DECEMBRA (DEC. 24). 1SU Subeeriptlon IS.00 Yearly ŠTEV.—NUMBER 249 Sovjetska Rusija pripravljena za sodelovanje z drugimi državami Britski zunanji minister Bevin podal značilno izjavo. Razgovori v New Yorku ugladili pot miru London. 23. dec. — Zunanji minister Ernest Bevin je izrazil mnenje, da je sovjetska Rusija izpričala in dokazala, da je za sodelovanje z vsemi državami v prizadevanjih, katerih cilj je svetovni mir. Vse kaže, da je svetu zagotovljen popoln mir. Bevin, ki se je zadnji teden ' vrnil v London iz New Yorka, kjer se je udeleževal sej zuna-r njih ministrov štirih velesil in skupščine Združenih narodov, je govonl po radiu. Naglasil je, da je Rusija spoznala potrebo popolnega sporazuma in kooperacije z drugimi državami. Zavzela je stališče, da lahko razvija sovjetski sistem na svoj način, za-eno pa je priznala, da imajo druge države pravico do svojega na-čina življenja. , Bevin je pojasnil, da bo Velika Britanija igrala novo vlogo v svetovni politiki. Druga svetovna vojna je zapustila dve velesili na svetu. To sta Amerika in sovjetska Rtsija. Velika Britanija je ostala v sredini v geo-grafičnem smislu in načinu življenja. 0 kontroverznem vprašanju, ki se tiče pravice vetiranja, je Bevin napovedal osvojitev novega pravilnika in metod. "Odpravili n smo pravice vetiranja, katero imajo velesile, skušali pa jo bomo modificirati,** je dejal. "Hočemo predvsem, da bo služila prvotnemu namenu." Britski zuhaflji minister je dalje rekel, "da je popolnoma u-verjen, da bo Jugoslavija, ki je bila silno prizadeta v vojni, ko-openrala z drugimi državami v naporih za svetovni mir. Ona ima pred seboj težko nalogo ekonomske rekonstrukcije. Italija, ki se je zapletla v katastrofalno vojno, se bo morala dvigniti. Zavezniki ji bodo pomagali, toda wma bo morala iskati demokratične voditelje; ako bo uspela, * bo postavila na trdno poli-i*no podlago." Bevin je zavzel spravljivo state napram onim iaboritom in članom parlamenta, ki se ne str.njajo z njegovo zunanjo po Mo. Nekateri so ga obdolžili, da skušu navezati stike s kapitalist čno Ameriko na račun R,u-»j pa je naglasil, da so bile glavne potežkoče premagane.

Oblikovanje organizacije Združenih narodov se bo nadaljevalo, da bo služila svojemu namenu, ki-je vzdrževanje in zaščita svetovnenga miru. Naše delo še ni dovršeno. Upam, da bo prihodnja konferenca zunanjih ministrov v Moskvi uspešna. Glavni predmet razprav na tej konferenci bo politična in ekonomska bodočnost Nemčije. Izogniti se moramo ustvaritvi greznice cenenega in napol izstradanega delavstva v Evropi, zaeno pa moramo skrbeti, da ne bo Nemčija nikdar več ogražala svetovnega miru.'.' Bevin je zaključil svoj govor z izjavo, da je Velika Britanija za sodelovanje z vsemi državami. fi P" ki Poljska zavrnila britsko noto Zaskrbljenost zaradi . volitev ni na mestu Varšavo, Poljaka, 23. dec. — Poljska vlada je uljudno, toda odločno zavrnila britsko noto, ki izraža zaskrbljenost zaradi splošnih volitev, ki se bodo vršile na Poljskem 19, januarja, zaeno pa je obdolžila Veliko Britanijo kršenja obveznosti napram Poljski, katere je prevzela na konferenci velike trojice v Jalti na Krimu in v Potsdamu, Nemčija. Vlada pravi v odgovoru na noto, da britska zaskrbljenost zaradi volitev na Poljskem ni na mestu. Nobenega vzroka ni za britsko vmešavanje v .poljske notranje zadeve. Poljska ne more sprejeti britskih priporočil in nasvetov glede volitev. Slično noto je poljski vladi poslala Amerika. Kakor Velika Britanija, tako tudi Amerika izraža zaskrbljenost zaradi volitev na Poljskem. Besednik Poljske je okrcal Ve liho Britanijo.

Maruius Moutet, minister za francoske kolonije v Blumovi vladi, je sinod odletel iz Pariza v Indokino. Tam bo skušal navezati stike s poveljnikom rebe-lev v svrho sklenitve premirja.

Ponovite jo pravočasno, da se vam list ne ustavi. j Korakajmo naprej, ne nazaj! Se nekaj dni in tako zvani "krščanski" svet se bo zopet znašel v novem letu. (Pravosfavni, židovski, mohamedanski, budistični svet etc., etc. imajo svoje koledarje, svoje praznike, svoje svetnike, svoje bogove . . .) Kot del tega "krščanskega" sveta se bomo tudi mi — vse članstvo jednote — znašli v novem letu. Druge posebne spremembe ne bo, kot da bomo leto dni starejši kot smo bili lani ob tem času, seveda z vsem drugim organskim in neorganskim življenjem vred, pa pisali novo letnico in pri organizacijah morebiti tudi izmenjali uradnike in pričeli izvajati morebitne druge spremembe. Drugače, to je kar se tiče nas kot poedincev, pa bomo v novo leto stopili približno taki kot smo bili v tem letu, to je z istimi navadami in običaji in tradicijami, z istimi osebnimi lastnostmi, dobrimi in slsbimi, katere smo podedovali od naših prednikov ali se jih priučili in nayzeli v življenju. Sem pa tam bo morda kdo nekoliko modrejši in nekoliko bogatejši na znanju, to namreč, ako je kritično motril življenje in se iz njega in iz dogodkov in izkušenj kaj naučil; ako pa je Šlo življenje mimo njega, bo stopil v novo leto mentalno prav tako gol in omejen in poln predsodkov kot je bil lani, predlanskim, pred 20 ali 50 leti. Bojimo se, da bo pri pretežni večini slednje resnica, kajti človek se zelo malo in zelo težko uči, pa naj bo to iz svojih lastnih Izkušenj ali iz izkušenj drugih. Zato je tudi človeški napredek tako počasen in težak. Vse to največ radi tega, ker je človek suženj stsrih, že davno preživelih tradicij in nsvsd in predsodkov in mrženj, povrhu pa Še obdarjen s slsbimi, krivimi učitelji, kar vse skupaj ga vleče nazaj ali drži prikovanega v starih sponah, v strahu pred političnimi in socialnimi novotarijami. Le redki so, ki se osvobode stsrih mentalnih spon, gledajo v svet s širokimi očmi in sanjajo o lepši bodočnosti za vse. Le redki so, katerim je preteklost predvsem le šola, bodočnost pa nositeljica boljšega in lahko tudi slsbšega. V današnji industrijski civilizaciji rti namreč nič statičnega ali pribitega, marveč življenje valovi bodisi naprej ali nazaj. Toda dovolj tega modrovanja! * Za naa, za našo jednoto je vprašanje, ali bomo šli v novem letu naprej kot smo šh v zaključnem, ali se bomo ustavili ob kantonu in gledali le v preteklost, kot truden popotnik. Slednje bi pomenilo — nazadovanje, kajti vse, kar počiva, tudi ohromi in se zapiše počasni — smrti. Misel na slednjo pa nikogar ne veseli — nikogar, ki ima smisel pa voljo do življenja. Prav to je tudi napotilo vašega urednika, da je prošlo poletje v predkonvenčnih razpravah sugestiral manjšo, toda potrebno reformo pri naši tedenski Proeveti: povečanje njene angleške sekcije s treh na štiri strani. S to sugestijo se je strinjal glavni odbor in se je strinjala zadnja konvencija. Konvencija je tudi poverila glavnega urednika in eksekutivo ali glavni izvršni odbor, da izvedeta to reformo, kakor hitro uvidita, da je to umestno in potrebno. In tako je bila ta reforma uvedena — na željo urednika — še pred novim letom, ko stopijo v veljavo nova, oziroma amendirana pravila in drugi sklepi konvencije. Te vrstice pišemo predvsem zato, ker smo slišali, da so se nekateri starejši člani začeli pritoževati, češ, da so v srednji številki ali glasilu prikrajšani za eno stran slovenskega čtiva. To je, žal, resn^a. Ampak dmgo poti ni. To je vaš urednik povedal že v predkonvenčni razpravi, ko je podal to sugestijo. Proti temu se Ukrst ni nihče oglasil, kakor tudi ne na konvenciji. Toda ako hočemo jednoti dobro, moramo na to stvar gledati z nekoliko drugačnimi očmi. Gledati moramo namreč v bodočnost. * Vaš urednik je že pred konvencijo«-rekel, da je bila ta reforma potrebna že pred leti. Vsi vemo, da se star ,ša generacija vidno stara in tudi bolj in bolj redči od leta do leta. Vsi tudi vemo In prsvimo, da je bodočnost v mladini, ali da je mladina bodočnost organizacije. Ker se vrste starejše generacije bolj in bolj redčijo in krčijo, je samo vprašanje časa, bodočih deset, petnajst let. ko bo tukaj rojena, v ameriških šolah vzgojena generacijo Igrala dominantno vlogo v organizaciji. To, ali pa bo šla tudi jednota v grob s starejšo generacijo vred! Ker so se pionirji ln graditelji jednote tega že davno zavedali in gledali v bodočnost, zato smo že pred več kot 30 leti ustanovili . mladinski oddelek ln pred več kot 20 leti začeli ustanavljati mladinska ali. angleško poslujoča društva. Vse to iz razloga, da se z našo jednoto ne bo zgodilo Uko kot se je še z vsako organizacijo priseljencev, ki niso glodali v bodočnost in poskrbeli za svoje naslednike s pritegnjenem in zaintereslrsnjem mlsdine v organi- ; ma jo Vsakdo tudi lahko ve, da je za obstoj m procvit organizacije potrebno še nekaj drugega kot štetje noeov. Za obatoj in procvit organizacije je potrebno, da et vsgoji kader raaumnlh lojalnih ln Idee I Ulično u am er ionih članov tudi mod mlado ali tukaj rojeno generacijo. Ako pri naši jednoti a tem ne bomo uspeli, tedaj lahko napravimo ki |ft preko vsega Isto velja za vaako 'drugo organi zacljo In poskrbeti je treba, da med mladino vzgojimo čim večji kadvr onih članov, ki bodo videli v jednoti nekaj več kot pa na-vadni "inšurenc", kot pravimo, ali pa neke vrste športno organi-i zacijo, ki je zgrajena na Nogometnih igrah, kegljanju, balincanju in podobno Športu se sicer ne moremo izogniti, kajti ameriška mladina je vzgojena v njem. toda tudi v tem lahko gremo predaleč Ako mladini ne bomo nudili drugego kot sport, ae bo temelj organizacije sigurno spremenil v — peeek .'. . In prav to je tisto, kar je nas napotilo k sugestiji, da Je skrajni las. da tudi v angleški sekciji Proavete posvečamo ve* pozornosti IZ ZAPADNE METROPOLE Pueblo. Colorado^-Nagle smrti je preminul naš član Albert Krepenc, rodom Hrvat. Dne 11. dec. je šel na delo, odkoder so ga morali odpeljati v bolnišnico, kjer so ga kakor hitro mogli operirali. Kmalu po operaciji je umrl. Albert je bil blaga duša, tihega značaja. Rojen je bil v selu Vrh pri Ravni gori. Ob smrti je bil okoli 70 let star. Zapušča ženo Frances, tudi našo članico, in sina Alberta. Društvo Orel izreka obema iskreno sožalje! Naglo, od srčne kapi zadet, je umrl Frank Catulli, po rodu Italijan, star okoli 30 let, mož naše članice Mary Catulli in oče naše male članice Ann Marie. Obema iskreno sožalje! Nagloma je tudi umrl Louis Lesar. Dne 25. nov. je vstal zjutraj, da gre na delo, čez j>ar tre-notkov se je zgrudil in zaspal za večno. Rojen je bil v vasi Jur-jevica pri Ribnici in ob smrti star nekaj čez 60 let. Spadal je k SNPJ, ZSZ, k pevskemu klubu "Prešeren" in dramskemu klubu "Zora". Bolehal je že precej časa. Dokler je bil zdrav je bil vedno aktiven pri vseh teh organizacijah. Bil je tihe, mirne narave in spoštovan od vseh, ki smo ga poznali, kar je pričal eden največjih in najlepše urejenih pogrebov, kar jih pomni naše Pueblo. Zapušča žalujočo soprogo, 8 hčera in 4 sine, 10 vnukov in eno sestro v Jugoslaviji. ""Po dolgi bolezni je umrla Mary Ferkul, po prvem možu Francel, dekliško ime Oražen. Rojena je bila v fari Struge in ob smrti stara let. Zapušča 3 hčere in dva sina. Albertu Krepencu v slovo je zelo lepo in z občutkom zapel John Germ "Ave Maria" in "Jamica tiha, kotiček miru". Pri pogrebu Louisa Lesarja je pa v cerkvi pel klub "Prešeren" skupno s klubom "Slovenec". Ko smo posluša li to petje, smo prišli do gakljiička, da imamo v Pueblu' izredno dobre pevce. Škoda, da se ta dva pevska kluba ne združita in skupno priredita sem pa tam kak koncert, kateri bi bil naši naselbini v ponos in izobrazbo. Že dolgo nismo imeli nobenega. Pri nas je gostoval, kot že večkrat popreje, dne 29. nov. v mestnem avditoriju "Don Cos-iack Chorus" (ruski kozaki). Kar se umetnosti tiče, jih po mojem mnenju najbrže ne prekosi noben drugi zbor. Ampak človek pride do prepričanja, da iz nobenega grla ne pride pesem ta ko zveneče kot iz grla Slovenca. V mehkobi glasa ga menda prekaša samo Španec. Kadar se pa dobro izvežban slovenski zbor u-jema v glasovih, tedaj pa lahko nadlfriljuje pevske skupine vseh drugih narodnosti. Pesem "Vi-gred se povrne", ki so jo zapeli pokojnemu Louisu v slovo, je bila tako lepo in harmonično zapeta, da so nam vrele solze iz oči, dobro tudi "Blagor mu, ki se spočije" in "Jamica tiha, kotiček miru". Samo začeti je tre ba z vajami in pozabiti tisti več ni "staramo se", pa bo šlo. Naša letna seja 1. dec. je bila precej dobro obiakana. Videli smo nekatere, ki pridejo malo kdaj ali po nobenkrat. Upanje je, da se jim je seja videla zanimiva in da se zopet ustavijo, kadar pridejo plačati članarino V odbor za prihodnje leto smo povečini izvoljeni prejšnji urad niki. To se pravi is celih vrst nominirsnih, smo imeli samo mi toliko "korajže", da smo prevze li nominacije, in to je znamenje, da amo fajn fantje in punce. Frank Pechnik, predsednik, vodi seje natančno po paragrafih. Martin Miklich, pod preda., nič ne zaostaja.

Da bodo skrbeli, da kdo Orlo-ve blagajne ne odnese, bodo pa pazili Louis Malensek, predalnik nadzornega odbora, zraven pa Frank Mutz in Martin Kra-sovetz. Seje so ravno tako kot prej: prvo nedeljo v mesecu ob 2. uri popoldne v Narodnem domu. Samo iz tajniškega urada se pa poroča, da bo drugo leto, če ne bo članarina plačana v dveh mesecih, sledila suspenda-cija. To ne tsadene tistih, ki plačajo za 3 ali '6 mesecev skupaj. Ni nobene pritožbe čez starejše člane, vsi pridno plačujejo, razen par, ampak mlajša generacija pa ne vttme društvene članarine za nekaj resnega. Kjer starši skrbijo, da je plačana, že še gre. 4 Kjer so pa prepuščeni sami sebi, j* pa druga "stori j a". Ho so vsi fleai, "movies" in "beer jointi" v mesecu odpravljeni,' so oni streham domislijo, eni pa še tisto ne, da društvo ni plačano. fOi se bo pa porinilo rta drug mesec". Drugi mesec je še slabše, ker je treba plačati dva. "O. bomo pa kar pustili, saj ne dobimo nič ven." Nikdar ne pomialijo, da bodo enr krat stati, v mnogih slučajih o-, nemogli, to -je še vse daleč— daleč, med lx> 'pa prišlo od nekod bogastvo in C vsa društva naj vzame tisti z rogmi, če hoče. To je vse napačno. Mladina ne pride na seje, da bi se jo podučilo. Zato naj pa stariši skrbijo in razložijo sinovom in hčeram pomen društev in da zastonj se nikjer nič ne dobi, da kdor ne založi nič, tudi vzeti ne more nič, kadar pride potreba. Zraven pa tudi, da če ne nadaljujejo, bo tisto, kar so že plačali, izgubljeno za vedno. Plee društva Orel dne 1. dec. je izpadel zelo dobro. Reče se lahko, da tako dobro organizirane postrežbe še kmalu ni bilo. Člani: Frank Pechnik, Tony Lu-kanick, Frank Stark, Ludwig Yoxey, Steve Sain in članice: Tončka Klun, Josephine War-mack, Katie Vivoda in Mary Hochevar so tako izvrstno delovali vsak na svojem mestu, da je vsega priznanja vredno. Tudi nekaterim tistim člsnom, ki so se udeležili plesa, gre vse pri» znanje. Mladinski krožek je imel svojo letno sejo 7. dec. popoldne, na kateri je bil izvoljen odbor za prihodnje leto; za nadzornika mladinskega krožka je bil na Ork>vi seji izvoljen Frank Pech nik. Krožek je imel svojo božično veselico 21. dec. zvečer.

Ena stvar je pa gotova, da dotičnik nima ne veselja, ne voljo do dela, ker če bi ga imel, bi bilo gotovo vsaj nekaj narejeno. Naša člana Stanley in Hilda Stupar sta dobila krepskega sinčka Roberta, Mark in Matilda Mutz pa malega Marka. To pot mu je ime samo Mark Mutz in nič drugega.

VABILO NA PLESNO VESELICO NA SILVESTROV VEČER Font ana. Cel. — Doslej sta društvi 569 in 723 SNPJ prirejala zabavo in ples na Silvestrov večer v korist društvenih blagajn. To leto pa je gospodarski odbor sklenil, da priredi zabavo in ples v korist blagajne društvene dvorane. Vzrok za ta zaključek je, ker veliko ljudi prihaja v Calif orni-jo in našo Fontano in tako se tudi naše Članstvo obeh društev množi, naš društveni dom pa postaja premajhen, a ker nimamo dovolj Ribničanov na razpolago, da bi ga razrinili, smo primora-ni, da si pomagamo na drug način. Za ples bo igral dobro poznani Eddie Simms in njegov orkester. Vsi, ki se boste udeležib naše veselice, si preskrbite do bre čevlie, da ne boste šli domov bosonogi- Lačen in žejen ne bo treba biti nikomur, ker bo za vse preskrbe 1 odbor. Na tem mestu vabimo vse naše prijatelje in znance od tukaj, posebno pa članstvo bližnjih društev iz Los Angelesa, da nas posetite v velikem številu, kakor v preteklosti. Upamo, da bo naša skromna dvorana zopet prenapolnjena. Za odbor: John Pečnik. DOBRODOŠLICA ZA VETERANE Verona. Pa^-ČUnstvo društva 216 SNPJ vabimo na dobrodošlico, ki jo bomo priredili za veterane.

NOVICE DRUŠTVA / SLA VIJE 1 SNPJ Chicago, 111.—Nh naši letni seji smo imeli zelo lepo udeležbo, okrog 60 Članov* in članic, kar je lepo število za velikost društva kot je Slavija št. 1. >' Izvoljeni ao bili sledeči uradniki za 1. 1947: Frank Zaitz, predsednik, Frank Alesh, podpredsednik, MRan Medvešek, tajnik (2610 So. Lawndale are., telefon ROCkweH 2219), Anton Udovich, blagajnik, Peter Ber-nik, zapisnikar, reditelj Valentin Meršol. Društveni zdravnik dr. John J. Zavertnik. Nadzorni odsek: Joško Oven, predsednik, John Jurecic in Joe Hrvatin. V odboru sta dve spremembi: blagajnik Matt Vidergar ni več kandidiral, ker je preveč zaposlen v klubu Slovenskega delavskega centra. Z Mattom sva dobro skupaj orala, kajti on je star !in razumljiv društvenlk, prav tako bova tudi s Tonetom Udovi-chem, ki je dobro poznan kulturni in društveni delavec in dolgo letni predsednik pevskega zbora Prešeren. V nadzorni odbor pa ni več kandidiral poznani društ-venik Frank Bizjak, kateri je vedno pripravljen zagrabiti za delo, kadar gre za dobro stvar. Na njegovo mesto pa je bil izvoljen Joe Hrvatin, sin poznane či-kaške družine, ki je vsa včlanjena pri Slaviji. Poleg drugih zaključkov smo sprejeli tudi, da prispevamo $10 za Slovenski narodni muzej v Clevelandu. Ta narodna ustanova je vredna vsestranske podpore. Razumljivo, obnovili smo tudi članarino za Prosvetno matico. Članstvo Slavije danes opozarjam na januarsko sejo, na kateri bodo predvajani filmi o zadnjih dveh konvencijah SNPJ. Pridite v velikem številu! Dobili boste tudi stenske koledarje, kakor tudi 'knjige Prosvetne matice, namreč povesti W pesmi naše poznane pisateljice Katke Zupančičeve. Se na nekaj opozarjam član stvo društva 1 in vse naše prija telje: V soboto (predpustna sobota), 15. februarja, bomo imeli plesno veselico. Tisti, ki imate vstopnice za prodajo, potrudite se in jih rasprodajte, Usti, ki pa jih nimate, posezite po njih. Prepričan sem, da bomo imeli, lepo udeležbo. Milan Medvešek. tajnik. - POROČILO TAJNIKA DRUŠTVA 59 SNPJ Depue, I1L—Na I^tni seji društva Zavednost 59 SNPJ so bili izvoljeni sledeči odborniki za 1. 1947: Vincent Omahen, predsednik, John Resetich, podpredsednik, John Zugich, tajnik, Peter Banich, blagajnik, Ignac Benkše, zapisnikar. Nadzorni odsek: Ignac Benkše, predsednik John Kopina in Anton Jermec Bolniški nadzornik, zastopnik Prosvete in mladinaki ravnatelj John Zugich. Zastavonoši sta John Resetich in Anton Šiška, zastopnik za Slovenski narodni dom John Blatnik, društveni zdravnik George B. Meagher. Zaključeno je bilo, da kupi društvo venec za umrlim članom ali članico za $15, za Članstvo mladinskega oddelka pa za $5. Društvo bo še nadalje ostalo pri Prosvetni matici. Društvene seje se bodo vršjle kot pop navadi, namreč vsako tretjo nedeljo, začetek ob desetih dopoldne v Slovenskem narodnem domu. Asesment bom pobiral pred sejo in po aeji, kajti najlepša navada in lastnost je, ds se član udeleži seje in pleča prsvočasno svoje prispevke. Ako boste upoštevali U nasvet, bomo imeli vedno dobro udeležbo na seji in se ne bo trebe nikomur Jeziti, da me ni Ulo doma, ko je prišel plačat asesment . . . Glavna sejs je bila prilično dobro obiskana, udeležba pa bi bila še večja, toda je nenadoma umrl član društva 56. splošno Kuni in spoštovani trgovec is Zičkar. Id je prav tedaj letal mrtev Pokojnik je imel velik biznct g grocenjo tn mes- nico. V četrtek popoldne, 12 dec., ko so pri nas trgovine 1 Prte, je odšel sam na blžnj0ef^ mo z namenom, da zakolje neka* glav živine. Po izvršenem de ^vračal prot, domu. a £ Ker ga ni bilo pravočasno domov, so ga šli iskat in našli mr tvega približno 3 milje izven Depueja. Najbrže se je počutil in zapeljal svoj trok ob strani ceste. Po izjavi zdravni ka ga je zadela "srčna kap" in bil ie na mestu mrtev. Njegov brat Frank je istotako umrl za srčno kapjo leta 1933. Pokojni Louis Zičkar je bil ro-jen 1 1904 v vasi Črešnjice, fara Cerklje, občina Krško na Do Irskem. V Ameriko je priiel L 1920, in sicer v Depue. Tedaj mu je bilo 16 let. Bival je ves čas tukaj. Bil je zelo vesele narave in vsakemu rad pomagal Ko smo nabirali prispevke za staro domovino, je vedno z veseljem prispeval najvišjo vsoto. Ker je bil zelo priljubljen in spoštovan, je v tej okolici vse pretresla njegova nenadna smrt. Pogreb se je vršil 16. dec. ob veliki udeležbi društvenih članov, članic in občinstva iz te okolice. Pokopan ie bil na slovenskem pokopališču v Depueju, poleg svojega brata Franka, ki je tudi tukaj umrl pred 12 leti. Lepa hvala društvenemu predsedniku br. Vincentu Omahnu, ki je pri odprtem grobu pr*čj-tal nagrobni govor, nakar je*nas pozval, da smo mu oddali nas zadnji pozdrav in se poslovili za vedno od pokojnika. Dragi Louis, počivaj v miru is naj Ti bo lahka ameriška gruda! Vimenu društva 59 SNPJ izrekam globoko sožalje užaloščeni družini Zičkar! Pokojnik zapušča tu žalujočo soprogo, 10-letnega sinčka, brata Antona, dva nečaka in dve nečakinji, v Sharonu, Pa., bratranca, v stari domovini pa 84-letno mater in tri brate. John Zugich, tajnik 59 SNPJ. DOMAČA ZABAVA DRUŠTVA 95 SNPJ Ogleeby. Ill^-Naznanjam članstvu društva 95 SNPJ, da se je veselični odbor poslužil dane moči na glavni seji in preložil datum društvene veselice, ki se je imela vršiti na starega leta večer. Vzrok preložitve je, ker ni dvorana, v kateri zborujemo, primerna za take priredbe. Je tudi nevarno radi strmih stop-njic. Dvorana "Moose" pa je že oddana za tisti večer, zato smo preložili veselico na 25. januarja. . Apeliram na članstvo našega društva in ostale društvenih ter prijatelje, da se udeležijo te naše "redke" veselice v čim večjem številu, Uko da se bomo zopet enkrat skupaj po domače zabavali. Take "zimske" priredbe ni bilo že dolgo časa pri nas, zato je bil že čas, da se je nekaj u-krenilo. Idejo je sprožil brat Joe Gorišek, ostali smo pa potrdili z odobravanjem. Sklenjeno je tudi bilo, da vsak član kupi za 50c trošnih listkov, katere bo lahko porabil, če se bo tjdeležil veselice. Te listke ima tajnik na rokah in jih lahko do-bite, kadar plačate asesment Torej vas v imenu odbora se enkrat vabim na domač« zabavo društva 95 SNPJ, ki se bo vrt» v dvorani Moose dne 25 januar ia, začetek ob'sedmih zvečer Odbor bo pripravil vse potrebno za Učne in žejne.

Na tej priredbi bo nastopil kot govornik Donald Lotrich, ki ni ie nikoli nastopil v tej okolici. Garantiram vam, da boste zadovoljni z njim. Govoril bo v slovenščini in angleščini, tako da ga bomo razumeli stari in mladi. Kakor vam je znano, federacija ni mogla radi raznih zaprek zadnja leta prirejati priredb, medtem časom pa je imela vseeno razne stroške s plačevanjem asesmenta za člane, kateri so v Potrebi. Federacija j>odpira tu-di druge napredne ustanove. Torej udeležimo se veselice v velikem števili*, in se bomo skupaj poveselili pred zatonom tega leta Postrežem boste v vseh oarih.

Trst —Zopet so je pričela bor ba za slovensko šolo. Naše ljud stvo jo je pričakovalo. ZVU je v Gorici in trstu priredila počit niške tečaje, da bi "sfabricirala" iz belogardističnih beguncev uči telje za slovenske šole. In naše ljudstvo si je takoj postavilo veliko vprašanje: ali sme zaupati vzgojo svoje dece ljudem, ki jih ne pozna, Ib ki so med njimi ko-laboracionisti in morda celo taki, ki imajo omadeževane roke od braUke krvi? Naše ljudstvo daje na to odgovor, vreden po-nosnega naroda: "Ne in stokrat ne. pa naj pridejo ti lažni učitelji med nas tudi s sto raznimi dekreti." V Sv. Križ pri Trstu se je pri-tepel novi učitelj Turel s svojo ženo. Ljudstvo je zvedelo, da je prijatelj znanega zločinca Barage, saj se je s tem pohvalila tudi njegova žena, ki je ravno tako hotela postati vzgojiteljica svetokriških otrok. Ljudstvo je oba vsiljena učitelja kratkoma-lo nagnalo, da sta jadrno zapustila vas. Matere pa so se sbra-le pred spomenikom pfdlih partizanov ter tam ob spominu tistih, ki so dali svoja življenja, da so nam priborili obnovo slovenske Šole, prisegle, ds na Bodo izročile svojih otrok izdajalcem in hlapcem tujega imperializma. Dne 12. okt. se je omenjeni učitej Turel vrnil v Sv. Križ v družbi kap. Slmonija. Ta ai je najprej ogledal prosorte prosvetnega društva "Vesna". Opazil je sliko Tita in Stalina na sU-ni in vprašal: "Kje pa je Truman?" MPo osvoboditvi smo Imeli tu vaše zastave in vaše voditelje. Ko pa je ZVU začeli nastopati proti našemu ljudstvu, smo jih odstranili," so odgovorili veščini. Medtem se je ljudstvo začelo zbirati pred šolo. Lokalni policiji sta prišla na pomoč še dva kamjona civilne policije. Obsto-pili so ljudstvo, ki pa se ni ustrašilo. V Krlš se vvnejo lanski učitelji Na ugovor, da Titova slika na sme viseti v šoli, |per J« Tito predstavnik tuje države, Je ljudstvo odgovorilo: "Mi ne poznamo Tita kot tujega predstavnika. On samo pooseblja ideal naše borbe. Kapitan Simoni Je omenil, da imajo v ameriških šolah učitelji vseučlllško izobrazbo. Odgovorili so mu, da nI važno, aH Ima učlUlj spredaj dr. ali Inž. Važno je, kaj in kako poučuje. SIcer pa da točno vedo, da učitelj, ki Jim ga hočejo vsiliti, nima niti učiteljske izobrazbe, Nova učiteljica se je celo Izrazila, ds je vseeno, ali otroci pridejo v šolo ali na, saj bo ona itak plačana. Takih učtUljev Sv. Križ ne rabi. Ljudstvo v Sv Križu je s svojim enotnim nastopom In s svojo odločnostjo doseglo, da mu je kap. Simoni obljubil povratek lanskih učiteljev Dogovorili so se tudi, da bo Titova slika ostala v šoli, če bodo obesili pol*l nje še Trumanovo In Churchil-lovo. Ko se je Simoni s Turelom odpeljal, Je mladina prepevsls pe-sem o "beli gardi", Pred cerkvijo pa je ljudstvo izžvižgalo odhajajočo civilno policijo.

This proves one thin*-STre is a will to come, there is leeway A good attendance proves a fraternal and cooperative ST so let's keep up the food ' it was nice to see Rudy Puc, Sary M.oduszewski. StelU Hughes and her sister Julia Vidmar, and of course the good steady regulars. It i. ud to all of us to make the coming »ear the biggest and best yet, fraternally. socially and otherwise. The main topic at our meeting, as I suppose it was at yours, was the election of the officers for the ensuing year. This is an important factor in all organizations. It means that the newly elected officer la duly sworn to uphold the duties entrusted in him and to continually work for the good of the organization. Only with .this thought in .mind cm any official be * success ai^l a credit to his lodge. I am happy to report our meeting wsa a very successful one and herfe »re the results: Pres., Miroslav Pec-man; Vice Pres., Anthony Tomaich; Stc'y, John Ujcic; Rec. Sec. and Tress., Elsie Stefancie; The Social Committee—it did a wonderful Job lnt year—has been augmented by a f«w new members, including -John Fabec, Julia Vidmar, Rose -Fabec, Frank Kress, and Rudy Ujcic. Here's wishing the new committee success for the new year, and to the retiring officers—thanks for a job well done. An organization of any type, be it fraternal or social, or Big Business, cso only progress with the help of •ach and every member within thgt organization. Cooperation is just , a small word but its scope of meaning covers a great deal. According to Webster it means "the act of jointly working together." Therefore it means you and you and you work ing together with your fellow broth en and sisters of the SNPJ. There never has been a perfect organization or a perfect human be^ ing. We all have our faults and the only way to correct them is to work with our fellow men to straighten them out. By this I mean that the lodge meeting is the place to Ifon <*t all difficulties,' 6pihW' and pudgeg and what not that concerns any and all members of the lodge. The place, least.of all, to discuss «uch matters is over a bar at a local tavern. Remember, folks, the lodge n just as much yours as anyone «l»e's and as a member in good faith you should work for the betterment or that lodge in every way. The Morning Stars haven't had •n affair lately but with the coming of the new year, we have planned ■ d«nce on January 25, with Billy "ernnek furnishing the music for our many SNPJ members and mends. Admission will be sixty-Ova cents (65c) with dancing from ' t.11, with everyone's favorite refreshment, kranjske klobase, being wrved.

This will give me a chancc to renew old acquaintances in the district so well known and so full of spirit of our deceased Joseph Snoy. Others have taken up where he had left off. They will try to carry on the work where he left off. • • • It's remarkable how things are going leftist these days. Leon Blum, the old French Socialist was called back from retirement to rescue tha French economy with an all Socialist Cabinet. He is the man who came to this country and negotiated a large loan for France and is the sort of a moderate, in whom others, left and right, see as an honest man. He will do much to help the French along from their old troubles. However, I feel thst this is being done at the expense of the real change that should tak« place in, France. After the job is started he may be cast aside.—Then there is the story of the Town Hall meeting of Thanksgiving Day in which UNRRA Direc tor LaGuardia put some people straight on the subject of relief for Jugoslavia and what all the Jugo s lavs are doing. He actuslly told his audience that our U.S. State Department was lying snd thst report ers were not telling the truth.*Also, that no arrests were made of UN RRA Inspectors outsfde of one who was charged with espionage wnd UNRRA yanked him quickly out of the country. Although I didn't hear the discussion myself, a friend of mine brought a reprint of it and I enjoyed reading it. This plainly shows how news are distorted and lyingly reported, purposely. We are glad that someone is still able to tell the truth. • • • Information has been received from the SNPJ about the transflr of policies from tho old form A to the present G series. We have always recommended to our members that they make the chango, because they have everything to gain in these newer type polices. This not,-was addressed to the Secretaries It is l?0P«l that the Secretaries will put the message across Ui their members. Sometime ago BroUier Fred A. Vider wrote some critical remarks about the manner in which this subject was brought up at the laat convention. It ian't nice for a Supreme Secretary to do that. After ail, our purpose was not to harm anyone or show up anyone, but merely to call attention to the desire for the change. Even high officlaia should underetand that. Normally such comments don't even deserve a respons* That's why none war forthcoming, • • • Best wishes for the Holiday S«a son to sll of our active SNPJers and friends May UM7 be a happy and prosperous one for all of you Sharon Jaeenile Circle No. 21 Electa Officers SHARON, PA—Circle SI held lU annual meeting on Sunday, Dec J I. at the Slovenian Horn* at S p m.

Wo also wish to advise that tha new Athletic Board will be elected for a term of one year at the semi-annual meeting of the Supremo Board in February, 1947, However, before such election can take place. It la first necessary for lodges to nominate the candidates. The rules provide that candidates may be nominated by the various lodges, English or Slovene Speaking, in each of tha »oven athletic districts. Any lodge haa the right, therefore, to nominate a candidate for the district in which it la located. Such a can didate may bo a member either of your own lodga or aome other lodge ln your district. Candidates for the National Athletic Board shall be nominated at the regular mooting of the lodge in December or January. Let It bo understood, however, that it is not compulsory for any lodge to choooo a candidate for this office. On the other hand, should a lodge see fit to nominate ona who qualifies, kindly report his (her) name, certificate and lodge number, and the address to the Office of Juvenile Director on or before February 1. 1947.

Cleveland Athletic SNPJ League News CLEVELAND.—It s*tnis that the Eastern Invitational Tournament Will not be held at Grdina alleys, primarily because they were not available, Our next choice are the Slovene Home Alleys, even though this means more work for the tournament committee. The Cleveland bowlers will be obliged to bowl on Fr.day night in order to speed up ths schedule. This also means a postponement of the women's league, but, of course, the girls should not mind this when such,* tournament is in question. The subieet of the Athletic League Trophy was brought up. Whitey and Johnny had a sample trophy displayed at the meeUng. but nothing definite was agreed upon. Once again the question of non-members bowling canas up. It has always been understood that SNPJ members receive prefarence on our teams, and only in extreme necessity are nonmembers used. Most of the time, having non-members participate in our sports serves as an inducement to become our members. This may not be true irv every ess*, but after these individuals see the benefits they derive from the Athletic League and its social activities. we see no reason why they would not become permanent members of the organization. Our league secretaries carry the responsibility of explaining the situation to theae bowUrs. A tram carrying auch non-n..—bers may even be barred from being elig.bl* for a trophyl The Loyalite Mixed League is having grand success Not only are they having fun. but the lodge also acquired five new meinitera through this league. Next year will probably see more of these leagues in operation, The Athletic League donated an additional $39 towarda lh» uniforms of these bowlers. To avoid contusion. hard feelings and suv*h the Athletic League will Uy to acquire dance dales tar in advance The Federation may be of help by publicizing theae dales A*an wr* request *ach lodge secretary to notify the Athletic League with the nam*a of their legal representatives, and thus simplify ths roll-call. Our next meeting will be held on the 19th of Jsnuary. at which time the new officers will lie sleeted Inters, have your representatives attend this meeting! T>me i« 1 ■ JOl Some of the team leaders are as follows: Team high 3 games: Bon Air 2478; Kelso I, 2.2451; Triglav II, 2420. Team high single game: Bon Air 881; Triglav 1, 872; Kelso I, 885. Individual high 3 games: Keenan from Kealo I, 624; Shikalla from Triglav I, 579; Umek from Triglav II, 559. Individual high single game: Tom Bricely, F. C., 227; Walter Calkoski. Bon Air, 218; John Bombach, F. C., 217. Triglav II forfeited 40 games for using an ineligible bowler. My sympathy to Triglav II Because they have a wonderful team, ar« good sportsmen and they belong on the top. Incidentally, that is where they were before afore mentioned calamity.

The Lunders started out to make a rout of th" affair as they blasted 924 and 878 scores to gain a 94 pin lead as the Red Shirts totaled 877 and 829 The final fracas saw a complete change in the bombardment as the Utopians got as hot as thair crimson shirts in blazing forth with a 966 gams while the Hotshot« sputtered in with 842. This belated spurt gave them total pins, 2672 to 2042. and two points for each aggiegation which put them back where they started from.

At last a man haa been found with the nencessary courage and Intelligence to defend the youngsters of today. "A I6t of nonsenae ha« been written and spoken about the juvenile delinquency problem." says Dr. Hobart M Corning, superintendent of schools in Washington. D. C. "Modem youth ha« high standards, i« honed, industrious and brutally frank and outspoken." He was addressing a meeting of the District Bar Association appointed to study Juvenile delinquency. Of oOurse thrre are plenty of vi-ciotis boys and girl« to be found in all sections of the country. The same was true 20 years ago. 50 years ago. 100 years ago. However, taking it by and large, America has never boen blessed with a higher percentage of decent, dependable, intelligent bovs and girl«. We should thank God for that.

Sec y Around the Pot-Bellied Stove Br Robert L Walkinshaw, MMSW-CIO Representative It is peculiar to note the conversation that transpires among individual« sitting around the pot-bellied stove trying to keep warm. They discuss many subjects revolved around world jtffurfs, labor and management problems, and last but not lsggt the welfare Of every American. The otfyer night the topic of discussion was file enormous profit« made by management since the cessation of hostilities. 01 course, Wf had to discuss the increase of cost per unit to t!)f con«umer and also the abolition of the OPA. Why was management able to make such fgcessive profits? Thi* was the typical jtind of question asked. The only intelligent way to anfwer this, wat to poll the participant« in the discussion. After some deliberation we arrived with unanimity at the following: 1. Profit« for the fir»t full postwar year, 1948. fluctuated considerably from industry to industry. It begins to look, however, like 1946 protits. after taxe«, in the majority of industries Will exceed even the excessive war time profits. How does this compare with wage increase« granted to the workers of these companies? The answer is it doesn't. For example the OPA, io it« recently released 18th Quarterly Report, reveals that the price increases which it granted to corporations up to June of this year were far in excess of the amount needed to cover wage increases. A study of 16 industries, accounting for 88% «f all factory and min« production, shewed that gn average price increase of less than 2% (1.8) would have offset the wage increases granted—actual price increases for these industries averaoe^ 8.4% or more than three time« the needed amount I After one of the participant« revealed these figures the majority of the participants were of the opinion that it was a little too hot due to interna) heaL 2. We cannot forget to discu«« as to how it affected thf consumer. While profits are zooqxing, the wages off the workers in teriqs of what they can buy are moving steadily down-wards. / , From V-J Day through August of this year, average weekly earning« in the brass and smelting and refining sections of the industry have fallen by over 4%r£espite the 18.5 cent« wa|e increases^ During this |rsame period living costs, as shown by the Bureau of Labor Statistic«' Con«umer» Index, advanced 12.4 berccnt Thu», real wage« for theie worker« fell by about 15% in one year. Since August, 1946, living costs have climbed even more ajteeply. From August through mid-October, they rose an additional 3 percent. The removal of price control« in November-will greatly Intensify thi* increaae, so that by the end of this year, the cost of living may well rise 20 to 25% or more above laat Jsnuary. 2. It doesn't take the smartest man in the worl^ to figure put a« to what will happen ft this ccptmues— obviously inflation. We are not trying to put a scare in the mind« of the consumers. What we are merely trying to do is to tell you something has to be done. Let's face the facts as they ara. Corporations reaping excessive profits, consumers paying exorbitant price« for the commodities produced by the corporations, consumer wages merely enough to provide for their families without evgn thinking about luxuries. This only spells disaster. Of course even with governmental fact« supplied by the corporations themselves they still continue to cry poverty. How about the poor consumer? Who will listen to him when he can't pay h « obligations? We canhot forget Uiat the corporation« are protected by law if they suffer any ioesea. They are guaranteed profits by the excess profits tax. What guarantee does (he con turner have by Federal Law? Absolutely nothing Aa far as we're concerned thi« is doing the Consumer an act of injustice The consumer will have to make up. He will have to activate himself in all liberal organizations that work for the benefit of aU American«. He Will i4ve to let hia representatives m Congress know how he fee la by corresponding with him at regular intervala. I/ thi« is not done obvteualy ha wiU feel that all of hia constituent* are aatisfied and living a lile of luxury Let him know that we need social legislation, a minimum wage law of seventy-five cant« for all Americana, decent housing for our returning veteran« who fought to let him have the right to att in the Congress of theae United Slates. We could continue to ate many, many benefits that are needed to give the American consumer aa Unproved living standard but we feel this Will only come about by a coordination program of all conaum era. Fellow«, this heat Is getting ter r fie. it's about Utne we adjourned thia meeting of the pot-be tied stove forum until a later date Maybe by that Ume you fellows arfll be able to talk on some other subject tka« Is for tha welfare of our nauen and Oar 49th Star in the Arctic By Bichard L. Nouberger VANCOUVER, B. C.—Will Alaska become a state7 Unofficial returns from Juneau indicate that Alaskans have voted for statehood, 9,565 votes to 6,820. But this was only an advisory referendum. No writ of law runs from it. Many Americans take if for granted that Alaska is now about to join the Union, merely because Alaskan« so willed it; this is' definitely not «o. What steps must take place before Alaskc's star became« the 49th in the flag of the United States? Congress next must pass a bill conferring statehood on Alpska and of course the bill must be signed by President Truman. Alaska men must then hold a constitutional convention. and the constitution thus drafted must be ae to her wedding when she ITrrud Dan Vuckovich und sent »round gifts when each of her chil- Hrt-n was born. When they cast their ballots, the vnters of Anaconda recalled the automobile accident in 1937 which broke both »of Donna's legs and put her into a wheel chair with no pro-sneet of getting out. They had talked together in shocked tones when Dan Vuckovich died suddenly, wondering if there ever would be an end to Donna's hard luck V13 A S O M d Life m a German Concentration Camp Following is a translated letter written by Amalia Vesel of Ljubljana Jugoslavija, to her brother, Peter Bernik. oldest member of the Ma.n Office personnel. In it she describes her terryfying experiences in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. The letter reads as follows The young mother herself waft pretty well discouraged when she went on a trip to Minnesota and friends in Minneapolis took her to an orthopedist for an examination. She was told that there was a good chance surgery would help her. She would have to go to a hospital and stay a long time. At first she could see no possible way to make arrangements for such major operations or to finance them. But she vas only thirty-six. There were so many long years ahead, too many to sit all day in a wheel chair. There was the problem of the children's support, too. Her neighbors had always said that Donna had spunk and in this time of stress it swelled to proportions greater than ever before. It took a lot of courage to return to Montana and go straight to the Deer Lodge County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. There she was told that of course the money in the treasury was for polio victims. It had been collected in the March of Dimes to make possible just such surgery as that which had been prescribed for her Best of all. it was immediately available for transportation and all other needs. Right away things began to hap pen Word went back to the Min nesoto hospital that all possible treatment for Mrs. Vuckovich would he financed by the local chapter-that everything possible was to be done regardless of expense. As soon as arrangements could made for care of the children Oonna started for Northwestern ' Hospital in Minneapolis—this time lull of hope for the future. It took six operations and months or hospitalization to put her on her 'm she endured the discomforts 'f Plaster casts.

Nov. 11, 1946. Dear Peter:—First of all, I want to thank you for your long awaited letter. It is regrettable that you didn't get my letter in which I described in detail my experiences, so I am repeating it again. Before I go on, however. I must tell you how overjoyed we were when we received your package. You may well imagine that no child at Christmastime is happier than we were when we opened it. . . Here is a brief account of my life in the German concentration camp: Arrested by Gestapo I was arrested on Nov. 1&, 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned until Dec. 5, 1943, when they turned me over to the White Guard, where I stayed imprisoned until April 15, 1944. I was condemned to death, but luck was with me. I was freed by the nephew of Jernej's aunt (uncle Jernej's wife) who-at that time was connected with the secret police, and who happened to see me at the trial. Why he decided to do this, I have no way of knowing, except that it might have been for the sake of a relative. The only thing I was ever able to find out is that he immediately telephoned the White Guard official in charge of the trial, and told him that be would be responsible for me. On April 15, I was sent to Germany as member of forced labor brigade. You cannot imagine how utterly Repressed I was, gathering my limited personal belongings and saying to myself. "Goodby, my loved ones." I was firmly convinced that the ultimate goal of this would be certain death. In the prison yard we were loaded into transport trucks which took us to Št. Vid. There we were herded like cattle into freight cars used for cattle, 50 persons to a car. (One European freight car is % of American car.) When the filled cattle cars were sealed, they laughed derisively with such remarks as: "Let's pack this partisan manure firmly, so that none will be lost on the way," and "We won't be seeing you again. Over there they'll ta^ good care of you." Ia Cattle Can Brother Ludvik came to the št. Vid depot. He brought along some money and a little food, so that I had at least something for the most trying moments. . We rode in these sealed cars for five long days. Can you possibly imagine how horrible this was? You couldn't even sit down because of the congestion and the car was opened only every two days. The nights were very cold and most of us were not sufficiently clad. In Berlin we were at a standstill in sealed cars for 12 hours on an open track, exposed to the aerial attack, which lasted six hours. I didn't expect to come out of that hell alive. The vibration of explosions shook everything around us and several bombs fell in our immediate vicinity. We were indeed fortunate that none fell directly on us. From there we rode to Fuersten-berg and from there on walked to camp Rawensbrueck. Upon our arrival we were attacked by the SS troops, which robbed us of sll jewelry and money. Then all of us women were herded into an enormous cement bathhouse, where we were locked in all night. Deathly exhausted we fell upon the damp cement floor and deslpte bitter cold, fell asleep, almost one upon the other. In the Barracks The following morning at 4 o'clock we heard, for the first time and later so well known, "Aufstehenl" all ./lay long, but at nite, they both diaapp«ared. We surmiaed that they ware hoth kilK-d. Exhausted The third day 1 became exhausted myself, but that evening came the news that the American army had overtaken the road to Dachau. Our column turned back. Destination— Zwodau, The journey back waa even more horrible. We saw no food since the sedond day of oui trip. The SS guards were almost wild, they yelled and beat us in cessantly. Thoee of us who remained in the march measured our steps uncertainly, weak and exhausted we dragged each other, Crying and weeping was heard all the time. I no longer cared, could no longer see or hear, only the word "forward" dominated my mind. I don't remember how we returned U> the camp. There they divided u-into three barracks, tweauae th< samp was no longer fenced in. One bairack was occupied by the Get-man women, second by the Fiench and third by us Slavs At that time tha same fate befell us as that of the formerly described Jewesses-th'• "hunger block '' Thus began sys tematlc starvation for us. Only that whi.h was left by the first two groups, was given us. Soon we wen no longer abla to walk We just laid around and sympathised with one another. I still ren ember how we talked about celebrating May Day. but it was not possible beeaus«- all of us were too weak to sing After several fruit lees attempts we began to weep at the hopeUaaness of it all We felt that we would never be free again Really. Peter, if the Amrn cans had come only a frtw days later than they actually arrived, nut oni nt us would have been alive. Aa H happened much to our aui pi is* we heard unusual commotion and pan e on the morning of May 7 Thru our window we saw our lot mentors scurrying wildly to and fro, and before one rwalired, ix-f a soul was la s-g)it Suddenly an enormous lank sp* p»ared before the SH barrack, W shouted for )oy a« much as our exhausted eneigiee permitted, tugged at one another to get rtoaoi U> eur liberators First of all they took away the SS. then they rame to ue. photograph*d us from sll angle«, gave us chocolates, preserves sni cigarettes The day of deliverance hus finally come to ust Disappointed Slowly the transports carried homo the Pole«, Russians and French. At laat, only the Slovenes and u few French were left. Thus another klml of "lager" began for us. buddcnlly the food was bud again« privileges were suspended. This change was most shocking und disappointing Retaliation from the Freneh to our corr.plaints abuut the food were that "in the new Jugoslavia we would not aven get that muck" This was our first disappointment In the Allies. We did not think it just thut they should allow such things to happen, in view of all our suffering and sacrifices for the cause, As a result of our constant complaining and pleading that we lie lent to the Kuaslun sone of occupu Uon, they arranged for our transportation home. For this journey we received very little food despite the fact that we traveled ten days. The Road Back In Prague we had a heart-warming experience in that the Caashs greeted us enthusiastically when they learned we were Jugoslavs, They gave us tea and bread: From Prague to Maribor we had no food whatsoever. But we did nut mind this too much; after all, the realization that every day we were closer to home and truly hon-est-to-goudness liberty, for which we yearned so long, was finally; within our reach. It was evening when we arrived to Ljubljana, Because I had no news from my family, I asked a station attendant if he saw any of them Most likely he thought I was someone else, for he proceeded to say that iny husband wus killed in ac< lion and my children's whereubouts were not known. That night I spent erylng In the repatriated quarters, not knowing where rfr to whom to turn. You can imagine, then, how completely overcome and overjoyed I was in the morning, seeing my husbaiul standing on the threshold, alive and healthy—an officer—captain in th» Army of Li Iteration. Family Reunion Shortly after that my daughter arrived, Oh, happy day I Immediately we went home to our former residence—completely barren, thoroughly robbed. My younger son awaited ua there. During my absence and his life with the Partisans, he changed so much and grew so tall It is a tragic story, but I knew you would be interested. New Jugoslavia You are doubtless familiar w.t't our present way of living. During the time that you sent the package, daughter Jclina married u Partisan, thus our fumily increased by oat member. Because there is such shortage of living quarters, wo ail live together. Othsrwisg we ure do ing well, working hard in recon* structing our new Jugoslavia. Already we have emerged from the biggest crisis und we are no longer faced with starvation. Th* food situation, generally, has tm proved to such a degree that no ony has cause to complain. Of cuurs^, we are still sorely in need of tex* tiles, shoes and raw materials, but the situation is steadily improving, so that next year we will have On ussurunce of standing on our own feet onte more and we will no longet be dependent on the UNRRA help. The fact remains, however, that for this help, niggardly as it wjj, we have paid the Allies dearly during the war, with our blood und supreme sacrifices. Much of this, it is sad to admit, is forgotten today, and those who said they were our dearest friends, now treat us as the r enemies. I don't know If you art familiar with these facts, and per* haps such things are not made known to you, but I think you understand just the same. You must not think for a moment, thut wu don't know what your sym* pathies are, We are certain thai you are 100% with ua. Tha reason for this sudden ohange in the policies of international statesmen to ward us la clear tu us, aa U must be to you, too. But we will not falter. We /eel strong and secure, fnr we have on our side those who alone were instrumental In bringing Hitler's Germany to her knees; those, who helped libera to us and who ar« today the shining example and inspiration of the working classes, Out enough uf this. I became rathtr agitated, didn't IT , Determination In view of all that I went thru during these terrible times, It Is easily understood that I am ua the defensive for what I belief! la true and rightfully ours. There was a time when it was ssid that womun had nu place in polities. This no longer holds with us. We enjoy today the equality, that true and honest equality, which the Jugoslav woman earned and now represent and share In wurk toward the task of reconatructing our new country. For today, Peter, I think a seven page letter will quite suffice; nty hands hurt from all this writing Please write soon and I promise to do the same. Kxcuse sll tha errors.

This and That By Petor Eliah Our Chanpinp World Profound changes are taking plac« in the social and economic Uvea of nations and people. The 1947 world can't, and it will not go back to the days of a generation ago. Those people that would like to aee "the good old days" buck again, even if they could stop the clock, and turn It back would be only deluding themselves. For' iaiaaes-faire as a system of economics can't function in a highlv industrial society. It failed in the balmy days of 1929. Then it had full sway, not only In America, but the world over with the exception of outcast Ruaaia. It was all powerful, it set the rules and did the ruling, und the industrial magnates and their allies controlled the destiny of nutions, aye, the world. November 1920 was their end, In America, we swept the New Deal to power. Today, social security, labor lvgislation, and government regulation and control of certain types of industrial activities are accepted as matter of courae. Even u Bricker is not in favor of scrapping them. Remember the howl that was put up whenever new leghlation waa enacted—the hue and cry about "communism'' and regimentation. We were, according to thrm, marching into the Chains of slavery. Well, we are not in taindage. and I dare say that there is. notwithstanding the sneers of Westbiouk Pegler, more freedom and democracy in this nation since the days of Andy Jackson. There Is a lesson that 1 profoundly believe that we as a nation should understand. A truly democratic government is not an evil. Iri the long run, it is the only instrument that s harassed people poaaeaa to mitigate or remove a social or economic grievance. Tho eaaenev of its very function should be to protect thus« groups who as Individuals ura powerless to ward off the grasping designs of powerful unscrupulous groups. ' Government can be tyrannoua. private Individuals and private interest, too, can be tyrannous, but it Is the duty of democratic government to aee that this doesn't happen. And it is our duty as cillsens to see Uiat our government is truly democratic and fair. ike upper crust / ✓./ A/./. ., tkan uUUtftM . . ly husband told Ike union I kal retain* csused OBSERVATIONS By Frane Podgorski United Nations "t)ome," where will It be?

It distresses British statesmen and innumerable private citizens. Observers testify that anti-Semitism has increased in England since the end of the war, and they attribute the ugly phenomenon, in part, to terrorism in he Holy Land. British Labor leaders, a* well s« som« Tories, declare that it the existing Palestine impasse continues. England will abandon the mandate and throw the entire problem )nto the lap of the United Nations. One has difficulty in deciding whether this is an honest intention or a smart threat. Can Great Britain quit Palestine when it is pulling out of Egypt? What about the oil pipelines that ter minete at Haifa? What about Turkey? Would not the Turks collapse under the nearest British land and air bese in Palestine? Britain's departure from Palestine would alter the entire political picture in the gigantic area between the Persian Gulf end the Sues Canal, and alter it to the disadvantage of England and America and U> the advantage of Russia. IS that is the case, the British argue. "America should support England in Palestine and the Middle East instead of tossing brickbats." "But what does American support mean?" you answer. "The Arabs of Palestine* have little armed strength. They may not revolt, and if they do. two British divisions eould suppress any uprising. The Arab countries—Iraq and Saudi Arabia, for instance—are far away, weak and have their own troubles. They could not march armies into Palestine." A British military expert in Palestine expressed the startling view that the Jews of Palestine could stop the army of Iraq. "We cannot impose* a pro-Zionist settlement which the Arabs will resent for decades." the British spokesman declares. "A world organize tion might try such a measure. But if the British alone did it the planet especially Russia and the United States, would ring with cries of 'British imperialism.'" He takes a breath and adds: "Off the record, why doesn't America take the 100.000 Jewish refugees whom it has been asking Britain to admit into Palestine?" I keep quiet, and then mumble humbly. "Maybe it will accept a few. What ubout Canada, Australia. Brazil, Russia. Argentina?" "The Zionists," my composite British debater asserts, "do not want Jewish immigration into countries other than Palestine. They wish to build up a Jewish majority in Palestine, and then convcrt all of Palestine into a Jewish state. Do you wonder the Arabs oppose Jewish immigration?" "Then why did you promise to establish a Jewish national homeland in Palestine? The Labor Pariy has always l*'n pro-Zonist," I say. "Faced with the practical problem," he replies, "we are ready to consider the setting up of a national homeland for the Jews in Palestine, but that is not the same as giving oil of Palestine to the Jews." "You mean the Herbert Morrison Plan; or partion?" I inquire. Morrison himself thinks his scheme for two more-or-less autonomous provinces in Palestine, one Arab, the other Jewish, with the British in charge and retaining large areas for bases, could serve as the basis of negotiations. When I indicated some of the Plan's defects I am told that none of its features is unalterable. The whole and all its parts are subject to amendments. Ultimately, the provinces would become separate states. Even in the initial stages, the Jews would exercise control over immigration "provided they didn't go completely wild" and open the doors beyond the country's economic absorptive copacity. Elsewhere, In official London, there is sympathy for the immediate Krtition of Palestine into two independent nations. Arab and Jewish, it would they be "viable?" And "will the Arabs agree?" After a moment's thought, "will the Zionists accept?" , The moderate Zionists, one heart, are reconciled to partition, that is to a Jewish state in a section of Palestine. But the extremists in Pales-Une and in the United States want all of Palestine as a new Jewish republic "We negotiate with moderate Zionists." a Cabinet minister said. J they ®nJoy *** ,uW>ort ot th* Zionist movement?" A world Zionist congress m now con ven ng in Switrerland to determine the answer. Partition of Palestine, with the Jews getting sbout half of it as their national home, seems to be the best the Zionists can hope for in present circumstances. The British fear that the gratification of maximum Jewish desires would arouse the ire of the Arab world and lead it into the embraces of Russia. A t a dinner in JenfllTem. Hadar Effondi, the nephew of the Grand Mufti said. If the British adopt a pro-Jewish policy, we will turn for help to Russia A young Arab leader countered.

Spend for Cancer At for A-Bomb This country should be willing to spend us "much or more to conquer canccf as it did. to produce the atomic bomb. That is'the conviction of Dr. "Tom" Parran, surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, qnd he givis these reasons: Approximately. 20,000.000 Americans now living may die of cancer. In the last 30 years, cancer has rircn from the seventh to the second cauae of death. In the four war yeanr cancer killed 03 many Americans as were lost by enemy action t In the face of tills terrible peril. Dr. Parran said, the nation should turn its attention to finding the cause and cure of cancer, "with the Kme vigor and m#»nuity we used to win the war.* + ■i Šii i TVA Example of Labor-Employer Peace! No Strife In an era of turbulent strikes and lockouts, the huge gov't-Tennessee Valley power project is held up as a perfert example of labor and management harmony. The weekly newspaper LABOR, organ of the Railroad Brotherhoods, points up • hirf harmony in a front-page item, deploring the fact that thia news is but little noticed, while strikes always hit the front pages. . TVA's 16,000 employe> are organized in 15 A. of L. unions, LABOR relates, and the bargaining is done ihru the Knoxvilie, Tenn. Trades of Labor Assembly. "Harmony" "The bargaining sessions, an annual affair . . . took place in an atmosphere of genuine harmony." the paper relates. . . Employes presented their request, for wage increases sufficient to bring TVA pay scales up to present prevailing union rates for comparable occupotions in the Valley. "During the past year, the unions have won raises In both manufacture and construction. , The TVA. they felt, should match that... "The evidence said the labor representative, justified a rate of $2 per hour for most of tho skilled crafts. "Cold Sober?" "Discussions were "cold-sober," LABOR (mints out. "and centered on facts and figures. At no timo did cither side raise the threat of a strike or a lockout" "Anyone who looked into our meetings would have agreed that they were a model of economic dem-»craey in action," commented Marion H. Hedges, the employes' representative. Traveler—Your son just threw a tone at me. Irishman—Did he hit you? Traveler—No. # Irishman—Well, then, he wasnt my boy. "Free Enteprizers" Welshing e ^ One result of the recent coal strike was that it has revealed quite plainly that brnefictaries nf the private-profit system were using weasel words when they opposed eeonomlc controls by crying to high heaven for a return of "free enterprise " They didnt want freedom at all.

We s*e that now when we reed their screams of anger against John L Lewia and the miners. They don't want the miners to be free to sell or refuse to tell the only commodity that workers have—namely, their labor power * In that caae they want controls And. to tell the truth, they offer he best po**bte reason for their demand that workers be controlled by the government in their right to strike. The reaeon is thai the na-t on can't live If the freedom to strike ia carried to an ultimate shafW-down. WelMhe workers can't live either and the economy will go into a tail-spin it the freedom'to take profits is not curbed Thn is not a theory; it is an economic truth that has been demonstrated time and again by the many slump« and depression« that developed out of the inability of consumers to pav the high prices that "free" profiteers exacted.

For many open war was preferable. • ■ - v* Big Threes, Fours and Fives, Councils of Ministers, U. N. Council and Assembly sessions have come and gone. Still the pressure, hard-sh.p and uncertainty are unrelieved. Europeans are discontented, restless, perhaps not yet rebellious, but fed-up and disillusioned. They want action, relief. Ever since the war's end they have been voting left. Nowhere in Europe have conserves of the pre-war social order received any wide popular support. The masses have voted Socialist. Communist and left-CathoKc in roughly oqual proportions. ' ij-q Earlier in 1046 the liberal Cathofc parties tended to lead, with the So-calists and Communist« following in that order. The November elections in both Italy and France gave the Communists a moderate lead, with left-Catholics close behind and the Socialists trailing.' The three groups secured about two-thirds of the ballots cast * Perhaps it is too early to describe this tendency in western Europe as a trend. Certainly a trend was present in the Resistance movements during the war. It expressed itself immediately after the war in refusal to surrender arms or disband Resistance organizations, in restless impatience with the ritual of trials, constitutional conventions and trea-ty-making procedures. Only one th ng held West Europe in check at this juncture—the presence of overwhelming numbers of well equipped armies. Then came the United Nations, UNRRA relief, palliatives and glib promises. The people hesitated. Direct Vatican intervention in the earlier 1946 Italian and French elections undoubtedly played an important part In shaping the minds of the voters; those electiops pointed toward the Right. After all a country ike France, with ita economic base In small peasant holdings, its large middle class and its class-conscious big-business policy-makers, is as little likely to vote Communist as any part of Western Europe. Months passed. Still talk, and then more talk. Talk in London. Paris. New %ork. Hateful, bitter, denunciatory talk. Talk without action. Propaganda for landlords, businessmen, kings, empires and the status quo. Propaganda for a crusade against the Soviet Union—in the name of a Christian civilization which had ita 19th-century day of technological advance and world domination, which fumbled its op-portuity to turn the earth into a material paradise and which finally, in its effort to' proserve scarcity and perpetuate its sadly abused privileges, hurled itself bodily into thi consuming flames of world war. Are' West Europeans ready for either socialism or communism? Not yet. But they aro sick to death of the inaction and disintegration which are smudgnig their present and blacking out their future. The industrial centre of pre-war, West Europe was Germany—symbolized by the Ruhr. The Ruhr is now a moss of rubble—pulverized by Anglo-American bombers. Had Anglo-American statesmen—or even the leaders of the British Labor Party—leaped to the fore in July 1945 and insisted that bridges bC rebuilt, factories re-established, fertilizers provided, jobs made and the flow of goods and services restored, they would have won and held the confidence and support of the West Europeans. Instead, the western powers have not yet decided what they wish to do with German industry. For this, stalemate the Soviet Union is not to blame; the British, French and U. S. representatives cannot agree among themselves. While they wrangle. West Europe enters another winter of unnecessary hardships, preventable disease, needless suffer ing. premature death. Is it any wonder tnat the people vote Left" If such conditions persist. Is there anything they can do except move farther left? WHILE WEST EUROPE was fretting and stagnating, what was hsp-pening in the East, behind the Iron Curtain? Msny people believe there is no way of finding out; this attitude to the result of listening to Churchill's monarchist, imperialist patter and watching the futile, tiresome efforts of Mr Bevin and Mr Byrne« to forge their Iron Ring around the Soviet territory. Meanwhile a conservative reporter for a newspaper that has done its utmost to help feege the Iron Ring has reported on h Tito with all the energy they car. muster. Nor do I doubt that there *re nrany Jugoslavs who. with Krav Jienko. would gladly "choose freedom.'• If they do. they will surely be able to sell magazine articles and books at a handsome proM. for th delectation of Mr. Churchill « *up porters, but they will have littls or no of feet in hclpng the JugisUv people to ijccovor from their teir bi-waV losses and build * world than the one which the and the civil war destroyrd.
