Splošna delavska konfederacija je skušala prisiliti vlado, katere predsednik je Robert Schu-man, v sprejetje predloženih pogojev pred glasovanjem o proti-stavkovnem načrtu v skupščini. Zaradi opozicije komunistov je bilo glasovanje o načrtu odloženo. Promet na pariški podcestni železnici je bil ustavljen, ko so železničarji zastavkali. Druge javne naprave so tudi prizadete zaradi stavk, v katerih je udeleženih čez dva milijona delavcev. Plinarne in električne centrale so ustavile obrat. Gledališča v Parizu so zaprla vrata. Unija mestnih uslužbencev je oklicala stavko zadnjo soboto. Pariške ceste so nepočiščene in odpadki se grmadijo. Sabotaža se nadaljuje. Brzo-vlik Pariz-Lyon je skočil iz tira v bližini Bourg-en-Bressa. To je bil drugi incident v tistem kraju v treh dneh. Strojevodja in kurjač sta skočila z lokomotive, preden se je vlak iztiril. Nekaj potnikov je bilo ranjenih. Policijske enote in motorozi-rane vojaške čete so odprle železniške proge v severni Franciji do premogovnikov. Rudarji vztrajajo v stavki in zaloge premoga se naglo črpajo. Mnogo tovarn bo moralo zapreti vrata zaradi pomanjkanja premoga, če se bo stavka nadaljevala. Voditelji Splošne delavske konfederacije zahtevajo zvišanje plače do 1,500 frankov (okrog $12) na mesec. Vlada je ponudila zvišanje za 300 frankov. Konfederacija je ponudbo odločno zavrnila in poudarila, da »e ne bo pogajala z vlado, če ne bo slednja revidirala svojega blišča. f 1 Acceptancc for mailing at special rate of postafe provided for in aactiou 1102, Act of Oct 8. 1917, authorised on June 4. 1918 === 1 ■ 1 ■ ■ ■' Nemška stranka sklicala kongres Namen jc izvolitev delegatov B*rlin. 2. dec.—Stranka solistične enotnosti, ki je pod vplivom komunistov, Je sklicala VM*nemški kongres v Berlinu. Maršhallov načrt Amerika hoče pretvoriti Nemčijo v bazo i Moskva. 2. dec. — Sovjetski tisk in radio trdita, da je Maršhallov načrt odprto kršenje dogovorov, ki so bili sklenjeni na konferenci velike trojice v Pots-damu. Pravda, glasilo komunistične stranke, pravi, da je namen Amerike pretvoritev Nemčije v ameriško bazo v centralni Evropi. Pravda vprašuje, kakšni zaključki naj bi prišli iz ohranitve vojne potencialnosti Nemčije, ustavitve plačevanja reparacij Rusiji, izvajanja programa demilitarizacije, ohranitve na-cijskih kadrov, uključitve nemških firm in kartelov v sistem anglo-ameriških monopolov, ustavitve programa demokratizacije in politike likvidacije enotnosti Nemčije. Uradna časniška agentura Tass je poslala poročilo iz Londona, kjer so se zunanji ministri štirih velesil sestali na konferenci. Poročilo pravi med drugim, da člani ameriške delegacije niso storili ničesar za dosego sporazuma, temveč se celo poslužili vseh sredstev za pre-prečenje soglasja. Člani britske delegacije dosledno slede ameriški liniji, dočim so člani francoske delegacije demonstrirali, da se bodo podali ameriškemu pritisku. Dveletna doba po pots-damski konferenci je bila doba za uveljavljenje programa ameriškega imperializma, dočim je Maršhallov načrt odprl novo fazo v prizadevanjih za izvedbo programa. Arabci oklicali generalno stavko Izgredi izbruhnili v Palestini Jeruzalem, Palestina. 2. dec.— Arabci so oklicali generalno stavko v znak protesta proti zaključku skupščine Združenih narodov, da se Palestina razkosa na dve državi—židovsko in arabsko. Policijske enote in vojaške čete so pripravljene za akcijo. V izgredih v zadnjih dveh dneh je bilo osem oseb ubitih in mnogo ranjenih. Bojazen je, da se bodo izgredi in nemiri razširili na druge dežele. V Damaska, glavnem mestu Sirije, se je napetost povečala. Grupe Arabcev so metale kamenje na poslopje ameriškega konzulata, zažgale tri avtomobile pred poslopjem in raztrgale ameriško zastavo.

Nahajamo se 4e v mesecu decembru, ko morajo naša društv* izvesti volitve svojih uradnikov za poslovanje v nastopnem letu. Istotako je potrebno, da v tem mesecu razpravljamo o vseh drugih stvareh bolj dalekosežnega pomena ter delamo sWsti zaključke o vsem v zvezi z nameravanimi aktlvneeimi svojegl^iruštva v prihodnjem letu. Med to spadajo obletnice društev'in jednote tnr razne druge slavnosti in prireditve, kampanje sa n#ve člane, vprašanje mesta za društvene seje, društvenega doma in tako dalje. Sploh vse, kar je bolj važnega ali bolj dalekosešnegf pomena, spada na letno sejo, ki se v smislu pravil ima točno, izvršiti meseca decembra vsakega leta pri vsakem društvu naše jednote. Naša društva so kcajevni predstavniki jednote ter so tiste važne celice, ki tvorijo uradno vez med poedinimi člani trt glavnim uradom naše velike bratovščine. Kot nam je—ali bi moralo biti— vsem članom znano, obdržujeJo svoje redne aeje Vsej enkrat na mesec, izredne pa po potrebi, kjer sprejemajo nove Člane, odobravajo prošnje in nakaznic ter rešujejo razne druge zadeve za korist in dobrobit članstva. Vse to je zelo važno in potrebno. In ker so te celice tako važne posredovalke med člani in njih glavno matico ter vršijo vse poslovanje med društvom in jedpoto, je potem gotovo tudi važno, da jim postavimo na ¿¿to nijbolj lojalne in za vodstvo sposobne ljudi. In prav lz tega je lahko jasno vsakomur, zakaj je potrebno, da se udeležimo seje ta meeeo, ki je glavna društvena seja za to leto, ter po svoji najboljši moči sodelujemo vsi, da bo vodstvo našega društva za leto 1948 v rekah kar najbolj sposobnih ljudi mogoče. Razume se, da samo to, da se udeležimo vsak svojega društva letne seje, tudi ne bo povsem zadostovalo. Kajti petfebno je n« le, da se udeležimo seje z dobrim namenom in reanof¥*ljo, da bomo pomagali izvoliti dober društven odbor, pač pa tudi, da smo pripravljeni sami prevzeti, ako nas kdo nominira ter pe pustiti voliti, ako nas društvo hoče za svojega urednika ali odbornika. Preveč pogosto se zaidnja leta dogaja, da je imenovan dobtt) sposoben član za kak društven urad, pa ne mara sprejeti norotoeeije in to ni prav!

Ruski zunanji minister Molotov je ponovno napadel zapad ne sile v svojem govoru, Deja je, da je Sovjetska unije edina branilka Nemčije proti imperis lističnim zapadnim državam, ki jo hočejo spremeniti v kolonijo. Nekaj sporazumov Je bilo doseženih na včersjšnjl seji glede procedure v sestavljanju mirovne pogodbe za Nemčijo ln Avstrijo, toda temeljna vprašanja ■o ostala nedotsknjene. Eden sporazum določa, da zunanji ministri sestavijo vsebino mirovne pogodbe za obe državi. Pogodba naj bi bila predložene v ratifikacijo vsem zavezniškim državam, ki se bodo udeležile mirovne konferenco. Zunanji ministri so Imeli šest sej po otvoritvi konfeience, toda so ie daleč narazen. Značil New York. 2. dec.—Evropski znanstveniki so v večjem obsegu za sklenitev kompromisov o svetovni kontroli atomske energije nego ameriški znanstvenici. Večinska glasovanja o tem vprašanju na sejah Združenih narodov so bila včasih zavajalna zaradi ameriškega ekonomskega vpliva. Člani komisiie Združenih narodov za atomsko energijo bodo obnovili diskuzije o svetovni kontroli. Kaj mislijo evropski znanstveniki o kontroli, je po-asnil Robert E. Marshak, profesor fizike na univerzi v Rochester Ju. On se Je nedavno vrnil v Ameriko iz Evrope, kjer je mudil dva tedna ln Imel razgovore s znanstveniki. Marshak je dejal, da evropski znanstveniki zavzemajo stališču, da imajo Rusi argumente za ne zaupanje v namene Amerike. Vrženje prve atomske bombe na japonsko mesto dva dni pred rusko napovedjo vojne Japonski Je bilo svarilo Sovjetski uniji, ds ne bo igrala važne vloge v zadevah Azije v povojni dobi. Rusija ne pripisuje tako veli ke važnosti atomski bombi kot Jo Američani. Ona Je utrpela ogromno škodo v vojnem času ln se zaveda, da so bombe, ki so bile vržene na Nemčijo, pred stavljele Isto tonežo kot 50 a-tomskih bomb mesečno. Poljska tudi ni pozabila na kpncen t rac i J »k a taborišča, v kadrih Je bilo milijone ljudi poklanlh. Evropski memtyenlki vidijo varnost Rusije ojafiano, ker Amerika nima informacij ln po datkov o ruskih industrijskih podjetjih ln orožju. Sovjetaka unija bo pristala na Inšpekcijo le v slučaju, ako bo dobila zadovoljive koncesije od Amerike glede izdelovanja atomskih bomb. Evropski znanstveniki ne verjamejo, da Je ameriška preventivna vojna Izhod ln da bi atomske bombe porazile ln zdrobile Rusijo. TRUMAN ODREDIL PREISKAVO SLUČAJEV UPOKOJENIH ČASTNIKOV Washington. D.

Matt Tušek iz Power Points, 0.< sprožil vprašanje dvojezičnega, glasila. In sicer je sprožil to vprašanje iz razloga, ker se mu nekateri tu rojeni člani upirsjo in srednje Prosvete sploh ne marajo vsled njenega slovenskega dels. Z drugo besedo: sramujejo se "fornerskega" lista, ie bolj pa tega, da bi jih kdo ne videl s takim listom v rokah . . . Zato on priporoča, da bi angleški del glsaiis tiskali in pošiljali separatno. • O istem vprašanju piše v današnji izdaji Prosvete v imenu društva 344 tudi Leo Milostnik iz Sheboygsns. Njihova kritika je bolj podrobna, priporočilo pa slično kot brata Tušks: izdajanje dveh separatnih glasil, za starejše članstvo v slovenščini, za tu rojeno pa v angleščini. * Ker se slovenske sekcije tiče, naj odkrito povemo, da tudi nam ne ugaja. Toda brez reforme je ne bo mogoče izboljšati, pa nsj izhsja v sedanji formi ali pa separatno. Dokler bomb razpoložljivi prostor porabili za komercialne in mrtvaške oglase in za poročila o izplsčsni bolniški podpori, kar skupaj navadno vzame eno stran ali še več, toliko časa bo članstvo prikrajšano'ns vzgojnem in informativnem čtivu. Na razpolsgo imsmo le štiri strsni in če . 25 do 40 odstotkov tegs prostora napolnimo z oglasi in suhopsmimi finančnimi poročili, katerih priobčavanje zakon specifično ne zahteva od nas, naravno nimamo prostora zs drug material vzgojne in kulturne vsebine. * Vsš urednik je stoodstotno za to, da iz glssils izostanejo vsi oglssi, komercialni kot mrtvaški, kakor tudi za čim večjo skrčenje tskih ursdnih poročil kot so izplsčils bolniških podpor, lahko tudi suspendiranih in črtanih članov. Kadar je član suspendiran ali črtan vsled neplačanega asesmenta, bi najbrže več zaleglo, ako bi ga društveni tajnik informiral pismeno. Pismo (s formami lahko tajnike preskrbi glavni urad) bo tak član skoraj ¿otovo čital, medtem ko Prtisvete mords niti ne pogleda, še martj pa suhoparnih uradnih poročil., Nekatera uradna poročila moramo v smislu zakona seveda priobčiti. To so predvsem "Valuation report" in poročila o finančnem stanju jednote. Z agitacijskega stališča je potrebno, ds tudi priobčavamo imena novih članov in podobno. Za agitacijo bi bilo morda dobro tudi to, da bi priobčavali kondensirana mesečna poročila o izplačilih bolniške in drugih podpor po državah. To bi vzelo veliko manj prostore kot pa sedanja (letajlirana poročila o bolniških podporah in podobnem. Tudi bolniškemu tajniku bi bilo olajšano delo. Kar se tiče oglasov, naj gredo v dnevnik. V sredni Prosveti nsj bi bil prostor le za oglase društev ali drugih organizacij, ki žele oglašati veselice ali kulturne priredbe. Ako hočemo izboljšati slovenski del glasila, je ta reforma absolutno potrebna Na eni strani naj se omeje suhoparna uradna poročila, "ki razen prizadetih ne zanimajo nikogar," kakor pravi br. Milostnik, na drugi strani pa naj se omeji oglašanje v glasilu le na društvene in kulturne priredbe. Teh oglasov je seveda tnalo. * * . Druga stvar je dopisniško oglašanje veselic in kulturnih priredb društevin jednoli naklonjenih kulturnih organizacij. Prav tako tudi glede vabil na društvene teje*. Tukaj pa ne smemo nobenemu društvu kratiti pravice in naša dolžnost Je, da gremo na roko tudi raznim kulturnim in kulturno-polltičnim naprednim organizacijam, kot so na primer pevski zbori, dramska društva, SANS, Progresivne Slovenke In podobno. V resnici je želeti, da bi imeli več kulturnih organizacij, predvsem pevskih in dramskih. 7m\, ker smo zadnja leta tudi na tem polju začeli vse pre več hirati. Naj si o društvenih vabilih na veselice, »eje ali kulturne priredbe misli kdor koli kar hoče, je dolžnost uredništva, da jim gremo na roko. To nam nalagajo tudi pravila. Prav tako pravila dajejo pravico vsakemu društvu, pa naj šteje asmo 15 ali pa 500 članov, da ae lahko poslužuje glsaUs za svoje potrebe. Kadar ima društvo veselico, piknik ali kako večjo proslavo, Je v njegovem interesu kot tudi v interesu jednote, da člani ln uradniki poakrbe, da je priredba Čim bolj uspešna. Vsakdo pa ve, da brez oglašanja ne more nihče računati na uspeh. Da bi društva z nekakim moralnim pritiskom prisilili, da bi se omejila na oglaševanje tvojih priredb le ni en kratek dopis, bi s tem le škodovali samemu sebi—društvom ln jednotl. Priporočljivo Je seveda da ao taka vabila Jedrnata, privlačna ln po možnosti kratka in variantna. Slično tudi glede drugih kulturnih organi-zatij. Z omejitvijo dopitniškega oglaševanja priredb v Prosveti bi ne dosegli drugega kot le ubili aktivna društva Je bolje, da smo malo potrpežljivi in se postavimo na staliJče aktivnih dru-itev, ki oglašajo tvoje priredbe Iz razloga, ker al žele uspeha In to si želi van ko društvo, kadar ima kakšno priredbo Slično je tudi glede vabil na društvene seje Pomniti moremo, da je Proeveta ne aamo glaailo jednote. marveč glasilo slehernega društva, Vaš sedanil urednik te na primer ne strinja z idejo, da v Prosveti ne hi smelo biti prostora za vabila na društvene seje Ta vabila so številna «lino v te) aeronl, ko ao na dnevnem redu letne tete Mi na društva ne bomo vlivali curka mrsle vode. potrebno pa je, da ao ta vabila čim kratia—le opomin članstvu Strinjamo pa sg, da je ustmena in plamena agitacija bolj učinkovita Uttmena agitacija je mogoča v manjših našel binsh, kjer so člani tako rekoč *o*ed|e. Za več-ja društva pa Je potrebno, da vabilo v glasilu, posebno tam. k»er je članstvo rsz-treaeno.

RAZNOTEROSTI PRI DRUŠTVU S3 SNPJ Cleveland, O,—Zadnja veselica društva V boj 53 SNPJ, katera se je vršila 0. nov., je za nami. Bila bi lahko uspešnejša z ozirom ns številno članstvo ns-šega druitva. Nekaj članov je kritizirslo, da je bil glavni vzrok msjhne udeležbe godbe. Mords ni ugajala nekaterim mladim, toda jsz smatram, da ni bilo dovolj članske zavednosti. Starejše člane je težko dobiti na veselice, ampak na društvene priredbe bi lahko prišli in kramljali nekaj ur med seboj. Na zadnji seji smo sklenili, da bomo imeli po dolgih letih vrtno veselico prihodnje poletje, in sicer tretjo nedeljo v juliju na izletniški farmi SNPJ. Nas podpredsednik John Šorc je že najel prostor za tisto nedeljo. Torej upamo, da se bo članstvo odzvalo tskrst in pohitelo na fsrmo SNPJ. Zadnje csle imamo precej članov na bolniški listi, kar je znamenje, da se društvo stara. V bolnišnicah imamo sledeče: John Gor j up, ki se zdravi že več mesecev; mož je že percej star. Mary Miklučič je že nekaj me secev v bolnišnici. George Ber-goč se je tudi nahajal nekaj dni v bolnišnici. Pod zdravniško oskrbo na domu pa so: V|nko Starman, naš blagajnik, ki boleha že več mesecev za srčno napako. Edward Dejak je bolan že precej časa, dasiravno je mlad član. Joseph Kren (Hren?) je tudi bil v bolnišnici, sedaj pa se zdravi doma. Naš stori pionir Joe Kunčič je tudi onemogel vsled starosti. Prosil me je, da bi ga člani obiskali, ker rad malo pokramlja in vzbuja spomine iz preteklosti. Frsnk Hay-ny, bivši tajnik, je pod zdravniško oskrbo že nekaj tednov; doma bo moral ostati še nekaj tednov, prodno bo sposoben za delo' Br. Brehčič^a ima težko delo pri tukajšnji železniški družbi NYCRR, zato ni čudno da se človek izčrpa. Upamo, da bo Tone ozdravil do naše letne seje. Louis Bartelj je doma že več tednov, zadnje čase pa je V postelji, ker ga je prijela lahka pljučnica. J. Dodic se je moral podvreči operaciji, katera je bila več sli manj težka; sedaj se zdravi doma. Helen Sirca, ki je pristopila k društvu to leto, je tudi zbolela. Torej bolezen tudi mladim ne prizansša, zato je važno, da se tudi mladi zavarujejo za bolniško podporo. Louis Dugsr še tudi ni zdrav in je še vedno pod zdravniško oskrbo. Bolan je že dlje kot leto dni in zdrsvje se mu vrsča zelo počasi. Zbolel je tudi člsn John Kras-ns. Bivši vojsk Frsnk Mihevc pa se nahaja v veteranski bolnišnici pri Chilicotiju, O. Vsem bolnikom želimo skorsjšnjegs okrevanja. Želim, ds jih člani obttoej« ob priliki, kajti prijateljski obisk je bolniku v olajšanje. Kegljači našega* društva pravijo, da se zadnje čase prav dobro drže, dasiravno od časa do casa koga manjka. Kegljajo s clevelandsko ligo društev SNPJ, in sicer vsako nedeljo na kegljišču na 185. cesti. Ne vem, zakaj ne igrajo vsa ta kegljaSka moštva v Slovenskem delavskem domu na Waterloo rd.? NaŠ dom je na zadružni podla gi, d oči m je omenjeno kegljišče privatno podjetje. Upamo, da bodo prihodnje leto igrali v Slov. del. domu na Waterloo rd. Ns novemberski seji smo «prejeli tri nove člane, za de-cembersko pa jih bomo Ifaeli zopet tri. Torej kampania gor ali dol, pri nas vedno stremimo po napredku in gledsmo. da nadomeščamo vrzeli s novimi čla-nk In to Je potrebno pri vsakem starem društvu, v katerega vrstah te smrt pogoetoma o-glašo. V tem letu smo izgubili osem članov, katere Je treba nadomestiti z novimi. Tu in tam pa irdomo kakšen prestopni list. kar Je tudi izgube za društvo. Torej, Če hočemo obdržati društvo na primerni višini, moramo imeti stalen dotok v članstvu Ako dobra volja, se ie vedno dobi ks) članov, kajti polje ie ni ivtrpeno. kot hočejo nekateri dopovedati. , Pripeljite kakšnega novega člana na na¿o letno sejo. Letna seja se bo vršila 14. dec. Letne seje so že od nekdaj važne, kajti na sporedu je splošen pregled društva, razni novi zaključki in volitev novega odbora. Seje malone vseh naših društev so slabo post ¿a ne med letom. Vzroki so različni: starost pri slovensko poslujočih društvih, brezbrižnost do aktivnega društvenega življenja itd., itd. Na naših letnih sejah pa bi morala biti večja udeležba! Članstvo bi ie moralo zavedati svoje dolžnosti, kooperirati z odborniki in pomagati s svojim nasvetom utrjevati fraternali-zem. Vsi tisti, ki prihajamo redno ns seje med letpm, pričakujemo, da se boste ostali odzvali in gotovo prišli na letne sejo 14. doc., začetek ob devetih dopoldne v SDD no Water-loo rd. Dne 24. nov. smo tajniki pobirali asesment, potem pa smo razpravljali jned seboj, kako so postali člani brezbrižni glede plačevanja asesmenta, namreč da pridejo plačat asesment kadar koli se jim zljubi in sfcloh nimajo smisla za sodelovanje z tajnikom, kakor da bi bil tajnik vedno na razpolago, da vzame asesment od člana. Članstvo bi moralo vsekakor bolj sodelovati s tajnikom. O nedisciplini članstva so se (»osebno pritoževali tajniki, ki pobirajo asesment tudi na svojih domovih. Včasih nimajo niti prilike, da bi v miru po večerjali, v deževnih dnevih in zimskih pa pridejo člani v stanovanje z umazanami čevlji itd. Tajnini so izrazili mnenje, da bi so moralo odpraviti izredno pobiranje ssesments po naših domovih in ssesment se naj bi pobiral samo na sejah, na kater rih bi bilo t£cba dati članstvu dovolj časa fa plačevanje. $ tem bi tudi dosegli, da bi imeli večjo udeležbo na naših sejah. Pa ne samo to: Vedno je tudi nevarnost, da bo napaden tajnik. Takih slučajev smo imeli že veliko. V SDD in v drugih naših domovih .tajniki kolektajo asesment na 24. in 25. v mesecu. V dvorani je 15 tajnikov ali celo več, po pobiranju asesmenta pa se razidemo v temno noč vsak na svoj dom. Sleherni tajnik, ki rnese denar, je v skrbeh, fylaj bo prišel za njim ropar in ga lopnil po glavi ter pobral denar. Naša pravica $o v tem oziru pomanjkljiva,«o določajo, da se lahko asesment plača na društveni seji ali pa na poseben določen dan v mesecu. Naše mnenje je, da se,ne bi smel ases-ment drugače pobirali kot ns društvenih sejah, kakor se je to p! akticiralo v pionirski dobi naših'organizacij Vsa druga pla ¿Vranja se naj bi odpravila. Z uvedbo takega sistema, bi bile tudi naše sejeibolj posečane kot so sedaj, zaefko pa bi olSjitli delo našim tajnikom, katere je z vsakim letom teže dobiti, kakor tudi ost4W odbornike, ko vidijo, ds člairirtvo ne zahsjs ns aeje. O temTibi »e dalo veliko pisati in mogočo pridem v javnost izključno o tem problemu. 4 Za dsnes nsj ssdostuje. Upsm. da se vidimo na letni seji 14. dec. v velikem številu. Udeležite se vsi! J. F.

Kar se pa NAP>REDNE SLOVENKE Sheboygan, Wis. — Društvo i tiče sej, je laže sklepati in re- ------- Združeni Slovenci št. 344 SNPJ je razmotrivalo na svoji redni seji o jednotinem dvojezičnem glasilu. Članstvo je mnenja, da tako glauld kot je danes, ni privlačno ne za staro in ne za mlajšo generacijo, travno tako ne za naiočnike nečlane. * Slovenska ¿ekcija nam/ iz-vzemši prve strani ne prinaša ničesar, kar bi človek mogel .matrati za duševno vzgojo, ker ✓ nji ni ne informativnega ne 2robraieva'nega ne leposlovnega čitva. Vse, kar nam prinaša, ,o naznanila in zahvale za umr-imi, vabila na veselice in seje n pa nakazane bolniške podpo-e, kar pa. izvzemši prizadetih, tikogar ne zanima. Zaman pa šces dobrih, stvarnih, agitator-učnih, informativnih in vzpod-oujajočih člankov v prid SNPJ, eemur^bi glasilo v prvi vrsti imelo služiti. Nekoč je bivši urednik Molek zapisal: Dolga vabila na veselice in seje bi morala iz glasila- Mi se s |em strinjamo Čemu društva, ki štejejo 15 do 20 članov, vabijo na dolgo in široko v glasilu svoje članstvo na sejo, ko pa tajnik lahko povabi ustmeno ali pismeno svoje člane z malim trudom in stroški? Čemu se toliko oglaša ta ali ona prireditev po dva krat in trikrat, katere pa se udeleži nekaj , ducatov ljudi? Seveda so v tem. izjeme velike naselbine kot so Cleve-l&nd, Cl^icago in druge, ter večje slavnosti, kot na primer dan SNPJ in slične priredbe, na katere se pričakujejo tudi zunanji gosti. Kar se tiče an gleške sekcije, pa za staro generacijo nima nobenega pomena, kakor nima nobenega pomena slovenska sekcija za tu rojeno mladino. Znano in do-gnano je, da velika večina člal nov angleško poslujočih djrušte ševati društvene in jednotine zadeve, ako je navzočih veliko članov in Članic. Torej na svidenje 7. decembra na seji in veselici. Marlon Baahel. nov angleško poslujočih djrustev ¿ m J ' • ~ J . «Ml» ffloítáíha-zawíír tómb' f***''5' dee; v Sipkem *»■ lavskem centru. Seja bo vaz- iz razloga, ker je to ".Slovenian paper", katerega on ne razume, ne glede na to, da je angleška sekcija v njem. Članstvo gori imenovanega društva je iz tega razloga prepričano, da bi glasilo imelo veliko večji uspeh in efekt pri stari kot pri mladi generaciji, če bi se članom slovensko poslujočih društev pošiljalo, samo slovenski del glasila, članom angleško poslujočih društev pa sa mo angleško sekcijo. Mogoče bo kdo rekel: Jaz plačam drago oglas zato, ¿a ga čitajo vsi. Drugi zopet: Mi vabimo na veselico stare in mlade. To je sicer resnica. Toda, kot omenjeno, mladina enostavno list zavrže in s tVm zavrže tudi vaš oglas in vabilo. Kaj pravite drugi? Za društvo 344 SNPJ: L. Milostnik. tajnik. PLESNA VESELICA IN LETNA SEJA Cleveland, O—Zopet je prišel mesec december, katerega ne sme prezreti noben član ali članica, kajti v tem mesecu volimo nov društveni odbor. Društvo Združeni bratje 26 SNPJ bo imelo sejo 7. dec. in dolžnost vsega članstva, da se je gotovo udeleži. Da ne bo mogel kdo oporekati, da se ne more udeležiti se je, ker se prične zjutraj ob devetih. smo za decern bersko sejo osvojili sklep še na lanski letni seji, da se letošnja glavna seja prične ob dveh popoldne, po se|i bo pa članska zabava. Kakor vsako leto. tako bomo tudi letos po domači zabavi nadaljevali s plesno veselico v zgornji dvorani Slovenskega delavskega doma na Waterloo rd. Za ples bodo igrali izvrstni Stru-klovi godci, kateri so že precej poznani med mladino. Igrajo slovenske polke in valčke, ka kor tudi angleške komade, tsko da se bomo lahko vsi vrteli. Vstopnina za člane in članice je 50c. za nečlane pa 75c. Marti kdo bo rekel, ko bo čital te vrstice, češ. kaj bi hodil ns veselico ali na sejo. saj bo do drugI brez mene lahko naredili.

PUanje v času belini je menda dovoljeno. ^ Napredne Slovenke bodo ime-le svojo letno sejo 4. dec N,;, članice so vse zavedne in napredne žene, zato vabim, da * vse udeleže letne seje, na kateri se bo volil odbor za prihodnje leto. Na dnevnem redu bodo tu-di razni drugi sklepi, ki bodo veljavni za 1. 1948. Naše društvo je imelo vedno dober in delaven odbor. Tudi članice, ki so aktivne skozi leto in se redno udeležujejo sej, so na letni seji vedno pripravljene sprejeti v razne druge odbore. Sploh so naše žene in dekleta izredno pridne in so vedno pri-pravljene pomagati, naj si bo kjerkoli, posebno kadar gre za koristi društva in jednote. Prepričana sem, da boste tudi za prihodnje leto .izvolile naj-boljši odbor ter sprejele najbolj-še zaključke v korist društva in jednote. Tudi naše uradnice so bile jako pridne. Sestra tajnica S. Zakrajšek in blagajničarka J Tratnik sta pridobili precej novih članov v tem letu. Podpisana pa ni letos pridobila nobenega, to pa je zakrivila moja bolezen, ki me je vzela vso energijo. še sanjalo se mi ni, da bi tako resno zbolela. Sedaj pa sem že na potu okrevanja in upam, da se popolnoma pozdravim do novega leta, toda glavne seje se še ne bom mogla udeležiti, upam pa, da se vidimo na januarski. Sedaj pa naj še omenim našo veselico. Napredne Slovenke priredimo veselico vs«ko leto na prvo soboto v januarju. To prakticiramo že 20 let ali več. Kakor vsako leto, tako je tudi letos sklenilo društvo, da mora vsaka članica kupiti vstopnico Ker morda ni ta sklep znan vsem članicam, ga pojasnim tukaj. Pri našem društvu plačujemo samo 14c v društveno blagajno za upravne stroške, dočim pri mnogih drugih društvih plačujejo po 25c. Upam, da boste vse razumele, zakaj je treba plačati za vstopnice za veselico, katere lahko same porabite, ali pa date svojim hčeram ali sinovom ------ ---------- ---- j- — i To malenkostno vsoto si lahko stara navada, da se veselice ude-1 prihnmfte kje drugje.

V nekaterih okrožjih se članstvo tega zaveda in je pridružilo svoja društva federacijam, v drugih okrožjih društva ne vidijo te potrebe, kar je zmotno, kajti čim večja je skupina društev, ki tvori federacijo, boljši so uspehi. V čikaškem okrožju so še nekatera društva, ki se do zdaj še niso pridružila federaciji. Apeliram na ta društva, da se na decembrski seji odločijo za pristop. Da je federacija potrebna, ni potrebno poudarjati. Že samo božična priredba federacije je velika reklama za jednoto. To priredbo prirejamo vsako leto. Letošnja božična priredba se bo vršila v nedeljo popoldne, 14. dec. v dvorani SNPJ. Vodstvo programa je prevzela sestra Ann Sannemann, voditeljica krožka 26, ki bo proizvajal ves program. Odbor za nakup daril je poročal na zadnji seji, da je nabavil skoro 800 daril, s katerimi bo Miklavž obdaril člane mladinskega oddelka. - Zato apeliram na starše, ki imajo otroke v mladinskem oddelku onih društev, ki sodelujejo v tej priredbi, da jih omenjeno nedeljo pripeljejo v dvorano. Za odrasle je vstopnina 50c, za otroke pod 18 letom pa je prosta. Člane in članice podružnice št. 25 SANS opozarjam na prihodnjo sejo, ki se bo vršila v na, kakor tudi volitve odbora za prihodnje leto. Frank Aleeh, tajnik.

IZ 2APADNE METROPOLE Puablo, 'Colorado. — Dne 16. nov. smo imeli prireditev v prid stari domovini. Uspeh je bil na vse strani. Dvorana je bila napolnjena pri obeh prireditvah ob 3. uri popoldne, kakor tudi ob 8. uri zve&r ," Pri popoldanskem programu je občinstvo pozdravil John Sto-nich, nakar je zapelo vse osebje na odru "God Bless America". Za tem sta flRiiici ml. oddelka društva Orel Joanne Komorriic in Nancy Zupančič podali sliko "'Fake Ventriloquist and Dummy" zelo dobro, nakar sta se vrnili na oder, kjer je Nancy o-čarljivo lepo zapela "Night and Day", Joanne Jo je pa sprem-ljaia na tflasovir. Obe se vadita v teh dveh umetnostih in obe obetati lepo prihodnjost; posebno Nancin nastop je nekaj izrednega. Nato so nastopile štiri hčerke Josipa Kralla: Angela, Frances, TUlie in Ann in zapele tako le-P9: "Nebo je čisto jasno", "Na levo, na desno", "Od kod si dekle ti doma" In "Whifsen poof song", da bi jih občinstvo lahko poslušalo do zjutraj. Spremljala jih je na glasovir Rose Ma-stroantonio. >> • Nato je mala hčerka Franka Mesojedeca pokazala svojo u-metnost na glasovirju v "Rustic dance". Za tem sta nastopila brata Mesojedec, Frank in John, spremljevala ju je na glasovir Erma Jean, Frankova hčerka, in zapela sta "Goreči ogenj brez plamena" in "Oj, kod bova van-drala". Da sta dobra pevca, vemo že od poprej in občinstvo je vselej hvaležno, kadar nastopita, ker kaj je lepšega za naše Slovence v Ameriki kot je slovenska pesem! ; Prvi dve deklici sta bili oblečeni v fantovski obleki, vsi drugi v narodni noši, vključivši malo Ermo Jean. Kraljeve hčerke so se potrudile, da so imele vse štiri rdeče "kiklje", bile jopice in črne mo-derčke. Zelo lepo! Na koncu programa so ae vsi vrnili na oder in zapeli "Hej Slovenci". Za tem smo '„prisostvovali no-slikam iz starte domovine, ki so zelo izobraževalne. Ko bi li mi, ko smo bili še v domovini, imeli toliko prilike vaditi se v telovadbi, kot jo ima naša mladina sedaj v Jugoslaviji, bi bili vse lepši ljudje kot smo. Najbolj nas je zanimal tretji del slik, ostudno ravnanje Rupniko-vo in njegovih pristašev, ko so ie ponižali tako globoko, da so .zražali pzdrav Nemcem z "Heil Hitler". Seveda, človek bi raje videl, da ne vidi tistih groznih prizorov, kako so mučili one, ki uO se jim zoperstavljali, ampak radovednost je tako velika, da o£i kar same buljijo na platno. Če je še kakšen Slovenec v Ameriki, da ne verjame, da so se godila v stari dpmovini grozodejstva, ki daleč prekašajo rimljansko zgodovino pod cesarjem Neronom, mu ni pomoči, potem ko je vifiel te slike, 1er nikdo se ne more izmisliti, kar je slikano in Rupnik sam govori na sliki, da Nemčija je edina katera je zmožna rešiti Jugosla vi j o. Po slikah smo se razšli na svoje domove in veliko nas je bilo, ki smo se zopet vrnili zve-ôer nazaj. * Ob. 8. uri so bile naj prvo sli-ke, pred katerimi je zopet pozdravil napolnjeno dvorano John Stonich, po slikah so nas pa hrvatski tamburasi, Yengi-chevi bratje in Mike Mandarich, zabavali s petjem in godbo. Z njimi je pela tudi Vilma Re-lich, katera je dobra pevka. Ker je obiskala oba programa po večini starejša generacija, se pri plesu ni plesalo preveč, ampak prepevalo v mali dvorani, kjer stoj iv "bara", da vem. da jp bilo mariikatero grlo hripavo drugn jutro. Imeli smo veliko zunanjih obiskovalcev, največ seveda iz Walsenburga. Edward Tomsic. Blas Strovas in njegova sina bo se potrudili, da so prodali tam čez 50 vstopnic.

Vsaka priredba je zvezana z velikimi težavami in požrtvovalnostjo, to ve vsak kdor je aktiven pri društvih ali pa pri drugih organizacijah. Ko je še stvar v povoju, se nekje globoko v srcu pojavi misel, zakaj neki imam zopet prste vmes? Ko se stvar razvija, pride glasno iz grla, samo še sedaj in nikoli več. Zato pa vsi tisti, ki so pripomogli k uspehu, zaslužijo še toliko večje priznanje. In ti so: John Stonich, Frank Pechnik, Ludwig Yoxey, Kattie in Mark Vivoda,, Joe Krall, Tončka Klun, Mary Kogovsek, Agnes Knafelc, Frank Mutz, Tone Kochevar, Frank Rupar in Josephine Stupnik. Mogoče še kdo, pa se ga ravno sedaj-le ne spomnim. ^ Zraven so še tudi vedno aktivni: Frank Stark, Steve Sajn, Tone Medved, Frank Smerajc, Jack in Mary Dolgan. Vsi ti vedno prisegamo, samo še sedaj in kaj dosežemo s tem? Ko se ideja sproži, smo že na mestu, za to ali ono stvar. Lotimb se dela še z večjo vnemo, ker imamo več izkušenj, čeprav je vse polno zaprek, gre na dan prireditve kot po olju in zato menda zopet začnemo in ne verjamem da je kje zdiavilo proti tej bolezni. « Dne 19. nov. je umrl John Orazem, rojen v vasi Rapljevo, fara Struge pri Dobrepoljah, po domače Poljanec, ob smrti star 77 let. Zapušča ženo Anno, hčer Edith in dva sina. Spadal je k KSK J. Isti dan je umrl Joseph Jugo, rodom Primorec, v starem kraju zapušča družino. Spadal je h tukajšnjem samostojnem društvu Pomoč. Poročila sta se Joe- Hochevar in Mary Korošec. Joe je sin JožeUHn Mary Hotftev**1 ša članica Lucille Ercul se je pa poročila z Josephom Je-sickom. Obilo sreče! Anton Jankovich je dopisnikom posvetil del svojega dopi* sa. Tako je prav! Spodbuda je dobra stvar ni največkrat rodi sadove. V nedeljo, dne 7. dec., ob 2. uri popoldne bo glavna letna seja v Narodnem domu. Vsaj enkrat v letu' se snidimo vsi skupaj, seveda tisti, ki delajo takrat, so izvzeti, in razrešimo stvari, ki so v prid članstva društva Orel. Volil se bo odbor za 1. 1948. Torej vsi v dvorano dne 7. dec., namreč tisti, ki spadajo k društvu Orel št. 21 SNPJ. Roae RadoVlch. ODMEV NA KRITIKO IN LETNA SEJA New York, N. Y.—Obveščam vse članstvo društva Slovenija 56 SNPJ, da se bo vršila letna seja v soboto, 13. dec. t. 1. Seja se bo vršila v naših društvenih prostorih Yugoslav Home, 405 W. 41st st„ New York. Začetek ob 8. uri zvečer. Na dnevnem redu bo več važnih točk, najvažnejša pa je volitev društvenega odbora za leto 1948. Kot vsako leto, tako mislim, da bom tudi letos imel itenske koledarje za razdelitev ¡med članstvo. Dolžnost vsakega zavednega člana ali članice je, da se gotovo udeleži te seje. Izvzeti so seveda bolni ali za posleni. člani. Obveščam tudi vse tiste člane in članice, kateri se ne udeležujejo redno društvenih sej. da je bil na seji meseca oktobra sprejet sklep, da se obdavči vsakega člana 50 centov v korist društvene blagajne. Ta izredna članarina mora biti plačana skupaj z društveno članarino do konca tega leta Vzrok izredne članarine so veliki izredni stroški, kstere je imelo društvo v tem letu z umrlimi člani. Izgubili smo v tem letu tri člane in dve članici. Dne 12. januarja te umrla mlada članica Stella I^ekovich. Stara je bila komaj 23 let. Prestopila je k nam od društva 204. Luzerne, Pa " Dne 26. marca je umrla članica Louisa Makše Pristopils j je v jednoto meseca marca 1922 ' Bolehala je nad pet let na kost-'nem revmatizmu (arthritis)' in za srčno napako. Bila je zelo aktivna pri društvu, predno jo je bolezen vrgla na postelj. Dne 23. avgusta je umrf John Kobajich. Pristopil je v jednoto v marcu 1928. Bil je bolj tihega značaja in se redko kdaj udeležil seje. Oviralo ga je njegovo delo. Dne 5. septembra je umrl član Anton Makše. Bil je star pijo-nir jednote. V jednoto je pristopil meseca julija 1913, če se ne motim v Johnstownu, Pa. K nam je prestopil leta 1922 s prestopnim listom od društva 29, Thomas, W. Va. Kot njegova pokojna žena, tako se je tudi on zelo zanimal za društvo in jednoto. t Dne 3. oktobra pa je umrl član Jože Reck, trda štajerska korenina. Pristopil je v jednoto meseca aprila 1930. Vsi ti so bili dobri člani jednote, katere bo težko, ali pa sploh nemogoče nadomestiti. Lahka naj jim bo tuja zemlja! Od vseh» se je društvo na primeren pa-čin poslovilo in jim izkazale zadnjo čast s primernim govo rom in poklonitvijo venca v spomin. Sestra Agnes Pasarich se je v dopisu v Prosveti precej kriti čno izrazila v zadevi pogreba pokojnega Anton Makšeta, namreč da društvo zelo slabo vrš: svojo bratsko dolžnost do umrlih članov. Ona in njen mož sta se udeležila pogreba in*sa mo dve članici društva Slove nije. Ni moj namen, da bi se spu ščal v debato z njo v tej ali ka teri drugi zadevi, vendar se m vidi umestno, da pojasnim zadevo tako kot je bila v resnici Kot prej omenjeno, je ženi pokojnega Anton Makšeta bo lehala nad pet let, a v tem časi jo je njena prijateljica Agnes» obiskala samo enkrat! Tudi na pogreb ni prišla, vkljub temu da sta bili s pokojnico prijateljici še v Thomasu, W. Va. Pokojna se je podpisanemu večkrat bridko pritoževala, da so jo pozabili vsi prijatelji in da edina, katera jo pride tfcasih obiskat, je mrs. Fahlstrom, roj. Mary Urbas. Mislim, da bi bila tudi mrs. Pasarich lahko večkrat obiskala svojo prijateljico, če ji je v resnici na tem, da vrši bratsko ljubezen. Društvo je obema izkazalo zadnjo čast ob mrtvaškem odru, društvo pa ne more nikogar siliti, da izgubi dan dela, samo da se udeleži pogreba. Tudi se pogreb smatra za pcivatno Zadevo na vzhodu, posebno če je verskega značaja. Konstatirati moram tudi dejstvo, da članstvo našega društva živi razkropljeno v sedmih okrajih držav New York in New Jersey. Imamo člana, kateri živi v Pattersonu, N. J., in enega v Ashlandu, Ky. Upam, da bo sestra Pasarich s tem pojasnilom zadovoljna. Kadar gre za bratsko ljubezen, naj bo ta y srcu in ne na jeziku. Moje skromno mnenje je tudi, da ni najbolj bratsko, kritizirati sosednje društvo brez vzroka po časopisju. Anton Cvetkovich. SREDA, 3. DECEMBRA 1947 KONCERT PEVSKEGA ZBORA SLOVANA Cleveland.

The latest "gossip" around these parts is that brand new, shiny, ireen '47 Kaiser belonging to Martin Habich. It's really a swell car and worth saying "That's mine" »bout.

Lotrick CHICAGO.—Oftentimes, we have questioned the value of athletics in an organization and oftentimes, some of us have got into conflict with tho^e who are sportsminded about how much athletics bring to an organization. We have always contended that athletics were one of those necessary activities which we had to assume. First, athletics do give our members an opportunity to be active for the lodge. The members do not necessarily have to have the interest of the Lodge at heart. Many, however, do become familiar with our work and sympathetic to it. Secondly, it gives the Lodge some sort of a semblance of organized activity and because of this fact, we do obtain some publicity and new members. This year's Pioneer Bowling League has been responsible for the initiation of at least eight now Pioneers. It is possible that this may be increased to an even dozen before the season is over. We do want these people to familiarize themselves with the work of the Pioneers and become good friends and in this way make bowling return at least, an installment on the investment. • • ♦ All who can should attend the meeting at the SNPJ Hall this Thursday, Dec. 4, at 8 p. m. to organize a 22nd Ward Chapter of the Progressive Citizens. We would like to have a strong unit so that we can promote the aims and policies of the Progressive Party and a possible third party candidate in the 1948 presidential election. • • • Joseph Fifolt'a date book which enables a person to jot down important dates and events, birthdays and holidays "has been received.

We hope they will get back into the harness now and help us carry , on our varioijsl duties.—The Podpechans, including Marie Strauss and Louise Haitwu-ger have gone to Detroit for Thanksgiving. They report having an enjoyable trtp.—The "Critics' prize play of 1947" is entitled "All My Sons" and is now playing at the Erlangef Treater in Chicago. It is considered a very good antidote to the daily war hysteria and propaganda and does involve social problems. It tries to point out why we have wars, what the rich men do in wars and how people should organize to prevent wars. All who can should see the play. The theater is located in the heart of the loop. • • • This Friday, Dec. 5. Dr. Gerhart Schacher will lecture at the Toman Library, 27th and Pulaski. Dr. Schacher is one of 'he foremost commentators on European affairs.

This will be an important meeting for at this time we elect the officers for the 1948 If you members listened to the speech made by Michael Kumer of Universal on the Slovenian program Nov. 23. you have heard the Importance of attending the* meetings As stated. "the secret of s successful orgsniration depends largely upon the officers of the club." If you have an officer interested in the organiration. he will do everything to ha"e socisl affairs to keep the member» interested in the orgsnization.

There isn't any question but that they have a lot of good ideas, that the proper organization of engineers, scientists and experts can . bring about such an era. but in a modern democracy they must do it through political channels or acquire the means of production and distribution to carry out their program by economic process. This they are unable to do. They can be a useful asset to any progressive movement which ha* for its goal the aim to serve the common people. • • • Some horrid politics are being played by the peopl£ with power. Right now, the fate of Germany is being discussed. American big business wants to free all the Nazis and restore them to power in industry. Even the American military mdn seek such a move. If we haven't gone through the sad experiences since 1933 and had seen how the whole world had suffered because of the Nazi program, we couldn't blame the people for allowing that to happen, but at a sacrifice of nearly 30 million lives, the approximate cost in lives, the Nasis should never be allowed to run another country and the American people must do something to prevent them from getting into power. Write to Secretary of State Marshall and tell him so. The matter is more urgent than many believe. The annual meeting of the Pioneers is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 19. 'This advance .notice is given so that more members can plan to attend. Officers aie to be elected. We can stand the help of many more people in the various posts, including the committees. • » • Recent figures show that the American people have invested over 41 billion dollars in life insurance and nearly 56 billton dollars in U.S. savings bonds.

Spilar CLEVELAND, Ohio.—The pace-setting Utopisn No. 5 keglers increased their league lead to five points after enjoying an expected breeze at the expense of the challenging Concorditn No. 2 crew in the second scheduled knockdown series. The Concords had one of those days and were out of the ball game all the way. Eddie Stefanic led the former with a 520 series while Joe Citizen's 466 overshadowed all his mates' efforts. Henry Jeglich's accurate south-psw slants enabled the Comrade No. 1 team to snatch a two game three point match from the Euclid No. 156 bowlers and go into a tie with the Concordians in the runnerup spot of the stsndings. Hank dented the strike /one frequently for 225 and 200 scores in a dandy 590 set. Charlie Starman lopped the Eucliditaa with 486. The Loyalite No. 1 quintet lost three points to the Struggler No| 2 shooters but retained their grip on third place while the latter went into a four way tie for fourth. BUly Sedey and Vic Zele with 568 and 534 »tarred in the Struggle»' lineup Murrie Debenek's 563 and Mik«i Krall's 549 wasn't enough for the Loyalties' cause. After opening up with a mediocre 143 (we had a good laugh out of that one anyway), Beltin Schlarb splattered the maples around froely for 221 and 2IS.tallies in a 577 set that featured his Spartans two game win from the Utopian No. 4 five The victors also pasted a 950 actual put game that took first in the team high and their 1117 with the hand! cap rated second Steve Bat gel's 490 was best for the Utopians.

But what happened to the other 187 pins while you were at the alleys Sunday? Stan Zupon was going sround with tick eta of all sizes and descrip* tion but still manages* to hit 510.

Annual Meeting of Lodge No. 464 Dec. 10 Struggler Lodge STRUGGLERS'% STAR-GAZETTE CLEVELAND, 0,—No doubt you are anxiously awaiting the report of our Harvest Dance which took plaee on Nov. 16. At first we thought we would have a small crowd,% but wore very much sur prised at the greet turnout. * What made the situation a little confusing was the fact that both of our Struggler m n's teams bowled the late shift and as a result were late in making their appearance Downstairs tend big bar we found Johnny and frank Marolt who stayed there all evening long and wore assisted by Frank Ipavec, Joe Karlinger, and Paul Golob, Seeing to it that the hungry crowd was taken care of were Millie and Helen Marolt, while WaUy Lampe had charge of the refreshment tickets. As a novelty feature we had a Struggler member wear an odd lapel pin and to the one who, identified him first went the prize of five dol-lan. It waa an Army Air Force association pin and was vwtrn by Wally Lampe. The first to identify him and proclaimed winner was Frank IUiano who beat Tony Gerch-rtian of the Utopians by a matter of ten minutes. Here and there amid, the vast crowd we spied many Loy alite and Utopian membe» having a great time, especially Donna Grill who surprised even herself by coming to the dance. Shorty Zadell being given the old "hot foot" by Tony Kastelic while yours truly tried to keep him occupied by starting the gang in singing some of the rongs. Our own Josie Tomsic making an appearance and looking quite' well indeed. Stari Zupon and Sophie Pyke making a very fine duet singing those ole Slovene songs. Among the ole-timen we saw Bill and Josephine Perusek, Theresa Clements. Hermine Zupancic and Ann Karlinger. It was a very successful affair and here is a great big "thank you" to all who worked to make It so. Out of the Bowling-Bag Down and down we go—ooope! We are alipping at that! I'm talking about the girls' bowling. Yes, we lost three games to the Concordians last nite and if we don't get going, we'll land in the cellar again and that's exactly what we are trying to avoid; we've been there too long. We really tried to win at least one game, but the odds were against us; it was embarraSsink, too, because we had as our cheering section Frank Ipavec, Wally Lampe and Ted Laurie. At the time of this writing we understand that the Struggler No. 2 men's team is two games behind fint place and they, too, would like some rooters, so how about coming out and giving the boys a little moral support? They bowl Sunday evenings at 6 and 8, respectively, depending on what, time the schedule calls for. If jby chance both teams are scheduled at the same time, you still can get a lot of laughs and thrills out of the other SHPJ teams. Have you ever thought of what a wonderful organization the SNPJ ia? Aaide from the great bqpefits one is entitled to, have you ever realized the fraternal angle?

And when you think of Chriat-mas naturally you think of good old Santa Claus. Once again the* Women's Club has made aU arrangements for the children to see Santa and his helpers at the John R Club. This is an old custom, discontinued during the war, but revived again last year by thé Women's Club for the benefit of the children of Slovene members. S|turday, Dec. 20, at 6 p. ra. is the date and time. Santa has informed the women that he will put iq an appearance and have gifts for all the boys and girls. The Juvenile Circle membe» will sing and have a short Christmas program after Santa Claus has left. The Circle directo» request every member to attend their meeting this Saturday afternoon as they must prepare for the program and many important business affaira are to be thrashed out. Attention balina players. The ba-lina banquet is this Saturday at John R Hall, so don't forget about ,it. Lena Masser requests that every member come early to help with last minute details such as arranging and setting the tables. She also asks that anyone planning on bringing a guest must turn in the $1.50 to her before Saturday. ■ Odds and Ends This week's birthday greetings go to Mary Kramar.—The Benedicts are all'safely landed in California by now. Mrs. Benedict was wishing to see snow before she left and she will %>e interested in knowing that we had a most beautiful white Thanksgiving.—We send congratulations to Frank and Margie Dollar of Pomona, California on their new baby gril Lana Jean.—Helen. Klu-cevsek spent a weekend in Battle Creek, Mich., bowling in the Central States tournament.—Spending his first visit with his sons in Dearborn, Mich., is John Yuvan visiting from Auburn, III.—We are quite proud of our two good looking Circle dierctors. Did you see their pictures in The Voice of Youth magazine last month?—Best wishes for a successful marriage to Lefty Lot-rich and'Molly Thomas of the Pioneers in Chicago. Meeting Day Every December the various lodges go thru the task of electing new officers to guide its members thru the following year. In order to elect capable persons to these offices we must have members attend this meeting. As Le« lee Pink told you in last week's Prosveta, the main issue for debate will not be the election of officers but the question of where oun meetings for the following yeare are to be held. This has been a serious probfcm with us for the past two years and kas been our only question that has brought many arguments pro and amongst our memberj. You must remember meeting, should always be held in a vta * where you can get the most , I bers to attend. By having TZ members attend the meetings » Z only means uF running a successful lodge. The Wolverine meetings an-now scheduled for the second Sun S„°r srnih -7 *m - ^ The Wolverines have ten teams entered in the Slovene league at Palmer Park alleys, which is prJ. tically next door to the Club. Bowl-ing is never completed until after 6 p. m. and nearly every bowler" goes directly to the Club after bowl-ing. This has proved to be a boom to our meetings as our attendance has improved immensely during bowling season. In my opinion it would be quitch foolish to transfer our meetings to the West Side Hall during bowling season when everyone is at the East Side Hall on meeting day. As I can see there remains onl> one point favoring the cnanging of our meeting place. That fact is that the small hall at John R will be too small to hold oue membership at this yearly meeting. But we must remember this yearly meeting i* an exception and this hall is quite large enough to conduct our meetings for the other eleven months of the year. Remember when you vote on this issue, don't think of your personal feelings, think of the good of the lodge. Let's have a great big turnout at this meeting so we can have as successful a new year as we had the past year. See you all Sunday, Dec. 14, at 7 p. m. sharp. MILLY BERN1CK, 677.

S. cities to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Union and the 14th anniversary of the establishment of American-Soviet diplomatic relations. A former member of the League of Nations secretariat and a specialist in international affairs for 28 years, Zillia-6us just completed a month-loni* tour of eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The belief current among Americans that Russia is threatening U. S. interests in various parts of the world is fiction, Zilliacus stated. "There is a highly emotional attitude here," he said. "If you try to work it out in terms of concrete clashes, you can't find any. The American people may like free enterprise better than socialism, but just because Russians like socialism is no reason for war." ./ A reconciliation between the U. S. and the Soviet Union, Zilliacus said, depends upon the U. S„ which must "make its mind what its world role will be. Either you help the economic situation in Europe or you wage holy war against communism. You can't combine the two." For example, he pointed out that while Britain for political reasons has shied away from extensive trade with eastern Europe, the 280 million people there are a logical export market essential to keep Britain's own economy going. Similarly a U. S. loan to Poland would permit that country to expand her coal production and supply a large cart of Europe's fuel needs, he added. Because the Marshall plan would artificially divide Europe's economy, he said, its framers are forced to present the rebuilding of Germany as a central theme. "There is a strategic idea there, too," he added, "to build up western Germany as a bridgehead against the east. This is worrying a lot of people in France and England, besides eastern Europe." >.<,. mi . 1: . • jJ A war against communism, ZiUia-cus said, would mean a war against News and Scenes Russia Is Far from Being Will Build New SND in Detroit DETROIT, Mi.'h.—In the early part of 1947 excitement was high among the Slovenes here in Detroit and everybody was very much enthused in the plans of building a new Slovene National Home.

New Anti-Labor Drive to Kill 40 Hour Week Another anti-labor campaign, led by the U. 3 Chambei of Commerce, is quietlygathering strength In Washington. This time, the management objective is to kill the 40-hour week. This drive has been cantered in the little reported hearings of the House Labor Subcommittee, headed by Camuel K. McConnell (R. Pa.), which has been Industriously studying propoeels to amend the Wage and Hour Law. - Juat such a campaign, led by the National Aaaociation of Manufacturers, a year ago preceded tho Congressional enactment of the Taft-Hartley Act amending the heart out of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. The real purpose of theee hearings was disclosed lust waek when the U, S. Chamber of Commerce presented the committee with a formal request for outright repeal of the requirement that employers pay time and one-half for all work in excess of 40 hours a week. At the same time, Laundries, dry Cleaning establishments and other low paying industries are aeeking outright exemption from the Wage and Hour La#. . Although there has been eoma talk of outright repeal of the entire law, the poaaibilty of sueh an ae* tion, especially in an election year la Blight. Instead the plan appears to be: To exempt low haying Industries from the law altogether. To kill tha overtime pay requirements for ell induetry in whatever industries remain umler the law. Then to raiae the minimum wage to 66 cents as a way to win labor approval. The attack on the 40-hour week was formally launched by Richard K. Lane, representing the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, and Paul H. Nyatrom, profesaor of Columbia University's School of Busineaa. ' Lane, preeidant of the Oklahoma Public Service Company and than man of tha Chambers'i Labor Halations Committee, submitted a written brief attacking overtime provisions of the law and recommending that Congress repeal thoee provisions altogether.

It has developed by accretion over a period of mnteen centuries until today it is probably the moat important part of Catholic moral philosophy. Perhaps it ought to be called an anU-aexual code, because the primary emphasis has always been upon the ain rather than the joy in sex. It would be unkind to suggest that even priests interpret the universe in terms of their own frustrations, for after all, Freud's wisdom was not available to the early popes who clamped celibacy upon a reluctant clergy. 4 The anti-sexual emphasis of early Christianity came partly from the Orient, where certain ascetic cults glorified celibacy and masochism. These cults spread westward at about the time that Paul and his associate« were building the early church. Paul himself was notably anti-sexual, and his followers carried his teaching to such an extreme that by the third century Origen achieved victory over his lower nature by castrating himself. The church has enow repudiated caitra-tion both for monks and for choir boys, but it still exalts virginity as man's noblest condition. Cardinal Gibbons went so far in his "Faith of Our Fathers" as to suggest that Jesus chose his closest disciples on the basis of their virginity and when he went to heaven chose a special band of 140,000 virgin angels for the same reason. From the primitive beginnings the Catholic sexual code has expanded until today it covers every aspect of sexual life. The Catholic moral manuals in their specific descriptions go far beyond any novel ever banned by the effort of Anthony Corns lock or John Sumner. They boast that there is no sexual sin which a competent priest is not prepared to handle in confessional, and for every sexual situation they contend that there is a specific Catholic answer. If, for example, a Catholic girl is raped, the priest instructs he? that ahe may remove the male sperm by mechanical means within the first ten hours and still remain a good Catholic, but she may not, married or unmarried, perform a similar act under any other cir< umstances without definite risk of hell. If, after being raped, the faila in her efforts to remove the sperm, "once conception has takun place, nothing may be done" ("Medical Ethics for Nurses," by Charles J. McFadden, Foreword by Fulton J. Sheen, Davis, imprimatur Cardinal Dougherty, pp. 13« 37). If a non-Catholic woman is con-verU'd to Catholicism and her husband deserta her after refuaing to accept her creed, the converted wifa may remarry a good Catholic with the church's blessing under the so-called Pauline Privilege, but every other form of divorce is a mortal ain (ibid. p. 54). At the same time nullification of a marriage is obtained far mora easily in the Catholic than in the civil courts. If a Catholic doctor is asked to test the potency of a husband who seeks medical advice in establishing a family, he may direct the man and wife to have intercourse snd then remove the male sperm for testing immediately afterward, but if he ahould secure such sperms tozoa for his microscope slide after masturbation by the husband, both doctor and husband are guilty of mortal sin (Decree of the Holy Office. August 2. 1029). One can imagine the astonishment and bewilderment of Jesus if he returned to this mortal sphere and heard members if the Roman Catholic hierarchy expound these tortuous and detailed sexual regulations as a basic part of his teach ing. The Biblical evidence is absolutely clear that Jesus never said anything specific about birth con trol, large families, sexual perversion, masturbation, or sterilization He never established a celibate priesthood or directed believers not to mairy unbelievers. His ipost distinctive contribution to sexual ethics was one contemptuous sentence spoken to a group of Pharisees In the presence of the woman taken In adultery: "He that la without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." Since the church has developed it« own techniques for plucking selected precedents out of history, this shortage of divine authority in sexual matters has not «really embarrassed the Catholic hierarchy. Today, as the hierarchy gains strength in the ■enial and tolerant climate of America. the sexual code Is being asserted with increasing aggressiveness Sometimes it is dressed ive. The aged Pius had just piloted the Vatican to a Concordat with Muasolini, and perhaps he felt that the future belonged to dictatorships in both the moral and the political field. At any rate, he announced in his famous encyclicsl "Casti Con-nubii" that birth control is 'against nature" and that "any use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately fruatrated in its natural power to generate life is an offense against the Isw of God and nature, and those who indulge in such are branded with the guilt of grave sin." Pius used as Biblical authority for this position the story of Onan in Genesia xxxviii, which relates how Judah ordered his second son, Onsn, to marry his brother's widow and "raiae up seedy to him, and how Onan, not wishing to give his brother credit for paternity, "spilled (it) on the ground" during intercourse, whereupon God slew him As soon as Pius XI gave the signal. the celibate theologians of al-moat every nation in the world lumped into the fray against the rising birth-control movement. It would be hard to imagine a worse thing for the hierarchy to have done if it wished to win the friendship of intelligent non-Catholics in the United States. The strength and prestige of the opposition were com. pletely miscalculated. Since the days when Margaret Sanger first went to jail, birth control haa become so respectable that almost all well-to-do people in the United States, Catholic and non-Catholic, practice it to some extent. In fact, if the Catholic opposition, acting aa a pressure group, did not block legislative reform in many states, the idea oi birth control as a human right would be almost universally accepted in this country. The Planned Parenthood Federation of Am-" eriea lists 584 centers in the coun-tryx-which give not only contraceptive advice to married couples but valuable aid in overcoming infertility. 8ome six states include planned-parenthood counseling in their public-health services, and most scientists regard child spacing as essential to family happiness. In a world whose inhabitants have doubled in the last century and may soon total five or six billion, the eugenists see no solution to the population problem unless human beings learn to regulate their reproduction. Intelligent Catholics know all these things and are rebelling aguinst the church's attitude. The birth-control clinics of the Planned Parenthood Federation in nearly every part of the United States are used by Catholic women in about the same proportion as by non-Catholic women. At least three national public-opinion ' polls have demonstrated that Catholic women do not follow thair priests on this subject. When the Ladles' Home Journal asked its women readers in 1938 if they believed in the right to disseminate birth-control information to married couples, 51 per cent of the Catholic women polled said ves When Fortune posed a similar question in 1943, 69 per cent of the Catholic women said yes. A Roper poll in Connecticut reported that 54.9 per cent of the Catholic women voting said yes. This defiance by Catholic women has driven the priesthood into a corner In self defense it has resorted to frantic vilification of the birth-control movement. Twisting the plain medical facta about birth con trol, it has pretended that contraception is likely to cause cancer, that it destroys the health of married women, and that it is a form of abortion It has so intimidated the legislature in many states that there can be no scientific dissemination of birth-control knowledge to the masses of the people, who need the information most. When Look magazine in ita issVe of April I, 1048. published a sober tactual review, of the clinical work of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the top-ranking layman of the Archdiocese of New York under Cardinal Spellman wrote « ieply. published in the issue of May H. in which he accused the federation of advocating "education In animal functions completely divorced from morality and ethics," I arid declared that such education ¡meant training people 'to he sexual- takes place during eight days a month, midway between menstrual periods, and that it intercouae is carefully limited to the sterile periods, pregnancy is avoided. This method is without ain» because it is a "natural" method. Whether it is "natural" or not. it is certainly an unreliable method of birth control. Moreover, the "rhythm" theory puts the church in a ludicrously paradoxical position, with the priests in one breath condemning the arguments for child spacing and in the next using thoae arguments to support planned intercourse in the Catholic pattern. But reason and logic now play a decidedly secondary role in the Catholic war against birth control. The Pope has spoken, and the political prestige of the hierarchy is at stake. The specious distinction between scientific and "natural" birth control must be defended as divine and eternal because the Holy See has indicated that it is a doctrine in the field of "faith and morals." Who would venture to suggest that it was only an unfortunate mistake by an old man who had never been married and had never studied medicine?

The aim ia to provide this blood and substances prepared from it without cost to the ill and injured. This program, If successfully carried out, will relieve much suffering and will save many lives. It deserves the enthusiastic support of trade unionists and other workers.

KEDRICK What's Back of Truman's Call? WASHINGTON-*-(FP)—Was Pres. Truman's call for price and wage 'controls in his massage to Congress a mere political maneuver or was it genuine and based on his belief that otherwise the gigantic program to aid western Europe will break down by collapse of the domestic economy? Although correspondents and economists hereabouts were universally surprised by the development of the antMnfltftionary section of the message, there is no such unanimity on its purpose. Some of the more skeptical' feel that it was simply a device to put the Republicans squarely on the spot for 1948—so that the Truman injuries. Or they may have serious illnesses which destroy blood in the body. Or they may have illnesses which prevent the manufacture of blood in the body. A great deal new has been learned about human blood in recent years. A number of substances valuable in treating diseases have been separated from the blood. One such substance known as globulin, is helpful in preventing measles in very young children who have been expoaed and to whom the disease might be dangerous. Another such substance is helpful in the treatment of a serious hereditary blegding disease called hemophilia. Still another such substance known as fibrin and made up into films is useful in stopping bleeding during certain types of •urgical operations. It will be part of the program to prepare these substances anriithers from donated blood and to \ supply them when needed. The blood of human beings all over the world is very much the same. It has similar physical and chemical properties. It is dlvied into four main groups known as A, B, AB and O. Every individual in the world belongs to one of these groups and inherits his blood group from his parents. Theae four groups are found among every race and every nation in the world No race or nation can claim possession of a blood group that distinguishes it from other races or nations.

Soap making has long ago passed the lye-and-fat Wolling stage of Pres. A. F. Whitney of the Bro. of Railroad Trainment (unaffiliated) voiced this sentiment while approving the Truman call for stopgap aid to Austria, France and Italy. Whitney said "freezing wages at present levels will do many workers irreparable harm." He added that real price control was vitally needed, but that it is "tragic this couldn't have been done before prices hit their prekent ceiling." AFL Pres. William Green said his organization favored price controls only if all other means to check the cost of living fail. He joined the economists in stating that it was "extreme!* doubtful" whether initial price control could work. Green found his strongest objection to the wage control suggestion by Truman. He recalled that wartime wage controls left labor "sadly disillusioned" and that they inevitably lead to "widespread denials of justice and fair play." x All in all, the AFL position favors everything Truman requested except "selective price ceilings and wage ceilings" which it believes will be unnecessary, at least for a trial period during which thf threat of possible control hangs over the country. Meanwhile, the advocates of full price control have an opportunity to voice support for HJR 255 by Rep.

He also said that high American exchange the pounds for dollars, the^oil men said, Aramco and the other companies would have to buy equipment and supplies in England instead of in the United States. Uncle Sam is still "investing" public money in Saudi Arabia. After the war was over, the State Department insisted that American money and men be used to build a huge airport there. The War Department said no such airport was needed, but it was built-at a cost of government officials secretly gave ™nnnDUl I1 w*s D"m'ai a cosl $30,000,000 to King Ibn Saud by K000,000 Practically no one uses the device of 'lend-leasing" the money to England. Ibn Saud grknted Aramco oil concessions totalling 162,000,000 acres of fabulously rich territory—a tract equal to the combined area of California and Oregon. To keep the concessions, Aramco had to meet Ibn Saud's demands. The way it was done was clever— and costly to the general welfare. Ibn "padded" his government "budget" to show he needed $6,000,-000 a year for five years. Then the oil men had a bright idea that enabled Uncle Sam to do the paying. They rushed to Washington and put over the lend-lease-through-Eng-land deal. Public Pays, Corporations Collect All the above was brought out at earlier hearings. Now it is being established that in return foa all the people's money the United States has obtained nothing but the responsibility for defending private oil interests in Saudi Arabia and British interests in the middle east. At the same time the private oil interests rigged the game in a manner that will enable them to protect their profits and escape the payment v of" tfxes into the nation's treasury. r The Standard and Texas com it except Aramco and Ibn Saud. The army, according to documentary evidence, recently wanted to bring its men home from that airport, but the State Department insisted they stay. So Uncle Sam still has soldiers in the "hot spot" where Britain and Russia face each other in the Middle East. (Reading Labor Advocate) How to Get Rich Overnight WASHINGTON (FP) A true story of American financing and how fortunes are made overnight furnishes fine escape reading for the mine-run citizen who worries about the grocery bill and wonders whether he'll meet next • month's rent. ^ Such a story was released Nov. 11 by the Federal Securities & Exchange Commission. It deals with the sale by Uncle Sam of his war-built "Big" and "Little Inch Pipelines" which carried petroleum from Texas to the ports of the eastern seaboard.

One, Bahrein, is a Canadian corporation. It refines the oil produced by Aramco. The other, "Calex." was incorporated in the British Bahama Islands, a favorite heaven for wealthy American tax-dodgers. Cal-tex sells the oil produced by Aramco and refined by Bahrein. Bahrein and Caltex made $117,-000,000 profits, on which they have never paid a cent of tax to their benefactor. Uncle Sam. Moreover, officials of these companies admitted, they sold Arabian oil to private business men in England, France and Japan at much lower prices than they charged the U. S. Navy. At the hearings, however, the oil men pictured themselves as better friends of Uncle Sam than were some high government officials. Some of the latter, incidentally, were on the oil companies payroll, for $10,000 to $47,000 a year. Others have been given fat jobs with these same oil companies since the war. + Corporations Offer Terms Company officials said they offered to give tho government Arabian oil in return for the lend-leaae money, if the latter were given directly to Ibn Saud instead of through England. The government "showed no interest" in that offer, so the United States got no oil in return for the lend-lease, and the money continued to go through England to the Arab king. The oil men said they didh't like that, becauae "he who paya the piper calla the tune." As England was doing the paying in Saudi Arabia, ahe was building up her influence there, even though the an authorized capital of 250,000 of the dollar shares, but only 150,000 were sold. These shares went to a group of 17 investors in New York, Washington, D. C., Texas and Louisiana, as well as to 11 associates in the Wall Street investment house of Dillon Read & Co., Inc. The Washington investor was Atty. J. Ross Gamble, 38, a specialist in natural gas law, who got up $2,500 for 2500 shares in Texas Eastern before it purchased the two pipelines at a bid of $143,127,000. On Nov. 7, the 150,000 original shares were reclassified with the federal agency's approval on the basis of seven shares for one, into 1,050,000 shares of new stock worth a cool $9,975,000 on the basis of a public sale price of $9.50 per share Gamble is the only holder to offer shares for sale at the public offering.
