Gandhi se izrekel za obrambo Indije
Nehru konferira s kitajskim diplomatom

BombaJ. Indija. 20. apr — Mo-
S:	v°'
dltelj indijskih milijonov, se je
izrekel za obrambo Indije kljub svoji doktrini nenasilja, ko je svetoval ženskam in otrokom ter drugim nebojevnikom, naj zapuste mesta, ki so v nevernosti napada, da jih bodo brambov-ci lahko ščitili in branili.
Nasvet vsebuje članek, ki ga je Gandhi objavil v svojem listu Harijan. On pravi, da ni strahopetnost, če se ljudje, katerih navzočnost ni bistveno potrebna, izselijo iz mest, ki lahko postanejo tarča napadov.
Voditelji Vseindijskega kongresa, Gandhijeve strsnke, se bodo sestali na svojem zborova-nju v Allahabadu in razpravljali o načrtih odpora proti japonski agresiji. Jawaharlal Nehru, vodja levega krila kongresa, je odpotoval v Kalkuto, kjer je konferiral s kitajskim ^eneral-nim konzulom C. J. Paojem. Slednji jc igral važno vlogo, ko se je v Indiji mudil general Čiang Kaišek, vrhovni poveljnik kitajske oborožene sile, in konferirsl z indijskimi voditelji, da jih pridobi za kooperacijo z Veliko Britanijo in njenemi zavezniki v vojni proti osiščnim silam.

ne ' a	,
Nepotrpežljivost Nemcev narašča zaradi neuspehov oborožene sile na ruskih frontah. Dokler »o prihajala poročila o nemških zmagah, je bilo vse dobro. Hitler, ki je že v oktobru preteklega tets izjsvil, ds je njegova arrtfada strla sovjetsko oboroženo silo, je moral končno priznati poraze. On še vedno odlaša s pričetkom velike ofenzive proti Rusom in ljudje zavestno čutijo, de je nekaj narobe. Goebbelsovi apeli, naj po-trpe, ker ne gre vse gladko, nič več ne učinkujejo.
Nemci so šli skozi težke čase to zimo in posledice vojne se opsžsjo povsod. Gotovo Je, da se bo nepokoj povečal, če bo Hitler še nadalje odlešel z ofen-| živo.
"Upi in pričakovanja nemškega naroda so se dvigsli, ko so prfhsjsla poročila o velikih zmagah." pravi Osterstrom. "Sedaj ni še jasno, kakšen učinek bodo izzvele poročila o porazih. Razočaranja so vedno nevsrns in v tem času bolj nego kdgj prej Dolgo čekenje ubija bojno razpoloženje in penika se koti. kadar ljudstvo živi v negotovosti in ne dobi pojasnil o položaju Nacijski tisk stori vse. kar more, de potolaži nemški narod Zdaj Je napovedal odložitev ofenzive za nadaljnji mesec Vzrokov za to ime dovolj, glavni pa Je vežbenje novih čet Nestelo je pomanjkanje sposobnih čs «t ni kov In ne I dovolj izvežbeni stari vojaški1 razredi povzročajo potežkoče in I Skrbi."
Osterstrom )e prepričen. dei je v Nemčiji pomenjkenje elitnih čet Hitler je iz«ubil na ru-1 skih frontah najboljše častnike in vojake Vrhovno poveljetvo, more biti previdno v rabi ellt-1 nih čet Nemčije ime sicer še ogromno število vojakov, toda Hevllo i/vežbanir se stalno krči kot posledica udarcev, ki Jtb
svoje vlade najdem Ameriki in svoje stališče glede vojne med Ameriko in aafyiimi državami. On je dejal, da t* poraz Nemčije na ruskih frontah rezu 1 tiral v podvigu boljševizma, ki bi s sankcijo Velik» Britanije poplavil vso Evropa, Frsncijs in vse druge evropeke države bi dobile komunizem. Ffeendja ima izbi-reti med Rueijo In Anglijo na eni strani in Nemčijo na drugi. Njena dolžnoet je, da se odloči ze slednjo in lojalno kooperlra z njo v naporih m postavitev novega reda, ker bi v obratnem slučaju izginila &sncoska civilizacija.
"Odkar sem v (javnem življenju, sgm vedno poudarjal sbli-ženje ittcd' Prnftfijo fti TfemčiJtf
kol f>ogoj za evropski mir," Je rekel Laval. "Ta politika se mora izvajati v duhu lojalnosti in zaupanja."
Laval je v svojem govort^ udrihal po Veliki Britaniji zaradi napadov na Francijo, okupacije francoskih kolonij in poskusov zdrobitve francoske mornarice. Francoskim delavcem je obljubil zaščito, kmetom pa svobodo. "V novi Evropi," Je dejal, "bo socializem postavljen povsod v soglasju z nerodnimi težnjami in značaji vaeh ljudstev. Svoje po-težkoče, ki so brezštevilne, poznamo. Vlada vam ne more zagotoviti izobilja že Jutri, toda skrbela bo, da bo sleherni sit in oblečen. Prav teko bo Skrbele, da Francija ln Nemčija ne bosts
McNutt pojasnil mobilizacijski načrt
Trinajst milijonov delavcev v vojnih industrijah

McNutt, načelnik pravkar uatanovljene komisije, kateri je bila poverjena mobilizacija vse razpoložljive delavske sile sa vojna dela, je včeraj v razgovoru z reporterji pojasnil program in izjavil, da bo v prihodnjem letu trinajst milijonov delavcev zaposlenih v vojnih industrijah, ki so udeležene v produkciji bojne opreme.
McNutt je rekel, ds se je v nekaterih vojnih industrijah že pokszalo pomanjkanje izurjenih delavcev.

Storimo svojo
dolžnost!
j,„ko H. Rogelj. «• jpo- ss.
Dne 19- april» je preteklo eno uto odkar je bila izdena člove-koljubna in plemenita izjava dovenskih bratskih' podpornih organizacij v Ameriki. Bolj humanitarne, čiste in nadstrankar-& izjave še ni izdal naš slovenski narod v Ameriki. Bila je
to jopla in mehka beseda na Mm trpečemu bratu in sestri ¡Bteremu je bila nalita v čašo
življenja pelinova grenčlca z barbarskim, ukazom: Izpij do
dna! ' \ '
Na podlagi te vsestranske in čuteče izjave je bila ustanovljena slovenska sekcija Jugoslovan-¿ega pomožnega odbora. Vsi •lavni odbori naših centralizi-(nnih bratskih organizacij so ; odobrili to svetlo izjavo in odbor; vsa naša glasila in drugi i dovenski listi so pisali za pomožno akcijo, a ob letu, ko pregledujemo uspehe, nas je sram, neizmerno sram, ko sami sebi vec ne zaupamo. Ko nas molče jo v težke verige robstva ukle-njena Slovenija prosj na grobo-rih nedolžnih in mnogoštevilnih žrtev, stojimo mi kot zakleti in okameneli, negibljivi in zaprašeni kipi v pozabljenem muzeju. Niso nas zbudila in ranila poročila, ki so prihajala preko morji; otopela in trda so postala na-b srca; brezbrižna in neslana je naia govorica; še dolarja, ki gle-da iz našega žepa, ne damo in ne damo za gladne, trpeče in iloveškega usmiljenja vredne krvne brate in sestre onkraj norja.	#
Ves svet je v grozečem in si-bjoeem vojnem požaru, e sredi tega uničujočega in peklenskega ognja stoji tudi križ, na katerega je pribit tisti slovenski narod, katerega srečni in svobodni sinovi in hčere v Ameriki ne vidijo njegove neizmerne bolečine, brezmejnega trpljenja in brez-„obrežnega zla.
Da, je žalostna resnica, da smo do sedaj še nevredni potomci pojega zapuščenega in krvolo-ku na milost prepuščenega malega slovenskega naroda onstran morja.
/Kij smo prav za prav že dali? Preko 150 tisoč nas je včlanjenih v naših bratskih organizaci-jih, pa smo nabrali dobrih 15 ti-loč dolarjev v enem letu. Pičla desetica pride na posameznega na eno leto; ah, bratje in «rtre, ali smo še vredni, da se ki«) imenujemo? Videli ste imena posemezni-kov, ki so dali in so še pripravki dati. Kje so imene drugih *> tiaoč in več, ki bi lahko in kwz težave dsli vsaj en dolar v Pjrtni sklad? Nad 150 tiaoč farjev bi moralo biti v našem ^u v bnem letu, pa bi se prav ne poznalo v naših sloven-** ¿epih v Ameriki. Toda zaprta so srca in zaprti Zato nismo rešili svoje •fcnosti napram krvnim bratom in sestram.
in sto je izgovorov ne le besede lepe in poštene * nobene Izgovori ne rodijo ne »«rjev in ne pomoči. Radi iz-PJtov tudi ne umirajo ljudje, od strahu in lakote. Lepe ■ Petane besede gradijo upa-življenje, samozavest in J**no«t, a končno tudi doler, ¡V*> reševal bedo in trpljenje J*«1 brata in sestre, ki bo pre-nadčloveško in strahotno ^po*astnega in peklenskega

^ Janko N Rogelj:
•i.	vi pišete
Krokodilov« solze.
Ko je princ Pavle podpisal pogodbo z Nemčijo, sem se veselil, da bo Jugoslavija ostala brez prelivanja slovenske krvi, a vi hinavci pa niste bih zadovoljni to naredbo. Hoteli ste, da se naši bratje vržejo pod Hitlerjeve 70-tonske tanke, da naj storijo samomor Vi 'swivel chair' junaki, tukaj varni Ameriki ste pribijali naš narod na križ, samo zaradi tega, da se dopadete tukšajšnjim 'war monger jem.'
Vi Judeži Iškerjoti, pokrijte svoje obraze, da ne bo naš narod videl svojih krvnih izdajalcev.
Kadar bom jaz dal, ne bo šlo skozi vaše črne roke, to je sigurno.
Ne samo, da ste sprosili smrtni poljub od Roosevelta za naš narod, ampak hočete, da še mi in naša adoptirana mati krvavi za glorijo angleškega imperija, ki je do sedaj pomagal v grob vua-Jcemu malemu narodu."
Pismo je bilo dano na pošto 30. julija 1941 ob pol osmi uri zvečer ter naslovljeno takole: Janko N. Rogelj, direktor pub. J. P. O., 6117 St. Clair Ave., City, ter podpisano: "Rodoljub iz pametjo." (^ismo je varno spravljeno.)

Ako ima naša ameriška Slovenija take rodoljube, potfm ni nič čudnega, da je mrtva za vse kii-ce na pomoč. Ako smo v našem duhovnem življenju padli, tako globoko, potem vse neha.
Zato je prišel čas, da naj spregovori vsaj tisti del našega naroda, ki je ostal zdrav, čist in sa-mozaveden. Izpregovori naj, kot je rekel naš veliki slovenski pesnik Oton Zupančič v svoji pesmi "Naše pismo":
Narod vas bo izpljunil
kot zavrel ico.
O, skaženo vino!
O, vi počeni vrči!
Strune brez našega glasu!
Zvite strune brez glasu!
Prazni, počeni vrči!
Vino zavrelica!
, Slovenci in Slovenke, kjer koli ste po širni Ameriki, udarite in odgovorit^, v javnost pošljite vaša imena z darovi za slovensko sekcijo Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora. Vsaka slovenska naselbina naj odgovori krepko in jedrnato na pismo "rodoljuba iz pametjo." Organizirajte lokalne odbore, govorite na društvenih sejah, dajte in pomagajte, ča; je prišel, da zbrišemo našo sramoto, saj naši obrazi so čisti, nam jih ni potreba pokrivati z rokami.
Naše plemenito gealo naj bo:
Kri ni voda! Daj, brat, daj; pomagaj, sestra!

O Prvem maju ln 20-letnlci društva 104 Weet AIlls. Wls. — Po dolgi in ne prehudi zimi — v Wiscon-sinu je navadno precej huda — smo se zopet znašli v pomladanski sezoni. Regrat je na dnevnem redu, solata se seje in ne bo več dolgo, ko bo tudi drevje zbr-stelo.
Vse to je znak, da se zopet bližamo-Prvemu maju. To je dan vsega razredno zavedenega delavstva, dan, katerega smo v stari domovini že v mojih otroških letih težko pričakovali, in sicer ne samo radi tega, ker je bilo tisti čas že vse v cvetju in smo lahko pozabili na mrzle dneve. Bilo je vse prerojeno in zdelo se nam je, da se bliža novo življenje. Radovali smo se ga tudi za to, ker smo se zavedali, aa je Prvi maj mednarodni praznik: dan trpinov in izkoriščanih delavcev, dan protestov in zshtev za boljše delavske razmere.
Ta dan smo premogarji v starem kraju v Hrastniku na Spodnjem Štajerskem častno proslavljali. Nobeno kolo se ni zasukalo'ta dan v rudnikih. Na delu je bila samo straža. Spominjam se leta 1913, to je zadnje slavno-sti tega praznika, ki sem ga praznoval v stari domovini in ki mi je še dobro v spominu. Zbrali smo se pred našim Domom ali, pred Konzumom, kot smo ga i-menovali, okrog devete ure zju-trej vsi organizirani unionisti in socialdemokratje. Zbrali smo se pod mlaji, ki so bili postavljeni prejšnji dan in na katerih so vihrale zastavice. Močan pevski zbor nam je zapel par pesmi, med katerimi je bila vedno "So-cialističns koračnica". Uvrstili
smo se po dva in dva ter v po-vorki odkarakall navzdol proti železniški poetaji ob Savi v Der-novškovo gostilno, kjer smo imeli shod. Pohod je trejel kakih 14 minut.
Na takih shodih so v tistem času vedno nastopali sodrug Anton Kristan, sodrug čobal, sli sodrug Kerl Malovrh, ki je bil ravnatelj Konzums v Hrastniku (Malo pred to vojno sem čitel. da ima še isti posel. On je zelo vrl in pošten človek.) Govorniki na sho-du so ognjevito napadali Trboveljsko premogokopno družbo radi nesramnih plač ln razmer, ki •o vladale med premogarji tiste čase. Zahtevali smo glasno vsi skupaj boljših varnostnih naprav. bolj sanitarnih sUnovsnJ in drugih udobnosti.
Po shodu smo ae razšli v Večjih in manjših skupinah, nekateri nazaj v Koncum. drugi domm ne okrepčllo. Popoldne ob drugi uri ae je zopet vse trlo v dvorani
Konzuma in ravno tako tudi zunaj. Nato je zopet sledilo malo govora in protesta proti našim izkoriščevalcem; navadno smo sprejeli tudi par vročih reaolu-cij in jih poslali na priatojna mesta. Sledila je prosta zabave. Vse se je vrtelo, stero in mlado, v dvorani in zunaj po pesku pod smrekovimi mlaji. Tako se je zabava nadaljevala pozno v noč in pevski zbori so nam od čaaa do časa katero zapelf. Sploh je vse pelo in plesalo.
Tako smo , delavci v starem kraju nekdaj praznovali Prvi maj. Nekateri ao ga proalavljali še drugi dan, nekateri celo z de-, belo in težko glevo. Drugače so se take veaelice vedno končale mirno in ne spominjam se, da bi kdsj prišlo do kakega tepežs. Bile so impozantne proslave zavednega delavstva po vsej Evropi, dokler je bilo delavstvo še več ali manj svobodno ln dokler je melo svoje bojevne organizacije. Te mu je brutalno razbil naclfa-Šlzem in tudi okupiral in popačil Prvi maj za svoj praznik. Ampak vseh dni še ni konec ... še bo vstal Prvi maj za ves delovni
razred--—
Tukaj v West Allisu imamo letos lepo priliko, da se spomnimo pomens Prvega maja. In to bo na 20-letni slevnoeti našega društva Združenje 104 SNPJ, čeprav se prireditev vrši 2. maja. Imeli komo dobrega govornika Do-na Ida J. Lotricha iz Chicaga. Nihče mu ne bo oporekal, če w malo dotakne tega velikege in pomembnega mednarodnega delavskega praznika. V U namen nam bo deklemirale "Prvi mej" mlada Hilda Bizjak od mladinskega krožka 18 SNPJ na severni strani, ki je pod vodstvom Helene Ambrozich.

ju, seetri J. Chuck, sestri Ambrozich, br. Ambrož ichu, Joevu Vidmarju in drugiip. Tudi 89c. zbor Naprej je šel mlademu zboru zmiraj na roko z notami in drugim materialom.
Ce se ne motim, je SNPJ Junior All SVar "Chorus prvič nastopil na proslavi 35-letnice SNPJ v South Side ?urn dvorani. Takoj je pokazal, da je v dobrih rokah. Sedaj že nastopa gosteje na priredbah tukajšnjih društev. Zadnjič je nastopil na 35-letnici društva 6 JPZS v dvorani KP. Žel je veliko aplavza in mnogi navzoči so mu dali lepo priznanje. Tudi govornik se je v govoru pohvalno izrazil o njih. Želeti je, da se ob takih prilikah pove, da je to mladinski zbor SNPJ, da so njegovi voditelji člani jednote in da g« podpirajo vsa tukajšnja društva jednote z mesečnimi prispevki iz svojih blagajn.
Bratje in sestre in prijatelji, ta mladinski pevski zbor bomo slišali tudi ml tukaj v West Allisu na naši proslavi 20-letnega obstanka društva Združenje 104 SNPJ, ki se vrši v soboto zvečer, 2. maja, v Delavski dvorani na 64th at. in W. National aye. Nastopil bo prvič na tem odru, prvič na naši priredbi v West Allisu.
Vsi ljubitelji petja in kratkega programa, ki je pripravljen za to proslavo, ate uljudno vabljeni. Pridite tudi iz bližnjih naselbin na to našo proslavo in ne bodite prepozni, ker program se bo pričel izvajati točno ob osmi uri. Vstopniee ao v predprodaji samo 40c z davkom vred.
Glede naših članov omenim, da je društvo sklenilo, da mora aprila ali meja vsak član in članica plačati 40c izrednega oses-menta, za to prireditev pa vsakdo dobi dve vstopnici, eno prosto, drugo pa lahko proda svojemu prijatelju. Z drugo besedo: vsek Član plafs za to priredbo doklado in prode eno vstopnico, s prosto ali brezplačno se pa udeleži priredbe. To je zelo malenkostno delo. Slab član bi bil, kdor bi se temu branil in ne hotel izvršiti še tpga pičlega dele za svoje društvo. Pomislimo, koliko mere delali pripravljalni odbor, koliko časa mora potra-titi, na vse zadnje pa smo vsi enako deležni» istih pravic in ugodnosti od SNPJ.
Pričakujemo veliko udeležbo, ker, kot ae ališi, se društva in posamezniki pridno pripravljajo za našo dvajsetlelnlco. Dvorana mora biti do zadnjega kotička polna. Ako bo premajhna, vabimo v ta narnpn tudi kakih pet tucetov Ribničanov, da jo razrinemo. Tako bomo ustregli vsem plesaželjnim do lepih valčkov in poskočnih polk, kakor jih je zmožna igrati le Bashelnova godba. Če ae dvorana podre, nič za to, potem bomo vaaj šli na delo in ai novo zgradili, katero te naselbina tudi tako zelo potrebuje. Vsi dobrodošli na naši proslavi. Na svidenje 2. maja zvečer.—Ze odbor—

Mešanje z vseh strani —
Ameriški Slovenci imamo odbor za pomožno akcijo v starem krsju. Od 21. febr. t. 1. je U odbor hkratu politični odbor, kateremu je pripadla naloga, da sodeluje z oficielnimi predstavniki iz stare domovine za dosego združitve vseh delov Slovenije v okviru nove, demokrstične Jugoslavije.
Od časa, ko je JPO, SS prevzel omenjeno politično nalogo, sta pretekla dvs meseca. Čas je dane« drag—drag je, ker naravnost drvi—v teh dveh mesecih pa ni imel JPO, SS nobene aej4 in ni izvršil nobene politične akcije...	¥mr
To Je slabo; čas hiti in medtem—drugi elementi ne spe. Razni sumljivi "Jugoslovanski" in "slovanski" elementi izkoriščajo dremanje JPO, SS in na svojo pest tolčejo po velikem bobnu in be-gsjo naše ljudi... Tolčejo z manifesti, proglasi, resolucijami z vseh ftrani in mešajo politično godlo med nami. . . Razni "jugoslovanski" in "slovanski" Mojzesi in mesije, ki se sami postavljsjo, ne spe!
Bratje in sestre, previdnost! Ameriški SlOvencl, previdnost, ču-ječnost! Se nikdar ni bilo toliko paati, toliko zank in limanic za kaline, kakor jih je v teh konfuznib in kritičnih časih!
Čuječnost pa danes najbolj velja za JPO, SS, ki predstavlja naše podporne organizacije s 150,000 člani. Ts odbor ima odgovornost. Samopostavljeni Mojzesi niso nikomur odgovorni. Odgovorni molje na delo! Ne zapravljajte dragocenega čass! Na delo! Razčistite ozračje nad nami! —--*

Nesreče v tovarnah in stavke
Burbonci v kongresu In drugje, ki sovražijo delavske unije, neprenehoma pripovedujejo, koliko bojnih ladij, bombnikov, tankov in topov Amerika izgubi s stavkami v bojnih industrijah. Teh Izgub so naračunali visoko število.
Do danes pa še ni noben burbonec izračunal izgub, ki Jih doživlja Amerika leto za letom zaradi smrtnih in telesnih nesreč v ameriških industrijah. Ne, burbonci nikdar ne komentirajo teh izgub—kajti s tem bi udarili roko, katero vedno ližejo. Saj je sUro dejstvo, da induatrijake nesreče in bolezni izvirajo največ iz zani-kmoati fabrikantov in lastnikov rovov ter železnic, ki se bolj za nimajo za svoj dobiček kot pa za varstvo delavcev.
Neki delavski liat je na podlagi uradne ststistlke izračunal, da ao industrijske nesreče in bolezni v letu 1941 povzročile Združenim državam izgubo 20 velikih oklopnih bojnih ladij, 7000 težkih bombnikov in 200 rušilcev.
V omenjenem letu je bilo namreč v ameriških induatrijah ubitih 18,000 delavcev ali 6% več kot v letu 1940; število ranjencev in trajnih pohabljencev ter bolnikov, ki so se nalezli bolezni pri delu, pa gre v miUjone. Vseh žrtev smrtnih nesreč v industrijah, na ceatah (avtomobili) In doma je bilo 101,500 v letu 1941, Število ranjenih in pohabljenih oseb pa znaša 9,300,000.
Ali veste, kaj pomeni gornja izguba življenj in zdravja za Ameriko na izgubljenem zaalužku? Tri milijarde 750 milijonov dolarjev!
Kadar vam torej kdo čveka, koliko bojnih ladij in bombnikov zapravijo delavci s stavkami, citirajte Jim gornje številke, ki kažejo, koliko potrebščin zapravijo kapitaliati, kateri se ne brigajj za varstvo in zdravje delavcev,
Časa primerno pojasnilo
Bil Je mož z imenom Jože Družba, ki Je prišel v veliko zagata Jože Družba Je obolel In zdravnik, ki ga je Jože pokltoal k sebi, mu je dal ultimat: Takoj na operacijo, če ne, bol morda živel le eno leto in potem zate ne bo več pomoči!
Operacija ae Je imela Izvrlitl na želodcu, ki mu Je začel gnitl— zelo nevarna bolezen Toda Jote Družba je že dolgo let trpel le na neki drugi nadlogi.
Ta nadloga je bil kroničen, vedno se gnoječ in zelo boleč tvor na vratu* prav odzad, selo mučna, razdražljiva in ogabna nadloga je bila to Vrat je moral biti vedno obvezan in ovratnik srajce zmerom odpet Jožeta Družbo je ta tvor silno jezil, ali lznebiti ae ga ni mogel, čeprsv se Je zatekal k raznim zdravnikom. Dajali ao mu vsa mogoča mazila, ki pa tvora niso odpravita. Dosegla ao le to, da ae je tvor čim prej prepustil, «noj je iztekel, potem pa se je začelo zbirati znova , . ..
Jože Družba je močno aovratil svoj-tvor na vratu. Včaal se mu je zdelo, da je njegovo življenje brez vrednoati ... Čemu bi človek prenašal to? Ali bilo je upanje Umrl ne bo zaradi tega. Uh-ko živi le mnogo let in z njim vred živi upanje, da nekdo le od-krije pravo sdravllo, katero doseže, da se tvor posuli in odpade.
Zdaj pa je prišel Jože Družba v resnično krizo. Nova bolezen nI šala—njegovo življenje je ogrožano ... Če ne gre na operacijo, ga bo kmalu konec ... In konec bo njegove muke od tvora! Ha, blažena mtoel!... De. blažena a le za hipec ... Ali naj ae žrtvuje zaradi tvora? . . . Zaradi neke nadloge, kateri se je še privadil in katero nekako le prenaša* ... In v njem le vedno živi upanje, da bc» enkrat I ud i tvora knner— S smrtjo pa umre vsako upanje ...	#
Jože Dnižba je pozabil na svoj tvor! To je zdaj postransko! Glavno je operacija, katera mu ohrani življenje ne glede na to. če mu ohrani tudi bolestne od tvora! Glavno je, da živi! življenje je večje važnosti kot vee drugo, kajti, doktor je življenje, je tudi upanje na zdravja! — — '
Za ponsoč Rdečemu krilu
Cle Elum, Weak. — Tukajšnji ^ugoalovani prirede veliko plesno veselico za Rdeči križ. Vršila se bo Z maja v Masonic Halli v Roalynu. To veselico bodo priredila vsa naša društva, devet po številu, iz Cle Eluma, Rosi y na in Ronald a. Ta društva ao slovenska, arbska in hrvatska. Ves dobiček bo darovan Rdečemu križu, kar bo stroškov, jih bodo pa plačala iz svojih blagajn sodelujoča društva.
Torej rojaki in društveniki, ne stojte na strani. Stopite v prvo vrsto in kupite vstopnice vnaprej. To vas bo komaj stalo dolar za dva — za moža in ženo, za fanta in dekle. Vstopnice lahko kupite v Cle Elumu pri Georgu Butalu ali pri spodaj podpisanemu, v Roslynu pa pri Gabrielu Kauzlanchu in pri Georgu Smovjerju.
Sporočam, da tudi od tukaj pobirajo mlade fante v armado. Prejšnji teden je odšel Prank Moškon, član društva 371 SNPJ. V tej okolici so večinoma aami premogorovi, ki obratujejo po pet dni na teden. Vreme imamo še zmiraj bolj zimsko, čeprav je že sv. Jurij tukaj, ali mi smo še kar obdani od snega po vseh tukajšnjih hribih in planinah. — Za veselični odbor—

Ana Beniger sodeluje na Sovinem kimfortu
Chicago»—Prvi maj, nekoč— gotovo bo še tudi—mednarodni delavski praznik, bo kmalu tukaj—prihodnji teden. Tako bo kmalu tudi prva nedelja v maju, ko se vrši pomladanaki koncert pevskegs zbora Save v dvorani SNPJ.
Sava se pridno pripravlja tudi za ta koncert, da posetnikom nudi čim boljši užitek. Zadnje čase imamo zopet po dve vaji na teden in zažingamo "kot bi nas bilo 60," kakor je zadnjič rekel pevovodja Jakob Muha. Sicer ne pri vseh, pri nekaterih pesmih jo pa res dobro "pritisnemo", na primer pri mogočni sklsdbi "Naše gore", ki jo imamo po več letih sopet na repertoarju. Mogoče se glssl dsnes bolj mogočno, ker tudi pevci in pevke Ssve želimo, da bi bili nali v starem kraju zopet svobodni, še bolj avobodni kot so bili kdaj v preteklosti. In ta pesem predatav-lja vso sinjo lepoto Slovenije, predvsem pa njene veličastne in kraane gore, po katerih se danes skrivajo slovenski četniki v borbi sa—svobodo.
Prekrasni Gorenjski bomo ns tem koncertu posvetili še eno pesem, ki tudi opevs njene gore, in sicer "Triglav"—"V Gorenjsko oziram se skalnato stran—". Tudi U bo donela v vseh svojih nlanssh in fortisimu. Splošnemu delu in delavstvu pa bomo po-svetili tudi zelo krssno in mogočno sklsdbo "Slava delu", s katero bomo odprli koncert. Sledilo bo še več drugih pesmi, mod temi tri nove. ki smo Jih prejeli od Zarje iz Clevelanda, za kar Zarjanom lepa hvala. (Tudi mi Jim radi postrežemo, toda so Zarjani vedno nekaj korakov pred nami, kar se tiče novih in "novih" pesmi. In tako so večinoma le oni nam na uslugo, ampak duša njih zbora, Leo Polj-Šak, nikdar ne ugovarja.)
Nekaj posebnega na tem koncertu bo zopet nastop Anne Beni-gerjevc najboljše slovenske so-prantatkc v Ameriki. Sava al, šteje v čast, da Jo je pred par leti ona predstavila naši čika-Ikl In na splošno tudi slovenski javnosti v tej deželi. Ker ona rea poseduje veliko glaaovno vrlino in ker ae vea čas pridno vežba v glasbeni loti, se je od tedaj res že razvila v prvovrstno pevko Sava upe in želi, da ae jI njene nade izpolnijo in da ae bo povrpela v družbo najbolj-lih profesionalnih pevcev Amerike. Kakšne skladbe bo podala. bnmo povedali prihodnji teden Vsekakor pa je njen nastop sam na sebi dovolj velika atrakcija. ki hj morala privleči slehernega ljubitelja lepega petja na U Savtn koncert. V drugem delu pa namerava
operacijo za kilo. Članstvo ¿it| ma žali hitrega okrevanja Irr da se zdrava vrneta iz bolnišnice.
Dne 13. aprila zvečer smo se odpeljale z mojimi hčerkami na obisk sestre Mary Eržen na domu pri ainu v hotelu, Mary je res že veliko hudega prestala. Je mati seämih otrok, toda, kot je rekla, ni pri vseh sedmih otibkih prestala toliko boleči^ kot i tej bolezni. Mary je tudi Članica našega gospodinjskega odseka. In tako so Članice sklenile na aprilski seji kluba, da ji polijemo svežih rož. Ne morem vam pove-je bila vesela lepih
Sava podati spevoprizor, ki se imenuje "fcanjci in ženice". V resnici je venček narodnih pesmi v prizoru. Če se -bo posrečil, bo nekaj lepega—le žal, da smo ga dobili "prepomo v roke." In sicer smo ga dobili "na posodo" iz Waukegana od Um- daU ^^ kajšnjega pevskega zbora Slo-;	P-

Bila liko solza našim trpečim bra-je operirana in je operacijo sreč- tom in sestram v stari domovino prestala. '	' ni.'
Ko sem jo obiskala, je bila ze-j Zakaj smo tako trdi in indi-lo zadovoljna. Jaz bi jo bila go- ferentni do tako velikega trp-tovo že prej obiskala, če bi bilaljenja naših v starem kraju? prej Izvedena. Tako amo na zad-, Včasih, ko je šlo za dobro stvar, nji seji društva sklenili, da se smo bili mehkejši. Sedaj pa, ko da v Domače vesti v Prosveto, nas obupano kličejo naši bratje kadar se član naznani bolnega in sestre v rodnih krajih, se pa In da je v bolnilnlci. To bo po- le zmenimo ne zanje — vsaj ne
ročala naša tajnica in tako bomo lahko prej izvedeli, ker le tajnikom je najlažje poročati take vesti.
Dnfc 13. sprils sem šla zopet v bolnišnico v Pittsburgh, da o-blščem mojo bolno prijateljico in sestro. Tam sem izvedela, da je sestra Eržen prejšnji dan zapustila bolnilnico. Jaz sem vseeno tom obiskala naia bolna člana Johna GodJ*> in Antona Bo-nača, ki sta tudi srečno prestala
v večjem obsegu. Res je, da nekatera društva in nekatere naselbine prirejajo veselice v ta namen in se odzovejo s par sto-taki. Ampak teh društev in teh naselbin je vse premalo. Ali mislite, da je s tem ta stvar rešena? Niti malo ne! Kljub do srca segajočih klicev naših dobrih in poltenih voditeljev, *se niti ne zganemo. Izjema so le prej omenjena druitva» ki so hvale vredne, in nekateri posa-
mezniki, ki so se odzvali z večjim ali manjšim prispevkom.
Zdaj pa poglejmo, koliko imamo že na rokah, to ji v blagajni slovenske sekcije Jugoslovanskega • pomožnega odbora. V zadnjem izkazu je bilo okrog $16,000. Torej po tolikih mesecih moledovanja za tako plemenito stvar, pa je bilo med vsemi ameriškimi Slovenci nabranih komaj $16,000. Če se hitro ne zganemo,, nas bo kmalu sram. Nekateri ljudje sramoto res prenesejo, ampak takih je zelo malo. r V • <■«
Torej zganimo se, dragi Slovenci širom Amerike in globoko posežimo v žep! $ej nismo tako revni, saj večinoma vsi delamo in zaslužimo in tist& bomo lahko pogrešali. Vestšk kaj, tukaj je moj predlog: V^saka večja družina, pri kateri delata dva ali več, naj daruje |25s manjše družine po $15 in $10. Moja. družina je precej velika in torej jaz darujem $25. Če mi ne verjamete, vam bo to v kratkem potrdil glavni predsednik SNPJ Vinoent Cainkar, kateremu bo ta vsota poslana, on jo pa izroči na pristojno mesto.
Če se nečemo blamirati, je potrebno, da hitro zberemo skupaj vsaj četrt milijona dolarjev — $250,000. In to vsoto lahko zberemo najkasneje v 60 dneh. Odprimo srce in darujmo. S tem pokažemo, da smo vredni sinovi dobre, a sedaj uboge in iz-bičane slovenske matere.
Ali kdo podpira thoj predlog? Upam, da bo podpiran in soglasno sprejet, za kar se v* imenu trpečih onkraj morja, ki gledajo na nas in nas kličejo na pomoč, zahvaljujem in va» bratsko pozdravljam.

Ta zabava se bo vršila 2. maja v Masonic Halli v Roslynu. '

Zahvala Cankarjevo ustanova
Cleveland.—Naša poznana rojaka Joseph Globokar in mrs. Anna Švigelj, oba člana društva Naprej 5 SNPJ, sta darovala vsak dva dolarja, ker se nista mogla udeležiti banketa, katerega je priredila Cankarjeva ustanova v počast 75-letnice našega pisatelja Etbina Kristana. Mrs. Švigelj se ni mogla udeležiti radi bolezni, ki jo že nad mesec dni priklepa na dom. Iskrena hvala požrtvovalnima rojakoma, kakor tudi udeležencem banketa.
Sestri Švigelj želimo, da kmalu okreva, da se bo zopet mogla udeleževati naših kulturnih priredb in da se bo v nedeljo, 24. maja, udeležila tudi otvoritvenega piknika izletniških prostorov clevelandsklh društev SNPJ na Chardon in Heat rd. Na U piknik vabi odbor teh prostorov tudi vse naše ostale rojake in posebno le člane SNPJ. *

VELIKO BESED. MALO HASKA
Danes nekoliko besed o stvari, ki se gotovo nas vseh—vsakega slovenskega rojaka in rojakinje—direktno tiče in je za nas vse posebno važna. To je vprašanje naše pomožne akcije ali zbiranje iklada za pomoč nesrečnim bratom in sestram v starem kraju.
Baš te dni je minilo ^no leto, odkar so nacifašistlčni oblastniki invadirali jugoslovansko državo brez vsakega izzivanja ali kakega opravičljivega vzroka. Požrešnemu tujcu se je zahotelo naših krajev, jugoslovanskega žita, lesa, živine ter drugega bogastva in dobrin, ki jih je pridelala žuljava roka našega naroda. Podivjane nemške in italijanske horde so udrle v naše kraje ter takoj pričele i strašno morijo, posilstvi, ropanjem in pudlošenjem in povsod sta zavladala samo groza in nepopisno trpljenje.
' A 1.	i
Videti je bilo takoj spočetka, da bo slovenski narod pri tem krvoločnem pohodu krutega tujca strašno težko prizadet. Fašistični trinogi mu niso uničili samo gospodarskih in kulturnih ustanov, temveč so poklali ali pa pregnali vse izobražence ter mu vzeli vMko možnost za narodno bitnost. Slovenija razkosana, narod zasužnjen, okraden in oropan vsega—-to je usoda naših ljudi. Nikdar v zgodovini človeštva—tudi za časa turških pohodov v naše kraje—ni bilo toliko surovosti in brezčutja in nikdar tako grdih nečloveških početij ter nepopisnih grozot kot so jih sedaj izvrševali nacifašistični zelotje nad slovenskim ljudstvom.
Tako teptan in brezmočen ter od vseh strani od silnega sovražnika obkoljen se slovenski narod ni imel komu pritožiti in od niko-p pričakovati rešitve. Edino upanje, ki mu je še ostalo, je bilo t tem, da bomo morda ameriški Slovenci kljub zaprti meji in najstrožji cenzuri na kak na£in doznali za njih strašne gorje in jim bomo mogoče v stanu kaj 'pomagati. To je bila edina za njih še »vetla zvezda na daljnjem obzorju. In na to mnogo zidajo ves čas.
Ali pa tudi uprsvičeno? Ali bomo ameriški Slovenci slišali obupni Klas naših zasužnjenih očetov in mater ter bratov in sester v »tari domovini? Ali bomo slišali bratski klic pregnanih z domače rude in iskajočih zavetja po tujem svetu? Ali bomo slišali pregnane in ubegle v gore, ki se z drugimi četniki vred bore proti tej Jtrašni krivici in za zopetno osvoboditev svoje domovine? Ali se wno potegnili za vse te nesrečne žrtve fašističnih krvolokov in Js»ilnikov ter odgovorili s primernimi denarnimi prispevki in ka-** drugače moremo?
J« mislim, da bomo. Jaz mislim, da se bomo končno izkazali ^ pravi, verni in bratsko sočustvujoči sinovi in hčere dobrega ^enakega naroda ter doprinesli svoj pošten delež za lajšanja lrpljenja in končno popolno osvoboditev slovenskegs naroda v sta-kraju To ne samo, da hočemo—MORAMO!
Ameriški Slovenci amo slišali obupujoči klic bratov in sester iz kiaja. Kmafu po vpadu fašističnih nasilnikov smo zaslu-
Ul.. kaj
*r Kodi z njimi in da bo naša pomoč potrebna. Zavedali ™ * svoje bratske in humanitarne dolžnosti in smo začeli skupno m«*>wio akcijo pod pokroviteljstvom centrsliziranih bratskih podlih organizacij. Izbrali smo za to funkcijo posebni odbor, v ka-P» kopane vse sodelujoče organizacije ter objavili apel za *»»rn». prispevke, da zberemo potrebni sklsd, brez katerega se-lgre. Denar je potreben za direktno materialno pomoč, ki jvr***mo in moramo dati svojim rojakom in čisto brez denarja sc ril n « liko storiti za njih osvobojenje. ----------*
pomožna akcija je bila torej lepo zamišljena in dobro orga-¿rr,ru Zlaati je bilo lepo in hvalevredno, ko so se vse centrali-,f* P^iporne organizacije Uko velikodušno odzvale ter pri stva-**,ov*le. Vsakdo, ki ima kaj narodnega čuta ter smisla za ' v je gotovo tega razveselil. Naša pomoč sUri domo-takem položaju in v zgodovinako Uko važnih čaaih je velika potreba; če je kdaj bila potrebna skupns akcija vsega zivlja, je gotovo tukaj potrebna.
«k/	bl £lovek logično sklepsl. da mora naša pomožna
y 'lokaj uspešna, toda nI, vsaj kar se zbiranja sklada tiče. m r,vki,r Je eno leto, odkar smo organizirali pomožni odbor Ur korit IK'1 ' to3*<ievne prispevke, nabrslo pa se je do sedaj kome) ■ »i« ali malo več, kar pa je vpričo ugodnih razmer ln naše vH,ko V^umh ln nam ne dela nič kaj posebne časti uP*m, da se bo to še lahko popravilo Vemo. da je med reetej članov in rojakov, ki ae dobro zavedajo U narodne ¡¡T**'da bodo njih lepemu vzgledu sčaaom sledili tudi drugi.

Jolly Allis Lodge
WE8T ALLIS. WIS.-The Jolly Allis gang has become somewhat lax. In so far as the activity of the lodge is concerned, but it didn't take long before the mcmbera thcmselvei noticed thla, and have commenced to put forth more effort and making It a lodge rather than Just another paper policy
On May 9. the Jolly Allla Is holding a dance at the Labor Hall on the corner of South 04th and West National Avenue. The orchestra of Frank Bashel will be there and that means plenty of music. We will be looking forward to aeelng the fine crowd of Minnesota Ranger» again.
There la aomc talk going around that the Jolly Allis boya would like to bowl the Wolverine lodge for the J. A. trophv. There is no doubt about the Jolly Allis boys being good, so I would advlae the Wolverines to bring along their lawn roller instead of their bowling balls, when they come to the SNPJ bowling "tour-namcnt in Milwaukee April M.

DETROIT. MICH.—The Young American lodge is sending two delegates to thf American Slav Con-gms. It is to be held at one of Detroit's fiaeet hotels, the Bpok Cadillac, on April 20 and 20. The conventioo business session will begin at 9 a. m.„ April 20, and the maaa demonstration will be held April 26 at 2:20 p. m.
Our lodfe approved a >0 ad in the American Slav Congress Program Booklet
The laat Young American lodge meeting was laMdng in attendance. Even our brother chairman was absent The reason for the decrease in atterpienqe is that mapy of our members are working Sundays. We have also contributed It of our active members to the armed forces. The last dance that waa held for the members in armed forces was not s success. In fact the proceeds showed a deficit which was paid from the lodge treasury. The poor showing at this dance wgs due to the fact thai many of out Slovenes attended the Russian War Relief Rally; but nevertheless qpr lodge approved that wc send our 10 boys $2.50 each, which is to be paid from the lodge treasury. The reason for this was, for each member to share equally in the expense. Brother Zanc donated $5 towards this amount At the dances the same few attended and the same few do the work
The trophies that our bowlers brought home from Cleveland were proudly shown to the members. The collection was weU worth being proud of. Four boys' teams and three girls' teams are leaving for Milwaukee to bring back more trophies and also the SNPJ championship. Jn the, Slovene-Croatian League, ouh boys In the first division have won second place and the second division hgve won first place. The girls placed -second also. All prizes will be paid in war stampa.
Two new adult members, Frank Baker and Albert Planker, were initiated. Getting new adult mcmbera is not an easy task at this particular time. Getting juvenile members should be our best bet.
A Sloven«; National Home Society meeting was held to discuss the remodeling of the Home. A new kitchen and a larger dance hall is being considered. A new Home, now, Is out of the question, as we are unable to act material. Our present Home needs repairing anil must be done immediately. There is no other alternative than to cither repair or enlarge the present Home.
Brother Frank Jankovlch, who has entertained many SNPJ mem-bera by his dance music, and who played for the last Wolverine dance, has told me, that he .Is undertaking the management of a night club. Frankie, here'a hoping it will be a aucceaa.

MILWAUKEE.—A record break ing number of NINETY-THREE teams have been officially entered to participate in the Ninth Annual National SNPJ Bowling Tournament which is scheduled to take place here this weekend, April 24-20-20, at Besieger's Recreation, 020 North «7th Street. .
The total number of more than ninety teams is considerably more than we had expected due mainly to the war situation which requires many of our members to stay' on defense work. In view of this fact the response for the 1942 national pin event of our Society is indeed a splendid showing, and we greatly appreciate' the effort put into this year's sports event by our keglera everywhere.
Naturally, we are proud and happy to have received ao many entries. We are sure that all who will be with us this weekend will have had an enjoysble time. We are ready and eager to welcome the great SNPJ aggregation in our city! 8. S. Turn Hall The entire 8. Turn HalMthrae halls and four bars—are rented for this occasion so that there will be ample room for all, and you won't have to be afraid of being crowded and pushed around. * ■We will have, two well-known orchestras which will play for your enjoyment Saturday evening, namely, Bcvsek and BashcU with six men, in the main hall, while in the lower haU, Matty Pink will entertain our guests and visitora.

Lunch will be served in the main dining room from 3 p. m. Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon. A good homemade goulaah will be prepared by three well-known cooks of SNPJ lodge Venera—Mrs. Gla-van, Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Vldmar. (They promise some dandelion, too!)

AWARDS—Prises will )» awarded Sunday. April 20
Prevailing conditions have made this one of the most difficult tournaments to schedule, with the thought of satisfying fdl thoae taking part. Due to the war and the vast defense program throughout the country, we all realize that it has affected the members of our lodges as well as anyone else. Because of this condition, a very great number of the entries were received with the request to bowl their entire schedule on Sunday. The committee haa done everything possible to meet these requesta, but it waa humanly impossible to meet every demand and every entry. We have tried to schedule as many of the local teams, doubles and singles aa was possible for Friday night ¿>r Saturday ao as to accomodate the outsiders on Sunday. But ' whatever angle we worked on we got into a mess of trouble. So with the schedule being completed, we hope there won't be sny diasapointed members as to the time they have been listed.
By this time the program books with the enUre schedule should have been received by all the lodges, ao we aak each and everyone to check this book as to the time they are listed to bowl. Bowlers must follow the rules act up by the board. So as not to have the schedule go out of line, we are stressing the point that all bowlers must be at the alleys V4 hour before .bowling time. If a bowler or bowlers shall be late, the scheduled shift will go on at the proper time, and thoae being late will either bowl late Sunday. ao as not to disrupt the rest of the schedule, or they will have to forfeit their entry according to the rules. With thk In mind, we are sure that everyone will cooperate whole-heartedly to make thla tournament a successful one.
In all there were 93 team entries received, and the majority of theae bowlers are alao achcdulcd In the minor eventa. All of you bowlers know that the prizes will be worth while ahooting for. Alao thoae of you who feel that you have no chance to cash In on the prices, can cast that thought from your minds. For the first time in SNPJ tournament history, a number of pood-/effoteship prizes will be awarded to thoae who were not fortunate to win one of the regular prisea. We believe that with thla set-up it will put many of the weaker bowlers in a better spirit
As moat of you know by this time the tournament will be held at the Benainger West Side Alleya.

The main dance will take place on Saturday night ut the So. Side Turn Hall. There will be two famous local orchestras at this dance, so that everyone can be assured of kn evening of full enjoyment. On Sunday there will also be a dance after the bowling is completed, and alao at this affair there will be a prize drawing where a group of lucky people will go back home with a worth-yhile prize to boast of.
In conclusion I want to again stress the bowlers to be sure to be on the alleyB at least a half hour before your scheduled time and with your cooperation in this light everything will go along smoothly.
So on to Milwaukee everyone to what we guarantee will be a sue-ceaaful and entertaining time for everyone. Good luck and may you all win a prize. A. VERBICK,

the time is ripe.
Senator Robert M. La Follettt nid the other day in Senate that free and strong union movement democracy and freedom are gynonymous." He also said that Fascism arid Naziism cannot exist alongside of strong labor unions, and that the drive against labor laws is "designated to bring the nation into totalitarianism." He added that Congress "might better give its attention to a measure protecting labor by outlawing practices which have no place in a free nation."
A recent report of the Department of Labor covered the operating schedules of 1,350 war materials plants in January, It showed that must of these plants are working even days a week, the vast majority of them working more than 100 hours a week. It further showed that a number of plants were working 160 hours or more a week! The report added that in some industries the effort was even more in tense, that is. that they were operating 24 hours a day and seven days a week!
Of course, when we speak about plants—we mean the workers! It ii the workers in these plants that make the high production possible No one but the most reactionary Tory can say that the workers are not doing their full share in this crisis. Therefore, let us hope that the Senators will not yield to the ill wind that blows through the nail, telegram, over the radio, and io the press. The morale of labor is high; labor in this crisis knows hi responsibility and is doing all it can to make the necessary tools of war for the ultimate defeat o? the Axis. Let the lawmakers take notice and act accordingly.

CAMPAIGN FRONT ||B
When this brief report is read by you, FIFTY-FOUR days of the VICTORY CAMPAIGN will have elapsed. During that period, you either used to advantage the hours and opportunities which were yours to bolster the ranks of the SNPJ, or you lost them. In your particular tase, which has it been? How many new members have been admitted into your Lodge since the beginning of the Victory Campaign? Hovrmany new members have you enrolled?	' .71 v.	ri
One new member a month, little as that may seem, is far better than no gain at all. In fact, ipeich locjge enrolled a new .member every month, that would mean e gain of nearly 10,000 by the end of the campaign. That would also mean approximately $25,000 in war bonds and stamps. And money used to buy war bonds and stamps, you know, is money ear-marked for the purchase of planet, fhips, tanks and guns, all fcr the defense of America iyid her Allies. Without money, it would be useless to oppose the enemies who endanger our liberties and our free way of life. Without great financial sacrifice, victory cannot be won and consequently, the rights and freedoms of individuals and groups surely must be dissolved. We. the SNPJ. must be ready at all times to prevent the deelruc Hon of governments and Institutions of the people, by the people and for the people 1
The VICTORY CAMPAIGN provides a source for additional aid towards the WINNING OF THE WAR. We can do much or. we can do little, depending upon the seriousness with which every lodge and member assumes the responsibilities of the campaign. By enrolling new members in the Siy|?J, a valuable service is per-t formed for the men who have been called to the colors and who* are ready to make the supreme sacrifice, if necessary, so that this nation and its democratic institutions might continue to thrive in peace. Among them, we must never forget, are more than a thousand of our own boys—members of the SNPJ! We are proud of those gallant young men—everyone of them! We are not going to let them down, now or ever! We want America and the SNPJ to remain FREE for ourselves and the soldier-members when they return home—for our children and their children's children down through the generations to come! We want the SNPJ to grow, prosper and look after the needs of her membership long, long after this war is over. Yes, with all the strength of our minds and bodies, we do want it that way!"
Latest Victory Contestants
The spirit of the Victory Campaign drives onward and upward as NINE more lodges report the entries of contestants. Among the latest to join the campaign forces is FRANCES ARTACH, Secretary of Lodge 14, Waukegan, Illinois, for many years a very active and aggressive worker of the Society. . The applicatibns of six new members have been received from her. FRANCES PERU-SHEK, Secretary of Lodge 108, sends in five juvenile applications and a promise that more will be on the way before the campaign closes. MATT JUNKO ofyLodge 300, Braddock, Pa., has nine juveniles to his credit and is still going strong. STANLEY TISOL Secretary of Lodge 100 (Trail Blasers), has the full support of his membership in his bid for individual campaign honors and an nounced, a few days ago, that he has already lined up twenty new members. DONALD J. LOTRICH, member of the Supreme Finance Committee and Secretary of the Pioneers, has been chosen es the official standard bearer of the Lodge. The Comets of Universal are backing their youthful and active secretary, MICHAEL ROSIGNOLI, with a start of several new members.
Others to qualify as contestants are FRANK PECHNIK, Secretary of Lodge No. 21, Pueblo, Colorado; MATIJA MAUROVICH, President of Lodge 223, Greensburg, Pa.; MARKO SABICH, Secretary of Lodge 347, McKeesport, Pa., and Lodge 267, whose Secretary, ANTON TRATNIK, reports that the entire membership have pledged their support for the success of the Victory Campaign. That's all the news we have from the Victory Campaign front this week. More later and in the meantime, keep those new members rolling this way and help defend America and the SNPJ!

All-Slav Congress Saturday and Sunday
YUKOJf, PA.—What fifteen million American Slavs living in this country can .contribute to the maximum unity and production in this war against the Asia powers, will be the main issue at the All Slav Congress in Detroit, Michigan, on April 25 and 26
The question of maximum unity and production in our nation and among all the nations fighting the Axis is of utmost necessity and importance if we era to emerge out of this conflict victorious. Disunity among the people of a nation is, and haa bean. Hitler's most powerful weapon.
There is nothing more indispensable to victory than complete
light, familiar airy tunes you'll hear in this oparetta.
Once again, we'll have the pleaaure of preagnting as our soloiat, the talented Ann Beniger. Thoae who have heard her In the past will not miss the opportunity to hear her again.
In the evening, you'll be able to dance to your heart'a content to the music of Gradiaek and Omerza. All in all you're in for a good time so reserve the. date.
MILLIE SIMCIC
unity of all Americana around one single purpose—victory over the fasciat enemy. When unity of this type is achieved and harneaaed to our resources and industries, the outcome of this conflict will not be in doubt
Since it is obvious that on maximum production hinges not only the fate of our democracy, but civilisation also, the Slavic speaking peoples, who compose fifty-three per cent of the arorkers in the nation's heavy industries, are a vital force in prosecuting the country's war efforts. •
That the Axis powers, with their international headquarters in Berlin. are bent on subjugating snd enslaving the peoples of the entire world, is not idle chatter any longer. Among the millions who have already felt the la;ih of the Hitler gangsters are tbc Slavic-speaking peoples of Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe
Hitler has declared that in order for the Third Reich to expand and conquer, the Slavic people must be exterminated. Hundreds of thousands of dead Czechs, Slovenes, Serbs, Poles and Ukrainians, are mute testimony of the bestial intentions of the Nazis. ■ The oppression of the Slav people by Hitler and his satelites has not been an essy task as every enlightened American well knows.

SNPJ Lodge 245 Hold Dance Sat., April 25
LAWRENCE, PA—SNPJ lodge 245 is sponsoring a dance Saturday, April 25, featuring Paul Dolinar and his orchestra. We cordially invite all our members as well as all neighboring lodges.—The following five members are in the army: Tony Jankovich. John Jankovich, Steve Poger, Wm. Lekae and Frank Pol-nik.
SECRETARY.
The heroic resistance of the Russian Red Army has woq. the admiration of the entire world. In the mountains of South Serbia and in Slovenia, the uncompromising struggle of the chetnifcp goes on despite the terror snd hunger.
Traitors, fascists and disrupters among the Slavs have earned the undying hates of millions. To them desth lurks in every shadow. In America, fascist sympathizers among the Slavs are few and far apart Here and there a Slovene praises Hitler—evidence of confusion snd propaganda. Complete ostracism should be our retaliation.
While our kinfolk are suffering and fighting the invader and oppressor on the plains of Russia, in the mountains of Slovenia and
Serbia, the Slavs in the mines, factories and shops of America can and are ungi udgiojgly making great contributions and sacrifices in the battle to produce the essential war materials for this country and its
It is therefore quite obvious that the Administration in Washington would give He fullest support and backing to the All-Slav Congreaa. Important government officials are expected to addreas the thousands ci delegates who will participate. Slovene organizations like other Slav groups are urged to select delegates to this gathering.
Whatever we can contribute to maximum unity and production will reflect on the battlefields of this great war. The All Slav Congreaa will be the best expresaion of our determination that Hitlerism here and abroad shall go down In total defeat. Your organization can and must do its part.	,

While the committee has prepared two pUn for consideration, Vider believes that our presen system of giving aid from special benefit fund i best, and he recommends that it be retained. The next best plan would be that of Bro. Kuhel. and we can also consider the plsn which was submitted to referendum years ago. /
Kuhel proposes the following:
Old Age Assistance
The Slovene National Benefit Society shall establish a separate account in its Special Fund, such account to be known as the Old Age Ai-sistance Account (or by any other adaptable name selected by the Executive Contaiittee).
The income of said Old Age Assistance Account shall consist of $10,000 transferred thereto from the Specisl Fund, plus transfer of the balance in the former SSPZ Old Age Account; additionsl income shall be derived from s permanent assessment of Fiye Cents per member (increase from 4 to 9 cents) psysble monthly by every' member of the Society now contributing to special benefits.
. The funds of thé ' Old Age Assistance Account shall be distributed only as follows:
1.	To pay a fixed monthly sum to members who have attained the age of 70 years or more, who have been members of the Society for 30 yean and who are physicslly disabled and financially depicted.
2.	To pay a fixed monthly sum to members who have attained the sge of 70 years or more, who have been members of the Society for 25 years and Who sre physicslly disabled and financially depleted.
3.	To pay a fixed monthly sum (if the current income will permit) to members who have attained the Sge of 65 yesr'a, who have been mem bers of the Society for 25 years, and who are physicslly disabled and financially depleted. |
The priority to said benefits shall be given firstly to neediest snd oldest members qualifymi under group I; secondly, to neediest and oldeit members under group 2. and finally, if the fundi will permit, to members in group 3; the "fixed amount of monthly benefita shall be determined from time to time by the executive committee in session.
Said committee ahall have full power to sd-minister said fund tn sccordance with the chafing conditions gnd environments of the recipient! and spplicants in the apecified three group». » shsll hsve full power to remove at its discretion from the list of recipients sny member who may subsequently not be quslifled to such sMii<tsncf on account of his or her Improved physical « finsncial condition, and place on the list other deserving applicant who Is more qualinw to receive such an aasistance.
Monthly disbursements from the Old Age Ai-sistance Account shall in j»o event exceed uv monthly income thereof, and all benefits p»>° shsll be of benevolent snd voluntary nsture, si» not compulsory on the psrt of the Society ^^
If spproved by the supreme board, a plan bssed on above provieions shsll be submitted for *P-provsl of the membership through s referendum

Supreme President'* Report
My report will give you the important phases of business and standing of our Society as well a summary of our various sctivities of the past ■An organization like ours la judged by the k it do«*, and the resulta are the beat meaaure what is good for us and what is not, as well ax most dependable guide for determining our in the future. We had a membership drive the year before last ich was carried over to May of last year. While final reports on that campaign were presented the last supreme board meeting, I wish to add t in addition to comparatively good material lu. we had considerable moral success which in* particularly apparent later. That is why a desirable that such campaigns sre repeated n and that this meeting shall again take some ___on this.
We had a satisfactory number of lodge anniver-celebrationa and other affairs at which mem-of the supreme board appeared as speakers performed necesssry agitational work thereby planned programs were presented st most of affairs, and this deserves encoursgement, cularly in view of the constant improvement lodges are showing in this respect. During 1941 we again hed an increasing number district SNPJ days almost all under the spon-ip of local federations and lodges. The ce lens were all well executed and variably im-nt from an agitational standpoint; they should encouraged and spread into other districts snd HU , we have a la?ge number of lodges rea-bly close together. Our last convention con mm-d with this view snd directed our federstions promote district SNPJ days and to tpke active |rt in this work.
Our annual national SNPJ Day last year was fid in Chicago, and. this gave our members an Immunity to visit our headquarters slso. A con-it stream of visitors poured through our build-all three days, and most of the personnel was knost continuously employed in conducting the »tors, it is understood that this wss necesssry. I what is more important, the moral effect was good.
Concerning our athletic activities, I can report * we had several district bowling snd softbsll amenta as well ss the nstionsl tournaments a national softball championahip games taking ■w* m connection with the SNPJ Day celebration 1 Lal*>t day. AH tournaments are directed by 'Athletic board.

I shall mention only that we again show good progress for last year, and that the organization is in good standing. The $2 sick benefit class will gradually improve due to the necessary changes made by the last convention.
The report of the finanoe committee will inforn you on our invested assets snd new investments, and the reports of the editor and business manager will inform you on our publioations snd printery The books of account and administration of all departmenta were audited as usual every half year by certified public acoountants, who found every thing in order.

Report of Vice President
Supreme Vice President Michael Kumer report» that he has been active constancy in the interest of the Society.
Report of Second Vice President
Since the last meeting of the Supreme Board many surprising changes have occurred. We are all out trying our utmost to preserve the democracy and freedom of our country. Through report that reach me, I have been informed that most of the lodges sre doing their share by pdrcharing de fense bonds. Many of our young members have already left our groups to join the armed forces. Some of our best leaders will be gone for the dura tion of the war and this Will no doubt affect our youth movement.	>
Since this Is one of the more important sessions of the Supreme Board—I hope every possible step will be taken to strengthen our organisation and to try to come to an understanding and a definite decision to enlighten our future membership cam paigits. Mr wish ii that we will try to help keep the SNPJ one of the leading fraternal groups in the country.	" ~
As second District Vice President and second Vice President of the SNPJ, I have done all in my power to perform my duties. I attended sll the lodge anniversaries in my territory. I have at tended meetings of various ledges. I also attended the Federation meeting in Bessemer, Pa., where I've tried to organize a new English-speaking lodge. I was also active in our Juvenile campaign of last year in which I secured ten (10) new members. I attended the Fraternal Congress In Toledo, Ohio, which was a vary interesting experience.
As far as fraternal activities in Cleveland are concerned, ws have many. At present we sre preparing for the Invitational Bowling Tournament which will be held on March 14. This will, no doubt, be another great success since the enthusiasm among the ESL's is at its peak. Arrangements are now also under way for the SNPJ Day to be held in Cleveland this year.
I have fulfilled all assignments given me by the Supreme Office.
I hope in my new position as Snd Vloe President I will be able to devote sll the time possible to serve the orgsnlzstion ss fsithfully ss I have in the past.	CAMILUS E. ZARNICK

fSle have been many changes in the six month« since our last meeting. We are living in exciting tunes snd it Is hard to sey whan the storm of war will be over That is why wa must
remain alert.,	._. ,
Many of our young member« are already in trie «crvice. and many more will be called. In the be cinning I thought that their places could be filled by new members, but now I laar that this will be impossible But wa must not loaa hope, for all of these young members are fighting for our demo crstic country and it is the duty ef all SNPJ mam ben to help In one way or another As member* of a democratic lnst»«ution audi as the SNPJ we can be proud of our soldiers who are fighting that
democracy rhell live
In the effort to keep eur ranks strong. H ran be said that everywhere activity and agitation for the «NPJ is greater than ever before
What of our youth and eur Juvenile circles * The reports shew «atiafartory progroas but net as much as I would daaire We must now eanran trate all our efforts under the new directorship not only to keep what we hare but ataa to organ ite new circle* In this work we «houy pay more attention to reault* than la aepanae
I can state that thf ipembers of snpj and former SSPZ are working together as brothers and sisters in the interest of SNPJ
Recently I have bean invited and have attended several meetings of SNPJ And former sspz lodge* and noted that satisfaction prevails.
It seams that than |s more harmony lately, and that becauae we understand the by-laws and rules of the organisation bettor, there are fewer dispute* and criticisms.
In conclusion I recommend that our members be reminded occasionally U exerclae care and good judgment in these critioal times

It la wall that we realise thaae facta new so thst there will be better understanding in this situation, and that we shall conduct ourselves reasonably even if everything shsll not be as in the past.
I shall report first on our membership standing which is a most vital question in s fraternal so clety.	*
As far as the SNPJ itaalf is concerned, although our juvenile department deereaaed by 598 mem bers, wa show a general flgln of 504 members, or 17 more than in 1M0. The membership report gives this in detail. '
Doubtless you will be interested in knowing the membership gain with the merger of 8NPJ snd SSPZ. This is the report:
We gsined fi,!M members in the sdult depart ment, and 1.0M members in the juvenile depart ment, or a total of 7,147 members. There ware 1,740 adult members snd 8|fi juveniles insured in both societies, according to reports received so far from former SSPZ lodge secretaries. It is poosi ble that the final cheek-Up will disclose s slight difference In the latter figures which, as stated, ware received from local lodge secretaries

The expenaea of the twelfth regular and merger convention are 171,911.47 so far, There was a deficit of 110.96110 in the vonventlon fund a* of Dec. 31; additional expense will be for convention minutes and by-law* which will Increase the defi ell to more than 110,000.00
Baaing iwoeipta ef convention fund un the pre* ent membership, we find that tutsl receipts for the four yesrs will be about 141.600.00. If we deduct from thia the 116,000.00 deficit we will have about 117,600.00 In the fund by the next convention, which by conaervstive estimate will be W,000.00 less than we will need.

The Nterger has given us much more work than we expected The many different claaaas of Insurance. loans on certificate*, automatic extended Insurance, etc cause more and more work In the office We already have, for example. I7M members (SNPJ 000. KSPE 1007) who are reeetving alaeeement loans on their cectlfkatee. there are 300 member* (SNPJ 00. SSPZ tit) with automatic insurance In amount of II 70400.00. which
must be checked each month. Then H will be necessary to sdjust the assessment of former SSPZ members in the participating plan, which are have been unable to find time to do so far. Also, according to the merger agreement we shall have to pay benefits as per by-laws of both organizations until this provision shall b< changed by a convention or referendum.
Conditions due to the war have delayed the consolidation of members and the new system of monthly reports, and this has caused additkm.il work in the office as well as to lodge secretaries However, with only a few exceptions, the lodge secretaries have cooperated very well with our office for which I extend my gratitude and particularly to those who had special duties with certificates of former SSPZ. With this help, this work has been almost completed.
I want to acknowledge also the excellent cooperation and woek for the Society of other lodge officers and the members in general during the past year. I hope that they will continue the good work IS these critical times which call for solidarity in greater measure than ever before.
The new monthly reports which are in preparation will undoubtedly lighten the work of lodge secretaries.
I must mention that the employees have shown their good will during this period of extra merger work by agreeing to work overtime. This they have been doing for more than three months, and while it is true that they are being paid for overtime according to union rates, It is nevertheless not especially pleasant to work long hours over such a long period, and for this they deserve credit.
My recommendations to the supreme board are
as follows:
1.	That a uniform rate of interest be charged on loans on certificates for aasasetnent, that is, that rate for former SSPZ members shall be 4% interest instead of 0%.
2.	That for juvenile members of former SSPZ who are so entitled according to their by-laws an identical credit shall be established as for SNPJ "members.
3.	The supreme board shall fix the salary of sick benefit secretary whidi apparently was overlooked at the convention.
It is necessary to report also that because of the merger we have acquired official material, documents and books which must be filed. Almost all our vaults have been filled, and the need for additional safety deposit space will become increasingly acute. The supreme board should solve this problem which threstens not only our valuable records but also the efficiency in our office.
Jn conclusion I wish to say that there is harmony between officisls and personnel and as this is in the interest of the membership and Society, it is hoped that this will remain true.
F. A. VIDER.
, Report accepted.
Report of Assistant Secretary
I am new to the meetings of the SNPJ supreme board, and as a new officer I do not have a great deal to report.
As former SSPZ secretary 1 am proud to report that the consolidation of the two societies officially ratified in September, 1041, was actually carried out in November when the two offices were combined. .
It csnnot be denied that the merger required more work than was expected, due largely to the great differences in the business systems of the two organizations. While much of the work has be< M completed, It Will take perhaps a few months more before everything will be running smoothly. ' Since I hsve been with the SNPJ, from the time of merger snd later as aasistant secretary, I have not had regular executive duties nor have I had time to acquaint myself with the conditions and system of whst is to me a new office, and a new organization. For this reason 1 am unable at this time to give sny explanations or make any new recommendations. During the whole time I have been engaged exclusively in work connected with the merger and other duties concerned almost entirely with former SSPZ.
However, I have one recommendation and that Is that the old age benefit be continued for those SSPZ members who urere entitled to receive it before the merger. I know that many reasons can be given for terminating this benefit, but I am going by the verbal agreement of the SNPJ executive committee at that time thst it will not be terminated. I stressed this point publicly, in our officisl orgsn snd at the special convention and this helped greatly to bring about the merger. Seventy-five per cent of the members of former SSPZ, who were not also members of SNPJ, will continue to contribute the ssme amount as before the merger; this means a higher contribution into the special benefit fund thsn is paid by SNPJ members.
After every merger the members of the affected organization have claimed that they have been deprived In this or that benefit. Shall this claim be repented? I believe that It is in the interest of the SNPJ thst such charges shall not be heard. Before the merger we said that no member shall be the loeer thereby, and we should .hold to this.

Report of Supreme Treasurer
It is customary and in compliance with the By-Laws that the Treasurer submits to the Supreme Board a financial report every six months. 1 hsve therefore complied a brief summsry of the bust ness transactions of the Treasurer's Office for the period ended December 31, 1941. which work waa performed mainly by the Secretary's Office on
Jccount of lilneas and subsequent death of the I ite Treasurer. Brother John Vogrich.
This report will Include principally a statement on various checking aecounu as evidenced In the official records and bank statements. As a new officer, whose term commence«! on January 1 1042. I did not have sufficient time at my disposal to study and acquaint myself with the past trans actions of my office. Par this reason I am not familiar with as many matter* as a person who actually performs theaa duties and who possssi personal experiences and own records for the beau of his report
I intended to compile a summary report on the investment Income and expense for the past six months, but becauae of the lime required for my routine duties, and because of the fact that such a report probably would not coincide with the reports submitted by the Supreme Secretary and the Auditing Committee. I abandoned this Intent In order that there may not be any misunderstand inga. let me state at this time that such a report, if compiled, would not coincide with other report* only to the extent, that It would contain all Investment income and expense of the SNPJ and the former SSPZ. while the reports which you heard, or will hear, will contain asm Mm information only for the period subsequent to September 19 1941, The accountants have tranaf erred Into the Society books the "net" assets «if the former SSPZ after setting up the reserves for liabilities, there

The checking account in the Bank of Montreal, Toronto, Ont, Canada, receives all the assessment from our Canadian lodges; $090.96 of the above balance belongs to the Juvenile Department and $3,390.20 to the Adult.
Cash on hand and in transit as of December 31, 1041, amountad to $103,204.02 in the Adult Department and $3.077.91 in the Juvenile Department These two items represent December income received too late to be deposited on December 31, 1041.
The report on Society's investments will be submitted by the Finance Committee, therefore I omitted same from this report
In accordance wtih the decision of the Finance Committee a substantial number of various bonds and stocks of doubtful value have been written off our portfolio, and for this reason our Ledger Assets did not increase as mush as expected. I do consider this aa a wise business move, which does at least partially comply in this respect with the demands of the State Insurance Department as well as with our own better judgement. Husks have no place with the good grain. This loss will be reduced to a certain extent due to eventual market and economic value of these securities; this might come vary handy in the near future. However, this does not necessarily mean that we have solved the problem of our inferior securities. We must exercise due care so that when the opportunity presents itself we will regain as much as possible.
In addition to the Home Office building the Society owns also ten other parcels of Real Estate, acquired through the merger. Al| of these, except two vacant properties, yield a certain rental. One of the properties has been sold since the first of this month and others will be disposed of as soon as possible. , t
The 12th Regular Contention made several decisions which were to be carried out. Since wc are now in a state of war, we will not be able to carry out some of them, particularly not the decision pertaining to our soldier-members. You will receive a separate report about the old age benefits and the work of the Committee in connection therewith. As a member of this Committee I have tried to explain to members through the official organ Just what may be expected in this respect. To the Supreme Board I recommend to consider carefully all the phases of this problem before making the final decision.
We find ourselves today in most critical times in the history of our organization. Our decisions of todsy will bear a great Importance for the future of the Society. For this reason we must be alert, discreet and foresighted, and should not make any decisions for which we might be sorry later. It is true that we should assist to the fullest extent so that the principles of democracy, liberty and justice shall emerge victorious in this wsr. But at the same time we must be fully aware of our responsibility as members and Supreme Officers of a fraternal society which has a definite mission to perform in years to come. Let us offer our government all the aid possible, but at the same time let us not sidetrack our own responsibility. We must do well in all rcspects—by our country and by our membership.

My report is of receipts and disbursements of sick benefit funds for the past six months. In eluded are receipts and disbursements of former SSPZ from September 19 to December 31, and balance at time of merger in amount of $49,305.34 The $1 class increased in amount of $17,133.85; decrease in $2 class was $2,014.20, and $481.00 in $3 class.
Total assessments for six months was $203,083.85, benefits paid were $180,045.20, and surplus $14,-038.00. Balance of all sick benefit classes as of Dec. 31 was $419,291.09. Reserve in $1 class in creased in this period, SSPZ balance included, in amount of 000*439.19. It must be remembered, however, that the* merger has also increased the liabilities, but in spite of this the $1 class is the strongest and safest.
The problem of the $2 class becomes increasingly difficult and there is little hope of a satisfactory solution. The membership demands more benefits, and the insurance laws require higher reserves. The two do not go together, but nevertheless the law must be observed.
We are paying benefits according to the new bylaws since January 1, but some members are dissatisfied with the benefits as decreased by the con vention. Demands are being made for increased assessment in order that previous benefits could be restored. My opinion is that increased assessment would not solve the problem, first, becausc the entry of new good risk members will be greatly reduced; second, wc must expect that many mem bers will transfer to the lower class.
By decreasing benefits, the twelfth convention made a goad decision. The new provisions make possible the accumulation of a reserve, and unless there shall be stricter demands for a higher reserve, this problem is at least temporarily taken care of.
The work in my department was greatly increased by the merger, as should be self-evident Bro. Kuhel formerly required three days per week to perform the work for SSPZ. Since January 1 it is in my charge and has been carried out with the regular help, although my working hours have been considerably longer. This was the only way to get the great amount of extra work done. In the future it will be necessary to have an addi tional assistant in my department for a few days each week.	LAWRENCE GRADISEK.

Report of Athletic and Juvenile Director
Because I have bean in office, that is, in my present capacity only since the first of the year and did not begin to devote full time to my regular duties until a few weeks ago, I have not prepared a report explaining or describing what has i>ecn accomplished in that short period of time, but I hope to be able to repdrt a few good results the next Umc wc meet at a session of this kind. During the course of this meeting. I expect to propose a plan or two and, perhaps, a suggestion or more that might prove of benefit'to the Society „
I wish to add, however, that to me this meeting with you is an important occasion and an honor, and I believe that with all of us working together, united not divided, for the good of SNPJ, we shall arrive at many decisions and plans that will event ually mean greater progress. It should be the aim of every member of this body to work in harmony for the unity and good will of the entire member ship of the Society.
Today being the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, a great man who was a real friend of the common people, whose memory we hsve learned through history to admire, respect, and hold high as a sym bol of whst is right honest and just, let us here, now, end during the course of this meeting, re-dedicate ourselves to the ideals and principles which gave birth to this nation and to the SNPJ. With firmness in the right as we are given to understand and see right. I'm sure we shall succeed.

Manager's Report for Society's Publications and Printer y
The past six month period passed all too quickly, no doubt because of the preparations for and ses sion of the Society's 12th regular and merger convention. This, therefore, is the first meeting of the new supreme board.
PR OS VETA—In the middle of December. '41, the official organ or Wednesday Issue of Proa veta was printed in 29.900 copies, by the end of the same month in 33.000, and since then In 33,000 copies Due to the merger, this rapid increase of 4.000 gave us much additional work, which necessitated evening and Saturday hours so that It could be promptly taken car* of. The greatest job was checking those members who were members in both organizations We have asked and received the cooperatkm (with few exceptions) of former HSPZ lodge secretaries by sending them severs! forma to fill out and return aa soon as possible to enable more accurate work This took 001 hours besides our regular time, and cost this department 1007 42 Daily Prosveta Is now printed In 9.300 eople* a gain of aeveral hundred copies due to the merger We did not. however, gain financially This, of course. Is explained by the fact that the
WEDNEfinAVj^n^l
former SSPZ members Immediately avaiUd2 selves of the privilege of including thai, t rosveta toward daily Sscripiiens The , ^ a larger number of subscribers, but not tionate increase in finances More Dconu Prow steadily employed, which also account. V ** regularly paid up subscriptions	Ior *
MLADINSKI LIST-Our juvenile maiaskJ also increased by almost one thou*,,. 1 ul ^ it now In 8,000 copies. This, too k^? *!* merger. No other change for this pUblk2£ ? taken place. I might mention .iainT?^ that the magazine is very popular amonr th?"* nilcs as well as adults.	ng **
PBINTERY—In the second half of the tia«t „ ' the printery has been busy with work ^ ^ With convention preparations. No other "i changes have taken place.
Work and cooperation between lodge. fl and main office has been, as for some tim
perfectly satisfactory. Because w^X?
to our advantage and of general benefit to the w ganization, we try to accommodate as nrom^ as poeaible.	promPtl
Neither publications nor printing depart»« has shown any profit for the past ux months likely there will not be any, at least as lonii the present war will endure. This can be eal perceived when you take into consideration ever increasing cost of manufacturing material salaries, etc., while the publication s fund apDr priation is 10c per member, whether the econom conditions are good or bad.
The income of the daily Prosveta is lower evei year. As the children are admitted into the adu department from juvenile, they transfer the weekly into the parents' daily subscription. Ai vertising also brings a very small income which steadily decreasing. During the first world wi we received as much advertising in one month 1 we do now in a six month period. Foreign laj guage newspapers are no longer an attraction i big business. And as Prosveta is not a local papc it is considered even less. I mention this becau some members are encouraging js renewal of t| Saturday issue. In my opinion, this will nev come into being again. The paramount reason that there would be an additional six to cig thousand dollars expense. Where shall wc g this money? Increase the subscription rate 01 dollar? How many would be willing to pay thi Perhaps a hundred or so, and the others wou rather cancel than pay additionally. I am cerU of this because even now the daily would not e: if instead of one to five members being permi to include their weekly toward daily subscript! every member had to pay M.80 as in the beginm These are facts and I base my conclusions on years experience as manager. On the other haq the SNPJ could not sustain the publications fro her operating fund especially in view of the ev| increasing expenses. Let us be satisfied with wh| we have, and especially that we have built i such a good reserve in the past years when t] economic conditions permitted us to do so.
Of oourse, we must always be ready to cope wi and concede to the government regulatioa especially concerning manufacturing materials ai newsprint. It is probable that wc will not be ib to get enough paper, as wc have difficulties wi deliveries already.
I hope I have explained the status of these ti departments clearly enough. At this time the are no special recommendations. However. 01 more point is to be clarified. Many of the form SSPZ members, who were at the time of mer| also members of this Society, think that they a contributing twice to the fund for printing t official organ. This is not true. In fact, membt of former SSPZ only, pay even a few cents k than SNPJ members.	I
Books of account were, as usual, examined the professionals and partly by our auditing coi mittee. For further explanations I will be ava able at the meeting.

As these bonds do not conform to requirements of State Xasurenoe Lew, we have boon gradually liquidating them, and our present holdings amount to about 840,000.00.

Report of Editor of SNPJ Publications
The great eventa which ahook America during the latter part of the year 1941 will, no doubt, produce profound effeots upon us and our publlea tiona. Until the pt-eaent time, however, nothing of epeoial note haa occurred eneept that more and more apaee has been allotted in the Prosvets to the defenae bonds and atampa campaign and to various oMiclsl Information which is of Importance to the altiaena of thia oountry. Of apeclal importance to us is the fact that the foreign language press has aa yet not been subjected to any kind of official oensorahip or government control such as we experienced during the Firat World War. Mueh to our aatiafactlon, democracy still relgna In American oivll life, and we hope it will continue to do ao throughout the duration.
The twelfth regular oonventlon of the Soelety widened the jurisdiction of the Supreme Board over the Soelety publlcetions; it empowered tht Board to decide the political policy of the Prosvets from time to time; it delegated power to the Board to adopt other rules for the Editor to follow. This was done upon my recommendation, and the new Supreme Board will be called upon during this seasion to adopt certain measures. I have prepared a resolution for the rules governing polemicel mat tor, but the reeolution on the political policy may be drafted later on the baala of our dlecuaslon» and suggestions.
There will be some changea in regard to tht Mladinski Liat also. You may have noticed tht omlaaion of the award announcement at the head of the Our School contest in the firat two liauet of thia year. My motion st this aeaaion will b* that the Our School contest, sa heretofore conducted, be discontinued snd a new plsn, aa pre pared by the new Director of the SNPJ Juvenlit deportment, Bro. Vrhovnik, take Ha place. Ex-parlance with the present Our Sohool plan In th« Mladinski List hsa shown ua that a certain group of wlnnera has emerged—eonteatanta who are continuously on the sward llet—and who have aecured a monopoly on the award money, at least In the highest brackets. The contestants who receive comparatively low ainounta or nothing become discouraged and loae Interest to strive for higher awsrda or to improve the quality of their work This csnnot continue Indefinitely. It is neceaaary that a greater number of our Juvenile member« become Intereated in the Mladinski Ll?tr-a group that will ahow Interact In contributing for the sake of the magaxine Uaelf and place monetary awards 8s matters ef secondary importance. Wr shall, then, experiment with the plan of Bro, Vrhovnik if you adopt It at this aeaaion. With thia plsn thia matter will be tranaferred from the edir torial office to the management of the director of juvenile circles, where it rightfully belongs. Ir respect to all other matters, the M^inskl List will be edited as formerly, with the ixception of the apsoe demanded by the director of Juvenile circlea.
There has been nothing of special Import re gerding the work of the editorial office aa auch The aasiatant editors were given an inoreaae in salary, snd are satisfied in thia respect. Then have bean no out-of-tha-ordlnary "affairs'1 with other publications during the laat six months of 1841.	IVAN MOLEK.

Report of Judicial Committee
As in the peat few years, this report will again be a very brief one because there have lieen few eomplalnta.
The farmer Judicial committee settled two easea in the period from the convention to Dceernber 31 In one case the lodge was found not guilty, and in the other tha defendant was found guilty, Th« majority of membera of the new Judicial committee were members of the former committer also.
We have had no new cases since January 1. However, there are at present three matters pend Ing, one of whieh will be settled at a meeting of our committee this Week, while the others require additional evidence and will be settled later.
Tliia is our joint repot t.

The building manager's accounts are audited by I our committee every six months. We received the| following written request from him, which we present to the supreme board for consideration:

Miscellaneous
1)	Supreme President Calnkar has charge of various relief funds. Of these only the fund being collected by the Slovene section of the Jugoslav Relief Committee is active. We found the records in order and the total amount to be $448.38. Some of this will be transferred to the treasurer of the relief committee and we recommend that the balance of other funds now inactive, in amount of $304.18, be transferred to the special benefit fund.
2)	The accountants' chare* for auditing our books for this period is $1809. This is $000 more than formerly, snd the supreme board should Ukc this up. They sUU that this will be their charge in the future for such a detailed audit, but if they will not be required to check in such great detail the charge will be $1200. We recommend that this matUr be left up to this committee, and that
| because of the merger a detailed audit as to the past be made for the next period also.
3)	The convention accepted a provision in the by-laws that two members of one family may not be employed to the SNPJ offices. The executive committee took this up st its meeting on Dec. 17 on question of Bro. Godina, and interpreted this provision to mean that two members of one family may not be permanently employed. The man ager then explained that he had discharged Bro Oscar Godina as permanent employee, and recommended that he be reUined as temporary help in view of the extra work which had piled up with the merger. This recommendation was unani-moualy adopted in the form of a motion.
At "the meeting of our committee it was determined that the word "permanently" does not appear in the convention records of this provision, but wss added later. Why this was done can be explained by those who edited the by-tows. Our committee believes thst it is wrong to interpret the by-laws differently than as accepted by the convention, but we agree with the reasons given for keeping the experienced employee at his post.
4)	The executive committee granted a 10% raise in salaries to employees at Ita meeting on Dec. 2, •toting that the convention gave them the right to do this. While we do not oppose the rsise, our committee considers that the by-tows went Into effect on Jen. 1, slso where this provision Is concerned.
5)	We recommend that the minutes of executive committee meetings shall clearly state every important matter for the benefit of outoide supreme officers.
0) Department heads should O. K. all bills before psyment is made.
7)	Since the SNPJ-SSPZ merger there has been much additional work la the offices making overtime hours necessary. A total of $3,300.05 was paid for overtime to employees in insurance department, and $907.49 In business manager's and prlntery offices, total $4,207.05. As overtime work over s long period Is very strenuous, it is our opinion that it would be bettor snd cheaper to employ temporary help as much ss possible, if the „work could be done Just as well by Inexperienced help. The executive officers stated that the system used was the best under the circumstances for the Important work.
8)	Last year's national SNPJ Day was held in Chicago. Many outside members visited the SNPJ building at this time, snd some of the employees were sppointed to set as guides. They were paid $134.00 for this work at time and a half rates. We believe thst this work should hsve been done without psy because many of our members worked as volunteers st the SNPJ Day celebration without remuneration.
0) We recommend that the president shall enter contributions to the Slovene section for Jugo-slov relief in a special book. At present these are recorded on special blsnks which are attached to the correspondence, and then published to Prosveta.
10) In convention expenses there Is sn Item $407.02 for deficit of convention committee of SNPJ federations of wostern Pa. Our committee doe* not question this payment which wss sp proved by the convention when it was declared that the committee would hsve this deficit which the federations would find difficult to make up.

SESSION FEB. 12. 1 P. M.
Lodge 5, Cleveland, requests payment of two per diems to their alternate delegate to the tost convention. Cainkar explains situation; Maglich believes slternato should have been seated by convention. Usch, Medvesek, Zamlck, Shulsr and Mocnik favor payment. Olip feels that while convention made a mistake In this case, Its decision cannot be now overruled. Barbie, Malgai, Grum, Lotrlch, Vrhovnik tolk on subject Motion car-| rled to pay two per diems as requested.
Cleveland SNPJ federation reports that a resolution was adopted at its November meeting approving support of members In their cultural en-deavors, such aa needy young musical and artl students, and that they have taken action to promote benefit concerts.	j Lisch explains that a juvenile cultural festival ] la contemplated, and that ouside a* well as local talent will take part. Zarnick believes that financial as well as moral assistance should be given. Medvesek stotos that our convention adopted two resolution* concerning support to cultural and other projecto; he suggesU that a I special committee shall study the question of Juvenile education.
On question by Godina, Petrovlch explains thatl this concerns only support for a members festival in Cleveland, and quotes the convention! resolution allowing $9000 for such purposes.
Barbie mentions difficulties to this cbrmection. Ambrotlch explains MinnesoU activities and un-told sacrifice* in the cultural field. Vrhovnik outlines such festival* as presented by SSPZ, snd admito that they involve hard work and expense.
Zupan moves that 1) the SNPJ supreme bosrdl approves the contemplated Juvenile cultural festival in Cleveland; 2) that the executive committee shall give financial assistance at ito discretiqn;, 3) thst the editor sKkll give support in the official organ, and together with the Juvenile director, shall cooperate as much as possible. Motion carried.
John Shum. former secretary of lodge 01, Johnston City, 111., appeals sentence of judicial committee which confirmed decision of lodge trial board in matter of 99.87 received from SNPJ for a membe's assessment The sccused does not deny keeping this money but states that he was I not Instructed about it, and thought it was paid on his own application for assistsnce.
Judicial committee explains this case, and on hearing the evidence motion Is carried to approve decision of Judlclsl committee that the sum must be returned with interast within 30 days, or the member shall be expelled.
Matter of building manager as presented to this meeting: His request that his wage shall be $42 weekly, and $18 weekly to be paid to his helper; J* •*tTS for each day of supreme board meeting; $80 allowance for extra work during the period of overtime rush work in office; reimbursement of amount paid by htm to Social Security for his helper to 1041,
In discussion that follows It is brought out that! this Is in the Jurisdiction of the executive committee, and motion that the matter shall be settled there, la carried. Session adjourned at 8 p
tion to other interested Slovene societies, but has had no reply.	.
Vidrich and Barbie are against decreasing death benefits, which would be veey unpopular. Mocnik is slso against such change in death benefits. Petrovlch explains and quotes convention minutes to this matter. -
Rus admits' that the SSPZ had such a clause in IU certificates, but is in favor of giving a higher value if same can be determined, .We shcaild not consider what others do, but should arrive at what we are able to give, consider»* also, the possibility of epidemics and other disasters which usually follow war.	.
Kuhel analyses various insurance scsles which cover all risks except war. Refund of assessment plus 3% interest is more than was paid in. We must consider that we have written off $300,000 from mortuary fund. These previsions have boon accepted by almost all iiyuranee companies and organlzatiqna, and they should be acceptable for us also. If we desire that the SNPJ shall remain an organisation for all. and not only for one class of members.
Am brozlch states that whatever Is done should be equal for all, that to. tor soldler-mem-bers on foreign soil sad those who remain in this country. She recommends a conference to adopt a uniform plan.
Vratarich believes we should wait and get more information on ago and number of members in the service and then determine what can be paid.
Vider states that we paid one-third death benefit in the last wsr. which wa* satisfactory. At this time, however, almost every family is affected and there is more interest in this. We must con sider our 45,000 members and see that all who will pay and have paid for their insurance shall be protected.
Malgai calls attention to war nurses, and asks if they shall be classified as soldiers. Gradiaek favors a conference of Slovene societies to reach an agreement Vrhovnik agrees,, and i* also lor equality of soldier-members. He is <q»poeed to payment of 10% of certificate value, aad also to payment of reserve qnly. As a fraternal organisation we should do more than the insurance companies. He fsvors levying a 25c special sessment per member par month. , ,
Kumer believes we should pay at least 90% of certificate value. He realizes that the rest of us will have to foot the bill, but If we do not do this, the young people will leave the organization and our campaign will fall in advance, if wo cannot offer more than the Insurano* companies.
Petrovlch moves to adopt the actuary's plan as read and to submit same to referendum. Lotrlch seconds the motion.	,
Lisch favors giving temporary assistance from special benefit fund; also, that a conference be held, and if ftiis fails, that provision of Petrovlch motion shall be adopted.
Maglich does not agree that this matter should be laft to executive committee, and is against paying only assessment plus 9% interest.
Calnkar states that we must consider the organization as well a* our soldtor-membors. We should not stand off, but work together with other organisation. He reads statistics issued by the New York insurance department which show that during the first world war more civilians than soldiers were killed, and that in England at present there have been fewer deaths smong the forcas of the army and navy than among the civil population.
Wo have more than a million dollars surplus in mortuary fund, which can be used, and we can therefore pay more to soidtos* than Just assess meat paid in. How can w* export our now mem bershlp drive to be successful If we do not make the right decision in this matter?
Lisch moves. Ambrozich seconds, that: 1) executive committee shall contact other Slovene organizations for the purpose of adopting a uniform plan for soldier-members; 2) If this fails, a committee consisting of Calnkar, yidor and Kuhel shall present s plan to executive committee, said plan allowing SNPJ soldier-members death benefit warranted by funds and conditions; 9) on approval of plan by executive committee, same shall be presented by mgil to all membem of the supreme board for approval before it to submitted to referendum Motion carried.
