POVEDANO V ROŽICAH
Predsednik Roosevelt je pretekli teden po znanem reku “say it with flowers” povedal na kongresu Hčera ameriške revolucije (Daughters of the American Revolution) par trpkih, članice omenjene organizacije so po-jtomke Američanov, ki so se z j orožjem uprli angleški nadvladi, pa si zaradi tega domišljajo, da so nekaj boljšega in nekako prezirajo priseljence poznejših j časov. Roosevelt je rekel, da so bili tudi vsi njegovi predniki med revolucionarji, dasi on tega ni kriv, in da je naša dolžnost (poučevati mladino zakaj so njeni predniki vrgli raz sebe fašistični jarem. Rekel je ženskem naj pomnijo, da so bili njihovi kakpr njegovi predniki priseljenci in revolucionarji. Indirektno jim je s tem povedal, da one nimajo nikakih zaslug za to, da so potomke revolucionarjev, da so tudi one potomke na-j seljencev in da vsled tega nimajo nikakega vzroka vihati nosov j nad poznejšimi priseljenci. Ob-lenem je udaril po fašizmu in se j zavzel za demokracijo.
ZMAGA DELAVCEV
Federalni delavski odbor v Washingtonu je te dni odločil, da je Douglas Aircraft Co. v
mestu Santa Monica, Cal., kršila znano Wagnerjevo delavsko postavo, ker je odslovila 45 svojih delavcev zaradi “sedeče stavke” v letu 1937. Družbi je bilo naloženo, da mora omenjene delavce spet sprejeti na delo, če ni za njihov odpust drugih vzrokov kot njihova delavnost v uniji.
JAPONSKA JE PLAČALA Poslaništvu Zedinjenih držav v Toki ju na Japonskem je bila od japonskega zunanjega urada dne 22. aprila izročena denarna nakaznica za vsoto $2,-214,007.36, namreč do centa vse, kar je ameriška vlada zahtevala kot odškodnino za topničarko Panay, katero so japonski letalci z bombami potopili dne 12. decembra lanskega leta na reki Jangce na Kitajskem.
ZAUPANJE V KOGA? Kongresnik Keller iz Illinoisa si je oni dan pošteno privoščil tiste, ki zadnje čase tako vpijejo, da je treba znižati davke na veliki kapital in mu dati proste roke, da dela po svoje, pa se bo v deželo z zaupanjem vred vrnila prosperiteta. Ironično je vprašal, da-li naj ljudstvo še v bodoče zaupa finančnim špekulantom, kot je bil Sam Insull, ki je zapravil tisoče milijonov dolarjev ljudskega premoženja, ali wallstreetski Richard Whitney, ki je bil nedavno poslan v ječo, ker je zapravil pet milijonov dolarjev ljudskega denarja, ali Charles Schwab, ki je vladi prodajal ničvredne oklopne plošče za vojne ladje, ali Tom Gird-ler, ki se je izkazal za zagrizenega sovražnika organiziranih delavcev, itd. Poudaril je, da sc finančni mogotci pred letom 1933 imeli skoro popolnoma proste roke, pa so nam nakopali najsijajnejši gospodarski polom in depresijo.
PERSHING OKREVAL General John J. Pershing, po veljnik ameriške armade v svetovni vojni, ki je bil pred tedni nevarno bolan, je že toliko okreval, da se je pretekli teden ude-1	(Dalje	na 4. str.)

ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
KRST VOJNE LADJE Dne 30. marca so v Splitu z velikimi svečanostmi spustili v morje novo torpedovko “Zagreb,” prvo večjo vojno ladjo, ki je bila zgrajena v domači ladjedelnici. V isti ladjedelnici se gradi nadaljna torpedovka, | ki bo dobila ime “Ljubljana.” Meseca decembra lanskega leta je bila spuščena v morje torpedovka “Beograd,” ki je bila izdelana v Nantesu, Francija.
V luki je bilo ob priliki krsta “Zagreba” zasidranih več jugo-slovenskih vojnih ladij, kot rušilec “Dubrovnik,” minonosci “Galeb,” “Orel” in “Jastreb,” podmornice “Nebojša,” “Smeli” in “Hrabri” ter divizija motor-! nih torpednih čolnov.
SMRT BLAGE ŽENE
V Ljubljani je dne 7. aprila umrla Franja Tavčarjeva, vdova po pokojnemu dr. Ivanu Tavčarju, znanemu slovenskemu pisatelju, politiku in voditelju narodno napredne struje v Sloveniji. Pokojna Franja Tavčarjeva, ki je nedavno praznovala 70-letnico svojega rojstva, je v življenjskih smernicah sledila svojemu soprogu in je mnogo storila za duhovno in narodno pro-bujo slovenske žene in za pomoč mladini. Smrt Franje Tavčarjeve je bolestno odjeknila "ele po vsej Sloveniji, ampak tudi po drugih delih Jugoslavije. Njen soprog dr. Ivan Tavčar je umrl že leta 1923; za njo žalujejo trije sinovi in hčerka.
POŽARNE NESREČE
V Bohinjski Bistrici je požar uničil gospodarsko poslopje posestnika Jožeta Urbanca. Gasilci, ki so prihiteli iz sosednih krajev, Kamenja, Nemškega Rovta, Nomenja in Češnjice, so ogenj lokalizirali, dasi so se že vžigala sosedna poslopja. Ta požar je bil v Bohinjski Bistrici že drugi v dveh tednih.
V Lepenjah nad Bovcem je nedavno nastal ogenj na hiši posestnika Andreja Kravanje. Zaradi hudega vetra se je o-genj razširil še na druga poslopja. Zgoreli sta dve hiši, dve gospodarski poslopji in trije hlevi, škoda se ceni na 100,000 lir.
VARNA BLAGAJNA
V Sarajevu deluje že več let društvo Hafif-Alaja, ki je po-1 svečeno tovariškim sestankom; in pa tudi dobrodelnosti. Ustanovitelj tega društva je bil znani sarajevski bohem in humorist Dedo Sabljar, ki je umrl) pred 4 leti ter naročil svojemu sinu in svojim prijateljem, naj! uredijo za društvo blagajno, ki bo “nevidna” in “nezgorljiva.” j Zeljo svojega prvaka in voditelja so izpolnili družabniki na ta način, da so železno blagajno zazidali v zid in pustili le tako majhno odprtino, da so lahko skozi njo spuščali dinarje. Ta-1 ko je bila blagajna nevidna in nezgorljiva. Vsako leto ob zaključku ramazanskega posta so razbili zid, odprli blagajno in ves denar, ki se je med letom v njej zbral, razdelili revežem. Ko je bila blagajna prazna, so jo spet zazidali. Oni dan pa so člani društva našli zid razbit, blagajno pa navrtano in prazno. Na tleh so našli samo še 2 dinarja, ki sta vlomilcu v nag lici padla iz rok. Ta zadnji o stanek blagajne, ki je veljak za najvarnejšo, so dali prvemi beraču, ki je prišel mimo.
VSAK PO SVOJE
Med Anglijo in Italijo je bila nedavno sklenjena prijateljska pogodba, ki je baje rešila vse sporne zadeve med omenjenima državama. To je lepo, toda zdi se, da se Angleži posebno dosti ne zanesejo na to pogodbo, kajti angleške tovarne orožja in mu-nicije obratujejo noč in dan in v angleških ladjedelnicah se z vso mogočo naglico gradijo nove vojne ladje.
He
Dandanes je sploh idiot ali pa naivnež, kdor še verjame v pogodbe, sklenjene med raznimi državami. Posebno v pogodbe, sklenjene z Italijo.

V noči med 13. in 14. majem bo v nekaterih krajih Zedinjenih držav videti lunin mrk. Dandanes je to vsakemu znan naravni pojav, ki ga ob gotovih časih povzroči senca naše zemlje na luni. Včasih pa lunin mrk za ljudi ni bil tak enostavni naravni pojav. Stari Kitajci so na primer mislili, da hoče veliki nebeški pes požreti luno, pa so ga skušali pregnati s spuščanjem raket, s kričanjem in z razbijanjem na bobne in gonge. Ameriški Indijanci Iroquois plemena pa so mislili ob takih prilikah, da hoče luno požreti zlobni duh ognja, ki je imel strah samo pred psi. Zato so rdeči gentle-I meni neusmiljeno pretepali svo-|je pse, da so ubogi kužki na vse mile viže vpili in zavijali.
* •
Vsekakor se tudi nam ni treba preveč ponašati z našo civilizacijo. Včasih so bili tepeni psi zaradi luninega mrka, današnji visoko civilizirani gospodje vojnih trum pa dajo z bombami pobijati neobrožene ženske in otroke zaradi svojih diktatorskih kapric. Te nedolžne žrtve so prav tako malo odgovorne za vojno klanje kot so bili tepeni indijanski psi za lunin mrk.
*
Neki ameriški profesor trdi, da lepa dekleta in sploh lepi ljudje niso tako pametni, brihtni in razumni, kot tisti, ki niso tako lepi. Hvala bogovom, da nisem tako lep kot oni cestninarji za vrati!

Pred približno 80 milijoni let Iso gospodarili na naši zemlji dinosavri, ogromnim kuščarjem podobni grduhi. Okamenela 0-kostja teh velikanov, ki jih la-;hko vidimo v raznih muzejih, dokazujejo, da so bili po 60, 70 in studi po več čevljev dolgi ter se-veda temu primerno težki. Zoologi, ki te prastare kosti študirajo, so pronašli, da so ti dav-| ni dinosavri pogostoma trpeli na revnatizmu. To je .bil vsekakor revmatizem in pol oziroma jnajvečji revmatizem, ki je kdaj mučil živa bitja na tem planetu.

Včasih mislimo, da je velikost vse, pa ni. San Marino, na pri-;mer, je najmanjša nominelno neodvisna država na svetu, saj ;meri le 38 kvadratnih milj, pa se ponaša z odličnostjo, s ka-koršno se ne morejo ponašati niti največje in najbogatejše dr-1 žave. Nima namreč nobenega

ODKOD SADNO DREVJE
Vse današnje sadne vrste seveda izvirajo iz divjega sadnega drevja. Mnoge teh divjih vrst sadnih dreves se še najdejo po gozdovih svojih prvotnih domovinskih krajev, druge so izumrle. S kultiviranjem in izbiranjem boljših vrst so ljudje v raznih krajih sveta vzgojili sadje odličnih kakovosti. Sadje divjih dreves je mnogokrat trpko in skoro neužitno. To dokazujejo lesnike, drobnice in lesnače, ki rastejo divje po gozdovih Slovenije.
V Zedinjenih državah se dandanes prideluje več in finejšega sadja kot v kateri koli drugi deželi sveta. In menda se v nobeni drugi deželi ne použije tolike množine svežega in suhega sadja kot v naši republiki.
Pri tem je zanimivo, da je Amerika dobila večino svojih plemenitih sadnih vrst iz starega sveta, največ iz Evrope. Mnoge sadne vrste pa so ameriški sadjarji z izbiranjem in križanjem zelo izboljšali.
Jablane so bile v Zedinjene države importirane iz Evrope. Kje je njihova prvotna domovina, se ne ve za gotovo. Dandanes se v Zedinjenih državah prideluje ogromne množine izbornih jabolk, tako za domačo porabo kot za izvoz. Jablane najbolje uspevajo v zmerno gorkih krajih. Mrzlega severa in prav gorkih južnih krajev ne ljubijo. Najbolj sloveča ameriška jabolka so ona iz države Washington.
Tudi hruške so bile v to deželo importirane iz Evrope. Prvotna domovina hrušek sta bili Južna Evropa in Azija. Za hruške je ugodno prilično tako podnebje kot za jablane, le da se hruške ne branijo tudi prilično gorkih krajev. Znano je, da se v Californiji prideluje velike množine hrušek. Sploh je pridelek hrušek v Zedinjenih državah le malo manjši kot pridelek jabolk.
Raznih vrst slive in češplje pa imajo domovinsko pravico v različnih delih sveta: v Evropi, v Aziji, v Ameriki in celo v Avstraliji. Današnje ameriške slive in Češplje izhajajo deloma od domačih ameriških prednic, deloma iz njihovih importiranih sester iz Evrope, Japonske in od drugod.
Črešnje te dežele so priseljenke iz Evrope; za njihovo prvotno domovino se smatra Srednja in Južna Evropa. Po našem srednjem zapadu najdemo večinoma le tako imenovane kisle črešnje; sladke črešnje se pridelujejo večinoma na pacificni obali, posebno v Californiji, do neke mere pa tudi v državah ob atlantski obali.
Domovina breskev je Kitajska, odkoder pa so že davno našle pot v Evropo in od tam v Ameriko. Marelice so doma v Arabiji, odkoder so bile zane-šene v Evropo in od tam v A-meriko. Tako breskve kot marelice ljubijo prilično gorko podnebje; v naših severnih dr žavah se ne obnesejo in celo po zmerno gorkih krajih srednjega zapada dostikrat pozebe jo.
Oranže so že v davnih časih gojili v Indiji, odkoder so se razširile v zapadno Azijo in Evropo, od tam pa v Ameriko. To sadje zahteva gorko podnebje, zato se v Zedinjenih državah goji le v Californiji in Floridi in v malem obsegu v Arizoni.

PRIDOBITVEJELAVSTVA
Skrajšanje ur dela, kar je a-; meriškirn delavcem otvorilo priložnost za zabavne aktivnosti, večja industrijalna varnost in zaščita zdravja, zaščita ženskih delavk in regulacija otroškega dela, pripoznanje kolektivnega pogajanja in ustanovitev sistema javnih posredovalnic dela so najvažnejše pridobitve delav-! stva v zadnjem četrtstoletju. To! so poudarjali govorniki na nedavnem banketu v Washingto-' nu v proslavo petindvajsetletni-!
; ce ustanovitve federalnega de-j partmenta dela.
Do leta 1913 je bilo devet ek-sekutivnih departmentov federalne vlade. Že mnogo let je ; organizirano delavstvo predla-1 galo ustanovitev posebnega de-| partmenta, upravljanega od člana predsednikovega kabineta, ki bi proučeval dejanske raz-! mere ur, mezd, varnosti in zdravja, pod katerim so delavci ; zaposleni. Samuel Gompers, tedanji predsednik Ameriške delavske federacije, je 1. 1910 izjavil pred kongresom: “Mi zahtevamo department v vladi: Združenih držav, ki bi se bavil j z delavskimi vprašanji in z vsem, kar k njim spada.” Prav za gotovo —- je dejal — tako j obsežno število ljudi bi moralo I imeti pozornost predsednika: Združenih držav v njegovih po-1 $&&&'bi* stvena vprašanja, ki se njih tičejo. Zakonski predlog za usta-1 novitev Labor Departmenta je bil sprejet od kongresa in potr-; jen od predsednika Tafta dne 4. marca 1913, ravno ob koncu njegovega predsednikovanja. Par ur kasneje je novi predsednik Woodrow Wilson imenoval za prvega tajnika (Secretary of Labor) William B. Wil-sona, nekdanjega voditelja organiziranih premogarjev. Svrha ?| novega departmenta je bila o-1 značena kot pospeševanje in ■ razvijanje dobrobitja delavcev ' i Združenih držav, izboljševanje ‘ njihovih delavnih razmer in > podpiranje njihovih priložnosti 1 za koristonosno zaposlenje.
} Tekom 25 let, ki so od tedaj pretekla, se je delo Labor De-; partmenta znatno razširilo. V dobesedno izpolnitev proglašene svrhe glede priložnosti za zaposlitev se je department prizadeval privesti delavca, ki je potreboval delo, k delu, ki je ’ njega potrebovalo. Dandanes deluje vsenaroden sistem jav-. nih posredovalnic dela in take pripomožne vladne agencije, kot J so Public Works Administraci-ja (WPA), Civilian Conserva-G tion Corps (CCC) in National ’Youth Administration (NYA), ki sodelujejo z javnimi posredovalnicami dela pri tem, da se najde delo za one delavce, ki nimajo mesta v industriji in trgovini. V izvršitev obširnega programa za večjo ekonomsko stabilnost je bil ustanovljen sistem zavarovanja proti nezaposlenosti. Z daljnim razvejem in udejstvovanjem tega sistema bo ameriški delavec zavarovan proti nevarnosti, da bi on nosil vse breme nezaposlenosti, kakor je to bilo poprej.
Department dela je izvedel neštevilne študije o obsegu, vzrokih in gospodarskih stroških industrijalnih nezgod in ravno tem študijam je treba pripisati razvoj zakonov o odškodninah za delavske nezgode, ki so sedaj v veljavi v vseh državah.
Zaščita delavk in nedoletni-kov je bila poverjena dvema po-(Dalje na 4. str.)
PGMEMBNASirOLETNICAi
Letos v januarlju je preteklo 100 let, odkar je bjil izumljen br-zojav ali telegrafi Kakor marsikateri drugi izunj, je tudi telegraf dala svetu lAmerika. Oče telegrafa je bil Samuel F. B. Morse, r o j e n . leta 1791 v S Charlestownu, Mass. Po poklicu je bil izumitelj ir^ umetnik in je bil leta 1835 nastavljen kot pro-l fesor umetnosti na univerzi v! New Yorku. Idejo za telegraf je! dobil že leta 1832, toda šele v letu 1838 je izgotovil ^prvi primi-1 tivni telegrafski stroj.
Prva brzojavka je bila posla-j na po 1,700 čevljev dolgi žici, ki je bila napeljana v učni sobi univerze, v navzočnosti njegovih prijateljev. Med njimi je bil tudi general Cummings in eden izmed njegovega spremstva, je za šalo napisal vsebino brzojavke, ki naj se pošlje. Glasila se je: “Attention the Universe! By Kingdoms, Right Wheel!” Sprejemni aparat na drugem koncu žice jo je v telegrafskih znakih točno sprejel.
Morse je svoj izum izboljševal, toda m oral se je boriti z ne-zaupnostjo, kakor je navada skoro pri vsakem novem izumu, šele leta 1843 je »vezni kongres dovolil vsoto $30,000 za poskusno napeljavo telegrafske zveze med mesti Washington in Baltimore. Poskus sefje dobro obnesel in .telegrafSRifžice so bile kmalu potegnjene med vsemi važnejšimi mesti Zedinjenih držav. Morse je tudi imel srečo, da je doživel, da so vpeljale njegov telegraf Francija, Nemčija, Danska, švedska, Rusija in Avstralija. Leta 1858 je za svoj izum prejel mednarodno nagrado v znesku $80,000. Izumitelj je umrl leta 1872.
Za brzojav je seveda potrebna posebna abeceda, katere posamezne črke so sestavljene iz gotovega številka pik in črtic. Tudi to abesedo je sestavil Morse in je še danes v rabi.
Dandanes je ves svet prepre-žen z telegrafskimi žicami. Seveda, v teku sto let smo' dobili še druga komunikacijska sredstva, kot telefon in brezžični brzojav ali radio. Danes je mogoče po radiu pošiljati ne samo glas, ampak celo slike. Toda vse to telegrafa ni izpodrinilo, kakor niso avtomobili in traktorji popolnoma izpodrinili konja. Telegraf kakor konj še vedno vršita važno službo v "moderni civilizaciji.
NEVARNI DNEVI
Največ avtomobilskih nesreč se pripeti v nedeljo; na drugem mestu je sobota, na tretjem petek, na četrtem ponedeljek. Najmanj nesreč pa se pripeti ob sredah. Od avtomobilskih nesreč s smrtnim izidom se je v Zedinjenih državah lani pripetilo 8,500 ob nedeljah, 8,220 ob sobotah, 5,680 ob petkih, 4,800 ob ponedeljkih, 4560 ob četrtkih, 4,430 ob torkih in 4,110 ob sredah. Skupni enoletni avtomobilski pokol j je lani znašal 40,-300. Poškodovanih pa je bilo v avtomobilskih nezgodah lansko leto 1,221,090 oseb.
ameriški filmi
Na svetu je bilo lani 89,097 gledališč za kazanje premičnih slik in od teh jih je bilo 17,000 samo v Zedinjenih državah. V 90 državah, na katere se nanaša zadevna statistika, je bilo v letu 1937 predvajanih 70 odstotkov filmov ameriškega izdelka.

For Publication — Illinois Fraternal Benefit Societies
VALUATION REPORT
Made by South Slavonic Catholic Union of America as of December 31, 1937, to the Insurance Department of the State of Illinois, pursuant to the requirements of law.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS REPORT NOTE CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. This report must be filed on or before the 31st day of May, 1938.
2. Each item in the blank should be carefully filled out, in accordance with the
information required.
3. The Valuation Exhibit must give in separate items for each form of cer-
tificate the present mid-year value of future net contributions as contingent assets and the present mid-year value of promised benefits as contingent liabilities, or in lieu thereof the mid-year net value of such certificates. Societies which use the mean of terminal reserves in valuing their certificates must include as advance assessments in item 11, page 5 of annual statement, the pro rata unearned portions of all assessments covering insurance protection beyond December 31 of current year.
4. All death losses of whatever nature must be included in accrued liabilities in
the Valuation Exhibit.
5. The present value of future extra assessments should be included as a part
of the contingent assets only in the event that the society has by its authorized governing board or body actually provided for the specific levy of a fixed number or amount of extra or additional future assessments.
G. If the laws of the society provide for segregation of the funds between the various classes of members, separate Valuation Exhibits should be made for each such class in addition to a combined Valuation Exhibit, so as to define more definitely the status of the members in each class. It is not necessary to make complete separate Valuation Reports. The combined Report should of course be complete.
7. Loans and interest thereon which are secured by tabular reserves or accumu-
lations actually maintained on the corresponding individual certificates should be treated as a part of the assets.
Liens and interest thereon not in excess of the difference between the present value of the promised benefits and the present value of the future net contribution on the corresponding individual certificates, should be treated in the Valuation exhibit as a deduction from the contingent liabilities. This is on the assumption that the liens provide for the payment of interest annually or for compound interest at a rate at least as high as that assumed in the valuation of the certificate liabilities. In the case of liens which do not bear interest or which bear interest at a rate less than the assumed in the valuation of the certificate liabilities, they should not be entered at their full face amounts, but should be entered only in the amounts of their actuarial equivalents, i. e., the single premiums at current attained ages which would provide for Insurance equal in amount to the liens and interest thereon where such single premiums are calculated on the same mortality and interest assumptions as used in the valuation of the certificate liabilities.
In lieu of following the plan outlined above, a society may show the reserve liability for an amount of insurance equal to the face amount, less the insurance purchased by the accumulated lien as a single premium at the current attained age. In this connection the rate of interest provided for in the liens must be taken into consideration, e.g.: If the lien does not bear interest, the reserve liability may be calculated on the net amount of insurance after deducting the amount of the lien.
8. The Valuation Exhibit is made up on the basis of excluding the expense, sick
and accident (when the benefits are not valued) and special funds <i. e„ funds other than general or expense funds not available for the payment of benefits) from the Asset side and excluding the liabilities , of such funds from the Liability side, except that the excess of the matured liabilities of such funds over the balances in them, if any, should be included as a part of the liabilities of the mortuary or benefit funds for valuation purposes only.
If the sick and accident benefits are valued, both the assets and liabilities of the sick and accident fund should be included in the Valuation Exhibit. Borrowed money should be excluded from both the assets and the liabilities.
9. The ratio per cent of assets (actual and contingent) to liabilities (actual and
contingent.) should be shown for December 31, 1917, which is the first basic date for comparison referred to in the valuation sections of both The Mobile and New York .Conference bills. The percentages should also be shown for the current and four prior years. In making comparisons of the above percentages of solvency between various years, the ratios for all years should, of course, be calculated 011 the same basis.
10. In connection with the Valuation Exhibit 011 the "Accumulation Basis"—Sec-
tion 23-b Method—use is made of a part of the Valuation Exhibit on the Section 23-a Method—Basis other than Accumulation. In this case the latter Exhibit is not required to be completely filled out.
11. The items of assets and liabilities must check with the corresponding items in
the Annual Statement. These items of information shall be furnished by an official of the society to the actuary or accountant, who shall include them in the Valuation Exhibit.
12. This Valuation Report must be certified by a competent actuary or account-
ant, or verified by the actuary of the department of insurance of the State in which the Society is domiciled.
13. Publication in official journals (or, in lieu thereof, communications to indi-
vidual members) shall be made of the results of valuation in form identical with that of the Valuation Exhibit to Insurance Departments, with explanations.
14. When furnishing copy of the Annual Report to the Actuary or Accountant
(unless he has personal knowledge of the facts) the Secretary (Or other qualified officer) of the Society shall definitely give the amounts of the non-admitted assets and of the expense fund and of other funds held for relief or other special purposes and not primarily for the payment of claims, and shall answer the following questions:
15. If the laws of the society provide lor the segregation and trusteeing of the re-
serves or funds of any class or classes of certificates, a separate Valuation Exhibit and "Form of explanation for publication” shall be attached to this report in respect of each such class and be furnished to all members * irrespective of ciass, through the official publication of the society or otherwise.	,
Do the laws of the society provide for the segration and trusteeing of the reserves or funds of any class or classes of certificates excepting juvenile certificates? If so specify same. Juvenile only. Also attach a copy of such provision to the Valuation Report.

Form*of Explanation for Publication:
77. This valuation is made on the Accumulation basis and covers outstanding
i certificates originally issued at contribution rates which were not computed
upon standard1 tables of mortality and rates of interest and which therefore
were not designed to provide tabular reserves. The law requires that the Valuation on the Accumulation Basis must show the results of past operation to the date of Valuation, but it does not indicate whether or not the accumulated sur-; plus, or credits, together with future contributions, will provide for future claims. This method of Valuation credits each member with his net contribution and interest and charges him with his share of the losses each year and carries the balance, if any, to his credit, and the law provides that this Valuation shall not be construed as giving to the individual member any right or claim to any such reserve or credit other than in manner expressed in the contract and the laws of the society, nor as making any such reserve or credit a liability in determining the legal solvency of the society. If the member’r share Of losses for any year exceeds his credit, including the contribution for the year, his contribution is to be increased by the difference between his share of the losses and l'.is current contribution in order to provide for his share of current claims. This increase in contribution to meet the excess share of losses may be paid from funds or contributions especially created or required for that purpose, or must be provided for by direct assessment of the member, or by liens established against his certificate, as provided in the laws of the Society enacted when accepting this method of Valuation. Under the provisions of the laws of this Society any excess share of losses is provided for by (State how provided for) ...........

23. A synopsis of the forms of certificates and the formulas employed for valu-;
ing the benefits and contributions under each form, together with the amount of insurance in force, must be given by the actuary or accountant with answers to the following questions:
24. State the method of valuation used (whether level net premium, full pre-
liminary term, straight modified preliminary term, Illinois Standard, etc.) Answer: Illinois Standard except Ordinary Life N. F. C. 4%—Net Level Premium.
Has the society during the past five years for any class of certificates changed its valuation procedure or formulae so as to affect its solvency percentage? No. If so explain fully. —
Did the Society exclude from the valuation required in Schedule A any suspended certificate where the member under the bylaws was eligible for reinstatement without evidence of insurability? Answer: No.
25. State the Mortality and Interest Assumptions employed in the Valuation.
Answer: (Use schedule A 011 last page.)
26. (a). Have the negative reserves on individual certificates been eliminated
from the Valuation Exhibit? Answer: None.
(b). What is the total amount of negative reserves on individual certificates? Answer: $—None.
The term, “Negative Reserve" refers to the excess of the present value of the future net contributions over the present value of the promised benefits.
(c). Does the society charge redundant net rates of contribution, i. e., net rates in excess of the tabular net rates (on the basis of the mortality table and interest assumptions used in the valuation)? Answer: No.
(cl). If so, state the amount of the present value of such excess contributions, and also state the intended purpose thereof. Answer: $—None.
'(e). If a society which uses tabular values in making its valuation, charges net rates of contribution lower than the tabular net rates (on the basis of the mortality table and interest assumptions used in the valuation), it must set up an additional reserve to cover the deficiency in such rates calculated 011 a basis not less than one providing for the accumulation as a pure endowment under a level net annual rate of contribution of a sum at the end of not more than 20 years from the Issue of each certificate equal to the present value at that time of the difference between the net rate charged under each certificate and the tabular net rate of contribution used in the valuation of the same certificate.
(f).	Has the requirement of	item 26 (e) been	complied with? Answer:	Yes.
If	so, on what basis was	deficiency reserve	calculated?
Answer: None.
(g). State the amount of such deficiency reserve, if any. Answer: $—None.
27. In tire	determination of the	ratio per cent of	assets to liabilities, according
to	the method of valuation prescribed by	the Fraternal Insurance	Law
of the State of Illinois, there must be eliminated the funds not available for the payment of future claims under contracts of insurance and the "non-admitted assets” other than certificate liens, loans and interest thereon; provided that the total of such indebtedness on any certificate included in the Valuation Exhibit shall not be greater than the excess of the present value of the promised benefits over the present value of the future net contributions under said certificates, as shown by the method of valuation assumed by the society, in accordance with the laws of the State Of Illinois.
Have the above requirements been complied with? Answer: Yes.

Jaz sem sama dobila več pisem, v katerih so mi pokojnikovi in moji prijatelji prostovoljno ponudili vsako pomoč za razprodajo preostalih 1500 iztisov “Narodnega Adreserja.”
Seveda sem jako hvaležna za take izraze prijateljstva in prostovoljne pomoči, žalibog pa moram reči, da vsa lepa priporočila časopisov in prijateljev niso do sedaj niti od daleč prinesla tak rezultat, kakršen bi se moral pričakovati.
Znam prav dobro, da časi so slabi in da mnogi pri najboljši volji ne morejo kupiti to za vsakega našega človeka potrebno in koristno knjigo, vendarle vzlic vsemu temu mislim, da je še mnogo naših ljudi, ki bi knjigo kupili, da le imajo priliko jo videti in prelistati.
Da se temu odpomore, odločila sem se, po nasvetu prijateljev, vkolikor toliko nadoknaditi ta strošek s tem, da bom za vsak prodani iztis dajala po en dolar, tako da se knjiga more čim prej razprodati in da si sama prihranim stroške, spojene z nadalj-nim razprodajanjem knjig.
V to svrho se posebno priporočam društvenim odbornikom, ki bi z malim trudom mogli na sejah prodati nekoliko komadov knjige, tako da bi mogli v najkrajšem času tudi mene rešiti velike skrbi in stroškov in mi omogočiti, da ves svoj čas posvetim delu za vsakdanje življenje svoje družine.
Prosim vse naše časopise in prijatelje, da kot do sedaj mi pomagajo dovršiti to nalogo, ki mi je preostala kot težka dolžnost po smrti mojega soproga Ivana Mladineo.

Brooklyn, N. F. — Slovensko pevsko društvo “Slovan” v Brooklynu, N. Y., bo pelo na radio v soboto 30. aprila od 5.45 do 6. ure zvečer (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) na postaji WJZ National Broadcasting Co. Program s postaje WJZ bo lahko dobiti pri lokalnih postajah, ki imajo večino svojih programov z glavne postaje v New Yorku in pripadajo National Broadcasting Co. Ako bo petje “Slovana” rojakom ugajalo, lahko pišejo na: “Slovan, c. o. W. J. Z., R. C. A. Building, New York, N. Y.” Piše se lahko v angleškem ali slovenskem jeziku. Pisma so potem na postaji pregledana in izročena društvu. In čim več je takih priznalnih pisem, tem večjo priliko ima društvo za zopetni slovenski program. — Za pevsko društvo “Slovan”:

Chicago, lil. — Nekoč je bil premožen farmer, ki ni bil nikoli zadovoljen. Njegov sosed je bil pa bajtar in vedno vesel. Neki dan pride k njemu tuj človek in ga prosi za prenočišče. Drugi dan vpraša gospodar tujca za nasvet, zakaj je bajtar vesel, on pa nikoli. Tujec malo ogleda 0-koli hiše in mu reče, naj vsak dan trikrat obhodi polje, kleti in hleve; čez tri dni da se tujec vrne, nakar se bo začelo razmo-trivanje. Gospodar se poda prvi dan na preiskavo.

ODVISNO OD ČLANSTVA
Kakšen bo uspeh naše jubilejne kampanje, je v glavnem odvisno od članstva. Ako se bo članstvo z navdušenjem odzvalo pozivu za pridobivanje novih članov, bo uspeh povoljen, kljub zaprekam, ki jih stavijo na pot nepovoljne gospodarske razmere v deželi.
Upoštevati moramo, da novi člani nobeni organizaciji ne trkajo sami na vrata. Treba jih je poiskati, treba jim je razložiti, da J. S. K. Jednota nudi svojim članom vsa zavarovanja, kakršna ponujajo različne zavarovalne družbe, ir) v mnogih ozirih za nižje pristojbine. Skoro povsod se še dobijo posamezniki, ki imajo vse pogoje za vstop v podporno organizacijo, pa niso še nikjer zavarovani, ali pa smatrajo dosedanjo zavarovalnino za prenizko in bi bili pripravljeni vzeti nadaljno, če bi jim bila vabljivo in v pravi luči predstavljena.
Vsaka organizacija je tako živa in aktivna kakor so živi in aktivni njeni člani. Naša J. S. K. Jednota je zadnja leta pokazala toliko mlade življenjske sile, da je moralo v dno srca veseliti vsakega dobrega člana. Da bi ta aktivnost tekom naše jubilejne kampanje odpovedala, ni za misliti. To bi pomenilo, da se je lojalnost našega članstva napram njihovi organizaciji ohladila. Z ozirom na to se lahko izjavi, da kdor kaj takega veruje, ne pozna našega članstva.
'"•*/**
Oganizacijo kot je naša more vsak član z mirno vestjo priporočati svojemu najboljšemu prijatelju. Gospodarsko trdna, visoko nadsolventna, točna, poštena, nestrankarska, izključno bratska podporna organizacija, to je J. S. K. Jednota. Nobene boljše tovrstne organizacije ni pod zvezdnato zastavo.
Glavni odbor je ob razpisu letošnje kampanje s sigurnostjo računal, da se bodo iste aktivno udeležila vsa naša društva, četudi morda le po posameznih članih. Pri vsakem društvu je nedvomno vsaj en član, ki se bo zavzel, da postavi svoje društvo na “mapo”. Kvota je določena tako nizka, da je tudi v nepovoljnih razmerah skoro povsod dosegljiva. Samo pet novih odraslih članov jo doseže. Če je kje boljša prilika za pridobivanje članov v mladinski oddelek, je na razpolago ugodnost, da dva nova člana mladinskega oddelka štejeta za’enega novega člana odraslega oddelka.
Jubilejne kampanje se lahko udeleži vsak član ali članica odraslega oddelka, brez ozira kako malo ali kako veliko je društvo, h kateremu spada. Ako vpiše pet novih članov v odrasli oddelek oziroma odgovarjajoče število novih članov v mladinski oddelek, mu je Jednota pripravljena dati javno priznanje s tem, da bo njegova ali njena slika s kratkim življenjepisom priobčena v Novi Dobi. Za toliko število novih članov odraslega oddelka, da znaša njihova skupna zavarovalnina vsaj $20,000 (za Minnesoto $10,000), pa bo predlagatelj ali tisti, kateremu so novi člani kreditirani, deležen proste vožnje na slavnost 40-letnice J. S. K. Jednote, ki se bo meseca julija vršila v Elyu, Minnesota. Za dosego tega častnega clele-gatstva mu zamorejo pomagati s krediti tudi drugi predlagatelji novih članov pri njegovem ali sosednih društvih.
Pozabiti tudi ne smemo, da bodo predlagatelji novih članov, kateri bodo sprejeti, deležni tudi denarnih nagrad, ki so navedene v vsaki izdaji Nove Dobe. Dotične nagrade veljajo za čas kampanje prav tako kot izven istega.
Tekma za eno ali drugo kampanjsko odlikovanje je “free for all”, to se pravi, da se je lahko udeleži poljubno število članov ali članic od katerega koli društva. Naklonjenost sočlanov je sicer zaželjiva, toda ni absolutno potrebna. Agilen član ali članica pri pravih pogojih in s pravo taktiko lahko doseže eno ali drugo kvoto, brez ozira na to, če mu sočlani pri agitaciji pomagajoči ne. V tem oziru ni nikake omejitve, ki bi dobre in agilne člane “dol držala”. Javno priznanje in častno delegat-stvo je dostopno vsakemu članu in članici.
Kampanja je zdaj v drugem mesecu in se bo zaključila 31. maja. časa ni nič preveč, toda še vedno dovolj za lojalne agilne člane, da za 40-letnico Jednote pokažejo svojo lojalnost v praksi. Navdušene besede so lepe, toda napredek Jednote je lepši in potrebnejši.
Najlepša proslava jednotine 40-letnice bo dober uspeh jubilejne kampanje. Kako dober in časten bo ta uspeli, ua je odvisnu od njenih lojalnih elanov.

V Kansas City ju že vrsto let gospodari veliki politični boss Thomas J. Pendergast, kateremu je bil te dni od diktatorja Mussolinija poslan red italijanske krone. Zakaj je mož dobil to odlikovanje, nihče v Ameriki prav ne ve, pa se tudi nihče kaj dosti ne razburja glede tega. Kaj pa naj pomeni v Ameriki red italijanske krone, ko še prava italijanska krona s kraljem vred v sami Italiji nič ne šteje in ne pomeni!

Poljaki so naši bratje, toda njihovo slovanstvo je zelo čudne vrste. V nekdanjem avstrijskem državnem zboru so se skoro pri vsaki priliki pajdašili z Nemci in sedaj se vežejo s Hitlerjem napram svojim slovanskim bratom.
Amerika ima vse take in mnogo boljših sadežev, zelenjav in cvetlic kot stara Evropa, in v mnogo večji izbiri. Vse od navadnega majrona, planink (Edelweisa) in sončnic do orhidej, od stoterih vrst fižola, solate in kolerabe do artičok in špargljev, od najnavadnejših sliv in hrušek do oranž, banan in dateljnov—vse je mogoče dobiti pri ameriških vrtnarjih in sadjarjih. Zato človeka sili na smeh, ko sliši ali čita povpraševanje po starokrajskih semenih. Zakaj se nekateri ljudje ne potrudijo, da bi spoznali kaj ima in kaj je Amerika!

Včasih se je deklici dopadlo, če si ji rekel, da izgleda kot milijon dolarjev. Dandanes, ko se
govori le še o stomilijonih in milijardah, pa gornji kompliment nima več veljave in učinka.

Nekdanji rimski imperator Kaligula se je nekoč hotel po-norčevati s postavodajalci svoje dobe in je poslal konja v senat. Dandanes pa se ljudje sami iz sebe norčujejo s tem, da pošljejo marsikaterega osla v po-stavodajne zbornice.

Pomladna vročnica, znana v tej deželi pod popularnim imenom spring fever, je v tem času najbolj razširjena bolezen. Ta bolezen je sicer včasih prav neprijetna, toda ni nevarna. Na gotov način je nekaj sličnega kot zaljubljenost: njena žrtev je lahko fizično čisto zdrava, vendar ji nekaj manjka. Značilno je, da se ta bolezen, namreč spring fever, ne loti tistih, ki so brez dela in bi imeli dovolj časa za zdravljenje iste. Svoje žrtve izbira med najbolj zaposlenimi ljudmi. Njen najbolj vidni znak je stoprocentna mrž-nja do dela oziroma idealna lenoba. človek bi najrajši legel v travo pod senčno drevo, nič ne mislil in si ničesar ne želel. Kvečjemu bi si morda želel lepo hurisko, ki bi ga branila muh in komarjev in ga pitala s hrano olimpijskih bogov, to je z nektarjem in ambrozijo, ali pa vsaj z ice creamom. Doktorji pri tej bolezni ničesar ne zaslužijo, ker se navadno ozdravi sama od sebe. To se pravi, ozdravi jo počivanje, kdor si ga more privoščiti, ali pa delo, katero mora žrtev opravljati kljub vsej lenobi.
V Clevelandu je letos pomlad nenavadno zgodaj nastopila in avtorja te kolone je pomladna lenoba najbolj zapeljevala pretekla dva tedna. Pa je ni utegnil poslušati, kajti prav takrat so ga cenjeni sobrati in sosestre najbolj bombardirali z dopisi. To kaže, da pomladna lenoba našega članstva v splošnem ni okužila, kar je jako razveseljivo. Iz tega se da namreč sklepali, da bo naša jubilejna kampa-! n ja, ki bu trajala samo se dober
mesec, jako živahna in uspešna.
Bratje in sestre, če se te čase kje med vami pojavi pomladna vročnica ali pomladna lenoba, recite ji, naj pride po 1. juniju, če že mora priti. Zagovorite in panajte jo s kako primerno točko iz pravil ali pa ji samo zabi-čite: Hudoba, poberi se; zdaj ni čas za ljubimkanje s teboj, zdaj je kampanja!

liankela, s katerim je bila zaključena velika tekma kegljačev JSKJ, ki se je vršila preteklo nedeljo v Clevelandu, Ohio, so se, poleg treh v Clevelandu bivajočih glavnih uradnikov, udeležili še sledeči zunanji uradniki: Anton Zbašnik, glavni tajnik iz Elya, Minn.; Paul J. Oblock, drugi glavi podpredsednik iz Centra, Pa.; John Kumše, predsednik nadzornega odbora iz Lo-raina, O., Frank E. Vranichar, drugi glavni nadzornik iz Jolie-ta, 111., in Anton Okolish, predsednik gl. porotnega odbora iz Barbertona, Ohio. Stoloravna-telj je bil športni komisar L. M. Kolar, slavnostni govornik glavni tajnik Anton Zbašnik, dobitke pa je razdelil med zmagovalce John P. Lunka, četrti glavni podpredsednik.
Četrta tekma kegljačev JSKJ. ki se je v nedeljo 24. aprila vršila v Clevelandu, Ohio, se lahko smatra kot vsestranski uspeh za J. S. K. Jednoto. K tekmi so prišli kegljači in gosti iz držav: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois in New York. Udeležba, tako pri tekmi kot na sledečem banketu, je bila obilna, razpoloženje kar najboljše in obnašanje vseh vzorno, dasi veselo in razigrano Priznanje zaslužijo vsi, mladina in starejši udeleženci. Bil je lep praznik za ugled in napredek J. S. K. Jednote in za pospeševanja bratstva in družabnosti med članstvom. Enkrat pozneje se bo urednik spomnil te lepe prireditve z daljšim člankom.

Nevarno obolel zaradi zastrupi jenja krvi je pred dobrim tednom Janko Kapelj, Jr., sin tajnika društva št. 71 JSKJ v Clevelandu, O., in bivši delegat na prvi mladinski konvenciji JSKJ, ki se je vršila leta 1935. Na drugi mladinski konvenciji je bila delegatinja njegova sestra Sophie. Janko je jako priden in nadarjen fant, ih vsi, ki poznajo njega in njegovo družino, mu odkritosrčno želijo skorajšnjega okrevanja. Zdravi se v kliniki na “Five Points” in glasom poročil se njegovo zdravstveno stanje obrača na bolje.

INTRIGE V RUMUNIJI Kralj Karol skuša z drastičnimi odloki onemogočiti vse o-pozicijske stranke v deželi, posebno fašistično “železno stražo,” ki je plačana in ki dobiva svoja navodila iz Berlina. Za to organizacijo je nemški načrt pregnati kralja Karola ali pa ga podrediti volji Hitlerja, kar bi dalo Nemčiji dostop do važnih sirovin dežele, posebno do oljnih vrelcev, obenem pa tudi ope-J racijsko bazo za nemško nastopanje proti Rusiji, češkoslovaški, Madžarski, Balkanu in Bližnjemu Vzhodu. Kralj Karol je naklonjen Franciji, če-! škoslovaški in Mali ententi. Ma-lokatera evropska dežela je tako preprežena z domačimi in inozemskimi intrigami kot je Rumunska.

Women’s Bureau je izvedel pomembne študije o so-cijalnih in gospodarskih činite-ljih, ki prizadevajo življenje, zdravje in dobrobitje žensk, zaposlenih v industriji, in posledica je bila, da so mnoge države jmejile urnik dela in določile minimalne mezde. Enako je Children’s Bureau povzročil vzakonjenje postav, ki regulirajo delo nedoletnikov, in današnje prizadevanje, da se odpravi otroško delo v industriji.
Takozvana tehnologična nezaposlenost, ki izvira iz vpeljave novih mehaničnih procesov, zmanjšana priložnost dela za delavce preko srednje starosti, in primerna zdravniška oskrba za delavce in njihove družine spadajo med poglavitna vprašanja, ki vzbujajo stalno pozornost federalnega departmenta dela,—FLIS.

'(iport^.^Hd members of our SSCU were given the k tUn\ty to hear our supreme secretary speak on the (I adversary jubilee campaign, during his sojourn sixth city on April 25 and 26. i®en addresses by SSCU supreme officers have tnp^a^e *n Cleveland before, this particular one iej ^ to have hit its mark, for the subject matter J and the audience in a receptive mood, jji- ls. not a discredit to our supreme officers when is made that they in the past rose to the occa-K a suitable oratorical subject, spoke for a length yet failed to make a noticeable impression on C^ners. Perhaps our members in the past failed 12redate the benefits of an outside speaker, perhaps a .'Was merely a celebration and very few if any W>!0S^on to understand the subject matter. In plain k, e>. these officials simply -“did not click” with
^udience.
the trend is to look forward for days and ^ .to the appearance of a supreme officer, who has L/vited to express himself on the subject of our !2ation.

Betsy Ross Places 1st In Team Events
Ely - 40th Anniversary City
Twenty-four SSCU lodge teams, emanating from the states of Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and New York, rolled for honors in the SSCU bowling congress last Sunday, April 24, in Cleveland, and when the last ball was thrown statisticans from the interested teams dis- 1 covered that Cleveland’s Betsy Ross “A” entry was the tops, Paced by lodge George Washing- < ton’s “A” entry, who made a strong bid for the championship, the flagmakers wound up the team events with a total of 2586, while the cherry tree choppers had to content themselves with 2526 and second place.
Pittsburgher lodge of Pittsburgh, Pa., again surprised the Clevelanders by placing fourth with a total of 2330. The keystone entry is supposed to excel | only in duckpins, but surprisingly »enough the Pittsburghers stole the doubles championship last year almost under the noses of the Cleveland sharpshooters, and left behind many good teams in the standing this year, much to the chagrin of the Cle-I velanders.
| Continuing to prove that Penn-Lsylvania must never again be considered lightly in tenpin competition, Center, Pa. Ramblers’
I doubles entry tied with Cleveland George Washingtons for 'first place. Each collected 1036 | pins. Joe Morris and Frank Možina, of Center, also won the draw to decide who was to re-j ceive the medals, as “Pugs” Opa-!: lek and “Ox” Kramer, the other first place doubles’ entry congratulated the winners. A mere seven pins separated A. Jelercic and A. Sluga from first place, the two collecting 1029 sticks, j George Kovitch from Retsy ! Ross placed first in singles, with r a score of 602. In second place r was “Pugs” Opalek with 564, ( who also took the all events A championship with a total of < 1651.
The girls’ entries, always an ( interesting spot at the SSCU , tournaments, had the eyes and ears of the spectators locused _ on them. Cleveland George Washington “A” team placed first with 2018, while Betsy Ross came in second with 1983.
In the doubles, Mary Perdan and Augusta Guzik stole the show with 843, followed by Anna Kotnik and Betty Jaklich with 816. Justine Skufca, also from Cleveland, with a total of 448 w;as awarded first prize in the singles’ entry. Helen Mestik was second with 441. Minnie Ko-goy with a combined total of 1309 easily won the all events title.
The tournament banquet which followed at the Slovene 1 National Home on St. Clair A\e.
; i was everything the Cleveland committee in charge of preparations had hoped it would be. A nice crowd, an exceptionally list of good speakers, well prepared food, excellent music and thirst quenching refreshments.
Supreme Secretary Anton j Zbasifik made an unusually good speech at I lie banquet, and many facts presented about the SSCU will be remembered by those who were in attendance. iBro. Zbasnik then introduced the other supreme officers present at the banquet: Second supreme i vice-president Paul J. Oblock of : Center, Pa.; fourth supreme vice-president John P. Lunka of

“Actions speak louder than words,” and no truer words were ever spoken. How many are active in this our 40th anniversary campaign? Will we prove that we are active by enrolling at least a few members? Now is the time to prove to the membership if you ai'e 100% for the SSCU by showing results, by results I mean that each and every one of us will enroll at least one member. While it is true, that times are not the best for enrolling members, there are still members that would join with a little coaxing, in spite of the fact that they may not be employed full time. If a large certificate cannot be sold, perhaps a smaller one would be, if advocated. One never knows what the other fellow thinks or what his financial condition may be until one makes a personal contact. Getting new members is not the easiest thing in the world, for it requires a lot of individual effort on the part of the solicitor, but if one uses the proper argument and explains the various features of the many policies that our organization now has for selection, it is quite certain that somebody will be interested. Perhaps one will not sell a policy on the first visit, but if one is persistent, in most cases a policy will be sold event- 1 ually. We have a large field to ( work, for as the many creeds ^ and nationalities are no bar to ^ our membership, almost anyone 1 can be approached.	8
How many will come to Ely, for that very attractive trip? ( While the first thought of the re- ‘ quired amount of insurance to be secured may seem large, all ( the added attractions such as insurance secured from the transfers from the juvenile department credited to the total help to secure the necessary ' amount. Of course one must not 1 only think about securing the 1 required number of members but must act. You still have plenty of time to work and I am sure if we all get to work and don’t wait for the other fellow to get the member, we can make1 I this campaign in connection with our 40th anniversary of the founding of the SSCU one of the most successful events in the history of our organization, which is not only in name, but I in fact the best fraternal organization in America.
The United SSCU Lodges of l Ely, Minn., have already taken
• I steps to make the celebration of
• the 40th aniversary one of the - biggest and best conducted affairs in the history of the SSCU. i This event will be remembered as one of the banner events in
j the city of Ely, Minn., there- j ? fore, Jet’s go to work.

Sit Down
Teacher—“Johnny, can you 1 j define nonsense?”
*| Johnny—“Yes, teacher — an - elephant hanging over a cliff 1 with liis tail tied to a daisy.”
E 1 y, M i n n. — Swinging into the final month of our SSCU’s 40th anniversary campaign drive for new members, a genuine interest among candidates who are working for that top prize — a trip to the commemoration at Ely—is revealed. Indications are that many will qualify for the trip by the time May 31st rolls around.
Setting the pace in this great drive is Brother Kovach, president of Lodge No. 1. Just recently you have seen his picture in Nova Doba—the first stepping stone to a bigger reward. He was the first to enroll the necessary five new members for the honor. Any day now, you must watch the columns of our paper for the announcement of the first who has qualified for the wonderful trip. Who will this person be??—Maybe somebody else, but Little Stan will bet his bankroll on Bro. Kovach!
You know, it’s almost like bowling. Somebody sets the pace, and others try to keep in line, but always trying to pile up a larger score. Clean-up men are entered in fourth or fifth place. They are supposed to be the seige guns who will help roll the difference between winning and losing. Brother Kovach, of Lodge No. 1 is setting the pace. ARE YOU OTHER CANDIDATES GETTING SET IN THE CLEANUP POSITIONS?
Last week end Little Stan! was a sad young man. He so wished he could attend the National SSCU Bowling tournament in Cleveland. Not being able to attend almost made him feel sorry he was a newspaperman and had deadlines to make. That w'as the big reason why he L couldn’t make the trip. But he * was there in spirit anyway! Couldn’t you tell??	L
That big reward for enrolling: enough new members to equal $20,000 worth of insurance is L going to be well worth your ef-forts.	j j
It means a free trip to Ely | with all expenses paid, and yoii j will mingle with Minnesota ^ SSCU’ers who will gather at ■ the beautiful picnic grounds on ; the shores of Shagawa lake onj( July 17 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of our organization. There an impressive, program will take^place.
On the eve of the picnic, July 16, a commemoration banquet will be held at which you will be able to feel the spirit of the SSCU, not only in the delicious

meal which will be served, but also the program to be presented.
Between times, you will be able to enjoy the real genuine Minnesota climate. Situated in the heart of the Arrowhead country the center of Minnesb-ta’s Ten Thousand lakes and streams, you will find that Ely is the city you have dreamed about.
When the thermometer sizzles at a 100 degree temperature in your home town, you will find Ely temperatures more moderate with cool evenings—so cool that sleep will be refreshing, and next day when you awake, you’ll be ready for more activity, sightseeing, and riding in the famed 1938 edition of the ahs-tin. Heh, heh!
Fishing will be in mid-season about that time, and you can get tackle, hook line, and sinker, a boat and to a nearby resort or lake where you can spend the day, angling for those big great northern pike, lake trout, and those wall-eyed beauties. If you like to swim, a dip in those cool refreshing waters will just about add that final zip to your stay here.
And when the day’s work is done, and twilight falls on the horizon, a big moon will slowly rise over the tree-tops and you will begin to feel sorta romantic like in this soft summer haze. Ah, Little Stan gets romantic just thinking about it.
NOW IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU! A TRIP TO ELY IS RIGHT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. YOURS FOR THE TAKING! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??
Gratifying response was indicated by juvenile members in last w’eek’s excellent edition. Wonderful stories, short narrations, all combined to make our paper the most interesting of the week.
Little Stan thinks that SSCU juvenile members have more pep and vigor and spirit than many of those in other organizations. Everytime the juvenile page makes its appearance, it certainly points to it.
And now, another week is ebbing away into the annals of history. Those weeks fly by swiftly, and if you are one of those who will start work late in order to qualify for the trip, remember that by the time you get started, the campaign drive might be over! It’s up to you! Only a month to go, and if you start NOW, you’re a cinch, AND DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T TELL YOU! HEH, HEH!

MY TRIP TO THE MEDITERRANEAN
BY Doris Marie Birtic, Lodge 180
Editor’s Note: This is the ■ 20t.h installment of a series of articles which Doris Marie Birtic has 'prepared for publication in the Nova Doba. Readers will recall that Doris won a sixweelc cruise to the Mediterranean in a nationwide contest sponsored by The Cleveland Press and The Cleveland Propeller Club. Other installments will follow in subsequent editions.
* * *
Early the next morning we steered into the hai-bor of Beirut, Syria. Since we were stopping there for such a short time, it wasn’t worth the trouble of bringing the ship up to the dock, so we anchored some distance out at sea. The passengers desiring to see the sights hailed one of the large motor boats and were taxied to shore.
Two Syrian graduates of the University and I decided to take a motor trip up the Lebanon Mountains. Upon reaching land, we passed through the customs office, and then took a taxi.
Our ride to the mountains was most interesting. My companions, though native Arabians, were totally unlike the rabble we saw cluttering the streets. These young men had adopted the Western style of dress, and their tailored suits were up-to-the-minute. Their education had imbued in them the culture and refinement of the European, and their fluent, flawless English sometimes put me to shame.
They were sailing to America on our boat. One had relatives in California, while his cousin hoped to start an oriental rug shop in New York. The latter was rather reluctant about leaving his country, and later I learned why.
We drove through winding roads for nearly two hours. The lofty mountains, green cedar trees, and the sea below presented an overwhelming scene of beauty.
Finally we reached Hotel Ka souf, a modern building on the summit of a high mountain, and had dinner. The many courses served were relished by my companions, but I could barely manage to take a nibble of everything. I wasn’t used to eating so much, even though I would have liked to, for it was delicious.
Upon leaving the hotel, we found the complete scene changed. A thick, white cloud, or mountain mist, had blanketed the village. We could see only about ten feet ahead; beyond that was impenetrable. The atmosphere was chilled, and whereas it had been refreshing before, it now was a little too cool.
Walking slowly down the middle of the road, we carefully avoided the edges, for, since they were unprotected, and hidden by the fog, one step might send us whirling into eternity.
We stopped by a little stand where several women were selling hand crocheted articles. They had a large assortment of blouses, but the sizes weren’t marked. Since I wanted one, I had to try them on over my dress to see which would fit. This was quite embarrassing, but the blouse was worth it.
After a while, the “homesick-looking” fellow asked me if I would mind very much if he would go to say goodbye to one of his dearest friends. I told him to go right ahead; we’d meet him later. He left, and we hired a black one-horse carriage with a collapsible top, and then started out on an all afternoon tour.

: Did You Know That, .v
I! I By Anna Prosen, Lodge 17J
... In 1889, Doctor Gustaf De Laval, a Swedish engineer, brought out the first practical rotary engine, a turbine? He took a disk or solid wheel and cut vanes in its rim, and against these vanes, nozzles, properly placed, shot jets of steam? And after having struck the vanes the steam was allowed to escape?
.... The Hautboy Oboe is an important woodwind instrument played by a double reed? It is about 200 years old in its present form, has a peculiar nasal tone, piercing yet expressive? Essentially a lyric instrument, music of a tender pastoral character suits it best, but in skillful hands it is also Useful for the expression of melancholy and gaiety?
. . . Peanut oil, a yellow oil with the characteristic odor and flavor of peanuts, from which it is obtained by pressure, is much used in the manufacture of soaps? Once refined it is also used as a salad oil and for cooking purposes?

POSLEDICE POTRESA Po nedavnem potresu na Hrvaškem so bili najbolj prizadeti kraji Koprivnica, Sv. Trojstvo, Kapele, Bjelovar, Našice, Pavlovec in šc nekateri. Človeških žrtev ni bilo, toda vsa večja starejša poslopja in stavbe so dobile močne razpoke, ponekod so se zrušile strehe in stene, po stanovanjih so se porušile peči in se prevrnilo pohištvo. Materialna škoda znaša več milijonov dinarjev.

ROMAN
BRANISLAV NUŠIČ:
Občinsko dete
n
“Potem ga poiščem sama!” je kriknila princesa, planila kvišku in stekla mimo preplašene komornice na hodnik k vratom. Bila so zapahnjena; zaman jih je skušala odpreti. Zagnala se je vanje, udarila z roko po zapahu, da se je skoraj ranila, a vrata se niso odprla. Princesa je pobesnela. Kakor brez uma je planila k Uaji, ustavila se pred njo in zakričala:
“Odpri!”
“Ne smem, princesa.”
“Odpri, ali te ubijem!”
Ilaja je prestrašena odskočila. V princesini desnici se je zabliskalo zlato, z diamanti okrašeno bodalo. Njena levica se je iztegnila proti komornici, zagrabila jo za lase ... desnica je dvignila bodalo naj njeno srce . ..
“Milost, princesa!” je zajavkala Ilaja.
“Odpri! To je moj zadnji ukaz.”
“Odprem ..je dahnila komaj slišno komornica.
Princesa jo je izpustila in povesila desnico z bodalom. Ilaja si je otrla pot s čela in odšla proti vratom. Skozi ozko odprtino v sklopu je dejala stražarjema nekaj v princesi neznanem jeziku. Vrata sd se odprla, toda na prag sta stopila stražarja, izbočila prsi in iztegnila mišičaste roke. Evalasta je planila med njiju, da bi pobegnila, a se je kakor žoga odbila od njunih rok in se opotekla nazaj.
“Stran! Spoti!” je zakričala ih znova dvignila bodalo.
Tedaj sta se stražarja skrčila kakor dve mački in planila proti njej tako naglo, da se jima ni mogla umakniti. Prvi jo je zgrabil od zadaj za komolce, drugi j; je izvil bodalo iz roke. Skušala ju je odsuniti, osvoboditi se, a njen napor je ves zamrl
v	ogromni moči njunih mišic. Kakor malo dete sta jo dvignila, odnesla v sobo in položila na blazine. Nato sta se tiho odstranila; vrnila sta se na stražo k vratom. Pri princesi je ostalo samo Ilaja z dvema sužnjama.
Evalasta je vsa trepetala od razburjenja in togote, a genila se ni. Spoznala je, da je zares jetnica in bi bil ves odpor zaman. Tudi, če bi pobegnila iz svojih soban, kako naj bi prišla do ezteških slonov, vojščakov in sužnjev, in kako ž njimi iz dvora in Semisirisa?
Bolečina, kakršne ni občutila nikoli prej, ji je presunila srce, toda zajokala ni. Nad bolečino je zmagal vladarski ponos, ki ji ni dovoljeval, da bi sužnjam kazala solze in ž njimi trpljenje poraza. Samo drhtela je, ker toliko moči vendarle ni imela, da bi docela obvladala svoje do skrajnosti razburjene živce. Obraz je položila med blazine in obležala tako skoraj brez misli. Glava ji je postala topa, popolnoma prazna. J^sli ji je izpila gosta megla, ki jo je obdala vso, da se ji je zazdelo ko da pada iz višav skozi nepredirne oblake nekam v brezkrajne globine. Šele čez dolgo se je umirila in pričela zopet misliti, sprva nejasno, potem vse bolj razločno in ostro. Spoznavala je svoj položaj...
“Jetnica sem!” si je dejala. “Nisem prišla sem, da bi se naučila navad faraonovega dvora. Pripeljali so me kakor daritveno živinče, da me poklonijo Semišu Ofirisu. Da, sedaj razumem očetove besede in materine solze; razumem faraonovo laskanje in njegove ukaze. Toda zakaj so me darovali? Nisem hči kralja kraljev, vladarja Aztekov Ilamagada? Nisem potomka božanstev? Ni moj oče prijatelj faraonov? Je njegov podložnik in mu ne poklanja darov zaradi prijateljstva, marveč zaradi podložno-sti? In kje je Aftagad? Kakšna je njegova useda? Je tudi on jetnik?”
Z neskončno muko je reševala vse te neštevilne uganke, ki so se bila tako nepričakovano pojavile pred njo. Počasi je uredila misli in si dejala:	|
“Ne, Aftagad je vedel, zakaj me vodi v Semisiris. Bil je izvrševalec očetovega ukaza. On je svoboden. Toda zakaj mi nihče ni povedal tega? Zakaj je molčal tudi on?”	I
Razočaranju se je pridružilo -sovraštvo. Zasovražila je naenkrat vse one, ki jih je bila do tistega trenotka ljubila: očeta, mater, brata ... Premislila je vse. Spomnila se je sedem ščebetajočih, sedem zlo oznanjajočih ptic, ki so bile preletele njeno pot, ko se je bližala mogočnemu obzidju srca sveta.
“Teh sedem ptic mi odkriva resnico. Aftagadu so pomenile srečo, kaj mu je mar moje usode! Ženska sem, četudi princesa in hči vladarja. Sovražim vas vse, ki ste me izdali. Sovražim, so vražim, sovražim ...”
Sedaj bi bila kmalu zajokala od togote in zlomljene moči toda premagala je tudi to slabost.
“Vendar, motijo se,” si je dejala. “Nisem blago, ki bi se podarjalo in sprejemalo. Ce ni ponosa v očetu, materi in bratu, če ni ponosa v azteškem ljudstvu, potem je ponos v meni, ženski. Nihče ni moj gospod, razen njega, sončnega božanstva, velikegr Raja! Samo njemu sem lahko daritveno blago, samo na njegovem žrtveniku žrtvujem svojo mladost...”
Dvignila je glavo iznad blazin in vstala. Vzravnana kakor čebra je stala pred Ilajo in obema sužnjama. Njeno obličje je bilo trdo, brezizrazno, ko je spregovorila:
“Ne bom se upirala ukazu, ki si ga prejela, ker ti nisi kriva. Ne bom več skušala pobegniti in ničesar ne bom storila, kar bi lahke vznemirilo dolžnost tvoje službe. Zato pojdi! Biti hočem
sama.”
“Milost, princesa!” je dejala še vedno nezaupno Ilaja. “Odpusti mi, nesrečnici! Moja volja ni moja, ker ji ukazuje on, ki je moj in nas vseh najvišji gospod. Verujem ti, cvet orhideje, zveneča struna na harpi pesnikovi, in izpolnjujem tvojo visoko voijo. Umikam se.”
Ilaja in obe sužnji so se poklonile in nato tiho odšle iz sobe.
Evalasta je zopet ostala sama, stopila je k zlatemu kipu najvišjega božanstva, dvignila roke in molila:
“Velik si in mogočen in svet si ustvaril, vladarje in gospodarje, podložnike in sužnje, ženske in moške. Velik si in velika je tvoja moč, vesolje objemajoča in rast dajajoča. Velik si in večjega od tebe ni in jaz sem samo droben del tvoje celote, samo iskrica tvojega plamena, duh tvojega duha, o mogočni, o silni Ra!
(Dalje prihodnjič.)
(Nadaljevanje)
In gospod Sima začne z nekim čudnim glasom, podobnim onemu, s katerim je malo prej razodeval učitelj muzike svojo ljubezen:
“Gospod, jaz imam z vami
nek, zelo zaupen pogovor ”
“Vem,” odgovori učitelj v tremolu, “ali . . . jaz sem to iz . . . velikega spoštovanja ... to je . . . kot nedolžno stvar . . .” Gospod Sima ostane še nadalje bled kot vosek in nadaljuje: “Vi mi lahko napravite veliko uslugo. Povejte mi odkritosrčno, kakšen je vaš rokopis, ali je lep?”
Gospod učitelj ne razume vprašanja, zato ga gospod Sima ponovi.
“Drugače je lep, popolnoma moški rokopis,” odgovori grešni učitelj, “ali zdaj ko se tresem, bo ženski, popolnoma ženski rokopis.”
“Prav dobro, prav dobro,” odgovori gospod Sima, “potem sedite tukaj, glejte tukaj, in pišite, kar vam bom diktiral.”
Zdaj šele uvidi učitelj, kaj hoče gospod Sima: rad bi od njega pismeno priznanje, pred-no ga pretepe, da bi imel v rokah dokaz, zato se je skušal opravičiti.
“Ne razumem, pospod, kako naj pišem v takšnem stanju . . .
vi	boste razumeli . . . takšno stanje . . .”
“Prosim vas, pišite, kar vam bom narekoval,” ukaže gospod Sima in grešni učitelj vzame pero.
“Ne tega peresa, to je slabo.” “Saj je vseeno,” odgovori učitelj in pomoči pero.
“Zapišit^e to-le: Jaz sem žena sirota in ne morem vzdržavati
i '»'•'* I -t	t	1	v	v	•	'	,
tega otroka vsTed revščine, zato ga puščam tukaj, da bi ga sprejeli in obdržali dobri ljudje -’ “Samo to?” vpraša učitelj začudeno.
“Da, samo to,” odgovori gospod Simtf. “Dajte mi, da vidim, kako ste napisali.”
Učitelju pade nekai z duše, za trenotek pobledi in oči mu za-žare veselo.
“Samo to torej ?” ponovi še enkrat.
“Pravzaprav ne samo to, še nečesa bi vas imel prositi, ali seveda vi mi daste častno besedo, da boste o tem molčali.” Komaj je izgovoril gospod Sima zadnjo besedo, zaječi nekaj strašno v omari, v kateri j,e bila njegova biblioteka. Učitelj se zbuni, a gospod Sima odpre zaupno omaro, kjer je neskrbno brcal na knjigah Nedeljko.
“Fej!” napravi učitelj, ko o-pazi, da Nedeljko ni prav nič pazil na knjige, na katerih je ležal.
Gospod Sima pogleda, katere knjige so poškodovane, in ko vidi, da je ponesnažen samo prvi zvezek Jarmekovih zbranih spisov s pisateljevo sliko, se potolaži. Vzame Nedeljka iz biblioteke in zaupa učitelju muzike skrivnost:
“Glejte, gospod, to je moj o-trok.”
“Vaš?”
“Da . . veste to so mladeniške dogodivščine.”
“Mladeniške? Ali za Boga, ta otrok nima več od dveh mesecev.”
“Da, dva in devet pred rojstvom ,to je enajst . . . pred enajstimi meseci, veste . . . sem bil mlajši, takrat še nisem bil oženjen; z drugimi besedami, to je moj otrok. Saj menda vidite, da mi je podoben?”
Učitelj pogleda malo bolje in najde, da mu je otrok nenavadno podoben.
“Ko sem se sklenil ženiti, sem moral zapustiti njo, ki je rodila tega otroka.”
“To se razume,” doda učitelj, ki mu je zdaj že odleglo pri duši.
“Ali ona hoče, da se mi maščuje, in da razruši moje zakon-|sko življenje in glejte, kaj je
napravila! Malo prej, ko sem odšel iz sobe, sem našel pred vrati tega otroka s pismom, naslovljenim na mojo ženo. Tista nesrečnica je vedela, da mene ta čas ni doma, pa je ukrenila tako, da bi moja žena našla otroka. V tem pa se je k sreči zgodilo, da sem bil danes jaz pri vaš j uri ter sem ostal doma.”
“K sreči,” pristavi učitelj. “Poslušajte torej, kaj je pisala moji ženi: Spoštovana gospa! Vaš mož je mene pahnil v nesrečo za vse življenje in je šel z menoj tako daleč, da je rodil z menoj otroka.”
“Ta baš ne pomeni iti bogve kako daleč,” pristavi zdaj že veselo učitelj.
“Prosim, poslušajte samo dalje: To sem mu sporočila in ga prosila, naj mi pošlje denar za vzdrževanje otroka, ali on noče niti slišati. To je naj večja bi-i tanga . . .”
j “To vendar ni mogoče,” reče učitelj iznenadeno.
“Da, gospod, tako je zapisala, K'lejte, sami lahko preberete; ali poslušajte naprej: To je največja bitanja, ne pa oče, ki noče skrbeti za svojega otroka. Jaz sem sirota devojka.”
“Pa kako devojka, ako ima o-troka?” ga prekine učitelj, ali zdaj že malo zlobno.
“Ne, v tem ima prav, ker se ni omožila,” doda gospod načelnik zelo obzirno in čita dalje: Jaz sem sirota devojka in ne morem vzdrževati njegovega otroka, zato ga pošiljam Vam, gospa, pa ga Vi vzdržujte, ker tako z vami ne bo imel dece . . .” “E, to je že razžaljenje,” pristavi učitelj zdaj že popolnoma zlobno. H
“To razžaljenje ji odpustim,” reče tiho gospod načelnik, “ker je pisala gotovo v jezi. Ali nečesa vas prosim, gospod,” nadaljuje gospod. Sima s spremenjenim glasom, “to kar sem vam zaupal, je največja moja skrivnost. Mislim, da jo boste znali čuvati.”
“O, prosim, ako imate še kakega otroka v biblioteki, ga mi lahko brez skrbi zaupate,” doda brzo učitelj muzike, misleč na svakinjo, kateri bo zdaj svobodni govoril o svoji ljubezni pri urah, ko bo. gospod Sima sedel na straži.
“Ali s tem še nisem izčrpal vašega zaupanja; storiti mi morate še eno uslugo.”
“Prav rad, prav rad,” odgovori navdušeno učitelj muzike.
“Midva bova torej ta listek, ki ste ga napisali, dala otroku v krilce, tega pa bova strgala.” “Prav dobro.”
“Nato,” nadaljuje gospod načelnik, “boste otroka vzeli s seboj in ga odnesli.”
“Jaz?”
“Prosim vas, poslušajte me do konca: Odnesli ga boste in odložili n. pr. pred mojimi vrati.” “Ne dalje?”
“Bog varuj, pred mojimi vrati z ulice. To mi lahko napravite.”
“Kako pa naj skrijem otroka, vidite, da imam le ta mali suknjič.”
“Vzemite moj stari plašč! Sicer bo malo širok za vas, ali tem bolje, ž njim zakrij^e otroka, ko boste šli čez dvorišče, da ne opazijo otroci, a kakor hitro stopite na ulico, ga odložite. Veste, da ne bom zapustil otroka, temveč bom skrbel zanj, ali boljše je, da se otrok najde na ta način, in da ga ne najdem jaz, temveč kdo drugi.”
In tako se je tudi vsa stvar uravnala: Učitelj muzike, ki je zdaj zaupnik gospoda načelnika, obleče njegov plašč, pod katerega bi skril lahko še nekaj otrok, vzame pazno Nedeljka, da se mu ne bi izmuznil in odide po stopnicah, gospod načelnik pa se je oddahnil.
TRIINDVAJSETO POGLAVJE
v katerem Nedeljko predstavlja najprej glasbeni inštrument, ali bolj navadno rečeno, harmoniko, a potem uničuje s svojimi intrigami zapored dve ljubezni. | Učitelj glasbe je stopil torej
čisto zbran v vežo in po načrtu, ki si ga je napravil sam grede čez dvorišče, je pogledal najprej, ko je stopil na ulico, na desno, kjer ni zapazil nikogar, nato je pogledal na levo, in ko bi tudi na tej strani nikogar ne opazil, bi bil Nedeljko rešen. Ali temu ni bilo tako. Ko je pogledal na levo, je zapazil namreč deset korakov pred seboj Zofijo Jankovičko, tetko gospodične Ane Subotičeve, kateri je — tej poslednji -— tri mesece dajal ure in ji v tem času že dva in parkrat priznal svojo ljubezen. Dvakrat ji je popolnoma priznal ljubezen, a ona je nato zardela, pokvarila škalo in bila sploh tako zmešana, da ga ni mogla v oči pogledati. Ker pa to še ni bil končen odgovor, se je odločil, da ji v tretjič ponovi svojo izjavo. Pri prvi priložnosti, ko sta ostala sama, je preletel trikrat z obemi rokami klavijaturo in začel:
Gospodična, moji občutki, ki so vam že znani, in kateri . . .
V tem trenutku pa, ko je bil sredi izjave, stopi v sobo Anina tetka, gospa Sofija Jankovička, ki je od smrti svojega moža bila spoštovana v družbah kot udovi-ca, kar ji je dajalo dovolj razloga, da išče tolažbe. V vrsto o-stalih tolažb je postavila tudi muziko, ki jo je rada poslušala, in kar je pripomoglo k temu, da se jie razvil pri njej poseben o-kus napram ljudem od muzike.

deklo, ki je kokoš prodala .sosedu; v kleti najde hlapca in njegove prijatelje pijane; na polju je sosed kosil njegovo deteljo za svoje govedo; repa, ki jo je bil posejal, je zrastla na sosedovem polju; v gozdu je manjkalo dosti smrek; sosed je imel dosti drv, gozda pa ne. Dalje je opazil, da je eden sosedov izkoriščal njegovo družino, drugi sosedje so pa od daleč prodajali grške modrijane. V par dneh se je tujec vrnil in gospodar mu je dal dobro večerjo. Potem je prišlo na dnevni red razmotrivanje radi nezadovoljnosti. Gospodar je povedal, da kamorkoli se je obrnil, je našel vse narobe. Nato pravi tujec: Danes je edina pot vrata zapreti, račun napraviti z izkoriščevalci in vsak naj drži za sebe grške modrijane. Sosedje so bili prisiljeni vso škodo povrniti in od tistega časa mora vsak sebi metlo kupiti, če jo potrebuje. Večkrat se pripeti, da volkovi pohrustajo ovce, namesto zahvale pa njihovi prijatelji medvedi nosijo grške modrijane okoli. Od tistega časa gospodar lepo v miru živi. Vpraša bajtarja, kako da je vedno vesel. Ta mu odgovori, da vsak človek je enkrat izkoriščan in da volkovi, medvedi, modrijani in vrabci so pa prijatelji.
