SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
AMERIKA IN JAPONSKA Odnošaji med Zedinjenimi državami in Japonsko, ki že dalje časa niso bili najboljši, so se pretekli teden nenadoma še poslabšali. Japonska je prisilila lutkarsko francosko vlado v Vichyu, da ji je odstopila “v varstvo” nekaj važnih postojank v francoski Indo-Kini. Ameriški poslujoči državni tajnik Sumner Welles je takoj izjavil, da ta japonski korak ograža ameriške interese v Pacifiku. Predsednik Roosevelt je nato “zamrznil” vse japonske kredite v Zedinjenih državah, kar bo najbrž popolnoma ustavilo trgovino med Zedinjenimi državami in Japonsko. Enako sta storili Canada in Anglija. Obenem je Roosevelt odredil mobilizacijo vse vojne sile na Filipinih in da s tamkajšnjim ameriškim vojaštvom tvori skupno obrambno silo Filipinov in Daljnega Vzhoda sploh.
PASJI DNEVI
Ves ameriški srednji zapad se je zadnje dneve topil v pravi pasjednevni vročini. V nedeljo 27. julija je v Clevelandu, Ohio, toplomer zabeležil nekaj nad 103 stopinje gorkote. To je za ta datum rekordna vročina za Cleveland.
ZA DALJŠE SLUŽBOVANJE Zvezni kongres v Washingto-nu se zdaj bavi z zahtevo administracije, da se postavno dovoli obdržati vojake v službi nad eno leto, katera doba je bila začetkoma določena. Poudarja se, da bi bila vojaška sila Zedinjenih držav silno oslabljena, če bi se v bodočih par mesecih moralo odpustiti iz armade dobro .tretjino kolikor toliko izvežbanih vojakov in jih nadomestiti z rekruti. Vojni tajnik priporoča, da kongres enostavno'sprejme resolucijo, s katero prizna obstoj resne nevarnosti, “national emergency,” nakar bo administracija na podlagi že obstoječih zakonov lahko podaljšala vojaško službovanje vpoklicancev za čas nevarnosti in obenem vpoklicala k vojaškemu vežbanju nadaljne rekrute.
ZASEŽBA TOVARN V kongresu je bila sprejeta postava, ki daje predsedniku pravico zaseči vsako tovarno, ki ima naročila za narodno obrambo, pa produkcijo ovirajo stavke. Take tovarne bi se potem obratovale pod vladno kontrolo, dokler se delavski spori ne rešijo. Predsednik more rabiti lastno razsodnost in določiti kdaj stavke zadržujejo obrambno produkcijo.
STAROST VPOKLICANCEV Dodatek k postavi za obvezno vojaško vežbanje, ki je bil nedavno sprejet .določa, da se v bodoče ne bo več klicalo k vojakom regi str irancev, ki so stari 28 let ali več. Lahko pa registri ranči take starosti prostovoljno vstopijo v armado ali ostanejo v isti.
WILLKIEJEVA IZJAVA Bivši predsedniški kandidat republikanske stranke, Wendel L. Willkie, je pretekli teden na velikem shodu v San Franciscu izjavil, da se Rusija danes bori proti tisti nacijski pošasti, proti kateri se borita Anglija in Zedinjene države. Skupni namen vseh treh je preprečiti nacijem, da zasužnjijo ves svet. Poudaril (Dalje na 4. strani*
NEUMESTNIMEDSODKI
Država New York, kjer stanuje skoraj četrtina vseh tuje-rodcev v tej deželi, polovico katerih tvorijo Židje in kjer živi največje meščansko prebivalstvo Črncev v Združenih državah, se je odločila storiti nekaj v zadevi diskriminacije proti Ame-rikancem v obrambni industriji vsled plemena, narodnosti ali vere.
Nadalje se namerava pridobiti sodelovanje federalne vlade za skupno akcijo in upa se tudi za sodelovanje drugih držav, kjer se pojavlja slično zapostavljanje.
To stvar je v roke vzel posebni odbor, “Committee on Discrimination on Employment,” ki je bil imenovan od governer-ja Lehmana in na čelu katerega je F. S. Miller, industrijalni komisar.
Zlasti nas skrbi dvoje diskriminacij, ki so dandanes precej v natadi,” izjavila je komisarka Miller. “Ena vrsta je v zvezi z narodnostjo in izvirno domovino, druga pa se tiče plemenskih ali verskih razlik. Prva izključuje iz dela mnogo državljanov italijanskega ali nemškega pokoljenja, dasi ni dvojbe o njihovi lojalnosti. Druga otež-koča zaposlovanje mnogih kvalificiranih Črncev in Židov v tovarnah, kjer se pripravlja ob-orožanje dežele. Obe vrsti diskriminacij prispevata k needino-sti v času, ko bi skupno prizadevanje in narodna edinost morala biti glavna stvar.”
Isti problem je predmet proučevanja s strani organizacije Common Council for American Unity, ki je s pomočjo svojega članstva začel preiskovanje posameznih slučajev diskriminacije te vrste širom dežele. Tudi Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt je v svoji časopisni koloni “My Day,” ki jo priobčujejo mnogi časopisi širom dežele, pred kratkim izjavila :
“Precej me skrbijo razne vesti, ki so mi bile prijavljene. Na primer, v industrijah so bili izključeni od dela razni ljudje, ker imajo ime, ki zveni nemško ali italijansko oziroma ker je znano, da so se oni ali njihovi starši rodili na Nemškem ali Italijanskem. Naša dežela pa je sestavljena od ljudi, mnogi iz med katerih so pred kratkim sem prišli, ali so na poti, da postanejo ameriški državljani, ako niso že postali. Ti so morda bolj vdani demokratični obliki vlade, kakor mnogi izmed tukaj rojenih Amerikancev, ki smatrajo svoje državljanstvo kot nekaj samo ob sebi umevnega. Te lju di treba vzpodbuditi na zaupanje in ljubezen te nove domovine in njenih prebivalcev. Treba jim je dati enako priložnost kot ostalim izmed nas, da zaslužijo svoj kruh in živijo svoje življenje pod zaščito zakonov te dežele.”
Commissioner Miller je izjavi la, da se newyorški odbor popolnoma zaveda dejstva, da je bilo potreba vporabljati na j večjo previdnost v nekaterih tovarnah, kjer se izdelujejo posebne obrambne proizvodnje, ali zdi se nezmiselno izključiti človeka z nemškim ali italijanskim imenom, na primer, iz dela v tovarni vojaških uniform. Rekla je da je doznala o slučajih, kjer so bili dobri državljani radi slične diskriminacije izključeni iz dela v tovarnah, kjer se izdeluje oblačila, kuhinjske opreme, steklenine in drugo netehnično blago. Izjavila je, da se fede (Dalje na 8. strani)
ZA MEDVEDOVO KOŽO
GORJE PREMAGANCEM
Za kožo ruskega medveda, katere za enkrat Hitler še nima za pasom, že zdaj »vadljajo ali barantajo razni pustolovci, ki bi radi postali nominelni vladarji Rusije ali pa vsaj ukrajinskega dela Rusije. Splošno se sodi, da bi v primeru ruskega poraza Hitler ustanovil za Rusijo ali pa za samo Ukrajino vazalno vlado. Pretendentov za tak prestol ne manjka.
Eden teh je veliki vojvoda Vladimir, star 23 let, sin velikega vojvode Cirila, ki se je leta 1924 v izgnanstvu v Parizu proglasil za carja vseh Rusov, in je umrl leta 1938. Bil je bratranec zadnjega ruskega car-j^. Vladimir je bil rojen na Finskem, kamor so 'njegovi starši pribežali pred rusko revolucijo, je obiskoval univerzo v Londonu in baje biva sedaj v Parizu. Njegova mati je bila nemška Drinceza.
Drugi pretendent za morebitni ruski prestol je princ Louis Ferdinand, starejši sin pokojnega nemškega prestolonaslednika. Leta 1938 je baje na priporočilo Hitlerja poročil veliko vojvodinjo Kyro, sestro Vladi-mira. Princ Louis Ferdinand je bil okrog leta 1920 tudi v Zedinjenih državah ter je bil baje zaposlen kot vajenec ali študent v Fordovih tovarnah v Detroitu. Pred sedanjo vojno je bil ailot v nemškem vojaškem letalstvu.
Tretji pretendent na ruski prestol je grof Mihael Grabe, )ivši ruski oficir in vodja kozakov v izgnanstvu.
Za ukrajinski prestol se baje namerava poganjati Pavlo Petrovič Skoropadski, star 67 let, ki je bil za časa nemške okupacije Ukrajine leta 1918 nekakšen governer zasedene dežele. Dob*a njegove vlade pa je bila kratka in od takrat živi na nemški penziji v Berlinu. Drugi je princ Leon Razumovsky, ki je Daje zadnji živeči potomec grofa Razumovskega, ki ga je bila carica Katarina Velika imenovala za hetmana Ukrajine. Nekaj upanja goji tudi Andrej Melnik, ki je bil rojen v gališki Ukrajini in je bil svoječasno polkovnik v avstrijski armadi Zdaj je vodja fašistične ukrajinske organizacije v Berlinu. Končni pretendent za ukrajinski prestol je Aleksander Sev-riuk, svetovalec Alfreda Rosen-berga, ki je nacijski ekspert za ukrajinske zadeve.
BULOVA WATCH
Vsi smo že stokrat slišali na adiju oglašano urarsko tvrdko Bulova. To tvrdko je leta 1875 ustanovil Čeh Joseph Bulova, urar in zlatar, ki se je v starosti 18 let priselil iz češkega v Ameriko. Danes izdeluje urarska tvrdka Bulova Watch Co. 40 odstotkov vseh boljših ur v Zedinjenih državah.' Tvrdka ima štiri tovarne in v zadnjem fiskalnem letu je imela $2,363,000 dohodkov. Sedanji predsednik družbe je Arde Bulova, sin ustanovitelja. Družba lastuje štiri radio oddajne postaje in je solastnica dveh nadaljnih. Njeno blago se dnevno oglašuje z 203 postaj. Bulova izdeluje zdaj tudi mehanične vžgigalnike za bombe, in, kot se poroča, izvršuje to delo za vlado brez dobička za družbo.
Vsi normalni stiki med nami in našo rodno Slovenijo oziroma Jugoslavijo so pretrgani.Ve-mo le eno veliko in tragično resnico, da so naši krvni bratje v starem kraju v ječi, in sicer v groznejši ječi kot si jo moremo predstavljati. Tu in tam izvemo o naših zasužnjenih bratih kaj malega iz poročil v velikih ameriških časopisih, katera poročila zamorejo ameriški časniški poročevalci poslati iz katere še kolikor toliko samostojnih evropskih držav. Seveda so tudi dotična poročila cenzurirana od lokalnih oblasti. Tu in tam se na en ali drugi način iz-tihotapi iz razkosane Jugoslavije kako pismo, ki pove kaj malega o tamkajšnjih razmerah. Malo izvemo iz teh drobcev poročil, pa že tisto, kar izvemo, dokazuje, da se Jugoslaviji ne godi nič boljše kot se godi okupirani Češki in Poljski.
Iz raznih poročil se da sklepati, da so vso Slovenijo, z izjemo Bele Krajine, ki je bila prideljena “svobodni Hrvatski,” in z izjemo Julijske Krajine, ki je bila že prej pod Italijo, zasedli Nemci, ki hite s ponemčevanjem naših krajev. Naše šole so naciji zaprli in slovensko inteligenco so v velikem številu zaprli v ječe ali poslali v koncentracijska taborišča. Menihi in nune ter večje število posvetnih duhovnikov so bili pregnani in cerkve izropane vseh dragocenosti. Da li v Sloveniji izhaja kak slovenski časopis, nam ni znano; najbrž ne, ker Nemci hočejo še hitrejše in temeljitejše iztrebiti naš jezik kot so to delali Italijani v našem Primorju.
Da-li kmete in delavce pošiljajo iz Slovenije na prisilno delo v Nemčijo, ne vemo, toda najbrž se to godi. Znano je, da so iz Hrvatske poslali tisoče takih delavcev v Nemčijo. Da li preganjajo slovenske kmete z njihovih domačij in jih naseljujejo z Nemci, tudi ne vemo Toda to delajo Nemci na Češkem in Poljskem in ni verjetno, da bi milejše postopali s Slovenci.
Najhujše za že itak revno Slovenijo pa je sistematično nemško in italijansko ropanje. Ubogim ljudem poberejo vse: živino, svinje, ovce, kokoši, prekajeno meso, žito, sočivje, sploh vse, kar ima za zmagovalce kakšno vrednost. Prebivalstvo se seveda ne more upirati nemški in italijanski oboroženi sili. Nedavno smo čitali, da so nemške oblasti v Škofji Loki na Gorenjskem dale kratkomalo postreliti večino odraslega moškega pre bivalstva. Zakaj so bili tisti nesrečneži postreljeni, poročilo ni navajalo, toda skoro gotovo zato, ker so se upirali oddati vsiljivcem živino in blago. Po ne kem drugem poročilu je bilo nekje na jugu ustreljenih 23 slovenskih kmetov, ker so se branili oddati svojo živino Nem cem. Poročila iz krajev, ki jih je zasedla Italija, so slična.
Kot že omenjeno, dobimo iz Slovenijo le redke in majhne drobce poročil o tamkajšnjih razmerah, toda že iz teh drobcev lahko sklepamo, da je vsa Slovenija nele zasužnjena, ampak tudi oplenjena do kosti. Ka ko bodo ljudje polja obdelovali brez živine in kako se bodo preživeli brez pridelkov, si je težko predstavljati. Vse kaže, da bo do tisoči in tisoči naših ljudi podlegli gladu in splošnemu pomanjkanju.

KAKO OBČUTIJO VOJNO V NEMČIJI
Tekom zadnje svetovne vojne so bile Nemčiji skoro popolnoma prihranjene direktne vojne strahote na domači zemlji. Skoro vsi boji so se vršili izven nemških mej, ako izvzamemo ruski vpad v vzhodno Prusijo, ki pa se ni dolgo vzdržal. Letalstvo je bilo takrat še tako malo razvito, da ni predstavljalo resne nevarnosti za notranjost Nemčije. Prebivalstvo Nemčije je občutilo zadnjo svetovno vojno v glavnem v pomanjkanju, ki ga je povzročila blokada zaveznikov, in seveda v žrtvah mrtvih in ranjenih na bojiščih.
Tudi sedanjo vojno vodi Nemčija dosedaj izključno izven svojih mej. Vojno razdejanje je doseglo malone vse druge evropske dežele, ni pa prizadelo Nemčije, z eno izjemo. Pravo Nemčijo dosegajo v tej vojni bombe angleških in v zadnjem času tudi ruskih letalcev. Napadom z zraka je izpostavljena vsa Nemčija in ti napadi postajajo z vsakim tednom silnejši. Najuspešnejše nemško orožje v prvem štadiju sedanje vojne jc bilo letalstvo in ta šiba se obrača zdaj na Nemčijo v vedno večjih rojih angleških letalcev. Tako ima zdaj Nemčija po dolgem času vojno tudi doma na svojem pragu.
Kako občuti nemško prebivalstvo vojno doma, zunanji svet malo izvQ, zaradi nemške cenzure. Vsekakor se more čitati med vrstami cenzuriranih nemških poročil, ki pridejo v javnost, da je nemško prebivalstvo do grla sito vojne, toda si ne more pomagati.
Civilno prebivalstvo Nemčije je razočarano, ker se ni izpolnila vrsta nacijskih obljub. Naciji so zagotavljali nemško prebivalstvo, da sovražni letalci ne aodo nikdar dosegli Berlina. Danes vedo vsi Nemci, da angleški letalci povzročajo velika razdejanja ne samo v Berlinu, ampak tudi v Bremenu, v Ham-aurgu in številnih drugih nemških krajih. Obljubovano je bi-o, da Nemčija ne bo nikdar vodila vojne na dveh frontah, ker je Rusija prijateljska država. Po nemškem napadu na Rusijo, ci ni sama izzvala vojne z Nemčijo, ima zdaj Nemčija resno vojno na vzhodu in na zapadli, ne oziraje se na jug, kjer mora tudi biti vsaj pripravljena na večje ali manjše boje. Obljubovano je bilo nemškemu prebivalstvu, da bo vojna zmagovito zaključena v letu 1940, kar se ni zgodilo. Do nedavnega so naciji obljubovali, da bo vojna zaključena vsaj v letu 1941, pa se zdi, da tudi tem obljubam nihče več ne veruje. Obljubovano je bilo nadalje, da gotovo Amerika ne bo nikdar posegla v to vojno pa tudi ta obljuba se ni izpolnila. Zedinjene države sicer še niso oficielno v vojni z Nemčijo toda ameriška materialna pomoč Angliji šteje v tem času najbrž več, kot če bi bila Amerika aktivno v vojni proti Nemčiji. Tudi tekom zadnje svetovne vojne je bila ameriška pomoč na strani zaveznikov od nemških vojnih prerokov omalova ževana, toda končno se je izkazalo, da je bila prav Amerika tista, ki je odločila vojno v prič zaveznikom. Tega se starejsi Nemci dobro spominjajo.
Nemško časopisje ne pripove duje prebivalstvu, da se bo Ame rika udeležila vojne, toda s svo-(Dalje na 4. strani)
VSAK PO SVOJE
Dandanes je naravnost čudovito, kako se suče in preobrača svetovna situacija. Še ni dolgo, ko je skoro od vsepovsod odmevalo urnebesno petje o finski demokraciji, danes pa finsko vojaštvo dejansko pomaga Hitlerju, največjemu zatiralcu svobode in obenem največjemu krvniku Slovanov. Na drugi strani pa vse do zadnjega časa ni bilo slišati dobre besede za Rusijo, danes pa je prav ruski medved tisti, ki vsaj začasno drži v krempljih dosedaj nepremagljive na-cijske hoi’de, da se morejo demokracije nekoliko oddahniti' in se pripraviti na silnejši odpor. Ali ne bi bilo čudno, če bi končno ruska sila odločila, da v tem gigantskem boju zmaga demokracija!

V Zedinjenih državah so tri kovnice denarja: v Denverju, v San Franciscu in v Philadelphi-ji. Vse tri obratujejo s polno paro, 24 ur na dan. Produkcija se je od lani zvišala za 143 odT stotkov in že v tem letu so te kovnice nakovale za 50 mliijo-nov dolarjev raznovrstnega denarja. Pa nam kljub temu vedho primanjkuje drobiža!

Iz Washingtona se poroča, da bo vlada Zedinjenih držav potrošila četrt milijona dolarjev mesečno za vojno proti komarjem, ki petokolonijo okoli vojaških taborišč ter skušajo zaploditi rumeno mrzlico in malarijo. „V«*aku., vujnu je drag lukaus, celo vojtia proti komarjem.

V letu 1940 so ameriški kadilci popušili 5,489,569,000 cigar in 90 odstotkov istih je bilo v petcentnem činovnem razredu ali nižje. Tudi avtor te kolone je po svojih skromnih zmožnostih pripomogel h gornjemu rekordu in seveda je vlekel z večino, to je s tistimi 90 odstotki kadilcev.

Nekatere samopostav 1 j e n e vodnike in preroke v Zedinjenih državah je nemški napad na Rusijo spravil čisto iz balance. Nacijski Nemčiji ne morejo želeti zmage, ker je odkrita sovražnica Amerike, Rusiji pa tudi ne, da se ne bi ugriznili v jezik. Pa izražajo svoje želje nekako tako, da naj bi Rusija malo zmagala, malo pa ne.

Vsi smo tako prikrojeni, da se jezimo na davke, katere moramo plačevati. Pa bi prav za prav morali biti hvaležni za privilegij plačevanja davkov, kajti davki se plačujejo le od premoženja ali dohodkov. Kjer nič ni, tudi davkov ni.

ZAPISNIK
seje clevelandske podružnice Slovenske sekcije ^ šeče se v ponedeljek 7. julija, 1941
Predsednik John Gornik otvo-ri sejo ob 8. uri zvečer v prostorih gl. urada SDZ in poda kratko poročilo o delu, ki ga je izvršila zadnja seja, na kateri je bila clevelandska podružnica formalno organizirana. Glavna svr-ha te' skupine bo, zbirati denarna sredstva v pomoč našemu ljudstvu v domovini in pošiljati ga na gl. blagajnika v Chicagu.
Vendar pred nami je mnogo tež kega dela in mnogo sej bo treba, predno bo akcija v polnem teku.
Razveseljivo je to, da so vsi naši časopisi z nami. Poleg tega je treba tudi z veseljem priznati, da ima Slovenska sekcija JPO dobre voditelje na čelu. Br. Rogelj n. pr. je prav od začetka v akciji in je dobro informiran o vsem, kar se je doslej v tem pogledu napravilo.
Prečitana so imena odbora, ki je bil izvoljen na prošli seji:
John Gornik, predsednik;
Johanna Mervar, 1. podpredsednica;
Matt Petrovich, 2. podpredsednik ;
John Pezdirtz, tajnik;
Frances Rupert, blagajničarka;
Vatro J. Grili, zapisnikar;
Janko N. Rogelj, Josephine Zakrajšek, Chas. Benevol, nadzorniki.
Navzoči so vsi z izjemo br.
Petrovicha, ki je zadržan po drugih opravkih.
Br. Grili prečita zapisnik prve seje, ki je sprejet s pojasnilnim dodatkom, da Slovenska sekcija JPO ne bo imela nobenega o-pravka s pošiljanjem paketov za vojne ujetnike, temveč se to prepušča posameznikom.
Br. Gornik vprašuje, če se bo rabilo kaka pravila. Br. Rogelj pojasni, da bo Slovenska sekcija kmalu imela pravila, nakar je sklenjeno, da se počaka, dokler ise to ne zgodi, in če bo treba kakih dodatkov, se to napravi pozneje.
Br. Gornik porQČa p prejemu čeka za $300.00 od tvrdke Perko & Zink ter da se je Mr. John j Perkotu, predsedniku iste, pis-! meno zahvalil za velikodušni dar. Na predlog br. Roglja je sklenjeno, da se denar naloži ni čekovni račun pod imenom clevelandske podružnice Slov. sek-cije JPQ. Dalje je sklenjeno, da se tajniku SS br. Jos. Zalarju sporoči, da je v Clevelandu organiziran odbor, da dobimo čar-S ter.
Na predlog br. Roglja je sklenjeno, da se vse čeke izdaja proti podpisu treh odbornikov: predsednika, tajnika in blagajničarke.
Razmotriva se naročilo pisemskega papirja in kovert za clevelandsko podružnico. Sklenjeno je, da se oboje naroči, kakor hitro se od tajnika SS prejme čarter in dobi naša podružnica svojo številko. Rogelj sugestira,
I da se pobotne knjižice tako sestavi, da bodo vsebovale tripli-kate; en list dobi darovatelj,
drugega se izroči
blagajn1^ K tretjega pa obdrži nabiratelJ A( svoj rekord. Za enkrat se	^
500 knjižic za nabiranje	^
in tiskarna naj obdrži eventualno poznejšo rabo. A ■	;
vine se razdeli enako meCi V slovenski lokalni tiskarni- > \ [% Br. Gornik obljubi, da	^
bavil primerno knjigo, v ka	^
bo blagajničarka beležila Sfe jemke in izdatke, in pa za zapisnikarja. Pečata ?e^j( Ny naroči, dokler ne dobim0 ®e' j ke in čarterja.
Br. Gornik tudi obljubi, d ^ bo obrnil na sodnika Frai1'®^ ^ Lauscheta s prošnjo, da § me mesto častnega predse I clevelandske podružnice ((|J sekcije JPO, ako pa bi 111 ne bilo mogoče, da na-stop1 govornik na sestanku vseh I štvenih uradnikov v Cleve -katerega se bo sklica)0 v enega meseca, da se ^ za zbiranje darov spravi v razmah.
Sestra Zakrajšek je nlI^0i)i da bi akcija bolje uspela. a se društva organizirala meznih naselbinah, kot St- ^ sko okrožje, Collinwood, ^ Side, Euclid, itd. Istega ^ je br. Rogelj, ki priporo1;^ se k akciji pritegne z^aS, • bi!3 narodne domove, ki naj središča vsakega okrožji .jJ ^ njeno je, da se sugestije , v upoštev, kadar bo PrlS za to.	: f ^
Br. Rogelj poroča, da ,J0,)iiir S voril z Mr. Augustom _A .je- JS drom, ki je izrazil nost sodelovati z našo 1'^j^ nico. Poročilo se z zados^^je ^ vzame na znanje in *zra!,alidf( j? mnenje, da bi bil Mr. Ko izvrstna pomoč sestri ci \ kot pomožni blagajnik. ^ S]C' ^ njegov urad nahaja v	^

hotter by the minute. Yes, we are getting a lot of hot, dry weather.
How did you other juveniles spend the Fourth? This is how I spent mine. In the morning I went with one of our neighbors to City Park in Denver. We took our lunch and stayed until evening. As we were walking around the zoo, we came to an unusual cage. It had all the playground equipment a child would have in its background. We decided to see what it was all about. As we looked around we saw a sign on the cage which read: “Performances— 10:00 a. m.—2-3-4 and 5 p. m. There on the side of the large cage were three small ones. In each one there was a bear. We waited until two o’clock. Then the trainer and the keeper came in.
The bear did a lot of things on the equipment. These are J;he two that I liked best. Two of the bears went up the ladder on the slide, but were kind of frightened to come down so they hid their faces and slowly came down. The trainer took a pair of roller skates from a shelf and put them on the other bear. He didn’t know how to roller-skate so of course he fell down a lot. Everybody was laughing at him, so he was ashamed of himself. He went right over to his box and sat down. The trainer had to come and take off the roller skates.
We went to the museum where we saw a lot of interesting things. They remodeled some places in it since last year.
After we came home my brother took my cousin and me to see the fireworks in Longmont, Colo. The American League was sponsoring it. They had all the usual fireworks and new ones. Some formed water-falls and some formed designs of all different shapes and sizes. They had a large frame standing in the field..One man lit it and it formed a pink elephant. The next one that was lit formed the American flag. It had all the right colors in the right place. It even had all of the forty-eight stars, each five covered. After a lot of other fireworks they lit another one which read “Good-Night” on it. After that they had a very interesting ball game, which Longmont won.
Hedy Sterle your article on that old 1933 Nova Doba was very interesting. Yes, my brother Vic did write to the Nova Doba in Slovene. He’s married now and he is still in the good old AFU.
In closing I wish all the delegates to the Fourth Juvenile Convention a happy trip and a very enjoyable stay at Ely. I’m sure you all worked hard and deserve the vacation; When you get back be sure to write-'all of you, and tell us, who won’t be there, about it.
I must close now so until next month.

DEAR EDITOR:
The first thing I want to write in this letter is to thank you for the dollar you sent me. I met Mrs. Zurga, our secretary, and she told me I had received a dollar. I was so surprised I almost jumped out of my shoes. It isn’t often I get a dollar.
The month of August is nearing and soon all the delegates will be going to Ely to the Fourth Juvenile Convention. I can hardly wait and I bet the other delegates can hardly wait too.
There was a big carnival in Chisholm. The name of it was the Johnny J. Jones Exposition. It was right on the Fourth and lasted five days. The most important part in it was Clyde Beatty and his trained tigers and lions. And the rides! There was at least twelve. The last night of the carnival it rained. The side-shows got pretty much busi-

DEAR READERS:
Like most boys and girls of our Union who write to the Children’s Page, there are times when I cannot find any subject or idea to write about.
The other day as I sat and thought and thought what to write about, a brilliant idea came to me. I sat and thought for a moment longer. Should I? Or shouldn’t I? Yes, I will try it. It is something new for the Children’s Page.
My idea was to write about the university my sister Anne attends. I plan to write my article describing the University buildings, and the activities of the school by interviewing Anne each week. I felt that the readers of the page would like to read about an American University. But if my idea is wrong Little Stan get busy and shoot my article in the basket. I have spent many Sunday afternoons at the University with my sister, and since you cannot visit it in person I will try to give you a picture of it each week through my stories. In this first article, I will tell you about the buildings/ and a few general facts about Kent State University as I have seen it and as Ann has told me. I wish to thank you for the two-dollar check awarded to me for my last article. (Ed.: You’re welcome! This article sounds excellent.)
AS I SEE IT The first time I visited Kent State University I beheld a beautiful array of buildings on green sloping hills. Tall, graceful trees provided shelter from the warm afternoon sun. At the entrance of the gate stood many boys and girls in typical college style. The campus appealed to me so I decided to find out more about Kent thru my sister.
Kent State University is located in a typical college^ town of some 6,000 people on the banks of\ the Cuyahoga River in Portage County, Ohio.
The University is situated on a beautiful campus of 103 acres of rolling-ground covered with an abundant growth of trees of every variety. Most of the fourteen buildings are arranged in a semi-circle1 near the crest of a wooded hillside.
In the woods behind, on the back campus are many grills for picnics and weiner roasts, many wild flowers grow there amid many trees. Squirrels, chip-monks and frogs can be seen frolicking on the lawn under the spreading chestnut trees.
K. S. U. opened in May 1913 as a Normal School with Dr. John E. Mc-Gilvery now President Emeritus, as its first president.
The enrollment was a mere 300 compared to the 3,000 enrolled now. It grew rapidly in size. In 1929 the Normal School became known as Kent State College. In 1935 its name was changed to Kent State University. It now has three departments—Liberal Arts, Business Administration and
Education.
It is here that students each year find much happiness in its well-equipped buildings, namely: Merrill Hall, Training School, Rockwell Library, Administration Building, Kent Hall, Mc-Gilvery Hall, Heating Plant, Music Hall, Wills Gymnasium and four dormitories—Lowry, Moulton, Engleman Halls and Summit Hall for Negro girls The buildings have a total valuation of more than three million dollars, while their equipment, including libraries, furniture, and Laboratory apparatus is valued at nearly xhalf a million dollars.
The Administration building contains the offices of the President and the Deans. It also contains the dispensary, Treasurer’s office, and Registrar’s office. In the center of the building stands a big case with the calendar of the activities for the year. Here also is the auditorium which seats 1500.
In Kent Hall are located the Department of Art, Economics, Education, Foreign Language, Home Economics, Psychology, Sociology and Speech, This building also contains a book store and an air conditioned sound-proof Radio
workshop.
Merrill Hall is primarily a classroom building for department of English, Journalism, History, Social Science, Mathematics, Music and Business Administration.
It is in Rockwell Library amid the 65 000 bound volumes and 250 current magazines that students spend many hours studying and doing research work. The main room of the library has tall marble pillars. The exterior walls of the white building have names of famous writers carved on them. Such names of Plato, Lamb, Euripedes and others can be found.
The Training School with its accommodations for kindergarten, elementary Jr. and Sr. High School departments, is a place used for students to practice their teaching. It contains a library, auditorium, gymnasium, science laboratories and music, industrial arts, printing and Horqe Economics rooms.
Wills Gymnasium is one of the largest and most completely equipped in the State. It also includes a swimming pool. Besides being used for sports it is used for dancing.
The Heating Plant is a new building just opened last year. It is the most important building because it keeps the students warm by supplying heat to all the buildings. Part of the building is used for industrial arts.
Another building just opened last fall is McGilvery, a million dollajr science building. In it are many physics,
biology, and chemistry laboratories, with every convenience as distilled water, gas, hot and cold water, and batteries at each table. The large lecture room, more like an auditorium, seats hundreds. The building is air-conditioned and has beautiful linoleum-covered hallways. I think every boy and girl in the science department is proud of this building because it is so modern and beautiful. It also contains lounges, a museum, an animal and recreation room.
Since many of the students live far, there are dormitories for girls. Lowry Hall, for freshmen only—has single and double rooms for 120 girls. Some of the rooms are arranged in suites. That is 4 girls share 3 rooms—two bedrooms and a study. In here are also located the two dining halls and the kitchen. Moulton houses about 100 girls in its single and double rooms. It contains a large music room and infirmary. Engleman Hall is the nicest of all since it is only 3 years old. This dorm is for 233 upperclass women. It. has single and double rooms. On each floor is s a kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink and stove made in one big piece. There are telephones on each floor. It has a large living room and also a roof garden with an outside fireplace. I think the girls enjoy living in the dorms very much. There are always parties and social affairs. Each week the girls gather in their pajamas and housecoats for a house meeting. Each dorm has its own officers. Hours are set for girls to be in the dormitory but no housemother goes up and down the hall and turns out lights at a set hour. Nor bend down on her hands and knees to listen for muffled laughter or peep for lights that might be covered. The girls live like one happy family.

ST. MICHAEL, PA.
June 30, 1941
DEAR EDITOR:
Ouch! My sunburn! The other day I was working on our dam and did I get sunburnt! Every year ten to fifteen boys build a dam where one can get cooled a little these hot, June days.
School let out June 5.1 passed all my Freshman subjects.
Recently St. Michael has become interested in Boy Scouts. They organized Troop 45, but too many boys were eager to become scoiits, so they reversed the number and organized another Troop No. 54. I am a second class scout in Troop 54, also a patrol leader. The scouts have held two skating parties to buy equipment. On June 20, 21, 22 we went to a Council Camporee held near Johnstown, Pa. There were more than 800 boys and 200 leaders and assistants present. The Camporee is held to see if the boys know enough to make standard campers. To make standard a troop must have 50% scouts present and make more than 50 points out of a possible 1,000. I’m happy that Troop 54 was one of the Troops to make standard.	*	,
On Saturday night June 21 the council campfire was held. Different troops performed stunts. There were fireworks after the campfire. We got home on Sunday, the 22nd about 5 o’clock.
I think (I mean “I hope”) that July 20 is a clear, warm day because our lodge AFU No. 185 is holding a picnic. Everybody from everywhere is invited.

NEW DERRY, PA.
DEAR EDITOR:
Gree whiz! I promised you I would write, and I have, until now, broken it. But school is out, and I have been on my vacation for two weeks. I have been at my sister’s place at Ligonier, Pa., a summer resort at the foot of the famous Blue Ridge Mountains.
Here there are nice little cottages along the road. They are trimmed in green, red, and white. A little chair in some, and a little tree, provides shelter from the sun.
One day my sister took me to the beach and I saw a lot of children playing and swimming. A big diving board seemed to be a lot of fun. At Ligonier playgrounds, there are swings, and I enjoyed going there. There are many other things for children to play with. But here I am home again for the Fourth of July.
My brother came home from Erie, planning to stay a few days. The latter has two children and I like them very much.
Rain spoiled a lot of Our fun on the Fourth. Especially those who wanted to picnic outside. My aunt was in favor of having a picnic in connection, with our family re-union. Instead we had a party in the house. Thanks to my aunt and uncle for the good time we had.
We have nice weather here, and the vegetables and other foodstuffs in the garden are growing nicely.
When the Nova Doba came, I did not see many articles so I guess the hot weather must keep everybody away. That’s all for this time. Bye and good-luck to all readers and writers.

DEAR EDITOR:
July is here and you sure can tell it. What I mean is that the Fourth of July just went by and it is getting
ness because the people wanted to get out of the rain.
One of my friends is calling me now so I’ll have to stop.
So long until next month when my pen will be busy again.

DEAR LITTLE STAN AND READERS: Did I really see a letter from Utah in one of the recent Nova Dobas or was I dreaming? It looks like we’ll soon have a mystery story coming from out Utah way. Elsie Desmond’s plea to the silent states for letters must have done some good.
I think that we should all give our two young writers a big hand for even thinking of writing. So, I’m saying for myself, and for the rest of the readers, too, “Bernice Prosen and Josephine Pelan we are very glad to know that you are representing the eight-year-olds on our Magic Carpet and we all wish that you would write more often. So stand up girls and take a bow.
One of the best paragraphs that I have ever read was printed in Hedy Sterle’s article. Yes, I mean the one that she copied from the eight-year-old article written by Miss Elizabeth Kress. It seems that there is the same condition now as to writers as there was then. And when the time comes (if it ever does )when we can say Miss Kress’ words do not apply to the Magic Carpet of the day; that will be the day when we shall say to ourselves—"Our work is done, we have reached our goal at last.”
A few weeks ago I bought myself a book of Grace Harlowe Stories by Jessie Graham Flower. I finished the book a few days ago and I must say they were about the best stories I’ve ever read. I’m very interested in the particular style of the author. The stories all started out as adventures but as I read on they changed to mystery stories and ended as thrilling melodramas. All of the stories had bits of humor mixed in. The stories are all 'very good and they are good reading.
Here comes another one of my so-called poems:
“CALL TO THE SILENT”
We’re sending a call out for letters From states who were silent before We’re hoping to make our page larger Yes, larger than ever before We’re waiting to see swarms of letters From states who were silent ’till now We’re waiting to give all new writers Our welcoming spirited bow We’re hoping to hear from new writers Who write of their thoughts and their dreams
We’re waiting to read more new stories Of murders of plots and of schemes I’m hoping that this bit of nonsense Is doing somebody some good But I shant be hurt if it doesn’t ’Cause I didn’t think that it would.
Goodbye—good luck and KEEP ’EM FLYING.
Anna Hiti, Lodge 144, AFU
couldn’t help but making the exact statement as Anna Hiti of Hazel Park, Mich.—that “Mail one letter and start. another” and it’s really a very good motto. I wonder how many more of you feel the same way about it. I know that all our Honor Roll students feel that way. If you haven’t tried it, do, and you’ll see how nice it is. Thank you for co-operating with me, Anna and making a plea to the juveniles of those states who have never written, namely: Washington, Wyoming, Indiana, Oregon, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Nebraska ,New York, Kansas, and Missouri. Come on and join the wonderful juvenile section of our Nova Doba.
Too bad Anna, but the pesmond Theatre is just a coincidence. Thanks for letting me know about it though.
If I’m ever in that certain town I hope to see it . . .
Supreme trustee, Mr. Frank Vrani-char is teaching his children the real AFU spirit by having Marie writing for our paper and helping her in campaigning so that she is now a juvenile delegate to the Fourth Juvenile Convention. Nice article too, Marie. What about another one soon? . . . Florence Prosen writes in about hobbies and hopes to announce her surprise this week . . . Steffie Okorn of Denver writes in her article for July and what about urging your brother to write too, Steffie? . . .
Well, Dorothy Martinčič it was hard work but you finally made it so that you’ll be delegate to a wonderful Union’s convention to take place within a few weeks. Congrats! Now what about inviting your new members, personally to write for the Juvenile Page ... Is that a promise now, Dot? ... Well, really thanks a lot for the compliment, Mary Smith of Montana, but you know I’m really so much interested in promoting a bigger, better Juvenile Page that that’s my reason for encouraging more juveniles and new members to write for our section. I’m getting older too and soon I won’t be able to have articles in this certain part of the N. D. That Is why we must all encourage the youngsters so they can do their share and keep this section “flying high!” as Anna says . . . Next on our list comes my very good friend, Florence “Dolly” Startz of Ely with a long interesting column and very “newsy.” You certainly must have had a good time on your Girl Scout trip according to your letter. Congratulations to your dear Mom for being appointed a representative of Avon Products Co., Dolly... and little sister (who said she was little, pardon my mistake, but quite a big girl now); Marge completes the page with the closing letter. Yes, I really had to laugh too, when Hedy Sterle wrote about how Stan Progar lost that bet about the Louis-Conn fight and had to wheel his friend on a wagon. Boy—
Save some more interesting articles for August, Marge—now don’t forget and to all other juveniles please write for the month of August so that you will be proud to say you made the Merit Roll.
Best regards to all juveniles and adult readers.

HOMER CITY, PA. DEAR EDITOR:
I haven’t written an article for July, so I’d better get started. Last week was old Home Week in Homer City, and the carnival was in town! My girlfriend and I went to see the parade Tuesday. It wasn’t a very big parade, but Homer City had new uniforms. (Ed.—Band uniforms?)	i
I went to the carnival three times last week, and I had a lot of fun. There will be another carnival starting July 30th. I am saving money so I can go to it.
August will soon be here and the delegates will board the train to Ely. I wish I could be one of them, but I guess I’ll never be one because our lodge isn’t very active.
A new hobby that I have is crocheting. I think it is a lot of fun to crochet. I have over fifty different patterns and some clothes which I am very proud of.
During the summer, my favorite sport is bicycle-riding. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t spend at least an hour on my brother’s bike.
I also like to go swimming, but there isn’t any place to go near here. I wish I could go to my sister’s place this summer, but I guess I won’t be able to.
Before I close, I want to thank you for the dollar you sent me. It came right when I most needed it.. Tuesday is my brother’s birthday and he will be 15 years old. He is learning to drive a car, and as soon as he is 16, he’s going to get a driver’s license.
I asked him to write to the Nova Doba, but he said he didn’t have time to write letters. My sister said the same thing but when I get a reward they say they will right a letter. But they just never do.
I like to read the juvenile articles, especially those written by Elsie Desmond and the Startz sisters. I can’t write very good articles, but I want to keep on the honor roll so I write about anything I can think of—just so I have an article each month. (You’ve got the right spirit, and Little Stan thinks your articles are fine f—Ed.)
I don’t have to say that I hope the delegates have a wonderful time in Ely because I know they will. I have nothing more to write about so I guess I’ll say so-long until next time.

CLEVELAND, OHIO DEAR EDITOR AND READERS:
The month of July certainly whizzed in quickly! So here is the promised article for this month. To begin with 1 wish to thank Little Stan and the supreme officers for the $2.00 check I received the beginning of July.
At times I get ready to write my articles for the Juvenile Page and I just can’t think of what to put down in words. Even reporters get that way at times. So whatever the remainder of this letter consists of, I hope it will be OK with the rest of you juveniles. Reading our Juvenile letters last week:

FLEXIBLE 3NAKE:
Just something one may ipake when he feels the yen to use a jack knife. It needs only a sharp knife, a straight shoot of poplar or other semi hard wood, some glue and a little imagination.
The shoot may be say from 18" to 30" in length and from %" to 1%" hi diameter at the head end. Unless the bark is well hardened, remove it and cut away all knots and buds. Lay out the divisions, say twenty to twenty-five and whittle the head so the eyes, mouth and teeth are suggest^. Make the cuts about the angles suggested but rather drawn together as the smaller tail end is approached. Cut almost halfway through at the oenter but leave enough wood to hold the shoot straight after the cuts have been made. Cut a piece of canvas, 8 oz. or 10 oz.
the same shape as the taper of the shoot.
Start at the head, split it, remove the head and glue it together with rather thick glue holding the parts against the canvas with rubber bands or small clamps. Cut each section, split each on the vertical center line and accurately glue each side to the canvas back; clean away the glue which squeezes out. Hold in position until glue is well set, Paint as desired, say black or white or make cuts red and body color a medl um or dark brown or green. The eyes may be painted or holes may be drilled and glass beads held hi place with glue or shellac. The mouth and teeth may be cut with tl\e sharp point of a knife and the teeth pieked out with red or with red and black accents.
380 Wylie Avenue STRABANE, PA.
DEAR EDITOR:
First of all I want to express my hearty congratulations to all of those who have qualified as delegates to the Fourth Juvenile Convention. To those of you who haven’t, I wish you better luck next time. At learft you can say that you tried, and anything is worth trying for the AFU. Due to my illness I had a very late start in the campaign, and was unable to get the required number of points.
I know that those of you who will be Ely-bound in August will have a grand time. I’m saying this not because I’ve experienced a trip tQ Ely which I hope to some day, but from all I had read and heard of the last convention. I got the details from Veronica Barbie and Stan Progar, and I can assure you that Stan surely did give me the details! Well, I wish you all a happy journey.
Summertime reminds me of hobbies since most of us have more spare time to devote to them. By the way, that was a swell article that you wro±e about ■ hobbies, Florence Prosen. I am devoting this letter to my hobbies, hoping that the rest of you will also write and tell us about your favorite hobby. Then if you need any help, as in your collections, maybe one of us might be able to help you out.
I collect: postcards, pictures, stamps, various magazines, candid shots, recipes, cookbooks, fancy pins, jewelry, miniature objects for my charm bracelet which already represents quite a number of people, souvenirs, and dogs (not live ones). I also manage to write a poem or two when the above hobbies give me some spare time. Aside from collections, I also have other hobbies which include various sports and writing to pen pals throughout the United States.
It would take a book if I were to give you the details of the above hobbies, so I will devote the rest of my letter to my favorite hobby which is collecting postcards.	,,
It was in the middle of June, 1940, ,(1 when I first began to take an interest ,a in postcards. I spent most of my time ,1|fn reading magazines and books. After)r (i v reading several articles in which the , writers requested pen pal?, 1 decided to write to some in my spare time. Upon receiving answers, they nearly all sent me a few postcards. Some went on vacations to different states and sent me cards from there. They were so interesting that I decided to collect them as a hobby. In writing to different people. a was swpf^ed^ had the same hobby.
I like this hobby because it’s so interesting compared to the others. In this hobby I always look forward to the day when I will have them from every state. Then, if the occasion permits, I want to go and see the points of interest which my postcards display.
At the present I have postcards from 34 different states. It would take too much space to name them.
About one-half of the cards that I have pertain to history. In these, I have several famous buildings, memorials, and monuments. There, are two cards .which I’m especially proud of. One i. the last “Overland Trail” stage tfoach which made its way from Colorado to Wyoming in 1866. The other is the famous “Old Kentucky Home.
The other half of the cards Petain to scenery. These are all so beautiful that I cannot describe them I have cards with gardens, rocks, parks, falls, forests, salt beds, Ogden Canyon, rivers, and mountaihs.
My future hobby will be collecting postcards from foreign countries This will be hard, and I still haven t figured out how I’ll go about it.
In getting cards from foreign countries, it will be fun comparing them with” the cards of United States. It will be interesting to point out the differences and resemblances of the foreign towns and cities with those of our own. Also the difference in their type of photography compared to that oi our own.
Several benefits may be derived from this hobby. It unables you to know more about the world’s most interesting places. I always had a desire to travel but the various cards aroused in me a still greater interest for travel.
In looking at t#ie cards, you see some things which you never thought existed. Some cards show how beautiful nature really is, and this only makes you appreciate nature more than you did before. Others show monuments of great men wHo played such an important part in the settlement of the greatest country in the world, our good old USA.
I always find postcards an interesting topic for conversation. When you show them to friends or strangers, they nearly always remember reading or seeing something about at least one card. This increases your knowledge of the cards and makes you appreciate them more than ever.
Until the -next time, it’s just one of
vour scribblers signing off.
Frances Zele,
No. 149, AFU
p g__i would appreciate it very much if all of you readers and writers of the Magic Carpet would send me a card or two with your autograph on it.
I’ll certainly welcome your cards, and in exchange. I’ll send you some from here.

Mojo rojstno domovino imam v mislih. Mislim na mater, spominjam se očeta, bratje in sestre mi silijo v spomin, prijateljev je tam nebroj, kakor tudi znancev. In koliko je onih, ki jih ne poznam, pa so mi bratje po krvi, po govorici, po smehu in po trpljenju.
Moja domovina onkraj morja je oblečena v žalno obleko; Veliki petek je objel mojo rojstno domovino od vzhoda do zahoda, od severa do juga. Oče Triglav še ni gledal strašnejših dni v Sloveniji; Soča, Sava in Drava so danes tri velike, tužne in skeleče solze. Strahotno je danes misliti v kako strahotno in pošastno trpljenje in bridkost je zavita ta moja in tvoja slovenska zemlja.
Na križ je pribit slovenski narod: izropan, preganjan, zaničevan in lačen. V senci bajonetov in vislic preživlja temne in težke dneve, a noči so še strašrfejše, ker v teh bolestnih in strahotnih nočeh izginjajo iz domqv očetje in mladeniči, ki ob zarjah svinčeno težkih dnevov čakajo na smrt ob sivih slovenskih zidovih. Puške pokajo, ugasujejo mlada in nadepolna življenja zavestnih in narodnih mučenikov.
To ni več Veliki petek, to je grozoten in ognjen pekel, iz katerega ni več povratka za vse one, katere je obsenčila zverinska in mrzla senca poosebljenega nemškega hudiča: barbara in tolovaja in blazneža, kateremu pomaga našemljeni laški krvenik, a pošteni in verni narod trepeta v strahu in bolesti, da mu zastaja kri v srcih in žilah.
Cerkve, šole, narodni in sc kolski in ljudski domovi so zaprti; svečeniki, učitelji, pisatelji in narodni borci so strti, duševno ubiti ali zaprti, a marsikateri izmed njih je zakopan kot ničvredni razbojnik v očeh zverinskih osvoje-valcev slovenske zemlje.
To je dolgo in neskončno do, ki se je vsesalo v nemirno in razburjeno slovensko kri onkraj morja. In kri ni voda! Tudi mi smo iz te»žlahtne 'krvi, tudi mi smo.del tega trpečega in umirajočega naroda, tudi mi pojemo slovensko pesem in govorimo slovensko besedo, zato tudi mi bolestno čutimo to veliko in grozno bol, ki jo prenaša naš, na križ pribiti narod v naši rojstni domovini.
In če čutimo nečloveško trpljenje in strahote ljudi naše krvi, ljudi, ki so naši krvni bratje in krvne sestre, ali bomo stali zakrknjeni in nedostopni za vsako pomoč, katera bo kdaj mogoča?
V robstvu ječi naš narod, jekleni jarmi zajedajo sklonjene vratove, tuga je razpletla črne lase preko vasi in mest, pod križem kleči naš narod, in ti križi so zasajeni po vsej domovini, da, ta naša domovina je s križi ograjena. In preko teh križev gledamo mi, če bi mogli pomagati in Če bo pomoč kdaj mogoča.
Mi samo gledamo, mi samo ugibamo ter se pogovarjamo. S temi pogledi in ugibanjem samo grešimo proti največji človeški usmiljenosti. Mi srečni, bogati in svobodni ameriški Slovenci moramo imeti v sebi tudi toplo in iskreno srce do svojega nesrečnega in trpečega brata in sestre. Saj smo iz krvi in mesa, saj imamo razum in vero, proste roke in dolarje, da lahko pomagamo.
✓
Nevem, če je po božji ali človeški pravici še mogoče, da bi se našel samo eden Slovenec ali Slovenka v Ameriki, ki bi neverno in zavestno odrekel pomoč. Če je tak človek med nami, potem se po njegovem srcu ne pretaka slovenska kri.
Onkraj temno modrega in zelenega morja leži slovenska zemlja, na tej dragi in vzljubljeni domači zemlji jočejo tisoči in tisoči naših ljudi; goreče in proseče, skrivoma in tiho mislijo in prosijo; v vznemirjenih sanjah strahoma in pritajeno sanjajo o nas ameriških Slovencih, o edini in še ostali tolažbi in pomoči, ki jim je ostala v njih življenju na tem razburkanem svetu. Samo mi jim še lahko pomagamo, — samo ameriški Slovenci.
Samo mi smo še njih nada in upanje, samo v tej nadi in upanju je še plaha iskra'do obnovljenega življenja. Preplašeni in molčeči z bolestnimi duševnimi ranami tožijo soncu, luni in zvezdam, ki se iz dneva v noč vračajo na nebesni obok kot dobri in zanesljivi prijatelji v trpki narodni nesreči. Tem nebesnim prijateljem podnevi in ponoči izročajo svoje tople in bratske pozdrave, da naj jih izročajo bratom in sestram onkraj širokega morja, kjer še živi slovenski narod pod svobodnim soncem.
Samo še ta vez je ostala med nami: toplo sonce, tiha luna in solzne zvezdice.
Zganite se Slovenci in Slovenke v Ameriki, odprite vaša čuteča srca, delajte, organizirajte in nabirajte dolarje za uteho, tolažbo in pomoč onim, ki so vaše krvi, saj kri ni — voda.

V mestu Graham, North Carolina, je nedavno župan Charles N. Jones poročil neki zamorski parček. Ko je po zavrženi ceremoniji srečni ženin vprašal, koliko je dolžan, je župan odgovoril: “Ah; plačaj, kolikor se ti zdi vredno.” Črnec je segel v žep in izročil županu srebrn kvo-der. Župan pa se je od svoje strani tudi hotel izkazati za gentlemana in je ženinu vrnil iz kvodra še 15 centov drobiža. Tako je bila uradno, dasi indirektno ugotovljena vrednost črne zamorske lilije.

Vsaka država naše Unije ima svojo državno cvetko. V tej procesiji najdemo vse vse mogoče cvetlice, od vrtnice, vijolice, na-geljna, jazmina, jabolčnega cveta in magnolije, do lovorja, gloga, kaktusa in prerijskega pelina. Nob&ia država pa še ni počastila krompirjevega cveta, dasi je krompir, odkar ga človeštvo kultivira, preprečil največ pomanjkanja med preprostimi ljudmi in dasi je krompir izvirno ameriška rastlina.

Diktatorji jemljejo same sebe silno resno. Isto velja dostikrat za male narodiče, za male skupine in za domišljave posameznike. Najmanjše nasprotovanje in navadno nagajivo izzivanje jih spravi “v luft” in penečo jezo. Šale taki ljudje ne poznajo, ker so premajhni, da bi videli preko svojih ozkih ograj.
Amerika je velika, širokogrudna, v lastno moč zaupajoča in mlada, zato pozna šalo in se zabava z njo, četudi gre na njer. račun. Američani znajo biti tudi resni in znajo izvesti vse, česar se lotijo. Izraza “nemogoče” ni n^jti v ameriškem praktičnem življenju. Tudi ameriški vojaki so se še vselej sijajno izkazali, kadar se je šlo zares. Toda to j jim ne kali njihove mladostne j razigranosti v manj važnih pri-| merih.
! Pred par tedni #e je v bližini 1 nekega vojaškega taborišča na ; jugu pripetilo, da so vojaki, I marširajoči mimo nekega igri-
šča za golf, z “juhu” klici pozdravljali tam se zavirajoče južne krasotice in si z nagajivimi opazkami privoščili tudi svojega generala, ki jih je očetovsko posvaril. Seveda, fantje generala niso takoj spoznali, ker je bil oblečen civilno in je igral golf. Za kazen je potem tista pregrešna skupina vojakov mo* rala v stoprocentni vročini južnega sonca marširati 15 milj daleč.
Afera je zašla v časopisje in celo v kongresno zbornico, toda vzbudila je zelo malo ogorčenja, pač pa cele salve smeha. Danes se aferi smeje ves narod, vključno poldrugi milijon vojakov. Stoteri uredniki in kartunisti izrabljajo zdaj tisti nedolžni vojaški “juhu” na vse mile viže. Iz tega izvirajoče šale so posebno zdaj v pasjih dneh vredne milijone dolarjev, zaradi milijonov smehov, ki jih producirajo. Zdi se, da bo zdaj običajni narodni pozdrav “halo” nadomeščen z “juhu.” Zato naj bo tudi ta kolona danes zaključena z — juhu!

Lepo priznanje je dobil slovenski zdravnik dr. R. F. Antončič, ki inta svoj urad na 10515
Carnegie Avfe. v Clevelandu, Ohio, s tem, da sta bili dve njegovi zdravniško znanstveni razpravi priobčeni v zdravniških publikacijah. Meseca aprila je bila v reviji Surgery, Gynecology and Obstretrics priobčena razprava o delovanju črevesja. Meseca maja pa je revija Annals of Survery priobčila njegovo izčrpno razpravo o operacijah želodčnih uljes. To kaže, da se tu rojena slovenska generacija uspešno uveljavlja na vseh ameriških poljih, tudi na polju zdravstva,
SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
je, da se na rusko-nemški fronti ne bori komunistična stranka, ampak se proti nemškim legi-{jam bori ruski narod, da reši j svojo, zemljo in svoj narodni i obstanek. Willkie je mnenja, da če bi se zrušila ruska fronta, bi se nacijska poplava tako razlila, da bi kmalu dosegla tudi našo deželo.
PO ZAKLJUČKU VOJNE
Državni podtajnik Sumner Welles je ob priliki polaganja vogelnega kamna za povečanje norveškega poslaniškega poslopja v Washingtonu izjavil, da ne more biti miru, dokler ne bo nacijska vlada v Nemčiji zdrobljena. P° vojni/se bo morala urediti družina narodov, ki bo izvedla razorožitev in branila pravice vsakega naroda v narodnem in ekonomskem oziru. Taka skupščina narodov bo morala imeti moč, da izsili svoje zaključke napram tistim, ki bi se jim upirali *z lastnih sebičnih namenov,
FANTJE SE KREGAJO
Vrfjni tajnik Henry L. Stim-son si je pretekli teden privoščil apizarskega sen at orja Wheeler ja iz Montane, kateremu je očital postopanje, ki da skoro meji na izdajstvo. Dokazal je, da je Wheeler kot sena-
tor poštnine prosto pošiljal po-| žive vojakom, da protestirajo] pri predsedniku v z a d e v i j obrambnih priprav. Wheeler je priznal, >da je bilo razposlanih | okrog milijon takih pozivov med prebivalstvo Zedinjenih držav ter jih je lahko nekaj našlo tudi pot med vojake. Od svoje strani je zafrknil Stimsona, da je prestar za odgovorni urad vojnega tajnika.
DOBRODOŠLI Ameriški mornariški vojaki, ki so bili nedavno poslani na Islandijo, da jo obvarujejo preteče nemške zasedbe, so bili od prebivalstva splošno prijazno sprejeti. In čim dalje so ameriški vojaki tam, tem bolj si pridobivajo srca prebivalstva. Domačinom se dopade njihova prijaznost in dostojnost in posebno še njihova brzina, s katero izvršijo vsako delo. Domače časopisje piše, da bi se moglo prebivalstvo otoka marsikaj naučiti iz ameriške podjetnosti.
MALO NEDRŽAVLJANOV
V Zedinjenih državah je ob tem času manj tujih državljanov kot jih je bilo kdaj prej tekom obstoja te republike. Vsega skupaj je v Zedinjenih državah približno 4,742,000 nedržavlja-nov, kar predstavlja komaj tri in pol odstotka skupnega prebivalstva. Dve petini teh nedržav-ljanov ima že prve papirje in bodo v predpisanem času postali polnopravni ameriški državljani. Med nedržavljani je največ Italijanov, namreč 660,000; 450,000 je Canadčanov, 430,000 Poljakov in 360,000 Nemcev.
VOJNA SITUACIJA
Ruska fronta še vedno drži, kar je v protislovju s prerokovanji skoro vseh tako zvanih vojnih ekspertov. Nacijske legije, ki jih dosedaj še ni nihče ustavil, se zdi, da so ustavljene na vsej dolgi ruski fronti, že dva tedna navajajo poročila od obeh strani ista mesta, za katera ali okoli katerih se vrši vojna ,kar kaže, da ruska fronta v splošnem drži. Nemci napadajo z vso srditostjo in Rusi te napade z enako odločnostjo odbijajo. Vojskovanje valovi sem in tja in fronta se zajeda zdaj sem Z(\aj tja, tvla v glavnem je fronta že zadnjih par tednov na istem mestu. Nemška poročila se navadno glase, da njihove armade napredujejo po načrtu. Priznavajo pa pri tem, da njihovo napredovanje ovirajo slaba pota, deževno vreme in nenavaden odpor Rusov.
Tako na ruski kot na nemški strani so vedno v akciji tudi vojna letala, kar ponovno in ponovno pobija nemško trditev, ki so jo poslali v svet že prve dni vojne, namreč, da je ruska letalska , sila uničena. Ruski letalci so baje popolnoma uničili oljne vrelce v Ploesti, Rumuni-ja, katera so seveda kontrolirali in izkoriščali Nemci. Neki ruski poveljnik se je izrazil, da je od Ploesti ostalo samo še ime.
Iz Londona se poroča, da je Harry L. Hopkins, administrator za ameriško materialno pomoč Angležem in drugim, ki se borijo proti nacijem in fašistom, konferiral z ruskim poslanikom Ivanom Majskim. 'Sodi se, da sta razpravljala, na kak način hi mogla Amerika pomagati Rusiji v njenem boju z Nemci. Iz Moskve- se poroča, da se Nemci pripravljajo na rabo strupenih plinov v vojni. To da dokazujejo zaplenjeni nemški dokumenti. V sedanji vojni dosedaj strupenih plinov še niso rabili.
V francoske kolonije v Afriki, katere kontrolira vojaštvo “svobodne Francije,” dan za dnem prihajajo begunci iz Francije same ali iz kolonij, ki so še pod j staro francosko vlado v Vichyu; I ti begunci se baje pridružujejo! četam generala Do Gaulleja ozi- j roma svobodne Francije. Moč, svobodne Francije na ta načih vedno raste.

KAKO OBČUTIJO VOJNO V NEMČIJI
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
jimi strupenimi napadi na Zedinjene države in na predsednika Roosevelta napravlja na čjtate-lje vtis, da Amerika končno le vstopi v vojno na strani Anglije in Rusije. Starejše nemško prebivalstvo se še dobro spominja, kaj je pomenil vstop Amerike v zadnjo svetovno vojno.
V vseh dosedanjih vojnih kampanjah so imeli Nemci primeroma malo izgub. Vojna na ruski fronti pa je povsem nekaj drugega. Nemške bolnišnice so prenapolnjene z ranjenci in to daje prebivalstvu misliti, koliko utegne biti mrtvih in ujetih. Tisočere nemške družine so ali bodo prizadete. Tudi to prinaša vojno domov v Nemčijo.
Kljub zasužnjen ju in izropanju skoro vse Evrope gre v Nemčiji trda za živež in druge potrebščine. V, prvi vrsti je seveda treba skrbeti za vojake, in tako ostane za civilno prebivalstvo malo ali nič. Za osebo je dovoljeno samo 400 gramov mesa na teden. Prave kave ni, ampak le nadomestila. Možje stojijo po dnevnem delu cele ure pred prodajalnami tobaka, da dobijo po pet cigaret, ki jih je dovoljenih na dan, in še v tistih je malo pravega tobaka, če sploh kaj. Krompirja in zelenjave je v trgovinah težko dobiti toliko kot dovoljujejo tedenski odmerki. Sladkorčkov se more kupiti le 20 komadov mesečno na osebo. Pivo je slabo in se sme prodajati le od poldvji-najstih dopoldne do tretje ure popoldne ter od sedme do desete ure zvečer, toda le eno ča-

Scribe Gets Broiled in 100 Degree Heat Wave
TYPEWRITER CLOGGED WITH PERSPIRATION
By Little Stan
Cleveland, 0. —
The dream of being in cool Northern Minnesota t h e se last few days was the only mental thing that kept this elongated scribe from being broiled alive in the Na-Littie stan lion’s latest heat wave. Thermometers in Cleveland soared to a new all-time high—reaching a frying-pan peak of 103 degrees! Besides having sent the “machine” up to Ely, Minn., this scribe was really lost being unable to attend the picnic sponsored by Struthers Cardinals on Sunday.

For a fellow who is used to the cool night temperatures in Northern Minnesota, this weather really wrecked havoc with his figure. Besides “melting off” about 12-pounds, he tried everything in the world to keep cool. But nothing worked.
Perspiration oozed from every cell. This Monday morning it

Q. What is the reason for buying a Defense Bond?
A. To keep America free. To show your faith and pride in your country. To warn foreign dictators that the United Stales is the strongest in the world.
Q. But if I do not have enough money to buy a Defense Bond, what can I do?
A. Buy Defense Postal Stamps, on sale almost everywhere. Your post office, bank, department store or druggist has them, or can get them fpr you, at 10 cents upward. Save enough Stamps to exchange for a Defense Bond.
NOTE:—To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office or bank, or write for information to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C.

STRABANE AFU LODGE PLANS PICNIC AUG. 24th. AFFAIR AT DRENIK’S PARK
Strabane, Pa. — Definite date for the picnic to be sponsored by Lodge No. 149, AFU, of Strabane is Sunday, August 24th. Scene of this event will be in Drenik’s Park.
Members are requested and invited to attend the next meeting of the lodge, scheduled Sunday, August 10th at 2 p. m. in the regular quarters. Here additional plans for the lodge picnic will be discussed and acted upon. This will avoid any criticism after the event is over.
The date and place are definitely selected. Drenik’s Park on Sunday, August 24th. Dance music will be supplied by ^,ack Martincic’s orchestra.
Other lodges in the vicinity are requested to take note of our picnic d;^te, and avoid any conflicting dates of scheduled affairs. To have another picnic
in the same vicinity at the same time would be detrimental financially to both affairs.
Assessments
'There are a number of members who are behind in their as^ sessments. Assessments must be paid each and every month. Don’t rely on the secretary to pay for you. Who pays the see retary’s assessments? Those who do not pay their assessments and dues on time will be suspended. Everyone is urged to look in their assessment due book and see how far in advance they are paid up. Then make certain you are up to date in payments of your dues by paying up immediately, and keeping that practice in effect each month.
John Boles, sec’y Lodge No. 149, AFU
Postpone August Meeting for One Week
Secretary Will Attend Juvenile Convention
Milwaukee, Wis. — Members of Lodge No. 225, AFU, are hereby notified that our regular scheduled lodge meeting;on the third Sunday/of August has been postponed until the FOURTH Sunday in August. This decision was made at the July meeting of our lodge and was made to allow the secretary to attend the Fourth Juvenile Convention in Ely, Minn., as honorary delegate.
All members are asked to keep this date in mind—August 24th—the fourth Sunday of August instead of the third.
Pan Your Dues
Those members who do not attend meetings regularly are requested to pay stricter attention in paying their dues each month. Some people figure it
Doctor Will Speak
Dr, F. J. Arch
Krayn, Pa. — Dr. F. J. Arch, Pittsburgh, Pa., supreme medical examiner for our American Fraternal Union, will be principal speaker Sunday, August 3rd, when Lodge No. 136 of Krayn, Pa., commemorates their 20th Anniversary.
doesn’t make any difference whether their dues are paid on time or not. This is my last notice.
Up until now I have paid dues for members for six months in some cases. I will not do so from this day on.
Those who do not pay on time will be suspended.
If this should happen to them, they should not be angry with the secretary. It makes it very disagreeable for the secretary when the members do not work and cooperate with her.
Because I do not get your cooperation, I plan to give up my books and position at the annual meeting next December. Then it will be up to you to elect a secretary, whoever it may be.
Represented Lodge Individually
Our lodge has been represented in the Fourth Juvenile Convention and New Name Campaign only because I entered the campaign as candidate for honorary delegate, and without any help, enrolled enough new members and gained mv quota. ALL OTHER MEMBERS FAILED TO ENROLL A SINGLE NEW MEMBER.
Only one member helped me by giving me information relative to a certain family who wanted to join. This family I contacted and enrolled.
Our lodge has a fine enrollment of members and we could have many more if the members would cooperate in a brotherly and fraternal manner.
Pauline Vogrich, sec’y Lodge No. 225, AFU.
Agnes Segota
Roslyn, Wash. — Thrilled to the core is Miss Agnes Segota, pictured above, who is the second qualified honorary delegate to the 4th Juvenile convention from the state of Washington. Daughter of Mrs. Ivka Segota, secretary of Lodge No. 39, AFU, of Roslyn, Agnes is looking forward to her first trip out of the famous “Evergreen State,” and it’s going to be some trip—from the Pacific Coast to the Iron Ranges of Minnesota, north of Lake Superior!
In her first official story to the Nova Doba, she said:
“This is the first time I have ever written to the Nova Doba, and it is quite difficult t(f start writing. But I guess it’s just like eating olives—the first are the hardest to swallow, then you gradually begin to like them.
“I know that the members are all waiting to read what I have to say about the great honor. I’m so excited, I really don’t know what to say.
“I wish to thank all the members of the lodge for their help in enrolling new members and special thanks to my mother, Mrs. Ivka Segota, secretary of American Fraternal U n i o n, Lodge No. 39.
“AFU Lodge No. 39 has now reached its highest peak in new members in the adult and juvenile departments since it was organized in Roslyn on Oct. 5, 1902. It still keeps getting new members, and we now believe that No. 39 has the largest number of new members of lodges in the state of Washington!
“Our members take great pride in an organization such as ours, and they’re doing everything to keep it the best.
“I am looking forward to meeting you all in Ely, Minn.,
1and Pm sure that I’ll have a pleasant visit. For this is also my first visit out of the “Evergreen State.”
“Thanks again, to each and everyone.
“Until next time—then—” Agnes Segota, Lodge No. 39, AFU.

Dolores Kozar
Ely, Minn. — Another happy delegate from the city of our home office and the Minnesota “Gopher” state is pretty Dolores Kozar, a regular delegate from Lodge No. 2. Her sister, Leona, was pictured recently. This lodge has qualified six delegates in all. Dolores’ daddy, Mr. An ton Kozar is a butcher at Ely Cooperative store, and has always been a fine worker for the lodge. Pictures of other delegates from Lodge No. 2, not yet received are: Frank L. Shepel, Louis Perushek, secretary; and “Leonard “Sunny” Perushek, his son. Lodge No. 2 has truly carved an impressive niche in our New Name Campaign.

LODGE 155 PICNIC AUG. 10th; LODGE MEETING ONE HOUR EARLIER
Blaine, O. — Plans for a picnic under the sponsorship of Lodge No. 155 were initiated at a meeting of the Lodge held Sunday, July 13th. Members designated Sunday, August 10th as the big picnic day and selected the grounds near the SN-PJ Home at Blaine, Ohio as the site for the affair.
Meet One Hour Earlier
Our monthly lodge meeting on the same day, August 10th, will begin one hour earlier than usual. This will be at 1 p. m. The picnic begins at 2 p. m. Members are urged they attend in full numbers; first to participate in the lodge meeting; then to get together at the picnic immediately afterward. Excellent music will be furnished by the sons of Joseph Skoff, Barton, Ohio, who have a fine orchestra.
Everyone Invited All friends and neighbors in the vicinity are welcome to attend the picnic. Members are urged not to forget to attend, and bring along your friends and everyone you know. The bigger the crowd; the better the time!
Don’t forget the date:—Sunday, August 10th!

Cleveland, O. — It was another successful out-of-town picnic—yes, the Cardinals of Struthers, Ohio who proved to be fine sponsors of a grand picnic.
Traveling in Dorothy Rossa’s ’41 Mercury with Albina Gruden, Rose Rossa and Ed Tomsic, we were sorry to see that two other members of the party weren’t at home when we made sq many calls for them. (They were to go with the gang).
Anyhow our first stop was at Girard where the Rossa girls had to participate in a parade with the Frances Susel Cadets of Cleveland and also with all other Cadet teams of Cleveland in dedication of the newly organized Trumbull Cadets of the S. W. U. at the Slovenian Home. After the parade there was more drilling and speeches and another program held inside the Slovenian Home.
Saw Marge Okolish our Miss Barberton, met her girl friends and talked to Mrs. Okolish. As time was slipping by and the temperature going up, we thought we’d better leave to see some of the picnickers.
Arriving around 5 p. m. saw that the so-called dance floor didn’t have so many dancers so as to waken things up, Rose, Albina and I began the dancing which lasted till past 12—I1 guess. Bumped into our Steve Millson whom Dot took home to dress up ’cause he was in his baseball uniform. Pleasure of remeeting Rose Slabe . . . Sister Mollie working behind the bar on refreshment tickets all day... Saw sis Angie too . . . Enjoyed some talking with brother A1 and met Mrs. Slabe and her married daughter and husband . . . Also met Ed Glavic’s two charming sisters and Ed himself working behind the bar . . . Gigolo did a good share of work too . . . Johnny Opeka from Barberton treating and telling us he attended B. R.’s Barn Dance too . . . We missed Steve Babich ... Talked to Chuck Orenic who would like to see those pictures we took of him and his brothers . . . OK Chuck . . . Just saw Mickey Orenic and his wife but didn’t (Continued on page 7)
(Continued from page 5)
Jackets going to town! Saw Martich standing at the gate with a couple of other fellows, checking the passengers for admission tickets as they came in. Looked aga/in and saw none other than Johnny Opeka from Barberton. That Barberton group really backs up these AFU affairs 100 per cents! Johnny was on vacation last week with his wife and daughter Betty. Before entering the barn met his wife and Betty, and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ujcic of Barberton.
Was informed that Jakey Novak, who recently returned from an extended visit to Minnesota and saw that girl, is the proud daddy of a baby boy! Congratulations! Saw one of Johnny Opeka’s cirgars—titled in cellophane—“It’s a boy!” Save one for Little Stan, Jake! A nice crowd really made the third of the Betsy Ross dances a granc success all the way. Until a one stage, some guys remember ed that Little Stan hadn’t pait his admission. Dancing, these guys walk right up to this elon gated scribe, wrap their arms around his legs, hoist him into the air, and carry him outside Luckily, Rose Rossa, the girl he was dancing with, didn’t meet the same fate! After all Little Stan wore long pants! Heh Heh ♦ *
A grand evening of fun. These B. R. members certainly go out of their way to show people a swell time. Perfect hosts! Patsy Krall was scheduled to take his Army medical exam Monday and we’re anxiously awaiting to hear the outcome. Two other fellows were also scheduled to go. Saw Bro. Bokal, home for a visit from Camp Shelby. And he looked great. Saw his sister Mayme, and brothers Henry a the Malavašič drums, and the other Bokal. Nice gang. Znidar, Zagorc and the boys from St John’s; a nice gang from Na-predek’s led by Frank Sesek Looked around for Billy Z., and saw him playing the guitar in the . orchestra! Matty didn’ make the B. R. trip—but wen home early. Red Zamen was going to town. Joe Kozar, a new member of Betsy Ross, is plan ning to spend his vacation in Ely during the Fourth Juvenile Convention. The Bartovich family are his relations there, and Joe will surely have a grant time. Saw the Plevnik girls— Alice and Betty, but darn it didn’t get a chance to dance.
* *
Working diligently behind the bar—Mr. and Mrs. Starman, Johnny Lunka, who offered birthday c o n g r atulations didn’t get a chance to last week, he said.— Mike Krall and his Mrs. who was taking care of the dough re-mi!—George Kovitch and Ivan Rožance. Really a swell get-together. Lots of other names, too. But the heat got the memory. You know how it is! Gazed out the window, and saw a fellow get initiated into the order of the No-pants department. Worth quite a laugh. Albina Nose and her chum were there, too. That Barn does draw a nice crowd. Heard too, that Betsy Ross pulled one out of the bag, stopping the undefeated league-leading Collinwood Boosters last Friday by scoring a 6 to 3 win. An upset for the books!
Seeking a way to go home. Had to use the thumb, and the Napredek’s stepped in. Already having a full load of seven passengers, they squeezed Little Stan’s long legs, and Billy Z., into the rear seat of Frank Se-sek’s Ahs-tin—to make it nine in all—and drove back to town. Took a street car home from 5-points and E. 152 street. There’s going to a a water shortage in Lake Erie—Little Stan is drinking it all!
Almost forgot about IW * cin— Was going to pay . for the ride both ways to Barn, but didn’t get a to see him. So much in a & I to get in, even forgot to admission. But Billy sai told him that “Bog bo Plafi But Ikey couldn’t wait f°r , ^ —said he wanted kesh m01 Heh Heh!

The mountain side Ts lined with heavy cables and scaffolding where men hang precariously when at work. The tour was very interesting. It’s a great project and every tourist should make it a point to visit it.
Social Notes
Among social notes which rate time on this “broadcast” comes first the party being given in honor of the John Pod-breggars who will celebrate their 40th year of wedded bliss on July 27. This will be a double celebration as it also marks the 50th year of the arrival of Mr. Podbreggar to this country. Congratulations!
Keep July 31st in Mind
Local Slavic club members will do well to keep in mind the 31st of July. Besides a fine quiz there will be other surprises. Refreshments will be served. The committee Frank Anicich, Mary Turnbull and yours truly promise you an enjoyable evening. Be there, won’t you?
Annual Picnics
On Aug. 3rd the Slovenian ladies will hold their annual picnic at Podbreggar’s farm. This will be an old time affair with plenty of “slovenskih pesmi,” accordion music, and just plenty of all around good time. When the Slovenian ladies of Krain and Enumclaw sponsor an affair you can be sure there never is a dull moment. It’s definitely “na svidenje!” on'Aug.
3, at Podbreggar’s farm.
Another important Slavic social event will be the annual picnic and dance sponsored by the American Slavic Federation of Wash., on Labor Day, Sept. 1st at Lonely Acres, near Renton Junction. Another great event you can’t afford to pass up.
Community Saddened .
The community of Krain very recently was saddened by the passing of two of its loyal citizens on July 5th. Mrs. Katherine Malneritch, age 73, passed away at her home. Mrs. Malneritch was one of the real pioneers of this community having resided here for 51 years. With Mr. Malneritch she was one of a number of early pioneers who turned the community around Krain into one of this district’s most thriving sections.
On July 3rd the sudden pass-j ing ofN Anton Gore, member of ! lodge 162 AFU shocked the J community. Brother Gore was i only 46 years of age. On com-i plaint that he wasn’t well, his ! wife took him to a Seattle hos-I pital. As he was laid on the op-1 erating table he passed away.
Surviving are his wife, Mary; two daughters, Mrs. Margaret Grove, and Marion Gore; his mother, Mrs. Frances Gore; one sister, Mrs. Fannie Ramshak and one grandson. Our deepest! sympathies to both bereaved families.

ONWARD BETSY ROSS!
By Dorothy Rossa
Cleveland, O. — The third and last Betsy Ross Barn Dance was right in tune with the two previous ones. As bef ore, a record-breaking crowd was in atendance and they stayed until the wee hours of the morning. We were very glad to see all those out-of-towners, and we’re sure they all had a grand time. What happened to the gang from Gowanda? We were sorry not to see them at the dance as we had expected to from Patsy’s report.
Blackie Krall and Ivan Rožance have certainly worked very hard at all three dances. To John Lunka, Mr. and Mrs. Starman, Mr. and Mrs. Kovitch and son, Mah, J. P. Morgan, Catherine Krall, Ike Kocin and Eddie Kocin; and all the rest of the members who worked Sat. evening, we send out thanks.
At the dance, we saw: An-othef soldier Boy, Tony Bokal, home from Georgia, and evidently enjoying himself immediately; Bill Jerse, the fellow who can jitterbug a polka and really swing it; St. John’s Marty Yerie keeping at a safe distance from Utopian E. J. Tomšič whose thumb he helped fracture in the last baseball game; The three St. John Musketeers sporting their new royal blue shirts: Stan Zagorc, Frank Žnidar, and Henry Bokal; Patsy Krall, Frank Kurret, and Ernie Straincar celebrating their en listment in the army for three years; Little Stan, Bill Zbasnik having a good time; Little Stan finally got initiated by thaCol-linwood fellows; he got bounced and that’s just what we mean, bounced right outside by huskies Johnny Vicic, Eugene •March, and Edward Marinčič; ^ we can’t help but give three ( cheers for St. John’s Henry Bokal whose remark we overheard: “Let’s play a little longer on our own. It’s for Betsy
Ross.” More people; and more,

fun. In fact, we’re sorry that we j didn’t schedule several more1 Barn Dances for this year because we sure had fun.
Several Betsy Ross, Collin-wood Boosters, and other Clevelanders headed for Struthers and the Cardinal’s picnic last Sunday.
The first part of the afternoon was spent in participating in the Debut of the Trumbull Cadets of Girard and Niles,. Ohio. Congratulations to the new team on their very attrac-i tive new uniforms and also on their excellent drill work.
Immediately after this affair, we made our way to the Cardinal’s picnic. The first Collin-wood Booster we met told us thej game was won by the Collin-wood Boosters. However the i first Cardinal we met reported J that the Cardinals had come! out on top. We finally put twoj and two together and came to j j to the conclusion that it was a double header with each of the, teams having one game to its credit.
When we think of Struthers we think of the Glavic’s and the Slabe’s who as per usual were busily at work yesterday. Mollie was kept busy all day gelling refreshment tickets. We were glad to see again Mrs. Slabe and Rose but we missed Angie.
other Washington lodge on the : honor list.
| Say did you know that there ; once was:	.
A little brown Hindu Who lived in the village of Vindu; Now away off there They have no underwear I So he made his little brotyn-skin do.
With that I leave you. Good ■ day!
Ed Glavic would be a most welcome addition to the Betsy Ross Lodge if he works as energetically all the time as he did Sunday chasing around town for more ice. Your scribe took time out to meet the Glavic household. Our memory is too poor to recall all the names but we do know that Ed and Steve have some pretty nice sisters and brothers and an equally nice mother.
We’re wondering if Uncle Sam appreciates the enthusiastic work of one Strutherite. We’re talking about Steve Millsom and his National Defense Program. Reports from Headquarters indicate that his program is alright with per haps a few changes. One of them being the field of concentration from British Relief and Parkerfield to the Slovenes and Cleveland.
Don Ameche and his five dollar straw hat almost came to the parting of ways at the picnic grounds but we understand that it is now once again back on Stan’s head—we think.
It seemed to be Cigar Day for Ed Tomsic in Struthers yesterday. The first presentation was two cigars which nearly put E. J. to sleep but the other boys really envied him when he got a series of the real McCoy.
We actually saw Elsie Desmond blush when asked several times if she was “the Elsie Desmond.” Nice going, Elsie.
So to Struthers and the Cardinals: Thanks for a nice time and we’ll be seeing you again soon. And to Steve: Thanks for that autographed straw hat. Three cheers for the Betsy Ross baseball team. It seems that although the boys have been having a losing streak for a spell, they finally made up their mind to win a game, and pick on the Champion team. The Betsy Ross nine whipped the Col-linwood Booster’s to the tune of 6 to 3. Keep it up, Boys—there’s a lot of the season left yet.
At the last meeting, the Betsy Ross voted to bu^ shares
I which are being sold to help | cover expenses for the additions ! and renovation of the Slovenian
Hall on Holmes Avenue.
It seems that all the Betsy Ross members helped Patsy Krall’s girl friend, Catherine Cinkole, celebrate her birthday last Friday. Best wishes, Catherine.
The bowling season starts officially right after Labor Day. All Betsy Rdss bowlers interested in participating in the teams this year are asked to please attend the next monthly meeting at which time, plans for the bowlers will be made.
All Betsy Ross members and friends axe invited to attend the BETSY ROSS BIKE RIDE ' which is being held this Friday*
II August 1st. The meeting place ' i3 at the Slovenian Hall on 1 Holmes Avenue at 7 p. m. Re-1, member the more the merrier.
: We’ll be looking for you Boost-' i ers, Napredeks, Illirska Vila, St. 'j John’s, and Struthers, too.

Betsy Ross Bike Ride
Cleveland, O. — The Flag-makerg are again ringing thc bell. This time it’s another unique lodge affair. All members and friends are invited to attend the BETSY ROSS BIKE RIDE this Friday, August 1st. Everyone is asked to meet at the Slovenian Hall on Holmes Avenue at 7 p. m. promptly. Like Joe Penner and his duck, everyone is requested to bring their own bikes. However all those who will want to rent a bike, are asked to get in touch with Patsy or Blackie Krall, or Dorothy and Rosemary Rossa.
From what we hear, there should be quite a representation from other Lodges present.
Whether your bike is old or brand new. We don’t care if it’s for or^e and one only, or if it’s a “bicycle built for two.” In fact we don’t even care if it’s a three-wheeler. Just as long as it’s a bike, you’re invited.
No tickets are being sold for the affair. The only expenditure which will be required of you is that each one pay for whatever he orders at the refreshment stand where a stop will be made.
The route planned for the Bike Ride is as follows: Start at 7 p. m- PROMPTLY at the Slovenian Hall on Holmes Avenue. Up Holmes Avenue and East on St. Clair to East 185th Street, down East 185th and the Boulevard and to Manners where a stop will be made for all those who wish to quench their thirst or fill up on food. The path back will be retraced along the same way.
St. John’s Musketeers have notified us that they will attend. Ditto for the Struthers gang, and a great many others.
We’ll be looking' for all of you and we’re guaranteeing everyone another grand time at a Betsy Ross affair.

NAPREDEK SPORTS CAST
Euclid, O.—Napredek Sports had an uneventful week just passed, with no games scheduled. However, they did get in some practice for the interesting game to be held on Wednesday of this week with St. John’s. Judging by the upset of the Betsy Ross-Collinwood Booster game, anything can happen. It seems all teams are hitting their stride now, which may furnish the balance of the season with some surprises.
Coming Sunday, August 3rd, Napredek Sports of Euclid are taking a trip to the friendly neighboring city of Barberton. The Collinwood Boosters, too, are going to be visitors there that day. So, it looks like a good double-header with St. Martin’s Barberton team. Weather permitting, the event should draw a good AFU crowd, and we invite all our fans to come along and cheer for the Sports. We are expecting to leave about noon Sunday, all our players to have their uniforms cleaned and ready for action.
Noticed the last of a trio of Betsy Ross barn dances was well attended, including a lot of AFU ball players, with Ed-! die Zivkovic, Joey Klein, Frankie Zagar, and Nick helping to hold up the Napredek end. Keeping us company was also ' Stan Zagorc and Frank Znidar I of St. John’s. The three successful Betsy Ross barn dances, as ! well as their recent victory over the Callin'wood Boosters, should help to give Patsy Krall a happy send-off into army life this week, Patsy, I know, will be . missed not only by the Betsy Rossers, but by the whole AFU Softball League. Jlere’s wish-1 ing him best luck from all the

get a chance to talk with them... Wonder why Barberton left so parly? Marge Okolish and her girl friends came down later after their participation in the parade in Girard . . . Collinwood Boosters certainly played a good ball game—so good that they won Cardinals in a final score of 3-2 but Cardinals showed fine spirit when they came back in their second game against Barberton, winning by a high score . . . Although missed the ball game, we heard all about it . . . Boley Evancic seeming to be in fine spirits . . . Those Boosters—Starman, Loy-chie, Struna all coming without their wives . . . That’s all the folks there were from Cleveland . . . Cleveland gives thanks to the Cardinals for some swell hospitality.

The Betsy Ross dances are over with now and the members wish to thank sincerely every-
members of the Napredek team.

Our thanks and coopera-: tion should go to all of them, j
Collinwood Boosters, by the; way, are sporting new and neat | outfits ,too, and they, as well | as our Napredek Sports should make an impressive day at Barberton next Sunday. Will be seeing you there.

To pot je prvič nagovoril Lindo tisto jutro. Učiteljica S3 je zdrznila spričo nasilja, ki ga je Kalebova šaljivost le rahlo zastirala. Poskusila se je nasmeh-jati Juditi, ki navidezno ni slišala očetovega napada.
Po zajtrku je odšla Judita molst in Linda jo je spremila. Kravja staja je bila na eni stra-. ni zastrta z vrbami žalujkami, ki so poganjale drobno popje. V tisto oddaljeno stran je odvedla Judita svojo kravo.
“Tamkaj je malo lepše,” je pojasnjevala.
Lope za govedo in zaklonišča za druge živali so bila narejena iz sivih hlodov. Dasi je bilo vreme še hladno in rezko, so bile nizke strehe že porasle z bledo-zelenim mahom. Vdrtine v kravjih ogradah so bile trde ko cement, kajti že več tednov ni ne! deževalo ne snežilo, in so spominjale Lindo na črteže na zemljevidih, ki so jih otroci delali v šoli. Globokih stopinj goveda ni bilo skoraj več mogoče razločevati od človeških, ki so bile pomešane z njimi. Primrznile soj od zimskega mraza in le pomladanski dež bi jih mogel zabrisati.
“Kdaj se nehali hoditi v šole, Judita?” je vprašala Linda. Sedla je na kamen poleg deklice in opazovala ravni beli curek mleka, ki je ^ tenkim, sikajočim šumom brizgal v dno golide.! Krava je imela nežnosvetle bor ke, repa so se 'ji držali strjeni koščki gnoja. Žival je gledala z okroglimi, plahimi očmi zvedavo čez pleča in prežvekovala.j “Lani sem bila v šoli — sled-! nje predpoldne. Letos je menda j ne bom videla vse leto. Zadniii čas ni nič^ovoril o tem. Pozimi j je nekaj omenil glede šole in j veselila sem se je že. Ali zdi sel mi, da' ni mislil resno.”
Linda je čutila, da ji ponov-j no vstaja v srcu ogorčenost do Kaleba. Zlobno se ji je zdelo,; kratiti dekletu izobrazbo, ki se ji je nudila tako od blizu.
“Ali, dušica, nima li vaša mati prav nobene besede glede tega?! Ali bi želeli obiskovati šolo?” “Želeti in hoditi je dvoje raz-1 ličnih stvarij” je odvrnila, upi-raje oči v posodo med koleni.
“Toda Judita,” je dejala Linda resno in se sklonila k njej, “ali res ni mogoče nič ukreniti, da bi se mogli šolati — ali ne more opraviti tukaj brez vas?” “M ore pač, ali noče. Škoda besed o tem.”
Zajetno telo Judite se je premaknilo na pručici. Zdelo se je, da se je preplašila tega razgo-l vora, ki se je tako tesno dotikal njenih srčnih želja.
Linda je vstala in se dot^ni-la Juditine rame. V tem hipu se je prikazal Kaleb izza skednja. Ošinil je z ostrim pogledom deklici in se nato namenoma ozrl v stran.
“Bolje je, da se odstranite. Ni mu všeč, da ste tukaj,” je rekla Judita.
Linda ni mogla kaj, da se nc bi čutila krivo, in se je napotila preko grapavih tal naza j. Sklenila je, da odide zgodaj v šolo in korenito prezrači učilnico, dokler ne pridejo otroci. Tako bo imela vsaj nekaj opravila.
V.
Kola je stala na pošev Garo-vemu dvorišču nasproti. Bila je nizko, štirikotno poslopje, zgrajeno iz neravnih hlodov. Beli oiret se je že luščil in tu pa tam so odpadale od sten velike skorje. Ponosno je stala tam in se ni sramovala svojega beraatva ob sivozelenem zaslonu borovcev in mecesnov.
Linda bi rada imela Judito prvi dan v šoli. Neki učitelj, ki je prej poučeval v Oelandu, ji je namreč pripovedoval, kako so ga dejansko izcepetali mladi ma-j lopridneži od onstran Lattskega
1 barja, ko je izbruhnil nemir v šoli.
i Ob devetih so nahrumeli v učilnico, vežo in igrališče košati razposajenci, ki so se zbrali od več mili naokoli na ta priznani praznik. Linda je 'vstala izza mize in pozvonila z zvončkom, kar je mahoma napravilo red v zmešnjavi. V učilnici je nastal splošen dirindaj in močnejši izmed gruče so si naglo izbrali najboljše in najoddaljenejše klopi. Linda je pogledala po otro-kih in videla, da so vsi sedeži zasedeni, kar se pač ne bo pripetilo nikoli več vse polletje. Otroci, izmed katerih so bili nekateri do šest čevljev visoki in jim ni bilo mnogo izpod devetnajst let, so prihiteli od vseh strani, celo iz drugih okrajev — polovica od njih zgolj zato, da bi poročali doma starejšim, kakšen dojem je napravila nanje učiteljica v Oelandu. Drugi dan seveda niso nameravali priti v šolo.
Linda se je usedla za mizo in se predstavila. Ko je govorila, je bilo v sobi tiho kakor v grobu. Vse oči so ji bile uprte v obraz.
“Prepričana sem, da se bomo lepo razumeli,” je izpregovorila Linda. “Za danes ostanite na prostorih, kjer ste, a jutri vas bom razvrstila po oddelkih. To bo najbolje, kajne?” Nasmehnila se je dvema rdečeličnima deklicama, ki sta sedeli skupaj pri isti pisalni mizi. Ker ju je na ta način vprašala za mnenje, sta deklici krepko prikimali in nato zašepetali druga drugi, kako lepa je nova učiteljica.
Linda je odprla veliko črno razredno knjigo ter pričela vpisovati njihova imena od vrste do vrste, kakor so sedeli.
“Thorval d s o n Zofija, Ana, Una,” je ponovila Linda imena treh deklic, ki so sedele spredaj s snežnobelimi kitami. Za njimi sta sedela dva dečka iz Yellow Posta, mešanca, ki nista vedela svojih imen^in sta se vsa preplašena ozirala nazaj proti starejšemu bratcu, ki je sedel zadaj.
In tako je nadaljevala. Od Sandbovih, ki so stanovali dve milji vzhodno od Garovih, jih je pet hodilo v šolo; Tu so sedeli otroci črnookega Madžara Klo-vacza. Njihov oče je imel domačijo na vzhodu več milj od Sandbovih. Bjarnasson o v i so prišli od velikega jezera na za-padu. Vozili so se sedem milj od doma do šole. Temnopolti tatarski fantje od severnega obrežja Lattskega barja, ki jih je prisotnost učiteljice hipoma prevzela in obvladala. Večina od njih je bila prestara za šolo in jih drugi dan bržkone ni bilo več tjakaj.
Lindi je odleglo, ko je sprevidela, da si je pridobila otroke. Zdaj ne bo posebnih težav. Ozrla se je po bornih, umitih stenah.
“Dobiti bomo morali nekaj slik,” je dejala. “Ali ne bi hoteli malo slikati?”
Otroci so viharno pritrdili. Majhen islandski dečko iz Nar-rovvsov, z lici ko jabolko in meša nka iz Yellow Posta sta dostojanstveno razdelila po sobi škatlice z barvami in hrapavi papir, ki ga je našla Linda v šolski omari.
Tako se je pričel prvi dan pouka v Oelandu.
VI.
Bilo je v aprilu. Brest je pričel odpirati sluzasto drobno popje in njegovo vejevje se je rahlo škrlatasto in rja^o poUarvalo. Bcmbaževci so bili ovenčani s šopi mačic. Bledo ozračje je napolnila svilena mehkoba in v zemlji so zazevale tople razpoki-ce, ki je iz njih pokukalo sveže zelenje.
Otroci, ki so prihajali dopoldne v šolo, so prinašali s seboj polna naročja dolgih zelenih ma-! čic sive breze. Linda jim *je pojasnjevala, da je to betula lutea, toda otroci so ta naziv hipoma pozabili. Jarki ob gozdni poti so ■ se okitili s pasom kosmičastih j vrb in Linda je slišala neki dan I gostolečo taščico. Po dolgih, rez-

Oprla se je na komolce in j uprla oči v temnordeča lica de-‘ ..lice poleg sebe. Judita je bila več ko tri leta mlajša od Linde, toda učiteljica očividno ni bila tako razkošno lepa kakor deklica, ki je spala poleg nje. Ne-označljiv, toplini sličen vonj je pahtel od nje. Linda se je je rahlo dotaknila, da bi jo prebudila. Juditi so se počasi odprle oči, zastrte kakor pri otroku. Zazehala je in iztegnila okrogle, močne roke. Nato s? je obrnila ter ležala nekaj hipov molče na trebuhu. Linda je skočila s postelje in se je pričela umivati.
“Nič rada ne vstanem,” je izpregovorila Judita z obrazom na blazini. “Nekoč bom imela svileno posteljo in bom ležala v njej na veke; slušala bom, kako mukajo krave tik mene, ip bom vrvela, da mi ni treba vstajati in jih iti napajat.”
Linda se je zasmejala spričo te nenavadne slike, čeprav je občutila v tem nekaj bridkega. Trije novi odločni udarci ob strop so zadoneli in učiteljica se je zvedijivo obrnila k Juditi. ■ Judita je lepo zlezla s poste- -lje in si pričela oblačiti pod i spalno srajco nogavice.
“Morate se podvizati,” je de- . jala Lindi. “Ela že gre dol.” Lindi se je namrdnilo čelo. < “Pravite, da se moram podviza- ' ti, ka-li?”
“Oče ne dovoli, da bi zajtrk ; koga čakal,” je odvrnila Judita ] kratko.
Linda je osupnila. “Saj mora ; biti ura šele pet! Kaj naj poč- < nem slednje jutro do devetih?” je vzkliknila.	,
“Hm!” je odvrnila Judita, ve- j seleč se zlobno zaničevanja, ki ( ga je občutila do učiteljice hkrati z občudovanjem in zavistjo. ' “Lahko bi pomolzli nektrj krav ali šli lovit smrdljivce. Saj jih je neznansko mnogo po grmov-ju. Peter je pravkar enemu na sledu. Ali slišite, kako laja? Ži- , vali ne dišijo zoprno — ne smrdijo — če se človek privadi ‘ njihovemu vonju.”
Učiteljica se je otresla pri- 1 skutnih občutkov, ki jih je čutila do topega Kaleba, in je sklenila pokazati kar- največ dobre j volje do njega. Na vse zadnje je bil ta človek le dokaj zabaven.
Prinesli so na mizo zajtrk, ki i so ga zaužili v skoraj popolnem ‘ molku. To je bila trda dolžnost, -ki so jo izvršili brez užitka. Razen Judite ni bil po vsem videzu-nobedenfczmed otrok povsem buden. Napor prošlega dne je še visel nad njimi ko nadležne sanje.
“Menda bomo tisto ledino na vzhodu na vse zadnje le pre- i orali, Martin,” je dejal Kaleb, se naslonil nazaj in si obrisal z roko brke. “Judita lahko opravi vse to predpoldne, kaj, Martin?”
Martin je zajemal naprej svoj mlečnati močnik. Bil je počasen pri jedi kakor v mišljenju. Pomen očetovih besed mu ni bil povsem jasen. Neumno je bilo posejati to pomlad izorano zem-i ljišče na vzhodu. In Judita naj j bi ga izorala? Tisto polje je bilo trdo in zelo kamnitno, težavno celo za moškega. In niso li govorili o tem, da bi Judita še hodila k predpoldanskemu pouku, kakor je hodila lani, in bi pptem lahko napravila irq.it sa višjo šolo?
“No —” je pričel govoriti Martin resno. Zardel je v obraz, ko je sprevidel, da ne more ugovarjati. "Menda bi lahko jaz opravil tisto. Malo pretežko je za Judito.”
"Pretežko za Judito? Ba! Čuj, Judita? Pravi, da ne bi mogla narediti tega! Mislim, da ni polja, ki ga ne bi ti zmogla, eh, Judita? Dekle, da malo takih, gospodična Archer. Poglejte njene roke! Debelejše.so od mojih. Hi, hi!”
Sharon, Pa. — Tem potom naznanjam članstvu društva Sloga, št. 174 ABZ, da bo program v proslavo društvene 15-letnic.e, ki se bo vršil v soboto
9.	avgusta, sledeči:
Pričetek točno ob 7. uri zvečer. Predsednik pozdravi navzoče. Milie Novak in Richard Robich zapojeta “God Bless America.” Skupna večerja. Frances Novak in Rosie Mlakar zapojeta par slovepskih pesmi. Govore zastopniki lokalnih društev. Kot zastopnik Ameriške bratske zveze nastopi sobrat Anton Okolish. Plesna zabava do polnoči.
Upam, da to jubilejno proslavo .posetijo vsi člani in članice Ameriške bratske zveze, ki bivajo v primerni bližini. Istotako so prijazno vabljeni na poset iste člani drugih bratskih društev v naselbini in okolici. Ob prilikah sličnih prireditev drugih društev, bomo jim pa skušali naklonjenost od naše strani povrniti.
Vsi posetniki so prošeni, da so točni. Program se začne točno ob 7. uri zvečer, zato naj bodo gostje točno na mestu, da se otvoritev ne zavleče. Kot že omejeno ,bo plesna zabava trajala samo do polnoči. Torej naj pridejo gostje pravočasno, da bodo dobili vsega dovolj. Za ples bo igral orkester Happy Serenade, in sicer za plese vseh vrst.
Vstopnica za banket/ki velja tudi za ples, je samo 50 centov za osebo. Posetniki naj si jih v naprej preskrbijo. Vstopnica samo za ples po banketu pa je 25 centov za osebo, člane, ki imajo na rokah vstopnice za banket, prosim, da mi jih izročijo nazaj, ali pa denar za iste, do 3. avgusta zvečer. Vsak član naj stori svojo dolžnost, pa bo naša prireditev gotovo dobro in častno uspela. Pozdrav in na svidenje na večer 9. avgusta! — Za društvo Sloga, št. 174 Ameriške bratske zveze:
Frank Kramar, tajnik.
Meadow Lands, Pa. — člani in članice društva št. 75 Ameriške bratske zveze so vabljeni, da se udeležijo piknika, ki bo prirejen v neddljo 3. avgusta pri Simonovem kamnolomu, član ali članica, ki se ne udeleži tega piknika, plača 25 centov v društveno blagajno. Na prireditev so seveda prijazno vabljeni vsi rojaki in rojakinje, ki bivajo v tem okrožju. Za vse bo dovolj postrežbe in zabave. Upamo, da nas posetijo tudi člani drugih bratskih društev. Ob priliki bomo skušali naklonjenost povrniti od naše strani. Tukaj v Meadow Landsu je itak malokdaj kaka zabava, zato se že spodobi, da posetimo vsaj tiste redke, ki so prirejene. Pozdrav in na svidenje na pikniku v ne deljo 3. avgusta.—Za društvo št. 75 ABZ:
Joseph Murn, tajnik.
Krayn, Pa. — Društvo Jutranja zvezda, št. 136 ABZ, bo obhajalo dvajsetletni o svoje u-stanovitve s piknikom, ki ga priredi v nedeljo 3. avgusta. Piknik se začne ob 1. uri popoldne, ples pa ob 7. uri zvečer. Prostor prireditve: Krayn Park. Glavni odbor jo. pooblastil dr. F. J. Archa, da zastopa glavni
| odbor Ameriške bratske zveze ! na prireditvi. Vsa bratska dru-, štva in vsi rojaki in rojakinje j tega okrožja so vabljeni na po-j set te prireditve. Na svidenje v |nedeljo 3. avgusta! — Za dru-i štvo št. 136 ABZ:
Mary Bavdek, tajnica, j	_____
Strabane, Pa. ~ člani in članice društva Bratska sloga, št. 149 ABZ, so prijazno vabljeni,
I da se gotovo udeleže prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo
10.	avgusta ob 2. uri popoldne v navadnih prostorih. Društvo bo priredilo piknik na 24. avgusta in na prihodnji seji se moramo še marsikaj dogovoriti glede piknika, da potem ne bo kake kritike. Za enkrat je gotovo, da se bo piknik vršil 24. avgusta, da se bo vršil v Drenikovem parku in da bo za ples igral Jacka Martinčiča orkester. Kaj več se bomo pa še na seji pogovorili. Bratska društva v tem okrožju so prošena, da ne bi na isti datum prirejala svojih piknikov ali veselic, ker bi škodovalo na obe strani. Občinstvo v splošnem pa je že zdaj vtčbljeno, da si določi datum 24. avgusta za poset našega piknika.
Člane, ki zaostajajo s svojimi asesmenti, prosim, da bi bili v bodoče bolj točni. Asesment mora biti plačan vsak mesec. Nikar naj se ne zanašajo na tajnika, da bo zanje zalagal. Kdo pa naj njega zalaga? Kdor ne bo plačal pravočasno, bo suspendiran, in naj posledice sam sebi pripiše. Vsak naj pogleda svojo plačilno knjižico in se prepriča, do kdaj ima asesment plačan, in poskrbi,^ da bo za vsak mefeec njegov asesment plačan ob pravem času. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 149 ABZ:
John Boles, tajnik.
Milwaukee, Wis. — Tem potom obveščam članstvo društva Združeni Slovani, št. 225 ABZ, da se naša prihodnja seje ne bo vršila na tretjo, ampak na ČETRTO nedeljo v mesecu, to je 24. avgusta. Tako je bilo sklenjeno na julijski seji. Seja za avgust je bila prestavljena na 24. avgusta zato, ker se bo tajnica udeležila mladinske konvencije v Minnesoti. Prosim člane, da to izpremembo datuma seje upoštevajo.
Dalje opozarjam tiste člane, ki ne prihajajo na seje, da naj se malo bolj brigajo za plačevanje svojih asesmentov. Zdi se, da je nekaterim vseeno, če imajo asesment plačan ob času ali ne. To je moja zadnja opomba. Dosedaj sem za* nekatere z^-kladala tudi po šest mesečev, v bodoče pa ne bom več. Kdor ne bo plačal asesmenta pravočasno, bo suspendiran, in, če se mu v dobi suspendacije kaj pripeti, naj se ne jezi na tajnico, ker ga je suspendirala. Sem se prav pošteno naveličala tajnikovanja, ker člani nečejo sodelovati pri društvu z menoj. V mesecu decembru vam bom tajništvo položila na mizo, pa si izberite za tajnika ali tajnico kogar hočete. Jaz nisem deležna sodelovanja od vas. Tekom kampanje pred 4. mladinsko konvencijo sem se prav sama potrudila, da sem dobila dovolj novih članov za predpisano kvoto, da bo naše društvo reprezentirano. Noben drugi član ni vpisal niti enega novega člana. Samo er. I član mi je nekoliko pomagal s j tem, da mi je dal več naslovov j družin, kamer sem potem šla in jih nagovorila za vpis otrok v! naše društvo. Naše društvo šte-j je lepo število članov, pa bi jih | še več, če bi bilo med članstvom j nekoliko več zanimanja in brat-1
