 adults! Coherent with this fine showing came the report that there were 103! candidates entered in the race1 to become delegates to the third; juvenile convention, and 81 as-! piring for delegateship to the second athletic conference!
A brilliant field! And with the recent edict from the^home office which extended the deadline for filing from March 31st to April 30 — the probability is that the list will grow lai'ger as many of these candidates qualify for the fine trip to these northwoods!
From now on jjst.watch that campaign hit strides! Through April, May, and June, the headlines will pour forth a steady stream of a growing membership and delegates to the joint conclaves!
Take in Ely, for instance, j lodge No. 1 has qualified, two juvenile delegates — Mathew Banovetz and Rosaline Mantel, and are now working on the third. Untiringly, Bro. Joseph Kovach, president of the lodge, and Frank Tomsich, secretary, have gone out to ‘sell insurance’ and they’ve done a remarkable job! Bro. Kovach has been qualified as delegate to athletic; conference, and this week, Bro. j Frank Tomsich, who is also j assistant supreme secretary of our organization has also madej t he ticket — this announcement j does not cany the official stamp of the home office, but) will in the very near future. j
Lodge No. 2 will have quali- j fied young Louis Rebol, Jr., to! the juvenile convention. Mrs.. Rebol has worked hard, and has j achieved the final result which; brings honor and prestige to: her, the lodge, and the organi-j r-tion. Lodge No. 184, in the; same campaign district as! lodge No. 2, has practically-ualified young Robert Champa, j son of our supreme treasurer,; who will also boast of three juvenile convention participa- i tion. Mrs, Angela Grahek, who leaves for Cleveland in Little; Stan’s Alistin with other members of the Arrowhead Bowling team ENROLLED TEN NEW JUVENILE MEMBERS IN ONE DAY! Bro. Louis Pe-rushek, secretary of No. 2, will enter his son. “Sonny” — and the membership drive continues on!
Lodge No. 1.20, led by Mrs. John Korošec and Mrs. Rose Svetich, one of our supreme judiciaries, has qualified Miss
Amelia Korošec for the third time, are now ready to qualify John Korošec, brother of Amelia. Moving along! And from lodge No. 200, we find that our fine chum, Miss Justine Korent has entered the campaign, and will be duly qualified!
WHY ALL THS ACTION FROM ELY, WHERE THE HOME OFFICE IS LOCATED? — Because the people are anticipating a large list of delegates from other parts of the country; because they want to show that even though they will not get a nice big trip out of the convention, they’re still going to go out and show the other members how much they are really going to get out of the convention trip! No nice long educational and sightseeing trip to Ely for these dele-! gates — BUT THERE IS FOR ■ EVERYONE ELSE! They work i for the honor and prestige, for ! the privilege to rub elbows when YOU get here!
From other Minnesota Iron Range mining communities there will be more. From Gilbert, Eveleth, Hibbing, CHISHOLM. whom you’ll remember was on the honor roll in 1937 and has carved itself a niche in the SSCU’S hall of fame! They’ll be coming in! Virginia and Eveleth' will be in, too! WATCH THAT MINNESOTA DRIVE!
Butte, Montana, where lodge No. 196, Western Sisters is situated is showing the way! Let’s move along! Remember time’s flying by with almost ! lightning rapidity! LET’S j START RIGHT IN AND GO TO TOWN!
Exclusive Story of the Week
Last week, Little Stan left you as he whizzed his way to and from Virginia — Queen City of the Iron Range. He had to get back in time to attend that surprise birthday gathering in honor of our supreme ! secretary, Bro. Anton Zbasnik, j who reached and passed his i fiftieth milestone on April 3.
! The trip was made on time, giving Little Stan full view of jthe event!
i In charge of production for
this affair besides Little Stan
were Bro. Joseph Kovach and
! Bi o. Frank Tomsich, who with ! 7
I Mrs. Joseph Mantel and Mrs. Anton Zbasnik arranged all de-j tails! Splendid secrecy shrouded everything. Early in the eve-i ning guests arrived for the col-! orful gathering.
Biggest problem before the I party was how to get Mr. Zbas-nik to come to the party with-j out arousing his suspicion. Bro.
; Kovach, hard at work in the j campaign broached the idea. He called for an appointment with j him to discuss problems of the , campaign! Always ready to ! give official advice, Bro. Zbas-; nik invited Bro. Kovach to hold conference with him at the Zbasnik home. The procedui’e worked perfectly with Mr. Zbasnik still unsuspecting.
Meanwhile, almost directly across the street at the Joseph Mantel residence, there was the hustle and bustle of preparation ! Everyone worried if ; things would go on schedule : without provoking error! Tables (Continued on page 6)

Supreme Judiciary Decisions
Appeal of brother John Kin-kela, a member of lodge Radnik No. 204, in Windber, Pennsylvania, wherein he alleges that his claim for a sick benefit, for the period, from December 31, 1938 to January 14, 1939, was unjustly disallowed him. The claim was disallowed by our supreme executive committee, after it was informed that the appelant performed labor in driving an automobile, while on sick list and within the above said period of his illness. This the appelant denies, saying that not he himself but his friends drove him to his physician for treat ments to his injured foot. In the course of investigation a letter was mailed to the informant, requesting that he further testify. This the informant refused to do. The supreme judiciary committee decided that no sufficient evidence was presented to show that the appelant performed any labor in the period as stated above, and that his claim for a sick benefit be paid him. The decision of our supreme executive committee is hereby reversed.

were set with a fine birthday cake made by Mrs. Zbasnik, with 50 candles on it! Guests arrived. They were Mr. and Mrs. Louis Champa, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Frank Benko, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. John Stubler, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pishler, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kovach, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tomsich, Jr., Mr. Matt Rom, Mr. Joseph L. Champa, Miss Barbara Matesha, Miss Mary Kolenz, Miss Katherine Peshel, Mrs. Mary Smrekar, Miss Katherine Lovshin of Chisholm, the Mantel and Zbasnik families, and Little Stan.
Everything in readiness! The time was ripe! Mrs. Mantel telephoned the Zbasnik home asking the supreme secretary to come over as Mr. Champa and Mr. Tomsich had some matters of importance to discuss. He was asked to bring Bro. Kovach with him, when he at first declared he would be unable to make it right until after he finished the conference. Everything agreeable, the stage was set!
In seconds, the reception room was vacant with the exception of Messrs. Champa and Tomsich. Everyone went into the kitchen. The door opened, and there was the preliminary bantering. Then the kitchen door opened and everyone streamed to the front to offer congratulations! The surprise was complete to the minute detail! Joking, laughter and fun followed. Bro. Joseph Pishler and Little Stan assumed waiters roles, and served refreshments. But the biggest surprise was yet to come!
Some moments later everyone gathered at the table for the birthday, dinner! Bro. Ko-
Colorado Federation
Hastings, Colo. — Lodges of the SSCU within the State of Colorado are notified hereby to send their representatives to the coming federation meet ing, which will be held Sunday, April 23, in the new Slovene Home in Pueblo, Colo. Representatives are requested to be prompt so that the meeting can begin at 9 a. m. and be completed by 12 noon. This is necessary, if some representatives who travel between 40 and 119 miles are expected to get home before dark.
Lodges who are not yet members of the federation are invited to send observers to our meeting, so that they can convince themselves that we are working for the benefit of the lodges and the Union. Three more lodges joined the federation since the last meeting, and I have also received an encouraging report from lodge No. Ill in Leadville. If this lodge joins, then there shall be only three lodges from Colorado who are non-members. And these, too, we hope some day to see in our fold, so that we all shall be under one roof.
Members of the SSCU in Pueblo and neighboring vicinity are invited to attend the dance which will be held the evening before the federation meeting; that is on April 22 in the same quarters.
John Lipec, Sec’y
Lodge 132
Euclid, O. — Members of lodge Napredek, No. 132, SSCU are urged to attend the coming meeting, which will be held in the usual quarters on Friday, April 14, at 7 p. m. The regular three-month financial report will be made at this meeting, and sport activities will be discussed. At the March 9 meeting we had in attendance the first supreme trustee Janko N. Rogelj, and our athletic commissioner who is also the English editor of Nova Doba, Bro. Louis M. Kolar. Along with the two also was Bro. Mathew Molk. All three gave much encouragement to our membership. Although we anticipated the presence of our editor Bro. Terbo-vec a case of flu kept him away. The foregoing mentioned speakers spoke in behalf of our Union, and we shall try to be guided by their advice in our lodge and the organization.

The teacher had just finished telling the story of the Pilgrims to a group of small children.

tion of the gift; for the most pleasant surprise in his life was particularly outstanding. Later he spoke to the second table of diners — the younger people who were all present. Little Stan was toastmaster at this table, but he burnt the toast, proving that newspapermen make better writers than speechmakers!
Tables cleared, and the gang induced Bro. Tomsich to bring his accordion. Oh, you didn’t know our assistant supreme secretary could play the squeezebox! Well he can, and did in swell style! Meantime, there was swing harmony with Guitarist Billy Zbasnik and Little Stan conducting the session. Songs, merriment, and recounting, of the good old days.
The event remained in memory, always will. Quote our supreme secretary: “Now every-time 1 look at this ring, I shall be reminded of my many friends, of this lovely and fine surprise. I shall never forget!” Later — “I can’t tell time any more, everjrtime I look at my wrist watch, this ring catches my eye!"
And so the party neared end. Little Stan remained in the kitchen to help the gals with the dishes — he likes to be the last one to leave — the one who locks the doors! Heh Heh! And wiping dishes to swing rythm is fun! Try it sometime!
Music and harmony. The event will ring in Mr. Zbasnik’s ears for a long time. The committee in charge takes this means to thank everyone who helped and contributed to the success oi. this wonderful affair. Their names shall not be forgotten. For upon a lovely birthday card were engraved all the names of contributors. — Truly, “For Friendship’s Sake!”

. 1939. He was 68 years old, had been ailing for some time. He was bom in Dobro Polje, Jugoslavia, came to Ely when still a young man. He was employed at the mines, later as a janitor 1 in the Pioneer school where ^ the kiddies would lovingly call 1 him “Stritz.” During the past 5 six years he was employed as a : janitor in our Union’s home 3 office.

Be ij,
vach presided as toastmaster
Mr. Zbasnik seated as honor guest at the head of the table! Telegrams from supreme officers were read. There was much kidding and fun, particularly when Dr. fr. J. Arch’s short, but concisive message was read.
Bro. Kovach then with an eloquent address of presentation unwrapped a small box, opened it, exposing a beautiful diamond ring — the birthstone for the month of April. In the background of ringing applause it was presented to Mr. Zbasnik. So overcome was our supreme secretary, that words failed him. Unashamed, he dusted a few emotional tears from his eyes, then arose, asked his friends for time to compose himself for an appreciative response.
Candles on the birthday cake were lit, casting a holiday aspect on the scene as guests lunched. Feasting over, the customary procedure of blowing out the candles was next on the program. Lights were darkened with only the flickering candles casting cozy shadows about the room. To the pleas ure of the guests, Bro. Zbasnik prepared himself for the biggest test — to blow out all the candle lights in one breath! He practiced a few times, breathing deeply, exhaling slowly. Then ready! In position, he drew a big lungful of air. So big his shirt button almost went. I^e started blowing out the candles — the first 45 went out at once, then the 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th — almost all air gone, would he do it? He faltered momentarily — then that last light flickered, almost caugh on, flickered, and died out! All in one breath! A new champion! — I mean SUCCESS! — Applause followed, and a big smile of satisfaction swept over his countenance. At fifty, and still plenty of steam left!

Mi gremo naprej, ker nazaj pač ne znamo. V male rove za-jidemo, kjer kopljejo železno rudo. Tu je precejšna vročina. Po železnih lestvah plezamo gor in dol—luknje so male in temne, če se spuščam prehitro po lest-jvi navzdol, stopim Vranicharju na glavo, če zastavim moje premikanje, stoji na moji glavi prijatelj Milavec. To je šola, kjer moraš dobiti srednjo pot j med hitrostjo in počasnostjo.
Sedaj nas peljejo v rov, kjer j so razstrelili železno rudo. Tež-ika je naša hoja, duh po smodniku sili v prsa. Vroče mi je, pot lije prav tako kot pred leti, ko ! sva s stricem plezala proti vrhu Stožca v Karavankah. Mi rijemo naprej kot pravi krti. Nad 'nami se bočijo debeli tramovi, | katere pritiska težka železna ; zemlja. Nezaupljivo se ozirom v te močne opore, ki so na nekaterih kraji stisnjene kot male lesene vžigalice. Imam samo eno željo, da bi vse te opore držale toliko časa, dokler si mi ogledamo ta rov.

tem beli dan in s snegom pokrita zemlja. Vse je tako neverjetno, ker se je v misel že vsesala nekaka gotovost, da je ves svet zavit v noč in vlažen zrak, iz katerega ni izhoda, človek se počuti, kakor da je prišel na—: drugi svet.
Bili smo par ur v železnemu rudniku, toda obogateli smo na znanju in preizkušnji več, kot če bi prečitali debelo knjigo o rudarstvu. Tam doli smo videli, kaj je življenje jugoslovanskega rudarja v Ameriki. Kdor ni videl tega življenja pod zemljo, ta tudi ne more umevati tistih; težkih bojev in truda, katerega j so doprinašali naši pijonirji, ki; so ustanovili našo organizacijo, j Sedaj lahko boije razumevam! pripovedovanje naših ljudi po Minnesoti, koliko so trpeli pred [ štiridesetimi leti, ko so usta-1 novili Jednoto. Koliko rude je izkopal naš človek, koliko naših ljudi je dalo svoje borno živ-j ljenje, koliko je ostalo pohabljenih za vse življenje, da so dali Ameriki železa in jekla.
In če pomislimo na vse to, potem lahko pritrdimo, zakaj jim je bila lastna samopomoč tako ljuba in draga, zakaj jim je poT stala Jugoslovanska katoliška* jednota tako dragocena in upoštevana skupna—mati v tujini, daleč od njihove rodne zemlje.

dobil niti suhe kosti. Pa je hotel pokazati strmečemu svetu, da tudi on še nekaj šteje v Evropi, in je ukazal svojim junakom, da zasedajo malo, revno Albanijo. To je tako junaštvo kot treniranemu rokoborcu premagati petletnega otroka.
SITUACIJA V EVROPI
Anglija je sklenila vojaško obrambno zvezo s PoljSko. Tej. zvezi pripada poleg ocenjenih dveh držav tudi Francija. Na-cijski krogi odkrito izjavljajo, da mora Nemčija dobiti Danzig n poljski koridor, ki omogoča Poljski izhod na morje. To bi iazalo, da bo zdaj Poljska prva na vrsti, in, če se upre Nemcem s orožjem, je resna vojna skoro neizogibna, ker bosta v isto po-.egnjeni tudi Anglija in Franji ja.
Med Anglijo in Rusijo se volijo zaupna pogajanja, ki mor-ia omogočijo Poljski, Franciji in Angliji dobavo ruskih vojnih potrebščin, če pride do vojne z Nemčijo, Poroča se, da skuša Anglija pridobiti za odpor proti Nemčiji tudi Rumunijo in Madžarsko. Nemško časopisje strupeno napada Poljsko, ki je sklenila obrambni pakt z An-irlijo.
Po mnenju ameriškega ko-respondenta W. P. Simmsa je nevarnost evropske vojne zelo velika. Dinamit, ki zamore povzročiti eksplozijo, predstavljajo Poljska, Rumunija, Jugoslavija, Grška in Danzig. Ni pa verjetno, da bi se večja vojna pričela zaradi same okupacije Albanije po Italiji.
Vlada Zedinjenih držav ne bo priznala zjisedbe Albanije po Italiji.
V Jugoslaviji je ljudstvo zelo vznemirjeno ,ker se boji, da mu preti od strani Italije ali pa od Italije in Nemčije slična usoda kot je zadela češkoslovaško. Vlada sicer izdaja pomirljive izjave ,toda ljudstvo jim ne veruje.
Albanska kraljeva rodbina je pobegnila v Solun na Grško. Pobegli kralj Zog je izjavil, da so za nesrečo njegove dežele in za splošno kritično situacijo v Evropi odgovorni štiri možje, od katerih sta dva norca, dva pa bedaka. Dva podivjana norca sta Mussolini in Hitler, dva bedaka pa Daladier, ministrski predsednik Francije, in Chamberlain. ministrski predsednik Anglije.

In ker imamo ravno kampanjo ali tekmo za pridobivanje novih članov v odrasli in mladinski oddelek, priporočam vsem članom in članicam, da se po svojih močeh potrudijo, da bo naše društvo poslalo na atletično konferen-Ico vsaj dva delegata, na mladinsko konvencijo pa tri ali več.
Bratje in sestre, v tej kampanji moramo iti vsi na delo, da naše društvo ne bo ostalo med zadnjimi, ampak da bo med prvimi. Pokazali smo že večkrat v preteklosti, da lahko stopimo jv prve vrste, zato bi bilo lepo in častno, da pokažemo tudi zdaj. Čas za prijavo kandidatov za atletično konferenco in mladinsko konvencijo je podaljšan do 30. aprila. Torej se lahko še prijavijo tisti kandidati, kateri se dosedaj še niso. Potem pa vsi na delo. Vsak član in vsaka članica ima kakega prijatelja ali prijateljico, v katerega ali katere družini se morda skriva prospektivni novi član za odrasli ali mladinski oddelek naše Jednote. Treba ga je samo na jti, treba je samo povprašaati za njega. Našo finančno trdno in nepristransko Jednoto lahko priporočimo vsakemu. In poleg tega so za vsakega novo pridobljenega člana določene še nagrade v gotovini, ki jih je deležen tisti, ki novega člana vpiše. Poglejte seznamek teh nagrad v Novi Dobi! In potem Vsi na kampanjsko delo, da bo J. S. K. Jednota tudi ob zaključku te kampanje ponosna na naš Joliet!
Predno zaključim, pozivam še enkrat vse člane in članice, da se uSeležijo prihodnje seje v nedeljo 16. aprila. In vsak naj bi privedel s seboj enega novega člana oziroma kandidata za članstvo. Po seji bomo imeli lie-jkoliko okrepčil, da se malo razvedrimo. Upam, da ne pozabi na iDulJe uu U. sti j

W hile Valley, Pa. — Kakor > je bilo že poročano, bo društvo i št. 116 JSKJ proslavilo svojo ] 25-letnico v nedeljo 14. maja | 1939. Na seji meseca marca je bilo sklenjeno, da se k tej pro- • slavi povabi vsa bližnja bratska < društva, vse v Pennsylvaniji bi- i vajoče glavne odbornike JSKJ;’ in vse še živeče ustanovne čla-j' ne.
Vabila na glavne odbornike in na društvene tajnike so bila že razposlana, in tajniki, ki sol jih prejeli, so prošeni, da jih prečitajo na sejah. Upam, dal se bodo sosedna društva v lepem številu odzvala našemu va-; ibilu na to slavnost; ob prilikah, j sličnih prireditev drugih dru-1 štev bomo pa mi od naše strani skušali storiti svojo dolžnost.
Glavni govornik na tej slav-: nosti bo naš prvi glavni nadzornik Janko N. Rogelj iz Cie-:
: velanda. Ohio. K udeležbi so j vabljeni tudi drugi glavni odborniki iz države Ohio, ker ni-! so ravno preveč oddaljeni od j nas. Upam, da se naše proslave udeleži tudi naš urednik sobrat j Terbovec. Seveda, črešnje bodo i takrat še bolj kisle, pa če ne bo i drugače, jih bomo pa malo s sladkorjem potresli.
Omenjenega dne bomo obenem | proslavili Materinski dan in vse ! navzoče matere se bodo lahko I sukale po zvokih godbe, katero |bo proizvajal trio Joseph Kre-; marja, ki igra vsako soboto popoldne ob 3.15 popoldne na radio oddajni postaji WMBS v Uniontovvnu, Pa. Udeležencem bodo proti mali odškodnini na razpolago tudi rože, da z njimi obdarijo matere.
Proslava se bo vršila v Slovenski dvorani v White Valley in se bo pričela ob 6. uri popoldne. Vstopnina za osebo bo 25 j centov.
Torej, bratje in sestre, na 1 dan 14. maja obrnite svoje avtomobile na Route 22, to je na William Pen Highway, in privozite pred Slovensko dvorano v White Valley.
Vsi posetniki bodo dobrodošli in pripravljalni odbor bo skrbel za kar najboljšo postrežbo. To-; rej, na svidenje 14. maja! — Za društvo št. 116 JSKJ:

Haflf/alei/. Pa. — Člane in članice društva Sv. Alojzija, št. 13 JSKJ, opozarjam, da se bo naša prihodnja seja vršila v nedeljo 16. aprila, in se bo pričela točno ob 12. uri opoldne. Seja se bo začela bolj zgodaj zaradi tega, ker se ob dveh popoldne piične veselica v korist društvenega Doma. Ta veselica se bo vršila na Pipetownu pri Hostet-terju. Za godbo bo skrbel, Joseph i Kprosin mlajši.
Člani našega društva so vabljeni, da v obilem številu pose-tijo prihodnjo sejo v nedeljo 16. aprila, člani in vsi drugi rojaki pa so vabljeni, da pridejo na veselico, ki se prične istega dne ob dveh popoldne, kakor že gori omen jend.
Pri tej priliki naj omenim, da je v imeniku društev neka mala pomota glede zborovalne-ga časa našega društva. Pravilno bi se moralo glasiti, da naše društvo zboruje vsako TRETJO nedeljo v mesecu ob 2. uri popoldne. Malo spremembo smo določili za sejo v aprilu, ki se, bo pričela dve uri prej kot obi-: čajno. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 13 JSKJ :

Chicagu, lil. — članstvo društva Jugoslovanski zvon, št. 70 JSKJ, obveščam, da se bo naša prihodnja seja vršila v soboto' 15. aprila v navadnih prostorih. Na tej seji bo podano trimesečno poročilo nadzornega odbora.
člani in članice, ki še niso plačati tiketov za mesec marec, so prošeni, da to storijo ta mesec. Društveni sklep je bil, da mo>ra plačati en tiket vsak član in članica našega društva, pa če igle gledat predvajanje slik ali
: ne. Tako je bilo sklenjeno na'l | seji 18. marca.	H
Priporočam tudi članom, da c ,se nekoliko ogledajo okoli za c Inovimi člani in jih vpišejo nail prihodnji seji. Vsak predlaga- j I tel j novega člana je deležen na- 1 grade v gotovini, obenem pa 1 ' stori dobro delo zavarovancu, i društvu in Jednoti.

----- I,
Uniontoicn, Pa. — člani in j članice društva Sv. Roka, št. 55 JSKJ, so vabljeni, da se gotovo udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se, bo vršila v navadnih prostorih v j nedeljo 16. aprila. Na zadnji seji je bilo predlagano in podpi-l rano, da se priredi veselica na sol>oto 22. aprila v German Halli. Zato so člani prošeni, da pridejo na sejo, da se bo vse po-■ trebno ukrenilo glede veselice.
•; Seveda je pa tudi dolžnost čla-
• nov in članic, da se udeležijo^
• veselice, katere čisti dobiček je;
- nnmenjen društveni blagajni. l;Naša blagajna je čisto izčrpana ; : in potrebuje podpore.
H Dalje prosim člane, da poka-} žejo nekoliko zanimanja in aktivnosti v sedanji kampanji. Ako' bi vsi člani dali vsaj svoje nedo-I letne otroke vpisati v naš mla-i dinski cddelek, bi naše društvo 5 lahko imelo dva delegata na le-
> i tošn j i mladinski konvenciji. In >!to vendar ni nemogoče; saj so
- mladinski asesmenti tako nizki.
- Jaz se trudim, kolikor morem,
- toda želel bi, da bi mi v kampa-/; n j i pomagali tudi ostali člani; i saj smo enakopravni tudi v tem. i Tekom prvih treh mesecev smo i dobili 9 novih članov v mladinski oddelek in enega v odrasli
- oddelek.
Pri tej priliki tudi prosim čla-
- ne, da naj točno plačujejo svo-
> je asesmente. Ako član ne plača jasesmenta, nima tajnik kje vze-
i j ti, da bi poslal na glavni urad. -Na glavni urad pa mora biti i asesment pravočasno poslan.
- Saj bi tajnik založil za člane, a ki ne morejo ali ki pozabijo plačati, toda, kje naj vzame denar?
i j še zase in svojo družino težko 1 plačuje. Vsi vemo, da nihče ni -j preveč z denarjem založen, ker i|delamo le po par dni na teden, toda za plačevanje društvenih . asesmentov bi morali najprej skrbeti. Imamo bolnike pri dru-
- štvu in tekom enega meseca smo . imeli *dve operaciji. To kaže, a da bolezen in nesreča nikoli ne
- počiva. Vemo pa tudi iz izku-i šenj, da nesreča najrajši pride e takrat .kadar ni človek zavaro-
- van ali je zaradi neplačanja e asesmenta suspendiran. Bratski
- pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 55

J pravega rudarja. Pripravljali; J smo se nekako tako, kakor da j gremo ponovno na vojaški na-’ i bor. Vse se še nekako prestane, toda ko ti nataknejo rudarsko čelado 'ili klobuk, takrat posta- j | ne glava tako težka in motna, da človeka obidejo čudne misli, takrat se prikrade Od nekod j j vsiljiva bojazen: Kaj, če bi se res kaj zgodilo ... In potem: ^Prižgejo ti lučko nad glavo, da bi ti svetila v nesrečo ali smrt. Joj ,kako pritiska ta železna če-( . lada na lobanjo ter sili naprej! t in naprej proti nosu. Od moje j I lučke kaplja še voda, ki ubira' svojo pot po mojem nosu. To’ so nepopisljivi občutki, ko človek ne ve, kam neki ga peljejo. | - — če ni to vse res, le poglejte' sliko, ki predstavlja sledeče: Matt Anzelc, Andrew Milavec, j Paul Bartel, Louis Champa, .Frank Vranichar, Norman Hel-land, E. A. Hellberg, John J Kumše, menda tudi jaz in Frank Tomsich.
Vsi smo že na vspenjači, da nas potegne v prepad, v rudnik.
Vožnja se pričenja hitro, hitrejše in še hitrejše. Kar je, je sedaj, sem si mislil. Saj nisem sam. Saj še lučke brlijo in voda kapa na moj nos. Dokler časa še čutim, sem še živ. Padanje vzpenjače napravlja čuden ropot. Sliši se tudi nekako vzdihovanje prijatelja Anzelca. Mi pa še padamo in padamo v globino, kakor da ne bo konec te poti. Vozimo se že toliko časa, da pekel ne more biti več daleč. Mislil sem si: Zmerom ne bo tako, nekje se bomo že ustavili . . . Res smo se ustavili nekje pod zemljo, toda noge so tako čudno okorne in težke, kakor bi se bil nabral r.a njih svinec.
Lučka na glavi pa brli in gre-1 je. Sedaj ne kaplja več samo od nosa, ampak teče tudi za ušesi in po tilniku. Prava turška kopel.
, če/je kaj prehlajenja v meni,
, gotovo se sedaj izcedi.
Sedaj imam malo časa, da > pogledam obraze mojih prijajte! jev. Skoro nobenega več ne -■ poznam, vsi so enaki, kakor mračne postave s kresnicami nad , čelom, še glasovi so tako izpre-, men j eni .kot bi bili vsi vodeni in j težki. Zrak postaja kar gost in -!vsiljiv, trohnel'in mešan z duš-, iljivim smodnikovim dimom, i Hodimo po dolgem rovu, ki f, i je precej nizek, kjer ne manjka e tudi luže, iz katere je včasih i‘težko potegniti rudarske čevlje. (• Napol sključen hodim, podoben starcu, katerega je prijel rev-v.mntizom. Lepo nas greje rudni niški zrak.
ni Ustavimo se v prostoru, kjer »-pripravljajo strelilne vrvi. ltav-o no takrat pa so v bližnjih rovih i-j zažigali naboje, ki so pričeli el eksplodirati. Tresla še je zeni-i=. 1 ja, zrak je z vso silo pritiskal r , sunkoma v obraz, čudni in sko-,t ro strahotni občutki—če se se-o sede ta zemlja ob tem trenut-n ku . . . potem pa naj le gori n | tista lučka nad glavo za vse li:večne čase . . . “Zakaj sem pri-1-! šel radovednost past, mari bi Iostal pri prijatelju Tonetu Z»>aš-k, niku. ki sedaj nima takih mokrih io obrni kov!" U<>s, prav tako sem ko,mislil ter ^elel se enkrat videti
Po dva in po dva rudarja delata v enem rovu. Težko in na-i
porno je to delo. Pokažeta nam, kako na električni pogon grebeta nastreljeno rudo do odprtine, po kateri pada v nastavljene železne vozičke, s katerimi potem vozijo rudo do prostora, kjer jo nakladajo na vspenjačo, ki jo vleče ven iz zemlje.
Hodimo od rova do rova, kjer nam razkazujejo način kopanja, da moremo pojmovati vsa dela v železnem rudniku. Kapitan nam pripoveduje o varnostnih napravah, s katerimi so o-premljeni v današnjih časih železni rudniki. Naglaša nam, da je vsakemu rudarju zaukazano, da je prva varnost, potem še le delo. Varnosti posvečajo prvo ažnjo.
Zopet smo pri vspenjači. Od j tu nas poglobijo do dna železnega rudnika. Poglobimo se tl o šestnajstega “nadstropja” ali prostora, ali boljše povedano:, Sedaj smo šestnajst sto čevljev globoko pod zemljo. Tu srečamo našega sobrata Peruška, ki je i bil delegat na zadnji konvenciji.! Tu s' on služi svoj kruh. In koliko j-i drugih naših članov, ki so in še služijo svoj rudarski, kruh v tem rudokopu.
Tu nam umijejo rudarske1 čevlje, da s snažnimi čevlji | vstopimo v prostore, kjer delti-je.jo noč in dan močne vodne se-salke, ki p um pa j o prihajajočo vodo iz rudokopuika. Kako sna-! žno in čisto je okoli teh strojev, kako je vse v najlepšem redu! Vodnika nam opišeta delovanje teh* strojev, brez katerih ne bi bilo mogoče operirali rudokopa. Res, prava čuda so skrita v tej zemlji. Neverjetno, dokler človek ne vidi s svojimi' lastnimi očmi.
Koliko drugih stvari bi vam človek opisal, toda kako morete to razumeti, ako sami ne vidite.
Sedaj smo zopet na vspenjači. Vlečejo nas ven iz globoke jame. Dolga je pot navzgor, kar konca jo ni. Vsi molčimo in čakamo. kdaj se prisveti dnevna svetloba. Iz temne in vlažne nori si želimo, v beli dan hitimo. Kako nepopisno čudno se razgali« pred iianu prva svetloba, po-

Ob tem poslednjem vprašanju se je zdrznil, kakor da je nenadoma posijala čudna luč v dotlej docela temno in neznano \ globino.
“Mar ni Evalasta princesa princes, hči krajla kraljev, mojega očeta in moja sestra?” je mislil. “Svojo lastno kri smo darovali tujemu vladarju, svojemu tlačitelju in sovražniku, da zadosti na njej svoji pohoti kakor na sužnji! Kakor na sužnji... Moja sestra je sužnja... Jaz pa živim tu, se zabavam in se niti ne zavedam te sramote! Da, to je sramota, sramota zame, za mojega očeta in vse moje ljudstvo. Kaj je Ofirija? Je več kakor moja | sestra? Ona naj postane mati otrok najbližjega sorodnika faraoir, faraonov, njeni potomci naj vladajo svetu, moja sestra pa mora i biti samo sužnja ..
Z bolečino je doumel, da je vse to nečastno in porodila se i mu je želja, da bi stopil pred faraona in terjal, naj mu vrne j sestro. V divjem gnevu je hotel že slediti svoji misli, a razum | ga je priklepal k tlom. Spoznaval je, da bi bilo tako dejanje noro; in še brez haska.
“Pobili bi me, kakor so pobili in raztrgali onega Inka,” si je govoril. “In še smejali bi se prezirljivo; uživali bi. Ne, to ni prava pot; treba bo najti drugo, drugačno. Asarhadan misli pravilno. Le kako je bilo mogoče, da ga doslej nisem razumel? Treba je združiti moči, treba je s silo streti silo Semisirisa, moč Atlantide! Ta misel bodi poslej veliki namen mojega življenje!”
Potem se je nagnil Asarhadanu in mu dejal:
“Doumel sem do konca. Tvoj zaveznik sem. Zapustiva Semi-1 siris! Vrniva se domov, zberiva vojske in napadiva to ljudstvo!”
Asarhadan se je ozrl vanj s široko razprtimi očmi in izraz bolečine se mu je spremenil v izraz zmagoslavja. Počasi, kakor da bi hotel vsako besedo posebej poudariti, je dejal:
“Sedaj verujem v zmago svojih načrtov. Vse moje misli, ki so bile do tega trenotka še zmedene, dasi sem dobro vedel, kaj hočem, so se zgostile v jekleno voljo, ki mi kaže pot. Toda ne j sama. Za seboj popeljeva vladarja Inkov in vse tiste, ki jih žuli semisirski jarem. Vsa tlačena ljudstva sveta se bodo združila v želji po svobodi in maščevanju.”
“in tudi svojo sestro, princeso Evalasto, hočem odvesti s seboj..
“Jaz pa hočem popeljati v deželo jutrnjih planjav Ofirijo,” je dejal Asarhadan. “Ona je edina cvetka med atlantskim trnjem, j edina zvezda v njihovi noči, edini biser v globokem blatu.”
“Kako hočei to storiti ? Ne vidiš, da je ob njeni strani j Abusiris?"
“In kako hočeš ti rešiti Evalasto, mar ne veš,- da jo straži krdelo oboroženih evnuhov?”
“Pozabila sva oba, da nama je na poti tisoč ovir, ki jih morava odstraniti. Toda kako naj to storiva?”
“Ne boj se, tudi to še najdeva. Pogovoriva se o ...”
Beseda mu je zamrla v grlu. Opazil je, da se je Ofirija dv:gni-la, se pomešala med množico dvorjanov in dvorjank ter izginila: v ozadju. Kakor iz uma je planil za njo in jo dohitel v senci stebrov ozadne dvorane. Vsi živci so mu trepetali, ko se ji je približal.
“Vedela sem, da mi boš sledil, zato sem se umaknila sem,” je spregovorila Ofirija.
“Moja sladka, sonce sonc ..je zajecljal Asarhadan. “Približal se je trenotek, ko te izgubljam.”
“Nikoli!” je vzkliknila odločno. “Če misliš, da se bom vdala in bom postala mati Abusirisovih otrok, potem se motiš, kakor se moti on in se moti veliki moj oče. Sovražim ga, sovražim tako silno, kakor ljubim tebe, moj najdražji. Preden sem odšla k sprejemu, sem stopila pred kip velikega Raja, padla pred njim na kolena in mu prisegla, da bom samo tvoja ali pa nikogar. Ta prisega mi je sveta, ne bom je prelomila.”
“In če te bodo prisilili?”
“Nobene človeške moči ni, ki bi presegala moč Najvišjega.” “Bojim se ..
“Nikar! Našla bom pot. Ta hip še ne vem, kaj bom storila, a razločno čutim, da bom dosegla svoj namen. Še več, verujem in; vem. če ga pa vendarle ne dosežem, potem vedi, da je Najvišji j hotel drugače in me je določil sebi. Umrla bom, toda z zavestjo, da sem umrla zate čista.”
“Moja silna, mogočna ...”
“Ti pa misli sam. Mož si; morda mi boš lahko pomagal.” “Moji načrti so že sklenjeni. Bojim se samo, da bo moje delo prepočasno in bo prepozno uresničeno.”
“Hiti!”
“Storil bom vse ...”
Hotel jo je priviti k sebi, toda v senci stebrovja se je pojavila posejva in Ofirija se mu je iztrgala.
“Delaj in veruj!” je vzkliknila in zbežala nazaj med vrvečo množico dvorjanov in dvorjank.
Asarhadan ji je hotel slediti, toda temna postava se mu je približala, zastavila mu pot in spregovorila:
“Veliki Asarhadan, sin faraona planjav na strani jutra, naročilo imam zate.”
“Naročilo? Kakšno naročilo? Od koga? In — kdo si?” je vzkliknil.
“Moje ime te ne bi zanimalo, dasi ga dobro poznaš, kakor ga pozna sleherni na dvoru faraona faraonov," je spregovorila ženska, zakrivajoč si obraz s tenčico. “Mimo tega ne prihajam v svojem imenu, marveč po naročilu čarovnice Arikdinile .. “Čarovnice Arikdinile? Njeno ime sem nekoč že slišal.” “Potem veš, kdo je. Ona me pošilja k tebi, lepotec mladi, in te prosi, da jo obiščeš v votlini Osenčja pod Goro prihoda." “Cernu?”
“Ne vem.”
Zagrnjena ženska se je hitro poklonila in izginila prav tako j	nagio, kakor se mu je prej približala. Asarhadan je hotel skočiti,
Y	za njo, jo prijeti, pa si je premislil in ostal sam v senci stebrovja.

—Upam, da g. urednik tudi meni dovoli nekoliko prostora v ; Novi Dobi, katero z zanimanjem ; čitam že 10 let. Zdi se mi, da bij ta list zelo pogrešal, če bi mi i bil ustavljen.
; !
Tukaj v naši naselbini gre z
; delom še dosti dobro. Tu nase-j 1 j eni Slovenci priredimo tudi j večkrat kakšno zabavo, da se nekoliko medsebojno poveselimo, nekoliko podpremo naša društva in pri tem seveda obujamo j spomine na našo rodno Slovenijo. Mnogi izmed nas jo še želi obiskati. Toda, dokler nam to ni mogoče, se pogovarjamo o nji in z zanimanjem čitamo dopise ali članke tistih, ki so jo obiskali. Tako sem na primer z velikim zanimanjem čital članke Mr. J. N. Roglja, ki je bil | preteklo poletje v Sloveniji in J je potem v vrsti člankov v Novi! Dobi poročal o svojih opazovanjih in doživetjih, škoda, da se v Sloveniji ni zamudil nekoliko dalje časa, da bi bil obiskal tudi našo idilično Belo Krajino. Tudi tam bi bil lahko marsikaj zanimivega videl in poročila od tam bi zanimala tisočere in ti-sočeVe belokranjske rojake, ki !so raztreseni po Zedinjenih državah in Canadi. Seveda, v kratko odmerjenem času človek ne j more vsega obiskati in videti, j Morda bo kdaj v prihodnosti več ;časa in prilik.
I V te.i, okolici so ziati rudniki
i in zaslužek je še dosti povo-j Ijen. Tudi naša delavska or-j ganizacija napreduje, kar je j razveseljivo. Delavci bi morali biti povsod organizirani in v! j vseh slučajih složno nastopati j j za svoje pravice, tako z ozirom; na plače in delovne ure, kakor na varnost pri delu. Tukaj v l Lake Shore Mine skoro ni mese-! ca, da bi kakega delavca ne ubilo. Posebno nevarne so tako izvane zračne razstrelbe; tako zagrmi.!o, da se v okrožju pet milj /.emlja strese. Dne 4. aprila je v taki eksploziji ubilo dva delavca, 9 pa je bilo ranjenih.
Naj to za danes zadostuje; pa še ob* priliki kaj. Pozdrav vsem čitateljem Nove Dobe, posebno pa še mojim ožjim rojakom v Pittsburghu, Pennsylvania !

Cleveland, O. — Bližamo se,
■ mesecu maju, ki je eden najlep-|j|ih v letu, ker v tem mesecu se vse pomladi, vse oživi in člove-| ka se prime hrepenenje po poto-Ivanju. Tudi mi zastopniki ohij-ske federacije društev JSKJ bomo v tem prijetnem mesecu potovali v prijazno naselbino Barberton, kjer se bo vršilo naše zborovanje. To bo v nedeljo 7. maja. Zborovanje se bo vršilo v dvorani društva “Domovina” in se bo pričelo ob 10. uri dopoldne.
Zakaj se zastopniki društev, združenih v federaciji, zbirajo k sejam, je bilo že večkrat pojasnjeno. Jaz samo rečem, da bi bilo samo prav za posamezna društva kot za Jednoto, če bi bila vsa ohijska društva JSKJ združena v tej federaciji. Društva, ki še niso pridružena naši federaciji in ki bodo imela seje ; še ta mesec, se lahko še pridru-jžijo, izvolijo svoje zastopnike in ; j ih pošljejo na zborovanje v [nedeljo 7. maja.
1 j Kakor po navadi bomo po se-. ji tekmovali v kegljanju. Zad-
■ njič smo bili mi Clevelandčani tepeni kar tu doma v Clevelan-
du, toda to nas ni oplašilo, da' ne bi šli poskusit naše sreče v j Barberton. Kako bo ta reč izpadla, bomo pa potem videli.
Torej, zastopniki društev JS-I KJ v državi Ohio, pripravite sej z dobrimi priporočili in predlogi in pridite gotovo v nedeljo 7. j maja na federacijsko zborovanje v Barberton, Ohio! Bratski pozdrav! — Za federacijo društev JSKJ v državi Ohio:

Chicago, III. — Tem potom želim obvestiti člane in članice društva Jugoslovanski zvon, št. 70 JSKJ, da je naš društveni j blagajnik sobrat Joseph Susta-rich odpotoval na obisk v stari kraj. Odpotoval je dne 23. marca obenem s svojo družino in namerava ostati v rodni domovini, le malo časa. Pred dnevi sem j prejel od njega pismo s parnika j Queen Mary, v katerem med! drugim naroča pozdrave vsem! članom in članicam društva Jugoslovanski zvon in želi društvu j mnogo napredka. Prav tako mu želimo mi, da bi prijetno potoval, da bi imel mnogo zabave in užitka \ starem kraju ter da bi se zdrav in srečen spet vrnil med nas.

La Salle, lil. — Pri tukajšnjih volitvah, ki so se vršile v torek 4. aprila, je bil izvoljen za pomožnega supervižorja rojak Math Vogrich, predsednik društva Danica, št. 124 JSKJ. To je bilo prvič, da je bil v tem okraju izvoljen Slovenec na tako važno mesto. Slovenski vo- j lilci tega okrožja so s tem pokazali svojo moč.

Chicago, lil. — člane in članice društva Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ, opozarjam, da se bo naša prihodnja seja vršila v sredo 19 .aprila v navadnih prostorih in se bo pričela ob 7. uri zvečer. Vsi člani in članice so vljudno vabljeni, da se udeleže te seje. To bo zadnja seja pred veselico, katero priredi društvo ob 13-letnici svojega obstanka v soboto 13. maja. Vsi dobri nasveti z ozirom na veselico bodo dobrodošli. Ker se bo prireditev vršila v korist društvene blagajne, spada med dolžnosti vseh dobrih članov, da razprodajo kar največ vstopnic. Ako bomo vsi prijeli za delo, nam je uspeh zagotovljen.
Priporočljivo bi bilo tudi, da bi na prihodnji seji predlagali kaj novih kandidatov za odrasli ali mladinski oddelek, čas je kratek, in spodobilo bi se, da je tudi naše društvo zastopano po svojem delegatu na prihodnji mladinski konvenciji ali na atletski konferenci ali pa na obeh. Vsak napredek društva pomeni tudi napredek Jednote in čim več članov pridobimo v društvo, tem več rojakov bo zavarovanih pri dobri podporni organizaciji.
Pozdrav vsemu članstvu JSKJ, posebej pa še vsem že kvalificiranim delegatom in delega-tinjam za atletsko konferenco in mladinsko konvencijo, kakor tudi vsem kandidatom iti kandidatinjam za delegatstvo. Naj bi bili uspešni.

Chicago, IH- — Predstava filmskih slik iz stare domovine, ki jo je priredilo društvo Jugoslovanski Zvon, št. 70 JSKJ, je uspela v finančnem oziru sicer zadovoljivo, vendar pa ne v toliko, kot sem pričakoval. Jaz, kot predsednik društva, storim svojo dolžnost s tem, da se trudim povzdigniti ugled društva ' in postaviti društvo na trdno finančno podlago, toda, ako ni sodelovanja od strani članstva, j tudi predsednik in ostali odbor ne more delati čudežev. Imam j načrt, kako odpraviti društveno mesečno doklado ,kar bo pa mogoče edino s sodelovanjem članstva, toda o tem se bo govorilo
/
na prihodnji seji, ki se bo vršila j to sobeto, 15. aprila. Za sedaj: pa hočem spregovoriti par besedi o naši predstavi filmskih slik.
čeravno predstava filmskih slik ni uspela v finančnem oziru kot bi morala, je pa toliko več uspela v reklamo društvu in Jednoti. Udeležniki so bili s predstavo zadovoljni in o temi govorijo in tistim, ki se niso ude- j ležili, jim je zelo žal. Torej jej društvo s tem pridobilo veliko: ugleda, kar bo pokazala bodoč-i nost. Vsled tega si štejem v prijetno dolžnost, da se v imenu j društva prav lepo zahvalim vsem, ki so pripomogli k lepemu j uspehu. Lepa hvala v prvi vrsti; sobratom Anton Wencel, Louis j J. Zefran, in dr. Andrew Furlan j za predstavo filmskih slik, ka-1 kor tudi lastniku Fidelity Electric Co., Mr. Frank Schonta za: napeljavo zvočnika (loud speak-j er), ki je služil za oznanjevanje! in godbi, članstvu J. S. K. Jed-j note pa priporočam njihova podjetja. Lepa hvala tudi članstvu za sodelovanje v enem ali I drugem oziru.
Samo par besedi o naši kampanji za novo članstvo, ki sicer1 napreduje povoljno, vendar pa bi lahko še bolje. Sobrat Požek^ je na zadnji seji predlagal de-j set novih, pa pravi, da jih bo tudi to sejo lepo število. On pravi, da stavi “groš na goldinar,” da bo odnesel prvi “prize” v tej kampanji, jaz pa pravim, da bodo tudi ostali člani storili svojo dolžnost. Torej “let’s go.”
Končno: Ne pozabite na prihodnjo sejo to soboto, 15. aprila, j
Bratski pozdrav!
John Gottlieb, predsednik društva št. 70 JSKJ.
Euclid, O. — člane in članice j •društva Napredek, št. 132 JSKJ, pozivam, da se gotovo ude-, ležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v navadnih prostorih v petek 11, aprila ob 7. uri zvečer. Na tej seji bodo prečitani trimesečni računi in pogovorili se bomo nekoliko o športni aktivnosti. Seje 9. marca sta se udeležila tudi naš prvi glavni nadzornik Janko N. Rogelj in naš športni komisar ter urednik angleške sekcije Nove Dobe, sobrat Louis M. Kolar. Z njima je bil tudi sobrat Mathew Molk. Vsi trije so dali dobro vzpodbudo našemu članstvu. Pričakovali smo tudi našega urednika sobrata Terbovca, pa je sporočil ,da se ga še vedno nekoliko drži flu za rokav in da je ne mara vlačiti med cenjene sobrate. Prej omenjeni govorniki so nam povedaii marsikaj lepega in vzpodbudnega o naši Jednoti, mi pa skušajmo to upoštevati v korist našemu društvu in skupni organizaciji. In še enkrat: ne pozabit? priti na sejo v petek 14. aprila! — Za društvo Na-j predek, št. 132 JSKJ:

V CELOVCU NEKDAJ
Dne 24. januarja letos je minilo 75 let, ko so v Celovcu slo- j vesno otvorili narodno čitalnico [ s sijajno “besedo” in plesom. Slavnostna dvorana je bila okrašena z zastavami v slovenskih barvah, ob koroškem grbu je bila poi^g avstrijske zastave slovenska trobojnica. Dvorana je bila polna odlične gospode, gospe, gospodične iz Celovca, mnogo duhovnikov, učiteljev in kmetov od blizu in daleč. Med nje sta stopila deželni predsednik baron Sluga in deželni glavar grof Goes. Odlična gosta sta bila sprejeta s trikratnim “živio. Nato se je izvajal spored, ki mu je bila zadnja točka Jenkov “Naprej,” na kar je sledil ples. Prireditev je opisal Marija Ma-
