Ohio Senator Sits for Jakac While a great deal of his work is with senators and members of the House of Representatives it seems that that is only the entering wedge and a way of convineing people that he can do real work. Some little time ago he has finished the portrait of Hon. R.

But to Mr. and Mrs. John Gornik it will be Saturday Aug¬ ust 16th and the 25 anniversary of their wedding which took plače on August 16, 1905. Twenty five years ago Mr. and Mrs. John Gornik entered into a contract which is to last until death doth them part and it is with great pleasure in this day of divorces to be able to record that another of our Sio¬ vene prominent families will celebrate their twenty-fifth an- niversary. Wil! Honeymoon in Waukegan To celebrate the day in the correct manner Mr. and Mrs. John Gornik will take another honeymoon trip this time not to Niagra Falls which they visited on their honey-moon twenty five years ago, this time they will go to the K. S. K. J. convention which will be 'held at Waukegan lllipois next week. Somehovv the idea of going to a conven¬ tion of a large fraternal organi¬ zation fits ideally into the pic¬ ture of Mr. John iGornik. He has been actively interested fraternally for more than twent/y years, and to visit an organiza¬ tion is quite fitting. Activity and more activity seems to be the keynote of Mr. and Mrs. John Gornik for they are identified with fraternal and other organization work so that even the old timers cannot rememlber when they first met them in that sort of work they vvere always ‘active. Mr. John Gornik’s haberdash- ery and tailoring business has been known to people since Jan- uary 28, 1905 and many a per- son can stili teli you that Gor- niks was the first plače that furnished him with the first set of American apparel when they came to America and wanted to get rid of their old country clothes.

The readers of the Journal should not miss the article vvhich appears in the “Short History of Siovene Liter¬ ature” on page two. They vvill find there an excellent portray- al of a man vvho may be said to have given the body to the Sio¬ vene language and who made the Siovene language a thing vvhich can be classed as a liter- ary language; vvho raised it from the level of dialect vvhich only peasants spoke with many variations in the different prov- inces to a unified vvhole and a “thing at onfee full of flexibility iand force.” The readers will find a sympathetic criticism of a man who iloved the Siovene, their native land coupled with a real love of a vvoman, by one who has made an extensive study of his Iife and vvho in his way can share the same feeling and the same sentiments that Dr. Fran¬ ce Prešeren had.

Breakers Ahead!!! good while mother and father pay the assessments but after the future boy and the girl grows up what will be the answer and what will be the action. Twenty Year Endowment and attractive insurance policies are cut* ting deeply into the roster of our fraternal organizations and now the leak in the dike can be stopped with a brave application of tlfe thumb. When the flood dams break loose there will be no use of erying. Some of our most noble organizations will go into history as wonderfu' achievements and helps in American progress among the Slovenes but they will eventually be forgotten. Now is the time for action. What will the older folk do for the youngsters? That question has be^n on the mincls of the younger generation whether it has been expressed as such or not. The question has been there. And the question will re- main until a satisfactory answer has been given. There has been a vogue in saying that this or that is done for the interest of the youth and when the particu- lar thing is finished youth wonders what really has been done and how youth may use the things which were done “not for us but so that our children may have a plače to go or something by which they can keep up the traditions of the Slovenes.” Phrases such as these have had a part in the campaign whenever something new was star.ted and whenever some idealistic program was entered upon and yet when ali is said and done what can be said to belong to youth that was done in its name. However it cannot be said that youth is not appre- ciaiive of ali the opportunities that have been built by the almost heroic work of the elclers. Youth is young and will not be trusted in the responsibje positions where their ideas will count and where they will have a decisive part to play in arranging the program for the future. It will not be long that the nationality will be a thing out of date unless something is done and done immediately. Most of our fraternal organizations have been for- ward seeing enough to know that the interest of the youth is of paramount issue and that the future depends very much on how youth responds. Ay, there is the rub —will they respond? The answer is simple. If there is sufficient encouragement they will respond so their eld- ers will have reason to be proud. In the fraternal organ- ization the encouragement of the English speaking lodges has brought splendid results and more will comr in the future. But sad to say English speaking lodges will not be the satisfactory answer in the near future something else will be necessary, something that will in¬ terest those children who are in their swaddling clothes today and who will be lost in the great melting not un¬ less something is done in the near future — ave, the verv near future. Juvenile sections wlll not avail much. They will be Our interest in American Slovenes is not a commer- cial proposition and anything that we say is said in the špirit of helpful suggestion and with our meek voice we are speaking for ali the Slovene youth and for the preš- ervation of those things which our fathers have built ano made successful despite ali the handicaps under whicl they worked. We are proud of their achievements and yr< want to keep them going as long as possible. Youth is ready to help if only it wlll be given an opportunity. ' that Robert Bur Ex Libri* Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Library. was, that is, he wrot e It is illogical to think that youth in its ambitious out iook will be very interested in things It knows it canno have now. And youth admits that it cannot accept ali the responsibilities that can be accepted by older and wise' I heads but it will work, form and support the second line offensive for Progressive work if something is startec now. American institutions have pointed a way of inter esting youth in their movements and make them read^ for the future. Slovene organizations can do the same thing and wlth profit to themselves. In our humble way may we suggest that the people in charge of organiza¬ tions have not bompleted their work now that they have put them on sound foundations and have assured them- selves that ali things being equal they will perpetuate themselves. They will ali things being equal but in the future they will not be equal. Not a note of pesslmism mt looking at faets. Immigration in large numbers has stopped and Slovenes have found already that youth is on their hands and a problem what to do. That youth M UST become interested. Truly the work is not com- olete. It means rolling up of sleeves and working out a oroblem. What the decision \vlll be youth is anxious to and out or it will be greatly disappointed. Organiza- ions cannot afford to disappoint youth for on youth the future depends. Twelve years ago, next No-| vember, the World War came to an end. With the signing of the Armistice, there was a great ihange made in. the map of Sastern Europe. Out of the iands formerly held by Austria tlungary, two distinct and in- iependent countries arose, Jugo- davia and Czecho Slovakia. However, because of the long lenturies of subjugation _ to drst, the great Byzantine Em- )ire in Asm Minor and later to the Teutonic peoples of Ger- many, the culture of the Czechs md Slavs is partly that of the Bast and partly European. This irea is the emeeting ground be- :ween the East and the West. In conclusion may we come forward with the sug- restion that there are organizations such as the Orel, Sokol and Boy and Girl Scout movements which coukl Oe utilized on which to build a program in which youth »vili be interested but \vhether one or the other is used or some thing of which we do not e ven suspect be util¬ ized it is the work of the organizations to decide and de- cide immediately before it is too late. Historically speaking, the •tory of the Czechs and the ilavs is one long heart breaking ■truggle for independence. It is 1 tale of small independent ountries who are trying to keep rom becoming absonbed into he more powerful states. Slo- 7 akia and Croatia became a part )f Hungary in the thirteenth entury. Later under Juskra of Brandys about 1450, there was a revival of national feeling in Slovakia and Croatia. But Kus- kra was simply a tool of the powerful Hapsburgs, so these two countries may be said to have formed the Hungarian Do¬ minion of the Austrian Empire. E verv one knovs the history of the Austrian Empire under the Emperor Charles V., and the subsequent story of it’s decline. Eastern Europe until the fall of Constantinople, had her hands m trying to keep from becom¬ ing overcome by the Turlcs of the Ottoman Empire. Because of the long struggie vvit-h the Turlcs there grew up an epic lit¬ erature common to ali of those countries that spent their time in the almost unceasing warfare against the enemy. This liter¬ ature was in the form of an epic poem. They are the stories of brave Christian Knights fight- ing the infidels. The Serbian-Croat literature is perhaps, one of the best ex- amples of epic poetry of this of the East during the Middle Ages, this Serbian-Croat litera¬ ture was considered, by the christiRn monks, to be pagan, and therefore it was disregard- ed. However, during the Re- naissance period, things there¬ fore changed to such an extent that the first Ragusan poets were influenced by the poetry of the common people. This poetry took two forms; first, the songs of the women as they were called, which consisted of lyric poerns telling of love, court- ship and marriage. Then there vvere the national epic poems. These compare with the epies of Greece, France and Scotland. Indeed, there is a great likeness in the Čroat-Srbo h dr o Marko to the Greek hero Achilles. Both Marko and Achilles swear on the bare bosom of their mother’, Achilles not to fight on his motheris birthday and Marko not to kili Turks on the day of -his mother’s patron saint. The Slavs have in com¬ mon with the people of Western Europe, the.ballad or tradition- al poem. The ballads are the poems handed down by word of mouth from the old to the young for countless generations. The golden age of literature in Hungary, however, was not until the early nineteenth cen- tury, and until what is known in English, Frerph, and German literature as the Romantic era. Her most cultured poet is John Arany. He is considered the best scholar of, the Hungarian language and his translations from foreign languages into the Hungarian are considered the finest that Hungary posses- ses. In addition to this, Arany was a perfect master of the epic and ballad form of poetry.

Dr. France Prešeren By Ivan Zorman There are probably very few Slovenes who have not heard or sung the tenderly beautiful serenade “Pod oknom” (Underneath the Window), which be- gins with the words “Luna sije, kladvo bije” (The moon shines, the clock strikes). There are many, how- ever, who do not know that this perennial favorite was written by France Prešeren, our greatest poet. It is surely fitting to teli our younger ‘Slovene gen¬ eration from time to time something of this poetic genius. He is one of the brighest lights of Slovene culture and Slovene history. His poetic works gained for us an honorable position among the cultured peoples of Europe. The name Prešern has become a synonym for every thing that is most noble and most characteristic of the Slovene heart and špirit. — Though these poems are Slovene to the core, they have a universal appeal, having been conceived by a špirit of wide range and deep love of humanity. France Prešeren was born in the village of Vrba, near Lake Bled. This little village lies at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and is one of the most beautiful in Slovenia. The memory of Prešern’s birth- place was ever dear to him, and he sings of it in some of his finest poems, particularly in his splendid sonnet “O Vrba, srečna, draga, vas domača” (“O Vrba, thou dear, happy native village). In his seventh year Prešern was sent to his fath- er’s uncle, the priest Jože Prešeren, in Kopanje Dolenjsko. From 1810 to 1812 he attended the element- ary school at Ribnica. In 1812 he came to Ljubljana to continue his education, six years of gymnasium and two years of philosophy, after which he left for Vien- na to study law. He received the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1828. While in Vienna he was for a time in- struetor in the Klinkowstrom School, an institution which was attended by the sons of aristocratic fam- ilies. There he met the young Count Anton Auersperg, who later became the noted poet Anastasius Grun, upon whom Prešern exerted a great influence. The result of this relationship was Grund’s book of trans¬ lations “Volkslieder aus Krain” (Folk songs of Slove¬ nia) published in 1850. In his Vienna years Prešern read much. He read various Greek, Latin and Italian writers. He became acquainted with the masters of antiquity, such as Homer, Euripedes, Sophocles, Plau- tus, Terrence, Ovid and the old - Italian writers~3oc- caccio and Guarini. When Prešern returned to Ljub¬ ljana he familiarized himself with the contemporary German, Italian, French and Spanish writers, thus gaining a thorough knowledge of the new Romantic School. It is interesting to note that Prešern even read the works of Lord Byron and Thomas Moore. In Ljubljana Prešern practiced law v/ith the firm Baumgartner, and later with a friend of his Vienna school days, Crobath. He now again met Matija Cop, his dearest friend, who was born in Zerovnica (F797), a little village not far away from Vrba. Cop was a man of tremendous learning. Prešern called him “Ve¬ likan učenosti” (giant of learning). Cop had been professor of languages and humanities in Lvov and Reka (Fiume). He was well versed in most of the an- cient as well as the modern languages, but not merely from a linguistic, philological viewpoint. He was more interested in the literary values of these languages. čop became Prešern’s mentor, critic and guide, parti- cularly in the field of estheties and in the study of old and new metrical forms. The period beginning with the poet’s return to Ljubljana till Cop’s untimely death in 1835 (he was accidentally drowned in the Sava River) was his most productive. This was the period of the “Kranjska Cbelica” (The Carniolian Bee) “Cbelica” a yearly almanac or magazine, was founded, edited and published by Miha Kastelic, Li- .brarian at the Lyceum Library of Ljubljana. Kastelic sueceeded in gathering ali the contemporary poets, about this magazine. Prešeren being the most gifted, ^ was, of course, its greatest contributor. Therein lies the chief importance of the “Cbelica ’. It appeared five times in 1830 - 31 - 32 - 33 and in 1848. Thus was Prešern given an opportunity of bringing his poems to the attention of the Slovene public. Prešern found his greatest inspiration in his love for Julia Primic. The poet’s yearning for a strong, deep love was centered in her. Prešern’s love for Juha however, was not merely erotic, it was not merely a lover’s complaint of an unrequieted love, as it indeed proved to be in his čase, but it was a love that closely linked itself with the poefs love for humanity and especially for the Slovene land and its people. His marvellous sonnet sequence “Sonetni venec” (Sonnet Wreath) reveals to us a grandiouse weaving and fus- ion of his love for Julia with his love for his country and his people. Julia was his inspiration from 1831 till the publication of his noble epic “Krst pri Savici” (The Baptism at the Savica) in 1836 and even beyond that date. “Krst pri Savici” v/as composed in the days of Prešeren’s greatest dejection, at a time when he real- ized that Julia was lost to him; it was written soon after the death of his friend Cop. Thus is “Krst pri Savici” a monument to Prešeren’s dead love, with the principal thought: Man in this • world cannot be happy; happiness is not the goal of this life; the quest for the happiness is not its intent. Perhaps man has no right to happiness but it is necessary that the yearning for happiness (hrepenenje po sreči) be transformed into a yearning for realization (hrepene¬ nje po spoznanju). There was a lull in Prešern’s Creative work after his “Krst.” But a new enthuslasm and inspiration was awakened in him by his two remaining friends, the young Polish poet Emil Korytko and the mer-, chant Andrej Smole. Korytko came to Ljubljana in 1837 as a political exile. He and Prešern became fast friends. Prešern taught Korytko Slovene, and Korytko taught Prešern Folish. Korytko was greatly interested in the Slovene ica . Full of far-reaching plans and projeets. Sj died suddeniy in 1840. Prešern pays him tributei® ^ fine poem “V spomin Andreja Smoleta” (In Maa L.,' Panv of Andrej Smole). Smole’s death left Prešern disillusioned ken.spirited. Ilenceforth he wrote little, thougkj did contribute several poems to the final book Cbelica” in 1848. He nov/ found his only A: tion in the preparation of his “Poezije” (Poe®! publication.

Tony Ora¬ zem was the high light of the thrilling victory. In the early stanzas he got off }to a l>ad start during which time the Pio¬ neers scored four runs on three successive walks combined with several miscues by his mates and a single. However after this orgy of bad playing the Or¬ eh began to advance and were soon ahead of the Pioneers. Anslovv and Barbič tvvirled for the C. F. U. and might have "on had it not been for Ora- zem’s great hitting. His single in the initial frame did not re- sult in any scoring. But in the third inning he laced a terrific three bagger with the basen loaded. Again in the latter stage of the see-saw game he a žain unlashed a two sacker, this time driving in two run n «s across the plate. Ali in ah he was responsible for six runs of the eight scored. “Red” Hrancel must be mentioned in Passing out the good merits. He "alloped. a double and single.

In a pre- vious engagement the Orels sur- prised everyone including them- selves when they put it over the up ’ until then undefeated champs. Since then the Young Men have had a close call and barely defeated the Boosters. They have also lost to the Com- rades and Pioneers. The Orels have a young peppy bali team which is not always at its best, but which is ever fighting for a break in the game. It is in wach ways that the Orelites have won from the Young Men previously and in like manner scored another sur- prising win over the Pioneers. On paper the Slovenian Young Men should win by 4 - 1. Hovv- ever, on the battle field the odds narrow down considerably. With both clubs highly inter- ested in seeing their respective team on top, a large crowd of followefs is expected to view the shindig at Gordon Park Wednesday. The winner will take on the Loyalites for the first division title. “BILLIKEN” now MANAGER *®®®®®®®®®®®®®®©®®®®®®®®®®® aseball reezes J®®®®®®®®®!®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®® & * Soz .. S.V.M.C. Wins Glori- ous Ten Inning Battle Reserves Save Day for Faltering Champs KEEP COOL BY READING BASEBALL BREEZES ^ ^ * One of those old fashioned bali games wherein there was plenty of excitement, thrills galore, fancy catches and six home runs featured the Grisetti “B” team win over the negro Slaughter Bros., defending champions, by a score of 9 - 8. Two lads, Gonsorcik and Bu- dan stood head and shoulders above the other performers. The two smacked out eight hits of the eleven made by the vic- tors. Budan made three singles and a homer w;hile Gonsorcik, the big hero of the day, crashed out three triples. And then in the tenth inning, with the score tied, Gonsorcik broke up one bali game by lacing a sky line drive oven the left field cruwd for four foases. He knocked in four runs, scored one himself, and cut off a run by making a. per¬ fect throw centeffield right in¬ to the catcher’s glove. This was not just a lucky day for Andy Gonsorcik who former- ly played with the St. Anthony Cadets. He has been belting the horse hide at a .400 clip ali sea¬ son. By defeating the povverful Slaughter Champions, the Gri- settis become the logical con- tenders for the class “B” gon- falon. 11 A big, burly, angry negro bal- lowed out to third baseman Jones of the Slaughters who was at bat: “Hey, there, third base, you ain’t playin’ no base, Iet’s see you hit that —bali.” Jones heard him no.t and štručk out. t t What’s the matter with the Majestic Radios? six innings they were in front 3-2. The Knits then tied the score in the seventh and followed up with three more in the eighth. Mean- time, the Knits hurler, Carlson, seemed to get better as he went along besides enjoying a three run lead. Beginning of the ninth the Majestic were beginning to play their final inning of the year. The bat boy was prepar- ing to put the bats away. The^ first batter, Kattila, leisurely| walked to the plate and singled. Tony Leskovec walked. Stili no excitement. Keegan hit the sphere to deep short and then “Frigids” Brown slashed a sin¬ gle, scoring two runs. Plenty of excitement now. Eddie Ko¬ vačič banged a igrass cutter along the third base line, scor¬ ing two more runs. There was no stopping this Majestic gang. Before they were through seven men crossed the plate.

Unquestionafcly, the best play- ed, most exciting and most thrill ing bali game this year in the S. D. Z. Circuit was the S. Y. M. C. - Mir jamboree And what a great jamboree it was for the Young Men. They had been fighting unhill througout. Their chances appeared hopeless as their efforts proved too weak to amount to any serious conse- ouence. For the first eight in¬ nings Mir had the edge on the champions in ali respects. But every cloud does not have a sil¬ ver lining, nor does a team. get any credit for leading almost the entire game if in the end It ioses. That is another way of telling tjhat Miir lost a heart breaking game. Mir took to the field witb plenty of pep and confidence. Who are the S. Y. M. C.’s any- way? Didn\t ithey wallop ’em earlier in the season. Why have any fear? And they did hop right on the champs and made them like it. In the very sec¬ ond inning two runs were scored as a result of F. Kosak’s homer with Srey on base. S. Y. M. C. countered with one marker when Vihtelic clouted a j four ply wallop vvhich. was mis- iudged.

So left field; Makovec fouled out and then Chuck “Flovvers” Slap¬ nik (not related to Tiger Flovv¬ ers), punched & sharp single, scoring Gingy with the vvinning run. Makovec started on the mound for the victors. He allovved six hits and štručk out six in eighi innings. “Twin” Y'erse who re- lieved him, štručk out four in, two stanzas and allovved no hits. 1 Maver s on both teams fielded like men inspired.
