Tekom leta 1939 je bilo ustanovljeno eno novo društvo, an- | gleško poslujoče društvo “Sentinels” št. 236, v Strabane, Pa. V j isti dobi so prenehala poslovati štiri društva; št. 104 se je združila ji št. 70, St. 195 je pristopila k št. 44, št. 161-pristopila k j št. 149 in št. 119 se je združila s št. 81. Z dnem 31. decembra je j Jednota štela 186 društev.
V odrasli oddelek Jednote je tekom leta 1939 pristopilo j 1051 članov, v mladinskega pa 1897, skupaj 2948 članov in članic, j
Dne 31. decembra 1938 je štela Jednota v odraslem oddelku 14312 članov ,v mladinskem pa 8141. skupaj 22453 članov in članic.
Dne 31. decembra 1939 je Jednota štela v odraslem oddelku 14878 članov, v mladinskem pa 8927, skupaj 23805 članov in članic.
Na podaljšani zavarovalnini (extended insurance) se je dne 31. decembra 1938 nahajalo 277 članov, 31. decembra 1939 pa 283.
V odraslem oddelku je tekom leta 1938 umrlo 140 članov, v mladinskem pa 13. Tekom leta 1939 je v odraslem oddelku umrlo 162 članov, v mladinskem pa 5.
V drugi polovici leta 1939 nismo imeli v mladinskem oddelku nobenega smrtnega slučaja.
Stroški tretje mladinske konvencije, ki se je vršila meseca avgusta 1939 so znašali $3,095.20, stroški druge atletične konference, ki se je obdržavala istotako v avgustu 1939, so pa znašali $2,015.93.
Tekom leta 1939 se je tudi izvršil redni pregled naših knjig in računov ter splošnega poslovanja naše Jednote, in sicer od zastopnika zavarovalninskega oddelka države Minnesote in od zastopnika zavarovalninskega oddelka države Ohio. Poročilo o rezultatu tozadevne revizije je bilo priobčeno v Novi Dobi dne 17. januarja 1940. Stroški pregleda, ki jih ima v smislu določb zakona plačati Jednota, so znašali $1,229.20.
Kot član in tajnik finančnega odseka sem vodil svoj urad v smislu pravil in navodil glavnega odbora in po svojem najbolj- : šem prepričanju. Isto so storili tudi ostali člani tega odseka. j
Prihodnjega septembra se bo vršila 16. redna konvencija naše Jednote. Predložil bom članstvu v razpravo gotove popravke in dodatke k obstoječim pravilom, ki so iz izkušenj, katere i sem imel tekom zadnjih treh let, potrebni, in ki so istočasno namenjeni, da zadostijo določbam zakonov v državah, kjer Jednota posluje.
Ker se bo, kot že rečeno, letos vršila 16. redna konvencija, in ker samo z denarnimi nagradami ne pridobivamo zadostnega števila novih članov, je priporočljivo, da razpišemo konvenčno člansko kampanjo, katere'namen naj bi bil, da se uspešne kon-testante poleg običajnih nagrad odlikuje s častnim delegatstvom na konvenciji. V zvezi s tem bom predložil načrt, ko pride to vprašanje na dnevni red. '
K sklepu se vsem glavnim odbornikom, kakor tudi društvenim uradnikom in uradnicam najtoplejše zahvaljujem za njih naklonjenost in prijazno sodelovanje tekom leta 1939.
Z bratskim pozdravom, <
Anton Zbašnik, glavni tajnik.
Poročilo glavnega tajnika se sprejme.

POROČILO GLAVNEGA BLAGAJNIKA
Dragi mi sobrat je glavni odborniki:
Sobrat Zbašnik, glavni tajnik, je ravnokar v podrobnostih poročal o finančnim stanju Jednote z dne 31. decembra 1939, za oba oddelka, zato ne smatram za potrebno ponavljati istih številk. S tajnikovim poročilom se docela strinjam.
Sledila bodo poročila glavnih nadzornikov, glede katerih upam, da so našli vse poslovanje v redu. Iz poročila je razvidno,

A C ar	htis	passed	and may we not forget the
A CSS th t took place during last year; many good things \rr^fm °ut to be of benefit for our Union. We had a very a°d I am sure that our Union is way ahead in ‘Ofy tba‘i in the past years; now that the year 1940 has

REPORT OF SUPREME MEDICAL EXAMINER
j The Supreme Board,
! South Slavonic Catholic Union,
Ely, Minn.
| Sirs and Brothers :—
As I have written to our Supreme Secretary, it was impossible for me to be at this meeting due to the amount of professional work at hand. However I am submitting my semi-annual report hoping that I will be excused for not being present at this meeting.
This report as usual will cover the work of my office for I the last six months of 1939. As has been the custom of this of- ; ! fice for years past all claims, applications and other papers were | acted upon as promptly as possible and the facts presented were j acted upon in accordance with the by-laws now in force in our 1 i Union.
The number of new applications or applications for increase ! i in insurance considered was three hundred seven (307). The I number of claims for maternity benefits was ninety live (95) or;
'twenty three (23) less than for the same period one year ago.] i The number of claims for operation and indemnity benefits pre- j 1 sented was one hundred thirty nine (139) or four more than the |
I same period of 1939. The number of claims for sick benefits and benefits from the disability fund considered was two thousand forty-four (2044) or five less than one year previous. This shows that there has not been much change in the amount of benefits j paid in 1939 when compared with the same period of 1938. This also shows that the general health of the membership is still j good when we consider that the general age may be higher. This ! also should indicate that there was again a substantial increase! in the balances of both the sick and indemnity fund and the din- j ability fund during the last six months of 1939.
Locally I attended the meetings of the Federation of lodges J of our Union in Western Pennsylvania. Although not the official! delegate to the annual meetings of the Pennsylvania Fraternal Congress, I attended the session since it was held in Pittsburgh There I received some valuable information of which the Supreme Secretary was informed and upon which he took immediate action. I am sure Mr. Anton Zbasnik will give you full details on this matter. During the past six months the correspondence with the Supreme Judiciary Committee was practically . negligible, indicating peace and harmony among the membership and also indicating the practicability of our present by-laws.
In conclusion I wish to thank the Supreme Board, the Supreme Judiciary Committee as well as all the local lodge officers for their splendid cooperation and good will. It is my sincere wish that this meeting again continue in the constructive progress of our South Slavonic Catholic Union.
Fraternally submitted,
F. J. Arch, Supreme Medical Examiner, i

POROČILO UREDNIKA-UPRAVNIFA NOVE DOBE
Glavnemu odboru JSKJ :—
Kampanja preteklega leta s sledečo mladinsko konvencijo i in atletično konferenco je prinesla znatno razgibanost med naše j članstvo v splošnem. To se je izražalo tudi v drugi polovici leta ! 1939 v živahnejšem dopisovanju, kar znači, da se članstvo bolj j in bolj zanima za svojo organizacijo. Glavni odborniki ste lahko opazili, da je bilo treba Novo Dobo izdajati na osmih straneh bolj pogosto kot običajno. Posebno naši mlajši člani odraslega in seveda tudi mladinskega oddelka so bili nenavadno aktivni v dopisovanju. Določeni dve strani Nove Dobe za angleško čtivo sta bili dostikrat premajhni. To je gotovo zelo razveseljiv pojav, ker kaže zanimanje mladine za našo in njeno organizacijo. Vsi vemo, da je bodoči napredek Jednote odvisen v glavnem od mladine. Ako bomo znali mladino pridobiti in jo v organizaciji obdržati, bomo napredovali.
V splošnem je treba priznati, da člani pri svojih dopisih upoštevajo pravila in smernice J. S. K. Jednote. Zato vlada med članstvom mir in bratsko razpoloženje. Urednik ni imel v preteklem polletju nikakih sporov z dopisniki in, če je kje nastal 1 kak majhen nesporazum, ga je bilo mogoče dogovorno porav-1 nati v obojestransko zadovoljstvo. Dobrohotno pismeno pojas-' nilo ali priporočilo od strani urednika je navadno vselej doseglo svoj namen. Urednik je skušal od svoje strani vsem po 1 najboljši možnosti ustreči in od članov v splošnem je bil deležen ,	(Dalje	na	2.	strani)
VSAK PO SVOJE
\
OBISKOVALCI . ; Obiskovalce imam rad. To se pravi, ne vseh in ne vselej, toda ! večinoma. Obiskovalci na splošno so dobrodošli vsak dan, z izjemo ponedeljka in torka. Ta dva dneva bi želel zapisati med postne dni z ozirom na obiskovalce. Posebno torek. Ta I dan je tako rekoč bilja pred te-I densko izdajo lista in mora biti ! do poldneva vse urejeno in pri-| rejeno glede gradiva za list in ; glede sprememb v naslovih. In pismonoše so po navadi zelo 1 radodarni s pošto ob ponedelj-I kih in torkih. V torek popoldne ! je treba zidati svinčene kolone | lista, loviti zadnje tiskarske ! škrate in opraviti sto drugih drobnih poslov, ki nimajo imen. Minute pa bežijo kot so svoje-časno laški junaki izpred Kobarida.
Ob torkih se torej obiskovalcev bojim le za spoznanje manj kot nahoda, flu in kuge na parkljih in gobcih. Ure so neizprosne in delavcev v tiskarni se ne sme pustiti čakati. Devetindevetdeset odstotkov mojega vsakoletnega mišidušanja gre na račun torkovih obiskovalcev.
Najbolj vesel sem obiskoval-jcev, ki pridejo iz drugih krajev, j morda iz oddaljenih držav, ter ; se gredoč oglasijo v uredništvu. Videti stare in nove prijatelje j« j vedno užitek. Poleg tega obisko-: valci iz drugih krajev vselej
i kalne atmosferi. Tako im obiskovalec iz Kansasa prinese od-
j sev sončnih rož, iz Minnesote šepet belih brez in sinjih jezer, iz Pennsylvanije idilo ljubkih I sotesk in razigranost piknikov,
| iz Wyominga zdravo vonjavo ; divjega žajblja, iz Colorada zanos mogočnih snežnikov in kri-j stalnih gora, iz Oregona in i Washingtona prelest žarnih vrtnic, iz Californije šepet palmo-! vih gajev in vrisk večne pomladi, itd. Taki obiski so na gotov i način podobni predvajanju lepih j zvočnih filmov.
Obiski različnih agentov pomenijo vselej izgubo časa in največkrat tudi izgubo dobre volje. Kakšen agent je vsiljiv kot brencelj. Ko se ga po dolgem otepanju iznebiš, opaziš z ! nevoljo, da je komaj do srede pripeljani članek na typewriter-ju skočil s tira. Od idej, ki so se prej tako lepo vžigale, ni ostalo niti tlečega ogorka, miselna nit, ki je prej tekla kot namazana, je pretrgana, in ne veš, kje bi iskal odtrgani konec, j Potem prihajajo kolektorji vseh mogočih barv, ki zbirajo prispevke za različne instituci-j je, za propagando in obrambo tega ali onega, v same plemeui-: te svrhe, seveda. Še najbolj po-jšten se mi je zdel rojak, ki je prišel in dejal, da ni lačen, toda j ga čudno zavija v trebuhu in da | vsled tega krvavo potrebuje 10 ali 15 centov za požirek rakije.
Vmes prihajajo prodajalci kravat, brivskih rezil, biksa, mo-! litvenikov, čebule in patentiranih medicin, kolektorji zavrženega papirja, zbiralci starih znamk, nabiralci oglasov in taki, ki zgrešijo prava vrata in se namesto k dohtarju ali dentistu j zaletijo v uredništvo.
S člani, ki prihajajo zaradi | sprememb v naslovih, po kake informacije ali po drugih poslih, ki se tičejo lista in or-
• ganizacije, ni nikoli sitnosti in
• jeze. Zdi se, da oni so edini, ki
• se v polni meri zavedajo, da i urednik-upravnik mora svoje de-i ! lo opraviti sam, in če z drugi-
(Daije na 4. strani)
urad, oglašal sem se s primernimi članki in črticami v Novi j Dobi, kar ste menda opazili od časa do časa. Pišem nekako iz j potrebe, ker čutim v sebi dolžnost napram našemu članstvu, od katerega sem dobil mnogo odobravanja in željo, da bi nadalje- | j val tudi v bodoče. Skušal bom po svojih danih močeh to vršiti |
! tudi v bodočnosti.
V konvenčnem letu moramo poskrbeti tudi za splošno ogla- j j sevanje naše Jednote. že dejstvo, da bodo naši društveni tajniki ! odškodovani za delo, ki je v zvezi z mladinskim oddelkom, nas mora voditi na nova pota, kjer bomo dosegali izboljšave, ki bodo , !oglašale našo organizacijo. Vsaka kampanja doseže nove ljudi, ki se seznanijo z našim delom, tako naj tudi naša predkonvenčna \ jkampanja presega preko vseh drugih naših kampanj.
Kot član finančnega odbora sem priporočal in glasoval za nakup tistih bondov, katere sem smatral za dobre in obresto- ; nosne.
Končno se zahvaljujem vsem za složno poslovanje v zadnjih šestih mesecih ter želim sedanjemu za,s..1 d ar. ju dosti plodonosnih 1 zaključkov.
j Z bratskim pozdravom,
Janko N. Rogelj, prvi glavni nadzornik JSKJ.

REPORT OF SECOND SUPREME TRUSTEE
To the Honorable Supreme Board of the S. S. C. U.:—
As a member of the Board of Trustees who participated in j the current semi-annual audit of the books and accounts of the Supreme Secretary, Supreme Treasurer and Editor-Manager of j “Nova Doba,” it. is my pleasant duty to report that everything was found correct, and that a substantial gain is shown in prac-i tically all Funds, despite the fact that several extraordinary expenditures, such as the installation of a new bookkeeping system, the Juvenile Convention and Athletic Conference, were met. Credit for this must be given to all concerned, but especially to the able management of our Supreme Secretary, brother Anton Zbas-nik, under whose administration and guidance our Union is making such unusually sound and satisfactory progress.
Prior to our arrival at the Home Office the investments were counted and checked at our Depository, the Northern National Bank in Duluth, Minn. The coupons for interest maturing up to September 12, 1940, were removed and entrusted to our Supreme Treasurer for collection.
Since our last audit a very practical new bookkeeping sys tern has bpen installed in the Home Office tinder the supervisior of Mr. Joseph H. Kolkmeyer, a thoioughly experienced account ant, formerly affiliated as an Examiner with the Ohio Insurant Department. Having previously on numerous occasions suggestec changes and revisions in our filing and accounting systems, as may be found by reference to my semi-annual reports as fa: back as six years ago, it affords me a great deal of satisfactior to see this so well accomplished. Since we are a sturdy, growing institution these changes will prove to have cumulative benefits all around.
A combined net financial gain of $192,131.20 is shown ii the Assets of our Adult and Juvenile Departments during th<
pa:.;t six months. Our Assets now exceed Two Million, Seven Hun dred Thousand Dollars and are fast approaching the Three Mil lion Dollar mark.
As a member of the Finance Committee my efforts hav<
: been directed at securing the best possible investments for ou: surplus funds in accordance with our by-laws and requirements
A complete report was made to our Supreme Secretary an< Chairman of our Board of Trustees in regard to the trip I mad* to Marion, 111., at the direction of our last Supreme Board meet jing. The matter was satisfactory concluded for our Union.
A more detailed verbal report will be made later during thi;
I session of the other duties assigned to me, all of which wer performed to the best of my ability.
Sincerely and Fraternally yours,
Frank E. Vranichar, 2nd Supreme Trustee

POROČILO TRETJEGA GLAVNEGA NADZORNIKA
Cenjeni mi glavni odborniki:
Dne 22. januarja smo se sešli na The Northern Nationa j banki v Duluthu, kjer ima Jednota shranjene svoje bonde. Tan |smo opravili svoje delo, kakor so poročali prejšnji odborniki : Dne 23. januarja smo pričeli s pregledovanjem knjig glavnegi ! tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in urednika-upravnika Nove Dobe
Sporočiti moram, da smo knjige omenjenih glavnih urad 11likov našli v dobrem in lepem redu.
Zadnjih šest mesecev sem vršil delo mojega urada, kakoi i mi narekujejo pravila, in vedno delal tako. kot mislim, da je moja dolžnost. Veseli me, da naša Jednota tako sijajno napreduje Za a uspeh se moramo zahvaliti našemu zavednemu in zvestemu ! članstvu.
| Dne 9. decembra sem se po sklepu glavnega odbora udeležil državnega bratskega kongresa v St. Paulu, Minn. O tem sem podal že moje poročilo v Novi Dobi.
želim, da bi to zasedanje glavnega odbora napravilo dobre zaključke. Pozabiti ne smemo, da sc v letošnjem letu vrši konvencija naše Jednote. Zato moramo iti na agitacijo, da pridobimo naši organizaciji dosti novih in zdravih članov.
Koncem mojega skromnega poročila se prav lepo zahvaljujem celoskupnemu glavnemu odboru za složno sodelovanje, ki je bilo v korist naše Jugoslovanske katoliške jednote.
Z bratskim pozdravom,
Mati Anzelc. tretji glavni nadzornik JSKJ.

REPORT OF FOURTH SUPREME TRUSTEE To the Supreme Board of the SSCU:—
Gentlemen:
In accordance with our Constitution and By-Laws, I, together with the rest of the members of the Board of Trustees and the Supreme Treasurer met on January 22, 1940 at the Northern National Bank in Duluth, Minn. As our prescribed duty we carefully examined and counted all bond certificates stored in the five safety deposit boxes kepL in the great vaults of the Northern National Bank. We also cut coupons for the interest falling at this lime or perhaps in the near future. All coupons were then turned over to our Supreme Treasurer. As a result of our examination, I am pleased to state that the bank’s list of our bond certificates was identical with ours. Every thing checked out wtl!
Further complying with our Constitution and by-laws, wej came to the Home Office for the purpose of examining the books I and accounts of our Supreme Secretary, Supreme Treasurer and! that of our Editor-Manager. During our examination, we carefully examined all incomes and expenditures of our Union. Every j thing was checked. As a result of our examination, I am proud I to state that our Union is certainly getting prosperous, more and more. I vouch that the papers disposed to' the general public! showing our Union’s business as of December 31st is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
In the past six months a more modernized system of bookkeeping was also accredited to our Union. Upon the new system I must comment, that it possesses the advantage not only of assembling more complete information of our Union’s business but also provides a better check on the mathematical accuracy of the clerical work.
As a member of the finance committee, I continued to use my very best judgement when selecting bond offerings for consideration when investing our Union’s surplus.
As to the correspondence with the Home Office, 1 considered carefully every letter I received and made a reply as soon as possible.
In conclusion therefore, I wish to thank you members of the Supreme Board for the good cooperation, which meant progress to our Union, and I hope that the same spirit of cooperation shall exist in the future.
Fraternally submitted,
Andrew Milavec, Jr., 4th Supreme Trustee.

slične bratske naklonjenosti. Dela je včasih čez glavo, toda če urednik-upravnik vidi blagohotno upoštevanje od strani član- j stva, so vse težkoče olajšane in pozabljene.
Delo z naslovnikom in drugi posli upravništva se z nara- ; ščajočim številom članstva večajo, kar je samoumevno. Vseka-\ kor skuša biti upravnik tudi pri teh poslih točen, kolikor je v : razmerah mogoče. Zato tudi v teh ozirih ni bilo od strani član- ; stva nikakih resnih pritožb.
Oglasi se v splošnem točno plačujejo. V preteklem polletju je bila za oglase in za naročnine nečlanov poslana glavnemu blagajniku vsota $221.98. Konci preteklega leta je bilo dolgovano Novi Dobi na oglasih $164,45; večji del'te vsote pa je bil j poravnan že v letošnjem januarju.
Nova Doba se tiska v približno 14,000 iztisih tedensko. Tis-1 kar na “Enakopravnosti,” kjer se list tiska, nam daje v vseh ozi- i l ih dobro in točno postrežbo.	|
K zaključku naj *1)0 omenjeno, da je bil urednik-upravnik ' deležen prijaznega in točnega sodelovanja od glavnega urada in od vseh glavnih in porotnih odbornikov, s katerimi je bil v kakršnih koli osebnih ali pismenih stikih. Pravega bratskega sodelovanja in naklonjenosti je bil deležen tudi od društvenih j uradnikov ter od dopisnikov v splošnem. Za to želi izraziti na ! tem mestu iskreno zahvalo vsem!

POROČILO PREDSEDNIKA GLAVNEGA NADZORNEGA
ODBORA
Cenjeni souradniki:
Kot predsednik glavnega nadzornega odbora Vam vljudno sporočam, da smo pričeli s pregledovanjem jednotinega premoženja, kakor sledi:
V ponedeljek, dne 22. januarja, ob deveti uri zjutraj, smo se ustavili na The Northern National banki v Duluthu, Minn., kjer ima naša Jednota shranjene vse vrednostne listine. Pregledali in prešteli smo vse jednotine bonde ter od njih odrezali vse vrednostne kupone, kateri dozorijo v prihodnjih osmih mesecih. Iste smo izročili glavnemu blagajniku, da jih ob času do-zoritve vnovči.
Iz varnostnih shramb na banki snu vzeli bonde, kateri bodo izplačljivi ali zamenjani, kakor sledi: City of Beresford, S. D. Water Works Bonds, $8,000.00; Crow Wing County, Minn., Refunding Bonds, Series P>, $500.00; Detroit, Mich., Water Bond, $1,000.00; Glencoe Park District, Cook County, 111.; $3,000.00; Liberty County, Texas Road, $12,000.00; in Indiana Electric Corp., First Mortgage Gold Bonds, $10,000.00.
S pregledovanjem knjig in računov v glavnem uradu smo pričeli dne 23. januarja ob deveti uri zjutraj. Pregledali smo vse knjige glavnega tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in nrednika-upravnika Nove Dobe. Z zadovoljstvom in veseljem Vam sporočam, da smo proiiašli vse poslovanje in račune prejeomerijenih uradnikov v dobrem in lepem stanju. Zatorej priporočam glavnim odbornikom, da račune sprejmete, kakor so bili predloženi po glavnem tajniku in glavnem blagajniku.
Zadnjih šest mesecev sem bil pooblaščen od Vas, da bi zastopal Jednoto na prireditvah in praznovanju raznih jubilejev. Obžalujem, ker se nisem mogel udeležiti. Vselej sem obvestil mojega namestnika, da je on mesto mene zastopal Jednoto.
Ker se Jednota vedno veča v članstvu in premoženju, je bilo precej dopisovanja v zadnjih šestih mesecih z glavnim tajništvom in ostalimi glavnimi odborniki.Skušal sem vso korespondenco točno odgovoriti, istotako sem bil ,jaz deležen točnosti od prizadetih, zakar jim izrekam iskreno zahvalo.
Kot član finančnega odbora sem vedno priporočal in glasoval za bonde, kateri so bili najbolj koristni za našo Jednoto.
Pri pregledovanju porodnih nagrad našim članicam-mate-ram sem opazil, da so bile izplačane samo nagrade materam, a nagrada, ki jo sprejme otrok, če pristopi v našo organizacijo, ni bila izplačana. To se pravi: Matere niso vpisale novorojenčke v Jednoto. Zato bi opozarjal naše društvene tajnike, da bi nagovorili enake matere, da vpišejo svoje malčke v našo Jednoto, da bodo deležne predpisane nagrade, s katero lahko plačajo precej asesmentov, zakar je njih otrok zavarovan v slučaju smrti.
Z bratskim pozdravom,
John Kumse, predsednik glavnega nadzornega odbora.
Poročilo predsednika gl. nadzornega odbora se sprejme.

POROČILA PRVEGA GLAVNEGA NADZORNIKA
Dragi mi glavni odborniki:
Strinjam se s poročilom predsednika glavnega nadzornega odbora, da smo dne 22. januarja pregledali jednotino premoženje na The Northern National banki v Duluthu, Minn. Odrezali smo vse dozorele kupone od vseh bondov, katere bo potreba vnovčiti do našega prihodnjega pregledovanja.
Na dan 23. jatuW.ja smo pričeli s pregledovanjem knjigovodstva in poslovanja glavnega tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in urednika Nove Dobe. Primerjali smo dohodke in izdatke med društvi in Jednoto, kakor tudi poslovanje s strankami, s katerimi posluje naša organizacija. Ugotovili smo, da njige soglašajo s poročili in s predloženimi računi. Našli smo knjigovodstvo v čistem in vzornem redu, zakar priporočam sprejem vseh predloženih računov.
V našem glavnem uradu je bilo vpeljano novo knjigovodstvo, ki v vseh potrebah in ozirih odgovarja in soglaša s sodobnimi zahtevami modernega poslovanja bratske podporne organizacije. Dvostavno knjigovodstvo v glavnem uradu je bila naša nadvse potrebna preureditev, ki omejuje zastarele metode poslovanja ter v splošnem kaže poslovanje bolj lahko umljivo, točno in razločno. S porastom naše organizacije je prišlo tudi pomnoženo poslovanje, katerega sedaj novo knjigovodstvo nadkriljuje in zavzema tako, da omejuje delo, katerega je zahteval stari sistem knjigovodstva v glavnem uradu.
V zadnjih šestih mesecih me je glavni odbor poslal na društveno proslavo v Ches^wick, Pa., na zasedanje državnega bratskega kongresa v Akron, Ohio, in na proslavo Slovenske delavska dvorane na Prince Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. O tem sem poro-
1 v Novi Dobi. Udeleževal sem se društvenih prireditev' naših društev v Clevelandu, kakor tudi sej ohajske federacije.
Poleg mojega običajnemu dela. katerega predpisuje moj i
To the Officers of the SSCU Supreme Board:
Both the juvenile and the adult English-speaking members have shown marked attention to our SSCU during the last six months of the year 1939, as a result of the third biennial juvenile convention and second athletic conference held in Ely, Minnesota last August.
While the juveniles did write a great deal since the first juvenile convention made SSCU history in 1935, it appears to me that last year the juniors wrote considerably more for the Nova Doba; and particularly so, the delegates after returning home from the convention. Personal contacts on the train and duiing their stay in Minnesota’s vacationland stirred any number to contribute more articles to a point where the juveniles apologize for not writing oftener.
The regular English section profited from the second athletic conference with several delegates reporting many interesting facts on the conference and their stay in Ely.
Of greatest importance to our Union perhaps are the links of young delegates situated in various states connected to form an unbroken chain of fellowship. No longer do our lodges appear as abstract/ numbers to our delegates, for last August the blanches represented in Ely came to life as persons who formed permanent friendships.
And our SSCU is the magnetic force which attracted the delegates to the juvenile convention and athletic conference; in turn these young people are fast becoming staunch supporters of their lodges !and the Union.
This bond of delegate-made-friendship is spreading to other members, and an observer will notice this influence in the many contributing articles to both the juvenile section and the regular English section of our official organ.
Softball and bowling featured the athletic activities engaged in by some of our SSCU lodges during the last half of 1939. In Ohio, seven ST5CU branches played some three months of softball, and in the elimination series Cardinals lodge, 229, of Struthers, O., rightfully earned the title of Ohio State SSCU Softball Champion. Gold belt buckles and silver softballs were awarded the champions and runner-up team, the Collinwood Boosters, 188, Cleveland, O.. as prizes by our Organization.
In the state of Pennsylvania three of our lodges sponsored softball teams, and a regular schedule of games for the year 1940 is anticipated.
Although some of our lodges already have bowling teams entered in competition, many more are expected to participate in this indoor sport soon. Several lodges are pointing to this year’s national SSCU tenpin and duclcpin tournaments, which are sponsored annually by our Organization.
This concludes my report for the last six months of 1939.
Louis M. Kolar, English Editor and Athletic Commissioner.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL JUVENILE
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE ! ’ '
Members of the Supreme Board ' South Slavonic Catholic Union of America Ely, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
Following is a report of activities from Uncle Stan, better ! known to members of the SSCU as “Little Stan,” and who«e real i name is Stanley Pechaver. This report covers publicity work in 'Nova Doba during the six months of 1939 and the first part of 1940 and it also contains a sort of prediction for 1940.
During the past six months I have continued writing Inspirational articles for our official organ, always with the view in mind to generally maintain the interest of our members in our organization. Particularly have 1 tried to keep up the interest of the juvenile members—even though 1 thought that becoming an “Uncle” might change matters. But evidently from all appearances, the “Uncle” was accepted wholeheartedly by every-I one.
At any rate, throughout the last six months I have continually strivfed to write in a style that would keep up the interest and enthusiasm of our members in our organization.
Personal correspondence, weekly press conference with our supreme secretary, and other means were used to gain material which would all add to interesting, humorous, articles.
Last year our Third Biennial Juvenile Convention and Athletic Conference was a grand success. It was then that I started a “Juvenile Honor Roll” for our juvenile newspapermen and women. Those who contributed to the page regularly would get their names i» the honor roll. But ihis idea had to be abandoned

Ik
štev in slične javne prostore. Pismo se vzame na znanje s pripombo, da se bo skušalo želji društva ugoditi.
Društvo št. 37 tudi izraža željo, da naj bi se ne zahtevalo bolniških obiskovalcev za bolnike, ki so neozdravljivo bolni. Po pravilih, ki so sedaj v veljavi, glavni odbor v tej zadevi ne more dovoljevati nikakih izjem. Izpremembo zamore napraviti le konvencija. Sicer je pa bratstvo obiskovati bolne člane, četudi se ni bati, da bi isti simulirali ali kršili pravila.
John Kromar, član društva št. 37, ki je v potrebi, prosi za kako izredno podporo. Lani mu je bila nakazana izredna podpora v znesku šestmesečnega asesmenta. Sklenjeno, da se mu plača,/asesment še za 6 mesecev.
Jacob Požar, član društva št. 37, star 57 let, brezposeln in v potrebi, prosi za izredno podporo. Sklenjeno, da se plača zanj asesment za 6 mesecev.
Glavni tajnik predloži obširno korespondenco med glavnim uradom in tajnikom društva št. 40, iz katere je možno povzeti, da je poslovanje omenjenega društvenega tajnika v mnogih ozirih površno, neredno in pomanjkljivo, kar logično zadržuje delo in točnost glavnega urada. Glavni odbor apelira na tajnika društva št. 40 naj skuša biti v bodoče bolj natančen in točen v poslovanju, da ne nastanejo večje neprilike in morda nepotrebni stroški za Jednoto.
Uršula Vidic, članica društva št. 42, stara 71 let in brez sredstev, prosi za nekaj izredne podpore. Se sklene plačati zanjo asesment za šest mesecev.
Anna Kostelic, dolgoletna članica društva št. 52, je bila operirana, pa po pra'vilih ni upravičena do operacijske podpore, zato prosi za kakšno izredno podporo. Se sklene, da se plača zanjo asesment za 6 mesecev.
John Petrič, član društva št. 66, ki je bil operiran na očesu, želi dobiti kako podporo, na podlagi osebnega pi3ma, brez zdravniških listin, ki so v tako svrho potrebne in zahtevane. Glavni odbor želji omenjenega člana ne more ugoditi.
Joseph Rožič, član društva št. 66, se je moral podvreči operaciji, za kakršno naša pravila ne določajo operacijske podpore. Operacija, ki je bila uspešna, ga je stala veliko vsotb denarja, zato prosi za nekaj izredne podpore. Se mu nakaže $25.00 izredne podpore na podlagi točke 307 naših pravil.
Anton Krištof, član društva št. 71, ki je neozdravljiv in želi odpotovati v stari kraj, prosi za nekako odpravnino. V smislu sedanjih pravil se takih odpravnin ne more izplačevati. Z ozirom na zadevo se naroči glavnemu tajniku, da se drži dosedanjih navodil za slične slučaje in da pismeno obvesti društvenega tajnika, kaj se more storiti za prosilca.
V zadevi Josepha Agniča, člana društva št. 71, se sklene, da se njegova nakaznica za operacijsko podporo ponovno pošlje v pregled in presojo vrhovnemu zdravniku.
John Debeljak, član društva št. 71, je bil poškodovan v času, ko je bil suspendiran, in je v smislu pravil izgubil pravico do bolniške podpore za čas zdravljenja dotične poškodbe. Rekord člana dokazuje, da je bil že večkrat prej suspendiran, vselej brez slabih posledic. Ker pa je to prvi tak sdučaj, odkar so v veljavi sedanja pravila, in ker je omenjeni član prejel še zelo malo bolniške podpore, se mu v svrho male olajšave nakaže $35.00 izredne podpore.
Druga seja zaključena ob pol šestih zvečer.

Prečita se pismo od tajnika Slovenskega narodnega muzeja v S. N. Domu v Clevelandu, Ohio. Pismo vsebuje zahvalo za naklonjene predmete in prošnjo za nadaljno naklonjenost, tako od strani glasila kot v drugih ozirih. Pismo se vzame na znanje s pripombo, da glavni odbor smatra omenjeno ustanovo za dobro in času primerno ter zato tudi od strani naše organizacije za priporočljivo. Finančne podpore gl. odbor ne more nakazati; v tako svrho bi moral.imeti dovoljenje konvencije.
Pismo “Cankarjevega Glasnika,” ki se priporoča za oglase, se vzame na znanje.
V zadevi nekih vprašanj od strani Slovenskih domov glede oglasov na zastorih, se sklene ostati pri prejšnjem sklepu, namreč, da Jednota takih oglasov ne bo več obnavljala.
Glavni tajfiik poroča, da je Jednota dobila od zavarovalnin-skega departmenta države Minnesote dovoljenje, da prenese del prebitka smrtninskega sklada mladinskega oddelka v stroškovni sklad istega oddelka. Poročilo se vzame z zadovoljstvom na znanje.
Glavni tajnik je pooblaščen, da se meseca februarja udeleži zimskega zasedanja N. F. C. v Chicagu. Obenem mu je naročeno, da pri tisti priliki aranžira sestanek z zavarovalninskim komisarjem države Wisconsin v zadevi nabave licence.
Prečitano je pismo od glavnega tajnika SSPZ, vsebujoče vprašanje, da-li je glavni odbor JSKJ pripravljen stopiti v stike z glavnim odborom SSPZ v svrho razgovorov o načrtih glede združitve teh dveh organizacij. Glavni odbor sklene, da se na o-menjeno vprašanje bratske SSPZ odgovori pritrdilno. Razgovori naj bi se pričeli enkrat potem, ko bosta obe organizaciji poslali svoja poročila na države. Za JSKJ se teh razgovorov udeležuje odsek treh glavnih odbornikov, katerega tvorijo: Anton Zbašnik, Janko N. Rogelj in Frank E. Vranichar. Tajnik tega odseka je Janko N. Rogelj. Glavni odbor JSKJ meni, da bi se ti razgovori lahko pričeli enkrat začetkom aprila. Prizadeti naj se medsebojno dogovorijo glede kraja in datuma za sestanek.
Prečita se pismo od Mr. Zvonka Novaka, avtorja novega Slovensko-angleškega in angleško-slovenskega besednjaka, ki i-šče finančnih sredstev za založbo omenjene knjige. Po njegovem mnenju naj bi JSKJ prispevala ali kreditirala $1,200.00 v to svrho. Glavni odbor je mnenja, da je omenjeno književno delo dobro in slovenski javnosti potrebno, toda nima oblasti razpolagati s financo v take svrhe. Zadeva naj se predloži prihodnji konvenciji JSKJ, ki se bo vršila letos, in glavni odbor bo pripravljen stvar priporočati.
Urednik Nove Dobe želi izvedeti mnenje glavnega odbora v zadevi oglašanja tako zvanega “slovenskega dne” v Pennsylva-niji, glede katerega se vzdržujejo trditve, da skriva politično o-zadje in osebne ambicije posameznikov. Ako so dotične trditve resnične ali vsaj deloma resnične, potem bi bilo proti pravilom vsako oglaševanje omenjenega “dneva” v našem glasilu. Ako pa so omenjene trditve brez podlage, priobčevanje dopisov o “slovenskem dnevu” ne bi bilo proti pravilom. — O zadevi se razvije obširna debata, katere zaključek je bil naročilo, da naj urednik Nove Dobe ne priobčuje dopisov o “slovenskem dnevu.” Po raznih okoliščinah se more precej verjetno sklepati, da utegne biti za lepo donečim imenom dotične ustanove nekaj političnega ozadja. Glavni odbor je v dvbmu in želi biti na varni strani v svrho čuvanja nepolitične smernice naše Jednote in njenega glasila. — Razume se, da ima vsak član JSKJ kot privatnik popolno pravico pripadati kateri koli politični ali drugačni stranki ter se udeleževati shodov in prireditev katere koli so po njegovem okusu. Nikogai’ se k temu ne nagovarja in nikogar se ne odgovarja. Nikakor pa posamezni člani niso pooblaščeni, da bi nastopali v i-menu ali kot reprezentanti naših društev in naše Jedrfote, če obstaja možnost, da bi s tem podpirali kake ambicije političnega značaja. — Glavni odbor k svojemu gori omenjenemu skl.epu tudi dostavlja, da če bo bližajoča se konvencija JSKJ glede ozadja “slovenskega dneva” drugačnega mnenja, bo lahko ukrep glavnega odbora spremenila ali ukinila. S tem bo glavni odbor razrešen zadevne odgovornosti. — Naši člani so po ogromni večini svoji Jednoti lojalni, pošteni in iskreno misleči, toda nimajo vpogleda v marsikaj, kar vidi in mora videti glavni odbor, katerega dolžnost je braniti dobro ime Jednote. Tako ne vedo, na primer, da je bila naša Jednota zatožena pri Diesovem kongresnem odboru v Washingtonu, da je “komunistična,” in jo je moral glavni odbor z dokumentarnimi dokazi predstaviti za tako kot je, namreč kot strogo nepolitično bratsko podporno organizacijo. Do tega je prišlo, ker je neka navidezno nedolžna, v resnici pa radikalna skupina rabila poleg drugih tudi ime naše Jednote za svojo reklamo, in to brez naše vednosti in našega dovoljenja. Z ozirom na ta slučaj je glavni odbor upravičen imeti pomisleke na-pram skupinam, katerih ozadje mu ni povsem jasno. Ugled in

DOPISI
(Nadaljevanje z 2. strani)
Rockdale, III. — članstvu društva Vit. sv. Mihaela, št. 92 JSKJ, kateremu še ni znano, sporočam, da je bil za leto 1940 izvoljen ves stari društveni odbor. Tako sem tudi podpisani še zanaprej tajnik tega društva.
Pri tej priliki opozarjam članstvo, da bom sprejemal asesmente na društvenih sejah, ki se vršijo vsako tretjo nedeljo v mesecu, in pa vsako tretjo soboto v mesecu od pol šeste (5.30) do 7. ure zvečer na domu. Ne bom pa sprejemal asesmentov, kadar bi se kateremu članu zljubilo. Biti mora nekak red, kajti tajnik vendar ne more biti vsak trenutek na razpolago članstvu. Vsi člani in članice naj upoštevajo gornje obvestilo in naj plačajo svoje asesmente ob določenem času. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 92 JSKJ :
Louis Urbančič, tajnik.
Auburn, III. — Društvo “Naprednost,” št. 158 JSKJ, je na svoji januarski seji sklenilo, da člani plačajo z asesmentom v februarju po 50 centov društvene naklade. Društvena blagajna je prazna, nekaj izdatkov za društvo je pa vedno, za poštnino in druge stroške, torej je treba imeti nekaj gotovine na rokah. Tajnik ne more za nikogar zakladati, torej naj člani skrbijo, da bodo imeli svoje društvene prispevke plačane pravočasno. Bratski, pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 158 JSKJ :
Joseph Lapanja, tajnik.
Brooklyn, N. Y. — Pred redno januarsko sejo društva Sv. Petra, št. 50 JSKJ, sem se udeležil pregledovanja knjig in računov. Mraz je bilo kot na Finskem, toda, ko sem prišel v Slovenski dom, sta me tajnik in blagajnik že čakala. Par minut nato so prišli tudi društveni nadzorniki, resnih iz rdečih o-brazov. ReSnost jedila na račun važnega dela, rdečica pa na račun občutne zime. Potem so se lotili resnega dela vsi, katerih se je tikalo, in reči moram, da jih je bilo prijetno poslušati.
Medtem so začeli prihajati drugi člani za sejo. Udeležba je bila lepa in članom je treba dali kredit za njihovo požrtvovalnost. V takem mrazu namreč ni zabava hoditi na seje. Mislim, da se spodobi tudi omeniti požrtvovalnost naših odbornikov, prejšnjega predsednika, tajnika, blagajnika in nadzornike, kako so prispevali lansko leto za pi-iliko proslave naše 35-letniee. Njim, kakor tudi drugim članom, je treba dati priznanje za njihovo požrtvovalnost pri tisti priliki. In naši novi nadzorniki so na letni seji prevzeli svoja mesta brezplačno. Naj bo izraženo priznanje vsem, ki se žrtvujejo za korist društva.
Seja se je vršila v lepem i-e-du. Naša zapisnikarica F. O., dasi tu rojena, je čitala zapisnik v lepi slovenščini, da jo je bilo kar prijetno poslušati. Tajnik je bil bolj resen, ko je poročal o financi za preteklo leto; vsekakor smo njegovo poročilo vzeli z veseljem na znanje. Bolj žalostno je bilo poročilo o tistih članih, ki dolgujejo društvu na asesmentih. Tisti, katerih se tiče, naj bi bili v bodoče bolj točni z ozirom na svoje obveznosti na-pram društvu. Naš tajnik je včasih predober v tem oziru. Pred zaključkom seje smo sklenili, da priredimo enkrat v kratkem družinski večer, da našo blagajno nekoliko na noge spravimo. Podrobnosti bo že tajnik pravočasno naznanil. Ako ta prireditev dobro izpade, morda še enkrat poleti kaj priredimo, toda o tem bomo sklepali pozneje. Za enkrat je važno, da se člani in članice udeležijo družinskega večera in da pripeljejo s seboj tudi svoje prijatelje. Vstopnina bo prostovoljna.

mi posli zamudi uro, jo mora pač nadomestiti zvečer ali ob nedeljah. Vedo, da če bi pustil eno samo kolono prazno v listu, bi ga kritiziralo 14,000 njegovih delodajalcev. Kritika, pravijo, da je zdrava, toda revež je, kdor mora pogostoma piti take medicine.	|
Najbolj številni obiskovalci j med vsemi pa so prodajalci list- j kov za razna srečkanja. Pro-! j dajajo srečke za namizne prti- j 1 če, za likalnike, za blazine, za j : pralne stroje, za harmonike, za S ; purane, za šunke, za pasje šta- j | lice itd. Take srečke so običajno i : po 10 centov in prodajajo jih j : navadno male deklice, ki so pre- | pričane, da vršijo plemenito de- | lo za narod in domovino. Deset i | centov ni dosti, toda večkrat | pomnožene desetice nanesejo do- | larje in z dolarji se ne more | šariti kar tako. Poleg tega je | pa vsako srečkanje po federal- | nih postavah prepovedano, ker1 | spada v kategorijo loterij. Fe-; 1 deralne postave pa vsak pošten državljan spoštuje in izpolnuje. Saj vsi vemo, kako vestno smo ; ua primer izpojnovali federalno ; prohibicijsko postavo, dokler smo jo imeli! Postava je zahtevala in mi smo mesto vina, piva in rakije pokorno žlampali near beer, kokakolo, mleko, siratko in kamilčji čaj! Ko je bila pro-hibicijska postava ukinjena, smo j pa spet zabredli v nelepe stare ^ razvade.
Mali prodajalki srečk torej t svečano izjavim, da bi bilo za dobrega državljana nečastno, če bi kršil postave Zedinjenih držav a-nakupovanjem prepovedanih srečk. Da pa njena pot ni . čisto zastonj, ji stisnem v drobno ročico nikelj, z navodilom, i da si zanj kupi zase pest slad- i : korčkov ali pa rožiček sladoleda, ker je pi idna deklica. Pri j , tem je kar nebeški užitek opa-, zovati, kako se borijo razočara- j nje, začudenje in veselje v tistih velikih otroških očeh.*	i;
Tako in slično je z obiskoval- j ci. Nekateri so dobrodošli kot rože v maju, z nekaterimi ima I človek nekaj nedolžne. zabave, i nekateri pa so pravi — pain in . the neck!

koristi naše Jednote mora naš glavni odbor vedno v prvi vrsti u-poštevati in braniti. Vse ostale člane pa glavni odbor prosi, da mu gredo v tem oziru na roke. Dobro ime naše Jednote je predragoceno, da bi ga posojali v neznane ali sumljive namene.
Urednik poroča, da je za mesto urednika angleških strani j Nove Dobe prejel samo eno aplikacijo, in sicer od dosedanjega urednika angleške sekcije, sobrata L. M. Kolar ja; glavni odbor j omenjenega potrdi na dosedanjem mestu za leto 1940.

Glavni tajnik predloži varščine ali bonde za glavne in porotne odbornike ter za odbornike krajevnih društev. Bondi so pronajdeni v redu in se oddajo v varstvo v smislu pravil.
Ker je blagajna mladinskega oddelka v ugodnem stanju in ker letos ne bo izdatkov za mladinsko konvencijo, se sklene opustiti dva letošnja mladinska a3esmenta. In sicer bosta suspendirana asesmenta mladinskih članov za meseca avgust in sentum-ber.
Na razpravo pridejo konvenčne zadeve. Konvencija se vrši v Slovenskem narodnem domu v Waukeganu, 111., in se prične 23. septembra 1940. Jednotini predkonvenčni računi se zaključijo 30. junija 1940.

for value received. The statesman, the author, the popular orator, all must pay for their privileges. The pay may be heavy tho intangible. Yet it is pay, nevertheless. The man who loves quiet study and solitude must pay for his seclusion in the loss of friendships and human associations. No one continues to seek the society of those who avoid them. Nor will they seek the company of one who gives them nothing. It must be always a reciprocal advantage. For every one is seeking his own advantage in some way. They will not continue to see one who gives them nothing. For friendship man must give friendship.
The recipient of charity must give friendship, for love he must give love. The recipient of charity must give much time and perhaps self respect. The poor relation is obliged to sacrifice something for favors received, usually independence.
Our SSCU has local lodges organized not only for, convenience sake to pay the regular monthly dues, but to instigate a fraternal spirit among its members. Some members are merely content with payment of dues. Others take special interest in lodge activities that keep them young at all times. It is a hobby with some. It is a pleasure to engage in lodge work, with the ones receiving the most that take the greatest active interest.
A member may be disappointed because he does not mingle with the brothers and sisters of our Union. Disappointed because he or she fails to do anything for the local unit, and expecting a lot in return.

Kent, 0. — Like the diamonds of a million dollar necklace slipping through the fingers of a great jeweler, the memories of the Convention last August linger in my memory. He treasures the necklace for it is priceless, I treasure the memories because they are unsurmountable and can never be sold or destroyed. The richest objects break and fade away, but memories linger on forever.
Last week when I left the halls of study at Kent and abandoned the worry of tests and once more joined my parents and sisters, I set to reminiscing. Strange but for a time I lived back in the middle of 1939 again. Just like a movie turning back the pages of time, I saw what had happened. I seemed to relive the expectations of the Convention. I could Fee my parents and friends working hard to secure new members for our organization. Then the closing date of the campaign drew near. Mother and dad put forth their last efforts to get enough people interested in the SSCU. How well I was a delegate to the Second A.thfetic Conference.
I can see myself mounting that train and speeding off hundreds of miles to a little city in the heart of the wooded north. Then came the band, shaking and new acquaintances. Friends who were made not to be forgotten. Not 'to be forgotten indeed not. Just a few days ago I really found out how my friends remembered me. Why- The mailman brought me a postcard from Duluth, Minn. This was exciting in itself. The Spalding Hotel pictured there brought back sweet memories. It was here that I dined with Dr. and Mrs. Arch, Mr. and Mrs. Vranichar and Mr1, and Mrs. Andrew Milavec, last August on the return trip from Ely to Cleveland. With sweet memories and tear dimmed eyes I turned the card to see who had remembered me. Well just below the greetings were six names. My heart almost beat with joy when I saw that some member’s of* the supreme board stopping on the way to Ely signed the card. I guess you have been held in suspension long enough. Thanks a million to Janko Rogelj, Frank Vranichar, John Kumse, Matt Anzelc, Andrew Milavec and Anton Zbasnik for remembering me. I’ll never forget them, and as far as the card is concerned it will be a priceless treasure.
Speaking of cards I want to thank every one of the delegates who sent me Christmas cards. It mey be a little late but nevertheless I appreciate their thoughtfulness.
The delegates are very nice to write to me and tell me all they are doing. I hear regularly from several Pennsylvania delegates (and do I like their letters I hope they never stop writing.) then I get several letters from Minnesota, and other points east and west.
The SSCU is certainly very fraternal. I have made many priceless friends at the Convention and at other social affairs of the organization.
All these things help to bring back memories.
Another incident to help me recollect the convention proper deals with our guest speaker at the picnic we had on Aug. 6 to commemorate the 41st anniver-(Contiriueii on v;dgt 6)
Lodge 92
SOUTH OF THE (CANADIAN) BORDER
Reporter on a college daily.
Anne Prosen, Cleveland girl, now enrolled at Kent State University, has been made an active reporter on the “Kent Stater” daily. Miss Prosen is well known to the Nova Doba readers with two columns to her credit: My Impressions, which related in detail the doings of the third juvenile convention and second athletic conference; and Did You Know That, a column devoted to many interesting facts. She is a member of lodge 173, SSCU.
Set date of the annual SSCU tenpin tournament. Cleveland committee on preliminary preparations for the sixth annual SSCTJ tenpin tournament selected Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28, for the annual SSCU bowling tournament. The dance committee headed by co-chairman Tony Drenik and John Urbančič, with assistants Tony Laurich and Joe Korencic, rented Slovenian Home on 15810 Holmes Ave., for the dance, which is to be a closed affair. The banquet committee, John Kardell, chairman, with “Lud” Laurich, “Loychie” Ivancic, and Joe Struna, assistants, scheduled Bridge Tavern for the tournament banquet.
Rockdale, I.. — For the bene-I fit of those members of lodge “Vit. sv. Mihaela,” 92, SSCU | who have not been informed, I ; wish to say that for the year 11940 the entire former administrative board was re-elected.
I Thus, I have retained the office j of secretary.
I wish to call attention to the ! membership that I shall collect | assessments at the lodge meet-! ings, which are held on the third ; Sunday of the month, and on j the third Saturday of the month : from 5:30 to 7:00 p. m. at my I home. I will not accept assess-! ments whenever an idividual member takes a fancy to pay. There must be some system, for the secretary cannot be at the disposal of the members every minute. All members are requested to honor the foregoing instructions, and to pay their assessments at the designated time.

Rudolph Straus of Rock Springs, Wyo., passed into the great beyond after a protracted illness. Forty-eight years old at the time of death, he is survived by his wife and two daughters, one of whom, Elsie Straus, was a delegate to the third juvenile convention. The deceased was a member of lodge 18, SSCU.
An aeroplane accident caused the death of Joseph Kapelj, member of lodge 71, SSCU, Cleveland. Both Bro. Kapelj and the pilot died as a result of the aeroplane crash.
Recently Cleveland Ivan Cankar Dramatic Club named Anthony J. Klančar, Cleveland translator of Cankar’s works, honorary member. This is the first time that the club ever named any Cleveland Slovene. Slovenes contributing to the popularizing of Cankar’s work and philosophy will be named in the future.
Mr. Klančar may be remembered for his translation and production of Ivan Cankar’s “Scandal in the Valley of St. Florian” which was given for the benefit of the Yugoslav Cultural Gardens several years ago. Many of his translations from Cankar have also appeared in local and European periodicals.
Drive Carefully
There is no difference between killing or maiming a person with a gun and taking the life of a fellowman as a result of reckless driving. Each has lost his life, the loss to his loved ones is just as keen and in each case his family is deprived of his support. Remember that the bumper of a car can cause as much suffering and sorrow as a bullet.

Scientific Facts
It has been estimated that private industry in America spends about 250 million dollars a year on scientific research. Objective of this is to find new processes for the development of such products as plastics . .'. Generally speaking, the average adult is able to read only about as fast as he could in the eighth grade of grammar-school—some 300 words a minute . . . The human liver contains substances which promote growth and aid the replacement of tissue . . . Chemists have stated that the onion causes tears because it contains an irritating aldehyde agent, a hydrogen-less alcohol that kills germs . . . Twins or descendants of twins are more likely than other persons to give birth to twins . . . Through the chemistry of synthetics, Great Britain and Germany annually produce a million tons of gasoline, not from petroleum, but from coal ... The first under water diving suit, a crude leather case for the body, was invented by an Englishman in 1715. Not until 1910, however, drd deep-sea diving become a .standard part of all up-to-date naval work. Today American divers can operate safely at depths of about 500 feet . . . Lowest possible temperature, according to students of cyrongenics, is 273.13 degrees below zero on the Centigrade scale . . . The woman dies in one out of every 100 of the several hundred thousand abortions performed each1 year in the United States. In addition, out of every 100 such artificial miscarriages, ten women become sterile and 13 are invalided for life . . . The American Baking Institute has found that bread, can be stored away and kept fresh for 40 days after baking by freezing it at a temperature of eight-'degrees Fahrenheit. As now produced and mar-Sceted, bread begins to grow stale a day or so after it comes from the oven. — Pathfinder.

“Do you hear shomsing right now?”
“No!”
“Thash funny. I’m talkin’ to
you.”
“Which is the most delicate of the ,-senses?” asked the teacher. •
“The touch,” answered Johnnie.
“How’s that?” asked the teacher.	v
“Well,” said Johnnie, “when you sit on a pin, you can’t see it, and you can’t hear it, you can’t taste it, but you know '.liat it’s there."
Ely, Minn.—United States Customs officials who patrol this border territory, always ready, to detect any law1 violation played a prominent	part in
the lives	of five j
gentlemen	of the)
SSCU — but could not solve the mystery concocted by our celebrat- ; ed author and trustee, Janko j N. Ilogelj. And again, as Nova-Doba went to press, the name of the young lady from Cleveland remained an exciting mystery.
For Supreme Officers kept lips sealed, exchanged only; smiles as Uncle Stan, using every trick in the newspaper game, could not penetrate the secret of the “mystery girl.” But	he	is	too patient	to give:
up, and	will keep after	the rid-
dle until it is solved — so help rue!
Orre chance, one beautiful j chance was shattered a week ago. It was then that Bro. Rogelj promised Uncle Stan he i would reveal the secret — pro-1 viding he was not on United) States soil. But this blunder-: ing reporter became so interest-: ed in “tundra” land and customs officials — he slipped up on golden opportunity. Result was lips of supreme officers were sealed tighter than ever.
It was a beautiful, mild Sunday afternoon. Bro. Puu! Oblock, second supreme vice! president; Bro. Anton Terbo-vec, editor-manager of Nova j Doba; and Paul Bartel, supreme j pr esident had just entered the J city on the crack passenger train. Other supreme officers: had eaten their dinner at Ver-J tin’s, and after the reception j of the new arrivals, were at a loss wondering what to do.
Bro. Rogelj reminded Uncle j Stan of a promise'to take the gang to the Canadian Ranger | Station on the Canadian side of Basswood lake — eighteen miles from Ely. Momentarily, j Uncle Stan began to weigh di- j rections in his mind. He felt j maybe a guide would be neees-; sary. He looked around a bit,! couldn’t find any of the boys who would know the country. But then, so interested was he in learning the name of Cleveland’s Mystery Girl, that he became bound and determined to guide the gentlemen over the frozen route himself iir his Vr-8.
Bro. Frank Vranichar, Bro. Andrew Milavec, Bro. Frank Tomsich, .Jr., Bro. Rogelj, and Uncle Stan composed the party who started out from Ely, took the Old Winton road to Winter). to the Fall Lake boat landing, thence on the frozen wastes of Fall lake.
Somebody ventured to ask: “How deep is the lake?” Answer: “All the way from inches to 150 and 200 feet!” Nobody expressed themselves, but it was noticeable the effect the answer had. Would the ice break? Would the car sink, through depositing all occupants into freezing sub-zero waters? “If we go, we go,” said; Janko, and everybody settled down a fatalistic feeling of “Let it come!” But there was nothing to fear for the ice was over two-feet thick, enough to hold an array.
The frozen waste of lake — •.'.lino:;'. ei"!it milo:: of it. ure-'
sented an auspicious picture. It resembled more the frozen tundras of Northern Siberia. Along what would be lake-shore in the summer were mere skeletons of trees, and roads leading to beautiful resorts — over the ice. The V-8 purred contentedly over the ice — speed hitting up to 50 miles per hour. Here one need not be afraid of turning off the road, landing in a ditch. Here one need not fear of collision. Nor traffic lights. For here was wilderness splendor— An exhilarating feeling of freedom. Later however, we learned that “freedom" was shortlived.
From the distance we saw the power dam — where electricity is generated for the homes in Ely, and outlying villages, hamlets and farm houses, for the big mining industry. We neared the end of Fall lake, and the car hit solid ground once more. It purred along four miles of beautiful but narrow road. It was “Four-mile” portage — historic ground once inhabited only by the Indian. Then the white man came along, brought civilization and resorts and feuds. Tall timber was cut, manufactured into lumber.
Supreme Officers eyed this wilderness land with interest. Particularly Frank Vranichar, who last November was at the southem-most point in United States in Florida, and here — just two and a half months lat-er, was traversing over the northern-most point.
At the other end of the portage, was Basswood lake. Here was more snow, but the powerful motor churned through it ■ sending up clouds of fine snow 1 in its wake. On and on, and :Z every mile saw something new. £ Ahead was land on which were impressive looking buildings. It was decided to stop there to inquire just how far one had to go to reach the destination — the Canadian Ra igor Station. Place was the Ski 1 way Club — which in the summer time caters to entertai ling tourists who dwell in nearby resorts. It was surprising to rce a lively group sitting a ound a cozy lire. We stepped up to the bar, had a bottle of beer a id some pretzels. There we met Bert (JustasQii, proprietor, and Charley Moran—-the Canadian ranger himself. Upon learning the destination, Moran was only too eager to escort the group the two remaining miles to the station. A glass' of whiskey evidently helped him make up his mind, but we were told the rangers were always very generous and cooperative with the wilderness traveler. He was a short lithe fellow whose face wa3 branded with the wind and wilder ness elements. He knew his way around.
He tied his skiis to the rear-bumper of the car, and away the motor purred. Moran informed the party that soon we would be crossing the imaginary border which separates peaceful United States	from
Canada, now engulfed in their mother country’s	vv,£,r	with
Europe. We expected to £oe Canadian mounties guarding the border — but this was so far from civilization	none	was
necessary. So we all. figured hero was real freedom where the lawr did not reach out its Uuncles — » sort of “Shangri-La.”

LITTLE STAN’S ARTICLE
(Continued rrom page 5)
Here too, was where Uncle Stan, so excited with everything, slipped up on his real purpose. Here he would have found out who this lady from Cleveland was. But his mind was occupied with one thousand and one new things, and when he did waken — it was too late.
Canadian Ranger Station was a cozy place. The party was warmly received for here strangers were few. Upon entering Uncle Stan recognized one lady immediately. She was Mrs. Vally — formerly Miss Gašperlin of Ely. Her folks are members of lodge No. 1. Here she lived through the rigors of winter wilderness, with her husband, also a Canadian Ranger. Bro. Rogelj looked over Uncle Stan’s direction several times, wondering whether this scribe would remember to ask. But Stan didn’t, tumble.
During the conversation, surroundings of the cabin home were taken in. So neat, so modern, clean and tidy, and so warm! It was learned from Ranger Vally that nearest civilization was at Winton and Ely on the American side. The part of Canada we were in was Ontario, and nearest civilization was 80 miles away to the north. A railroad traversed its way some distance north.
The sun was beginning to set in the west. The gentlemen decided to start the return trip. Outside we saw they were cutting up the ice, ready to store it for the summer season.About tc go in the car, we were reminded a Canadian store was located on a beautiful point. It deserved a look-in, for here was the genuine Hudson Bay wool products. The gentlemen purchased some souvenirs, Bro. Tomsich a pair of pretty Hudson Bay gloves for his wife, Packages all wrapped, the gang stepped into the machine and away they went.
Riding merrily along — the . imaginary border line was 11 crossed and Bro. Rogelj started , to laugh. Dawn broke as Uncle ** Stan came to, to find out he ; had missed his golden opportunity to clear up the mystery. He took all the razzing for some time — good-naturedly, of course. Heh Heh!
But the most exciting part of the trip was yet to come. Back on Fall lake, and Uncle Stan stepped up the car to high speed over the ice-bound lake. Up on dry land into Winton. Here United States Customs Officer Anderson flagged down the car. Uncle Stan was coming pretty fast, and he thought he knew the gentleman, was prepared to give him a care free wave of the hand. But the way Anderson flagged Uncle Stan gently but firmly realized that Uncle Sam’s agents were on the job — something he had not reckoned with!
Officer Anderson opened the ear door. “Your car?” he inquired. Uncle Stan answered affirmatively. “Where did you come from?” Answered Uncle Stan — “Oh, Basswood, Skidway, just sightseeing.”
“Were you in Canada?” The packages were evidence enough that the party had been in Canada. “Do you own this car?” inquired Anderson. Affirmative was the nod. “Let’s see your trunk.”
Uncle Stan stepped out, turn f*d the lock, for he had nothing to hide'. But the darned trunk door was frozen tight. He struggled with it. Somehow he imagined the officer was laughing at his misery. Finally, “Let it go,” said Anderson. Then followed a severe lecture. Uncle Stan learned only then that it was necessary to report to customs agents before leaving and upon returning from this coun

try. To evade the law, meant the driver and owner of the car was subject to a fine of $500 per passenger and seizure of his car. Inwardly, Uncle Stan counted his fingers... That meant $2,500, plus the car! Aye, Yie Yie! And Matt An-zelc was thinking about coming along too! Finally Officer Anderson finished and dismissed us, with a warning to observe the laws in the future. A sigh of relief, and more razzing — for your reporter — a newspaper man who was supposed to know that part of the law, was caught with his pants down — and ignorance of the law is no excuse.
It was a neat cut-back on the trick played on Paul Oblock, our second vice president. Only ours wasn’t premeditated. And so goes the adventure — but the Mystery of the Cleveland Girl remains unsolved! Keep reading, for your Uncle Stan won’t be outdone twice. He’ll find out and then!

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I am a member of St. Joseph lodge, 21, SSCU. I am in the fourth grade. My hobby is playing football. Since the ground is covered with snow we cannot play football very much these days. The ice is slippery. Weather was ideal until Christmas, then snow began to fall. Now most of the hobbies are ice skating, when the ice is strong enough. I think I will close now. I want j to remind all the members to be sure j and enroll at least one new member, thus contributing success to our lodge. | Edward Omahen (Age: 10) I No. 21, SSCU j

This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I have been having a good time during Christmas vacation. We went skating on the river nearly every day. We didn’t have any trouble getting a Christmas tree because we had very little snow. I am nine years old and in j the fourth grade. My birthday falls on j February 17. I am going to write every month. I cannot think of anything else to write so I shall close now.

This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I am now in the seventh grade and am attending Horace Mann Junior High School. I belong to St. Joseph’s lodge, No. 21. I have one sister and a brother. My sister is older than I but my brother is younger. My sister went to the last two juvenile conventions but I hope to go to the next one.
Our city was decorated for Christmas. The civic center and the city hall were all in lights. It took about a week and a half to put the lights up. This Christmas I received a gun, a bike and a lot of other things.
On New Year’s I went to a midnight show and saw the “Hunchback of Notre Dame.” It is about a man with a ugly face who falls in love with a beautiful gypsy girl. It’s very interesting. At present it Is snowing. It is our first big snowfall of the season. I am enclosing a funny poem.

DEAR EDITOR:
Well, well, oh "well, all right. I believe It’s about time I’m coming out of seclusion and writing about my trip to Ely. I’m an awful chump for not sending a letter in sooner.
First, although I’m rather late or out of season, anyway something like that. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Hutar family for their hospitality during the covention. Also my relatives, Mr. and Mrs. J. Loushin and family for the swell time I had while on my stay In Ely after the convention. I also visited in Chisholm’at the home of Miss Goldie Miklaich. She, too, showed me a swell time. Lest I forget, thanks to Mr. I and Mrs. Broderick, Charles, and nis two bashful brothers. I’ll bet they’re still bashful.
Since all the details of the convention have been covered, I’ll have to write about something else. While in Ely I stayed at the home of my cousin. We had a grand time together. Especially at the dances even though I had a hard' time trying to get that Northern swing that all those Ely people possess. About the end of August the policemen of Ely had a ball in the Community Center. The popular Don Victor’s orchestra played and I had a marvelous time. This proved to be a gala affair, why even little Stan was there.
I stayed in the wilderness country for about a month, but all too soon I too had to leave, much to my regret My cousins took me to Duluth, and on the way I saw a great deal of the range. I visited several places of interest in Duluth. Upon arrival in St. Paul I met some people who I had pre viously met in Ely. They took me to the beautiful Colliseum Dance Hall which is claimed to be the largest In the United States. Gosh, everything that’s wonderful has to stop so I was on my way to Omaha. Upon arrival I went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Broderick and had dinner, then they took me to boys town. It really was a treat. At that time some new buildings were being constructed. Therefore, befys town is being enlarged rapidly.
Again I had to leave my friends and board the train for “Dear old Denver, and Colorado sunshine.” Again I wish to thank all the swell people that met or came in contact with while in Ely or on the trip. Now I wish you all a Happy New Year and I do hope that the other delegates and juveniles have made the same resolution as I have. That is to be a regular contributor to our swell paper.

Convention Memories
(Continued from page 5)
sary of our Union. Just last week Hon. Harold E Stassen made news. He received a diamond-studded key from Perry Pepkin, president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce. The governor was the nation’s outstanding man under 35 years old during the year 3939.
If you delegates remember, Gov. Harold E. Stassen was the gentleman who addressed the convention and whose speech was presented in a summarized form in “My Impression.” I think the SSCU is a very important organization to have had the man, who did the most outstanding work in 1939 address the convention.
Little did we delegates who heard the governor and met him think that this man who so graciously took interest in our organiza tion would a few months later be honored thus His picture appeared in the Cleveland News, Jan. 24, 1940.
I, too, feel proud of the Union and cherish his autograph along with those of the supreme board and the delegates and other SSCU members.
By now I think the readers know a little how I feel about our Convention. It will not die but live 011 and on.
Thanks to all my friends who remembered me in one way or another.

DEAR EDITOR:
Resolved: That I write a letter to the juvenile section every month of the year 1940. This should be everyone's first resolution on their list.
The New Year Is here and it’s up to us Juveniles to fill up the juvenile page; so come on and send a letter next month and every other month. Midyear exams are around the corner and
CLEVELAND, 0.1
DEAR EDITOR:
Yes, it is the New Year, 1940. Have you all started out right with it? By 1 your resolutions? I do hope most of you | juveniles have resolved to have an article in the paper for every month. I It would be nice if you did make that 1 resolution. You know it’s never too late so—give it a thought.
Celebrated New Year’s at the Slo-1 vene Workman’s Home in Collinwood. I The well known and ever popular two orchestras played for all the dancers. I They are, namely Kristoff’s and Vad-nal’s. Talked to Tony Kristoff, accor- j . dion maestro. We also mentioned Phil Sirca and why we haven’t heard from him for such a long time. Also talked I to the other accordion maestro, Johnnie Vadnal who is well known with the I other members of the orchestra for ! playing in Pennsylvania and other states. Danced until I was very tired, j Was with my friends, Ann Winkler and j I Fay Poropat. Also had a grand time i with my other pal, Miss Jo Klein. Yes, j in all that was a swell celebation. Incidentally the singing club Jadran j sponsored the dance.
Read Little Al’s colum. Sure was j swell, Al. Well, I certainly thank you j A1 for the nice compliment you gave me for my work with the Magic Carpet, j but I was fust trying to help Little ! Stan out. I will be anxiously waiting j I for the time until the 1940 Model i Magic Carpet will be complete. If Little Stan and Al have something to do with i it then I'm positive it will be good—
5 so I guess we have to wait until then. Our semester will soon be ending at school. At Collinwood High School there will be many graduates. One of i my friends, Josephine Klein remarks, “It will be rather sad leaving dear old Collinwood High School, but my graduation day arrived and I, as many others will have to go out into this world and begin looking forward for a future in living.” Remarks like this ! one are quite common nowadays at the 1 school. For by the end of the month I our present 12A’s wil be gone. Yes, then i the 12B’s, my but the years are going
■ fast. Those school days pass slowly while you are attending them, but when you are out of them then you miss them. Yes, those are the school memories!
Must also say that I attended a dance last week sponsored by the Frances Rupert Cadets. Met Al Jelercic, a delegate back in ’39. Our first topic of discussion was about the good old days we had in Ely. Yes, I guess all you others remember Altoona, don’t you? Saw other members of the SSCU too.
Next month, if Little Stan is still busy I will resume with the Magic ! Carpet. I would make my article long-1 er, but due to the Latin homework I have I really must say Goodbye to all members of the SSCU.

■ DEAR EDITOR:
Greetings to all the readers of this j page and all my other friends. Yes, j this is my second article to the juvenile j page for the year 1940. You, as well as i yours truly must remember to keep your resolution and write an article for the juvenile page every month.
Yes, tjhe latter part of January the pupils were passing and going to higher grades. I attended the commencement at Collinwood High on January 25, 1940. I went with my friends, Mr.
• and Mrs. Klein and their son, Bill and j Mr. and Mrs. Kristoff, Mr. and Mrs.
I Klein's daughter, Josephine graduated ■; that night. On the program was Al-: bert Unetic who gave a book report on j Wind, Sand and Stars. Florence Unetic soprano sang “Mary of the Wild Moor” and “Out on the Silvery Tide.” Lillian : Satkovic, soprano sang “Jewel Song” from Faust. The program was very well done and it sure was thrilling just ' sitting in the balcony and listening to the program. Now our next commencement will be in June, our forty-seventh : commencement.
1 With the great news we have been 1 waiting for we are all so excited? Why?
1 Because Little Stan is going to resume 1 with his JUVENILE PAGE HONOR ROLL and we can hardly wait to see what it is all about. Yes, Stan you can r depend on me to assist you. I’m also ; sure that Misses Florence D. Startz and Irene Pavlich will also do their part ! and help. All we can do now is to en-; courage other members to write so as ’ they can make the honor roll and might some day be able to assist Little 1 Stan. So dear juveniles, as Little Stan , does say in his article get out your 1 typewriter, ink and pen and get to work so that you can have an article in the paper every month. Don’t forget, to the juveniles who keep up with their writings there will be a gift awarded to them at the end of six months, June, being the lucky month. So Justine Korent, Margaret Startz, Dorothy Pre-dovich, Ann Winkler, Dorothy Boldin, Milly Poklar, Bob Jurgel and all you other writers see to it that you will have an article in the paper for every month from this month on till June and you will certainly be awarded. So dear juveniles don’t forget your articles for next month.
Looking at January’s issue of the juvenile page we find that our young members took their opportunities to write and I certainly was glad to sfee that so many juveniles were taking an interest and writing to our fine paper, namely: Nova Doba. Well, continuing with the juveniles articles from last month's issue. To Penna., we’ll stop at Pittsburgh and stop to see our own friend Bob Jurgel who we met at the convention and will always be remembered. Oh, Bob your article was just too wonderful about the students of the high school traveling thru the Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science. I bet you just had a

There’s lots of snow on the ground.
It came a little too late for Christmas ; so it came now. We have lots of fun ; sled-riding and yankee riding. Too bad Frances had a cold and missed some 1 fun, but she’s getting better and hopes to be having fun soon. The other day at school we were eating lunch when | she turned around to me and told me j something happened to her filling in one of her teeth and she showed me j and it was quite true. I asked her where she lost it and she said she thinks she ate it down with her sandwich when it came loose. She said her mother will scold her when she gets home. She!
I said she will tell her mother she was j J eating chairs. Boy that was a laugh, i I Then for a little fun we put a notice on j I the blackboard that Frances Zele lost I I her tooth filling and the finder should j j please return it to her. When she no-! ticed that, she hurried to erase it, but ■ didn’t notice that some one else was 5 I writing another notice .on the other side 1 of the room. She soon found that and j erased it also. Accidents do happen j when you are least expecting them so we wish you get that fixed soon Frances. Hope you didn’t forget to put that incident in your diary Frances.
J There isn’t much more to say but I before I close I’ll say Happy Birthday I to Jimmy Progar, the Old Rambler’s j son.

DEAR EDITOR:
I think it’s just about time I start writing. I’ve had it in mind, but I guess I just kept putting it off. Weeks would pass by and before I knew it, a month had passed. So now I've made up my mind that one of my new year’s resolutions is to write every month to the Nova Doba, so, here I am starting out | with the new year.
Christmas has come and gone. How j has Santa treated everyone this year? j He’s been pretty good to me this year, j How about you Little Stan?
I kept myself busy during the Christmas vacation by skating just about every day. One good thing about skating is that we don’t have to skate out-’ doors, and sometimes freeze our toes. We skate on artificial ice in the Hik»bing Memorial Building. There certainly are a lot of children skating lately. Many of the children got figure skates from good old St. Nick.
; I still remember the wonderful times I had in Ely. I liked best of all going ; to the Indian reservation. I especially want to thank the Slogar family for treating me so nicely.
Hibbing is finally getting its winter. 1 We didn’t have snow until two days before Christmas. The people here in , Hibbing were all surprised. It was a ! good thing it snowed, or else, Santa wouldn't have come. The little tots would’nt have liked it very well, es-. pecially Little Stan.
:	Did everyone have a nice Christmas
’ vacation? We had our vacation for a period of two weeks.
)
i I am a student of the Hibbing High 1 School. I am in the tenth grade. I have
- taken up four subjects: World History, t English, Biology and Bookkeeping. My , teachers are all pretty good, although [ some of them get boring at times. I
- hope none of my teachers read this.
I In conclusion, I am wishing every Supreme Board member and all the i members of the SSCU a happy new ; year, and may it be a prosperous one.
J
Bye till next month.

j DEAR EDITOR:
0 Although we usually have snow for t Ohristmas, this last Christmas we
1 didn’t. The kiddies soon recovered from i the disappointment when they ran s downstairs to see what Santa had
brought them. I received many gifts if including a candid camera from mother I and dad. I have wanted a camera for ; four months and you could imagine my 1 surprise when I got it. I am sure most B of you had a Merry Christmas.
I want to express my thanks to the ;. SSCU Lodge No. 149 for the Christmas
- treat they gave us children. It surely
0 was a grand treat!
1	1940 dawned bright and early with a plenty of snow on the ground. (Yes, g we really have snow.) Everyone seemed s happy and full of the new year’s spirit. I I suppose the new resolutions were !. working wonderfully, but how long y will they last? I know most of you a made resolutions to write to the Nova s Doba each month. Well, let’s keep it s up for I made that same resolution.
Let’s try very hard and carry out our d resolutions this year. “Try and you will r, succeed,” is a very good motto that h we should- all adopt. I think every ju-
I venile member of the SSCU should n make a resolution to contribute articles
II to the Nova Doba. I suppose most of t you say, “I don’t have anything to e write about.” I was the same once and ?. used to wonder where the juveniles o got so many words to write down. All
you need is a start and you will roll ) smoothly along. At first I couldn’t find anj' words to write down but now I L. have so many that I’m afraid the editor wouldn’t have room enough for o them all. I know each of you could if spare a t^enie bit of time from a whole
- month to contribute to our beloved friend the'Nova Doba. I know a great
0 favor you could do for this great friend e of ours. Make it overflow with articles t all year long! So try hard, won’t you?

Na prihodnji seji bi želel videti vse naše člane in članice, ne samo tiste, ki redno prihajajo na seje. Prav je, da se vsaj včasih vsi snidemo, da bomo videli, če se kaj staramo ali se pomlajamo. Torej, na svidenje na prihodnji seji in bratski pozdrav!

Barberton, O. — Nedavno sta prišla na dvotedenski obisk v Barberton Mr. in Mrs. John Sedej iz Evcletha, Minn. Ustavila sta se pri sestri Mrs. Jacob Novak ter sta obiskala brata Mihaela Sedeja ter druge znance in prijatelje v Barbertonu. Po-setila sta tudi prijatelje v Clevelandu, Ohio, in v Sharo^ni, Pa.
Za 25-letnico njunega zakonskega življenja smo jima priredili surprise party, ki jima je bilo res v prijetno iznenadenje. Vršila se je 27. januarja, in veselje je bilo videti, kako veselo so se pozdravljali stari, znanci in prijatelji, izmed katerih se nekateri že niso videli od 25 do 30 let. Nekateri so v tem času že postali stari očetje in stare matere. Andy E. Nedoh je slavljenca pozdravil z lepipi nagovorom, poleg tega pa je bilo seveda tudi mnogo posameznih čestitk. Sploh je bila vsa prireditev prijetna skupščina veselih ljudi.
Družina Sedejeva vodi že vrsto let trgovino v Evelethu. Zakonca sta videti mnogo mlajša kot bi se sodilo po letih ter sta lepo vzgojila tri sinove in eno hčerko. Njuni prijatelji jima želijo, da bi v zdravju in zadovoljstvu dočakala tudi svojo zlato poroko. Hvala vsem za obisk!

liutte, Mont. — članstvo društva Sv. Martina, št. 105 JSKJ, pozivam, da se polnoštevilno udeleži prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 18. februarja ob sedmih zvečer v navadnih prostorih. Na programu seje bo več važnih zadev, katerih ne more sam društveni odbor rešiti. Dolžnost vsakega člana je, da se. društvenih sej udeležuje in se tam pouči in informira o vseh društvenih problemih. Nikakor pa ni pravilno po kuhinjah povpraševati, kaj se je vršilo in sklepalo na seji. Društvene zadeve se rešujejo na seji, kuhinjske pa v kuhinji. Na svidenje na seji 18. februarja in bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 105 JSKJ:

White Valley, Pa. — Pred časom sem videl nekje zapisano, da nekateri dopisniki samo zato pišejo dopise, da se njihova imena blišči jo v javnosti. Pa jaz mislim, da je to čisto prav, da se člani večkrat oglašajo v glasilu. Ako bi ne bilo dopisov iz naselbin, bi se lahko kritiziralo rojake, zakaj nobeden nič ne poroča. Seveda je največ takih, ki rajše čitajo kot pišejo r tudi jaz sem med tistimi, čeprav se moje ime večkrat blišči v glasilu. Tu in tam sem bil že osebno vprašan, zakaj se tako malokrat 0-glašam. Tako se vidi, da neka-, terim je prav, drugim pa ne.
V	naši Beli dolini smo imeli v januarju prav tako občutno zimo, kakor smo slišali, da je bila drugod. Temperatura je padla do 10 in 15 pod ničlo. Mene rado v noge zebe, pa sem si sklenil naročiti par jugoslovanskih copatov, katere sem videl ogla Sevan e v nekem listu. Pisal sem na tvrdko, ki je oglaševala, koliko stane par teli importiranih jugoslovanskih copatov, in - dobil sem odgovor, da stane $1.20. Ker je še neki drugi rojak želel naročiti par, sem pisal po dva para jugoslovanskih copat za $2.40, Po tednu dni sem posla-

no reč res dobil po pošti, toda ko sem zavitek odprl, se je začela žena tako smejati, da se sko-ro ni mogla ustaviti. Copati so bili bolj podobni nekakim nogavicam kot copatom. Tudi drugi so se smejali in se menda še danes smejejo, če bi bile prave copate iz Jugoslavije, kakršne j so včasih imeli, bi nič ne rekel, i če bi stale tudi $1.50; take kot j so te, se pa dobijo v Pennsylva-niji po 20 ali 25 centov par.

Cleveland, O. — Pred kakimi petimi leti. ko sem se šetal po I pokopališču Sv. Janeza Krstni-j ka v Cerknici in čital razne napise na nagrobnikih, mi je naj-; bolj v spominu ostal napis: ; “čuj, popotnik, kaj ti z groba i tvoj prijatelj govori: Glej, moj delež je trohnoba, to boš kmalu : tudi ti!” To mi je prišlo na mi-; sel, ko je pri našem društvu Sv. * Janeza Krstnika, št. 71 JSKJ, v kratkem razdobju smrt pobrala kar tri člane.
Prvi je bil dobro poznani sobrat Rudolph Perdan, ki je zad-! njih 20 let vodil grocerijo in j mesnico. Pred leti je bil tudi , glavni odbornik JSKJ, in sicer glavni predsednik, nato pa predsednik nadzornega odbora. Od leta 1933 naprej ni bil več v gl. odboru ,toda bil je še vedno ves-‘ ten član JSKJ in našega dru-! štva št. 71. še dva tedna pred ! svojo smrtjo je bil na društve-j ni seji, kjer je poudarjal važ-1 I nost JSKJ. P>il ie dober družab-1 nik, izvrsten pevec in tudi igro-vodja. Umrl je nagloma, za srč-| no kapjo.
Nekaj dni zatem se je za ved-I no poslovil od nas sobi at John Rošel ustanovnik in vseskozi do-| ber član našega društva. Pre-I minil je po daljšem bolehanju, j
Dne 27. januarja pa je bil v j letalski nesreči smrtno nevar-

no poškodovan Joseph Kapel, star 26 let. Omenjeni je delal v | tovarni, toda prosti čas je porabil za pilotiranje letal. Imel je tudi letalsko dovoljenje. Do-, tičnega dne se je v družbi Chas. | Gaghagena odpravil na letališče, odkoder std se z letalom dvignila v zrak. Petnajst minut potem je letalo treščilo na tla. Pri tem je bil Gaghagen na mestu ubit, Joseph Kapel pa je umrl tekom prevoza v bolnišnico. — Prizadetim družinam naj bo izraženo sožalje. Glede našega društva pa upam, da ga bela žena v bodoče ne bo tako pogosto obiskovala.
Dramsko društvo “Anton Ve-rovšek” bo v nedeljo 18. februarja vprizorilo veseloigro “Denar.” Igra se bo vršila v Slovenskem delavskem domu na Waterloo Rd. in se bo pričela ob treh popoldne. Vstopnice so v predprodaji po 35 centov, pri blagajni pa bodo po 40 centov. Igra je zelo zabavna in dramsko društvo pričakuje obilega po-seta. .
Tony Drenik.
Barberton, O. — Takole pobira smrt iz vrst naših pionirjev in iz vrst naših bivših jednotinih uradnikov, šele nekaj let je od tega, ko sem se, že v naprej vedoč, zadnjič poslovil od na bolniški postelji ležečega in pri naši Jednoti nepozabnega Josepha Pishlerja. Pred par leti sem bil navzoč, ko se je položilo venec na greb prvemu predsedniku naše Jednote, Josephu Agnichu. Ne dolgo gd tega nam je smrt pobrala izobraženega moža sobrata Johna Moverna, i kateri se je mnogo trudil, ne ' samo za našo Jednoto, ampak | za naš narod splošno v državi
