Family - A wareness - Hope
As we enter the New Year 1 would like to wish God’s choicest blessings on all of our Slovenian Women’s Union membership and their families. A new decade is upon us, and I think we should stop for a moment to reflect on the accomplishment of the past decade and also what our pitfalls have been. Only in this way, can we start to make a better tomorrow. With 1980 designated as the Year of the Family let us renew that same spirit our parents and grandparents gave to us. Much has been lost, but it is never too late to take time to increase our awareness, of who we are, what we are, and where we are going.
This brings to mind a specific goat for each and everyone of us. A special effort to increase our S. W. U. membership in 1980 is extremely important. 1 am sure everyone of us can ask at least one friend or relative to join; let’s try! When we meet at our Minnesota Slate Convention this fall, 1 am hoping to receive a good report regarding increased membership.
May we continue to uphold our Slovenian heritage with the same true dedication Mrs. Marie Prisland fostered during her entire lifetime.	VICTORIA BOBENCE
Minnesota President

CLEVELAND’S CELEBRATION OF BARAGA DAY
Last September, all Cleveland participated in the finest celebration of Bishop Baraga Day ever! The crowds, ceremonies and pageantry was unforgettable.
Our cover photo-story shows some of the highlights of the day.
Top left photo is of Most Rev. Joseph Bernardin, Bishop of Cincinnati during his homily given at the solemn high mass at St. John’s Cathedral. Center top was taken during the mass with all con-celebrants — main celebrant was Cleveland’s Bishop, Most Rev. James Hickey. On the right is Bishop Alojs Ambrožič of Toronto, Canada. He spoke of Baraga's most inspiring life at the candlelight procession Saturday night on the grounds of the Marian Shrine of Providence Hgts., on Chardon Road. (More photos in Slovenian section.)
In the next set of photos we see Rev. Victor Tome, chairman of the 1979 event and pastor of St. Mary’s church in Collinwood whose parishioners have been very generous to the Baraga Cause and Bishop Hickey, listening as the Baraga Association Secretary, Agnes Rufus, gives her annual report at the business meeting. Ms. Rufus is also the editor of (he Baraga Bulletin and accepts memberships and donations in her office at 239 Baraga Ave., Marquette, Mich. 49855.
In the center is the bronze relief of Baraga by Miro Zupančič of New York. This relief has been placed on the landmark home of the Joseph Lah family in Trebnje, Slovenia where baraga once resided. The right photo is of Baraga Man of the Year, Joseph Zelle of Cleveland and Rev. Charles Strelick, Director of the Bishop Baraga Association.
Left and lower photos show the combined chorus of voices on stage at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Ave. and groups of pilgrims in their Slovenian native costumes of Bela Krajina and Gorenjsko. They came from all over the midwestern states and Canada to witness their determination that some day the Catholic world will know Baraga as a saint. Baraga Day in 1980 will be held at St. Joseph’s church, Joliet, III.

March is the time our thoughts are turning to spring which is not too far off with plans in the making for the next few months. At our meeting, we are having a “St. Joseph Table” and members are asked to bring their favorite dishes along with a recipe card of that particular dish. These recipes will be printed in the ZARJA sometime in the future. (We '' be sending them to Hermine Du 'ir Pots and Pans lady!)
Lil Siebert, an employee at Reliance Federal Savings and Loan, volunteered to be our guest speaker at the February meeting. The topic was on “banking”. Questions and Answers were enjoyed after her presentation. Very interesting.
Our April meeting will also have a guest speaker. Marie Ovnik, travel director with her own travel agency, will be on hand to tell us about her most interesting trips all over the world. She has slides, also, that will supplement her talk. We know it will be a wonderful experience to hear of
her travels. Guests are welcome to attend this special meeting, so bring your family and friends.
Fran Zefran and her daughter, Debbie, co-organized a skating party held at our parish roller rink on Jan. 31st for the American Cancer Society. The following members volunteered their help, Ann Mladic, Mamie Muller, Rose Zielinski, Irene Gibas and Yours Truly. It was a success and everyone had a lot of fun, the skaters and the helpers!
At our January meeting, the Mother of the Year for our Branch was chosen. She is Gloria Nusko, who became mother of twins born on New Year’s Day. She is the mother of 10! A program is in the planning by Ann Mladic who will chair the event. We hope all our members will plan on attending. The evening will begin with a special mass at 7 p.m. in tribute to our Mothers, living and deceased.
A group of our ladies visited Paula Ozbolt at the nursing home. It was a real bright day for Paula and the ladies enjoyed it as much as she.
Paula is over 90 now and as cheerful as ever!
Evelyn Tome’s husband, Vic, is in the hospital now as is Angie Blat-nik’s husband, John. We’ll remember them in our prayers hoping for speedy recoveries.
“Slovenian Heritage Day” will be held in Joliet on June 22nd and this year we hope our members will have a booth for Br. 2. Your help is needed in all departments, so we hope you will volunteer your services.
Our picnic in Lemont and ZVEZA DAY will be held on Sunday, July 20th. Workers and prizes are needed. Please bring prizes along to the meetings. Plan to attend this event and as many members do, make it a family affair. We promise you a worthwhile day spent on the beautiful grounds of the Slovenian Franciscan Fathers.
Happy birthday to Frances Kozel and Mitzi Krapence, also to all of you birthday ladies out of town and in the suburbs. God love you all -good health and see you at the March meeting.

RIGHT VISION
Reverend Bernard Horzen, O.S.B. St. Bede Academy, Peru, Illinois
A distinguished Britisher recently wrote that he visited an American home that seemed to have everything: two cars in the garage, a beautiful living room with expensive furniture, two color television sets, a kitchen filled with the latest gadgets including a microwave oven, a large swimming pool and a beautiful patio. However, the woman of the house was reading a book entitled HOW TO BE HAPPY! Among the number one best-seller books today are those on peace and happiness. To attain these we need a new vision. Solomon, the wise man of the Old Testament, wrote in Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Everyone of us needs a home and a horizon. You can’t defeat a person who has the right kind of a home. How thankful many of us are for the parents and family who gave us a home, not one filled with expensive rugs and appliances, but one where virtue was taught and practiced. Today, we must stabilize our family unit which is the basis of society. Everyone needs an anchor and a rudder as we travel in the storm-tossed sea of life — and that is our horizon. The home and the family must be centers of learning the fundamental principles of work, thrift, dignity and self-reliance, so that the individual can eradicate all tendencies toward idleness, unnecessary debt and waste. Parents should strongly encourage savings of money, food, clothing and other necessities. They should motivate young people to acquire as much advanced training and education as will befit their chosen vocation and make a contribution to their society. And by word and example, the Ten Commandments must be a rule of life, for their observance enables us to love God and one another.
I often thing about our forefathers who turned the bow of their little ship toward America with a tremendous vision in their hearts of a “Land of the free, and the home of the brave.” And when they carved out little fields in the wilderness, and raised a few crops, they set aside a day called Thanksgiving in holy gratitude to Almighty God. The Spaniards were here first. They came seeking gold, and lost every inch of their American possession. The French came next for gain in the fur trade.They opened all of Canada,and all of the Mississippi Valley. They lost the former to the British, and sold the latter for a song. The Colonists came last. They settled not in the rich Mississippi Valley, but in the cold, rocky, storm ridden Atlantic seaboard, and theystayed. Their vision was right. Doing all of our tasks with vision will bring victory, here and hereafter

Happy Birthday to our Branch! On March 8th we will be 53 years old! Two of our members joined in 1930 making them our special golden members. They are Josephine Boiko and Angela Strmole.

On our sick list we have Josie Kuret, Dorothy Perusek, Rose Verhotz, Agnes Yakos. A speedy recovery to all of them.
Our meeting in January was really nice. Many ladies came even tho the weather was cold. Mary Komidar and Louise Čebular, both our 90
year old members,were also there. They are true members of Ženska Zveza! We remembered all our departed members of 1979, including Mrs. Prisland, and a candle was lighted for all. Our president, Ann Markovich again re-elected, led us in prayer together. Something very nice. Thank you, ladies, who were present.

all the ladies who had their day in January.
Ladies, please remember the dues for 1980 are $3 more for everyone per year. I know it’s a hardship for some of you, but please don’t take it out on me. 1 am only your secretary, trying to do my job.
Come to our meeting in March, you are all welcome. Congratulations again to all of you on being our members, on our 53rd Birthday!
SOPHIE MAGAYNA NO. 12, MILWAUKEE, WI.
1980 started out being a good year weatherwise for which we are grateful as the biggest share of us can’t do the snow shovelling any more!
We had a very good attendance to start the year off and I was kept busy in January with dues collections, so if I miss anything, it will be because 1 had my mind on the money! 1 only hope 1 get everyone correctly as this is the year we start the 25 cent raise every month and Juniors only through age 18 may stay in the juvenile dept.
All officers were present except our honorary president, Frances Plesko who was awaiting a call to check in at St. Luke’s hospital where we already had Mary Potisk, “Peppy” Stiglitz and Jo Wilhelm’s husband, Frank. We prayed for the welfare of all as well as our departed members.
The reports were all read and accepted and we went on to our card party discussion. At least we have a hall for Sept. 21st, 1980 which was the only date available. So, from time to time, you will be reminded to start preparing now for any gift donations for that date.
We had numerous door prizes that were given out as well as the attendance prize, but I didn’t get the names of all the winners and donors. I’m sure we all are aware of these generous souls. The meeting ended in prayer led by Stavia Dobersek.
Our birthday girls were wished Happy Birthday with the usual melodious voices and cake &coffee was enjoyed. The bakers were Jennie Zelesnikar, Mary Kiel and my sister-in-law, Evelyn Laurich surprised us all, especially me, with a nicely decorated cake with Mother of the Year in pink icing on the white cake.
Thank you all for your donations and for being present. Let’s keep it
up! We need new members, so be on the lookout for prospects, especially the Mary’s, Marie’s and Mayme’s.
I’m happy to report that as this month ends, Frances Plesko, Mary Potisk and Josephine Stiglitz are all out of the hospital and we wish they stay in better health!
Our sympathy goes out to Christine Bojance and her family who lost her husband and their father; also, to the Pepan family of which Christine is a part. Pray for them as well as Mary Starieh and her family who losther only sister, leaving Mary as the last of the Novak family!
May the deceased enjoy perpetual peace! Remember them in your prayers as well as the sick.
Frank Wilhelm also is back home now and we are looking forward to seeing him around again as he has always been a big help to the ladies whenever needed, as well as sewing the little Christmas stockings we all took home with us last December.
God bless you all and let’s all enjoy a good year!
MARY DEZMAN NO. 13, SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
Branch No. 13 of San Francisco has much reporting at this time so please read this article in full as it will keep you informed of your lodge doings for the year of 1980.
Officers as follows: President: Josephine Aiuto, Vice-President: Anna Fabian, Recording Secretary: Sonya Gregorin, Financial Secretary: Moreen Spencer, Treasurer: Michael Twers (our new bride and former treasurer) Auditors:	Virginia
Sustarich and Rose Bianco; Reporter: Me, Fran Chiodo. Get to know your officers and lucky for us we kept all our officers in the same office they each held last year. We can help these fine officers with attendance ol our meetings and interjecting new and vital suggestions to assure a happy and eventful year.
Mother of the Year is Moreen (Sustarich) Spencer, Mamma of our delightful twin boys. Moreen has been our Financial Secretary for low these many years and most deserving of this honor. More to follow in future articles about this fine young lady. We have added to our Mother of the Year Breakfast this year an invitation extended to all husbands. To date this is our plan. Mass at the church of the Nativity at 8:30 a.m. with breakfast to follow at the Jack Tar Hotel 10:30 a.m. Bring your husband and family. Call Jo Aiuto for reservations... Dates assured.
Place pending. (Jack Tar Hotel Restaurant is being redecorated.) So, read your ZARJA.
In June is our proposed trip to Reno under the direction of Jo Aiuto; this date is not final as yet, more news to come on this item.
July and August: our vacation months; NO MEETINGS.
November: our ALBINA NOVAK DAY with Mass and breakfast, this date to be arranged in the future — more news to follow.
We have tried to give you some idea of the future activities our branch will enjoy. Some of the dates have not been finalized and should there be a change we will inform each and every one. Jo Aiuto has worked diligently to make our branch a success and only with the help of each and every member can we all reap a harvest of happiness with our Jo.
We have added husbands and family to our Mother’s Day Breakfast as we have learned there are many husbands who truly enjoy our days, especially the many trips to Reno where we really gel to know each other. This makes for greater interest in our other functions. We welcome all our friends and families to all our functions and work and pray for a successful 1980. For the interest by our men, Hvala!
As you all noticed, our dues are raised $3.00 per member per year. Of course, our branch does not receive any financial help from the Home Office so this does not enrich our treasury. Expense goes on each day so if we work together and make our branch a success we can all enjoy happy times together. Our Branch has realized an increase in our treasury due to our Reno Trips under the guidance of President, Jo Aiuto, so you see, our President is not only working for our good times bin for financial help for us.
God Bless each and every one and may your 1980 year be one of Happiness and Production to all.

At our December meeting we held our election of officers followed by a very nice Christmas lunch and an enjoyable “Penny Social”.
Our Holy Holiday Season )las now come and gone and for us we hope our coldest part of winter has also gone. We have been very for-timate this year weather-wise -although it was very unusual to have absolutely no snow for Christmas. This was well taken care of with a blizzard and a foot of snow Jan. 6.
Now we hope the weather will be good and attendance will be good at earh of our meetings held the first
Wednesday of the month.
In January our sympathy went out to Althea Tverberg and Gertrude Puchalla on the loss of their husbands, as well as to the Andrew Krizaj family on the loss of Rose Krizaj, a member for 36 years.
A gift was made to the scholarship fund in memory of Tony Puchalla by his family.
Prayers for any sick members as well as those recovered including Angela Blatnik, Rose Burger and Polly Stojevich.
Plans are in progress for social for juniors members by the two Sunnie Spehar’s.

The January meeting of Branch No. 34 was held on Wednesday, January 16 at St. Martin’s Parish Hall with fourteen members in attendance.

The following officers were elected for 1979-1980: President: Adeline Mustonen; Vice Pres. Mary Vollendorf; Sec. Treas. Victoria Bobence; Rec. Sec. Lorraine Berg; Auditors: Angela Planton, Sophie Zavodnick, Mary Gornick. The Books were audited and found to be correct.
Discussion was held about a
tribute in Minnesota for people of Slovenian heritage.
We are happy to report we have chosen Mrs. Herman (Agnes) Mesojedec to be our Mother of the Year, 1980. A short discussion was held concerning Minnesota Day, which our branch will host on Sunday, September 14. All members present signed a get well card for our charter member, Mary Pahula, who had just returned lo her home after being hospitalized in St. Mary’s Hospital in Duluth. Our best wishes, Mary, and for all our members who are ill — get well soon. Hostesses for the meeting were Mary Gornick & Helen Adkisson. The door prize was brought by Molly Wilson and won by Agnes Tekautz. Other winners during (he social hour were Agnes Mattson, Margaret Mesojedec, Angela Tekautz and Anne Vesel.

MARY PLOSZAJ NO. 41, CLEVELAND, OHIO
Although the weather was quite fair for this time of year, the attendance at the January meeting of Branch No. 41 was a bit disappointing. Our officers do their best to help with transportation so if we can help, call me at 261-0436 or Justine Ciirod at 481-3118. If at all possible, we’ll pick you up.
Our meeting was very interesting. Among the correspondence was a thank-you note from the Slovene Home for the Aged in Cleveland for the donation given them during the Holidays.Especially because several members of Branch 41 now reside there, we are happy to make our humble contribution. Past President Mary Bostian	sent	season’s
greetings. It is always nice to hear from her.
Our vice-president Justine Girod is having tickets	printed	for our
financial project which will take place in the fall of this year. Some will be lucky persons. There is a beautiful afgan was made by our Pres. Amelia Oswald, a lovely shawl donated by our loyal member Perina Dus, a basket of cheer and other prizes. You will receive tickets. Please make returns to Secretary Fortuna as soon as	possible.
Proceeds will help bolster our treasury so that our Branch will continue to exist.
A reminder also (hat dues have all been raised as of January 1, 1980. Those of you who pay by mail, please be sure to add $3.00 to your last year’s rate. Many members have failed to do this	which	adds con-
siderably to the Secretary’s work.
Another grand lady has been chosen for our 1980 Mother-of-the-Year, Amelia Oswald, president of

♦* PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
With the month of March, our thoughts turn to Lent and penance. It is a time to think about something nice to do for someone for the Easter season. Let us make a special effort to visit a sick friend , or offer to help a shut-ln- It gives a feeling of inner joy to be able to give of ourselves; it costs us but a little time.
How is our Marie-Mary-Mayme campaign? I have some nice reports from the Home office. If each officer would try to bring one new member, it would raise our Membership considerably. Also, try to keep your junior Members. Bring them together with some activity of their own choosing,with an adult leader to guide and assist them. There are many areas in which their interest lie.
•'nHodnik’s article was most timely and interesting; Wr'tf tp her with ideas so that you may combine them
1 read every article in the Zarja. While it takes time, I find it most interesting; each branch has it’s own activities and yet they are all trying to entice members to come to Meetings. We need to have something special each month. Well, let’s try!' Our branch, locally, is having a banker '"is month; travel agent the next and so forth. After a •ttle talk, we’ll have a Question and Answer session, that
usually turns out to be most interesting. We have to get our “think bonnets” on! Happy to hear that Branch 23 in Ely will particiapte in the National Baseball Tournament Parade. I’m sure your float will win a prize. While we have many steady reporters, there are some branches we never hear from. How about it?
Our Chicago Baraga Dinner on January 20th, was nicely attended and raised a goodly sum toward our goal. This is a worthy cause in which we should all participate.
As our Mother-of-the-Year in Branch 2, we have chosen Gloria Nusko (Novak). With the arrival of twins on New Year’s Day, she and Raymond became proud parents of ten children (all our members). Our best to you and your lovely family. Gloria is the sister of Corinne Leskovar.
Congratulations to Branch 40 in Lorain, Ohio; 50 years of togetherness is indeed an accomplishment.
To all members celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this month: my heartiest wishes for your happiness.
I	wish for all our ailing members the return of health; for our deceased members our prayers for eternal peace.
Happy Easter to you all. May God walk with you.

THE IMMIGRANT
© Irene M. Planinšek Odorizzi, 1980
JOSEPHINE FROM CELA
I	was born on November 11, 1894, on a farm among [he hills of the Slovenian valley in the village of Cela, Austria. My parents, Anton and Anna Rebich, owned a 40-60 acre farm, on which we raised such things as cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, corn, wheat, oats, barley.
Our family consisted of eight children: Mary, Anna, Rose, Tony, Josie (who died at age 4), myself, Agnes, and Jennie. My life on the farm wasn’t exactly easy. 1 would help my parents with the farm chores when I wasn’t attending school and church services. Mother was a good woman but very strict and extremely particular in making sure all jobs were done correctly. We were always busy working.
My father assisted us on the farm when he wasn’t working in America. During his three trips to America, he usually went to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where he worked in the tannery. His final trip to America was in
1911, after which he returned home and stayed on the farm.
My sisters and brother all went to America before 1 did. Anna, the second oldest, was the first to go. She settled in Sheboygan and soon marriedFrank Bojane They purchased a farm and lived in Marshfield. My sisters, Mary and Rose, both chose Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both girls married in America — Mary to Martin Zore, and Rose to Andrew Bizjak. My brother, Anton, married and then settled in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
When I was 17, my father began to arrange for my wedding to a wealthy 25-year old farmer. I wasn’t too happy with my father’s idea of marriage, nor choice of a husband. 1 confided to my oldest sister by writing her a letter and asking her to help me with passage to America. My sister, Mary, knew of a couple coming to Slovenia and the couple agreed to bring me the fare to come to America. My uncle (mother’s brother) then took me to the town of Micronia where we met this couple at a market and they gave me the money.
On September 15, 1912, two days later, I lett for America on the ship, Kroms Cecilia. On the twenty-first day, the trip became very rough, and nothing 1 ate would stay in my stomach. I lived on dried prunes and a little brandy. Even undef these dismal conditions, 1 looked forward to the land of opportunity, known as “God’s Country”. We finally reached America on October 6,
1912.
When 1 arrived in America, 1 lived with my sister, Mary, and worked for her in her tavern. This is where I met my husband, Joseph Paucek. Joseph came from Smihel in Novo Mesto. When he came to America, he worked on the Milwaukee railroad and lived on Virginia Street across from the tannery.
Soon after we were married, we decided to start a business, and opened a small tavern. We lived on Lake Street at this time and this is where my first child, Jennie, was born on July 19th.After Jennie’s birth, we moved to
Virginia Street, and a few years later we bought a small home on 89th and Beecher in West Allis, Wisconsin. Mv family soon included four boys and two girls: Jennie Rudolph, Joseph, Edward, Lillian and Ralph.
Then I decided to find some employment and went to work in the Monarch Tailor Shop on Broadway Street. My mother-in-law stayed with us and baby-sat while 1 worked. After she passed away in 1928, I had to quit my job to take care of the family home. My husband changed jobs and went to work at Donahue Stratton Grain Elevators.
During the depression, things got pretty rough. Joe could only work one or two days a week, and because of Ihis, we nearly lost everything we owned. We had to borrow money from the F.H.A. to save our property.
In 1930, my sister Rose’s husband, Andy, died. They operated a tavern on 67th and National Streets, and she asked me to help her take care of the business until she was in better health.
From 1933 to 1950, we were in and out of business establishments. We started our own business in 1933, and stayed for two years at 89th and National Streets. After this, we moved to 60th and National.
Then my sister, Rose, decided to go out of business and asked me to take over her lavern on 67th and National. Six months later, on December 19, 1942, we had a fire. It occurred on a Friday night after closing. After I smelled the smoke, my son, Ralph, heard me on the phone trying to get the fire department. He grabbed his jacket and ran a half block with bare feet to the fire department box in 3° weather. After he reached them, he waited to direct them to the fire. However, they did not arrive in lime to save the building and the whole place was gutted. We lost everything.
Mr. & Mrs. Paucek celebrating an anniversary.
In 1943, I bought the building on 1753 South 68th, which is my present home. At the time we bought the building we didn’t have sufficient funds and borrowed from Mr. and Mrs. Terskan, who now have a butcher shop on 63rd Street in West Allis. They were good people and always helped me in any way possible. We operated the tavern until 1950.
On July 15, 1964, my husband passed away from cerosis of the liver. On different occasions, I leased the tavern to my sons.
My first trip back to my home land was on July of 1970. My sister, Agnes, was still living in Slovenia, but my sister, Jennie, had been killed by the Nazis during World War II. It had been 58 year since I had seen my relatives.
The farm on which I was born is still in the family and operated by my nephew, but the farm house now has electricity and water;, whereas, when I lived at home in •he late 1800s and early 1900s,, we used candles and kerosene lamps for illumination and had to carry buckets of water from the well three blocks away.
In July of 1973, 1 returned to Slovenia, this time with my daughter, .Jennie, her husband John, my daughter Lillian, my granddaughter Joan, and her husband Dave Komar. I am now looking forward to another trip in the near future.
My family has grown, and I now have 14 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Now I like to travel all over with my daughter Jennie and her husband John Ward.
This is my life.

3 MMM’s Campaign Report as of February 1, 1980
The 3M Campaign which began April of last year resulted in a total of 155 for the nine months ending December 31, 1979. There were 121 new members in both adult and junior classes plus 34 juniors who transferred to the adult department.
The top branches are as follows:
No. 20 — Joliet, IL...............................................................29
No. 16 — South Chicago, IL........................................................12
No. 50 — Cleveland, O.............................................................12
No. 2 — Chicago, IL...............................................................10

Of the 155 enrollees, 15 were entitled to one year free dues, since their first names were one of the three Ms — Marie, Mary or Mayme. During this last month, perhaps each one of us could enroll a Marie, Mary or Mayme and thus bring the 3M campaign to a successful conclusion.

WE NEED A PLAN!
With spring just around the corner, it gives us enough time to make plans for our summer activities with all our members, young and old. Weatherwise, in some parts of the country, it finally means you can get out and about without snow and cold. This is a good time to help our senior members by planning something with them according to their capabilities of getting around. It could be taking them to church, shopping, to the doctor or on a picnic. This can be done on a regular i basis so they have something to look forward to. Let us give them the feeling of not being forgotten.
With the branches that have juniors, many activities can be planned with the children, whether there are five or fifty youngsters. The interested women can chaperone these young people to museums, government buildings, parks, or even hiking. Swim teams, tennis teams, and bowling leagues are popular with the young too, because they are fun to do and they become involved, which is important, This involvement will in turn make them active members and also get new members to join. So let’s all plan something new with our members now, the sooner the better, and see the result. We must try new things and look ahead, if we want a successful SWU.

How is Easter Sunday determined? Wit various churches celebrating Easter on different dates, a Council of Churches was summoned by the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine, in 325 A.D. At this first ecumenical Council of Nicaea, as it was called, the confusion was solved by establishing a system for setting the date of Easter. It was decided that the date be fixed (o the first Sunday after the first full moon that falls on or after the vernal equinox (the day when the sun crosses the equator and the day and mght are everywhere equal in lenght). If the first full moon falls on a Sunday, then Easter is celebrated one week later. Eventually the date of vernal equinox was set at Mar. 21 according to the Gregorian calendar. Easter Sunday, therefore, cannost be earlier than Mar. 22nd or later than April 25.
40 days before Easter (not including Sundays) is the Lenten season observed for prayer and fasting. Fish dishes are frequently served. Frances Seitz of Br. 50, Cleveland, Ohio, suggests an excellent recipe: TUNA LOAF WITH CREAM EGG SAUCE. An accompanying salad might be the
ambassador room spinach

RECOMMENDS DONA TIONS
Dear Editor:
Enclosed is a check for $10 for the ZARJA publishing Fund from me. You know I was going to start or suggest this some time ago, but then came the dues increase, so I was hesitating, expecting a few complaints. But now, 1 hope the members and branches will follow thru and send donations because other organizations do this, such as SNPJ, KSKJ and the American Home...so why not us?
We love our ZARJA and don’t want any fewer issues so this is a way we can all help.
1 am hoping our branch and others will follow suit in the near future.
Our branch is doing just great and we get a new member every month or more and no one has cancelled yet because of the new dues rates, tho a couple of grandmas cancelled their grandchildren.
Hope all will go well for you in 1980!
Pa zdrava bodilAnn Tercek President, Hr. 50, Cleveland, Ohio
Her ROOTS! are not forgotten!
Dear Mrs. Leskovar,
MY NAME IS Nancy Suligoy and I have been a member of the Slovenian Women’s Union in Joliet for only one year. I am 24 years old, married, and as an infant came to the United States with my parents from Yugoslavia. I have been raised in a very Slovenian ethnic-oriented family where the Slovenian language was daily spoken and is still to this day. What I am sure is typical among Slovenian-American speaking families is that my parents speak in Slovenian and I respond in English thus losing the fluency of the language on my part. 1 may lose fluency of this language (I know I’ll never misunderstand it, though) but I will never lose the spirit of the Slovenian people or the love that I knew at home.
At present I have not been as active a member as I would like, i.e. I don’t attend the monthly meetings because of my work schedule. What would be preferable for me would be a night meeting but I am not the one to decide this. 1 work full-time for
the Medical Director of Saint Joseph Hospital in Joliet. This involves a lot of diversified and interesting work. I hope my participation in this organization will somewhat change in the future because I do believe our organization needs more “young blood” in it to continue on in the future or everything that everyone is worked for over the many, long years will be lost and forgotten.
I do not know if the following suggestions 1 have are possible bul I will list them anyway. These suggestions I have made for more participation in the community as an organization as well as possible participation on behalf of the youth in activities:
1. The Slovenian Women’s Union should establish a “Sunshine Club” of some kind within its organization, i.e. visit the elderly and sick in the hospitals, nursing homes, etc. (1 would be happy to participate in this during evening hours.)
2. Publication of a separate Slovenian youth newsletter with interesting stories and events with a student editor and staff.
3. More sponsorship of dances, pot luck dinners, etc. in benefit of the poor or for donation to the scholarship fund. I would be willing to help in anyway I would be able to. (Also, dances for the young would be beneficial)
4. 1 do read the Zarja with interest and in this newspaper takes place the interchange between the various different Slovenian locals. I would suggest more invitations back and forth (from like Chicago and Joliet) and so forth for participation in Slovenian masses, etc.
One thing that 1 would like to see is “Translators” listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book for Slovenian immigrants to this country. Sometimes these people need someone to go with them to the stores, social security office, etc.
I would like to close by saying that I enjoy reading the Zarja and am proud to be part of this organization.
Sincerely yours, Nancy Suligoy
Editor’s Note: Thank you, Ann, and hope that your ideas will catch on with other members and branches. I’m sure many feel the same way about our ZARJA.
And, Nancy, you can be sure that there is a spirit and confidence in our membership that will please you. Many branches do the things you are suggesting for many years, but I look forward to even more follow-thru!

Our Young Members Should BELONG!
We are well into the New Year 1980 and 1 hope that it started out well for all of you but especially for our young people. The world news scene doesn’t look very bright at this time but if all of us pull together in common prayer for peace and restoration of morality, honesty and patriotism, I’m sure God will answer our prayers.
The year 1980 has been designated the International Year of the Family. If everyone of us would really give this some serious thought and make a sincere effort to work for better relationships between family members, to care and share with our time for one another, we would really notice a big change in our sociaty. In this same regard, I feel that the Slovenian Women’s Union is a family. If we look upon it as such, we will make every effort to make our young members feel thay belong to our organization not only for membership and dues but really be a part of our meetings and celebrations.
I received a very nice letter telling about how the daughter of our Br. 2 president, Maggie Hujbar, brings her two daughters to all meetings if possible and once even brought her 12 year old son who didn’t seem to mind being the only boy there. They help serve coffee and make themselves helpful selling tickets, etc. If you start young enough, before they become self conscious or inhibited, you will give them a feeling of belonging and they really like being a part of grown up activities. Don’t you remember how much our immigrant parents included us in all celebrations and family visits? They didn’t rely on baby sitters and there never seemed to be problems of unruly behavior. As I stated before, we have to change out attitudes before we try to change theirs.
Thanks for listening and May God Bless All Of You.

“THANK YOU, BRANCH NO. 50!
Madam Pres., Officers and Members:
I would like lo take this opportunity to sincerely “thank” each and everyone of you who so generously contributed to the Slovenian Women's Union Scholarship Fund program during the year 1979. Words cannot express how grateful we are for your sincere generosity.
I would also like to thank the membership for re-electing me Vice-President. I take special pride in upholding my Slovenian heritage and being able to contribute to a fine organization. I would also like to encourage more young people to join and get involved. Meeting new people, renewing old friendship and visiting many interesting places benefits both young and old.
“Thank You” again from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless and Keep you in good health. Sincerely yours,
DOROTHYANN WINTFR

Dear Sisters: Before commencing to the business of the month, I must go on to the saddest part of my life. Feb. 1st, I lost my dearly beloved mother, Mary Oswald Rotar. We all know that it was a blessing that the Good Lord put her to rest. She had suffered a great deal in the past months. Although we know that there is an empty place in our hearts, we also know that life goes on and we all must continue living.
So, I have to thank all the ladies of the Slovenian Women’s Union Branch 52 for saying the Rosary and to Ann Mansfield who led us in prayer and did a wonderful job. Mary Rotar was a charter member and loyal but after moving away, left the branch. But, all her friends still remembered her. For the food and gifts of masses, cards and donations, memorials and flowers, we, the family of Mary Rotar would like to thank you one and all. If it weren’t for you standing beside us, we could not bare up under the strain. God bless you all and our thoughts are with you always.
We have loved her dearly during her life, let us not abandon her until we have conducted her by our prayers into the house of the Lord.
We again held our meeting at the
Rac. It was a great turn-out. We had a new member, Lucille Strom. We hope and pray she will enjoy the ladies very much and will be with us for a long time. Welcome to the Slovenian Women’s Union, Lucille; and if there is any more who would like to join us, you are more than welcome.
There was not much to discuss so the prayer was led by president, Rose Trombly and she brought our meeting to a close. We all continued to enjoy the social portion of the evening. Cards were played and honors went to the following sisters:
Bridge, Hi: Celia Palitano, Lo: Julia Mancuso; Smear, Hi: Rose Trombly, Margaret Kochevar, Lo: Alice Baratto, Frances Shega; “B”, Hi:	Grace Carozza, Lo:	Ann
Mansfield. Door prize went to Dorothy Pavetich.
Our hostesses were sisters Angeline Hrovat, Jenny Crea, Mary Lucenti, Angeline Russ, thus, bringing a delightful evening to a close. Our next meeting will be the first Wednesday of the month at the RAC. So, please try to attend - the more the merrier.
God bless you all and keep you in the best of health until we meet again. And, if we have any sick members, we wish them Godspeed to a rapid recovery.

LUCILLE SMITH NO. 71.STRABANE, PA.
We had our first meeting on Jan. 10th and it was an interesting meeting. After long terms of office, two of us relinquished our positions to new and younger members. My 40 year presidency was put into the history books with the selection of new president, Alice Staniszewski. And, our 35 year recording secretary, Mary Kocian retired in favor of Margie Strajnar. We hope with new and younger officers, our branch will have a lot of new activities.
Our branch was organized March 8th, 1936 by Anna Petrich, of Warren, Ohio, who later moved to California and passed away some years ago. Mary Kocian and I wish to thank our Secretary, Lucy, Treasurer, Agnes and all the members for the lovely gifts we received on this occasion, leather wallets with a monetary gift. After the meeting we enjoyed a lunch with all kinds of delicious pastries.
It is some time now since our former national president, Mary Bostian, fell and broke her shoulder. Mary, we wish you complete recovery.
Best wishes to all the members and officers. To all the sick, our best wishes and to our editor; compliments on ZARJA. (Thank you C.)

Our new officers have been installed and we’re all primed for an active and profitable year, so Sisters, roll up your sleeves and pitch in. Let’s enhance our bank balance and in turn benefit our Union.
Father Strancar attended our meeting and as usual was his own charming self. Father certainly is one heck of a nice guy. It’s too bad that he’s a priest and I’m an old woman, otherwise, I’d be making eyes at him. (Just kidding, Father.)
We have a new member by the name of Pauline Bade. Welcome, sister, to our midst. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the ladies of our Branch as they are no strangers to you. They in turn are pleased to know that you are now officially a member of a truly fine and worthy organization.
Let me tell you of another new member, one that won’t be able to make or second any motion that comes up on the floor, or participate in any manner in our functions, at least not for a while. Have you guessed the reason of her curtailment? She’s our youngest member, just three months old, name of Tammy and her proud grandma is Mildred Zajc.
Rose Novak and Mary Ercek are on the sick list. Ladies, we wish you both a hasty recovery.
Our Jan. birthday celebrants were Cynthia Conley, Sheila Panattoni, Mary Ercek, Mary Reich, Antonia Perez and a special birthday wish is extended to my dear friend, Julia Vlasic. Many joyful returns to all.
Rosemary Mlakar has been chosen as our Mother of the Year. More about this in future submissions.
Truly, it was a real pleassure to see so many members attending our Feb. meeting. Sisters, we should bear in mind that well-attended meetings will promote progress in our beloved organization. We have really nice ladies in our Branch and you members who do not make an effort to attend our sessions really are missing out on a lot of friendship, unity and cameraderie.
Plans have been made for a Corporate Communion on April 13th at 9:00 a.m. Mass at the Church of St. John Bosco in East Highland where our Spiritual Advisor, Father Strancar is the pastor. Members will meet at the KSKJ hall and transportation will be provided for all who wish to participate in the Mass.
May 3rd has been set aside as the day for our Rummage Sale which will be held at 8562 Mango Ave., Fontana. Please help to make this event a success. It’s only with everyone’s cooperation that we can continue to function properly.
May 1st at 5:30 p.m. has been scheduled for a Pot Luck Dinner to honor our Mother of the Year, Rosemary Mlakar. Come out and give due honor to a lovely person and have a good time besides. The feast will take place at the KSKJ hall.
Jennie Zornada is on the sick list and prayers are offered for the betterment of her health; prayers include all other members who are sick unknown to me.
Birthday celebrants this month were Mary Glad, Dorothy Petrich, Teresa Paro, Frances Videgar and Yours Truly. Happy Birthday to us and many more!
Mary Jasina, the president of the west coast branches, has outlined some of her desires trusting they be fulfilled in the near future. Mary is a determined person and if past performances are indicative, then be rest assured that benefits to the western branches and our Union will be forthcoming.
Happy anniversary to John and Christine Pierman, may they enjoy many more happy and healthy years together. That’s a wish that comes from my heart.
Julia Vlasic has moved away from Fontana but still maintains her membership with us and attends our meetings. Atta girl, Julie, keep on coming.
God grant those whose eyes fall upon this column a very happy Easter. As you walk thru the pathway of life, pick a weed, plant a flower.	EDITH	DRAWENEK

now available through most book stores. The name of the book is “The Other Side of Silence”.
After the meeting, games were played followed by a delicious pot luck lunch.

Our December meeting consisted of a short business session and then, we adjourned so that the members could participate in the project of making mobiles using old Christmas Cards. The afternoon passed all too quickly as members completed their mobiles under the able direction of Nika Kovacic.
Nika was the hostess for this meeting and pleasantly surprised us with Napoleons (Kremšnite) and cake. She served the delicious desserts on an attractive Christmas table cloth she made by hand. The cloth was red nylon net with red satin ribbon edging and decorated with sequins and Christmas felt appliques.
We were sorry that more members could not attend to enjoy the delicious desserts and the beautiful setting. We express our thanks to Nika for making this meeting an exciting one even though the group was small.
Sincere thanks to Molly Thomas for recording the minutes since Tillie Ausich was not able to be present.
January Meeting
The attendance at the January meeting was superb. We hope that this will continue for the remainder of the year.
Installation of officers was duly performed by Betty Cesnik. Once again, she capably performed the ritual and added a couple of beautiful prayers that she had written for the occasion.
Tončka Cigale served as hostess wishing to do so in order that we might celebrate her birthday and namesday.
Following some singing and socializing, we were served a delicious fresh apple cake along with plain yellow loafone and coffee. Our thanks to Tončka for her efforts and generosity. We will delight in celebrating many more birthdays with you.
May the new year be a good one for all.

Dear members: Our Feb. meeting held at the home of Catherine Musick and daughter, Pat Emerson was as usual a great delight. There were 15 ladies present. Agnes Putz, as you noticed I’m sure, was most pleased to be with us as we were to see her once again. We held our elections and paid dues. Our thanks and blessings once more to Pauline Adamic, President; Patricia Emerson, Secretary & Trasurer and new Reporter, Kathleen Emerson, daughter of Pat. Our very best wishes to each of you for doing such time consuming and splendid work.
In December I received a letter from Corinne, our Editor of ZARJA to shorten articles due to the high cost of printing, paper and postage. It will be hard to do, but as she stated, we may have much to report such as lunches, prizes, that do not need repeating. We will try to do our best to oblige in the future.
Kathleen Emerson has a great idea, to raise our funds by holding a dinner-dance. We also selected our Mothers of the Year, two very deserving ladies, Alice Sheets and her granddaughter, Donna Medina. Donna became the mother of “A New Kid in Town” and our love and God’s blessings to her and her lovely grandmother, two sweet ladies, and of course, as much love, good health and happiness to Ernie and baby Son who made it all possible. We will discuss the time and place for our dinner at the next meeting, March 2nd. So, please, let’s have more of you attending.
Our meeting adjourned and two door prizes were given to fatten our kitty and a delicious lunch and dessert served by our very gracious hostesses.
1 will try to make my parting as
your past Reporter as brief as possible. May I state as I have many times before, that it was not my articles in ZARJA but you ladies that made it all possible. 1 really didn’t want to become emotional, but through your goodness, kindness and thoughtfulness, to Joe and my family, by offering novenas, masses, prayers, calls and visits, we will be forever grateful to you as our wonderlul friends. This love and compassion when we so sorely needed it, will remain a wondeful memory. You are with us. Now if I may, just one more prayer. That God grant a cure for the dread disease of cancer in the very immediate future. There are so many in pain and suffereing at the hospitals and clinics. Especially pray for the children, so that they may live to adulthood in good health. None of us can say, can we, who will be next? “Until we walk >n his shoes,” as the saying goes. God forbid. So, please, just one more prayer for all of us.
Father Thad, you will be notified of the time and place of our Mother’s Day dinner. What a treat it would be to have your company. Wish it could be more frequent. Feel welcome to visit us anytime. Your former parishioners miss you still.
Now is the time for me to send Happy Birthday wishes to our beautiful people in March: Jeanne Crossman, Catherine Musick, Sophie Sunich; April, Alice Sheets (1980 Mother of the Year), Fulvia Rosa (we miss your smile here) an our new Reporter with a lot of new, great ideas, Kathleen Emerson. Happy, happy days to all of you.
It has been my pleasure these past years to be with you in ZARJA. Stay well, stay happy and all my love.
Please smile - it’s the greatest medicine. KATHERINE MIHELIČ

SLOVENCI! Na preteklost gradimo sedajnost!
Potrebno je, da si v spomin prikličemo, kako so stari slovenski naseljenici v Ameriki ohranili vernost in pripadnost h katoliški cerkvi skozi desetletja do danes. Prav gotove ne do tuje jim okolice z nerazumljivim jezikom. V velikem številu so se priseljavali sem-pred in še več po letu 1900. Vero, navade in običaje so prinesli iz starega kraja in se teh držali ter jih v družinah prenesli na svoje Potomce — otroke in vnuke. Slovenska govornica ie počasi prešla v angleščino. Na Slovenskem je bilo dolga stoletja prav do zadnjega časa vse življenje trdno povezano s Cerkvijo. In to ne samo ob praznovanjih Božiča, Velike noči, cerkvenih Proščenjih ampak prav na vsak navaden dan. Letna Potika jim je kazala god tega in onega svetnika tekom leta, po katerem so usmerjali vse delo na Polju. Obisk nedeljske maše je bil v slovenskem Hudstvu tako ukoreninjen, da se v nobenem letnom času niso ustrašili dolgih poti v župne cerkve. Brez niaše ni bilo nedelje, ni bilo oddiha, ni bilo veselja.
V	cerkvah je našlo ljudstvo moč za telesne napore 'n delo preko tedna, našlo je tolažbo in pogum za Premnoge težave; samo dom in cerkev — cerkev in dom! Iz trdega dela, iz osebnega žrtvovanja po družinah so se rodili krepki in samostojni značaji, ki se potem v novi domovini niso ustrašili ustanavljati Svoje narodne cerkve, šole in slovenska verska in katoliška društva.
Ti verni Slovenci so naleteli na močno nasprotovanje po naselbinah. Močna protiverska 9onja od strani svobodomislecev je dosegla, da je niarsikak Slovenec odpadel od verske skupnosti. Nabavljali so zoper vero, Boga in duhovnike. Nad duhovnikom na cesti so kričali in ga obmetavali z nesramnimi opazkami. Zavesti katoličani so tiho trpeli in se počutili poražene. Misel na premoč sovražnika jim je jemala javni pogum. Pa vendar so v tem nasprotovanju ustanovili slovensko župnijo Sv- Stefana.
Kdor je izmed nas Slovencev še danes 2asidren v nekdanjo versko preteklost (čeprav
govori angleško), je ohranil vero. Sedanji čudni in zmaličeni protiverski tokovi ga ne morejo potegniti v to prazno in versko zbegano družbo. Papež Janez Pavel II. je jasno povedal v nekem svojem govoru, da so ateisti — brezverci — v komunističnih državah izkoreninjenci, ker so se odtrgali iz narodnih verskih korenin, ki so stara že tisoč let.
Poljski narod se mora za svojo vernost in z njo v zvezi tudi za sedanjega njihovega papeža zahvaliti prav dejstvu, da so množično ostali zvesti katoliški cerkvi. Isto velja za nas Slovence, pa naj bomo v Ameriki ali pa v starem kraju.
Zadnje poletje smo imeli v Lemontu spominsko svečanost 50-letnice vseslovenskega katoliškega shoda, ki je zbral takrat skupaj toliko množico Slovencev kakor ne prej in ne poznej. Ta shod v letu 1929 je pokazal vso velečino dela takratnih Slovencev, obenem tudi njih zasidrenost v dediščino vere, ki so jo prinesli iz domovine. Na tem shodu so postavili temelj za Baragovo zvezo, za začetek dela za njegovo beatifikacijo. Baragova zveza je začela duhovno povezovati vse Slovence po Ameriki in lahko rečemo, da jih povezuje čedalje bolj. To dokazujejo zelo lepi Baragovi dnevi zadnjih let. V Chicagu imamo vsako leto meseca januarja uspešna Baragova kosila. Raziskovanje Baragovega življenja nam čedalje bolj odkriva, kako je kot duhovnik in misijonar in škof uporabljal med Indijanci vse, kar mu je dala domača vzgoja pri /ernih starših in dalje je naučil v bogoslovnih šolah. Indijance je učil iz slovenskih korenin in ni uničeval, kar je našel dobrega v njih vrednosti. Duhovna slovensko-ameriška dediščina v Ameriki sega delač nazaj v zgodovino. Pred Baragom je bil v Ameriki že I. 1687 slov. misijonar Anton Kapus, za Baragom pa škofje: Mrak, Vrtin, Trobec in Stariha. Mnoge druge najdemo v koledarju Ave Marie za I. 1980 (str. 22). Slovenski misijonarji in tudi lajiki so v veliki meri gradili ameriško katoliško vero, nakar smo lahko kot majhen narod zelo ponosni.

SPOMIN NA CLEVELANDSKE BARAGOVE DNEVE JE ŠE VEDNO ŽIV
Dvodnevno slavje in prošnje molitve za našega svetniškega škofa Friderika Barage ob delavskem prazniku lansko jesen, je zbralo tisoče Slovencev iz vseh delov Amerike v Clevelandu.
Gornje slike je posnel g. Tone Gaber in predstavlja trajni spomin na nepozabne dneve.
Velikanska množica se je uvrstila v procesijo s svečkami v molitvi in nabožnem petju pri romarski božji pot Lurške Marije na Chardon Rd. Procesija s svečkami je postala tradicija na Baragovih dnevih vse od Lemonta.
Druga slika je posneta med sv. mašo našega rojaka torontskega pomožnega škofa dr. Alojzija Ambrožiča pri Lurški votlini, kjer je imel globoko zamišljen govor o škofu Baragi v angleškom in slovenskem jeziku.
Med številno slovensko duhovščino, so se Baragovih dnevov udeležili tudi g. Franc Pohajač, Salezijanec iz Občin pri Trstu in g. Ignac Potočnik iz Slovenije, ki sta se takrat mudila v Ameriki ter g. George Kuzma, iz Wilmingtona, III. in g. Daniel Ruppe vice-postulator Baragove zadeve iz marketske škofije.
Na naslovni strani te ZARJE boste videle še druge prizore iz res izredno lepo uspelih Baragovih dnevov v ameriško-slovenski metropoli.
ŠE TA MESEC . . .
pred zaključkom sedanje članske kampanje treh Maričk: “3 MMM’s”: Marie Prisland, Mary Bostian in Mayme Muller, pozivamo — vse — da se potrudite zadnji mesec in pridobite nove članice, ker vas čakajo lepe nagrade. Posebno če pridobite novo članico z imenom MARIE, MARY ali MAYME bo imela celo prvo leto članarino prosto. Vsi na delo!

Naša prva seja v tem letu je bila 20. jan. v navadnih prostorih Slovenskega doma na Holmes Ave. Pred sejo je tajnica pobirala članarino za to leto 1980. Ne pozabite, da je članarina zvišena za 3 dolarje za celo leto.
Sejo je odprla naša preds. ga. Ani Markovič ob 2:30 uri popoldne. Zapisnik je bil prečitan in odobren. Tajnica ga. Zofi Magajna nam je prečitala račune zadnjih treh mesecev in podala obračun za celo leto.
V	preteklem letu smo izgubile
9	članic in te so: Frances Marolt, Rose Suša, Julia Palivoda, Frances Zulich, Ženi Koren, ki je umrla v Starostnem domu na Neff Road in 185 cesti v Clev., dalje Antonija Štokelj, Mary Pajnič, Mary Mavrič in Ann Jakuš.
Od zadnje seje nismo izgubile nobene članice. Hvala Bogu! Pač pa smo dobile 3 nove članice: ge. Mary Milnar, Mary Kokalj in njena hčerka.
Volile smo tudi mater leta. Izvoljene sta bile dvojčke ga. Joyce Lenasi in njena sestra Faye Moro. Čestitamo!
Članice so se izrazile glede ZARJE, da je malo pisano v slovenščini in večinoma v angleščini. Rade bi čitale kak roman, ker povečini ne znajo dobro angleško čitati, vsaj ne razumijo vsega, zato bi bilo
Vedno iščem sreče, vedno brez oddiha;
pa mi kar uide — jo drugam popiha.
Jaz pa premišljujem in za njo žalujem,
vsaj malo bi ostala, vzdihujem.
Oh, saj jaz razumem; ne morem jo kupiti;
pa vendar jaz ne vem kaj mi je storiti,
da bi jo zadržala tu pod našo streho,
bi nas razveselila, dala nam uteho.
Daj prosim izpolni želje svoji hčeri,
ter vsaj z malo mero srečo mi odmeri.
Ona se ne briga — jo naprej popiha,
zame se ne zmeni, beži kar brez oddiha.
Jaz pa premišljujem, kje se nek' ustavi
tukaj blizu kje? Ali kje v daljavi; Komu se bo prisrčno nasmejala, a jaz bom sama tukaj — zanjo spet žalovala.
MARY MURN
dobro, da bi se roman tiskai v slovenskem jeziku. Nekatere bi se malo potrudile in kaj napisale za slovenski del Zarje. V tej domovini imamo srečo, da je naša govornica prosta in mnogim še zelo priljubljena, zato pokažimo, da smo prave Slovenke.
Jaz sem bila 12 let v južni Ameriki, pa mojega jezika nisem pozabila. Sedaj sem že 6 let tukaj in sem takoj pristopila v naše slovensko društvo. Tukaj v Clevelandu poslušam mladino, kako lepo govorijo in so tukaj rojeni. Enako naša pevska društva se trudijo, da ohranijo slovensko kulturo.
Po seji nam je lepo zaigrala na harmoniko hčerka ge. Čebular.
Naše dvojčke so prinesle dobrega peciva in malo za žejna grla. To se je nam kar lepo prileglo.
Na dan naše seje smo imele lepo vreme. To zimo smo še kar
Upokojeni župnik fare sv. Roka v LaSalle, Illinois, Rev. Michael Železnikar, je pred leti pridno skrbel za Slovencem tako preljubljeno cerkev. Podoba brezjanske Marije Pomagaj je zapuščena v teh dneh, ker je naša cerkev zaprta in fara združena z drugo. Žalosno je videti nezaželjene spremembe kijih zahtevajo moderni časi.
Fr. Železnikar je nad pol stoletja zvesto deloval med Lasalskimi Slovenci.
brez snega v našem Clevelandu, zato se nas je na seji nabralo kar 24. Sejo smo zaključile okoli štirih popoldne.
Članice, ne pozabite, prihodnja seja se bo vršila 3 nedeljo v marcu, to je 16. marca. Tega dneva bomo slavile rojstne dneve naslednjih članic:	ge. Mary
Komidar (92), Angela Strmole (82 let) in sestri ge. Joyce Lenasi in Faye Moro ter podpredsednice ga. Fani Žagar. Če sem katero izpustila, naj mi oprosti, ker vseh tudi dobro ne poznam.
Moja teta Angela Strmole praznuje v mesecu februarju tudi 50 let odkar je članica naše podružnice.
Čestitamo vsem skupaj in želimo še mnogo zdravih in veselih let med nami. Vaša zapisnikarica,

Upam, da ste prestale zimo brez bolezni in težav, ki jih nam zima prinese. No pa letos res ni bila huda. Kar pogrešale smo lepo belo odejo za par mesecov. Sedaj pa ga imamo malo, da lepše izgleda — belo kot se spodobi, pri nas, ki 'smo tega navajeni. Čudno, kaj ne? Je slišati, da pogrešamo kaj takega. Oh pa to ni pravi Božič, ko ni snega na sveti večer.
Kako sem že poročila, je pri naši podr. vse ostalo po starem za leto 1980. Sklenile smo, da letos ne bomo imele card party. Da pomagamo blagajni, bomo imele 16. septembra žrebanje. Kupile boste lahko 10 tiketsov za $2 dolarja. Za dobitke imamo 2 afgana in mnogo drugih reči. Torej prosimo vse članice, da žrtvujete dva dol. ter s tem pomagate nam in mogoče vas sreča doleti in dobite lep dobitek.
Ne pozabite se udeležiti sej tretjo nedeljo v mesecu. Pokažite, da vam je SŽZ pri srcu in ste ponosne na njo. Molimo za umrle članice. Bolnim pa lajšamo težave s karticami in obiski.
Pozdrav,

Prvi mesec v letu je hitro potekel. Vendar smo imeli več bolnih članic v bolnišnici sv. Jožefa in sicer: Mary Spelich iz
Danes Ave., Johanna Rogel iz Broadway, Mayme Fedo iz Raynor Ave., Mary Rozman, Catherine Putrich, Lil Berg in Marge Staltzer. Ko to pišem so se nekatere že vrnile iz bolnišnice in ko boste brale te vrstice, upam, da bodo že vse ozdravile.
Tajnica Lovati opozarja članice na naš Heritage dan, ki se naglo približuje. Lepo prosi članice za sodelovanje. Povdari, da imamo 636 članic pri podružnici in že sedaj prosi za domače pecivo, potice in druge dobrote.
Čestitke Joan Stukel, ki ima prirastek v družini. Dobili so sinčka, ostale hčerke so že tudi naše članice.
Iskrene čestitke Dorothy Končar, ki je bila soglasno imenovana za letošnjo častno Mater podružnice. Dorothy je dobro poznana in vedno rada pomaga pri vseh prireditvah podružnice, zato smo vesele, da je njo zadela ta čast. Dorothy je hčerka Mayme Fedo in nečakinja
čla. Therese Sepich in Joseph Erjavec.
Zastopnica naše kegljaške skupine je prinesla vstopnice na sejo, da se pomaga naši kegljašk. skupini, ki bo imela tekme 1. in 2. marca v Rivals parku. Članice ste naprošene, da se udeležite in jim daste korajžo pri tekmi. Judy Derlinga bo vesela vsake pomoči, katero nudite naši kegljaški skupini.
Zapisnikarica Josephine Erjavec poroča, da ima pripravljene filme posnete ob priliki slovensne blagoslovitve naše prenovljene cerkve in krasne oltarje, katere je blagoslovil naš škof Imesh. Dalje tudi filme naše organizatorke Mrs. Marie Prisland, ko se je mudila v Jolietu. Vse to vas bo zelo zanimalo, zato gotovo pridite na sejo tretjo nedeljo v marcu.
Naše čestitke tudi Mr. in Mrs. John Jevitz iz Oaklanda Ave., ki sta slavila častivredno 55 letnico poroke. Bog jim daj še mnogo let
zdravja. Pri sv. maši se je zbralo mnogo sorodnikov in prijateljev, ki so čestitali poročnima slavljencema.
Naši dobri pevki izrekamo sožalje ob izgubi nečaka 19 letnega Joe Trubich, ki je bil tretje letni študent v Trinity school. Antonia Hartney je njegova stara mama. Pokopan je bil iz cerkve sv. Dennis, Lockport na hrvaško pokopališče Matere .Božje, Zapušča 4 brate in eno Pestro. Naj v miru počiva. Sorodnikom naše sožalje!
Mladinska članica Bonnie Haller je odpotovala s starši in bratom na počitnice v Colorado.
Donnie Hubert, sin naše Prejšnje odbornice Frances Stonich, se je poročil v cerkvi v Plainfield, III. Novoporočencema želimo mnogo sreče in blagoslova.
Na seji v marcu bomo imele St. Joseph mizo in vse Josephine bodo počaščene. Happy birthday — “Josephines”!
Na veselo svidenje na marčevi seji!
JOSEPHINE ERJAVEC ŠT. 68, FAIRPORT HBR., OHIO
Urednici naše Zarje in tudi vsem uradnicam, kakor tudi vsem članicam po širni Ameriki želim srečno in zdravo Novo leto 1980, da bi še dolgo tako lepo urejevale našo Zarjo kot do sedaj. Naša letna seja 19. decembra in Božičnica sta bili kar lepo obiskani. Miza je bila polna dourot in vse je bilo lepo Podomače okusno in dobro Pripravljeno.
Na seji smo sklenile in potrdile, da naj odbor ostane ves po starem. To smo vse enoglasno Potrdile. Članica gospa Jennie Mohorčič ni bila prisotna, pa smo
io	tudi njo še za naprej izvolile za častno podpredsednico. Ona je že novembra meseca odšla v Florido. Je bolj slabega zdravja, Pa upamo da se bo tam doli na soncu	kaj pozdravila.	Jo
Pogrešamo saj ona je zelo veliko naredila za našo podružnico. Le iaz sem sedaj prevzela ta posel, ki to pišem. Prevzela sem zato, ker rada prebirem našo Zarjo in Pogrešam dopise v našem slovenskem jeziku, ki jih je kar bolj malo v zadnjem času. Z ^ojim možem jo kar vso
pregledava in prečitava, saj so novice res iz vseh krajev Amerike. Posebno rada sem čitala — Oh ta Svet — od Mrs. Prisland, vse ki berem Zarjo jo bomo zelo pogrešale. Zelo rada prebirem tudi zdravstvene nasvete od gospe Nežke Gaber, so res zelo lepi in koristni, res vredni njenega truda in naj jih še vnaprej nadaljuje. Tudi nenadna smrt našega duhovnega vodje P. Klavdij Okorna, me je kar presenetila, pa bodo častiti gospodje iz Lemonta že koga našli, da bo kaj pobudnega nam napisal, saj tudi duša potrebuje hrane. Naša članica Mary Modic, ter sin Stanko z družino so sredi januarja odpotovali v Californijo na svadbo njenega vnuka. Želimo ji mnogo zabave in srečen povratak.
Tudi Pepca Drobnič, se nahaja še vedno v zdravstvenem domu, jo gremo večkrati obiskat. Njen mož John je tudi bolj bolehen, saj se je sedaj vrnil iz bolnice, se pa mora držati stroge dijete, res težko za možkega kuharja, ko si mora kuhati brez maščobe in soli in sladkorja.
Tudi dogoletna članica Jennie Lagina, se je pred kratkim vrnila iz bolnice in se sedaj zdravi doma. Je prestala operacijo na glavi, ji želimo hitrega okrevanja. Njen dobri mož Lojze jo je tudi zapustil po težki bolezni, umrl je sredi septembra, preteklega leta in ga zelo pogreša, in ji je zelo hudo po izgubi, dobrega soproga in življenskega tovariša, saj sta skupaj živela, kar lepo dobo 57 let.
V	bolnici se tudi nahaja Joe Pirman, mož naše članice Elizabet, ona je tudi tekom enega leta izgubila očeta in mater, Johna in Mary Zalar, sedaj je pa še za soproga v skrbeh. Še v februarju preteklega leta se je tudi za vedno poslovil od svoje drage ženke Jennie Mohorčič njen dobri mož John, ki ga tudi nepopisno pogreša. Od žalosti se je odločila in za pet tednov odpotovala v njen rojstni kraj Dolenje Jezero pri Cerknici. Istočasno je šel tudi njen sin Toni z družino tja, tako da je nekoga imela s seboj. Težka je
ločitev od koder ni povratka, če prav so misli vedno pri njem.
Vsem bolnim članicam in njenim dragim pa želim ljubega
zdravja, sreče in zadovoljstva v letu 1980. Vsem pokojnim, pa naj ljubi Bog da večni mir in pokoj, živim pa iskreno sožalje.
Zimska meseca januar in februar nimamo seje, bo pa seja v sredo 19. marca ob pol sedmih zvečer v Ameriško-Slovenskem Clubu 617 3th Street, Fairport Hrb. in vabim vse članice, da se seje za gotovo udeležite. Ker pa je seja na dan sv. Jožefa, želim vsem Pepcam in Jožicam vse dobro, pa seveda Jožetom tudi in naj jim bo godovni dan najlepši praznik.
Drage članice, naše seje so vsako tretje sredo v mesecu. Udeležite se jih, se kar dobro zabavamo, in kaj pametnega povemo, popijemo in tudi zapojimo. Za toraj na svidenje na naših sejah.

ŠT. 71, STRABANE, PA.
Dne 10. januarja smo imele prvo sejo v tem letu. Seja je bila prav zanimiva in udeležba lepa.
Po prečitanem zapisniku in poročilih odbornic, smo dve dolgoletne odbornice izročile najine urade. Po 40 letnem predsedovanju naši podr., je na moje mesto bila izvoljena kot preds. Alice Staniszewski. Mary Kocian je bila 35 let zapisnikarica in na njeno mesto je bila izvoljena Margie Strajnar.
Naša podr. št. 71 je bila ustanovljena dne 8. marca 1936 na seji društva KSKJ Kraljice Majnika. Ustanoviteljica je bila pokojna Anna Petrich iz Waren,
Ohio. Podpisana in Mary K. se lepo zahvaljujeva taj. Lucy, blagaj. Agnes in vsem članicam za lepo darilo — leather wallet z denarnim darilom. Še enkrat najlepša hvala za priznanje, našega fela.
Po seji smo imele okusni lunch z vsakovrstnim domačim pecivom.
Je že precej časa odkar je bivša gl. preds. nevarno padla in se hudo poškodovala na desni roki. Mary, želim da bi se dobro pozdravila.
Lepo pozdravljene vse članice SŽZ in gl. odbor. Bolnim želim ljubo zdravje. Corinne hvala za lepo urejeno Zarjo.

Dressmaking Tips
Checking your pattern for size
Whatever your reasons for sewing, you’ll enjoy it more and save more money if you learn to sew well. It’s practice and attention to details and techniques that make the expert seamstress. Most of all, “patience” is needed! If you must, rip out any seams with care, even experienced sewers rip new and then to improve their skill in sewing.
This month, check your pattern for Size. Before you cut out your dress, read the pattern instructions more than once. For example, watch those markings for the “straight of the cloth”, the width of the seams, et’c. Study the diagram for laying the pattern on the cloth, then write needed adjustments on the pattern. Draw a line with a ruler, marking the straight of the cloth, the full length of all the pattern pieces. This makes it so much easier to follow the grain of the material, an important step in making your dress.
Pin the major parts of the pattern together and try it on, do not try to pin in a set-in sleeve as it would tear. Be sure to pin the darts and pleats and to take up full seam width when you put in the pins. Pin front and back together at shoulder seam. Tie a tape over the pattern at your waistline, at your bustline and your hipline, while trying on the pinned pattern. Mark you pattern where the tapes were using a felt-tip pen; just a dot will do. Take off the tapes and pattern, check your measurements
with the pattern measurements. Does your pattern need to be adjusted for waist length? Follow Fig. 8 to check your personal measurements and then check your pattern measurements as shown. A good pattern will have directions for simple alterations. Check the amount of ease to see if the pattern fits you. The bustline needs an ease of 4 inches, the waistline 2 inches, the hip line 3 inches.
Or,
measure a dress that fits well, then measure the pattern and compare the dress measurements. Be sure to measure from seam line to seam line on your pattern, not from the cut edges.
Since inflation is a big part of our life, being and learning how to become a seamstress will enable you to say with pride,“I made it myself!”
Since our officers are trying to have interesting meetings, why not have a member who is an expert in dressmaking give a demonstration on
the subject of “how to make a dress” after the meeting? Each month, dressmakers could share ideas on easy ways to sew, on tricks they use to make sewing simple and then follow up with a style show!
Next month, “cutting the dress.”

WHAT’S DOING AMONG OUR JUNIOR CIRCLES
Corresponding with Sophie Stampfel, a delegate at the last Convention, I found out what her branch 12 in Milwaukee is doing for their juniors. The news was so great that it should be reported on our Junior Page.
A Junior PICNIC was held June 28th last summer, instead of a Christmas Party. Somehow, the holiday parties just did not get off the ground, maybe because it’s such a cold and busy time of the year. Their picnic was such a great success that they want to repeat it again this year!
The picnic was for Juniors, but members were all invited too, and the older members enjoyed it as much as the children. They had games for the Juniors and Seniors. They charged 50 cents for the lunch which consisted of potatoe chips, grilled hot dogs, pickles and relishes and all the drinks they wished - also all the hot dogs they could eat along with cakes and cookies.
The enthusiasm they displayed made the senior members’ hearts feel really warm. The kids were so great; there was not one cross world spoken between them. They enjoyed the picnic as much as the juniors; it made them feel young again!
To quote Sophie, I want lo tell you how great our little people arc, if we would just take the time to find out. I am proud to be a member of the S.W.U. and I will always try to instill the same pride in our members, especially the young ones. We must make our affairs so interesting and so much fun that they will want lo join us.
Hope all our branches will follow up and use Br. 12’s grand experience this coming summer, and report all their activities to the
S.W.U. Youth Director, Anne Hodnik, 706 Summit St., Aurora, MN 55700.

“FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART”
One Ringy-Dingy, Please!
1 remember a time when my girl friend and I were in charge of the sound effects for a play.
One of the sounds we needed was that of a telephone ringing. No sweat. All we had to do was tape the ring of a phone with a tape recorder. So, that’s what we set out to do.
We put a fresh cassette in my tape Reorder and set the recorder up in the kitchen near the phone. No one was home except for my girl friend, my mother and myself, so we didn’t have to worry about the tape Reorder picking up unwanted noise. (Mom had promised that while we were taping she would knit. How much noise can you make knitting?) So everything was perfect, except for °ne small detail. The phone wasn’t
ringing.
Well, after a while my girl friend 8ot an idea.
“1 know. I’ll call the operator and ask her to dial this number.”
“Will the operator do that?” 1
asked.
. “Sure, with a little white lie. I’ll JUst tell her 1 think something is wrong with the telephone. 1 saw this d°ne on an old Brady Bunch rerun, and it worked beautifully,” my ‘riend said.
“O.K., it sounds simple enough,” said. “What can go wrong?”
Well, boys and girls, it never fails. Whenever you’re looking for ef-•'ciency you always get the employee "'ho just turned in his two weeks resignation and really doesn’t care "'hat goes on because he’s leaving in a few weeks. And when you’d appreciate a little less efficiency, you always get the person who’s goal in 'te is to be employee of the year, hat was the case here.
“Operator. Can I help you?”
‘Yes, operator, would you please 'a* this number. We think

something is wrong with the phone.” “What seems to be the problem?” the operator asked?
“If you could just dial this number.”
“But what seems to be the problem?” the operator asked.
“Umh, I don’t think the phone is working right.”
“It seems to be working o.k. now, or are you calling from a different phone?”
“I’m calling from the phone in question,” my friend said looking to me for some help. “We can call out,
DAVY’S COLUMN
but I don’t think our incoming calls are coming in.”
“Why do you say that?” the operator asked.
“Because the phone hasn’t rung all afternoon.”
“Perhaps no one has called you.” “Maybe, but we’re expecting a phone call and I think they may have tried to call but couldn’t get through.”
“Oh, well if you give me your address I see if I can get someone out to your place to look at your phone,” the operator said.
Panic came in my friend’s voice.
LEARN SLOVENIAN!
Much is being said in the news today about the lack in our education system of requiring the learning of a second language. In European countries they are being taught the English language and many of them are also studying a third language. 1 have heard many young married people express the desire to know the Slovenian language. I thought it might be of interest to our young readers to learn a few basic words for a start. Since this is the Year of the Family I will bring with the following:
Mother — mati Father — oče Sister — sestra Brother — brat
“No! I don’t think that’s necessary. Please just dial* 123-4567,” my friend said. “No use sending out a repair man when you don’t have to.”
After a few more minutes of talkin with the operator, my friend finally persuaded her to dial our number. We let the phone ring about three or four times before picking up the receiver.
“Did you get it?” my friend asked.
“Got it,” I said.
“Thank you, operator. The phone seems to be working now,” my friend said. She hung up the receiver, “That’s the last time I tell a ‘little white’ lie.”
’til next month DAVY

YOUR LAND AND MY LAND,
BY A 10 YEAR OLD BOY
I think that in this world everybody should be welcome, no matter what color they are, because this land is my land and this is your land. I think everyone should be friends. It doesn’t matter whal they wear, how they look outside; it’s what they are inside. I think it is rude to call people bad names. To me it doesn’t matter what religion they have. There are still people in this world that are rude and bad, and it sure hurts a little, but I have love and love always wins.
Grandmother — stara mati Grandfather — stari oče Uncle — stric Aunt — teta

The letters c, s and z with the markings (v) on top have a ch, sh or zh sound. Try to use these now when you talk to your family so that you will remember them. If there are some special words you would like to know about, write me and 1 WILL TRY TO HELP YOU.
