Spanaki Baski, ki so pobegnili v Frahcijo, ko so Franco-ve čete okupirale njihovo deželo, so postali problem francoske vlado.

Fašistična Španija bi radu pridobila Baske za vrnitev domov, a nima uspeha. Le malo število se je odzvalo vabilu, dočim drugi agitirajo v Franciji za neodvisnost svoje domovine. V finančnem oziru Baski niso breme Franciji. Ti dobivajo podporo 15 frankov na dan od baskiške vlade, katere člani so pobegnili v Francijo, ko so fašisti zasedli deželo. Dalje dobivajo finančno pomoč iz Južne A-merike, kamor se je izselilo več družin in te zdaj skrbijo za sorodnike, ki so ostali v Franciji. Baski so katoliki in sovražijo prav tako komunizem kot fašizem. Njih voditelji poudarjajo, da bodo vztrajali v borbi za neodvisnost. To je glavni vzrok, da bi se Jih Francija rada Iznebila. ker še vedno upa. da bo uspeli* v svojih naporih in končno potegnila nacionalistično Apañijo na svojo stran.

Chicagu, prizadela tudi tiste delničar-doma, ki so člani jednote. Poglejmo stvar z gospodarske ■trani. Po mojem mnenju in mnenju udi, ki se hekaj razumejo na Mpodarska vprašanja, je keg-jtfe ravno tako špekulativna tvar, kakor so bili industrialni ondi, s katerimi smo imeli brid-izkušnje in sedaj se jih pre-idno ogibijemo. Argument onih, ki se ogrevala dodatno posojilo — katere-. je gospodarski odsek jednote večino že odobril — je, da bo l dohodkov s kegljiščem in ta-bodo lahko tudi več odplače-ili na dolg, ter, če kegljišče ne i prizidano, bo trgovina v se-mjih prostorih pričela pešati tako ne bodo mogli zmagovati ojih obligacij. Ampak z več-mi dohodki se bodo z novim ilopjem zvišali tudi izdatki in ijbrie veliko več kot se sedaj tdvideva. Barbičeve številke pokazale nekaj, kar je najbr-marsikomu nerazumljivo in cer, zakaj so stroški enega do-| toliko večji kot drugega v lmeri z istimi dohodki in v i-:m mestu. Jednota je na omenjeni dom ►sodila leta 1928 vsoto $52,-K). Glavnica je do sedaj zni-ina za $10,000 in plačane so o-«sti, kar pomeni, da se je z o-■estmi vred povprečno odplavalo po $2,488.00 letno. Po-dba, katero so podpisali od-vorni uradniki delavskega do-i, predpisuje, da se mora na ivnico odplačevati po $2,000 (tno poleg obresti, dosedaj je l odplačano le po $1000.00 let-kar je izredno važnega potna pri nadaljnjem posojilu. Nova pogodba, sestavljena na •dlagi amortizacije za dobo ^'h let pa pomeni, da - bodo »rali delničarji doma skrbeti, i bo jednoti — vsaj za prva le-~ odplačevano po $500.00 aečno ali $6000.000 letno, po- I tega odplačila pa še za keg-*« onemu, ki ga postavi.

Društvene priredbe Proslava druitva 6 Sygan, Pa. — Društvo Bratstvo 6 SNPJ obhaja svojo 35-letnico dne 30. maja, ko bo praznovalo dolga leta svojega žilavega in marljivega dela na polju bratstva v zapadni Pennsylva-niji. V tem času je izvršilo veliko koristnega dela za razvoj društvenega življenja v tej okolici, kakor tudi za napredek naselbine v vseh ozirih. Bilo je prva veriga SNPJ v zapadni Penni. Seveda je imelo društvo 6 u-godne prilike za razvoj, ker takrat so bile razmere bolj ugodne kot dane«. Takrat je bila premogovna indutsrija zelo razširjena. Društvo je izrabilo vse prilike in hitro zraslo v močno postojanko. Porodila se je tudi ideja, da društvo zgradi svoj lastni dom, v katerem naj bi se zbiralo članatvo in ki bi nsselbi-ni služil sa centrum. Seveda so bile razne potežkoče s tem v zvezi, toda drultvo Bratstvo je šlo na delo in al zgradilo svoj dom. Z zgraditvijo doma se je rsz-mahnilo tudi naše družabno in kulturno življenje v naselbini. Ustanovljena je bila Čitalnica, kakor tudi šola za sngleščino. Ko je bila sprožena ideja, da bi društvo ustanovilo godbo z* mlade fante, se je tudi to storilo. Godba je obstajsls le nekaj časa, ker s tem ni zaslužka, pač pa j« bila bolj za kratek čas. Ve- lik korak k napredku je društvo Resnice teh dni Frank Kerie, Now York (Nadaljevanje Vse to se mi je zdelo vredno, da zapišem, da bo članstvo vedelo, kakšne težave in krize mora prenašati tisti, ki si upa v našo javnost Kolikokrat sem videl stvari in razmere, ki bi bile rabile kritike, smeri in izboljšanj, a nisem mogel, nisem smel. Kolikokrat se je meni iz-vil vzdih: oh, ko bi bil vsaj kdaj tako neodvisen od naših ljudi. In naših razmer, da bi mogel povedati vse res tako, kakor mislimi Preidem s tem na razpravo br. Moleka, ki je obširna in se dotika vseh mogočih vprašanj, na katera ne morem in ne smem ostati dolžan odgovora. Kakor mnogi drugi, bi tudi jaz sam rad več jasnosti in v marsičem nekaj drugega, kakor je danes. Najprej pri vlečem tisto nesrečno svobodomiselnost, za« stran katere je trpela marsikatera glava in marsikateri pisalni stroj. Ali bi segle vse kolone od New Yorka do Chlcaga ali ne, tega ne vem. Vem pa, da je bilo tega dovolj In tudi preveč. Ko so začeli naši ljudje prihajati v Ameriko, so prinesli s sabo ne samo avoje krepko telo z vsem, kar je imelo dobrega, pač pa tudi razmere, iz katerih smo prilli. Najprej so se izseljevali s kmetij in dežele, koder je s pičlimi iijemami vse verno. Kasneje so pritisnili tudi iz trgov in mast. Imeli smo tedaj V stari domovini! fkerlkafizem, liberalizem in nekaj socializma, kar je začelo prihajati polagoma do veljave tudi v Ameriki. Vse je začelo poganjati po tistem kopitu, kakor doma, četudi ni bilo pravega vzroka za to. Cerkev je bila v stari domovini ne samo verska, ampak tudi politična organizacija v precej tesni zvezi z vlado In 6 storilo tedaj, ko je organiziralo mladinsko ali angleško poslujoče društvo, ki danes dobro napreduje v članstvu in je že preraslo starejfte dtuštvo. V lanski kampanji za mladinski oddelek je prejelo prvo nagrado, Seveda smo mu pri tem pomagali tudi starejši člani. 1 Naše društvo je bilo tudi vedno naklonjeno socialističnemu klubu JSZ in ustanovilo je tudi Ženski gospodinjski odsek. Podpiralo Je vedno vse napredne akcije in ustanove. Naj še omenim, da je bilo mesto bre« vseh naprav — brez plina/elektrike in vode — ko so se naši ljudje pričeli naseljevati v Syganu. Ceste so bile slabe, blatne. Naše društvo Je bilo aktivno za izboljšanja naselbine tudi v tem oziru. Za sygansko naselbino ima društvo Bratstvo torej velike zasluge. Po 85 letih je še močno in šteje nad 100 Članov, mladinsko pa več, kaker sem že omenil in na kar smo ponosni. Uspeh mlajše generacijo smatramo tudi za naš uspeh. Njej je treba le poguma. . Za našo proslavo se pridno pripravljamo. Postregli vam bomo najboljše. Toraj bratje In sestre, prijatelji in znanci, vsi ste vabljeni, da nss posetlte v velikem številu na tej proslavi dne 30. maja. Imeli bomo dober program. Za vaš pi set se že naprej zahvaljujemo. Lorenz Kaurlr. sistemom. Kot taka je bila seveda podvržena javni kritiki, imela je pristaše in nasprotnike, kakor jih ima vsaka druga politična stranka. V Ameriki nima cerkev in vera nobene zveze z vlado samo in ni tudi politično organizirana. Je prostovoljna institucija, kakor vsaka druga organlsacija. Ce bi bili upoštevali princip, da dela vsak Človek po svojem prepričanju, daje tja, kamor se mu zdi, da bo najbolj prav, bi se bili lahko ognili vseh bojev. Meni so se zdeli od nekdaj nepotrebni. Jaz grem, mislim in delam prema svojemu prepričanju, to je moja pravica. Ampak to pravico ima tudi moj bližnji in ne samo Jaz. Kar je zame dobro in pravilno, ni s tem rečeno, da mi mora biti napoti sosed, ki ima drugačno prepričanje. Ako zahtevam zase, da apoštuje vsak to/ kar je mojega, je samo pravično in logično, da dajem enake pravice ne samo sosedu, ampak vsem. Lahko govorim in pišem o svojem prepričanju, lahko ga propagiram in iščem pristašev in zaveznikov, a to že davno ne pomen ja, da imam pravico loputati z lopsrjem po tistih, ki so drugačnega prepričanja. Nismo upoŠt#va)l in razumeli, da je Amerika drugačna dežela z drugačnimi razmerami. Kar smo videli in Izkusili v stari domovini, to smo ponovili v Ameriki in že pred tridesetimi leti je bil tak boj javnosti, kakor da res nismo imeli drugih problemov med nami. Prvi so se organizirali v A-meriki katoličani, ki so započeii s svojimi organizacijami in listi. L. 1904, ko se je ustanovila SNPJ, smo imeli tri večje podporne orgsnizacije, ki so bile v načelnih zahtevah vseskozi katoliške. To so bile KSKJ v Jolle-tu. JSKJ v Ely ju in Sv. Barbara v Forest City ju. ?rva je bila stara že deset let, ko se je rodila SNPJ, ki naj bi bila to, kar se je imenovalo v stari domovini liberalno, narodno, napredno sli svobodomiselno. Vsi ti izrszi so se rabili izmenoma In so pome-njall eno in isto, to se pravi: svobodno na vse strani brez ozira na to, ali je to v skladu z vero ali ne. Četudi niso začetna pravila nikjer omenjala tega, ae je dalo presojevatl to podlago že po I-menu: Narodna. Beseda naroden pomenja že sama na sebi svobodomiselnost, ker ne Jemlje za podlago vere, ampak nsrod, kakršen je. Ko smo imeli tretjo konvencijo v letu 1907, sem izdelal jaz vsa nova pravila in jih vseskozi moderniziral. O tej konvenciji bom pisal enkrat daljše spomine, kskor tudi o razvoju, borbi in težavah v SNPJ med letom 1907 in 1911. Pok. Zavertnik Je pissl sicer po naročilu jednote zgodovino o tem. ki pa Je za ta leta In tisto dobo vseskozi ne-točns. Podatki Iz te zgodovine se ponavljsjo od Časa do čssa in vidim Jih spet v ladajl Pro-svete zs 35-letnlco. Nikogsr ne dolžim s tem. da Je napravil namenoma kaj napačnega, ne pok. Zavertnika. ki Je pobral svojo snov Is zapisnikov, niti br. Molka, ki se naslanja na to, ksr Je zapisano. Važno pa Je eno: to, kar je pisanaga, jc bilo za jav-nost. Vsi večji in važnejši vzroki so ostali nezapisani. (Dalje Jutri.) Glasovi iz naselbin "Dva potepuha" v Strahanu Strahane, Pa. — "Kam pojde-mo v nedeljo popoldne dne 21. maja?" "Na vsak način gremo v St raba ne pogledat šaljivo burko 'Dva potepuha'." To je vprašanje in odgovor, ki se sliši po naselbinah zapadne Penne. Da, 21. maja bo dramski klub Soča uprizoril "potepuha,\ to je burko, ki se ne vidi pogosto in tudi ne vsako leto. Meseca februarja leta 1936 jo je uprizoril dramski odsek SND v Waukega-nu, III., in če se ne motim, jo je pozneje ponovil v Chicagu za klub 1 JSZ. V Pennl še ni bila igrana. Ce jo je kdo videl v stari domovini, jo gotovo še Želi videti. Kdor pa še ni videl "potepuhov", ima sedaj priliko do obik) smetho in šaljivih prizorov, V 86. štev. Prosvete s dne 3. maja je bila v mojem dopisu neljuba pomota, namreč, da se I-gra vrši na 6. maja, kar pa je uredništvo popravilo v Prosveti dne 5. msjs, da se igra vrši na 21.rmaja ob 2. popoldne. Prosim občinstvo, da to vaame na znanje in neljubo pomoto oprosti. Vsebina igre je bila opisana v izdaji dne 8, maja. Upam, da se občinstMo odzove k tej tigri iv čim večjem številu ter se nekaj časa duševno zabava in pokram-Ija med inancl in prijatelji. Igralci in igralke se pridno vadijo pod vodstvom Johna 2ig-mana in upam, da bodo kos vlogam, ker igra zahteva Izveiba-nlh Igralcev. John Kokllch, 188.

Kakšna sreč« za nas, ameriške Slovence in sploh Jugoslovane, da Američani ne razumejo našega jezika in ne morejo čitati naših listov niti poslušati naših fanatičnih pridigarjev, kjerkoli nastopajo! To Je res naša sreča. Kajti, če bi Američani dobri, demokratični Američani — razumeli aaš jezik ln doumeli naše početje — če bi namreč vedeli, kaj počenjajo naši ekstremiti in fa-fiatiki vseh barv, ki rešujejo politiko v starem kraju in nahruljujejo vsakogar s fašistom ali komunistom, odkoder že pihajo, ki ne tuli v njihov rog, dalje, če bi vedeli, kaj počenjajo ameriški Hrvatje in Srbi, ki so takisto do patu v starem kraju, tu se pa med sabo opletajo, dS strah, glede vprašanja, kdo naj bo diktator v starem kraju — bi nas resno vprašali, kje je prav za prav naš dom in kaj delamo v Ameriki! Vprašali bi nas, čemu ne poberemo svojih Šil ln kopit in ne gremo tja, če nas Evropa bolj skrbi kakor Amerika! K sreči ne vedo in ne vidijo vsega, ksr počnemo — smpak nekaj le vidijo. Ko namreč ridijo, da mora priti šest policsjev na hrvaški shod — to se je zgodilo pred nekaj dnevi v Chicagu — mirit pobesnele zborovske, ki so razdeljeni nu dve polovici in ena polovica zmerja drugo s fašisti, druga pa prvo s komunisti, tedaj morajo vedeti, da je nekaj narobe z ameriškimi Jugoslovani.

Simpatije a staro domovino, rešpekt do rojstnega kraja in naših ljudi tamkaj je eno, ampak uganjati tukaj starokrajsko politiko, Je pa drugo.

Nahaja se v domači oskrbi, kakor tudi Jo-sephina Benuš. 2elimo hitrega okrevanja. Kot je bilo že poročano, je bil tukaj ustanovljen mladinski krožek članov društva 138 in 589, ki prav dobro napreduje. Mladina bo imela sedaj priliko, da se uči slovenskega jezika. Za učitelja je prevzel John Žigman, ki se bo potrudil in jih učil dvakrat na teden. Zatorej je dolžnost staršev, da pošiljajo svoje otroke v slovensko šolo. Kakor izgleda, se prav dobro zanimajo in imajo veselje. Tisti, ki še ne spadajo v krožek, naj se vpišejo, ker imeli bodo dosti zabave in razvedrila, kar je tudi potrebno za mladino. Seje mladinskega krožka se vršijo vsak prvi torek v mesecu ob 7. zvečer. Le tako naprej.

Program se prične ob 2. popoldne, potem pa bo ples in zabava pozno v noč. Za ples bo igral trio Martina Serra. Odbor je pridno na delu, da aranžira vse primerno temu jubileju. Pripravljeno bo vsega za lačne in žejne. V slučaju grdega vremena se tudi ni treba bati, ker so veliki prostori, da bomo lahko vsi pod streho. V imenu odbora torej vabim vse, da se udeležite te naše proslave v čim večjem številu. Vabljeni so tudi naši bratje Hrvatje in drugi Slovani. Vsi dobro došli.

Vedno znova se poraja vprašanje, da li Jt kratkovidnost podedljiva. V marsikaterih družinah je opaziti to zlo. Liineburški zdravnik dr. Paul je skušal to stvar pojasniti s stati-stiko. Ta zdravnik je proučil nič manj nego 87» rodovnikov, ki so obsegali očesne preiskave za več nego 4000 oseb. Pri tem je zdravnik ugotovil sledeče: Če nihče izmed starSev ni bil krat-koviden, tedaj se je šele na vsakem 4. ali 5. me-stu pojavil kratkoviden otrok. Če sta bila obs starša kratkovidna, tedaj se je kratkovidno« pojavljala že pri vsakem 1. in 3. mestu.

PACE SIX For M ember $ of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes WEDNESDAY, MAY Our Goal Sets Own Monthly Quota Last week's official campaign report shows that the first of the nine campaign months brought us 272 new members, 157 adults and 116 juveniles. This is a good result if we consider the traditional fact that we are rather slow at the beginning of each drive, gaining momentum gradually and reaching our highest point during the concluding period. In this campaign, however, we cannot afford to follow that tradition but must step on the gas right at the very beginning in order to reach our goal of 3500 new members by the end of the year. It would be entirely out of proportion if we put off our campaigning until the closing period. The goal of 3500 sets its own monthly quota which is not less than 389 new members for each of the nine campaign months. On this basis, we are shy more than one hundred new members for the first month. Therefore, it is necessary that we make up for that number during ,, each of the succeeding months by bringing into our fold an average of 400 or more new members. At first glance the quota of 400 new members, adult or juvenile or both, may seem high, but it isn't Not if we '' consider the result obtained in April, the first month of the campaign, which was nearly 300. With a little more ' work the quota can be attained. Let us remember that hi this year's campaign has an even better chance of succeeding than last year's which was limited to juvenile appli-* cants. This year's drive has a much wider scope both in cash awards offered to active campaigners and in its broader field of prospects, because both adult and juvenile applicants count in this campaign. Last year's campaign, however, had the advantage of running twelve months whereas this year's has a shorter run by three months. But this is easily made up by the added campaign features already mentioned. _ . Will our campaign report for the current month reach its quota of 400 new members? It is all up to you active members and lodges—especially up to the English speaking lodges. Let's see it go over the top!

Comments on This and That Bj IVAN MOUSE, Editor MANY ASPECTS OF OUB FRATERNAL LIFE Man ia a creature of diversified interests, and, especially, he is a social animal. He cannot live in a desert alone; he must belong to this or that nation, state, society, or tribe. He is attracted to join a club, league, company, party, and many other outfits either from slieer necessity or just for the fun of it. And when he does so he is expected to be an asset to the group he joins and not a liability or shame. A fraternal society is not only "another outfit;" it is more. It is almost of every purpoae. This is especially true of our Society which sprang into beipg not simply as an insurance outfit but also as an institution for educational, cultural, social, and even healthy athletic possibilities. You and I joined this Society for the many-fold necessities that it supplies and also for the fun that is in it. In short, we all joined it for benefits of various kinds. Moreover, we all want these benefits promptly when due to each of us; otherwise we would not have joined the Society. We all know, or should know, that the management of our Society must be honest. In any case of dishonesty in the Society management the whole Society would suffer, and should this occur repeatedly it would seriously endanger the exiatence of the Society. That is why we demand, and must have, an honest and efficient management. But, in demanding and expecting the honesty and square deal from those of us whom we entrust with our dues, we, too, must expect an abligation from pur trustees. We must continue to be honest, fair, and square with the management and the Society as a whole. The responsibility and fair dealing must be mutual and binding on all parties. The members must exercise fairness not only in payment of dues on time but also in cooperating with the local or supreme of ficers in every uflorthy undertaking within the SNPJ. We have the right to criticise but not to abuse or misapply. When we criticise some decision or motion of a lodge or the Society we should have, first, a complete knowledge of the thing we criticise and, second, we should propose something better in its place. A wholy negative criticism builds nothing; instead, it creates only suspicion and mischief. Let us acquire the habit of recognizing only the constructive criticism. This is honest, fair, and democratic. Let us be fair in all aspects of our fraternal life: in dealing with benefits or social activities, in furthering the Society educational efforts or athletics or in expressing an opinion at the lodge meeting or in tha Prosveta, and then ^e will deserve a better Society with an all-afrtand better leadership. * ¡ -».. | No organization, tribe, nation or state is better than is the majority of people that makes it.

The SNPJ world certainly took advantage if it and the St. Clair-Eddy Bowling Alleys resounded to the pin spilling, greeting, talking 'n' everything. The wholo thing started off beautifully with Secretary Vider rolling the first ball for a strike! From then on thru Sat. and Sun. the bowlers took over. No doubt, the most conspicuous team on the alleya was the Golden Eagle quintet of Girard, O. Their brilliant shirts which caught all eyes can serve as such an excellent alibi to those of us who needed one! Probably the most conspicuously missing were the Jolly Allls' keglers and perhaps our "We Three" deserve that "championship." By now, you are familiar with the outcome of the tournament. We congratulate the winners upon their fine bowling acores and offer a big hand to those people behind the scenes who made it all possible. Our own "Eagle" Ocepek had the honor of rolling the laat ball in the tournament. Viva Wankegan!

Rupert was Universal Comets Complete Plans for Annual Spring Dance Saturday, MQf UNIVERSAL, PA.—If you get the weekly issue of Prosveta on Friday ar even on Thursday—then It's time for you to make final «rr«ngements. Final arrangements, y^s, to attend the Comets' Annual Spring Dancc this Saturday, May 20, in the Universal Slovene Hall. The music of Frank's Trio, those popular radio artists of WHJIB, wilj entertain the greater part of the evening. But there are other forms of entertainment, too singing, polka dancing, chatting with old and new friends, and all those things that make up a jolly good time. Maybe you haven't yet arranged whom you're going with, or what tinm you're leaving. It may be thst you forgot to invite your good friend along. Do these things, and your hosts, the Comets, will take care of the rest. , v We wsnt to express our thsnks for the cards we received from those promising to attend our dance. Those «ctive SNPJ brothers from South Fork, George «nd John Resick. tell us to k««p things wide open for their first invasion. Well certainly do that. So coma out, more of you. We fissure a great time and you can depend on our reciprocation. »»i Any article this year would hardly be complete without some mention of the Jubilee Campaign in progress. If « successful campaign is our goal—and it is—then we've got to make ourselves campaign conscious, and publicity in Prosveta ia ont» inexpensive and valuable way of doing that. To spur ue on even more, the Society has offered many liberal campaign prises. ' seen displaying a pair of powerful binoculars. Our guess is that his umpire's job will be a cinch in this season's baseball games! Mike Kumer should soon have something to say about the new "Experience Speaks Club." Mr. and Mrs. Tex Bolka offer themselves aa living proof that "married life is what you make it" and you can make it a success. Frank Groser was a spectator during bowling events and all because of an infected finger.

Everyone else seemed to be having difficultlea rounding up their strayed flasks for the homeward journey and It wasn't our fault If you failed to notice the oodles 'noodles of times certain people said their good-bys.

With regard to that golf match, Bro. Art Dermotta of >Syffan, be assured that the Comets will not forget your bid.

L. mem bers, that the financial and moral support for our athlatic «ctivities we receive from the Society In the future will depend very largely on our inter eat «nd results shown in membership campaigns. We ought sever to pass up the opportunity of advertising the SNPJ and thia membership campaign at any lodge affair of any importance through the medium of newspapers speaking and radio programs.

Our gueate for the evening will be the Plut triplet, from West Pullman, Wiliam, Herman and Joaeph, playing the electric guitar.. We believe that this concert will be among the very beat Sava ha. ever given, not only because of ao many new songs, but because of the prevailing good apirit among the member. and cooperation between Sevang and their friends. Many are anxiously waiting for the concert, and we are certain they will thoroughly enjoy it. Several out-of-towners are also expected and welcome. We have practiced and worked hard with our diligent director, Mr. Muha, and we shall prove that to you at the concert. In view of the fact thaf. the concert will be on a €~turday evening, the program will begin promptly at 7:80, bo that there will .till be plenty of time for dancing and pro.ta sebava.

In the Proaveta containing argumenta about various subject., on religion mostly, and which are of no benefit to the readers. I agree with Bro Ko.ela on that. Why pick on relig ion? Of course, there are priests and preacher, who practice the oppo.ite of their teaching.. But isn't there crooked work in every profea. ion and occupation?

Of this percent-eg* the girls received that much from the SNPJ donation and the balance from the entry blanks sent in by them. We feel the list made up is accepted by our members as we try and give as many prises as we can and we do not try and give the better bowlers Ale advantage as we are all one; to create bettor feeling this should be done at every tournament, and then we can expect more people to participate. The complete entry blanks, also the scores, are being sent to Bro. Prank Groaer, Sec'y oi the SNPJ Athletic Board, for a checkup by him. After he is through with these the writer would like to have them back to be j>ot in our files.

That is neca'sarjr in order that improvements msy be made in future handling of such affairs. But the time for this would hove been at the tournament, or at the Midwest meeting held in Milwaukee two weeks ago. Queer that nothing of this nature was brought up when the discussion of the 1040 tournament was in progreaa, at thia meeting. ' Nevertheless, in order to avoid the glaring mistakes of our last tournament, are have taken it upon ourselves to thoroughly consider and di«-, cuts the complaints« The first complaint was that the Marino Bowling Alleys were too hard to find, and that there were no signs. The address was on the bowling blanks and w*s slso in the Prosveta, end there ore signs to the alleys. But, to avoid having anyone looking for the alleys ¿or he If sn hour, slthough directly in front of the building, we offer these ramediei. At our next (?) tournsment the building will be pointed s bright yel. low snd srrsngements will be made to hove s tribe of Indisns csmp on top of the building, snd st five minute interval» send up smoke lignsls. The next complaint wss thst 9 games Hi s row hod to be bowled snd one of our critic« didn't he v.» time to est, therefore wss so hungry he couldn't bowl good. It hspptnod thst this lodge requested thst stl their bowling be done on Sundsy. We complied with their request, snd bccsuse there were only four shifts to be bowled on Sundsy, the men were re* quired to bowl 9 gsmea In s row in order to give the girls «onto rest in between gsmea. But sfter profound deliberation the committee hss do-tided thst st our next (?) tournsment in order to prevent hunger from Ntslklng the atomschs of our pin knights, stesk asndwiches will , be served sfter every ftth frame, snd sfter every third gsme, ten minutes will be taken out for lanch at which time chicken snd T-bone stesk din-sers will be served. Our friend from the country might bring slong s heslthy Holstein snd si this contented bovine wsndera shout the slleys, anyone who wishes may partake of s re-1 freshing drink of the white liquid. Also, st our next (?) tournsment] we expect to get Hsnk Msrino's consent to plsce himself In sn informs-1, tlon booth to enswer sny snd sll ques-j! tions.

If you wish to give s soup rich color snd delicious flsvor add a condensed bouillon cube. Apples for bsking should be slit with a knife in a few places before they go into the oven.

A colorful combination for a vegetable plate is baked potato, green broccoli, fried or broiled tomatoes, well-buttered, and' a crisp celery ntalk stuffed with pimento or seasoned cream cheese. Save all odds snd ends of toilet soap of every description. When enough has accumulated, break in very small pieces and put through the food chopper, using the medium cutter first, and then the fine cutter. To one cupful of this granulated soap add one and one-half cupfbls of corn mesl snd put through the food ^chopper sgsin until reduced to s cosrae meal. Thi« may be facilitated by rubbing between the hands io loosen the particles. When all will paaa readily through a meal sieve, add one ouncc of olive oil to each two and one-half cupful« of the soap and corn meal mixture. Blend thoroughly. An ordinary fruit jar with the rubber ring in place makes a good container. A quantity of this soap powder kept on the kitchen sink or in the bathroom will be found invaluable for deeming very «oiled hand« and keeping them «oft and smooth, besides being perfectly hsrmless snd costing next to nothing. Keeping Poor Away From Ballot Box Poverty is to be regsrded ss s crime, to be punished by disfranchisement, under legislation thst hss been put through the Pennsylvsnis Senate. Its «ponaor, Senator George Woodward, Philadelphia millionaire, frankly admits its purpose is to keep the poor away from the ballot box. "I speak for the underprivileged rich," Woodward declared. "Americsn« should be willing to pay something for the privilege of voting. We have too many voters. Tho^e who have a «take in the government should have some preference," The poll tax isn't new. In ancient Greece, Aristotle called it a "must Ignominous imposition which none but slaves paid to tyrants." If the proposal goes through, it will be to the everlasting iharn^ of a commonwealth in which was written the Declaration of Independence. —LABOR. I..S. HuaUrsle, Loyalltaa .. 2.

The dif H tw"' **c,,rin« capable members leader |J As in previous few years, we also observed during the past year the celebration Of SNPJ Day—one in Pennsylvania and a more important one in Detroit on Labor Day. The attendance waa large, members coming from far and near, which means that these celebrations are of great agitational value. That is why we extend financial aid from the Main Office, as well as to the larger bowling tournaments held during the past year. In regards to finance matters, I wish to report that during the past year wo sold quite a few properties that we acquired due to defaulted mortgage loans. Though it was necessary to sell some at a loss, we believe it was better for the Society to do so instead of waiting for better times, which at the present, seem far distant We have yet to sell a few homos and the Croation Hall in South Chicago, which causes the greatest difficulties, as the building cannot be used for any other purpose than that originally intended, and as such Is hard to sell. The majority of Society's surplus money is monthly invested in P, H. A. loans, which are considered safe and give a fair interest return, and in Municipal and Public Utilities bonds, i Further detsils on these mstters will be given by Finance Committee. Improvement in our investment portfolio ha% been realised, its status is rapidly becoming better, and the general financial standing of our organisation is good. No special changes have been made in our Publi cations and Printery and the general status remains about the same as reported at last Supreme Board meeting. The financial and other detailed reports will be given by Publications Manager and Editor. This year we again have an important Anniver-sary—the 35th Anniversary of the founding of our organisation, which deserves a. worthy observance. The Executive Board has already decided to issue a special Anniversary edition of Prosveta and all members of the Supreme Boatd are invited to write articles and thus contribute to its composition. All Federations and Lodges are urged to observe this 35th Anniversary and to arrange programs with representative speakers and worthy, fitting pro grams wherever possible. It is further proper that we have a membership campaign during this An ikiversary year and the Executive Board has pre pared a plan for that purpose, which will be pre sented to you later. I recommend that the Supreme Board approve this proposition. During the later part of the past year the SUte Auditors made a lengthy and minute examination of aH our books, records, business transactions, st i» end of which they msde very favorable and satisfactory comments regsrding business management and our organisation in general. According to the present law each organisation undergoing such exsmination must psy the cost of examination to the SUte Auditors, which means that this examination was quite an expensive matter. From the detailed reports and financial accounts to be presented by the other Executive Board mem-bors, you will learn of the exact status of each class of our insurance and its funds. In short, I wish to mention that wc have msde a nice step forward both in membership and flnancisl standing, which is, after all, of utmost importance to our organisa- ti0"' VINCENT CAINKAR. Report accepted. Report of Vice-President Like all other reports of the Supreme Board my report will also pertain to a review on our work for the past year, performed as individuals and as a whole. The observance of the 26th Anniversary of the Juvenile Department was part of this work and was celebrated with a special Juvenile Member-ship Campaign. The report of the Supreme Secretary shows that we acquired the set quota of Juvenile members during this campaign, but if wa consider the site of our organisation, its principles, we can realise that this quota was very small. The reason for not realising a greater membership gain Is no doubt due to the poor economic condition^ that confront the majority of our people, living either in industrial cities or mining camps. There are also other causes, evident and non-evident, that retard somewhat the progress of our united efforts, and we are erstwhile on the Job, in ad dition to the private insurance companies and their sgents. There are force« that utilise all means in holding the masses in the dark so that they may be exploited on all side«; u«lng religion as a weapon in furthering their own aims and «caring people with "hell." which ha« for the unrea«onlng mass quite a «trong Influence, and the* people themselves aid In furthering this propaganda. It Is well known to the leaders of this propaganda that SNPJ extends full religious and political freedom all its member« and that no member ha« ever SNPJ. I shall talk further on this when the question comes up for discussion. All correspondence with thc M»iu oificc or Individual lodges has beoa taken care of promptly and to my best ability and I have no reason for any complaints whatsoever. ANDREW VIDRICH.

Report of Second Vice-President Fellow .Officer« and Members of the Supreme Board: I herewith submit my report and recommendations to this semi-annual masting. I have attended as many Wdge celebration« a« I possibly could; tho majority of which were moral and financial succesaee in spite of the fact that many of our members are-out of work and many arc working shorter hours, and therefore, do not have the money to patronise tho social functions of their respective lodges. Many people attend theee lodge affairs, who are not moaners of the SNPJ, and social affairs of local lodges create new friend* ships and in that wsy «it now members for our organisation. I think it wotttd be wise to stross this point, with a circular lotto to all of our lodge« both big and small, old and young; especially this yoar being the 85th Annlvtieary of the founding of the SNPJ. Lodge celebration« should revive some good agiUtion for the 31th Anniversary Campaign for new members. Tho Juvenile Campaign, that was just completed, has proven to us, success can be accomplished if th# | entire membership is awakened to thc fact that a goal has been set. and that we should not stop until that goal is reached No doubt many of our a*eihbers have not taken quite the interest ip the last -Juvenile Campaign as they should have, possibly, saving their energy for the 36th Jubilee Campaign Due to the fact that many of our members are not Slovene and cannot road the Slovene lsnguagc, and because there are many vital questions and actions concerning tho entire SNPJ in tho minutes of tho Supreme Board, I would recommend that the minutes of both the Supreme and tho Admlnistra tive Board be published b+th In Slovene and En glish in our official organ, the Prosveta. I will also recommend that any supplies pur chased, If at all possible, ihould be henghl with the union label. The SNPJ, hei*g a prog»ossiva organ isation of working people, should practice what preaches. It has always be* on the tide of organ ised labor and should patronise products menu faetured by union labor. SNPJ buying non union made good« is just as bad, in my estimation as a good union man going out and buying non union made clothe«, etc. Let us use our strength to promote tho cause of unionism and elevate the working conditions of the working men and women of this country. Lot us not disintegrate Into just another insurance organisation, but keep up the principle« and ideals on which the society was founded. Naturally, poepW who are not friendly with our organisation will condemn and criticise our actions, bvt as long «a« our effort« gain result«, let them criticise. I believe that our Society should have had Its voice heard In this present session of Congress especially on the reduction of the WPA approprla tion. Fundamentally, I am opposed to the WPA and know that it is not a cure for our present economic ills, but it seems thst the WPA is here to stay for a white so let us lake advantage of It. Many of our members arc on WPA, and with the appropriation bein# drastically reduced, many of them are apt to lose their jobs. With employment in private industry very low, theee members will not be able to find other jobs. The SNPJ should come to the assistance of these unfortunate people, and raise it« voice in their behalf. Thi« Is my report and recommendations, and I hope these sugge«tions are seen in the ssme light as I «ee them—constructive criticism in order help build s bigger sad better SNPJ. FRANK BOLKA.

Report accepted. Report of Vice-President Fourth| District Brother President and fellow members of Supreme Board: Silice the last meeting of the Suprome Board much agitational and progresaive work was accomplished by local officers and members in conjunction with the Executive Board of tho Society. In commemoration of tho Jubilee Campaign of the Juvenile Department, the members of tho lodges in my district also secured a nice gain in spite of the hard timss* and mads a fairly astlsfsctory response to our call for activo participation in this campaign ; although we hope for better success during the next one. The federation merits much recognition for this gain, as U uUliaod all 1U forces to the utmost, as well a« supported financially the Juveuile campaign. Becauae of this, 1 hope the success of tho campaign was altogether satlsfac tory In both depsrtmPnts. U Is also my wish that the Supreme Board meeting decide« to «ponsril another campaign In observance of the 86th Anniversary of our Socisty, snd that at the end of which we will be able to note further Increase of membership in both our adult and juvenile departments. . Regarding my work as member of Supreme Board during the past year, I wish to report that I en-deavored to do all I possibly could,^—agitating for new members, attending meeting« of varlou« lodge« whenever possible, and the Jubilee oelebratlon of the Juvenile Department held In Denver, Colorado, which was very successful. The largest picnic in celebration of tho Jubiles Campaign was held in Walsenburg under the sole auspices of the local lodges. The federation of this district will observe the 36th Anniversary with a large picnic, for which a sum of money from its treasury has already been pledged. In regards to the Juvenile Circles, J wish to say thst every locality should Work as much as paisible in securing end retaining its juvenile membership, as well as teaching them the principles and purpose of HNPJ, which is of main importance. Regarding my work with the Main Office, ! am satisfied and state that I received prompt and full explanations in every case. This is my short report for the past period of office. EDWARD TOM SIC. Report accepted. Report of Supreme Secretary I hereby submit my customary r«"lew of our| business for the past year, which ia essential 1» planning our future program of work and artivltie«,| a« well a« a sound financial organisation. An imporUnt event In the history of our Society last yeai was the fftth Anniversary of the Juvenile| Department, which was observed by staging a Ju venile membership campaign. The results of thej rampaign were hotter than sntulpaled due to lhr| efforts of our active members who enthusiast nal |y and whola-heartedly responded to our campaign appeals From the Msin Office we also endeavored | I/> do all in oui power to inspire action In our mem hers to the fullest extent All of our campaigns,I present snd past, have shown except»ooel results where Individual members had taken the initiative of personally contacting people, explaining the neeaaaity and Importance of being inaured In an or | gan isation surh as osrs. This Is also the proved-ing opinion among members who participated la | last campaign and who had obtained eatlsfaHory results. However, as this type of campaign Incurs espei.se end lose of time, it is obvious thet without financial aaaiaUnce and awards, sufficient résultai cannot be expected. The membership status at the end of the past| year Is as follows! Total Membership Deoember 31, 1938 ........ Total Membership January 1, 1938.............. INCREASE IN TOTAL MEMBERSHIP FOR THE YEAR 1838 .............................. 14,312 61,143 49,804 1,689 To tho above memberahip report, I wish to add that 618 membera, secured during the month of December, arc not included, because they were admitted Into the Hocioty under the date of January I. , 1939, which means^that our aotuai gain during the last campaign, incroasod our membership for over 8000 members. The problem of our cancelled membership, with which the Supreme Board has already dsslt with, Is a difficult one. which I doubt wo shall be able to remedy even though we have endeavored to nur utmoat to do so. Wo can be oontont that this con--, dition has gradually become bettor, Thore were 348 deaths, Including both depart-monts. during tho past year, or 80 loss than dui-ing the preceding year. A specie] detailed report on death causes has been prepared! therefore, It Is not necessary to make further oommonts here.

However, I am oppoai-d to all waste (unless expenditure) of members' money during these times, especially when many have difficult* in paying their assessments, and if wo hare any «*ra money, we ehould help those members who ar# really In need. There la a great deal of work in our office, but we are able te accompliah the work on time and without complalnta.

The Supreme Board at its aeaaion in Auguat, 1087, temporarily suspended the apodal aa-sesament for members in Canada on the ground that several complalnta have been received that they are unable te aecure new membora becauae of special assessment, but the report ehews that their membership declioed since the suspension of apedal aessment.

The total as seisment collected for all three sick benefit classes amount« to the sum of 9182,787.00, while the pay menta represented the amount of 9162364.72, leav ing a eurplus of 919.0S837 which covera the deficit of the first alx months. However, the largest amount of the surplua has accumulated in the 91 claaa. The condition of individual claaaea for 1088 are aa follows:. Receipt« of 91 class smount te the «um of 9183383.04, while the payments represent the amount of 9167,:120.67, leaving a surplus of $18,-66336.

Six months ago I stated in my report that according to the present rate of benefit payment« and on the heal« of regular assessment collected, the deficit of 92 class will amount to about 910,000 a year, but evidenUy the amount will be nearly 916,000. I have also pointed out that the deficiency has been caused by the increase of benefit at the laat convention. I believe that constant change« of the by-laws regarding payments of benefit ia impractical for the Society, and furthnmow, it ia a very unpleaaant problem to deal with. Obviously if mktake is made. It is poceasary te make the correction, and If we fall te adjust this problem In accordance with the law. we may be compelled te do so. / The insurance laws of this state, adopted about a year ago, provide that the contributions and benefit* most be arranged in order that each fund accumulate« a certain reserve However, the It cla«« «till ha« a •iroag nseerve oad there 1« no neee»«ity for immediate change, which can be carried out only throush general referendum In impressing ef a«ees«ment or BALANCE AS OF DEC. 31, 1038 ....... 9 6,78631 INVESTMENTS l All information regarding purchases, sales, maturities and reorganisations of investmsnts will be given by the Finsncp Committee, that is why I do not include same in my report. „ I wish to mention that during the past year no investments were defaulted, and all Interests were paid regularly, except on some smaller first mortgage loans, which we hope will be settled in a reasonable length of time without any court action. It ia alao evident that during the year 1030, quite a few defaulted bonds or investments will be settled, the majority of which will be through process of liquidation or reorganisation, with losses In some cases; in this way the list of defaulted investments is slowly becoming, smaller, and our investments will again be in good atanding. JOHN VOGRICH, Treasurer. Report accepted. Report of the Manager of the Society^s Publications My report for the paat alx montha is, as usual, rather brief. Business is about the aame as in the first half of the year, although the economic crisis still haa effects on it. Thia is especially true for our investments. During the last six month period Prlntery lost the total amount of the original 81,236.00 Investment on a Texas property, plus 9381.66 for court expenses, total loss on the property 81366 66. Loss on sale of another property amounted to 82346.36. (8132638 on sale, plus 81,021.07 for taxes, court and attorney's fees, together 92,64636.) Loss on both Investments total« 94,118.00. As per instructions of the Supreme Board in ses sion of August, 1988, the amount of 810,000 (96,000 from the Prlntery and 96,000 from Prosveta) waa given to Society's General Fund. PROSVETA The weekly or Wedaeeday issue of Prosveta printed in 27300 copiea, several hundred more because of the increase of membership in the csmpaign Daily, however, Is printed In 6300 copies, aame aa in the firat half of the year. There were 847 new aubacribera in the year 1088. On the other hand many subscribers died or atopped aubscribing for various reasons, leaving the balance of subscribers about the aame. Because of the deprsaaion, it extremely difficult to Increase the subscriptions. MLADINSKI LIST is printed in 7300 copies monthly, Our juvenile members sppear to bo very saUsfied with it because of its contonte and pleasing appearance. Every family having one or more children members of the SNPJ. ie entitled to one copy of Mledioski List, f RINTRRY A new electric controller for the large press coating 9800.61 was bought and installed in September Otherwise, there were no chengee in operations of the printing department.

The book» of aeroant of both department«, during the laat half of the year, were examined by the Illinoia Inaurance Deportment, our profeeeienal ae rountanU and alao by the Society's suditing com mittee.

The reason« your Committee continues to invest part of our funds in Government bonda are: First, because F. H. A. Mortgages are not obtainable in sufficient quantitiee; second, a correspondingly low yield on high-grade municipal bonds. Many business ad-visora predict a lower price on government bonds in the near future. The question of buying short-term, low-yield bonds, haa been discussed by your committee. It has been decided, however, that we continue to buy Government bonda for a higher yield, rather than short-term bonds as a speculation againat future price changea.

Secretary of Nalumni Athletic Board aubmila the following report: Feb. 11. 1939. Supreme Board Membera: I will attempt to rive a brief report on activities of athletica in the SNPJ alnce the laat meeting of the Supreme Board. • The Labor Day Celebration held in Detroit. Mich., waa attended by more lodges than any of the pre-vioua celebrations. Some confuaion waa caused by the appearance of two teama from Penna. Thia matter haa been referred tc/you. The balina tournament held in conjunction with the SNPJ Day Celebration waa not aa aucccasful aa should have been, because the games were played of» courts that were in very poor condition. The athletic committee recommends that if suitable courta are not available in La Salle, that this aport be dropped. But would like to see it continued if at all possible. The National Duck Pin Tournament sponsored by the E. S. Federation of West. Penna. at Carrick New Year's Day waa a successful undertaking and should have benefited the SNPJ. The apirit of all partkipanta and spectators was very good. The work of the committee in handling the tournament waa excellent The SNPJ received much publicity in the Pittsburgh daily papers and the community papers where the SNPJ haa active lodgea. Much more intereat is being ahown by the lodgea in the SNPJ, not only in athletica but in other thinga. Thia ia especially true in Penna. The results of the laat Juvenile Campaign will ahow the E. S. Lodgea were very active in bringing in new membera to the Society. Future policies governing athletica will be reported by another committee. To date not much definite Information is had by me concerning the National Bowling Tournament which will be held in Cleveland. Definite plana will be publiahed in Proaveta soon. Brother Frank Za-del of Cleveland, member of the Board, Had sent in hia resignation to me. I wrote him asking him to remain on the Board until thia meeting. At the time of hia ra?«nation he had certain personal difficulties which hampered hia work on the committee. Thia haa cleared and he ia again willing to act on the Board. Fraternally yours, FRANK GROSER, Sec'y, Athletic Board SNPJ. Motion carried that report be accepted. By ruling of the Supreme Board meeting laat Auguat, Bro. Supreme Preaident submits the new achedule of athletic districta: First District: Pennsylvania and all other Statea east and south of Pennsylvania; Second District: Ohio and southeastern part of Michigan; Third Diatrict: Illinois and all northern and weatern Statea. The National Athletic Board shall consist of five members. Bro. Vidrich moves, that Pennsylvania, West .Virginia and New York constitute two districta, Ohio and southeaatern Michigan one district, and other atates as at preaent. Schedule aa submitted by Bro. Supreme President approved by motion by Bro. Go-dina. Upon explanation of Bro. Lawrence Gradiaek, Assistant Secretary, that the regular aaaeasment paid by members of lodges in Canada does not suffice to maintain the necessary reserve in the Sick Benefit Fund, Bro. Philip Godina moves that under the provisions of the By-laws a special assessment of $1 for each dollar of sick benefit insurance shall be levied on all members of Canadian Lodges; Motion carried by a W to 2 vote. Bro. Gradisek moves .that this special assessment shall be levied aa of April 1, 1939 and to remain in force until adoption of further ruling; motion carried unanimously. Resolution submitted by the SNPJ Federation of Colorado and New Mexico concerning the merger of SNPJ with SSPZ, read and placed on file. In regard to Consolidation of Jugoslav Fraternal Societies, Bro. Vincent Cainkar, Supreme President, submits the following declaration: - DECLARATION The Supreme Board of the Slovene National Benefit Society at ita session of February 11, 1939, took cognisance of the revived question regarding merger of the Jugoslav Fraternal societies and in this connection anew declares ita position, namely, that such merger it not only possible but also recommendable on its part, as it would greatly benefit the mebers of all fraternal societies concerned if properly and justly carried out. Injured miners in the Appalachian coal fields (Penna, Ohio. W. Va etc.) | often face "every conceivable obstacle 1 ... put In their way by the operators | and operator-controlled doctors to i prevent their receiving their Just ca*h ' benefits" under the workmen's com- < pensaUon laws, it was asserted In a survey report of the Bureau of Cooperative Medicine, made public recently by Dr. Kingsley Roberts, the Bureau's Medical Director. Even though the laws of all our states say that "the full expense of the rare of a compensable injury must be borne by the employer," Dr. Robert* and his medical and lay associates on the investigating committee discovered that "most of the expense is petd for indirectly by the miners themselves,** out of deductions from their pay checks for medical care and hospitslitatloa. t Horn« of the problem* faced by an injuiod miner in attempting to get the rash benefits to which he is legally entitled are listed in the report thus: In the first place, the company doeUt often attempt* to show that hi* injury is not compensable. For instance, a man was carrying explosive* In the mine and was killed wh»n they were ac-ctdentaly detonated. The doctor called It suicide. Anotbei man's back was broken in the mote and he died three deys 1st»i of an ensuing pneumonia. The hospital said death was due to "natatal causes'*. In anoth-et case, death fro«» an obvious fractured bark wa* registered a* due to "meningitis." One mine doctor la West Virginia recently lost his Job because he certified that a man's death was due te carbon monoxide poisoning Instead «f "heort failure" or "steas^rh trouble" as the company insisted Often, te. the foreme«^iry to show that the * injury did not error tb* Joh mr - wa* the reenit of hreahiag • safety Thirty-six out of every hundred peraons applying for aocial-aecurity numbers in 1988 were women, according to an analyals of old-age insurance records made public May 12 by John J. Corson, Director of the Social Security Board's Bureau of Old-Age Inaurance. "Women," he said, "accounted for some 2,100,000 of the 6,700,000 applications received last year—36.4 percent as compared to 27.4 percent for the period prior to 1938. Women also make up a larger proportion of the total applicants thsn might have been anticipated. According to the 1930 census, women constituted about 22 percent of the persons gainfully employed. But at the end of 1938, they held about 28 % percent of all the social-security account numbers assigned—nearly 12,000,000 out of a total of approximately 41,900,000. "This proportionately large showing," Mr. Corson explained, "is due to the high turn-over among women in Aft-CIO PEACE CONHJISNCI Wf art stUl wait lug.
