U ^ Kcanat pridržani Unija CIO bo zahtevala zvišanje place Poskus za končanje mornarske stavke New York, 10. sept.—Upanje, da se bodo mornarji zadovoljili, če bo federalni odbor za stabilizacijo mezd preklical ali revidiral svoj odlok, je šlo po vodi. Joseph Curran, predsednik mornarske unije CIO, je naznanil, da bo tudi njegova organizacija zahtevala isto zvišanje plače kot člani unije ADF. Naznanilo je značilno, ker je >ilo objavljeno na predvečer se-e odbora za stab'lizacijo mezd v Washingtonu. Unija ADF je oklicala stavko v znak protesta 3roti odloku tega odbora, ker ni lotel sankcionirati zvišanja plače v smislu pogodbe, katero je unija sklenila s parobrodnimi kompanijami. Čez tri tisoč potniških in tovornih parnikov je obtičalo v ukah zaradi stavke mornarjev. V Washingtonu so bili storjeni koraki za izravnavo konflikta med unijo ADF in odborom za stabilizacijo mezd. John Steelman, direktor odbora za preureditev industrij, John e. Collet in J. L. Miller, njegova pomočnika, so se sestali v Beli hiši z delavskim tajnikom Schwellenbachom in admiralom W. C. Smithom, načelnikom federalne pomorske komisije, in razpravljali o rešitvi konflikta. Predsednik Truman se ni udele-ttt sestanka. Člani odbora za stabilizacijo mezd so naznanili, da bodo danes odprli zaslišani«, čeprav ne bo unija ADF podala reprezen-tanta. Harry Ludenberg, tajnik mornarske unije ADF, in John Hawkins, podpredsednik, sta izjavila v San Franciscu, da se ne bosta udeležila zaslišanja. Stavka voznikov tovornih avtov v New Yorku se nadaljuj«. Stavkarji so člani unije ADF. V konflikt med unijo in kompanijami je posegel župan O'Dwyer z namenom, da ga izravna. V stavki je zavojevanih čez 28,000 voznikov. Unija zahteva zvišanje plače za 30 odstotkov, kom-panije pa so obljubile zvišanje za tri dolarje na t«den. Odmevi iz jubilejne kampanje ProJte Dosedanji rezultat: 818 novih **ro£nikov V naši jubilejni kampanji se počasi, toda sigurno bližamo tisoču novih naročnikov Prosvete. Zadnji pondeljek j« naš barometer pokazal 818 novih naročnikov:—83 več kot predzadnjo sredo. Okrog 700 je celoletnih, ostali pa so polletni. Pretežni del agitacijskega dela so v zadnjih dvfh tednih napravili naši trije najbolj agilni agitatorji, ki zaslužijo kolajno. Tisti člani, ki zasledujete to našo kampanjo skozi ta poročila, ste lahko že uganili, kdo so. Toda da si ne bo nihče belil glave, naj takoj povemo, da niso nihče drugi kot "večni popotnik1* Tone Jankovich iz Clevelanda, ki je v zadnjih par tednih dobil nadaljnjih 28 novih naročnikov, Lojze Klemenčič v Torontu, Kanada, ^ci jih je zopet poslal 16, in naš France Udovich iz Chicaga, ki jih je zopet nalovil devet. Ta trojica "old timerjev" je v zadnjih dveh tednih dobila 53 novih naročnikov, vsi ostali agitatorji—ali če hočete; vsi ostali člani pa 30. Živela torej ta naša agilna trojica! Če bi imili vsaj par ducatov takih agitatorjev, tedaj bi naš kampanjski barometer kazal najmanj dva, tri tisoč novih naročnikov. Ampak tukaj imamo opravka s tisto nesrečno besedo: "če". Če bi "če" ne bilo, bi bilo lahko marsikaj drugače na svetu—vse lepše, kakor je, kajti Blabše s splošnega vidika skoraj sploh ne more biti. To /lamreč, ako pomislite na milijone in milijone Btradajočih ljudi, na gospodarski kaos, na politično in diplomatično trenje med—"zmagovalci" in na goro krivic, ki se gode po svetu. Toda nazaj h kajmpanji! O ostalih agitatorjih nimamo podatkov iz razloga, ker je upravnikov« knjigovodka na počitnicah. Omenimo jih prihodnjič. Toda razen omenjenih treh, je bila kampanja po drugih ftaselbinah sad* nje tedne več ali manj v zastoju. Upamo, da s* v preostalih šestih tednih topet poživi. To je v resnici tudi potrebno za dosego našega kamp&njskega cilja: TISOČ NOVIH naročnikov. Apeliramo torej na vse ostale člane in društven^ uradnike, katerim je Prosveta pri srcu, da s« v zaključnih t«ahth podajo na agitacijo za nove naročnike. Pri marsikakšnejn društvu j« ša marsikak član, ki bi se n«ročil na dnevnik, ako bi 0s kdo potrudil in ga pridobil. Vsakdo se seveda lahko tudi sam naroČi. In ker v mnogih naselbinah, pri mnogih društvih nihČ« pe agitira za Pro-sveto, apeliramo na one člane, ki še nimajo dnevnika, d« se naroča, bodisi sami ali skozi društvenega tajnika.

Vzrok za to je \tbi obmeven. Za financiranje vojne, oz. zbiro potrebnih fondov. Flada pozivala k nakupu vojnih bondov samo posameznike, marveč tL: vft finančne institucije. Vse bratske organizacije, banke in zavn-ninske kompanije so sledile enaki poti. Več kot polovico premo-vseh zavarovalninskib družb, bratskih in komercijalnih, je investi , v obligacijah federalne vlade. I Druga največja vsota v znesku $7^2,837 je bila investirana v municipal-bonde. Da je bila investirana tako mala vsota rs te vrste zadolžnice, vzrok »dve poglavitni točki. Prva, ker so bile radi vojnih razmer pendirene rkoro vse municipalne izboljšave. Drugi, še bolj važni ok pa je, ker bratske podporne organizacije niao podvržene federalne-i dohodninskemu davku. Tretja najvišja vsota v znesku $151,000 je pa bila investirana v tako, i "public utility" sli javnenapravnp bonde. V tem smo "bili zelo^ da smo kupovali sanr.o prvovrstne bonde, izdane od takih firm z dom uspešnih in profltnih operacij in nizkimi korporacijskimi obrtmi. . % Četrta najvišja vsota $73,433 je bila investirana v FHA mortgage na vknjižbe. V prejšnjih štirih letih smo naložili v te vrste investicije rat toliko, ali $742,000. Ko smo začeli investirati v FHA zemeljske be, smo lahko dobivali obresti po 4 do 4 Vi%. Radi kompeticije je ta liberalna mera počasi znižana in investicije z dobrimi dohodki je zelo težko dobi. JVU najvišja vsota ali $70,000 je bila investirana v federalne hranilne i posojilne certifikate. Tudi tu se ponavlja ista stvar. Od začetka smo uvali po 4% obresti, sedaj pa re moramo zadovoljiti s 3%, včasih pa i*Stt%. . K . ' PRODAJA ZADOLŽNIC Smernica našega odbora je še vedno bila, da smo se vzdržavali špeku-pikc prodaje ali zamenjave zadolžnic. Resnica je, da je bila prodaja ka, toda ne v smislu špekulacije. Večina prodaj jo bila afektirana z urenom kvalitetne izboljšave našega portfolia, druge pa iz listnice za Die klasificiranih za takozvane "non-admitted assets." ilitetna izboljšava našega portfolia je rezultat te zmerne znižava zaje v konkurzu (default).

Vse to kaže kako vplivajo socialne razmere na vse javno življenje in tako seveda tudi na poslovanje bratskih podpornih organizacij. Vzroki za zmanjšanje števila pritožb in obtožb so seveda še drugi. Nj. primer jasna in določna pravila ter točno in precizno poslovanje v glavnem uradu. Na podlagi izkušenj iz preteklih let smo izboljšali pravila, ki ao članstvu laije razumljiva in bolj prikladna ca jednsšlno poslovanje m bolj jasno je, kdaj in do koliko raznih podpor ja član upiavičen. To poročilo o našem delu se nanaša za dobo od zadnje kunvencije leta 1941, pa do konca meseca junija 1946. V tem ča|u je bilo predloženih gl. porotnemu odseku 34 zadev. Od teh ce je 23 sadav tikalo raznih podpor, 11 raznih drugih sporov, obtožb in pfitožb. Izmed 23 gade v tikajočlh se raznih podpor, smo podporo deloma ali pa v celoti odobrili v 9 slučajih in v treh je bila odklonjena. V vseh ostalih zahtevah za razne podpore se Je pa s pojasnilom prizadetim članom in med dopisovanjem s glavnim uradom doseglo sporazume, tako da ni bilo nadaljnih prltoib in da nI bilo potrebno o teh zadevah sklepati celokupnemu gl. pofotaemu odseku, V drugih obtožbah in pritožbah so bili obtoženi člani spoznani krivim in kaznovani z ukorom v treh tlučajih, v enem pa a pogojnim laključa-njem. V ostalih slučajih so bili obtoženci oproščeni. Tri zadeve so bile zaradi zastarelosti in nejasnost! odklonjene. Proti razsodbi gl. porotnega odseks to bili ulo^eni samo štirje prisKi na celokupni glavni odbor. Gl. odbor je v enem prisivu deloma in v treh pa v celoti potrdil razsodbe gl. porotnega odeeka. V mnogih slučajih smo skušali zai'evo najprvo rešiti mirnim potom in v sporazumu s prizadetimi Člani in gl. uradom. V številnih zadevah se je to poarečilo in smo tftco ohranili med prizadetimi člani dobro voljo za nadaljno delo v kori3t jednote. Omenimo naj še, da ce množijo pritožbe na gl. porotni odsek od strani starih članov, ki žele več poncoČi iz sklada izrednih podpor, pa ne dob«.-toliko kot mislijo, da so upravičeni. Ker jim je v mnogih slučajih ta podpor* v znatno pomoč na stara leta, žele da bi bil to za nje nekak redni pokojninski sklad, četudi v še tako skromni obliki, kar pa seveda na podlagi prispevkov in stanja tega sklada ni mogoče. , Kakih posebnih priporočil za spremembo poslovanja v gl. porotnem odseku nimamo. ANTON SHUL6R, predsednik FRANK VRATAR1CH, FRANK BARBIČ, ANDREW VIDRICH, JOSEPHINE MOČNIK, porotniki. Poroitlo nadzornega odeeka O finančnem napredku SNPJ v zadnjih petih letih so podatki v poročilih gl. tajnika in blagajnika. Zavarovalnineki oddelek je solventen in napreduje, tiskarna, 'ki se je jednoti dobro izplačala, je imela ob zaključku leta 1945 $75.293.05 imovine in imetek Prosvete pa je gnaŠal $56,311.96. Torej nam to najboljše agitacijsko sredstvo (Prosveta) tudi finančno dobro uspeva. Naš odsek je predložil vsakega pol leta gl. odtaru poročilo o pregledovanju računov i statističnimi primerjavami, o poslovanju raznih oddelkov, o stanju bondov in o drugih stvareh, ki spadajo v^naše področje. Ta po rodila so objavljena v zapisniku v glasilu in so torej (člfnstvu znana. Izvršni in drugi odborniki so nsm šli pri našem delu vedno na roko In nam bili na razpolage s pojasnili o vseh zadevah, ki so bile pred nami, Skupna Imovina SNPJ Ob zaključku leta 1945 je znašala imovina vseh oddelkov SNPJ $11,-991,672.62, v času prejšnje konvencije pred petimi leti pa $8,718,999.20. Napredovali smo torej v tej dobi v vseh skladih $3,272,673.42. Obi zaključku leta 1945 smo Imeli od naše skupne Imovine $8,107,298.36 v vladnih bondih (U.S. Government bonds), all 66.99 Mstotkov od naše skupjje imovine. V municipalnih in državnih bondih je bilo investiranega $2,713,232.63 ali 22.29%. Skupno smo torej imeli v obojih teh bondih 08.88% naše skupne imovine. T? » V Public Utilities bondih. v FHA, Real Estate First Mortgage Loans, v raznih drugih vložbah na prve vknjižbe (other Real Estate First Mortgage Loans) in v vložbah v hranilnih in posojilnih društvjj^Jc bilo 7.69% od naše skupne Imovine, ostalih 3.43% pa se nanaša na r«*n« manjše postavke. V letih depresije je mnogo bondov defaultlralo. O njih smo-v naših poročilih navedli točne podatke vsakega pol leta, enfko tudi izgube, ki smo jih i radi 8 temi bondi. Dne 31. dee. 1945 smo imeli samo še za $16,650 defoultiranih bondov (vsi co Public Utilities bonds). V letih depresije smo imeli ra nad milijon dolarjev bondov, ki so defauttttali. Nepriznana imovina (Non Ledger Assets) zapopadena v bondih bsnkro tiranih korporacij je 31. decembra 1945 znašala $65,841.33, Varnost naših investicij je sedaj izborna tudi če bi nastala nova depre sija, toda obrestna mera vladnih, municipalnih in drugih varnih bondov pa je bila v minulih letih salo znižana. Pregledovanje računov ( Nadzorni odsek si v pomoč pri pregledovanju računov gajema poklicne računske veščake (Certified Public Accountants), kl lzvrše to d?lo vsakega pol leta. Ob enem preštejejo vselej tudi bonde in pregledajo dokumente na prve vknjižbe ter druge listine, ki ce nanašajo na investicije, Ob zaključku vsakega pol leta nam podajo separatna poročila o stanju In ra čunlh zavvovalnlnskega oddelka, publikacij, tiskarne in sklada mladolet nih dedičev, ki obsegajo 80 .tipkanih strani. Začno z računi nam podajo razne opombe In priporočila. Poslovanje v Vseh oddelkih jednote je vzorno in računi v redu. Poroštva Vsi izvršni In drugi odborniki, ki imajo opravka s financami in gospodarstvom, so pod poroštvom. Vse njihne zavarovalninikč police so v redu. Tašbe in obtošbe Pred leti je bilo proti SNPJ mnogo tožb vsled odklonjenih bolniških podpor in za odškodnina. Jednota je imela i njimi visoka prsvne stroška in odborniki pa § takimi zadevami veliko izrednega dela in gptov. Posled> nja lets se je Število toib zelo zmanjšalo in včasi sploh nimamo nobene Ta Sprememba je nastala vsled ispopolnjevsnja pravil, s vzgojno kampa-njo v glasilu ln z boljšo paznostjo v društvih. Ob enem se merodajni odborniki trudijo izravnati vse nastsle spore v mejah jednota. Nadzornemu odseku je bil po prejšnji konvenciji obtožen vsled kršitve pravil en glavni odbornik (tedanji vrhovni rdravnik dr. Frank Areh). Nadzorni odbor je zadevo prelskal in svoje poročilo o nji podal glavnemu odboru. Sklep gl. odbora o tej obtožbi je v zapisniku in bil je objavljen v glasilu. Dr. Arch t njim ni bil zadovoljen in je vložil tožbo. Zadeva na sodišču ni še rešena. Kakih drugih važnih pritožb ali obtožb v tej dobi nismo imeli. Prejeli smo sicer nekaj pritotb, ki ali niso spadale v področje našega odseka, kolikor ps jih je, smo Jih sa vse prizadeta zadovoljivo rešili. V času ostrih polemik v glasilu nastajajo pritožbe vsled odklonjenih dopisov, ki spadajo pred izvršni odaek. Of odbor ia svoječasno sklenil, da naj na svojih revizijah tudi nadzorni odbor peddda vse odklonjene dopise in o svojih ugotovi na h poroča na seji. Doseda) nismo videli ša nobenega nepi iobčenega dopisa, ki bi bil po krivem zadržan in gl. odboru smo poročali, da je gl. urednik postopal pravilno, ker jih je odklonil. Poverjenik™ JRZ Vsako leto pregledamo tudi računa ln imovino JRZ. kl )e pod upravo treh odbornikov SNPJ in treh odbornikov JBZ Računi so v redu. SANSu je Mlo Iz blagajne JRZ prispevano $8,000 in določeno je. da w iz nje izroči $1,0061 v sklad ca otroško bolnico v Sloveniji kl ga zbira SANS O izidu raznih kampanj za pridobivanje novih članov mi vedno poročali Izvršni odborniki v glaailu in na sejah. Nadzorni od»< k pa je v svojih poročilih navedel izdatke t njimi. Člani in odborfiiki so v teh agitacijah sa napredek SNPJ Izvršili veliko dela in vse so bile več ali manj urpešne. Ker ima SNPJ še vse pogoja ra uspevsnje,' se nadejamo, da bo I v bodoče napredovsla kakor vsa lata od svojega začetka. • Frank Zolts. predsednik nadzornega odseka; Andrew Oram. John Olip.

Prošnje za Sko^nlne—169 pregledanih, 145 potrjenih, 5 Izročenih, da odloči Izvršni odsek in 19 odklonjenih. Nadalje sem pregledal pet prošenj od veteranov za izredno podporo, katere so bile vse potrjene. , Da so bila bdlniške, opeiactjske in odškodninske podpore pravično razdeljene, aem se med časom svojega poslovanja večkrat posvetoval s člani glavnega izvršnega odseka, gl. tajnikom ln tajnikom bolniškega oddelka. V pogovorih t mnogimi člani glavnega odbora v zadnjih letih, sem večkrat slišal pritožbe, da so prošnje sa zdravniško preiskavo ln bolniško podporo preveč dolga in zavlačevalna stvar. Čeprav je to lahko resnično, jas mislim, iz zdravniškega stališča, da Je potrebno dobiti čimveč podat-kov is ratloga, da smo v preteklosti pronašil nekatere važne faktorje, kl bi nikoli ne prišli na dan, ako bi uporabljali krajše forme. Seveda to pomeni več dela sa zdravnika, in priporočal bi v tem amialu, da bi bila odškodnina za pregled vsakega odraslega $3 00 ln $2 00 za mladino. Taka odškodnina bi se povoljno primerjala onim, kl Jih dovolijo večje zavaro* valninske drušbe. Sklad bolniških podpor se je znatno opomogel v preteklih štirih letih. Medicinske Iznajdbe so m v zadnjih letih rapidno pomnožile, kot naprimer sulfa, penicillin, streptocym, atomični iarki in še mnogo drugih, ki ustavijo bolezen in pospešijo zdravljenje. ll mojega vidika kot zdravnik, sem pripravil nekaj priporočil sa spremembo 83. in 85. točke pravil. Ako Je finančno stanje odškodninskega sklada ugodno za povišek, bi ga jas priporočal. Kirurgične metode so tudi napredovale in operacije se bodo vršile po novih kirurgičnih teh'ni-kah. Ravno tako se pričakuje nove Iznajdbi*, izvirajoče is atomične energije. Leta 1945 je glavni odbor odobril resolucijo za posebno podporo vete> ranom. Moje priporočilo k temu je, du se ta resolucija Inkorpurira v pravila. Iz mojih izkušenj kot jednotin zdravnik v zadnjih 17, letih, se mi sdi bolj praktično, ako bi bil jednotin sdravnik nastavljen po gl. odboru, mesto izvoljen od konvencije. To pa iz tega razloga, ker menim, da glavni odbor lažje oceni zdravnika, in ako ni odbor zadovoljen s njegovim delom, ga lahko tudi odstavi. Ravno tako se mi vidi nepotrebno, da mora biti pte zahvalim čla nom glavnega odbora Za nfih kooperacijo In priznanje /a moje delo Od I septembra 1942 do konca de/embra 1949 sam pregledal 9,4« prošenj za pristop v odraali oddelek, od katerih je bilo potrjenih, 93 pa odklonjenih; nadalje 299 prošenj za |/ov tlanje zavarovalnine, od katerih k> Mlo >41 sprejetji* ki I« odklonjenih 44« proSenj veteranov za i" -)enai m I odklonjena Pregledal sem MM prošenj ta i fltfftfl od katerih je btio 3,111 potrjenih. 171 odločitvi Kampanja za otroško bolnišnico v Sloveniji sa bliža svojemu zaključku.

Naslov no vta. kar Ima stik s llsteost PROSVETA 2657 59 So. Lowndale Ave.. Chicago 2?. Illinois T Glasovi iz naših naselbid Še nekaj konvenčnih vtisov Največji revež, v resnici pravi trpin je na naših konvencijah konvenčni predsednik. S cer je predsedovanje naporno in utrudljivo delo na vsaki večji konvenciji vsake demokratične organizacije, toda na naših konvencijah .je to še posebno resnica, kajti imamo svoje vrste "parlamentarni red," ki čestokrat sam na sebi povzroča konfuzije in lahko tudi burne prizore. Ta naš "parlamentarni red" je na primer zelo malo v sorodu z Robertovimi ali s Cushingovimi parlamentarnimi pravili ("Robert's Rules of Order" in "Cushing's Manual"). Ta naš 44parlamentarni red" lahko odgovarja našim navadnim sejam, je pa zelo slab "red" za naše konvencije, in to posebno zdaj, ko štejejo okrog 300 članov ali še več. Vaš urednik se je na zadnji konvenciji večkrat čudil, kako smo jo izvolili iz kakšne prav zamotane situacije, v katero je nas zapeljal naš "parlamentarrii red". Občudoval je tudi konvenčne-ga predsednika, ki je s tako potrpežljivostjo vodil zborovanje in bil večkrat prisiljen zateči se h "common sensu", kar je sicer vedno zdrav recept povsod. Toda na večji konvenciji je poleg tega potreben tu^i zdrav parlamentarni red. Čudil se je njegovi hladnokrvnosti, s katero je obvladoval samega sebe in tako tudi konvencijo, čeprav večkrat z veliko težavo. Veste, predsedovati konvenciji, ki šteje več sto članov in kjer si marsikdo lasti prav'co do besede tudi takrat, ko nI upravičen do nje, ali pa je po vsakih parlamentarnih pravilih z dnevnega reda, ni noben špas. Ako mu predsednik ne more dati besede, ali* pa m0 jo iz upravičenega razloga hoče vzeti, se lahko dogodi, da naatane ogenj v strehi. In takrat je predsednik res revež! —največji diktator in podobno . . . (Tudi na zadnji konvenciji je prišlo do take scene, kar pa je predsednik odklonil s podano, toda ne sprejeto resignacijo in s tem delegacijo prisilil, da ni z njim delala ks pastirjem.—Te besede nam bo mogoče kdo itel v zlo, toda mi verujemo v samokritiko, z namenom seveda, da odpravimo napake! Zato sploh pišemo ta članek, ne pa samo zaradi besed, ali ker moramo napolniti ta prostor.) +M * Po konvenciji, sploh že tudi med konvencijo so se v možganih vašega urednika porodile te-le pregrešne misli: 1), da bi ae jednoti zelo izplavalo, ako bi takoj po izvolitvi, vsaj pa mesec dni pred konvencijo vsakemu delegatu—pa tudi glavnemu odborniku!—poslala zvezek "Robert's Rules of Order" (ali pa "Cushing's Manual", ako bi si tega osvojili) z naročilom, naj ga sigurno prečita in preštudira; 2), da bi bila v točki o kvalifikacijah dekgata tudi določba, ki bi poudarjala potrebo vsaj osnovnega znanja Robertovega ali Cush ngovega parlamentarnega reda (Jednota bi seveda morala preskrbeti prevod v slovenščini to bi bili sploh morali že zdavnaj storiti!) Če bi to storili n prisilili sami sebe do učenja tega potrebnega znanja—potrebnega namreč za vsakega delegata in glavnega odbornika—bi lahko konvencijo skrajšali vsaj za en dan, kajti zborovanje bi šlo bolj gladko in hitreje naprej, brez da bi komu kratili pravico do besede. S tem bi se lahko vsaj do neke meje iznebili tiste "konfuzije", katero Je čikaški France Vidmar kronal i»a prejšnjih konvencijah. * ' s To vprašanje je resnejše kol pa bo morda mislil marsikak član ali članica. Sprijazniti se moramo namreč s približno-enako velikimi konvencijami kot sta bili zadnji dve—okrog 300 članov. Kot urno omenili v začetku, skoraj ni bolj napornega in utrudljivega dela kot je vodstvo take konvencije, ki se drži "parlamentarnega reda" naših društvenih sej, majhnih zborovanj, kjer se lahko vse bolj po domače opravi in kjer ni bistvene razlike, ako neja traja eno ali pa pet ur. kakor tudi ne, ako je predsednik bolj ali manj spreten in kjer lahko vsakdo predseduje, ki ima količkaj .smisla za vodstvo seje. Predsedovanje okrog 300 "mandelcom" (oba spola), ki so večinoma več ali manj agresivni in m' tudi radi oglašajo za besedo, je pa nekaj drugega! Ako konvencijn nI vezana po več ali manj strogem redu in ako ni jNKi vodstvom spretnega, zmotnega In hladnokrvnega predsednika. ki *e zna kontrolirati in tudi ustvariti spoštovanje do sebe, tedaj se lahko zgodi, du se bo spremenila v menažerijo in bo bolj podobna džungli kot pa zborovanju razsodnih ljudi. Lahko l>o valovila <>d "konfuzije" do "konfuzije" in se končno povsem iszočarana ragAla Tudi na zadnji konvenciji Je bilo večkrat opaziti nodlacipllnl-ranost, in to kljub sposobnemu pr«*dsedatvu. Krivda Je bila njeni velikosti in v našem arhajlčnem ali zastarelem "parlamentarnem redu", ki morda odgovarja za manjša zborovanja ali pa /a take konvencije, kjer )e delegacija pripravljena le—kimati Ampak neše konvencije niao pripravljene nikomur kimati) In prav je tak«>! Ako bi prt&li v ta štadlj, bi bilo to znamenje da je organizacija—*članstvo- na nizki mentalni stopnji. Ampak na drugi strani todi nediscipliniranost in dostopnoet do "mob psychology" ali drhalskth sektm ni znamenje razsodnosti, kakor tudi ne nasedanje demaffoflronju do katerega lahko pride tud na naših konvencijah. K zaključku rečemo to, ako hi ne imeli tako spn»<,bnega in samozavestnega predeednlka. ki je /nal delegacijo tudt v njenih "konfuznih" ntoAfritlh bežati in gladiti »n jo riniti naprej, brez da bi izgubtl potrpljenje all ra/vninost, bi se bilo zborovanje sigurno raztegnile v drugI lede., Če kdo. je predsednik kon venci je sigurno zaslužil večjo plačo kot jo je prejel Ti "vtlst" se mogoče ne bod" tlopndU večini delegacije, morda sploh nikomur, ampek taki so Najbrie bt bili drugačni, če bi Imeli vsi vsej osnovno znanje -Robert's Order" In tudi zborovali po tem pravilniku fceleti je, da prtdem«. do tega na predka na prihodnji konvenciji JANKOVICHEVO TEDENSKO POROČILO Cleveland, O.—V tednu, ki se je pričel z dne 31. avgusta in končal 6. septembra, se je moje število novih naročnikov na dnevnik Prosveto povečalo za nekaj komadov, ali za nekaj zrn.

Pokojnik je bil član našega društva mnogo let. Zapušča u-žaloščeno soprogo, šest otrok in osem vnukov In vnukinj. Družina Dovsek se najlepše zahvaljuje vsem, ki so ji stali ob strani ob uri žalosti.

Kdor pozna delovanje ,te velike slo-vansko-smerlške organizacije, ga brez dvoma napeto pričakuje. To veliko zborovanje, na katerega bodo prišli delegati iz Sovjetske unije, Poljske, Čeho-slovaške, Jugoslavije in Bolgarije, bo dalo praktičen odgovor na vprašanja, ki nam belijo glave, odkar se je val strupene propagande zasukal proti Slovanom, proti demokraciji. Kongres bo zgodovinskega pomena ne samo za ameriške Slovane, ampak bo važen tudi za ameriško javnost, ker bomo dokazali, da delujemo za pravičen in trajen mir z isto vnemo ka kor smo delovali za zmago nad fašističnimi silami, za zmago demokracije. Pok. Roosevelt nam je dal čast in priznanje, toda po njegovi smrti se je vse spremenilo in pozabilo. Namesto hvaležnosti in priznanja, ža-njemo lažnjivo obrekovanje iz monopolističnega tiska samo za to, ker slovanski diplomat je na stopajo in odločno zagovarjajo pravičen mir In ovirajo pohod in prodiranje imperializma. American Slav Congress ^ resnici zasluži podporo in sode lovanje vsake organizacije in posameznika. Iz tega razloga se apelira na vse slovenske organi zacije, ki še niso izvolile delegata ali delegatinje, da to nemu doma storijo, v da se pridružijo ostalim Slovanom na manifestaciji v New Yorku, da dvignemo naš glas v prid zasužnjenih Primorcev, dokler je še čas. , Vemo iz skušenj, da ne bo vsem mogoče poslati delegata. Ta društva pa lahko pošljejo telegram ali piatrteno čestitko na to važno zborovanje. Delo kon- gresa je zvezano z velikanskimi stroški, da se izvede in razširi našo zdravo idejo in program med Amerikance in druge narodnosti, da se nam tudi oni pridružijo v borbi za trajen mir in boljše delovne prilike. Vsako društvo lahko daruje par dolarjev v ta namen, kar bo neizmerne koristi, da bo kongres izvršil svoje glavne cilje. American Slav Congress for Western Pennsylvania Geo.

I laugh at < PITTSBURGH, PA. — The 13th regular convention of the SNPJ is history, and now we move forward to insure a most strong, active fraternal organisation, built on the merits and decisions of all previous conventions, and only with the fullest cooperation between members and lodges and headquarters will we be able to attain that goal. Our delegate Sylvia Fabec, along with John Fabec. Mrs. Anna Klun, and the writer motored to Eveleth. Minn., for the convention. The trip proved very interesting and enjoyable, as did the state of Minnesota itself. One marveled at the sight of the miles of cornfields and long, straight stretches of highway through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. Tlie state of Wisconsin drew quite a bit of attention with its many dairy cattle, and even tobacco, much to our surprise. Upon entering the state of Minnesota, you cast your eyes toward the huge iron ore docks in Duluth, where giant lake freighters await their cargo to be taken to the eastern steel centers. On to Eveleth. some 50 miles sway, we gaze at the thousands upon thousands of pine and spruce trees, which make a lovely setting against the blue horizon. . Arriving in Eveleth. we found the city all dressed in colorful flags and banners, which hit your eye immediately upon entering the main business section. The SNPJ received quite a bit of publicity In the convention city, and added to its prestige and fine recftrd. The city itself is beautiful, and the people very hospitable. Thahks, Eveleth. for a job well done. AT THE PICNIC—The site was lovely, the weather was fair, and everyone was coming in from everywhere. Just about met the whole Pennsy delegation in the space of two or, three hours; with Fran Dermotta, Helen Ribarlch, and Emma Korošec wearing their shoes out on the cement floor; Augie Pod-boy, Bill Tomsic, and Ed Roney of Eveleth talking iron ore, over two glasses of beer per; Mike Kumer. and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rezek of Girard, O.. enjoying the program; another Pennsy fcroup, huddled with Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland in singing festivaLto the accompaniment of Rudy Pugel and his accordion; Larry Cassol doirf* his best wherever the words fitted in; leaned at the "dispensary" a while with ol' friends Pete Keraje and Jake Setni-kar of Eveleth; Joe Culkar, Ray Travnik. John Ygnc, Johnny Lesar, liked their beer sitting on the grass; caupht sight oi Mrs. Klun. Mr. and Mrs. Zbasnik of tly, Frank Kress. Dr. Arch, and Antoinette Simcic In a huddle: and btimped Into Max Kumer, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Zakraj-sek, Mr. and Mrs. John Skorja. Dan Obed, Andy Grum, Frank Groaer, and "Lefty" Lotrich. What a real SNPJ reunion! Conventions are so far and in between, but we're looking forward to Detroit in 1950. ■AT THE SESSION—E v e r y o n-e seemed to be too interested in resolutions, and debates, and elections, to notice and talk to acquaintances. Everyone had compliments for the wonderful school building, and the beautiful paintings adorning the hallway, which were painted by Mr. Joe Bogdan ich. There was art at ita highest, which reflects on this energetic and ambitious American Jugoslav. AT THE HALL—It was the same oP familiar "battle cry," "No beer." Every time the writer got there, the cry went up. but the bar still got its share of play; while the dance floor above was getting "sanded down," and its new coat of shellac "worked in" by everyone who could fit onto the dance floor. The score waa about IS oolkas and waltzes to every fox-trot. Chances are that everyone now needa a new pair of shoes. or maybe two pair for Dermotta. Ribarich, and Korošec. Sweatin* them out alao were Mary Majlich and brother Andy along with Mias Guzel, Stella Murn. Jen nie Padar and Ann Sannemann. and Mrs. Prasnikar, The SNPJ hall "done its share of sweating." believe you me.

PA.—Last call to local members wishing to bowl on lodge teams. We had a six-team league last fall but expect more this year. Tales of the good times we had, have brought auite a few beginners to me. We promise you good company, good refreshments, the best in town, at, incidentally, the very lowest price In town. Drop me a card If you cannot see me personally before or on Sept. 1< Our softball team ended their season on Sept. 1 true to form. By that I mean they're still such good 2arts they let the other team win. pecially since they were just a pick-up team from our social members. We held a big party after the game which was loud, lively, and lasted 'till the wee hours. We expect to see several of these players in our lineup next season. Which is more proof that athletic and other forms of recreation are a sound investment for the SNPJ. I have discussed the merits of forming a recreation or social committee with quite a few members and everyone thinks it a good idea. I'm not trying to dodge any work; but it stands to reason a group of six or more can accomplish much more with better results than one or two alone. Notice will be posted on the bulletin board of a special meeting in the near future for all members interested in promoting social activities. Out-of-towners will be contacted by mail. Another plan I hope to see accomplished at this meeting is the formation of a card party club. With so many card players among our members, there is no reason why we should not have card parties every ^wo weeks or even weekly, for members only, of course. We must not forget the juveniles, and can at least provide bingo for them. We have a large juvenile membership and should do much more for them than we have to date. ' Some of our ladies pitch a mean game of horseshoes. You should have seen Irene Brinsky and Ann Mlekush toss them around last Sunday. Think I'll take lessons from them. I haven't seen the Res-nik ladies vplay as yet but have heard good'reports. Congratulations to Frank Resnlk and Lillian Bogatay who will be Mr. and Mrs. on Sept. 14. HELEN RIBARICH. Sec'y. Badqerland New* MILWAUKEE, WIS.—Our sincere conprats to Tony Primozich and Christine Sawicki who will be married on Sept. 21. They will spend their honeymoon in the state of Colorado. The committee is hard at work completing plans for the affair to honor our returned service men and women which will be held at Mike Sostarich's Pleasant Valley Park. All who served in the last war will be mailed cards which they are to return to let the committee knovt whether they will be in attendance or not. Keep this in mind folks, as we want to have a real get-together. Bowlina—Within the next few weeks this popular sport will be in fuH swing. The Badger mixed league will start splattering the setups on Wed.. Sept. 18. Eight teams are ready for the opening gong, with the first shift starting at 7 p. m. and the second at 9 p. m. Bowling will take place at Wally Remk's Bowling Emporium at 814 S. 5th st. Butch Graf with an apron tied majeaUcally to his midriff will be on hand to take care of the thirsty and hungry.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBERTT!!] NOTATIONS Frances L Rak CHICAGO.—Vacations end all too quickly sometimes. Anyway mine did out Johsstown. Pa., way. It was perhaps the shortest vacation for Jo Anne and me, but it was a pleasant one. We did just a little sight-seeing and saw quite a few friends, and then, too, it is good to get home to be with the folks after an absence of seventeen months. Then, of course, it was good to return /back to Chicago again; back to the same routine again; and back to "Notations" again. During our stay in Johnstown, friends of ours made a special trip from West Newton, for a day's visit with family. The John Shinks Sr., their daughter Dorothy and the John Shinks Jr. made that trip. We were very happy with their visit We all went to see my sister's family where we saw our Other West Newton and Qrccnsburg friends. John and Pauline Kristan and daughter Sondra and also Mary and Martina Yamnik. We had a real nice corn and wiener roast at Jer-ney's picnik grove. It was a nice reunion with the old gang, some of whom we hadn't seen since before the war. • • • • WE WERE greatly shocked and grieved at the sudden death of a good friend, Anne Perch in, who had been living in East Chicago, Ind., the past four years, and who was a fqrraer resident of Johnstown. Pa. Ann Perchin. together with husband and sister and several others was in such a happv mood last month when she attended the Pioneer picnic. Wr even made plans for a return visit this month after her operation was over. It's so hard to believe that this operation was fatal to her. Ann was at one time one of the guiding members of the Flood City Lodge in Johnstown. When she moved to East Chicago, the lodpe suffered the loss of a good worker, altho she was still a Flood City City member at the time of her premature death. Several of us Chicagoans went to her wake last Thursday afternoon. In the ( vening the body was shipped to Johnstown for services and burial. Ann Pef-chin was also a member of the Moxham Beneficial Independent Lodge. Ann was only 37 years of age at the time of her death, and it was exactly 30 years ago that her mother was buried on that day. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to her beloved husband, Frank, and to her three sisters: Josephine Biz-jack. Louise Glavach. of Johnstown, and Julia Mocnik of Chicago. Genevieve Korošec of East Chicago and Mrs. Martin Abram Sr. and Julia Mocnik of Chicago attended funeral services in Johnstown. * • • • PERECT CIRCLE—Perfect Cir-clers are reminded that their next meeting will be held this Saturday morning, Sept. 14, at 10:30 in lower SNPJ hall.

FAMILY HELPMATE By Dorothy Sodnik For this week how about trying bean salad and potato pancakes for supper some evening? I like to think that these different pancakes are my own idea but perhaps some one else has also made them this way. • Shred, do not grade, several potatoes (depending on the size of the family) on shredder used for cabbage or other coarse vegetables. Also shred one good sized onion, season with salt and pepper. Add about two eggs, stir mixture thoroughly. Add very little flour, just enough to hold mixture together. Droo by tablespoonful into hot deep fat. Fry until brown and crisp. Serv^ with a green bean salad or a kidney bean salad. Crochet Jarrinqt Those of you who do a lot of home canning must have some oM rubber jar rings too stretched for use. Try crocheting around them with different and bright colored yarns. They make lovely and serviceable place mats, hot pot holders, and pieces for your end tables. They are handy because they lie flat. From time to time I will write about the dilfcrent uses for jar rings, ao do not diacard them. I Pants H olden Pants holders are a problem once the felt comes off. One way to prolong their use is to glue a piece of rough material such aa toweling, flannel, felt from old discarded haU. etc. onto the ends with a good household glue Tttmmtoet If you are planning on having tomatoes on table quite often while they are in season, try them peeled.

We all how'that ho spoke for all Slo-^nej and Jugoslavs here and ibroad. It is significant that Rus although committed to support- * the French line, last week plainly stated that it favored a boundary more in keeping with Jugoslav de Moreover, according to Kendrick, "this hint was also taken up by Great Britain with a warning that too, would throw over ths ^reement if anyone else tried to." Up to now Britain and America hive been the chief stumbling block in bringing about a sane and just dilution of the thorny problem. THIS WEEK, the peace conference is again discussing the Trieste problem, and it's hoped that it will be more successful. Kendrick doubts whether the Big Four compromise on the Trieste is sit would hold together, "particu-larly in view of the fact that none of the great powers really cares for it and they adopted it only because there was nothing else to do." Kendrick adds that "it was re-grded significant both tor present and future reference that Kardel, «d Nikolai Patrovsky, the Ukrain an delegate . . . both spoke of Slovenia, one of the six federated replies of Jugoslavia, as if it were i political entity of its own."

Do certain circles wish to prevent the consolidation of peace, cooperation and friendship with our Allied countries? . . . Although, we are used to these things, we hope and resolMtely demand that responsible quarters put an end to such acts of military organs. They constitute a danger to peace. Our peoples are not prepared to tolerate such encroachments on their sovereignty and their independence, as they have best shown during the war." In other words, the protests to Allied authorities started on Teb. 12, 1946, almost six months to the day before the first American plane was forced down on Aug. 9. And let it be noted, too, that at first the unauthorized Allied planes flying over Jugoslavia were mostly British, and obaerve that it is true to pattern for the British to initiate a practice, then let the Americans take it up. For six months after the first protest unauthorized, unreported flights of Allied aircraft persisted. On April 1, Tito served notice to the world of these violations and, in moderate terms, questioned their motives and warned that the Jugoslavs were not disposed to be patient forever with those who endanger the peace. But there was no change, and on July 4 the Jugoslav Foreign Ministry sent a note on the subject to the American embassy in Belgrade. Within the next few days the Department for Liaison with Foreign Military Missions of the Ministry of National Defense on several occasions called the attention of the military and air attaches of the American embassy to the continuing unauthorized, unreported flights of American planes (they were nearly all AmerlcafT now) over Jugoslav territory. And on July 10, General Kocha Popovich, Chief of Staff of the Jugoslav Army, himself wrote to the American military attache in Belgrade, asserting that the seriousness of these continued unauthorized flights was not to be minimized. They made the whole country restive. There were rumors (probably unfounded) that some of the planes had dropped leaflets and supplles-for whom? were they photograph ing? The Americans answered finally in notes on July 16 and August 7. The matter, these notes said, had been taken up with the competent American military authorities which had not yet replied. The letter of August V said that, a short tfctr.e before, the American Government had issued a circular letter forbidding American planes to fly over the territory of friendly countries without special permission. Bui still the flights continued. There wove 172 such flights, acoord lag to Jugoslav records, between July 1« and August 6—67 bombers. 46 transport plane« and 40 fighters. On Aug. 9, an American C-47 transport appeared at a height of J,000 meters over the airport in Ljubljana and circled the city twice. Jugoslav fighters gave what they believed to be internationally understood signals ordering the plane to land (the American fliers later said they had not understood the signals). When the American plane failed to comply, and headed toward the border, the Jugoslavs forced it down. By great good fortune and the skill of the American pilot. Capt. William Crambie, no one was injured in the foroed landing. A Turkish officer aboard the plane had been wounded by Jugoslav gunfire while the plane was still sloft. ' This plane, "foroed off its course on the difficult run from Vienna to Udine bv bed weather" (there haa been a difference of opinion on this, Jugoslavs claiming the day w*s clear), was only a short distance from Tito's summer home at Bled when It was forced down. How would it be if an unreported, unauthorized foreign plane suddenly came over the summer White House? In such circumstances, would American fighters have forced down the foreign plane? If they had shot It down I believe they would have been In error, as I believe the Jugoslavs in this Instance were in error. But it would have thfnjfh 1 couple of "sained our red senae of ■ft ft-j«** t® it T 'N'M d*y we visit- i tw, ___ 4 , * • «nd the Jugoslav Sav- 15 •• ^ proved Good to see T *««»n. after so many "V" to the Ah. ,,. we were am- Mned by y.

And it should not be forgotten that, despite official American denials of the number of unauthorized flights claimed by the Jugo slavs. American members of the crew of the plane forced down on Aug. 9 asserted, svhen interviewed after their release on Aug. 22 and before they were silenced, that they personally knew of "frequent flights of both American and British airplanes over Jugoslav teritory." They said they understood there had been as many as 20 such flights dai ly. which tallied with Jugoslav claims. Yet even after this first incident the tragic situation continued, and on Aug. 19 another American transport, making the same run, again went off its course, although the Jugoslavs insist that the weather was fine and visibility excellent on that day. The plane was 60 kilometers, over 25 miles, within Jugoslav territory. The Jugoslav aviators claim they tried for 16 minutes to persuade the plane to land. It ignored their signals, and under their tragically all-considered gunfire fell In flames near Koprivnik, with the loss of all five men fboard Such are the facts as nearly as they can be determined at this writ ing (Aug. 28). f And our State Department, with an alacrity it seldom showed in dealing with Germany and Japan jumped in with an "ultimatum" de manding that all its terms be met within 48 hours or the case would be carried to the United Nstions Security Council. By the time the "ultimatum" had been delivered to Tito the American survivors of the first* plane had been released and Tito had ordered that under no circumstances were American planes to be fired upon, so that the "ultimatum" had become, in Tito'i word, bespredmetan — inapplicable irrelevant! And all through this period, day and night, the radio voices over America—betraying a conscious or unconscious nostalgia for the good old days when they were reporting red-hot war news—throbbed with drama, putting the sharpest possible construction on everything the Ju goslavs did or might do, whipping up hysteria in millions of homes And the newspapers screamed in big headlines, the worst of them dropping big black hints about the atom bomb and weeping all over again about poor Mihailovich; and even the more conservstive ones behaving as though this was indeed just what they had been waiting for to prove afresh how righteous are we and how benighted and barbaric all those who live to the east of the German and Italian moral and cultural ramparts. It would be well if the New York Times and other newspapers which accept the role of responsible moulders of American public opinion stopped putting quotation marks around such words as "American reactionary Interests" and "American imperialism," as though they did not exist. The words, like many others, are over-used. But the realities of which they are the names persist and are very fresh in the minds of many people in eastern Europe. To the Jugoslavs, imperialism is not something that went out with Queen Victoria, brave troops marching romantically in the jungles of Africa and Asia, or ver«r* by Rud-yard Kippling. Imperialism to them is a very recent arrangement by which western European investors in Jugoslav copper mines drew an annual return of 235 percent of their investments while the Jugoslav workers in those mines were—"natives"—paid the equivalent of 25 cents a day. And American reactionary interests are big oil and other corporations which, for the favor of doing business in eastern Europe, seem intent on drawing off a large share of the wealth of theae countries, and which aeem to play a large part in influencing the policies of both the American press and radio and the American State Department. This is not what the Jugoslavs fought and died for. Indeed it was just auch practices, carried to an extreme development by Germany arid Italy, that they fought and died to resist. Americans should have no difficult* to appreciate this: they fou'ht against the same evil The American ambeeeedor in Belgrade. Richard C. Patterson, to whom the British diplomata in the Jugoslav capital laughingly refer as "the American ambassador to Tito's opposition." is rtoaely asaorieted with a large Wall Street investment corporatism with considerable inter* est* in the Balkans. Should the Ju-goalavs be unmindful of this fact? Americans would be well advised to keep this in mind Jugoslavia is no longer ' governed by parvenu monarrtis and opportunist*, ready to sell out their own people for a cut in foreign investments The peoples of Jugoslavia are sick end tired of being pushed around Their government today is an the hands of men of principle sod pride. It If.......I KMlll Juvenile Circles ef the SNPJ Strsbane Juvenile« Win Ball Game In Verona STRABANE. PA—Sunday. Sept 1st. marked the laat of summer activities for Circle 19. On that day ^truckload of members traveled to Verona to witness the last of the season's softball games played between the Strabanc Circles 19 and 27 and the Veronlan Circle 15. This was our third trip this summer and by far the most interesting. Riding through the north and east of Pittsburgh th** members en-oyed the many different sights. All too soon we reached our destination, the Veronlsn field, where Mary Bozick, manager and her teatn of boys and many of her Circle members greeted us warmly. After little out-field practice the game got under way with the Veronians going over the top in the first half and finally losing to Strabane in the last half with a score of 11-10, All fair and square the game ended satisfactorily with an invitation extended to the Verona team to play our team in Strabane early next summer. After the game Mary Bozick invited us to the hall which is located on the shores of the Allegheny river. Here the table was loaded with sandwiches and pop for everyone and served by the smiling and a bit shy juvenile lassies. After lunch we viewed the hall and surroundings. The hair inside was fittingly decorated in honor of their heroes who the Sunday before had a very successful welcome home banquet. Here some of the members danced to popular pieces of Slovene music. Outside groining the hall we were delighted to see a playground. Already gojme of our ,boys were pitching horaeahoe and playing volley ball while the younger boys and girls swung on iwings and having a merry time sliding on a slide, and still others watching from the shore the sailboats and steamboats as they glided to and fro on the river. Is it any wonder we were so reluctant to leave with so much fun on hand? Thank vou M*in Mary Bozick and all ClrclS numbers for the fine time you showed us and may we have the opportunity to greet and treat you in the same generous way when you come out to Strabane next ball season. IntANCES PETRO. reports of supreme officers to Delegat«* of the THIRTEENTH REGULAR CONVENTION of S. N. P. J. (Continued) Manager's Report for Society's Publications Dear Brothers and Sisters: " We have gathered again, to submit reports to the delegation of our Slovene National Benefit Society, on the work sincu last convention, that is, for the period beginning January 1, 1941 and ending December SI, 1945 My report for the Proaveta, juvenile magazine, "The Voice of Youth'* (formerly known as the Mladinski List, and for Printer)' is divided by departments, accompanied by tables showing financial status for period of five years. PltOSVETAi -V At the time of laat convention, the weekly issue was printed in 29,000 copies. Since then, the number has been increased for 4,700, or a total of 33,700 copies. This increase is. of course, due to the gain in membership, for the orgsnization had, at the end of year 1945, 48,562 members enrolled In the adult department, everyone of whom la entitled to one copy. The reason weekly is being printed for 14,882 numbers loss than the actual adult membership figure is because theae members have credited their weeklies to the dally paper subscriptions. With a small exception, moat all the families take advantage of this privilege as soon as their children are transferred to the udult department, that is, they credit their weekly to the family subscriptions to dally. 2,019 members voluntarily canceled their weekly Prosveta in response to our appeal on account of paper shortage during the war, At the end of year 1945 we were printing dally In 6,200 copies, as com< pared to 6,000 at the time'of last convention. The gain in this five year period, then, haa been for 1,200 copies. From time to time wo publish the names of new subscribers in the official organ. Thla, however, does not neceasarily mean that we have gained that many new subscribers We must take into consideration that our subscribers are mostly older people, many of ^vhom we lose because of death, In many Instances can* cela t ions are also due to the logs of sight or simply qld age. On the other hand, we have continued with our policy of sending the paper to those who request that we wait for payment. I want to mention, also, thut the SNPJ Is paying subscription* for several poor members out of thu special benefit fund. We ure, however, hopeful for a few hundred new subscribers as a lesult of the current subscription campaign which I«, heretofore, progressing rather satisfactorily. As far as advertising is concerned, I am happy to report that the situa Hon has improved much over the previous years. We carry most help wanted ads, which are easily obtained. Our advertising income his increased for a few thousand dollars. This has been a great help toward covering expenaes, which are still mounting dally. j The purchase of ma-terlsls has been and la now even more so than during war time, our most difficult problem. Circulation and Table Showing Weekly Prosveta Included In Dally Subscriptions. The following table ahows the division and number of membership weeklies included in dally subscriptions: Perfect Circle Announces Fall Program. Sept. 21 CHICAGO.—One miss, thst's not bad, even though we do call our-aelvea the Perfect Circle. The "one miss" refers to the' first meeting that had to b« canceled this year due to oifr manager's absence. We msde amends at our August 31 meeting, however, and got right into the swing of thinga by passing out tickets to sell for our fall program, "Home Sweet Home," to bo held on Saturday, Sept. 28. for the benefit of the children's ,hqgpitol in Slove-nls. . After dispensing with the remsln. ing business, Miss Jennie Padar of Brooklyn was introduced to the Circle. Jennie is manager of Circle 50 in Brooklyn, New York; and she gave us some information about her Circle's activities. She then took a few snapshots of our group standing in front of the SNPJ Hall. The next day, Sunday, Sept. 1, she accompanied us to Waukegan where we participated somewhat unsuccessfully in the Juvenile Field Day events, That same evening we reluctantly bid Jennie goodby at the train station. She had to go back to Brooklyn; for it was during hrr absence that the National League-leading Dodgers moved down to second place. We do hope wi can meet Jenoie again; she's "one of the bunch" now.

G. B 8. is now 00, und the man who wrote "Back to Methuselah" is fairly bent to outlive that biblical undent. ^ In spite of his age, Shaw Is spry, and as keen as ever. He still comments on world affairs and humanity's problems. Shaw is aa Irish Protestant by birth. His father waa a second cousin to a baronet, und his mother was the daughter of a country gentleman. He claims descent from Oliver Cromwell and the celebrated Macduff Thune of Fife. However, hig famllv belonged to an Impoverished nobility. Thla necessitated his earlv departure for London to seek a livelihood. Muny years of near povertv was his lot, for he was not trained for work or trade. He tried his hand In writing, hut met flalure for nine venrs, This was not due sn much to literary ability, but to the suhtect matter. For, from beginning, he attacked the stodsv Victorian society, predatory capitalism, and Britain's impe-lallam. Converted to Henrv George, and later to socialism, he became a champion of the underprivileged. He was the leading spirit In the Fabian socletv. a sort of an Informal university for the intelectual liberals of England. A great part of his earlv life wss devoted to speaking and pamphlet writing for the socialist cause of England. Twice'he was a candidate for public office, once for a seat on London county cmtncil. His frank ooinlons on prbolems were no polit leal assets, and his political career ended in defeat. In 1892, his first plav was accepted bv a publisher. Henee onward, he dcvot»d his time primarily to play-writing. Most nf his plays were unusually auecessful. and today Shaw is acclaimed with the greatest writers of English prose, His beat .known works are, "Man and Superman," •The Devil's Disciple," "Pygmalion," and "Saint Joan." His "Caesar and Cleopatra" is now showin« at the ^motion picture Rouses of the nation. Shaw's caustic wit, his earthly common sense, and his phtlosoohy nf life are worth reading.

All bigger or important matters, which may come up, however, in cooperation with the supreme executive committee and the supreme board. I would like to state, also, that it is my fervent wish that this delegation will accept and abide by the course of paper Prosveta in such a manner that it will answer true teaching« of social democracy and consequently serve best our membership and general culture of the working people. Too much is not yet lost, but it is high time that we begin to generate more interest among our younger element for the principles, upon whk'h our Society has thrived and established s firm foothold. Let ut see to it, that our work will remain in honorable esteem smong our Americsn born youthl PHILIP GODINA, Manager of Society's Publications and Printery. Editor'9 Report The scope of my report dates bsck to June, 1944, st which time I as sumed, lesulting from the sction of supreme board, the duties of this office. You are already familiar with the fact that prior to that, I was the assistant editor ef Prosveta approximately 15 years. On becoming editor-in-chief, my former position was taken over by Milan Medvesek of Cleveland, while the other two asfistant editors hold their positions even longer than the undersigned, Bro. Beniger approximately 20 years and Bit,. Slabe 10 years. Work of the editorial staff is an open book. I will not give you a minor detail account of our work; I want to say, however, that all of us are burdened, for we hsndle daily, weekly and the monthly "The Voice of Youth." Our formal work week consists of 40 hours, informally it is much longer, for editorial work is not ended with office hours, but con tinues at home. This is especislly true for the editor-in-chief, who must follow the trend of daily events, seek further knowledge, collect and prepare publication material. Work of a diligent journalist, especislly that of a responsible editor, ig really never done, if he does not care to neglect it. Besides his obvious duties, a responsible editor hsg duties that are not generally apparent In this, patience and tolerance become a necessity, But enough of this. Prosveta and the juvenile magazine are, as I said, an open book. I do not know of any complaints on the part of our readers. It is impossible to satisfy everybody; often enough, a person is not satisfied with his own efforts snd would rather discsrd them, were it not tor the necessity of filling the paper. I believe that our readers generally are satisfied with the policies and mora or less with the content« of both publications. This, of course, does not mean that * there is no room for improvement. Ws must be satisfied with what we possess, it is true, but slways strive to giva and do better. Greater heights could be resched if we had, at our disposal, the mesns and qualified regulsr contributors such as the Wealthy American publications. Since lsst fall, we publiahed five supplements to Prosveta, 2 jubilee and 3 in the form of enlargement of daily paper from 4 to 8 pages. We were forced to do the latter, in order to publish numerous letters received from the old country by our readers. Even though this meant many hours of extra work and considerable expense, we did it gladly, because these letters to us, American Slovenes, present s fsithful account of heroic deeds accomplished by the army of liberation in the country of our birth. With these supplements, Prosvela and the Society expressed their sincere support of this heroic nation, which wss condemned to die, as well as the grest liberation movement. first of th* mentioned jubilee issues was issued in the English language on last Wednesday in November, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the English speaking lodges, while the second was an 8 page issued July 10th, commemorating the 30th anniversary of daily .Prosveta, My sincere thanks to all the contributors for their cooperation. Needless to say, there wss much extra work connected with these supplements. Contributions (dopisi) sre a very Important part of the paper. We srs never short of these, which proves thst Prosveta (dally) is a well liked and respected paper. My thanks again, to all the contributors. The question of msterial of cultural and other nsture srose when connections with the old country were «evercd. AU of our papers, especially dailies are dependent upon this; and we overcame this emergency better than we hoped. Overseas News Agency (ONA) began foreign language service (not free of charge, of course). We found it to be of good quslity. Same can be said for FLIS. Connections with the old country are still poor; for some months, however, we are refularly receiving "Ljudska Pravica" in "Kmetski Glas." # Material was tlso received from s few writers. Immediately after postal service with the old country was resumed, I tried my best to secure a per-manent reporter from Ljubljana (as in pre-wsr days), but without success. All capable persons of our own convictions are, at this time, busily engaged in building a new Slovenia, and s new Jugoslsvia. I finally came to the conclusion that we can do without a permanent reporter and help ourselves to overseas news with their publications which are always good in vsriety apd quality. Since I became the editor-in-chief, we had two membership campaigns; during there, campaign director received my full cooperation and support, which 1 believed was the editor's duty. Both campaigns were successful, aa were all others since the last convention. Campaign for new subscribers to Prosveta is currently under way. Good results are slresdy predicted, for it seems that we will succeed in getting over 1,000 new aub-aoibers. Credit to sll our Jimmie Higginscs! With regard to the weekly, and in accordance with my discussion of this point in the Prosveta, I recommend that the English section be enlarged to four pages. This meana more work for the editorial staff, but I feel, nevertheless that this change is necessary. We could gain this page by reducing the Slovene section. We are also faced with the neceaslty of enlarging juvenile magaslnr The Voice of Youth," if we want to maintain and enlarge it* Slovene section to at least six psges. The magazine's name was changed te the Eng-liah title at the August, 1844, meeting of the supreme board, so that it would become more attractive for our general English speaking youth. A new experiment in thla magazine appears in the form of McAlister Coleman« articles on social and labor problems. From the educational standpoint, they tre of great value to every reader. When our youth will be thoroughly acquainted with hia work, it la hoped that he will have a wider circle of readers. Our Juvenile director, Bro. Vrhovnik, who is of great help in editing the magazine, i« also «n excellent and versatile contributor.

It is easy to sneer at Tito's uniforms. Personally, I prefer him in civvies. And I think he was at fault that when he got no satisfaction from the American embassy and the State Department, he did not addreas a personal letter to President Truman protesting against the unreported, unauthorised flights of our planes over Jugoslavia, or by not instructing the new Jugoslav ambassador S. N. Koaanovich, to protest against these flights to the President face to face when he presented his credentials early In August. There is no doubt, as already suggeeted. that our people In Italy and/or AusUia. perhaps Mr. Byrnes or someon« else in the Slate Depart ment wete out to provoke the Ju gos lavs Into some unwiae action It is perhaps Tito's biggest failure so far that In this war of nerves he did not keep thl« provocation from ■ucceedlna Many of the new Juaoalav leaders lack experience and »avoir faire and manners of the haute monde.

That is their chief fault, from the point of view of some of the Americans, including Ambassador Patterson; that, and their disinclination' to see their re«ime collapse. * We in America need to understand this. This type of understanding can go a long wsy toward improving our relationship with Jugoslavia and removing the tense atmosphere in which, by error or otherwise, crimes occur, and tragedies. But something else will need to be done. We can begin by asking a few questions. Was the American provocation of the Jugoslavs organised and directed. or were our people in Italy and Austria led into it by the British, or did it just happen? If. a« I suspect. it was deliberate, ^vho organised it? Bv whoae direction? What was its purpose? Or was it merely an expression 6f the Anglo-American annoyance with the Jugoslavs over the Trieste question and over the fact that Jugoslavia had got into the Russian orbit? If the provocation had a purpose, what waa it? Or did it have, perhaps. sevcrgi purposes? To encourage the opposition to Tito? To intimidate the Jugoslavs generally on account of their insistence that Trieate rightfully belonged to Ju-goalavla? Tb overcome the demoralization of the American troopa in and around Trieste? Or waa there aome larger motive? To take a crack at Ruasia through Jugoaiavia? To Underline aome point we are trying to make at the Peace Conference?

Races were first, then broad jump, high jump, and last was the basketball throw. Circle 24 won both trophiies, besides sweaters which were won by Frank Stritar, Ray Ark, and Bob Mesec, and medals will be awarded to the other winners. Even though Circle 24 won in the Field Day events, Perfect Circle deserves to be commended on their enthusiasm and good sportsmanship, and they showed that they were good losers. The Circle trophies were presented in the evening along with the balina and golf trophies and cash prizes by Michael Vrhovnik. On behalf of Circle 24 and myself, we wish to extend thanks to SNPJ for having the opportunity to win such fine awards. Also thanks to Andrew Obosla. Michael Vrhovnik and George Rosol for taking charge of the events; to Victor Belec, score-keeper, Christine Stritar. John and Tony Mesec, and others that assisted with the Field Day. JOSEPHINE BEZEK. Perfect Circle 26 Rehearsing Benefit Program CHICAGO.—Perfect Circle members are in the midst of rehearsals again, and as usual the pair is full of vim, vigor and hilarity. The program is titled "Home, Sweet Home," and sll proceeds derived from it will go to the fund for the Children's Hospital in Slovenia. Never have the Circle members put so much effort and energy into a project as they are putting into this one. Recollecting over two years ago, to the "Down on the Farm" program, a committee was called to a special meeting. An outline of the proposed program was presented to the group, apd they were asked for opinions and suggestions. The response was not too good, and the general opinion was "If you think so, Ann." or "You probably know more about such things, Ann." They had no idea of all the incidentals connected with a program, other than giving the show. One member (at that time he was president of the Circle) was the exception, and his ideas and help at all times were invaluable to me. He is Edward Udovich, now assistant manager of the Circle: Well, we've gone a long way since that meeting. When we met for the "Home Sweet Home" prqgram, there were many of the original group, and some newcomers, too, but now it was a different story. Present were Marion Cervenka. Sylvia Trojar. Ella Mae Selak, Stanley Mo-zina, Dorothy Galavan, Rosemary Merhaut, Rose Podbevsek, Richard Zasadil. Ruth Medic. Edwgrd Udovich and this writer. Starting with the discussion of a suitable speaker for the occasion, kitchen, barroom, door and wardrobe room workers, the making of a poster and signs, decorations, and deciding on a special project for the younger group at the affair itself, and someone to supervise these youngsters, were just some of the problems taken care of by this committee. But it was when the program outline was presented, that tt)ey really went to town! This time it was "I think" or "I suggest" or "Don't you think we ought," and the result is that we feel we have a most original program to offer. Taking notes of the conversation all evening, Edward and myself used some of them as the basis in writing the dialogue for "Home. Sweet Home." The many pages of this dialogue were typed by Sylvia Trojar almost as fast as they were written, with Marion Cervenka tvping extra copies for the cast. Many people have commented time and time again on the "live wire" Circle bunch, but I wish they could see for themselves ju«t how the "live wire,' work when thev hrm ■ As for myself. hurt*?* ** myself with extTv^"** times such as the«, fenced them to keep Up 1 r" We .feel gUre that manv Patents, friends and JrTbL •eeing the prog,am some of the scene, an7T dents with some that oSL? be!' •11 we have to sav i« ~ For "Home, Sweet H J? the Circle's ,dea ' Home COU| of home, anyone's home. ^ that will be very fsJE** of our people.
