DVA DNI IN POL ZAKOPAN POD ZEMLJO DRZEN POLET PREKO OCEANA V letalu, težkem 650 fun lov, šel preko Atlantika. Q > London, Anglija. — Neki ameriški letalec, po imenu Thomas H. Smith, se je odpravil na tak polet preko Atlantika, iz Amerike v Evropo, ki se po drznosti lahko primerja svoječas-liemu Lindberghovemu poletu. Za ta svoj čin se je poslužil letala, ki ni tehtalo več kot 650 < funtov. Svojega načrta ni objavljal in ni vprašal za nika-ko dovoljenje za polet. Na tihem, da niti njegovi starši niso vedeli, se je dvignil v zralk blizu Old Orchard Beach, Me., v nedeljo dopoldne, vendar od tedaj naprej se nič več ne ve o njem in boje se, da je tudi on, J kakor že toliko drugih pred njim, postal žrtetf svojega poizkusa. -o- , Shenadoarh, Pa. — S srneh-j 3®m sreče in veselja je 88 ; 111 Premogar Robert Galli- fc ripo, ki je obiskala skoraj vsako hišo. 18. apr. je zvonilo v Cerkljah ob Krki Francetu Zorič, ki je umrl kot narednik v vojni bolnšnici v Zagrebu.

Skoro prepričana sta bila, fla jima opice he bodo sledile v temno luknjo, zaradi bojazni. Obenem ju je pa tudi prevzel strah, da ju morda doleti kaj strašnega . . . ...

Pograbili so ga bili belo oblečeni duhovniki in vrgli na žrtvenik. Chon je začel momljati neko čudno obredno melodijo in obenem, držal obredni nož v roki. "Nikar!"-je pristopila Helena; "moj oče ti ni napravil zlega." "Vi ste prišli," reče Chon, "da poiščete Očeta Dijamantov, in ga nam vzamete, ki je za nas božji simbol, za vas pa samo dragocenost." "Toda," nadaljuje Chon; "Oče Dijamantov leži pogreznjen globoko na dnu svetega jezera." "Nismo prišli zaradi dijamantov," odvrne Helena.

MIROSLAVICH, Editor 3724 Williams Street Denver, Colorado. PROMINENT NATIONAL FRATERNAL MAGAZINE LISTS FINE 1938 JUVENILE INCREASE OF THE WESTERN SLAVONIC ASS'N. The Editor Speaks... ONWARD AND FORWARD TO VICTORY There is an old saying: "On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of U'Hless millions who, at the dawn of victory, sat down'to rest, and resting, iea. How true! And how true it is that we can connect this saying with our Association. In the 30th Anniversary Campaign of last year we made a splendid record, nthusiastic co-operation, spirited interest, diligent efforts and loyal and hard Work brought us success with a victorious achievement. To take advantage of this remarkable stride forward, we hoped to continue the good work on through this year by declaring a Victory Campaign. It will fail to live up to its name of "Victory" unless we surpass the last year's record—or at least equal it. We mu?ft admit that it seems some have "hesitated," some have "sat down to rest," but thank goodness, all of us have not "sat down to rest." One of 'he distinctive qualities of a genuine fraternalist is that lie does constantly Work for his cause of benevolent brotherhood. That is why fraternal societies v nave grown so remarkably well. If all of them would "hesitate" or "sit down to rest," then the great fraternal system would "die." This will never happen, ~~>t will grow and grow,—and the WSA will grow with it. „ This editorial is a direct appeal to you for the same co-operation and that ^Pirit of 1938" you gave so nobly in celebration of our 30th Anniversary. You T not fail, of that we are sure, and we are confident that you will come to >e front. The "dawn of victory" is at hand, we will be victorious if you say So and do all you can td accomplish it. • Everything is in your favor, we have the best there is to offer, everybody . s Eternal protection, our Association's features appel to everyone that ars about it and they arc glad to join because our adult and juvenile depart-as "A "akes't possible for the whole families to be protected, we are as solid t . e "ockies, marching on with plans of a greater future—what an oppor-. '„y for you to enroll new members! But all this is for naught if we "hesi- 0r lf we "sit down to rest." have f°r this Victory Campaign let. all of us put our shoulders to the wheel and In an article of The Fraternal Monitor showing Increases of Juvenile Departments, a list of "More Than S00 During 1938" reporting to that magazine listed the juvenile increase |hen the depression hit the bottom, the Juvenile Movement took on an acceleration of growth and this has been maintained with increasing numerical and financial strenght up to the past year. Despite this fact, the seventeen societies making increase of 500 or more in 1938 show larger aggregate membership than did the twenty-three societies listed under the above heading for 1937. We are proud of the fact that our Association has contributed a substantial number of new juveniles to the ever growing Juvenile Movement It was at the convention of Leadville in 1929 that we took the Juvenile Department seriously and started steps towards its growth and expansion, not only the in sura.nce feature part of it, but for the fraternal training, good citizenship, o-'iaracter building and for the pleasure and enjoyment of our WSA youngsters. We organized juvenile branches in order to carry out this program, and we are constantly trying to impress all the lodges of our organization to establish a juvenile branch in order to work and succeed unitedly in this vital part of our Association. In 1929 we shouted our juvenile cause from the housetops and have since steadily improved in every respect. Many organizations did not show interest in juveniles at that time, but along with us they suddenly seemed to realize the importance -of juveniles for the future and started to do soriiething about it. Sometimes we feel like' we are guilty of stirring up the spirit of juvenile activities and want to take the credit. It does not matter so long as we progress and the others do likewise. All of us are glad to see fraternalism grow and succeed, and by causing our WSA to grow wc contribute to the progress, good and welfare of the Fraternal Benefit Society Field. It is well to boast of our past achievements, but it is better to concentrate on improving our splendid record of last year. 525 new .juveniles in 1938— how many in 1939? In the first four months of the Victory Campaign we enrolled 101 new juveniles (25 per month). We shall have to more than double our efforts if we are to surpass-the record of last year. jjiM!lfl!!ll!lliBI!ll!lllB!l!IIIIUH IliiailBI TRAIL BLAZERS' SECRETARY MAKES APPEAL Denver, Colo. In making this appeal, I am also speaking for all secretaries because we have the same difficulties. They say a secretary is the "heart" of an organization because he contacts all his members, deals^with them in the affairs and problems of the lodge, even personal affairs that connect with fraternal affairs; he has the most important duties of any office in the lodge both at meetings and every day of the month, therefore, he has a real job on his hands that is only as pleasant and easy as the co-operation of the members make it. Nothing pleases a secretary more than to receive the monthly dues on time and it makes him and the other officers happy if the members attend the meeting and perform little things so necessary for the smooth operation of a lodges program. Your presence alone at affairs of the lodge is an en couragement to those who strive to build and maintain a lodge and who so loyally are active for your and my benefit. The very life of an organization is the payment of dues regularly and on time. No one is more liberal and considerate on dues than a fraternal organization. You are not kicked out at once i£ you do not pay up, but we do not know your intentions if you do not remit on time, or if you do not give an excuse for failure to pay. The monthly assessment must be paid to the Supreme Office for all member on the rolls whether or not your dues are in, so that means that we pay for you from the lodge treasury—if you drop out without making good your arrearage, then you have illegally taken laiiiiiaiiuniiiiiiiGnHJiiiBiiiininiiiaiiiiinNiiui^ money out of your brothers and sister's pockebooks. I have several members who have difficulties, but they notify me and I am glad to hold them because they give me their word that all will be well. I hope that I shall not have to suspend anyone because they failed to see me. Have you moved—do ,you get official organ o. k.—what can we do for you—do you need my assistance in the Victory Campaign? See me anytime at 4463 Pearl Street. I am at your service. Next meeting—Monday, June 19.

The United Comrades Juvenile Branch will hold their Annual Summer Picnic at the same time. By all means come spend the day with us at the La Fonda section of Flitch's Gardens, at the north end oi the park, just to the right of the main gate. We would greatly appreciate your using our special tickets for admission. The cost is only 10c each and will benefit the sponsors of the picnic. Tickets may be secured from Mr. Anthony Jersin, 4825 Washington. Mrs. Anna Tezak, 611 E. 47th Ave., Mr. John Plut, 638 Elk' Place, Mrs. Josephine Marring, 4831 Washington, Mr. John Pelcetz, 4463 Pearl or Mr. George Miroslavich at 3724 William Street.

We invite the parents and friends of the WSA juveniles to attend this picnic with the kiddies. It will be a pleasure to meet and enjoy the com pany of the parents of our juvenile members. You are indeed welcome to share in this day of fun with us. The next meeting of your branch will be held on July 23, 2 p. m., in the Slovenian Hall, 4468 Washington St. Your regular meeting of June 25 is postponed because of the picnic. JUVENILE NEWS This is a nice heading and we would like to fill this column with interesting news of our WSA juveniles, their branches and activities, but how can we clo this when no reports come in and no accounts of activities are available. We depend on the juvenile supervisors, juvenile branch officers and members or someone in your city to furnish us with'items of interest concerning the juveniles. Now that school is about over, and your 'time is not taken up by studies, you will find it a lot of fun to work for your juvenile department in the Victory Campaign; you will make some extra casli as commissions and you will acquire credits which may mean a free trip to Chicago in 1941 to the Juvenile Convention. Ask your supervisor or some adult member about this. In Denver, we have several of the Children working hard to get new members so that they will get enough credits to be entitled to go to Chicago. You reecive one credit for every new member, either adult or juvenile, that you or your folks get to join the Association if they remain in the Association for at least one year. When you get 50 such credits, you are sure to be a delegate to the Juvenile Convention. But don't wait—you ir\ust start right now. Have the adult members of your home help you out. Now children, I am very anxious to hear from you. Write a letter or postal card and tell me something interesting about you, your town, your juvenile branch, what you like about our Association or anything at all. Tell ..me if you want a juvenile button, and I Will be happy to send you one. I will publish some of the letters in thi s paper, some I will write about and others will be at least mentioned according to the space we have left to do this. But I do want to know what you are doing for the WSA, what you will do and what you think should be (Jone. Listen Kiddies! Let's call this a contest to last for three months, that will be until September 1st. We will give a prize of one year's dues for the best letter that come in during that time, sjx month's dues for the next best and three month's dues for the third best. Now, this will be fun and you will have good practice in writing, and we will learn something about you and your WSA juvenile activities. But the best thing will be that you may win some free dues. You may write as many letters as you wish at anytime during the next three months. Be sure to give your name, address and the lodge to which you belong. Address your letters or cards to GEO. J. MIROSLAVICH, — 3724 Williams Street, — Denver, Colorado. Information is hereby given that the . All Slavs Congress of Denver will hold a picnic and huge celebration at Elitch's Gardens on Sunday, August 20. Plant to attend. THIS AND THAT— Ain't it the truth—for a man to be a success he has to have a lot of back bone—not wishbone. Orchids to "Betty" whose articles appear every month in our Fraternal Voice. Your articles, Betty, are on various subjects which many of us are prone to overlook, but your wonderful interpretations certainly do revive our interest in your subjects. I'll be looking forward to each of your future contributions—and may they never cease. During one of his many trips our Prexy, Leo Jurjovec, Sr., stopped beside a farmer who was working in the field. Engaging the farmer in a conversation, our head man asked: I "Been having a lot of rain lately, can Us, 'odges, the total strength and the potential success of each Division t>ivis; determined by the activness of each of the several lodges in that epnst't"1 • each Division is comparable to a chain—the entire Division strd,, «>»« the chain and each lodge being a link in that chain—and the total j«th of that Division is no greater than that of its weakest lodge. itiip0J therefore, should be apparent to each of our lodges that they are an each ' aint ''nk 'n that chain which constitutes their Divisfcn, and it is upon of carr!vidual lodge that the success of its Division depends. The duty, then, dutv _ °dge is clear, and the only remaining question is, will they fulfill that Will they shirk it? In the final analysis that question can only be ans\ve ................- ...... -............— T------- -— -- that if ? y ealch of the several lodges, but I can venture an opinion. I say and re members of these several lodges have any respect for the position the [)rPutation of their lodge, and if these same members have any regard for overwj08.ress and welfare of our WSA, then there can be but one answer—an . c'niing success in our Campaign, vital w!ly shouldn't these members do their part? In addition to being a Rlori factor 10us in the growth of our organization, our members have a grand and securhi" °PP°rtunity to take advantage of the pecuniary benefits derived by simPij{-8 ,new members. The problem of obtaining new members is greatly newestle, ^y the adoption of our new insurance policies which embody all the >t certa'3'^ finest insurance features offered by our insurance companies, and decidedi y sh°uld not be much of a problem to convince a person that it is insure^ V •"10re adventageous to belong to a fraternal organization that to be to tak« Wlth an insurance company.

"Will1 you lose much?" inquired Mr. Jurjovec. "Wal' nope," answered the farmer, "I'll jest about break even by liaulin' autos out o' the mud." Expectancies: I hear tell that Mr. and Mrs. George Lah will be expecting a visit from the stork in several months. Mrs. Lah is the former Frances Primozich, daughter of the Second Supreme Vice President of the WSA., Bro. Frank Primozich. Mrs. Frank Poldan tells of an incident that took place while her son and our now Secretary of the Three Star Lodge, Donald Poldan, was about 8 years old. Mrs. Poldan was contemplating a trip to the country and she asked Don how he would l.ike to go out to the country. Came Don's reply: "Gosh, no, Ma, I don't want to go out where there are thrashing machines. It's bad enough to be trashed by hand!" Our good friends, the St. Paul Cadets, held their dance last Saturday, May 6th, and they sure must have had a long evening. The following morning I attended Church and I saw the President of the Cadets, Mr. Anthony Nilles, sitting in Church, but he did not know what was going on. He slept all through M^ss. Wonderings: If a bachelor is a man who has been crossed in love, would you say that a married man is one who has been double crossed? Recuperations'. Sister Paula Ozbolt was operated upon recently for appendicitis and is now well on the road to recovery. Her physiciarj was our Brother, Dr. J. E. Ursich. Bro. Frank Zibert was also on the inactive list for about a wqek or more, but he is now back at work. Sister Conrad Landstattw was busy at work in her kitchen when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw before her a merry old knight of the road who asked for something to eat. She invited him in and gave him something to eat. While he was eating, she uaid to him very sympathetically: "Poor man, I ,suppose j our life has been full of trials." "Yessum," he sighed, "and the worst of it is that I've always been convicted." Absent-mindedness: Eddie Retel and Ray Salmich are. hitting home runs and then forgetting to touch second base and running all the way home respectively. T"lle Marches On! Scribe of 33. ITEMS OF INTEREST It is interesting 4o watch "The Spotlight," a regular department of this page. Trail Blazers have never missed, Three Star, and a few others have been in and out and now Blooming Carnations Lodge comes in for the first time. The Divisions have kept their same positions for the past three months, only the figures have changed and this month the Popovich Division took a commanding lead. The Barometer also shows this. In the Five Leading Lodges, St. Martins is one credit short of being eligible for a prize. The other four lodges are eligible and will share in any prize providing their respective Division reaches the required quota. Outside of figures, the Adult Honor Roll is the same as last month except that No. 5 jumped ahead of No. 9 and No. 21, which has been doing great lately, came in. Who will be crowded out next month? Juvenile Honor Roll changed figures some, but No. 17 was crowded out of the picture and No. 32 came in. All the lodges in three divisions have a total of 135x/i credits. Three lodges in Div. 1 do not have a single credit as yet, seve^ in Div. 2 did not produce and six in Div. 3 failed to show results. All the other lodges have y2 credit or more accumulated. At present, Denver has exactly 1,000 WSA members—515 adult and 485 juvenile—as follows: St. Martins No. 1 has 176 adults, 161 juveniles—total of 337; Queen of Holy Rosary No. 7 has 156 adults, 66 juveniles—total of 222 and Trail Blazers No. 41 has 183 adults, 258 juveniles with total of 441. us all do our best to make this VICTORY CAMPAIGN a truly great success. Remember, by doing your part you are not only helping the WSA, but you are also helping yourself. Fraternally Yours, . ^ . LEO JURJOVEC, SR. ATTEND THE DENVER WSA.

The happily ^edded couple will reside at Sar-gants, Colorado. We extend to them our best wishes and felicitations. The vacancy in the vice president's position will be filled at the next meeting of Trail Blazers on June 19. William Handran was elected to fill Miss Marr's place on the Board of Trustees of the Activity Club. Wc hope our sweet little Helen will find time to visit her old cronies when she stops in Denver. SINS OF OMISSION The world is full of sin and sorrow and many are the crimes that are committed each and every day, but to me one of the greatest sins is the sin of omission. Very few people in the ordinary course of life murder a fellow creature. Nor do they steal from their neighbors, but one and all, we are guilty of this one sin. Most of us think nothing of it. We go on our own sweet way patting ourselves on the back that we have not mufdered any one, and we have kept our hands on our own possessions. Little do we realize the actual damage we have done. Do you remember that downcast face you saw on the street the other day? If you had only smiled, perhaps he would have smiled too, and perhaps—but why think of it now. How many times did you, answer in a surly tone of voice, when with just a little effort you could have been courteous? How many times did you pass up doing a small favdr for someone? How many times did you buy something for yourself, when you could have given a few cents to your church or to a poor person? How many times did you forget to say "thank you" and show your appreciation for a kindnesf done to you? Oftentimes we just don't stop to think and we are too lazjr to follow ou£ good leads. We ,can not plead Ignorance, for we know better. How many times did you neglect to attend important meetings? We arc all guilty. In the future let us try to forget ourselves and see if we can't make this a better place to live in, and it will be, if we overcome our sins of omission. To us of the WSA, it is a serious sin of omission to fail in our loyalty and be lax in our duties, Sti'aif AMERIKANSKI " SLOVENEC Četrtek, 1. junija 19S9 zr*.

ATTENTION EVERYONE! BUSY? I'LL SAY, CLEANUP WEEK, RUNNING TO AND FRO, A NUMBER OF SECRET MEETINGS, etc. Hold on a minute, maybe you dont know what it all means, but to me I think it spells EXCITEMENT! Why even I'm excited. Why? Well, I'll let you in on a secret. Here goes,—I think the VICTORY CAMPAIGN got 'um. It's VICTORY CAMPAIGN FEVER out here. The FEVER is contagious out here and I can't get to interview a single person. Don't be disappointed because I happened to get an interview with our SUPREME PRESIDE!^. Isn't that swell, but say, how would each and everyone of you like to have your name in the HEADLINES? Just sit tight and read my article everytime. Who knows, maybe your name will be in HEADLINES too. Don't tell anyone, but I think it's the only way I get anyone to read my articles. Don't get me wrong, I think my articles are superb, don't you? All kidding aside, the main idea is to beaomc acquainted with each and every member of the STUPENDOUS and CO-LASSOL WSA. It will give each and every one of us a chance to find out what we're like, how we look and what we do to make our organization the Biggest Ever. Don't be disappointed if you'll have to wait too long because I'm sure you won't have to, Not if I can help it. The bigger a Boaster #ie quicker youi name gets in the paper. Get set every one, here goes our No.' 1 BOASTER. He's none other than: Name: MR. LEO JURJOVEC. Address: 1840 W. 22nd Place. Phone: Canal 3839. Married: YES! Too bad, girls. Maybe we'll have luck with our next boaster. Children: Two sons. Great boasters of the WSA. What, no girls? Hair: Blond! Gee, the blonds' sure get around. Eyes: Brown. There we have something in common. Height: 5' 11". Too short for all your popularity. But my! You should see that "stumnrick." Ambition: To live out in the Country. You'll solve that problem if you retire right now, but you can't do that because we need your help right here in Chicago. P. S, REMEMBER THAT! Hobby: Organizing! That happens to be the truth because he already has organized a number of lodges. Favorite Dish: SPINACH & DAN-DELLION! Quite an order, don't you think so? I bet he'll be a He-Man. Favorite Song: LET ME CALL YOU SWEETHEART! That's a fact. I know. Favorite Orchestra: JAN GAR-BAR. I've heard of him. Favorite Club: THREE STAR'S! I doubt if you'll change your jnind about that. Favorite Joke: $1 ary : Ko: If you were born May 20 to June 20, inclusive, this is your Horoscope. Persons born from May 20 to June 20 are born under the sign of Gemini (the Twins); the head sign. Well proportioned and handsome, as a usual thing, are the Gemini people. Eyes clear, complexion bright, vigorous and strong naturally. Their natures are double; strong, yet flighty and changeable in disposition. Studious, yet given to play; they desire to travel, they hesitate; they usually compromise by staying at home. There are no more unselfish, self-sacrificing and generous persons in the world than those, born under Gemini? Very lovable, magnetic and possess anusual hypnotic powers. Some of the most wonderful people in the World are born under this sign. Nature people, iond of art and the beautiful in general. Brilliant and active in imagination: great schemers, novelists, and playwrights, and more great writers and poets are found under the sign than any other of the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Gemini people arc divided into two extreme parties, owing to their unstable and double existence; they are either very "good" or very "bad". Are eithei savers or spendthrifts, as the ease may be. To be good, requires at first the use of strong will power, which they are capable of. They have strong religious tendencies, very tolerant of the opinions of others. With extraordinary intellect, their thirst for knowledge forces them into the front rank as speakers, seers and and philosophers. Among the uneducated will be found much misery; unable to control their desires, they become vicious, are carried away by their passions and appaites. Like the Taurus people— whom they resemble slightly—to obtain seit-control should be the end and aim of the Geminites. The baser nature must be killed or else it will kill the higher type: There is no happy m:diuni. The whole secret of success lies m knowing and doing. There is nothing that these people can not do if they make up their minds to do it. The only trouble is, that-in most cases the mind is never sufficiently made up, but is allowed to stray away and become focused upon a secondary object. While Gemini people are deep thinkers they arc often carricd away by' shallow outward appearance. Women of this sign arc usually deceived in this regard by not being more discriminating. They admire beauty of form and face and can not always see mere outward "looks" are nothing in comparison with those real qualities which are the criterious of true worth. The women are affectionate and demonstrative naturally^then they are of a most jealous disposition. In marriage, unions should be consummated only between persons born under Vir- go or Aquarius to contract a scientific and happy union. Children born of such parents are usually mentally and physically strong. Such children arc very lovable—and should be governed by kindness and gentleness—never by fear. To obtain peace and quiet is an inborn trait in Gemini people. The study of philosophy, occult sciences and religion gives this quiet in a marked degree. The diseases which are common to people of this sign are throat and lung troubles, nervous diseases and nervous prostration. The children are often .troubled with worms and eczema. Love of family, and pride ot ancestry is a an inborn trait. Sympathy for the suffering, generosity toward the poor is a predominating virtue. Their dual natures sometimes makes it appear as if this was not a fact—but it is nevertheless true. Gemini persons are not without great faults. To make for peace, health and happiness these should be corrected. A study of the stars should not simply afford amusement. The idea of knowledge is improvement—to' point out the way to enable one to correct. What is the use of knowing of our short-comings if we continue in the rut? Concentrate your forces in one direction. Curb your imagination; most of your troubles are only transient and can easily be made light of. When persisted in arc magnified an hundred fold. When once you start on the right road all things will come easy. This is one of the remarkable possesions of Gemini people, the adaptation of self to circumstances. Astrology is the oldest known science and the most reliable in pointing out the correct way of living, and all of the Human problems. Mercury is t;:e governing planet. Even the study of Mercury will aid in giving and insight into human possibilities. The god Mercury, is the god of gain ('commerce), and represented as being fleet of foot. If the Gemini people follow the sign, surrounded as they are by tile most wonderful Planetary and magnetic influences, as we have said before, no heights arc beyond their reach. Red, Blue and White are the Astral Colors. The "lucky" Gems are the Aqua-marine, Beryl, and Dark Blue stones. Lodge No. 33—Juv. Br. No. 2—Entered: (3) Geraldine A. Husich, Joy J. and Janet R. Jurkas.

Četrtek, i. junija 1939 amerikanski slovenec Stran 5 O shodu v Pueblo Slovenska naselbina v Pueblo — katero ameriški Slovenci nazivamo slovensko metropolo na zapadu — govori glasno besedo in kaže Ameriškim Slovencem pot, ki vodi v boljšo in lepšo bodočnost. Pueblo, Colorado. — (Izvirno) — o velikem katoliškem shodu v Pueblo, o katerem je naš list na kratko že poročal, da le sijajno izpadel, ter se vršil v 'cpem redu in ob zadovoljivem Programu, je treba vsekakor po-vedati še kaj več, kakor pa le sa-m° na kratko v par besedah. Rojakom, ki žive razkropljeni vse križem te obširne ameriške zem-'je je treba podati zanimive in važne govore, ki so jih govorili odlični voditelji našega naroda v Pueblo. Na ta način bo tega shoda vsaj nekoliko deležna tudi vsa ostala slovenska Amerika in seme tega shoda bo padlo v mnoga slovenska srca tudi v najbolj oddaljenih krajih dežele. To podrobno poročilo se je sicer neko-0 zakasnilo radi zaposljenosti Poročevalca, ki je bil skoro dva Ledna močno zaposljen na agita-^Ji na zapadu. Toda prepozno 1H- Citatelji naj pazljivo čitajo to poročilo in na istega opozore tudi svoje znance in prijatelje, DRUGI DEL DRUŽINE DI.ONNE ker shod in njegov program ima globok in važen pomen ne le sa-mo za nekatere, pač pa, za vse ameriške Slovence. Shod, o katerem pišemo, se je v Pueblo, Colorado, vsled etosnje zmage v kampanji na-Kega katoliškega dnevnika "A-merikanskega Slovenca", v kateri je tako sijajno zmagala znana vrla navdušena delavka ga. Jo-sipina Meglen, ki je v letošnji kampanji odnesla glavno zmago in prvo nagrado ter dosegla eastni titel "Kraljice vseh naročnikov A. S." Ta dogodek je dal v prvi vrsti priložnost in povod za ta shod. Ker pa katoliški tisk zastopa v javnosti številne Javne probleme, ki so važni in Pomenljivi za katoličane, je naivno, da se na takih shodih o tem govori in razpravlja. Baš v . . tesa so taki naši shodi va-zni m pomenljivi, ne le samo za :1Stl kl'aj in okojico, kjer se vr- venrarV6Č Za VS° Ameriško S1°" j JHJ°' Saj" so prilike in razmere so ti * enem kraju, kakor roi i Ugem- Vse Povsod so naši VaJakl lzPostavljeni hudi "in ne- taljo • propaj?andi protiverskega dev°la' Si ne°djenljivo priza-C]j a' .a bi Pobrezveril naše Iju-Toln.

Zato je naravno, da če hočemo katoliški Slovenci ohraniti v vrstah naših rojakov čuječnost proti propagandi protiverskega tabora, je treba biti na pozorni-ci, treba je, da čuvamo svoje, ali pa bo nasprotni tabor zmagoval na našo skupno škodo. Zato taki shodi. Potrebni so, da ljudem dajo novega poguma, da ljudem pokažejo kje je nevarnost in kako jim je treba ravnati, da ne zapadejo propagandi nasprotnega sovražnega tabora. V okviru tega namena in te potrebe se je torej priredil in vršil tudi puebelski shod in v tem oziru dosegel najlepši uspeh. Ljudstvo je videlo, da kampanja za katoliški tisk, ki vodi borbo za slovenski narod in njegovo vero ni le kaka prazna pena, ki bi imela le trenotni namen kake-' ga zavajanja, kakoršnega ima v večini vsa nasprotna propaganda slovenskega protiverskega tabora v Ameriki, da bi pobrezve-rila naše ljudi in jih potegnila proč od vere in tistega cilja, za katerega je naš slovenski narod živel in trpel dolga stoletja doma in na tujem in zanj prelival celo' svojo srčno kri, ko je zadrževal krvoločne Turke na slovenskih tleh. Zapadna Evropa dolguje našemu malemu narodu zahvalo za te žrtve.Da ni bilo junaških slovanskih narodov na Balkanu, bi bile turške tolpe ropale po prestolicah zapadne Evrope. Da je naš narod vzdržal v takih težkih časih gre za priznanje njegovemu junaštvu in ljubezni, ki je koreninila v njegovi veliki močni veri v Križ in Boga. In dokler bo naš narod veren, bo tudi naroden. Dokler bo naš narod veren in zvest Bogu, ne bo dostopen za razne nevarne radikalne mahinacije, kakoršne so uničile močno Rusijo in mnoge druge dežele. In to protiverski tabor ve, zato vodi borbo proti veri slovenskega naroda, dobro vedoč, da to je temelj, na katerem stoji in živi naš slovenski narod. Če* pade ta, pade vse. Katoliški shodi med nami pa ta temelj poživljajo in mu dajejo novih korenin in novih moči. Zato so taki shodi nujno potrebni, treba je le, da bi bili še bolj pogosti. V jutrišnji številki začnemo priobčevati govore in ves potek shoda v Pueblo, na kar vse čita-telje že danes opozarjamo, da istim slede z vso pazljivostjo v tem listu.

Njegov predpis, se glasi, da je treba za kavno žlico čaja pustitii deset minut v skodeli vrele vode, nato je treba obkladek namočiti v ta izvleček. Obkladka ne snamemo, temveč ga vedno znova pomočimo s čajem, čim se posuši. Na ta način je mo-roče ozdraviti ceio obsežne opekline tretje stopnje.

Ti ljudje prihajajo v Španijo pod pretvezo, da hočejo študirati načrte za obnovitev porušenih krajev. Nedavno je na tak način obiskalo Španijo pet tisoč nemških tehnikov, katerih rti nihče privabil v deželo. -o-- za vojne prostovoljce Več kot 350.000 juter zemlje je v Bački in Baranii razdelila Jugoslavija vojnim prostovoljcem, odnosno njihovim družinam.

Po izvršeni agrarni reformi so dobili zemljo vsi vojni prostovoljci, če so zanjo zaprosili. Tako se je naselilo na tej zemlji okrogt 100.000 družin, ki so si postavile nove domove. Večinoma so prišli prostovoljci iz Like, Črne gore in iz drugih pokrajin v notranjosti države. Pridobila pa je s te'm' tudi država, ker se je začela obdelovati zemlja,ki prej ni rodila nobenega sadu.
