ENTHUSIASM GREETS ZARJA SINGERS IN SPRING CONCERT PRIČE FIVE CENTS was Chorus and Solcists Split Honors of Fmest Concert of Year An enthusiastic crowd of SIo- v Pne song lovers were gathered at the Slovene National Home last Sunday evening, w hen Zarja the producers of the opera “Go- renjskr Slavček" had its spring concert. So high was the špirit that each number had a call for an encore and the singers with their reciprocal enthusiasm re- sponded to the applause which was generously given. As a concert it was something exceptional and something which is really outstanding i n concerts m the neighborhood. More than eighty members of the singing so- ciety appeared on the program, each dressed in national costume with ali the brilliant colors and the picturesqueness which only Slovene national costumes can afford. Choruses vied for honors with the 'soloists and each as vigorously applauded. Although the concert consisted of fifteen numbers of Slovene folk songs and other novelties, the concert was over in a much shorter time than would be nor¬ mal^ expectec|. Eacih number was performed with a precision and a swing that carried the pro¬ gram along very smoothly and very fast. It may be safe to say that had the program been twice as long as it actually was’ it would appear short because there is a certain joy in sitting and lis- tening to concerts which are sung by “Zarja.” Mr. Louis Belle, Miss J ose- phine Milavec, Mrs. Antoinette Simčič, Mrs. Mary Ivanush, Mr. Frank Plut were the old and known solists, while Miss Zalo¬ kar, soprano with talent, made her debut to the local concert goers. Judging from the applause accorded her, she scored in the hearts of song lovers. About eight hundred people r.ame to the concert v/hich is an unusual number for this time of the year, which again proves the popularity of the singing society “Zarja.” Silver Jubilee Celebration MUSIČ NEWS WRITES OF DE- PARTED ARTIST * * .

Among the many opera sing¬ ers who have come from abroad, one who has done outstanding work of a somewhat different cal- iber, is Svetozar R. Banovec. He came to the States in September, 1929, from the Royal Opera in Jugoslavia, his post being at the Royal Opera House in Ljubljana, the capital city of the State of Slovenia, where he has been fore- most tenor since 1922. Some of the high spots of his musical work in Europe are eight successful seasons as the leading tenor with the Royal Opera of Jugoslavia, a number of perform- ances as guest artist in various cities, several concert tours, and an appearance as soloist at the International Musič Festival at Frankfurtam-Main, in Germany, on July 4, 1927. He was given leave of absence so that he might bring his glori- ous voice and song to the Jugo- slavs in America. His tour has taken in the territory between New York and Minnesota, where (Continued on page tv/o) Ali the grades of the local Slo¬ vene parish school of £':t.

Ponikvar, the jubil¬ arian, will celebrate the twenty- fifth anniversary as priest. Rev. B., J. Ponikvar was ordained to ihe priesthood by Archbishop John Ireland; at St. Paul, Minnes¬ ota on June 12, 1906 and said his first Mass at St. Lawrence’s in Newburgh on June 24, 1906. In Cleveland His first appointment took him to Syracuse, |SJ. Y- at the Sts. Cyril and Methodius parish, a Slovak parish, vvhere he served for four months as pastor in Binghamton. August 1907 found him at Sts. Cyril and Methodius parish in Lorain, Ohio, where he remained until October 2, 1907. At that time he was transferred to St. Vitus in Cleveland where he has served the needs of his parishioners until now. During ali of the years he has been as- sisted by priests, except during the two year period 1910-1911 when. he was vvithout help- Chui-ch and School One of the great moments of his life was the laying of the corner Stone for the large St. Vitus School which was laid on October 20, 1912. The largest school attendance comprised 1 842 students when the school space was taxed to the limit- Sisters of Notre Dame are in charge of the school classes. His next great moment was when the ground was broken for the new church which is being built now at the corner of E. 61 and Glass Ave-, in the heart of the Slovene section. The beau- tiful romanesque church is ex- pected to be exteriorly finished in October of this year. It will cost approximately $250,000 with the furnishings estimatedi to cost an additional $50,000. LOCAL SCOUTS WILL CAN- VASS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR BROOM ORDERS Campaign Opening May 18th to Help Blind Society Members of the Siver Fox Tribe, the local community Scout group, have started to can- vass the neighborhood for orders for brooms made by the Cleve- and Society for the Blind. The Scouts will not accept money but are to take orders for brooms which will be delivered some time before August 1, 1931 vvhen payment is to be made. The brooms cost 75c. This broom order campaign is an annual Good Turn which Cle¬ veland Scouts perform for the members of the Cleveland So- ciety for the Blind, and keeps the blind men employed through the summer and winter months- Every wife and: housekeeper in the neighborhood is asked to co- operate with local Scouts and or¬ der a broom if at ali possible. For every broom order the Scout secures, he will receive 1 Oc credit towards his camp fee. For example, if a Scout gets 75 broom orders he can go to the summer Scout Camp for one week. The local Scouts will be dis- tinguished by the Scotch plaid neckerchief ,which they wear. No money is to be paid to the boys. Payment is made only vvhen the broom is delivered- THE ARTISTS DEPART E Leave For New Ycrk to Embark For the Old: World For Fur- ther Study and Work REUNION BANQUET TO BE HELD SUNDAY, JUNE 14 Plans Made For 500 Guests a grand ’ole SLOVENE WINS TWO HON¬ ORS IN INTERCOLLEGIATE CONTEST MEETING Th Holdi n Smging soc iety “Soča” is F arm g a P' cr >ic at Mocilnikar’s ° n Sunday, May 31 st! The East End Social Club had a meeting last Monday evening, May 18, 1931 at the hbme of Mrs. Dan Stakich, at E. 160 St., and Waterloo Rd. Cards were played after the meeting and refreshments were served. In a recent intercollegiate es- say contest, Edward L. Surtz, senior at John Carroll University, placed second, thereby bringing more honor to John Carroll and to the Slovenes of Cleveland. The subject of the essay was “Catholic Rural Life.” The re- ceiving of this revvard was no small honor, for in the list of inštitutions entering were includ- ed ali the Jesuit institutions of the country, among vvhich were the St. Louis University and the Uni- versity of Detroit. M'r. Surtz' will receive a monetary prize for his placing second, but this is not the only honor he merited for vvhen he goes after medals he gets them in groups. In compe- tition vvith the same colleges in an original essay in Latin he placed sixth. Firm handclasps, last moment instructions, choking farevvells expressed from lips that tried ever so hard to smile to make the parting and leave taking easier for everyone, vvere the things vvhich vvill make the parting of the two visiting artists and the parting of Miss Jeanette Perdan one of the things vvhich vvill be remembered for a long time.

Long before the time for the arrival of the train, the station was filled vvith the bustle and the hustle of friends who vvanted to clasp hands just before the ar¬ tists left for their homes, or their future homes. It was a scene of bustle, and yet a scene of suppres- sion vvhere vvork vvas done in si- lence or in subdued toneš. The vvhole atmiosphere vvas charged vvith expectation. Here vvere friends vvho were exchanging greetings vvith the travelers—here the porters busy vvith the bag- gage vvhich vvas brougnt by the truck loads—Mr. J. B.

The last tvvo meetings vvhich have been held at the St. Clair Bath House proved very interešting ones and shovved to those in at¬ tendance that there are numerous ideas vvhich have been formula- ted by members vvho are really thinking and dreaming of the first such venture ever to be un- dertaken in the community. Plans Made For 500 Many questions that arose sev¬ eral vveeks ago have ben ansvver- ed through efforts of the various members of the committee. The date and hali as stated above is a certainty.

A. dis- cussed the problems vvhich are attending the current and vital problems of alien relief and de- portation. Miss Aghavnie Yeghenian dis- cussed the problems vvhich the immigrants are encountering be¬ cause they become puhlic charges vvithin a certain set time and the deportation clause vvhich makes them liable to deportation. She explained ali the lavvs and the falacies vvhich attend the prob¬ lem and the alarm vvith vvhich the people are fearing deporta¬ tion vvhere no fear should be felt at ali. She also expained the seriousness of the “illegal en- try” deportation and the meth- ods vvhich vvouldi prevent such en- try. After her addiess the meeting vvas open to a free discussion ir. vvhich questions vvere ansvvered and some informal questions vvere asked for discussion.

Signed under the article are the initials “E. M. H.” whieh in the reference part of the voiume 25 of the Bri¬ tannica refers to Ellis Hovell Minnš, M. A. University lecturer in Paleography, Cambridge, lecturer and assis- tant Hbrarian at Pembroke College, Cambridge, Former- ly Fellow of Pembroke College. The 14th edition of the Britannica uses these termf which have been selected because of their adjective usage, which is the center of controversy. “Slovene lan¬ guage”, “Slovene dialects”, “Slovene literary text”, “Slo¬ vene people”, “Slovene literary language” while the bib- liography to the article refers to an article by Josip Vid¬ mar in the Slavonic Review entitled, “Modern Slovene Literature”. Probably more important tban the conšistent use of the word “Slovene” bv'the authorities at the Britannica with the bustles, the tandem bicycles and the beautiful (for those days) Victoria coach with the prancing horses, where pomp and cermony were more important than eommon sense. If people insist on ušing “Slovenian” as an adjective, where authoritative usage demands that “Slovene” be used, there is nothing to be done except that they be left alone to revel with past history and past glorv. Ex LUjriiS TKe Letter Op ene** VOICE OF MEMBERS (OR READERS) Conducted by the St. Ciair Branch Public Library. Garstin, Crosbie China Seas; A Novel of the East is the complete shift from the word “Slovenian” as an .adjective usage to “Slovene”-in the same sense by the editorial board of the International Encyclopedia as it is evidenced from the 1922 edition of that work to the supplement voluan.es published in 1930 in which the word “Slovenian” is completely discarded and exprešsions such as the “Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes’ and a complete article devoted to their literature is en- tered under the title “Slovene Literature” are used. It is quite Significant how the change has taken plače and rightly so because the word “Slovene” in the sense of the noun and as an adjective have been in usage for a long time and is accepted as the correct thing with never a faltering from that usage. Miss Fanny S. Copeland. (as well as many othevs) uses the word in her book often and so self-assuredly that it seems that to her mind there is no question of whieh form will be used. There is positively no question of the word “Slo¬ vene” as an innovation and a rebel usage that has been evolved in the minds of people who are not satisfied with that which some claim to be the standard and filial say- in the matter. Usage of the v/ord “Slovene” by so authorities has been so long in practice that to raise that queštion today seems to be a harking back to ancient days of the latter half of the last century where bombast, eurly-cued and ornamenta! letters have had their days "Romance rivals adventure in this tale of a ships voyage in GhineSe waters.

AMELIA (MOLLY) KOVACH 1107 Addison Road Phone: Hend. 4181 Chicago, Illinois — Being for- eign born, the satement of Bro. Frank Barbič of Cleveland, pub¬ lished in Prosveta that some day i will join the “Sons of the Amer¬ ican Revolution” is an unmitiga- ted lie and is made by one who is a notoriety seeker and w*ho finds satisfaetion only in person- al publicity. When the Editor barred the Sunglare Resolution from publication in Prosveta, he commmented that in “the Voice of the Mbmbers rumors are de- nied publication” yet, he pub- lishes pure falsehoods; as well as remarks ahout members which are in no way related with their activities in the S. N. P. J. The Editor is governed by the policv it is not what you write but ratn- er against whom you write. 1 surmise that the only reason why 'h e Slunglare Resolution was not oublished in Prosveta is that the Editor as well as the Administra¬ tive Gommittee of the S. N. P. J. ire afraid that it would cause an investigation into the activities of the Committee which conducted the 1930 S. N. P. J. Excursion to Tugoslavia. They know that an mbiased investigation would dis- ?lose plenty of scandal^, which voulds.be tantamount to petty graft. For instance, such an investi- gation would disclose that qual- ihed candidates for President and Vice-President in the American Plan Open Shop Industries are no other than our own Editor Bro. Ivan Molek and# our dear lriend Bro. Frank Barbič, who vvrote that every member sh °uld follow the example of Bro; Mo¬ lek. If every employer follow the example of Bro. Mo¬ lek, the workers would have to tighten their belts a few more inches. Whe n Bro. Molek, visited Ju- goslavia, du.ring the 1930 S. N- P. J. Excursion, a c ountry ruled by a dictator, another person was employed as substitute edi¬ tor. Bro. Molek divided his fifty dollars weekly salary on a 60 to 40 percent basij, thi,vty dollars went to the substitute editor for a full week of honest labor while the retain twenty dollars for himself, on the theory that he shall write reports of his travels for Prosveta. We can truthfully say, that Bro. Molek earned the eicpenses for his vacation from the sweat and blood of his sub¬ stitute editor. This is Bro.

BANOVEC (Continued from page one) concerts were arranged for him in more than a nundred cities, some of which recalled him a number of times. His programs have been Inter¬ national in aspect, covering the great works of masters from ali lands, arias from operas, of which Mr. Banovec’s repertoire contains the total of thirty-four leading tenor roles. A most interesting part of his programs are the folk- songs of his land done in native costume. Besides personal ap- pearances, he has done a great deal of radio work. The outstaTiding concerts oi his tour in the States have been for typically American and inter- national audiences. Among these were concerts in Calumet, Mich., International Institute and LaSalle Theatre, in Cleveland, Ohio; No- tre Dame College, South Euclid, Ohio; performances as “Hoff¬ man” in “Tales of Hoffman’ with the Bohemian National Op¬ era Company of Chicago last winter: a program at Orchestra Hall Mav 18, 1930, at which he was enthusiastically received by a lar£e audience. Edward Moore of the Chicago Tribune writes: “Svetozar Banovec reveals a ly- ric voice with a thrilling top to it, and the manner of an accom- olished and experienced artist.” ,The Daily Times-Lorgnette says: 'Banovec has a marvelously sweet voice. Maurice Rosenfeld of the Daily News writes: “In these selections he disclosed a lyric tenor voice of considerable power and good training, a facility in singing the difficult texts of his songs and other artistic qualities. His tour started in Milwaukee, Wis., and lčd him through and about New York, Chicago, De¬ troit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, She- boygan, Waukegan, Springfield, Warren, Forest Citv, Joliet, Dul- uth, Eveleth, etc. It is to be regretted that more Americans have not had the op- port.unity to hear these most un- usual and interesting song reci- tals, and it is to he hoped that a return engagement will not be in the too-distant future as he has made for himself an enviable plače deep in the hearts of ali who have heard him. In May Mr. Banovec returns to Europe, where he will resume his wo.rk with the Royal Opera Company of Jugoslavia. “Is the magistrate honest?” Absolutely!

The work is carved out for us and we gladly accept and plače upon our shoulders the burden to serve as an agency between the players and the puhlic. To the players, young and old, whether juniors just beginning or stars in the upper classes, whether playing in indepedent, city or fraternal loops, we wish at this time to say that we will make every effort to write about your doings. We may unintentionally overlook you at som,e time or other. This has L^ppened be¬ fore and we will be very much pleased if you will call it to our immediate attention. Our policy has always been to recognize and fooost everything in our commun- ity. In the past some events have been staged which were not in accord with our ideas. Neverthe- less, we knew that the performers and puhlic were highly interested in the outeome, we therefore did our bit cheerfully, and will con¬ tinue to do so. \Ve again remind you that we will do everything in our power and will be very glad to publish accounts of your athletic activi¬ ties.

F. U.’s just as anxious to down a po- tential champion. It is hard to pick the vvinner without inserting some “ifs” to the prediction. The Pioneers’ hopes are upon Makovic. With his usual good form and if his team does not crack on the defensive, the, Pio¬ neers should win. On the other band, the big if rests upon Twin Yerse. The S.Y.M.C.’s are a better defensive as well as offen- sive outfit than their rivals. With Yerse in good form you can chalk one up for the S.D.Z.’s. This game is to be played Tuesday on diamond No. 6 at Gordon Park, beginning at 6:30 p. m. Since either or both teams are destined to finish in the finals, a meeting between the pair at this early date should give an idea as to which way the w:nd is blovving. Comrades Favored Despite the fact that the Loy- alites won the title last year, and easily subdued the Comrades, the losers of ’30 appear to be the likely choices to win over their jinx Loyalite outfit. This is due to the fact that the Loyalites have made but two changes, neither of which gave them any added strength. The Comrades, how- ever, have a new array of tried veteran bali players. The St. Clair brigade should unquestionably finish in first division. With good sieady pitching and timely hit- ting; especially the latter in bat- ting .against Yerse and Makovic, the Comrades can be counted upon to make a very strong bid for the autumn classic. Getting back to the chances of a Comrade win over the Loy- alites. , It must be remembered that the Comrades have been fa¬ vored to win over the Loyalites ever so often and yet when the game was ali over ihe Coilin- wooders tallied more markers than the St. Clairs. Which after ali is what wins bali games, runs and not form. The Loyalites, 'o doubt, will have Jarcke in the pitching box. V/hile manager Joe Jarc is likely In a free hitting tussle the Pio¬ neers put the skids on the Col- linvvood Boosters by a 1 1 - 3 count, to capture their second straight victory. Both starting pitchers were driven from the mound under a barrage of base hits that netted the Pioneers 14 safeties, and the Boosters 10. After Barbič was nicked for two runs and three hits in the first three innings, Makovic re- lieved him and štručk out four batsmen in the next two frames. Anslow finished the fracas and allovved six hits and one run in the four innings that he vvorked. The Boosters held a two to one lead ih the earlv innings but their hurler, “Red” vveakened and was touched for seven runs and seven hits before he was relieved by The Pioneers'scored six runs in‘the fifth frame on five hits, one of them being a long homer by Yurkovic. Spretnak proved to be a good leadoff man by get- titig on base on three out of five times at bat, crashing out two doubles and drawing a base in ballo. Kuhar crashed out two safeties for the Boosters, as did “Red’’ the starting pitcher. “DOLJACK DAY” MEETING TUESDAY A meeting of the Doljack Day Committee and interested friends will be held Tuesday, May 26th at the St. Clair Bath Horse. Thus fa^th® lodges, Strugglers and Comrades have each contri- bijted five dollars to the Doljack Funti. Wildness and, erratic fielding were the unpleasant factors for pitcher Zust of the Clairvvoods who- were defeated by the Orels, 6-3. It was the second inning in which the vietors piled up five ns that practically sewed up the bali game. Tony Orazem tarted this round by coaxing Zust to a pass. Kostansek was safe on an error, Zakrajšek walk- ed., filling the bases. 'Zust then bore dowii to strike out J. Bran- celj. But again became wild and forced in a run by walking Brod¬ nik. Jeray cleaned the paths with a two bagger to right and scurried homeward on Pristov s burning double. C!airwoods Hitless Until Eighth Jeray was mowing down the Clairwoods with monotonous regularity. Only twelve men faced him in the first four innings of which he breezed eight. And it vvas not until the eighth frame that Augie Kogoy made the first hit for the S. D. Z. elan. Hrovat fAliGTOraPKCDMK Upset Highly Touted Stars :t * WINNERS KNOCK OUT JOE JARC It happened / again. One of those unexpected and unlooked for outeomes which are getting to be so common of late in ali sports. The Comrade’s powerful brigade bowed low to the spirited Geo. V/ashingtons in a'game of thrills by a close score of 5 - 4. It vvas iasi Wednesday at Gor¬ don Park that Joe Jarc led his Comrades in the bali field; he himself as pitcher against his former members, me Geo. V/ash¬ ingtons. And it vvas for fcur in- nings that Jarc held the First Presidents in check. Meanvvhile, Wieners Kubilus vvas just getting by in the opening innings. Tvvice the Comrades had men on bases but vvere unable to score. Some fielder like Mhrincic vvould come out of novvhere to gobble up a ' drive that vvas ticketr/1 for extra bases. G. W.’s Break Ice With Five After being scoreless for five play at the plate. It wa s proper baseball nine tjmes out of ten, especially since the count on the batter vvas tvvo strikes and no balls. The next pitch came right in the groove. Brezovar put everything behind his little shoulders and, sent a high fly over Ki aipz s head for a four base clout, scoring Hočevar and Kos- telec. Manager Bizil got on base thru an error; Kromar vvhiffed; Škufca follovved vvith a long burn¬ ing single scoring Bizil; Ed Yerse replaced Jarc and squelched the rally. Comrades Come Back With Four In the very next inning the S. N.P.J/s began their bid for victory. Nick Secolic and Zalo¬ kar singled in succession. Yerse vvalked, filling the sacks. Fabian then cleared the bases vvith a line double and scored a moment la- ter on Laurich s single. Four runs and no outs. Things looked bad irmings, the Cherry Tree Chop- | f-or the G. W.’s. Hovvever, the pers opened vvith a five run drive. Hočevar led off vvith a ^rounder to Tony Novak vvho up until this time had been playing a great game. Novak took the slow boundiijg grounder to easy and shot the bali high to first. Gingy Kostelec next up nailed a line drive at Novak, vvhich vvas too hot to handle and it went for a next three men vvere out ali hit¬ ting hard smashes that vvere caught. It vvas only a seven inning con- test. The Comrades made a great stand in the final stanza get¬ ting tvvo on the bricks but could not produce the hit to vvin the bali game.

The Orels marked up one in the -first half of the ninth on a vvalk, vvild throvv and a passed bali. The losers made a weak attempt in ":he last half. After tvvo dovvn, Strainic singled and scored on Phillips infield grounder vvhich vvas booted around. Zut fanned seven and granted four hits. Jeray breezed nine- teen; permitting only three hits.

Washington - Orel shindig booked for Gordon No. 7 Wed- nesday. The relative strength of the Cherry Tree Choppers is not knovvn at this vvriting. It is knovv hovvever, that they vvill have to extend themselves and give a good account in playing against the Orels. The loser vvill have to be content vvith second divi¬ sion at the end of the first round. In other vvords vve can s^e at this time the S . Y . M . C.'s, Pioneers, Comrades, Loyalites and either Orels or G. \V.’s making up the first group. The Orels have Ig¬ gie Jeray and Tony Orazem, both very capable flingers. The G. W.’s vvill use Pate in the pitching box vvith Zak and Bizil doing the receiving. Sunday Games • The Boosters and Progressives meet in the late game on No. 6 Sunday. Both outfits vvill be striv- ing hard -to vvin since both have yet to vvin their first yictory. In the early game the Clairvvoods appear to be the choice to vvin over the Betsy Ross. Frankie Simms, Cleveland’s hard hitting heavyweight, earned a decision over Buster Trenkle of Oklahoma City in a ten round bout at Ypsilanti, Mich. Simms vvon eight rounds and had the Westerner hanging on in the clos- ing rounds. Frankie repeatedly scored vvith rights and it vvas only the ruggedness of Trenkle that saved him from a knockout. The local boy scaled at 207 pounds. Simms hurt his right hand dur- ing the course of the battle and vvill have to cancel engagements until it is vvell again. Eddie Simms is booked to again fight Florian, Friday, May 29th, the bout vvhich vvas origin¬ al^ booked for last vveek. LOYALITES ŠINK BETSY ROSS The Loya!ites handed the nevv entrants, the Betsy Ross ten, a terrific lacing, the count being 19 to 6. Flashing their povver- ful offense, vvhich has carried them through many a battle, the 1 Loyalites vvere never in better form than against the S.S.C.U. ciub_. It vvas just the Betsy Ross team’s lučk to have štručk the champions' in their first game, but they vovv that their smoke vvill soon be seen in the coming games. When catcher “Toots’’ Mila¬ vec got smfitked by a tip foul last vveek, “Chuck” Slapnik vvho is also a catcher got a big kick out of it. U u No vvonder then vvhen Slapnik vvho caught in this vveek’s game got one betvveen the eyes. ‘Toots’ laughed like a damsel on her first drunk. . U u Some of the boys are specula- ting as to vvhich of the tvvo is going to be knocked out first. U u Knocked out—by a bali of course. U u The S.Y.M.C.’s have a nevv rooter and booster. He is an old time bali player vvho stili takes the game seriously. He is steadying and encouraging some of the infielders, particular- Iy Bill Simonis, the 'atest find. U IT Tvvin Yerse uncovered Simon¬ is and gave hitn his first oppor- tunity to play vvith the big “fel- lah s”. According to Hank Brod¬ nik, the rabid fan referred above he should Tlossb 111 out be a real star. U u Anyway, Hank placed his stamp of approval upon Simonis. Evidently the rookie has made the grade and may also be used vvhen playing tough opponents. 11 U Manager Yerse vvould not com- mit himself publicly vvhen asked vvhether Simonis vvill be in the lineup against the Pioneers, Tuesday. U u. He told us confidentally, hovv¬ ever, that he vvill use Simonis in the Pioneer game but is vvithhold- ing the nevvs from him because he doesn t vvant to unsteady him. U u We assume one of the reasons is that the young rookie is not familiar to playing before a large city crovvd. U It His right and left mates, Lau- sche and Kovačič are helping to steady him. U U Steady him—in the bali game vve mean—not on ‘fish fry nights’. U u It is also suspeeted that the renovvned Chief Modic is a hold- out this year. U IT ' And Joseph P. Rebound may be recalled by the S.Y.M.C.’s bali club most anytime now. The club has strings on him. S. Y. M. C.’s DEFEAT PROGRESSIVES The Sl ovene Young Men’s Club vvon their second game of the season in defeating the Pro¬ gressives, Monday evening at White City, by the score of 10- 7. The game vvas rather loosely and erratically played and the score is no indication of vvhat the game really vvas. Tvvin Yerse on the mound for the Young Men vvas never in any danger and did not extend himself to any great extent. The Progressives did offer threats in the 7th and 9th innings vvhen they scored 6 runs but in each instance Yerse bore down and smothered the rallies. Slapnik, of the Yourig Men and Zelle of the Progressives, con- neeted for circuit drives. i PROGRESSIVES third anniversary Saturdav, May 23i d, 1931 AT SLOVENE HOME, RECHER AVE Musič by Arcadian Melody Pilots ADMISSION 50c Page & CLEVELAND JOURNAL May 22nd, Tower o’ Tattles > -^-FRANCES T.

DANCES FOR CLUB MEMBERS The popular Mr. Frank Ilc and his company gave a few dance selections for the Associated Clubs, Wednesday noon, May 20, 1931 at Flotel Statler. SURPRISE PARTY A surprise birthday party was given by Miss Aliče Furlan in honor of her sister, Mildred, Sat- urday, May 16, 1931, at their home at 15313 Hale Ave. The guests were, Misses Mil^ and Slavi Milavec, Dorotha Gas- kill, Elsie Meyer, Anne Gerbec and Lucille Kelly. Bridge was in order for the What is truth? Ali nations in ali ages have time and again pondered over this perplexing yet simple ques- tion. Aristotle reigned with his phil- osophy, Euclid with his mathe- matics, Ptolemy with his astron- omy, Pliny with natural history, Galen with his medicine and Ver- salius with his anatomy. Of course, no one would dream of believing Aristitole’s crude plan of the universe which was shattered by Galileo Galilei. And now Newton’s law of gravitation so carefully hypothesised is in controversy with Einstein’s rela- tivity. These thinkers have ali tried to grasp that illusive reality and have incidentally left us a series of conceptions and facts from which we have built our modern vvorld. Yet, truth lies in the soul of every man and only the one who has found satisfaction in easing another’s špirit has felt the deep and tender content of solving the vvorlds greatest problem. One afternoon I rang the beli of the St. Vitus parish house, feeling that there, if anywhere, I wou!d find the key to my pon- dering. Workmen were repair- ing the roof -of the old and shab- by , black wooden structure of a church. The parish house itself, although it was stili well-kept, seemedi worn and exhausted.The small vvaiting room was crowded with desks and papers. I did not have to wait very long when Rev. B. J. Ponikvar, the pastor of the parish came in with his usual brisk and business- like manner. He peered at me over his eye-glasses, gave a num- ber of short commands to a few people in the vestibule and vvait- ed for me to explain myself. In the conversation that fol- Iowed, he inadvertently revealed the pride he had in the parish in which he spent most of his years of priesthood. His manner was detached, aloof, superior, but his špirit was kindly, understanding and sym- pathetic. His eyes lighted as he ardently referred to the new romanesque church that is now being built and he appeared es- pecially happy when he spoke of the number of pupils that were educated in the school. His face glowed with content as he ex- plained the progress of the par¬ ish from the time of his arrival to the great event of his life— that of erecting the new church. As he is meticulous in his du- ties, so his judgment was clear and distinct even to a greater de- gree in views which he did not Mr. and Mrs. Michael Telich of 64 E. 211 St., Euclid, Ohio, have planned to leave with their children, for Europe on Tuesday, June 2, 193].

Somehow, I understood his in- tense and profound regard which he has countlessly showed for his fellow-man. I suddenly realized the struggles and hardships of a philosopher and a thinker as he points calmly and confidently to the green and grassy plain above, waiting wretchedly and dejectly yet hopefully while the rest of us wander in the thorny mire blind- ed, cut and bleeding, bewailed and complaining our lot, yet re- maining deaf to ali pleas and entreaties to ease our situation. evening. BIRTHS Announcements are being made of the birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. John Hočevar of 1137 E.ast 1'68 St., Tuesday, May 12, 1931. I comprehend the great work that he was accomplishing, labor- ing uncomplainingly and unceas- ingly, always striving to smooth out the fatiguing and wearisome road of life for his people. CLUB LJUBLJANA Club Ljubljana on its two pre- vious annual presentations has dravvn perhaps the largest crowds of Slovenes ever grouped in Cle¬ veland. This year, also, extensive plans have again beeh arranged to provide everyone with the vvell- reputed entertainments. Miss Jeanette Sterle was host- ess at a dessert bridge party giv¬ en last Tuesday, May 19, 1931 at her very lovely home at 5806 Dibble Ave. The guests were Mrs. J. Rogel, Mrs. Edward Smrekar, Mrs. Lillie Lucic, Misses Betty Schultz, Fran¬ ces Drassler, Irma Kalan and Julia Močnik. Miss Irma Kalan prepared some delicious potato salad. We have found out a secret. She certainly is very proficient in preparing del¬ icious repasts.

The local Scout Head- quarters has given the Tribe per- mission to hold the court and it is reported that this is the second tirne in the annals of the local Scout Council that a troop has been given permission to hold its own court of honor. The Tribe Court of Honor will make First Class Avvards and will re-award the Second Class Rank. A suitable ceremony is being worked out by the Scoutmaster, Felix A. Danton with R. H. Beck, Educational Director at Scout Headquarters. Parents of Scouts and adults will be admitted to the court of honor meeting. The ‘‘Scoutmaster’s Award” will be made at this time jas will a prize to the patrol vvinning the highest number of points in the point contest which has been go- ing on for several months. SILVER FOX TRIBE Monthly Calendar evening. PLAY The pupils of St. Vitus School are vvorking very hard to make a success of the program planned to honor Rev. B. J. PonikvaFs Silver Anniversary, Sunday, May 24, 1931. The audience will undoubted- ly be well recompensed for at- tending. MENU SUGGESTION Now that strawberries may be puichased, the following sugges- tion may incidentally find favor: Plače a ring of pineapple on leaf of lettuce and cover with strawberry. Cut a strawberry in five sections and decorate around the center in a star shape. Serve vvith favorite dressing. It is an art to know how to prepare tasty and delicious mor- sels that give so much individ- uality to the party. Most of the girls have their own original suggestions. Jour¬ nal readers are kindly requested to send in their secrets. Charm! Everyone wants to be attrac- tive and interesting. Our budgets, however, have a tendency to bring us out of our dreams to face \the cruel facts of reality. We must therefore plan for effect. i Yes, Pariš is the birthplace of styles. But London, the seat of the dignified, well dressed,' cul¬ tural woman is the censor. What does the London woman vvear? Decidedly nothing that is gaudy, nothing that spells tinsel, decoration or cheapness. I have had the opportunity of speaking with a successful cloth- ier and he informs me that fur on coats is worn by very few women in England. A model is chosen, first for its style, of course, then for its material. It is always reserved, although it c.losely follows the modern trend in fashion. Surely this is a consolation. Ali a women needs is to be neatly groomed. It doesn’t matter then how straight her hair is, hovv small her eyes are, or hovv long her noše is, for she is alrqady charming.

Silver Fcx He’ps Entertain at Banquet Participation in the Camp-o- Rall to be held on June 6, 1931 was urged by the Leader’s Coun¬ cil if efforts by the Scoutmaster to secure tents are successful. This would mean an outlay of about $16.00 vvhich at this time is not available. To help fit out a patrol to take part in the Camp- o-Rall would mean an expendi- ture of about $25.00, including the tents, vvbich the Tribe is not able to make, due to its limited budget.
