Leaders as Well As the Members of the Newly Formed Group Impressed by Efficiency of Silver Foxes Nineteen boys of the Slovene school in Newburgh have an- swered the initial call for form¬ ing the basis of a new Boy Scout troop vvhich is being formed now. Nineteen boys have answered and received their first formal Scouting m- struction and the applications for joining the troop are mount- ing daily as the idea and the plan for establishing a troop Is being sprcad. Start Scouting Last Tuesday the boys have met for the first time and have been introduced to the Scout program with the initial tying of knots and some instruction on the Scout preparatory to becom- ing Tenderfoot Sčoucs. The meet ing last Tuesday was under the supervision of Mr. Frank T. Su¬ hadolnik and under Mr. Anthony Suhadolnik the Scoutmaster of the future troop. Besides learning the knots and some of the preliminary things to being made a member of the Boy Scouts of America there was an informal talk on Scouting and what the Scout is and what is expected of him from his Scoutmaster and from (Continued on Page 2.)

Suhadolnik In answer to the knock on the hotel room 329 a pleasant voice invited the knockers to come in. Immediately after, the door vas flung open by a man of middle stature and a very impressive face that beamed with ■ delight at meeting of Slovene friends in America. The othervvise selemn face was soon transformed by one of his vvonderful smiles and the handshake was so expressive that one felt that he has knovvn the man for a long series of years. His smile and his hand¬ shake are the things that one re- members most vividly from the initial meeting. With stories of the temper- ments of the opera stars one was uneasy at making up his mind at meeting a member of German Grand Opera Company vvhich is now touring the United States. Yet one felt after meet¬ ing Dr. Max Adrian that stories of the temperments of the opera stars are a matter of publicity created in the minds of imagin- ative publicity agents for effect. There was a simplicity about Dr. Max Adrian tenor of the German Grand Opera that was disarming. An interest in ali of the things that make up Amer¬ ican life and especially the life of American Slovenes are the ties, that have made, what could have been an ordeal, a very plea,sant afternoon. With his ldndness that shovv- ed from out of his eyes Dr. Max Adrian quickly granted an ex- DR. MAX ADRIAN clusive interview from the Cleve¬ land Journal. Studies English en Route Dr. Max Adrian has been in this country 20 days before he came to Cleveland and has been appearing in the city of Wash- ington, D. C. when the Opera Company played performances there. And yet in the twenty days he has been .able to get an English vocabulary which would astonish the ordinary person. He was very much interested and surprised at the immensity of American life, and American undertakings. His first s.ir- prise came when he saw New York from the harbor and stili more surprised when he vas guest in New York. He vvas surprised at the magnitude ot American undertakings and th< vastness of American life vvhich he has characterized as very practical instead of idealistic. Dr. Max Adri&n vva? born in the Village of St. Peter in the part that vvas iormerly known as Štajersko, Slovenija now a part of Jugoslavia. From his yout'n he has been very much in¬ terested in singing and grand opera vvas his ambition. His vi- sions and ambitions from the earliest youth vvas to appear in the role of some operatic char- acter or another. Parential Objections But his ambitions vvere not to realized as it may be thought. Practically utility and a securi- ty of position are the things vvhich every Slovene fatffer in- sists for his son. So it vvas also vvith Dr. Max Adrian. The un- certainty of singing as a Pro¬ fessional made his father demur at the idea of singing as a per- raanent career. To War and Back After Dr. Max Adrian had finished his collegiate courses at the Gymnasium in Maribor he decid^d to study medicine at the University of Vienna, vvhich he finished in 1920. While he vvas in the medica! school the World War broke out and he vvith his companions vvent to vvar from the very beginning but even in the army he was active so that when the close came in 1918 he (Continued on Page 2.)

The change of publica- tion is made for the service of our readers as vveil as the af- fairs that take plače. The change cf publication date also changes the time at vvhich the nevvs articies must be in the office if they are to be given attention. The time limit is therefore extended to Wednesday noon instead of Tuesday evening.

If shouting and loud demonstrations are signs of citizens (ban the Slovenes as much are a terrible loss. But citizenship is not taased on loud talk but on actions and they speak louder than words what type of citizens Slovenes are. CLEVELAND, OHIO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16th, 1931 We Čast Be Proti d. I If there was a tendenc.y of having a sv/elled head or a habit of holding an expanded chest, the Slovenes of Cleveland and of America for that matter can.be justly proud. Happily that is not the way to do it. Yet they are proud of two things that have been uncovered by the lc-cal papers during the past week. The one, that Laura LaPlant is Slovene at least in part and the other that Dr. Max Adrian is a member of the German Grand Opera Company have come as surprises to the Slovenes so that they can be justly proud that they are Slovenes. In the one čase Laura LaPlante a world known actress of the .film and aceded tc be one of the outstanding stars of shadowy stage and the other a Slovene of Europe whose artistry has been recognized and ae- cepted, as a member of the eompany to tour America in some ol the most famous operas of the world should be reasons enough to fill anyone’s chest v/ith pride. The two names are a sufficient answer to any objection that the Slovenes are not cultured enough to take their plače among the other people of the United States. With the uncovery, every E-X ILrbris Dr. MAX ADRIAN (Continuea from Page 1) was the possessor of a lieuten- •ants commission.

Rooks: Their Plače in a Demo- cracv. ror, Mr. Duffus feels warranted in coneluding that we are not a book-reading nation. “Mr. Duffus in his first para- graph makes the striking asser- tion that the American puhlic buys annually not more than two books for each man, woman and child in the country, and pays for these books not more than one-half of one per cent of its income. Compared with oui } national outlay on motor cars, movies and radio, book purchas- es do not seem to bulk large. 1 Some have replied to Mr. Duff- j Slovene can be justly satisfied that the knowledge of the plače that Slovenes can take along with other nationalities. We as Slovenes aro proud that we can plače the names on the list and say they are Slovenes. How Are We? Things in the past especially in the political circles have been brought to such a pass that people who claim that they are des- cendantg from Europeans have been classed as loreigners and are lot fit to be called Amerieans. Tliis in spite of the fact that they •rave fulfilled ali the requirements that entitle them to citizenship The prime essentials of citizenship are industry and a vvilline ness to accept the responsitaiiities vvhich are the natura! right and duty of every one who is a Citizen of the country. It does not in- clude the fact that one should run around professing in a louc tone that ali of the predecessors have the smeli of the Mayflowei on them nor yet trying to make the impression that they ave ’ something that they are' not and try to cover it by mere sham and a loud voice. Among the essentials which may be classed as the things that really count as citizenship essentials are the v/illingness to co- opevate with those who represent them in government and to ac¬ cept the responsibilities of establishing themselves in such a way as to be a sour.ce of reliability to the eountry. Manners and cus- toms which are the residue of the civilization which has been given up in preference for the new country are of no account v/hen citizenship papers vvere grantcd. Do you pledge allegience id tho United States? And aside from that there v/er e no strings attached. The Slovenes of America have proven their citizenship in the faee of the objections of the people who are narrow enough to think that a person cannot be a good Citizen -even if he does not subscribe to ali the foolishness that is proposed. There is in the heart of every Slovene man and woman an ambition to ov/n a home and have that home populated witb their own kind. What greater argument is needed that the Slo¬ venes make excellent citizens even if they are styled as foreign- ers. Percapita there are more private ovvners of their ovvn homes than practically any other nationality. If citizenship is based on something solid such as home ovvnership and acocpting .the re¬ sponsibilities of naturalization that the Slovenes can be proud that they are among the highest kind of citizens not taking in the us that psop 1 e who live where books are not readily obtained cannot be expected to buy them; but of eourse, that is the very thing in question. Are theii .places in this country where books are not supplied for pros- pective buyers? Have the pub- lisbers failed to reach, througb their distribution systems large sections of the population ? That is one thing that is hopsd to be taken čare of. The young woman in the story already h a d a book, so why give her another ! Mr. Duffus is in- terested in finding how general - iy we are alreadv supplied \vith books in one way or another. Be- sides the two volumes that the statistical Citizen buys everv year, there are two that he bor- rovvs from the puhlic library (and either refurns ur pays a fine), two that he is supposed to hire from the rent sl libraries and one that he begs (on prom- ise of return) from some unsus- pecting friend or relative. That That, ho v: ver is not as seri- ous an indietment of American intelligence as it might seem. Mr. Duffus liimself is free to admit that to discuss America’« reading vvithoi.it taking account of the development of magazines and nevvspapers would be unfair He says “The higher type magazine certai.ily have more to do vvith raising the level of our thinking and feeling than have perhaps 50 percent ofj, ali books published.” Yrt he as 3 um<-b (samely, vve think) that a na- tion’s rise in li ! erary culture is revealed in books. inations and the internship vvhich is praeeribed as part of the eourse. At the completion of the eourse he has never open- ed a practice, he immediatelj vvent to the opera and has had a very successful career there.

Editor For three years Jurčič tried his hand at various pursuits in Vienna in a desperate effort to complete his studies but to no avail, it vvas impossible for hira to succeed.In 1868 he gave it up as a bad j ob and said farewell to tie tmiversity city as a študent. He se- cured a position at the newiy established “Slovanski Narod” (Slovene Nation). In 1870 he was again in Vienna not as a študent, but, as helpcr to Stritar the “Zvon” and if possible to continue his studies. The latter he never realized. In the fali of the same year his condition financia.lly was so poor that he vvas forced again to leave Vienna and apply for the posi¬ tion of co-editor of the “Sudslavvische Zeitung” which began to appear in the beginning of 1871. V/hen.the editor of the Slovenski Narod suddenly died in May of 1871 Jurčič vvas chosen to succeed him. In the mid- dle of July, Jurčič came to Maribor, in the follovving year he moved vvith the paper to Ljubljana. Renevved vvork Through ali of the time it took Jurčič to find a plače for himself the literary vvork rested. Especially after the time his effort vvith the Slovenski Glasnik failed in 1869 and the “Zvon” ceased publication in 1870. Practically ali of his narrative work of this time is written in a hurried style and has the form of in- dividual contributions. This is also no ti c e d in the longer novels of the time. “Sin kmetskega cesarja” (Son of the peasant emperer) vvritten in 1869 and “Ivan Erazem Tatenbach” vvritten in 1873 have signs of the hurried and forced v/ork. In 1877 the Seri.es and the Slovene Literary ceased to function and Jurčič’,s “Lepa Vida” was published in the same year in Stritar’s “Zvon”. Lepa Vida vvas vvritten in the style of the folk tales and he suoceede.d in showing his artistry in the fine character pictures and in the descripticn of the locale vvhich is laid in the shores of the Adriatic near and about the city of Devin. In the meantime Jurčič completed the “Cvet in sad” (Blossom and Fruit) vvhich he laid aside more than nine years previously. It appeared in the lasi. vohune of “Slovenska knjižnica” series. Originally he had planned to close the story vvith a tragic end bui Slovene Library at When in 1876, the “Zvon” began to appear again in Vienna, Jurčič established the Slovene Library pu- blieations in Ljubljana. In the series that came from its presses are found in the same year two of JurcicL novels: “Doktor Zober” “Med dvema štolama” (Be- tween twd chairs) and the tragedy “Tugomir”. “Do¬ ktor Zober”,is constructed on the style of Deseti Brat and, in fact, has the name of one of the characters vvho plays an important part in the subplot and furnished the background to the maln plot and love theme. There is more artistry expressed in the novel “Med dvema štolama” a realistk; picture of the life of the educated few among the peasant class. The basis for the dramatic “Tugomir” is taken from the history of the struggle of the ancient Slavs vvith the Frank s in Sasa. Jurčič began to vvrite the play in 1870 v/ith the trochee but ccmpleted it first in prose. Upon the advi.ee of Levstik and vvith his help he changed the meter to the iambic and succeeded in making the vvhole much more finished and rounded both in the construction and in character delincaticn. upon advice and reccmmendations of his friends he changed it to a “happy ending” vvithout changing any- thing of the style or changing the action of the play in anyway. In the meanvvhile he vvas busy vvith gather- ing material for the ensuing vvorks vvhich he had in- tended to complete. The outline for the comedy “Oli¬ kani Slovenec” vvas ready and he vvas getting the de- tails for the novel, “Nemški naseljenec” (The German Immigrant) and the novel, “Baron Paravic” ali the time he vvas busy vvith a “tri-ple decker” historical novel “Slovenski svetec in učitelj” of vvhich he finish¬ ed only the first part. For the Mohor Society he vvrote the. humorous monograph “Kako je Kotarjev Peter pokoro delal, ko je krompir kradel” (Hovv Peter did his Penance for .Stealing Potatces) and the educational story, “Ponarejeni bankovci” (Forged Money). men. Stritar noticed this and vvith oncoming felt that he vvould discontinue the publication of “Zvon” in 1880. As soon as this vvas discovered Ji decided that he, vvith the company of ItersniM and Tavčar vvould establish a literary paper in bljana. With the Nevv Year 1881 the first edP the “Ljubljanski Zvon” made its first appearan ce corporating the ideals of the Vienna Zvon ' more modern style.

The Saints popped in more goals, one of them a charity toss by Knaus, outscor- ing the Sokols five to three. But they missed ali of their foul shots, sixteen in number. On the other hand, the Sokols, tal¬ lied, five out of fourteen times from the line. Lefty Ann Gas¬ parič starred with four points, threw the winning basket and played a good defensivq gamo.. Klopec, Knaus and Slaper fig- ured in the other scoring. Molly Knaus, Sokol center, flushed the intense fierceriess of the game, received a pass, and pjto- ceeded to score for the St. Anns. “Whitey” Doljack’s neat pass- ing and ali around floor work was a feature of the game.
