REV. CLAUDE OKORN, O.F.M.
OUR FATHER
Father is the word used in our language daily. Seldom we realize the real moaning of the word. It is through fatherhood that we are born for corporal or spiritual world God is called “Our Father” because He is the Father of all Christians, whom He has made His children by Holy Baptism. God is also the Father of all mankind because He made them all, and loves and preserves them all.
Who does not know the Lord’s Prayer. It was taught by Jesus Himself. We remember the occasion. The apostles had seen Jesus praying. They also heard Him speak about prayer. One day a disciple spoke up: Lord, teach us to pray. “In this manner therefore shall you pray,” said Christ. “Our Father . . . We know the rest. Wo know this prayer by heart. We have said it so many times. The words are simple and clear, so the child and uneducated person can understand them. It is a moving talk of a child to his father What father will not listen to a child in need, a child who comes humbly and trustingly to him?
The Lord’s Prayer Is deep in its meaning. It expresses complete confidence in God and is asking for every need of body and soul. In this prayer we honor God and his kingdom first then ask for His favors, temporal and spiritual. Because it answers every need, the Lord’s Prayer is used almost constantly by the Catholic Church. We pray it at the reception of several sacraments. We Pray it during every Holy Mass and in many blessings of the church.
Using words like Lord, Almighty One, Creator, would bring fear into our hearts but the word Father fills you with trust and confidence.

SILVER JUBILEE OF FR. OKORN
June 4th is the day our Spiritual Advisor, Rev. Claude Okorn will celebrate his Silver Jubilee Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church, Milwaukee, Wise, followed by a reception at the church hall for his many friends. We offer him heartiest wishes for a continuance of happiness as a devoted servant of God. Congratulations!	Editor
    ).
The accomplished actor, Edwin Booth, was once invited to dinner by an educated and pious old gentleman who had his prejudices against theaters and actors. Someone asked Booth to read the “Our Father.” Slowly and reverently, Booth rose from his chair. He turned pale and lifted heavenward eyes that were wet with tears. After a solemn silence, Booth began in his rich reverent tones: Our Father who art in heaven. He continued the Lord’s Prayer with such meaning and feeling that everyone was thrilled. When he finished there was graveyard silence. Not a word was uttered nor a movement made, until finally the host seized Booth’s hands and exclaimed: “Sir, you have given me a pleasure which I can never forget. I am an old man, and every day from my boyhood until now 1 thought I had repeated the Lord’s Prayer, but I never knew it—never heard it—until now.” “To read this prayer as it should be read,” Booth declared slowly, “has caused me the severest study and labor for thirty years; and I am far from being satisfied with my rendering of it ”
Prayer is talking to God How can we talk to God better than by the prayer taught by Jesus Himself. Use that prayer often; use it thoughtfully.
PRESIDENT’S MONTHLY MESSAGE!
JUNE, THE MONTH OF GRADUATIONS!
June is bringing to us many significant celebrations. Graduations will be in order from the first week until the third week in June. Graduation exercises are very interesting for the young and old because the graduates look upon their day as a day of pleasant acknowledgement lor their hard work all through the long years in school. Parents and relatives join them with pride in their celebrations also because to them it brings to mind the happy 'lays of long ago, when they, too, were through the same ordeal. Youth with its illusions, expectations and dreams is a wonderful stage in life. God bless each and every graduate and give them the good fortune to achieve further successes.
June is also the month of weddings. God bless every bride and groom!
On the third Sunday in June is Father’s Day. We should rejoice on this day because we have been given fathers without whom the world could not survive. To each and every father we wish many happy years ahead.
To the fathers who have left this valley of tears for a better life, we shall offer many spiritual bouquets. May they rejoice with the Heavenly Father above.
June 21st is the birthday of our founder, Sister Ma-
rie Prislaiul. Happy birthday! And, may life’s dearest blessings all find their way to you
Do not l'oiget the annual Pilgrimage day in Lemont, July 16, 1961.	Be	seeing	you	there!
With kindest regards,
Josephine Livek, Supreme President
SILVER ANNIVERSARY OF RRANCII 73 A DELIGHTFUL EVENT
Sunday, April 23, 1961 was a great day for branch 73, Warrensville, Ohio, which commemorated Its 25th jubilee. It was a grand occasion for the officers and members to invite their many friends to participate In the celebration. I, too, was very happy to have had the privilege of attending and to meet the diligent officers and members and their many guests. There were over 400 seated in the spacious banquet hall of Slovenian National Home on East 80th St., enjoying a very delicious dinner, the program and the dancing which followed. I hope that the pictures which were taken will turn out well so that the readers of Zarja will enjoy them at some time. Many thanks to each and everyone for the warm reception and I assure you that I will long treasure the short and pleasant visit with you.
Your grateful friend, Albina Novak, Supreme Sec’y
Minutes of the Wisconsin State Convention
The third Wisconsin State Convention was held April 23, 1961, at West Allis. Branch #17 was hostess.
The convention opened with a High Mass at the Slovenian Church, Mary Help of Christians, with Rev. Joseph Gole, Professor of Theology at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Milwaukee, officiating. Following the Mass, a dinner was served in the Church Auditorium to 400 guests. A short program was presented.

Claude Okorn, Spiritual Advisor of the S.W.U., Mrs. Marie Prisland, founder, Mrs. Josephine Livek, Supreme President and Mrs. Josephine Schloser, President of Branch #17, extended their greetings to the delegates and members of the five Wisconsin Branches.

To honor the 35th anniversary of the Slovenian Women’s Union and its founder, Mrs. Marie Prisland, the branches of the State of Wisconsin, shall try and reach a total of 1,000 members this year. — The members promised their co-operation in this endeavor.

Mrs. Marie Prisland was complimented for writing and asked to continue the English column in Zarja — Pots, Pans and Pastime as the younger members are taking great interest in reading it.
It was suggested that occasionally the three Milwaukee branches should combine their meetings to get better acquainted.
Mrs. Marie Florian, Secretary no. 17, enrolled 37 new members and Margaret Fischer, Secretary Branch no. 1, who enrolled 23 new members in the past campaign were recipients of lovely gifts from Mrs. Livek for their efforts.

ACTIVITIES
No. 2, Chicago, III.—Of special news this month is the grand success a-chieved in our recent project for the Sisters’ Building Fund in Lemont. The branch collected $580.00, a total which surprised and thrilled us all as it was announced at the May meeting by our industrious chairman, Steffie Osterman. Returns are still welcome; we hope those members who weren’t able to attend the meeting or send in the remittance, will still do so, as it is a worthwhile benefit and one we should all favor.
We know that the lady who donated the beautiful evening bag which was the prize, is happy that our members were so generous in returning their tickets. To Mrs. Wilma Habazin, who sold 100 tickets herself, our most sincere thanks for her kindness to this cause and her thoughtfulness to our branch. 'The winner, Mrs. E. Nelson of Downers Grove, sold 50 tickets for the purse and surely deserves winning it! We hope some of the other branches will do the same and collect funds to help with the building of the St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged in Lemont.
Our Mother's Day program turned
out very nicely, thanks to the cooperation of our little ones who sang and recited for their mommies and grandmas. The candlelight procession was a lovely moment, dedicated to all mothers. Mother of the Year, Frances Gomilar, was touched by the lovely poem her little Rose Marie recited and the gift presented by the branch. Goodies were abundant and everyone had a pleasant evening.
See you June 8th, at the important pre-Lemont Day meeting.

No. 7, Forest City, Pa.—Hello everybody! Spring is here and soon vacation-time. Congratulations to all graduates, in all branches of S.W.U. Best wishes to our recent newlyweds, new mamas and grandparents.
We wish a speedy return to good health to all our sick members. Sympathy to those who have lost their dear ones—such is life—we are all here on borrowed time. No one knows when they’re to be called.
Hope this summer will be a happy time and that our juniors will find productive things to do. Try to encourage them to form a junior circle with outings, sewing and craft classes, etc., to occupy their time. In union
there is strength, so we must get them together: those with good ideas should speak up and let’s see who will be first with the best Idea.

No. 13, San Francisco, Calif. — Last minute jitters are descending upon us, with Hawaii just a few weeks away. It seems the work involved arranging such a tour is never as bad as last minute jitters with hopes that all has been done to make all the people (grand enough to spend time in our company), happy and satisfied.
I	assure a wonderful time is in store for all with little extras to add to the pleasure. Hawaii is Paradise and itself offers so much beauty and tranquility, comfortable wash dresses are really all that’s needed so no expensive wardrobe is necessary. The food is DELICIOUS and tempting but don’t fear you “weight watchers”, the fresh fruit salads, fish dishes, and various other foods are filling and not fattening. I vouch as I lost weight while in Hawaii. With Tourism, the Number One trade, I have had to be well schooled to pass the good pointers on to you or I couldn’t qualify as your tour Director. San Francisco is working very diligently under the super-
vision of State President Rose Scoff, and our Branch President, Jerry A-dami, and an excellent committee, to extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Now all that can be said is: See you in San Francisco SOON, Ladies! May good health and happiness reign in your home till we meet.
Many, many thanks to Corinne Leskovar with her help in covering this tour in Zarja month after month. Without her help, I might not have reached some of our tour members. Thanks, Gal, you can be sure it is well appreciated.
Thanks too, to all the Secretaries who worked with me to reach the members with the information regarding our tour, without you this could not have been possible. Thanks to Josephine Sumic, who backed me in the Eastern Section of our States and thus added the much needed personal touch. The list of thanks would be too long, so may I simply say THANKS to all! It is only by working together we realize success, so our success is yours.
With Convention still fresh in everyone’s mind it is so gratifying to know our organization is in such good hands, needless to say our leaders are truly leaders and from them we can learn much as have I .over the years with contact via mail.
Plans are in the offing for a Dinner meeting to be held in October, the date as yet not verified, it is our Project to swell our treasury though we promise the kind of delicious meal that Kranski Hrib is famous for. It is a night of good fellowship and time to ‘‘GET TOGETHER” with one another.
Sadness visited the home of our Secretary twice in a very short time with the loss of loved members of her family. Our prayers go out to you, Betty Doherty, for despite much sorrow you can find time to spread kindness and a smile which is so much a part of your personality.
Closing this article, may I pass this lovely poem on to you.
Whatever you have that is good, my dear,
That will make this old world more true,
Just scatter it everywhere you go,
And watch the good come back to you.	(Z.D.H.)

In spite of her suffering, she always welcomed visitors to

Successful State Convention In Wisconsin
No. 17, West Allis, Wise.—Our 3rd annual Wise. State Day and Convention was held on Sunday, April 23rd, biginning with a High Mass at 10:30 at St. Mary’s Help of Christian Church, The Mass was said by Rev. Father Joseph Gole, our spiritual advisor of Br. 17. Rev. Father Matthew Setnaear was unable to have Mass at that time.
The combined choirs sang the Mass and hymns under the direction of Miss Josephine Imperl and Sister I^ouise the organist.
The dinner was held at St. Mary's Auditorium where many members and their friends enjoyed a full course turkey dinner.
The opening prayer was said by Rev. Fr. Claude Okorn, our spiritual advisor.
Among our distinguished guests were the following: Rev. Claude Okorn, Rev. Matthew Setnicar, Rev. Jerome Ziegler, Rev. Joseph Gole, State Pres. Rose Kraemer, Honorary Pres and Foundress, Marie Pt'island, Supreme Pres Josephine Livek, Mr and Mrs Anton Verbick, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Glojeck, attorney, Mr and Mrs. John Pet-rich.
Mrs. Josephine Schlosar, our president, welcomed the guests and friends and then introduced our Secretary, Marie A. Floryan who obtained the most new members in the state of Wise, during the Pre-Convention campaign. Mrs. Floryan was presented a beautiful corsage of orchids and given gifts by Mrs. Schlosar, Mrs. Jackie Nimmer and our Supreme Pres, Josephine Livek. Marie, as we all know her, has always been and is a hard and faithful worker. She is really the backbone of our branch. Marie held office of treasurer in 1940 and ’41 then became secretary in 1942 and has remained our faithful officer all these years. She has really improved our branch thru her capability and wonderful know-how.
A beautiful cake, shaped like an open book, was baked by Mrs. Mary Petrich and presented to Mrs. Marie Pris-land, our Honorary President and Foundress. You would really have to see this cake to know its beauty and the fine work done on it. It was very nice of Mrs. Petrich to bake and decorate such a beautiful cake.
A short program was intermingled with the distinguished speakers and songs were sung by the St. Mary’s Help of Christians 7:30 Church Choir under the direction of Josephine Imperl and Sister Louise, organist. A solo was sung “Ave Maria” by Mrs. Janet Oman and a duet by Mrs. Oman and Mrs Marion Marolt, our vice-pres. We had a wonderful impersonation of an immigrant done by Victor Kraly; he was hilarious! Everyone enjoyed the program.
Many thanks go to Tony Verbick who did a wonderful job as Master of Ceremonies.
Thanks to the Caterers and committee for a fine job and also to the husbands, Tony Marolt and Frank Muran who helped us a lot.
At the Wisconsin State convention, Mrs. Mary Petrich, Supreme officer of K.S.K.J. presented Mrs. Marie Prisland an artistically decorated cake which she baked herself. The inscription on the cake was:

No. 20, Joliet, III. Our sincere congratulations to Miss Joyce Goron, a spelling winner taking second place in the spelling contest held here in Joliet. Many hundreds of the best students are chosen from all schools in Joliet and vicinity for this spelling contest. We are proud to have Joyce Goron win the second prize. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Goron from Center St., and a granddaughter of Mrs. Anna Mahkovec. Mrs. Goron has been the secretary of our Joliet bowling league for a number of years and at present is their reporter. She also was the vice pres-
ident of the branch and for many years the captain of our championship cadets. We take this opportunity to congratulate Joyce’s parents and relatives and wish more success in the future.
The mother of our secretary, Frances, fell and broke her hip. Mrs. Mary Gaspich is now at St. Joseph’s Hosp-for several weeks. We hope she will soon be able to step on her feet and return home. Mrs. Frank Skul is also a patient in St. Joseph’s for a few weeks. Mr. Skul is our police captain. Mrs. Mary Cohll Is also very ill. She underwent two operations

I	kept the feet a tappin’ a bit playing records during the course of the day.

Beans are concentrated food and should not be eaten with other concentrated food like meat, gravy, or nuts. They should be eaten with a salad and cooked leafy vegetables, followed by a glass of milk, buttermilk or cottage cheese. Eaten this way you may never know you ate them, your stomach will feel light and you will feel like a million.

“WHY DO WE HAVE so much trouble with overweight”, a homemaker asked her doctor. “Is it because we have too many vitamins In our food? We seem to eat less than our parents did who used lots more cream, butter and rich desserts and were not troubled by overweight.”
Doctor: “We do a lot less physically. Grandfather usually had milked cows, fed the hogs and chickens before breakfast time. Grandmother didn’t have labor saving devices or the convenient foods we now enjoy. Ironing with a "sad” iron was a lot different than with a steam iron. Clothes didn’t wash themselves then. No — you can’t blame it on the vitamins.”

No 46, St. Louis, Mo. — Everyone who attended the Mother’s Day Party said they had a good time and the food was very good. I was sorry I could not attend. This is probably the first one I ever missed. I was in the process of house cleaning and slipped only on two steps and fractured the fibula in my left ankle. I am in a cast and it is difficult to get around so I had to pass the party up this year.
I	am sorry to report that Mary Krpan, one of our older members is in the City Hospital. It would be good to check and see if she is still a patient in the hospital. Otherwise send her a card—her home address is: 1837 So. 13th St., St. Louis 18, Mo.
As I mentioned in the May issue of Zarja, the meeting is scheduled to be at my home in June. You can still meet here, but please don’t look around too much, because I will still be in this cast and I don’t know how my house will look. So I don't know when it will ever get cleaned this year. It’s just as well that you meet here, because I probably would not be able to go any place any way. So it’s June 11th, at 2:00 p. m. I
might put you all to work— who knows? I hear Josephine Speck’s husband is getting along as good as can be expected. He is staying with a daughter, Mary Moeningman. Is beginning to walk again, which is very good. He had a fractured hip. Remember Mrs. Speck in your prayers.
See you June 11, at my house, 6427 Woodbine Ct. at 2:00 p. m.

Remember all of our sick and deceased members in your daily prayers.
Mildred James, Pres.
No. 100, Fontana, Calif. — We are
having beautiful weather here—some days are warm, then cool; but no rain. There is so much going on here that a person can never get caught up with the news.
The Mother-of-the-Year, our deserving president, Dorothy Petrich, really deserves this honor. She is always very active in all affairs, always ready to help. The Mother’s Day pot-luck supper and bake sale is now over. It was a very successful event. Dorothy is very happy to have her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Haver, visiting her.
This is a littel late, but my sincere wishes that God will bless each and every mother: and for our departed mothers, may the perpetual light shine upon, them. Pray for them.
Congratulations to Christine Filips who became grandma for the 8th time.
Mary Pernush is also leaving for Europe visiting Sodražica Slovenia and different places. Also, Mary Ev-anich will meet her daughter in Zurich. We wish all of you a safe return home.
To all who have celebrated their birthdays, we wish a very Happy Birthday and, to all of our members who are ill, a speedy recovery.
Congratulations to anniversary celebrants.
Please do not forget our next meeting.
So, until then, God bless you all.

OCE NAS ...
Beseda oče nam vsem dobro znana. Tolikokrat jo ponavljamo mi sami, ali pa jo slišimo izgovarjati, da nam je že tako domača kot vsakdanji kruh, ki ga uživamo. Vendar kolikokrat mislimo na pomen te besede, ko jo izgovarjamo. Kako globok je njen pomen. Navadno jo zdrdramo tja v en dan kakor ura budilka, ki nas zbudi zjutraj, ali kot lutka, ki odpoje svojo pesem, ko jo navijemo.
Naravno je, da otroci kličejo glavo družine očeta. Ne bi si mogli drugače misliti. Saj tudi ni treba. Celo sam božji sin je rabil besedo oče velikokrat in z velikim spoštovanjem. Večkrat je rekel:	Moja	jed	je	izpolniti	voljo
mojega očeta. Nič nas tako ne prevzame kakor preprosta prošnja apostolov:	Gospod,	uči nas moliti. Jezus je pre-
čul celo noč v molitvi. Apostoli so ga opazovali. Pogovor, ki ga je Jezus imel s svojim nebeškim očetom se je odražal na njegovem zadržanju. Prošnja apostolov je bila naravna posledica Jezusovega zadržanja pri molitvi. In sedaj poslušajte kako Gospod ugodi prošnji apostolov. Kakor je bila prošnja preprosta tako je tudi poduk. Jezus jim pravi:	“Ko molite, recite: Oče naš, kateri si v ne-
besih ... Od tistega časa naprej imamo prelepo molitev, preprosto ln prisrčno: Gospodovo molitev.
Čimbolj razmišljamo o besedi oče bolj se zavedamo kako je ta beseda povezana z našim življenjem. Kakor naše telesno življenje zavisi od ustvarjevalne moči očeta, ki je to moč dobil od Boga samega, tako tudi naše duhovno življenje zavisi od ustvarjevalne moči nebeškega O-četa. Ko postajamo kristjani in dediči nebes in otroci božji nam duhovnik kliče ob tem važnem trenutku:	Krs-
tim te v imenu Očeta ... Ko začenjamo svoje prve molitve kot otroci ali jih ne začnemo z besedami:	V
imenu Očeta ... Pa ne samo otroška doba, ampak vse življenje od rojstva do groba je prepleteno s priznanjem nebeškega Očeta.
Kristjani, ki venijejo v Boga izpovedujejo svoje vero z besedami:	Verujem	v Boga Očeta, vsemogočnega stvar-
nike nebes in zemlje. S tem, ko človek izraža vero v
POSLANICA GL. PREDSEDNICE:
Drage sestre:
Junij, mesec graduacij študentov. Kako lepa je mladost, ki si predstavlja toliko dobrih časov! Bog daj, da bi se vsi naši graduanti zares dobro imeli, ne samo ob graduaciji, ampak dolgo vrsto bodočih let!
Junij je tudi mesec za neveste. Obilo sreče in blagoslova vsem, ki se bodo ženili!
Tretjo nedeljo v juniju, namreč IG, bo pa Očetov Dan! Da bi bil srečen in vesel dan za vse očete, je gotovo prisrčna želja nas sveh. Vse, ki pa krije črna zemlja, jim pa bo ta dan gotovo oddanih mnogo duhovnih spominov.
Dne 21. junija je rojstni dan naše ustanoviteljice sestre Marie Prisland. V imenu članstva ji želim še mnogo zdravih in srečnih let!
V	nedeljo, 16. julija, pa upam, da se snidemo v prelepem Lemontu z velikim številom članic in prijateljev. Postrežen bode vsak.
Na veselo svidenje takrat in lep pozdrav vsem dragim, Josephine Livek, predsednica
Zvezin gl. duhovni svetovalec srebmomasnik
V	nedeljo dne 4. junija bo v slov. cerkvi Sv. Janeza Krstitelja v Milwaukee slavil z Zahvalno sv. mašo svoj srebrni masniški jubilej, gl. duhovni svetovalec SŽZ, c. g. p. KLAVDIJ OKORN, OFM. 25 let je poteklo odkar je naš priljubljeni duhovni vodja prejel od svojega škofa v ljubljanski stolnici masniško posvečenje in oblast oznanjati božjo blagovest in od takrat je naš čestiti srebrnomašnik v resnici deloval v vinogradu Gospodovem skoro po vseh kontinentih sveta: Evropi, Austra-liji in sedaj Ameriki.
Ob tem lepem jubileju vzvišene mašniške službe, pošiljamo vse članice SŽZ slavljencu našo zahvalo za njegovo požrtvovalno delo za Zvezo, predvsem za njegove prelepe članke v naši Zarji in mu z iskrenimi čestitkami, želimo mnogo blagoslova božjega v njegovem poklicu tudi v bodočnosti. Z njegovimi farani bomo tega dne združene vse članice Zveze v molitvah za srečo in bodoče uspehe našega č. duhovnega svetovalca.

Boga, priznava obenem, da je odvisen od Očeta, ki je začetek in konec vseh stvari. Ta odvisnost od Boga in navezanost nanj je še bolj izražena v besedah: Oče naš S tem priznamo, da smo po sinu božjem Jezusu Kristusu postali sinovi in hčere nebeškega Očeta. Izraz Stvarnik bi vzbujal strah in se ne bi upali približati Bogu. Izraz Oče pa vzbuja zaupanje ln prisrčen odnos.
Beseda oče izraža našo vero, naše upanje, našo ljubezen. Izraža vero v Presveto Trojico, v včlovečenje sina božjega. Upanje nam kaže na nebeško dediščino, upanje podpira naše prošnje do Boga. Z upanjem sledimo besedi:	Prosite in se vam bo dalo. Z upanjem se obračamo
k Bogu po tolažbo in pomoč. Ljubezen nas veže z vezjo bratstva. Ljubezen je vez prijateljstva med ljudmi, je vez družine in edini način doseči mir.
Oče pomeni, da smo otroci božji po duhovnem življenju milosti. Po njem smo se prerodili in postali udje mističnega telesa Kristusovega. Po svetem krstu je Bog postal nas oče in ml njegovi otroci.
O	nekem perzijskem kralju pripovedujejo, da ni imel nič otrok. Nekega dne je srečal na cesti nekega zapuščenega šest-letnega otroka. Vzel ga je v svojo palačo, ga začel vzgajati in učiti in končno posinovil. Na žalost je kralj že cež dve leti umrl. V svoji oporoki je dal vsa potrebna navodila za tega svojega otroka. Takole je napisal :	„Allja,’	tako je bilo otroku ime, „ sem napravil za
svojega sina Vzgojite ga po svojih najboljših močeh in posvetite mu vso skrb do njegovega petnajstega leta starosti. Če bo v tem času pokazal dovolj pozornosti in bo moder, olikan in dovzeten za molitev, ga postavite na moj prestol. Če pa ne bi bil dovzeten za dobro vzgojo in bi bil brezobziren, brezbrižen in ne bi hotel sodelovati s tistimi, ki ga vzgajajo, naj bo zavržen. Te besede so otroku večkrat prebrali. Kljub temu je postajal vse bolj len, brezbrižen in nepokoren. Ob njegovem petnajstem rojstnem dnevu so ga vrgli iz kraljeve palače. Bil je žalostna podoba življenja.
Nebeški oče nas je sprejel za sinove in hčere. Kako mi sodelujemo z milostmi, ki so nam dane, da posedemo kraljestvo, ki nam je pripravljeno od začetka sveta. Če so nam bolj všeč naše misli in načrti kakor pa božje, se nam more zgoditi, da se bomo tudi mi znašli izven kraljeve palače, predani žalostni bodočnosti, ki bo toliko bolj boleča, ker smo si jo sami izvolili.

Presentila me je moja pošta glede članka “Čudoviti krvni obtok,” ki je bil priobčen meseca marca. Članice poročajo, da so spis po dvakrat prebrale in želijo naj še kaj sličnega priobčim. Lajiku je težko pisati in prevajati zdravniške članke; treba je na vsako besedo paziti, da je pravilno prestavljena. —Toraj na željo danes priobčujem članek, ki ga je spisal Slovenec, Dr. M. Černič.
NAŠI ŽIVCI
“Neredkokrat slišimo koga tarnati, da je s svojimi živci pri kraju. V resnici pa večkrat niso za občutek prenapetosti odgovorni živci, marveč notrajna neskladja, ki možganom ne dopuste, da bi se umirili. Električni impulzi ali povelja, ki prihajajo iz izmučenih in obupno vrtajočih se možganov, lahko sprožijo vsake vrste neredne občutke. Taka neredna povelja mnogokrat sprožijo preveliko proizvodnjo želodčne kisline, ki povzroči pričetek čeri (ulcers) v želodcu. Ali pa povzročijo krč mišic v stenah krvnih žil, zaradi česar nastane previsok krvni pritisk. Živci v takih slučajih niso prizadeti, temveč samo prevajajo obvestila možgan, nekako tako, kot telefonska zveza.
Včasih pa so prizadeti tudi sami živci. Eden izmed vzrokov dolgotrajnega kolcanja, je naprimer, draženje dihalnih živcev. Pasovec (shingles), akutno vnetje kože
v	obliki pasu okoli života, nastane radi draženja in vnetja kožnih živcev.
Zdravniki danes izvrše mnogo operacij na živcih, ki so mojsterska kirurgija. Poškodovani živci lahko omogočijo ohromelost rok ali nog in se dajo samo tako popraviti, da pretrgane živce sešijemo. Pogostokrat so živci, ki jih je treba šivati tanki kot las in zanje je treba še tajnšega šiva. S povečevalnim steklom in pajčevinasto tanko žido izvežbanim zdravnikom večkrat uspe, da tako operacijo uspešno izvrše.
Kadar bo živčevje docela raziskano, tedaj še le bomo bljižje rešitvi ene izmed največjih ugank; kako more ogromna in brezštevilna skupina celic, ki ji pravimo človek, razviti tiste lastnosti, s katerimi se odlikuje človeško bitje.’”
*	* *
“You are as old as you feel,” pravijo Amerikanci. Veliko resnice je v tej krilatici. Saj vsi poznamo ljudi, ki so kljub mladim letom po mislih in nazorih stari, poznamo pa tudi stare ljudi, ki so v visokih letih še vedno ohranili duševno mladost. Prav mnogo namreč odvisi od tega, kako gledamo na svet in na svojo okolico; kakšno razpoloženje ustvarjamo, kakšne lastnosti negujemo. Ali damo prosto pot nerganju in vzdihovanju, ali gledamo na življenje z izrazom dobre volje, v prijaznosti do bljižnjega in v upanju na boljšo bodočnost. Človek, ki je mrk, siten in vase zaprt je suženj samega sebe. Telo takega človeka ima malo odpornosti napram bolezni, medtem ko je telo ravnouvešenega človeka stroj neverjetne trdoživosti in odpornosti. Človeško telo lahko prenese marsikaj, če ima oporo v vedrem duhu, a človek je tudi neverjetno rahel in občutljiv mekanizem, ki začne propadati, ako izgubi vero vase in duhovno ravnotežje.
Potrudimo se obvladati samega sebe, kadar nas prime žalost in nezadovoljnost. Najdimo in gojimo zdrav vpogled v življenje, ki bo koristil nam in vsem, s katerimi pridemo v dotiko.
Dva kaznjenca sta zrla skozi okno svoje ječe:
Eden je videl le blato na cesti,
Drugi pa zvezde na nebu.

Knjiga, THE ROYAL PATH OF LIPE, ženski značaj takole opisuje:
Žena vzgoji moža za življensko potovanje. Od o-troške dobe do konca življenja vzgaja žena moža za voditelja. Vsak možev doprinos ima žensko podlago — ali je mati, ali je žena, ali je ljubica, ki ga vežba za dosego uspehov ter pri tem žrtvuje svojo udobnost, mir srca in mnogokrat tudi zdravje. Žena je malokdaj voditeljica podjetij, a brez njene pomoči se ne zgodi ničesar važnega. — Columbus je odkril Ameriko, žena pa je bila tista, ki mu je uredila potovanje.
Mož piše ženi: — "Ničesar nisem bil, dokler nisem spoznal Tebe, ljuba žena. Od takrat šele mi je vzšlo sonce sreče, ljubezni in zadovoljnosti. Ti si napravila moje življenje vredno človeka. Obdarovala si me z družino, na katero sem silno ponosen. In Ti sama? — Kraljica si mojega srca in mojega doma! Pišem te vrstice z največjim veseljem vsled tega, ker vem, da bodo Tvoje ljube oči brale mojo pisavo ...”

Vsa	slovenska	clevelandska javnost	pozna marljir
vo	Zvezino delavko	in	izvrstno	kuharico,	Mrs. Mary O-
toničar. Menda ni slovenske svatbe, da bi ona ne pripravila kosila. Banketi so njena specialiteta. Na razsta-
vi	peciva, ki so ga meseca marca priredile združene podružnice	države Ohio,	je Mrs.	Otoničar	demonstrirala,
kako napraviti dobre krofe. Danes navajam njeno navodilo za krofe, prihodnjič pride na vrsto potica.
Krofi
5 funtov presejane poke % funta surovega masla
1 pajnt kisle smetane
2 šalčki sladkorja
2	jedilni žlici soli 8 rumenjakov
eno čajno žličko vanilije eno čajno žličko limonovega soka en kvart mleka — morda tudi nekaj več, če je moka suka, ker testo mora biti mehko.
G kosov kvasa, vsak od 7-8 centov.
Postavi kvas z malo mleka in moke. Dobro vtepi rumenjake, da postanejo gosti nakar dodaj smetano in spet dobro mešaj. Dodeni vanilijo in limonov sok. Mešaj! Nato razstopi maslo, ga vlij v vroče mleko, dodaj sladkor ter vtepaj tako dolgo, da se sladkor stopi, nakar deni vse skupaj v moko in zamesi. Testo gneti ali vtepaj da postane prožno in se ne prijemlje prstov. (Testo je treba gnesti ali vtepati vsaj 15 minut.) Vzhaja naj dobro uro. Ko je testo vzhajano, ga na z prtom pogrnjeni in z moko potrošeni mizi raztegni — ne valjati! 7. kupico Izreži krofe ter jih pusti vzhajati kake pol ure, nakar jih v Crisco ali Spry speci. Kolobarček okrog krofov znači, da so rahli.
Naj v zvezi z navodilom za krofe omenim, da so združene podružnice v Clevelandu za časa njih bazarja spekle krofov iz 150 funtov moke, ki so bili vsi en dan razprodani. Še zmajnkalo jih je. Cela vrsta ljudi je še čakala, da bi jih kupila. Cena: dolar ducat.

Svoje trudne oči je zatisnila naša dobra in spoštovana članica Mrs. Frances Gerčman. Veliko je trpela v svoji hudi bolezni, toda vedno je mirno in Begu vdano prenašala svoje hude boležine. Zelo jo bomo pogrešale, saj je bila vedno zelo delavna za našo podr. Bog ji naj obilno poplača vsa njena dobra dela. Naj v miru počiva. Njenim domačim izrekamo globoko sožalje.
Pri pogrebniku Želetu se je našla naša stara zastava. Novo zastovo bodo šle v kratkem naročiti Mary Stražišar in Mrs. Vldovec. Ker je bila stara zastava izgubljena pri podreb-nem zavodu Mrs. Svetek, zato se je Mrs. Svetek odzvala, da bo ona plačala za novo.
21. maja je imel koncert zbor Slovan in ves dobiček je namenjen za dom ostarelih.
Preds. je poročala veselo novico, da se bomo drugo nedeljo v juniju zopet peljale v lepo naravo in sicer na Lapovo farmo, kjer nam bodo Lapova mama pripravili, kakor vedno nadvse dobro kosilo m s seboj bomo lahko vzele tudi naše boljše polovice.
Preds. Tili je tudi zelo presenetila naše 3 mesečne godovalke. Čeprav je bil še mraz, je vendar vsaka go-dovalka prejela krasen pušelje svežih rož, da so bile vse srečne. V bodoče bo seveda lažje, ker bo več rož na razpolago. Pridite na seje, ker odbor se trudi, da jih napravi kar najbolj zanimive in vesele. Ta večer smo tako živahno kramljale, da nam je čas kar prehitro potekel. Slavljenke so tudi prinesle mnogo dobrot, jest-
vine In pijače. Naslednje so darovale v jestvinah:	Antonija Šuštar, Mrs.
Troha, Mrs. Vidovec. Mrs. Stefančič, Stena Grilj, Tili Špehar, Mary Elis.
V	denarju so prispevale sestre: Kas-t.revc, Mukavetz, Stražišar, Rol ih, Hočevar, Vichic, Kušar, Rome. Po listkih je bila prodana potica, ki je prinesla $4. Darovala jo je ses. Stefančič in dobila jo je Stena Grilj. Par poštrov pa je dobila ses. Troha. Vsem darovalkam ln delavkam v kuhinji naj Bog povrne na ljubem zdravju. Pošiljam vsem lepi majniški pozdrav, da bi naša nebeška Mati tudi naprej tako delila dobrote na duši in telesu.
Hvala vsem. Antonija Sustar
Št. 15, Newburgh, Ohio—Seja v aprila je bila dobro obiskana. Delegatinji za konvencijo smo dale več priporočil. Mrs. Louis Černe je darovala $2 v blagajno Poročati moram žalostno novico, da smo izgubile dobro članico Mary Cesar, ki zapušča moža in otroke. Njeni velki družini sožalje. Pokojni pa večno luč.
Bolane so članice:	Lucille	Bosta,
Jennie Tršina, dalje že dolgo so bolane Rozi Blatnik, Mrs. Papež in Rozi Kostelc. Vsem želimo, da jim Bog in Marija naklonita ljubega zdravja.
Vse ste vljudno vabljene na sejo v juniju, da boste slišale kaj smo sklenile na konvenciji, ker potem ne bo sej dva meseca v juliju in augustu.
Nadzornica Mary Stražar je vesela, ker je postala 16-tič stara mati. Mary Meljač je tudi postala 13-tič stara mati in sedaj pa je še postala prastara mati, čeprav še ni tako stara. Čestitke obema. Novorojenim pa obilo zdravja. Vsem slavljenkam rojstnih dni v maju in juniju želimo, da bi jih zdrave in vesele obhajale še mnogo let. Lepo pozdravljene vse članice SŽZ.
Frances Lindich, poročevalka
Št. 20, Joliet, III. — Naše iskrene čestitke mladi učenki, Miss Joyce Goran, katera je odnesla drugo mesto v našem mestu v spelling kontestu. Vsako leto se vrši tak spelling kon-test v Jolietu in okolici katerega so udeležijo študentje vseh Sol, ki so najbolj nadarjeni In teh je več sto. Letos je pa zmagala na drugem mestu Joyce, hčerka Mr. in Mrs. Frank Goran iz Center St. Njena mama Josephine je bila dolgoletna podpreds. pod. 20, nato je bila tajnica Jolietske keg-laške skupine in sedaj je poročevalka te skupine. Pred leti je bila Jo tudi kapitanka zmagovalnih kadetk. Že sedaj kaže, da bo Joyce lepo posnemala mamo, za kar ji damo vse priznanje. Enako čestitamo tudi stari mami Anna Mahkovec in ostalim sorodnikom.
Nesrečno je padla Mary Gaspich, mati naše tajnice Frances in si zlomila hip; sedaj leži že več tednov v bolnišnici in vkljub visoki starosti kar dobro prenaša svojo bolezen. U-
pamo, da se kaj kmalo toliko pozdravi, da bo mogla stopiti na noge in da pride domov, kjer je še vedno opravljala vsa hišna dela.
Več tednov v bolnišnici St. Joseph je tudi Mrs. Frank Skul (Anne) in tudi njej želimo da čim prej pozdravi. Frank Skull je policijski kapitan.
V bolnišnici se nahaja tudi Mrs. Mary Cohil, katera se je morala podvreči kar dvema operacijama. Želim vsem bolnim članicam, da čim prej okrevajo. Mrs. Cohil je dolgo letna tajnica dr. Sv. Genovefe st. 108 KSKJ. Med tem časom se je nahajala v bil-nišnici tudi Mrs Margaret Muha iz Rockdale.
Na čast 40 letnice mašništva našega župnika in duhovnega vodje naše podružnice se je vršila velika slovesnost s procesijo, okoli cerkve, s kosilom za duhovščino, sorodnike in zunajne goste. Popoldne je bil sprejem vseh faranov v veliki dvorani na parku. Zbrala se je duhovščina iz raznih far. Petje v cerkvi in potem v dvorani je povišalo to veliko slovesnost. Naše čestitke g. Monsignorju Butala z željo, da bi še dolgo vrsto let župnikoval med nami.
Zadnji mesec je pa praznoval župnik A. Sinsky, hrvaške fare srebrni jubilej. Farani so se sv. maše udeležili v velikem številu in nato v hrvaški dvorani Matere Božje. Tudi naša podružnica mu čestita z željo da bi dočakal že mnogo let med svojimi žu-pljani. Mnogo hrvaških članic imamo med nami, ki so tudi zelo aktivne pri svoji hrvaški fari.
V maju je bil posvečen v mašnika Rev. Dismas Kalčič, OSB, sin naše čla. Frances in njenega soproga Ru-dolpha. En teden po posvetitvi, dne
4.	jun. bo novomašnik bral svojo prvo mašo v naši farni cerkvi Sv. Jožefa, kjer je hodil v šolo. Naj ga Bog vodi mnogo let v vinogradu Gospodovem.
Iskrene pazdrave vsem članicam, Josephine Erjavec
Št. 21, Cleveland, O,—Prav vesela poročam, da je bila majniška seja in materinska proslava zelo številno o-biskana. Prav vse so se udeležile in tudi prinesle in darovale kar spada k taki proslavi. Naši častni materi, blagajničarki, Josephine Weiss je ses. Cecilija pripela krasen korsač. Vse ji prisrčno čestitamo, saj dela že 24 let v tem uradu, je pridna in varčna. —Tajnica Stella Danculova se vsem lepo zahvali za prijazne karte. Majniška Kraljica naj vas vse blagoslovi, za vse darove, ki ste jih prinesle. To so: Ana Palčič, Ela Prišel, Ana Klun.
Želim veliko sreče in blagoslova ses. Ana Kožek ob priliki slavitve 40 letnice zakonskega življenja. V blagajno so darovale sestre: Ana K. $2, Amalija Šinkovc $2, Fiances Perušek $1. Bolno so:	Ana	Avguštin, Josephine
Struna, Mary Rahne. Bolna sta tudi moža od s Mary Vehar in od preds. Terisa Lah. Vse priporočam v molitev Kraljici Majnika
Frances Kave, poročevalka
Št. 24, La Salle, III.—Naša zadnja seja je bila precej dobro obiskana, toda lahko bi bila se boljše, če bi se članice malo bolj zanimale. Naše seje so vedno prav zanimive in rešujemo tudi več važnih zadev. Same odbornice tudi ne moremo vsega odločati. Članice so sklenile, da naročimo bus za Lemont za Zvezin dan. Upam, da se boste priglasile v lepem številu. Ne odlašajte do zadnjega dneva, ker je zadnji dan težko vse urediti. Pridite v velikem številu na to lepo božjo pot in Bog ve, morda je to romanje zadnje za nas
V	bolnišnici se je nahajala Ana Ravnikar, ki se sedaj zdravi na domu.
V	bolnici je ses. Sharon Vitek. Vsem želimo ljubega zdravja. Globoko sožalje izrekamo ses. Julie Sever, ki je izgubila ljubo mater, katera je bolehala dalje časa. Bog bodi pokojni dober plačnik.
Vse članice vabim na sejo v juniju, ki bo naša zadnja seja pred počitnicami do septembra. Vršila se bo 5. junija, v pondeljek zvečer z pot luck večerjo. Upam, da boste vse prišle. Tiste, ki ste v zaostanku s članarino, prosim, da poravnate. Pozdrav vsem članicam, Angela Strukel, taj.
Št. 29, Forest City (Broundale), Pa.
—Sestra Frances Jereb je bila v bolnišnici 5 dni. Enako želimo hitrega okrevanja Miss Izabel Mrlak. Vse želimo, da ju kmalu zopet videli na sejah, ker sta obe naši dobri članici. Ses. Kocpek se še ni vrnila iz New Yorka ter jo tudi pogrešamo. Vsem članicam po širni Ameriki lepe pozdrave in upam, da bomo vse zadovoljne z uspehom konvencije. Pozdravlja,	Mary	Pristave
Št. 30, Aurora, III.—Že dolgo se nisem oglasila v naši Zarji. Nekoliko me še muči bolezen in bila sem tudi za par tednov pri sinu v Oconomovoc, Wis., kjer se mi prav dopade. Nekega dne sem hodila po okolici in naenkrat zaslišim šumenje vode, čeprav je jezero na obeh straneh ceste, toda sem našla kakih C čevljev globok vo-dopad, kjer se voda preliva iz gornjega jezera, pod cesto v nižje ležeče jezero. Ta vodopad in prijetno šu-mljenje vodesta me v mislih takoj ponesla v domovino, da sem si pri sebi zapela: "In Savica, hči kraljeva, —Pribobni, pesem peva,—Od nje doma rajskega . . .”
Res, slovenska kri ne fall. Beacon News je razpisal nagrade študentom High school o predmetu: Pedestrian Safety Contest. 25 študentov je dobilo nagrade in najboljši spis in največjo nagrado $500 je dobila 17 letna Judith Burkat, hči Joe in Julie Burkat, rojene Mlakar. Judith je torej Slovenka tretje generacije. V jeseni misli iti na univerzo, želi postati učiteljica telovadbe. Čestitke z željo, da bi dosegla svoj cilj v življenju.
Druga vesela novica je, da je bil pri zadnjih volitvah izvoljen za mi-
rovnega sodnika (Justice of peace), Richy Schiller, sin W. in Tina Schiller, rojena Prapernik. Tako je tudi on Slovene tretje generacije. Čestitke Ini vso srečo v uradu.
28. junija bo naša podr. stara 31 let. Res, v članstvu ne moremo napredovati, ker tukaj ni bilo nikoli mnogo Slovencev in kar je članic od vsega početka sva samo še Mrs. Fajfar in jaz žive. Poročevalka sem vseh 31 let. Žal, da nisem hranila dopise od začetka, zdaj jih imam samo zadnjih 17 let, katere mi je skupaj zbral sin Herman in mi naredil lep album, za kar sem mu v resnici hvaležna.
Vsem materam pri Zvezi in vsem, ki berejo Zarjo, prisrčen pozdrav, Frances Kranjc, poročevalka
Št. 32, Euclid, O.—Na majski seji smo imele kar lepo udeležbo, kar je v veselje odboru. Junija in julija ne bo seje, zato ste pa toliko bolj vabljene, da pridete v avgustu na sejo posebno vse tiste, ki ste zaostale s članarino, da poravnate in olajšate skrbi tajnici.
20. maja se je poročil sin Jennie Hiti, Frank z Mary Jane Milavec. Želimo jima srečo v novem stanu.
Erika Janež je 4. maja prestala težko operacijo. Bog ji daj ljubega zdravja, kakor tudi vsem bolnim članicam.
Danes sem prejela majsko izdajo Zarje, katere sem bila prav vesela; veliko zanimivega branja in slik. Vsa čast urednici, ki je imela veliko truda, da jo je tako lepo uredila. (Prisrčna hvala. Ured.)
Dobrodošlico kličemo med nami Mildred Adamič, ki je na novo pristopila v našo Zvezo, kar nas veseli. Po seji smo zopet imele razvedrilo pogostile smo matere in slavljenke rojstnih dni. Zahvala gre darovalkam in sicer po dolarju so dale naslenje: Zo-fie Femec, Frances Perme, Molly Gregorc, Pauline Vrh, Angela Jarm, Ann Tekavec (Mrs. Math), Mary Žele, Mary Erčul, Marv Noda, Barbara Baron in Ann Chinchain. Dobrote so pa prinesle: Katarina Golinar in Frances Perme. Hvala tudi za tax stamps. Želja in voščilo vsem, da bi imele lepo poletje in na svidenje na seji.
Frances Perme, poročevalka
Št. 40, Lorain, O.—Zopet se je kruta smrt oglasila pri naši podr. in nam vzela našo članico Mary Serazin, katero je Bog poklical po dolgi in težki bolezni. Zapušča moža Franka, sina Franka in hčer IJllian ter sestro Antonio Gulich. Članice smo dan pred Pogrebom molile ob njeni krsti rožni venec za pokoj njene duše. Družini izrekamo iskreno sožalje. Pokojnici Pa naj Bog podeli večni mir in pokoj.
1.	maja sta Mr. in Mrs. Joseph Svete obhajala 55 letnico srečnega zakonskega življenja. 8. maja pa sta Mr. In Mrs. Joseph Udovich slavila 50 let-
nico, ali zlato poroko. Obe slavljenke sta naše dobre članice ter jima želimo še mnogo let zdravja in sreče, da bi v krogu svojih družin dočakali še biserno obletnico zakona. Iskrene čestitke obema paroma.
13. maja sta se v naši cerkvi Sv. Cirila in Metoda, poročila Kathleen Evanish in Joseph A. Martin. Nevesta je hčerka čla. Mary Evanish, ki živi sedaj v sončni Cal. Mlademu paru želimo, da bi jima Bog podelil obilo sreče in blagoslova v zakonskem stanu.
Sestre Josephine Eisenhardt, Agnes Mejak in Johanna Debevec so še vedno na bolniški listi. Ttidi sestra Mary Černilec ne prihaja več na seje zaradi rahlega zdravja. Vsem našim bolnim sosestram želimo skorajšnjega zdra-ja.
Ko bo ta dopis zagledal dan v naši ljubljeni Zarji, bo konvencija že za nami. Upamo, da so naše delegatinje sporazumno delovale in mnogo dobrega ukrenile za napredek in procvit S.Ž.Z.
Sedaj ko je vreme lepše, želimo, da bi se več članic udeležilo sej, saj se imamo prav luštno. Torej na svidenje 14. junija.
Mary Pavlovčič, blagajničarka
Št. 41, Cleveland, O.—Na zadnji seji smo še razmotrivale glede konvencije, ki je sedaj že za nami. Upamo, da bomo vse zadovoljne z izidom iste.
Aprila smo se udeležile srebrnega jubileja podr. št. 73, kjer smo bile imenitno postrežene. Naše iskrene čestitke in želje še za nadaljni uspeh podr.
Sosednja podr. št. 47, pa je 27. maja praznovala 30 letnico obstoja. Poleg lepih čestitk tudi njim želimo še mnogo uspešnih obletnic.
Iskreno sožalje izrekamo ses. Mary Prelogar in družini, ob izgubi ljubljenega soproga in očeta Mr. James Prelogar, katerega je po več letni srčni bolezni Bog poklical na kraj miru in pokoja. Naj blagi pokojnik sladko siliva v ameriški zemlji.—Nepričakovano se je preselil v večnost Mr. Frank Stupar, soprog ses. Anne Stupar in oče sester, Anne Erjavec in Eleanore Stupar. Poleg omenjenih zapušča tudi tri sinove in več vnukinj. Vsem žalujočim ostalim izrekamo globoko sožalje. Blagemu pokojniku pa naj bo oliranjem lep spomin.
Po prestani operaciji na nogi, se nahaja na potu okrevanja ses. Mary Lužar, ki ji želimo skorajšnjega zdravja.—Sestra Mary Coprich, katero bolezen že več let zadržuje na domu, nam je preko telefona izročila pozdrave in želje za napredek podr. Lepa hvala ses. Coprich in najboljšega zdravja.
Vse najboljše za rojstni dan v tem mesecu želimo naši ustanoviteljici Mrs. Marie Prisland. Bog vas živi še na mnoga leta.
V	blagajno sta doravali sestri, Frances Kern in Frances Rijavec. Prav lepa hvala. Prisrčna hvala tudi našim gostiteljicam po zadnji seji, ses. M. Markel, M. Debevec in E. Starin. Prav iskrena hvala pa ses. Ančki Rebolj, za vso gostoljubnost ob sestanku šivalnega kluba. Pridite vse na prihodnjo sejo.
Sesterske pozdrave,
Elia Starin, taj.
Št. 47, Garfield Hts., Ohio—OB 30
LETNICI PODRUŽNICE. Pred 5 leti smo lepo obhajale srebrni jubilej naše podr. z mašo in skupnim zajutre-kom in večernim banketom, katerega so se udeležile gl. uradnice ln sedaj že pokojna zaslužna slov. narodna delavca gg Ivan Zorman in Anton Grdina. Naša organizatorica in ustanoviteljica podr. ses Helen Tomažič je ob tej priliki lepo opisala zgodovino podr. ob 25 letnici, zato hočem samo kratko popisati kako delujemo pri podr. Imele smo vsakovrstne prireditve, zabave in plese, da smo podprle ročno blagajno. Ko smo imele šivalni klub smo napravile par posteljnih pregrinjal in enega smo darovale za cerkveni bazar Sv. Lovrenca. Voditeljica tega kluba je bila Carolina Mausar, ki je zelo vešča v ročnih delih.
Priredile smo tudi nekaj iger, katere sta vodile ses. Agnes Zagor in Helen Tomažič. Po drugi vojni, ko je bila ustanovljena Katoliška Liga, smo skupno s clevelandskimi podr. zbrale čedno svoto za uboge brezdomce, ki jih je vojna pognala v svet. Pomagale smo pri cerkvenih, kulturnih in misijonskih ustanovah. Obdarujemo novorojenčke naših sester in neveste. Pošiljamo voščilne karte ob raznih obletnicah in bolnim članicam. Lepo spremimo umrlo članico na njeni zadnji poti; molimo za njo in darujemo za sv. mašo. Zadnja 3 leta delujemo skupno z ohijsklmi podr. za državne prireditve in konvencije. Letos smo poslale eno skupino na kegljaško tekmo. Dosegle so 5 mesto. Vsemu temu načeljuje naša drž. preds. Anitonia Tanko. To so lepi mejniki, ki dvigajo ponos podr. in organizaciji SZZ.
Za 30 letaico smo priredile dne 27. maja večerjo in domačo zabavo v
S.D.D. Dne 17. junija bo res rojstni dan naše podr., zato bomo dne 25. junija slavile ta dogodek s sv. mašo za vse žive in mrtve članice, v cerkvi Sv. Lovrenca ob S:30 in se sako Bogu zahvalile za napredek podr. Če bo le zdravje dopuščalo našemu duh. svetovalcu č.g. Rt. Rev. Msgr. John J. Omanu, bodo oni brali sv. mašo, saj so naš duh. svetovalec vseh 30 let. (Bog jih ohrani še mnogo let. Letos slavijo svoj zlati mašniski jubilej.) Zbrale se bomo na šolskem dvorišču. Vabljene ste vse, da se udeležite polnoštevilno ln da skupno pristopimo k mizi Gospodovi in tako najlepše zaključimo našo 30 letnico. Sedaj imamo
130 članic. V 30 letih jih je umrlo 36 članic, katerim naj Bog da večni mir in pokoj. Še živečih ustanovnih članic je 31.
Bog živi in blagoslovi delo SŽZ in podr. še poznim rodovom. Pozdrav-ljene vse gl. odbornice, članice in sestre naše podr.
Jennie Pugely, tajnica
Št. 55, Girard, Ohio — Na seji v aprilu je bila lepa udeležba in celo dve novi sta bili med nami: Mrs. Barbara Umeck, ki je ponovno pristopila in Mrs. Berušek je prišla s prestopnim listom iz Niles, O. Obema kličemo: Dobrodošle med nami.
Okusni lunch so nam servirale: Kristina Cernick, Anna Babic in Alice Cernick. Hvala za lepo postrežbo. Srečne so bile:	Frances Hribar in
Barbara Umeck. Aprila so praznovale rojstne dneve: Virginia Bestic, Alice Cernick, Christine Cernick, Mary Ros-tan, Mary Gabrovšek, Prances Hribar, Victoria Penksa, Josephine Perušek, Margaret Sipusic, Margaret Swesko in Mary Turk Čestitke vsem.
6.	maja sta se poročila Joan Mary Kristin in David Lee Iwaddle. Nevesta je vnukinja Mary Čekute in žal moram poročati, da je Mary morala v bolnišnico in ji vse želimo, da bi hitro se zdrava vrnila domov. Novo-poročencema pa mnogo sreče in blagoslova v zakonu.
Težko je poročati, kadar izgubiš prijatelja za vedno kajti 1. maja je odšel v večnost dobro poznani Joe Turk, soprog naše dobre čla. Mary. Pokojni je bil v Ameriki od 1921 in bili smo mnogo skupaj:	Turkovi, Anžičkovi,
Čekutovi in Zoretovi,—bili so lepi časi. Joe bo ostal v dobrem spominu vsem, ki so ga poznali, saj je bil tudi dober pevec. Naj počiva v miru. Družini in sorodnikom pa izrekam globoko sožalje. Preminul je tudi Andrej Krvina. Ženi Frances iskreno sožalj« >.
S pozdravom do prihodnje seje,
Emma Zore
Št. 63, Denver, Colo.—Članicam Colo. podružnic naznanjam, da se bo vršila državna konvencija 12. avgusta. Podrobnosti bodo sledile.
Poročam žalostno vest, da smo pri naši podr. izgubile dve članici. 29. marca se je za vedno poslovila od nas ustanoviteljica podr. in večletna odbornica ses. Agnes Krašovic. Pokojna je mnogo dobrega storila za podr. in jo bomo zelo pogrešali na sejah in pri pridobivanju novih članic. Draga Neža, mnogo si prestala v svoji hudi bolezni, katero si voljno prenašala, dokler te ni Bog rešil trpljenja. Bog naj ti podeli večni mir in pokoj in mi se te bomo spominjale v molitvah. Zapušča 2 sinova, brata Jake v Colo. in Martina v Sloveniji, kakor tudi enega vnuka in pra-vnuka.
11.	aprila smo zopet izgubile članico Jennie Brzeinski, ki je bila rojena pred 55 leti v Denverju. Zapušča ža-

JUNIOR PEN PALS
Hi Junior Members,
This is your reporter from the Junior Drill Team. This week all the members were measured for their batons. Cards were given to the members inviting the Mothers to the first Mother’s Day Party. Next week we are going to practice Parade Marching. We have been practicing a few times — but we are not yet perfect. We are going to march with the Little Leaguers as you all know. June
I	is when we march.
Your Reporter, Mary Ann
Hi, Mary Ann! We’re happy to have you with us. Maybe the Pen Pals would like some statistics about you? We’ll start off by telling them you’re Mary Ann Tominc and live at 1011 13. 72 St., Cleveland 3, Ohio.
Now, we’ll look forward to regular news from our Cleve. Jr. Drill Team.
Editor
lujočega soproga, sina, 3 vnuke, očeta John Schutte, sestro Mary Galvez. Žalujočim iskreno sožalje. Pokojna naj počiva v miru božjem.
Drage sestre, naše vrste se krčijo, zato prosim, da malo poagitirajte za nove članice, saj imate hčerke in prijateljice, ki še niso članice, povabite jih, da pristopijo. Za tako malo članarino, ne bo nobena prikrajšana. —Najlepše pozdrave vsem članicam Zveze.	M.	Svigel, tajnica
Št. 64, Kansas City, Kans.—Na aprilski seji, ki je bila dobro obiskana smo oddale kvvilt. ki ga je dobil John Matzon in drugo nagrado je dobila Miss Nastav. Čistega dobička je bilo $265 00 in $50 smo darovale za novo pohištvo naših čest. sester, ker bo nova šola kmalu dograjena. Vsa društva pridno pomagajo. Najlepša hvala vsem. ki so pomagali, posebno še Matt Skradski za stroške tiketov, kakor vsem. ki so jih kupili in prodajali.
Po seji smo proslavile rojstne dneve sester: Agnes Zakrajšek, Frances Petelin, Josephine Toplikar, Julia Pintar, Mary Mootz, Mathilda Orel. Postregle so nam z orehovo potico, kej-kom, krajsnikimi klobasami, ječmen-ovcem in sodo. Zapele smo slavljenkam Happy Birthday in posebno še ses. Mootz in Jankovič za njihove obletnice porok. V maju je slavila 40 poročno obletnico tudi naša bivša zapisnikarica Mr. in Mrs. Leo Anži-ček. Dalje naša tajnica Mr. in Mrs. Anthony Lastolich, svojo 35 letnico zakona. 6. ma.ia sta Mr. in Mrs. John Anžiček ovršavala 50 letnico zakonskega življenja s sv. mašo v krogu svojih 11 otrok 21 vnukov in 2 pravnukov.
Vsem našim slavljencem čestitam
k njihovim obletnicam in kličem vsem na mnoga leta
Veseli nas, da se ses. Julia Pintar zdravje vrača. Če je še katera bolna ji želimo hitrega zdravja.
7. maja je lr> otrok prejelo prvo sv. obhajilo v naši cerkvi Sv. Družine. 1. maja so farna dekleta imele lepo procesijo po cerkvi in Miss Rossalli Golkoski z družicami Miss Dolores Ko-stelec in Miss Mary Ann Polak, ki so vse hčerke naših članic, so kronale Marijo s cvetjem
Najlepši pozdrav celotni dični or-ganzaciji.	Antonia	Kostelec
Št. 88, Johnstown, Pa.—Sedaj smo v najlepšem mesecu maju in krščanske matere smo imele banket zadnjo nedeljo v aprilu, ki ie najlepše uspel.
Vabim sosestre. da bi pridobile kako novo članico, ker sedaj je pripraven čas, ker pozimi bo težko gaziti sneg. Tudi vabim, da bi se udeleževale sej, da ukrenemo kaj koristnega za podr. Posebno tiste, ki dolgujete na ases-mentu, prosim poravnajte čimprej.
Naša dobra članica Mrs. Frances je bolna in čla. jo lahko obiščete na domu. Želimo ji skorajšnjega zdravja.
