Vprizoritev opere “II Trova-po pevskem zboru “Zar-,l!< ’ v Clevelandu, O., je bila Sekakor najpomembnejša in N sijaj ne j ša slovenska priredi-ev na Martinovo nedeljo. Izdana je bila tako dobro, čuv-^’eno in precizno, da je občin-Stvo držala v napeti pozornosti '(' začetka do konca. Prekipe-‘‘■iočemu navdušenju je občin-Htvo dajalo duška z burnim ^skanjem. Samostojni pev-I* zbor “Zarja” je podal na genskem odru v Clevelandu marsikaj lepega, in zdi se, <!ii si z vsako novo prireditvijo ^ete nov in lepši lovorjev 'ettec.
^oset prireditve je bil tako pJajen, kot prireditev sama. r°storen avditorij s prostor-,lfri balkonom Slovenskega Nagega Doma je bil to pot pre-'^.ihen, kar ;se redkokrat zgo-,!•_ Vsi sedeži do zadnjega so '!l' razprodani in mnogo oboin-j vn je moralo stati v ozadju j1' ob straneh.

VOLITVE preteklega tedna so se zaključile z veliko zmago stranke predsednika Roosevelta. Demokrati so si dosedanjo večino v zveznem kongresu še povečali. V senatu imajo demokrati zasiguranih G9 sedežev, republikanci 25, en mandat ima farmersko - delavska stranka, enega pa progresivci. V poslanski zbornici prihodnjega kongresa bo najmanj 321 demokratov, 103 republikanci, šest progresivcev in dva zastopnika farmersko-delavske stranke. Trije mandati so še sporni in se ne ve, koliko jih bo pripadlo eni ali drugi stranki.
Demokrati bodo imeli v novem kongresu, ki se snide 3. januarja 1935, tako večino, da bodo brezpogojno nosili vso od-govoinost za vse sklepe narodne postavodaje.
V Wisconsinu so La Folletto-jevi progresivci porazili republikance in demokrate. V Minnesoti je zmagala farmersko-delavska stranka. Zmagoviti stranki v Wisconsinu in Minnesoti se smatrata za mnogo bolj progresivni kot Rooseveltov New Deal.
V Californiji, kjer je bila silno huda borba med konservativci, katerim prednjači sedanji governer republikanec Merriam, in med demokrati, katere je vodil radikalni pisatelj Upton Sinclair kot governerski kandi-M,	^lagali jpaM;.

večino. Merriam je dobil o-krog milijon glasov, Sinclair pa okrog 800,000. Manjšina, ki je dobila znatno število poslancev v državni legislaturi, obeta o-stati aktivna in na straži.
V Louisiani so se volilci izrazili za vjsoke dohodninske davke na dohodke in za odpravo davkov na male domove in male farme. V nekaterih drugih državah bodo oproščeni davkov homesteadi.
V Arkansasu so volilci s spremembo ustave omejili visokost davkov. V New Yorku in Illinoisu so bili z veliko večino o-dobreni bondi v odpomoč potrebnim.
V Nebraski so volilci izpre-menili državno ustavo tako, da bo v bodoče državna legislatura obstojala le iz ene zbornic«, mesto iz dveh. Ta izprememba pride v veljavo šele po zaključenem terminu sedanje legislature.
Za odpravo državnih prohibi-cijskih postav so se volilci izjavili v državah West Virginia, Nebraska, Idaho, South Dakota, Wyoming in Florida. Države Kansas, Oklahoma in Texas so se izjavile za nadaljevanje suše.
V Memphisu, Tenn., so volilci z veliko večino odglasovali za javno lastništvo proizvodnje in prodaje električne sile. Za javno lastništvo javnih naprav ali utilitet so se izrazili tudi volilci v Sacramentu, Cal., in v St. Paulu, Milin.
V legislature države Ohio je bil izvoljen Slovenec Joseph J. Ogrin, mlad odvetnik iz Clevelanda.
UPTON SINCLAIR, poraženi kandidat za governerja v Californiji, je izjavil, da bo zahteval kongresno preiskavo volitev. Obljubil je tudi, da bo izdal novo knjigo z naslovom “Jaz, kandidat za governerja v Californiji, in kako sem bil poražen.”

DRAGA TEKOČINA
Najpotrebnejša tekočina na svetil je voda. Brez vode ni življenja za rastlinstvo, živalstvo in človeštvo. V mnogih krajih sveta je sladke vode v preobilici, zato nihče ne misli dosti o nji. So pa zopet kraji, kjer ni jezer, tekočih rek, potokov in studencev, ampak je treba vodo na en ali drugi način izčrpati iz zemlje.
Letošnja suša je mnogokje po rašem srednjem zapadu in zapadli posušila vse tekoče vode in vse vodnjake; črpalke niso več dovajale vode iz zemlje, ker se je zemlja posušila pregloboko. Mnogo živine je poginilo vsled gladu in žeje, prebivalstvo pa je moralo za pitje in kuho potrebno vodo privažati od daleč. Voda je tako naenkrat, postala izredno draga tekočina.
V	raznih krajih zapada in posebno jugozapada dež le malokdaj pada; tamkajšnja polja, vinogradi in sadonosniki uspevajo in rodijo le, če se jih umetnem potom namaka. V to svr-ho je za namakanje potrebno vodo treba včasi napeljati na velike daljave. V centralni in južni Californiji na primer se širijo najkrasnejša polja, najlepši sadni vrtovi in najbogatejši vinogradi po krajih, kjer je bila pred leti suha puščava, redko porasla z bodečimi kak-ti ,jukami in revnim puščavskim grmičjem. Voda, napeljana iz velikih daljav, je izpre-menila divje puščave v bogate in rodovitne kraje. Ti kraji bi se v par letih zopet izpremeni-li v suhe puščave, če bi dotok vode odnehal.
Znani Boulder jez na reki Colorado se gradi zaradi omejitve poplav, katere reka zdaj povzroča v svojem spodnjem teku, zaradi proizvajanja električne sile ,v glavnem pa zaradi konzerviranja vode, ki je potrebna za namakanje in oskrbovanje mest s potrebno vodo.
Mesto Los Angeles v južnem delu Californije, ki spada v “suhi pas,” hitro raste, in dosedanji rezervoarji bodo kmalu postali premajhni za oskrbovanje mestnega prebivalstva z vodo.
V	okrožju Los Angelesa je kakšen ducat manjših mest, ki tu di potrebujejo mnog o vode. Vsled tega so začeli graditi velikanski vodovod, ki bo pri mestu Parker, Arizona, zajemal vodo iz reke Colorado ter jo dovajal mestu Los Angeles in okoliškim mestom. Kakšen velikanski projekt bo dotični vodovod, se vidi iz dejstva, da bo stal okrog 220 milijonov dolarjev. Boulder jez, ki spada med naj ogromne jše projekte, ki se zdaj gradijo, bo stal le okrog 100 milijonov dolarjev.
Vodovod bo dolg 241 milj do reservoarja, od tam pa še 144 milj do mest, in zanj bo treba prevrtati celo vrsto visokih gora in hribov. Vsega skupaj bo treba izvrtati 29 predorov ali tunelov skozi gorovja. Predori bodo 18 čevljev široki in Visoki in betonirani, dasi bodo vodili večinoma skozi živo skalo; dolgost vseh tunelov skupaj, ki bodo potrebni na tem vodovodu, bo znašala 91 milj. Najdaljši teh predorov bo dolg 18 milj. Zanimivo je, da daljših predorov ne vrtajo samo od obeh koncev, ampak izvrtajo tudi ■v mesne “šahte,” da se lahko de-
lo	istočasno vrši na daljši črti. Delo upajo dovršiti v približno šestih letih.
Najboljši odjemalec električne sile, ki jo bodo proizvajali na Boulder jezu, bo gori omenjeni vodovod. Približno 400,000 kon.i-(Dalje na 4. stvanl)

VSAK PO SVOJE
PROBLEMI PRISELJENCA
Vprašanje: Ravpokar sem našel, da bo moj prvi državljanski papir v kratkem sedem let star. | J Ko sem ga dobil, niso zahtevali , nikakega spričevala o prihodu, i ^ Ali morem stvar pospešiti, tu- . ko da ne zapade ta papir?
i:
Odgovor: Vložite takoj tako ' s zvano preliminarno prošnjo za j t drugi papir, s tern, da izpolnite ! j tiskovino A-2214 ;in jo pošjiteL; naturalizacijskemu uradu sko- \ paj z dvema slikama in Money Ordrom za $2.50 in priložiti pr- , vi papir. Ako ste prišli pred 29. junijjm 1906, ni treba spri- t, čevala o prihodu (certificate of L. arrival) in zato ni treba priložiti gori omenjene pristojbine ] ?2.50. Ako ste prišli kasneje, j natui alizacijski i^ad poskrbi, ' da se dobi spričevalo pravočas- () no. Umestno ji, da priložite n pismo svoji prošnji, v katerem ^ opozarjate na dejjvo, da prvi papir kmalu zapadjg.	j
Vprašanje: Bil sem v ameriš- r ki vojski tekom svjetovne vojne, v ali nisem postal nikdar ameri- ) ški državljan, ker |em se name- j ra val povrniti v stari kraju Ali n moreni sedaj zaprositi za držav- j. ljanstvo brez prve|a papirja? i
Odgovor : Posebni zakon, ki je ,, dovoljeval razne olajšave za na- p turalizacijo bivših vojakov te-kom svetovne vojne, je stopil iz j j. veljave dne 24. maja 1934. Ako i (j hočete postati ameriški držav- j ^ ljan, morate storiti isto kot vsak i 7 drugi, to je: morate dobiti prvi ' j. papir in potem čakati dve leti, predrto vložite prošnjo *a 'drugi -papir.
Vpraša nje je-Neki inozemec je! , prišel zakonito v'Združene dr- j • žave pred šestimi leti. Tukaj ni j imel nikakih sitnosti s. sodišči, I j ali bil je v ječi v starem kra- n ju. Ako bi tukajšnje oblasti to doznale, bi to imelo kake posl idi- j. ce zanj ?	j.
Odgovor : Ako je bil ta inoze-mec pred svojim prihodom v, j Ameriko kaznovan radi zločina j ali prestopka, ki vsebuje “mo- j ralno pokvarjenost,” ga morejo r priseljeniške oblasti deportira- j ti vsak čas.
Vprašanje: čital sem, da ta- j kozvani Civilian Conservation j Corps se bo nadaljeval. Ali sprej-1 mejo tudi inozemce, ki imajd prvi državljanski papir?
Odgovor: Ne, prosilci morajo j. biti ameriški državljani po roj- ^ stvu-ali naturalizaciji.
Vprašanje: Se li sme človek v težkih prilikah obrniti na po- ,, moč na federalne pomožne or- ! ] ganizacije?
Odgovor: Posameznik se more obrniti le na lokalno pomožno organizacijo. Te ilegalne agencije so pod nadzorstvom državne pomožne administracije. Federalna vlada daje sredstva le državam, ki jih razdeljujejo med lokalne organizacije.
Vprašanje: Ko sem prišel v New York 1. 1920, sem nameraval ostati v tej deželi le začasno in tako sem prijavil tudi priseljeniški oblasti. Pa sem ostal tukaj in sedaj bi šel rad na obisk v stari kraj. Ali morem dobiti povratni permit?
Odgovor: Ker ni bilo nikakih kvotnih omejitev pred dnem 3. junija 1921, se vsak inozemec, | ki je prej prišel, smatra kot da je bil pripuščen za stalno bivanje. Zato lahko zaprosite za povratni permit.—-FLIS-

Sredi oktobra je skoro vso a.ovanijp pobelil sneg, ponekod le za par centimetrov na debelo, ponekod pa je padlo snega 20 do 30 centimetrov visoko. Sneg je sledil močnemu deževju ter je bil moker in težak. Marsikje je polomil drevje ter potrgal telegrafske žice. Nekaterim kmetom je zgodnji sneg zapal tudi pozne jesenske pridelke. Po nižjih krajih se je sneg večinoma kmalu stopil.
Slovenski pisatelj Ksaver Meško je dne 28. oktobra slavil 60-letnico svojega rojstva.
Občinski odbor v Šmartnem pri Litiji je na poziv od višjih oblasti sklenil preimenovati grič Bogenšperk (W a g e n s-berg), na katerem stoji znameniti starinski grad istega imena, Valvazorjev grič. Sedanji lastnik gradu je knez Alfred Windischgraetz. Pred dobrimi 250 leti pa je tam gospodoval učeni zgodovinar in topograf baron Ivan Vajkard Valvazor. Baron Valvazor je prvi opozoril tujino na lepote Kranjske dežele s svojo knjigo “Slava vojvodine Kranjske.” Za to nesmrtno književno delo je žrtvoval skoro vse svoje veliko premoženje.
Brezposelni izseljenci se v Vedno večjem ,^.1-evilu vračajo
iz tujine v Slovenijo in druge
dele Jugoslavije. Iz Francije se je nedavno pripeljalo 150 izseljencev, in kakor so pripovedovali, vse kaže, da bodo v doglednem času vsi tujezemci v Franciji izgubili delo. Iz Holandije, kjer je bilo zaposlenih okrog 1000 jugoslovanskih delavcev, se jih je zadnje »čase vrnilo okrog 500, večinoma s skromnimi prihranki. Drugi, ki so še tam, pridejo najbrž kmalu za njimi. Iz Belgije se izseljenci še ne vračajo, toda tamkajšnja pridjetja ne sprejmejo nobenega tujezemca več na delo. V Nemčiji živi na stotine naših rojakov že več let od brezposelnostne podpore. Iz Severne Amerike se izseljenci ne vračajo v večjem številu, toliko več pa jih prihaja iz Argentine, izmozganih in brez vsakih sredstev. Vračajoči se izseljenci bedo še-povečali število brezposelnih v domovini.
SLIKA IZ SLOVENIJE
V Jugoslaviji seje mudil štabni leporter velikega clevelandske-1 ga dnevnika “The Cleveland j Press,” Mr. Theodore Andrica, ki je precej poznan tudi med clevelandskimi Slovenci. V izdaji omenjenega lista z dne 8. novembra je priobčen zanimiv, s shl.ami okrašen članek Mr. Andrice, ki se nanaša na Ljubljano in d .’loma na ostalo Slovenijo. Slike kažejo del Ljubljane z gradom, slikarja Boži-, dara Jakca, ki slika bivšega ju-1 goslovanskcga prestolonasled-! nika in sedanjega enajstletnega kralja Petra, in posebej Jak-cov portret princa Andreja.
čitatelje Nove Dobe bo nedvomno zanimalo, kakšne vtise je dobil v Ljubljani in Sloveniji poročevalec velikega ameriškega dnevnika, zato priobčamo v naslednjem nekatere izčrpke iz gori omenjenega članka.
“Ako bi Louis Adamičeva knjiga “The Native’s Return” ne bila prepovedana v Jugoslaviji, bi bila njena prodaja ogromna. Kajti končno, Adamič je Slovenec in Ljubljana je glavno mesto Slovenije, in vsakega zanima, kaj je “Lojze” pisal o Jugoslaviji, da je bila njegova knjiga tam prepovedana. Pronašel sem, govoreč z ljudmi, ki niso čitali Adamičeve knjige ali ne vedo, kaj vsebuje, da so vsi isti nasprotni Adamiču. Toda, kadar sem se sestal z ljudmi, ki so čitali omenjeno knjigo, sem pronašel, da so navdušeni za njo;-#.e\;|ida a.iajer mb' visokih uradnikov.
“Toda zelo malo ljudi je či-1 'ilo to knjigo, če je kdo zasačen v posesti te knjige, ima velike neprilike. Globa in zapor j j e njegova nagrada. Kljub temu so ljubljanski Slovenci pripravljeni prevzeti to liziko. V korist jugoslovanskim oblastim, ki pazijo na pošto kot jastrebi, naj rečem na tem mestu, da knjiga se čita. Najbolj iznajdljiva pota se najdejo, da se dobi knjigo. Resnica je, da ni mnogo iztisov te knjige v deželi, toda kdor jo ima, lahko napravi dobro življenje s tem, da knjigo posojuje “zanesljivim” ljudem.
“Ljubljana je vselej napravila name vtis zelo rednega in discipliniranega mesta. Prav za prav jaz mislim, da je tam preveč discipline. Vedno je še nekako malo provincialno avstrijsko mesto, kjer “beamterji” žive regularno življenje in nikoli ne spreminjajo starih tradicij.
“Seveda, odkar je bila Ljubljana osvobojena avstrijs k o nadvlade, je mnogo napredovala literarno, kulturno in ekonomsko. Mnogo novih zgradb in gradenj je koristilo prosperi-iteti mesta. Edini nebotičnik na Balkanu, 14-nadstropno poslopje, ponosno stoji sredi Ljubljane.
“Ljubljana je dom dveh Cle-vtlandčanov, katera jaz poznam. Eden teh ,je Božidar Jakac, sloveči jugoslovanski slikar, ki ima zdaj svoj študijo v Ljubljani. Jakac je dobro znan, ne samo v Clevelandu, ampak po vsej Ameriki. Živel I je več kot eno leto v Clevelandu in izdelal portrete mnogih promlnentnih A m e r i č a nov. Oglasil sem se najprej v njegovem študiju v Ljubljani. Jakac se je bil ravno povrnil s kraljevega dvorca na Bledu, kjer je bival en mesec in kjer je izdelal portrete kraljice Marije in njenih treh sinov, vključno kralja Petra. Jakcev studio je poln (Dalje na 4. strani)

Zdi se, da so pri volitvah preteklega tedna najbolje vozi-
li	tisti kandidati, ki so izjavljali, da bodo podpirali predsednika Roosevelta. Pri prihodnjih volitvah, ki se bodo vršile čez dve leti, pa bodo, po mojih mislih, najbolje vozili tisti kandidati, ki bodo v življenjsekem boju podpirali ostalih 125 milijonov Američanov. Posebno tistih deset milijonov, ki so danes brez dela in zaslužka.
Neki znani pridigar je nedavno rekel, da sta obe večji stari politični stranki gnili. Jaz ne vem, koliko je v tem resnice, toda če jo je le 50 procentov, , ni čudno, da včasi tako smrdi iz enega ali drugega tabora.

Prijatelj Cahej trdi, da je v sredo 7. novembra vse kandidate glava bolela. Tisti, ki so zmagali, so od veselja proslavljali odpravo prohibicije, kar ni ostalo brez posledic. Poražene kandidate je pa-glava bolela kar tako.

Slovenci v Clevelandu postajamo vedno bolj praktični. Na naši slavni St. Clair cesti sem
lokala izselili odvetniki ih njihovo mesto so zavzeli pravi
honest to goodness šuštarji. Saj nič ne rečem, tudi odvetniki včasi prav pridejo, a za praktično življenje so šifštarji bolj potrebni.
Vsakdo je že videl vrabca, ki je pobiral in zobal oves, katerega je konj raztresal iz jasli ali iz torbe. To pa so edini dokazi, na katere se lahko opirajo tisti, ki trdijo, da dva lahko živita prav tako poceni kot eden.

Nekje (sem čital, da se je admiral Byrd prvič peljal preko južnega tečaja v saneh, v katere so bili vpreženi psi. Če je poročilo resnično, so bili psi prej na južnem tečaju kot admiral Byrd.
Na. novomeškem sodišču je bil obsojen na deset let in tri mesece robije mladi Karel Zobec, sin posestnika iz Dolenje vasi pri Ribnici, ki je dne 17. septembra s polenom ubil 56-letno posestnico Marijo Pusto-vo, mater osmih otrok, v Dolenji vasi.
V	Borovljah na Koroškem je bilo pred leti središče cveteče puškarske industrije. Po plebiscitu se je večina tam zaposlenih Slovencev preselila v Jugoslavijo in je bila v Kranju ustanovljena puškarska zadruga. Leta 1921 je bila v Kranju ustanovljena tudi državna puškarska šola, ki je delovala tam do leta 1930, ko je bila prene-šena v Užice. Odkar je bila šola prenešena v Užice, nima pravega pomena, ker v njo od blizu ne prihaja naraščaj, od drugod pa učenci zaradi gospodarske krize ne morejo prihajati. Že prvo leto, ko je šola poslovala v Užicah, je bila večina gojencev iz Slovenije. Prirast-(Dalje na 4. strani)
V naših otroških letih so nam učitelji stavili mravlje za vzor pridnosti. Takrat sem to nekoliko verjel, danes pa ne več, pač pa smatram mravlje za prvovrstne sladkosnednice in veseljačke. Saj takoj najdejo vsak košček sladkorja, vsak sladki sadež in na 'vseh piknikih so prve in zadnje.

Mnogo prerekanja je že bilo, kdo in kakšen je tipičen Američan. Neki šaljivec je zdaj ta problem rešil sledeče:

O MUCIMACI
THE SELFISH LITTLE GIRL
“Fej, kaka ogabna žival! šššš-marš!” Trije dečki, ki so pravkar prikorakali čez travnik, so se zapodili za sivo mačko, ki je hitro zbežala. “Ali bo izginila, grda živina!” In nekaj kamnov je zletelo za mačko.
“Kaj vam je storila mačka?” Močna deška roka je zgrabila dvignjeno roko enega Urned treh dečkov, ki je hotel za-lučiti še en kamen za bežečo mačko. “Da vam ne pride več kaj takega na um! Malopridnež je, kdor se loti brez-zaščitene živali!”
“Nu, najprej si oglej svojega ljubljenca, Peter!” se je norčeval eden izmed trojice. “Ali si že kdaj videl tako lepotico mačjega rodu?”
Res: mačka, ki je zdaj prežala na drugi strani ceste izza velikega kamna, je bila vse prej ko lepa. Videti je bila na pol izlakana, dlako je imela razrnr-šeno, in v kožuhu si lahko dobro opazil rane.
“To je vse eno!” je menil Peter. “Vsaka žival je živo bitje, kakor ti ali pa jaz, in podlo je, če jo kdo muči! Mucka, muc, muc, muc!” je začel vabiti preplašeno mačko. Trojica dečkov se je smeje odpravila dalje.
Peter je imel od zajtrka še nekaj kruha v žepu in ga je jel drobiti na cesto, da bi privabil ubogo živalco. Lačna mucka je pozabila svoj strah in prišla po kruhove drobtine; pri tem se je Petru tako približala, da bi jo lahko pobožal. A ne—prijeti je ni bilo moči, tako umazana je bila!
Ko se je Peter domov grede nekajkrat ozrl, je vselej videl mačko, kako jo je v majhni razdalji ubirala za njim. Hotela je iti z njim! Ne, kaj takega! Nu, njegova mati gotovo ne bi bila vesela, če bi prinesel mačko s seboj. Oh, bo že kako!
Ko je mati zagledala mačko—Peter jo je bil skrivaj odnesel v svojo sobo— je bila že bolj spodobna videti.
“Menda je ne misliš obdržati?” je vprašala gospa Melavčeva. “Samo mrčes nam bo prinesla v hišo. Vrhu vsega pa stane vzdrževanje take živali denar! Koliko poje takle drobiž!” ' Pqter je moledoval in moledoval, dokler ni skomignila z rameni, rekoč: “Če se oče ne bo upiral ...” Mrčesa mačka ni imela, o tem se je gospa Melavčeva takoj prepričala.
Gospod Melavec se je na vse načine upiral, Peter se ni dal ugnati; nečlove-veško se mu je zdelo, da bi ubogo žival spet zapodil na cesto.	Nazadnje je
vendar dobi! dovoljenje: “Naj bč, toda mačka mi ne strte v sobo. Na imetniku naj ostane!”
Peter je skrbno hranil svojo mucko. Mleko, ki ga je dobil za zajtrk, je zmerom dal svoji mali varovanki in počasi jo je tudi navadil snage.
Peter jo j*: krstil za Mucomaco.
Neko noč se je pa zgodilo tole: Mucamaca se je nemirno prevračala na svojem ležišču poleg odprtih kuhinjskih vrat! Časih je vstala, stopila na temni hodnik, povohala sem in tja, nat.) pa spet legla nazaj. Končno jo je obšel še večji strah in s prestrašenim, hkratu pa žalostnim mijavkanjem se je uprla v vrata, ki so vodila v Petrovo sobo . . .
Peter je sanjal čudne sanje; bil je z očetom v trgovini, kjer je izbiral nov plašč. Prodajalec mu je oblekel temen plašč s krznenim ovratkom. “Tega ovratka ne maram. Prevroč je, po vrhu pa še praska!” je rekel očetu. Toda krzno se je le še tesneje ovilo njegovega vratu, da ga je skoraj zadavilo, in Peter se je zbudil. A pritisk na vratu ni odnehal. Hotel je prižgati luč, toda roka mu je bila tako nenavadno trudna in onemogla, in v sobi je zdajci začutil čuden duh. Krzneni ovratnik na njegovem vratu se je mahoma premaknil in Peter se je zavedel, da je to Muca-maca. Nu, kaj je pa ta hotela sredi noči? S težavo se je vzravnal in prižgal električno luč in tedajci je vedel, kaj je bilo: plin! Postavil je mucko na tla, se opotekel k oknu in ga na stežaj odprl. Hitro je nekajkrat globoko zajel čisti zrak. /.daj mu je bilo že malo bolje. Kakor hitro je mogel, je stekel k spalnici staršev, stresel očeta za ramo in zavpil:	“Plin! Plin! Hitro!”
Oče je skočil v kuhinjo in videl, da je bila glavna pjinska cev odprta. Zaprl jo je in očitajoče rekel materi: “Plinsko pipo si pustila odprto! Vse stanovanje je polno plina. Če se Peter ne bi bil zbudil, bi bili zjutraj vsi mrtvi!” “Kako si se zbudil?” je vprašala gospa Melavčeva Petra, ko je spet ležal v svoji postelji v prezračeni sobi. Peter je povedal svoje sanje o krzneni ovratniku, kako se je pozneje izkazal za Mu-comaco, ki ga je bila prišla budit. “Zdaj menda ne bosta več nejevoljna, da sem prinesel mucko domov?” se je zasmejal Peter, ko je končal pripovedovanje.
Gospod Melavec je vzel Mucomaco v naročje in jo prisrčno pobožal. Gospa Melavčeva pa je zmajala z glavo in rekla:
“Ne, zdaj gotovo ne več! In jutri naročim mlekarici, naj nam nosi odslej četrt litra mleka več za Mucomaco!” (“Mlado Jutro.”)

ISTO bowed low before the Fairy Printess and said:
“Your Majesty,” in his high, piping voice, “methinks I have a case that will interest thee today. ’Tis of a little girl—they call her Nancy—with bright, golden curls and fair blue eyes, who yet hath a heart that needs must be unlocked to love and kindness. A pretty child, Your Majesty, and one strangely selfish and unkind.”
“Ah, ’tis well spoken, Misto,” said the Fairy Princess, rising from her silken couch and coming to the edge ot the beautiful marble porch. “Thou needst not longer kneel. Of a truth, it pleases me much to hear of such a case. My guardianship of the Keys to Human Hearts rests heavily yet pleasurably upon me, as thou knowest.

But, all the same, she suddenly felt minded to go to the nursery and i see how the little girls were getting along. Besides, even had she seen Misto—which she couldn’t because of his invisible cloak—she wouldn’t have j recognized him.
So, at precisely this moment, Mother came into the nursery.
“‘Look what Bertha bringed me!” cried selfish Nancy, eating away at the ice cream.
“My, wasn’t that nice of Bertha!”! agreed Mother. And then she turned to the little visitor. “Bertha,” she asked, “did your Mother give you this '■ to bring to Nancy?”
“No’m,” she replied. “I broughted it at the candy store.”
“Where did you get the money, Bertha, to buy it? Did your Mother give it to you to buy the cone for I Nancy?”

THE LOWLY FRESHMEN
BAKED MEAT BALLS
IT was all so new and so strange. And Nick Chew was not ashamed
to admit—to himself—that he was longing for home and mother. Though there were several hundred boys in Highpoint Academy, he had never in all his life felt so lonely. And, somehow’, the place didn’t seem at all as he had pictured it, when his father had told him a few short weeks ago that he , could go to Highpoint for his preparatory work for college.
And npw Nick had been at Highpoint a whole week and it seemed a very dreary, unkindly place. Truth to tell, the trouble was with Nick, not with Highpoint; for he was a lonely freshman, and had not as yet got into the spirit of the school and become a part of it.
The upperclassmen— particularly Sophomores -looked boldly at the poor Freshmen and grinned as much as to say, “You just wait until things settle down a bit—we’ll teach you a few things!”
Fortunately for the Freshmen, they were busy most of the time and had but

“Wouldn’t you li.ke to give Bertha some of your chocolate caramels, Nancy?" asked Mother, as she finished fastening Nancy’s dress. “She has just come to spend the afternoon and I told her to wait in the nursery until 1 had finished dressing you. 1 know Bertha likes carAmels.”
Nancy shook her curly head. “No-o!” she whined.
“They’s my caramels an’-an’-an’ Bertha tant have none! I wants them all myself, I does.”
Mother looked at her daughter sad(y. “My, my, Nancy,” she said sorrowfully, “all those nice caramels and you won’t give little Bertha one—not even one?” Again Nancy shook her head. And again she answered “No-o-o!”
“I am quite sure," urged .Mother, “that if they belonged to Bertha she would give you oh, lots of them.”
“I don’t care! I wants them all myself!"
“Very well,” said Mother. “Only, I’m afraid my little girl is very, very selfish. Runs in and see Bertha now.” Nancy hung her head a moment, then shook it and tripped lightly into the nursery.
“Hello, Bertha,” «she said by way of welcome.
“Hello, Nancy,” answered the little visitor politely. “My Mother says I may play wif you a whole hour. An' see what I bringed you! Dess what it is?” She was laughing, holding something behind her back that Nancy might not see it.
“Oh, goody!” cried Nancy. “Some pin for me? I dess it’s a—a—a new jack-ball.” And her eyes lighted hopefully.
“No. ’Tain’t a ball,” said Bertha, hei little face expressing the surprise sht felt that Nancy should have expectec such a nice present.
“Den—den—said Nancy, thinkinj hard, “den it’s a—a box of ice cream. Oh, is it?”
Again Bertha shook her head; but this time she smiled. “You is gettin’ warm, Nancy,” she-whispered. “Warm" meaning, you understand, that while it wasn’t a box of ice cream it was something like a box of ice cream.
But Nancy’s patience was gone bv this time. “I div’ up! I div’ up! I div’ up!” she cried. “Tell me what it is, Bertha! Div’ it to me right away! My Mother says I mustn’t be teased!” “It’s—an ice cream cone!” said Bertha, bringing her hands from behind tier back and exhibiting a cone filled to the top with nice chocolate cream.
“Um-m-m!” And Nancy smacked her lips. “It’s goody!”
But she never offered Bertha a single taste!

CVETLIČNA PRIN-CEZA
_________
Ko je bil Ivan lansko leto bolan, mu je stric prinesel cvetočo hiacinto. Sladko je dišala kraj njegove postelje in kar razkošno jo je gledati. Ali ko je odcvetela, so jo vrgli v smetarnico in je prišla z veliko drugimi rečmi na smeti-i šče zunaj mesta.
Tam so se igrali siromašni otroci s j črepinjami, se obmetavali s koščki ko-kca in počenjali še vsakovrstne norčije.
; Iznenada je pa Jaka opazil na tleh drobno čebulico. Pobral jo je in vtaknil v žep.
Tema je bila, ko je prišel domov in mati ga je zmerjala, ker je bil tako dolgo zdoma. V siromašni izbi je bilo hladno in Jakec je moral spet gladen v posteljo. “Niti malo veselja ne privoščijo človeku,” je zagodrnjal, preden ga ’ je objel spanec.
Ponoči se mu je pa sanjalo, da se čebulica v žepu Čudno giblje. Na sebi je imela zelen koničast klobuček in je z tenkim glasom govorila: “Dober dan, Jakec, ne bodi žalosten! Tudi jaz sem samo siromašna in majhna, v oguljen plašček odeta. .Toda če mi daš malo vode ali prsti, ti napravim veliko veselje. Zakaj jaz sem cvetlična princesa! Skrivaj nosim v sebi belo cvetlično oblekco polno vonja in lepote. Le k življenju me,.moraš zbuditi, drugače shiram." „(„
Ko se je Jakec naslednjega jutra zbudil,	je takoj poiskal	čebulico.	Kako je
pa	bil presenečen,	ko je na njej res
zagledal nežno'zelen, komaj centime-i	ter	visok koničast klobuček.	Hitro je
i1 šel	po črepinjo, jo	napolnil z vlažno
prstjo in vanj'o vsadil čebulico. Vsak dan je bil klobuček malo večji in bolj zelen. A‘nekega jutra se je razdelil v šest sočnih, mečastih listov, iz njihove ; srede pa je kukal debel, rumenkasto 'ze-1 len palček.
Jakec kaj takega še nikoli ni videl in je bil zelo radoveden, kaj pride zdaj. Pridno je zalival in že nestrpno pričakoval vsako jutro trenutka, ko je smel vstati, da je pogledal, kaj se je novega zgodilo. Tudi palček je rasel in se razvijal. Očividno se mu ni preveč mudilo. Toda iznenada se je razdelil v veliko nežnih popkov. Počasi so nastali iz njih snežno beli zvončki, ki so bili videti kakor da so iz voska — in so širili nežen, sladek vinski vonj, ki je napolnil vso sobo.
“Moja cvetlična princesa živi!” je vriskal Jakec, in tudi njegova mati se je veselila, ko je zagledala krasni čudež.
Morda mika tudi vas, da bi poskusili takole cvetlično prfneeso vzbuditi k življenju? Gotovo vam kdo rad podari čebulico hiacinte iz lanskega leta, ali jo je pa mati kje spravila. Tudi kupite jo lahko. Pa saj ni treba, da je hiacinta bela, tudi modre, rožne in rumene so čudovito lepe. Le potrpežljivi morate biti in jo lepo negovati. Potem se vam mala cvetlična princesa zahvali z vonjem in z lepoto.— (“Mlado Jutro.”)

“Oh, no’m!” Bertha shook her head saily. Her eyes were shining with •eal pleasure. “1	pennies so
could bring Nancy a present."
Just then something perched upon Nancy’s shoulder and took a firm hold ,n a beautiful golden key he was carry-ng - though neither Nancy or Bertha lor Mother could see him or his key.
“Goodness me!” said Mother. “Isn’t t fortunate, Bertha didn’t bring you jhocolate caramels! Because then you ivould have to offer her some of them. But—but—there’s scarcely enough of he ice cream for two little girls, is there? And yet I’m sure Bertha would have liked some caramels. Let me see how many caramels can you buy for a nickel—five, I believe. Now I--”
But little Nancy, her face flushed and her eyes ashamed, was already cut of the nursery and in search of the box of chocolate caramels.
Misto had vanished from her shoulder.
She returned presently, bearing the open box in frortt of her.
“Have some of my caramels, Bertha,” she said sweetly. “Dey’s awful goodv an’—an’—an’ 1 hopes you des’ eat lots of them!”
“There!” cried Mother gaily. “There! Now my little girl is a nice little girl!” * * >•*
Misto bowed before the Fairy Princess.
“Your Majesty,” he said in a glad voice, “methinks little Nancy is cured. With the aid of her Mother and a strange thing that the humans call ice cream cones I found a way to insert the Golden Key in her heart and unlock it. The work is begun. She hath performed her first unselfish act. Methinks the charm will work well until she hersell becomes strong enough to rely on her own good heart.”
“Well done, Misto!” cried the Fairy Princess. “'Tis happy indeed 1 am! And happy thou art, too, I well know. The day is still young, my Misto, so flv | hither and yon and see if thou canst i find another childish heart that needs the Golden Key. Away! God speed thee!”
And Misto straightway flew to-

little opportunity to brood over their unhappy lot. The military discipline at Highpoint was strict indeed; and it was in force from the first note of Reveille at six-fifteen o’clock in the morning until the,lafet,note of Taps and lights out at ten o'clock at night.
Nick had been assigned to a room with a boy named Ben Trout, who was from his own part of the State, but whom he had not known before. Both of them were somewhat surprised when they learned that the furnishings of their room—and the only ones permitted—were two iron beds, one on each side of the room, two straight back chairs, two clothes closets, a rug and a plain pine table.
About the beginning of their second week, the boys woke up one morning and were amazed to find a glaring poster pasted on every Freshman’s door, on trees on the campus and in every available place of vantage. And, you may be sure, they read them anxiously. At the top of the poster, which was printed in red and black ink, was a hideous skull and crossbones: “Freshmen, Beware!”
Then, under the heading “Orders!” the following were found:
“Freshmen shall speak to an upperclassman only when spoken to, and ! shall make no remark without adding ‘Sir’ at the end.
“Freshmen will call, out ‘Honk! Honk!’ when within six feet of turning any and every building on the campus.
“Freshmen are forbidden to chew ! gum.
“Freshmen must not address upper-| classmen by their nicknames, but always as Mr.
“Freshmen are forbidden to sit on the railing in front of Memorial Hall.
“Freshmen must realize at all times that they are the mere dust under our feet—and conduct themselves accordingly.
“Take heed, O ye Freshmen, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest lest ye come into the fury of—
“THE G. O. H.”
An hour later, you may be sure, there were some serious, sobered, trembling Freshmen at Highpoint. Nick and Ben, who happened to be reading from the same poster, glanced around furtively to see that they were not observed and then looked at each other and grinned—a sickly grin.
“What’s G. O. H. stand for?” inquired Nick.
“I don’t know,” replied Ben in a low tone, “but I’ve heard it stands for ‘Grand Order of Hazing.’ ”
“Shucks!” exclaimed Nick presently. “That’s silly! Nobody can make us . obey such stuff as that! We don’t have to submit to it and—”
“Sh-sh-sh 1” cautioned Ben. “There’s a Soph coming this way now!”
The Sophomore came on and grinned at them as he passed. “Do you under- j stand that ?’ he asked, pointing to the j poster.
“Ye-ee-yes!” answered both Nick! i and Ben simultaneously.
“Yes? Yes!” exclaimed the Soph-;
I omore, pretending to be amazed. “Yes - \ |Sir!” they answered promptly.
“Ah! That’s better—and don’t let it happen again!” said the Sophomore, with a grin, as he turned on his heels and went on.
Neither of the boys looked at the other. Each felt ashamed and yet. somehow, they began to feel for the first time that they were beginning to be a part of the school life.
Twice during the day they turned corridors and forgot to “Honk!” And both times two waiting Sophomores stopped them, sent them back and made them turn corners again w'ith the proper amount of “honking” to give warning of their approach. It certainly | did make them feel foolish—particularly when they would “Honk!” loudly before turning a corridor, only to discover that no one, not even another freshman, was in sight!
But, that night, came their first real acquaintance with the G. O. H. Not that they were injured physically, or in any way manhandled; for such hazing was strictly taboo at Highpoint. Just about midnight came a soft but insistent tap-tapping upon the door of their room.
Ben was awake first. “Nick, hey, Nick!” he called out in a whisper. “What’s that?”
Tap-tap-tap!
“I don’t know—somebody trying to get in,” Nick called back softly. “I’ll see.”
Tap-tap-tap! Then a low voice called out: “Open, Freshmen! Open, or we'll come through! Open in the name of the G. O. H.”
For a moment neither boy moved. Then Nick stepped quickly to the door and opened it.
Into the room filed four figures each clad in a sheet and wearing a black mask.
“Close that door! Keep quiet!” commanded the leader in a low, tense voice. And then to one of his assistants, “Snap on the light and wrap a towel around it.”
This done, Nick and Ben were made to stand side by side, at “attention" with their backs to the wall.
“Hearken, Freshmen, Miserable Worms, Scum of the Earth, Vermin; Hearken to the Orders of the G. O. H.,” said the leader in a sepulchral voice. “In case you failed to read these Orders as posted this morning, they will now be read to you—so that you will have no excuse for not obeying them. Hearken!”
Then, in a voice that seemed to come from the very grave itself and that sent hot-and-cold chills up and down the spines of the two freshmen, the leader of the Sophs read the orders, slow'ly and distinctly.
“Beware, Freshies,” he said in conclusion. “See that you keep these orders—or the Hot Cat Club will get you! Back to your beds! Beware!” Then, as silently as they had entered, the white-clad figures withdrew, and presently the two boys heard them tap-tap-tapping on the next door.
“What—what is the Hot Cat Club?” asked Ben, presently.
“Don’t know,” answered Nick. “And I don’t believe I want to.”
“Same here!” said Ben, fervently. “Say, I don’t mind any of these orders except that darned ‘honking’ and—and I can’t act like an automobile to save my life! Can you?”
“Oh, well,” w'hispered Nick in reply, “I guess w’e ought to be glad they don’t make us carry license tags and headlights!”

THE SQUIRREL
Lorain, O.—When I visited my sister a few weeks ago I started to pick some hickory nuts which fell from the two big trees that grew there. Everything was quiet for a while, then I heard some leaves rustling. I knew it wasn’t the wind, so I looked around and there, to my surprise, I saw a squirrel. I tried not to disturb it, but it got frightened and ran up the big nut tree.
Right here I decided to watch the squirrel, if I picked more nuts or not. I sat on the lawn as quietly as 1 could. I saw' the squirrel go to the far end of a branch, pick a nut and run up high. Suddenly it stopped as if it couldn’t go farther, but it turned and went down about a foot, and started to scratch into the tree. Here I knew was its storage house.
In a few minutes he was on the ground again and looked and looked around until he found another nut. This nut was still in its shell, so the squirrel got on his hind legs and w'ith the nut in his paw's started to bite off the outer shell of the nut with his teeth. Before I knew it he was on his feet again and off—this time to a fir tree. Here he sat down and looked around, and seeing no one, started to dig, and how fast he worked. He took the nut out of his mouth and into the hole it went. He scratched and scraped until the nut was covered. Thinking this was not enough, he got a leaf and covered it. It certainly was loads of fun watching him and how he hurried, and how he ran. Soon he was off again, this time at the side of the house, next time across the street and' everywhere, where there were nuts. He even went on the porch and looked in the house.
In the little time that I was there he certainly had at least twenty nuts put away for himself. I just sat there and wondered in how many different places he had hidden his food. How' could he remember all the places he had put them? Would -he ever eat all of them? Wouldn’t they rot there in the ground? Would he ever have enough? Would he never stop and rest? I didn’t see him for a while so 1' went in the back yard, and here he was sitting on a bird bath drinking water. A gray cat came snooping up from behind and started at the squirrel. The squirrel picked himself up and ran as fast as his legs could carry him up the old oak tree, as high up as possible, and looked down at the angry cat. Soon the cat went away and the squirrel want his way.
Then I went into the house, satisfied that 1 knew how hard a squirrel has to work for his living and thanking God that I don’t have to look for my food :n such a manner.

It was worth it because I saw native costumes, heard native songs, saw a mock wedding, etc., that usually take place in Jugoslavia. Heroes of the World War and life in Jugoslavia in general was vividly portrayed. The announcer and singer was George Mar-chan of our Chicago radio hour. Thanks for reading so much of my letter and before 1 close I wish all juvenile members of our Union much happiness, health and contentment. That goes to you, too, Mr. Editor.

THE WICKED STEPMOTHER
“Here, yo,u lazy good-for-nothing!” the old stepmother shrieked at her pretty, young step-daughter, “do you call this place clean?” The old woman’s black eyes, in her brown, wrinkled face, snapped with hatred and a bad temper.
Young Angela Sanga wearily brushed back her golden locks as she looked around. She was worn out with this scolding all the time, but she had enough spirit to reply, “There isn’t any dirt.”
“Of course there’s dirt, what do you know about such things,”’ she put in. “Now get busy, you good-for-nothing, and clean the house in your shiftless ways.”
The neighbors on this street wrould stop to listen and nod and look at each other. They would say, “There goes the old woman’s tongue at it again.” And still others would say, “Poor Angela, how can she ever stand it ?” Arid so it went on day after day like this.
One dav a salesman, who was very wealthy and handsome, came to the village. He was to see that things ran right in this village. He had not been here very long when he heard about the old, hard-tempered stepmother. Although he had never been introduced to Angela, he thought of her as a very beautiful girl.
One day he went down into the village to take a little walk. Not looking where he was going, he bumped into someone. It was Angela. They got acquainted and went out together. Angela and the salesman, Dick Brown, went out riding very often.
One day Dick had announced that he was going to marry Angela. All the people were excited and they all shouted, “We’ll help make the w'edding a great success!” and they all hurried off to their homes ,to prepare things for the great day.
Now the old stepmother never knew that Angela was going out with a rich salesman until Dick announced their marriage. Now she was very sorry and wanted Angela to forgive her for the treatment she had received. She cried until her eyes were red'iand swollen. Angela came home with her future husband, Dick, and was planning to invite her stepmother to the wedding. She did not find her stepmother in the kitchen but in the bedroom crying. The stepmother told Angela her story and said she would never scold her again if Angela would forgive her. Angela forgave her right away.
One more week and Angela would be married. All the peopie'were excited and busy. The stepmother was also busy. She made a three-layer chocolate fudge cake with 21 candles on it. Angela was very proud of the cake, and j so was Dick.
The next	day	they were	married.
After the ceremony a delicious dinner j was served. Now the old stepmother J was very happy and said she would | never be angry again. She never broke her promise because the villagers now saw in her a happy, contented woman.
Angela, Dick and the stepmother lived happily ever after. The villagers said, “What a happy pair of people and how the old woman has changed. I hope they all live together happily.” JULIA PODPESKAR (age 14), No. 20, SSCU, Gilbert, Minn.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba.
I’ve been reading all the stories other boys and girls have written and enjoyed reading them very much. Lately, it seems to me, the boys and girls don’t seem to be writing as much as they used to.
I have also written a story.
THE STORY OF THE WHITE CAT
Hallowe’en! Everyone was happy except the little white cat. No one wanted a white cat on Hallowe’en.
He lay in the dead leaves for a long time, crying softly to himself. At last he decided to make the best of it, so he scampered out to the garden to catch some field mice. After wandering around for a while, he found a companion in his misery. It was a little green pumpkrn, a very little green pumpkin, almost hidden under the leaves. A little green pumpkin' like that was useless Then the white cat had an Idea. He knew a little boy that didn^t have anv pumpkin, not	even	a tiny green one!
He and the green	pumpkin,	w'ith	the
little boy, would go around together and have their own fun. So off they went to the little boy’s house. Then I he little cat meow'ed and scratched at the door until	the	little boy,	who	was
all alone, let	him	in.
When he saw the pumpkin he said, “Oh, Kitty! You’ve brought me a pumpkin?” and he took it in and made a happy, smiling face in it. Then he hugged the little white cat and the little green pumpkin very hard, and they were all very happy.

I am a member of Lodge Zvezda, No. 170, SSCU. Thank you for the check that I received last month. It came in very handy for new shoes.
Oct. 20 was my birthday and I was 12 years old I am in the seventh grade.
1 was a guide to the World’s Fair for the people from out of town. I was to the fair about twenty times and in every building. Hall of Science is the most interesting place to visit and so !s the Firestone company building. The process a tire goes through before it is sold was shown from beginning to end. . Also other uses of rubber was ex-1 hibited.
The Sinclair oil exhibit shows the oldest dinosaurs. There is one model dinosaur that actually moves. In the Ford building is seen the oldest and the newest models besides displays of Ford parts.
Travel Transport building had airplanes, cars, trains and trucks in the show rooms.
After the fair is closed this section will be used for a park.
Best regards to brother and sister members and to Mr. and Mrs. Maynik from Renton, Washington. I was their guide for a whole week.

STAYING ON THE FARM
One day my girl friend and I decided to stay on the farm. We got our things packed and got so excited that we forgot the keys. My sister went into the house and found the keys on the table. She ran after us. It took us two hours to get there because we broke the milk bottle and didn’t have any milk.
First thing we did was to straighten out and sweep the floor. When we got through about 5 o'clock we started supper. We had tea because we spilled the milk, and sandwiches. We did our work and Sat on a rock until 9 o’clock. Before going to bed we made tea again. In the night we put our meat out on a rock to keep cool for the next day, but a cat came and ate the meat. The cat showed up every night after that one.
In the night it would get kind of cold and we would cover ourselves with blankets. Every night after that we had the stove burning.
Every day my brother brought us milk for coffee and that was very nice of him. For meals we ate green vegetables and for entertainment we had a phonograph. We ti>ok short walks on the road and visited people living nearby.
We had company almost every day. My brother and his boy friend came one afternoon. We told them to get us water from the neighboring well. They said they wouldn’t go unless we gave them something to eat. We gave them a quart .of coffee and one-half loaf of bread. After they were through eating they took the thermos jug pnd went for the water. It took them a long time, so we decided to see urhat was detaining them. When we came to the well we saw that the water was dirty. We laughed so hard that we started to call them “Thermos Guys.” So we had to go to a house near by for our supply of water. We handled our water carefully. That night we didn’t sleep until late because there wrere so many wasps We left the next day, still wishing we could have stayed longer. We hope we can stay longer next year.

DEAR EDITOR:
We certainly got a good scolding from you in last month’s issue, and w'e deserved it 100 per cent. No doubt all juvenile members have some kind of alibi for not having enough interest in the juvenile section. I always want to write in Slovene, but my mother was working, and as I couldn’t get any help that was out. Now here I am with a little Hallowe’en poem called the Goblins.
GQBMNGS
I’m not afraid of goblins—I should say, You can’t scare Sam and me that u'ay. Do you know what goblins are?
I They’re awful things Dressed in black and white; they don’t have wings,
But they can fly right through the ceiling.
They have long arms and long claws, and when
They grab a fellow, they fly away before you have Time to yell, and you don’t come back no more.
Most girls are afraid of goblins;
Sam and me are not, because I’ll tell you w'hy.
You see the graveyard yonder on the hill ?
Well, Sam says: “Say, Bill,” Sam calls me Bill,
“Let’s go hunt for goblins.” So we did. ’Cause Pa told us how goblins hid Round among the tomb stones, creeping soft,
Just waiting to carry some feller off.
One night we sneaked up close and ge-munee,
There stood a white one looking at Sam and me.
We w'eren’t scared—not much.
It just shook its head.
And we said our prayers. All Sam said “If he gets me first, you tell Ma whai happened.”
Then it came a-creeping up. W< couldn’t run;
We felt so weak and shivered so some how.
And then it meow-ed; it was just oui neighbor’s old white cow.

EXTORT, PA DEAR EDITOR AND READERS:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I am 14 years old and in the eighth grade of White Valley School.
I want to write a few words about the dance of the twentieth anniversary of SSČU Lodge No. 116. My father, who is president of this lodge, read the program, which started about 8:15 p. m.
My father opened up the program with words of thanks to everyone present to help celebrate the anniversary. Then came John Korche, organizer of ouf lodge, followed by Frank Yereb and john Korche, who explained how the lodge was organized 20 years ago.
This part of the program consisted of speeches by seven girls. The first girl was Dorothy Korche, who represented the letter “J.” I was next with the letter “S,” followed by Dorothy Skerly with the letter “K.”. Next came Mathilda Jenko with the letter “J,” and with her came Josephine Yelochan, who carried the number of the lodge, which is 116. The “20th Jubilee” was carried by Theresa Kastelec.
We girls sang some songs in Slovene
and English. They were “Hej Slovani” and “Pennsylvania.”
Fourth on the program was Janko N. Rogelj, first supreme trustee, of Cleveland, who made a very good speech, and was presented with a bouquet of flowers by Helen Kastelec.
Fifth on the program was Anion Erzen, president of Pennsylvania Federation of SSCU Lodges.
Sixth on the program was Bro. Alek Skerly, secretary of our lodge for the past 16 years.
I want to thank Mrs. Skerly pr.d Mrs. Jenko for teaching us the songs and speeches. I also want to thank Mr. Rogelj for the carnations that he gave us. We want to thank Mr. Terbovoc for the copies of the sayings that he sent us.
After the program Al Morouse played the good old polkas and everyone sure had a good time. Boy, did those “klobase” and “kislo zelie” go!
Once again we wish to thank everyone lor their kind co-operation. We are all members of SSCU Lodge No. 116. Come on, everybody, join the SSCU and have a good time. Best regards to all.

MORRISVILLE, N. Y. DEAR EDITOR:
I am a faithful reader of the Nova Doba and it certainly is a pleasure to read such cheery letters from the SSCU members. But lately I have been wondering as to just what has become of the juvenile writers, for the numbers of letters from them have dwindled from a large sum to a very meager one, indeed. I came to the conclusion that if no one writes our good old juvenile columns will vanish; so I quickly made : an effort to write a letter to contribute ic our column. Of course, I am hoping ! that it will find its way to its wished-for destination.
Well, Old Man Winter is just around the corner. He donned his first maple blanket on Oct. 27. I detest winter very much and the predominant reason 1 is that 1 do not enjoy walking four ! miles to and back from school in the coldest weather. Of course, I am fortunate enough to receive a ride at different times, but there is many a day below zero when 1 have to trudge ! through the deep snow. The trees look j very forlorn now that they are stripped of their entrapment. The farmers have harvested just about all of their crops and this, too, makes it seem more as though winter is nearly with us again.
This year cabbage and potatoes are very clieap, while meat and eggs are very high. The farmers will make but little profit from their large fields of cabbage and potatoes that they raised. But fate has a hand in things, so the producers have to take what they can obtain for their produce, even though it isn’t much.
This year I am a freshman in high school. It certainly seems good that I have attained that grade, but now the ' problem is to graduate from school. I i am sure that I can do this successfully by working diligently and 1 know that others can have the same success by i following the example that 1 am work-■ ing on also. This is some advice that . I wish to deliver to anyone that is f planning to quit school, “Stick to 1 school if only you have the wonderful s opportunity to continue going to school.” I know only too many boys fjand girls that quit school when they 1 had the opportunity to continue and i gain some knowledge, and they now e repent it. It is such foolishness, al* y though the boy or girl does not realize
- it at the time that they are leaving i school. Only a while later do they see o their blunder, but then it does no good, n I am hoping that anyone having the
- opportunity to gain as much knowledge j as possible will now be wise enough to
e grasp it.

There’s not another as nice as our town;
The trees, the birds, everyone a friend, These things are all from heaven sent.
The village you see so cheery and gay, Between the hills it nestles and lays; Through the dark a warm glow is thrown,
Hospitality through the village is shown.
Leaves are falling all around,
Autumn has come to Gowanda, our town;
Leaves of pretty colors and brilliant hues
Gives everyone the most kindly cues.
Winter is hurrying and is very near,
The North Wind you can readily hear: It has thrown a blanket of white around Gowada, our cheery, gay and hospitable town.

All of us children living in Chicago have something to be thankful for, because for the past two summers we had an opportunity to visit the enormous exhibits on the beautiful Chicago Century of Progress grounds, located along Lake Michigan from 12th to 35th street.

Foi the less fortunate children schools arranged educational tours which cosi each pupil only a few cents. Ther< were so many exhibits free of chargi and others at a cost of only 5 cents, am sure that juveniles all over tin country heard about our fair, but i you didn’t see it you could not appre ciate it even if I attempted to descr.bi it to you.

NAJLEPŠO DARILO
Nadučitelj škrabar je živel na svoja stara leta tik za vasjo v mali a prijazni hišici. Kljub temu, da je že več let užival zasluženi pokoj, je še vedno ljubil otroke. Rad je pokramljal z njimi ter jih ob vsaki priliki seznanjal z vsem, o čimer je vedel, da jim bo potrebno in koristno za življenje. Otroci so mu bili za njegov trud Iskreno hvaležni ter so čestokrat skušali napraviti mu kakršnokoli, četudi še tako skromno veselje.
Nekoč, ko je gospod Škrabar praznoval svoj god, so mu otroci prišli čestitat. Obenem so mu izročali, kar je kdo premogel. Eden mu je dal debelo hruško, drugi rdeče jabolko, tretji• cvetje z domačega vrta, četrti spet kakšno drugo malenkost, ki si jo je izprosil od staršev. In tako so, v redu kakor vojaki, stopali pred godovnika, mu čestitali in izročali darilca.
Poslednji je stopil pred starčka 5i-mek, sin revne gostačice. Le on edini je bil praznih rok. Kje naj revček vzame rože, kje sadje, ko nima nič! S težavo in solznih oči je izdavil nekaj besed ter skuša! hitro odbežati. Toda nadučitelj je bil urnejši. Zgrabil je dečka za roko ter rekel ljubeznivo:
“šimek, z gospodom učiteljem sva govorila o tvojem spričevalu, katero bi tudi jaz rad videl. Skoči ponj!”
Šimek je na to povelje res kar skočil in se presenetljivo hitro vrnil s spričevalom v roki. Gospod je nataknil očala, vzel spričevalo v roke in glasno bral. Ampak kakšno spričevalo! Vseskozi odlično!
Stari gospod je stisnil Šimka k sebi in ga toplo poljubil. Nato se je obrnil k ostalim čestilcem in svečano rekel: “Malčki moji dragi! Hvala vam za čestitke! Tudi vaših darilc sem vesel, pred vsem zato, ker so dokaz vaše hvaležnosti. Odkrito pa pripomnim: najljubši dar mi je pa poklonil Šimek s svojim izredno lepim spričevalom. Otroci, posnemajte Šimka in nikoli ne pozabite, da je najlepši in najdragocenejši dar za vaše starše, učitelje in tudi za vas same vaše dobro šolsko spričevalo!”

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I am in the sixth grade. 1 am sending you a story about n little boy
w'ho visited a farm.
One time a little boy went out on a farm with his mother. He had never been out on a farm before, and everything seemed very strange to him. The sheep and pigs were all very strange. He thought the cow's were the strangest of all because they had such queer things on their heads. He didn’t know what they were, so he asked the old farmer about them. The old farmer said they were horns.
One evening soon after that the cows began to moo and bellow and make an awful lot of noise. The little boy was very much excited. He ran into the house and cried, “Oh, Mother, Moi her, come and see the cows blow their horns.”

DEAR EDITOR:
It is a very long time since I have written a letter. We had some bad luck since my last letter. My brother Charlie w'as struck by a car in June and was badly hurt. He had two skull fractures and was in the hospital 17 days. Even the doctors thought he wouldn’t recover, but we are all thankful that he is better.
We have a dog named Jackie. Jackie i was bit by a rattlesnake at the time ! that there were quite a few snakes in | the neighborhood. He recovered, too.
| I am in the sixth grade and 11 years old. I enjoy school very much because we have a good teacher. Best regards to all.

ROCK SPRINGS, WTO. DEAR EDITOR:
I am writing to win one of the prizes. Please judge my letter a good one. 1 have read in the Nova Doba that you have not been getting letters regularly from the juvenile members.
I know' how' it feels to be disappointed by not getting letters from the juvenile members. This is the first letter I wrote, if I get it finished.
I am thirteen years of age, and attend a local school. 1 like school very much. My best subject in school is “Gymnasium.” This subject is very active and healthful. My teacher is Mr. “Oakie” Blanchard, a good and fair teacher. In school we are now playing volley ball. Two eighth grade classes are divided into four groups. I think this is all for the talk on school and subject.
In our family are ten persons, ranging in age from 7 to 23. My oldest brother has just returned from the C. C. C. camp. He is staying home for good. He has been in the C. C. C. camps for 15 months. I think I will close now, but hefore I do I am sending my best wishes to all the juvenile members and to vou.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is the third time I am writing to the Nova Doba. I wish to thank the Nova Doba editor for the one-dollar check I got. I just don’t know what to do with it. There were two girls and one boy of Gow'anda writing the last time.
There was a dance held Sept. 29 at the Slovene Hall on Palmer St1.; and, boy, was there a crowd. I am glad to say that the Turk sisters and their father of Girard, O., sang very nice. The piano player played the piano nicely, too. The people that were there sure gave a big hand. There were a few other people from Girard that came to the dance that night. They had good music, too. Tvhe Primozich and Vehar orchestra was also good. The people could dance in the upper and low'er

V ljubljanskem dnevniku sem čital poročilo, da so neki dimnik podrli in da ga bodo na novo zgradili. Čudno, da stroga cenzura dovoli objavljati take svetovno važne in razburljive novice.
Veliki protižidovski izgredi so nedavno izbruhnili v mestih Ayasofia in Ayaparaskevi na Grškem. C u d n e g a ni nič, če ljudje v mestih s takimi imeni včasi zdivjajo.

Iz urada glavnega predsednika
Sobrat urednik me je nedavno v kratki notici vprašal, kakšen je odmev mojega okrožnega pisma, ki je bilo razposlano na naše člane pretekli mesec. Ker sem prepričan, da želijo to vedeti tudi mnogi drugi člani naše Jednote, hočem tem potom na gori omenjeno vprašanje javno odgovoriti v našem glasilu Novi Dobi.
Vsi znaki kažejo, da je naša kampanja v polnem razmahu In da je okrožno pismo dobilo dober odmev. Iz mnogih krajev dobivam od naših članov lepa pisma, ki so polna navdušenja za našo Jednoto in za rast iste.
Ta pisma, katera prejemam dnevno, so jasen dokaz, da je glavni odbor na svojem zadnjem zborovanju s sprejeto idejo okrožnega pisma storil pameten in umesten korak. Glavni odbor se je zavedal, da se da z reklamo mnogo doseči in njegovo tozadevno domnevanje se je izkazalo upravičeno.
V dokaz temu naj navedem, da sem dosedaj prejel pisma od štirih naših članov, ki živijo v krajih, kjer ni društev naše jednote, v katerih mi obljubujejo, da bodo ustanovili društva J. S. K. Jednote v dotičnih naselbinah. Upam, da ima še mnogo drugih članov sličen namen, dasi mi niso tega sporočili.
Do danes sem prejel nič manj kot 84 pisem od posame-j znih članov iz različnih krajev te dežele in v vseh teh pismih me člani zagotavljajo največje kooperacije v tej kampanji. 1
Za vzorec naj navedem lepo vsebino pisma, katero sem prejel od sobrata Martina Zakrajšeka v Indianapolisu, Indiana. Pismo se glasi:
“Prejel sem Vaše poslano pismo, prav lepa Vam hvala! Naše društvo “Sloga,” št. 166 J S K J, ima v zapisniku, da naj bo vsak član tudi organizator pri naši Jednoti, in to drži. Tudi jaz se Vam pridružujem za večjo in močnejšo J. S. K. Jednoto. S tem Vas zagotavljam, da sem pripravljen storiti vse, kar je v moji moči, za uspeh te kampanje.”
Bratje in sestre, takega vzpodbudnega pisma je človek res vesel! Iz takega pisma vidno odseva globoka lojalnosti članov do naše organizacije. Iz vseh krajev širne Amerike mi prihajajo taka ali slična pisma. Celo naš večni popotnik Matija Pogorelc se je oglasil iz sončne Cali Torni je in mi jej obljubil vso kooperacijo v tej kampanji, kakor hitro si nekoliko utrdi razrahljano zdravje. Upam, da se to kmalu zgodi.
Sobrat glavni tajnik mi je prinesel iz njegovega potovanja po Pennsylvaniji, Ohio in Illinoisu zelo razveseljiva poročila, ki značijo, da naša Jednota uživa povsod dober ugled in spoštovanje.
Taki so torej odmevi mojega okrožnega pisma, kar me seveda zeld veseli. Zdaj sem bolj kot kdaj poprej prepričan o lojalnosti članstva do naše skupne organizacije.
Naj mi bo na tem mestu dovoljeno izreči prisrčno zahvalo za vse te dokaze lojalnosti do Jednote in navdušenja za njeno rast. Na vsako pismo bi rad osebno odgovoril in se zanj zahvalil, pa mi, žal, čas ne dopušča. Privatnega tajnika pa dosedaj še nimam.
Na delo torej, bratje in sestre! S pridobivanjem novih članov boste koristili sebi z nagradami, ki jih daje Jednota, koristili boste pa tudi vsem novopridobljenim članom in njihovim družinam, ker se bodo za slučaj nesreče zavarovali pri najboljši podporni organizaciji v Ameriki. Prepričani bodite, kot sem prepričan jaz, da ni nobene boljše podporne organizacije v tej deželi.
Za vaše požrtvovalno delo se vam že v naprej zahvaljujem, in ostajam, z bratskim pozdravom,
Paul Bartel, glavni predsednik JSKJ. -----------o------------

Neki statistik je izračunal, da Američani izdajo 27krat več za žvečilni gumij kot za knjige. To je verjetno: knjige si je mogoče izposoditi, žvečilnega gumija pa ne.

V sredini mesta Clevelanda, O., na takozvanem Public Square je nekaka javna govorilnica, kjer lahko vsakdo nastopi kot govornik in razklada kakršnekoli radikalne ali reakcionarne doktrine. Ljudje poslušajo, ali pa gredo mimo, kakor se jim ljubi. Pa je nedavno županu Davisu prišlo na misel, da je govore na tistem prostoru prepovedal, češ, da ne bo trpel komunistične agitacije. Časopisje je protestiralo in uprava lista Cleveland Press je poslala revno oblečenega reporterja, da je na javni govorilnici čital “Izjavo neodvisnosti,” najbolj spoštovani dokument republiko. Policaji sp «a aretirali in odgnali na-policijsko postajo, kjer se je legitimiral kot reporter in dokazal, da je čital “Izjavo neodvisnosti.” Mož je bil seveda takoj izpuščen, časopisje se je norčevalo in župan je dobil tako dolg nos, da je svoj diktatorski ukaz preklical.

Nekateri ljudje so čudovito pozabljivi. V Clevelandu je pri volitvah preteklega tedna neki John Wainright dvakrat volil. Ko so ga aretirali in vprašali zakaj je to storil, je odgovoril, da je pozabil, da je že enkrat prej volil. Taka pozabljivost je sicer neodpustljiva, toda možu se mora šteti v kredit, da se tako zaveda svoje državljanske dolžnosti.
*
Volitve so resna reč, a mene tudi zabavajo, posebno v Clevelandu. Že tiste male plehaste volilne gajbice so tako srčkane kot pečlarski wigwami. Nekakim spovednicam podobni oddelki za posamezne Volilce so i zagrnjeni z rožastimi zastori in opremljeni s svinčniki, ki so priostreni čisto po mišjem patentu. Mizice 'ali pulti, na katerih cenjeni volilci vršijo svoje državljanske pravice, so tudi čisto pečlarske sorte. Umetnik, ki jih jo napravil, je menda deske prinesel s kakšnega piknika in gotovo ni imel oblica, da bi bil hribčeke ponižal in | dolinice povišal. Skušal je to izravnati z barvo, pa mu ni u.spelo; je bila menda že preveč ; razredčena s političnim graf-lom.
Trudil sem se, da bi pred vsa-i kega izbranega* kandidata na glasovnici postavil čeden križ, pa se mi je le parkrat deloma [posrečilo. Volja je bila dobra | in papir tudi, pa kaj hočeš, če je miza taka kot detour kje v gorati Montani. Vsi križi so dobili luknje, nekateri še po dve, oblike pa take kot jih nisem [videl niti v najbolj divjih sa-j n j ah. Še najbolj so bili po-Idobni kitajskim pismenim zna-' kom, deloma pa tudi nemškim

Iz Bridgeporta, O., je prišla družina Martina Kossa; iz Akrona, O., rojak F. Birtich s hčerko. Tam nekje od Bele doline v Pennsylvaniji, kjer so najprijetnejši pikniki in kjer zore najlepše črešnje, je prišla poslušat opero Miss Mary Kokalj. Iz Springdale, Pa., je prišel znani sotrudnik angleške sekcije Nove Dobe, Frank J. Progar. Nekateri izmed omenjenih so pri tej priliki tudi posetili uredništvo Nove Dobe. Škoda, da ne vemo, koliko je bilo vseh zunanjih posetnikov iz bližnjih in daljnih krajev. Vsi, domači in oddaljeni posetniki, so nedvomno odnesli od opere in sledeče proste zabave najlepše vtise in bodo gotovo radi zopet prišli, kadar bo na odru clevelandskega S. N. Doma zopet zasijala j samostojna “Zarja.”
V Conemaughu, Pa. je preminila Mrs. Mary Kapler, stara 57 let, članica društva št. 361 JSKJ. Zapušča sedem odra-ščenih otrok, namreč pet sinovi in dve hčeri. Rojena je bila v Bojanji vasi pri Radoviči.

OKNA IZ KREMENCA
Potapljač dr. William Beebe, i ki se je nedavno v železni krogli spustil 3028 čevljev globoko v morje ob Bermudi, da je mogel opazovati živalstvo morskih globin, upa v bodoče svoja opazovanja nadaljevati v še večjih globinah. Njegova potapljaška krogla je imela dosedaj vdelana debela steklena okna, v bodoče pa bo opremljena z okni iz kremenca. V večjih globinah je pritisk vode silnejši in dr. Beebe se boji, da bi steklena okna takega pritiska ne prenesla. Kremenec pa je šestnajstkrat močnejši od stekla. Za taka okna se mora kremenec v veliki vročini stopiti, nato v brezzračnem prostoru ohladiti, nakar se zbrusi in je tako pripravljen bolj prozoren kol steklo.
svastikam ali kljukastim križem. Dobro je, da je volitev tajna, da nihče ne ve, kdo je (ielal Hitlerjeve križe na glasovnico. Volil sem prav in pošteno, a tfioji glasovi so bili vsi krivi.
Kar na smeh mi je šlo, ko sem pomislil, da take trapaste figure predstavljajo naše dragocene glasove in stopnice, po katerih izvoljenci korakajo v narodni kapitol v Washingtonu. Pred -letom dni smo pa s sličnimi čarodejnimi znaki panali in pokopali prohibicijo. Ponekod se ob priliki volitev streljajo, v Clevelandu se pa na druge načine zabavamo. ' Pač vsak po svoje.	A. J. T.

Pogreb iz Amerike v okolico; Karlovca. V Cvetkoviču pril Karlovcu so te dni pokopali! premožnega rojaka, ki je dolga leta živel v Ameriki. Ta rojak, Franjo Braje po imenu, je imel nenavaden pogreb. V Ameriki je umrl že pred letom dni, njegovo truplo pa so strokovnjaki na poseben način balzamirali, ker je pokojnik odredil, da hoče biti pokopan v svojem rojstnem kraju, odkoder je doma tudi njegova žena. Balzamirano truplo je bilo dolgo časa shranjeno v neki kapeli v Ameriki ter čakalo tam na rešitev vseh formalnosti pri nenavadnem pogrebu iz Amerike v Evropo. Vdova je morala plačati velike vsote in so b a j e stroški pogreba narasli na blizu pol milijona dinarjev.

reprodukcij slik kraljevske rodbine. Na mizi je ležal časopis z dolgo storijo o Jakčevem uspehu. Zdi se, da je Jakac zdaj res postal “nekdo,” ne samo umetniško, ampak tudi družabno. Velika odlika je biti poklican h kraljevi rodbini in biti njen gost en mesec tekom slikanja.
“V Ljubljani sem napravil več posetov. Med drugimi sem obiskal dr. Drago Marušiča, bana, ki je tudi nekoč bival v Clevelandu. Zdaj je visok uradnik. Obiskal sem tudi Rev. F. Zakrajšeka.
“Tekom mojega bivanja v Ljubljani sem živel v velikem pričakovanju nameravane g a o b i s ka Adamičeve rodbine. Njegova rojstna vas Blato je nekako 15 milj od Ljubljane v vznožju slovenskih Alp. Podal sem se tja z železnico, dasi bi mi bil dr. Marušič gotovo rad dal na razpolago oficijelni avtomobil. Toda jaz sem želel obiskati Adamičevo rodbino, ne da bi uradniki kaj vedeli o moji nameri. V železniškem vozu, v katerem sem se vozil, je bilo 19 oseb. Vstopil je orožnik in izmed vseh navzočih je vprašal samo mene za identifikacijske listine. V mali vasici Šmarje-Sap sem izstopil, dasi j e postaja za vas Blato, Grosuplje, tri milje naprej. Tri milje sem prehodil v malo več kot eni uri.
“Dospevši v Blato, sem ugledal skupino treh velikih poslopij. Vprašal sem in pronašel, da večji in bolj ponosni poslopji sta last Louis Adamičevih staršev in njegovega strica. Adamičeva mati me je pozdravila slovensko, ker ne govori nobenega drugega jezika; isto velja za “Lojzove” sestre in brate, z izjemo enega. Ta .je študent v Ljubljani in na mojo dobro srečo je bil takrat v Blatu. Z njim sva se pogovarjala francosko in on je bil moj tolmač tekom mojega obiska pri Adamičevih.
“Dom je jako prostoren. Svo-ječasno je bil del gradu, spadajočega knezu Lichtenbergu, ki ga je prodal pred mnogimi leti Adamičevi družini. Nihče v družini ne čita angleško, torej nihče ni čital knjige “The Native’s Return.” Louisovi materi Mrs. Ani Adamič je nekaka skrivnost vse to prerekanje o knjigi njenega sina, toda se je vdala v dejstvo, da oblasti ne bodo dovolile njenemu sinu vstopa v Jugoslavijo. V Adamičevi družini je deset otrok. En sin in dve hčeri so v Beogradu, Jože je študent, Ante in Stan sta v Blatu, istotako tri hčere, Anica, Pavla in Poldka. Oče, Anton Adamič postaja star, toda mati je videti mladostna pri njenih 58 letih.
“Vpraševali so me o “Lojzetu.” Kako se ima in kje je zdaj? že en mesec niso prejeli pisma od njega. Povedal sem jim, da je zaposlen s pisali jeni in predavanjem. Potem so mi razkazali hišo in dvor.
“Najmlajša hčerka Anica je servirala kosilo. Mrs. Adamič je sedela poleg, ko sva midva z Jožetom kosila. Vsa družina je napravila name vtis dostojanstva, potrpežljivosti in samozavesti. Ni čudno, da je Louis Adamič postal uspešen v Ameriki.”
Gori navedeni izčrpki iz obširnejšega članka Mr. Andrice s> zanimivi za nas iz več razlogov. Prvič, ker to poročilo iz Jugoslavije ni prišlo pod meč cenzure, drugič, ker istega ni napisal naš rojak, ampak tujec, in, tretjič, ker ga je napisal reporter velikega in razširjenega dnevnika “The Cleveland Press,” ki ga poleg rojenih Američanov in drugorodcev čita tudi veliko število Slovencev v Clevelandu in okolici.

CURRENT THOUGHT (older Weather
Cold, wintry days and nights are almost here. Soon we will ”ave to spend most of our time indoors as a relief from excessive c°ld. Long walks, a good outdoor exercise, will be curtailed, a,1d most of our walking will be confined to short distances such as going to and from the street cars in the pursuit of our daily °ccupation. The housewife will do all of her shopping at the barest stores and many a bargain advertised by the downtown store will be passed up, much to the relief of the husband who ^°oks upon most bargains as a source of excessive expenditures.
The fireplace will enjoy lots of company. Members of the family will find the home inviting, much'to the chagrin of the K»’l friend whose lover prefers to stay at his own home instead spending an evening at her house.
Pity the man with an outdoor job. He must face the cold Mnd even in weather that sends the thermometer below zero, though the outdoor man becomes acclimated to the freezing temperature, nevertheless he envies the man with the inside In the summertime it is the latter who considers the former as the most fortunate. It is the law of compensation.
However, the negative outlook upon the wintry days is not shared by all individuals. To some it offers opportunities to IP0 ice skating, skiing, sleigh riding—sports that are pursued Without the accompanying hot sun that discourages many from e,1joying summer sports. To others it means spending evenings ilt home reading books, to study, which during the summer '"on th s is almost prohibitive due to excessive heat.
♦ ♦ ♦
Our lodges benefit by the cold weather. Members are in-Jchned to attend the regular monthly meetings when snow is on the ground, for the meeting hall is not oppressive with the l^eat. Larger attendances are in order, much to the delight and H satisfaction of the officers who find it a trying task to conduct • Meetings during the hot summer nights.
Dances sponsored by our various local branches again predominate the lodge activities, not so much because dancing is fi° attractive to the members, but more because it is a good 6°urce of revenue with which to replenish the lodge treasury. •^s a matter of fact such dances invariably niean work for the officers and some of the members in order to provide entertainment for the guests. Always ready to please outsiders interested enough to attend the lodge's dance, the members in Ufarg| assume the task of making sure that the guests are get-V’ng at least their money’s worth.
Dramas acted by members come second in popularity with the lodges during the cold months. Learning the parts, rehearsals and other details that go into the presentation of a Successful play constitute a real job for the participants. Meas-^■'ed by the time consumed and patience exerted, the box otlice 'eturns hardly compensate the individual member’s effort if fhese were to be paid for their work. But in a group undertak-inK the few select individuals consider it a privilege to take fading parts in the. play, and their only compensation is a good I^'esentation on the night of the play.
So it goes with a group of members whose earnest desire is to do something for their lodge. The local branch organized and maintained for a common good incites the component members to bring out altruism in the undertaking. Profit motive for 0lle or two individuals is lacking entirely.
Multiply the efforts of one lodge by the total number constituting our grand South Slavonic Catholic Union and the resultant product is a national fraternal benefit organization based uPon the principle of helping each other out. A truly clem-°cratic organization.
Although the fall and winter months bring out more lodge activities than do the spring and summer months, the underly-InK idea of the purpose of our SSCU is maintained during the 0l'tirc twelve months of the year. Hence the reason why our ^nion has been steadily increasing in numbers and progressing financially during its history of 36 years. With such splendid '^ducements in the insurance field and its accompanying lodge ilctivilies our Union is bound to live for many years to come. ----------------------------o-----------

CORRECTION OF ERRORS IN THE BY-LAWS
Attention of members is called to two errors so far discovered in the English text of the By-laws. These errors may be found in Section 301 and Sub-section “b” of Section 484.
Section 301 should read as follows:
“Section 301. For the complete and permanent paralysis this Union shall pay $800.00 indemnity, for the broken spine causing complete and permanent disability of the member .15800.00.”
Section 484, Sub-section “b” should read as follows:
“b) Those suffering from hernia, heart trouble, chronic stomach illness, those who ever had or have a venereal disease of any kind, those suffering from acute rheumatism within two years prior to the filing of the application for admission or application for increase, and also those in whose family a member thereof died from tuberculosis within three years prior to the filing of such application for admission or increase. The Union shall likewise not admit applicants Who are pregnant.”
The secretaries of the subordinate lodges are respectfully requested to read these corrections at the next regular meeting of their lodges, and also at the annual meeting in Decent-

Joseph J. Ogrin of Cleveland, O., is the first Slovene to be elected to the post of state representative in Ohio, according to returns compiled from last week’s general election. William H. Boyd (Boich), Croat, was re-elected as state representative in Ohio.
Joseph Veranth, member of Slovenec Lodge, No. 114, SSCU, Ely, Minn., was elected to the office of county commissioner by a margin of 18 votes, indicating a close race.
Supreme
Jugoslav Artists’ Club of
Cleveland has started a school of art in the Slovene National Home. Elements of art in all fields will be stressed in the school, and advanced work, if wanted, will also be given. The teaching staff is composed of members of the club, each one of whom has had art training and practice in their special field. The school does not intend to feature any particular movement in art, but will devote its efforts to the principles underlying it. Those who are interested in art as a cultural project and want to find “what it is all about” will find the school fitting their needs. The school is open to the public.
Cleveland, O.—All members Betsy Ross Lodge, No. 186, JSCU, are requested to attend he regular monthly meeting, 'vhich is to be held on Friday gening, Nov. 16, at Turk’s ilH. Meeeting will begin ^'°mptly at 7:30 p. m.
. A social will follow the meet-lnK- Members and their friends ?'e invited. Since this is one of ho first entertainments of this 'nd to be held for the benefit j members and their friends wing the winter season, we . °lJe each member will make * their business to attend and our affair a success, 'her after-meeting activities ‘o being planned for the fu-, ll e- At present the commit-°o;5 are working on arrange-Jents of interest to the mem-and their friends. In this We expect to stimulate in-
terest among the members and interest outsiders in joining our lodge and Union. Committees are making every effort to select such entertainment as will appeal to our members.
As you all know, year 1934 is rapidly coming to a close. I am urgently appealing to all members that they attend our two remaining meetings of this year. Election of officers will take place at the December meeting; therefore it is up to every member to do his part by being present at this meeting. Contribute your ability to make our lodge progress in every way. Very little -interest has been shown thus far in securing new members for our lodge and organization. So let’s sec if we cannot enroll at least ten new members before the close of the year 1934. Each mem-
ber can at least try to enroll a juvenile during the remaining six weeks of this year.
I almost forgot to mention that for our social we have secured the services of Frank Jankovich, who will keep everyone in a good dancing mood with his melodious music. Admission to the social shall be only 10 cents, which is very reasonable for a good evening's entertainment. Plenty of refreshments will be available for those desiring them.
In behalf of Betsy Ross Lodge, I wish to extend invitations to members of Collin wood Boosters and George Washington Lodges to attend our first social of this season. Social will get under way about 9 o’clock.
Bro. Ernest Starman, member of our lodge, is convalescing at his home. I am urging every member to pay him a visit and cheer him up. Members hope to see Ernest recuperate rapidly and be with us again soon.
I wish to remind every member who is still interested in bowling to be present at the Superior and E. 118th St. bowling alleys next Sunday afternoon. Nov. 18, when the SSCU Bowling League will open officially. I would like to see our girl members participate in this bowling league sponsored by SSCU members of this locality.

Ejc- Members
East Palestine, O.—If there are any people who are not members of any organization, and who are still in doubt as to the feasibility of belonging to a worthy fraternal organization—it should be made possible for them to consult ex-members of an organization such as the SSCU.
We have talked to former members of the SSCU, and not one of them but what had the deepest regret at having to relinquish their membership. Only dire circumstances forced the major portion of these people to do so. And we are willing to wager that when it again becomes possible for these men and women to rejoin, they will gladly do so. They have tasted the fruits of an outstanding fraternal organization and have found them delicious. In joining the SSCU, there is no chance of a loss—it is a sure-fire paying proposition.

Book Festival Nov. 11 -18 al SI. (lair Library
By Eleanor Sunderland, Librarian
Cleveland, O.—Features of Book Week at St. Clair Brtnch Library will include a rack of new foreign books just received. Among these will b^ found some new translations into Slovene—Ostenso’s “Wild Geese,” Dostoevski’s “Brothers Karamazov,” Voltaire’s “Candid,” Undset’s “Kristin Lav-j ransdatter,” Bigger’s “Chinese Parrot,” “Letters of St. Augustine” and Reymon’t “The Peasants.” Of special interest to Slovenes in Cleveland is the book of travel in the United States by Miran Jarc, illustrated by the Jugoslav artist, Božidar Jakac. There are quite a few illustrations of Cleve-
- land. Some of these, with oth-j ers of his paintings, were dis-
- played at the St. Clair Branch i Library several years ago,
when Mr. Jakac was staying in i Cleveland.

Cleveland, O.—Although still in its infancy, the SSCU Bowling League displayed all the earmarks of a seasoned cir-i cuit last Sunday when eight complete four-man teams rolled in | the last preliminary gathering prior to the official openiig date I set for next Sunday, Nov. 18th.
According to present indications the league will consist of at i least eight five-man teams. This is figured on the assumption ! that Lodge No. 37 will enter a team next Sunday, a factor that shall be decided at the Lodge’s meeting next Sunday morning; and coupled with the fact that several members, who will join the league, have not rolled any games with the league thus far, since plans were formulated.
Several important decisions were made at the league’s meeting last Sunday, which are as follows;
Girls shall be given a handicap of 50 pins, instead of 75 pins, as first stated. In the three preliminary sessions held thus far indications point that the girls are not so weak in bowling as the boys figured them to be.
Superior and E. 118th St. Alleys were accepted as the official alleys of the league.
The cost to each member entered in the League shall be 60 cents, including prize money.
The eight members rolling highest scores thus far shall be appointed captains of the teams. Officials will meet sometime during this week to select captains and arrange teams so that strong and weak bowlers will be equally distributed.
John P. Lunka, president of the League, expressed high hopes for the circuit, and appealed to the bowlers for strict , compliance to the rules set forth, stressing especially the importance of punctuality. Games will start promptly at 2:00 p. m. each Sunday afternoon.
Eight girl members have joined the league so far, which means that each team will have one girl bowler according to the tentative line-up. If more girls show up next Sunday, arrangements will be made to place them on teams. The same rule applies to male bowlers.
Enthusiasm ran high at the League’s third gathering. Given an opportunity to meet once a week SSCU members showed a friendly spirit to co-operate in a mutual undertaking.
Officials of the League are extending a final invitation to all SSCU members of Cleveland, CollinWood and Euclid to join the circuit. All members who wish to participate in the League and who have not made known their intentions must be present at the Superior and E. 118th St. Alleys next Sunday, Nov. 18th, before 2:00 p. m. without fail.
Officers of the League are: John P. Lunka, president; Mamie Champa, vice president; Frank “Lefty” Jaklich, secretary: Charles Kikel, treasurer.

Opera “II Trovatore,” given by Singing Society Zarja of Cleveland, O., last Sunday, Nov. 11, was greeted by a record crowd that overflowed the main hall and balcony of the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Ave. Every available seat was taken, with many guests compelled to stand during the performance. Several out-of-town visitors attended the opera and among them were Frank J. Progar of Springdale, Pa., j writer of “A Matter of Opinion” column carried in the No-jva Doba; Joseph L.

Through all the trials and | tribulations this old U. S. A. of ours has encountered during the past months there has sounded a most encouraging and optimistic note. Those who have suffered most from the depression, drought, and strikes have with few exceptions shown no disposition to quit because the cards seemed stacked against them.

Everythin’ and Nothin’
^dlONUMiVJ
Gowanda, N. Y.—Due to the inability to find suitable orchestras aro.ind these parts, the Pathfinders have had to change the date of their annual fall dance. The dance, however, will be held on Wednesday evening, Nov. 28, which falls on Thanksgiving Eve. As 1 believe eve r y o n e will have Thanksgiving Day available as a holiday, there will be plenty of time to rest up after spending this evening with the Pathfinders.
In the upper hall the' music will be furnished by Burton Bruce and his orchestra of Hamburg, N. Y. This orchestra, consisting of high class entertainers, lias been very popular to the dancing crowd of western New York for the last few years. In the lower hall we are glad to announce the engagement of Primozich-Vehar Orchestra to accommodate those wishing to dance polkas. This latter orchestra is very popular among the Slovene people of Gowanda.
We hope that the members will 1 ui*n out 100 per cent. All our past undertakings have boert a success because of the wonderful co-operation of our members, and we are looking for the Nov. 28 dance to go over the top.
Each week we see article* in the Nova Doba submitted by different members of Pathfinders. So fat the writeups have been very good and l hope the nil mberrf will continue their good work.
As Joe Zakaitys mentioned in his article, don’t forget the penny bingo at the next Pathfinder meeting, Nov. 20. Invite your friends to come that evening and bring along that prospective new member.
In connection with our dance on Nov. 28 we need the full cooperation of Pathfinders and w-e know that each one will turn out to do his or her share. Kindly look over the following list and see where you are asked to help in the work. If for some reason you cannot attend, be sure to get someone to take your place.

BY LITTLE STAN
Ely, Minnesota:—It is a misty evening, but don’t worry folks, Hallowe’en is over, and Little Stan is chuckling to himself, Yea, even after what dear old Frankie Progar way up in Pa.,j the home of the rejuvenated Panthers, handed little Stan a little bit of Ha Ha. But Stan just chuckles . . . Ileh Heh . . . We’ll come to Penn later, however.
Right now, a light snow is falling here, and the ground is covered with a white blanket. Soon we all wili be a skatin’ and w’hat not. Aren’t won all down south jealous? You should be. All of us in Ely like this nippy weather. It.sends those thrilling (hills up and down your spinal cords . . . You know the kind I mean . . . Tsk! That’s enough of nonsense for a while . . . and now that I’ve heard the sad news from Penn, where my Stan Progar is recuperating from his operation ... So sorry Stan, really! In the meantime, keep that smile on youah face, and smile with me! won’t you deah! Oh dear, there I go going romantic again! But anyway Stan, I hope you get well soon so that you can join Little Stanley in finishing our discussion which we just started . . . about the Pitt Panther and the mighty Gopher. 1 see your dear brother ir taking me . . . for a ride? Well, we’ll see!
As I said before I’m so sorry for Stan Progar, so I’ll just take it out on his champion, who so sarcastically rebukes me . . . You heard Little Stan’s chuckle way up there in. Pitt? Well, you should have, Little Stan was listening to the game via the air waves, and his chuckle was heard throughout the nation. And about adding ten yeai's to my sweet young1' loving life, Frankie, Frankie, I am a very young man with high ideals, who always takes off ten years from his life instead of adding it. Pretty soon I shall be a sweet child, then, maybe you can take advantage of poor little me. But in the meantime, if you wanted to trap me into a giggle, it did net have the effect you expected! Heh, Heh. Why? Well Little Stun is always chuckling , , , (giggle giggle) In fact, the foot-1 ball season had very little to do with the extra addition of yearsi . . . Say P’rank, what do you; want me to do? Grow older andj older so that I won’t be young and handsome any more? Never, never do that! I still insist however that I actually heard that Panther howl. I wasn’t sleeping, so I know that it wasn’t aj nightmare. Civilization scared i ll the wolves and coyotes out of j Ely a long time ago so it couldn’t have been that noise. I might niso add that my chuckling was h.:ard throughout the nation, via the Nova Doha Heh Heh . . . and that added excerpt from the di-;>;. .;t must have been written by Grt hair McNamee . . . Even he makes mistakes sometimes! But I must add that Pitt came through in great style against Notre Dame, so cheerio Frankie. Maybe they’re all right after all!
And now for some local news! Election was held here last Tuesday as it was all over the country. Well, Joseph Veranth, our member from Lodge Slovence, won -i close decision from Martin Gunderson by the scant margin of 18 votes. Little Stan was a busy reporter then . . . so busy that a lot of his most precious mail went unanswered, but I will make up for lost time . . . Then way from Pullman Washington we have a bit of flash news that John Grahek, local boy athlete, is going big playing end for the Washington State cougars. John played for the Rangers basketeers here be-
sides playing for the A’s baseball team and high school. Hooray for Johnnie!
And now that Arrowhead-Rangers dance where Ty Tyson played excellent music for the grand occasion . . . the only thing was that the crowd wasn’t as big as expected . . . but that’s nothing, it was great music and everybody had a good time . . . that is the most important thing anyway, wasn’t it? 1 mean isn’t it!

WHAT YOU ARE
Write down what you think you are. Multiply this by what your flattering friends say you are, then subtract from this what your enemies declare you are, and finally divide your total by what you really are. The remainder should be enough to convince you to start all over again with a firm determination to be more than you are.— Federal Record.
TciKe Things as They Come
Submitted by Doris Sternisha, No. 222, SSCU, Gowanda, N. Y.
It’s great to know, and it will always show Whether you’re a man or a bum;
But don’t sit and pout, just step out And take things as they come.
Don’t sit and wait, it may be late This task you’re dreading to do.
If it’s to help another, think of a brother Who’s bound to be helping you.
The sm’t'es in return will make you , yearn For more tasks like the one you’ve done.
Please don’t be slow, be on the go And take things as they come.
Laugh and smile; make life worth while.
Then the race with life is won.
You’ll be welcome here with shouts of cheer;
You’ve taken things as they’ve come.
Stresses Oath and Duty • Taken by G. W. Members
Cleveland, O.—This article is in the form of an open letter to all members of George Washington Lodge, No. 180, SSCU.
A little over a week ago our secretary, Anna Jak-lich, sent out questionnaires on post cards to every member of the lodge. Every questionnaire was intended to be answered and returned before the next meeting. Do you know' that only one out of four members answered and mailed back the questionnaire, which was intended to find out why we don’t have better or perfect attendances at our meetings. Do you realize it costs money to hold meetings, and we know' it is worth the price if EVERY MEMBER attends. The members that didn’t answer the questionnaire should do so before the next meeting. Above all, be on hand for the election of officers. I cannot stress too much importance on this subject so 1 will quote a few lines from the “Ritual of the South Slavonic Catholic Union.”
“Is it your serious intention to become a member of our lodge and of our South Slavonic Catholic Union?” You replied “Yes” when you wreie accepted into the lodge.
Do you recall the oath you swore to when you were initiated? If you do, or don’t, I will give you the opportunity to acquaint yourself with it again.
“I swear that I will respect and obey the constitution and by-laws of the South Slavonic Catholic Union, which are now, or may later on be in force. I swear that I will always defend the honor of our lodge and of the Union. I will use all my ability for the benefit of the lodge and of the Union that they may reach the highest degree of success and advancement. I will always propagate the brotherly love, impartiality and equality. To the fulfillment of these duties I pledge myself solemnly that I will do all within my power to become a good member of our splendid South Slavonic Catholic Union.”
This oath stands as long as you are a member in our lodge and Union. It is within your power to attend the regular monthly meeting of our lodge. So make it your duty to be present at the next one. Even if you are getting married on that day yo.ii can still bring your wife or husband along. All the membeis that did not attend our last meeting will be visited shortly by those present to hear w hat alibi absentees have to offer.
It any ot the Happy-Go-Lucky Lodge officers of Bar-bertbn, O., read this article, I want to take this opportunity to say that we appreciate your
invitation to your dance on Nov. 24, and we will be there. If you are going to have beer, please save us some. Heh, heh!
I want to say a few' words about the splendid letter our Supreme President Paul Bartel sent out to the English-speaking members. The facts, explanation and appeal to the present membership campaign was most impressive, and especially so since this is the first time a letter of this kind was ever sent out bji a supreme president.
I understand that there may be a complete change in our officers for the coming year. It is my intention to run for the office of secretary, inasmuch as the incumbent has other plans for the next year.	,

CLEVELAND, ().
DEAR EDITOR:
Thank you very much for the dollar check you have sent me. It was a big surprise. 1 am sending you another
story.
THE DISHWASHERS
Jack and Jane were two happy members of the Brown family. They were very ušeful around the house. Their home was always clean and tidy with the help of Jack and Jane. They enjoyed washing dishes better than any other way of helping their mother. They always sang a little song they had made up.
We are the dishwashing Fairies,
We don’t grant wishes,
And we don’t tell stories,
But we help mother keep clean the. dishes.
The pots and pans we scrub,
We make them look shiny and clean. The dishes we tub, rub, rub,
When we’re through no dirt can be
seen.
W'e make the dishes shine like new, And iook like a beauty;
As members of the dishwashing crew, This is our duty.
They made it a habit to wash the dishes and sing their song. This did not last long, for one night something happened. Instead of going to bed and fall asleep they locked themselves in their room and began packing their clothes.
Jane packed all her belongings that she wanted to take along in her suit case. Jack did not have a suit case so he put the things he wanted to take along in a cardboard box. Alter they were through packing Jack got a piecc <:f paper and pencil and wrote a note to his father and mother.
Dear Papa and Mama:
We ran away ’cause we got tired of washing dishes; we don’t want to wash dishes anymore.
Goodby.
Jack and Jane Brown.
The note was pinned to their bed spread with great care so their parents
would be sure to get it. Jack upene ihe window and helped Jane climb out. He handed her the suit case and box Then he climbed out after her. Together they sped through the darkness, for a while they ran and for a whi e they walked. A great forest was soon reached. Leaves that had fallen from the trees served as a bed. It was not very much later when they fell asleep. The howling of a wolf soon awakene them. It took a long time for them to fall asleep, but they succeeded in doing so. Morning had come, the sun shone very bright down 011 the children. The chirp of a robin told ihe children that it was daytime. Half asleep the chi -dren walked on.
A few berries served as their breakfast. The children had seen many kinds of plants, flowers, birds, *rees\' animals and insects. They enjoys this, but didn’t enjoy the sun’s rays as they became hotter and hotter. dinner time the children became very hungry. No food 'could be found, so they decided to go home.
The table had just been set for supper when Jack and Jane reached honic. Their places had also been set because Mrs. Brown knew that the children would come back in time tor supper-Jack and Jane ate the hearty supper very quickly, for they were Very hungry. Never again did they decide ,0 run away and walk in the hot sun looking for food and a place to rest. Wash-ing dishes was not as hard, but just I'ke play compared to looking for food and a place to rest.
Best regards to members and editor of the SSCU.

FAYETTE CITY, PA-
DEAR EDITOR:
Your article, “To Our Juveniles,” certainly did make me feel a little guilty-It seems as if the truth really hurts-I agree with you that the young peopl-should take more interest in the young people’s section. From now on I w’il try to do my part in helping to build UP cur section.
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I will tell you a few thing* about myself and my home town, am a sophomore in high school. M hobbies are various: hunting, fishing and nature study. In the country there are many rabbits and fur-bearing a*11’ mals. Every fall the boys from the city spend their holidays and weekends in the country, hunting and traP" ping. I myself have a few oppossum* arid muskrats to my credit.
There are a few Slovene and Cron tian people in my vicinity. The P°Pll‘ lation is chiefly made up of the Engl'*-1 people. The SiSdJ have their meetings in Monessen. I like to go to the mee-ings with my father. It is interesting to hear the people talk 011 diKfereiit topics. I am very glad that there is place here where people can go 311 talk to their heart’s content. It seen15 as if I never tire of hearing about fh old country and its peoples.
We have a few historical places 111 Fayette County, such as Washington Mill, Braddock’s Grave and Fort Nee essity.	.
I hope I am not taking up too nuic 1 time.
Here’s hoping for lots of success!

To je bilo v mesecu maju 19:«. Tožnik poroča, da f s tem, da se je lažnjivo poroča- 1 lo o članici Frances Riddle, ki > je njegova hči, se je osramotilo 1 ne samo članico samo ampak t vso njegovo družino. Porotni 1 odbor je na podlagi preiskave 1 in predloženih dokazov in iz- ‘ jav prišel soglasno do sledečih 1 sklepov in razsodbe: 1. Dokaza- 1 no je, da je bila članica Fran- š ces Riddle po krivici osumljena, i 2. Dokazano je, da je nekdo < neresnično poročal vrhovnemu zdravniku naše Jednote in obdolžil članico nečastnega in nepravilnega dejanja, ni pa zadostnih dokazov, da bi bil to in j tako poročal obtoženi. 3. Ker ni zadostnih dokazov, da bi bil pri tem kaj zakrivil obtoženi Carl Jarac, se istega ne more priznati krivega ali ga kazno- 5 vati kot zahteva tožitelj in se t ga vsled nezadostnih dokazov l oprošča vsake sumnje in krivde, j Anton Okolish, Valentin O- 1 rehek, Rose Svetich, John 1 Zigman, porotniki JSKJ. t

V CHICAGU, kjer se je konci oktobra zaključila svetovna razstava, se resno bavijo z načrtom, da bi razstavo v omejenem obsegu obnovili in obdržali za stalno. Ako bodo mestni zastop, komisija za parke in odbor razstave prišli do ugodnega zaključka in sporazuma, se bo razstava obnovila prihodnjo pomlad.

Člane društva št. 37 JSKJ vabim, da se mnogoštevilno u-deležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršita v nedeljo 18. novembra. Med drugim bo prišlo na dnevni red seje, če se naše društvo pridruži kegljaškemu klubu, katerega so organizirala angleško poslujoča društva J. S. K. J. v Clevelandu. Vsi, ki
Priprava za vseslovanski koncert je že do sedaj znatno poživila naše zbore, in se že zaradi tega izplača., Odslej bomo tako zaposleni z drugim delom do koncerta, da najbrž ne bo več mogoče misliti na dopise. Neposredno pred koncertom, ki se bo vršil v nedeljo 9. decembra zvečer v Chicago Civic Opera Hall, bo objavljen celotni program.
Pridite poslušat in potem povejte svoje utise o eni in drugi stvari. Potrebno je, da se odločite in si zasigurate vstopnice takoj, kateri jih še nimate. Zglasite se naravnost pri Miss Evelyn Fabian, 1932 W. Cer-rnak Rd., ali pa si jih omislite posredno po pevcih “Lire,” “A-drije” in “Slovana.” — Za publikacijski odsek zveze U. S. C. S.:—

VSESLOVANSKI KONCERT. — Takoj <h1 začetka je bilo odločeno, da nastopijo vse posamezne skupine samo s pesmimi “a f-apella,” to je brez sprem-ljevanja kakih instrumentov. Tudi morajo vsi znati svoje pesmi na pamet in jih peti brez not. Dovoljene so samo zboro-ve pesmi, nič solo nastopov. Vsaka skupina lahko poje 10 •minut ali manj, ne pa več.
V skladu s temi omejitvami so si slovenski zbori zbrali dve pesmi: Ned vedlo vo “Nazaj v planinski raj,” in Grbičevo “Po zimi” (“Le padaj, padaj beli sneg”). Tako je bilo to pot najbolj pripravno na vse strani, in obe pesmi donita res prijetna za vsako uho; Grbičeva je vzeta iz “Novih akordov,” je zelo živahna, in zahteva od zbora precej gibčnosti. Pesem “Nazaj v planinski raj” je pa vsakemu znana, iri ne potrebuje nobenega komentarja. Naše še bolj pomembne skladatelje bi bili radi predstavili, pa nismo mogli najti ničesar, kar bi bilo bolj pripravno za to priliko in naše razmere obenem. Mislili smo tudi na naše narodne pesmi; teh imamo veliko, toda po večini niso izdane v taki obliki, da bi bile primerne za resen kbneertni zborov nastop, ali pa ne pridejo v poštev zaradi zgoraj navedenih omejitev; druge zopet so bile zadnje čase tolikokrat na naših programih, da je boljše za nekaj časa jih spraviti v omaro.

Nekateri prorokujejo, da bo naše društvo sv. Janeza Krstnika, št. 71 JSKJ, imelo na večer 24. novembra veliko veselico, to v proslavo tridesetletnice ustanovitve društva. Kako velika bo ta veselica, bo seveda odvisno v prvi vrsti od članstva samega, namreč v kakem številu bo veselico posetilo naše članstvo. Seveda pričakujemo tudi poset drugega slovenskega občinstva, toda poudariti je treba, da društveniki so prvi, od katerih se pričakuje, da ;o na mestu.
Ne smem pozabiti omeniti, kako težko je iti na veselico s samo vstopnico v žepu, če ni drugega cvenka ?raven. Tako so mi povedali člani, ko sem jim vstopnice delil, in jaz smatram, da take opombe ne smejo ostati tajne. Bilo je še več drugih pripomb, pa najbolj prikladna se mi je zdela opazka, da kadar društvo zopet kaj podobnega priredi, naj da, poleg vstopnice, še par “copakov” vsakemu članu; oziroma vsaj tistim, katere so moderni stroji pognali na cesto, da ni več zaslužka zanje pri najboljši volji.
Dandanes je res hudo za ta ubogi obstanek. Bijejo se zanj narodi in zanj se borijo tudi posamezniki. Vsak si prizadeva, da bi plaval na površju, ker je pač tak sistem na tem civiliziranem svetu: kdor več, ta več, kdor prej, ta prej! Na eni strani ogromna mrtva bogastva, na drugi strani pa živa siromaščina!
Pa pojdimo nazaj na tridesetletnico. Tridesetletnice se ne obhajajo vsake kvatre, zato c-ruštveni odbor apelira na članstvo v splošnem, da naj se u-deleži proslave tridesetletnice vsak, komur je le mogoče, da se medsebojno malo izpoznamo. Ko bo društvo obhajalo 60-let-i.ico, bodo pa drugi, ki za nami prihajajo, ravno tako agitirali, češ: “Pridite skupaj, da se malo skupaj pozabavamo, kajti šestdesetletnica ni kar tako!” Približno tako bodo vabili, seveda, ako se vladni sistem v tem času ne predrugači. Ampak, kdo ve, kaj bo čez trideset let!
Naj še omenim, da asesment bom pobiral v petek 23. novembra zvečer v Slovenskem domu in v nedeljo ob 9. uri istotam. — Na svidenje na večer 24. novembra v Slovenskem domu na Holmes Avenue!

nemu človeku dobro stori petje, posebno pa še, če je petje v njegovem jeziku. Slovenska pesem nadkriljuje vse, prav zagotovo pa ameriško ali angleško petje.
Mi imamo nedvomno največ užitka od domače slovenske pesmi, pa če tudi jo včasih po štajersko zasukamo. Ako je pa ubrano petje, potem seveda se radujemo in z zanimanjem sledimo programu dotičnega zbora.
Moški pevski zbor “France Prešeren” ima v mislih v nedeljo dne 18. novembra v S. N. P. J. dvorani nekaj predstaviti, kar bo vredno, da se potrudimo v dvorano. Vsi organizirani zbori imajo mnogo truda in stroškov za vzdržavanje istega. Niti enemu posameznemu članu ničesar ne koristi, to ve vsakdo. Toda veselje do petja in vesele družbe ter medsebojnega spoznavanja in prijateljstva drži “France Prešerna” skupaj, dokler bodo njegovi prijatelji, podporniki in udeleženci koncertov gmotno podpirali ta delavski zbor.
Tokrat ima “France Prešeren” več novih krasnih pesmi na programu in eno od teh bodo nam celo “zaplezali.” Well, pevovodja profesor Fran Kubina je mnenja, da ni nobenega vzroka, da bi se “Prešeren” ne povzpel še na višjo stopnjo pevske umetnosti, saj ima jako dobre pevske moči, med njimi mnogo mladih fantov, kateri se točno in redno udeležujejo vaj. Vse to nam jamči, da je v resnici vredno, da posetimo njihov koncert. Vsi dosedanji “Prešernovi” koncerti so bili uspešni, udeleženci so bili vedno zadovoljni, ter smehljaje so se pozno v noč vračali v njihova domovja.
Na odru bomo tudi videli i'1 slišali našega starega znanca profesorja A. Kvederasa z njegovim delavskim mešanim zborom “Crvena Zvijezda.”
“Prešeren” bo h koncu uprizoril igro, pri kateri se bodete od smeha jokali. Da bodo Johnny in njegovi fantje igrali med programom in zvečer za ples je menda že vsakomur znano. Benchanov “Trio” bo pa igral zvečer v spodnji dvorani.
Vstopnina je 35c v predprodaji, zato tako nizka, ker se zbor zaveda, da je še vedno depresija in tako omogoča poset tudi tistim, kateri težko zmagujejo v vsakdanjem boju za obstanek.
V nedeljo 18. novembra je “Prešernov” dan, dan petja, zabave, plesa in veselja. Pridite in ne bo vam žal!

Človek, kateri že dolgo tepta ta. še vedno neurejeni svet, se čudi, kako različne stvari nastanejo in polagoma zopet poginejo. Šege in navade so nastale in zopet izginile v pozab-ljenost. Čarovništvo, prerokovanje, vse je bilo v modi in v zabavo večini. Tudi praznovernih ljudi je vedno manj. Vse, kar se rodi, mora tudi umreti. Vse drugače je pa s petjem. Ljudje so peli in bili veseli, in peli bodo, ko nas več ne bo. Menda ga sploh ni človeka, da bi mrzil petje in godbo. Še bol-

(Nadaljevanje)
Razburjenje, ki so ga prinašali občinski svetovalci s sabo v gostilno, je bilo torej umevno; bilo je upravičeno in tem večje, ker ni nihče vedel, ali in kaj bi bilo ukreniti vpričo novemu položaju, in tudi občinska seja v tem pogledu ni prinesla nič jasnosti.
“Jej, jej, je rekel dacar, ki je bil nekaj let preslužil pri orožnikih, “meni se je vedno tako zdelo, da ne bo nič s sodnijo. Mu-hobor ni pravi kraj za sodnijo in ljudje niso pravi. Da, v Lučah, tam, tam! V teku enega tedna smo imeli kar tri mrliče, tako sc se klali fantalini, sakramiš! V nedeljo dopoldne kar pred cerkvi-jo vpričo nas orožnikov so se sprijeli z noži, zvečer se pa sploli ni nihče upal iz hiše drugače kakor z gnojnimi vilami. V Lučah lam je imela sodnija dela! Dva sodnika, pa kakšen dan oba hkratu na komisiji, toliko je bilo samo ubojev in težkih poškodb Kaj bo Muhobor! Zaradi par ubitih šip ali par ukradenih češpelj — se mi je koj zdelo — ne bodo ustanavljali sodnije! ’
Dacarjeve besede so v živo zadele navzoče Muhoborce — bridke so bile, ali resnične! Sledil je molk.
Slednjič se je dvignil Krunoslav Batič in pristopil k dacarjevi mizi.
“Oprostite, gospodine dacar, jaz ne požnam vseh postav tako dobro, nego jih poznate vi. Jaz sem obrtnik, jaz poznam samo tiste paragrafe, kateri se tičejo mojega obrta. Drugih paragrafov ne poznam, ker jih je preveč. V Beču imajo tiskarno, v oni tiskarni noč in dan tiskajo vedno nove paragrafe — tako mi je pravil gospod, ki je imel v Beču službo pri onih paragrafih. Toliko je paragrafov! Idkdo vseh ne pozna! Zato oprostite, ako vseeno rečem: To so čudne postave! Mirni državljani in pošteni davkoplačevalci, ti ne dobe sodnije, ki si jo žele in jo zaslužijo — dobe jo pa pobijalci in zločinci! Te pravice ne razumem! Jaz vas vprašam, gospod dacar in vse navzoče gospode: Ali se naj drug drugega pobijamo, da bomo vredni sodnije!”
“Glej ga brivca,” je vzkliknil dacar, “kaj se nosiš nad mano! Mar delam jaz postave, mar jaz branim Muhoboru sodnijo? Rajši danes naj jo dobi kakor jutri — če bi šlo po mojem! Toda gole besede, če so še tako lepo sfrizirane in parfumirane, nič ne pomagajo.”
“Prosim, gospod dacar,” je rekel brivec in bil užaljen, “jaz vas nisem žalil!”
“Mar sem jaz vas?” ga je zavrnil dacar. “Kar tožit me pojdite!”
Malomarno jih je dacar izpregovoril te besede, in segel po kozarcu, da poplakne svojo nejevoljo. Kar tako in brez preudarka so bile tjakaj vržene te besede in vendar so baš te besede postale velevažni spomenik onega zgodovinsko-pomernbnega hipa, ko je izredna domu vdana vnema in požrtvovalnost v večno slavo starodavnega Muhobora rodila v restavraciji pri “Pikapolonici” presenetljivo misel.
Vstal je izza mize krojač Kregar, predsednik olepševalne kiopi v koprivah, pogledal je drobno po sobi, dvignil je kazalec desne roke in zategnjeno zažvižgal.
In kakor se to rado dogaja, hkratu se je tudi v vseh drugih glavah zasvitalo kakor od razodetja.
Le nedolžne Slavice se duševna napetost trenutka ni globlje doteknila, nego da jo je gnalo prekiniti pomembni molk z vprašanjem: “Gospod Kregar, en Štefan?”
Kregar je odgovoril: “Le prinesi, da ti ne bo treba vedno letati!”
Ko je Slavica izginila, je tišje nadaljeval: “Gospoda, koliko nas je? Deset! Mislim, da se lahko zanašamo drug na drugega. Ali stvar je važna, še po župana mora kdo. Ti, Aleš, ki sediš najti iže vrat, ti stopi ponj! Reci, njegova prisotnost je nujno potrebna, nič drugega ne reci !”
Aleš, mlad posestnik in trgovec z lesom, ki so vedeli, da malo gleda za županovo Julko, je brez ugovora izginil, druga gospoda pa je ubogala Kregarja, stisnili so se vsi okoli mize v kotu in steknili glave.
Tomaž Iskra, klepar, si je mel roke, jih podrsal po kolenih in potem izjavil: “To smo gadje!”
Kregar je natočil kozarce.
“Toda molčati, prijatelji, molčati! Vse, kar se še zmenimo, strogo zaupno! Drugače se nam vse podere.”
“Kako pa!” je pritrdil dacar. “Jaz vedno pravim: Pri nas se preveč govori. Manj govoriti, več storiti — to je prava pot!” Oglasil se je tudi brivec.
“Gospoda me poznate, jaz nisem tisti, ki mnogo govori. Ako bi jaz hotel govoriti, bi bil že odkraja povedal, tako in tako moramo narediti, jaz sem to znal, pa nisem hotel povedati, da ne bi kdo rekel, da vedno govorim.”
Tako so besedovali v prijetnem razburjenju. Junaška ljubav domorodna jim je polnila razgreta srca in jim delala žejo. To žejo so vrlo gasili, ko je vstopil župan z Alešem.
“Kaj pa je? Kaj se je zgodilo?”
“Le sedi, župan! Slavica, kozarec za župana!” — in že je steknilo omizje glave zopet vkupe.
Zupan je poslušal in pil in čim dalj je poslušal in čim več je pil, tem bolj mu je bila stvar jasna. Rešitev, ki so jo pri občinski seji zastonj iskali, tu je ležala na dlani! Sploh te seje v pisarni —vsem se tako mudi v gostilno, kako se naj kaj pametnega sklene v pisarni! V gostilni, tam se rode misli!
Kar se je pa ta večer v gostilni pri “Pikapolonici” dogovorilo, sklenilo, potrdilo in z vinom zalilo, ni bilo nič manj nego načrt kako se Muhoboru pribori sodnija:
• 1. Uvažuje, da ustanovitev sodnije v Muhoboru ovira zgolj prepičlo število sodnih opravil, je sveta dolžnost zavednega Muli obora, da to število dvigne.
f[ 2. Dvigniti se morajo predvsem kazenska opravila. Kar zmorejo druge občine, zmore tudi prebujeni Muhobor in ni mu treba, da zaostaje v kateremkoli pogledu za katerokoli občino. Tudi za Lučani ne, ki imajo po tri uboje na teden! Navzlic temu pa pričujoči odsek po resnem preudarku v svoj program ne sprejema ubojev, da si v sedanjem važnem trenotku ne nakoplje neljubih zamer in razdirajočih nasprotstev. Pač se pa vsi pričujoči v prid občni koristi svečano zavezujejo, da bodo do preklica po vsaki količkaj zabavljivi besedi razžaljeni in bodo tožili.

Piše Janko n. ;ioge:..i ; V Pennsylvanijo grem zelo •rad. Še rajši pa grem tja, če Ime povabijo. Nič se mi ne zdi I prijetnejšega, kakor sesti na vlak, nasloniti se na okno ter odpeljati se doli k južnim Slovencem v Pennsylvaniji. Iz zazidanega in s tovarnami zastavljenega Clevelanda si človek za-!želi malo dalj, da ni vedno oko (zastraženo z zidovjem; oko se 1 že spočije, če vsaj en dan ne i vidi pocestne železnice, ki se ; 1
, preriva med ljudmi po ozkih cestah staromestja. Če pa se-idiš na vlaku, ki hiti iz severne Ohio doli proti jugu, kjer se pričenja valovita, s holmi in striči pokrita lepa Ohio, potem : se človeku res zazdi, da bi se i izplačalo še nekaj časa živeti ' na tem zveriženem in puklastem svetu. In ko se železnica vpo-1 globi na obrežje reke Ohio, potem človek še le vidi, da zemlja tudi v Ameriki živi v tekočih vodah. Sprememba, ki se 1 nudi človeku v treh urah vož-1 nje, tako blagodejno iri poživ-
■ Ijajoče vpliva na človeka, ka-, kor bi ce pripeljal iz tega sve-
1 j ta na drugi svet. Ko človek iz-
■ stopi v Pennsylvaniji, počuti se 1 kakor človek in pol, ki ima ma-
j lo več življenja kot za en dan 1 in pol; in ko se sreča še z dra-! gimi in iskrenimi prijatelji, po-: tem pa res obraz zažari, da kretnje postanejo mladeniške in ! da vsaka druga beseda pride na
■ dan tako, da je smeha vredna t ali pa potrebna. Well, spre-1 memba je vedno dobra in zdrava.
- Zadnji mesec, 27. oktobra sem bil povabljen od bratskega
■ društva št. 116 v Delmont, Pa., da naj pridem na dvajsetletni-
) to. Povabilu sem se odzval.
- Tajnik društva, brat A. Škerlj i in njegov sin, dober voznik, sta , me čakala na kolodvoru v
> Pittsburghu. Ustavili smo se ):ri našemu glavnemu nadzorniku. bratu John BalkoVecu, po-
i tem pa hajd med Pennsylvania ske doline, dokler nismo prišli do zaželjenega cilja, kjer sem i srečal ženo našega društvenega tajnika, ki je res dobra gospo-' dinja, in še boljša kuharica.
■ | Država Pennsylvania je res ! mična zemlja. Zvezana je s
I
5 cestami kot rdeča oranža s pisanimi trakovi; med trakovi pa s se vzdigujejo pohlevni holmi,
* za holmi grbasti grički in vzvi-
- šene planjave, pod katerimi
■ molčijo zakladi pennsylvanske zemlje. Menda ni niti ene rav-
1 ne ceste v Pennsylvaniji. Zde-
* lo se mi je, da se vozimo celo 1 uro okoli enega in istega hriba,
a nazadnje so mi rekli: Zdaj i smo pa tu . . . Ta pennsylvan-ska zemlja se zdi lika zemlji, ki je vzdihnila proti nebu ter v
> svojem velikem vzdihu zastala pod soncem, kakor bi vedela, da
e v tej zemlji bodo grobovi živih ljudi, in to tudi naših ljudi, o katerih je naš veliki slovenski pesnik zapisal:
Pustil si plug in motiko, v zemljo se zalezel, starec, in križ ti na grobu rjavi in se poveša; sin tvoj zaril se je živ pod zemljo — v Ameriki koplje.. .
Ko sva govorila z našim dobrim in vestnim članom JSKJ, bratom Erženom, o delu v pre-mogorovih, prišle so mi na misel zapisane besede našega pesnika. Zamislil pa sem se še dalje v to zemljo pennsylvan-sko, po kateri hodi toliko naših ljudi, da govori vsa Amerika o njih, ki kopljejo črni iye-mog v znoju in prahu, v senci bele žene in črne zgodovine. Videl sem to zemljo, iz katere sili sok tistega življenja, ki je dobil korenike v rovih črnega dijamanta. Iz teh sočnih korenik so vzrastle prve mladike, ki so dale popolno in stalno življenje našim slovenskim organizacijam v Ameriki. Tudi naša Jugoslovanska jednota ima močno in živo koreniko v zemlji hribovite Pennsylvanije, ka-
teri včasih priznavamo premalo'
\ i ednosti.
0, ja, na dvajsetletnico sem vas hotel popeljati. Smo že i tam. Tukaj vam predstavim i društvenega predsednika, brata Jurija Previc-a, ki v prirojenem zaletu urejuje zadnje priprave napovedane dvajsetletnice. Po njegovem mora biti vse tako, da bo prav. Sin društvenega blagajnika, brata Kerna, že odvija kolač pivskih tiketov. Vse je urejeno, samo ljudje še pridejo.
Tako je minul čas, da nas pokličejo v dvorano, kjer se je vi šil spored dvajsetletnice.
Mi, ki smo vajeni velikomestnega življenja in enakomernih društvenih prireditev, ki imajo le toliko spremembe po svojih obrazih, da se vrše ob različnih datumih, nam programi v malih naselbinah in še v drugi državi, zelo privlačno ugajajo. Tu je sprememba in originalnost, tu stopa na oder zamišljena poosebljenost enega ali dveh ljudi, ki sta, ustvarila nekaj svojega in criginalnega. In prav tako je bilo na tej dvajsetletnici. Prijeten nastop mladinskega oddelka, govor ustanovitelja, predsednika in tajnika društva, vse prav tako, kot si morejo povedati le prijatelji. Vse domače in prijetno, vse V odbijajoči atmosferi pogovarjočih se domov iz pennsylvanskih gričev in dolin. A na odru so sedeli trije člani-ustanovitelji, trije stebri, ki so prenesli težo dvajsetih let ... da bi naš pesnik rekel o njih:
“Pa so možje — kot da se, niso rodili iz matere, kot da goram se iz bokov izvili so:
morali so,, v svet,, in tujina se diči
z deli njihovih rok ; tamkaj v Ameriki, tamkaj v Vestfaliji so nam izginili — več ne doseže jih naše oko . . .”
Ampak praznovanje dvajsetletnice je bilo prijetno in sočutno. Prehitro je minulo. Tako prijateljsko srečavanje je v dobrobit naše Jednote. Človek se čudi ljudem, ki pridejo iz take daljave, kakor je prišel tajnik društva “Veseli Slovenci,” brat ■ Vincent 0Maljavec, iz Central City, Pa., potem moj prijatelj Demshar iz Presto, Pa. Taki ljudje so zlato naše Jednote, katere se mora čuvati in priva-! biti v razpoloženje dobre volje in dela za naš0 organizacijo.
Lepo je bilo tam v Pennsvl-i vaniji, a jaz revež sem se ustrašil pennsylvanskega snega terse prav prijazno nahladil za mo-.jimi rebri in tudi malo okoli [ srca . . . pa sedaj je že boljše r in sem toliko pri moči, da lahko l zopet pridem v vas k južnim i bratom. Hvala vsem, ki ste i tam doli v Pennsylvaniji!

Iz spominov veselega vnuka
Kje so tisti časi, ko sem nedolžno dejal sosedovemu Jožku: “Pridi popoldne k nam; ata in mame ne bo doma, bomo kleli!”
Oh, in tisti, ko me je pobodla krava in so vsi domači s solznimi očmi stali pri moji postelji, meni pa nič bilo ni! Včasi sem se pa moral nekoliko za-dreti, ko me je mati tako sj\ strahom izpraševala, če bom jajčka ali čajčka ali pomarančo, da sem kar lahko jokal in ko je tako lepo gledati, če veliki ljudje jokajo. Samo ded je ohranil mirno kri in je dejal: “Cene, kar zobe stisni, pa te ne bo več bolelo!
“Kako? Saj skoraj nobenega
nimam!”
' Takrat sem se ravno prezo-baval; torej seni bil še majhen in ded mi je dejal, da ne bom nikoli velik, če ne bom vsak dan pol ure do kolen stal v gnoju.
Škoda, da je ded tako kmalu umrl, ker bi me bil vzredil do kakršne višine bi bilo potreb-

no in ni izključeno, da bi me povabili v Ameriko po dolarje, če bi bil pet ali šest metrov dolg. Če bi se pa v Ljubljani j dobil kak mecen, bi lahko ostal tudi tukaj kot prvi nebotičnik in mi ne bi bilo treba s svojo pičlo pametjo služiti kruha. Saj pravim: če človek nima sreče, je nima, čeprav jo imajo vsi drugi, in ded mu umre takrat, ko ga najtežje pogreši!
“Ti, dedec, po pravici povem, da me skrbi, kaj bo iz našega fanta, ko bo velik. Veš, da je ta mrha danes legel za rž in oponašal tuljenje iz opekarne, tako da nas je pripravil, da smo malicali ob dveh name&tu ob štirih. Anžon, ki je šel mimo na polje, se nam ,je smejal in nam je povedal, da je šele dve. Boš videl, še v grob me bo spravil ta pokora! Danes ga moraš nabiti, pa povej mu, zakaj si ga, da bo kaj zaleglo!"
“Kaj ga boni nabijal, saj ni sod! Tebe bi in druge, ki ste se mu dali potegniti. Zlodja, saj ste ob dveh komaj prišli na polje, pa greste malicat, ha, ha! To rečem, veseli bi ga bili moj rajnki oče, ki so zmerom govorili, da ima fant njihovo srce, če bi ga videli zdaj!”
Tako sta se menila mo.] oče in mati neki večer. Verjemite mi, ni moja krivda, da je bil moj ded tak.
Kaj morem jaz za to, če je na primer ded v fantovskih letih hodil dražit starega Napa-sta, ki je vsak večer sedel v svoji kašči pri loncu žganja in z motnim pogledom ter pijano roko krotil strahove, ki so prhu-taje vstajali izza žitnih skrinj, na starost pa to pripovedoval meni, podčrtavaje nagajivost?
Takole je pravil:
“Toliko ga ni zlepa kdo predihal kakor stari Napast; cel dan po malo, zvečer pa kolikor ce je dalo. Usedel se je sredi kašče; na eni strani je imel lonec žganja, na drugi pa vile, da je preganjal fante, ki so prihajali' pred ka^čo stresat koleselj, ki je Napasta vozil k poroki.
Kadar bi bil rad srknil nekoliko žganega, sem jo mahnil pred kaščo in sem na vso moč potresel koleselj; to je namreč starega bolj jezilo, kakor če bi bil njega lasal. In potem kakor je bilo z njim: če je bil še premalo pijan, je tiho odprl vrata in zagnal vile, da je kar zažvižgalo -r- nekoč sem za las ušel za vogel — če je bil pa pijan do zadnje žilice, .je samo za-r.iul: “Proklete barabe, da ne daste miru! Čak, hudič!” Nato sem vselej zaslišal težak padec, ker je hotel ven, pa ga je izpodneslo.”

POGOVOR Z ZNAKI
Stari Indijanci Severne Amerike, ki so govorili različne jezike in narečja, so poznali skupen jezik, izražen z različnimi znaki. Na ta način so se mogli med seboj sporazumeti različni indijanski rodovi. Znanstveniki Smithsonian instituta so s pomočjo nekaterih starih Indijancev, ki še znajo te znake, s filmi zabeležili vse te znake in jih rešili pozabljenja. Vsi ti znaki predstavljajo okrog 10,000 besed.

V. soboto 27. oktobra je društvo št. 116 JSKJ v Delmontu, e Pa., obhajalo svojo dvajsetlet-c uico, katere smo se od tu udele-žili sobrat Joseph Frank s soprogo in jaz z mojo soprogo. e Vozili smo se s Frankovim av-I tomebilom čez hribe in doline " tja v Belo dolino. Ko smo do-v speli tja, je bilo že pozno, in
II pričel sem povpraševati za sta-0 novanje sobrata Škerlja, tajni-
ka tamkajšnega društva, toda I’ dobiti nisem mogel nobenih pra-vih informacij. Podali smo se nato kar naprej, da najdemo kmetiji bratov Kužnik. Naj-prej smo našli dom Franka Kužnika, kjer smo se malo po-ir govorili, nakar nam je Mrs. b Kužnik postregla z dobro ve-)_ čerjo, sobrat Kužnik pa z o-a kusnim Črešnjevcem. Naj ji-1_ ma bo na tem mestu izrečena lepa hvala za gostoljubnost. Po-*' tern smo se podali na dom drugega brata Toma Kužnika. Vi-^ del sem, da so naši farmerji na ^ dobrem stališču. Ako je v hle-vu sedem dobro rejenih krav ir ^ druge drobnjave po potrebi, se ni treba bati pomanjkanju. Na-x~ tc smo se odpeljali nazaj prot: ,e White Valley.
