VOL. XXV — NO. 7
ZVEZIN DAN NA AMERIŠKIH BREZJAH
ROMANJE PRI MARIJI POMAGAJ V NEDELJO, 19. JULIJA 1953
Letos bo imela naša Zveza svoj dvanajsti letni ZVEZIN DAN pri Mariji Pomagaj na ameriških Brezjah v nedeljo, 19. julija 1953. Vsako leto je udeležba večja in tudi lepši užitek za vse, ki pridejo od blizu in daleč. Lahko bi napisali mnogo zanimivih dopisov o letnih uspehih tega dne, ker toliko dobrih ljudi ne pride skupaj na nobeni javni prireditvi, kot jih pride vsako leto na Zve-zin dan v Lemont, Illinois. Upati je, da bo letos še večja udeležba, ker ljudje radi potujejo in tudi potovalna sredstva so na razpolago v večjem obsegu kot so bila v letih med vojsko. Zato odločite še danes, da letos ne boste zamudili lepe priložnosti, srečati se s svojimi sosestrami in prijatelji na ameriških Brezjah v Lemontu.
Zbiranje za procesijo se bo pričelo ob pol enajstih dopoldne. Sveta maša pri groti Lurške Gospe bo pa ob enajstih. Po sveti maši bo servirano kosilo v Baragovem domu in pri častitih sestrah. Vsakovrstna okusna okrepčila se bo tudi dobilo pri paviljonu, kakor tudi hladna pijača. Vse popoldne bo prosta zabava. Pete litanije in blagoslov bo pa v cerkvi Marije Pomagaj popoldne ob dveh.
SPOMENIK SLOVENSKE ŽENSKE ZVEZE
Pred par leti je bila že sprožena misel, da bi poklonile primeren spomenik v imenu Zveze na svetem gričku pri Mariji Pomagaj in letos se bo to uresničilo. V ta namen se je iz glavnega urada poslalo pisma na vse podružnice in prosilo za prostovoljne prispevke. Podružnice so se že prav lepo odzvale in tudi posameznih daril je prišlo lepo število. Kdor bi še rad daroval za spomenik, bo imel priložnost na dan romanja. Ko bomo dobili skupaj vse prispevke, potem se bo odločilo, kaj se bo postavilo na prostorih v spomin Slovenske ženske zveze. Ker smo dobivale vsa leta zelo lepo naklonjenost tudi od častitih sester, je sklenjeno, da se bo nabrana vsota razdelila na dva dela, namreč polovico za čč. oo. frančiškane in polovico za čč. sestre na Mount Assissi. Vsak dar v ta namen je dan kakor za v Boga-ime, zato je upati, da se boste pri vseh podružnicah velikodušno izkazale za ta plemeniti namen. Naš glavna predsednica Josephine Livek, 331 Elm Street, Oglesby, Illinois, sprejema vsa darila in njena največja skrb ob tem času je, če bo prišla skupaj' lepa vsota, ker potem bo tudi spomenik veličasten spomin na vse članice naše Zveze in sploh za vse, ki delujejo	za ugled in ponos katoliškega sveta v širni Ameriki.
Vljudno ste vabljene vse	članice od blizu in	daleč, kakor tudi vsi prijatelji	naše	Zveze.
Torej: Na veselo svidenje v nedeljo 19. julija, v Lemontu.
Piknik bo pa pod oskrbo podružnic št. 2 in 20, kakor vsako leto. Pripravljeno bo mnogo dobrih	jedil in pijače, kakor tudi	raznovrstnih zabav.	Največje	veselje pa bo srečati	svoje	sosestre
in znance, katere vidimo samo	enkrat na leto. In	letos naj	nihče zamudi romanja	in piknika na
ameriških Brezjah v Lemontu, Illinois.	i

Mrs. Rosenberg v ,,naši luči
Aleksander Urankar, O.F.M. duhovni svetovalec
ELEKTRIČNI STOL v Sing Singu je upihnil dvoje življenj, za kateri se je ves svet potegoval. Svetu je bilo zlasti to hudo, da j& morala v smrt žena, mati Mrs. Rosenberg. Glejte, še nam je duši zavest, da žena ne bi smela utrpeti najgroznejše kazni. Res, zgraža se nam, da mora nežno bitje, kot je ženska, biti tudi v kazni enakopravna moškemu. Gentlemanska je naša zavest, naj bi vsaj ženskemu spolu prizanašali s križi, ki naj bi jih moški nosili. Moškemu Pravičnost, ženski milost. Deljeno je naše mišljenje, sli je bilo prav ali ni bilo prav, da so ubili zakonsko dvojico. Odgovor na to vprašanje naj si posamezniki dajo. V dobro in premislek bi vam, bralkam, pa lahko povedal: ali ni čudna logika:	žene se toliko
Potegujejo za enakopravnost z možmi, ko dobe enakopravnost tudi v odgovornosti, se pa z grozo obračamo od posledic zločina in greha žene? — Dvoje mi stavi ja pred oči slučaj v Sing-Singu. Eno misel: svet še vedno čisla žensko kot predstavnico dobrega, plemenitega in se čudi, da bi se mogla žena spodtakniti in pasti tako globoko, da bi ji bilo treba življenje vzeti za ta ali drugi zločin? Druga misel: Ali je enakopravnost, za katero se žene potegujejo, res enakopravnost, ali ni le degradacija? Postavil jo je Bog na višjo stopnjo plemenitosti, poslanstva, materinstva tn družinske avtoritete. Ko hoče žena biti enaka možu, v resnici le stopi z višine navzdol. Če se ji potem dogajajo nesrečni slučaji krute enakopravnosti, si bo morala le sebi pripisati. Morda sem pa že preveč povedal. Pa povej, če prav ne mislim. Duhovni nasvet: drži se svojega poslanstva, žena, ki ti ga je Bog v življenju odločil, pa boš prejela vso spoštljivost in dolžno dostojnost od strani moštva in sveta.
KLANJAM SE, MILOSTLJIVA. Se spomniš ljubljanskih dam. Po pravilih etikete (lepega vedenja) je bilo treba s takimi besedami izkazovati čast 1n poklon ženski, pa še ne celo z golo besedo. Treba }e bilo tudi z raznimi gibi potrditi izraz spoštljivosti. No, nekdo je dejal: ta duhovni svetovalec v „Zarji” nie spomni včasih na starokrajske Ljubljančane, ki s° s pokloni kazali svojo laskajočo se fineso. Beži, beži, pravim jaz. Pa povej, če ni res:	Od žena je
toIiko odvisno. Dobrega, svetega, plemenitega, pa tudi zla seveda. Ali ni bolje, da iščemo in dvigamo z&klad, ki ga je Bog poveril in v srce skril, mesto, da bi črne poteze ženstva podčrtaval. Če je to laskanje, Ps naj bo. Vse preveč radi ljudje iščemo noč in temo v življenju kot da bi ne bilo tudi sonca in dneva, vse Preveč povdarjamo človeško slabost kot možnost Svetlobe in svetništva, ki je v človeški naravi.
V	kosu kamna, ki ga je našel kamnosek, kipar ne vidi zmes apna, ki žge, in granit, ki je robat — vidi sliko obraza, ki ga bo lahko izklesal iz trde skalovine. Tako glejmo v človeku poteze božjega obraza, ki jo sili Bog sam na dan s svojo milostjo in jo človek pomaga spravljati na dan s svojim sodelovanjem z milostjo. Kako je že rekel James Keller, znani duhovni vodnik: Mesto, da bi klel temo, raje svečko prižgi. Biljon neznatnih svečk ravno tako preganja črno temo kot najbolj močen žaromet električne sile. Kdor hoče umeti, bo umel. „Klanjam se, milostljiva,” pa v svoj žep vtakni, ali pa za svoj klobuk deni.
SVETI CIPRIJAN je bil boter krščanskemu po-kretu v Afriki, zelo cvetoči občini Kristusovega evangelija. Imel je mnogo preganjalcev in kritikastrov, ljudi, ki so metali polena pod noge svetcu in duhovnemu voditelju. Med drugim so mu to očitali: v svojih krščanskih naseljih imaš same ženske, kaj je taka vera? Veste, kaj jim je odgovoril: Ponosen sem na te svoje žene, ker vidim v njih najboljše misijonarke svetega življenja. V čast nam je, da so cerkve le ženi. polne. Kdor ima ženo, ima moža, ima svet. „Tako nekako je odgovoril. (Nadejam se, da bom staknil kje to Ciprijanovo pismo; kar lepo bi bilo, da bi naše žene imele ves njegov govor pri roki. Le v odstavkih se ga spominjam iz bogoslovskih let.) „Puklež," bi lahko tudi njemu rekel. Puklež — štajerska — za človeka, ki se „klanja" in „hrbet lomi", kadar mu treba ni. Po misli mojega ocenjevalca.
S PAVOVIM PERJEM bi se seveda ponašala žena, ki bi se sedaj šla trkat in bahat: me smo me. Glejte, kaj mislijo o nas še cerkveni očetje. Trka se v ponosu lahko samo žena, ki ji je res mnogo do tega, da dobro v svetu zavlada in to svojo željo z zgledom potrdi. Dobra žena še tega ponosa poznala ne bo in tudi ne kazala, ker ve, da se dobro blago samo hvali. Dobroti — iskreni, odkritosrčni in nalezljivi — je najboljša sestra, ponižnost.
DOBROTA NALEZLJIVA? Tako nalezljiva kot zlo. Kot se bolezen širi po bakterijah, tako se razpase zlo. Pa tudi dobrota. Dober zgled je „nalezljiv” kot je slabost, kot je greh nalezljiv. Sicer pravijo: eno gnilo jabolko ves koš jabolk pokvari, eno dobro jabolko pa še ni nikdar koš gnilih jabolk spremenilo v dobro. V duhovnem življenju to ne drži. Dobrota je zelo nalezljiva, zlasti od zgoraj, od žene in matere. To bo vsak priznal.

Glasilo Slovenske Ženske Zveze — ZARJA — nastopa s tem mesecem 25 letnico svojega obstanka. Kako je Zveza prišla do lastnega glasila?
Ko se je naša organizacija rodila, smo imele na razpolago dnevnik Amerikanski Slovenec, v katerem smo klicale in vabile naše po vsej širni Ameriki razkropljene Slovenke, naj pristopijo v Zvezo. S tem gradivom smo večkrat napolnile polovico Amerikanskega Slovenca, kar mnogim naročnikom ni ugajalo. Ker je Zveza rastla hitro in je bilo radi velikega zanimanja pričakovati vedno več dopisov, je bilo v tem oziru res treba nekaj storiti.
Na seji gl. odbora dne 30. julija 1928, je bila po tedanji gl. tajnici Juliji Gottlieb predložena resolucija, naj Zveza napove svojo prvo kampanjo za nove članice in ko bo število 2000 doseženo, naj Zveza prične izdajati svoje lastno glasilo, brez povišanja v asesmentu.
Dasi je potreba po lastnem glasilu bila nujna, smo gl. odbornice vkljub temu imele pomisleke, da-li je Zveza dovolj močna pričeti z lastnim listom. Organizacija je bila takrat majhna. Štela je komaj tisoč članic, v njeni blagajni je bilo samo $2,600. Ker je Zveza spomladi istega leta izdala svojo prvo publikacijo, knjigo AMERIŠKA SLOVENKA, ki je obetala prinesti lep dobiček, je bilo mnenje gl. odbornic, naj bi ta dobiček pokril nekaj stroškov glasila, prihodnja konvencija bo pa uredila glede asesmenta. S temi načrti je bila končno sprejeta resolucija, da prične Zveza izdajati svoj lasten list. Organizacija si je korajžno naložila novo in veliko narodno delo, izdajati ženski list, ki bi naj služil v pouk in izobrazbo Zve-zinim članicam, VSEM AMERIŠKIM SLOVENKAM pa v reklamo. V naše veliko zadoščenje se je uradno Zvezino glasilo, katerega smo krstile za ,,ZARJO”, uspešno obneslo. Nikdar bi Zveza ne bila to kar je, če bi ne imela svojega lista.
Prva kampanja, namenjena v dosego lastnega glasila, se je izborno obnesla. Ko je meseca julija 1929 izšla prva številka Zarje, je Zveza štela ne samo predpisanih 2000 članic, temveč 2,816. To je bil dokaz, da so članice res želele imeti svoj list, ker so šle na delo s tako pridnostjo, da so pridobile 800 članic nad določeno kvoto.
Slovenski časopisi v Ameriki so, razen enega, novo koleginjo ne časnikarskem polju prijazno pozdravili. Od moške strani ni bilo nikakega nasprotstva, dasi smo se tega kar malo bale. Zveza je prejela mnogo priznanja, pa tudi presenečenje se je slišalo: „Ženske sl pa res mnogo upate!”
Prva številka Zarje je izšla na 20. straneh s platnicami vred. Konvencije, vršeče se leta 1930, 1933 in 1939, so list povečale za nadaljnih 20 strani. Nobena teh konvencij ni zvišala asesmenta. Konvencija leta 1943, vršeča se v Pittsburghu, je radi velikih stroškov znižala list na sedanjo velikost, 36 strani s platnicami.
Ko je Zarja pričela izhajati, je bil račun prvi mesec za tiskarno in uredniško plačo $189.00, zdaj nas vsaki mesec stane nad $1,400.00. Ali: prvi mesec po 6 centov na članico, zdaj pa 14 centov za vsako številko.
Slovenska Ženska Zveza ima zaslugo, da je v naši ženi vzbudila veselje do pisanja v javnosti. Pred ustanovitvijo Zveze so bili dopisi od ženske roke redki. Z prihodom ženske organizacije se je rodila nova misel in nova želja
sodelovati v ženskih krogih in naše vrle Slovenke so kar čez noč postale navdušene pisateljice.
Prva urednica Zarje je bila prva gl. tajnica Zveze, Mrs. Julija Gottlieb. Uredniško delo je upravljala od prve številke do konca leta 1930. V Zarjo je bila globoko zainteresirana.
Od januarja 1931 do julija 1933 je naše glasilo urejevala takratna gl. tajnica Mrs. Josephine Račič, ki je dala Zarji ugled leposlovnega lista. Od julija 1933 do julija 1952 je naše glasilo izvrstno urejevala Mrs. Albina Novak, sedanja gl. tajnica.
Zadnja konvencija je nastavila novo urednico, v Ameriki rojeno Slovenko, Miss Corinne Novak. Corinne ima akademsko izobrazbo in je kot taka za urednico sposobna, zlasti kar se tiče angleščine. V slovenščini seveda potrebuje pomoči, ker pač ne moremo pričakovati, da bi tu rojena dekle popolnoma obvladala pismeno slovenščino, za kar je treba večletni študij. Ko se Corinne svojemu delu popolnoma privadi, bo gotovo pričela pisati uredniške članke, kar bi želele in z veseljem pozdravile zlasti naše mlajše članice.
Prva številka Zarje je bila posvečena slovenski materi-pionirld z besedami: „Naj bo ta, prva številka našega ženskega lista, posvečena slovenski materi, trpinki, ki se je hrabro borila s težkočami v daljnem tujem svetu, v naši novi domovini Ameriki; posvečena naj bo junakinji, ki si je upala zapustiti dom in se napotiti v neznano deželo, za negotovo bodočnostjo, ter materi, ki je svojo deco od-gojila v ponosu na slovensko narodnost in svojo vero. Prva številka Zarje je zlasti posvečena tistim materam, ki so članice Slovenske Ženske Zveze, ki imajo poleg drugih vrlin tudi močno razvito zavednost, da le v skupni organizaciji je ženska moč ..
Besede, napisane za prvo številko Zarje, veljajo tudi danes. Zarja bo vedno dokaz narodne zavednosti vseh Zve-zinih članic, ki iz ljubezni do svojega materinega jezika in svoje narodnosti vzdržujejo s požrtvovalnostjo svoj lasten list.

O požtrvovalnem in vztrajnem delu naših slovenskih žena bi lahko napisali debele knjige. Ali je moški svet že kdaj vprašal kaj bi bilo z našimi kulturnimi in podpornimi društvi, našimi narodnimi institucijami, našim prosvetnim in društvenim življenjem, če bi se pri njih ne udejstvovale žene in dekleta?
Kamorkoli pogledamo, povsod vidimo, da ne samo doma v hiši, ampak tudi v našem javnem in kulturnem življenju podpira naše ženstvo talcorekoč tri vogale. Ne samo, da ženske večkrat pomagajo moškim pri njih udejstvovanju, ampak so si tudi same organizirale toliko raznih ustanov, da se njih energiji v resnici lahko čudimo.
Naš ženski spol je povsod delaven: Pri narodnih domovih, kulturnih prireditvah, v svojih društvih in svojih farah. Mnogo narodnega dela pa je bilo storjenega v krogu Slovenske Ženske Zveze.
Pred nekaj leti mi je prijatelj pisal: „Čestitam k imenitnemu napredku pri Ženski Zvezi! Spominjam se, kako smo bili možaki presenečeni, ko ste prišli na dan z mislijo za ustanovitev Vaše organizacije. Saj bi nam moškim skoro glave odletele z ramen, tako smo hiteli majati z njimi takrat in dvomili o Vašem uspehu. Kaj bodo ženske opravile same? Brez nas moških ni nič! Pa poglejmo danes! Mnogo nad 10,000 šteje Ženska Zveza in moškim so od samega začudenja obstale glave in nehale nihati sem in tja. Seveda, zdaj Vam delamo poklone in smatramo to gigantsko narodno delo naših žen in deklet kot nekaj samo ob sebi umevnega. Smo pa tudi mi ponosni na Vašo Zvezo, ne samo največjo v Ameriki, temveč med Slovenci sploh. Naj živi ženska podjetnost in Vaša neizčrpna vztrajnost!”

„Vem. Važen je samo otrok, ki se igra. Tudi če Je velik, gospodična Helena?”
„Takrat še mnogo bolj, gospod sodnik.”
Cesta, po kateri hodita, je res zapuščena. Dolgo, prav dolgo niso vozili po njej. Tudi hodili so tod malo. Velika drevesa stražijo pusti kolovoz in zapirajo pogled v svet. Vsepovsod je mir in molk širokega gozda.
„Kam naju peljete?” vprašuje gospodična Helena, ko ni videti, da bi cesta vodila do kakega pametnega cilja.
„Saj je vseeno. Nihče naju ne pričakuje, nikomur nisva povedala, kdaj prideva. Nihče ne bo v skrbeh. Nikogar ne bova videla, z nikomer govorila... Greva v neki prazen svet, kjer bova sama.”
Rahel smeh spremlja sodnikovo govorjenje.
„V prazen svet,” ponavlja gospodična kakor odmev, ki se je nekje zakasnil in se prepozno vrača. „Ali se ne bova izgubila v njem?”
Besede ne razodevajo nikake skrbi. Kdor bi hotel brati iz njih več, kakor je bilo v naglici vanje položeno, bi odkril morda celč neko željo, da bi se res kakor koli izgubila.
„Vedno se nekam izgubljamo,” pravi sodnik, ki je že zopet nekje v svojih mislih. „To izgubljanje je skoraj edina novost, ki nam jo življenje prinaša.”
„Ne, danes ne bova govorila o tem,” pravi gospodična Helena. „Sicer se bova res izgubila.”
„Včasih je tudi to lepo. Vendar imate prav. Ta tihi gozd ni za take razgovore... Kdaj pride vaš ženin?” „Tudi to ni snov za pravi razgovor, gospod sodnik.” Na ustih mlade žene je smeh, v besedah pa skorajda rahel strah. Vprašanje je prišlo preveč nenadno.
„Potem mi dajte roko in nič ne vprašujte, sicer boste padli v prepad,” pravi gospod sodnik.
Pot je nekaj časa res nerodna, čeprav o nevarnosti ni mogoče govoriti. Zavija naglo navzdol in je vedno bolj pusta. Tudi gozd je vedno temnejši.
„Dalje ne bova šla,” pravi sodnik in se začne ustavljati. „Vidim, da ne bova ničesar odkrila... Glejte, med tistimi bukvami je nekaj prostora zanju. Tam ostaneva, dokler se nama bo ljubilo.”
„Dobro...”
„Ste zadovoljni s tem zasilnim domom?”
„Ko pa drugega ni. Ob jezeru je bilo lepše.” ..Pokrajina sama je bila skoraj tako uboga, kakor je ta.”
„0, bilo	je več	sonca, neba in prostora.	Pa jezero...
In	govorila sva o	marsičem.”
„To bova mogla tudi danes.”
„Lepo. Prostor	je kakor ustvarjen za razgovor. Še zaljubljenci bi	mu ne mogli nič očitati. Miru	in samote je
res dovolj.”
„Vidite, kako dobro sem izbral.”
Sodnikov smeh daje izgovorjenim besedam poseben pomen.
„Ali boste svojemu dekletu v taki tihi samoti odkrivali svoje srce?”
„Morda. Nič se ne vč. Trenutno bi na to vprašanje ne vedel pravega odgovora. Morda čez nekaj dni."
„Da. Tako ste rekli. Kako ste pa mislili?”
„Čez nekaj let, seveda.”
„To je strašno dolgo. Govorite o čem drugem! Pa naj ne bo tako daleč v bodočnosti.”
„Saj sem začel, pa niste hoteli odgovarjati.”
„Oh, vedno prihajate s tem nesrečnim ženinom, ko nič drugega ne veste. Mislite si, da je umrl.”
„Pa naj bo... A blizu sva si sedaj samo midva. Ali hočete, da vam govorim o vas samih?”
„Kako hočete to narediti?”
„To bi tudi sam rad vedel... Že vem, kako bi šlo.” „Res? Zanimivo.”
..Povedal bi kar koli. Trdil bi stvari, ki utegnejo biti v vsakem primeru resnične. In če bi ne bilo prav, bi morali popraviti. Iz teh popravkov bi končno razbral vafio pravo zgodbo.”
„In če bi vas pustila v zmoti?”
„Tega bi ne storili.”
„Zakaj ne?"
„Ker vam ni povsem vseeno, kako mislim o vas.”
„To bi utegnilo biti res.”
„Ali naj poskusim?”
,,Ne, prosim, ne. To zgodbo boste zvedeli t&ko, kakršna je. Vso ubogo in dolgočasno, vsakdanjo in plehko, kakor jih je tisoč in milijon. Ko bom dovolj ponižna, da vam jo bom povedala brez vsega olepšavanja. Danes še nisem tako pogumna in nesebična, če ne boste medtem vsega sami zaslutili in brez povesti spoznali..
„Saj nisem hotel biti vsiljiv. Bila je samo šala. Zelo neumna in otročja šala.”
„Ne, ne, vsiljivosti nisem čutila. Vedela sem, da je šala. Vem pa tudi, da sem vaš dolžnik. Pa se ne morem tako naglo vživeti v svet vaše odkritosti, čeprav se mi dozdeva vse zelo lepo... Povejte, v kateri smeri je vaš dom?”
„Tod. Proti vzhodu.”
„Kalco je tam?”
„Nekoč se mi je zdelo, da je zelo vsakdanje. Danes mislim, da je lepo kakor malokje. Kraji dobivajo nekaj svoje lepote od ljudi, ki v njih živč. Toda zakaj vas to zanima?”
„Ne vem. V mislih sem že nekajkrat iskala vafio rodno vas. Zdelo se mi je, da vidim preprosto kmečko hišo. Pred vrati stoji vaša mati in vas čaka.”
..Navadno me ni čakala. Preveč dela je imela. Nafiel sem jo v kuhinji ali v sobi. Ko sem vstopil, se je ozrla in je počasi prišla k meni. Nekaj materinskega ponosa j® bilo v teh sprejemih. Morda se je bala kakega razočaranja.”
„Ne vem, kaj mislite.”
..Nejasno govorim, ker sem s svojimi mislimi že nekje doma. Hotel sem reči, da se je morda zelo bala zame. Nekaj mesecev, kar me ni videla, je moglo prinesti toliko sprememb. Njena skrb ni bila sentimentalnost gosposke matere, ki je vsa nesrečna, ako svojega otroka nekaj dni ne vidi. Taki verni kmečki materi je otrokovo slovo mnogo več. Njene oči so najprej vprašale: ,Ali sl še dober? Ali se ml vračaš, kakršen si odšel?’ Ta skrb Je bila večja kakor hrepenenje po svidenju. Ako bi ml šla naproti, bi morda vse prezgodaj opazila nesrečo, ki se je je vedno bala.”
„Zelo rada vas je morala imeti...”
„Takrat tega nisem tako dobro vedel.”
„Danes vam je jasno.”
„V bistvu že. Vendar se mi dozdeva, da je taka materinska ljubezen nerazrešljiva skrivnost, ako Jo merimo zgolj b človeškimi merili.”
„Zopet ne razumem.”
..Včasih je težko kako stvar prav povedati... Dozdeva se mi, da ta všlika ljubezen sploh ni bila namenjena meni." „Kako? Sedaj sem izgubila vsako sled...”
„Mati je vedela, da odgovarja zame pred Bogom. Nje® otrok je bil v primeri s tem zadnjim Gospodarjem prav nebogljena igračka. V njenih očeh Je bilo vse zlo, ki sQ>°
/
Sa naredili, žalitev nekega svetega reda in upor proti božji ljubezni. Nikjer nisem te odgovornosti tako čutil. Ob nobenem duhovniku nisem imel tako žive zavesti, da je krivda resnična žalitev božja. Sebe ni tako visoko cenila, da bi bila zaradi osebne krivice, ki jo je pretrpela, tako strašno žalostna.”
Neka sveta resnoba govori iz sodnikovih besed. Zopet sta ob prepadu, kjer se vse poti nehajo.
„Danes se ne boji več, da bi se ji izgubili?”
„Zdi se mi, da njena skrb ni več takč velika. Morda °e čuti več tako težke odgovornosti. Povsem mirna pa bo ®amo na mrtvaškem odru.”
Veter se rahlo poigrava z listjem v vrhovih dreves. Od nekod zvedavo prisluškuje pramen sončnih žarkov, ki so našli pot skozi vejevje.
„Lep dom imate,” pravi gospodična zelo iskreno.
„Nič ne bom tajil. Pred leti bi mi bili morali to s trudom dokazovati.”
„Zakaj?”
„Dom se ni spremenil. Vsaj bistveno ne. Vedno smo bili dobri. Mislim, da se je predrugačilo le moje gledanje na svet. V svojih otroških letih sem videl v svetu polno Jepot. Menda je bilo vse samo privid. Kjer ni nič določnega, tam lahko razpredeš svoje sanje. To, kar je v tebi, Preneseš v tuji svet, ki je odet v neki vsaj navidezen sijaj. Svoj dom pa poznaš iz vsakdanje resničnosti. Marsikaj bi moglo biti drugače. Ker ni, ti je težko, čeprav je niorda sam6 malenkost. Najprej se ti mora svet prikazati v resnični podobi. Tisti namišljeni in zlagani blesk mora obledeti. Lepota se ti mora odkriti v svoji bornosti. Neiskrena dobrohotnost te mora razočarati do bolečine. Potem se ti odkrije materin obraz v vsej svoji plemeniti bednosti. Oče te pozdravlja s svojo nekam trdo besedo, ^ič več ne dvomiš, da ti je dober. In potem za vedno veš, da imaš dom ..
„Dom...? Zelo malo vem o njem,” pravi gospodična Selena. „In ne vem, če ga bom kdaj odkrila.”
„Boste ga. Saj imate željo po njem. Meni je bilo cel6 tuje. Tako čudno daleč sem zabredel v svojo sanjsko deželo, da še mislil nisem na kako novo odkritje domače W8e. Domači so bili samo okvir moje lastne brezpomemb-°®sti. ime moje. domače vasi ni imelo nobenega posebnega *voka. Dozdevalo se mi je, da bi bila povest, ki bi o takem doinu govorila, povsem nemogoča. Ne bila bi vredna ^anja. Vsakdanje malenkosti, dolgčas, preprosto delo brez Poezije, skrb brez globoke tragike. To je bilo vse. Dokler m Prišlo spoznanje. Morda se je vse dolgo pripravljalo. Ne Yem ve$ podrobnosti. Vem pa, da je nova zavest prišla *elo nenadno.”
..Ali se še spominjate?”
..Da, zelo jasno. Bilo je na poti v domačo cerkev. Mislil sem na veliki vset, na svojo bodočnost, na velike načrte, ** so mi bili za spremstvo. Kar naenkrat je stopila predme 5*ati. Z njo je bil oče, bratje in sestre, vsa hiša, dom. ^bšla me je zavest neke osramočenosti. Spoznal sem z jasnostjo, da svojemu domu nisem bil do konca pra-T*čen. Domov sem prišel s tiho mislijo, da bo kmalu vse
drugače.”
..Kar se vam je posrečilo.”
, »Vsaj deloma. Trudil sem se. Mnogo lepega sem odkril v vaši preprosti vsakdanjosti. Poprej mi je bilo včasih e*ko, ker je bila naša hiša v vasi najstarejša, iz lesa in * slamo krita; čisto sama v vsej vasi. Sedaj me to ne ®J°ti več. Malone vesel sem te beraške izjeme. Včasih se rji 3e dozdevalo, da nas je za tako posestvece preveč pri nisi. Ta nevolja ni veljala nobenemu izmed bratov in ester. Vsakega bi bil težko pogrešal. Ne, to je bila neza-®voljnost z usodo, ki nas je vse skupaj vrgla na tisti b°ei kos zemlje. Danes sem vesel prav tega, da nas je ‘~llogo. Nekoliko sem ponosen na to, da smo kljub borati zemlje in hiše dobili vsak svoj košček kruha. Druge, 6»ke hiše so propadle, mi smo ostali. Zato ne verujem j.6^ v številke in v račune. Življenje ni matematika. Živ* JenJe je tveganje in ne zavarovalnica. Ko si se popolnoma
zav&roval pred vsem hudim in grenkim, propadeš. Imaš mogoče denar, ne poznaš pa več neke svete brezskrbnosti, ki je potrebna človekovemu srcu. Mož in žena ne smeta biti mešetarja. S tem ogoljufata sebe. Pač pa se morata poznati in rada imeti. To si zapomnite, gospodična nevesta!”
..Poskušala bom,” pravi dekle med smehom.
„Potem je vse lepše in lažje. Najtežje stvari dobijo smisel. Kar je prinašalo žalost, postane znamenje zmage. Ali hočete, da dokažem, kako prav imam?”
„Saj vam brez dokaza verjamem, gospod sodnik. Vam je tako težko ugovarjati. Zdi se mi, da vam priznam vse, še preden kaj poveste.”
„S temi ugovori se boste borili, ko boste sami o tem razmišljali.”
„To ne bo prehudo. Povejte še kaj o svojem domu.” ..Najrajši bi vam ga pokazal, pa sva predaleč. Preko vseh teh hribov je težko videti. Človek pozabi na dolgo vrsto malenkosti. Če si pa tam, je povsod spomin. Vsako drevo govori, vsaka njiva ima svojo posebnost, vsak predmet je rahlo povezan s tvojo mladostjo... O hiši sem že govoril. Mislite si jo prav preprosto; skromnejšo, kakor je moja beseda in pohvala. Kako mi je bila resničen dom, tega vam ne morem popisati. Ti mi morate verjeti.”
„Saj verjamem.”
„Okrog hiše je zelena trata. In drevje, ki je rodilo manj, kakor bi bilo prav za kopico otrok. Zato pa je imelo sadje večjo vrednost. Jabolka, ki jih je shranila mati za zimske mesece, so imela prav posebno imeniten okus. Včasih se mi je zdelo, da je znala čarati.”
„Da, pričarala vam je srečo, ki se ji drugi čudijo.” „Mimo hiše vodi bela cesta. Bela je samo v suhem poletju in zimi. Sicer je temna in umazana. Bila mi je samo pot v svet. Po njej sem odhajal in prihajal.”
Molk gozda je vedno globlji. Sonce se nagiba proti zapadu. Tu in tam se kakšen žarek izgubi v to pozabljeno samoto. Sodnik in gospodična prav malo pazita na te obiske.
„Za hišo so polja,” nadaljuje sodnik. „Polja, to je tako bahaško povedano. Dve, tri njivice še niso pravo polje. Svet se najprej nekoliko dviga, potem pa zopet rahlo pada. Prva njiva je ozka, a je razgrnjena precej daleč v hrib. Druga leži počez in je nekoliko skrivljena. Kot študent sem opazil, da je to naše polje močno podobno nekoliko nalomljenemu križu. To je bilo eno prvih spoznanj, ki je imelo kaj smisla. Na ta strti križ smo bili pribiti in smo še danes. Ne vem, ali sta oče in mati ta simbolizem doumela. Jaz pa tudi nisem hotel govoriti o svojem odkritju. Materi je bilo vedno zelo težko, ako je kdo kaj očital.”
„Vedela je pač, da je dovolj poskrbela za vas.”
„Na tisti njivi, ki je kakor prečno deblo velikega križa, sem smel prvikrat držati za plug. Samo v eni brazdi. Bil sem nemalo ponosen na to svoje veliko delo. Povedal sem materi, bratom in sestram. Bilo je res lepo.” „Ali imate očeta tako radi kakor mater?”
„Na to ne morem povedati pravičnega odgovora. Morda se te dve ljubezni sploh ne moreta primerjati. Oče je pri nas vez z velikim svetom. Čeprav ima sam6 ljudsko šolo, je mnogo bral in mnogo ve. Svet je spoznal iz knjig in iz atlasa, ki sva ga našla pri neki hiši, ko sva po oranju sedela v sobi in čakala na obed. Potem sva cele ure presedela pri tisti pisani knjigi in sva romala po svetu. Na polju sva se igrala šolo. Govorila sva o Iztoku in bizantinskih cesarjih, o Longinu Podbipieti in križarjih, o rusko-japonslci vojski in o kapitanu Hatterasu. Mislim, da bi brez takega očeta ne našel poti v šolo.”
„Kljub temu imate mater rajši..
„Da. Kakor mi je ljubši dober otrok kakor pameten. Čeprav je to v življenju zelo pomešano. Moj oče je včasih zelo čustven. Materi pa zopet njena ljubezen pomaga, da gleda globlje kakor učen psiholog.”

KRONANJE ANGLEŠKE KRALJICE ELIZABETE DRUGE ^KO bi leteči krožniki začeli padati na zemljo, bi se svet ne bil toliko zmenil za ta pojav, kakor se je zanimal za kronanje mlade kraljice Elizabete druge. London, največje mesto na svetu, je dan za dnem sprejemalo velikanske množice turistov, katerih najvišji cilj sreče je bil, videti na lastne oči to srečno bitje, ki zavzema po volji ljudstva najvišjo čast v Angliji. Iz vseh delov sveta so prihajale skupine diplomatov, da s svojo navzočnostjo povišajo to izvanredno kronsko svečanost in izkažejo mladi kraljici vdanost in prijateljstvo njenih podložnikov, katerim naj bi prinesla srečo in blagostanje. V torek, 2. junija so zgodaj oživeli trgi in pločniki ob katerih je bil napovedan kraljičin sprevod. Ljudstvo je pod milim nebom dremalo in počivalo v zavesti, da bodo gotovo videli zlato kočijo, v kateri se bo peljala kraljica iz palače Buckingham v Westminster Abby, kjer je bil vsak kotiček zavzet od povablje-nit: aristokratov, diplomatov in drugih višjih dostojanstvenikov in njihovih gospe. Nebo ni bilo prizanesljivo in je od časa do časa poškropilo čakajoče množice, ki se niso ustrašile Se tako slabega vremena. Kronanje je redka slavnost in vsakemu ni dana taka prilika, da bi lahko osebno videl toliko odlične družbe in v tem slučaju osebo, mlado simpatično ženo, kateri je poverjena vlada čez šeststo milijonov ljudi. Kronanje je zgodovinski dogodek. Vsak je rajši malo potrpel, samo da je videl vsaj del tega, kar bo stalo pisano v zgodovini angleškega imperija.
Kraljica Elizabeta je začela svoj zgodovinski dan z molitvijo, zaupajoč, da bo z Božjo pomočjo mogla vršiti dano nalogo. Za vso svečanost se je temeljito pripravila, da je natančno vedela, kam naj se obrne, kam naj poklekne in kaj naj reče, ko je delala svečane obljube. Najsvečanejši trenutek je bilo maziljenje na dlaneh rok, na prsih in na glavi. Za ta obred je bila kraljica oblečena v beli platneni obleki, ki je bila okrašena z vezanimi okraski, ki so simbol njene države. Nad njo so štirje vitezi držali razpeto nebo iz zlatega blaga. Tako je bil ta obred zaščiten in privaten. Sveto olje Je shranjeno v zlati posodici, ki je v obliki orla. Ta posodica se imenuje ampulla in je dragocenost iz enajstega stoletja. Zraven je tudi zlata in umetniško izdelana žlica, v katero vlijejo olje. Obred se nadaljuje, ko je kraljici izročen meč, žezlo in drugi znaki kraljeve časti in moči. Na desno roko ji nadškof natakne dragocen prstan — znak kraljevega dostojanstva. Kronanje se napravi s krono sv. Edwarda.
Posuta z dragocenimi kamni in dija-manti tehta okrog sedem funtov. Kaj tako težkega držati na glavi bi utrudilo še krepkega moža, kaj še-le mlado gospo. Ta krona se rabi samo za kronanje, potem pa jo skrbno spravijo med druge kraljevske dragocenosti. Državna krona je tudi jako dragocena. V njej je vdelan tristosedem-najst karatni Cullinan dijamant. Nad tem se sveti velik rubin Črnega princa. Ima skoro tritisoč sto draguljev. To so velike državne dragocenosti, ki imajo tudi zgodovinski pomen. Po kronanju so zapele salve in klici navzočih kot pozdrav kraljici „God save the Queen”. Canterburski nadškof se prvi pokloni kraljici in ji izreče svojo vdanost. Za njim je bil prvi na vrsti kraljičin soprog, vojvoda Edinburški. Ta je pokleknil in ji obljubil večno vdanost položivši svoji roki v njeni. Dotaknil se je krone in jo poljubil nil levo lice. Za njim so se zvrstili še drugi ožji člani kraljevske rodbine. Med vsemi obredi so prepevali in igrali posebne melodije, ki so bile prirejene za take svečanosti. Zanimivo je, da je kraljičin štiriletni sinček, princ Charles eno celo uro sedel poleg svoje stare matere kraljice-vdove in tete princeze Margarete. Ves čas so je lepo držal in pazno sledil vsem ceremonijam tekom ene ure. Potem pa so ga odpeljali nazaj domov v palačo, kjer se je veselil z otroci njegove starosti, katerim je priredil malo zabavo. Po končanih slavnostih se je kraljica oblekla v purpurast žamet ter zamenjala krono sv. Edwarda z državno krono. Ob zvokih državne himne, v spremstvu svojih dragih, se je utrujena kraljica vrnila v palačo ter med vso potjo vračala z veselim obrazom navdušene ovacije ljudstva.
ŠTEVILO BANČNIH URADNIC NARAŠČA po izjavi Charlotte Buchanan, ki je
urednica od Security-First National Bank's Security News, so ženske tiste, ki razpolagajo z ameriškim premoženjem. Ženske premorejo veliko vrednost v raznih delnicah. To vrednost cenijo na 27 bilijonov. V teh časih, ko naša vlada troši ogromno denarja za vojno in za mir, smo se že malo privadili na take velike številke kot se označujejo z bilijoni. Več kot polovico delnic od železnic, public Utilities, in drugih velikih kompanij naše industrije lastujejo ženske. Vprašali bomo, kako je do tega prišlo. Največ menda po dediščinah, saj pravijo, da ženske delj časa živijo, kakor pa možje. Zavarovalne police izkazujejo zopet večje Število žensk, kot dediči teh zavarovalnin. Statistika izkazuje, da jih je več kot 75 odstotkov. Kakor vidimo, se vse bogastvo steka ženskam v prid. Tako Je torej logično, da banke nastavljajo večje število uradnic. Te se razumejo kako je treba ustrezati ženskim vlagateljem in poslovati z denarjem po njihovi direktivi.
Več kot polovico vseh bančnih vlog' lastujejo ženske. Mogoče je vloga na oba, na moža in ženo, kar se more smatrati, da ima žena enak delež pri tem. Pa tudi zakaj bi ga ne imela. Saj vemo, da tista praktična ženska torbica drži vsak pridobljen in zaslužen dolar. Žal, da se prav dolgo ne greje v njej, ker gospodinja mora kriti dnevno različne stroške — za živež, za obleko, obutev, stanovanje in veliko^ različnih potrebščin za dom in družino. Rekli bi — denar pride pa tudi hitro odide. Pri vsem tem pa varčne gospodinje skrbijo, da se ustavijo tudi na bankah, kjer nalagajo mogoče prihranke za deževne dni ali za starost. Ženska prav dobro pojmi vrednost denarja in se tudi zanima za gospodarstvo v Beli hiši. Politično zavedna ženska ne bo nikdar rekla, da se ne zanima za politiko. Ona dobro ve, da so v Washingtonu tisti, ki razpolagajo z bilijoni, ki jih prinašajo davki od ljudstva. Bančni posli, poverjeni ženskam, so se prav dobro obnesli in krivično bi bilo, ako bi žensko ne našle zaposlitve pri denarnih zavodih, kjer imajo ženske velik interes.
VELIKA SKRB ZA PREHRANO NAŠEGA VOJAŠTVA JEDILNI list za okrog dva milijona petsto tisoč lačnih mož je velik problem, katerega jako dobro rešuje mlada in simpatična gospa Helen Cache-ris, ki šteje šele osemindvajset let. Ona je odgovorna za sestavo jedi, ki jih po trikrat na dan servirajo lačnim vojakom. To ni nobena malenkost, s kakršno se včasih muči kakšna gospodinja okrog svojega ognjišča. Če ni družina zadovoljna, si lahko pomaga s čim drugim, pa je zadeva rešena. Gospa Cacheris pa mora skrbeti, da predpiše jedila, ki bodo vsebovala vse za zdravje in moč potrebne snovi in da bo moštvo zadovoljno. Taki jedilni listi se ne sestavljajo vsaki dan sproti ampak za mesece naprej. Pri tem ji pomagajo Štiri ženske, ki so tudi iz-vežbane v tej znanosti prehrane. Helen pa nosi glavno skrb in odgovornost. Ona se zaveda velike odgovornosti, zato pa gre na razne kraje, kjer taborijo vojaki in tam se sama prepriča, če je na mizo postavljena hrana dobra ali ne. Nič izvanrednega ni. če nadzoruje zajtrk ob pol šestih zjutraj v veliki dvorani, polni rekrutov. Pri takih obiskih si je zapisala kaj gre vojakom v slast. Izmed rastlinstva imajo najrajši paradižnike, stročji fižol in sladko koruzo. Za špargeljne, cvetačo, repo, parsnipv Brussels sprouts in korenje se ne tepejo. Meso jim jako tekne, posebn® roast beef, steik, kuretina. Jagnjetina in ribe niso preveč priljubljena hrana. Solate vseh vrst jim dobro teknejo-Izmed močnatih jedi pa imajo najrajši jabolčni paj.
Mlada veščakinja se Je urila v kub* in izberi hrane že doma, kjer je bila velika družina lačnih otrok in mat* sama za vse delo. Pri domačem kro4'
®iku je dobila prvo dobro podlago za 'to znanost. Potem se je pa učila v Carnegie Tech šoli. Po graduaciji je nastopila službo v John Hopkins bolnišnici v Baltimore, Md. Leta 1947 Je postala glavna dijetičarka v Providence bolnišnici v Washingtonu. Leto kasneje je bila prideljena uradu Quartermaster General, kjer še danes sestavlja jedilne liste za naše voja-štvo in letalce. Helen je poročena in upamo, da je mož zadovoljen z njenimi „lunchi”.
ŽENA JE DOČAKALA 143. LETO.
Jako redki so slučaji, da človek živi preko sto let. Dobijo se pa tudi tevanredne izjeme, kakor je to bila gospa Eulalija Arrila da Perez Guillen 'Marine. Rodila se je v mali naselbini Loreta v južni Kaliforniji in stari zapiski kažejo letnico 1735. To je bilo tri leta kasneje, kakor se je rodil oče Združenih držav—George Washington.
V	tisti dobi je bilo prebivalstvo večinoma špansko in tudi Indijanska Plemena so še prosto živela v teh de-*ih Kalifornije. Diego Perez je porodil Antonijo Rosalia Cota in iz tega Zakona je prišla na svet Eulalija. Rodbina Cota je lastovala 24 tisoč akrov 8veta, ki so ga imenovali Rancho Los Cerritos. Del tega zemljišča danes ®Pada pod obmorsko mesto Long Beach. Sodeč po premoženju staršev, Je Eulalija živela v jako dobrih gmotnih razmerah. Ko ji je bilo petnajst let, pa se je zagledala v španskega Rojaka, in da sta se smela poročiti, Je bilo treba dovoljenja naravnost od vlade na Španskem. Preden je gospa Quillen postala polnoletna — 21 let — Je že bila mati peterim otrokom. Poseje se je nabralo še pet otrok, tako ^a je bilo malo časa za kakšne ■■sieste.’’ Leta 1801. se je družina J*Uillen preselila v San Gabrijel. Tu je "ila misijonska postojanka, ki je premogla sveta, kakor daleč je segal pogled in še delj. Španska vlada je bila jako vneta za tiste, ki so širili njeno kulturo in jezik v novem svetu. Ta ^isijon je tedaj štel čez tisoč prebi-alcev in gospa Guillen je tukaj po-tala voditeljica in učiteljica lepega edenja in praktičnega znanja. Njej ^re velika zasluga za blagostanje, ki ja Je tedanja postojanka uživala. Vse ® Uspevalo in napredovalo pod spret-j*®1 vodstvom te neutrudljive žene. j^ta 1814 je povila hčerko. To je bil Vanreden dogodek, ampak po zatr-*u Dr. Joseph P. Widney je tudi res-ta en- Štiri leta pozneje pa je gospa bil Postala vdova. Dejstvo, da je a zaposlena kot gospodinja na tej »tojanki, ji je pomagalo, da je lažje ebolela ta udarec. V priznanje za ene velike zasluge ji je vodstvo po-Ho!š	akrov sveta kot Veliko-
nj no darilo. Rancho San Pasqual je Aif6? del sledečih mest: Pasadena, bri a, a’ South Pasadena, San Ga-®1> Alhambra in San Marino.
Gu°n stoletnlci leta 1835 Je bila gospa Vh i	Jako	^la ln krepka žena.
aka druga bi pri takih letih mis-
lila prej na grob kakor pa na poroko. Juan Marine, španski poročnik v pokoju, je vdovo Eulalijo zasnubil in ob njeni stoletnici je stopila kot nevesta pred oltar. S to možitvijo je pridobila tri sinove, katerim je postala mačeha. Po treh letih je gospa Marine zopet postala vdova in menda ni več mislila na možitev. Preselila se je v eno staro bajto (adobe cabin) dve milji severno od misijonske postojanke. Morala je biti še precej pri moči, da si je tam sama gospodinjila. Nekdo je zvedel za to starko in bi jo bil rad razkazoval proti vstopnini po raznih mestih. Tega mu pa županstvo ni dovolilo. Mater je vzela h sebi 75-letna hči Maria del Rosario, ki je živela na San Isidro ranči, kjer je bilo dovolj prostora za to nenavadno trdno in podjetno ženo. Kakor pravijo je vsemu enkrat konec in tako je tudi to življenje začelo pešati. Uradno pa je potrjeno, da je gospa Marine preminula, ko je bila stara 143 let, leta 1878.
Mnogo je doživela in videla, ko je prišlo do sprememb v mehikanslti in španski vladi in končno, ko je dežela postala del Združenih držav. V zgodovini misijonskih postojank je omenjena kot zaslužna žena, ki je našla končni počitek na pokopališču San Gabriel Mission.
GLOKSINIJA (GLOXINIA)
J£ATERA ima rada afriške vijolice, se bo gotovo tudi zanimala za njeno sorodnico — glolcsinijo. Tudi ta je hišna cvetlica, ki ne zahteva prevelike oskrbe. Raste iz korenine in ta lahko živi leta in leta, če ravnamo pravilno z njo. Že samo perje, ki je temnozelene barve, je krasno, cvet je pa zvončast in v različnih barvah. Tudi gloksinija ljubi vlažen zrak. Držimo posodo vode nad pečjo, radijatorji ali kakršno kurjavo že imamo v hiši, kjer je ali afriška vijolica ali pa gloksinija. Lahko potresemo pesek v plošček. Tega držimo vlažnega in na njega postavimo lonček za cvetlice. Moker pesek da že dovolj vlage v ta namen. Toplota in vlaga, ki prija ljudem v stanovanjih, bo tudi gloksinijo držala zadovoljno. Občutljiva pa je zelo za plin. Skrbeti moramo, da plin nikjer ne uhaja iz peči, pa to moramo skrbeti tudi zaradi lastnega zdravja, kaj ne. Svetlobo jako ljubi, vendar pa, kadar cvete in jo držimo na oknu, ki je obrnjeno na južno stran, cvetje rado uvene, ker je premočno sonce. Pomagamo ji, da okna zasenčimo z zaveso. Umetna svetloba deluje magično na to cvetlico. Pod „flourescent” lučjo bujno cvete. Gloksinija koreninice prodajajo po trgovinah pod različnimi imeni. Etoile de Feu je živo rdeča. Violaceae je vijoličast cvet, Queen Wilhelmina cvete rožnato. Emperor Frederik je škrlatne barve z belim robom. Emperor William ima pa vijoličast cvet z belim robom. Princess Elizabeth ima plav cvet v sredini bele barve. Na trgu so tudi im-portirane koreninice, ki niso drage.
Če vsadimo koreninico meseca fe-
bruarja, potem lahko zapazimo cvetje čez štiri mesece. Koreninico, ki ima premer od enega palca in pol, vsadimo v lonček, ki meri pet palcev od roba do roba skozi sredo. V tem razmerju rabimo večji lonček, če je večja koreninica (Tuber). Zemljo, ki je nalašč za te vrste cvetlice, tudi prodajajo. Če pa doma same pripravimo zemljo, naj bo rahla, pomešana s pregnojenim perjem (leafmold). Žličko kostne moke primešamo pripravljeni zemlji. Koreninico vsadimo tri četrtine palca globoko v zemljo. Dobro zalijmo in postavimo lonček h oknu. Nočna temperatura ne sme pasti pod 60 stopinj in dnevna naj bo tudi zmerna, da ne bo zrak prevroč in presuh. Tudi gloksinija se boljše počuti, ako jo zalivamo s toplo vodo. Ne preveč, ker noče stati v vodi. Paziti moramo, da ne poškropimo perja, kadar je izpostavljeno soncu. Če se kaj takega zgodi, je boljše ako perje previdno obrišemo ali lonček postavimo proč od okna, dokler se perje ne posuši.
Gloksinija cvete po več tednov in tedaj ji ne smemo prilivati kakšnega gnojila. To bi povzročilo razpokano cvetje. Kadar zapazimo, da se doba cvetja ponehuje, jo zalivajmo bolj po malem. Ko čisto preneha cvesti, vzemimo čebulico in jo presadimo v svežo zemljo. Postavimo lonček v teman prostor, kjer ne pade toplota pod 50 stopinj. To je njen počitek, ki traja lahko po več tednov. Ves ta čas ne smemo preveč zalivati. Zemlja se ne sme posušiti v prah, samo malo naj bo vlažna, pa bo dobra čebulica. Kakor hitro zapazimo nove poganjke, pa postavimo lonček zopet h oknu in zalivajmo kakor navadno vsako lončnico.
Tudi gloksinija ima nekaj sovražnikov, ki jo napadejo, če je presuh zrak. To je skoro neviden mrčes (Thrips), ki napravi rjave pikice na stebelcu in spodnjo stran perja tako razje, da ostane samo tenka kožica na vrhu. Priporočljivo je, da potresemo lonček in čebulico, predno jo vsadimo s praškom DDT. Ta prašek potresemo tudi po vrhu zemlje v lončku. Če se mrčes pretrdovratno drži, potem je pa najcenejše vreči rastlino med smeti, da ne okužimo še drugih cvetlic, ako jih slučajno imamo pri hiši.
Nove rastlinice teh cvetlic lahko dobimo na ta način. Odrežimo zdravo, močno pero tam, kjer se drži stebelca pri kroni. V kozarec nalijemo tople vode, pokrijemo z voščenim papirjem, izrežemo malo luknjico in skozi vtaknemo pero gloksinije. Peresa lahko potaknemo tudi v čist pesek, kjer se bodo razvile koreninice. Ko zapazimo, da začne delati čebulico, rastlinico presadimo v rahlo zemljo. V času od prvega junija do sredi novembra se že razvije palec in pol debela čebulica (tuber). Lahko tudi narežemo glavno žilo v peresu in to položimo na pesek ter jo pritrdimo z vkrivljeno zaponko. Čez posodo položimo kos stekla, ki drži vlago in varje prepiha.

Št. 2, Chicago, III. — Najprej sporočam novico, ki se malokdaj sliši. Namreč fant od naše fare sv. Štefana, sedaj p. Blase Chemažar O.F.M., In sin spoštovanih staršev Mr. in Mrs. P. Chemažar je prvič opravil slovesno daritev sv. maše 14. junija ob 11:30 uri v cerkvi sv. Štefana. Po slovesnosti so farani v počast novomaš-niku priredili lep banket v novi dvorani.
Iz globine srca Ti želimo, naj Te Bog blagoslovi in da moči v Tvojem duhovniškem poklicu. Vsak stan je težak, skoraj da so življenjska pota zmeraj bolj posuta s trnjem kakor pa s cvetjem. S tem se Ti bo pletla krona v nebesih. Torej:
Novomašnik bod’ pozdravljen, od Boga si nam poslan.
Zadnji mesec se ni vršila seja, ker Podpredsednica Leona Gregorin ni bila navzoča zaradi bolezni. Iz srca ti želimo zdravja, kakor vsem drugim, katere se nahajate bolane, in se ne morete poveseliti v naši družbi.
Akoravno ni bilo seje, so vseeno Članice praznovale svoj „birthday Party”. Zato je skrbela Mrs. Mae Fabjan. Mrs. Baskovec je prinesla krasen kejk (birthday cake), na katerem se prižgejo svečke. Mrs. Puhek in Mrs. Kure pa vsaka zelo okusen kejk. Mrs. Umek dobrega vina za čaj, da M bil tako slab, Mrs. Demša kofeta 'h mleka. Tako, drage sestre, če ni-naamo seje, je pa družabna zabava, in zmeraj odganjamo dolgčas.
Naša tajnica me je prosila, naj malo °Pomnim naše članice, da bi se ponujale in poravnale članarino. V glavnem uradu so bili državni pregledovalci in so naročili, da se opomni vse Podružnice za točnost plačevanja. Torej prosim in upoštevajte, da ne bodo kakšne zapreke in sitnosti.
Prav vljudno vabim vse članice na Prihodnjo sejo, katera se vrši 9. julija, ker je dosti razmotrivanja zaradi roganja v Lemont, ki se vrši 19. julija. Tam je v resnici tako nebeško lepo, se daruje sv. maša pod milim nekom, prepevajo Marijine pesmi, ter tisti vzdihi, ki jih ljudstvo tako Iz Sfca pošilja proti nebu do Matere Marije. Snideš se s prijateji in jim segaš v desnico, ko se morebiti že leta leta nista videla, ker ta dan se °®o skupaj zbrali in bomo kakor ena družina.
Prav srčne pozdrave članicam Si* r°m Amerike in na svidenje na seji.
Frances Zibert, zapisnikarica
St. 3; Pueblo, Colo. — V mesecu aju smo imele bolj pičlo udeležbo a sej| ZatQ smo ge navzoge toliko ec zabavale. Naše članice so pri-j ®sle toliko dobrih jestvin, da smo < , le celo „ohcet'\ Vsega je preostalo za piti in jesti.
V	blag spomin našim umrlim sestram smo prižgale svečke in zapele „Vigred se povrne.” Bil je zelo ganljiv prizor.
Na programu je bilo še več točk v čast Materinskega dne:	kot petje,
godba in štirje harmonikarji. Veste, da je bilo luštno. Počastile smo najstarejšo članico, našo spoštovano Frances Lesar, in najmlajšo mater, Elsie Medonich. Oddanih je bilo še več daril.
Isti večer je bila prirejena tudi od-hodnica za naš izlet v domovino. Tako smo jaz in sopotnice priljubljene. Zasluga za to gre predvsem Mary Papež, Frances Golob, Mary Mishmash in še drugim, katere so vse to lepo uredile. V imenu vseh naših izletnic, katerih je lepo število: Mr. in Mrs. John Pachak, Mr. in Mrs. John Erjavec, Frances Glavich, Mary Dolgan, Josephine E. Stanko, Frances Verbich, Natalija Dovgan in njen 16 letni sin Somon J., se prav lepo zahvalim. Prav ponosna sem na našo skupino, ki odpotuje.
Zelo lep uspeh smo imele pri prodaji listkov za naš „Cedar Chest”. Naša blagajna se je povečala za $800.53. V zahvalo smo darovale $200.00 za našo novo cerkev, katere delo se hitro vrši pod spretnim vodstvom domačega stavbenika, Albert Jeršina. Bog povrni vsem, ki ste darovale lepe dobitke in prodajale listke. Hvaležne smo vsem, ki ste pridno pomagale v prid podružnici. — Sestra Anna Germ iz Lake ave. je zelo spretna za pomagat, torej sprejmi izkaze hvaležnosti za tvojo prijaznost. Margie Jamnick se ne da opisati, kako je dobrosrčna: koliko lepih ročno izdelanih torbic in potic nam vedno daruje za našo zabavo. Ko vprašam za plačilo, mi pravi: to je vse za boglonaj. Draga sestra Jamnik! Bog ti podeli mnogo zdravja in božjega blagoslova za tvoje truda-polno delo do naše tako spoštovane podružnice SŽZ.
Težki operaciji sta prestali sestri: Mary Škufca in Katie Krašovec. Ponovno so pa v bolnišnici: Mary Pavlovec, Anna Tekavec in Mary Kocman. Res ne vemo, kdaj pride božje povelje, ki nas položi v bolniško posteljo. Sestre, obiščite bolne sosestre.
Zadet od mrtvouda je umrl Frank Janež, oče naše podpredsednice Margaret Tomich, ki je bila ob času smrti sama zelo bolna. Vse sosestre naše podružnice ti izražamo toplo sožalje, pokojnemu pa naj Bog podeli večni raj.
Za v slovo prirejenem okusnem kosilu se v svojem kakor tudi v imenu soproga, Mr. in Mrs. John Erjavec, prav lepo zahvalim Mr. in Mrs. John Centa. Take pojedine nismo pričakovali. Zahvalo naj sprejmejo tudi moja sestra Mary in soproga Jim Pugel (hvala ti za dobro „župco”), John in
Johana Pauček, Anton in Johana Pritekel, John in Johana Skull, Rose in John Schneider, Teresa Fear, družina mojega sina Bill in Elsie Pachak. Vaša postrežba in prijaznost nam ostane vedno v prijateljskem spominu. Hvala tudi odbornicam naše podružnice, katere so me za odhodnico ljubeznivo okrasile s šopkom krasnih cvetlic, kakor tudi Mary Kukar za darilo. Spomin, kateri ne bo nikdar pozabljen.
Ko smo se poslavljali na železniški postaji za odhod proti naši rojstni domovini, Sloveniji, in v druge različne dežele, smo vsi v duhu prepevali pesmico: ,,Adijo, pa zdrava ostani, podaj mi še enkrat roko,” ter si želeli, da bi se vsi srečni in pomlajeni vrnili, gpolni krasnih spominov na domači zemlji. Posebno pozdravljamo glavno tajnico Albino Novak, glavno blagajničarko Josephine Železnikar, kateri bosta med nami. Želimo zdravje in mnogo razvedrila tudi vsem drugim obiskovalcem, s katerimi se gotovo snidemo.
Predno končam, sporočam moje tople čestitke za rojstni dan 21. junija naši častni predsednici in ustanoviteljici, gospe Marie Prisland. Tudi mami A. Križman izročam moje skromne vrstice spoštovanja za 75. rojstni dan. Zbogom vsi, sprejmite mojo ljubezen in spoštovanje.
Anna Pachak
Št. 5, Indianapolis, Ind. — Najprej
vas vse najlepše pozdravljam. Prav tako tudi vse tiste, ki se nahajate v domovini Jugoslaviji. Upam in želim, da se imate prav dobro.
Spominjam se, kako je bilo lansko leto tačas nekaj mesecev med svojci in prijatelji v starem kraju. Res lepo je svidenje, ali ločitev je pa žalostna, ker človek ne ve: ali se še kedaj vidimo. Upam, da se zopet snidemo, ako nam Bog da zdravje. Drage sestre izletnice, spominjale se vas bomo na Ameriških Brezjah v Le-montu.
Naj tudi omenim, da smo spet izgubile iz naše srede eno izmed dobrih in ljubečih mater in našo tajnico, ki je komaj nekaj mesecev uradovala. Nikdo ni mislil, da je tako hudo bolna in nas bo tako hitro zapustila. Komaj dobra dva meseca je bila doma, prej je še vedno hodila v službo. Pogrešale te bomo, ljuba Mary, naj ti bo Bog plačnik za vsa dobra dela. Počivaj v miru. Njeni družini pa naše globoko sožalje.
Njeno mesto je prevzela Mrs. Mary Markič, tajnica, in Mrs. Antonia Bayt pa je blagajničarka. Nimamo pa še zapisnikarico. Članice ste prošene, da se udeležite seje na 4. nedeljo v juliju ob 2. uri popoldne v Slov. Narodnem domu.
Vas pozdravlja
Julka Zupančič
ISKRENO SOŽALJE
Prvega junija letos je nagle smrti preminul rodoljub, časnikar in ravnatelj radio programa,
MR. RADO F. STAUT
v Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Mr. Staut je bil rojen v Ljubljani. V Ameriko je dospel leta 1921. V Milwaukee je osem let pozneje pričel izdajati list „JUGOSLOVENSKI OBZOR”, meseca avgusta leta 1938 pa pričel s slovenskim radio programom, katerega je skozi 15 let redno nadaljeval vsako nedeljo.
Mr. Staut je bil dober prijatelj Slovenske Ženske Zveze, katere članica je njegova soproga Marica že nad 20 let. — Soprogi in sinu pokojnega izrekamo naše srčno sožalje.
V spomin in zadnje slovo našim umrlim rojakom in rojakinjam je Mr. Staut neštetokrat po radiju podal znano žalo-stinko. Žal, da mora biti ta ganljiva pesmica poklonjena zdaj tudi njemu:
Vigred se povrne, vse se oživi;
Al’ prijatelj več ne vrne se, v mirnem grobu spi.
Marie Prisland
Št. 7, Forest City, Pa. — Poročati imam žalostno vest, da je preminula naša članica Mary Medved. Članice smo jo lepo spremile na njeni zadnji poti. Molile smo sveti rožni venec ob njeni krsti in smo darovale lep šopek rož in za eno slovesno sveto mašo v dušni blagor pokojnice. Tukaj zapušča štiri sinove, eden je pri vojakih, dva sta oženjena in eden je pa doma; eno hčer, Mrs. Charles Zaveral, Ho-nesdale, Pa.; ter sestro, to je našo blagajničarko Rose Kotar. Preostalim globoko sožalje, njena duša pa naj v miru počiva. Spominjale se jo bomo v molitvi.
Na seji meseca maja smo imele lepo udeležbo. Proslavile smo Materinski dan. Vse navzoče so bile veselega razpoloženja, tako da je hitro potekla proslava Materinskega dne. Pogrešale smo sestro Mrs. John Janežič, ki je bila nekoliko bolna in si je morala Iskati zdravje v bolnišnici. Sedaj je na potu okrevanja, kar ji vsi želimo.
Ker je bila na naši majniški seji velika udeležba, smo nabirale prostovoljne prispevke za naše Ameriške Brezje v Lemontu in poslale na glavni urad, kakor je bilo naročeno. Vsota je bila $10.00, katero so darovale naše dobre članice. Bog vam stotero povrni in Marija Lemontska.
Čestitke Mrs. Anna Mlklowcic, ki je postala prvikrat mama svojemu sinčku, in ga je že vpisala v našo Zvezo. S tem je postala Mrs. Mary Miklowcic prvič stara mama. Stare mame so zopet postale naše članice: Mrs. Gertrude Urbas, Maggie Kamin in Frances Lauriha. Čestitke vsem skupaj.
—	Ena članica me je opozorila: lej, lej, samo drugim čestitaš, ali nisi tudi stara mama, pa da res ne bodete mislile, da sem kaka mlada punca: imam 14 vnukov in vnukinj. Ko bi bili vsi vpisani v našo Zvezo, bi bila ena podružnica več. Pa še podpisani čestitke, no? Ha, ha!
Več naših članic je bolanih in upam, ko bodete ta dopis brale, bo že vroče sonce pripekalo in se bodo tudi bolne članice boljše počutile.
Vsem tistim, ki so se podale v staro domovino, želim srečno potovanje in zdravo vrnitev nazaj v obljubljeno deželo.
Anna Kameen, predsednica
Št. 12, Milwaukee, Wise. — Vse članice lepo pozdravljam in vabim na našo prihodnjo sejo dne 2. septembra pri Louise Šeruga.
Na bolniški listi sta članici: Caroline Skrubey in Mary Groso. Želimo jima skorajšnje zdravje. — Izgubili pa smo zopet dve članici: Elizabeth Sedmak, ki je zapustila moža, hčer, dva sinova, zeta in dve snahi. V stari domovini pa dve sestri. Pokojna je bila teta od Rev. Milan Kopushar v Nebraski. Druga umrla je Julia BIstan, ki je zapustila dve hčeri, dva sinova, enajst vnukov in vnukinj, dva zeta ter snaho. Naj bo obema lahka ameriška zemlja, preostalim pa našo sožalje. Hvala vsem članicam, ki so se udeležile pogrebov.
Sedaj so počitnice. S tem pa ni rečeno, da ni treba v tem času plačevati asesmenta, ker tudi jaz moram točno pošiljati prispevke v glavni
urad. — Zahvaljujem se sestram: Antonia Sušnik, Anne Grahek, Anne-Budish in Josephine Jakllch, ki so prinesle stvari na sejo in s tem pomagale ročni blagajni.
Vsem članicam, ki praznujete rojstni dan in god v juliju, vse najboljše.
Kampanja je v teku: Vsaka članica-naj pridobi eno novo!
Pozdrav vsem glavnim uradnicam in-članicam Zveze, posebno pa pri podružnici št. 12.
Mary Schimenz, tajnica
Št. 15, Cleveland (Newburgh), Ohio~
Prav luštno je bilo na majniški seji. Hvala vsem, ki so posetile to sejo. Mrs. A. Stopar je nas obdarila s svežimi cvetlicami (tulipani) iz njenega krasnega vrta. Obenem smo se poslovile od dragih sosester, katere so se-podale v rodno domovino. Naše kuharice, sestre G. Češek in F. Sraj šopa spekle okusne potice, za kar sm» jim vse hvaležne.
Na tej seji smo sklenile, da v poletnem času ne bo seje. Prva jesenska seja bo 9. septembra in tako bomo-imele do takrat počitnice pri podružnici. Imele bomo več časa za Marijina božja pota. Bodimo Bogu hvaležne za vse to.
Sedaj pa nadaljevanje od “card' party”. Imena članic, katere so darovale predpasnike za nagrade pri mizah, so: Mrs. Jordanek, V. Škufca,. R. Vatovec, R. Perko, M. Novak, M. Ozimek, J. Gross, F. Stepich, M. Janežič, J. Barle, A. Čeme. Vseh predpasnikov je bilo darovanih skupaj 38. Za „door-prize” pa:	J.	Trsinar,	R,
Lausche, V. Škufca, M. Filipovič, Helen Zupančič. Helen Mirtel je pa preskrbela za kofe in vse kar spada k-temu zraven. V denarju so darovale: F. Suhadolnik, E. Vatovec, J. Gliha,-Fr. Gliha. Pecivo so darovale:	A.
Černe, M. Ozimek, M. Filipovič, G. Cešek, F. Sraj, A. Stražar, R. Lausche,-J. Uduč, A. Jakič.
Če je po pomoti katero Ime izpuščeno, prosim, da se mi to oprosti.
Še enkrat hvala vsem članicam in drugim, kateri so kaj darovali in pomagali do tako lepega uspeha.
Sledeče članice praznujejo rojstne-dneve: podpredsednica Theresa Lekan, Helen Mirtel, Mary Cesar, Antonija Kozar. Vsem, katere praznujete ta mesec rojstni dan, želimo, da bi jib še mnogo dočakale.
Naša bivša blagajničarka Verona in soprog Anton Škufca sta praznovala 31. maja svojo 40 letnico srečnega in zadovoljnega zakonskega življenja. Številni prijatelji so se zbrali v Slov. nar. domu na 80. cesti, da jima čestitajo in želijo, da bi dočakala zlato poroko. Bog vaju živi!
Bolne so sledeče naše članice: Mrs. Železnik, Mary Jernejčič, Elsie Turk, Mrs. Lupšina, Mrs. Kresevič. Vsem bolnim želimo ljubo zdravje in da bi kmalu okrevale.
Najlepši pozdrav vsem našim dobrosrčnim članicam In prijateljem! Bog * vami.

BALADA 0 ČEŠNJAH
(Ljubljana, v juniju.)
Nedelja.
Zgoden sončen popoldan.
Odločili smo se: skoz Tivoli po Večni poti okrog Rožnika in spet nazaj skoz Tivoli... (Za celodnevni izlet kamor koli izven Ljubljane — vlak, avtobus itd. — ni denarja, kot bi mignil, si ob 500.— din, od kod bi si jih utrgal?)
Gremo čez glavni trg mimo stolnice. Gneča, kakor vsako nedeljo ...
Vrsti se stojnica za stojnico z grmadami prelepih, vabljivo dozorelih češenj. Okrog njih je prazno... čudno... Ali so se jih nemara ljudje že do sitega najedli?
Branjevke glasno ponujajo češnje mimoidočim.
Povsod je vidna cena: din 56.—.
Univerzitetni profesor, njegova žena in jaz poželjivo Pogledujemo v sočnate rdeče kupe... In si damo duška z nekaj pikrimi opazkami na račun nedolžno izzivajočih češenj, ki jih stražari din 56.—, okrutno nepristopnih našim žepom.
Nazadnje se pošalim: „Ti, tovariš univerzitetni profesor, si menda zadosti velik .gospod’, da bi si jih lahko Privoščil?”
Namesto njega odgovori njegova žena: ,,Bil je krvavo Potreben nove obleke — odplačevati moramo dvajset tisočakov na obroke” — ter mi našteje še nekaj podobnih.
Pomislila sem: zakonski par brez otrok!
Kako pa tisti, ki imajo po dva, tri ali še več otrok? — ne glede na otroške doklade.
Koliko je v Ljubljani mater, ki lahko prinesejo s trga svojim otrokom po kilogram češenj na dan?
Račun je čist: če bi nad nami sijalo tropsko sonce, bi bila zadnja moda— golota in bosota in vsi otroci bi imeli dovolj češenj in vsega, kar je potrebno za zdrav, krepak fizični in duševni razvoj mladega človeka.
Poznam študentko, ki je bila vso zimo lačna jabolk, Pomaranč in kaj še vsega, kar se je v izobilju vsepovsod Ponujalo, kakor se zdaj češnje, ki jih je prav tako lačna...
Koliko je v Ljubljani marljivih študentk in študentov (da ne omenjam brezkončnega števila drugih državljanov!), ki bi si mogli privoščiti, če ne po cel   pa vsaj
Po pol kilograma češenj na dan?
Eh, kaj bi! Študirajoča mladina živi že od same mladosti, učenosti, ljubezenskih sanj ter upov na lepšo in boljšo prihodnost...
Zdravje? Vitamini A, B, C? (mleko 30! surovo maslo 540! sir 400!) Prazne marnje!
*	* *
In druga stran medalje:
V	izložbi kupček lepih zdravih češenj.
Cena din 26.—
Je li mogoče?
Človek bodi vselej in povsod umirjen, dostojanstven! In zato ne planem v trgovino s sadjem in zelenjavo, marveč lepo mirno, kakor se spodobi, stopim noter. Pogledam češnje v zaboja:
„Kaj, te češnje so po 26.—?”
Ogledam si jih še natančneje.
„V izložbi so zdrave, te so pa dodobra nagnite!” Zadrega — molk.
Sicer pa smo se temu že zdavnaj privadili: na glavnem trgu na primer so kupi sadja spredaj in na vrhu lepi in zdravi kar se da; veseliš se svežega, sočnega plodu, ki ti ga branjevka odtehta izpod kupa; ko pa prideš domov, bolj žalostna kot jezna, ugotoviš, da nisi dobila tisto, kar si za drag denar želela kupiti. Bila si grdo prevarana. Samo po sebi se vsili vprašanje: kaj naj pravzaprav pomeni lep izrek: ..Trgovska solidnost in poštenje”?
Za mano se v trgovini v hipu nabere kakih deset ljudi, ogledajo si češnje in — odidejo.
Jaz pa malce postojim — s pogledom uprtim v vrsto, visoko pod strop naloženih zabojev s češnjami.
„Kaj so tudi tiste češnje take kot te?”
Da, niti en zaboj ni bil kaj boljši.
Pa vprašam dalje — menda poslovodjo:
„Kako to, da se je toliko češenj pokvarilo in jih pokvarjene prodajate?”
Molk.
Zapustim trgovino.
Z žalostjo v srcu razmišljam: Takele češnje so dobre kvečjemu za kokoši in prašiče; kako si jih upajo prodajati državljanom socialistične Jugoslavije?
Št. 16, So. Chicago, III. — Naše seje 80 jako lepo obiskane, pa vseeno bi želela še večjo udeležbo, ker se lahko Več dobrega ukrene. Pregovor pravi: v®č glav več ve.
Na zadnji seji smo praznovale rojstni dan naše dobre podpredsednice ®*rs. Josephine Kralj. Bog Vas živi in ohrani še mnogo let zdravo in veselo. Prinesla je velik jabolčni zvitek, tako ®a smo vse imele zadosti pri dobrem ^ofetku, katerega nam vedno skuha naša blagajničarka Mrs. Anna Buck. Pna bo pa praznovala v juliju kakor naša vesela in vedno pripravljena delo, zapisnikarica Anna Sprin-ger- Kako je lepo, ko pridejo kar tri generacije na sejo iz ene družine, kaj takega nimate pri vsaki podružnici.
Ko prebiram Zarjo in vidim koliko naših članic in drugih gre na obisk v domovino, ml misli uhajajo na lan-®^o leto, ko sem se jaz pripravljala. *^ako hitro poteka čas tam med do-jnačim^ da človek ne ve, kdaj mineta sta dva meseca in je treba misliti odhod. Koliko bi se še radi pogo-°riii, pa zadnje dneve kar beseda ne Iz ust, kar v grlu se nekaj za-akne, ko človek pomisli: Bog ve, ali e kdaj vidimo? Ker pot je dolga
in stroški veliki, ali ljubezen do svojih vse premaga.
Letos bo pa šla naša tajnica Gladys Buck z bratom in njegovo ženo ter njih hčerkico Barbaro. Zelo jo bomo pogrešali, ko je tako vestna in delavna, a obenem ji privoščimo malo oddiha. Šli bodo z avtom, da si bodo več ogledali v kratkem času. Le oglejte si vse, ker tam se časi hitro spreminjajo, hvala Bogu, da na boljše, saj so dosti prestali v zadnjih letih.
Na obisku pri starših je bila Silvija Spretnjalc. Ona služi Strica Sama in je zelo zadovoljna, in dobro izgleda. Naša podružnica je ponosna nanjo, kakor na vso družino Spretnjakovo, ki so vse z materjo naše članice.
Za časa odsotnosti naše tajnice, to je meseca avgusta, septembra in oktobra, bodo naše seje na domu pri Buc-kovih, naslov 1003G Ave L.
Pozdrav vsem!
Katie
Št. 21, Cleveland (West Park), Ohio.
—	Prekrasni majnik, ki je bil posvečen naši ljubi Materi Mariji, je že minil. Sedaj je mesec junij, posvečen Presv. Srcu Jezusovemu. O, da bi ga
bili vredni častiti, ko nas je tako ljubilo, da je dalo življenje za nas.
Zadnja seja je bila prav vesela. Zvesto smo poslušale Cecilijo Brodnik, kako bo ona izpeljala naš banket in koncert. Prav lepa hvala njej, kakor tudi tajnici Stela Danculovich. Upam, da bo vse dobro izpadlo.
Sestra Roza Kovač je pripeljala dve novi članici in želim, da bi se dobro počutili med nami.
Končno želim vsem bolnim članicam hitro okrevanje, tistim pa, ki obhajate medtem rojstni dan, vse najboljše ter še mnogo zdravih in srečnih let.
Danes vam poročam, drage sestre, o naši proslavi 25 letnice, ki je prav dobro izpadla. Zasluga za to gre predvsem sestri Ceciliji Brodnik, ki je vodila ves program in pa tajnici Stela Danculovich.
Najprej so bile predstavljene na odru naše ustanovne članice, nakar je sledil „Spomin mrtvim članicam”. Prizor je bil do solz ganljiv. Vse članice smo imele pripete krasne bele nageljne, pevci pa rdeče. Ti so nam zapeli pod vodstvom Mr. Schublja zelo lepe pesmi, da jih je bilo veselje poslušati. Tako že dolgo nismo uživali.
Prav lepa hvala Mr. Schubel in vsem pevcem.
Da je bilo dovolj za jesti, je skrbela sestra Frances Tilis. Mize so bile polne potic, krofov in pečenih kokoši. Pomagale pa so še sestre: Kovach, Blatnik, Pozelnik, Strzir, Zeman, Gar-stek, Drakman, Telicijan in Lenkar. Za žejne je pa skrbela sestra Frances Kozel, ki je postregla z izvrstnim vinom. Dvorano sta okinčala sestra Mary Hariter in njen mož.
Vsem prav lepa hvala za požrtvovalno sodelovanje, prav tako tudi tisti sestri, ki sem jo mogoče pozabila zapisati.
Končno hvala tudi vsem članicam drugih podružnic in vsem, ki so se udeležili te naše lepe proslave!
Vas vse prav lepo pozdravljam.
Frances Kave, poročevalka
Št. 24, Oglesby, III. — V mesecih juniju in juliju nismo imele seje in bo prihodnja zopet 3. avgusta, v ponedeljek zvečer, ki jo bomo začele po tolikem času. Zatorej ste vse lepo vabljene, da se je udeležite. Na seji bomo imele več stvari za razmotri-
Mr. in Mrs. Koželj
Cleveland, Ohio. — Kako velika sreča za mnoge družine, ko dočakata oče in mati zlato poroko in isto praznujeta v družbi svojih odraslih otrok in še celo tretjo in četrto generacijo!
V	zadnjih par letih beremo o teh lepih dogodkih in naša srca so vesela vsake slične novice.
Dne 27. aprila 1953 sta praznovala svoj veličasten dan, zlato poroko, zakonca Anton in Alojzija Koželj z 1154
E.	61st St., Cleveland 3, Ohio. V Ameriko sta dospela že pred 50 leti. Anton je prišel leta 1901 in Lojzka je pa prišla leta 1902. Poroka se je pa vršila v cerkvi Sv. Vida, ko je bil za
vati. Predvsem o naši proslavi 25 letnice ustanovitve naše podružnice, ki se bo vršila tretjo nedeljo v oktobru. Pripravljamo lepo igro v 3 dejanjih. Torej članice, ne izgovarjajte se, da ne morete, ali da nimate časa, pomagajte, da bomo imele več uspeha, ker brez vaše pomoči ga ne moremo doseči.
Zopet moram poročati žalostno novico, da je na hitro preminula in v Gospodu zaspala 31. maja sestra Josephine Jančer. Zvečer je še zalivala rože in ko se je okoli 10. ure odpravljala k počitku, je nenadoma preminula. Pokojnica je bila naša dobra članica, ki ni nikdar odrekla ali odklonila kakšne reči in dela. Za vsako stvar je imela dobro besedo. Imela je veličasten pogreb ob veliki udeležbi. Molile smo za pokojnico sveti rožni venec ob krsti in se udeležile svete maše-zadušnice in pogreba.
Pokojna sestra zapušča dve hčeri, Frances Jančer in Alojzija (vdova), nečakinjo, sestro Alojzijo Kerne v Oglesby, in brata Joe Gergovič v La Salle. V stari domovini zapušča pa brata in sestro. Naše globoko sožalje družini in sorodnikom, pokojno pa
župnika še živeči Monsignor Vitus Hribar, 27. aprila 1903.
Zdaj pa malo zgodovine o slavljencih. Anton Koželj je doma iz vasi Luče v fari Žalna. Ko je prišel v Ameriko kot mlad fant, je takoj dobil delo težaka v Otis Steli tovarni, ki je sedaj Jones and Laughlin. Vsa leta je bil izvrsten delavec in to mu je pomagalo, da je bil postavljen za nad-strojevodja še pred 25 leti in se nahaja v pokoju že od leta 1946.
Lojzka Koželj, dekliško ime Sadar, je pa doma iz vasi Klečet v Šmihel-ski fari pri Žužemberku in v Ameriko je prišla v starosti 18 let. Ona je vzorna mati ter zelo skrbna žena, ki lastuje največji božji dar: prijazno in dobrosrčno vedenje. V zakonu se je rodilo osem otrok. Umrl je eden in šest jih živi v Clevelandu in ena hčerka Anne, ki je napravila šolo bolničarke, je si pa ustvarila svoj dom v Honolulu.
Vsi otroci so dobili najboljšo šolsko izobrazbo in to jim je pomagalo, da imajo vsi zelo dobre službe in so v vseh ozirih dobri družabniki kot tudi vredni meščani mesta Cleveland. Ako premislimo, koliko sta ta dva človeka doprinesla tej veliki Ameriki s svojimi pridnimi rokami in neustrašljivo dobro voljo, potem lahko s ponosom rečemo, da smo Slovenci zelo mnogo doprinesli k velikemu razvoju Amerike.
Sestra Koželj je zvesta članica podružnice št. 25. Bog daj, da bi družina Koželj še dolgo let bila blagoslovljena z zdravjem in da bi starši dočakali diamantno poroko. Živeli!
ohranimo v blagem spominu.
Sožalje izrekam tudi naši članici Frances Baznik nad izgubo njene matere Frances Komačar, ki je preminula v lepi starosti. Nadalje tudi sestri Mary Brate nad izgubo njenega očeta. Ludvik Hohman. Tudi on je doživel lepo starost.
Vsem pokojnim naj sveti večna luč in naj počivajo v miru.
Teta štorklja se je oglasila pri sestri Mr. in Mrs. Viljem Vengler in jim pustila hčerko. Nadalje tudi pri Mr. in Mrs. Stanley Kašek. Tudi tam je pustila hčerko. Staršem in malčkoma želimo ljubo zdravje.
Vsem članicam, ki so pod zdravniško oskrbo, želimo pa skorajšnje okrevanje.
članice, ki so dolžne pri svojem asesmentu, prosim, da pridejo na moj dom in poravnajo svoj dolg.
Pozdravljene vse članice SŽZ. v Ameriki'
Angela Strukel, tajnica
ZAHVALA
Najlepša hvala za tako nepopisno krasen „party”, katerega ste ml priredili ob 75 letnici mojega rojstva.
Hvala mojim hčerkam in sinovom, kakor tudi njihovim soprogam in vsem vnukinjam in vnukom, nadalje vsem ostalim sorodnikom in prijateljem, kateri so mi dali tako lepa darila in krasne „birthday”-kartice.
Ta lepi dan ml bo ostal vtisnjen v mojem srcu do konca mojega življenja.
Srečna se čutim, da sem dočakala toliko lepih let svoje starosti, in da še lahko vidim moje odrasle otroke in že tudi njihove družine. Isto sem srečna, da se je odzvalo tako lepo število prijateljev z čestitkami in darili.
Nepozabljen bo ta lepi šopek cvetlic, okrašen z denarskim tolarjem. Še enkrat srčna hvala.
Želim vam vsem mnogo, mnogo let zdravja, zadovoljnosti, sreče In uspeha.
Angela Križman
Št. 26, Pittsburgh, Pa. — V maju
smo imele prav lepo udeležbo na naši seji, kar pomeni zanimanje naSih zvestih članic.
Na naših sejah je zmeraj prav prijazno. Ko je seja končana, igramo igro samo za kratek čas, potem imamo kofe in kejlc. Maja meseca sta nam postregli z dobrimi kejkl Mrs. Mary Bahor in Mrs. Johana Cestnik. Bog vaju živi še mnoga leta zdrave in vesele. „Door prize” je dobila Mary Bahor.
Prijazno ste vabljene vse članice, da se udeležite mesečnih sej. Vam ne bo žal, vse tiste, ki ste zaostale na mesečnem asesmentu, ste naprošene, da
SLAVLJENCA ZLATE POROKE
V veselem razpoloženju slavijo konec kegljaške sezone v Pittsburgu, Pa., sledeče odbornice in kegljačice: Sedeče: Barbi Bubaš, Anna Frankovic, Mary Coghe, Anna Trontal, Mary Racic, Jennie Ferentchak; stoječe: Veronica Senfner, Mary Cvetas, Josephine Seles, Jennie Tomsic, Josephine Jergel, Christine Basa, Josephine Sker-•°ng, Anna J.

Tiste, ki ste zaposlene z delom in ne morete na sejo, lahko pošljete ases-roent na moj dom, ali me pokličete po telefonu in mi poveste, kdaj imate denar na rokah. Bom tudi prišla na Vaš dom.
Dne 14. maja mi je umrl starejši sin v starosti 48 let in 10 mesecev. Zahvaljujem se vsem našim članicam, sosedom in vsem mojim prijateljem in Prijateljicam, ki ste prišli kropit mojega sina na mrtvaškem odru in darovali za svete maše in cvetlice. Bog vam stotero povrni.
Dne 7. junija sva šli v Cleveland z Mrs. Agnes Klobuchar obiskat našo dobro prijateljico Cecilio Bradish iz Colorado, ki je bila pri svoji hčeri na Počitnicah v Woodland ave. v Clevelandu, Ohio. Imeli sva par ur lepega razvedrila in najboljšo postrežbo od vse družine. Najlepša hvala za vesele Ur®, ki sva jih preživeli v vaši družbi.
Hvala tudi Vam, Mrs. Klobuchar, Sakaj brez Vas ne bi bilo nič.
Bog vas živi vse skupaj! Vsem sestram, ki ste se podale v prelepo domovino na obisk, želim najboljšo zabavo, srečno potovanje in vesel povratek.
Pozdravljam vse članice SŽZ.
Mary Coghe, tajnica
Št. 32, Euclid, Ohio. — Junij je tu, zelo lep mesec. Ko to pišem, je toliko cvetočih vrtnic zunaj, posebno po Euclidu, da kamor se oko ozre, povsod „gartrože” zazre. Lep čas je pa tudi za nabiranje novih članic, le malo se je treba potruditi, pa bo gotovo uspeh.
Na junijski seji je bila bolj majhna udeležba, in ker julija nimamo seje, ste prošene, da pridete v toliko večjem številu na sejo v mesecu avgustu.
Pri Margaret Turk se je prvič oglasila štorklja in pustila deklico. S tem je postala naša predsednica Terezija Potokar trinajstič stara mati. Naše čestitke na vse strani in da bi bilo zdravo. — Marija Novak je tudi postala že šestič stara mati. Enako čestitke.
Ana Stariha je šla na obisk v domovino. Da bi se le dobro zabavala in srečno povrnila.
Marija Bukovec je izgubila moža. Umil je 15. maja. Naše iskreno sožalje, pokojnemu pa večni mir.
Jennie Pink, naša prva predsednica, je dala lep dar v ročno blagajno, (5 dolarjev). Ona že dolgo ne more z doma radi bolezni. Gotovo bo vesela, če jo katera obišče.
Vsem našim bolnim članicam želimo ljubega zdravja, drugim pa, da bi imele lepo poletje. Tistim pa, ki so šle na potovanje, da se vse srečno vrnejo in na svidenje prvi petek v avgustu na seji.
Pozdravljene! Vaša poročevalka Frances Perme
Št. 33, Duluth, Minn. — Meseca junija je bilo sklenjeno, da bomo imele počitnice. Torej ne bo seje julija in avgusta. V septembru se bomo pa zopet zbrale skupaj. Upam, da ne boste pozabile, da mora biti asesment plačan vsaki mesec, ako imamo seje ali ne.
Poročati vam moram, da je naša podružnica darovala 5 dolarjev za slovensko semenišče v Argentini in 5 dolarjev za Lemont. Ako boste imele srečo, boste lahko videle v Lemontu, kakšen bo spomenik od SŽZ.
Vreme smo imeli tukaj vedno mrzlo do 10. junija, in je bilo treba vedno „furnaze” kuriti.
Najlepše pozdrave vsem članicam Slovenske ženske zveze.
Mary Schubitz
Št. 33, New Duluth, Minn. — Dobila sem pismo iz starega kraja, kjer mi sestrična sporoča, da je umrla Skon-čarjeva gospa v visoki starosti 83 let. Vem, da jo je dosti ljudi poznalo, ker je imela veliko gostilno v vasi Podgorica pri Ribnici. — Tudi sestra mojega moža, Elizabeth Skul, iz Udje pri Grosuplju, je umrla za posledicami opeklin, ki jih je dobila pri vnetju obleke. Bog jima daj večni mir in pokoj.
Pri naši podružnici so sledeče članice na bolniški listi: Mrs. Johanna Škul in Mrs. Frank Rort, ki sta srečno prestali operacijo, in pa Mrs. John Morsich. Bog daj vsem skorajšnje zdravje.
Vse žene in dekleta, ki še niste članice SŽZ., vabim, da pristopite k naši podružnici. Sedaj je primeren čas.
Lep pozdrav vsem članicam in Zvezi!
Frances Boben
Št. 41, Cleveland (Colllnwood), Ohio.
Zadnja seja ni bila preveč dobro obiskana, lepo bi bilo, ako bi pričele v lepšem številu posečati naše seje ter podale razna koristna priporočila za lepši napredek podružnice.
Prisrčna hvala sestri Mary Markel, ki nas je domov grede pogostila s sladoledom.
7.	junija smo se udeležile proslave
25	letnice podružnice št. 21. Bilo je vse izvrstno, najprej smo bile postrežene z izborno večerjo, za tem se je razvil lep program. Predstavljene so bile ustanoviteljice podružnice, katerih je še kar lepo število, steber teh je Mrs. Mary Hosta, ki je kljub rahlemu zdravju še vedno vneta predsednica podružnice. Pri vodstvu podružnice so seveda tudi ostale odbornice vse pridne delavke. Vsem skupaj naše iskrene čestitke k srebrnemu jubileju, in želimo še mnogo lepih uspehov.
Kruta smrt je zopet posegla v družine naših sester. Kar nanagloma se je preselil v večnost Frank Pakiž, soprog sestre Louise Pakiž. Pokojni zapušča tudi sina. — Za tem se je raznesla žalostna vest, da je preminul splošno znani in spoštovani pogrebnik Joseph Žele, starejši oče sestre Justine Girod, In stari oče Juliane in Janice Girod, ki sta obe članici mladinskega oddelka. Poleg omenjenih žalujejo za pokojnim: dva sina, hčer in več vnukov. — Po večletnem bole-
Mr. in Mrs. Louis Rus
Št. 34, Soudan, Minn. — Podružnica je imenovala sestro Terezija Rus kot svojo najbolj zaslužno članico in mater za leto 1953.
Rojena je bila leta 1887 v vasi Žica, fara Krka, in nje dekliško ime je bilo Sadar. V Ameriki se nahaja od leta 1922, kjer je istega leta meseca junija poročila Mr. Alojzija Rus. V družini je bil rojen sinček, ki pa je umrl, ko je bil star štiri dni.
Sestra Rus je pristopila k Zvezi meseca marca leta 1934. Kljub temu, da dosedaj še ni imela delo v uradu, se je vsa leta požrtvovalno trudila za napredek podružnice. Izmed ročnih del je sestra Rus najbolj izurjena pri delu lepih preprog. Tako je tudi naredila za našo podružnico eno prav lepo, ki smo jo dale na srečke In se je naša ročna blagajna prav povoljno opomogla.
Prav lepa hvala sestra Rus in Bog te živi. Zahvalim se pa tudi vsem drugim članicam, ki so pripomogle k tako lepemu uspehu.
Mary Erchul, predsednica
hanju se je preselil v lepše življenje Frank Race starejši, soprog sestre Mary Race. Poleg žalujoče soproge zapušča sedem odraslih otrok, katerim je bil skrben oče. Omenjenim sestram in njih družinam izrekamo naše iskreno sožalje. Blagim pokojnikom pa naj bo Bog dober plačnik in naj počivajo v miru.
Sestra Frances Zakrajšek je pred nedavnim postala stara mamica zali deklici, katero so dobili v družini sina Mr. in Mrs. Lenard Zakrajšek. Vsem skupaj naše čestitke in želje, da bi Vam bila mlada princezinja vedno v veselje.
Na bolniški listi je več naših sester, med njimi je tudi sestra Katarina Šušteršič, ki je srečno prestala nevarno operacijo. Vsem želimo hitro in popolno okrevanje.
Pridite vse zdrave na prihodnjcf sejo in s seboj pripeljite vsaka eno kandidatinjo, ker sedaj je v teku kampanja za nove članice.
Najlepše pozdrave vsem
Ella Starin, tajnica
Št. 49, Noble. Ohio. — Cenjene članice! Sporočam, da bo prihodnja seja prvo nedeljo v avgustu, to je 2. avgusta. Treba bo vse urediti za izlet IG. avgusta na F. Kostenovo farmo, ki se nahaja na 39100 Lake Shore Blvd. Koliko nas bo in kako se bomo zabavali, je pač odvisno od vremena in nas vseh. Prostor je prijazen in pripraven, zato ni izgovora, da si ne bi napravili jedilno košarico, in pripeljali svoje družine in prijatelje. Tudi strehe je dovolj, kakor godba in prostor za plesaželjne. Morda se bo tudi kaj na ražnju vrtelo za fino pečenko. Enkrat smo imele pečenega jančka.
Torej pridite na sejo. Boljše ko si bomo priskrbele, tem lepše nam bo. Seja se vrši pri sestri M. Gombač na 22374 Armo ave. ob 2. uri popoldne dne 2. avgusta.
Naša pridna predsednica Je dobila več lepih dobitkov, ki bodo oddani 16. avgusta na izletu, med drugimi: posteljno pregrinjalo in lepo namizno svetilko. Sestra Praprotnik Je darovala kuhalnik, sestra Kosten en par prevlek za vzglavnike, in sestra Stu-šek garnituro obrisač. Mož od naše sestre Drenik je pa plačal naročene listke.
Predlagano in podpirano je bilo, da se pošlje vsaki članici za en dolar listkov. Vedno se sliši, da ni več tistega navdušenja kot ob začetku. Zatorej je tem bolj potrebno, da priredimo skupen izlet. Stroškov ni skoraj nič, pijače se toliko plača, kolikor se je iztoči in nekaj je že dobička pri njej. Prostor da za podružnico F. Kosten zastonj in se pri tem ne bo delalo dobička.
Vem, da ste ženske še zmerom zaposlene v tovarni in doma, zato ste pa toliko bolj potrebne domačega razvedrila. Vozila pa že skoraj vse imate, ako ne, se pa priporočite takim, ki ga imajo in vas bodo radi vzeli s seboj.
Naj se še enkrat pesem oglasi, kot se je v nekdanjih časih.
Pozdrav!
F.	Kosten
Št. 52, Kitzville, Minn. — Pozdravljene sestre! Tukajšnje prijetno vreme je spremenilo vso okolico. Zato se je naša običajna junijska seja vršila s samo 18 navzočimi članicami. Razpravljale smo najprej o naših načrtih za „card-party”, ki se bo vršil 25. Junija, in upamo, da uspešno.
Naša predsednica, sestra Josephine Oswald, je bila odsotna, ker se je podala na potovanje v Milwaukee. Upamo da bo imela prijetne dneve. Sejo je zato vodila sestra Mary Techar, ki Je prav dobro izvršila to dolžnost.
ŠKOF I. FRIDERIK BARAGA
Zgoraj je naslikan ročno izrezan kip iz orehovega lesa, katerega so ta mesec ponesle izletnice Slov. ženske zveze Sv. Očetu v Rim. To Je znak priznanja naših članic spominu našega škofa-misijonarja, kateri naj bi bil' naš prvi slovenski svetnik v bližnji bodočnosti. Kip, ki je 20 inčev visok, Je v celoti ročno izdelal slovenski kipar Mr. Francž Gorše, novonaseljeneo v Clevelandu, Ohio.
Srečna članica tega večera je pa bila Mary Martinich.
Po seji smo igrale karte. Pri igri je dobila prvo nagrado sestra Frances Bachnik in drugo sestra Mary Techar. Pri kartah pa so dobile prvo nagrado sestre: Catherine Marolt in Josephine Palitano, in drugo: Betty Strazishar in Celia Palitano.
Z okusno malico so nas pogostile sestre: Angie Hrovat, Ann Tool, Lena Strazishar in Julia Mancuso.
Meseca julija ne bo seje, upam pa, <la se vse zopet vidimo na seji v mesecu avgustu.
Betty Strazishar, poročevalka
Št. 56, Hibbing, Minn. — Na naSi majniški seji je bila Številna udeležba in članice so bile lepo postrežene. Ker je naš „dinner-party” lepo uspel, smo tudi danes imele „party” in navzoče so bile deležne okusne pojedine, nakar so sledile igre. Upamo, da so se vse članice prijetno zabavale. Ob tej priliki je Mrs. Genac izročila lepo cvetlico (korsažo) Mrs. Frank Buchar, ki je bila izvoljena za najbolj zaslužno mater tega leta.
Na§ Minnesotski dan se bo vršil koncem avgusta; podrobnosti bomo objavile pozneje.
Zvezin dan v Lemontu bo za mnoge naše članice lepa priložnost potovanja z busom. Sklenile smo, da se ga bomo tudi letos udeležile. Srečno pot, članice! Škoda, da se ga jaz ne morem udeležiti! Članice so tudi prispevale za spomenik v Lemontu.
Med svojo boleznijo sem sprejela mnogo kartic od naših dobrih članic, ki so se me spominjale, ko sem ležala v bolnišnici. Prav lepa hvala!
Mrs. Mary Satovich, Mrs. Goldie Clift in jaz, žalujemo nad izgubo moža Drej imenovane. Naj ga Bog blagoslovi in mu podeli večni pokoj.
Mrs. Angela Genac je bila srečna Prejemnica dobitka.
Blagajničarka bo pa dobila novo torbico za svoje knjige.

St. 71, Strabane, Pa. — Zopet imam 2a Poročati žalostno novico, namreč, se je morala zopet podati v bolnišnico na operacijo naša blagajničarka Marija Boštjančič. Sestra Boštjančič je že dolgo let v odboru pri ®aši podružnici in je jako delavna za uobro stvar. Zato ji želimo vse sestre iJubo zdravje in da bi se kmalu polnila zdrava domov k svojim dragim, *Jer jo željno pričakujejo.
Lep pozdrav vsem sestram in želim veliko uspeha v sedanji kampanji.
Frances Tomšič
Št. 77 Pittsburg (North Side), Pa. —
Pozdravljene sestre širom Amerike. Kako hitro mine čas! Komaj je minul Božič in Velika noč, že je tu poletje, vročina, in to pomeni: sezona piknikov. Kot zadnjih par let, bomo tudi letos lahko šle na naš piknik, ki se bo vršil v avgustu na North Park. Podrobnosti boste izvedele na prihodnji seji.
Za tako lepo udeležbo na naši zadnji prireditvi se vam prav lepo zahvalimo. Hvala tudi vsem tistim članicam, katere ste pomagale pri delu, in vsem, ki ste tako pridno igrale in kupovale, kar je bilo naprodaj. Zahvaljujem se tudi članicam podružnice št.
26	iz Butler st. za tako lepo udeležbo. Ob prvi priliki bomo pa me prišle k Vam po vasovat.
Bolna je sestra Mrs. Knauss. Vesela je obiskov, ako je kateri mogoče, ste prošene, da jo obiščete. Dragi sestri pa želimo ljubo zdravje.
Naše sožalje izrekamo Mrs. Kogi nad izgubo njenega sina. Pokojniku pa večni mir in pokoj.
Prihodnja seja se nam obeta biti jako vesela. Poročano bo, kako smo dobro naredile v maju in postregle nam bodo tiste članice, ki imajo rojstni dan v aprilu, maju in juniju. In še nekaj: kot vse veste, bomo na junijski seji vzdignile listek za $25 (bond), ali pa v gotovini za $18.75. Ves čisti preostanek je namenjen naši slovenski cerkvi na 57 st. Za to dobro stvar smo mislile, da bo več zanimanja, in da bomo vse listke oddale, pa gre prav, prav počasi in jih imamo še veliko na rokah. Zato bi vas prosila, da pridete na junijsko sejo, kupite knjižico ali pa dve, katere ste pa knjižice prodale, bi prosila, da prinesete „stabs” nazaj in denar.
Še enkrat na svidenje 18. junija, to je tretji četrtek zvečer v Hrvaški šolski dvorani na E. Ohio st.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF TITF. SLOVENIAN WOMEN’S UNION OF AMERICA
THE PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY MESSAGE
OUR PROGRESS OF ONE YEAR. One year has elapsed since our Convention in Detroit and we are happy to say our accomplishments for the year have been many.
1st—The purchase of the Home Office Building at 1937 W. Cermak Rd., Chicago. No need of paying rent any more...
2nd—Donations received for the Friendship Book during Open House also added to the financial success of our Dedication.
3rd—The aquirement of 579 new members during the memebrship drive six months ago.
4th—Donations received from members to be used for a Memorial in Lemont in honor of the members of the Slovenian Women’s Union.
(Names of Branches and individual donars are listed else-where in this issue.)
Sth—The S.W.U., always mindful of the needy in Europe, donated $500.00 to a deserving institution in Jugoslavia.
We are financially sound and have reason to be proud of our achievements attained this first year. Without the interest and cooperation of all the members, this could not have been realized. Thank you and may God bless you.
As this is the out-door season, where we like to sit in the shade and read and relax, I wonder how many Mothers ever remind their Juniors to read the “Junior Page” of our publication the “Dawn”. We will have to inspire our young people to organize in groups for some kind of activity suitable in your locale with the assistance of a leader. There is a Contest going on right now. Our Youth Director, Mrs. Mary B. Theodore, would like you to join in her contest for which she is giving prizes. So remember kids, drop her a line, Your age doesn’t matter; get Dad or Mother or Sister to help you enter the contest, but do it now. You know, a drive for Members is on. The greatest single stimulus for the membership is a good publication. It acts as a reminder, a dispenser of humor and gives recognition to those who are doing the work. Wherever you find a strong branch, you will find a good publication. We have the promise of the Editor for extra space for Youth publicity, so let’s keep her supplied with copy that will appeal to our youth. Editor Corinne Novak is doing great job, lets all pitch in and help!
Wishing you many happy hours of relaxation during the summer and be seeing you in Lemont July 19th, 1953.
Sincerely,
JOSEPHINE LIVEK Supreme President
ZVEZA DAY IN LEMONT, ILLINOIS, IS JULY 19th, 1953!

GREETINGS FROM THE DIRECTORS OF THE MIDWEST BOWLING ASSOCIATION!
To the many bowlers and bowling enthusiasts of our SWU, we wish to extend greetings and good wishes! In the past, under the able direction of our officers, the Association has been successfully conducting an annual tournament in the midwest. Seven participating groups throughout the midwest have been bowling under the auspices of SWU, and as we reach our eighteenth year, we hope for an even greater number of participants. Cooperation in the past has been wonderful; bowling has become our greatest sport movement! Your new officers intend to continue giving the same good service to the league as has been given these past years.
On behalf of the bowlers throughout the jurisdiction of the Association and the Directors, we wish to extend heartfelt thanks to our past Association Secretary, Mrs. Josephine Sumic of Joliet, Illinois, who has in the true sense of sportmanship made our Association a strong and successful organization. To Mr. Frank Sumic, we extend our warmest gratitude for his interest and hard work in promoting the welfare of our bowlers and who with his wife, have done their utmost in conducting fine and efficient tournaments. To Mr. and Mrs. Sumic we owe a debt of gratitude for building the Midwest Bowling Association into a worthwhile enterprise.
Thank you all; and we appeal for your continued cooperation during the 1953-54 bowling season.
The Midwest Bowling Ass’n. Lillian Kozek, President Ann Pelko, Vice-President Liz Zefran, Secretary Louise Ribich, Rose Kraemer, Directors

No. 7, Forest City, Pa. — Our member, Mary Medved, passed away May 16th. Members said the Rosary and attended the funeral. The bereaved family includes 4 sons and a daughter, a brother, Frank is in Jugoslavia and a sister, Mrs. Rose Kotar of Forest City and two grandchildren. May her soul rest in peace.
Many of our members are on the sick list. We wish a speedy recovery to all!
On Mother’s Day we all enjoyed a nice party with many in attendance; we sang the old times songs and had plenty to eat and drink. Mrs. Bechy was the lucky recipient of the door-prize and smaller prizes were given to many lucky members.
Former residents of Forest City, now residing in Cleveland, Ohio, visited us at our party as guests of Mrs. Fannie Lauriha. They are Mr. and Mrs. John Globokar. The trip was made in celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary.
Mrs. Johanna Janezic, chosen mo-the-of-the-year by our branch wishes to thank everyone for the cards and gifts sent to her while she was in the hospital. Mrs. Janezic missed our party because she was taken to tho hospital just a few days before Mother’s Day.
All members in arrears with their dues, please pay up and do not take a chance on being suspended. Furthermore, let’s all try to get more members enrolled during this present campaign. The more members—the more we can do. Please attend our meetings—you are very welcome.
Best wishes to all and especially our travelers who are visiting Jugoslavia this summer.

No. 16, So. Chicago will hold Its Aug., Sept., and Oct., meetings at the home of Mrs. Anna Buck, 10036 Ave. L., at 8 P. M. the second Thursday of the month.
No. 17, West Allis, Wis On Sunday, April 26th, our Branch celebrated its 25th Anniversary, with a High Mass offered at 7:00 A.M. by Rev. M. J. Setnicar, pastor of St. Mary’s Church. It was followed by a Breakfast in the new St. Mary’s School Hall.
Breakfast was served promptly after an invocation by Fr. Setnicar. He is to be complimented for his eloquent speech. Following the Breakfast, our president and organizer, Mrs. Josephine Schlossar opened the program with her welcome to our members and guests and called upon Mr. M. F. Benesch, our very able toastmaster to conduct the program. His ease and humorous wit earned for him our heartiest congratulations!
Our organizer, Mrs. Schlossar and all our charter members received! sincerest congratulations and best wishes at this time of the celebration of our Silvery Anniversary.
Due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Marie Prisland, who founded the Slovenian Women’s Union over 25-years ago and other women in other localities who were inspired by what she had done and who had the same interest as Mrs. Prisland to bring the Union to a higher level and a greater number, our organizer Mrs. Schlossar organized a group of 21 women on March 20, 1928 to join the S.W.U. Of our 21 charter members, 11 are still with us. Eventually, this group became known as No. 17, of West Allis. Through the years we have progressed due to the endless efforts of the Founder, Supreme Officers, Charter Members and loyal members who with courage, perseverance and hard work surpassed the hard road of progress and brought us to this celebration. So, once again, we wish our leaders even greater success in the years to come and we pledge support to this fine organization, Slovenian Women’s Union.
Our thanks to St. Mary’s combined choirs who sang various selections the High Mass so well, and later sang in Slovenian and Croatian under the direction of Miss Josephine Im-perl, organist. Our thanks are extended to the following: Miss Janet Kastelic, soloist, who sang AVE MARIA, Neena Kozleuchar, soloist, who sang CALM AS THE NIGHT, Janet Kastelic and Marion Marolt, vocal duet, who sang Mrs. Prisland’^ favorites, TAM NA VRTNI GREDI and REGIMENT PO CESTI GRE. These vocalists were all accompanied by Miss Imperl. A fine job, Jo—many thanks! Eileen Marolt played several selections on her accordian. Eileen, you did very nicely! Master Thomas Schmidt, our only male member, greeted and congratulated the members and guests. It was a very nice gesture, Tommy!
Mrs. Josephine Kerzich, our vice-president gave briefly the history of our branch including the past officers and charter members. Many thanks for a fine job!
We want to thank the Supreme Board members who honored us by their presence and spoke so well in behalf of our celebration, Mrs. Josephine Livek, Supreme President of Oglesby, 111., and Mrs. Albina Novak, Supreme Secretary of Chicago. Messages of congratulation were received from Rev. Father Alexander Urankar, SWU Spiritual Advisor, Honorary President, Mrs. Prisland and Supreme Treasurer Josephine Železnikar, who due to other appointments were unable to attend.
Also among our guests were Mr. , and Mrs. Alvin Gloyek, prominent Slovenians. Mr. Gloyek is our well-

Another honored guest was Mr. Louis Wamberger, husband of the late Louise Wamberger who had been & loyal and hard-working member of °Ur branch. Louis is well known to Us, because he was always the chauffer when taking his wife and members around on our branch’s business. From him, we were presented a gift °f $5.00. Also, on our guest list was Mr. Anton Tratar, whose late wife, Nellie was a very active member and did much to aid our branch.
Representations from branches 12, and 43, Milwaukee, St. Joseph’s 103, KSKJ and St. Mary’s 165 KSKJ, West Allis and many guests came from Oglesby and Chicago, Illinois. To them extended our best wishes and thanks for their interest.
The Supreme Board officers presented to Mrs. Schlossar a Silver Zve-*a Emblem Pin as were Secretary, Marie Floryan, Vice-President Josephine Kerzich, who enrolled our first ®°y-member, Treasurer Frances Piloni, Recording Sec'y, Fanny Medle, and Auditor, Josephine Imperl. Many thanks to our Supreme Board mem-ers for their tokens—we are very P*'oud to wear them.
Mrs. Josephine Schlossar, organizer and president of our branch, and the °Howing Charter Members:	Jose-
phine Pucek, Frances Imperl, Frances Janezich, Gertrude Pugel, Mary Pe-trich, Josephine Ferjan, Mary Schwi-gel, Jennie Juzina, Rose Parkel, and Josephine Nemmers were presented rhinestone pins and Orchid corsages by Marie Floryan in behalf of the branch with the wish that all would be together again when the branch celebrates its 30th anniversary. One of our Charter members, Rose Parkel has now made Fontana, California her home; Josephine Nemmers of Elm Grove has a little baby to care for; and Jennie Juzina, who was our first secretary is on the sick list, thus they were unable to attend. Subsequently they have been presented with their pins, and to Mrs. Juzina we extend our sincere wishes for better health.
We were pleased to present our Supreme officers with orchid corsages in honor of the occasion.
The amount of $75.00, which was donated by our members and guests for the Sister’s Convent Fund was then presented to Fr. Setnicar, who was very pleased with our offering.
At this time I would like to thank the officers, of our branch for all the cooperation and help they have given me, not only during the affair, but throughout the years. Mrs. Schlossar is always ready with a helping hand and advice and Mrs. Kerzich is another willing helper. Treasurer Mrs. Piwoni is there whenever needed with a helping hand and a few laughs and our capable recording sec’y, Fanny Medle sees to it that her little special
bag is ready after the meetings when we have our social fun. Marion Marolt and Vicky Kastelic, our Auditors are two very active members, who are so handy in any line of work and Josephine Imperl, another Auditor who is our church organist is very helpful whenever needed. It is a pleasure to work with such a wonderful staff of officers. Many thanks to you, girls!
Can’t forget to thank Tony Floryan, brave husband for his interest in selling our Union’s Cookbook. Maybe the trend this year is toward men taking and interest in cooking and baking. This should give the women a chance to relax! So far 20 wives of Tony’s friends have received copies of Woman’s Glory—the Kitchen. We hope they are pleased with the cookbook.
The same day as our anniversary celebration, I had to make a trip to my home town, of Sheboygan to attend the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Zupancich to whom we wish many happy years of good health. (My sincerest thanks for the lovely silver pin that was presented to me—it shall be cherised forever!)
While in Sheboygan, I made a stop at the home of our Founder, Mrs. Marie Prisland and presented her with a rhinestone pin in behalf of branch No. 17 on its commemorative 25th Anniversary.
We are very grateful to all our members and friends who helped in any way to prepare our celebration, by donations of baked goods and

No. 17, West Allis, Wis. — Being it was such a rainy day, I didn’t expect to see such a large attendance at our May meeting; it was a nice surprise to see so many faces! We are observing strict vacation schedule this summer with NO meetings through the months of June, July and August.
The meeting began promptly, as I had asked President, Mrs. Josephine Schlossar for an early start so that I could motor down to Waukegan immediately afterward. Mrs. Schlossar agreed with me and with a smile said she was sure the meeting wouldn’t take too long.
The business of the meeting was quickly discussed. The workers who prepared the Anniversary Breakfast were thanked for their donations of time and goods. Mrs. Schlossar thanks everyone for the gift which she and the Charter members were presented at the celebration and after a brief pause, the entire membership began singing “Happy Birthday to You” to ME! At the same time, in thru the door comes a member carrying a large cake and sets it before me with a gift. All the while, I was wondering what was going on! In a trance, I saw all the smilling faces around me, faces of my friends who were wishing me a happy birthday. My gift was a beautiful rhinestone pin and earrings set and for it I am most grateful. Another gift of beautiful earrings and a hanky was presented to me by Mrs. Schlossar. I shall treasure them always.
If ever anyone was surprised, it was me! All the next day while I was working, I kept thinking of the ladies and their thoughtfulness.
Our refreshments, and more cake were served and we all had a wonderful birthday party. I never did get to Waukegan!
Here’s a hearty THANK YOU for the happiness this party brought to me—your gifts and kind thoughts were lovely!
Best wishes for speedy recoveries to all our sick members.
Plans are being made for the annual pilgrimage to Lemont, 111., on Sunday July 19th. We are planning on attending Zveza Day in a nice group!
Marie Floryan, secretary
Member of Branch No. 19, EVeleth, Minn., Mary R. Lushene, has taken on a very important position in the banking world. Having been an incorporator of the Biwabik State Bank, Biwabik, Minnesota, she is now a Director and Cashier of this bank. The bank incorporated with a capitalization of $80,000.00 and is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which insures each deposit up to sum of $10,000.00. This bank has the most modern banking machines and methods.
Previously, Miss Lushene has held various federal positions including the Duluth office of Slovenian Congressman John A. Blatnik, DFL-Minn. She has been an instructor in Business Education at Aurora, Minn., Seattle, Wash., and Duluth Junior College, Duluth, Minn.
The Biwabik State Bank also boasts another Slovenian Director, Mrs. Louise Nisen, formerly Louise Sever,
who ocupies the position as president of this bank.
Miss Lushene resides with her father at 419 Pierce St., . Eveleth, Minn.
The following data has been taken from the Messaba Daily News concerning the opening of the Biwabik State Bank, January 2, 1953:
BIWABIK — On Jan. 2, 1953 the doors of the Biwabik State Bank will be open and local residents will enjoy banking facilities for the first time in 25 years.
The banking institution to be operated by two women, Mrs. Louise Nisen and Miss Mary Lushene, is located in the same quarters as the First National Bank of Biwabik which closed its doors in 1927. The building was purchased by the Biwabik State Bank, and the banking quarters have been remodeled and painted. New equipment has been installed, the two large vaults were cleaned,
checked, and installed with modern light fixtures.
Quarters are in readiness for the opening Friday, and the following day there will be open house from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Everyone is extended an invitation to visit the bank during open house, inspect the quarters, become acquainted with the new, modern type of banking to be carried on by the banking committee and to be the guests of the board of directors of the Biwabik State Bank. Refreshments will be served in the quarters of the Masonic Temple in the building and by the members of the Order of Eastern Star. Favors will be given to all those attending open house.
Work to obtain an application for a charter for the Biwabik Etate bank began in July of this year. With the cooperation of the Biwabik businessmen, citizens and municipalities, the charter was granted September 23 and this month, the Federal Deposit Insurance was granted. It took exactly six months to reach the goal—a bank for the City of Biwabik.
Branch No. 19, and the entire membership join in sending congratulations and felicitations to Mary R. Lu-shene!
No. 19, Eveleth, Minn. — How
quickly time flies. It seems as if I just extended greetings and it’s time to write a few lines again. With the weather we are having here in northern Minnesota one would think winter is here again, however, we aren’t easily discouraged and know that many beautiful days must be in store for us.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Lenich, Mrs. Nemgar, Mrs. Primozich, and yours truly drove over to Biwabik where we attended the supper which Was being given by our S.W.U. sisters in Biwabik. They served a very fine meal. Our sister, Mary Lushene, a member of local No. 19 who recently 'vent into the banking business in Biwabik then took us for a visit to the bank. She showed us all their fine new equipment and explained the various functions they perform with a great deal of pride, and rightfully so, for it is certainly a pleasant modern bank where it must be a pleasure to do business. Congratulations! Mary, may your venture enjoy great success.
We had a very nice meeting last night. I only wish the attendance bad been better because I am sure you would all have enjoyed it a lot. Mrs. Nemgar presided at the meeting and special prayers were said for two members who recently left our ranks in answer to Our Maker’s call —Mrs. Teliavnik and Mrs. Maurine. ^Ve miss you sisters, may you rest in Peace.
Our secretary read a letter from Supreme Sec. Albina Novak in which
she appeals for donations for a S.W.U. Memorial in Lemont. The S.W.U. Day at Lemont will be July 19th of this year and if there are any members who wish to attend please contact Mrs. Lenich.
Sisters Cetinen, Ambrozich, Shutte, and Zakrajšek were reported on the sick list so please pay them a visit and brighten their day.
Following the meeting a very tasty lunch was served in honor of Mothers Day. After a brief talk Mrs. Lenich presented lovely gifts to the following mothers:	Oldest — Mrs. Skrinner,
youngest — Mrs. Brank, mother of the year — Mrs. Primozich, mother who lost two sons in service — Mrs. Stimac, and charter mother — Mrs. Reberts. All were very much surprised and truly grateful. This was an unexpected pleasantry which Mrs. Lenich donated and therefore so much more enjoyed as surprises usually are. Thank you sister Lenich. There were tears and also laughter as some of the mothers reminisced. There certainly is a wealth of experiences wrapped up in the lives of our mothers who came here as pioneers. I sincerely wish the younger members would attend and share these memories for believe me many of them are priceless. A good evening’s entertainment merely for the price of attending. Please make it a point of attending in the future—until next time.
Sincerely Your Reporter

S.W.U. MIDWEST BOWLING ASSOCIATION REPORT
The Midwest SWU Bowling Association met in Joliet Sunday June 7, to complete Its 1953 business and to prepare for the 1954 program. All of the Association programs were completed with splendid success in all considerations. There were more bowling leagues and groups organized under the sponsorship of the SWU than ever before. The outlook for 1954 promises to be even greater.
The 1954 tournament has been accepted by branch No. 24, LaSalle, 111. The hosts are readying themselves to make all arrangements for the convenience and comfort of the visiting bowlers. The largest and best alleys have been reserved—hotel reservations will be handled in due time most convenient for the visitors and a gigantic social and entertainment program is being prepared by the LaSalle sisters. Other details pertaining to the tournament will be published in current issues of the “Zarja” and all other information needed regarding bowling, bowling leagues and the tournament can be had by writing to the secretary treasurer of the Midwest Bowling Association.
The newly elected*officers of the Midwest Bowling Association are: President Lillian Kozek, Branch No.
2; Chicago; Vice-President Ann Pelko, Branch No. 24, LaSalle, Secretary Treasurer Liz Zefran, Branch No. 2, Chicago, Directors:	Louise Ribich,
Branch No. 1, Sheboygan, Rose Krae-mer, Branch No. 43, Milwaukee.
The retiring secretary Josephine Sumic wishes to thank all those who helped her in the many ways to make the programs of the Midwest SWU Bowling Asociation such wonderful successes. She thanks particularly all the captains of the teams participating in the tournaments during her 17 years tenure of office. She realizes the sacrifices they went thru in promoting each tournament. In her activities as sports director of the SWU and the Midwest SWU Bowling Association she tried hard to make the senior members and officers of the various branches to see the need in promoting and supporting activities appealing to the American girl to establish her interest in the organization to help it grow and progress with youth gradually assuming the leadership in the SWU. Every organization realizes that its future depends upon its young members so should the SWU assume that responsibility if it wants to keep in stride and to progress as a growing institution.
If only other branches would follow the program of the Joliet Branch No. 20. This branch is the healtiest unit in the whole SWU and the richest financially and morally. This Is due because the officers of the Joliet branch have been always true SWU members whose sole interest was not selfish in one way or another but everything they promoted they did toward the progress of the SWU as a whole. These officers realize that the future of the organization is its youth and they cater 100% to its youth as evidence they have Juvenile and Senior Champion drill teams, they have basketball teams, they have soft balls teams, they have a large 10 team bowling league, they have a wonderful choral club, sewing circle and they participate in and promote anything that they find their members want and is needed to keep the organization alive and growing. The majority of the officers of the Joliet Branch are young American born women with foresight and leadership calibre that has lent so much to the present positions of the S.W.U. Everyone knows that Joliet has been ignored and belittled for selfish reasons of individuals whose sole interest was not the SWU but their own selfish agrandizement. An organization does not center itself about one individual or the other—if it does then it quickly becomes stagnant and gradually is immensely retarded in its progress. We cannot afford to
condemn anyone nor deride anyone amongst ourselves if we want to stay a growing institution bringing to the American womanhood the ideal of our institution.
I was very much disappointed at the results of our last SWU Convention which was attended in the vast majority by delegates who hardly had any foresight and to me who hardly had the true interest of the SWU at heart.
I make my final appeal to those good SWU members and officers of 'the various branches to keep paramount your undivided and unselfish interest in the SWU as a whole and to no cliques or individuals. I ask you to promote in your respective branches activities appealing to your younger members and assure your branch a healthy leadership and give your SWU a most promising future.
Your newly elected secretary treasurer of the Midwest SWU Bowling Association Liz Zefran of 1941 West Cermak Road, Chicago, Illinois, is always ready to help in any way to promote the one SWU activity, bowling which both young and old can enjoy.

No. 20, Joliet, III. — Looking back to that summer of 15 years ago and the wonderful times enjoyed with my mother, sister Mildred and grandpa •Setina, as we vacationed in Jugoslavia and other European countries.
Present events — My mother Mrs. -Josephine Erjavec was feted at a Bon Voyage party by the local branch of the Slovenian Women’s Union following its regular May 17 meeting in Ferdinand Hall with a large percentage of members in attendance.
She was also honored as the Ideal mother-member for 1953, having been chosen as the branch’s representative in the nationwide mother-member contest of the Union. A corsage of red carnations and many gifts were presented to the honored guest.
Luncheon consisting of Slovenian delicacies was served buffet style from a table covered with a white cloth and centered with an arrangement of lilacs and tulips flanked by green tapers.
Accordian selections were played by Billy and Jimmy Ariagno and the branch’s choral club honored the guest with the favorite Slovenian songs. Arrangements for the party were made by the branch officers headed by Mrs. Emma Planinshek, president.
That Sunday evening the families of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ancel and Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Pucel honored our mother, Jonita and Ronald at a Bon Voyage supper in the Ancel home.
The table was centered with miniature ocean liners surrounded by lilacs and lilies-of-tlie-valley. Lighted tapers flanked the centerpiece. Special entertainment was provided by the six grandchildren. Also attend-
ing the supper were Simon Setina and Mrs. Henry Hubert. Gifts were presented to the voyagers.
Also celebrated that evening of May 17 was the second birthday of Nadine Ancel and the 33rd wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Erjavec which was June 23.
The cadet alumnae’s monthly meeting of May 28 was held at Jean Nickleski’s lovely new home, 2425 Cora Street. An extra large supply of cancer bandages kept the girls busy most of the evening.
A delicious luncheon served by a gracious hostess, who was assisted by her mother, Mrs. John Kubinski, concluded the evening’s program.
The June 18 gathering was held at Hammel Woods with the husbands as guests. An especially delicious menu and plenty of refreshments were enjoyed by everyone. For July and August family picnics are planned.
Congratulations and best wishes to the cadet graduates from the Joliet Township High School—Evelyn Ben-co, Jane Hankovcak and Evelyn Kuz-minski.
The branch secretary Frances Gas-pich urgently requests of the membership payment of 1953 dues today. Your promptness and kind consideration will be appreciated when you call at her home, 619 Nicholson St., with your dues.
The branch’s 25th anniversary was commemorated at a special 7 o’clock Mass Sunday, June 14th, during which the members received Holy Communion. Branch No. 20 was organized June 11, 1928.
Looking forward to hearing many interesting stories narrated by our voyagers—dearest mama, sister Jonita and brother Ronnie.

No. 23, Ely, Minn. — Our Mother’s Day celebration was an outstanding affair, so I just have to write about it in our report.
First of all, we attended Holy Mass at 7:45 A.M. which was being offered for the living and dead members and received Holy Communion in a body—a wonderful attendance, too! Father Vovk celebrated the Mass and presented a wonderful sermon; and the Slovenian Church Choir, under the direction of Mary Hutar sang very touching and inspiring songs. On behalf of the members of our branch, I wish to thank Fr. Vovk and Mary Hutar and the church ushers for making the church service so beautiful.
That evening, we held our meeting and observed Mother’s Day with a program and luncheon. Discussion at the meeting was in regard to our 25th Anniversary celebration which will take place in September. We are going to make it a grand affair—I know it will be a success because we will have 100% cooperation from the members, as in the past.
The program of the evening was un-
der the capable direction of Mary Hutar and the main event was the Crowning of our Blessed Lady with five little girls participating. They were dressed in beautiful pastel-color-ed formals and each carried a bouquet of roses. The little angels were, Antoinette Dargontina, Mary Ann Hutar, Bernardine Hutar, Mary Ann Vidmar and Mary Leonore Lozar. Little Kathy Zgonc, junior member and daughter of Mary Zgonc, sang KJE JE MOJ MILI DOM in KO V JASNEM JUTRU ZARJA PRIMIGLJA (CLEAR MORNING) accompanied by Mary Hutar. It was very well sung. Margery Merhar, another junior member sang MOTHER and was accompanied by her mother, Katherine Merhar. Margery and Sandra Simonick then sang and danced YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY, which was enjoyed by all. Community singing concluded the program.
In charge of table decorations was Stephanie Vranesich. On the center table was a beautiful centerpiece— a statue of the Blessed Virgin sur-rounded by fresh roses which were brought by Barbara Brennen. Also there were little trees with crocheted pastel-colored little hats which were made and donated by Mrs. Vranesich and Mrs. Theresa Gouze. Later, these little hats were distributed to each Dawn Club member at the recent banquet held this month.
In charge of the lunch was Florence Markovich and she was assisted by a very able committee.
A beautifully decorated Mother’s Day cake which was donated and made by Margery Schuster was taken home by lucky Mary Ann Vidmar. Mrs. Kotchevar was the recipient of a plaque donated by Mary Hutar and other gifts donated by Barbara Rosan-dlch, Mary Shikonya, and were given to Mrs. Sprietzer and Mrs. Skufsca. A special door-prize, donated by Mrs. Slogar went to Pauline Ferderber.

No. 23, Ely, Minn. Dawn Club. —
Dawn Club members are always on the go it seems, especially the month of May when banquets in grand style at the Blue Room of the Forest Hotel took the forefront.
It was the evening of May 18th that we 37 met and sat down to a delicious dinner. After the opening prayer, we selected our choice of steaks, chops or chicken and all the trimmings. As usual, with such a heavily-laden table to work from, we all forgot about the scale.
The tables were beautifully decorated with place-cards in the motif of candy dolls which had crocheted hats of all colors and shapes made by Stephanie Vranesich and Theresa Gouze. Theresa graciously gave each member her own place card to take home ... which was a lovely gesture! Also on the tables were two beautiful Blessed Virgin vases set up by Emily Mainer. (She’s a sweet pal and always

has a cheerful word for everyone!) The roses which were brought by Barbara Brennen were mementos of her anniversary. So you can see what wonderful cooperation we enjoy!
Kose Ann Mavetz and Margie Ryan served us in gracious style and the food was prepared by none other than Mary Stubler—can she cook!
Since we all ate until we were stuffed, we relaxed and discussed a few business details at the same time. We talked about; our annual excursion— Boat Trip—and hoped that Albina Novak could be with us again this year as she was two years ago! Molly Richards and Mary Evanish were elected chairmen of the Boat Outing Committee. More details later.
We’d also like to report that Jeanette Vidmar is ill—and we wish her a very speedy recovery. A happy 15th Wedding Anniversary to my friend, Angie Godec, also!
A birthday was celebrated the night °f our dinner—that of Margie Pre-shiren.
The door-prize was drawn by our lucky Mrs. John Vidmar, who with Jeanette are such ardent workers for °ur birthday club.
Our meeting concluded with community singing with Mrs. Charles Merhar at the piano. She also is an exPert at the accordian and organ. The members surely enjoyed it all and really joined in on the singing of CEŠČENA SI MARIJA, always our concluding favorite hymn.
I’d like to include apologies to Ann "enko for the error in misprinting ■*er name Ann Skala instead of Ann Benko. Sorry!
Until next month, God Bless you

On it she carried a pall and host. Her attendants were: Carolyn Okleson, Pat Pride, who wore blue nylon net on satin, Mary Lynn Min-dock, and Joan Kramarcic, who wore yellow with nylon and satin, Barbara Ann Tidabaclc and Betty Lou Ritz who wore pink nylon and net on satin. All attendants wore hats to match their gowns. After Mass a banquet was served to the immediate clergy and relatives. Later in the afternoon there were over 1200 friends at the reception. Main speakers at the banquet who were introduced by Rev. Michael Železnikar, were Rev. L. L. Henkel, Rev. David Duncan O.S.B., John Jerich, and Mrs. Albina Novak and many others. The table was beautifully decorated in chalices and roses, the guest box was shaped into a cross with white and blue. Father Horzen had given each and every one an individual

REV. FR. BERNARD HORZEN’S FIRST MASS HELD AT ST. ROCH'S CHURCHI
Bishop Cousins ordained Father Bernard Horzen May 3 at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Peoria, 111. The following Sunday, Mothers Day, Father Horzen celebrated his first Mass at 11:15, assisted by Rev. Michael Železnikar, pastor of St. Rocli’s Church, and the Rev. David Duncan O.S.B. Deacon, the Rev. William Kirk, O.S.B. Subdeacon, the Rev. Herbert Comyns O.S.B. Master of ceremonies. The Very Rev. Peter Burich O.S.B. delivered the English sermon. The Rev. Odilo Hajnšek O.F.M. from Lemont delivered the Slovenian sermon. Fr. Hajnsek’s sermon was one that will never be forgotten. He mentioned what the word priest really means in saying that when we were brought to this world it was the priest who Baptized, assisted in First Communion, and Confirmation, Marriage, and last of all at death. And even after death it is the priest who still remembers us all at our anniversaries from year to year. That's only a few words of the sermon that I can mention at present; there were many thoughts. Also mentioned was the need for prayer that there are many, many more vocations to the priesthood. St. Bede’s Choir under the direction of Fr. Albin O.S.B. sang the proper of the Mass; and the Senior choir sang the ordinary of the Mass.
Barbara Jean Horzen from Fontana, Calif., a nicce of Fr. Horzen, was the bride. Her gown was of nylon net,

blessing, which was something, that lasted over three hours. In behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Horzen and Father Horzen, I wish to thank each and every one who made this day, such a great day as it was. Father Horzen said there is no words that he could say in thanking all. And I myself wish to thank all those who worked in the kitchen and serving. It was a great pleasure for all of the women to do such a job. I can only say this, that everything that you did for Fr. Horzen, will be repaid by only One who can do so and that is God Almighty. The Good Lord will always remember you, and he will bless each and everyone of you especially Mr. and Mrs. Horzen and the newly ordained.

ORDINATION JUNE 13th
FOR CLEVELAND MISSIONER;
ASSIGNED TO FORMOSA
The REV. FRANCIS X. REBOL of Cleveland, Ohio was ordained a priest of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America on Saturday, Junel3, at Maryknoll Major Seminary at Maryknoll, New York. Bishop Raymond A. Lane, Superior General of the Maryknoll Fathers was the ordaining prelate for this year’s class of twenty-six deacons.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rebol of 1217 Addison Road, Cleveland, Ohio, Father Rebol was born in Yugoslavia and is the first Maryknoller to come from that country. He has been assigned to the missions of Formosa. The day after his ordination, he will participate Maryknoll’s 36th annual Departure Ceremony, to be held in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City.
Father Rebol celebrated his First Solemn High Mass in St. Vitus Church, Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday, June 21, at ten o’clock. Father Louis Baznik, pastor of the parish was the assistant priest.
Other officers of the Mass:	Father Victor Tome of St. Vitus
Church, deacon; Rev. Mr. John Ogurchock, Maryknoll seminarian, sub-deacon; and Mr. Anthony Rebol, a brother of the newly-ordained priest, studying at St. Mary’s Seminary in Cleveland, master of ceremonies.
Bishop Gregory Rozman, Bishop of Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, delivered a sermon in the Slovene tongue. Now living in exile in the United States, he was tried in absentia by the Tito government and condemned to sixteen years of hard labor. Bishop Rozman, who confirmed Father Rebol nearly twenty years ago in his native country, is presently residing at St. Lawrence Rectory In Cleveland, Ohio. A second sermon was delivered in English by Father James P. McIntyre, diocesan director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
Father Rebol was born in Yugoslavia’ on November 25, 1925. He attended grammar school there and studied at Classical Gymnasium in Ljubljana, the capitol of Slovenia. His family came to this country in August of 1939, a month before the beginning of World War II, and settled in Cleveland.
There Father Rebol attended Benedictine and Cathedral Latin High Schools before entering Maryknoll in 1944. In addition to his brother who is studying for the priesthood, he has two other brothers, the Messrs. Joseph and Marion Rebol, who reside at the home of their parents.
Before leaving for his mission, Father Rebol will have a short vacation with his family. On Formosa, the Maryknoll Fathers have charge of the Prefecture of Taichung, located in the central part of the island. They also staff missions in the Taipeh Diocese among Hakka-speaking refugees from the mainland of China. Father Rebol will learn the Hakka language to work among these people.
Maryknoll, the popular name for the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, was founded in 1911. Since then it has grown into a world-wide society, with mission areas in the Far East, Africa, Central and South America, and islands of the Pacific. It has nearly 2,500 members, including priests, Brothers, Sisters and students.
The society’s Major Seminary and national headquarters are located at Maryknoll, New York, some thirty-five miles north of New York City, near the town of Ossining. Maryknoll also maintains colleges, junior seminaries and houses of study in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The Board of Directors of SWU extend sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Miss Frances Jancer, our monthly Home-making columnist on the recent loss of her dear mother, Mrs. Josephine Jancer. We pray for her eternal rest'.
GOING TO GOD
Passing beyond the shadow Into a purer light,
Stepping behind the curtain, Getting a clearer sight.
Laying aside a burden,
This weary mortal coil,
Done with the world’s vexations, Done with its tears and toil.
Tired of all earth’s playthings, Heart-sick and ready to sleep. Ready to bid friends farewell, Wondering why they weep.
Passing out of the shadow Into eternal day,
Why do we call it dying— This sweet going away?

self, I am planning on a trip to Florida with my husband and daughter. They say that Florida is as beautiful in the summer as in the winter, and that there is less of the sweltering heat there than in other regions of the country. I’ll let you know about it when I return.
In the meantime, do come out to the meetings and spend an enjoyable evening with your friends. Matters of business arise that cannot be concluded without a goodly attendance.
Congratulations to Mrs. Helen Bro-liclc on the birth of a daughter—Joann Lyn. And we are happy to welcome this new arrival into our membership.

everyone! The regular meeting of our branch was held Sunday evening, June 7th at the Council Room.

Vitamins—what wonders they have Performed! When the full story of nutrition is told, it will no doubt be the vitamins to which credit will go for awakening public interest in balanced diet and correct eating. Vitamins to most people means capsules bought in a drug store or pharmacy Prescribed by their physician for the deficiencies in their physical bodies.
What most people do not know is that eating proper foods they can avoid medicines and yet get their daily dosage of vitamins. Vitamins aren’t new, they date back to the first ■world war, when something whirled ■n called a vitamine, and amazing facts became known. It was on a raiding German cruiser, long weeks at sea, the members of the crew began to develop acute rheumatism and tender, bleeding gums. Some of them swelled up like blowfish and died. The survivors landed ashore and ate fresh fruits and vegetables, drank Plenty of milk and they got well. Vitamins did it.
To give one example, an average serving of properly prepared broccoli “as three times the amount of Vitamin A that the average Vitamin A tablet now on the market contains.
To better acquaint the readers of Womans Glory of the Vitamin Value of the foods they prepare, this column will try to give them idea of the Vitamin Value of the different fruits and vegetables in season. Better yet, ask your doctor for a list of the vitamin values of the different foods, they have these in any physician’s office.
This month we shall take peaches. They are one of the fruits and vegetables most capable of increasing the hemoglobin content of blood. Therefore if your blood is low, eat plenty of them. Contain Vitamin A, is a source of Vitamin B; good source of Vitamin C and G. The dried peaches have more than four times as much Vitamin A as do the fresh yellow peaches.

HAVE YOU MOVED?
Each month the Zarja receives letters of complaint from our member« stating that they do not receive their magazine regularly. In many cases after thorough checking our mailing lists, we find the difficulty was caused by the fact the member had moved without notifying our office about the change in address. If you do not receive a copy of Zarja each month or if you have moved in the past olx months, won’t you please notify the Editor’s Office, 1937 West Cermak Rd., Chicago 8, III. It is essential that we have your correct address on record that all mail may reach you promptly.

RECIPE FOR SUMMER
Take “peepers” calling from the pond, And white clouds overhead,
A pinch of rain,a lot of sun,
Much fresh green grass instead Of high-piled snow . •.
Then mix all these
With warmer wind and budding trees, And you will have the pleasantest thing In ail the wide world —
You’ll have SPRING!
(By Revah Summersglll)
£>
A SEAT IN A TREE Up in the crotch of the old oak tree They have built a seat for Betty and me, Far from the noise of the busy town With a ladder to lead us up and down. And there between the earth and sky We watch the birds go skimming by.
We can hear the song of the tinkling rill As it hurries along at the foot of the hill. Oh, summer days, how dear they can be When you sit up high In the crotch of a tree!
We laugh and we talk and we sing and sew,
And the flowers nod, and warm winds blow.
Sometimes we are caught In a big downpour.
Then we swiftly run for the sheltering door
And wait for the storm to pass us by, And the warm sunshine to make things dry.
Then we scamper away as fast as can be To our cozy seat In the old oak tree.
THE SONG I HEARD
I heard a little song today,
’Twas joy, joy, Joy!
The breezes sang it, then a bird Did all his power employ To warble that same song anew,
Of Joy, joy, Joy!
The raindrops spattered to the tune Of Joy, joy, Joy!
Until the sun came smiling through. And, like a maiden coy,
Strewed diamonds on each new born leaf—
’Twas Joy, Joy, Joy!
In gladness then my own heart burst With Joy, Joy, Joy!
Because ’twas spring, and once again For every girl and boy Warm sunny days of fun, and oh Such Joy, Joy, Joy!
(By Gladys M. Gearhart)
WHAT IS IT?
When it Is hungry, it pleads with Its eyes,
Perhaps will add a few tricks.
And when you have given of that which' you have It offers to pay with licks.

ALBINA NOVAK, glavna tajnica
VAŽNA NAZNANILA
Na zadnji konvenciji je bilo določeno sledeče:
Ko članica dopolni starost 75 let, odtlej ne plačuje več v smrtninski sklad, to pomeni, da plača 20 c en t o v m a n j vsak mesec na glavni urad. To velja od 1. julija 1962. Ako je katera plačevala polno vsoto med tem časom, bo tajnica odštela v prihodnjem ma-sečnem poročilu za pretekle mesece, za katere ste plačali polno vsoto.
Ko pa članica dopolni starost 80 let, je pa popolnoma prosta asesmenta. To velja od 1. julija 1952. Ako je katera plačevala, bo tajnica odštela v prihodnjem mesečnem poročilu.
NOVOROJENČKI, fantki in deklice, so prosti mesečnine do enega leta starosti. Ako vpišete dete, ko je staro, recimo že tri mesece, potem dobi devet mesecev prost asesment, namreč toliko prostih asesmentov, da dopolni starost eno leto. Zato Jih vpišite prav takoj ob rojstvu, da dobijo celo leto prost asesment.
DEČKE SE SPREJEMA DO 12 LET starosti. V mladinskem oddelku pa ostanejo do 18 let starosti kot deklice in bodo dobili isto prost certifikat za $50.00, ako bodo deset let pri Zvezi, ko dopolnijo 18 let starosti kot deklice. Da jih ne sprejmemo starejše kot 12 let, Je pa vzrok, ker moramo napraviti program za naše fant«i ko dopolnijo 18 let In bodo v šestih letih dve konvenciji, ki bodo prav lahko napravili kakšen imeniten na&r* za našo mladino, da bomo imeli fant« in dekleta v organizaciji, kar bo fl°" tovo povzdignilo življenje.
KAMPANJA se je pričela s prvim majnlkom. Trajala bo do decembra-Nagrade so zelo lepe, zato se vse P°" trudite.
