Nemci so zapustili Nancy tekom noči in Amerikanci so zasedli mesto skoro brez boja. Francosko prebivalstvo je ameriške fante navdušeno, pozdravljalo. V pristanišču Brest se vrše zadnji boji. V smeri od morja se slišijo močne detonacije, ki kažejo, da Nemci uničujejo pristanišče. Amerikanci so dali nemški garniziji že drug ultimat, naj se podajo, toda so ga zavrnili. Nemški poveljnik general Ramcke je baje obvestil Hitlerja, da posadka ne more več dolgo vzdržati, da bodo pa osvajalci našli v mestu samo razvaline. -o- Bogat plen so dobili Včeraj so trije banditi pri belem dnevu oropali Mrs John M.

Istočasno .je pa ameriška zračna sila napadla Filipine same, kjer je razbila Japoncem 5(M) letal. Največji topovi, kar jih ima ameriška bojna mornarica, so odprli kanonado na Palau, ki leži 600 milj vzhodno od Filipinov, medtem so pa ameriški marini s pehoto planili na obrežje. Vnel se je srdit boj z Japonci, toda Amerikanci so se končno ustanovili na obrežju. Boj za otok bo hud, ker ga Japonci smatrajo za glavno obrambo Filipinov. Japonci, ki so bili zakopani v strelskih .jarkih, so zadrževali ogenj toliko časa, da so bili Amerikanci v čolnih skoro na obrežju. Na malem otoku Morotai, 300 milj južno od Filipinov, so pa našli Amerikanci le peščico Japoncev. General MacArthur, ki je nadzoroval invazijo na te otoke, je izjavil: "Popolen poraz zre zdaj Japoncem v obraz." MacArthur gre zdaj za tem, da izolira 200,000 japonskih vojakov, ki se nahajajo na bogati Nizozemski Vzhodni Indiji. -—>-o- j Letos je toliko čebule, da ni dovolj prostora Washington. — Zadnjo zimo je primanjkovalo čebule, da so jo ljudje že kupovali na črni borzi.

No. ,217 Sat., Sept. 16, 1944 Nemčija bo morda storila kot je storil Samson Zavezniške armade so osvojile Francijo in zdaj načenjajo zadnji nemški zid, Siegfried linijo. Nemci so se morda vse od začetka vojne zanašali na ta zid. Toda spoznali bodo, da je tak zid proti tankom, topovom in zračni sili navaden kup peska. Nemci sicer govorijo o protiofenzivi iz sredine Nemčije, pa to ne more biti drugo kot navadna propaganda. Ako pa namerava Nemčija res to in bo nadaljevala vojno do zadnje kaplje krvi, potem namerava igrati vlogcrsvetopisemskega orjaka Samsona, ki so ga ujeli Filistejci, ga posadili med dva stebra, ki sta nosila streho palače, kjer je bila zbrana vsa visoka družba Filistejcev. Samson je pograbil s svojima silnima. rokama za stebra, ju potresel in palača je bila kup razvalin, pod katerimi je s sovražniki umrl tudi Samson. To je vloga, katero namerava morda igrati Nemčija in to je najbrže imelo v misli propagando gobezdalo dr. Goeb-bels, ko je rekel: "Vsaka vas, vsaka njiva, vsaka hiša — bo gnezdo odpora . . . Narod se bo dvignil kot en mož proti tistim, ki hočejo ropati njihovo zemljo." Ali je pa to mogoče? Na svetu je vse mogoče desperat-nim ljudem. Zato je nek filozof vzkliknil: "Nikdar ne ženi sovražnika do obupa!" Nizozemci so nekaj takega izvršili proti španskemu kralju Filipu II., Španci proti Napoleonu in celo slabo oboroženi in gladu umirajoči Azteci so skoro uspeli s tem proti španskmi osvajalcem. Seveda, kaj takega se more izvršiti le, če ima obupani narod dovolj časa za to. Je pa še ena druga pot, ki jo imajo morda Nemci v mislih. Ta je, da bi držali Ruse na vzhodni fronti in kadar bi zavezniki predrli obrambno linijo na zapadu, bi se nato umaknili tako daleč nazaj, da bi Amerikanci (in morda tudi Angleži) okupirali Berlin, nakar bi se Nemci podali. Pa naj si že Nemci izberejo že to ali ono obupno pot v skrajni sili, zavezniki na zapadu imajo še vedno važen problem in ta je — predreti nemško zapadno obrambo in vdreti po dveh glavnih koridorjih v Nemčijo. En koridor pelje preko Kolina skozi Porurje v severno Nemčijo, drugi pa skozi Coblenz v centralno Nemčijo. Ta in drugi koridor nudita mnogo zaprek in če se bodo Nemci odločili ustavljati do zadnjega, bodo mogli zavezniki prodirati le počasi. Seveda, Nemci morda ne vidijo, da imajo zavezniki v rokan še enega trumfnega asa in ta je, da s pomorsko silo primejo Rajh na severu. Od tukaj bi bila pa tudi najkrajša pot do Berlina. Kadar se bo pojavila za Nemce še ta nevarnost, se ji ne bodo mogli zoperstavljati, ker bodo imeli drugod polne roke dela. Fakt je, da Nemci uvidevajo, da so kot vojaška sila uničeni. Zato je prav lahko mogoče, da bodo sprejeli vlogo Samsona ter sami poginili z stavbo. S tem, mislijo morda, bi ustvarili v centralni Evropi tako zmešnjavo, da bi je niti zavezniki ne mogli razvozljati. Razume se, da so vse to sama ugibanja, ker nihče drugi ne ve, kot glavni naciji, kaj bodo končno napravili. Morda so že določili dan, kdaj se bodo vdali, morda se bodo otepali do zadnjega in grizli okrog sebe do zadnjega diha. Vse to bomo pa videli kmalu. Ali bo Rusija pomagala proti Japoncem? Mnogim vstaja v možganih vprašanje: ali bo Rusija ob svojem času pomagala naklestiti Japonce? To vprašanje se poraja zlasti zdaj, ko se je Stalin zopet izmazal prisostvovati konferenci z Rooseveltom in Churchillom. Pisal je, da je zdaj preveč zaposlen z ofenzivami in da ne more od doma. To, pravijo nekateri, je samo izgovor, saj prej tudi ni prišel na sestanke kam dlje od doma, pa ni bil v ofenzivi. Ali se morda odnošaji med "velikimi tremi" ohlajajo? Če se, bi bila to prijetna novica ne samo za Japonce, ampak tudi za Nemce, ki še vedno upajo, da bo razdvojili zaveznike. Toda na zunaj ni nobenega vzroka videti, ki bi dajal povod takim mislim. Saj bi bil Stalin bedast, če bi se prav zdaj ohlajal napram zaveznikom, ko dobiva Rusija dividende od te zveze. Je pa razlika v mnenju glede vzhodne Evrope med Washingtonom in Moskvo. Zed. države so proti temu, da bi Rusija diktirala tam politiko in vlade. Prav tako so Zed. države proti temu, da bi imela Anglija zadnjo besedo v za-padni Evropi. Naša vlada in ameriški narod v splošnem sta prepričana, da bi angleška in ruska dominacija Evrope igrala naravnost v roke premagani Nemčiji in fašizmu in da bi bilo to seme za novo vojno. Ta ameriška politika je znana vsemu svetu in vendar ni odvrnila niti Anglije niti Rusije od njiju namer. Stric Sam pač svoje demokratične politike ne pove dovolj na glas in ne dovolj s poudarkom. To, da hoče Rusija dominirati vso vzhodno Evropo, je pa še ne reši pred obveznostjo na Daljnem vzhodu. Japonska je bližja Rusiji kot je nam in bolj nevarna Rusiji kot je nam. Jože Stalin dobro ve, da je Rusijo rešila pred napadom od ctrani Japonske samo naša ofenziva na Pacifiku. Vsled tega je Stalin lahko posvetil vso pozornost proti nacijem. i'u.l.n tudi dobro ve, da če se nam ne bo pridružil v boju pro- I IIH I HH.j t I HtU 11 l llt tll i ritTtiiflTm iTirHi ti BESEDA IZ NARODA «M"l"t"l"H"t'M 11 H i| ■!

Resnica je, da smo precej mrtvi in tihi, a zaspali pa še nismo in upamo, da bomo še par let pri življenju, seveda to pa le, če se bodo naši člani malo zbudili iz mrtvila in se pričeli malo bolj zanimati za svoje društvo in njegovo blagajno. Blagajna, blagajna in zopet blagajna . . . Zakaj pa tako poudarjati blagajno? Mislim, da vsak član to že ve in če ne, pa naj izve danes, da je blagajna duša društva, kajti kakor hitro poide blagajna, se neha tudi bratstvo in z njim tudi društvo. Čudno pri vsem tem se mi le zdi to, da mnogi člani vedo za društvo le v gotovih slučajih, to je, kadar istega potrebujejo, a kadar pa društvo kliče svoje člane na delo za skupnost, tedaj pa je tako malo zanimanja, da je res žalostno. Žalostno in resnično, da je le premnogo naših članov, ki mislijo, da s tistim asesmentom, ki ga redno ali neredno plačujejo vsak mesec, store tudi vse. Vendar pa temu ni tako. Kljub temu, da smo se tekom let postarali, bi ne smeli tako popolnoma zapustiti svoje društvo. Samo spomnite se malo v preteklost, kako je bilo včasih živahno pri društvu, ko se je prirejalo razne' zabave in veselice in s tem pomagalo društveni blagajni, da. je rastla in društvo napredovalo. Kako pa je danes? Saj sem že pozabili, kdaj se je naše društvo kaj oglasilo v javnosti. Naše seje? Da,' ali to sploh še moremo imenovati seje, ko pa je največkrat navzoč sam odbor. Kje ste ostali člani? Ali naj samo odbor dela za vse? Ce se ne boste člani zanimali, vedite, da tudi odbor ne more vsega sam storiti. Vsak član je ob vstopu položil nekako prisego, s katero se je obvezal, da bo vestno izpolnoval društvene dolžnosti in vselej in povsod skrbel in delal za čast in napredek društva, katerega član je. Na vse to se mi zdi, da ste pa kar nekam pozabili. Na eni zadnjih sej je bilo sklenjeno, da se da v promet nekaj "delnic" za vojni bond, da se bo na ta način krilo vsaj stroške delegatov konvencije, ki se je vršila ta teden. Članska dolžnost vas veže, da se vsak potrudi in proda ali pa sam kupi vsaj eno knjižico teh "delnic," ki stanejo samo en dolar. Nekateri so se že prav lepo pokazali in prav tako je pričakovati od vsakega posameznega člana, da bo žrtvoval vsaj en dolar za svoje društvo in pri tem pa ima še priliko, da bo mogoče deležen tistega bon-da. Prvotno je bilo sklenjeno, da se bo oddalo ta bond na prihodnji seji (18'. septembra), a ker je odbor videl, da do avgu-stove seje še ni bilo zadostnega odziva v tem oziru, zato smo sklenili, da se bo vršila posebna seja v oktobru in sicer tretjo nedeljo popoldne in tam bomo tudi oddali tisti vojni bond. Seveda bo ob tisti priliki tudi malo poskrbljeno za kakšen pri-1 grizek in če bomo jedli, bo tre- J ba tudi zalit, za kar bo tudi poskrbljeno. To sem vam omenil samo mimogrede, več o tem pa boste slišali na seji v ponde-»Ijek 18. septembra in bo tudi še poročano v časopisu. Torej, bratje, če vam je ob- stoj društva res pri srcu, potem pridite v pondeljek na sejo in nikar ne dopustite, da bo delo vaših rok in vaš trud, kar tako hitro pozabljeno in zaspalo. Večkrat smo že poudarjali: "Vsi za enega, eden za vse!" Torej držimo se tega tudi v praksi, v resničnem življenju; ampak, kakor pa izgleda sedaj, pa je nekako tako: "Nekateri za vse, vsi vsak sam zase." Kot večletni blagajnik" našega društva, ko imam priliko opazovati zanimanje članstva in pojemanje naša blagajne, ne morem pomagati, če sem morda zapisal kakšno, ki morda temu ali onemu ne bo všeč. Zapisal sem samo to kar je res in kdor izmed članov se vsaj kdaj udeleži seje, bo lahko priznal, da je tako in nič drugače. Vsi opomini, s karticami in vabili v časopisih, do sedaj niso zalegli dosti ali v največ slučajih nič. Upam in pričakujem, da bo ta dopis imel vsaj malo uspeha in da bodo te besede dosegle vsaj nekatera ušesa, ker da bi to ganilo vse, sploh ne pričakujem. No, bomo videli, je rekel slepec. Z bratskim pozdravom, Frank A. Turek, blag. -o- 0 Sansovi konvenciji Piše Jože Grdina (Nadaljevanje) Konvencijo je formalno zaključil g. Kristan, aktivni predsednik Sansa, ki se je malo oziral tudi na formalnost, češ, da ga nihče ni vprašal ali sprejme predsedništvo ali ne. Navzoči pa so mu živahno ploskali. Priznati je treba, da je g. Kristan korekten in j ako zmožen vodja, da pa obrača vodo bolj na svoj mlin, je umljivo, ker je to pač človeško, sleherni je raje višji kot nižji in vsak raje več velja kot manj. Ob zaključku je g. Kristan pribil dejstvo, da če bi Sansa ne bilo, bi tudi z dobrom Južnih Slovanov ne bilo nič. Tako je to še bolj jasno in kar je, kakor sem omenil že v začetku, tudi g. Adamič priznal, da je Slovenec vzdrževal: Hrvata, Bolgara, Macedonca in Srba. Da se pa ne bo komu godila krivica, je treba poudariti to, da Srba le po imenu, ker tisti Srbi, ki so v tistem odboru, kateremu je predsedoval g. Adamič in mu sedaj predseduje Ba-lokovič je j ako majhen odstotek Srbov, kajti vsi, ki so res ponosni Srbi, se noben ne peča s temi ljudmi. Srbi imajo svoje sklade in ne bo prav nič pretirano, Če rečem, da imajo toliko zbranega kot Slovenci, Hrvatje, Bplgari in Macedonci skupaj, dosti manj ne bo, raje več. Zakaj to omenjam? Zato, ker poznam Srbe, ko so 'delali za Jugoslovanski kulturni vrt. Srbi so pošteno in ponosno prispevali svoj delež, dočim s Hrvati in bilo nič in če je kaj bilo, ni vredno besed. Torej, da si slovenska javnost ne bo delala vtisa, ko bodo prišle gotove stvari, da bi baje šel slovenski denar tistemu odboru združenih Južnih Slovanov — ne recite tedaj: Srbom bo šlo. Ne, Srbi so preponosni, da bi vas prosili ali celo zahtevali. Ogromna večina Srbov nima prav nič skupnega s tistim odborom 1 Južnih Slovanov. J Na konvenciji je krožil tudi I fotografični odtisek ljubljan-! skega Slovenca, v katerem se ! poroča o prisegi Hitlerju in če ' se ne motim, da je imel škof Rožman ob tej priliki sveto mašo. Neka ženska mi je prinesla ta obtisek (bili so trije različ- ni odtisi). Malo sem površno prebral in ženska pa pravi: "Vidite, kaj takega se je delalo, prisega, da se naše fante pobija . . ." Tako nekako je go-stolela. Stvar mi je bila seveda jasna. To stvar so prinesli, da se denuncira naše slovenske katoličane v Sloveniji, zlasti pa škofa Rožmana. Po-mudimo se malo pri tem. Prisegali so Hitlerju in škof je imel sveto mašo . . . Ljudje ali ste res tako naivni ali pa ste tako zlobni, najbrže bo oboje, da bi moral škof to odkloniti in ker ni, je nekak izdajalec — kvizling. Ali res ne razumete položaja? Predstavite si človeka, ali magari sami sebe, da vas slečejo in trdo pri-vežejo k drevesu, potem pa stopijo pred vas z noži in samokresi in poleg tega vam morda še pretijo, da zakurijo pod vami, ako ne izblebetate nekaj besed o prisegi. Kdo bi bil tako neumen, da bi za tako stvar trpel mučeniško smrt. Škof in ves narod je bil prisiljen, kot tisti, ki je trdo privezan k drevesu in če bi odklonil bi ne bilo samo po njem, pač pa bi bilo tudi po narodu, kolikor ga je še ostalo in škof Rožman, če bi se bil uprl, bi bil kriv vsega tega gorja, ker bi se nacisti znesli nad našim narodom. Lahko je klepetati: "Ne podata se, rajši umreti ..." to je silno lahko tu v Ameriki. Sramota je pa ne toliko za napredne, ker tem se itak gre za tem, da se na ta ali oni način znesejo nad škofom in duhovščino, ampak sramota je, da si tako napačno tolmačijo to katoličani. Prisegali so . . . Bog je gospodar in On ve kakšna je bila ta prisega, da je bila zvezana s smrtjo in taka prisega pred njim prav gotovo ne velja. Kdo še ni prisegal, rad ali nerad? Predsednik Sansa, g. Etbin Kristan, je tudi hočeš nočeš prisegel cesarju Francu Jožefu in to najbrže večkrat, saj je služil tega cesarja kot na d poročnik (oberlajtnant), pa je pozneje gotovo prisegel tudi kralju Petru in Aleksandru. Pa mu tega danes nihče ne očita, ko grmi proti monarhom in monarhijam m če bi Kristan služil Hitlerja ali pa Mussolinija, bi prisegal pa tudi njima in prisegal bi Cainkar, ali Durn ter prav tako tudi g. Adamič. Boš se pokoril oblasti in to, rad ali ne rad, pa naj ti je všeč ali ne. Pri tem, ko sem čital, se mi je zasmilil škof Rožman in naši rojaki in bojim se, da bodo pod to hinavsko pretvezo storili škofu kaj žalega, če res kdaj zavladajo v Sloveniji komunisti popolnoma. Ko je Hitler podjarmil Srbijo, si je izbral kot nekakega protektorja nad isto generala Nediča, ki je ob sprejemu te oblasti izjavil pred Srbi: "Srbi, jaz sem prodal svojo dušo, da vas rešim ..." To je junaška žrtev, da si ga nekateri, ki ne razumejo, obsojajo kot "kvizlinga." Upreti bi se bil moral, pravijo. Lahko je reči, ampak, kaj bi sledilo temu? Srbski narod bi bil padal še v večjem številu pod naciskimi streli. Nedič je na ta način bil nekak varuh srskega naroda, da ga ni Hitler popolnoma uničil. Pod Nedičem je sicer padlo recimo sto Srbov, če bi nje- čisto pozabivši, da ^ gov dom, ker je b"0 i daj popoldne in s°n Pameten gospodar1 kem času ne sili d° -j h ne bi, ker mu bo ta W i m kako sitno delo. ^ Drenik je zavil P?., cesti gori proti sv , ustavil in dal n8^ vanje vprašanJe> ^ Drenikovim, aH me se, da bi bilo ^ vanje v splošno JJJ činstva, to se < glasovala solidno ± Dreni*0. •15 [H % te prijaznih delati in ( roko, ni bilo pi"aV'. delati in odločeva^J 7 m priznati, da mi j^p ustregel, ker P° .

MAILING SUGGESTIONS FOR OVERSEAS XMAS PACKAGES Although it is only September, we must remember, that if we do not get those Christmas packages, on the way for overseas now, that there just will not be a Merry Christmas this coming December, for the. boys and girls in uniform who might be neglected. So let's get started, and mail early. Towards the assurance that your parcels will be received on time, you must send them out between September 15 and October 15. And as for size and weight. Those packages mustn't tip the scales more than five pounds when wrapped! And get out the tape measure "and be sure'they do not measure more than fifteen inches in length or more than thirty-six inches in iength and girth combined. Then most important is the address- Be absolutely positive that your overseas package is completely, correctly, clearly and legibly addressed. If possible, print address with a substance that will not mar, run, streak, or smudge. Enclose a complete address and return address inside your package. This will insure delivery if the outside wrapping should become soiled or torn. Next comes tiie label. Mark your overseas Christmas package as "Christmas Gift Package." Do not use a label which resembles a postage stamp. And, of course, the postage. You must pay the full postage of the overseas Christmas package from the post office where you mail it to the port of eimbark'ation in care) of which the package is addressed. And now wrap it up right! Pack and wrap securely in a strong box. Do not use a shoe box. If package contains small items, wrap each one completely and thoroughly, so. all contents are protected. -o—:- Wrong Person Bopped in Eye Denver, Colo. — Every mother-in-law in Denver lately has been looking daggers at her son-in-law, after the experience of Mrs. Martha Martin, sister-in-lw of Denver City Councilman Michael A.

His letter reads: Dear Mom: Things here on the island have quieted down. The Japs are beat, "but good!" There's still a few snipers around, but all the heavy fighting bas ceased. That first week here on the island was really hot. There were bodies all over the place, mostly Japs. I helped take a little life out of one of them. Abouth the third day on the island, one of the fellows in my battery and I ran into a sniper. He had a hand grenade in his right hand and was about to let it fly our way, when the two of us opened up on him. He never got the grenade away. It's a good thing for us he didn't. Being in an artillery outfit, we don't usually get the chance to dig the rats out, but on this push, our battery alone has killed something like (censored) Japs. 1 wish you could see these natives here on (censored). They're really a nice-looking people, very white and E. 62nd St., received a letter Prešeren, who is a Marine on very friendly. I guess they're just so glad to see the Americans come back, after two awful years with the Japs. This island, too, is very nice, by far the best I've seen since coming out here. Getting back to the natives, they all moved up into the mountains when the war started. They are just now starting to come back down, even though most of their homes have been destroyed.

With the Yankees, Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Browns and Boston Red Sojj engaged in tile most bitter league race of several years, there is a strong possibility that this year's attendance will finally be more than 1,000,000 over 1943. One month ago, the St. Louis Browns held a happy e^-gsme lead over Boson in the- American League, with Detroit third by eight and New York fourth by SJ4,—and Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yanks predicted that the Browns would slump. They didn't slump,—they collapsed, as they won only 11, while dropping 19. McCarthy's men have won 22 out of 33 in the past month, and Detroit has a month's record of 21 wins against 10 losses. However, the Browns have the edge on the other teams, because all their remaining games will be played at home. The Indians have recalled seven of their young players they farmed out to minor league clubs. From the Baltimore club of the International League, the Indians are recalling Pitchers Charles Embree, Ambrose Palica, George Hooks and Harold Kleine and Catcher James Devlin. Embree has been a sensation with the Baltimore Club, winning 16 and losing 8 games. Palica won 12 and lost 7. The others recalled are Catcher James McDonnell from the Louisville Club of the American Association and Catcher Henry A. Ruszkowski from Wilkes-Barre of the Eastern League. The Tribe also purchased from their Wilkes-Barre farm club Bill Bonness, former Lakewood high school star, and Earl'Henry, both southpaw pitchers. Between last Thursday and Sunday, the Indians were guests of the Detroit Tigers, who took three games out of four. But on their day of rest, on Friday, they made a trip to the nearby Fort Custer, where they handed the inexperienced camp nine a 15-4 trouncing. What impressed the players was the Tribe's personal contact with German prisoners of war interned thfcre, a detachment of them comprising the ground crew. When the players attempted to strike up a conversation with the few who knew a smattering of English, the blond members of the "master race" were taciturn and arrogant. They seemed contemptuous of people who played baseball for a living, and according to the officers, they are stjll confident that Germany will win the war.

TAUGHT SPANISH IN THE ZOO A few years ago, Jules Jacot, a trainer at the St. Louis Zoo, got fed up with wise guys who mess up animal acts — people who confused the performers by barking out commands in the middle of a show. This expert, one of the conductors of the popular free exhibitions given at the city's park each summer, hit upon the idea of teaching his charges to obey orders give nin Spanish. It took a lot of extra training to make the change-over, but the animals soon caught on. And they went through their routine, paying no attention to the loud-mouths. The jokers with a distorted sense of humor couldn't figure out what was wrong with their technique. They shouted as loud as ever, but the animals didn't seem to hear them. It was a pelasure to see the frowns of frustration on the faces of some of the less welcome visitors.

"Bomb" Baugh, of Winder, Ga., to United Press Correspondent Robert Richards. "You can tell the folks back home that as far as we are concerned, Patton can slap our whole darned regiment, one by one — see? He can line us up and knock us in a heap, and we will still bounce along after him. You know why? Because he knows how to fight, that's why, and we like guys who know how to fight. A ranchman living alone in deep Wyoming claims to have the smartest horse in the world. "Here a while back," he recalls, "I slipped and broke a laig. And do you know what that horse done?" "Tucked you in bed, no doubt," hazarded a dude, "applied the anesthetic and set the splints." "Well, he drug me t' my bunk and then run five miles to fetch a doctor. But I got t' admit tho," the rancher-added grudgingly, "he did slip a mite. He fetched back a horse doctor!" A styptic pencil is a small efficient instrument used by shavers and is around the bathroom somewhere. While you're looking for it the bleeding usually stops and the cut heals. Bill was limping badly. "What's up," asked the foreman; "hurt yourself?" "No; got a nail in my foot," replied Bill. ' "Why don't you take it out, then?" asked the foreman. "What—on my lunch hour?" A new patient at a sanitarium for the mildly deranged complained to the attending physician: "What's the idea sticking me in a room with that crazy guy over there?" "Well, I'll tell you,"' said the doctor placatingly, "it's the only room we have available just now. Is your roommate troublesome?" "Why, the guy's crazy. He keeps looking around and saying, 'No lions, no tigers, no elephants'—and all the time the room's full of 'em." An artist was employed to renovate and retouch some oil paintings in an old church in Belgium and on presenting his bill for $67.28, was informed that an itemized statement was required; so the following was duly presented: For correcting the Ten Commandments ..................................$5.12 For renewing heaven and adjusting the stars ................................................................7.12 For touching up purgatory and restoring the lost souls ........................3.05 For brightening up the flames of hell, putting a new tail on the devil, and doing odd jobs for the damned ................................................................7.17 For putting a new stone in David's sling and arranging Goliath's head ................................................................6.13 For mending the shirt of the Prodigal Son and cleaning his ear .........................................1............3.39 For putting a new ribbon on Pilate's bonnet ................................................................3.02 For putting a new tail and comb on St. Peter's rooster ................................2.20 For regilding the left wing of the Guardian Angel ....................................................5.18 For putting carmine on the left cheek of the servant of the high priest ..........................*........10.30 For taking the spots off the son of Tobias ........................................................................5.02 For putting earrings in Sarah's ears ............................................................................................5.26 For mending the roof of Noah's ark, and putting a new head on Shem ..........................................4.31 Total ......................................$67.28 With television just around the corner, it will soon be, "Why not call me up and see me some time?"

LETTERS OF THANKS During the past few weeks, daily, notes of thanks for their gifts have been received from our boys in the Services. The general theme of all letters seems to be, that the present was the best one they have obtained since heir induction. Truly, the fellows realize their spiritual needs but do not go about broadcasting them. We sincerely accept their thanks and ask God that the day of victory might soon be here. Till we meet again, we send God's choicest blessings on each and every serviceman of St. Mary's. would have hit it wJ/J You can't »e Take it from a >"' ,! Muzic: "You can t ^ s and smpke."

In the rear of the school, an outdoor asphalt basketball court was built. Of course, the job is incomplete; since the essentials of the game, the Backboards and baskets are still missing. Nevertheless, Father Celesnik air-mailed a letter to the "Recreation Equipment Company," in Indiana purchasing the necessary equipment. Before long, we will witness our youngsters tiring out themselves with that wonderful outdoor sport. To show our appreciation for the improvements, let us give greater consideration towards the use of our parish property. Cooperation of all must be had, if we expect to succeed in doing this. THE YOUNG AGAINST THE OLD Yes, sir, if you were on our field Sunday afternoon at about 3:30 P. M-j you would have witnessed a grand game of baseball. (Slovenian equivalent is Ballham.) The councilmen of St. Mary's Church played against their young sons, the boys ranging in age from 10 to 15 years. What a game! Wihy, the neighbors, sitting on their. porches, laughed themselves sick as they observed the oddities of those older gentlemen. Mr. Supanich claims that he wasn't in shape until Jhe last half of the seventh inning, i'neidently, the end of the game. One spectator says that he had only two kinds of pitches—the weasel ball (low pitch) and the ba-loon ball (high pitch). You should have seen that powerful swing Mr. Kocln took at that ball.
