Seated from left to right: Gladys Buck, Sec’y br. 16; Emma Planinšek, Pres. br. 20; Katie Triller, Pres, hostess br. 16; Josephine Livek, Supreme President; Josephine Železnikar, Supreme Treasurer; Mary Muller, State President and Elizabeth Zefran, Director of Women’s Activities.
Rev. Claude Okorn, O.F.M.:
Tongue and Charity
Improper usage of the tongue could be very detrimental. Pne of the most discouraging things about human nature the eagerness with which persons listen to bad news and scandalous rumors about their friends and neighbors and then hasten to broadcast what they heard usually adding their own version of the news with some sensational details. The same very persons hear good news about their friends and acquaintances with only the mild-est interest and with no compelling impulse to pass the 'vord along.
A college senior had just his final examinations with h'Kh credit. He was a young man of fine character and not accustomed to drinking. But he felt that some sort °f celebration was due. Most of his friends were out of town, so he decided to go on his own to celebrate.
stopped at the neighborhood bar for a couple of beers and a little friendly conversation.
Happy occasion and a poor judgement landed him in a jail on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was too ashamed to call on his friends for help but one of them found out and the bad news spread around like wildfire. Most of them did not wait to hear his side of the story. A'l his good qualities were forgotten as they reviewed n>s past with avid interest and made it over to correspond ^ith his new situation They decided that he always had “een a bad egg.
The tongue is said to be an unruly member. But the truth is that the tongue never goes astray when it does Jhe bidding of a charitable heart. Rash judgement is a sin against justice. It consists in condemning another without Sufficient grounds for condemnation. Who art thou that JUdgest thy neighbor?
if any man among you biidletb not his tongue this
tnan’s religion is vain.
The President’s Monthly Message
The Illinois State Convention
with members and delegates from numerous cities of the state came to So. Chicago Sunday May 22nd., for the opening of the second lllonis State Convention. After a short exchange of greetings from the local officers, everyone marched in line to the Church for the High Mass at 11:30 offered by Father Jerome, Pastor of St. George’s. Also present was our Spiritual Advisor, Rev. Claude Okorn from Milwaukee, Wis.
Rev. Jerome greeted the assembly in his sermon and gave his blessing for a successful meeting. Members of the Choir sang most heavenly under the direction of Mr. Sterbenz. After the Mass everyone walked back to the Church Hall to partake of the delicious dinner prepared by the host branch #1C of So. Chicago.
Only the largest branches sent representation which 1 thought was not lair because every branch expects representation at the National Convention and the State Convention is equally important. The meeting opened with a prayer and reports were head from the delegates present from La Salle, Oglesby, So. Chicago and from branch #2, Chicago. The biggest problem is, how to get new members and most questions were in that direction. The advice of our previous Supreme Treasurer, sister Josephine Muster was the best, she said, "you all go and work and GET NEW MEMBERS” and that is just what we all have to do in the next PRE-CONVENTION CAMPAIGN which continues until December 31st.
A rich program of lovely singing and dancing and music was interspersed during the meeting which was enjoyed immensely by everyone present. Director of the Bowling Association, sister Josephine Sumic from Joliet urged more often advertising of Bowling and Youth Activities in Zarja as these are the main-stay in the organization as far as youth is concerned. Finally, Chicago #2, was sel-
ected to host next years Convention, the time and date to be announced later.
We were happy to see such a large representation of officers and previous supreme Officers from Joliet namely, Mmes, E. Planinšek, J. Erjavec, J. Muster, J. Sumic and secretary F. Gaspich. They all took part in the discussion which was most interesting. The contribution to the cultural field of our youth in Joliet by these fine ladies over a long period of years cannot be measured. Much of the work will be manifested in the lives of the youth in the next generation as well as the present. Their services willingly given to all worth-while projects including a Chorus, will never be forgotten.
WE SALUTE YOU JOLIET! and hope for many more such happy participations.
Our humble gratitude goes to the officers and committees of branch #16 of So. Chicago for the grand service extended to the delegates and friends. THANK YOU ALL! State President, sister M. Muller thanked the assemble for attending and closed the Convention with a prayer.
July 17th Lemont Day:
All members and friends are cordially invited to attend the annual pilgrimage at Lemont this year again in company with your friends. As customary, branch 2, Chicago will prepare a delicious dinner and serve refreshments throughout the day. — Until then. Most sincerely yours, Josephine Livek, Supreme President

ILLINOIS-INDIANA CONVENTION REPORT
The eagerly-awaited second annual convention for the Illinois-Indiana branches was held on May 22 in South Chicago, Illinois.
Our day opened with High Mass in St. George’s Church; the singing was inspirational-llke that of the angels. After Mass, a festive meal awaited us in the Church Hall — a cheerful atmosphere prevailed; tables set with beautifully arranged flowers and candles. A short program, given by the school children of St. George parish, followed the meal. Our toastmistress — Jean Bukvich
—	introduced the members of the Supreme Board: Josephine Livek, Josephine Železnikar, Katie Triller, and Elizabeth Zefran. A surprise appearance by Father Claude Okorn brightened our gathering.
We had an interesting round table discussion as each delegate gave her report. All delegates were not at this convention — we hope more will attend next time. Our problems seem to be universal, our suggestions many. I hope the branches profit a little by some of the remarks which were given by those delegates who were present — they all really cooperated very nicely.
Our next convention, to be sponsored by Branch 2, will be held in Chicago; the date is to be decided by our members.
I want to thank once more the members of Branch #16 for their gracious reception and for being such wonderful hostesses and tireless workers. They made the day one to be long remembered fondly by all of us.
Mary Muller, State President

Corinne Leskovar
No. 13, San Francisco, Calif. It
is with much happiness I report a successful games night on May 5th. We realized a profit of a little over $100.00 and we are so happy as this way at least our officers salaries are Paid at the end of this year. As you all know when we collect our dues we keep only 5(* per member for our treasury. All other money is sent for our members’ insurance, so it is little wonder we have to hold various money making events through the year to cover all our incidental expenses. So ladies, we MUST depend on YOU to help build our financial fund. Masses and flower pieces are also taken from our fund.
Our committee consisted of the following members and it is due to their efforts we have been successful. If the names seem familiar you can be sure its the same old STANDBYS. Thank heavens for these workers: Mrs. Mary Stariha, Anna Stark and Anna Stich; kitchen: Jerry Adami, Katie Plut (who distributed the hand bills at all the games she attends), Mary Ansel, Kate Cepernich, Mary Plut and our Liz McGivney who addes Cheer to all functions; Rose Scoff who sold numerous tickets at the evening function; Bara Kramer and Margaret Klint who brought their friends with them; then our real trouper, Betty Doherty, who in her very quiet way does so much and never takes any credit. Betty brought her gang along and sent all the letters and did all the printing of tickets which saved us the usual $18.00 cost.
WEST COAST PLANS STATE DAY IN SEPTEMBER
Here is our beautiful city of San Francisco, br. 13 will again celebrate “California Zveza Day” with a full day’s program. It will take place on Sept. 25th beginning with 8:30 a.m. Holy Mass at the Church of the Nativity.
At our last meeting, it was decided that we have breakfast at our world-famous Cliff House, as everyone enjoyed it so two years ago.
We are sorry that Fontana cannot join us for the celebration and hope that some day they will be able to be with us for a joint event.
Rose Scoff, State President
Betty, ’tls said “he who does great deeds never toots his own horn, because the bugles of Heaven ever tell their worth.” Guess this applies to you! As chairman, I can only commend you one and all, on a job well done, and to say I had an excellent committee. I did it again! Mary Mer-kovich walked in with her usual lovely gift and I snapped It out of her hand without so much as a thank you. Seems, Mary, I get busy and forget my good manners at times. I know I can depend on you to forgive this poor Sinner. Thanks so much to all who donated the lovely gifts. “100 Proof” for our game was donated by Mary Ansel and Tillie Kambick and brought quite a good sum. Thanks, girls.
Would any of our Sisters in various branches be interested in a trip to Hawaii come next summer? If so let me hear from vou and I’ll see what
I	can do about being your guide. Drop me a note to Fran Chiodo, 624 San Bruno Ave. San Francisco 10, Calif.
Mary Frankenstein passed away leaving two fine sons, Bob and Eddie to carry on. We will miss Mary who was so cheerful and brought happiness with her presence. Mary’s family will know her loss as they were very closely-knit. God lead her way to Heaven.
See you soon

LARRY PFEIL
No. 14, Euclid, Ohio — As always, president Amalia Legat opened our June meeting with a prayer. She was grateful for the large attendance.

May God keep you in good health!
On Father’s Day the active members and their friends are having dinner at leap’s in Geneva. Mrs. Lap is a good cook and everyone who has eaten her food, knows it is good and will enjoy going back again and a-gain.

Pauline Cesar, Sec’y
No. 19, Eveleth, Minn. — Our last meeting was well attended and the business session was kept short in order to give us more time to enjoy the evening's program. Miss Mary Loushine showed slides of her trip to Europe, and it gave me great pleasure to hear the members reminisce, as various scenes reminded them of childhood years. A very fine luncheon was served at beautifully decorated tables. May we say a hearty, “THANK YOU”, to all those who worked.
At times like this I realize what a fine heritage we have. You find gra-ciousriess, hospitality, hope and humility, dei p faith, and an immensurable appreciation of God’s gifts. Such high principles cannot be purchased like materials, but must be cultivated and nurtured. I sincerely hope our young members absorb them by association before it is too late.
Earlier this week I called on Mrs. Mary Lenich, a very dear friend, and a wonderful Zveza booster. Among other things, we talked about the fortcoming Minnesota Zveza Day. We have high hopes of making this one of the most memorable days in your calendar this year. Our branch officers, and other members, are working already to make this a most enjoyable occasion. There will be no discussion of serious matters, save those for the convention next year.
The date is September 11th, and the place is Eveleth. We will start the day by worshipping together at a 10:30 High Mass at the Holy Family Church where St. Cecelia’s Choir will sing Slovenian hymns. Later there will be a banquet, for which you
MID-WEST TOURNAMENT MOST SUCCESSFUL
Winners anil scores on page 161 JOLIET, ILL. — Never before in the history of S. W. U. Bowling Tournament has more success attended the various programs. In that all the events were held under one roof is significant of the good fortune Joliet had in hosting the event.
The Higliligths of the tournament were furnished by (he big dig Saturday (April 2) night. The occasion took on another significant aspect besides entertaining the many S.W.U. Bowlers with the finest orchestra in Illinois the Joliet Rivals Club celebrated the panelling of the cocktail lounge — breaking in the wall to the main hall and the christening of the beautiful drapery of the south east wall windows. The setting was supreme and the atmosphere furnished by the true S.W.U. spirit of fun and good sportsmanship.
Chicago had their two long tables where the wind wras blowing in gale proportions at one Queen Elizabeth Zefran reigned supreme at the other table it was Gen Kovacic and Elsie (once Ovnik). Then LaSalle in their usual boisterous extravaganzas dancing the feet off everybody. The Oglesby girls had a neat eleven game going on behind the orchestra pit. Fran Kirback won everything; she took home what everybody wanted (our fabulous green wampum doll). All those Oglesby girls are real enter-(continued on page i61)

To all members of the Slovenian Women’s Union, wherever you may be from, if you are planning on being in this vicinity on September 11th, please mark it on your calendar and head for Eveleth. Thank you.

No. 20, Joliet, III. — Our May meeting was observed in a most delightful manner. First of all, our mothers were honored, then our president, Mrs. Emma Planinšek presented a corsage to Mrs. Anna Korevec, the ‘‘most worthy and popular mother of the year”. Mrs. Planinšek recalled all the good deeds and hard work for the benefit of the branch displayed by Mrs. Korevec during her terms of various offices. Mrs. Korevec was very impressed and grateful to the members for choosing her this year. She reaffirmed her cooperation in the future. After a short meeting, the regular party was held in honor of the celebrant and mothers with cakes, ice cream and sodas. The members, under direction of Mrs. Jennie Spren-gel, sang-appropriate May hymns, and after the showing of colored movies of Colorado and Lourdes, the meeting was closed.
Now we will have a three months rest, if in arrears with your dues, do not hesitate to come and take care of such matters at the home of our secretary, Frances Gaspich, where you will always be met with a big smile.
Mrs. Korevec was then escorted to her home by a number of members, first stopping to a visit to the cemetery where her daughter, Mrs. Mary Anne
Theobald, was laid to rest just one month ago. Here Mrs. Korevec placed all the flowers presented her that evening.
At our May meeting two door prizes were given; the first was won by Mrs. Anna Mahkovec, the second by Mrs. Theresa Koleto as the oldest member present at the meeting.
A Solemn First mass was offered in our parish by the Rev. Kenneth Fagarason, who has joined the St. Viator order. His mother is known as the former Josephine Buchar from Marble St., and his grandmother, the late Mrs. Anna Buchar, was our active member years ago. His aunt, Mrs. Agnes Ferkul and other relatives are also members.
At this time we congratulate the parents and with best wishes for guidance and blessings to the new priest, Father Kenneth Fagarason.
Our member, Mrs. Stella Tezak, mourns the loss of her mother Mrs. Helen Ferbežar age 84, who passed away in her home. She was preceded in death by her husband in 1948. Our condolences to the bereaved family and may she rest in peace.
Our secretary mailed cards wishing a speedy recovery to Mrs. Victor Bernikas who is the daughter of our sargeant of arms, Mrs. Theresa Mu-hich; also to Mrs. Jos. Gerlnchar and Mrs. Rudolph Pucel. All three underwent major operations at St. Joseph’s Hospital.
A cordial invitation from the president, Miss Katie Triller and secretary, Miss Gladys Buck was extended our branch to attend a state convention, where br. 10 was the host May 22nd. Our officers and some bowlers attended. We were received with sincerity and friendliness. We all attended the Holy mass, later dinner was served. We also met our Spiritual Director Rev. Claude Okom who attended the state convention proceedings.
At this time we want to thank the officers and members of br. 10 for their very delicious and various assortment of food which was served to us; to the members who prepared for this event and to those who entertained us with special selected programs. When you speak of br. 16, you speak of sincere hospitality and graciousness. We assure you, it was a
pleasure to be with you for the day.
Our congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Albin Pluth for the birth of their new son. Mrs. Pluth will be remembered among us as the former Helen Zadel.
Wishing you all a very pleasant summer.	Josephine Erjavec

No. 50, Cleveland, Ohio — Our May
meeting was rather quiet and solemn as we remembered with prayer our dear Mary Loushin who passed away a month ago. We all feel lost without her and only are consoled thinking she is happy and at peace. For the rest of the year, it will be my task to take over her responsibilities and I know I will never be able to fill her shoes — but, I hope to do my best and to earn the love of my sister members as did Mary.
Thanks to our fine member, Louise Mlakar, who represented our branch, and said the prayer in memory of Mary Loushin at the funeral.
LEONARD J. KURE

Denver, Colo. On Saturday, May
14.	Branch No. 63 of the Slovenian Women’s Union celebrated their 25th anniversary with a banquet and program in the Slovenian Hall. The program. arranged by Father Leopold Mi-helich, assistant pastor of Holy Rosary church, and spiritual director of the S W.U., was a complete success. John Pavlakovich did a masterful job as toastmaster. A delegation of about fifty people from Pueblo, Colorado (a city 120 miles south of Denver) attended the festivities.
The program was opened by Mrs. Mamie Kovac, president of Branch G3. Father John Canjar, pastor of Holy Rosary church, was introduced, greeted the guests, and said the opening prayer. Among the guests of honor who were introduced were Mrs. Frances Raspet of Pueblo, organizer of Branch No. 63; Mrs. Anna Pachak of Pueblo, president of the Colorado Federation of the Slovenian Women’s Union; Mr. Mike Popovich, Supreme President of The Western Slavonic Association; Mr. Anthony Jersin, Supreme Secretary of the W.S.A.; Mr. John D. Butkovich of Pueblo, past Supreme President of the C.F.U., President of Western Star Lodge No.
16,	W.S.A., and conductor of the Slovenian Radio Hour in Pueblo; and Mr. Joseph Pavlakovich, representing the K.S.K.J.
Mamie Kovac, Molile Svigel, Frances Gerze, Cecilia Kreiling, Ellen Nortnik. Anna Mikan, and Josephine Siegwarth, present officers of Branch
63,	were introduced
Charter members of Branch 63 present at the banquet as guests of honor were Johanna Zemljak, Mary Modic, Antonia Zgainer, Anna Virant, Agnes Krasovich, and Johanna Kra-sovich, who several months ago was chosen Br. 63’s Mother of the Year.
Two hundred fifty people attended the banquet, which consisted of a dclicious baked ham dinner, complete with all the trimmings, including potica which was absolutely out of this world. During the dinner the guests were entertained by recordings of Slovenian musio furnished and arranged by Engineer Anthony Mavetic and Silvan Birsa. Both Messrs. Mavetic and Birsa are visitors from Yugoslavia. Mr. Mavetic is here on a stu-
Happy Birthdays were sung to: Mrs. Catherine Anziek, Profie Costa-rella, Virginia Rostan, Nettie Seveki, Mary Salajko, Mary Pacic, Barbara Martin, Dorothy Magill, Florence Luhz, and Anna Krlvac.
The prizes went to Mrs. Betty Hall-worth, Helen Swabek, Mildred Wool-ford, and Mrs. Fodor.
The Men’s Slovenian Union held their convention May 29th here in Girard and it was a success. Their Guest Speaker was Mr. Matt Intihar of Cleveland along with the Mayor
dent visa, and Mr. Birsa on a tourist visa. It is amazing how well they have adapted themselves to our ways and customs in the short time they have been here. They pitched in and helped with the program just as though they were life-long residents of the community.
The program was very entertaining. One of the acts which was especially well received was by Dr. and Mrs. G. P. Ivancie and two of their children. They were dressed in authentic Slovenian costumes and sang several Slovenian folk songs, accompanied on the accordion by Dr. Ivancie. Mrs. Mary Ivancie introduced the act with a beautiful and perfect little speech in Slovenian. The amazing thing about her achievement is that her ancestors are Irish, and she knew hardly a word of Slovenian until four months ago when she and her husband enrolled in Father Mihelich’s Slovenian class which is held every Monday evening in the School hall.
Another outstanding feature of the program was a couple of vocal soloists from Pueblo, Loretta Thompson, 15, and Mary Therese Karlinger, 10, proteges of Mr. Butkovich. Both of them are accomplished singers. A choral group of young girls from Holy Rosary school sang several Slovenian songs which were magnificent. One of their numbers which called for an encore was “Zvezina himna.” The choral group and the girls from Pueblo were accompanied on the piano by Miss Charlotte Padboy.
The closing address was given by Spiritual Director Father Mihelicb, who pointed out that one of the purposes of the Slovenian Women’s Union is to promote and develop Slovenian culture He announced that one of their forthcoming projects was to be the promotion of the sale of the popular book, “ThiB is Slovenia,” a well-illustrated little volume with a concise history of Slovenia from its beginning up until the present time. This book should be in every home.
After the program the banquet guests, joined by an additional 200 people, danced to the music of Paul Weingardt’s orchestra, and thus completed a perfect evening. _____________________Eddie	Krasovich
of Girard, Mr. John DePitro and other local officials. This was another affair I had to miss, and was informed that the convention, banquet, and dance was a big success and fun was had by all. The committees did a wonderful job.
One of our members, Agnes Les-nak passed away after a short illness. She was such a devoted wife to her sick husband, and didn’t want to go to the hospital to leave him behind. To Mr. Lesnak we extend our sincere sympathy.
Mr. Frank Bahn husband of one of our members, Mrs. Mary Bahn Passed away. To her and her children we also extend our deepest sympathy.

No. 100, Fontana, Calif. — With summer here, perhaps many of us will not see each other until vacation time is over. This spring we were very busy. First there was the Mother’s Day party and 3rd anniversary of our branch. We observed “Šmarnice” or May Devotion at Etawanda church and then later in the month enjoyed a bon voyage party for Gertrude Rupert, Mary Železnikar, Frank Horzan, and Louis Kukman and the opening of the Slovenian Rest Home. The branch’s Mother’s Day observance at which we honored our Mother-of-the-Year, Mary Vidergar, was wonderfully attended. To her we presented a corsage and a gift. She was so happy that she had tears in her eyes. May God bless you always, Mary.
Our sincere thanks to Fr. Francis Horvath for the most inspiring and beautiful talk and most sincere thanks to the singing club. Thanks to all the ladies who brought food and helped in any way.
Congratulations on a recent engagement! That is of Rena Drawenek and Donald Gene Case. Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness.
We wish all sick members a speedy recovery, especially my sisters Mary Habich and Sophie Gorup. May God give you all better heath.
Happy birthday and anniversaries to all celebrants. Till we meet again!

No. 106, Detroit, Mich. — Mrs. Zorka Maisel was our May hostess. She greeted us with a big smile and entertained us royally for which we wish to express our appreciation. She had a birthday cake for celebration of three members' birthdays, namely, Zorka herself, Lillian Ault and Julia Zrimec. We wish them a happy and healthful life.
Celebrating Mother’s Day, we honored our Katherine Musick Mother-of-the-Year, and president Julia Pan-zica pinned a lovely corsage on her. Katherine was touched to tears, and, we know she deserves all the honor we could show her. Our meeting, thus, was well worthwhile.
We surely missed some of our members who weren’t able to attend for various reasons. One was Pauline Adamic who was absent for the first time! Hope to see you all at our next meeting. Rose Jamnik, Reporter
Marie Prisland:
V	starem kraju še vedno krožijo zgodbice iz davnih dni. Eno tako mi je pripovedoval star prijatelj, ko sem bila tam na obisku. Tiče se Bočne in Gornjega grada v Savinjski, oziroma v Zadrečki dolini. Upam, da tamošnji rojaki — zelo fini ljudje — ne bodo zamerili, če objavim, kar sem slišala:
Pred kakimi 200 leti se je po gozdovih okrog Bočne v Zadrečki dolini klatil razbojnik po imenu Martinček. Samotnim potnikom je jemal denar, kmetom kradel živino, izmikal slanino in šunke izpod dimnikov, pobiral jajca iz gnezd in tako dalje in tako naprej. Živel je veselo in vedno na tuj račun.
Ljudje iz Bočne so se razbojnika bali in na vse načine skušali, da bi ga ujeli. Ujeti razbojnika pa ni lahka stvar. Martinček je imel nož vtaknjen za škornjem in pištolco za pasom; takšnemu človeku se ne da zlahka blizu priti. Poleg tega je bil razbojnik močan kot štajerski bik, kar je že nekaj.
Bočna je lepa vasica s slikovito okolico in prijaznimi prebivalci. Ob času današnje povesti je imela jako brihtnega župana, katerega je silno jezilo, da razbojnik razsaja in krade ravno v njegovi občini. Rad bi mu na skrivaj dal lepo darilo, če bi se hotel umakniti v kak drug kraj, na-primer na Rečico, ali v Gornji grad. Da, v Gornji grad! Tamkaj Imajo graščino, kjer je bogatija! Naj bi Martinček še te nekoliko oskubil, Bočno pa v miru pustil.
Župan je sklical občinsko sejo. Zbrali so se resni možje, jezni in srditi na razbojnika. Navzoči so bili vsi razen blagajnika, ki je šel v Celje po vino. Imel je namreč oštarijo. Blagajnik Štefan je bil odprte glave in je vedno znal postaviti pametno besedo. Občinske seje so brez njega bile prazne in puhle.
“No, kaj bomo pametnega ukrenili, možje? Kako se bomo razbojnika iznebili, ki nam povzroča toliko strahu in skrbi,’' je zaskrbljeno vprašal župan potem, ko so že cele tri ure govorili in se prerekali, kaj storiti z razbojnikom. Vsi so bili mnenja, da je treba Martinčka dobiti in ga obsoditi, a kako, to je bila pa druga viža.
Naenkrat je zunaj pied občinsko hišo nastal hrup in vik in v sobo se primajeta blagajnik Štefan in razbojnik Martinček, oba pijana kot klade.
“Tu-le sem vam prignal razbojnika, možje!” je na vso grlo kričal blagajnik Štefan ter porinil Martinčka pred župana. “A to vam povem, da mora občina poravnati škodo! Pol soda vina sem stočil, predno se je Martinček dovolj napil, da se je dal ujeti.”
Martinček se je režal na vsa usta. V svoji pijanosti je vse občinske može objel po vrsti, nakar se je na tla sesedel in zasmrčal.
Vsi so hoteli vedeti, kako je Štefan razbojnika ujel. Štefan je pripovedoval:
“Peljal sem vino, ki sem ga kupil v Celju. Vročina je bila huda Zapeljem v senco, odbijem čep pri sodu, votlo pšenično slamico v sod porinem ter ga pričnem cukati, ker sem bil silno žejen. Iz hoste prilomasti Martinček ter zavpije, naj mu takoj dam denar in požirek vina, če ne, mi bo vrat prerezal. Kaj sem hotel? Dal sem mu goldinar
—	ves denar, ki sem ga imel — hitro skočil v pšenico, odrezal votlo bilko in povabil razbojnika na sod. In tako sva oba sedela na sodu in ga srkala. Le po njem, Martinček. sem rekel, saj ga bo občina plačala!
Srkala sva in srkala; treba je bilo po dve pšenični bilki skupaj sestaviti, da sva dosegla vino. Razbojnik je posta-
jal mehak. Povabil sem ga v mojo hišo, češ, kaj se boš ponoči okrog klatil. In zdaj ga imamo! Kar brž s sodbo, predno nam uide!”
Občinski možje so Martinčka takoj obsodili na smrt ln sicer na vislice, ker take so bile takrat cesarske postave. Vislic v Bočni sicer niso imeli, a imeli so jih v Gornjem gradu. Predlog je bil, da se piše v Gornji grad, če bi jim vislice posodili.
Gornjegrajski župan je ob prejemu pisma takoj sklical občinsko sejo. Prebral je pismo in prošnjo iz Bočne ter vprašal, ali se vislice posodijo. “Bočani so storili dobro delo. ker so razbojnika ujeli, zato zaslužijo pohvalo in pomoč,” je menil župan
Občinski očetje so nekaj časa gruntali in ugibali, kako in kaj, končno se oglasi najstarejši in pravi:
“Res je lepo, da so Bočani razbojnika ujeli; pišimo jim zahvalno pismo. Da bi naše vislice posojevali, pa ne gre! Če so Bočani sami razbojnika ujeli, naj si sami še vislice postavijo! Vsaka občina naj skrbi za svoje potrebe!” Župan in občinski možje gornjegrajski so bili zavzeti nad tako bistroumnim predlogom. Pohvalili so svojega kolega, sprejeli njegov predlog ter takoj pisali Bočanom, da vislic ne posodijo.
Bočani so spet imeli sejo, ter se močno jezili na “obrne" in neprijazne Gomjegrajčane. Razbojnik pa je zvezan v županovi kleti čakal smrti.
“Kaj naj zdaj storimo?” je vpraševal župan zbrane občinske tovariše. "Nove vislice stanejo najmanj 20 goldinarjev. Koliko denarja je v blagajni, Štefan?”
“Petnajst goldinarjev. Sinoči sem jih preštel,” pove blagajnik Štefan.
“Torej ni dovolj denarja, da bi kupili vislice?”
“Nikakor ne! Manjka !5 goldinarjev!”
“Kako se bomo spravili iz te zagate?” je zastokal župan. “Razbojnik nam vsak dan požre za en goldinar kruha, mesa in vina. Moramo se ga rešiti!”
Možje premišljujejo, tuhtajo, ugibajo dalj časa, nobenemu pa ne pade v glavo rešilna misel. Vsi so popolnoma prepričani, da je treba ujetega razbojnika spraviti lz tega sveta, a kako, da bi posebnih stroškov ne bilo. Končno se dvigne Štefan — bistra glava — ter navzoče takole nagovori:
“Slavni župan! Odlični možje občinski! Naše ljudstvo nas je izvolilo, da čuvamo blagor občine Bočne, da čuvamo občinsko blagajno, zato tega zaupanja ne smemo zapraviti. Zakaj bi delali stroške za nove vislice, ki stanejo 20 goldinarjev, v blagajni jih je pa samo 15? Poleg tega bo treba razbojnika pred smrtjo dobro pogostiti kot j0 navada v takih slučajih, kar bo spet nekaj koštalo. Predlagam, naj bi teh 15 goldinarjev, ki so v blagajni, namesto, da jih potrošimo za nove vislice dali razbojniku, pa se naj sam obesi, kjer se hoče. Na ta način ne bo občina imela ne sitnosti, ne stroškov, temveč celo 5 goldinarjev profita.” Veliko veselje je zavladalo v občinski sobi nad pametnim in za občinsko blagajno tako koristnim predlogom. Razbojnik res ni vreden, da bi radi njega imeli izredne stroške. Takoj so iz kleti privedli Martinčka ln mu izročili denar z navodilom:
“Martinček! Za svoja hudodelstva sl bil po cesarskih postavah obsojen na smrt na vislicah, ki jih pa Bočna nima. Tu imaš 15 goldinarjev! Pojdi in se sam obesi, kjer se hočeš. Najbližje vislice so v Gornjem gradu. Predno sl boš vrat zadrgnil, nam napiši pismo, da bomo vedeli, da sl našo obsodbo točno in pravilno Izvršil.”
Razbojnik Martinček pograbi denar, se pred slavni®^ občinskimi možmi večkrat zaporedoma do tal prikloni’ vsakemu posebej roko poda, ginjen sl utrne debelo solzo ln odšvedra iz sobe. — Ali se je obesil? Nekdo je baje na gornjegrajskih vislicah, ki so postavljene blizu Homca, videl viseti nekaj človeku podobnega. Če je to bil Martinček, ali ne, pa pravzaprav nihče ne ve. Tudi pisma nis° Bočani prejeli, kjer bi obešenec potrdil, da je izvršil zaP°' vedano smrtno obsodbo nad samim, seboj. Le pripovedk® o razbojniku gre od ust do ust zadnjih 200 let.
Rev. Claude Okorn, O.F.M.:
O duhovnosti
Kamorkoli danes greste in imate priliko govoriti z ljudmi, se pogovor navadno vrti okoli dela in zaslužka, in seveda neobhodnega kritiziranja našega bližnjega. Človek dobi vtis, da ljudje nimajo smisla za nobeno drugo reč kakor le za svoj vsakdanji kruh ali kakor pravi sveto pismo: kaj bodo jedli in pili in kako se bodo oblekli. Včasih bi skoraj podvomil ali se še smemo imenovati krščanske.
Beseda duhovnost, ideali, vzvišeni cilji, čednosti, kr-ščanka načela niso več privlačna. Ljudje se nekam čudno nasmehnejo in te gledajo kot čudo iz onega sveta, če jim govoriš o duhovnih stvareh in o pomenu tega življenja za onostranost. Bolj in bolj se uveljavlja med ljudmi toliko obrabljeni izrek: Denar je sveta vladar. Tako izgle-da včasih, da ni na svetu nič drugega kakor denar, udobno življenje m sanje o večni mladosti. Nihče noče več biti star.
Ko prihajam na razne sestanke društev, je govor o kartni zabavi, o kegljanju, o plesu, o banketu a o duhovnosti zelo malo ali celo nič. Društva, ki imajo duhovnega vodjo, poslušajo njegovo duhovno misel in s tem se duhovnost začne in konča. Tak vtis imam včasih, da je beseda prav po svetopisemsko padla na skalo in umrla, ker
ni bilo vlage. Duhovnika velikokrat srce boli, ko vidi neplodnost njegovega prizadevanja za vzvišene ideale društev. Nič in nič. Društvo zato nima uspeha in ne napreduje. Duhovnika smatrajo za starokopitnega, za moža. ki ne razume časa, če jim govori o pomenu premagovanja, o pomenu žrtve, odpovedi, borbe za dobro stvar. Kako malo se ljudje zavedajo, da jih tako zadržanje vodi vstran od duhovnega, vstran od Boga. Posvetne zadeve so jim več kakor pa duhovna prenovitev in posvetitev. Tako gledanje na svet odvrača človeka od pripravljenosti za delo pri društvu in drugih skupnih zadevah.
Veliko ljudi me je že vprašalo, kdaj bo sveti oče odprl pismo v katerem je zapisana zadnja Marijina obljuba dana sestri Luciji v Fatimi. Menda pričakujejo novega razodetja. Kar bo, bo verjetno večja zahteva po pokori in žrtvah. Če ne, se bo zlo razlilo po celem svetu. Ljudje bi radi nove stvari in mir na svetu brez posebne žrtve. Naši predniki so polagali življenje zato, kar mi danes uživamo. Mi pa še s prstom ne mignemo, da bi se poleg materijal-nega napredka poznal tudi duhovni napredek. Ali hočemo, da se nam zgodi tako kot pravi prilika v svetem pismu: ko so ljudje spali je prišel sovražnik in zasejal ljuljke med pšenico. Čas je, da začnemo misliti o duhovni preobnovi. Kaj pomaga človeku, če ves svet pridobi, na duši pa škodo trpi. Še vedno velja: Iščite najprej božjega kraljestva in vse drugo se vam bo navrglo.
Proslava 25 letnice Slovenske Ženske Zveze
Denver, Colorado.
V	soboto, dne 14. maja, je društvo “Slovenska Ženska Zveza” obhajalo 25 letnico svojega obstoja z banketom, programom in plesom v Slovenskem Domu. Program, katerega je pripravil Rev. Leopold Mihelich, dušni pastir pri fari Svetega Rožnega venca in duhovni vodja društva S.Ž.Z., je žel velik uspeh. John Pavlakovich je vodil potek prireditve s svojo izredno gibčnostjo in uspehom. Na prireditev je tudi prišla številna delegacija, o-krog 50, iz Puebla, Colorado. Pueblo leži kakih 120 milj južno od Denverja.
Proslavo je otvorila ga. Mamie Kovač, predsednica denverske podružnice št. 63. Rev. John Canjar, župnik tare Svetega Rožnega Venca je pozdravil goste in opravil molitev. Med predstavljenimi častnimi gosti sta bile, predsednica Združenja Slovenske Ženske Zveze za Colorado, gospa Anna Pachak in ga Frances Raspet, ki je pred 25 leti ustanovila v Denverju to društvo. Zapadno Slovensko Zvezo je zastopal njen glavni predsednik g. Mike Popovich ter navduševal v izbranih besedah vse navzoče za slovensko stvar; prav tako tudi g. Anton Jeršin, kot glavni tajnik Z.S.Z.; iz Puebla pa je prinesel pozdrave in voščila g. John Butkovich, ki je dobro znan občinstvu radi njegove odlične slovenske radijske oddaje v Pueblu; g. Jože Pavlakovich pa je Izpregovoril v imenu društva Sv. Roka, ki je podružnica K.S.K.J.
Slavljencem so bile predstavljene odbornice Mamie Kovač. Mollie Svi-Sel, Frances Gerže, Cecilia Kreiling, Ellen Nortnik, Anna Mikan in Jose-Pliine Siegwarth.
Predstavljene so bile kot častni Sostje tudi ustanovne članice društva
in sicer:	Johanna	Zemljak,	Mary
Modic, Antonia Žgainer, Anna Virant, Agues Krasovich in Johanna Kraso-vich, ki je pred nekaj meseci bila Izbrana kot “Mati leta” od S.Ž.Z.
Dvestopetdeset ljudi se je udeležilo banketa, kar je zelo veliko za to številčno majhno podružnico. Jasno je, da na banketu ni manjkalo potice. Med kosilom so se oglašale melodije in pesmi iz lepe Slovenije potom zvočnega traka; za to sta skrbela ing. Tone Mavetich in Silvan Birsa. Oba sta na obisku tukaj iz Slovenije. Tone Mavetich študira elektrotehniko, Silvan pa je na obisku pri svoji teti in obenem obiskuje Ljudsko Univerzo, Izpopolnjujoč se v angleščini. Občudovanja vredno je, kako hitro sta se znašla v novih razmerah. Vse jima je šlo tako od rok, kakor da že dolgo bivata tukaj. Gostje so programu a zanimanjem in navdušenjem sledili. Izredno priznanje je žela družina doktorja Ivancie: trije otroci, mož in žena, vsi so bili v slovenskih narodnih nošah Doktorjeva žena je Irka po rodu, pa je predstavila malo skupino v lepi slovenščini; gospa doktorjeva obiskuje tečaj slovenskega jezika s svojim možem; tečaj vodi vsak pon-deljek zvečer Rev. Mihelich v šoli Svetega Rožnega Venca. Doktorjevim sta pri mizi delala družbo inženir Franc Kalan in njegova soproga. Inženir Kalan se je pred kratkim povzpel do glavnega inženirja v podjetju, četudi je novonaseljenec, njegov sin Dušan pa odlično študira na univerzi v Chi-vagu.
Lepe točke sta podali tudi solistinji iz Puebla: Loretta Thomson, 15, in Mary Therese Karlinger, 10. Obe nastopata pri slovenski radijski uri v Pueblo.
Grupa učenk domače farne šole in slovenske narodnosti je zapela nekaj slovenskih pasmi z “Zvezino himno”: Vrle smo Amerikanke iz slovenskega rodu — Proud Americans we cherish our Slovenian ancestry- Petje je spremljala na klavirju Miss Charlotte Padboy, naša organistinja.
Zaključni govor je imel duhovni vodja Rev. Mihelich, ki je poudarjal namen in delokrog Slovenske Ženske Zveze: delati za prospeh in razvoj slovenske kulture med našim narodom tukaj: v vsako slovensko hišo bi morala letos priti potom članic knjiga: “This is Slovenia”, da bi tudi mladi rod poznal in vzljubil našo lepo staro domovino. Po banketu in programu se je gostom pridružilo še kakih na-dalnjih 200 ljudi pri plesni veselici, kjer je igral orkester znanega Paula Wingardta. Lep večer bo še dolgo o-stal vsakemu v dragem spominu.

M. Urbas ji je pripela lep šopek In tako tudi naši podpreds.. L. Čebular, ki se je poslovila od nas za par mesecev in se podala v domovino. Voščile smo ji srečno pot in zdrav povratek. — Naše gostiteljice za maj so bile: M. Novak, ki je prinesla dvojne prav fine cookis, L. Čebular je prinesla jako dober cake, naša tajnica je pa prinesla orehove kifeljčke in moja malenkost sladko kapljico, s katero smo vse te dobrote splahnile. Prav dobro smo se imele, nato smo še malo zapele Happy Birthday in L. Čebular nam je pa podala svojo deklamacijo. Potem smo še malo pokrivale številke in se prav lepo pozabavale, tako da nismo niti vedele kdaj je večer minil.
Naša tajnica nam je ponudila knjižice za State Convention, ki se bo vršila 2. okt. v Delavskem domu, na Waterloo Rd. Vse članice so jih vzele po nekaj in obljubile, da jih bodo pridno prodajale, ker to 'bo v korist naši podr.; čim več jih bomo prodale, tem več procentov bo prišlo v našo blagajno. Torej drage članice, ako vam jih katera ponudi, prosim sežite po njih Vsaka članica bi naj vzela vsaj po eno knjižico.
Zadnji mesec smo zopet izgubile eno članico in sicer M. Sezum. Naj počiva v miru, preostalim pa naše sožalje. — Vsak mesev izgubimo po eno ali dve članici; naše vrste se redčijo, novih članic pa ne moremo pridobiti, da bi nadomestile izgubo. Mladina se premalo zanima.
Sedaj pa želim vsem tistim članicam, katere so se podale na obisk v domovino ali kamorkoli bodo šle na počitnice, veliko zabave in veselja ter srečen povratek. Vsem bolnim članicam pa želim, da bi jim ljubi Bog povrnil to ljubo zdravje.

Lepo so nam postregle naše mlade članice: Mary Hoppa in Angela Sterle, hči Mary in nevesta Angela Sterle; podpreds. Catherine Polack je tudi spekla lep cake; Margie Lenich je pa naredila prav okusne mesene zavitke; sestra Shukle, naša izvoljena mati, je naredila en velik cake. Vse vam čestitamo ses.

Tudi iz Chisholm sta prišli moja hči Mary in Frankijeva žena Virginia. Mlade članice so nam okrasile mizo z Materjo Božjo v sredini. Vsaka članica je prejela majhen spominček. Prisrčna vam hvala, dekleta!
Ses. Sterle je pa bila kakor mati med nami in skrbela, da je bilo vsega dovolj. Ses. Rebetz ji je pomagala. Članica Mary R. Lushine pa nam je prikazovala lepe slike posnete iz potovanja	po domovini, kjer je bila	na	o-
bisku	s svojim 80-letnim	očetom.	Z
lepimi besedami je vse pojasnila v slovenščini in angleščini. — V imenu vseh članic, prisrčna ti hvala, Mary.

Imamo več žalostnih kot veselih novic. Smrt nikdar ne miruje in tako ham je iztrgala iz naše srede kar dve članici: Sestro Sterbentz, katera je bila zvesta članica od 1928. Zapustila je žalujočega moža in 3 poročene sinove in več vnukov. Prizadetim izrekamo globoko sožalje, tebi draga ses. pa več mir božji. — Druga je pa ses. Mary Capon. Bila je več časa bolana.

Izrekamo globoko sožalje naši zapisnikarici ses. Rebetz nad izgubo ljubega sina Franka. Bil je več mesecev v bolnišnici. Umrl je ravno na veliko nedeljo, star komaj 50 let. Po poklicu je bil učitelj. Zapušča žalujočo ženo, 2 hčerki, vse so naše članice; žalujočo mater ses. Rose in brata Louis. Vsa zdravniška pomoč ni pomagala, da bi ostal pri življenju. Da je bil priljubljen med otroci, je pričal njegov pogreb, ker so bili skoraj vsi učenci navzoči pri pogrebu in se ločili od njegove krste z žalostjo v srcu.
Draga nas soses. Rebetz! Me vse sočustvujemo s teboj in s tvojimi sorodniki.. Tudi ti še nisi zdrava po prestani avtomobilski nesreči, in sedaj še ta velika Izguba in žalost Bodite vsi potolaženi.
Vimenu vseh članic izrekamo prizadetim globoko sožalje.

Prav vesele smo bile vse, ko se je zopet vrnila s. Josepina Wiess iz bolnišnice. Zelo dobro izgleda, kakor, da bi ji bil potrebni počitek koristil.
Vsem najlepše pozdrave in upam, da se bomo vse vesele in zdrave videle na sept. seji. Tiketci za konvencijo gredonaglo od rok. “Fletno je polet’, ko vid’mo rez’ cvetet...”

naši preds Mary Kragulski, ali pa pri meni. Ne čakajte na zadnji dan. Pridružite se v lepem številu, ker ne vemo, če bomo še lahko šle drugo leto. Mogoče bo to naša zadnja pot na romanje v Lemont.

Ker ne bo sej v juliju, avgustu in septembru, prosim, vse tiste, ki ste v zaostanku z assessmentom, da poravnate na mojem domu, ker jaz moram redno vsak mesec poslati assessment na glavni urad, če imamo sejo ali ne. Prosim upoštevajte to, ker s tem olajšate delo tajnici.

Angela Strukel, tajnica
Št. 26, Pittsburgh, Pa. — Moram se malo oglasiti v našo priljubljeno Zarjo, da ne boste mislile, da je pri nas vse zaspalo.
Zadnjič je naša nekdanja tajnica M. Coghe malo napisala. Seveda, vsak rajši bere, kakor pa piše. Imamo se kar dobro na naših sejah, udeležba je še kar povoljna, samo žal vedno ene in iste, ker mkide se dosti ne zanimajo.
Pri naši podr. smo imele kartno prireditev dne 17. maja. Udeležba je bila kar lepa in blagajna se je s tem tudi malo opomogla Najlepša hvala odboru za pomoč, in članicam za prinešena darila in udeležbo.
Kakor je bilo sklenjeno na glavni seji, nebomo imele sej v juliju in avgustu, zato vse tiste, ki dolgujete, ste prošene da, ako ne morete priti na seje, lahko oddaste vaš assessment eni od odbornic in ona bo že gledala, da se denar izroči tajnici; ali pa tudi lahko plačate tajnici na domu: Anna Frankovic, Keystone st. 5332 Pgh. (1), Pa. Tudi prosim članice, da bi se malo potrudile in vsaka vsaj eno novo članico pridobila v tej lepi predkonven-čni kampanji, da ne bomo na zadnjem mestu.

Št. 28, Calumet, Mich. — Pozdravljene uradnice in članice Zveze! Se moramo peči držati, ker zunaj je mrzlo ko to pišem, zato imam čas napisati par vrstic v Zarjo. Na vrtovih sejemo in sadimo, pa ne vem kako bo rastlo zaradi slabega vremena.
Na konvencijah ali ko zborujejo gl. uradnice bi bilo dobro, da odobrijo iz stroškovnega in šolninskega sklada pomoč naši nadarjeni mladini do višje
izobrazbe, ker v mnogih slučajih starši ne morejo šolati otrok, zaradi draginje na višjih šolah. Pa naj bo fant ali dekle, pomagajte jim! S' tem bomo pridobili mladino v organizacijo, če se fant izšola z našo pomočjo, bo gotovo pustil svojo bodočo ženo v našo organizacijo. Me stare se umikamo in treba bo, da mlade zavzamejo naša mesta, da bo lahko naša Zveza nadaljevala svoje delo. Naj za sedaj zadostuje, prihodnjič kaj več. Bog blagoslovi našo Zvezo! Vaša poročevalka, Mary Stefanich
Št. 32, Euclid, O. — Mesec junij je tu In ko to pišem je tako lepo zunaj (posebno v Euclid), da človek z radostjo in veseljem gleda cvetoče gartrože; žal da lepota tega sveta tako hitro mine.
Mnogo mladine bo graduiralo ta mesec Želimo vsem srečnega življenja. Erika Janež je šla 7. junija v Nemčijo obiskat svojo bolno mater. Josephine Janežič pa je šla 29. jun. v domovino na obisk. Vsem izletnicam želimo srečnega povratka.
Sožalje sosestram, Antonia Nemec in Angeli Konte nad izgubo sestre Elisabeth Novak, ki je umrla 4. jun-Naj v miru počiva!
Vsem članicam želimo, da bi kar najlepše preživele poletni čas, vsem bolnim pa daj Bog ljubega zdravja.
Na svidenje na seji v septembru!

Pred leti, ko še ni bilo Slov. Doma, je bil njegov dom shajališče Slovencev, kjer so se ustanavljala razna društva. Marsikomu sta priskočila na pomoč v času depresije, ko je vodil trgovino z jedili.
Mrs. Katarina Železnik je bila ustanoviteljica naše podr. št. 53 leta 1928. Od takrat, je še vedno podpredsednica in je vpisala največ članic v podr. Železnikovi so člani raznih društev.
V	družini imajo eno hči Alice, ki je dobro poznana, in 4 sinove: Tony, Frank, Joe in Dick. Vsi so poročeni. Poleg tega imajo 15 vnukov.
Za ta vesel dogodek so otroci s svojimi družinami pripravili pravo svatbo v krogu sorodnikov, prijateljev in znancev od vsepovsod; najdaljšo pot je naredil brat g. Antona Železnika iz Podlipe pri Vrhniki, Slovenija. Mrs. Ivana Oblak, sestrična Katarine je prišla iz Canade; Mr. John Železnik iz Texas, (bratranec); Mr. in Mrs. Tony Železnik, Waukegan, 111.; hči Jennie iz Waukegan; John Senkar iz

Ne bom posebej imenovala vseh, ki so stregle na banketu in darovale pecivo, ker jih je preveč. Vsem najlepša hvala. — Sestra Julia Lipnos je zopet prodala največ vstopnic za 30 letnico, kot je naredila pred 5 leti za 25-letnico. V imenu uradnice in članic, najlepša hvala Julia.
Želim se zahvaliti za lepo čestitko, poslano ob 30-letnicl Mrs. Marie Prls-land, častni predsednici in ustanoviteljici S ŽŽ.Z.

Slovenci imamo navado, da brez petja ne gre, zato smo jo kar po domače žingali. Pogrešali smo našega pevovodjo Antona Schubelja, ki je bil ravno zaposlen s koncertom Slovana.
Bog živi naša vrla slavljenca še mnogo, mnogo let!

Vselej kadar Imamo kaj veselega za poročati, skoraj nikdar ne izostane, da ne bi imeli tudi kaj žalostnih novic. 4. maja smo izgubili eno dobro članico Mrs Agnes Lesnak. Bila je bolj rahlega zdravja. Toda je rada opravljala svoja hišna dela, kakor tudi na vrtu. Resno je zbolela zadnje tri tedne. Zdravnik ji je naročil, da mora v bolnico, ali Mrs. Lesnak je odklonila, ker ni hotela pustit moža samega doma.

Ker je večina naših članic pri tem društvu, je tudi par pionirk, med njimi je Mrs. Mary Konchan, mati od Marion Sod-nikar, ki vodita gostilno z možem 4181 Superior.

Muzikant je bil pokojni Mr. P-Korenchan, mož naše častne članice Mrs. Uršula Korenchan ln oče naše članice Mrs. Pauline Hunter. Leta 1930 je Mr. Železnik razpeljaval gr°' eery In vse na knjižice, kajti nobeden ni mogel plačati. Oni so nas zakladalj z živežem, da naši otroci niso bili lačni.

Mary Tomšič, Preds.
Št. 77, Pittsburgh, Pa. — Prišla je zopet poletna doba. Z veseljem smo pričakovali toplih dni, da se bomo lahko na soncu greli. Seveda ko je zopet prevroče nam tudi ni po volji. Radi si poiščemo prijetne sence. Ta prilika se nam nudi 28. julija zadnji četrtek v mesecu, ko bomo imeli naš letni piknik na North Park, takozvani Cherry Grove. Prostor vam je vsem poznan, zato naj ne bo nobenega izgovora. Vabljene ste prav vse članice in pripeljite tudi svoje soproge. Obeta se nam veliko zabave. Bo vse kot prejšnja leta: jestvine proste za članice in tudi pijače bodo preskrbljene.
Pikniki nam nudijo nekoliko razvedrila in priliko, da ohranimo naše šege In navade. Ni lepšega kakor vesela družba. Upajmo, da nam vreme ne bo nagajalo. Naj sonce sije ali naj dežuje, pridite vse, ker zavedajte se, da bo vse pripravljeno že en dan prej, da ne bi bili stroški zaman. Da ni da-hes več prijetno prirejati piknikov je že vsem znano, ker so povezani z veliki stroški in draginjo. Še bolj pa zaradi tega, ker vremenoslovci ne znajo za gotovo povedati naprej kakšno bo vreme. To je velika pokora za tiste, ki prevzamejo odgovornost za priprave.
Bi vas vse prosila, da bolj pridno prihajate na seje in poravnate svoje obveznosti. Iz glavnega urada nas prosijo, da bi pridobile kaj novih članic. Nagrade so mične!
Hvala za tako lepo udeležbo na zad-hji obletnici. Blagajna se je kar lepo Pozdravila za en čas.
Imamo več bolnih članic. Bog dal, da bi se jim vsem zdravje povrnilo.
Minka Chrnart, tajnica

ALBINA NOVAK, Secretary
Ana Cerar je bila izvoljena za častno mater.
Sedaj so se pa začele počitnice in gremo večinoma na deželo. Krasni so vrtovi z raznovrstnimi cvetljicami.
Naša članica Ana Kepic se nahaja s svojini možem v Hollywood, Calif. Umrla ji je sestra in je šla na pogreb. Ker se ji pa tam zelo dopade, sta z možem kar tam ostala.
Fany Kobilca in mož pa sta šla v Jugoslavijo 20. junija. Srečno rajžo! Tako gre še par drugih.
25.	maja sem dobila žalostno novico iz Jugoslavije, da mi je umrla sestra, Antolija Košak. Bila je redovnica mi-losrdnic družbe sv. Vinca Pavlskega. Umrla je 18. maja v Zagrebu, stara 79 let. Bila je 59 let v redu. Doma je bila iz Jarš pri Domžalah, fara Mengeš. Večinoma je delala na Hrvaškem v bolnicah. Prde 10 leti pa si je pokvarila križ pri prenašanju bolnikov in tedaj trpela večinoma na stolu in v postelji. Več Slovencev jo je obiskalo po moji prošnji, ko so šli tja.
t č. s. Antonija Košak
V	Zagrebu je še vedno okoli 600 sester. Je to velik samostan; bila je tudi velika šola in če se ne motim še edini samostan za sestre v Jugoslaviji, ko sem jaz odhajala v Ameriko komaj štiri leta stara. Pred štirimi leti sva z možem Frankom obiskala sestro v Zagrebu. Kako smo bili veseli snidenja; obenem je bilo žalostno za naju pri pogledu na sestro, ki je s pomočjo stola še lahko malo hodila. Pogreb je bil 20. maja iz samostana, katerega se je udeležilo več kot 60 sester in nekaj žlahte iz Jarš.Pokopališče je eno uro ven iz Zagreba, tako so morali najeti avte in dva busa. Uboga sestra je bila lepo spremljana na svoji zadnji poti k božjemu plačilu. Saj si je zaslužila po tolikem trpljenju. Ljubi Bog ji bodi dober plačnik! Zapušča mene in sestre Ano in Jenie ter brata Miha; zelo veliko sorodnikov tukaj in v Jugoslaviji.
Pozdrav,	Angela	Voje
Št. 88, Johnstown, Pa. — Drage članice S.Ž.Z.! Sporočam, da smo imele takozvano pokrito rihto v prid naše podružnice, ki se je precej obnesla v prid ročne blagajne. Članice so se Udeležile v lepem številu. Enako je
bila velika udeležba pri skupnem sv. obhajilu na materinski dan, kar je zelo lepo za našo podr. in za krščanske matere.
In še nekaj cenjene članice. Kakor ste brale v Zarji, se je s prvini majem začela kampanja za nove članice, katera bo trajala do decembra t. 1. Prav bi bilo, da bi se sedaj ko imate priložnost potrudile in pridobile vsaka vsaj eno novo članico, da bi se naša podružnica malo povečala.
Izgubile smo članico Mrs. Gertrude Debevc 389 Linen St., ki je bila dobra in zvesta članica že od začetka 1938. Bila seni večkrat pri njej, a najbolj ie bila žalostna, ker ni mogla v cerkev. Njen dobri sin ji je dal radio, da Je lahko vsaj iioslušala sv. mašo in Pr*' dlgo. Bog ji daj večni mir in pokoj W večna luč naj ji sveti. Vsem ostalin1 izraža naša podr. globoko sožalje.
Pozdrav celi S.Ž.Z.

38 teams were entered and 96 doubles competed, Chicago was tops with 13 teams in the tourney, Joliet second with 11 teams.
Continued from p. 148 tainers they kept Joliet guys buzzing around like crazy. Bill O’Keefe of Ottawa took the whole show — he was elected as the Major domo and mascot of the classic. He had money at more places at the long bar than any captive in existance. Of course Joliet had the most tables in the dancing hall the most notorious was Tillie Sorg’s table twenty crowded around celebrating her winning the singles crown. She was joined by the happy Horvath Bakeries who won the team events the next day.
Besides the august presence of the Supreme officers: Josephine Livek, supreme president; Josephine Železnikar, supreme treasurer; Corrine Leskovar, Editor of Dawn there were also the gracious state presidents: Mary Muller of Illinois and Rose Kraemer of Milwaukee. We were all so happy in having as one of our special guests the K S K J Supreme Officer, Mary Petrich who has been acclaimed as the foremost fraternalist in the State of Wisconsin, Congratulations !
The championship of the team events was rolled on the 10:30 squad by some who we doubt went home from the celebration the previous night — It was the mighty Horvath Bakery — they lost the Joliet S W U league championship — and all their tears turned to those of joy in winning the coveted Mid West S.W.U. Championship.
Congratulations are in order to the Chicago S.W.U' which came came in with 13 teams — beating our local entry of 11. Next year’s tournament will be held in Milwaukee and according to the reports rendered by Rose Kraemer, State President and Marie Floryan — the greatest preparations will be made to handle the event in a most similar fashion as Joliet did — and even better in some respect. Thanks, we’ll be there.
Looking again thru the registrations we find those grea*. scribes of the K S K J’ “Our Page”, Anne Wisniewski and Rose Shubert. Congratulations Ann and Rose! We follow you
—	hope to see you In the S.W.U. “Dawn” one of these days. Prominent among the guests was that great Chicago oil man, John Železnikar. Jo Michalak of La Salle couldn’t get a song going no how.
The West Allis-Milwaukee caravan made a most impressive sight all dolled up in their carnations attending 9 O’clock Holy Mass In our St. Joseph’s Church. It was most significantly symbolic of what the S.W.U. stands for and above all of it’s mundane attainments. Congratulations ladies you were most inspiring.
There are so many other incidents and episodes that could be added to this report and we of Joliet are most grateful for It was you visitors joined with us that our 24th Annual S.W.U. Tournament was such a stupendous success.	Josephine	Sumic
