Ko bo vladala nad Evropo, se zna obrniti na Ameriko Koncem junija pričakujejo naziji, da bo cela Evropa in severna Afrika pod njih kontrolo. — Tedaj utegnejo staviti Ameriki ponudbo, da sodeluje z njimi. London, Anglija. — V An- . Sliji se pojavlja resno mnenje, ^ utegne Nemčija staviti Ameriki obširno mirovno ponudbo, toda ne zdaj takoj, Marveč enkrat koncem meseca j Mnija, ko bo, kakor pričakuje, (Neomejeno vladala nad celim tropskim kontinentom, kakor ^di nad celo sredozemsko j( kotlino. n Iz dosedanjega poteka voj- b se iahko sklepa, da se bo P nazijem omenjeni cilj na celi z fl"ti posrečil. N,ad Grčijo so že n Gospodarji; da bi se jim name- o '«vani sunek iz Libije proti o '•Riptu • ponesrečil, je težko o Pričakovati; zanj še namreč r temeljito pripravljajo, kajti 1; fy'ih čete, opremljene z množi- ;b co vojnega materijala kar vro v Preko Sredozemlja v severno ^ Afriko; ko bodo prekoračili j Wz in zasedli Palestino, Siri- s in druge kraje v prednji p Aziji, se domneva, da se jim P ke Turčija brez boja podala; ll» končno vodijo dobro zasino-V£tne priprave, da udarijo na Idrije angleško oporišče, na Gibraltar. Vse to se pričakuje, da bo- ^ ^o izpeljali v prihodnjih dveh r Mesecih, na kar bodo v polo- 1 2aJU, da predložijo Ameriki 1 ^ejstva, kakoršna so, namreč, t ^ je cela Evropa, izvzemši s Anglije, ter severna Afrika ze- * j^njena pod enotnim režimom 1 ln> kdo:- bo hotel voditi trgo- 1 v''tto s tem delom sveta, bo š ^oral ta režim priznati ter se ®Prijazniti s položajem, kakor- * je. V tem duhu bi nato 1 sledil nazijski predlog, naj 1 frnerika sama izpremeni svo-> 1 odporno stališče napram to- < telitarcem in obenem pregovo- 1 Anglijo, naj sklene premir-^ ter si s item obvaruje svojo Neodvisnost ter obdrži nekaj Svojih posesti. Zelo verjetno je, da bo Nemčija to ponudbo v resnici ] javila, dasi se že v naprej . cthko pričakuje, da bo odbita. < ^endar pa bo kljub temu do-[ ro služila nazijem za propa-', k'ando, češ, mir smo ponudili,' ni bil sprejet, in torej ni j^ša krivda, da se vojna na-&ljuje. Brez dvoma bi s tako '^opagando pri mnogih Evropejcih vzbudili srd proti Atne-in Angliji, kar bi njim sa-služilo v prid. -o- ZVEZDOSLOVCI NISO V VOJNI Cambridge, Mass. — Zvez-°slovni znanstveniki v Nem-in v Angliji tvorijo eno Maloštevilnih skupin, ki je ^ranila zdrav razum in se ne >^aja mednarodnemu sovra-,u- Ugotovilo se je namreč. si zvezdoznanci obeh dežel 'Jub vojni še vedno dopisuje-0 med seboj in si izmenjavajo '^anstvena mnenja, in sicer STAVKA SE ZAVLAČUJE Južni operatorji se upirajo iz- ' enačenju plač. č Washington, D. C. — Med tem, ko še pomanjkanje pre-moga v industriji čimdalje f bolj ostro občuti, je pa še po- v polnoma negotovo, kdaj se zna končati stavka v industriji mehkega premoga, ki traja že * od 1. aprila. Nepopustljivost -operatorjev na jugu je glavna ^ ovira za sporazum. Ti se nam- z reč upirajo, da bi se odpravi-la sedanja razlika v plačah in bi na severu in na jugu dobivali premogarji po $7 na dan. Vladna posredovalna komisija, ki ie imela nalogo, da obe č skupini ebliža, je v nedeljo o poročala, da se ji poizkus ni n posrečil. 1 -o----j WHEELER DOBIL POLICIJ, \ SKO VARSTVO r Rockford, 111. — Senator 1 Wheeler je na svojem govor- i nišlcem potovanju po Ameriki, t med katerim vodi propagando 1 proti vojni, obiskal v torek • tudi to mesto. Tukajšnje obla- ( sti pa so postavile ob tej prili- c ki v njegovo varstvo devet po- 1 litijskih organov, namreč pet v uniformiranih poliči stov in štiri detektive. Ta varnostna odredba se jim je zdela potrebna, ko je prejel Wheeler pred nekaj dnevi grozilna j pisma iz Rockforda. Dva po- i licista sta bila stalno pri njem, < dočim so bili drugi uporablje- ] ni za stražo na krajih, kjer je i Wheeler javno nastopil. ] -o- S ČASOM BODO ZA DVE URI NAPREJ London, Anglija. — S prihodnjo nedeljo bo uveljavljen v Angliji novi čas, ki bi se mogel nekako imenovati dvojni i poletni čas. Navadni poletni čas (daylight saving time), ki 'je za eno uro naprej, se je od zadnjega poletja nadaljeval v Angliji tudi preko zime, in zdaj je določeno, da se prihodnjo nedeljo pomaknejo ure naprej še za eno uro, da bodo na ta način kazale dve uri pred naravnim solnčnim časom. -o- NOVA CERKEV POSVEČENA Chicago, 111. — Tukajšnji nadškof Stritch je zadnjo ne-j , deljo posvetil novo cerkev, kij je postavljena na 3800 Io\va| &i. ter je posvečena Gospej I angelov. ANGLIJA SE UTEGNE OBRNITI PROTI AMERIKI Chicago, m. — Ako bo Nemčija v tej vojni zmagala nad Anglijo, obstoja resna možnost, da bo razpoloženje v Angliji postalo sovražno Ameriki. To napoved je izrazil zadnjo nedeljo E. W. Gibson, Jr., predsednik neke organizacije, ki zahteva, da Amerika v polni meri sodeluje z Anglijo. V slučaju angleške ga poraza, je dejal, ne more Amerika več računati na angleško brodovje, kajti v najboljšem slučaju bo to od lastnega moštva potopljeno, dočim je še bolj verjetno, da bo prišlo direktno v nemško last. Razmerje med Anglijo in Ameriko utegne po porazu prve postati podobno kakor med Anglijo in Francijo po porazu Francije. Kakor kaže zdaj Francija neprijateljstvo dc Anglije, tako se'zna potem Anglija obrniti proti Ameriki z obdolžbo, da je ta povzročila njen poraz. 80,000 AEROPLANOV NA LETO V NAČRTU Washington, D. C. — To časno se bavi eden kongresnih odborov s predlogom, da se nakaže znesek šest in pol milj ard za nabavo armadnih zalog, in iz poučenih krogov se sliši, cla se namerava del tega zneska uporabiti za razširitev možnosti zk izdelovanje vojnih aeroplanov. Sedanji cilj je, da se zgradi na leto 50,000 teh aeroplanov, a po novem načrtu se ima ta cilj zvišati na 80,000. Vendar pa je Amerika dokaj daleč celo od prvotnega cilja, kajti točasna produkcija aeroplanov ne dosega niti števila 20,000. -o- IRCI VARUJEJO SVOJO NEVTRALNOST New York, N. Y. — Irska je odločena, da se ne priključi niti tej, niti drugi bojujočih se držav. Da ne spravi v nevarnost svoje nevtralnosti, bo tudi v naprej držala svojo pristanišča zaprta za angleške ladje, ki bi od tamkaj lahko napadale nazijske pomorske Sile. To izjavo je podal zadnji Predsednikova kri-tika ga užalila Užaljen, ker ga je predsednik Rcosevelt ožigosal zaradi njegovega protivojnega stali šča, L»«dbergh podal ostavko kot rez. polkovnik v zračni armadi. KRIZEMJVETA — Mexico Qity, Mehika. — Svoječasni mehiški predsednik Calles se bo prihodnji mesec vrnil iz Zed. držav v Mehiko, kakor se izražajo njegovi sorodniki. Calles je bil od predsednika Cardenasa izgnan v Zed. države v 193G. — Vichy,-Francija. — Pe-tainova vlada je zadnjo nedeljo odredila, da dva francoska lista ne smeta iziti skozi dva dni. Eden od njih, Figaro, je bil kaznovan zato, ker je izražal naklonjenost Angliji. — Berlin, Nemčija. — Nemška časopisna agencija je objavila v nedeljo, da je v /zhodnem Sredozemlju aktiv-/lo zap osleno tudi n^fn^ko bro-'.ovje, katero je zasedlo otoč-e ob Grčiji in ovira umik brionskih čet od tamkaj. PRISTANIŠČE PRIPRAV. LJAJO ZA VOJAŠTVO New York, N. Y. — Kakor >e je iz armadnega vodstva objavilo zadnjo nedeljo, se bo ukajšnje pristanišče preure-lilo in povečalo, da bo v njem mogoče vkrcati po 30,000 vojakov na teden. Potrebno je to zaradi novih pomorskih baz la Atlantiku. Iz Jugoslavije Veliko rodoljubje, zaupanje v končno zmago, plemenito sočutje in nameni jugoslovanske kraljice Marije. — Važna izjava hrvaškega diplomata pri jugoslov. poslaništvu v Washingtonu. — Vesti iz domovine. Kraljica Marija upa v končno zmago London, 7. aprila. — (JK. — Radiogram jugoslov. poslaništva preko dop. centr. Pres-biroa pri jugoslov. poslaništvu v Washingtonu, D. C.). Ko je Visoka mati kralja Petra IL, Nj. Vel. kraljica Marija, katera se nahaja na Angleškem, kjer se zdravi pc prestani težki bolezni, slišala vesti o napadu na Jugoslavijo, je izjavila sledeče: "Jar^ imam veliko zaupanje v svojega sina, kralja Petra II., in \ izhod sedanje strašne borbe, katera je s silo vrinjena mojemu narodu. Čutim veliko bol, da je Beograd, jugoslovanska prestolica, vkljub temu, da je bil proglašen za ociprto mesto, bil brezo'bzirno bombardiran, izražam svojo iskreno ljubezen in sočutje za trpeče ljudstvo, katero je postalo žrtev tega nečloveškega zlodela.' Globoko sem i-ažaloščena, ker Tie moja bolezen začasno priklepa na tujino in preprečuje '.da bi bila v domovini in da bi delila z mojim ljubim narodom usodepolne čase težkln preizkušenj. Toda z Božjo pomočjo, jaz imam veliko zaupanje v končni izid sedanje borbe, v hrabrost in sijajen duh odpora mojega naroda, v tradicionalno hrabrost jugoslovanske vojske, v vdanost in odločnost mladega kralja, mojega ljubega sina. -Bog nam pomagaj !" HAMBURG OKUSIL IZREDNO TEŽKE BOMBE London, Anglija. — Tekom nedelje so angleški letalci obmetavali nemško mesto Hamburg z nove vrste bombami, ki imajo izredno težo. Kakor pravi poročilo, je bil v okrožju pol milje daleč tak požar, da jf' sličil ognjeniškemu izbruhu. , petek tukaj eden irskih ministrov. GRČIJA V ZADNJIH IZDIHIH delajo to s . posredovanjem ameriških astronomov. Izvzemši skrajnega južnega konca, Peloponeza, je zdaj cela Grčija pod nemško in italijansko kontrolo. Angleške čete ss vkrcavajo, da se umaknejo in tako se lahko smatra, da je tukaj vojne konec. New York, N. Y. — Predsednik Roosevelt se je zadnji petek žaljivo izrazil o znanem letalcu, C h a s Lindberghu, \ svoji konferenci s časnikar j in kot posledica tega je preje' od njega ta ponedeljek pisme z obvestilom o njegovi resig naciji kot polkovnik v armad-nem rezervnem zračnem koru V svoji izjavi, s katero j', užalil Lindbergha, je predsednik kritiziral njega in z njim vse druge, ki nasprotujejo, da bi šla Amerika na vsej črti na stran Anglije, indirektno kot nekake izdajalce. Primerjal jih je namreč z neko skupino "copperheads" (gadi), ki je ob času civilne vojne izvajala izdajniške čine. Tako kritiko od najvišje osebnosti v deželi je bilo težko prezreti in Lindbergh je tudi v resnici reagiral na njo. V pismu, v katerem je podal ostavko na svoj armadni čin, je dejal, da je upal, da bo kot ameriški državljan lahko izražal svoje 'mnenje napram ljudstvu in, da bo obenem lahko obdržal tudi svoje mesto v armadi, na kar nadaljuje: "Ko pa ste vi, v svoji kapaciteti kot predsednik Zed. držav in kot armadni vrhovni poveljnik, jasno namignili, da nisem več v korist deželi kot rezervni častnik,in zaradi drugih pripomb, ki ste jih vi, rnoj predsednik in moj višji častnik, izrazili glede moje zvestobe do dežele, glede mojega značaja in mojih motivov, ne vidim drugega častnega izhoda, kakor, da podam resigna-cijo." Končno je Lindbergh pov-daril, da je sicer Visoko cenil svoj armadni čin, toda še višje pa, da ceni pravico, da lahko kot državljan razmotriva o tekočih problemih in o vojni ter o miru v tem kritičnem času. -o- BOLGARIJA SE ZAHVALJUJE HITLERJU Berlin, Nemčija. — Bolgarski min. predsednik Filov je zadnjo nedeljo poslal Hitlerju b '/.ojavko, v kateri je izrazil "'iskrena in najbolj globoko zahvalo bolgarske vlade," ko je osvobodil z orožjem Mace-donijo in grško Tracijo. Na to brzojavko je odgovoril zun. minister von Kibbentrop, rekoč,- da je nemški vladi v posebno zadoščenje, ko je zdaj uglajena pot "za - končni in pravični nov red v jugovzhodni Evropi in pa, da se je uresničila pravica Bolgarije do življenja." — Isti dan je prišlo poročilo, da so ^bolgarske oblasti prevzele kontrolo nad jugoslovanskim mestom Skoplje in njega okrožjem ter je meij drugimi obiskal to ozemlje tudi kralj Boris fn njegov brat, princ Ciril. "Biletiri Jugoslovanskega Kurirja" v Chicagi objavlja izjavo hrv. diplomata Vsi giavni Washingtonski listi so objavili v številkah od 11. in 32. aprila sledeči članek : "Izjava Hrvaškega Diplomata." "Bogdan Radica, šef jugoslovanskega Presbiroa pri poslanstvu v Washingtonu, kateri je edini Hrvat v Jugoslo-deem poslanstvu, je včeraj izjavil, da je Dr. Ante Pavelič, voditelj separatističnega giba-ija, 'naj navadne j ši izdajalec.' — 'Oir je v službi," je rekel g. .ladica, 'italijanske nemške /lade t6r malo Hrvatov mu bo sledilo prostovoljno. Prepričan sem, da se vsak pošten Hrvat vznemirja ob sami misli, da bi tak človek bil voditelj Hrvatov. Bival je več let v Italiji, čakajoč prilike, da začne separatistično gibanje.' G. Radica ne verjame novice, da je Dr. Vlatko Maček, podpredsednik vlade kraija Petra, prešel k Paveličevi vla-ii. 'Jaz mislim,' je povdaril g. Radica, 'da so te novice nemška propaganda. Čeprav sta obadva Hrvata, vendar sta osebna neprijatelja. Dr. Maček je voditelj Hrvatske S'e-ljačlce Stranke (Hrvaške Kmetske Stranke), katere ideologija je demokratska in proti-fasistična. Ta stranka je podpirana od vaščanov, kateri predstavljajo v Hrvaški mnogo večjo in močnejšo skupino od mestnih prebivalcev, čeprav "bi morebiti meščani šli za Paveličem, vaščanstvo mu bo sledilo samo le s silo in proti svoji volji.' G. Radica je bil sotrudnik v 'Obzoru,' najstarejšem hrvaškem listu. On je zavzemal položaj diektorja presbiroa, ali je po kratkem času moral pustiti to službo na zahteve nemške in Kalij, vlade. Pred tem je skozi 6 let sodeloval pri Ligi narodov v Genevi, kjer je odkrito iziažal svoje proti-fa-stične občutke. Gp. Radica je bil preteklega sept. postavljen na sedar-ji položaj v Washingtonu." Nesreča na postaji v Laškem Ko je 64 letni upokojeni rudar Franc Jelen iz Laškega na postaji v Laškem izkladal sode iz železniškega vagona, mu je padel sod na nogo in mu jo zmečkal, da so morali Jelena odpeljati v celjsko bolnico. --o- Smrtna kosa V Ljubljani (Rožna dolina) je umrl Ivan Kaučič, trgovec. — V.Devici Mariji v Polju je umrl Mati Bezlaj, dijak IV. letnika državnega učiteljišča. — V Zubnem na Dolenjskem je umrl Mihael Her.—V Srednjih Gameljnih je umrla Frančiška Ložar, rojena Sušnik. -o- Ogenj V Jelovcu, tako poročajo iz Maribora,je zgorela viničarija last posestnika Jakoba Tacin-gerja iz Pečk. V poslopju so plameni uničili tudi stiskalnico za vino, sedemnajst vinskih sodov in 20 hektolitrov vina.' Škode je nad 38.000 dinarjev. Na srečo so bile sosednje kleti na debelo pokrite s snegom, drugače bi se plameni oprijeli še teh in uničene bi bile. Zločin V vasi Podvrhu pri Samo-koru je prišel ueki Biščan zvečer vinjen domov ter se začel prepirati s svojo mlado, komaj 19 let staro ženo Magdico. V prepiru je' potegnil samokres in ženo ustrelil v trebuh. Na njeno vpitje so prihiteli na pomoč sosedje, ki so smrtno-nevarno ranjenko dali odpeljati v zagrebško bolnico. -o- Nenavadna nesreča V ljubljansko bolnico je bila pripejana komaj 2 letna hčerka delavca Kudarica iz Ljubljane, vsa opečena. Nesreča se je zgodila prav po nerodnem naključju. Oče je otroka pesftoval in zlezel z njo nad štedilnik, pa se mu je izmuznila iz rok in padla naravnost v lonec vrele vode.

How State Fraternal Congresses Work] DON'T FORGET MOTHER Abraham Lincoln said: "All that 1 am, or hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother." Sunday, May 11. is "dedicated to the memory of (he best mother in the| world, your mother." If living she will appreciate being remembered by you If she has passed on, you may honor her memory by doing a kind deed foi some forgotten mother, or for some motherless and neglected child . . . Make every day of the year Mother's Day—make her feel that you really appreciate all the sacrifices she lias made for you. Truly a representative institution, the fraternal benefit system has power because it is of people', by the people and for the people. People join the societies because they want to and think it is a good thing. They find many advantages in memberslip. including protection for dependents, fellowship with their neighbors and social aid to their friends in distress. It is a voluntary system, with freedom and independence strong at all limes. Being representative, the officers come from the ranks and, in turn, the officer-, consult with the members in lodge meetings and in conventions of delegates. The state fraternal congresses are a sign of the representative character of the societies and the system. Each society has its organization, extending from tlio individual member and his local lodge, up through the state and national bodies to the executive officers. Some of the societies operate on a nation-wide basis, others in selected states and a number in only one state. Since these organizations are engaged in similar work and are subject to the same laws and regulations, they have many things in common. They would rot be fraternal if they did not have fraternal relations with other societies. Chief is the National Fraternal Congress of America. All legitimate societies may belong to the Congress and assist in the work -for the common good. The achievements of the X. F. C. of A. for the benefit of all societies are noteworthy. In the state fraternal congresses we find the societies through their delegates getting together on a more neighborly basis. At least once a year the state fraternal congress holds a convention and affiliated societies send their representatives. There they find that the people of other societies are pretty good folks, and there is fellowsjiip in true American spirit, no matter what the racial origin or religion of the other fellow. Fraternal and life insurance toDics are discussed, and field reoreseiitatives are given new inspiration. The speakers brings new ideas, and in the discussions there is exchange of thought. The banquets and other entertainments promote fellowship. Frankly, the most important work of the state fraternal congresses is in representing organized fraternalism in matters affecting the laws of their state. In each session of a legislature inimical laws are introduced, and somebody must present the fraternal side. Or .there is constructive legislation to be enacted. The influence of the fraternalists must be shown. The folks at home belonging to the state fraternal congress have more influence than a national officer of a society in another state, no matter how highly placed. They arc the people with the votes and local influence. That is the way fraternal congresses work and use the influence of their organizations—open and above-board. That, and their enthusiasm and diligence, account for their success.—The Fraternal Age. NATIONAL FRATERNAL WEEK The Executive Committee of the National Fraternal Congress of America has designated the week of May 5_it> 1941 as NATIONAL FRA- TF.RNAL WEEK. The lodges of our Association are asked to join other organizations in the celebration and promotion of the Fraternal Benefit System during the observance of NATIONAL FRATERNAL WEEK. This week will he the opportune time to spread the worth of our WSA to everyone everywhere and to help malte a remarkable gain in Our Crusade" campaign of 1941. Next week's issue of our official organ will carry an appropirate ad dress prepared by Mr. Oscar E. Ale shire, a member of the Executive Committee of the N. F. C. of A. RECENT SURVEY GIVE TRUE PICTURE OF CONDITIONS IN JUVENILE DEPARTMENT Juvenile Delegate Contest Nears End FIVE WISE MEN 'I'll wait before buying my life in surancc," said the first wise man. He had to pay 15 per cent more because the cost had increased. "Next year will be just as good.' said the second wise man. He died six months later. "I'm in no hurry. I can get insur ance any time," said the third wise man. He discovered his error later when the doctor told him he was un insurable. "I'll have more money for insurance in a couple of years," said the fourth wise man. But a reckless chauffeur ran over him and the day when he can buy insurance has passed. Now, there was a FIFTH wise man, and he bought his life insurance when he had the chance. He isn't worrying. Neither is his family.—W. C. Forester. DEFENSE We hear so much of "Defense" these (lays. The United States is now in the process of building adequate defense—spending millions on ships, planes, tanks and guns—preparing to protect America and its citizens. What | are YOU doing for. building your own personal Home Defense to protect i; your dear ones? The greatest defense—against privation and insecurity for your loved ones—is Life Insurance. Is your present Life Insurance program adequate „ for Home Defense? Have you provided ample security for your family circle and built tip a mighty bulwark for your family's Home Defense? Don't put it off! Act today! The WSA Crusade, now in progress, proti vides opportunity for you and your friends to safeguard the priceless treasures Bof home and family. Whole family life insurance and various other benefits ' with genuine fraternal servicc makes The Western Slavonic Association an Ik feU^t""''11® protector and delcm,t't of the individual home. I.et us all be loyal soldiers in "Our Crusade" and carry to all homes of K the nation the fact that our Association's principle objective and reason for ™ existance is home protection and "home defense." Let us take a lesson from the man in Kansas who was laughed at by his neighbors because he was building a storm cellar for his family >vhen all was calm. He knew that when the whirlwind struck it would be too late to build this protection. Those who laughed at him were caught unprepared and suffered" untold misery while he and his loved ones emerged unharmed. In our daily lives wc know that certain "Whirlwinds" arc bound to come in the form of sickness, accidents, misfortune and death. The time to build a defense against these whirlwinds is when all is well. So we urge you to right now take stock of your insurance and that of your family. Build yt>ur storm cellar now, and carry that thought to all your friends by inviting them to become members of our Association—the best home defense possible to obtain. TRUTH IN HUMOR The late Will Rogers said of life insurance: "When I buy life insurance, "ot only do I know where I am at, but my family knows where they're at. H you don't believe in life insurance, just try dying without it." - _—j--n ■niaintniiirj 1 ........................................................................................................................................................

P. J. building in Chicago which was attended by representatives of almost every Slovenian fraternal organization, and it was my privilege 'o also be present. The very timely question of War« Relief for the country of our ancestry has served to bring all the Slovenian fraternal .organizations in the country and has united them for the. purpose of aiding the country of Pur forefathers. This, I believe, will indicate conclusively to all of us that ■egardless of the fraternal organization we may be a member of, we still stand as brothers under the skin so far as our Nationality is concerned or so far as 'he good and welfare of our fellow man is concerned. The results of our campaign efforts for the first three months show that 'bere have been a total of 157 new members added to the previous number secured during our CRUSADE CAMPAIGN. These members were secured Primarily by the following lodg/es, each of whom secured 8 or more members: Lodges No. 1, 14, 21, 22, 36, 41, 45 and 59. It proves conclusively that these lodges are doing their share to secure their quotas. There are several others lo(lges which usually are very active, but which are not included amongst the above lodges. However, I am confident that when the final curtain falls there Will be many new lodges added to the above roll of honor. I would also like to caution our members not to permit themselves to lag >n so far as securing new juvenile members is concerned.' 1 express this Earning not only because of thejfact that there are many juveniles who still n(,cd credits to be awarded the distinction of serving as delegates at our next convention here in Chicago in the summer, but also because of the fact that juvenile members are so important to a fraternal organization. One of the f°remost reasons why our Association is 128.11% solvent is because of the lact that there are a large number of young members in our Association. So, P'ease, Brothers and Sisters,, do not let the spring fever get you down so far as our Association is concerned. Instead, let us do a little cultivating of our Maternal spirit during the spring months so that our Association may blossom °Ut as the prettiest and strongest flower amongst all fraternal organizations. In conclusion, I would like once more to go back to the question of Jugo-?'*v Relief. Our committee is designed to solicit funds and to work in conjunction with the American Red Cross for the aid of Jugoslav relief. All Maternal organizations are going to appeal to their respective memberships . to contribute such amounts as they feel they can give towards this relief fund, ' !"ul I am making my appeal to you now. I wish each and every subordinate °dge would solicit contributions from its members, make a list of the con-tr'l>utors and the respective amounts given, and forward the same to our opreme Secretary, Anthony Jersin. A list of ,all contributors and the Un'ounts donated will he published in our Official organ. Please,' brothers jncl sisters, let your love and sympathy for the country of our ancestry re-J|ect themselves in the amount of you* Contribution, and make your contribu 0,i as soon as possibly because the need for relief is most urgent. With kind regards and best wishes to you all, 1 remain, Fraternally Yours, LF.O JURJOVF.C, SR., Supreme President.

S. A. Crusade!" The manner in which the soldiers of the WSA marched in the Crusade during the month of March is revealed in the following account of production for last month. Last month's new business was better than that of the same month in 1940. For the first three months of 1940 we took in 43 adults and this year for the same months we took in 45. Juveniles last year showed at 57 while this year so far we took in 112. In other words, we signed up 57 more new members in both departments than at this time in 1940. Looks like we arc off to a flying start. Good The Ruth, Nevada, lodge still leads for the championship trophy, and if they keep up their momentum, it will take a trip to No. 45 come Jan. 1, 1942. The situation is somewhat different from last year. More lodges (especially the smaller ones) in various scattered localities are in the swim with an excellent chance to cop the highest honors all the way around. The champs of former years will have to look to their laurels if they expcct to repeat. Well, the Adult Honor Roll remains unchanged in positions excepting that No. 5 and 9 svviapped positions of last work, folks! There should be no slow- month. But you will note that the ten ing down now or lagging of the volume of new applications coming into the headquarters. Did you notice the newcomer in the spotlight this month? It's from up in Utah again. Stay right in there No. 22, and you have a nice position for the Juvenile prize — only 11 from the quota and a special pre-convention award if you reach 25 before June 30. Reliable No. 41 hit the "spot" again, and No. 45 managed to retain the coveted position again this month. For the Adult Prizes, No. 41 kept first place; No. 21 came up one to crowd No. 1 down a notch; No. 14 came into the picture into a tie with No. 1, 36 and 45. Not shown on the list, and that arc in a tie with No. 16 for 7the place, are Lodges No. 26, 33, 53 and 59. None has reached the quota as yet and it is anybody's race. All these leader are far away from the Special Pre-Convention award, but still have the returns from April, May and ,June to do it. For the Juvenile Prizes, No. 45 increased its lead with only two more to go for the quota and an award of extra $5.00 As already satted. No. 22 got on this list as did No. 41, last year's champions. No. 1 kept its fourth place, but No. 36 Was tumbled down to fifth from second. leaders are all in the 100 class. The Juvenile Honor Roll finds No. THE WESTERN STAR LODGE NO. 16 41 again'taking away the lead from No. 33. One of them better stay put. The next three are rather close. We predict that there will be some radical changes in the juvenile standings once the lodges get to going on the Juvenile Delegate Contest. Last month we welcomed into the producers ranks Lodges No. 17, 24, 33, 58 and 60. Now we are waiting with outstretched arms for the soldiers of Lodges No. 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 23, 25, 27, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 44, 51, 56, 57. The records show that only 29 lodges produced one or more new members in "Our Crusade" of 1941. We hope the members of these lodges not on the "production" march will do something about it so that we may enjoy even a greater record so nicely compiled so far by 29 of our lodges. Do not be the slave of first impressions. Man, creature of God, who taught you friendship? A dog. Who taught you hatred? A man. — Houssage. More men get crooked by dodging hard work than becomc bent by honest toil. Pueblo, Colo. MEMORIES OF MOTHER One of the dearest sweetest things memory holds for me Is that old time teaching heard on mother's knee. And as the days of life are flitting fast away, In fancy I recall them as plain as yes terdžv. Be honest and be truthful were the words she said to me, And always be a crcdit to WSA and your home and country. Try to help a fellow man that you may find in need, For a friend in adversity is a friend indeed. Remember your WSA and let her be your guide. You then will always find her right there by your side. 0 what a heavenly comfort her words have been to me. 1 shall not forget the lessons that I learned on her knee. That Mother long since passed away— her life's journey is done. And I have ever tried to be a true and worthy son. I know at times I have wandered from the straight and narrow way. Like many other thoughtless youths, but I can truly say, ✓ 'Twas not because I had cast aside the • duties that I owe,' Unto my Mother and my ,WSA that caused me to do so. I am trying now to do my best and trying to be ttte man My Mother taught me I should be and follow ou^ her plan. And as I journey through this life I always want to feel That I can live a life that fits my Mother's fond ideal. Oh give me strenght, Dear Lord, to be tlie man she'd have me be. And not forget the lessons that I learned on Mother's knee. By JOE BLATNIK, Pres. Two months ago, the Supreme Juvenile Supervisor sent out letters urging more concerted action in juvenile progress and activities. He asked for certain data, information and inquiries as to the existing conditions of juvenile \york in each WSA locality; he requested addresses of juveniles and anything pertaining to the work, activities and affairs each lodge preformed for its juveniles. Information was requested as to which juveniles hold credits and are thereby candidates for juvenile delegate and which ones have already acquired the necessary 50 credit and are now officially designated as juvenile delegates. Quite a few lodges have not as yet sent in the reports, but we shall herewith publish the findings compiled from the reports that did come in. All the reports were interesting although some of the questions were not answered and all information wanted was not given in full. Some of the reports were complete in every detail. We were sorry to letorn that in some places there is no cooperation whatever between the officers, juvenile supervisors and the membership in juTnik1 affairs; little or nothing has been done to promote juvenile activities. In other places good cooperation is enjoyed and we were gratified to learn that meetings or some form of activities, etc., took place to teach the juveniles fraternalism and the workings of our Association and its Juvenile Department. Complaints were made that certain lodges are unable to gather their children for meetings because of the expense of renting a meeting place, because many grownups do not care to bother with "kids" and because the children are scattered about and must come a great distance. One or two complaints were to the effect, that they have no one capable, or who cares, to conduct activities for the juveniles of their lodge. Some blame the parents for this lack of interest while others say they have not gotten around to this yet although they think and talk about it occasionally. It, seems to us that the important juvenile phase of our Association is not taken as seriously as it should. We enjoyed a remarkable progress in juvenile progress and advancement in the last several years—no criticism abou that—but it stands to reason that this splendid progress coul'd have been a least doubled if there was more interest and better cooperation in all WS/ localities. The job of every one of us is to ever enroll new juveniles, thei educate and train them in fraternalism as we get and maintain their interes, in us. They arc our future! It is reported that in most places the collection of dues is only fair am' in some very poor. The biggest trouble in collecting dues is from those who do not have parents in the organization because tney are most apt to overlook it due to the fact that they do not attend meetings or take an active pari in affairs of the Association. Several state that they are pleased to get the Fraternal Voice and admit it serves as a reminder of membership and to pa> the dues. Some places report that collection of dues is very good, and prompt. The reports submitted enabled us to secNire many new addresses of juveniles we did not have, to correct addresses and to send the Fraternal Voice to several who did not receive it heretofore. Having the correct addresses of juveniles enables us to directly contact them when needed and eliminates much work for our office and the local secretary. From these reports wc also corrected many records and cards on file. The juvenile branches are getting along nicely, although some report that the spirit and better interest could be stimulated and improved if more officers and members would take a hand to assist. We are happy that in some ylaces juvenile work and conditions are very fine. A few statements were made that for the few children in the community there are too many organizations after them. Others admit there are insurable children around but no one interested enough to sign them up. Let us state here that you must make a personal call to sign them up, and in so doing you will have good luck even if *they do belong to other organizations. Juvenile insurance, such as ours, is reasonable enough so that children may belong to one or more orders. We earnestly hope that the results of this survey will awaken the spirit of each and every WSA member to the point of more loyal interest and better cooperation in ihe promotion and advancement of thevital lifeline of our organization—OUR WSA JUVENILE DEPARTMENT. Jump in there'and see what yot) can do in your respective lodge for improvement in juvenile affairs.

Juvenile and "Graduate" Juvenile Eligible The rules of the contest are Jierewith published for your information. Keep it handy, and DON'T FORGET now is the best time to get busy. Each and every juvenile who secures 50 credits on or before midnight June 30, 1941, shall be entitled to act as a juvenile delegate to the Second National Juvenile Convention at Chicago, 111,, in August of 1941, with expenses and per diem paid not to exceed $50.00. One credit will be issued to proposer for each new adult member secured and admitted from July 1, 1937 to June 30, 1941, inclusive. One credit will be issued to proposer for each new juvenile member secured and admitted from July 1, 1937 to June 30, 1941, inclusive. Proposers will receive such credits only when the new members complete one year of membership in the Association, or in the event that new member pays assessment in advance to complete one year of membership. One credit will be deducted for each such new member who drops out of Association before the assessment for one year is collected. New members who join after July 1940, must pay sufficent assesments in advance, by June 25, 1941, so as to complete their one year assessments required to allow credit. In the event that a new juvenile member, who joined the juvenile department after July, 1940, transfers to the adult department on or before July, 1941, a credit will be allowed, provided that such member pays sufficient assessments in advance to make a total membership of one year in both departments. Both juvenile and adult members may participate in this contest and secure credits, which shall be transferable. Credits secured by adults are transferable and only of value to any juvenile member. Only individual juveniles will benefit but accumulating credits given for new adult and juvenile members secured. A juvenile may transfer his credits to another juvenile. Transfer of credits are limited within the city where there is a WSA lodge located, however, if some representative of the Association secures new member in another town, he may transfer credits to some WSA juvenile of that town or to some juvenile in his home town. Any and all transfers of credits must be reported by letter to the Supreme Juvenile Supervisor at once, or not later than July 10, 1941, when all returns of this contest must be in. Credits in favor of the proposers will be. entered on the records of the supreme office as soon as the new members are accepted. If such member drops out before one year, a credit will be deducted from the records. The terms of this juvenile delegate contest shall not interfere with the commissions, prizes and conditions and terms of the "Our Crusade" Campaign. NEW RULE ADDED FOR "GRADUATE" JUVENILES All juveniles transfering into the Adult Department during the period between July 1, 1937 and June 30, 1941, are aligible to compete and become delegates according to the above rules of this contest.

That is why that frost was a memorable one. I' shattered the tew born hopes of the little vegetable creatures. They were bursting forth to show us humans that spring is the t/me to live again, and then the frost nipped their buds. I* was cruel, but when the sun came out the following day, you could see that although they were scarred like soldiers in a war, they were going right ahead. The blackened tender shoots which had been nipped were slowly dropping to the ground and new and greener shoots were replacing them. Truly, some of the buds would never become flowers ,but there were some left, and I know they will be more gorgeous than ever. This little drama in the vegetable world brings home a lesson. Often times we are filled with hopes and ambitions, we send forth shoots great things to come, and we expect everything to go without a "hitch, and then all of a sudden, from a clear sky, so to speak, we wake up and fin® that the frost of jealous and unkind criticism, has retarded our plans. This can happen in your every day lifcj Maybe in one of your clubs or socia' meetings. But take the example of the vegetable world in the spring, star' right over again, and you will be » the better because of the scars. BY BETTY. PUEBLO BOOSTERS NO. 3, WSA Pueblo, Colo. Members: "Surprises never seem to cease!" Imagine the Pueblo Boosters No. 3 back in circulation again. Isn't it wonderful? We haven't slacked down in any of our lodge work, but it seems as though the officers never had a chance to write. With our school studies, and activities there jj.ist wasn't any time left. We have lound time now and arc using it to the best of our ability by writing articles again in our paper "The Glasilo." Although spring is in the air and the lime when most people begin to get that ccrtain feeling, I seem to be in spired by it. It seems to me that set ting aside the month of May and de dicating it to our mothers was very appropriate. During May the flowers begin to bloom, the trees and the grass get greeiij and if a person would stop for a minute and wonder over the happenings some way or another he would soon realize that our mothers have helped us to sec it. They ar always around when we need them, especially when everything is dull and dreary to us, 'and some how or other always have a word of encouragement for us. In respect to our mothers who art cmr best friends, the Pueblo Boosters No. 3 are going to set aside May 11 to entertain their mothers. Every member is asked to come to St. Joseph Hall at 2 o'clock on the above date and bring his or her mother with him. Let's all come and show our mothers j'ist how much they really mean to us. Don't forget—Will you? ELSIE SPILLER. PIONEER WSA MEMBER PASSES AWAY We deeply regret to record the paps' ing of a long-time resident of Globe* ville who was well known and respect ed for his worthwhile efforts in be' half of the community and its inst'' tutions. Mr.. Andrew Boytz died at the ?' Anthony's Hospital after a four-inon"1 illness. He was a member of St. Maf' tin's Lodge No. 1 in Denver. The rosary was recited at the residency Requiem mass was sung at the H°'> Rosary Church and burial was Mount Olivet Cemetery.* ....... Surviving are his wife, Kathcri»e' daughters, Rose and Lillian Boy1*' Mrs. Michael P. Horvat, Mrs. Fran" J. Canjar and Mrs. John J. Yeleiii«*' and a son, Andrew J. Boytz. We tend our heartfelt sympathy to t» bereaved. LOOK, "CENTRAL CITY" Central City, Pa. All members of Golden Eagle lodge No. 59, young and old, arc requested to attend our regular meeting, which arc held every second Sunday oi UNITED COMRADES JUVENILE \ BRANCH NO. 1 a Denver, Colo. i Hello everybody! 1 Well, spring is quite well on its way, leaving behind it many things of beau-1 ] ty. Especially out here I noticed, just ; the other day, as I was coming home, ( the big white clouds in the blue sky, i the green grass, budding flowers, i trees, and bushes, and last but not least the lovely mountainous back- ; ground in the distance with the sun shining down on them, made me have : the feeling of spring, and that which makes everything so beautiful at this time of the year. How are all of you hard workers < coining along in the campaign? Just , keep at it. Because we want a crowd ; of juvenile delegates, maybe enough to < outnumber the adults? You know there ; isn't anything like trying. So let's make our organization have the largest Juvenile Dept. I see where No. 45 of Ruth, Nevada, has been coming into the picture these last few months. Congratulations! We should like to see a few juvenile delegates from Nevada, and maybe a new juvenile branch come into existence, so what say? Oh yes, I'm almost forgetting. At our last meeting installation of officers took place and after the meeting there was a quiz game at which prizes were given for the correct answers. Supervisor Doc'Sheir has planned a sort ot campaign or contest to get new members, of which the Major General is Arthur Jersin, and the Captains are Robert Trontel, Rose Plutt. and Kath-eryn Byers. The latter is also the Publicity Manager for the Colorado paper. This committee got togethei and discussed the matter and took it up with the supervisors and with then ) consent will be able to take over and • make for bigger and better meetings, 1 which will not only add to the enjoyment of the juveniles but will help make for a bigger and better juvenile branch also. So juveniles keep on the look out for further activities of the United Comrades, and remember to come to our meetings on every fourth Sunday of the month in the Slovenian • Hall, 4468 Washington Street, at 1:30 P. M. ,, , Don't forget to come to our Motn-I er's Day Program which is being planned for May 11, at 7:00 P. M- The c admission is free and everyone is welcome (We should like to sec some outsiders too). So hold this date open and come, be with the crowd on May 11, at the Slovenian Hall. Well, I guess I'll be seeing you again next month, but Mr. Editor, I'll be on time, that 1 promise, and hope you will forgive me for being late this time. So until then with my sincere Good Luck to those who are working hard to become delegates and my kindest regards to all, 1 remain, ROSE PLUTT, Secretary. P. S.: I was very sorry indeed to be informed that one 6f our hard working Supreme Officers, Mr. Matt J. Kochevar, is quite ill in the hospital, and I knovr that all will join me in sincerely .wishing him Good Luck and a speedy recovery. WOMAN'S SPHERE "Women and chidren first," is tl'c slogan of the fraternal benefit sysie111; and this suggests the interest and fluence women have in home protec tion. Of course the home is the natura sphere of the average woman, and ^ such she is naturally interested in protection, and also because of added social and human service Pr°. grams she naturally prefers fraterna home protection. The success of a home is based 1 a lar^e measure on the effect it ha upon the children in the home. Thj home must be secure or you impe|_ the race. Had we no wives or motl' ers w? would have no need for hon1^ protection. It follows then that a man's interest in life insurance is utl1 que and should call tor her best eff°r, to promote it.

Anton Zbašnik predlaga, naj se potrdi zapisnikar zboro vanja Peter Bernik; predlog soglasno sprejet. Zastopane so naslednje orga nizacije: Ameriška bratska zveza — Janko N.

Johna Gornika, tajnika Slovenske dobrodel ne zveze: Cleveland, 17. aprila 1941. Committee for Jugoslav Relief 2657-59 S. Lawndale Ave. Chicago, Illinois Cenjeni: "S tem potrjujem prejem brzojavk z dne 16. in 17. aprila. Na omenjena vabila Vam sporočam v toliko, da se strinjam s tem, da se organizira Centralni odbor vseh Jugoslovanov, kateri bi zbiral doneske za pomoč prizadetim v stari domovini. Kakor razumem brzojav, da se za enkrat sklicujejo samo zastopniki slovenskih organizacij, car je dobra ideja le, ako smo mi Slovenci pripravljeni pokazati svetovni in posebno ameriški javnosti, da ne držimo več skupaj z ostalimi Jugoslovani. Moje skromno mnenje, da se ameriški Jugoslovani ne obrnemo (zlasti Slovenci ne) proč od jugoslovanske države. Moj skromni nasvet je, da držimo skupaj, pazimo, da ne napravimo napake kot so to storiti Hrvatje in to v najbolj kritičnih časih. Glede zastopstva SDZ nismo na prvi sestanek poslali nikogar, prepričan pa sem, da bo naš gl. odbor pripravljen sodelovati v imenu organizacije za pomoč prizadetim Slovencem in Jugoslovanom. Ako bo zasnovan program in napravljeni zaključki, prosim sporočite. Zadevo predložim na seji gl. odbora dne 27. aprila. Zeleč Vam zdravih zaključkov in veliko uspeha, sem, z bratskim pozdravom JOHN GORNIK, gl. tajnik. Soglasno sprejet predlog, da se pismo vzame na znanje in zanese v zapisnik. Br. Joseph Zalar pojasni, da ,je prepričan, da bo tudi organizacija Družba sv. Družine sode-ovala v tej skupni akciji, ako-ravno ni poslala zastopnikov; pojasnilo se vzame na znanje, Br. Cainkar predlaga, da so navzoči zastopniki pravomočoi zastopati prijavljene organizacije na temu zborovanju; predlog soglasno sprejet. Br. Vincent Cainkar predstavi John Gottlieba, ki poroča, da se je prejšnji večer vršil sestanek Srbov, ki so izvolili Jugoslovanski pomožni odbor; podrobnosti mu niso znane. Se vzame na znanje. Br. Leo Jurjovec poroča, da.je bil navzoč na prvem sh.Cdu, katere^ js sHitea.1 jugoslovanski Neki italijanski podmornik, ki so ga Britanci nedavno zajeli oh južnem vhodu v sueški kanal. Na sliki se vidi, ko so angleško zastavo, "Union Jack", dvignili na ladji nad italijansko trobojnico. konzul v Chicagu, na katerem je bilo pojasnjeno, da bo izvoljen začasni pomožni odbor, nakai bo pozneje sklican velik javni shod v svrho izvolitve centralnega odbora, v katerem naj bi bili zastopani Slovenci, Hrvati in Srbi. Njemu ni bilo nikdar sporočeno, kdaj se bo ta shod vršil in kot je bilo sedaj poročano, se je vršil nekak sestanek, na katerega on ni bil povabljen; on sam je pa sklical shod v svoji okolici, toda udeležba ni bila tolika, kot bi bilo pričakovati. Na tem shodu ni bilo ničesar definitivnega sklenjenega. — Poročilo se vzame na znanje. Br. Anton Zbašnik poroča, da se je na Ely.ju že vršil shod vseh slovenskih društev in izvoljen je bil krajevni odbor, ki bo vršil pomožno akcijo v svojem okrož- separatističnemu gibanju, pa naj se pojavi kjerkoli ali od kogarkoli; zbrani smo tukaj za stopniki vseh slovenskih podpornih organizacij z enim sa-lhim namenom skupno sodelovati v pomoči našim bratom v stari domovini. Organizacije, tukaj zastopane, predstavljajo neoporečno 90% vseh Slovencev v A-meriki; separatistično gibanje kolikor ga je, je delo nekaterih prodanih posameznikov, ki v resnici ne predstavljajo nikogar kot peščico onih, ki so vedno pripravljeni prodati ne samo sebe, ampak cele narode. Br. Janko Rogelj poroča, da je tudi Hrvatska bratska zajed-nica za skupno akcijo kot je razvidno iz poziva na skupno konferenco, ki je bil poslan iz gl. u-'rada HBZ. Ta poziv ostro obsoja vsako separatistično gibanje, ki je dobilo nekoliko opore med ju po navodilu centralnega odbora, ki naj bo izvoljen na tej konferenci. Poudarja ponovno, da bo popolen uspeh mogoč le, ako se vse organizacije organizirajo za skupno delo in ravno tako tudi društva po slovenskih naselbinah naj se organizirajo na isti način; prepričan je, da se bo to izvršilo, ker dogodki v stari domovini so jasen dokaz, kaj v resni uri nesloga povzroči. Ti dogodki naj bodo šola za nas. Naše podporne organizacij? v Ameriki so pravi reprezentant našega življa v Zdr. državah Br. Joseph Zalar poroča, tla so slovenska društva v Jolietu tudi že na delu za to pomožno akcijo; bil je sestanek vseh slovenskih društev, izvoljen pose ben odbor in ta odbor bo vršil svoje delo po navodilu centralnega odbora. Na vidiku moramo imeti- eno dejstvo, to je vršiti to pomožno akcijo za vse ljudstvo v Jugoslaviji, ne smemo nikogar prezreti, kdor je v potrebi, za nas naj bo Jugoslavija kot celota in ne samo eden narod ali ena dežela. Mr. Mike Popovič poroča, da se je, kot je bil obveščen, v So. Chicagu vršil sestanek ali konferenca 16 srbskih društev; podrobnosti tega zbprovanja mu niso znane, dvomi pa, da bi bil izvršen kak defiiiitiven sklep ali da bi se organiziral kak poseben odbor. Er. John Ermenc poroča, da je bil v IVIihvaukeeju že sklican shod vseh jugoslovanskih društev in sicer na pobudo JPZ Sloge ; odzvala so se vsa društva zun hrvaških; kaj je vzrok, da se hrvaška društva niso odzvala, mu ni jasno. Gl. odbor JPZ Sloge je neoporečno za skupno akcijo in v teh smernicah bo sodelo- m val po svojih najboljših močeh. Br. Vincent Cainkar izjavlja, da je že današnji sestanek zadosten dokaz, da smo za skupne a,kcijo za združeno Jugoslavije ŽCJP proti vsakemy Hrvati v Ameriki. Sestra Josephine Erjavec želi pojasnila, ali bo mogoče poslati pomoč v Jugoslavijo, t. j. ali ne bosta Amerika in Anglija opo-ekali, ker je dežela zasedena po osišču. Br. Joseph Zalar pojasni, da bo vsa pomoč v Jugoslavijo poslana po ameriškem Rdečem križu; kajti po obstoječih zakonih vsaka skupina ali organizacija, ki zbira prispevke ali vodi kakršnokoli že pomožno akcijo za inozemstvo, se mora prijaviti državnemu departmentu za zunanje zadeve in dobiti zadevno d Kdor pa želi naročiti tudi Spominsko knjigo ki je bila izdana za štiridfesetletnico "Amerikauskega Slovenca" pred desetimi leti, katerih imamo š.e nekaj na roki, tak dobi obe skupaj, to je Spominsko knjjgo od 40 letnice in se- "7 C danjo Zlato knjigo, obe za samo-------/ %J\~> Naročila sprejema: Knjigarna Amerikanski Slovenec 1849 W.

Tako je nastal v New Yorku spor med majorjem La Guardia in nabornimi komisijami glede oprostitve od vojaške službe redarjev in ognjegascev. Mayor La Guardia stoji na stališču, da ti čuvarji lavne varnosti so itak na fronti narodne obrambo in ne bi smeli biti rekrutirani za vojaške vaje. V drugih krajih ne bilo nika-ke težkoče, kar se tiče njih oprostitve. Tudi glede presojevanje drugih okolnosti, ki naj odločajo potrebo oprostitve vsled tega, ker je nabornik vposlen v splo-sno koristnem delu, vladajo razna merila. Tako je bilo treba precej prepričevanja v neki občini. ki je imela tri zdravnika, da ne bi vse potrdili v vojake- Naborna oblast je napravila razna pravila. Tako je odredila, da bodo vsi meniški bratje v katoliški cerkvi, dasi lajiki, oproščeni od vojaške službe. Kar se tiče dijakov in znanstvenih delavcev. ni oblast hotela ustanoviti splošnega pravila, kar se tiče odložitve. j To delo naravno zavlačuje re-krutovanje, ali morda večja ovira je počasna zgradnja barak v PRODATI MORAM stanovanjsko poslopje na 204 Coulter st., Chicago; 4 stano vanja po 4 sobe; v ozadju cott tage s 4 sobami.

Vojaški naborni sistem je že v l veljavi šest mesecev in več kot s 200,000 mladih Amerikancev se 1 že nahaja na vežbališčih- Malo i bojazni, izraženih začetkoma, se i je vvesničilo. Nastale pa so dru- i ge nepričakovane težkoče. < Nekatere so bili mnenja, da bo < trgovina in industrija spravljena y nered vsled nabora tolikih mladih sil ';to mnenje se je izka- ^ zalo neosnovailim, pač pa je ločitev iz družine ustvarila večji ; problem kot se je pričakovalo. | _ Že sedaj; Ameriška Legija ' pripravlja zakonski načrt, ki bi pripoznal obvezno vojaško službo potom nabora kot stalno dej-sivo ameriškega življenja, ki pa omejeval vojaško izvežbanje na starost od 18 do 21 let. Ljudje okoli trideset let stari in več utegnejo imeti težkoče, da bi se po vojaški službi prilagodili civilnemu življenju, mnogo več kot mlajši ljudje. Pod sedanjim sistemom se morajo registrirati za vojaško službo vsi oni, ki so v starosti med 21 in 33 let. Sugestijo gospe Rooseveltove poudarja drugo vrsto težkoČ. Iz-1 razila je mnenje, da vsi moški, j živeči z ženo, bi morali biti od-1 loženi in najprej bi morali biti vpoklicani samci, ki imajo najmanj družinskih vez- Treba tudi izenačiti postopanje, kakor tudi odložitve. Neka-katere lokalne komisije odložu-jejo vse poročene može, druge komisije so zopet strožje in ne oproščajo od vojaške službe, ako žena dela. Isto velja glede preso-jevanja, da-li delo, kjer je na- "Ne obupajte!" jo je tolažil Kušar. "Danes se bo vse izpremenilo. Bližate se sreči . . ." "Trpljenju sem se prav za prav že privadila," je izrekla vdano. "Vendar bi rada dočakala trenutek, ko bo zmagala pravica ..." "Ta dan je blizu . . , Listina, katero bomo dobili, bo povedala, kdo ima pravico do grajskih zakladov .. .?" "Misel na onega tujca, ki me je poklical po imenu, mi podira nade . . . Skrbi me, da ni bilo naključje. . . Bojim se tistega Človeka . . ." Milan ji je dajal pogum: "Tvoj strah je prazen. Jaz in moj tovariš bova pozorna na vsako sumljivo senco . . ." "Zmeraj mi je pred očmi tisti človek... Čedalje bolj me vznemirja slutnja, da ima lažna dedinja tudi tukaj svoje pomagale .. ," "Ni mogoče." Milan je ugovarjal, a' na tihem ga je skrbelo. Njeno domnevanje se mu je videlo naposled le verjetno. "Tistega človeka bomo še našli," je menil Kušar. "Čakal nas bo nedvomno 'Pri belem orlu'. Ali pa ga bomo srečali na ulici .. . Kmalu bomo skupaj, ako bo stikal za nami . . ." Medtem so dospeli na grajsko dvorišče. Vratar jih je povedel h graščaku. "Danes prihajate v spremstvu." Gra-ščak Teodor se je zleknil v naslanjaču. Poznalo se mu je na obrazu, da mu niso prijetni taki obiski. Gizela mu je najprej predstavila svojega zaročenca, za njim pa Kušar j a, člana višjega sodišča — oba kot borilca za njene pravice. "Torej še niste uredili," je rekel hladno. Mladenka mu je povedala vso zgodbo o dediščini grajskih zakladov. "Hm,"tako, tako." Graščaka ni preveč genilo njeno pripovedovanje. "Prišla sem po listino, iz katere je razvidno, da je bil moj oče brat graščaka Roberta," je povedala svojo željo. "Ako jo opremite še s svojim podpisom in z graščinskim žigom, bo imela ta list ina popolno veljavo." "Lahko ti potrdim, da si bila pri meni pridna in poštena. Drugega potrdila pa ti jaz ne morem izdati..." < Mladenki so se podirale nade. "Vaša rajna gospa mi je večkrat pripovedovala, da ste me sprejeli kot siroto. Poznala je mojega očeta in vedela, da mu je brat graščak na Robovju. Listino s takimi podatki so našli v očetovi zapuščini." "Tega se danes več ne spominjam. Minilo je že več let in ni čudno, ako sem vse pozabil." "Morda pa imate zapisano in bi mi lahko ustregli," ga je prosila. "Kakor se mi dozdeva, sem vam izdal neko dokazilo, preden ste odpotovali..." "Tisto potrdilo sem*izgubila ..." "Pojdite k'mojemu pisarju, naj vam napiše novo ..." "Brez vašega ukaza tega ne bo hotel storiti." Z nejevoljo je graščak napisal listič in naroči, naj ga odda v grajski pisarni. Tako se je rešil njenega nadlegovanja. Takega sprejema Gizela ni pričakovala. Pokojna grajska gospa jo je ljubila kakor svojega otroka. Tudi graščak ji je bil naklonjen. Odkod ta nenadna izpre- ( meba ? V pisarni so jo premerili od nog do gla- , ve. Pisar je pripravil gosje pero in začel ] pisati. Napisal je nekaj kratkih vrstic ter , jih osušil z belim peskom. "Tukaj je pismo." Zvil je papir ter ga -dal mladenki. Molče je sprejela zvitek ter i ga sukala v roki. "Ali bi še kaj radi?" jo je vprašal nejevoljno, ker se ni takoj odstranila. "Spis je brez podpisa," je boječe omenila. "Vem," je odvrnil osorno. "Taka poti- : dila podpisuje mestno oblastvo . . ." Kušar je stopil pred pisarja ter ga opozoril na važnost navedbe, kdo je lil njen oče. "Mi-ga ne poznamo," ga je zavrnil. "Česar ne vemo, tega ne smemo _ potrditi. Mestno oblastvo pa ima zapisnik prebivalstva ter vam bo rado ugodilo." V mestu so nastale nove ovire. Nikjer ni bilo zapisano, kdaj in kje je umrl njen oče. Ime so naposled iztaknili v neki prijavni knjigi, a je bilo brez pripombe. Gizela se je sklicevala na očetovo bivališče, ki je bilo medtem že dvakrat prodano. Oče je bil le najemnik, zato je bilo njegovo ime površno navedeno. Manjkalo je rojstnih podatkov. Mestno oblastvo je odložilo njeno prošnjo. Zahtevalo je priče, ki so poznale njenega očeta. Mladenka se ni spomnila nikogar. Vsa obupana je odšla z mestnega oblastva. Bolj ko kdaj poprej je čutila, da je obsojena na pregnanstvo. Milan pa ni obupal. Zanašal se je na mestnega oblastnika. Gregor plemeniti Valant je bilo ime možu, v katerega jc stavil poslednje nade. Ako se ne moti, je ta mož celo njegov daljni sorodnik. Kogar-je vprašal, vsak mu ga ie pohvalil. Njegovo modre odredbe so popravile marsikako krivico, za katero se niso zmenili prejšnji mestni gospodarji. To mu je dajalo ugled in veljavo. -Milan in plemeniti Valant sta se pozdravila kot daljna sorodnika. Doslei se še nista videla ter se nista poznala. Obema je bilo prijetno nepričakovano svidenje na tuji zemlji. "Pa kaj vas je privedlo semkaj?" ga je vprašal po kratkem uvodu. Mladenič mu je predstavil svojo zaročenko in opisal njeno usodo. "Storil bom vse, kar bo mogoče," je obljubil poln sočutja. "Nihče vam ne sme kratiti dedne pravice. Kdor bi se drznil, ga bomo kaznovali." Prijaznost visokega gospoda je opogu- ! mila mladenko. Vsi njeni dvomi so se razpršili. Povedala mu je, kje so živeli njeni starši, ki so ji pomrli v otroški dobi. Usmilila se jo ie graščakinja s. Malinja. V gradu se ji ni slabo godilo. Dediščine ni nikoli pričakovala, čeprav je vedela, da ima na Robovju bogatega strica, ki nima potomcev. Skoro ustrašila se ie vabila, naj pride na Robovje. Pa je vzlic temu odpotovala. In takrat se ji je začela trn jeva pot življenja. "Graščaka Roberta sem poznal," ji je oblastnik segel v besedo. "Menda je bil silno premožen . . ." (Dalje prih.) nekaterih taborih. Vzlic temu pričakuje se, da okolo 1. junija bo v vežbi 1,400,000 vojakov. Od teh 650,000 bo obvezno rekruto-vanih, dočim ostali so prostovoljci, ki so vstopili v redno vojsko, odkar je bila uvedena vojaška služba. -o- Hiše prestavljajo V Petanjcih ob Muri so kar prestavili majhno hišo čisto po amerikansko.
