•BIz kampanje ProsveteBB
dober glas iz
Zopet lep napredek: do 28. junija so agitatorji dobili 431 novih naročnikov; Tone Jankovich še vedno v ospredju, toda . Kanade
Agitatorji Prosvete so v drugi polovici junija napravili nov rekord in v dveh tednih (do 28. junija) pridobili 126 novih naročnikov. K temu moremo reči le: Bravo, fantje in dekleta! Dobro ste se odrezali!
V	prvih dveh mesecih je kampanja prinesla Prosveti (dnevniku) 431 novih naročnikov, od katerih so večinoma vsi celoletni—le par ducatov je polletnih. Na naše agitatorje obeh spolov, ki so večinoma tajniki, smo res ponosni in smo prepričani, da bodo šli "over the top" v prihodnjih par mesecih ali pa še prej. Kampanja bo trajala do konca oktobra.
Na prvem mestu je še vedno Tono Jankovich iz Clevelanda, ki je do 28. junija poslal 88 novih naročnikov. (Zaupno povedano, sedaj jih ima že blizu sto!) Tone, stokrat BRAVO! Ampak glej! da te ne prekosi neki—"dark horse". Ta "dark horse" ni nihče drugi kot Lojse Klemenčič iz Toronta, Kanada, brat Toneta Kle-menčiča iz Cheswicka, Pa. Lojze nas je zadnje dni prijetno presenetil. Do 28. junija je poslal 36 novih naročnikov—27 celoletnih, ostali polletni—toda slišali smo (to je strogo zaupno!), da je od tedaj to število že skoraj podvojil. In tukaj je tisti skrivnostni namig Jankovichu! Tone, pazi se! Izgleda, da je tvoj kanadski konkurent pravi hrust in—"go-getter".
Ta glas iz naše sosednje Kanade nas je zelo razveselil. Upamo, da se bo Lojzetu Klemenčiču pridružil Še kak drug "Jimmie Hig-gins" in poskrbel za razširjenje našega delavskega dnevnika tudi v drugih kanadskih naselbinah.
Dobro se je zopet postavila naša Rose Radovich. tajnica Orla v Pueblu, Colo. Do 28. junija le že poslsla 33 novih naročnin— osem več kot v prejšnjem poročiiu. Od teh je 29 celoletnih. Rose, tudi to delo vam gre kar dobro izpod rok! Well, v Pueblu je pač naša zapadna metropola s prijazno, kompaktno naselbino in uspešno zadružno prodajalno. Zadruga in Prosveta gresta skupaj!
V	Milwaukee ju, kot znano, je na delu naš stslni zastopnik Louis Barborlch. ki je v prvih dveh mesecih kampanje že "ujagal" 23 novih naročnikov, od teh 19 celoletnih. Louis, kaj če bi akušal posekati "večnega popotnika" in postavil s pomočjo drugih somišljenikov Milwaukee na prvo mesto? Sicer pa je vse "okej"!
Naš čikaški Frani* Udovich jo tudi kar dobro reže. Do zdaj, Združenih narodov in [oziroma do 28. junija jih je že nalovil 21/ od t'eh 18 celoletnih. Bo

Naš resnični old timer, starosta vseh sktivnih društvenikov John Goršek je v Springfieldu zadnja dva tedna počival in ostal pri sedmih (vse "okej", John!). Frank Tehovnlk iz Detroita je poslal nadaljnji dve naročnini, skupaj šest, Lawrence Frank iz Barbertona jih je pririnil na sedem, od teh pet celoletnih, MIlan Medvešek v Chicagu na pet—štiri letne. Po štiri so dobili: John Bajuk iz South Chicaga, kjer bo zdaj tajnikoval društvu Delavec, Tono Wa-potlch iz Clevelanda, J. Zugich z De Pueva, 111., in Frank Margolle iz Cicera. Po tri so dobili: Ludvik Medvešek (saj bo še kaj, Ludvik?!), 8tanley Ule iz Indianapolisa (enega več), A. Turk Iz Calu-meta, Frank Jenko iz Chisholma, Frank Gregorln iz Little Fallss (se je tudi ustavilo, Frank?), Roae Doak iz Rock Springsa (enako), Frank Klun iz Chisholma in Helen Sterniaha iz Jolieta.
Od ostalih agitatorjev jih je 11 dobilo po dva, 51 pa po enega naročnika Ce bi bilo še 500 "singelnov", pa bi bilo še 500 novih naročnikov. Torej tudi s št. 1 ali 2 so zelo dobrodošli, samo da bi bilo teh veliko. Če bi pri vsakem društvu nekdo malo potisnil naš kampanjski voz, pa bi drdral kot Elija. Vseh sgitetorjev Je do> zdaj na delu 91—11 več kot pred par tedni.
Tako se suče naša jtfbllejna kampanja. Naravno je, da želimo še več agitatorjev, kar je tudi pogoj, da bo naš voz čim dalje bolj hitro ali pa vsai v tem tempu dirjal naprej.

Amerika izgublja prijatelje v Jugoslaviji
BLOOM ZADR2AL OBJAVO POROČILA
Washington. D. C.. 2. jul.— Nekateri Člani kongresnega odseka za zunanje zadeve so izjs-vili, da poročilo članov pod odsek a, ki so ae več tedflbv mudili Evropi, ni še objavljeno, ker vsebuje ostro kritiko ameriškega popuščanja napram ItalijJ, bivši sovražnici. To popuščanje je vzrok, da Ame/ika izgublja prijatelje v Jugoslaviji in Grčiji. Jugoslsvijs se naslanja ns Rusijo, ker ne zaupa Ameriki in Veliki Britaniji.
Člani pododseka so isjsvill, ds bodo obnovili pritisk zs ob-jsvo poročils. Kongresni k Bloom, demokrat lz New Vorks in nsčelnlk odseka za zunanje zadeve, je blokiral akcijo zadnji teden in s tem preprečil objavo poročila.

"Jugoslovsni tn Grki so •e lojalno in hrabro borili na strani zaveznikov proti oalščnim silam in utrpeli ogromaa izgube v življenjih in lastnini. Ameri ka je ž« večkrat demonstrlrsls svojo naklonjenost Italiji, kl s< je izneverile Nemčiji, ko je ipo znala, da bodo zavezniki zms-gsli. Zdaj izgleda, da bo Itsll ja celo nagrajena, ker Je v zadnjem momentu preskočlls plot in se postavils na drugo itran ceste."
Bloom je dejal, da je proti objavi poročila, ker prodstsvljs mnenja le nekaterih članov od-seka za zunanje zadeva.

Najbrž bi velik* ;va potem imela prvenstvo peh pri izvolitvi delegatov. „ priporočljivo pa je, da bi redna konvencija sprejela e-m že izmed večkrat podanih prtov, namreč enega delegata vsakih 200 ali 150 članov. To proporčno znižalo število za-;ov in tudi stroške kon-

ffcporočila, da se zvišajo 1*-razne operacije, so tu-

Sedajn? pravila so po jjem mnenju dobra, le nekaj ičnih popravkov bi potrebo-

Zavetišče pri mnogih starejših članih še ni izumrlo in &s vedno sanjarijo o njem, ampak zamisel zavetišča, bi morala biti usmerjena na tak način, da bi jednota ne bila z njim obremenjena na velike ali pa sploh kake izdatke. (Brat in prijatelj Tone Shular me je imenoval velikega idealist*, ko sem to omenil.) Ampak tudi dobre ideje se dajo uresničiti, ako je dobra in zdrava volja! Seveda. v$e to gre na raču,n razvoja bodočnosti, ker v Ameriki smo na silno počasni polževi poti v vprašanju državnega socialnega zavarovanja, ki

dohodke. Sedaj životarijo svojih ali naletih kožicah, neka teri pa pri tujih ljudeh, ki mnogokrat računajo na zapušČi no in smrtnino. Nekateri imajo zapisano smrtnino na jednoto v slučajih smrti tatth članov se je največkrat izkazalo, da jednota n( prejela nič, Čeravno je bila dedič. Stroški za pogreb in tudi izmišljeni okraski ao bili tolikšni, da so Usti, ki so ga o-skrbovali, še "baje'' aami doloži-tem še postali "dobrotniki" pokojnega.
Prepričan sem, da bi se jih mnogo zglasilo, ki bi bili pripravljeni sami po svoji poljub-nosti postaviti si male, lične domove na zemljišču, vzemimo pol akra ali slično, na katerem bi mu dala jednota pravico do uživanja do njegove smrti. Po njegovi amrii, se razume, postane to zopet last jednote. Na takih parcelah bi ti atari člani poljubno obdelovali svoje vrtpve; nekateri *>i se baviii s perutnino, zopet drugi s sadjerejstvom, čebelarstvom in z raznim drugim obrtnim panogam in rokodelstvom. To bi jim dalo veselje do življenja in dobre volje. Financirali bi si v največjih alu-čajih aami avoje življenje, rezu-, me ae, da bi rade volje *iati, ki nimajo nikogar, volili svojo zapuščino jednoti, katera jim je še edina mati na svetu. 8 Um, bi bilo polovica vprašanja zavetišča rešeno in jednoto ne bi ob-težavalo. Drugo vprašanje zavetišča za take, ki ao absolutno nezmožni za nobeno delo, je seveda boli kočljivo, vendar bi bilo izvodljlvo na kak način, da bi jednota ne bila preveč odško-dovana. Morebiti bi prejemala mala odplačila za zdravilišče, ki bi pt ga Ačasoma umislilo, vsaj še privatna zdravilišča dobro obstajajo, kjer ae plačuje za zdravljenje, jednota bi možno nudila svojim članom mnogo ceneje, odplačila naj bi bila po možno sti tudi potom zapuščin v smrt ninah, ako bi ne bilo drugih sredstev.
Poleg glavnega jednotinega stana, b« ae lahko polagoma u-j redilo lepe izletniške prostore, ki naj bi služili bližnjim dru štvom in posameznim članom; sčaeoma hi se zgradilo dvorano za konvencije in za druge večje priredbe ter prostor za razne športne igre, sploh bi Jednota postala popolnoma neodvisna in odpadle bi skrbi za razne prt prave In najemanje prostorov 8časoma bi naselbina zraetla Jednota bi tudi lahko prodala del zemljišča članom in še mno-
go drugega bi se dalo doseči z dobro izdelanimi in preračunanimi načrti.
Nekateri čitatelji, ko bojo či-tali te vrstice, bodo vzkliknili, oeš, to je utopia ali sanjarenje, zopet drugi, da je posnetek iz samostanskega življenja. Niti prvega niti drugega nimam v mislih, ampak moje mišljenje je, da je to izvedljivo, ako je volja za to! Tega ne vsiljujem nikomur, naj služi le samo miUjevanje.

RAZNI NASVETI DRUŠTVENE TAJNICE
Johnstown, Pa.—Naj se malo oglasim k razpravam o pravilih. Ko čitam priporočila nekaterih dopisnikov, da bi ae obiskovalo Samo sumljive bolnike, *» sama *ebe vprašam, kje je pap*t. Ali iploh omislite, kakšne bi postale posledice iz tega?
Jz laatne izkušnje vem. da so težke bolezni, ki se navidez ne poznajo na bolniku. Če ga vidiš samo včasih, ga vidiš le tedaj, ko ae počuti malo bolje io potem ima iqpet kak osebni neprijatelj ali pnanapetež kaj govoriti. Bratje in sestre, če bi kaj .takega sprejeli v naša plavila, bi Jfcodovaši ugledu društev in jednoti, česar ne bi mc#l,i tako kmalu jx>praviti. Bodimo bratje in
in izgara-. aeatee med seboj m naj nam bo-
do vsi enaki! Pr,ipqračam, da s tem priporočilom sploh ne za--Jačuiom9 konvencije, kajti i-nsjmo d<
msmo dosti drugih problemov, ki jih bo treba rešitl.
Drugo pereče vprašanje je glede zastopstva na konvenciji. Kes se mora človek smejati, ko ,nek*terj tako vneto zagovarjajo, da bi ** volilo delegate po dis-triktih, potem pa zapišejo, da je njMiovo društvo izvolilo dva ali tri delegate za 13- redno konvencijo. Ako ste v resnici za zmfnjfonie delegacije, zakaj ne pošljete sedaj samo enega delegata na konvencijo?
Naše društvo Št. 3 SNPJ ima v svoji sredi še živeče ustanovitelje. Ustanovljeno je bilo meseca januarja 1. 1904, torej tri mesece poprej kot jednota. Bilo je zastopano na prvi konvenciji. Kako so tedaj pokrili stroške? Posegli so v lepe in poslali delegata na prvo konvencijo. Sedaj, po 40 letih, pa je tak jok radi kritja stroškov! Neti hote se zbudi v človeku vpraša nje iskrenoati. Vsi vidimo, da ae mora mladino zainterisirati za jednoto in mi, starejši, mora mo porabiti vsako priložnost, da pridobimo k aktivnosti vse, ki imajo le kaj društvene energi je, to je, če hočemo naitrodovati in podaljlati življenje jednoti Kako se počutijo ti mladi, aktivni člani, ko jim hočete vzeti pra vico pri društvih a tam, da bi tako volili kot ste prakticirali pred 42 leti? Ni zadosti, ds vpišeš člana v društvo, treba ga je navdušiti za društveno delo.
Kje bo mladina dobila več vjx)gleda v organizacijo kot na konvenciji? Hoje mnenje je, da kar se tiče volitev delegacije, da ostane tako kot je sedaj. To je tudi agitacijskaga pomena. Re cimo, da društvo nima zadosti članov za enega ali dva delega U, manjka jih deeet ali dvajset do kvote. Ali ne bo Imelo tako društvo veliko željo, doseči predpisano število članov. Govorila sem o tej zadevi z ustanoviteljem društva, ki je skti ven vseh 42 let. Rekel mi je. ako bi sprejeli sistem volitev delegsclje po distriktih. ds bi zašls društva v lenobo in Jim bi bilo vseeno, ako bi napredovsls ali ne, zastopnika tako In tsko ne bi mogli izvoliti Pri vsem tem nihče ne pove. kdo In kako bodo krili stroški distriktnih zastopnikov za seje. Kot vidim, nekateri računajo razdalje med društvi, ne povedo pa kdo bo plačal dnevnice in vožnjo. Nam se vidi. da bi imeli po tem sistemu še več stroškov, ker bi bilo potrebno imeti več skupnih sel
Ct ste za zmanjšanje stroškov, vam svetujem, de se omejite le ns koristne predloee Skreišete debate, da se ne bo ponavljalo eno in leto in s tem zavlačevslo konvencijo.

člane. To bi le malo rešilo to vprašanje. Samskih članov je <n#j0, ocenjeni pa pe bi želeli iti od doma. V*k ima ženo sli otroke in kjer ao ti, Um hoče biti tudi on, pe če tudi bi živel v pomanjkanju. Najvažnejše vprašanje je plačevanje ases menta- To bi morali rešiti na konvenciji: ali se ustanovi pose ben sklad v U 0*men, ali se pusti več svobode društvom. Menim, da bi lahko društveni od bor po previdnosti odobril do enega dolarja podpore in smrt-nioe, ne da bi ae to javno objavilo v Prosveti. Glavno je, da bi imelo o tem rekord tajništvo. Mislim, da hi zadostovalo, ako bi star član sli članica zaprosila za podporo tajnika, ta pa bi o tem obvestil ostale odbornike. Zakaj bi morali biti obnemogli člani na seji? S tem se marsikdo čuti užaljenega in rajši trpi kot pa da bi vprašal javnoi Ako sUr član izgubi društvo, je to »lah zgled zf organizacijo.
Glede Prosvetnih smernic se Pf strinjam, naj gre br. Molek S svojimi sugestijami kam drugam. Če hočeoio tako ameriško demokracijo, nam ni treba Pro-svete, ampak bi zadostovala Ave Marija ali pa Ameriška domovina, pa bi rešili to vprašanje.
Prejela sem pismo od moževega sorodnika jz Grkdcfc. Piše, da je begunec in da se ne bo vmil toliko Časa v Jugosla vijo, da bo tam prava demokracija. Pismo je bilo poslsno skozi duhovnike. Na listu je slika vhoda v cerkev in pregledano brez jaečaU cenzure. Piše, da bi rad pisal večj a gs solze oblivajo in ansa. Ali je to tista prava demokracijs, ko ne sme pisati, česar želi? Tako demokracijo bi nekateri želeli vpelja-« ti pod svobodno ameriško zasU-vo. Bratje in sestre, proč s tako demokracijo! UsUnovitelji so ustanovili SNPJ na svobodomiselni podlagi, ker ni bilo svobode pri drugih organizacijah. Le na svobodomiselni podlagi bo napredovala Aa&a dlčna mati jednoU! Pozdrav vsemu članstvu SNPJ! Me tj Vidihar.
PRIPOROČILA DELEGATA DRUŠTEV 170 HI 61*
Akron. O.—Kot delegat društev št. 170 in 626 priporočam sledeče spremembe oz. dodatke k pravilim SNPJ. Točki 67. se naj dods, če se član poškoduje pri delu ali v nesreči, da ni zmožen za delo najmanj pet dni, naj se mu plača podpora od prvega dne.
Točka 85. Za operacijo tonails (bezgavk v grlu) se naj plača $35, kajti ta operacija danes stane vsakega najmanj $75,'to ae pravi, predno je aposoben za dalo. Točka 120. Jednota naj plača društvene Ujnlke 10c od člana, kajti društva jih težko plačujejo. S Um bi obdržali dobre tajnike. Dalje naj jednoU plača za nove člane zdravniško prelsksvo nsjmanj $3, izvzemšl, če zdravnik ne zahteva toliko.
Priporočam tudi, da bi se kon vendje cbdržavale kje v središču člsnstva, kar bi bilo za vse boljše. Konvencija se lshko kon Ča v petih ali šestih dneh, ako bomo poslali svoje sugestije poprej v glavni ur>d. Nagrade za porode naj osUnejo po stsrem,

30 let deja za Svobodo, Enakost, Bratstvo
John Kobl. Duluth. Mina.
Piosveta danes p*»znuje tridesetletnico, odkar je začela izhajati, trideset let dela za Svobodo, Enakost in Bratstvo! Takrat, ko smo agitirali za nov slovenski dnevni Čaaopis, je Amerika ravno vstajala iz dobe brezpoaelnosti leta 1914-15, v Evropi je bila v teku prva svetovna vojn* In zaposlenost v Ameriki je rasUa vsJed isU in—za vojne dobič
karje.
Med naprednimi člani Slovenske narodne podporne jednote po naselbinah je bilo veliko upanja, ako se uresniči ideja dnevnika, da bo koristilo splošnemu delavskemu gibanju, posebno Še v političnem poifenu. Takrat smo imeli precej močno socialistično organizacijo, ne samo v Evropi, pač pa tudi v Ameriki. Program te organizacije je predvideval svetovno socialistično človeško družbo, v kateri ne bo izkoriščevalcev ne izkoriščanih, kjer ne bo vzrokov za svetovne morije človeka proti človeku, narodov proti narodom. Tako družbo, v kateri bo zajamčeno življenje, varnost in gotova bodočnost človeka. Naš novi dnevnik-Pro-sveta— je imel zarisane smernice v takem smislu potom priznane Molkove resolucije, katera je biU takrat sprejeta že ns dveh konvencijah SNPJ. BUo je veselje žrtvovati in delati za tak dnevnik, ki bo pomagal pospešiti tak program in Uko človeško družbo.
Eden takih naprednih Članov je bil tudi pokojni Anton Hrast, takratni predsednik gl porotnega odbora SNPJ. Z nJim sva v enem slučaju naletela na precejšnjo družbo v nekem salunu. Bilo je ravno na plačilni dan. Alkoholni duhovi ao že delovali pri nekaterih tako močno, da so al zatikali dvajaoUke za klobuke— kakor fantje v starem kraju naborne listke. Pa sva poskusilu pri prvem, drugem in tako naprej, da bi se naročili na novo snovanl delavski časopis, s ni bilo uspeha. "Kaj mi čjo cajUn-ge, saj nimam cajta za brat," je bil navaden odgovor; eni pu tudi "Come on, h • • - ča pa pij!" Denarja za pijačo Je bilo dosti, za delavstvu koristno Izobrazbo pa n'č! AglUtorjl se gotovo spominjajo, kako so naaprotniki napredka svarili proti Umu novemu dnevniku, češ, da ga snujejo idečkarji na Lawndale a ve. Chicagu.
V takih okolščlnah je začela ProaveU izhajati 1. julija 1916 in začHa s svojim delom med nami za prebujo deUvskegu raz reda, za boljšo človeško družbo, kjer bo postal človek samostojen in svoboden brez razlike glede vere, polti sli narodnosti, da bo v resnici začel delovati za resničen svetovni mir, zs vzajemnost med narodi na podlagi svobode, enakosti m braUtva!
Takrat smo bili mladi, polni življenja in upanja, da bomo dosegli usmerjeni cilj še v našem času; nismo rečunsll, da bodo tisti, za kaUre Je ProsveU delala,
raje poslušali one, ki so jih in jih še zavajajo in izkoriščajo. V teh tridesetih letih smo šli skozi dve svetovni vojni, kateri sta razdvojili one, ki po pred tride-
setimi leti složno delovali za novi red po vsem svetu. In tako tudi danes postoji nevarnost, da bomo doživeli tretjo svetovno vojno, če bo masa fjudi brezbrižna sedaj, ko se kujejo nove mirovne pogodbe, in Če se bo delavstvo cepilo v nasprotne in sovražne si tabore.
Danes moramo videti bolj kot kdaj prej, da na svetu postojita samo dve svetovni, nasprotujoči si sili, samo dva razreda: eden, da stari red Izkoriščanja in vojn ostane, drogi pa, da se ustunovi novi red. Radi poudarjamo o diktaturah in demokracijah, kažemo na diktatorje v tujini, pri tem pa pozabimo, da se domači vladarji poslužujejo diktature,
da porazijo delavce v prid kapitalizmu. Ampak diktatura je bila tudi tukaj, predno smo prišli do kapitalistične demokracije, katero uživamo le toliko časa, dokler ne pokažemo, da delovno ljudstvo ograža varnost posedujočega razreda. To se je pokazalo pri letošnji stavki železničarjev in zgodovina Amerike ima več slučajev, kateri imajo odsev diktatorstva, ko se je vlada postavila na stran izkoriščevalcev in proti delavstvu za ohraniUv starega reda,
Kakor iz vsega početka, tako ProsveU tudi danes stoji na strani onih, ki hočejo novo človeško družbo. Le tako naprej, Prosve-ts! V preteklosti si izpolnila, kar ti je bilo naloženo, bodočnost bo pa pokazala, če se Je ljudstvo kaj naučilo iz grenkih izkušenj brezskrbnoati, pomanjkanj in vojnih grozot. Če smo se kaj naučili, bomo sledili naukom Prosvete, če ne, bomo pa morali še dalje trpeti vsled svoje brezhibnosti.
Prosveti kličem še za večji uspeh v bodočnosti, tako, ko bo praznovala iestdesetletnlco in izhajala v angleščini, da bo takrat že vladal nov svetovni red resnične Svobode, Enakosti, Bratstva, Miru ln prave Demokracije!

Prijetni ao apomlni na tisto dobo, ko se je pričela prebujati delavsko napredna zavest v nazadnjaški elevelandaki naaelbl-nl. Takrat je bilo priseljevanje naših ljudi Iz aUre domovine na svojem višku. Sem so prihajali zdravi ln močni delavci, bajtarji in zadolženi kmetje. NJim so sledile žene ln dekleU, v namenu, da ai v Ameriki ustanovijo nov dom. Razen redkih delav cev Is industrijskih središč, so vsi imeli le strogo klerikalno in deloma liberalno vzgojo. Vpričo tega ao poaUli lahek plen že trdno zaaidranih tukajšnih slovenskih klerikalcev, njih orgs-nlzacIJ In časopisja. Njih ogromni vpliv se je čutil v vseh panogah javnega in prlv^tnegf življenja. Da, tudi privatnega. V to naj aluži sledeče dejstvo: Pri moji teti nas je bilo okoli dvsjset fantov na atanovanju. Bili so seveda val vzgojeni katoliško, ampak vzlic Umu ae na-kateri niso brigali za cerkev. Pa je prišlo nedeljsko jutro. Utrujeni in skrokanl fantje so spali kot klade. Mogoče ao sanjali o svojih ljubicah fn ženah, ki so jih zapustili v domovini. Nekateri "stlskači" so krpali delovno obleko ln pri tem računali, ko lik<> kron jim Ae manjka, da poplačajo avoje dolgove in ae čim prej vrnejo v naročje svojih drsglh. Ampsk vso Idilo jim je

Kdor ne bo šel k mali. ta naj se jutri preseli dru-gam" N6, ta kar an v vseh hI šsh vladale enake razmere, ao se fantje odpravili brez ugovqr ra in odšli; nekateri v cerkev, a večina v gostilno, dokler ni bila mafs končana.	~

Agitacija v Clevelandu
Ko Je pUtsburška konvencija sklenila, da SNPJ ustanovi svoj dnevnik, ao pričeli Clevelandča-ni takoj nublrati naročnike. Kronika v Um oziru Je zelo pomanjkljiva, vendar ae pa razkosani drobci najdejo še tu ln Um. Kot prva agitatorja aU mi najbolj oatala v spominu Louls JCr« ŠU ln Lao Poljšak.

Beseda o uredniški "reformi
•19 <
V predkonvenčnih razpravah v Prosveti se je zadnje čase po javila tudi sugestija ali zahteva, naj v bodoče glavni urednik ne bo več član glavnega odbora, marveč nastavljen po glavnem odboru — enako kot vrhovni zdravnik. To priporočilo je najprej priilo od društva Naprej it. 5 iz Clevelanda. To društvo je bilo dolga leta največja postojanka jednote — dokler ga niso izpodri nili čikaški Pionirji iz mlajše generacije. Naprej ima zelo lepo in častno zgodovino in je od vsega začetka delavsko in napredno usmerjeno. Beseda Napreja je vedno štela, bodisi v Clevelandu sli v širših jednotinih krogih.
Tej Naprejevl sugestiji se je zadnje čase prdidružilo več drugih In Isgleda, da to lahko postane eno "najvažnejših" priporočil konvenciji. Zato bo morda na mestu, da tudi urednik poda svoje mišljenje o Um vprašanju.
Kolikor se spominjamo, je zdaj prvič v zgodovini jednote, da je priilo na dan s tako sugestijo kako društvo ali posamezni član Društvo Naprej sicer ni v svojih priporočilih podalo nobenega ' razloga, nikakega argumenta, zakaj naj bi bila potrebna ta reforma aH "reforma", Nas bi bilo to zanimalo, kakor gotovo tudi druge člane. Pozneje smo sicer čitali v nekaterih drugih dopisih, na - našajočih se ne to vprašanje, da je ta reforma potrebna zato, "da ne bo toliko sitnosti z glavnim urednikom . . ."
Ne vemo, da-U je to tudi stališče Napreja, kakor tudi ne, da-11 je to le dobrohotno priporpčilo aH mnenje, ali se za tem skriva ka, drugega — da se Iz glavnega urednika napravi, ne samo "služab-* nika", marveč tudi "slugo pokornega" ... Če Imajo iniciatorj " tega priporočila to v mislih in če na konvenciji prodre ta miselnost, potem si bo morala jednota Iskati drugega glavnega urednika — takega, ki bo pripravljen igrati vlogo "sluge pokornega" napram svojim "višjim". Sedanji urednik ni pripravljen na tako vlogo — bo šel raje magari zopet premog kopat ... To povemo zato, da se bomo razumeli.
*
• Toda vzemimo, da so zgoraj citirane besede v bistvu glavni razlog za to priporočilo in da se za tem ne skriva kakšna cinična poteza, marveč le nerazumevanje dela in vloge odgovornega urednika. Vzemimo tudi, da to priporočilo izvira iz homatij in nesoglasja med prejšnjim urednikom in glavnim odborom.
Taki incidenti so za organizacijo res zelo neprijetni in lahko povzročijo večji notranji boj, kajti glavni urednik ima veliko moč, dokler sedi za pisalno mizo in lahko v takem boju tudi razruka organizacijo, ako bi šel do skrajnosti. In to posebno, če je glavni odbor razdvojen. *Pri nas se ni zgodilo nič takega in tisti incident je jednota srečno prebolela brez vsakih zleh posledic. S tem seveds še nI rečeno, da ne bo nikdar več prišlo do nesoglasja med člani glavnega odbora all eksekutive. Ta možnost obstaja v vsaki demokratični organizaciji. Nesoglasja v organizaciji, bodisi na vrhu all r^odaj, lahko zatrejo le ljudje Lewlsovega kalibra.
Toda kaj pa, če nastane velik nesporszum med glavnim predsednikom in glavnim odborom, med glavnim tajnikom, blagajnikom, upraviteljem all katerikoli drugim izvršnim odbornikom in glavnim odborom? Mar se naj v takem primeru enostavno odpravi tudi dotični urad, nastavitev odgovornega uradnika pa poveri glavnemu odboru? To je vssj logika stališča, ki ga zavzemajo oni, ki se strinjajo s priporočilom društvs Naprej. Če naj bo podlaga za odpravo uredniškega mesta v glavnem odbory in ekse kutlvni strsh "pred sitnostjo" ali pred konflikti, mora to logično veljati za vsako Isvršao mesto. To namreč, ako tukaj ne gre za osebnosti, marveč za odgovornoat pozicije.
Glasovi iz naših naselbi
To nas privede do drugega vprašanja, ki je tudi važno. Vaš urednik Je namreč radoveden, ako iniciatorj! in podpiratelji tega priporočila smatrajo, da mesto glavnega urednika ni toliko važno da Je potrebno, da Je član glavnega odbora in ekaekutlve, aH pa če mialijo, da je toliko važno, da mora biti vsled tega deklasiran in biti "na špagi" glavnega odbora in eksekutive, da ga "višji" vodijo po prsvi poti ali ozki stezi kot vodi mati all pestunja majhn ga otroka, ki še ni dobro ahodil.	.
Kolikor razumemo dosedsnje argumente v podporo te "refor me", Je namen slednje — to je, da glavni urednik še obdrži od-govornost, tods naj postane — "sluga pokorni" . . . "da ne bo več delal sitnosti . . ." Res, zelo enostavna "solucija"! Brez ozira na osebnosti, vaš urednik odkrito želi, da ne bo jednota in Proaveti nikdar tako daleč padla, da bi Imela na uredniškem mestu — "slugo pokornega". Kadar pride do tega. da bo glavna kvallfi kacija za odgovornega urednika kameleonstvo all lutkarstvo na ptam "višje postavljenim" ter bo moral okrog njih s klobukom v roki iskati dovoljenja, kako in kaj sme pisati in kaj ne, tedaj bo jednota zašla v čudne vode s Prosveto vred. Za svojo osebo ima vaš urednik raje poštenega rrnkcionarja kot kameleona aH "slu go pokornega". Ta "reforma" ne vodi nikamor drugam kot klečeplazi vo, na drugI strani pa v ustvarjanje resničnih ali na mišljenih bossov in boesizma v organizaciji.
Stvar je končno ta. da je za organizacijo in tudi sa urednika sa mega potrebno, da je član glavnega odbora in eksekutive. In potrebno je vsled tega. da ima čim boljši upogled v organizacijo. Ako bo odvisen le od zapisnikov glavnege odbora in eksekutive ali pa od tega. kar mu bo kdo povedal, bo le površno sli pa lahko tudi zmotno informiran. Zanj bi bilo aicer bolje, ker bi mu ne bilo treba ubijati čaaa po sejah, potem pa delati če« uro aH pa doma kar je au*r Juk potrebno ln ako urednik ni praten, lahko na sejah tudi prispeva svoje misli k zaključkom
Urednik, kot v »a k do drug*, naj ae ravna po pisanihMin nepiaanlh smernicah organizacije, po razvoju, razmer In dogodkov tn po aklepth glavnega odbora m eksekutive Slednje more vršiti, ne da W poeta 1 lutka aH kameleon, le tedaj, ako ima priliko, da sam
NEKROLOO AGITATORJU IN PRIJATELJU SNOYJU
Cleveland, O. — Ko sem bil
obveščen o smrti mojega starega prijatelja in vztrajnega agitatorja Jožeta Snoyja, sem strmel v tiste črke in nisem vedel, ali je resnica ali se mi samo sanja. A bila je gola resnica.
Jožeta Snoyja ni več med nami. Poslovil se je s tega sveta veliko prezgodaj, prezgodaj zato, ker je bil nlutrudljiv delavski boritelj, dober soprog in skrben oče svoje družine. Odšel je za mnogimi, ki so imeli Iste delavske in kulturne ideale ko on. Polagoma pa bomo vsi odšli za njimi, kajti tako pač zahteva železni zakon narave.
iTežko nam je za vsemi onimi, ki so bili koristni delavsko kulturnemu pokretu, še bolj pa nam je težko za mirnim, vztrajnim in poštenim bojevnikom Snoyjem! Agitatorja Jožeta Snoyja sem še poznal začasa, ko sem potoval po zapadu, čez nekaj let pozneje pa se je preselil v Bridgeport, O., kjer se je vrgel z vso energijo na agitacijo za naše delavske časopise, za Prosveto in Proletarca, poleg tega pa tudi za neštete druge delavstvu koristne ideje. Največji čudež pa je bil, da je vzlic slabemu zdravju toliko let vztrajal na vseh koncih in krajih. Njegova pomoč je bila povsod velikega f>omena in velike vrednosti! On je bil steber Bridgeporta in njegove okoUce.
Kdo ga bo sedaj nadomestil? To je res teiko vprašanje — kdo ga bo nad^nestll? Da, kakor hitro smo ga IzgublH, je nastala velika vrzel v naših delavskih ln kulturnih vrstah.
Upanje sicer je, kajti čital sem v Prosveti, da je stopil na njegovo mesto kot tajnik socialističnega kluba 11 JSZ, podružnice SANSa in Prosvetne matice so-drug Vitez, katerega tudi dobro poznam kot vztrajnega delavskega boritelja in tudi dobrega agitatorja. Ako bo s. Vitez dobil enako pomoč, bo mogoče obdrža-na isti stopnji društva in klube cot so biU do sedaj. Snoyjeva pot ni bila posuta rožicami. Kdor je kdaj poskusil z agitacijo od hiše do hiše za delavske časopise, Družinski ko-edar, Majski glas ln podobne publikacije, dobro ve, da ni lah-co delo, da agitatorjeva pot ni posuta s cvetjem. Ta pot je bila za Jožeta toliko bolj tmjeva, ker ;a je mnogo let mučila bolezen. Najhujše pa je za agitatorja, če pride v nazadnjaško hišo ln se nu očita razne stvari, katerih ni eriv. Naj omenom tak primer. Pred leti sva se s pokojnim Jo-»tom srečala v Penni, ko sva bila oba na agitaciji. "Hallo, večni popotnik!" me je pozdravil in pripomnil, da prihaja iz one hi e, v kateri ga je menda pijani anatik močno ozmerjal. Omenil je, da ga najbrže tudi jaz poznam in res sem se spomnil nanj, kajti on in njegova žena sta tudi mene nekoč nahrulila. Sodru-gu Snoyju sem predlagal, da bi šla nazaj v hišo, a on ml* je odgovoril, da bi šel, toda je zelo >olan. Pri tem mi je pokazal na želodec in dejal, da ga tam notri zelo peče in grize. Ker je bilo že pozno zvečer, sva ae poalovila.
Snoyju sem obljubil, da se bom msščevsl nad tisto družino In drugi dan sem se napotil tja. Doma sem našel samo ženo ln Jo pošteno ozmerjal, ona pa se je tako rszburila, da so ji šle kar pene iz ust. Pozneje ml je soseda dejala, da sem imel srečo, ker ni bilo moža doma, kateri bi me gotovo napadel. Tu sem navedel aamo en slučaj. Gotovo, da vsak agitator naleti na take primere
Prijatelj. agitator, sodrug presgodaj si odšel iz naših vrst. Is vrst Tvoilh prijateljev agite-torjev Prehitro si zapustil svojo soprog" in otroke. S Tvojo smrtjo je nastala veHka vrzel In naša dolžnost je. da jo na kakšen način zamašimo. Toda to ne bo
lahko, kajti smrt pobira tudi drugod naše delavske boritelje, naše pridne narodne in kulturne delavce. V Tvoj spomin, s. Snoy, obljubljamo, da bomo storili vse, kar je v naših močeh, in poprijeli bomo tam, kjer si Ti popustil. Tvoj duh bo ostal med nami. Bodi še enkrat pozdravljen, počivaj v sladkem miru po Tvojem trudopolnem delu. Užaloščeni soprogi in ostali družini pa moje in moje družine globoko sožalje!
Anton Jankovlch in družina.

O POLITIKI. PRAVILIH IN DRUGEM
Milwaukee. Wis. — Ne vem, ali se vreme ravna po ljudeh, ali ljudje po vremenu. Naše vreme je pravi paradoks! V mesecu juniju (v nedeljo) smo imeli 91 stopinj, drugi dan pa smo korili v pečeh.
Enako je v domači politiki. Bližajo se volitve, v obupu si drgneš plešo in ne veš koga boš volil. Ti {K>litikoni so nam zmešali štrene in se prodali dolar sk*mu mamonu. Včasih smo imeli tu dva, celo tri kandidate-šampijone: župana Hoana, sena torja Boba LaFolletta in njegovega brata Pilipa LaFolletta. Bili so dolgo časa na pravi poti in delavski prijatelji, danes pa so ti gospodje spremenili barvo. Hoan je miUjonar in ker so socialisti po večini "lower classof people," se je prelevil v demo-erata, brata LaFolletta pa sta iz progresivcev postala republikanski oprodi.
Torej taka je naša politična situacija. Novih, dobrih politikov ni na vidiku, stari so pa pomrl ali pa se izneverili. Rajši bojkot taki politični morali kot pa voliti seakcijo! Vzrok temu je, ker je delavstvo, nesoHdamo. Namesto da bi )>ilo združeno v eni veliki uniji, pa si drugo drugemu nasprotuje v pfganizacijah ter je nekooperativno ln politično nezrelo.
Vidim razna priporočila in razprave od različnih društev in federacij za 13. redno konvencijo SNPJ. Tudi pri milwauški federaciji SNPJ so zbrali zastopni ke, ki smo razpravljali in j>rou čevali pravila. Mi priporočamo popolnejšo bolniško j>odporo več plačila za vse operacije brez rtzlike, rezervni sklad, posebni sklad za stare člane, ki nimajo sredstev za plačevanje asesmen-ta, in celo farmo za stare člane odobravamo, čeprav pravijo, da je ta ideja utopija. (Pri angleških podpornih organizacijah imajo take farme in zavetišča, tam pa nI utopija).
Popolnoma se strinjam s predlogom, da ne bi bila gl. zdravnik in urednik člana glavnega odbora, torej ne izvoljena, temveč nastavljena uradnika. To iz razloga, ker določi glavni zdravnik odškodnino samo za gotove operacije in bolezni, za druge pa nič, kar ni enakopravno, kajti članom nI dana na izbero bolezen po naravi. Da bi bil tudi glavni urednik samo nastavljenec, pa prijDoročam vsled tega, ker je prejšnji urednik napravil dosti rabuke med članstvom. Ej, kako smo se preoirali ip argumnetira-11 o tukajšnji politiki in jugoslovanski. zseno pa očitali drug drugemu zapeljanost. še danes bi radi on in njegovi sodrugi vsilili nsm svoie dogme, tods mi verjsmemo, da nastops nova reformacija. nova doba. ne samo za posameznika, temveč za ves svet Svoboda ali smrt!
Ne vem razlage o tem tehničnem vprašanju, o katerem smo že argumentirali na seism, namreč i trditv«. da moralo biti nova pravila že vnaprej potrjena od zavarovalmnskegs urada države Illinois, če je že vnsprej vse oredelsno in potrieno. namreč o red konvencijo, čemu imamo potem razprave na konvenciji, čemu potrata časa. ki stsne lep novac? Zakaj ne bi rajši imeli splošno glasovanje in tako volili
tudi kandidate v glavni odbor?
orej zakaj ne, če je zgornja trditev fakt?
Naj še omenim, da je sestra Marija Ambroš vsled operacije na grlu. niča je bila rojena pred na Ljubnem v Savinjski dolini, kjer zapuiča enega sina, tukaj pa tri sinove in hčer. Bila je članica treh društev. V Milwaukeeju je živela 40 let in je bila splošno poznana kot dobra družabnica in naprednega mišljenja. Pogreb e bil civilen na pokopališču Forest Home, kjer je bilo truplo vf>epeljeno. Preostalim naše sožalje!

POZOR, JUGOSLOVANU
Chicago. I1L—Društvo Pioneer 559 SNPJ bo priredilo svoj letni piknik v soboto večer, 3. avgusta, v Pil8enovem parku na 26. ulici in Albany. To bo eden največjih piknikov, kar smo jih še imeli, zato vabimo vse Čika-žane in iz bližnje okolice, da se gotovo udeleže tega piknika.
Na pikniku bomo imeli jako fin program, kakor tudi več drugih zanimivih točk. Krona dneva pa bo, ko bomo oddali nov 1946 Fordov avtomobil. Ako niste kupili le nobenega listka, pridite na piknik in ga kupite, kajti morda boste biU srečni in dobili avtomobil. Godbo bomo imeli jako izvrst-namreč F. Jankovichevo iz Clevelanda. On je dobro poznan v Clevelandu in drugod. Meseca marca je bil V Chicagu in je igral v Slovenskem delavskem centru. Tisti, ki smo ga slišali, vemo, da na njegovo godbo lahko pleše vsak, naj bo star ali pa mlad.
Postrežba za lačne in žejne bo dobra, sestra Mary Andres pa bo servirala okusno večerjo (plate lunch). Torej na gotove svidenje 3. avgusta v Pilseno-vem parku! John Simon.
ob pol osmih v običajnem prostoru.
Na seji bomo razpravljaH p pravilih naše dične jednote in kaj bi se dalo izboljšati v korist članstva, kar bi zaeno odgovarjalo poslovanju jednote in njenim principom. S tem se bo dalo delegatu 13. redne konvencije nekaj navodil in mu tako olajšalo delo na konvenciji.
Ker tudi naše društvo ni doseglo svoje kvote v zadnji kampanji, zato apeliram na članstvo, da bi na prihodnjo sejo pripeljalo vsak po enega novega kandidata. Podpisani je na delu, pri tem pa mu zelo pomaga vsega priznanja vredna sestra Fanny Ray iz Louisvilla, Colo., le škoda, ker je preveč oddaljena. Na svidenje na seji 18. julija. John Malovrh, tajnik.

John Prlmosich, predsednik
aodeluje pri sklepih In razpravah Vsaj tako delajo razumni ljudje v razumnih organizacijah
Končno še to: Ako urednik ne bo hotel biti lutka tega ali onega "višjega" v primeri, da bi konvencija sprejela to "reformo", bo potem še več "sitnosti" z njim kot jo je bilo v preteklosti

KAMPANJA ZA TISOČ NOVIH NAROČNIKOV PROSVETE
Letos. 1. julija je bilo 30 let, odkar izhaja Prosveta kot dnevnik. Prosveta je leta 1916 postala dnevnik vsled potreb jednote, kakor tudi vsled potreb sovenskega delavsko čutečega naroda v tej deželi. Obe potrebi sta &e danes prav tako nujni in aktualni kot Rta bili pred 30 leti.
Na mestu je torej, da proslavimo to obletnico s tem, da dobimo Prosveti vsaj tisoč novih naročnikov za ta jubilej.
O tem je na zadnji seji razpravljal tudi glavni odbor jednote in poveril izvršni odsek, naj za 30-letni jubilej Prosvete razpiše kam« panjo za nove naročnike. Izvršni odsek je sklenil, da se
KAMPANJA PRIČNE I. MAJA IN KONČA 31. OKTOBRA

Poleg tega popusta—25%—od novih naročnin bodo tekmovalcem oddane tudi sledeče nagrade v gotovini:

Time Makes the Difference
OFFICIAL STATISTICS of our Society »how that cancer is
the second chief cause of deaths among our members, with heart disease holding first place.
While heart disease takes more lives annually in the nation, cancer is by far the worst enemy of mankind mainly because of its character. Its early symptoms are rarely discovered by the patient and when they are noticeable—it is usually too late. That's why a regular physical examination by a competent physician is not only advisable but necessary.
Heart diseases are mainly due to our modern living and working conditions. It is often hard work in poorly ventilated industrial plants that causes the heart to weaken. Constant strain and insufficient rest—is bound to weaken our human machinery. Our profit system based on exploitation is the chief cause of this condition, because private profit has no regard for the welfare of the individual.
Another all-important cause in the increase of heart disease and cancer is food. Not that there 1» not enough food, but rather because of the modern way of preparing and eating it. As a result of this, a very large percentage of the American people is suffering from Indigestion and other internal disorders that eventually lead to serious complications in some part of the human system.
Moderation in all things is of vital importance to health. This, plus early diagnosis of any symptoms, is absolutely necessary.
* * *
PUTTING OFF FOR TOMORROW what should be done today
means the difference between life ftnd death to the patient with earty cancer symptoms. We have often heard that "procrastination 1s the thief of_
time." This ststcment ts even truerwhen applied to the prompt treatment of cancer. The American Cancer Society, which is dedicated to the early treatment of the affliction in order to eliminate It ultimately, urges that if any of the following conditions are noted, an* of which may be early cancer si^ns, one should go at once to a doctor or approved clinic for a checkup:
Persistent indigestion or distress after eating or drinking; lack of appetite; changes in normal bowel habits—diarrhea alternating with constipation—loss of weight or strength; noticeable change in long-standing skin defects—change In the size or color of a wart, mole or birthmark.
An examination will probably reveal that cancer Is not present,' but ^e individual is urged not to take chances. Treated early,, many cancers are curable in a higji percentage of canes; treated late, a comparatively small percentage can be cured. Time makes the difference!
The American Cancer Society is strongly stressing the point of early examination and treatment of any condition that may reveal cancer signs.
* * *
IT WOULD BE GREAT PROGRESS toward early diagnosis if Congress were to adopt a bill whiclf would put medicine on a national basis. Medicine must be socialized in order that it will serve the people to the fullest extent possible. As it Is today, millions of people cannot afford to pay the high cost of medicsl treatment and are forced to wait until It Is too late.
The cure for cancer is no more inconceivable than the.discovery in the past of the cure for other .fatal diseases.
Our nation has spent more than TWO BILLION dollars to discover the atomic bomb and yet, during this same time from Pearl Harbor to V-J Day, the nation has taken little interest in the fact that twicc as many people died of cancer as were killed by the war.	t
There is no question that cancer can be cured if the public is aroused. There are thousands of Americans who msy be the next victims of this scourge. No man, rich or poor, white or black, knows when cancer may strike next.
There will be a cure for cancer, as well as all other diseases, if we give our great doctors and scientists the means to study. And our Government can and must provide the means to carry on research in scientific discoveries.
A nation that spent two billion dollara to discover the atomic bomb for destruction, can certainly spend several million dollars a yejr to conquer cancer.
Pioneer Homecoming Sat* Aug. 3
CHICAGO.—As August 3rd draws near to being, the committee in charge of all arrangements and plans for the gigantic Homecoming Celebration of Pioneer Lodge 550 SNPJ is busily at work. Quite a bit has yet to be taken care of before the btf event at Pilsen Park takes plan-

The biggest event on the evening's program will be the awarding of the new lftM Ford automobile.
It'll be a great affair, and it should be, for it will be the day that we welcome beck home all our people jthat served In the various blanches of the army, the navy and others.

CLEVELAND, OHIO—Cleveland federation meeting As moved at the Last meeting, committee consisting of C. Zarnick, L. Haferle and R. Liach, visited our friend Governor Lausche to discuss the Trieste situation. They reported back in detail the results of their discussion and left the governor with the impression that some action, to the extent of his ability would be taken. Everyone agreed that the trip was fruitful.
July 2» Picnic Keep in mind this date, Comrades' first picnic of the season at the SNjPJL Farm. Don't forget what we said about your ration. Understand that the Utopians are going to have their affair the Sunday before, July 21.
Convention Convention talk is gaining speed. Lodges are discussing it, likewise federations. We believe other federations should follow the example of the Cleveland federation and arrange for a general meeting of all delegates for clarification and frank discussion of subjects that will come up, with the idea in mind that maybe in these preliminary discussions some points could be cleared up and save time and money on the convention floor. Question of transportation from Cleveland to Chicago is also on the agenda.	j Many delegates "will attend their first c

New AARJ Chapter In Elizabeth, N. J.
PITTSBURGH. PA.—During the bot summer months activities in our lodges will be a bit lax but that doettn't mean that we are asleep. At the present, as you know, there is a shortage of beer and without drinks things get kinda dull. However we can all begin to plan for the coming fall when the weather will be cooler and I hope the current shortage problems will be solved.
With this in mind the Morning Stars are planning a dance for the month of September with that genial gentleman from Girard as the main attraction. Of course you all know Joe Umcck and Ifim sure that he and his orchestra will provide the best there is in Slovene music, so that a good time will be assured lor all.
Many lodges have become quite active now that the boys are all back from the service and this really Is a sign that the Slovenes aren't the type to sit around and watch the world .go by. We must be active and prove to the world that the happiest people on earth are the Slovenes. We also have another trait in our make-up and that is the unselfish desire to help our fellow comrades who are down.
Our friends and relaUvcs in Jugoslavia are In such a predicament right now. It is our duty as Slovenes to help them back on their feet and give them a chance at hap-pines once again. Food, clothing and medical aid are the absolute necessities of life. Bearing this in mind the Morning Stars are donat ing the entire proceeds of the next dance to the Children's Hospital in Slovenia Let's all get together and make this affair a big suocess Can we count on you?
OFF THF. REC ORD On Surday. the 23rd a group of Morning Stars traveled to Cleveland to watch that fair city's baseball team bow twice to the classy Boston Redsox. We certainly had a gtand time, thanks to Joe and Helen Zabukovec from Rast Cleveland and Mr. and Mrs Andy Virt and family. Such hospitality just can't be beat.

convention. I am sure 'they would appreciate knowing in advance some of the procedures to be followed. Present s\ipreme board members should take an active at these meetings, since many of the points the delegates have on their mind have been talked about at our supreme board meetings. The conclusion reached can be passed onto the delegate*.
Such meetings should be frank and 'cover among them such subjects as: the question of salaries; new building for the organization; per diem of convention delegates; whether the particular federation wishes to bid for the next convention; resolutions that are in order; what changes should be made to the by-laws beneficial-to the organization, and just about everything else that might come up at the convention.	v
If you have abound forty delegates, as will be the case from Cleveland, and this holds true in other places such as Pennsylvania, Chicago, etc., and you can clear up many of their questions, come to a general agreement; time means money will De saved on the convention floor. Some people may holler that these meetings will be the formation of blocs. Well, what of it? A bloc formed with the sole idea of benefit to the organization is highly desirable.
Preparation of a Convention As one knows, preparation for a convention embodies considerable detail work. It has always been my firm belief that the 8NPJ should send a representative to the site of the convention to handle publicity and work with the local committee in lining un the affair. This representative should be there possibly two or three weeks in advance of the convention date. He should take off the hands of the local group much of the detail work. One must realize that the local people are working individuals and the Ume spent is what time they can find after working hours. It should be understood that by having the SNPJ representative prggent. it does not cast any aspersion on the ability of the local group.
Sending of representatives also holds true to s smaller degree as rrgards our national SNPJ Day bowling tournamenta. etc
More on the Convention News should be forthcoming from Eveleth way. The women delegates and friends that will attend I am sure would like to know whet kind of weather to expect; what clothes should they wear, et caters What can be expected in the way of housing. food?

Americans
BROOKLYN, N. Y.—Lodge 500 held their meeting June 21. at which time despite the only fair attendance, a good amount vof discussion was devoted to a variety of subjects. When any two New Vork All Americans get together you can be assured they discuss the bowling, that the lodge is in the process of organizing for a hit start at the beginning of the season. This is the first attempt of thjs lodge, and we surely hope it shall be a way for members to get together frequently and become more acquainted than is permitted just at the monthly lodge meeting.
Another matter which called for much debate was our contemplated dance commemorating the 20th anniversary of Lodge M0. This, to this date, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 12, i*t the Slovene Hall. The committee is anx ious to make this something un usual and provide a variety of entertainment in addition to a good orchestra for the dance. The committee is scheduled to meet before the regular monthly meeting and present their plans for the approval of the lodge. On the committee We have Cecilia Murin, Jennie Padar, John Kirk and Jerome Corel.
The next meeting of lodge 580 is scheduled to take place on Friday, July 10, at 2 p. m. at the Slovene Hall. Then we abajl elect tw;p del
Statement of Declaration!
The following statement was presented to Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson by a delegation of Americans of Jugoslav descent which went to the State Department on June 27:
egates to attend the SLrd American Slav Congress, which shall be held at the Manhattan Center, Sept. 20, nd 22. Also at this meeting, which shall he the last I shall be able to attend before my departure for the convention of the SNPJ, I want your suggestions, ideas, resolutions, etc., to present st this gath ering of active SNPJerp.
Members of Lodge 140 who have merged with Lodge 580 in electing a delegate shall have this opportunity to present their grievances to this elected delegate at their meeting on Saturday, July 13, when shall be present.
Joseph Mikoley was proposed for membership and is expected to be initiated, along with a few iuvenilqs who shall be transferred from the juvenile to the adult department on Friday. July 10.
It's a boy, who shall be named Peter Joseph, born on June 21gt. for Olga and peter Shalins. Our sincere congratulations are extended to the happy parents, especially the proud p^pa. Diana Lynn, the new daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A Svet shall be enrolled in the SNPJ "See Here" is a publication of the Youth Division of the American Slav Congress. Each month the issus? is full of interesting data contributed by the committee for the purpose. Now there is a search far subscribers for this interesting pamphlet, and if you are interested the price is only five cents a copy and sixty cents for tlje year. Contaqt the American Slav Congress at 200 East 42nd St.. New York City.
It is gratifying to note that a good many Juvenile Circle managers have been elected to attend the SNPJ convention. No doubt this one group that will demand a lot more attention and recognition for their work, which is no picnic. Only a few have undertaken the diffi cult task of beir\g adviser to a group of the younger generation, and only they arc in a position to know from actual experience, what problems face the Juvenile Circles today.
Remember at this time that the SANC campaign for the Children's Hospital Fund is still on. A few of our members have donated generously already, but there are stig some who haven't. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Kramarsich left with me check for fifty dollars for this fund We are indeed grateful for your generosity, and hope other members will follow your example. Every dollar counts, and no contribution is too small or too large to accept for this most worthwhile campaign
Our next meeting is scheduled to take place Friday. July 10. Please try to be present then.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3,

Dear Mr. Secretary:
We are a delegation representing the vast majority of Americans of Jugoslav descent in this country, totalling approximately one million. We have come to you, Mr. Secretary, to interpret the desires and convictions of these loyal Americans whp during the past war contributed so much to our victory over the common foe as soldiers fighting under the American flag and as indefatigable workers in our factories.
We are ^uttyrij^d to express t£e wishes of hei^ly a million Americans of Jugoslav descent who. as one, earnestly request that our .Government make avery effort to strengthen friendly relations between our great democratic country and the new democratic Jugoslavia which, by its resistance against the Nazi-Fascist eneitiy and its fight fax-true democracy, has made an indelible imprint upon the minds and hearts of all the freedom-loving people of the world. It Is vory natural that we, Americans of Jugoslav descent, should be especially concerned with the problems of Ju-oslav-American relations,
overlan
WjKi tharwtr I and
great anxiety.
The people whom we represent feel that in this crucial time it is important to recall that the people of Jugoslavia lit the flame of resist ance for the occupied nations of Europe, that they stood as a rock, alone and unaided, that their heroism and sacrifice of 1,600,000 lives materially shortened the war and saved countless American lives.
Jugoslavia is a member of the United Nations Organization. Jugoslavia is our ally/
As Americans we would expect that our Government would support Jugoslavia's natural aspirations and rightful demands to embrace within her borders all those Jugoslavs who for twenty-five years suffered under Italian oppression. Certain quarters, however, appear to be' supporting the claims of our former enemy, Italy. We, as well as the people of Jugoslavia, are deeply concerned by this injustice. Italy, who now lays claim to Jugoslav territory in the Trieste area, took American lives. Jugoslavia saved American lives.
The Jugoslav claim to Trieste and Julian March is, however, not based primarily on the fact that Italy is a defeated enemy. It is based on ir refutable historic, geographic, eth nic and economic grounds. Only on these grounds wiU it be possible to solve the Trieste problem withoqt sowing the seeds of future conflict.
The question of Trieste must be solved on its own merits. Trieste is not s pawn to be moved about on the chess board of power politics it is a living, breathiryi city, dependent on international trade for its economic life's blood. This trade flows inevitably through Jugoslavia and the Slavic hinterland of the Julian March. To take Trieste from Jugoslavia would be to cut its jugular vein, as was demonstrated during the period between the two wars when it became a deed city
Trieste is not now and never has been part of Italy's economic life line. Italy has an abundance of ports on Loth her coast lines und did not use Trieste when she had it Jugoslavia, on the other hand, has not a single port with adequate fa
cilitiep and practicable approaches.
It is important to note that Trw was never in history part of lu until after World War I when was given over to Italy m accord! ance with the terms of the secre Treaty of London.
Jugoslavs played the leading in developing the industry and c merce of Trieste. This is particui larly true of the shipping industry] The ship owners and ship builderl of Trieste — Cosulich, Tripkovich Martinolich, Premuda, Juroiuaich Topich, Kosovich, and Raohich-Were all Croatians from D^lmatii and the Istrian islands.
The raw materials which supply Trieste's industry came almost en tireiy from its Jugoslav hinterland Moreover, the Jugoslav Covers ment has guaranteed that the por of Trieste will be internationalize« and that no dupes will be levied any goods in transit no matter wha their origin or destination.
We feel, particularly in view the present discussion of the Triest question, .that all Američani shar with us the devout hope that th Ministers who are now meeting
will be able "t® SOlVt Uln problem in an atmosphere (re from passion and uninfluenced b rumor. It is fact, not emotioi which must dominate.
The Problems which still confron the Allies can be solved only on basis of friendship and understand
ing. ;
We ask, therefore, that our SUt Department, as the agent of th American people, reaffirms its tra ditional attitude of friendship fo the Jugoslav peoples and the gov ernment which it has recognized
Respectfully.

On the other side of the globe, in Paris, the Big Four conference is gill holding the spotlight of the world, with Trieste still as the toughest" problem on the agenda.
State Secretary Barnes continues to obstruct the solution of the problem by denying Jugoslavia's claim, while Foreign Secretary Molotov is trying to achieve a just settlement.
OH JUNE 27. a Jugoslav deputation was received by Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson in Washington, D. C.
The deputation presented a statement of declaration on the Trieste iaue, urging the State Department to settle the problem on a just basis. According to J. F.

CHICAGO.—Something like about the "umpire«"
fifty Circle members with parents went on an outihg last Sunday. Most of us traveled by street cars while some came out by autos. Our outing was held at the McCormick Tract, just across from the Brook-field Zoo.
We were glad to leave the city to cool off as we were sweltering in the 92's and 94'a for several days. Despite the fact that the weatherman promised us thundershowers. we braved the day. We just had to get out and "let out steam."
The day was started with playing of ball, with everyone getting their share. Skies looked threatening but we set the tables with our delicacies and dug into the food, which tasted extra good in "them thar open spaces."
Ann Sannemann then organised the children for some game contests, which we all enjoyed. Simple prises were awarded to the winners. Evelyn Urea was best runner and hopper for the under-ten-age group, while Grace Ann Gerdanc and Josephine Slansek copped the over-ten-age prizes. There were egg races and ball relays, for which the girls got that very scarce item, bubble gum. Edward Podbevsek and Frank Michalik copped boys' priges.
Now the extra super-duper event comes up with onlfc parents participating. Dorothy Sodnik copped many prizes with the hopping and the running plus the "husband calling" contest. Theresa Ures and Charles Rak won the double "hoppers" John Rak won the wife-calling contest and Bob and Ann San-neman took the wheelbarrow prize.
Some of us were so overcome with all this hilarity we were told that the funniest race was the wheelbarrow, but need I say more?
The next big event was a real ball game with two "good" teams battling it out. Did we have the fun! Each team had a name, and -Sylvia Trojar and thia writer were

MILWAUKEE, WIS.—A tot^i of 32 Badgers were*in attendance at our June meeting. A bigger crowd was expected, but the rain that came earlier in the evening probably had something to do with it.
The business at hand was taken care of in good order by our capable prexy, Tony Verbick. Transfer members accepted were Edward Shaffer, Eleanor Shaffer, Mary .Fritz* Caroline Frlta, Martin Fritz, and Margaret Rupar. Welcome to our fold brothers and sisters and let's make this a monthly get together, which means we would like to sec "ou as often aa possible at our future meetings. Edward Er-menc, who is in the service, was the winner of the monthly award. Lunch and refreshments were served after the meeting and the officers are to be complimented for their efforts.

Thank you Millie Bernick for your acknowledgement. It is nice to know that you out-of-townera do read our weekly tidbits. The feeling is mutual. I often wondered if the members at large are appreciative of their respective reporters who put in a lot of time and effort to keep their lodges in the news. A thought that I paas on to our editor who could devote an editorial to this matter and imoress the membership that these oeople are real fraternal lata at heart, and who usually are active in all lodge activi-J ties. That all news of interest to our membership «hould he fm Warded to these reporters, or better still, to jot down the news themselves and send them to Pro«veto.

We went to the zoo to see the most interesting things on oUr way home. Moat of us got plenty of sunburn and when we reached home we were very glad that the temperature was 'way down, so we could get a decent night's rest.
Even tho it rained, we could not have asked for a better time. It was a day many of us won't forget.

By June Cannan
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia. (ONA) —If you listen to some Americans here today, you get the impreaslon that the principal reason for the growing distrust between Americans and Jugoslavs is the abaence of a blackmarket.
For example, the writer overheard a resident American major briefing a dozen GIs stopping over in Belgrade on their way to Bucharest with theae words: "This country is no damn good. It costs a lot to live here, and lately you have to change your dollars at the legal rate."
That attitude is typical. Americans consider the present exchange rate of 90 dinars to the dollar unfair and hard to live with and. to their surprise, Jugoslavia, unlike any other country in Europe today, offers no convenient if illegal solution to the problem.
Any American, soldier or civilian, in Austria, Germany, France or Italy, who does not supplement his income by selling an occasional carton of cigarettes for anywhere between $10 and 8120 is rare aa a diamond on a beach and is considered an idiot.
In Jugoslavia cigarettes are cheap and plentiful, and furthermore a couple of Chesterfields left by your plate is not considered a decent tip by any self-respecting Jugoslav waiter.
The dollar is the only saleable item. At one Ume it brought as much as 300 dinars, but so effective haa been Jugoslav police control and so severe the penalties for Jugoslavs caught dealing in foreign currency that the illegal rate has dropped considerably.
Now the resident or visiting American Is lucky if he can find a nibble at 100 dinars to the dollar.
But in apite of the difficulty, a responsible Jugoslav official told me, nin« tenths of the dinars spent by Americana are acquired illegally.
"Certain newspaper correspondent«." he said, "have never seen the inside of the Bank of Belgrade "
He also charged that twice in the last sia weeks a Jugoalav go-between had been arrested in the process of changing the entire combined salaries of a substantial portion of the staff of the American Embassy In Belgrade
I can peraonally vouch for tke truth of one of Iheee incident« A friend of mine said good by forever to 200 of the several thousand dollars involved in the d*aL Asked what measures could be taken American offenders, the

Per fact Circla Family Outing A Happy Affair
CHICAGO —A perfect day. a perfect outing is being reported by Perfect Circle members and their parents. Although we started out last Sunday morning, from three different convenient meeting places, we all met at the last street-car atation. We then proceeded to our destination, the McCormick Woods near Brookfield Zoo. Counting noses that day, 48 were present, and almost all parents accompanied their children. It was gratifying to see such a happy and congenial group at our first family picnic.
A program of children's games took place early in the afternoon. Winnera In the various events were Evelyn Urea. Josephine Slansek. Grace Ann Gerdanc. Bradley Tichy. Frankie Michalfk and Edward Podbevsek. Then tke Circle members sat on the side-lines while "Ma and Pa" indulged In a session of game playing that was hilarious, if nothing elae. There were aeparate men'a and women's games, und then 'THE" couples events followed. Dorothy Sodnik was the winner In the "husband-calling," while Johnny Rak took the "wife-calling" honors. Chuck Rak and Theresa Ures won the three-legged race, and Ann and Bob Sannemann took the wheel-barrow hurdle. In a special egg relay, the husbands "massacred" their wives. It was all in fun, and I don't know who enjoyed themselves more, the children watching, or the parents participating.
The ball-game that followed was strictly a family uffair. Parents were intermingled with sons and daughter! on teams, with aunta »nj uncles and friends thrown in for good measure. The teams named themselves the "Knedliks" and the "Klobaaes". France« L. Rak was the umpire, and I'm sure Bhe waa happy that a sudden thunder shower stopDed the game at the end of the ninth with the score tied. Regardless of which team would have won, cries of "we. wuz robbed" would have filled the, uir. (Never mind, Fran, you did a swell job, seeing it was your very first "ump" Job!) 1
While we ate our supper, the weather cleared, the sun came out, and moat of us then viaited Brook field Zoo for the remaining hours before closing time. It waa a »»rand outing In every aenae of the word, and thus we came to the "end of a Perfect Circle,^yI"

Summer Activities of Juvanilo Circla No. 47
JOHNSTOWN. PA.—In the past few months we have taken two trips up to Non Lunen's Dam. It is six miles both ways. We had a good time both times. On our first trip up to Non Lunen's there were 48 members. The waiter was kept busy scooping out ice cream for about half hour.
On our second trip up, our Manager took a few pictures and only one turned out okay. (The boys found a chipmunk and took it home and the following day it died.) A few of the members lingered be-hind to pick a few flowers.
Elsie Msrine donated the Circle a ping-pong set. Some of the mem bers did not know how to play and as a result four balls were broken the first night I am the preaent champ at playing ping pong.
At our play nights we also play pinochle and checkers. Edward Sus-tersic and Charles Beam are our two champs at playing checkers.
We are going to celebrate our 4th anniversary by having a wiener roast as soon ss fodd supplies are more available. We usually celebrate our anniversaries by giving a program, but the people in Johnstown are not inn-raatad in programs Our victrola Is still a highlight of our evenings together. We have just purchaaed s few new records.

same official told me that Jugoslavs resent the A nut leans' disregard of Jugoslav law.
"But what can we doT" he asked with a shrug "We might send notes of protest, but ran you imagine the diplomatic tepercuaaionsT"
He admitted, however, that recently an American soldier had been arrested Also he hinted thst knowledge of roneiderable black-market activity might be the last straw before th< expulsion of a foreigner undesirable for other reasons.
On the other hand, Americans rationsllze their extra-legal activities by accusing the Jugoslsv Government of stshilizing the exchsnge at a ridiculously low rate as part of a deliberate effort to antagonise Americana

Report on New Jugoslavia
(Concluded from 1m* week.)
The total population of Trieste ia about 250,000, of whom tome 200,000 are Italiana. Of these Italians about 135,000 are industrial worker« and their families, The most active and dynamic political leadership among these workers, to which most of them respond, is that of the Com* munist Party and of the Communist dominated Sindicato Unico (roughly "The United Workers Union"). Tim argument of the Italian workers is that Italy for them meant 25 years of Fascist, social and political oppression and economic neglect. An international Trieste means for them an international regime run by the great Powers, and they do not want that either. On the other hand, when the Jugoslavs occupied the town, the Italian workers had a taste of the Jugoslav conception of liberty, which consisted in taking over the factories and purging them of the Fascist management, foremen, etc., and starting social activities, incldd-ing a house building program. They believe that on the terms Jugoslavia is offering them, Trieste would get full employment for its harbor and shipbuilding yards (at present there is 28% unemployment), which 4 would not get if divorced from its economic hinterland and deprived of Jugoslav goodwill, since Jugoslavia controls the communications to Trieste. They are quite satisfied with the federal status offered them in the new Jugoslav State and are of the opinion that they will, in the New Jugoslavia, have an opportunity of building the kind of socialist society in which they as workers believe.---;---;-
These Italian and Slovene workers have joined forces in an Italo-Slo-vene Liberation Committee, with an Italian Chairman and a Slovene Vice-Chairman and with a two to one Italian majority. They told us, that whereas Italians and Slovenes used to be like .cat and dog, they had shed their blood as comrades in arms now in fighting the common enemy in the Partisan Movement, and were determined to go on together in peace. They pointed to the success of the Jugoslav regime in solving the problem of federal equality between the constituent nationalities of Jugoslavia, and in establishing close partnership in arms during the struggle for liberation with the Partiaans of all Uv; surrounding countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Rumania, Austria and Italy) in aupport of their view that the Italian minority could expect fair treatment in the new Jugoslavia.
W« had a brief meeting with the leader of the "Italian" Liberation Committee, which stands for the union of Trieste with Italy. He said that he had been the leader of the local "Osopa" which waa the nationalist and "moderate" resistance movoment that operated within Trieste. He said its campaign con-slated of passive resistance and some sabotage on the railways, and that they took part in the final battle that liberated the town. It was recruited primarily from the middle class and students, although it included a minority of workers. He admitted that it was much smaller than the left-wing Partisan organization. the Garibaldini, recruited mainly from the Italian work ins class in Trieste and from anti-Fas-ciit elements, deserters, prisoners, etc . frorr the Italian troops in the vicinity The Garibaldini fought in the countryside abound Trieste to gether with the Slovenes as a united Ilalo-Slovrnc Heaistanre Movement and are the malnatay of the Halo Slov. tu l il., mi um Committee will its program fur joining Jugoslavia on Tito's terms that have juat been summarised
10. Wsr Criminals
We htaid detailed complaints from the Jugoaliiv Government, supported by lists of names and addre»ses. thj' the Allied military authorities in Italy and Trieate were not return ing war criminals wanted by the Ju gualsv Government, und weie em ploying notorioua Fascists in vartoui positions We were also told by AMG of the failure to obtain replivJ to their inquiries a* to what had be come of Italian deportees and pita one i a in Jugoslavia. In each ca*. neitht-i party knew of the other'a giievance in thia matter We then dtaeoveied that their waa an extra ordinarily rorr plicated aystem of eo.nmunwatlon between the two. go ins through a series of tnter-AllIrd auihoritu-a in l^mdon and Italy and plentiful bottleneeks The eommon aenae solution would appear to Ik* that AMCi in Trieste ahouid invite the Jugoslav Ciovernment to appoint aome form of observer or of flew I agent to art aa intermediary In the««-matters Ti e onlv objection made to thia auggvation in AMCi circle« waa that the Italians would then have to be aak«d to do the aame Jugoalavs look on this as another example of the tendency a'readv mention« d to put our allv. Jugusta via. on thr same footing as our ex en* my Italy, and point out that shmti t brv err running their own country, Italy la aliil under inter-
allied control and the Italian Government has only nominal powers. Even so, there seems no reason why, if AMG found it convenient, they should not also ask for an official Italian agent or observer in Trieste to supply them with information and transmit their request to the Italian Government.
11. Conclusion
The New Jugoslavia seems destined to grow out of the present regime and the forces of national resistance and pi-ogress that it has rallied. The present leaders state that they do not want to become a totalitarian government; they regard the general election as the first step to full social and political democracy. Nor do they desire to be in any one-sided or exclusive relationship to the Soviet Union. The USSR is their neighbor and their big brother for whom they feel very warm affection and admiration, with whom they wish always to be closely associated and whose influence in Jugoslavia will always be great. But they are a proud nation, jealous of their Independence and very desirous of friendship and cooperation also with the great Western Democracies.
We saw only a few instances.of the American and British flags hanging together with the Soviet and Jugoslav flags. But we did see everywhere photographs of Stalin side by side with that of Marshal Tito und the1 Soviet flag side by side with the nationul flag of Jugoslavia, on which the white eagle of the Monarchy has been replaced by the red
of which the new Jugoslavia is com posed (and indistinguishable in appearance from the Soviet red star). We asked Marshal Tito about this point and he said that on liberation the American and British flags were flown everywhere with that of the Soviet Union. They had progressively disappeared, not by orders from above, for no orders had been given, but simply because the humble folk who put up these flags had begun to feel increasingly disappointed and despondent about the attitude of the great western powers to their country. "You need not worry about our friendship," said Marshal Tito, "for it is always there waiting for a chance to show itself. What you have to do is to restore the confidence of our people in your good intentions. Once you do that you will be surprised at how much friendship we have for you."
Certainly we found everywhere a friendliness that was almost embarrassing In its warmth and its eagerness that we should understand the new Jugoslavia and what it was trying to accomplish. The transition from what Jugoslavia was before the war snd from the conditions created by the war, the civil war and Fascist oppression, to the new Federal State and the democratic system its leaders are attempting to establish is bound in any case to be difficult and attended by dangers. But these dangers will only be increased by Insistence in what the Jugoslavs regard a* a policy by the Western powers of pinpricks, unhelpfulness, moral patronage and moral preparation for some form of Intervention in their internal affairs.
In our view Great Britain can help ronsiderably in the solution of Jugoslavia's difficulties and in the avoidance of the dangers attending her ^construction effort by maintaining good neighbor policy toward that country, by supplying her with we can spare on generous terms and bv treating the new Government, which is very sensitive to foreign opinion, with confidence and friend (hip. There is no practical alternative to the present reglrre. Great Britain will therefore do well to ac c and encourage it and to seek its friendship.

CHICAGO.—Time calls us to our tasks for the Homecoming Celebration on Saturday, Aug. 3. Much work must still be done and the remaining thirty days allotted to polish up everything must be extremely busy days. Everyone of you Pioneers must do one of a number of things every day until Aug. 3. You should sell some subscriptions, organize groups to attend, publicize the event among your friends, se cure ads for the program book, and get into the swing with the com-n ittee to make the affair a complete success. Though twenty completed books were turned in last week, we've got to increase this pace. We've got a good start but we really must strike now, in the next, four weeks, while the iron is hot. Those turning in reports were: Frq/ik Lot-rich his twenty-fifth. John Simon ninth, Thomas Selak two, Frank Paulich two, Mary E Novak tenth, Donald J. Lotrich sixth. Frank Jir-masek fifth, Frank Videgar second, Walter Cirar, Joseph Zaitz, Wilma Imperl, Anna Reven, Frances Pod-bevsek, Mary Ruzich, Eric Carjson, Mary Carlson, and Josephine Palmer.

All who intend to roll with the league next season should designate their intention immediately. Wednesday night will be Pioneer bowling night at Cermak Bowl in the new season.

If we properly snalyze the situation and realize that.our conventiona are conaiderably different from the average American conventions and that practically all delegates aro active organizers for the SNPJ, I, tor one, am opposed to reducing the delegation, Our conventiona enable our delegates to mingle with their own kind and to learn considerably about the conduct of the SNPJ business. What we should do is to in-:rease the educational value of our conventions. Perhaps, we could have exhibits of how the secretaries carry on their work, or how the minutes should be kept. Perhaps, we could even increase the efficiency of the president's work. At any rate, we should look in the direction of getting as many of our active people '.o the convention us possible be cause the time »pent there can be at benefit to the individual dele ates and to the Society. As to the question of representation, It wouldn't be fuir to give a lodge of one hundred adult members the same privileges as a lodge of seven i und red members, unless you would give each delegate a vote for each nember he represents. If a lodge '-»as one hundred members, that dele ate should be eligible to caat a vote >f one hundied and if a lodge has three hundred members that dele gate should have a vote of three hundred
We should Ite able to work out better svstem of election of dele gates. It should be possible to put It on a trerit system. Every erne who wants to be a candidate fe>r delegate would have to do certain things within the four year period For one. vecure st least twenty new members For another, he'.p in the promotion of lodge activities, etc. Thus, we Would l«r assured that the most active mcmliers would be candidates

Our Western Trip: Waukegan-Fontana
FONtAfTA, CALIF.—On Friday, June 14, three of us left Waukegan, III., for a lovely trip to California by car. Our destination was Fon-tana. Calif,, which we are planning to make our home. The three included Mr. Ralph Routh, Milldred Bruce, and Helen Svete.
First of all We headed for Rock-ford, 111. Traveling on route 6, we went through Council Bluffs, Iowa, across the border, over the Missouri River, to Omaha. Neb. Continuing on route 6 it took us straight through Denver. Colo., where we arrived at 2 O'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, June 15.
In Denver we stopped at Tony Zagar's place, who owns and operates five units of modern tourist cabins, called Union FJacific Cabins, He is a former Waukeganite (North Chicago) and was very happy to see us. He also has a beautiful home of hia own. We arrived just in time .to get the last vacant cabin. Naturally, driving all night through, we were happy to hit that bed, as we were very tired. Just before we arrived in Denver, we saw the beautiful white-capped mountains from a distance.
After a three-hour rest, we went to visit the beautiful city, its parks and monuments. Then we drovf through many nice villages surrounded by high mountains. We even went to the top of a mountain, and it waa very cool up there.
We left Denver the following morning, Sunday, June 16, at 8:30. We started mountain climbing by automobile, headed for Salt Lake City, Utah. The air was cool and clear, while the day before in Omaha the temperature was 100 degrees. We bought a cake of ice, put it underneath the ventilator, closed the windows, and it was very cool in the car. No ice was needed driving through the Rockies.
Salt Lake City, like Denver, is surrounded by mountain®. Then we drove on and reached the border of Nevada. Before we entered California, we had to stop at the inspection station where our suitcases were inspected so we didn't bring any insects into the state of California.	'*■>•
We arrived safe and 4ound at our destination, Fonlana, California. Mildred Bruce and the writer are going to transfer from the Waukegan SNPJ lodge to the Fontana SNPJ lodge. Address: Helen Svete, 424 S. Juniper St.. Fontana, Calif.

Encourage your boy or girl to contribute letters, articles, poems, drawings, etc. Help him, if necessary, with his first contribution or two.

Mid-Weal League ... The attendance at the SNPJ Mid-west Athletic League meeting, last Sunday, waa rofits have only fair. Five lodges in all were represented—Badgers 584 by Anton Obluck, Sloga 14 of Waukegan by Lawrence Ogrin, Pioneers 558 by Edward Hudale and Frank Lotrich, In
We came through a very difficult period during the last five years, although in many ways it was a prosperous period, too, due mainly to the artificial economic prosperity resulting from the war. But, in so far as the social and recreational life of our lodges was concerned, there definitely was an enormous decline in a great many communities. War took away thousands of our best young men, among them many proven and potential leaders. Not only was this true, but the members, both women and men, at home, were kept too busy in their regular emploment, patriotic drives, relief campaign, etc. to be able to devote more than a minimum of spare time to. actual lodge work. On top of thia sorrows, worries and fears created an atmosphere in the homes that could not easily be circumvented. As a consequence activity in our lodges antj Juvenile Circles suffered for want of leaders and workers and, of course, attendance figures at affairs dropped to low marks.
Now and for some time past, these conditions have been changing for the better. Social affairs are beginning to draw large crowds and, despite the fact that certain kinds of refreshments are hard to obtain in sufficient quantities, pr< boon excellent. Many lodges and Circles, too, are taking advantage of these opportunities to improve
their treasuries and, at the same,	_____
enjoy the pleasures of fj^ndly so-J^Uy m fcy-toulg Baffetti and' Michael Fleischhacker, and Tkali-blasers 100 by Michael Vrhovnik. At his meeting it was reported that th* Badgers, Pioneers and Integrity would be able to field softball teams foivthe remainder of this season and that another attempt would be made to secure a fourth entry. A schedule, on a home and home basis, was drawn up, setting July 21 as the opening playing date. The meeting also approved golf and balina tournaments and, if possible, a Juvenile Field Day to be held in conjunction with them. Waukegan, because of its central ' location and facilities, especially between the Milwaukee and Chicago lodges, was chosen as the logical site for this tri-event affair. Brother Ogrin of Lodge Sloga was empowered to act for the league and make immediate contact, with officials of the local lodges. We are hopeful that they will accept the invitation and together proceed with the necessary arrangements.
A balina and a golf tournament, with a program of field events for juvenile members, would provide plenty of friendly competitive interest for all m id-west lodges, including lodges as far south as St. Louis, Indianapolis and Springfield. A balina tournament for men and women teams would in itself be a big attraction, and it is an event which deserves to be boosted* and promoted on a large scale, because it is a sport which will bring the young and old together, competing with and against each other. This, and the golf tournament and Juvenile Field Day, has the makings of a- really fine sports and recreational program for members of all ages. With full cooperation, particularly from lodges in Chicago, Milwaukee and surrounding localities, and a lot of good publicity in every issue of the Prosveta from now until the affair is held, its success would be assured. For that reason we appeal to our Waukegan SNPJ Lodges Sloga 14, Enakopravnost 119 and Little Fort 568 to accept the invitation of the Mid-West League and proceed with the work of providing a happy occasion for all of us.
cial contact. Sports andrecreational activities are beginning to boom. There is in progress a general upward surge all along the line. Lodges, who have been slow in readjusting themselves to the new trend, are urged to resume a full peace-time program of activities. They will find this advantageous both to the lodge, the members and the Society as a whole.
Juvenile Circles, as we have frequently propounded in this column, deserve the full support of every ledge and member, for through them we can perform a wonderful service for the members who belong to them, as well as the lodges and the communities in which they are established. .»Through them we can rcach into the minds of our juvenile members and instill a desire for lodge activities and a deeper regard for the welfare of their fellowmem-bers. Through them the juvenile members can also gain valuable knowledge of the true purpose of being united and organized in a Society like the SNPJ, and through them develop more quickly into leaders and agitators—loyal and true, in many respects like the Pioneers before them. That's why we urge every lodge to organize and support a Juvenile Circle. You can do this with as few as Beven juveolle .rembers—of course, the more the better. For details, write to the Juvenile Director.
A recommendation was made at Ihe meeting of the Supreme Board in February that a conference of Managers of active Juvenile Circles be held just as soon as condition permit. The Juvenile Director was in-itructcd to proceed with drawing jp the plans for this important event and to present "them at the next meeting of the Supreme Board. Ihe proposed conference should be an •oecarion for our Juvenile Circle Managers to come together for the purporc of exchanging ideas, dis-curssing their problems, drawing up a program, and to get better acquainted with each other. This, also, should be a time for an inspiring cultural program and, possibly, a handicraft exhibition and contest, narticipatcd in by juvenile members of the Society. This all youth event is all the more reason why new Circles should be organized now, so •hat more Circle Managers, new and veterans leaders, and more juvenile members will be represented at the onference and festival. With full :oopration from all prospective 'odges, we ran make this a truly outstanding achievement.
