Was in America For More Than Thirty Years Ivan Gosar, Slovene painter as gone from this world at the age of 65. And thus the Slo¬ venes of America have been de- prived of an artist vvho has ah ways 'been interested in the progress and the culture of the Slovenes 'i n the United States For more than thirty years he has bved here and left behind him beautiful murals in chur ches in th e United States. In fact, church decoration vvas his strong point and the most beau¬ tiful Slovene Churches in the United States bear the memory of his art. Ivan Gosar died in Jugoslavia where he went upon the advice of physicians to regain his health after he was striken with paralysis. Ivan Gosar was a Slovene ar¬ tist born at Dupljah and was educated in his art at Ljubljana and at the Art Academy at Mon- ak and \vas considered a real artist even at that early age. His father was a sculptor. At the age of 35 he came to Amer¬ ica and Tived in New York and later ih Pittsburgh than moved in Buffalo. In 1913 his vvife died and left him alone with two children. He remarried in 1918 and permanently settled in Bethlehem, Pa. About three years ago he was striken with paralysis and upon doctor’s ad¬ vice went to Europe to regain his health. Friends have been advised of his early death on November 2nd. Ivan Gosar specialized in church decorations and church painting. Churches in ali parts of the United States and some Slovene churches bear the mark of his art. The Church of St. Stephan in Chicago, church of the Blessed Virgin at Wauke- gan, and the Holy Family church in Eveleth Minn., have been dec- orated by him. He was' always interested in Slovene art and Slovene culture and was a member of the K. S. K. J. organization and did some interesting work for the mem- bers and for the organization itself. It'is sad to note that death took him prematurely from the Slovenes in America for he vvas j ust mellovving and setting a mark for himself in American art. Brilliant Performance Marks Qualify of Slovene Opera Last $unday Last Sunday evening the Slo¬ vene opera was presented at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Ave. befor e an audience that jammed the seating capa- city of the auditorium. Much enthusiasm and natural spon- teniety was evident from ali who came to see the third presenta- tion of the Slovene opera in Cleveland and for that matter in the United States. Zarja triumphs brilliantly The work of the Slovene sing- ing society Zarja has been vin- dicated and the society trium.. phed with a doubled e d g e d sword. It proved conclusively that it can do a thing of that sort and it proved that it is an attractive power despite ali the controversery that’ has been current during the past few months. The dpera was not bril¬ liant if by that is meant the jewel bedecked patrons of the box seats. In fact there were no box seats at ali, the Slovene pa¬ trons do not believe in that sort of thing and most of them could not afford the privileges that are presupposed by box seats and box seat privileges.

Every solo part and every combination of singing was equally enthusiastic. In the second act one of the scenes had to be repeated be¬ cause the audience simply would not be satified until it was re¬ peated. That was the tenor of the crowd which to the casual onlooker might have been an average crowd but it was a crowd of Slovene lovers who came knovving that when they came they would be amply repaid for the coming with an evening of real Slovene song sung in a very typical Slovene way. It was the evening of the opera and the Slovene opera in Cleveland. 11 Musič lovers JOSEPH KRIŽMAN, IIITCH- HIKER LECTURER AT ST.

Mrs. Simčič and Louis Belle did very fine performance of the parts of lover and loved. Both have been heard before but this time they were especially well contrasted. Comedy well done The high spots of relief came with the performances of Stan- ley Kokotec and Mr. Anton Smith in their respective parts. One the deaf caretaker and the other a witty scribe who managed to give the audience some very good laughs in their silly bantering and doing it very well in con- trast with the performances of the other actors.

SUHADOLNIK V After a conference with Jhe Hungarians the Au- strian monarchy was divided into two political halves. At the head of the Austrian half the somewhat weak- ened autonemous gr. t .p became the leaders. In the constitution v/hich was drawn up in December 1867 the nationalitles \vere given the right to foster their own language but it did not guarantee the right . of equality. Lpiter the right of languages did not fare as they might have which made the feelings of national- ities semewhat keener ih regard to the government. The nationalities were trying to retain their .indivi¬ dual characteristiss whije ih contrast to this the Ger¬ man element \vas,trying hard to Germanize the whq!e. To the natiopality struggle the Liberal conserv- atives of the country added their influence w:th the consequent result there was an expansion in the cult¬ ural as well as the industrial fields. The school laws provided broader educational possibilities while the industrial bounds were practically taken down. The anti - monopoly and anti - capitalist restrictions \vefe torn dcwn whlch made capitalist class rather autocrat- ic with consequent exploitation of labor, trades and farmers. As a result of this the people began to look to other places v/here they could settle. Many of them went to America. In counter- protest people’s bariks, and loan companies and the organization of laboring classes. After the downfall on the liberal system in 1878 even the government became interested in the United Slovenia. At tirnes they favored a union with or without the Croats and at others for some sort of comprdmise between nationality Kights and rights given to them .by history, demanding that the Slo¬ venes of the whole “Illyria” be joined in one ccmpact whole. Actually that did not happen. \Vhen the Hungarians were given their kingdom some /80.000 Hungarian Slovenes were taken away from the whole added to this the losses of some 40,000 in the War at Venice. In the constitftional battles liowever the Slovenes v/ere conscious thst they were free people and began a lively rublic lile. The social difference between the tcwnsman and '/ie -peasant were very mucli reduced wh:!e a whole::omo, consciousness won out' in the cities, v/here the national iifcrarics sun- ported national culture. The Slovene became entangl- ed in the battle bet#een conservatism and liberal- ism.

The Slovenes themselves began to agitate for a .Josip Stritar v/as born at Podsmreka on .Sept. 6th 1838. There he lived as a chijd and as a fecy. With his sister and a neighbor he pastured his father’s cov/s and went to school at Lase. In Ljubljana he eomplet- cd the third grade of the grade school and then went to tlie first; class in latin. Stritar studied with entlrasiasm and was always ■Tn hondi' študent in ali of his classes. He v/as especial- ly interested in the classical languages and received a firm foundation in them. At the same time he also studied/the medern languages and mastered them. As A s o nu t e ar študent at the Latin school he was ac- ceptcd .in the .-St. Aioy.sius Acac!bmy in Ljubljana. The academy v/as the real and only plače for Stritar for the connections that he received there. Levstik who čeme frcni a little village a iew miles from Stritar’? home tov/n v»as at the school at the same time. With him- he became a very.close friend. During the summer vacation they v/ere constant ccmpanions and with fmiisr interests t ! 'ey encouraged each other. Wher, the fui effect of the revoiulion of 1848 was felt and the students were taught Slovene the academy had its own Slovene weekly “Danicica.” It was during the s me yoar that Levstik' had his first poem published in tlie “Slovenija”. Soon afte/v/ards Stritar became a cont/ril/utor to the Danicica..As the sixth year študent he appeared .tefore a rnuch v/ider audience v/ith four •poems, The Mocn, The »norning Star, Dawn, and -Mary, v/hich v/ere published in 'the “Zgodnja Danic%”. In the follov/ing yee,r, 1854. Stritar had sad poemi “Josipini Tutncgradski na prerani grob”. Though he was through.w.itli school soon affcerwards Stritar never joined tlie class of Slovene literary men who were ,ear!y identbiied with the 4itenz,r.y move-rnent in con- nection v/ith the “Vaje” tlie študent criticai public- ation.

It will be an evening of excitement and thrills, an eve¬ ning that has been looked for- ward to ever since the Flashes and Sokols put in their špirit stirring championship battle last winter. — Hundreds of eager fans will hurry to theneighbor- hood town hali to yet their first glimpse of the Champion Sokols, the rejuvenated Flashes, Spar¬ tan, Geo. Washingtons and the mystery quintets, Silver Masks and Progressives along with the flashy St. Anns and Comrades. It . should be a great evening for 'overs of girls basketball, and a stili greater evening for the performers who will again hear the joyous cheers of their loyal member rooters. Opening Game at 7:00 When Butch Sulak who will referee the games this year blows his vvhistle to start the first game at 7:00 o’clock, two no less formidabie rivals ■ than the Comrades and Spartans vvil Ise facing each other waiting for the tip-off. Both clubs have large f ollowings. After this jamboree the Geo.' Washingtons will take the - floor against the St. Ann’s. The time for this clash has been approximated to begin at 7:45. Charnpions Piay at 8:30 The -Progressives who hail from out Euelid Village are newcomers in the cireuit. Their relative strength however, can be judged in. their recent vic- tory over the St. Ann’s. The lat ter club has made a strong bi d for Inter - Frat honors last year. The defeat at the hands of the Progressives therefore stamps the Euelid Villagers as a mightly tough aggregation. Just how tough they are will be demonstrated Wednesday when they stack up against the Cham¬ pion Sokols. The present title -bearers loom as strong as ever and appear at this early date like the favorites to play in the finals. — A defeat for the S. N. P. J. five would be no sjiame for them. Whereas a victory wiil certainly put them ahead of the league for sopie time to come. Silver Mask ? Flashes 9 :15 The strength of 2 clubs that possess a degree of uncertainty insofar as their chances for the toga are concerned are the newly entered Silver Masks and the fi- nalists of last year the K. S. K. J. Flashes. The Silver Masks py andp-cmwy cy shrdlu mm f it is being vvhispered have a snappy and troublesome team which is according to advance dope destined to finish verv near the top.—They may be handicapped in a way because of their size. The K. S. K. J. Flash¬ es who are being backed by Mr. Frank Grdina, furniture dealer have an even chance to be in the running. Although the men- tors of the K. S. K. J.’s would have one beiieve they will finish near the bottom, it is our hum- ble opinion that with the lead- ing point scorer and outstand- ing player of the loop Jo. Laur¬ ich back again this year the Flashies will be anything but a “bed of roses.” The Orels have not entered the league as yet. Thsy have until Monday to file their entry fee. NEW ST.

In addi- tion to cofaching 'the St. Ann basketeers he is also grooming four teams at the Goodrich House. These include classes. E, D, C and B. # V Johnny is quite a player him- . self having playecl with the Goodrich “Bs” last year who won the gettlment championship in four consecutive years and finished in the šemi finals of the city wide tournament for two years. This is his first season at the St. Clair Neighborhood Center and he expresses himself very favorably with existing condi- tions : nertaining to the basket- ball league. The Sokols of 1930-31 will pre- sant practi*ally the same line- u P this season as they did when they won the Inter - Frat title, v/ith one possible, excsption and that is Agnes Blatnik who will be unable to play this year. Coach Vic Zaletel however, feels that Franceh Klopec forriier St. Ann flash w;ll fill in very capa- Uy at the guard position form- erly played by Blatnik. Vic also has a.new find in Millie Debevec who will make her debut : cwith the Sokols as a substitute. Other stars on the roster are Frances Slapar, Molly Knaus, Christine Brezovar, Ann Gasner- ic, Frances Klopec and Vera Kushlan. The Gymnasts won ni,n e out of ten games played preliminary to the championship series.

H U This squad is clad in purple and gray uniforms and are known in this neighborhood as the “Comrades.” U H If “Angy” Snider, ali around athletic young lady, does as well in basket-ball season as she dia in miniature golf last summer —the S. N. P. J. lodge will have a wonderful forward! She prac- tices every Wednesday with this squad—and also captains a bas¬ ket-ball team at East Hi. 11 JI We ali remember Ann Gor¬ niki fine display of her basket- ball ability last year when she wore the red and vhite Sokol uniform and helped them win the champ’s cup! This year she changed uniforms and hopes to become a Comrade Champion! 11 H Rose Kodrich, the little snap- py forward who was one of Com- rade’s girls last year, is again vvith the team and promises to help her team make a good showing in the league games. She figgers—“We’re gonna profit by ali the mistakes and blunders some of us made last year, therefore we’re gonna be so much better this season.” H 11 Well—here we have another Coach in Sammy Richer, who is coahing the spunky, red and gray uniformed Geo. Washing- ton team. H 11 Do you know what little Slo- vene girl received a ribbon and medal at East Tech for placing second in their track meet a year ago? Well—she’s ‘Shorty’ Stanonik, and the fastest run- ner in th e league! She’s play- ing guard and with her speed— we expect the other league for- wards to get chased and chased badly! II U Ann Zakrajšek, who is going to help Olga Peterlin guard, is quite confident and expects to show the Comrade fans just hov much a team can do if it vili fight and not give up! That’s the špirit, Ann! 11 H Rudy Turk, with the help of Frankie Pohar, is both coaching and managing the team! Rudy, quiet coll-headed boy, plans to surprise some of his team’s fol- lowers this year. Whatca doin’ Rudy ? Teachin’ the girls some new tricks? 11 H By the way—we asked Rudy v/hat he thought of the other teams and also hov he thinks his team will rank in the league —but—ali Rudy would say was, “I really can’t say. I haven’t seen any of the other teams, so a hasty judgment might be a little “previous!” H U Rudy evidently isn’t saying much—but—oh boy!—we bet he’s thinking a lot! That’s the best way—Rudy 11 11 Frank Faletič, manager, is helping Sammy coach, beside taking čare of the business end of it also! H 11 Angela Hlabse, forward; An- na Jaklich, guard; and Julia Bouha, star guard and captain, are the only three girls that were vith this team last season. i U II Leona Lukek, center; Marie Krebel, guard and Margaret Vintar, forward are the nev members of the quintet. 11 U Jennie Gorencic, a forward, who is also new to the league, is the only girl on this team who has played an outside team. This being vhen she played with Holy Trinity Commercial. H H The Geo. Washingtons vere quite unsuccessful last year. They p!ayed 10 games and lost 10, but, in spite of last year’s record, they’re ccming out to fight and win—and give reason to their follovvers to be proud of them! U H The team is much stronger this year than it was last — even though fifty precent of it is nev and unexperienced ma¬ terial. (Per Sammy - the coach). II H Well—we alf admired you, girls for your “spunk” and “de- termination” when ali the oddc were against you—and if you keep it up—we’re sure you’ll make a much better season of it this year, than you did last! •v?®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®*®: % L GRDINA JR ENTERS K. S. K. J. TEAM IN INTER- LODGE LEAGUE Mr. Anthony Grdina Jr. surprised everybody uy making the sudden an- nouncement that he will en¬ ter a bowling team in the Interlodge league to re- place the Loyalites who have been forced to drop out because of the lošs of two of their best keglers. Mr. Grdina will captain and bowl with the K. S. K. J. quintet.. He will have the Services of Stan Kroma- “of 298” farne” and ‘Skang’ Slapnik The new qulntet should be especially commended because it will enter a handicap, • replacing the Loyalites who have only four games to their credit this year.
