The biggest day that the Ljub¬ ljana Sokols have yet had so far during their short career will be Saturday July 18th, when they hold their first dance at the So- ciety Home on Rechar Avenue, corner of Ljubljana Drive. It is their first opportunity, since their recent organization, to replenish their treasury and in this way prepare for their extensive win- ter’s program. The committee is sure that you will have a won derful evening of dancing and refreshments, if you will but only turn out in large numbers and support this budding organi zation. WELCOME S. S. P. Z. OPERATED Miss Frances Duša, 1401 East 55th Street took sick suddenly and was rushed to Emergency Hospital at East 55th St. where she was operated upon for Ap- pendicitis. The operation was successful, and Frances is well on her way to recovery. We met in the cafe “Emona” after the performance of “Tales of Hoffman”, the soprano Miss Jeanette Perdan, the tenor Mr. Banovec and myself. As Miss J. Perdan will remain in Ljubljana for one year and as I have heard so much of her Kefore she came here I desired to get her life story. Then follows a very detailed story of her career, which is well known to Clevelanders. It teliš how she studied at Baldwin Wal- lace, describes the small town of Berea and the teačhers of Miss Perdan at this college; further it relates that Miss Perdan came to Ljubljana to study~under Profes- sor Hubad. The article then jumps to Sve¬ tozar Banovec and teliš how he had 85 concerts while on tour through America and teliš what Svetozar Banovec said of the A- merican Slovenes “My impres- sions of the American Slovenes are beautiful. They are very hos- pitable people, having received me in great fashion and being my hosts the entire time. They cared for me more than for themselves. A whole host of prominent Clevelanders are then mentioned and it is with warm words of praise that Miss Perdan talks a- bout these people who are the leaders of the Slovene cultural life. In the first plače our poet Mr. Ivan Zorman is mentioned. Then his brother Charles, .pianist; Mr. Ivanush who led the production of ‘Gorenjski slavček’, “Urh Grof Celjski’’ and his own work “Tur¬ jaška Rozamunda”; Miss Irma Kalan the pianist, and the violin¬ ist Mr. Rudolph Perdan who has opened a studio in the Slovene National Home; Mrs. Mary Iva¬ nush soprano. and sister of Vatro Grili, editor of Enakopravnost. Mr. Primož Kogoj leader of many singing societies,; Mr. Per¬ dan, Ivan Rakar, Srnovrsnik, so¬ prano Lausche, alto Mary Udo- vich, who have made many re- cords,; soprano Molly Kozely ; tenor Louis Bele; baritone Pluth, alto Josephine Milavec. Miss Perdan then told that 60.000 Slovenes live in Cleve land having eight national homes wheYe they hold marty drama- tic productions. The largest par- ish school is owned by the Slo¬ venes of St. Vitus Parish, telling that now they are building a large new church. She further teliš how the Slovenes have a weekly radio hour, under the direction of Dr Lausche. It is gratifying to see that A- merican Slovenes, when they go abroad shovij speak so good of us and it shows that Miss Perdan will make a good name for the American Slovenes while in Eu¬ rope. Mr. Peter Rotter, who has re- cently been elected to the office of dean of St. Paul University is ! receiving exceptional attention inasmuch, as he is the first Slo¬ vene to hold that envied post. The opportunity which has been given to him at the present time will test his powers of ad- i ministration, his abilities as a moulder of human character and efficiency in training the minds of the young men who come to seek knowledge at his University. Undoubtedly the strong Slo¬ vene background which he has experienced will lead him to suc¬ cess in the commentable work he has chosen for himself. 1 He was bom, February 2, 1 895 in the beautiful mountaneous re- gion of the Alps, Gorensko in Jugoslavia, which is the birth- place of the famous poet Prešeren and of our well known and great- ly loved poet, Ivan Zorman. Mr. Rotter was educated in the village school under the di¬ rection of the usual strict but kindly schoolmaster. After com- pleting his hectic career in the village, he received his education in the gymnasium, a school which prepares for the university and in which the classical languages play the essential part of the school curriculum. The golden dreams of Amer¬ ica that inspired the Slovene em- igrants were also reflected in the desires of the jyoung lad, and he, too, set upon the long journey from home, which brought him to Cleveland. In America, he had the diffi- cult experience of learning a new language and at the same time continuing his academic educa¬ tion. However, he was soon a študent at Adelbert ^ College of Wester.n Reserve University and he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from that school. He at- tended Harvard where he was awarded the Master of Arts de¬ gree in Business Administration. Although he had a skilfull ac¬ ademic training, opportunities did not appear at every turn. The young man had to contend him¬ self with the little that life offer- ed him, but during his špare mo- ments he continued to sharpen his talent and to acquire a broad- er and a more thorough knowl- edge of his particular field of work. In the fall of 1926 he was offered the post of instructor of economics at Chreighton College in Omaha, Nebraska. The school board saw a leader in him, and kept him on the staff for four years. He chose Miss Mary Mevzeh who was one of the very pop?- lar belles among the American Slovenes in Cleveland, for his bride in the summer of 1927, to N B C NETIRK ‘Balkan Mou n tain Men” Broad- cast Every Sunday Afternoon ANNOUNCER PAYS TRIBUTE Tp SLOVENES Millions Afforded Opportunity to Hear Slovene Songs National Athletic Board of S.S.P.Z. Meets Tomorrow Many States Send Delegates HUGE ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM For the past month the Balkan M ! ountain Men have been broad- casting over a coast to coast net- work from the National Broad- casting Company studios in New York. The program begins every Sunday at .2 i30 P. M. and features m a n y Slovene songs, thus spreading the Slovene song’ ali over the land. We can surmise that there are at least a million persons listening to the program and ali appreciative of its high quality. To have the greatest broadcasting company in the world send out its songs on a network that covers' the entire nation is a high honor indeed and is the greatest triumph the Slo¬ vene song has yet enjoyed in this country. During the broadcast Berni’s Tambourica Orchestra plays the mušic with Mr. Ivan Blazevich and Mr. Ivan Ribic, a slovene from Domžale singing baritone and tenor respectively,- In the course of the program the an- nouncer describes the various cus- toms, of the Balkan nation, the beauty of their lands and re- counts a little of their history. Every song is introduced with an explanation and s,ne beautifuk,, Cleveland, tribute paid to it. On one occasion the announcer paid a very high tribute to Slovenia with the fol- lowing words: “Hail Slovenia, the plače of earthly paradise, with its rugged mountains, shady trees, and quiet peaceful country- sides. From this romantic land, a peace loving land, a land ac- customej to foreign oppression, we bring to you two charming bits of melody and song depict- ing a deep yearning, almost bordering on sadness, and yet with a touch of gladness. One is a plaintive little love song and the other a tribute of an emigrant to his native land.” “Brez Tebe Draga Ljubica” and “Bodi Zdra¬ va Domovina” followed upon this encoradum. Other Slovene songs having been presented on this broadcast are “Po Jezeru Bliz’. Triglava” and “Bratci Ve¬ seli Vsi”. That ali these songs are well received by the listeners can be seen by the many com- ments that have been published on them by the radio editors of the English dailies and the many comments received by the Nat’1 Broadcasting Co. In fact one song was so well liked that the orchestra was forcecl to repeat it last Sunday. Tune your radio every Sunday from now on to \VTAM at 2:30 Cleveland Lodges of the S.S.P.Z. Hcsts to Visitors The National Athletic Board of the SSPZ will meet tomorrow July 18, at 10 a. m. in the Slo¬ vene National Home on St. Clair avenue. This athletic conference is the first in the history of the SSPZ organization, and the first meeting to be entirely in the hands of the younger English speaking lodges. The purpose of this convention is to bring the members of the various SSPZ lodges throiighout the country in- to closer and friendlier contact and to formulate a complete pro¬ gram of sports for the coming year. Ali English speaking lod¬ ges of the SSPZ throughout the country are sending delegates to this meeting. It will be the duty of the Spartans, Utopians and Rovers of Cleveland, Collinvvood and Euclid respectively to act as hosts to these visiting guests and brother members, and we are sure that they will be equal to the task as plans are already be¬ ing made to make an interesting week-end for ali the visitors and show to them the hospitality of The week of July 19th should therefore prove to be one of the biggest weeks of the SSPZ history. Mr. Stanley M 1 . Tisol who has been appointed by the supreme board of the SSPZ as the com- missioner of athletics is calling the meeting in an effort to make an extensive sports program for the SSPZ. After conferring with ali the various lodges it has been decided to hold the meeting in Cleveland, and it is the most fit- ting plače for such an event, for, besides being the National Sports Center, Cleveland SBPZ lodges have always had the reputation of being the most active in sports of any other lodge of that organ¬ ization. The Spartans possessed a crack bowling team and the girls’ Inter-Frat basketball team was always well on top. The Cleveland Journal joins with the Spartans, Utopians and Rovers in extending to the visting dele¬ gates a most hearty welcome.

In the spring of 1931 he was chosen to the post of dean of St. PauFs University. The big chapter in Mr. Peter Rotter’s life is undoubtedly stili to be written. The limits of his success lie within the man him¬ self and the higher his attain- ments will be in this great under- taking, the greater will be the pride of the American Slovenes when they will speak of him and say, “Yes, he is ours”.

It is such incidents as these that help to further the. world’s knovvdedge of Slovene and bring its beautiful songs and melodies to the world at large, and these incidents also go to show that the vvorld is r.ecognizing the Beauty of Slovene.

Otlier® Talk Al»out Us Božidar Jakac’s Impressions of America (Continued from last week) There are stili a few obstinate Slovenes vvho think that the Siio- veneš have contributed nothing to the development of America and therefore consider themselves so inferior as to be ashamed to teach their children that they are Slovenes. At least that is the impres- sion we get <^ut of a statement vvritten by one who calls himself “A Real Slovene” It reads “Let’s check this talk about our national- ity and get to work and do something that will make others talk about us.” Although we are loath to praise ourselves, stili for the enlight- enment of those miserable people vvho stili flounder in darkness we must teli that the Slovenes need do no more to have others talk about them; for they have already done enough to be held in the highest esteem by ali other nationalities. America has gained and will continue to gain as much from Slovenes as from any other nation. Although but about a quarter million Slovenes are scattered through the vast 120 million popu lation of America, they have enough to shovv to the world that they need not be ashamed to compare their accomplishments with the largest nation of America. Slovenes in America have done so much that ali other nationalities look up to them, praise them and consider them one of the most Progressive groups of the country We have much to shotv and we can show it ali the more proudly, for it was ali accomplished by hard labors. Our fathers who built such a good reputation for the Slovenes came to this country penniless, and ali that they did for America was done by the sweat of their brows. Stili, they did enough to be rememberec in American history to ali posterity. Is it not slander, then, that someone should claim that the Slovenes have done nothing! In America, Slovenes have National Homes, Churches, Schools Banks, Beneficiary and Cultural organizations and out- standing men. Their singers have gained wide recognition, they have film stars whose names are flared in bright lights down pictur- esque Broadway. We have artists who are known far and wide for their works. There are writers recognized by ali leading ma- gazines, poets whose works are consumed as fast as they are print- ed, composers of classical or popular mušic—ali are products of the Slovenes. We have newspapers with an average output of some 100.000 copies. Cur radio programs, besides being given in many communities, are at present being sent over a coast to coast network. Our accomplishments have often been expounded upon on the radio by emminent speakers over nation—wide chains. In the past, Slovenes have played as great a part in the making of American history as any other nation. In the middle part of the last century Slovenes exerted the greatest civilizing influence in that vast country around the Great Lakes. By sending out mis- sionaries, the Slovenes did more for the Red Man than any other nation of its size. One of our missionaries, Bishop Baraga, is even called “The Father of Indian Literature". Again, in the world war, Slovenes have played such an important part, that they have been specially mentioned during the Pariš Peace Conference. The exact quotation is: “the vvork of skilled Slovene mechanics in the factories of Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland and Pittsburgh contributed toward the vvinning of the war just as much as an army of 25,000 fu!ly equipped soldiers.” We could recount numerous other facts about Slovenes, but this is sufficient to shovv to any sane person that Slovenes have done plenty and are exalted and praised by ali; and that it is a great privilege and no shame to say “I am a Slovene”. “Ivan Zorman” Club With the aid of the tenor, Sve¬ tozar Banovec, Jakac plans to or- ganize the “Ivan Zorman” Club, because Mr. Zorman is a repre- sentative cultural pioneer and leader of the American Slovenes. The purpose of the club will be fvvofold:, inform the Slovenes in general of the true condition, needs and hardships of our im- migrants and to have a close link with them, seeing to it that when the American Slovenes come for a short sojourn to the old country they will get a true view into the cultural life of their Jugoslav brothers and in this way make their visit pleasant. V Slovene Youth Almost Americanized The problem of our younger set in America is a very grave one. The younger people are al¬ most ali Americanized already, and it is high itime that it be saved. It seems to me that Mr. Banovec and myself became liked by the younger set, over vvhich the older people had 1 al- ready dispaired. The young and the old are divided into tvvo camp«;; the former English an the latter Slovene. Although they stili understand Slovene they al- ways tssociate among themselves in English. Awaken in them their nationa!ity špirit, that is the prin¬ cipal thing that must be done— for we must build on these in fu- ture years. Ali new Slovene books should be sent there; this small sacrifice would bear much fruit. History cf His Travels On the 1 6th of April 1929, I left Trieste on the liner Vulcania, bound for America. It was a rough voyage. I returned on the same liner after tvvo years, but this time we had ideal weather.

This “Cease Firing”—Fifty poems of the nevv peace is compiled and arranged by Anna Whittaker Roussell. The purpose of this little volume of war poems is ad- equately expressed in the dedica- tion which is as follovvs: “To those, who ever and wherever they may be, who are vvilling, to do ali vvhich may achieve and cherish a lasting peace among ourselves and vvith ali nations,” this book is dedicated. The com- piler goes on to teli how some months ago in one of the famous and historic halls of Pariš—Gen¬ eral Debeney, pinned the cross of the Legion of Honor upon the breast of Corporal Sellier, who on that last day of the World War sounded on his bugle the com- mand, “Cease Firing.” This col- lection of nevv peace poetry by such authors as Alfred Noyes, Vachel Lindsey, John Drink- vvater, Josephine Preston Pea- body and other distinguished modem poets carries the follovv- ing thoughts. It emphasizes the value of Peace-time Service fot¬ one’s country. It reminds vvoman that by her intimate association vvith the child, hers is the respon- sibi!ity and opportunity to lay, in the mind of the child, right found- ations for peace as true patrio- tism; and it emphasizes to youth the reasonableness, the sturdi- ness and the splendor of a vvorld vvithout vvar.

In Cleveland there is about 50,- 000 Jugoslavs, among which there are some 40,000 Slovenes. Serbs are in the minority. My first art exhibit in Cleve¬ land vvas in a private gallery. Al¬ though out of season, the critics received me vvell. Later I held a large exhibit of portraits in Los Angeles. Upon my return to Cleveland made a large exhibition of a collection of some three hundred American pictures, partly also from Jugoslavia, in the Slovene National Home.

Dramatic Incidents of SLOVENE HISTORY By John Pristov and Frank Sodnikar fpohnberger foils two SPIES The Sultan vvas furious. “Have these filthy Uskoki no brains vvhatevef. Why tvvo months have passed and not a vvord of information from them and furthermore I am novv told that they have found him out and have take n him prisoner vvhich makes it stili more disgusting. If things continue i n this way vve vvill never get anywhere,” delivered the en - raged Sultan. The Turkish Sultan certainly had cause to be angry, for tvvo months ago in June, 1850 he had dispatched an Uskoki to spy upon the tovvn Venica and also to ob- tain information as to vvhat the general Frohnberg, vvho vvas stationed in that tovvn, vvas planning to do against the Turks. “I must have information of Frohnberger’s concoct ions. I must hesitate to attack the tovvn unless I obtain facts concerning the size of prohnberger s army and the conditions existing in the tovvn. This is most important to our cause. Fetch me another spy; I must have one,” demanded the Sultan from those sitting around him. “It is useless for you to send out another Uskok, for the Venicani are suspicious . of these people ever since the Uskoki betrayed the tovvn of Kostel to us," ex - plained a chieftain. “Venica is too important a tovvn for us to evade our grasp. It is onei of the richest in ali Slovenia, and we vvill be able to obtain so much gold as vve never savv be¬ fore. And my dear subjects have you not heard of the countless beautiful vvomen that reside in that city? We neod these vvomen for our harems and vve can easily get them if vve can only capture the tovvn. We do need an Uskoki spy, let one of you go. Which one of you vvill volunteer to go 7 , interrogated' the Sultan. “Is there no ansvver? Will no one volunteer? A promotion in the ranks and first choice of the vvomen for the one vvho undertakes the task.” “I am capable of this vvork and if no one is comage ous enough to accept it, I vvill.” It vvas the haughty Schimbad vvho despite his lovv ranking stili considered himself far above his superior in the matter of dignity. “An enterprise like this does not frighten me. Those Venicani cannot contend vvith the intellect of Schimbad. I vvill outvvit them and bring back to you. Oh Sultan, the desired information,” egotized the vain Schimbad. Sighs of relieve filled the chamber. The Sultan vvas delighted, because he had found one man vyho vvas vvilling to endanger his life on such a venture. The vveak spirited Turks congratulated them¬ selves since they vvere assured of safety novv. Disguised, Schimbad departed for Venica early the next morning. This treacherous Schimbad had mutil- ated himself; he had vvounds on his head, hands and feet, vvhich made him appear as though he had just had an encounter vvith the Turks. 5'aturated vvith blqod, this gory sight begged for admission at the gates of Venica- The sentinals did not hesitate in the least in getting hira in for they did not bother themselves vvith the thought vvhether he wa s disguised or not; it lo-oketd real. Upon coming into the city Schimbad vvas de< a big surprise. He had arrived just at a time vvhen the first Uskoki spy vvas being quartered. Alas for the poor fellovv meeting a fate so terrible after he had spent tvvo months of untiring vvork in be - half of the Sultan. Allah forbid that I meet a like fate, thought Schimbad to himself as, he gazed upon the lirrrb vvrecking scene. Terrified, Schimbad lost much of his zeal to search for information.

E GAME Behind, the fine pitching of their star pitcher, Frankie Mako¬ vk the Pioneers defeated the strong ‘Špirit of Croatian Youth’ indoor team at McKees Rocks, Pa., Sunday, July 5th, by the score of 2 - 0. The game was played before a crowd of over ^000 people, composed of visit- ors from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Johnstown and Lackawanna, N. Y. Makovic was in very fine form, fanning 16 and allowing but 5 hits. Not a single put-out was runde in the outfield. Stayduhar, the ace of the Penn- sylvania team, showed remark- able improvement over last year’s form hut not enough to win. Fle štručk out 7 batsmen and was hit freely, although some brilliant lielding kept the total hits down to seven for the Pioneers. ' Danny Pavolic gave the crowd a real thrill in the 4th inning wnen after two were out he cai ght one of Stayduhar’s fast oncs and knocked it clean over the heads of the rightfield crowd for a home run. This was the first extra-base hit made off Stayhudar’s delivery this season. This was ali of the scoring that wa s done until the ninth inning 'vhen the Pioneers managed to bunch 3 hits and push over an¬ other run. A return game has been sched- uled to be played in Cleveland. The tentafive date set is July 26 at the Croatian Home Picnic on Pintar’s farm.

Just as Johnny Riško was Teaving the ring at the S5ta- dium stili breathing heavily from his gory battle with Galento we broached the subject to his manager, Danny Dunn how he felt about a Simms-Risko bravvl. He replied in the negative stating that there is no money in it. Said he in part “Had such a match been staged follovVing Simms’ knockout victory over Sandvvina it vvould have had a seli out appeah You know both boys fought; Godfrey. Fig¬ ure it out for yourself.“ That “no money” argu¬ ment is a favorable reply. If Dunn did not regard Simms highlv he vvould let Riško fight him for a pittance the same as he has done on other occasions. Losing to Simms vVould forever drop Riško as a dravving card with Simms displacing hjm in that capacity. It vvould mean losing money not onIy in the Simms’ fight but ali future fights. ♦> ♦> ♦> »> ♦> ♦> ♦> ♦> ♦> »Tj MANAGERS, BACKERS, PLAYERS AND GIRLS DOLIACK DAY I $ I Z z z z z z I ? v i SUNDAY MORNING Clairvvocds vs Boosters-9:30 Betsy Ross vs Progres.-10:30 MONDAY Whitc City Loyalites vs Comrades TUESDAY Gordon Park G.

Merry groups sat at tables and sang songs and dancers glided rythmnically on the open dance platform. The kitchen, too, did its bit, and delicious ! sandwiches and re- freshments vvere served to the guests.
