Y., je bila pretekli teden po posredovanju vladnih zastopnikov vsaj začasno ukinjena stavka, ko so zastopniki korporacije in organiziranih delavcev pristali v pogajanja. Omenjena jeklarska družba ima za okrog 250 milijonov dolarjev vladnih naročil, tikajočih se narodne obrambe. Dolga stavka bi produkcijo za dalje časa zadržala, kar bi bilo posebno v teh časih zelo nezaželjivo. Upati je, da bo ta delavski spor v kratkem času poravnan ugodno za obe stranki. ZASEŽBA LADIJ Med Zedinjenimi državami in ostalimi 20 republikami Amerike se vršijo razgovori, katerih posledica najbrž bo, da bodo vse ameriške republike zasegle inozemske trgovske ladje, ki zara^ di evropske vojne počivajo v nevtralnih ameriških pristaniščih. Te ladje bi se rabile le za domačo plovbo izven vojnih zon ter bi bile po vojni izročene njihovim prvotnim lastnikom nazaj, s primerno odškodnino za rabo istih. Sodi se, da taka začasna zasežba ladij ne bi kršila mednarodnega prava. REPORTER MORA ITI Italijanske oblasti v Rimu so obvestile J. T. Whitakerja, poročevalca za Chicago Daily News, da mora v desetih dneh zapustiti deželo. Pred meseci sta bila na sličen način odslovljena Frank Smothers in Richard Mowrer, tudi poročevalca za omenjeni chicaški list. Nedavno je bilo inozemskim diplomatom v Rimu prepovedano zapuščati mesto brez dovoljenja oblasti. Zdi se, da v sončni Italiji ni vse rožnato, ker se oblasti tako bojijo, da bi zunanji svet izvedel vsaj nekaj resnice o po-ožaju. LJUDSKO ZASTOPSTVO T Najvišja postavodajna oblast Zedinjenih držav je zvezni kon-1 j gres, ki se deli v dve zbornici: j! v senat in v zbornico poslancev 1 ali reprezentantov. Vsaka država, velika ali mala, z velikim ! ali malim številom prebivalstva, j ima po dva zvezna senatorja, i Senatorji se volijo za šestletni termin, vendar tako, da na vsaki dve leti preteče termin eni tretjini senatorjev. Tako se na vsaki dve leti ob priliki kongresnih volitev voli le ena tretjina novih senatorjev. Vsak predlog, predno postane zakon, mora biti odobren od večine zastopnikov v obeh zbornicah. Ker so v senatu vse države enako zastopane, ne morejo zastopniki velikih držav sprejeti postav, ki bi bile v škodo malim oziroma malo obljudenim državam. V zbornici poslancev ali reprezentantov pa je prebivalstvo prilično JLočno zastopano po številu. Število teh poslancev je po zakonu določeno na 435. Poi ljudskem štetju iz leta 1940 boj Prišel na vsakih 301,163 prebi-j valcey po en poslanec ali reprezentant. Samo v primeru, da ima država manj prebivalcev kot gori navedeno, dobi po enega poslanca na manjše število. Vsaka država mora namreč biti v kongresu zastopana najmanj z enim poslancem. Tako ima na primer država Nevada, ki šteje le 110,247 prebivalcev, enega reprezentanta v poslanski zbornici; v senatu pa ima dva zastopnika kot vsaka druga državah 1 > Ko je bila republika še mlada in je imela še malo 'prebivalstva, je bil določen po en poslanec ali reprezentant za vsakih 30,000 prebivalcev. Dežela je takrat štela okrog poltretji milijon prebivalcev in zastopstva v. poslanski zbornici je znašala nekaj nad 80. Ko je prebivalstvo naraščalo, je z istim naraščalo tudi število poslancev. Od časa do časa je kongres tudi spremenil kvoto prebivalstva za vsakega poslanca, toda pri tem so bili vedno hudi boji, ker se je vsaka država branila izgubiti kakega zastopnika. Leta 1929 je bila vzakonjena postava, ki določa, da število poslancev ali reprezentantov ne sme presegati 435, brez ozira na narastek prebivalstva. Na vsakih deset let se mora izvesti ljudsko štetje in na podlagi števila prebivalstva po državah se razdelijo mandati. Ker je število poslancev določeno na 435, se more zgoditi, da nekatere države izgubijo po enega poslanca, dasi je prebivalstvo nekoliko naraslo; na drugi strani pa dobijo nadaljne mandate države z močno naraslim prebivalstvom. Člani poslanske zbornice se volijo na vsaki dve leti. Poslanci sedanjega kongresa, ki so bi^ li izvoljeni v' jeseni leta 1940, so bili izvoljeni še na podlagi ljudskega štetja iz leta 1930. Od takrat, do ljudskega štetja v letu 1940, je prebivalstvo naraslo za skoro 10 milijonov, Oficielno število prebivalstva za leto 1940 znaša 131, 669,275. Pri prihodnjih volitvah v letu 1942 bo po en poslanec izvoljen na vsakih $01,163 prebivalcev. Ker bo skupno število poslancev ostalo isto, bodo države Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nebras-, ka, Ohio, Oklahoma in Pennsylvania izgubile po enega poslan-(Dalje na 4. strani) STROŽJE NADZORSTVO V normalnih časih so razna vladna poslopja v Washingtonu zelo malo zastražena, zadnje čase pa postaja nadzorstvo vedno strožje. Bela hiša, kjer biva predsednik, je pri vsakem vhodu zastražena vsako uro podnevi in ponoči. Nobenemu obiskovalcu Bele hiše ni dovoljeno nositi kakega zavitka. Le poštni seli in hišni uslužbenci smejo priti v Belo hišo z zavitki. Strogo zastraženi so tudi državni, vojni in mornariški department. IMPORT IZ ARGENTINE Južnoameriška republika Argentina spada med najboljše odjemalke Zedinjenih držav. Argentina ima na razpolago za izvoz mnogo mesa in mesnih izdelkov, toda do zadnjega časa tega ni mogla izvažati v Zedinjene države, ker so se temu jrotivili živinorejci naših za-jadnih držav, češ, da bo to vplivalo na cene domače živine. Vojaške oblasti Zedinjenih držav so se zdaj odločile za nakup večjih količin konzerviranega mesa iz Argentine, kar so Argentinci z navdušenjem pozdravili, posebno, ker je Argentini skoro ves evropski trg zaprt. Tukajšnje vojaške oblasti pravijo, da vojaki použijejo 60 odstotkov več mesa kot civilisti, zato je import argentinskega mesa potreben in upravičen. S tem se strinjajo tudi domači (Dalje na 4. strani) Tretje poročilo Napredka kampanje norega imena. Zaključeno 28. februarja.

PRVI ZNAKI CENZURE TIPIČNO AMERIŠKO Visoko v hribih, severovzhodno od San Francisca stoji hotel Rainbow’s End. Lastnik istega je Harvey M. % ki si je iz mislil za svoje goste prav posebne vrste razvedrilo. Gostje, ki se •mudijo tam na počitni cah,.se lahko v svojem prostem času zabavajo z izpiranjem zlata. Leta 1850 so bili zlatoiskalci odkrili tam izredno bogato bo-nanco. Zgodilo se je nekoč, da sta dve ponvi .izpranega peska dali za skoro tri tisoč dolarjev vrednosti zlata. Razume se, da je okoli te boi^ance mrgolelo zlatoiskalcev, ki so jo v nekaj letih čisto izčrpali. Ko se delo ni več izplačalo, so zlatoiskalci odšli v druge kraje. Dotični svet, ki se imenuje Rich Bar, lastuje 'zdaj lastnik gori omenjenega hotela, ki dovoljuje svojim gostom, da iščejo nugetov, ki so jih davni zlatoiskalci prezrli. Hotelska uprava daje gostom na razpolago za prekopavanje in izpiranje potrebno opremo. Novinci dobijo vse potrebne nasvete-od starega prospektorja Toma. Ormonda. Vse zlato, ki ga gostje najdejo, odkupi uprava hotela. Nekateri iskalci včasih na ta način zaslužijo po par dolarjev na dan. En najden nuget je bil vreden $75.00. Baje dela hotelir Rainbow’s Enda dober busines, njegovi gostje pa si lahko privoščijo svojevrstno zabavo, ki se jim včasih še dobro izplača. PRIDELEK LANU Lan .spada med najvažnejše kultivirane pridelke človeštva. Lanena stebla dajejo predivo, iz katerega se izdeluje preja in platno. Laneno seme se rabi v zdravilne svrhe. Olje iz lanenega semena se rabi za primes barvam in v druge svrhe. Tropine lanenega semena so izvrstna krma za živino. V Zedinjenih državah se prideluje največ lanu v Minnesoti in North Dakoti. Na tretjem mestu je California, kjer se pridelovanje lanu bolj izplača kot pridelovanje žita. V vojskujočih se državah je cenzura časopisja in radija nekaj samoumevnega. Glavni vzrok za to je namen preprečiti, da bi sovražnik dobil podatke o moči in gibanju vojaških edinic ali pa o morebitnem slabem razpoloženju prebivalstva. V totalitarnih državah deluje ! cenzura tudi na znotraj s tem, da prepoveduje prebivalstvu j poslušati radijska poročila iz inozemstva. Na kratko povedano, domače prebivalstvo sme i o položajni doma in v inozemstvu ! izvedeti le tisto, kar dovoli dik-j tatura na vrhu, inozemstvo pa tudi samo tisto, kar smatrajo I diktatorji za umestno in njim koristno, dasi je morda zlagano ali pretirano. V Angliji, na primer, je cenzura milejša, ker ne brani prebivalstvu, da bi poslušalo radijska poročila iz inozemstva, in ker ne preprečuje časopisju, da kritizira nedostatke domače uprave, časopisje pa ne sme poročati ničesar, kar bi moglo ko ristiti sovražniku v vojaškem oziru. Tudi časopisje nevtralnih evropskih držav je pod precej občutno cenzuro; deloma zato, da ne izdaja vojaških tajnosti, deloma zato, da ne razburja občutljivih velikih sosedot. časo pisi, ki jih neredno prejemamo iz Jugoslavije, to jasno dokazujejo. Dasi ,vsi vemo,- da je dežela popolnoma mobilizirana in pripravljena na obrambo, ni v listih nikakih poročil o modi in gibanju vojaških čet. časopisje se tudi skrbno izogiba priobčiti karkoli, kar bi moglo razjeziti uradno Nemčijo, Italijo ali Ru sij o. Pri vsej pažnji pa časnikarjem včasih uide kaj, kar se zdi cenzorju nevarno, in posledica je, da nastanejo prazne be-le-lise na časniških straneh. Vojna poročila so priobčevana brez komentarjev, natančno taka, kakršna izdajajo oblasti vojskujočih se držav. Kar velja v tem oziru za Jugoslavijo,’ velja nedvomno tudi za druge nevtralne evropske države, ki so si ohranile še kolikor toliko samostojnosti. Zedinjene države niso v vojni in upajo ostati izven iste, toda se z vso brzino pripravljajo za obrambo, časopisne in radijske cenzure torej še nimamo, toda neka prostovoljna cenzura se že pojavlja. Vojaške oblasti v Washingtonu so priporočile časnikarjem, naj ne bi preveč podrobno poročali o moči, naraščanju in gibanju obrambnih sil, cer to da bi znalo koristiti našim neprijateljem. Kolikor tovrstne cenzure imamo torej pri nas, je prostovoljna. Razume se, da če bi bila naša dežela prisiljena vstopiti v vojno, bi najbrž dobila nekaj uradne cenzure. Tisti, ki se spominjamo zadnje svetovne vojne, vemo, da smo imeli nekaj časopisne cenzure, dasi ni bila zelo stroga. Precej težkoč pa so ime-i posebno od začetka nekateri neangleški listi. Slovenski listi v splošnem niso imeli posebnih ežkoč, ker so bile njihove simpatije že od začetka na strani zaveznikov in Amerike, bolj prizadeti pa so bili nemški časopisi. Nedavno smo čitali kratko poročilo iz Brazilije, največje re-ptblike na ameriškem kontinentu, da so bili tam ukinjeni vsi tujejezični listi. Uradni jezik Brazilije je portugalski, toda tam je do zadnjega časa izhajalo veliko število nemških, italijanskih, španskih, ruskih, japonskih in drugojezičnih listov. (Dalje na 4. strani) ZAPOZNELE VESTI 00 TAM PREKO LEPA STAROST V Besnici pri Kranju je v starosti 99 let umrla prababica Uršula Knifičeva, rojena Piku-ševa. Rodila se je leta 1842 v revni bajti pri Pevučanu blizu Selc. Starši so ji zgodaj umrli in s 16. leti je morala že služiti. S 25. leti se je primožila na sedanje Knifičevo posestvo. Mož je kmalu umrl in žena je bila pol stoletja vdova. Včasih je pripovedovala, da ko ji je bilo komaj 16 let, se je ženil pri njej Dimež, “strah kranjske dežele,” ki pa takrat še ni bil rokovnjač, ampak prav zabaven fant. KRAJ ZLATIH POROK Malokateri kraj na Gorenjskem ima toliko zlatih porok kot Ovsiše pri Podnartu. Zakonca Urban in Barbara Verhunc sta obhajala svojo zlato poroko v novembru preteklega leta. Pred dvemi leti sta praznovala tam zlato poroko Janez in Ana Fister. Prihodnjo pomlad pa nameravata proslaviti 50-letni jubilej zakonskega življenja zakonca Trevna, tudi iz Ovsiš. LADJE BREZ POSLA Odkar je Italija posegla v vojno, je bik) v glavnem omrtvičeno tudi delovanje jugoslovanske trgovinske mornarice, ki je prej opravljala plovbo po vseh morjih, zlasti pa no Sredozemskem. Mnogo ladij se umaknilo v domače luke, jToseb no v Split. Nekatere pa so odplule v Ameriko, da tam opravljajo obalno službo. VSAK PO SVOJE Sijajno predpustno šalo si je predzadnji teden privoščilo kakih 15,000 Američanov, in sicer na račun nacijske Nemčije. Nemška radijska postaja v Berlinu je namreč pozvala Američane, da naj preko prekomorskega telefona sporočijo, kakšne programe bi želeli slišati iz Nemčije. Tako sporočilo je smelo vsebovati do 25 besed in stroške se je obvezala plačati nemška vlada. Ponudba je bila po par dneh ukinjena, ker je nemška vlada morala telefonski družbi plačati okrog 50 tisoč dolarjev za depeše iz Amerike, ki so bile po veliki večini žaljive, izzivalne ali zafrkljive vsebine. Tako se nemški naciji še niso zlepa namazali. v Pred vstopom Amerike v zadnjo svetovno vojno je takratni kajzer Viljem svaril ameriškega poslanika v Berlinu, naj se Amerika nikar ne vtakne v vojno, ker da je v Zedinjenih državah 10 milijonov NemceV,x ki lahko povzročijo upor. Na dotično svarilo pa je ameriški poslanik mirno odgovoril, da imamo v Ameriki 10 milijonov telefonskih drogov, na katere bomo uporne Nemce pobesili. Gornje dokazuje, da evropski Nemci niso razumeli Amerike tekom zadnje vojne niti je ne razumejo zdaj. -v V Chicagu je vložila tožbo za ločitev zakona neka žena, katere i mož . Ja .30,-oktobra. 1937 odšel iz hiše, da prinese steklenico mleka za jutranjo kavo, in ga 'še od takrat ni nazaj. Bogve kam je zablodila tista krava, ki bi bila morala prispevati tisto mleko za tisto kavo! v Iz Rumunije se poroča, da je nepreviden škorpijon piknil nekega nemškega nacija in je na mestu poginil, škorpijon namreč. v Italijanski list Popolo di Roma se norčuje iz ameriških vojakov, češ, da ne morejo biti kaj prida vojniki, ker so jim preveč v mislih dekleta. Nam se to ne zdi nič napačnega. Saj smo tudi mi radi pogledali za lepimi dekleti, ko smo bili mladi. (Nekateri še sedaj, Bog jim ne zapiši za greh!) Kako dobri ali kalfo slabi so ameriški vojaki v vojni, pa za enkrat ne moremo soditi, ker že nad dve desetletji niso imeli prilike tega de- i jansko pokazati. Vsekakor je gotovo, da jih italijanski vojaki v enem oziru prekašajo: bežati znajo ko strela! * Po vladni statistiki so prebivalci Zedinjenih držav v preteklem letu izdali okrog tisoč milijonov dolarjev za razne zabave. Če smo se vpričo takih izdatkov za zabave včasih kislo držali, je naša krivda. Blokada je čudovita reč. Nedavno je bilo iz Švedske poslanih 584 oljnih peči v Anglijo. 'Švedska in Anglija sta skoro sosedi, vendar je bilo treba iz Švedskega pošiljko odpremiti po suhem na Finsko, od tam po morju v Baltimore v Ameriko, iz tega ameriškega pristanišča pa spet preko Atlantika v Anglijo. Tako deluje “novi red’’ v Evropi. * Mussolini je v svojem zadnjem govoru opravičeval italijanske poraze v Afriki s trditvijo, da so Angleži napadli 5 do 10 dni prezgodaj, ko Italijani še (Dalje na 4. strani) KNJIGA O LETALSTVU Obširen rokopis za knjigo o letalstvu v slovenščini je pri pravil profesor Leopold Andree. Ker je izdaja take knjige zvezana z velikimi stroški, bo izdana le, če se priglasi določeno število predplačnikov. Ako bo knjiga izšla, bo to prva slovenska knjiga o letalstvu. KORUZO ZA KAVO Ani Županovi v Ogulinu je mešetar Puškarič obljubil preskrbeti 25 kilogramov kave, proti dobremu plačilu seveda. Naročeno dragocenost ji je prinesel v dveh vrečicah in dobil dogovorjeno plačilo. Županova pa je bila zelo presenečena, ko je v vrečicah našla večinoma namočeno koruzo. Slepar je bil kake tri četrtine kilograma ka-vinih zrn nasul samo na vrhu čoruze v vrečicah. ZVESTOBA DO SMRTI V Zavalju v Bosni so se sosedje zbrali v hiši Ante Prša, ki je umiral za hripo. Pri tisti pri-iki so nekateri opazili, da se tudi njegova žena Ana bori s slabostjo in hiteli so ji pomagati, pa brez uspeha. Zakonca sta umrla skoro istočasno. O skoro enakem primeru poročajo iz ši-senika, kjer sta po 80 let stara zakonca Iva in Matija Barano-vid umrla samo par minut narazen.

THE HANDY BOY AT HOME By Charles A. King, State Normal S chool, Plymouth, N. H. TEAY very sound asleep I can assure you after such a busy day, she heard, “Thump —Thump—Thump,” just like that and getting louder at each thump just as if somebody very big and heavy were coming up the stairs. “Thump—Thump —Thttmp!” Margy covered up her head in her blankets for while she was usually a brave little girl, even YOU would have been a little scared if you had heard such a thumping—just like something walking upstairs and along the hall right into her ROOM! “Thump—Thump—Thump,” the noise went. They were RIGHT IN HER ROOM! Then all was still. Presently Margy peeked very carefully from under her covers and who do you think was there? The snowman, looking awfully much larger and staring right at Margy. “I see you peeking,” he said with his funny little round n\outh. “No use pretending you’re asleep.” Margy shut here eyes tight directly but the snowman went on: “You can’t fool ME, Miss Margy, you’re as wide awake as I am.” It made Margy shiver with fright and she tried her best not to cry but to look quite sound asleep when suddenly the snowman began to cry himself. “How can she be so heartless?” he wailed mopping at his eyes with the window curtain. “SHE put this great big ugly long nose on me and after I came all this way to have it fixed, she lies there in bed and pretends to be asleep! Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo!” At, this Margy sat up too surprised to be frightened any more, and too, very sorry for the poor snowman. "Dear, dear,” she exclaimed, “I wouldn't be unkind to- you for any thing, Mr. Snowman.” She jumped out of bed and turned on the light. Yes ,his nose certainly was rather ridiculous, so long and sharp and there was a baby icicle hang- All the Handy Boy needs to make this ash tray is the tin cover of a coffee can. a piece of %" soft pine which may easily be sawn and whittled, a few slender tacks, a saw and a little black shellac.

Make a paper pattern of the dogs by drawing V," squares and the outlines in their correct relation to them. Mark the outlines for the three dogs and saw to the lines, being sure the edges of the pups are square with the sides. The use of a bandsaw or scroll saw will accomplish this automatically. Whittle out the little panel between the front legs and the chin between the hanging lips. Give the cover two or three coats of the black shellac; paint the dogs white and with a fine brush draw the black lines, the collar and the black end of the nose. Lay the cover in place and fasten with fine tacks driven through the cover into the dogs.

It hadn’t been Nancy’s intention at all to g ve up her seat but she decided that it was better to stand up than to bo mashed, so she said in a smothered kind of voice. “Please, I’d like to give yor. my seat too.” And then she from somewhere behind the stout lady struggled out, panting and rubbing herself for the lady was very hard as well as sti at and, as Nancy said afterwards si. felt as if an iron cook-stove dressed ir. furs had been sitting on top o.' he:. Just the l the car gave a sudden lurch and Ted 1 jst his balance. Of course, he grabbed the first thing that came handy i which happened to be his sister’s hair ! lying so neat and proper on Nancy’s ! fur collar. The hair was thick and i strong but Its owner wasn't expecting anything of the kind. Down went, JTed and down went Nancy. “I’ll never give up my seat again,” cried TeJ, tears of pain arid rage in his eyes. The passengers all laughed except one and that was the stout lady’s escort. “Why did you pull my hair?” demanded Nancy. “You almost pulled it off." “You made me give up my seat!” replies Ted. “Get up children,” said a kindly voice, and the tall gentleman who had come in with the stout lady, stooped and took an arm of each. “Why, I believe you are both crying! Where are your handkerchiefs?” Ted. who was ashamed of his tears, felt in his pocket and pulled out what he thought was his handkerchief. He pulled and pulled until he heard a laugh and his sister exclaiming: “What have you got, Teddy?” He 1« oked and there in his hand was a great huge turkey-red bandana. •Wh’re’d you get that tiling?” de-mandc I Nancy, ' "I—I don’t know, replied Ted. “Did anybody here lose a handkerchief?" Nobody did. so Ted was about to give it to his sister to keep, when he saw something that made him exclaim: •'What's that on your hat?" It wasn't April First or anything like that so Nancy took off her hat to look, and there stuck in the hatband was a big paper rose. "Gracious!” cried Nancy, “we must be bewitched!” Just then the car lurched again but this time the tall man caught the children before they fell “Let’s see the handkerchief,’ 'he said, “I think I lost one." Narcy had stuffed it in her muff. She felt inside for it and gave a little Ecreatn, dropping the muff. “What’s the matter?” asked Ted. “T1'are’s something alive inside,” cried his sister. “I felt it move." Av.!” exclaimed Ted, scornfully, and plcki: g up the muff he thrust in his hand. “Jimmy crickets!” he yelled. “It’s—it’s fuzzy!” "What’s the matter with you kids anyway?" said their tali friend. “Let me have the muff.” He felt inside. “Nothing was there at all!" he said handing it to its owner, N:> icy cautiously put in her hand. "It’s gone now," she said. "But I'm sure r felt something " "Fa did I,” said Ted. “Ugh! help!” “What’s the matter?” “There something in my overcoat!” "Where? Where?" The tall friend helped and Nancy put her hand up under the coat and pulled out something alive—a little white rabbit. "Where’d you get it? Oh, look isn’t lie a dear?” cried Nancy. “Oh, gee!” was all Ted coukj say, while all the passengers craned their necks. “Better put it in your muff to keep it warm, poor thing,” advised the tall man. Nancy obeyed. “Aw, let me hold him awhile in my pocket,” Ted said. “All right get him out.” He put his hand in the muff and pulled out—the bandana handkerchief! “Where’s the rabbit! I put in there. Oh dear, it’s gone! Here you hold the handkerchief and I’ll look inside.” Nancy held up her muff and peered into it while Ted held the handkerchief—not very close to him for he had a sneaking notion that it was bewitched. “Put it in your pocket,” urged their tall friend, stuffing it in. “Do you see the rabbit, little girl?” “No, it's gone!” she replied. “Oh dear, and it was such a little darling!” “Don’t you want to keep the handkerchief, Nancy?” asked Ted, who had taken a dislike to it. He pulled it out of his pocket and /\ _ - - , -.A ... , ^ . ’I ; j the more he pulled the more came out. “Help me, Nancy !” he cried, “It's gotten as big as tablecloth!” And .sure enough, it had! It even had fringes. “Let’s throw it away!” said Ted, but j Nancy said: '‘No, Sara would like it out | in the kitchen, I know. We’ll fold it i up.” “I'll help you,” said the kind gentleman, taking one side. They folded it in half then in quar- | ters, then again, then again, and the j first thing Nancy knew it was folded in J a tiny square just the size of her palm. “My gracious!" she screamed. “This can’t be the same one!” And she shook ! it out. It had turned into a little silk handkerchief no bigger than one of her i smallest ones. | “Say!” she exclaimed looking suspi- j I ciously at the tall man. “I believe you’re j doing this! You're a magician." I The man only smiled and cocked one j | eyebrow. "Please make the rabbit come,” entreated Ted, holding on to his arm. “If I tell you how to get one, will you take back what you said?’ ’asked the i tall man. “What did I say?” . “That you'd never give up your seat again.” “Oh, of course. I didn't really mean it. How can I get a little rabbit?” "Tomorrow morning at breakfast,” said the tall man, “just walk up behind your father and put your hand on the : back of his head—like this—and rub, j and say: ‘Kam-kamie-kam,’ and immediately you will feel—a little hair." “Really?” cried Ted. And just let me wrap up that little \ handkerchief for you, my dear," said ! the magician to Nancy. "It's a very delicate handkerchief and might—ahem— ; catch cold.” He pulled out a piece of paper from j his pocket and wrapped the handker- ! ' chief' up. “Thank you very much," Nancy said i J politely. i “Oh» here’s our corner!" cried Ted, regretfully. “We’ll have to get off.” "Goodbye! And don’t forget about— I j the little hare tomorrow at breakfast,” j ■ said the magician. | The children left the car and hur-! rlec^ home, Nancy holding tight her j parcel and expected it to change into ; something else or fly away any minute, i Safe at home with the door locked they felt they could open it. It was a mussy package. Nancy shook it open. Alas! There was no little silk handkerchief inside, only two little bits of cardboard fluttered out. Ted stooped and picked them up. . “Oh, gee! Look! Two tickets to see! Hungerton, the Great Magician, tomor- j row afternoon!” he cried. “Let me see!" Nancy exclaimed. "Sure enough, they are! Quick, let's give ’em j to mama to keep for us. They might I fly away." The next morning, Ted’s father turned around indignantly in his jjhair and demanded: “What are you rubbing my head for, eh, young man?” “The man told me to, Dad,” said Ted. “I want a little rabbit.’; "Is that the way to get one?" inquired Teacher’s Pet The other boys in the school all called Algernon “Teacher’s Pet.” Instead of minding it, however, he seemed to be quite proud of it. And little Algernon never overlooked an opportunity to help Teacher. But, only the other day, alas, he at-' tempted to render a service to Teacher —an inestimable service—and got two “lickin’s” for doing so. “Reddy” Thomas, the acknowledged | “bad boy” of the class, took advantage of an unusual opportunity and poured | some mucilage on Teacher’s chair. Algernon saw him do it and straightway jumped to his feet and hurried to the aisle. Just as he reached the chair | Teacher turned from the blackboard | and started to sit down. Like a flash, the thoughtful Alger-I non realized that he hadn’t time to explain to Teacher so—he grabbed the j chair and pulled it out from under her | and the Teacher sat down—but not on | the chair! She didn’t remain there long, how-| eycr, for the next instant she was up and had Algernon across her knee— i without waiting an explanation of any sort. It was his first “lickin' ” and he felt | the humiliation of it more than thet j pain. Then—the operation over with— :he told Teacher, between sobs, jus?' why he had pulled the chair from under her. So Teacher straightway turned j her attention to “Reddy” and attended ito that young man thoroughly. Algernon’s other “lickin’ ”? Oh, yes, “Reddy” saw to that out-!side after school that afternoon! :----------- A FREE TRIP To date, there are four Juvenile dele-! gates and one Honorary Delegate qualified to go to the Fourth Juvenile Con-i vention with all-expense traveling fare | paid plus $3 per day while traveling to j and frorrf their homes and during their ; stay in Ely, Minn.

You won’t be sorry! his father. “No, he didn't either,” said Nancy bursting with laughter. “He said you'd I feel a little hair!” | The laugh was on Ted, but not for long, because that night when he went to bed, his head teeming with magic, he | felt something tickling his toes under ! the covers. Out of bed he sprang and j turned on the lights. Then he cautiously opened up the cover and there down ! at the foot was a little white rabbit. “Wheel What a wind!” cries BROWN-haired Teddy, holding his RED cap on his head with one hand while’ he hugs his YELLOW school books under his arm. “My RED scarf will blow off any nioment! I can feel its YELLPW tassels whipping about in the March wind!” “Oh, me oh my!" cries YELI®W-haired Susie May. ‘ I am having trouble, too! But I’ve caught,another hat!

First, of all it was Saturday and big Sister Flossy, who was all of eight, didn’t have to go to school, so the two of them had been busy all day building the most enormous big snowman with the blackest lumps of coal for eyes and the longest, sharpest icicle for a nose you ever saw. Flossy made his mouth by making a little round hole with her thumb where his mouth ought to be and what a surprised looking snowman he was to be sure. He looked just as if he were saying, “O-O-O!” Now here is the funniest part, as Margy can tell you. That night when she was tucked in her little bed and Margy Laid The Warm Cloth On Mr. Snowman’s Nose ing frcm the end of it in the funni*® J way. a “Why, Mr. Snowman, I wouldn’t m ? you for anything," Margy went * ^ "and I'll be glad to fix your nose U ^ can. Let me see.” She stood on 11 ^ tippy tose and looked at the Sno? ^ man’s nose. ( “Would it hurt, do you think, if I “ ;; a little off?” she asked. ;;J I "Dear, dear! That-would scare me death!” The snowman shuddered at ‘ very thought, “O-o-o, don’t cut j nose.” I He was so frightened he s'100*1-j J over and was such a funny sight | almost laughed, not quite though jl « cause she was too kindhearted a J girl to laugh at another’s distress^ J: “I have it,” she cried. “I’ll Put . water on it and melt it down int° right shape.” . J She took her little wash cloth fl;'. f ran to the bathroom with it where^ , could put it under the hot water ( then back she came, and put the w j cloth on the snowman’s nose. The result was quite magical’ . , j long nose grew shorter arid shorter ^ soon he said it was quite to his for Margy let him look at hiinse her litle glass. , s, Well, my dear, after that he tha11^ c her very nicely and went away t thumping downstairs and out of d ^ t Margy remembers getting into her ^ t as if nothing odd had happened * ^ 1 and you know, the next morning * ( I she went outto see him, there stoo snowman under the snow laden ^ j with a nice little short nose jus | t Margy had fixed it for him.

Al has a lot of sweli reoords for his electric phonograph. One of my favorites is “You Are My Sunshine.” Is the record-changer still “automatic,” Al, or has it run out of “juice”? s:< * * , Stan, you’re doing a great job as editor of our Nova Doba. It’s nice to see so many new writers in the juvenile section. We’re all glad you’re “making good” out there in Cleveland, but, I’m telling you, Stan, Ely seems pretty empty for a lot of people after you’ve gone, (especially “Her”!) But, young man, watch your step! Don’t let any more “zlehtnobe” ruin your peaches and cream complexion! You know what that’ll do to your good looks! * * * We certainly have a good start for the next juvenile convention here in Ely. As I see from the special announcement, Robert and Gilbert Zbasnik have already qualified. I see that Flo Startz, our well-known Nova Doba correspondent, is now in full swing getting new AFU members. Are you going to be next, Flo? I know we’re going to have a large convention here with loads of delegates. It’s really worth working for, to see beautiful scenery such as we have here in the land of 10,000, lakes. The delegates can do a little of everything— fishing, blueberry picking, boat-riding, swimming, and loads of other things. # * * ft We are having a mild winter this year. The temperature has never dropped below 30 degrees. It’s fun to go winter fishing. All you have to do is chop a hole in the ice and sit back and wait till a sucker comes and takes a bit; (I mean a fish, of course!). If you get cold, all you have to do is run around the fire a couple of times. The fire is right there on the ice, so you can have your dinner anytipne. Fresh bun and weiners or Polish with mustard and “scaff” are pretty good out there in the woods! Doesn’t that sort of tempt you, Stan? * * * The Co-op Youth League held an outing on January 12, at Kalevi Karasti s cabin at Fall Lake. “Mojaka” was served. I missed out on this grand affair because my niece, Darlene, was baptized that day. I became a “botra” and do I feel big! The next affair of our Co-op League is to be a Valentine dance held at the Worker’s Hall, Saturday night. Those members selling the smallest number of tickets will be obliged to give a party for those who sold the most tickets. I guess I better get busy selling tickets, eh what? I hope the girls win. * ❖ I guess I better go now, and do some planning for the sleigh-ride party the Co-op League is going to have. I’m the chairman of the sleigh-ride committee and if I don’t hurry up, there won’t be any snow to have a sleigh-ride on! Bye now! Justine Korent Lodge No. 200 And now a word or two about our fine organization, the AFU. I think that it is a grand organization for Slovene youth of America; for the protection and also the fun we get out of it. I can’t seem to write a long letter, so I hope that you will excuse me until next month when I hope to write again. OK boys! Let’s hear from Strabane! Write soon! Your friend and brother member, Joseph Sedmak, Lodge 149, AFU. STRABANE, PA. DEAR EDITOR AND MEMBERS: — This is the first time in the 11 years of my existence that I have attempted to write a letter for this newspaper or any newspaper. I have seen those three letters that that the three girls from Strabane, Pa:, have written, but I see that there aren’t any letters from any of the boys from this community. I think that the letters are very good and interesting. I am writing this letter to encourage other boys to write to this paper, just as the three girls have encouraged me. Because I think we should hear more from the boys in Lodge- 149, AFU in Strabane. Now to write something about myself. I am still going to grade school in Strabane, but in a couple of years I hope to be one of the few who manage to go to Canonsburg High School. There are three high schools that we boys and girls can go to from Strabane. They are Trinity, Chartiers, or Canonsburg high school. Everybody think that Canonsburg high is the hardest, but it’s the best. It is just like Mary Ludvik says; it is noted for its athletics and that’s one reason why I want to be a student there. Former Juvenile Delegate Will Try to Qualify Third Consecutive Time (Editor’s Note: You all know Veronica Barbie of Lodge 149, AFU of Strabane, Pa., that lively little town that has so many juveniles contributing to the Magic Carpet page each week. She was a delegate to the last two juvenile conventions and she is determined to make it three times in a row. Read her following story, and you, too, will be enthused and may try to enter the campaign and work hard to qualify as a delegate. Bouquets and lots of luck to you, Veronica!—Little Stan.) Strabane, Pa. — Now that the campaign has started I know there are a lot of juveniles wondering if they could attend the Fourth Juvenile Convention this year. To those juveniles who are wondering, I say that you could be a delegate if you wanted to be —one of those happy delegates who will be fn Ely, Minn., this year. Maybe you’re saying: “How does she know I could be a delegate?” — But I’m going to tell you why I said that! Back in 1937 when the campaign for the Second Juvenile Convention had started, I read everything in the Nova Doba concerning the campaign. I finally told myself I would like to go to Ely and represent our Lodge (No. 149, AFU). I went to my mother and asked her if I could join in the campaign like other juveniles and obtain new members for our organization so that I might be a delegate. She didn’t give me the answer I expected, but she told me I was too young and that I might get lost; and where would I get all these new members? But I still wanted to go. I asked my father that evening, and he said I might try even if I didn’t get enough members to be a delegate. I worked all summer with my father trying to enroll new members. We needed a few more to reach the quota, but It was nearing the end of the campaign and I thought maybe I couldn't make It after all. 1 Veronica Barbie Around that time, Lodge 149 had a picnic which Mr. Terbovec (Editor-Manager of Nova Doba) attended. At the picnic, I was introduced to him and we talked about the convention. He aslced me if I was going to Ely, and I told him I didn’t know. He encouraged me when he said I would make it all right. Well, I made it Because I wanted to, so you can also make it if you really want to. In 1931 I wanted to attend the Third Juvenile Convention and again I met up with the same obstacles as I tried to qualify. I overcame these obstacles for the second time—they weren’t strong j enough to hold me back—and again was a delegate to the convention. I WANT TO GO AGAIN THIS YEAR BUT I’LL HAVE TO WORK VERY HARD. WE ARE REWARDED FOR THE WORK WE DO, SO JOIN THE CAMPAIGN »ND RECEIVE A REWARD? 7 Alexander Ave. STRABANE, PA. DEAR EDITOR : I am sorry I could not write sooner because I just couldn’t get started, but I want to thank you very much for the dollar check I received this month. The weather out here is very cold. It snows nearly every day, but the sun nearly always melts it. I was very sorry to hear that Frances Zele, one of Nova Doha’s steady writers was operated for appendicitis Jast week and I hope she gets well soon. It seems as though Strabane has the most juveniles writing letters td the Magic Carpet than any other lodge and we should be proud of it! (Ed. Note: We certainly are proud of Strabane! And here’s wishing Frances Zele a speedy recovery!) I have heard that there are going to be many new writers from Strabane, too! Come on Strabane! Show the juveniles from other lodges what this little town’s really got! Well, this is all I can think of now, but I’ll try to write more next time. So long! Edward DeLost, Lodge 149, AFU What is the reward? — The biggest reward is the trip to Ely. This includes the train ride to and from Ely, the enjoyable stay at Ely, meeting the supreme officers, delegates, and friends from all over the country, seeing beautiful sights, receiving your pin and certificate of merit, and many other.such items could be mentioned, but space doesn’t permit. Jf you don’t receive enough new members to qualify as a delegate you still receive the reward in money for obtaining new members. Come on Juveniles! Join the Campaign and by doing so you’ll help to make the American Fraternal Union the I biggest and best of all organizations. I I’m goin gto help, are you?! Recently two more Strabane juveniles i introduced themselves to the Nova Do-; ba readers. They are Mary Ludvik and | Virginia Boles. Very nice girls! Keep it !up! When my brother Harry saw Vir-I ginia’s article, he cut it out and put it in his pocket. I wonder why? , Frances Zele, who regularly contributes articles to Nova Doba, recently underwent an operation for appendicitis. At the time of this writing, she is still in the hospital, and well on the road to recovery. Feb. 21, was a sad day at Cliartier’s high school. That was the last day of | teaching , for two of our teachers— ; namely, Mr. Pala, and Mr. Martincheck. ! They are enlisted as Second Lieutenants in the Reserve Officers Marine ! Corps, and they are Waving for a year i of active service. In the evening we held a farewell dance at our school. Our gym was beautifully decorated in patriotic colors. The dance was a great success, but I’m going to miss the teachers I learned to like so well at Chartier’s. In conclusion I wish to thank the editor for the dollar check awarded me for my previous article. Until next time I’ll just say so lf-g, everybody! This is Veronica Barbie No. 149, AFU 207 2nd St.,. S. W. CHISHOLM, MINN. DEAR EDITOR: This is my first letter to Nova Doba. I am proud to belong to the American Fraternal Union society, and I like the name of it now! I like to make up poems, and so I made one up about Abraham Lincoln. This is it. ABRAHAM LINCOLN By Alyce Sega A mighty fine man was Abraham, While he governed Old Uncle Sam. He was a president, young and fine, One that would now be hard to find. Brave, Strong, and Kind was he, As fine a man as there could be.. Let some of our boys try and see, If they could be as fine as he. We have a day for him each year, When people are so full of cheer. They also like the stories to hear, Of the man who to us is, Oh, so dear. It, is quite late for, this poem now, but I didn’t think of writing to the Nova Doba before. Alyce Sega (Age: 11) Lodge 30, AFU (Ed. Note: The poem was fine. Never too late for a good poem!) STRABANE, PA. DEAR EDITOR: I finally decided to write to this wonderful paper. I am a member of the American Fraternal Union, Lodge 149 in Strabane, Pa., and I am mighty proud. When I read all the wonderful letters sent in by the other boys and girls, I could not help but sit down and start writing. I noticed a lot of my friends from Strabane writing to this wonderful paper, and I want to teil them to keep up the good work. The weather here in Strabane for the past few weeks has been very cold. I attend Chartier’s high school located In McGovern, Pa. Our wrestling team, which was formed last year under the wonderful coaching of Frank Martin-check, has been vastly1 improving although it does not have the experience which other wrestling teams have. I wrestle in the 115-pound class. I’ll close now and write more next time. In the meantime, I would like to see more letters from Strabane. So come on gang, let’s show them what good old Strabane can do! Vincent Braddock No. 149, AFU PINEY FORK, OHIO DEAR EDITOR AND MEMBERS: This is my first letter to the AFU paper, the Nova Doba. I will be 10 years old March 1st. I am in the fourth grade. My teacher’s name is Miss Greene, and I like her very much. I like to go sled-riding and skiing. But best of all I like to go skating. The ponds are frozen and we go skating almost every day. I hope that summer never comes, for I have more fun in the winter time. Our whole family belongs to the AFU. Goodbye until the next time I write. Arthur Lesjak, Box 41 Lodge 155, AFU PINEY FORK, OHIO DEAR EDITOR: I want to thank all for the dollar check I received in the mail. It will soon be springtime again, and then we can go fishing. In the spring I go fishing almost every day. Sometimes on Saturday or some days when there is no school, we go fishing further away from home. Now I have been skating. Last year we had plenty of sleigh rides. This year I didn’t do much sleigh-riding. News here in Piney Fork is that the company put new machinery in the mines, and some men lost their jobs. That is all I have to say for this time. Frank Mozlna, Lodge 155, AFU 124 Blake Street SALIDA, COLORADO DEAR EDITOR: The first thing I want to do is to thank you very much for the $3.00 check I received Feb. 18th. It came as a big surprise. Didn’t really have time to write, but I found I didn’t have anything else to do this evening, so I decided about the letter to Nova Doba. I've had an article every month for the year 1941 so far. Last month I didn’t have time to write, so I’ll make up for it this month. The weather here in Salida is swell. I’ve had more fun lately! Of course it’s been so nice that I go skating here after school and on week-ends I go horseback riding. More fun! I really enjoy the week-ends. We, Freshmen in Salida High School, are celebrating Freshman Week from Feb. 17th to 21st. I made a motion at the Freshmen meeting to let the boys carry dolls to school for a whole week; but one of the boys turned right around and told our Freshmen sponsor, Mr. Soles, to make the girls carry a little teddy-bear. The boys are mean! Well, we girls won’t mind because the boys have to carry their dear little dolls! Well ,so much for this ’cause I have to start my story which I have continued each month. MYSTERIOUS GIRL AND HER THREE COMPANIONS Part III By Velna Tekavec “But what about the two Indian girls?” asked Billy. Meanwhile the two Indian girls, On-ra and Tonra opened the door to the next room—one of the rooms in the old mine shaft. Tonra is at the door, and Dnra went to the window which was opened. Opening the door with a swift movement, Tonra barked crisply: “Reach for the sky! I've got you covered!” One of the men drew his pistol swiftly and was about to shoot at Tonra. But Onra wasn’t sleeping at the window. She shot at the man before he could pull the trigger, and her bullet knocked the gun out of the man’s hand. The man whirled and looked at Onra who was climbing into the window. “How many more want to shoot?” she asked coolly. “White Star Girl is gone, but she will soon return to tell us where we are going to put you!” “How many gangs are there in this town or in the state who are linked with the same mob?” questioned Tonra. “Anyway! we don’t expect you to answer that question, but you’ll be 'answering a lot of questions by the time you’re through.” Meanwhile, Billy and White Star girl arrived at their place. “You were going to tell me who you were,” reminded Billy. | “I’m sorry, Billy, but I will when I get to know you better,” returned Jean, "You see, Billy, it’s supposed to remain a secret. Only Onra and Tonra, the two Indian girls know who I really am. I mean, my name, my life, and why I help the sheriff. It’s a mystery to everyone in Brookville who ever saw or heard of me, but no ne except the two Indian girls ever saw me without my mask. But we’ve got to get into the house," finished Jean. Entering the house, Billy exclaimed; “Oh, your house is beautiful, the little spring house, the trees, grass, flowers, cabin, and everything is just so beau- • tiful. Oh! it’s just a marvelous place! “Look, Billy,” said Jean, “Do you suppose you could stay in the house until Onra, Tonra, and I get back? It won’t take long—you can read these books; here is some candy to eat and here are more funny books to read.” “Sure, I can stay but—” said Billy— “but here they come now!" The girls dismounted and came in. Billy popped a question: “What did the sheriff say when the girls brought in the papers?” i "He didn’t say anything,” replied Onra, “but I set papers on the table and me say ’here are some of the men and some convincing charges we find in cabin’—and we waltzed out, but we watched through the window to see if he put them in jail. Yes, he did, but not very fast—and—” { "What’s wrong?” asked Jean as Onra paused and stopped. “Nothing, only I thought I saw someone drive in yard.” “You see what they want, Billy,” ordered Jean. ( "They want us,” was the quick reply- “You say that I’ll call them and If they try anything funny, shoot one shot, and to make sure, we’ll be watching.” “OK, I am not afraid,” answered Billy. “You can use Tonra’s gun,” said Onra. Billy walked out and hesitatingly blurted, “What do you want?” There were two Indian men. “Little squaw who are here,”’ answered one of the men. “Did you want to see someone special?” querried Billy.,” “We just wondered who lived here,” answered the second of the two men. “We live here,” came the voices of the three girls as they walked out. The Indian men looked at the Indian girls and- the White Star Girl, Jean, and grinned. (To be continued.) Until next month, I remain, Velna Tekavec (Age: 14) Lodge 78, AFU / x-x.m , j severne Afrike ni slišati o vec-, | jih bojih med Italijani in Angle-| ži. Na Sredozemskem morju | še vedno gospodari angleška vojna mornarica. ANGLEŠKO-NEMŠKA VOJNA Nemci so pretekli teden poročali o velikih uspehih njihovih, podmornic in bombnikov, ki na- j padajo angleško plovbo. Potopljenih je bilo baje večje število angleških tovornih ladij. Angle-1 ži od svoje strani trdijo, da nji-! I hove izgube niso bile niti zdaleč j tako velike kot se hvalijo Nem-: 1 ci. Vsekakor se zdi, da Nemčija : posveča največjo pozornost po-! tapljanju angleških ladij. Letalski napadi na angleško celino se vrše kot običajno in angleški j letalci noč za nočjo napadajo! važne industrijske in vojaške j točke v Nemčiji in v od Nem-j čije zasedenih deželah. V zasedeni Franciji je bil v neki nesreči ubit podadmiral Lotharj von Arnauld de la Perierer, eden! | najvecjih nemških strokovnja-j kov v pomorskem bojevanju, j Njegov praoče se je leta 1757: preselil iz Francije v Prusijo. NEVIHTA NAD BALKANOM Vsi znaki kažejo, da se je ali se bo v kratkem nad Balkanom razbesnela prava vojna nevihta, kateri je bila vojna med Grčijo in Italijo le predhodnica. Bolgarija je dne 1. marca podpisala pakt z državami osišča, to je z Nemčijo, Italijo in Ja-| ponsko. Uniformirane nemške čete, katerim so že nad teden dni prej pripravljali pot civilno | oblečeni oddelki nemške vojske, i so takoj po podpisu pakta zasedle vse važne točke v Bolgariji, v smeri proti Grčiji. Nem-j ška okupacija Bolgarije ima vsekakor namen pritiskati na Grčijo, da sklene diktiran mir z Italijo. Mala Bolgarija se najbrž ni mogla upirati zahtevam, Nemčije; nekoliko je morda k^ temu paktu pripomoglo tudi dejstvo, da je bolgarski kralj, ! Boris nemškega pokolenja, nje- i gova soproga pa je italijanska ! princeza. Ako izvzamemo evropski del Turčije, je na Balkanu sedaj še samo ena nevtralna | država, namreč Jugoslavija. Koliko časa se bo mogla ustavljati pritisku Nemčije in Italije, da se pridruži osišču kot se je Bolgarija, ne more nihče vedeti. Na vsak način je Jugoslavija v zelo neprijetnem položaju, obkrožena od vseh strani, z izjemo grške meje, od vojaških sil osišča. Iz Rima se poroča, da ima Anglija zbrano znatno vojaško1 silo v grškem Solunu in v bližini; istega. Zdi se, da je zveza med i Turčijo in Anglijo trdna in da; bo Turčija stopila v boj, kakor hitro bi nemške čete nameravale1 prekoračiti grško mejo. Po nekih poročilih ima Turčija v tem oziru moralno pomoč Rusije.j Turčija je zaprla dardanelsko ožino za vse ladje, ki nimajo za! i plovbo preko iste posebnega do-; ; voljenja turških oblasti. Glasom nekih poročil so an-| ' gleški letalci bombardirali ru-j munske oljne vrelce in povzroči-' 1 li več požarov. Rumunija, kot j znaho, je okupirana po nemških četah in rumunski oljni vrelci so velike važnosti za Nemčijo. Na splošno je situacija na Balkanu in v Sredozemlju zelo zamotana in nejasna in poročila jod tam so si dostikrat v direkt-j nem nasprotju. Vsekakor ni dvoma,v da je položaj na Balkanu silno napet in da je pričakovati velike eksplozije vsak čas. Isto-tako ni dvoma, da je Jugoslavija v skrajno nevarni situaciji. Ali bo prisiljena se pridružiti državam osišča, ali bo še vsaj ! nekaj časa mogla ostati nevtralna, je na kocki. ---------- LJUDSKO ZASTOPSTVO (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) ca. Tri mandate več bo dobila država California, po enega več pa države: Arizona, Florida, Zadnje čase se menda vse križem sklepajo nenapadalne po godbe med balkanskimi država-, mi. Če bodo take nenapadalne j pogodbe na Balkanu tako malo I držale kot so slične pogodbe višje na severu in zapadu, jih bodo starinarji kmalu prodajali po ducat za groš. A. J. T. DRUŠTVENE IN DRUGE SLOVENSKE VESTI (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) V Euclidu, Ohio, je bil preteklo soboto zvečer povožen Mr. Ludvik Medvešek, knjigovodja v tiskarni Enakopravnosti v Clevelandu, kjer se tiska tudi Nova Doba. Dobil je precej težke poškodbe in se nahaja v bolnišnici. SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) živinorejci in ne protestirajo več proti importu. PROTINACIJSKI NEMCI Preteklo nedeljo se je Vršila v New Yorku konferenca Nem-ško-ameriškega kongresa za demokracijo, katere organizacije namen je boriti se proti nacizmu in vplivati na sorojake, da so lojalni Ameriki. V tej organizaciji je večje število nemških in-telektuaicerv', ki so zaradi svojih svobodomiselmh nazorov morali pobegniti fz Nemčije, ko so naciji prišli do vlade. POZNA ZIMA Mesec marec je pridivjal v deželo kot rjoveč lev. Na paci-fični obali so divjali hudi viharji z močnimi deževnimi nalivi, več vzhodnih držav pa je dobilo obilico snega in občuten mraz. Sneg in poledica sta dosegla North Carolino in celo v Floridi in Louisiani se je temperatura vzdržala le par stopinj nad zmrzlino. LUNIN MRK V Zedinjenih državah bo v zgodnjih jutranjih urah 13. marca videti nepopolen lunin mrk. V New Yorku ga bo videti ob 6. uri in deset minut zjutraj, v Clevelandu ob 6.42, dalje proti zapadu pa bo dosegel svoj višek pet minut pred sedmo uro zjutraj. Na pacifični obali, kjer se tri ure pozneje zdani, bo mogoče opazovati ves potek mrka. BIVŠI KRALJ UMRL V Rimu je dne 28. februarja i po partedenski bolezni umrl biv-j ši španski kralj Alfon^ star 55 let. Zadnjih 10 let, odkar je bila • Španija pretvorjena v republiko, je živel v pregnanstvu, večinoma na Dunaju, v Franciji in Italiji. Pred tedni se je oficielno odpovedal španskemu prestolu v korist svojemu sinu donu Juanu. Danes vlada Španijo diktator Franco in vsaj za enkrat! mladi prestolonaslednik Juan ni-! ma dosti izgledov, da bi zasedel španski prestol. VROČA AFRIKA Zdi se, da postaja Italijanom v Afriki čimdalje bolj vroče, pretekli,teden so Angleži zavzeli; Mogadiscio, glavno mesto italijanske kolonije Somalije. Me-, sto samo na sebi ni kaj posebnega, toda je živčno središče’ razsežne kolonije, ki šteje nad milijon prebivalcev. V Etiopiji; baje cesar Haile Selassie z angleško pomočjo uspešno preganja italijanske zavojevalce. Iz ids. ^ 0t< a 4 .

ŠT. 10 JANKO N. ROGELJ, GLAVNI PREDSEDNIK: DOLŽNOST NAS KLICE Vsak član ali članica Ameriške bratske zveze ima poleg pravic tudi dolžnosti v okvirju medsebojnega bratstva,^ na podlagi katerega je bila zasnovana naša preizkušena podporna organizacija. Dolžnosti so lahko 'majhne, lahko so velike, lahko so pa tudi nujne, kadar je poklican sleherni član in sleherna članica, da se odzove klicu bratstva in dobre volje, na podlagi katere raste in se širi naša spoštovana in poznana organizacija. Pravice vsakega člana in članice so zapisane v naših pravilih, (za katere se vsak postavi v boj da jih obdrži; tudi o dolžnostih govore pravila, toda dolžnosti so nekaterim naloženo breme, ker se ne zavedajo, principa, na podlagi katerega so bile ustanovljene nase ameriške bratske podporne organizacije. Nujna bratska dolžnost nas kliče, da se odzovemo klicu kampanje novega imena za četrto mladinsko konvencijo. Poklicani so člani mladinskega oddelka, da si priborijo redno delegatstvo, opozorjeni so člani odraslega oddelka, da ovenčajo svojo zmago s častnim delegat-'stvom. Vsi imajo enako in isto priliko, ako se zavedajo svoje dolžnosti napram naši Ameriški bratski zvezi. Društvo številka 1 v Elyu, Minnesota, kjer je rojstno mesto naše organizacije, kjer živijo še ustanovniki in pionirji preteklih in davnih dni zapričetega bratstva in samaritanstva, kjer stoji glavni urad in stan že preko dva in štirideset let, je prvo društvo naše Zveze s podčrtanim naglasom naznanilo našemu članstvu po širni Ameriki, da imajo dva delegata in dve delegatinji za četrto mladinsko konvencijo ter eno častno delegatinjo. To je zdrav in učinkovit pričetek, to je znak dobre volje in pridnfega dela, to je privlačen čin, katerega bi moralp posnemati sleherno drutvo naše Zveze. Dobri vzgledi vlečejo. Naj ti dobri in upoštevanja vredni vzgledi najdejo pot na sleherno društveno sejo v mesecu marcu, da bo vsako društvo postavilo svoje kandidate. Vi, društveni uradniki, otresite se bojazni in omalovaževanja ter pričnite z dobro voljo in navdušenjem. Kdor ni zapričel dela, ta ga tudi ni nikoli dokončal. Vi, zvesti člani in članice, pomagajte z dobro besedo in prijateljskim nasvetom, vsi pojdite na delo, vsak naj napravi nekaj, a skupno boste pokazali, kako' veliko moč imate pri društvu. Zdramite se v prihajajoči pomladi. Nova rast in novo življenje v naravi nas kliče na delo. Žgane naj se v vaših srcih zavedna dobrohotnost in poživljajoča želja, da hočete tudi vi ustvarjati in dosegati Uspehe, ki bodo vam v i' priznanje in v dobrobit vaši in moji Ameriški bratski zvezi. Zastavite vaš ponos in zmožnost, da z vašim delom lahko dosežete zmago častnega delegatstva. Pomagajte članom in članicam našega mladinskega oddelka, da dosežejo delegatstvo četrte mladinske konvencije. V naših mladinskih konvencijah vzgajamo ih pripravljamo našo mladino za prihajajočo bodočnost. Sadovi naših mladinskih konvencij se vidno in rapidno kažejo na straijeh angleške sekcije naše Nove Dobe. To je nadvse razveseljiv pojav, ki nam jamči nove in mlade voditelje, ki bodo razumevali pomen in namen ameriškega bratskega udejstvovanja. V naši mladini je Usta premostitev, ki bo obdržala našo prganizacijo pri življenju in napredovanju. Dajte jim priliko^ učite jih in navdušujte jih, saj to je kampanja novega imena, saj to je sedaj njih organizacija: American Fraternal Union, katere poslanico lahko zanesejo med ameriško mladino. Bratje in sestre, kadar greste na agitacijo, bodite tolerantni in zmerni v vsakem pomenu besede. Govorite dobro o naši organizaciji, ker imate podlago za tP, ako jo poznate. Ne podcenjujte druge bratske organizacije, ker mi ne tekmujemo ž njimi, ampak skušamo završiti samo del bratskega udejstvovanja v Ameriki. Vse ameriške bratske organizacije so v tekmi z ameriškimi življen-skimi zavarovalnicami. Kadar Vpisujete nove člane, bodite previdni, da za-’ pišete značajne, zdrave in zaželjive člane. Imejte v mislih tudi to, da hočemo novih' članov in članic v obeh oddelkih, ki bodo tudi ostali med nami. Vpisani člani,, ki odpadejo po nekaj mesecih, povzročijo v glavnem uradu samo veliko dela, to je vse. Ni dovolj, da ima samo delegat ^aželjeni uspeh, Zveza pa delo, od katerega,ni napredka in stalnosti. To naj bodo moja navodila in nasveti vsem, ki bodo i aktivni v sedanji kampanji, Kadar vas kliče dolžnost, niso bili pripravljeni. Angleži res ne poznajo manir. Zakaj niso počakali, da bi bili Italijani nabasali svoje puške in kanone. In tudi Grkom so šli pomagati, dasi jim Italijani niso dali dovoljenja za to. Italijani so z Grki bolj gentlemansko postopali : dali so jim natančno tri ur*e časa, da se pripravijo! * 'u' V Michiganu je bila zadnja predsedniška kampanja zelo o-stra in strupena. Zato ne more nobenega presenetiti poročilo iz malega mesta v omenjeni državi, da živi tam neki mož, ki pohrusta 50 funtov čebule na mesec, in ’se dobro počuti. Želodcu, ki je prenesel prej omenjeno kampanjo, tudi 50 funtov čebule ne more škodovati. * / Iz Madrida so pretekli teden poročali, da je prispelo v Španijo par stotnij nemških vojakov, da pomagajo pri popravi razdejanja, katero so v deželi povzročili nedavni viharji. Mi bi sodili, da prihod nemških vojakov najbrž pomeni začetek pravega razdejanja v Španiji. * V senatni zbornici legislature države Washington je bilo sklenjeno, da se mora odkriti vsak, ki stopi v omenjeno zbornico. V poslanski zbornici iste legislature pa so hitro nato sklenili, da si mora sezuti čevlje vsak sena- j tor, ki stopi v poslansko zbor- i nico. Take probleme rešujejo državni postavodajalci. Pa včasih kikamo čez poslovanje naših konvencij! * Anglija že precej trpko občuti vojno in obetajo se ji še nadalj-ne grozote. Zaradi varčevanja z blagom je bilo uradno določeno, da morajo v bodoče biti ženska krila dva palca krajša kot dosedaj. Neki ameriški kores-pondent v zvezi s tem resignira-no konštatira, da Angležinje nimajo nič kaj lepih nog. * V Rochestru, N. Y., je Anthony Musolino dobil sodnijslfo dovoljenje, da svoje ime spremeni na Anthony Mason. Avtor te kolone se v principu ne strinja s spremembami rodbinskih imen, toda v tem primeru bi tudi on napravil izjemo. * V listih smo čitali da je od- j delel^ domačinov v Etiopiji po- j gnal v beg nekaj polkov italijanskih vojakov in da so Etiop-ci zajeli veliko število ujetnikov. To kaže, da so Etiopci ne samo hrabri vojaki, ampak tudi dobri tekači, sicer Italijanov ne bi bili dohiteli. * V začetku vojne na Grškem so se bili Italijani zagnali par milj v Grčijo, toda Grki so jih v nekaj dneh pognali ne samo z grškega ozemlja, ampak še daleč v Albanijo. To je dalo Angležem povod za vpeljavo novega plesa, ki se imenuje Tuscana. Pri tein plesu stopata plesalca en korak naprej in tri korake nazaj. * Ameriški Indijanci so bili že od nekdaj lovci in so do neke mere še danes. Bivolov sicer ne lovijo, ker jih ni več nikjer, razen v zaščitenih parkih in rezervacijah, zato jim pa prav pride druga divjačina. Floridski Indijanci iz rodu Seminolov zadnje čase pridno lovijo žabe, ker imajo žabji kraki dobre cene v floridskih hotelih. Bogati bledolič-niki, ki tam zimujejo, so vsi divji na slastne žabje krake in dajo rdečekožcem zaslužiti lepe denarje. Lov na žabe ni tako junaški kot je bil lov na bivole, toda lov je vseeno in izplača se. j t : zavedajte se te dolžnosti stoodstotno. Imejte v sebi za vest, da greste v kampanjo s poštenim in odkritim na menom, ki je povezan z odkritosrčno željo in bratske voljo. Bodite prijazni napram vsakemu, čuvajte se ir I pazite, da ne boste žalili osebnega prepričanja, kajti našž Ameriška bratska zveza je izključno bratska in podporna organizacija. V tem duhu in razpoloženju pojdite na delo.

AMPLIFYING THE VOICE OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBERS Attention Center Ramblers It was decided at the last meeting held February 9, to have our regular monthly meetings changed from the second Sunday of each month to the third Sunday in order to avoid confusion; there being so many other meetings held on the second'Sunday. The time remains unchanged. Here’s hoping that all of you will attend the next regular meeting on March 16, at 2:30 p. m. at the Slovene Hall. Our bowling team is improving right along, and hopes to be in top form for the tournament in Pittsburgh this year. In the last match game with the Cla-ridge girls teams, (champions of their district) our girls lost by a total of about 85 pins. Compared to the margin by which we lost the first match game to them, this is quite an improvement. Several Center Rambler teams bowl regularly at the Center Bowling Alleys every Tuesday evening at 7:30 p. m. All you girls who are looking forward to bowling in the tournament had better join in and practice now. We would like to take advantage of having one team entered free, you know, so come down to the bowling alleys and sign up? You have only one month in which to practice now, so don’t waste any more time. Dora Peternel, Sec’y 221 ‘Itchy” Fish i1 “Itchy athletic event of the year. This! week, Bro. Louis Polaski, secretary of the tournament and sec- j retary of Lodge 205 in Canon-burg is bringing to you hiš resume of what to expect. Follows his newsy story. — No doubt you have read in a recent issue of Nova Doba the announcement made by the tournament chairman, Lawrence Boberg, of the date, (April 19 and 20) and site, (Lawrence Recreation Alleys in Pittsburgh) of the “dux” tournament sponsored by our New Name organization—the American Fraternal Union. The committee pro mised (with your help, of course) to make this the biggest and best tournament held by our AFU organization, ^efore I go any further, let’s take a look into what the committee has in store for you. First—In other years there were only three team prizes to shoot at, but now, a fourth team prize has been added to the list. Second—The Ladies’ prizes will be the same as the men’s. Third—Lodges entering more than one team, can enter one team (team event only) free of charge. Fourth—The entry fee has been slashed to 50 cents per person for ea'ch event. Fifth—Very useful and appropriate souvenirs (advertising our new name organization — The American Fraternal Union) will be given to each and every entrant. Sixth—A new trophy will be awarded the winning' team. Seventh—A special “dux-pin” match (three-game total); featuring the two past winners, St. Stephen’s Lodge No. 26 and St. Michael’s Lodge No. 40—Pittsburgh and Claridge, respectively, for the permanent possession of the plaque now in the trophy case of Lodge 40, is scheduled. This match game—a climax to our tournament—will be free of charge to participating teams and spectators. Last,, but not least—After all the pin-battering is over, and you have worked up an enormous appetite (I know I do aft- er bowling) a delicious fresh ham supper will be served with all the trimmings, under the competent and excellent direction of Mrs. Mary L. Bodack and Paul Khin. Mrs. Mary L. Bodack Pictured is Mrs. Mary L. Bodack, secretary of Lodge 182, AFU of Pittsburgh, Pa., who is general banquet chairman at the Seventh Annual National Duckpin Tournament which takes place in Pittsburgh, April 19 and 20. Mrs. Bodack has a reputation with efficient committees in preparing delicious and successful banquets in the past. Paul Klun, is the assistant banquet chairman. *.* *Y* # This meal will set you back only 50 cents per plate and the. amount can be sent in with your entry fee. ALL LODGES THAT ARE GOING TO TAKE PART IN THE TOURNAMENT ANI) ALSO HAVE SUPPER, ARE URGED TO CONTACT AND NOTIFY THE CHAIRMAN NOT LATER THAN APRIL \ 12th, LISTING THE NUMBER OF BOWLERS WHO WILL i EA T SO THA T THE COMMITTEE IN CHARGE CAN BE PREPARED AND NOT \CAUGHT SHORT-HANDED. I > 9 There you have it, AFU members. If that isn’t a seven-star program, than I miss rriy guess. Your sincere cooperation is all that is needed to put this affair over in a gigantic way. What do you say! Let’s all put a big large circle around April 119th and 20th, and keep this date in mind, for I’m quite sure | you’ll never regret taking part Un this affaif 41s all good and true members of the AFU should do. (Continued on page 6) How Are You Progressing? Our pace-setting New Name campaign is only a ftonth old and already there is a long list of candidates wish to become delegates. These are listed in the ttome Office of our American Fraternal Union, where °Ur Supreme Secretary Bro. Anton Zbasnik, keeps achate tab of each and everyone marking their progress Stol the end—a very happy end which results in the °urth Juvenile Convention at Ely, Minnesota in August. ■ , So impressive is the start of the campaign, that it “Ppears very likely 1941 will see the greatest number of Juvenile and honorary delegates attending this well-liked Juvenile convention since its inception in 1935. , Already there are four juvenile delegates and one honorary delegate—all these from Lodge No. 1—who I ,ftls year, and last, started the ball rolling! More candi-,^es are being entered; more delegates are being quali-each week. Isn’t this a wonderful example for our vv name—the American Fraternal Union? .In the Campaigns of 1935, 1937, 1939, and 1940, Ratifying results were always obtained. These campaigns » au iaunched under our former name, and good J^lts were obtained even though many people con-‘Qered the old name an obstacle, especially when trying 0 enroll new members of other nationalities or creeds. , Our new name—the American Fraternal Union—-is Ration for every person in these United States to . Very shortly in this paper will be printed an article ■to'ch was featured in a popular magazine news section, j?sMbuted with many of the Sunday editions of papers W'oughout the United States. The article is appropriate-y titled: “Not They—But We.” which is an emphatic xarnpie of conditions in this country as they are today. ■ ■hJ^ing example of true Americanism and Fraternalism! fif Urge you all to read it carefully, and we feel confront that it will inspire your idealism in these United ates and your American Fraternal Union—an organiza-that is proud of our America, proud to work and live Jfhin its boundaries and it’s strong and rugged Con- \ Mn. li. jf ; ;Our older members have felt this inevitable patriotic _e6ring emerge to the front as the rest of the world was ^^Pped in the chaos of dictators and infernal war.

Today, of the Supreme Board members, one less than to/k^re American-born of Yugoslav parentage; one came a, this country at a tender, e^,rly age. The remainder are good citizens of the United States of America! j , With such leaders including similar hardworking g .Se officers and members, all bound together in the th ^.°f America and the American Fraternal Union, (.•ere is no end to the progress—not only of our organiza-- ^"-but of our people! j _ In campaigning for new members, it would be well lJ.every candidate to bring these facts to the front; fin i Ve *n them for they are a part of you; and you will j nc* that to be a qualified regular or honorary delegate ^t such a difficult task after all. jj, Prospective members like our new name; You will £e ®°Ur new name; We all like our new name!

THE MISSOURI EAGLES St. Louis, Mo. — The former St. Aloysius lodge is now known as the Missouri Eagles. How do you like it? Well, personally I think it’s pretty swell. With this name, our new by-laws, and the new name campaign, what could stop us from prospering? So members let’s get busy and take advantage of these opportunities. The Missouri Eagles are looking forward to doing some great things and I know they will be done but, of course, it will take some time. In my last article I said the weather in St. Louis was so warm that you could wear your spring coats, well it seems that the weather man must /have read my article and changed the weather because it has been very cold ever since. In St. Louis we have a Slovenian Singing Society “Zvon.” It was organized about two years ago and now it is ready to show what it has accomplished. On April 19, it is going to sponsor a play namely “Kupljeni ženin.” The title suggests a good play and it isn’t misleading because it has a very interesting story in it. It Jtakes place in Europe. The play will be followed by a dance. So everyone carf see that they will be missing a good time if they do not attend so mark the 19th of April as a date that cannot be broken but one which you will spend at the Slovenian Hall. Several of the Missouri Eagles are also members of the “Zvon.” At our last meeting Frank I Kodelja and Mary Beg were | elected as committee for the i Joint Picnic that is to be re-! peated again this summer. I know everyone who attended the last picnic had an enjoy-| able time and are looking forward to having it repeated so I know it will be a much bigger success. Our next meeting will be held the 9th of March. After the regular meeting, about 5 o’clock, a special meeting will be held for the younger members at which time we will elect our officers and make plans for our club so that we will have many enjoyable times and also strive I to interest people who are not yet members to become one of us. I will close my article looking forward to Sunday, March 9th, when I will see each member of the Missouri Eagles at the Slovenian Hall attending the ' meeting, especially the younger I members. i ' • •. Emily Kodelja, Sec’y DUCKPIN TOURNEY NEWS Lodge 88 %eady for Campaign; Meffl ] bers Urged to Pay Dues on Time ■b. RAMBLING CHATTER By Big Start Progar Straabne, Pa. — The other day, as I chanced to be in one of the local stores, a fair customer walked up to the tobacco counter. The clerk looked up and asked, “What’s yours please?” “Oh, a cartoon of cigarettes I suppose,” said the customer. “What kind? Luckies?” “It doesn’t make any difference,” replied the customer. “My husband is not particular.” This set the Rambler to wondering. Just how many smokers are there that don’t care what they smoke. But they should. They should all care. It should make a difference one way or another. There is a difference in all brands and all smokers should find that difference and suit it to their individual tastes. And as the Rambler’s mind bore on this subject, instinctively, just as naturally as one walks or talks, he began to wonder about the AFU members in general. A mental interview took place where some of the AFU members were asked just what year they would prefer in the AFU calendar. As the customer answered the clerk, so did many of the AFU members reply. “Oh, it makes no difference.” BUT IT SHOULD. It should make a world of difference. For the years in the SSCU calendar are just like the cigarettes, they have their differences and the members should find the differences and suit their plans. JUST WHO ARE YOU? Are you the one that finds the year 1941 no different from the past years, especially the years that found AFU vacations completely absent? Can you be the Johnny or the Mary that sees no opportunities in the 1941 AFU year? Well then, brother, and you too, sister, be true to yourself. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. It is so great that every member should suddenly become very particular a n d choosey and pick this year as their year. Every member should recognize that this is the year for opportunities and make up their minds that they WILL take adyantage of it. WHYt? Where else can you travel expense free, enjoy a carefree vacation and at the same time, GET PAID TO ENJOY THIS VACATION? Don’t try to find another place for it is impossible. This is a feature that only AFU members may participate in. It is a feature that only you are fortunate enough to have at your fingertips so for your sake, Johnny and Helen, don’t let it slip away. A. F. U. Vacation Just what is the vacation in store for you? Brother let me tell you something. Have you read the old fable of Cinderella? You have? Then you can experience every thrill, every happy moment that Cinderella did, only yours will last for a week, seven days not just a few hours. You will find that the AFU vacation in the official vacation city, Ely, Minnesota, is a little short of heaven. The climate of the vast North timberlands will make you shout. You will not care to sleep for things, have to be done and the time is too short to do it in. You will cry “this is living” as the vacation committee plans your days. Happiness will change to radiance with the brilliance of the morning sun and nothing, not even the breaking of a shoe string in a hurried moment will stir your anger for it is completely out of the picture in the vacation city. You will be in a world apart, living each breathless moment hoping, hoping that it could last eternally, with no thought of the strange world that you call your home city. It will be an onslaught of happiness that will make you cry for more, more, MORE. But mind you, there will be heart breaks too. But this comes as the climax. For you will not want to leavč. You will not care to start that return home journey when the whistle blows. For it means leaving a haven of happiness to return to the troubled world that you so fortunately escaped from for a too short time. It will bring tears for the Rambler saw this happen. He knows. For he came, he saw and he was completely and positively conquered. Get Busy Today. So there is the truth Jackie and Sue. You can be the Cinderella if you choose to. There are two already and many more will follow the footsteps of Robert and Gilbert Zbasnik. WHY NOT YOU? Now, when you come to think of it, taking advantage of the AFU vacation is as easy as clapping your hands. Sure it is. Just look at what you have to sell to enjoy a trip to the world’s only heaven The American Fraternal Union protection. It’s simple to sell. So, lets get out today and spread the gospel of the AFU. But remember this. The AFU insurance is one that every family should carry apd one that every family can afford. So let’s go to town and be able to say in a few weeks that I only have a few more to go to qualify. It is the natural thing About This And That By Elsie M. Desmond Cleveland, O. — Welcome back to the pages of the Nova Doba, Big Stan. It was very nice seeing your articles in print again. Are you going to continue having more articles in? We all hope so. Ely, Minnesota is certainly going to town on the campaign. Already, four delegates have qualified for the Fourth Juvenile Convention to be held in Ely. The two latest delegates are two popular Misses for the American Fraternal Union and for the pages of the Juvenile section, namely; Florence D. Startz and Margaret M. Startz. Gilbert and Robert Zbasnik, sons of the supreme secretary, Mr. Anton Zbasnik were the first to qualify. Who will be next? We all wonder. But get right to work, candidates, if you really want to be a delegate, you’ll be able to make the grade by just working hard. It would be nice to hear a report from the lodges and who their candidates are. What about it? Edward Hrvatin and yours truly are candidat-ing from Ilirska Vila, No. 173, AFU. Who are some of the other candidates? We’d all like to know. ’Twas rumoreti that a few members of the Collinwood Booster lodge attended the meeting. What was wrong members? Yet you had as your guest, Little Stan and I heard that he really enjoyed being with the few members that were present. Mrs. Alice Laurich and her hus-hand, Ham were present and according to Alice’s report, she was very tired the next day at work. What time did you say you came home with the members, Alice? (Hm .. .Hmmm...) The next meeting will be held on March 21st at the Laurich’s home again. How many members will attend ? Hope there will be more than at the last meeting. Also heard that Stan might come to the meeting again, /so members of Boosters why not show him that you can really have a big attendance. As I am thinking of attending the Duckpin Tournament to be held in Pittsburgh, Pa., I would like to know how many other Clevelanders are also thinking about going. I would like to know. So please write to to do. But will you? You should! Stan Progar the Nova Doba in your own article—may be short or long and tell all about it. Don’t forget to attend the Ohio Federation meeting for all representatives on April 6, at the Slovene National Home. To Joe Matkovich, Jr.: Your article was very interesting. “It should be known to the members that if you all want the bowling tournament to go over big we all must cooperate and pitch together,” said Joe. And this is very true. Fill out your entry blanks as soon as your team receives them. Don’t delay till the last minute. I’m sure Joe and Bruno Canalas will carry on about the news of the tournament very well and they’ll also give us last minute notes. (Oh, I do hope I’ll be able to attend (Continued on page 7) Mrs. Charles Prettol Formerly Miss Jennie Logar of Lodge 233, Ludlow, Colorado, she is now Mrs. Charles Prettol, same lodge and city. She was a delegate to the Juvenile Convention in 1939. She is about to step into the adult department, and this will again introduce her to our members and readers. Having her picture on file, the editorial staff welcomes Mrs. Prettol to the adult department. From last week’s article in the Juvenile section, we print the following excerpt from Mrs. Prettol’s letter: “All the luck in the world to the delegates of the Fourth Juvenile Convention, and I hope you get many more new members. If you know what fun it is to get a trip to Ely, Minn., I’m sure you’ll try very hard for this honor. I, too, am trying hard to get new members.” Pittsburgh, Pa.—By now most lodges should have received tourney data & entry blanks for the 1941 Duckpin tourney. If I have skipped any interested lodge, it was purely an oversight and not a willful omission and I hope to be pardoned, as anyone knows it is a large order to get out over a hundred letters at one time and it is very easy to miss one or the other. We have gone to the extra trouble of mailing the instructions in the Slovene language so that the older folks who do not readily understand English may have full details of the tournament. A special vote of thanks is due our Supreme President, Mr. Rogelj, for his kind cooperation in translating the instructions. All who wish to receive extra enry blanks, and any who may have been missed my get same by writing to L. P. Boberg, 5421 Carnegie Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa., and they will be forwarded by return mail. Already one lodge has returned its entries; who will be next? Lodge No. 40 informs me by postcard, that they will be the permanent possessor of the plaque, what say you lodge No. 26? The committee is working constantly and plans to have all in readiness by April 1st so as to leave the final few days open to prepare score sheets and arrange a possible schedule. We would appreciate your cooperation in getting your entries in early; and remember the banquet reservations must also be sent in as part of the entry in order to let co-chairman Klun and Mary Bodack know how many to prepare for and plan a real treat. When you stop to think that the three events and the banquet cost only $2.00 which is between 25c and 55c less than the cost of the three events alone last year, you will readily see that the committee has really done some intent studying and economizing and all we ask is EARLY returns of your entries and fees. As already announced the dinner will be a real home cooked fresh ham (roast pork) with all the trim-min’s. * Any lodges who will find it convenient to roll off their singles and doubles on Sat. afternoon or evening will please let me know that I may be able to arrange for them. According to present information, our star juvenile reporter, Elsie Desmond, plans to be present, and we all know she does a. swell job of reporting when given something to write about; so let’s turn out big, and give her a real assignment. Attend your March lodge meeting, turn in your names and have your secretary |)r Athletic Supervisor mail them in; so that this tourney will be the largest in the history of our organization’s duckpin tournaments, which will be the first get-together of AFU members this year to be followed in May by the Tenpin tornament at Indianapolis and then at Ely, in August where we will celebrate the most successful membership drive—the NEW NAME Campaign. Come and again meet your friends, make new friends, and get acquainted with the candidates for delegate to the fourth juvenile convention. A little secret, Little Stan, our new English Editor and Athletic Commissioner will be here to give you all the latest “dope” on the campaign. Keep watching the Nova Doba, for subsequent editions will Bro. Anton Pirc Passes Away Roundup, Mont. — I would like to notify the members of Lodge 88, AFU that on Feb. 4, Bro. Pirc passed away. He was born in Vrh, near Trebnje at Dolenjsko, and came to the United States, settling in Denver, Colo., in 1901. Deceased lived in Denver for one year, then moved to Aldridge, Montana, where he joined what was then Lodge 17, then SSCU. He was employed in the coal mines in this region. He came to Roundup and made his home here for 30 years, working as a coal miner. During the last five years before his death, Bro. Pirc lived in Billings, Montana—50 miles from Roundup. There he settled, hoping to make a better living. Followed sickness which resulted in his death. He was ill for two years suffering with cancer in the lungs. This illness resulted in his death, which came while he was confined to a sanitarium at Deer Lodge, Montana. The deceased was fine, well-behaved, and loved by all who knew him. This was shown at his burial rites which were attended by all his friends, lodge members and members of his family. Many were the beautiful floral offerings and wreaths. So, too, did Lodge 88 obtain for his funeral a wreath, and all paid last respects to our good member. Many of our members participated in the funeral services and offered sincere sympathies to the bereaved survivors, who in turn thanked all their fine friends for their aid afnd assistance which helped them through this sorrowful occurrence. •Burial rites were conducted from the Catholic church and interment was at Mountain View near Billings. Last rites for Lodge 88, AFU were read by Mrs. Katherine Penica, secretary. Pali-bearers were: Math Penica, Joe Nose, John Kosak, Sr., John Kosak, Jr., Rudolph and Leo Planinšek. Survivors are: his wife, Mary Pirc, four sons, Tony, Math, Frank and Joe; two daughters, Mary and Violet; a brother’ Frank, believed residing somewhere in Alberta, Canada; a brother, Joseph, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Zupancich and Mrs. Josephine Hampton, all of Grass Valley, California. May the deceased rest in peace and his name cherished. Weather We are enjoying a mild winter this year. The weather is like April. Evenings are cold. Everywhere it appears that perhaps the hard winter will come the latter part of February or in March. Coal miners would appreciate a colder winter. Because when it is cold, more coal is sold, and there is more work and wages for the miners. In the warm weather, not much coal is used. New Name Campaign I noticed in Nova Doba that the Supreme Board has launched another national membership drive which will wind up with the Fourth Juvenile Convention in August. This means that I will again go out and work to get new members. I hope now that our organization has such a nice, fitting, and pleasant sounding name, it will be much easier to campaign for new members. Certain it is that the new name will not be an obstacle in the campaign. [ Our new calendars are traj beautiful and we are all "'e*‘ satisfied with them.

This event will definitely take place. From the receipts ,it is hoped the lodge treasury will benefit with much-needed additional funds. This was decided at a meeting of the lodge held Feb. 16th. / would like to urge all members to attend the next meeting, March 16th, where we will further plans and select,the day and month for the picnic. It would be wonderful if all I members would attend meetings j once each month. Each member ; could easily sacrifice one hour j each month for their lodge and j organization, especially now j that our New Name Campaign | which precedes the Fourth Ju-| venile Convention is underway. Our lodge has always made a fine showing in past campaigns, and that is why I hope we maintain our fine standing in this campaign. We must all work together to accomplish this end. Only officers of the lodge cannot do this alone. If each member would obtain one new member for the adult department and one for the juvenile department, our showing in the campaign would be very successful and impressive, and we would be given fine recogni- j tion. ABOUT THIS AND THAT Continued from page 6) construct a new and larger Home in Barberton, he said. tf V * Back to the home to pick up Mrs. Opeka and Betty, and ready to go back to Cleveland. | Stopped at a clubhouse where met Jake Novak’s dad. Stopped in Akron at the Slovene home to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Martin Bolha and son, Stan. Understand he is quite an athlete. Promised to send all re-i gards from these fine people to Clevelandites. Then on to Cleveland. Pulled in at National Home on Holmes. Visited with the boys — Shorty, Patsy, Marty, Zemo Zadeli, then to/the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Krall. * * # Here we visited for sometime. Mr. and Mrs. Krall made things exceptionally comfortable. Little Emily, young daughter of the ‘Kralls, and Betty Opeka, got along beautifully. First time Little Stan tasted oysters—and they were delicious. They were fried. Spent a lovely time at the Kralls. But Jake and Johnny had to work the next day—so it ment get set to go back. Somewhere on the lakeshore drive missed the Novak machine—did not get a chance to thank Mr. and Mrs. Opeka and Jake for their big part in making Little Stan’s week-end a really swell one. Thanks to all! * * * Got to the National Home in Cleveland in the midst of cele-; oration. The occasion was Mr. S John Lube’s, impressive concert : which was described by even the i most critical as being the finest j of the season. Bouquets to you | Mr. Lube, and to your -charm-1 ling wife and your iniimerable ! friends who ' helped ' you along j the road to success. Poet Ivan Zorman, who accompanied Mr. Lube, and Judge Frank Lausche I were, present on the auspicious i occasion; and saw the news- • paper photographers around. To music by Lou Trebar the eve- 1 ning concluded with great fes-| tivity—and so it is this week ’ with your scribe ... .j , * * * For the first time since coming to Cleveland, Little Stan ran into Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Perdan. The meeting was at Slo-| vene Workmen s Home on Waterloo Road, where your scribe intended to eat a Klobase sand-' wich prepared by Mrs. Tolar, a I very nice lady. Previously sat j with John Zaic, Joe Godec, Mr. 1 Tolar, and another fellow—can’t ; quite remember his name. Mr. ! Zaic 'and Little Stan had a lot in common. They both came ' | from Ely, Minn. Later met Mrs. II Perdan and her lady friends. ■ Remembered that Mike Evono-: chek at Ely wanted to be re-) j membered to these people, and fjso did the honors—which were 2 returned. ■ ? > \ tf tf Wanted to see Johnny Lunka, secretary for Betsy Ross and some of the boys the next evening, same place. Johnny hit a 600 series in league competition bowling with SWH team. | Adolph Perdan bowls with him I along with another- Betsy Ross’-er—darned if this isn’t a bad j day for remembering names! For rolling a 600 score, Johnny I got a 32-ounce glass of beer! S • a- -Y. * After the series watched them ! play balinea for a while. Music I attracted, and in a nearby room | was a pre-Lenten party in full ! swing. Met Phil Sirca at the ! alleys—hadn’t seen him in a i long time, and it was nice renewing acquaintances. He is married now, has a charming i wife, a cozy home, which we visited, Phil is secretary of the league in SWH, and plays beautiful music on the accordion. Am hoping that many Clevelanders will make the trip, especially Little Stan, our Supreme President Janko N. Rogelj, and our editor-manager, Bro. Anton Terbovec. Don’t forget the date—April 19 and 20th in Pittsburgh, Pa.! Come one! Come all! The more | the merrier! What more can I say or offer? You name it—but please fill out those entry blanks and forward them as soon as possible to the committee. This ' way we can have all teams lined up in good order and ready to go, and will avoid that common last minute rush which all hard-working committees dread. The deadline is April 12 for the bowling entries! Also make banquet reservations at the same time. State the number,— so if you should happen to go away hungry—don’t say we didn’t warn you! Hoping to see many of my AFU friends in Pittsburgh, on April 19 and 20, and also hoping to make new friends for the American Fraternal Union. This is accomplished directly around good friends and good sportsmen! Louis Polaski, secretary 205, AFU and tournament committee secretary. the bowling affair too.)

Ham Laurich also came over with them. The boys bowled! stopped at Four Points and then to my home. Heard from Ed that Honorable John is about to be drafted and the fellas of the town are saying: “That’s the .best news we’ve heard in twenty-three years.” All kidding aside, it sure was nice of the fellas to stop and see an old friend. And Ed promised me he’d come*up in April with his “jollop-eee." Didn’t you, Ed? You’d better remember that ’cause I won’t forget. Well, so long faithful readers.

Very pleasing and nice. Met Frank Zalar and in-law Mary Ludvick, a pretty darkhaired brunette who just recently came from Europe. Talks English a little, but understands the language better than she speaks it. Seems shy. Frank Zalar—who was married some time ago—and it wasn’t even mentioned in the papers—is the proud papa of st bouncing baby boy. Is he proud! Imagine his wife must be too! After1 talking things over in the SWH, accepted Phil Sirca’s invitation to come cJver the house to visit. So the entire group spent a nice evening. John Lunka and Little Stan finished off by rolling two games. One of the subjects discussed was our American Fraternal Union’s New Name . Campaign. (Continued from page 5) By eight-thirty, the cars rolled into Barberton. — but it appeared Marty’s gang was there first. Johnny Opeka, our genial host, and his. boys were really hitting the maples in a warmup. Some of the boys stopped at the National Home to stretch before going to the alleys. Marty, Ikey, and Stan got there just as the other boys were leaving for the alleys. Met Mr. Ujcic, the bartender who kept business pretty well under control. * * x Lining up at the alleys, looked up and down the gallery to see many AFU members in attendance. Frank Smerdel, president; Alice Zalar, secretary, her mother, Mrs. Johnny Opeka, John Jance, recording secretary; Marjorie Okolish, the; Klancers, the Markun’s — all one really swell group. Johnny Opeka called Little Stan over, and after dishing out some refreshments, gave him a job posting scores! ¥ -Y- ¥ Then the trundling started! Those pins were literally wrapped up and thrown into the pit, by perfectly thrown balls. Some of the boys got splits; some made difficult shots; and some really got all there was to get . when it comes to bowling. —: i Example: J. P. Morgan on al-!’ leys 1 and 2. Heh Heh. Between frarhes, and while all this was ; going on Little Stan looked around, saw a cute juvenile with golden locks sitting with Mrs. Zalar.

After the first game was rolled and the scores totaled, the; Jefferson Collegians ded the; Claridg^team by one stick. The • second game was rolled, and: totals found Canonsburg increasing their total pin lead by i seven more pins—taking an j eight pin lead going into tlifc j final game of the series. What a game!—Those Jeffer-. son Collegians are offering us ; some stiff opposition! With the pressure on in the third game, the Claridge team came thru, piled up a big score to win the match in total pins by 101. Taking honors for the day was Steve Lombardi, with games of 256, 172 and 164 for a 592 total—good enough in any-! body’s league. For Claridge, A.

The Claridge boys wish to express themselves in saying that we enjoy much in being able to roll these matches with the Jefferson Collegians, and here’s hoping that we can get together next season, and many seasons to come.

Bolj zaposleni so pa izučeni delavci. Splošno znano je, da tudi delavci v Fordovi tovarni iščejo svoje pravice, in Ford se je toliko podal vladnemu delavskemu odboru, da je dal nalepiti napise z~ obvestilom, da se njegovi delavci lahko organizirajo, v kateri organizaciji hočejo. Tako je Upanje, da bodo delavci izrabili priliko in še tisti vstopili v unijo, ki so se dosedaj bali, da izgubijo delo. V nedeljo 9. marca bo gostovala v Detroitu v S. D. Domu na j Livernois Avenue Cankarjeva ustanova z izbranim programom. Igrali bodo Molkovo humoristično satiro “Nevtralni Amor.” Vsi igralci in pevci bodo iz Clevelanda. Kdor je imel kdaj priliko prisostvovati kaki igri v Clevelandu, mi po potrdil, da se nam bo nudil izreden uži-' tek, ako gremo 9. marca v S. D. Dom. Začetek je določen za 2.30 popoldne. S Cankarjevo ustanovo sodelujejo S. D. Dom ter pevska in podporna društva. Ker je čisti dobiček namenjen izobrazbi, upam, da bomo napolnili S. D. Dom do zadnjega kotička. To bo igralcem in pevcem edino plačilo za njihov trud. Vstopnice k tej .prireditvi so v predprodaji po 50 centov, pri vratih pa bodo po 60 centov. Dne 23. februarja je bilo po-ročano na seji S. N. Doma na John R., da se je korporacija reorganizirala in da so delnice spet naprodaj. Organizacija S. N. Dom je bila inkorporirana za $10,000. Ker se pa sedaj deluje, da bi se zgradilo novi Dom na stavbišču poleg sedanjega, ker sedanji nikakor ne odgovarja našim potrebam, so delničarji naročili odboru, naj organizacijo'inkorporira za večjb vsoto. Drugače nam ni dovoljeno prodajati delnic, dasi je vrednost večja od dosedanje inkor-poracije. Naše društvo Triglav, št. 144 Ameriške bratske zveze je tudi delničar S. N. Doma, zato kot zastopnica pri Domu sporočam članom in članicam, da kdor želi kupiti delnico, jo dobi pri tajniku Doma. Njegov naslov je: John Janc, 17536 J%hn R. St., Detroit, Mich. Dom lepo napreduje in, če bomo delali roko v roki, bomo postavili stavbo, ki bo odgovarjala vsem potrebam, tudi mladini za igre, katere žele. Morda pa prinesejo od vojakov druge ideje. Stric Sam jih kliče počasi enega ysa drugim, tudi iz naših vrst. Mary Bernick, članica društva št. 144 ABZ. Finleyville, Fa. — Vzrok, da se oglašam, je, ker se je v moje zadnje poročilo o pokojni članici Ani Florjančič, vrinila nekaka pomota. Pokojna Ana Florjančič, članica društva Sv. Frančiška, št. 148 ABZ, je umrla 7. februarja 1941, stara 49 let in 9 dni. Njeno dekliško ime je bilo Marela. Rojena je bila \ Blagovici, Gornja Loka pri Kamniku. V Ameriki je bivala 30 let. Podlegla je enomesečni težki bolezni po težki operaciji v canonsburški bolnišnici. Pogreb se je vršil jao cerkvenih obredih na pokopališče St. Mary v Monangahela, Pa. Pokojnica je tudi spadala k društvu št. 90 SNPJ. Da je bila priljubljena med narodom, je pokazal njen pogreb. Njen soprog Max Florjančič se želi javno zahvaliti društvu Sv. Frančiška, št. 148 ABZ, in društvu Rdeči prapor, ^t. 90 SNPJ, za vso naklonjenost in dr ovane vence, želi se tudi zahvaliti predsedniku društva št. 148 ABZ, Franku PerniŠku, za poslovilni govor ob grobu. Dalje se želi zahvaliti vsem darovalcem vencev in vsem drugim, ki so mu tekom bolezni in ob smrti pokojnice na kakršen ko- 1 bila navedena imena. Prav bi bilo, da se tista imena navedejo, ako so kakšna. Meni se zdi, da je bolj važno, da je pri reviziji navzoč glavni blagajnik, kakor | pa da pride na zborovanje šest glavnih podpredsednikov. Ako se hoče varčevati, naj se varčuje ! povsod, ne pa samo pri bolniški 1 podpori in pri glavnem blagajniku. Blagajnik je vendar pod varščino in odgovoren za denarni promet, pa da ne bi smel biti navzoč pri reviziji, da se nekaj prihrani pri dnevnicah. Ne vem, kako naj to razumem. Po sklepu zadnje društvene seje se vrši prihodnja redna seja društva Danica, št, 124 ABZ, 13. marca ob 7. uri zvečer. Ker , bo ta seja zelo važna, je dolžnost vsakega člana,'da se iste j gotovo udeleži. Za po seji bomo imeli nekaj okrepčil. Na to sejo vabimo tudi zastopnike federacij od št. 3 in št. 130, da se kaj pogovorimo za korist naše Ameriške bratske zveze. Bratski pozdrav! Frank Struna, Sr., podpredsednik društva št. 124 ABZ. li način izkazali sožalje, pomoč in naklonjenost. Za pokojnico žalujejo: Mas j Florjančič, soprog, ena hčer in idva sina v Venetia, Pa., ena ! sestra v Peru, 111., in dva brata v starem kraju. Naj bo pokojni sosestri ohra-Jnjen blag spomin, žalujočim j ostalim pa bodi izraženo iskreno sožalje! Frank Pernishek, preds. društva št. 148 ABZ, ________________ Cleveland, O. — Detroitčani in okoličani! V nedeljo 9. mar-: ca gostuje Cankarjeva ustanova v dvorani Delavskega doma v Detroitu. Podali bomo izredno lep varietni program. Najprvo bomo igrali Molkovo satiro “Nevtralni Amor,” v kateri ima glavno vlogo naš neprekosljiv “komedijant” Anton Epich. Poleg njega nastopijo v igri Josephine Turk in Tony Perušek, oba poznana pevca pevskega zbora Zarje; nadalje Louis Zorko, John Cech in pisec. Igro re-žisira Louis Kaferle. V drugem delu programa pa nastopita detroitska pevska zbora “Svoboda” in “Naprej” in nato pevci Glasbene matice, in sicer v solo-spevih duetih in kvartetu. Ti pevci so naše najboljše metropolske moči. Saj ste gotovo že večkrat slišali o njih. Tončka Simčičeva, soprano, Louis Belle, tenor, Frank Plut, bariton, John Nosan, bas in John Lube, bas. Brez pretiravanja, program bo lep, zato pridite vsi ob treh v Delavski dom na Livernois Ave. Tudi rojaki iz Toleda naj pridejo. Tam bomo prav gotovo videli tudi Štolfova iz Toleda, saj ona dva često obiščeta celo clevelandske priredbe. Zadnjič sem skušal pregovoriti tudi nekatere či-kažane, da bi prišli 9. marca v Detroit. Morebiti pridejo. Mogoče pa bo kaj skupaj organiziral Mike. Iz Clevelanda nas pride natlačen bus. ., Prireditev se vrši pod pokroviteljstvom Delavskega doma in s kooperacijo naprednih detroitskih društev. Po predstavi se vrši ples in prosta zabava. Torej na prav gotovo svidenje! Milan Medvešek LaJSalle, III. — Spodaj podpisani sem član ABZ že čez 30 let, in včlanjena je tudi vsa moja družina, 7 v odraslem in 4 v mladinskem oddelku. Skušal sem biti vedno aktiven za organizacijo. Nisem bil delegat na nobeni konVenciji, toda z zaključki konvencij sem bil vedno zadovoljen do 16. konvencije. Zaključki 16. konvencije pa se mi ne dopadejo, o?iroma nekaj točk se mi zdi, da so v škodo članstvu in ABZ. Tiste točke je že omenil predsednik društva št. 124 ABZ, in po mojem mnenju bo treba, da jih spremenimo, kakor hitro bo mogoče. Posebno točke zaradi bolniške podpore. Na primer, ako bi bil kak član bolan, kakor sem bil jaz leta 1940, cele štiri mesece, bi dobil le za 28 dni podporo; jaz sem jo po starih pravilih dobil za ves čas. Zato ie potrebno, da se ta točka spremeni. Ako si operiran, dobiš po sedanjem sistemu tistih 28 dolarjev podpore, in tako za razne druge bolezni je odmerek isti za stare in za mlade. Mlad član, ki je bil operiran za slepiča, bo morda res ozdravil v 28 dneh. pri starejših članih pa zdravljenje navadno ne gre tako hitro. Treba je plačati zdravnika, zdravila in bolnišnico, in nastane vprašanje, kje vzeti, ako ni bolniške podpore. Tudi je vprašanje, kje vzeti za asesment. Meni se to ne zdi nikako bratstvo in ne po geslu: vsi za enega, eden za vse. To# je bolj podobno sistemu privatnih inšurancev, ki poslujejo le za profit, čital sem tudi zapisnik letnega zborovanja in v istem poročilo glavnega blagajnika, da je bilo odločeno, da njemu ni treba biti navzočemu pri reviziji knjig, z dodatkom, da je bilo glede tega nekaj oporekanja od nr »m m i 1 I f I vk « m /i I n m a« v <] a n • m ■ n Uniontoivn, Pa. — Na seji društva Sv. Roka, št. 55 ABZ, ki se je vršila 16. februarja, je bilo sklenjeno, da letos na vsak način priredimo en piknik, in sicer v proslavo 36-letnice dru štva in v proslavo novega imena organizacije. S piknikom upamo napraviti nekaj dobička za našo društveno blagajno, ki je take podpore hudo potrebna. Člane in članice našega društva prosim, da se kar mogoče polnoštevilno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila 16. marca, da bomo lažje ini v večje zadovoljstvo. izbrali mesec in dan za piknik. Seveda bi bilo želeti, da člani posečajo vse društvene seje, saj enkrat na mesec bi že smel vsak član žrtvovati uro' ali dve1 za svoje društva. Posebno še zdaj, ko imamo kampanjo “novega imena,” ki je predhodnica mladinske konvencije. Naše društvo se je 'še tekom vsake kampanje dobro izkazalo, zato upam, da tudi v tej kampanji ne bomo med zadnjimi. Seveda poprijeti moramo vsi člani in članice skupno. Sami uradniki ne zmorejo vsega. Če vsak pridobi enega novega člana v odrasli oddelek in enega novega v mladinski oddelek, se bo veliko poznalo. Noben član pa ni tako slab, da ne bi imel vsaj enega prijatelja na svetu. Pomnimo, da v našo organizacijo vstopi lahko vsaka oseba belega plemena, ki je zdrava in v pravi starosti, to brez ozira na narodnost, prepričanje itd. Pri društvu smo lahko vsi bratje in sestre, izven društva pa lčdiko vsak hodi svoja pota. Torej, bratje in sestre, stopimo vsi na delo, da tudi v tej kampanji doprinesemo svoj del za napredek naše Ameriške bratske zveze. Novi članj ne bodo sami prihajali v društvo, treba je, da stopimo za njimi ter jim povemo, prvič, kako potrebna je vsakemu dobra podporna organizacija, drugič pa, kako je naša Ameriška 'bratska zveza finančno trdna, točna v poslovanju, nestrankarska in med narodom priljubljena. Ako bomo na ta način postopali, bomo gotovo dosegli uspehe. In' po mojem mnenju je v sedanjih časih več prilik za pridobivanje novih članov kot jih je bilo prejšnja leta. Zato na delo! Pri tej priliki se želim tudi zahvaliti glavnim odbornikom za lepo kartico, katero so mi ob priliki letne seje poslali Iz Elya. Bratski pozdrav! Joseph Prah, tajnik društva št. 55 ABZ. St. Louis, Mo. — Bivše društvo Sv. Alojzija se zdaj imenuje Missouri Eagles, št. 87 ABZ. Kako vam novo ime ugaja? Po mojem mnenju je lepo. Z novim imenom organizacije, z novim imenom društva, z novimi pravili in s kampanjo novega imena: kdo nam more preprečiti uspeh in napredek! Zato, bratje 1 in sestre, izrabimo te prilike, ki se nam nudijo, za napredek društva in Ameriške bratske zveze. Naše društvo Missouri Eagles ima velike načrte in jih bo sčasoma tudi izvedlo. V mojem zadnjem poročilu ! sem omenila, da je vreme v St. Louisu tako gorko, da nam ni treba zimskih površnikov no^jti. Pa se mi zdi, da so vremenski bogovi čitali tisto poročilo, in so nam iz same nagajivosti poslali prav mrzlo vreme/ V St. Louisu imamo slovensko pevsko društvo “Zvon,” ki je bilo organizirano pred dvemi leti. Dne 19. aprila nas namerava razveseliti z lepo igro, imenovano “Kupljeni ženin.” Ime igre je primerno z ozirom na zanimivo vsebino iste. Po igri bo plesna zabava. Kdor se želi 19. aprila dobro zabavati, naj ne pozabi priti v Slovenski dom gledat “Kupljenega ženina.” Več članov društva Missouri Eagles spada tudi k pevskemu društvu “Zvon.” Letošnje poletje bodo slovenska društva v St. Louisu spet priredila skupni piknik kot že parkrat prej. Upamo, da bo piknik uspešen, kakor so bili prejšnji, ali pa še bolj. Od našega društva sta izbrana v pripravljalni odbor za ta skupni piknik Frank Kodelja in Mary Beg. Naša prihodnja seja se bo vršila v nedeljo 9. marca. Po redni seji, okrog 5. ure zvečer, 3e bo vršila izredna seja mlajših članov, na kateri bomo organizirali naš klub in izbrali odbornike za istega. Razume se, da se bomo bavili tudi z načrti, ki naj napravijo naš mladi klub dovolj popularen, da bo privabil v naše vrste mlade ljudi, ki dosedaj še niso naši člani. K sklepu še enkrat: ne pozabite priti vsi in vse na sejo v nedeljo 9. marca., Sestrski pozdrav in na svidenje! — Za društvo Missouri Eagleš,^ št. 87 ABZ: Emily Kodelja, tajnica. n ::.'1 iJ _________ Girard, O. — Naše društvo Lincoln, št. 108, ABŽ, Se se bilo odločilo, da na praznik Wash-ingtonovega rojstva, to je 22. februarja",‘priredi svojo prvo veselico pod novim imenom. Za Washingtonov rojstni dan bi se spodobilo spodobno vreme, saj je bil mož vendar prvi predsednik Amerike in sploh imeniten mož. Toda vremenski bogovi, namesto, da bi bili dostojnejši kot prejšnje dni, so plesali z vsemi vetrovi in nas obsipali s snežnim konfetijem, da ni bilo za nikamor. Držali smo se večinoma ves dan doma blizu gorkih peči. Prijatelj je menil, da za našo zabavo slabo kaže in da dan ne izgleda kot Washingtonov rojstni dan, ampak kot tipična pustna sobota. Ob pol sedmih grem, da vidim in pozven, če bo kaj z našo veselico ali ne. Srečam brata Franka Verbiča ,ki pripomni, da slabo izgleda. Bil je tudi malo v dvomu, če bo glavni predsednik J. N. Rogelj prišel, kot obljubljeno, ali ne, ker v takem vremenu se vsak nerad podaja z doma. Dostavil je, da je tudi z avtomobilom težko voziti, toda pojde vseeno pogledat na postajo. Drugi pa si razdelimo delo, da se vse pripravi za veselico. Mene so postavili k vratom. Mislim si, da ne bo kaj dosti dela, ker v takem vremenu ljudje ne bodo prišli. Toda pričeli so prihajati, sprva poredkoma, potem bolj pogosto. Vstopnice so šle izpod rok, da je bilo veselje. Bolj in bolj se je polnila dvorana in od bare se je že oglasilo petje. Dobro kaže, sem si mislil. Brat Turšič poizvaduje. č-3 jo glavni pr°d^dnik že prišel. Jaz mu od-rovorim, da če se je podal od t f doma, mora biti vsak čas tukaj. Ko se tako razgovarjava. pa stopita v dvorano Janko N. Rogelj in Little Stan. Veselo smo se pozdravili in se na kratko nekoliko pogovorili. Potem je predsednik našega društva in član istega od ustanovitve, 70-letni brat Frank Tur-1 šič, predstavi! glavnega pred-I sednika Ameriške bratske zvezs, I brata Roglja. Ta je v lepo za-j snovanem govoru povedal, da ga | veseli videti tako častno udele^-! bo na društveni veselici, in to j kljub izredno slabemu vremenu. Omenil je na kratko razvoj naše Ameriške bratske zveze, njeno sedanje dobro gospodar-j sko stališče in njen splošen do-j ber ugled v naši javnosti. Pozival je navzoče, da naj vsak po svojih zmožnostih pomaga, da postane Ameriška bratska zveza še večja, še trdnejša in še uglednejša. Govor glavnega predsednika je bil sprejet z velikim navdušenjem in aplav-| zom. Društveni predsednik nato predstavi Stanleya Pechaverja ali Little Stana, urednika an-' gleških strani Nove Dobe, da tudi on spregovori par besed. Brat Pechaver je v lepem tonu pozival navzoče, posebno mladi-1 no, k aktivnosti za našo Ame-j riško bratsko zvezo. Tudi on je bil deležen navdušenega aplavza za svo$' kratek govor. Nato sta nastopila prejšnji in sedanji društveni predsednik, j ki sta bila od veselja tako gi- j njena, da sta hotela oba hkratu govoriti in se zahvaliti občinstvu za tako lepo udeležbo. Dosti špasa je povzročil Little Stan s svojim privzetim imenom in svojo postavo. Tisti (in tiste), ki ga osebno niso še poznali, so ga iskali med ljudmi bolj majhne postave, kot sem na primer podpisani. Vpraševali so tudi mene in mi nekateri niso hoteli verjeti, ko sem jim pravil, da ga. naj iščejo med največjimi (šest čevljev in še nekaj). Kakšen Little Stan naj bo to, če se steza tako daleč proti nebeškim zvezdam! Bilo je mnogo zabave, dasi sem je bil jaz pri vratih le bolj od strani deležen. Pa sem si dejal: še dobro uro dela, nato pa se pridružim veseli družbi. Kmalu nato pa že zagledam skupino sobratov, ki so se pomikali proti vratom. Glavni predsednik Janko Rogelj in Little Stan sta se odpravljala proti domu. Janko je dejal, da bi se še rad pomudil par ur v veseli družbi, toda vlak ne čaka, in ga je treb^ zajezditi ob določenem času. Poslavljanja je bilo precej in Little Stan je bil tudi precej zaposlen s poslavljanjem od mlajših. Oba sta obljubila še priti ob, kaki priliki, ko bo morda več časa za pogovore. Z željo, da se ob prvi priliki spet zdravi in srečni snidemo v veseli družbi, smo se poslovili, in brat Verbič je odpeljal brata Roglja in Little Stana na postajo v Niles. Kot nam je bilo sporočeno, sta, prišla srečna in dobro razpoložena domov v Cleveland. Prireditev društva Lincoln, št. 108 ABZ, je bila lep uspeh. Tsn- to hvala vsem, ki so za uspeh kakor koli prispevali. Hvala bratu Roglju in Little Stanu, hvala vsem društvenim delavcem in hvala vsem udeležencem, in lep pozdrav vsem! Frank J. Prevec. » Denver, Colo. — Tem potom je vljudno vabljeno članstvo društva Sv. Jožefa, št. 21 ABZ, da se polnoštevilno udeleži redne mesečne seje, ki se bo vršila 13. marca v navadnih prostorih in ob navadnem času. Na seji meseca februarja je bilo naznanjeno, da bo letos 11. septembra poteklo 40 let, odkar je bilo naše društvo ustanovljeno. Zato je potrebno, da se član- • stvo polnoštevilno udeleži prihodnje seje ter pove svoje mnenje, če hočemo proslaviti 40-letnico našega društva ali ne. Kampanja “novega imena,” kateri bo sledila četrta mladinska konvencija, je v teku. Starši, ki imajo primerne starosti otroke v našem društvu, naj jih prijavijo kot kandidate in potem naj jim pomagajo pridobiti dovolj novih članov za odrasli ali mladinski oddelek, da dosežejo predpisano kvoto in kvalificirajo kot delegati za 4. mladinsko • konvencijo. S tem bodo zasigurali lep. plačan poletni izlet za svoje sinove ali hčere, obenem pa bodo pomagali k rasti in napredku našemu društvu in Ameriški bratski zvezi. Namen je torej vsestransko dober. Vsa pojasnila glede kampanje in kvalifikacij so vsak teden priobčena v Novi Dobi, Upajoč, da bo seja 13. marca polnoštevilno obiskana ter da bodo člani na omenjeni seji vpisali mnogo novih članov v odrasli in mladinski oddelek, vse članstvo bratsko pozdravljam ter kličem: na svidenje! —: Za društvo št. 21 ABZ: Frank Okoren, tajpik. katerih se tiče.
