London. 18. febr,—Tu priznavajo, da je sklenitev nenapadal-naga pakta med Bolgarijo in Turčijo dokaz porasti vpliva na-cijake Nemčije v južnovzhodni Evropi, dasi komentarji v londonskih liatih, objavljeni danes zjutraj, naglašajo, da se situacija na Balkanu ni izpremenila. Turčija je še vedno nezavojeva-na zaveznica Velike Britanije.
Sklenitev pakta je izzvala različna ugibanja v angleških uradnih in drugih krogih. Nekateri menijo, da ae obaeg nacijskega vpliva lahko razgali v nenadnem naznanilu, da ae bodo vse prizadete balkanske države postavile na stran oaišča Rim-Berlin in sodelovale z njim pri postavitvi novega reda" v Evropi.

Farmer-laboriti v Minnesoti v pesteh komunistov
Minneapolis. — Ob koncu januarja se je v Minneapolisu vršila konvencija farmarako-de-lavske stranke v Minnesoti in komunisti ter njihovi sopotniki so s pomočjo svoje gangeške taktike ugrabili kontrolo zborovanja in vodstvo atranke. Na njihov diktat je bila poražena resolucija v prilog Roosevelto-vemu načrtu za večjo pomoč Angliji in poražen je bil predlog za sodelovanje z Rooseveltovimi demokrati. Bivši farmarsko-delavski governer Benson je danes popolnoma v pesteh komunistov in tako je tudi bivši kongreanik John Bernard, ki je zdaj generalni organizator komunistične podporne organizacije IWO.

Mehika objavila senzacionalno poročilo
Mexico City. 18. febr.—Senzacionalno poročilo, du ao Hitler-evi agentje in zarotniki aktivni v Severni in Južni Ameriki, e bilo tu objavljen^. To omenja, da so ti skovali načrte glede sabotaže ameriških obrambnih priprav. Poročilo še ni bilo uradno potrjeno. Glavni stan zarotnikov je baje v Philadel-phiji, Pa.
(Državni department v Wa-shingtonu je izjavil, da je poro-1HI0 nejasno in sliči drugim, katera stalno prejema ta department.)
Mehiški krogi opisujejo zaroto kot prvi korak v nacijskih naporih, katerih cilj je nacijska ekonomaka kontrola zapadne hemisferf. V zaroti je zapletenih več organizacij, katere tvorijo nemški naciji, komunisti In španaki falangisti (fašisti). Glavni namen zarotnikov je preprečitev ameriške pomoči Veliki Britaniji, sabotaža ameriških obrambnih priprav in podžiga-nje sovraštva proti Združenim državam v latinskih republikah, izgredov in stsvk.

Kanadski premier ; vidi novo krizo
Brittki imperij mora biti pripravljen
OM»wa, Kanada, 18. febr.— "Moment velike krize ae naglo bliža," je izjavil premier W. L. Mackenzie King v svojem govoru, ko se je parlament aeatal v novem zasedanju. Premier je napovedal, da bo sovražnik v bližnji bodočnosti napel vse sile, da zdrobi britski imperij. Naciji bodo skušali invadirati Anglijo, istočasno pa bodo prišli sunki proti Sueškemu prekopu. Možn'iet je, da bo Japonaka inapadla Singapor, strategično angleško pomorsko bazo na Daljnem vzhodu. Iz tega razloga mora biti britaki imperij pripravljen na odbijanje udarcev, kjerkoli pridejo.
King je pohvalil ameriško vlado, ki pomaga Veliki Britaniji v njeni borbi proti Nemčiji In Italiji. Dejal je, da Amerika stoji visoko nad agresivnimi državami. Ona se zaveda, da njena bodočnost, vernost In demokracija rav»se od izida sedanje

V tem vidijo možnost, da bo vojna v Južnovzhodni Evropi kmalu zaklju čena in da bosta Nemčija in Ita lija dosegli svoje cilje brez rabe orožja.

Glede vprašanja, da bi imeli vojo dvorano, ja zelo dobra deja in jo tudi jaz z veseljem odpiram. Ali do tega cilja smo t daleč. Gotovo se še nekateri pominjate, da smo nekoč ogledali tisto poslopje poleg pivo-arne, ki bi ga bili dobili za ce-io stavbišča, in to v primernem asu.
Kar se tiče prirejanja plesov i mladino, je dobro—teh je ploh dosti v mestu. Ampak na »lesih se ne more mladini razla-iti pomen in načela društva in idnote.

Za koledar
Bsllsire. O.—Naše društvo 258 SNPJ je n^ zadnji seji razprav-jalo glede koledarja SNPJ in zaključilo, da bi bil velik udarec za jednoto, če bi ga prenehala izdajati. Stenski koledarji so za jednoto propagandistično orodje. Odkar jih izdaja, so pritegnili na letne seje že veliko članov. Tudi veliko novih članov so agitatorji pridobili s pomočjo koledarjev, ki krasijo stanovanja članstva.
Zdaj pa je prišel izvršni odsek sred nas in pojasnjuje, kakor se članstvo naveliča vsake stvari, tako»se je menda naveličalo tudi koledarja. Ampak temu ni tako. Nekateri pravijo, koliko bi se ahko pomagalo starim in onemoglim članom s tisto vsoto, ki se izda za koledarje. Ampak nam se dozdeva, da bi se morali drugače žrtvovati za stare in onemogle.
Če hoče članstvo pogledati v bodočnost, lahko vidi, kako velik udarec bi bil za organizacijo, če preneha s stenskimi koledarji. Caj nam pomaga, če se finančno razvijemo v multimilijonarsko organizacijo, če pa izgubimo bratske ideale in demokratične jrincipe, na katerih je osnovana SNPJ? Če bi bil upravni odsek potrošil tisočak več za'koledar, n bilo okey. Koliko pa bodo de-legatje potrošili, če pride ta stvar na dnevni red na konvenciji?
kar bi znašalo po 3% $150,000 in to vsoto vložili v posebni sklad, iz katerega bi podpirali stare in onemogle Člans? Obresti iz tega fonda po 3% bi znašale $4500 na leto in ako bi članstvo privolilo, ds bi plačevalo po pet centov na mesec v t* sklad, kar bi prineslo okrog $22,800 na leto, bi skupna vsota znašala $27,300. Na ta način bi se beda onemoglih članov znatno zmanjšala. Vse to je seveda odvisno, ako nam dr-
žavni sakon to dovoljuje. Ako vovrstne^a igralca, marveč tudi
stvar zavisi samo od članov, je zadeva za nas enostavna; treba bi jo dati le članstvu na splošno glasovanje in ako bi se večina izrekla za, bi bil problem rešen.
Našo organizacijo so večinoma zasnovali naši stari bratje pre-mogarji s sodelovanjem ostalih bratov in sester, ki so delali po tovarnah. In baš ti bratje so danes najbolj prizadeti, ker današ
Ni pa računala kaj se lahko zgodi, če osramočeni snubcj napravijo zaroto proti takemu ošabnemu dekletu, ki daje snubcem košarice. Star je že pregovor, ki pravi, da kdor visoko leta, ta nizko pade. Da bo tudi županova hči plačala za svojo prevzetnost, bomo videli v igri "Ku-rentova nevesta."
V glavni vlogi Kurenta ne bo nihče drugi kot Frank Plut. To je vloga, ki ne zahteva samo pr
legatje vživall rajske oranžne nlco z banketom, na katerem bo- za pridobivanje novih članov, nasade, iz katerih puhtijo blago- do nastopili poleg govornikov kjerkoli je nastopil. Da nam je
nja plutokracija gleda samo na profite, ki so ji omogočili, da je zadnje čase natrpala rove z razno mašinerijo, ki meče delavstvo na cesto. To premogarje danes najbolj tepe, kakor tudi ostalo delavstvo.
Torej bratje in sestre, polagam vam na srce mojo sugestijo in se zamislite vanjo, ako imate malo samaritanskega čuta v sebi. Zakaj naj bi držali tako ogromno vsoto premoženja, na drugi strani pa gledali tako žalostne posledice starih in onemoglih Članov. Treba je, da vložimo večjo vsoto v prej sugesti-rani sklad. Moje mnenje je, da bi prenesli v ta sklad milijon dolarjev. Če "bi to storili, bi samo ta milijon prinesel okrog $30,000 obresti na leto, s katero vsoto bi se že dalo izdatno pomoči starim članom in bi ne rabili nobenega izrednega ali višjega asesmenta v ta namen. (Tega zakon ne dovoljuje, kot tudi ne prenosa obresti v smislu vaše prve sugestije.—Ured.) In tako bi bil volk sit in koza cela.
Torej bratje in sestre, tukaj vam podajam dva predloga. Prvi ali drugi bi bil zadovoljiv in v korist vsem. Iz srca bi bil hvaležen, ako bi se to moglo zgoditi in tako urediti. Če je to izvedljivo, tedaj naj bi se pri vsakem društvu izbrali trije člani, ki bi preiskali okolnosti dotičnega člana, ki prosi pomoči iz tega sklada in nato rezultat predložili gl. tajniku, ki bi prošnjo odobril ali zavrgel po uvidevnosti. Glavno besedo bi seveda imel glavni odbor. Ako bi omenjeni sklad ne zadostoval potrebam, naj bi se starim in onemoglim članom pomagalo samo šest ali sedem mesecev na leto, kar bi pokazala bodočnost.
Sedanji sistem, po katerem si vsak član lahko izposodi za ases-ment iz rezerve svojega certifikata, naj bi še ostal. To so moje sugestije. Vem, da

Za pomoč društvu v Floridi Chicago, 111. — Čital sem apel društva 603 SNPJ iz Samsule, Fla., priobčen v tem listu dne 5. februarja. Podpisani odbor in pa še nekaj drugih tamkajšnjih kmetovalcev poznam osebno in vem, da so zaupanja vredni možje. Z dopisom vred je bils pri-občena tudi slika po viharju razdejane društvene dvorane, katero bi radi ponovno zgradili, pa nimajo dovolj sredstev, zato se obračajo na vsa društva SNPJ za gmotno pomoč. Ker pa so imeli posojilo že na prvo stavbo, in vsi vemo, da je v novejših slovenskih kmetskih naselbinah zelo težko spraviti skupaj denar za narodne domove, jim bodo brez-dvomno vsa naša društva po možnosti pomagala.
Jaz bi celo priporočal, da jim dajmo v toliki meri pomagati, da bodo zamogli postaviti dovolj veliko dvorano, v kateri naj bi se vršila ena izmed bodočih konvencij SNPJ! V tem slučaju bi seveda konvencijo obdržavali po-, S. Livernois.

Mogoče se bo to zdelo nekaterim preveč fantastično, vendar pa je stvar lahko izpeljiva, če je članstvo v Samsuli zadovoljno; Prepričan sem, da bi to znatno pomagalo k razvoju naselbine, ker bi se marsikak delegat preselil tja, njim pa bi sledili še drugi. Zato pa se lahko zgodi, da se bo to zaobrnilo V srečo v nesreči ter postavilo naselbino "na zemljevid", kot se pravi po ameriško. Naj se zgodi glede mojega ugibanja karkoli, jaz vam, bratje in sestre v Samsuli, želim mnogo uspehov pri nabiranju tega fonda in pri gradnji nove in večje dvorane! (Drugo bo v dnevniku.—ured.)

Vprašanje stsrlh člsnov
Manafleld, O. — Kot 25-letni član naše dobre organizacije či-tam razne dopise od naših jed-notarjev. Nekateri so dobri, drugi zopet malo slabši. Med slednjimi smatram onega, v katerem je dopisnik menil, da priporočilo br. Ludvika Medveška iz Clevelanda ni vredno piškave-ga boba.
Čital sem tudi dopis br. Jurce od društva 121 iz Detroita, v katerem priporoča, ,da bi nekaj ukrenili za stare in onemogle člane, ki težko zmagujejo ases-ment. Njegovo priporočilo se mi dopade. On sugestira, naj bi vsak član plačal pet ali deset centov asesmenta v* posebni iklsd, kar bi bilo hvalevredno, le žal, da je to jako malo. Po de-»et centov na mesec od člana bi prineslo $4560 na leto, ako nas ie 38,000 v odraslem oddelku 'Po lOc od člana bi prineslo 53800 na mesec ali $45,600 na leto na podlagi 38,000 članov — Ured.) Recimo, da bi bilo treba oomagati 1000 starim in j»emo-<?lim članom iz tega sklada. Na 1rugi strani pa bi tudi članstvo ne bilo zadovoljno, ker je asss-ment že sedsj dovolj velik. To bi nam škodovalo tudi pri pridobivanju novih članov.
Moja sugestijs je sledeče: Re-•imo, ds i ms jednots okrog nem milijonov dolarjev premočen js. Zakaj ne bi vzeli enoletne obresti od petih milijonov,

Sedaj pa živimo v najbogatejši deželi na svetu in se trudimo, da si zaslužimo za vsakdanji kruh. Včasih si privoščimo tudi malo zabave v razvedrilo.
V ta namen bo našs društvo Sloga 16 SNPJ priredilo predpu-stno zabavo, ki se vrši v soboto zvečer, 22. febr., v dvorani K. P.
Detroit. — Tukaj v Detroitu imamo Slovenci dva domova. E-den se imenuje Slovenski delavski dom, drugi pa Slovenski narodni dom. Oba dobro napredujeta in v obeh je dobra postrežba. Tudi gospodinjske klube imata oba, ker žene pač držimo tri vogale pri hiši in tudi tukaj nekaj pomagamo. Ampak potrebujemo tudi moških, ker oni prinašajo dobiček. Torej delajmo skupaj in zahajaj mo v naše domove, ker tam gotovo dobimo prijatelja.
Gospodinjski klub SDD bo v nedeljo popoldne, 23. febr., priredil predpustno veselico. Vr-šils se bo v nedeljo, ker je ne moremo prirediti v soboto rsdi oddsne dvorsne. Torej pridite od blizu in daleč. Pričetek ob 2. pop. Tudi sem nekaj slišala, da nas bo presenetil gospodinjski klub SND. Torej le pridite in vas bomo veaele, v bodoče pa vrnile.

lep napredek v vseh ozlrih. S pomočjo teh krožkov smo pridobili lepo število novih članov v jednoto.
Posebno zaslugo pri tem moramo p r i z n a ti mladinskemu pevskemu zboru The Junior AU Stara Chorusu, ki je s svojim ljubkim petjem Širil propagando
bilo mogoče vzdržati ta pevski zbor na tej višini napredka, se pa moramo zahvaliti soc. pevskemu zboru Napreju, ki je nudil mladinskemu zboru ves čas njegovega obstanka vso svojo pomoč in sodelovanje.
Vsied tega se zastopniki društev, zbrani na letni seji naše federacije, iskreno zahvaljujejo Napreju za njegovo pomoč in sodelovanje in Spriirajn na vse članstvo SNPJ v tem okrožju, da upošteva to bratsko naklonjenost in ob času Naprejevlh priredb skušajo povrniti s čim večjo udeležbo.
Nadalje se zahvaljujemo še sledečim članom, ki so največ pripomogli za razvoj in napredek naših krožkov: M. Smoletu, L. Schweigerju, Heleni Ambro-zlch, J. Poklarju in Franku Er-mencu ml.

Redna seja gospodarskega odseka SNPJ se je vršila 14. dec. m. 1. v jednotinem uradu ob 8:30 dopoldne. Navzoči so vsi odborniki razen blagajnika. Zapisnik seje z dne 12. okt. se sprejme.
Petrovič poroča, da je prelskal zadevo posojila 3-J v znesku $600, čijega dolžnik je bil ubit v avtni nezgodi in zapušča pet o-trok, kateri no večinoma odrasli. Vrednost posestva se csni na okrog $3500 ln plačila na prvo vknjižbo so redna. Svetuje, da odsek skuša izterjati obresti na drugo vknjižbo, kar se soglasno potrdi.
Dalje je prelskal zadevo za-dolžnic firme Tiedke Stores in pronašel, da gotove stranke skušajo dobiti te zadolžnice. Vider dostavlja, da so se zadevno zadolžnice po zadnji seji prodale po vrednostni ceni z obrestmi. U-poštevajoč dejstvo, da so bile stavljene razne ponudbe za te zadolžnice po ceni od $75 do $94 ln da so bile te ponudbe odklonjene, je dokaz, da je odsek postopal pravilno. Izvršila se je kup-čljska pogodba posestva z jedno-tinim posojilom 33-J.
Od J. Burufaldija iz Sygana, Pa., je prejel pismo, da pride v Cleveland skupina jednotinlh članov v zadevi dobave posojila za tamkajšnji dom, ki je že končan. Pojasnil Jim i« način poslovanja v takih zadevah ln o-mejltve, ki so v veljavi, zato Jim ni mogel obljubiti, da se posojilo izvede.
Pravnik Philip B. Heller Je šel v Cleveland v zadevi zadolžnlc Union Terminala Jn je z njim govoril po telefonu. Pojasnil mu je, da po točki 77-B je bilo predloženih par načrtov za reorga-nlzlranjc korporaclje Union Terminal, a večina teh je bila odklonjena, sodišče pa je odobrilo enega, kateri bi nudil lastnikom zadolžnic vrednostno eenO za njih vlc^e. Komisija Security Exchange jo pa to odklonila zato, ker ni imejo posestvo »iovolj veljsve, da se bi refinsneiralo na podlag! vrodnostne cene.

Kaj
moremo mi?
Dosti krst smo že zapisali v Prosveti, da je moč slovenskih delavcev v Ameriki omejena le na naša domača prizadevanja—ns nate jed-note in zveze, naše liste in kulturne stvari— dočim smo v politiki na splošno tako raztreseni in izgubljeni, da—izvzemši morda v Cleve-landu in še kje, kjer nas je več skupaj—ne štejemo nič. Po Ameriki na splošno nimamo
nobene odločilnosti, ker nas je premalo.	_______# ___________
Saj še sami med seboj nismo bili nikdar eili- j bi se lahko shajali člani ni in najbrže nikdar ne bomo. To so pravi, da Jate! j i in kjer se striktno delimo na tri tabore, katoliškega, svobodomiselnega in "nevtralnega," kar dokazujejo naše podporne organizacije, naši listi in našo kulturne aktivnosti. Na primer razdsljs med slovensko svobodomiselno nsselbino in slovensko kstoliško naselbino v Chicagu je za večino pripadnikov na obeh straneh tako velika kot je razdalja med Ameriko in Kitajsko— čeprav bi lahko prišli skupaj v 18 minutah, če bi hoteli. Samo v Chicagu šive rojaki 30 let in še več, ki niso še nikdar prišli skupaj in sploh se osebno no poznsjo ssmo zsrsdi ideoloških rszlik. To je nepobitno dejstvo.
Ts dejstvs nss lshko uverijo, kako smo še sami med seboj razcepljeni in vsled tega im-potentni, da bi kaj dosegli kot Slovenci ali kot slovenski delavci v splošnem ameriškem živ-Iju—no da bi mogli fantastično računsti, da bodo Američani v splošnem nas poslušali, kadar se prepiramo med seboj v majhnih skupinah in skupinicah o splošnih ameriških problemih ali celo o svetovnih zadevah.
Kljub temu se prepiramo, ognjevito prepiramo na primer, ali sili Ameriks v vojno sli ne, sli ima Roosovolt prsv ali no in o tisoč in eni drugi stvari, o kateri nimamo mi absolutno nobene odločilne besede.
Ne rečemo, da se nas to nič ne tiče; sleherna Javna stvar, ki se tiče slehernega Američana, se prav gotovo tiče tudi nas. Vsi smo prizadeti, torej imamo vsi pravico, da v demokraciji povemo svoje misli, kako sodimo o vsem tem. Do tu je vse dobro.
Ampak vsaka stvar ima svoje mesto. Politika je dobra na svojem mestu. Kadar imamo politično pritoibo, zakaj ne gremo h politiku, ki Ima vpliv? Zakaj no gremo k senatorju ali kongresniku in mu ne povemo, ds so njegovi predlogi zsnič in njegovo glssovsnje je škodljivo za nas delsvco? To bi več zaleglo kakor pa sto člankov in dopisov v naši Proiveti. Senator ali kongresnik ne čtta naših člankov ali dopisov in čisto nič ne ve, da se mi o nečem prepiramo in čemu se prepiramo, če mu pa povemo na ušesa, bo vedel.
ml se prepiramo v naši Prosveti dan za dnevom in teden za tednom o vprašanjih, katerih ne bomo nikdar rešili, ker jih mi sami enostavno ne moremo rešiti; rešiti jih moremo le akupno z Američani vred. Zakaj torej ne gremo k Američanom, namesto da iztresamo jezo drug na drugega med nami In zbadamo drug drugega med sabo, kakor da smo edino mi tisti, ki odrešimo svet? —

Akcija za izletniške prostore
|Dotroit. — Zadnjih par mesecev smo bili pri društvih in drugih organizacijah zelo zaposleni z volitvami uradnikov. Zadnje leto smo večkrat čitali pritožbe od detroitske federacije, da je premalo aktivnosti. Upam, da se bo v tem izboljšalo.
Za tekoče leto sem tudi jaz prevzol zastopništvo pni društvu 121.? s prvo sejo federacije sem ml zadovoljen ln tudi pri volit-
vi odbora ni bilo težkoč. iNa te asesment novemu društvene-
dnevni red je zopet prišla sugestija, da federacija nabavi izletniške prostore pri kakšnem j ru za naša društva. Moje mnenje je, da bi bilo to zelo koristno za naše članstvo.' Večina naših ljudi ima zdaj avte in vsakdo gre rad iz mesta v poletnem času.
Jezerov imamo v Michiganu veliko — 30 do 40 milj od de-troita Jih je mnogo. Gotovo ni lahko dobiti dober prostor, ker so že zelo razprodani, ampak u pam, da se Še dobijo. Seveda bi ga bjlo treba urediti, da bi odgovarjal potrebam. Mnogo naših rojakov in tudi jaz sam zahajamo le zadnjih 16 let ob sobotah n nedeljah v prosto nsraVo k jezerom, ampak do danes še nimamo avojih prostorov, na katerih
in pri-bi se lahko bolj domače zabavali kakor pri tujih narodih. Nekaj naših rojakov si jo nabavilo lastne prostore pri jeseru in si zgradili msle poletne hišice In žrtvovali v to svrho tri do štiri tieočake.
Ne vem zakaj ne bi mogH vsi člani 8npj imeti skupnega letovišča, saj nas je skoro tisoč v Detroitu. Nisem mnenja, da bi morali imeti prostor ssmo za piknike, ker z njimi je dosti dels n navadno malo uspeha; bolj so potrebni za razvedrilo naših članov in prijateljev. Dobili naj bi prostor pri Jezeru, kjer bi bilo pripravno tudi za kopanje, za i-granje toge in za balinanje; starejšimi smo že bolj podvrženi revmatismu, bi se pa lahko na solticu greli in jednoti bi mogoče ne bilo treba plačati toliko podpore. Jaz mislim, da bi bilo to coristno za vse.
Seveda, prostori bi morsll odgovarjati, nekaj se bomo morsll pa tudi žrtvovati. Najbolj težko vprašanje je seveda, kje dobiti finance. Nekatera dhištva so pripravljena prispevati dolar za vsakega člana, lahko bi napravili 2fic vstopnine od vsakega avta kot 'imajo povsod), nekaj pa bi se tudi od posameznih članov dobilo. Po mojem mnenju je stvar zvedljlva. Imamo že odbor izvoljen v to svrho In upam, da bo našel kak primeren proator. Na društva bi apeliral, da bi razpravljala o tem, ako so priprav-jena sodelovati.
Obenem telim tudi naznaniti dctroitskim društvom in roja-com, da priredi pevski zbor Svo->oda koncert z opereto v nedeljo, 80l marca, v Slovenskem delav-skom domu ns sapadtti strani. Želimo, ds bi društva ne prire-ala zabav na ta dan |n da nas prijatelji obiščejo v velikem številu. Voč o tem posneje. Pri Svobodi smo zadnje čase dobili precej mladih moči. Apeliramo na vse v Detroitu. ki imajo veselje do petja, da ae nam pridružijo. Kdor nima posluha in glasu, lahko postane podporni član Svobodo {10c na mesec) In s tem pomaga pevskemu sboru, ker
vidi, da Jih že preveč stane in tudi kritizirajo, da je naša jednota preveč stroga pri bolniški podpori in nadziranju bolnikov.
Naj so zopet povrnem k plačevanju asesmenta. Jaz sem moral nekaj članov vedno zalagati in doetikrat potrositi kak dolar. Končno som se odločil, naj ima še kdo drugi par let sitnosti kakor som jih imel jsz in kakor jih ima vssk društveni, tajnik. Torej, bratje in sestre, pošiljaj-
mu tajniku Johhu Shafferju.
Bratje, ne mislim nikogsr žaliti, toda obžalujem, ker so naše soje Uko slabo obiskane, da bi se skoro ne mogle vršiti. Naj bi se tudi mladina malo zanimaU, kar pa je odvisno od sUršev.
Skoraj v vsaki Prosveti vidim dopise, ki kritizirajo letošnji stenski koledar jednoU. To izgleda bolj kot osebnost in naj bi bilo Uga enkrat konec. Ko-, ledarji so majhni in lušni.
John Kauclc, 537.
mu zavijanje resnice o Uj stvari? ,
Koliko je dotični bolnik igral za denar, mi ni znano, ker nisem bil nikdar obiskovalec igralnih lokalov. Ali je morda doticnik, ki ga je videl igrati, sam igral z njim? —
Glede onega čUna, ki je "za-vihUl stol nad svojim bratom", ni br. Pečnik povedal vsega; ni povedal, s kakšnimi nesramnimi izrazi je bil ¿Un ozmerjan — vse je bil, samo človek ne. Ni pošteno, če se pokaže na prestopek, vzrok ps, ki izzove prestopek, se zamolči.
Br. Pečnik piše, kako smo zanemarili agiUcijo za društvo in dali priliko katoliškim društvom, da so pobraU našo mladino. Zakaj ni zapisal, da ni bilo čaaa, ker "smo agitirali od hiše do hiše za druge stvsri, za druge klube in delali smo, da smo čim bolj diskreditirsli društvo o-rel . i ." Ker mu je Uko dobro Stfano koliko otrok so dobili pri društvuKSKJ, kje Je bil on Uk-rst, da ni tega preprečil in pri-peljal onih 300 otrok k našemu društvu? Kaj pomaga to klepe-Unje po tolikih letih?
■PfH	IP „ že SNPJ in tukajšnja federacija
Vzel je tudi številke iz drušV&skočili na pomoč s čednimi venih knjig in našul napredek fandevki. OsUlo pa je seveda za časa svojega Ujništva. Odde-v ¿jJjVečje mere odvisno nas
lek odraslih je napredoval za 18 članov, mladinski oddelek je pa padel za 30 Članov. Res lep napredek! Da pokaže mojo nesposobnost, je navedel koliko novih članov je dobil prejšnji predsednik v šestih letih. Vidim, da je pozabil, zato mu obudim spomin, da sem samo v letu 1939 pridobil sledeče nove člane: ^¿osephine Babnik, Fr. Hribar in Mary Bol-tezar. Povedal sem Ujniku, naj gre k Zupančiču in dobil bo člana za mladinski oddelek, nakar ga je dobil. Zakaj ne pove imen novih članov, ki jih je on sam dobil? Resnica je, da so največ novih članov predlagali drugi lojalni člani SNPJ. Kako je to, da Ujnik ne more niti svoje žene pripeljati v društvo Orel v dvajsetih lotih? —
Br. Pečnik je "zašpelal" svoj dopis s pozivom na braUtvo in prijateljstvo. O bože, kako ma-
Pueblski prepir Pueblo. Colo. — Primoran sem nekoliko odgovoriti br. Pečniku, ki me hoče v javnosti pokazati za nepoštenjaka za časa mojega dolgoletnega predsodništva pri našem društvu Orel št. 21 snpj. v svojem dopisu pravi, da mi hoče obuditi spomine iz društvene zgodovine. Mojo društveno delovanje jo bilo vedno čisto in pošUno napram čUnstvu in načelom snpj.
Ker se je br. Pečnik doUknil nekaterih društvenih stvari, glede IcaUrih ni bil nikdar moj namen, da bi prišle v Javnost, bom pa jaz osvetli te stvari z druge strani in brez vsakega zavijanja.
Zadeva iz leU 1929. Nikdar nisem mislil, da bo br. Pečnik poskušal tisto reč obesiti ru mcjlo še sam drži Uga! jo osebo. Kdo Je pa orgahiziriJ;" neko kliko, ki je hodiU od člana* do člana s pritiskom za nove de-legaUke volitve, čeprav so bile prvo volitve pravilne? Kdo je pobral glasovnice z mize in jih potem poslal na konvencijo? To je treba pojasniti, če hočemo po tolikih letih spet mešsti staro godlo, katere Boltezar ni skuhal, a tudi ne bo pustil, da bi jo nje^ mu servirali. _ t Zadeva glede pekega trgovca, katerem br. Pečnik pravi, da sem gs jaz pripeljal na društveno sejo. Resnics je, da ga Jae nisem pripeljal. Prišel Je sam, kajti to pravico je imel kot član snpj in kot Uk je lahko dobil tudi besedo. Če Je pa u član kasneje grozil jednoti s tožbo za $20,000, kaj som imel jaz pri tem opraviti? Ali miali br. Pečnik, da sem jaz odgovoren sa njegove grožnjo? Mslo voč možatosti sem pa res pričakoval od njega.
Sedaj pa k zadevi iz leta 1937. Kdo jo takrat hodi od člana do člana in pripovedoval, da je gl. predsednik Vincent Cainkar pisal, da Boltezar ne sme biti izvoljen za delogaU? Po čegavih na vodilih so Je to vršilo? Br. Csin-kar lahko pojasni, če je res u-ko pisal sli ne — in če ni tega nikomur pissl, kdo je zlorabil ime gl. predaodnika?
Kaj pa zadeva glede Pape? No spominjam se. ali jo bilo Uu 1923 ali 1924 in tudi ne vem, če Je bil Papa član snpj. o, ds, Papa je ps lshko sgitirsl pred člsni snpj, ds naj zmečejo gL odbornike iz urada!
Frank BolUaar. 21. Pripomba uredništva! Br. Vincent Cainkar je informiral uredništvo, da ni nikdar pisal nikomur v Pueblu, koga naj volijo za delogaU ali koga ne smejo voliti. Prosimo brsU v Pueblu, nsj prenehajo s tem pričkanjem, s katerim ssmo jemljejo prostor v glasilu zs stvarne razprave, sami pa ne bodo s tem dosegli ničesar drugega kot osebno mrž-njo, katero jo brez Uga preveč med nami. Ne verjamemo, da se naše članstvo po drugih krsjih zanima za te lokalne prepire, ki se zelo slabo podajo sUrim pionirjem in dozorelim možem.
ko pomislimo, da je "štrajk" naših žena Uko popolen, da je približno le še 13% naših članic, ki se niso izneverile svojemu "pri-rodnemu poklicu".
Kakor pri drugih društvih jednoU, je tudi pri nas kampanja za nove člane, in sicer ne samo začasno, pač pa sUlno Ako jednoU ne plača zdravniške preiskave novim članom, jo plačamo pa iz društvene blagajne; u-ko plačamo zdravniško preiskavo tudi onim, ki prestopijo iz mladinskega v odrasli oddelek in se žele zavarovati za voč kot $500 amrtnine in $1 dnevne bolniške podpore. Torej, ako izvesU za kakega kandidaU v Uj okolici, samo sporočite mi ime in naslov, drugo opravim jaz kot "sluga društva", nagrado pa prepustim vsm. » *
Nsša skupna "Recreation" farma snpj bo, kot izgleda, letos dobiU električno razsvetljavo, s katero bomo lahko, ne le dostojno razsvetljili prostore, marveč jo tudi uporabili kot pogonsko silo za vodovod in deloma za proizvajanje godbe "v razvedrilo po-setnikom". v u namen nam sU
splošnega tukajšnjega čUnstva. Torej, ako vas kdo pobara z listki, no odrecite mu tudi letos dati desetico narodnega davka.
Na farmi bo letošnji posetnik že sedsj našel precej spremembe, za kar moramo dati priznanje oskrbniku farme, ki je presadil lepo število dreves, Uko da bo v doglednem času tudi Um sencs, kjer je bils do sedsj goli-čava. Tudi v dvorani je napravil več novih oken j, Uko da bo več zraka tudi za pleaalce v poletnem času.
"Fantje se zbirajo ..Da, tudi pri našem društvu je več 'fejst fantov', za katerimi ne 'škilijo' le dekleU, marveč tudi Stric Sam jim je pismo poslal. Priporočam, da se pred odhodom zglasijo pri Ujniku, da urede vse potrebno v zvezi z njih statusom pri društvu.
To bo za enkrat dovolj, člani Mira pa ne pozabiU priti na prihodnjo sejo.

Od društva Mir
Cleveland. — Na zadnji seji našega društva Mir 142 SNPJ smo Imeli v pretresu tudi vprašanje stenskih koledarjev, ki so letos dvignili toliko prshu med člsnstvom. Vsled pičlegs poaeU na seji smo stvar odložili na prihodnjo sejo. Po mojem mnenju so tudi letošnji koledsrčki zadovoljili pretežno večino članatva, iz j ems je le drobni tisk na njih. kar naj glavni urad v bodoče u-pošteva. Da bi radi tega nedo-k ta tka pri letošnjem koledarju o-puatili njih izdajanje, bi bilo nesmiselno, ker to bi pomenilo ko-rsk nazaj namesto naprej.
Bolniki pri našem društvu se množe kot gobe po dežju. Nekateri pridejo do poškodb, kar je znamenje, da se nekoliko bolje dela, druge pa napade U ali o-na bolezen, zadnje čase pa se je pojavila tudi "flu". Torej člani. bodite oprezni in skrbiU, da bo vaš asesment plačan pravočasno, da vas ne doleti bolezen nepripravljene.
Kot je razvidno iz poročila gU-vnega urada (priobčeno v zadnji obligatnl Prosveti), Je naše društvo po šUvilu članstva prikorakalo bfpv pred prsg društva Naprej št. 5. Ako se bo razmerje stopnjevalo v Um pravcu tudi nadalje, bo v prihodnjem polletnem poročilu naše društvo "way over the top" — seveda, če nas ne bodo prehiteli chicaškl Pionirji. ki nas že kar praskajo po petah Pri tem se imamo zahvaliti edino dejstvu, da ae je pri nas vedno pazilo na močan mladinski oddelek, is katerega je da-

St^Louia, M o. — Dne 8. febr. so naši mladi čUni in ČUnlce priredili "bam dance", ki se je prav dobro obnesel. Prav lepo je bilo videti toliko mladine škupaj, ki se je veselo sukala pozno v noč. Posebno se je pokazalo tukajšnje angleško poslujoče društvo Špirit of St. Louis snpj. se na nobeni veselici jih ni bilo toliko. Hvala vam, ob priliki vam vrnemo.
Tukajšnja društva so se pričela pripravljati na skupni piknik ki nam bo dal priliko, da se enkrat v poletju vsi skupaj snidemo in veselimo v prOsti naravi Pevsko društvo Zvon priredi zs-bavo lh. aprila. Zapelo bo več slovenskih in tudi eno sngleško Prosimo druga društva, da u večer ne prirejajo svojih zabav. a-ko bo mogoče, bo podana tudi kratka igra. ^
Opozarjam članstvo in ursdni-ke društva 107 snpj, da se udeležite seje četrti petek v mesecu, to je 28. febr., ob 7:30 zvečer v navadnih prostorih. Posebno pa plačaj u u dan svoj asesment, ker drugi dan, 1. marca, mora Ujnik knjige zaključiti in odpo-slati asesment v glavni urad. Tudi ne smemo pozabiti da je v teku kampanja za nove čUno in da je letoa konvenčno leto.

V	nedeljo popoldne se je vršila proslava 30. letnice društva Zavedni sosedje št. 158 SNpj v Euclidu, o. Udeležba je bila krasna; sliial sem, da ni bila dvorana Slovenskega doma k dolgo časa tako nabito polna. Program je bil lep. Najprvo je nagovoril občinstvo Ahacij Prežel, predsednik društva. Predstavil je v k! pih besedah ustanovne člane in jim podelil v priznanje znake snpj. , Živeči ustanovni člani št. 158 snpj so bratje Rus, Žagar, mr. in mn Možina, sestra Lucija Leskovic in mr. in mn Badalich. Prežel je predsUvil tudi druge ¿line, ki so 30 let ali več člani snpj. . Med temi so Rotar, Kušar, Škrianc, Kuhel, Kane, Poje, Samsa, Oven, Mišič, Žele, Starman, Ivec in ne^ kaUri drugi. Za Um je v kratkih in lepih be-aedah pozdravil usUnovne Člane in ostale navzoče Jakob Zupan, član gospodarskega odi* ka snpj iz Chicaga. Takoj za njim pa jeni-stopil euelidski pevski zbor Adrija, ki je zapel neksj lepih pesmi. Za Adrijo je nastopil znani pevski zbor Zarja pod vodstvom Josepht Krabca. Zbor je prav dobro zapel tri pesmi in žel velik aplavz. Za tem zborom je pa naito-pil pisec in navzoče nagovoril najprvo v angleškem jeziku in nato v slovenskem. Končno je
' Jakob Zupan pričel predvajati slike, ki so vsem izredno ugajale. Ne smem pozabiti Vadntlo-vih godbenikov, ki so podali nekaj prav lepih točk in želi veliko priznanja. Po programu ie je vršila pristna slovenska domača zabava: petje, ples, debaU in drugo.
Pri tej priliki naj omenim, da ima naša" jed-noU še vedno veliko ugleda v tej naselbini, baš radi tega bi morala euelidska društva ie bolj napredovati kot napredujejo. «„ >
Mesto EijcUd napreduje v vseh ozirih. Gradijo nove cesU, tovarne, hiše. Tudi Slovenski dom zelo lepo napreduje. Ali ne mislite bratje, da bi morala vštric s Um napredkom napredovati tudi društva snpj? Sedaj te vrši velika kampanja, torej na delo za večjo SNPJ! Še se dobe novi člani, samo treba jih je poiskati! Da je priredba Uko lepo uspela, ims zasluge odbor, zlasti pa še blagajnik društva Frank Česen, ki je proslavo tako pridno oglaševal • e • .
V	nedeljo 9. marca bo podala Cankarjeva ustanova pod okriljem Delavskega doma in i kooperacijo naprednih detroiUkih društev krasen varietni program v Detroitu. Naši detroit-ski rojaki se bodo brez dvoma potrudili, dt bo dvorana dd nabito polna, mi pa bomo gledali, da bodo vsi navzoči zadovoljni z našo priredbo. Podali bomo Molkovo imenitno humori-stično satiro "Nevtralni Amor", pevske točke bo pa izvajal slavni kvarUt, ki sestoji iz članov Glasbene mstice, in sicer so pevci: Louis Belle.

Dopisniki so se že dotaknili nekaterih važnih vprašanj, precej ¡^^¡¡L ;; reč pa jih je še nedotaknjenih, s katerimi se bo morala baviti pri-1 aaaa Jaatarii .!. lodnja konvencija. Da pa ne bomo z zahtevami v razpravah se-	;
¡«Ii predaleč in gojili nedosegljivih iluzij ter od prihodnje kon- J carai k*<i.. .'.'.V. vencije preveč pričakovali, bo od časa do časa tudi od naše strani ¡JJ^JJJ ;;;;; pojasnjeno, kaj je možno in izvedljivo ter kaj ni. Dali bomo o vsaki stvari tudi svoja priporočila ter tako poskušali pomagati, da k čim bolj izčistijo pojmi in da bo delo konvencije toliko lažje, 'o je tudi glavni namen tega članka.
JA STARE ČLANE Za danes nekaj besed o vprašanju,
kaj bomo naredili za stare člane. Mogoče je na mestu, da se takoj omeni, da to ni problem samo pri nas, temveč pri vseh podpornih organizacijah, ki sprejemajo rev-neje sloje med svoje člane. In ravno tako je re8, da tega vpraša-naj nobena organizacija do danes še ni zadovoljivo rešila. S tem pa ni rečeno, da ga tudi mi ne bomo. Naša organizacija je načelno delavska in nje članstvo je skoraj izključno samo revno delav-itvo. zato je problem za nas toliko bolj pereč in zato je potrebno,

Iz iatega aklada ae seveda izplačuje tudi druga izredna podpora in to bo najbrž vzrok, da
* starostna podpora tako malo opaža in da so nekateri to prezrli, /o sistemu, kak°r je sedaj, je seveda treba predložiti prošnjo in
«vrtni odsek določa take podpore po potrebah, članatvo pa bi	_

to smo že poskušali upeljati, pa ni šlo. Splošna obveznoat bi penila ogromne izdatke vaako leto, zakar bi morali imeti poae-sklad ter plačevati posebne ali toliko večje prispevke, član-o P« tega wividno ni maralo in je a aplošnim glaaovanjem pred-««vrglo. Tudi takrat smo bili še bolj mladi in potrebe za ata-mo podporo nismo občutili tako splošno kot jo danes. In vpra-1)0 na tej konvenciji kaj drugače.

Supreme Board Reports and Decisions
Membership and Financial Progress of SNPJ in Second Half of 1940; Society's Assets Nearing Nine Million Mark; Preparations for Next Convention
The Supreme Board of the SNPJ met last Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Society's headquarters in Chicago, heard reports submitted by individual Executive Officers and Committees on administration business for the second period of the past year and partly of the entire fiscal year, and enacted several decisions pertaining mainly to the 12th regular convention of the SNPJ which will be held next fall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Supreme Secretary Vider re-
evident from all information submitted that the Slovene hall would not be adequate for housing of delegates and serving meals. However, it is the desire of the Board to utilize the Slovene Home during the convention for entertainment and other such affairs in the evenings.
The Board accepted several amendments to the by-laws which will be submitted to the convention for approval.
On Friday evening the Chicago Supreme Board members entertained outside Board mem-
ported on further membership "^T' "uu"ac	mem"
as well as financial progress of	? d.nner and dance in
the Society	I r0, Paul Ber#era restaurant.
On Jan. 1, 1040, the SNPJ had I _	_ _ , _ _
37,807 members in the adult de- Export Marines Have partment; on Jan. 1, 1041, It had Dance Saturday a total of 38,946, which means an	,,A ^	,

The juvenile department had Marines' Dsnce, Saturday, reb. 22, a total of >14,112 members on st 8 p. m„ has been changed to Jan. 1, 1940, and a total of 13,458, Mance's Hall, which wss formally
members on Jan. 1, 1941, which ^^TT1 i*?
•will be furnished by Martin Kuko-
meana a decrease of «54 mem bers during the past year; if we subtract the decrease in the juvenile department from the increase in the adult department, the total increase in both departments is 485 members.
The total assets of the adult department as of Jan. 1, 1941, were $7,935,204.05, and the total assets of the Juvenile department were $583,956.11, bringing the total amount of both departments at the end of the year to $8,519,160.16,—The total Increase in assets in 1940 was $371,227.93.
A total of 368 members, with a total insurance of $263,600, died In 1940. The grestest number of deaths resulted from heart disease (105), in the second place is cancer (52) and ln the third tuberculosis (30).—In 1940 there were 720 operations, the majority of these wer^ appendectomy (184) and in second place hernia (105); the Society paid out the total amount of $47,-112.50 for operations. In the same period the Society paid a total amount of $6495 for 34 disability claims; the majority cases of disability (15) were paid out for the loas of fingers and (12) for the loss of eyesight.
Supreme Assistant Sccrctary CJ red 1 wek reported that during the first half of 1940 the SNPJ paid a total of $209.324.97 in sick benefit, and in the second half (wriod a total of $183.964 74, or a grand total of $393,289.72 for the entire year.
All the details of these beno-fiU paid out will be published in the official minutes.
The Judicial Committee had under consideration only five cases of complaints In this period, which means that disputes among members are steadily decreasing,-
There was a lengthy debate concerning the Proevcta and the majority of the Supreme Board members expressed its opinion that It would be better If Pro-sveta in IU articles and letters would pay more attention to our own problems snd less to world politics.
Since the 12th regular convention of the SNPJ is approaching. the Boafd devoted considerable time to preparations. ,.
It was decided that the 12th regular convention of the SNPJ will open on September 15. 1941, in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, In a downtown hotel convenient to transportation* in the center of the city. A motion by Bro. Ter-¿elj. Judiciary Committee member, that the convention be held at the Slovene Home, received only two votes—because It was
vich and his Commanders. This dance Is sponsored by our softball team.
A cordial invitation is extended to all neighboring lodges, also our local lodge the Jadrsnska Vila lodge 317 to attend.
We welcome into our midst Kay Brits and Ray Gebrosky to become active members. An effort has been made this year to bring all new members into our midst we possibly can. I urge all Marines to attend the regular monthly meetings each month, ror there will be many plans to discuss for the future ac-tivltles of our lodge.

StrugglerS
CLEVELAND. —Our February meeting proved to be a very Interesting one even though a very small number of members showed up. What seems to be trouble? We have tried to make the meetings In the past very interesting but it seems as If something Is lacklng*-whst can It be?
The officers of 1941 have In mind several novel ideas, but what is the use if so very few members attend the meetings. With such enthusiastic officers as Louis Marolt, Andy Htls and Louts Ysppel. your scribe feels confident that Strugglers are going plaees in IN I. You will help us. wont you? Remember thai oo-<>l>eistlon from the membership Is easentla! slso, so how shout you snd you coming down to attend our meeting on March 8 at the Slovene Workmen's Home? We'll be ex-Parting you.
As an added feature the Strug-gler Lodge has again adopted the hank nlte award beginning next month, and the first sward will be two dollars. If the member wtwee name has been drawn first. Is present, he receives the sum of two dollsrs; If atieenl. then naime will be drswn until the name of a mem bfr who Is present will receive one dollar, the other dollar will added on the nest award. Every month two dollars will be thr Bank Nlte Award. Don't you think It » worth II?
Our new president has to his credit one new member whom we
Initiated at our last meeting. May I introduce Loraine Cebul. We are happy to have you with us, Loraine. and I'm sure the entire membership feels the same way. May you bring in a flock of new members! And girls, I heard she bowls s mean game; how about taking her with us to the National Tournament? And by the way, the Second Invitations!

Loyalites!
CLEVELAND.—By the time this column gets into print we'll be talking about the grand time we had In Detroit at the Wolverine Snow Frolic. Several cor loads of Loyalites followed Yankle to Detroit where he and his orchestra supplied the music and the rest of the Loyalites had a grand time.
Another group of Loyalites attended the Barber ton's "Heart-to Heart'' dance. Needless to say that as always they too had one grand time. It Is our regret that we cannot be triplets or some such so that we could participate in all these functions which are held on the same day. On the same Saturday, the Universal Comets' dance also took place.
Pittsburgh, by the way, was paid a visit by three Loyalites the proceeding Saturday. They arrived rather late but In time to spend a few hours in the compaSy of Mike Kumer, Dan Fabec and sisters, Frank Prevec, the gjkng from Struthers, John Rickert, and a great many others. We also rolled our duck-pin game with two Pennsy fellows, Rudy and Ed. I guess we better stick to ten-pins.
We did our best to attend the farewell party for Beachey Bruce according to our promise but again we lost our way in the hills of Pennsylvanls, so we'll hsve to bid you goodby till next year by way of this column. Come to think of It, Beachey, why not coatinuc writing your column? You should have plenty to tell us about Uncle Sam and his men.
Although this year the Loyalites do not have any official man bowling teams, yet the Loyallto fellows are busy bowling each week on Other teams. It Is certainly a four-star team thst bowls each Monday at the Waterloo Recreation. Cast your eyes on the following scores for their last.three-game series and youll se that these boys are going to give everyone some stiff com-petion at the National SNPJ Bowling Tournament in Detroit this year.
Frank Cheligoy bowled 840, Andy Zadfll 524, Paggy Yakos 571, Stan Zupon 838, Marty Paul 887. NlcS going, fellows. Peggy, by the way, hit 8 strikes In a row which was pretty darn cfoSe to s perfect game. Hope you make It next time.
All lodges are reminded that the Eastern Invitational Tournament Is to be held ln Cleveland March 8 and 0 at the Omlralo alleys. Get into the groove tee the National Tournament by attending this one f|rst All the Cleveland lodges are cooperating to show all those out-(of-towners one grand time over this weekend. Frank Yankovlc and his orchestra will provide the music for the dsnce Saturday evening.
This week we'd like to send our most sincere welcome and best wishes to our neighbor lodge, the Strugglers. We've heard some mighty nice things sbout you recently. With the aetive leadership of Andy Sils and several others In the Lodge it shouldn't take long for the Strugglers to come out of their hibernstion. The Loyalites are going to be all there at the Smugglers' Headpin tournament on May 8 and a.
FLASH! Encircle ln red this very day, April 13, Loyally Easter dance. The dance will start at 7 p. m. and it's no need to assure you that as in other years you'll be glad you earns.

SNPJ Keystoners
SHARON, PA.—Lodge Keystoners are Just as active as they were a year or more ago and are still progressing. We have some very good writers in President Joe Valentin-clc, A1 Cvelbar, A1 Gorence, Mrs. George Timko, our charming Evelyn Trobentar, -»and the Kvocak brothers. All they need is a little encouragement and they'll be as good as some of Prosveta's best writers.
Our last meeting was well attended and very interesting. However, I noticed that some of our newly-weds are forgetting to attend the meetings as they used to. Don't let thst stop you. Mske her or him a Keystoner and come to our meetings together. For instance, Frances Bicek, our lightning bbwlerette, soon will be Mrs. Sammy O'Dell. Bring him in for our new member. We are very proud to wclcome a new juvenile member, Eleanor Zag-ger, Treasurer Jack Zaggcr's daughter, and with her lovely voice, Circle 21 is heading for more talent.
We all hope that it will be the very popular Paulenich sisters and brothers for our next month's transfer members. The quartet Is one of the most popular out-of-town SNPJ dance supporters, since our traveling bachelors faded out. Frankie Rosman is really the "lone-somest" traveling bachelor around these parts. Much credit goes to our past President A1 Cvelbar for the capablc manner in which he brought our lodge to the front, and we are very glad we still have him in one of our offices.
Girls! If youcronly knew what a Greek god we have tor president. Come to our Spring Dance on April 2« and convince yourselves. The Morning Star girls and boys have already given their promise and will be here 100*. The tickets are selling like hot cakes. Our girls arc also selling tickets for a bingo and card party to be held at the Slov. Home Sunday evening, March 2. Nellie Culina is the chairlady of the affair, and is working hard to make it a success.
It took snowshovels and knee boots to get to the Morning Stars' dance Feb 8, but the Paulenich trio, Frank Cvelbar. Bessemer and Struthers gang and myself, got there just the same, not saying what time There were several others there slso. including Rose Mlakar, our nightingale. Rudy Locnlskar and our star bowlers, the Kvocak brothers and sisters. We met such other standbys ss Mike Kumer. Larry Caasels. Tony Progsr. A! Prevec. Msry Hallch. Chris Ksus. Rudy Kruk. Beeehey Bruce. Sylvia Fabec, the Paul Kluns and lovely dsughter. and many more names I can't remember. We were sorry to find our very good friend Johnny Ujclch In bed with the flu.

CLEVELAND.—Slovene Library's 35th anniveraary celebration Feb. 9 exceeded the expectation of ita
h
fluently the War Department enhanced that it had refused to grant t contract to Henry Ford because he vould not agree to obey the labor But old Henry is tricky prngh to circumvent any law as as the government will handle with kid gloves. The govern has power to force any recal-nt employer to bargain collec ¿vely and to sign the contracta.
Last Saturday the 77-year-old ito king said that the United States give England and the Axis "the tools to keep on fight-until they both collapse." And "lincerely hopes" that neither England nor the Axis powers will the struggle. Evidently, he is ¡furmg on the reaping of fat prof by American money kings like limielf after the ruin of the Euro-continent. ^
Herb Graffis devotes his column the Chicago Times of February 17 1 Louis Adamic who last week was lonored with a degree from Tern University and the $1000 Anis prize for his book "From Many " Graffis states that Louie from Slovenia, and later on to him as "this Slovak kid." Bus sort of thing is encountered toquently, and never fails to be an-loyed.
noon consisted of songs presented by various Singing Societies and its members, talks by Mr. Zorman and Judge Lausche, which 'met the hearty approval of the crowd in attendance. A one act also was given under the direction of Mrs. A. Simcic with A. Eppich in the leading role. Anne Cebul, member of the St. Clair circle, in a> supporting role continued to show promise of developing into a well worth while addition to Cankar's dramatic group. The dance in the evening drew the younger crowd, which sqd to say ahould have been more in evidence at the afternoon performance. -
Johnnny Stritof, one of Comrades' most eligible batchlors, is wearing himself to a shadow dashing out of sight whenever mothers who have % eligible daughters ap pear. They all agree he would make a splendid son-in-law.
Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. on Feb. 23 at the SND, dramatic ao-ciety Ivan Cankar will present "Kurentova Nevesta" (Kurent's Bride). In the evening a dance will follow with music by the Vad-nal group. You and I know the English interpretation of "nevesta" but how about "Kurentova." They tell me Frank Plut will play this role, likened somewhat to "Puck" in Midsummer Night's Dream or Robin Good Fellow, a character in English folklore famed for disturbing the peace of families. Mrs. Simcic informed me there is a surprised ending. Cankar deserves your sup port and certainly merits full at tendancc.
No need to remind you a little more than a week from tonight you and your friends should be tripping the light fantastic at the SND to the music of Johnny Pecon. March lat is the date. Indicationa point to a capacity crowd.
Fast and furious, that's our motto this year. The following Saturday, March 8, will the Cleveland Athletic affair with muaic by Frankie Yankovic. This will be in connection with the 2nd Eastern Invitational Bowling Tournament. If you have not as yet made it a point, send in your entry blanks now.
by the local Slovenes and friends. The affair turned out very successful. Prominent Slovenes and sports notables were present Comrades who served on various committees and performed a swell job were, Mary Zak, Dani Fifolt. Alblna Ve-har and Heine Martin.
Rather disagree with No. Calif. Federation's resolution criticising our friend the editor whenever he pens an item at the end of an article that rubs againat his grain I personally have enjoyed these always hoping a constructive argu-mentive war would reault. I'd never admire the man or any other editor if any remarks in my column againat the principles of the Society or against his personal ideas were paased by unanswered.
All indications point to the fact that the Midwest Bowling Tournament Sunday, Feb. 23, should exceed any of their previoua undertakings. We wish them success.
Glasbena Matica is rehearsing diligently for their Spring Concert to be held at the SND on March 16 The program will consist of Slo vene folk songs that should strike a responsive chord among old and young. Be sure to set this date aside.

We bvlieve Theresa (Yaklevich) Hespor'4 name was fished out for the bank nite award. Failed to appear, though. Still another juvenile was signed—Frank Prevec, son of our star bowler, Papa Wlllium. One transfer, too—Edward Umeck from Lodge 4».
The after meeting social was well received. Charles Jacobe, Chair man of the Sociul Committee, brought along his accordoion ao he, Umeck and Cherne (?) aqueesed out the tunes. The kissing booth gave the people many u laugh Some of the boys held baek stubbornly (they kept running away— toward the enclosure!) when invited into the klaaina booth by the girls. And were they disappointed when they came out with n handful of kiaaes—all candy! Anyway, it wus lots of fun.
Profits! Profits! So you think industry und Its employees arc walking on the Hanic velvet carpet? Last yeur United States Steel (flush with war orders today) pocketed a net profit of $102,000,000. The Installment of labor aaving machinery, the subsequent abolition and elimination of jobs and men, the company spirited "pushers," the reduction of tonnage rates and commissions— all acted as conveyor belts to pile the money. How much were you able to save? Bet, at times, the family had to do without things they should have had. Nice, patriotic company—U. 8. Steel 1
Then one of our local "Little Steel" companies brought out the cigar box the other day because production records were broken.

SO. CHICAGO.—We in South Chicago are looking forward toward participation in the activities within the SNPJ. From a local standpoint the Calumet Sentinela will attempt a build-up in interest in their own internal affairs. We will get acquainted.
We will discuss matters within our fraternal reach. We will try to do things that can, and should be done, in our lodge. Our own members will be the first to say that more activities will bring greater personal satisfaction to their membership. There is good to be had in S lodge. The Sentinels have to "plug" just a little more and they will find that to be true.
Going b«£ond our own "front steps" wc can attain a closer degree of cooperation with our neighboring Lodges 8 and 490. In friendship and understanding the three South Chicago lodges can do much to strengthen the SNPJ in this section ot the state. Unitedly and in mutual as sistance the three lodges of the Sbuthsidc can become a creditable source of strength to the whole SNPJ.
Away from our own "back yards we can assume a greater role within the Chicago District Federation of SNPJ lodges. The Federation has always invited its member lodges to a greater degree of participation in its functions. By cooperating with the Federation we can do the f reat est amount of good to increase the prestige and value of the society In general. Just now the Federation is planning the annual SNPJ Day celebration which will bring thousands of our members to Chicago next summer. The Sentinels are a part of the Federation and should assist in arranging the best of programs for the occasion.
' After ^1, there is another aspect Chicago lodges have t£ jhce. Hundreds of our American cities and small communities have SNPJ lodges or Slovene colonies. All of these follow with interest the work being done by Chicago lodges Should this city's lodges show a lack of enterprise alone cultural, fraternal and kindred Interests through»

It is an cstabliahed and Irrefutable fact that no organization or group or set-up can disassociate itaelf from • the general social order or society in which it thrives.
If that la so. then, to establish ourselves on a firm basis, we must, first of all, try to determine the present status of the American aortal order and the direction into which It Is tending, ami, secondly, our purpoae and poaslbllittes In sufh w social order.
Since the former is a topic for Investigation and report In Itself, we might, to get to the point, look at the latter.
What does it mean? It mcuns that we must reexamine our "purpose" and "object" as stated In the present by-luws. It moans thut we must dtaw up a very clear and definite set of ohjoctlves— which, If they cannot tie enlarged upon In the by-laws must serve as our guide for those statements thut are Included In the by-luws. Theae objectives would be the plan ujion which the Society and each Individual lodge would be working regard 1ms of whether It would be possible for any or all the
lodges to attain each objective.
*
Specifically; the first section of the present by-luws says (summari* ? ly) that the object of thia Society shall be to furnlah a system of Insurance (not for profit) and subject to tho laws of the State, etc.
The second section says that the purpose of this Society shall be to , aid members culturally, and give moral and material aid lo worthy cultural institutions.
Since It Is well-known that the State laws for Insurance eompanloa have become increasingly stringont und that the work in the general , office is becoming more and more stabilized—of necessity,—the final check>up all being done by outside expert accountants and actuaries (required by law), and that the lint* Its to which we are permitted to do . one thing or another ln the field of Insurance la dusely supervised by law, we would eventually« in respect to our Insurance interests only, fall intn a routine that would cease to be Interesting or even warrant any participation by the Engllah-speaklng generation into whose
hands the work will fall.

A statement of objeetlvas, then, must lean more heavily toward s concrete purpose or working plan in roganl to m < imn 2
Are we fulfilling any definite need in the American soene as u Slovene organisation? Or la that same purpose already covered by other organizations?
Can we serve as a group that will 1 preserve some of the best and ,tra- .. ditiotuil in Slovene culture, thereby lidding it as our contribution lo the general pattern of omulguniullon of America?
Would an objective of this kind produce uny effect on our existing •• types of uctivitlea—spoils, Juvenile elides, official organ, dances, etc.? t
Are we interested in bring a me« dJum tot giving background to second and third generations of a nationality group that is far removed -from the land of iia origin?
Are we InU'iesled only In holding together the remnants of the Slovene group as s nationality—with the fraternal organisation as a basis —-und lot* the future lake care of itaelf?
Is it our purpose to utilize all our present forms of activitiea lo sustain an inU*reat in our kind of fraternal oi gumption, that la, Slovene, and use every means available to auit our purpoae? Or are we interested In givlnc something to our members that is net available elsewhere and thus, In a larger aense, making a contribution to America as a whole? ln otitrr words, are we satisfied in being oationaiiatlc (so long as that is posaibla) or are we interested In making our nationalism serve a broader Ideal?
These questiona, or objeetivea, it seems must be answered one way or another within our minds or by the Society as a whole failing to do thia, wa cannot motivate our work; we will become decadent; and wa will admit our refusal Ui cope with present problems.

STAR CITY. W VA—To start with, I olao have a brother who is in the Army. Not that we, the family, are pverenthuoed about the prospect, but at the time he had joined he lost all faith in humanity, not being able to get a job, September, 1936. Me started in as just a -rookie" and being intcreotcd in cooking, got a job in the kitchen soon as head cook. Now he is the Mess Sergeant and likes his work very much. Lawrence Jr. is stationed at Panama Canal Zone. I write about it now because I hear so much credit going to few draftee« and volunteers and I think that if credit is due one it is due to another also. I also write because it was a happy oecassion with us to have received message that he will

think I shall not try these two ideas. I feel that if they are interested enough to come for the cause of the thing—SNPJ, then better yet not to come at all.

Several dances including the one of March 1st and another on March 6 have been booked,—-From Milwaukee we received fecfl about the Allis-Chalmers strike from Frank Bolka. The strike will prob-sbly be settled by Wednesday, but the issue is interesting. The men want higher -'wages and they say that higher profits warrant higher wages. They also want a union shop. They tell some of the good points of unions, listing Abraham Lincoln's expressions on unions. Among other things, unions bring independence.—The other day we visited one of our fellow friends who used to be quite active but who ia now being placed into retirement by illness.

VERONA, PA.—The SNPJ Veronettes' 3d Anniversary Dance will be held on Washington's birthday, Saturday, Feb. 22, at the Nat'l Home featuring the well-known orchestra —Taffy's Domovina band. Come one and all to help celebrate two events at one time.
Three years 6go a small group of Veronian lodge girls gathered together with the hopes of forming a club, to show that the Veronians are an active group. The girls would travel to different lodge affsirs to represent the Veronian lodge 680. At the same time dances were held by the Veronettes to attract neighboring lodges to the Veronians' affairs. The Veronettes were always on hand to help or donate to the Veronians, the Athletic Club and Juvenile Circle.
During these past years we made many new friends, also hsd many ne*r lodges represented. At this point we wish to thank all who helped us up the ladder of success. Once a month the girls get together to discuss matters of interest both to themselves and to the lodge. Every Veronian girl member had the privilege of joining this club.
