Four years have already passed since the Strugglers came into be- ing and since the beginning they have been active in everything that concerns the Slovenes of Col- linvvood in particular and the Slo veneš of Cleveland in general. With the Fourth Anniversary they vvill lay off being active and enjoy themselves vvith a clance vvhich vvill be held at the Slovene Work- ingmen s Home in Waterloo Rd. The Struggler Harmony Aces vvill entertain from 2:00 P. M', un¬ til 1 2 :00 P- M. in the evening. It vvill be continuous dancing. It vvill be a genuine pleasure to dance and there will be plenty of it. The Strugglers invite everybddy to come and eelebrate vvith them. From ali appearances the chil- dren of the Slovene School have reflected the enthusiasm of their teachers in the course of study of the Slovene language and in the annual spring play, they are shovving their teachers that they have learned and learned vvell the lessons taught them. They are shovving an enthusiasm vvhich the teachers have instilled into them by the manner in vvhich they are studying the parts and the characters vvhich they have been assigned them in the tvvo plays vvhich they vvill produce on Saturday, May 9th at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Ave. When the tvvo play for this year: Povodni Moz (The Water Man) and a Forced Vocation is an Objectional Vocation, have been announced the children have been asking for parts. In the former the parts are adapted for boy and the latter for girls’ parts alone. To date the parts have been given to Frank Kačar, Rudolph and Max Germ, Paul¬ ine Tavčar, Rudolph Stefančič and Mary Brezar. For the latter 1 play the parts have been given to Martha Modic, Vida Shifrer, Mary Modic, Bertha Erste and Victoria Spelic. This is only a partial list of the players and more vvill be added until there vvill be more than fifty appearing in this year’s production. The tickets for the plays vvill be distributed tomorrovv and friends of the children and of the Slovene School are asked to buy them from the children and encourage them in their work. Orel vvill help celebrate Moth- er’s Day vvith a very appropriate program to be given at the Slo¬ vene National Home on St. Clair on May 1 Oth. It vvill be a very elaborate affair if one can de- pend upon the preparations and enthusiasm shovvn thus far. Fr. Sodnikar, the director of the shovv, has arranged a vvell varied program, consisting of a four-act. play, entitled “Bele Vrtnice” vvhich vvill be the nucleus of the program and many minor acts to vary the program and give a little of everything that the peo¬ ple like. Besides this, a large chorus of childrerCš voices is go- ing over the pieces vvhich they vvill render in honor of their mothers. To truly dedicate the evening to the mothers, the Orels are also planning to surprise each mother present vvith a beautiful token. It has been the custom of the Orels to annually celebrate Mother’s Day, for they feel that no honor can be more fitting a mother than such a program in vvhich they glorify the meaning of Mother. It is the duty of every son and daughter to re- member, at least once a year the love and suffering that a mother gives them year after year; and (Continued on page four) NEW SECTION IN CLEVELAND JOURNAL ASKS FOR NAME Best Suggestion Offered Prize in Contest Which Will CIose Tuesday, May 5th. BY CARL W.

So much interest has been stirred that six organizations vvhich in- clude every possible activity of the young people have been com¬ bined to make the shovv some- thing different and unusual. Six Clubs vvhich represent the interests of ali active young peo¬ ple have been enlisted in mak- ing up the program vvhich vvill be given in the afternoon and eve¬ ning. They are the Young Ladies Sodality, The Serenaders Glee Club, the C.raspr Girls, The Nevv¬ burgh Band, The Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, Troop 2 1 6. Every activity vvill be repre¬ sented by the program vvhich in- cludes a play entitled “Hovvdy, Folks,” a presentation of the So- dality, “Why the Rubbish” by the Girl Scouts. The Serenaders Glee Club vvill present a part of the minstrel shovv in Slovene. The Boy Scout organization vvhich is functioning for the last fevv months vvill appear in a dem- onstration of Scouting in a pro¬ gram entitled “Be Prepared" vvhich vvill include a program of the pageant of the Scout Oath and Lavv, signalling and first aid. Besides these entertainers there is a special musical bili consisting of accordion players vvhile the mušic before and after the per- formance vvill be supplied by the Nevvburgh Boys’ Band. The performance vvill take plače in the afternoon at 3:00, and at 7:00 in the evening. The column or section for the feminine readers has become a reality vvith the present edition of the Cleveland Journal. It is there minus a name. What shall it be called? The appeal is made to the readers vvho are especially interested in the column to con- tribute suggestions for a name for the column. Every vvoman and young lady is invited to send in a name for the column or sec¬ tion. It is up to you to name it. Won’t you send in your sug¬ gestion today? The rules are simple. The name must reflect that it is a fem¬ inine column. It must be short. The suggestions must reach the office not later than May 5 th, signed vvith name and address. For the suggestion adopted there vvill be a cash prize avvarded. The jvomcn’s column is a thing vvhich belong to the vvomen them¬ selves and they are invited to ex- press their opinions to the editor or the conductor of the column, Miss Frances T.

Everything vvas planned and executed in such order that it afforded an after¬ noon of real laughter and real fun such as the Comrades are knovvn to offer. On the occasion of their Fifth Anniversary they certainly gave the customers more than they ex- pected to get. With an excellent performance in the afternoon they capped the evening vvith a dance vvhich has been styied as “Doljack-Comrades Nite” and rightly so because they have had the honor of encouraging Frank Doljack member of the Detroi. Tigers’ team to come and sav hello to the bunch as they there holding their fifth annlvei- sary. But the talk of the afternoon vvas the Chesty Whale “Girls" a complete innovation and a sur¬ prise. One is almost tempted to say a screaming surprjse, vvith a chorus of male members of Com¬ rades in vvomens costumes. Everyone on the bili vvas good and merited the abundant ap- plause vvhich vvas accorded. Of special mention iš the čast of the play “His Father’s Gone South” vvith John Alich, Anna Erste and Joseph Jarc taking the leading roles and performing vvithout a hitch and supported equally as vvell by members vvho have had a minor role. A FAREWELL DANCE The Klever Kids Klub is vvind- ing up their vvinter social activi¬ ties vvith a gigantic and gala Farevvell Dance on Saturday, the tvventy-fifth of April featuring those vvell knovvn melody kings "The Arcadian Melody Pilots.” There vvill be refreshments gal- ore. Those vvho have attelrded their dances in the past can re- call the vvonderful time they had. So come one! Come ali! And lets make this FareWell Dance a real success.

TO CLOSE m OLD PL« Slovene Adaptation of Figaro’s Marriage to be Season^s Con- cluding Play PEOPLE DEMAND TION REPITI- Linhart’s Play to Receive Excell- ent Treatment at Hands of Excellent Čast As the closing play of the sea- son of the “Ivan Cankar” dram¬ atic society the players vvill pre¬ sent Linhart’s “Matiček se ženi” nexl Sunday afternoon and eve¬ ning at the auditorium of the Slo¬ vene National Home on St. Clair avenue. The play vvill include singing, dancing and other novel- ties vvhich are not usually the part of an ordinary play. The present play has been chosen in order to fulfill the oft repeated request vvhich the pa- trons of the Cankar plays have made for since it vvas produced the first time more than 5 sea- sons ago to a capacity audience. Slovene Classic And there is no vvonder that the patrons of the plays vvhich Cankar produces should ask for it. It is replete vvith action and the most intriguing circumstance vvhich produce plenty of oppoi- tunities for laughter. It is a sim¬ ple story full of fun. Linhart, the first Slovene dramatist, has put into it ali the things vvhich make it a play that vvould be re- quested the second time once it had been performed. The story is based on the plot of Beaumarchais, the author of “Le folle Journee ou le Mariage de Figaro” vvhich has also re- ceived operatic treatment by Rossini. In the Slovene the plot has been considerably changed and adapted to the lives and the contemporary Slovene customs vvhich hovvever, have not changed much even at this late date.

The building is beginning to take shape and it is expected that the roof vvill be started in a fevv days. Even at this early stage the structure is impressive and it can readily be seen that it vvill be massive and solid. It is ex- pected that by June fst ali out- side vvork vvill have been com- pleted and the interior started, so that ali of us can hope that the nevv church vvill be ready for opening by the end of October. This Saturday morning at nine o’clock at St. Paul’s Church vvill see Ernie Zupančič. United to Theresa Maglicic as partner for life. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathevv Maglicic of 988 Addison Road and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Zupančič of 6317 Orton Court.

A reception vvill be held at the home of the parents of the groom and vvill be attended onlv by rel- i'tives and close friends of the family. INTER-FRAT TO DISPORT IN SPRING FROLIC Under the auspices ot the St. Clair Bath House Council the Inter-Frat oasketball teams vvill have another dance at the Slo¬ vene National Home on St. Clair avenue on April 2 5 th. This vvill be the first occas' - — on vvhich the Inter-Frat vvill gel into the social affair of thifc kind since the tense season of local girls’ basketball has come to a close.

Segregation It would be ver v foolish if anyone would advocate the proposition that “when in Rome do not do as a Ro¬ man does.” It would mean a segregation policy of the worst sort and one wh.ich eannot be tolerated by anyone of any sense. Certainly it would be disastrous and sim- ple minded for anyone to advocate that one should be diarhetrically opposed to anything which is a part of the people who live with one as neighbors. Mentally or t member of society we wouId be writing our own suicide note. But, while it would be foolish to segregate oneself it would be equally as foolish to throw over everything vvhich one has at hand and eagerly adopt everything vvhich the “Roman” has. It means a denial of everything which one has and knows. It would be foolish to over- throw everythin'g in anxiety to get acouainted with some- thing vvhich is new and different. There is always a way in adapting oneself to the condition around him and mak- ing the eircumstances and new environment fit to his own personal satisfaction and thus live a life doubly replete with interest and fullness vvhich only one thing may fail to do. To the Slovenes, it is a parallel čase in trying to deny everything that is Slovene in the effort in trying to iden- tify oneself unconditionally American only. One eannot imagine the son of a Frenchman, or the son of a Scotch man saving that he was only American but will say that he is an American of Scotch descent because it is appar- ent that his fathers country has something that is worth \vhile and stands for something definite. The Slovene youth has the same opportunities of being proud of his parents and probably with much more reason because what the Slovene have they have bad to build under the most adverse eircumstances. The Slovenes, of ali the nationalities of Europe, can claim that their langauge is the only one vvhich is virtually the same as it was a thou- sand years ago in spite of ali the bureaucratic influences vvhich have been brought to press on the language and the imposition of others. Even the proud Irishman who has never seen Ireland but has an Irish name, vvho can- not speak the Irish language, the Gaelic, vvill be insulted if he is told that h e is not Irish. Certainly on that score alone the Slovene young man and young vvoman can be proud of being Slovene. It vvould be foolish to claim that the Slovene should be put above evervthing else but it is equally as foolish and possiblv it strikes vvith a note of falsehood when one claims that he is American onlv and nothing else. . Cer- tainly vve should be proud of the fact that we live in America and that vvhich America offers evervone of us. But why should we be so anxious to segregate ourselves from the connections of our mother’s language and the nationality to vvhich she belongs? Whv not get every- thing vve can from the fact that vve are Slovene and adapt it to the conditions of the plače in vvhich we live and make our ovvn lives doublv attraetive and satisfying. “The Good Earth,’’ by P. S. Buck is a new novel which im- mediately brings to mind the “Growth of the Soil" by Knut Hamsun and “Maria Chapde- laine” by Hemon. It is a tale of the possession of land, the rear- ing of a family, and the turning away of children from the soil which had been the means of success and pride to the father. When the latter is dying he is comforted and assured by the false promises of his aons that the land which had been his life work, would never go out of the family. Although the scenes of this story is laid in China, Mr. Buck has succeeded admirably in bringing before his readers the universal psychological truth o' this situation. The book prom¬ ises to be called and outstanetmg novel, ¥ H: ¥ “The Murder at the Pageant”. by White Church is a most intri- guing mystery story with the set- ting in a country manor house. When the story opens the LoVi of the manor and his guests have just finished giving an historic pageant representing a visit made by Queen Anne to the an- eestors of the present peer. The historic sedan chair, a valuable st ring of pearls, and a wilful mur¬ der ali make the vvorking out of the motives of the crime pleas- ingly difficult. “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love,” and one must concede that love and poetry as a rule go hand in hand or rather perhaps, poetry is the outgrowth of love. Hovvever, the spring time is the psychological time in which to read poetry and get the fullest enjoyment frem ir. In the col- lection of poems — “The Little Book of Modern Verse,” edited by J. B. Bittenhouse, one gets an excellent insight into tvven- tieth century thought in English and Irish verse. Starting vvith William Ernest Henley, there are one hundred poets represented in this collection, such poets a- Gscar Wilde, Kipling, Walte Butler Yeats, Richard Le Gallien ne, Laurence Housman, Hilairf Belloc, Walter de la Mare, G. K Chesterton, John Mksefield, John Drinkvvater, Edith Sitwell, Rup ert Brooke and many others Some of these names such as Masefield, Kipling, Chesterton and Drinkvvater are very signifi- cant in other fields of literature than that of poetry. But td get back to poetry, in this book may be found every kind of poem to help answer the thrills which the glorious spring weather alway" brings vvith it. For the love sick there are beautiful lyrics and for those vvho feel the gypsy blood begin to flow in their viens there are such poems as Sea fever: lice recovered the vvreckage, they found the emergency brake had pierced the girl’s lovver javv! Does it pay? 1 ¥ * ¥ A poor man, taking his fam- ily out for a Sunday afternoon ride, vvas peacefully driving along St. Clair avenue. Along came a young fellovv about 22 years of age, slightly intoxicated and crashed into this man’s car! The man’s vvife is now a per- manent cripple and iwo of the children vvere seriously hurt! Folks—does it pay? Does it pay to speed and drive care- lessly ? Just imagine hovv much sor- row can be caused, and what problems arise, because of some reckless driver. •y. * ¥ Another one of the Judge’s hints; “Gasoline and alehohol do nol mix!” Didja get that? ¥ * -e Judge Stacel informed his Bsteners that in spite of vvhat is said about vvomen drivers, he has had very few vvomen appear before him charges vvith speed- ing and reckless driving.

Already they are beginning to talk about it. “The vvhole vvorld is arming, said the dynamic Mussolini some months ago as if to excuse Italy s militarism. And David L o y George, perhaps a past number politically but a sage in years, thinks chaotis international rela- tions are surely but steaclily h a ing the vvorld tovvards another vvar, “not because anyone vvants it, but because nobody has the courage to stop the runaway horse of the vvar chariot. While visiting in Pariš former Senator “Jim” Reed of Missouri, calmer by his vacation from the halls of Congress, voiced the opinion that Europe “is like a man vvith a vvound vvho is deter- rnined to tear it open again. “Statesmen,” he said, are con- stantly talking about vvhat they must do to prevent the next vvar. But instead of helping their peo¬ ple go ahead vvith the problems of daily life and forget vvars, these same statesmen are con- stantly stirring up their people, raising armies, building up arma- ments, feeding animosities and, I fear, heading straigbt for the vvar they are alvvays talking about trying to avoid.

These little groups seek constantly and naturally to gain supposed advantages of one sort and another for their own nationals. Out of their efforts to enlarge or to strengthen or to maintain the interests intrusted to their charge the masses they rep- resent are gradually maneuvered into positions vvhich, to say the least, eannot easily be surrender- ed. If the process continues, sooner or later a situation arises in vvhich an agreement betvveen these small groups becomes im- possible.

Ws, way off form, lost to the visitors by a 2710 to 2535 score. At the banquet held at the Shvene National Home, the cuests were treated to as neat and delicious supper as they have ever had. The visitors were ]oud in praising the wonderful cooking offered them. During the supper the G. W.’s were pre- sented with watch fobs, as their prize in winning the Eastern title. Louis Kolar was the chairman and his speakers were Mr. Per¬ dan, National executive chair- man, Frank Drobnič, manager of the G. W.’s; Mr. Kompare, man- of the Pittsburghers; Mr. Jevitz, captain of the St. Peter and St. Paul quintet and Heinie Martin, president of the Inter- lodge. Heinie Martin also pre- sented the Interlodge bowling trophy to the George Washing- tons. After the supper, mušic was furnished by Jackie Zorc and i1 wasn’t until the wee hours of the morning that the affair broke up. It probably was that the G. W.’s stayed up too long for their balls. the next day worked like sponges bouncing off the pins instead of into them. JOHNNY KOVAČIČ — JOE maaaiMiiiiitkiiiai ~By HEINIE MARTIN— i! laaaunaaaaaaaa« DOLJACK Two young men with grips packed left Monday in quest of opportunity. Both have disting- uished themselves on the sand- lots. Both played and practiced these many years with an eye upon that goal when some day they would have the big oppor- tunity to step up to the plate at League park or Yankee Stadium to face a Lefty Grove and mingle with Ruth, Doljack, Kuhel, Vos- mik, Bill Sweeney etc. They have yet their hardest path to traverse this summer. First of ali they must make good with the Wheel- ing Stogies. Incidentally the latter club produced Frankie Dol¬ jack. Will it do likewise for our two latest propects, Johnny Ko¬ vačič and Joe Doljack, brother to Frankie? Had Professional Experience Both lads h ave Professional baseball experience.

The membership roster consists of such prominent fel- lows as Frank Mramor, John Pristov, Bill Svete, Rudolph Ka- sunic, “Lady” Cetinsky and Stan- ley Skok.

Menart, v/ho had been stand- ing at the rear of the store, ran out a rear door. “There he goes to call police,” Toedtman told the robbers. They fled then, escaping in an automobile they had parked near the store. A resident of the neighborhood obtained the li- cense number, vvhich was giv.en to police in their search for the handits. There was between $20 and $30 in the cash register. WEALTHY HAVE YACHTING FEVER Ernie Zupančič The agile, able and fleet foot- ed Ernie Zupančič fias plunged plunged not into the right field or first base crowd—that would he too disastrous. He has gone right on ahead and signed a life- time contract. Unlike in base¬ ball he will not be given his un- cor.ditional release when he gets old. Ernie Zupančič—is to be rnarried Saturday. Ernie Zupančič a baseball star for several years needs no intro- duction to baseball fans. He began his early baseball career ilong Carry Avenue where a lam,p-post and a brick or piece v/odd served as base. He broke into sandlot bali with the year e played with the St. Anthony Cadets where he immediately commanded the attention of the ans with his sensational fielding ability even while a youngster in člass D. Before long he scin- tillated on the Rosenblum c.ham- pionship team in ’27. He was :t the peak of his career at this time. The Cleveland Indians became interested in the kid sen- sation and made arrangements for his tryout in New Orleans. Iowever, cruel fate decided that Ernie should not ascend to the heights he has dreamed of ali Lis life. An infection set in on his hand and prevented him from making the trip to the Southern pring training camp. He recover- :d and played amateur bali in Cleveland. Last year Ernie played with the White Motors i class A and the Comella ma¬ jor indoor bali team. He says Mrs. Ernie Zupančič, who has always been an ardent dmirer of baseball is just as anxious as he is that he continue daying bali this summer. Ernie has signed a contract with the Rosenblums. We wish to congratulate M^r. and Mrs. Ernie Zupančič and if not too soon may we hope that an Ernie Jr. may succeed in what Ernie Sr., was deprived of — a Professional baseball career.

Three others pre- ceded it; the third was built by J. P.’s father in 1899, and it was i*ow given to the United States Geodetic Survey and the name changed to Oceanographer. Parched tongues werq not re- lieved by the sight of Morgan’s daughter cracking a quart of 1915 vintage champagne on the bow of the Corsair at its Bath, Me., launching. it was the first time since prohibition that the “real stuff” had been used for chirst- cning purposes. AH exposed vvoodwork on the new vessel is cf teak imported from India. Equipment includes a metal mic- ropjione for automatic steering, fathometer, bulkhead indicator and a radio direction hnder. Aphrodite, Payne Whitney’s “show” boat, is 303 feet long, one less than the old Corsair, v/hich was 304. Both vessels did patrol service in the Bay of Bis- c:iy during the World war. But Astor’s German-built Nounnanal, or Sea Rover, is the largest and most costly private yacht in the world. It was designed for lon^ deep-sea cruises and its bow re- sembles that of a liner. Also of recent buildings are tne three $1,000,000 sister yachts of Alfred E. Sloan jr., president and two other Geneial Motors officials. The ships are 196 feet at waterline and were to be cquipped with gyro-stabilizers to present rolling in rough seas. Then there is Irving T. Bush’ Coronet, built for heavy duty—D is 181 feet long. Electric refrig erating plant and steam heat in every room are among the many conveniences provided. Another yacht known espec- ial!y for its luxurious furnishings is Jesse Livermore’s Athero II which measures 163 feet at wat erline. It is said that few invi tations to parties aboard the Ath¬ ero II are turned down. The W K.

A Sketch COMMITTEE MEETING BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY Miss Aliče Pucel arranged a surprise birthday party in honor of her sister, Josephine, Saturday evening, April 18, 1931. The party was held at the cottage at Kastelic’s farm, and was a dis- tinct success. Besides the sisters there were present, Misses Anne and Mary Rehar, Mary and Anne Gornik, Frances Martinek, Jennie Prus- nick and Aliče Kastelic. Messrs. Mihelčič;., Germeck, Pajk, Modic, Johfl Donnelly, Dr. Račk and Fr. Gornik, Atty., were the gentlemen guests of the evening.

Janze- vich. RETURNS FROM CONCERT TOUR Miss Jeanette Perdan return- ed recently from a concert tour of Hermine, Pa., Girard and Lorain Ohio. The national costumes worn by Miss Perdan and Miss Irma Kalan, her accompanist, caused much favorable comment at the Baldwin-Wallace Women’s Club in Lakewood. Novvhere else does anyone get such a clcar impression of a hu¬ man being than in his 'own home, for as Mr. Mencken suggests, “the essence of a home lies in fis quality of representing in ali its details, the personality of the people who live in it.” Naturally, I was particuarly anxious to interview Mr. Ivan Zorman where I could best read his character - in his home. Mrs. Zorman, a most charm- ing lovely Iady received me. and ushered me into the spotless!y neat and comfortably appointed home. A bowl of freshly cut daffodils on the table added spring and color to the living room. In one corner stood a piano and on the mantel-piece rested the pictures of Mrs. Zor¬ man and Mr. Zorman’s father A drawing by Mr. Jakac of Miss Carmen Zorman hung on one wall and opposite it, the picture of Triglav. The atmosphere imbibed me with a sense of peace, comfort and serenity when almost sud- denly, with an alert and certain gait, Mr. Zorman, a tali, vvell- built, slightly stooped and care- fully groomed man came into the room. The Sirong character chiseled intellectual face, with its black bushy hair, seemed im- mobile but the small brovvn eyes srniled inquiringly, yet almost In- scrutably as I explained my mis- sion. Leading me into his den, where he spends so many busy hours writing composing and reading, he at once began to speak of his father and of Velesovo na enjskem, where he received his most cherished impressions, and he proudly exhibited a picture nf that village. He discoursed on the leaders of Slovenes and unaware unfold- ed the deep and reverent love he has for them. Scrutinizing every book in his library, I was amazed at the col- Iection, Schiller’s Wallenstein and William Tell, Goethe, books on operas and mušic, books of French, Italian and German. He proudly displayed the au- tographs of Oton Zupančič in his Sen Kresne Noči”, the trans- lation of Shakespeare’s Midsum- mer Night’s Dream, by F. S. Finžgar in “Prerokovana” of Pe¬ truška and of Jacob Aljaž, who autographed some of his books of mušic. A large commrttee meeting comprising sixteen members was held by the Community Welfare Club at the home of the presi- dent, Mrs. Johanna Mervar, 7801 Wade Park avenue. By-Iaws for the ensuing year were discussed in view of elec- tions which will be held next month. The members also spoke about the May Walk and the Annual Party to be held in June. A most unusual luncheon was served by Mrs. Mervar, consist- ing of Chop Suey, Friut Salad with Whipped Cream and Coffee.

News For This Column! Further news tor this column may be reported Dy telephone (my home number is KEnmore 3244J) or in čare of the Cleve¬ land Journal Thank you! Frances T. Gerbec ‘Why have you developed such a wonderful respect for Slo¬ venes?” I inquired, hopefully. I have had a wonderfuI, na- 1 tionally-minded father who play- ed a very important role in my life.” “Was there nothing more? Ali fathers are important in their sons lives,” I suggested. “Slovenia is very beautiful.” “Yes, but a number of young people come here in their prime. T hey see nothing very beautiful in it, I managed to say. “That is true. Perhaps deep- er than ali this is the truth that in spite of ali handicaps, the Slo¬ venes kept up their špirit and sur- vived. Their talent, too, com- pares in a better proportion with the other nations in the world, c.onsidering the size.” “Isn’t it sad then, that so many of our people feel ashamed of their nationality? Do you pre- sume that it is because the par- ents have not drawn for them an ideal, that they painted only the ugly side which resulted from centuries of oppression?” That is true.

An entire Slovene menu was served. At the concert which Miss Jeanette Perdan will give at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair avenue the people who come will have an opportunity of hearing a completely new and different kind of concert in con- tradistiction with the ones which Miss Perdan has been giving in the past. Miss Jeanette Perdan has been working on a totally different program which will include many numbers which have never been performed on the Slovene stage before. The program vvill in¬ clude arias from operas as well as many classical and semi-classi- cal numbers which will add to the charm and the completeness of the concert which will be given on Sunday May 3rd. One nf the new features which will be interesting as well as nov el is a flute obligahj which will accompany Miss Jeanette Per¬ dan in her numbers. But that is only one of the things which are being planned. Many of the numbers will be performed costume which will certainly add to the charm of the concert. By popular request Miss Jean¬ ette Perdan will include the 01ympia aria from the Tales of Hoffman which is also known as the Doli Song. Miss Perdan has included the number at the Col- linwood concert and now she has had so many requests for the number that she feels that she must include it. At the perform- ance in Collinvvood that number received 'much applause and much favorable comment. The number is performed in conjunc- tion with her brother Rudolph. A number of attractive prizes have been prepared for the best show. Proceeds vvill go to St. Lawrence Church.

Suits are inc.reasingly popular this season and the smart spring blouses have short sleeves that come half-way between the shoulder and elbow.
