Much špirit and enthusiasm was displayed by the musicians as the first re¬ hearsal got under way. Every- one was confident that the or- chestra will be a success from the start. Ivan Zorman Director The director of the orehestra made his first appearance to the members of the orehestra at this rehearsal. He is Ivan Zor¬ man, Slovene poet and a former director of the Junior Slovene Orehestra. With Mr. Zorman directing, the orehestra was stili further encouraged to work, for the members knew that he wi!l work hand in hand with them.

ASK AID OF LOCAL MERCHANTS Sisters Advise That Parents Should Feed Children Much Milk and Vegetables With under-nourished chil¬ dren on the inerease daily, the Sisters of St. Vitus School are doing their utmost to alleviate the situation and give proper food to children who need it. A total of 78 under-fed chil¬ dren, ranging from the second to the sixth grade have been counted at the school thus far. These children are cared for by Miss Shirley and Dr. Salisberry. Milk Is Best Many parents do not know what. food is the best for the gro\ving child, contend the at- tendants. They advise the chil¬ dren be fed mostly milk, cereals, vegetables and fruit. Meat should be cut down to the mini¬ mum. Most ali the under-fed chil¬ dren cannot get enough to eat due to financial diffculties of the present depression, it was discovered. Contributes Milk Helping these children get their daily milk, Mr. Meglic of the Clover Dairy is daily distri- buting milk free of charge. He has been doing this since the opening of school. Help is also received from a fund of $25,000 given by Ex-Gov. Davis to feed children of Cleveland schools. Dr. John R. Hagan, diocesean director of school is in charge of the fund. Many children, however, are not cared for, relate the Sisters. They promise to distribute food to the most urgent cases if they only knew who would be willing to give.

WIVES, POLITICS, REIJGION We are not in the newspaper work to support any kind of political party or principle, because we do not believe that the Cleveland Journal, by its very nature, and the dedication “A Weekly for American Slovenes—the Cleveland Journal is not an organ for one or the other or even the thi::d party in politics. Founded on the ideal that it should give information of Slovene life in Cleveland and in America or to give information which will interest American Slovenes; it cannot in justice go in to the field of politics as such because by its participation in the ar- guments which motivate one side or other, it must be prejudiced to ali others. One of the greatest reasons why the Cleveland Journal-will not mix in politics is because it cannot afford to miss- its mission to the American Slovenes by antagonizing any part of the Slovenes in America. The Cleveland Journal believes that there are too many haz. ards in America for Slovenes without going into the field of politics to make things even harder. There is a rift among the Slovenes in ali parts of America. Cleveland has two or more parties saying that they are on this “side” or that “side” without anyone knoving vhat is meant by this “side” or that “side.” The situation is comic enough without adding the element of politics. Someone has said, and wisely, that If one does not varit to be another’s enemy he should leave the other person’s wife, politics, and religion strictly alone. There is more truth in the statement than there is poetry and there is poetry aplenty. The Cleveland Journal by intimation or by direct vords has nothing to say about “anybody’s” wife; does not čare vhether a person professes one. religion or another, (we do not preach), and w« \vill positively not be mixed up in politics. Not that we wish to say that politics are taboo, to the con- trary, the country in which we live is founded on the principles that each and every person of proper age with the proper certi- fication can vote and partake in the actions of the government. We believe that should one neglect the duty of citizenship thru a fault of his o\vn, he is doing harm to his government wliich is treason. We would be the first to object to an in justice which persons without scrouples would try to enforce, but that is not politics or endorsement of this or that person. Yet it does not mean that ali political material is excluded from the pages of the “Journal.” It has a plače there but it is printed with the. distinct understanding that the editors are not responsible for any enforcement or any statement made there. The editors accept no responsibility. The- names of the persons \vho submit articles are printed under them or they can be had in the Cleveland Journal Office if sufficient evidence can be pro- duced that they should be given, and then when the writer of the article has been informed. passage by the Council of an or- dinance vhich reduces the aver- age gas rate 10 cents a thousand cubic feet.

He point' out further that these bonds are retired out of earning and, there fore, taxes will not be inereased In addition to government Mr Bohn is active in fraternal af- fairs, being President of the Cle¬ veland District Chapter of the Knights of Columbus, a member of the Loyal Order of Moose Fraternal Orde: - of Eagles, and the City Club.

Bohn for Council Committee The Cleveland Journal is a weekly devoted to the interests in the life and the activities of the Slovenes and as such it does not believe that it should mix in politics.

Al though 2000 people work in th€ city hali, there are scarcely half-dozen Slovenes. I contenc that Adam Damm and Loui Pirc are responsible for this, a they have man'pulated the Slo vene votes for their benefit anc thus hindered Slovene progress The younger goneration shoulc now help to oust the Germar boss of Slovenes, and get thei own leader. It is easy to show how little the two bosses have done in th past 20 years. When Adair Damm vas at the height of hi power in 1928, there were some 10,000 city employees. Accord ing to the Slovene vote the Slo veneš should have had at leas 300 employed, but the fact tha there were so few at work make other nations laugh at our toler ance of a German boss Adam Damm and Louis Pir< sold the Slovene votes to d.own town politicians. Damm find out what the bosses want anc teliš Pirc who carries out the or der by giving h ; s subseribers one sided information. In carrying out the orders o' the bosses Pirc cannot serve the Slovenes as he must do exactb as the bosses teli him or los 1 valuable business. Pirc canno* support a Slovene if the bosse' sunort a negro or an Ttalian These men do not pince anv young intelligent Slovene inte Office as they are fearful lest he get power and oust them. How they bluff the people can also be seen from my candidaey for Council. Months ago, it was known that John L. Mihelich would not run for council, so Slovenes were looking for a dlf- ferent man. Damm endorsed an Irish, Harrison. Damm placed Surtz as candidate in order to break up the Slovene votes and thus prevent me from beating Harrison. , Damm and Pirc are making Surtz appear strong. Although the Democratic Party indorsed ali candidates, Damm sav to it that I was not endorsed. Every politician knows that the party endorsement in city elections had .V? meaning. Tho auestion is not vhich candidate has the endorsement, but which has the Slovene backing and i: he stronger democrat. In 1928 I v/ithdrev from th n ace for State Representative ir favor of Frank Surtz.

In last Sunday’s bowling feature, the Champion Choppers were to have a slight edge ovei the Young Men. But the S. D.

Fol- lowing his 615 last Sunday with a big 648 this week, he evidently is making his bali talk. Hitting games of 234, 176, 244 he led the S. Y. M. C. to two wins over the G. W.’s. Kushlan hit 529. The G. W.’s did not kegle up to standard as they hit a low 2739 total.

The Clairwood’s new lineup did not seem to get going and although they hit the vvoods f™ over the nine hundred mark the last two games, the špar- ta m could not be denied. B.

Sokols Sweep Series Paced by Kogoy’s 605 series on 203, 182, 222 counters the Sokols took ali three games from the Boosters, which enabled them to share the top position with the Spartans. Close behind Kogoy was Bencina who blasted the sticks for a brilliant 599 total of 209, 198, 192 games. Marinček did’ well as he hit a 562.

She had known that the Journal was anxious to have some story on Dreshar, a Slo- vene football star, who was dis- cussed at the Office some time before.

Baraga, for- ferent teams. vvard Dreshar, assistant coach at Western Reserve University. John was born in Hermine, 1 -a., where he attended grammar school. After graduating from grammar school, he entered the Bellefonte Academy, ( a p.rep school), where he was a three letter man. While at the acad- emy, he played football, and al- ternated between the tackle and guard positions. Finishing prep school, hc entered Carnegie Tech, where he again made the football f quad. In his first year, he wa.r cantain of the fi-p^man foot- bali team. His v/ork was of such outstanding abilit-y, that he made the varsity in his sopho- more year. His junior and sen¬ ior years found him at the helm of the varsity squad, in the role of the captain. Whiie on the Tech football squad, he played the tackle and guard position. Outstanding Victories Although he participated in ali, of the games played, as a varsity man, John makes note of the outstanding victories that Carnegie Tech enjoyed. In 1928 ^ech beat Pitt of the same city, by a 6 to 0 score; Georgia Tech, 14 - 0. In 1929, they beat New fork University, one of the out¬ standing collegiate teams in America. It was in that year, tjhat Tech journeyed to Califor- nia. to play Southern University, but lost 45 to 19. In 1930, Tech beat Georgia Tech, 31-0 and W. and J. University, 26 - 0. Greatest Thrill i When asked in what game his greatest thrill čarne, he re- plied: “In 1928, when Carnegie Tech beat Notre Dame 27 to 7! The odds were even on this game, but Tech scored a ctee!- sive victory.” Tech was one of the few teams that boasted a victory overd Knute Rockne’s flghting machines. played the whole season with- out being taken out of the game. And in 1930, in a game, in \vhich Tech was leading by a tremendous score, John wa* relieved for 13 minutes. When asked who the toughest man was on the opposing line John replied: “No man was too tough for him, for they were ali tough in the lines.” He was never seriously hurt, because as he savs: “He eould ‘juke’ them too well.” Younger Brother Entered at Carnegie John has two brothers and two sisters in Pennsylvania. His younger brother, Henry, is s member of the Carnegie Tech squad this year, in which he wili begin his sophomore year. John predicts quite a football career for his brother, saying that he will be heard from as a real football star. Henry plays the same position that John did. Worked His Way Thru College John Dreshar is one of the few men, entered in college who had to work his way thru. Be¬ ing on the lookout for college coach’s positions, he learned that Res&rve was looking for a line coach. Interviewing Mr. Davis, graduate manager, he was ouite successful and received the position. It was only last year that Car¬ negie Tech beat Reserve 40 to 8! Hobbies While football is his main šport, John also finds time to participate in bowling and in fvvimming. He says, “I also try to play golf! Real golf—not ‘goofy’ golf.” John is 27 years old, has curly black hair and what a break for girls. he is stili single. One of ivs favorites is a good cigar or a fine pipe. While at Carnegie Tech, he orepared himself to be teacher. taking an educdtional course. He does not expect to teach, but his life ambition is to*a great football coach, maybe following the footsteps of Knute Rockne. the champions the edge. Spartans Meet Worthy Fce in Flagmakers The team that has the sur¬ prise lineup of the year is the Betsy Ross crew. They have strengthened their roster ten- fold and wi!l cause many of the other clubs to have headaches, for they have strong men in Baraga, Krail and Marzlikar. The Spartans have their old re- liables to fall on in, Milavec, Wysopal, Hostnik, who is a new member, Hočevar and Urban, so that makes them heavy favor¬ ites to bring home the bacon. Boosters Aim f»r First Win Another interesting tussle will see the Pioneers and the Collin- wood Boosters toe the foul line. The Pioneers scored a surprise victory over the Comrades last v/eek but if they roli as nicely,'the League; namely, the Boosters will have to ex. Macerol and Ulchaher. tend themselves to win. Inci- dentally the S. S. C. U. wreck« er s will be out for the victory of the season having dropped engagements to the G. W.’s and to the Sokols. S. Y. M. C. to Edge K. S. K.J. The S. Y. M. C. are expected to take the measure of the K. S. K. J. boys for they have dis- played a strong lineup in their previous engagements. It seems that the Young Men are out to stay in the running this year for they have not as yet shown that don’t čare attitude that was so apparent last season. The S. Y. M. C. are taking their bowling seriously now and are danger- ous opponents. Clairwoods Favored Over Comrades The Clairwoods sporting a new lineup are favorites in their match against the Comrades. The latter will probably be with_ out the Services of (Bendy) Alich their star anchorman, and the going will be exceedingly hard vvithout him. In their first games last Sunday, the S. D. Z. bowlers hit the nine hundred marx twice only to have their oppon¬ ents go them one better. The Clairwoods have the Bokar brothers on their lineup, who are remembered on the 1929 Clairwood Champion roster. They have added three new keglers to Breshar Record Knockout In a feature heavyweight čara at the *5questrium, last Friday evening, Eddie Simms, local heavyweight battler scored the quickest kayo of the evening. In Roške of Akron, Simms was supposed to meet dangerous foe for Roške had boasted of a ree- ord of 27 knockouts in 33 fights. The opening beli found Eddie connecting with a hard right that stunned Roške. Following his advantage, Eddie scored again with left hooks and right crosses. The referees seeing Roske’s plight as he was on the verge of being knocked helpless stopped the fight giving Simms a technical kayo in less than FRANKIE SIMMS SCORES ONE ROUND KAYO The search of newer and more enterprising fields carried Fr. Simms Westward to the Califor- nia stamping grounds. Frankie a local Slovene heavyweight. after having established a good record in the immediate vicinity has journeyed to California, there to embetter his fighting reputation. Appearing on a Californian card last Tuesday evening, Frankie was matched \vith Fred Reese of Wichita, Kan¬ sas.

W. Mally, local sports enthusiast was a football star in his col¬ lege years? Yes! “Doc” re¬ ceived his first letter at John Carroll in 1916. He played on Carrolks first football team. He sa\v action in his first and sec¬ ond year at Carroll. Continu- ing his dental studies\at West- ern Reserve, he won his “R” in his frechman year. His hard vtudies kept him away from fur- ther action on the Reserve squad. “Doc” played either at tackle or at full back. After his studies were over,, Doc Mally ipined the Bartell Drugs, a trav- eling semi-pro team, for twc vcars, 1918 - 1919. “Doc” Mally is very proud of his two letters, and he is ,always ready to com- ment on football activities, of which he is an expert judge. Doc Mally is also a golfer, of no mean average. The local sports teams have always found lalm a ready contributer. Eddie Has New Manager The fine abiiity of Eddie’s heavyweight prospects have landed him a new fighting man¬ ager, none other than Tom Stanley who at one time per- formed in the squared ring as a heavyweight himself. It is with his knowledge as a battler that Stanley expects to better SimnVs prospects in the ring. Their training quarters are at Eddie Meade’s, 5902 Euclid avenue. siasts. Simms’ many friends are keeping an anxious lookout for his appčarances, and are wish- ing him success in his new fields.

GERBEC^* PANIČ IN OLD ROME Dr. Kern’s Work in Library Display The St. Clair avenue and E. 55 Street library under the ex- pert direction of Miss Eleanor Sunderland has on display two editions of Dr. F. J. Kern, au- thor and physician, the English Slovene Reader and a Complete Pronouncing Dictionary of the English and Slovene Languages for General Use, together with a reprint from the Ohio State Medical Journal of April 1922, treating on Actinotherapy in General Practice. There is also a photo of Dr. Kern and a sketch of him which appeared in the Cleveland Journal issue of June 5. Dr. Kern has ever been a faithful adherent in promulga- ting culture among his people. Although his life as a physician is a busy one, he finds time to preside as chairman of the School Board and is active in ali interests that may aid his people. SLOVENE SCHOOL HALLO- WE’EN PARTY BEHIND THE SCENES WITH MISS EMILY FABIAN After one of the performances of the novel show that the Chester Hale girls billed this week, I carried my suppressed excitement to the stage entrance of the State theatre and asked of the portly doorman if I could gain admittance to the actor’s sanctum. To my chagrin he would not share in my elation, but in a brisk command, bade me wait. And so I waited. I studied the menu charts, the letters that ad- vertised 10 percent grace to ac- tors, and a large bulletin which itemized the schedule of per¬ formances and intimated that the orchestra rehearsals began promptly at 8 o’clock every morning. Dancing was not such an al- luring prospect, after ali! The actors that passed were only youths without paint and costumery, they were only old wizened men and v/omen whose faces were like any of those one may pass on the Street, sombre, quiescent, business-like, minus ali the stage sophistry. When I was finally ushered into the dressing room, I was surprised that it contained only room enough for a large, heavily lighted mlrror, a table filled with cold cream, powder and paint, a few chairs and racks dripping with costumes of ali sorts. “What a wonderful orchestra the State has,” one of the dan- cers suggested as she entered the room. “Wonderful?” “Yes, inspiring. It is so dif- ficult when an orchestra does not co-operate with the actors.” In answer to my question the girls condescendingly and even a little kindly informed me that the rehearsals take plače in New York from where the troupe visits a list of cities. Tne same show is played over and over again and when the Circuit is completed in New York, re¬ hearsals are then again staged for another show. “Your work, Miss Fabian, do you like it?” “It is not as simple as it seems perhaps you have realized that, and sometimes it is very hard, but I am so engrossed in it that I love it with ali my heart.” A genial atmosphere envelop- ed the Slovene School rooms last Friday evening, October 23. A merry group of students, their friends and a few guests met to exchange a pleasant evening among the gay streamers of black and orange, the tali corn stalks so staidly hiding the cor- ners and under the constant surveillance of black cats, gob- lins and witches. Everyone joined in the games and dances and a “party” feel- ing prevaded the group through- out the entire evening. In the adjoining room, a long white linen covered table, hold¬ ing large vases of roses, orange candles and lit pumpkins was prepared for a midnite Hallo- we’en repast to honor the oc¬ casion. The speakers of the evening" were, Dr. F. J. Kern, Mrs. An- toinette Simčič, Mr. Janko Ro-^ gelj, Mr. Frank Oglar and Mr. Ivan Zorman who prophosied the great future in store for the school members as leaders in embedding the true Slovene špir¬ it in the American soil. Mr. Frank Suhadolnik was toastmaster of the occasion who performed his duties of intro- duction in pure Slovene. The guests were Dr. F. J. Kern the very successful and enthu siastic president of the school. our Slovene poet and instructoi of the school, Mr. Ivan Zorman. Mr. and Mrs. John Simčič, Mr and Mrs. Janko Rogelj, Mr. Fr- Oglar and several friends of the school members. Mr. Božidar Jakac, our famous artist and a patron of the school was remembered by a letter composed by Mr. Ivan Zorman and signed by the entire group present. A genuine Slovene špirit reign- ed during the evening acknowl- edging the success of this im. portant and highly praised in- stitution. Opera Composed Ry Local Slovenes BANQUET OF NEWBURGH LODGES “Turžaška Rozamunda” to be sung by Zarja on November 15 is an original work of three Slo¬ venes who have always been prominent in cultural work, Mr. John Ivanush, the director di the opera, his wife, Mrs. Mary Ivanush and Mr. Vatro Grili. The idea was inspired by the fact that Zarja, of which the composers are members, really qualified in excellent singers and as concert work was becoming a monotony, they arranged a more skillful and a more dram. atic presentation for the Slo¬ vene people. They very ingen- iously interwove the composition with the Slovene špirit and the opera may be considered as one of the outstanding works of our people. The leading poets of Slovenia were selected to weave their beautiful rhymes and thoughts into this opera. First of ali, Franc Prešeren’s short poem, Turjaška Rozamunda was chosen for the plot and the composi¬ tion was lengthened by selec- tions from Anton Medved, Si¬ mon Gregorčič and our Ivan Zorman. The first presentation, three years ago, was very sitccessful and this year it again promises to be one of the leading events of the season. On Sunday, November 8, the combined Newburgh lodges will give a banquet at the National Home on East 80 Street and the proceeds of the event will be used to ease the lot of the needy families in the neighborhood. The Newburgh group are also stepping in line to serve a very good cause and incidentally have a good time together. Times are trying indeed, and there are some who are really seriously handicapped. Attending the banquet Sun- day should convey a message of interest to everyone. TYPE LICE IjVAN CANKAR DANCE The noblest men are moulded out of their own faults. —Echo Remember—Saturday evening, October 31, the Ivan Cankar dramatic club will hold its Hal- lowe’en Dance in the lower hali of the National Home.

Come and join the Hallowe’en repast and spend a pleasant eve¬ ning under the direction of the hospitable Cankar members. There is a curious insect which tnfects newspaper offices and linotype men are particularly adept in explaining why the news-people always go about in rolled-up shirt sleeves, heave greasy hands and faces and are always distrustful of human be- ings in general. In some instances, the lice may cause premature baldness. as was recently explained by Mr. Anthony Štritof, but at every encounter, they cause a nlight defection of the face and we might say corrosion of the clothing. Anyone interested in this spe- cimen may confer with Mr. An, thony Štritof or Messrs Frank Suhadolnik or Frank Sodnikar. They will ,undoubtedly, be very glad to amaze you with the startling behavior of the crea- tures. On the Avenue DEATH NOTICE Announcement has been made of the death of Miss Olga Sto- kel, daughter of Mr. Krist Sto kel of 6622 Bonna avenue ,Thurs day evening, October 22, 1931. Miss Stokel had recently sub- mitted to an operation on ap- pendix. Our most heartfelt sympathy to the Stokel family! THE COMMUNITY WELFARE CLUB DANCE SUCCESS The beautifully decorated low- er hali of the National Home was filled to capacity last Saturday evening. A very large group gathered who greatly enlarged the charity fund which will be used to aid the needy families ,in the neighborhood. BlRTHDAY PARTY No matter what social stand- ing a woman may have, the wardrobe at these times pre- sents a baffling problem to her. The question seems to be not what to choose to wear, but hov/ to stretch the budget so that she may keep her individuality, her trimness, choose what is be¬ coming and stylish and at the same time be smart and differ. ent. A simple crepe dress with sev. eral sets of collars and cuffs will give 3ongevity. There are a number of crepe wool models that will give immeasurable Ser¬ vice. A suit with its many blouses produces variety and that new and fresh look that must always be present in order to keep fit for our calling. It is always wise to adhere to digni- fied lines that are soft, slender- izing and that produce chic. Proper accessories complete the desired effect. Čare must be taken to choose only those that give a complete harmony. Last Sunday afternoon and evening Miss Caroline Pečk of Ivan avenue, Euclid, Ohio, cel- ebrated her 18th birthday with a party at her home. Games and dancing furnish- ed entertainment. A delicious lunch was served in bouffet. Among the guests were, Misses Christine Fink, Bertha Laurich, Agnes Kom, Ann Radulovich, Frances Gubane, Albina Gab- renya and Messrs. Jack Zaverl, T. Kora, J. Kinkoff, G. Horn, ing and Ed\vard Gabrenya. HARD TIME DANCE The St. Lawrence Alumni, of whom we have been hearing so much, are holding a Hard Time Dance, Saturday evening, Octo¬ ber 31, at the Slovene National Home on East 80 Street. The mušic will be furnished by Mr. Anthony Rozman’s or¬ chestra and the admission priče is only 35 cents. The Alumni are a well-known and jolly group and this dance will certainly prove successful. A Menu Suggestion Now that these cold evenings are approaching, nothing will buoy the family returning from work more than a warm supper. May I suggest the Hungarian procedure for making goulash? Hungarian Goulash Cut 1 pound beef, mutton and pork into small square. Cut 3 slices of bacon into pieces and fry with it 1 large minced onion, adding some black pepper and a pinch of caraway seed. When the onion is browned, add the beef and stew 15 min. utes. Ali the mutton and later the pork. After cooking 15 minutes, add 2 tablespoonfuls of flour moist- ened in cold water (smooth paste), salt, a dash of paprika (red hot), several whole allspice and hot water. Stew until the meat is tender. If desired, potatoes may be cut into squares about the sixe of meat and allowed to cook in the stew’the last 20 minutes before serving. The flavorings are character- istic of the Hungarian kitchen The stew may very easily be pre¬ pared in thd typical American home and relished, of course, j ust as much as it always is in the Hungarian. By the way, did you notice that the meat is salted after it har been thoroughly browned and already half cooked. This is al- w'ays done to allow the meat to become tender and speed the cooking. There is nothing so terrific as the rebellion of sheep. —Balzac The November edition of the World’s Work carries an inter- esting dialogue written by Free- man Tilden on the “Panič in Old Rome.” In the Forum 686 A. D. Caius Gabinius pondering over the sorry State- of the business and his market losses met Pu- blius Cluvius Fundanius in the Forum. As is usual with the modern folk, they too discussed the singular and painful slumps and panic periods of past times and compared them with the phenomenal accident in which they were living. Rome, thev said, had been booming for the last ten years and enjoyed the greatest “ma¬ terial' felicity” based on the ex- ploitation of the vast Asiatic resources. The money flood trickled inte every kind of business in Rome and affected every class of peo. ple. The Roman Stock Market There was a stock market which catered to the two classes of investors, buying and selling “partes and particulae.” Every body, senators, plebians, freed- men and slaves were playing the market. Every man wlth a few sesterces could buy his “parti¬ culae” and the big man haa his “partes” to worry about. The day’s quotations were posted in the Forum and besides the “Lydian Collection Agency and Upped Phrygian Investment Co. and Betynia Consolidated there were the Eastern Salt Re- fining, Pentelicus Marble, Per- gamus Art Metal, Engineering, incorporated etc.” A Boom in Old Rome Everybody was speculating and the market soared like Vesu, vius. Commodities were bring- ing high prices and prosperous public spent money. They spent money that they had and some they hoped they would have the following month. Some of them even spent money that they hoped they would have in a year. The poorest people lolled in th-; fatness of the land. The Crash In October 686 A. D., however, a messenger arrived in Rome, went straight to the capitol and rumors began to spread that the Armenian king had broken into Roman lands and was burning village after village. Everyone, senators, plebians, freedmen and slaves flocked into the Forum and tried to seli their partes and particulae. No one, only a very few, wanted to buy and so the prices tumbled down with a bang. Depression The usual results followed. Or-, ders wer stopped, workmen were released from work, and the slump spread from one part of the country to another. Only Graptus an old wise shoemaker who stuck to his dependable trade throughout the boom, was not ruined. The Roman Solution Depression was on in full force and the only way that any one emerged was to copy Grap¬ tus’ example, “attend to his own business, seek out wherein he had not been wise, cut his cloth iccording to his need and ex- oected nothing done for him fo r 'egislation has never been able to correct the errors into which men have rushed heedlessly.” There, of course, never was such a thing as a failure of government; there was only a failure of citizens. There neVer was such a thing as a money panic;there was only a panic in the human minds. Our Solution If we compare the crises and the Solutions of panies recui- ring around our cycle of exis- tence, we must clearly realize the need to “cut the cloth to BOOSTERS’ FR 0Ll( T The Collinwood 188 S s.

The purchasing power of Slovenes would be inereased $30,000 per month and that could be very easily accomplished. However, we must do ali in our power to acclimate ourselves to our actual surroundings, and when we have been able to main, tain this correction for a time at least, well, then we will be staring good times in the face again.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY them a they shoui d program whereby write. In “Potovanje” he showed h 0 , writers should work with ti* common people, and write about Peopie’ s About fifty guests gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mich¬ ael Vrček at 3684 East 78 Street, last Sunday evening, October 18, to congratulate them on their twenty-fifth anniversary of married life. Mr. and Mrs. Vrček are two of the most popular members of the Newburgh group. They are both very active in civic and so. cial work in the community. The Cleveland Journal also congratulates them and wishes them continued happiness and success! the things close to the hearts. His third great work, “Martin Krpan” is ,the first original Slo vene story and in it Levstik gav j an example of how authors should work with a plot and hov/ to develop it. His Problems Are Modem This great literary man, whos e chief aim was the upbuilding and preservation of the Slovene language would today face the same problem in America where Slovene is dying out among the second generation. In remembering Fran Levstik on the lOOth anniversary of his birth, let us ask for another Levstik who would arise in America and instill the true Slovene špirit in American Slo¬ vene youth. FROM A BOOKWORM’S COLLECTION Bad will be the day for every man when he becomes absolute- ly contended with the life that he is living, with the thoughts that he is thinking, with the deeds that he is doing. When there is not for- ever beating 'at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he was meant and made to do because he is stili, in spite of ali, the child of God. —Phillips Brooks SLOVENE LIBRARY PARTY A hospitable party is offered by the Slovene Library, tomor- row evening at the Slovene Na¬ tional Home.
