AMERICAN IN SPIRIT FOREIGN IN LANGUAGE ONLY AMERICAN HOME SLOVENIAN MORNING DAILY NEWSPAPER NO. 3 CLEVELAND, OHIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5TTI, 1933 LETO XXXV.—VOL. XXXV. Novi predsednik Roosevelt bo moral računati z ne-številnimi problemi Washington, 4. januarja. — Nikdar noben predsednik, v mirnem ali vojnem času ni še imel toliko težavnih problemov za rešiti kot jih bo imel novo izvoljeni predsednik Roosevelt v letu .1933, v četrtem letu največje depresije, lcar jih je doživela dežela. Od kvalitete njegove državniške zmožnosti in od poguma, kako bo nastopal pri reševanju teh problemov je odvisno, če se ameriški narod zopet vrne v normalne razmere. Sle-; deči problemi čakajo Roosevel- i ta, da jih reši: Dohodki ameriškega naroda, ki so znašali v le- j tu 1929 ogromno svoto $85,000,-000,000 na leto, so padli v letu 1932 na $38,000,000,000. Svo-ta skupnih privatnih in javnih dolgov se računa $200,000,000,-000, in ameriški narod plačuje letno obresti na te dolgove nezaslišano svoto $10,000,000,000. Zvezna, državne in mestne vlade imajo na leto $15,000,000,000 stroškov. Trgovina in industri-1 ja počiva. Več kot 10,000,000 ljudi je^ brez dela, in precej od teh živi v skrajno zapuščenih razmerah. V preteklem poletju so se pojavila znamenja, da se razmere boljšajo, toda ves položaj je danes zopet oblačen. Zvezna vlada posluje že tretje leto z deficitom, in da lahko izplačuje račune, si neprestano izposojuje nove svote. Tako si je izposodila zvezna blagajna tekom treh let nezaslišano svoto $5,000,000,-000. Javni dolg zvezne vlade, ki je znašal junija meseca, 1930, samo nekako $16,000,000,000, znaša ob začetku novega leta ; nad $21,000,000,000. Da ima : ] zvezna blagajna tako ogromen deficit, sta dva vzroka: prvi je, ker ima zvezna vlada še vedno , Preveč nepotrebnih izdatkov,!, drugi vzrok je pa, ker ne dobi- j va več davkov kot so proraču-njeni. In dočim je imela zvez- . na vlada v letu 1930 še $4,000,-1' 000,000 dohodkov, so ti dohod-'j J1 Padli na $2,000,000,000 v le- j u 1932. Kako bo rešil Roose-ta vprašanja, od tega je od-Vlsna bodoča usoda ameriškega! naroda. i ---—o----j; Novice iz Loraina . "i Na 29. decembra zjutraj je1, "mrl Anton Krhin, star okrog j let. Stanoval je na vzhodni j cesti. Zapušča soprogo [ sedem otrok. Ranjki je bil do- j ma iz vasi Mihovce, fara št. Jer-1. na Dolenjskem. Bil je člah { društva sv. Cirila in Metoda št. 1 KSKJ in ustanovitelj iste-' ga, ter društva Bled št. 17 S. N. • J- Naj bo ranjkemu ohra-! njen blag spomin, preostalim pa izrekamo naše iskreno sožalje. Podporni člani pevskega zbora "Naš dom" prirede v soboto januarja.ob 7:30 zvečer prijetno domačo zabavo pevpem in Pevkam zbora v SND. Prosi se, da so vsi podporni člani navzoči, kakor tudi, seveda, vsi pevci in Pevke. Bo to prav prijeten ve-čer. Vstopnina je prosta. Sodnijski stroški Mrs. Mary Maček je te dni vložila potom svojih odvetnikov tožbo na apelatni sodniji Cuya-, hoga okraja, da se dožene, če je odredba sodnikov Common Pleas sodni je, ki določb, da mora vsakdo, ki vloži tožbo na omenjeni sodniji, plačati $10.00 kot garancijo zja plačilo sodnijskih stroškov. Mrs. Maček trdi, da vsakdo lahko vloži tožbo, ne da bi bil potreben depozit na sodniji. Država New York je znižala proračun letno za $25,000,000 Albany, New York, 4. janu-| arija. Država New York bo mo- j rala preskrbeti, oziroma razpi-. sati za prihodnje leto za $75,-000,000 novih davkov, in to kljub temu, da so pravkar izbrisali iz proračuna $25,000,000 izdatkov, sicer bi morali razpisati nove davke v svoti $100,000,000 ^a leto. Da ima država, tako ogromne izdatke v letih depresije je pripisati obilni podpori, ki jo daje država New York brezposelnim. Toda splošno mnenje prevladuje tako med postavoda-jalci kot tudi med novim gover-nerjem Lehmanom, da je bilo leto 1932 najslabše, da je naj-hujšs minilo, in da bo v letu 1933 država imela dohodke, o katerih danes še ni misliti, in da končno ne bo Potrebno razpisati nove davke v taki visočini. Novi go-verner Lehman zelo nasprotuje, da bi se znižale plače državnih' uslužbencev, pač pa je za to, da se odpravijo razni visoki uradi, ki so deloma nepotrebni. V državi New York, so ljudje plačali v preteklem letu za $64,000,000 manj davka kot leto prej, dočim so zahteve stavljene na državo, veliko večje. Samo podpora brezposelnim je znašala $50,000,000, tako da je država zaključila svoje letno poslovanje z deficitom okoli $100,000,000. -o- Francija ima novost: knjige iz stekla Paris, 4. januarja. Francoski književni trg ima veliko novost: v prodajo so prišle knjige, ki so delane iz barvanega stekla. Po mnogem trudu se je posrečilo iznajti steklo, ki je elastično in nezlomljivo, nekaj enakega kot je upeljanega. ('zadnje čase pri avtomobilih. Nove knjige iz stekla veljajo nekako $20.00 v ameriški vrednosti, ker so pač novost in so se ljudje kar trgali za prve izdaje. Prvi dan je bilo prodanih 6000 takih "steklenih knjig." -o- Tom Kljun umrl Včeraj popoldne kmalu po eni uri je umrl dobro poznani rojak Tomaž Klun, star 51 let. Zadnja leta je živel na farmi v Genevi, v Clevelandu je pa preživel 32 let. Doma je bil iz vasi Bukovica pri Ribnici. Zapušča ženo, štiri hčere in enega sina, v starem kraju pa dva brata. Ranjki je bil član društva Ribnica, št. 12 S. D. Z. Truplo ranjkega začasno počiva na 1032 Wheelock Rd. Pogreb ranjkega se vrši v soboto zjutraj ob 9. uri iz cerkve sv. Vida pod vodstvom Frank Za-krajšek. Podrobnosti iz življenja Toma priobčimo jutri. Želi biti državljan Charles Gregory, 7608 Lawn Ave., ki je pretekli teden prišel v urad zveznega pravdnika v Clevelandu in mu vrnil državljanski papir, rekoč, da ne želi biti več ameriški državljan, ker ne dobi dela, se je sedaj premislil in je včeraj prišel po svoje papirje, katere je prej pustil v zveznem uradu. Izjavil je, da ne vidi rad, da ljudje o njem go-jvorijo, kot da neče biti državljan. Gregory je bil svoje dni zaposljen pri mestni vladi. Rodom je Anglež. Sedem oseb zgorelo Iz Shelby, Ohio, se poroča, da je tam zgorelo sedem oseb v neki stanovanjski hiši. Zgorela sta oče in mati Miller in pet njunih otrok. Miller za znižanje plina, elektrike, telefona in proti kaznim na davke Župan Miller je prišel sinoči pred mestno zbornico, kjer je prečita] svoj program za leto 1933. V celoti je podal župan Miller 25 točk svojega letošnjega programa in prosil mestno zbornico, da sodeluje z njim, da se v teh časih depresije naredi čim več koristnega za mestne prebivalce. Župan Miller zahteva, da se nemudoma stopi v dogovore z Electric Illuminating družbo, ki daje elektriko Clevelandčanom, da se znižajo cene. Nadalje zahteva župan, da mestna zbornica nemudoma preskrbi z gotovimi odredbami, da družba cestne železnice upelje gotove gospodarske zboljšave, tako da se stroški družbe znižajo in se omogoči znižana voznina po železnici, ki j a že zdavnej potrebna. Zbornica je bila začudena, ko je prišel župan Miller osebno v dvorano in zahteval besedo. Po- ,leg gori omenjenih točk je žu-, j pan še omenil, da bo program mestne vlade za leto 1933 sledeč: Uspešna zakljueitev boja s! plinsko družbo za znižanje pli-! i novih cen. Mesto Cleveland se j naj pridruži drugim mestom j države Ohio v skupnem boju j proti telefonski družbi za zni- ■ žanje cen telefona. Nobenih j mestnih bondov se letos ne sme j izdati, razven za absolutno po- j trebile stvari. Ustavi se naj j vsako mestno poslovanje, ki ni! absolutno potrebno za blagor prebivalstva. Ognjegasni oddelek, ki je v žalostnem stanju, j naj dobi potrebno pomoč, i Povečajo naj se mestni dohod-' | ki z raznimi licencami na gotove ■ j trgovine in podjetja, ki posluje-j jo sedaj brez licence. Mestni j elektrarni naj se posveča pra- j vilna pozornost, da bo še nada-j lje oddajala poceni elektriko.1 Ustanovi naj se obširna farma,' na kateri bo lahko hkrati v poletnem času prebivalo 1,000 otrok revnih staršev. Mestni prora- [ čunski sisem se mora modernizirati. Cestne luči naj se pozneje prižigajo in prej ugasujejo. Pri tem se prihrani lahko $200,000 na leto. Predvsem pa je župan pov-darjal, da naj se naredi postava, glasom katere se onim, ki so zaostali z davki radi depresije, ne •smejo računati kazni in obresti za zaostale svote, in naj se jim da prilika (15 let, da plačajo redni davek. Navzoči councilmani so z naj-!večjim zanimanjem poslušali j program, kot ga je razvijal župan Miller. Končno je vprašal predsednik zbornice, Marshall, če | želi župan imeti tiskan svoj go-' jvor v mestnem zapisniku. Mil-i ler se je izjavil, da bi to preveč ! veljalo, sicer pa ima vsak coun-'ci'man en iztis njegovega pro-' grama. Japonska je preklicala svojo pogodbo z Rusijo glede ofenzive in trgovine Moskva, 4. januarija. Japonska je uradnim potom odpovedala pogodbo med Rusijo in Japonsko, v kateri pogodbi se je mako Rusija kot Japonska zavedala, da ena drugo ne bosta napadli. Da je Japonska preklica-a podpisano pogodbo z Rusijo, je stvar največje važnosti, še pred enim letom so bile razmere med Japonsko in Rusijo silno napete, bolj napete, kot si je mogel svet predstavljati. Med Japonsko in Rusijo je pretilo, da pride vsak trenutek do vojne radi najmanjšega vzroka. To je bilo še v spomladi leta 1932. Takoj potem pa so nastali prijateljski odnošaji med Rusijo in Japonsko, in pozno v poletju je prišlo celo do pogodbe med obema deželama. Japonska je prvotno hotela, da Rusija podpiše pogodbo, v kateri priznava neodvisno državo Mandžurijo, kar je pa Rusija odklonila, podpisa-a pa je pogodbo, da ne bo napadla Japonske, toda to pogod-30 je Japonska sedaj porušila, kar pomeni, da Japonska lahko vsak čas napade ruske postojanke v Sibiriji. Japonski nastop je skrajno začudil vse diplomatič-ne kroge. -o- Rusi dajo petrolej, Kanada pa svoje krave Ottawa, Kanada, 4. januarja. Pogodba med Rusijo in med Kanado je že skoro podpisana, in glasom katere bo dala Kanada 100,000 dobrih krav, Rusija pa vrne Kanadi enako vrednost v petroleju. Računa se, da znaša vrednost te pogodbe nekako sedem milijonov dolarjev. Rusija je jako zadovoljna s to kupčijo. -_0- Zaroka Mr. Karl Kokal, sin družine Mr. in Mrs. Karl Kokal se je na božični dan zaročil z Miss Emo Sezon, hčerko Mrs. Mary Sezon. Obilo sreče! 40 (mož dobilo delo American Shipbuilding Co. je poklicala na delo 40 svojih starih uslužbencev. Delavnice se nahajajo v bližini jezera na W. 54th St. Hitler prerokuje, da postaja svet precej zrel za komunizem Muenchen, Bavarska, 4. januarja. V svoji novoletni poslanici, katero je poslal Adolph Hitler, vodja nemških fašistov, svojim pristašem, pravi, da svet koraka polagoma komunizmu v naročje. Vzrok temu je, pravi Hitler, da buržoazijski državniki nikakor ne vidijo nevarnosti, ki preti svetu in poslujejo naprej, kot bi svet ne poznal no-; benih novih potreb. "Propast sveta/' je rekel Hitler, "je le vprašanje časa. Posledice za človeštvo bodo strašne. Zastopniški današnje družbe nimajo niti pojma, kakšna nevarnost jih čaka." Kar se tiče Nemčije, je Hitler izpovedal, da more Nemčija dobiti rešitev samo v fašizmu, ki je že enkrat rešil Nemčijo pred popolnim propadom, ki je grozil od "zakrinkanega komunizma." Sedanja nemška vlada ni nič boljša, pač pa nadaljevanje politike von Papena. Nemška država je posvečena pogubi, ako se razmere ne spremenijo. Toda nemški fašizem bo končno triumfiral. -o-- Magda Lupescu bila na božič umorjena? Berlin, 4. januarja. Iz Varšave prihaja vest, da je bila v Bukarešti na božični večer umorjena Magda Lupescu, bivša ljubica romunskega kralja Karla. Toda ta poročila zanikajo v Bukarešti. Na Magdo je bil že enkrat narejen napad, ko je neki poročnik vdrl v njeno sobo, toda je bil napaden po psu kraljeve ljubice, tako da se je umor ponesrečil. -o-—- Prvorojenček Tetica štorklja je obiskala včeraj družino Mr. in Mrs. Elsie Borso, 986 E. 69th St. in jim pustila krepkega sinčka - prvorojenca. Mati je hčerka družine Joe. Lovšin. Naše čestitke! Prostitutke Mestni sodnik Phillips je včeraj odredil, da ne bodo izpustili nobede aretirane prostitutke pod osebnim bondom, dokler ne bo aretiranka zdravniško preiskana. Mestni posredovalni urad za delo naznanja, da se razmere zboljšujejo Ravnatelj mestnega in držav-1 nega urada za delo v Clevelandu naznanja, da je bila druga J polovica lanskega leta glede dela i veliko boljša kot prva polovica, j Daši je bilo večina del v decembru sezonskih radi božičnega nakupovanja, pa je vendar tudi od j mnogih industrij prišlo več vprašanj kot navadno za nove j delavce, in v teh časih mora biti človek tudi s tem zadovoljen, se 1 je izjavil C. J. Seiple, predstoj- j nik posredovalnega urada. Sei-! ple je izjavil, da zlasti mala pod-! jetja vprašujejo po gotovih delavcih, dočim iz velikih podjetij ne prihaja dosti naročil. Tekom lanskega poslovnega leta so v j mestnem posredovalnem uradu j imeli opravka s 330,320 ljudmi, j za delo so jih registrirali 56,-678. Izmed teh jih je potom posredovanja mestnega urada dobilo 23,156 delo. Vseh del je i i bilo razpisanih nekaj nad 26,-000. , J--o-:- Po desetih letih se bo vršila obravnava Iz Michigana se poroča, da se i bo tam začela obravnava napram Wm. Foster ju, voditelju komunistov, ki je bil aretiranj leta 1922, toda se je znal potom odvetnikov doslej ogibati sodnijski obravnavi. Najvišja sod-(nija je odloČila, da mora Foster pred sodnika radi javnega hujskanja. -—o- Ely se jezi župan mesta Euclid. Charles Ely se je precej razjezil pri zadnji seji mestne zbornice, ko je councilman Birl po njegovem mnenju nekaj nepoštenega očital. Ely je bil pripravljen celo udariti s pestjo, toda tako daleč ni prišlo. Cene cigaret Dočim so se cene cigaret znižale v prodaji na debelo, pa to ne bo vplivalo na prodajo cigaret na drobno. Prodajalci na drobno imajo tako neznaten profit pri prodaji cigaret, da ne morejo cen znižati. * Cene nekaterim cigaretam se bodo znižale. Zanimive vesti iz življenja naših ljudi po ameriških naselbinah Pavla Vogrič v Milwaukee, j Wisconsin, se je pred dvema letoma in štirimi meseci z drugimi izletniki SNPJ vred vračala iz1 Jugoslavije. Ko je bil parnik Mauretania par sto milj od New Yorka, je Pavla, pobrala na krovu prazno steklenico, napisala na listek svoje ime in naslov s pripombo, naj ji najditelj; piše, j nakar je listek vtaknila v steklenico, jo dobro zamašila in zagnala v morje. Na odgovor se- j veda ni upala. Zadnje dni se je pa nemalo začudila, ko je preje- j la pismo iz Nantuckett, Massa-1 chusetts, od nekega Walter j n i Holmesa, ki ji je sporočil, da je j pobral steklenico z njeno noto 29. novembra, 1932, na severno-vzhodnem obrežju otoka Nantucket po hudem viharju. Steklenica je bila cela in listek v dobrem položaju, nič zmočen. Pavla Vogrič sedaj verjame, da je morje še vedno "dober poštar." Letno zborovanje glavnega odbora K. S. K. Jednote se prične 23. januarja,-1933, ob 9. uri dopoldne v Jolietu. Glavni predsednik, tajnik, blagajnik, duhovni vodja, vrhovni zdravnik, ves nadzorni odbor, ves finančni odbor in predsednik porotnega odbora bodo navzoči. Vrši se revizija knjig in računov. Društva, ki imajo važno zadevo, naj blagovolijo to spoVočiti najkasneje do 17. januarja na glavni urad Jednote. ::; v1'''.-.

De- i mokratsko stranko čaka ogrom- j na odgovornost v bodočem poslovnem letu, ko bo treba ure-! diti proračun. Dokazano je, da -Zedinjene države imajo vsak mesec $100,000,000 več stroškov j kot dohodkov, in da tako dolgo j ne more naprej, je očividno. No-vi h davkov nakladati je nemo- j goče, ker niti starih ne plačuje- i jo, in je torej očividno, da se morajo stroški znižati. Kje in j kako, o tem bo morala odloČiti: nova vlada. --c--; Tudi razporok ni Depresija je vplivala v prete-; klem letu tudi na razporok« željne ljudi. Lansko leto je samo 3319 zakonskih parov vložilo prošnje za razporoko:, dočim jih je bilo v letu 1931 kar 4551. Te-:| mu primerno je padlo tudi šte- s vilo porok, katerih smo imeli tekom leta 1932 samo 5435, dočim jih je bilo v letu prej 7593. V letih depresije je vedno manj I porok in razporok, ker oboje je j združeno s precejšnimi stroški. Slučaj Potter ja Ncvi državni pravdnik v Clevelandu, Frank T. Cullitan, je izjavil, da bo tekom enega tedna predložil veliki poroti nove do-ikaze, ki se tičejo umora bivšega j republikanskega c o u n c i lmana iPotterja. Pozneje bo tudi imel , kaj povedati glede primanjkljaja v znesku $500,000 v okrajni davčni blagajni. r Gospodinjam priporočamo Gospodinje, oglejte si cene v današnjem oglasu Narodnega trgovskega kluba, ki so posebno | nizke za petek in soboto. Tam boste videli tudi imena in naslo-jve trgovcev, ki spadajo v ta klub. Izberite si bližnjega in okoristite se s cenami, ker so res izredno nizke. Naši trgovci vam bodo prijazno postregli. Vojna grozi mnogim državam v letu 1933. Amerika skuša narediti sporazum Washington, 4. januarja. Leto 1933 bo usodepolno in usodno za mnoge narode sveta, in dogodki leta 1933 bodo zapisali usodo mnogim narodom za dolga leta. Do vojne bo prišlo v Evropi, v Aziji in v Južni Ameriki, o tem so diplomati, ki zastopajo razne države v glavnem mestu, prepričani. Liga Narodov, ki je bila ustanovljena, da poravna spore med narodi in prepreči bodoče vojne, je dokazala svojo popolno nezmožnost. Na Daljnem Vzhodu se pripravlja Japonska, da ugrabi 'bogato kitajsko provinco Jehol, in nevarnost preti celo glavnemu mestu Peipingu. V Južni Ameriki se je že pričela vojna med Bolivijo in Peru, in skoro gotovo je, da se te vojne udeleži tudi republika Ecuador in Brazilija. V Evropi se Poljska in Nemčija gledati kot pes in mačka radi poljskega koridorja. In Italija grozi neprestano Jugoslaviji, dočim so Jugoslovani prepričani, da 800,000 Jugoslovanov ne more trajno bivati pod Mussolini-jo, In v slučaju, da nastane vojna med Nemčijo in Poljsko, in med Italijo in Jugoslavijo, Francija ne bo nikdar ostala mirna in bo •šla tako Jugoslaviji kot . Poljski na pomoč, ker je njih dobra zaveznica. In med Japonsko in Rusijo niso razmere nič kaj ugodne. Rusija tvori ogromno vprašanje s svojo dobro urejeno armado. Medtem pa bodo ameriški diplomati prisiljeni delovati z vsemi silami, da topovi ne eksplodirajo v Evropi in po cstalem svetu. In napram vsemu temu stoji skoro združena Evropa, ki je pripravljena vsak trenutek izjaviti, da ne bo nikdar plačala $11,000,000,000, ki jih dolguje Ameriki. V očigled vsega tega je pričakovati velikih dogodkov v letu 1933, --o———- Proslava Jednotinega dneva Liga ohijskih društev priredi v nedeljo 15. januarja Jednotin dan KSKJ in sicer popoldne in zvečer v Grdinovi dvorani. Take zanimive prireditve še sploh ni bilo v Grdinovi dvorani. Nastopila bodo razna lokalna društva s svojimi točkami, pa tudi društva iz Loraina in Barberto-na bodo prišla s svojim programom. Pričetek slavnosti je točno ob dveh popoldne. Ta dan bo tudi ena mladih Jednotaric proglašena za "Miss Ohio." Vsak član in članica KSKJ in tudi drugi, naj se udeleže te lepe prireditve, čisti preostanek je namenjen revnim družinam društev KSKJ. Vstopnina je 40 centov in velja za ves dan. Avto licence Da srede so lastniki avtomobilov v Clevelandu in okolici vzeli nekako 175,000 avtomobilskih licenc. Ker je pa vseh avtomobilov v Clevelandu in okolici re-jgistriranih nekako 250,000, pomeni to, da še 75,000 avtomobi-j listov ni prišlo po nove avto licence. Policija aretira one, katere dobi na cestah s starimi licencami. Plačal po 34. letih Charles Rosenburg, ki prodaja na Ontario St.srnodke, je dobil včeraj pismo in v pismu ček za $5.00. Neki neznanec laiše, da je pred 34. leti v njegovi trgovini dobil škatljo smodk v znesku $4'.50, toda plačal ni. Sedaj pošilja svoto, da poravna račun. So še pošteni ljudje na svetu.

Entered as second class matter January 5th, 1909, at the Post Office at Cleveland, Ohio, under the Act of March 3d, 1879. 83 No. 3, Thu., Jan. 5th, 1933 Pomoč ob pravem času Omenili smo v zadnjem članku, da ima Slovenska Dobrodelna Zveza poseben sklad, v katerega plačuje sleherni član mesečno po 10 centov. Temu skladu pravijo "Pokojninski in onemogli sklad." Glasom pravil je namen tega sklada sledeč: Ko član doseže 65. leti Starosti in je popolnoma onemogel in nesposoben za vsako delo in zaslužke, je opravičen do $20.00 mesečne podpore iz tega sklada do svoje smrti. To je ena določba. Druga pa je, vsak član in članica Slovenske Dobrodelne Zveze, ki doseže *70. leto svoje starosti, brez ozira, če je zdrav ali bolan, je opravičen do $20.00 mesečne pokojnine do svoje smrti. Teh dvajset dolarjev na mesec dobi sleherni član in članica Zveze, brez ozira na to, če je potreben ali ne. Poleg te mesečne pokojnine pa dobiva vsak član in članica tudi redno bolniško podporo v slučaju bolezni ali nesreče. Težko dobimo pri kaki bratski organizaciji enako podporo. Tekom let, odkar člani plačujejo v ta sklad, se je nabralo v njem nad $60,000, in ker je denar tega sklada posojen tudi na dobre obresti, prinašajo same obresti skoro $3,-000.00 na leto, poleg tega, da člani letno vplačujejo v ta sklad nekako $8,000.00, iz česar je sklepati, da se "Pokojninski in onemogli sklad" letno zviša za okroglo $11,000. Kolikor je nam znano, dobivata danes dva člana Zveze mesečno podporo iz tega sklada. Lahko se zgodi, da v kratkem pridejo še drugi zraven, ki bodo opravičeni do podpore, in jih bomo končno imeli v mesečni pokojninski podpori, mogoče trideset, štirideset. Sam asesment članov in članic bi zadostoval, da se redno plačuje vse te podpore, ne da bi bilo treba rabiti obresti, ki jih nosi sklad. Vprašanje pa je, koliko naših ljudi dočaka starost sedemdesetih let, da bi bili opravičeni do starostne podpore in dobivali pokojnino? Zelo, zelo redki so taki naši rojaki. Kdor se zanima za Statistiko umrljivosti naših rojakov, ta bo tudi vedel, da je povprečna starosti naših ljudi, ki umirajo, 49 let. Eden izmed 500 bo dočakal starost nad 70 let, drugi se bodo že prej poslovili od tega sveta. In ko premišljujemo, da je tekom lanskega leta pustilo Slovensko Dobrodelno Zvezo nad 600 članov in članic, ker niso mogli plačevati svojih asesmentov, in če pomislimo, da je v skladu za onemogle nad $60,000 in da tega denarja se zlepa še ne bo rabilo za člane in članice, ali ne bi bilo umestno, da se začne plačevati iz tega sklada asesment za one brate in sestre, ki so v resnici brez vsakih sredstev, ki so poznani kot taki pri svojih društvenih bratih in ki se tozadevno izjavijo na društvenih sejah? Seveda je potrebna pri tem skrajna previdnost in pa-znost. Vsak posamezen slučaj bi se moral natančno preiskati, in po temeljiti društveni preiskavi bi se smelo ime takega člana predložiti vrhovnemu odboru v priporočilo. Imamo sicer danes pri Slovenski Dobrodelni Zvezi pota in sredstva, da se članstvo obdrži pri Zvezi s pomočjo Zveze. Toda ta sredstva niso zadostna, poleg tega pa se zaklada danes za članstvo iz skladov, ki niso primerni za to. Izmed vseh skladov bi bil najbolj primeren pokojninski in onemogli sklad. Te vrstice niso napisane iz namena, da bi se izkoriščalo pokojninski sklad, napisane so, da se pri Zvezi ohrani stotine članov in članic, ki so tekom dolgih let radi plačevali asesmente v Zvezo, ki so prispevali stotisoče dolarjev v Zvezo, da imamo danes močno blagajno, toda morajo ti člani in članice danes eden za drugim puščati organizacijo in denar, katerega so pomagali spraviti skupaj In to ni bratsko, to ni dobrodelno. Zveza je sicer na dobičku, če člani puščajo do gotovega števila organizacijo, kajti Zveza ima s tem mnogo manj obveznosti, toda bratsko ni. Z denarjev v pokojninskem in onemoglem skladu se da pridržati stotine članov in članic pri Zvezi, ki bodo pozneje, ko se razmere spremenijo, radi povrnili, kar so dobili, ali pa bi se upeljal sistem, da se odpovedo podpori na starost do s vote, katero bi prejeli v obliki plačanih asesmentov, dokler so nezmožni plačevanja. Na vsak način je pa potrebno, da se nekaj tozadevno ukrene, kajti lansko leto smo p''i Zvezi ' črtali 600 članov in članic, in koliko jih bomo v letošnjem letu, kakor ne pred njim in ne za njim nihče na svetu. Pa še nekaj. Mr. Anton Gr-dina bo prinesel 300 čevljev dolgo sliko, to je procesijo Sv. Reš. Telesa v Newburgu, ki jo je posnel in ki vas bo vse, ki ste bili v procesiji, postavil na oder SND. Koliko je Slovencev, ki niso bili še na odru našega doma, v nedeljo bomo imeli pa vsi priliko videti samega sebe. Pa tudi trgatev v stari domovini bomo videli. Gotovo se bodo naše misli podale za hip nazaj čez širno morje, tja v staro domovino. Saj najlepši čas v stari domovini je bil gotovo čas trgatve. Gotovo se nam bodo obudili spomini, kako so pridna in brhka dekleta hitela v vinograd, fantje pa z brentami na rami. Vse to in še več bomo videli za 35 ali 25 centov. Ves preostanek gre v cerkveno blagajno. Kar storimo ali darujemo za cerkev, darujemo za hišo božjo, za tistega Boga, katerega rojstvo smo pred kratkim tako veličastno praznovali. Naj ne bo Slovenca, farana fare sv. Lovrenca, da bi v nedeljo ne bil v naši dvorani. Pa tudi vi, ki ste oddaljeni od cerkve, tudi za vas so pripravljeni najboljši prostori. West Side, Randall, Maple Heights in od drugod, za vas bodo najboljši sedeži, le pridite. Ako pa kdo ne more priti zvečer, ima priložnost priti popoldne. Popoldne je pričetek ob 2:30 za otroke in tiste, ki bi morda zvečer ne mogli priti. Zvečer ob 7:30 za odrasle. Skoro vsa društva so že imela svoje takozvane letne ali glavne seje, le društvo Sv. Imena še ne. Da pa tudi to društvo ne bo brez odbora, je naznanjeno vsem članom, da bo v nedeljo 8. januarja letna seja popoldne po lita-nijah. Pridite vsi, da se vsaj enkrat v letu vidimo, da se poznamo in da naredimo nove načrte za v bodoče. Kdor ne more plačati asesmenta, to je 60 centov letno, samo naj naznani, pa bo dobro. Pomnimo, da vso zavarovalnino, katero imamo pri raznih društvih, zapustimo svojim dedičem, le zavarovalnino, katero nam nudi društvo Sv. Imena, ponesemo seboj v večnost pred sodni stol. Vsem članom pa priporočam: povsod, pri vsaki priložnosti priporočajmo naše društvo svojim rojakom, da bomo imeli mnogo kandidatov, kadar bomo imeli zopet sprejem. Vse cenjene čitatelje nam tako priljubljenega lista Ameriške Domovine pa prosim za oproščenje, ako so se v minulem letu dolgočasili z mojimi dopisi. Vam pa, g, urednik, najlepša hvala za trud, ko ste radevolje priobčevali moje slabotno pisa-renje. Vsem pa želim, da bi bilo leto, katerega smo ravnokar nastopili, bolj zadovoljno. Jacob Resnik. BODITE PREVIDNI V TEH ČASIH! ODGOVOR KRONIKARJU ..............» ' D OPISI ..,„,. t . . ■ i t—-—•—•—» » « «—•—* * * *— Cleveland (Newburg), O. — Minilo je leto 1932. Šlo je v po-zabljenost, ni ga več. Prav je, da je šlo, nihče ne bo žaloval za njim, saj ga ni bilo nič prida. Pa vendar je bilo po drugi strani tudi dobro. Dobro je bilo zato, ker smo ga srečno in zdravo preživeli. Dal Bog, da bi bilo leto, katerega sedaj začenjamo, boljše in da bi ga bolj zadovoljni zapustili, kakor smo minulega. Da se pa pripravimo za novo leto bolj s zadovoljnostjo, nam 'društvo "Krka" uprizori v nedeljo 8. januarja prelepo igro "Na Betlehemskih poljanah." iDasi je bila igra že igrana 21. [decembra minulega leta, toda iker je bila jako mala udeležba, i se igro ponovi. Vsebina igre je tako lepa, da bi bilo škoda, da bi i jo ne videli vsi farani. Pridite vsi, da vidite v kakšni revščini je bil rojen Kralj vseh j kraljev, Kralj nebes in zemlje: iv vsem uboštvu, v revni štalici, j pa v veliki slavi in veličanstvu, Cleveland (Collinwood), O.— Kdo bi si mislil, da se bo kroni-kar-Jontez tako hitro zaobrnil! Z dne 15. decembra piše v Prole-tarcu nekako takole: Družina Lokar je veljala za napredne v naselbini že dolgo let. Mrs. Lokar je včasih mnogo pisala v Prosveto. John Lokar st. je bil do teh bojev zelo aktiven član kluba št. 49. Toliko o družini, ki je zdaj na strani Johna ml. S temi besedami je hotel kro-nikar dati nekako zdravilo za vse njegove nesramne laži in napade, s katerimi nas je obdeloval cele mesece v Proletarcu in Prosveti. Mislil je: nihče mi ne odgovori in s temi besedami bom rane pomazal in vsfe bo zopet pri starem. Nemalo pa je bil kronikar razočaran, ko je nekega dne, ko se je najmanj zanesel, dobil obširno klofuto na njegove napade v Ameriški Domovini. Besnel je, kot kak razdivjan vol, ko je čital odgovor in potem smo bili pa zopet vse drugo, samo ljudje ne. Čakala sem, da je kronikar •Jontez vso žerjavico izbruhal iz sebe, potem sem mu pa odgovorila v A. D. Take in enake dopise, kot jih pošilja Jontez v Chicago, more pisati samo kak zarukan hribovec, ne pa kak "pisatelj," ki zna tako strašno lepe povesti pisat, kakor si domiš-ljuje Jontez da jih zna. Menda ja, literat pa tak! On piše, kdo so bili izvoljeni v odbor kluba demokratske stranke 32. varde in med njimi tudi "neki" John Lokar. Ni pa zapisal, ali mlajši ali starejši. Kaj misliš, Jontez, da boš Ti diktiral kje in kaj naj Amerikanci delajo, ko še ameriški državljan nisi! Nadalje piše, da se je ves prepir začel radi tega, ker je J. L. ml. dobil mestno službo. Potem sta pa začela napadati Barbič in Jontez iz same nevošljivosti. Torej ali nista vidva začela ves ta prepir? Jaz pa stokrat rajši vidim, da moj sin J. L. ml. rad dela in skrbi za prihodnjost, kakor pa da bi čakal, da bi drugi zanj delali. Tudi se mu ni treba bati, da bi ga nekega dne pridne čebelice vrgle iz panja, kar se čisto lahko zgodi z Jontezom, ker čebelice ne marajo delomrž-nih trotov. Dalje piše, da mu ni prav, da kako društvo povabi na svojo prireditev kakega mestnega odbornika za govornika. Veš Jontez, društvo št. 614 SNPJ ni vedelo, da Tebi ni prav, ker so povabili župana Millerja. Saj jim menda ne bos zameril, ker niso tega vedeli in niso najprej vprašali kakega hribovskega diktatorja za dovoljenje. Bodi potolažen, Jontez, se bodo morda pa drugič ravnali po Tvojem nasvetu, kar pa težko verjamem. Ali Ti je bilo po volji, ko je povabil klub št. 49 za shod za govornika prejšnjega councilman« Waltza? Ali je on socialist? Vidiš, kronikar, kako se biješ sam po svojih čeljustih! Vidi se pač, da ničesar ne razumeš, samo dik-tifal bi rad, pa- Te noče nihče poslušat. Pišeš, da se zatekamo v klerikalne liste. Seveda se, ker v Chicagu ni prostora za odgovor, ampak samo za napade. Kam se pa zateka Barbič? Ni še leto minilo, ko je tedensko napadal "E" in njenega urednika, sedaj pa ravno v tisti list piše. In tudi vi ste se že dostikrat zatekli v lokalne liste, dasi so vam tudi včasih kaj odklonili, včasih pa tudi kaj priobčili. Jontez piše, da ako bi on dobil kako anonimno pismo, da bi ga enostavno vrgel v peč. Jaz pa ne bom naredila tega, ker vem za pošiljatelja istih. Zadnjič sem pisala v Prosveti, da bi mi poslali tudi slike, ker bom dala iz teh pisem vezat knjigo. Joj, 'kako hitro sem ; bila uslišana. Niso mi sami poslali slik, ampak njih najboljši prijatelj, kateremu ste zaupali. Prinesel mi jih je in kar je še najbolj paradno je to, ker je še narisal psička na verižici. Pa o tem bomo malo kasneje razpravljali. Ako hoče kaka Jontez-Podgoričanova glava videti slike, so mu na razpolago, sicer jih bo pa pozneje lahko v javnosti videl. Zdravstvu j, Jontez, za danes, se bova pa še drugič kaj pomenila. Saj časa imaš dovolj, ko nič ne delaš, jaz imam pa tudi dovolj časa na razpolago. Lena Lokar, ongava mama. Gotovo ste brali v tem listu večkratj tako in podobno novico: Neznani roparji so odnesli rojaku N.N. vse njegove prihranke. Ni zaupal nobeni banki svojega denarja, imel je spravljenega doma, kjer je mislil da bo najbolj varen. Pa so zvedeli za ta denar dolgoprstneži, pa so denar odnesli in se par dni dobro imeli za žulje neverjetnega človeka, ki je mislil, da je njegov dom varnejši za denar, kot najmočnejša banka. Take stvari se dogajajo danes dnevno in se še bodo, vsaj toliko časa, dokler bodo na svetu ljudje, ki ne zaupajo denarja bančnim zavodom. Pred dvema letoma se je nekaterih ljudi polastila panika, pa so jemali denar iz bank in ga zakopavali doma v kleti, ali ga spravljali v take ki^aje, kjer so mislili, da je varen. Toda minili so dnevi, minili so meseci, minilo je leto in banka, kjer so imeli poprej svoje prihranke, pa le ni hotela zapreti vrat. Vršila je lepo naprej svoje dolžnosti dnevno, izplačevala denar na zahtevo, jemala nove vloge, hranilne in čekovne. Nekateri so zopet prinesli svoje zakopane zaklade na dan in jih nesli nazaj na banko, kjer so ga naložili na obresti. Nekateri so pa še, ki ga tiščijo doma in si kratijo spanje, ker niso nikdar sigurni, kdaj bo prišel nepoklican človek in mu bo odnesel ves denar. Nobena stvar ni tako skrita, da ne bi postala očita in tudi malokateri denar je tako dobro skrit, da ne bi zvedeli zanj dolgoprstneži. S takim človekom, ki ima velike vsote denarja doma in je okraden, nima nihče simpatije, žalostno je res, če pride kdo po taki poti ob vse svoje prihranke, toda čisto sam t si je kriv, in sam naj nosi svojo ^ žalost. t Posebno se to lahko reče za naše ljudi, ki imajo vendar na i razpolago močno in1 zanesljivo , banko, The North Americanj( Trust Co., kamor lahko brez skr- i ( bi vlože svoje prihranke. Člo- ] vek bi že skoro ne zameril ljudem, če ne bi zaupali tujcu, ampak če ne zaupajo svojemu roja- ( ku, svojemu lastnemu bančne- , mu podjetju, takemu človeku ! pač ni pomoči. ( Pisali smo, celih trinajst let smo že pisali: ljudje, rojaki, vložite svoje prihranke v domače bančno podjetje, kjer poznate vse direktorje, vse uslužbence, vse može, ki vodijo banko! Mnogi so nam sledili, nas poslušali in ti se danes ne kesajo. Kdor je sledil našemu časopisu in zaupal slovenski North American Trust banki, ta ve, kje je njegov denar, ta ve, da ga lahko dobi vsak čas, kadar hoče, ve, da je njegov denar in da mu nosi obresti. Tak človek danes pač lahko mirno in brez skrbi zaspi. Slovenska banka, North American Trust Co. ima kampanjo za nove vloge. Kampanja traja do 15. januarja. Vse vloge, ki bodo prinesene do tega dne v banko, bodo nosile obresti od 1. januarja naprej. Take kampanje prirejajo vse banke, toda s tem razločkom, da ameriške banke pošljejo svoje uslužbence za novimi vlogami, od slovenske banke pa gredo v prvi vrsti direktorji osebno med narod. Kdor ima kake pomislike o tej edini slovenski banki v Zed. državah, sedaj lahko vpraša o tem direk- ■ torje, ki vam bodo odgovorili na vsa vprašanja naravnost in odkrito. Ako je še kdo, ki nima vloge na slovenski banki, ali če : ima še kje drugje kako vlogo, ■ naj jo prenese v domačo banko. ■ Nobena banka vam ne more da-: ti za vaš denar večje garancije, i kot jo nudi North American - Trust banka. Ta banka se šteje, , da je ravno tako močna kot druge, saj je to dokazala s tem, da - je šla skozi zadnjo krizo varno i in sigurno. Banka, ki je imela - svoja vrata odprta zadnjih par . let, se mora šteti da je res varna in taka banka bo ostala, ima za-sigurano bodočnost. Ena takih . bank je vaša slovenska banka, North American Trust Co. Ali nismo lahko vsi ponosni na tako bančno podjetje? Na podjetje, ki je naše in vaše! Vsak rojak je prijazno vabljen, da shrani svoj denar v slovenski banki. Imeli boste zavest, da ste tudi vi pomagali postaviti in vzdrževati to edino slovensko bančno podjetje v Ameriki, zakaj vlagatelji so tisti, ki lahko vsako, banko postavijo na višek, ali pa ji zaprejo vrata. Banka mora obstati samo, če ima vlagatelje, ki banki zaupajo, vodstvo banke pa potem ta denar posodi na varna posojila, da lahko plačuje obresti naprej in pomaga domačim ljudem do njih lastnih domov, jim pomaga iz zadrege. Vsaka kampanja North American Trust Co. se je še obnesla in tudi sedanja se bo, o tem ni dvoma. Zakaj pa tudi ne, saj dobi vsak prijazno postrežbo in kar najbolj želi: vso varnost za svoj denar. Torej prijatelji, zaupajte svoj denar slovenski banki, North American Trust Co., pa boste lahko brez skrbi zanj! -o- VARUJTE SE PREHLADA in sovražnika člove&tva: pljučnice!

Simčič, tajnica. Veselica "Naprednih Slovenk" Komaj smo prekoračili staro leto in stopili v novo, že si morajo organizacije in društva zamisliti program za leto 1933. Malce se bojimo, da bo imelo to leto na sebi še kake posledice niinulih dveh, toda upanje v boljše, ki ga imajo "Napredne Slovenke," št. 137 S.N.P.J., je večje. Te se zlepa ne podajo in zato bodo priredile v soboto večer dne 7. januarja plesno veselico v spodnji dvorani S. N. Doma. Ta januarska veselica je bila vedno največji uspeh društva v sezoni, zato' bo nedvomno tudi v soboto. Hojerjevi fantje, si boste morali rokave privihati in prste zmasirati, da bodo plesni ktima-di nekaj posebnega za udeležence o čemur seveda niti ne dvomimo. Naše članice pevke so povabile svoje prijatelje pevce, torej lahko veste kaj to pomeni. Kjer so pa fine žene in dekleta ko so "Napredne Slovenke," fini godci, fina kapljica in prigrizek, tam mora biti zabava popolna. Da bom podprla dejstvo, da se človek pri Naprednih Slovenkah res dobro zabava, naj vam služi v dokaz tole: Mr. Berko-pec in Frank Somrak sta se na zabavi po letni seji tako dobro imela; da sta prosila za vstop k društvu, da bi se smela udeleževati rednih sej. članice smo vest z veseljem sprejele in direndaja ni bilo ne konca ne kraja. Končno sta se junaka večera od gi-njenja. objela in ob navdušenem aplavdiranju zaplesala zadnji moški solo-ples. čast njunima ženkama da sta ju pripeljali seboj. Sprejeta bosta pa k društvu oficijelno v soboto večer. To je posnemanja vredno. Kdor je vesel in zabaven naj ne zamudi te prilike in nos. naj Girard, O.—Tukaj je en človek, ki bi rad vedel, kakšen rojak da je Frank Barbič: ali je Dolenjec, ali je Gorenjec, če ni mar Rus? Mora pač imeti dosti časa, da tako brazda po Prosveti in Proletarcu in ki je sedaj dobil svoj prostor tudi v Enakopravnosti. Take zdražbarije in napadanje ne prineso listu napredka. Kaj nas brigal kar imata dve osebi med seboj, ko jih ne poznamo. Ako bi poznal oba, bi človek lahko sodil. Najbolje' bi bilo, da bi se take stvari rešile doma, ki so za javnost brez pomena. Le škoda je papirja za zdražbo med narodom. Barbič naj bi pri vsakem svojem članku dal tiskati tudi svojo fotografijo, da bi videli, če imamo opravka s človekom, ali piše tiste bedarije kaka druga zverina. P. D., Dolenjec.

Valentin Vodnik. 3. Slovenec ni priseljenec v svoji domovini, kakor sta se priselila Nemec in Italijan, pač pa biva Slovenec na svoji slovenski zemlji že iz istih pradavnih časov, ko so si prvi ljudje poiskali selišč v Evropi. Valentin Vodnik je bil mnenja, da so bili slovenskega rodu stari Ilirci, ki so bili naseljeni ob ^Ja-dranskem morju in so že davno pred Rimljani gospodarili na morju. Mnogo učenih mož je pozneje pritegnilo mnenju Vodnika. Vendar nam zgodovinski viri nedvomno pričujejo, da se je naseljevanje Slovencev v sedanjih pokrajinah pričelo šele proti koncu šestega stoletja po Kristusu, da so takrat prej šn j i prebivalci bili premagani in se deloma izselili, deloma pa poslovenili in se strnili z novimi naseljenci. Kaže se nam v isti dobi popolen preobrat verskih in družabnih razmer, ki bi bil nemogoč, ako bi bilo isto prebivalstvo že prej v teh krajih. Zato moramo zgodovino naših dežel ločiti v dve dobi: dobo pred prihodom in dobo po prihodu Slovencev. GONAN DOYLE: Dolina strahu in groze NATIONAL WATCH & JEWELRY REPAIRING J. C.

ROSA In last week's issue of the "Soap Box," I presented a resume of the problem confronting us. This week I should be equally erudite and give a solution. Frankly, I can't do that. I can give my personal conviction of what may be a solution; I can give what I think will be a way out, but I cannot give or guarantee a cure-all. After considering many sick benefit payment schedules arid after studying the by-laws of some of the more important fraternal organizations, I have evolved a payment schedule which, if not the most liberal, is certainly one which should prove attractive to both the prospective member and the active membership. It is a policy more liberal than can usually be found in the by-laws of most organizations, and at the same time it will preserve—or rather, help preserve—the iund. Following is the pro-Posed changes in the by-laws: • • ■ If after the expiration of twenty-six weeks the illness continues, he or she shall from then <>n and for not more than tiventy-xix weeks be paid a sum equal to one-half of his or her full sick benefit. In no case shall any benejit be paid after the expiration of fifty-two (52) weeks of the illness." As will be seen, no change will be made in the length of the full payment period. It will remain at 26 weeks. That J one^ makes the S. D. Z. outstanding in the fieid of frater_ organizations. Thirty-six and 90-day periods are the rule rather than the exception. The S- D. Z. offers six months of full benefit. Nothing more need be said of that—it speaks for itself. In the length of half benefit Payments, however, I propose a charifee. Over and above the 26 weeks of full benefits, the S. D. Z. will give only an additional 26 weeks of half benefits instead of the indefinite Period as is provided for in the Present by-laws. This change Would affect a saving which, al-n°Ugh small at present, would make a noticeable change in |he monthly disbursements of tne sick benefit fund. It would guard against making the S. D.

The outstanding, and therefore the most surprising discovery I "lade in my perusai of several y-laws was that most organizations pay full benefits °r "nly 90 days; in some cases to its are st°PPed after t ju-day period.

This series of two articles were written with the hope and intention of pres-; enting clearly what we must do' very shortly. And, if possible,! to suggest a means or mode of making the change. If they have served to clear up this particular phase of the conduction of our organization, 1 will consider myself amply repaid. In conclusion I would suggest that the Central Committee AIIS.D.Z.TEAMS 10 SEE ACTION IN INTERLODGE Modern Crusaders, Eastern Stars and Clair-woods on Week's Bill Let's See What We'll Do in 1933 Next Wednesday will see all three S. D. Z. teams entered in the Interlodge cage loop in action at the St. Clair Bathhouse. This for the first time since the league opened a month ago. It can therefore be expected that quite a large S. D. Z. following will be on hand for the tilts and all three clubs bearing the S. D. Z. banner can look forward to plenty of support from the galleries. The undefeated Clairwoods will open the evening a hostilities at 6:15 when they take on Comrades, a powerful club who have yet to hit their real stride. The S. N. P. J. entrants have ahVays been a potent threat in any sport and their record on the hardwood to date gives sufficient warning to the Clairwoods that they will have to be up on their game if they hope to maintain their unblemished record. The third game on the card brings to the fore an all-Col-linwood battle which should furnish plenty of excitement. The Modern Crusaders meeting the St. Joseph Sports. Both aggregations have strpng teams and are battling for recognition in the circuit. There is little to choose between either one, though the Crusaders are fa-vored: through their more impressive record. Both quints, however, have fallen before the Victorious stride of the Clairwoods. In the final game of the evening, the defending champions will take on the Eastern Stars, S. I). Z.'s fighting crew from Collinwood. The Stars fight hardest and play best when the going is the toughest. They'll be up against plenty of odds when they face the champs Wednesday, but can be counted upon to acquit themselves with glory whether in defeat or victory. gXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTXXXXZXXX? Last week, we briefly outlined what was accomplished by the English-conducted lodges of the Slovenian Mutual Benefit Association during the year just passed. Part of that success is no doubt due to the fact that a definite goal was set for that year. This year, Ave will not attempt to set any definite goal. The-uncertain conditions of the present day make such a procedure unduly hazardous. Still we can not afford to be without some sort of a goal for this year. We therefore take the liberty to express what we hope to see come to pass in the ranks of the English-conducted groups during these next 12 months. In this manner, too, we place the burden of the fulfillment upon the groups for whom we make these predictions. Perhaps they may resent this presumptuousness on the part of the S. D. Z. News and then again (we hope) they will see the game of it and do their best to meet these expectations. At any rate, it will be quite interesting to compare the accomplishments of 1933 at the end of the year, against what we have set down here today. Here they are. Read 'em and cuss ye editor : The Modern Crusaders to have a membership of 200 by the end of the year. The Clairwoods to have the largest and most active English-conducted lodge in the St. Clair Ave. Slovenian district. The Slovenian Young Men's Club to come out of their lethargic state and start back up the ladder. (We don't expect them to quite reach the heights they once held and dominated, but we do hope to see them well on their way to that position.) The Central Committee's Olympic Day to far surpass the 1932 affair in every respect.

The hall willl be decorated in the effect of hard times and costumes of hard times will be worm by the guests. The admission for this affair will be 25 cents.

Sunday, Jan. 29, the Crusaders and all their friends will gather in an all-day party at the Slovenian Workingmen's Home, Waterloo Rd., to commemorate the event. The day's program will open in the afternoon with a vaudeville revue presented from the stage of the auditorium. Some of the best of the local talent has been billed to appear in this portion of the program and from all indications the guests will be treated to a most entertaining afternoon. Souvenir program booklets will be distributed at this time. Following the stage presentation the guests will adjourn to j the lower hall where food and refreshments will be served to all those remaining for the evening's dancing. Though dancing to the tunes i of Jack Nagel's Crusaders or-Ichestra will be the main attraction in the evening, the committee in charge of the affair i has p 1 a n n e d several novel stunts they plan to introduce at this time. In keeping with the conditions, only 35 cents will be charged for admission. One ticket admitting the bearer to both the afternoon and evening pograms, providing he does not leave the hall in the interim. social affairs with a public party this winter and that the committee will likewise increase its service and usefulness to the various lodges to a degree heretofore believed impossible. That the Comets will be the suprise group of the year and that their increase in activity and membership will be the greatest of any English-conducted lodge in Cleveland and vicinity. (In proportion to their present standing, of course.) The Martha Washingtons will take advantage of their numerical strength and their after-the-meeting entertainment program will be the talk of the town. We are counting upon the young ladies to introduce a series of novel affairs during 1933, especially their parties after the meeting. (This is news to you girls, isn't it? Don't disappoint us though.) The Magic City Juniors will come to the realization that theirs is the most fertile field. Their growth will be nothing short of sensational. The Modern Knights will successfully survive that hard-to-get-by second year. Not only will they survive, but they will actually flourish. Something unusual in organization circles, when the let-down following the first year enthusiasm usually proves disastrous. Athletically the S. D. Z. will establish a name for itself, winning the Interlodge basketball (what nerve that guy's got!), and baseball crowns. And that, gentle reader, just about sums up our expectations for this year. To have them all fulfilled is well nigh impossible. But is better to have aimed high and missed than never to have aimed at all. Let's see just how close we can come to fulfilling all! Oat of i he Mail "Bag crxxxxxxxxx rxxxxxxxxxxxxxn Joseph A. Rosa, third vice president of the Slovenian Mutual Benefit Association and S. D. Z. News columnist, appeared in a new role last Saturday morning when he served as best man for George Kanoti at Lorain, 0., last Satuday. Rosa lives in Canton, O. The occasion was the marriage of Antonia Rosa, sister of the S. D. Z. head, to Kanoti. The nuptial was performed by the Rev. Ludwig Virant at the SS. Cyril and Methodius Church. The bridal pair will honeymoon to Long Island, N. Y. Upon their return they will be at home at 1765 E. 29th St., Lorain, O. Two S. D. Z. basketball aggregations performed on the Interlodge card at the St. Clair Bathhouse before some 250 of the locality's cage fans last night. One of the outfits, the Clairwoods, kept their victory list unblemished, while the other Essdeezee quint, the Eastern Stars took a lacing from the Loyal ites. Zalokar, Jenc Sparkle With Joe "Lefty" Zalokar, former Cathedral Latin court luminary and "Long" Joe Jenc leading the Clairwood offensive drive, the Green and White quint registered their fourth victory of the current campaign, by trouncing the Serbian A. C., 23 to 11. "Lefty" tossed in two goals and three fouls for seven points, ^ while Jenc flipped in two fouls and two field goals for a total of six markers. As usual the Clairwoods reserved their heavy bombarding for the second half. In that chukker, they scored 15 points, yet they held the Serbians well in hand, allowing them to tally only four points. By virtue of their win, they still are tied with the Pioneers for the loop leadership. Stars Are Walloped The Eastern Stars simply couldn't get going, so they were the unwilling victims of a 41 to 14 setback from the hustling Loyalites, last year's runners up. Offensively, the Stars couldn't do much. Nagy scored five points and Opalich four to lead their point-making efforts. Butch Fisher (Rypka) sparkled for the winners with 15 points. The other S. D. Z. quint entered in league competition, the Modern Crusaders, drew a bye. In the other games on the bill, defending champions the Pioneers, kept pace with the Clairwoods in the standing, by taking over the St. Joseph K. S. K. J. Sports, 31 to 21 and the Comrades finally broke into the win column by soundly triumphing the Pogressives by a 29 to 13 score. Stretch Meehan twinkled for the Pioneers by ringing of 15 points, tallied on seven field goals and one charity toss. De-benak starred for the victims with seven points. Eddie Zaletel's 12 p o i n t s played a prominent part in the Comrade attack. Hank Sedusky also scintillated for the winners.

We have learned that Fay, the new entrant to the Modern Knights Lodge, left for Florida last week. She will be gone for six months. Lucky! Tillie Klemen was hostess to a group of friends from Bar-berton, 0., last Sunday in her home, Waterloo Rd. Don't forget the Modern Crusaders Anniversary Dance, Jan. 29, at the Slovenian Workingmen's Home, Waterloo Rd. Jack Nagel's Orchestra is scheduled to play for the dancing which is to begin at 7:30 p. m. A vaudeville show is to be staged in the afternoon on that same date. The Crusaders are planning a great anniversary day. Don't fail to attend the all-afternoon-evenmg program. In answer to "Mickey's" request, regarding hills for sleigh riding, I wish to inform him that at the Euclid Creek, E. 185th St. and Nottingham Rd., the hills are plentiful. How about that ride now? Have you obtained your new lodge member yet? By THE FOX Exit 1932 "What Has Done for You" was clearly explained in last week's S. D. Z. News. We most heartily agree that the Central Committee, headed by Frank M. Surtz, was the backbone of the organization's progress, cooperation between the heads of the various lodges is the well planned foundation upon which this growing structure is being built. Unquestionably, we are proud to be a member of this great S. D. Z. family. Perat Victorious Jimmy A. Perat, Crusader prexy for 1932, was rewarded for his fine work with another term in office. There was little opposition to his election. A very good selection, say we. His body guards and keen eyed assistants for the coming year will be Frank Yarm (better known as "Drug Store Cowboy") as vice president; Martin Valetich, one of the important cogs in the Central Committee, secretary and Louis Kochman, treasurer. Let's hope the Crusaders are as successful in this year as they were in the last. Our congratulations. P. S. For the benefit of those coming in late—the Fox is paying a visit to the Crusaders at their next meeting. Clean Sports If you are a lover of clean, competitive sports and an S. 1). Z. booster, than you just cannot afford to miss seeing our S. I). Z. basketball tossers in action. They cavort regularly each Wednesday evening at the St. Clair Bathhouse. Come on, join the crowd at the games and lend those three S. D. Z. teams, the Clairwoods, Crusaders and Stars, your vocal and moral support. All three have strong quints and can be counted upon to wage a merry fight that league championship. A Tip And just by way of satiating your curiosity as the identity of "The Fox"—not that gallant quadrupel of racing fame-—we venture this information. The lodge of which the scrivener is a member has the letters A. S. and A in its name. Take your pick between the Clairwoods, Eastern Stars, Magic City Juniors, Martha Washingtons and the Modern Crusaders. Simple, is it not? Yes, it is not! Business and Pleasure Far be it from the Fox to make it a practice of combining business with pleasure, but banking is business and it sure is a pleasure to receive that Christmas Club check when December rolls around. And just by way of reminder, wt» ask you, "Have you started your Christmas Club yet?" To paraphrase an old advertising term—"It's easy to save the Christmas Club way." Our apologies, Max. Clairwoods Hats off to the Clairwoods, those galloping gamesters wh<» leap from victory to victory— and back again, just for good measure. Their bucketeers are veritably burning up the Interlodge league to heap fresh laurels on an already overcrowded brow. Incidentally, they look forward to a banner year in 1933 with an experienced band of navigators at the helm of their ship of state. Admiral Kogoj is the mariner barking out the orders. take up this matter at their next session for consideration. Representatives of the various lodges can at their next meeting explain the situation to ' their respective memberships, reporting back to the Central i Committee concerning the | wishes of their lodges concern-ling the matter. In this way | the Central Committee through one of its representative lodges Clairwoods Keep Interlodge Slate Clean in Win Over Serbian Club; Eastern Stars Lose h RAY J. GRDINA t -—i-i A Bon Voyage for 1933 Tactful Writer Describes Party Glorifying Gilded Lilies CLAIRWOODS AND PIONEERS FIGHT FOR LEAGUE LEAD Both Teams Picked to Win Over Foes in Coming Tilts A new year. A new deal, new life, new hopes, new resolutions and new beginnings. We naturally look forward with fond expectations to that which is in the offing—that which is new. We full well know that the realization never comes up to the expectations. But that knowledge does not deter us. We are activated solely by hope and ambition and set out upon the new course full of confidence in our own ability and that the gods of good fortune will shower us with their favors. Perhaps that is why we have greeted 1933 so enthusiastically. We are re-. A palm, a whole floral shoppe, or at least a monument to the contemporary who in writing a party tactfully described it thusly: "A luncheon of club sandwiches was served." What the hostess really trotted out for the guests was klobase sandwiches. Don't say we told you . . . More garlands to music-man George Olsen, whose ethereal disturbances have been making the long, cold nights bearable. His opening and sign off "train" number is by far the best in the business . . . What became of the "Lullaby of the Leaves"? . . . Besides all the nationality movements to the contrary, we'note the ever increasing number of the younger generation whose Slovenian names have undergone a change in spelling and pronunciation, changing them to anything from French to Irish. But after all, what is in a name, besides letters? Nothing. Like the comic strip character, Popeye: "I yam what I yam." And there you have the whole garding that young gentleman as the savior who will ultimately raise us up out of the depths of despair to which we have fallen and restore us to the plains of prosperity we once so contentedly roamed. Just what the coming months 'have in store for us we do not know. But the glamour of that new deal and a new life leads us to lay plans, builds up our ideals and fans that spark of hope so necessary if we are to carry on. And so planning and hoping we embark upon the uncharted seas of 1933. May all our journeys be pletisant ones. Bon voyage! And Rhapsody No. 2 (originally named "Rhapsody in Rivets") from the musical pen of one George Gershwin falls far short of his "Rhapsody in Blue," Paul Whiteman's theme song . . . Incidentally, Mr. W'hiteman, of whom you may have heard, is once again proving his right to the title of "King of Jazz." But it is a new type of jazz he's playing these days, and unless we, miss our guess, it is the sort of music that will be the vogue ten years from now . . . All right, have it your way, but it won't be the first time we've been wrong . . . Sure, we picked Notre Dame, too. thing in a nutshell. You are what you are. And for all the changes in your name, none'of them will make you a better person. A lily would still be a lily under any other name. A dunce is still a dunce no matter what title you might give him. Indentities are not mere matters of spelling or pronunciation. Garbage still smells like garbage to this writer no matter if it is given a French pronunciation. With the Interlodge basketball scramble now well under way, the interest of the followers of the cage loop simmers down to the race that the two loop leaders, the Clairwoods and the Pioneers, are putting on to stay at the top of the heap. As this was penned, neither had yet tasted the dregs of defeat. Considering the merits of their next week's opponents, both clubs should, mind you, we say should, remain unbeaten. As we've remarked before, there is always a possibility of the ol' apple cart being unexpectedly upset.

Grdina & Sons quint, set the pace for the pinsters with a smashing (592 series on games of 201, 269 and 222. Meanwhile brother Harold, another Grdina kegler, was helping his team :io a trio of triumphs over the Candy Men with a 618 score. Frankie Udovic's 670 series was a brilliant but futile effort to stave off defeat for the losers. Well up in the scoring column for the evening was lanky "Lindy" Kotnik, ace of the Demshar Builders pin smashing crew. Kotnik rapped out 235, 222 and 180 games for a total of 637 to stake his league-leading teammates to three wins-over the Slapnik Florists. The other whitewash victory of the evening saw Joe Prosek help his Norwood Sports upset the Zakrajsek Undertakers thrice with a 615 total on i games of 177, 215 and 233. The Sports blasted a 2605 and the Undertakers I felled 2490 maples. | Some fine lumber smashing by A. i Mills featured the Bukovnik Studios' double victory over the Potokar Five. Mills tallied 615 on 191, 233 and 191 counts as the Photographers chalked up a 2688 total. The losers hit 2612. Barth 'Big Six' Alich's 647 Featured in Grdinas' Win After dropping the first game by 27 pins, the Grdina & Sons bowling quintet came back strong to Win the next two games and the series from the Prompt Printing five in the Euclid-13th Home League last Tuesday. Barth "Big Six" Alich followed up last week's 742 performance with a neat 647 score to again set the pace for the league-leading Grdinas. He collected this week's high score on single installments of 182, 222 and 243. Incidentally, his same teammate, Friedel, was the only other kegler to top the 600 total with a 610 series. The winners retaliated with a pair of 1000 games to wind up the evening's activities with a grand total of 2929. -o- Stag Party Held Last Tuesday by Local Lads A stag party was in order last Tuesday night when a group of fellows gathered at the home of Mr. Anthony Kotnik, 1057 E. 61th St. A novel orchestra, composed of Tony Trinko, accordionist; Tiny Strauss, ban-joist, and "Lindy" Kotnik, "drummer," furnished syncopation of old and new tunes. Delicious "club" sandwiches were served at midnight to whet the appetites of the attending guests. -0- WINS PRIZE 1, At the Woodmen Circle's New Year Eve ball held at Public Hall, Mrs. Josephine Seelye was awarded second prize in the ticket selling contest. The prize was a wristwatch. She is a member of St. Clair Grove No. 98 and the society. Hold Interlodge Meeting- at St. Clair Bathhouse Tonight An important Interlodge meeting will be held tonight at the St. Clair Bathhouse, it was announced by Heinie Martin, president of the loop. At that time a motion will be introduced that no new players will be awarded to any of the nine outfits in the league. The following players have already been awarded to teams who have previously put in their requests: BiH Zupančič to the Modern Crusaders, Ed Gabrenya to the Progressives, Joe Car-rish to the Eastern Stars. Acknowledgment of the Loyalites' request for a player is being held up pending the naming of the player. ENGAGED ON CHRISTMAS DAY The engagement of Miss Albina Bizjak, 1123 E. 67th St., to Mr. Matt "Metz" Metzler, 989 Addison Rd., was announced by the local couple on Christmas Day.

All of the gymnastic members are asked to be present. Anyone wishing to become a member can apply at tonight's meeting. The girls will be under the leadership of Louise Komin, assistant instructor. VALENTINE PARTY The Community Welfare Club is planning a Valentine card party to be held at Mervar's Hall Tuesday, Feb. 14. Final arrangements have not as yet been completed. Full details of the affair will be given in this paper at a later date. -o- Friday, Dec. 16, the following boys who had successfully passed their tenderfoot requirements, namely, Scout Oath, Laws, Flag, Knots, etc"., were admitted as members of the Boy Scouts of America: Emil Bartos, Frank Bayt, Dominic Bronczek (patrol leader), Walter Bron-czek, Tony Kavon, Mike Pavliscak, Ed Posipanka, Andy Suchy, Bill Suchy (patrol leader), Bill Suflinsky (patrol leader). Darkening the room, the investiture ceremony, with each boy holding a candle, was opened by Scoutmaster J. Fifolt, with the assistance of J. Ayster, assistant scoutmaster, and Senior Patrol Leader John Powali, who ma'de fire by flint.. From this fift! ohe of the boys lit a candle.and as each of the ten boys stepped forward to light theirs they repeated a scout law. After a brief address by the scoutmaster, Mr. Robert Shotts, field scout executive, was introduced, who awarded the tenderfoot pins. He gave a short outline of what scouting represents and concluded by urging the boys to continue onward toward second, first class, star, life and eagle scout ranks. After a short game period, followed by scoutcraft instruction, meeting was closed with the Pledge of Allegiance. Mr. Lex, neighborhood commissioner, was also on hand to lend his assistance with the investiture ceremony. -0- Anyone happening upon a stray table model Philco radio looking for an owner is requested to get in touch with Dr. James W. Mally in the Slovenian National Home Building. Dr. Mally was the unknowing and unwilling host to nocturnal visitors in his denfal office sometime between the close of 1932 and the beginning of the new year. The guests enjoyed the radio's tonal qualities so well during their brief visit, in which they made themselves quite at home in Dr. Mally's offices, as well as the adjoining offices of Dr. Michael F. Oman, that they could not bear to part with it when it came time to leave. So they took it with them, along with some gold Dr. Mally had on hand for dental purposes. Entry was made through one of the office doors. Police have not as yet been able to round upsthe music-loving burglars. -o- Holy Name Popularity Contest Winner to Be Named at Dance Jan. 8 LOCAL BOY SCOUT TROOP TO RECEIVE STREAMER AWARD Ray Zorman, Slovenian Class "A" Cage Star, on Pennzoil Roster President Herbert Hoover, Honorary President, Confers Honor Miss Antonia Rosa Wed to Mr. Kanoti St. Christine's Holy Name Juniors' popularity race is now drawing into the home stretch. The crowning of the most popular young man in Euclid will take place on Jan. 8 at a dance sponsored by the Holy Name Juniors. The young men entered in this thrilling race are putting their best efforts into this contest. The latest returns show a decided increase of public interest in the contest. However, the high print is yet to be reached. What could be better than a holiday gift to any of these young men than some vites cast in their favor? You do not have to belong to the parish in order to vote. The dance and crowning on Jan. 8-will mark the close of the society's first year of existence. The music to be furnished by Jackie Zorc insures dancers a most enjoyable evening. The winner of the guessing contcst, Which was launched two weeks ago, will also be awarded as a climax to a wonderful celebration. Have you sent in your guess yet? There is only a few days left to send it in. Next Sunday the new executives will go into office. The results of . the recent election picked out the best leadership and ability of the society. Jack Tercek was elected president, Frank Orazen vice president and Raymond Grubb treasurer. Edward A. Gabrenya was the only old Officer to be re-elected He will perform the duties of secretary for his second term. The auditing committee is composed of Andrew Gerl, William Mestek and William Laurich. The officers, in a New Year resolution, resolved to put the club in front of all other neighborhood organizations, which they will be able to do with the help of its membership. Basketball is' the society's present athletic activity. Andrew Gerl was named the team's captain and its business manager is Herman Stupica. Games can be booked with him at 19303 Arrowhead Ave. Athletic directors were elected also. They are Laddie Stupica, Edward Gabrenya and Max Gerl. --o- Cleveland Auto Wreckers Still On Winning Trail Troop 250, local Boy Scout group, will have the distinction of being one of the 150 or more troops in Greater! Cleveland to receive a streamer award from President Herbert Hoover, hon- \ orary president of the Boy Scouts of America, for outstanding achievement in scout advancement, increase in membership, active participation in scout \ activities and an adequate camping and j outdoor program together with regular 1 meetings during the past year. In order to achieve this unique honor it was necessary for the local group to specifically increase its membership and to advance at least five new first class scouts and four new second class scouts by Dec. 31, 1932. This the Silver Foxes did and today the percentage of second and first class is better than the average set down for good troops. In his annual report to be published in February, Scoutmaster Felix A. Dan-on will show that Troop 250 as a whole enjoys a better and healthier condition than it ever has in its entire eight years of existence. The troop will devote its time during the next two months to individual handicraft work in wood carving, bead work, soap carving, etc., and will prepare for the 23d anniversary celebration of the Boy Scouts of America during the week of Feb. 8, 1933. STATE WOODMEN HOLD DISTRICT CAMPAIGN MEET One of the refulgent stars in the city's Class A basketball ranks is Ray Zorman, flashy Pennzoil forward. Ray is generally regarded as one of the best bucket toss-erg in the loop and it has been his speedy and consistent play that stamps the Penn^oils as the outstanding challengers for the A crown. The fast-stepping Slovenian does not restrict his athletics to basketball alone. In fact, he's just about the best outfielder in the city's Class A baseball circuit. He performed for the Pennzoil baseball team last summer. Before turning to amateur basketball lie starred on the court for Cathedral Latin, Ohio State freshmen and later with the John Carroll Blue Streaks. DISMANTLE DISPLAY Mr. Albin "Beany" Modic, who erected this year's display depicting the Bethlehem, estimated that more than 300 people witnessed the ensemble. It has become an annual custom with the Modic family, 6201 St. Clair Ave., to put up the scene, which is more than thirty-five years old. The scene will be dismantled tomorrow. LORAIN, O.—Miss Antonia Rosa of Canton, O., was married to George S. Kanoti of this city last Saturday in the SS. Cyril and Methodius Church. The Rev. Ludwig Virant performed the ceremony, which took place during high mass. Miss Mary Polutnik sang the service.
