Značilna izjava beted* nika grške osvobodilne fronte
DISKUZIJE O BRIT-SKEM APELU
Nt
London« 4. marca.—Besednik grške levičarske narodne osvobodilne fronte (EAM) je dejal, da bi ameriška intervencija v Grčiji v prilog monarhistični vladi, ki se vzdržuje na krmilu s pomočjo britskih bajonetov, le podaljšala civilno vojno. On je citiral izjavo Nicholasa Za-chariadesa, generalnega tajnika grške komunistične stranke, da se bo situacija poslabšala, če bo ameriška okupacijska sila nasledila britsko okupacijsko silo v Grčiji. To bi naletelo na odločno opozicijo grškega ljudstva.
Alexander A. Pallas, član štaba grškega poslaništva v Londonu, je dejal, da bi ameriška pomoč omogočila grški vladi povečanje armade, ki zdaj šteje okrog 100,000 vojakov, na 130,-000. Ojačana armada bi lahko zdrobila rebelne sile v severnih grških pokrajinah, kjer so v teku ljute bitke med vladnimi Četami in levičarskimi silami, in vzpostavila mir in red.
Pallas je podal to izjavo, ko so britski zunanji minister Ernest Bevin in njegovi svetovalci razpravljali o ameriški noti, ki vsebuje odgovor na apel Attlee-jeve vlade za pomoč. Nota baje vsebuje zagotovilo, da bo Amerika nudila finančno in ekonomsko pomoč Grčiji pod pogojem, da britske čete ostanejo v deželi. Pallas je priznal, da bo Grčija zpbredla v resno krizo, če bodo britske čete odpoklicane in Amerika odrekla finančno in ekonomsko pomoč. Velika Britanija je že potrošila $24,000,000 za vzdrževanje vojaških čet v Grčiji.
Konni Zilliacus, levičarski la-borit in član parlamenta, je dejal, da bo zahteval pojasnila od zunanjega urada, "katerim interesom služijo britske čete v Grčiji. Predvidevana aranžma med Veliko Britanijo in Ameriko glede Grčije je nadaljnji poskus ustanovitve bloka proti Sovjetski uniji po vzorcu in metodah, katere je orisal bivši premier Winston Churchill, vodja konservativne stranke, v svojem govoru v Fultonu, Mo. . Amerika naj bi postala arzenal kapitalizma, Velika Britanija pa naj bi preskrbela topovsko krmo."
Laborit Woodrow Wyatt je tudi kritiziral načrt britske vlade glede Grčije.
Waahington, D. C« 4. marca.— V nižji kongresni zbornici ao bila izrečena svarila v teku debate o apelu britske vlade na Ameriko, naj ona prevzame britske finančne in ekonomske obveznosti v Grčiji. Kongres-'•iki so naglašali, da mora biti Amerika previdna v akcijah, s katerimi bi se lahko zapletla v zadeve drugih držav.,
Kongresnik Buffett, republikanec »z Nebraske, je zahteval temeljite razprave v kongresu, preden Amerika vrže dvesto ali tristo milijonov dolarjev v Gr-<'jo. Dejal je, "da je Amerik« dala milijarde dolarjev Franciji Italiji m Kitajski in kdo more trditi, da so te drž«ve 'daj dalj od komunizma nego fco bile prej."
Kongresnik Cox je dejal, da bo Amerika izgubila vse, sko te bo britski imperij, ki je v pro-< "su r .izpadanja, zrušil Kongresnik Rankm je nsglasil, ds "vljenje Amerike ne zsvisi od v>iike Bntsnije, zaeno ps je PJiznsl, ds bo komunizem popi »vil vso Evropo po zrušitvi bi.Ukega imperije.

ÔTEV.—NUMBER 45
Ostra debata o zunanji politiki
Washington, D. C.. 4. marca.— Državni tajnik George C. Marshall je konferiral s člani kongresnega odseka za apropriacije o apelu britske vlade, naj bi Amerika prevzela britske finančne in ekonomske obveznosti v Grčiji. Mnenje prevladuje, da je bila konferenca uvod v ostro debato o ameriški zunanji politiki v kongresu.
Marshall in njegovi svetovalci ter veščaki bodo jutri zapustili Washington in odleteli v Moskvo, kjer se bo pričela konferenca zunanjih ministrov štirih velesil 10. marca. Državni tajnik je razpravljal dve uri s člani pododseka o britskih potežko-čah v Grčiji ln drugih deželah.
Doznava se, da je Marshall zavzel stališče, da mora Amerika prevzeti britske obveznosti v Grčiji in podpreti grško monar-histično vlado v njeni borbi proti komunizmu. On bo danes nastopil pred člani senatnega odseka za zunanje zadeve.
Vprašanje je, ali bo Amerika prevzela zaščito strategičnih britskih con, ker je očitno, da jih Velika Britanija ne bo mogla držati brez ameriške pomoči. Nekateri kongresniki in senatorji so izrekli svarilo pred revizijo ameriške zunanje politike v prilog Veliki Britaniji in njenemu imperiju, ker bi revizija lahko pognala Ameriko v vojno z Rusijo.
Vodja stavke ugrabljen in pretepen
Bakersfield, Cal., 4. marca.— Herbert K. Sorreli, predsednik unije filmskih delavcev in vodja stavke proti filmskim kompani-jam, je bil ugrabljen in pretepen. Ugrabili so ga trije moški, ko je sedel v avtomobilu pred svojo hišo. Eden izmed moških je nosil policijsko uniformo. Sorreli je bil pozneje izpuščen in se zdaj nahaja v bolnišnici.
Odslovitev delavcev povzročila stavko
Chicago, 4. marca.—Dve tovarni Foote Brothers Gear & Machine Corp. sta morali ustaviti obrat zaradi stavke 800 delavcev, članov unije United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers CIO. Stavka je protest proti korporaciji zaradi od-slovitve 18 delavcev.
Visoki stroiki šovjetske propagande
Atlantic City, N. J., 4. marca. Pomožni državni tajnik William Benton je dejal, da Rusija potroši več denarja za širjenje svoje propagande v tujini kot vse druge velesile. Benton je govoril pred Ameriško zvezo šolskih upraviteljev.
Predsednikova kolona
Naie delo in bratstvo &*ni Slovenske narodne podporne jednote smo dokaj ponosni na svojo odlično dobrodelno in kulturno ustanovo, in—prav je tako! Saj je ni kmalu kake druge organizacije te vrste, ki bi se mogla po svojih aktivnostih in dobrem delu za človeštvo niti zdaleka primerjati z našo jednoto.
Kot znano, se je SNPJ porodila v jako mračnih okolščinah in težkih razmerah. Ustanovljena je bila v čaaih, ko med našimi priseljenci ni bilo skoro nobenega razumevanja za potrebo medsebojnega sodelovanja delavcev in še manj za kako dobro delavsko podporno organizacijo. Toda kljub težkim razmeram in okolnostim, kljub omejenemu polju za agitacijo in kljub neštetim oviram, med katerimi jih je bilo veliko navidezno nepremagljivih, je jednota rasla in se širila na vse strani te ogromne dežele ter postala v primeroma kratkem času velika in močna, tako da smo res lahko ponosni nanjo.
Upravičeno hvalimo ideje in načela SNPJ, ki so velika in plemenita \er tvorijo temeljni kamen naše mogočne bratovščine in na katerih temelje vse aktivnosti, ki se vrle v območju nje delokroga. Upravičeno smo ponosni na veliko pomožno in izobraževalno delo, ki ga vrši jednota med našim ljudatvom ter za dobrobit človeštva sploh. In seveda nas veseli tudi jednotin hitri razvoj ter tako imeniten napredek v porasti članstva in premoženja, kar je oboje tudi izredno važno. Kajti v tem, da smo močni po številu članstva in finančno trdni, je najbolj sigurno jamatvo, da bodo naše podpore, odškodnine ter druge dajatve in zavarovalnine vse zagotovo in točno izplačane, in da bo jednota lahko vršila svojo človečansko in potrebno misijo naprej in bodo blagra naše če-stite bratovščine deležni tudi naši sinove in hčere ter drugi zanamci.

Gradi svoje društvo Kako znamo ceniti svojo dobro jednoto in koliko smo res vredni nje veličine, bomo spet imeli priložnost pokazati na posebni način. Ta izvrstna prilika se nam nudi prav sedaj, namreč—a kampanjo za nove člane, katero je odredil glavni odbor na avoji letni seji in se je že pričela s prvim dnem meseca marca ter bo kon-čala 30. junija. Kot Je v načrtu za kampanjo, ki Je bil priob-čen že zadnjo sredo v Prosveti, bolj podrobno pplsano, bo ta kampanja nekakšna tekma med društvi, toda razume se, da bodo deležni nagrad tudi poedini člani, ki se bodo potrudili in se iz kazali z uspehi.
Našli se bodo najbrž spet člani, ki bodo zagodrnjali, češ, da kampanja stane denar. Eni bodo tudi trdili, da a kampanjo dobimo aame bolnike in nezaželjene značaje. Drugi bodo zopet rekli, da je pri njih že vse včlanjeno in nič ve« polja za agitacijo.
tako in še mnogo drugih ugovorov amo alifgli še v viaki kampanji in Jih bomo bržkone tudi v tej. Toda dobro zavednega člana to ne ustraši. Vsak član, ki mu je bodočnost jed note in njegovi lastni interesi v jednoti kaj pri srcu, bo šel na delo vseeno in poskušal dobiti kakega člana ter doprinesti svoj delež k uspehu te kampanje.
Je že res, da kampanja stane denar, toda dandanes je tako, da kampanjijo za nove člane in trošijo denar tudi drugi m še veliko več, pa zato nam ne preostane drugega kot da se istega sredstva poslužujemo tudi mi. Nove člane moramo privabiti na en ali drugi način, da nadomestimo tiste, ki izumirajo ali jih kako drugače zgubimo. Poleg nadomestila pa je treba skrbeti, da nas bo zmeraj več, kajti čim več nas je, tem manjše breme pride na posameznika v organizaciji in tem bolje bo za nas vse. Nove člane smo seveda dolžni pridobivati zmeraj in tudi brez kampanje, in kdor more koga pridobiti brez nagrade, mu bo jednots še bolj hvaležna. Kampanja pa je tudi potrebna vsaj od časa do časa, da se naše aktivnosti bolj razgibljejo in člani posta nemo v interesu organizacije bolj Živahni. Bolnike in nezaže ljene pa vseeno lahko dobimo, ako društvo ne pazi, pa naj bo kampanja ali ne.
Trditev, da ni več polja za agitacijo, pa sploh ne drži. Najboljši dokaz za to so doprinesli naši dobri agitatorji že večkrat, ki so šli na delo v takih krajih, kjer so drugi trdili, da ni vsemogoče dobiti nobenega novega člana, pa ao zopet in zopet po kazali uspeh. Povsod se najde še kdo, ki se ga da pridobiti, samo Če ga pravilno—potiplješ. Naj nam pri tem služijo zs vzgled naši pionirji, ki so začeli Jednoto v resnici težavnih raz merah in v pravem pomenu besede—iz nič. Takrst ni bilo velike organizacije z močno blagajno, na katero bi se lahko opirali in kazali za vzgled. Ljudje so bili nevedni in se obnašali proti njim sovražno ter jim zapirali vrata, toda oni so vztrsjsli in pridno agitirali naprej vseeno. Tako so počasi prebijali led in končno imenitno uspeli. In t«ko bomo lahko uspeli tudi mi.
Na delo torej, bratje in sestre! Gradimo svoja društvo—JsčaJ. mo stpJo organizacijo!	V. CAINKAR, gl. predsednik.

Neintervencijs pa ne pomeni, da se mi ne sme mo brigati za dogodke, ki se vr-še na drugi strani naših mej.

Nekoliko komentarja o "politik
Br. Anton Ermenc iz Milwaukeeja na drugem mestu današnje Prosvete kritizira zadnjo konvencijo, ker ni odprla Prosvete za politično oglašanje kandidatov za javne urade. In to posebno kandidatov slovenske narodnosti ali izvora, češ, da bi njih izvolitev "dvignila naš ugled v naselbini in v državi" in "nam" več ali manj koristila. Prav tako naj bi bile kolone Prosvete odprte tudi agitaciji za napredno usmerjene delavske kandidate. Omenja primer, ko je bil pri zadnjih volitvah v Milwaukeeju z malo večino poražen neki delavski kongresnik in dela vtis, da bi se to ne bilo zgodilo, ako bi bila Prosveta odprta za njegovo agi' tacijo. Mislimo, da vemo, koga ima tukaj br. Ermenc v mislih —bivšega kongresnika Biemillerja.
Po toči zvoniti je. seveda prepozno, toda ne bo škodilo, če se nekoliko pomudimo pri tem vprašanju. Da je Prosveta po nalogu konvencije leta 1937 v volilnih kampanjah postala "nevtralna", je treba iskati vzroka v ameriških političnih razmerah, ki so s sta-liščs zavednega delavca docela jalove. Do te "nevtralnosti" je prišlo po razkolu v socialistični stranki. Ta razko) pred desetimi leti je domala uničil socialistično gibanje v tej deželi in pustil politično praznino. Te praznine do danes še ni nadomestilo kakšno novo delavsko ali progresivno politično gibanje, za kakršnega se je izrekla tudi naša zadnja konvencija. Zato Je Prosveta le vedno nevtralna v političnih kampanjah.
a
Resolucijski odbor je na zadnji konvenciji sicer priporočal od-pretje Proavetinih kolon za agitiranje v prid progresivno in delavsko orientiranih kandidatov, toda konvencija je bila drugačnega mnenja. Vprašanje je namreč bilo, kdo bo odločal, kateri kandidat Je progresiven in delavsko orientiran in kateri ne. Pred vsakimi volitvami imate namreč vse polno "delavskih prijateljev", po volitvah pa jih morate iskati z veliko lučjo ob belem dnevu, toda se navadno tako zgodi kot se je filozofu Diogenu v stari Grčiji, ko Je po Atenah iskal resnice.
Z drugo besedo; delegacija na zadnji konvenciji je bila precei skeptična in štela precej nevernih Tomažev. Hotela Je vedeti, kdo bo pogledal konju na zobe in odrejal, kateri kandidat je delavsko in napredno usmerjen in kdo ni in kdo bi odpiral in zapiral kolone Prosvete. Kq je bilo pojasnjeno, da bi ta naloga spadala odgovornemu uredniku, ni vzelo dolgo, ko je konvencija prišla do zaključka, naj se zadnji odstavek dotične resolucije črta in naj kolone Prosvete v volilnih kampanjah še nadalje ostanejo zaprte vsem kandidatom. Raje to kot pa, da bi ena oseba odločala, kateremu kandidatu naj bo Prosveta odprta in kateremu ne. Ta razsodba je bila lahko modra. Vsekakor pa je bil odgovorni urednik razrešen neljube naloge, dasi se s to našo politiko ptiča noja povsem ne strinja. Tudi praksa je pokazala, da se ta naša "nevtralnost" ne da stoodstotno izvajati, kajti indlrektne agitacije za tega ali onega kandidata ni lahko izločiti, to je brez da bi članstvu ne odrekli pravico do besede v Prosveti.
Torej ostane Prosveta zaprta za vsako volilno propagando za tega ali onega kandidata i v bodoče—dokler se ne pojavi kakšno novo politično gibanje, nova delavska ali ljudska stranka, za kakršno se je izrekla naš* zadnja konvencija. Kdaj pride do tega, je v naročju bogov.
»
Naj izrazimo še besedo o "naših" kandidatih, na katero struno udarja tudi br. Ermenc. Na to struno ae v Ameriki zelo veliko brenka po vseh mestih in krajih, kjer so večje naselbine raznih narodnotti. Povsod, kjer prihaja na površje novi generacija. Na tej narodnostni "palitiki" srao na primer zelo bogati in razkošni v Chicagu. sicer ne Slovenci niti Hrvatje ali Srbi, kajti nas je premalo in smo preveč razkropljeni po vaem mestu. Vse dru gače pa je med PoljAi, Italijani, Cehi, Irci in tudi Židi. Te narodnostne skupine imajo v Chicagu močne politične mašine— zadnja leta tudi zamorci. Značilnost vseh teh političnih mašin je v tem. da so korumpirane do kosti, kajti prefriganl in korum-pirani politiki te ali druge narodnosti znajo imenitno izrabljati svoje rojake za svoja politična korita. V resnici so te narodnostne politične mašine po velemestih veliko odgovorne za tako obaežno politično korumpiranott. K tej politični korumpirsnostl prispeva svoj dele* tudi vsak volilec te ali druge narodnosti, ki glasuje za "naleta kandidata" zato, ker je slučajno njegove narodnosti. Povsem ao podobni onim domačinom, ki so podedovali svoje politično prepričanje ali strankarotvo po tvojem očetu ali prsdedu —"kar je bilo dobro ra očeta, je dobro i zameH,
Ne! V politiki ni, oziroma bi ne smela biti važna narodnost, marveč pol ttčna inteligenca, politična opredeljenoat napram vat-nlm gospodarskim in socialnim problemom in javnim interesom, dalje poštenost In značaj in sposobnost. Na teh kvalifikacijah je treba «oditi kandidate za Javne urade in komu Je kdo pripravljen služiti—"free enterprlzerskim" ali ljudskim interesom. Kdor jO
del korumpirane politične mašine, tisti mora tudi njej slutiti.
*
Z drugo Ix tedo: narodnost ni nobena kvalifikacija za javni urad. (Izjema je le služba tolmača.) NI, oziroma ne smelo bi biti vprs-šanje, ali je kandidat za aldermana, poslanca, župana, governor-ja, "dog keteherja", poljake, slovenska, češke, italijanske, angleške. irske, nemške etc. etc. narodnosti, marveč kaj zastopa načelno in v praksi, njegova poštenost in sposobnost in značsjnost. Ce bi volilci, posebno pa preprosti vohlci imeli to za merilo pri oddajanju svojih glasov, bi bilo v deieli manj korupcije, manj stupid-nost . manj tasne mržnje, manj antuielavtke gonje in več smisla za splošni blagor ljudstva in delete.
Nsj omenimo, da so v neki državi imeli "našega" governerja, ne samo župana—moža. za katerega so b*li skoraj vs> rojaki brez tsjeme na politično ali versko prepričanje zelo navdušeni in silno ponosni Mnogi niso več, kajti ko «o ga prosili, da bi se v Wash-inftonu potegnil zn pravico prt reševanju tržaškega vprašanja,

GLAS IZ PITTSBURGHA
Pittsburgh. Pa«—Naj malo poročam, kako se imamo v Pitts burghu. Delavske razmere so še precej dobre, ali draginja je neznosna in trgovci navijajo cene iz dneva v dan, tako da je za njih vedno dobra trgatev.
Iz naše nasdbine oz. mesta 4e le redko kdaj kdo oglasi v naši Prosveti. Včasih se je oglašal brat Starman (?). On je pisal jako dobro, sedaj pa je v pokoju ali kaj.
Tu imamo dve društvi SNPJ, in sicer št. 118 in Morning Starš št. 665. Društvo 118 je veliko in močno, kajti je skozi združenje sestavljeno z drugimi društvi, toda na žalost moram ugotoviti, da prepeva tUto pesem, ki ji pravimo "spim".
Spomlad se nam bliža, vse se prebuja in oživlja, s prvim marcem pa se je pričela kampanja za novo članstvo. Razpisane so jako lepe nagrade, zato se dajmo prebuditi vsi pri našem društvu, da priborimo eno teh nagrad. Torej, na prihodnji seji bodo prečitana navodila za kampanjo in potrebno je, da gremo vsi na delo. Sedaj je vojna končana in prilik je še vedno, samo treba je zavihati rokave, pa bo šlo..
Društvo Morning Starš je pa jako živo in agilno in kadar oni priredijo društveno veselico, jo poseti mladina iz vse okolice in napolni Slovenski dom. Slišal sem opazko, da bodo morali prihodnjič dobiti Ribničane, da bodo malo razrinili dvorano.
Ti naši mladi člani sedaj tudi pridno kegljajo in delajo ofenzive zdaj na levo, zdaj na desno. Slišal sem tudi, da bodo enkrat v bodočnosti napravili ofenzivo na Chicago, a jaz sem jim svetoval, da ni treba, ker so tam velike utrdbe. Odgovorili so mi, da se ne boje čikaških utrdb in da bodo padale kot snopi. Kadar prodrejo do Chicaga, se Milanu Med veš k u ni treba bati, ampak jim naj pove, da je bil nekoč njihov sosed in bo vse dobro.
Ti naši fantje in dekleta društva Morning Starš niso kar tako! Slišal sem, da bodo na prihodnji seji stavili predlog, da mora vsak član in članica pridobiti enega novega člana, tako da se bo društvo podvojilo v članstvu. Tako, tako, fantje in dekleta od društva 665 SNPJ, korajža velja. Kajne, Sllvija!
Seveda, slišal se bo protiugo-vor, češ, koliko novih članov bom pa jaz pridobil. Tudi jaz bi rad storil svojo dolžnost, toda sedaj sem že nad leto dni bolan. Poprej me je neprestano bolela glava in bil sem dvakrat v bolnišnici v Pittsburghu in v kliniki v Clevelandu, pa vse to dosti ne pomaga. Sedaj me sicer ne boli glava, drži pa me omotica. Morda bi vedel kateri izmed čitateljev za kakšno domače zdravilo ali nasvet proti tej bolezni. Eventuelne stroške bom povrnil. Moj naslov je: 5405 Celedin st., Pittsburgh, Pa.
Tono Tomšič.
tudi letos, in sicer prvo nedeljo v juniju.
Naj še omenim, da imamo v našem odboru člana, kateri je kot posameznik storil največ brezplačnega dela za našo farmo. On se zanima za to podjetje od začetka, za plačilo pa dobi polena pod noge. Ta naš član je John Šorc, ki še vedno dela za farmo z isto vnemo kot v začetku.
Za leto 1947 je bil izvoljen sledeč odbor: Predsednik Bias Novak, prvi podpredsednik A. Kerze, drugi podpredsednik Ma-rolt, tajnik Prank Pyke, blagajnik Nick Spehar. Nadzorni odsek: Frank Sustarsich, John Strancar in Ludvik Medvešek, zapisnikarica Theresa Gorjanc.

arhaistične točke v naših pravilih in jih nadomestili s takimi, ki bi odgovarjale duhu današnjega časa in napredka, kar bi bilo v korist ameriškem Slovencem in delavstvu v splošnem.
Na koncu se naj v imenu društva Bratoljub 234 SNPJ zahvalim vsem, ki so se udeležili naše domače zabave, prav tako pridnim delavcem in delavkam, ki so vse pravilno uredili in se trudili, da je bila zabava v vseh ozirih lep uspeh. Hvala vsem!

ALI NAJ OSTANEMO POLITIČNO MRTVI?
Milwaukee, Wts.—V mislih i-mam nekaj mnenj in sugestij, ki jih želim spožiti v javnosti. Upam, da bo urednik priobčil te vrstice in da ne bo preveč zamere in kritike, če ne bodo vsem po volji.
Najprvo naj izrečem priznanje, katerega je izreklo že tudi dosti drugih naročnikov, namreč da ima Prosveta v sedanjem u-redniku inteligentnega moža, ki v resnici razume posel žurna-lizma in njegovi članki pričajo,' da mož sledi, opazuje in razume tekočo dobo časa in razmere ter ničesar važnega ne zgreši, nakar vse objektivno poda čitateljem v pouk in razmotri-vanje

Zakaj ni 13. redna konvencija čutila potrebe, da bi bila omilila tisto točko, ki na dovoljuje oglaševanje političnih kandidatov, vsaj v takih slučajih, kjer bi 1-meli koristi slovenski naseljenci in bij bi zaeno povzdigpjen naš prestiž v nas^l^jni in državi, katerega smo tako zelo potrebni, posebno sedaj po teh povojnih izbruhih in napadanju na slovanski rod?
Napredni listi bi lahko vsaj dovolili, da bi se razpravljalo o kandidatu, da se pokaže moža narodu, če je vreden podpore. Če pride do važne službe inteligenten in sposoben Slovenec ali Slovan, je to vendar v čast na
POROČILO TAJNICE DRUŠTVA 450 SNPJ
Euclid, O. — Če človek dolgo živi, se mu vse prepeti, mrtvemu pa jama. Ta pregovor še danes drži. Razlika je le ta, ko je človek enkrat mrtev, mu je vseeno, kaj se potem godi okrog njega,* ali za tiste, ki ostanejo, je pa drugače, posebno če ni kakšnih prihrankov ali pa organizacije.
Medtem ko leta tečejo, pa obhajamo vsake vrste obletnic, bolj poredko pa obhajamo srebrne jubileje. Naše društvo Cvetoči nobel 450 SNPJ bo letos staro 25 let. Ustanovljeno je biio meseca februarja 1932. To je že dolga doba, naj bo za posameznika ali društvo in v tem času se marsikaj spremeni. Člani, ki so bili takrat mladi, so danes stari in izdelani. Mnoge pa že krije črna zemlja, drugi, ki*so še živi, so pa zašli bolj v pasivnost, le nekaj jih je, ki še niso klonili in pridno delajo za društvo in jednoto.
Kakor sem bila že omenila, je 25 let dolga doba. Med tem ča
povsod prvo v pomoči, najsibo v bolezni ali smrti, in masikatero solzo je pomagalo posušiti. Naj I>ovem, da sem bila tudi jaz med tistimi nesrečnimi, kateri hiši ni bolezen prizanesla, kajti zbolel je gospodar in reditelj treh o-trok. Tisti čas ni prišla od nikoder drugje pomoč kot od naše skrbne matere jednote. Vsak mesec skozi vse leto sem gledala na njo kot na rešiteljico, kajti dobili smo vsaj za nejpotrebnej-še stvari. Ker pa se je bozelen dolgo vlekla in so društveni bratje in sestre vedeli v kakšnem položaju smo se nahajali, so se pa še oni spomnili na društveni seji in skupaj zbrali nekaj dolarjev, kar nam je bilo tedaj v veliko pomoč.
Čeravno je minilo že celih 19 let, odkar krije hladna zemlja mojega soproga, dobrotnikov še nisem pozabila, prav tako ne naše jednote, ki mi je stala na strani v najhujših urah. Zato pa
tu. V tem letu smo pridobili 4 člane, dva v mladinski oddelek in dva v odrasli. Najprvo se je potrudila naša sestra Rozi Krnc in nagovorila mlado dekle ruske narodnosti in jo vpisala v jednoto. Drugi novi član pa je še mlad mož Anthony Adams. On je pristopil zadnji mesec. Tretjega pa sem jaz pridobila v mladinski oddelek — vzela sem ga ravno pred nosom agenta zavarovalne družbe. On je sinček ^Potokarjeve družine, kateri so vsi razen očeta člani našega društva. Četrtega pa sta vpisala društvena odbornika in aktivna člana Frank in Frances Tegel. On je njun vnuk. Torej še 21 članov in naša kvota bo dosežena. Pojdimo vsi na delo in uspeh bo gotov!
Ob zaključku pa vabim vse članstvo na redno sejo 9. marca.

"SVET BREZ SOVRAŠTVA"
Cleveland. O. — Slovensko dramatično društvo Ivan Cankar bo vprizorilo v nedeljo, 16. marca, ob 7. uri zvečer krasno novo dramo "Svet brez sovraštva", ka-tei-o je spisala Mira Pucova. Drama je v treh dejanjih in se vrši v ljubljanskih političnih zaporih za časa nemške okupacije. Slične igre še doslej nismo imeli na nobenem slovenskem odru v Ameriki. Zato ste vsi ljubitelji dramatike prijazno vabljeni, da pridete na predstavo, ki jo bo podalo dramatično društvo Ivan Cankar v avditoriju Slovenskega narodnega doma, 6417 St. Clair Ave. Vstopnina je samo 75 centov, da se tako omogoči vsakemu, da se udeleži te predstave.
Dramatično društvo Ivan Cankar je zadnje čase igralo za dobrodelne namene, kot za mladinsko bolnišnico, SANS itd. Ta

ZAPADNA KEGLJAŠKA LIGA PRIREDI VESELICO
Chicago. III. — V soboto, 8. marca, bo čikaška zapadna liga SNPJ priredila svojo prvo letno veselico v dvorani SNPJ. Na to veselico so vabljeni vsi prijate lji kegljaštva in društveniki v splošnem.
Razumljivo je, da kegljači i-majo redne stroške s kegljanjem, katere vsak posameznik sproti plača. Toda poleg tega so še drugi izdatki, za katere mora skrbeti skupna blagajna, če sploh obstoja. Pri tej ligi blagajna že obstoja, ampak ima luknje, katere je treba zakrpati.
Zapadna liga je bila ustanovljena v preteklem letu, pred to sezono, vsled tega je še na rahli finančni podlagi, dasiravno se je na kegljaškem polju že precej uravnovesila. Vsako nedeljo popoldne so igralci redno na svojem mestu, kjer se kosajo sami med seboj, in s tem je seveda tudi tekma med društvi, kajti s šestimi teami je reprezentiranih šest društev. Posebno ostra je tekma med Ferrerjevci in Pionirji, ker te dve grupi se sedaj borita za prvo mesto. Do konca sezone je seveda še daleč in ci

POROČILO O IZLETNI-ŠKEM PROSTORU SNPJ
Cleveland. O. — Zadnje seje naše farme SNPJ so bile p»*ecčj zanimive. Posebno mladina se je pričala zanimati za bodočnost in izboljšanje izletniške farme. Mladi člani ao mnenja, če se ne bo kmalu gradilo dvorane in I-graltšča za otroke, ae bo pričela mlajša generacija <xltu)evati od tegs našega kolektivnega podjetja.
Na zadnji seji je bil izvoljen stavbinski odbor, kateri bo pre študiral, ali se naj bi postavilo le letos plesno dvorano. Do se daj so se zanimala za farmo večinoma le društva starejše gene racije, kot vse kaže, se bodo pričela v bodoče zanimati tudi an gleško poslujoča društva.
Kot običajno vsako leto. tako bo farmaki odbor priredil pikn.k
prednejši list s pripombo, da je v smislu jednotlnih pravil pre povedano oglaševati kandidate kateri koli stranke v Prosveti. Torej tabu!
Ne samo enkrat, ampak že večkrat smo imeli priliko, da bi bil zmagal kandidat, ki bi delal v korist delavskega ljudstva, če bi nam bilo dovoljeno oglašati ga v Prosveti. Pri zadnjih vo litvah v kongres je tu izgubil r.cprednjak za majhno število glasov. Ali je to v korist delavcem, med katere se prišteva večina naših članov?? Ker je novo Izvoljeni kongresnik pustil Izpraznjeno mesto aldermana v S. wardi, je bil na njegovo me sto začasno oz. do prihodnjih volitev imenovan Slovenec Malt Simone. On je tudi zaeno pomožni mestni pravdnik, torej odvetnik po poklicu.
Po primarnih volitvah, ki so se že vršile, bo borba med našim rojakom Šimencem in ne kim Američanom. Torej je v tem slučaju največ odvisno od slovenskih volilcev, ki jih je menda največ v tem okraju, kdo Jih bo zastopal v mestnem svetu.
Čas je, da bi le odpravili tiste
to je za popravi te v vel.ke krivice, ki se je storila primorskim Slovencem in Hrvatom po prvi svetovni vojni, je mož ostal gluh in «lep in te na želje velike večine svojih rojakov m čisto nič ozirsl Seveda se lahko izgovarja, da je Američan. Toda Ame-
organizacija. Seveda, dokler je človek zdrav, nima pojma o potrebi društva in meni, da mu ni potrebno društvo, saj je zdrav, ali pa morda pravi, da že veliko let plačuje prispevke, a ni še centa dobil. Pomisli, brat in sestra, kako sta srečna, ko sta zdrava in lahko delata ter zaslužita denar, dočim bolnik ne more, živeti pa mora vseeno, poleg tega pa ima toliko večje izdatke za zdravnika in zdravila.
Želim, da bi dobile moje vrstice dober odmev, kajti pri društvih je še veliko članov in članic, ki bi se lahko malo poprijeli in nagovorili mladino, da bi se nam pridružila.
Zadnja seja je bila precej do bro obiskana, čeravno Je snežilo kot za stavo. Neki član se je izrazil, da je na naših društvenih sejah res prijetno in gre vse gladko naprej kot po žnorci. Po seji pa se prav prijateljsko po menimo. Kako ne bi bil človek vesel, ko je med takimi člani in članicami. Dobro bi bilo, da bi prišli večkrat na sejo tudi oni čla ni, ki se je udeleže samo enkrat na leto, ali pa Še tedaj ne.
Na zadnji seji smo se spomni
li tudi društvene 25 letnice in ta ko smo odprli kampanjo, da bi pridobili vsaj enega člana za vsa ko leto društvenega obstoja, to je 25 članov, da bo lcpšt «pomin. obenem bomo pa naredili dobro
Cankar je že prekoračilo 28 let svojega plodo-nosnega dela. V par letih bomo praznovali že 30-letnico. Društvo vabi vse tiste, ki se zanimajo za dramatiko, da pristopite kot člani v društvo in se udejstvujete. Posebno se potrebujejo mlade moči. Večina ustanoviteljev društva sicer še živi, toda so se utrudili in niso več aktivni. Zato društvo želi dobiti v svojo sredo mlade moči, da bi nadaljevali z započetim delom in vodili slovensko dramatiko še mnogo let. Mnogo upanja se stavi na bivše učence Slovenske šole SND, da pristopijo k dramskemu društvu Ivan Cankar. Bodočnost je vaša!
Pazite v prihodnjih izdajah na opis te krasne drame "Svet brez sovraštva" in rezervirajte si nedeljo, 16. marca zvečer, da gotovo pridete na predstavo. Igro režira Jos. Skuk, eden izmed u-stanoviteljev društva, in vloge imajo v rokah najboljše igralke, ki so vse jetnice in žrtve naciz ma.
Erazem Gorah e. predsednik.
Poleg dela je potrebno tudi razvedrjlo, in to je glavni namen te veselice. S tem je dana prilika, da se bodo tudi kegljači lahko malo pozabavali, v kolikor jim bo pač delo dopustilo, ob enem se bodo pobližje seznanili z ostalimi člani reprezentiranih društev; a z razvedrilom in zabavo je pa možno tudi blagajno malo podpreti. Za veselico bo preskrbljeno v splošno zadovoljstvo posetnikov. Najbolj boste razveselili vaše igralce, če se v obilnem številu udeležite te priredbe; posvetite en večer zabavo v to svrho in uverjeni ste lahko, da boste zadovoljni in duševno pomlajeni odhajali vsak na svoj dom.
Pričakujoč vašega odziva, vam kličemo na veselo svidenje v soboto zvečer v dvorani SNPJ!

Latrobo. Pa. — prj društvu 725 SNPJ smo pričeli leto precej dobro. V prvih dveh mesecih, v ja nuarju in februarju, smo pridobili devet novih članov.
Redna društvena seja se je vršila 14. febr. in je bila zelo zanimiva. Razlagali smo si pravila SNPJ in razpravljali, kako pridobiti še nadaljnje nove člane. Govorili smo tudi glede ustanovitve mladinskega krožka. Predsednik društva George Nace (Nejs) in Martha Nace sta ob ljubila, da bosta šla z delom za ustanovitev krožka naprej. Ona dva sta bila za to nalogo izvoljena na januarski seji.
Po seji smo imeli malo prigrizka in proslavljali rojstni dan predsednika društva in Valentinov dan Blanchv Nace. članica mladinskega oddelka, nam je za-igrela nekaj pesmi na klavir in tako smo se dobro 7abavali.

Bo lje je, da visijo na stenah pri članih kot pri tajniku v omari Dalje opozarjam člane, da oni kateri so bili že prej pri SNPJ da ne morejo biti pri dveh dru štvih in morajo vzeti prestopni •list od prejšnjega društva k Li liji 764 SNPJ, ali pa obratno Prosim prizadete, da to upošte vajo. To velja za vsakogar, naj bo Peter ali Pavel, zato ne more biti tudi nobene zamere. Kot tajnik Lilije nisem glede pre stopnih listov kratil nikomur svobode, upam, da je ?ie bodo tudi drugi tajniki in da ne bo nikjer zamere.
Na bolniški listi so sledeči Mike Kastelic, 532 E. Linus st. John Skušek, 1411 W. Mineral st. in Jeanette Zupančič, 922 So 75th st. Želim vsem skorajšnjega okrevanja,
Zadnja društvena seja je bila zelo dobro obiskana, tako da je bila dvorana v drugem nadstropju premajhna, zato je bilo sklenjeno, da se bodo vršile seje v bodoče v tretjem nadstropju v veliki dvorani. Potrebno je, da se članstvo udeležuje bodočih sej še v večjem številu, tako da bomo napolnili tudi veliko dvorano, posebno prihodnje seje se naj udeleži vse članstvo, kajti to bo zadnja seja pred 35-let nico, katero bomo proslavljali 13. aprila v S. S. Turn Hali.
Naš odbor je pridno na delu, da bo priredba bolj popolna v danih razmerah. Društvo je sklenilo, da bo dobil vsak član vstopnico, ki stane 70c, kar ni preveč v tej draginji. Vstopnice ima že več članov in članic na rokah za prodajo in priporočam občinstvu, da seže po njih. Nikomur ne bo žal, kajti program bo pester v vseh ozirih. Če slučajno kdo želi vstopnice, naj pokliče Oreh. 1574 in jih bom po slal po pošti. Ali pa pokličite po telefonu blagajnika—Mitchell 2730.
Prihodnja seja se bo vršila 21. marca in ponovno apeliram na veliko udeležbo.

VESELICA DRUŠTVA SLOGE DOBRO USPELA IN DRUGE VESTI
Milwaukee. Wis.—Pred pustna veselica društva Sloge 16 SNPJ je izpadla zelo dobro in udeležba je bila zelo velika. Udele žili so se je člani in članice društev SNPJ in videli smo mnogo prijateljev in starih znancev, kitere nismo videli že več let. Da niso ostala suha grla, je do kaz, ker smo drugi dan šteli prazne sodčke in steklenice. Priznanje našemu pripravljalnemu 'Miboru, ki je izvršil vse delo v tako lepem redu. V tem odboru so bili: J. Jenko, Fr. Perko, Anton Gornik, J. Kump, dalje Kramer, Fr. Primozich, Jos. <>rm, W. Golob, Jos. Strle, Jos. •Strucel, A. Kamni kar, Joe Saj K Mike Simoni in Anton Tra t" k. Kuharice: F. Žužek, M. Gornik. J. Perko in A. Kump. Najlepša hvala vsem!
Imeli smo izvrstno godbo Lou.sa Bashella. Takega vese 'ja in rajanja ni bilo že dolgo v dvorani. Celo naša mladina je '•'Jii plesala slovenske polke kot pa ameriške plese.
Društvo je s to veselico nare dilo veliko reklamo, ki je v ko 1 "t vsem članom, blagajni pa je prinesla nekaj stotakov. Seve-treba je b|lo delati, toda že P"*govor pravi, da brez dela ni jela Vse vstopnice je treba pla « ati /e v marcu, to pa radi dav-

Prihodnja seja našega društva
** bo vršila dne 11. marca. Pri-
t dite na sejo, posebno pa delavni člani in članice, kajti F. Žužek bo naredila veliko špehovo po tico za ta večer. Po seji bomo imeli namreč malo proste zabave.
V Prosveti ste čitali, da se je pričela kampanja za novo članstvo. Pojdimo vsi na delo in pridobimo kaj novih članov iri tako zamašimo vrzeli, ki nastanejo vsako leto, ko umre nekaj članov.
Naši bolniki: Anton Muhich se zdravi v Excelsior Springs, Mo., sestra Mary Starich je prestala operacijo in se nahaja v bolnišnici, br. Louis Pogačar je ležal v bolnišnici dva tedna, zlomil si je roko in pobit je tudi po bbrazu; sedaj se nahaja doma. Sestra Louisa Gričar je zelo bolna in se zdravi doma. Sestra Rose Smaltz se tudi zdravi doma, prav tako Antonia Ad-rojna, br. Louis Parkel pa v o-krajni bolnišnici. Ako vam čas dopušča, obiščite jih. Želimo vsem, da kmalu okrevajo.
Zadnje čase smo imeli nekaj domačih zabav oz. presenečenj. Našima članoma Josephu in Agnes Sajk (?) so prijatelji in hči priredili počastitev ob priliki njune 25 letnice zakonskega življenja.
Domači in prijatelji so priredili zabavo v počast .rojstnega dne Kristini Bregant.
Prihodnja prireditev bo kart-na zabava društva Venere. Pazite na datum. Dne 13. aprila pa se bo vršila 35 letnica društva Lilije. Podrobnosti o tej priredbi boste čitali v Prosveti ali pa na programu.
S prvim majem se bo dnevnik Prosvete podražil za $2, torej kdor se naroči sedaj, si bo prihranil $2. List si lahko naročite pri tajniku ali pa zastopniku Prosvete, ki vas obišče na domu. Prosim, odprite vrata in si naro čite našo Prosveto!

USPEH VSESLOVAN-SKEGA KONCERTA
Chicago, 111. — V nedeljo, 2. marca se je vršil v Amalgama-ted avditoriju vseslovanski kon cert pod avspicijo čikaške pod ružnice Ameriškega slovanskega kongresa. Koncert se je pričel ob 3:30 popoldne in ga je odprl češki pevski zbor Lira z a meriško himno. Druga točka je bila mlada čehinja, ki je igrala na vijolino in obenem pela solo. Za svoj nastop je dobila šopek rož. Za njo je nastopil slovenski moški zbor France Prešeren, ki je zapel "Morje Adrijansko" in "Svobodna Jugoslavija." S to pesmijo je zbor Prešeren vžgal v vseh navzočih slovanski duh in ko je nehal, je bilo is krenega srčnega ploskanja in večina navzočih so imeli rosna očesa od ginjenja iz simpatije do slovanskih oz. jugoslovanskih partizanov. Ker sem ravno pri Prešernu, naj mi oprostijo, če ;jim priporočam, da dobijo v svojo sredo tudi nežni spol, ker po tem bo zbor v resnici efektiven —v ponos Slovencem, ki bo lah ko tekmoval z vsemi drugimi.
Četrto točko je proizvajalo mlado poljsko dekle z umetnim narodnim plesom. Za njo je na stopil zbor dvanajstih pevcev in pevk, osem deklet in štirje mo iki,—poljski zbor, ki je pel ubra no in nastop je bil zelo efekti ven.
Hrvatje so imeli zelo ljubko dekle, ki je igrala na piano in obenem pela, in enega, ki je i-grnl na harmoniko.
Šesta točka je pa bila za Slo vence in Jugoslovane najbolj važna in njim v ponos. Nasto pila je kot govornica mrs. Perin ski, ki je bila delegatmja na vse slovanskem kongresu v Belgrs-du. Ona ni megla prehvaliti ju goslovanskega ljudstva, njega u judnosti, zavednosti in navdu šenja za novo Jugoslavijo. Na hajala se je več tednov v Jugoslaviji in je obiskala tudi Slove mjo—Ljubljano in Bled—govo riLs z različnimi visokimi urad nlki <n s preprostim ljudstvom Ob postajah, koder se je peljala delegacija iz Belgrada v Ljub Jano. so že ob zgodmh jutrajn.h urah čakale množice in pozdravljale delegacijo in glasno Izra Žale bratstvo in edmstvo. Slo vensko ljudstvo se ji je najbolj priljubilo, radi vseh dobrih last nosti In ni se mogla načudit» lepoti Slovenije. In kadar je omenila Jugoslavijo, Sloven jo
in Tita, je vedno bila deležna ogromnega aplavza.	.
Za njo je nastopil neki pravoslaven duhovnik, ki je pozdravil navzoče in želel, da Slovani skupno sodelujemo za uspeh slovanskih narodov.
Za njim je nastopil sodnik iz St. Louisa mr. Buban, v ameri-ki rojen Hrvat, ki je bil tudi de legat v Belgradu. Njegova na loga je bila—kolekta. Napravil je dobro delo, ker se je nabralo nad 1100 dolarjev.
Potem se je program nadaljeval in nastopili so še slovaški pevski zbor (mešan), ukrajinski mešan zbor, kateri je tudi proizvajal narodne plese. Nastopil je hrvaški baritonist, ki je zapel par arij. Vsi so £iU zelo efek tivni in želi odobravanje, posebno pa ukrajinski zbor. Zadnja in najbolj atraktivna točka je pa bila nastop pevskega zbora ruske mladine. Njo pa poslušalci kar niso hoteli pustiti z odra, • tako da namestu dveh točk so morali zapeti štiri, toda občinstvo jih je še klicalo nazaj. Ker je bil program že dovolj dolg,1 se seveda niso odzvali.
Obširna dvorana je bila nabito polna navdušenega slovanskega občinstva. Vsi so dobili nove infpiracije, še bolj navdušeno delati za slovansko vzajemnost in obenem pobijati reakcionarno propagando proti slovanskim na-1 rodom v Ameriki. Slovencev je bilo navzočih lepo število. Žal je pa lahko tistim, katerih ni bilo, ker zamudili so več kulturnega užitka kot ga morejo nadomestiti dolarji.	L. Z.
SMRT ČLANICE. SEJA IN DRUGO
Cleveland. O. — V torek, 25. febr., je društvo V boj 53 SNPJ zopet izgubilo članico Jennie Go-spodarich, roj. Verhovec, v starosti 52 let. Pogreb se je vršil iz Svetkovega pogrebnega zavoda na pokopališče Calvary, in sicer 1. marca. Ona je že četrta dru-štvenica, ki smo jo izgubili v 1. 1947. Naj v miru počiva v hladni zemlji!
V nedeljo, 9. marca, se bo vršila zopet seja društva 53 v društveni dvorani Slovenskega de lavskega doma, začetek ob pol desetih dopoldne. Članstvo je vabljeno, da se je udeleži v velikem številu in pomaga reševa ti zadeve v korist društva in članstva.
Pred elevelandsko mestno zbornico je vprašanje, da se bi v poletnem času porinilo kazalec ure za eno uro naprej. Ker pa mora večina delavstva že sedaj zgodaj vstajati, bi bilo dobro, da bi naši tajniki prčeli pobirati podpise proti taki spremembi, in jih poslali našim mestnim zastopnikom. Clevelandski čas je že tako 40 minut pred časom sončnega izhoda. Društva v 32 war-dl bi lahko sprejela take sklepe na svojih sejah in jih poslala mestnemvi svetovalcu Johnu Princu.

SEJA MINNESOTSKE FEDERACIJE
Ely, Minn.—Pozivam društva v našem delokrogu, da se pripravijo na prihodnjo sejo. ki se bo vriila v nedeljo. 27. aprila, zadetek točno ob 12:30 popoldne v Ely ju. Samo po sebi je razumljivo, da bo seja važna. saj imamo aedaj v Mmnesotl dva glavna odbornika, ki nam bosta imela gotovo dosti poročali s polletne«« zborovanja glavnega odbora SNPJ.
Vsem je znano, da nismo mogli biti v času vojne tako aktivni kot bi morali biti, kajti imeli smo različne zapreke, sedaj pa so odpadle in ni nobenega vzroka, da ne bi bila na seji zustopunu vsa društva. Vsako društvo lahko pošlje na fe-deracijsko sejo pet zastopnikov. Aktivne društvene člane prosim, da se zavzamejo, da bodo njihova društva gotovo zastopana na tej seji in zaeno tudi nekaj prispevala v federacijsko blagajno, kajti brez financ ne more poslovati nobena organizacija.
Torej ne pozabite datuma federa-cijske seje in izvolite zastopnike prej ko mogoče, da ne pozabite na stvar.

MILWAUSKA FEDERACIJA
Milwaukee, Wis.—V Milwaukeeju je zopet precej oživelo na društvenem in kulturnem polju. Društva prirejajo kartne zabave, plese in druge priredite, ki so večinoma dobro obiskane, saj v kolikor Je meni znano.
Pravilno je. da prirejamo uspešne priredbe in naredimo kakšne cente za društvene blagajne ali druge namene, toda kot bl»ga<niku federacije SNPJ mi ne gre v glavo, da je na letni seji federacija zopet ostala brez dohodkov in to že tretjo leto. Dohodkov ni. stroškov pa je bilo zadnje leto $180.S2. tako je o-stalo v blagajni le samo $390.
Stavljen je bil predlog, da bi društva zopet plačevala S12 letne članarine kot poprej, ko je obstojal še krožek, toda predlog ni bil sprejet. Bratje in sestre, ozrimo se nn druge federacije v Ohiu. Pennsvl-vanijl in drugod, katere gradijo društvene domove ln kupujejo prostore za piknike. Tega ne bi mogle, če ne bi imele stalnih dohodkov.
Potrebno bi blip, da bi vsak odrasli član plačal z društvenim ases-mentom nekaj centov za federacijo, kar ni veliko, a se kmalu zbere lepa vsota, če Je veliko članov. Tukaj imamo okrog 2,000 odraslih članov in ako bi vsak prispeval etnt mesečno v federacijsko blagajno, bi to znašalo $240 na leto, ako pa bi prispeval vsak po 5r npesačno, pa bi to znašalo $1.200 na teto. Ali ne bi bila to lepa vsota? Saj danes ni

jolly Allis Lodge
WEST ALLIS. Wis.—It was a long time waiting, but the boys finally come through. It's also nice to know that we have a new scribbler in our lodge, and did a nice job for his first time in print. Nice going. Al. A few more like you and maybe our lodge may hit its stride and once more place itielf where it belongs. At the top. One thing. Al. you're 'very prompt and punctual. Let that be a lesson to you. Adie.
Nevertheless, let me remind you Jolly Allis members that another meeting is around the corner. This Sunday. March 9f at Ermans' Hall. Surprise yourself and everyone else as well, by attending this meeting. With spring and summer on its way. we have a few things to take care of. and your attendance is desired. Our last meeting was not as well attended as it could have been. So let's go. Remember, it's this Sunday at 2 pm. Yes. Phil and Adie, I said 2 pm punctually; promptness has always been my motto.
As I see it. the fued amongst the Jolly Allis Blockbusters and the Wolverine Caboose outfit ore at it again. This may turn out to be quite an event. I can't see anything but a victory for our home club. We brought one jug home by being victorious over the Wolverines. This time H. Rupert won't be able to give out with rew deci-! ns. Yes, Hank. This time it will be the action that counts. So get out your squad and start practising. By the time we get through with you, you may wish that you did bench a few of ydu fellows, and let girls like Ann Padar bowl in your place. Congrats on your fine game. Ann. Just think, three strikes from a perfect game. As for the Kern boys, we have a secret weapon for them. So you see, the winner seems very obvious. If we publicize this event. Hank, we may have to erect special bleachers for the event. What say, boys?
As for our bowlers, the Terskan boys are again hitting their stride and Al Sak is coming around to his old self. John "TRUCK" Bol-skar, one of our pitching greats of yesteryear, too, has gone strike mad. Yes. he pounded a neat §23 a few weeks ago. The first honor score for how far back. John? As for myself, well, you Wolveriftes have nothing to be afraid of at all. I can't see the headpin any more. If Adie ever decides to work with his hands instead of on his hands, he may be ready for. this big match against those powerful Wolverines. Adie. as you all probably know, is a welder, and every now and then he thinks his arms are sheets or frame ready for a spot weld. By the way. have you seen him lately?
No kidding, but with the various lodges having their events, it is your duty to make an attempt to attend. Not only for fiaternal purposes, but for the enjoyment connected with it. Meeting old friends is quite an event. So plan on attending your local lodge's event. J[f possible, get that jalopy <>ut and visit the nearby cities. You'll find that it's fun.
Now comes another membership campaign. Come all you salesman! Let's see who can get the most members. During this campaign awards are presented to the individuals as well as lodges. As for "ur lodge, we also have a goal to "ach. Let's obtain that goal.
Let's also give our support to the Juvenile Circle here in Milwaukee. As I see our roster, we have one '" »wo that are eligible. Let's get '" hind M. Ermenc and her crew of " Presentatives. Remember, some day they will be the strength of !'ur organization. Boost vour membership.

highlights of the snpj lodge campaign
The SNPJ Lodge Campaign, which received the unanimous approval of the Supreme Board at its semi-annual meeting last month, will be a short campaign of only lour months' duration, starting March 1 and ending on June 30, 1947.
Thla new memberahip drive will differ from previous campaigns in that the lodges of the Society, instead of the individual members, will be the principal contestants competing for highest honors and awards. In every case it will be the lodge and not the individual who will be the focal point of activity around which the campaign will revolve.	■
The primary purpoee of the SNPJ Lodge Campaign, like that of every preceding organized membership building effort, is to strengthen the ranks of both departments of the Society by enrolling new adult and juvenile members in our lodges. We can achieve this purpose by living up to the slogan—BUILD YOUR LODGE; STRENGTHEN YOUR SOCIETY!
All through the campaign we will stress the importance of the obligation that every lodge in the Society should strive to reach and surpass the quota of new members assigned to it, and that every member owes his lodge full cooperation and support towards attaining that goal.
Each lodge has been assigned a reasonable quota of new members. This is based on the adult membership as of January 1, 1947. For example, if on that date the adult membership of your lodge was 50 or less, the quota of new members is 5. If the membership was higher than 50, then for every additional ten adult members or fraction thereof, the quota of the lodge goes up one, until it reaches the maximum of 25. Twenty-five new members is the top quota for any lodge having 241 adults or more at the beginning of the year.
The main purpoae of the quota is to equalize competition as much as possible between the large, small, and medium size lodges who will take an active part in the campaign. Whether the lodge quota is the minimum of five or the maximum of twenty-five, or any number in between, all are on an equal level when their respective quotas are reached. In other words a bi| lodge, attaining its assigned quota of 25 new members, is no higher in the campaign standings and, therefore, no closer to the special and grand prizes than a small lodge which has reached its quota of five. It is the number of new members each lodge will enroll over the quota that will determine the final standings and ultimate winners of the campaign.
To further equalise the opportunities of winning the attractive awards offered by the Society, we have divided the lodges into three classes, designated by the letters A. B and C, in each of which a separate contest is being conducted. Lodges with more than 200 adult membeis are in Class A, those having 101 to 200 are in Class B, while all the remaining lodges with 100 or less adult members are in Class C. Under this set-up we have four lodge contests, one for each class and one for all the classes combined.
To increaae the competitive spirit among the lodges in each
classification, the Society is offering, in addition to the individual prizes of $1 to $4 for each new member, nine special prises 1 three in each class ($100, S7S and $50) to the lodges who will enroll the highest numbgAk new members over their quotas, and a single grind prizepBBpO and a membership enrollment plaque to the lodge secunngThe highest number of new members over the quota of all the lodges together. Here is a chance for every lodge to not only increase its membership, but at the same time win a place on the HONOR ROLL and build up the lodge's treasury.
All new members, for whom applications will be filled out, signed and approved in the months of March, April, May or June, except transfers from the juvenile to the adult department, will be counted in the SNPJ Lodge Campaign. Applications for those enrolled in the final month of the campaign must be mailed to the Main Office not later than July 5, 1947.
Lodgea, as well as individual participants, will be entitled to campaign awards only for those new members who Inve been in good standing at least six months. This means that neither lodge or individual participant will receive an award for a new member unless he has paid six monthly assessments.
The non-medical membership applications. Which are now in
effect for the first time, will no doubt be used extensively in this campaign. Under this new application torm prospective adult members, who are not yet 35 years of age and desire to insure for not more than $500 mortuary benefit and $1.00 per d«iy sick benefit, may join the SNPJ without submitting to a medical examination, provided they are in good health and, otherwise, fill the qualifications required by the By-laws. Lodges should exercise the greatest of care when considering the application of any such candidate. In every instance where there is reason able doubt or question as to one's insurability, a medical examination should be required.
The local SNPJ Lodge of which you are a member should mean
«ore to you, particularly so if it Is active and progressive, than any other organized group in your locality. If you went your lodge to be of greater service to its members, to the Society, and the community of which it is a part, you will carefully select your prospects, adults and juveniles, and propose for membership only those who w.ll be an as«et in helping it to become the kind of lodge you want it to be Let us constantly keep before our mmds these-signif cant facts, that the health and character of the new members will go to form the healtlTand character of the lodges they will join, and these, comb ned, that of the society as a whole.
You. who will build your lodge n this campaign, will need mem
beri'hip applications. You will need information on the kinds of insurance offered by th* Society, as well as rates pertaining to the var.ous adult and juvenile plans of protection, etc We advise you to see your local lodge secretary. He will be glad to assist you in every way he can. Should h* be unable to furnish vou with all the information you will need, write to the Mam Office.	MICHAEL VRHOVNIK, Campaign Director.

SNPJ NATIONAL BOWLING TOURNAMENT RULES
The rulee which will govern the eleventh annual SNPJ National Bowling Tournament, as approved by the National -Athletic Board, appear below. These rule« contain a number or changes from those effective last year, the most important of which provides for the division of both men and women bowl ers, each group into two separate classes—A and B. Formerly there was only one division for men bowlers and one for the women, regardless of whether you were an expert bowler or just a beginner.
The primary reason for establishing two classes is to give the average bowler, participating in the tournament, more oppor tunities to share in the distribution of prizes. We believe that this is the more fraternal way of conducting the tournament and that it will result in attracting a larger number of entries from the mediocre and beginner bowlers of the Society, many of whom stayed away from past tournaments simply because they felt there was no chance of success. This two-class set-up is not perfect by any means, but it is an improvement over what we have offered in prior years. It will probably work into something better as we go along and learn from our experiences and mistakes.
Undoubtedly some of the rules, particularly number 4 and 6, will not be fully understood. We urge all who are interested in entering the national bowling classic at Chicago on April 25, 26, and 27 to read the rules over carefully and, if there is anything you are doubtful about, have the local lodge secretary or your athletic director write and request an explanation.
According to Brother James Jachino, Tournament Secretary, all entry blanks were mailed to local lodges early this week. If you don't have yours by the end of the week, drop him a line and he'll be glad to accommodate you. Remember, the closing entry date is April 10. That doesn't allow you much time to organize your teams, so let's all get busy during the r.ext five weeks and see if we can't set a new entry record long before the deadline. Send in your entries and fees as soon as possible and, at the same time, don't forget your hotel reservations.	ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.

CLEVELAND, Ohio.—For the first time this season a new name undis putedly adorns the top shelf in the Sunday SNPJ Bowling League. The Utopian-1 warriors and the Lunder AcUmic aggregation had dominated the group all season long with the Cleveland 2 crew, previously tagged as the dark bprses,' were leiaurely lodged in third place. After dispoe ing of the Euclid 158 youngsters in all three contests, the active Cleve-landers npw enjoy a two and a half point lead over their Utopian rivals with six weeks remaining on the schedule. The pressure is on, fellows!
Frank (Ozzie) Ostanek and Vic (Svec) Gruden lifted the winners in the lead with 574 and 566 series, rc spectively John Zgonc's 480 was beet for the losers
No kohaata here! The Utopian-2 bad men made this change possible by taking two games and three pointa from their brother members, the Utopian-1 Red Shirta. Burly Carl Krause barreled in a 558 set for the former while Joe Matthews with a 562 series took high honors for the latter.
The Lunder-Adamic keglers were virtually slapped out of the pennant chase after dropping their match to the Loyalite-I quintet. Stan Sustar-sic led the Loyal ite parade with a 566 series. Frank Svigel hit 537 for the sagging Lunders who absorbed their sixth straight loss.
TEAM RESULTS: Cleve-2, 3, Euclid 158, O. F. Ostanek 574. J. Zgonc 480. Cleve-1, 3, Loy-4, 0. L. Gabrenja 585, M. Krall 516. Loy-3, 3, Comrades 0. F. Zaman 574. J. Koren 534. Loy-5, 3, Lunder* 0. S.

News for Yom Strabane invades Cleveland! Don't get alarmed, members. for it was Only for the bowling warfare that these lads down from Pennsylvania way stomped into our town over the weekend. Had the pleasure of meeting these likable lads in the persons of Rudy Krulce, 'Billy Tomsic, Tony Progar, Carl Pod-boy and Ed Zuzek at the Bowlers' Dance held Saturday night at the Slovene Home on1 St. Clair. Sunday afteroon Whltey Matthew* and yours truly dropped ih at the East 152nd st. alleys to matt the rest of the gang, E. Chesnic, E. Delost, B. Ches-nic, J. Tomsic and S. Krulce.
The match game between these two out-of-town teams vs. the Loy-alites ended sociably, one victory for each side. The Loyalite-1 squad powdered a 2637 series to their opponents' 2573. Morri* Debenak starred for the lo0d lads with a 618 aerie* that included a 255 game. Carl Podboy also belted a 255 scorcher in a 574 series to sparkle for the visitor*.
The table* were turned in tho other pairing as the Strabaners' speed ahead, steamed in with a fine 2665 total while their foes staggered across with 2426. Stanley Krulce and Ed Chesnic had 565 and 517 for thf victorious gents. Frankie Yankovich, the popular accordion man, performed as brilliantly on the lanes
SNPJ Recreational Farm in Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Ohio.—Spearheaded by the younger element composed of members from the Utopian, Struggler, Loyalite and Comrade lodges, revived interest is being manifested in the SNPJ Recreational Farm, backed by the cooperation of the old members.
Everyone knows the past few years have throttled the growth of this project. The go ahead sign is in view. The present Farm Board has representation that breeds determination. If fellows like Hank Zorman from the Utopians, Shorty 2£adell from the Loyalites, Tony Kerze from Comrades and othetf have their way the first goal, a new dance pavillion will soon be started. Tentative plans are to build a hall on the site of the old building, patterned somewhat after the one in Eveleth, only on a smaller scale.
The question of finances is an important one but one that can be overcome in my estimation. Here are some of my ideas on the "how" to raise the money. I am sure that other members also have ideas.
a.	With the number of lodges in Cleveland proper, donation* of sizeable amount« (not $25 or $50) could be secured.
b.	Once the people know that the building will be started individual donations from every SNPJ member of |1 or tr.ore could be had. This donation could be in the form of some drawing.
c.	I am sure that the directors of the National Homes would make available a series of Friday night dance dates. The Loyalites would take charge one night, Strugglers the next, followed by Spartans. Comrades, Utopians, Concordian*, many of the older lodges, etc. One set of tickets, one sign and other idea* would keep the expense doyvn to the minimum. A series * of 10 to 15 dances would net a tidy sum. There is no reason why the halls should not be rented for suih a cause rather than to outsiders.
d.	A combined dance of all Cleveland lodges could be held.
e.	Drawings of various natures could be sponsored.
% f. A combined picnic could be staged.
Enough funds could be derived from the above sources to pay for the entire hall, if not the major portion of It.
As regards other equipment, Comrades have started the ball a-rolling. An order has been placed for a set of swings, with delivery promised the latter part of June or early July. When the swings are installed dedication ceremoney will be sponsored. Other lodges will no doubt follow suit in the securing of additional equipment. Details as to who to contact will be gladly furnished by the writer.
Some lodges may wish to donate refreshment stands, others barbecue pits. etc.
The thing to do now is to get an architect* decide where and the type of building to put up, make plans for raising the money, than full

CHICAGO.—Entry blanks for the 1047 National SNPJ Bowling Tournament have been mailed to all English speaking lodges and to some of the senior lodges. Jame3 Jachino. tournament secretary, stresses the importance of returning these forma as quickly as possible. Our bowlers should know that the entries must be in the hands of the tournament secretary not later than April 10, to enable him and his coworkers to prepare a schedule and notify the team captains when they bowl. At the same time we want to stress the importance of making reservatlona for your housing accomodations. With the entry blanks went a form on which housing accomodations should be reserved. This form is returnable to Anne Cartier who is in charge of the housing committee.
•	• ♦ a
Because the tenpin tournament will be held in two classes, a rec-» ord number of entries is anticipated.' The invitation which went along with the entry blanks states that it is the consensus of opinion of those active in SNPJ athletic circles that this should be the largest tournament ever held by our Society. A record number of entries will mean a record prize list. The separation of bowler* into two classes will enable more of our bowlers to share in the prize money. The tourney is scheduled on April 25, 26 and 27 and teams in the Chicago area are requested to bowl on Friday nipht. April 25. The Slovene Labor Center. 2301 S. Lawndale, has -been designated as official headquarters. A large committee is meeting regularly, which will mean that things will be well polished for the smooth
operation of the tourney.

Dates to Remember In Detroit, Mich.
DETROIT.—The Wolverine lodge will hold a big game night on March 15 at the John R Hall. As always you can have a swell time at a Wolverine affair and March 15 will be another one of those already popular Wolverine nights. So come on, folks, bring your friends, neighbors, relatives, etc., to the Wolverine game nite where friend meets friends and east meets west. Many prizes and dancing will follow.
The Detroit Federation will hold a bingo on April 12 also at the John R. Hall. All SNPJ lodges of Detroit should urge their members to attend this affair, as the federation i* a very worthy organization and the money derived from these affairs is used for many worthy causes.
The Wolverine spring dance will be held May 24 at the West Side Hall on Livernois. Make plans now to join us on this date.
If your lodge is holding some event in the near future just drop us a card at 1045 W. Lanz and we will see that it gets into the Pro-sveta. To the westside organizations, why not drop us a line and let us know of your future social events, thereby increasing the attendance at your affairs.
Friendly Views: Frank Kirn is doing a good job on the bowling shirt committee and Joe Kern has already started the ball rolling in regard to hotel reservations for the Wolverines at the coming pin tourney in Chicago. Which goes to show yyhat attending a lodge meeting can do in making members active again. ■Believe it or not, Boss Obed has gone and done the unbelievable; he had his favorite mustache shaved off. He claimed that some charming young lady forced him to part with his attractive mustache. This is quite a shock to all of us as thit, is the first time that a woman ha* forced Boss to fall in line and do her bidding.
Bro. Joe Korsic, an SNPJ pioneer here in Detroit, is still working towards a bigger and better Slovene understanding here in the motor city. Bro. Korsic has worked a good many years in trying to build a strong Slovene group, that is, to have all Slovenes to cooperate and stick together.
To the Jolly Allis and their scribes, Adie Yersin and A. Zupan. After reading your articles, the Wolverine Caboose held a special meeting and here are the minutes of this conference. Our group is not interested ip individual biographies and hiatorical backgrounds. But we are interested In the amount of pins your team expects to give us in form of a spot. Here in Detroit we usually settle for 00 to 08 pins Also we contacted a railroad#man and this gentleman informed us that it is always safer to cross a railroad track in the rear of the caboose than it is to cross in front of the onrush ing train. So to you Yersin and Zupan, in Chicago at the pin tourney, be on the aafe side, just wait for the Ca-booae and then crosa the track.
To all Wolverinea and friends, we are accepting donations for the coming bingo on March 15 If you have a prize you wish to donate to help make thi4 affair more interesting, we will be glad to have it.

Fire losses in this country during January of 1047 totalled over fifty-seven million dollars and are the highest on record for any single month. What is worse, fire losses during the twelf month period ending January 31, 1047 were over five hundred sixty eight million dollars, or an increase of about 25% above-a like period for the prior year. All kinds of catastrophes have overtaken our daily lives. Everywhere you hear of explosions! train wrecks, fires, and accidents! It takes so much time to build things, yet they are so easily destroyed in such a hurry. You would think that the powers that be would hold off some of these destructive forces. A fire prevention week isn't sufficient. We should have fire prevention years and make everyone understand the need for being more alert and cautious about this dreadful destructive force.

The Chicago Civil Liberties Committee which is holding its annual meeting on March 22. with its guest speaker O. John Rogge, has sent out interesting information on the speaker and some thoughts about what must be done in order to stop fascism in our country. More and more the commentators are beginning to recognize that our country is being isolated from the trends in Europe and on other continents and more and more they feel that fascism is creeping upon us. It is necessary that our young people be alert to the things that are happening so that they will know how to act and avoid a calamity for all of us. You should hear this man Rogge.—The Modern Review, a new publication, will treat such stories as "Mahatma Gandhi," "Generalissimo Stalin," "The Crisis in Italian Socialism." "American Liberalism Mobilizes." "Existentiudism." "The Trend in Phylosophy" and a number of other subjects with broad meaning». The world is traveling fast and in order for us to cope with it. we must know what is all behind the
power that moves it.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1947
PROSVITA
By Louis Boole«
THE BRITISH Labor government in a tough spot and is getting
more than its share o/ "bad breukes."
The latest is the coal crisis, caused partly by an unprecedentedly cold and snowy winter. The British people shiver in unheated homes, factories shut down, throwing millions
out of work.
To discredit the Labor government, the Tories headed by Churchill make the most of it. However, as a matter of fact, the roots of the trouble go back to the years of Tory rule, and the situation would very likely be still worse if the government hadn't taken over the mines.
The former private owners depended on cheap labor to make profits, and installed almost no modern equipment. Working conditions were so bad that thousands of miner« quit. Under public ownership, labor has been trying to remedy these faults, but had little time before this tough winter came along.
ANOTHER "bad break" for the Labor government is the fact that it is in power at a time when the British empire is crumbling.
The rapid disintegration of the empire was caused by the last war, but the beginning of disintegration dates back several decades. It is quite apparent now that nothing can stop this process, not even American money.
No one needs to cry over its passing. The British empire was built on conquest and usurpation, on exploitation and slavery of the colonial peoples, all for the glory and profit of a few powerful monopolists.
Millions of British subjects were kept in subjugation for centuries and now they are beginning to free themselves.
The sooner such a rotten system crumbles, that much better it will be for humanity and for world peace. The Labor government should hasten the end of this system by freeing all the peoples held in bondage by the British.
IT APPEARS that India, long kept in check by the British, will soon gain her independence.
Burma, too, is on the road to freedom, and so are the millions in the East Indies. It seems that one by one the numerous British subject-nations are finally awakening and demanding their rights, And Britain is no longer able Upkeep them in subjugation with the bayonet.
This fact was brought to light in the glaring announcement last week that Britain finds herself too weak even to continue her support of the present fascist government in Greece. What now?
Lo and behold! America is called upon to keep the British commitments in Greece by supplying the dough that will run into heavy millions of the taxpayers' money. All this to "save Greece from communism."
There is no doubt that America will fall for this trick. For there are too many who are blind to the rising tide of human progress and the inevitable changes. They are blind because they are immensely rich and seemingly powerful, but the will of long suffering humanity is tremendously more powerful . . .

Activities Among Our SNPJ Juveniles
All the way from New Smyrna Beach, Florida, comes a report from Sister Frances Benedict that a new Circle was organised there on February 14—Valentine Day, Ten juvenile members, all over 10 years of age and their organizer and director of activities attended the initial meeting and proceded to elect officers, dis
cussed their duties, decided to hold meetings twice monthly at the local SNPJ Home, and also selected a very appropriate name, Sunshine Circle. Following the business session of this important gathering, the children all joined in a party in which valentines were distributed, games were played, prizes were awarded to the winners, a number of popular songs were sung and, as the final treat of the evening, refreshments were served to the entire group.
"The children enjoyed themselves so much," wrote Sister Benedict, "it was difficult to break up the party, and they're all so enthused over the interesting program of events scheduled to take place in the near future. including the presentation of the Circle Charter received from the Main Office, and the«celebrations planned for Easter-time and Mother's Day.'' We learned, also, that one of the first acts of the Parent Lodge (603), upon being officially notified of th4 Circle's successful organization, was to donate a sum of $25.00 to its treasury and authorized the Circle Director to appoint an assistant from the adult membership to help her with the work of conducting the Circle. We can see from this that the real spirit of the SNPJ
Badgerland News
MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Another Badger meeting has gone into the record books. In ihe absence of Prexy Tony Verbick. Bro. Frank Schneider handled the gavel in good fashion.
It is interesting to note that more Badgers are taking part in discussions that take place on the floor. That in itself is a very healthy sign and we hope the younger members will continue to show interest in lodge meetings and activities of the lodge. Two transfers from the juveniles were accepted. They were Rosemary Baraga and Joseph Pe-tershack.	•
Sis. Marie Ermenc, our newly elected Juvenile Director, gave a detailed report of the start of juvenile activities. The first meeting will be held March 15 at the Reber-nisek Hall. Starting time will be 2 pm. Sis. Ermenc has quite a job on her hands and it is up to all of us to give our help whenever required. The parents of these youngsters cans tart the ball rolling by seeing that their youngsters are present at this meeting. So let us all cooperate and show these youngsters the advantage of being a part of this worthwhile movement.
We welcome into our fold Bro. Frank Szalkowski. We hope, Frank, that you will find time to attend our meetings and meet the gang. We are glad to state that Fannie Gaber has reported well. Those on the sick list are Frank Spek, Margaret Lipovsek, Louise Palkowski. Pauline Pink, and Sel-ma Schneider. Our congratulations to Martin Fritz and Betty Brenner who were married on Feb. 18.

Fanny Kropusek was also in the groove as she splattered the aetups for a 488 series. Mamie Ermenc was right behind with a nice 482 set.
Katherine Hausner had the next best total with her 436 series. In the regular Wednesday nights session. we find Matty Graf leading the parade with his 587 set. Billy Ambrosh held the second spot as he cracked '552 with a big 206 game. Stan Sedmak finished thr good scoring with an even 550.

On Sunday. February 29, it was
my pleasure to be present at the concert given by the Juvenile Sinf> ing Chorus of the Cleveland SNPJ Federation. This all-girl chorus, comprising of some thirty or more voices, directed by the well known singAr, Frank Plut and accompanied at the Piano by Vera Milavec Slejko, very ably presented a program of songs and music which thrilled the audience of several hundred listeners for nearly an hour. Looking very attractive in their new Slovene costumes, which we learned were made by Sisters Marie Stefanic and Agnes Jeric, the Chorus started out slowly with two short selections, "Slovenska deklica" and "Svetlo solnce,' 'and gradually warmed its way into the hearts of all their listeners until it seemed they had won them over completely with thoir more lengthy and difficult closing songs. A duet, a trio, a harmonlka solo, and two piano solos gave the concert additional appeal and cultural balance. Brother Plut ha« done a remerkably fine job of developing the talents of this group into a well organized singing unit. We congratulate him and the Chorus, as well as the Federation of local SNPJ Lodge«, on the splendid pro gram arranged for this concert.
One of the finest activities a lodge or Juvenile Circle or a federation can sponsor is a singing chorus such as they have in Cleveland, with the exception that I would make every possible effort to also include boys. I do not exaggerate in the least, when T make the statement that nothing would please me more if the principal activities of every Circle were centered around music and song, supported to some extent by dramatics and dancing. This, along with the regular monthly meetings and an occasional party, picnic or social would Just about complete the Circle program as far as I am con cerned. Truthfully, there is hardly a better way that a boy or girl can devote their time more usefully than in cultural endeavor« of this kind. I doubt if there is anything which brings out the best in young people and pld more quickly than does music. vocal or instrumental or a combination of the two. Its possibilities of spreading good cheer are so great, that we should do everything in our power to have more of it in our SNPJ lodge and Circle activities.
During my short slay in Cleveland I met many old friends and acquaint* a noes and, also, had the pleasure of meeting for the first time Sister Marian Adams, daughter of Josephine Tratnik, active Secretary of the Cleveland SNPJ Federation, who is the Director of Juvenile Activities of Lodge 137 (Napredne Slovenke). It was she who informed me of the good news that Circle No. 2 had just been re-organized and was ready to do some of the big things which other active Circles were engaged in doing. She and her aasistant, Nada Zagar, to whom I was introduced, have a very ambitious program lined up for the future and, with cooperation from 'the parents and the local lodges, they will surely succeed in putting the Cleveland Circle among the most active juvenile groups in the SNPJ. . . Other reports of new and revived Circles have been received from Avella, Pa. and Milwaukee, Wis., where Sisteri Helen Ribarich and Marie Ermonc, respectively, are busily engaged in reorgantring the juveniles, and any day now we expect to hear the good new« of a new Cirele in Imperial, Pa., where James Maglich, Supreme Board member, and Polly Sladich and Matilda Koaenina are rounding up the juvemlea for their organizing meeting. But mora about tflese Circle« later . . It is evident that more and more of our lodge« are realizing that the hope of the future lie« in their youth and are doing all they can to »erve the Society and the community through helping theb juveniles

CircU No. 54 Set For Easter Party
SPR1NGF1FELD. ILL.—The February meeting of Lincolnite Juniors Circle 54 was held on Saturday, Feb. 22. with 15 members present.

We were so glad to have Myrna Jean Brinocar at our meeting at this time since she travels from Auburn to take part in Circle affairs. She brought two friends along just to muku the trip to the Museum and we are surry they were disappointed. Installation of officers was the most important work of our meeting and after we adjourned all of us took part in sing-ina a happy birthday song to all members having u birthday during January and February. A birthday cuke was lit up for this occasion und everyone enjoyed a piece after the candles were blown out.
We talked of our Eustetn Party and the meeting on March 22 will be devoted to completing plans for this most huppy event.

This and That
By Peter Eli»h
McKellur and Lilienthal
Recently, 1 found several old copies of the Congressional Record. One is*uc contained u long speech by the senior Senutor of Tennessee. Kenneth D. McKellur, In favor of the Tennessee Vulley Authority. Senator McKellar then wus an ardent champion of public ownership of power in the vulley.
Since those curly duys, the senutor hud hud u chunge of heart, and has bitterlj fought the tva and its chuirmun, David E. Lilien-thai.
Mr. McKellar is a leuding figure in the fight to defeut the uppoint-me lit of Lilienthul to the chulrman-ship of the Federal Atomic Eenergy Commission. His stock argument is thut Lillienthul is u "Communist."
Those who understand practical politics know thut thut is a subterfuge. Senutor McKellur's opposition stems from the fact that he recommended more than 800 persons for lobs with the TVA. Most of these job-seekers were rejected because their qualificutions in many instances were political "pulls" with McKellar und the Crump political machine of Memphis.
Lilienthul refused to pluv politics with the TVA. and by the light of past history, he will refuse to play politics with the Atomic Commission, if he receives the appointment.
Bv removing polities from TVA. und by running the Authority on a regional basis, he has demonstrated that public ownership of power can ho suceeasfulyl administrated.
The TVA has become a yardstick for the cost of power in a vast region of the United State«. Even its most bitter enemies admit the success of Its operutliin
Because of putronuge differences; McKellar has rc«orted U tho "red herring" i«ue in trying to discredit und defeat Lilienthal to the Atomic Commission appointment.
Rut all those that have ulterior methods in defeating Lilienthal, the privute power crowd, the patronage hungry group, und ull other selfish interests ere rallying around the "Communism" issue.
It is discouruglng thut on able public servant who has won his spurs, lias tu undergo the abuses thut Mr. Lilienthal was subject to, especially when the office that he socks Is the most important that has ever confronted civilization.

Why Copy German Militarism?
Is America copying the "general staff" system which destroyed freedom in Germany and made that country a militarist monster? There are many signs that Uncle Sam has started up the same road. He should turn back before it is too late.
The real rulers of Germany before and during the Nazi regime were the professional militarists of the army general staff. Their orders controlled the government, industry and labor. Even Hitler was merely their "front man," Just as the Kaiser had been in an earlier era.
•	a * a •
The drive for peacetime conscription is the most conspicuous sign of expanding military control over American life, but there are others.
The army has dusted off the old "M-Dsy" plan and will present It to a House Armed Forces subcommittee, headed by Congreasman Paul W. Shafer (Rep . Mich ).
This plan, which the army kept trying to put over before the war, would automatically draft workers for industry whenever the President declared an "emergency."
In other words, the bosa of each company would be put into a fancy uniform as a colonel or genet al. His workers would be made privates in the ranks and would have to obey his orders.	•
The "M-Day" plan even provides for conscription of women.
•	• • • a
In short, it would do all and more than the labor draft bill which was defeated during the war. and would do it in any "emergency."
"That's one of the greatest threata in the plan," said Senator Edwin C. Johnson (Dem.. Colo.), who became familiar with the scheme as a member of the Senate Military Affairs Committee.
"Any President who wanted to," Johnson added, "could always produce an 'emergency'" like a rabbit out of a hat. Then workers and women could be drafted
"Any such plan to force labor and industry to produce would fail. Free labor and industry amazed the worid with their production in the recent war, and proved no such plan is needed."
Congressman Shafer. the chairman of the subcommittee, also declared he opposes the labor draft part of the plan, just as he opposed the wartime labor conscription bill.
•	• e e e
The American counterparts of the German General Staff are alao reaching for other powers, a National Council Against Conscription bulletin points out.
President Truman's plan for "unification of the armed* forces," the bulletin says, "would make legal and expand the present strong military influence in shaping foreign policy.
"The plan provides for a Council on National Defense. The ostensible function of the council would be to 'integrate' military and foreign policies, but those charged with integrating policies would inevitably come to make them.
"The council would include four military officials—the proposed secretaries of National Defense. Army. Navy and Air Force—and only three officials from civilian agencies—the Secretary of 8tate (now General Marshall. a military man), the Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of Labor.**
In other words, If the plan were in effect now, five of the seven men on the top defense and foreign policy council would represent the military viewpoint.	1
• • • • •
"Although this plan foneB from the President," the bulletin fcontinues, "It is the creature of military leaders.
"The plan waa worked out largely by General Lauris Norstad of the War Department General Staff, and Admiral Forreat Sherman.
"When the army snd navy write their own ticket, It is not surprising that greater military control is deviaed."
The bulletin then gives a long list of high army and navy officers who are filling "key positions" in our civilian government agencies at home and abroad. In concluaion. it makes this significant statement:
'The use of generals and admirala. to perform tasks that civilians once performed, is giving rise to questions whether the military is taking over the country."—Labor.
A Letter to Our New Secretary of State
Two Americana, recently returned from a two-month visit to Jugoslavia, have written Secretary of State George C. Marshall a report of their observations sbroad in which they charge that the American/Em-baasy "has been using its diplomatic channels in an attempt to undermln« the confidence of the Jugoslav people In their government and, If poasiblc, to encourage an uprising against ——___
confidence of the Jugoslav people in their government and, if poasibla, to encourage an upriaing against that government with arms that would be supplied by us. Wr have seen the evidence with our own eyes and we submit that this ia. to say the least, a highly improper use of diplomatic immunity. Our American Heading Room in Belgrade ia a caso in point (see Appendix*).
From our own experience we know that the members of our Embassy in Belgrade have been attempting to prejudice visitors to Ju-gosltivia against the present regime by filling them, immediately on ar-lival, with wild tales of "terror'' and "slave labor" and "Americana" m concentration camps, etc, These tale» are either outright Use supplied to our Embassy by remnanta of the corrupt prewar ruling clique of Jugoslavia or elae complete m lain tor -pi etation of events on the part of our. Embaasy officials due to their ignorance of the past and present history of Jugoslavia and their inability to understand either the basic problems or the psychology of the Jugoslav people. After such "briefing" it is clearly difficult if not imposaible for even the most unprejudiced and honest reporter to look at Jugoslavia through hia own eyea
When Mr. Patterson, our Arnbaa-aador to Belgrade, charges that United Statea' citisens are being held in Jugoslav concentration camps and thi s«, individuals turn out to be Nari of the worst «ort . . . when he telU people both heie and In Belgrade that he i» afraid to go out on the stieet in Jugoslavia becauae he Would lie killed or at least arreted ... when a member of our embaasy »taff is c«ught illegally changing American doilara in considerable »mount» at a great premium . , , when other members of the staff are drunk in public . . . and when a member of our political mission to Albania personalty directs the sabotage of » project to drain Lake Ms. Iiq thereby cauaing the daath of a number of those miserably poor and
that government with arms that would be supplied by us."
The Americans are Zlatko Balo-kovic, internationally known violin-iat, who ia president of the United Committee of South Slavic Americans, vice president of the American Slav Congreaa. and preaident of the American Committee for Jugoslav Relief, and his wife, Mrs. Joyce Borden Balokovic, a member of an old Chicago family whose ancestors came to Amcrica on the Mayflowei. Mrs. Balokovic is the sister of Mary Borden, novelist. The couple spent four months in England, France, Albania, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia.
Thia ia what they wrote to Mr. George C. Marshall, out new Secretary of State: Dear Mr. Secretary:
We have recently returned from a two months lour of Jugoslavia which we visited, for the first time since the war as ambassadors of good wil! from the peopl* of America to our old friends and gallant alliea, the people of Jugoslavia.
In the course of giving over thirty concerts for the benefit of the Jugoslav Red Croas. we visited every part of the country and enjoyed an unique opporiunity to meet ami talk with hundreds uf people of all walks pf life «mi to become really well acquainted with a great many of the remarkable men snd women who comprise the leadership of new Ju-g«i»lavia, We also made short visits to Bulgaria and Albania where we alio had the opportunity to talk at length with many of the leading personalitw s of the respective governments ,
Wr have returned deeply im prt-strd by the mirscl* of reconstruction. physical mental and spiritual thst has already taken place in these count t lea, e> penally in Jugoslav lain spite of the incredible honors of war «nd domestic treachery through which they have patted, »nd in apite of their difficult political and social inheritance from the unhappy past And we have returned deep ly concerned over the diaastrous pot-ley which our representatives have been trying to carry out in this part of the world. We consider it our duty, as Americans, to inf«»rm you. Mr Secretary sbout our esperiences and out obaer vatkms. at ieaat in so far as they concern the relations lie tween the United States »nd the countries we visited
on the Jugoslav people and on us of our determined and unjustified discrimination against them on almost every issue which they consider of vital importance. The caae of Triaata ia the most conspicuous, but there is alao the matter of the river barges belonging to Jugoalavia which we insisted on holding, until recently, in our zone in Austria thus depriving Jugoslavia of the uae of these barges for the transport of food during the two most critical postwsr autumns.
There is the caae of the equipment of the foundry at Zenica. near Sarajevo, which was stolen by the Germans and made part of the Goering Works at Linz, again in our occupation zona in Austria and which we have ao far refused to return to Jugoslavia. There is the Jugoslav gold in thia country which is still frozen although we have already unfrozen even the Austrian funds on deposit here. And so forth and so on. Nor should we forget our sheltering of out and out traitors and war criminals in the displaced persons camps in Italy, Austria and Germany and our encouragement of Mkcek, the former Croatian Peasant Party leader who waa a traitor even to the prewar Royal Jugoslav government when he welcomed the Fascist Usta-shi forces into Zagreb on April 10, 1941.
Our obvious attempts to force a change of government or at least a change of economic policy in these and other countries who now have similar economics are harming only oursslvss. They are bound to fail for the overwhelming majority of the people solidly support these governments and these economic policies and are impervious to bribes in the form of credits or food for they are not that much intereated in money and as for food, they have been hungry before and survived. Neither can they be intimidated by the atom bomb snd the rest of our vaat military and naval establishments. U impresses them not at all, for they have survived such horrors that they h^ve passed beyond the'reach of fear and would, in any case, prefer to be annihilated than give up what they consider their freedom and their opportunity rapidly to increase their own physical and spiritual well-being.
No, from the point of view of our own intereata, our policy, as carried out by our official repreaentatives can have only the catastrophic result of alienating all our traditional friends, thus leaving us iaolated in a hostile world. It is high time we realized that atom bombs and other instruments of maas slaughter are no substitute for the friendship of the peoples of the world.
The people of the world used to be our friends. They used to love us. They used to trust us. And now—? What has happened to us? Why are we tha richest and most powerful nation iq the world, apparently so frightened that we have become untrue to the principles upon which our country was founded?
Is it perhaps possible that a small group of blinded men in Great Britain have thought they saw a chance to reverse the historic roles or their country and ours, by making America Instead of England feared, hated and distrusted? Is it possible that some of our inexperienced foreign policy makers have walked into a trap? Recent events would seem to indicate that this may be so.
We feel sure that there ia still time for our country to retrieve its lost poaition. Tha people in the countriea we visited are, obviously, hurt by the sttitude of our Government towards their countriea. Onu of them in Jugoalavia expreaaed their hurt bewilderment thia way, "We cannot understand the official American attitude towards us for we have slways considered America as practically our second homeland." In spite of all thia they stii: love and trust the American people and are deeply grateful for the help given them through UNRRA, through the American Red Croat« and through other private relief agencies They do not, however, consider "chsrity" a sub^Utute for Justiea. Nor ia it!
The people and the governments of the countriea we visited still have faith in us. the people of the United States, and they believe that our official attitude towards them, and some other countries as well, will change. For our own sskes it must change—and it muat change now.
It has been demonstrated over and over again that no power can dominate the world by fores. There are always enough people who simply refuae to submit to force and even the Nssis. with their cold blooded and efficient extermination policy found tt Imposaible to eliminate them all. No, the people of the earth cannot be held tn subjugation by fotce They could, however, be lad provided the direction were towards a steady improvement in general wel fare.
Today the Unitad States has «n unique opportunity to lead the world Into an era of unparalleled iV MM prosperity ami peace If we lose

OBSERVATIONS
By Franc Podgorski
American liberal writers had cut and blazed a wide open rosd of knowledge for sll those who wish to know what wars the original ideals of this republic. Why free men of this democracy have not yet laid the firm foundation to bridge the chasm of society for life of abundance.
In every field of knowledge we can find early footsteps of great men pasting before us like Thomas Paine, much ignored yet by little men of America, but not forgotten elae-where in the world. He will sooner or later emergeffin his full light among American revolutionists and that will be second to none.
Robert Ingersoll was another great American who ..cast a powerful searchlight into every corner of the land where small minds tried to keep others in ignorance. His work and his powerful arguments are worthy to know»/as a yardstick of the truth.
Clarence Darrow was another of the American lib«?al giants who just passed ahead of us, but had left a great libertarian ( footprint in our sands of time. Among other things he had done was to finance a superb color film "From Amoeba to Man." This film gives more quick knowledge of life than several volumes of reading. To b^ure, this great picture is not liked by good people In the upper crust ag it tells too much about men being all just men. Biography of this great man will live for a long time. „
In the field of biology, America again has produced greet liberals such as Jennings in his masterpiece, "Why Do We Behave Like Human Beings." Moeller, Texas biologist, in his book "Out of Darkness" points out who is k<*ping us ignorant and why. Liberals have opened and held new vistas for Americans everywhere; without them and othera in foreign lands who led the humsn herds out of' darkness, we could still be burning witches.
I slmost forgot to mention one more great American. Captain Huch-ingaon, who devoted fifty years of his life in archaologicsl research, and published a few years ago re* suits of his work in a book called "The Land of MuJ'
Incidental to thia work, I would like to see the California Legislature accept unanimeugiy a bill introduced in thst ststs now, where the reading of goapsl In schools would be permitted without comment, thst The Land of Mil" also be read without comment.' If that be done. I venture to predict that we would have far leas fish-headed politicians and only a few bsckwsrd looking minister* of goap*!.

Slav Festival Observations
CHICAGO.—The American Slav Festival held at the Amalgamated Hall last Sunday afternoon was indeed a treat for those who enjoy the colorful, cultural traditions of a people. The object of the festival was to raise funds for the continuance and the workings of the American Slav Congress, and a better example couldn't have been shown than through this type of program participation, the need and necessity of having and maintaining a medium such as the American Slav Congress.
Almost a dozen nationalities were on hand to present a sample of varied group singing and folk dancing ,as well as many fine song, instrumental and dance solo numbers. Especially well received were the Ukraininan Song and Dance Group, and the Russian Chorus. The complete Ukraininan group wore colorful, authentic costumes that Were beautiful to behold, while the simple, dignified stage presentation given the appropriate songs chosen by the Rusaian group made them memorable.
Only two speakers were scheduled, Mrs. Mary Pirinsky of New York, and Judge George Buban of St. Louis, both of whom were delegates from the American Slav Congress to the Slav Congress held in Belgrade last December. Mrs. Pirinsky delighted the audience with her brief, but very descriptive observations of that important seasion. She mads one feel as if they were snd hsd been a part of that historic delegation. Judge Buban, American-born of Croatian descent, waa especislly of interest to me because of the fact that he, being American born, could view the situations objectively, and hia talk disclosed that he hsd done just this. Both speakers delivered their speeches in a brief, concise, informative manner, and were exceptionally well received by a full houae audience.
It waa a pleasure to sea many of our own SNPJers present, not only giving moral support, but financial as well. France Prefteren, Slovene Male Chorus, sang for the program, and gave a very good account of themeelves. Representing the Czechs from Law nd ale community Waa tha Lyra singing chorus. Both the choruaes mentioned are under the direction of Frank Kubina, and ar* alwaya willing to do their bit for s good csuse.
Dancing In the evening was alao intereating, from my viewpoint at any rate, as several times during the evening, folks from the general gathering, sometimes as high as forty couples, got out on tha floor snd did colorful Ukrsinian and Ruaaian folk dsAces, similar to the "schot-tichea" sometimes done st our SNPJ Hall, although theee were a litUe more on the rugged side. Dances of other nationalities war* also thua-ly honored, and it was s pleaaant climax to s most interesting affair.

Spirit- O- Grams
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—"Build your lodge, strengthen your Society," is a very appropriate slogan for our SNPJ membership campaign now in progress and continuing to June 30.
It will be a "Battle of Lodges" for new members, since lodges are olaasified into three classes—A, B and C, according to membership, and special prizes given to the three highest lodges in each class who procure the majority new members over their quotas.	.
The Spirits number about 86 adult members, which puts them in class C, the quota being 9 members. We should be able to fullfil our quota and then some without any difficulty. Read the rules carefully and note the special awards, the regular prizes and the grand prize to be given to you and the lodge for your efforta. Let's roll up our sleeves and get going right this moment, surpassing all previous campaign records. Remember, no medical examination is required for adults insuring for $500 or less if under 35 years of age or for juveniles, unless insurability is doubtful or questioned.
A Welcome Home Banquet will be held at the exclusive Rose Bowl, 3323 S. Kingkhighway, on March 22, to honor the Spirits' servicemen. Their wives or dates or mothers will also be our guests (without charge). All other members are required to psy for their reservations, which should be in by March IS. You may phone or write Chairman Sophie Vertovsek, Fl. 3020, or Sec'y Mar-koff, Lo. 5589. The Rose Bowl's photographer takes photos of all special occasions held there, and it certainly would be nice if our members would attend in full number so that we can have a photograph made of this rare event and have it shown in'the Prosveta.
At present we have only three members in the armed forces, Pfc. Joe Johnson, 37823339, Hdqter Btry, 8th FABM, APO 25, c/o PM, San Francisco, Calif. Pvt. Frank J. Schmidt, R.A 162,20259, Co. F 2nd Training Regt., Rep. Depot, Champ Stoneman. Calif. Pvt. Jacob Kacin, R.A. 16227125, Hq. Co. 1077 Eng. Cons. Grp., APO 301, c/o PM, San Francisco, Calif. The boys always welcome a letter from those back home, let's not neglect the boys in service just because the war is over (or is it?).
Another important event here in St. Louis is the banquet held March 23 at the Kingsway Hotel (across from Forest Park) given by the local Slav Congreas in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Zlatko Balokovic of New York who have recently returned from a two-month tour in Jugoslavia. Mr. Balokovic gave 35 violin concerts there for the Jugoalav Red Cross, and they donated their 27-room castle on the French Riviera to the Jugoslav artists.
To Mr. Joseph E. Da vies, former U. S. ambassador to Moscow. Hal Boyle of Associated Press reports that for "several seasons" you have left your Florida $3,500,000 palatial residence (which requires 30 servants to staff it) boarded up. Here you and many others take the much needed lumber to board up your palaces. Have you turned s deaf esr to the G»I.s and their families' pleas for only a roof over their heads? May I suggest that you convert this idle mansion into a Veterans' Hospital or into some sort of a cultural inatitution for the G.I.S? You would be a preat American hero by doing so, Mr. Dsvies.
A big boquei goes to our Valentine dance committee, Chairman Sophie Vertovsek, Odella Markoff and Stanley Hervatln for their untiring efforts in handling the affair in sych grand style. They appreciated the members' cooperation especially thoae that worked in various depts. at the bar, Pete Kokal, John Lasterni and J. Spiller (who pitched in); in the kitchen, Mary Rhodus and Frances Mahnich; tables. Anne Kokal, Helen Stuckey, Mildred Doalak and Tillie Hervatin; at the door, Inez Kokal and Ida Baumgarth; checkroom, Tony Pet-rovich Jr., Dan Doelack and Richard Ducote; chips, Frank Mahnich. Thanks again, workers, without you we'd be a mechanical breakdown If any names have been omitted, pleaae bear in mind that It was unintentional.
A letter of thanks was sent to Bill and Mary (Kacin) Straka for donating the beautifully* decorated valentine cake, inscribed on top of it "Good luck to the Spirits." The cake brought in $12.50. Your satisfaction ia guaranteed for tasty deli-
