Shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre
the earthly life of St. Anne and the history of the Shrine.
Friday morning at 10:00 A. M., our train left for Quebec City, where we had some lunch and a walking tour. Time went by so fast, but we got to see Our Lady’s Cathedral, a Minor Basilica, where the first Mass was chanted in 1G50. The church was bombarded in 1759, burned, enlarged and twice reconstructed, but its walls date partly back to 1647; while the interior design is subsequent to the disastrous fire of 1922. The church is magnificent. Notable are the sanctuary, the high altar and elaborate baldachin. There are still paintings of great value; with some sanctuary lamps dating back to the French regime. In the crypt, lie cardinals and archbishops of Quebec and many other historic men.
Friday afternoon at 2:00 P. M., we left for Trois Rivierers, and the shrine of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, also known as Cap-De-La-Madeleine. There is a three mile drive to the Shrine, and we stayed at Pilgrim House, which is on the grounds and faces St. Mary's Lake, where we were greeted by Father J. Rinfret. He informed us as to the assignments of our rooms in the Pilgrim House, and a short rest before going to the Old Stone Chapel, (but, the ladies were so amazed at the beauty of the grounds and surroundings — that is, Stations, the church, the rosary bridge, the convent and the lake — that no one thought of rest.) Father gave us a short his-

This group of ladies were the first ones to be on record as a Slovenian group, members of Slovenian Women’s Union of America and we are very grateful to them for making the trip a success.	Liz	Zefran,	Director of Women’s Activities
having a fast fresh-up, eating and within the hour after arriving, the ladies went to say the Stations of the Cross, led by Sophie Petrovič. From there, to the Scala Santa, better known as were all ready to go. The first stop was at St. Anne’s Church, where we the Holy Stairs, at the top of which are the Passion Groups, Ecce Homo Pilate, showing to the crowd the Savior of the world, crowned with thorns, hands bound, in a mock royal robe. On the left, was the Chapel of the Holy Face, the pious Veronica receiving the veil of the imprint of Our Lord’s face. On the right, in the Chapel of the Scourging, with Jesus, bound to the pillar, lashed by cruel executioners.
At 7:00 P. M., the bells tolled for the recitation of the Rosary. The Our Father is said in French and the Hail Mary in English. Coming down from the Holy Stairs, there are many people in wheel chairs and lying on cots, all waiting. The Novena for St. Anne is from the 17th of July to the Feast on the 26th of July and many people are there from the first day to see the shrines located from here to Montreal. Mass was at 9:30 P. M., with Communion, and there we saw all the people, with wheel chairs being wheeled into church, some with Doctors and Nurses in attendance. After the services, the Candlelight Procession and the singing is something one will never forget. We were impressed at the Statue of St. Anne at the Shrine. At her feet, evidence of her miraculous power and motherly Goodness. The main Relic, a part of St. Anne’s wrist bone, is located in the Transept Chapel, behind the Statue. The Historical, or the Basilica Wax Museum consists of 20 life-size wax groups, telling of
On July 18, 1962, at 9:30 A. M.,
the group gathered at the Dearborn Station, to leave on the Canadian National Train for the Shrines of Canada. We had a private coach and we were the last ones, so that they could switch us without any of us getting off the train. Every one passed through the custom’s at Port Huron and we had our first ride through the tunnel that is built in the water, and we were on our way to Toronto, arriving at 10:05 P. M., Wednesday evening, where we got off the train for an hour, while they switched our car to another track. Then we were off to Montreal, arriving there at 7:00 P. M., leaving for Quebec City, at 9:10 A. M. and arriving at St. Anne de Beaupre at 2:45 P. M. A total of 29 hours after leaving Chicago, and after traveling 1059 miles, we reached our first Shrine, St. Anne’s.
We began by checking at the motel,

Pictures Tell of S. W. U. Activities
TOP: Lemont Zveza Day, July 15th, was the occasion when the traditional memorial wreath was placed on the grave of the S.W.U. Spiritual Advisor, Rev. Alexander Urankar who died 4 years ago. Supreme Treasurer Josephine Železnikar and Supreme Secetary Albina Novak with a group of members and friends are seen observing the solemn moment.

tory about the Shrine, as follows: A wooden chapel was built in 1659; and the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary established here in 1694. In 1714, a stone chapel was projected and first used in 1720. Today, that chapel is the Shrine of Our Lady of the Cape, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. It is the oldest building of its kind in Canada.
In 1854, a parishioner of Cap-de-la-Madeleine presented to the chapel a Madonna with lowered eyes. It was in 1888, that two priests and a pilgrim testified that the eyes of the Madonna had become animated. From that time, the statue has been considered miraculous and has beckoned pilgrims from many lands. In 1909, the Sanctuary was proclaimed a National Place ol’ Pilgrimage by the Canadian bishops. Just as in the difficult hours
of the past, the world stands in need of the Rosary.
The Holy Sepulchre, 14th and last Station, is an exact replica of the original in Jerusalem, keeping the same size and style. Inside is the chapel of the angel and the beautiful white marble statue of Jesus. There is a perpetual Rosary recited day and night at the Stone Chapel by various groups, who came by busloads.
The Perpetual Adoration Chapel at the right of the lake, houses the Servants of Jesus and Mary, a cloistered convent of nuns, who make it their life work to pray night and day for all the pilgrims. Their chapel atop the slope of the north end of the lake has the Blessed Sacrament exposed in the Monstrance 24 hours a day. Visitors are welcome during the day and early evening.
After having a delicious home-made dinner, we attended Evening Mass,
Rosary, Benediction and Torchlight Procession ( which was so inspiring and touching to our ladies).
Saturday morning, though it rained, we all attended Mass, had breakfast and were on our way to Montreal.
Arriving in Montreal, we went directly to the Windsor Hotel (which overlooked the Basilica of Mary, Queen of the World — which is a reproduction on a smaller scale of St. Peter’s in Rome).
The ladies had free time for shopping or anything else they wanted to do.
Sunday morning, we attended Mass at the Basilica. After Mass, we started on a three hour tour of Montreal, which included Notre Dame Church (300 years old and has carved wooden altars and organ. It can seat 5,000 people). We visited the Lookout point

Rev. Claude Okorn, O.F.M.
A Korean Legend
Christ looked upon His disciples as His true brethren, for He called them such. This principle ought to mark all those who glory in His name, as true Christians. Stretching forth his hands towards his disciples, He said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
Let us not pretend that we do not know there is more than one meaning to the word charity. To many of us, it means nothing more than giving away something we no longer need or can use. But that is not half of it.
The following story should tell us the real meaning of charity.
A legend tells us of a Korean soldier, who died and went to heaven. Coming to the gates of heaven, he said to St. Peter, who is the porter and lets the people in, “Before I enter the gates of heaven, I would like to see hell to appreciate more fully my happiness in heaven.” The request was granted.
Taken to hell, he saw a large and exquisite room, in the center of which was a great table piled with life’s choicest things. But to his horror, the people around the table were anguished and starving. Harsh words came from their grim faces. “Why?” he asked.
The guide explained: “Everyone who comes to hell is given a pair of chopsticks that are five feet long. They must be held at the end. With these, each person is
to secure his food. But you can see, that though they can pick up the food, they cannot get it to their mouths. It always goes past their shoulders.” The soldier was glad to return to heaven.
On entering paradise, to his complete consternation, he found himself in the same room. There was a similar table laden with life’s good things, but here the people were happy. Here was joy and laughter and peace. Here all were healthy and well fed. He stammered to the guide: “How does this happen? The rules must be different, here.”
“Oh, no,” the guide replied. “The rules are the same. The chopsticks are of the same length. They must be held at the end. But you see, these people have learned that if every man feeds his neighbor, all will be abundantly fed.
Love can do marvels. The love of God consists in the disposition to do His will, to obey His commandments, and to follow His counsels. Our aim and object should be to please God in all things. “Blessed is the man, whose heart is in the law of the Lord his God, who meditates on His law day and night; behold, whatever he does, it shall prosper.”
The more completely and entirely we give our whole mind and intention to discover and do this will and law of God the better for us. “Amen, I say to you,” says the Lord, “If you give a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, you shall not lose your reward.”
Give and follow the good example.
BR. NO. 2, CHICAGO DRIZZLES THROUGH LEMONT DAY!
Annual Event draws large crowd to beautiful Shrine of Marija Pomagaj in Lemont, Illinois.
ACTIVITIES
No. 1, Sheboygan, Wis. Now that vacations are over, we will resume our meetings. We hope to have a good attendance at our first fall meeting, September 9th at 2 p. m. We will continue making more plans for our card party, which will be held in the Ss. Cyril and Methodius Hall, September 12th at 7:30 p. m. Please ladies, try and dispose of your card party tickets.
SHEBOYGAN PLANS GROUP TRAVEL
Our branch is chartering a bus to attend the State Convention at Willard, September lGth. Mrs. Anna Mo-dez, will be in charge of transportation. All members interested, please contact her. (Tel. Gl. 2-03C5) Let’s hope we have a good turn-out for this trip.
Our sincerest sympathy is extended to Miss Elsie Braeger, whose mother, a long-time member of our branch, passed away. May her soul rest in peace.
To our sick members, Mrs. Cecilia Casl and Mrs. Theresa Zagocen, God’s speed for a rapid recovery.
Our belated congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Melanz, who celebrated their Golden Anniversary. We hope they enjoy good health and happiness for many years to come.
Our Zveza Day July 15, turned out a little disappointing to many of our visitors because of the inclement weather. Three buses brought over 100 out-of-towners to Lemont. These were from Indianapolis, Ind., West Allis and Milwaukee, Wis. There were numerous cars from such places as St. Louis, Mo. and Oglesby-LaSalle and we had our members travel from as far as Colorado on the west and Cleveland, Ohio on the east.
Because of the rain, Mass was not held at the Grotto outdoors, buc inside in the beautiful Baraga Home chapel. I’m certain that all those present were inspired and thrilled by the beauty of the services and the thoughtful words spoken by the celebrant, Rev. Kalist Langerholtz,O.F.M.
In July, our branch held a picnic which was a success, with the co-operation ot' the weather-man who had spoiled many other plans for that week. It was gratifying to see a good number of Anckas and Christinas present, who were celebrating their names’ day at the picnic. Our thanks and appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Joe
of the Franciscan Monastery there. We hope that Fr. Kalist will write down his thoughts for us for a future issue of Zarja so that all may benefit from their meaning.
The picnic proceeded, rain or no rain and I know the refreshments tasted good to all. The afternoon services took place as usual at the Chapel of the Monastery and the Singing Litanies again provided the most beautiful and impressive time of the day. It brightened just enough in the late afternoon for our departing guests to bid adieu and be off for their homes. Our sincere thanks to the many members and friends who came to Lemont to make it another memorable day.
Corinne Leskovar
Godez, Mr .and Mrs. Louis Borsechnik, Mrs. Christina Rupnilc and Mrs. Molly Zunter, who were in charge of this event. A warm thank you to all members, who donated food and those that came to this momentous occasion.
May God bless you all and hope to see you at the September meeting.
Margaret Fischer, Sec’y.
No. 7, Forest City, Pa. Hello — Members and Friends of Zveza! Congratulations to all newlyweds, and n e w mothers!
Have you tried to get some friends to join and make us stronger? In union there is strength — united W'e stand — divided we fail! Let’s hold on and make it better than ever. Attend meetings — express your ideas — carry on — help one and all; so much could be done. Life is short; it’s later than we think — do what you can today for tomorrow may never come!
Best wishes to all our sick members, cheer up — God is good — be patient!
All those behind in the payment of dues — please check — straighten out will be so much easier for all. If you do not receive Zarja, let us know
—	ok.
God bless you — till we meet.

No. 13, San Francisco, Calif. San
Francisco was surprised with a visit from our Past Supreme President, Mrs. Josephine Livek and her friend Mrs. Mary Prosen. Mrs. Livek arrived on an evening when one of our fraternal organization was conducting a meeting and State Supreme President, Rose Scoff introduced her to many of our sisters, who belong to both organizations and in this way, many ladies were able to meet and talk to Mrs. Livek. Rose drove these ladies a-round San Francisco and showed them the highlights of our fair city. It was most kind of Rose to bring them to my home, as it was such a pleasure to see our dear friend Mrs. Livek, once again. We hope these ladies were impressed enough to come back real soon.
Sisters’ Mary Slanec and Mary Fabian are reported as having a bout with sickness. We pray soon our two Marys will be feeling better. Keep these ladies in your prayers.
Margaret Krsak Kosin is traveling to Mexico again; this lady is ever on the go. Seems every time we hear from Margaret, she is either just going or just returning from one very interesting trip. It would be such a pleasure to have her come to one of our meetings, real soon and tell us of her many travels. Have you noticed the last name? Yes, Margaret is a Mrs. and very happy, we hear. Congratulations, Margaret, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
Happily we report, our dear friend Mary Stariha was well enough to attend our meeting, once again. Since the loss of her wonderful pal and sweetheart, husband Joe, Mary has been ill to suffer such a loss, especially when they always were so close it seemed they were one. It is not hard to understand, why our Mary has such a rough time of it. We hope soon, Mary, that God will make you feel your loss a little less and once again we’ll find you feeling better. It
has been my pleasure to have worked with Mary on many projects and always there was Pa willing and ready to help. I, too, feel a strange emptiness. But as is said, LIFE must go on . . . Dinner Meeting plans are going right along September 30th. Sunday nite. REMEMBER.
Our Tour To Hawaii is in its finalization now on our return we shall give full details with the names of our tour members. We have fallen short of our expected figure, but we realize finances are rather shakey at this time and we hope our tour for 19G2 will be bigger and better. We shall honor a most worthy person and will release the name of our Honored Guest as soon as we get set.
Support the various functions planned for us by our Officers and we can all have fun and realize a profit for our Branch. We have our Junior Costumes Party coming up, OCTOBER 4th. Wear a costume; as a prize will go to the zaniest costume . . . Come on Juniors, this is your night, so make it a big one!
Sophie Sullivan’s grand daughter, Gail Patrick, is now a Mrs., our first Jr. member to have this status! Happy young bride! Long a happy life to you.
Hope our Secretary, Betty Doherty will be up and around smiling and happy after the FLU BUG got her. Miss you, Betty.
God Bless You all and keep you and yours, till we meet.
Fran Chiodo
No. 20, Joliet, III. Our condolences to Mrs. Frances Petrovič, who lost her husband after a short illness. Mr. Joseph Petrovič died in the hospital. He made his home at 704 Summit St., and died at the age of G5 years. He was well-known in our community and also in the entire country for his various activities; he also owned a tavern for many years on Ruby St. and was a member of many fraternal societies.
He is also survived by his daughter, Dorothy Sukley and one son, Joseph, four grandsons and a sister, Mrs. Anna Mihleic, who is also our member. The mother of the widow, Mrs. Frances Horvat, is also our member, as well as the daughter, Dorothy Sukley. So this family is well represented in our branch.
Condolences to Mrs. Mary Hochevar, who lost her step-father, Mr. Joseph Fink from N. Bluff, who passed away at the age of 92 years. He is also survived by his step-son, Joseph Dezelan.
The above named were buried from the parish church to the parish ceme-tary of St. Joseph Church.
At the present time, Mrs. Jennie Rogel( Frank) from N. Broadway is convalescing at St. Joseph Hospital. Also Mrs. Mary Gaspich, mother of our secretary, Frances, is still confined to the hospital. Frank Sumic, husband of our treasurer, Mrs. Jo Sumic, is at
the hospital for several weeks. Mrs. Josephine Kolenc has been removed to the Lincoln Nursing Home. We wish all the sick members and others confined to their homes, a speedy recovery.
Dear members! Our vacation has come to an end and we are here inviting all of you to our first meeting, since May to be held on Sept. 16th at Ferdinand Hall as usual. Do come!
With best wishes to all,
Josephine Erjavec
No. 23, Ely, Minn. Dawn Club report. Our annual outing was held at Mrs. Joseph Pucel’s cabin on Farm Lake. It was a “pot luck”affair — food of every kind and a big variety. We all enjoyed it very much in such a liappy and jolly group of ladies. No one counted calories that day.
Our friendly city of Ely is having tourists from all parts of the country, enjoying our beautiful wilderness with fishing in more than 10,000 lakes within a short distance of one another.
Mrs. Amelia Mainer was recently a patient in the local hospital and also Mary Shikonya. We wish a speedy recovery to all members convalescing.
To the Stubler family, we extend our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of their dear mother.
Anne Rowe, reporter
No. 24, La Salle, Illinois. Vacation time is over. I hope that all members returned home safely. We will be expecting to see you at our meeting on Oct. 7th. Please, take care of your assessment at this meeting, because I do not have time to be collecting at your home.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ajster celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary at St. Roch church on July 15. The church service and the open house at their home was attended by their many relatives and friends. Congratulations and sincere wishes for many more years of good health and happiness!
Our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Hrovat on the loss of her son, Jimmie, who passed away suddenly. Also, to the family of the late Frank Illman, who met his death in an automobile accident. God grant them eternal rest!
Convalescing at the hospital are our members Ann Derganc, Margaret Pla zar, and Mary Uranic. A speedy recovery to them and also to all our members who are on the sick list.
We’ll see you at the meeting on October 7!
Angela Strukel, Sec'y.
No. 42, Maple Hgts., Ohio. The only news that has reached me this month concerns members on the sick list. Recent hospital “shut-ins” were Frances Legan and Theresa Filips. Our best wishes to you both. Mary Fink became a grandmother for the second time, when daughter, Jean, presented
SEPT. 30th! OHIO BAZAAR & BAKING DEMONSTRATION!
No. 25, Cleveland, Ohio. Autumn leaves, September rains, weather cool and school. These are wonderful days that befall us. Looking forward, our S.W.U. are planning a big day, Sept. 30. The combined group of branches are having a bazaar at the St .Vitus Auditorium. We’ll be very happy to have you stop in and visit us and see our special individual creations made by S. W. U. members. They will be available for purchasing. Dinners and sandwiches plus a lot of baked strudels, krofe, flancate and poticas — all this and many prizes. Special recipes printed for your convenience at a, reasonable fee. Our juniors are also participating by performing with some entertainment and are having items for sale from 1 <t and up. A pen-
the clan with a son, Robert Louis. Congratulations!
Many of our members have been vacationing and enjoying a few days reprieve. Hope you had an enjoyable time, ladies—you all deserve it!
A look at the calendar will reveal how quickly the days are flying by
—	summer is now waning. With the coming of September, the children return to school (Oh, joy!). Mommy once again digs out her bowling ball, and all SŽZ members should be looking to our fall projects: the T-V excursion to Channel 5 for the One O’clock Club program and the meeting on October 24th beginning our White Elephant Sale.
Please, ladies, come to the meeting. If there is some particular gripe you have, let us know about it. We are sincerely trying. Won’t you?
Lillian Sadowski
No. 46, St. Louis, Mo. Well, I finally made a Zveza Day in Lemont, 111., July 14, 15. My cousin, Viola l’isoni, also a member of our branch, went along with me. Mary Grabian, also a member who goes every year and her husband, John and daughter, Leona and her husband, Russell Nicosia, and two sons. So, we made at least a showing from St. Louis!
It was too bad the weather was a-gainst us. It rained all day Sunday, nothing could be held on the outside. We got to walk around the beautiful grounds on Saturday, when we arrived.
We met the nicest people from Indianapolis, Ind., who arrived the same day. That is the nicest part of traveling, when you still meet nice people in this world. We certainly enjoyed the company of Mary Lambert, Mary Luzar, Ann Lambert, Sylvester Bayt, Mary Bayt and mother, Antonia Bayt. Sylvester Bayt and Mary Lambert are brother and sister, whose brother Philip was Mayor of Indianapolis. They certainly are nice people. My cousin
ny will buy a surprising plenty. Help the children enjoy this day.
—	SPECIAL —- All Nations Fair will be held at the Hotel Statler-Hilton on Sept. 27, 28, 29 — The Slovenian Womens’ Union of America will be represented; we of Br. no. 25 are displaying arts, crafts and having a nu merous assortment of baked goods to sell. All are welcome. Miss Theresa Peklar, one of our Jr. members, will have her little dancing girls in Slovenian costumes perform, featuring youth and gaiety. Other nationalities will contribute their country’s cultural backgrounds and achievements. It should be a great three days of traditional excitement. Be our guest.
Vickie Faletič
and I had such a nice time with them, as well as Leona and Russel Nicosia. So, till we meet again, we will be looking forward till the next time.
I also, finally got to meet Corinne Leskovar, our Editor and her mother, who got back from Europe the night before. Albina Novak asked if Jo Prebil came because she got to meet relatives of Jo's in Europe, who have been wondering why they have not heard from her. The Lambert’s and Bayt’s asked about Jo also. They visited the Prebil’s, while in St. Louis, while Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Bayt’s daughter was specializing in psychiatric training at St. Vincent’s here in St. Louis for six months.
On Sunday, bus loads came from Indianapolis, Ind, Chicago, Milwaukee and West Allis, Wise. We saw license plates from Ohio, Florida, lots from 111. Some people even came from Colo. —two couples, who come every year. That’s what I thought we could have done this year, that is, get a bus load to come. Now, I find we could make it in one day, going in the morning and coming back at night. We would not have to stay overnight. The highway is good and we made it in 5i/2 hours.
I also want to say I am glad I finally got to meet the Franciscan Sister, who was here in St. Louis collecting towards the building fund of the new Mount Assissi Academy for girls. She took Viola and I all through the new building. It was beautiful! We certainly enjoyed it and her hospitality was overwhelming. We had to have coffee and home made bread made with maize — it tasted wonderful, also Straba. It was just wonderful. The first thing she asked us was about Helen Skoff. Helen’s husband, Tony, took Sister on her many visits, while she was here. She hopes you both come soon to see the new school, Helen and Tony. She said to tell you a big hello from her, as well as all the people she got to meet while she was in St. Louis, especially, the Sisters
from St. Joseph’s Croatian Church, where they stayed. Also to Father Spero, who made her visit possible. We got to meet Sister Olga, also; she was her companion in St. Louis. They too, have beautiful grounds; Grotto of the Blessed Virgin and outside Stations of the Cross. Vi and I sure want to go back next year. So, everybody, think about going and chartering a bus for 1963.
Sister reads Zarja every month; she says that way she can keep up on what’s going on in St. Louis. So Sister, I hope I mentioned everything, everybody.
Ladies, our next meeting will be Sept. 9th at my house, not Labor Day weekend, as I thought. Everybody should be back from vacation by that time.
Marie Thompson, Rec. Sec’y.
No. 50, Cleveland, Ohio. Again our July meeting was well attended. Our girls surely are appreciating being members of branch 50; their smiles to each other at the meetings make each and everyone feel at home. We hope some of our long absent members will try and bring in their smiles to the meetings, too.
We had a general discussion about the big bazaar being held Sept. 30 by the Combined Branches. We have decided on contributing some baked goods, how about it, girls? I hope everybody will do their part, what ever you can; and girls, try your best with those tickets!
Ann Dekleva did a good job opening our meeting, since Rose Želodec was absent due to illness; we all wish Rose a speedy recovery.
Sophie Koplan surely is on the ball; she tries hard to get things going for the bazaar.
Our hostesses were Julia Horvat and Marie Kumse. They gave us a wonderful treat!
Congratulations to Ixiuise Križman, who became grandmother to a darling baby girl.
I want to thank each one of you for your beautiful cards sent to my husband during his illness. He is improving and getting along fine.
God bless you all —
Mary Bostian
No. 52, Kitzville, Minn. Dear Sisters.
I	know that it has been quite some time, since I have written in the Zarja, but due to the change of date that the articles have to be in we have found it hard to meet the deadline. Our meeting was held Aug. 1, 19G2, at the Little Grove for the first time after our vacation. It being early in the month, it gave me a little time to get this in the mail for publication.
We have a number of sick members, namely, sisters Gertie Diancatto, Helen Laurich, Mary Toole, and Frances Baclinik, who were confined to the
Hibbing General Hospital and now are on the recovery list. We hope and pray that God speeds them all on to a rapid recovery.
We wish to take this time out to express our deepest sympathy to the family of sister Mary Wright, who has been laid to rest and also to sister Margaret Jerulle, who lost her dearly beloved husband. We all know what the departure of a dear one means and may God grant comfort to all.
There is little one can say, and little one can do, except to express the heartfelt wish that comfort be granted all. May these souls and all the souls of our departed rest in peace.
Our meeting was a sad one; the empty chair was draped in black and prayers were said for our dearly beloved sister, Mary Wright. She will be missed by all who knew her. Our meeting was then closed with a prayer by our president, sister Josephine Oswald.
The Social of the evening took place at which time the hostesses, sisters Mary Russo, Dorothy Russo, Alberta Russo and Julia Mancuso served a delicious lunch. Cards and games were played and prizes were awarded to sisters Julia Mancuso, Rose Chiodi, Patricia Mancuso, Frances Jerkovich, Ivana Pulsnik and Josephine Oswald; door prize went to sister Alice Bar-rato. This brought a delightful evening to a close.
Please members, come to our next meeting, which is to be held Sept. 5, 19G2, at the Little Grove.
May God bless you all and keep you all in the best of health until we meet again.
Yours truly, Gertrude Kochevar

No. 55, Girard, Ohio. The July meeting was opened with prayer led by the president, Mrs. Theresa Lozier; it was not well attended as it usually is. Most of the members were vacationing. The president thanked all that took part in making our card party a success. Get well cards were sent to Mrs. Mary Cekuta and Mrs. Anna Kalan. We hope they are enjoying good health by now.
After the business meeting, we had a very nice Social hour. A delicious repast was served by Mrs. Nettie Juvančič, chairman, Mrs. Frances Juvančič and Rose Juvančič. It was so nice to have Mrs. Frances Juvančič back on committee, as her old self again, urging each one to eat more and fussing around again, after her serious illness ... It just goes to prove God does answer our prayers. She is her jolly self again!
Prizes were won by Mrs. Margaret Umeck and Mrs. Mary Mehalco. Meeting was closed with a prayer for a speedy recovery to all the sick members. Till next month. —

TIPS
Never buy a hat at the end of a shopping tour, when you are tired out.
Today’s woman leads a busy, varied life, where home, business and travel clothes are necessary. Chicness and practicality should go hand in hand when buying clothes. No woman, rich or poor, can afford impracticality in dress.
Of all the things we wear, our expression is the most important.
The recipe for failure: Equal parts of gloom, fear and conceit.
We should never be ashamed to admit that we are wrong, which is but to say that we are wiser today, than we were yesterday.
Save your money, but also save your self-respect, your honor, your health, your individual independence.
Do not resent growing old; many are denied that privilege.
Don’t be bothered by ingratitude. Jesus cured 10. Only one said: Thank you!

No. 57, Niles, Ohio. Our July meeting was held at the home of Leona Mo-ler, where a very nice group attended. We also had a guest, who is a member of the Aliquippa branch, namely, Mrs. Zakrajšek. She is the sister of Mrs. Theresa Racher, one of our oldest members. Games were played and prizes given to the winners. A lovely lunch was served.
All members are to pay $1.00 in to the treasury in place of the bake sale, which was cancelled.

No. 66, Canon City, Colo. Our sincere sympathy to member Dorothy Hannah, whose father-in-law passed away in June.
Members, contact me for news of sickness, or other items of interest concerning any members!
Our delegate to the Colorado State Convention was Christine Konte, who is living here in Canon City, now. Nine others joined the bus group going to Crested Butte for the convention in July.
It was a wonderful sightseeing trip. We enjoyed every minute of it. Bishop Reed from Oklahoma gave a very
Dear Members,
With this issue, we bring you the travelogues of our members who have spent very interesting and educational vacations. Our Canadian travelers report having a wonderful trip and Le-mont Zveza Day visitors have many fond memories of that day in July. In Colorado and Pennsylvania, the members met for their Sttate Days and Conventions with grand turn-outs. With interest we read of all these events.
Among the discussions at the various meetings of kite, the main topic has been Zarja and the members’ questions about the 25if per year contribution they have been asked to make this year. The Board of Directors, forced to meet the problem of increased printing and postage costs, and desiring to do the best for the membership and yet, trying to keep our publication at the same standard as it has had in the past, decreed that a small contribution of 25if per year from each member would be necessary to help defray the added cost and that the members this way, have an equal share by contributing the same amount.
We must realize that in the past, we have been very fortunate that the cost of printing our publication has been kept down when costs of all kinds have risen around us. The Fathers at the Benedictine Press have seen fit to make this raise in price now because they cannot continue to give us the services any longer at a loss to them. Over and above the cost of paper and labor, the postal regulations for 2nd Class matter have been raised and will continue to rise as is normal in the present economy.
The Directors have further determined that to keep the costs down as much as possible, Zarja will be issued only in the 16 page formate with exceptions in May and December when
inspiring talk at the banquet. The gothic architecture and soenery was beautiful to see.
Canon City was chosen for the next State Convention. Plan new to help make it a success, next year!

twenty ladles of our branch enjoyed a chicken supper at the Spaulding Hotel in Crosby. This marked the celebration of the 25th anniversary of this lodge. Pres. Helen Kovali presented corsages to Mary T. Deblock in re-
a larger size is absolutely necessary to cover the Mother’s Day and Christmas’ material.
Furthermore, since one of the main costs of Zarja, as much as printing and labor, is the cost of paper, a large volume of paper has been purchased at a very good price which will bring down the yearly rate of publishing Zarja still more.
It should be understood that pictures (cuts) and all incidental expenses such as editor’s supplies, stamps, etc., is taken from the Publisher’s Fund which is the money from advertisements and donations. The few times a year when we ask for ads from the branches and businessmen is the only time the Fund is increased and that is the source from which all these incidental expenses are paid.
The Slovenian Women’s Union is not only a burial-benefit organization or a friendly social club; it’s an organization dedicated to the highest ideals of womanhood and particularly, the goals of charity and sisterhood which the Slovenian women who organized branches all over the country years ago thought important. Our Zarja is the voice of these goals and the medium by which we can expand and develope them to suit the branch’s needs. Zarja reaches all member, barring no distance and keeps them informed of all our activities. As loyal members, the 2 cents a month ($0.25 a year) contribution for the continuance of Zarja is a pledge which no member can refuse!
NOTE TO SECRETARIES!
Please note that a complete list of members and correct addresses is to be sent to the Home Office from each branch to be used as a check list for mailing of Zarja. The branches which have not complied with this request are urged to do so at the secretary’s earliest convenience.

Colorado State Convention Held at Crested Butte This Year
Colorado State Day or “Zvezin Dan” was held at Crested Butte, Colo., on Sunday, July 2'2nd. Neighboring branches from Pueblo, Denver and Leadville attended; Kansas and Missouri branches which belong to this group were invited but did not attened.
The delegates met under the auspices of Br. 92, Helen Cobai, president, leading the prayer. The convention was then turned over to State President, Anna Pa-chak, our very dear officer. Helen Cobai was elected as recording secretary for the convention.
First on the agenda was the introduction of delegates who were as follows: Mollie Svigel, Br. No. 63, Denver, Antonia Klune, Br. no. 3. Pueblo, Christine Konte, Br. no. 6G, Canon City, Rose Champeau, Br. no. 78, Leadville and Helen Cobai, Br. no. 92, Crested Butte. Greetings were received fiom S.WU. Founder, Marie Prisland; Pres, of Penna., Mary Tomsic; Pres, of Br. no. 64, Kansas City, Kans. Antonia Kostelec; Sec. of Br. no. 78, Leadville, Mary Vidmar and Sec. of Br. no. 66, Canon City, Cecile Adamic. Mollie Svigel, delegate from Denver, gave a very fine report. They have a reserve in their treasury. In memory of a deceased member, they offer a high mass and send flowers. Their church donations are very generous. They have 189 members. Christine Konte, delegate from Canon City, also gave an interesting report. They are proud of their 80 year old charter member. The sick are remembered with cards and they present flowers to the Mother of the Year. Deceased members receive a mass offering and also, the deceased husband of a member. Generous donations are made to the church and they have a nice savings account. Antonia Klune, delegate from Pueblo, gave a very gratifying report. They have built up a sizeable treasury. They do much for the
church and	also	give a mass offering upon the	death	of
a member.	She	complimented Zarja and	added	that she
would prefer more reading material in place of pictures.
Helen Cobai of Crested Butte gave a brief account of their activities. They have 14 active members of the total of 24 and 2 juniors. The branch treasury is low and there is no way of building it up as work is slack and families keep moving away with new members hard to find. Five charter members remain. The sick are remembered with cards and upon death of a member, a high mass offering is made. The members also prepare the family's dinner on the day of a funeral. Contributions are given to the church for Easter and Christmas. A discussion followed on the 25c per year contribution toward our monthly publication. It was felt that for some branches, the quota will be hard to fill. They are hopeful that the problem will find an easy solution for all. (An explanation on the points of this discussion is found in the Editor’s Column in this issue.) Another discussion was held on the activities of the branches on the western slope and the delegates commented that they would be pleased if it would be possible	that	more attention could be	given	given	by
the Supreme Officers to these functions.	There	being	no
further comments, omissions or corrections, the meeting was closed by Colorado State President, Anna Pachak, who briefly stated her hopes that much activity will be forthcoming from the branches as a result of the interesting meeting. She thanked all the members and delegates for the fine turn-out and especially, Br. no. 92 for an enjoyable day. Br. no. 92 responded by thanking all for attending and they, too, hope that everyone enjoyed tlie State Day as much as they did in preparing for it.	Helen	Čobai, Rec. Sec’y.
a brief meeting, our secretary read the letter she received from Pres. A. Lu-cich of Branch 21 inviting all members to attend the Minnesota State Convention to the S.W.U. to be held at Gilbert on Sept. 9. All members, who plan to go must notify our secretary by Sept. 1. On our sick list, we have Katherine Mrkonich, Evka Perpich, and Ann Gerval. We hope all three are recovering quickly, as we miss them at the meetings! Games were played and a delicious luncheon served by our hostess. We all enjoyed ourselves. Hope you all have a wonderful summer. .Molly Domin
No. 89, Oglesby, III. During the past few months, we have draped the charter for two of our members. The two, who have passed on to their reward are: Mrs. Catherine Groznik and our dearly beloved past vice president, Mrs. Mary Ambrose. To their families, we extend our deepest feeling of sympathy. To Mrs. Antoinette Mu-hicli, whose husband passed away, our condolences.
On the more pleasant side, our meetings haven’t lacked attendance, because of vacations. Mrs. Josephine Livek spent hers in California attending the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. George Mayszak, former residents of Oglesby. Mrs. Mary Mayszak, a former member of Branch 89, and is now active in the Branch in Fontana, California. Our congratulations to both of them.
Mrs. Albina Pioli is leaving to make her home In Hot Springs, Arkansas. She will remain inactive. A farewell gift was presented to her at the last meeting.
A speedy recovery to all our sick members.	Mary	Kernz
No. 92, Crested Butte, Colo. The regular meeting of the Slovenian Women’s Union, branch No. 92, was held at the home of Eva Lubin at Gunnison, Colo., Aug. 5th.
The group motored to Gunnison from Crested Butte. A Thank you to Mary Kapuchion and Margaret and Ann Malenšek for the use of their cars. Thank you, also, to Josephine Somrak and Ruth Saya for driving us.
We had a very delicious dinner at the park, which was prepared and served by three sisters, Rose Cari-catto, Josephine Krizmanich and Eva Lubin. The ladies served halves of chicken, which were stuffed, plus all the trimmings.
Then after our meeting, we played canasta and again enjoyed refreshments of canteloupe and ice cream.
Thank you, ladies; it was all so good and so nice of you to go to all the trouble of preparing so much.
During our meeting, we enjoyed talking about our convention; we all really enjoyed being hostesses to all the ladies and we hope wre can do it again in the near future. We all think our Convention really was a success. I personally wish to say, I am very hap-
py for all the work I have done, because it was really worthwhile. I wish to thank all my sister members for their help and work.
Mrs. Guerrieri and Ruth Saya were guests at this meeting. Come again, ladies!
Frances Guerrieri joined us again, after an absence of several years due to the fact that they moved. Nice to have you back again, Frances.
We are trying to persuade Helen Stajduhar and Frances Stefanic of Pueblo and Kate Sterk of Gunnison to join us. Would bo nice to have you as sister members, once again, ladies.
A thank you to my secret pal for the lovely pajamas and wall plaque, I found in my car after Mass on Sunday.

Antoinette Mozina, reporter
No. 100, Fontana, Calif. Dear Sisters and Friends, God willed, so here I am again with a great deal of cheerful news to report.
First of all, let me tell you about Mr. and Mrs. George Mayszak’s golden wedding anniversary, an occasion that Fontanan’s will long remember. Incidentally, Mrs. Mayszak is the organizer of Branch 100, her primary efforts have made possible, our present day enjoyments. Mary lias been a member of the S.W.U. for 30 years, 25 years in La Salle, 111. and the remainder here in Fontana.
Approximately three hundred friends and relatives responded to the cordial open-house invitation made by the George Mayszak’s. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Meglicli from Oglesby, 111. It is interesting to note that they were best man and bridesmaid to the Mayszak’s, when they married at La Salle, 111. in St. Roch’s Church. Present also, were: Mrs. Louise Terdin from Peru, 111.; Mrs. Mary Prosen, Oglesby, 111.; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Duffy, La Salle, 111., and that very charming personality from Oglesby, Illinois, Mrs. Josephine Livek (past Supreme President).
Branch 100 presented a monetary gift to Mary and her husband, George, to commemorate their golden anniversary.
We certainly did have ourselves a time at. Zveza picnic, which brought out a surprising number of members and friends, including our spiritual advisor, Father Francis Horvath. A thoroughly delicious dinner was served, and why not? — as mentioned before, Slovenians are good cooks!
Mrs. Josephine Livek and Mrs. Mary Prosen attended our picnic dinner and we were very happy to have those ladies in our midst, again.
We are looking forward to another visit from these charming guests next year, the same applies to you, Mary Reich.
Happy birthday, happy anniversary, happy anything — just as long as it is happy!
Lord bless you all -

No. 102, Willard, Wis. — I’m very happy to report that our Slovenian Day Social was a big success, in spite of the fact that it was still haying season and blueberry picking was in full swing. I want to thank all our members for their wonderful cooperation in helping whenever necessary.
Our next big event will be the 4th annual State Convention, which will be held in Willard on Sunday, September 16, 1962. The program of the day has been published in the July Zarja. There is only a slight change, that is the Mass is scheduled for 11:30 A. M. and not at 11 A. M. The half
hour will give those who are coming with special buses a little more time to arrive.
We extend a sincere welcome to all the Wisconsin branches of S.W.U. to attend the forthcoming State Convention at Willard!
Wishing you all a pleasant journey and an enjoyable day!
Mary Staut, Secretary, R. 2
No. 105, Detroit, Mich. — We had no
meeting in July and the August meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Jos. Lindich, to whom we are very grateful. She has a lovely place in Harper Woods. She is a wonderful Hostess and we always look forward to her invitation. Thanks, Ann.
Ann McGee remembered us with a card from her trip. She is touring the western States and will visit the World’s Fair at Seattle. A happy belated birthday, Ann! We also received a card from Mrs. Kathryn Petricli, who visited her daughter in Indiana and her sister in Milwaukee, but the card came from. So. Dakota. Here’s hoping that everyone will have a nice time and a safe return home. Our secretary Kathryn Musich will visit her mother and family at Roxford, Wyoming. Have a good time!
Cooler weather is fast approaching. Fall is a beautiful season—if only it would last longer. — Belated birthday greetings to Gail Simon, who was vacationing in Canada. See you all at the next meeting.

Marie Prisland:
Slovenski pregovor pravi, da gre ljubezen skozi želodec. Skozi želodec gre tudi zdravje in zadovoljno življenje.
Znano je, da hrana gradi nedorastlo telo, ohranjuje dušo in telo zdravo, daje mu energijo, od katere zavisi razpoloženje, zdravje, veselje pa tudi ljubezen.
Ni torej dovolj, da zna gospodinja dobro kuhati, znati mora tudi pripraviti jedilnik, ki vsebuje take vrste hrano, katero rabi telo.
Hrano dobivamo v živilih, ki nam jih nudi rastlinstvo in živali. Redilne snovi se sestojijo iz beljakovin, tolšče, rudninskih snovi in vitaminov. Beljakovine dobimo v mleku, siru, jajcih, sočivju, žitnih preparatih in krompirju. Pomajnkanje beljakovin telo oslabi ter ga napravi dostopnega za razne bolezni. Preveč beljakovin pa prinese sladkorno bolezen, revmatizem in živčne motnje.
Telo dobi tolščo z različno zabelo, smetano in surovim maslom. Je sicer vir toplote, a preveč mastne jedi obtežijo prebavo in debelijo telo.
Rudninske snovi, ki so glavna hrana kostem in mišicam, dobimo v črnem kruhu, raznih žitnih preparatih, mesu, zelenjavi in sadju. Brez teh jedil postane človek slaboten in za delo nezmožen.
Vitamini se nahajajo največ v mleku, zelenjavi in svežem sadju. Vitamini urejujejo življenski proces ter dajejo telesu odpornost in svežost duha.
Iz gornjega je torej razvidno, kako je človeku potrebna raznovrstna hrana. Vsak dan bi na mizi moralo biti poleg mesne hrane, tudi zelenjava in razno sadje, zlasti pa solata. Gospodinja, ki se tega jedilnika drži, bo imela zdravo in veselo družino.

Ker sem ravno pri prehrani, naj podani navodilo za okusno krompirjevo juho in ribjo salato.
Vzemi dva krompirja, kuhana in skozi sito pretlačena.
Eno kanto Cambell grahove juhe (pea soup).
Dovolj vode, v kateri se je kuhal krompir, da dobiš tanko juho.
Temu dodeni prežganje, ki ga napraviš sledeče: Vzemi tri jedilne žlice masla ali crisco, dve jedilni žlici moke, dodaj eno srednje veliko fino zrezano čebulo. Vse skupaj bledo zarumeni ter dodaj juhi, ki naj še par minut vre. Na juho potresi drobno sesekljanega peteršilja in serviraj.
V	postnem času, ali kadar ni časa, da bi pekle ribe, ali kuhale kako drugo jed, je jako prikladna “Salmon” solata, ki se lahko rabi tudi za glavno jed. Napravi se takole:
Eno kanto salmon stresemo v skledo ter meso z vilicami nekoliko razdrobimo. Dodamo eno prav fino zrezano jabolko, eno sesekljano sladko kumarico, ter dva do tri stebelca drobno zrezane zelene. To zmešamo z majonezo, naložimo na krožnik na solatne liste in okrasimo s četrtinkami trdo kuhanih jajc.

Znana Columbia univerza je po svojih zdravnikih na tančno preiskala in primerjala kakih 2000 ameriških otrok z istim številom otrok iz Evrope v starosti od 6 do 19 let. Pri istih telovadnih vajah je ugotovila, da je odpovedalo samo 9 odstotkov evropskih otrok, 70 odstotkov pa ameriških. Glavni razloček med obema je bil v tem, da so evropski otroci bolj utrjeni. Nimajo na razpolago toliko avtomobilov, šolskih busov, dvigal in drugih pripomočkov, ki prosto gibanje telesa onemogočijo.
Evropski otroci hodijo peš. Prosti čas predvsem u-porabijo v prid svoji lastni telesni moči in vzgoji. Naši otroci se vozijo v šolo, k igram, v cerkev, sploh povsod.
Hoja jim je odveč, kar razvitju telesa zelo škodi. Hoja in telovadne vaje so za mladino neizmerne važnosti.
Tudi v poznejši dobi je gibanje našemu telesu neob-hodno potrebno, če hočemo ostati močni in zdravi. Ni dvoma, da je telo, vajeno gibanja, proti bolezni bolj odporno kot telo, ki gimnastike ne pozna. Celo v bolezni je gibanje priporočljivo. Ce oslabelemu organizmu vedno le prizanašamo, ga s tem bolj slabimo kot krepimo. Celo v postelji lahko delamo lahke vaje z glavo, rokami in no gami.	*	#	*
Nekateri ljudje imajo velike in težke odgovornosti, a zmorejo vse, ker jih vrše mirno, preudarno, z veseljem in po gotovem načrtu. — in za njimi se niza nepretrgana veriga zaslug in uspehov. Kdor dela brez načrtov, se zaletuje sem in tja in se svojega dela kmalu naveliča.
Delo je dar božji. Delo razvija in utrjuje duševno in telesno moč, oblikuje srce in utrjuje voljo, blaži strasti, pomaga, da se težki in neljubi spomini hitreje pozabijo. Delo je porok poštene in dostojne bodočnosti. Delo, ki ga opravimo z veseljem, je lahko. Dovršeno delo je zrcalo naše osebnosti in merilo naše bodočnosti.

Naš poklon razsodni in vztrajni zdravnici Frances Kel sey, članici vladnega oddelka za živila in zdravila, ki je vztrajno nasprotovala odobritvi pilul z imenom “Thalidomide.”
Thalidomide je pomirjevalno sredstvo. Najprvo je bilo v prodaji v Nemčiji, nato v Angliji, nakar je prišlo v Ameriko. Brez dovoljenja Odbora za živila in zdravila je firma, ki thalidomide izdeluje, istega poslala 1,200 zdravnikom. Nekateri izmed teh so nosečim ženam, ki spati niso mogle, to zdravilo predpisali. Thalidomid kroglice so napram nespečnosti res učinkovite, a posledice pri nosečih so naravnost grozne. Samo v Nemčiji, kjer so noseče matere vživale to zdravilo, je bilo rojenih 6 tisoč otrok brez nog in rok. Nekaj takih otrok je bilo rojenih tudi že v Združenih državah.
Zdravnica Kelsey, ki prodaje tega zdravila ni dopustila, češ, da ni varno, ker ni dovolj raziskano, je za svojo natančnost bila odlikovana od Kongresa. Predsednik Kennedy ji je podelil najvišje odlikovanje dežele.
Zenski svet je ponosen na svojo vestno članico.

Delavske unije — organizacije z milijon dohodki.
Nedavno je člankar, Victor Riesel, poročal o letni Ji dohodkih desetih največjih unij v Ameriki. Njili dohodki gredo v milijone. Na primer:
Železarska unija (United Steel Workers) je lansko leto imela G5 milijonov dolarjev dohodkov. 57 milijonov od članarine, ostalo od obresti in najemnine od poslopij, ki jih unija lastuje.
Unija Mednarodnih električnih delavcev ima 62 milijonov dolarjev letnih dohodkov. Avtomobilska unija -50 milijonov. Časnikarska unija — 24 milijonov. Oblačilna unija — 21 milijonov. Tesarska unija — 20 milijonov. Unija mašinistov — 18 milijonov. Premogarska unija — 12 milijonov. Jimmie Hoffa-va unija voznikov 11 milijonov. Unija železničarjev — 10 milijonov dohodkov na leto. IC tem dohodkom pa ne spada asesment v pokojninski sklad, ki točasno skupno od vseh unij znaša ogromno vsoto — 50 milijard dolarjev. Unije lastujejo svoja uradna poslopja, imajo lastne banke, apartment hiše, investicije v bondih in delnicah. Vladni delavski department je vse to ocenil na tisoč petsto milijonov dolarjev.
Unije imajo tudi zelo močne šolninske sklade, ki šolajo njih brihtne člane na univerzah kot so Hanvard in Columbia. Letne štipendije znašajo po več tisoč dolarjev.
Primerne gornjim dohodkom so tudi plače predsednikov unij. — Predsednik inženirske unije ima 55 tisoč dolarjev letne plače ter po vrhu še 17 tisoč dolarjev za stroške. Stavbena unija plača svojega predsednika s 55 tisoč dolarji na leto. Predsednik velike avtomobilske linije, Walter Reuter, ima nižjo plačo. Znaša 25 tisoč dolarjev na leto.
Zanimiva bi bila statistika plač in dohodkov unij po ostalem svetu.

Še so dobri ljudje na svetu
Pred kratkim sem v dnevnem časopisju bral naslednjo zgodbo. Neki mož iz bližine Mihvaukeeja se je nahajal na svojem službenem potovanju v Detroitu. Na poti tja je nekemu človeku rešil življenje. Moža, ki ga je rešil, je podsulo.
Pismo, ki je bilo poslano na mihvauški dnevnik, popisuje dogodek takole. Dva brata sta kopala prostor za klet pod njihovo hišo. Predno sta se brata zavedala, kaj se je zgodilo, sta bilo že podsuta. Podrla se je nanju stena hiše.
Mož iz Mihvaukeeja je s svojim avtom tam v bližini čakal, da se spremeni cestna luč. Videl je, da se je podrla stena in slišal je brata klicati na pomoč. Skočil je s svojega avtomobila in začel najprej z rokami odmetavali prst, dokler ni opazil lopate v bližini. Delo je potem nadaljeval z lopato. Delal je zelo hitro. Vsaka minuta je ob takih prilikah dragocena. Odkopal je najprej brata, ki ga je zasulo samo napol, in potem pa še drugega, ki je bil skoraj popolnoma zasut. Vidna je bila samo ena roka.
Ko je izkopal prvega brata, je naročil ljudem, ki so se začeli zbirati v bližini, naj gredo po ognjegasce, da bodo pomagali pri reševanju, sam pa je neumorno nadaljeval z izkopavanjem, ko je odkopal drugega brata, ta ni več dihal. Takoj je začel z umetnim dihanjem in sicer od ust do ust. Kmalu je drugi brat prišel do sape in začel zopet normalno dihati. Vse to se je godilo z velikansko naglico.
Pismo dostavlja, da je rešitelj samo malo očistil svojo obleko, ki jo je pri izkopavanju umazal in rekel: Hvala Rogu, da sem bil tako blizu, da sem lahko pomagal.
Ljudje v bližini so rešitelju hoteli kupiti novo obleko in nove čevlje pa ni hotel o tem nič slišati. Rekel je samo,
če mu že hočejo dati denar, naj ga obrnejo za njegovo najbolj priljubljeno dobrodelnost — St. Jude’s Hospital v Memphis, Tenn.
Sosedje so do sedaj zbrali $150.00 in jih bodo poslali igralcu Danny Thomas, ki je začetnik te bolnice. Bolnica skrbi predvsem za otroke, ki imajo raka v krvi (leukimia).
Predno so ljudje mogli kaj reči, je rešitelj že bil na poti k svojemu avtomobilu. Rekel je še ljudem: Bog vas vse blagoslovi in se odpeljal.
Pismo pravi dalje: Povejte mu, da bomo vsi molili zanj, kakor nas je prosil. Naj ga Bog blagoslovi. Tukaj se nam je vsem priljubil. Vem, da boste tudi vi ponosni nanj.
Ko ga je časnikar tukaj v Mihvaukeeju vprašal, kje se je naučil umetnega dihanja, je rekel, da približno pred devetimi leti. Ta način umetnega dihanja od ust do ust je rešil življenje njegovemu sinu, ki je skoraj utonil.
Pismu je bila dodana tudi vizitka (business card), ki jo rabi v poslovne namene z ljudmi v Detroitu. Na drugi strani vizitke ima natisnjeno sledeče besedilo: Dajte mi denar, ki ga je požrla vojska in oblekel bom vsakega moža, ženo in otroka z obleko, ki jo s ponosom nosijo ljudje kraljevega pokoljenja.
Zidal bom šole v vsaki dolini po celem svetu.
Na vrhu vsakega hriba bom postavil poslopje, ki bo posvečeno evangeliju miru.
Ko so ga vprašali o besedilu, je rekel, da ga je sam sestavil in dal natisniti na drugo stran vizitke. Na vprašanje; zakaj, je rekel: Koliko kart pa dobite, da bi imele natisnjeno šalo.
Taki zgledi kot zgornji, so nam v spodbudo, da ne izgubimo poguma, ko delamo dobro. In taka dobra dela, kjer levica ne ve kaj dela desnica so še veliko več vredna. Po njih delih jih boste spoznali, je Gospodova beseda. Sv. Pavel pa nam naroča: Delajte dobro vsem ljudem. Da bi le bilo več takih zgledov kot je zgornji. Kaj pa mi sami?

St. 1. Sheboygan, Wis. Piknik, ki smo ga imele 29. jul. je bil lep, čeprav nam je nagajalo vreme. Gotovo bi se ga udeležilo veliko več članic, da ni bilo tako mokro in vlažno ozračje. Vseeno pa smo imele lep družabni sestanek. Piknik je bil prirejen samo za članice, vendar se nam je pridružilo tudi lepo število soprogov, otrok in prijateljev. Lepo zahvalo smo dolžne najprej sosetri Kristini Rupnik, ker se je največ potrudila, da se je vse lepo izvedlo. Prav tako se zahvalimo Molly Zuntar, Mary Godez in še prav posebno Mr. Louis Borsečnilc in njegovi soprogi, ki sta nam spekla
Meseca junija 1962. sta slavila 50-letnico zakona vzorna in spoštovana rojaka Joseph in Frances Melanz s slovesno sv. mašo, ki jo je daroval naš župnik Rev. B. J. Wilimek v domači cerkvi sv. Cirila in Metoda. Imeli so družinsko gostijo na vrtu sina in snahe Mr. in Mrs. Jos. Melanz ob veliki udeležbi sorodnikov in prijateljev.
Oče Melanz je prišel v Ameriko 1903. Mati Frances, roj. Govek pa je prišla leta 1912. Poročila sta se v domači cerkvi 17. junija 1912. Poročne obrede je izvršil Rev. J. Cherni.
Rodili so se jima štirje otroci. Živita še Joseph, mlajši in Frances; v otroških letih pa sta umrli hčerki Ste-phani in Josephine. V veliko veselje sta jima vnučka, ki sta tudi na sliki. Sosestra Frances je dolgoletna lojalna članica naše podružnice št. 1. Zadnjih devet let je pri odboru za nadzornico.

Antonia Repič in Frank Matoh občudujeta veliko torto na čast slavljenca,
Mr. & Mrs. Anton Bokal.
St. 14, Euclid, Ohio. Kakor vam je znano, že nismo imele seje dva meseca, zato tudi nimam dosti poročati. Tri naše odbornice so šle na počitnice Prva je naša zapisnikarica sestra Šuster, ki je šla z možem in hčerko uživat krasoto rojstne domovine. Kadar dobimo pismo ali njeno kartico, vedno pozdravlja vse članice S. Ž. Z., posebno pa pri št. 14. Tajnica Pauline Cesar pa z možem in hčerko občuduje prelepo Californio. Blagajničarka Mary Iskra se je podala z možem proti Ca-nadi. Upam, da se vse dobro zabavajo in da se bodo dobro odpočile, kajti predno bo dopis zagledal beli dan, se bodo že vse vrnile, razen sestre Šuster, ki bo ostala še mesec dni. Potem bo pa treba zopet rokav’ce zavihati in začeti z delom. Mnogo dela nas čaka še posebno zato, ker bomo 11. nov. obhajale 35-letnico naše podružnice. Tiketi so že v prodaji in gredo kar dobro izpod rok. Ce katera želi kaj vstopnic, naj pokliče našo preds. KE 10375 in jih bo rade-volje prinesla.
Vsem, ki ste na počitnicah, želim mnogo zabave in srečen povratek, bolnim sestram pa ljubega zdravja. Sprejmite vse prav lepe pozdrave in nasvidenje!	Mary Stražišar, poroč.
St. 15, Newburgh, Ohio. Sporočam žalostno novico, da je umrl mož naše zapisnikarice Mary Filipovič. Njej in družini izrekamo globoko sožalje. Njemu pa naj sveti nebeška luč!
V	društveno blagajno je darovala članica Uršula Ulepič. Prisrčno se ji zahvalimo. Ker je že več tednov bolna, ji želimo, da bi si ji kmalu povrnilo ljubo zdravje.
Danes sem tudi zvedela, da je Ana Jakič v bolnici. Upam, da se bo kmalu zdrava vrnila domov. Tudi več drugih članic je bolnih ,nekaj že dolgo. Vsem želimo, da bi jim ljubi Bog in Marija kmalu podelila zdravje.
Lepo pozdravljam vse članice S.Ž.Z., posebno pa one od št. 15, in jim želim, da bi vse zdrave prišle 12. septembra na sejo.
Frances Lindich, preds.
St. 16, Chicago, III. Naša seja v juliju je bila zelo dobro obiskana, ker je v avgustu nimamo. Lepo prosim, da tudi v septembru pridete v velikem številu, ker imamo vedno kaj novega, da se pogovorimo.
Zelo smo vesele, da je Mrs. Jean Bukvich zopet prevzela delo za nakup božičnih daril za naše malčke, ki komaj čakajo, da bodo zopet videli Miklavža.
Mnogo naših članic je na počitnicah, nekatere so se podale tudi čez “veliko lužo”. Vsem želimo, da se dobro imajo In da se zdrave in srečne vrnejo domov. Torej na veselo svidenje v septembru! Vsaka naj prinese kako novo idejo, ki jo bomo potem razmotrivale na seji, saj več glav, več ve.
Pozdrav celokupnemu članstvu!
Katie
St. 10. Cleveland, Ohio. Nimam dosti poročati, ker že nekaj mesecev nismo imele seje in ne vem, kaj se godi pri naši podružnici. Ker sem pa že zadnji mesec zamudila, da nisem nič napisala, moram sedaj vsaj nekaj poročati, da ne bom zgubila službe. Nekaj članic me je zadnjikrat spraševalo, kje je moj dopis. Ker ima vsak delavec poleti počitnice, sem si jih tudi jaz vzela en mesec, sedaj bom pa bolj pridna.
Naša članica Josephine Brushic je prestala težko operacijo, vendar se sedaj zdravi že doma. Vse članice podr. 10, draga Joe, ti želimo, da bi se prav dobro pozdravila, da nam boš zopet kdaj skuhala tako dobro polento in suljaž kot si nam že nekoč! Bog te živi!
Naše sožalje J. Zernic zaradi izgube ljubega soproga, ki je tako nenadoma umrl. Ne žaluj preveč, draga sestra, saj sveti križ nam govori, da se vidimo nad zvezdami!

Drug pa je bil Mr. Frank Matoh, soprog naše članice Mary Matoh. Zelo lepo smo se imele, ko smo se skupaj zbrale članice, da počastimo naša slavljenca. Kar poglejte ju, kako sta nasmejana, ko režeta poročni cake, ki sta ga napravili članica J. Batich in njena prijateljica M. Matoh.

Josephine Erjavec
St. 21, Cleveland, Ohio. Poročam veselo novico. Poročil se je najmlajši sin naše sestre Frances Cimperman, John. Vse sestre Slovenske ženske zveze vam želimo veliko sreče, ljubega zdravja in božjega blagoslova v zakonskem stanu! Vendar je sestro Frances Cimperman doletela tudi nesreča. Po telefonu so ji sporočili, da je nevarno zbolela njena hčerka Carol in so jo morali hitro peljati v bolni co. Tako vidite, sestre, da za veseljem pride žalost.

DRŽAVNA KONVENCIJA V COLORADI
4. državna konvencija se je vršila 22. julija pri odlični podružnici št. 92. v Crested Butte, Colorado. Dopoldne ob 11. uri se je brala sv. maša v novi cerkvi Kraljice vseh svetnikov. Udeležilo se je je veliko število članic in prijteljev. Konvencija se je pričela takoj po sv. maši. Podružnico št. 3, je zastopala delegatka Antonija Klun; podruž. št. 62. Denver, delegatka Molly Svigel; podruž. št. 66. Canon City, Christine Konte, podruž. št. 78. Leadville, Rose Champou; podruž. št. 92. Crested Butte, Helen Cobai. Delegatke so podale zanimiva poročila svojih podružnic. Razmotrivalo se je za splošni napredek podružnic in Zveze. Veste, drage sosestre naše edine SŽZ, državne konvencije niso za zabavo, pač pa so nujno potrebne, da pridemo skupaj in se pogovorimo o napredku in uspehu naše Zveze.
Slavnostni banket so pripravile kuharice podr. št. 92. pod vodstvom nad vse sposobne predsednice Helen Cobai, ki je imela izvrstne pomočnice. Stoloravnateljica je bila Miss Betty Špehar, ki je vse lepo pozdravila. (Betty je profesorica na Western State College, Gunnison, Colo.) Predstavila je prevzvišenega škofa Victor Reed iz Oklahoma, mojo malenkost in John F. Starr, glavni odbornik K.S.K.J. Vsi smo čestitali in želeli mnogo uspehov državni konvenciji v vseh ozrih. Tudi domači župnik in duhovni vodja podružnice je imel vzpodbudni govor. Pozdrave in čestitke so poslali: naša častna predsednica Marie Prisland, ona
nas ne pozabi, zato smo ji posebno hvaležne; župnik Leopold Mihelich iz Denver, Colorade, Mary Tomšič, predsednica države Penna.; Antonija Kostelz, št. 64.; Barbara Kramer, San Francisco, California; Christine Conte, št. 66. in Mary Vidmar, št. 78.
Prihodnja državna konvencija bo v Canon City, Colo. Želimo, da bi bila prihodnja konvencija prav tako uspešna, kot je bila letošnja.
Topla zahvala vsem skupaj, drage sosestre, prav posebno pa predsednici Helen Cobai, ki je imela največ dela in skrbi, da je bilo vse lepo in urejeno. Mladim dekletom, ki so nas zabavale s petjem in godbo med banketom, prisrčna hvala. Lepo je videti mladino, ki se zanima za našo Zvezo. Rada bi imenovala vsako posebej, ki je karkoli prispevala za uspeh konvencije, vendar mi je to nemogoče. Podružnica št. 92. je sicer majhna po številu, ima pa članice z velikodušnim srcem, ki so se požrtvovalno odzvale in tako pomagale, da je bil uspeh nepričakovano velik. Thank you, dear members of branch No. 92! We had a wonderful time!
Naša podružnica št. 3. iz Pueble je bila dobro zastopana, saj nas je bilo dva velika busa. Vsem članicam in prijateljem najlepše priznanje za lepo udeležbo. Bog daj, da bi se prihodnje leto zopet skupaj zbrali zdravi in veseli.
Anna Pachak, drž. preds. za Colo.
nice priporočam v molitev. Marija — Zdravje bolnikov — prosi zanje! Vsem tistim, ki godujejo, želim, da bi dočakale mnogo zdravih in veselih dni. Upam, da se vidimo zdrave in vesele drugi mesec na seji. Zbogom!
Frances Kave, poroč.
St. 24, La Salle, III. Sedaj so počitnice minile. Upam, da so se vse naše članice vrnile zdrave domov in želim, da se vse udeležite naše seje, ki se bo vršila 7. oktobra. Vse tiste članice, ki še niso poravnale članarine, prosim, da to store čimprej, ker ne bi rada pobirala asesmenta po hišah; blagajna pa je že izčrpana. Ce pridete na sejo in poravnate asesment, mi olajšate veliko skrbi.
Naša članica Trisa Ajstar in njen soprog Joe sta 15. julija slavila 50-letnico zakonskega življenja. Obrede so opravili v cerkvi sv. Roka. Sv. maši je prisostvovala vsa njihova družina, sorodniki in prijatelji. Popoldne so imeli “open house”, kjer so imeli zelo lepo udeležbo. Zlato-poročenca i-mata štiri hčere in enega sina. Naša podružnica želi obema še mnogo srečnih let in da bi jima ljubi Bog naklonil zdravja.
Sožalje izrekamo sestri Karolini Hrovat zaradi izgube njenega sina Jimmie-ja Horvata, ki je nepričakovano preminul. Pokojniku želimo večni mir in pokoj! V avtomobilski nesreči je izgubil življenje Frank Illman. Njegovi soprogi in vsem sorodnikom naše iskreno sožalje. Naj mu sveti večna luč!
V	bolnici se nahajajo Ana Derganc, Margareta Plazar in Mary Uranič. Tem in vsem bolnim članicam želimo skorajšnje okrevanje.
Nasvidenje na prihodnji seji!

Vabilo na bazar clevelandskih podružnic
Članice vseh oliijskih podružnic, prijatelji in občinstvo ste vljudno vabljeni, da posetite naš bazar in prodajo peciva 30. septembra v dvorani sv. Vida na Glass Ave. Pričetek bo ob 9. uri zjutraj.

Žnidaršič. Obe njegovi sestri sta naši dobri članici. Father Grdina, iz srca vam želimo, da bi dočakali srebrno in zlato daritev!

	Thank you all!	Albina	Novak, Sec’y		
V	juliju pa je bila zlata maša spoštovanega monsignorja Matije Škerbca. Sv. maše se je udeležilo veliko duhovnikov in mnogo ljudstva. Po sv. maši je bil slavnostni banket v novi dvorani. Prisrčne čestitke, g. monsignor, da bi dočakali še biserno sv. mašo!
Mr. in Mrs. Verhovnik sta praznovala zlato poroko v cerkvi sv. Vida ob veliki udeležbi prijateljev in znacev.
Praznovanje so nadaljevali na svojem domu v krogu svoje družine. Mrs. Verhovnik je naša dobra članica. Mr. in Mrs. Verhovnik, Bog vaju živi še mnogo zadovoljnih let!
Mrs. Julija Slogar, naša dobro poznana in pridna delavka, se še vedno nahaja na bolniški listi. Mrs. Slogar, vam in vsem, ki ste bolne, želimo ljubega zdravja in se vas vedno spo-
minjamo. Da bi vse bolne članice kmalu okrevale!
Vse sestre, ki imate zaostalo članarino, prosim, da pošljete asesment, da ne bo tajnica v skrbeh. Končno vabim vse članice, da se v velikem številu udeležite seje, ker imamo več važnih reči za rešiti.
Pozdravljene vse skupaj!
Mary Otoničar
Slavljenca se zahvaljujeta.
Najprej se zahvalim vsem članicam, ki ste meni in mojemu možu pripravile veselo presenečenje. Prisrčna hvala tudi za obilna darila, ki sva jih dobila ob 50-letnici najine poroke, katero sva praznovala 28. julija 1962. Moj mož je prišel v Ameriko leta 1907 iz vasi Sava pri Litiji, jaz, Marija rojena Ben.ce, pa leta 1912 iz vasi Rožno pri Riajhenburgu. Poročila sva se v slovaSki cerkvi St. Agues, Philadelphia, Pa. V družini je bilo 7 otrok, 5 deklet in 2 fanta. Živijo še 3 hčere in en sin. Dve hčerki sta umrli, sin Karl pa je izgubil življenje v drugi svetovni vojni v Nemčiji. Imava 7 vnukov in vnukinj ter 9 pravnukov in pravnukinj. Še enkrat iskrena hvala vsem članicam podr. št. 46. Bog naj vam povrne!	Mary	Lousha,	št. 46, St. Louis, Mo.
St. 32, Euclid, Ohio. Kmalu bo poletje za nami in upam, da se bodo vse naše izletnice zdrave vrnile na svoje domove. Tudi pri naši podr. smo imele počitnice, saj nismo imele seje v juliju in ne v avgustu. Lepo pa ste vse povabljene, da pridete na prihodnjo sejo, saj je tako prijetno, če pridemo skupaj in malo pokramljamo.
Naš duhovni vodja Father Anthony Bombach je prestal v juniju težko o-peracijo. Upamo in želimo, da bi jim Bog dal ljubega zdravja, da bi še dolgo delovali v prid faranov!
Tudi naša tajnica Lillian Vehovec je v juniju prestala težko operacijo. Operirana je bila še Mary Baraga, na bolniški listi pa sta tudi Jennie Strum-bly in Katie Turk. Da bi Bog dal tem in vsem našim bolnim članicam ljubega zdravja!
V	juliju se je oglasila smrt pri Ani Požar in ji vzela moža Franka. Naše iskreno sožalje preostalim, njemu pa hodi Bog milostljiv in naj v miru počiva!
Kot ste mogoče že brale, se je za “Zarjo” podražil papir in poštnina. Da bi pokrili stroške, prosimo vsako članico za 25 centov na leto v ta namen in upamo, da bo to vsaka rada dala.
30. sept. bomo imele vse ohijske podružnice prireditev v dvorani pri sv. Vidu, na katero ste vse članice že sedaj lepo povabljene. Na razpolago so knjižice in se dobe pri uradnicah. Ker nimamo pri naši podružnici letos nobene prireditve, lepo prosimo, da bi vsaka vzela eno knjižico, da bo tudi naša podružnica deležna teh dohodkov. Vse one članice, ki imajo zaostalo članarino opomnim, da jo čimprej plačajo in tako olajšajo skrbi tajnici.
Pozdrav in nasvidenje na seji!
Frances Perme, poroč.
St. 41, Cleveland, O. Izlet v Geneva, Ohio, je bil zopet nad vse prijeten. Prisrčna hvala Mrs. Rose Lapp za imenitno postrežbo.
Nepričakovano se je preselila v večnost naša družabna članica Ana Gali-nac. Žalujoči družini izrekamo globoko sožalje. Pokojnica pa naj počiva v miru in večna luč naj ji sveti! Iskreno sožalje izrekamo sestri Frances Zak
in družini ob nenadni izgubi ljubljenega soproga in očeta Mr. Rudolph Zak. Globoko sožalje tudi sestri Mary Tomažič in družini zaradi izgube dragega soproga in očeta Mr. Anton Tomažič. Naj blaga pokojnika sladko sni vata v naročju matere zemlje!
Srečno sta prestali operaciji sestri Lucille Romih in Julia Metelko. Obema želimo najboljšega zdravja v najkrajšem času!
Kartico s pozdravi iz domovine smo dobile od ses. Mary Bencar; lepa hvala Mary in zdrav povratek. Na večmesečni obisk domovine se je podala ses. Frances Hiti, želimo ji lepo razvedrilo in srečen povratek.
V	blagajno sta darovali sestri Mary Lužar in Jennie Cekada, prav lepa hvala obema!
Vse članice ste prijazno vabljene, da posetite bazar skupnih podružnic 30. septembra v dvorani sv. Vida na Glass Ave. Tam si boste lahko ogledale in tudi kupile ročna dela vseh vrst. V prodaji bo tudi vsakovrstno pecivo in razna okrepčila. Ob tem času bodo tudi oddana darila na srečne listke, ki so sedaj v prodaji. Oddan bo tedaj tudi krasen afgan naše podružnice in še dvoje lepih daril. Pridite vse in pripeljite tudi vaše domače in prijatelje.
Vas vse sestrsko pozdravlja,
Ella Starin, taj.
St. 64, Kansas City, Kansas. 25. julija je mirno za večno v Gospodu zaspala naša dobra ustanovna članica Mrs. Mary Horzen. Rojena je bila v vasi Ihan pri Domžalah. V Ameriko in sicer v Chicago je prišla leta 1904, kjer se je tudi poročila in živela dolgo let. Pokojnica se je zelo zanimala za Zvezo in je bila naša prva zapisnikarica in poročevalka. Dokler ji je zdravje dopuščalo, je bila tudi izvrstna pevka. Za častno mater je bila izbrana 1. 1960. Zapušča 3 hčere; 3 sinovi in ena hčerka pa so ji umrli. Draga so-sestra, počivaj v miru božjem, me pa se te bomo vedno spominjale v naših molitvah. Hčerkam naše iskreno sožalje nad izgubo ljube mamice!
Članica Mary Moatz se je morala podati na težko operacijo. Vesele smo, da se ji obrača na bolje, kar ji vse iz srca želimo.
Umrla je tudi Mrs. Tillie Dolinar, ki je hčerka naše družabne članice Mrs. Josephine Zupan. Poleg matere zapušča hčerko, moža in 4 sestre. Vsem skupaj naše iskreno sožalje!
Naše čestitke Miss Therese Horvat, ki je v Kansasu bila na prvem mestu za “spelling”. Potem je šla v Washington, tam pa je dosegla 13-to mesto. Njena stara mamica, Frances Pe-trich, je naša članica.
Čestitke tudi tebi, Corinne, ki se tako zelo zanimaš za slovensko narodnost v Ameriki. Naša hčerka Angela iz Bellwood, 111., nam je poslala izrezek iz časopisa Chicago Tribune, kjer si priobčila lep opis slovenskih šeg, plesov in pesmi ob priliki, ko so Slovenci imeli Slovenski večer na International Trade Fair.
Sestrske pozdrave vsem članicam!
Antonia Kostelec
št. 71, Strabane, Pa. — Kakor pri mnogih drugih podružnicah, tudi pri nas prekinemo seje v poletnih mesecih, ker gremo rade v prosto naravo. Vljudno vabim vse članice, da se u-deležite v velikem številu seje 12, sept. Prosim, pripeljite na sejo tudi kaj novih članic, da bo kaj napredka.
29. julija je po kratki bolezni umrl v bolnici soprog naše dolgoletne članice Anne Sketel. Zapušča žalujočo soprogo, dva oženjena sinova, hčerko in več sorodnikov. Naj v miru počiva! Družini izrekamo naše sožalje.
Že dolgo so bolne naše članice: Mary Mavrič, Frances Batista, Anna O-ltleson in Anna Potočar. Vsem bolnim članicam želimo ljubega zdravja in da pridejo kmalu med nas.
Pri nas zelo primanjkuje dežja. Zaradi suše so se cvetice na vrtovih posušile. Prav nič ne pomaga, čeprav zalivamo.
Upani, da so se vse naše članice vrnile s počitnic zdrave in zadovoljne, posebno še one, ki ste obiskale staro domovino. Gotovo ste užile mnogo veselja v krogu vaših prijateljev.
Vesel rojstni dan želim vsem članicam, ki ga bodo slavile ta mesec Lep pozdrav gl. odbornicam in članicam in nasvidenje na seji 12. sept.
Mary Tomsic, pred.

Albina Novak, Secretary
St. 100, Fontana, Calif. Čeprav imamo počitnice, vam želim sporočiti, da smo še žive in da se imamo več ali manj dobro. Ker je precej vroče, vse hiti v naravo.
Poročati imam nekaj posebnega. Naša ustanoviteljica Mrs. Majzak in njen soprog sta 8. julija praznovala 50 letnico zakonskega življenja, vendar oba še dobro izgledata. Imela sta “open house’ v njunem lepem domu, kjer je velik “patio”, ki je pripraven prostor za party. Mrs. Majzak je veliko dobrega storila za našo Zvezo, za kar smo ji hvaležne. Naj ju Bog živi še mnogo let v zdravju in sreči!
15. julija smo imele piknik v K.S.K. J. dvorani. Vsaki, ki ga je zamudila, je lahko žal, saj je bilo dovolj zabave in mnogo za piti in jesti. Naša zahvala vsem kuharicam, ki pa jih ne navajam po imenu, ker se bojim, da bi katero izpustila.
V avgustu sta Mr. in Mrs. Zdravje praznovala 25 letnico poroke. Več o tem drugič. Naše čestitke Mrs. Zdravje, ki je hči Mrs. Železnikar. Oho sta naši dobri članici.
Imamo dve bolni članici: Mary Vidergar in Anna Petrich. Ce ju ne morete obiskati, se vam priporočata v molitev.
Ako katera članica še dolguje članarino, naj jo prinese ali pošlje tajnici, kor ona težko zaklada sama. Naša prihodnja seja bo drugi četrtek v septembru.
God bless you all!
Christine Filips, poroč.

Mary Dicke:
GIRL SCOUTS’ INTERNATIONAL ROUNDUP
(Mary Dicke, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Robert J. Dicke, Madison, Wis., member of branch No. 1, Sheboygan, was selected as one of 16 girl scouts to represent the Blackhawk Council at the Senior Roundup in Vermont this summer. The CAPITAL TIMES, Madison, asked Mary to be their reporter on the Roundup. We very much appreciate the article she has written for our ZARJA. Mary is the granddaughter of Mrs. Marie Prisland. — Mary is now 15 years old; this photo was taken two years ago—her sweet dimpled face is still the same!
Editor,)
Madison, Wis. — Rome was not built in one day, but the sixth largest city in Vermont was built in two!
—	July 18 and 19 brought 10,000 gill scouts and leaders, pouring out of trains and buses to attend the Senior Roundup in Button Bay National Park, Vermont. During these days a city of multi-colored tents had sprung up before the mountain encircled waters of Lake Champlain. Smoke curled to the sky from the red-hot charcoal fires, and voices rang all over in greetings, songs, and excitement. There were 15 nationalities represented at this International Roundup.
The 16 girls in our party from the Blackhawk Girl Scout Council, selected last September from about 50 areas, had been preparing themselves and their patrols all year long for this event.
We traveled to Chicago on the morning of July 18th by train, accompanied by our leaders. At Chicago, we boarded a special chartered train, consisting of 17 cars full of girls, taking us through Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Montreal in Canada, and finally to Essex Junction, Vermont, where we were met by enthusiastic greeters.
Anticipation and excitement are the key words to describe the scene as many faces grinned from ear to ear and eyes lit up with the flame of friendship.
Reveille sounds, sleeping bags open, and the breakfast fire bursting into flame, marked the beginning of a Roundup day. Ten thousand girls have assembled from places all over the world to share with each other the heritage of their lands.
As the 109 flags are raised in the Avenue of Flags, hands stop their chores to salute the colors of foreign soil and home. The bright Vermont sun beats down upon the golden fields of the Roundup camp site, and the day’s activities begin.
The demonstrations each patrol presented were of great enjoyment. They displayed some aspects, or interests of their home state. Nature hikes, swimming, art studies, photography, discussion forums, brought the Roundup day to supper.
We celebrated the Girl Scouts’ 50th anniversary complete with cake, candles, balloons, and singing. Mrs. George Van Trapp of the Trapp family singers highlighted the singing celebration by being our guest that night.
As excitement rose, so did 500-multi-colored balloons carrying with them the birthday wish to all Girl Scouts. Fifty-one birthday candles, including one to grow on, were lit on the threetiered cake. As the candles w-ere put out, more than 1,000 sparklers lit the arena and the party came to a close, but its message will last forever.
The girls were "swapping” little symbols from their home. Examples would be tiny pieces of gold from Alaska, samples of their regions’ geology interests, cotton from Texas, sun bonnets from Pennsylvania, small samples of cheese from Wisconsin, dolls from Japan, and so on. It’s a good way to meet people and to learn of other places.
As the Roundup days came to a close, we held our last big event in the arena with all the 10,000 present. It was our goodbye ceremony, but the memories of this magnificent assemblage will be with us always.
Juvenile Director’s Message
Dear Juniors —
Vacation is over! Now all refreshed — ready for studies — some to grade school, others to high school and college!
Hope you enjoyed yourselves and have a lot of pleasant memories.
Wouldn’t you like to tell others — how you spent the summer? You can — it will be published on Junior page; the editor will be only too glad to do so.
Hope one and all will do their very best — now back at school — you’ll never be sorry for trying your best. Send your stories to me — or your Let’s see how many will respond to this invitation.
God bless you and keep you —
Christine
ST. ANN DE’BEAUPRE VISITED BY PILGR IMAGERS
(Cont’d from Cover page) on top of Mount Royal, which overlooks the entire city of Montreal. We stopped at the Wax Museum to view the many scenes which were so lifelike, among them were historic scenes of Canada, religious and patriotic scenes.
Our last stop was St. Joseph’s Oratory, the glory of St. Joseph, the first patron Saint of Canada, built by Brother Andre. The Oratory is still unfinished, but the grounds include the open air Altar, the Carillon (which has 56 bell chimes), the Stations of the Cross, the Grotto and the Fountain and the original Chapel, which contains Brother Andre's room.
The Oratory has a chapel that consists of 10,000 vigil lights, plaques of St. Joseph’s Litany, also, tokens of claims of cures such as braces, crutches, etc., Brother Andre’s tomb, St. Joseph’s oil and the crypt church, the museum of Brother Andre.
After the tour, we stopped at the Hotel to freshen up, got our bags ready and left for the station.
At 3:30 P. M., we left Montreal, homeward bound, arriving safely back in Chicago on Monday morning, after a most memorable and never forgotten trip, tired and weary pilgrims.
