PRESIDENT'S Message
Dear members:
Membership Campaign is now in effect and the deadline is March 31, 1972.
Individual! who enrolls most new members will be the Woman of the Year and will receive round ticket fare to the Convention where she will be honored or an alternative prize of $50.00 cash.
Branch meetings again have resumed and I appeal to all the branch Presidents and Secretaries to emphasize this campaign at their meeting and ask each member to try and do her part by enrolling one new member. Our aim is to build up our Zveza and keep it in the limelight. We have done very well in the past years and are noted to be the first In many ventures and let’s keep on striving and bring in good ideas for Union and iits members.
As you all know and read that many cities, villages throughout United States are organizing ethnic groups where their mother tongue is again being revised. Our Slovenian Women’s Union is a very good organization to belong to as we still try and keep our Slovenian language and tradition one that we all should be proud of. Many of the younger generation do not sipeak it and wish they knew how, now that is why so many are interested to learn to speak and read the language. There are many schools and colleges that are having courses for those that would like to ileann the different languages including Slovenian. One of the teachers who is teaching Slovenian at a High School here in Cleveland is our secretary of Br. 50, Julia Gorensek.
At this time I wish to congratulate the five students that have received our S.W.U. scholarships. I was very im-piessed on the nice articles they had written and wish them luck and success iin their choosen careers.
Dawn Choral group of Cleveland, are sponsoring their third annual concert Sunday November 26, 1972 at 4 P.M. at Rehar hall, Euclid, Ohio. Director Frank Gorensek has prepared many new songs which I know you all will enjoy hearing. Those of you who have attended the past two concerts know what marvelous entertainment they had pres-
ented. After the concert dancing will be to the music of Ed Buehner. Remember the date November 26th and see you all at the concert.
From the report that I received on the State Convention held at Ely, Minnesota, it was a great success with 370 present at the banquet and our Editor Corimne Leskovar was their guest. Meeting was presided by State President, Barbara Rosandich.
State Convention held in Pueblo, Colorado was presided by Anna Pachak and also was a successful one and their guest was our Secretary, Fanika Humar accompanied by her husband. She also visited our members at Crested Butte, Leadville and Denver, Colorado.
State Convention of Ohio and Michigan I shall report next month, as it was to be held on October 29th and the guest will be Editor Coninne Leskovar. Wisconsin State Convention also was to be held in October on the 22 at Willard, Wise.
Happy Birthday to all celebrating in the month of November and speedy recovery to all ailing.

MRS. PRISLAND PROMOTES SLOVENIANS'
The above is the titfe of a recent newspaper article which appeared throughout Wisconsin. It was written by John Wyngaard author of The Wisconsin Report. Mr. Wyngaard is a well known columnist whose articles appear in the Green Bay Gazette, Appleton Post Crescent, Madison News Bureau and The Sheboygan Press as well as many other publications covering the state. Now, on to the story about the above headline.
Mr. Wyngaard had written a previous article about some of the distinguished and distinct of the immigrant strains of the state population and went on to list many of the ethnic groups and spoke of their contribution to the culture of our fine state. However, he neglected the Slovenians. Mrs. Prisland noted the ommission and wrote Mr. Wyngaard and politely admonished him for this oversight. In his article dated Friday Sept. 15, 1972
he writes, “It was inevitable, perhaps, and a more cautious scrivener would have realized it, the ommision was not through intent, but under pressure of space. Now come the reminders, most of them gentle and good-humored, of which the amicable letter of Mrs. Marie Prisland, 1034 Dillingham Avenue, Sheboygan, an officer of the Slovenian Women's Union of America, is an example. I missed the Slovenians, the lady remonstrates politely, and asks leave to relate some details about them. There are about
40.000 Wisconsin residents of Slovenian decent in the Milwaukee-West Allis metropolitan area, more than
3.000 in Sheboygan, smaller groups elsewhere in industrial as well as farming communities, such as Willard, Wisconsin:	most of them with churches, parish schools, fraternal and educational societies, singing and dramatic groups concerned about the
preservation of their unique folk culture, I am informed. Mrs. Prisland is herewith thanked, with cordiality, and other ethnic strains in the population are asked for forgiveness for an apparent but unintended oversight”.
Your reporter remembered reading the original article and I wondered why the Slovenians were not mentioned, but like to many others, it was just a fleeting thought which I dismissed from my mind and went on to another page of the newspaper. It was Mrs. Prisland who took the initiative to do something about it. The Slovenian heritage has been brought to the attention of thousands of readers in this state. So, THANK YOU. MRS. PRISLAND.
Perhaps, here in Sheboygan this could have led to the very successful results of our card party of Branch 1 which was held at Ss. Cyril & Me-thoduis church hall just five days after the article appeared in print. As one of the chairman, I would like to take

WIIHOUl OUR OLGA... AND ACCORDION ?
S.W.U. BOWLING NEWS
No. 2 CHICAGO, ILL.
The 1972-1973 S.W.U., bowling season is well under way at Townhall Bowl on Tuesday nights again, with ma'ny new faces and two new sponsors.
Running true to form this early in the season, the leaders change from week to week. As of September 26, Zefran Funeral Home had the lead, with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses. K. and K. Market and Dr. Grill were tied for second with 8 wins and 4 losses.
Four teams, with 7 wins and 5 losses, were tied for fourth: Marquette Super Service, Lawn Fence, Wagner’s Bakery and Reliance Federal. Rounding out the ten teams were: St. Paul Federal, S.W.U. Headquarters and Zarja.
This year we have an even wider range of averages, due to some of our new young bowlers —from a low of 60 to a high of 166. K. and K. Market has the lead in high team series with 2651; Zefran’s 944 is the high team game. D. Maes is the leader in high individual series with 620. S. Gorka leads in high individuail game with 227. These are ail handicap scores.
As we all seem to be trying to get back into the groove, there still were some bright spots during the first month of bowling. Stel I e Gorka, our perennial star, came up with a 555 series, which included games of 214, 189 and 152. She also had a 508 series, with a 200 game.
Helen Fitzgerald rolled games of 181, 187 and 153, for a 521 series. Other high series: B. Schacht, 497; A. Hozzian, 487; Bernie Haas, 483; D. Maes, 482.
There were plenty of railroad pickups during September: A. Vucko, 3-5-
10,	5-10 and 6-7-10; A. Saivino. 5-7; A. Hozzian, 4-7-10; M. Persa, 5-10; H. Fitzgerald, 3-7-10; E. Statkus (2), D. Maes, S. Melissa, 3-10; G. Dellegrazie, 5-7; C. Wrezzes, 2-7; L. Mallo, 3-10, 5-9-10; 5-7.
It looks like another interesting season. I”ill be here every month to give you all the details.
BARBARA ZUREK
this opportunity to thank all those who contributed toward making our card party the great success that it was.
My best to all of you out there.........
hope to see you in Willard for our State Convention.
Very truly yours,

The Sheboygan Press August 8, 1972
By PAT SLATTERY
Press Staff Writer
There is a woman in Sheboygan who goes to more picnics than anyone else. .. and none of them would be the same without her.
She is known as Olga Plesetz Saye, a name which has as smooth a sound to it as a lingering C-major chord. For the last 20 years she has been supplying the "good old tunes” for almost any type of get-together imaginable. Olga is a one-woman band. There is little need for anybody else.
Mrs. Saye was introduced to the accordion in her early 20s. Since the age of eight she has been playing piano, and picking up the basics of the accordion was second nature to her. Four days after taking her first accordion lesson she entertained at a picnic.
Fun With Accordion
“The piano is a much more difficult instrument but I have more fun with an accordion’, the female entertainer says. “I think it’s an instrument that sounds like a full band. It also brings out a special gayety in people".
Olga’s popularity at picnics is not only due to her musical ability but also to the fact that she enjoys her work.
Olga thinks that establishing a good rapport with the crowd is highly important for any entertainer.
"I try to remember people at the different picnics”, she says. “As soon as I see them I play their favorite tunes. It keeps the people happy”.
According to Olga the two songs most often requested are "Someone Like You” and “Let Me Call You Sweetheart”. She has 312 songs in her repertoire committed to memory.
All nationalities seem to have one instrument that is espeoially important to them. The slaves on the plantations used to have the banjo; the Scottish have bagpipes; and Olga’s ethnic group, the Slovenians, have the accordion.
Slovenian Favorite
A special group that Mrs. Saye heads is the Slovenian Women's Union local branch, which has 260 members. The branch sponsors a group of Folk Singers who travel with Olga and sing Slovenian songs dressed in native costumes.
Although Olga has more than enough job requests than she can handle, there have been fewer youths taking up the accordion in the last few years. Blame it on the guitar or lack of a sense of heritage, but far fewer of the Slovenian parents are sending their children to Olga's house for accordion instructions.
It's kind of frightening to think what might happen to picnicis in the years after Olga retires. But at least for now Olga will keep everybody’s foot tapping to the accordion acoustics.
Is ewwvrrybody happy?
Congratulations, Olga! You are not only a fine musician but also an efficient president of Sheboygan branch. We are proud of you!

To Br. 24 of LaSalle, III. our sincere congratulations! and thank you! for the successful lllinois-lndiana State Convention!
On Sunday, Oct. 1st, our convention began with a procession Into St. Roch’s church. The mass was celebrated by the pastor, Fr. Železnikar and a fine choir sang several Slovenian hymns.
The banquet and meeting were held in the St. Roch's school gym. The food was well-prepared and efficiently served buffet style. In the midst of happy talkative sisters were many old and new friends.
Delegates from each branch reported on a Questionnaire which had previously been sent to each branch by State President, Ann Lustig of St. Chicago. Corinne Leskovar, of Dawn editor, proposed that each branch give some thought to supporting Sloveni-cum In Rome. Our National Secretary, Fanika Humar, spoke on the need to work together in order to reach our goals. I especially applauded her idea of limiting each speaker from the floor to two minutes in order to keep the pace of the meeting moving and allowing more members to share their views.
Ann Lustig of Br. 16 was re-elected to the lllinois-lndiana State Presidency.
Our hostess branch, No. 24 of La Salle, we salute for a fine welcome and well-planned banquet. Many branches were well represented with over 150 members in the hall. With these fine members, our SWU should be able to carry on the work of the year ahead. The many fine examples of past works that have been achieved should be a guide to us now and in the future. We must all work to meet our chosen goals, this is not only the work of officers but as members, our active participation is necessary. Our ideas need to be expressed, positive or negative, i'n order that this organization will be a benefit to its members.

Plans for our yearly “Penny Social" are in full swing. It will be held on Thursday evening, Nov. 9th. Last year’s “Penny Social'' was a great success because of the large attendance and the numerous donated prizes. We would like to have another similar success this year and are appealing to you, dear members, to come and join us for that evening and bring something along for the prize table.
Many members have not paid their dues. If you are among them please
the money to the next meeting.
There will be a separate report on the State Convention, therefore I will make this short.
See you all at the Penny Social, ....

No. 12, MILWAUKEE, WIS.
Our meetings started up again and though we had a fair crowd, quite a few were missiing due to a family death. Our sympathy goes to the Starich family and relatives as well as the Cvetan’s whose funeral I just missed as I was on my way home from a very much needed rest. I treated myself to a visit to my hometown of Ely where the Minnesota State Convention was being held, and right on my birthday. I must congratulate them on a very smooth, well-run meeting, very much to the point and I must say, I enjoyed their guest, Corinne Leskovar’s speech about the “Zarja”. It’s one we all should he hear! It was good to see so many familiar faces all in one place. The potica itself was worth the trip!
We are in high hopes of having a bus full of members attending the Wisconsin State Convention at Willard which at this writing is still two weeks away.
It was also decided to have our Fall Card Party on Sunday, Nov. 19th, at the Lily Club. It’s to be a Poultry Card Party, so let’s get a good crowd to help pay for expenses at the end of the year.
The meeting ended with prayer and a “Happy Birthday” song for Stavia Dobersek and myself was sung. I forgot all about it but was glad Stavia remembered to bring a cake. She also
brought the bread, pickles, etc. so we again left feeling stuffed. Several of our favorite games were also played with all the luck being with the birthday table. Let’s more of us join in the next month’s activities. Remember, meetings are held on the third Thursday at 1:00 p.m.
Cookbooks and “Slovenia to America” are still for sale as well as cash prizes for expenses for the National Convention in May, 1973 m Chicago. See your officers for these.

At our September meeting we learned of the death of our long time member Rose Skul. The next evening, many members gathered together to pay their last respects and participated in the Liturgical Services. Rose and her daughter, Anne Springer, attended our meetings regularly and helped make all our projects a success. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the Springer, Skul and Banich families in their bereavement.
Anna Lustig announced that arrangements were complete for our bus trip to the Illinois State Convention in La Salle, Illinois. Through her efforts nine beautiful gifts were donated to this project. The gifts were awarded to Pauline Klobučar, Sylvia Spretnjak (2), Jean Bukvich, Barbara Pastirik, Pat Schwer, Pat Lustig, Tanya Beck and Edith Forsland.
Members present to celebrate their birthdays at the September meeting were Josephine Blasovieh, Anna Lustig, Dorothy Plebanski and Zinka Sesek. We all enjoyed the treats they brought.

Welcome back to all of our vacationers that were touring the United States, Canada, Europe and other nations. From the reports everyone had a wonderful time, except that the time passed too quickly.
Mary Grasch on her way to Europe, met with an accident, landed in the hospital with a broken leg and injuries; she was on the mend, and several weeks ago had to re-enter the hospital to have surgery. Mary, ouir very best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope to see you at our next meeting. Best wishes are extended also to Kathy Maikowsky and Bernadette Iverson after having surgery. Hope to see you two gals some bowling night, when you feel better.
Tony AND I were pleasantly surprised on our 25 th wedding anniversary by our relatives and friends. It was a very memorable evening and we both wish to thank everyone for making that night a most treasured memory.
A week after our party, Angeline and Edward Starich celebrated their 25th. anniversary with their relatives and friends. 25 years ago, it was just reversed. Angie & Ed got married a week before Tony & I. On September 18th, the Lord called Ed to His domain. Our condolences are extended to Angeline and her family. Our deepest sympathy also goes out to the families of Theresa Rauter (her husband passed away several years ago) and Mrs. Mary Pornath. She was well-known in West Allis and Milwaukee as having an interest in the Pornath Bakery.

On behalf of our branch, thanks and best wishes to Br. 23, Ely, Minn, for the very successful and enjoyable Minnesota Zveza Day.
The program began with Fr. John Dolsina's celebration of mass at St. Anthony’s church and his sermon was most inspiring. He said we must be proud of our Slovenian heritage, of the work that the Slovenian Women’s Union has accomplished and the men and women of Slovenian descent who have contributed so much to our American history. We will always remember his words. Thank you, Father John Dolsina, and good luck in your new parish at Aurora.
The banquet and musicail program that followed were just wonderful. We expend our compliments to Mary Pal-cher the toastmistress who led the program very well, the Mayor of Ely, Dr. Grahek and Supreme Officers Barbara Rosandich and Annie Podgoršek who both spoke to the need of keeping our membership growing and alive in Minnesota. Then came our guest speaker, Editor, Corinne Leskovar who made a very enthusiastic speech for the future of our organization and asking us to bring in the young and youthful members of our community.
She invited us to come to Chicago for the National Convention in May.
The entire day was delightful and we thank Mary Hutar, the singing leader of Ely who gave us such beau tifml singing to remember. The sound of the quartette still rings in my ears We hope we'll have another opportu nity to hear them soon.
Thanks again to Br. 23, to our Edi tor, Corinne and to the Supreme Of ficers for their work and interest. Greetings to all members.

A large group of members attended the annual State Convention held in LaSalle, III. It was a pleasant reunion of many friendly members from all Illinois communities. The day was beautifui and everyone enjoyed the food, and the speeches given by the Supreme Officers. This was the place where preparations were made for the tri-enniai convention to be held in Chicago in May next year. This was the place where members couid tell their minds, their grievances, their questions and make their reports.
The Mass at St. Roch’s church was offered by their pastor, Rev. Mike Železnikar who that day also celebrated his 81st birthday. His inspiring sermon reached the hearts of everyone.
Thank you, ladies from LaSalle for your cordial welcome and wish you all success in your branch and hope to see you next year again.
Vacation time is over and many have come back from their European vacations. We note that our member, Josephine Bercic spent 10 weeks among her relatives, also Helen Stojin from Rockdale was very happy to spend her summer in Slovenia.

Minnesota Zveza Day held Sept. 10th hosted by the Ely branch was another lovely day and most successful! Impressive was the large number of branches represented in great numbers. It was inspiring to see the buses coming in from various cities on the Range and Duluth. About 350 members and delegates attended the meeting, with Barbara Rosandich, State President, presiding.
The National Convention in Chicago next May was discussed and the Minnesota branches decided to meet next fall in Chisholm. Angeline Karish of Biwabik, a long time worker for Zveza was selected as our new State President Candidate. We congratulate her and with all her vitality and knowledge of the organization, we know she too will do a splendid job. Our deepest thanks to Barbara Rosandah who has done wonderful work as the State President of Minnesota for the past years and we know we shall miss her guidance and counsel.
The beautiful mass which was offered by Fr. John Dolsina followed our meeting at the St. Anthony’s church hall. His theme was the Slovenian heritage, and was most inspiring. The choir sang beautifully also. The banquet and program that followed were excellent. No one left the table hungry you can rest assured. The marvelous quartette and community singing directed by Mary Hutar was out of this world.
Corinne Leskovar, our Zarja editor, represented the Supreme Office. We were honored to have her present

FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART
Thank you, Minnesota
One of the nicest recollections of my trip to Ely, Minnesota for Zveza Day Sept. 10th was the sight of so many people involved! The Ely committee under the direction of their Secretary and State President, Barbara Rosandich and President, Mary Shi-konya, were most efficient and diligent. They worked like little bees at their various stations and gave everyone the impression there was no work at all to it! This surely must be the mark of efficiency! My compliments.
I cannot describe the good work of these young women without commending their leaders, the officers of the Ely branch and also the friends of Zveza that participated in the day such as their Spiritual Advisor, Rev. John Dolsina who set the tone of the day with his remarks in church and his direction to have the choir singing Slovenian hymns, even tho most of them are not Slovenian! It was indeed a tribute to the Slovenian Women’s Union thru his efforts. We felt so warmly welcomed by the appearance of Mayor J.P. Grahek and his lovely wife and the cooperation of Judge John Somrock and his wife who is our Ely reporter. Thru the Somrocks' help we have the photos in this issue of Minnesota Zveza Day! Toastmistress Mary Palcher is a dear and did her chore with flourish and style. The musical genious of Mary Hutar is well known to all the people on the Range, but she surpassed even herself by presenting quartette of operatic quality in the most beautiful folksongs and favorites. I have never heard such a medly of Slovenian songs as she compiled and heard it sung so well. To her, her brother Bernard Hutar and brother and sister duo, Frank Shepel and Josephine Luthanen, with Catherine Merhar at the piano (another sister of Mary’s) our thanks for a most delightful musical afternoon.
Let me also thank the Duluth members who had me join them on their bus to Ely and their president Fran Blatnik and her family for their warm hospitality.
From the first letter of invitation that I received from Ely to the last adieu to Ann Podgoršek, our Supreme Auditor of Duluth, who was my diligent liason between all of us, it was a most rewarding and inspiring experience. We all enjoyed being good friends. Thank you.
CORINNE LESKOVAR
HI BOYS AND GIRLS!
“It is assuredly better to go laughing than crying through the rough journey of iife”. Most Americans would agree with these words of George Washington.
The presidency is perhaps the most tiring, serious and pressurized job in the entire world. The responsibilities are tremendous, the hours endless and one crisis follows another. And a President maintains his mental balance through a sense of humor, each with his own peculiar brand —dry, gentle, sharp or devastating.
In the commotion of politics the gloomy man seldom gets to the top. A requirement for election day success is good fellowship and wit. Only Washington it seems was able to ignore this requirement. He rarely laughed or smiled in public because of his continuing battle of keeping his false teeth in place. But the Father of our Country was a different individual among personal friends lively and unreserved.
Known for his punctuality George Washington always expected his dinner guests to be on time. He would wait no more than five minutes before starting dinner, whether ail his guests had arrived or not.
When late dinner guests arrived to find Washington and the punctual guests eating dinner ail ready, Washington would often remark:
"Sir, I have a cook who never asks whether the company has come but whether the hour has come”.
The title of the most humorous president may be conferred on Calvin Coolidge. His was a deadpan humor that made others chuckling by the clever -use of a single word or a short sentence.
"Congressman Allen T. Treadway of Massachusetts asked Coolidge for a new portrait photograph, explaining he had an old one taken when the President was Lieutenant Governor of that state. ‘I don’t see what you want another one for,’ said Coolidge. ‘I’M still using the same face.”
The first time a government messenger came to the White House to hand Coolidge his Presidential paycheck, Cal gave it a careful look, folded it and put it in his pocket. Without a trace of a smile he said, "Call again.”
One of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge’s favorite stories about her husband concerned the time when he was vice-president and a dinner companion said
to him, “you must talk to me, Mr. Coolidge. I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you.” The vice-president said “You lose.”
Once Coolidge had breakfast with a British ambassador. Anxious not to make any false moves, the Britisher imitated the President’s table manners. When Coolidge lifted his coffee cup and placed it upside down on the table, the diplomat did the same. When Coolidge carefully poured milk into his saucer, the puzzled ambassador took the cue. Then Coolidge, smiling only slightly, leaned down with the full saucer and gave it to a gray cat waiting at his feet.
Abraham Lincoln said that a funny story of genuine wit "has the same effect on me that I suppose a good square drink of whiskey has on an old toper; it put new life into me.”
Mary Todd, Lincoln's wife, came from a high-toned family. He was once asked whether the Todds spelled their name with one or two d’s.
“One d is enough for God,” Lincoln said. "But the Todds need two.”
Lincoln told the story of the little girl who had some blocks with letters on them. She was learning her ABC’s with the use of those blocks, and one night before going to bed, she was playing with them. When she got into bed she started to say her prayers, but she was so sleepy that ail she could say was, “Oh, Lord, I am too sileepy to say my prayers. Here are the blocks and the letters; you spell it out.”
Thomas Jefferson was not often thought of as a humorous man. But at -Tames Madison’s inauguration, Jefferson was followed everywhere by a crowd of admiring women. When a friend commented on this fact, Jefferson replied, ‘‘That is as it should be, since I am too old to follow them.”
Woodrow Wilson disliked the practice of setting aside special weeks as Be Kind to Animals Week, Music Week and Better Home Week. He suggested there be a week for people to mind their own business.
His Secretary of State had arranged for a friend to see the President about a certain matter. Later, the Secretary of State asked the President what his impression was of the man he had sent to see him.
"That of a bungalow,” said Wilson. “No 'Upper story.”
While president of Princeton University, Wilson entertained the guests

TODAY THIS SPACE is dedicated to one of our outstanding members: Marie Christine Bombach Dye PH. D.
Marie Bombach was Zveza’s first scholarship winner in the 1949-50 scholastic year. At that time she wrote: “With deepest gratitude I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the very welcome $200.00 scholarship. You can imagine how happy I aim; how grateful I shall always be for this helping hand that has been given me thus enabling me to continue my education”.
Mrs. Bombach Dye is a charter member of branch No. 105, Detroit and a former secretary of that branch. She advanced far in the educational field. After graduating from Detroit State University she pursued further studies at Michigan, Ohio and Indiana Universities qualifying for her Doctoral Degree in Education Psychology.
Besides teaching the deaf, retarded and underprivileged in La Porte, Indiana and Detroit, she is interested in writing both on a free lance basis and with the Detroit NEW CENTER NEWS. She helped to prepare a special 10th Anniversary of Gary (Indiana) Diocese issue foi OUR SUNDAY VISITOR in magazine form.
She is interested in Lincolni an a and helped to prepare several articles on President Lincoln. In 1970 Mrs. Dye was requested by the State of Michigan to set up and teach a speoial experimental crash program of education for adults. This program was so successful that a federal grant has been renewed ever since. She was honored by the government for this program.
In conjunction with the Sociology Department of Wayne State University and the International Institute she was involved in "People of Detroit”, a federally- funded research project of ethnic groups in and around Detroit.
Her interest also lies in Wayne State University’s Medical School’s research and studies in cardiology. She is interested in music and art and is also a poetess. She has excellent command of the Slovenian language. Her husband, William Alfred Dye, is a writer and a public relations man. They have a ten year old daughter.
For Zveza’s silver jubilee, M^rie composed a wreath of 25 stanzas. Two of these are as follows:
3lve
curd
"These years, what do they mean, these years of passing time? Whence comes their nobility, whence comes their fame sublime?
It comes not from passing time, which doth not endure,
But from noble deeds therein done which makes the world secure. Each year with vigorous rhythm pulsating each year with True courage filled —never was stilled”.
IN GRATITUDE
"I would have never seen this campus, the tower, the grass, the lovely flowers;
I would never have known such friends nor spent so many happy hours, I would not have drunk of Pierian’s sweet perfume, my greatest dream would not have lived,
In college halls for me there’d be no room, had you not given me your helping hand, had you not macie my dreams come true.
May God for all your kindness shower his blessings on you.”
Rev. Claude Okorn, O.F.M.:
TEARS ARE HUMAN ^am Ck”al$”“)*Cfihcert Tleu*
Some people hide their tears to show their strength. Some people keep their sorrows secret because weeping seems a source of shame for them, and heavy-hearted are those whose eyes are dry because their wound is so deep that they cannot let the hurt out at all. The loneliest of people are those who have no one in whose presence they feel free to weep, no one whose responding love can reedem them from the sadness that has settled into their souls. It is a hard thing to cry, but it is not a bad thing. It i<s a tragic thing to cry alone because this means we have built wails around our lives, wails so high that nobody else can see over them. Our tears not onily express the deep wells of our feelings but they also make us one with all men who have ever loved or tried to reach out in a tender or caring way to anybody else. Our tears redeem us when they reveal us clearly to another, unshielded from the consequences or the risks that are involved in being human.
If we have cried ourselves, we find something to give back of ourselves to the suffering and the sorrowful ail around us. We need not move away from them bidding them to hide their tears because they hurt us so much.
We have gone that same human path and we understand how in our grief the presence of another person can bring a certain wholeness to our sorrow. We give life when we learn from our own weeping how to give ourselves with gentleness and compassion to the sighs and struggles of other people. The Psalmist was no stranger to weeping and neither was the Lord, who cried over Jerusalem and the death of h'is friend, Lazarus. St. Paul tells us that the whole earth groans and cries out longing for fulfillment. Mature tears are signs of the same kind of longing, a kinship with the world as yet unfulfilled. Our tears tell us that we are alive, that we have roots in the lives of others and that we have been touched by the warmest of suns, human love. We should resolve that nobody we love, ever has to cry alone.
Recording many months of hard and deligent work, the Dawn Choral Group wiilil celebrate their fifth anniversary with a Concert at the Slovenian Society Home on Recher Avenue in Euclid on Sunday, November 26th.
Ohio State President Mary Bostian organized this singing club in the late summer months of 1967 and now serves as the Honorary President. Calling on all the neighboring branches of the Slovenian Women’s Union, she felt a combined effort could be made to start something new for the Union in the Greater Cleveland area. Mr. Frank Gorenshek, who also directs the Korotan Singing Society, was asked to teach the women chorail singing. With his selection of some of the most beautiful Slovenian melodies and his arrangements, they tried harder and harder to establish themselves. The magic of hard work and dedication has kept the majority of the members who originally started five years ago still active.
Their Concert will feature the theme from Dr. Zhivago; “Cvetijo Rože v Planimi Tri” from the operetta “Hmeljska Princesa”; “Melodije Srca” and many other new and old favorites. Miss Carolyn Budan and Mrs. Olga Klam-cher will be two of the soloists. Miss Margaret Gorenshek will accompany the chorus at the piano.
Immediately after the performance a good old fashion “Domače Zabava” will take place. Delicious home cooked meals and other refreshments will be served. The large and spacious auditorium will be cleared and Ed Buehner and his orchestra will furnish the music for dancing.
Come and bring the whole family for an afternoon and evening out. There is a huge parking lot adjacent to the Hall. All the members most cordially invite you to attend this fifth anniversary concert. Tickets can be purchased from all Dawn Choral Members, at Tony’s Polka Village on E. 185St. or even at the door. For more information you may call Mrs. Vince Globokar at 486-2012.
Our sincere best wishes to the newlyweds and many happy years to them!
Congratulations to Marilyn Goss who won a Vega car. She is the daughter of Theresa Shepich and a niece of Mary Fedo and Frances Hubert, all members of our branch and cousin of Loretta Parassi.
We read with happiness of the honor given Katie Triller of Br. 16 in recognition of her long and progressive work for the branch in So. Chicago as their president. Katie will celebrate a birthday this month on the 16th! Happy Birthday, Katie!

Beautiful Fail days are with us again in Duluth, as well as many other places in Minnesota. The drive to Ely for Minnesota Day was breathtaking as always no matter what the season. Br. 33 had many members that attended and of course our honored guest Corinne Leskovar enjoyed herself thoroughly. I’m sure the warmth extended to her from ail the ladies was deeply appreciated. I must say the members from E!y outdid themselves in graoiousness and in all the preparations including the meal, meeting, program etc. The beautiful Mass celebrated by Fr. John Dolsina was one beft-ting the occasion and one in which his own pride and humility was shown for our Slovenian Nationality. I felt very fortunate to have been present and taking a small part in it.
Here at Br. 33 our own October meeting consisted of another wonderful Fail dinner and a Mass for our deceased members. All the ladies on the committee are to be commended for their efforts towards a very nice evening. We ailso were indeed in a happy mood with the Slovenian music play-

A year has not yet gone by since the magnificent Slovenian manifestation in Washington on the occasion of the dedication of the Slovenian Chapel in August of 1971, and the Slovenes of Washington again professed their belonging to the Slovenian cultural tradition by organizing, on Saturday June 10th, the first in the series of - as we hope - annual events in the framework of the program "Know Your Slovenian Heritage”. It is also noteworthy that this event took place only two short days after the U.S. Congress passed a law which officially recognizes the ethnic variety of the United States and emphasizes the significance and influence of the various ethnic groups and their cultures.
More than the number of participants, which was gratifying, and indeed more than the program itself, which was very interesting and varied, the intent and meaning of this evening must be stressed.
Although many young Ameri can Slovenes show interest in the Slovenian tradition, our younger generation is nevertheless much more meagerly acquainted with the rich and colorful cultural and historical content of the Slovenian essence and with the therefrom originating factors which have preserved the Slovenian nation after the disintegration of the Slovenian state in the Middle Ages through centuries of servitude to foreigners and of political repression as well as through times of spiritual growth and lively cultural creativity. It is this younger generation that must become acquainted with our past in order not only to preserve the tradition of the Slovenian pioneers in America but consciously and conscientiously to continue their work.
The focal point of the program was a concise and very informative lecture in English by Prof. Giles Gobec of Kent Univ. in Ohio. In his lecture, titled “Slovenian Contribution to the World”, Dr. Gobec dealt with two themes. In the first, he analyzed the necessity of ethnic groups - especially ethnic minorities - preserving, studying and deepening their cultural and historical tradition, thereby, first of all, drawing benefits for themselves as well as professing their ethnic identity; within the second theme, he enumerated a long list of Slovenes whose genius enriched the world in countless fields of human endeavor and whose achievements gained universal, not merely Slovenian, recognition.
The contributions of our fellow-Slo-
venes to mankind and their success in the world, which Dr. Gobec so richly described in his lecture, are cause of justifiable pride for us Slovenes; the thoroughness and compreh e n s i v e scope of Dr. Gobec’s findings, on the other hand, stress the importance of his collecting materials and his research, and testify as to the professional zeal and efforts which have characterized his many years of work in spreading the knowledge about the Slovenes and our identity.
Senator Frank J. Lausche, who was unable to attend the program, sent those present a message of greetings in which he stressed the importance of the event and wished it success.
After the formal program, Dr. Richard Kolm, chairman of the Washington Ethnic Studies Committee, in a memorable address stressed the historic importance of the newly passed law on ethnic minorities and explained the great benefits it will offer for the study of ethnic cultures and social problems in America. He also announced that the Catholic University of America will offer in the coming school year a course on Slovenian problems.
After the address, Dr. Kolm was, in recognition of his meritorious work in the field of ethnic questions, presented by Dr. Gobec with a diploma making him an honorary member of the Slovenian Research Center, a scholarly institution headed by Dr. Gobec which deserves unbounded support of all Slovenes.
The audience was also invited to participate in a Slovenian Mass which was offered the following morning by Rev. Dr. Franc Blatnik in the Slovenian Chapel in the National Shrine for the welfare of all Slovenes and for continued success of the Washington program "KNOW YOUR SLOVENIAN HERITAGE”.
Perhaps it is possible —but in any event proper— for the Slovenes, wherever we live in America, in a manner appropriate to ourselves and our respective circumstan c e s, to acquaint ourselves and especially our younger generation with our Slovenian heritage; perhaps we could within the scope of such events exchange lectures on this heritage and thoughts and advice on how to strengthen it; perhaps we could, in time, celebrate everywhere in America, on the same day, a Slovenian Day, the goal of which would be: KNOW YOUR SLOVENIAN HERITAGE, and, as Dr. Gobec added, “YOU WILL BE PROUD OF IT”.

It was good to see many of the members who don’t usually get to all our monthly meetings. Would like to send out our greetings, warm thoughts and best wishes to our shut-ins, those in hospitals and members unable to get out. You’re certainly not forgotten.
A penny social is being planned for our December meeting. This of course will also be our Christmas evening. We hope again to see many of our members come. And we would urge more of the younger women to come and join us at our meetings. We would Hike mention we are always looking for new members, so if you have someone in mind do encourage them. New faces are always welcome.
Until next month  “When you

Fall is here in all its beauty with gold and yellow and orange and red leaves mingling with the greens of the pines and cedar trees a lovely sight to behold. Partridge season has opened (which makes the men folk happy) and women are busy canning and freezing winter supplies. This is also the time of year when the summer recess is over and our fall meetings commence.
Of course, the biggest day was MINNESOTA DAY IN ELY and 21 of our members enjoyed the day with the more than 300 ladies and guests present. I won't repeat the program, in detail but must say that we all enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of the Ely Branch No. 23. The program was excellent with the main speaker being lovely Corinne Leskovar, our Editor of Dawn Magazine and the vocal selections by the Quartet from Ely, (Josephine Luthanen, Mary Hutar, Bernard Hutar and Frank Shepel accompanied by Catherine Merhar was so pleasing to the ear.
Mrs. Barbara Rosandich our State President and Mrs. Ann Podgoršek of the Supreme Auditing Committee gave brief talks and Mary Z. Palcher as Toastmistress provided us with many chuckles and so did Mayor Grahek who gave the Welcome address. The invocation was by Rev. John Dolsina, formerly Ely pastor but now transferred to Aurora, and Benediction was by Rev. Brennan, present pastor at Ely. Community singing, directed by Mary Hutar, provided the "togetherness” with everyone singing the Slo-
venian and American favorites. And ail this, following a sumptuous Banquet catered by Vertin’s of Ely, a truly wonderful day. Meeting old friends and acquaintances —and reminiscing with them— was an added bonus —with all hoping we can meet again for MINNESOTA DAY in Chisholm where the Chisholm Branch will be "Hosts” for the 1973 MINNESOTA DAY.
Branch No. 34 members met at the Catholic Men’s clubroonrs on Wed. Sept. 20 for the first meeting of the Fall season with Mrs. John PahuJa presiding. Mrs. Mary PahuJa made a report on the business transacted during the summer months and the new business was taken care of. The meeting concluded with prayers for our deceased member, Mrs. Mary Spollar who passed away at her home on Tuesday, Sept. 5, at the age of 86 years having been born in Metlika, Jugoslavija on Nov. 3, 1885. She came to the U.S. in 1908 and was married the same year to Peter Spollar, who passed away on April 2, 1947. Twenty years ago Mrs. Spollar suffered a stroke and had been a semi-invalid since then, but was bed-ridden only since July 3 of this year.

The September meeting was a dinner meeting at the Eagles Clubhouse. The satisfaction which you obtain from your membership rests entirely with you. Get into the happy feeling and start coming to meetings, attend the social activities, meet and see members you probably haven’t seen for ages. When you were initiated, you promised your aid to the organization. Living today is a serious business, and we must adjust ourselves to the ways and means of today.
At our dinner meeting, 38 members were present. We celebrated our 43rd anniversary and gave recognition to our four charter members, namely, Josephine Kolar, Celia Marolt, Christine Rebernisek and Antonia Velkovrh. Each were presented with a beautiful corsage. A lovely dinner of baked, stuffed pork chops with all the trimmings was served. After dinner, the meeting followed and then we played popular games. Door prizes and game prizes were awarded.
All our vacationers are now back. John and Ann Rebernisek spent a month in Europe and two weeks later went to visit relatives and friends in Pennsylvania. The Edward Schutta fa-miiy intended to spend a week up north but had to return shortly after they got there because their daughter Mary Ellen became ill. She is well now and attending school. Mr. & Mrs. Peters won a trip to Europe for two weeks with all expenses paid for two. Congratulations and have a marvelous trip!
The Genereau's left for Seattle, Wash, to visit their son and his family just after returning from Florida where they visited a daughter and her family. Mary Bushmik is very fond of traveling and has toured several coun-
tries. At present she is in Turkey and Greece.
The Konowalski’s were the proud parents of a baby girl. The grandmother, mother and two daughters are ail members our branch. Congratulations to all. Ann Hren is also a proud grandma, a grandson, Scott Anthony.
The Bill Frangeshs were surprised by a 25th anniversary and Going Away Party, given by their relatives and friends. Neither Bill or Bev know what that the occasion was. On Oct. 2nd they actually celebrated their anniversary but Bill was suddenly transferred to Miami Beach, Florida as assistant innkeeper, so the family decided to celebrate both events together. Best wishes and many more years of happiness, Bill and Bev and may you both forsee the best years of all are the ones still to be.
Wedding bells rang for a well-known couple, Mary Jane Mlinar and Alfred A. Mohorko, both members of our branch. They were married on September 2nd and a reception followed at the Veterans Park. We congratulate our couple and wish them happiness and long life.
Our branch wishes to express their deepest sympathy to Mary Musich on the recent death of her husband, Nick who had been ailing for some time. Mary lost her son, James, about a year ago.
Just received word that Ann Rebernisek is hospitalized. Hope her recovery will be very soon.
Mary Hoffarth has been hospitalized several times this summer. We surely hope this will be the last time.
Nov. 12th is the big Fall Poultry Card Party at Rebernisek’s. All branches are cordially invited. Members received tickets thru the mail, so please use them. Attend the party. Table prizes will be chickens. We will have many interesting games and also a mystery package. Looking for you Nov. 12th.

Many old members and new members partook in celebrating "Frances Sietz Day”. She was very pleasantly surprised on our regular meeting night Sept. 19th. A beautiful corsage made by Mary Perusek was pinned on her. She was also presented a lovely bouquet of pink roses arranged by Jean Tomsic. Sisters Vicki Pianecki, Ann Kristoff and Mary Petrick gave her a beautiful crocheted stole.
Frances Sietz is our former President and a very dedicated person. It was through her efforts that the first
S.W.U. Cotillion Ball was originated. She also paid a nice tribute to our new Pres. Ann Hočevar.
Our Honor Guards paraded while Carole Traven played a march on the piano. A letter was given to each guard. They were created and read off by Carole Traven. F is for Fraternalism; R is for Reaching our goal; A is for Achievement; N is for New Members; C is for Caring for Others E is for Encourgement; S is for Slovenian Women’s Union. Put all the letters together and they spell FRANCES.
The refreshments were especially good and a delicious cake was served. Singing American and Slovenian songs were joined in by many members to make this a most memorable occasion for Frances and those who participated.
A warm welcome to our new members Mary Champa, popular accordian player, Mary Kovelan and Josephine Svet.
Congratulations to Sophie Zagorc and her husband on their 25 th Anniversary and to Gertrude and Frank Laurich who will celebrate an Anniversary in October.

Dear Sister: The months keep rolling by and the fall season is with us again. So, it is time to get into the swing of things again. Vacation time is over. We held our meeting at the Little Grove and plans were made to charter a bus to Ely for the State Convention in September. This was the main topic for the meeting.
We also had another sick member, sister Frances Jerkovich who was in the Hibbing General Hospital for surgery. We all prayed that she and all of our other sick members will soon be on the road to a rapid recovery. May God bless you all.
This ended the business portion of
the meeting with sister Josephine Oswald, our president, leading us in prayer.
We then went on to the social at which time a delicious lunch was served by our sisters June J'erulle, Margaret Kochevar, Betty Strazishar and Gertrude Kochevar.
Prizes were also awarded to the following, Jennie Crea, Theresa Montcalm, Frances Shega, Julia Manouso, Pauline Germe, Veronica Krizmanich, Celia Politano and Josephine Politano. Door prize went to Angeline Russ. Everyone had a very enjoyable evening.
We also entered a new member to our lists, sister Theresa Montcalm. We hope she will enjoy the activities and make an outstanding member. The drive for new members is on; now we hope all our ladies go out and do your part. We need new faces and as so many of the old ones are departing, we must have more to fill their chairs.
We ventured on to Ely for Zveza Day with a bus load of 30 members. It surely was a wonderful time. The Ely ladies did such a wonderful job that it is our great pleasure to make the trip. The choir and the singing at the banquet was just marvelous. It was a pleasure to just sit and listen and Father Dolsina who preached a wonderful sermon and the speakers who cut their talks short so there would be more time for the ladies to enjoy themselves more. What can we say but Thank You All and God Bless You All for making Minnesota Day another one to remember. It takes a lot of planning and preparing to do such a wonderful job. What more can we say - well done!
We will be looking forward to seeing you again next year at Chisholm. May God bless you and keep you in the best of health until we meet again.
Our next branch meeting will be the first Wednesday of the month at the Little Grove. So, I hope everyone will be out to see us again. Yours truly.

Before anything else, I’d like to congratulate our member Manda Bu-torac and her wonderful husband on their 50th. Wedding Anniversary. It was gratifying to see so many of our members and their husbands at their party enjoying themselves. About 300 people were at the reception. Good luck, God love you and best wishes! May you have many more happy years together. She also was our Mother of the Year in 1970.
A note of appreciation was sent by our lovely Mother of the Year Mrs. Frances Bernard. She thanks all the women who helped to make it such a success.
Mr. Frank Tekautz will show movies on Slovenia and he hopes to get a group to go on a tour; it sounds real interesting; he tells us that even the pilot and stewardesses will be Slovenian; Frank Smoltz and his orchestra will play our Slovenian songs. Let’s go, girls.
About 40 of the members attend the Range meeting in Ely; we had such a wonderful time, we especially enjoyed the Priest, Father Dolisna and his wonderful Slovenian Choir; But we
ailso enjoyed very interesting talk given by our lovely and beautiful Corinne. We certainly would like to have her back real soon. (Thank you so much. C.) The ladies are to be commended on the wonderful job, it was real big. Thanks ladies, we are ready to come back any time you want us.
To our sick members, Gladys Klays-mat, Ann Yeshe and Lena Perprun-ner, hurry & get well; we need you at our meetings.

ROAST TURKEY
There are many methods of roasting turkey — from paper bag to a covered roaster. Most frequently used is dry heat roasting at 325°F., uncovered except for cheese cloth or foil and with no water added.
If turkey is frozen, thaw one to two days in refrigerator depending on size. When ready to use, wash turkey thoroughly in cold running water. Pat inside dry with paper toweling. Sprinkle cavity with salt. Stuff turkey loosely allowing about one cup of dressing for each pound. (Turkey can be put upright in clean pail for easier stuffing). Fasten neck skin to body with skewer. Push legs under band of skin at tail or tie them to tail. Also with heavy string, tie the wings to the turkey. Oil bird with fat or butter and dust it lightly with flour. Place breast side up on rack in shallow, open roasting pain in preheated oven at 350° to 375°F. When bird begins to brown, reduce temperature to 325°F. Slow roasting gives the best flavor and appearance with less shrinkage and juice loss. Place several thicknes s e s of cheese cloth dipped in fat or butter or a loose piece of tent-shaped aluminum foil over the breast to prevent too much browning. Remove the covering during the last few minutes for a nice brown appearance, if necessary.
Turkey cooking time tables can guide you on how long to roast a bird;
however, the most reliable test is to use a meat thermometer in the center of an inside thigh muscle or the thickest part of the breast. The turkey is done when the thermometer registers 185 degrees. The drumstick should move easily and feel very soft.
Allow the bird to stand in the roasting pan 15 to 30 minutes for easier carving. This gives you time to make the gravy.

As an alternative to the usual scrambled eggs, ham and sweet rolls, our church Guild, last year, served HAM AND CORN BREAD for its Christmas Brunch after the 9 a.m. mass. Beforehand, the food chairman served it at her home for a committee meeting so all could judge and it was enthusiastically approved. The charge for the Brunch was $1.25.
Each committee member made a combined mixture of 2 "Jiffy" Corn Bread Mixes (llcts. a box last year) for one 9 x 13 pan to serve 15. It is easy to make and can be prepared that morning. For 15 people;
8 boiled eggs, diced
1 pound cooked ham, cubed
2 cans cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
(no seasoning necessary).
Heat mushroom soup. Add ham. Fold in eggs and keep hot in chafing dish (we rented two large chafing, dishes, one for each table, and served buffet style). This hot mixture was served over a square piece of corn bread already on the table on individual plates. Members could serve themselves.
In addition, large glass platters were attractively arranged with pineapple chunks, peaches and pear slices and mandarin oranges on beds of lettuce. A few maraschino cherries were sprinkled over the top for color. (The fruit was purchased in large sized cans used for commercial purposes). Members helped themselves.
Since it was a festive time of the year pumpkin and cranberry bre?<1 were also available on the tables.

A SHORT REPORT ON MY TRIP TO SLOVENIA
On June 28th. Frances Yerman and yours truly left Cleveland on a Transcontinental plane along with 248 other passagers for a 3 week tour of Slovenia. We arrived the next day at the Brnik airport near Ljubljana. It was the thrill of our lives to see folks in our native costumes there to greet us and many relatives and friends whom we had never seen before. They were all watiing for us to welcome us to Slovenia!
We stayed at the Union Hotel in Ljubljana for 15 days, visiting and sightseeing every day. One church was 600 years old. We were amazed at the beauty of these churches and the statues. One would wonder how they managed all this in those days with very little tools to work with. We visited stores and found they lack nothing • everything we saw and did was very interesting. Money was a little hard for us to figure at first. One day was spent to tour thru Slovenia, Italy and Austria. We saw the high mountains and people working in their fields. We shopped some and it was a great tour.
We visited many relatives at Cer-kenca Roto Vače and Kranj. We serve coffee - they serve wine all over. The bread was very good too. It was a special honor for me to stand where our parents worked and lived and visit their churches. People are very polite and helpful every where.
We went to two picnics, one at Škofja Loka on July 4th with all the American tourists attending and another at Kamniška Bistrica. On our third
week we toured Slovenia and went into Trieste, Italy where we bought gold and silver jewelry. We also saw beautiful Lake Bled, Postojna Caves and Portorož on the Adriatic Sea. It was really beautiful too. On this tour we had many meals with lovely Carol and Mary Evsec of Cleveland as our companions. As Carol said, we ate our way thru Europe! In Maribor we visited a winery and the wine was great. Also, we went to Zagreb and visited that city before returning to our "home” at Hotel Union. All too soon we had to return to the U.S.A. I say to anyone who has someone there and can go, please do not hesitate, but make the trip. You’ll! never be sorry. We were never there before and now we hope we can go again.

Congratulations and the best of health and happiness to Mr. & Mrs. Louis E. Walters (Agnes, our Treasurer), who celebr a t e d their 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary on September 16th, with a Solemn High Mass at St. Jude’s Church with three priests officiating and attended by their imme d i a t e family, relatives, friends and neighbors. A family dinner followed the Mass. On September 11th, the day of our regular monthly meeting, all present were included in a celebration of this affair, as Agnes had a delicious buffet dinner catered, large and lovely cake, other bakery besides, and all types of liquid refreshments. The tables were decorated appropiately for this affair including fresh cut flowers. Agnes wants to thank all the members who gave their time and effort to help make this a memorable affair, plus all the members who presented her with personal gifts besides the lovely card and money gift from the group as a whole. Many thanks to Gloria Dusek who took the time and patience to make up appropriate small corsages for each member to wear. There were thirty-five members present and everyone had a memorable evening.
One of our new members, Carol Adornetto, signed up her four children as Junior members, Michael, Antoinette, Kathleen and Mary Ellen. Welcome to our group children!
Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Duaie (Florence), moved recently to Lehigh Acres, Florida. We know that you will both enjoy Florida and hope that you have many happy years there in that lovely climate.
Mr. & Mrs. Peter Yurotavac (Kay) recently returned from a three week
tour in Europe, visiting several countries, but the highlight of their tour was being able to meet for the first time Kay’s maternal Unole and his family, and Mr. Yurotavac’s maternal Aunt. They both enjoyed their trip except for the change in climate which slightly affected their health the latter part of the tour, but both have said there is just no comparison to the good old U.S.A.
We all wish a speedy recovery to Jane Kaplan recently hospitalized for surgery, and were happy that Ann Yanc was able to attend our September get-together after being in the hospital for one week and feeling much better. Also very glad to hear that Ann Modic is feeling better also after her recent bout with Pneumonia.
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Joe Svette (Eleanor) of Ravenna, Ohio, for having been made grand-parents.
Happy to hear that Joann French’s daughter made her First Holy Communion on September 23rd.
It is so very difficult at certain times to put into words appropriately, certain subjects, but I shall try, not only for myself but all the members of SWU-No. 73, Mr. & Mrs. Blatnik (Bernadette), in trying to inform you that all the members share your sorrow on the recent loss of one of your twin girls born to you. Sometimes these things are very difficult to accept, but we know that the good Lord must have needed one of these little girls and had a place in heaven prepared for her, and know that you will be doubly blessed with the happiness and joy you will both receive from the little girl he saw fit to leave in your care. Our prayers are with you and yours, and may God bless your family every day in every way.

A Soldier Takes His Bride
When S/5 Michael Kerzisnik took as his bride Miss Karen Linhart at St. Stephen’s church Aug. 21 1971, it was a memorable day! On hand for the wedding and especially prcud was Michael (Billy)’s mother, Mrs. Ursula Kerzisnik, a long - time member of Br. 2 and a host of relatives. The newlyweds are living at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in Indiana now, where "Billy” is an M.P. We wish them all the best life has to offer and many blessings! ♦ ♦ ♦
we hope you had a good time in Willard. Each year it gets a little more exciting when we plan these events and meet new friends.

Sorry I had to miss our Sept. meeting and thanks to Audrey Krulic for taking down the notes for me.
Alice Sheets was hostess and Audrey was co-hostess with Alice’s granddaughter Donna Stockfish assisting. A luncheon of Maurice Salad and all the trimmings was served.
Nettie Bityic was a guest and I understand the attendance was small. I hope our fail meetings will have a better showing. In Oct. on the 22nd we met at Pauline Adamic's home.
The first door prizes was won by Jennie Vidmar and the second prize was won by Zorka Maisel.
These gracious ladies were to attend our State Convention in Cleveland on Oct. 29: Pauline Adamic, Jenny Bole, Betty Karas, Audrey Krulic and Catherine Musich. They will drive. Have a report on this next month.
Our Mother of the Year, Catherine Mihelič and husband, J'oe took their first plane trip to Los Angeles to visit relatives and friends and for a “second honeymoon”.
We are extending our ailing members a speedy recovery, especially to Stefanie Hometz, Fulvia Rosa and Alice Becker.
Happy Birthday to Jenny Vidmar, and Mary Zimmerman and many happy returns of the day.
May God keep and bless you all with the best of health.

OH, TA SVET
SVET SE SPREMINJA
Oni dan sem videla srednje-letno Američanko, ki je barvala hišo. Stala je visoko na lestvi ter z vso vnemo viht&la čopič. Delo ji je šlo kar lepo izpod rok. Očividno ga je z veseljem opravljala. Ugajati je delo moralo tudi njenemu možu, ki je stal na trati ter lestvo držal, da bi žena bila bolj varna. Kaka škoda, da nisem pri roki imela kamere, ker bi to bil “pikčer leta.” Pri tem sem se domislila kako zelo se je Amerika spremenila v pogledu ženskega dela.
Ko sem prišla v to deželo ni ženska smela opravljati dela zunaj hiše, ker bi to bila za njo nekaka sramota. Po opravku hišnega dela se je namreč ameriška gospodinja lepo vsedla na porč ter se malo poujekala v zato pripravljenemu stolu- rakarju. (Slovenske gospodinje za ujčkanje niso imele časa, ker so bile z delom za borderje preobložene.) Na polju tiste čase ni bilo videti ženske pri delu, v tovarni so bile zaposljene le dekleta in morda vdove. Zdaj ni menda dela, ki bi ga Američanka ne opravila najsibo znotraj ali zunaj hiše; v tovarni ali na polju.
Da, svet se spreminja! In kako! Pričetkom tega stoletja so hišne služabnice biie bolj spoštovane kot tovarniške delavke, ki jih takrat itak ni bilo dosti. Omoženih žensk se v tovarni ni videlo. Velika sramota bi namreč bila za moža, če bi njegova žena morala delati v tovarni ali sploh opravljati drugo delo kot gospodijnsko.
Ko sem se poročila sva z možem par let zatem kupila hišico, okrog katere je bilo veliko trate. Tiste čase trave ekrog hiše niso tako negovali kot danes, ko se mi večkrat zd'i, da moj Žan z isto skrbjo travo "režira” kot svoj obraz. Takrat so travo kosili s srpom, koso, ponekod tudi z ročno kosilnico, kar je bilo že moderno.
Lep je pogled na dom, ki ga obdaja zelena trata, mehka kot preproga. Ce so tu in tam razpostavljeni še rožnati grmički ali košata smreka, ki je zelena tudi po zimi, daje hiši res mičen okvir
Vselivši se v nov dom, je mož takoj kupil ročno kosilnico. Da možu kot ljubezniva ženica delo nekoliko olajšam, saj je revež bil v tovarni 10 ur vsak dan, sedem dni v tednu—se neko jutro odločim, da bom travo postrigla jaz. Oborožim se s kosilnico in grabljami, da to delo izvršim. Kar lepo se mi je zdelo takole gor in dol marširati in kositi po ameriškem načinu. Mojim sosedam pa to ni bilo prav. Nekaj časa so me skozi okno opazovale nato pa ena za drugo pričele prihajati ter mi dopovedovati, da tako delo ni za žensko, da je njen posel v hiši ne pa travo kositi in tako v sramoto postavljati ženski spol. Travo naj Kosijo moški! Nič ni pomagalo, da sem jim dopovedovala nekoliko v nemščini, par besedi že tudi v novo-priučeni angleščini, kadar je teh zmanjkalo sem se poslu-žila kretenj z rokami, da jim dopovem, da sem močna in zdrava, da tako delo z lahkoto opravim, da sem tudi v starem kraju še kot otrok opravljala težja dela kot je z majhno kosico na kolesih tekati gor in dol. Na take argumente sem prejela odgovor: “Tu ni stari kraj; tu je Amerika!".
Vkljub protestom sem pri delu vztrajala in imela namen delo izgotoviti pa naj rečejo moje “Yankee” sosede kar hočejo. Saj sem v Ameriki, kjer je vsak svoboden in sam svoj gospodar, pa ne bi smela delati kar hočem in kar me veseli ?
Preden sem mogla vso travo pokositi pride mimo starejši mož, postoji, opazuje mojo košnjo, nakar sočutno vpraša: “Lady, is your husband sick?” (Gospa, ali je vaš mož bolan?) To mi je bilo dovolj! Pograbim koso in grablje ter vse skupaj odnesem za hišo in pri tem zabavljam na Ameriko, češ, kakšna je ta ameriška svoboda, ki ne da toliko prostosti, da bi človek opravil delo, kakoršnega sam hoče.
Da, časi so se zelo spremenili! Preden sva z možem kupila svoj dom sva stanovala v hiši, kjer voda ni bila v kuhinjo napeljana; morala sem jo od zunaj prinesti. Ker je pri pranju treba veliko vode, se je mož ponudil, da bo nanosil vode za pranje. Pri tem je naietel na ostro kritiko od svojih tovarišev. Tiste čase je namreč - vsaj med Slovenci v mojem krogu — veljalo staro pravilo, da moževemu dostojanstvu silno škoduje, če bi ON opravil kako žensko delo. - Z leti so se spremenile tudi te razmere. Našim možem ni nič več “izpod čast” pomagati ženi pri hišnem delj. Prav radi to storijo in celo priipravni so za vsako stvar. Po njih vzgledu se ravnajo naši mladi možje, ki so naravnost čudoviti! Vse znajo, vse zmorejo! Pomagajo ženi v kuhinji, previjejo otroka, kupijo potrebščine, izberejo ženi novo obleko, napravijo omaro ali celo hišo zgradijo, čeprav niso učeni gradbeniki. Ni torej čudno, da je nek ameriški časopis objavil, da ima Amerika novega zakonskega moža, kakoršnega nima ves ostali svet!
PREGOVORI TIKAJOČ SE ZDRAVJA
Zdravniška knjiga ZEL in PLEVEL, izdana v Ljubljani leta 1926, navaja nekaj dobrih izrekov tikajočh se zdravja. Maj navedem nekatere:
Sonce, zrak, zemlja in voda - so prva zdravila sveta!
Tovariš ljub ti bodi post; prepoln trebuh je nehvaležen gost.
Bolan ne boš, če le nekoliko manj ješ, zboliš pa, če
si želodec preobložiš.
Glavo imej vedno hladno, noge pa gorke vsikdar.
Bodi zmeren v jedi in pijači, pa te bolezen ne obdači.
Narava si največkrat sama pomaga, a sam si človek
največ pomaga s pametno jedjo.
Čist zrak je pol hrane.
Če je črevo odprto, zlo je v kali zatrto.
Zdravje prinaša najvišje obresti.
Kar je otroku mleko, je starcu vino.

V	sedajnih časih živimo na visoki kulturni stopnji, toda na kateri stopnji srčne kulture?
Izobrazba brez ljubezni in značajnosti je puhla.
Srčne kulture ne vodi razum, temveč duša, ki je sprejemljiva za vse, kar je dobrega in plemenitega.
Biti srčno izobražen se pravi, biti plemenit človek.
Duševno visoko stoječe ljudi najtesnejše veže tiho spoštovanje.
Ni dobro priti v zobe ljudem, ki te ne razumejo in ki ne poznajo spoštovanja.
OBISK V COLORADO
Zelo rada sem se odzvala vabilu državne predsednice ge. Anne Pachak, naj bi se udeležila njihove drž. konvencije v Pueblu, Colo.
Po dvodnevni vožnji preko Illinois, lova, Nebraska v Colorado je moje navdušenje rastla. Zavest, da bom tam srečala naše ljudi, mi je dalo velik polet misli. Razsežnost te dežele me vedno prevzema; še posebno, ker sem po teh razdaljah spoznala mnoge članice, videla kraje, kjer so si ustvarili svoje domove in s svojim marljivim delom dali pečat tej veliki zemlji.
Dne 17. sept. smo se zbrale članice Slovenske ženske zveze pred cerkvijo v Pueblu. Pozdravi in spoznanja so bila nad vse prijetna. Po skupni sv. maši smo šle h konvenčni seji, katero je vodila ga. Anna Pachak. Udeležba je bila kar dobra. Po poročilih delegatk so sledile volitve za kandidatinjo drž. predsednice za prihodnja tri leta. Ta postopek je bil vsem nov in je povzročil nekoliko zadrege. Težko je hvaliti hvale vredno dosedanjo predsednico pred volitvami, ne da bi s tem bil vsiljen vpliv na izid volitev, če govorimo s posameznimi članicami, ima vsaka zelo določeno stališče v vseh vprašanjih društva, ko pa pride do volitev, smo preveč sramežljive in ne podpiramo svojega mišljenja v demokratičnem izboru. Veliko premalo dajemo važnosti volitvam in moči svojega glasu pri volitvah. Priljubljenost dosedanje predsednice ge. Pachak je bila potrjena s ponovno izvolitvijo. Največ vprašanj na seji je zadevalo misel, kako pritegniti mladino v aktivne vrste našs organizacije. Težko je bilo dajati odgovore, ki bi imeli za vse sprejemljivo rešitev vprašanja. Z izmenjavo uspešnih primerov sem skušala odgovoriti na pereča vprašanja. Prav bi bilo, da bi se taka vprašanja neprenehoma postavljala pred nas in usmerjala naše delovanje, ne samo ob konvenčnem času, temveč na vsaki seji podružnic.
Po seji smo se zbrali v lepi dvorani ob jezeru na slavnostni banket in pester spored. Vsem, ki ste tako lepo pripravile za to slavnost, lepa hvala! Hvala tudi vnukinji ge. Pachak, katera mi je posvetila skladbo, ki jo je lepo odigrala na klavirju. Lepo izvajanje tamburaškega zbora mladih ljudi je vse razveselilo. Hčerka ge. Birse je deklamirala slovensko himno. Harmonika in petje ge. Birsove me je zelo premikalo, ker bi se ji kar pridružila pri mikrofonu. Saj je težko biti tiho, kadar se oglasi naša slovenska pesem.
Bilo mi je v veliko čast sprejeti pohvalo in priznanje naši organizaciji za zasluge, ki jih imamo pri postavitvi kapele v Washingtonu. G. Mihelič, župnik iz Denverja, je spregovoril o teh in še drugih kulturnih zaslugah, ki odlikuje Slovensko žensko zvezo. To z veseljem poročam v zadoščenje tistim, ki ste dobile občutek, da je bila ženska zveza v Washingtonu pri blagoslovitvi potisnjena ob stran. Naše množično delo za kapelo žanje priznanje in "vdovin novčič” je bil opažen in ima trajno vrednost; ne le prispevek z velikega kupa, ko je bil uspeh za kapelo že viden.
Upam, da nas ta državna srečanja obogatijo z novimi močmi in idejami, kako usmerjati naše delo v bodočem letu.
V	pondeljek zjutraj sva se z mcžem poslovila od prijazne in gostoljubne h:š’ gospoda in gospe Pachak ter se podala proti coloradskim goram, da bi obiskala tamkajšnje podružnice in se seznanila z njihovim življenjem. Srčna hvala gospod in gospa Pachak za vse!
Naša prva postaja je bila v Canon City od koder sem prejšnji dan spoznala mnoge naše članice. Ogledala sva si nekaj zanimivosti mesta ter nadaljevala pot v Gunnison. Tam sem poiskala tajnico podr. Myrno Krizmanich, se prijetno in po domače pomenila o naših zadevah, kampanji in novih možnostih za aktivnost podružnice. Velikokaj sem zvedela o naših ljudeh in o njihovem življenju. Nadaljevala
sva pot v Crested Butte, kjer je toliko naših pustilo svoje moči v sedaj zaprtih rudnikih. Dva dni sem obiskovala ljudi, govorila o njihovem življenju, o njihovih prednikih in o mestu, ki je tako svojstveno. Prenočevala sva v lepem hotelu le malo za ovinkom hriba nad Crested Butte, ki zakriva prelepo razvita smučišča in celo vrsto raztresenih gorskih hotelov in privatnih vil na zemljišču, ki je nedavno bilo last družine Malenšek od katerih sta Ann in Margaret naši članici. Nad vse prijazna Helen Cobai nam je mnoge stvari pojasnila o tem kraju in sem jo prosila, naj napiše vse kar ve o naših ljudeh tam, ker bi bilo za vse lepo branje. Oba z možem sva občudovala mirnost, urejene misli in prirodno obnašanje teh ljudi. Upokojena učiteljica ga. Jelenich in njen soprog sta odlična poznavalca razmer in življenja v Crested Butte in se jima lepo zahvalim za prijazen sprejem v njihovi hiši. Kot slepa kura najde zrno, tako sva tudi midva prišla v te kraje ob najbolj slikovitem času. S snegom pokrite gore so prelivale snežno belino z zlato rumenim listjem ob nižjih pobočjih, ki se preliva v najbolj čudovite barve prirode pod nebeško lepo modrino neba, katerega v mestih nikoli ne vidimo. Ta nepopisna lepota narave ima menda tudi vpliv na ljudi teh krajev. Preko gorskih vrhov in slikovite panorame sva nadaljevala pot v Aspen s slavnimi smučišči in povem vam, da ne slovijo zastonj. Po arhitekturi in značaju je mesto podobno švicarskim letoviščem, še jedilniki v restavracijah so v tem stilu, da jih je verjetno težko razumeti, če ne znaš nemški. Prijela me je sebičnost in sem pomislila: zakaj ne nosi niti ena stvar slovenskega imena, ko so ravno za temi hribi rudniki popili toliko slovenske krvi in izsesali tolike moči naših mož te s svojim trudom pripomogli do bogastva, ki je tukaj tako vidno.
Ta misel me ni hotela zapustiti, ko sva obiskala še večje rudarsko mesto Leadville. Nisem bila zadovoljna, s tem kar sem tam spoznala. Zgodovina mesta govori, da so včasih še črnci v Leadvillu govorili slovensko. Možje-rudarji so umirali zelo mladi, žene so bile tista sila, ki je vzgajala nove rodove in dajala rudnikom novih moči. Tu je naša organizacija malo podlegla osebnim slabostim, članice niso vzele vodstva organizacije dovolj resno in sledilo je to kar je danes. Razkropljenost ne daje nobene moči. Ob teh razmerah sem ponovno začutila, da so naši ljudje dali od sebe le svoje moči in prepotili bogastvo s svojim znojem a pri tem ostali brez imena, če sem pri tem v zmoti, bom vesela, če bo kdo ugovarjal in me prepričal o nasprotnem. Svetla iskra v tem spoznanju je le cerkev v Leadvillu, katero nama je gospod župnik Špehar s ponosom pokazal. Znamenit križev pot, naslikan na bakrene plošče s slovenskim besedilom je seveda delo nikogar drugega, kakor staroste in sina Slave gospda Trunka, ki je s svojimi rokami poslikal celo notranjščino cerkve. On je tam župnikoval pred sedanjim župnikom.
Koncem tedna sva bila v Denverju. Nad vse prijazen gostitelj nama je bil župnik g. Mihelič, ki nama je pokazal znamenitosti tega kraja in v svoji zaposlenosti našel toliko časa za pogovore, ki so se vsi vrteli okoli ljubezni do ljudi in domovine. Prijeten večer smo preživeli v družbi ge. J. Birsove in njenega moža v župnišču pri gospodu Miheliču, ki nas je popeljal v svet glasbe in izmenjavi idej.
Na povratku proti domu sva izbrala malo bolj južno pot skozi Kansas, kjer sva obiskala grob, rcjstno hišo, muzej in knjižnico pokojnega predsednika Eisenhowerja v Abilene, Kansas, še v St. Louis-u sva se ustavila, da sva od b!izu videla “vrata na zapad” in muzej. V Springfieldu, Illinois sva šla po kažipotih znamenitosti tega mesta, ki je seveda grobnica Lincolna ter muzeji z zgodovino tega velikega

DOPISI
ŠT. 2, CHICAGO, ILL.
Poletni dnevi se prelivajo v jesensko meglo; pa to našega dela nič ne ustavi. Pridno se že pripravljamo na “pen-ney social”, ki bo v dvorani pod cerkvijo 9. novembra. Upamo, da članice tudi mislite na ta večer in da pripravljate kakšen dobitek. Se spomnite kako lepo in prijetno je bilo lansko leto? Tudi letos bo tako, če se v velikem številu odzovete temu povabilu.
Tajnica pravi, da je blagajna tako suha, da se skoznjo vidi. Lepo prosi, da je udebelimo za dolge zime s svojo članarino. Poglejte v članske knjižice in če vidite, da so od zadaj za koledarjem, jih prinesite s seboj in poravnajte dolgove.
Pozdrav vsem,

ŠT. 3, PUEBLO, COLO.
Kras prirode se z vsakim dnevom poslavlja, drevje rumeni, znak da se bliža jesen; moj otožen čas leta. Naglo kot list za listom odhajajo v večnost. Naše članice žalujejo za svojimi, kateri so legli za vedno k počitku. Katherine Krasovich je nenadoma umrl soprog Frank za srčnim napadom. Bil je znan po naselbini. Christini Mehle je tudi umrl soprog Frank po dolgi mučni bolezni. Ustanoveljica naše podr.
Mary Bozaich, kateri je soprog dobil odrešenje smrti. Ta siromak je dolgo bolehal, pred mnogimi leti je dobil možgansko kap in pred dnevi je bil ponovno zadet, tokrat usodepolno. Koliko let in dni je ta uboga žena pretrpela z njim, sam Bog ve in ona.
Vsem preostalim naše izraze sožalja. Umrla je še mlada za v grob Josephine čulig. Bila je prijazna do vseh. Naša Jennie Lukanich in soprog sta ji bila krušna roditelja že od mladosti, tudi njej blag spomin.
Naša vneta društvena članica, pridna čebelica, Jennie in soprog Tone sta slovesno v avgustu obhajala zlato poroko. Slavnosti smo bili vsi deležni, ona dva pa lepih daril od hčerk, sina, ki je šolski nadzornik v Denver, Colo. in prijateljev. Za nameček je sprejela vabilo na svatbo vnuka Robert Novak v Gary, Ind. Bog Vam daj vsem še mnogo srečnih let In zdravje, posebno tebi, Jennie, moja zvesta prijateljica.
V	avgustu smo bili povabljeni za surprajz party, Mary Germ. Verjemite, ali ne, da ima že 8 križev za seboj, izgleda kot mlado dekle, hčerke so jo presenetile in smo se vsi gostili kot na svatbi. Naša Mary Germ je soproga pokojnega in bivšega preds. K.S.K.J., Johna Germ. še vedno nam done krasne melodije pesmi 'in harmonike, vedno bo nam svež spomin
za njim. Mary pa še dolgo mladostno življenje z nami. Hvala za povabilo!
Že zapoznela novica, vredno, da se zve. Mesto Florence, Colo. kjer živita naša čla. Jennie in soprog Matt Lu-kezec jima je dalo priznanje kot najbolj odlične osebe v mestu. Tudi mi Vama čestitamo za tako visoko priznanje posebno ker sta Slovenca. Jennie že dolgo let trpi z boleznijo; samo eno nogo ima, pa vendar se ne ustraši dolge poti, da pride na naše prireditve v Pueblo. Ima vse hvale vrednega sina, ki jima je vedno na razpolago za prevoz. Ako ravno mučno, so bili na našem zvezinem dnevu, kar 6 jih je dobri sin pripeljal, hvala!
Frances Babich iz Mesa A ve. in Helen Miklich njena mama so dobili za-željeni obisk od sina in brata po imenu John Gaber iz Chicaga. Zelo lepo in živahno je bilo slavje naše 45 letnice in drž. konvencije. Fanika Humar, gl. tajn. je bila vesela z nami in soprog, Dr. Humar.
Prav željno upam, da se število novo pristoplih pomnoži v tej kampanji. Millie Pechek je prestala ponovno operacijo in upamo da ozdravi.
Vabim vse čla. naše podr. za polnoštevilno udeležbo za Dec. sejo, party in volitev za novi odbor. Sprejmite moje pozdrave.

FANIKA HUMAR:
KRISTUSOVO KRALJESTVO
Ko je Kristus stal pred Pilatom, ga je ta vprašaj po njegovem kraljestvu. Odgovoril mu je: "Kralj sem, toda moje kraljestvo ni od tega sveta.” Kraljestva tega sveta se ustanavljajo z vojskami in so krajevno in časovno omejena. Tudi Kristusovo kraljestvo je bilo ustanovljeno s prelivanjem krvi, toda ne tuje ampak svoje, bogočloveške krvi. Njegovo kraljestvo ni omejeno: “V njegovem imenu se mora pripogniti vsako koleno teh, ki so v nebesih, na zemlji in pod zemljo.” Ni časovno omejeno: "Gospod Bog mu bo dal prestol njegovega očeta Davida in bo kraljeval v hiši Jakobovi vekomaj in njegovega kraljestva ne bo
koncc.” Liturgične molitve končajo:...... ki	živiš	in	kraljuješ
vekomaj." Njegovo kraljestvo ni od tega sveta, pač pa je v tem svetu. Je "Kraljestvo resnice in življenja, kraljestvo milosti in svetosti, kraljestvo pravičnosti, ljubezni in miru.”
Kristus hoče kraljevati v človeški duši, po božjem življenju, ki ga je stalo življenje. Sam pravi: “Zato sem pršel na svet, da bi imel življenje in bi ga imel v izobilju.”
V	duši, ki živi v milosti božji se zrcali božja podoba.
Kristus hoče kraljevati v srcu po dvojni ljubezni: do Boga in do bližnjega. Srce je Bog ustvaril za ljubezen in ne za sovraštvo. Rekel je: “Ljubite se med seboj, kakor sem jaz vas ljubil.” “Ako me kdo ljubi, bo mojo besedo izpolnjeval; in moj Oče ga bo ljubil in bova k njemu prišla in pri njem prebivala."
Kristus hoče kraljevati v pameti po resnici, saj je dejal' “Jaz sem pot, resnica in življenje.” Resnica vas bo osvobodila.
Kristus hoče kraljevati v volji po izpolnjevanju božje volje, ki se razodeva v božjih in cerkvenih zapovedih ter v dogodkih našega življenja. Ni dovolj samo moliti: “Zgodi se tvoja volja, temveč po božji volji tudi živeti in trpeti.
Vsakdo, ki se trudi živeti krščansko in izžarevati Kristusa na svoje okolje, gradi njegovo kraljestvo na zemlji.
KAMPANJA,
zelo rabljena beseda. Kaj nam pomeni? Mnogim pomeni delo — pridobivanje novih članic — \ast. organizacije — iivljenska potreba vseh podružnic — pomeni naš obstoj. Koliko nas je, ki nam Kampanja pomeni vse to? Koliko nas stoji ob strani in kritizira vse, kar katera aktivna članica stori? Skušajmo združiti našo aktivnost z zdravo kritiko v uspešno skupno delo! Vprašajmo se: “kaj sem jaz doprinesla za uspeh kampanje?” Sedaj je čas, da poprimemo in si rečemo: “hočem biti prva!” Pot je odprta vsem, ki so voljne delati. Ženo leta bo določila kampanja, ki je v teku. “Žena leta” je beseda z domačega zeljnika. Pojem kraljice in princese za iiajvisji naslov in čast je v resničnem življenju že davno zamenjala naša delovna žena-mati. Temu i-menu hočemo dati pravo priznanje v tej kampanji, <er pomeni eno izmed nas, ki se trudimo za vsakdanji kruh doma pri gospodinjstvu, ali zunaj doma.
Rev. M. Železnikar, župnik pri Sv. Roku v La Salle je v svoji pridigi ob priliki državne konvencije za Ind., III. takole dejal: “Pojdite od hiše do hiše, vpišite v Zvezo vse žene. Do konca leta se bo število vaše podružnice početvorilo. Če katera poreče, da ne more plačati članarine, jo vseeno vpišite in jaz bom plačal njen delež.” To je dejal gospod, ki ima dolgoletne skusnje iti ve kaj pometli dobva ovgciTii-zacija. V svoji pridigi /e dal največje priznanje našim ženam, naštel mnoga dela, in zasluge, ki jih dopnnasajo žene naših človeški družbi. '
Potrdimo to veliko zaupanje in pojdimo od hiše do hiše, ne samo v La Salle temveč od Pennsylvani-je preko Ohio do Calif orni je in od Minnesote do Areiv Yorka — povsod kjer biva naš rod — trkajmo
ŠT. 14, EUCLID, OHIO
Poročilo oktoberske seje. Vabim članice, da bi bolj prihajale na sejo, ker tega večera je bila zelo pičla udeležba - prazni stoli so gledali nas. To ni prijetno za odbor. Saj v lepem vremenu naj Vas več pride, da bo vredno sejo držati. Primerno vsoto smo dale za Dom Ostarelih na Neff Road. Kakor vsi darovalci smo tudi me včlanjane. Od naše članice Mrs. Koijat je njena sestra prišla iz Slovenije na obisk in ker ji je čas že potekel, se je pripravila za vrnitev nazaj v domovino. Želimo ji srečno pot.
K našemu društvu je pristopila Mrs. Krnel. Lepo starost je dočekala naša članica Mrs. Rozi Klemenčič ki te dni obhaja 80 rojstni dan. Vse članice ji častitamo in ji želimo še mnogo let.
Prvega oktobra je prišla iz domovine k Frank Šuštarju v Euolid sestrična Jožica Gril.
Bolane so v tem času Mrs. F. Globokar, ki je še vedno v bolnici in Mrs. Smrdel. Obema želimo da bi jima Bog dal zdravje.
Drugih važnih novic ni bilo tega večera. V gud tajm blagajno je darovala Mrs. Paucel. Pozdrav vsem.

Kako naglo je zopet prišla jesen in nam prinesla lepoto barvane narave. Seveda s hladnejšim vremenom, se rade oglasijo bolečine revmatizma. Ker je poletje za nami, zato se naše misli bolj in bolj obračajo na društveno delo, katerega smo zanemarile črez poletje, ko smo kakor čebelice iskale užitka in razvedrila v cvetlicah, izletih in potovanjih. Vsaka po svoje smo skušale ujeti trohico sreče. Upam, da vam je ostal mali žarek sreče od poletja v srcu za spomin na 1972 in veliko upanje na bližajoče se leto 1973.
Naša podr. št. 17, bo drugo leto obhajala 45 letnico ustanovitve, zato vas vse že sedaj vabimo, da se udeležite gl. seje dne 3. dec., da bomo ukrenile, kako bomo obhajale 45 letno delovanje naše podružnice.
Na tej seji bomo imele tudi izmenjavo Božičnih daril v vrednosti enega dolarja. Seveda, če katera noče prinesti darila, naj vseeno pride na sejo in se nam po saji pridruži na čalici dobre kave.
Izgubile smo našo dobro članico, Mary Pornat. Bila je žena darežljivega srca in je vedno rada darovala in s tem pomagala. Naj ji bo Bog dober plačnik. Družini naše sožalje.
Zadnji teden pa je izgubila svojega moža naša ela. Angeline Kastelic, poročena Starich. Iskreno sožalje Tebi Angie ter celi Tvoji družini.
Bolezen je zopet obiskala Mrs. Mary Grash. Prestala je težko operacijo. Bolne so tudi Bernadette Iverson in Kathy Malkousky. Vsem želimo hitrega zdravja. Spominjajte se jih v molitvah in z obiski.
Vsem kličem “NA SVIDENJE” na glavni seji 3. dec. in bodite kakor ura; njeni kazalci so vedno zaposleni kazati čas. Ako jo bomo posnemale, pa nam ne bo nikdar dolg čas.

KRASNI ZVEZIN DAN V ELY, MINN.
št. 19, Eveleth, Minn.—V imenu naše podr. izrazam naše veselje im zadovoljstvo nad krasno uspelim Minnesotskim Zvezinem dnevom v Ely, dne 10. sept. Naše članice in prijatelji so prihajali z busi iz vseh krajev, kjer delujejo naše podr. Izredno smo bile vesele, da je bila med nami naša ljubljena urednica Zarje, Corinne Leskovar. Ginjeno smo se pozdravile z njo ter drugimi odbornicami ter članicami. V cerkveni dvorani nas je bilo zbranih toliko sester s katerimi smo si stisnile roke v pozdrav. Na seji je bil prebran zapisnik od lanskega zvorovanja iz Bibbing in od podr. Kitzville, ki je bila gostiteljica.
Med sv. mašo je imel Fr. John Dolšina prekrasni govor v katerem je povdaril velike zasluge SZZ za naš narod v Ameriki. Opravljeno je bilo veliko delo na katerega smo lahko vse članice ponosne. Posebej je omenil naše zasluge za Slovensko kapelo Marije Pomagaj iz Brezij v Washing-tonu. Važnost našega dela je še večja v bodočnosti, da se bo naša mladina zavedala svojega slovenskega porekla, da bo spoštovala izročila in jezik naših pionirjev. Med sv. mašo je bilo lepo petje.
Sledil je okusni banket z dobro urejenim programom. Pohvala velja vrlim kuharicam in vsem, ki so nam tako lepo stregle. Mrs. M. Palcher je vodila program in v izbranih besedah predstavila odlične goste, ki so pozdravili in čestitali Zvezi: župan Ely, naš Slovenec, dr. Grahek, in gl. odbornice Barbara Rosandich ter Annie Podgoršek, ki sta obe vzpodbujale k nadaljenu delovanju za našo organizacijo. Nato je nastopila kot glavna govornica, urednica Zarje, Corinne Leskovar, ki je razložila glede Zarje ter navduševala navžoče, da vpišejo in pridobijo za delo našo mladino, da bo Zvezino delo imelo še lepo bodočnost. Poročala je tudi o pripravah za redno konvencijo, ki se bo vršila v maju prih. leta v Chicagu.
Ko je Corinne tako stala pred nami in nas navduševala za našo ljubo nam SŽZ, je v duhu stopila pred naše oči njena nepozabna mama, Albina, ki je tolikokrat nam govorila in nas vedno pripravila do še bolj živahnega dela za njej tako drago organizacijo. Srečne smo, da imamo v Corinne izredno delavno namestnico, ki nadaljuje njeno delo.
Minnesotska državna predsednica BARBARA ROSANDICH, pozdravlja z lepimi šopki rož tri še živeče ustanovne članice podr. št. 23 v Ely ob priliki Zvezinega dneva in banketa, pod pokroviteljstvom št. 23. Na gornji sliki so od leve proti desni: Barbara Rosandich, Katherine Kapsch, Mary Gornik in Katherine Slogar. Omenjene ustanovne članice so pomagale organizirati podr. št. 23 v Ely v septembru 1929, pred 43 leti.
Ves program je bil izredno lep. Posebna hvala Mary Hutar za priprave in za lepo petje. Enako kvartet, katerega še vedno slišim. Človek bi jih kar naprej poslušal, saj so prihajale iz njihovih grl prelepe melodije. Upam, da jih bomo še imeli priliko večkrat slišati. Naj velja njim in vsem sodelavcem res prisrčna hvala za lepe urice, katere so nam pripravili.
Pozdrav vsem članicam Zveze, vsem pri podr. št. 23 s pohvalo in enako Tebi, draga Corinne in vsem v glavnem uradu. Bodite ml vsi srčno pozdravljeni od vseh odbornic. in članic podr. št. 19 iz Eveletha.
MARY LENICH, taj.

Naša drž konvencija, ki se je letos vršila v LaSalle, je bila prav uspešna. Prišlo je več busov članic iz vseh krajev, kjerkoli imajo podružnice. Bilo je lepo videti naše članice, ki se vsako leto zopet snidejo in pozdravijo. Čast LaSalle fari za tako čisto in lepo cerkev in nato tako krasno, veliko in moderno šolo. Tu je bilo kosilo po sv. maši, katero je daroval župnik Rev. Mike Železnikar, ki je isti dan tudi praznoval svoj 81 letni rojstni dan. še na mnogo leta, Father! Konvencija je prinesla mnogo poročil, pohval in tudi več nerešenih stvari se je rešilo. Tudi za pripravo konvencije drugo leto v Chicagu, se je razpravljalo. Iz Jolieta nas je bilo 35, en poln bus.
Članice št. 24 iz LaSalle zalužijo vso pohvalo za tako okusno kosilo, za prijaznost in postrežbo.

ŠT. 64, KANSAS CITY, KANS.
Poletje, katero ni bilo prehudo vroče je šlo kar kitro od nas in ko bodo te vrstice zegledale beli dan, se bo že približala starka zima, katera pa ni nam starejšim nič prijetna.
Pri naši podružnici nismo v poletju imele nič aktivnosti, članice Materinskega društva so pa pripravile prav lep party za častito Sestro Margaret Bambič, ki je letos obhajala 50 letnico od kar je naredila prve obljube pri naših Slovenskih Ses. Sv. Frančiška. Rojena je bila v Frontenac, Kans. in potem je kot mlada deklica prišla k našim sestram pri sv. Družini in je tu izvršila 8 razredno šolo. Potem je šla v Chicago in v Lemont, kjer je naredila zadnje obljube in ima še dve rodne sestre, ki so v tem redu, ena je umrla. Na ta dan smo se vse žene Materinskega društva poveselile z njo in jo obdarovale. Mlada članica Carol Mc Carty, ji je pripela šopek zlatorumenih vrtnic, kar je vzbudilo burno ploska' nje. Prav zanimivo jo je poslušati, ko se s svojimi nekdanjimi součenkami pogovarjajo, ali se spominjaš kako smo bile v tej in oni igri skupaj takrat so otroci prirejali dosti iger in starejše ljudi razveseljevali. čst. Ses. je še kar mladostna in bistrega duha. Pri sv. Družini je sedaj za prednico. Vsi žu-plani sv. Družine ji častita mo k njenemu zlatemu jubileju.
Več naših Slovenskih in Hrvatskih rojakov je šlo na 3 tedensko potovanje v staro domovino, kjer bodo obiskali mesto Ljubljano, kot “sister city” s Kansas City, Kansas. Kot je bilo proglašeno od našega župana Richard F. Walsh. Glavna voditeljica te družbe je bila Mrs. Gussie Rock Stephens, ki je bila rojena v Ljubljani, z njimi je tudi naša članica Miss Maryann Zakrajšek. Bog jim daj vsem veselo potovanje, in srečen povratek nazaj.
23. sept. se je poročil v naši cerkvi sin naše članice Kristine Livojevic, Thomas Livojevic z Miss Brenda Ross. Poročil jih je ženinov brat Rev. Ronald Livojevic. Naše čestitke novoporočen-cema in staršem obilo sre-če.
V	juniju je umrl Mr. John Petelin, soprog naše članice Frances Petelin. Poleg nje zapušča tri sinove in tri hčerke in lepo število vnukov. Kmalu za njim se je pa preselil v večnost Mr.
Jakob Poje, ki zapušča tri sine in 4 hčere. 4 sini in žena so šli pred njim v večnost. Zapušča tudi 35 vnukov in 50 pravnukov in enega pra-pravnu-ka. V Ljubljani zapušča brata Rev. Jožef Poje. Hčerka Regina Cop je članica Zveze dolgo let in naša blagajničarka. Obema pokojnima naj sveti večna luč in naj jima bo ohranjen trajen spomin med narrai. Sorodnikom iskreno sožalje.
Na 12. in 13. avg. smo se podali na romanje v Lemont. Mr. & Mrs. Frank Vesel in midva s soprogom smo šli z vlakom, Mrs. Mary Višček je pa šla z eroplanom. Vse dni tam je bilo prav prijetno, lepe pridige smo slišali oba dni, procesija v soboto večer z petimi litanijami, in ravno tako zopet v nedeljo. Je bilo vse tako v srce segajoče in nič zato ako so nas malo komarji opikali. Najlepša hvala čast. duhovnikom in bratu ki se tam tako trudijo, da ljudem dobro postrežejo z vsem. Najlepši pozdrav vsem Clevelandskim članicam posebno Mary Ger-že, ke je moja rojakinja iz Loškega Potoka, in Paula Rus iz Jolieta, 111. Pozdravili smo se tudi s Faniko Humar in soprogom. Potem sva midva še obiskala hčerko Helen in njeno družino v Freeport, III. in sva vse zdrave in srečne našla.
V	Joliet, III. sva tudi na njihovem lepem, novem domu obiskala sorodnike mojega moža, otroke pokojnega Joe in Mary Klepic, in so naju izvrstno postregli. Najlepša hvala vsem za vse. Najlepša hvala Mr. & Mrs. Jim Mlakar, v Jolietu za vso postrežbo na njih domu in ki nas je vozil v Lemont. Najlepši pozdrav dični organizaciji.

Poletje je za nami, jesen je tukaj in zima se nam naglo približuje. Pri naši podr. imamo dosti bolanih članic: Mrs. Shute je dobila crčni napad in je v bolnišnici. Zdravje se ji vrača in upam, da bo v času ko bo oitala te
vrstice že doma. Novembra pa gre v Florido, želim vsem bol a ni m zdravje in prosim, da obiščete bolane članice; sestre Kukovec, Ferk, Lajc, Kepic in Shute.
Dne 13. sept. je bila seja pri meni. Sestra Kerč nam je prinesla špehovko, ker je bil njen rojstni dan tisti teden. Drugi prigrizek, kot kavo in sladko kspljico sem jaz pripravila. Imele smo se prav luštno. Moja hčerka, naša tajnica Betty Birk in njen mož Frank sta nam pripovedovala kako lepo so se imeli na počitnicah v Sloveniji in drugih evropskih državah. Posebno lepo je bilo na ameriško-slovenskem pikniku dne 4. julija, kjer se je zbralo 10 tisoč Slovencev. Bilo je mnogo kra-snegti petja, godbernikov, slovenskih narodnih noš. Njim se je dopadla tudi Dalmacija. Naši sorodniki so jih prišli pozdravit na letališče Brnik, med njimi tudi moja žlahta Marin družine iz Jarš, Mrs. Kobilca in sestra mojega moža, Pavla. Preveč bi bilo vse navajati, ker bi vzelo preveč prostora. Krasno je bilo na Brezjah, kjer pride veliko romarjev, dalje na Bledu, in blejskem gradu. Bili so tudi na Veliki Planini in Kamniku. Potovali so skupno z bratom in ženo Stanley in Joan Voje. Vsi so tukaj rojeni, pa so bili polni hvale o naši lepi domovini Sloveniji, žena mojega sina je nemškega porekla, pa se sedaj počuti bolj Slovenko. Kupili so si tudi harmonike pri Železnikarju na Vrhniki.
Na seji smo tudi sklenili, da bo se naša letna seja vršila 13. dec. Lepo vabim vse članice, da bi se udeležile te važne seje, da se pogovorimo in izvolimo odbor za leto 1973. Seja bo zopet pri meni na 1825 Woodbine St., Ridgewood. Pripeljite kaj novih članic.
Ob zaključku voščim urednici, glavnim odbornicam, kot vsem članicam št. 84 in vsem sestram SŽZ širom Amerike, vesele Božične praznike ter srečno in zdravo Novo leto 1973. Pozdrav vsem,

(Continued from Page 17)
at a formal dinner party with this limerick:
“There was a young monk of Siberia Whose existence grew drearier and
drearier Till he burst from his celil With a hell of a yell And eloped with the Mother Superior”.
The following is takem from a Jackson Day dinner address given by Fran-kijin Delano Roosevelt: Once upon a time there was a schoolteacher who, after describing Heaven in golden terms, asked her class of small boys how many of them wanted to go to Heaven. Every small boy in the dlass held up his hand —except one. Tea-oher said, “Why, Charlie, Charlie McNary, Charlie, you don’t want to go to Heaven? Why not?” “Teacher,” he said, "sure I want to go to Heaven,
but’ pointing to the rest of the boys
in the room — “not with that bunch.”
To his son he sent this advice on speech-making: Be sincere; be brief; ba seated.
President Truman once remarked in describing himself, "I look just like any other fifty people you meet in the street." His comment on living in the White House was: The finest prison in the world.
When his daughter Margaret was graduated from George Washington University, Truman was awarded am honorary LLD at the graduation ceremony. Speaking to the assembled graduates, Mr. Truman said: It took Margaret four years but it took me only four minutes.
President Lyndon Johnson commented on the fact that he, Lady Bird, Luci Baines and Lynda Bird all have the same initials: It s chea;per this way because we all use the same 'luggage.
The goail of his administration was to work for a greater society. In seek-■ img help President Johnson didn’t wish to be answered like the man who slept through the preacher’s sermon down in his hill country. Every Sunday he would come and get in the front row and sleep all during the sermon.
“Finally, the preacher got a little irriated and one Sumday he said, 'All you people’ — the fellow was srioring im the front row, and the preacher went on in a low voice—’ all you peo-pile who want to go to heaven, please rise.’ Everybody stood up except the man who was asleep.
“When'they sat-down, the preacher said in a very loud voice that was calculated to arouse him, 'All of you men
that want to go to hell, -please stand up.' The man jumped up. He looked around in back of him; he looked at his wife and she was sitting down. He looked at his grandmother and she was sitting down, at his children and they were sitting down. He looked at the preacher and, somewhat frustrated, he said, “Preacher, I don’t know what it is we are voting on, but you and I seem to be the only two for it.” On h-is trip to Ireland, President Kennedy received honorary degrees from the two leading Irish universities, Trinity College and National University Trinity is English and protestant in tone whereas National University is historically Catholic. After accepting his degrees, Mr. Kennedy said:
“I want to say how pleased I am to have this association with two great universities. I now feel equally part of both, and if they ever have a game of Gaelic football or hurling, I shall cheer for Trinity and pray for National.”
On a trip to the West Coast, President Kennedy was asked by a little boy, “Mr. President, how did you become a war hero?”.
“It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat.”
As President, John F. Kennedy opposed federal aid to parochial schools. This stand caused much shock in Catholic circles. Shortly after his education bill was proposed to the Congress, Mr. Kennedy said:
“As all of you know, some circles invited the myth that after Al Smith's defeat in 1928, he sent a one-word telegram to the Pope: ‘Unpack.’
“After my press conference on the school bill, I received a one-word wire from the Pope: ‘Pack’ ”.
Laughter was an important part in the lives of the Presidents and from their own delightful humor, they revealed themselves as human beings.
