Ameriški mornariški department je te dni naznanil, da je vhod v ta zaliv močno zavarovan z minami, ki tvorijo resno nevarnost vsaki sovražni ladji, ki bi se na tern kraju približala obrežju. Poleg tega je v ozkem prelivu Golden Gate, ki tvori vhod v zaliv, nameščena mreža, v katero je mora ujeti vsaka sovražna podmornica, ki bi se skušala vtihotapiti v zaliv. VOJAŠKA SLUŽBA V obeh zbornicah zveznega kongresa je bila sprejeta predloga, ki določa, da' se v bodoče ne kliče k obveznemu vojaškemu vežbanju registrirancev, ki so bili 1. julija letos stari 28 let ali več. V senatu je bila tudi sprejeta predloga, da sme ameriški mornariški department obdržati v službi čez običajna tri leta vse bodoče mornariške prostovoljce, in sicer za dobo vojne nevarnosti. IMENOVANJA SODNIKOV Nikak predsednik Združenih držav od Washingtona naprej ni imenoval toliko sodnikov vrhovnega sodišča kot sedanji predsednik Roosevelt. S povišanjem sodnika Harlan Fiske Stoneja na mesto vrhovnega sodnika najvišjega sodišča Združenih držav in imenovanjem senatorja James F. Byrne-sa in generalnega pravdnika Roberta H. Jacksona za sodnika-prisednika, je predsednik Roosevelt dosegel sedmo imenovanje za vrhovno sodišče. Toliko imenovanj ni napravil nikak prejšnji predsednik razun Washingtona, ki jih je imenoval enajst tekom svojega osemletnega predsednikovanja. Ker so člani vrhovnega sodišča, najvišje pravosodne oblasti v deželi, imenovani dosmrtno in more njih služba končati le s smrtjo ali ostavko, večina predsednikov, celo onih, ki so drugič izvoljeni, i m a priliko imenovati le nekoliko izmed njih. Kakor je vrhovno sodišče sedaj sestavljeno, s svojim polnim članstvom devetih sodnikov, obstoja od sledečih: Glavni sodnik je Stone, ki je izvirno bil imenovan sodnikom od predsednika Coolidgea; sodniki-prised-niki pa so: Owen J. Roberts, imenovan od predsednika Hooverja, ter Hugo Black, Stanley Reed, Felix Frankfurter, William O. Douglas in Frank Murphy, ki so bili vsi imenovani od Roosevelta, in zraven dva zadnjič imenovana sodnika Byrnes in Jackson. V očeh mnogih pravniških strokovnjakov ima vrhovno sodišče Združenih držav večjo oblast kot katero drugo slično sodišče na svetu. Ono je zares ameriška izvirna ustanova in v toku ameriške zgodovine so njegove odločbe igrale važno vlogo za usmerjenje ameriškega razvoja. Vrhovno sodišče je bilo ustanovljeno od kongresa 1. 1789. Podlaga za njegovo ustanovitev je bila v predgovoru konstitucije, kjer je rečeno, da ena izmed njenih svrh je “zagotoviti pravico.” In tako je bilo v III. članu konstitucije ustanovljeno federalno pravosodje kot panoga vlade in pravosodna oblast Združenih držav je bila poverjeno vrhovnemu sodišču in takim nižjim sodiščem, ki utegnejo biti ustanovljena. Za prvo vrhovno sodišče je bilo določeno članstvo enega vrhovnega hodnika in petih sodni-kov-prisednikov. L. 1807 je bilo članstvo povečano na sedem, 1. 1837 na devet in 1. 1863 na deset. L. 1869 pa je bilo število zopet znižano na devet, kar je ostalo do sedaj. Večinski sklep sodišča je pra-voveljaven in more biti spremenjen le potom protivnega sklepa sodišča samega. Zato so kritiki od časa do časa ugovarjali, češ da petorica ali celo četvori-ca mož ima oblast izreči, da-li so zakoni veljavni ali ne. L. 1935 in 1936, ko so mnogi Rooseveltovi zakoni prišli pred odločbo sodišča, je več njih bilo proglašenih za neustavne vsled sodnega sklepa 5 proti 4. Nastala so ostra razpravljanja med prijatelji in nasprotniki New Deal-a. Napredni elementi so protestirali proti konservativni večini sodišča, češ da se ne zna prilagoditi novim časom, ko je treba liberalizma, da se rešijo pereča socialna vprašanja. Vsled te agitacije je predsed-(Dalja na 4. strani* DALJAVESE KRČIJO Ko so prišli v porabo vlaki in avtomobili, se je zdelo, da je dosežen višek v brzini transpor-tacije. Brzina vlakov in avtomobilov se ie postopoma zviševala in danes vozijo nekateri vlaki do sto milj na uro. Tudi avtomobili zmorejo tako in še večjo brzino, toda se je navadno ne poslužujejo, razen v tekmah. Povprečna brzina 50 milj na uro se smatra za precej dobro, tako pri vlakih kot pri avtomobilih. Z razvojem letal smo dobili mnogo hitrejše transportacijsko sredstvo. Dvesto ali tristo milj na uro ni nikaka posebna brzina za letala, saj vemo, da nekatera letala zmorejo nad 400 milj na uro. In ni dvoma, da se dosegajo ali še bodo dosegali še večji rekordi v brzini. žal, da so dandanes razmere take, da se izboljšanja letal vršijo večinoma z ozirom na vojne ali obrambne potrebe. Pa ni za pomagati, dokler divja vojna ali dokler obstoja nevarnost iste. Letalo je še primeroma mlado transportacijsko sredstvo. Dne 17. decembra 1903 je bilo prvič dokazano, da more leteti po zraku po človeških rokah izdelan stvor, ki je težji od zraka. Ta prvi polet je bil sicer kratek in letalo je bilo primitivno, toda začetek je bil storjen. Dne 27. junija 1941 pa se je v Californiji dvignila k poskusni vožnji prava trdnjava, letalo, imenovano Douglas B-19. Polet se je izvršil brez vsake hibe in neprilike. To letalo, ki je največje na svetu, je vojaški bombnik, ki tehta s polnim tovorom okrog 80 ton. Potniško letalo takega tipa bi moglo nositi 125 potnikov, obenem s posadko. Za pogonsko silo skrbe štirje motorji, dovolj močni za pogon 10,000-tonskega parnika. Letalo lahko razvije hitrost nad 200 milj na uro, nosi s seboj toliko gasolina, kolikor ga vsebuje tank železniške kare ter zamore brez pristanka poleteti iz Amerike preko Atlantika v zapadno Evropo in nazaj. Stroški gradnje tega orjaka znašajo okrog tri in pol milijona dolarjev, in, če bi ga gradil en sam mož po osem ur na dan, bi ga vzelo tisoč let, da bi svoje delo dovršil. Oceani za taka letala niso več nikaka resna zapreka. Bombniki takega kalibra lahko prizadenejo sovražniku ogromno škodo in bi lahko v dovoljnem številu prenesli velike armade tisoče milj daleč. OKUPACIJA ICELANDA Parlament Islandije ali Ice-landa je odobril ameriško okupacijo otoka za čas vojne. Regent dežele je obvestil poslance, da sta tako Anglija kot Amerika zagotovili Islandijo, da je okupacija samo začasna, dokler traja vojna. ZA VRSTNI RED Iz Washingtona se poroča, da je četrtek 17. julija določen za žrebanje ali dviganje številk registrirancev za obvezno vojaško službo, ki so do 1. julija dosegli 21. leto starosti in so se istega dne registrirali. To žrebanje bo določilo, po kakem vrstnem redu bodo registriran-ci klicani v armado. PO STRAHU VESELJE Ko so se dne 1. julija ameriškemu parniku Excambion na odprtem morju približali vojaški aeroplani, je zavladala med mnogimi potniki panika, ker so mislili, da jih zasledujejo nemška letala. Toda, ko se je izkazalo, da so letala ameriška, se je strah izpremenil v veselje. Potniki, med katerimi so bili (Dalje na 4. strani) PROTEKCIJA ICELANDA Pretekli teden smo čitali, da je oddelek ameriških mornariških vojakov prevzel protekcijo otoka Icelanda, ali kakor se u-radno imenuje Island, kar bi pomenilo v prevodu Ledeno zemljo. Otok Iceland leži v Severnem Atlantiku, skoro direktno severno od Anglije, in je približno tako velik kot naša država Kentucky; meri namreč 39,709 kvadratnih milj. Otok Iceland leži visoko na severu in je vsled tega le malo obljuden. Število prebivalstva znaša le 118,888. Glavno mesto je Reykjavik. Gorki morski tok, ki dosega ta severni otok, povzroča, da podnebje ni premrzlo. Kljub temu je le ena sedmina otoka obdelana. Prideluje se krompir, repa in seno. Važna industrija je ribištvo. Otok je vulkanskega izvora in iz ugaslih ognjenikov izvira vroča voda, ki jo prebivalstvo rabi za ogrevanje stanovanj in tudi za pridelovanje zelenjave, ki bi sicer tam ne uspevala. En sam gorki vrelec blizu Reykjavika daje do 200 galon vroče vode na minuto. Iceland je bil samostojna republika od leta 930 do 1263; tega leta se je otok pridružil Norveški. Iceland in Norveška sta prišla pod vlado Dansko leta 1361. Ko se je leta 1814 Norveška ločila od Danske, je Iceland ostal pod vlado slednje. Leta 1918 je Danska priznala Iceland za samostojno državo, ki je ostala združena z Dansko le po kralju; danski kralj Kristijan je bil tudi kralj Icelanda. Ko so 10. aprila 1940 Nemci zasedli Dansko, je Iceland pretrgal vse zveze z isto, in otok so 10. maja 1940 zasedle angleške čete, da preprečijo okupacijo istega po Nemcih. Iceland namreč nima nikake armade ali mornarice in nikakih utrdb. Značilno je, da državni proračun ni nikdar izkazoval primanjkljaja in da na otoku ni bilo brezposelnosti. Leta 1000 je Leif Ericson iz Icelanda odplul s svojimi jadrnicami proti zapadu in je odkril Ameriko. Ustanovil je kolonijo Vinland nekje v bližini sedanjega mesta New Bedford državi Massachusetts. Na-daljnega naseljevanja ni bilo in tako je prva evropska naselbina v Ameriki tekom let izginila. Krištof Kolumb je ponovno odkril Ameriko skoro pet stoletij pozneje. Zanimivo je, da ima Iceland najstarejšo parlamentarno vlado na svetu; to se pravi, parlamentarno vlado, ki neprestano traja od leta 930 naprej. V juniju leta 1930 so na Icelandu slovesno obhajali tisočletnico svojega parlamenta, ki ga imenujejo althing. Icelandski jezik se je v spisih in pesnitvah o-hranil čist tisoč let. Poleg tega jezika se precej rabi tudi danščina. V Reykjaviku je stara univerza in nepismenih ljudi na otoku skoro ni. Po veri so Icelandčani večinoma evangeličani, toda na otoku vlada popolna verska svoboda. Moški in ženske, nad 21 let stari, imajo volilno pravico. Najvišja oblast je parlament. Dokler so Icelandčani priznavali danskega kralja za svojega kralja, je ime! kralj pravico imenovati mini stre, ki pa so mogli zavzeti svoje urade le, če jih je odo bril parlament. Tako je bila vlada popolnoma v rokah ljudstva, Denarna enota Icelanda je krona, ki se je do zadnjega ča (Dalje na 4. strani) ALI SE ZGODOVINA PONOVI? VSAK PO SVOJE ZBLIŽANJE Z JUGOM Pred sedanjo vojno so turisti iz Zedinjenih držav vsako leto v velikem številu posečali Evropo. Istotako so hodili študenti iz Zedinjenih držav študirati na sloveče evropske univerze in druge inštitucije. Znanstvenikom, študentom in trgovcem republik Centralne in Juž ne Amerike so bile tudi evropske države nekako bližje kot naša republika. Vojna je vse to predrugačila Turisti iz Zedinjenih držav, ki se ne zadovoljujejo z obiski zanimivih krajev naše dežele, po-sečajo v vedno večjem številu sosedne republike južno od Rio Grande. Trgovci, ki so izgubili odjemalce v Evropi, jih skušajo nadomestiti z odjemalci v Centralni in Južni Ameriki. Tr govci iz sosednih republik pa (Dalje na 4. strani) Do skrajnosti razburjeni svet je danes priča gigantskemu boju med dvema velikanoma, med Rusijo in Nemčfjo. Nemčija ima neoporečno najboljšo armado današnjega časa, Rusija pa je mnogo večja po ozemlju, po prebivalstvu, po surovinah in tudi po številu vojaštva. Sicer se je zadnja leta mnogo pisalo o slabi izvežbanosti, slabi opremi in slabemu vodstvu ruske vojske, toda v resni vojni se ruska armada dosedaj še ni imela prilike izkazati. Natančnih podatkov glede velikosti in kakovosti ruske vojske nima nihče izven Rusije, torej so lahko gornja domnevanja resnična ali pa ne. Potek prvih dveh tednov rusko-nemške vojne daje misliti, da ruska armada ni čisto od muh. Angleži javno priznavajo, da se Rusi borijo mnogo boljše kot je svet pričakoval, in indirektno, med vrstami, včasih to pripoznajo tudi Nemci sami. Kdo ve, če tudi Hitler ni podcenjeval ruske moči, kakor so jo podcenjevali trije znameniti osvojevalci pred njim. Leta 1706 je švedski kralj Karol XII. napovedal vojno Rusiji in marširal s 46,000 mož broječo, dobro izvežbano in opremljeno armado iz Lipske-ga v Ukrajino. Pripomniti je treba, da je bila Švedska takrat velesila, ne kakršna je danes. Ruske armade, ki so bile večje od švedskih, toda slabejše opremljene, so se umikale Švedi, uničevale vse za Seboj in pri vsaki priliki od strani napadale komunikacije sovražnika. Kadar koli so se Švedi in Rusi spoprijeli v boju, so bili Švedi zmagovalci, Rusi pa so se umaknili globočje v svojo ogromno delželo. Ko so tako oslabljene švedske čete, vedno bolj oddaljene od svojih zalog potrebščin, oblegale Pojtavo, globoko v Ukrajini, so Rusi z veliko premočjo planili nanje in jih skoro popolnoma uničili, švedski kralj Karol je komaj s 300 vojaki pobegnil v Turčijo, švedska si ni nikdar več opomogla od tega poraza in ni nikdar več veljala za vojaško važno velesilo. Dne 22. junija 1812 je napovedal vojno Rusiji francoski cesar Napoleon, ki je imel takrat pod svojo oblastjo skoro vso Evropo, z izjemo Anglije in Rusije. Njegov namen je bil najprej podjarmiti Rusijo, da ne bo imel neprijatelja za hrbtom, nato pa z vso silo navaliti na Anglijo, katera mu je do takrat vsak poskus invazije preprečila. Situacija je bila takrat za Napoleona zelo po^ dobna situaciji, katera obdaja danes Hitlerja. Napoleon je marširal v Rusijo z armado 400,000 dobro oboroženih in pre iskušenih vojakov. Rusi so imeli samo 300,000 mnogo slabše obo roženih vojakov. Vršili so se mnogi boji, v katerih so sicer Francozi zmagovali, toda Rusi so se umikali in izvabljali sovražnika vedno bolj globoko v deželo. Sredi septembra so bili Francozi v Moskvi, toda Rusija ni bila premagana. Pred umikom iz Moskve so Rusi odpelja li ali uničili vse, kar bi bilo mo glo koristiti sovražniku, nakar so mesto zažgali. Velika francoska armada, ni upala iti za Rusi globeje v Rusijo, od svojih zalog je bila preoddaljena in v Rusiji ni našla niti živeža niti obleke niti kuriva za vojake in ne krme za kdnje. Napoleon (Dalje na 8. strani) Vladi Zedinjenih držav se ne more očitati, da ne skrbi za udobnost svojih vojakov. Dobro jih hrani, dobro oblači, plačuje jih boljše kot katera koli druga država in svetu in tudi z dopusti ne skopari, če le razmere dovoljujejo. Zadnje dni, ko je preko naše republike valovila prava poletna vročina, je poslala nekaj vojaštva celo na Islandijo, odkoder se bodo lahko fantje smejali nam, ko se bomo cvrli v pasjednevni soparici. Iceland ali Islandija je otok visoko gori v severnem Atlantiku, in že samo ime Ledena zemlja pomeni, da je kraj priporočljiv za poletne počitnice. * Filipinci, ki so dolga leta moledovali za popolno samostojnost, katero jim je ameriški kongres tudi obljubil za leto 1943, so zdaj nenadoma utihnili, in se kar bojijo obljub\jene samostojnosti. Skrbeti jih je namreč začelo, kako se bodo zadržali sosedi Japonci, ko bo zvezdnata zastava izginila s Filipinov in ko bodo ameriške vojne ladje zapustile filipinska pristanišča. Pred ameriško zastavo in ameriškimi vojnimi ladjami imajo Japonci čudovit rešpekt. ■v Italija je teoretično tudi v vojni z Rusijo. Napovedala ji je vojno tik za petami Nemčije, ker ji pač drugače ni kazalo. Toda v isti sapi je.Mussolini hitel izjavljati, da Italija ne bo čet J'ueka iron*, to, ker je predaleč. Iz Italije na rusko fronto sicer ni tako silno daleč, če se računa na prevoz z vlaki. Ampak salamensko daleč bi bilo, če bi morali italijanski junaki peš bežati iz ruskih step v sončno Makaronijo. In to zadnjo možnost je najbrž imel Mussolini v mislih. •y- Po nemških poročilih se ruski vojaki borijo kot fanatiki. To seveda Nemce jezi in jim ni zameriti. Hitler je imenoval Ruse izmeček človeštva, zdaj so pa čete izvoljenega nemškega naroda pronašle, da so prav na ruski fronti naletele na odločnejši odpor kot kje drugje v Evropi. ¥ V Zedinjenih državah je 60 ribjih valilnic, ki so v upravi zveznega poljedelskega depart-menta in ki vsako leto pošljejo milijone malih ribic na pašo v potoke, reke in jezera te dežele. V letošnjem maju je bilo iz teh ribjih valilnic razposlanih 274 milijonov takih ribjih piščancev. Predno bodo ameriški ribiči vse te ribe polovili, bo dosti veselja in zabave, pa tudi dosti kletvic. * Chicažan Gerald Callahand, ki je bil nedavno pozvan v armado, je pred odhodom prosil prijatelje, naj mu pogostoma pišejo in dolga pisma. Prijatelji so mu po možnosti ustrezali, za praznik 4. julija pa so mu hoteli napraviti surprise in so mu združenimi močmi napisali in odposlali 340 čevljev dolgo pismo. Če ga je fant že prečital, poročilo ne pove. V Clevelandu, Ohio, je bil te dni aretiran zaradi bigamije neki Herman Kemp, rojen v Nemčiji, pa mnogo let bivajoč v Zedinjenih državah. Na policijski postaji je mož, ki je drugače jako ugleden, pobožen in spoštovan, priznal, da ima res dve poročeni ženi, da pa sam ne more razumeti, zakaj je poročil še drugo ženo, ne da bi se bil prej (Dalje na 4. strani) 'ifA JUMBLED PROVERB i and Ude wait for no A LADDER PUZZLE THE MAGIC CARPET JUVENILE PAGE The Human Missile When Berry Groves slipped on 9. wet log spanning a little gully and broke his leg he created a serious problem. “It would be easy enough to get you down to Dover if it were not for the falls,” said Walter Sparks, Berry’s companion on their camping expedition in the north woods. “You could just lie comfortably in the bottom of the canoe and float all the way. But I don’t see how I could carry you around the portage without hurting you badly and maybe making that leg a lot worse.” Berry was lying in his bunk in the little log cabin. Though in much pain he was his usual calm self. “The only thing to do, Walt,” he said, “is for you to leave me here and go to Dover for help. You can bring Dr. Poster back with you, he can set my leg properly and then you can make a stretcher upon which the two of you can carry me on the portage.” Walter hated to leave Berry in a helpless condition but it seemed the only thing to do. So he made Berry as comfortable as he could, left plenty of food and water within his reach, and started on his thirty-mile journey down the river to Dover, the first settlement “I’ll get there by night,” he told; Berry, “and we’ll be back here tomor-1 row afternoon.” "All right,” answered Berry, cheer : fully. “Don’t worry about me. You’ll j find me waiting for you as chipper as j ever when you come.” But Walter was worried and he put forth every effort to make speed. Launching his canoe, he struck for the middle of the river, where the current i was swifter. Propelled by the current and his own efforts with the paddle he 1 paddle to the shore in this current before I should be swept over the falls.” It was a dismal outlook but Walter was not one to give up easily. Besides, there was only his own safety to think about. There was Berry lying helpless in the cabin. Unless he had proper medical care and food he could not live. Walter set himself to look about the islet. It was so small that it didn't take long to cover it. He found nothing that offered him help, though a fairly thick growth of trees would provide him with timber if he could use it. His hatchet was still in the canoe and there was also a good length of strong rope that had not been washed out. He could make a raft, but that would serve him no better, if as well, as the mended canoe. Then Walter turned his attention to the river. Perhaps a study of that would give him an idea. On one side of the current spread, foaming and tumbling, from the islet to the opposite shore. Clearly he could not hope to cross on that side. But on the other side the current ran close to the island and there was a space of comparatively slow water between the swift, tumbling water and the mainland. “If I could only get beyond the swift current and into that slow water,” thought Walter, “I could swim to shore before the current could carry me over the falls.” He sat down to think. For a long time nothing in the least promising emerged from the jumble of his mind. Then slowly an idea took shape. A strange idea but the only one that offered any hope at all. Walter jumped up, ran to the canoe THE CHALLENGE Say, kids, this meetin’s to decide if we are goin’ to play That Hickstown bunch that challenged us to meet ’em yesterday, j They ain’t much punkins when they’re up against a team like ouis ;; But guess there ain’t so many teams with just our battin’ pow’rs.

Henry Horn-Bill Walter Stood On The Limb Stumps, With His Back Against.The Trunk. made rapid progress. Then he came to the La Chance rapids that terminated in the Mercy Falls. Ordinarily he would have left the river about four miles above the falls, for the current here grew very swift and the river was thick with jagged rocks. But because he was in such a hurry he decided that he would shoot the rspids to Mitchell’s Landing, the last safe spot to go ashore. The bolder of the trapper would sometimes stick to their t moes until they made Mitchell’s Landii: ?, but most of them left the river abreast of the landing. Then despite his before that. All went well until he was almost strain ig muscles, the tearing current whlpp d his canoe about and carried it smash against a sharp edged rock. A great hole was torn in the side of the frail craft and in a moment Walter was in the water. H clung to one end of the canoe which did not quite sink, and tried to paddl? with the other arm so as to drive a to the shore. But the current was tr9 much for him. It whirled him along at Its own good will and he could not manage to make any progress towards the shore. The » he thought of he falls, about a mile further on. At the rate he was going In would reach there in a few minutes. “Dp.U Island is my only chance,” he thought, and he set himself to strike the islet that lay in midstream about a quarter of a mile above the falls. In this he was successful. The cur-ernt whirled him in against one rocky shore and he grasped an overhanging branch and clung fast at the same time he kept his grip on the canoe. He thought he might, make use of it yet. But when after a hard struggle he had safely got ashore and drawn the wrecked canoe up so that it wouldn’t float away he found himself in a desperate situation. “There’s a h rcli tree,” he said to himself after he had rested a while, “and I could probably make shift to mend that tear in the canoe. But what good .would that do me? I couldn’t and got the hatchet and the rope. Then he moved along the high bank of the island studying the trees, he stopped when he found a tall straight hickory about four inches through at the height of his head, and standing between the bank and a much larger tree. Then he trimmed the branches from the standing trunk, leaving only short I stumps of six inches or so. Next he j passed his rope around the hickory about three feet from the top, carried it to the large tree about twelve feet away and back to the hickory. That gave him two strands between the two I trees. Now he in/‘rted a long pole between th« two strands and, with the help of ! another pole with a branch hook on the j end, began to turn it around and around. This twisted the rope, and the tension gradually bent the hickory in away from the river. Soon he had drawn j its top ten feet back. Walter decided to test his idea. He I found a length of log as heavy as he could handle, hoisted it up the hickory I and balanced it at the top upon the stumps of limbs. Then with his hatchet I he suddenely severed the rope where it I passed around the large tree. With a ;great “zoom”! the hickory sprang I straight and the log went flying out, landing In the slow Water well beyond \ the tearing surrent. Walter tied the break in the rope and again twisted it until the hickory was drawn back even further than before. Then he climbed the bent tree, j turned so that he faced the river as he ; stood on the limb stumps with his I back against the trunk, and suddenly brought his hatchet down on the rope. There was a jar that knocked the breath from his body. The hatchet flew j from his hand and he flew out over the water. He had just sense enough left to j manage a fair dive as he descended \ from his curved flight, i The shock of the cold water did some-: thing to restore his wits and he struck J out with all his strength for the shore. He reached it about a hundred yards I further down. But it was some time be-1 fore he had recovered enough from the Down in Borneo, where most of my folks live, they call me plain Horn-bill, and I suppose that’s as good a name as any, as my big, horny bill is the most prominent thing about me, and people wonder how I manage to hold it up. But it isn’t nearly as heavy as it looks, for the inside of it is light and porous, and is really more air than anything else. As I feed mostly on fruit that grows away put on the ends of the twigs, this long bill with its saw-like edge, comes in mighty handy for reaching and gathering it in. But what that horny growth on top is for. I’m sure I can’t tell you, unless it is put there for an ornament. I am rather a dumpy chap with short legs, and toes that are not very strong. It is my tail that I’m specially proud of, as it is different from the tails of most birds, being joined to the body by a socket and ball arrangement, so that I ean jerk it up and scratch the back of my head with it, something that mighty few birds can do. We have a curious habit of tossing our food up in the air and catching it as it falls; another thing that I can neither explain nor give a reason for, unless somn of our ancestors were baseball players, or jugglers in a circus, and we inherited the habit of throwing things up and catching them as they come down. We spend most of the time in the j tops of the tallest trees, and I can tell you, there are some tall ones in that country; but sometimes we sail down i to the ground for berries, and while; there we often catch and eat green j striped snakes that live in the grass— I snake meat being about the only kind | we care for. Now when it comes to clothes, you: may be surprised to learn that I dress j in plain black and white like a preach- j er, and leave the yellows, greens and the reds for the parrot tribe, who don’t have much taste about dressing, anyway. Now, after thinking the matter over, I have come to the conclusion that a woman’s place is at home, and if there is any roving around, and loafing in the sun to be done, the man of the family is plenty able to attend to it. As you may know, we make our nests-in the rotted out hollows of trees, and never dig our own holes as woodpeckers do. So when neštitig time comes, and it is the business of my mate to keep the I eggs warm by sitting on them, I take matters in my own hands, and see PUZZLE ANSWER “If I Didn’t Have My Bill I’d Have To I Buy A Trowel.” jarring he had received when he had ! acted as a missile so that he could con-: tinue his journey on foot. 1 It was almost evening of the next day when Walter and the doctor reach-1 ed the cabin. They found Berry with a high fever, but that, under the doc-j tor's care, had abated by morning. In another forty-eight hours they had t Berry safe in Dover. That was several years ago, but the hunters and trappers along the river still point out the stump of the hickory on Deal Island and tell with much pride of the clever youngsters that, part of the country produces. And Walter treasures a handsome gold watch that Berry’s father insisted upon giving him after the whole story was known. PUZZLE ANSWERS DROP NOUN VERSE Cloud, Sky, News, Master Grain, Rain.

I get some wet clay from the edge of some stagnant pool, and mix it with some half dried fruity matter, to make it stick, and plaster up the opening, so that she can’t get out, and there you are! I leave an open slit about where her head would be while sitting .on the eggs, big enough for her to p$ce her bill through, but too small for a door. So there is nothing in the world for her to do, but sit there and keep the eggs warm, and push her bill through the slit when she gets hungry. I am good about that, and feed her regularly three times a day. I swallow the fruit first, and by the time I reach the home tree, it is partly digested, and comes up in little pills, which I flip from my bill to hers. As she is not taking, any exercise, I keep her on a | diet, and njake it a rule not to give her very many pills at a meal. When the eggs hatch, and I hear the babies crying for something to eat, I get busy and break down the mud wall, and the mother is glad to get out where she can stretch her wings. Then I close up the opening as,before, just leaving a slit for the youngsters to push their bills out when being fed. When they are nearly grown, I break the wall again and let them out in the sunshine, and we give them lessons in finding their own food, and it is not long befoi% they are tossing up fruit and berries and catching them as they fall, just as if they had been playing ball all their lives and the funny part is, they never “muff” a ball. When doing this plastering work, I use my bill for patting and smoothing it down, just as a mason uses his trowel; and if I didn’t happen to have a bill that answered the purpose, I suppose I’d have to buy a trowel. The reason we plaster up the young horn-bills hard and tight in the nest is not so much to keep them at home, as it is to protect them from four-legged < enemies that would like to eat them. As far as I knew we are the only birds that do this, and I think it is right smart of us too, don’t you? Take it altogether, we have a happy, care-free life in our forests ho(ne, and if it wasn’t for the natives of the coun- j try, who -are forever wanting our tail i feathers, we would have little to fear, i If not disturbed, we use the same hoi- j low tree yepr-after-year, and become as much attached to it, as you do to your home. Sometimes it happens that the male bird is killed by a hunter, while his mate is sitting, and all plastered up so she cun’t get out, so she pushes her bill through the slit and tells the world that she is starving. It is not long be- j fore some other male hears her cries, j and knows exactly what’s the matter, so j he carries food regularly to the im- | prisoned widow, and if she likes his j looks when she Is let out, they mate,1 and live happily ever after, j PROVERB CUT-OUT rt) )> Tommy is hurrying home from the stoic when he drops a Pr0',Cjjjj smashes it all to bits.

Boodbye Americans and remember “KEEP THEM FLYING” Anna Hiti, Lodge 144, AFU 1312 N. Center Street JOLIET, ILL. DEAR LITTLE STAN: The biggest thrill I ever got was when our lodge secretary, Mr. John Adamich, called and told us that he received a letter from Mr. Zbasnik stating that I qualified as delegate to the Fourth AFU Juvenile Convention. This is to be my first long trip and I am counting the days until I will board the train for Minnesota and the Home Office in Ely. My daddy, Frank Vranichar, is a Supreme Trustee and he is always telling us how wonderful and beautiful it is up North. So, is it any wonder that I am anxious to start on the trip? I am also looking forward to meeting a lot of the juvenile writers. I certainly am proud to belong to an organization such as the American Fraternal Union which gives its juveniles a chance to make a very interesting and educational trip to a great outdoor country as well as a chance to increase the membership of the AFU to allow others to gain the same benefits as those who are already members. I surely will have a lot to write about when I get back from the trip and will tell you all about it. I sincerely appreciate my daddy’s and Mr. Adamich’s help to obtain members so I could qualify as a delegate. Our summer vacation started June 14th and all of us were glad that we could have two and one half months of fun and rest. Anyway I think we are all glad when we can start school again to learn more and interesting things. But getting, back to vacation, I am a pretty busy girl practicing my lessons, learning to cook, bake, and sew and doing a lot of other things. The first time I baked Tea Cupcakes which, of course, mother helped me do, but the second time I baked cookies all myself. They tasted good but were so flat as a pancake. Mother said that if none of us got sick from them I could try my luck the third time. I like school so well that mother and daddy decided to let me go to summer school, not only because I like school but I think it will give me a review of my last year’s work and also help me do better seventh grade work into which I am going the next semester. On Sunday, June 22nd mother, my sister Bernadine, our twins, Francille and Franklin, and I went to the Chaney swimming pool. We all got a little sunburnt except mother who got twice as much, and is still suffering from the effects of it but she Intends to go out for more as soon as this heals. Mother expects to go to Ely and we are both going to make sure our bathing suits are in our bags when we leave. Mother was a delegate to the Athletic Convention two years ago. The Cole Brothers Circus came to town on June 23rd which was yesterday, and it stayed for a day. The whole ( family went to the circus. During the performance we saw the horses, ponies, seals, elephants, lamas, and a few other animals doing their acts. One of the acts was a bull fight and the bull fighters came out in their fancy costumes and after they took their bows they waited for the bull to come charging in the arena. Well, he sure did come! A little bull dog about fifteen inches tall dressed as a little bull came charging in and put on a very fine act such as a real bull. After his act was finished another tiny bulldog, also dressed as a bull put on a comedy act which was sidesplitting. It would take me hours to relate all that I saw at the circus. We all enjoyed it very much. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting all the Supreme Officers and am looking forward to meeting the fine group of men and women who head our organization and make it possible for us juveniles to see the “Home” of our American Fraternal Union. I’ll see you in Ely. Marie Vranichar, Lodge No. 66, AFU But hobbies are not limited to thi younger boys or girls. Grown-up one; have them too. Many like to write let' ters and have many pen pals. They try to get one in each state and in foreign countries. Some boys and girls like to make scrapbooks which are usually full of clippings from newspapers and magazines. Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. Hobbies are not only kept by young people; many older people have them, too. One could go on for a long time writing about the different hobbies for there are so many. Some of the most popular are photography, traveling, reading and collections. Collections seem to be one of the most popular. Some people like to save pictures, post cards, small miniature china objects, or statues, and pictures of cats, dogs, birds or other animals. Other people like to sew as a hobby or do embroidery work. Beside having fun they are continually having new clothes and can even earn money. Quite a few people enjoy making novelties, like paper flowers, butterflies from clothes pins, lapel ornaments and many other little trinkets. Still other people like to paint or draw and can often be seen working away. Another popular hobby is carving. I am sure you must have some friend who is continually whittling wood or carving soap objects. These are just a few of the hundreds of hobbies there are. I think the juveniles of our Union have some good ones too. Why don’t you write to our children’s page and tell us about them. For those boys and girls of our Union who do not have any particular hobby yet and are looking for an interesting one, let me suggest writing. Yes, why don’t you join the many who spend their spare time writing poems, stories or plays. Sure that’s right. Send them to our page. Start collecting them and see if you can get a letter in each week. You’ll see how soon you can collect a whole scrapbook full. Wouldn’t it be fun to show it to your friends and all of the things in it are your own work. Come on let’s see your articles in our next edition. Florence Prosen (Age: 13) Lodge No. 173, AFU P. S.—Next week I have a surprise for the readers of the children’s page. I hope you will all like it. DENVER, COLO. DEAR EDITOR: Well here I am just as I promised with more news from Denver. Just listen to this “as soon as my brother knew he was qualified he bought himself an old jilloppi to show off a bit.” It is also air-conditioned. Boy, do we have fun in it. It isn’t much of a thing but it is really swell. Well, the New Name Campaign is over and the lucky candidates who are qualified should start preparing for a real vacation. I’ll bet they sure will have a lot to tell us about when they return. Again I urge all juveriiles from the city of Denver to write and let us hear their news. I must close now because I am ready to go swimming in the pool which is just a half a block away. Boy do we have fun! Steffie Okoren, Lodg6 21, AFU STRABANE, PA. DEAR EDITOR: Well July is here at last. The month in which we got our Independence; the month which all boys and girls should be proud to say: “This is the month in which we got our Independence.” The Declaration was signed by 50 members of Congress on July 4, 1776. Most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence are vague and mythical figures to the average American. These early patriots were not impractical men. They knew what they wanted. They wanted the opportunities that they found in a new land permanently guaranteed to themselves and their descendents. They wanted the right to regulate their own affairs so that they might assure the greatest number. They wanted a voice in their own government The Declaration was not signed on the spur of the moment by men driven by emotion. Events had prepared the way for it and had forced it. The signers knew what they were doing and what their act might mean to them personally. They knew that the Declaration of Independence was a Declaration of war, and they knew what their plight would be if the Revolution failed. They literally pledged their lives when they sign their names It is well for us to know what manner of men they were. There lives should inspire all of us to zealously safeguard the country and the liberties for which they risked so much. The original signed copy of the Decla ration was in the hands of the President of the United States until after the War of 1812. When Washington was invaded during that struggle and the White House burned; the President’s wife Dolly Madison, who had stayed behind to the last minute, saved the Declaration by carrying it away with her. Subsequently she returned it and it was placed under the charge of the State Department. It was hermetically sealed in 1894 and is now seen in the hall of the Congressional Library in Washington. Now for a little news about qualifying as delegate. I finally reached the top of the ladder of 4,000 steps which entitles me to a grand vacation and a scenic trip. I know we’ll all have a grand time for I have enjoyed smaller trips already. I’M REALLY PROUD TO REPRESENT OUR LODGE NO. 149 AT THE FOURTH JUVENILE CONVENTION IN AUGUST. It is really a swell time to look forward to, what about you other delegates? I want to thank everyone who helped me receive my points. I especially want to thank President Frank Mikec and Mr. and Mrs. John Boles, former who is Secretary of Lodge 149 of Strabane, Pa. I want to take this opportunity to welcome all the new members of 149 AFU. I especially want to welcome a set of twins of which our lodge is very proud to have as members, Donald William Troha, Virginia Josephine Troha, brother and sister of Joseph and Richard Troha, members of 149 AFU. TO THIS WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION THE AMERICAN FRATERNAL UNION I WELCOME ALL NEW MEMBERS; you members are now ready to do your part by helping to make this the largest American Fraternal Union Branch that ever existed in the United States of America. Until August, I’ll say so-long everyone. A happy delegate of lodge No. 149, AFU of Strabane, Pa. Dorothy Martinčič, Lodge 149, AFU Ed. Note: Yes, Littje Stan will also be on the train. 19716 Arrowhead Ave, CLEVELAND, O. DEAR JUVENILES: Here’s hoping you are all enjoying yourselves. This week I want to write about something we all know about and often enjoy ourselves. HOBBIES People of all ages have hobbies. They may be of a type that gives one a chance to earn some money or else they just give a person something to do in their spare moments. Little girls usually pass many hours playing with their dolls. They make clothes for them with scraps of goods their mothers give them. Or, some have fun collecting paper dolls like those of the movie stars, Shirley Temple, Jane Withers, and many others. Some girls even save pictures of movie stars. Sometimes they collect pictures of a certain movie star like Judy Garland and exchange with their friends. Boys of all ages usually have fun making airplane models or boats. Some like to collect stamps and are always on the lookout for a new stamp that may come out. Other boys like to play games and spend many hours practicing football or baseball. EAST HELENA, MONT. DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES: Well here I am again . . . yes, just keeping my promise. But before going on, I first want to thank our Supreme President, Mr. Rogelj for the wonderful complimentary letter in regard to my becoming a delegate to the Fourth Juvenile Convention. On reading the weekly letters of encouragement written by our Elsie Desmond, I must admit that they are not only very interesting but also inspiring. Elsie, in respect to your question about your home town, Anaconda I’ll probably give you a most disappointing answer because I don’t suppose I know very much more about it than you know already. We do have friends and relatives down there but actually haven’t been to see them for over a year. However, I do know that there’s to be a rodeo down there June 28 and 29. This, it is said, will be the greatest rodeo held in Montana for some tinte.-How true that is, I don’t know. But I do know that this rodeo is starting out with a bang on the 27th at which time there will be a big parade through the streets ... So much for that. To change the subject I’m wishing you every inch of success for becoming a delegate to the convention. According to the papers, Monday the 23rd was the hottest day of this year and also broke the records for being the hottest on this certain day as far back as the records go. The heat registered 98 degrees in the shade. Having read the article written by Rose Kuznik where she claims having ripe cherries. I’ve come to the conclusion that she sure is a fine one not passing some to the rest of the Juveniles. And by the way Rose, you’re not the only one who has ripe strawberries ... we have them too. Before closing I wish to ask all of you who haven't qualified to hurry up and do so because the campaign is reaching its termination and I would like to see an immense crowd at the convention in August. I also want to tell all of you that our honorary delegate, Mrs. Mary Langenfus has just qualified. Mrs. Langenfus is a lot of fun and you’ll all enjoy her I’m sure. So-long. Mary Smith, Lodge No. 43, AFU 343 E. Sheridan St. ELY, MINNESOTA DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES: I can bearly wait for the Nova Doba to come each week so I can see who the newly qualified delegates are. I see in today’s paper that' the list of qualified delegates has greatV increased. I know that those who have qualified are not sorry for the eifort spent in securing new members now that they have the convention to look forward to. Congratulations to Bro. Matt Anzelc of Aurora, Minn., for his splendid record of qualifying six delegates! That was doing some wonderful work for pur union and we are all certainly proud of you! On Sunday our piano class went to Virginia, Minn., to be in a recital at th Virginia Recreational Building, played the selection “To Spring” and a duet “Rosy Fingers.” After the recital I received a Perfect Practice Certificate, which I had been working for three months. I was very happy to receive it' since it required so much work at the piano. Little Stan, I saw your little neice Rosemary the first time yesterday when your brother A1 was giving her a ride on the merry-go-round at the carnival. She’s so cute I think. Mary Ann Sever, I’m glad to see that your are such a faithful writer to our juvenile page even though you started to write only recently. Keep up the good work, Mary Ann, and see if you can get any of your friends to start writing. How about it? I miss articles by our fine writer Anne Prosen. Now that you are home from the university and have more time why don’t you start writing again, Anne? Here’s hoping to see an article from you in the near future. The old adage “the more the merrier” proved to be quite true when last week our Girl Scout troop of sixteen girls visited the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneseapolis. We had worked quite hard during the winter earning money to make the trip possible so we tried to get as much fun out of it as we could. And we did have loads of fun! We were to meet at the Ely Community Center. I had to get up at four o’clock in the morning. When I got up I was quite puzzled however, for the alarm clock showed the time to be four, while the wall clock showed it to be three. I discovered the alarm clock was one hour fast. Even though I was disappointed on being awakened too early I was relieved that I could go back to bed for another hour. Our scout teacher, after stressing so very strictly that we had had to be there at the appointed time (or the bus would go on without us) had to be late herself of all people. Ha! Ha! We had a good time kidding her about it. We went in one of the school busses. Minneapolis was the first city we visited. After registering at the Hotel Ven-dome, we had dinner at The Leaves, the inside of which was made to look like a cave. It was only lighted by candles. Here we had our fortunes told. The atmosphere of the place was just right for getting your fortune told. We went shopping in the most exclusive stores (only wishful shopping, of course). I used the elevators so much that even when I was out of one I still had the impression that I was going down, down, down (and I wasn’t? the only one). Even with using the elevators so much I never did so much walking in one day in my life. Shortly before supper we learned that a new streamlined train was going to leave the station in a little while. We had a long way to go to the station but we thought if we’d hurry we would be able to see it. When we reached the station we were tired and all out of breath. We found out that the train had just left! One of the girls was so disappointed in coming so far for nothing that she wanted to stay and watch an ordinary black train pull out. But we can see that kind of train any time so we left. , We were all supposed to stay together at all times, so our scout director. Miss Webber was always “counting heads.” That didn’t help much though because shortly after leaving the station about five of us got departed from the rest of the group. We asked about ten different people where our hotel was, but still we couldn’t find it. When we finally came to it were we ever tired from walking so much. After supper we went roller skating (even if we were tired). The next morning before leaving Minneapolis we saw the Foshay Tower, the highest building in Minneapolis. In St. Paul we saw the Capital of Minnesota which was worth the trip to St. Paul in itself. We couldn’t have had a better guide to show us through the Capital. He was certainly fitted for his job. He told us many things about Minnesota’s governor, Harold Stassen, (whom the delegates will see at the con. vention). He told us things about the different rooms in the capital, and then would ask us questions to see if we were really paying attention and listening to what he said. The most beautiful room in the building is the governor’s reception room. We really knew something about the capital when we left it. On leaving the building we were given autographed pictures of the governor. We also saw the Historical Museum showing many interesting things used by early Minnesotans. Another interesting place we visited was the Saint Paul City Hall and Court House. What I wanted to see most In this building was a statue which I am sure many of you have read about. It is a memorial statue in the form of an Indian God of Peace, and is 4edicated to the war veterans of Ramsey County. I had not expected it to be so big. It weighs fifty-five tons and stands thirty, six feet high. It rotates ninety degrees on its base, requiring two hours for each rotation. Next we went to the University of Minnesota. Arriving at the University we were shown around the campus by our scout director’s sister, Vincentia Webber. I was very glad to see here as she was one of the leaders at the scout camp I attended last summer. The most splendid building on the campus is the Coffman Memorial Union Building built last summer. There was an article about it in the Saturday Evening Post about a month ago. Some of you might have noticed It. I think the students are very fortunate in having this building on the campus. After seeing the University we had to leave for Ely, right away. Miss Webber couldn’t go back with us because she had to go to South Dakota to a Girl Scout camp. When we got on the bus we all said, “Seeing we’re so tired, let’s relax and go to sleep.” But one girl would say this and another, that, so that in a jiffy we were livlier than ever. After singing every song we knew, we spent our time teasing the bus driver Johnny, singing, “Oh Johnny” when we saw that we were getting him a little angry. Well, we had lots of fun on the trip. We’ve already made plans for going some place next summer. When I come to a big city I’m quite thrilled. It’s very nice and educational. Yes, but needless when I come back to our clean little city of Ely and compare it with a big city. I feel that I have a lot of freedom—just like a bird out of a cage. For one thing every thing is within a nice walking distance. I don’t have to take a street car wherever I want to go. The air is so clean compared to that of dusty smokey cities. Even the poorest families don’t live in over-crowded homes as in big cities. Yes, when all is said and done you have a heavenly freedom in Ely. Recently Mrs. William Hollman, 30 years old, died. To the bereaved families I send my deepest sympathy. Mrs. Hoffman is a cousin of Mr. Frank Tomsich, our assistant supreme secretary. The Minnesota Arrowhead Association Officials will convene in Ely on July 29. Joseph Kovach happens to be the president of the Ely retail merchants committee. I’m quite busy lately with many household tasks, giving my mother a helping hand for she was recently appointed representative for the AVon Products Inc. You have my heartiest good wishes, mother, and I do hope that you make progress. You can depend on me in assisting you all I can. By the time you read this article the New Name Campaign will have closed and I hope that the majority of you candidates have qualified. Florence D. Startz No. 1, AFU 343 East Sheridan St. ELY, MINNESOTA DEAR EDITOR: My Aunt, Mrs. Anna Grahek invited J. Golobich, Matt Vertin, and our families to their cabin on White Iron Lake. The four families had a nice party and time went by so quickly. We children had an extra-swell time. Mr. Vertin is the proprietor of “Vertin’s Cafe”—a new modern, eating place where many of our juvenile delegates ate when thfey attended the past conventions in Ely. Veronica Vertin won a national honor roll certificate for playing ten piano solos memorized. She played in the 1941 Audition of the National Guild at the YWCA auditorium in Duluth. I know you boys and girls will want to meet her when you will be in Ely next August and I will see that you do. The 8th district Legion and Auxiliary held their convention in Ely last week. The convention parade which took place, was the largest parade ever seen in Ely. Bands, drum corps, marching units and floats were entered from nearly every city on the Iron Range. Streets were filled with people from out-of-town. The weather was perfect. Another highlight was a colorful exhibition under the flood lights featuring drum corps units rivaling anything ever seen at National Affairs of the same type. A torchlight parade on Saturday was excellent. Our Slovenian Ladies Drill team made their first public appearance in this parade. We were all proud of them. Hibbing Voiture of the 40 and 8—the locomotive and box car was also entered and everyone got a big kick out of it. Kids and all enjoyed it. People came from miles around. Windows were filled with heads looking out. I hope our AFU convention is such a success. I know it will be as Ely has proved what a good host it is. I am going to Camp Oliver Hoist from July 21st to the 28th and I will tell you all about it in my August letter. I am so happy because it Is my first experience in a girls’ camp. June flies by so swiftly. Before we realize, we will be back in school. I am trying to crowd in as much fun as I can in these last vacation months. Afterwards we will have to stay in all the winter months. I do hope I won’t get too sunburnt. Soon the berries will be ripe. I wis/i I had some right now. My mouth waters just to think of it. Do you like berry-picking? Or do you like haying? That is one thing I haven’t done yet. There are so many things to do in summer, but best of all I like swimming. The New Name Campaign ended yesterday. I know that many more will have qualified and are happy. I am sorry for those who didn’t qualify. But these at least tried and that is what counts. I wish to congratulate all the juvenile and honorary delegates. I hope to meet you all in Ely this August. Tha time will soon be here and I know you will all enjoy it very much. I had to laugh about Stan Progar who lost his bet on the Louis-Conn fight and had to pay by giving the, winner a ride in a little wagon. I would like to have seen it. I like to watch the Nova Doba for pictures of delegates. It was so interesting to see all of those new faces— knowing that I expect to see them all! Frances Fister, Angeline and Anne Laurich,—your pictures were lovely. There certainly is a lot of joy in working and completing the work successfully. No work—no play—right girls? Meantime, I spend most of my time witft rny^aunt Mrs. Grahek. I play with 1 and toe is so much fun. So long'ufttil August!

POZIV NA POLLETNO PREGLEDOVANJE KNJIG IN RAČUNOV TER POLLETNO SEJO GLAVNEGA ODBORA Ali Z Uradno se naznanja, da se prične polletno pregledovanje knjig in računov glavnega tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in u-pravnika uradnega glasila v glavnem uradu dne 5. avgusta 1941, ob 9:00 uri dopoldne. f Polletno zborovanje glavnega odbora se prične v glavnem uradu v Elgu, Minnesota, dne 11. avgusta 1911, ob 9:00 uri dopoldne, in vse zadeve, ki bi jih posamezni člani ali društva rada predložila glavnemu odboru, morajo biti v glavnem uradu ne pozneje kot 7. avgusta 1941, sicer se jih ne bo upoštevalo. ZA AMERIŠKO BRATSKO ZVEZO: John Rogelj, Anton Zbašnik, glavni predsednik; glavni tajnik, skemu sestanku mestnega človeka z njegovimi bolj skromnimi sodržavljani, ki ne plačujejo ni-kakih davkov, namreč z mravljami, gosenicami, črvi, pikapolonicami, kebri, govnobrbci, komarji, polži, brenclji, osami, sršeni, kobilicami in slično poljsko in gozdno elito. Posledice takih sestankov pa so raztrgane obleke, blatni čevlji, sončne opekline, posvaljkana kjlla, pogrešan drobiž, kožni izpuščaji, praske, bunke in glavobol. * V listih čitamo, da se Nemci bridko pritožujejo, ker se Rusi nečejo bojevati tako, kot predpisujejo regulacije nemškega vojaškega poveljstva, ampak vodijo nemške napadalce za nos z vsakovrstnimi triki in ukanami. Ti zarobljeni, necivilizirani Rusi! Da si le drznejo delati drugače kot je zapisano v Hitlerjevih računih! A. J. T. SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) mnogi begunci iz evropske vojne zone, so ameriške letalce navdušeno pozdravljali in letalci so jim pozdrave vračali. DRUŠTVENE IN DRUGE SLOVENSKE VESTI (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) PO DVEH LETIH Dasi ima Rusija že od leta 1937 svoje poslaništvo v Wash-ingtonu, že od meseca junija 1939 naprej predsednik Roosevelt ni sprejel ruskega poslanika v avdijenci. Pretekli teden pa sta se predsednik Roosevelt in ruski poslanik Oumansky sestala v uro dolgi konferenci. Oumansky je po konferenci izjavil, da je predsednikovo prijateljsko naziranje glede ruskih vojnih problemov napravi- lo nanj globok vtis. Iz urada glavnega tajnika cA. B. Z. \ ■ ■ —------------------------------ USTANOVITEV NOVEGA DRUŠTVA V WESTLANDU, PA. S tem se uradno naznanja, da je bilo z dnem 1. julija 1911 sprejeto v ABZ novo podrejeno društvo v Westlandu, Pennsylvania, ki je prejelo čarter št. '237. K novemu društvu je pristopilo 16 odraslih članov in 13 mladinskih. (Imena odraslih članov in uradnikov novega društva je najti v angleškem poročilu na drugem mestu te izdaje.) Novo društvo je ustah'dvil sobrat Andrew Milavec, Jr., tretji glavni nadzornik A11Z, kateremu je pomagal tudi sobrat Edward Bizzack od društva šti 232. S tem je sobrat Milavec ponovne dokazal našemu članstvu v splošnem in delegatom 16. redne konvencije še posebej, da je vreden njih faupanja. čast mu! ANTON ZBAŠNIK, glavni tajnik. VSAK PO SVOJE (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) Mr. in Mrs. Frank Meden, člana društva št. 114 ABZ v Elyu, Minn.; Mr. in Mrs. Frank Peklaj, člana društva št. 12 ABZ v Pittsburghu, Pa.; Mr. in Mrs. Anthony Piletič, Jr., in sinova, Mr. Anton Piletič, Sr., Miss Eileen Bregach, Miss Anne Piletič in Mrs. Agnes Jordan, člani društva št. 3 ABZ v La Salle, 111.; Louis Gruden in hčerkaj Josephine Gruden, člana društva št. 106 ABZ v Davisu, W. j Va., v družbi sina Antona Gruden, ki biva v Clevelandu in je član društva št. 180 ABZ; Frank Koščak, član društva št. 200 v Elyu, Minn., v spremstvu zeta in hčere Mr. in Mrs. Rudolph Turk, ki bivata v Detroitu ; Mrs. Mary Herak in hčerka Miss Mary Herak, članici društva št. 81 ABZ, bivajoči v Charlestonu, W. Va., v spremstvu Mrs. Mary Bulic, bivajoče na 10566 Glenville Ave. v Clevelandu, Ohio. * Pozdrave iz Lava,Hot Spring-sa, Idaho, kjer se mudi na počitnicah, pošilja Louis Jtft'asha, član društva št. 83 ABZ v Su-periorju, Wyo. * V Clevelandu, Ohio, je po kratki bolezni umrl Andrew Gruflen, član in blagajnik društva št. 71 ABZ, star 58 let, po rodu iz Šmihela pri Postojni. Tu zapušča sina, štiri hčere, dve sestri in več drugih sorodnikov, v starem kraju pa dva brata. * V Rock Springsu, Wyo., je umrl Joseph Terček, star 61 let, član društva št.,18 ABZ. V tej deželi ne zapušča nikakih sorodnikov. Doma je bil z žerov-skega vrha, fara Smrečje. GRADNJA LETAL Pritožbe, da je Amerika prepočasna z gradnjo vojaških letal, bodo najbrž kmalu potihnile, kajti letal se izdela vsak mesec več. Sicer produkcija letal še davno ni dosegla svojega viška, toda je že prav impozantna. V mesecu juniju je bilo do-goto vi jenih že 1,476 letal in to število bo stopnjema nadkrilje-vano vsak sledeči mesec. GRADNJA JEZOV Zadnja leta je vlada Zedinjenih držav zgradila v raznih krajih dežele večje število jezov, po katerih zadržana voda se rabi za irigacijo in za proizvodnjo električne sile. To slednje je v novejšem času zelo prav prišlo novim in razširjenim obrambnim industrijam. Pretekli teden je zvezni kongres dovolil nadaljnih 40 milijonov dolarjev za izgradnjo nadaljnih jezov v državi Tennessee. Električna sila, pridobljena na teh jezovih, je v glavnem namenjena za pogonsko silo v novih tovarnah za izdelovanje aluminija. ZAPLEMBA LADIJ Vlada Zedinjenih držav je podvzela legalne korake za zaplembo ene nemške in 15 italijanskih tovornih ladij, na katerih je svoječasno njihovo moštvo izvršilo čine sabotaže. Ladje bedo takoj stavljene v službo ameriške trgovske mornarice in se bodo rabile za dovoz materiala, ki ga Zedinjene dr-j žave importirajo iz inozemstva. To bo omogočilo odgovarjajoče število ameriških tovornih ladij oddati Angliji za plovbo med Ameriko in Anglijo. ZAHVALA IN ČESTITKE Predsednik Roosevelt se je zahvalil Mihaelu Kalininu, predsedniku Sovjetske Rusije, • za njegove čestitke ob priliki letošnjega ameriškega praznika Neodvisnosti. Obenem je predsednik Roosevelt dejal, da ameriško ljudstvo sledi s simpatijami in občudovanjem hrabri borbi, ki jo vodi rusko ljudstvo v svojo obrambo. K zaključku izreka predsednik Roosevelt željo za blagor in uspeh ruskega naroda. VOJNA SITUACIJA Konci preteklega tedna je bila vojna na rusko-nemški fronti obstala nekako na mrtvi točki. Vojna črta se je v glavnem vlekla ob pravi ruski meji, to je ob meji, ki jo je Rusija imela pred priključitvijo delov Poljske, Besarabije in baltiških provinc. Ponekod se je nemška ofenziva zajedla nekoliko v pravo rusko ozemlje, ponekod pa ga še ni dosegla. Tako zvano Stalinovo obrambno črto so menda Nemci dosegli samo na par krajih. Tako bi se vsaj dalo sklepati iz raznih poročil in zemljevidov, ki jih priobčuje ameriško časopisje. Nemci poudarjajo, da njihova ofenziva napreduje po načrtu, da so zajeli okrog 400,000 rutikih ujetnikov in mnogo vojnega materiala in da so Rusi imeli približno milijon mož izgub, to je mrtvih, ranjenih in ujetih. Dalje poročajo dan za dnem, da uničijo po par sto ruskih letal, kar se čudno sliši z ozirom na prvotna nemška poročila, da je bila že v prvih dneh nemške ofenzive uničena skoro vsa ruska letalska sila. Rusi od svoje strani trdijo, da so Nemci izgubili nad milijon mož mrtvih, ranjenih in ujetih in da ruske izgube znašajo le četrt milijona mož. Po ruskih j poročilih so Nemci izgubili tu-! di več tankov in letal kot Rusi.! Verjetno je, da so številke iz-j gub na obeh straneh pretirane,! toda prav tako je verjetno, daj so izgube na obeh straneh res] velike, in da morajo Nemci vsa-1 ko napredovanje drago plačati.; Po poročilih v začetku tega tedna so Nemci spet pričeli z ofenzivo in navajajo neke uspehe. Iz ruskih poročil bi se dalo sklepati, da Rusi ponekod uspešno odbijajo nemške napade, ponekod pa se polagoma in v redu umikajo.' Kako globoka je Stalinova črta, nihče izven Rusije ne ve, in Rusi imajo dovolj prostora za umik, če sodijo, da se> jim izplača z izgubami, ki jih trpi napadajoči sovražnik. Poroča se tudi, da Rusi, kjerkoli: se umaknejo, uničijo za seboj! vse ,kar bi moglo služiti sovražniku, in zanetijo za hrbtom napadalcev gverilsko bojevanje. Za enkrat je gotovo, da so se' UPOKOJITEV ČASTNIKOV V vsaki armadi se polagoma nabere neko število častnikov, ki vsled ostarelosti ali drugih vzrokov niso več priporočljivi za poveljnike v izpremenjenih razmerah, ampak ki včasih predstavljajo prave coklje. Podtajnik ameriškega vojnega de-partmenta je torej priporočil, kongresu, da sprejme zakon, ki bo dovoljeval upokojiti vse armadne častnike, ki ne bi bili po-rabni v obrambnem programu sedanjega pasa, četudi po letih še ne spadajo v pokoj, da se tako napravi prostor za mlajše, bolj sposobne moči. Senatni odsek za vojaške zadeve je priporočilo soglasno odobril in je zelo verjetno, da bo tozadevna predloga sprejeta od kongresa. Ameriška “čistka” častniškega -zbora bo sicer manj radikalna kot je bila svoječasno čistka v nemški ali ruski arrpadi, toda svoj namen bo gotovo dosegla. OSEMDESETLETNIK Zvezni senator George W. Norris iz Nebraske, ki je znan po svojem samostojnem in progresivnem naziranju, je dne 11. julija obhajal svojo 80-letnico. V senatu služi ta odlični zastopnik naroda že 28 let. Na-pram časnikarskim poročevalcem je Norris izjavil, da upa, da se bo Amerika mogla izogniti aktivne udeležbe v vojni, da pa mora biti nacizem na vsak način poražen, ker boljša bi bila smrt kot življenje v razmerah, kakršne bi prinesla Hitlerjeva zmaga. Senator Norris ^je bil vedno pogumen bori-telj za ljudske pravice in za koristne socialne reforme in je tozadevno skoro vedno podpiral predsednika Roosevelta, dasi o-ficielno ne pripada nobeni politični stranki. PRESELJEVANJE Dne 10. julija so bili u-kinjeni vsi nemški in italijanski konzulati v Zedinjenih državah in konzularnemu osobju je bilo dovoljeno do 15. julija, da si poveže svoje culice. Ta teden se bodo konzularni uradniki Nemčije in Italije odpeljali na ameriški luksuzni ladji West Point na Portugalsko. Anglija je dala zagotovilo, da angleške vojne ladje ne bodo nadlegovale parnika West Point na potu iz Amerike v nevtralno evropsko pristanišče. Na Portu ■ galskem se bodo na West Point ukrcali s svojimi družinami a-meriški konzularni uradniki, ki so morali zapustiti Nemčijo, Italijo ter od njiju zasedene evropske države.

Mr. Meden visited with the Dragolin family — Mrs. Dragolin, his sister, whom he hadn’t seen in 30 years. While here, they met Bro. Janko N. Rogelj, our supreme president, and Bro. Terbovec. Prexy Delegate Joseph Oblak Chicago, 111. — Liberty Bell, Lodge No. 70, AFU, of Chicago, 111., had two new names to commemorate. First was the American Fraternal Union; second was their own lodge name changed first of the year to Liberty Bell! And what a fitting way to commemorate the occasion. In this New Name Campaign, they have responded to qualify two regular and two honorary delegates! Pictured above is Joseph Oblak, one of the honorary delegates. His work for and with the AFU is outstanding as you could see in many of his articles in the Slovene section of Nova Doba. Secretary of Liberty Bell Lodge is Anton Krapenc, also fourth supreme vice president of the AFU. Honorary Delegate From Pioneer sville, Idaho, Bro. Louis F. Truger, a member of Ilirska Vila Lodge No. 173, Cleveland, Ohio, visited with his friends here. He planned a two week vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peklaj of lodge 12, AFU Pittsburgh, Pa., visited with the editorial staff of Nova Doba Saturday morning.

What happens if / suddenly need ihe money I put into a Defense Savings Bond? A. You can cash your Bond at any time, after 60 days, for the full amount paid, plus any interest due you. Q. Do many Bond owners cash their Bonds? A': No. People want to help arm America against all attacks. In many cases, people ar^putting every cent they can spare into Defense Bonds and Stamps. Some are doing this by, asking employers or banks to withold part of their salaries in order to buy these Bonds or Stamps for them. Note.—To purchase Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office or bank, oi write for information to the Treasurer of the United States Washington, D. C.

Her mother, Rose Svetich, is a member of the supreme judiciary committee of our AFU; is secretary of the lodge; and also an honorary delegate. The other delegate from Lodge 120 is Mrs. Mary Jerich, president of the lodge. In a city where AFU competition is keener than £ razor’s edge, this is also a re markable performance!

AMERICAN FRATERNAL UNION John Rogelj, ' Supreme President; Anton Zbasnik, * Supreme Secretary. .Joseph Kovach Ely, Minn. — A man of many titles is Bro. Joseph Kovach (pictured above) who has skyrocketed to distinguished civic and fraternal positions through his tireless public activity, but we would venture to say he honestly feds his most important title is Third Supreme Vice President of the American Fraternal Union, and president of Lodge No. 1, who has been announced as the t£nth delegate from his lodge! Under his and Bro. Frank Tomsich’s leadership, (latter is also assistant supreme secretary) Lodge No. 1 has headlined the New Name Campaign; a tremendous showing considering also that six otlier AFU lodges in our Home Office city | qualified one or more delegates. Competition was keen all the way, and even though the number of required points was less than that of other states, the job completed by Lodge 1 was more than a commendable one — outstanding in every respect! Robert Merhar Ely, Minn. — A graduate of the University of Minnesota is Robert Merhar who has qualified as an honorary delegate from Lodge No. 200, AFU of Ely, Minnesota. He is the son of Mrs. Anton Murgel who has already qualified as an honorary delegate from the same lodge. Mr. Anton Murgel is- also a delegate. All in all a swell AFU family! Congratulations! Bro. Merhar, according to the “Ely Miner” recently resigned his position in the record department of Hennepin County, Minneapolis, to accept a civil service position with the Ordnance division of the U. S. War Department. He will attend a two-months’ training course at Rock Island, 111., arsenal and will then be transferred to one of the ordnance posts as busi ness manager.

This will be her second trip to the beautiful Home Office in Ely, Minn. First trip was to the Second Athletic Conference in 1939. When the news flashed that her hubby, our supreme trustee organized a new lodge in Westland, Pa., during the campaign, congratulations poured in from all sides. We aren’t, afraid to bet this will be the happiest and proudest couple at the 4th Juvenile Convention! Recent visitors at the Nova Doba office were Mr. and Mrs. Nick Borovac and Mr. and Mrs. Debelak of Gary-New Duluth, Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs. Borovac are aunt and uncle to Little Stan. Cleveland, O. — Well, we did it last Saturday night—and we sure don’t mean maybe. The crowd at the First Betsy Ross Barn Dance Saturday broke any record of attendance that has ever been set up at the Barn. In fact, by 9:30 p. m. the committee^ in charge was beginning to wonder what they; were going to do with the people; still coming in. Johnny Peconi and his boys kept the dancers; well-pleased. In fact, they had to keep right on playing even after the midnight deadline. We especially want to thank all those out-of-towners who came to our dance. It was a surprise, but a very nice one, to see all those cars with Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan licenses. If we had any orchids to give out, our biggest j and loveliest would go to the Barberton group who came in several carloads. Miss Barberton, Marge Okolish, honored us by attending also. It would be impossible to mention all the names, but we did see Johnny Opeka and Joe Nyesta, Rose Mesec, Marie, Helen and a great many others from Barberton; Frank Znidar, Henry Bokal and Stan Zagorc from the St. John’s; Ham Laurich of the Col-linwood Boosters; several of the Napredek’s; Little Stan and his friend from Minnesota. Matt Anzelc. In fact we saw: Little Stan swinging it out and having a good old time as per usual; the romance between Connie Koncan and Andy Zadeli blossoming; Ike Kocin and Patsy Krall giving each other ; dirty looks; could it be Catherine Cinkole who was the cause of it all?; Sis Rosemary and Utopian Ed Tomsic having a very good time; Blackie Krall, John Lunka, Ivan Rozahc, Mrs. Starman, Mrs. Kovitch and the Mr., too, and Catherine Krall working extra hard behind the bar and in the kitchen. Congratulations to John Lunka who celebrated his birthday that night; J. 1’ Morgan and Frank Kocin taking care of two pretty girls from Barberton; we wouldn’t talk, of course, but we wonder where. J. P. got all that lipstick on his shirt—tut, tut; and all-in-all everybody havy ing one grand time. Incidentally thanks Johnny, for that “Happy Birthday” dedication—eveh (Continued on page 7) 6 r* : • ■ ■ H this picnic a success. 1 here isn’t much time left and there- Liberty Bell Delegates Theresa Zupancich Chicago, III. — Under their new Tod^e hahie “IJbieHy W*H” Lodge No. 70, thru its active members and secretary, Bro.

Euclid, O. — Napredek Lodge 132, AFU, softball team scored a decisive hit Friday night in their sponsorship of a really entertaining social party at the -Slovenian Home in Euclid. Litti* stan The social, well advertised in advance, drew a splendid crowd. It followed the regular monthly meeting of the lodge — and the fine cooperative spirit shown by the adult members and the youhger athletic set was something worth seeing in itself. * * V- Represented at this gathering were members of Betsy Ross, No, 186: St. John’s No. 71; Collinwood Boosters, No. 188; Ilirska Vila, No. 173, and an excellent turnout of other members and guests. As Frankie Znidar of Fighting 71st put it last week — the “Big 3" from Minnesota were present. Matty Anzelc, Bill Zbasnik and Little Stan, along with Ed Slogar, a new member of Lodge 71. And during the evening, noticed a swell crowd of Minnesotans coming in. They were mostly from Aurora; having returned after spqnding the Fourth at home. ’S funny how these Minnesotans can’t get used to Eastern Standard Time. Seems they always come to a gathering on time — but Central Standard time! Heh Heh! That’s an hour late no matter how you look at; it! * * * Entering the Slovene Home, saw a room filled with people. All were sitting around tables —. four-handed, concentrating and enjoying themselves. (Gov’t postal regulations force us to refrain from telling you how the early part of the evening was spent.) Anyway, they were all enjoying themselves very much. Coming in saw first Mr. and Mrs. Billy Kern, formerly of Gilbert, Minn., who were sitting near the door. Nearby were the Trohas, and the Seme’s. Further down, Stan Zagorc, Frankie Znidar, his mother, — of Fighting 71st; at the Betsy Ross table, Ivan Rožance, Frankie Krall, Kocin, and can’t think of the other fellow’s name. * ¥ * Further down the line saw Mr. and Mrs. John Tanko, former who is secretary of Lodge 132, Mr. Pucel, Mr. and Mrs. Golob, Mr. Gruden, his daughter, and so many familiar faces! (Continued on page 70 Joseph Kamnikar Amelia Perushek Aurora, Minn. — These are some of the names that made news for Lodge No. 85, Aurora, Minnesota, where Bro. Matt Anzelc, sr., supreme trustee, and secretary of the lodge, was Frank Bradach successful in one of the most outstanding individual performances in the New Name Campaign. Peeking mischeviously around corners are left to right, Edward Peterka Frank Bradach, Amalia Perushek, Edward Peterka, and Robert Turk. They do look like a happy lot, don’t they?

Lodge 25, AFU of Eveleth, Minn., will hold a picnic August 17th, as a part of the Fourth Juvenile Convention celebration. St. Louis, Missouri. — Well here is St. Louis with an article. It has been quite some time since we have been heard from. I regret very much that our lodge will not be represented at this fourth Juvenile Convention. We did have very good intentions to send at least one delegate, however, you knowj one or two members can’t work for the whole lodge and until all of our members learn to help and cooperate with the active ones, our lodge will never prosper and become well-known. Come on members, make up your minds to become more interested in this great lodge and do whatever is in your power to make it become one of the most active in the union. We failed at thip convention but at the next convention we will have delegates, won’t we? Since my last article, the younger members of our lodge had gotten together and had several parties. We have elected our officers and named our club the Missouri Eagle Juniors. We have good prospects with our club. On July 20 another picnic will be given by the United Slovenian Societies. Remember the last picnic? We all had a grand time, didn’t we? Well this picnic is again being repeated and likewise a good time will be had by all who attend. I also know that each person who attends that each person who attended the picnic last year will not miss this one. The picnic will be held at Hoffman’s Grove, Telegraph and Yeager Roads. The parade and first bus will leave the Slovenian National Hall at 10:00 a. m. sharp. There will be free bus service continuing from the end of the South Broadway line from 11:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. There will be games, races and plenty of good music. We will have barbecue lamb and ribs and plenty of refreshments. The country store will again be repeated. Admission to this great affair is only 25c. Each member is requested to donate a can of goods for the Country Store. Such donations can be made directly to my home or to the Committees, Frank Kodelja or Mary Beg. Members of the Missouri Eagle lodge do your share by selling all the tickets you possibly, can. Let’s show the other lodges that even though our lodge is small it can do a great deal to make this picnic a success. There ion k xiaiiwii uuu incic- fore, we will have to hurry and do our share. John Gruber just returned from a vacation in New York. Did you have a good time, Johnny? All your fellow members sincerely hope you did because you more than deserve it. On July 18 Mary Beg will again celebrate her birthday. Here is one ’ member who really deserves to have a happy birthday. She is one of the most active members in our lodge. Our hearty wishes are extended to you, Mary, for the happiest birthday and we wish you many more. Members don’t forget the picnic on July 20. Let’s see if each and every member can’t be present and also let’s resolve at this time that we will all cooperate with one another and work together so that in the future we will be the most active lodge in Betsy Ross Bam Dances Struthers, O. — Here w’e ** once again, with the Cardiff j We would like to see all nj l far and near attend oui PlC iir; which will be held on Yell*: ■ grounds on Center s _ , Struthers, Sunday, Juty n k A ball game will be a fea st afternoon attraction. * it Joe Umeck’s orchestra . ^ supply the fast steppe ge thm beats for the dance w g will follow the ball Saines'^ Come on, baseball fans- |je for your team!

An invitation is extended to all members -of the [ American Fraternal Union and ! their friends., Meeting Date Changed Because a meeting of the Colorado Federation of AFU John Zvezich Chicago, 111. — Active, energetic, John Zvezich, sr., secretary of Lodge No. 211, known as Illini Stars, has also qualified as an honorary delegate to our 4th Juvenile Convention. Businessman and active frater-nalist that he is, Bro. Zvezich will be making another trip to the beautiful lake country he really enjoys, and you’ll all enjoy his light bantering and fun. Our Congratulations to Bro. Zvezich, sr., for a fine performance in our New Nam.9 Campaign! lodges is scheduled July 20th, our regular meeting date has been shifted from the third to the fourth Sunday in July. This is on July 27th. It is hoped that a 100-per cent attendance of members will be assured. Don’t forget the d^ite —Sunday, July 27th, instead of July 20th!

The story of Eveleth’s participation in this great New Name Campaign is very impressive and, by the way, William will be among those Evelethians who will be host to the 4th juvenile convention picnic in this city, Sunday, August 17th. Nice looking, isn’t he? Rose Mertel Ely, Minn. — An able assistant to her dad, Bro. Joseph Mertel, secretary of Lodge No. 200, AFU, is Miss Rose Mertel, pictured above, who is the sixth to be qualified as delegate from this active unit in Ely. Active in lodge activities, Miss Mertel is ready to help entertain all out-of-town delegates in Ely, and she’ll be looking forward to your visit! Dangerous Month ■om page 6) for the booby prize! Announcements were made by Frank Sesek, and Patsy Krall did the promoting! It was really the spice of the program! * ^ -v With appropriate fan-fare, Frank Sesek engaged the services of a youngsters whose name Little Stan didn’t get, and proceeded to make the awards for the evening. It was fun to see the last two people opening up the booby prizes! More music by Bill Peklay and the crowd began to dwindle. A lot of them had to get up early the next day, and it meant at least a few hours’ rest anyway! The Aurora, Minn., group came in toward the closing session. With them were Vickie Smuk, Dorothy Te-kavitz, Angie Tekavitz—a few minutes of light bantering and it was time to take “Zmajsanc” to meet his girl-friend. Said he_ wanted to buzz. * ❖ * Info for Trosky Urbančič: In South. Carolina there is a law that prohibits any person from slapping another unexpectedly on the back. Could have conie in handy! Aye! :‘fi * An so this splendid promotion by Lodge 132 and its sports unit goes into the books as a real success all the way. You ought to see the new uniforms the Napredek’s are sporting! Yep, and even in leaving saw the Betsy Ross group of Patsy Krall, Ivan Rožance, Kocin and Frankie, sitting at their table on the stage. So interested were they in what the cards foretold, they probably didn’t even hear the goings on—except from a distance! Pa smo imeli tok fine time! Faithful memory deserted your, scribe temporarily last week in the coverage of the 20th Anniversary of Lodge 138, picnic in Export, Pa. Forgot to mention that a talk was given too by Bro. Joseph Sneler, fifth supreme vice-president of our Union. Next day—deadline for new member apps in the New Name Campaign, Mrs. Sneler, who has officially qualified as honorary delegate to the 4j;h Juvenile./Convention, came over to Dr. Arch’s home in a snappy Packard roadster with two escorts—a chauffeur and doorman, to deliver enough new apps to qualify her for delegate. These were ok— Had a Junior Supreme Board present— Bill Z, Matty Anzelc, and Little Stan there to substantiate the whole thing! Heh Heh! sj» j}c That Lodge 132 social really hit the spot—so much so, that Little Stan overslept the next day and missed seeing Frank Koschak of Ely, Minn who came in with his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Turk of Detroit, Mich. After nibbling on a little lunch got a telephone call from Joseph Birk who informed that Mr. and Mrs. Peklaj of Lodge 26, Pittsburgh were in town on vacation. They visited in the office and were happy to be here.

Johnny Opeka and wife were enroute, but Little Stan and Matty Anzelc left shortly before midnight. Betsy Ross initial barn dance was a big success in: every way.

Numerous errors made at crucial moments spelled The month of July according to the records for past years is the most dangerous month of the year. During the month approximately one of every 150 persons is injured by an accident. Every twelve days during the month as many Americans are killed by accidents as lost their lives in the Revolutionary War. Last year over 9,000 persons were killed and 900,000 injured in accidents of all kinds. The celebration of the Fourth of July plays the biggest part in adding up the death toll. Every year on the fifth, the day of reckoning after the holiday,! finds a tragic list of sacrifices resulting from unnecessary accidents. July also marks the real beginning of the vacation season. Traffic on the highways is much heavier, and vacationists are driving faster and longer distances with little thought for safety. Enjoy the holiday and your vacation but enjoy it safely. When you start on that trip; leave sooner—drive slower and remember to watch while you walk. George J. Matowitz, Chief of Police of Cleveland Ohio Federation of American Fraternal Union Lodges will, meet at Avon Park in Girard, O., at 9 a. m. Sunday, August: 31st, John Opeka, secretary an-| nounced.

Donates $300 ONWARD BETSY ROSS (Continued from page 5) t though it was about 3 months too early. Next Saturday, Betsy Ross is sponsoring the Second Barn Dance of the series—Saturday, July 19th at Manchutta’s Barn on Glenridge Rd. just off of Green Road. We’re inviting all of you to come out and repeat the good time you had last week. Frank Yankovich and his boys will play for the dancers. This dance we’re dedicating to Little Stan who will celebrate his birthday that night. And we’re all set to welcome with open arms all those Gowanda friends who have promised to attend. We’re really looking forward to meeting you this Saturday—so don’t disappoint us. Our best Betsy Ross member, Patsy Krall, paid the Gowan-dans a visit last week and brought back some very lovely souvenirs. Thanks, Pat. Talking about out-of-town visits. It seems as if Indianapolis was well taken care of over the Fourth. Not only did we have a nice representation here in Cleveland—composed of Joe Uhlc, Johnny Proper, and several others; but a group of Collinwood fellows deserted their home town and made Indianapolis their headquarters for the weekend. The boys—J. P. Morgan, Ike Kocin, Eugene and Eddie March are still talking about the grand time they had. We’ve firmly resolved that next time we’re in that city, we shall most certainly make the acquaintance of Zefka, Tina, Mol lie, and Carrie Brodnik. The hospitality of the Brodnik household, to quote the boys, can’t be equalled. In fact they’re still talking about it. We tried to do a little bit of Sherlock Holmes and find out just which one of the four girls is the nicest but we weren’t very successful because it seems that they are all tops. In addition to that they have a brother-in-law, Mr. Frank Velikan, who treated the boys most royally and a father, mother and brother that rate right up there on top, too. They tell us that this family is quite musically inclined. Louis, the brother, plays a Hawaiian guitar; Tina plays the accordion, and the rest of the family does a swell job of harmonizing. Incidentally we couldn’t forget to mention that piece by piece description by Ike of the Brodnik Dagwood Special. Hm —Hmmm ... It seems as if J. P. as usual provided the entertainment during the trip. The boys went through Michigan— a rather round-about-way to Indianapolis. While passing thru Lansing, Michigan, J. P. decided the boys needed a little bit of education—and informed them that this city was named Lansing because it was landscaped. We can’t remember all the other bi-ight remarks-but we do remember that we spent a sidesplitting evening listening to the boys telling about them. Andy Zadeli, our athletic supervisor, has been on the sick list for quite some time—but»we wish him a speedy recovery. The same goes for Mrs. Jennie Gorman who has been ill an even longer time. We hope she too will be on the “All Well” again list, sOon. Also on the list we haw the two cute little daughters of our financial secretary, John Lunka, and we hope they Will be entirely well again soon We wish to extend our mosl sincere sympathy to a Betsj Ross member, Victor Gruden and to our friend, Albina Gru den, and to the rest of the fami * , ly, on the loss of their father Those of us who have experienced a similar loss know that mere words are not of mucl help at a time like this. W< share with you the realizator that nothing in this world car ever make up for the loss of t good father or mother. Rosemary and I would also like to share with you our belief, A1 and Vie, that both our fathers are now reunited with our mothers and that some day in the future we, too, shall be with them. To St. John’s Lodge, who has lost a most capable and conscientious treasurer we, also, extend our sympathies. The Betsy Ross lodge was very well represented at the Napredek’s card party and all of them reported a very good time. We hear that Patsy Krall served as one of the judges who chose the couple that could polka best. Bill Zbasnik and Matt Anzelc served as judges also. We understand that one certain member of the St. John outfit is “now a man.” In fact, ever since last Saturday. Congratulations, Henry! A million thanks to Patsy Krall, Blackie Krall, and John Lunka who did all the work of getting enough new members and as a result, enough points for me to qualify as an Ilojatar-ary Delegate. Many thanks, also, to Little Stan. I’m really looking forward to that trip to Ely. Although Little Stan very subtley hints that unless Y. T. pays a visit to that photographer soon, there’ll be “moider in the house.” All Betsy Ross members arc requested to be sure and attend the monthly meeting tonight at 8:00 p. m. in the Slovenian Workingmen's Home. Please be prompt and please do your share by attending. Also—a finrtl reminder to all: The Second Betsy Ross Barn Dance will be held this Saturday, July 19th, at Manchifta's Barn on Glenridge Road. Come and repeal the grand time you had lust week' Stopping in Nova Doba office for a visit Saturday morning were Mr. Frank Koschak of Ely, Minn., his daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Turk of Detroit, Michigan. John Perko Cleveland, O. — A member of the American Fraternal Union, John Perko (pictured above) a broker of the firm, Perko and Zink, of Cleveland, Ohio, was first to donate to the cause of Yugoslav Relief when the Cleveland Slovene section of the National Yugoslav Relief Committee was organized here last week. Thru Bro. Janko N. Rogelj, supreme president of the American Fraternal Union; director of publicity for the national committee, and chairman of the board of trustees of the Slovene section of the committee in Cleveland, Bro. Perko submitted his check for $300 to start the ball rolling.* Unanimous appreciation and thanl<3 was voted Mr. Perko by the committee. Bro. Perko’s contribution was nett solicited, but came as a voluntary gesture following the call of the National committee for funds with which to aid his mother country, Yugoslavia. Chisholm, Minn. I /■. ! Marta Ostenso Klic divjih gosi l- j govor o zamotani lesni kupčiji in je kdaj pa kdaj malone za-: kiičal Skuliju na uho, da bi mu ji pojasnil podrobnosti. Melodija I je otožno izzvenela. Ela se je I naglo lotila domoljubne koračnice in tolkla presekano po tip-kah. Nato je prešla na uspa-, vanko in naposled zaigrala val L ček. Rdeče pege so se ji prikazi zale na licih. Usta so ji bila ri čvrsto stisnjena brada gladka , in podolgovata, tako da je bila 1 v profilu podobna utrujeni star-i j ki. V hišo je stopila Amalija in : i obstala pri mizi. Narahlo je privila stenj svetilke. Pri tem ji je luč obsvetila sence pod očmi, I tope poteze ust in peščenoblede, ; na sencih osivele lase. Amaliji j je bilo petdeset let in se je pri-| čela rediti, toda vedla se je do-j stojno vzdržljivo, tako se je ta lastnost zdela kakor del njene j nature in je njeno telo ohranilo I nekako prejšnjo mladostno dra-. žest. Po vsem videzu je bila ! preko mere neskladna s svojim okoljem. Ko jo je Linda gledala, kako se premika po hiši, jo je prevzelo sočutje. Žena je pobrala na tleh košček papirja, zravnala prtič in razgrnila iz navade, ki si jo je morala usvojiti, kakor je sprevidela Linda, nekdaj v prejšnjih letih, zastore pri oknih, ženska je bila nedvomno vredna boljše usode. (Dalje prihodnjič.) ALI SE ZGODOVINA PONOVI? (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) je izprevidel, da ne more prezimiti v Moskvi, zato se je začel s svojo sestradano in prezeblo vojsko pomikati proti domu. Na tem umiku so bili Rusi francoskim četam vedno za petami in jih nadlegovali. Od francoske armade 400,000 mož se jih je j vrnilo domov na Francosko le j 20,000. Po tem porazu v Rusiji i je zvezda Napoleonove moči in 'slave hitro bledela in končno ugasnila. i j Leta 1914 so armade nemškega cesarja Viljema vdrle v j Rusijo in, dasi niso prodrle globoko v deželo, je ruski odpor I posebno v začetnih mesecih bojevanja preprečil, da Nemci na zapadni fronti niso mogli izvo-jevati takih odločilnih zmag, kakor so upali, da jih bodo. Ko je zaveznikom šlo najbolj trdo na zapadni fronti, so Rusi vdrli v Vzhodno Prusijo, odkoder so bili sicer po hudih bojih pregnani, toda Nemci so morali veliko število čet premestiti z zapadne fronte na rusko stran, kar je zaveznikom omogočilo, da so ustavili prodirajoče nemške armade. Kdor pozna zgodo-! vino, ve, da so tekom zadnje svetovne vojne poraz zavezni-i kov v prvih štadijih vojne pre-I prečili Rusi, pozneje pa Američani. Značilno je, da so Rusi tekom vsc*h treh navedenih ve-i i likih invazij na bojnem polju večinoma izgubljali, toda konč-i no so bili njihovi sovražniki r j premagani. In končna zmaga je > tista, ki šteje. Kdo ve, če napad , i na Rusijo ne pomeni začetek i konca za Hitlerja in nacijske - kohorte! Rusija je ogromna de-1 žela. Njena površina znaša 8,-j 819,791 kvadratnih milj, in pre-i bivalstva šteje skoro 200 mili- I jonov. Kontinentalne Zedinjene . države imajo 3,026,789 kvadratnih milj površine in 131 milijo-i nov prebivalcev. S svojimi po-i sestvi in teritoriji ima naša re-i publika 3,738,395 kvadratnih > milj površine, kar je še vedno . mnogo manj kot znaša površina ; Rusre. To pomeni, da je Rusija i pravi orjak že po svoji povr- > šini in prebivalstvu. 'j Nihče ne ve, kako se bo se-i danja rusko-nemška vojna razvijala, toda zdi se, da zavojevati •; tako ogromno deželo kot je Ru-i sija, ne bo lahka reč. Kdo ve, če se Rusi v slučaju potrebe, j ne bodo poslužili stare ruske ' taktike umikanja. In umikajo “Judita, bolje bi bilo, če bi poklicala Martina,” je vel ;la EKi ij tenkim glasom. “Oče je pri-Sel." \ Judita je brez besede vstala. Amalija je v kuhinji urno či-,stila lijak in postavila vanj skledo s kropom. Potegnila je brisačo z valjka in dela novo na njeno mesto. Odvezala si je predpasnik, si poravnala obleko in si naglo počesala lase pred počenim stenskim zrcalom. Tedaj so se odprle duri. Kaleb je. bil na prvi pogled pravi korenjak, toda ko je dospel d( sredine kuhinje, je mogla Linda razbrati, da je celo izpoa srednje postave. Toda krepka pleča in debela glava, ki mu je štrlela od ostalega trupla kot sirova skala od pečine, mu je dajala mogočno zunanjost. Ko je obrnila pozornost na spodnjo polovico njegovega telesa, se ji je pričel zdejti pokveka. Imel je razkuštrane sive lase, ki so mu viseli v koničastih kosmih okoli glave, zmrščene, od tobaka u-mazane brke in stršeče črne obrvi, ki so se mu dotikale iznad težkega, koščenega nosu. Oči podobne svetlim jagodam so naglo poiskale Lindo, ki jr. sedela v luči svetilke v hiši. Kaleb ni izptegovoril, preden ni obesil suknje in klobuka na kljuko in se umil pri lijaku. Linda je opazila, da je prišel s Kalebom zanikamo oblečen kmet v rdečem suknjiču. Tudi ta je slekel površnik in sedel brez besede na stol v kuhinji. Gospa Garova mu je nekaj pripovedovala, toda odgovorjal ji je le s pretrganimi enozložnicami, ki jih Linda ni mogla razločiti. Učiteljica je hkratu sprevidela, da ga je Amalija sprejela s prav tako hladno uslužnostjo, kakršno je kazala tudi do nje, ko je dospela popoldne z Johnom Tobaccom in se prvič sestala z njo na dvorišču. Kaleb ni izpre-govoril, dokler se ni umil. Sicer se ni dolgo umival, le z glavnikom se je dotaknil svojih r^z-kuštranih las. ‘''Skuli ostane čez noč pri nas,” je dejal naposled Amaliji. Njegov glas je Lindo presenetil. Bil je namreč izredno mehak, skoraj cmevkajoč. “Toda nobene prazne postelje nimam. Učiteljica je prišla,” ga je zavrnila rahlo gospa Garova. “Učiteljica — da, kajpada — učiteljica. Skuli prenoči tu,” je ponovil z nič večjim poudarkom kakor prvič. Poklical je Skulija in se odstranil s težkimi drsajočimi koraki v obednico, ki je bila sestavni del druge strani pritlične lesene hiše in kjer je hkrati spal z ženo. “Vi ste učiteljica, kakor se mi zdi,” je izpregovoril in sedel poleg železne peči, obrnjen napol od Linde. V izrazu njegovega obraza ni bilo ničesar, kar bi izdajalo njegovo presenečenje, ko je videl, da je učiteljica še . dekle. Gospodična je vstal:' in mu ponudila roko, ki je pa ni hotel videti. Linda je v zadregi zardela. “Tu je Skuli Erikson, drugi zaupnik vaše šole,” je dejal Kaleb in krepko zamahnil z roko proti Islandcu. Linda je ponudila Skuliju roko, ki jo je možakar' čvrsto stresel. “Prav za prav bi morali biti tu trije,” je nadaljeval Kaleb v J dolgočasnem tonu, kakor da bi dajal površno in pusto pojasni ! lo, ki bi ga lahko tudi opustil, “toda odkar je stari Joža Curtis umrl, ni bil' še imenovam drug zaupnik. Tukaj v neorganiziranem ozemlju se razvijajo stvari, kakor pač veter vleče. Ne vem, toda zdi se mi, da opravijo z nama prav tako dobro, kajne, Skuli?” Skuli je nekaj zagodrnjal, kar bi moglo biti tako pritrditev kakor zanikanje. Bil je nagluh, ““■povpraševanj med ohijskin11, avl govoril je prav malo angleško, j a razumel nekoliko več. j Čez nekaj trenotkov so sedeli ,vsi za mizo in večerjali, Linda med Elo in Martinom, a Skuli na drugem koncu mize vprav Kalebu nasproti. “Kaže, da bo zgodnja pomlad, eh, Skuli,” je zaklical Kaleb Islandcu. Skuli je prikimal. “Da,” je pritidil in segel krepko po' krompirju in omaki. Nastala je tišina, ki je med njo krožila hrana po mizi. Vsi otroci razen Judite so sedeli ob krožnikih s povešenimi očmi, kajti zavest, da je zraven njih tako ljubka in zala učiteljica, jim je prevlekla lica s sramežljivo rdečico. “Imel si mnogo dežja zadnji čas?” je vprašal Kaleb Skulija preko mize. Amalia je pogleda-j ia z lahno nejevoljo svojega > moža in potem Lindo, i “Nak,” je odvrnil Skuli. “Oni i teden pač. Zdaj je suho.” Med večerjo se je pomenkoval | Kaleb z redkobesednim Skuli-jem. Ta je bil nekak častni gost , večera. Linda je gledala preko ! mize Judito, ki so ji oči plamtc-. le. Učiteljica se je smehljala. Njej se ni zdelo niti napol tako ponižujoče, da jo je Kaleb pustil znemar, kakor Juditi. Po večerji je ostal položaj nespremenjen. Kaleb se je kaj malo brigal za učiteljico, kakor da je ne bi bil videl. Linda se je odstranila v kot k žimnati zofi i | • in odprla knjigo. Martin in Kar- j li, najmlajša v družinskem kro- j ' gu, sta odšla na še 1 nekončano; . molžo, a Judita je obrisala mi-; , zo, zložila krožnike in jih od- ‘ nesla v kuhinjo. j ] “Zaigraj nam kaj, Ela, daj1 ‘ zaigraj,” je prosil Kaleb. S Sku-lijem sta pomaknila stola k peči sredi hiše in sta potegnila pipi iz žepa. Oblaček modrega dima se je dvignil v obliki lijaka pod strop in ovil Kalebu glavo. Linda se je pri tem spomnila slike, ki jo je pekoč videla: topega sardonskega obraza fakirja, upirajočega oči predse, da bi objele demonske like, ki jih je pričaral. Ko je Judita pomagala v kuhinji, je odšla Ela pokorno h kla virju. Vzravnano in prisiljeno je sedela v svoji oprani delovni obleki, ki se je oeividno uskočila in zožila, tako da je postala pretesna celo njenim ozkim ple-čam in nerazvitim prsim. Nežni rjavi lasje, manj žive barve in mnogo mani svetli od Juditinih, so ji bili počesani nazaj. Niti enega mehkega kodrčka ni bile iznad precej visokega, močne belega čela. Obrvi so ji bile krasno usločene in črne ko na-črtane s črnilom. Za sijajnim | steklom naočnikov so ji plavale vlažne, plahe oči. Njeni koščeni, tenki prst je so prebirali tipke. “Da, Bjarnasson ima najboljše lovišče rib, o tem ni dvoma — ni dvoma,” je izjavil Kaleb glasno, ko je Ela igrala “Vodi nas, dobrotna Luč.” “Toda nikar naj ne misli, da bo polovil celo jezero. Ne, tako mi solnca — ne, tako mi solnca. Te dni pošljem tjakaj Martina z novimi mrežami — predaleč je, da bi mogel v času zmrzali kaj opraviti. Kaj meniš, Erikeon? Ali kaže pesti tudi tebi?” “Na-a-k,” je zamrmral Skuli. “Da mi vse, kar mi gre, umazani hudič. Vzamem si sam.” Možakarja sta se zakrohotala ob tej šali. Eli je zastala roka nad tipkami. Kaleb jo je ostro pogledal, nakar je ročno nadaljevala začeto pesem. Judita je prišla iz kuhinje in sedla na kožuhovino na tleh. Za njo je prišel pes in ji položil glavo v naročje. Deklica je vzdihnila in se naslonila trudno na steno. Linda je opazila, kako je izredno lepa. Bila je podobna živali v pravljici — morda kentavri-nji. Kaleb se je zapredel v raz- & , se lahko silno daleč, pa bodo še, vedno na svojem in ne premagani. Ne vemo, toda mogoče jo! in upati smemo, da bo do sedaj I nepremagljivi nacijski zmaj ravno na stepah slovanske Rusije tako izkrvavel, da se bo vj doglednem času zrušil pod udarci zapadnih demokracij. DOPIS1 St. Louis, Mo. — Upali smo, da bo naše društvo Missouri! Eagles, št. 87 ABZ, tudi repre-zentirano na letošnji mladinski konvenciji s svojim delegatom,1 pa nismo uspeli. Je težko doseči) uspeh, če je delo odvisno le od; ene ali dveh oseb. Bomo pa v j prihodnji kampanji bolj pridni. Mlajši člani našega društva so organizirali svoj klub, imenovan Missouri Eagles Juniors.! Imeli smo že več sestankov in , zabav in upam, da ima klub do-n bro bodočnost. j < V nedeljo 20. julija bodo vsa jr tukajšnja slovenska društva i priredila skupni piknik. Prostor!. piknika bo Hoffman’s Grove,' j Telegraph & Yaeger Roads. Pr- ^ vi bus bo odpeljal izpred Slo- } venskega narodnega doma točno ( ob 10. uri dopoldne. Prosta vož- £ nja z bugom se bo nadaljevala j od konca South Broadway črte od 11. ure dopoldne do 5. ure popoldne. Nazaj bodo busi vozili od 7. ure zvečer do 11. ure zvečer. Na pikniku bodo vsakovrstne igre in tekme in dobra godba. Na razpolago bo tudi pečena jagnjetina in razna druga, o-krepčila. Vstopnina za prireditev bo le 25 centov za osebo. Vsak član je prošen, da prispeva eno škatlo blaga za “country store.” Taki prispevki se lahko oddajo na domu Franka Kodelja ali na domu Mary Beg. člani našega društva so prošeni, da razprodajo kar največ vstopnic. Naše društvo je majhno, toda lahko dosti pripomore k dobremu uspehu piknika. John Gruber se je povrnil s počitnic v New Yorku; upamo, da se je dobro imel. Dne 18. julija bo rojstni dan naše članice Mary Beg in vse članstvo ji za to priliko vošči vse najbolje, saj je ena izmed najbolj aktivnih naših članic. K sklepu še enkrat: ne pozabite piknika v nedeljo 20. julija. Pokažimo vsakemu kaj morejo storiti Missouri Eagles, če se zavzamejo. Na svidenje na pikniku ! — Za društvo št. 87 ABZ: Emily Kodelja .tajnica. Brooklyn, N. Y. — Tem potom naznanjam članstvu društva Sv. Petra, št. 50 ABZ, da se bo naša polletna seja vršila v soboto 19. julija. Vršila se bo v navadnih prostorih in se bo pričela ob 8. uri zvečer.

Za društvo št. 50 ABZ: Valentine Orehek, tajnik. brali pravo pot za proslavo. Če se nas udeleži veliko število prihodnje seje, bo mokra in kratka. (Kaj ste rekli? Op. ured.) Moja želja bi bila, da bi pro slavo 35-le t n i c e ustanovitve ovenčali s tem, da bi v tem jubilejnem letu dobili v naše društvo in v Ameriško bratsko zvezo 35 novih članov odraslega oddelka in 35 novih članov mladinskega oddelka. Delavske raz-■ mere so zdaj precej dobre in '■ tako rekoč vsak lahko plača tiste cente za asesment. Marsikdo ni član naše Ameriške bratske zveze samo zato, ker ga ni nihče seznanil z njo in ker ga ni nihče povabil, da pristopi. Bratje in sestre, vsi imate prijatelje in prijateljice, povabite jih, da pri-! stopijo v naše društvo in Ameriško bratsko zvezo, ako še niso. Nič ne morete izgubiti s tem, tudi prijateljstva ne, pač pa boste storili dobro delo vašemu prijatelju, koristili boste društvu in Ameriški bratski zvezi in še denarne nagrade od strani Zveze boste deležni. Torej vsi vzroki govorijo za to, da pridobivate nove člane, in nobeden proti. — Pozdrav in na svidenje na seji v nedeljo 20. julija popoldne! — Za društvo št. 66 ABZ: Joseph Ancel, podpredsednik. __________________ Ludlow, Colo. — Na zadnji seji društva Sloga, št. 233 ABZ, je bilo sklenjeno, da priredi naše društvo veselico v soboto 26. julija. Prirejena bo na Highway 85, Ludlow. Vsi člani in članice Ameriške bratske zveze ter vsi drugi rojaki in rojakinje, ki bivajo v tem okrožju, so prijazno vabljeni, da nas posetijo na tej veselici. Dalje obveščam člane in članice našega društva, da se bo naša redna seja ta mesec vršila v nedeljo 27. julija. V nedeljo 20. julija se bo vršilo zborovanje federacije društev ABZ v državi Colorado, in zaradi tega zborovanja je naša društvena seja odložena s tretje na četrto) nedel;:o. člani naj pomnijo, da se bo naša društvena seja ta mesec vršila 27. julija in naj se iste kar mogoče polnoštevilno udeležijo.

S članstvom napredujemo še dosti dobro. Prijazna štorklja se je oglasila pri naši članici Marti Kregar in ji za spomin pustila zalega fantiča. Tako dobi naše društvo novega člana mladinskega oddelka, stric Sam pa vojaka, kadar bo odrastel. V tem času so bili od našega društva poklicani v armado že trije člani. Kar se dela tiče je povoljno, to se pravi, da zdaj dobi delo vsak, če le ni prestar. V listih se pa malo oglašamo, ker smo vsi bolj take vrste, da neradi pišemo. Na svidenje na seji 20. julija! — Za društvo št. 99 ABZ: Frances Koritnik, tajnica. I pr imerih in vseh časih, ne pa i samo takrat, ko pride v hišo ! bolezen ali smrt. Pri tej priliki želim, opozoriti ! tiste člane, katerim sem poslal i opomine, da bi vsaj nekoliko poravnali svoje dolgove pri društvu, pa se niti ne zmenijo za tiste opomine, da bom primoran I podvzeti druge korake. Če je tem članom tako malo za njihovo društvo, tudi ni treba, da bi bilo društvu kaj več zanje. Odloga za plačilo se ne bo več j dajalo. Danes so taki časi, da vsak lahko dela, če le hoče, in tudi lahko plača, če le hoče. Toliko prizadetim v obvestilo. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo ! št. 66 ABZ: ; John Adamich, tajnik.!

Vsak član bo dobil vstopnico za banket na seji, in bo moral plačati 50 centov z asesmentom. To se pravi, da vsak član plača ta izredni asesment, za kar dobi vstopnico za banket in ples. Oddaljenim članom sem poslal vstopnice po pošti, poleg tega še vsakemu eno posebej, da jo skuša prodati svojemu prijatelju. ; Vsi tisti, ki kaj dolgujejo! tajniku na asesmentu, naj pri- j dejo naravnost k tajniku plačati! asesment, ne pa puščati denar! drugod, ker v takem slučaju j tajnik dostikrat ne ve, ža kateri mesec so prizadeti hoteli plačati. Zmede nastanejo prav po-! sebno lahko letos, ko smo ime-! li naklado v maju, sedaj ra vstopnice za banket. Torej, o-j lajšajte delo tajniku in plačajte asesmente naravnost njemu. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo Sloga, št. 174 ABZ: Frank Kramar, tajnik. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Tem potom vabim vse člane in članice društva Sv. Štefana, št. 26 ABZ, da se udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 20. julija. Seja se bo vršila v navadnih prostorih Slovenskega doma in se bo pričela ob 2. uri popoldne. Na tej seji, ki bo polletna, bodo prečitani šestmesečni računi in na programu bo še več drugih važnih zadev. Letos bo 40-letnica ustanovitve našega društva in treba bo na seji 20. julija kaj ukreniti glede proslave tega jubileja. Zato je res važno, da pridejo na sejo po možnosti vsi člani in članice. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 26 ABZ: John Jurgel, tajnik. Joliet, III. — člani in članice društva Sv. Petra in Pavla, št. 66 ABZ, so vljudno vabljeni, da se udeleže prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 20. julija. Kakor je članstvu znano, je bilo že lani na decemberski seji sklenjeno, da bo naše društvo letos obhajalo 35-letnico svojega obstanka in delovanja. Petintrideset let je dolga doba, tekom katfere je naše društvo doprineslo mnogo dobrega svojemu članstvu in naši naselbini v splošnem, zato je pravilno, da se ta obletnica proslavi kar najlepše. Vsled tega naj bi se članstvo polnoštevilno udeležilo pri- ! hodnje seje, da bomo ukrenili | kar najboljše za proslavo naše! 35-letnice. V^ak nasvet bo do-| brodošel, in kolikor več dobrih; nasvetov bo, tem lažje bomo iz-! I J Joliet, lil• • člani in članice društva Sv. Petra in Pavla, št. 66 ABZ, so prošeni, da se kar mogoče številno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 20. julija in se bo pričela ob 1. uri popoldne. Na pro gramu omenjene seje bo več važnih zadev, med temi prečita-nje trimesečnih računov in raz-motrivanje o naši veselici, katero nameravamo prirediti 9. novembra v dvorani Slovenija. Ker bo naše društvo letos obhajalo 35-letnico ustanovitve, bi bilo priporočljivo, da bi se člani posebno zanimali za to zadevo. Društvo je bilo ustanovljeno v pomoč svojim članom in je vseh 35 let točno in bratsko vršilo svojo samaritansko nalogo. Zato se že spodobi, da na primeren način proslavimo to obletnico. Kdor ima kake dobre nasvete v tem oziru, naj gotovo pride na prihodnjo sejo in jih predloži članstvu.
