VEŽBANJE LETALCEV NEKAJ o CLEVELANDU
Zvezna vlada upa izvežbati 40,000 letalskih pilotov za svojo armado in mornarico letno. Pričakuje se, da bo ta kvota že dosežena v tekočem letu. Kvota za armado je 30,000, za_ mornarico pa 10,000 letno. V dosego tega cilja je armadno poveljstvo sklenilo pogodbo s kakimi 50 privatnimi letalskimi šolami, kjer bodo prospektivni piloti dobili 10 tednov začetnega vežba-nja. Poleg tega se bo nekaj začetnega vežbanja vršilo tudi na obstoječih vojaških vežbališčih. Mornarica bo mogla vse svoje prospektivne pilote izvežbati na svojih znatno razširjenih letalskih šolah.
Za letalske pilote je potreben prvovrstni material, in računa se, da za izvežbanje 40,000 pilotov je treba 70,000 začetnikov. Od skupnega števila začetnikov jih graduira le 57 procentov. Vsi kandidati za letalce so prostovoljci, to je, da se prostovoljno prijavijo zato šolanje in službo. Kljub temu vojaške oblasti niso v zadregi za prostovoljce; prijavi se jih navadno več kot jih je mogoče sprejeti.
Dosedaj se sprejema le kandidate z višješolsko izobrazbo. V bližnji bodočnosti pa se bodo sprejemali tudi kandidati z nižjo izobrazbo, če bodo drugače sposobni, in ti bodo graduira-li za letalske podčastnike.
Za sedaj morajo imeti letalski kandidati višješolsko izobrazbo, ki odgovarja vsaj za dve leti univerze ali kolegija. Kandidati morajo biti neporočeni, državljani in stari od 20 do 27 let. Fizična preiskava teh kandidatov je stroga. Vse, kar napravlja mladega moža nesposobnega za druge vrste vojaško službo, ga avtomatično onesposobi tudi za letalstvo. Poleg tega mora biti kandidat za pilota visok najmanj pet čevljev in štiri palce, toda ne več kot šest čevljev in štiri palce. Mora imeti popolnoma normalen vid brez očal, normalen posluh ter zdrava pljuča, srce in živčni sistem. Poleg tega mora imeti temperamentni sistem, ki odgovarja letalstvu.
Da li kandidat odgovarja tej zadnje omenjeni zahtevi za izvežbanje za dobrega letalca, ni lahko pronajti. Zato morajo kandidati iti skozi razne pre-iskušnje v laboratorijih, da se pronajde, kak vpliv ima nanje streljanje, menjanje luči in pozicije ali cilja itd. Tudi je treba pronajti, kako hitro telesni gibi odgovarjajo zahtevam signalov. Nekateri kandidati že pri teh prvih poskušnjah odpadejo, drugi pa dobijo prilike preisku-šenj pri aktualnih poletih. Nekateri so odklonjeni celo po tednih ali mesecih pravega letalskega vežbanja.
Take preiskušnje so potrebne zaradi varnosti za prospektivne letalce same in za vežbalno osob-je. Poleg tega se prihrani denar in čas vežbanja, ker iz nekaterih oseb tudi najboljše vežbanje ne more napraviti dobrega in zanesljivega letalca. Od letalca se v marsikaterem oziru zahteva mnogo več kot od navadnega vojaka ali mornarja. Letalci so torej nekaki aristokrati med vojaštvom in so dosedaj tudi vsi graduirani piloti imeli častniški čin.
PORAST PREBIVALSTVA
Prebivalstvo Zedinjenih držav se zdaj pomnoži za povprečno 900,000 oseb na leto. Okoli leta 1920 je znašal letni prira^ stek prebivalstva približno 1, 700,000.
SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
ZA KONTROLO CEN Predsednik Roosevelt je pretekli teden s posebno poslanico pozval kongres ,da sprejme postavo, ki bo omogočala regulacijo cen življenjskih potrebščin. Cene življenjskih potrebščin so se v teku zadnjih tr^h mesecev dvignile skoro za tri in pol odstotka, od začetka vojne v Evropi do sedaj pa šest odstotkov. Seveda so se cene nekaterih potrebščin dvignile več, drugih pa manj. Da se prepreči resna inflacija, je potrebna vsaj neka široka federalna regulacija cen.
HRANJENJE GASOLINA Tajnik notranjih zadev Harold L. Ickes je priporočil prodajalcem gasolina v trinajstih vzhodnih državah, da od 3. avgusta naprej prenehajo s prodajo gasolina vsak dan od 7. ure zvečer do sedme ure zjutraj. To skrajšanje prodajnega časa gasolina naj bi bilo prostovoljno. Mr. Ickes je poudaril, da o kakem pomanjkanju gasolina v deželi ni govora, manjka pa trans-portacijskih sredstev za prevoz istega iz juga in jugozapada na vzhod. Večje število tovornih ladij, ki so prej prevažale gasolina iz pristanišč v Texasu v pristanišča vzhodnih držav, je vlada odstopila Angliji.
HOPKINS V MOSKVI Harry Hopkins, administrator materialne pomoči, ki jo Zedinjene države pošiljajo Angliji in drugim državam, katere se borijo proti Hitlerju in njegovim zaveznikom, je pretekli teden odpotoval z letalom iz Londona v Moskvo, kjer je imel več konferenc s Stalinom in Molotovom. Posvetovanja so se najbrž tikala vojnih potrebščin, katere bi mogla Amerika poslati Rusiji. Kot se poroča, je Rusija pripravljena plačati za poslane potrebščine v gotovini. Hopkinsov poset v Moskvi kaže nad vsak dvom, da se ameriška vlada zaveda velikega pomena Rusije za zlom Hitlerizma.
EKONOMSKI PRITISK Kmalu po zamrznenju japon skih kreditov in dobroimetij v Zedinjenih državah je sledil od strani Amerike nadaljni gospodarski pritisk na Japonsko. Predsednik Roosevelt je namreč postavil pod licenčno kontrolo izvoz olja in drugih surovin v vse dežele, ki leže izven za-padne hemisfere, z izjemo Anglije in njenih dominijev ter drugih dežel, ki so v boju z nacisti in fašisti. V predsednikovi proklamaciji se niti z besedico ne omenja Japonske, dasi je ost embarga obrnjena v glavnem proti Japonski zaradi lij ene agresivnosti napram Indo-Kini in Thailandu.
INCIDENT Na ameriško topničarko Tu-tuilo, ki je zasidrana na reki Jangce v čunkingu na Kitajskem. so pretekli teden japonski vojaški letalci vrgli nekaj bomb, katere so pa k sreči le slabo zadele in povzročile malo škode. Ameriški državni department je proti temu činu takoj protestiral in Japonska je izrazila svoje obžalovanje ter obljubila napravljeno škodo poravnati. S tem je nevarni incident vsaj začasno zaključen.
Cleveland je največje mesto v državi Ohio. Ob času zadnjega ljudskega štetja je štelo nekaj manj kot milijon prebivalcev. Danes šteje najbrž znatno čez milijon prebivalcev, ker je velik razmah industrije privabil iz dežele in iz drugih mest mnogo delavcev in obrtnikov. Cleveland ima že od nekdaj vse mogoče industrije, narodna obramba pa je število teh industrij še povečala oziroma obstoječe industrije razširila. Za razvoj raznih industrij, posebno železne, ima Cleveland zelo ugodno lego ob jezeru Erie, preko katerega dobiva železno rudo iz Minnesote. Premoga pa je v obilici v sami državi Ohio, kakor tudi v sosednih državah, Pennsylvaniji in Indiani. Podnebje je prijetnejše kot na primer v Chicagu ali New Yorku, bodisi poleti ali pozimi.
V DEŽELI SADJA
DRAG 1,-UKSUS Avtomobilisti v Zedinjenih državah so v letu 1940 plačali (Dalje na 7. strani)
Cleveland je drugo največje slovensko mesto na svetu; na prvem mestu za Ljubljano. Iz tega seveda ne izhaja, da tvorijo Slovenci v Clevelandu večino; predstavljajo pa upoštevano manjšino, dasi se ta manjšina ne sme razumeti v starokraj-skem smislu. Točnega števila Slovencev v Clevelandu nimamo, toda računamo, da nas je od 35 do 50 tisoč; če štejemo našo tu rojeno mladino, ki je še kolikor toliko slovenska, bo najbrž zadnje število precej pravilno. Kljub temu pa štejemo v milijonskem mestu le kakšen dvajseti del. Svojemu številu precej primerno so Slovenci zastopani v mestnem odboru ter v raznih mestnih, okrajnih in drugih uradih; po večini so to tukaj rojeni Slovenci, toda med njimi so tudi priseljenci. Slovenskih trgovcev in obrtnikov je stotine; istotako imamo slovenske zdravnike, zobozdravnike, odvetnike, glasbenike, učitelje oziroma učiteljice itd. Preveč bi bilo naštevati poklice, v katerih se udejstvujejo naši ljudje v Clevelandu.
Veliki Cleveland ima devet Slovenskih domov, v katere je vloženega nad pol milijona dolarjev narodnega premoženja. Poleg stoterih podpornih društev, ki večinoma pripadajo raznim centraliziranim organizacijam, so v Clevelandu tudi slovenska pevska, dramska ter druga kulturna ali zabavna društva. Tu sta dve slovenski tiskarni in izhajata dva slovenska dnevnika. Poleg tega se tu tiskajo štirje slovenski tedniki, med njimi Nova Doba, ter dva mesečnika. Ameriška bratska zveza ima v Clevelandu, vključno s sosednim Euclidom, deset društev, od katerih sta dve ženski, tri pa angleško poslujoča. Koliko tisoč naših ljudi lastuje svoje domove, ni znano; vsekakor je to število visoko, ker je znano, da si naši ljudje nabavi jo lastne domove, če jim je le količkaj mogoče. Imamo tudi dva slovenska denarna zavoda. Sploh vsem potrebam naših ljudi lahko postrežejo rojaki, bodisi priseljeni, bodisi tukaj rojeni.
Slovenska skupina v Clevelandu se ne manjša, ampak raste. Res je, da se starejši priseljenci umikajo v kraje, odkoder ni vrnitve, zato pa prihajajo semkaj mladi ljudje iz Minnesote, iz Pennsylvanije, iz Michigana in od drugod. Vsako poletje obišče Cleveland tisoče rojakov iz drugih držav, kajti slovenska skupina v Clevelandu je tako velika', da vključuje rojake ali potomce rojakov iz vseh delov starokrajske Slovenije.

Poznopoletni izlet kamor koli po Zedinjenih državah, z izjemo skrajnega severa, prepriča potnika, da potuje po sadni deželi. Ponekod zavzemajo sadovnjaki kar obširne pokrajine skupaj, biez manjšin sadovnjakov pa ni skoro nikjer, kjer bivajo ljudje. Celo daleč na sever so se zadnje čase začele širiti znanstveno vzgojene sadne vrste, ki kljubujejo dolgi in ostri zimi. Seveda, največ sadja se pridela po zmerno gorkih in južnih krajih dežele.
Poznavalci razmer pravijo, da je ameriško sadje najboljše na svetu. Vse današnje sadne vrste izhajajo iz divjih sadnih vrst, ki jih je človek v dolgih tisočletjih z izbiranjem in negovanjem izboljšal, da so mesto drobnega in trpkega sadja pričele roditi okusnejše in plemenitejše sadje. V Zedinjene države je bila večina sadnih vrst vpeljana iz Evrope in Azije. Vse te vrste so bile že precej kultivirane, toda tekom par stoletij so jih tukajšnji sadjerejci silno izboljšali. Posebne velike zasluge za to ima sloveči ameriški rastlinski čarovnik Luther Burbank, ki je v visoki starosti umrl pred nekaj leti v Califor-niji. Z dolgotrajno izbiro in križanjem različnih sadnih vrst je Burbank vzgojil stotine izboljšanih ali popolnoma novih vrst. To delo danes nadaljujejo drugi in temu se je zahvaliti, da se ta dežela ponaša s tako obilico najfinejšega sadja.
Slično delo je dolgih 60 let vršil v Rusiji pred par leti ruski rastlinski čarovnik Ivan Vladimirovič Mičurin v mestu Kozlovu. Oficielni rastlinoslov-ci so se mu posmehovali in bivša carska vlada ga je smatrala za sanjača. Toda mož je delal in poskušal in dostikrat trpel pomanjkanje. Ko je tekom svetovne vojne v Rusiji nastal prevrat, je Mičurin beležil že lepe praktične uspehe. Ni bil nikak revolucionar, vendar se je takoj ponudil novi vladi, da bo še naprej delal za rastlinsko obogate-nje vse Rusije in človeštva. Novi oblastniki so mu dali na razpolago zemlje, financ in izkušene pomoči in uspehi rastlinskega čarovnika so se postoterili. Ime mesta Kozlova je bilo njemu v čast spremenjeno v Mi-čurinsk.
Ko je Mičurin umrl, so ruski časopisi med drugim zapisali: “Mičurin je umrl, toda Mičuri-novo delo, kateremu je žrtvoval vse svoje življenje, bo večno živelo. Nad 300 novih rastlinskih vrst je Mičurinovo delo. Po Mičurinovih metodah smo začeli presajati jug na sever. Mičurinovo sadje raste v Uralu, grozdje in hruške rode v Sibiriji. Z Mičurinovimi metodami je Cicin ustvaril večletno pšenico, Meister pa pšenico, ki vzdrži najostrejše podnebje. Novi človek osvaja svojo zemljo. Na Uralu pšenica in marelice, v Sibiriji grozdje in po vsej sovjetski zemlji raste južno sadje namesto piškave in kisle drobnja-di. Pri 56 stopinjah mraza po Celziju raste v Rusiji 120 vrst jablan, 14 sort hrušk, 8 vrst višenj, 7 sliv in 24 vrst kulturnih jagod. Mičurin je presadil jug na sever in obogatil človeštvo.”
BIVANJE DRŽAVLJANOV V INOZEMSTVU
VSAK PO SVOJE
TISKARSKI STROJI Moderni tiskarski sti'oj zamo-re natisniti do 60,000 iztisov lista v eni uri. Vsekakor je ta maksimalna hitrost malokdaj rabljena.
Ako kongres ne spremeni neke določbe Nationality Act-a od leta 1940, in to pred dnem 14. oktobra 1941, bodo mnogi naturalizirani državljani, ki sedaj živijo v inozemstvu, zgubili svoje ameriško državljanstvo.
Nekateri krogi se prizadevajo vplivati na kongres, da bi vza-konil vsaj tako spremembo k sedanjemu zakonu, ki bi obvarovala vsaj one naturalizirane državljane, ki so sedaj v inozemstvu in ki se vsled obstoje čih vojnih razmer ne morejo po vrniti v Združene države, tako da bi njihovo državljanstvo ostalo neprizadeto do enega leta po koncu sedanje vojne. Ni pa ni-kake sigurnosti, da bo kongres kaj ukrenil v tem pogledu.
Dokler ni novi državljanski zakon — Nationality Act od leta 1940 — stopil v veljavo, ni bilo nikake resne nevarnosti, da bi kdo zgubil državljanstvo radi dolgega bivanja izven Združenih držav. Ako se je naturalizirani državljan povrnil v svojo rojstno deželo in tam ostal dve leti ali več oziroma ako je živel v kateri drugi inozemski deželi pet let ali več, nastala je le domneva, da se je dotičnik odrekel svojega državljanstva (presumption of expatriation). Navadno pa se je moglo ovreči to domnevo s tem, da« je dotičnik dokazal, da se hoče takoj povrniti v Združene države v svrho stalnega bivanja tukaj, in s tem, da zanrosil za ameriški potil list v to svrho. Pod novo določbo pa, oseba, ki je postala ameriški državljan potom naturalizacije, izrecno zgubi državljanstvo, ako živi več kot tri leta — in v nekaterih slučajih, dve leti — v svoji rojstni deželi in pet let ali več v kateri drugi inozemski deželi. Dveletno bivanje v deželi, katere državljan je bil poprej, ima za posledico zgubo državljanstva (ekspatriaci-jo), ako pod zakoni dotične dežele dotičnik postane zopet državljan rojstne domovine vsled bivanja v njej. Na primer, Italija in škandinavske dežele imajo take zakone, vsled katerih njihov bivši državljan avtomatično postane zopet njihov državljan po dveletnem bivanju v starem kraju. Ako pa zakoni dotične dežele ne določajo takega avtomatičnega zopetnega podržav-ljanjenja, more dotičnik ostati tam tri leta, predno nastane ekspatriacija.
Zakon se nanaša le na naturalizirane državljane in na one ki so postali ameriški državljani vsled naturalizacije roditelja oziroma vsled poroke z ameriškim državljanom.
Zakon pa ima tudi mnogo izjem. Naturalizirani državljani, ki so v inozemstvu v službi vlade ali kake ameriške vzgojeval-ne, znanstvene, dobrodelne, verske, trgovske, finančne ali poslovne organizacije, so izvzeti skupaj z ženami in otroci pod 21. letom, ki živijo z njimi. Na turalizirani državljani, ki živijo v inozemstvu vsled slabega zdravja, so tudi izvzeti in ravno tako so dijaki, ki pohajajo kako višjo šolo, ako bivanje v inozemstvo ne traja več kot pet let. Naturalizirani državljani, ki dobivajo vladno penzijo, in tudi oni, ki so šli živet v inozemstvo po starosti 65 let, ako so bili pred tem državljani za vsaj 25 let, tudi niso prizadeti in ne zgubijo državljanstva vsled bivanja v inozemstvu.

V strahotni tragediji vojne navadno ni ničesar zabavnega. Kljub temu pa so na svoj način zabavna zadnja nemška poročila, v katerih se naciji bridko pritožujejo, da Rusi ne vedo ali da nečejo vedeti, kdaj so tepeni. Nemci jim že nad mesec dni pripovedujejo, da so premagani, razpršeni in tepeni, toda Rusi se trdovratno tepejo naprej in s tem žalijo svoje napadalce. Ruski medved je res neroda, ki si ne da ničesar dopovedati.
V listih smo čitali, da je Hitler obljubil Japonski, da bo Rusijo zdrobil v avgustu, Anglijo podjarmil v septembru in s popolno nacijsko zmago končal vojno pred zimo. Ker pa še nobena dosedanjih Hitlerjevih obljub ni držala, mislimo, da tudi gori omenjena ne bo.

Prve žrtve oficielne napetosti med Zedinjenimi državami in Japonsko bodo baje svilene nogavice oziroma ženske, ki bi jih rade nosile, pa jih ne bo dobiti. Večina v Zedinjenih državah po-rabljane svile je bila importira-na iz Japonske in ta import bo po vsej priliki zdaj ukinjen. Zaloge svile, ki so zdaj v deželi, bo pograbila obrambna industrija za parašute in druge vojaške predmete. Zdi se, da bodo v doglednem času tudi Židane marele paradirale samo še v naši narodni popevki.

Rusi imajo drugačno prati-

V Grand Prairie, Texas, je policijski načelnik Perry Nash nedavno aretiral dva moža in enega pravega kozla, ki so skupno meketali po ulicah. Kozla na dveh nogah sta se drugi dan zbudila z glavobolom in veliko žejo, štirinogati kozel pa je odšel v večna kozlišča, oziroma je poginil, zapustivši duhteče spomine v lokalni ječi. To kaže, da titulami dvonožni kozli več prenesejo kot štirinogati.

Nemška vojna poročila z ruske fronte so zadnje čase večkrat omejena na kratko izjavo, da se vojna razvija po načrtu. Zdi se, da te načrte naciji vsak dan sproti delajo, ali pa jim jih diktii'ajo Rusi.

Naš prijatelj in sobrat Tony Drenik, ki se je obvezni vojaški službi strica Sama odtegnil s tem, da. je prostovoljno vstopil v ameriško armado, pravi, da je pri vojakih čisto prijetno. Ob šestih zjutraj, ko morajo vstati, je radio odprt že na stežaj, da fantje slišijo najnovejše vesti. Ob osmih, po zajtrku, imajo fantje že pripravljene niklje, da si kupijo jutranje časopise. Po peti uri popoldne so fantje prost i vežbe in službe in gredo lahko v mesto, če jih veseli, bodisi v vojaški ali svoji civilni obleki. Da o takih rečeh bivši avstrijski vojaki niti sanjati niso smeli, vedo vsi, ki so “Franceljna” služili. Pa je vendar ameriška armada še iz vsake vojne izšle zmagovita !

Adventure in a Mine
DO YOU KNOW HER?
When Teddy Barns went out West to visit his uncle in the mining region lie expected to learn a great deal about mining, but he didn’t expect to have any lessons so hard as one of them was.
It was the result of his own foolishness, too. His »uncle had gone for the day to the nearest town for supplies and Teddy was left alone. He conceived the idea that it would be good fun to explore one of the abandoned .gold mines not far from his uncle’s place. There were a number of small shafts near the ridge of the mountain that had not been -worked for years and Teddy though , that he might pick up some interesting specimens of ore in one of them, rr at least have an exciting time expk ring it.
So he went to his uncle’s tool house and selected a coil of rope. It happened to be new rope, and thoroughly dry. He
j of fear he jumped for it and missed it j by two or three inches. Again and again [he jumped but came no closer to it.
Then his fear left him and he stopped I to think. Ah! That was it of course! The new, dry rope had been soaking up the wetness of the shaft and had been I shrinking as it did so. It was still shrinking, no doubt.
Teddy was in command of himself i now. He had jumped his best and could
A little girl lived with her father in the house at the bottom of h lighthouse, built on the rocks in a dangerous sea. She loved to watch the boats and : she helped to kindle the light that j would guide the sailors to safety past | ing a frightful coast. One night during a frightful storm a boat was wrecked. I The signal for help was heard at the lighthouse. Men were afraid to venture forth upon the work of rescue. This girl put courage into the hearts of the men. She lent her own strength to the work of rescue and helped to bring many a drowning soul back to life after the struggle with the storm.

BY THE SEA
Who's afraid of the dancing waves when they rise up white and high? Who’s afraid to dive through the foam as it laps the shore? Not I!
My mother calls me water nymph, my daddy calls me fish I’d splash in the ocean all the day, if I could have my wish.
Perhaps when I am grown big and can do what I please I’ll be a life guard on the beach and watch the rolling seas,
But while I’m little mother says: “Don’t go out too far—
Stay where you can see the sand—you’re safe just where you are!” And though I’d like to go away and leave the shore from sight I think I’ll do what mother says, for mother’s always right!

A DIFFERENT WAY TO SERVE WATERMELON
If your family finds whole or half slices of watermelon rather clumsy to serve at the dinner table try this fashion of serving.
Chill the melon some hours before using.
Just before dinner, cut the melon into inch slices. (If only a half of a melon is needed cover the cut end of the half with paraffine paper and put back into the icebox immediately.)
Trim the rind off the slices.
Cut each slice crossways into inch sized pieces.
Pile the pieces into frappe cups and set on a try in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve carry the tray at once to the table and serve. Watermelon should be very cold when eaten.
This makes a very dainty, pretty company dessert and is very little trouble.

A Flashlight Without a Battery
It used to be that when people had to go about at night they had to carry a candle that dripped grease on the floor, or an old laVitern that smoked everything. That was before flashlights were invented, but now it is easy to slip one of them in your pocket, and all you have to do is to push a little button arrangement, and the room is flooded with light; and it is a good light too, almost like the sun light.
And when you want to shut it off all you have to do is push the button | the other way, and it is dark again. If I it had not been for Edison, who invented the electric light bulb, we would still be dropping tallow on the rugs, and smoking up the walls. We think of this as a very wonderful invention—and so it is, but there is a certain little beetle that looks something like a squash bug, that never goes out courting, without carrying a perfectly good flashlight. His is even more marvelous than the one Edison invented for no one has ever been able to figure out just exactly how it works.
Now a real flashlight has a small storage battery, that carries a current to a wire loop set in a glass bulb; the current heats the wire to a white heat, and that is the light.
But in the flashlight that our beetle carries, there is not a sign of a battery, wire or bulb, and the only thing that we can see is a yellow spot on the creature’s abdomen. When it wants a light, it does something, but nobody knows what, and the yellow spot gives out a soft mellow light. A curious thing about the flashlight the beetle carries, is that though the light is under perfect control ,and can be turned on and off at will, there is not a particle of heat generated—it is light without heat, something that seems impossible.
- Ages and ages before Edison’s great-great-great-grandfather was born, the lightning-bug had been using a flashlight that does not cost a cent and that never gets out of order, and he has been doing it in a matter-of-fact way, as if there was nothing mysterious, or wonderful about it. It came just as natural for him to use it as it is for us to breathe, and it is doubtful if he was ever conscious of pressing, or releasing the button—he just did it without thinking.
The lightning-bug, as we know him, is only about half an inch long, with blackish head and body, with markings of red and yellow; and to see him crawling over a leaf in the daytime, one would never guess that he carried with him about as dependable a lighting plant as there is. His lights never go out during a thunder storm, neither do they ever so much as flicker.
On summer evenings when it gets too dark for the bees and butterflies to find the flowers, and when the bats are zigzagging through the shadows, the lightning bug crawls to the edge of a leaf, switches on the light, and sails I	f
j slowly off in the air, seldom rising'1 er than five or si:: feet, and for ._ hour or so give an exhibition tha well worth seeing. He does not keeP light turned on all ,the time, bu ^ hovers for a" instant, gives,a fl flash, and as he switches it off he
i rapidly.	. H,k) et
Andsthat is rather a smart tny» the next instant after a flash, helS . eral feet away, so if you tried to c ^ t him in your h^nds—he would n ^ there, but is somewhere else Be i;i ready for another flash.	^
People think his flashes are a ^ signal code to his sweetheart, 80^ they can .find each other in the n but, of course, that is all guesS, ^is „ as he never said so himself »n ^ the only one that knows.

ANIMAL REBUS
Two animals arc represented in each picture. Can you guess what the six animals are?
He Moved Entirely Around The
took a small hammer, matches and a lantern. Then he set out for a shaft down which he had peered one day while out hunting.
He reached it without mishap and tied one end of the rope to a small tree growing close to the mouth of the shaft. Then he tied a knot in the other end of the rope and let the coil drop into the hole. The shaft was not perfectly vertical, but went down at a steep slant, so that his rope lay along the slope of it.
Teddy could not quite make out the bottom of the shaft and so could not whether or not his rope was long enough. He did hot’know* enoufen to w the shaft Tor gas but fortunately for him there was none in it. So without any furthe : cautions he twisted one leg around th j rope, grasped it with his hands an ! started down, his lighted lantern sw inging on his arm.
IV lip; .:<$ down and down until at least lie utld see the bottom and the end cf t’.ie rope at the same time. That is, he could see water. How deep It might be he had no way of telling. The knot in the end of his rope hung about t! 132 feet from the surface of the water.
.“Humph!” he muttered to himself. "I didn’t count on water but I might have known it would be there, seeing how wet the sides of the shaft are*,Wel!, if it isn’t more than a foot or two deep I can hang from the end of the rop? and get my feet on hard bottom."
Cans iously he let his feet into tin water, gasping at the coldness of it. In he went until with the water almost rp to his hips, his feet struck hard rock le could stand there and just com ,'oitably reach the knot in his rope.
He let go the rop3 and held his lantern high. He had landed in a chamber abort '0 feet square with a tunnel lead-in: fro. a one side of it. The black water covered the floor of the chamber and extended into the tunnel.
‘The floor must be solid here,” he thought. “I’m going to move around a bit. Whew, but this water’s cold!"
He stepped out carefully. The floor though a little uneven, seemed solid and he moved entirely around the chamber, examining the walls. Here and there he chipped off a bit of rock that had glittering specks in it, and dropped the chps in his pocket. Then he turned towards tl^ye tufinel.
"I don’t see why the floor shouldn’t be smooth and solid in there, too,” he thought. ‘‘Anyhow, I’ll go in a little ways.”
He had gone perhaps ten feet when his foot slipped into a hole and he went under, dropping his lantern and hammer. The lantern, of course, went out and disappeared with the hammer into the depths of tho hole.
Teddy came up swimming vigorously. He had floated several feet, further along the tunnel but a dim light showed him where its mouth tfas and he swam towards it. In a moment he reached the edge of the hole and could walk again. Dripping wet and shivering with cold, he made his way rapidly as he could back to his rope. By the light that penetrated the shaft he could just make it out. He reached for it, indent ur/on climbing out of there as swiftly as he could. But the rope hung well beyond his grasp!
He coulc’ hardly believe it at first. Wlmt could have raised • the rope? Straining hij eyes he gazed at it. It hung just as he had left it but it was undoubtedly shorter. In a little panic
Chamber, Examining The Walls.
I not reach the rope so ae knew there j was no use wasting his strength in more jumping. He must contrive some way : to reach the rope by climbing up to it or lengthening his reach. He examined the wall of the shaft. It was smooth and j slippery and offered no foothold. He ' forged about the chamber. His feet struck- nothing that he could move below the rope to stand on. And he dared not venture into the tunnel again. He went back and stood below the rope, thinking.
What had he about him that might : help? Some small chips of a stone, a smal knife, some coins, a match-box, a blH-foM, Ho help there. His belt1 He took it off and considered it. He swung it up. It would reach the rope but ; hew could he get it fastened to the rope? He must find a way! Long before any searchers could find him he would have succumbed *0 the chill of the icy ! water and would have slipped below j the surface.
He thought intensely. And finally had an idea. It was worth trying anyhow.
In the dim light he lifted first one J foot and then the other and painfully i removed his shoes. He took the laces i out of them and put them in his pocket. He tore his handkerchief into strips and tied them together, He tore some strips off his shirt to make more cord of the same sort. Then he placed his shoes sole to sole with the belt between them, so that it hung down from the toes of j the shoes with the buckle between'the ! insteps.
Next he slashed holes into the toes of the tippers and, passing some of the cord through them, he bound the shoes together at the toek so that they held the belt firmly between them. Then he put one of his chips of stone between the heels a little to one side. He bound the shoes together at the heels as he had at the toes.
Now he had his shoes swung at the end of his belt in such a way that there was a space about two inches across between their insteps, with a smaller space about an inch across between their heels. Turning to face the rope, j he began to toss this queer contrivance up at the knot in the end of the rope.
Again and again he threw it, only to i have the shoes drop back into his hands each time. He was very tired and 1 j almost ready to give up when at last his | ; idea worked. The knot slipped between jjhe insteps of his shoes, with the rope j above passing between the heels, and j there his shoes hung with a heel of each I shoe pressing down on either side of j the knot. He pulled cautiously on his j belt. Everything held firmly. Gradually ! he increased his pull until he was bear-! lug his whole weight on the belt. He ; went up one foot, two feet, and his i hands closed on the rope!
In his exhausted condition it was I hard climbing out. He went up slowly, stopping to rest wherever he could get i a little support from the slanting side of the shaft. Finally lie drew himself I -nit and the sunshine had never felt so j good before. After a while he drew up i his shoes, put them on and weakly : made his way home.
That night, after his uncle had heard i his story and examined his shoes, heN , said to Teddy:
"Well, my boy, I won't scold you for j your foolhardiness because you've had : your lesson. But I will say that after you’ve learned something about mines : and all that goes with them you ought to make a handy man to have below ground. That was a might clever idea of yours, Teddy." I

Often the enthusiastic home craftsman while at his camp or summer Kome misses his basement shop and the cozy times he enjoyed in making things. If our friend would take a small kit of tools that may easily be stowed in his car or launch he would find many things to make of birch, poplar and other woods that 'grow around the camp. For example this drying rack is a good project to begin with.
Most of the woods he will cut are green; they should be roughly cut to length say a month before they are to I be used and stacked in a good drying I place. In any case the pieces must be : as straight as possible; stack them vertically and change end for end and turn them over to reduce danger of sagging, say twice a week.
In this rack we shall need one center post not less than 2” in diameter at the butt and 74” long; three pieces 112" x 72" and three pieces the same size and 62" long. Also fifteen pieces for

Traditions
The traditional side of college life is very interesting and makes life on the campus enjoyable. At Kent there are two classes of traditions; those pertaining to objects; and those having to do with entertainment.
In the class pertaining to objects is that tradition pertaining to the State Seal, a bronze plate at the entrance of the campus under the Prentice Memorial Gateway. It is traditional that everyone walks around the seal—never on it. It is a practice to paddle Freshmen and others everytime they walk on it until they learn, arid then they must get on their hands and knees and kiss it,
Campus Common
Another is the Campus Common, a memorial to the Kent students lost in the World War. There is an old saying that should an unkissed girl pass the cannon it would go off. The cannon has never been fired.
Letter “K”
The letter “K” on the campus behind the library is another. It was presented by the first fraternity on the campus and each year the fraternity sees that it is painted; the grass trimmed around it, and kept in good condition.
Newer Traditions
A few of the newer traditions are Leebrick Day and the burning of the Yule log at Engleman Hall. On Leebrick Day the student boby celebrates the anniversary of the induction of Dr. K. C. Leebrich as university president. The band played at the entrance of the Administration building and then the president, students, and townsmen march to the auditorium.
The program begins with the singing of the “Alma Mater” and a few selections by the A Capella Choir. This Is followed by an address by some well-known speaker. A gift is then presented to the president who then may say a few words before retiring to his office to hold a reception for the students.
The burning of the Yule Log takes place in the dormitory just before Christmas vacation. A wreath of holly is put on the burning log as a symbol of good fortune and friendliness among the girls. All lights are extinguished as the girls sing carols and watch the log burn. It is then extinguished to be burned the following year.
Social
The traditions related to social life at Kent are many. The following are some of the most outstanding. One of the most known is queenship. The traditional elections are those for the Home Coming Queen; the Most popular Man and Woman; the May Queen; and Miss Kent State. The Home Coming Queen is elected by student body in November and is presented at the Home Coming football game during recess of the teams. The band plays as the Queen is driven across the field in a large open car filled with 'flowers. The queen greets the audience.
The May Queen election is a secret one; and choice being made by competent judges. No one outside this group knows her identity until Campus Night. Last year a Duke of Kent was chosen from a group of pictures judged by Dorothy Lamour. This year a fraternity sweetheart was selected by Errol Flynn from a group of pictures presented to him.
The traditional entertainment at Kent include Park Barrel Night, Fun Fest, Campus Nite and Home Coming Pep Rally.
At Park Barrel Night various organizations on the campus present comedy skits and comedy acts. Loving cups are given for the best skit. At this affair organizations imitate the profs or make fun of themselves, in fun of course.
Similar to this is the annual funfest held around Xmas at which the skits presented are more of the serious nature and not comedy. This includes
PUZZLE ANSWERS
1. (ELI PH ant)- ELEPHANT; (Ant elope) -ANTELOPE.

3. (Tie ger)-TIGER; (Can gay ROO)-KANGAROO.
songs, tin-pan bands, piano playing, and satires. The prize winner last year was a bitter satire portraying the spectacle of college friends meeting in trenches and the hardships they faced.
Campus Nite
Campus nite is one of the affairs looked forward to by all students. It begins with the crowning of the May Queen. The ceremony this year was most beautiful. In front of the Administration Building 4 trumpets heralded the procession of May Queen candidates (10 in all, as yet no one knows who the queen is). In the low light of dusk and amid a few raindrops the candidates came down the steps covered on either side by beautiful bridal wreaths: The girls then stand before the high white throne waiting for the president of the student council to introduce the queen. The chosen one steps from the ranks and is escorted by two little flower girls to the throne where she is crowned and a beautiful blue velvet cloak is put on heh The attendants sit on either side of her to watch the traditional maypole dance performed by coeds in colorful formals. Campus nite is well under way but there is plenty more. A parade with the Queen the band and all the organizatins followed. This was more than one mile long and represented various conventions and organizations on the campus; war scenes, queens, and other exhibitions. The entries are judged and winners presented at the dance which follows. The climax of the evenihg is the Sorority-Fraternity Sing under the stars.
Homecoming
Homecoming is another tradition lasting a couple days. A play is presented in honor of the old grads. A pretty queen is elected to reign over the Homecoming Football game and dance, j On the eve of the homecoming game an effigy of the opponents football team is burned in a big bonfire. Students gather to sing and cheer. After the bonfire a “Snake Dance” is held thru the town. I guess you can imagine a whole string of college students (about 2000) going thru the town.
Rowboat Regatta A Rowboat Regatta is also a yearly feature. It takes place on the Cuyahoga shores. The band furnishes music to make the end colorful. A cup is given to the organization winning.
Mountain Gals Kent State coeds turn mountain gals each year and chase hill-billy men folks all over the campus. It sure am fun folks. Yes! Sadie Hawkins Day is observed on K. S. U.’s campus. Students dress dogpatch style and carry jugs or guns (unloaded of course; or lead pigs around. Sure enough. There were plenty of squealing pigs on the campus. Some 1500 dancers in costume form a grand march. A noted newspaper man chooses the best representatives of the characters in the comics. Among the prizes are jugs of cider. Sure enough all of them folks are represented: Lil Abner, Daisy Mae, Sadie Hawkins, Lonesom’ Polecat, Maryin’ Sam and even Hairless Joe.
Such is college life. Each new day brings new adventures. It would take a book to write about everything.

DEAR EDITOR:
As the old tradition goes—better late than never—so here it goes to the minds of other juveniles because of this late column by your juvenile friend.
Dear juveniles, the time has come to be very frank with you. Several of our monthly writer^ have been encouraging members of the juvenile department to begin writing for our grand paper, the Nova Doba. I wonder how many of you gave it a serious thought. Did you? If you didn’t, then do) it right now—begin thinking about yojur next juvenile article. Especially new writers from other states. Perhaps if you write even a small article your lodge can take more interest and will help you popularize the lodge and begin having big affairs, etc. What about it unknown friends? We’d all love to have you right in with our own set of social notes and chats about different things through writings.
In the ne^r future you can even take such a great interest in your lodge that you might be a delegate to a Juvenile Convention. Then you would begin meeting all the writers and more AFU friends at the convention. It would be a wonderful experience— take it from one who knows. And now unknown members of our AFU what about sending an answer to my plea to begin writing your promised articles for our own Juvenile Page which in the future will be something kreat; wonderful to start young members of the AFU with a fine and swell spirit. After all we will be the next generation to rule the AFU so begin taking an interest now for fun, some swell times, and promote some social culture from us.
Steady writers—don’t forget your monthly articles. It also seems that some are slowing down. What is happening, friends? Don’t let some little thing upset you so. Come on and hang on to the tails of the Magic Carpet.
Wish to announce Joe Kochevar of Park City, Utah as the first person to take advantage of my offer for an award by writing an article from the unknown state. So the gift will be on its way soon, Joe and thanks ever so much for opening the doorways out of Utah

On Saturday, July 26, 1941 went to West View Park where I had the pleasure of meeting one of our Juvenile delegates Miss Dolores Arch from Pittsburgh. The main program, held in the late afternoon in the Park Stand was as follows: the master of ceremonies, Dr. F. J. Arch, our Supreme Medical Examiner of AFU. National Anthem, Mrs. Isabelle C. Arch; address of welcome, Frank Bolte; accordion duet; Bled singing society; Rev. Matthew F. Kebe; Savice Singing Society; Prešeren Junior Singing Society; C. D.

Until then, so-long.

ELY, MINNESOTA DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES:
I’m writing this month’s article sitting on the steps of the Old High School building in Ely where I’m waiting for my sister Margaret to return from Girl Scout camp (and to act as baggage man for her). I thought while waiting for the scouts to arrive it would be a good time to write my article to the juvenile page, so I’ve brought all the needed writing facilities with me.
There are a little boy and girl sitting here by me who are also waiting for their sister to return from camp. They have impatience written all over their face. I suppose that they’ve been waiting for quite some time. Well, I'm glad that I’ve got something to keep me busy while waiting.
It’s so nice and cool here in the shade. Over in the beautiful Washington School building (where delegates to previous conventions held their meetings) I see that they are busy working, putting new seats in the auditorium.
I know that it will be very nice when it is finished.
Well to get on witA my article, first of all I want to congratulate each and every person who has qualified as a delegate to the Fourth Juvenile Convention—both regular and honorary delegates. And now that you have qualified don’t hesitate about coming to Ely for the convention for to all those lucky delegates who attend, the convention will always remain in their memories as something outstanding— something never to be forgotten. You that attend, will be able to come back with a fine report for your lodge as to what work was accomplished at the convention—not only work, but also the high spots of entertainment enjoyed by the delegates.
So I sincerely hope that upon returning from the convention each and j every delegate will be able to say that August 15th, 16th, and 17th, were three i of the happiest days ever spent and that .they will be filled with the resolve to be among thOoe present again at the next convention.
I think that all those who were candidates in the New Name Campaign but who did not succeed, should also receive congratulations. Many may have worked harder than the qualified delegates but for many reasons may not have qualified. I know the AFU greatly appreciates your efforts in securing new members and I hope that ail who did not succeed in qualifying as a delegate will have better luck next time.
I had a pleasant surprise the other day when one of our juvenile writers came to visit me. She introduced herself as Rose Yartz of Chisholm, Minnesota. Seeing that she is also a writer to our juvenile page she thought it would be nice to come and see me while in Ely. As soon as she told me her name I remembered having read articles by her in the Nova Doba. Now I can say that I have made another acquaintance through writing to the paper. I found Rose to be a charming I girl and an interesting conversationalist. How about having an article in the paper next month Rose (or a story— you had a good one in a few months a«-o). Now that we’ve met I’ll take a spccial interest in your letters. If I ever come to Chisholm I’ll drop in to see you, Rose.
I think the articles Angeline Geržin has in the Nova Doba are so very in-1 teresting. Let’s continue sending them ; in Angeline and how about writing to the juvenile page?
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Irving Matson of San Diego, California
on the birth of their baby boy. Mrs. Matson is a sister to Irene Pavlich of Soudan, Minnesota.
My mother’s cousin, Mrs. Mary Mandel and her son Charles of Wickliffe, Ohio were in Ely for a visit with our family last week. My mother hadn’t seen her cousin for thirty years so you can just imagine how delighted they were to see each other.
The day before they left, my aunt Mrs. Joseph Grahek invited us to spend the day at her cabin on White Iron Lake. The day would have been perfect what with boating and swimming except for one thing. Mrs. Mandel, my mother and I were going to go for a boat ride—and while getting in the boat moved and one of the party fell in the water. After the person was out of the water the quickest and most convenient thing to do was for someone to go to town for dry clothes. So while someone drove to town for dry clothes, the soaked victim sat in the cabin all wrapped up in a bed spread. Ha! Ha! The party who fell in had enough boating for the rest of the day, you can be sure.
Our Ely drum and bugle corps, state champions, are going' to St. Paul, Minn., in a few weeks to defend their title at this year’s American Legion Convention held in that city. The drum major for the drum and bugle corps is Harold J. Dillon. I hope that they come back with the championship again this year.
As you have seen in the Nova Doba, Mr. Frank Tomsich, our assistant supreme secretary, has resigned his position as secretary of Lodge 1 in Ely. He was a very good secretary—one in a million. Our new secretary is Joseph Kovach. One look at him shows that he is a hard working, ambitious man and that he is well fitted for his new job. Mr. Kovach lives just across the street »from our house.
When my mother returned from Virginia, Minn., last week she told me that she became acquainted with one of the nicest young ladies that she ever had the privilege of meeting. It was Mrs. Joseph Milkovich’s sister Helen. My mother said that she met Helen at the Virginia bus station and that all the way from Virginia to Ely they had a very interesting conversation. I found out that mother didn’t exaggerate at all about Helen for the next day when I was at the Milkovich home I met Helen. She is a very delightful person to know. She is going to be a teacher and attends a teacher’s college at St. Paul Minn. Mrs. Milkovich attended the same college as Helen and taught several years before her marriage. So you see teaching runs in the family.
Sunday my aunt Mrs. Joseph Grahek invited the Frank Gornick family of Soudan, Minn., and our family to spend the day at her cabin. We had a very pleasant time. The day ended with a delightful motorboat ride given us by Mr. Joseph Klun, Jr. Thank you, Mr. Klun. Thanks also to my aunt for the delicious supper. It couldn’t have been better.
Well the big event—the Fourth Juvenile Convention is just around the ( corner. Everyone is just counting the j days. I cat) imagine (at least I am), g Now I’ve just been seeing the delegates 1 pictures in the paper and reading ar- ( tides by them but in a few weeks I 1 will be actually meeting them and con- \ versing with them. So until I see you ] all at the convention this is “so-long” . from your Ely correspondent.

3EAR EDITOR AND READERS:	,
Here is my second article in the ieries' about Kent State University. \jext week my article will be about the ;ports. So until next time, a happy vacation to you all.
Traditions and Activities at K. S. U. Every Freshman who dons a kelly >reen skull cap on the campus begins ;o look about for traditions and acti-zities, for he wants to have fun at college and not all work. Anxiously he starts his registration, but after hours }f standing in line, physical examination and other preliminaries his hopes ire a little scattered, “so this is college, is it?”
Freshman Week
A Freshman’s fun begins with traditional “Freshman wee k.” The “greenies” have to find the green flag hidden .somewhere on the campus. The lucky freshman to find it receives as a reward permission to remoye his hat before the others, who must wear them for several months, or as the Sophomore class sees fit. One evening the Freshmen are assembled to learn the “Alma Mater” and other school songs. A get-acquainted party is also held. At this party the Freshmen are put into alphabetical groups and to each group are given several packs of kelly green paper. With this paper the group must get together and plan some sort of exhibit with it. Some groups make paper j dresses and dance; another may have; a wedding using the paper as a veil and 1 dresses; some groups spell out the name of the University. There are so many different things done it Is impossible to list them all Here. A prize is given for the best group—lollipops or tootsie rolls. Following the crepe paper ceremony, a dance is held for the students to get them to know ec.cr.1 other. Refreshments are then served. After Freshman week is over the 1100 newcomers begin to look for other traditions and activities.
ber of the AFU in Gowanda who also graduated is Mary Bezeliak. Mary is a graduate of the Cattaraugus High School and I must also mention that she was valedictorian of the class. Congratulations, Mary.
Reading all about it in the paper and hearing about the good time the Betsy Ross gang had on their recent streetcar ride, Catherine Cinkole of Cleveland, who was visiting here re-fcently, decided we would have something similar in style. Since Gowanda doesn’t have streetcar lines it was decided to have Samson’s Grocery Truck as our means of transportation with Stanley Korbar as the chauffeur. Where was our destination? Oh yes, Dayton Hotel which is a few miles from Gowanda. There weren’t very many of us in it but still the truck seemed to groan for help because of the terrific load. Was it going to make the Dayton Hill? Everybody was worried and wondering whether they would have to jump out and push it but the Chevy made it and again all was forgotten but the singing. Those who enjoyed themselves and produced such wonderful h-a-r-m-o-n-y were Jennie Klance)-, Elvina Korbar, Melia Selan, Amelia Bratosh and yours truly from Gowanda, and our leader from Cleveland, Catherine#Cinkole. We nearly sang ourselves hoarse and sang every Slovenian song that our so-perfect Slovenian language would permit, and I can tell you that we nearly murdered it. After we had enough of Dayton we came back and enjoyed ourselves in the Slovenian Hall from there some of us still went bumming while others had to go and catch lip on their beauty sleep. From what I hear from Cleveland it must have been a humdinger of a streetcar ride and everyone must have enjoyed themselves immensely. We all had a wonderful time 'here and we must thank Mr. Samson for letting us use the truck that evening and I might as well say morning.
The Slovenian trio from Gowanda consisting of Sophie, Jfty, and Mary aren’t doing badly. Heard them at the Slovenian Hall and they produce a wonderful melody. What are “Mish” Strauss and Joe Bohinc? Your instructors girls?? Later in the afternoon the trio brought in Harry Yezek and Bob Palcic who play the accordion and clarinet respectively and everybody went to town on the Slovenian polkas. At first we thought they brought in some Cleveland orchestra. Also heard Joe Sternisha play his accordion and not doing bad. Keep it up boys and as for the trio you’re not doing bad either.
The Slovenian Hall looks a lot better now that it has received a new coat
paint. Wish to thank all the helping hands. The new sign on the hall also makes it look more attractive.
The first Slovenian picnic of the year will be held at Mentley’s Grove on August 2nd and 3rd. There will be dancing both days and there will be plenty of refreshments on hand. Admission is only ten cents and so here's hoping to see you all present at this grand affair.
It looks like I’ll have to be concluding my last letter for the juvenile page. It was wonderful writing letters for the juvenile page and I always have and shall enjoy the articles of others. I must also thank you for the many awards given to me during the years of writing. I appreciate it very much. Don’t think I’ll be leaving the paper forever, but whenever I receive some news I’ll still continue to write. As I must be departing I wish all the delegates the best of luck at the convention; and although a little late, happy birthday Little Stan!

(Bon Voyage Violet! This article wlls fine. Now let’s have some good Gowanda news for the English section—and thanx for congrats!—Little Stan.)
BARBERTON, O.
DEAR EDITORS AND MEMBERS:
First of all I want to thank you very much for the dollar check I received.
Barberton had a 50th anniversary, and girls of all nationalities tried to be Miss Barberton. A Slovenian girl, Margaret Okolish, had the most votes .-.0 she got to be Miss Barberton.
We had a big parade here Fourth of July and was it long. There were thirty-five thousand people lined along the roads; you could hardly walk on the sidewalks.
Every night from the first to the fifth at the Barberton Stadium they had a program and Miss Barberton was always there. Boy! was she dressed pretty. She was dressed just like she was getting married. I was looking for the groom but he didn’t appear.
My mother and dad went to Eveloth, Minn., June 27. They weren’t in Minnesota for twenty-five years. Everything up there was all different, they said, since they left there. The schools and parks are very big compared with before. One day they went in a bakery shop for doughnuts, and guess who they saw! Little Stan’s best girl. Boy! she is really pretty.
' 1 almost forgot to tell you about the stork arriving. First the stork came to Frank J. Novak, June 25 a baby boy. The second baby boy was born to Jacob p. Novak, July 15. This is all I have for this time and before I close I want to thank you for the dollar check I received. So-long until next time.

Congratulations to all our N. D. writers for their fine articles which appeared in print in June!
Now that the campaign of the Fourth Juvenile Convention is over many of our members of the juvenile department ■are looking toward that convention which will be held in Ely within fifteen days—imagine* I’m sure that our Hpnor Roll students and same holds true for sister, both Florence and Margaret Startz—that they will do a very good job in covering notes of the affair for the three days ... What about it Dolly and Marge? ... Also hope to see article about the J. C. by our Montana gal, Mary F. Smith ... and to our supreme trustee’s daughter, Marie Vranichar— I’m sure she’ll have a few columns... You won’t have to worry about Dorothy Martinčič, another grand writer of the N. D., I bet she is planning it already, And from Export, Rose Kuznik will come crashing to the paper with news —I guess she will have so much... I can just imagine Rudy Okoren writing already and telling us something about his jalopy too ... What about it, Rudy? Anyhow, I’m very sure that all the juvenile delegates who do attend the convention will have very much to write about. When they leave after a wonderful vacation their hearts and memories will • only be filled with thoughts of the AFU They can forget it in their minds but when they’ll write it down in words, it will be read by thousands and remembered. So best of luck on Convention news, Juvenile delegates, and a pleasant trip. Even though I didn’t make that wonderful thing of being a delegate, I still have high hopes of meeting: you all out there and really enjoying some heart to heart talk with all of my Juvenile Page friends and members of the American Fraternal Union.
And new members of the AFU don’t forget to write in to our paper, telling us how you like the organization and regular members, don’t forget YOUR articles. With best regards until we meet in person, I remain Yours

GOWANDA, N. Y. DEAR EDITOR AND MEMBERS:
In the years 1928 and 29 many of us ■attended school for the first time. How different everything was because now we had to get busy and learn a little of something. Many a time the teacher would say study hard and by the time 1941 rolls around you'll be ready to leave school forever. We would just sit back and groan, “That’s a long way off.”
Well here it is 1941 and another graduation has gone -down in history and many young people have gone out into the world seeding new interests of life. Eleven Slovenians graduated this year from the Gowanda High School. 1 believe this is the most that ever 1 graduated from one class. Here are the ■ names of the Slovenian graduates and j also their occupations at the present time; Joseph Sternisha, a chemist at the tannery; Leah Stavania, plans to \ enter nurses training school in the fall j (at present helping out on her fathers ^ farm); Frank Stibil, working in a defense factory in Buffalo; Elvina Kor-!'bar, clerk and bookkeeper at Samsons Grocery (probably also a nursemaid to George who is still on the sick list), Robert Palcic, planning to enter Fre-donia Normal this fall probably as a musician; Dorothy Steklasa, planning to be a stenographer (can be seen busily engaged in her baby brother), Harry Yezek, working at the glue factory, Olga Srabec, planning to have a Mrs, placed before her name sometime in August; Raymond Huch, I’m uncertain about his job but he was planning to become a stenographer; Albert Vončina, working at the tannery; and last of all is yours truly who is still looking for a steady position but by the looks of it I'll probably land up as an ole1 farmer, by cracky.
Out of these eleven graduates eighl are members of either Pathfinders 01 St. Joseph’s lodges AFU. Another mem-
vati delavci in delodajalci. Dalje imamo denarne zavode, katere krije federalna zavarovalnina, ter vsled tega ni več nevarnosti “zmrzline,” katera je tekom zadnje depresije zadela milijone pridnih in varčnih ljudi. Kdor danes varčuje, ni več v nevarnosti, da bi izgubil svoje prihranke na kaki “najboljši” banki. Potem so tu federalni 'bundi različnih denominacij, ki so prav tako varni, kot je varen denar Zedinjenih držav, in poleg tega prinašajo še nekaj obresti. Ti bondi so absolutno varna investicija, če je sploh varna kakšna investicija na svetu.
* * *
' : /
Možno je, da pride do nekolike inflacije, to je, da bo nakupna vrednost denarja nekoliko manjša kot je zdaj. Toda znano je, da kongres že pripravlja postave, ki bodo preveliko inflacijo preprečile. Prihranki so torej primeroma varni, bodisi, da so naloženi na bankah, ki so pod federalno zavarovalnino, bodisi da so vloženi v federalne bonde. Torej je priporočljivo, da vsak nekoliRo hrani v teh časih velike industrijske aktivnosti, da mu bodo prihranki v pomoč ob času, ko bo manj dela in zaslužka. Starejši ljudje morda storijo pametno, če vložijo del svojih prihrankov v kake nepremičnine, na primer v kake male farme, kjer bodo imeli ob priliki depresije streho »in nekaj prilik za preživljanje. Ni pa priporočljivo se preveč zadolžiti, ker nihče ne ve, kako dolgo bo industrijska aktivnost z dobrimi zaslužki trajala.
Predvsem pomnimo, da je naša republika gospodarsko najbolj trdna dežela na svetu. Njen denar ima največjo vrednost med vsemi valutami, kajti za varnost tega denarja jamči vsa ta ogromna dežela z vso svojo nepre-kosijivo gospodarsko in davčno močjo, če niti ne štejemo njenih zalog zlata. In federalni bondi imajo isto vrednost in isto varnost kot jo imajo bankovci Zedinjenih držav. De»ar Zedinjenih držav bo ostal veljaven, dokler bo ta republika ohranila svojo neodvisnost, pa če propade denar vseh drugih držav sveta. In mi smo prepričani, da si bo znala ta republika ohraniti svojo neodvisnost tudi v najhujši svetovni vihri, in, četudi po sedanji vojni objame težka kriza ves svet, bo ta republika še vedno najtrdnejša in najboljša na svetu. Kdor dvomi nad žila-vostjo in gospodarsko močjo Amerike, je ne pozna, in ni vreden, da je njen državljan.
* * *
V časih velike industrijske aktivnosti in dobrih zaslužkov, bi si moral vsak misleč človek na en ali drugi način nekaj prihraniti za tako zvane deževne dni. Med te prihranke spada tudi zavarovanje pri dobri podporni organizaciji. Tako zvane deževne dni prinese tudi bolezen ali smrt v družini. Mladi ljudje navadno ne mislijo na bolezen in smrt, zato je dolžnost starejših, da jih opozorijo na vrednost zavarovanja za take slučaje. V teh časih vsak, ki dela in zasluži, lahko pogreši majhen prispevek za podporno organizacijo, in, ko bo nekaj časa član, bo spoznal njene dobre lastnosti ter je ne bo pustil, četudi bo moral kake druge manj važne izdatke žrtvovati, d« ostane zavarovan za primer nesreče. Bratje in sestre, priporočajte vašim prijateljem, posebno mladim, našo Ameriško bratsko zvezo. Organizacija je finančno trdna, je nepri-stianska in nudi različnih vrst zavarovalnino. Tako organizacijo kot je Ameriška bratska zveza lahko z mirno ve:;tjo priporočite vsakemu.

V TEH VROČIH DNEH
t#	------------
Živimo v vročih dneh, fizično in duševno. Naravna vročina sezone črpa naše telesno moči in nas utruja, kar vpliva tudi na našo duševnost, da težko mislimo in s težavo sledimo dnevnim razvojem. K temu pride še vpliv svetovne vojne situacije, ki pljuska vedno bližje naši republiki. Ni čudno, če nas tudi to razburja, nas utruja in nam preprečuje zbrano misliti. To je eden izmed vzrokov, da si tako težko predstavljamo splošno situacijo in da tako težko sledimo tistim, Id nam jo skušajo predstaviti z govorjeno ali pisano besedo. Dolge govorance in dolgi članki nas izmučijo. Zato naj tu sledi nekaj kratkih, času primernih odlomkov.
Starokrajska Slovenija, odkoder smo se priselili v to svobodno republiko, je razkosana in paralizirana kot še j ni bila v svoji zgodovini. Niti za časa turških napadov j niso bili Slovenci tako terorizirani kot so danes. Le male drobce tistega, kar se danes godi v slovenskih krajih, izvemo tukaj, toda že tisto, kar izvemo-, je tako grozno, da skoro ne moremo verjeti, ft iti v najbolj divjih sanjah si nismo mogli predstavljati, da bi moglo našo rodno Slovenijo dole beti kaj tako sti žtšnega. In mi nimamo danes s to križano zemljo niti pi: menih zvez, toliko manj, da bi ji mogli za enkrat materialno ali moralno pomagati, j

Vse naše upanje kot Slovencev, kot Slovanov, kot Američanov in kot ljudi visi <3ansš na zvezdnati ameriški zastavi. Ako zmaga stran, katero z vso svojo močjo podpira naša republika, bodo uni? mi nacizem,’fašizem in torizem, in Slovenci in Slovani bodo na svoji zemlji spet svobodno zadihali in ves svet bo rešen strahotne more, ki ga danes tlači. Ako zmagata n; cizem in fašizem, bo to pomenilo smrtno temo, ne samo za Slovence in Slovane, ampak za demokracijo vsega r,veta. Tudi ta dežela, čeprav bi obdržala svojo neodvi >nost, bi se morala prilagoditi sistemu diktatur, ki bi jo obdajale, če bi v tej vojni zmagala nacizem in fašizem. Večina naših svo-
bodščin bi morala zatoniti.

Sreča, ne samo za Slovence in Slovane, ampak tudi j za demokracijo vsega sveta je te rej dejstvo, da se je našaj republika odločno postavjla za obrambo demokracije in proti diktaturi nacizma ln fašizma. In sreča je, da je ta republika tako velika, močna, bogata in zaupajoča v svojo moč. Republika Zedinjenih držav je primeroma mlada, toda izšla je zmagovita še iz vsake vojne, v katero se je zapletla. Za enkrat ta dežela še ni direktno v vojni, toda je že danes izredno važen faktor v boju proti nacizmu in fašizmu. In ta njena važnost se veča z vsakim dnem. Naj Amerika oficielno poseže v vojno ali ne, mi smo prepričani, da bo zmaga na njeni strani. Morda bo njena indirektna vojna proti nacizmu in fašizmu uspešnejša kot bi bila direktna.
*
Naše republike še ni nihče premagal, in mi srno prepričani, da je nihče ne bo. Namreč, o tem smo prepričani vsi tisti, ki poznamo njeno zgodovino, njeno ljudstvo, njeno ogromnost, njena naravna bogastva, njeno industrijo, njeno gospodarsko in finančno moč, njeno mladostno žh ljenjsko silo in njeno odločnost braniti svojo in svetovno demokracijo. Obupavati nad bodočnostjo Ameriko
morejo le tisti, ki Amerike ne poznajo.
* ¥ *
Nobenega dvoma ni, da bo po sedanji vojni, pa naj se zaključi kakor koli, splošni družabni red močno pre-i drugačen po vsem svetu. Morda v Ameriki nekoliko manj j kot po ostalem svetu, toda tudi tu -ne bo brez važnih; izprememb. In mi sinemo pričakovati, da bo predrugačen j na bolje z ozirom na povprečnega človeka., Skoro gotovo je pa tudi, da bo sedanji veliki industrijski aktivnosti sledila neke vrste depresija. Upati smemo, da bo bodoča depresija do neke meje omiljena na podlagi izkušenj, ki smo jih imeli po zadnji svetovni vojni in tekom zadnje | depresije. Prehudo gospodarski depresijo bodo deloma i preprečile primerne postave, deloma pa boljše pril ago-! ditve ljudstva samega. Na.bodočo depresijo se že zdaj ha j lažne načine pripravljamo, medtem ko na zadnjo ni nihče j računal in se ni pripravljal nanjo. '

Za ostarele delavce imamo danes starostno penzijo in za brezposelne imamo brezposelnostmi zavarovanje, česar ni bilo tekom zadnje depresije. To je neke vrste prisilnega zavarovanj^, v katerega fonde morajo prispe-j
Neki davni pregovor vzhodnih narodov je poudarjal, da je \ bolje biti črv in grizti murvino \ listje v gaju Dafne, kakor sedeti j | kot gost pri kraljevi mizi. So- j : debni italijanski vojaki pa sodi- i j jo, da je bolje biti v angleškem ujetništvu, kot se sončiti v Mussolinijevi slavi. Nedavno je neki * angleški| bataljon v Libiji pre- j pustil usodi polomljen truk zjr italijanskimi vojnimi ujetniki, £ češ, naj si fantje pomagajo, ka- r kor hočejo. «Pa so italijanski ujetniki popravili truk in na j vso ihto pridrvili za svojimi tovariši v ujetništvo. Zdi se, da italijanski vojaki vedo, 'na kateri strani je kruh z maslom namazan in da je angleško maslo ^ boljše od italijanskega.

Zdi se, da so Nemci na ruski fronti pri Smolensku našli toliko smole, da bodo še dolgo pomnili, odtod ime izhaja. Tudi ime ruskega mesta Porkov jim bo morda še v poznih letih poklicalo v spomin znano ^prostaško kletvino latinskega pokolenja.

Življenje na svetu ni vredno svojega imena, če človek nima prijateljev. Ni ravno treba, da bi človek rabil pomoči prijateljev; že sama zavest, da ima vsaj nekaj prijateljev, ga dela močnega in srečnega, ^.vtor te kolone si je dosedaj še vedno znal pridobiti in obdržati nekaj prijateljev. Toda nevarnost izgube prijateljev je za vsakega vedno pričujoča. Zato je podpisani te dni odrinil en dolar, da so ga vpisali kot prijatelja clevelandskega mestnega zverinjaka. Easy mark, saj veste. Zdaj, če bi se zgodilo, da izgubi vse dosedanje prijatelje, česar naj ga čuvajo bogovi, se še vedno lahko zateče v mestni zverinjak med afne in medvede.

NEKAJ O CLEVELANDU
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
ko, na gotov način, vsa pota ameriških Slovencev vodijo v Cleveland.
Clevelandska slovenska skupina se seveda “amerikanizira,” kar je pravilno in logično, vendar se ta amerikanizacija vrši na tako lep in lahak način, da ne povzroča posebnih težkoč niti starejšim niti mlajšim. Naši rojaki so po veliki večini ameriški državljani in se kot taki udejstvujejo v problemih mesta in države. Priseljenci so ponosni na svoje ameriško državljanstvo in tu rojena mladina se ne sramuje svojega slovenskega pokolenja, ker vidi, da se naši ljudje lahko uspešrfo merijo z vsako drugo priseljeno narodnostjo. V Clevelandu bivajo poleg “starih Američanov” tudi priseljenci skoro vseh drugih narodov sveta in Slovenci žive z njimi v dobrem in prijateljskem sosedstvu.
Letos ,se zdi, da bo tudi za župana milijonskega Clevelanda izvoljen v Ameriki rojen in vzgojen Slovenec. To je okrajni sodnik Frank J. Lausche, ki je nedavno pristal v 1 tozadevno kandidaturo in je bil dne 29. julija od lokalne demokratske organizacije odobren kot županski kandidat. Poznavalci razmer sodijo, da ima kandidat Lausche zelo dobro priliko dobiti nominacijo v septembru in biti izvoljen v novembru. Kot kandidat za župana bo resigni-ral kot okrajni sodnik. Kot sodnik, najprej mestni in pozneje okrajni, si je pridobil med prebivalstvom zelo dobir ugled. Vedno je skušal biti pošten in nepristranski in se je tudi na-pram delavstvu vedno naklonjenega izkazal.
Mesto Cleveland ima svoj poi sabni način volitve župaria. Kandidat mora najprej dobiti predpisano število podpisov na peticije, da more iti njegovo ime na1

Getting Ready for the Convention Trip
BOWLING MEETING AUGUST 26th; EVENTS SPELL SUCCESSFUL WEEK-END
By Little Stan
Cleveland, O. — Those beads of perspiration that dripped from the head^ of two funny looking clowns at the Ivan Cankar picnic last Sunday made it appear that these comics were going through the famous “Laugh Clown, Laugh” number —but in reality as they performed in the big lawn ring under a broiling sun—it was nothing but good old-fashioned sweat. Applying the greasepaint in the dressing room before the big show, it appeared the children would be more scared than entertained.
Little Stan
But as the big show went on before a record-breaking crowd, the antics and performances of the entire band of Cankar performers received a fine ovation. Bertha Erste, one of the excellent promoters of the second annual event missed the slfow; instead was confined to Charity Hospital with a throat infection. People enthusiastically received Mr. PIuth and Anton Ep-pich as the “cannibal chiefs” and their dance was one of the hit performances_of the show.

Ely, Minn. — It’s almost train-time!
The Fourth Juvenile Convention scheduled to open August 15th in Ely, Minn., Home Office City of our American Fraternal Union, is less than a week away!
99 Regular and Honorary delegates are literally counting tht hours; and are already packing up for the trip which will be full of entertaining excitement and Fun — and girls don’t forget your slacks!
For about four days, they’ll be guests of members on the Famous Iron Range of Minnesota — Nation’s Vacation Wonderland! They’ll participate in a variety of activities in this cool fresh atmosphere, and it is a foregone conclusion that they’ll enjoy every minute of it!
The program has been completed and will spring into action as soon as delegates arrive on the D. M, and I. R. railroad at 10 p. m. Friday, August 15th. Here the Ely Junior Band, under the direction of Prof. Frank V. DiNino, and headed by chic drum majorettes, nattily dressed, will burst out with welcoming music. Hundreds of citizens will throng along the station to

join hands in greeting. Minnesota delegates will be waiting at the station along with Supreme Officers of our society who will have completed their semi-an nual session.
All this will be very colorful and you can be certain that thrilling chills will run up and down your spinal column!
Alighting from the train, you’ll “fall in” with the music and joined by the entire Minnesota delegation, augmented by Juvenile members cf our society, you’ll parade up Ely’s main thoroughfare to the Home Office. Streets will be lined with people, and the welcoming acclaim will still be ringing in your ears as you are assigned your quarters during your stay here.
Minnesota is ready for you and your AFU Brothers and Sisters will spare no effort to assure you of a grand and glorious time! Our AFU members are naturally like that!
Then in rapid succession ■ your caucus meeting in the remodeled Yugoslav National Home—and you’ll be ready for the opening session on the morrow. That evening you can get around—many Elyites all set to show you the town.
Convention session next day —a sightseeing trip by boat to Beautiful Lake Vermilion in the afternoon. Back to Ely in the evening. A quiet Sunday morning; then to Eveleth for the climax—a gigantic picnic that will draw upwards of over 15,000 people and chief honor guest of the day will be Minnesota’s own Governor Harold E. Stassen. This city will be gaily bedecked and will give the dele gates and visitors another splendid welcoming ovation.
Here you’ll frolic and one event after another will keep you thrillingly “on the go!” And Monday when it’s time for departure—you’ll wonder where those four big days disappeared!
Date of this issue is August 6 —next one is August 13th—and it will be the Special Souvenir Convention Edition!
It won’t be long now—and we’ll be seeing you on the train! Enroute to Ely, Minnesota and the Fourth Juvenile Convention !
rendered exceptional performance. June Purcell, lovely little singer and dancer was well received; and take Johnny Czeh the announcer, was unbeatable. Besides there were the elephants and tigers, lions, a giraffe, and other “human” jungle beasts. It certainly was a circus of circusses.
❖ *
Besides ^he band music and specialty accompaniment fitted the bill perfectly. Who were those two sweating clowns?— John Lube and Little Stan. Tried to get Matty Anzelc to participate—but he didn’t like the smell of grease-paint! Heh! Heh!
Next event Sunday at the same place will be the annual picnic for the Slovene School sponsored by the Slovene National Home. A large crowd will be present at this annual affair for which elaborate preparations are being completed.
* *
A number of counter-acting influences teamed up with fate last Thursday night and prevented Little Stan from attending the first annual Betsy Ross Bike Ride. From the looks of things it was indicated the Ride was a success all the way around. But after faithfully promising Betsy Ross’ scribes, he would at least attend the wind-up of the affair at Holmes Avenue Hall, something came up and couldn’t go. ’S tough like that! Anyway, can’t you just picture Little Stan’s long legs trying to fit underneath the handlebars! Heh! Heh!
* *
Tuesday evening, April 26th, has been selected as the date for a meeting at which organization of a city-wide Cleveland AFU Bowling league will be effected. Little Staii Hopes that every lodge will be represented, and that one or more teams will plan to participate in the event this year. The session will be called at 7:30 p. m. in the-Nova Doba office. If you can’t make it because of work, we hope you will instruct a representative and send him up. AFU lodges in Cleveland can have one of the outstanding leagues in the city!
* #
Little Stan has been undergoing quite a gruelling cross-! examination these past few;
weeks. It’s all about his going home for the Juvenile Convention. It’s going to feel pretty good getting off on Minnesota soil after about seven months. In fact, quite a few have been wondering how come he sent the machine up so early in advance. But an advance guard is leaving Cleveland Sunday morning —bright and early, in fact just a little bit before the sun. This party will be composed of Joe Birk, Matty Anzelc, and Billy Z.	*	f
* *
Right in the middle of the column, and who should drop in but Veronica Barbie of Strabane, Pa. She came in with Elsie Desmond and her article. Her folks in Pa., ought to know that Veronica is getting along fine in Cleveland—and they should not worry!
Just learned too, that Na-predek’s and St. Martin’s of Barberton, O., split a double-header at Barberton Sunday. Billy Kern was said to be the sparkplug in the Napredek victory. Another event missed because the machine is in Minnesota.
But thanks to Joey Koprivec and Molly Champa—Matty and j Little Stan didn’t have to spend Sunday afternoon in the overheated city. Instead revelled at Cankar’s picnic with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Birk, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Svigel, and daughter. Marian Birk sang “Oh Johnny” —tho she did change the last few lines to “Oh! Stanley!” Sophie Mrack and Frances Pe-rovshek joined the group at Cankar’s Circus—and there was also Mrs. Koprivec, Matty, Mrs. Ivanusch. Chicken and tea for a late lunch as the moon crept over the trees—and that Ohio moon is almost as beautiful as the one in Minnesota! Saw Mr. and Mrs. John Lunka and Mr. and Mrs. Chas Kikel and son, latter of G. W.’s after getting rid of war-paint.
Funniest incident of the week: Little Stan had hoped no one would notice—in his get-up and all—that he was one of the clowns. But Mr. and Mrs. Prosen had him pegged—by that big smile, they said. The Minnesota boys—of which there were quite'a few had him pegged, and how! They got together just when the parade started—in a pretty open spot too—right in the middle of the

Before leaving he exended his best wishes to all members of the AFU and promised to write interesting articles on army life in future editions of Nova Doba.

Cleveland, O. — Sunday our Cleveland Napredek ball team went to Barberton to play a double-header with the St. Martin’s. Teams came out even, each winning a game. The first game, Barberton won; the final score 4-0. The second game was a thriller for Napredek’s as pitcher Billy Kern won the ball game, getting four hits: two triples and a homerun. That certainly was some swell ball playing Bill. The second score was 9-2 won by Napredek’s. After the boys of the neighborhood returned home Sunday night they raved how nice the girls of Barberton were; not forgetting the males either for their generous hospitality; and what swell people the Okolish’s were, especially Marge, who is Miss Barberton. The Napredek ball team and friends certainly had a good time and hope to make another return trip to Barberton.
*
Reports of the Bike party— they were swell. Everyone had a good time but for the second time, those two fellows forgot to keep their appointment. The B. R. members wish to thank all who came. Their next important date “to keep” is their Moonlight Boat Ride which falls on September 6. Hoping that many Clevelanders as well as members and friends of Barberton and Struthers will attend.
*
Noticed in the “Briefs Column” that Hedy Sterle, active juvenile writer of the Juvenile Page, was vacationing in Cleveland with her sister, Mrs. Duc-say. Took a ride over there Saturday, to find the charming girl cooling off on the swing. We got to be friends quickly and spent a few hours talking about everything. Soon Mrs. Ducsay returned home and I had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Learned also that she attended the first Juvenile Convention in Ely as a delegate. As I had another stop to make, I had to leave, but promised Hedy another return visit and soon.
*
Waiting for the Street car the same evening after leaving Hedy, noticed a young girl walking with a lady. This girl reminded me so much of' the Veronica Barbie of Strabane, Pa., who was a delegate to the Juvenile Convention in ’37 and ’39 and a writer of our Magic Carpet Juvenile Page. As she passed me up, I took the liberty of saying hello Veronica. No answer. She had crossed the street to get the bus. I figured I’d do the same. I stood in back of her and when the bus came and we got on I sat next to her. Rather jittery, I asked “Are you Veronica?” To my surprise she answered “Yes.” She didn’t

As inevitable as some people have come to regard our involvement in Europe’s war.
It was a thrill to all Slovenians of Barberton, Ohio, to see the highest honors of the city bestowed upon one of their own girls, Miss Margaret Okolish, daughter of Mrs. Jennie and Mr. Anton Okolish, supreme officer of the American Frater-
nal Union. We are most happy to publish the picture taken in the Auditorium just as the old maestro Ben Bernie of radio fame placed the wreath on her head and gave her a great big kiss. He announced Miss Margaret Okolish as Queen of Bar-

By Dorothy Rossa
Pres., Lodge 186, AFU
Cleveland, 0. — Old bikes and. new bikes! Small bikes and high bikes! — and some more fun for the Betsy Ross gang and their fi'iends.
We were a bit downcast when we saw the group in front of the hall last Friday — and we were even more blue when we saw the lack of bicycles. But by the time the ride actually started, more riders had appeared on the scene and it seemed that the number of bicycles increased until by the end of the ride—it was not only a large crowd, but a grand one, too!
It took a lot of hard work on the part of Frank Znidar to persuade “Flagovich” alias Stan Zagorc to rent a two-wheeler, but we certainly hand it to him when he appeared on the scene in a bicycle so high that this scribe had to use a step-ladder to reach. And like the old “one-hoss shay” Flagovich’s bike broke down before long, and it was r i g h t—left—right—the rest of the way for him.
Rožance in Training
Ivan Rožance was in pretty good training after all those bike rides to the Saturday night barn-dances.
Then there were Marty and Louis Yerick who made darned good escorts—and Baker, who couldn’t concentrate entirely on the bike. It seems there’s a small matter concerning the draft which is on his mind these days. Aristocrats Rosemary Rossa and E. J. Tomsic had a new type of bike with them. It looked pretty much like a four-wheeler to me, too. Then there was Ike Kocin, Blackie Krall, Catherine Cinkole and Rose, Tony Malavašič, Florerice Poznik and several others enjoying the ride.
We missed Elsie Desmond and the next time—we’ll make sure she’ll be there—even if we kidnap her. We also missed Little Stan who alibied his legs were too long to ride a bike— but they’re not too long to take along with you on that Moonlight Ride—Stan.
An orchid for J. P. Morgan who kept his word and attended the bike ride even though he had to go to work later in the evening. We could go right on telling you the high spots of the ride—but since Little Stan and Elsie Desmond are patiently waiting across the table in Birk’s Cafe for this finished product—we’ll continue. (Note: Article is being written on a menu.)
No siree—we’re not ready to take it slow—not yet.
Betsy Ross is still moving-onward! This time we’re inviting all of you to save Saturday, Sept. 6th for the Betsy Ross Moonlight Ride—and we’ll tell you more about this later.
Heard Judge Lausche
This evening we attended a very interesting meeting of the Cleveland Slovene Section for Yugoslav Relief in the Slovene National Home. It was a pleasure to hear many talented speakers, and even more so to hear Judge Frank Lausche sneak.

SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
$1,763,186,000 v raznih davkih. Na vsako registrirano motorno vozilo je prišlo okrog 60 dolarjev davka na leto. Ti davki so bili plačani v obliki licenc ter v davkih na gasolin in druge avtomobilske potrebščine. Federalna blagajna je dobila od tega okrog 453 milijonov dolarjev, posamezne države pa skupno nad 1300 milijonov dolarjev.
AMERIŠKO PRIZNANJE
Vlada Zedinjenih držav priznava provozorično češkoslovaško vlado v Londonu in dr. Edvarda Beneša za pravomoč-nega predsednika Češkoslovaške. Tako je bilo pretekli teden sporočeno iz Wash ingtona. Ameriška vlada priznava tudi v izgnanstvu v Londonu se nahajajoče vlade Poljske, Belgije, Holandske, Norveške Luksemburga, Grške in Jugoslavije.
RUSIJA IN POLJSKA
Med Rusijo in Poljsko je bila dne 30. julija podpisana pogodba, s katero sta se obe vladi zavezali skupno boriti za zlom Hitlerizma, nakar bo zopet v neki obliki upostavljena poljska država. Iz poljskih ujetnikov in beguncev v Rusiji se bodo formirale poljske legije, ki se bodo skupno z ruskimi armadami borile proti Nemčiji. Pogodba je bila podpisana v Lon-lonu ob navzočnosti angleškega ministrskega predsedn ika Churchilla in zunanjega ministra Edena med ruskim poslanikom v Londonu in med ministrskim predsednikom provizorične poljske vlade v Londonu.
TUŽNI BALKAN
Iz raznih ameriških časopisov in iz poročil jugqslovanske vlade v Londonu posnemamo sledeče:
Ante Pavelič, “poglaynik” Hrvatske, je izselil iz Hrvat-ske v Srbijo okrog 30,000 Slovencev. Odkod v Hrvatški so bili ti naši ljudje izseljeni, ni znano. Morda iz Bele Krajine, ki je bila prideljena Hrvatski.
Hitlerjeve horde z uprav peklensko bestialnostjo postopajo z domačim prebivalstvom v bivši Jugoslaviji, ga sramotijo in sistematično iztrebljajo. V Beogradu so nemške okupacijske oblasti dale poloviti nad 300 deklet, ki so bile šiloma poslane v hiše sramote za zabavo nemškim vojakom.
V Sloveniji je bilo ustreljenih več ducatov ljudi, ki niso hoteli ali niso znali govoriti nemški.
V Srbiji nacisti posebno brutalno postopajo s svečeniki, katere obešajo na obcestne svetilke, nakar ne dovoljujejo domačemu prebivalstvu, da bi trupla obešencev dostojno pokopalo.
Nemški vojaki v zasedeni Bolgariji uganjajo dan in noč pijane orgije, plenijo vse križem in se norčujejo iz bolgarskih narodnih in verskih običajev. Nemško vojaštvo napada bolgarske žene in dekleta in bolgarske šolarice so v taki meri izpostavljene pohotnostim nemškega vojaštva, da je nedavno moralo v tem oziru posredovati bolgarsko prosvetno ministrstvo. Pri tem je treba pomniti, da Bolgarska ni bila zavojevana, ampak se je sama prostovoljno podala pod Hitlerjevo oblast.
Nemška uradna age ncija DNB je dne 22. julija objavila, da je bilo v bližini mesta^Valje-va zaradi sabotaže postreljenih veliko število “komunističnih” in “židovskih” agitatorjev.
Blizu Cetinja so črnogorski četniki na Vidov dan likvidirali italijansko patruljo, broječo 50 mož. V Gabeli med Metkovičem in Mostarjem so hercegovinski četniki iztirili italijanski provi-antni vlak in se založili1 s potrebščinami, ki so bile namenjene italijanskim okupacijskim če-

V Nevesinju so srbski in črnogorski četniki dne 28. junija vprizorili veliko vstajo, ki jej okupacijske oblasti niso mogle streti do 12. julija. Nad upornike so bili poslani hrvatski vojaki pod Vodstvom nemških in italijanskih oficirjev.
V Srbiji so nemške okupacijske oblasti dne 31. julija dale j ustreliti 90 oseb. Nemčija je poslala v Srbijo nadaljnih 25,000j vojakov, da napravijo “mir in j red.”
V Turčijo prihajajo dan za dnem po skrivnih potih begunci j iz Jugoslavije in Grčije. V Turčijo tudi prihajajo poročila, daj vlada v Grčiji veliko pomanjkanje živil in da samo v Atenah’ podleže gladu po osem do deset | oseb na dan.
Moskovski radio večkrat ape-j lira na Srbe, Hrvate in Slovence j v Jugoslaviji, da naj ne obupa-1 jo, ampak naj vztrajajo v svo-j jem odporu proti zavojevalcem.: Radijski apeli iz Moskve so oddajani v srbohrvaščini in slo- i venščini.
Nekje na nemško-ruski fronti je bil od Hitlerjevega generalnega štaba sprejet general Slavko Kvaternik, poveljnik oborožene sile “neodvisne” Hrvatske. Sprejem je bil baje zelo hladen in Hitler se je razhudil nad Kvaternikom, zakaj Hrvati ne sodelujejo z Nemci z večjim številom svojih čet na ruski fronti. Dosedaj je šlo nad Ruse samo par tisoč hrvatskih prostovoljcev.

BIVANJE DRŽAVLJANOV V INOZEMSTVU
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
Koliko naturaliziranih državljanov je v nevarnosti zgube državljanstva, je težko reči. Mnogo ameriških državljanov še živečih v inozemstvu je tukaj rojenih in veliko število državljanov se je povrnilo v Ameriko, odkar so se vojne homatije začele v starem kraju. Vendar utegne biti tisoče takih, katerih državljanstvo je v nevarnosti. Mnogi so še v starem kraju, ker imajo težave zapustiti svoje bivališče in odpotovati v Ameriko, ker je sploh težko potovati ali ker nimajo potrebnih sredstev. Ravno vsled teh težav se skuša ukreniti nekaj v njihov prilog. — Common Council — F.L.I.S.
Razsodbe gl. porotnega odbora A. B. Z.
26-337.
Obtožba vložena po društvu št. 26 ABZ v Pittsburghu, Penn-sylvanija, proti sobratu Josephu Kroteč, članu istega društva. V obtožbi se navaja, da je obtoženi bil izvoljen za leto 1938 blagajnikom federacije naših društev v zapadni Pennsylvani-ji. Da ni ravnal pravilno z denarjem, njemu zaupanem od strani te federacije, vsled česar je nastal v blagajni priman-kljaj v vsoti $132.22. Društvo izjavlja, da je obtoženi s tem oškodoval tudi blagajno njih društva, češ, da njih društvo' je tudi del federacije oziroma solastnik blagajne federacije, in da je s takim dejanjem izlora-bil čast. katero mu je članstvo federacije poveril'o. Društvo zahteva, da glavni porotni odbor kaznuje obtoženega tako, kot to določajo naša pravila. Obtoženi je obljubil prej rečeno njegovo nepravilnost poravnati in glavni porotni odbor je sporazumno s tožiteljem, to je, z društvom št. 26, obljubil obtoženemu, da se bo z njim milostno postopalo, ako izpolni svojo dano obljubo v gotovem roku. Tajnik prej omenjene federacije poroča glavnemu porotnemu odboru, v pismu od dne 1. julija, 1941, da je obtoženi poravnal rečeno njegovo nepravilnost. Glavni porotni odbor je razsodil, da se obtoženemu naloži sledeče kazni: 1.) zapisniški ukor, 2.) da ne more biti nikdar več kandidat za nobeno uradniško mesto pri kate-rokolim društvu, federaciji, Zvezi, ali za v glavni odbor, ali za v glavni porotni odbor pri Ameriški bratski zvezi, niti ne more ravno tako biti imenovan v kak prej omenjeni urad. \

Vzrok je mladinska konvencija, na katero bodo šli trije odborniki društva. Seja je preložena samo za mesec avgust, vse druge seje se bodo vršile po navadi, to je vsako tretjo soboto v mesecu.
Veselo novico vam sporočam, namreč, da sta društvo Sv. Jožs-fa, št. 45 ABZ, in društvo Sloga, št. 166 ABZ, iz Indianapoli-! sa, Indiana, pristopila v našo' federacijo. Tako se je uresniči-! la prvotna ideja in imamo sedaj federacijo za Illinois, Wiscpn-: sin in Indiano. Jaz čestitam čla-j i nom v Indianapolisu, da so uvi-:
VOJNA SITUACIJA
Preteklo nedeljo je minilo šest tednov, od časa, ko so Nemci navalili na Rusijo. Naduti na-j ciji, katerih do takrat še ni bil \ nihče ustavil ,so obetali, da bo Rusija v šestih tednih na kolenih in da bodo Nemci gospodar-! ji v Leningradu in Moskvi, in I večina “vojaških ekspertov,” tako v Evropi kot v Ameriki, jim> je verjela. Rusi pa so napravili j grd srpasti križ preko vsega te-, ga. Ustavili so Nemce kmalu,! ko so slednji prekoračili pravo rusko mejo, in tam jih držijo že tedne, skoro na istem mestu. Sicer se vrši bojevanje skoro brez prestanka na vsej 1800 milj dolgi fronti, toda Rusi povsod vzdržijo napade in ponekod prehajajo še v ofenzivo.
Po nemških virih so se'Nemci in Finci sredi preteklega tedna bili približali Leningradu že na daljavo 45 milj, in naciji so prerokovali, da bodo mesto vsak čas zavzeli, ali pa z b.ombami razdejali. Zadnje dni pa ni nič več slišati tega bahanja in zdi se, da so Nemci še prav tako daleč od Leningrada kot so bili pred par tedni. Z ozirom na ta severni del ruske fronte je značilno, da so pretekli teden ruski letalci bombardirali Pečengo, na skrajni severni rusko-finski fronti. Po nekem švedskem poročilu se večje število angleških vojnih ladij mudi v severnem morju v okrožju Pečengo in Murmanska, kar daje misliti, da bodo od tiste strani prišli Angleži na pomoč Rusom, a]i pa da bodo'vsaj od tiste strani držali morsko zve^o z Rusijo odprto.
Značilno je, da se Nemci pritožujejo nad Rusi, češ, da se slednji poslužujejo “nepoštenih načinov” bojevanja, ko ves svet ve, da so se tekom sedanje vojne Nemci posluzili vsakega nepoštenega načina bojevanja, če jim je tako kazalo. Celo v sovražnikove uniforme oblečene vojake so vtihotapljali preko fionte, da so na ta način prelisičili brambovc^. Značilno je tudi, da so pretekli teden iz Berlina poročali, da so Rusi prešli v ofenzivo na treh sekcijah fronte in da so najhujši ruski napadi bili v okrožju Smolenska. Ako morejo Rusi vprizarjati ofenzive, pač znaei, da so napadalce ustavili in da imajo za protinapade še dosti rezerv. Značilno je tudi ,da Nemci z letalskimi na-
I deli potrebo pristopa v federacijo, in jih zagotavljam, da bo-! sta imeli vaši društvi korist od | tega, in to v moralnem in finanč-j nem oziru.
Prihodnja seja federacije bo 9. novembra 1941 v Jolietu, Ul., in, kot sporočajo od tam, bo seji sledila velika prireditev, ker bo ravno na isti dan društvo št. 66 slavilo 35-letnico svojega obstanka. Na tej proslavi bo na-J stopil kot glavnivgovornik Jan-j ko N. Rogelj, predsednik ABZ. že sedaj opozarjam vse članstvo naše federacije, da si rezervira ta dan in da gremo skupno v Joliet, da tam proslavimo lep dan pod okriljem na še'Ameriške bratske zveze.
V nedeljo 7. septembra 1941 bo športni klub chicaških društev imel piknik v Willow Springsu, pri Kegelnu; za ples bodo'igrali Omerzovi fantje. Ker gre ves dobiček za šport, vabim vse člane iz Chicaga in okolice, da pridejo in se zabavajo z mlajšimi člani naših društev. Pridite na to zabavo in pokažite, da razumete mladino in njene potrebe za šport, ker le na ta način vas bo tudi mladina razumela-ir upoštevala. Zabave bo devolj za stare in mlade, preskrbljeno bo za lačne in žejne, torej je dovolj vzroka, da vsi piidetc in pripeljite s seboj tudi svoje prijatelje, .da jih na ta način seznanite z našo dobro Ameriško bratsko zvezo.
Bitka naše kampanje je za nami, in, ko pregledujem naše zmage; se mi zdi, da bi bilo lahko veliko bolje, če bi imeli mi nekoliko več modernih in novih strojnic in kanonov. S tem mislim, da če bi se nekoliko več članov zavzelo in šlo na delo v času naše kampanje, bi bil uspeh lahko veliko drugačen. Le nekoliko truda in dobre volje l>i bilo treba, namreč, da bi člani pogledali pravila in bi tako vedeli kaj prodajajo novim članom. Imamo člane, kateri dobijo veliko članov v vsaki kampanji, torej tudi vam ne bo težko, samo če poskusite. Vabim vas, da stopite v vrste aktivnih vojakov in da pričnete dobivati članstvo v našo Zvezo.
Po navadi se morajo vojaki pokoriti poveljem in upoštevati uka?e generalnega štaba. Naš generalni štab, to je glavni odbor, je tudi ukazal, da so kampanja zaključi 30. junija. Jaz vas pa pozivam, da vi tega ukaza ne upoštevate in da greste takoj na delo in pridobivate novo članstvo kar naprej. Tu pri nas v'Chicagu se kampanja ne bo zaključila in bomo sprejeli nove člane, kadar jih pripeljete, naj bc v petek ali svetek. Vsem članom, kateri so sodelovali v pretečeni kampanji, se prav lepo zahvalim, in jih pozivam, da naj kar naprej stojijo v prvih vrstili in vodijo kampanjo vsaki dan za društvo Liberty Bell, in za večjo in močnejšo Ameriško bratsko zvezo.

Slovenski tednik Proletarec, giasilo Jugoslovanske socialistične zveze in Prosvetne matice, katerega urednik jo Mr. Frank Zaitz, je dne 16. julija, 1941 na četrti strani pod naslovom ‘‘Komentarji” po svoji stari in lisjaški navadi napisal sledeče:
“V Zed. državah so prevzeli med Slovenci vodstvo riad relifom za Jugoslavijo klerikalci in radevolje pristali v P°g°j) da naj bo pomožna akcija strogo nepolitična.” izjava Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora v Ameriki, katero je napisal glavni urednik Prosvete, Mr. Ivan Motek, in katero je soglasno sprejelo štirinajst glavnih odbornikov vodilnih slovenskih bratskih organizacij v Ameriki, nikjer ne pove, da je katera politična ali verska skupina pristala v kak izreden pogoj. V izjavi je dovolj točno in jasno povedano, da “neglede na to, kaj mislimo in delamo v svojih ožjih krogih, kaj so naši življenjski cilji in dolžnosti v zvezi z našimi vsakdanjimi aktivnost-— mi, zastopniki imenovanih organizacij, smo danes edini in nesporni glede enega smotra in ta smoter je MORALNA iN MATERIJALNA POMOČ našim bratom v stari domovini; mi smo v tem edini in nesporni, kakor so nasi bratje tamkaj danes edini in nesporni — v trpljenju in ponižanju.”
V ten g.oboko zamišljenih besedah-je izražena izrazito bleščeča lepota pravega in iskrenega človeškega sočutja do našega rodnega bi ata onkraj morja, ne da bi naglasevaii njegovo versko ali politična prepričanje.
Kadar leži pred Človekom nesrečen, lačen in duševno pobit revež, takrat ne bo vpraševal ta Človek nesrečneža po njegovem osebnem-prepričanju, ampak mu bo: pomagal z vso svojo dobrohotnostjo in znanostjo. Rad bi! tudi vedel, če bi bil danes v starem kraju Mr. Zaitz in bi tamkaj umiral od gladu, pa bi videl človeka, ki mu prinaša kruh, a:i bi ga vprašal, če je kruh klerikalen ali socialističen? Prav gotovo bi vzel ponujeni kruh s solzami \ v očeh in s hvaležnostjo v srcu, da so še ljudje na svetu, ki v narodni katastrofi pozabijo na vse, da ohranijo pri življenju svojega rodnega brata.
Vodstvo slovenske sekcije Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora v Ameriki je danes v rokah vodilnih slovenskih bratskih organizacij, ki potom svojih zastopnikov nesporno in edino vodijo te humanitarne naloge. Nobeden posamezni glavni odbornik si ne prisvaja pravice do strankarskega vodstva, ker po mojem skromnem mnenju so vsi dovolj iskreni in pošteni, dovolj tolerantni in inteligentni, da bi se spozabili tako daleč, da bi omadeževali svoj najsvetejši notranji čut z brezobzirnim in hudobnim strankarstvom.	/
V velikih zgodovinski časih nam je potreba tudi duševno velikih ljudi, katerih ne motijo sence vsakdanjosti. Naša ppniožna akcija ima vzvišene in humanitarne naloge in namenSfoo ftafenn se lahko^cfovek z malo dušo spodtakne, toda ubiti jih ne more. Poizkusili so že drugi, toda nikoli niso uspeli.
Kdor bo hotel danes namenoma s svojo osebno' zlobnostjo zavirati potek te pomožne akcije, za katero stojijo največje slovenske skupine v Ameriki, za katero pišejo vsi drugi slovenski časopisi v Ameriki, ne bo imel uspeha, ker ga bo čuječi narod sam obsodil.
Kdor ne misli prispevati, nima tudi pravice kritizirati. To je zadeva tistih, ki bodo darovali ter bodo lahko potom svojih bratskih organizacij tudi povedali svoje mnenje. Naše slovenske bratske organizacije v Ameriki si lahko prisvajajo vodstvo Slovencev in Slovenk v Ameriki, ker tega jim nihče ne more odreči. One so po svojih glavnih uradnikih dovolj pametne in naobražene, da bodo svoje posle pri Jugoslovanskem pomožnem odboru same vodile ter odklanjale vsako nepotrebno in zlobno kritiko, kakor se poleg tega tudi vzdržijo kritiziranja drugih skupin, ker to ni njih zadeva, ampak zadeva onih, ki so tam včlanjeni. Vsak po svoje!
Mr. Zaitz,_ pri _ slovenski sekciji JPO se ne gre za klerikalizem ali ateizem, zato ni bil ustanovljena, ampak za nujno in potrebno pomoč našim bratom v starem kraju. Toliko mlačnega in z akt k n j ega srca menda nimaš, da bi odrekal lačnemu kos kruha, če ni tvojega socialističnega prepričanja. Vsi vemo, da naši Slovenci v starem kraju pripadajo k različnim političnim strankam, — in so povečini vsi ene vere, — toda danes, Mr. Zaitz, ni med ubogim ljudstvom več teh strank, ampak spadajo vsi k eni tuzni in vel ki stranki, ki jim piše v izmučen^ in suhe obraze strahotno približevanje negotovosti in gladu, stradanja in umiranja. To je stranka naših ljudi onkraj morja, kjer so si bratje vsi, neoziraje se na to ali oko politično ali versko prepričanje.
lii če bi Mr. Zaitz tudi odrekal kos kruha njemu neljubim političnim strankam, — če ima tako krčevito srce, — kaj pa uboga slovenska deca, ki je že lačna in bo še hocTa raztrgana tako ponedolžnem. To so otroci klerikalcev, liberalcev, socialistov, komunistov in ljudi še drugih prepričanj, pa so lačni in že se ozirajo za kosom knma. Tudi tem ni potreba kruha, ker po mnenju Mr. Zaitz-a imajo vodstvo nad relifom slovenski klerikalci v Ameriki,
Slovenci in Slovenke v Ameriki! Ne nasedajte modrosti in namišljeni kritiki urednika Proletarca, ker v svoji globoki užaljenosti in svinčeno težki duševnosti ni mogel najti druge kritike, kakor njemu neljube klerikalce. Naš odbor pa mu obljubuje, da ne bo tako majhen, kadar bo razdeljeval lačnim v starem kraju, da bi prezrl lačne in uboge socialiste, pa če bodo prišli ti darovi od ameriških republikancev ali demokratov, komunistov ali socialistov. Dobil bo vsak Slovenec, ki bo potreben, ako bomo nabrali dovolj denarnih prispevkov. Vi se pa zapomnite to: V nesreči se spozna tudi voditelje delavskih strank.
Živimo v svobodni Ameriki, zavedamo se te zaščite, zato bomo tudi lahko svobodno dajali potrebno pomoč
opozorite druge vaše prijatelje in pregovorite jih, da se z vami udeleže šolskega piknika, ki se vrši — pomnite — 10. avgusta. Na svidenje!

-, 1898, ko je delal na Elyu, po-■! zneje pa se je preselil v Duluth.) Bil je mirnega značaja, toda! J zadnje čase je bil vsekakor že i | oslabel na umu, ker je resno j ! vzel šalo, katero je nekdo ne-1 * premišljeno izrekel, namreč, da ga bodo oblasti deportirale v i stari kraj. Dasi so mu drugi1 pripovedovali, da je bilo tisto j rečfeno le za šalo ter da nič ne' j pomeni, si je stvar tako k srcu ; vzel, da se >je obesil. V nedeljo!
: 27. julija so ga našli obešenega,
! poleg njega pa je bil njegov;
; krstni list z računi in s pripi- j som, da “Markota ne bodo več tožariii na sodniji.” Pokojnik je bil član Ameriške bratske zveze, kar je bilo razvidno tudi z na-! pisa na vencu, ki mu ga je v zadnji pozdrav poklonilo njego-j Ivo društvo. Zadnje čase menda i ->
! mož ni skoro nič jedel, le DOpil j je kaj, in vedno je govoril, da ga bodo poslali nazaj v stari ; kraj. To kaže, da je bil duševno j i zmeden in da je svoj čin storil j ; v takem stanju. Naj mu bo ohra-' njen blag spomin!

j sedaj poročal. Rečem le to, da j bo vsega dovolj: jestvin in pijače. Za sedaj še lahko poročam, kar je tudi važno za posetnike, da bo vozil prvi bus od Cleveland Railway Co. na prostor piknika in sicer odpelje izpred S. N. Doma na St. Clair Ave. ob 12.45 popoldne, spotoma se usta-! vi še pred Slovenskim delav-■ skim domom na Waterloo Rd., kjer lahko prisedejo rojaki iz : Collinwooda, in od tam pelje ibus naravnost na farmo. Pomnite, vozil bo samo enkrat in, i j če zamudite bus, boste morali ostati doma. V busu je sedežev I za 40 odraslih oseb, ker smo najeli večjega. Vožnja bo udobna, ker družba nam je obljubila1 najboljši voz za prevoz, kar jih; ima na razpolago. V tem busu: ste varni pred morebitno nezgo-l do in tudi vsaka oseba, ki se vi njem pelje, je zavarovana poj družbi za slučaj nezgode. Ker je' pa farma, kjer bo piknik, približno 22 milj oddaljena cd S. N. i Doma na St. Clair Ave., stane tudi bus sorazmerno toliko več.
I Zato se je določilo ceno sedežu j 50c za vožnjo na obe strani, pa! i na j bo potem oseba odraščenaj j ali otrok. Vožnja se niti ne kri-j je, kar stane, z določeno ceno j po 50c, četudi bi bil bus popol-j noma zaseden.
V paviljonu na farmi bodo za! ples igrali bratje Krištof, ki znajo zadovoljiti mladino in starejše posetnike. Torej ste lahko brez skrbi, da se bojte dobro zabavali.
Ob tem času bi bilo potrebno spregovoriti resno besedo, ki bi zadela v živo naše ljudi. Gre! se namreč za velevažno ustano-J vo, za Slovensko šolo S. N. Do-; ma, ki je edinstvena te vrste! sedaj v Ameriki. Ko človek opa-j zuje razmere v Evropi, ki so ta-j ko hudo prizadejaie tudi naše, ljudi v Jugoslaviji, bi morali s; čutom in zanimanjem izkazati svoje simpatije do svojega naroda, ki ga v Sloveniji davi trinog, s tem, da bi se številno udeležili izleta, ki ga prireja š<\ svobodna Slovenska šola v Ameriki. Slovenska šola je zelo pomembna in koristna ustanova! za vse naše organizacije, društva, narodne domove, posebno pa še za dramska in pevska društ-I ! va. V Slovenski šoli se nudi rnla- j 1 dini in odraščenim pouk in pod-j lago, ki jo usposobi pozneje sa-j mostojno črpati dobre vire iz ) slovenskih knjig in časopisov.
■ Znanje slovenskega jezika poleg j angleščine je veliko bogastvo, i katerega ne more-ukrasti noben 1 tat. Z znanjem slovenskega je-| zika dobijo naši listi med mla-I dino tudi več čitateljev in na- j ročnikov.
Vodstvo Slovenske šole S. N.! Doma želi, da bi se za prihodnjo!
I sezono vpisalo v razrede Sioven-; ske šole vsaj 500 oseb, kar ni j ! preveč za tako veliko slovensko j mesto, kot je Cleveland. Vpiso- j | vanje se bo pričelo na pikniku. I | Starši, če imate otroke in če! i mislite, da je vredno, da se bolj j pravilno priuče slovenskega jc-i zika vaši otroci, tedaj jih vpiši-1 ! te v Slovensko šolo. Za otroke | j do 16. leta starosti je pouk po-j polnoma zastonj. Ta ponudba! i velja za vse Slovence v širnem j j Clevelandu in ne samo za St. j ; Clairski okoliš. Odraščeni, to j je nad 16 let stari, pa prispeva-1 j jo po možnosti nekaj za vzdrževanje svojega razreda, j Stroški vzdrževanja Sloven-j i ske šole se večinoma krijejo z\ dohodki treh priredb, ki se vrši-! jo letno v korist Slovenske šole. To je poleti piknik in v zimski! seziji dve priredbi v avditoriju S. N. Doma. Zato pa je važno,1 da so ,vse te priredbe uspešne,! ne samo moralno pač pa tudi;
! materialno.
Lj Starši, vpišite svoje otroke v j Slovensko šolo ted.r' — na pik-j ! niku, pri tamiku šole. Enako naj se že sedaj prijavijo odra-! j ščeni, ki želijo pouk v Slovenski ! šoli. .Vse prijavljene se bo ob-!
! vestilo z dopisnicami, kdaj bo!
! letos pričetek šole. i Rojaki, ki citate ta dopis,
osvoboditev primorskih Slovencev
r kot pozneje. Seveda so bile
- manjšinam servirane sladke ob-! i ljube in to celo v rimski zbor-' -'niči. Besede ministra Tittonija / so v tem smislu zelo značilne.!
Dejal je: “Z nami združena; -j ljudstva druge narodnosti naj j i j vedo, da-mi z zgražanjem od-i uklanjamo vsako misel tlačenja!
- ali raznarodovanja; njihov je-!
■ zik in njih kulturne ustanove :l bodo spoštovane; njihovi uprav-1 .j ni zastopniki bodo uživali vse!
pravice naše svobodoljubne in j demokratične zakonodaje; nji-!
\ novi politični poslanci bodo pri-j srčno sprejeti v italijanskem j parlamentu.” Zunanji minister!
| Tittoni je žel za te besede tople j ovacije zbornice . . . Mi vsi pa;
) vemo usodo našega ljudstva pod i Italijo.
Napačno bi bilo misliti, da je
vso krivda fašizma. Omenjeni
• 1 ( minister je govoril 27. septembra 1919, istočasno in potem vse do Dučejevega pohoda v Rim so I karabinerji vlačili v ječe našej' j učitelje, duhovnike, intelektualk ' i ce in inteligente ter slovenske j1 ! rodoljube. Po pravici povedano J ! zadnji žalostni vtis, ki ga hra- ■ nim iz domovine, je v verige;! vklenjen učitelj, gnan v ječo po;1 karabinerjih—in tedaj še ni bili i Mussolini v sedlu! Kaj je za-!j grešil tisti učitelj? Bil je zave--den Slovenec.	I,
Ne, mi ne bi zaupali nobeni še! 1 tako liberalni ali demokratični j2 italijanski vladi. Liparski in; drugi malarični otoki, kamor jele bil obsojen naš narodni intelekt 5 pod Italijo in pod Mussolini-U jem, da tamkaj žalostno pogi-!^ ne ,pa sramotno streljanje vL hrbet, in drugo nešteto poniža-1£ vanje in teptanje naroda se je! 2 zarezalo pregloboko, da bi mo- j, gla Italija še kdaj vzbuditi v j nas zaupanje. Kot narodno ^ manjšino se nas je morilo, raz- s narodovalo in teptalo tako kru-to, da se mora sramovati vsak r italijanski liberalec, ki si upa t tudi samo namigniti, da jugo- g slovanske manjšine ostanejo r pod Italijo, da se tako prepreči r zopetno in novo “flikanje” po Evropi.
Tisoč in več vzrokov imamo, da spregovorimo lastno besedo v prid osvobojenja, v prid zopetnega združenja z našo slovansko družino. Delovati pa moramo mi tukaj, kajti oni tam preko nc morejo in no smejo storiti nič drugega nego na tihem želeti, da pride tudi zanje dan svobode in dan obračuna za tlačitelje.
Z ozirom na vse to se je v New Yorku organiziral Odbor Jugoslovanov pod Italijo, in želja tega odbora je, da se združijo vsi zavedni Primorci in Jugoslovani sploh ter skupno delujejo na tem, da bo bodoči Jugoslaviji priklopljen tudi do sedaj zasužnjeni del naroda pod Italijo. Apeliramo torej na naše primorske rojake in ostale Slovence, da se v stvar zainteresirajo, stopijo z nami v stik in delujejo med rojaki za organiziranje močnega odbora, katerega beseda bo nekaj zalegla pri velikih državnikih Amerike in Evrope, ko bo prišel čas zato.

DOPISI
Cleveland, O Izlet Slovenske šole S. N. Doma. — Slovenska šola S. N. Doma na St. Clair Ave. p. Leja tudi letos svoj običajni izlet ali piknik in sicer v nedeljo 10. avgusta na SNPJ farmo.
Kaj vse bo pripravljeno na pikniku za posetnike, ne bom
Jugoslovanskeir.vi pomožnemu odboru, slovenski sekciji.! Sledili bomo načelu pravičnosti za vse, ki so naše krvi! I onkraj morja.	j
^ Ko je Jugoslavija napravili ■ zgodovinsko velik, važen in ju | naški korak, je s tem priklicali i ; nadse, maščevanje in brutalno-- ! silno jezo modernega Atilo—\ j j isti junaški potezi pa je tudi za-. 1 gojovila svojemu ljudstvu bo-! dočnost, zakaj demokratične ^ i ljudstva po svetu so ji podala . i prijateljsko roko in jo zagoto-, j vila, da bo po tem strašnem za-I časnemu porazu vstala zopet k 1 življenju, večja in bolj združena 1 j kot kdaj prej.	^
! Mi tam od Primorja, ki nam rodno zemljo in brate in sestre I tlači tujčeva peta že nad dve : desetletji, smo s krvavečim srcem zasledovali tragičen in žalosten potek dogodkov, ki so pri-j nesli jugoslovanskemu narodu {tako krut veliki petek. S ponosnim srcem smo vzeli na znanje in prisluhnili, ko je sam predsednik Združenih držav slovesno izjavil vsemu svetu, da Amerika stoji ob strani male, a junaške Jugoslavije. Čuli smo za-! getovila Velike Britanije in pre-: pričani, da fašizem in nacizem | ne moreta zmagati za dolgo, če ; sploh, nismo imeli najmanjšega (^’oma, da bo Jugoslavija zopet I vzpostavljena.
Mnogi med nami so mnenja, i da zopetno vzpostavljenje dr-j žave Jugoslavije pomeni že sa-rfioobsebi tudi osvoboditev Primorja in drugih podjarmljenih delov Slovenije in Jugoslavije sploh. Vendar pa v teh časih, ko je krivic nad narodnimi manjšinami toliko, da jih je že skoro težko našteti, ni zaupati zgolj splošnemu' sentimentu, ali obljubam, da narodne manjšine po tej vojni ne bodo več brezobzirno dodeljene temu alli onemu narodu ali državi. Nameni so lahko zmirom in povsod dobri, ali praktično vprašanje časa mo-! re često zaobrniti stvari v škodo tistim, ki imajo najmanj bese-j de—manjšinam. Prepričani smo j tudi lahko, da bodo razni ele-; menti v državah, ki so si pod-: jarmile naše kraje, delovali z; vsemi močmi na tem, da se ne
i
krši mej, postavljenih po zadnji1 svetovni vojni. O stališču, ki ga zastopajo reprezentati takih elementov v Evropi in v Ameriki, in s katerim moramo računati, se bo v bodočnosti podrobneje razpravljalo tako v svrho jasnosti, kot v doprinešenje zgodovinskih in drugih dokazov, ki dovolj jasno potrjujejo dejstvo, da z deljenjem našega naroda se je delala in se šp dela krivica ljudstvu, katero je dolga stoletja kultiviralo zemljo in stalo na braniku evropske civilizacije.
Naše Primorje nima na sebi nič italijanskega—mi smo bili navrženi kot nekakšno plačilo i za zavezništvo Italiji po zadnji!
; svetovni vojni.. Mi nismo bili! nikdar del Jugoslavije, Jugoslavija sama se je odpovedala pravici do Italiji dodeljenega jugoslovanskega ljudstva. Razmere in praktičnost časa je na-;rekovala tako.
Tu pa se porodi potreba de-! lovanja podjarmljenih manjšin ! samih. Mi sami moramo skrbeti, da bomo pripravljeni delovati za osvobojenje naše narodne manjšine potom informiranja j in potom odločnih apelov na one faktorje, kateri vemo, da bodejo] imeli besedo pri zopetnem ure-1 jevanju Evrope po tej vojni. Mi ne smemo čakati, da nam kdo prinese osvobojenje na .krožniku; naša dolžnost, kot Primorskih Slovencev, je, da'se slrme-mo v močno organizacijo, ki bo delovala zato,*da bodeta Trst in Gorica spet naša.
Ko smo bili vrženi v koš Ita-liji, nas ni nihče vprašal, če nam je tako prav, Italijani pa tudi; niso rekli, da ne marajo pod-j jarmiti manjšine, četudi “Duče-I ja” takrat še ni bilo na površju,
