MASINAIGANS: THE LITTLE BOOK
A Biography of Msgr. Joseph F. Buh
by Sister Bernard Coleman and Sister Verona La Bud Benedictine. Sisters of St. Scholastica Priory Duluth, Minn.
Written in Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary commemorating ihe death of the last of a long line of Missionary greats in America.
“I have enjoyed reading this book so much — one learns so much of our Slovenian missionaries and Slovenian priests.
“From pages 281 to 304 there is a short biography of these priests as well as others who were associated with Msgr. Buh throughout his Missionary days wherever he went. Written in English and educational for all is this work of accomplishment by so many of Slovenian descent. I heartily recommend it to all members of S.W.U.”

FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART
January inaugurates a New Year, but every fourth January inaugurates a new term of office for America's president and vice-pnesid e n t. Our Founding Fathers foresaw an unbroken link of authority starting with George Washington.
"Thursday, April 30, 1879, was a cool, clear day in New York City. A west wind swept crisply across the Hudson River, adding a tang to the mounting excitement. Since dawn, the festive crowd in front of Federal Hall had steadily increased, and by nine o’clock, when the church bells rang out, heralding the great event that was about to occur and inviting the people to mark it with prayers, the intersection of Wall and Broad Streets was a solid, cheering mob. At noon, on the Federal HaM balcony, George (Continued on bach page)

GREETINGS TO ALL!
Congratulations to Br. 16 of South Chicago, Illinois on their 45th Anniversary that was organized on February 13, 1928 by Agnes Mahovllch.
5th Anniversary of Dawn Choral Group Concert was held November 26, 1972 at Rehar Hall, Euclid, Ohio. Attended the concert of the Dawn Choral group to a packed hall. I am very proud of each and every member of the Dawn Choral group for the wonderful concert you performed.
Director Frank Gorensek is to be highly complimented on the fine work he did in composing and directing the ladies to perform one of the finest concerts ever. Each and every one who attended was very impressed and comments from all was just wonderful. Soloists were Carolyn Budan, Olga Klančar and Mimi Režonja; Mimi Režonja and Tillie Špehar in duet. Quintet composed of Pavla Dolinar, Helen Gaser, J'uliana Gorensek, Mimi Režonja, Tillie Špehar.
They also did a marvelous job. Encore on the song Where is My Love from the movie Dr. Zivago and translated in Slovenian by Director Gorensek was just beautiful. Piano accompanist was Metka Gorensek, daughter of the director and also our S.W.U. scholarship student last year. 5th Anniversary symbol on the stage was made by artist John Povirk. Congratulations on a wonderful and beautiful concert and Slovenian Women's Union surely is very proud of the Dawn Choral Group of Cleveland, Ohio. Keep up the good work.
Speedy recovery to all ailing and Happy Birthday to
a.I celebrating this month.

Joliet Bowlerette Profiled
FROM "THE WILL COUNTY BOWLER''
MARGE GASPARICH OF 922 Cora Street, Jolidt, is newsworthy not only because of her notable 629 three game feat recently in Slovenian Women’s Union league at Rivals Bowl. The Series in itself brought acclaim to busy Marge, for the 214-203-212 games totalled highest hit since Geri Patterson’s 635 on October 24, and ranks third best in the maturing local season.
The 629 figure also was significant for it was the only Gasperich 600 series in 29 years of league participation. Nor had she ever reached to more than one 200 games in a set — now to three! Last season her 200 accomplishment was nil. Marge misfired for one open in each game, bowling the final frame in the 203 midway.
She raised her average from 155 to 161, highest in Joliet SWU, where her Northwest Recreation Club team is first. In Marge’s other circuit, K.S.K.J. Ladies at Rivals, her Fred Dames team .leads by one-half game, her 154 pace is second-best. Here prior highs fell, 558-222.
Talent and interests are many; she has been a screemmaker for Modern Industries for 18 years and serves as treasurer for both the Altar and Rosary Society of St. Joseph’s church and for the St. Genevieve Society of KSKJ. The talent-
ed Gasperich fingers bring profit to the church — she and her mother had a fanciwork booth at the Christmas Bazaar just held, which displayed their crocheting, outwork, aprons, knitting and much more.
HUSBAND FRANK, A.G.A.F. electrician, bowled as far back as Rivals’ original four lanes. Now, disheartened, he substitutes only in local leagues.
Frank and Marge share an unusual and engrossing hobby that is “therapy and, a memorial for us”, she says. The 1928 Modeli A Ford beautifully	revived	by	them	is
small solace however,	for	the tragic
loss of son Frank, 23, in Viet Nam action on February 6, 1971. A brilliant student, their only offspring, he enlisted two days after graduation from the University of Illinois.
AFTER ALL NEW mechanical parts, a complete motor overhaul, the Model	A could	go	“coast	to
coast”, claims Marge, “and at 50-55 miles am hour. We’ve spun to York-ville and all around the area.” Their search for parts hiais ‘taken Gaspe-riohs as far as Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana. Wisconsin —	from Pennsylvania	to
California.

To Marge, a loyal member of Br. 20, many more top scores!

A construction worker was d'oing his job some floors	^
up. Suddenly, he heard somebody scream. In construction work that means only one thing ■ trouble. The shouts of anguish came from a man barely hanging on to the edge of the disposal chute. If he released his grip, he would surety plunge to his death some floors below. Without a word or second thought the construction worker was at his side. Only then he realized it was his own son.
Quick action and strong arms saved the man’s life. After he pulled his son to safety, his father felt the impact of the incident. “Imagine” he said, "you start running to help somebody and suddenly you see it’s your own son. Imagine how you would feel if you did not make it in time.”
Bonds of blood spur extra effort when someone is in trouble. When you recognize the person in need as someone near and dear to us, we do not count the cost and sacrifice in coming to his aid. What may start out as just another job involving just another person suddenly becomes a speciail job involving a special person.
It happens every day. Sometimes we recognize the special person so we go about the task in a disinterested, desultory manner as if we were bored with the whole matter.
Can you imagine our wide-eyed and open-mouth surprise when we here those strangely familiar words:
"Come, blessed of my Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world for I was hungry and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; naked and you covered me; sick and you visited me; in prison and you came to me”. Then the just will answer saying, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you; thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothed you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison and come to you?” And answering the king will! say to them, “Amen,
I say to you, as long as you did it for one of these, the least of my brethren, you did it to me”.
When you think about it, everyone is special. Some-fj>	one in need? Someone in trouble? Let’s	hasten to help.
£	It may be a son. It may be a daughter.	It maybe a bro-	'j
ther or sister. It may be Christ. “Imagine how you would ^	feel if you did not make it in time.”	vj

Happy New Year to everyone of you. May it be prosperous and successful! for all you members and thus for our organization.
Our Penny Social back in bleak November was a big success for those who organized it, those who worked so hard, and all those who attended it. We had so many lovely prizes donated (e.g., Mrs. J'azbec’s afghan Mrs. Paul in’s shawl, Mrs. Zefran’s flatware set,) that Lady Luck smiled on many of us. Thanks are extended to everyone who participated. With our kind of team work, the future looks very bright indeed.
The date of the concert we are sponsoring is coming closer all the time. Many tickets have been sold. There will be buses of our people from Milwaukee and Joliet (maybe Waukegan). It should be a nice reunion for old friends coming from near and far to enjoy a professional performance of our cultural heritage. If there are any among you who still have not reserved a seat, please do so now. So many times we let things pass without realizing that once they are gone they don’t return. There probably will be other concerts but the concert of these singers and dancers is on Feb. 4th at 6.30 at Orchestra Hall and will not be repeated in the near future. And if it is repeated, it will not be exactly the same. Please come and join us.

Here it is, the beginning of a New Year, 1973. Hope all our members of
S.W.U., National Officers, Father Claude Okorn, have a happy and healthy new year. May the good Lord grant us lasting peace!
Our faithful members always show up at our meetings, so in November we all met to hear of the latest news. Many of the ladies are ill and we always remember them with prayers. Our main meeting in December was to have elections. Mrs. Theresa Kodelja and Mrs. Alice Opalich donated
to our treasury. Many thanks. No doubt Alice is in Florida by now; it was so nice to see her this summer. "Happy Birthday, Alice!”
Our deepest sympathy to the family of our departed member Josephine Mervar, May she rest in peace in our American soil. This year has gone by so fast, we reailly had no summer it seems with so much rain. So, here we are in winter again, cold weather, snow! My wish to all of you is good health and happiness in 1973.

November meeting wasn't as well attended and we missed several of our regulars whom we knew were sick and we sincerely hope they are well enough for the new year’s doings. We expected to accomplish a lot of business at the yearly meeting and planned an extra good lunch for a Christmas party. These plans were discussed and so was the card party held the following Sunday.
Mary Starich and her mother, Celia Novak, brought a good lunch of smoked butt, pickles and bread, and there was more than enough. And Mrs. Plesko treated with home made "ftan-cete” which are always good. It's nice to be remembered and treated by the birthday girls, so we sang "Happy Birthday" to all three.
Mrs. Plesko came back from her Florida trip only to hear the sad news of her good friend, Mary Kokalj’s death. Our sympathy to the families of both of these good and very old time members whom we will miss. Prayers were offered for them before we adjourned the meeting.
Our Sunday, Nov. 19th, the card party had some competition from the Folk Fair, but thanks to our good friends and member branches, we did earn some of our yearly expense money. The donations helped a lot, too, especially the turkey donated by Mr. Rebernisek from whom we bought our prizes and brandy donated by Stavia Dobersek’s husband, Matt; a bottle of wine by Frances Seston, bowls, handkerchiefs and a Christmas centerpiece by Jo Wilhelm, door prize by Margaret Krotchnik, No. 10 flour by Mary Dobnik, coffee and soap by Stavia Dobersek.
Baked goods and coffee always help to please our patrons and thanks to the donations from Stavia, 2 cakes and apple strudels by Olga Fredericks, Frances Plesko, Evelyn Laurich and myself, we also made some money from this.
Thanks to all who took part; all donors and good reliable helpers, mainly Stavia, Jo Wilhelm and Mary Evanich. We also had eight cash donations.
Remember to report all the sick to one of your officers if you can’t reach me. Mrs. Pung, one of our eldest members is at St. Luke’s hospital. Remember to pray for her or visit her and we hope she soon is well enough to be at home soon again.
Contact your officers for any books or National! Convention project. Prizes are all cash and you may be a lucky one. Hope you all have a good holiday season.

It was nice to see some new faces at the November meeting. We welcomed new members Lena Kalpa and Desa Peirce. We helped Lena celebrate her birthday along with Frances Grot-kowski and Katie Triller.
Recently Frances Grotkowski was blessed by a visit from the "Pilgrim Virgir”. The Lady of Fatima Statue was in her home for a week. During this time many of our members accepted France’s invitation to join her in afternoon or evening of prayer. It was a very gratifying experience.
At the end of November we gathered together to pray at the bier of Catherine Zlogar. She was one of our most faiithful members and we are saddened by our loss. Our sympathy is extended to her family and friends.
On our sick list is Antonia Marolt who has been patient at Christ Community Hospital. She has our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Now is the time for new resolutions. Let us all strive to become more active in our organization. Happy New Year!

"Welcome Back” is extended to our vacations, those who traveled abroad and in the states, and from the reports all enjoyed themselves.
Congratulations are extended to the Br. No. 102, Willard, Wisconsin for a very successful State Day Convention held on Sunday, October 22,
1972.	Buses were from each of the following branches, No. 1-12-17-43, and with the members and their families and friends from Willard, Wisconsin State Day Convention was a wonderful turnout. The convention meeting was well conducted with State President, Rose Kraemer presiding. Various reports were recommended for the future and welfare of S.W.U.
Reverend Mertens celebrated the Holy Mass and gave an inspiring sermon fitting for the S.W.U. occasion. The choir sang some beautiful Slovenian selections.
After the convention meeting and Holy Mass, a delioious banquet was served to the guests followed by a very delightful program.
Many thanks go to the hostess branch No. 102 for their warm hospitality, delicious banquet, program and to all that made that day a very successful one. I was very glad to be there as a representative of the National Board. Our branch, including yours truly, left for home with another leaf to add to our book of memories.
Congratulations and best wishes are extended to Br. No. 1 and Mrs. Marie Prisland, foundress, on the 46th anniversary. May God shower you with many blessings.
Get-well wishes are extended to the sick and shuMns for a speedy recovery.

Within one month, we lost two of our good members. First to go was Agnes Grošelj who died Nov. 16th. Her first marriage was to the late Mr. Sukiey and later she married Luke Grošelj who survives with one son and three daughters and many other relatives. She joined our branch Feb. 1938 recommended by Mr. Fabian. We remember her as very kind and helipfuil. We will miss her smile and good natured disposition. Our condolences to the family and Mary Haggerty, our member. Officers and members of Br. 20 came to her bier to pray for her soul as is the custom.
Our second loss was of our longtime member Mary Lesnik recommended for membership be the late Antonia Struna. Mary was III for a long time and was hospitalized thru two serious operations and then, convalesced at home where her sons and daughters-in-law took such good care of her. We miss her wonderful strudels and good poticas and other bakery with which she showered us at various times. We miss her advice, her presence at the meetings; she was a church choir member for many years with her sister Ann Fandek and was also a member of the Br. 20 singing group. She was a long-time auditor of the branch, a delegate and Mother of the Year. She was a member of various organizations and was loved by everyone. Her large funeral proved how well she was loved among us and the community. She is survived by her husband, John who was also recently hospitalized. We hope he will continue on the road to good health. She is also survived by four sons and daugh-ters-in-law, many grandchildren and relatives with her brother Verbich. We will always keep her in our memory, as her deeds will not be forgotten. She was laid to rest in the family plot. Sisters from Detroit, Mich, came to the funeral to bid their last farewell. May she receive the award she richly deserves in heaven.

circle of our members. First was the wedding of the second daughter of our secretary Olga and her husband Ed Ancel. Nadine became the wife of Michael Damitz of New York who is employed in Chicago. Nadine will continue her studies at Loyola Univ. School of Nursing until her graduation this summer. Michael’s mother and father and many other relatives flew in to Joliet to attend the wedding and the reception which followed at the Chandelier Room of the Rialto Theater. It was a day to remember!

We wish a very happy New Year to the Supreme Board and to our Spiritual Director. May the New Year, God willing, be prosperous and bring peace among nations which is everyone’s desire. 1972 is in the past, but let us not forget all the blessings we received and we owe our thanksgiving to God for all of them.
The Dawn Choral Group Concert of
Nov. 26th was a big success; it was just beautiful. The gowns the singers wore looked beautiful and their voices blended in the most pleasant program of songs. They sang from their hearts and the Slovenian songs are unbeatable. We are proud of the ladies and our president, Mary Bostian who organized them. Thanks to her and to the officers and members of the Dawn Choral Group.
Let us pray for our sick members, Josephine Kovacich had a heart attack and her father was hospitalized at the same time. A. Chinchar is ill and Mary Bratkovich. Rev. Fr. Celes-nik had surgery at Charity Hospital.
Our sympathy to Mrs. Mah who lost her husband. May he rest in peace.
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. John Jevec. In October their celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary; surprising them was her sister, Mrs. Esther Garbincus. We were happy to see Mr. & Mrs. Jevec dancing to a special number prayed for them at the Combined Branches Recognition Dinner Dance on Oct. 29th. We wish them many more years of happiness. Josephine Jevec and Esther Garbincus are our new members.
In closing, let us start the new year right by keeping our dues paid up to make it a lot easier for the secretary this year. She has a big job and it could be easier with your cooperation. May God bless all and please write to me or call me with your news items for Zarja. 481-3437. Happy New Year to All!

MINUTES OF ILLINOIS-INDIANA STATE CONVENTION
HELD AT LA SALLE, ILL. OCT. 1, 1972
All 116 Members, guests attended 12:00 O’clock MASS at the beautiful baroque-styled church in La Salle, III. The celebrant of the mass was the Reverend MICHAEL ZELEZNIKAR, Pastor. The Choir of St. Roch’s Parish sang the hymns in Slovenian.
After mass we all proceeded to the school auditorium, for dinner and the business meeting.
At about 2:30 P.M., Anne Lustig our State President, opened the Convention with a prayer in English.
First speaker on the program, introduced by our chair-lady, was La Salle's Mayor Al Gunia and his wife. Mayor Gunia warmly weilcomed the Slovenian Women's Uninn and spoke of his close association with the Slovenian people of St. Roch’s Parish and his fond friendship with Father Železnikar.
A message was received from our Honorary President MARIE PRISLAND, wishing the Delegates of HI. and Ind. a successful! Convention, which was read in English by State President, Anne Lustig in Slovenian, by National Secretary Fanika Humar. Ohio-Michigan President Mary Bos-tian, also conveyed her well-wishes. Both messages were gratefully received by the ladies of the convention.
Father Železnikar was introduced as the next speaker, he was warmly applauded as his sermon in church, was well-received and appreciated. His theme was "Join Slovenian Women’s Union, to perpetuate the Slovenian culture its good doings, and setting of good morals for our youth", and smiiling added, "good cooking, too”, then mentioning, Woman’s Glory Cook Book, published by Slovenian Women’s Union.
Father Mike, as he is more familiarly known, said La Salle could triple its membership of Br. 24 by next year if every lady brought in 2 new members. He also offered to pay the dues of any lady who could not afford to join. (Received a big hand of applause for that.) But that advice could go for all other branches too. Father Mike also mentioned that this day, Oct. 1st., was his 81st Birthday. At the end of his speech which was loudly applauded, he received a standing ovation and the ladies sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to his 81 young years.
Chairlady thanked Father for his encouraging words.
Father Fitzsimmons, Ass’t Pastor of St. Roch’s was then asked to say a few words. Father Fitzsimmons complimented the	Slovenian Women’s Union and	their	good works
and said that sometimes he wished he	was	Slovenian, too.

This year was her 20th year as Editor in Chief of Zarja. Congratulations Corinne, from your avid readers. Your efforts are superb and greatly appreciated. (And my thanks to you for your help in making Zarja truly our S.W.U. voice, C.L.)
Corinne complimented Father Mike on his uplifting Sermon in Slovenian and invigorating speech on the recruiting of new members for our Slovenian Women’s Union. She also said what we all wanted to say, Thank you Father Michael, for the beautiful mass and the resplendent singing in Slovenian by the St. Roch’s Choir, which was something to behold and our hearts were filled with gratitude.
Our Editor further spoke on FRATERNALISM, and the dire need of it today.
The new PROJECT for S.W.U., this year will support for SLOVENIOUM, new Priest’s College and Home in Rome, for the education of Slovenian Priests, such as was the CHAPEL OF MARIA POMAGAJ, in Washington, D.C., and now also the Canonization of Bishop Baraga. All these efforts will help us retain our Slovenian identity.
In her thoughtfulness Corinne honored ANGELA STRU-KEL, the late Secretary of Branch No. 24, La Salle, who worked hard and diligently with her Branch Officers for the progress of S.W.U. She said also we must not forget our older members, who were the backbone of our organizator., which brought us to the success we enjoy today.
Our Editor introduced some of the men present including Mr. Louis Zefran, and at this point Father Michael, asked for the floor, to tell us that he was confirmation sponsor for Mr. Zefran, at St. Stephen’s Parish, some years ago. Fr. Mike continued with a praise for his parish choir, and then introduced us to RONALD VITEK, the GOURMET cook, who prepared the delicious dinner, with the help of some parish ladies. Father said his personal services were donated to Branch 24. (Tremendous applause.) Who could top that, even to the hot apple strudel and poticas awaiting each one at their dinner plate? The tables were beautifully decorated, the dinner was buffet style and ample for everyone. The new school hall is ideal for any Parish to enjoy and use for any such occasion.
FANIKA HUMAR, National! Secretary was the next speaker on the agenda. Mrs. Humar spoke of her pleasure of working with Slovenian Women's Union and thanked Fr. Mike for his keen interest in promoting our membership. Our National Secretary proceeded in giving us a brief history on how the first Democracy, established by Slovenes In Carinthia, (Austria), in the 9th Century was fashioned into our own Democracy of the United States by THOMAS J’EFFERSON, who had read an account of how the Duke of Carinthia, had devested himself of his Royalty, to become a Commoner amongst his peasant subjects, so to help them rule themselves. These facts were taken from a book writen by Prof. J’oze Felicijan.
Mrs. Humar told us of her assignment to the State Convention in Denver, Colorado, and the progress they were making there. Also told us about how very thankful people were to SLOVENIAN WOMENS UNION, for the leadership they assumed in the completion of MARIA POMAGAJ CHAPEL, in Washington, D.C. of its splendid beauty
ind how many people are making Pilgrimages there ever> year.
Our National Secretary told us also of the PROJECT being sponsored by Branch No. 2, Chicago, on Feb. 4th,
1973,	at Orchestra Hall. A Group of Slovenian University Students will perform. This Group of Singers and dancers Wiill well-deserve to appear at Orchestra Hall. Mrs. Humar, ended her talk with a short speech in Slovenian, which was very well received by the convention body.

iaufo hau?H Choral (jrcup Concert
(The following is a translation from a report in Slovenian daily newspaper. Ameriška Domovina, signed M.D. printed Nov. 30, 1972.
In reprinting it also in Slovenian original, we extended our thanks to M.D. for the kind words and tribute to the Dawn Singing Group)
All too seldom can we enjoy cultural presentations any more — for some reason these events are waning even tho there are many cultural organizations still in existence. So, it was an especially happy Sunday afternoon (Nov. 26th) when I had the opportunity of attending the concert of the Slovenian Women’s Union DAWN CHORAL GROUP at Rechar Ave. Hall. Altho the weather was inclement, the hall was soon filled.
I will not write a critical report on this concert for I do not feel qualified, but I would like to tell you of my pleasant memories on a lovely cultural afternoon.
First of all, it was pleasant to see such a large crowd of people in the hall and then, to see the stage curtain open to the sight of 29 ladies in beautiful light-colored long gowns. Really a beautiful sight! After a short welcome by the president (Mrs. Mitzi Globokar) the concert began with the American National Anthemn followed by seven Slovenian folk and art songs. The Ice was broken immediately with the hearty rendition of the anthemn followed by each song, better and better. In the second half of the program, the ladies again provided a beautiful sight being dressed in the Slovenian maiden’s native costume, that made them look like a bouquet of colorful flowers filling the stage. In this act they sang 10 songs and enthusiasm for the program grew with each song.
The selections of the songs was very well done and the pronunciation of the Slovenian words very clear, really most enjoyable for the listener. In both parts of the program there were duets, solos and quintettes among which we heard the voices of Mmes. Carolyn Budan, Olga Klanchar, Mimi Režonja, Tillie Špehar, Paula Dolinar, Helen Gaser and Juliana Gorenšek. They did their parts excellently to the fullest extent; it seemed each was> trying to do better than the other. This made the audience respond with great applause after each act and many encores were given before the audience was satisfied.
Accompanist for the concert was Miss Metka Gorenšek who is a real virtuoso. Congratulations.
The spirit behind such a concert certainly is the director of the choral group and this man is our well known soloist-tenor and cultural worker, Franc Gorenšek who is also the director of “Korotan” mixed chorus. Thank God that we have such people among us. He had the singers right on the tip of bis baton, and they followed his every direction exactly. The director’s hand seems to hold a magic wand — so it seemed then!
After the concert the ladles prepared a social evening which was very pleasant for all. It was there that I learned that many of the singers are not profficient in Slovenian spoken language but they do make every effort to learn the lyrics properly. This means that besides their efforts to sing well, the ladies also work hard to see that our language will not fade and for this, they deserve our further recognition.
Therefore in conclusion, I wish to extend to the singers the wish that they will stubbornly hold on to the achievements they have earned and that they will continue in this work. To you, dear Franček,
I wish a full measure of good will, patience and iron nerves, that you will enrich us with continued concerts. And to all, thank you for a lovely cultural event.
M Cont’d:	pecially the one of "Sveti Roch” above the altar, and the
1	beautiful to look upon Mural painted in Oil of MARIA PO-
N	MAGAJ, a true Replica of the one that graces the Ohapel
U	in Washington, D.C. Your auditorium and school are some-
T	thing to behold. Thank you La Salle and Father Železnikar,
E	for a true Slovenian Convention Day.
S	Convention ended with a Prayer lead in Slovenian by
ojr National Secretary Fanika Humar.

The Slovenian Women's Union Br. 33 October meeting was a very brief and to the point evening. We were now in the process of electing new officers for the coming year. President Frances Blatnik retired at the end of 1972. A Penny Social is planned for our December meeting to co-incide with our usual Christmas meeting.
We wish to send our monthly greetings to those members ill in the hospitals and at home, to our shut-in's and those in nursing homes. We send our best wishes and thoughts and prayers.
At this time we would like to send all our members of the Slovenian Women’s Union wishes for the coming new year as a Happy and Prosperous one. Hope your Christmas was a more blessed one by making it a happier one for those less fortunate. We suggested so many ways to do this: Visit a shut-in, make that 'long put off phone call to a lonely person, send a card to some one in the hospital or nursing home. There is so much one can do with so little effort and I know personally it is so greatly appreciated.
“Kindness is infectious. One kind action leads to another. Our example is followed. This is the greatest work which kindness does to others-that it makes them kind themselves”.
A JOYOUS SEASON TO ALL!

It was our yearly meeting and election of officers. We had a nice group and that’s always nice to see.

Guests at Frank Yankovic’s Steak House recently were Marie Dolinar and her dear friend from Los Angeles Mrs. Mary Benedict.
Never-to-be-forgotten thrill and remembrance of their trip to America from Slovenija, my aunt Gospa Ivana Gliha and my cousins write that their excursion to Niagara Falls was the most outstanding and “se toplo zah-valejo" to my brother Milan A. Jak-sic for taking them. Friends and relatives to whom they relate about the great FaHls and are in doubt that there is such a marvel they suggest viewing the pictures that were taken by Milan during their stay on the Canadian side. He took them on the “Maid of the Mist” ride, practically unheard of in Slovenija and treated them to a fabulous dinner at the Sky'on, another very unusual place. We Americans love to visit Europe and everything it offers and sometimes we are not aware that the Europeans can also appreciate and see many wonderful sites on our own continent. This was a very emotional reunion with my aunt, 73 yrs. old, and my mother, Teresa Fink, 84 yrs. old who hadn't seen each other in forty-nine years. Pecp'e were very generous and donated a nice sum of money to my aunt to give to Zupnik Jakos "za novo žužembersko cerkev”.

In spite of a very nasty autumn night a great number of members came to our November meeting which proved to be a very exceptional evening. Tillie Ramos, a cousin to Frances Sietz and Carole Traven was our guest singer and her piano accompaniest was Dorthy Lokar. Tillie captured everyone’s heart by her revelation of her true-life experiences and then sang with her very expressive voice her gratefulness to Jesus Christ, her Saviour. We were truly en rapport with her.
We were very happy to see Ann Kristoff back with us after undergoing such serious surgery.
Get well wishes to all our sick members among them Angela Yamish and Frances Stariha.
Birthday Greetings to all who will celebrate in January.

At Our November meeting, Mayme Sporich entertained the group at her home. Assisting was her daughter, Rose Yurtin and co-hostess, Josephine Kasson.
We had a lengthy business meeting and election of officers was held. It was a rather sad time because our beloved president would not take office for the next year. Rose Raeher has served the Union since the 1940’s as president and has truly kept our group together. She would always call to remind the sisters about the meetings, knowing that in this way they would surely attend. When a member dropped out for petty reasons, this deeply hurt her. So, to you, Momma, and our resigning president, we love you dearly and appreciate all you have done for Br. 54. There will never be a "girl like you”, again! (Amen. C.L.).
Our new officers are: President, Josephine Kasson; Vice-President, Mary Waltko; Rec. Secretary, Mayme Sporich; Sec.-Tres. Joanne Ponikvar; Sgt.-at Arms, Elsie Persin; Auditors Vic Zuga and Mary Ponikvar. We voted to give a Christmas check to St. James church.
Mary Ponikvar made a lovely pillow and it brought in a nice sum for the treasury. It was Mayme who was the lucky one.
Our Feb. 20th meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Elsie Persin, 546 Belvedere N.E. So, see you then. Happy New Year and Happy St. Valentine’s to you all. Get well and see you all soon.

Our hearts were all deeply saddened by the loss of our "Teta” Mary Rivachuk who died November 18,
1972,	at the age of 79. Mrs. Rivachuk hadn’t been too well the last several years, with various trips to the hospital, but the good Lord had seen fit that she recovered up until this time when he called her for his own. She was involved in an absolutely senseless car accident a few weeks ago and had to be hospitalized, but had returned home and seemed to be doing fine, but then gone all of a sudden. We shall all miss her very much and think and pray for her often. Mrs. Rivachuk’s family were all very grateful for those members of our branch who were able to attend the services as well as reciting the rosary. May she rest in peace!

Evidently this guild raises money some way or other to purchase materials necessary for the needed items used at the home, and they will deliver the already cut out articles, plus thread to whosoever has the time and would enjoy doing some charitable work within their own homes.

December 3 was the time of our Christmas party at Krain Hall. With the first snow fall of the winter, there was a real feeling of Christmas in the air. Fourteen families and several guests gathered for the afternoon of fun; toped off with a visit from Santa Claus. Some of our Junior members presented their talents which the adult membership enjoyed very much. The
Pot Luck dinner offered many traditional dishes we always look forward to this time of the year. Dancing was enjoyed by all to the accordian music of Jerry Stienbrenner and Gabreil Varga r.
The business meeting of December was postponed until Dec. 7, at the home of Mrs. Mary Mihelich in Enum-claw. All members were encouraged to attend. We hope to have some new members to introduce and want all the members to meet them at a meeting soon.

A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL! May the year 1973 bring Peace to the World and Happiness to our hearts!
HAPPINESS
Everyone wants to be happy, but happiness just doesn’t happen! It takes someone with something to bring us happiness.
By being thoughtful and friendiy, kind and pleasant we will bring happiness to others and to ourselves.
If a friend is sick and we can’t visit her or him, send a card which will bring happiness. How many people we do know, especially those who are alone in the world, who would appreciate a phone call or a warm greeting sent by a note in the. mail.
In the past a lot of good was left undone because we forgot and never acted. In the future let’s be more thoughtful and carry out our good intentions which will make others happy.
It’s a friendly word or smile that adds happiness to life and makes if more worthwile.
A word of praise, when praise is due, often brings happiness but some people are so stingy with praise you’d think there was a tax on it.
*
DO NOT WORRY! Worry it like a rocking chair! It gives you something to do, but does not get you anywhere.
*
A PINT of good example is worth a gallon of advice!
*
SELF DISCIPLINE is the main factor in building characters.
*
I’ve found the following, very appropriate poem, in the CYO publication:
*
ARE THE KIDS REALLY TO BLAME?
We read in the paper, we hear on the air
Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere;
We sigh and we say, as we notice the trend,
This young generation; . . . where will it end?
But can we be sure it’s their fault alone?
Too much money to spend, too much idle time;
Too many movies of passion and crime;
Too many books not fit to be read!
Too much evil in what they hear said.
Too many kids encouraged to roam,
Too many parents who don’t stay at home.
Youth doesn’t make movies;
They don’t write the books
That paint the gay pictures of gangsters and crooks.
They don’t make the liquor, they don’t run the bars;
They don’t make the laws and they don’t make the cars.
They don’t make the drugs that idle the brain.
It’s all done by older folks, greedy for gain.
'n how many cases, we find to be true . . .
The label “Delinquency” . . . fits older folks, too!

Our recommendation, that every supreme officer and every delegate enroll at least three new members as a gift to the convention, has not echoed in the ZARJA. It would be very nice if Zveza leader, Mrs. Antonia Turek, our National President, would pick up the torch and carry on with other supreme officers to follow. Their inspiration ■wjill do wonders for the campaign. It is our duty to work for the organization we represent.

The holidays are over and the New Year of 1973 has arrived. Ic is going to be an important year as the National Convention will be this year in Chicago in May.
A Convention carries responsibilities not only for the National Officers but all the branch officers and members and delegates as well.
There is a special membership drive on now in connection with the Convention which in small cities is hard to attain, but we must try to fill the places of the departed with new members.
A letter of invitation from the Home Office was read at the last meeting inviting us to attend the concert being given by the Academic Choir of Ljubljana, a company of 74 singers and dancers in native costume, Sunday, Feb. 4th at Chicago's most beautiful Orchestra Hall. Four officers and two members agreed to go and of course, there is still time for more of you to join us. Whoever loves good singing and group dancing will not regret attending this affair and getting acquainted with this wonderful group of young people from Slovenia.
On the sick list is Mary Cenkar who had some surgery at St. Mary’s Hospital. She is at home now and we hope she is feeling better.
The branch Christmas party was planned at Persons Nightclub with dinner and good company of our mem-mers and friends.
As decided last year, there will be no meetings in January or February in favor of our loyal senior members. The first meeting of 1973 will be in March.
In closing, I wish A Happy New
Year! to all National Officers, to Rev. Claude Okorn and all sisters in the organization.
May God shower his blessing and give us all good health throughout the year. Fraternally yours.

It was most gratifying to see 33 members at our November meeting, especially the day after the scene of tragedy and death when the I.C. train crashed and with a twinkling of an eye the whole scene was transformed into a spectacle of horror. Rather than dwell too long much on tragedy, it is far more important to focus attention on the two members who escaped tho they witnessed the accident, Chestra Graezyk and Helen Zef-fero. Thank god they are well and with us today.
Special prayers were said for those who sustained injuries and are recovering.
Due to the absence of our nominating committee we were unable to have our selection of new officers. The nominations will take place at our February meeting. Never-the-less, after the portion of our business was disposed of, we had on our program, Pat O’Connel of the Youth Division of the Chicago Police Department did a superb job in explaining all the functions of how to protect yourself. I can say sincerely that we have just listened to one of the most constructive and thoughtful speeches on a subject of major interest which seems to be prevalent these days.
The social followed after the pro-
gram, the hostessess being Virginia Kwiatkowski, Irene Evans, Ann Sertich, and Mary Ann Sabol who served the goodies donated by the following birthday celebrants: Helen Price, Frances Seabloom, Irene Evans, Virginia Kwiatkowski, Mary Ann Sambol, and Micha-lene Pujdak. The following cash donations are: ($2) Ljuba Trgovac, and Antonia Mrkobrada, ($1) Marge Innis, Mary Duich, and Matilda Stevens, We were happy to extend the hand of welcome to Michalene Pujdak who has joined our group. Perhaps you have a friend or a neighbor who would like to join our group, we would be happy to have them.
In keeping with the theme of our meeting turkeys were given to winners: Carrie Plebanski, Helen Price and Ann Sertich. We realized $27.75 from this project. Many thanks to all of you!
Get-well-wishes to Emma Yergovich who suffered a broken toe after a fall; to Helen Zeffero who sustained injuries during the I.C. crash, was admitted to a hospital and released immediately. To all of our ailing members and their families, our prayers!
Our deepest sympathy to Manda Nosich on the death of her beloved husband Steve; his passing will leave an unfiilable void in the minds and hearts of all those who knew him.

In the book, “MAYO, The Story of my Family and my Career” by Dr. Charles W. Mayo he advises: “Some of the suggestions to be made are simple: eat more slowly, avoid extreme temperatures of food and beverages; review eating, sleeping and working habits”.
Whether home-crafted or purchased ready-made, acrylic is the leading fiber for sweaters. It is preferred for its light weight, warmth, economy, rich, true colors and woollike touch, as well as its ability to take washing without shrinking.
When ilabel instructions are for hand washing, use warm suds, squeeze gently through the knit. Never twist or wring. Rinse in tepid water. Roll in a towel to remove excess moisture or put through drying spin cycle in automatic washer. Spread on a flat surface to dry. Bulky acrylic knits may be placed over a drying rack for quicker drying.
When machine washing is permissible, use warm, not hot water. Air dry, or tumble dry, at a medium to low temperature. Always wash whites alone, never with colors.

Ann Landers defines success as follows:
"To laugh often and much; to win the affection of children; to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived”.
May 1973 bring you much happiness. Fondly,

When I see him I feel like I want to throw a warm blanket on him, the poor little kid! He surely is born with a lot of troubles to solve and no wonder he turns into an old man by the end of the year.
Our rains have started early this year; all that means to me me is early mushrooms. Now I feel sorry for my friends back east who are shoveling snow off their sidewalks while I’m shoveling mushrooms off my plate!

A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to each and every one of you. May God bless you with the best of health and happiness in this new year of 1973.
Our December meeting was opened by our gracious president with a prayer. It was at her home that we met. She was assisted by Jenny Bole as co-hostess. There were 17 members attending. My pleas for a better attendance go unheeded so those that don’t show up miss our on a lot of fun and news.
I am happy to report our delegates enjoyed themselves at the State Convention in Cleveland. A report on this was given at the December meeting. Please remember to be present for the meeting to be held at the home of Angeline Jenkins, 17362 Barlow. It is very important.
Our kitty was fattened by our generous sisters. There were 2 projects. The first prize went to Catherine Mu-sick which was a cute Christmas pin. The second prize went to Angeline Vevtich - a nice box of lemon shaped soap.
We were happy to see Stephanie Hometz and Frances Hostnik. We also had a very welcomed guest, Pauline Bahor from Fontana, Calf. She is the sister of Angeline Yevtich.
We would like at this time to extend our deepest sympathy to Stephanie Hometz on the loss of her Mother-in-law. May her soul rest in peace. We would also like to wish a speedy and lasting recovery to Mary Golias mother. Our prayers are with her.
We would like to wish Betty Kares and her mother, Zorka Maisel much hapiness in their new home. We miss you.
See you aN at Angie’s on the 14th. No excuses please! God bless all of you!

FROM THE EDITOR
With a hearty greeting for the New Year, I wish all members good health and good work in 1973! We have a large task ahead of us and hope God will bless all our efforts to achieve success for S.W.U.
Since it is the first month of the year, allow me to make a few observations about our ZARJA to those who produce it, namely, the writers. Each and every issue comes off the press as a new "baby” so to speak -never the same way twice and always packed with current news and views of our members. I hope we can continue in this way for many years to come, not only in
1973.	It will take the hard work of all of you who prepare copy and send it in to the Editor and for this I thank you in advance.
I hope it will be easier this year to observe the deadline of the 1st of each month so we can try to get ZARJA in your homes in the first week of the following month. I appeal to all reporters to watch that calendar and send in your articles early - with news of your branch and all your doings reported well enough in advance so that by the time it reaches print, it is still current.
Anyone needing envelopes is asked to write for them, as we will gladly oblige the reporters who need them, but feel it is duplicating the same supplies in many cases.
You know your subject matter - it is stilil necessary to give full focus on the events of our branches, but any news of our members and their families is always welcome as is news of the communities in which we live and things of interest to our nationality.
The length of your reports is to be one printed column - this to give us more flexibility in preparing each issue with the greatest number of writers. If possible, please type it out. If handwritten, will you print out the names please?
Another matter that is often confusing and that is the need for correct addresses of our members. Mailing conditions and high cost of postage make this a primary concern. Please notify the ZARJA office of any changes in your address before you move if possible and correct any incorrect address at once.
We will be grateful for your understanding of all these matters and hope hope that this month's column will suffice to explain the Editor’s viewpoint to all.
Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR! A BLESSED AND HEALTHY ONE!

Pretečeno poletje je iz Washingtona, D.C. po telefonu klicala Miss Christine Wagner, tajnica urada za narodnostne skupine zbrane po Republikanski stranki, (National Republican Heritage Groups Council). Tajnica je sporočila, da njih urad planira izdati kuharsko knjigo, v kateri bodo obljavljena priljubljena jedila vseli v Ameriki živečih narodnosti. Tudi nekateri senatorji in kongresniki, iz generacije ameriških priseljencev, bodo za knjigo prispevali svoja priljubljena jedila. Radi bi imeli navodilo tudi za' slovenski obed in pa slike narodnih noš ter poročilo o kulturnem udejstvovanju in o domači obrti Slovencev v Ameriki — je tajnica zahteve nanizala. Ali bi hotela pri tem sodelovati, je vprašala. Razume se, da sem takoj1 obljubila, ker če bodo v knjigi omenjene druge narodnosti, slovenske nikakor ne sme manjkati. Poslala sem zaželjena navodila, slike in nekaj poročil o udejstvovanju naše slovenske — ameriške narodnosti.
Knjiga je izšla. Nosi naslov:
National Republican Heritage Groups Council WORLD COOKBOOK
Knjiga je umetniško dekorirana in obsega 230 stra ni. Navaja priljubljena jedila in narodne noše 32 narodnosti živečih v Ameriki; zastopani so Hrvati, Srbi in Slovenci.
Kuharska navodila so za knjigo prispevale: gospa Nixon, soproga ameriškega predsednika, njuni dve hčerki Julia in Tricia ter gospa Agnew, žena ameriškega podpredsednika. — Sledijo priljubljena jedila 41 senatorjev in 135 kongresnikov z njih fotografijami in kratkim opisom njih dejavnosti v važnih oddelkih ameriške vlade. Med kongresniki sta dva Slovenca: Philip E. Ruppe iz Michigana in Joseph Skubitz iz Kansasa. Dalje je v knjigi objavljenih 109 svetovnih narodnosti s svojimi priljubljenimi jedili. — Knjiga je znamenita! Daje nam vpogled, koliko narodov živi na svetu in kakšen okus imajo.
Pod krasno sliko dveh slovenskih mladenk v narodni noši; je v knjigi podano povprečno slovensko kosilo: Kokošja ali goveja juha, z domačimi rezanci Pohana piška, s praženim krompirjem Solata, začinjena z oljem in jesihom Fižol v stročju Potica, flancati ali krofi
Priobčeno je navodilo za orehovo potico in flancate.
Knjiga stane $4.50 ter 35 centov zn poštnino in pakiranje. Naroča se pri omenjenem uradu v Washing-tonu. Če ustrežem, sprejmem naročilo tudi jaz.
Zvezina članica Uršula Škraba iz Gheen, Minnesota, bivša učiteljica in cerkvena organistinja nad 50 let, mi je dostavila kuharsko knjigo izdano v Ljubljani leta 1878, z željo, naj bi jo Zveza hranila. Knjiga je bila last njene matere Uršule Babieh, rojene v vasi Kamnik blizu Preserja. Gospa Babich, dekliško ime Mazi, je umrla 13. septembra 1950, v starosti 93 let. Bila je ožja sorodnica gospe Antonije Grdina, soproge velikega in zaslužnega, po vsej slovenski Ameriki znanega narodnjaka, Antona Grdine v Clevelandu.
Naslovna stran knjige je sledeča:
Slovenska KUHARICA ali NA VOD
okusno kuhati navadna in imenitna jedila Spisala in na svitlo dala Magdalena Pleiweis Drugi pomnoženi natis.
V Ljubljani leta 1878 Založnik H. Ničman
V	Predgovoru urednica piše: “Vse se mika in lika na svetu — vse napreduje; tudi kuharija ne sme zaostati za umetnijami, ki so njene sestrice. Podajem vam bukve, ki vsebujejo 932 imenitnih in neimenitnih skozi in skozi okusnih, tečnih, zdravih in kar le moč varčno napravljenih jedil, in to po načinu, katerga mi je popolnoma poterdila mnogoletna lastna izkušnja pri visoki gospodi. Te bukve so pisane razumljivo tudi neuče-nim kuharicam, t.j. prav po domače. Dobro vem, da slovenski pisatelji v čistejšem slovenskem jeziku pišejo svoje knjige, priverjena pa sem, da kuharskim bukvam še ne zadostuje zmožnost v jeziku, kajti kdor sam ne zna kuhati, se mu lahko pripeti, da ima jed, v najlepši besedi popisana, vso drugačno podobo v bukvah, vso drugačno pa na mizi”.
Kdaj je bila knjiga prvikrat izdana urednica ne omenja.
Knjiga je razdjeljena v 26 oddelkov in vsebuje vse, kar zahteva dobra kuhinja in jedila od juh do mesa, omak in peciva. Navedeni so nasveti kako najdalje ohraniti sočivje in svinjsko mast. Knjigo skončuje 14 jedilnih listov za razne gostije. Za svatbe je sestavljen list kot sledi:
1. Močna juha v skledicah, čista.
2. Prekajeno prešičje stegno in jezik s hrenom.
3. Galantin z genoveško polivko.
4. Jerebice s pošrekanimi karfijolami.
5. Serna ali gams z laško solato.
6. Kopun z žolico.
7. Fazan s pomarančami.
8. Zmerzlina in punč alla glas.
9. Četvera torta 10. Sladkarije.
Zanimalo me je navodilo “PIJANI KMET”, ki ga iz knjige navajam:
“Obribaj eni veliki žemlji skorjo, na tenke šnite jo zreži, v maslu opohaj in na papir deni, da se odcedi, zavri eno šalico črnega vina z gvircem, dodeni limonovo lupinico in pocukraj; s tem polij šnite in pusti, da se dobro napoje in narastejo; zreži na ravno tako tenke šnite olupljena dobra jabolka, dobro jih pocukraj, v moki povaljaj in v maslu opohaj. Pomaži pekačo z maslom, obloži jo z maslenim testom, da krog in krog 3 prste čez visi, deni notri eno vrsto jabolk, sem in tja kakor
grah velike kupčeke zalazna, položi navrh eno vrsto napojenih šnit, še malo pocukraj, potem pa spet jabolka, tako delaj dokler imaš kaj; potem testo zapogni, po vrhu z maslom pomaži in speci, potem stresi na taler, potresi s cukrom, pa daj 3-4 osebam na mizo.”
Kuharsko knjigo gospe Babich sem poslala na Zve-zin glavni urad s pošiljko mojih knjig, katere sem darovala Zvezi kot pričetek knjižnice, kadar pride do tega.

Neizprosna smrt je zarezala neizbrisno vrzel v naše vrste, ko nas je v oktobru 1972 za večno za-zapustila MRS. FRANCES GLOBOKAR.
Pokojna je biila vse njeno odraslo življenje tesno povezana z delovanjem njej tako ljuibe SŽZ. Bila je glavna podpredsednica 6 let od 1955 do 1960 in vsa leta je bila aktivna pri njeni podružnici št. 14, bodisi kot predsednica in nato kot večletna nadzornica, toda vedno pripravljena pomagati kjerkoli je bilo potrebno.
Njeno srce je ljubilo slovensko petje, zato je razumljivo, da je bila ena izmed soustanoviteljic pevskega zbora Dawn pri katerem je tudi sama pela.
Njen soprog John je preminul pred kratkim. Za njo žaluje sin Vincent in sinaha Mitzi z družino. Si-naha Mitzi Globokar je tudi predsednica zbora Dawn. Družini izrekamo naše globoko sožalje. Naj bo zvesti in neutrudljivi delavki za napredek SŽZ lahka ameriška gruda. Med nami ji bo ohranjen vedno najlepši spomin. Njena dobra dela bodo ostaila trajno med nami.	CORINNE	LESKOVAR
KONCERT ZBORA DAWN: Hulturna Hronika flineriSke fcwctine je objavila haMecthje poročilo:
CLEVELAND, O.—Vse bolj redke so kulturne prireditve med nami. Vsa stvar nekako peša, da ne rečem izumira. Od množice kulturnih društev med nami jih je šlo že kar precej v pozabo. Zato je človek tem bolj vesel teh, ki še kažejo življenjsko silo v sebi.
Preteklo nedeljo popoldne so ljudje kljub slabemu vremenu napolnili dvorano v Slov. društvenem domu na Re-cher Ave. Kako tudi ne, saj je Slovenska ženska zveza s svojo pevsko skupino, imenovano "DAWN CHORAL GROUP", vabila že več tednov na pevski koncert.
Ne mislim tu pisati kritike, za to bi biil poklican kak pevski mojster, kar Pa jaz nisem, čeprav včasih tudi zapojem. Rad bi le na kratko opisal prijetno kulturno popoldne.
Vesel sem bil ob pogledu na polno dvorano, vesel, da je še toliko kulturno zavednih Slovencev. Ko se odpre zastor, se nam na odru predstavi 29 dam v lepih svetlih, dolgih oblekah. Res krasen pogled! Predsednica zbora občinstvo kratko pozdravi in pojasni, da je to že peti zborov koncert.
Koncert začno z ameriško himno,
nakar sledi 7 narodnih in umetnih pesmi do odmora. Led je bil prebit že pri himni, navdušenje v dvorani pa je raslo z vsako pesmijo. V drugem delu je že sam pogled na oder gledalce navdušil, ker je izgledal kot “pušeljc”. Po stari navadi se ženske rade preoblačijo, to pot so se v dendelne. Kar tekmovale so, katera bo lepša in bolj “fejst”. V tem delu so zapele še 10 pesmi in navdušenje se je kar stopnjevalo. Petje je bilo lepo ubrano in izgovorjava razločna, res pravi užitek za ušesa. Oba dela so poživeli s soli, duetom in kvintetom, pri katerih so sodelovale ge. in gdč.: Caroline Bu-dan, Olga Klancher, Mimi Režonja, Til-lie Špehar, Pavla Dolinar, Helena Ga-ser in Juliana Gorenšek. Odlično so vse rešile vsaka svojo vlogo, saj so se kar kosale, katera bo boljša, za kar so jih gledalci nagrajali z navdušenim ploskanjem in je bilo treba več pesmi ponoviti.
Na klavir je spremljala gdč. Metka Gorenšek, ki je že pravi virtuoz - čestitam!
Duša vsakega takega koncerta je seveda pevovodja — dirigent. To pot
je bil zopet nam vsem dobro poznani solist-tenorist in kulturni garač inž. Franček Gorenšek, ki je istočasno tudi pevovodja zbora ‘Korotan’. Hvala Bogu, da so še taki kulturni garači med nami. Imel je zbor na vrvici, vse so sledile njegovim gibom. Dirigentova roka je res čarobna palica — v nedeljo je bila.
Po koncertu ni manjkalo dobre volje in zabave. Tu sem tudi v pogovoru zvedel, da več pevk ne obvlada slovenščine, da jim je treba besede razložiti in naučiti pravilno izgovarjati, čemur sem se zelo čudil, kajti med petjom se to ni opazilo, temveč je bila izgovorjava lepa in pravilna. To pomeni, da je bilo poleg dobre volje tudi ogromno trdega dela, zato pa tudi uspeh ni izostal, za kar Vam vse priznanje.
Zato bi za zaključek želel pevkam, da bi s trmasto vztrajnostjo nadaljevale začeto delo. Tebi, dragi Franček, pa želim polno mero dobre volje, potrpljenja in železne živce, pa vem, da nas boš še obogatil z novimi koncerti. Vsem skupaj pa lep boglonaj za lep kulturni dogodek.	M.D.
FANIKA HUMAR:
prečne /h uA petne lete 1973!
Za nami je še kar plodno leto, ki je pravkar minilo. Kako bomo polagale račune za prihodnje leto?
Vsem članicam in odbornicam, ki ste izvrševale svoje dolžnosti v minulem letu, se lepo zahvaljujem! Posebno zahvalo dolgujem tajnicam podružnic, ki ste tako redno pošiljale članarino in vršile vse posle, katere vam nalaga vaš urad. Nekatere, ki niste bile preveč natančne pa prosim: naredimo sklep, da bo v novem letu bolj teklo po tiru naših pravil!
Še prav posebej hvala tistim, ki ste med letom	natj0rnestile svojo bolno tajnico ali drugo odbornico	vaše
podružnice. Dobro mi je znano, koliko truda je potrebno,	da se	človek znajde v tujih čevljih. Boglonaj vsem!
Iskrene čestitke novoizvoljenim odbornicam! Posebno dobro došlico tistim, ki ste letos prvič izvoljene, da zastopate svoje drage sestre. S častjo, katero	so vam članice izkazaile pri	izvolitvi, ste vse prejele tudi	dolžnosti.	Prosimo Boga, da bi te dolžnosti skupno, v slogi, medsebojnem spoštovanju	in ljubezni uspešno izvrševale	skozi vse	leto!
Nekaj osvežitev spomina najbolj perečih točk v našem poslovanju za odbornice in vse članice:
1).—Preglejte plačilne knjižice, če je vaša članarina poravnana. Ali veste, da mnoge tajnice zalagajo iz svojega žepa za vas? Od vašega rednega plačevanja je odvisno redno poslovanje tajnice.
2).—Je dedič, ki je na vaši polici še med živimi?	želite	spremeniti dediča? Sporočite vasi tajnici!
3).—Ste se selili? Ste nam poslali nov naslov?	Moral,	bi brati pritožbe: zakaj ne dobivam Zarje! Navadno	je
odgovor ta, da nimamo točnega ali pravega	naslova. Velikokrat je naša	ljuba pošta vzrok.
4).—Vse tajnice, ki imate težave z	mesečnimi poročili, prosim:	preberite prvo stran teh poročil, ki je v obeh
jezikih in pomagalo vam bo! Bodite redne s pošiljanjem članarine, ker veste, da ne moremo izplačati nobene smrt-nine, če ni vsa članarina poravnana.
KAMPANJA!
Treba bo podeseteriti naša prizadevanja v tej kampanji, če ne želimo prinesti neuspeh v dar 16. konvenciji v Chicago. Vem, da zmoremo mnogo več, kakor je vidno do sedaj v tej kampanji.
V dobi, ko se po vseh kotih sliši glas o ženskih pravicah in napredku ženske sile, menda ja ne bomo zlezle v mišjo luknjo in čakale, da bo kar samo od sebe prišlo od nekod, kar še nismo same dosegle. Pozivam vse članice, odbornice še posebno pa bodoče delegatke za konvencijo! Storimo nekaj, da ne bomo prišle praznih rok v Chicago, ampak vsaka z velikim šopom novih imen v naši organizaciji. Naredimo sklep ob tem novem letu, da bo Ženska zveza deležna vsaj nekaj naših posebnih prizadevanj. Začnimo kar s prvim dnem v letu! Vsaka si lahko pridobi naslov “Žena leta!”
Slomšek: Nič ne pomaga se le naučiti, kar je potrebno, pa ne storiti.

Gornja pravila morajo biti upoštevana na vaših sejah januarja, februarja in marca letos. Zelo vam bom hvaležna za dosledno sodelovanje!
Zapisnik državne konvencije v Ohio
Državna konvencija SŽZ za Ohio—Mich, se je vršila dne 29. oktobra 1872 v Slovenskom Narodnom Domu na St. Clair Ave. v Clevelandu. Posebnost zborovanja je bila počastitev naše urednice Zarje, Corinne Leskovar za 20 letnico njenega urejevanja. Vse podružnice čestitajo Corinne za njeno lepo delo, katerega vrši že toliko let.
Seja je bila odprta ob pol dveh pop. z molitvijo! za dober uspeh, katero je vodila drž. preds. Mary Bosti-an. Molile smo za napredek posameznih podružnic in celotne organizacije. Fosebna važnost je bila povdarje na — pridobivanju novih članic, da nadomestimo tiste, ki so odšle k večnemu počitku.
Zelo lepo je videti polno dvorano. Udeležba je bila zelo lepa od posameznih podružnic in kar vas je man-kalo leta 1971, so dvojno nadomestile letos.
Zapisnik lanske seje je bil prebran in sprejet. Zapisnikarica, Marie Beck je bila ponovno izvoljena. (Hvala vsem!)
Nato se čitajo pismene čestitke od Mary Tomsic iz Pa., od ustanoviteljice in častne predsednice, Marie Pri-sland, dalje voščila od Anne Lustig, drž. preds. 111.—Ind., Rose Kramer, drž. preds. za Wise., Anna Pachak, drž. Preds. za Colorado.
Zastopane so odbornice naslednjih podružnic: št. 6 •— 4 članic, št. 10—5, 14—4, 15—1, 21—3, 25—4, 32—9, 40—9, 41—3, 42—4, 47—4, 49—1, 50—6, 51—7, 68—8, in 105—5.
Malo pred zaključkom seje, pa jih je prišlo kar šest iz Chicaga. Prisrčna hvala vam, ki ste prišle tako daljavo, da tudi ve počastite urednico Leskovar.
Vse podružnice se dobro pohvalijo, imajo aktivne mesečne seje, a najbolj obiskane so meseca maja in decembra, ko imajo letne veselice. Med letom pa pridejo kartne igre in prodaja peciva.
Podr. št. 32 je zgubila dobro in delavna sestro Frances Globokar. Bog ji daj večni počitek.
Št. 25 dobro napreduje. Dolgoletna, tajnica Dorothy Strniša je praznovala 65 letnico poroke, čestitke k tej visoki obletnici skupnega zakonskega življenja.
Preds. št. 50, Ann Hočevar poroča o lepi udeležbi na predstavitvenem plesu (Cotillion Ball) in v maju so imele letni piknik in najnovejši je bil “mistery trip”, kjer so potnice uganjale kam gredo; pa so kmalu ugotovile, da so bile v gosteh pri podr. št. 68 v Fairport Harbor, ki so jim stregle z okusno večerjo.
Čestitke so bile izrečene tudi Mrs. Otoničar od št. 25, ki je v teku mnogih let pridobila največ novih članic ter Jennie Feme, gl. nadzornici. S tem lahko vidimo, da ima Cleveland dosti zavednih slovenskih žen, ki so doma iz Ribniške doline in okolišnih krajev.
Mrs. Anna Zabukovec poroča mesto Ann Cook za Mladinski oddelek, da nadaljujejo z vežbalnim krožkom (baton twirling).
Mary Bostian je ponovno izvoljena za drž. preds. Ohio—Mich. Mary je neutrudljiva delavka, ki je polna novih idej, novih načrtov in upam, da bo predsedovala še mnogo let. čestitke!
Prihodnja drž. konvencija se bo vršila v oktobru 1973 združena s proslavo 40 letnice podr. št. 25.
v Seja je bila končana ob štirih z molitvijo v spomin naših umrlih sester, odbornic in neutrudljivih delavk, ki so toliko pripomogle k rasti in povzdigu naše organizacije. Okusna večerja je čakala v spodnji dvorani in lepa godba je bila že pripravljena, da se noge zavrtijo.
Naj Vas Bog blagoslovi in ohrani, da se zopet vidi-m0.	Vaša	zapisnikarica. MARIE BECK

Načrti
Za
Bodočnost
Vsak človek si zida svojo bodočnost. Mlad si jo predstavlja v vsej leipoti in dostikrat brez veliko težav. Starejši ugotavljajo v koliko so dosegli izpolnitev svojih načrtev. Tisti pa, ki se že nagibajo k zatonu ugotavljajo, da ni mogoče vsega doseči, kar si je človek zamislil in jim je hudo, da ne morejo vsega izpeljati kar so si zamislili. Velikokrat nam življenjske načrte prekrižajo življenjski dogodki, ki jih nismo pričakovali in ne predvideli. Po človeško jim pravimo usoda. Tisti pa, ki so zasidrani v Boga vejo, da je to božja Previdnost, ki vodi in ureja človeško življenje. Zavisi od človeka afli vzame v svoje načrte to postavko, da je Bog gospodar nad našim življenjem in smrtjo. Važno je, da mi skušamo usmeriti svoje načrte v sklad z božjo voljo. Pri tem pa upajmo, da smo prav usmerili svoj čolnič življenja, ko smo napravili načrt za bodočnost.
O nekem inženirju berem, da je dobil dobro ponudbo pri neki firmi daleč stran od mesta, kjer je živel. Prejšnji večer je imel poslovilno večerjo s svojimi dosedanjimi prijatelji in znanci. Bilo je zares veselo in on sam je prekipeval veselja v upanju na dobro plačo in lepo bodočnost. Drugi dan pa je prišlo sporočilo, da se je na cesti smrtno ponesrečil. Bil je star 32 let.
Bog ima z nami dostikrat druge in drugačne načrte kakor jih imamo mi. Včasih nas usmeri na novo nepričakovano in nenadno pot. Ne razumemo zakaj se je to ali ono zgodilo, še le pozneje aili celo nikoli spoznamo, da je bilo tako prav in najbolje za nas.
Veren človek ve, da noben človeško nerešljiv dogodek ne more uničiti našega življenja. Usmeri nas le po novi poti k cilju našega od Boga nam načrta. Bog nas vedno spet preseneti, dostikrat tudi nam na neljub način. A naše življenje je in bo ostalo račun, ki ga Bog sestavlja. Moč krščanskega življenja pa je v tem, da ni nestanovitno in tudi ne oskotimo enostransko, temveč zvesto v izpolnjevanju nedoumljivih božjih načrtov.
Na pragu novega leta napravimo en načrt, ki naj bo tudi naš program za novo leto. Kristus naj bo vodnik našega življenja, če bo on z nami, kdo bo proti nam.
DjreJna AlcCenAka kulturna prestala 0 Chicagu!
V nedelje 4. februarja, 1973
Vljudno vabimo na bližajoči se koncert SLOVENSKEGA AKADEMSKEGA PEVSKEGA ZBORA ter FOLKLORNE SKUPINE FRANCE MAROLT iz Slovenije. Koncert bo v eni najlepših dvoran v Ameriki, poznani ORCHESTRA HALL, na 220 No. Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111. v nedeljo dne 4. februarja, 1973 ob pol sedmih zvečer.
Obe skupini v kateri nastopa 74 slovenskih študentov, veljata za eno izmed najboljših v Evropi, zato je za nas izredna prilika, da bomo mogli prisostvovati prvemu nastopu mladine direktno iz Slovenije v našem mestu. Dvorana ima nad tri tisoč sedežev in je prav, da jo zasedemo in tako damo mladi akademski generaciji iz domovine nove pobude za kulturno prizadevanje.
Pokroviteljica čikaškega koncerta je podružnica št. 2 Slovenske Ženske Zveze ki vabi vse od blizu in daleč na ta veliki koncert in kulturno doživetje.

Naša decemberska seja in volitve so za nami. Letna seja je dobro izpadla, ker so na naše želje, ostale iste uradnice, saj so sposobne voditi za naš okraj. Me članice smo jim hvaležne za njihovo delo. Kakor je navada, je bila miza lepo okrašena v božičnem stilu in pripravljene so bile dobre stvari. Naše uradnice se vedno potrudijo, da vse lepo pripravijo za dostojno poslovitev ob zaključku leta. Brat naše predsednice nam je kazal slike, kakor je obljubil. Lepa hvala, Joško. Zelo smo bile vesele lepih slik.
Prihodnja seja se bo vršila drugo nedeljo v januarju ob 2 uri pop. v istih prostorih, nato ne bo seje do aprila.
Soses. Jennie Gerbec je izgubila moža v automobilski nesreči ifl še sama je bila poškodovana, enako njena hčerka. Naše iskreno sožalje ob bridki
izgubi, a njima pa skorajšnje ozdravljenje.
Zima je tu in le nekateri so tako srečni in pogumni, da zapuste svoje domove in gredo v gorke kraje do spomladi, toda nam pa beli snežek vse pobeli hribčke in doline in v naših srcih se naseli otožnost.
K novemu letu pa želim vsem vse najboljše, društvu pa lep uspeh. Vsem tople pozdrave.

poletje je bilo bolj slabo, mnogo dežja in sedaj smo že v mrzli zimi. Upam, da nam bo Bog naklonil v nastopnem fetu mnogo lepega vremena in posebno veliko zdravja in veselja. Pozdravlja, Vaša zapisnikarica,

Najprej moram poročati, da je to jesen smut globoko posegla v vrste nlaših članic in na/m pobrala kar štiri sestre: Jennie Krajačič, Mrs. Jazbec, Mrs. Jakše in Frances Globokar.

MARY LESNIK Pok. je biia dolgoletna odbornica št. 20 v Jolietu in bila je zelo priljubljena pri vseh. Odlični pevki naj bo obranjen blag spomin.
ŠT. 20, JOLIET, ILL.
V teku enega meseca smo izgubile dve dobre članice. Dne 16. nov. je umrla Agnes Grošelj, ki je pristopila v febr. 1938, priporočena po M. Fabian. Zapušča 3 hčerke in enega sina. Pok. je bila vdova in se je prej pisala Sukly, po drugem možu pa Mrs. Luke Gnosley. Bila je zelo postrežljiva
in veselega značaja. K večnemu počitku je bila položena poleg prvega soproga na domačem farnem pokopališču. Vsem v družini naše sožalje, enako Mary Haggerty, ki je tudi v sorodstvu. Pok. Agnes pa večni mir. Naše članice so molile o-b krsti in se udeležile pogreba.
Druga je umrla Mary Lešnik v starosti 69 let. živela je na Harrison St. Zapušča 4 sinove, moža, sestro Anno Fandek in več vnukov in drugega sorodstva. Sestre so prišle iz Detroita in zapušča tudi enega brata. Soprog John je bil dalje časa bolan, kakor tudi potem Mary, ki je bila večkrat v bolnišnici od aprila. Doma so ji vsi lepo stregli, vendar je prezgodnja smrt jo dohitela. Pri naši podr. jo bomo vedno pogrešale, ker nikdar ni odrekla pomoči, čeprav ji je bilo včasih težko ustreči. Bila je naša prejšnja dolgoletna nadzornica, bila je zaslužna mati podružnice in delegatinja na konvenciji. Bila je tudi pevka našega krožka ter dolgoletna pevka našega cerkvenega zbora s sestro Anno Fandek. Pri naši podr. je z njeno smrtjo nastala vrzel, toda njena dobra dela ne bodo nikdar pozabljena. Njena priljubljenost je bila posebno lepo izkazano ob njenem velikem zadnjem spremstvu. Poleg navadnega spremstva na pogrebu, je bil še en auto za odbornice. Ohranile jo bomo v najlepšem spominu in njena dobra dela ne bodo pozabljena. Iskreno sožalje soprogu Johnu, sinovom, sestram, vnukom in ostalemu sorodstvu. Bog ji plačaj za vse!
Pri podr. smo imele tudi poroko, ko se je poročila druga hčerka naše taj-

nice, Olge Ancel. Nadine se je dne 25. nov. poročila z Michael Damitz iz New Yorka. On je v službi v Chicagu, med tem ko Nadine nadaljuje svoje študije na Loyola college, kjer bo gra-duirala drugo leto kot bolniška strežnica. Stariši, kakor tudi drugo sorodstvo so prišli iz New Yorka že nekaj dni pred poroko, ki je bila nekaj izrednega. Poročni obredi so bili v cerk-
vi	sv. Jožefa, nakar je bila pogostitev na domu neveste in nato je bil sprejem v Chandelier vdorani v Rialto Theater.
Novo-poročencema, stari šem Olgi in Edward Ancel, kakor tudi Damitz staršem in sorodnikom naše čestitke, da bi bili vsi srečni in zdravi še mnogo let.
Isti dan se je poročila tudi hčerka od Bernice in Francis Suski, Kathleen, a naslednji teden pa Rita Jaggi, vnukinja Mary in Leo Bistry. Obe sta imele lepe poroke v farni cerkvi, katere slavnosti se je udeležilo mnogo prijateljev. Želim vsem parom mnogo let zdravja in srečne dneve na skupni življenski poti.
Nastopilo je novo leto 1973 ter upam in želim, da bi bile vse naše članice zdrave in vesele celo leto in da bi redno prihajale na naše seje in se z nami veselile lepih dni.
Iz bolnišnice se je vrnila Anna Mahkovec, kateri želimo, da čimprej okreva.

Pozdrav vsem!

Leto se bFiža h koncu, tako tudi naše življenje. Kdor ni skusil, ne ve, kako je človek osamljen, kadar izgudi najbolj ljubljeno osebo. Za mene je to bilo, ko se je za vedno poslovil moj mož, dne 12. julija. Rešen je bil trpljenja,	toda nas	pa	še čaka.
Veseli me, da	ste	lepo počastili	za-
služno ženo in urednico Corinne Leskovar tukaj v Clevelandu na banketu združenih podružnic. Vidim, da gre po poti njene matere, Albine Novak, ki je bila	aktivna dolgo	vrsto let.
Dne	19. nov.	sta	obhajala 50	let-
nico Mary in Carl Estanek. Naši članici in njenemu soprogu čestitke in želje, da bodo zdravi še mnogo let.
V	tem času se več družin seli, med njimi družina Marie Pivik. Pred mesecem pa so se že udomačili v drugi hiši čla. Carry Miklaučič z družino in sicer blizu Chardon Rd. V Glasu ADZ smo čitali Tep dopis o dr. Thomas Ste-fanik, ki je vnuk naše dolgoletne čla.
Mary Zeitz iz Parme, O. Na tem mestu čestitamo mlademu zdravniku in staršem Joseph in Theresa Stefa n ik in želimo še mnogo uspehov. Ta lep dopis je priobčen v angleškem delu.
V	višji šoli Sv. Ignacija v Clevelandu uči moj vnuk Regis Lekan. Tudi njemu želim uspeh!
Ob koncu želim vsem članicam Zveze, kakor tudi vsem podružnicam in gl. uradu, veselo in zdravo Novo teto.

Kakor veste, se bo to leto v mesecu maju vršila vse-narodna konvencija SŽZ v Chicagu. Žal se jaz ne bom mogla udeležiti, ker bom morala iti na operacijo na očesu.
Moje hčerke, ki živita v Chicagu, mi pišeta, da že nestrpno pričakujeta nastopa slovenskih pevcev im pleasailcev dne 4. februarja v krasni Orchestra dvorani, škoda, da sem jaz tako daleč, ker bi jih tudi jaz rada slišala, posebno še, ker je med njimi naš sorodnik Janez Gorič iz Ljubljane, ki ima glavno vlogo s harmoniko.
Vsem mnogo sreče in zdravja v nastopnem letu 1973.
FRANCES HREN, preds.
ŠT. 40, LORAIN, O.
Dne 29. oktobra se je zbralo devet članic naše podr. in smo se odpeljale proti Clevelandu, da se udeležimo seje in banketa drž. konvencije za Ohio-Mich. Naslednje članice so bile z nami: Angeline Kozjan, hčer Angeline Vojtko, Rose Kragely, 3 sestre Sophie Pogachar, Angie Zgonc, Frances Russ, Rose Zdoc, Agnes Mroski in Mary Klinar. Dospele smo srečno, ker smo imele izvrstne šoferke: Angie Vojtko in Rose Zdovc.
Ko smo se malo spoznale in pomenile s sestrami od drugih podružnic, se je ob 2 uri popoldne pričela seja. Preds. Ohio-Mich., Mary Bostian, je pričela sejo, nakar je 'bil prebran zapisnik seje lanskega leta. Prisotne so bile Antonia Turek, gl. predsednica, kakor tudi naša urednica, Corinne Leskovar. Bilo je veliko članic, ki so zastopale svoje podružnice, še prav iz Chicaga je lepo število članic iznena-dilo našo urednico, ker so se udeležile te seje.
Vse	prisotne podr.	so	podale poročilo o	delovanju, kar	je	bilo zelo	za-
nimivo.
Tudi naša tajnica Angeline Kozjan, je podala njeno poročilo o našem delovanju pri podružnici. Omenila je, da imamo 92 letno članico Mary Plečnik, ki je teta trem sestram, ki so bile navzoče na tej seji. Imamo tudi več članic,	ki so črez 80	let	stare, pa	se
še vedno udeležujejo	sej.
Poročala je tudi, da smo dobile od preds. Bostian 150 knjig za prodajo in je bilo vseh 150 knjig prodanih. Tako je 'pohvalila kako pridne članice ima, toda jaz moram pa pripomniti, da je sestra Kozjan sama prodala polovico, če ne več teh knjig, zato gre pohvala njej, ker je zelo aktivna in delavna tajnica. Prav vesele smo bile, ker je ena izmed naših članic, Jean (Žnidaršič) Balog, prejelo prvi dobitek 150dol.
Sestra Turek je dala par priporočil, ki naj članice razmotrivajo na sejah, da bodo pripravljene delegatinje na konvenciji meseca maja, ko bodo prišle točke na dnevni red.
Tudi urednica Corinne Leskovar, je dala prav lep govor in navduševala članice naj pridobijo nove članice, da bo naša Zveza ostala trdna in močna. Corinne je zelo dobra govornica 'in jo je kar luštno poslušati.
Sestra Bostian je bila ponovno izvoljena za drž. predsednico. Čestitke njej, ker je dobra in zvesta uradnica.
Po daljšem razmotrivanju za korist Zveze in podružnic, je bila seja zaključena.
Zvečer se je pričel banquet ob navzočnosti mnogih članic in prijateljev. Večerja je bila izvrstna, postrežba točna, tako da se je vse prav lepo vršilo. Sledil je bogat in zanimiv program. Nastopi je ženski pevski zbor "Dawn”, ki so tako lepo zapele, da jih je bilo veselje poslušati. Vsa čast direktorju in pevkam za tako lep užitek. Nastopil je tudi ženski duet in mešani duet, vsi izborni pevci in pevke, žal, da ne vem za njihova imena. Naj jim velja čast in zahvala in upamo, da bodo še dolgo razveseljevali občinstvo s svojimi izbornimi glasovi in lepimi pesmi. Hvaila vsem za tako lep večer ki ne bo kmalu pozabljen.
Potem je stoloravnateljica Mary Bostian poklicala na oder urednico, Corinne Leskovar, ki ji je gl. preds. Antonia Turek poklonila odlikovalno ploščo (plaque) za 20 letnico njenega uredovanja. Corinne se je prav lepo zahvalila za ta lepi dar od Ohio-Mich. podružnic. Mi vsi pa upramo, da bo naša urednica še dolgo let opravljala in urejevala nam priljubljeno Zarjo!
Bito je še nekaj drugih govorov in s tem se je program zaključil. Sledil je ples za katerega so igrali izvrstni godbeniki. Nato je prišel čas odhoda proti domu, vendar smo bite vesele, da smo preživele tako lep dan v družbi sosester od drugih podružnic.
Sestra tajnica poroča, da je pridobila dve nove članice in sicer: Susan Tomažič in Antoinette Septaric. Dobrodošle!
MARY KLINAR,
blag.

FOR THE YOUNG AT
(Continued from inside cover)
Washington was scheduled to take his oath of office as the first President of the United States, and this was an historic occasion well worth risking one’s neck to see.”
Many matters of protocol puzzled the committee for the very first inauguration as well as to how the unanimously elected president was to be addressed— His Excellency. His Highness, His Mightiness. Finally “Mr. President” was decided upon. Following the "swearing in” ceremony a religious service at St. Paul’s chapel conducted by Episcopal Bishop Provost was next on the agenda, which proved to be the only time a religious service was officially part of an inauguration.
Bonfires burned in every street and the windows of most homes and homes and shops were lighted with 11 candles, one for each state in the union. America’s first inaugural ball was held May 7. The city of New York enjoyed the exciting privilege of being the home of America's first family and of American inaugurations.
Since Congress decided to move the nation’s capitol to Philadelphia in order to be more centrally located, Washington's second inauguration was held March 4, 1793 in the senate chambers of Congress Hall.
For John Adams in 1797 no gala reception had been arranged—no banquet, no ball, nothing. The public was still focusing their attention on George Washington.
After his inauguration, the second president of the United States took his lunch as usual at the head of the table in his boarding house. He went to his rooms to retire early. As he could not sleep he got up and wrote
his wife a letter that began: “My Dearest Friend: Your dearest friend never had a more trying day ”
In 1971 Congress decided that the permanent headquarters of our government —the city of Washington— be constructed in the District of Columbia on the banks of the Potomac. And so ready or not Thomas Jefferson came ten years later where his first, as well as his second in 1805, were very unceremonious events.
In 1809 James Madison was the first president to be completely attired in American-made clothes. He rode to the event escorted by the militia which probably constituted the first inaugural "parade” held in Washington.
"Reputedly the First Congress chose March 4 as Inauguration Day because, quadrenially, it was the day of the year which Feast frequently fell on a Sunday. In 1821, it did. Out of respect for the Sabbath the second inauguration of J'ames Monroe and Daniel Tompkins was postponed to Monday, March 5. Their terms however, officially expired at noon on Sunday. In effect, then the country was without a president or vice-president. Foreseeing such an eventuality, brought on by any number of circumstances, the Congress on March 1, 1972, had approved a bill which, in this situation, passed the responsibilities of the Chief Executive to the president pro tempore of the Senate and then, should this office be vacant, to the speaker of the house. In 1821 the present pro tempore of the Senate was Senator John GaiNard of South Carolina. Thus by the coincidence of
March 4....... Senator	Gaiilard became
the only man in history to serve as
HEART
President of the United States for a day”.
President John Quincy Adams was the first president to wear long pants at his inauguration in 1825 and his 90-year old father John Adams was the only ex-ipresident to witness his son take office.
Andrew Jackson in 1829 was the first president to be born in a log cabin marking a social breakthrough in the line of his high born Virginia and New England predecessors. “The dignity and orderliness of his second inauguration reception was in marked contrast to the rowdy rioting at his first reception four years before”.
Martin Van Buren in 1831 was the first president to be born an American citizen as his seven predecessors had been British subjects at birth He was also the last vice-president to ascend to the presidency after his predecessor left it alive.
William Henry Harrison was the first president-elected to enter Washington by train arriving at the height of a snowstorm. His Inaugural address, longest in history, lasted one hour and 45 minutes. His new life of social and political circumstances kept him up late plus his efforts to present himself as a rugged individual by not dressing properly for the cold, wet weather resulted in a severe cold. His term of one month was the shortest in history.
The drumming of heavy rain on thousands of umbrellas made it difficult for even those near the platform to hear James Polk’s one-hour speech. But when the oath taking was over the Marine Band played a ragged "Hail to the Chief!”
The song’s use at this 1845 inauguration was the first recorded reference.
The lyrics from the Presidential anthem —“Hail to the Ohief who in triumph advances!”— come from Sir Walter Scott’s "The Lady of the Lake” published in 1810, but the melody is an ancient Scottish air.
The night of General Zachary Taylor's inauguration in 1849 there were three balls attended by the president and his vice-president Millard Fillmore without their wives. When Franklin Pierce and his secretary decided to retire, they took the candles and went up stairs in the White House. The living quarters were a mess and so that night the President of the United States slept on a mattness, on the floor.

Being the youngest organist at St. Stephen's church in Chicago, III. is more than a title. It means a lot of hours of practice and determination. And, little Patty Zubek has what it takes to carry on with something she likes to do. So, it's no wonder that her piano teacher, Prof. Alfred Fischinger, organist at St. Stephen’s began to train her for the massive church organ as soon as her little feet could reach the pedals. Patty now is able '00 carry on herself and follows the litergy and music and even accompanies a singer or two! It happened not so long ago that Patty was called upon to play for a funeral mass and accompanied Mrs. Justine Ciblinski in her solo numbers and did it quite well!
Her muscal career began four years ago when she began taking lessons at the organ. She is equally profficient at the piano. She is a 6th grade student at St. Stephen grammar school and carries good grades. Her mom and dad. Mr. & Mrs. William “Bo” Zubek said she has always done well in school since six weeks into the first grade when the Sisters skipped her right into second.
Patty's hobbies include reading and crocheting and she loves to travel, as she did with her mom, Jean, to the dedication	of the Slovenian	Chapel in
Washington, D.C. - it was her first plane ride and	she loved	it!
She’s a member from birth - signed up by Mrs. Liz Zefran as soon as they brought her home, says her dad!
For only 10, Patty has done a lot with her	years and	will	undoubtedly
surpass even her proud parents' hopes! We hope	so, too!	C.L.
tion there was an atmosphere of danger with many assassination threats. Allan Pinkerton, the Chicago detective, was hired and thus Lincoln was smuggled into Washington.
At General Grant’s inauguration the crowd was impressed with two incidents that happened while he read his speech. "Each time he finished a page, Grant moinstened a forefinger and thumb on his tongue to turn the page and this brought chuckles from the crowd—the President of the United States was evidently a plain, uncomplicated man. Then, just as he was finishing, his little daughter Nellie, crammed in with her relatives behind the Supreme Court justices, left her seat, went to her father, and stood there holding his hand as he read his final words". His second inauguration day was the coldest in history when at dawn it was four above zero.
Benjamin Harrison's oath taking took place outdoors in the rain and from above one only saw the tops of umbrellas, Pennsylvania Avenue looked like a mushroom field.
For Warren Harding's inauguration in 1921 a loud-speaker system was used for the first time. On August 3, 1923 Calvin Coolidge became the only President to be inaugurated by Iris father. For his second inauguration simple ceremonies were requested. There was no ball and the parade so small it was feared that eventually the pageantry of Presidential inauguration ceremonies might disappear from the American scene.
Saturday morning March 4, 1933 the Roosevelts were going to church, a feature which had not been part of an inaguration day since George Washington's first. Washington had led New Yorkers to Church after taking his oath; Roosevelt was going to church before taking his. “The grand marshal of the parade was a man with a noteworthy distinction: thirty years before he had marched as a West Point cadet in the inauguration °f McKinley and now he was Chief °f Staff of the Armies—General Douglas MacArthur”.
During his first term of office and as a result of the 20th Ammendment, inauguration day was moved to January 20.
For his fourth term in 1945, the ceremonies were most simple. Becau-s® of the war the ceremony was conducted in the White House with no parade or ball.
President Truman’s inauguration address in 1949 was one of history's m°st remarkable. Other presidents had used this occasion to defend themselves or complain about the campaign; some had used it to “philosophize or inspire or prophesy”. But
Harry Truman speNed out the details of a world aid program, a plan for American aid in the development of human and natural resources everywhere.
President Eisenhower's 2nd inauguration in 1957 included a parade and four balls, the most ever and attended by the first family.
A storm dumped eight inches of snow on the capitol and hundreds of shovelers worked all night on the streets that would be used during the John F. Kennedy festivities. His inaugural address was a masterpiece including such phrases as: My fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.
The nation’s shortest and saddest inaugural address was made on November 22, 1963 by Lyndon B. Johnson. It began with: This is a sad time
for all people, and closed with: I ask for your help—and God’s. At his second inauguration he danced at all his five balls with only George Washington and William Harrison known to have partaken in this part of their GREAT DAY.
For 37 presidents inauguration days are historical days marked by pomp and circumstance or by tragedy and sorrow. At noon on Saturday, January, 20, all of us will be a part once again of an American pageant when we will hear and see the administration of the oath of office: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.
