SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
VOJNA NA PACIFIKU
Branilci polotoka Bataana na Filipinih vztrajno odbijajo sko-ro neprestane japonske napade in povzročajo napadalcem velike izgube. Avstralci in Američani v Avstraliji, pod poveljstvom generala MacArthurja, se pripravljajo na obrambo in za ofenzivo in z bombniki napadajo japonske ladje in postojanke na vzhodnoindijskih otokih, ki jih kontrolirajo Japonci. V „ Burmi se bpitiške čete umikajo pred japonsko premočjo.
Koncem preteklega tedna so zavezniki uničili 47 japonskih letal, 50 pa so jih poškodovali, in sicer v okrožju Avstralije, Cejlona in Filipinov. To poročilo kaže, da je letalska aktivnost na obeh straneh živahna.
NA DOMAČI FRONTI
Ta vojna je vojna mnogih front, doma in preko morja. Najbolj važna izmed domačih front je vojna produkcija. Tu vodimo veliko ofenzivo. Pogon za vojno produkcijo.
Pogon za vojno produkcijo je spojen z drugim pogonom, ki se vrši že za nekaj časa in ki mora uspeti, da izdelamo topove in tanke in ladje in letala, ki jih potrebujemo.
Drugi pogon je, da se nabere vsak komad obrabljenih kovin in starega gumija in papirnatih odpadkov in spravi nazaj v tovarne in plavže. To je pogon, v katerem vsakdo v Zedinjenih državah more pomagati.
Uradno se ta pogon naziva Salvage for Victory Campaign. Vrši se pod vodstvom urada Bureau of Industrial Conservation, ki je podrejen War Production Boardu, delujočega potom odborov, ustanovljenih \> 42 državah.
Ravno sedaj ta urad osredotoča svoj trud na 6,500,000 farm v Ameriki, da se naberejo odpadki jekla in železa za železarne in plavže in stari gumij za tovarne, ki preobnavljajo gumij.
Ceni se, da pride približno četrtino tone kovinskih odpadkov povprečno za vsako farmo v Združenih državah, kakor tudi velike količine gumija v starih obročih in ceveh.
Dokler nismo vstopili v to veliko vojno za ohranitev svobod demokratičnih ljudstev vsepovsod, smo bili mi Amerikan-ci precej potratni. Bili smo potratni, ker naša dežela je dežela obširnih virov naravnega bogastva-. -Sedaj se je vse to spremenilo. Naučili smo se, da se iz starega papirja napravljajo zaboji za municijo in konzervirani živež za naše vojake. Naučili smo se, da se iz obrabljenih kovin more napraviti tank ali ladja ali letalo. Naučili smo se, da, ko so nas Japonci odrezali od zaloge novega gumija, da so stari obroči postali ravno tako dragoceni kakor krogle, v
Mi Američani so sedaj učimo tudi štediti. Učimo se rabiti stvari tako, da dolgo trajajo. To je jako važno, kajti predmeti, na katere smo bili navajeni—gospodinjska orodja in priprave, bodo postajali čim dalje bolj redki. Vsak dan prinaša vest, da je zopet kaka mirnodobna industrija bila zaprta, ali da so kake tovarne bile preurejene za vojno proizvodnjo. Niti ne bodo izdelovali nikakih glasbenih skrinj (juke boxes) po 30. aprilu. Ti veliki avtomatični fonografi vporabljajo mnogo kovin, ki so potrebne za vojno. Vsak poedini tak stroj je vseboval zadosti medi za 750 patron.
Za pametno štednjo moramo imeti kako osnovo. To velja za vsakogar izmed nas in to velja za cele industrije. Za razproda-jatelje mleka, na primer. Nedavna preiskava je pokazala, da ako razprodajatelji mlejca ne ukrenejo nekaj glede štednje na obročih, ne bodo sploh v stanu dostavljati mleka po osmih ali desetih mesecih. Seveda se nekaj ukrene. Izmišljajo si osnovo, ki bo zagotovila, da morejo nadaljevati dostavljanja za najdaljšo mogočo dobo.

PROTEKCIJA ZAKLADOV V MUZEJIH
Veliki ameriški muzeji imajo v svojih dvoranah in shrambah mnogo predmetov, ki so nenadomestljivi. V primeru bombnih napadov bi bili lahko uničeni predmeti, ki jih ne bi bilo mogoče nikoli nadomestiti. Sicer upamo, da bodo kontinentalnim Zedinjenim drž a v a m letalske bombe prizanesle, toda gotovega ni nič. Dandanes moram*) računati z vsako možnostjo, in tega se zavedajo tudi uprave muzejev.
V primeru, da bi sovražni letalci našli v podzemeljskih shrambah spravljeni zlati zaklad Zedinjenih držav in da bi mogli razbiti tiste shrambe, bi mogli napraviti veliko škodo, ki pa ne bi bila nenadomestljiva. Zlato, čeprav morda razmetano, bi tam ostalo, in iz rudnikov se more še vedno pridobivati zlato. Nadomestilo, če bi bilo potrebno, bi se dobilo.
Zadeva z zakladi muzejev pa je drugačna. Muzej Smithsonian instituta v Washingtonu, na primer, ima v svoji zbirki nagačene nekatere ptice in druge živali, ki so že izumrle. Dalje ima kip, izklesan iz zelenega kamna, ki je bil najden v Mehiki, o' katerem sodijo znanstveniki, da je bil izdelan leta 98 pred našim časoštevom in je najstarejši znani kiparski izdelek Novega sveta.
V omenjenem muzeju je tudi spravljen prvi pateaitirani pisalni stroj in prvo pismo, ki je bilo z istim napisano. Dalje so tam deli prvega Morsejevega telegrafa in prvega Bellovega telefona; zapisnik parnika Savannah, ki je bil prvi parnik, kateri je preplul Atlantik; originalna ameriška zastava, ki je vihrala na ameriški utrdbi, katero so leta 1814 oblegali sovražniki, in pri pogledu na katero je Francis Scott Key napisal našo himno “Star Spangled Banner.”
Omenjeni muzej kot drugi muzeji v večjih mestih Zedinjenih držav imajo v svojih zbirkah še mnoge druge predmete, ki bi jih ne bilo mogoče nadomestiti, če bi bili uničeni. Zato vsi ti muzeji take nenadomestljive predmete varno spravljajo v zaboje in jih bodo za čas vojne spravili v varne podzemeljske kraje izven velikih mest, kjer ne bodo izpostavljeni letalskim napadom. In splošna javnost ne bo vedela, kje so do-tični zakladi spravljeni.
POMOŽNA VRTNARICA
Poljedelski in vrtnarski eksperti pravijo, da ni boljše pomožne vrtnarice ali farmerice kot je navadna krastača. Ta velika žaba se hrani samo s polži, hrošči, črvi in drugimi mrčesi, ki uničujejo poljske in farmske pridelke. Krastača ni izbirčna v dijeti in ima ogromen apetit. To hvalevredno krastačino delo zatiranja golazni in mrčesov je baje vredno za vsakega vrtnarja ali farmarja 20 dolarjev na leto.
Nikdar ne pozabimo, da je bila Amerika napadena in da smo vsi njeni državljani dolžni prispevati naš del za njeno obrambo.

BOND DAY
PROSTA POŠTNINA Kongres je sprejel postavo, ki dovoljuje prosto poštnino vsem vojakom in mornarjem oziroma vsem osebam v vojni službi Zedinjenih držav. Vojaki bodo mogli torej v bodoče pošiljati pisma brez prilepljene znamke za poštnino v kateri koli kraj Zedinjenih držav, vključno ameriške teritorije in posestva.
VOJNA MORNARICA Število moštva ameriške vojne mornarice je doseglo ali preseglo pol milijona. Od 7. decembra naprej je naraslo za približno 200 tisoč mož. To je znar čilno, kajti vse moštvo v ameriški vojni mornarici tvorijo prostovoljci. Ameriški fantje niso mevže v nobenem primeru, najmanj pa, kadar se gre za obrambo dežele.
AMERIŠKI NAČIN Ameriška industrija se lahko meri z industrijo vsakega drugega naroda, ne samo glede svoje iznajdljivosti in brzine, ampak tudi glede prilagodljivosti. Sijajen primer temu so avtomo-Dilske tovarne v Detroitu, ki so se tako rekoč preko npči prelevile v tovarne orožja. Člankar vplivnega dnevnika New York Times, Arthur Krock, je nedavno v omenjenem listu zapisal, da ga je ta nagli in perfektni preobrat naravnost presenetil.
VOJAŠKE PLAČE
V	zveznem senatu je bila soglasno sprejeta predloga senatorja Johnsona iz Colorada, ki določa povišanje plač ameriškim vojakom in mornarjem. Najnižja dosedanja plača $21 mesečno naj se zviša na $42, to je za sto odstotkov, druge pa proporčno nekoliko manj. Predloga je bila poslana kongresni zbornici, kjer bo nedvomno tudi sprejeta, dasi morda s kakimi popravki.
ZMRZLINA BICIKLJEV Vojni produkcijski urad v Washingtonu je pretekli teden ukinil vsako prodajo bicikljev za toliko časa, da bo mogoče urediti regulacije za prodajo istih. Vzrok za ta 'vladni ukrep je dejstvo, da nenavadno veliko število oseb nakupuje biciklje, dasi jih za enkrat še ne potrebuje. Regulacija prodaje bo skušala v prvi vrsti omogočiti nabavo bicikljev delavcem v obrambnih industrijah.
NEKAJ 0 AVSTRALIJI
DIESOV ODBOR Kongresnik Martin Dies, ki s svojim odborom preiskuje razne neameriške aktivnosti, je nedavno obdolžil odbor vojne eko-(Dalje na 4. strani)
Avstralija, o kateri zadnje čase mnogo slišimo in čitamo in katera bo morda igrala odločilno vlogo v sedanji vojni na Pacifiku, je peti kontinent ali del sveta; po ameriškem sistemu, ki deli Ameriko v dva dela, severni in južni, pa bi bila Avstralija šesti kontinent. Prav za prav je Avstralija velik otok, še nekoliko večji kot so vse kontinentalne Zedinjene države. Meri namreč 3,288,023 kvadratnih milj površine, medtem kot znaša površina Zedinjenih držav, brez posesti in teritorijev, 3,-026,789 kvadratnih milj.
Dasi je Avstralija celo neko liko večja kot Zedinjene drža-ve, ima komaj nekaj nad 10 milijonov prebivalcev, medtem ko ima naša republika nad 130 mi lijonov ljudi.
Avstralija je dominij briti-škega imperija, ki pa ima sko-ro popolno samovlado. Tvori jo federacija šestih originalnih držav ali kolonij. Glavno mesfo Avstralije je Canberra, ki tvori federalni distrikt zase, kot naše glavno mesto Washington
Prebivalstvo Avstralije je v glavnem evropskega izvora; iz haja po večini iz priseljencev iz Anglije ter deloma iz Francije in Amerike. Domačega ali prvotnega avstralskega prebivalstva je komaj kakih 60 tisoč. Ti domačini so na zelo nizki socialni stopnji. Na splošno se smatrajo za najbolj primitivne izmed vseh znanih divjaških rodov. jPolti «q. tarano rjave in se preživljajo večinoma z lovom in le mestoma s primitivnim kmetijstvom.
Dežela ima dobre socialne postave in na splošno dobro in napredno vlado. Značilno je, da dežela lastuje in upravlja večino važnih javnih naprav, kot so železnice, telegraf, rudarstvo, vodne sile itd. Privatno izkoriščanje znatno omejujejo federalne regulacije.
Avstralija leži na južni zemeljski poluobli, oblivana na vzhodu od Pacifičnega, na za-padu pa od Indijskega oceana. Vsled svoje geografske pozicije ima torej Avstralija poletje, ko imamo mi zimo, in obratno. Zdaj, ko je pri nas pomlad, je v Avstraliji jesen. Podnebje je vsled razsežnosti dežele seveda zelo raznoliko. Saj se tudi pri nas v Zedinjenih državah zelo razločuje podnebje, na primer med Florido in Minnesoto ?er med Montano in Californijo. Avstralija je pa še nekaj večja od kontinentalnih Zedinjenih držav. Tako ima Avstralija kraje s tropskim in poltropskim podnebjem, kjer uspevajo palme, vinska trta, razno južno sadje, eksotične cvetlice, drevesaste praproti, južni evkalipti in sladkorni trst, na drugi strani pa spet kraje z zmernim ali hladnim podnebjem. Ponekod pade dosti dežja, ponekod malo ali nič. Na splošno je Avstralija bolj suha pokrajina kot mokra.
V	notranjosti dežele se širijo prostrane planjave, ki so porasle le z nekim trdoživim puščavskim grmičjem, in so vsled tega neporabne tudi za pašnike. Na manj puščavskih krajih pa se pasejo ogromne črede ovac, goveje živine in konj.
Avstralija je bila odkrita med leti 1507 in 1529. Raziskovanje dežele pa je napredovalo zelo počasi vsled velike oddaljenosti od drugih delov sveta, in pa, ker je bila malo prej odkrita tudi Amerika, ki je bila bližja (Dalje na 4. strani)
SEDEM IN DVAJSETEGA MARCA 1941
v “Jugoslavija je našla svojo dušo,” je dejal g. Churchill, ko je izvedel za dogodke 27. marca 1941 v Beogradu. S temi besedami je g. Churchill hotel povedati še nekaj več: Jugoslavija ni samo našla svojo dušo, Jugoslavija jo je tudi na zunaj izrazila. To je bila revolucija, revolucija s sorazmerno majhno dejansko močjo, a zato, ker je izražala dušo—razpoloženje Ju goslavije, se je posrečila. Nikdar ni noben narod bolj složno odgovoril na dejanje, ki se je zgodilo na čelu države, kakor v Jugoslaviji dne 27. marca.
Politika kapitulacije je imela v Evropi toliko vzgledov, da se je ljudem kompromisa zazdela razumna izogniti se vojni in se rešiti. To je bilo čarobno geslo, s katerim se je Hitlerju posrečilo razorožiti največji del svojih nasprotnikov. Politika kapitulacije se v Jugoslaviji, čeprav so jo poiskušali, ni napovedovala v tej obliki. Širilo se je prepričanje, dajale so se izjave, zagotavljalo se je narod, da trojni pakt nikdar ne bo podpisan. S tem prepričevanjem se je doseglo, da se je razorožil velik del javnega mnenja. In šele, ko sta Cvetkovič in Cincar Markovič odšla 25. marca na Dunaj, da bi po Hitlerjevi želji pred Macuo-kom manifestirala, da tudi zadnja država, ki se je upirala, sprejema njegov novi red, se je Jugoslavija zatresla. V prvem trenotku kakor od strele zadeta, z občutkom neprijetnosti in ponižanja, potem obupa. V tem času, brez pripravljanja in brez dogovorov, pride dan 27. marca. Pada vlada, ki je poiskušala kapitulacijo in na čelo države prihaja kralj Peter z vlado širo ke narodne sloge. Brez razlaganja, brez propagande, navadna izjava, da je vlada, ki je podpisala trojni sporazum, padla— vsak človek v Jugoslaviji je razumel pomen in silo tega dejstva. In takoj odobril dogodek.
Manifestacij v Splitu, Dubrovniku ali Ljubljani nihče ni naročeval ati jih pripravljal. Prihajale so iz narodne duše in bile so enake, kakor razpoloženje v Beogradu.
Nismo hoteli vojne. Prav gotovo ne, a prav tako nismo hoteli ponižanja in hlapčevanja Hitlerju. Prišla je vojna in katastrofa z vsemi svojimi posledicami. Razkosanje Jugoslavije na sedem delov, strašne žrtve, borba brez konca. Ali bi se bilo mogoče temu izogniti? kaj je bilo vzrok vsega?
Nemčiji, Hitlerju in njegovim priveskom je bila Jugoslavija na potu. Bila je gorišče Balkana in njen obstoj jeNbil v interesu vse Evrope. Ni bilo prvič v zgodovini, da smo se našli v sporu. Spor so izzvali drugi, ko se je mislilo, da je priložnost tu, da nas uničijo. Kompromisa med temi idejami in jugoslovansko idejo ni Dilo in ni garancije, ki bi jo sovražnik Jugoslavije mogel dati za njen obstanek, ko je pa proti njenemu obstanku. Končno, saj je Hitler vsem svojim žrtvam pred uničenjem obljubljal nevtralnost in obdrža-nje meja. Tako je biio z Avstri jo, Češkoslovaško, Poljsko, Francijo, Rumunijo in po vrsti na prej, a kaj so pomenile njegove obljube? Vendarle, od vseh teh smo mu mi najbolj bili na potu.
Kaj pomeni kompromis? Ka;j se je zgodilo s tistimi, ki so napravili kompromis s sovražni (Dalje na 4. strani)

Včasih so rekli, da je ves svet ena velika godlja. In če je kdaj ta označba stoprocentno veljala, prav gotovo velja v teh zmedenih časih.

Naš glavni odbor je pred dvema mesecema sklenil, da se z ozirom na vojne razmere finančno podpiranje športnih aktivnosti začasno opusti. Da je ravnal v duhu časa, dokazuje na svoj način dejstvo, da sta do sedaj, kolikor je znano, že dve državi preklicali prireditev običajnih letnih državnih razstav. Ti dve državi sta Ohio in New York. V mirnem času je razstava lepa, zabavna in poučna r«fi, v vojnem času pa je treba hraniti denar in energijo za druge, važnejše probleme.

George McNear, predsednik Toledo, Peoria & Western železnice, je pred par tedni poslal predsedniku Rooseveltu pet tisoč beaed vsebujočo brzojavko “collect,” to je, da Je moral prejemnik plačati pristojbino od nje. Dan pozneje pa je predsednik Roosevelt zaplenil vseh 239 milj omenjene železnice za strica Sama. S predsednikom Zedinjenih držav se ni šaliti.

Ruski znanstveniki so iz tisočletnih lednih skladov v Sibiriji izkopali deset popolnoma pre-zerviranih konjev, osedlanih in obrzdanih. Po mnenju učenjakov so tisti konji stari najmanj deset tisoč let. Morda bi se izplačalo kupiti tiste sibirske konje, da jih bomo rabili, kadar bodo naši avtomobili mobilizirani za vojno.

Preteklo jesen, ko je Hitler prevzel vrhovno komando na ruski fronti, so zboleli vsi vodilni nemški generali in so odšli v bolnišnice ali zavetišča. Pred par tedni pa so se na Hitlerjev ukaz spet vsi zdravi vrnili na fronto. Čudovit zdravnik, ta Hiter!

Mnoge matere pošiljajo svojim sinovom, ki se vežbajo v vojaških taboriščih, zavitke domačega peciva. Eugene Sanders, ti služi v taborišču Fort Bragg, North Carolina, pa je ta proces obrnil in je poslal svoji materi v Huntington, Ind., zavoj peciva svojega lastnega izdelka.

Iz Londona poročajo, da naciji v zasedeni Belgiji in Franciji spravljajo med prebivalstvo v promet ponare jene ameriške bankovce. To je seveda grda lumpanija, toda dejstvo, da je to mogoče, zgovorno dokazuje, kakšen kredit ima v zasedenih deželah nemški denar.

1941 — Illinois Fraternal Benefit Societies
VALUATION REPORT
Made by American Fraternal Union as of December 31, 1941, to the Department of Insurance of the State of Illinois.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE FILING OUT THIS REPORT NOTE CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. This report must be filed on or before the 1st day of March, 1942.
2. Each item in the blank should be carefully filled« out, in accordance with
the information required.
3. The Valuation Exhibit must give in separate items for each form of certi-
ficate the present mid-year value of future net contributions as contingent assets, and the present mid-year value of promised benefits as contingent liabilities, or in lieu thereof of the mid-year net value of such certificates. Societies which use the mean of terminal reserves in valuing their certificates must include as advance payments in item 11,
*	page 5 of annual statement, the pro rata unearned portions of all pay-
ments covering insurance protection beyond December 31 of current year.
4. All death losses of whatever nature must be included in accrued liabilities in
the Valuation Exhibit.
5. The present value of future extra payments should be included as a part of
the contingent assets only in the event that the society has by its authorized governing board or body actually provided for the specific levy ) of a fixed number or amount of extra or additional future payments.
6. If the laws of the society provide for segregation of the funds between the'
various classes of members, separate Valuation Exhibits should be made j for each such class in addition to a combined Valuation Exhibit, so as to define more definitely the status of the members in each class. It is not necessary to make complete separate Valuation Reports. The combined Report should, of course, be complete.
7. Loans and interest thereon which are secured by tabular reserves or accumu- j
lations actually maintained on the corresponding individual certificates I should be treated as a part of the assets.
Liens and interest thereon not in excess of the difference between the present value pf the promised benefits and the present value of the future net contributions on the corresponding individual certificates, should be treated In the Valuation Exhibit as a deduction from the contingent \ liabilities. This is on the assumption that the liens provide for the pay- j ment of interest annually or for compound interest at a rate at least as high as that assumed in the valuation of the certificate liabilities. In the case of liens which do not bear interest or which bear interest at a rate less than that assumed in the valuation of the certificate liabilities, j they should not be entered at their full face amounts, but should be entered only uAhe amounts of their actuarial equivalents, i. e., the single ; premiums at current attained ages which would provide for insurance equal in amount to the liens and interest thereon where such single premiums are calculated on the same mortality and interest assumptions as used in the valuation of the certificate liabilities.
In lieu of following the plan outlined above, a society may show the reserve liability for an amount of Insurance equal to the face amount, less the insurance purchased by the accumulated lien as a single premium at the curreift attained age. In this connection the rate of interest provided for in the liens must be taken into consideration. E. g.: If the lien does not bear interest, the reserve liability may be calculated on the net amount of insurance after deducting the amount of the lien.
8. The Valuation Exhibit is made up on the basis of excluding the expense,
sick and accident (when the benefits, are not valued) and special funds (i. e., funds other than general ^r expense funds not available for the payment of benefits) from the Asset side and excluding the liabilities of such funds from the Liability side, except that the excess of the matured liabilities of such funds over the balances in them, if any, should be included as a part of the liabilities of the mortuary or benefit funds for valuation purposes only.
If the sjck and accident benefits a,re valued, both the assets and liabilities of * the sick and accident fund should fee included in the Valuation Exhibit. Borrowed money should’ ■ be texcluded from both the assets and the liabilities.

!3. A synopsis of the forms of certificates and the formulas employed for1 valuing the benefits and contributions under each form, together with , the amount of insurance in force, must be given by the actuary or accountant with answers to the following questions:
!4. State the method of valuation used (whether level net premium, full preliminary term, straight modified preliminary term, Illinois Standard, etc.).1 Answer: See Schedule A.
Has the Society during the past five years for any class of certificates j changed its valuation procedure or formulas so as to affect its solvency j percentage? No. If so, explain fully: —
Did the Society exclude from the valuation required in Schedule A any suspended certificate where the member under the by-laws was eligible for reinstatement without evidence of insurability? Answer: No.
25. State the Mortality and Interest Assumptions employed in the Valuation.
Answer: (Use schedule A on next page.)
26. (a) Have the negative reserves on individual certificates been eliminated
from the Valuation Exhibit? Answer: Yes.
(b). What is the total amount of negative reserves on individual certificates? Answer: $—None.
The term, “Negative Reserve,” refers to the excess of the present value of the future net contributions over the present value of the promised benefits.
(c). Does the society charge redundant net rates of contribution, i. e., net rates in excess of the tabular net rates (on the basis of the mortality table and interest assumptions used in the valuation)? Answer: No.
(d). If so, s'tate the amount of the present value of such excess contributions, and also state the intended purpose thereof. Answer: $—None.
(e). If a society, which uses tabular values in,making its valuation, charges net rates of contribution lower than the tabular net rates (on the basis of the mortality table and interest assumptions used in the valuation), it must set up an additional reserve to cover the deficiency in such rates calculated on a basis not less than one providing for the accumulation as
* a pure endowment under a level net annual rate of contribution of a sum at the end of not more than 20 years from the issue of each certificate equal to the present value at that time of the difference between the net rate charged under each certificate and the tabular net rate of contribution used in the valuation of the same certificate.
(f). Has the requirement of item 26 (e) been complied with? Answer: Yes. If so, on what basis was the deficiency reserve calculated? Answer: None.
(g). State the amount of such deficiency reserve, if any. Answer: $—None.
(h). The reserves on individual certificates should be at least equal to the values of the non-forfeiture options available. Has this requirement been complied with? Answer:
17. In the determination of the ratio per cent of assets to liabilities, according to the method of valuation prescribed, there must be eliminated the funds not available for the payment of future claims under contracts of insurance and the "non-admitted assets” other than certificate liens, loans and interest thereon; provided that the total of such indebtedness on any certificate included in the Valuation Exhibit shall not be greater than the excess of the present valus of the promised benefits over the present value of the fdture net contributions under said certificates, as shown by the method of valuation assumed by the society.
Have the above requirements been complied with? Answer: Yes.

year.
(c)	4,656.04,	qx_|_n	times	death losses incurred during the current
year, less reserve liens and interest thereon.
(d) $334,905.07, Sum of items (a), (b) and (c), above. Divide item (d) by
two to obtain:
(ei $167,452.54, Expected gross death. loss.es during the current year.
(f) The above calculations were made on basis of American Experience and’N. F. C. table of mortality.
(g) The insurance in force and death losses tabulated according to attained ages may be taken from Schedule VI, page 6, of the annual statements for the previous and current years. The insurance in force and death losses in Schedule VI should be reported according to the attained ages on the anniversaries of the certificates during the current year. For example: The insurance in force and death
losses as of December 31, 1941, should be reported according to the attained ages on the anniversaries of the certificates during the ■ year 1941.
(h) The qx_4_n to be used in any particular instance is the probability of dying or death rate, on the basis of the mortality table used in the valuation, at the attained age shown In Schedule VI opposite the amount of insurance or death losses by which it is to be multiplied.
(i) Item (a), above, is the sum of the products of the q for each attained age multiplied by the amount of insurance in force at each such age on December 31 of the previous year.
(j) Item fb), above, is similarly calculated on the basis of the insurance in force on December 31 of the current year.
(k) Item (c), above, is the sum of the products of the q for each attained j	age multiplied by the amount of death losses incurred at each such
age during the current year, a) The sum of items (a), (b) and (c), above,‘divided by two gives the approximate amount of the expected mortality on the gross amount at risk.
90. Expected Mortality on Net Amount at Risk.
Societies whose percentages of valuation solvency are 100% or better have the option of calculating the expected mortality on the net instead of the gross amount at risk. Such societies may also calculate the interest required to maintain reserve and the gains and losses from interest in accordance with the methods outlined in the printed report of the Sub-commmittee 011 Fraternal Blanks to the Committee on Blanks of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners Re: Adoption of a -y Gain and Loss Exhibit for Fraternal Societies, dated May 17, 1920. Societies which avail themselves of the above options must attach an outline of their calculations which conform to the methods in the Subcommittee’s report referred to above.
81. Instructions for Obtaining Investment Expenses of Benefit funds paid During the Year.
On page 3 of the current year’s annual statement take the sum of (items' 35 (other than legal expenses included in insurance expenses), 37 and all items in lines 39 to 43, inclusive, applying exclusively to invVt-ment expenses. To the foregoing sum add unallocated expenses which may properly be considered as investment expenses (but not in excess of % of 1 per cent of mean ledger assets) and deduct any income items which may properly be considered as an offset to investment expenses. The investment expenses of general or expense funds should be excluded in the above calculations. Attach exhibit.

DOPISI
Imperial, Pa. — Letos preteče štirideset let od ustanovitve našega društva Sv. Jožefa, št. 29 ABZ, in članstvo je sklenilo, da v proslavo te 40-letnice priredimo plesno veselico v soboto 16. maja. Na to veselico so že • zdaj vabljena vsa sosedna bratska društva, kakor tudi ostalo slovensko občinstvo tega okrožja. Za ples bo igrala priznano fina godba Jos. Kramarja iz Brovvnsvilla. Pripravljalni odbor bo poskrbel za dobro postrežbo. Začetek veselice je določen za 8. uro zvečer. Vstopnino bomo plačali vsi člani in članice enako pri društvenem asesmentu, ki bo razpisan za mesec junij. Izvzeti od plačila te vstopnine bodo le člani-vojaki, katerih zdaj že 12 služi v vojnih silah strica Sama. Toliko jih je v vojaški službi samo od našega društva. Upamo, da se vsi zdravi spet vrnejo med nas, ko bo zmagala Amerika in z njo demokracija.
Štiridesetletnica predstavlja važen jubilej društva, zato naj bi se veselice v proslavo iste udeležili vsi člani in članice, katerim bo le mogoče. Z dohodki veselice upamo tudi nekoliko podkrepiti našo društveno blagajno. Tudi blagajna predstavlja važen del društva, ker nihče ne ve, kaj nam prinese bodočnost. Torej,, člani Jn članice, rezervirajte si večer 16. maja za poset naše veselice in nagovorite vaše prijatelje, da pridejo z vami.
Za lepšo proslavo 40-letnict je priporočljivo tudi, d$ pridobimo nekaj novih članov v odrasli ali mladinski oddelek. Posebno bi morali skrbeti, da vsi člani prestopijo iz mladinskega oddelka v odrasli oddelek, kadar dosežejo predpisano starost. Letos imamo tudi kampanjo za mladinski oddelek in glavni od-,fcor je zvišal običajne nagrade za 50 centov za vsakega novega mladinskega člana. Običajne nagrade so itak stalno priobčeva-ne v Novi Dobi; onih 50 centov je samo dodatek k običajnim nagradam. Otroci se lahko zavarujejo tudi v dvajsetletnem zavarovanju za vsote 250, 500 in 1000 dolarjev. Letos koncem aprila bo prejel vsak član mladinskega oddelka iz glavnega urada dividendo 50 centov v obliki obrambno varčevalnih znamk. Starši, ki imajo otroke pri našem društvu, naj gotovo pridejo na sejo meseca maja, da jim izročim znamke za otroke. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 29 ABZ:
John Virant, tajnik.
Milwaukee, H /s. — Tem potom naznanjam vsem članom društva Združeni Slovani, št, 225 ABZ, posebno pa še onim, ki niso bili na zadnji seji, da je bilo sklenjeno spremeniti čas oziroma datum društvenih sej. V bodoče se bodo naše seje vršile vsako TRETJO SREDO v mesecu, in se bodo pričenjale ob pol osmih (7.30) zvečer. Vršile se bodo v tistih prostorih kot ddsedaj. Prihodnja seja se bo vršila v sred« 15. aprila.
Čas sej smo premenili iz vzroka,- ker mora naš društveni predsednik delati vsako nedeljo in ker pričakujemo večjo udeležbo, ko se bodo seje vršile zvečer. Torej, pridite vsi in vse na prihodnjo sejo v sredo 15, aprila ob pol osmih zvečer v navadne prostore. Člane, ki so na bolniški listi, opozarjam, naj prinesejo svoje bolniške nakaznice na sejo 15. aprila; naj ne čakajo na tretjo nedeljo, ker ta mesec se bo seja prej vršila.
Prihodnja seja 15. aprila bo važna in pomembna tudi vsled tega, ker bosta dvema našima članoma izročena časčna znaka Ameriške bratske zveze. Omenjena sta člana naše organizacije 40 let ali več, in sta zato deležna častnih znakov od Zve-I	(Dalje na 7. str.)

Predsednikova želja je bila brzojavno sporočena newyorskemu governerju Lehmanu, od tega pa državnemu ribarskemu depart-mentu, in v teku ene ure so bile sveže ribe že na poti v Washington. Včasih le prav pride, če je človek predsednik.

V mestu Bisbee, Arizona, je bila neka Mrs. Pylant poškodovana v avtomobilski koliziji, in je bila prijetno iznenadena, ker je bil zdravnik takoj pri rokah in jo hitel obvezovati. Čudno pa se ji je zdelo, ker je imel doktor pri svojem humanitarnem delu toliko pozornih gledalcev, in še bolj se je čudila, ker je zdravnik glasno in razločno opisoval ves potek prve pomoči. Pozneje se je izkazalo, da je dotični zdravnik nekje v bližini kraja kolizije poučeval skupino kandidatov za organizacijo civilne obrambe o prvi pomoči ranjencem in mu je avtomobilska nesreča nudila sijajno priliko, da je svoj teoretični pouk podprl s prakso. To potrjuje prislovico, da ni nesreče brez sreče.

O	perfektnosti nacijske organizacije kroži sledeča anekdota r-
Z ruske fronte se je vrnil v Berlin lahko ranjeni nemški vojak in se je podal v vojaško bolnišnico. Tja prišedši je našel dvojna vrata. Na enih je bil napis “Za oficirje,” na drugih pa “Za vojake.” Vstopil je skozi vrata za navadne vojake. Tam je spet našel dvojna vrata z napisoma: “Za težko ranjene” in “Za lahko ranjene.” Vstopil je skozi vrata z& lahko ranjene. Tam je našel nadaljna dvojna vrata; na enih je bil napis “Za člane nacijske stranke,” na drugih pa “Za nečlane.” Stopil je skozi vrata za nečlane in se je :;našel na cesti.

V Coffeyvillu, Kansas, živi nekaj Indijancev iz rodu Osage in med njimi je družina, ki je zelo letalsko navdahnjena. Gospodar wigwama se namreč imenuje Junaški Orel, njegov sin Bojeviti Ptič, vnuk pa Štirimotorni Bombnik.

Vse do nedavnega časa, ko so ;:ačeli Rusi pošteno briti nemške nacije, so nam ameriški humoristi predstavljali Ruse kot kosmatince, katerih obrazi ne poznajo britev. Pa se je ost tega norčevanja obrnila, ker znamenja kažejo, da bomo kmalu tudi Američani paradirali po svetu s kozlovsko dolgimi bradami in košatimi mustačami. Vzrok ?

Tekom ameriške državljanske; vojne so takratni prohibicijoni-sti pri predsedbiku Lincolnu tožili nekega generala unijske armade, češ, da je pijanec, ki se vsak dan naliva z whiskyemJ Dotični general pa je bil izmed; vseh unijskih poveljnikov na bojiščih najbolj uspešen, zato je Lincoln mirno vprašal tožitelje, J če vedo, kakšne vrste whisky! pije dotični pijani general. Ko, so tožitelji začudeni vprašali,! kakšen pomen naj bi imela vrsta whiskya, ' češ, whisky je pač whisky, in kdor ga pije je pijanec in grešnik, se je Lincoln nasmehnil in dejal: “Če bi vedel, kakšen whisky pije toženi general, ki je tako uspešen na boji- J šču, bi tudi drugijn unijskim generalom poslal par sodov do-tične vrste whi^Jcya.”

ovi certifikati z<* naso mladino
Na drugem mestu današnje izdaje je priobčen dodatek k točki 8 mladinskih pravil A IiZ, katerega je glavni odbor odobril ob priliki polletne seje dne 11. avgusta 1941.
Na podlagi navedenega dodatka je glavni urad pooblaščen izdajati tudi mladinskim članom 20-letne ustanovne certifikate (20-gear endowment certificates), in sicer v vsotah $250.00, $500.00 in $1000.00. Asesmenti za nove certifikate so vključeni v dodatku k pravilom.
Novi certifikati so kombinacija varčevanja in zavarovalnine; pogoji so koristni za starše in otroke. Ako starše zadene nesreča, da jim otrok umrje, prejmejo zavarovalnino, ako otrok preživi člansko dobo dvajsetih let, prejme, kar so mu starši prihranili.
Novi mladinski certifikati imajo iste vrste neizgubljive vrednosti kot 20-iet ustanovni certifikati oddelka odraslih članov,
•
namreč: vrednost certifikata v gotovini ali posojilu, (cash or loan value), delno v polnem plačano zavarovalnino (paid-up insurance) in pravico do podaljšane zavarovalnine (extended insurance).
Da bodo starši, ki se zanin\pjo za te nove certifikate, stvar bolje razumeli, naj navedem primero za otroka, ki je star eno leto in katerega starši zavarujejo za $1000.00. Skupni mesečni ašesment znaša $3.36. Ko je otrok plačal asesmente polnih 20 let, prejme vseh $1000.00 v gotovini. Ako bi ne hotel vzeti vseh $1000.00 v gotovini, tedaj bi lahko vzel $669.00 v gotovini in popolnoma plačan certifikat za $1000.00, katera vsota bi se plačala po njegovi smrti; če bi se p(} tudi te pravice ne hotel poslužiti, tedaj bi mu dali popolnoma plačan ccrtifikat za $3,022.00, katera vsota bi se izplačala po njegovi smrti. Vzemimo za primer, da bi starši otroka po preteku dveh let ne mogli ali ne hoteli več plačevali otrokovih asesmentov: V tein slučaju bi certifikat lahko vnovčili za $49£3 ali pa zahtevali posojilo v isti vsoti, kar bi jim omogočilo /la bi asesmente še nadalje plačevali, če bi pa tega ne hoteli,storili, potem bi se zavarovalnina avtomatično podaljšala za 8 let in 282 dni, in, ako bi otrok med tem časom umrl, bi starši prejeli vseh $1000.00 zavarovalnine in to brez vsakega odbitka. Ako bi starši po preteku petih let iz enega ali drugega vzroka prenehali plačevali asesmente, tedaj bi certifikat lahko vnovčili za $165.12, ali pa vzeli posojilo v isti vsoti, in če bi se te pravice ne poslužili, tedaj bi se certifikat na podlagi nabrane rezerve podaljšal za 15 let in ob koncu 20. leta bi otrok prejel še $142.00 v gotovini. Ako bi starši po preteku 10 let prenehali plačevati asesmente, tedaj bi certifikat lahko vnovčili za $387.82, ali vzeli posojilo v isti vsoti, in če bi lega ne storili, potem bi se certifikat avtomatično podaljšal za 10 let in ob koncu 20. leta bi otrok prejel še $497.00 v gotovini. Ako bi slarši po preteku 15 tel prenehali plačevati asesmente, tedaj bi certifikat lahko vnovčili za $667.46, ali vzeli posojilo v isti vsoti, in če bi tega ne st-orilj, tedaj bi se certifikat avtomatično podaljšal za 5 let in ob koncu 20. leta bi otrok prejel še $769.00 v gotovini.
Gornja primera velja za certifikat v vsoti $1000.00. Ako se certifikat glasi na $250.00 ali $500.00, potem se posojilna vrednost ali vrednost v gotovini ptoporcijelno zniža, doba podaljšane zavarovalnine je pa v vseh treh slučajih enaka.
Zdravniško preiskavo otrok, katere bodo'slarši želeli zavarovali pod gornjim načrtom. Me bo zahtevalo samo v državi Ohio; v državi Colorado se bo pa zdravniško preiskavo zahtevalo samo od listih otrok, katei* bodo starši želeli zavarovati za $1000.00.
V	državah New York, Mar gland, West Virginia in Idaho st teh certifikatov ne bo izdajalo, v državah Indiana in Montana sc jih bo izdajalo samo za $250.00 in $500.00.	^
Za te certifikate je bito v preteklosti mnogo povpraševanj in z marsikatere strani se je glavnemu odboru priporočalo, da jih i pelje. Ponavljam, da so novi certifikati kombinacija varčevanja in zavarovalnine, kajti asesmenti za vseh 20 let znašajo komaj m kaj nail $800.00, d očim prejme otrok celih $1000.00, ko poteče 20 let. Zraven tega je bil pa tudi ves čas zavarovan.
Naj še omenim, da bo vsak otrok, ki je zavarovan pod gor-njim načrtom, lahko pristopil v odrasli oddelek, ko bo dopolnil 16. leto, ne da bi mu bilo treba spreminjati certifikata, in da bo v odraslem oddelku plačeval le toliko več, kolikor bodo znašali usesmenti za bolniško podporo in odškodnine ter za dobrodelno podporo.

I da bodo te tovarne umetnega gumija v polnem obratu šele j prihodnje leto. Do takrat bodo j obstoječe zaloge gumija že moč- ^ noizčrpa^ie, kljub vsemu varčevanju.
VAŽNOST RUSIJE *
Joseph E. Davies, bivši ameriški poslanik v Moskvi, je v svojem nedavnem govoru v New j Yorku poudarjal, da je kar naj-! večja ameriška materialna po-| moč Rusiji velikanskega pomena. Po njegovem mnenju se bo v prihodnjih šestih mesecih odločilo, če bo sedanja vojna tra-; jala 40 mesecev ali 40 let. “Gor- j je nam, če bi bila ruska armada, uničena,” je zaključil.

PRINC V UJETNIŠTVU
V vojnem ujetništvu v Canadi je med drugimi iz Anglije poslanimi ujetniki tudi princ Louis Ferdinand, vnuk bivšega nemškega cesarja Viljema. Pred časom je bilo poročano, da name-j rava Hitler princa Louisa Fer-j dinanda postaviti za cesarja podjarmljeni Rusiji. Pa se zdi, da se je ta načrt pokazil.
ZA POMOČ ČETNIKOM
V Washington je pretekli teden dospela jugoslovanska vojaška misija pod vodstvom polkovnika Dragutina Saviča z namenom izposlovati “lease-lend” pomoč jugoslovanskim četnikom, ki kontrolirajo četrtino Jugoslavije in povzročajo silne preglavice nemškim in italijanskim okupacijskim četam. Materialna pomoč, ki jo potrebujejo četniki, naj bi se jim pošiljala potom velikih transportnih letal. Polkovnik Savič je poveljnik jugoslovanskih letalcev v Afriki.
 i
SAMO ZA PRIJATELJE
Vlada v Washingtonu je dala republiki Argentini na lep način
razumeti, da jej za enkrat no more dati niti orožja niti finančne pomoči, ker mora vojaško in gospodarsko podpirati tiste latinske republike, ki soj Nemčiji, Italiji in Japonski na-j povedale vojno ali pa so vsaj pretrgale diplomatske zveze z njimi. Teh republik, ki so se od-| ločno postavile na stran Zedi- j njenih držav, je 18. Samo re-j publiki Argentina in Chile še vzdržujeta diplomatske zveze z državami osišča. Posledica je, da so odnošaji Zedinjenih držav napram omenjenima republikama sicer korektni, tbda hladni.
JAPONSKA IN VATIKAN
Papež v Rimu je privolil v u-postavitev diplomatskih zvez med Vatikanom in Japonsko, kljub izrazom nevolje v Washingtonu in Londonu. Za prvega japonskega poslanika pri papežu je bil imenovan-Keri Harada, za prvega papeževega poslanika na Japonskem pa nadškof Paolo Marella.
LETALSKA VOJNA
Z nastopom pomladnega vremena so si začeli izmenjavati pogoste posete angleški in nemški bombniki. Angleži noč za nočjo bombardirajo nemške industrijske in pristaniške kraje in nemški letalci napadajo Anglijo. Nemški in ' italijanski letalski napadi na angleški otok Malto v Sredozemskem morju so tudi skoro na dnevnem redu, toda skalnati otok Malta se zdi nepremagljiv.
, z Pruske fronte
Nemška pomladanska ofenziva se bo pričela ali se je že pričela na ruski fronti. Dasi divjajo boji na vsej razsežni fronti, se zdi, da so Nemci posebno vzeli na piko Krim, odkoder u-pajo. priti na Kavkaz in do bogatih ruskih oljnih vrelcev, in pa obalne kraje na severu, kjer skušajo preprečiti dostavljanje ameriške in angleške pomoči v Murmansk in Arhangelsk. Zdi se, da ameriški in angleški vojni material prihaja v vedno več-

NEKAJ O AVSTRALIJI
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
Evropi in je nudila boljše pogoje za priseljence. Na kraju, kjer je zdaj veliko in moderno mesto Sydney, je britiška vlada leta 1788 ustanovila svojo kazensko kolonijo.
V	Avstraliji uspevajo vse iz Evrope in Amerike vpeljane domače živali in rastline. Ovčjereja, živinoreja in mlekarstvo so na visoki stopinji. Dežela ek-sportira volno, zmrznjeno meso, kože, mnogo vrst žita, bombaž, j sladkor, južno sadje, vino, mleč-| ne izdelke, premog, svinec, zlato, srebro, les, krmo itd. Tudi I industrija je z ozirom na števi-
lo	prebivalstva dobro razvita.
Znanstveniki smatrajo Avstralijo za najstarejšo kopnino, zato so se tam ohranile nekatere rastline in živali, kakršnih ni bilo prej najti v nobenem drugem delu sveta. Med najbolj tipične avstralske živali spadajo kenguruji, ki jih vidimo pri na3 le v zooloških vrtovih. Druga čudna avstralska žival je plati-pus ali duck-bill, ki je pokrita z dlako, ima kljun kot raca, leže jajca in doji izvaljene mladiče. Druge čudne živali so netopirji, ki se hranijo s sadjem, leteče miši, vsakovrstne papige itd. Kač in drugih reptilov so v Avstraliji našteli nad 140 različnih vrst.
Taka je približna slika Avstralije, kjer se zbirajo avstral-; ske in ameriške vojne sile, da

Little S*an
£rent to Draw Happy Throngs
By Little Stan
Barberton, 0. — The 8th annual Na- j tional AFU tourna- ' ment being:	pro-1
moted and conducted by lodge 44, for three days beginning next Friday will draw a colorful'crowd of bowlers and fans from at least four states. This was indicated in a preliminary study following receipt of bowling entries over the week-end. The survey revealed that approximately 35 teams will participate. Cleveland heads the list with about 15 teams. Bowling will take place in the new Slovene Center alleys.
Elaborate preparations have been nearly completed by Barberton committees, and everyone, including bowlers and visiting guests, are guaranteed an excellent time. Bowling will officially begin Friday when Barberton teams—expected eight or ten in all—will roll off. Out-of- town teams are expected to come in beginning Saturday. They’ll take over Saturday afternoon, evening, and all day long on Sunday.
For added entertainment, Tony Malavasic’s Blue Jackets of Cleveland will feature music for the tournament ball in the Slovene National Home right next to Slovene Center alleys where the .event will be held.
Sunday evening at 6 p. m., the grand tournament banquet will be held. Here prizes will be awarded. It is hoped that all teams and bowlers will cooperate so that the" schedule of bowling will be completed before 6 p. m.
A short session of the Ohio Federation will take place Sunday morning at 9 a. m. in the Slovene National Home.
Preparations have been completed also to house all bowlers who plan to stay over the entire week-end. The housing committee has plans all completed and need only reservations from bowlers.
Bowlers are requested to be on hand promptly so as not to slow up a schedule that will make every minute courtt. The schedule will be printed in next week’s edition of Nova Doba.
Clevelanders planning bus reservations should make same at East 152nd Recreation not later than Friday night of this week. It is'th.oped that two buses can be chartered; one to leave East 152nd street alleys at 5 p. m. Saturday, April 18th; the other to leave at 8 p. m., same day.
Sincere cooperation of everyone is requested.
Spending Easter with the Opeka’s in Barberton over the week-end, the* Little Stan’s caught the “inside” of an excellent time being prepared for bowlers and guests.
A highlight of the Sunday visit; including a preliminary round-up of tournament plans was the presentation: “Vdovo Rošlinko” as played by excellent actors of the Slovene Dramatic Society of Barberton. A review of the play will appear in a forthcoming issue. Thanks again to Barberton for a swell time. Space prevents a more vivid description at this time. Another highlight that must be mentioned was the meeting of Little Stan and papular juve-

LODGE 225 CHANGES MEETING DATE
Will Honor Veterans April 15
Milwaukee, Wis. — Members! of Lodge 225, AFU, especially those who did not attend the last meeting are hereby notified that the date of our regular lodge meetings has been changed. In the future our meetings will be held every THIRD WEDNESDAY of each month at 7:30 p. m., in the same quarters. Our next meeting is scheduled April 15th at 7:30 p. m.
The meeting time was changed because our lodge president has to work every Sunday, and it was thought that a better attendance will be realized if we conduct our meetings during the evening. Therefore, you are all urged to attend the next meeting Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30 p. m„ in regular quarters. Those members who are on the sick-list are reminded to bring their sick benefit claims to the April 15th meeting. They should not wait until the third Sunday as this month, and from now on, our meetings will be held earlier.
Next meeting—April 15th— is extremely important and it is your duty to attend and participate in the rites in connection with the awarding of honorary emblems to two of our members who have been in the American Fraternal Union for 40 years or more. It is fitting that all our members attend this meeting and participate in giving recognition to tliese i members for their long tenures as members of our society.
I urge our Brother lodge, 82 AFU., of Sheboygan, Wis., to j become members of the Illinois,] Indiana, and Wisconsin Federation of AFU lodges. Important matters are discussed and transacted at Federation sessions and that is why I hope that when the next meeting of the Federation is held, Lodge 82 of
Sheboygan, Wis., will also be represented.
Two of our young members are now in the armed forces of the United States. They are Milan Peich and Edward Krizan. Name of the first is better recognized by our many AFU members, as he was a delegate to two juvenile conventions, and was one of the most hardworking young members of our lodge. He is Milan Peich. Now a member of the adult department he has already served with the United States Marines for two years, and has attained' the rank of quartermaster with the unit.
Recently he telephoned to his dad, Joseph Peich, who is also a good member of our lodge. His message was that he had two weeks leave, but it was too far to take time to visit his home in Milwaukee. Because of this situation he asked his dad to come to San Francisco where he would spend his two week furlough, and where they could also get together. This Milan’s dad did and father and son spent enjoyable days together.
The entire Peich family — four in all — are members of the American Fraternal Union, and they are all good members of Lodge 225.
Marine Milan is now 20 years old, has already served two years with the Marines, spending most of his time in Hawaii. Thus far, he thinks highly of. his service to his country^
All of^ us who know Milan Peich wish him the best of luck and happiness during his service with his country.
With fraternal regards, and don’t forget to attend {he next meeting April 15th. For Lodge 225, AFU:
Pauline Vogrich, secretary.

Jerry Krashovetz, Lodge 162 Veteran
To Be Honored
Enumclaw, Wash. — Notification was received this week from the Supreme Office of AFU, that Jerry Krashovetz, a pioneer member of Lodge 162, is qualified for the special veteran’s award.
At the annual meeting of the AFU supreme board held in February, a resolution was adopted which provided that a special honor for many years of loyal service to our Union be conferred on pioneer members of 40 years or more standing. Members within the 40-year category will be presented with enhanced veterans’ emblems.
Presentation of the emblem to Bro. Krashovetz will take place at our next meeting, Monday, April 20. In order to perfect plans to duly commemorate the occasion, lodge officers of 162 held a special meeting at the home of Mrs. Mihelich where details for festive celebration were whipped into shape.
Every member is urged to attend the meeting. An excellent program has been arranged and no one can afford to miss it.
I hope, fellow members, you won’t overlook the importance Of this occasion. Bro. Jerry is one of the oldest rrtemberii and his record of achievement^ down through the years can well be a shining example for all of us. It was through his efforts that a Denver AFU lodge was organized many years ago. He was also a co-organizer of Lodge 162 and many of the present membership were enrolled by him.

Short' little notes gathered together on a spindle on the editor’s desk invariably make interesting news. We’ll give you a few that have accumulated during the past several days.
Of interest to all bowlers is news that entries have already been received^' for the ten-pin tournament in Barberton from a mens’ and ladies’ team of Indianapolis, Ind.; two men’s and one women’s from Claridge, Pa.; two women’s and at least three men’s teams from Betsy Ross, and present indications at this writing show that several teams from Lorain and Chicago have signified intentions to participate in the event. All told, a rough estimate shows that about five Cleveland lodges will enter approximately 15 teams if not more. A lone entry from Go-wanda, N. Y. was Joseph Krall of Pathfinders lodge 222, AFU. He has entered in the singles event.

Military postcard greetings were sent to the editorial staff of Nova Doba by Pfc. Rudolph Hudale, son of Martin Hudale of Wilmerding, Pa. Pfc. Hudale informed he is now stationed with the Headquarters Detachment, 3rd Battalion, 176th at Fort Meyer, Virginia. The Hudale family is very popular among AFU circles. A brother Edward was chairman of the first Juvenile Convention of our Union held at the Home Office at Ely, Minn., in 1935.

Private Milan J. Ulyan of Lodge 173, AFU., Cleveland, O., stationed with Co. C 108 Infantry at San Francisco, Cal., lettered his interest concerning progress of the AFU bowling league. Busy in army routine he declared he had lost track of home activities. “Nothing stops the Army,” he said. “They just keep going.”

Jurij Prevec, secretary of Lodge 116, of White Valley, Pa., informed that Uncle Sam had picked off their Postmaster, William Galicic, after he had served in this capacity for three years. Another member from that lodge inducted into the army with Bro. Galicic was Frank Bole, also from White Valley. This lodge now has seven of its members serving the armed forces of our country.

From Milwaukee, Wis., Mrs. Pauline Vogrich, hard-working secretary of popular lodge 225, AFU., informed us that Milan Peich, a veteran delegate to two Juvenile conventions has already been with Uncle Sai Fighting Marines for two whole years. Private Milan Peich is now stationed in Hawaii. His dad, Joseph Peich recently met him in San Francisco during a short two-week furlough. Another member from the same lodge who has entered the U.

Split With Waukegan
Maryton’s Near Title
Chicago, 111. — Giving no indication of letting down, the top-notch Maryton Cafe again won a sweeping three-game victory at the expense of .the for-1 mer league leaders, Zefran’s j Morticians. With this win, j Maryton’s almost clinched first place in Chicago’s AFU league. Captain Lou Dolmovich rolled ; a 182 to clinch the night-cap and had total series of 504. Maxie Bruekmann and Louis Zefran got 180 and 181 games in their share for the triple victory.
Captain Joe ,Tabor rolled a fine 507 series including a 195 game, but couldn’t push his team up high enough to win a game.
Meanwhile the third-place Wencel Dairy team was defeated twice by Gottlieb’s Florists who are still pressing for the top position. Florists still maintain a mathematical chance of getting there. But watch those Marytons!
Tony Kovacic, ace of the Floi’-ist team, surely had the pins flying with his 205 single game and a 551 series total. Best that Captain Chester Harey could do was a 186 high game. Frankie Kovacic of the Milkmen, started with a bang, cutting the pins down with a 189 game but his ball must have gotten dull in the last two games as he ended up with a 488 series. Captain Joe Fajfar, Dairy pilot got a 160 which was his best for the evening. Watch for the champions next Friday night. May the best team win!
March 29th, Chicago AFU sent two bowling teams to Waukegan to participate in an intercity lodge match game. Each city split, winning three games apiece. Bowling started at 2 p. m.; was over about 4:30 p. m. After that, oh boy, what fine Slovenske klobase we had. I guess they were about the best we ever ate. And the beer! It went down like oil, but the result was different.
I want to thank all those in Waukegan who had any part in arranging and helping stage this great sports affair. On May 10, when Waukegan comes to : Chicago, I hope we can return 1 the same kind of good warm : hospitality that Waukegan has shown us. Thanks again, Waukegan!

Col. AFU Federation Meets May 24
Denver, Colo. — AFU lodges of Colorado are hereby notified that the next meeting of the Colorado AFU Federation will be held Sunday, May 24 in the Community Hall at Canon City. The president of Lodge 147, AFU., of Canon City, Col., whose lodge has been requested to sponsor the meeting in their city, has so notified me.
As our Federation meets only once a year it is important that representatives from all lodges who are enrolled in the Colorado Federation attend the meeting May 24, and they are requested to bring along recommendation and reports.
We mustn’t forget that we have a campaign for new J uve-nile members on this year and let us see that the state of Colorado marks up as good a record as they have in past campaigns. The prizes are also very tempting. Which lodge will win the first prize?
The secretary of the federation has already issued the call to lodges, asking them to elect their representatives to. this meeting, May 24. I hope that ! lodges have already done this. There are some AFU lodges in the vicinity who still are not members o>f our Colorado Federation. They are invited to join with us. Fees are only $3.00 for each lodge. Lodge 168, AFU., of Helper, Utah, is also a member of our Col., Federation, but as yet they have not sent a representative to any of our meetings. We all know the lodge is situated a great distance away from us, but Canon City, where our next meeting will be held is much closer to Helper, Utah, and perhaps Lodge 168 may send a representative to this meeting. If not, they are requested to send a report and recommendations to the meeting.
Canon City, Col., is a beautiful and hospitable city. It is hoped that the representation al this meeting of the Federatior will be attended 100 per cent bj all representatives. — For the Colorado Federation of AFL lodges.

She died March 4 while visiting her sons and daughters in California. She had spent the winter with them. Survivors are her husband, Matt Dolenc, three sons, and three daughters.
All three deceased members were active members of our lodge and we shall always bear the pleasant memory of them. To the survivors of the above-named deceased members our lodge extends heartfelt sympathies in their bereavement.
What the fraternal lodge means to the members is especially noticed d/iring times of illness and death, especially if the deceased member does not have any surviving relatives here. It certainly is nice to have the lodge members take the deceased in charge and prepare and carry-out the ceremony in connection with burial rites.
If the people who do not belong to any fraternal lodge would pause and take note of what the lodge does in assisting and participating in such burial rites for deceased members, we woujdn’t have to urge anyone to join the lodge. They would voluntarily become members. It would be their wish to have the lodge give similar attention to them when their lives come to an end.
I would remind members of our lodge that we’ll have to work hard to replace the ranks of our members who have passed away. It would also be well to build up a reserve by enrolling new members.
Members of Lodge 25 are reminded that they all attend the next meeting of the lodge at the regular place and. time, April 26th. Many important matters will be discussed and transacted, especially the presentation of honorary emblems to the pioneer 40-year members of our lodge and AFU. All members are individually invited to attend and participate in this program.
Members are also urged to pay their regular monthly assessments more promptly. Most of the members do pay promptly and if they do, why can’t all be just as prompt. Everyone should keep in mind that suspension is an irritating action, especially when misfortune usually strikes when a member is not insured. Members must also consider that when they are behind in their assessment payments they burden additional work on the secretary. Everyone likes prompt service and that is why they too must be prompt, in return.
For Lodge 25, AFU:
John Laurich, secretary.

apredek Notes
Euclid-Cleveland, O. — Not much to report on our bowling activities this week, as all teams took a spring vacation; that is, we skipped our regular bowling night on Good Friday. However, the league standings speak plainly enough, and it will behoove the Napredek bowlers to hustle from now on right into the finish of the season if they are to get into the better prize awards. From past^ performances one could almost judge who will finish at or near the top. However, I think it’s not too late for some upsets, so, let’s go, Cavaliers and Bums.
It seems all is bustling for the Bowling Tournament in Barberton which will be held Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of next week. Partial entries have been made for Lodge Napredek. We wish, however to extend an invitation to all lodge members who like to bowl and are interested in getting in the national AFU tournament, to contact the writer or lodge secretary, Mr. Tanko, at once. How about some of the ball players of last season, who like to bowl? It is, of course, not necessary that you be a member of our regular teams. Entry fees are $1.50 for each event, that is, Teams, Doubles, and Singles. Incidentally, all Napr edek bowlers who have already en-i tered in one or more events of this tournament are asked to make payment of their fees on Friday night at the bowling alleys to their captains.
One more notice. All lodge members who are interested in taking a trip to the city of Barberton on Sunday, April 19th, as spectators at .the tournament and for a geneml good tirse, are askeS to notify the lodge secretary, or the writer as soon as convenient. Please come to the regular April meeting tomorrow, at which time we can discuss' details and make arrangements. Wo would like^to see a good-sized delegation come from Napredek Lodge to back up our bowlers in the tournament. Our Barberton hosts assure us of a good time, and we know they can provide it. Our last trip in January was quite successful in every way, and makes us look forward to the one \yeek-end. The party for the Sunday trip will leave by chartered bus late Sunday morning, April 19th, from E. 185th I Street, and will return to the came location in the evening.
Therefore, all Napredeks who want to bowl in the tournament, or who woulfl like to taks the pleasure trip to Barberton by chartered bus, contact us, and full details will be given you.
Come to the regular monthly meeting of cur lodge, in the usual place, tomorrow evening.

Lodge 116 Notice
White Valley, Pa. — Members of Lodge 116, AFU., are hereby notified that our next regular meeting will be held Sun-dap, April 19th at 10 a. m. (not at 2 p. m., as regularly). Members decided this at the March meeting when it was learned that a meeting of the Westmoreland Federation of SNPJ was scheduled in the afternoon of the same day. Therefore, members, keep in mind, that our next meeting will take place Sunday, April 19th beginning at 10 a. m.
It was further decided by members at the March meeting that a 50-cent local lodge assessment be levied on each adult .member of the lodge during the months of April and May. Those members insured only for death benefit will pay 25-cents into the lodge treasury each of the .months of April and May. This local lodge assessment will go into the lodge treasury.
At this time, I would like to advise that two of our members were called into the armed forces of United States. They are F^-ank Bole and William Galičič. Bro. Galicic was postmaster at Export, Pa., for the past three years. Enlistment of these two men brings the total number of men from our lodge in the U.iS. armed forces to seven.
My wish to them is that they return to their homes healthy and well after they have chased Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito off the globe. Fraternal regards. For Lodge 116, AFU.
Jurij Previc, secretary.

St. Louis, Mo. — Two months have again passed since an article from Lodge 87, St. Louis, Mo., has appeared in the Nova I Doba. This was because yours! truly had been expecting to have one of the other members who were elected for this pur-! pose to write an article. Theyj were, Mary Beg, Johnnie Grubar, and Mr. Praprotnik. Why haven’t we had the pleasure ox reading one of your articles? Is it because you are too busy? If so, I am sure you can spare a few minutes at this time to write an article and tell us some of the things that made you so busy. In that way we will have1 other articles from St. Louisi besides mine. How’s about it ? j Do you resolve at this moment! to be the next to write an ar-; ticle? Remember, Johnnie, some of the great things you werej going to write about. Well let’s1 hear some of it. It would indeed be a pleasure for me as well as for the other members to have the privilege of reading someone else’s article in the Nova Doba besides mine, wouldn’t it, members ?
As you well know our meetings are now held on the second Friday of each month and I think they aiy better attended. It is indeed sad that our president, Louis Praprotnik, Jr., was not able to attend out meetings of late. This is due to the fact that he is going to school so that he will be eligible to do defense work and thereby help defend our country. Good luck to you, Lou. However, we are looking forward to having hirfi conduct our next meeting. Another one of our loyal members has also been unable to attend our meet-j ings because he is also indulging in defense work ujid thui, is John Grubar. We have other members also doing defense work.
THIS AND THAT: On Mar. 15th, our president became the proud father of a baby boy. CONGRATULATIONS!! LOU and JEAN. He already is a member of the juvenile department. On March 12th, M,r. Louis Speck, Sr., celebrated his birthday. We all wish you many mere happy birthdays. After our last meeting we all toasted Mr. Speck, who by the way is one of the charter members of our lodge.	/
After our next meeting we are all going to drink a toast i to Mr. Paul Komadina, who too
I
i will celebrate his birthday in 1 the near' future. HAPPY j BIRTHDAY to you, Mr. Komadina. We regret that Mr. Golobic is still on the sick list. We do hope that you will soon be up and around. Don’t disappoint us.
Members don’t forget our next meeting date, April 10th. See you all then.

Od i našega društva sta dose-daj clva člana v vojni sili Zedinjenih držav, in sicer Milan Peich in Edward Križan. Prvo imenovani je bolj splošno poznan tako pri našem društvu, kakor tudi drugim planom, ker je bil delegat na dveh mladinskih konvencijah, in sploh eden najdelavnejših članov v našem mladinskem oddelku. Zdaj je član odraslega oddelka in že dve leti služi v ameriški mornarici, kjer se je povzpel že do quarter-mastra. Nedavno je telefoniral svojemu očetu Josephu Peich, ki je tudi dober član našega društva, da bo imel dva tedna dopusta, toda mu je predaleč priti v Milwaukee, torej naj bi oče prišel v San Francisco, kjer se bo tedaj mudila njegova ladja, da se snideta in kaj pogovorita. Oče je takoj zajezdil letalo in odplul v San Francisco, kjer sta s sinom Milanom pre-| živela skupne počitnice. Vsa | Peicheva družina, po številu štiri, je včlanjena v Ameriški brat- j ski zvezi, in vsi co dobri člani. Milan, ki jc rdc.j I:omaj 20 let star, služi že dve leti v ameriški mornarici, večinoma na Ha-“vaju, in dosedaj se je s svojo službo zelo pohvalil. Vsi, ki vrlega fanta poznamo, smo po-; nosni nanj in mu želimo vso srečo v službi zvezdnate zastave, kamor koli ji bo sledil.

Boncarbo, Colo. — Slovenska društva v okrožju mesta Trini-dada, Colorado, so ustanovila postojanko št. 24 Jugoslovanskega pomožnega odbora, slovenska sekcija. Na prvi redni seji, ki se je vršila 29. marca, so bila zastopana društva št. 84, 118 in 233 ABZ, in št. 66, 201 in št. 381 SNPJ. Na tej seji se je sklenilo- pozvati vsa slovenska društva tega okrožja, brez ozira kateri organizaciji pripadajo, da se pridružijo tej pomožni akciji. Gre se za pomoč našim rojakom v starem kraju, ki bodo naše pomoči krvavo potrebovali1, ko bo vojna končana. Nobena katastrofa v zgodovini še ni slovenskega naroda tako grozno prizadela kot sedanja vojna. Kateri bodo to vojno preživeli, bodo na j več ji reveži brez vseh stredstev, bolni, sestradani in izčrpani. In, odkod naj pričakujejo kake pomoči, če ne od nas Slovencev v Ameriki ? Zato je bil organiziran Jugoslovanski pomožni odbor, slovenska sekcija, da zbira prispevke za pomoč tem nesrečnežem, kadar jim bo tako pomoč možno poslati, Vsak, tudi najmanjši prispevek je dobrodošel. Pokažimo, da imamo odprta srca in roke za naše trpeče brate in sestre onstran oceana.
Na prej omenjeni seji je bilo sklenjeno, da se bodo v bodoče seje vršile popoldne, da se bodo istih mogle udeležiti tudi ženske, ki so ob dopoldnevih z gospodinjstvom zaposlene. Prihodnja seja se bo vršila v Trini-dadu, Colo., v nedeljo 19. aprila in se bo pričela ob 2. uri popoldne. Na to sejo naj pridejo za-
stopniki vseh društev, ki so se že prijavila, pa tudi zastopniki drugih društev, ki dosedaj še niso prijavljena. Vsako slovensko društvo naj bi sodelovalo pri tej plemeniti akciji. Vsako društvo naj bi tudi pri svoji seji pobiralo prostovoljne prispevke za ta namen, in imena darovalcev naj se zabeležijo, da bodo priobčena v slovenskih listih. Na sejo 19. aprila so vabljeni vsi Slovenci in Slovenke tega okrožja, četudi ne zastopajo društev. Dvorana bo dovolj velika za vse. Pokažimo, da naša slovenska srca niso otrpla, kadar se gre za pomoč našim trpečim bratom in sestram! — Za postojanko št. 24 JPO-SS:

Chicago, lil. — Tem potom se uradno naznanja, da se bo vršila prihodnja seja federacije društev ABZ za Illinois, Wisconsin in Indiano v nedeljo 26. aprila 1942. Seja bo v Indianapolisu, Ind., v Holy Trinity School Hall, 902 N. Holmes Ave. Pričetek seje bo točno ob 9. uri dopoldne. Vsi zastopniki društev so prošeni, naj bodo točni, tako, da nam bo mogoče sejo končati dopoldne. Popoldne priredijo chicaški igralci šaloigro “Babilon,” katero so vprizorili že v Jolietu in Chicagu. Igra je zelo smešna in zanimiva za gledalce, zatorej že danes opozarjamo občinstvo v Indianapolisu in okolici, da pride gotovo pogledati igro 26. aprila. Nekateri Chicažani, kateri niso videli igre tukaj, gredo samo zato z nami v Indianapolis ,da bodo videli tam igro, o kateri so toliko pohvale slišali. Kaj bo še vse drugo na programu, bodo pa tako tamkajšnji odborniki poročali v Novi Dobi. Vsi člani naše Zveze od bližnjih društev naj se gotovo udeležijo te prireditve, ker to bo zopet praznik naše Zveze, kot je to bila še vsaka seja naše federacije. Seveda so vabljeni tudi vsi naši prijatelji; Glede potovanja tja in nazaj se takoj osebno ali pismeno obrnite na podpisanega tajnika federacije, kateri vam bo z veseljem dal potrebna pojasnila. Torej, še enkrat, vsi prijatelji od blizu in daleč, na veselo svidenje v nedeljo 26. aprila v Indianapolisu.

Eveleth, Minn. — Pri našem društvu Sv. Ime Jezus, št. 25 ABZ, smo v letošnjem marcu izgubili kar tri člane, oziroma dva člana in eno članico. Dne 1. marca je po dolgi in mučni bolezni umrl Matt Miroslavich, ki je spadal k našemu društvu od leta 1899. Ob času smrti je bil star 68 let. Za njim žaluje soproga Barbara Miroslavich, pet sinov in dve hčeri. Doma je bil nekje od Kolpe v Jugoslaviji. Društvo se je poslovilo od pokojnega sobrata z lepim vencem in s spremstvom na pokopališče.
Dne 25. marca je, zadet od srčne kapi, nagloma umrl Frank Petrovčič, član našega društva od leta 1902. Star je bil 64 let in doma od Logatca v Jugoslaviji. Za njim žalujejo soproga Katarina, pet sinov in štiri hče* re; vsi odraščeni. Društvo mu je v zadnjih pozdrav pokloijilo venec in ga spremilo na njegovi zadnji poti.
Tretja smrtna žrtev pri našem društvu je bila Jo'sephine Dolenec, članica nešega društ-varod leta 1906. Ob času smrti je bila stara 72 let). Umrla je 4. marca pri svojih sinovih in hčerah, ki živijo v Californiji; prebivala je čez zimo pri njih. Zapušča soproga Matta Dolenca ter tri sinove in tri hčere.
Vsi omenjeni ppkojniki so bili dobri in aktivni člani pri društvu in ohi-anili jih bomo v lepem spomipu. Sorodnikom pokojnikov pa naj bo v imenu društva izraženo iskreno sožalje.
Kakšnega pomena so podporna društva, spoznamo najbolj šele ob nesreči ali smrti, posebno ako nima umrli član nikakih sorodnikov tukaj. Zelo lepo je, ko se društveni sobrati poslovijo od pokojnika na mrtvaškem odru in mu prekrbijo dostojen pogreb. Ako bi ljudje, ki ne pripadajo nikakim društvom, večkrat opazovali take pogrebe, ne bi bilo treba nobenega siliti v društvo; sami bi pristopili, ker bi želeli, da se tudi z njimi tako lepo postopa, kadar zaključijo račune življenja. Člane pri našem društvu opozarjam, da se bomo morali zdaj nekoliko potruditi, da zakrijemo vsaj vrzeli, ki jih je smrt pustila v naših vrstah, in dobro bi bilo tudi, da si nabavimo nekaj rezerve z novimi člani.
Člane pozivam, da se polnoštevilno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v navadnih prostorih in ob navadnem času v nedeljo 26. aprila. Na dnevnem redu seje bo več važnih reči, med njimi tudi razdelitev častnih znakov tistim članom, ki so pri naši organizaciji že 40 let ali več. Dotični člani bodo še posebej povabljeni na sejo, ustmeno ali pismeno.
Dalje sem ponovno prisiljen opozoriti in prositi nekatere člane, da bi bili bolj točni s plačevanjem asesmentov. Saj večina je točna, in če je večina točna, zakaj bi ne bili vsi. Vsak naj bi pomnil^ da suspendacija je nevarna reč, ker nesreča najrajši pride tedaj, kadar človek ni zavarovan. Člani bi morali tudi upoštevati, da z zaostajanji z asesmenti povzročijo mnogo nepotrebnega dela tajniku. Vsak ima rad točnost, zato pa naj bi bil tudi od svoje strani vsak točen. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 25 ABZ:
John Laurich, tajnik.
Pueblo, Colo. — žalostnih novic nikoli ne zmanjka. Dne 12. marca je naše društvo št. .15 ABZ, izgubilo dolgoletnega člana Matijo Starčeviča, rodom Hrvata, danes, 4. aprila, pa sem bil obveščen, da je preminil sobrat Joseph Berglez. Oba sta bila dobra člana našega društva. Družinama obeh naj bo od strani društvi izraženo iskreno sožalje.
Lansko leto je naše društvo vsled smrti izgubilo 9 članov, letos pa že tri. Iz tega izhaja, da moramo skrbeti za pritok novih članov, če nečemo, da prične društvo nazadovati. Posebno letos je čas, da se požurimo, ko imamo mladinsko kampanjo. Kot znano, so od Zveze obljubljene lepe denarne nagrade tistim društvom, ki bodo tekom kampanje vpisala največ novih mladinskih članov. Poleg tega pa zvišane nagrade za pridobitev novih članov tudi ponujajo lep postranski zaslužek pridnim agitatorjem. Tako lahko koristimo na dve strani: Zvezi in društvu ter sebi.
Člani društva Sv. Petra in Pavla, št. 15 ABZ, so vabljeni, da se v kar mogoče polnem številu udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 12. aprila. Na omenjeni seji bodo prečitani društveni računi in rešiti bo treba nekatere druge zadeve. Svečan del seje bo, ko bo društveni predsednik pripel častne znake tistim našim pionirjem, ki so že 40 ali več let člani naše organizacije. Torej, na svidenje na seji v nedeljo 12. aprila ob 2. uri popoldne! — Za društvo št. 15 ABZ:
Joseph Merhar, tajnik.
bomo prispevali nekaj za humanitarno delo Ameriškega rdečega križa. Za boljši namen ne bi mogel nihče darovati svojih dolarjev. Poleg tega pa je tudi naša dolžnost, da po vseh naših prilikah pomagamo naši svobodni deželi v njenem boju s krvoločnimi diktatorji. Le z zmago Amerike bo ohranjena svoboda in demokracija.
Torej, na svidenje na veselici v soboto 11. aprila!
John Bole, tajnik društva št. 149 ABZ.
Strabane, Pa. — fod avspici-jo vseh tukajšnjih slovenskih društev se bo v soboto 11. aprila vršila velika plesna veselica, katere čisti dobiček bo poslan Ameriškemu rdečemu križu. Veselica se bo vršila v dvorani društva Postonjska jama SNPJ. Vsi rojaki in rojakinje tega okrožja so vabljeni na poset te prireditve. V teh časih napetosti vsi potrebujemo nekoliko oddiha in razvedrila, in tega bomo dobili na veselici. Poleg tega pa
Denver, Colo. — Društvom Ameriške bratske zveze v državi Colorado naznanjam, da se bo prihodnje zborovanje colo-radske federacije vršilo v nedeljo 24. maja v Canon Cityu, Colorado, in 'sicer v tamkajšnji Community Hall. Tako me je obvestil predsednik društva št. 147 ABZ v Canon Cityu, kateremu društvu je bilo naročeno, da to zadevo uredi. Ker naša federacija zboruje samo enkrat na leto, razen če pride kaj izrednega, je priporočljivo, da pridejo na zborovanje 24. maja zastopniki vseh društev, ki spadajo v federacijo, in da prinesejo na zborovanje kaj dobrih nasvetov in priporočil.
Ne pozabimo, da imamo letos kampanjo za vpisovanje novih članov v mladinski oddelek, in glejmo, da se bo država Colorado častno izkazala, kakor po navadi v prejšnjih kampanjah. In nagrade so tudi mikavne. Katero društvo bo dobilo prvo?
Tajnik federacije je že pozval društva, da mu sporočijo imena svojih zastopnikov, in upam, da so društva to tudi že storila. Društva Ameriške- bratske zveze v Coloradu in v sosednih državah, ki so v primerni bližini, toda še niso včlanjena v naši federaciji,’' st5 vabljena, da se nam pridružijo. Pristopnina je samo $3.00 za društvo. Društvo št. 168 v Helper ju, Utah, je že včlanjeno v naši federaciji, toda dosedaj še na nobeno zborovanje hi poslalo svojega zastopnika. Sev6da, mi vemo, da je društvo precej oddaljeno, toda prihodnje naše zborovanje, ki se bo vršilo v Canon Cityu, bo menda bližji Helpreju, kot je bilo katero "koli prejšnje naše zborovanje. Torej, morda se društvo št., 168 to pot okorajži in pošlje svojega zastopnika na naše zborovanje. Ako pa tega ne, pa naj pošlje zborovanju kaka dobra priporočila.
Mesto Canon City je zelo lepo in prijazno, posebno spomladi in zveze % istim so tudi dobre, torej upam, da bo zastopstvo na prihodnjeni zborovanju naše federacije stoprocentno. Na svidenje! — Za federacijo društev Ameriške bratske zveze v državi Colorado:
Steve Mauser, predsednik.
.Euclid, O. -— člane in članice društva Napredek, št. 132 ABZ, vabim, da se polnoštevilno ude-leižjo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v navadnih prostorih v petek 10. aprila, in se bo pričela ob pol osmih (7.30) zvečer. Na programu te seje bo več važnih zadev. Prečitani bodo trimesečni računi. Dalje bo treba nekaj ukreniti tudi glede prireditve našega piknika ali zvezinega dne, ki je določen za 21. junija. Sicer je še precej daleč do tega časa, toda treba se je pripraviti. Potem imamo za rešiti še več drugih zadev, katere bi morale članstvo zanimati. Nekaj se tudi sliši o kegljaških tekmah, ki se bodo vršile prihodnji teden v Barbertonu in nekateri naši člani in članice se pripravljajo, da se jih udeležijo. Tisti, ki se zanimajo za ta šport, naj pridejo na sejo 10. aprila, da se vse potrebno domenimo. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 132 ABZ:

Chicago, lil. — Zadnja mesečna seja društva Liberty Bell, št. 70 ABZ, je soglasno potrdila sklep odbora, da se dne 11. aprila priredi domača zabava,
oziroma banket, ki se bo vršil v prostorih našega predsednika, brata Antona Golenkota, na 2246 Blue Island Ave. Ti naši letni banketi so postali tako popularni, da članstvo vedno z ve-I sel jem glasuje zanje. Vstopnina je določena za par $1.50, za posamezne moške $1.00, ter za jposomezne ženske 75 centov. Godba bo izvrstna—kajti naš podpredsednik Joseph Gomilar in njegov pomočnik Rupe, sta že dostikrat pokazala svoje zmožnosti med nami. Udeleženci bodo prijetno presenečeni, kajti na dražbi bo neka zelo popularna stvar, o kateri je do-zdaj znano samo našemu predsedniku Golenkotu. Torej, pridite v kolikor mogoče v velikem številu na naš banket, kajti postrežba bo izvrstna, godba dobra, in zabava neprisiljena!
V nedeljo dne 29. marca smo imeli kegljaško tekmo v Wauke-ganu, 111. Iz Chicaga nas je šlo tja 14 kegljačev. Tekma je bila med člani ABZ iz Chicaga in Waukegana. Mi smo imeli dve skupini ,in Waukegančani tudi dve. Rezultat je bil: Chicaga beleži eno zmago, in Waukegan. V tem oziru torej, ni bilo “hard-feelings.” To je bil naš prvi športni sestanek z našimi prijaznimi sosedi, in jaz upam, da bomo take sestanke v bodoče večkrat ponovili. Ko je prišla naša skupina v Waukegan, nas je v imenu članstva ABZ lepo pozdravil brat Frank Brence in nas povabil, da naj se počutimo kot doma. On je tudi pozneje dobro zabaval vso družbo, stregel tu in tam, ter pravil take šaljive burke, da smo se vsi prav prisrčno smejali. V Slovenskem narodnem domu so nam postregli z dobro večerjo, katero sta pripravili Mrs. Stanovnik in Mrs. Jelovšek. Vsem znancem in prijateljem, s katerimi sem se sestal v prijaznih pogovorih, se tem potom prav lepo zahvalim za prijazno družbo. Kegljače pa vabim, da se točno udeleže tekme v Chicagu po dogovoru.
V nedeljo dne 28. aprila bo imela federacija okrožja držav Illinois, Wisconsin in Indiana, svojo konferenco v mestu Indianapolis, Ind. Za to potovanje se pri nas vršijo zelo intenzivne predpriprave. Naročili smo največji bus za prevoz— če pa se jih več priglasi, dobimo seveda več vozil. Poleg uradne seje federacijskih odbornikov ter društvenih zastopnikov, katera se bo vršila dopoldne, bo popoldne na odru zanimiv program, kateremu bo sledil ples in razigrana prosta zabava. Chicaški diletantje bodo vprizorili šaljivo petdejanko “Babilon,” v kateri poleg komičnega gospodarja nastopijo tudi strahovi. Kaj več o tem pisati mi ni dovoljeno, zato naj ljudje pridejo sami pogledat.
Dne 12. aprila bo imel chicaški moški pevski zbor “France Prešeren? spomladni koncert v dvorani SNPJ na 2659 S. Lawndale Ave. Ta pevski zbor mnogokrat sodeluje tudi pri naših priredbah, zato toplo priporočam našemu tukajšnjemu članstvu in ostalemu občinstvu, da naj se tega koncerta udeleži v kolikor mogoče velikem številu.
Torej, na svidenje na vseh tu omenjenih priredbah!

Indianapolis, 1 Ind. — Prvo zborovanje federacije ABZ * v Indianapolisu. — V nedeljo 26. aprila se bodo zbrali v Indianapolisu zastopniki društev Ameriške bratske zveze iz držav Illinois, Indiana in Wisconsin, ki tvorijo omenjeno federacijo. Zborovanje se bo vršilo v Holy Trinity Hall na 902 N. Holmes Avenue in se bo pričelo ob 9. uri dopoldne.
V imenu pripravljalnega odbora in celokupnega članstva ABZ v Indianapolisu kličemo vsem zunanjim gostom: dobrodošli! Na večer pred zborovanjem, to je v soboto 25. aprila, se bo vršila veselica v počast zastopnikom in zunanjim gostom. Veselico priredijo skupno
vsa tri naša tukajšnja društva Ameriške bratske zveze, namreč društvo Sv. Jožefa, št. 45, društvo Sloga, št. 166, in društvo Samaritan, št. 194. Vsi, katerim bo le mogoče, so vabljeni, da se udeležijo te veselice, da se bolj med seboj izpozna-mo.
Znano nam je, da večina našega članstva dela po šest ali celo sedem dni na teden, zato se po fizičnem trudu vsakemu prileže nekoliko razvedrila in mu pomaga k boljšemu zdravju. Poleg tega je pa taka prireditev tudi velikega agitacijskega pomena za organizasijo. Udeležba n?« veselici naj bi bila torej kar najbolj številna.
Gostje, ki pridejo v Indianapolis že v soboto 25. aprila, so prošeni, da nam naznanijo vsaj kake tri dni poprej, da moremo preskrbeti prenočišča zanje.
V nedeljo 26. aprila popoldne pa nam bodo chicaški igralci vprizorili šaljivo petdejanko “Babilon”. Igro bo Režiral sobrat Anton Krapenc, ki bo vsebino iste tudi opisal v eni prihodnjih izdaj Nove Dobe. Pregovor pravi, da roka umije roko, obe pa obraz. Ko so se naši zastopniki vrnili od zadnjega fede-racijskega zborovanja, ki se je vršilo v Jolietu, so se izrazili, da so bili prav sijajno postreženi. Zdaj je naša dolžnost, da gostoljubnost po naših najboljših zmožnostih vrnemo.
Članstvo naših društev v Indianapolisu, namreč št. 45, št. 166 in št. 194 ABZ, je vabljeno, da se polnoštevilno udeleži obeh prireditev, to je veselice na večer 25. aprila in igre v nedeljo 26. aprila popoldne. Vstopnice so samo po 50 centov za obe prireditvi. Na veselici bomo imeli priliko seznaniti se z zunanjimi zastopniki in gosti,, kar bo razširilo naše poznanstvo, prijateljstvo in bratstvo. Dolžnost nas vseh je, da jih sprejmemo prijateljsko in bratsko, da bodo iz naše naselbine odnesli kar najlepše vtise, da se bodo še v poznih letih spominjali, da so bili v Indianapolisu res med brati in sestrami.
Vaš pripravljalni odbor se v to svrho trudi, kolikor mu je mogoče, in obenem upa, da mu boste vsi šli na roke in mu pomagali. Ako mu boste pomagali in se udeležili veselice, vam odbor obljubi, da vas bo v decembru iznenadil z lepo božičnico. Vstopnice se bodo prodajale od hiše do hiše in jih bo imel vsak priliko kupiti. Delajmo složno, kajti v slogi je moč, pa bomo pokazali svetu, kaj se da napraviti s sodelovanjem in bratstvom. Na svidenje v soboto 25. in v nedeljo 26. aprila in pozdrav vsem! — Za pripravljalni odbor:
