ON THE COVER . . .
No. 2, Chicago, HI. — With everyone ready for this year's Lemont Zveza Day on July 18th, we cordially invite all our neighboring branches to the event which begins in the morning with Mass at the outdoor Grotto at 11:00 A.M. This gives you time to drive in from far and near. The Mass will be beautiful with Fr. Kalist Langerholz of Lemont officiating. Afterward the families will get together for the lunch and picnic. Our ladies are preparing for some fun games and entertainment will be by the Mladi Slovenci trio. The children will have races, too. I’m sure the day will be pleasant as God has given us good weather almost every year with just a few exceptions. Those traveling the southwest expressway from Chicago will find the trip very fast and easy.
Members, send in your booklets before if you can. The prizes will be called at the picnic. They are all very nice: 1st — a beautiful hand-made afghan; 2nd — a lovely hand-crocheted sheet and pillow case set and 3rd — a baby carriage set, also beautifully hand-knit. These prizes are being made by our own members.
So, be sure to bring your families and come to Lemont, July 18th for Zveza Day!

ACT IV IT IES
No. 1, Sheboygan, Wis. — We were happy with the good attendance at our May meeting, which was followed by our Mother’s Day program.
At our meeting it was decided to charter a bus to Milwaukee on June 13th to attend the state convention and also the 35th anniversary of Br. ■13. As in the past, Mrs. Anna Modez will be in charge of transportation and we thank her for her efforts in organizing this trip. Our next meeting was held June 20th and it will be the last one for the summer months.
The members are grateful to Mrs. Prisland and Mrs. Olga Saye for the enjoyable Mother’s Day program which they presented. A thank you to the Kitchen committee headed by Mrs. Dorothy Brezonik and Mrs. Mary Godez and their committee and all members who donated bars and cakes. The tulip favors made by Mrs. Dorothy Kregel were delightful and Mrs. Mary Brezonik’s “krofe,” 100 in number, were delicious. Thank you both very much. We also are grateful to the Citizens Bank of Sheboygan for their favors (ball-pens) which each member received.
On behalf of the branch, our Moth-er-of-the-Year Mrs. Mary Brezonik was presented with a plant and with our best wishes and they were also extended to all mothers present. Appropriate Mother’s Day poems were recited by Mrs. Dorothy Kregel to her daughter, Yvonne and by Mrs. Mary Saucheck.
Participants in the program were the following junior members: Mary-lin Mahler, Margie Fischer, Kathy Grabner, Tony Kotnik, Tonelle Su-scha, MaryLyn and Cheryl Kotnik, Stanley and Steven Kregel, Kathy Brezonik, Donald Shircel, Yvonne Kregel, Marianne Koblar, Wendy Eržen, Amy Ribicli, Karen Kotnik, Sandra Fritz, Anthony Rakun, and Mary Lynn Gustaveson.
We lost three faithful members in death, namely Mrs. Mary Bernot, Mrs. Maiy Dragan and Mrs. Rose Startz, our sympathy goes out to their grieving families and to Mrs. Louise Bow-han upon loss of her husband.
Our branch enrolled 14 junior members and 8 adults for April and May who are: Yvonne Kregel, Robert and Steven Marx, Sharon and Sandra Sau-chack, Mark, Michael and Steven Daniel, Beth, Annie, Mary and Theresa Brulla, Evelyn Pentek and Philip Ple-setz.

Get-well wishes to all our sick members and happy birthdays to July and August celebrants. God bless everyone of you.

No. 10, Cleveland, Ohio. — Our May
meeting was a gay one because we celebrated Mother’s Day with a party for all who attended. We were sorry we didn’t get a chance to pick out a Mother-of-the-Year, so we didn’t have one for the May Zarja.
We were very happy to welcome back to our meetings sister Čebular, who has been away a long time due to illness and she brought along her daughter, Dolly as our guest and to celebrate her birthday. Other happy faces to see at the meeting were Jennie Koren our sargent-at-arms, she returned from Florida; Jennie Kosir, nice to see after her long absence; Mrs. Urbas, our past president and Mrs. Salmich who have been ill — they were with us, too.
We celebrated the birthdays of Millie Novak, Jennie Koren and Tončka Repic.
Last month we were very lucky to have a visit from State President, Mary Bostian. We had a very nice visit with her and all the ladies enjoyed her company very much. She lias such a wonderful disposition and is smiling all the time. Thank you, Mary for your visit and hope you find time to come again real soon!
The month of May was happy for Br. 41 — they celebrated their 35th anniversary. Our best wishes to them. The dinner was wonderful and the
The 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Vertacic Jr. was observed on two occasions recently
On May 22nd a surprise party was held in their honor. The event, held at Standard Hall, was attended by 300 relatives and friends.
On Sunday, May 30th, a High Mass in Thanksgiving was read in the couple’s honor. The couple then hosted a group to dinner.
The Vertacics were married in Sheboygan June 1, 1940, at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church Their children are John of Sheboygan, and Mary Ann at home. There are also two granddaughters, Mary Renee, and Lisa Ann.
Mrs. Vertacic is the treasurer of branch 1, Sheboygan, and Mr. Vertacic is the Manager of the Park and Shop Super Market.

All of us wish them and their family good health and much happiness in the years to come.

state convention which followed was a fine affair with representation from all the branches of Ohio. Even the state president of Pennsylvania, Mary Tomsic, was with us. She came with her two sisters.
May thanks to our Supreme President, Toni Turek and also Mary Bostian, Ohio President, for a wonderful meeting. Marie Beck, secretary of Br. 50, was a grand recording secretary. At the close of the meeting, branch 50 had their members light candles for all our departed members from each branch present and it was very touching.
During April and May we have lost two more members, Angela Trumbly and Ann Otoničar. Our condolences to the remaining families ... to our departed sisters, may they rest in peace. Our heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Yagodnik on the loss of their son Frank. Tina, we all wish you a speedy recovery, too. God bless you all. Hope you had a happy Mother's Day and treated dad on his day, too.
Sophie Magayna, Rep.
No. 13, San Francisco, Calif. — Zveza Day was successfully enjoyed by many of o>ur members. We were twice blessed as our Mass was celebrated with First Holy Communion being received by the children. It is so rewarding to see the sweet faces of the children receiving First Holy Communion; somehow it brings the message of “Suffer little Children Come Unto MIO” home for those of us, how many years ago in an almost forgotten time, heard these same words. Yes, Zveza Day with Supreme State President, Rose Scoff at the helm was a happy day. Breakfast at the Cliff house was enjoyed by 30 members. There were prizes for all

WHAT IS WRONG?
(Jur spiritual life demands attention. Wo must be careful not to surround ourselves with junk. Our collection of junk may include boxes of bad habits, packages of indifference and carelessness and sloth, trunks of neglected opportunities, barrels of lack of mortification and sobriety. Misuse and excessive use of the things and luxuries of the world and of the flesh constitute the dead weight of sin. Sin causes breakdowns and wrecks us spiritually.
The junk of all this worldliness interferes with our takeoff. It slows our progress. It may even bar our way.
Here I am thinking of the boy David in the Old Testament. He offered to engage the giant, Goliath, in the battle to deliver the people of God from defeat and shame. King Saul, the warrior himself, therefore dressed him in his own coat of mail, a big, heavy, clanging armor. Poor David. He could hardly move in all this iron. He couldn’t handle Saul’s clumsy sword. So he removed all the “junk,” and took the tiny sling he usually carried along and with a pebble, flying from it, he moved in on the giant and slew him.
We must be careful not to get bogged down by the cramping weight of the world which will imperil our spiritual progress. We will have to encounter a black Goliath near the gate. Rather should we always have on hand the sling of simple, sincere religion.
Five light and reliable pebbles we might use to arm our sling are:
1. Loyalty to God, expressed in a sincere and planned attempt to keep His commandments.
2. Love of God and a spirit of gratitude, expressed in living His presence among and in us by means of the Sacraments.
3. Kindness, consideration, and helpfulness toward our fellow man, expressed especially in concern over his suffering and misfortunes.
4. Keeping the spirit of poverty .expressed in reasoned use of the many material blessings the good God has given us.
5. Observing the virtue of chastity, expressed in mortification .self-denial, and self-control.
Let us search our soul and dump the junk that is pie-venting us from real spirituality and keeping us away from going home — to God.
and our treasury realized a lilt of over 30 dollars. Telephone committee, Ann Stark and Fran Chiodo (me) helped to obtain some guests. Only by working together can we realize days like these. Chairman of the day, Margaret Fager (Rose’s sister) buzzed from table to table distributing gifts and little rememberances of the day. The weather was beautiful and the view from the Cliff house seemed twice as lovely. Rose, we thank you for a very nice day. I know all those who enjoyed this day are looking forward to our next function.
There will be a slight vacation from meetings; our next meeting will be held on September 2*. when we will have a social following. There are surprises planned for the evening, so come Ladies, attend your next meeting, September 2!
It is that time of year when I say: Greetings to all my fellow travelers who visited Hawaii with me! This time of year you all come to mind so I extend to you each wishes for a happy summer vacation, hoping one day soon we shall all return to "Paradise” once again . . .
Fran E. Chiodo, Rep.
No. 14, Euclid, Ohio. — At our June meeting, it was decided that regular meetings would not be held during the summer months of July and August. In view of the long time between meetings, we hope to have a large turnout for the September meeting, which also happens to be the time for birthday celebrations. Goodies at the meeting were furnished by Amalia Povirk and Vida Kuhar.
At the June meeting, we celebrated Jo Centa’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Her friend and sisters-in-law presented her with a corsage and a large anniversary cake, which was shared with all of us present. We wish Mrs. Centa many more anniversaries.
Frances Globokar and her husband spent a nice vacation in her home
Supreme President’s Message
Dear Members,
I have been receiving many letters from members regarding assessment after reaching the age of 75 and SO years.
Note: For all members who had reached 80 years before July 1, 19G4 their assessment is free. New ruling is now that there will be no more free assessment to a member reaching 80 after the date above but all who reach 75 years pay only 2Of a month dues toward expense fund.
Illinois State Insurance board does not peiTnit any organization to operate by giving free assessment; that is why at the last 1904 convention held at Chicago the new ruling has been made that all members reaching age 75 years pay only 200 monthly for expenses.
In July, Pilgrimages will be attended by SWU members and friends at Lemont and Canada. I hope that this day will be a very memorable one for all.
European tours which are sponsored by Slovenian Women’s Union are very well represented again this year. Guides for this year are Marie Prisland and Albina Novak and in their groups we have Past President Josephine Livek, State President of Colorado Anna Pachak and many members and friends. To all making this trip, I hope you will have a very enjoyable vacation and to Mrs. Novak who is spending her days at the health spa I wish she regains her good health back and will be feeling up to par and full of vim and vigor to be back and carry on with her work. To all traveling abroad and in the states, a safe journey back. Vacation days are here and I am sure most of you are looking for the rest that we all need.
Combined branches of Cleveland are busy again planning for the Slovenian Day affair which will be held October 17th at Recher hall. Reserve that day because a great surprise is in store for all. More on this affair you will find under State President’s column, Mary Bostian.
June 7th, Mary Bostian and I attended the meeting of Br. 101, Bedford Heights, Ohio. It was a great pleasure and I was very happy to see that this branch is so very active. Three years and a half have passed since this branch was organized. Since that time Father Paulin has been their spiritual advisor and attends all their meetings.
Newly-elected president for 1965 is lovely Ann Gyurcik. She really is a go-getter and I mean it. She is a very hard worker and is another one that has Zveza in her heart. It won’t be long and this little branch will be built up with many new members as their record shows that they have obtained a large number of new members in the past. I am very proud of them as all members work hand in hand with their officers and even volunteer their services to them. Wish that we had more like them.
Our noted singer and director, Mr. Anton Schubel suddenly passed away June 9th at the age of 65. This is a great loss to our community and Slovenian culture as he was director of many choral groups.
He also was a great admirer of our Zveza and in behalf of all our members we pray and may God grant him eternal rest.
Speedy recovery to all ailing, Happy Birthday to all born in July and have a nice vacation.
I still have Cook books on hand for only $2.75 including postage.
Toni Turek
STATE PRESIDENT OF OHIO-MICHIGAN REPORTING
MESSAGE GIVEN AT THE STATE CONV ENTION BY MARY BOSTIAN
Greetings to each and everyone. We are gathered together today l’or the benefit of our organization. This is tny second State Convention and I enjoy it very much — especially to meet you all as you are such wonderful ladies. I admire all the branches for their ability, making their meetings more interesting and bringing together your members as they should be.
This really makes members more active and willing to attend. I hope you all keep up the good work and spirit, it’s a pay off!
Now, if anyone has anything to suggest, please let us in on your ideas. I hope all the branches have enrolled some new members for this campaign; we also must urge some young people to get active and this is what we need. Try to get young people into the branch — we just must concentrate on that kind of promotion. So, S.W.U. will go on and on, not die out. Get them in and let them give us their new ideas and we also must go along with them, encouraging them as juniors so when they grow up, they’ll stay with us. But, urge them to attend the meetings, gradually they will be accustomed to it and then, you will have new people to put into office when the time comes. This would help out a great deal.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CONVENTION
Thanks should be expressed to Dorothy Strnisha, the recording secretary of the combined branches for the last two Minutes of meetings read at the convention. This was done for the benefit of those who weren’t able to attend. I hope everybody enjoyed the news. Our hearty appreciation to Penna. State President, Mary Tomsic for visiting us with four other members and her two sisters, a daughter and son. What a wonderful neighbor we have in Mrs. Tomsic!
Louise Epley, our Director of Youth, spoke on the topic most interesting to us. Marie Beck read the 1964 State Convention Minutes and it was nicely done. She again recorded the minutes of this meeting. (Entire text is in Slovenian Section. — Ed.)
Our Supreme President spoke on our youth, too, explaining the youth membership. It was also very interesting We all admire Mrs. Turek very much and many commented on the picture on the May cover of Zarja showing her dear mother and grandchildren. She is lucky to have her mother as many of us have lost ours years ago. So, to all our dear mothers we should give our full love and devotion.
I want to thank Supreme Secretary, Albina Novak for sending her greetings and to Anna Kostelic from Br. 91, Oakmont, Pa. as well. It was very much appreciated to be remembered. This gives me more courage, I can tell you. A discussion was held at the meeting about our State Convention in Penna. this fall and to Lemont Zveza Day in July. All approved the chartered trip to Penna. and we hope to have a bus for Lemont.
Many members spoke on ways to keep the young interested in our SWU and this is really a problem. I hope some young people read this and take into consideration all the love and work that has gone into this organization and want to be a part of it. The older, as you know, are finding it very hard to go on. I wish I could help in such
town of Forest City, Penna.
Donations to the good-time treasury were made by Anna Hrovat, Katie Jacob, Frances Hočevar and Mary Smrdl. Many thanks.
A speedy recovery to sick members Jennie Ivancic and Antonia Kostrevec, as well as the other members who have been ill recently.
Let’s see you all at the September meeting.
Molly Sodja
a way that all branches would flourish, but it s really up to each member iuid each branch.
Branches 14, 50 and 68 spoke on a topic of interest to all, their good deeds lor such drives as Cancer Fund, Retarded Children and to help sick members to pay their dues, etc. Br. 08 also spoke of sending in nominations for the Scholarship Award. All branches were interested in listening to all these topics.
Belonging to S.W.U. should mean not a club or groul of women meeting every so often but do something constructive and to make others happy. The more we sacrifice, in time, work or maybe even with donations, the more it will make life happy and worth living for all ol' us. It will make us more content and help your branch to do good deeds.
The meeting opened and closed with prayer by our Supreme President, offered for all our deceased members. Then the drill team girls were so nice and took part in a memorial tribute by lighting candles while Mrs. Turek read a prayer. Each branch was called out and a candle extinguished, so each branch was represented. This made it very interesting.
Once again, thanks to Br. 41 for their invitation to their 35th anniversary and we congratulate them on this wonderful occasion and wish them many years of success. Thanks to them for the delicious dinner, nice entertainment an^ to all who helped make the crowd. I want to wish each and everyone of our branches the best of luch, progress and success. You are all doing fine — keep it up. Bless you all.
COMBINED BRANCHES OF OHIO MEETING NOTES
The June meeting of the Combined Branches centered on a discussion of the Oct. 17th Slovenian Day celebration. All branches which wish so, may come dressed in Slovenian costumes to make it look like it should, really Slovenian. Looks are what counts, and we want something different, to draw attention.
We will have a bake sale in the morning at Rechar Hall followed by dinner beginning at 3 P.M. We will also have a wonderful program and important guest.
I am hoping everyone will cooperate and help to make this Slovenian Day a big show and a big success. It could be the talk of the town. We will serve a Slovenian menu which will be ready for publication in the next issue.
I must mention our two birthdays; we celebrated Pauline’s Stampfel’s and Nettie Strukel’s June birthdays at the meeting. Nettio brought home made delicious donuts and Pauline treated us with refreshments. We all enjoyed it and sang many happy songs for their birthdays. We wish them many more and lots of luck.
I wish to congratulate all juniors who graduated this spring and I wish them a great success in their dreams of the future.
I am very proud of our Baton Twirlers who marched so bravely in St. Clair on Juno 5th for the Little league. We received many compliments on how attractive they looked. Credit goes to Ann Cook and her wonderful daughter. I am very proud of them. We are now all anxious to get the new group started.	m.	B.
No. 16, So. Chicago, III. — Our annual “Chicken Dinner” took place Thursday evening May 27th at "Chol-aks.” Eighteen members were entitled to a free dinner. In order to be eligible one must attend at least six meetings within the year. So members, isn’t that an incentive? Not to mention the good times we have socially.
Mrs. Cholak, who is also a member, served us a very delicious dinner. There were twenty-eight in attend-
ance and to prepare us a good meal as she did for so many is not easy. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for all her efforts to please us. Also we deeply appreciate Jean Bukvich’s and her sister, Edna Winter’s donation of the beautiful floral pieces, aprons, hankies, etc all of which were hand made and must have taken quite a bit of their time.
I	would like to thank all you members for the kindness shown me and
OF ILLINOIS
also for the spiritual bouquets in the recent loss of my husband. May God reward you all!
As usual, remember we have no meeting in August, but we will be looking for you in September.
Rose Salakar, Rec. Sec.
No. 17, West Allis, Wis. — What a lovely time of the year spring is, in all its beauty, birds singing, grass and trees turning green, flowers a-waking from the deep sleep to enhance the beauty even more so when in their full bloom. What a grand and glorious feeling to be able to see it day after day.
Among the group traveling to Europe with the Supreme Officers are our Organizer, Mrs. Josephine Schlo-sar, our treasurer, Frances Piwoni, Mr. and Mrs. John Frangesch and daughter, Joan, Mr. and Mrs. August Floryance, Mary Renko and her Mother. Bon Voyage!! Have a real nice trip and have a wonderful time; we will be thinking of you.
Mr. and Mrs. Tael are traveling to New York and Washington, D.C. this year. Our Vice-President, Vickie Kastelic has that faraway look again, where she will decide to go is still unknown. Happy vacations to one and all!
Those interested in going to Le-mont, contact me at once so arrangements can be made for chartering a bus for Zveza Day, Sunday, July 18, 1965.
Our group is also chartering a bus trip to Dickeyville and other interesting points for Sunday, September 12, 1965. There are still some seats available, please call 774-2061 or 384-4908 and we will reserve them.
Our branch will hold a Poultry Card Party on Sunday, October 24, 1965 at St. Mary’s Hall, So. 60th and W. Madison at 8:00 P.M. Sharp! All branches and friends are invited to attend and donations for this affair will be more than welcome.
With summer coming everyone will be busy, tending and caring for their garden, so just a reminder that our meeting will resume on Sunday, September 19, 1965 at 2:00 P.M. and I hope to see many more new faces at the monthly meetings.
The Founders’ Campaign was very interesting and I was following it monthly. It is very gratifying to know and see that the branches and members are all doing their very best in getting new members.
Our Foundress, Marie Prisland will be so very happy to receive such beautiful bouquets of "Rožice” members. What a lovely tribute to receive by one who has S.W.U. so much at heart and also has that knowledge that S.W.U. is prospering year after year. So, let’s not stop after this campaign, but let us always be alert in getting a new member.
Congratulations are in order for
Joyce Blasovich

No. 20, Joliet, III. — The events of the ’64-65 SWU Bowling League are now tightly locked away in each and every girl’s memory scrapbook.
On the front page of this scrapbook, you will note the credit due the officers for their display of fine workmanship. Helen Golobic, President, and her many special jobs that held the league firm; Jo Sumic, Vice-President, doing her usual fine job as an administrator; Marge Gasperich, treasurer, persistent to keep financial matters in order and donating her services for jobs not contained in her office; Barb Terlep, Treasurer, for her continued activity towards keeping the league organized; and Gert Padovich, Sargent at Arms, being available at all times with a helping hand. To these girls, with their misfortunes of the past year, a special thanks for a successful ’64-65 season.
Then you will flip the page and start at the top to find Northwest Recreation Club claiming honors for top team. Northwest only relinquished first place twice out of 35 bowling sessions and ended the season with a G-game lead. Bluth’s Sausage, American Slovenian Home and Papesh Funeral Home (only half-game difference), Kraus Radio & TV, Shep’s DX Service Station, Ellena Builders and Merichka’s Restaurant followed respectively. Northwest kept up their winning ways and claimed High Team

Marilyn Nemanich,

Hope you will all attend to get the fall season off to a good start.
Don’t forget to pay your dues so we won’t have any in arrears this summer. Our treasury is already so low, we cannot pay out for any advance dues The increase of five cents per month is for every member and those over 75 years of age pay only 20 cents per month into the S.W.U. Expense Fund. Please consider this ruling when making your payments.
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Theodore Bernard on their new baby girl. The mother’s name was Helen Knap.
In the hospital this month are Mary Sever, Frances Kolar, Anna Dular and Mary Baznik who broke her arm and is now at home. To all, hearty wishes for good health.

Angela Strukel, See’y.
No. 25, Cleveland, O. — It has been quite a while since I have written an article or kept in touch with our Zveza fans. Mrs. M. Otoničar says: “Viki, daj no nekaj v Zarja pisati pa povej našem članicam kako se pri nas imamo.” Our meetings are conducted very informally — mostly for relaxing and fun. In May we always select a mother of the year. Mrs. Julia Bokar of 6615 Edna Ave. was chosen from Br. 25. The members were pleased with the choice greeting her with much applause. In response Mrs. Bokar’s words were —■ “Thank you ladies for giving me the honor, a« you know I am not young and yet you have picked me as the Mother-of-the-Year. It makes me feel very happy that everyone has accepted me with favor.” Her smile was warm and friendly as only a mother’s smile can be.
Another May-time special is when we draw for a queen. Everyone present has a chance. Mrs. Jennie Feme of 1048 Addison Rd. was pleasantly surprised and slightly stunned when her name was called. Our former queen, Mary Orazem, 6326 Carl Ave., crowned the new reigning queen for '65. The crowning ceremony added joy as the new queen crowned our Blessed Mother while members sang softly a hymn to Mary. It was truly an excellent evening. It would be nice if more members put their good ideas into action for continued improvement of Zveza.
The younger group of women of Br. No. 25 could really zoom-up activities. Mrs. Pauline Stampfel our president remarks, “kje so pa naše ta mlade ženske?” especially when they haven’t been attending meetings regularly.
The Founder’s Campaign in honor of Mrs. Marie Prisland well-known throughout Zveza-Land as our organizer, closed June 1st. We hope that it has been successful in all the branches. Br. 25 regrets the new membership drive lagged this campaign. Previously we always ranked on top-records show.
Some of the members who haven’t been at meetings lately make it a point to spend an evening enjoying a light snack, embroidering a few doil ies and dancing to beetle music (four corners count). Us teenagers will teach you.
See you at the shindig.
Vicki
No. 26, Pittsburgh, Pa. — The committee and I wish to thank all members and friends who helped to make our luncheon and card party such a big success. Thanks to the members who brought prizes and to those women who helped us in the kitchen; it surely was appreciated.
Congratulations to Diana Schriver on receiving a scholarship award from the S.W.U. Diana is the granddaughter of Mary Melamarich.
Get well wishes to all our sick members. Hoping all our members have a pleasant and enjoyable summer and we’ll be seeing you In the fall at our first meeting after vacation, Sept. 21. God bless you all.

No. 32, Euclid, Ohio. - Our meeting in June was short and now for two months, July and August .there will be no meetings. We want all of you to mark that down, but we will ask you to call any of the officers if you have any news that you wish to have in our column in Zarja. My number is IV 1-3447.
We have some sad news and our sympathy to Agnes Jazbec, who lost her brother, who died in May.
We lost a good member, Josephine Femec — she passed away May 19th. She was the first to organize our branch and very active all these years.
We lost a good member and her daughter, Mary Noda who is also our good member, lost a beloved mother. Words can’t express the sorrow she bears, but when you put yourself in God’s trust, this is our hope and consolation. We sympathize with her husband and family. May she and all the departed rest in peace.
From our President’s side, Ray Potokar, her grandchild, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Potokar, Jr., was married to Gisela Weiss on May 8th at St. Paul church in Euclid. Congratulations to both sides and grandparents.
Mrs. Anton Tekavec became grandmother once again in May. Congratulations to you.
We wish a speedy recovery to Mary Boots, daughter of Frances Sokach who is ill in the hospital. Also, we pray that Mary Zele is much better and recovering from her surgery at home. May our Blessed Mother heal the sick and with warm weather coming, will make the sick well.
Celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary June 29th were Mary and Louis Noda. We wish you health and happiness. Congratulations from all of us. Hope you see your Golden one, Ann.
Our Treasurer, Molly Gregorc, isn't quite up to par as yet since she lost her dear husband, but we wish her luck and progress and strength that she will be back among us and working with us soon. May God help her. If we missed any of our sick, we wish them all good health and speedy recovery!
In May we had our Mother’s Day Party and birthday celebration and we were most happy with a good attendance. The one that brought our baked goods, etc. are as follows: Annie Tekavec, strudel; Ann (Matt) Tekavec, cake; Katherine Goliner, cake and strudel; Josephine Comenchek, cake and sandwiches; Agnes Jazbec, cake and wine; Theresa Potokar, tea and pickles, plates, napkins, etc. We
thank all of you and may God repay your generosity.
To make our treasury bigger, Mary Erchul and Frances Perme each gave $1. Thanks. We also have a good time kitty and our good members contributed for their birthdays to this fund. The following gave $1: Annie Pozar, Angela Yarm, Mary Koraba, I.ouise Kalister, Annie Godlar, Annie Tekavec, Mary Rupert, Mary Knific, Mary Noda and Josephine Feme. We thank you and wish you a happy birthday. We can all see our members are very generous. May God bless you.
We wish you all a nice vacation and we hope to see you all back in September on the first Tuesday. In the meantime, let us know what’s new and may God bless you all.
Anna Tekavec
No. 42, Maple Hgts., Ohio. — We
were happy to see such a good attendance at the 10 o’clock Mass at St. Lawrence church. Communion was received by all attending from our branch. The intention was for the living and deceased members of No. 42 and also honoring our Mother of the Year.
Dinner was served at 12 in the Slov. Nat’l Home in Maple Hgts. It was cooked and served by the newly organized cooking club. Well done!
I	am out of the hospital now, the stay was a long one and for the present, my trouble is arrested. God is very Good. He sends troubles but only as much as a person can bear. If you offer up your sleepless nights and all the pain that comes with illness, and never once lose hope—keep faith —help seems to come, just the same way as the crosses come to you. I found out a long time ago that the Rosary is as powerful a prayer as any. Of course, too, my family, sisters, their husbands and many nieces and nephews, brothers and their wives, my sister in the convent and the Dominican Order, never stops praying for the families of the religious.
Teresa Filips and her husband, Anton, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a nice surprise, given by their friends who brought everything to the house, food ,music, cheer, also cheer in the bottle. She is one of our members that always takes part and helps.
Lillian Sadowski and her husband celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary with a little trip on the weekend to Pennsylvania. She is our good member. Congratulations and best wishes to both couples and many more.
Jack and Mary Yemec are so very proud o f their family; one of their sons, Jack Jr., has been appointed Recreation Director at Madison Hgts., in Detroit, Mich. He is a former teacher at St. Rita's and recreation director at Maple Hgts. Congratulations,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
For a whiter meringue that cuts well and is flavorful, add lemon juice before beating, suggest home economists at the IT.S. Dept, of Agriculture.
After grating soft cheese, immediately rub hard crust of bread over grater to clean it. Clean grater with stiff brush.
Keep cake from sticking to flat surface by sprinkling powdered sugar on the cake plate.
Remember — a foam pad is a must to stand on if one irons while standing on cement. Not only saves I he feet but the back, too.

Girls, please come to the meetings so that you will know what’s going on. I’m sure your children are grown up so that you can get out once a month. If you don't drive, you can always ask somebody for a ride.
P.S. Enclosed are some pictures of our meetings. (See 2nd cover page.)

No. 52, Kitzville, Minn. — Dear Sisters, 1 am sorry that you haven’t been hearing from me as much as you’d like, but I am sure that you will all understand that the Zarja deadline is so early and misses our meetings so our news is late.
The meeting June 2nd was opened with a prayer by our president, Josephine Oswald. And, reports were in that there are a few sick members. Please visit them and bring them good cheer. Sister Lena Strazi-shar is confined to the Hibbing General Hospital and sisters Gertrude De Maddio and Patricia Hrovat have returned home after spending some time in the hospital. We wish them all God speed to a rapid recovery.
To sister Pat Mancuso, we send congratulations on the arrival of her new bouncing baby boy, Joseph Michael.
Our next meeting will not be held until Aug. 4th at the Little Grove. Due to vacation time, there will not be a meeting in July. So, while you are all enjoying your vacation, please drive safely and we will all be waiting for your return.
Our social of the evening then took place. Hostesses were: sisters, Veronica Krizmanich, Margaret Pogorels, Patricia Mancuso, and Patricia Hrovat. Honors and gifts were presented to sisters: Rose Chiodi, Celia Palita-no, Josephine Palitano, Angeline Russ, Ivanna Prelesnik, Gertrude Koclievar, Margaret Koclievar, Jenny Crea, Dorothy Russo. This ended a delightful evening.
May God bless you all and keep you in the best of health until we meet again. Drive safely. Yours truly, Gertrude Kochevar, Rep.
No. 55, Girard, Ohio. — The Slovenian Women’s Union Mother - Daughter Covered Dish Dinner was opened with Grace recited by Mrs. V. Penksa. Mrs. K. Russ was honored Mother of the Year. President, Mrs. B. TTmeck presented her with a. gift of jewelry, a carnation corsage and the center-
piece. Mrs. A. Cernich made a delicious cake for the honored member and beautifully decorated it for the occasion. Mrs. Russ shared her cake with the members and guests. President, B. Umeck made carnation corsage favors for members and guests as well.

No. 56, Hibbing, Minn. — With the spring weather finally arriving here in Minnesota, we had a wonderful turn-out for our May meeting at which we honored our Mother of the Year, Mrs. Anna Brklich. It was great to see a large number of new faces. Let’s do this more often.
Our business meeting was very short after which we draped the charter for our deceased member, Katy Danich. Our members paid their last respects to her and to the family we extend our deepest sympathy.
A delicious buffet lunch was served by the hostesses, from a table covered with a lace cloth and a pink floral centerpiece flanked by white candles. Rose Brklich, a daughter of the honored mother, presided at the silver service. Also, her two other daughters, Mary McKusky and Katherine Rapko were guests. The honored mother was presented a corsage and gift from the branch. May she have many more years with us. God bless her.
Cards were played and prize winners were: Mmes. Anna Brklich, Margaret Shelko, Frank Puhek, Rose Chernugal, Louis Stanich and Robert Genac. Mother’s Day poem was read by the president, and the group sang
several songs for the honored mother.
Hostesses were: Margaret Shorich, Antonia Rapinac, Elizabeth Gaige, Manda Butorac and Katherine Silver. In June, hostesses were to be: Mary Meadows, Rose Vickich, Angeline and Dolores Passino.
So, until the September meeting, hope you all have a pleasant and enjoyable summer.

No. 73, Warrensville Hgts., Ohio —
We opened our meeting with a prayer and then revealed our Mother of the Year, Sally Kunka, a very lovely, friendly and good person and worker. Congratulations — it could not happen to a nicer lady. She also received a beautiful slip and a pretty corsage donated by Emma S.
Then, our delicious supper brought in by our members as a pot-luck was very, very good and a nice variety was seen: pork, ham, noodles, cabbage, jello salad, bean salad, tossed salad, desserts: apple strudel, cakes, cookies and candy and many more things.
We have two new babies, Syl Crum-mie had a baby girl, grandmother is Rose Z. and Sally Mae Politoraski, a boy, grandmother is Sally Kunka. Congratulations to all and hope all are fine now.
Our new member, Mary Schneider is welcomed to our branch and hope she has lots of fun with us, also hope her eye is better after the operation.
On our graduates list are Frank Kainec from Bedford Hi, Patsy Mauer from Warrensville Hi and JoAnn Nowak is another graduate. Congratulations and good luck in the ever-challenging world. Also, to others I did not hear about.
Have a nice summer and see you in September.

No. 91, Oakmont, Pa. — Our June meeting was opened with a prayer and we had a wonderful turn-out. It was held at our treasurer, Anna Flis-ek’s home. After the business was over, we had a very nice lunch and played games. The evening did go fast. So, now our next meeting will be Sept. 7th at the same place and we will have a lot of business to take care of at that time. We will have our Penna State Convention again and it will be at the same place which is at Acmetonia, Pa., the Slovene Club. So, we are inviting all branches to come on out and have a nice day with us. I will write more about it in the Sept. issue and hope you all read it. Please try to make arrangements as soon as possible so that we will have an idea as to how to start things rolling.
Our secretary, Amelia Sorch left on June 22nd for a trip to Europe for a couple of weeks. All our members and friends wish her a lovely trip and visit with her folks back in Slovenia. She will be back sometime this month. Safe return home, Amelia, to you and your family.
Now, get-well wishes to all sick members and hope they all get well very soon, so, take care of yourselves when going on any trips for the summer. God bless each and everyone of you and wishes for good health to all. Hope to see you at the Sept. 7th meeting. Don’t forget

No. 95, So. Chicago, III. — It is with great pleasure and delight we introduce two newcomers who have joined our branch; they are, Mrs. Dorthy Sleczlta, 10619 Oglesby Ave. and Helen Stewart, 8401 Bennett Ave. Welcome ladies!
Remember how last year’s Mother of the Year and May celebration lor Mary Ashenbrenner was held amidst laughter and tears? Nevertheless, the crowning ceremonies this year for Rose Dosen, our 1965 Mother of the Year, emerged as a sentimental smash of the year, when little Romaine Possedi handed the crown to our outgoing Mother of the Year. Everyone is

IN MEMORY
With unexpected suddenness, death came among us and took Jennie Cho-rak of 9630 Exchange Ave. who was the beloved wife of Martin, fond mother of Peter, Martin Jr., Mary, Frank, and Mrs. Catherine Yosanovich, dear grandmother of Peter Jr., Robert and Joanne Chorak, dear Sister of Mrs. Kate Janes and member of Br. 95.
The character of the life she lived might be summed up in a few words: She was a devoted wife and a dedicated mother, sincere .earnest, industrious, self-sacrificing and above all a loyal member. What she believed she believed with her heart and soul; what she preached she practiced. She was a quiet perhaps overly modest women, inclined to be extremely cautious in her personal relationship with others. But the generous instincts of this fine woman will be missed not only by the members of her family but the entire membership of our branch. We join in extending to the members of her family our heartfelt sympathy and pray that the years that lie ahead the good Lord will sustain them and give them peace and health.

still talking about what a warm and wonderful event we had staged. Each of our mothers was pinned with a carnation which climaxed the evening. The entertainment was provided by the Warren School P.T.A. Kitchen Band. The band members are characterized by their ridiculous clothes and instruments. They use kitchen utensils and cow bells, horns, wash boards and make their own music. Their business is lousing up music, but how can you slaughter a tune when it is already a mess? We had fun participating in the short program and adding the Kitchen Band to the Mother’s Day theme.
After the ceremony, Helen Golich presented our Mother of the Year, Rose Dosen, a beautiful heart-shaped cake. The table, heavily laden with goodies was prepared by the following: Amelia Citzella, Mary Barcevac, Rose Boerner, Rose Dosen, Mildred James, Olga Krmpotic, Helen Golich. Stephanie Magna vite, Mary Perkovich, Ann Pave, Mary Possedi, Mildred Po-ropat, Jean Ross, Dolores Sambol, Vickie Tomich, and Veda Yamich. It looks as tho the following women have done it again and brimming over with goodwill with their services toward our branch they are none other than the following: Rose Hoer-ner, Amelia Cuzella, Evelyn Driscoll, Manda Dosen, Marge Krmpotic, Ann Pave, Mary Perkovich, Ann Pearson. Mary Pleshn. Helen CiOlicb .and Mary Nieksic.
Whether it has been fund-raising or just pure fun, surely “fellowship” is the key word describing our activities, which is the most important event of the evening and a very successful money raiser to say the least, our booklet project. It was basically in this way we realized the $281.93 Might 1 add that our devoted member, Mary Possedi, sold the most books! My sincere thanks to you Mary! The lucky recipients of the cash prizes are: Victoria Rukavina, Marie Grankowski, Duker 12631 Marshfield, Helen Stewart, and Mildred James. Congratulations winners! Kv-elyn Driscoll, our Rec. Sec’y, who has worked hard on this project, deserves a low bow. My deep gratitude to all of the members for our continued support and help in gaining our objectives.
Birthday greetings to the following who are celebrating in July: Louise Dichele, Matilda Grepo, Marge Krmpo-tie, Ann Loncar, Mary Medonich, Milka Miljak, Manda Nosich, Joan Paul-ich, Mary Possedi, Anna Sabljak, Sylvia Werner, and Ann Matesevac (of Calif.).
This was our last meeting for the summer. May I extend my warmest congratulations to all who are graduating this month, and to their good parents, may God be with them always !
In closing, Uindly remember the sick of our branch in your prayers. And remember the fun-filled summer a-head, the hours of temptation. Summertime is a dangerous time; please take good care of yourselves so that you may be with us for our first meeting in the fall, September 1st. God bless you all!

No. 100, Fontana, Cal. Just a few lines from Br. 100 in Fontana. Our meeting in May was well-attended. We honored the Mother of the Year, Antoinette Kovach. Sorry to report that she was ill and could not attend. We had the celebration without her and had a pot luck supper. We took her lovely corsage to the house and presented it to her there. Sorry, Antoinette, but our thoughts were with you anyway and we all wish you God’s blessing and a speedy recovery.
After the supper, games were played and everybody had an enjoyable evening.

P. Claude Okorn, O.F.M.:
PRAVO SPOZNANJE
Neki poznavalec umetnosti je obiskal znano Marijino Cerkev v Copenhagenu. Želel je videti daleč naokrog znani lup Kristusa, ld ga je izdelal Thorwalden. Njegov prvi vtis mu je prinesel razočaranje. Nikakor ni mogel razumeti kako da kip žanje toliko priznanje. Na njega ni napravil nikalcega vtisa in je to tudi javno povedel. Neki vodič, ki je razkazoval cerkev neki drugi skupini, je slišal njegove pripombe in mu je svetoval naj si ogleda kip Kristusov kleče.
“Namen kiparjev je bil, da si vsakdo kip ogleda na kolenih. Še le potem bo občutil vso lepoto, ki jo kip vsebuje.”
Na njegovo največje začudenje, ko je bil na kolenih, je kip zadobil neko čudovito privlačnost.
Kako pomember je ta izraz: “Le kleče.” Kolikšnega pomena je to, da še le na kolenih spoznamo čudovito privlačnost Kristusovo. Še le na kolenih spoznamo Kristusa. Naberemo si v življenju lahko veliko podrobnosti iz Jezu sovega življenja s tem da beremo sveto pismo. Mnogo znanja si naberemo potom učenja. Vprašanje je le ali napravimo kakšno razliko med tem znanjem in drugim zna-
njem. Mogoče je ravno v tem naša težava. Ne delamo nobene razlike med tem ali onim znanjem.
Učeni modri z Vzhoda so na kolenih odkrili pravega Kristusa. Prav tako so neuki pastirji na kolenih odkrili Jezusa. Podobno je z nami. Tudi mi lahko samo na kolenih odkrijemo Kristusa. V pobožnem premišljevanju bo vsaka malenkost, ki jo imamo o Kristusu prišla v ospredje. Samo na kolenih se bo naše znanje povečalo in poglobilo, obenem pa spremenilo v ljubezen. V tem je ves pomen našega znanja o Kristusu. Roditi mora ljubezen. To je poseben znak našega znanja o Kristusu.
V	našem kratkem življenju, ki je kakor muha enodnevnica, si moramo vzeti čas za premišljevanje o življenju in zgledu Jezusa Kristusa. Odstraniti moramo šum sveta in njegovo počenjanje, če hočemo slišati božji glas, ki nam govori v tihoti, če danes slišite njegov glas, ne zakrknite svojih src. Prisluhnimo božji govorici na naših kolenih Dokler ne bomo storili tega, bo naše znanje neplodovito. Že sedaj je naš razum ves zmešan zaradi neurejenega in od povsod privlečenega znanja. Le na kolenih bomo spoznali lepoto in moč Kristusovega značanja. Podoba Kristusova nam bo na kolenih postala tako jasna da si bomo želeli upodobiti naše življenje po njegovem življenju in zgledu. Jezus nam ne pravi zastonj: Zgled sem vam dal, da tudi vi tako storite. Ali Bog daje svojo milost le ponižnim. Torej.
er graduates, congratulations and best of luck as you enter a new world.
Sorry to report that Eleanor Hawkins and Mildred Hetsel were hospitalized. Hope they are feeling better. To any others on the sick list, a speedy recovery.
For the June meeting hostesses were Mary Bradac, Stella Hajeck, and Pauline Stepic.
That is all for this month. Belated wishes for a Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads'

No. 105, Detroit, Mich. Our monthly meeting in May was held at Ann Anzick’s home. There were eleven members present. Our secretary, Catherine Musick was absent and the minutes were read by our president, Pauline Adamic.
Prizes were won by our hostess and Rose Jamnik, a candle in a glass (donated by Alice Kocjan) and a terry cloth apron and potholders (donated by our hostess).

We had a lovely dinner out in honor of our Mother of the Year, Gail Simon. Her picture appeared in the May issue of Zarja.
Alice Kocjan is walking around these days with stardust in her eyes and an upswept hairdo, mmmmm? 1 wonder, could it be? Ann McGee is spinning around in her new Ambassador and loving it. We may have one more meeting before most of us will be off on summer vacations. Will be reporting again before then.
Take care, and God bless you all.

DOPISI
Št. 3, Pueblo, Colo. — Današnji čas prikliče žalostne spomine na vse tiste, ki so nas že zapustili. Naša 90 letna čla. Mary Mismash je močno potrta, ko žaluje za sinom Charles, katerega je kruta smrt ugrabila v mladostnih letih. Vse njegovo življenje je bil z materjo, ki je tudi živela pri njegovi družini, z ženo in otroci, zato je bolečina ločitve bila še bolj občutljiva za vse preostale. Sestri Mismash izrekamo iskreno sožalje ob bridki izgubi nepozabnega sina. Ohranimo mu častni spomin in naj mu bo lahka hladna zemljica. — Čla. Elsie McGill žaluje za svojo materjo Julia Russ (pok. je bila žena Jožeta p.d. Oplotar), katero je smrt rešila mučne bolezni. Njen soprog je velik prijatelj naše Zveze, posebno mu je priljubljena naša Zarja. Tudi njega muči bolezen, pa upamo, da mu bo sonce zdravja kmalu zopet zasijalo. Soprogu, hčerki in sinu, izrekamo izraze sožalja.
Tajnica je poslala voščilne kartice bolnim sestram v bolnišnico z željami za hitro ozdravljenje. Prijazna Jessie Koshak je imela resno operacijo na nogah. Theresa Fear se zopet zdravi v bolnišnici. Ann Hrobak je prestala operacijo. Frances Rogar si je hudo poškodovala nogo pri padcu in se nahaja pod zdravniško oskrbo. Mary Težak (sestra Fathra Daniel G.) si je zlomila drugo roko v zapestju. Pred
3	mesecema si je zlomila levo, sedaj pa je desna roka vsa v mavcu. Helen Miklicli se zdravi na domu po nevarni operaciji. Tako nam Bog nalaga svoje križe. Upamo, da bodo vse hitro pozdravele in prišle na seje.
Priznanje g. John D. Butkovich za krasno izpeljan program na TV za materinski dan. On nas lepo razvedruje vsako nedeljo popoldne s Slovenian Radio Hour, ko na radiju igra naše
lepe slovenske melodije, narodne pesmi in poskočne polke.
Mr. in Mrs. Joseph Kocman sta obhajala 60 letnico zakona. Bilo je vse tajno, ker je Mrs. K. zelo bolana. Bog jim daj zdravja.
Novomašnik bod’ pozdravljen! V času pomladi ko je vsa narava pokrita s pisanim cvetjem, da izgleda kakor božji prt, v slavo in čast Stvarniku. In narava se veseli z novomašnikom. Dne 30. maja je zapel prvo sv. mašo, v sosednji fari v cerkvi St. Frances, naš rojak, Rev. Frank Kogovšek, sin Franka in pokojne Mary. Ona je gotovo se s sinom veselila tega dneva in ga pozdravljala iz nebes. Žal se ji ni izpolnila srčna želja na tem svetu, da l)i dočakala sinovo novo mašo, toda Bog je uredil po svoje.
Novomašnik je bil rojen in vzgojen v Pueblo, semenišče je dokončal v St. Thomas v Denverju. iskrene čestitke in želje za obilni božji blagoslov pri delu v Vinogradu Gospodovem, kot duhovnik in božji namestnik. Čestitke veljajo tudi njegovemu očetu, 4 bratom, sestrici, grandma Mary Kogovšek in Mamie Pugel, ki mu je teta.
6.	junija je novomašnik daroval sv. mašo v naši cerkvi Marije Pomagaj ter podelil svoj novomašni blagoslov. Cerkveni zbor je lepo po slovensko zapel pesem: “Novomašnik bod’ pozdravljen.” Res nam bo vsem ostal ta dan v lepem spominu.
Naša članska kampanja je končana, upamo, da je dobro uspela, kakor vse dosedanje. Nahajamo se v poletnem času, v času počitnic. Vsem želim, da bi se res najlepše imele na vaših počitnicah in da se vse zopet zdrave vidimo na seji v septembru.
Naša prijazna Mammie Pugel in njen soprog se nahajata na 3 tedenskih počitnicah v Havaii. Have good time! Enako vsem izletnikom.
Pozdravlja, Anna Pachak, preds.
Marie Prisland:
DAN NEODVISNOSTI
Četrti julij ali DAN NEODVISNOSTI je največji in najlepši praznik naše nove domovine.
Četrti julij 1776 je bil rojstni dan ameriške republike. Takrat so ji bili dani pogoji, na podlagi katerih se je razvila do sedajne veličine. Temelj so postavili svodoboljubni Amerikanci z IZJAVO NEODVISNOSTI, ki se vsako leto na
4.	julija čita v tisočerih mestih širom Amerike kot evangelij svobodnega ljudstva.
Izjavo neodvisnosti je pred več leti v slovenščino prevedel pokojni Anton Terbovec, urednik NOVE DOBE, uradnega glasila ABZ. Ta važen dokument ZARJA objavlja v spomin prevajalcu ter v opomin nam, da stojimo na braniku za svobodo, toleranco in bratstvo ter da kot dobri ameriški državljani po naših zmožnostih prispevamo svoj del k ohranitvi in širjenju teh idealov.
IZJAVA NEODVISNOSTI Kadar se v teku dogodkov rodi potreba, da pretrga en narod politične vezi, ki so ga vezale z drugim, in da zavzame med ostalimi državami na svetu samostojno in enako stališče, do katerega je po prirodnih in božjih posta vah opravičen, tedaj zahteva pošten človeški običaj, da navede ta narod razloge, ki so ga privedli do ločitve od stare države.
Smatramo, da so same po sebi umevne in dokazov nepotrebne sledeče resnice: da so vsi ljudje enako ustvarjeni in da so sprejeli od svojega stvarnika gotove neopore-kljive pravice, da je med temi pravica do življenja, svobode in do stremljenja po sreči. V dosego teh pravic imajo ljudstva svoje vlade, katerih pravične oblasti izvirajo iz soglašanja vladanega ljudstva. Ce pa poseže katerakoli vladna oblika v te namene in jih zatira, tedaj ima ljudstvo pravico, da tako vlado izpremeni ali pa strmoglavi in ustanovi novo vlado na takih načelih in uredi njeno oblast v taki obliki, kakor spozna, da je najpotrebnejša za njeno varnost in srečo. Razum sicer veleva, da se stare vlade ne izpreminjajo iz majhnih in mimoidočih razlogov, in izkušnja nas tudi uči, da ljudstvo rajši trpi krivice, kolikor jih more trpeti, kakor pa da bi si samo jemalo pravico z uničevanjem oblik, katerih je vajeno. Toda če dokazujejo krivice in zlorabljanja brez konca, ki gredo venomer za istim smotrom, namen, da podvržejo narod absolutnemu despotizmu, tedaj ima ljudstvo pravico in je njegova dolžnost, da strmoglavi tako vlado in da si ustanovi boljše branike za svojo bodočo varnost.
Na ta način so potrpežljivo trpele naše kolonije in tako je nastala neizogibna potreba, da se ovrže stari vladni sistem. Zgodovina sedanjega kralja Velike Britanije je zgodovina ponovnih krivic in prisvajanja neopravičenih oblasti z direktnim namenom, da ustanovi absolutno tiranstvo nad temi državami. V dokaz predlagamo nepristranskemu svetu sledeča dejstva:
Odrekel je priznanje zakonov, ki so najbolj koristni in potrebni za blaginjo ljudstva;
svojim governerjem je prepovedal uveljaviti najvažnejše in najnujnejše zakone ali jih je pa enostavno suspendiral in zavlekel, da niso prišli v veljavo;
prepovedal je zakone, ki so bili namenjeni blaginji velikih narodnih okrožij, in je sporočil, da uveljavi te zakone le tedaj, če se ljudstvo odreče pravicam zastopstva v postavodajah, kar bi bila za nas nezaslišna krivica — in kar je le tiranom v korist;
sklical je postavodajna telesa v nenavadne in puste kraje, oddajene od javnih središč in mest, kjer so shranjeni javni spisi, z namenom, da jih poniža, utrudi in tako prisili pod svojo oblast;
razpustil je ponovno postavodajne zbore, ker so se moško upirali njegovim napadom na pravice ljudstva;
ko so bili zbori razpuščeni, ni dolgo časa dovolil novih volitev, in tako je bilo ljudstvo brez zakonodajstva prepuščeno samo sebi; kolonije so bile izpostavljene nevarnosti invazije od zunaj in nereda v notranjosti;
trudil se je, da bi preprečil rast prebivalstva v državah s tem, da je oviral zakone o naturalizaciji priseljencev, omejeval priseljevanja In povzročil krivične pogoje za dobavo zemljišč;
oviral je administarcijo justice s prepovedjo zakonov za ustanovitev sodnih oblasti;
podvrgel si je sodnike, da so bili samo od njega odvisni in so le pobirali plače;
uvedel je nebroj novih uradov in poslal semkaj cele roje uradnikov, ki so nadlegovali ljudstvo In se redili na naše stroške;
v mirnih časih jo imel med nami stalne armade brez dovoljenja naših postavodajnih zborov;
vojno oblast je dvignil nad civilno oblast in jo naredil popolnoma neodvisno.
Dalje jo gazil našo ustavo in naše zakone s sledečimi krivičnimi čini:
Namestil je med nas večja števila oboroženih čet; ščitil je vojake s sleparskimi sodnimi razpravami pred kaznijo za umore, ki so jih izvršili nad prebivalci teh držav;
zapiral je našo trgovino z ostalim svetom; nalagal nam je davke proti naši volji; odrekel nam je pravico do porotne obravnave v neštetih slučajih;
transportiral nas je čez morje in tamkaj gnal pred sodišče za izmišljene prestopke;
v sosedni angleški provinciji je odpravil svobodni sistem angleškega prava in uvedel samosilno vlado z razširjenimi mejami, kar je imelo namen, da po enakem vzoru uvede absolutistično vlado tudi v naših kolonijah;
odvzel nam je svoboščine (charters) in zatrl najboljše zakone, s čimer je rušil temeljno moč naše vlade;
suspediral je naše postavodaje in si vzel moč, da nam 011 daje zakone;
odpovedal se je tukajšnji vladi s tem, da nam je odrekel zaščito in nam napovedal vojno;
ropal je naša morja, napadal naša obrežja, požigal naša mesta in moril naše ljudi;
ravno v tem času je poslal semkaj veliko armado tujih najemnikov, da dovrši delo moritve, razdejanja in tiranstva, katero je že pričel z največjo perfidnostjo in krutostjo, ki nima para v najbolj barbarski dobi in ki nikakor ne pristaja glavi civilizirane države.
Prisilil je naše državljane, katere je vjel na morju, da so se morali oborožiti proti svoji domovini in da so postali rablji svojih bratov in prijateljev, ali da padejo od njihovih rok.
Izzval je med nami vstaje in najhujskal proti 11am krvoločne indijanske divjake, katerih vojskovanje je zverska moritev starčkov in dece, moških in žensk.
V	vsakem slučaju teh naštetih krivic smo se pritožili na najponižnejši način, toda vsaka naša pritožba in prošnja je obrodila še več krivic. Vladar, čigar značaj ga v luči omenjenih krivic označuje zatiranja, ni sposoben, da bi vladal svoboden narod.
Nismo hoteli delati nobene krivice našim britanskim bratom. Svarili smo jih neštetokrat, da naj si ne prilaščajo neopravičene oblasti nad nami;
opozarjali smo jih tudi na okolščine naše emigracije in naselitve v teh kolonijah. Apelirali smo na njihovo prirojeno pravičnost in velikodušnost; sklicevali smo se na sorodne vezi med nami in jih prosili, da naj nehajo s krivičnim prilaščanjem oblasti, ki bi moralo pretrgati te vozi. Oni so bili gluhi za naše pravične glasove in niso se ozirali na naše krvno sorodstvo. Zato moramo danes tudi njih, ki obsojajo našo ločitev, smatrali za to, kar velja za vse ostalo človeštvo: za sovražnike v vojni in prijatelje v miru.
Zaradi tega izjavljamo mi zastopniki Zedinjenih držav ameriških, zbrani v generalnem kongresu in kličoči najvišjega Sodnika za pričo naših čistih namenov, in slovesno proglašamo v imenu vsega dobrega ljudstva teh kolonij, da so te Združene kolonije od danes in da imajo pravico biti SVOBODNE in NEODVISNE DRŽAVE, da so proste vsakega podaništva do britanske krone, da so popolnoma pretrgane vse politične vezi med njimi in Veliko Britanijo in da imajo te kolonije kot SVOBODNE IN NEODVISNE DRŽAVE od danes zanaprej vso moč napovedovati vojno, sklepati mir, ustanavljati zveze, voditi trgovino ter storiti in vršiti vse, kar imajo pravico storiti NEODVISNE DRŽAVE. Da izvedemo ta svoj proglas in zaupajoč v božjo Previdnost, se zavezujemo, da smo pripravljeni žrtvovati svojo čast, imetje in svoje življenje.
.IOHN HANCOCK, predsednik kongresa. (Sledi 55 podpisov zastopnikov iz vseh prvih trinajstih držav.)
Št. 14, Euclid, Ohio. — Naše zadnje seje se je udeležilo lepo število članic. Na programu smo imele več važnih zadev. Dne 13. smo imele skupno sv. mašo pri burski Mariji v Chardon Rd. Zadnjega maja je bil nad vse lep l>ogreb Leo Troha, moža naše članice Veronike Troha. Njej in družini izrekam iskreno sožalje. Pokojni pa naj počiva v miru božjem.
Na seji smo tudi počastile Mrs. Centa, ki je zadnji mesec praznovala 25 letnico svoje poroke. Vse članice ji želimo, da bi jih dočakala še vsaj 25, ali pa več.
Ses. Rozi Rupret je s soprogom Frankom odpotovala na obisk stare domovine. Želimo jima srečno pot in zdrav povratek.
Naša predsednica se zelo trudi, da bi naše društvo dobro napredovalo, članice so sklenile, da v juniju in avgustu ne bo seje, zaradi prevelike vročine in počitnic. Toda že sedaj vabimo na obisk naše septemberske seje in potem redno naprej.
Bolanih je še vedno več sester: ses. Turk je prestala hudo operacijo, ses. Vidovec tudi ses. Strnad in ses. Blatnik, ki je prav rada prihajala na naše seje, toda sedaj jo noge tako bolijo, da ne more več. Molimo za vse bola-ne sestre, da bi jim Bog vrnil ljubo zdravje.
Ta večer so darovale v “gud tajm” blagajno: ses. Hrovat $1, Jakolos $2, Hočevar $1 in Smrdel $2. Vsem najlepša hvala, naj vam Bog povrne na vašem zdravju. Pozdravlja
Antonia Sustar
Št. 15, Cleveland, O. — Majniška seja je bila prav lepo obiskana.
Globoko sožalje izrekamo ses. Uršuli Pozorelli ob izgubi dragega moža in očeta Antona P. Naj blagi pokojni počiva v miru.
23. maja sta slavila 25 letnico zakonskega življenja Mr. in Mrs. Don Kostelic. Vse jima želimo, da bi dočakala 50 letnico zdrava in srečna, posebno se ženi, ki ne more hoditi. Bog in Marija naj ji da potrpljenja.
Dne 16. maja sta pa Mr. in Mrs. Anton Meljač obhajala 55 letnico skupnega življenja. Naj jima bo naklonjeno, da bi dočakala še GO letnico poroke. Ona je naša dobra članica in rada pomaga podružnici ter pride vedno na seje. Bog vaju živi še mnogo let!
V	blagajno so darovale v denarju: Tvoulse I,ičan, Mrs. Gros, Mrs. J. Gliha, Mrs. Kozuplik, Mrs. Kozar in Mrs. Habjan. Pecivo pa so darovale: Josephine Gliha, Jeanie Resnik, Frances Novak in Theresa Jerič. Najlepša hvala vsem!
Slavile smo materinski dan ob velikem številu članic. Imele smo vsega v izobilju za jesti in piti, da je bilo prav veselo. Dolgo smo še prepevale Marijine pesmi. Srčna hvala za lepo udeležbo.
Precej članic imamo bolanih, ene že dalje časa. Naj jim Presveto Srce Jezusovo in Marijino skoraj zdravje podeli.
V	želji, da se po počitnicah zopet zdrave zberemo na septemberski seji, pošiljam sesterske pozdrave vsem.
Frances Lindich, preds.
Št. 19, Eveleth, Minn. — Seja v maju je bila lepo obiskana, kar je odboru v veselje. Podana so bila poročila odbornic. Vsa čast zapisnikarici Frances Sterle, ki točno zabeleži ves potek seje in članice so zadovoljne, ko vidijo, da je vse lepo poročano. Prihodnja seja bo 12. avgusta na domu tajnice ob dveh popoldne. Pridite vse, ker bomo razmotrivale o državnem Zvezinem dnevu, ki bo v Aurori drugo nedeljo v septembru. Podružnica št. 35 se bo gotovo pripravila za lep sprejem članic, ki bodo prišle iz raznih krajev železnega okrožja.
Spomnile smo se tudi na Materinski dan. Letos je bilo sklenjeno, da so bo počastile vse matere pri podružnici. Imele smo se prav lepo; članice so prinesle vseh vrst dobrot. Sestra Sterle je prinesla krasno torto, druge so nanesle potic, krofov in peciva ter tudi darovale za ročno blagajno. Prisrčna hvala vsem za darove. Naša podružnica si je nabavila “percolator” za kavo kuhat, ki drži 40 skodelic, tako, da imamo lahko dovolj kave na vsaki seji. Prisrčna hvala sestram Polack, Sterle in Chapel, ld so lepo mizo uredile in okrasile z vsemi dobrotami. V sredini mize so pa postavile lepo okrašen Marijin kip. Bilo je prav veselo razpoloženje in še posebno, ker je bila med nami sestra Intihar po težki bolezni.
V	bolnišnici se je nahajala sestra Frantar. Na domu se zdravijo sestre Habjan, Jerome in Stimetz. Dalje so v bolnišnici sestre Kaps, Margaret Turk, Mihavtz, Levstek in Straham. Vsem bolnim sestram želimo skoraj-šno okrevanje. Pogrešane ste bile na seji. Tudi jaz sem se nahajala v bolnišnici za 14 dni in to takoj po Veliki-noči. Najsrčnejša hvala za obiske v bolnišnici in na domu, kakor tudi za voščilne kartice, darila, cvetlice in za vse kar ste mi poslale, v bolezni človek še posebno občuti prijateljstvo. Hvala tudi zdravniku Dr, Kochevar in bolniškim strežnicam za vso ljubeznivost. Prisrčna hvala Msgr. Jer-she za obiske v bolnišnici. Vedno vam bom hvaležna.
Letos smo izgubile že dve članici. Prva nas je zapustila sestra Skriner. Dne 25. maja smo pokopali našo zvesto sestro Magdaleno Filipovič. Nahajala se je tri tedne v bolnišnici. Bila je vedno čvrstega zdravja in kar na enkrat jo je napadel hudi prehlad. Smrt jo je ugrabila iz naše srede, toda spomin na njo bo ostal zavedno med nami. Zapustila je dva sina, oba oženjena, ter enajst vnukov. Mož je umrl leta 1943. Vsem preostalim izrekamo globoko sožalje. Pokojni sestri naj bo ljubi Bog dober plačnik v večnosti.
Drage sestre, prosim, da bi obiskale bolne sosestre, ki bodo zelo vesele o-blskov.
Iskrene čestitek vsem graduantom z
željo, da bi jiiu bila bodočnost blagoslovljena z uspehi.
Vsem članicam in prijateljem, ki se nahajajo na izletih in še posebno o nim, ki so se podali v rodno domovino, želim, da bi se dobro imeli in nad vse pa želim srečen in zdrav povratek vsem skupaj.
Toplo priporočam, da bi segle po kuharskih knjigah, katere imam na rokah. Razveselite svoje hčerke in snahe s to knjigo in jim boste dale darilo za katerega vam bo vsa družina hvaležna, ker bodo vsi dobro jed-
li	in uživali različna jedila.
Pozdrav vsem članicam Zveze in posebno urednici Corinne, ki tako zanimivo urejuje naše glasilo!
Mary Lenich, taj.
Št. 20, Joliet, lil. — Naše sožalje velja družinam članic, ki so izgubile svoje drage v preteklih mesecih. Preminul je v lepi starosti 84 let, Mr. Anton Smolich, ki je imel tukaj svoj dom zadnjih 60 let. Rojen je bil v Sloveniji. Za njim žaluje soproga Catherine, 5 sinov in 6 hčera.

ZAPISNIK DRŽ. SEJE

Drž. preds. Mary Bostian je zborovanje odprla z molitvijo in željo za uspeh združenega zasedanja podružnic za napredek Slovenske Ženske Zveze.
Navzoče so bile odbornice in zastopnice posameznih podr., kakor tudi gl. preds. Toni Turek, voditeljica mladine, Louise Epley, voditeljica televad-nega krožka, Frances Sietz, princezi-nja št. 50, Rose Želodec in G članic ‘drill team,” ki so pomagale v tej ali drugi smeri. Prisotna je bila tudi Pen-na drž. preds. Mary Tomšič s članicami in dvema sestrama.
Predsednica predstavi vsako posebej, čestita št. 41 k obletnici ustano vitve ter želi mnogo uspehov zasedanju. Posebej se tudi zahvali vsem za lepo udeležbo in za neumorno delovanje članic. Predlaga tudi, da bi se vse podružnice potrudile in pridobile nove članice in tako nadomestile nastale vrzeli članic, ki so nas za vedno zapustile.
Št. 21, Cleveland, O. — Najprej vse članice Zveze najlepše pozdravljam. Prisrčne čestitke veljajo ses. Frances Cimperman, ki je že 12-tič stara mati. Mladi mamici in hčerkici pa ljubega zdravja. — Čestitke so na mestu tudi Mr. in Mrs. Lawrence Kožuh, ko bodo kar trije iz njune družine prejeli diplome za višje šole. Imajo prav pridne vnuke in vnukinje.
Zadnja seja je bila kar povoljno obiskana, toda črez poletje ne bo sej do septembra. Toda sedaj je dober čas za pridobiti kaj novih članic. Prosila bi rada, da se vse potrudite in pripeljete na septembersko sejo kaj novih, ker letos smo izgubile prav dobre sestre, za katere še vedno žalujemo, te so: Julija Oblak, Ana Zavren, Ana Šušteršič, Mary Rahne in Sophie Borek. Molimo za nje. Naj počivajo v miru.
Posebnih novic nimam, pa želim vsem mnogo koristnega počitka in da se zopet zdrave vrnete na sept. sejo, do takrat pa "Z Bogom.”
Frances Kave, poroč.
Št. 24, La Salle, III. — Sedaj se že nahajamo v poletnem počitniškem času. Vsem, ki se podajate na daljše potovanje črez veliko lužo, ali pa tudi na krajše izlete, želimo srečno vrnitev. V juliju in avgustu ne bomo imele sej, potem boste pa čitale v našem lokalnem listu datum naslednje seje in upam, da se je boste udeležile v velikem številu. Prosim tudi, da tiste, ki ste v zaostanku za asesmentom, da bi čimprej poravnale. Vse ki pošiljate asesment po pošti, pa bi že lahko ve-

Predlagano je bilo, da se predloži gl. odboru, da bi člane mladinskega oddelka obdržali do 30 leta starosti in bi šele potem prestopili v odrasli oddelek, ker bi se tako verjetno obdržalo večje število članic.
Prečitano je bilo povabilo na Pelina drž. konvencijo, ki se bo vršila 19. sept. v Oakmont, Pa. pod pokroviteljstvom podr. št. 91.
Nato so bile predstavljene odbornice posameznih podružnic, če imajo kake pritožbe, ali predloge in po vedele, da je zadnja konvencija povišala pet centov na mesec za tiste, ki ste 75 in 80 let, zato prosim, da to upoštevate in mi olajšate delo.
Teta štorklja se je oglasila pri Mr. in Mrs. Theodor Bernard in jima podarila zalo hčerkico. Materino dekliš-ime je bilo Helen Knap. Čestitke!
V	bolnici so se nahajale: Mary Sever, Frances Kotar, Ana Dular, Mary Baznik, ki si je zlomila roko. Sedaj se vse zdravijo na domovih. Vsem želimo hitrega ozdravljenja.
Iskreno sožalje izrekamo Rozi Furlan, Ana Matthews, Dorothy O’Keef, Florence Smrkal, ki žalujejo za svojim očetom, Andrew Urbanc, ki je preminul v lepi starosti 85 let. Naj blagemu pokojniku sveti večna luč.
Na rokah še imam nekaj kuharskih knjig, če jih katera želi, jih lahko dobi pri meni.
Pozdrav celokupnemu članstvu Zveze širom Amerike.
Angela Strukel, taj.
Št. 25, Cleveland, O. — Po dolgem času se zopet malo oglasim. Prelepi mesec maj je že za nami. Pri naši fari smo imeli vsaki večer smarnično pobožnost in udeležba je bila prav po-voljna. Pri naši podr. smo zelo lepo počastile našo letošnjo zaslužno mater, Julio Bokar. Bila je presenečeno zahvala Mrs. Bokar za njeno dobro vesela, ker ni pričakovala obdaritve in pohvalnih čestitk. Res, pohvala in delo za našo Zvezo in upamo, da bo tudi hčere in vnuke vpisala v našo Zvezo.
čini so se vse pohvalno izrazile n delovanju podr. in Zveze.
Mary Bostian sporoči, da bo Cleveland praznoval “Slovenski dan” 17. okt. v Recher Hall in predlaga, da bi članice se udeležile te slavnosti v narodnih nošah. Istega dne bo mladina pokazala svoje talente pod vodstvom Mrs. Ann Cook, ki je hčerka Mrs. God-lar in vzorna čla. št. 32.
Datum prihodnje drž. konvencije ni bil dokončno določen. Prednost se da podr. št. 47, ki bo prih. leto 17. jun. slavila 35 letnico ustanovitve. V slučaju, da bi odbor omenjene podr. odklonil, bo pa podr. št. 50, radevolje sprejela, ker bo v oktobru slavila 35 letnico.
Ob zaključku so članice drill teama prižgale in ugasnile sveče ter molile za umrle članice podružnic. Zadnja sveča je ugasnila za vse podr. Bilo je res ganljivo in čast gre ses. Frances Sietz.
Zborovanje je bilo zaključeno ob 4:45 pop. in v spodnjih prostorih je čakala okusna večerja in dobra godba v zadovoljstvo vseh.
Bog vas blagoslovi in pozdrav vsem.
Marie Beck, zapisnikarica
Imele smo tudi vsakoletno kraljico in ta čast je letos zadela našo pridno nadzornico Jennie Feme. Podarile smo ji Marijin kip s spletenim vencem, katerega je podarila Miss Thomas Svetanovič in drugo. Ses. Feme prav pridno pomaga pri delu za napredek naše podr. Prav pridna je tudi naša Mrs. Golinski, ki skrbi, da so vse članice lepo postrežene, da so zadovoljne in tako zopet pridejo na naslednje seje. — Zelo pridna je tudi Mrs. Vicki Faletič, ki je vse potrebno preskrbela za našo kraljico. Res, ne more priti na vsako sejo, ker je zaposlena in ima skrbeti za družino. Ona je dobra pevka. Prejšnja leta je ona pela pri vsaki naši prireditvi s sestro Olga Urbas.
Sedaj pa moram poročati tudi žalostne novice. Preminula je naša ustanoviteljica, Louise Piks. Bila je naša dobra dolgoletna članica in blagajničarka. Bila je liiirne in tihe narave. Bila sem v uradu z njo v treh društvih in smo se vedno dobro razumele. Za njo žaluje sin in hčer.
Umrla je tudi dobro poznana Julia Makse. Bila je skromna žena in vdova 36 let. Ostala je sama s tremi malimi otroci in je morala na cesto suhe rože prodajati, da je otroke zredila. V tistih časih niso dajali podpor, zato je morala Lrdo delati, da je preživela otroke in sbe.
Umrla je tudi Ana Zupančič, ki je tudi bila dolgoletna članica. Ravno sto se s možem pripravljala na proslavo zlate poroke, pa je morala na nagloma v bolnico in po enem tednu je umrla. Poleg moža in otrok zapušča tudi 19 vnukov.
BOG ŽIVI ZLATOPOROCENCA !

Drage sestre, ker imam zopet posel tajnice, vas lepo prosim, da bi prinesle poravnati, katere ste zaostale, saj veste, da pri moji mladosti ne morem več tako teči. Prosim, da bi prinesle na sejo, ali pa 25. v mesecu, ali pa pošljite na dom.

Št. 26, Pittsburgh, Pa. — Najlepši letni čas pomladi in cvetočeta maja, je že za nami. Mesec junij, pa je mesec vrtnic ali roses, ki nam tudi prinašajo spomine na staro domovino in v tej naši novi domovini Ameriki, i-mamo mnogo priložnosti in veliko izbiro najlepših rož, katere moremo gojiti v naših vrtovih.
Naša “luncheon party” se je dobro obnesla in zahvala velja vsem članicam, ki so prispevale z darili in ki so se udeležile in napolnile vse postore do zandnjega sedeža. Naša zalivala velja tudi pridnim sestram, ki so pomagale v kuhinji in raznašale na mize, da je bilo vse hitro urejeno. Posebna zahvala gre tudi g. župniku Matija Kebe za oznanilo v cerkvi, da so vse članice vedele in ni bilo nobene zamude. Zahvala tudi naši oznanje-valki na Slovenski radijski uri, Mary Skerlong, ki je večkrat oznanila na radiju, da so tudi naše bolj oddaljene članice prišle.
V	poletnih mesecih ne bo sej, ker gremo bolj rade na piknike, kakor pa na seje. Tudi so večinoma naše članice plačale asesment v naprej za celo leto, tako, da ne bo nič zamujenega. Vsekakor pa upamo, da l>oste na našo prihodnjo sejo v septembru vse prišle. Želim vsem vesele počitnice v zdravju in zadovoljstvu. Bolnim članicam pa želim, da bi se v bolj toplem vremenu hitro pozdravile in se vrnile med nas. Naj vas Bog živi! Pozdravlja,	Mary	Bahor,	blag.

cem prav iskreno želimo, da bi v zdravju in zadovoljstvu dočakali še mnogo obletnic in Bog vas živi!

Po seji nas je pogostila za njen rojstni dan ses. Nettie Strukel, za kar ji prav lepa hvala in še mnogo srečnih obletnic. Lepa hvala tudi ses. Mari Jurkezi za pecivo.
Vsem našim bolnim sestram želimo čimprejšnjega okrevanja, zdrave pa vse pridite na prihodnjo sejo.
S sesterskim pozdravom,

Št. 71, Strabane, Pa. - Vreme imamo prav muhasto, enkrat prevroče, drugi dan pa zopet mraz.
16.	maja smo se odpeljale v Cleveland na prireditev skupnih podružnic in Ohijsko državno Zvezino konvencijo. Z menoj je bil moj sin Bill, njegova žena in moji dve sestri, Mrs. Šenkinc in Mrs. Chesnik. Konvencija je bila zelo zanimiva in velja priznanje drž. preds. Mary Boštjan in gl. preds. Mrs. Turek za njuno vzorno delo za napredek Zveze. Na zborovanju je bila velika udeležba in zastopanih je bilo mnogo podr. Žal mi je bilo, da se nismo mogli udeležiti banketa, ker zaradi velike oddaljenosti, smo morali prej na pot in tudi smo šli obiskati brata in ženo, ki je bo lana.
2.	junija je naša blagajničarka, Mary Boštjančič postala že petič stara mamica. Lepe čestitke, Mary! Mo-

Št. 77, Pittsburgh, Pa. — Najprej se moram zahvaliti vsem, ki ste se udeležile naše majske prireditve in tako lepo pripomogla do lepšega uspeha. Seveda, udeležba bi lahko bila še boljša, toda je težko dobiti članice skupaj.
Zopet smo v lepi poletni dobi, katero smo tako z veseljem pričakovali in dne 29. julija to je zadnji četrtek, bomo imele svoj letni piknik, ki se bo vršil v Riverview Park v Activities Lodge, ali Shelter. Jedila bodo prosta za vse naše člane in članice.
Vse ste vljudno prošene, da se tega piknika udeležite v lepem številu, da se malo pogovorimo in razvedrimo v družbi znancev in prijateljev.
Na letni seji smo zopet sklenile, da to poletje ne bomo imele sej 3 mesece, to je julija, avgusta in septembra. Naša prva prihodnja seja bo 14. oktobra.
Katere še dolgujete svoje mesečne prispevke, bi prosila, da poravnate, kajti asesment bi rada poslala na gl. urad za 3 mesece v naprej.
Nesreča nikoli ne počiva, zato bodite previdne to poletje na vaših potovanjih, kakor tudi doma, da se vse zopet vidimo zdrave na naši seji v oktobru. Želim vam veliko zabave in razvedrila. Vsem bolnim pa ljubega zdravja. Naj vam Bog nakloni mnogo zdravja. Pozdravlja,
Minka Chrnat, taj.

Na seji smo sklenile, da v poletnih mesecih, julija in avgusta ne bomo imele sej in tako se bo naša prihodnja seja vršila dne 2. sept. ob 7 uri zvečer. Že sedaj ste vse vabljene, da se te seje udeležite v velikem številu.
Bolne so sledeče članice:	Edith
Drawenik je v bolnišnici, dalje Gertrude Rupert, Mary Janesh, Antoinette Kovach. Vsem želim ljubega zdravja, da bi bile na prihodnji seji vse navzoče in se dobro počutile.
Tukaj imamo prav lepo vreme, rože so v najlepšem cvetju po vrtovih in okoli hiš.
Pozdravljam vse članice, posebno pa urednico.
Frances Lukanich, poroč.

III HOYS and (URLS,
July opens the second half of tile year with a bang. Almost that is, since on the 4tli the birthday of our United States is celebrated.
July days are hot and lazy. It is a time of year to spend outdoors family picnics, games, trips and vacations, at the pool, golf course or tennis court. July is a time to observe and listen to nature — the birds and their songs, the ripening of vegetables, the blooming of flowers, the study of insects or relaxation in the shade of a tree and reading.
July is a good time to learn something -— bake cookies, sew a shift, embroider pillowcases or the basic knitting stitches. Such activities help you pass away a rainy day.
From several books I’ve picked a few items which 1 hope you will find interesting.
Remember, idle hands are the devil’s workshop. Keep busy always. May you have many enjoyable summer days!
Your friend, REGINA
DON'T BELIEVE IT!!
There’s no lead in lead pencil.
A pencil is filled with graphite. There’s no soda in soda water.
It is water charged with carbon dioxide.
The flying fox is not a fox, nor does it fly.
It is large bat. It does not fly, it glides.
Peanuts are no nuts.
They are beans, and grow underground.
The ladybird is not a bird.
It is a beetle.
A guinea pig is not a pig.
It is a rodent.
There is no tea in beef tea.
It is made from beef, and is served as broth.
Kid gloves are not made of kid.
They are made of lambskin.
A titmouse is not a mouse.
It is small bird.
Rose fever has nothing to do with roses.
It is caused by spring grasses. Camphor balls do not contain camphor.
They are made of napthalene.
The Red Sea is not red.
It is bluish green, like most bodies of water.

BEAN BAG
A Handy Home-made Toy
One of the easiest ways to make a bean bag is to use one of Daddy’s old socks. Fill the toe of the sock about three-quarters full, with dried beans, cherry pits, or buttons. Then cut off the sock about 4 inches up. Now turn in the raw edges and sew the open end closed. Be sure to use good, strong thread.
Make the bean bag cute by sewing a face on it. Use two little scraps of material for eyes, another scrap for a nose, and a little strip lor a mouth.
A bean bag is much easier to catch and hold than a ball; and because it doesn’t bounce, it is especially good for indoor play.
