AVSTRALSKA KRi-2ARKA SYDNEY POTOPLJENA
Prodiranje nemških čet proti Kavkazu ustavljeno •
USIV OFENZIVI NA VE C FRONTAH
London, 2. dec.—Avstralska ižarka Sydney je potopila nem-fto potepuško ladjo Steirmark joda v bitki je bila tako poškodovana, da se je tudi sama po-—ila. Bojazen je, da je 645 čla-¿v posadke, ki so se nahajali na ^iarki, izgubilo življenje.
Nemška potepuika ladja je po-ila devet britskih in zaveznikih parnikov, preden se je zapletla v smrtno bitko z avstral-¿o križarko. Kje in kdaj se je bitka vršila, poročil ne pove. Domneva je, da sta se ladji spo-pdli v bližini avstralskega ob-aftja.
Berlin, 2. dec. — Krdela ru-dtih vojakov so ustavila prodi-ranje nemških čet proti Kavka-u pri Rostovu, pristan iščnem mestu ob Črnem morju, iz katerega so se morali nemSke čete «nakniti, pravi uradni komunike. Rusi si hočejo utreti pot proti Taganrogu za vsako ceno a ne glede na žrtve. Sveže sovjetske čete so dospele na južno fronto iz Sibirije in Perzije in bili vržene v boj proti Nemcem.
Nacijski krogi so zanikali poročilo, da so bile nemške čete ^nane iz Taganroga» 4q_ /pili apadno od Rostova, ali da ao se Rusi približali temu mestu. Ti idaj molče o reprisalijah proti prebivalcem Rostova. Naciji so apretili, da bodo pobili vse civiliste, ker so iz ozadja napadli Nemce in jih prisilili v umik.
Poročila o operacijah Hitier-jeve vojne mašine na centralni m leningradski fronti so pičla. Iz tega se sklepa, da niso Nemci dosegli nobenega uspeha tam-kaj in da so Rusi obdržali svoje [ pozicije kljub srditim napadom . »ovražnika.
Helsinki. Finska, 2. dec. — frogle iz finskih obrežnih baterij so potopile dva ruska par-nilca v Finskem zalivu, pravi u-ndno poročilo.- To omenja velike aktivnosti v tem zalivu brez dodatnih detajlev.
Moskva, 2, dec. — Radijsko na-ttanilo pravi, da so bile Hitlerjeve kolone pognane nazaj 40 »>lj »d Rostova proti Taganro-W v teku velike sovjetske ofen-Te kolone še vedno beže P^i Kusi v smeri Hariupala, 60 dalj proti zapadu.

Ruske Čete so prešle v ofenzl-tudi na moskovski in lenin-P^dski fronti. Izvršile so več u-JNnih naskokov v nekaterih ■»jih in vrgle nacije nazaj.

Nekaj priporočil
Društvene volitve
Kakor je bilo članstvo opozorjeno že v zadnji sredini izdaji rrosvete, imajo naša društva U mesec «voje letne seje. Letne ali «lavne seje jih imenujemo zato, ker na teh sejah rešujemo vse bolj glavne stvari in zlasti take, ki so posebno važnega pomena za društveno poslovanje skozi celo leto. Zato pa je tudi važno, da se vsak član udeleži ter pri reševanju takih reči skrbno in vestno pomaga.
- ln kakor je bilo povedano nadalje, spadajo volitve društvenega odbora med eno najbolj važnih opravil vsakega krajevnega društva. ,y soglasju s tem pa je, da nam pravila predpisujejo, kake uradnike in odseke mora imeti vsako društvo in kake sposobnosti se zahtevajo od kandidatov. Z ozirom na dejstvo, da od zadnje konvencije pbslujejo tudi društva bivše SSPZ po pravilih SNPJ, kar uključuje seveda tudi določbe glede volitev uradnikov za prihodnje leto, nadalje, ker nova pravila še niso tiskana, da bi jih društvom razposlali, se nam zdi umestno, da tukaj navedemo sledeče točke društvom v ravnanje:
Točka 100, Uprava krajevnih društev, določa: Uprava društva
sestoji iz predsednika, podpredsednika, tajnika, blagajnika, zapisnikarja, reditelja in zastopniki jednotinih publikacij. Poleg tega odbora naj ima društvo tudi nadzorni, bolniški ter porotni odsek ter društvenega zdravnika. Bolniški in porotni odsek je izvoljen po potrebi ter za dobo, kakor se zdi društvu potrebno.
točka 102, Kvalifikacije ali sposobnosti, pa pravi: V društveni odbor ne more kandidirati član, ki nima ob času volitev plačanih vseh rednih in izrednih asesmentov jednote in društva, ako ni član društva najmanj tri mesece in član jednote eno leto (izjema je za novoorganizirano društvo in sedaj za člane in društva, ki so prišli v jednoto z združenjem). Član gl. izvršnega odseka, zastopnik privatne flvljenske zavarovalne družbe, niti tajnik krajevnega društva katerekoli druge bratske organizacije ne more biti član društvenega odbora, niti ne član, ki je pod obtožbo te jednote ali katere druge bratske podporne organizacije.
To so torej vse važne določbe tikajoče se volitev društvenih odborov in je potrebno, da jih upoštevajo vsi člani in društva ter se kolikor mogoče strogo po njih ravnajo.
In seveda samo tu navedene kvalifikacije še ne naredijo dobrega uradnika. Za vsako društvo je dobro, da si pridobi spoštovanje in dober ugled, ker od tega je največ odvisen tudi napredek. Vse to pa je največ ležeče na tem, kako vodstvo ima društvo. Zato društvenih uradnikov ne volimo le radi formalnosti in ozirati se ne moremo na tiste, ki bi morda sprejeli samo radi časti ali kaj sličnega, temveč je neobhodno potrebno za prospeh društva ln dobrobit jednote, da upoštevamo predvsem tiste, ki so pošteni in lojalni ter imajo tudi voljo do dela ln agitacije. To so najboljše kvalifikacije!
Prirej s Imo bošičolce Ena zelo dobrih reklam za našo organizacijo ter izvrstnih agi-tacijskih sredstev so naše prireditve sa mklčke, zlasti prireditve božičnic. Precejšnje število naših društev se tega poslužuje ie več let ter z dobrim uspehom in pričakujemo, da bo takih prireditev letos Več kot smo jih imeli še kdaj poprej.
Ker se ta reč da opraviti s primerno malimi stroški, za društvo in jednoto pa lahko prinese mnogo dobrega, je priporočljivo, da bi se tega sredstva oprijeli pri vsakem krajevnem društvu. Ne samo malčki—tudi stareji člani so navadno veseli, če se božičnlca količkaj dobro izvede, starši otrok pa se počutijo bolj srečni in organizaciji hvaležni. In ako katero društvo želi uprizoriti še kako kratko igrico v zvezi z božičnico, toliko boljše. Nekaj takih iger inianio v gl. uradu in vam bomo drage volje ustregli, samo dajte nam vedeti.
Spomnimo ae članov-vojakov
Precejšnje število naših mladih članov je že bilo poklicanih v obligatno vojaško vežbanje, odkar je sjprejet novi zakon. Priporočljivo je da se vsako društvo, ki ima člana v službi Strica Sama ob priliki božičnih praznikov tudi nanj spomni s kakim primernim darilom. To bo lepo in bratsko. Ne sUne bogvekaj, zanj in za društvo ter organizacijo sploh pa je lahko velikega pomena. Naša zadnja konvencija je že tudi na to mislila, ko je spreje a resolucijo, v kateri priporoča krajevnim društvom, da obdržati tesne stike s člani, ki so poklican v vojaško službo. Pred nami je sezona ali čas, ko se vsak spominja svojih in baš seda imamo tudi ml lepo priložnost, da dokažemo našim fantom ki Zio morali božičevati po raznih vojaških taborih, kako sočustvu-£mo z njimi, da naš. bratstvo ni samo na papirju ali kaka prašna fraza temveč resnično dejstvo-resnlčna, tesna prisrčnost in prava bratska vzajemnost.	^^ ^ ^^^

Slovenski narodni kongres v Ameriki
hekoliko pojasnila Cikaški Amerikanski Slovele od 25. novembra v uvodniku
naslovom "Slovenski kongres
v Ameriki" in s podpisom"—n" ^protuje načinu, s katerim je b,ia zasnovana na konferenci v Chicagu 15. novembra enotna politična akcija ameriških Slojev z oziram na našo staro
fagpovino.
Pisec- omenjenega članka, ki bo najbrže urednik, ima prvič pomisleke, odkod imajo naše Ljporne organizacije avtoriteto p politično udejstvovanje, ko p i m a j o—vsaj nekatere—"v ivojih pravilih. stroga nepri-itranska določila glede politi-V tem slučaju je vsem jas-po toliko, da tukaj ne gre za običajno ameriško strankarsko politiko, temveč gre samo za bo-fcčnost Slovenije v kakršnem k>li političnem okviru, torej za jpedno zadevo, za katero se or-pnizacije lahko zavzamejo ne jlede na to, če je kaj glede tega r pravilih ali ne. Prav tako ni pomožna akcija za stari kraj nikjer dovoljena v pravilih.
Drugič je urednik Amerikan-Aega Slovenca proti temu, da bi bile v vodstvu ali v ospredju sedanje politične akcije ameriških Sovencev v prid naši stari domovini osebe, ki so imele med Bdnjt) svetivno vojno opraviti iznanim "milijondolarskim fondom". V zvezi s tem fondom omenja pisec "čudne vloge", ki a jih v zadnji vojni igrale njemu neljube osebe, dalje pravi, da "ameriški Slovenci tistih žalostnih slučajev še niso pozabili" in "zato in radi boljše strpnosti na vseh straneh bi osebe, ki so tako in tako kompromitirane v preteklosti, ne smele imeti svojih prstov pri taki skupni vza-janni akciji."
Sedanja politična akcija ame-riikih Slovencev, kolikor je že v teku, bazira na predstavništvu vseh slovenskih centraliziranih podpornih, kulturnih in političnih organizacij v Amerik^kate-nepobitno—drugega pred-lavništva sploh ni!—in nihče, ki hoče biti pravičen in demokratičen, ne more diktirati organi-Rcijam, koga naj pošljejo kot ivojega zastopnika na konference in zbore. To je eno. Drugo pa je~in to je glavno—da do danes k ni bilo nikjer in od nikogar lobenega avtentičnega dokaza,
da so osebe, ki. so med zadnjo svetovno vojno vodile Slovensko republičansko združenje oziroma Jugoslovansko republičansko združenje ali takozvani "mi-lijondolarski fond", zakrivile kakšno nečastno dejanje, da bi bile kaj poneverile ali ukradle, ali da bi bile izkoristile tisti fond v svoje osebne koristi ali na kakršen koli način upravičile urednika Amerikanskega Slovenca, da sme njihovo delovanje v zvezi z omenjenim fondom imenovati "čudno vlogo" ali "ža-losten slučaj" ali kakšno "kom-promitiranost.u
O "milijondolarskem fondu" je bilo že prelitih na galone. črnila v kritikah, a vse to so bila gola zabavljanja brez trohice kakšnega dokaza, da je kdo kaj zakrivil pri teip. Na drugi strani so bili od vsega začetka objavljeni natančni računi, koliko je kdo prispeval, kam so šli izdatki in koliko je preostanka; ti računi se objavljajo še danes, redno vsako leto od poverjeništvaf ki ima preostanek fonda v oskrbi.
Pripravljalni odbor Slovenskega narodnega kongresa ni pooblaščen govoriti v imenu po-verjeništva tega fonda, vendar z lahkim srcem reče, da se zdaj približuje čas, ko nam bo preostali fond 'fSrav prišel, če bodo ameriški Slovenci nastopili enotno in možato za svobqdo in demokracijo svojih rojakov v stari domovini—za tisto svobodo in demokracijo, za katero je na tisoče ameriških rojakov prispevalo v "milijondolarski fond."
Apeliramo na rojake, ki imajo kakršne koli predsodke v tem ali onem oziru, naj bodo danes sami najboljši zgled strpnosti ali tolerance in naj nfe mečejo polen pod noge onim, ki so pripravljeni delati in se žrtvovati,, kolikor jim je mogoče, za boljšo bodočnost naše stare domovine.
Prvič v zgodovini slovenskega naseljenstva v Ameriki so danes možnosti za enotno nastopanje, za-enotno akcijo v prid Slovencem v star4 domovini in naše iskreno mnenje je, da pred to možnostjo se morajo umakniti v ozadje vsi predsodki, ki so vpričo naloge, katere se lotevamo— zelo, zelo malenkostni, Za pripravljalni odbor Slovenskega narodnega kongresa: Ivan Molek. tajnik.

Zaključni zapisnik federacije SSPZ

predsednik, ki tudi poziva in apelira na vsa društva, da se združijo kolikor je le mogoče in da gredo sedaj nu delo z vsemi močmi za večjo združeno organizacijo SNPJ. Govor br. Kvar-ticha se vzame na znanje.
Razno: Sledi precej obširna debata, kaj se bo storilo s preostalo blagajno. Br. Anton Red-nak govori, da so v federaciji društva iz okrajev Fayette in Westmoreland, kakor tudi iz za-padne Penne in bi bilo težko deliti blagajno, nakar predlaga; da se federacija razpusti in preostalo blagajno pošlje na Jugoslovanski pomožni odbor (slovenski sekciji) za pomoč ljudem v stari domovini. S tem se bo pomagalo resnično dobri akciji
Ker se večina teh članov nahaja v bližini Edisona ali kam-pe 50, se letošnja priredba vrši v tej naselbini. Najeli smo znano dvorano v kampi 50, kjer se je vršila tudi letošnja majniška proslava kansaških društev SNPJ. Božičnica se vrši v soboto, 20. decembra, zvečer.
Ampak ta priredba ne bo samo za člane mladinskega oddelka. Najeli smo namreč za ta večer znano in priljubljeno frontenaško godbo, ki zna igrat "za stare in mlade", da bo toliko več veselja in zabave za vse.
Vabimo torej tudi vse člane o-koliških društev, da pridete na to priredbo. Ker vlada nekako mrtvilo med našimi tukajšnjimi društvi, da imamo poredko kje kakšno "pošteno" društveno veselico, se upravičeno nadejamo, da se pridete zabavat z nami ta večer.
Vse podrobnosti programa bodo objavljene pozneje.
FederacUakl odbor.
Zabava in bošlčnlca chlcašake federacijo
Chlcago. 111. — Ponovno želim opozoriti delavce dneva SNPJ, da se bo zanje vršila zabava v soboto zvečer, 6. decembra, v dvorani SNPJ. Odbor, v katerem imajo k federaciji pridružena društva vsak po enega zastopnika, se je sestal ter uredil vse predpriprave za najboljšo zabava Zato želimo, da pridejo na to zabavo vsi, kateri so v dnevih dneva SNPJ izvršili razna dela, ker z njih sodelovanjem je bilo omogočeno federaciji izvršiti v splošno zadovoljstvo to veliko nalogo. Da se jim za ta trud vsaj malo povrne, bo ta priredba zanje brezplačna ter jih ponovno vabim, da jo posetijo.
Kakor prejšnja leta, federacija tudi letos priredi božično priredbo v nedeljo, 21. dec. v dvorani SNPJ, društva, spadajoča k federaciji v South Chicagu, bodo pa imela svojo božično priredbo v Hrvatskem Domu. Zato se o-pozarja članstvo, da poseti te priredbe. To posebno še, ker so te vrste priredbe zelo dobra reklama za SNPJ med mladino ter so postale tako popularne, da bi bilo v veliko škodo jedno-ti, ako bi jih opustili. Da nam jih bo mogoče vzdržati, Je potrebno, da se jih članstvo SNPJ v teh okrožjih bolje udeleži kot se jih jc pa zadnjih par let. Izgovor, katerega nekateri tako radi rabijo, ne drži; ta je, da so njihovi otroci odrasli ter da naj sedaj tisti posetijo priredbo, katerih otroci bodo prejeli darila. Upoštevati je treba, da je priredba v zvezi z velikim stroški, kateri se vsako leto potrošijo za darila.
Zato pričakujemo, da bo letos članstvo napolnilo dvorano SNPJ, kakor jo je že v prejšnjih letih na enakih priredbah.

Proti koncu leta
«
Walsenburg. Colo,—Leto se bliža h koncu. Vsi podjetniki že sedaj pregledujejo račune in svoje delo, kaj je bilo dobrega in kaj slabega in kako izboljšati poslovanje v prihodnjem letu. Tudi mi člani SNPJ bi ae morali vprašati, ali smo izpolnili svojo dolžnost napram SNPJ v tem letu ali ne in ako smo pripravljeni v prihodnjem letu popraviti to, kar smo letos zanemarili. Tfo naj bo vprašanje posameznega člana in obenem tudi vsakega društva naše jednote.
Ta mesec so volitve društvenih odbornikov, od katerih je precej odviano društveno poslovanje. In letos je mesec december še bolj važen za nas, ker se združujejo društva SNPJ in bivše SSPZ. Tako ae je tudi društvo 8 bivše SSPZ pridružilo društvu 299 SNPJ. Prva skupna seja se bo vršila v nedeljo, 21. dec., prl-četek točno ob 9. dopoldne v navadnih prostorih. Radi tega prosim vse člantsvo obeh društev, da upoštevajo to naznanilo in se Udeleže te seje, ker bo pomembna r.a naše bodoče poslovanje.
Obenem pa tudi'vabim vse članstvo in drugo občinstvo iz okolice, da nas posetite na naši veselici, ki se vrši v Walaenburg Pavilionu na božični večer, 24. dec. To bo naša božičnica, katero priredita društvi 299 SNPJ in 8 bivše SSPZ. Igrala bo izvrstna godba iz Puebla, pričetek ob 9. zvečer.

O Bratoljubu in adrušenju milwsuikih društev
Mllwaukee.—Kakor veste, so v mesecu decembru letne ali glavni- >«'j» Tako ima tudi naše društvo Bratoljub 234 ŠNPJ svojo letno sejo 14. dec. ob 2. popoldne v navadnih prostorih. Dnevnega roda ne bom razlagal, ker vsi veste, kaj je glavna seja. Kar je za to aejo najbolj zanimivo, je to, da bomo upe-ijali tri nove člane. Po sklepu lanske letne seje se mora te seje udeležiti vsak član in članica, drugače se bo z njim, ali iz njo postopalo kot je zaključeno. Izvzeti so samo bolniki in oni izven društvenega sedeža

in prišli na seja Vsa čast onim, ki se drže obljube, katero ao dali ob pristopu v jednoto ln prihajajo na aeje.
Bratje in sestre! Prihodnje leto bo naše društvo praznovalo 30-letnico avojega obstanka in vi šalite, da ae priredi proslava te obletnice. Ali boste pustili samo par Članom, da narode načrt in izvrše vae, delo za to proslavo? Obžalujem, ker kaj takega ni mogoče izvršiti brez vaše kooperacije. Lahko se pa vse to izvrši s večjo udeležbo in večjim sodelovanjem.
Rad bi tudi vedel, kaj je z onimi člani in članicami, ki ste bili prejšnja leta aktivni v vseh ozi-rih: prišli ste na aeje, na priredbe in pridobivali nove člane. Kaj Je zdaj vzrok vaši pasivnosti? Saj niate še preatai i in tudi ne preveč zaposleni. Ali se je vam kakšna krivica zgodila ali se mogoče še godi? Na društveni seji je prostor, da se vse poravna, kar ae aploh da poravhati. Mogoče niste zadovoljni s sedanjim odborom? Ce ja to, tedaj ai lahko pomagate, aamo pridite na letno sejo in ai izvolite drugo odbornike po vaši šel j i. Ako vas ne bo na glavno aejo, tedaj bo moral zopet prevaeti stari odbor za prihodnje leto. Seveda, tajnik mora priti, da opravi sVo-Je delo, ravno tako predsednik, da vodi aejo, blagajnik, da poda društvene računa, nadzorni odbor, da poroča o stanju knjig, bolniški nadzorniki, da povedo, v kakem stanju so našli bolnike. Kaj pa vi doma delata? Mar naj društveni odborniki poročajo le sami sebi?
V Članski Prosveti od 19. nov. sem čital sugestijo br. Johna Perkoti glede združenja mil-wauških društev. Jaz ae v celoti strinjam z njim. Čeprav sem tajnik Bratoljub^ se nič n* bojim kot se nekateri tajniki, da bi potem izgubili urade. Meni ni za to, mani je na tem, da se združijo vsa naša mala društva v eno veliko celoto, ki bo lažje eksistirala. Kaj pa s ženskim društvom Venero? Hudi to ni izvzeto, tudi one naj ae pridružijo enemu ali drugemu, ker mi Itak ne moremo biti brez šensk, kakor tudi ženske na brez nas rpo-šklh.
Želim, da bi o tem vsa mil-wauška društva razpravljala na svojih glavnih sejah in se izrekla za združenje. Na ta način bi bila večja udeležba na sejah, na priredbah in pri splošnem glasovanju. Ako bi ne bilo toliko različnih društev, bi po moji razsodnosti že Imeli svoj narodni dom in shajališče za stare In mlade, tako pa še zdaj nimamo nič. Kaj ste prej delali, Je uganka, toda kar zdaj delamo, se malo vidi. Alt" *no društvo kaj zgradi, pa drugo podere. Ako bi bili združeni, bi se na aejah ze-dinill in zaključili In potem bi ne imel kdo podirati. Ce bi tako delali, hI slovenski dom že stal ln bi bil nam vsem v ponoa, tako pa ni nič.
Ko govorim o potrebi združenja, imam v mislih tudi društvo Lilijo in JPZS Ni več dal« čas, ko bodo prisiljena združiti se, kar tako zapovedujejo h* današnje okolščine
Apeliram torej na vse rojake v Milwaukeeju, da na decembrskih sejah vzamete v pretres to vprašanje. Ml |x»šamo in se staramo, z agitacijo gre slabo, v resnici vsak dan slabše pri nas starih, z mlajšimi pa veste, ks-ko je.

Zapisnik seje gospodarskega odseka
Redna mesečna seja gospodarskega odseka SNPJ se je vršila 12. sept. v hotelu Fort Plttu v Pittsburghu, Pa„ ob ». dopoldne. Predsednik Petrovič pojasni, da se je seja sklicala dan pred zasedanjem 12. konvencije zato, da se prihrani na stroških. Zapisnik seje z dne 6. avg. se sprejme.
Predsednik poroča, da v zadevi Pettijevega in Warncrjevega posojila v Clevelandu so se pod-vzeli koraki ln odplačila bodo bolj točna, Obsežna popravila na Hansenovem posestvu v Youngstownu so ustavila odplačila, posestvo se ceni na okrog $4200, neplačana bilanca znaša $2600, zaostali davki pa približno $56. Priporočilo, da dolžnik plača davke in redne obroke, se sprejme.
V preteklem poslovnem letu so bili dohodki prve vknjižbe telefonske družbe Eastern Illinois dokaj nizki, izgledi za višje dohodke pa so sedaj gotovi. Tajnik Vider pojasne, da so se zadevne zadolžnlcc prodale po vrednosti ln obrestih,

Nekolike komentarja Fontaaa, Cal.—Ni moj namen, da bi se • kum prepiral v Časopisih, vendar se oglasim na kritiko iz Fontane, ki Je bila prlob-čena v Prosveti 5. nov. Br. Bla-zlče je najprvo kritiziral delegate 12. konvencije in dejal, da jo v organizaciji veliko članov, ki se nič ne ozirajo na pravila, pač pa imajo svoja pravila, ki so popolnoma v nasprotju s pravili sprejetimi na konvenciji, | Tukaj je br. Blazič resnico povedal. Toda ča bi bil on pre-čital pravila in se ravnal po njih, bi pri našem društvu no bilo prišlo do takega prepira, da Je nad 30 članov radi tistih malenkoati prestopilo.

Urednikove pripombe
ji v prid naši »Uri domovini Ta akcija še ni organizirana, kajti zadnjo besedo bo imel kongres, ki je sklican za 12. februarja pr. 1., vendar je tukaj možnost, da bomo zdaj nastopili enotno vsi ali vsaj večina.
Če hočemo uspeti, moramo biti združeni za neki cilj. To nas lahko uči izkušnja iz preteklosti. Med zadnjo svetovno vojno so bili ameriški Slovenci razcepljeni na dve ali tri struje in nobena ni imela pravega uspeha. Poskrbeti moramo, da bo zdaj drugače.

POKOPAJMO STARE PREPIRE I
Se vedno prihajajo člani v Prosveto s spornimi zadevami, ki izvirajo iz volitev delegatov pred šestimi ali sedmimi meseci za zadnjo konvencijo.
Zadeve, ki ee direktno tičejo spornih delegatov, smo ustavili za objavo takoj po konvenciji o-ziroma sredi oktobra, ko smo videli, da zadeva enega prizadetega društva ali člana privlačuje druga prizadeta društva in člane, da prihajajo z enakimi zadevami na dan. S ponovnim rešetanjem onih zadev v glasilu, ki jih je končnoveljavno rešila konvencija, ne pridemo nikamor.
Ostali pa so pri nekaterih družtvlh spori, ki izvirajo izpred konvencije in povzročajo nove razprtije. Pjrosimo prizadete brate, naj vendar enkrat pokopljejo tiste spore doms in naj prenehajo v dopisih s prepiri, ki mejijo na gole osebnosti. Danes so pred nami večje in važnejše zadeve in Žkods je časa in energije za malenkostno pričkanje pri društvih in po naselbinah sploh.
NESPAMETNI. MALENKOSTNI UGOVORI
V elevelandski Ameriški Domovini čitamo ugovore proti skliesnju slovenskega narodnega kongresa po predstavnikih podpornih organizacij, češ, da naše podporne organizacije niso poklicane za nameravano politi čno akcijo. Odborniki teh orga nizacij niso bili izvoljeni za to, da vodijo politiko glede stare domovine. Relifno akcijo za stari kraj lahko vodijo, to se jim prizanese, ne pa politična akcija!
Čudovito Je to. Relifno akcijo lahko vodijo, ne pa politične! Oboje pa je izredna nujnost, ki nima nič , opraviti z vsakdanjo politiko Ali bi ntx bilo otročje, če bi rekli, da podporna organi-
na vsej črti. Ameriški Slovenci ne smejo nositi sramote, da so pomagali ustvariti kakšno novo diktaturo v starem kraju.
MI NOČEMO NIČESAR DIKTIRATI STAREMU KRAJUI
Clevelandska Ameriška Domovina vprašuje, ali naj ameriški Slovenci diktiramo obliko državnega sistema bodoči Jugoslaviji? Nato pa modruje, da bi bilo bedasto nsjprej debatirati, kakšno obliko vlade naj ima nova Jugoslavija, potem pa osvajati ozemlje za novo državo. Prvo mora biti parcela ali stavbi-šče, potem šele je hiša.
Ameriški Slovenci ne diktiramo ničesar. Kako pa bi sploh mogli? Ampak večina ameriških Slovencev je toliko pametna, da lahko reče: če smo ml pozvani od predstavnikov Slovenije, ki so danes v Londonu kot člani jugoslovanske vlade ali zunaj nje, naj pomagamo naši stari domovini do združenja in svobode, tedaj imamo po vseh demokratičnih načelih pravico, da tem predstavnikom povemo, kako si mi zamišljamo svobodo naše stare domovine. Če smo mi pozvani, naj brusimo jezik ln pete v interesu stare domovine, da nas bodo slišali oni, ki bodo gradili novo Evropo, tedaj imamo vso pravico, da razodenemo graditeljem, kaj so naše želje glede SVOBODE naše rojstne domovine in kaj bi bilo po našem uver-jenju in izkušnjah najbolje za naše rojake v starem kraju. Dalje imamo pravico, da povemo u-radnlm predstavnikom Slovenije, ki se nahajajo v Londonu in Ameriki, kaj pričakujemo od nove Jugoslavije za naše skromno delo in če imajo kakšne garancije za nas, da bodo naše želje upoštevane. Ali je to kakšno diktiranje?
Bratje pri Ameriški Domovini lahko javno izpovedo, da so oni vso skrb glede bodočnosti Slovenije in nove Jugoslavije prepustili jugoslovanski vladi v Londonu. To je njihova zadeva, ampak vsi ameriški Slovenci ni so tega mnenja. Veliko nas je, najbrže večina, ki nam ni vseeno, kakšna naj bo politična oblika nove Jugoslavije in še posebej združene Slovenije. Če Je res, da jugoslovanska vlada, v Londonu lahko vse sama uredi brez nas, čemu nas potem potrebuje? Samo za štafažo?
Ameriški Domovi bi tudi lahko povedali, da noben praktičen goapodar ne gleda za parcelo ali stavbišče brez načrta, kaj bo zidal na parceli; vsak pameten človek misli na obliko stavbe, kakršno bi rad imel, ko še nima parcele. Mi smo prepričani, da je velika večina ameriških Slovencev proti temu, da bi se Slovenija vrnila v staro Jugoslavijo, smo pa za to, da Slovenija z najširšo samovlado posta-

' Glede sdruženja društev Mllwaukee. — Na zadnji konvenciji v Pittsburghu je prišlo do združenja SNPJ in SSPZ. Tisti, ki so oziroma so bili člani o-beh organizacij, se morajo pridružiti k temu ali onemu društvu.
Tudi v Milvvaukeeju imamo dosti društev, predvsem na južni strani. Bolje bi bilo, da bi ta društva združili iz dveh razlogov. Prvič zakaj je treba plače-
zacija lahko izrazi aimpatije do
Slovencev v starem kraju, ne | ne del demokratične Jugoslovan sme Jim pa svej/tvati, kako naj
uredijo svoje bodoče življenje, da ne bodo več potrebovali naš«
nine za društvene seje, ker je pri vsakem društvu mala udeležba. Drugič ima vsako društvo piknik in po dve veselici na leto, povsod pa vidiš ene in iste glave skupaj, ene ln iste delava ne člafte in mala udeležba. Ljudem ne moreš zameriti, ker je preveč zabave povsod. In tako poberejo ves dobiček oziroma dohodke pivovarna, godba in najemnina od dvorane ali prostora.
To omenjam radi tega» ker ima odbor za Slovenski dom seji 14. dec., na kateri se bo ukrenilo, ali se kupi dvorana SST ali ne. Torej ako bi šla naša društva bolj skupaj, da bi imeli skupne zabave, manj toda boljše, bi lahko pričakovali usj?eh. Potem bi tudi lahko pomagali z denarnimi prispevki, da bi prej plačali dvorano. Naše društvo. 16 SNPJ 1-ma sedaj pet delnic v ta namen, ampak ako bi delali skupno, bi jih lahko kupili 90 ali več. Z združenimi močmi bi naredili več kot posamezno, tako za društvo kot za slovenski dom.

Cleveland. — Naše društvo V boj 53 SNPJ je proslavljajo svojo 35-letnico. Že meseca februarja je bilo sklenjeno, da vsak član plača 25c doklade v društveno blagajno, v zameno pa dobi prosto Vstopnico na proslavo. Ta sklep je bil zato sprejet, ker je protipostavno vsiljevati vstopnic^. Ta dopisnik se dobro razume na take postave, da moraš plačati v korist društvene blagajne brez fžjeme, si.
Ko so bile oddajane te vstopnice, so pa barroomarski disku-zarji pričeli hujskati članstvo radi teh 25c, ker so menda mislil, ako imaš kvoder, pol dolarja ali dolar, da je barroom edini prostor, kjer ga smeš zapraviti. Mi se čudimo našemu Ženskemu spolu, da tak slučaj vzame za tako nektfj groznega. In pozneje so te- ženske raznašale take mame naprej, dasi so brez vsake podlage. Naše društvo ne sili nikomur vstopnice, ker pa je bila društvena 35-letnica, smo sprejeli tak sklep, to je, da vsak član plača 25c doklade v društ veno blagajno in dobi zastonjsko vstopnico, bo sedaj še nismo bili obveščeni, da je kdo umrl radi tistega kvodra.
Mi bi želeli, da bi se v "kulturnih" kovačnicah ne kuhalo toliko zgagarij, potem pa se obešali na naš račun. To absolutno odklsnjamoi ker ravno isti bar roomarji brez vsakega ugovora radi plačujejo pri drugih društvih prisiljene vstopnice zs bankete ali navadne veselice, toda ni nobenega protesta. Saj ponekod vsiljujejo še celo pivske listke in to oglašajo celo v listih, ampak je vse okey. Če bi kaj takega storilo društvo V boj, bi bil ogenj v strehi.
Podpisani ima dvs sinova tem društvu, toda ni bilo nosnega na proslsvi, ker eden dela za državo na propelerjih v San Antoniu, Tex., drugi pa je ostal doma pri otrokih, da Je njegova žena in njena sestra lahko stregla gostom na proslsvi. Pa tudi

bolj junaški komunisti strah pred nami, kako bomo mi oblegali njih trdnjavo, dasi nas je bilo komaj dva ftucata.
Opozarjam člane društva 53, da bo prihodnja seja drugo nedeljo, to je 14. dec., v spodnji dvorani SDD na Waterloo. Seja se prične ob devetih zjutraj, ker bo radi volitev uradnikov trajala dalj časa.
Naš podpredsednik John Šorc je sedaj na bolniški listi. Želimo, da bi bil do letne seje že zdrav, vi člani ga pa obiščite, ker prijazni bratski obiski so doittkrat najboljše zdravilo.
Moram tudi opozoriti celokupno članstvo, kako včasih .naši člani radi poslušajo one, ki jim servirajo — medico. Zadnja konvencija SNPJ je sklenila, da gl. odbor lahko letno porabi neko vsoto za podpiranje tamburaš-kega zbora neke univerze, češ da bo ta zbor podal ameriški javnosti naše jpesmi in skladbe. Slišal sem že precej kritike radi tega nepremišljenega sklepa, ker so tudi vzroki. Prvi je, da tamburica ni naš "narodni inštrument", nlarveč hrvatski. Drugič bi mi morali imeti klasične sklarbe, toda še tiste, kolikor jih imamo, ni dirigentov, ki bi jih prirejali za razna godala. Tretjič bi morali upoštevati tudi druge, ki so bolj poznali kot predstavniki naše pesmi in glasbe.
Jaz ne morem razumeti, zakaj so naši stari delegatje takoj pripravljeni dvigniti roko pri glasovanju, ne da bi pomislili, kam gre njih asesment. Naša metropola razširja slovensko pesem in glasbo po radiu, toda ni nihče iz Clevelanda prišel s predlogom, da se nam da $1000 podpore. Le Josephine Močnik je predlagala $10 za Glasbeno matico, toda je ni uslišal ne Bog ne delegacija, dasi je bila vsota malenkostna.

Venera as zahvaljuje Milwaukee. Wla. — V izrecno veselje in prijetno zadoščenje mi je poročati javnosti, da se je program za 2JMetnico društva Vehere dne 2l nov. sijajno ob-nesel. Navzlfcj temu, da se je vreme, »kot za^nagajivost, ravno ______________o v občutno mrzlo, se je zbralo prilično število udeležencev, HJ so z zanimanjem sledili izvajanju pevskih točk.
Prvo je nastopil mešani zbor tukajšnjih ml. krožkov, in teh članov je lepo število, da jih je veselje videti.^ Njih voditelj br. Frank Puncar je v uvodu predstave na navzoče toplo apeliral, da vsak, ki ima veselje in glas za petje, naj se pridruži pevskemu zboru, naj se priglasi njemu ali pa pride kar na vajo, ki se vrše vsak teden ob sejah v Šoš-tarichevi dvorani. Njegov apel je zelo na mestu in je iskreno želeti, da doseže povoljen odziv v prospeh glasbe jn kulture sploh.
Nato nam je mladina pod vodstvom njih učitelja mr. S. Jur-šika z lepo ubranimi in ljubko donečimi glasovi zapela več domačih, nam vsem poznanih in priljubljenih peamic, s katerimi so nas tako prijetno presenetili da je nam na mah zarajalo srce da nam Je iz obrazov zasijalo veselje, ki smo ga izrazili z burno odobravalnimi aplavzi!
Enako odlično se je za tem postavil tudi naš mladi gost E-die Udovich iz Chicaga. Z mič-nimi naatopi nam je ob igranju na kitaro s svojim čistim in srebrno zvoneči m glasom zapel nekaj šaljivih slovenakih pesmic in še eno angleško za nameček za kar je žel gromovit aplavz od navzočih.
Iz njegovih mičnih nastopov je zaznati, da mladi Edie poseduje prirojeno nadarjenost, kakor tu di, da je skrbno izvežban pod nadzorstvom svojega očeta Antona Udovicha, ki je kot pevec Prešerna vsadil in neguje tudi v svojem sinu občutek ljubezni do petja in kulture sploh, za kar mu je izrečno čestitsti! Da je v tem oziru že uspešen, dokazujejo sinovi odlični nastopi in se odsevsjo še tem bolj jasno v njegovi neutešljivi želji do nadaljnjega pouka v izpopolnitev svojega talenta.
Ko je naš mladi gost za kulisami opazoval In poelušal lepo ubrsno petje naših krožkov, je vzhičeno svojemu očetu vzkliknil: "Kako lepo /pojejo, kako tabornega učitelja imajo, tega bi Jaz rad imel!" To znači. da mu v prirojeni nadarjenosti mo-
čno kiije želja, posvetiti se učenju, da ga kal ljubezni do petja nagonsko sili na pot, ki ga mogoče privede do sijajne kariere na polju kulture. Naša iskrena želja je, mladi Edie, da je na tem potu vsa sreča s teboj in da dosežeš svoje željene uspehe v vsestranskem oziru!
Če pomislimo, kako težko se je nam priučiti pravilne izgovorjave angleške govorice, da je še tem težje tukaj rojeni mladini privaditi se in izgovarjati pravilno slovenske besede v pesnitvi, bomo znali ceniti veliko požrtvovalnost njih samih, njih učiteljev in voditeljev. V po-štev tega je nas starejše generacije moralna dolžnost, da jim nudimo naše sodelovanje, da z našimi močmi podpremo njih požrtvovalnost in jih tako nagradimo za njih vrlo vztrajnost, ki je j>oleg prirojene nadarjenosti temeljna podlaga za dosego uspehov, ki jih beležijo sebi in nam v ponos. Zato ni več kot prav, da dajemo vso priliko naši mladini, da na naših priredbah nastopa in ae tako vežba, da naposled, kot dobro vzgojeni naši nasledniki, častno nadaljujejo socijalno in strokov no udejstvovanje slovenskega življa. Od vzgoje naše mladine je odvisno, koliko Časa bo živela in se glasila naša slovenska govorica, kdaj nam bo zgodovinska kronika zaprla knjigo našega socialnega sožitja.
V tem smislu se torej v imenu društva Venere 192 SNPJ iskreno zahvaljujem za nastop tukajšnjim krožkom, in sicer vsem mladim pevcem, njih učitelju in voditelju, istotako federaciji za poklonitev tozadevnih stroškov! Šlično iskrena hvala našemu mlademu gostu Edieju Udovichu in njegovemu očetu Antonu Udovichu za duševni u žitek, ki ste ga nam naklonili in nam s tem priredbo še bolj olepšali!
Nadalje izrekamo iskreno zahvalo vsem cenjenim udeležencem od tu in iz Chicaga. Starša Udovich in dvojica Rokave so se nam zelo priljubili in nas zelo veseli, da smo imeli čast se. z njimi seznaniti; izrečno želimo da se ob kaki «priliki prav kmalu

Čestitamo! — Za veselični odbor:
ChriaHna Moaoloy.
O konvenciji in društvu 137 Cleveland. O,—V Proeveti še vedno čitamo, kaj vse dobro ali sjabo se je zgodilo na 12. redni konvenciji SNPJ. Želela bi, da bi se to obsojanje delegacije že nehalo. Kot delegatinja rečem tole: vsi delegatje in delegatinje ter glavni odborniki so na zadnji konvenciji dobili besedo, če so zanjo vprašali, toda zakaj je imela večina tam jezike zavezane? Tam je bil čas, da bi povedali svoje mnenje v korist SNPJ.
Sedaj pa, ko čitam razno kritiko, kaj vse bi se mOralo napraviti in kaj se ni storilo, postaja vsa ta stvar že smešna. Dnevnice so bile prevelike. Saj vam je že Barbič pojasnil, da imajo pri njih uniji delegatje $18 na dan. Na 12. konvenciji, se meni zdi, smo bili tudi sami delavci, in to tudi kulturni delavci, ki vsak po svoje dela v svoji naselbini le za korist društva in jednote. Vsaj jaz nisem videla nobenega kapitalista na konvenciji.
Čitala sem tudi, kam so se skrili varuhi jednotinega premoženja, ko smo glasovali za dnevnice. Meni se vidi, da se naši varuhi vedno ln povsod potegu-jejd za pravice delavcev, in so bili tudi tukaj na mestu. Ravno nasprotni smo bili pa vsi drugi, ko so bile na dnevnem redu plače glavnih izvršnih odbornikov. Kar priznajmo, da< so najnižje plačani v primeri z drugimi bratskimi organizacijami, dafei je naša SNPJ med največjimi. Torej je lahko nas sram, ker zahtevamo vse od njih; v njih rokah je naše veliko premoženje, da ga varujejo, kadar pridejo plače na vrsto, se pa neha vse bratstvo. Samo tega se nekateri veselijo, kako jih bodo spet namahali na prihodnji konvenciji.
Kar se tiče drugih sklepov konvencije, gotovo niso bili vsi IX) volji ne enemu ne drugemu. Saj še predsednik Združenih držav dela napake. Glavno sedaj
in
zopet snidemo, dotlej £a, da ste je to, da za enkrat skušamo ,po-
nam lepo pozdravljeni!
V imenu veseličnega odbora se izreka najlepša hvala našim pridnim delavkam in onim sestram, ki so nas v prid veselice obdarile. Zahvalimo se prav vsem, ki so nam s čimurkoli pomagali do boljšega uspeha! zavesti, da imamo še toliko naklonjenega občinstva, bomo na vdušeno v tem pravcu nadaljevale in vas prihodnjič presenetile zopet s kakim lepim progra mom.
Na zadnji seji Venere nam je zastopnica konference Prosvetne matice, sestra A. Puncar podala obširno in zanimivo poročilo, med drugim tudi glede pomožne akcije po vojni prizadetim v stari domovini. Poudarjala je, da je naša moralna dolžnost sedaj še toliko bolj, da tukaj naseljeni Slovenci porabimo vso našo moč, da dalje ohranimo našo slovensko govorico s tem, da jo učimo in jo razširjamo med našo mladino v socijalnem in kulturnem oziru. K temu je sprožila še svojo idejo, da bi bilo umestno, da si tudi društvo Venera omisli postaviti kako 1-gro na oder in tako pomaga razširjati našo govorico. Ideja in poročilo je bilo z odobravanjem vzeto na znanje in-po daljši razpravi, katere se je udeležilo več sester, je društvo sklenilo, da se izreče naša moralna (»odpora tudi akciji, ki so jo započeli v New Yorku v prid rešitve primorskih Slovencev izpod fašlsti-čnegs jsrma, v katerega so vklenjeni po zadnji svetovni vojni in trpe nepopisljive grozote, ki na človeško čuteča srca glasno vpijejo po obračunu!
Dne 9. dec. se bo vršila naša letna seja in sicer začetek bo ob 7:30 uri zvečer. Uljudno ste vabljene. da se iste udeležite vse članice! Zakaj je seja važna in vaša prisotnost potrebna, to vam je že v zadnjem tedniku raztol-mačil gl. predsednik v svoji koloni. Nekatere članice so že o-bljubile. da pridejo In prinesejo darilo. Je res razveseljivo, da I-mamo med nami članice, ki nam preskrbe in poklonijo okrepčilo. ki se nam po seji zelo prileže in se nas s tem še bolj navduši za nadaljno delovanje v prid društvu.
zabiti in popraviti ali izboljšati na prihodnji konvenciji čez štiri let v Evelethu, Minn. Apeliram na dopisnike Prosvete, da prenehajo s predbacivanjem in naj raje pišejo v dobrobit naše združene organizacije in za večjo SNPJ.
Poročilo, ki sva ga podali s so-delegatinjo Josie Zakrajšek na seji Naprednih Slovenk o konvenciji, so naše članice z veseljem sprejele. To pa zato, ker so vse zavedne in napredne žene in dobro razumejo, da se hiša ne more zgraditi v enem tednu in tudi ne v enem mesecu, ampak vzame časa. Isto velja tudi za konvencije.
Zdaj pa nekaj našim agilnim članicam društva Naprednih Slovenk 137 SNPJ: Naša letna seja se vrši v četrtek, 4. dec., v dvorani št. 1 v novem poslopju SND. Letna seja je važna in velikega pomena. Volile bomo odbor za prihodnje leto in tudi zastopnice v razne druge odbore Pridite vse, izjema naj bo le bolezen. Na naših sejah je vedno lušno in živahno in imamo tudi "bank night"—katero članico doleti sreča, dobi dolar iz društvene blagajne. Tudi na letni seji bo nekaj dobrega, zato bodite navzoče vse in se veselite z nami.
V naše društvo se je naselila tudi žalost. Zadnja dva meseca je nam smrt pobrala pet dobrih članic: sestre Somrak ($eler), Chervan, Lah, Merzlikf.r in Zaletel, našo ustanoviteljico. Tri od teh je zadela srčna kap, eno je ubil avto, sestra Lah pa je umrla po dolgi bolezni. Naj bo vsem lahka ameriška gruda, družinam umrlih članic pa izreka naše društvo globoko sožalje!
Sestre, katere ste čile in zdrave, udeležujte se društvenih sej, ker tam dobite duševno in telesno razvedrilo in se vsaj enkrat na mesec otreeete skrbi in težav, katerih je polna mera v vsa ki družini. Če je malo spremembe, se vse lažje prenaša
Napredne Slovenke tudi priredimo letno plesno veselico 3. januarja. Seja je sklenila, da vsaka članica kupi eno vstopnico zato, ker plačujemo premalo v našo društveno blagajno za upravne in druge stroške. S tem.
SREDA, 3. DECEMnoi
je tudi boljši uspeh veselice pomoč blagajni.
Apeliram tudi na naše članice ako ,e kateri mogoče, naj pri£
lje kako novo članico ¿ dni tvo. Zdaj se moramo požuriti da nadomestimo umrle članice * novimi. Če katera ve za kako ženo ali dekle, ki še ni pri dri tvu, naj jo vpiše, ali pa naj spo. roci kakšni izme dodbornic in se bomo potrudile, da jo prir*. ljemo v naše društvo.

Božlčnica slovensko šola SND
Cleveland« Ohlo.-V nedeljo 21. dec., ob 3. uri popoldne upri zorijo učenci šole S. N. Doma na St. Clair Ave. v avditoriju doma igro "Šola v nebesih" v treh dejanjih, pod režijo svoje učiteljice Mary Ivanush. Poleg igre bo tudi petje in deklamacije učencev obeh oddelkov šole, mla dinskega in odraslega. Po igri nastopi Miklavž, ki obdari učen ce šole mladinskega oddelka! razdeli druga božična darila Zvečer bo ples. Igra Johnny Peconov orkester, ki je zelo popularen med mladino. Vstopnina je 35c
za popoldne ali zvečer ali za oboje skupaj, če ostanete v dvorani po popoldanskem programu. Vstopnice se dobijo pri vseh tajnikih društev, ki so g&l ničarji S. N. Doma, kot tudi v slaščičarni mrs. Makovec v Domu,"pri John Tavčarju in pri podpisanem.
Zastopniki društev v Prosvet nem klubu SND ste prošeni, da poagitirate med svojimi prijatelji in na društvenih sejah, da bo udeležba na tej božičnici res vredna truda in prizadevanja ki je v zvezi s priredbo.
V mladinski oddelek šole se je vpisalo nekaj nad 50 učencev kar je sorazmerno jako malo primeri z veliko slovensko na selbino v Clevelandu, in z ozi rom na to, da je to edina slovenska šola v tem mestu. V šolo se še vedno lahko vpišejo otroki ln sicer vsako soboto po dnevu, ko se pouk vrši.
Odrasli oddelek slovenske šole je letos dokaj majhen, menda je vzrok velika zaposlenost, ki utrudi mladino, da ne izrabi prilike ob večerih za pouk v slovenskem jeziku. Če katerega veseli, se tudi še vedno lahko pridruži razredu, ki se obdržuje ob četrtkih zvečer v S. N. Domu. Vsakdo, ki je nad 16 let star ali stara, se. lahko vpiše v odrasli oddelek slovenske šole. Vse, kar se človek priuči v mladosti dobrega, kdaj prav pride. Tako je tudi koristno znanje slovenskega jezika, ki bo vsakomur le koristilo in nikomur škodilo. Zato se poslužite te izredne prilike, dokler šola obstoji. Če ne bo dovolj učencev v razredu, bomo morali razred odpraviti, kar bo škoda. Odrasli oddelek slovenske šole poučuje Antoinet-] te Kennick, ki je izvrstna učite ljica in se z njo učenci zelo pohvalijo.
Medtem, ko Nemci v starem kraju do smrti zatirajo naš slovenski narod, pa mi še doslej vedno svobodno dihamo in govorimo v Ameriki, koliko časa še, se ne ve, ker tudi tukaj se pripravljajo oblaki, ki znajo spremeniti marsikaj.
Zato obdržimo, kar imamo našega in krepimo, da nam ne umrje. Slovenska šola S. N. Doma je vredna vse podpore vsega naroda.—Za slovensko šolo S. N. Doma,	.

The Yuletide Season and Our Juveniles Integrity
With the yuletide season but a few days off, it is timely to mention the sctivlties which sre sponsored by our lodges and federations annually for the juvenile members of our Society.
We have in mind our Christmas affairs presented in various forms by many of our lodges. Some of our lodges have long realized the importance of utilizing this season to their advantage by arranging suitable children's programs and established the gift-giving practice. This has served primarily as a means of keeping the children within our rsnks and of attracting others into our midst. In recent years, since the formation o/ our Juvenile Circles, these annual children's festivities have assumed greater importance. More snd better programs are being presented in which greater numbers of juveniles partici-
W*
It seems that this is the season when children expect and r*> ceive special recognition and are thereby more responsive. This then, is the time fpr planned action on their behalf for the benefit of our lodges and the organization. Of course, the sponsoring lodges and federations must see to it that the programs are always in accord with the Society's principles of progressive idesls snd free-thought.
Our Juvenile Circles serve as excellent centers of action, and the advisers and managers in cooperation with lodge officers and members can obtain excellent results. There is a spirit and tradition in connection with this season which draws people together in harmony and willingness and provides that essential to success.
It is interesting to remember thst the yuletide season dates far back to prehistoric times. In fact, this season was celebrated by ihe pagans 2000 years before our era, and many of the present-day customs are traceable to that early period. The pagans were sun-worshipers and believed the sun was born each morning and sank into its grave at night. Upon the approach of the winter solstice they becsme increasingly alarmed at the diminishing power of the sun and feared it would ultimately be entirely eclipsed by darkness. At the passing of the solstice, around December 20, when the sun became more powerful each day there was much rejoicing at its supposed rebirth. Centuries later—in the 5th century of our era, to be exact—the celebration of the rebirth of the sun was converted and adopted to the meaning which it has todsy. However, the yuletide season nowadays is lsrgely used for commercial purposes.
It Is plsin thst the season pf gift-giving and ready good-will is important and should be utilized to our full advantage, although our Society practices this in terms of various benefits every dsy of the year. This Utter is our fraternaiism in truth^ and practice.
In prder to augment our juvenile programs during the season our Society has on hand a numberiof jaookteta containing sulta-

The dance committee searched high and wide for a good orchestra to play at the New Year's Eve Dance, December 31, and it is safe to say that in selecting Martin Kukovich and his Slovene Commanders a good choice was made. Within recent months, Martin has produced on numerous occasions one of our best orchestras, and we are satisfied that his orchestra will provide good entertainment at our dance. The American custom is to raise whoopee on New Year's Eve, and the Comets Lodge is providing the means to satisfy your social desires on that night Allow this announcement to fill your date for that night, and we pledge you an excellent night of fun and entertainment

On Sunday, Nov. 23, George (Gisb) Remeso and his Mrs. (Mickey). Frank (Pee Wee) Previc. and the writer traveled to Johnstown for a visit. Among others we visited with SNPJ First District Vice-Presidentelect, Joseph Culkar and his family, and with SNPJ Athletic Board member James Trofino and his wife. To them and others, and particularly the Bricelys and DePolaa. we are thankful for a good time due to their splendid hospitality.
If we were to make a count, we would discover that our SNPJ members enjoy numerous rights in our Society; and if we were to make a further count, we would discover that there are an equal number of duties. Outstanding among the duties is the obligation to attend the Annual December meeting of the lodge to which you belong. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Perform

Lodge 682 at Library Among them were Andy and Vic iona Pryatel. of Universal, who wen celebrating their sixth wedding , niversary. And they were really celebrating, for they did everythul from the modern jazz, the jitterbS to the polka. Martin Kukovich and his orchestra furnished the music and the huge crowd was well pleased' with it. The dance was a big sut cess for the lodge, and everyone ,■„. joyed it immensely.

We "'read the highlights of a "Mini in if te**''8pecch made recently Pittsburgh by a European govern" ment official before Hitler, who is in America in the interest of relief for those in his homeland. And while his speech appeared interesting enough, it seems entirely proper to question the motives of him, or similar persons, in regard to their platform. What-does he, or others, stand for as regards their futur«? homeland after the defeat of Hit-lerism? A return to what was before is certainly inadequate, and if these European officials jye genuine they should let known their intentions without reservations. We ought to expect them to stand firm in the establishment of a democratic Europe. If that is what they want, they should not hesitate to say so.
Last Saturday we had the pleasure of speaking at the 25th anniversary celebration of Lodge 300 of Braddock. A huge crowd attended and èxpressed wishes for further success to this lodge of approximately 200 adults and more than that many juveniles. Those active ôn the arrangements were Anion Rednak. Anton Rosants, and Franc»» Maria-hus. The chairman of the program was Matt Junko. brother of Detroit's Leo, Those presented with SNPJ *ins in recognition of 25 years in the lodge were Anton Casnik. Mike Knafelc, Frank Sale, and Gregor Tratnik. Anton Cipcic represented the Slovene Federation and made a. brief address. Wc had a swell time with fine people.
Don't fail to make arrangements for that Duckpin Tournament scheduled for New Year's Day in Carrick,
and the dance scheduled on the same date at Library. There will be a big representation, so plan to count yourself among the bowlers and
dancers. It is reported *thut the Golden Eagles Lodge of Girard, Ohio, will be represented with teams, and that's good news. And it's equally gratifying to read that the Chicago Pioneers gave favorable consideration to the Tournament invitation. We hope that the Pioneers will U»k'' advantage of their lodge's generosity and be with us that day.

IUrr as they both affect him di-
irctiy. ^jfll
Last week a froup of economist« ^ a report showing that price Ehave been concentrated in com "¡¡¡Itles which are only slightly, if ¿all affected by wagea. The big-[ L rise, they point out, is in farm Wducts. and the next biggest rise t been in raw materials—largely Jciusc of profiteering and specu-
ktK»n	_
Significantly enough, the report «rrts. the smallest rise has been In ^^ where wages bulk the largest [Eviously. then, the campaign to that soaring living costs are result of a rise in wage rates, 1 deliberately misleading, designed a divert attention from profiteering
Of course, there have been in grates in wage earnings, but the Mart emphasises that this is large-i fy the result of more and steadier gaployment and more overtime, the rise in hourly earnings or vge rates the least Important factor Their contention to substantial by the fact that prices and profit have outstripped wages
Among the economists who Invested economic trends are sUch «tU-known educators as William Alar of Columbia University; C. J. frtfdrich, Harvard University; J. D Kingslcy, Antioch College; Si-aoo Kuzents, University of Penn qlvama; Oscar Lange, University
4	Chicago; Selig Perlman, Univer-nty of Wisconsin, and others. They live formed a research group to gudy and report on relation of price on and wage increases. Certainly, (heir findings cannot be dubbed as >rtiaL" |
These experts also pointed out the bet that ".people who yell about tgh wages' as inflationary are quiet a s mouse about the tremendous giwnig in profits. Yet high profits trt dangerously inflationary." Corporate profits are reaching for the sky, and dividends so far this year ksvr increased 10 per cent. But that jimn't tell even half the story: corporations are hiding profits to escape tuition. . .
Yet, the same reactionary press vluch clamors for anti-labor leglala-
hon, carries on its daily propaganda flat soaring living costs are mainly 4* to wage increases. The work-si are entitled to know the guilty -*rty-the profiteers which la real-|J responsible for America's eco-•omic troubles.	fy '

Seem's as though members trans ferrlng from out of town or vice versa have a hard tline finding out where the secretary of that lodge lives. I think it would be a good idea for the members to get the ad dress from their sec'y when they ask for the tranafer, or else have new transfer cards made so that they would have the name of the secretary and also his address. This ftould avoid a lot of eonfuaion.

CHICAGO. ILL.—Goah we're In the month of December already. Before we'll know It, 1041 will be completed and well be In a new year, These months are flying by mighty fast, much taster than we would like to have them go. Pretty soon we're going to be electing officers for the new year. We will also have the Xmaa holidays and all th<we things that go with Xmas, such as the Juvenile Party, gifts, and cards. Our parents and young people mustn't forget that thia year's Juvenile Xmaa Party will be held Sunday. Decern* ber Situ and that they iiuihI let us know by December 18, if any of their talented youngsters want to appear on the pr<wam. Thus far, only a couple have made their deskg-natlons.
Last week's activities centered on Sava'a Fall Concert which was held
S the SNPJ Hall Sunday, and the
th wedding anniversary of John and Agnes Jureclc. Both affairs were well attended, especially tho Jureclc celebration, which had an attendance of over 500 guests* all of whom came to congratulate the cou* pie and wished them h«PI>inc«s ami health.
In our city we had two other festivities last Sunday. Each of them had to do with the cclebrutinn of Jugoslav Independence. Somehow, we have never been wmmed up to celebrate the Independence nf Jugoslavia becauae of the king and the royalty which governed that country. The same thing Is true' now when our country la being flooded with the Jugoslav propagandists for the restoration of the Jugoslav monarchy We have no particular love and certainly leas use for royalty. We would much prefer to see Jugoslavia have Its republican form of government. Why feed and spend a lot of money on a family that does mankind very little or no good. Why not establish a democracy, such as we have In the United Ststoa and iiapose of all unnecessary royal for* malltles. Let the American Jugoslavs > speak up now and demand a mora progressive and liberal Jugoslav government when It la again Instituted In Jugoslavia.
This week's news tells us of the arrival of a baby boy ln the family of Anton and Louise AUe. Congratulations!—We alao learned that Sophie Vhan has been married recent* nr. Her new name la Mis, Eakur. We extend our best wlahea.--Then we are told that Mr. Frank Llpov-tek Sr. father of three Pioneer mem-bca. pawed away In Kansas and the boys all went home for the funeralT

Confidential Information from Washington advises us of some new financing achemes by the U. 8. Gov* eminent. Heretofore, government agencies such as the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Federal .Home Loan Bank. Federal Housing Administration, and many <>Uu i Federal agencies, have had to go to the open market for their financing. It is expected that henceforth, those and other governmental agencies will bori-ow all the money they require right frum the U. S. Treasury and the U. S. Treasury will then get the neccssary money In the open mar ket. We believe this la going lo be a mighty fine and progressive step In government financing and'* we look forwaid to the development of a system of government financing which will bcrtefit the people as a whole.
In tme of U\e Issues of PROHVE TA, Brother Milan McdvesOk seems to imply that Mayor Frank Lausche of Cleveland, our Slovene mayor, In whom we are all Interested, Is not only going to be an honest and faith ful servant of the people, but we can • M><ti progreaaive action as wi ll through his administration. We know one thing, however, that when the money interests find Mayor Lausche too progressive, and performing too many gttod deeds in behalf of the working people, they will dispose of him juat ha they have of any other progressive politician. When, a couple of weeks ago we stressed the need for Socialist orientation and the hope that Mayor Lausche would have lieen brought up In Socialist and labor schools, we didn't wish to Imply thst he wasn't honest and sincere. We simply know from ex perlence that we cannot espect too much from one who la used to making deals and compromises In his political career. Socialists In par tleular shouldn't be too optlmlatle In fact, trained Soclullata know bet ter because of their experiences and becauae of their knowledge of the set-up of American politics. Not withstanding all of the optimism ex pressed by progressive Cleveland elements, we still stand on the re marks previously made.	*

PROSVETA
reports of the supreme officers
To Detogatee of 12th Regular Convention of SUP J, Pittsburgh. Pa SUPREME TREASURER'S REPORT—(Continued) . From the submitted statist lea the progress we achieved can be seen. The Society's aaaeta increased almost one and a half million dollars. The amount of defauted bonds decreaaed-lrom $1,05»,947.93 to $311,262.00 or by $748,675.93 and the outlook at present is that it will not be long when all our investments will again be in a good condition.
A detailed report of investment tranaactions and investing the Society's assets in general is submitted by the Finance Committee, of which I am a member alao. Because of this it seems unnecessary for me to repeat
it in my report.
My report includes only the Insurance Department, that is, the Adult Department, Juvenile Department, and Minors' Beneficiary Fund. A more detailed financial report of Proaveta and Printery la given by the Manager of Society's Publications, und in the Secretary's report of the Society's total aaaets.
As it is probably already known to you, I am seriously ill (arthritia in the left knee) and was thus forced to remain from the office for little more than a year. Last spring my condition improved so much that I was again able to resume working on April 14. My health then again became worse so that in the middle of June I waa again forced to remain at home. I otherwise feel good except that I can not walk without the aid of crutches and even then with difficulty.
At the time of writing this report, I do not know whether or not it will be possible for me to attend the convention. My illness is persistent and is very hard to cure.
There are some duties and functions which the convention confers upon Supreme Board Members only which can not be transferred to othtrs or pérformed by assistants like other various work in the Supreme Office can be. And ao I performed some of the duties in connection with the Treasurer's Office during my illness such as signing Annual Reports to the States and other similar duties. For a better understanding of the Supreme Board Officers' duties and responsibilities, I felt it necessary to mention this.
Let this brief report suffice. In case there is in my report anything that ia not clear enough and if it should be impotsible for me to attend the convention to explain, the remaining Supreme Board Members will be glad to furnish all the necessary information pertaining to my,office also.
Hoping that the merger and all other af foil's presented to the 12th Regular Convention will be concluded in the spirit of brotherly cooperation and for the benefit of both-Organizations, I close with Fraternal Greetings.	JOHN VOGRICH Supreme Treasurer.
It gives rfie pleasure to report that during thia period the editorial office of the SNPJ has had no particular "affairs", no real controversy not lawsuits with anyone. Of the latter there was only one threat, but since the party had no real foundations upon which to base the legal action, we ignored the situation and it automatically fell by the wayside.
Of oi^e more point I may make mention. On July l, 1937, there came into force the forty-hour week for all the executive officers of the Supreme Office of the SNPJ. The personnel of the editorial offices, aa well as of the secretary's office in general, had these privileges as accorded them by the union which is recognized by the SNPJ. The forty-hour week is in forte for the editor also, but the difficulty comes in the fact that the editor constantly has so much work on hand that he cannot determine his working hours according to schedule if his work is to proceed as the obvious unwritten rules of any newspaper office require. And so it happens that the editor must work overtime; every Saturday morning, on which by right he is free, he works on an average of two hours and during this time he handles the Proaveta correspondence which has accumulated throughout the week. When it comes time every month to conclude the work on the Mladinski List he works on an average of one hour at home. Thus it is that this accumulation of overtime from July I, 1937, to July 1, 1941, haa amounted to 662 hours.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend to the convention that it accept a resolution which will i. it. i ate our former stand, that is, the principles of democracy, free-thought, and social justice; specifically, however, let it be emphasized that in the future the Supreme Board at ita regular meeting shall have the power to decide which labor candidates or candidates of a labor party the Proaveta shall support editorially and from the side of the contributors, during an election campaign.
(During the laat four-year period there was confuaion in this regard. The convention approved the support of those labor movements which would favor the establishments of an independent labor party; however, there was no action toward this goal. On the contrary, the existing labor parties became even more divided and the majority was agitating for the candidatea of the New Deal. This should teach us that it is not practical for us to determine political policies for specific caaea for a period of four years; on the other hand that it is better that the convention delegate this duty to the Supreme Board, which will govern Itself in accordance with the existing conditions and needs.)
Further let it be specified that the Proaveta should not publish political controversies or disagreements which will be to the detriment of the official organ or of the organization, and that the decision as to what political question is harmful In thla respect should rest in the hands of the Supreme Board. This should be clearly defined ao that injustice will be done to neither the majority or the minority.
(Our official organ is the property of our organization and it must,, first of all, serve the interests of the organization. Factional politics must be a side issue with us. The members may freely discuss political, economic, social, and other questions in a constructive and objective manner. It is not to the best interests of the Society, however, that the members become embittered among themselves and then extend their disagreements Into the columns of the Society organ; neither la It advisable for the editors to fight over the issues of this or that political party, which has no meaning t6r the majority of our members. Such conflicts have the tendency to create demoralization in the organ and in the organization.)
IVAN MOLEK, editor of SNPJ publications.
Report and Recommendation» of the Editor of the Society Publications
Brothers Snd Sisters:.
At the eleventh regular convention of the SNPJ four years ago my report to the delegates made mention of the effecta of the severe and long American economic depression, which directly and indirectly affected our publications alao, and how we were combating the hardships during those years and also succeeded in overcoming those effects. Our trials at that time were economic, and these we overcame successfully.
In that which concerna Proaveta, we proceeded during the past four years in conditions similar to those which we were operating during the time of the last convention. There were no permanent formal changes. The editorial staff continues on the same plan as formerly, and the method of editorial work is unchanged. Technical improvements in Prosveta have occurred as the circumstances demanded.
In this period between conventions we have had two commemorative or jubilee issues of Prosveta. The first was issued on April, 1939, on the occasion of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the SNPJ, with a twelve-page supplement. The second was lasued last June with an eight-page supplement, to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the daily Proaveta. Both supplements were an innovation for the Society publications, and with the first we actually pioneered among all Slovene publlcationa in America—that is, the rotogravure type, such as only the large American dailies boast of in their Sunday supplements. The editing of both the supplementary Issues was made possible only through the favorable cooperation of the Supreme officers and of the regular and special contributors, to whom the editorial staff extends thanka.
The cooperation between the editorial office und the Supreme officers, as well as the lodge officials, has been favorable throughout this time.. _ Jferjgiggfe the Supreme President Is a regular contributor und wrijes ento1' th* adlllt department, the weekly paper to which they are entitled
Manager's Report
PRINTING AND PUBLISHING DEPARTMENT
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
After four years, we have again assembled here, St the 12th regular convention of the SNPJ, to present to our delegates reports and statistics about the operation and progress of the Society. My report shall be for the Publications (Prosveta and Mladinski List) and Printing Department. Varioua tables will show you our financial status anà progress, covering the period from January 1, 1937, to December 31, 104d.
PROSVETA:
At the time of the last convention, the weekly Prosveta waa being printed in 27,000 copies. Now it is printed In 29,000. In four years, therefore, the Society has gained about 2,000 members, bringing the total of membership in the adult department a* of December 31, 1940, to 38,496. These arc entitled to the weekly Prosveta. However, the weekly ia pub-liahd for 10,102 copies less, because the weeklies of 10,102 members are included in the subscriptions to the daily. With very /few exceptions, the I families take advantage of this opportunity; that is, when their children

a weekly column in the official Prosveta, as does Bro. Lotrich in the English section. The Supreme Secretary has submitted many informative articles both in (English and Slovene. Jacob Zupan, member of the finance committee, has contributed many worthwhile articlea, and a frequent contributor is alao the chairman of this committee—Matt Petrovič. Mihm llaivetihek, member of the auditing committee, haa for some time written a regular column, and Frank tturbich, member of the judicial committee, ia constantly represented by his contributions. Thus, the cooperation of the udministrative committee and the Supreme Board with the Editor has, in gtneral, been good. Credit should also be given the lodge secretaries and other members who contribute for their lodges, as well as the secretaries und other members of federations, for their prompt contributions of lodge und othei* matters—in general, for good cooperation with the editorial staff of the Society's publications.
The majority of our old contributors and reporters of "local news" is still with Proaveta, but there have also appeared new onea. Much to our sorrow the number of our regular contributors is diminishing year by year; many have passed away and others are no longer able to read because of failing eyesight. On the other hand, the number of Engliah contributors has increased and the new generation is taking up where the old leavas off. With the flare-up of war in Europe we loat all our reporters und contributors in the old country. In their stead we now have an excellent Slovene woman reporter from London, who voluntarily submitted her reports and has continued to do so regularly.
X» customarily, since Prosveta has been first issued, there were alao diking this between-convention period a number of disagreements between the editorial office and the contributors—even public disagrcementa between the editors themselves. In the critical, extraordinary circumstances under which not only we, but also all uf America and the whole world i« living—under circumstances when old institutions and political parties full usunder, century-old values and principles are throttled, and democracy is waging u death ati uggle to survive—it is small wonder thut such disagreement* occur und we ran l>e thankful that they are not worse. It cun be reported that during tlx* last four years there were among us more conflicts of an ideological nature thun there were conflicts with our opponents outside of the Society. In my judgment, these inner conflicts, which now and then boiled over into public notice over matters of war and politic*, have had more good results than bud. for from these dis-agi e<«ment* wr learned much and taught each other inuny things of value.
The «-ditorial office welcomes all earnest and slncete criticism, but it rejects und invalidates ail personal Injections which aim at the exploitation of our by-laws und resolutions on the freedom of expression in our organ. In this respect the editorial »taff has proceeded logically and displayed no favoritism towards anyone.
la*t me at this point extend my gratitude to those contributors of Pro-sveta, sympathetic and critical, who with their cooperation made it poasl-lil«- that Proaveta has icmained the |x>pulur tribune for clarification of controversial subjects among our immigrant* in America. With thia the contributor* also sucoeasfully assured I'roavela'l role in being the most • Mo tive agltatoi (or the Slovene National Ik nefit Society, and as such it will it mam also tor thr future merged m saturation, which we are all hoping will become a reality. In the same measure, I extend thunks to all the tepoilei* of local n«-ws and hope that they will contribute in this capa« ity likcwiM- in the future

The Slovene und F.ngluih contributions are being alter-nati d the covets have Im «-n changed thi* year we brought about the innovation of their appeurance in color, the contcnt* and technical makeup »if the m u g a line have been changed With the inauguration of the "Our School contest, which was authorired by the eleventh regular convention m Cleveland and in which our Itoy* and girls of the juvenile depaitm«-ut tur cneisetically comix ting with their contributions of artl-cU and drawing th< Mladinski l.ut tixik a lug step forward In the train-Ing of <»ut younger generatkm It u true that all these change* have infii« trd additional financial burden* ttpon thr H«»cicty. hut in cttmparison to tin- Im refits derived, it is a «mail amount.

as adulTmembera, Ti TnHudedTnto "â iubscrlption to tturdafly. ~Tha tattfe Included in this report shows how many weeklies are included into da i Ilea.
The daily Prosveta, at the time of last convention, was printed in 5,000 copies. The amount now is approximately the same. From time to time wc get quite a number of new subscribers. In view of this, one wouldi think that we are steadily increasing the daily paper circulation, but that is not so. Most of the subscribers to the daily are outsold members, many of whom have lost sight or died in recent years. Thé circulation ia nevertheless more or less balanced. As manager of Prosveta for many years, I can honestly say that not three out of a thousand subscribers, discontinue subscriptions on account of Proaveta's policies and principles. Many of them, however, arc still either unemployed or earn ao little -that they cannot promptly renew the subscriptions. Usually they ask us to continue sending the paper, promising that they will pay at the first opportunity. Such requests sre always considered, though we are well aware of the fact that there Is very little hope or opportunity for old people as far as work Is concerned. Advertising Is definitely on the decline. It is increasingly difficult to obtain advertisements. This, of course, is due to the fact that advertising in a foreign language newspaper has very little value and is no longer profitable for the American busineaaman. On the other hand, the membership and subscribers are more or less benefited by this, as other reading matter is more Interesting.
Income from the daily, weekly and advertiaementa Is still sufficient enough to cover the expense, as you can convince yourself from the semiannual reports printed in the Prosveta. Becauae a good reserve has been set up in the beginning years, out investment Is stable, and there is no doubt in my mind that the daily Proaveta could not cxiat for some time to come. We cannot, however, expect profita in the printing department, because the newspaper is printed at the lowest possible cost.
I should u i.ho like to mention, that at the time of the last convention, 12,681 members included their weeklies into daily subscriptions, compared to the 14,873 ut the present. Almost 2,000 more, which means at least 12.000 00 less income on daily subscriptions. From thia, it Is evidont that the parents, us soon as their children are admitted into the adult department, include their weeklies Into the daily subscription. This absolutely Accounts for the upkeep of the daily Prosveta.
The number of help in both, the publlcationa and printing department, is still the sume as at the time of the last convention. Only one person, since then, hus voluntarily left our employ and he has been replaced. Their working day ia eight hours or forty hours per week, and all belong to the United Office and Professional Workers Union—CIO.
MLADINSKI LIST:
Our juvenile members' magazine ia now printed in 7,800 copies, s few hundred more than four years ago. It's monthly distribution is anxioualy welcomed hy the juveniles. The older people alao find It interesting. Though the magazine itself ia constantly Improving, the one marked change and improvement has been mode only recently. It is the tri-oolored illustration on the front cover page. The comments of the Mladinski List readers prove that they are indeed very pleaaed with the magasine.
PH INTERY:
There were no noteworthy changes in the printing department for the last four year*. No great profit haa lieen made, inaamuch as we have adhered to the decision of the convention prior to the lost. This decision provided for printing of Prosveta at a coat so low that It juat covers the expense for printing and material. Whenever our operation shows profit at the regular accounting periods, it Is usually used for covering the expenses of Pioaveta and publications department in general. For further details on our financial standing and operation, you can aee the report. Our espemun. have bee« me greater due to the Increase in price ot printing material« and paper. The two expenaes which we did not hove to consider ot the time of the lost convention, ore the &jcial Security and the I'nemployment Compensation Tax. From January 1, 1937, to December 31,1940. $2. ISO 00 for Unemployment Compenootlon and $786.29 for Social Security, toud of 12.916 29 was paid for Proaveta's employees, while Printery paid 13.03446 for Unemployment Compenootlon. 61.188 91 tor Social Security, the total of $4.802 40 The amount paid by both department* loi these taxes totals $7.710 «9 This, of course, means additional expense and leao profit m 1938. according to the supreme board's decision, the total amount of $10.000. $6.000 from Prosveta and $6.000 from Printery was transfer rr<| to the General Fund of the Society.
This. I think concludes my report to the convention. 1 shall be avalla» ble for further explanation^ if necessary.
TODAY, as always, the American Rod Cross is on the front lines of the Nation's defense. Its biggest job for the emergency is linking Uncle Sam's soldiers andsailors to the home front.
