OUR LENTEN COVER	PICTURE .	.	.
Christ on the Cross—Christ of Chicago’s Loop
We think everyone will find a message during this lenten season when gazing upon the picture of Christ on the cross—on the facade of St. Peter’s Church in Chicago’s Loop. The great marble figure of Christ seems to be nlive ini the agony of death on the cross — so that passers-by are struck by >its beauty and meaning. It seems to have achieved its purpose: “Nobody passes by without looking up to Christ on the cross.”
Happy Easter Wishes!
The Supreme Officers join in wisning the Happiest Easter to all members and friends.

~MINUTES OF~THE DIRECTORS’ SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING
Home Office, Chicago, III., Feb. 26, 27, 1962
The semi-annual meeting of the Board of Directors of S.W.U. was opened on Monday morning, Feb. 26, 1962 at the Home Office in Chicago, 111., at 9:30 a. m. The following officers were in attendance: president, Antonia Tanko; founder, Marie Prisland; secretary, Albina Novak; treasurer, Josephine Železnikar and auditors, Anne Podgoršek, Victoria Faletič and Frances Gaspich, and editor, Corinne Leskovar.
The first order of business was the examination of financial books. The audits completed, all the Directors visited the Metropolitan State Bank to examine and verify the contents of the safety deposit box there. All documents were found in order as specified in the secretary’s financial statement. The auditors expressed their satisfaction that all financial accounts and documents were found to be true and in order. The Directors continued the meeting at the Home office with the reading of reports which were accepted as read.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Greetings, Directors and welcome to our first Bi-Annual meeting in the new year of 1962. We have only two days and a great deal to be discussed and plan for the progress of our. S.W.U., so let us work hard and in harmony.
Our Class B. Jubilee Campaign will soon be over and we do have our Auditor Vicki Faletič who han reached her goal of 35 points which entitles her to the free trip to Washington and the $35.00. Congratulations, Vicki. As of this time, I also have reports that Br. No. 50-73 and the new Br. No. 10i are working very hard to get their 35 points by March 31.
It was a great pleasure for me to be able to attend the following State Conventions: first, Minnesota State Convention which was held at my birth-place Chisholm, Minn., on Sept. 10th and was very well attended by all the branches. I am very proud of my home state because in Minnesota branches are very active. It was the first to start having S.W.U. State Days, organized 20 years ago by Mary Lenich of Eveleth, Minn., which is being held every year by the branches in different cities.
Second: On Sept. 24th, accompanied by 60 members and 10 Juveniles, we attended the Pennsylvania State Day in Pittsburgh which was held by Br. No. 26.
On Oct. 8th I also attended the Illinois—Indiana State Convention Day which was combined with the 35th anniversary of Br. No. 2 in Chicago. I was very impressed at these meetings because the members had shown their ability and enthusiasm in working for a better Union and also making the State Day a grand affair.
Felicitations are in order to all the State Presidents who have worked hard and have made their State Days a great success.
Mrs. Mary Tomsic, State President of Pennsylvania has notified me that their State Day will be held by combined branches Nos. 71 Strabane and 106 Meadowlands.
A Junior Bowling League composed of 40 juveniles has been organized by Vicki Faletič and Pauline Vogel. They bowl every Saturday at Grdina Lanes.
Christmas Party was held on Dec. 17 with 118 children present from Branches Nos. 32, 25 and 50.
Eastern Bowling Get-Together Tournament was held on Feb. 25 at Grdina Lanes with 24 teams ,an increase of
6	teams from last year. All the bowlers and spectators complimented us on the wonderful tournament we had. This makes me very happy. The above affairs I have attended and also given my services. I have also contacted Mr. Richards of the Grey-hound Bus Co. and got the itinerary for the trip to Washington and also for Canada.
In the month of November I sent a letter and greetings to each branch to be read at their December meetings.
On our Pots and Pans we have been receiving numerous letters and compliments which show that this page is well-liked. Corinne Leskovar is doing a marvelous job editing our lovely magazine Zarja—The Dawn.
Founder, Marie Prisland who writes our Pots and Pans column and Oh, Ta Svet and sees to it that our money is well-invested, has recovered from her illness and we wish her good health so that she may be with us many more years.
Secretary, Albina Novak also is keeping her post very well, doing her work efficiently. On March 4, a new branch (No. 101) in Bedford Heights was organized. Attending the official meeting were Albina Novak, Ella Starin, Vicki Faletič and myself. Initiated were eight members. On Feb.
5	they had their first card party with a packed hall and their clear proceeds were over $200.00. It was shown at their first meeting that this was going to be a very energetic group and I am sure that they will grow to be a large branch.
It was a great pleasure to work the past six months with the directors and all the members and State Presidents and I am very thankful for their help and faith in me.
Frances Chiodi has notified me that she is having the trip to Hawaii in the month of August and will mail the itineraries to all the branches. The European trip sponsored by our Zveza has reservations on the boat taken and only the plane in available. To all our travelers I wish a very safe and happy journey.
Cleveland branches are working on having another big affair on Sept. 30; a Bazaar-Style show with members showing their wardobes and styling.
On April 1, Branch No. 10 is celebrating their 35th anniversary, combined with the State Convention of Ohio and Mich. This will be held in Collinwood on Holmes Ave.
I have tried to perform my duties to the best of my ability. In every one of the last six issues of Zarja, I have written of the activities current that month.
In conclusion, may we have a pleasant session.
Toni Tanko
IT’S
WORTH
A
PRETTY
PENNY
your 24 for Paper & Postage
Two vital and expensive items necessary in the publication of ZARJA — THE DAWN, have been rapidly rising in cost — that is,
Paper and Postage!
The only solution to the problem of meeting the rising figure, is that each member contribute a small share in the expense.
The Board of Directors at the last Semi-Annual Meeting, determined that A Penny for Paper and A Penny for Postage
will be asked from each member, per month. So, when paying your monthly dues, and the secretary asks you for 2<j:, you’ll know it’s for the “ZARJA” FUND! If you prefer, pay 25<f for the whole year!
REPORT OF FINANCIAL COMMITTEE SECRETARY AND PRESIDENT OF SCHOLARSHIP AND BENEFIT COM MITTTEE

REV. CLAUDE OKORN:
THE DAY OF SORROW
T-——i HERE is one day where the world is sad — Good Friday. The only day of the year that we can be N-* sure will be mournful.
&**! How can we be happy on this day, when we are aware that our sins and the sins of the world placed Christ on the Cross, that we hammered the nails into His hands — hands that did nothing but good — into His feet that walk only in holy places and for the good of the others. He was sent to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim to captives release, and sight to the blind; to set at liberty the oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompense.
We helped to press the thorns into His Sacred brow and the spear into His side.
A sorrowful Mother stands at the foot of the Cross. Mary knew, “And thy own soul a sword shall pierce.” Mary hears the words of Simeon again. Now, the sword has passed, a sword with his hilt in the form of a cross and its point deep in her own sorrowing heart.
The just anger of God threatens a sinful earth. Between Creator and creature, the Son of God flings his strong, young Body. He endures the blows, the torments, the jeers and insults, the torturous sinking of His own weight pulling on the nails. He endures death itself and all the times he prays: “Father, forgive them.”
Mary re-echoes His words and in her sorrow, she turns to us and pleads, “Cease offending God. Do penance.” Can we resist our own Mother's pleas, or turn away from Him Who died that we might live?
Christ does not ask to be taken down from the cross. He only asks that we be sorry — that we believe
—	and that we love.
Happy Easter to you all!
Our President's M ontlily Alessage
Dear Members,
The 35th Jubilee Class B Membership Campaign has come to an end with the month of April and I wish to thank you all — whoever participated — in making it a successful one. Congratulations to the winner of the Washington trip, Supreme Auditor, Vicki Faletič, who enrolled the most new members. Let us still try and scout around for new prospects and sign them up!
All interested in joining us for the Washington, D. C. trip may send in reservations at once. For details, consult the February Zarja, which also tells of the sights to be seen. Join in this joyous tour as we will be traveling under the Slovenian Women’s Union Banner!
At our Bi-annual meeting held February 20-27, 1902, the subject of greatest concern was our Zarja — The Dawn magazine. Due to the increase in cost of paper, labor and postage (you all know that postage rates are constantly climbing), we find it impossible to issue the magazine for the small sum the members are contributing. We either had to raise it or discontinue the magazine, and I am sure that you will all agree with me that it is the finest reading material you receive in your home monthly and we must do all in our power to see it continue and flourish. It was decided by the Board of Directors that every member will be requested to contribute 2<f per month for the Zarja fund. This will be easy to do when paying your assessment and I’m sure that 2c per month will be no hardship to any member. Thank you for your consideration. If you find it easier to pay up for a year at a time, I know your secretary will appreciate this.
Easter Sunday will be observed on April 22nd. On this joyous day, we all shall celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. May the God of Love and Peace be with you always. Antonia Tanko, Supreme President
No. 7, Forest City, Pa. A Valentine Party for our Juniors was held Feb. 11th at the VFW Hall. About GO youngsters attended in spite of the cold weather. A lot of them have been sick this winter and we hope they will all soon recover.
Polesnak sisters took the first prize for their Slovenian singing. They are living at present with Grandma Mary Tomazic, who is confined to her home with arthritis.
Sorry we are losing so many members, but this must be our incentive for getting some new members. It’s never too late.
Our sympathy to the Bechy family and to the Bosh and Cerar families.
Best wishes to all who are ill, for their complete recoveries.
Christine Menart, sec’y.
No 10, Cleveland, Ohio. Our Feb. was a very pleasant one. We have a newly-elected president, Anna Markovič, also a new vice-pres., F. Cher-mely. Our secretary, Mary Camloh, treas., F. IComidar and Slovenian reporter, Antonia Repic stayed the same.
Girls, I wish more of you would come to our meetings. You’ll have such a good time! The main topic has been the 35th Anniversary, which our branch is celebrating April 1st. Plans were made for the roast beef dinner and program at the S. N. D. on Holmes Ave. As you all know, this happens only once — a 35th Anniversary, so we would like all our members to participate.
We also enjoyed a Valentine Party with all members sending Valentines around to other members. In this way, we all got acquainted and believe me, it was very exciting. The ladies appointed me as mailman and a beautifully decorated box held all the Valentines. I went around callout the names (Mail for you! in Slovenian, of course!) and it was lots of fun. The ladies missed Mrs. L. Čebular, as this used to be her little gimmick at the meetings. She is ill and hasn’t been able to attend the meetings. We all wish her a speedy recovery. Birthdays were celebrated by beloved members, Jennie Batich and Gertrude Bokal. Mrs. Ko-
mldar made a very nice speech of congratulations, which all the members approved. I would also like to tell you about the wonderful job Millie Novak did all year, saving and counting sales tax stamps, so that the money was turned into our treasury.
After the meeting, the ladies spread the tables with all kinds of goodies poticas, strudels, cakes and cookies. Mrs. Bradac brought Valentine hearts filled with candy for each member and we also had a little something to quench our thirsts.
It was just wonderful, ladies, and as a climax, we sat around and sang a few good old Slovenian songs. Best wishes to all our members, especially those who are ill.
Josephine (Sophie) Magayna
No. 13, San Francisco, Calif. Our
first function for 1962, our Chinese Dinner, is now but a memory. For us who attended this delicious Dinner, it was an evening of much merriment. Valentines were exchanged and many laughs were heard as it was requested that the Valentines be comical.
Plans for our dinner are already underway; this early planing will allow the committee to plan more and better things.
Margaret Fager and Kate Lampe will act as our hostesses for our Sept. Dinner Meeting. These two gals
have the know how to make this Dinner go like clock work. Margaret and Kate have been quite active with our group along with sister Rose, so no more need be said as to their ability. Thanks, gals, lor offering to take over.
Word was received from Barbara Orahar, much to our pleasure, that since her operation she is much improved. These spunky women! You just can’t hold them down!
Rose Scoff is going ahead with plans for Zveza Day although we cannot plan on our sister-branches to attend as Rose has written many letters only to be told the distance and time does not permit their participation. We have offered to go south but that too, seems out of the question at this time. Maybe we shall have better luck next time.
Hawaii . . . Finalization of plans are now complete. Our date of departure from San Francisco being August 19th, the full cost of the trip is $395.00 plus tax from San Francisco. Our eastern sisters who are coming, will have to add the cost of transportation from home cities. We are trying to arrange a direct trip from Chicago to San Francisco, making connecting flights for those who do not wish a visit in San Francisco. Of course, for those of you who wish a tour of San Francisco, hotel accomodations will be arranged with the cost being quite nominal, about $5.50 per person per night. Ask the gals who came with us in 1961 about the fun we had and I’m sure you will be with us this August 19th when we leave for Hawaii . . . our Paradise. This will be our Second Annual Hawaiian Tour.
Remember our dinner date, Sept. 30th. See you there! Fran Chiodo
No. 17, West Allis, Wise. Our annual meeting was held in January with a large attendance — our hopes that it will increase in the future.

FORMER SUPREME OFFICER, MARY MARKEZICH MOURNED
She resided at 2809 E. 95th St., and was the widow of Louis, Sr. who died some time ago. She had 5 cil-dren, Nicholas, Louis, Thomas, Mary Barvevac and Antoinette Ross, eight grandchildren and was the mother-in-law ol' Evelyn and Frances Markezich, Joseph Barvecac and James Ross.
There is much to be said about this fine woman. Just 3 years ago the members of Br. 95, S. Chicago, 111., paid a special tribute to her when we honored her as founder of the branch and president for 20 years. In her position as president, she displayed experienced judgement and an ability to settle differences to the great benefit of our branch. She gave fully of her time, energy and resources to extend the influence of her church and other organizations.
Mary Markezich was a generous woman, with an exceptional talent for friendship. In her death, the members lost a dedicated servant. We mourn her passing.

MIDWEST BOWLING TOURNEY APRIL 7-8
BOWLING NEWS OF OUR BRANCHES
No. 10, Cleve., O. We took part in the Eastern Get-together Bowling Tourney on Feb. 25th with two teams, namely, Mary Korošec, capt. with Mary Rokotec, Josephine Baraga, Mary Launch and Albina Zimmerman; Peggy Dobnikar, capt., with Dorothy Zagar, Agnes Polanc, Angie Žnidaršič and Albina Malovasic.
We had more girls from our branch no. 10, but we were scattered among two other groups. I think they all had a very nice time — we were served a nice luncheon and the prize money was distributed at the conclusion.
Thanks to our Supreme President, Antonia Tanko for a job well done; I’m sure the girls are grateful for the donation from the Home Office towards the prize money. Thanks to all the girls who donated pastry for this occasion and to all the ladies who helped out in the kitchen.

No. 20, Joliet, III.—This past month being a short month, the Joliet branch bowled only four games, but much of interest transpired. American Slovenian Home held fast to their first position, with Horvath Bakery , Ellena Builders and Merichka’s continuing to hold their position in the order named. Shep’s DX Service Station nosed out Papesh Funeral Home for fifth position with Northwest Recreation Club and Krause Radio & TV coming in for seventh and eighth. These two latter teams have been badly hurt this season and just don’t seem to make a recovery.
We’ve had home “200” bowlers, too. Marge Rachor 224; Ann Stefanich 209; Jo Mlakar 223 one night and 203 and 200 the following bowling night. Wouldn’t this have been a beautiful series if her third game reached these figures? As it was, she came up with a 562. Speaking of the 500 group, we had Ann Stefanich come up with 515; Lorraine Rothlisberger with 511; Gen Klainsek with 537 and Jo Mlakar with another one of 554 during the past month.
In the “Make that Spare” department we had Gen Gasmovich with 5-8-10; Evelyn Gregory 5-8-10 and 8-10; Shirley Goron 5-6-10; Vicki Bemickas
3-10 and Millie Ellena and Ann Cox with 5-10.

cover, so that she may not be alarmed when she might read elsewhere in these articles, that I had been on the sick list, I am making progress, but bowling is not on the list of good medicine for the balance of the season. I will be happy to make only a visit to the alleys, watch the others at their fun and do the secretarial work.

No. 20, Joliet, III. Msgr. M. J. Butala who came home from the hospital a few days ago, where he was convalescing for the past seven weeks, installed the officers for 1962. Later, he left for Arizona with his sister, Catherine, for a better climate. We all hope he will come home completely recuperated.
The most popular mother of the year has been chosen in Mrs. Theresa Muhich who will succeed Mrs. Mary C. Terlep who had this honor the past year. Mrs. Muhich is a very hard working member of our branch and the members appreciated this. Congratulations, Theresa!
In 1961 three members passed away. Mrs. Amalia Pelcol, Mrs. Mary Jure-sich and Mrs. Anna Kolenc Omerza of Fontana, Calif. Since she was the God-
mother of the Cadet Flag some 15 years ago, our branch will have a requiem mass offered for her soul. May they all rest in peace.
As other years, we had selected six members for the free paid assesment. The lucky members were Frances Gregorich (N. Broadway), Josephine Bostjanche, Margaret Breise. Isabelle Kodrich, Anna Pucel and Miss Anna Mahkovec. Each received $5.00—a total of $30.00 was given for this cause.
Also attendance prizes of one dollar were won by Frances Sega, Angela Schlitz, Frances Bottari, Josephine Sumic, Ursula Ambrose and Miss Frances Gaspich.
A door prize also was picked for Catherine Suhodolec, but since she was the lucky winner last year she declined the gift and asked to have another name chosen. This time Mrs W. Luztick was the lucky winner. Congratulations to all!
We are glad to see sister Catherine Laniuth who underwent a serious operation from the hospital. On the sick list are also sisters Mary Plankar and Anna Korevec who is at this time seriously ill in the hospital. She had been our officer for many years.
Our trustee, Ida Rancinger, was
VICKI FORSEES MEMORABLE MAY
No. 25, Cleveland, Ohio. Remember the saying: “Spring is here” was always a sure sign when good ol’ Mošt became fine drinking Vino. Cinnamon toast and hot wine, a delicious drink to make one’s cheek a rosy pink, that is Spring!
Our bowling tournament was well represented with G teams. Capt. Vera Germ’s team took first place and Capt. Fay Rolik came in second. Other teams of Branch 25 followed close. Like the speed of jets, all the bowlers were terrific and the bowling balls whizzed by making those pins disappear from view. Many of our young ladies’ high games which helped the teams to win brought smiles and laughter. Jean Jancigar’s graceful delivery and fine games proved very effective; it goes to show what the S.W.U. women can really accomplish.
To all the members of Branch # 25: On our May meeting, which will be on the second Monday, the 14th of May, we are going to:
1—Pick a Queen from Branch #25,
happy to have her brother Gorast Kacjan visit her from Ljubljana. She had not seen him for 30 years. Here at her home he stayed a half-year. While we were in Ljubljana we visited him and the family and while he was at his sister’s, he came to visit us. What a small world!
Our president, Mrs. Planinšek, hopes no one of our members would be called to eternity this year, but if in any case it does happen, then she stressed that it is the honorable duty of all our members as well as “bowlers”, to come together the evening designated to pray at her bier which is usually the first evening and also to attend the funeral mass.
Mrs. Planinšek also invites our members these coming months to come to the meetings where color movies will be shown of the trip of the Erjavec Family as well as Mrs. Planinšek. Also all other members who traveled last year will be on the pictures. I am positive these pictures will be of interest to all our members and their friends.
With best wishes to all our members,	Josephine	Erjavec

My heart is saddened as I write these lines. My sister, the youngest in the family, was laid to rest March 3rd. Sincere condolences to her husband, Daniel and daughters Beverly and Janis. Holy Mass was offered for her soul at Assumption Church and burial was at Holy Cross Ceme-tary. My thanks to all my good friends for the Holy Mass offerings, floral pieces, cards and prayers at her bier and attending the funeral.
In closing — please try to attend the May 2nd meeting and Mother’s Day celebration. Wishing you all a very Happy Easter!

No. 23, Ely, Minn. Dawn Club. Our city observed the 12th annual Winter Carnival here Feb. 3-4-5, one of the big events of the year. 1500 persons were served the pancake breakfast for which a booster button was the only admission. The contests were very interesting and many prizes were awarded. The Queen’s Ball was quite an affair and the climax came on Sunday when 5000 persons competed in the fishing contest at Shaga-wa Beach. The largest fish caught (of a total of 139) won Rudy Mrache a $1000 bill!
Our Club meeting was short—pres. Barbara Brennan opened it with pray-
er and plans were then made for our banquet in May.
Our meetings will be held at St. Anthony’s church meeting rooms beginning this month, April 25th.
The Valentine Party after our Feb. 21st meeting was arranged by the committee who had a lovely Valentine motif for the tables, a hankie exchange for members and later, interesting games were played. Mmes. Lyle Brennan, John Rosandich, Jos. Starlcovich took home some nice prizes. Mrs. Jos. Jamnik won the attendance prize.
To all members who are ill, we wish speedy recoveries.

SADNESS GRIPS BK. 34
Again it is my sad duty to report the death of one of our members — this time my dear sister-in-law, Mrs. Peter (Anne Spreitzer) Yapel. Her sudden and unexpected death on Thursday evening, Feb. 15th was a sickening shock to our communities of Tower and Soudan. She suffered from hypertension for the past 10 years, but with medication, carried on her duties at home, was a conscientious and devoted mother and wife — and was a member, in addition to the SWU, of the Council of Catholic Women and the SS. Cyril & Methodius Lodge (KSKJ), always helping in any endeavor of the various groups. Anne was born Sept. 2, 1910, so she was 51 years old at the time of her death. She was born and raised in Ely — graduated from the Ely high school and was married to Peter Yapel of Soudan in St. Anthony’s Church of Ely, June 28, 1937 — so they would have observed their Silver Wedding Anniversary this year. She was the mother of 7 children, Peter, Jr. and Richard of Soudan, and Joseph of Duluth, where he attends IT. of Minn.
(Duluth Branch) and Kathleen of St. Paul, and Mary Ann, Margaret and Patricia of Soudan. Mary Ann and Richard are twins. Her husband Peter, is a foreman (underground) at the Soudan mine. She is also survived by her mother, Mrs. Katherine Spreitzer, of Ely, and 3 brothers and 8 sisters: Joseph of Ely, Bernard, Duluth and John of Royal Oak, Mich, and Mrs. Leo Rittmanic (Mary) and Mrs. Leonard Planton (Margaret) both of Bradley, 111.; Molly and Katherine of Ely; Mrs. Bernard Pruse (Josephine) of St. Paul; Mrs. Kenneth Knott (Christine) of Torrence, Cal.; Mrs. Thomas Burnett (Angela) of Miami, Fla. and Mrs. Robert Heriford (Genevieve) of Lansing, Mich. A brother, Prank Spreitzer, preceded her in death, just three months ago, Nov. 3, 1961, also a sudden heart attack.
Funeral services were held in St. Martin’s Church in Tower, with Rev. Frank Melovasich, celebrant of the Requiem High Mass, assisted by Rev. John Golobich, Rev. Alfred Kaster and also in the Sanctuary was Rev. Joseph Volk. Interment was in Lake-view Cemetery at Tower. Fr. Melovasich is from Biwabik, Fr. Golobich, pastor at Tower, Fr. Kaster from Ely and Fr. Volk from Cook.
To her bereaved loved ones, the members of Branch 34 and I extend our sincere sympathy. To Anne, a fond farewell, and prayers for the repose of her soul. May God grant her eternal rest!
*	* *
Branch 34 met for their February meeting last night, Feb. 21st and quite naturally, conversation centered on our deceased member. We still wish to have her honored as “Mother of the Year” posthumously.
It was decided to dispense with the March meeting (dues may be paid to Mrs. Pahula at her home) and the April meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 24th, with Mines. Michael Musich and John Tekautz on the hostess committee.
Prize winners at the social hour following the meeting were; Mrs. Mary Pahula, Mines. Joseph Stel'anich, John Pahula and Louis Chiabotti.
The evening was concluded with a luncheon was served by Mmes. Edward Dragavon and Anthony Yapel.
Mrs. Anthony F. Yapel No. 42, Maple Heights, Ohio — Our branch was represented at the Eastern Get-together Bowling Tournament at Grdina’s on Feb. 25tli. by a team composed of Dolores Lipnos, Marge Lipnos, Dorothy Ponikvar, Millie Lipnos, and Yours Truly. Although we didn’t establish any new WIBC records, we made up for it in fun. And you can’t say we didn’t give it our all — Millie’s bruises are proof of that! Oh, well, there’s always next year, gals!
On the sick list recently was Jeanne Legan, who is now home from St.
Alexis and convalescing nicely. In Charity Hospital was Mary Hočevar, our treasurer, who underwent surgery. A speedy recovery to you both and get-well wishes to all our ailing members.
If you have noticed a big grin on Vicki Franetic’s face lately, it’s because her son, Herman, is now home from a lengthy tour of duty in the service in Germany. He brings with him his wife and bouncing baby boy, thus making Vicke a grandma for the first time. Also, a new member to this select group is Olga Ponikvar, who’s daughter, Pat, presented them with Jack, Jr., on Feb. 28th. Congratulations to both first-time grandmothers!
Don’t forget to attend the next meeting, April 4th, at 7:30 P. M. See you then.	Lillian Sadowski
No. 45, Portland, Oregon — First of all, I am taking this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to our members for the beautiful overnight case presented to me at the February meeting by our President Mary Roso, as a gift of appreciation for eighteen years of service as a secretary of our branch.
An important date to remember is Palm Sunday, April 15. On that Sunday, we will again meet at St. Mary’s Cathedral where Holy Mass will be held for living and deceased members of our branch, the time is 9:45 a. m. Members are requested to receive Holy Communion in a body. After church services, we will have breakfast at the Mallory Hotel. We are hoping for a large attendance at this occasion.

No. 46, St. Louis, Mo. — First of ali: Our Easter Communion and Breakfast takes place at St. Joseph’s, April 15, at the 8:30 Mass.

We will have a meeting April 8, at Helen Skoff’s house, 2:00 P. M. Ladies, please read the Zarja and keep up on what’s going on. Make your reservations for the party at the April meeting, also at Communion breakfast. Not sure as yet where, but, will have the details for April meeting.
Pauline Ruzicka’s husband, Charles is doing nicely after surgery at St. John’s hospital.
Mary Gregory is now .able to step card those crutches before too long.
I	would like to mention we had a Chicago celebrity here at our Sport-
men's Show in St. Louis, which is an annual event. He was guest conductor of Benny Radar’s orchestra from St. Louis. He played the ac-cordian for the Chaine Dancers and also did a solo. He played the Tiger Rag, Lou Prohut version. He is the well-known personality of TV and Radio, of Chicago’s “Polka Rounders,” Lou Proliut. He certainly made a hit here in St. Louis, and we are looking forward to his next visit here in our city.
In closing, I would like to remind you again, April 8, meeting day. April 15, Communion breakfast, May 6, Mother’s Day party.
Marie Thompson, sec’y.
BR. NO. 50 HAS GALA NIGHT OUT!
On Feb. 17th, our members enjoyed a dinner at Globokar's Lounge, where Mrs. Globokar took such good care of us — she served us a dinner fit for queens! The evening was in honor of Frances Sietz, our out-going president, it was her birthday besides. Frances has spent so much time and energy keeping our branch together during the rough times, we felt this was a time to show her we realize how much she has done and how much we love her, too. Toni Tanko presented her with a gift from our members, which was a lovely gold wrist watch and Mrs. Globokar read a surprise letter from Albina Novak in which was another gift.
Fran nearly missed the whole celebration, being in bed that day with a severe cold, but, we couldn’t let her stay home, so Marie Beck went for her and brought her to us, all bundled up and, oh, so sick! But, we did get some smiles mixed with tears from her when we sang Happy Birthday! Fran’s sister, with her beautiful voice, sang her a touching song, and I must say it was a very wonderful moment.
After dinner, you should have seen Mamie Marin and Stephie Kobie dance! They should have gotten a prize! And, the same goes for Toni Tanko — who was going 50 miles an hour! (Albina should have been here
—	she loves to dance, too!
I	know this evening will live on in our memories for a long time!
Mary Bostian
IT’S SO NICE TO BE REMEMBERED
This is my sentiment, directed to all the members of Br. No. 50. who so graciously presented me with a gold watch for acting as president for the past ten years. It was a pleasure to work with all the members — and, I still will keep on helping in any way I can, to keep our branch alive. Thank you again and God bless you all! Frances Sietz
No. 50, Cleveland, Ohio. Our Feb. meeting was terrific! We had such a wonderful Valentine luncheon and our hostesses, Louise Vovko, Rita Jerina and Sophie Kaplan made a hit with the delicious bakery, too! Louise and Rita decorated the club room and made it look very Valen-tineish and besides, they made us each a corsage of colored Kleenex which we proudly wore. Louise donated an Infant of Prague statue as a door prize. Bless her heart! I hope Louise will start having loads of luck — she deserves it! Oh, Mary Okicki made nice fresh buns to make our sloppy Joe sandwiches out of this world — Sophie Kaplan is a good cook! Thanks also to Toni Tanko and Sophie for more door prizes — we sure had lots of fun!
We enjoyed an exchange of Valentines, for which Fran Sietz was the star Valentine — she received the most. Jo Bencin and Agnes Tre-bar won for being next highest and Mary Okicki won the beautiful door prize.
We had two guests, Dorothy Komar and Janice Oster whom we were happy to have. Janis is a new member now, signed up by Louise and Rita. After a long absence, Marie Maljevac came out and we hope she will come more often now. Frances Bencin surprised us, too. We wish many other long-absent members would start coming to the meetings to see what we are up to! It was good to see Ann Žnidaršič and Mary Krulac — making our “family” larger! Thanks to Celia Žnidarič for her donation.
Girls, don’t forget the White Elephant Sale, May llth. Start saving your throw-aways and approach your friends and relatives!
Somebody is lucky! It’s Ann Dekleva, Mary Susnik and Louise Vidic vacationing in Florida. Hope they are enjoying the sunshine while poor us — we’re freezing!
We hope Sophie Zagorc and Sophie Posch are feeling better by now after their illiness. Also, hope Tillie Maljavec’s operation is a success.
A very sad thing happened on the night of our dinner at Globokar’s. Our member, Dorothy Kulas, was shot by a burglar at the place where she was employed — members all felt so bad and all promised to pray for her recovery. We have Dorothy in our hearts and are hoping members will remember to send her a cheer up card to show her she is being thought of. Whatever became of our Uma Nežka? Do I miss her! Why doesn’t she come some times, especially to our doings where she knows so many people! Hope she takes this hint!
Our branch is so active now — we see smiles on everyone’s faces, especially Rose Želodec, who seems to
enjoy being our president, aid we all will try to keep it that way! Thanks to Marie Beck, our good sec’y, who takes good care of our members — she will do the same for you — her address is 25854 Highland Rd., Cleve-lan 24, O.	Mary Bostian
No. 52, Kitzville, Minn. We hope that with spring in the air, our next meeting will be even better attended than our March Gth session.
A card of thanks from the Zidarlch Family was received and the secretary also read a letter of congratulations to our branch on Its 30th year observance from sister, Marie Pris-land. Thank you so much for remembering our little branch 52!
We also congratulate sister, Celia Politano on her new grandson and hope she has a nice trip to Dallas, Texas, where she will be with her daughter, the new mother. We hope they are all fine.
Sister, Josephine Oswald was the lucky recipient of the oven-ware.

No. 89. Oglesby, III. Br. 89 reports on our late-winter meetings. The well-attended meetings were used to study the By-Laws. With new members joining, it was necessary to acquaint them with the functions of the S.W.U. Mrs. Frances Meglicli, president, read the By-Laws.
A Valentine Party was enjoyed at the Feb. meeting with table decorations, favors and refreshments in the Valentine motif. Mrs. Frances Boh, our versatile member, was in charge of the committee. At this meeting, a gift was presented our past president, Mrs. Frances Nemeth.

No social time or re-fresments were served at the meetings during Lent. Mary Kernz
Marie Prisland:
SOMETIME AGO, ZARJA reported that Slovenian potica was sent to the White House at the time of Mr. Kennedy’s inauguration as president. Mrs. Mary Lenich, Eveleth, Minnesota, was the originator of the idea.
Mrs. Lenich is the founder of branch #38 in Chisholm, was its president many years, originated the first ZVEZA DAY in Minnesota and organized the first Drill Team in that state. At present, she is the secretary of branch #19 in Eveleth. Mrs. Lenich was Supreme Auditor for 16 years.
—	Yes, her heart belongs to ZVEZA.
Since many members wished to have the recipe for potica like the kind sent to the White House, Mrs. Lenich kindly contributed that recipe, which is as follows:
Walnut Potica Ingredients for dough:
7 cups sifted flour % cups sugar
1	pint milk
l/2 cup butter (1 stick) iy2 tablespoons salt
4	eggs
10if cake of yeast
Scald milk, add sugar, salt and butter. Set aside to cool.
Dissolve yeast in l/2 cup of lukewarm water with 1 tablespoon sugar. Add the raised yeast to milk mixture. Add very fluffy beaten eggs and then flour, one sifter at a time, beating with hand or electric beater. Keep adding flour until dough can be handled without sticking. Knead dough on flowered board for about 20 minutes. Put the dough in a bowl, cover it and let it raise in a warm place for about 2 hours. Do not knead dough after it has risen. Spread the dough on table covered with cloth and sprinkled with flour. First roll the dough, then pull it thin. Cut off thick edges. Spread the dough with filling then roll up as .iel ly roll. Cut roll in to 4 loaves 12 inches long. Put it in greased pans, cover it and set it in a warm place to raise until double in bulk. Bake it one hour at 325 degrees.. Delicious Walnut Potica is a holiday “must” in every Slovenian home.
Walnut Potica Filling
2	lb. ground walnuts
2 cups sugar V2 cup butter \/2 cup honey 1 pint milk
3 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 pint whipping cream Melt butter. Add honey, sugar and milk. Bring to a rolling boil. Add this mixture. Whip cream and add to walnut mixture.

Mrs. Christine Konti, Weston, Colo., likes buckwheat “štrukle”, Mrs. Josephine Marley, Lemont, 111., contributed her recipe for buckwheat “žgance” hoping Mrs. Konti will like them too.
For centuries, buckwheat žganci were almost a daily dish for people living in Slovenia. Žganci are very nourishing; building strong bodies and courageous minds.
Buckwheat (Ajdovi) Žganci (Crumbles)
Ingredients:
1 quart water
2 cups buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
Slowly pour buckwheat flour into salted briskly boiling water. Cook over low fire for 15 minutes without stirring, then with a wooden spoon, make a hole in the center of flour to allow water to come over the flour. Cook for another 15 minutes. Pour off half of the water and stir the flour and the remaining water, until you get an even mixture. Melt butter, pour it over the mixture, cover the pot and let it simmer for a few minutes.
With a wooden spoon pick up portions of the mixture and with a fork scrape crumbles off the spoon and pile them Huffily into a bowl. These crumbles (žganci) may be put in clear chicken or beef soups, or served with sour kraut, topped with browned buttered bread crumbs.
A fine combination: Žganci, topped with cut-up fried bacon, sour kraut, pork roast or home-made sausage.
No. 92, Crested Butte, Colo. Our
meeting on the 2nd Sunday was due to the fact that we had our Winter Carnival and Gal Stanka’s Cafe was a busy place on the first Sunday.
At the meeting, refreshments were served by our hostesses Kate Lacy and Ann Malenšek. Frances Guerrieri was a guest — come again, Frances!
Our March meeting was at Gal’s Cafe on the 4th. Get well wishes are extended to Margaret Malenšek and Donna Christoff. Hope to see them at the next meeting. March hostesses were Frances Pogorelz and Ann Malenšek, who took over for her sister who was ill.
We have had plenty of snow this winter; the window of our house had to be shoveled out several times! Only a few house tops and chimneys on the peak of Crested Butte mountain is visible from our windows! My, I wonder if spring will ever come.
Happy birthday to all celebrants this month. It won’t be long before we once again celebrate Easter. You will kneel Easter morn, before a most loving God. Sorrow and suffering has scarred this sad world, but, He has been good to all. Be entirely grateful for His love. After Lent, and a somewhat weary journey, bring the Risen Saviour into your Heart.

No. 100, Fontana, Calif. Dear sisters, every organization needs each member’s assistance in order to function properly and prosper. I am convinced that every one is aware of that fact. The statement bears fruit if our activities are carried out with a little bit of help from each member. Our energetic pres., Dorothy Petrich, is seeking just such aid from each sister in her renpective capacity. Let’s back Dorothy 100% in all our activities.
It was indeed gratifying to see so many members present at our Feb. meeting. Let us continue to be mindful of our duties to our organization with an active attendance.
We had a very delightful visitor from Br. No. 90, Johanna Aubel. We all hope her short stay in Fontana was a memorable one. Come back soon, Johanna.
We offer prayers to our sick members with the fervent wish that they will soon be on the mend, namely, Mary Jasina, Ursula Garishek, and Mary Pavsek.
And now, for a very tragic and sorrowful report in this issue of Zarja. We shall have an empty chair at all our future meetings with the hand of God calling home our dear sister. She is the first loss we have
sustained in our branch. God grant a peaceful rest to a very dear and sweet personage, Mrs. Anna Omerso. Our sympathy to her family and especially to her son.
Bless you all; God willing, see you next month.	Edith Drawenek

Marie Prisland
Obljubila sem podati kratko zgodovino Calumeta in Bakrenega okrožja v severnem Michiganu, kamor so se naši ljudje pričeli naseljevati pred več kot 100 leti. Podatke sem povzela iz knjižice, izdane leta 1940, ob priliki zlatega jubileja tamošnje slovenske fare Sv. Jožefa.
Zgodovina Slovencev v Bakrenem okrožju se pričenja s prihodom misionarja Frederick Baraga, ki se je leta 1843 tam naselil.
Pred zaključkom leta 1843 so Chippewa Indijanci, živeči na Michiganskem pol otoku, odstopili velik del svoje zemlje Združenim Državam, nakar so se tam pričeli odpirati bakreni rudniki in belci so se naglo naselili na prejšno indijansko ozemlje.
Marquettska škofija je bila ustanovljena leta 1853 Misijonar Baraga je bil imenovan prvim škofom nove škofije. Leta 1856 se je škof Baraga mudil v Chicagi in se tam spoznal z dvema Slovencema, rodom iz Bele krajine. Bila sta Jožef Vertin — oče poznejšega škofa Ver-tina — ter Peter Rupe. Pritoževala sta se nad slabo kupčijo. Bila sta namreč trgovca-lcrošnarja. Škof jima je svetoval naj se preselita v Marquette, kjer, so odprli velik rudnik in bo vsled tega tam dobra kupčija.
Vertin in Rupe sta v Chicagi nakupila polne koše malih potrebščin ter se odpravila v Marquette, da tam robo prodajata od hiše do hiše kot sta bila vajena doma in v Nemčiji, kamor sta vsako leto potovala. Radi boljše trgovine sta se leta 18G3 preselila v Hancock, kjer je obratovalo že 5 rudnikov. Ko so v stari domovini zvedeli o dobri trgovini v Ameriki, je sem prišlo več trgovcev, med njimi oče bratov Vertin, ki sta pozneje na Calumetu postavila impozantno trgovino z mešanim blagom, ki je bila največja slovenska trgovina v Ameriki.
Prvi naseljenci Calumeta — večinoma trgovci — so prišli iz Bele krajine. Bili so vešči nemščine in ker je tam bivalo mnogo Nemcev, so se kmalu udomačili. Za njimi so prišli priprosti delavci, ki so takoj dobili delo v rudnikih.
Od leta 1858 do 1864 sta Hecla in Calumet družbi! odkrili bogate zaloge bakrene rude. Delalo se je s polno paro. Baker je imel dobro ceno. Calumet in okolica je rastla in bila na višku prosperitete.
Upoštevati moramo težkoče, ki so jih takrat ljudje imeli z transportacijo. Edina zveza z ostalim svetom so bila jezera, ki pa so po zimi bila pokrita z debelim ledom, da plovba ni bila mogoča. Najbližja železniška postaja je bila v 350 milj oddaljenim Green Bay-u, v Wis-consinu. Od tega mesta do Calumeta je vodila ozka in slabo napravljena indijanska pot. Potovanje s konji je vzelo dneve in dneve. Transportacija je delala ovire tudi trgovcem in rudnikom. Trgovci so se morali že v jeseni založiti z raznovrstnim blagom, da so preživljali prebivalstvo po zimi, rudniki so pa sipali svoje zaloge na kup. Ker rudniki niso mogli prodati bakra do spomladi, niso delavcem mogli plačevati v denarju. Izdajali so papirnate zadolžnice, katere so ljudje pri nakupovanju rabili kot denar. Ko je prišla spomlad in je dospel parnik, ki je naložil rudo, je družba dobila denar in vnovčila, svoje zadolžnice.
Leta 1882 se je na Calumetu ustanovilo prvo slovensko društvo v Ameriki, ki je svoj čas štelo nad 800 članov. Društvo Sv. Jožefa je dalo pobudo za zidanje slovenske cerkve. Z zidavo so pričeli leta 1889. Ko je bila cerkev na pol dograjena, je vso stavbo podrl močan
vihar. Treba je bilo začeti znova. Na 29. novembra 1890 je slovenski škof John Vertin, blagoslovil novo cerkev, ki je stala nad 30 tisoč dolarjev. Cerkvene zvonove so dobili iz starega kraja. Zvonikarji so znali potrkavati tako lepo, da so ljudje drli od vseh strani poslušati “petje zvonov.”
Dne 8. decembra 1902 je cerkev do tal pogorela. Ljudje so z žalostnim srcem motrili ogorelo tramovje, a pogum jim ni upadel. Takoj so pričeli misliti na zidanje nove cerkve. Temeljni kamen novi, severno od Milwaukee najkrasnejši cerkvi je bil položen augusta 1903. Stroški za zidavo in opremo cerkve so znašali nad 100 tisoč doparjev, kar je za tiste čase bila ogromna vsota.
Leta 1908 je cerkev dobila krasne orgije, darilo društva “Slovenskih Fantov.” Prvi organist, umetnik v svojem poklicu, je bil moj ožji rojak, Celjan, Frank Rady. Svojo umetnost je razumel tako odlično da so njegovi koncerti privabili stotine ljudi iz okolice. Organiziral je cerkveni pevski zbor, ki je bil najboljši v celem okrožju.
Za časa Ameriško-Španske vojne, (1898) se je na Calumetu nahajalo lepo število Slovencev, vojakov in oficirjev, ki so služili v avstrijski armadi. Takoj so ustanovili nekak vojaški zbor z imenom “Vitezi Sv. Štefana” ter pričeli z vežbanjem. Vlado v Washingtonu so obvestil, da so pripravljeni vstopiti v vojno na strani Amerike, kadarkoli bi bili poklicani. To je bila menda edina slovenska skupina v Ameriki, ki se je vladi ponudila v obrambo dežele. Ker je bil ta vojaški oddelek dobro izvežban in uniformiran, je vzbujal veliko pozornost med Slovenci, kot med tujerodci. “To so avstrijski sol-dati” je bilo slišati med ljudstvom.
Vzrok, da so naši ljudje bili nazvani z Avstrijci je bil, da Amerikanci o Sloveniji niso bili poučeni. Če je kdo rekel, da je Slovenec, so ga takoj zvali za Slovaka ali Poljaka. Kakor hitro je povedal da je iz Avstrije, jim je bilo jasno, kdo je. Nemci so naše ljudi klicali: “Osterreichische Krainers!” (Avstrijski Krajnci.)
Leta 1903 se je na Calumetu ustanovila Slovensko-Hrvatska Zveza. Poslovala je 36 let., nakar se je združila z Hrvatsko Bratsko Zajednico. Na Calumetu je tudi izhajal slovenski tednik GLASNIK.
Podružnica Slovenske Ženske Zveze št. 28, je bila ustanovljena aprila 1929. Točasno šteje 100 članic.
Za časa prve svetovne vojne so po velikih mestih obstojale dobro plačane službe in lahko delo, kar je po celem okrožju povzročilo trumoma izseljevanje v druge kraje; nekaj radi bojših služb, nekaj radi posledic velikega 9 mesecev trajajočega rudarskega štrajka. Mesto Calumet si od takrat ni opomoglo in je svoje prebivatel-stvo stalno izgubjalo.
Naj omenim Vertinovo družino, prvo v Bakrenem okrožju.
Prej omenjeni Jožef Vertin je bil izvrsten trgovec. Od kraja je krošnjaril; pozneje je v Hancocku kupil kos zemlje, na kateri se je našla bakrena žila. Odprl je rudnik, postavil veliko trgovino ter si nabavil obilo bogastva. Vso življenje je bil naklonjen svojim rojakom. Pomagal jim je dobiti delo, dajal dobre nasvete in tudi finančno pomoč. Njegov sin John je postal škof Marquettske škofije.
Gospa Ana Vertin ni bila le škofova mati temveč mati vseh slovenskih naseljencev v Bakrenem okrožju. Nasitila je na stotine lačnih potnikov. Njena hiša je bila novim priseljencem vedno odprta. — V prvih letih priseljevanja so naši ljude prihajali sem preko Buffala, N. Y. Tam so jih nakladali na parnike, ne na udobne potniške, pač pa tovorne, ki kuhinje za potnike niso imeli. Ljudje so jedli, kar so prinesli s seboj. Pot do Hancocka je trajala 4 dni. Ko so dospeli v pristanišče jih je Mrs. Vertin povabila v svojo hišo, jim dala hrano in prenočišče. Vsakemu potniku je ob slovesu naročila naj jo obišče, če bi kaj potreboval. Mnoge je iz svoje trgovine obdarila z nogavicami, rokavicami, rutami, itd., češ:	“To	imaš za
spomin!” Njena dobrotljivost je bila znana po vsem Bakrenem okrožju. Ko se je blaga žena poslovila od tega sveta se je solzilo marsikatero oko.

P. CLAUDE OKORN:
KRISTUS JE VSTAL
ELIKA NOC je največji praznik v cerkvenem letu. Na čudežih vstalega Kristusa sloni ves nauk božjega učitelja in njegove cerkve. Kristus je obljubil, da če bo tempelj njegovega telesa razdejan, tretji dan bo zopet vstal.
Po veliki žaloigri, ki se je dogodila na Kalvariji, se je zdelo, da so sovražniki Kristusovi zmagali. Vsa leta njegovega javnega življenja, so ga skušali vjeti v zanko. Končno je prišla njihova ura. In dobro so porabili to priliko. Po skrbni pripravi so naščuvali ljudi k uporu. Ustrahovali so Pilata, ko so rekli, da ni cesarjev prijatelj, če čuti za Kristusa.
Ko je padla noč na Veliki petek, so pismarji in larizeji čutili vsaj neko zadoščenje v dopolnitvi svojih naklepov. Zaprli so svoje oči pravi Luči. Zelo malo so se zavedali, da bodo na tretji dan zjutraj imeli opravka z nebeškimi močmi. S svojim vstajenjem je Kristus podal
zadnji dokaz za svoje božanstvo, če je tak dokaz še bil potreben. Zmagal je nad močmi teme. Grozote smrti in groba ga ne strašita. Oropal je smrt njenega žela in groba dragocenega bremena. Vstal je kakor je rekel.
Na vstajenju Kristucovem sveta cerkev gradi ves njen nauk in vse njeno življenje po tem nauku. Sveti Pavel je zapisal v svoji poslanici Korinčanom, “Ako pa Kristus ni vstal je prazna njegova vera in njegovo prepričanje.”
Kristusova zmaga nad grobem je poroštvo našega vstajenja od mrtvih, če našo vero v Kristusa spremljajo dobra dela in življenje po božji postavi. Velika noč pomeni vstajenje naših duš s Kristusom. Velika noč je pred-podoba naše nesmrtnosti v kraljestu blaženih.
Cerkev kliče svoje člane, da hodijo po stopinjah božjega Ustanovitelja in križajo sama sebe s Kristusom na Kalvariji in odmro svojim grehom. Prosi jih, naj gredo
v	grob zatajevanja, da bodo tako lahko slavno in veselo vstali s Kristusom na Veliko noč.
Veselo velikonoč vsem!

DOPISI
St. 3, Pueblo, Colo. - Naš svet je res minljiv, danes poln radosti, a jutri ves v žalosti. Naša podr. je v zadnjem času izgubila kar 5 članic: Frances Novak, Mary Strumbel, ki je bila ustanoviteljica podr., Mary An-zick je podlegla dolgi in mučni bolezni, Mary Hribernik v lepi starosti 84 let in Josephine Stupnik, ki je podlegla hudim poškodbam težke automo-bilske nesreče.

Je zelo zaslužen mož, ki se nikoli ne povzdiguje nad druge. Naša Mary pa se kar mladostna drži, nobene gube nima na obrazu in nima sivnih las v njenih lepih kitali. Tudi ona je zelo poznana oseba daleč naokrog. Naši dobri čla. in njenemu soprogu želimo še mnogo obletnic zakona.
Rafaela Francel in Jennie Kosevar sta srečno prestali operacije na očeh. Več sester boleha na prehladu in drugih boleznih, zato vsem želimo hitrega okrevanja, kakor tudi Mrs. Pris-land, Mrs. Livek, Mrs. Lenich, Mrs. Tomsic in Bari Kramer. Mnogo je stvari na katere moremo biti ponosne po 35 letnem delovanju Zveze, saj tu-

Št. 13, San Francisco, Cal. — Pozdrave čitateljicam Zarje iz daljnega Za-pada. V našem mestu smo imeli sneg en dan kar je bilo v veliko veselje otrokom, ki še snega niso nikoli videli.
8. febr. smo imeli skupno večerjo v poznani, kitajski restavraciji. Kitajci jedo več zelenjave, kakor mesa ter mnogo riža. Hrano smo imele na vrtiljaku sredi mize (revolving plate), da si je vsaka lahko sama postregla. Nato smo obiskale Fermont Hotel, peljale smo se v steklenem dvigalu zunaj nebotičnika na vrh “Nob Hill”. Ko stopiš v dvigalo se ti zdi, da si nekje v zraku; pod teboj pa se leskečejo tisoče bisernih lučk našega prekrasnega mesta.
Iz domovine pišejo, da so tamkaj pokopali enega največjih svetovnih kiparjev Ivana Meštroviča. Umrl je v South Bend, Ind., ker je na Notre Dome univerzi poučeval kiparstvo. Na velikega umetnika smo lahko ponosni.
Opozarjam vas na ponovno turo na havajske otoke, letos v augustu. Načrte pripravljajo tukaj pod nadzorstvom Frances Chiodo naše pridne angleške poročevalka. Pozdravlja,
Poldica Podgornik

Kupile smo 5 vstopnic za mladinski koncert na Waterloo, kateri dobiček je namenjen za dom ostarelih na Nel’f Rd. — Družina Travnikar se je lepo zahvalila, ker smo šle molit za pokoj duše njihove mame. Bila je dolgoletna dobra članica. Družini naše sožalje!

22. jan. smo imele dobro večerjo pri Globokarjevih na 200 St. in Euclid. Imele smo tudi muziko in nekaj članic je bilo tako srečnih, da so dobile steklene fante na krožnikih s sladkim vinom. Hvala ses. Frances Globokar in vsem, ki so nam tako sijajno postregli. Pravkar sem izvedela, da so pri Vinkotu Globokar kupili punčko.

St. 16, So. Chicago, III. 2e dolgo se
nisem oglasila. Sedaj imamo tudi dobro poročevalko v angleškem jeziku, ki je bivša tajnica Rose Salokar, tako da lahko tudi mlade berejo kaj se godi pri podružnici. Crez eno leto bomo praznovale 35 letnico obstoja naše podr. Mnogo dobrega se je že naredilo v tem dolgem času. Vsako leto priredimo kako zabavo in dohodki gredo v dobre namene. Tudi članice se dobro zabavajo na teh prireditvah in tako bomo letos zopet šle na kokošjo večerjo in sicer k sestri Cholak v soboto 5. maja zvečer. Vse članice, ki so se udeležile G sej v letu so proste, a pridejo tudi druge lahko na svoje stroške. Več nas bo, lepše bo.
Ker je bila tako huda zima, zato ni bila preveč dobra udeležba na zadnji seji. Več sester tudi boleha, katerim želim hitrega okrevanja, da boste lahko prišle na seje.
Blagoslovljene Velikonočne praznike želim vsem.

JE VREDNO DVA PENIJA!
Dve važni stvari, ki sta neobhodno potrebni pri izdajanju ZARJE, sta se podražile in to je,
PAPIR IN POŠTNINA
Edina rešitev te podražitve je v tem, da vsaka članica prispeva 2 centa na mesec v kritje teh dodatnih stroškov. Odbor Direktoric je zato na pol-letni seji sklenil, da bo vsaka članica dodatno k asesmentu vsak mesec plačala
EN PENI ZA PAPIR IN EN PENI ZA POŠTNINO.
Ko boste odslej plačevale mesečno članarino, Vas bo tajnica tudi vprašala za 2 centa in razumele boste, da je to za Zarjo. Katera pa hoče, lahko plača en kvoder (25«9 za celo leto! §••••••••••§••••••••••§••••
St. 18, Cleveland, Ohio. Pričenjam s pozdravom vsem članicam. Težko mi je pisati, ker se naše članice ne zanimajo dovolj za delovanje podr. Febr. seja se ni mogla vršiti, zaradi slabe udeležbe; res je bilo izredno slabo vreme. Zahvala velja sestram Mrs. Zar-das in Mrs. Ostrelič za darilo v blagajno. Enako prav lepa hvala Mrs. Boštjančič.
V	marcu so obhajale rojstne dneve Mrs. J. Grebenc in Mrs. R. Glavič. Obe so fajn punce. Vse najboljše!
Vsem kličem na svidenje na prihodnji seji. Pozdravljam sestre po ce-
li	Ameriki, da bi bile zdrave in veselo praznovale Velikonoč!

Št. 23, Ely, Minn. Zaradi slabega vremena je bila zabava, ki bi se imela Vršiti v febr., preložena na sejo v marcu.
Smrt nas je zopet prikrajšala za eno dobro članico, Mrs. Frances Erzar, ki je trpela več let na sladkorni bolezni. Na predvečer pogreba, smo za pokoj njene duše molile rožni venec in se udeležile pogrebne sv. maše. Zapušča moža, 3 sinove in dve omo-ženi hčeri, katerim izrekamo naše sožalje.
Redek smrtni slučaj je zadel tukajšnjo dvojico Mr. in Mrs. Joseph Romšek. Omenjena sta se podala v novembru na obisk k prijateljem Mr. in Mrs. Joe Ilake v Punta Corda, Fla. Oba sta bila bolj rahlega zdravja. Ko sta se v začetku jan. vračala z letalom domov, je letalo pristalo v Minneapolis, Minn., in ko je Mr. Rom-šek izstopil, se je zgrudil mrtev, njegova žena se je sklonila k njemu in nekaj minut za tem sama umrla. Mrs. Romšek je iz znane Bamovčove družine in zapušča 5 bratrov in 2 sestri. Otrok nista imela. Skupni pogreb se je vršil iz cerkve sv. Antona.

Pri vojakih je služil 3 leta. Obe njegove stare mame, ses. Mary Koklic, naša podpreds. ter ses. Frances Masojedec so ustanoviteljice naše podr. Družini naše globoko sožalje.
Vsem, ki boste obiskale staro domovino, želim veliko razvedrila in srečen povratek.
Lepo pozdravljene vse gl. odbornice, posebno pa še naša Corinne, ki nam tako lepo urejuje Zarjo.
Mary Tomsic, preds.
Št. 88, Johnstown, Pa. Zaradi starosti se je dosedanja tajnica Mary Lovše odpovedala temu uradu in prevzela je Jennie Stusek, ki bo sedaj imela čast in dolžnosti tajnice. Ako članstvo sodeluje, potem tajniški posel ni težak, zato apeliram na vas vse članice, da pomagajmo novi tajnici s tem, da prihajamo boj redno na seje.
Prepričana sem, če bi pričelo 10 članic hoditi redno na seje, potem bi se odzvale še druge. Truditi se moramo, da bodo seje privlačne in zanimive. Če bi imele vedno kaj novega na dnevnem redu, bi to bilo privlačno. Imamo prosto dvorano, imamo tudi nekaj denarja, samo podjetnosti je treba in bi se brezbrižnost odpravila.
Apeliram na vse članice, da podpirajo novo tajnico, ker je od začetka precej težko. Poravnajte zaostale prispevke, da bodo računi v pravilnem stanju. — Sestre, premislite malo o tem. Zavedajmo se, ako ne bo napredka, to ne bo krivda tajnice, ampak nas vseh. V želji, da bo tudi št. 88 prinesla svoj delež k večji in boljši Ženski Zvezi, zaključim te vrstice s sesterskim pozdravom. M. Zupan
Št. 100, Fontana, Calif. Febr. seja je bila zelo dobro obiskana. Želimo, da bi na vsaki seji bila tako lepa udeležba. Po seji smo se prav dobro imele. Hvala ses. Majzek in ses. Drawenik. Sklenile smo, da bomo vsak tretji mesec praznovale rojstne dneve in stroški bodo kriti iz blagajne. Da se blagajni pomaga, smo v marcu imele rummage sale. Zahvala ses. Uster za darilo v blagajno in enako se zahvalimo ses. Martin in ses. Erček.
Bolane so ses. Gorišek in kuharica Fr. Horvat. Obema želimo ljubega zdravja, kakor vsem ostalim, ki se ne počutijo dobro.
Na seji nas je obiskala ses. Johana Aubel iz Presto, Pa. od št. 90. Njene ga obiska smo bile zelo vesele. Do svidenja na seji, vse najlepše pozdravljam.	Christine	Filips

EVERY SATURDAY AT 3:30!
Our Juniors start the ball rolling at the Grdina Lanes every Sat. afternoon at 3:30. The present teams of boys and girls are do:'ng just tine under the capable direction of Pauline Vegal and they look forward to eacli Sat. with full enthusiasm — in fact, some of them can hardly wait!
Next year will be better — because then we will have twelve teams!
Alice Koporc, Robert Lube, Ronald and Max Traven, had the times of their lives on Feb. 25th at the S.W.U. Bowling Tournament. Because of illness, a few of the ladies couldn’t bowl, and because our juniors were there as spectators, they were chosen to fill in! Were they excited! And, who ha<l a better right, we say, because they do bowl regularly under the auspices of S.W.U. It would bs nice to learn how well they are doing — so, how about some of you sending ini your scores on strikes and spares each month? C’mon Mothers! Belong .and participate! S.W.U. Junior activities will help you keep young and on the ball! Help along and begin a good project for the juniors of your branch. Start them by organizing a junior group to keep the heritage of our ancestors alive, and then write us all about the groups on this page each month. Take personal pride in knowing you are doing a good deed!
St. Clair Cadets Reporting!
The St. Clair Cadets are all working hard under the guidance of a professional baton instructor, getting ready to do competitive work. There are about 4 c!ity-wide contests a year and the cadets are very anxious to enter these contests so that our organization can be proud of its junior members.
A record of attendance is being kept so that we keep track of the cadets who come to practice each week. Then, only those who have a good attendance will be chosen for special occasions. This is very important — to do perfect work they must attend every week. So, only the best will be chosen to perform at the State Convention on; April 1st at the Slov. Nat’l Home oil St. Clair, along with our junior dancers.
All the cadets are again invited to the annual Spring Carnival at the Recretation Center. Here they will demonstrate marching in formation, work, baton twirling, dancing and of course, a performance by the Drum Corps.
Soon we are going to have a bake sale. All proceeds will be used to help pay for contest entry fees.
A special thank you is extended to our good members who participated in the Bowling Tournament and for
the donations give to finish paying for the drums. A very special Big Thank You to Angie Lube, who worked so hard lor this project. She is the mother of our head drummer, Robert Lube and has two little girls in the junior group as well.
*	-x-
We are trying very hard to start a singing group among our juniors. So, here is an important message to all our St. Clair Motehrs: “Can you play the piano? Would you be interested in conducting a singing group of children? All you have to do is spend one hour every Saturday at the St. Clair Recreation Center. Please call AN. 1-285G if interested!” Frances Seitz J
JUVENILE EASTER PARTIES
Branches holding Easter Parties as their one Juvenile Party of the year, are entitled to the 25c per juvenile from the Home Office. Sec-cretaries are advised to send the number of juveniles attending to the Supreme Secretary for this appropriation.
Pen Pals Write!
Dear Kathy,
Please write and let us know how you are getting along after your accident. I bet by this time you are all well and back in school again. I think it would be very interesting to all our Juniors if you told us all about your stay in the hospital Not the painful side — but, sometimes funny little 'Incidents do happen!
Easter is just around the corner — and pretty soon vacations will start again. Let us know how you plan to spend your vacation!
DONNA
Bear Renee,
Enjoyed your letter, it’s so nice to have a faithful pen pal. Sometimes I feel so bad when I realize that we have so many boys and girls in. our organization and so few take an interest in our “Junior Page.” But you and I know it’s a lot of fun. Don’t you wish there were more juniors
who would write and let us know all about themselves?
The weather was very cold, and we had a lot of snow — but, I didn’t mind because my friends and I had a lot of fun. ice skating this winter. It’s a sport I enjoy very much. I also roller skate, bowl and enjoy good movies.
At school we have gym every day; this, too,	is a lot of	fun	—	that
is, until it’s time for showers. We really have to rush to get ready for .our next period.
Right now, the eighth grade pupils in our school are very busy getting ready to sign up for our High School curriculum. I’ve decided to take a business course, typing and shorthand and	a major in	English	and
French. These are the subjects I find mpst	interesting.
Have a	nice Easter,	and	let us
know all about your Easter Outfit.
