Ob času japonske zasedbe je bilo'tam okrog 11 tisoč oseb, to je ameriških in filipinskih vojakov, nekaj bolničark in nekaj civilistov. Branitelji so se podali šele, ko jim je zmanjkalo streliva in drugih potrebščin. Znano je bilo že v naprej, da se mala posadka na Filipinih ne bo mogla trajno vzdržati proti veliki premoči Japoncev, ker jim ni bilo mogoče pošiljati ojačenj in potrebščin, toda je pet mesecev zadrževala veliko japonsko armado, da je sovražnik ni mogel poslati drugam, in to je bilo za zaveznike velikega pomen^. POMORSKA BITKA Velika pomorska bitka je pretekli teden divjala na Pacifiku, severovzhodno od Avstralije. Ameriško-avstralske mornariške in letalske sile so v večdnevnih spopadih z Japonci potopile ali poškodovale 21 japonskih bojnih ladij različnih tipov. Za gotovo je bilo potopljenih 11 japonskih bojnih ladij. Ameriško-avstralske izgube so bile primeroma lahke in vojni department jih bo objavil, ko ne bodo mogle več služiti sovražniku v informacije. Pomorske bitke so se v začetku tedna še nadaljevale. ZAPOZNELO POROČILO Vojni department v Washing-tonu je končno priznal, da so ameriški letalci dne 18. aprila res bombardirali Tokio in druga japonska mesta. Ne poroča pa niti števila ameriških bombnikov niti odkod so prišli in kam so po napadu odleteli. O tem naj Japonci kar naprej ugibajo. DRUGE FRONTE Rusi innajo na svoji dolgi fronti še vedno iniciativo in beležijo lokalne uspehe. Napovedana velika pomladna ofenziva na ruski fronti se še ni pričela. Angleški letalci še vedno v vfe-likih rojih napadajo važne industrijske in transportacijske kraje v Nemčiji in v od Nemčije zasedenih deželah. V Burmi so kitajske čete ustavile napredovanje Japoncev in so jih po nekod potisnile nazaj. CHURCHILLOV GOVOR Preteklo nedeljo je angleški ministrski predsednik Winston Churchill v svojem radijskem govoru izjavil, da je situacija za zaveznike neprimerno boljša kot je bila pred meseci. Obenem je naslovil na Nemčijo svarilo, da če se bodo Nemci začeli v vojni posluževati strupenih plinov, bodo isto storili tudi zavezniki, ki so na to pripravljeni. Ako bodo angleški letalci metali plinske bombe na nemška mesta, bo krivda Nemcev samih. Po nekih poročilih, so se Nemci že pričeli posluževali .strupenih plinov na južni ruski fronti, in sicer dosedaj še v mali meri. Angleži in njihovi zavezniki ne bo-bo pričeli s plinsko vojno, toda če jih Nemci izzovejo, bodo dobili milo za drago. OJ ZDAJ GREMO Na večer 7. maja je iz Jersey Citya odplul proti Lisboni švedski parnik Drottingholm, sijaj no razsvetljen in označen z velikim napisom “Diplomat.” Z njim se je odpeljalo 948 držav-(Dalje na 4. strani) INFLACIJA SE MORA PREPREČITI Vsi vemo iz lastnih izkušenj, da so se cene življenjskih potrebščin v teku enega leta znatno dvignile. Na splošno so se dvignili tudi zaslužki, toda ne povsod. Posebno uslužbenci š stalno določenimi plačami so bili prizadeti. Razlog za dviganje cen je bil v glavnem v tem, da se je produciralo manj in manj blaga za civilne potrebe, ker morajo logično vojne potrebe imeti prednost. Nakupna moč pa je z večjimi zaslužki postajala večja. Vlada v Washingtonu je bila vsled tega prisiljena podvzeti resne korake, da se ustavi stalno zviševanje cen življenjskih potrebščin. Tako je bila dne 28. aprila z odlokom administratorja cen, Leona Hendersona, določena stabilizacija cen za milijone predmetov, od živil, do obleke, pohištva, kuriva itd. Na splošno bodo od 18. maja naprej veljale za večino predmetov cene, ki so bile v veljavi meseca marca tega leta. Z drugimi besedami povedano, dosedanje eene ne bodo znižane ali bodo znižane le za malenkost, toda ne pojdejo višje. Tudi najemnine stanovanj bodo “zmrznjene” pri višini, ki je bila v veljavi 1. julija 1941. Tako drastičnih regulacij cen še ni bilo nikdar v zgodovini Zedinjenih držav. Regulacije bodo ostale v veljavi do konca vojne in morda še nekaj časa potem. Cene surovih farmskih pridelkov niso regulirane, ali pa so regulirane indir-ektno. Tako, na primer, cena pšenice se sme zvišati, toda ne cena kruha. Indirektno to pomeni, da se tudi cena pšenice ne bo mogla dosti zvišati. Regulacija se tudi ne tiče knjig, časopisov, filmskih slik, umetniških izdelkov itd. Regulacija cen je seveda zelo komplicirana zadeva in je mogoče z ozirom na isto. navesti le nekaj splošnih podatkov. V glavnem velja določba, da cene raznih predmetov v prodajalnah na drobno po 18. maju ne bodo smele biti višje, kot so bile najvišje cene meseca marca letos; smejo pa biti nižje. Cene za razne predmete ne bodo v vseh trgovinah enake, kakor niso bile dosedaj. Tako na primer, če je bila v neki trgovini meseca marca cena kakega določenega predmeta $5.00, se dotične vrste predmet v tisti trgovini po 18. maju ne bo smel prodajati nad ceno pet dolarjev. Če pa je druga trgovina za enak predmet v mesecu marcu računala $6.00, bo smela to ceno držati tudi po 18. maju. Po 18. maju bodo morali imeti vsi prodajalci različno blago označeno s cenami in po 1. juliju bo moril imeti vsak prodajalec pripravljeno statistiko cen, ki so v njegovi trgovini veljale v mesecu marcu, in jo na zahtevo predložiti kupcu, da se bo slednji lahko prepričal, da mu ni zaračunana nelegalna cena. Ako bi kupec sodil, da mu prodajalec računa previsoko ceno, se sme obrniti na najbližjo podružnico OP A (Office of Price Administration). Kršitelji regulacij lahko začasno izgube licenco za trgovino, in za bolj resne kršitve so določene tudi denarne in zaporne kazni. Regulirane bodo tudi pristojbine za pralnice in čistilnice oblek, za popravljalce avtomobilov in radijskih aparatov, za (Dalje na 4. strani) STRATEGIČEN OTOK Na zemljevidih vidimo, da se Italija kot nekak nagubančen škorenj stega v Sredozemsko morje, pred tem škornjem pa leži kot debel kamen italijanska Sicilija. Komaj 58 milj južno od Sicilije pa moli iz morja majhen skalnat otok Malta, ki predstavlja izredno močno angleško trdnjavo in zelo neprijeten kamen spodtike za Italijo in Nemčijo. Otok je močpo utrjen in je dosedaj vzdržal že nad dva tisoč italijanskih in nemških zračnih napadov. Otok Malta je dolg malo nad 18 milj in širok nekoliko nad 17 milj. Površina otoka znaša 95 kvadratnih milj. K Malti spadata še dva otočka: Gozo, ki ima 20 kvadratnih milj površine, in Comimo, ki meri komaj eno kvadratno miljo. Prebivalstva na yseh treh otokih je okrog četrt milijona. Malto so kolonizirali Feniča-ni približno tisoč let pred začetkom našega časošteva. Pozneje so otoku vladali Grki, ki so imenovali otok Melita. Grke so pregnali leta 480 pred Kris-tom Kartažani. Pozneje so otok osvojili Rimljani, nato Bizantinci, Saraceni in Španci, španski kralj Karol je leta 1530 daroval otok križarkim vitezom Sv. Janeza, ki so vladali otoku skoro 300 let. Leta 1798 je Malto osvojil Napoleon, dve leti pozneje pa je pripadla Angliji. Zemlja na Malti je rodovitna* kolikor jo je, toda le malo sveta je primernega za obdelovanje. Večino .živeža :ca prebivalstvo je treba importirati. Za Anglijo je Malta zelo važna mornariška baza, z dobrimi pristanišči iri silnimi utrdbami, ki segajo globoko v skalovje. Baje imajo. Angleži celo letališča v skalnih izdolbinah, globoko pod površnjem. Uradni jezik je malteški, toda v javnosti se mnogo rabi angleščina, ki se tudi poučuje v vseh šolah. Ena šestina prebivalcev govori italijansko in pred nekaj leti so Italijani zahtevali svoj jezik za uradni*jezik, toda Angleži so jim prekrižali račune z malteškim jezikom, ki ga govori velika večina prebivalstva. Malteški jezik izhaja iz jezika starih Feničanov, ima pa nekaj grške, latinske in arabske primesi. Tudi v prebivalstvu se kaže izrazito feničansko pokolenje, z malo primesjo grške, italijanske in arabske krvi. Tak je v kratkem opis malega skalnatega otoka Malte v Sredozemlju, ki je vzdržal že nad dva tisoč italijanskih in nemških letalskih napadov. IGRAČE IN VOJNA V splošni ali totalni vojni morajo pomagati tudi igrače. Otroški vozički, za igranje, tricikli, svinčeni vojaki in slične igrače bodo za čas vojne odpadle, ker je izdelovalni material istih potreben za vojne svrhe. War Production Board je že izdal določbe, po katerih se omejuje ali ukinja raba določenih vrst surovin oziroma produktov za izdelovanje otroških igrač. Te omejitve in ukinitve bodo, po mnenju ekspertov v War Production Boardu, pri-, hranile za vojno produkcijo letno okrog 100,000 ton železa in jekla, dva tisoč ton bakra, medi in bakrenih zmesi, tisoč ton svinca, tri tisoč ton gumija ter mnogo svile, rajona, barvil in drugih produktov. Otrokom pa kljtob temu ne bo treba biti brez igrač, kajti industrija, ki se bavi z izdelova-(Dalje na 4. strani) NASTOP JUSTIČNEGA DEPARTMENTA Zvezni justični department v Washingtonu naznanja, da je pričel s postopanjem v svrho odvzetja ameriškega državljanstva tistim n a tu r aliziranim ameriškim državljanom, katerih delovanje dokazuje, da so bolj zvesti inozemskim državam, iz katerih so se priselili, kot pa tej republik}, kateri so prisegli zvestobo, ko jim je ista podelila državljanstvo. Vsak priseljeni inozemec, ki je prosil za ameriško državljanstvo, se je moral slovesno odpovedati svojemu prejšnjemu podaništvu in priseči zvestobo republiki Zedinjenih držav. Kdor je položil tako prisego zvestobe Zedinjenim državam, v resnici pa ostal vdan svoji prejšnji deželi, je enostavno po krivem prisegel. V srce ni mogoče nikomur videti, zato dokler prizadeti dejansko ne pokažejo, da jim je podaništvo do tuje države bolj pri srcu kot zvestoba do naše republike, jih navadno nihče ne nadleguje. Ameriška vlada je širokogrudna in maršikak neroden korak naturaliziranega državljana prezre. To je v mirnem času. V vojnem času pa je drugačna pesem, posebno če se naturalizirani državljan javno ogreva in navdušuje za državo, s katero je naša republika v vojni. To je navadna veleizdaja, in ni čudno, če širokogrudna ameriška vlada izgubi potrpljenje s takimi državljani in pe pqdysame primerne korake, da se takim državljanom odvzame ameriško državljanstvo. Tako postopanje od strani zveznega justionega depart-menta je sedaj v teku proti članom German-American Bunda in članom nekaterih drugih organizacij, katerih delovanje dokazuje, da želijo zmago oziroma da skušajo pomagati k zmagi Hitlerju in Mussoliniju. Kot se poroča iz Washingtona, se pripravljajo tožbe za odvzetje državljanstva proti približno 300 članom Bunda in v bližnji bodočnosti utegne število takih tožb doseči tisoč ali več. Nelo-' jalnosti bodo take naturalizirane državljane obtožili krajevni federalni pravdniki, in obtoženi bodo imeli pri obravnavah priliko, da dokažejo svojo nedolžnost oziroma svojo brezpogojno vdanost republiki Zedinjenih držav. Tistim, ki tega ne bodo mogli dokazati, bo odvzeto ameriško državljanstvo, in s tem marsikatera imuniteta, ki jih je v vojnem času ščitila pred raznimi neprilikami. Nekateri izmed teh, katere bo oblast smatrala za bolj nevarne, bodo morda poslani v koncentracijska taborišča ali pa celo za omrežje. Kako strogo bodo ameriške oblasti postopale v tem oziru in koliko nelojalnih organizacij bodo vzele pod drobnogled, za enkrat nihče ne ve. Gotovq, pa je, da je konec ameriške prizanesljivosti napram tistim, ki paradirajo pod ščitom ameriškega državljanstva, V resnici pa so prijatelji in hlapci držav osišča, ki so v vojni z našo republiko, v Kar se ameriških Slovencev tiče, lahko z gotovostjo trdimo, da so vsi sovražniki nacijske NemEije, fašistične Italije in Japonske. Sovražniki Amerike so tudi naši sovražniki. Slovenci tudi nimamo organizacij, ki bi se ogrevali za nazifašistev Zvezni justični department torej ne bo imel dela med nami. Vsi Slovenci, ki gmo ameriški državljani, smo ameriški državljani sto-procentno in brezpogojno, in (Dalje na 4. strani) PRISILNO DELO ZA IZGNANCE Iz Celja so nas. slovenske aretirance riajprej prepeljali v Maribor in nastanili v meljski vojašnici. Tam smo našli nad tisoč ujetnikov in beguncev, pa nič manj političnih kaznjencev. Ko smo stopali skozi kordon mrkih SS (nemška policija), sem med njimi zagledal nekdanjega uslužbenca pri Nabavljal-ni zadrugi, znanca Rozmana. Ta nam je pojasnil v slabi hrvaščini, da “nema" slame in bo treba ležati na golih tleh. V sobe so nas kar natrpali. Gestapovci so nam poprej vzeli prav vse, kar je kdo prinesel s seboj kot dar od domačih pred odhodom iz Celja. Takoj so začeli lajati na nas, suvati in poditi po hodnikih, zaničevati in psovati. Med aretiranci je bilo poleg moških tudi okoli 100 žensk. Dnevni red je bil jako natančen in strog. Vstajali 3mo že ob petih in takoj je bilo treba na delo. Ob pol šestih je že vse snažilo stranišča, hodnike in sobe. Ves čas so nas obdelovali na vse načine, da je bilo delo jako 'mučno. Prve $ni maja so nas začeli pošiljati tudi na delo izven kasarne in sicer najprej samo mlajše. Podirati Smo morali pravoslavno cerkev. Dne 4. maja je bilo jako slabo vreme, pa smo morali vseeno ves dan delati na dežju in v mrazu. Da bi se preoblekli, ni bilo misliti, zato se se mnogi močno prehladili. Zdravniške pomoči pa ni bi- lo skoraj nič. Ko je bila pravoslavna cerkev podrta, so nas začeli naganjati ropat in razdirat drugam. Vsako jutro so nas sklicali skupaj iz posameznih sob okoli 100 fantov in 20 deklet. Odpeljali so nas v palačo Union in nas razvrstili po skupinah, ki so se potem razkropile na razne stra-'ni. Nekaj jih je ostalo, v kuhinji Uniona, ostali so odšli ali v frančiškanski samostan ali v dijaško semenišče, v bogoslovni-co, v klavnico in tako dalje. Povsod je bilo “dela” za nas, ki' smo morali pod nadzorstvom Gestapa odnašati vse, kar se je dalo. V unionski kuhinji je bilo res dosti opravkov. Skozi Maribor so tiste dni prihajali tisoči fantov in deklet iz Bosne, Srbije in Banata, pa tudi iz Madžarske na delo v Nemčijo. VSak dan smo pripravili kakih 2000 obedov. Ko je zmanjkalo blaga, so nas Gestapovci naložili na avto ter odpeljali v razne mariborske trgovine. Tam so kar zahtevali, bolje rečeno vzeli vreče moke, krompirja, testenin, sladkorja in sploh vsega, kar se je dalo najti. Krompirja smo znosili skupaj več stb ton. Bili smo vsi blatni, raztrgani, umazani, poleg tega pa še lačni. In vendar smo videli v kuhinji in v skladišču polno pokvarjene moke in masti, gnilega krompirja in tako dalje. To je prišlo od tod, ker so imeli na skrbi te reči nezmožni ljudje, ki še nikoli niso nič delali, večinoma pravi potepuhi. Sedaj so pa dobili vso oblast v službi Gestapa, pa so svoj čas rajši uporabljali v to, da so se nad nami znašali, namesto da bi se bili zavzeli za svoje naloge. V drugih prej omenjenih poslopjih so tudi vse izropali in pobrali. Kjer ni bilo več zalog hrane, so odnesli posteljnino, o-bleko, pohištvo. V sobi semeni- (Dalje na 4. strani) VSAK PO SVOJE Amerika je svetovno znana kot dežela brzine. Odkar pa nas je vojna zalotila le deloma pripravljene, velja za našo himno: hitro, hitro in še hitreje! In res, produkcija ^meriške vojne industrije prekaša vse rekorde. Z vsakim dnem se produkcija pospešuje in izdelava posameznih vojnih predmetov zahteva manj in manj časa. Za mesece in tedne se krajša čas za iz-delavp ladij, tankov, letal, topov in sličnih ljubeznjivosti. In zdi se, da nas narava sama vzpodbuja k hitrosti. Pomlad je kar planila v deželo in namesto da bi nam bila delila svoje krasote drugo za drugo v določenih obrokih, jih je kar stresla iz košare. Tako smo dobili kar na kupu in v prelestni mešanici zgodnjepomladno cvetje breskev, črešenj in magnolij, poznopo-mladno cvetje jablan in španskega bezga in zgodnjepoletno cvetja jazmina in perunik. Vse hiti, hiti in prekaša časovne rekorde. * Ste slišali, kakšen šopek je predsednik Roosevelt pripel Rusiji v svojem govoru 28. aprila! Ruske armade so uničile in uničujejo več oboroženih sil naših sovražnikov, moštva, letal, tankov in topov, kot vsi ostali združeni narodi skupaj! Tako je rekel Rooseiveltin on na-( vadno ve, kaj govori. * Med dvema skupinama dragih rojakov, ki so oni veeer reševali domovino pri bari, se je vnel prijateljski prepir, katera skupina je boljša. Komandant ene skupine je izzival: “Kaj se boste šopirili? Kdo pa ste vi?” “Kdo smo mi?” se je dobrovoljno razhudil speaker druge skupine. “Mi smo hajduki iz dežele Draže Mihajloviča!” In potem se je pilo na zdravje kompanije in na srečo hajdukov ali četnikov Draže Mihajloviča. * Iz Berlina s poroča korespon-dent neke nevtralne države, da so angleška bombardiranja nemških mest med Nemci zelo nepopularna. In verjetno je, da bodo v doglednem Času angleške bombe nemškemu narodu naravnost zoprne. * Gorkega pomladnega dne, ko so bila vrata neke lekarne v Omahi na stežaj odprta, je pri-marširal v lekarno dihur in se kotx ekspert utaboril v oddelku za parfume. Lekarnar, ki ni bil navdušen za novega uslužbenca, je poklical policaja, ki je dihurja ustrelil. To kaže, da eksperti ne najdejo vselej pravega razumevanja za njihove talente. Civilizacija se ne more in se ne more razviti. Komaj so začele Kitajke opuščati hlače in pričele nositi krila, so Američanke sprejele poletno modo| hlač. * V pisarnah General Motors je bil vpeljan sistem, po katerem se mora vsako pismo zaključiti: Yours for Victory—Vaš za zmago.’’ Samo pisma, naslovljena dolžnikom, ki so zaostali z obroki za kupljene avtomobile, se ne končujejo na omenjeni način. Menda zato ne, ker se ne ve, ee bo zmaga na strani kupca ali na strani kompanije. * Zadnja registracija je nam nekaterim, ki se ne moremo ravno ponašati z rožno mladostjo, zelo prav prišla.

Skupna blagajna dne 27. aprila je bila $17,360.66. Hvala vsem v imenu odbora. Prosim vse lokalne odbore, da mi pošljejo denar mesečno, da bom koncem meseca lahko izkazoval večjo vsoto. Posamezniki, ki hočejo prispevati za naše reveže v domovini, naj pošljejo na moj naslov: Leo Jurjovec, 1840 West 22nd St., Chicago, 111. Daj, brat, daj; pomagaj, sestra! Leo Jurjovec, blagajnik JPO,SS Ne poznam Mr. Joseph Lapanja v Auburn, 111., ampak dober Slovenec mora biti, ki ima poleg vseh dobrin tudi čuteče slovensko srce. če bi imeli v vsaki slovenski naselbini nekaj takih ljudi, potem bi bile vse slovenski naselbine v Ameriki zainteresirane za Jugoslovanski pomožni odbor, slovenska sekcija, v Ameriki. Pred par dnevi sem sprejel od njega pismo sledeče vsebine: Tukaj pošiljam nekaj denarja za Jugoslovanski pomožni odbor. Prosim poročajte imena darovalcev v slovenskih listih. Darovali so sledeči: Po $1.00: Joseph Lapanja, Jak-ob Zaver, John Homec, John Ustar, Anton Brain, Štefan Prelec, Terezija Damivšek, Robert Smuk, Jas.

Po 75 centov: Anton Mlačnik. Po 25 centov: Jakob Leban. Po 50 centov: John Pukel, Mary Walantus, Frank Leskovi-šek, Jacob Pitar, Max Baggio, Martin Smolle, Mary Speiser in Mary Sveglič. Darovalci so povečini člani ABZ in SNPJ. Priloženo Vam pošiljam poštno nakaznico za $31.00. Težko je nabirati denarne prispevke, toda potrudil sem, se, da so vsi Slovenci dali, kar nas je tukaj. Zato bi rad videl, da priobčite imena v listih, da oodo vedeli, da sem pošteno napravil moje delo. Z bratskim pozdravom, Joseph Lapanja, član društva 158 ABZ. Hvala vsem in vsakemu! * * * Na zadnji seji JPO,SS v Chicagu je glavni tajnik, Jos. Zalar poročal, da bo slovenska naselbina Joliet, 111. poslala blagajniku JPO,SS vsoto $1100.00. To je iskrena beseda iz naroda, ki se zaveda svoje bratske dolžnosti napram našemu narodu onkraj morja. Lokalni odbor št. 2 JPO,SS v Clevelandu bo tudi poslal na-daljnih $500.00 že drugi teden. S to vsoto bo Cleveland prispeval že $3000.00. Tako naj storijo vsi drugi lo kalni odbori, ki imajo denar na rokah, da bo glavna blagajna izkazevala večjo vsoto. Sedaj ni čas, da bi navajali izgovore, sedaj je čas, da damo dolarje. * Lorain, O. — želimo sporočiti širni slovenski javnosti v Ameriki o delovanju postojanke št. 14 Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora v lorainski naselbini. Organizirali smo svojo sekcijo 13. avgusta 1941 ter si takoj začrtali program, kateri naj bi služil kot pot do zaželjenega cilja—pomoč nesrečnemu narodu, katerega del smo mi—ne glede ali smo bili rojeni v stari domoviniali ako nam je bila sreča mila, da smo se rodili pod zvezdnato zasavo. Slovenska kri se pretaka po naših žilah, hčere in sinovi smo slovenskih mater, prva beseda, katero smo izgovorili je bila slovenska beseda, katero pa brutalni sovražnik tako brezsrčno skuša zatreti. Naš brat, naša sestra so v pomanjkanju, brez strehe, brez kruha, tavajo po tuji zemlji misleč na nas, ali se jih bodemo spomnili ali zatajili v teh hudih urah. Kot kamen mora biti trdo srce, katero se ne omehča, ko sliši in čita, kaj vse je naš slovenski narod je prenesel in kaj še danes prenaša, samo zato,, ker se ni hotel podati na zahtevo krvoločnega in barbarskega vodstva, temveč se je uprl in s tem dokazal, da tudi on želi uživati nekdaj privilegije kot jih nudi naša država, kjer vlada svoboda in demokracija. Danes bolj kot kdaj poprej širni svet ve, kdo da so Slovenci, kakšnega značaja je ta mali narod. Po-nosfii smo vedno bili, da izhajamo iz slovenskega naroda, ampak danes smo še stokrat bolj. Zato ne bodimo skopi in sebični temveč radodarni in širokogrudni ,ter pomagajmo našemu nesrečnemu slovenskemu narodu. Kri ni voda! Odpri srce, odpri roke, otrija bratovske solze! V Lorainu smo priredili 4. januarja pristno slovensko večerjo s primernim programom. Glavni govornik večera je bil dobro poznani in marljivi delavec za slovenski narod, Janko N. Rogelj. Čisti prebitek te prireditve je bil $362.80. V nedeljo večer 22. marca smo priredili kartno veselico, katera je prinesla čistega dobička $118.11. Prostovoljno so prispevali sledeči: Po $25.00: Rev. Milan J.‘Sla-je, Slovenski Narodni Dom; po $10.00: Mr. in Mrs. John Kum-se; po $5.00: Mr. in Mrs. John Bucher, Miss Mary E. Polutnik; po $3.00: Mr. in Mrs. Joseph Svete; po $2.30: Mr. in Mrs. Martin Pazder; po $2.00: Louis Garek, Lorain Toy Novelty in Anton Pazder; po $1.50: Mr. in Mrs. John Dougan; po $1.00: Mr. in Mrs. Joseph Konte, Mr. in Mrs. Remus Markac, Mr. Louis Mislej, Michael Studio, Mr. in Mrs. John Omahen, Mrs. Matilda Ostanek, Mr. Frank Pavlich, Mr. in Mrs. Jacob Skapin; po 50c: Neimenovan. Skupaj $91.30. Posebna hvala naj bo ob tej priliki izražena direktor jam Slovenskega narodnega doma, ker poleg darovanega denarnega prispevka so bili nam vedno naklonjeni, in so nam bile dvorane, naj sibodi za s,eje ali za naše prireditve, vedno brezplačno na razpolago. Priznanje tudi vsem krajevnim slovenskim podpornim društvom ter ostalim organiziranim skupinem za njih naklonjenost in darežljivost. Iskrena hvala vsem, kateri so pripomogli, da mi je bilo moč odposlati na glavnega blagajnika, Mr. Leo Jurjovca, National Defense ali War Bonds v vrednosti $555.00, ter bančno nakaznico za $17.21. Cela vsota $572.21. Z rodoljubnim in narodnim pozdravom, Mary E. Polutnik, predsednica llu. Po seji bomo imeli nekoliko : okrepčil. Vojne varčevalne znamke Zedinjenih držav, poslane iz gl. urada kot dividenda članom mladinskega oddelka, so dospela. Vsak član (članica) mladinskega oddelka, ki je bil dobro-stoječ konci marca, dobi 5 teh znamk po 10 centov, to je , za 50 centov znamk, člani, ki imate otroke pri društvu, pridite na sejo, da vam bodo izročene do-tične znamke. Dalje, ne pozabimo naše kampanje za povečanje mladinskega oddelka. Naše društvo se je tekom vsake kampanje dobro izkazalo, zato upam, da se bo tudi v sedanji. Za prihodnjo sejo naj bo naše geslo: 25 novih mladinskih članov in članic! Bratski pozdrav in na svidenje na seji! — Za društvo št. 66 ABZ: Peter Musich, tajnik. DOPISI Joliet, III. — Na zadnji seji društva Sv. Petra in Pavla, št 66 ABZ, je bilo sklenjeno, da se na prihodnjo sejo, ki se bo vr šila v nedeljo 17. maja, potom glasila povabi vse člane in članice. Torej, vsi člani in članice našega društva so vabljeni, da se udeležijo seje v nedeljo 17. maja, ker to bo nekoliko bolj slovesna seja, kot običajno. Častni znak za 40-letno članstvo bo namreč pri tej priliki oddan našemu sobratu Johnu Mande- Lorain, O. — Vsi člani in članice društva Sv. Alojzija, št. 6 ABZ, so vljudno vabljeni, da se gotovo udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v navadnih prostorih v nedeljo 17. maja in se bo pričela ob 1. uri popoldne. Na tej seji bodo izročeni častni zvezini znaki članom, ki so pri naši organizaciji že 40 let ali več. Ti naši pionirji so: Frank Krištof, Frank Ambrožič, John Piškur, John Svet in Frank Tomazin. Sobrata John Svet in John Piškur sta točasno na bolniški listi, toda upam, da bosta okrevala pravočasno, da bosta navzoča pri tem program«. Društvo namerava prirediti za to priliko lep program. Po seji bodo pa servirana okrepčila in nekateri člani so že obljubili, da prinesejo harmonike Sv seboj. Kaj to pomeni, vam je znano. Na to sejo smo povabili tudi našega glavnega predsednika in upamo, da se povabilu odzove, če mu bo mogoče. člani naj bodo tem potom 'opozorjeni na kampanjo za povečanje našega mladinskega oddelka. Regularne nagrade za pridobitev novih mladinskih članov tekom kampanje so povečane, in pet društev, ki bo dobilo največje število mladinskih članov tekom kampanje, bo de-ežno še posebnih nagrad v gotovini. Torej, pojdimo tudi pri nas na delo, da bomo ob zaključku kampanje pokazali dobre rezultate. Kot znano, je glavni odbor na letni seji v februarju določil, da se vsem mladinskim članom, ki bodo dobrostoječi v marcu 1942, da dividenda v znesku 50 centov, in sicer v obliki vojnih varčevalnih znamk. Te znamke sem že prejel iz glavnega urada in bodo razdeljene članom na prihodnji seji ali pa, kadar bodo prišli plačat asesmente. Mladinski oddelek našega društva šteje zdaj 89 članov. V vojnih službi Zedinjenih držav je sedem članov našega društva, namreč: Joseph Pavlich, John Hribar, Victor Balant, Frank Gradišek, Jr., Anthony Evanish in John Zgonc, želimo jim zdravja in sreče v njihovi častni službi in srečen povratek med nas. — Za društvo št. 6 ABZ: Ludwig J. Vidrick, tajnik. Girard, Q. — člane in članice društva Lincoln, št. 108 AJJZ, obveščam, da je bilo na mesečni seji 19. aprila sklenjeno, da se bodo odi sedaj naprej do preklica vršile naše seje vsako tretjo nedeljo v mesecu in se bodo pričenjale ob 10> uri dopoldne. Seje se vršijo, kakor je bilo že poročano, v Slovenskem domu na 1006 State St., Girard, Ohio, člani so prošeni, da bi se v večjem številu udeleževali sej kot je bilo v navadi do sedaj. Kakor je bilo že poročano, bo naše društvo proslavilo 30-let-nico ustanovitve 10. oktobra 1942. O tem bo natančnejše poročano pogneje. — Iz zavoda za jetične se je povrnil na dom naš član Albin Doborvolec; počuti se dobro in upamo, da bo njegovo zdravje trajno, kar mi vsi iz srca želimo. Na bolniški listi je brat John Young, kate- remu sobrat j e in sosestre želimo skorajšnjega okrevanja. Sestrski poadrav!—Za društvo št. 108 ABZ: Antonia Perechlin, tajnica. Chicago, III. — člane in članice društva Zvezda, št. 170 ABZ, obveščam, da se bo naša prihodnja seja vršila v sredo 20. maja. Seja se bo vršila v navadnih prostorih in se bo pričela ob 8. uri zvečer. Vsi člani in članice so vabljeni, da se udeležijo te seje. Podano bo poročilo nadzornega odbora in razdeljene bodo vojno varčevalne znamke, ki sem jih prejela iz glavnega urada za člane mladinskega oddelka. Zato je posebno važno, da pridejo na to sejo starši 0-trok, ki so v mladinskem od^ delku, da prevzamejo od Zveze podarjene znamke. Dalje je treba, da se nekoliko zganemo v tekoči kampanji za pridobivanje članov v mladinski oddelek. V Novi Dobi smo čitali poročilo glavnega tajnika, da je še 100 društev naše Zveze, ki niso v tej kampanji nič aktivna. Dajmo se zavzeti, da naše društvo ne bo zapisano med tistimi 100 neaktivnimi. Saj se še dobijo novi mladinski člani, ’samo nekoliko potruditi se je treba. Člane in članice, ki zaostajajo z asesmenti, prosim, da so v bodoče bolj točni. Društvo nima denarja, da bi zakladalo zanje, tajnica tudi ne, torej ni drugega izhoda kot suspendaci-ja člana ali članice, ki nima do zadnjega dne v mesecu plačanega svojega asesmenta. V sledečem ponovno navedem moj novi naslov, da ne bo nesporazum-ljenj: “Agnes Jurečič, 5614 W. 24th St., Cicero, Ul.” Sedaj pa še par besed o naši veselici, ki se bo vršila 24. maja v American-Bohemian dvorani na W. 18th St., blizu Blue Island Ave. Veselica bo prirejena v korist fonda Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora in posamezni odbori za prireditev so že pridno na delu s pobiranjem oglasov, prodajo vstopnic itd. Pravilno in hvalevredno je, da se rrti, ki živimo v svobodni Ameriki, spomnimo naših trpečih rojakov v starem kraju. Daši jim zdaj ni mogoče pomagati, je dobro, da smo pripravljeni, da brez odlašanja lahko pošljemo pomoč trpečim, kadar bo spet pot odprta. Tudi naše društvo Zvezda, sodeluje s pripravljalnim odborom za to veselico. Upamo, da bo prireditev velik uspeh, saj se gre za plemenit namen. K sklepu še enkrat pozivam člane in članice našega društva, da se udeležijo prihodnje seje v sredo 20. maja. Sestrski pozdrav in na svidenje! — Za društvo št. 170 ABZ: Agnes Jurečič, tajnica. Lost, Mike Malcovec in Ernest j Cikovic. Mike Galich je pri le-’ talskem koru, Emil Elias pa pri1 mornarici. Njim in vsem drugim j v vojni službi Zedinjenih držav želimo vso srečo in srečen povratek med njihove drage, kp bo dosežena zmaga nad sovražniki demokracije. —- Za društvo Cardinals, št. 229 ABZ: Jennie Millosin, blagajničarka. Chisholm, Minn. — Prihodnje zborovanje federacije društev Ameriške bratske zveze v državi Minnesoti se bo vršilo v nedeljo 31. maja v Evelethu, Minn. Zborovanje se bo vršilo V mestni dvorani in se bo pričelo točno ob eni uri popoldne. To zborovanje se bo bavilo z važnimi zadevami, zato so vsa društva ABZ v Minnesoti vabljena, da pošljejo na to sejo svoje zastopnike. Na naše prihodnje zborovanje so vljudno vabljeni tudi v Minnesoti bivajoči glavni odborniki, kateri nam lahko dajo dosti dobrih nasvetov in pojasnil. Torej, na svidenje v Evelethu, Minn., v nedeljo 31. maja! — Za federacijo društev Ameriške bratske zveze v drža- vi Minnesoti: John Lamuth,'tajnik-blagajnik. ni posetnikom kot pionirji, ki so orali ledino za takrat šibko, danes pa močno organizacijo Ameriško bratsko zvezo. Na proslavo je povabljen za governika glavni nadzornik Frank j. Kress iz Pittsburgha. Veselilo bi nas tudi, če bi nas posetil naš sobrat urednik. Sodelovala bodo tri slovenska pevska društva. Druge podrobnosti o proslavi bodo-še poročane. Za enkrat samo opozarjamo člane in rojake v naselbinah Cone-maugh, Moxham, Bon Air, Lloy-dell, Krayn, Tire Hill, Park Hill, Central City, St. Michael in Rockingham, da si datum 30. maja rezervirajo za poset naše prireditve. Člane in članice našega društva pa prosim, da se kar mogoče polnoštevilno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 17. maja. Treba bo izvoliti pripravljalni odbor za veselico, določiti delavce in se pogovoriti marsikaj glede prireditve. Bratski pozdrav in na svidenje! — Za društvo št. 16 ABZ: Jerry Gorentz, tajnik. Struthers, O.— Združena slovenska in hrvatska društva v Strutheijsu, Ohio, bodo priredila skupno veselico v korist civilne obrambe. Veselica se bo vršila v Hrvatski dvorani na 199 Lowelville Road v Struthersu v soboto 16. maja.- Med društvi, ki sodelujejo pri tej prireditvi, je tudi društvo Cardinals, št. 229 ABZ. Za godbo bo skrbel orkester “Continental Four”, ki igra na radijski postaji v Youngstownu, Ohio, vsako soboto od poldvanajstih dopoldne do dvanajstih. Peter Banovich je predsednik pripravljalnega odbora in brat Edward Glavic je podpredsednik. Tisti prijatelji, ki so vpraševali, kdaj bomo imeli kako prireditev v Struthersu, imajo zdaj priliko, da nas obi ščejo; to velja posebno za'mesta Cleveland, Sharon, Bessemer, Youngstown in Girard. Za posetnike v uniformi ameriške vojne sile bo vstopnina prosta. Društvo Cardinals, št. 229 ABZ, ima dosedaj že 9 mož v uniformi Strica Sama. In sicer so v armadi sledeči: Albert Slabe, Emil Milkovich, John Pogačnik, Steve Millosin, Pete De Denver, Colo. — V Slovenskem domu v Denverju bo imel v nedeljo 17. maja predavanje o nacijski strahovladi v Sloveniji Rev. K. Zakrajšek, ki te čase potuje po zapadu. On se je nahajal ob času, ko je bila Jugoslavija razkosana, še v starem kraju, torej je videl marsikatero strahoto na lastne oči. Vsi Slovenci in drugi Jugoslovani iz Denvefja in okoliških naselbin so vabljeni na poset tega predavanja. Pričetek je določen za 2. uro popoldne. Pri tisti priliki lahko rojaki tudi kaj prispevajo za pomoč potrebnim rojakom v starem kraju. Vsak, ,tudi najmanjši prispevek Je dobrodošel. Pred nekaj dnevi smo zopet poslali na glavnega blagajnika Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora, slovenska sekcija, vsoto $15.00, katero so prispevali, in sicer vsak po pet dolarjev, sledeči: Katarina Bojc, Anna Domitrovich in Mr. & Mrs. Louis Zemlak. Dosedaj je naša podružnica že poslala na glavnega blagajnika JPO,SS vsoto $291.50, kar je že prilično lepa vsota za tako malo slovensko naselbino kot je v Denverju. Ker pa se še vedne pobirajo prostovoljni prispevki v to plemenito svrho, upam, da bomo nabrali vsaj še toliko kot smo dosedaj. Saj je dolžnost vsakega Slovenca in Slovenke, da vsaj z malim prispevkom skuša obrisati solzo iz oči svoje rodne matere Slovenije, ki prav v teh časih toliko trpi, kot še ni nikdar tekom svoje zgodovine. — Za podružnico št. 21 JPO,SS: Frank Okoren, tajnik. Johnstown, Pa. — Na zadnji seji društva Cirila in Metoda, št. 16 ABZ, je bilo sklenjeno s primerno veselico proslaviti 42-letnico ustanovitve. To obletnico bomo proslavili 30. maja 1942 in pri tisti priliki bomo tudi razdelili častne znake tistim članom, ki so člani organizacije že 40 let ali več. To društvo je bilo ustanovljeno meseca maja pred 42 leti. Torej bomo 30. maja letos proslavili njegovo 42-letnico. Na to proslavo so seveda vabljeni vsi naši člani in članice, posebno pa ustanovitelji in tisti člani, ki so pri organizaciji že 40 let ali več. Med ustanovitelji je tudi nekaj članov, ki so pozneje prestopili k drugim društvom naše Zveze, in vsi ti so prijazno vabljeni, da pridejo na našo proslavo, da bodo predstavljeni občinstvu. Nekateri bivši ustanovitelji iz enega ali drugega vzroka niso več člani, vendar so tudi oni vabljeni, da pridejo na našo 42-letnico. Tudi oni zaslužijo, da so predstavlje- White Valley, Pa. — Na zadnji seji podružnice št. 25 JPO,-SS, ki se je vršila 26. aprila v Claridgeu, Pa., je bilo sklenjeno, da tajnik pošlje pismena vabila vsem društvom v west-morelandskem okraju, da se po svojih zastopnikih udeleže prihodnja seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 17. maja ob 4. uri popoldne v Claridgeu, Pa. Dotična društva, ki so prejela omenjena vabila, so pozvana, da določijo svoje zastopnike in jih pošljejo na sejo. Lahko pa se seje udeležijo tudi društveni uradniki in drugi člani. Ako katero društvo ne bi prejelo pismenega vabila, naj velja to kot va-bilp. Na dnevnem redu seje bo volitev stalnega odbora in več drugih važnih zadev. Slišal sem nekaj kritike, zakaj je bil samo tajnik Previc priobčen v imeniku uradnikov naše podružnice št. 25. Na to odgovarjam, da to ni moja krivda, ker sem trikrat poslal glavnemu tajniku Jos. Zalarju imena predsednika, tajnika in blagajnika naše podružnice. Zakaj niso bila vsa imena priobčena, meni ni znano. Sicer pa mislim, da to ni velikega pomena, ker dotični odbor je bil izvoljen samo začasno in stalni 'odbor bo izvoljen šele na prihodnji seji. Namesto kritizirati take male pomanjkljivosti, bi bilo boljše, če bi se potrudili z zbiranjem prispevkov za naše nesrečne sorojake v Starem kraju. Torej, na svidenje na seji v nedeljo 17. maja ob 4/ uri popoldne v Claridge, Pa; Dne 31. maja se bo pa v Claridgeu, Pa., vršil javni shod, na katerem nastopi kot glavni govornik J. N. Rogelj iz Clevelanda. Poleg tega bodo nastopi- li tudi štirje federacijski predsedniki westmorelandskega o-kraja, namreč John Fradel iz Latrobe za SNPJ, Frank Kress iz Pittsburgha za ABZ, John Kvartič iz Bridgevilla za zapad-y nopennsylvansko SNPJ in Mike Kumer iz Universala za angleško poslujoča društva SNPJ. Na programu ne bo nikakih ministrov, ker to je naša ameriška organizacija. Poleg tega verujemo, da bo naš predsednik Franklin D. Roosevelt po zaključeni vojni lahko več storil za reB demokratično Slovenijo in Jugoslavijo kot vsi člani tako zva-ne zamejne vlade. — Za podružnico št\ 25 JPO.SS: Jurij Previc, začasni tajnik. Cleveland, O. — Slovenska šola se zahvaljuje. — Pred nedavnim se je uradno razpustilo mladinski pevski zbor “SlavčSti,” ki je obstojal vrsto let v St. Clairskem okrožju. Ker je zbor imel še vsoto denarja v svoji blagajni ob tem času, so uradniki “Slavčkov” sklenili odškodovati S. N.

V svojem nedavnem govoru je med drugim dejal: “Poroča se celo iz Japonske, da je nekdo metal bombe na Tokio in na druga glavna središča japonske vojne industrije. Če je to resnično, je prvič v zgodovini, da je Japonska utrpela tako ne-dostojnost.” Kdo ve, če Japonce kaj zelo jezi, ko se Roosevelt tako nevednega dela!

XVIIL <^|§^204 ~ ~ ŠT. 19 BODITE PREVIDNI! Razne družbe razpošiljajo zadnje čase stotisoče okrožnic, s katerim ponujajo občinstvu vseh vrst zavarovanja, to je smrtninska in bolniška zavarovanja in različnih vrst zavarovanja za premičnine in nepremičnine. V okrožnicah se omenjajo vsakovrstne nevarnosti, ki so na pohodu v vojnem času, med njimi tudi nevarnost sabotaže in letalskih napadov. Da je v vojnem času tudi za civiliste več nevarnosti za življenje in zdravje in za osebno lastnino kot v času miru, to drži. Ni dvoma tudi, da so nekatere zavaroval-ninske družbe, ki ponujajo ene ali druge vrste zavarovalnino, zanesljive in poštene' Zelo verjetno pa je, da je med, družbami, ki so zadnje čase postale tako aktivne, tudi nekaj nezanesljivih. Zavarovalniriske police takih družb so-lahko v soglasju s postavami in morda so na videz zelo liberalne, toda možno je, da vsebujejo vse polno važnih izjem, ki jih povprečen zavarovanec niti ne prečita, ko - podpiše polico in plača pristojbino. Lahko pa je, da sku-šdjo tu in tam izrabiti vojno histerijo na hitrd roko sestavljene zavarovalninske družbe, ki nimajo niti legalnega niti finančnega ozadja. Take družbe zamorejo operirati nekaj tednov ali mesecev, in predno jih zasledi postava, se razblinijo v nič, obenem s tisočaki, katere so jim kot pristojbino plačali lahkoverni ljudje. Mi ameriški Slovenci imamo dovolj dobrih in zanesljivih bratskih podpornih organizacij, ki obljubujejo in pošteno plačujejo smrtninske, bolniške, operacijske in druge podpore. Tu je Ameriška bratska zveza z visoko solventnostjo, s tremi milijoni dolarjev premoženja in z 42-letnim rekordom poštenosti. Tu so druge slovenske podporne organizacije, ena starejša, druge mlajše, in vse solventne, vse zanesljive in vs$ z dolgoletnim poštenim poslovalnim rekordom. Nobena življenjsko zavarovalna družba ne nudi za enake pristojbine večjih ugodnosti svojim zavarovancem, kot jih nudi in daje Ameriška bratska zveza. To velja v glavnem tudi za vse druge slovenske podporne organizacije. v Kdor pa iz enega ali drugega vzroka želi biti zavarovan pri kaki drugi življenjski zavarovalnici, naj se drži starih, preiskušenih družb, in agentov, ki jih pozna in jim zaupa. Potem so tu zavarovalnice za hiše, avtomobile itd. Več takih zavarovalninskih družb je poznanih in zanesljivih, ki nudijo pošteno odškodnino za pošteno premijo. Pri zavarovanju premičnin in nepremičnin je najbolj priporočljivo, da se držimo teh starih in preiskušenih zavarovalnic. Pri mnogih delajo kot agenti tudi naši rojaki, ki jih poznamo kot poštene in zanesljive. Ti nam ,ne bodo prodali mačka v vreči, ampak nam bodo pošteno raztolmačili vsebino oziroma pogoje zavarovalnine, čuvajmo pa se agentov, ki jih ne poznamo, ppsebno, če nam za nizke premije nenavadno veliko obetajo. Iz nič ni nič in za pošteno blago ali pošteno postrežbo je treba pošteno plačati. Z ozirom na nevarnosti vojnega časa, kot na primer nevarnosti vsled sabotaže ali zračnih napadov, je priporočljivo upoštevati dejstvo, da se v Washingtonu priprav lja neke vrste federalno zavarovanje. Tako zavarovanje, kadar bo uveljavljeno, bo najceneje in obenem absolutno zanesljivo. Ako se ne bomo zanesli na našo lastno vlado, na koga se bomo! , Vojna je velika kriza in vsako krizo skušajo nekateri nepošteni in prefrigani posamezniki izkoristiti v svoj dobiček, brez ozira na škodo, ki preti njihovim žrtvam. Ta-, ko smo čitalj, da se ponekod že razvija “butleganje” z avtomobilskimi obroči. Novi avtomobilski obroči, ki jih je danes povprečnemu avtomobilistu morda mogoče kupiti “pod roko,” so bili najbrž ukradeni, in preti tako prodajalcem kot kupcem težka kazen, če jih oblasti zalotijo. Dalje je znano, da nekateri brezvestni prodajalci na skrivaj prodajajo popravljene avtomobilske obroče, ki so videti kot skoro novi, toda so v resnici le slabo zakrpani in'dobro pobarvani. Ako tak drago plačani obroč pri prvi priliki izpusti “dušo,” se žrtev sleparja nima nikamor pritožiti. Ne samo patriotično, ampak v našo lastno korist je. če se z oziiom na avtomobile in v vseh drugih zadevah ravnamo po vladnih navodilih in regulacijah. Vlada v Washingtonu je naša vlada, ki smo jo sami izvolili, zato je za svoje poslovanje odgovorna narodu. Zanesimo se nanjo in upoštevaimo njena navodila. In Ameriška bratska zveza ie naša, ker jo tvorimo vsi in ker smo pieno vodstvo sami izvolili. Zato se lahko zanesemo, da nikjer drugje ne dobimo boljšega zavarovanja kot pri njej. Društvo Napredek, št. 132 ABZ, v Euclidu, Ohio, je pretekli teden na lep način počastilo svojega člana Johna Pritekel, ki je že nad 40 let član naše organizacije. Glavni predsednik mu je s primernim nagovorom pripel častni zvezin znak, nakar so sledile kratke, pa prisrčne čestitke drugih uradnikov. Po seji se je razvila prijetna domača zabava, ki je trajala do pozne nočpe ure. Društvo št. 132 ABZ je eno najdelavnejših v naši Zvezi ter uživa v Euclidu in sosednem Clevelandu kar najboljši ugled. Agilen društveni odbor je deležen pravega bratskega sodelovanja od članov in članic, mlajših in’ starejših, zato tudi društvo stalno napreduje, tekom kampanj ali izven istih. V letošnji kampanji za povečanje mladinskega oddelka je dosedaj na drugfem mestu, čast in priznanje dobremu društvu, in naj bi našlo mnogo posnemovalcev! Mehiški hotelirji, ki si želijo ohraniti posete kar največjega števila turistov iz Zedinjenih držav, obljubujejo turistom, da jim bodo brezplačno posodili avtomobilske obroče za čas njihovega bivanja v Mehiki. Če obljubijo še par funtov sladkorja za nameček, pa gremo na počitnice v Mehiko. Morda! v V letni dobi, ko je rastlinstvo v najbujnejšem cvetju, nekatere ljudi napada senena mrzlica, ki je v tej deželi poznana pod imenom hay fever. Žrtvi te bolezni se neprestano solzijo oči in nos, kar je nerodno vsak čas, posebno pa, če mora človek v večjo družbo. Pa se je zgodilo, da je bila mlada dama, katero je mučila senena mrzlica, povabljena h kosilu v izbrano družbo. Vabila ni hotela odkloniti zaradi senene mrzlice, zato se je proti njej oborožila z dvema robcema. Enega je potisnila v svojo malo ročno torbico, drugega, rezervnega pa v nedrije. Ko je tekom kosila prvi ’ robec opravil svojo dolžnost do skrajnih mej, je dama začela iskati rezervni robec v nedrijih. Šarila je na desno in levo, toda robca ni mogla najti. Ko je dama opazila, da drugi gostje z zanimanjem sledijo njenemu ša-renju po nedrijih, je v zadregi zamrmrala: “Čudno, saj nantan-čno vem, da sem imela dva, ko sem prišla sem.” SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) ljanov osiščnih držav, Nemčije, Italije, Madžarske, Rumunije in Bolgarije. Skupina je vključevala diplomate omenjenih držav, njihove družine in služabnike in nekatere druge bolj vidne predstavnike osiščnih držav. V Lisboni na Portugalskem se bodo na isti parnik vkrcali ameriški diplomati za povratek v Ameriko. AVTNA SITUACIJA Situacija za avtomobiliste postaje z vsakim dnem bolj temna zaradi gumija, ki se ga več in več potrebuje^v vojne svrhe. Za enkrat bo vlada odkupila vse nove avtomobile, ki so še neprodani in ki jih je okrog 350,-000, in odkupila bo tudi od avtomobilistov razervne obroče; avtomobilisti bodo mogli obdržati le en rezervni obroč. Govori se tudi, da bo v primeru potrebe vlada zasegla vse privatne avtomobile, za katere bo seveda lastnikom plačala primerno odškodnino. NE BO ALIMONIJEV Sodnik vrhovnega sodišča države New York, Peter Schmuck, je v zadevi sarženta Mihaela McGlynna odločil, da mu ni treba plačevati alimonijev njegovi ločeni ženi, dokler je v vojaški službi in dokler nima drugih dohodkov kot svojo vojaško plačo. VEČ PAŽNJE Stroge vojne regulacije so bile uvedene glede pažnje na narodne gozdne rezervacije, jezove in druge vodne naprave v državah Oregon in Washington. Nekatere teh strategično važnih krajev bo mogoče obiskati samo na podlagi posebnih dovoljenj. fan t0 tl' attai , ,ll)Se Unit ku ^un ■non tli hali |t%i ley KDOR PREJ PRIDE Angleži, ki so se tekom sedanje vojne premnogokrat izkazali prepozne, so pretekli teden prehiteli Japonce, ko so zasedli veliki francoski otok Madagascar v Indijskem oceanu, par sto milj oddaljen od obale Južne Afrike. Ako bi se Japonci po-astili tega otoka, bi mogli resno ogražati dostavljanje oja-čenj in potrebščin Avstraliji in Rusiji. Lutkarska francoska vlada v Vichyu je bila najbrž pripravljena dovoliti, da Japonci zasedejo Madagaskar, kakor je lani dovolila, da so zasedli francosko Indo-Kino, katera jim je izborno služila pri njihovi ofenzivi v Južnem Pacifiku. To pot pa Angleži niso spali. y V teh lepih majskih jutrih včasih samega sebe zalotim, da že na tešče brundam nekaj pesmi ali melodiji podobnega. In potem se čudim, kaj me v teh resnih časih spravlja v tako razigrano razpoloženje, dokler se ne domislim, da je v^deželi pomlad. Da se rožmarinovo jutro razcveta v nageljnov dan. * V pivnici včasih pijača prinese besedo, beseda prinese špe tir, špetir pa pretep. To seveda ni v dobrobit niti gostilničarju, niti pretepaču, najmanj pa žrtvi, ki jih dobi po nosu. Z ozirom na narodno zdravje, dobre sosedske odnošaje in splošen dobrobit slavnega občinstva je torej na bari pivnice Slovenskega delavskega doma v Clevelandu v rdečih črkah nameščen prijazen poziv, ki se v prostem pre vodu glasi: “Kdor se hoče pre tepati, naj gre nad Japonce!” Pametno, kratko in jedrnato in obenem patriotično!

POZIV NA ODPOR Iz Moskve je bil pretekli teden poslan zasužnjeni češki radijski poziv, da naj češko ljudstvo prične z organiziranim odporom proti Nemcem. Organizirajo naj se oddelki četnikov, v tovarnah in na železnicah pa naj se prične z odločno sabotažo. Gre se za Hitlerjev poraz v letu 1942 in za osvoboditev češkoslovaške. Ta kratkovalni radijski poziv iz Moskve je zabeležil Columbia Broadcasting System.

M AMPLIFYING THE VOICE OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBERS Amer. Slav Congress Pittsburgh, Pa. — Fifty officials of the American SlaV Congress, representing 11 descent groups of the 15 million American Slav' citizens, held a two-day conference in Pittsburgh on May 9 and 10, 1942. The main meeting was held Saturday afternoon, May 9, ak the William Penn Hotel. Purpose of the meeting was to put into immediate effect the war-aid program adftpted at the recent convention of the congress at Detroit. Delegates from Milwaukee, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Cleveland and Pittsburgh were in attendance. Blair F. Gunther, of Pittsburgh, chairman of the Congress’ board of directors presided. A nation-wid£ women’s auxiliary is planned, to conduct a door-to-door campaign to sell War Stamps and Bonds; a Volunteer G-Man corps to combat sabotage and launching of an educational program for social life during the war was also approved. The writer represented brother J. N. Rogelj, member of the Board of Directors by proxy at this mefeting. A report of the American Slav Congress convention held in Detroit recently, will be published next week. F. J. Kress, AFU Delegate The 1942 Campaign for new Juvenile Members is under way. You are urged to remind members of your lodge at every monthly meeting to go out and work for some of the valuable prizes being offered by our Union. You are urged to see that some new juvenile members are enrolled in your lodge ^ach month. Napredek Lodge 132, AFU of Euclid, 0., will sponsor a picnic at Stusek’s Farm June 21st. The young man with a beaten look entered the registrar's office. “Are you quite sure,” he asked with a sigh, “that that was a marriage license you gave ime last year?” I “Of course! Why?” “Because I’ve led a dog’s lift j ever since.’^_ —Pathfindex Meet May 20 Lodge 170 News BRIEFS Chicago, 111. — Members of Lodge 170, AFU, are notified to attend our next meeting scheduled Wednesday, May 20, in regular quarters beginning at 8 p. m. All members are cordially invited and urged to attend. Report of the auditing committee will be given after which War Savings Stamps, which I received from the Home Office, will be distributed to juvenile members. That is why it is especially important that all parents of the children of our juvenile department attend this meeting to receive their war stamps. . Further, it is necessary that we increase our activity in the 1942 Juvenile Campaign by enrolling more new juveniles into our lodge. In the Nova Doba, we saw a report from our Supreme Secretary showing that 100 of our lodges are not active in this campaign. Let us get to work so that our lodge will not be listed among those 100 dormant lodges. You can still enroll new juvenile members. Only a little work to that end is necessary. Those members who are behind or late in the payment of their monthly assessments are asked to be more prompt. The lodge does not have any funds with which to pay your assessment and neither has the secretary. Therefore there is no other alternative but to suspend the member who doesn’t have his or her assessment paid by the end of the month. I would like to remind all of our members that my new address is “Agnes Jurecic, 5614 West 24th street, Cicero, Illinois.” Now a few words about our comjng event which will be held May 24th at the American-Bohemian Hall on West 18th street near Blue Island avenue. This party will be held for the Jugoslav Relief Fund, Slovene Section, and the committee on arrangements has already done excellent work in soliciting advertisements and selling tickets etc. It is our duty and very much worth while that we who live in this country of America remember our suffering neighbors in Jugoslavia. Though we cannot help them now, it is well that we prepare so that we can send aid to our suffering countrymen as soon as the way is clear. Also our Lodge, No. 170, AFU, is cooperating with the preparations committee for this big event. We hope that the results of this party will be very good as it is for a very worthy cause. In closing, I would again like to remind our members that they attend our next meeting, Wednesday, May 20th. Fraternal regards to all and we’ll be seeing you at the meeting. For Lodge 170, AFU. Agnes Jurecic, Secretary. Visiting editorial offices of Nova Doba Monday were Angela Mele, a member of Lodge 36, Conemaugh, Pa., who attended the convention of the Progressive Slovenes fraternal society in Cleveland and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Gabrenya Jr. and son, Robert, of Park Hill, Pa., also members of Lodge 36, AFU. ❖ * “Festival of Song” known as “America’s greatest hour of song” will be held in Cleveland’s Public Auditorium, Sunday, May 17th at 4 p. m. The event will feature the music of thousands of choral voices, 400 band musicians and several opera stars as soloists. Admission is free. Direction is by Dr. Rudolph Ringwall, associate director of the Cleveland orchestra. Over 6,000 singers including several high school bands will pai’ticipate. The program will be broadcast from coast-to-coast and to America’s Armed forces abroad through CBS. In Lloydell, Pa., Lodge 35, AFU, is sponsoring a dance on Saturday, May 16th in the lodge hall. The affair begins at 8 p. m. President Roosevelt has designated Sunday, May 17th, as “I Am An American Day.” This day has been set aside in honor of those who have acquired U. S. citizenship this year, and will include those who will have reached their 21st birthdays. Recommended also iff-that all Americans take this day to commemorate our own citizenship by each individually pledging themselves to our United States as good loyal citizens, and that we will remain united and strong to our adopted country in our fight against the Axis nations.

Get one todayI By Little Stan Euclid-Cleveland, O. — A man who will be 76 years old Saturday, May 16, who was actively employed until, four or five months ago, and who for over 40 years championed the Amex'i-can Fraternal Union, as the best society for his family and for himself, occupied the pedestal of honor as Napredek’s, Lodge 132, AFU, gathered to pay high honor and respects Friday night at the Slovexxe Society Home on Recher avexlue in Euclid. That man was John Pritekel, Sr., a member of our AFU for 40 years, who x-eceived the Veteran’s Emblem of Honor at im-pi-essive exercises conducted at the May meeting of Lodge 132. Honor guests who participated in the memoxial exex’cises were our supreme president, J. N. Rogelj, who gave the addx-ess of px-esentation, and followec} by pinning the gold emblem on Bro. Pritekel’s lapel; our Edi-tor-Manager of Nova Doba, Bro. A. J. Terbovec, and Little Stan. Napredek’s members, young and old, turned out nicely, for this excellent event. Regular business was disposed of in quick time as they prepared for the ceremony honoring Bro. Pritekel. But you could tell that Napredek's membex-s were lining their sights on the grand prize which will be awarded the lodge enrolling the most new mexpjpers in our 1942 Juvenile Campaign. For during the meeting, several more new juvenile members, including several adults wex’e eni’olled into the society. And from these results, it appeared that Napredek’s was fast closing the gap, and threatening the lead in the National race for new members. Lodge 190, Western Sisters of Butte, Montana, have maintained a steady lead up to the last report. Judging from the number of new members admitted into the lodge at this session, it appeared likely that Lodge 132 would step into at least a tie, if not in the lead when the next report is issued. Included among the guests were Mrs. Janko N. Rogelj, and their little daughter Carol, latter who enjoyed the first official “sejo” in her career. She was thrilled beyond words. Mrs. Little Stan attended the affair with the Rogelj’s. Officei’s of the lodge handled their posts with the prestige and dignity of the moment. Bro. Gruden pi’esided in good style while the active secretary, Bro. John Tanko brought out the business at hand. Their ax1-rangements were excellent. As soon as the suprema officei’s and guests arrived, they paid x-espects with welcoming applause. Business was temporar-ily suspended and Bro. Pritekel took his seat of honor, as the program went underway. In the official px-esentation speech, Bro. Rogelj paid tribute £o Bro, Pritekel for his fine rec-ord, and followed by pinning the fljold emblem on hiš lapel. He followed this with a warm handclasp of congx-atulations. Fervent applause followed the action. Bro. Frank Sesek, active youth leader, tendered his sin cere congratulations in behalf (Continued on page 6) Lorain, O. — Presentation of gold Honorax’y Emblems to our 40-year veterans will highlight the next meeting of Lodge 6, AFU., scheduled Sunday, May 17th at 1 p. m., at the usual quarters. All members of our lodge—both men and women— are urged to make every effort to be present on this grand occasion. We are planning an impressive progx*am for the veterans, and a good time is promised for all who attend. Honored pioneers who will be feted and honored are: Frank Kristoff, Frank Ambrožič, John Piskur, John Svet, and Frank Tomazin. At pi’esent two of our honor veteran members are on the sick list. They are Brothers John Svet and John Piskur, and it is our hope they recover speedily so that they can attend our affair. Following the meeting, re-fi'eshments will be sexwed and we have asked several of our membex's to bi’ing along their accordions. This will be a real party and those attending it, Will not foi’get it for a long time. We have invited B^o. J. N. Rogelj, our supreme president, to attend our important meeting, therefoi'e, we would like a 100 per cent attendance. Reminds of Camj>aign At this time, I would also like to remind members of our 1942 Juvenile campaign for new members. Parents who have not yet eni'olled their childi-en into the lodge ax*e invited to do so immediately. As you may al- x-eady have noticed in other issues of the Nova Doba, thei'e are sevei'al tempting pi'izes to be awarded the lodges having the largest enrollment of new juvenile members at the end of the year. Let’s go out and see if we can get some new members so that we can show some good results in the campaign in behalf of our lodge. War Stamp Dividends At its annual meeting, the Supreme Boai'd of AFU, authorized payment of a dividend of 50 cents to each juvenile member of the lodge in good standing as of March 31, 1942. This dividend will be paid in the form of War Stamps of 10-cent denomination. Each juvenile member will receive five of these 10-cent stamps. They will be distributed to them when their dues are paid at the next meeting, as I have ah’eady received them. We have 89 juvenile members in our lodge at px'esent. ■ With Uncle Sam We are proud to have seven of our adult members serving our country’s armed forces. They are: Brothers Joseph Pavlic)^ John Hribar, Victor Balanj,,-Frank Gradišek Jr., Ant If oily [ Evanish and John Zgonc. We, wish them the best of luck and good health throughout their seiwice. In closing, may I remind you again not to forget our next important meeting May 17th at 1 p.fm., in., regular quarters. Be^Ureg'ards to all. Ludvik J. Vidrick, sec’y, Lodge 6, AFU. Lodge 30 Sets Anniversary Party May 24 Chisholm, Minn. — An anniversary program followed by a banquet will mark the 40th anniversary of St. Joseph’s lodge here on May 24, lodge officials announced today. Civilian Defense Dance With the Cardinals Sti'uthers, O. — It’s been a long time since this writer has submitted an ai'ticle for Nova Doba, in fact, before beginning, had to brush away the cobwebs from the pen and paper. First we’ll tell you about a dance that is coming up May 16, 1942, at the Croatian hall, 199 | Lowellville road, in Struthers, Ohio. Polkas and jive-jumping, etc., will be done to music by the Continental Four for the benefit of our Civilian Defense Corps of this city. Sponsors ai’e all the Slovene and Croatian lodges and clubs. Be sure to be on hand. Refi-eshments will be sei’ved in the basement. I just know you’ll have a swell time. Cardinals are giving away a $25.00 War Bond on June 14, 1942. So all you Cards are urged to step up on your sales and see Jennie Millosin, your treasurer, to replenish your supply. Such little things will help get rjd of the Axis pestilence that has infested this world. By buying War Bonds and Stamps you will also be saluting the boys in the service and I’m sure they’ll have a big smile for you all. Cardinals Juveniles wish to thank our AFU for their splendid gift — the ivar-savings stamps they received. Now for a few short stories: Mary Penich, our secretary, is giving up her job and intends to make her home in Cleveland in the near future. A. Shattuck, her one and only, has bad tires on his car and I believe this may be the beginning of the end of a sweet romance. — Because Mr. Henderson will not issue tires to a playboy. You know, Mary, that Allen isn’t much for walking. (Continued on page 0) The program will be held in tlxe Community building auditorium and will start at 2 p. m. honoring xxine charter members of the lodge including: Frank Gouze, John Russ, John Pahule, John Loushine, Frank Hren, Joe Loushine, Anton Vidmar, Sr., Joseph Globokar and John Korbar. • Out of town speakers expected for the big anniversary party include J. N. Rogel, supreme president, and Anton Zbasnik, supreme secretary. An outstanding feature of the afternoon program will be the distribution of defense stamps to about 200 juvenile members in good standing. All children under 12 years, however, must be accompanied by their parents. —Chisholm Mesaba Miner.

NANCY THAT‘5 PEFENSE STAMPS BOY FRIEND/ con T/ttsir?J3Z> TO THE PSFEHSlT SAVINGS P/jQCrXAM :/il.exa. Courtesy United Feature Syndicate Kodiak, Alaska. — I have been a member of Lodge No. 70 in Chicago, 111., for about fourteen years. In November 1940, I joined the Marine Corp and since then I have seen many places and met a great variety of people. As I haven’t written to the “Nova Doba,” for a very long time, I thought that I would write and tell many of you back in the States about life here in Alaska. With your permission and your indulgence I shall tell you what little I know of this isle called Kodiak. I came here in June of last year at the height of the summer season. While on my way, probably had the same thoughts of this place as many other tenderfoot. Desolation, and dreariness were my idea of Alaska. But, I was mistaken. What I found was a countryside that was green, and things in general, as one would find in any part of the United States. ater, I found out that one could hunt, fish and climb mountains, or do most anything on this isle. Everything was within easy walking distance. The summer here is wonderful. Daylight lasts until about midnite, then about one hour of darkness, and we have the dawn. With the long daylight hours we have plenty of time to do whatever we want. Last summer I spent many a sunny afternoon fishing. Salmon are plentiful, as well as trout. Near the end of the fishing season last summer, the salmon were so plentiful that we could catch them by hand. On one occasion we had our mascot, “Smoky” along with us. He put on quite a show. When he spotted a sal mon he would chase it down stream and catch it by its tail, give it a few shakes and then i;oss it on the bank. He caught five fish that way one afternoon. We fished for the fun of fishing and all of our catch went back into the stream. I have done no hunting here as yet. There are some small animals here, but the game all hunters go for is the big Kodiak Bear. Last November 'me bear fourteen feet long was shot Most people that have hunted them say that one of these bears in its natural habitat is truly beautiful creature, and it seems a shame to ghoot them. For any one that likes to tramp around in the forest, or likes to climb mountains that are not too high, this isle should be just the thing. The first day I got here Pclimbed one of the mountains on this isle. What surprised me was the fact that the mountain was green all the way to the top. By that I mean there was grass/and brush al the way to the top. In places, it helped a lot to make the climb easier. We had many a social dance and party here last summer. In fact, it is the opinion of many people here that more socials were held here than some places in the States larger in size. Now that they have evacuated the women and children, all we have left is a smoker once month and the movies. The box ers that appear at the smokers are good. Many of them were at one time professionals and they put on a good show. The movies shown here are at least two years old. Sometimes they get a year old movie. The newsreels shown are about three months old, and the news is generally stale. About seven miles along a mountain road lies the town of Kodiak. It isn't much of a town When yJoe E. Brown the movie star was here last month, he said that Kodiak was the biggest liquor store he was ever in. He was right. They have some mud ruts they call streets and until a few weeks ago such a thing as a cement sidewalk was not seen in town. Most of the business establishments located in town are either liquor stores or saloons. They have a few clothing stores and about three grocery and meat markets. Two movie houses and the same number of drug stores. The few restaurants here do a thriving business. The prices here are high. About as high as one would pay in some better class restaurant r saloon in the States. The cheapest drink, outside of beer, is forty cents, and they range from' there on up. Many of you may have read the article about Kodiak in Esquire magazine. The writer claimed that it cost seven dol-ars to get a taxi ride .from own to the base. Well he is wrong. It costs a person fifty cents to go to either the town or aase. But if a person charters a cab, it costs the person three dollars. That isn’t anywhere near seven dollars. I would like to see anybody get a seven-mile ride in a cab in the States for fifty cents. At least it hasn’t lappened to me. Almost everyone that comes here writes a poem about this place. Yours truly hasn’t written one, and I don’t think I will. There have been poems written about this isle, the freight and about almost everything that concerns this place. Now that the white women have gone back to their homes in the States, about all we can see is the native Klootch. They are the girls here and I really don’t know where they get the name. I shall quote a few lines of k poem concerning the Klootch. “Now in the ‘States’ where I’ve lived long, Life’s made of women, wine and song, But h£re in Kody—you get your laugh With “hooch”—a klootch-and a phonograph.” This above piece should also give you an idea of the kind of poetry written about this p#lace. We have two papers here on this base. One is the Kodiak Bear, which was given a write- I ’ up in Life magazine and the other is the “Williwaws,” a paper that is mimeographed by the Contractor’s personnel. Each paper is made up of stories of the people on the base. They knock everything and everyone. No one is safe. The “Williwaws” has a motto, “Today’s news, two weeks from now.” And that is just about the way it is. We also have a 15-watt radio station here. If it wasn’t for the station, we here couldn’t use our radios during the daytime. Many a good show is put on by the personnel of the base and everyone enjoys them. It is dependable as we cannot pick up the radio stations in the States during the day. The station picks up some of the better radio programs and then rebroadcasts them. They also have a collection of some of the latest records so that we hear the latest songs. When Joe E. Brown was here, the station put on as good a broadcast as one would hear in the States. It was the best program they ever put on. In summing it all up, I can sincerely say that life here isn’t as bad as some people think it is. We have our hardships but, we also have our fun. People here work hard and when they play, they play hard. But, I guess that is the spirit of Alas ka. Many people that are here now because of the war, will probably come bafck to this isle and revive a few memories of the fun they had when they were up in Kodiak, helping in the war effort. Yes, I must say By Wilfred A. Peterson, Editor, The Friendly Adventure LITTLE STAN’S ARTICLE (Continued from page 5) Cardind You know the story of Ferdinand the Bull. He loved to smell the dasies but he -wouldn’t fight. He was a pacifist bull—a lover of peace and quiet. Then one day the toreadors came to the field where Ferdinand and his brother bulls were pastured. They were searching for the nost ferocious bulls for the bullfights. All the other bulls strutted their stuff showing how rough and tough they were. But Ferdinand just went on smelling daisies in complete indifference. And then, suddenly, something happened to Ferdinand! He was stung by a bee! Instantly he was prancing down the field with the power of a thunderbolt! He smashed through a stone wall! He crashed through a tree! The toreadors opened their eyes in amazement—never before had they seen such a powerful bull. He was the unanimous choice for the fight! Ferdinand didn’t prove a success at the fights. No bees stung him and he went back to his daisy-sniffing. But what a fighter he would have been if the toreadors had known the secret of arousing him and had kept a few bees at tend to get him started. There are many men like Ferdinand. They don’t know their own power and ability until they are stung by an idea, or an ideal. Montaigne was right when he said: “Men are nothing until they get excited.” To succeed we must get excited about our jobs, our territories, the products we are selling and the business we are running. The bee that stung Columbus was the idea that the world was round. It so excited his imagination that he dared the unknown seas. Ford was stung by the idea of a low-priced car for the American workman. Every factory smokestack is the result of someone being stung by an idea. Today men buzz through the air like bees because the Wright brothers were stung by the idea that men could fly! “Excitements, ideas and efforts are what give energy,” said William James, father of modem psychology. Grant worked in a tannery and was nobody until the Civil War stung him into action. He became such a great fighter that his generalship won the war for the North. Undoubtedly Ferdinand himself was the most surprised of all when the bee stung him and he found himself tearing thru stone fences and making trees fly. He didn’t know he had so much power! The same thing is true of men. The scientists tell us that we use less than one-third of our potential power. If we can arouse the latent power within us perhaps we can surprise ourselves, too! “So if you want to go places, take a tip from Ferdinand and get stung by a ‘Big Idea or a Compelling Ambition! — Fraternal Monitor. of the younger members as did Bro. Tanko, and others. Bro. Pritekel was proud of this recognition as was every member who gathered together for the event. Remainder of the meeting was completed swiftly after which the floor was cleared and others stepped up to personally extend congratulations to Bro. Pritekel. Warm fraternal feeling was evidenced. Another prominent member of Lodge 132 who was present was Anton Vehovec, an alderman on the Cleveland City Council. Mr. and Mrs. Golob, Mrs. Medved, recording secretary; Mrs. John Tanko, the treasurer; Mr. and Mrs. John Smrtnik, Sr., Frank Chukayne, Mr. and Mrs. Lou Sajovec, Mr. and Mrs. Orazem, Mrs. Slopko, and her little charge — and ever so many others participated equally. Beanie Pritekel and his wife came over later to congratulate daddy and enjoyed the pleasant after-meeting atmosphere. Before concluding the session, Bro. Gruden called upon the members and guests for remarks. Bro. Rogelj praised the lodge for their fine work and explained to the members how a unit for Jugoslav Relief could be formed in Euclid, O., in addition to giving them information regarding the activities of the unit. Bro. Terbovec congratulated Bro. Pritekel and expressed his pride for Napredek’s lodge, pointing to their many fine members who have cooperated to show exceptional results in every campaign. Bro. Frank Sesek reported on sports activities and urged the young men to continue their fine work, not only on the sports field but in enrolling new members as well. The only thing that Little Stan could say was to repeat the fine congratulatory message to Bro. Pritekel and point out that Napredekis was the best of lodges in our entire organization. Delicious refreshments were served and the members and guests visited until late. This is another example of Napredek’s fine hospitality. We have yet to see an event sponsored by Napredek’s that didn’t go over with a bang—always a success. And we’re looking forward to their picnic at Stusek’s Farm on June 21st! Congratulations, Bro. Pritekel! Congratulations to the entire membership of Napredek’s lodge. You are an outstanding example of our entire American Fraternal Union!

V| i Lodgej^i Safety Vital to Victory ! Injuries and deaths growing | jout of traffic accidents rob our I war effort of valuable man-Ihours of productive capacity. Pamage to automobiles is a costly drain on critical materials, but much more important is the production time lost by an injured workman. All of us are affected by this loss as our lib-! erty Is at stake, and each one of us in our own way must fight to protect that liberty and we must be fit to fight. Never could | the country less afford the loss iof any worker or an hour of I production time. The prevention of accidents is the concern of every citizen. President Roosevelt says: “Lost time is the only thing we can’t recover.” The President also recognizes .that the magnitude cf the accident toll constitutes one of the serious impediments of war production and that accident prevention work is a national necessity at this time. You can cooperate in the reduction of traffic accidents by operating your cars so that accidents just can’t happen, and if walking by crossing streets at the crosswalks with the signal. George J. Matowitz, Chief of Police July 11, 18, and 25 are the dates/selected for barn-dances to be sponsored by Betsy Ross, Lodge 186, AFU. The lodge will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a dance Nov. 28th. 1942. the other speakers. It was certainly an honor and pleasure to have the representatives from local headquarters with us, which will make our celebration a memorable one. The meeting closed, we then joined in some refreshments and round-the-tj-ble informal discussions. We hope that all had a pleasant evening, and we thank our vis'itors for coming, and say to them: Welcome again aeoii. In a letter received from our friend and fellow Napredek, Pvt. Johnny Smrtnik, he wishes to be remembered to all the AFU bowlers and friends. He is now stationed in California’s Sahara desert. Describing his surroundings, he states that it is very hot and dusty. Evening, however, are cool and comfortable for sleeping. The cactus is beautiful in bloom, but not so pleasant to the touch. — We again wish him good luck and hope he .will be home before too long, as we miss Johnny. — Another letter received by a Napredek member was sent by Laddie Debevec of Ilirska Vila. It is nice to hear from our friends in the Service. No doubt they would be even more happy to receive a line,from us. Let’s remember them with letters— and remember them, too, with U. S. Bonds or Stamps. For Napredek, 132, AFU: F. Sesek Ivies Number 1 Drub Betsy Ross M. Krall Blasts 653 Cleveland, O. — Once again the Ilirska Vila No. 1 crew proved themselves the jinx to the league leading Betsy Ross Flagmakers by drubbing them "!1 three games. The three setbacks narrowed the Flagmakers’ lead to four games with only six games remaining to be bowled. For the Ivies the triple win pushed them into second plače two games ahead of the Collinwood Boosters. In .their last two encounters with the two Ivies teams the Betsy Ross crew has suffered five straight defeats. In subduing the Betsy Ross crew the Ivies belted the Maples for a 2549 count. The B. R. lads came close to ending their losing streak in the second game when they lost by a mere two piqs. The only bright star in Betsy Ross downfall was Mike Krall, who set a new mark by belting the ten pins for a 653 total. The mainstays for the Ivies’ triple win were John Hrvatin with 542 and Steve Meyak with 530. Saints Upset Boosters Another surprise upset was turned in by the St. John Saints as they white-washed the Collinwood Boosters. The triple reverse was very costly for the Boosters as they were dropped into third place and are now trailing the Ivies by two games, i For the Saints the victory placed them more secure in i their fifth berth' in the race.

On that day Detroit was host to the “American fSlav Congress.” Hundreds gathered in the tState Fair Coliseum which was practically loaded down with red, white and blue bunting. Large signs honoring the Red Arjny, the Yugoslav Chetniks, the Polish armies, and all Slav Guerrilla fighters, hung everywhere. The program started with the national anthem followed by.a prayer for peace. It was then that almost everyone in the crowd noticed the backdrop on the stage—the sun ,had sent one beam straight to the middle of it. It was just as though a spotlight was thrown on it. The back drop was painted by a Russian boy. It was a Slav soldier standing with an American flag in one hand and a Slav ffiag in the other and trampled in the dust under the soldier’s feet was the Nazi Swastika. Paul V. McNutt gave a most interesting talk on the Slav’s role in the war. At his mere mention of the president’s name there was a thunder of applause. Among the other speakers were David McDonald, Senator Stanley Nocak, Blair Gunther, and R. J. Thomas. The latter gave everyone a gay feeling when he described Hitler as a maniac assassin with a comedian’s mustache. This of course brought another round of applause. For the first time in history all Slavs have joined together for one cause, Hitler’s defeat. With this thought in_ mind, let us try to bind ourJ organization together even more closely. And remember th§ ISlHv battle cry: “We Shall Win This War.”' Anna Hiti, Lodge 144, AFU. Briefs (Continued from pace 5) The Enemy is listening. He wants to know what you know. Keep it to .yourself’!

FIRST AID -Strabane, Pa. — The detailed first aid treatment for most wounds where bleeding is not severe are as follows: (1) The chief duties of the first aider arc tc prevent more germs from getting in and to use an antiseptic or germicide to destroy as many of the germs in the wound as possible. (2) Do not touch the wound with the hand, mouth, clothing or any unclean material. Only sterile gauze should* be used. (3) Do not wash with soap and water. It is impossible for first aider to do this without carrying in large numbers of germs from the surrounding skin and from the water itself. (4) Encourage soma bleeding if it is not already present by .very gently squeezing or “milking” toward the wound. This washes out some of the germs. (5) Apply half strength (2%%) tincture of iodine ones well down into the wound. Then on the skin around the wound for a distance cf from one-half to one inch. (6) Let the iodine get Very dry. If wrapped up while still wet blistering is likely to occur. (7) Apply a sterile dressing or compress and bandage snugly in place. This prevents dirt and germs from getting in tiie wound. Do not allow the dressing to slip r.Ir.ui c:.\.r the adjacent dirty skin as it will no longer be sterile, having picl:cd up corms. (8) Do not disturb blood clots. (Do not. tear a com-press from a wound.) (9) Never re-apply iodine. Do not use it near thq eyes or oody cavities, Dorothy Martinčič No. 149 AFU 40th Anniversary of Lodge 30, AFU, Chisholm.

Magic Carpet Juvenile Page MOTHER AND PATRIOTISM* Ely, Minn. — Sunday, May 10th, was Mother's Day. I wondered what I was going to buy for her, and I suppose you juveniles experienced the same trouble. But what every mother wants is lote, devotion, obedience and respect] not only on the day dedicated to her, but throughout the year. •My sister Florence recently received a 60-word speed test certificate for shorthand. Three of my cousins will graduate this year. They are Virginia Golobich, David Goulet, and Palcide Goulet. I wish to extend my congratulations. I know you are happy as you have worked hard these 12 years to earn your diploma. This will be a red-letter day for you. My mother is a Victory-Aid worker for owr block. There are 110 block-workers in Ely, A large number of boys left Friday for induction into Uncle Sam’s armed forces. Soon all our boys will bp ;one. We cannot do too much for our army men, for, they too, are leaving 'everything behind. Let us juveniles do all we can, which is little, but my' mother always said that it was the little things that added up to worthy deeds. Also, a penney saved here and ^liere will eventually accumulate to the point where we can buy War Stamps and : lends. Margaret Mary Startz (Age: 13) Lodge 1, AFU. NEWS FROM ELY, MINN. Ely, Minn. — Time flies! March 21st is the first day of spring. Easter is right around the corner. These days ohe soft rustle of the season orings on j spring fever and it makes you want to; stay out more. Easter brings jreat joy j and a desire for new clothes in pretty j cclored prints. I hope the Easter Bunny visits all juveniles and brings a lot of Easter eggs. j My oldest broUier Joseph left 31y,< 40ih ANNIVERSARY Chisholm, Minn. — Not having written for a long time, I decided to tell you all that Lodge 30, AFU., in which I am a member, is going to celebrate its 40 th Anniversary with a banquet on May 24th.

SPRING ACTIVITY St. Louis, Mo. — I have r.iot written to the Nova Doba for qu.io senu anic, so I thought that it would be a good idea to write a short letter. Naturally the war is the chief point of interest today. I am glad to see that so many of our lodges have done their part for victory by purchasing War .'Bonds. Well, spring is here and with it come3 the season of the year when we all want to get out/ and do things. Many people like to go to picnics. Some take part in summer sports: others are just spectators. But the main thing is we all enjoy ourselves at this time of the : -ear. I have had much fun, already this spring, sailing. Practically every Sunday we go to the Sea Scout Base to en-jcy ourselves. Our boats use the wind for power. We have races for the different classes of boats. In general we have o.uite an enjoyable time swimming and mailing. I am writing this letter in school. The bell is about to ring so I think I will say goodbye for now. I hope to write more next time. Frank Kodelja,t Lodge 87, AFU. RECRUITS FETED Ely, Minn. — Biggest excitement in Ely is that many of our young men are leaving for the army. One of the largest contingents of recruits left April 14th. Included in* this group is a well-known accordion player who has entertained at many of our AFU lodge dances and other events. He is Frankie Cromar. v The boys were given a party at the Yugoslav,National Home Sunday, April 12. It proved tc'be a big success. Mayor Jchn Kapsch and School Director John Draga von gave impressive speeches. It gave the boys added courage to fight and win the war. The tire shortage doesn’t seem to ho.ndicap the people who are ooming to Minnesota. I’ve seen a lot of tourists already. Minnesota always draws a lot of visitors each year.

Za njim je ostala vdova s tremi otroci v starosti od 7 do 15 let. Očitali so mu bili, da je ovajal ljudi Gestapovcem. Res je bilo vsaj to, da je bil načelnik “celice” Koroške Ljudske zveze, to se pravi, po Nemcih ustanovljene organizacije V deželi. Zato se je Koroška Ljudska Zveza udeležila pogreba z godbo in žalni govor je imel okrajn; vodja te Zveze, Oberwinkler. Tri dni pozneje je bil objavljen naslednji razglas: BEKANNTMACHUNG i Ponoči cd 25. na 26. avgusta je bil umorjen v Spodnjih Gorjah kovaški mojster Florjan Ulčar v svojem stanovanju. Za ta zločin jfe bilo danes na mestu u-mora ustreljenih pet mož: 38-!etni ključavničar Franc Soklič iz Krnice; 42-letni vrtnau Gcdfried Repe iz Gorij; 44-letni vrtnar Karl Repe iz Gorij; 52-letni delavec Ivan Zupan iz Neuminga (?); 47-letni tovarniški delavec Ježe Pikon iz Gorij- Dokazano je, da so se udeleževali komunističnih nasilnosti. Bled, 28. avgusta, 1941. Kutchera, načelnik civilne uprave Kolikor je znano,, so vseh pet nesrečnikov vzeli izmed talcev v Begunjah. Nekateri so bili tam že delj časa zaprti. Zgodaj zjutraj v četrtek 28. so jih poklicali nenadoma iz sob, naj se pripravijo na zaslišanje. Z velikim veseljem so drug za drugim sprejemali to novico, sojetniki so jim pa zavidali. Vsi so bili prepričani ,da je napočila zanje ura osvoboditye. Vsak se je poln najboljših nad poslavljal od tovarišev in iim voščil enako srečo v najbližjih dneh. Toda ko so £okVc3iii stopili na dvorišče je!n šnice, so stražniki vsaikega pograbili in zvezali. V tem hipu je vsakdo vedel, koliko je ura bila . . . Ob osmih so imeli žs vse v Gorjah blizu Ulčarjeve hiše. — Streljali so pa vsakega posebej, zato je ves strašni prizor trajal več ur. Siromaki so morali do dna izpiti čašo smrtne groze . . Ce so bili res kaj krivi, ni znano. Kvečjemu o Sokliču pravijo, da je bil zato zaprt, ker je ustrelil srnjaka in bil ovaden, da nosi prepovedano orožje. Dne 26. avgusta zjutraj je bil obstreljen vodja tkalnice v Jaršah, Mladen Halushan. To dosti veliko podjetje je zaposlovalo v jugoslovanskih časih kakih 600 delavcev. Že 28. avgusta; v petek, je izšla nova BEKANNTMACHUNG. Dne 26. avgusta je bil obstreljen itd. Za kazen je bilo danes pet mož: > > USTRELJENIH 27-letni kovač Jakob Dagarin iz Velikega Hriba; 21-letni čevljar Jožef Vinar iz Radomelj; 55-letni lesni nakupovalec Franc Vidmar iz Kamne Gorice; 34-letni Lovrenc Drugar iz Podgorice; 19-letni rudar Marcel Bergman iz Trbovelj. Dokazano je, da so se udeleževali komunističnih nasilnosti. Bled, 29. avgusta 1941. Kutchera etc. Podrobni pedatki o teh Obsojencih in okolnosti eksekucije niso znane. Dne 28. avgusta so Gestapovci odvedli bivšega župana Matevža Cengleta v Ribnem pri Bledu. Dobili so ga pri delu na žagi in je moral iti z njimi kar golorok, kakoršen je bil. Istočasno so odvedli nekega mlinarja. Vas Ribno leži tik pod Jelovico. Glede mlinarja ni znano, kaj je z njim, za Cengleta je pa bilo toliko uspešnih posredovanj, da so ga že 30. avgusta služil res v prave namene, ker bo močnejša blagajna Slovenske šole omogočila nadaljevanje razredov za pouk slovenskega jezika v Slovenski šoli SND.

Cleveland, O. — Slovenski narodni muzej SND. — Pred časom sem parkrat apeliral v listih na zavedne rojake in rojakinje v Clevelandu in drugih naselbinah države Ohio in prosil v imenu Slovenskega narodnega muzeja v S. N. Domu na St, Clair Ave., da Bi zbirali, hranili in poklonili “sales tax” znamke S. N. Muzeju, kateri bi te znamke vnovčil in z denarjem nabavil potrebno opremo za muzei, to je: razstavne omare, ki se jih sedaj nujno potrebuje, ako hočemo pokazati svetu, kaj vse se je doslej zbralo v muzeju. Glede tega sporočam vsem, ki se zanimate za S. N. Muzej, da je bilo zbiranje znamk doslej zelo uspešno in smo prejeli tekom petih mesecev skupaj toliko znamk, da je muzej prejel doslej že zanje $97.85 in imamo še za dobiti v kratkem $12.00. Zato izrekam na tem mestu vsem prav iskreno zahvalo za zbiranje znamk, tistim, ki ste pomagali zbirati, in vsem tistim številnim prijateljem, ki ste jih poklonili v ta plemeniti namen. Prosim vas vse, da še v nadalje zbirate “sales tax” znamke in jih poklonite S. N. Muzeju, da bomo dosegli zaželjeni cilj, to je vsoto $500.00. Z dobro volje to lahko dosežemo, če vsi še »nadalje tako pridno pomagate, kot ste zadnje mesece. Še lažje pa bomo dosegli cilj, če se naši armadi pridružite še vsi drugi, ki niste doslej še ničesar prispevali v ta namen. Cim yeč nas bo n^i delu, tem hitreje bomc dosegli kvoto, ki jo imamo začrtano za sedaj. V S. N. Muzeju je urejenih ir pripravljenih za ogled že nac 150 raznih slik, umetnih in fotografij. Nekatere organizacij« imajo že skoro vse konvenčne slike v tej zbirki, druge še žele malo. Nekatera društva imajc v muzeju svoje slike, druga še nič. Katera društva in organizacije še niso zastopana s svojimi slikami, ste prošeni, da prispevate, da se bo uredilo dc otvoritve S. N. Muzeja, kar be v letošnji jeseni. Slovenski narodni muzej si je ogledal te dni rojak Anton Kvas iz Kodiak, Alaska, in se mu je ideja in pa kar je videl razstavljenih reči tako dopadlo, da je na mestu daroval za nabavo razstavnih omar $10.00. Mislil sem si, če bi se našlo 50 tako dobrih naših ljudi, pa bi imeli takoj tukaj vse potrebne razstavne omare. Zato gre prav lepa zahvala Mr. Kvasu iz Alaske, ki se sedaj mudi v Clevelandu na obisku pri svoji sestri, katere ni videl že 35 let. Naj omenim, da se ta rojak bavi z gostilniško obrtjo v Kodiak, Alaski, že sko- izpustili in se je smel vrniti domov. Dne 1. septembra je bil blizu Domžal ustreljen pomožni carinik Johann Wutte. Že 3. septembra je nova Bekanntmach-ung naznanjala, da je bilo za ta zločin ustreljenih kar 10 mož in fantov. Wutte je bil namreč Nemec iz Rajha ... Imena ustreljenih so znana, ostale podrobnosti ne: 34-letni pomožni delavec Lovrenc Daragar iz Podgorice; 44-letni pomožni delavec Franc Koš iz Zaloga; 46-letni pomožni delavec Peter Šparovec iz Primskovega; 28-letni delavec v skladišču Andrej Korošec iz Domžal; 28-letni slikar Franc Golob iz Spodnjega Dravograda; 19-letni rokodelec Oskar Slemnik iz Slovenjgradca; 29-letni rudarski tehnik Ferdinand Hrovat iz Mekinj; 28-letni pomožni delavec? Pavel Korošec iz Krašnje; 20-letni dijak Mirko Pirnat iz Jarš; 19-letni kovač Ludvik Vert-nik iz Ruš. Dne 2. septembra je bil v svojem stanovanju na Koroški Beli ustreljen iz maščevanja tovarniški delavec Ivan Hrovat. O tem so znane naslednje podrobnosti. Tisto popoldne sta bila pri njem dva njegova prijatelja. Kar vstopi neznan , moški in vpraša za Hrovata. Hrovat je imel radijski aparat in prav tisto minuto je imel biti program, ki ga je hotel poslušati. Zato je dejal tujcu, naj ostane in posluša program, potem bosta govorila. Sedel je k aparatu, toda v tistem hipu je že počil strel, Hr ovat se je zgrudil smrtno zadet, tujec je pa izginil v splošni zmešnjavi. Čez dva dni je povedala nova Bekanntmachung, da so bili radi tega umora ustreljeni sledeči: ' < 38-letni zidar Franc Podgornik iz Javornika; 27-letni strojnik Albin Savli z Jesenic; 32-letni klobučar Franc Frelih z Jesenic; 29-letni tovarniški delavec Ludvik Stražišar z Jesenic; 20-letni čevljarski pomočnik Karl Kragolnik iz Javornika. Razume se,, da je tudi teh pet dolžil proglas komunističnih prekucij ... Skoraj istočasno s Hrovatom js bil ustreljen 66-letni Ignacij Koritnik. Ljudje so ga dolžili, da razkriva Nemcem skrivališča ubežnikov na Možaklji, čeprav je bil prvotno sam med ubežniki, pozneje se je pa premislil in se zapihal Nemcem. Kolikor je znano, do srede oktobra niso nikogar ustrelili za ta umor. (Dalje prihodnjič) Amerika mora v tej vojni zmagati, ker le z zmago Amerike in njenih zaveznikov bo ohranjena naša svoboda in bo zažarelo sonce svobode zasuž-' njenim narodom. Boj Amerike je boj nas vseh. ' DOPISI (Nadaljevanje s 3. str.) Ave. za porabo raznih prostorov v Domu za pevske vaje tekom njih obstoja in so nakazali S. N. Domu ček v znesku $100.00. Direktorij S. N. Doma je poklonjeno vsoto hvaležno sprejel in ob enem določil, da se to vsoto naloži v sklad Slovenske šole S. N. Doma in se jo bo rabilo za namene kot je bilo prvotno namenjeno, to je za pouk slovenske mladine v slovenskem jeziku. Prosvetni klub SND, pod čigar vodstvom se vrši pouk slovenskega jezica v Slovenski šoli, se iskreno zahvaljuje obema: odboru “Slavčkov” in direktori-ju S. N. Doma za velikodušni dar in razumevanje vrednosti znanja slovenskega jezika, in smo prepričani, da bo znesek naj pridobi tudi enega novega člana v mladinski ali odrasli oddelek, ako mogoče. Ako je dobra volja, se da marsikaj napraviti. Torej, potrudimo se in izvršimo našo bratsko dolžnost, do naših prijateljev, do društva in do ABZ. Nihče ne ve, kje in kdaj ga čaka bolezen ali nezgoda, zato je važno, da smo za take slučaje vedno pripravljeni z 'zavarovanjem v dobri podporni organizaciji. In, kot dobri pri-*jatelji bomo nagovorili tudi naše prijatelje, da vstopijo v Ameriško bratsko zvezo, kateri še niso člani, da.bodo zavarovani kot smo mi. Dalje prosim člane in članice, da točno plačujejo svoje mesečne asesmente taj-niku ali tajnici, kajti asesment mora biti vsak mesec točno odposlan na glavni urad. Bodimo točni in lojalni do organizacije v vseh ozirih. Bratskih pozdrav in na svidenje na seji! — Za društvo Danica, št. 124 ABZ: Matt Vogrich, predsednik. Chesivick, Pa. — članstvo društva Vesela bodočnost, št. 203 ABZ, obveščam, da, se bodo v bodoče naše redne seje vršile vsako tretjo nedeljo v mesecu. Seja se bodo vršile v Slovenskem domu v Acmetoniji in se bodo pričenjale ob 10. uri dopoldne. Prihodnja seja se b6 vršila v nedeljo 17. maja in želeti je, da bi se jo člani udeležili v večjem številu kot po navadi. Več članov želi, da bi si društvo nabavilo vsaj en vojni varčevalni bond Zedinjenih držav, in, ker nimamo posebno dosti denarja v blagajni, bo treba v to svrho določiti kak prispevek oziroma izredni asesment. Torej, pridite na sejo, da večina odloči, da potem ne bo od ene ali druge strani ugovarjanja, če bo naložen kak kvoder izrednega asesmenta. — V službi Strica Sama so zdaj trije člani našega društva: Albert Progar, Herman Shneider in Joseph Yelov-chan, Jr. Zadnje imenovani se je pravkar povrnil is Islandije po 10 mesecih, kjer je marsikaj videl in iskusil, posebno, kadar je toplomer kazal po 40 stopinj pod ničlo in več. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 203 ABZ: Joseph Yelovchan, tajnik. Cleveland, O. — članstvu društva Sv. Janeza Krstnika, št. 71 ABZ, sporočam, da sem sprejel tajništvo pri društvu meseca februarja, ker na december-ski seji izvoljena tajnica Elsie Desmond ni bila še v odraslem oddelku šest mesecev, torej v smislu pravil ni mogla sprejeti tajniškega posla. Zdaj bo pa kmalu kvalificirala za ta urad. Za enkrat ji še lahko plačujejo asesmente tisti člani, ki živijo v Euclidu v njeni bližini, za druge posle pa naj se obrnejo na spodaj podpisanega. — Za društvo št. 71 ABZ: Ivan Kapelj, tajnik. Kitzville, Minn. — člani in članice društva Janeza Krstnika, št. 112 ABZ, so vabljeni, da se gotovo udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 17. maja. Na dnevnem redu bo zadeva posebnega asesmenta in druge reči. Pridite na sejo vsi! — Za društvo št. 112 ABZ: Frank Tichar, tajnik. Chicago, lil. — Pomožna akcija za stari kraj prav povolj-no napreduje med chicaškimi Slovenci. Ljudje, kateri razumejo zakaj se gre, so pridno na delu in pobirajo oglase, “Well Wisihers” in1 “Patrons”, da je veselje, in naša programska knjiga bo živ spomenik ljudem’ kateri delajo in darujejo. Ti chi-caški Slovenec ali Slovenka, ki nisi do sedaj še ničesar dal, zbudi se sedaj in pomagaj, kolikor pač moreš. Ali te ne bo sram, ko bodo tvoji sorodniki in prijatelji pregledovali to programsko knjigo in iskali tvoje ime, pa ga ne bodo našli? Čudili se bodo, da ti, ki si vedno imel dobro srce, nisi sodeloval pri tako plemenitem delu. Nič ti ne bo pomagalo, koliko boš pozne-] je poslal, ker tvoji ljudje ne bodo mogli razumeti, zakaj nisil sodeloval pri skupni akciji chi-1 caških Slovencev. Jaz sem prepričan, da noben Slovenec ni tako zakrknjen,! do bi ne pomagal v tako veliki | potrebi. Torej tudi ti še danes stopi do bližnjega odbornika in j mu daj oglas ali pa dar. Ako ns I storiš tega,- boš zapisan kot črna ovca med belimi, ko se bo Ipisala zgodovina, kdo je poma-! gal trpeči domovini v času, ko je šla skozi največji pekel v zgodovini svojega obstanka. Ravno včeraj je prejela moja žena nazaj dve pismi, kateri je pisala 24. marca 1941. Pisala je svojim sorodnikom na Gorenjskem. Ali veste, kaj je bilo v teh pismih? Bile so same razglednice za veliko noč, in na nje je samo napisala voščila in vprašala, ako so vsi zdravi. Pisma, oziroma kartice, je nemška cenzura pregledala in jih vrnila nazaj, kamor so prišla čez 13 mesecev, od kar so bila odposlana iz Chicaga. Ali drugi ne dobite pisem nazaj? Kdor hoče videti ta pisma, so mu vedno na razpolago. Če ne pustijo niti tako nedolžnih pisem oziroma voščil skozi, potem si vsak človek lahko predstavi, kako se godi ubogim ljudem v starem kraju. Še enkrat vam kličem: ljudje, zbudite se, in pomagajte kolikor vam je pač največ mogoče; da ne bo prepozno. Prihodnja seja zastopnikov društev, bo v ponedeljek 18. maja v Tomazinovih prostorih na Cermak in Wolcott St. Pričetek seje bo točno ob 7:30 zvečer. Nabiralcem oglasov, “Well Wishers” in “Patrons” sporočam, da naj vse, kolikor imajo nabranih, prinesejo ne pozneje kot do 15. maja tajniku Mr. Gottliebu, 1845 W. Čermak Rd., ali pa podpisanemu. V slučaju, da dobite še kakšen oglas pozneje, ga prinesite na sejo 18. maja; toda to storite samo v slučaju, da niste mogli preje izročiti. Razumeti morate, da je treba oglase in program urediti in tiskati, kar vzame veliko časa. Torej, ne zadržujte, stopite še danes ven in napravite svojo dolžnost. — Za lokalni odbor JPO.SS: Anton Krapenc, predsednik. Moon Run, Pa. — člane in članice društva Sv. Frančiška, št. 99 ABZ, pozivam, da se kar mogoče polnoštevilno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 17. maja. Obenem so vsi člani in članice prošeni, da predlagajo kaj novih kandidatov na prihodnji sejj. Ne pozabimo, da je kampanja. Tistim, katerih ni bilo na zadnji seji, naznanjam, da je naše društvo sklenilo, da bo sodelovalo pri skupni veselici, katero priredijo slovenska društva v naši naselbini v soboto 23. maja. Rojaki in rojakinje tega okrožja so že zdaj vabljeni, da posetijo to veselico. Seveda bi se morali iste - udeležiti člani in članice našega društva vsi do zadnjega. Za dobro godbo in drugo postrežbo bo v polni meri poskrbljeno. Dobiček veselice je namenjen za tiste fante, ki so v službi Strica Sama in ki bodo še vpoklicani. Od našega društva jih je sedaj šest v vojni službi Zedinjenih držav in mi jim želimo, da jih sreča spremlja *na vseh potih in jih zdrave pripelje spet med nas.

Doma je iz Sodražice! in je prišel v Ameriko leta 1901 < v Cleveland, O., od tu pa se je podal v Alasko leta 1907 in od tedaj je prišel sedaj prvič na. obisk v Cleveland. Za muzej je prispevala tudi Mrs. Angela Smrdel iz Clevelan- j da $1.00 in neimenovan prijatelj iz Collinwooda 50c. Vsem se. prav lepo zahvalim v imenu muzeja za finančno pomoč. Da je S. N. Muzej zdrava ideja, za katero se je vrednor zanimati in jo krepiti, dokazujejo tudi Amerikanci, ki nam skušajo iti na roko pri delu čim več mogoče. Tako je vodstvo clevelandske javne knjižnice obljubilo, da nam bo za otvoritev muzeja posodilo toliko razstavnih omar, kolikor jih potrebujemo, in to brezplačno. In vodstvo Western Reserve Historical Society muzeja je obljubilo vse svojo strokovnjaško pomoč za ureditev prve razstave Slovenskega narodnega muzeja. Torej, če se Amerikancem vidi naš muzej toliko vreden, da nam nudijo tolikšno pomoč pri njem, zakaj bi se ne ogreli zanj v večjem številu še Slovenci? Dajte, pomagajte nam sedaj, ko potre: buje muzej podpore, da se ohrani delo današnjega in včerajšne-ga dne v spominu za bodočnost. Za Slovenski narodni muzej SND: Erazem Gorshe, tajnik-arhivar. Chicago, lil članstvu društva Liberty Bell, št. 70 ABZ, naznanjam, da se bo prihodnja društvena seja vršila v soboto 16. maja. Seja bo vršila v navadnih prostorih in se bo pričela točno ob 8. uri zvečer. Naše seje so pr^fiej dobro obiskane, vendar je še veliko članov, katere zelo malo zdaj vidimo na naših sejah. Dolžnost vseh članov je, da pridejo na seje in da z dobrimi nasveti pomagajo odboru voditi, društvo tako, da je v korist društ;yu in Zvezi. Nekateri člani vedno zabavljajo čez eno ali drugo stvar, češ, da se ne vrši pravilno. Takim članom jaz svetujem, da naj pridejo na seje, ker edino fam je pravi prostor za preurediti ali predrugačiti društvene zadeve. Vse godrnjanje po salunih in privatnih hišah ne pomaga nič, in samo dela škodo vam in društvu. Torej še enkrat vabim, da pridete na sejo in vem, da se bomo prav lahko pogovorili, članom, kateri tako radi zaostajajo z asesmentom, svetujem, da so nekoliko bolj točni, ker ako se bom ravnal po pravilih, kar se mi vedno svetuje, potem bodo nekateri člani vsaki mesec suspendirani, če pomislite, da je vaš tajnik samo delavec, ki ravno tako trdo dela za svoj kruh, kot vi, potem boste pač razumeli, da vaš asesment mora biti plačan redno vsaki mesec. Jaz nisem bil navzoč na zadnji seji, ampak slišal sem tako po strani, da so nekaj razpravljali, da bi bilo dobro raz^ pisati kazen $5.00 ali celo $25.00 na vsakega člana, kateri ne bo dobil vsaj enega člana v mladinski ali pa odrasli oddelek v letošnji kampanji. Vem, da nočete plačati tako visoke kazni, zato vam svetujem, da stopite takoj na delo in pripeljite že na prihodnjo sejo vsaj vsak enega novega člana. Vsa potrebna pojasnila vam bo tajnik prav rad dal in pomagal dobiti nove člane. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 70 ABZ: Anton Krapenc, tajnik.
