Od tedna do tedna DR. IVAN LAH UMRL- Dne 19. maja je umrl v Ljub¬ ljani eden najplodovitejših so-j dobnih slovenskih pisateljev in najvnetejših delavcev na polju slovenske kulture — dr. Ivan Lah.. Navzlic temu, da je za g koro dvajset let preživel ko¬ nec svetovne vojne, pa je v res¬ nici padel kot njena žrtev. Stra¬ hotna rana, dobljena na fronti, kamor je bil poslan po daljši in¬ ternaciji, je končno po trpljen¬ ju mnogih let, tekom katerih nuj je vedno pretila trenotna smrt, pretrgala nit življenja. Za njim žalujejo žena in sinček, se¬ stra in brat Mihael, ki živi v Clevelandu. Pokojni dr. Lah se je rodil v Trnovem pri Ilirski Bistrici dne 9. decembra 1881., toda že kma¬ lu potem se je s starši preselil v Šmarje na Dolenjskem, kjer je preživel mlada leta in kamor se je pogosto vračal kot študent, popotnik in literat. Gimnazijo je dovršil v Ljubljani, univerzo, kjer je študiral slavistiko in klasično jesikoslovje, nato pa filozofijo in pedagogiko, pa v Pragi, kjer mu je bil profesor poznejši češkoslovaški prezi- dent dr. Tomaž Masaryk. Pisateljevati je začel zgodaj in med ljudstvom je najbolj znan po svoji povesti “Uporni¬ ki”, katero je izdala Mohorjeva družba. Med balkansko vojno je bil izdajatelj naprednega dnev¬ nika “Dan”, v poznejših letih pa je poleg izvršitve samostoj¬ nih literarnih del tudi mnogo pisal za razne napredne revije in časopise. Mnogo je prevajal iz slovanskih jezikov, zlasti če¬ škega. Najbolj znana knjževna dela dr. Laha, poleg “Upornikov” so: “Iz časov romantike”, “Vaš- ’“1ka kronika”, “Brambovci”, IB! “‘Angelin Hidar”, “Sigmovo ma¬ ščevanje” ter izborna kulturno¬ zgodovinska študija “Vodniki in preroki”. Po vojni je bil pro¬ cesor na ženski realni gimnazi¬ ji ji v Ljubljani. a 'j Delo dr. Lahovega peresa je ia: ' napolnilo tudi marsikateri stol¬ pec v listih ameriških Sloven- cev, saj je bil njegov slog ja¬ sen in naraven, tako da je nje- tCl gove spise lahko z užitkom in ^[razumevanjem čital tudi naj¬ bolj preprost čitatelj. Bodi mu ^ tudi med nami ohranjen časten spomin! ► *-v. . ..; v i.; . j VOLUME III.

Vse je nekam ne¬ mirno stalo in čakalo za odhod. Vlak je imel 15 minut zamude in joj, kako so bile dolge. Pa je prišel, poslovili smo se, ločili od svojih dragih in stopili na vlak. Vsem nam je bilo nekam težko pri srcu, nekateri so bili zamišljeni, drugi pa tudi objo¬ kani. Nekaj nas je težilo in ni¬ smo vedeli kaj; domotožje ali slovo od žene in otrok, od mo¬ ža, bratov in sestra ter prija¬ teljev. Kake pol ure je bilo vse tiho in zamišljeno med skupi¬ no v železniškem vozu, katere¬ ga smo imeli sami za sebe. G. Kollander je šel po vozeh in na¬ šel skupino iz Chicage. Kmalu jih pripelje med nas in tako smo bili vsi skupaj v enem vo¬ zu. Jeziki so se začeli razvoz¬ lavati in polagoma se je zače¬ la izginjati tesnoba v prsih. G. Rogelj je oživel družbo z malo zgodbo, da so se najbližnji pri¬ čeli smejati. Za njim sta se o- glasili gospa Trček in gospa Dolinar, ki sta bili kmalu kra¬ ljici veselja in zabave. Njune¬ mu pripovedovanju,vedno spre mljanim s prisrčnim smehom, se je človek moral smejati, ako bi bil le napol živ. Polagoma se je vsa družba seznanila med seboj in neprisiljena zabava in kramljanje je trajalo do druge ure zjutraj.

Tam nas je že ča¬ kal bus prav pri vlaku, na ka¬ terega smo bili naloženi mi in prtljaga in zapeljani na malo ladjo, katera nas je prepeljala čez reko v pristanišče. Tam nas je čakal g. Volek ter nas takoj odpelje pred okno, kjer je bilo treba šteti denar; to je bilo za našo prtljago iz New Yorka do Ljubljane. Od tam spet pred drugo okno, kjer smo pokazali naše vozne liske. Seveda, ob¬ enem so jih pobrali ter jih bo¬ do vrnili, predno gremo z ladje. Ko je bilo vse v redu, se poda¬ mo na veliko ladjo “Norman- die” — smem reči, palačo mor¬ ja. Takoj je dobil vsakdo svoj prostor v kabini. V kabinah so po tri in štiri postelje, tu in tam tudi po dve, vendar večina kabin ima po štiri postelje. Jaz sem dobil številko 1058 in z menoj vred še dva druga Cle- velandčana. Eden je g. Turk, največji v skupini in najmoč¬ nejši. Sploh do sedaj še nisem videl večjega in močnejšega kot je on. Podaja se domov v Loški potok k svoji družini in je to njegova deseta vožnja čez mor¬ je. Drugi moj komarat je g.

Ob eni uri je bilo prvo kosilo na ladji, ka¬ teri je prav dobro teknilo, ker nismo nič jedli, odkar smo šli od doma. Popoldne smo malo knjige. Tragično-ironična stran tega zagovora tiči v tem, da je šušnik postal jetnik nemških nacijev, še predno je bila knji¬ ga natika&n. Hoellering med drugim piše: “Schuschniggovo opisovanje krvavih februarskih dogodkov iz leta 1934., ko so se dunajski delavci zadnjič postavili v bran za demokracijo, je falzifikat od začetka do konca.

Toda poleg tega ima SSPZ v smislu pravil mladinskega: oddelka določen en poseben me¬ sec v letu, ki bodi še posebno: posvečen delu in zanimanju zal porast naših mladinskih dru-; štev oz. Vrtcev. To je junij — mesec, v katerem prikipi po- j mlad do viška in je torej po-j vsem na mestu, da je bil izbran v to svrho. V juniju se zaključuje šolsko! leto in je torej ta mesee tudi s i tega stališča najbolj pripraven! za priredbe s katerimi na eni strani razveselimo našo mladež, na drugi pa z njimi opozorimo I na našo aktivnost tudi kroge iz- j ven naše organizacije. Vsaka mladinska postojanka Zveze, to se pravi vsaka nasel¬ bina, v kateri je mladina orga¬ nizirana v svojem Vrtcu, naj bi poskrbela, da bo v juniju na nekak način pokazala, da se za¬ nima za svoj naraščaj in da je pripravljena posvetiti nekaj truda za njegov razmah. Če je prireditev majhna ali velika, ni važno; poglavitno je, da storimo nekaj, da pokažemo, da nam je ideja pri srcu. Ako ni mogoče aranžirati formalne priredbe s programom, bo izlet v naravo, na katerega naj se povabi mladino in njene star¬ še, prav tako zadostoval. Prire¬ ditev je lahko skromna, ampak brez nič bi nikjer ne smelo biti. Naši najmlajši morajo vedeti, da je junij mesec, ki ga je član¬ stvo njim posvetilo. Še nekaj. V juniju bo izšla priloga Vrtec v povečani in bo¬ gatejši izdaji kot običajno. Ob¬ segala bo osem strani in tiska¬ na bo na boljši papir. Ker je želeti, da bi bila čim bolj na¬ polnjena s prispevki naših mla¬ dih članov in članic, so upravi¬ telji Vrtcev in starši prošeni, da otroke opozorijo na to. Pri¬ loga izde kot običajno, tretjo sredo v mesecu in z ozirom na to, da bo junijska številka več¬ ja, uredništvo želi, da bi bili vsi prispevki poslani na njegov na¬ slov čim prej mogoče. Glejmo, da bomo ideji mla¬ dinskega meseca dali konkreten izraz tudi s tem, da* bomo te¬ kom junija povečali agitacijo za naše Vrtce. Potem bomo imeli zavest, da smo storili svo¬ jo polno dolžnost napram orga¬ nizaciji in napram samim sebi. Pomnimo, da naša mladina bo v resnici NAŠA le tedaj, če bomo skrbeil, da bo včlanjena v NAŠIH organizacijah in izuče¬ na in vzgojena v NAŠEM duhu. vzame in se je posluži. Kaj ho¬ češ?

V tistih febru arskih dnevih, s tistimi ekseku¬ cijami je bila zdrobljena hrbte¬ nica avstrijskega odpora proti nacizmu. Da so se mogli za ta¬ ko glupo in kriminalno pot od¬ ločiti religiozni ljudje, ki so ‘verjeli’ v misijo mirovnega du¬ ha, se more razumeti le potom enostavnega dejstva, da bodo konservativni občudovalci in Bohinc iz Collin vvooda ter Stokel iz Clevelan¬ da..

KOMUNISTI VABIJO KA¬ TOLIČANE K SODE¬ LOVANJU Tajnik ameriške komunistič¬ ne stranke Earl Brovvder je j preteklo soboto na letnem zbo¬ ru stranke v New Yorku imel; nad štiri ure trajajoč govor, v j katerem je med drugim pozival katoličane in pripadnike drugih verskih sekt, da se pridružijo komunistom v borbi proti faši¬ zmu. Obtožbe katoliške hierar-| hije, da so komunisti ne-ameri- ški, ker so priklopljeni medna¬ rodni organizaciji, je Browder zavrnil kot “dvorezne”, kajti tudi katoličanstvo je mednarod¬ no, potem pa je dejal: “V tabo¬ ru demokracije se nahaja veči¬ na pripadnikov katoliške cerk-J ve. Mi komunisti jim ponujamo roko bratskega sodelovanja in j izražamo naše zadovoljstvo, da! se moremo boriti z njimi ramo. ob rami za iste ekonomske inl socialne cilje.” Brovvder je zanikal, da so ko- j kunisti proti katoličanom v i Španiji ter je rekel: “Baš na¬ sprotno,mi španske katoličane, ki so po večini revni ljudje, podpiramo proti njihovim ne¬ zvestim pastirjem ter njihovim izkoriščevalcem in zatiralcem.” Brovvder je kritiziral Roo¬ seveltovo administracijo radi ‘hinavske nevtralnosti” v špan¬ ski civilni vojni, obenem pa je izjavil, da New Deal pod Rooseveltovim vodstvom nav- J žlic vsem nedostatkov, obotav- ZRAKOPLOVSKA NESREČA V CLEVELANDU Pretekli torek zvečer se je v predmestju Clevelanda iz do- sedaj še nedognanega vzroka ponesrečil velik potniški aero- plan United Airlines družbe, ki ki je padel na zemlja in zgorel.

Če bi bila Moskva za¬ vzela tako taktiko zmernosti napram nekomunističnim delav¬ skim strankam in demokratič¬ nim elementom v splošnem, predno je Hitler prišel na krmi- ' lo v Nemčiji, bi bili izgledi za : svetovno demokracijo danes ; najbrže mnogo jasnejši kot pa 1 so.

Vrhovnik predloži sestavo OPRAVILNIH IN PROGRAM ZA VRTCE SLEDEČE VSEBINE: FORVVORD The part played by juvenile members m the activi- ties of our Vrtec units is becoming increasingly im- portant as their functions and purpose are more fully understood. Small children, when first organized into groups, are individualists, but with the inereasing years they tend tovvard team play, which, in its turn grad- ually develops into orderly organization for the carry- ing out of ideas on more serious subjeets. Since, with few exceptions, mankind lives in groups and each in- dividual must subordinate his personal desires to those of the group as a vvhole, the Vrtec units supply logical and attraetive means of training our juvenile members to become leaders in co-operative movements of ali kinds. In order that business and entertainment pro- grams of the Vrtec are handled with a minimum of delay and confusion, a set of rules and instructions, called the RITUAL, has been adopted by the Society. The president of the Vrtec should read it through, carefully, so that he will be familiar with the duties of his office and the general functions of the Vrtec. It is not necessary that he memorizes the Ritual vvord for word, but in using his own vvords he must be careful that they are in keeping with the original meaning. The material in this Ritual, pertaining to the creed, name, motto, flower, colors, speeches and initiation stunts, as well as the program instructions which follovv, is pre- sented in a suggestive form that makes it available for reference as a groundvvork on which each Vrtec can build to suit its individual needs. It is hoped that it vvill be found a ready aid in making easier the conduct of meetings, programs and other affairs of the Vrtec. RITUAL Meetings Orderly and harmonius meetings spread fraternal- ism and friendship among members and speak well for the Vrtec and Society. The possibility to have such meetings depends largely upon the President, vvho must be impartial and vvho can keep in view ali motions and discussions. In order that decisions of the Vrtec are valid, a sufficient number of members must be present to form a quorum. According to the Rules and Regulations governing the Vrtec units, five members in goOdstand- ing constitute a quorum. Regular meetings of the Vrtec shall be held once a month, the time and plače to be decided by the Administrator and members. When it is time to call the meting to order, the President takes his plače, raps once vvith the gavel, meaning ATTENTION, and invites the members to take their seats. Unless the meeting is an open one, non-members must leave the room. Then, two repeated raps direct ali members to rise and the President addresses them as follovvs: “The regular meeting of our Vrtec vvill novv come to order, but before vve proceed let us grcet our Adminis¬ trator, Supervisors and each other in symbol of friend¬ ship and brotherhood.” (The greeting signal is executed by placing the right hand above the heart.) After the Administrator, Supervisors and the Presi- dent return the greeting, the President raps once with the gavel, directing ali members to be seated and then carries on the meeting, follovving the routine laid down in the “Order of Business.” 1. Roli call of officers, by the Secretary. (This may be omitted.) 2. Reading the minutes of the previous meet¬ ing, by the Secretary. 3. Election of officers and committees. 4. Installation of officers. 5. Initiation of new members. 6. Reading of Communications, by tnc Secretary. , , . , 7. Reading of names and lapsed and re- instated members, bills to be paid, by the Treasurer 8. Reports of other officers and committees. 9. Report and instructions, by the Admmis trator. 10. Applications for nevv members. 11. Unfinished business. 12. Nevv business. 13. Program of the day. 14. Adjodrnment. . In accepting routine reports, such theriseeie tary's minutes of the previous meeting, a fo is not necessary. When the secretary fmishes readng. the President says, “You have heard the report of the Secretary, are thcrc any additions or 1 . ' iPauses for these and then addsi lf not, stand approved as read.” If corrections ai ’ , President allovvs discussion. then, when it h , cided vvhat chaiiges are to be made, he s> y . . are no further corrections (Pauses to allovv members t speak), the minutes vvill stand approved correeted.^ The reports of other officers and commi accepted iti the same manner. Motions and Debates . „ The President may not enter into ahy e presiding, but he may call the Vice-Pres in his plače, temporarily, (giving him the g ^.jp “Brothcr (sister) (narneJ _. , , ’ , js you pleksc take Ute chair?” II Gl e Vice- absent, some other member may be asked to preside. As soon as another member is presiding ,the President may ask for the floor and enter into the debate. When the subject of debate has been settled, the Presiding mem¬ ber asks the President to assume his chair. Any member desiring to speak should raise his hand to be recognized by the President, vvho vvill do so by saying, "Brothcr (sister) .(name). has the floor.” The member then stands and addresses the meeting" (facing the President) vvith, “Brother President and fellovv members! etc.” When several members raise their hands and try to be recognized at the same time, the President names, as the one vvho has the floor, the member he thinks vvas first to raise his hand. Ali motions must be seconded before they are de- batable or voted on. The ordinary procedure is for the President to State the motion by saying, “It has been moved and seconded that vve do so-and-so. The matter is novv open for discussion.” If there is no discussion, the motion is then put to a vote. The President raps once vvith the gavel, repeats the motion and says, “Ali those in favor of the motion signify by raising your right hand.” After the votes have been counted, he raps once again vvith the gavel, saying, “Contrary!” The votes are counted and the filial result announced. It is the duty of the President to maintain strict order during the progress of the meeting. He should see, also, that the Administrator and Supervisors are accorded the proper respect due them. Members should not be allovved to talk dUring the course of the meeting, nor leave the meeting room until it has been adjourned, vvithout permission of the President. When entering or leaving the meting room vvhile the meeting is in prog¬ ress ,the member should give the “Official” signal (by placing the right hand above the heart) and the Pre¬ siding Officer should return same. When a motion to adjourn has been made, second¬ ed, and voted upon, it is courtesy for the members'to remain seated until the President onnounces “As tliere is no other business to discuss, the meeting stands adjourned.” Initiation of Nevv Members Initiation of nevv members may be held at any meeting, but to make the ceremonies more impressive only certain periodical meetings should be devoted to them. The formal initiation can be made very impres¬ sive and inspirational. The members are seated in front of the table at vvhich the officers are seated. The room is in semi-darkness, lighted only by a candle on the table before vvhich the pledge is to be made. The candle represents the torch, the symbol of the Society. Any similar method can be used and arranged to suit the oc- casion. Then, when ali is in readiness, the nevv members are led into the room by the Sergeant-at-Arms and brought before the Presiding Officer, vvho may be the Administrator, one of the Supervisors, or some other member of a Senior Lodge. He raps tvvice vvith the gavel, signaling ali members to stand and then begins: “it is an honor to announce to you that this Vrtec has acceptcd you as a member of the Slovene Progres¬ sive Benefit Society. You have become a member of a great and povverful organization, vvhosc purpose is not only to help you materiali}’, but, also, to teach Frater- nalism and spread education among us. Herevvith you are accorded ali the rights as provided in our By-laws, but you also have duties to perform. Before ali, take čare always to be a worthy member of the Society, and ali of us vvill alvvays proudly call you our brother (sis¬ ter). Be unto your brothers and sisters as you vvisli your brothers and sisters to be unto you! In the name of the Slovene Progressive Benefit Sociaty, in the name of this Vrtec and in the name of thousands of junior members of our Society, I brotherly greet you!” The Presiding Oflicer then reads the follovving pledge and the nevv member repeats it, holding' his hand above the heart: “I do solcmnly promise to faithfully perform ali ddties as a member of the Juvenile Department of the Slovene Progressive Benefit Society and always, to the best of my knovvledgc and abilitv, be truc to our crecd, obcy the rulings and keep faith vvith my brothers and sisters. Loyalty, hoilesty, courage, vvork and fraternity, to these do I pledge myself” One rap of the gavel is the signal for the members to sit dovvn. The Presiding Officer then shakes each nevv memberis hand and con- tinues, “Brother (sister) turn tovvard the members, please. Brothers and sister, I have .the honor to intro- duce to you the nevv members of our Vrtec (give the name of each one. Accept him in your midst and aid him alvvays for the progress of your Vrtec and for the honor and glory of our Society.” (The nevv member then takes his seat vvhile members applaud.) While the pledge is being made, ali the members should keep their hand over the heart, giving an im- pression of sincerety and a feeling that the pledge is taken in earnest and good faith. Initiation stunts, if the Vrtec members decide to have them, should then follovv. These should be planned in advance and designed to amuse the members at the expense of those being initiated, the latter being put through a series of ridiculous performanccs and teasing j under vvhich they must retam, their good nature and fellovvsliip. Do not have stunts that may in any way 1 harm or offend the nevv members. After the pledge and stunts are performed, it vvould be interesting and encouraging to have the entire membership šing the Vrtec song (if you have one), or some other popular sohg appropriate to the occašion. Installation of Officers The installation ceremohy may be conducted by an ex-officer or any other member seleeted by the Ad¬ ministrator or the Administrator, himself, may serve in this capacity. Before the installation begins, the Re- cording Secretary reads the names of the newly eleeted officers vvho form in order in front of the President’s table. The installing officer then reads: “Brothers and sisters! The members of.(name), Vrtec No. S. S. P. Z., have chosen you to conduct the affairs of our Vrtec for a term of one year. The progress of the Vrtec and Society depends largely upon you. I hope you appreciate the confidence vvhich the members reposed upon you, so that you vvill faithfully and carefully conduct the affairs of the Vrtec. Be just tovvard ali and be laborious! Be orderly, so that the members vvill take you for an example! Defend the rights of the individual members of the Vrtec and of the Slovene Progressive Benefit Society against ali enemies in or outside of the Organization!”. “By electing you vve have proved that vve trust you. But it is your duty to act in such manner, that vve shall proudly and vvith satisfaetion talk about our officers.” “Before you take your places, I ask you in the presence of ali members: Are you vvilling to take čare that the By-laws and ali Vrtec and Supreme Lodge decisions shall be obeyed? (Ansvver “Yes!”) Are you vvilling always and everyvvhere to take čare and act for the benefit and progress of our honorable S. S. P. Z.? (Ansvver “Yes!”) Then take your trustworthy places and vvork constantly for the benefit of our Vrtec, indi¬ vidual members and for the progress of our Society.” After the pledge has been taken, the installing of¬ ficer asks the nevv officers to take their respective places and surrenders the gavel and this Ritual to the President. Speeches When Accepting Office “Brothers and sister! I vvant to thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me. I vvill serve you ali as a member o fthe Juvenile Department of the Slovene Progressive Benefit Society to the best of my ability. It is my sincere wish that vvith your help and that of our Administrator and Supervisors vve vvill be able to build one of the outstanding Vrtec units in the S. S. P. Z. I thank you.” or “Fellovv members! Truly it is a great honor you have given me, and it is my hope that in the coming year, vvith your assistance and that of our able Ad¬ ministrator and Supervisors, I may be able to add something more to the record of achievements vvhich vve, as members of our Vrtec are so proud. I thank you.” Speeches When Retiring From Office “Bothers and sisters! I extend my congratulations 1 to our newly eleeted President and wish him the best success in leading the Vrtec in its future ventures. The members in general gave me loyal support during my term of Office for vvhich I am deeply graetful, and the same špirit of co-operation and assistance should be accorded the nevv officers. It vvas a pleasure to vvork vvith our Administrator and Supervisors who, at ali times, stood by me in ali activities and problems con- fronting us. In closing I vvant to thank you ali most heartily for your co-operation. I thank you.” or “Brothers and sisters! It is vvith pleasure that I give up my Office to brother (sister) . for I feel sure that it vvill be in capable hands, and I herevvith retire to be one of the members on vvhom he (she) and the remaining officers may count for such Service and assistance as they may desire to accept. I thank you.” Vrtec Creed It is customary for junior groups to adopt a CREED and to repeat, it at the first and last meetings of the year and, also, at ali initiation ceremonies. The duties of the members, vvhich is a part of our Vrtec By-lavvs, make an appropriate creed, but each Vrtec may com- pose its ovvn creed provided it stays vvithin jurisdiction of the By-laws and Constitution of the Society. Here you have an example of a creed: It shall be my honest endeavor as a member of our Vrtec— (a) To attend its metings, entertainments, socials and other functions. (b) To co-operate vvith and shovv respect to its officers. (c) To be loyal to my Vrtec in thought, vvord and deed. (d) To be honest and vvilling at ali times to PLAY FAIR. (e) To be slovv of criticism and quick of praise. (f) To develop in myself an appreciation of the finer things of life. (g) To be helpful to my fellovv members, particu- larly, in times of need. (h) To guard my health and assist others in guarding theirs. Choosing a Name Every active Vrtec should have a name. It is not enough that it be knovvn only by the numerical desig- nation assigned to it by the Society, for fevv people, outside the Vrtec unit’s ovvn membership, čare vvhether its number is ten, one hundred or any other number, but if the Vrtec is called by a name that is attraetive and easily remembered, it vvill soon become a byword in its community circle, especially, if its achievements in entertainment, cultural programs and athletics are out¬ standing in comparison vvith those of other Progres¬ sive groups of boys and girls. When choosing a name, give each suggestion careful consideration, so that once the name becomes official, there won't be any need of making a change in the future. Choose a name having reference to some high ideal, one denoting a quality such as LOYALTY, TRUTH, COURAGE, STRENGTH, CO-OPERATION, etc. Choosing a Motto A motto serves as a guiding rule for the present and future. Nearly ali organized junior groups, similiar to our Vrtec units, have mottos expressive of ideals or aims of the Society of vvhich they are a part. A motto is usually either a short phrase or single vvord and may be either in Englžsh or some other language. Each motto sets a goal to be reached, or expresses an ambi- tion to achieve better things ,and Vrtec members choosing a motto for their unit should always bear in mind the thought it embodies and strive to live up to its teachings. Flovvers and Colors The meaning or symbolism of flovvers and colors dates back to the earliest times, and because they have been handed dovvn to us through the different times and different people, many of the flovvers, as vvell as colors, have several meanings attached to them. It is not necessary that these symbols be adopted by your Vrtec for some junior groups disregard them entirely. But, if you decide to have these symbols, you are ad- vised to make careful study of the color combinations and the flovvers proposed by the members before mak¬ ing a final choice. The colors should harmonize vvith each other and the flovvers, both in meaning and ap- pearance, so that vvhen combining them together they vvill expresš the true aim of the Vrtec. PROGRAMS Children naturally love social life and gayety. They enjoy participation in sports, games and čontešts of ali kinds. Entertainment programs, drill teams and gymnastics, too, come in for a large share of their en- thusiasm and usually inspire the m to develop their talents on a higher standard. Picnics, outings and parties are other forms of activity vvhich provide an outlet for their pent up thoughts and energy. It has been proven that boys and girls, trained in social, cul¬ tural and athletic endeavors, quickly form a strong sense of responsibility and appreciation for things that are useful in later years and, nearly alvvays, upon their transfer to the senior department of the Society, im- mediately, become active in lodge vvork, bringihg vvith them a nevv kind of stimulation. and interest. Programs for meetings and other occasions should be planned from the standpoint of fraternity, enter¬ tainment, education and exercises. They should be so diversified in their arrangement that no tvvo or three consecutive programs are alike. Their purpose should be, primarily ,to build character and friendship, to de¬ velop keener minds and healthier bodies and to gener- ate a stronger desire for co-operative activities. Every encouragement should be given the members to discuss the subjeets and material for future programs. Every avenue of self-expression should be left open to them in this field. At the same time, the Administrator and Supervisors should be on the lookout for leaders by studying closely the character, personality and ability of each member. Leadership qualities in Vrtec mem¬ bers vvill take root much faster if a correct analysis is made and used as a guide for betterment. Sometimes, because of a vvide difference in the ages of members, it becomes necessary to divide them into groups, permitting boys and girls up to age tvvelve to have their ovvn meetings and social affairs and those above that age to have theirs. This method of supervising has proven successful vvhere memberships are large. In planning programs of any kind, the Administrator and Supervisors should keep in mind that members in their “teen” age are adults in anticipation. They vvant to do things in an adult manner and for that reason it is advisable to let them plan and carry out as much of the program as their ability vvill permit, but as soon as they have reached the point vvhere they need the assistance of adult advice and aid, the Administrator and Supervisors should lose no time in stepping in and giving them a hand. The follovving are sugges- tions vvhich may be used for future programs. Receiving The Charter In order that a Vrtec may have the right to exist as a self-governing unit, a charter must be obtained from the Supreme Headquarters. Upon presentation of the charter to the members of the newly established Vrtec, a ceremonial celebration, honoring the group and the occašion, should be planned and carried out by the Administfator-elect in conjunction vvith members of the senior lodge. An affair of this kind should consist of speech-making by members familiar vvith the history of the Society, vvho can explain her principles and vvho, from their ovvn experiences, know the value of co-operation and loyalty. At the conclusion of the ceremony and speech-making, a party or social should be held vvith Vrtec members as the honored guests. Open and Play Meetings OPEN MEETINGS should be held from time to time to vvhich parentš, friends and playmates of the members and, also, members of the senior lodge may be invited. An open meeting may be informal, vvithout the regular order of business, consisting of a program of games and contests follovved by re- freshments served, vvhenever possible, by a committee of Vrtec members. PLAY MEETINGS are popular during the vvarm summer months and should be held outdoors. Ar- range for a picnic or an outing at some nearby park or grove for such occasions. In order to make the play meetings thoroughly enjoyable, a helping hand of ali members is necessary. Ideas for Regular Meetings Every regular meeting should have, in addition to the usual business session, a program for the amusement and education of members. It is a duty of the Administrator and Supervisors to invent nevv ideas for the program of the day and to encourage members to discuss the nature of program for the next meeting. Many vvorthvvhile suggestions come this way,- Here are anumber of suggestions for a regular program: (a) Short “pep” talks on the value of organiza¬ tion by the Administrator or one of the Supervisors, or some other senior member, to familiarize the members vvith the principles, aims and activities of the Society. (b) General discussions on the problems of the Society as a vvhole, the Vrtec, or nevvs topies of general public interest. (c) Musič and plays. Vocal or instrumental (group and solo) entertainments are vvelcomed and enjoyed by juveniles of ali ages. Short plays and skits, adaptable to the members, should be prepared vvhen convenient. They should be encouraged to display their talent in ali cultural affairs of the Vrtec as this vvill help them .in their appearances before large audiences. (d) Writing articles for the Vrtec Section of the Official Organ. To inspire article vvriting, attraetive prizeš should be offered for the best contributions cn topies determined by the Administrator and members. National literary contests should be en- tered. (e) Lectures, illustrated or unillustrated, tend to inerease attendance at meetings. Illustrated lectures are the more interesting of the tvvo vvhen given vvith movies or colored lantern slides. (f) Athletics should be supported. Games should be arranged by team managers to take plače right after the meeting. In such cases the meeting should be brief and members urged to attend the game in body as part of the regular program of the day. (g) Drills, marchcs and gymnastics. These are excellent forms of exerčise to develop co-ordination of mind and body. Ali vvho participate in them should be taught to be exact and to do nothing half way. Careless, indifferent imitations should not be tolerated. (h) Games and contests. Nothing excites the competitive špirit of the members more than a friendly game or contest, especially, if it is nevv and easy to learn. (i) Celebrations for special occasions. And vvhile ycu are giving thought to meeting programs, don’t overlook these: “After Election Party” in January, Saint Valentine's or Lincoln’s birthday in February, an Easter program in March or April, Mother’s Day in May, Juvenile Month is June, Independence Day in July, Labor Day and the National Athletic Meet in September, Hallowe'en in October, Thanksgiving Day in November, Christmas parties and programs in December, and last but never least, t your Vrtec Anniversary Celebrations.
