Kandidati so seveda samo komunisti in njihovi prijatelji. Drugi niso mogli in ne smeli kandidirati. Vendar sta bila povsod za vsako funkcijo po. dva kandidata, da so ljudje mogli vsaj med njima izbirati. Sedaj po volitvah pa se godi, da oblast ne dovoli prevzeti funkcije izvoljenim, ampak stopajo na njihova mesta tisti komunisti. ki so pri volitvah propadli TITO APELIRA NA OMRŽENE "KULAKE" ^skirajo življenje so najhujši j m ostali v manjšini.

Propadla je, a tajnica je ostala, ker komunistična stranka tako razumeva voljo volivcev. Takih slučajev je veliko.

Belgrad. — Maršal Tito je v svojem govoru, ki ga je imel v nedeljo v Bosni, nujno apeliral no. neodvisne kmete (kulake), naj vendar že nehajo s svojim pasivnim odporom na-pram režimu. Njihov odpor, ki se izraža v obliki neobdelanja in neposeja-njia vse orne zemlje, je imel že resne posledice, kakor je razvidne iz štvilk, ki jih je ob tej priliki navedel Tito. L. 1949 je bilo n. pr. posejanih približno 500,000 hektarov (1,250,-000 akrov)) manj orne zemlje kakor -leta 1948. Dalje je Tito povedal, da se je zelo znižala jesenska setev. Vsega skupaj je bilo leta 1949 obdelane in posejane 6,800,000 hektarov (17,000,000 akrov) zemlje v primeru s 7,000,000 hektari leta 1939. Apelirajoč na sodelovanje neodvisnih kmetov (kulakov po novem), je Tit: izjavil, da se mora izrabiti maksimalna sila v vseh vejah deželne ekonomije, “ker smo že napeli vse svoje sile bolj kot je bilo mogoče.” Nato je Tito obljubil neodvisnim kmetom (kulak:m), da se jih ne bo siiilo v obdelovalne zadruge in da se bo poslej vlada prav tako pobrigala za njihove želje in potrebe, kakor za potrebe zadrugarskih a-li kolektivnih kmetov. Rekel je, da večino zemlje še vedno1 obdelujejo neodvisni kmetje in da vlada razumva njihove težave. -------o------ Stara, pa resolutna Amazonka Blackhawk, Colo. Mrs. “Clear Creek Annie” Davis, 68 let stara premo-garka, je držala s puško v roki svojo “trdnjavo,” to je bajto, ki je njen dom, proti celi armadi inženirjev in delavcev, ki izpeljujejo in gradijo novo cesto. Cesta, ki je tri in pol milijonski projekt, ima biti izpeljana preko zemlje, na kateri stoji njena koča. Inženir Mark U. Watrous je priznal, da jih je stara ženska držala dolgo vse v šahu. Ženska je sedela 24 ur na straži, da ohrani svojo kočo pred cesto, ki ima steči kot stranska cesta iz Denverja v Idaho Springs. Cestni department je dobil sodnijsko dovoljenje, da delavci lahko podlro hišo, toda ženski je uspelo dobiti 45 dni odloga. ------------o----— Uveljavljenje starega zakona o “coprnicah” Razne drobne novice Iz Clevelanda in te lACHESON KITAJCEM: NE ROVARITE ONSTRAN MEJ! _________ okolice (Sovjetski imperializem samo “pemrzira” 'resnižnej^« RobOTt ljudske revolucije, katerih cilj je svoboda in ne- Simens iz 694 e. 200 st. je iz. odvisnost narodov, pravi Acheson. San Francisco, Col. — Dr- nekatere teh šele v novejšem žavni tajnik Dean Acheson je imel 15. decembra tukaj važen govor, v katerem je posvaril kitajske komuniste, naj nikar ne delajo zgage izven svbjih mej. Med drugim je dejal: “Mi moramo , pomagati narodom, da si izoblikujejo svojo usodo na svoj lasten način.. Ne po našem načinu, temveč po svojem lastnem.” Izjavil je, da Sovjetska zveza skuša samo “perverzirati” za svoje lastna imperialistične namene politične in socialne iz-premembe, k j se jih trudijo doseči narodi sveta. Nato je navedel za zgled Kitajsko, kako-se sovjetski imperializem polasti vsakega ljudskega gibanja za neodvisnost. Posvaril je kitajske komuniste 1 času, je Kitajska s svojo starodavno slavno zgodovino for-sirana v sovjetske območje, v katerem naj postane od sovjetske politike in sovjetske ekonomije odvisna dežela. Kitajska je podpisala s Sovjetsko zvezo pogodbo, ki ne pomeni zanjo (Kitajske) nič dobrega, je rekel Acheson. Kitajski danes grozi, da bo 40 milijonov njenih ljudi gla-dovalc do prihodnje žetve, in milijone jih bo morda umrlo, Kitajska pa' pošilja kljub temu živila v Sovjetsko zvezo.

Zdaj samo čakamo, kedaj bodo tudi naši prišli s takimi imeni na okoli, kadar pridejo naročat krst. “Scooter,” na primer, ali pa “Bingo,” bi se ne glasilo preslabo: he, heh. * * * Father Roman Homar O. S. B. dolgoletni indijanski misijonar v Minnesoti in vse skozi pristni Slovenec, se je zadnjič oglasil v A. D. Bil sem še otrok, ko je on imel novo mašo v naši cerkvi. Pa nisem bil navzoč, spominjam pa se je prav dobro. Ker nihče drugi ni hotel biti za “Baby-sitter j a,” zato so meni poverili tno imenitno šaržo. Father Roman je bil izvrsten pevec in dober govornik. Obhajal je že 60 letnico mašništva, pa je še korenjak. Bog naj mu nakloni še nekaj let na Ogema, potem pa naj mu odkaže prostor poleg svojega nekdaj nega opata Loč-nikarja tam gori med. svojimi Indijanci, katere je spravil preko sv.

Razen o prvih naznanilih in vabilih na vaje se dosedaj sploh ni delalo kake večje reklame. Za kake druge predstave je že morda bolj treba bučne reklame, za Pasijon pa menda ne tako, ker ta drama ni za kako zabave ali 'za smeh; pač pa da ob tem ljudje bolj mislijo na Njega, ki je storil vse za človekovo odrešenje; tudi smrt na križu, mu ni biia preveč. Žrto-voval se je vsega. Za danes nagnanim to, da so sedaj v prodaji vstopnice za tq predstavo, katerim cena je: $1. $2 in $3 dolarje. Visoka cena je, brste rekli. Res višja kot je vstopnina za kake druge predstave: ampak je tudi v vseh ozirih obsežnejša, zahteva veliko več truda kot pa razne druge predstave. Povem vam, da je bolje režirati magari 10 iger kakor pa en Pasijon. Dvanajstkrat je treba urediti oder; to se pravi, da je takorekoč 12 dejanj. In koliko je treba pri tem, igralcev! Skoroda kakor za kakih 10 navadnih iger. In potem veliki stroški, ki presežejo stroške katerikoli igre. Saj So znašali stroški prvega Pasijona leta 1930 nad tri tisoč dolarjev. Katera predstava slovenskem odru je stala toliko denarja? In potem težko če in napori, za katere vedo samo tisti, ki so bili na vodstvu Pasijona in oni, ki so res sodelovali na doru. Kaj čuda, da se niso mnogi potem ogrevali za Pasijon, katerega vprizoritev je zvezana veliki težfccčami m stroški. In bi se tudi izidaj ne, da niso prišli sem naši Slovenci iz begunstva. Tako se je spet poiskusi-io vprizoriti Pasijon in ždi se mi, da bo naj hrže tudi zadnji. V teh časih, veseljačenja in brezbrižnosti je pač težko kaj takega spraviti na oder, ko mnogi rajše svoj prosti čas ob večerih obrnejo kam drugam ket pa, da bi hodili na vaje, katerih je treba dosti več kot pa za kako drugo igro. Mnogi ljudje pa tudi rajše gledajo kaj takega, da se od srca nasmejejo. Najbolj resni časi, pa največ veseljačenja. Zato je iz teh in raznih razlogov to naj hrže zadnji Pasijon. Ne bom trdil tega z gotovostjo, le zdj se mi tako. Da se ga je vjprjzorilo še enkrat je kar na mestu: prvič ker je Sveto leto, drugič, ker je letos ravno 20 let, ko je bil vprizor-jen prvi Pjasijon, tretjič pa, da se ob misli na Njega, ki je umrl na križu, spomnimo tudi našega slovenskega naroda, ki razpet na svoj težki križ trpi kot še ni trpel nikdar prej v zgodovini. Tako ste povabljeni vsi, ki se zanimate za Pasijon, da si ga še lahko ogledate, ter sezite po vstopnicah, ki so v razprodaji. Napravite malo veselja požrtvovalnim igralcem, ki se večer 1 za — Devet vojaških generalov je dočakalo čast, da so bili izvoljeni predsednikom Zed. držav in sicer: Washington, Jackson, William Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Garfield in Benjamin Harrison.

Ko je služil že toliko časa, da je vedel, pri katerem koncu sfrči krogla iz puške, je moral tudi na vahto. Neke noči je stražil skladišče slame zadej za cukrfa-brko. Jože je vedel, da straža ni važna, ker si ni mogel misliti, da bi kdo prišel in si naložil slame iz cesarskega skladišča. Vedel je> da bodo dolge ure na straži, zato si je kupil v kantini, predno je odšel na stražo, klobaso in žemljo, pri vojakih priznana za Pihanimi piškami najboljša rihta pod cesarjem.

Moškaj je jedel bel kruh in prigrizoval pečenko.. Udobno zleknjen na stol je bral. V Klemenu se* je nabirala itha. Vse v njem j e'vrelo. Ce-nekove ročice so vstale in prosile pred Moškaj em. Moškaj pa je jedel in z mastnimi prsti obračal liste v knjigi. “Pojdi iz sobe, Moškaj,” je bruhnilo iz Klemena. Moškaj je začudeno obrnil glavo. “Grešiš vpričo mene.'' Otrokom si odjedel podporo, sam pa se mašiš s pečenko.” Moškaj golta. V obraz je posinel in hlasta za besedami. Iz Klemena vre. “Pojdi, pojdi!

Videl je, kako je Moškaj šibak Zdel se mu je podoben krapu, ki ga je nekdo vrgel na suho. Na hodniku se je umiril. Dobro mu je delo, da se je iz divjal, da je bruhnil iz sebe, kar ga je vseskozi tiščalo. Pri večerji je bil Moškaj bled. Proti Gorniku še pogledal ni. Klemen je vedel, da ga je zadel.

Brez moči je stal pred. Modrišem, ki se mu je tresel glas. Popoldne si je sprosti dovoljenje, da je smel v “Sibirijo”. Šel je s strahom, z bolečino, ki je glodala prav pri srcu. Tonček je ležaj v krsti. Suhi obraizek je bil miren, voščeno bel, suhe bele roke sklenjene kakor zlomijne in položene na prsi. Modriševka je planila v vek. Tudi Modriš je vekah Klemen •je stal skonca mize in gledal v mrliČka. Jok ga je davil, toda z vso silo je tiščal solze nazaj. Zdelo se mu je, da stoji sredi strahovitega veletoka, da se upira razdivjani moči težke vode, da skuša reševati, kar se rešiti sploh še da, pa se mu sproti vse izmika iz rok. Beden kamenček je, nič več. Kriknil bi rad, zarjul, nato pa po kolenih šel od barake do barake in vsakemu poljubil bose noge. Vsem od kraja. Starcem in ženam, umazanim in ušivim otrokom in vse poprosil za odpuščanje. “Odpustite, ljudje božji. Dal bi, pa nimam. Naj bom berač z vami.” Nato so se mu orosile oči. S pulšpanovo vejico je pokropil mrlička, se poslovil in utonil na cesto. Pijan je bil od bolečine. Lep dam pe bil, sončen in jasen in barake so stale za drevjem. Kakor kolibe gobavcev, Vj z gnilimi udi okužojejo zrak. Ko je prišel v mesto, ga je obsedla iblalztna misel, da bi moral zdaj 'stopiti sredi trga, dvigniti roke, ustaviti ljudi in vozila in zakričati v množico. “Ljudje, kam,? Počakajte, vrnite se domov. Umrl je otrok, Modrišev Tonček. Umrl, ker ga niste poznali.” Moškaj niti glave ni vzdignil, ko je vstopil. Klemen je sedel in do noči ni odprl nobene knjige. Velikonočne počitnice so bile Klemenu odveč. Nič prave volje ni bil. Vreme je bilo sicer 1epO‘, toda Klemenu se je zdelo,, da se je odtrgal od nekod, da ni prav, da je prišel domov. ,Še gospod Vencel so ga uganili, da ga nekaj grize. “Tišči te nekaj, fant. Nič nisi pravi.” “Premajhen sem,, gospod župnik.” “Premajhen?” Vencel ga ne morejo umeti. “Premajhen, da bi mogel vsem pomagati. Brez moči stojim pred beračijo, kakor da so mj roke zvezane.” “Eh, fant, zdaj te razumem. Mlad si, pa hi rad svet vzdignil. Ne zaleti se, da ne za-iddš. Sedi.” Klemen je sedel. Okno v sopi je bilo odprto in zrak, ki je vel v soba, je dišal po strdi, po sokovih, ki so vreli v drevju zunaj. “Krivico vidiš in bi jo rad z enim zamahom podrl. Mnogi so poskušali. Gel j, Kristus je prišel na svet in tudi ob njegovem časiui je bila krivica v cvetju. Meso sužnjev in suženj so metali v hrano ribam in bili so ljudje, ki so živeli od krvi drugih. Pajki, ki so puščali prazne mešičke.” “Nekje mora biti rešitev,” se je odtrgalo iz Klemena. “Modrišev otrok je umrl in nisem, mu 'mogel pomagati. Nekateri pa jedo bel kruh in pečenko.” V Klemenu se je razklalo spoznanje dd vrha dotal. (Dalje prihodnjič) Cleveland, O. — Danes ne bom vse podrobnosti sporočal, samo kar je bolj važno. Zadnjič smo zborovali 26. feb. in prihodnja seja pade ravno na isti dan, samo mesec se spre-miepi iz februarja na marec., Zadnja seja je bila kar povolj-po članstvu zastopana, vsi no stoli so bili zasedeni. Še par članov je ob steni slonelo1, seveda koliko je bilo stolov, to pa ni tako važno. Brat Tomažin, ki je naš predsednik, je omenil, dla Imamo za prihodnjo sejo važno točko v rešitev namreč: Kako bi se pomoglb tistim članom, ki niso naročeni na glasilo, citati istega ? V to rešitev, da bomo na prihodnji seji navzoči, je priporočilo perdsednika, ne pozabite bratje! P. K. Brez tega lista bi ne mogel biti 'Soudan, Mimi. — Vidim, da mi je potekla naročnina na A-meriškc' Domovino, ta lepi in zanimivi list. Moram spet poslati, če hočem, da jo bom še dobival. Nerad bi pustil ta list, v katerem je toliko lepega branaj a in dosti novic iz Amerike in iz starega kraja, pa tudi od drugod. Veste, mene noge bolijo, da ne moreni dosti hoditi. Samo po hiši se malo premičem, pa moram imeti palico, da se opiram. Zato pa večinoma sedim in berem, da mi ni dolg čas. Kaj bi počel, če ne bi imel branja, pa še tako zanimivega, kot je v Ameriški Domovini. Ra,di nog sem moral dvakrat v bolnišnico. Takrat so mi morali nositi list v bolnišnico, da sem bral, ko sem ležal. Takrat je bilo tudi v bolnišnicah vse drugače kot je zdaj. V bolnišnici v Duiuthu je bil nek Ribničan, katbremu je bolničarka prinesla zdravila. S šilom ali kaj je že bilo, ga je pičila v roko, da mu je dala zdravila v žilo. Pa ji je rekel Ribničan: “Kaj me pa pikaš, krota?” Ona mu je povedala, da mu daje zdravila. On ji je pa tolmačil da se dajejo zdravila z. žličko, ne pa s šilom. Ona ga je pa podučila, da je to po novem. Tudi mene so neprestano pikali, ponoči in podnevi. Dvakrat sem bil tam, da so me na-pikali prav povsod, pa ne vem, če mi je kaj pomagalo ali mi ni. Pa menda mi je že, ker me ne beli več toliko, kakor me je prej. Da bi se le kaj ne povrnilo pa bom. že prestajal. Oprostite, če sem vam razodel nekaj iz svojega trpljenja. Človeku kar nekoliko odeleže, če nekoli potarna. Pazdrav-Ijam vse, ki so pri listu ter tudi vse naročnike ter vsem skupaj želim srečno sveto leto 1950. Jaz jih imam 79 na grbi, pa se še ne podam!

Ko sta stopila po njej vanjo;, jima je bilo kakor pravcata osvoboditev. Ulica je bila črna, zapuščena in tiha, kakor da je sto milj daleč od bitke. Hiša, stara, ozka hiša brez vratarja, je ležala kakor v smrtnem snu. “Ključe imam v žepu”, je zajecljal Maurice, “večji je za hišna vrata, mali ipa za mojo sobo, čisto zgoraj.” Zgrudil se je ter se onesvestil v naročju prijatelja, čigar nemir in zadrega sta dosegla svoj vrhunec. Tako 'zmeden je bil. da je pozabil zakleniti vežna vrata; tipaje ga je moral spravljati po teh neznanih stopnicah in se ogibati vsaka-terega ropotanja, v strahu, da ne bi priklical ljudi. Njegov načrt je bil, Je zapirala St-Florentinsko in EE da bi dospel v ulico Des Orties čez trg De la Concorde in ulico Saint - Honore. Ko je posadil Maurica na nabrežje, je stopil na vrh, in zopet se ga je polastil nemir, ko je premislil, s kolikem trudom bosta morala ke. Tu je bila nezavzetna trd njava komune terasa Tuilerij, oborožena s topovi, ulica Ro- - so spali tam, okorni in zapuščeni. Nobene žive duše ni bilo za tem nezmagljivim nasi- vale, Saint- Fiorentin in Ril- pom, razen blodnega psa, ki je volska, zagrajene s trdnimi, visokimi barikadami; in vse to je Jbežal. Toda ko je Jean hitel po ulici Saint-Florentin, pod-pojasnjevalo taktiko Versaill- piraje oslabelega Maurica, se ske armade, ki je to noč tvorila s svojimi črtami ogromen top kot, čigar vrh je ležal na trgu Da la Concorde, skr aka pa, prvi na desnem bregu do tovornega kolodvora Severnet železnice in drugi na levem bregu do neke bastije v utrdbah blizo Arcueilskih vrat. Toda jutro se je bližalo, komunardi so bili izpraznili Tuilerij e in barikade; čete so se polastile mestnega oddelka sredi novih novih požarov — nadaljnih dvanajst hiš, *ki so gorele od devete ure zvečer na križišču Royalske ulice in ulice Saint— Honore. Spodaj, ko se je Jean zopet vrnil k vodi, je našel Maurica zaspanega, kakor slaboumnega po razdraženi krizi, ki ga je trla med vožnjo. “Lahka reč ne bo . . Ali moreš vsaj še hoditi, mali moj ? “Da, da, ne bodi v skrbeh; prišel bom že, pa naj bom živ ali mrtev.” Toda pot po kamenitih stopnicah ga- je stala mnogo truda. Zgoraj po nabrežju je hodil počasi ob roki tovariševi, s koraki mesečnega bolnika. Daši še ni bil dan, je cdsev bližnjih požarov osvetljeval široki trg s svinčeno jutra j no zarjo. Korakala sta po samoti, srce skrčeno od tega mrklega opustošenja. Na obeh koncih, na drugem kraju mosta in ob iztoku ceste Royal, sta se videli megleni, spbšatni masi, Palais-Bourbon in cerkev sv. Magdalene, obedve okrušeni od kano-nade. Tuilerijska terasa ki je kazala vrzel ob vrzeli, je bila deloma porušena. Na trgu samem so bile krogle preluknjale bron vodometov, orjaško truplo kipa mesta Lille je ležalo na tleh, rahbito od granate, poleg njega pa je stal kip Strassburga, ogrnjen s črnim pajčolanom, kakor da žaluje ob tolikem zlu. Blizu nepoškodovanega obeliska je ležala v jarku plinova cev, ki se je, razklana z udarcem lopate, slučajno užgala in je bruhala zdaj z ostrim šumom curek ognja. Jean se je ognil barikade, ki je zapirala Royalsko ulico med nepoškodovanima 'poslopjema mornariškega ministrstva in državne orodnice. Za vrečami in sodi s prstjo, iz katerih je bila zgrajena, je slišal grobe vojalške glasove. Spredaj je varoval barikado jarek, v čigar gnilobni vodi je plavalo truplo nekega zaveznika. Skozi neko vrzel so se videle hiše na vogalu ulice Saint-Honore, ki so vzlic vsem puhajočim gasilnim brizgalkam iz predmestij pogorevale od tal. Na levi in desni so bila mala drevesa in ute prodajalcev časopisov zdrobljene in preluknjane od toče karteč. Oglašal se je glasen krik: ognjegasci so bili našli v kleti neke hiše sedem -napol zgorelih trupel njenih prebivalcev. __ Daši se je zdela barikada, ki ,== Rivol&ko ulico, zaradi svoje velikosti in modro preračunane izvršitve še strašnejša, vendar je Jean instinktivno začutil, da je tamkaj prehod manj nevaren. In zares je bila popolnoma izpraznjena, ne da bi jo premagati tu nakopičene zapre- bilo zasedlo vojaštvo. Topovi e zgodilo, česar se je bal; zadela sta ob celo kompanij o 88. linijskega polka, ki je bila obšla barikado. “Gospod stotnik”, je pojasnil, “tovariš je, ki so ga ti razbojniki ranili, in ki ga vodim k ambulanci.” VSEM CENJENIM ROJAKOM V NEWBURGHU IN OKOLICI naznanjam, da sem prevzel trgovino z železnino, == Hardware Store, na 7504 Union Ave. == Pri nas dobite v najem stroj za čiščenje tla (Floor == Sanders), stroj za odstranitev stenskega papirja (Wall-EE paper Steamer), vsakovrstno barvo, čopiče, steklo, vse EE vrste orodje, gnojilo za vrt in travo ter najboljšo travo == za vaše trate.

At 21, Simens is a full-fledged business man and the head of his own firm, Crown Cornice Co. His wares are on display at the A. Grdina and Sons Furniture store at 15307 Waterloo Rd. While attending Benedictine High School several years ago, Bob became interested in wood-working, bought seme machinery and began making simple household articles for his mother in the basement of the Simens’ home at 694 E. 200th St. One day he made some window cornices for the house. Friends and relatives admired them, so Bob bought more power tools and built a garage on a lot in the rear of his home to make more cornices. By the time he graduated in June. 1946, he had his own company. Since then, he has combined profitable manufacturing operations with dealerships in draperies, rugs and sun blinds. Despite his business interests, Bob still has an eye on a college diploma, however. He has been attending eve. ning ciassess at Fenn and Cleveland Colleges, cruising toward a. degree in business administration. LORETTA THOMAS, model for Si-men’s lobby show, “sells" vertical blinds of celanese fabric and wooden cornices. Behind the Scenes of a Movie Ginger Rogers and Dennis Morgan, Plus ten other featured players tried and true, experienced every emotion and every discomfort known to a jury cn a murder trial in their new Warner Bros, picture, “Perfect Strangers,” due March 22nd at the Hippodrome Theatre. “I’ve never felt so crowded in my bfe,” Ginger moaned. "Like a New York subway station, during the evening rush hour,” was Morgan’s impression. Maigalo Gillmore, famed Broadway actress, in Hollywood for the first tihle in many years for her important “Perfect Strangers” role, admitted to absolute bafflement and confusion. This is because practically all of the action takes place in the jury box in the courtroom, or in a community hotel parlor and bedroom where the jury spends its nights. To make it cozier, and more authentic, director Bretaigne Windust, in ed dialogue, everyone talking at once in hot argument. “Please toe a bit more quite” Windust roared above the din of voices. “They can hear you all the way over to Stage 8.’’ “What’s shooting there?i” “ ’Montana’, and they're really shooting to. day,’ he said. “PERFECT STRANGERS” open: at the Hippodrome Theatre, Wednesday March 22nd. —-----o------- How to Insure Future Happiness The readers of this page are particularly asked to be sure to read tlrs page next Friday, March 24th to find out how to insure future happiness.

Good manner on the streets and highways mean even more than correct social behavior — they mean the saving of lives. Ii responsible, discourteous and, impatient behavior behind the wheel of an automobile or while walking has no place in society according to Emi-iy Post, the eminent authority on good manners. Traflic etiquette is always one’s best assurance of safety. The considerate, ourteous motorist and pedestrian can nake driving and walking more plea-ant and safer for everyone on Cleve-and streets. Driving at excessive speed, ignoring he right-of.way, driving under the influenece of liquor, driving on the wrong side of the road, passing improperly, disregarding traffic control devices come under the Cleveland Police Department heading of discourteous acts. Trariic safety is a matter of give— and — take— give consideration and take care. In other words — Mind Your Motor Manners! THE EUCLID SCENE By MICHAEL BOICH Councilman of Ward 3 Mr. Sam Hoffman of the F. S. Carp., of Arizona presented a plan to the Euclid Council for approval to build 425 homes east of 260 St., and Lakeland Blvd. These homes will be without basement and will have 42 ft. by 31 ft. liveable space. Including a garage attached and utility room with gas heat, these homes will be built on lots 65 ft. by 113 ft. deep. Six rooms are all on one floor with 3 bedrooms and the home sells for $9,875 complete. Sewer water, sidewalks and paving of street are included in the seiling price of $9,875, paid fbi by the F. S. Corp. These homes will be of all brick veneer ranch type ith FHA approval. This is about the best plan ever to come to Euclid but the City Council must be cautious in their study. 1950 Indians Due to Fatten Foreign Language Press Batting Averages in Coming Season PI \ mm Chooses Best Pictures “All The King’s Men’ Pictures Production, was LOU BOUDREAU 1/ For the first time in his nine year tenure as Manager, Lou Boudreau di. rected a batting practice session on the Opening Day of spring training. Even the veteran newsmen present at the inaugtiral drill failed to recall a time when Cleveland stalwarts had picked up their warclubs for action vithout a preliminary routine calls-henics and running. “I hadn’t planned it that way,” ommented skipper Boudreau,” but vhen the boys began showing up vith mid-season waistlines and the pitchers volunteered readiness s to ,hrow, there was no sense in wasting time.’ “You know,” he added, “I don’t think I’ll ever see an entire roster report in better physical shape!” Then Boudreau patted his own stomach and broke into a wide grin of satisfaction. And no one had a better right to do so than the former Boy Wondei who became baseball’s Man of the Year in 1948. He’d sidestepped enough potatoes and gravy during the off-season to weigh in 15 pounds below his bulging 197 of a year ago. ’ Sam Zoldak, who was able to win only one game, showed up at 189 instead of 210 while Allie Clark, whose early season batting slump resulted in an assignment to San Diego, checked in without 11 unneeded pounds. Several ethers were lighter by as much as eight. Perhaps it was all due to the letter that Manager Boudreau had sent the players in January. Or maybe it was a general realization that excess padding had been a big factor in last summer's failure. But whatever the reason the result was a squad so streamlined that the Indians were able to schedule an intra-squad game in the fifth day of practice. One other thing is certain. Even if the Indians fali to regain the heights of 1948, they’ll be a far better club than the third placers of last summer. Those summer waistlines can mean only fatter averages in 1950! a Columbia awarded top place this past Thursday night, as the Best Motion Picture of 1949 by the Foreign Language Press Film Critics’ Circle. The award was made during a hialf-hour broadcast on New York City’s municipal broadcasting station, WNYO. “All The King’s Men” is the first picture since 1943 to receive six ol the nine awards given by the Circle,’ it was stated by Sigmund Gottlober, Executive Director of the Circle. Pro. ducer of the Year, Best Director and Best Screenplay awards went to Robert Rossen for his work in the film. Broderick Crawford, star of this film, won the year’s Best Actor award. In the foreign division, the “Bicycle Thief” won top honors with the award given to tne De Sica Production Company. The picture was directed by Vittorio De Sica and was distributed in the United States by Mayer-Burstyn. Joseph Burstyn accepted the award in behalf of De Sica. “Tlie Fallen Idol” released in the United States by - David O. Selznick, was adqusted the Best British Film of the year. The award was accepted by the producer-director, Carol Reed-in a unique interview transcribed in England and flown to New York. Olivia De Havillland was awarded Best Actress for “The Heiress.” The film awards were presented by Dr. Manfred George, editor of the German-language newspaper Aufbau, and President of the Foreign Language Film Critics' Circle. Sigmund Gottlober, Executive Director of the Circle, was master’ of ceremonies. Chief speaker of the broadcast was Benjamin Cohen, Assistant Secretary General of the Onited Nations. Mr. Cohen? topic was “Films Speak for Peace ” --------o-------- Agriculture Supports Progressive Retailing One of the most interesting phases of the government’s anti-trust suit, which is designed to dismember the country’s largest retail food chain*, is the virtually unanimous opposition it has encountered on the part of agricultural producers. The list of farm organizations which have gone on record against the suit would be a long one, A few; typical examples follow. The Cooperative Grange Federation Exchange, Inc., of Ithaca, New York, said that the nation’s greatest increases in living standards have come during a period when corporations have been getting larger, which indicate that bigness in business has not destroyed the competitive forces1 lhat create better living standards. The Michigan State Horticultural Society said the Justice Department’s action appears to be socialistic in nature and purpose. The Wenoka Federation of Washington, the world’s largest apple shipper, said the chain has reduced distribution costs between producer and consumer. The Maine Fruit Producers Cooperative said that dissolving the chain would: seriously interfere with the incomes of Maine farmers. Some 1200 Atlantic County, New Jersey, farmers described the chain as “the best friend we have ever had.’’ So the testimony goes. This chain, like other retail organizations large and small, has materially helped the producer and the consumer. It is not a monopoly—it must compete vtih thousands of ether stores. It ’s no wonder that there is much speculation over just what the Justice Department’s ;rue motive is. ST. VITOS HOLS IKM lev Band Notes Hawaii ha$ a land area of 6,540 sq# mi.

House . . . re-*"■ s suming h e a r -H* ings until 5 in 1%, the afternoon. The objective of Committee studies is looking toward the ; self-sufficiency of such nations as we have been aiding under the ! E.C.A. One of the interesting witnesses j this week was Boris Shishkin, head ! of the Labor Division of E.C.A. f in Paris, who came back to this i country to report before the Com-| mittee. He gave us a splendid, candid outlook on labor conditions i abroad, particularly so with respect to what the representatives of American organized labor, now in Europe, are doing to check the influence and spread of Communism in Western European countries to the detriment of world peace and security. ’ In my report to the House on October 13 regarding the work which engaged me in Europe last summer, I spoke at lentgh about the activities of such men as Mr. Shishkin, Mr. Sam Berger, Labor Attache of the Embassy in London, Mr. Irving Brown of the AF of L, and Mr. Elmer Cope of the CIO, who comes froni my own 22nd District of Ohio. know that of this number almost 300,000 are no longer in need of care and maintenance, requiring instead legal and other types of assistance. /CONSERVATIONISTS will be interested in Norway’s planting of 22,000,000 trees last year of which 18,000,000 were spruce. The planting schedule is 2'‘ 000,000 this year, 30 million next ar and no less than 40 million in 1952. T AM VERY happy to report that -*• while there still remains much to be done, the conditions of European refugees and displaced persons have been improved tremendously in the last two and a half years. A report which came to my desk recently from the International Refugee Organization indicates /that little Israel has received 116,-i 000 . . . Australia 105,000 . . . while 150,843 such persons have jcome into our own country. About 1500,000 refugees are still receiving /aid from IRO, but it is good to A FFIRMATIVE action has been taken in the House on Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. The wisdom of the decision is exceedingly questionable especially in the case of Alaska which has only 100,000 inhabitants of which 20,-000 are federal government employees. Voters are estimated at 22,000. This means that, if the Senate concurs, Alaska will have one member in the House and the usual two Senators—although her population is only equal to that of our city of Lakewood, Ohio. Hawaii has an estimated population of about 400,000—-about half of Greater Cleveland—but she too will have one Representative and two Senators. ■pOR THIS Congress to amend a * piece of legislation in its most important particulars by use of a “rider” . . . introduced in order to obscure the truth . . . was a piece of sharp legislative trickery indeed. If at all possible, we urge you heartily to avail yourself of this WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY of seeking God’s special graces, of which we are all so much in need. REV. F. M. BARAGA P. S. — Young women of any of the other Slovene parishes -are most welcome to join cur retreat group. All those interested, please, fill out the following form and return it to me at St. Vitus Rectory, 6019 Glass Ave., Cleveland 3, Ohio NOT LATER than March 28th. Name Address: T HAVE ALWAYS been in sup- port of removing the tax from oleomargarine. My stand is well recorded in the House Record. The final vote which I cast on the oleomargarine bill was not a vote to retain the federally imposed tax. It was a vote in protest against the passage of an amendment to that bill which had absolutely no relationship to the oleomargarine question and which was and is in my opinion of vital importance to all types of business activity in the entire district and which can easily become highly disadvantageous, not only to business enterprise in general but to every wage earner as well. In the light of this situation I felt duty bound to oppose such procedure. The Bells of SI. Mary's ATTENTION: ALL SODALISTS An English Mission will be held at St. Mary’s the week cf the 19th — that ’s beginning This SUNDAY! This Mission will be conducted by Fr. CjTil feircel of the “Franciscian Fathers”. AH Sodalists are expected to attend. Please try and bring along a Catho. lie friend — or a non-Catholic friend —the main thing is — MAKE IT A POINT TO SPREAD THE NEWS (AND) try to make the attendance swell each evening. REMEMBER! — THE PURPOSE OF THE MISSION IS: ............. 1. CONVERSION 2. INSTRUCTION (OR) TO — make us realize again the purpose of our life. This is an invitation from Christ Himself, to look into our rives to see where we stand in relation to Him. The distractions of the world have a tendency to take us away from the purpose of °ur life. It is necessary from time to time to check ourselves, we are looking forward to seeing you there.

Matty Dolence and Joe Zabukovec had them in line. Matty came thru with a 597, and 203, 228 single game. Joe Zabukovec totaled 525 pins. The Zorko’s didn’t show up on time and so no one was able to regisrer any decent score. This added a few more points to the Leaders’ score and helped . to strengthen the Holmes Market Lead. The Perme’s went through the Nottingham Cleaners for 4 points. Capt. Eernie Zalar led his men to this victory with a 523 series. The Cleaners couldu t find the range at all. The Perme’s turned on their Range and roasted the whole gang. The Dave Lhoes walked into trouble last Sunday when they tangled with the Sulak Five. The Shoes were walking barefoot when the series of games was over. Bob Osredkar’s 538, with 202, 198 games led the way for the winners. Rudy Sulak’s 508 and Bob Glavan’s 507 followed in close order.

ATTENTION, YOUNG WOMEN: Being in the^ midst of the Lenten season, it is time again to consider the annual spiritual RETREAT for I the young women of St. Vitus Parish.! We have reserved the week-end of PALM SUNDAY, MARCH 31st to APRIT i 2nd, since it is not only a fit. I ting, manner in which to begin Holy J Week, but because retreatants in past \ years have favored this date. Retreat Exercises will be held at the DIOCESAN RETREAT HOUSE, 18485 Lake Shore Blvd., from 7:00 o’clock on FRIDAY evening, (opening with dinner) until 5:00 o’clock on SUNDAY afternoon, with the concluding Holy Hour. Both MARRIED and SINGLE women may attend the same retreat, which will be conducted in English, of course. Since the number of retreatants is limited, we urge you to return your reservation AT ONCE. Since some sixty-five young women made the retreat last year and many of these have already made tentative reservations for 1950, we particularly stress the importance of an EARLY REPLY. The fee remains the customary amount — fifteen dollars. However, if anyone is unable to pay the full amount and wishes to make the retreat, she may attend REGARDLESS, and any reasonable amount will be accepted or it may even be paid over a period of time. This arrangement, of course, will be made in STRICT confidence. In order to assure an accurate list of reservations, we are asking a deposit cf FIVE dollars from each prospective retreatant. Please enclose this sum with your reservation slip. The remainder may be paid at the Retreat House on FRIDAY evening, immedi-| ately after the registration is com-j pleted. i Perhaps you have made the two ! previous retreats, and for NO parti- BIRTHS The family of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Leirer of 730 Lorain St., Toledo, Ohio, has an addition to the family, — a baby boy and the first child.

YOUNG Ohio Congressman-at-Large Washington. — This Congress will probably enact into law (A) a plan to expand medical education and, provide scholarships for needy and worthy medical students, (B) appropriate $35,006 000 for periodic, examinations, vaccinations and inoculations, designed to prevent contagious diseases among school children and (C) provide establishment of county health units at an additional expense of $60,-000,000. The 80th Congress appropriated $60,000.000 for elimination of ' hoof and mouth disease in cattle in Mexico but nothing whatever for Federal health aid for American children. The present Congress has reversed that trend. “Socialized medicine?” Operators of the AMA, who have been notably backward and reacti/onaity, simply fling out this expression in order to “blackjack” mmebers of $25.00 as an assessment against a “threat” they know does not exist. There is no legislation providing socialized medicine pending or even proposed in this Congress. National health insurance is a completely different thing. RICH SENATOR U. S. Senator Theodore Green (D), Rhode Island, is one of America’s richesr, men. He is eighty-two years old, weighs perhans 140, walks rapidly, wrestles with college athletes, plays tennis end, as a marathoner could tire Congressmen half his age. He customarily walks from his Washing, ton apartment to his office in the Capitol —a litte matter of three miles. Maybe Senator Green became one of the country’s richest men from never frittering away his money on taxi fares. GOOD DEAL FOR US Chinese Communists are keeping as prisoners a Marine Master Sergeant and a Navy Chief Electrician’s Mate. Our government has convicted Judith Coplon of conspiring with our enemy cf the cold war. she is a traitor. Taxpayers' dollars hav't been spent to try her ana Valentin A. Gubitohev, Soviet agent. Here is a cheap, simple and complete solution. Eixchange these two with the Soviet Union upon the safe return of our loyal Americans. Then America could give one way passage to these two worthies as soon as our two real Americans are returned to safety. The facts are, the Russian, Gubitchev, is likely to be deported in any event.

CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS This Congress may reestablish the CCC. The CCC, during the post depression years 1933-41, made % recr erd of great accomplishments. At the time we established it a Congressmen said, “Herbert Hoover made monkeys of us and now President Roosevelt gives us trees to climb.” MORE SPUDS This may surprise you but it is a fact Senators Brewster. (R), Maine and Aiken, (R), Vermont, are the loudest advocates of economy in the Senate and at the same time the most articulate and vociferous in demanding continued price supports for their potatoes. Agriculture Secretary Brannan has fixed the price support at 60 per 'cent, which is the lowest permitted under the present law. These Senators urge ninety per cent parity support for potatoes. COMMUNISM Congressman Ed Breen, (D), Ohio, said, "Communism means if you have not got anything, you want to share it with everybody; but in a democracy if you have got little something then you want it,” DEATH NOTICES Cerne, John — Husband of Frances (who is in Europe).
