POROČILO GLAVNEGA TAJNIKA
Glavnemu odboru JSKJ:	1	j
V prilogi je moje poročilo o dohodkih in izdatkih obeh od-; delkov JSKJ od 1. januarja do 30. junija 1939 in o stanju Jednote !
jz dnem 30. junija 1939. Poročilo je bilo predloženo v pregled1 nadzornemu odseku in upam, da so ga nadzorniki našli v redu. j
Čisto premoženje odraslega oddelka je z dnem 30. junija i 1939 znašalo $2,302,244.03, mladinskega oddelka pa $161,899.88, skupaj $2,464,143.91. Napredek $47,235.53.
V bolniškem skladu smo 31. decembra 1938 imeli $29,640.01, dne 30. junija 1939 pa $30,686.56. Napredek $1,046.55.
V onemoglostnem skladu smo 31. decembra 1938 imeli $21,-137.69, dne 30. junija 1939 pa $18,007.86. Izguba $3,129.83. (Opomba. Vzrok, da beležimo v tem skladu izgubo,fje, ker smo stroškovnemu skladu, športnemu skladu in bolniškemu skladu ' vrnili $6,078.90, kar je bilo pred leti prenešeno iz omenjenih skla- , dov, da se je pokrilo deficit v onemoglostnem skladu.)
V športnemu skladu smo 31. decembra 1938 imeli $5,367.96, dne 30. junija 1939 pa $6,781.62. Napredek $1,736.96.
V stroškovnem skladu smo 31. decembra 1938 imeli $19,- ] 902.49, dne 30. junija pa $26,276.49. Napredek $6,374.36.	:
Tekom zadnjih 6 mesecev je bilo ustanovljeno eno novo društvo, namreč angleškoposlujoče društvo št. 236, Strabane, Pa., ki zelo dobro napreduje. Med tem časom so pa prenehala poslovati , tri društva. Društvo št. 104 se je združilo z društvom št. 70, društvo št. 195 je pristopilo k društvu št. 44 in društvo štv161 je pristopilo k društvu št, 149. Jednota sedaj šteje 187 društev.
V prvi polovici tekočega leta je pristopilo v odrasli oddelek Jednote 723 članov, v mladinskega pa 1,711, skupaj 2,434 članov in članic.	1
Jednota je 31. decembra 1938 štela v odraslem oddelku 14,312 članov, v mladinskem pa 8,141, skupaj 22,453. Z dnem 30. 1 junija 1939 šteje Jednota 14,809 članov v odraslem oddelku in 1 9,321 v mladinskem, skupaj 24,130 članov in članic.
Na podaljšani zavarovalnini se je dne 30. junija 1939 nahajalo 280 članov in članic.
V prvi polovici tekočega leta jev odraslem oddelku umrlo 89 ‘ članov, v mladinskem pa 5. Skupaj 94 članov in članic.
Letošnja članska kampanja, predhodnica tretje mladinske konvencije in druge atletične konference, se je obnesla boljše kot sem pričakoval. Rezultat bi bil še bolj povoljen, ako bi ne bilo , radi slabih delavskih razmer in stavke premogarjev, ki je trajala , okrog 11 tednov. Zapisali smo 2,434 novih članov in okrog en mili- ] jon in dve sto tisoč dolarjev nove zavarovalnine. V glavnem ura- -du nam je to povzročilo silno veliko dela in le marljivosti, točno- , nosti in agilnosti mojih pomočnikov7 in pomočnic se moram za- ] hvaliti, da mi ni bilo treba najeti posebne pomoči. Radi tega pri- ] i poročam, da daste mojim asistentom primerno priznanje, kajti ] | plače, ki jih prejemajo, niso zadostna kompenzacija za njih točno , in marljivo delo. Sploh pa želim na tem mestu in ob tej priliki ( konstatirati, da je v glavnem uradu sedaj več kot dvakrat toliko ■ dela kot ga je bilo pred letom 1932, a imam samo dve pomoči več , kot jih je imel moj prednik. Pred leti smo imeli v veljavi samo tri članske certifikate, danes jih imamo deset. Pred leti ni bilo , treba računati prememb iz enega načrta v druge načrte; ni bilo -treba računati dob podaljšane zavarovalnine, ni bilo treba računati vrednosti plačanih certifikatov in se tudi ni bilo treba ukvar- ' jati s posojili na članske certifikate, katerih imamo nad dva tisoč: Zraven tega se je pa tudi jednotino premoženje pomnožilo za več kot EDEN MILIJON DOLARJEV od kar sem prevzel vodstvo glavnega tajništva, in to ne pomnoži samo lhojega dela in : odgovornosti, ampak tudi delo mojih pomočnikov in pomočnic.
Za sijajen uspeh naše letošnje kampanje se moramo seveda v prvi vrsti zahvaliti našim društvenim uradnikom, brez katerih , ne bi mogli nikamor. Aktivni v tej kampanji so bili po večini tisti, ki so bili aktivni tudi v prejšnjih kampanjah, pasivni so bili po večini tisti, ki tudi v prejšnjih kampanjah niso beležili uspeha. Po nekaterih krajih je bilo res človeško nemogoče kaj storiti, toda vem za naselbine, kjer je bila prilika sijajna, a ni bilo nikogar, da bi šel na polje.
K uspehu naše kampanje so znatno pripomogli tudi dopisniki Nove Dobe, angleški in slovenski. Uredništvo glasila je jako efektivno ko-operiralo, ravno tako tudi naš “Little Stan” (Stanley Pechaver), nadzornik Janko N. Rogelj in drugi. Vsem se prav lepo zahvalim za vse, kar so dobrega storili v tem oziru.
Za mladinsko konvencijo in atletično konferenco je vse pripravljeno. Poskrbel sem, da pride na zaključek obeh konvencij (piknik v nedeljo, 6. avgusta )tudi governer države Minnesote, Harold E. Stassen. To bo prvič v zgodovini naše Jednote, da nas pride pozdravit najvišji uradnik države, v kateri je bila naša Jednota ustanovljena. Priprave za obe konvenciji in za piknik je vodil posebni odbor, v katerem so zastopana vsa elijška društva in v Ely-ju živeči glavni odborniki ter odbornica. Zastopniki elijških društev so se tudi to pot radi odzvali in storili so in bodo storili vse, da bosta delegaciji obeh konvencij najboljše postreženi.
Drugih posebnosti nimam za poročati.
K sklepu se toplo zahvaljujem vsem glavnim odbornikom in
VSAK PO SVOJE
društvenim uradnikom in uradnicam za njih prijazno sodelovanje in beležim
Z bratskim pozdravom,
Anton Zbašnik, glavni tajnik.

POROČILO GLAVNEGA BLAGAJNIKA Glavnemu odboru JSKJ :
Sobrat glavni tajnik je ravnokar v podrobnostih poročal o finančnem stanju Jednote z dne 30. junijav1939 za oba oddelka, zato ne smatram za potrebno ponavljati istih številk.
S tajnikovim poročilom se docela strinjam. Sledila bodo poročila glavnih nadzornikov, glede katerih upam, da so našli vse poslovanje v redu. Iz poročila je razvidno, da je jednotino premoženje v prvi polovici tega leta spet povoljno napredovalo.
Večina društev pošilja mesečne asesmente pravočasno, kakor je predpisano v pravilih, in navadno točno označajo v kake svrhe je pošiljan denar. Tu in tam se pripete zamude, ker nekateri društveni tajniki ali blagajniki pošiljajo v delna pokritja ases-mentov jednotine čeke, na katerih ni podpisa prejemnika. V smislu pravil in po naročilu glavnega in nadzornega odbora moram društvom take asesmente vrniti z navodilom, da na čeke preskrbijo odgovarjajoče podpise.
Moje poslovanje z glavnim uradom je vsestransko zadovoljivo. Vselej, kadar pridem po jednotinih opravkih v glavni urad, sem točno postrežen.
Na januarskem zasedanju glavnega odbora sem bil pooblaščen, da se udeležim zimskega zasedanja National Fraternal Congressa, ki se je 21. in 22. februarja letos vršilo v Chicagu. O moji udeležbi na omenjenem zasedanju sem že poročal v našem glasilu.
Ta mesec je minilo 16 let, odkar mi je glavni odbor poveril blagajniški urad, in sicer na svoji polletni seji v juliju 1923. Naj na tem mestu omenim, da je takratno premoženje odraslega oddelka znašalo $525,635.27, konci junija letos pa je znašalo $2,-302,244.03. Premoženje mladinskega oddelka, ki je takrat znašalo $26,717.19, znaša zdaj $161,899.88. Skupno premoženje obeh oddelkov je pred 16 leti znašalo $552,352.46, zdaj pa znaša $2,464,-143.91. Skupni napredek jednotinega premoženja v šestnajstih letih znaša $1,911,791.45, kar predstavlja povprečni narastek nekaj nad $119,486.00 na leto.

POROČILO UREDNIKA-UPRAVNIKA NOVE DOBE Glavnemu odboru JSKJ:
V prvi polovici tega leta, ko je bila v teku kampanja za pridobivanje novih članov kot predhodnica tretje mladinske konvencije in druge atletične konference, je moralo samoumevno tudi uredništvo Nove Dobe posvetiti mnogo pozornosti tej aktivnosti. To ni bilo običajno rutinsko, ampak dodatno delo, ki se je vidno izražalo že v tem, da je bilo treba list izdajati mnogo bolj pogosto na osmih straneh kot tekom prejšnjih mesecev. Seveda je to razumljivo, saj je bila Nova Doba tisti zvočnik, potom katerega se je vršilo glavno oglaševalno delo kampanje.
Mnogo kampanjskega čtiva je bilo napisanega v uredništvu, mnogo pa ga je bilo tudi prispevanega od glavnega tajnika in od drugih glavnih odbornikov in glavnih porotnikov, pa tudi od posameznih članov in članic. Agitacija je bila vsled teh prispevkov bolj pestra in živa in nedvomno tudi bolj uspešna. Urednik želi tem potom izraziti vsem kampanjskim prispevateljem odkritosrčno priznanje za dobro delo. Vsi, ki so javno agitirali, so se kampanje tudi dejansko udeleževali, z njimi vred pa so vršili hvalevredno kampanjsko delo tudi stoteri drugi člani in članice, ki se niso v javnosti oglašali. Uspeh tega združenega dela nam najlepše kažejo številke: skoro poltretji tisoč novih članov v obeh oddelkih in nad milijon dolarjev novo zapisane zavarovalnine. Zavest, da smo dosegli tako krasen uspeh, je najlepše plačilo za naše delo.
Našo kampanjo smo vodili vseskozi dostojno in gentlemansko, zato je poleg uspehov, ki so izraženi v številkah, povečala tudi splošni ugled organizacije. Zelo velikega pomena je tudi, da je ta kampanja, bolj kot katera prejšnjih, zainteresirala za našo Jednoto doraščajočo in doraslo mladino. To smo videli iz prispevkov v Novi Dobi in v faktično doseženih kampanjskih uspehih.
Z rastočim številom članstva narašča sorazmerno tudi delo v uredništvu in upravništvu. Kljub temu pa si seveda urednik-upravnik ne bo nikoli želel olajšanega dela na račun nižjega števila članstva. Za angleško čtivo je zadnje čase večkrat primanjkovalo prostora na določenih dveh straneh. To je razveseljiv znak, da se mladina v vedno večjem številu udeležuje jednotinih aktivnosti; vsekakor, ako pojde tako naprej, bo morala prihodnja redna konvencija nekaj ukreniti v tem oziru.
Lista se tiska zdaj v nakladi okrog 13,500 tedensko. Oglasi se v splošnem točno plačujejo. Konci junija 1939 je bilo dolga na oglasih za $174.53. Ta vsota pa se v glavnem nanaša na oglase, za katere so bili poslani računi šele po omenjenem datumu.
Urednik-upravnik s priznanjem in hvaležnostjo beleži, da je bil deležen prijaznega in točnega sodelovanja ter prave bratske naklonjenosti od strani glavnega urada ter od vseh članov glavnega in porotnega odbora, s katerimi je imel opravka osebno ali pismeno. Isto velja tudi glede urednika angleške sekcije Nove Dobe. Prav take bratske naklonjenosti je bil v splošnem deležen od strani društvenih uradnikov in uradnic ter ostalega članstva. Vse to lajša delo, lepša življenje ter pomaga k ugledu in napredku Jednote, zato zasluži javno priznanje.
Anton J. Terbovec, urednik-upravnik Nove Dobe.

POROČILO PREDSEDNIKA GLAVNEGA NADZORNEGA
ODBORA:
Glavnemu odboru JSKJ:
Kakor običajno, smo se tudi to pot naj prvo ustavili na The Northern National banki v Duluthu, Minn. Na omenjeni banki
(Dalje na 2. strani)
Potovanje iz države Ohio v Minnesoto in nazaj ni za današnje pojme nič posebnega. Vendar bom iz tega primeroma kratkega potovanja skušal zbrati toliko bežnih slik in sličic, da za enkrat z njimi napolnim zevajočo kolono. Ako se vam bo za malo zdelo, ker te slike nimajo pravih zvez med seboj, upoštevajte dejstvo, da včasih nimajo točnih zvez niti najmodernejši vlaki.'
Chicago ima več prebivalcev kot Cleveland, večje nebotičnike, pa tudi večjo vročino. Tako je bilo vsaj v pasjih dneh, ko sem potoval skozi.
Na State Streetu sem videl dva mlada moža, ki sta z velikimi plakati na hrbtih in prsih naznanjala, da iščeta delo.
Ljudje so hodili po cestah mnogo počasneje kot nekdaj. Prav za prav so se vlekli kot nekake podobe iz sanj. Ne vem, ali jih je depresija zadnjih let prepričala, da se jim prav za prav nikamor ne mudi ,ali jih je k počasnejšemu tempu primorala vročina.
Rdeče prometne luči na cestnih križiščih upoštevajo samo avtomobilisti. Pešci hodijo kot koze. Prav kakor v Clevelandu.
Moderni poletni ženski čevlji, ki jih človek vidi prav tako v Chicagu kot v drugih mestih, so res moderni. Svežemu zraku iz-postavl j a j o ne samo peto in zu-nofe' afrtpak tudi palec. Pa ta moda ni tako bedasta kot bi nas eden sodil na prvi pogled. ženska se lahko popraska* po peti, po palcu ali koderkoli, ne da bi se ji bilo treba sezuti.
Tekom vožnje od Dulutha proti Elyu se vidi, poleg zelenih gozdov, kjer prevladujejo smreke in breze, še marsikaj tipično minnesotskega. Po jezeiih ali jezerskih rokavih, ki segajo tu in tam v bližino proge, je videti mnogo belo in rumeno cvetočih vodnih lilij, katere bi bile v ponos vsakemu vrtu. Zagoreli otroci nabirajo borovnice in maline. Mestoma splaši vlak dolgokrako vodno ptico, ki z velikimi zamahi izgine med brezami. Okoli mesteca Tower, kamor pride vlak iz Dulutha z glavo naprej, iz Elya pa z repom naprej, se košatijo pravi pragozdi csata, pelina in kopriv. In minnesotske koprive prav nič ne prikrivajo svojega strupenega pokolenja in pekočega temperamenta.
Okrog malih postaj in seveda tudi po mestecih, kjer se pozimi dolgočasijo veliki snežni zameti, se zdaj košati milijarde pestrobarvnih cvetlic, posebno popelnov, ostrožnika, gladi j ol, maka, plavic in sladkega graha. Lipe cveto tam šele v začetku avgusta. Kdaj dozori njihovo sadje, nisem mogel izvedeti. Tudi robini so še navdušeno peli v zgodnjih jutrih avgusta, kar znači, da so se takrat še ženili ali pa so vsaj še pestovali mladi zarod. Tudi to rodbinsko življenje minnesotskih robinov je težko razumeti.
Mesto Ely, ki je vsaj v svojem stanovanjskem delu precej podobno razdrobljenemu parku, ima tudi prijazen mestni park. To je tisti park, v katerega dva pred nekaj .leti takt) poželjivo gledala z rogato čado, ker je bil vhod vanj zaprt, menda zaradi mlado posajenega drevja. Takrat sva bila s kravo enih misli, da nikakor ni prav, če je park zaprt slavnemu občinstvu. Park je zdaj odprt za dvonožno občinstvo in kolesarje; Poletne večere prireja včasih tam koncerte mlada elyska godba, ki je lepo (Dalje na 4. str.)
Zapisnik polletnega zborovanja glavnega odbora JSKJ
(Nadaljevanje & X. strani)
ima naša Jednota shranjene vse vrednostne listine. V navzočnosti vseh mojih kolegov, glavnega podpredsednika, glavnega blagajnika, bančnega uradnika in dveh državnih pregledovalcev iz Minnesote in države Ohio, smo prešteli vse obveznice, katerih vsota je $2,147,844.75. Odrezali smo od njih vse obrestne kupone za nadaljnih šest mesecev. Odrezke smo izročili glavnemu blagajniku, da iste vnovči, ko pride čas dozoritve.
Iz varnostnih predalov na banki smo vzeli sledeče bonde: Big Creek School District, McDowell County, W. Va., $10,000.00, Euclid, Ohio, Street Improvement, $10,000.00, City of Lima, Ohio, Street Improvement in Sewer, $10,000.00, Monroe County, Mich. Twsps, $4,000, Palestine, Texas, School House, $10,000.00, Rich-1 land Parish, Louisiana School District No. 18 $10,000.00, City of Trinidad, Colorado, Water Refunding, $20,000.00. Ti bondi bodo j izplačani v prihodnjih šestih mesecih. Pustili smo jih pri upravi banke proti posebnim pobotnicam, da iste z dovoljenjem glavnega 1 blagajnika vnovčijo, ko pride čas dozoritve.
S pregledovanjem knjig in računov v glavnem uradu smo pričeli v torek 25. julija. Pregledali smo vse poslovne knjige glavnega tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in urednika-upravnika Nove Dobe.
Z zadovoljstvom moram konštatirati, da smo našli vse knjige in račune pi'ejeomenjenih glavnih uradnikov v dobrem in pohvalnem redu. Zatorej priporočam vam, cenjenim souradnikom, da finančno poročilo odobrite in sprejmete. Iz računskega poročila glavnega tajnika in glavnega blagajnika je razvidno, da smo v j zadnjih šestih mesecih imeli lep napredek v blagajni, kar je razveseljivo za vse naše članstvo. Glavni tajnik, glavni blagajnik in knji} ovodkinja, sosestra Barbara Matesha in drugi uradniki, so nam bili za časa revizije vedno radevolje na razpolago. Zato jim iskrena hvala.
Zadnje letno zasedanje me je odbralo, da naj zastopam -Jed-noto na zborovanju Ohio Fraternal kongresa. Ker se istega nisem mogel udeležiti radi zaposlenosti, sem sporočil mojemu namestniku, bratu Janko N. Rogelj-u, ki me je nadomestoval, zakar mu hvala.
Kakor navadno, smo imeli tudi zadnjih šest mesecev precej dopisovanja in glasovanja z glavnim uradom radi važnih zadev, ter ssm vedno skušal biti točen. Vedno sem priporočal in glasoval tako, kakor sem sodil, da bo prav za Jednoto.
Kot član finančnega odbora sem priporočal nakup bondov, o katerih sem bil prepričan, da bo dobro in varno posojilo za našo Jednoto.
Z bratskim pozdravom,
John Kumse, predsednik glavnega nadzornega odbora JSKJ.

POROČILO PRVEGA GLAVNEGA NADZORNIKA
Dragi mi glavni odborniki:
Strinjam se s poročilom predsednika glavnega nadzornega odbora, da smo dne 24. julija pregledali jednotino premoženje na The Northern National banki v Duluthu, Minn. Odrezali smo vrednostne kupone od vseh bondov, da se jih vnovči v prihodnjih šestih mesecih. Ob istem času sta pregledala isto premoženje dva državna nadzornika ter ugotovila predpisano premoženje naše Jednote.
Dne 25. julija smo pričeli s pregledovanjem knjig glavnega tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in urednika-upravnika Nove Dobe. Primerjali smo dohodke in izdatke med Jednoto in društvi, kakor tudi tvrdkami, s katerimi posluje organizacija. Ugotovili smo, da knjige soglašajo ter da je poslovanje v vzornem in pravem r3du. Zato priporočam sprejem vseh predloženih računov.
Za vestno poslovanje gre priznanje vsem, ki vodijo to uradno jednotino poslovanje.
Zahvaljujem se vsem glavnim odbornikom za složno sodelovanje v zadnjih šestih mesecih.
V zadnjih šestih mesecih me je glavni odbor poslal na dve slavnosti naših društev, in sicer v Center City, Pa., in v Delmont, Pa. V obeh prilikah sem bil hvaležno in dobro sprejet od društvenih uradnikov in članov istega društva. Jednoto sem tudi zastopal na zborovanju Ohio Fraternal kongresa v Columbusu, Ohio, o čemur sem vam že poročal v Novi Dobi.	/
O moji aktivnosti v Novi Dobi ne bom poročal v detajlih, ker to ste opazili sami. Skušal bom isto še v bodočnosti.
V minuli kampanji sem skušal po svojih močeh pomagati, kjer je nanesla prilika in kjer sem bil vprašan, da naj pomagam. Udeležil sem se sej federacije naših društev v državi Ohio, katera vrši dobro in bratsko delo.
Veseli me, da je bil naš uspeh tako sijajen in plodonospn. Vse to kaže, da imajo člani in članice naše organizacije veliko zaupanje v svojo Jednoto. Vse kaže, da v organizaciji vlada splošno zadovoljstvo in mnenje, da je Jednota dobra in poštena, ker le v tem slučaju jo morejo člani in članice priporočati novim kandidatom. Ako bomo tudi v bodoče vzdržali to razpoloženje med našim članstvom, potem ji je napredek zagotovljen tudi v bodočnosti.
Kot član finančnega odbora sem priporočal in glasoval za nakup tistih bondov, ki sem jih smatral za dobre in obrestonosne.
S tem zaključujem moje poročilo ter vas pozivam: Le tako naprej, brez strahu in bojazni.
Z bratskim pozdravom,
Janko N. Rogelj, prvi glavni nadzornik JSKJ.

REPORT OF SECOND SUPREME TRUSTEE
To The Honorable Supreme Board of the SSCU:
The prescribed duty of making this semi-annual report is | combined frith a feeling of pleasure because of the fact that our Union has again made unique progress during the past six months.
A thorough examination and audit has been made of the i books and accounts of the Supreme Secretary, Supreme Treasur- i er and Editor-Manager of “Nova Doba,” and they were found to be accurate in all respects. The Union is continuing its forward march and financial gains are again shown in both adult and juvenile departments.
It goes without saying, however, that most outstanding is! the gratifying success in enrollment of new members during the recent Juvenile Convention and Athletic Conference Campaigns.
That such gains were made despite the unfavorable economic conditions which still prevail in so many communities is almost unbelievable. We must be justly proud of our loyal workers who made this result possible and especially of those who have been so successful that they will next week attend the Convention and Conference here in Ely as honored delegates of our Union.
My duties as a member of the Finance Committee were performed to the best of my ability. Likewise the other business of the Union referred to me received my earnest and prompt attention.
I have made a number of contacts with people who I believe will be able to aid us in securing our license in the State of Wisconsin in the near future.
On March 28, 1939, 1 attended the Annual Meeting of the Illinois Fraternal Congress and took part in discussions and made recommendations which I felt were for the good of Fraternal Insurance. What I learned there I shall endeavor to make practical use of at the earliest opportunity and will give a more detailed explanation later.
Also at the request of our Home Office I attended a meeting of our branch No. 158 in Auburn, Illinois. While unfortunately no immediate major benefits of my visit can be recorded, I feel that some interest has been aroused and am hopeful that a new lodge may be organized in the near future.
Recently I had the pleasure of going to Strabane, Pennsylvania, to be present as repi'esentative of the Supreme Board at the victory celebration of our newest English-speaking Lodge No. 236. There I received a very warm, cordial reception and found unusual enthusiasm abounding for our Union, which is in no Ismail part due to the able and sincere efforts of Bro. Stanley Progar with the assistance of his many friends. This new lodge j is especially to be congratulated on enrolling enough new members to be entitled to two delegates to our forthcoming Athletic ! Conference.
I join in expressing sincere thanks and hearty appreciation to all who have contributed toward the excellent showing made i since January 1st.
Fraternally yours,
Frank E. Vranichar, 2nd Supreme Trustee.

| Cenjeni glavni odborniki:
Dne 24. julija smo se sešli v The Northern National banki v Duluthu, Minn., vsi glavni nadzorniki z glavnim podpredsednikom in glavnim blagajnikom naše organizacije. Opravili smo predpisano delo, kar so že poročali nekateri glavni odborniki.
Dne 25. julija pa smo pričeli s pregledovanjem knjig glavnega tajnika, glavnega blagajnika in urednika-upravnika Nove | Dobe. Poročati moram, da smo našli vse v lepem redu. Tekom i zadnjih šestih mesecev sem gledal, da sem bil točen. Kjer je bila prilika, sem delal in agitiral za Jednoto. Na uspehe v kampanji sem ponosen, ker se je tako dobro završila. člani in članice ljubijo našo organizacijo, zato gre vsem, ki so delali, pravo'prijateljsko in bratsko priznanje. Upam, da boste tudi vnaprej delali za Jednoto.	/	'	'	.
Upam tudi, da naši delegatje mladinske in atletske konvencije ne bodo pozabili naše organizacije. Upam, da bodo ostali lojalni in pridni tudi v bodoče. Le tako naprej.
želim, da bi to zasedanje glavnega odbora napravilo dobre | in koristne zaključke, da bodo v korist organizacije in našega članstva. S tem zaključujem moje skromno poročilo ter se zahvaljujem celokupnemu glavnemu odboru za složno delovanje v ko-I rist JSKJ.

REPORT OF FOURTH SUPREME TRUSTEE | To the Supreme Board of the SSCU:
In accordance with the provisions of our Constitution and By-! Laws, the board of trustees met at The Northern National Bank i of Duluth, Minn., July 23rd to examine all the valuable papers | kept by our Union in the safety deposit boxes there. Since our | supreme president was unable to be present at the audit, our I vice-president brother Joseph Mantel presided. Two state examiners representing sixteen different states were also present.
The valuable papers are kept in the safety deposit boxes in The Northern National Bank being bond certificates, on our examination. We carefully checked and counted every bond, and too, coupons were cut from the bond certificates having interest due in the near future. After completing our examination, the exa ;t number of bond certificates owned by our Union were i placed back in the great safety vaults of The Northern National Bank of Duluth, Minn. Incidentally, the amount of coupons clipped for interest total almost to the amount of forty-seven thou-i sand dollars.
Further complying to the provisions of our Constitution and ! By-Laws, the board of trustees along with the supreme vice-j president came to the Home Office for the purpose of examining the books and accounts of the supreme secretary, supreme treas-! ur er and the editor-manager of our official organ—the Nova i Doba.
Every book, record and account was carefully examined as to all income and disbursements of our Union in the past six ! months. Hence, I am very glad and proud to state that the state-I ment disposed to the general public as to the condition of our : Union is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
A substantial gain is evident in practically every fund kept j by our Union, which certainly means financial progress. More-! over, I am very proud to .state that materially our Union is making a mighty progress. There never was, I believe, another fraternal organization that obtained as many new members as did ours in the same course of time. This certainly means that our organization is being recognized as the outstanding Unioji for the protection of its certificate holders.
As to the correspondence with the Home Office, I answered 1 every letter promptly, and with the greatest of consideration.
As a member of the finance committee, I continued to use my very best judgment in the selecting of bonds for the purpose of investing the surplus of our Union.
In conclusion, dear members, we must be grateful to each other for the good cooperation which made progress evident. Therefore, I urge that we continue the good spirit, so that before long, we can proudly say, “The South Slavonic Catholic Union is
not only the best, but the largest fraternal organization in I America.”
Andrew Milavec, Jr., Fourth Supreme Trustee. | Report of fourth supreme trustee accepted.
POROČILO PREDSEDNIKA GL. POROTNEGA ODBORA Polletni seji gl. odbora, 1939:	1
Iz The Fraternal Compend-Digest, za leto 1939 je vidno, da v primeru s številom članstva v odraslih oddelkih pri naših ; slovenskih podpornih organizacijah, ima naša Jednota pro-centno največ otrok zavarovanih. To je seveda posledica mladinskih konvencij. Mladinske konvencije ,kot vidno iz poročila v glasilu ta teden, so bolj privlačno sredstvo za pridobivanje novega članstva kot pa atletiške konference. To seveda pride od tega, ker je asesment v mladinskem oddelku zelo majhen.
Veselo pa sem bil iznenaden ko sem čital v glasilu, da je za atletiško konferenco kvalificiralo 31 delegatov. To nam živo dokazuje, da se je začela tukaj rojena naša mladina zanimati za svojo Jednoto. To zanimanje pa je seveda v glavnem prinesla povečana športna aktivnost pri nas zadnjih par let, in ne toliko zavarovalnina sama, kar pa nas ne sme motiti, in naj nam služi le kot kazalnik poti, katere se bodemo morali v j bodoče še bolj držati kot v preteklosti.
Kar se tiče športa pri nas je sedaj najbolj važno vprašanje to kako kolikor mogoče zainteresirati naše starejše članstvo za šport. Osebno mi je znano in pa tudi potom korespondence, da pri nekaterih naših društvih ne samo da se starejše članstvo ne zanima zadosti za svojo mladino, ampak jim celo povzroča razne ovire, kadar se gre za šport.
Naša mladina hoče iger, razvedril, takih, katerim so vajeni kot tukaj rojeni. Za vse tako večkrat izrekajo svoje želje potom društvenih uradnikov ali pa na sejah. Tam pa namesto, da bi bili takoj pripravljeni za kooperacijo, pa argumentirajo, da mladina, namesto da se igra in išče razvedril, bi morala biti zainteresirana v glavnem za delavske probleme in sploh za socijalne probleme v tej deželi. Eden najbolj priljubljenih argumentov je, da so športne igre če ne iznajdba kapitalistov, vsaj podpirane od njih, da na tak način obračajo ljudi od resnih problemov v tej deželi in tako koristijo sebi. Z drugimi' besedami povedano, vse preveliko število našega starejšega članstva pričakuje od naše mladine, da puste svoje mladeniško ve-velje in takoj, ko dovrše šole, postanejo resni možaki. Posledica takega obnašanja je, kar je tudi vam znano, da naše mladine pri vse prevelikem številu naših društev ni videti na sejah.
Priznam, da me je privedlo do tega pisanja moje lastno zanimanje in kooperacija pri športu med našo mladino tukaj, vendar pa si upam toplo priporočati in apelirati na vse vas na seji zbrane glavne odbornike naše Jednote, da vsak izmed vas vselej in ob vsaki priliki deluje in pomaga do večje športne aktivnosti pri naši Jednoti, ker znano nam je vsem, da naša mladina absolutno potrebuje našega sodelovanja in pomoči, in v veliki meri je ravno od nas starejših odvisno, da-li bo naša Jednota v bodoče še bolj napredovala potom za našo mladino najbolj efektivne privlačne sile—ATLETIKE.
- V upanju, da bodete glavni odborniki v polni meri sodelovali z delegati pri atletiški konferenci in ukrenili dosti dobrega in dalekovidno-koristnega za našo Jednoto, vas vse bratsko pozdravljam.

REPORT OF THE ATHLETIC COMMISSIONER AND ENGLISH EDITOR
To the Supreme Board of the SSCU:
This is my report as athletic commissioner and English editor for the first six months of the year 1939.
Requests for financial assistance made from they sports fund have been considerable between January 1st and June 30th. Part of the larger number of requests can be traced directly to the activity spurred by the juvenile convention-athletic conference membership drive, which officially terminated on June 30th. This campaign drive encouraged the younger set to enroll their friends and acquaintances—spurred on the "boys and girls to organize athletic teams, and the subsequent need of additional funds to maintain their lodge teams. Recommendations for grants from the sports fund were made to the supreme board committee on athletics on the basis of new enrollments, lodge teams, and the plans to increase the lodge membership.
This year the national SSCU duckpin tournament, held in Pittsburgh, and the national SSCU tenpin tournament, held in Cleveland, attracted again a host of SSCU members, their friends and outsiders. In my opinion, both events justified the money appropriated from the sports fund for this purpose.
I am also very happy to report that our English-speaking members have shown an unprecetended enthusiasm for our SSCU this year, due to the athletic conference idea embodied with the juvenile convention in this year’s drive for new members. Practical experience gained by the candidates, delegates j and others of the younger set in our Union during the membership campaign just ended has made the younger set in general conscious of their responsibilities to the SSCU; in many instances it has transformed a disinterested member to a staunch booster of our Organization.
Letters, articles and news items submitted for publication j in the English section of Nova Doba have reflected the sincere j and profound interest of the younger set in our SSCU. Where in other years this unbridled enthusiasm was confined to the juvenile members ,this year it has spread into the veins of the; entire English-speaking group.
As long as the ingenuity of the supreme board will extend to the youthful members of our Union the type of ideas fol-1 lowed in the juvenile conventions and athletic conferences, there need be no fear that the SSCU will decline from its present enviable position because of the failure of the English-speaking members to do their part. I see in the juvenile convention-athletic conference idea the beginning of genuine action by the younger set to fill the niche in the SSCU carved by the admiring senior members.

past six months was one hundred fourteen (114). The number of claims for operation and indemnity benefits was one hundred forty (140). The number of claims for sick and disability benefits was two thousand three hundred eight-seven (2387). The nnmber of new applications for membership was in the neighborhood of five hundred and fifty. I say in the neighborhood of five hundred and fifty because the routine transfer from the juvenile to the adult department are not examined by me. I do not, therefore, have the number of total new adult members admitted or considered during the past six months. The claims for benefits, when considered and compared with those of the same period a year ago are practically the same. The membership as a whole is to be congratulated on the general health of the Union. It is my sincere desire that we continue along the same path as heretofore.
The past six months have been active on the part of the entire Supreme Board with reference to the visitation of various lodges. Our Supreme Secretary wrote me a letter to visit the meetings of the following lodges, namely 175, Verona, Pa., and 12 Pittsburgh, Pa., on Sunday, April 9th, 1939. These meetings I attended and reported the result of my visit to the home office. On Sunday, April 16, I was directed to visit lodges 99 at Moon Run, Pa., and lodge 29 at Imperial, Pa. The results of these visits were also reported to the home office. I was also asked to contact the officers of local lodges 182 and 196. The results of my contacts with these lodges was also reported to the home office.
Our Supreme President directed me to attend the convention of the Insurance Federation of Pennsylvania, Inc., which was held at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh the week of May 15, 1939. I attended this convention as well as all the meetings of our Federation of Lodges of the SSCU in Western Pennsylvania. I have also attended various annual celebrations of our local lodges in our area. '
At the request of our Supreme Secretary I had a conference with the legal advisor of the Pennsylvania Workman’s Compensation Board. The result of this conference was reported to the home office. Also at the request of our Supreme Secretary I contacted a member of the Alleghany County Assistance Board, a branch of the Pennsylvania Assistance Board. This was with reference to the amount of insurance carried by members of ours who may be on relief. The result of this contact was also reported to the home office.
In closing I wish to thank the members of the Supreme Board, the members of the Supreme Judiciary as well as all local officers for their cooperation in my work during the past six months. It is my earnest wish and desire that we continue in the future as in the past, that is, for the growth and progress of our South Slavonic Catholic Union.
Respectfully submitted,
F. J. Arch, supreme medical examiner

S tem so bila prečitana in na znanje vzeta vsa poročila glavnih uradnikov in pridejo na vrsto razne zadeve, ki jih ima za predložiti v rešitev glavni tajnik.
Kot prva taka zadeva je predložena resignacija sosestre Mary Kolenc, ki je bila osem let kot dobra in zanesljiva pomočnica zaposlena v glavnem uradu. Resignira zato, ker se bo poročila. Glavni urad bo vsled tega seveda potreboval novo pisarniško moč, in glavni tajnik priporoča v to svrho Miss Margaret Mlakar, članico društva št. 1, ki je po njegovem mnenju sposobna za tako delo. Vrstni red pomožnega osobja v glavnem uradu bo nekoliko izpremenjen in plače regulirane; vsekakor skupne plače pomožnega osobja ne bodo znašale nič več kot dosedaj.
Frank Lunka, član društva št. 1, je prestal operacijo, za kakršno pravila ne predvidevajo operacijske odškodnine, in prosi za nekaj pomoči na podlagi točke 307. Se mu odobri $25.00 izredne podpore.
Mary Klopčič, članica društva št. 3, prosi za kako izredno podporo. Pred meseci si je zlomila nogo. Je še vedno bolna, toda ni zavarovana v bolniškem skladu, iz onemoglostnega sklada pa si ji tudi ne more nakazati redne podpore, ker bolezen še ne traja eno leto. Se ji odobri $25.00 izredne podpore iz onemoglostnega sklada.
Glavni tajnik poroča o nekem društvu naše Jednote, ki odklanja prospektivne nove člane, ki niso katoličani. Tako postopanje seveda ni v skladu z našimi pravili, ki določajo, da za-more postati član naše organizacije vsaka značajna oseba kav-kaškega plemena, ki zadosti zahtevam glede zdravja in starosti; verska, narodnostna ali politična pripadnost ne igra nikake vloge. V Minnesoti bivajočim glavnim uradnikom se naroči, kakšne korake naj store v tem oziru.
Društvo št. 6 priporoča, da naj bi se nakazalo nekaj izredne podpore mladinski članici Frances Gradišek, ki je morala prestati dve operaciji. Omenjeni želji se ne more ustreči, ker mladinski sklad nima nikakega fonda, iz katerega bi se pokrivali taki izdatki.
Louise Brodarič, članica društva 11, ki je zavarovana samo za smrtnino, bi se želela zavarovati tudi za bolniško podporo. Omenjena članica je že pred leti izčrpala vso onemoglostno podporo, kar kaže, da ji njeno zdravstveno stanje onemogoča zavarovanje za bolniško podporo.
Ludvik Mrhar, član društva št. 15, je prestal več operacij, za kakršne v naših pravilih niso določene operacijske odškodnine. Se mu na podlagi točke 307 nakaže $15.00 izredne podpore.
Frank Mehle, član društva št. 15, je tudi prestal neko operacijo, za katero se mu v smislu pravil ne more plačati redne operacijske odškodnine. Nakaže se mu $15.00 izredne podpore.
Jernej Selan, član društva št. 16, želi dobiti nekaj odškodnine za operacijo na bezgavkah. V smislu pravil se mu ne more ničesar nakazati, niti na podlagi točke 307.
Joseph J. Laurich, član društva št. 25 in delegat letošnje atletične konference, je zaposlen pri CCC ter morda ne bo mogel dobiti dopusta, da bi se udeležil atletične konference, in vprašuje glavni odbor, če bi mogel mesto njega priti na konferenco njegov brat. Sklenjeno, da se prizna brata za polnomoč-nega delegata, če bi originalni kandidat in delegat ne mogel priti na konferenco.
Antonia Nemgar, članica društva št. 25, je prestala operacijo, za kakršno se v smislu pravil ne more zahtevati odškodnine. Se ji nakaže $25.00 izredne podpore.
Anton Koren, član društva št. 27, se je pritožil zaradi odklonjene mu odškodnine za operacijo. Zadeva ni dovolj jasna in se izroči vrhovnem zdravniku v svrho nadaljne preiskave.
Frank Augustin, član društva št. 29, se je pritožil, da je prejel prenizko odškodnino za operacijo na dvojni kili. Na pod-
lagi predloženih podatkov se sklene, da se mu nakaže še $35.00, s čimer bo operacijska odškodnina plačana v polnem.
Za Johna Kromarja, člana društva št. 37, ki je 64 let star in je svojo rezervo že izčrpal, se nakaže asesment za šest mesecev iz onemoglostnega sklada.
Louis Paskvan, član društva št. 39, zahteva odškodnino za otrpnjeno nogo pod kolenom, na podlagi točke 299, odstavek d. Po pregledu listin in po pojasnilih vrhovnega zdravnika je bilo sklenjeno, da omenjeni Paskvan ni upravičen do zahtevane odškodnine.
John Klobučar in Mihael Praznik, oba člana društva št. 40, sta morala prestati neke operacije, za kakršne v pravilih ni predvidenih operacijskih odškodnin. Se nakaže po $15.00 izredne podpore vsakemu.
Tajnik društva št. 43 se obrača na glavni odbor z vprašanjem, da-li bi bilo proti pravilom ali ne, če se iz društvene blagajne prispeva v neko gotovo svrho. Glavni odbor je mnenja, da se kolektanju v označeno svrho prav lahko od ene ali druge strani obesi znak verskega ali političnega značaja, kar lahko pri društvu zaneti prepir in morda celo pritožbe na razne instance. Ako se pri naših društvih kolekta v razne svrhe, glede katerih obstaja možnost, da imajo politično ali versko ozadje, je najbolj varno, da se v take svrhe ne prispeva ničesar iz društvenih blagajn, ampak se zadeva odloži za po seji, ko lahko prijatelji dotične svrhe kolekta jo med sočlani prostovoljne prispevke. Na ta način ne bo nihče indirektno prisiljen prispevati za nekaj, kar ni po njegovem okusu.
Na priporočilo glavnega tajnika je bilo nato sklenjeno, da iz vzroka, ker je glavni predsednik odsoten, podpiše vse čeke, ki bodo izdani tekom polletne seje ter mladinske konvencije in atletične konference in ki zahtevajo predsednikov podpis, navzoči prvi glavni podpredsednik Joseph Mantel.
Zaključek druge seje ob 12. uri opoldne.
TRETJA SEJA
Tretja seja zborovanja je bila po prvemu glavnemu podpredsedniku otvorjena dne 31. julija ob pol dveh popoldne. Navzoči so vsi tisti glavni odborniki kot na drugi seji. Nadaljuje se z reševanjem zadev, ki jih ima za predložiti glavni tajnik.
Društvo št. 50 v Brooklynu, N. Y., bo 26. novembra letos obhajalo svojo 30-letnico. Za slavnostnega govornika za tisto priliko želi glavnega tajnika, obenem pa se priporoča za oglas za programno knjižico, ki bo izdana ob tisti priliki. Zaključeno, da se vzame oglas v velikosti ene strani za $10.00, Jednoto pa naj na omenjeni prireditvi zastopa v Brooklynu bivajoči glavni porotnik Valentin Orehek.
Ludviku Mayerju, članu društva št. 58, je bila po vrhovnemu zdravniku odklonjena operacijska podpora. Po predloženih boljših podatkih in po pojasnilu vrhovnega 'zdravnika, je bilo sklenjeno, da se sobratu Mayerju zadržana operacijska odškodnina v znesku $50.00 izplača.
Društvo št. 87 v St. Louisu, Mo., bo 29. oktobra obhajalo svojo 30-letnico in želi za tisto priliko kakšnega glavnega odbornika kot govornika. Sklenjeno, da Jednoto na omenjeni prireditvi zastopa glavni predsednik Paul Bartel iz Waukegana, 111.; v primeru pa, da bi bil on zadržan, ga nadomesti Frank E. Vranichar iz Jolieta, 111.
Mary Maček, članica društva št. 99, je prestala operacijo, za kakršno se po pravilih ne plača redne operacijske odškodnine. Nakaže se ji $25.00 izredne podpore.
Edvard Ambrožič, član društva št. 105, ki je bolan že od maja 1935 ter je izčrpal vse podpore, prosi za kako izredno pomoč. Sklenjeno, da se mu plača asesment za šest mesecev iz onemoglostnega sklada.
Ignac Novljan, član društva št. 110, se pritožuje, ker mu je bila odklonjena bolniška podpora, ko se je po presledku gotove dobe spet javil bolnega. Dokazano je iz poročil zdravnikov, da boluje za isto bolezen, za katero je bolniško podporo že izčrpal, in je, v smislu tolmačenja glavnega odbora, zdaj deležen samo podpore iz onemoglostnega sklada.
Tony Stražišar, član društva št. 112, je prestopil iz mladinskega v odrasli oddelek in se je moral podvreči operaciji prej kot je bil v smislu pravil upravičen do redne operacijske odškodnine. Prosi za kakšno izredno podporo. Se mu nakaže $15.00.
Društvo št. 133 priporoča, da bi se nakazalo nekaj izredne podpore članici Margaret šuklje, ki da je že dolgo bolehna, toda še ni prejela nikake bolniške podpore. Prošnji za izredno podporo se ne more ugoditi, toda, če je omenjena članica res bolna, naj se pravilno javi bolno, pa bo deležna redne bolniške podpore.
Tajnica društva-št. 137 se pritožuje zaradi odklonjene porodne nagrade članici Frances Jevnikar. Porodna nagrada je bila odklonjena na podlagi točke 526 in glavni odbor potrdi postopanje glavnega urada.
Zadeva operacije Dorothy Kochevar, članice društva št. 184, se odda glavnemu tajniku v svrho nadaljne preiskave.
Jennie Gorman, članica društva št. 186, je prestala operacijo, za kakršno se v smislu pravil ne plača redne operacijske odškodnine. Se ji nakaže $25.00 izredne podpore.
Anna Gornick, mladinska članica društva št. 190, je kvalificirala za delegatinjo letošnje mladinske konvencije, toda je takoj po zaključeni šoli dobila službo v nekem uradu in se vsled tega konvencije ne bo mogla udeležiti. Z ozirom na ta slučaj je sklenjeno, da se Anni Gornick pošlje v dar ženska zapestna ura.
Mary Skalar, članica društva št. 200, je prestala operacijo, za katero se po pravilih ne more zahtevati operacijske odškodnine. Se ji nakaže $25.00 izredne podpore.
Tajnik federacije društev JSKJ v državi Ohio vprašuje, dali ne bi mogel glavni odbor nekaj ukreniti z ozirom na takojšno plačevanje izrednega asesmenta v onemoglostni sklad od strani novo pristoplih članov. Glavni odbor smatra za umestno, da se tovrstne izpremembe prepustijo konvenciji, ki se bo itak vršila že prihodnje leto.
Tajnik ohijske federacije dalje vprašuje po danem mu navodilu, če ne bi tudi glavni odbor JSKJ mogel kdaj izpustiti kak smrtninski asesment na leto, kakor to delajo nekatere druge sorodne organizacije. Z ozirom na to vprašanje je mnenje glavnega odbora, da v smislu konvenčnih sklepov nima takih pravic. Toda, četudi bi imel tako pravico, bi se je v teh časih ne po-služil. Danes nam prinašajo naše investicije nizke obresti in ni videti, da bi se obrestna mera raznih investicij dvignila. Pri taki nizki ali še nekoliko znižani obrestni meri pa lahko v nekaj letih porabimo vso rezervo in lahko bi se zgodilo, da bi morali razpisati celo izredne asesmente v smrtninski sklad. Ako se nekatere druge organizacije poslužujejo take reklame, je to popolnoma njihova zadeva. Zadeva našega glavnega odbora pa je, da drži solventnost naše Jednote kar mogoče visoko, da ne bo

DOPISI
Trinidad, Colo. — V tem
okrožju smo pred nedavnim izgubili dva dobra člana J. S. K. Jednote. Prvi je nevarno obolel sobrat Frank Krivec, član društva št. 84 JSKJ v Trinidad u, Colo. Po nasvetu njegove soproge in članov društva se je podal v bolnišnico v Pueblo, Colo. Tam je bil okrog 30 dni, nakar je bolezni podlegel dne 31. julija. Njegovo truplo je bilo prepeljano v Trinidad, kjer se je vršil pogreb dne 3. avgusta. Pogreba so se po možnosti udeležili člani društva št; 84 in drugih društev JSKJ v tej okolici, isto-tako tudi člani linijskega lokala U. M. W. of A. iz Morleya, Colo., h kateremu je pokojnik spadal.
; Pokojni sobrat Krivec je bil Idoma iz Trnja pri št. Petru na j Notranjskem in je bival v Ameriki okrog 35 let. Tu zapušča 'žalujočo soprogo in, če se ne motim, šest .otrok. Naj mu bo lahka ameriška gruda, žalujočim ostalim pa bodi izraženo sožalje.
Drugi, katerega je skoro istočasno pobrala neizprosna smrt, je bil sobrat Ilija Salapich, član in predsednik nadzornega odbora društva Sloga, št. 233 JSKJ v Ludlowu, Colo. že par i dni predno se je podal v bolniš-mico se je počutil nekako slabega, vendar je mislil, da bo ta neugodnost minila brez resnih posledic. četrti dan pa je povedal očetu, na katerega farmi je de-| lal da ne more več opravljati običajnega dela, nakar so ga takoj odpeljali k zdravniku v Trinidad, Colo. Zdravnik je ugotovil, da ima akutno vnetje slepiča, nakar je bil takoj odprem-ljen v bolnišnico, da ga pripravijo za operacijo. Zdravnik je očetu povedal, da bo operacija težka in nevarna in da ni dosti upanja, da bi jo uspešno prestal. In tako je tudi bilo. Deset dni Je v. bolnišnici boril s smrtjo in 81. julija je za vedno zatisnil oči. Pogreb se je Vršil po cerkvenih obredih dne 4. avgusta. Društva Sloga, št. 233 JSKJ, katerega član in uradnik je bil pokojnik od ustanovitve istega, mu je priredilo lep pogrebni sprevod. Pogreba so se udeležili tudi člani linijskega lokala U. M. W. of A. iz Delague, Colo., h kateremu je pokojnik spadal. Pokojnik je bil rojen v naselbini Delagua, Colo., in je bil ob času smrti šele 22 let star. Mater je izgubil pred petimi leti. Kot dober sin je pomagal očetu pri vzgoji nedorasle družine. Pokojnik zapušča žalujočega očeta, pet bratov in eno sestro ter več drugih sorodnikov po Zedinjenih državah.
V	imenu društva Sloga, št. 233 JSKJ, se iskreno zahvaljujem bratskemu dimštvu št. 84 JSKJ v Trinidadu, Colo., ki nam je za pogrebni sprevod posodilo svojo zastavo in nam tudi drugače prav bratsko šlo na roke. Zahvalim se tudi članom drugih društev JSKJ in vsem ostalim rojakom in prijateljem, ki so se udeležili pogreba. Naj bQ pokojniku lahka rodna ameriška gruda in naj mu bo ohranjen blag spomin, žalujočim ostalim pa bodi izraženo iskreno sožalje! Za društvo Sloga, št. 233 JSKJ: John Lipec, zapisnikar.
Center, Pa. — Tem potom hočem nekoliko poročati o pikniku, ki sta ga skupno priredili tukajšnji društvi JSKJ dne 4. julija v Center Beachu. Piknik je še dosti povoljno izpadel, vreme je bilo lepo in udeležba precej velika. Izmed glavnih odbornikov so bili navzoči: Paul Oblock, prvi glavni podpredsednik; dr. F. J. Arch, vrhovni zdravnik; Frank E. Vranichar, drugi glavni nadzornik iz Jolieta, in Frank Mikec, glavni porotnik iz Strabane, Pa, Navzoč je bil tudi sobrat Joseph Sneler iz Pittsburgha, predsednik pennsylvanske fedracije društev JSKJ.

Iz urada glavnega tajnika
VAŽNA NAZNANILO DRUŠTVENIM TAJNIKOM
Ta teden smo razposlali na društvene tajnike in tajnice tabele asesmenlov in neizgubljivih vrednosti certifikatov načrtov “D,” “E,” in “F” s kratkim pojasnilom. Vsakemu društvu smo poslali po tri iztise in vsaki pošiljatvi smo priložili tudi en izlis tabele za načrte “AA,” “11,” in “C.” Ako kako društvo teh knjižic ne bi sprejelo, naj izvoli sporočiti glavnemu uradu.
Z bratskim pozdravom,
ANTON ZBAŠNIK, glavni tajnik.
Zapisnik polletnega zborovanja glavnega odbora JSKJ
Nadaljevanje s 3. str.
treba izrednih asesmentov, če bi visoka umrljivost, poslabšane obrestne mere od investicij ali pa druge izredne zadeve nenadoma začele črpati našo rezervo, časi so preveč nestalni, da bi bili preveč lahkomiselni glede naših smrtninskih rezerv.
Tajnik federacije društev JSKJ v zapadni Pennsylvaniji priporoča, da bi glavni odbor na svoji polletni seji nakazal penn-sylvanski federaciji kako denarno podporo, iz katere bi potem federacija nagradila tiste tajnike posameznih društev svojega področja, ki so se izkazali najbolj aktivne tekom letošnje kampanje v pridobivanju novih članov. Priporočilo se ne more upoštevati, ker nimamo nikakega fonda, iz katerega bi jemali denar za take svrhe. Ako pa bi imeli na razpolago denar za take svrhe, bi se take nagrade agilnim društvenim tajnikom lahko nakazale kar direktno iz glavnega urada, brez posredovanja federacij.
O	agilnosti posameznih društev in društvenih tajnikov je na podlagi doseženih uspehov pač glavni urad najbolj poučen.
Tajnik coloradske federacije vprašuje, če ne bi mogel glavni odbor nakazati kake odškodnine društvenim tajnikom za izredno delo, ki ga imajo s članstvom mladinskega oddelka. Kakor že večkrat prej, more glavni odbor tudi sedaj odgovoriti, da za enkrat ni odkod vzeti denarja v take svrhe. Morda prihodnja konvencija ustanovi kak poseben fond za take ali slične svrhe.
Glavni tajnik nato poroča o nekaterih bondih, glede katerih naj bi seja glavnega odbora napravila kakšne zaključke. Po vsestranskem debatiranju o vseh posameznih skupinah bondov je bilo sklenjeno sledeče:
Glavni blagajnik in glavni tajnik sta pooblaščena, da prodata bonde" St. Lucie County, Florida, v znesku $2,500.00; dalje sta pooblaščena, da prodata bonde nizkih izdaj State of Arkansas, Road District Refunding Series B, katerih je nekaj za nad pet tisoč dolarjev.
Glede bondov Parish of Richland, Louisiana, School District No. 18, katerih je za $10,000, sta glavni blagajnik in glavni tajnik pooblaščena, da jih zamenjata za bonde nove izdaje, ki se bodo obrestovali po 4%. Za nove bonde bo jamčil ves okraj, ne pa samo šolski distrikt kot sedaj za stare.
Glede bondov Pasco countya v Floridi, katerih je za $5,000, sta pooblaščena glavni tajnik in gl. blagajnik, da pristaneta v znižanje obrestne mere na 4%, ako večina drugih lastnikov bondov pristane v tako znižanje.
Zadeva Marion, 111., bondov za vsoto $16,000.00 se poveri osebni preiskavi sobrata Franka E. Vranicharja. Na podlagi podatkov njegove preiskave naj potem glavni tajnik, glavni blagajnik in omenjeni nadzornik Vranichar ukrenejo, kar se jim bo v situaciji zdelo za Jednoto najboljše.
Zaključek 3. seje ob 5.30 zvečer.
ČETRTA SEJA Prvi glavni podpredsednik Joseph Mantel otvori četrto sejo polletnega zasedanja dne 1. avgusta 1939 ob 9. uri zjutraj. Navzoči so vsi tisti glavni odborniki kot so bili na tretji seji.
Zapisnikar prečita zapisnik druge seje in nato še zapisnik tretje seje. Oba zapisnika sta sprejeta in potrjena kot čitana.
Slovenic Publishing Co., v New Yorku se priporoča za običajni jednotin oglas v koledarju za leto 1940, ki ga izda omenjena tiskovna družba. Se sklene naročiti eno stran oglasa.
Pismo s ponudbo oglasa v Ameriškem družinskem koledarju se vzame na znanje. '
Prečita se pismo od Foreign Language Information Service, katera ustanova vrši zelo važno delo v korist priseljencev različnih narodnosti in ki se vzdržuje s privatnimi prispevki. Vsi naši kot drugojezični listi dobivajo od te ustanove informativne članke, ki so mnogokrat velikega pomena za priseljence. Kot malo odškodnino za to se ustanovi nakaže $25.00.
Glavni tajnik prečita pismo od Catholic Knights of St. George, ki ima glavni stan v Pittsburghu, Pa. Omenjena bratska podporna organizacija je tekom zadnjih let zasledovala razveseljivo rast naše Jednote in bi želela pobližje poznati naš sistem in metode naših mladinskih kampanj. Glavnemu tajniku se dovoli, da omenjeni organizaciji pošlje zaželjene informacije.

V okolici Elya se te čase klati tudi nekaj patrulj komarjev, ki so pa večinoma škrbasti, kot se mi je povedalo. Koliko je na tern resnice, ne vem, ker nisem nobenemu na zobe gledal.
Minnesotske borovnice so letos nenavadno temno višnjeve. Ko sem vprašal po vzroku, so mi dejali eksperti, da se jim hud zimski mraz še pozna na obrazih. Borovnicam namreč.

O krasno uspelem pikniku na Sandy Pointu bi se dalo marsikaj napisati, pa bom za sedaj odložil. Za enkrat naj povem le, da bom morda v bližnji bodočnosti dobil kak ducat računov za pokvarjene fotografske kamere, in pa, da me je neskončno zabavalo, ko sem videl bartender-je, ki so v velikih škafih nosili vodo v jezero.
Tretja mladinska konvencija in druga atlet.ična konferenca naše Jednote sta mi pustili mnogo lepih spominov, toda v pestrem vencu teh spominov bodo ostali najdalje sočni in sveži pozdravi prijateljev, ki so mi jih prinesli prijazni fantje in lepe deklice iz raznih držav. Posebno so me razveselili pozdravi z mojega nepozabnega zapada.

Chicago, 111. — Members of lodge “Jugoslovanski zvon”, 70, SSCU are hereby notified that on July 30, death came unexpectedly and took away sister Mary Roseman. She was buried on August 3. The deceased was well known to the members, always prompt with payment of assessments, and atte n d i n g meetings regularly, even though she lived some 5 miles from the place of meeting. She always will remain a vivid personality in our lodge picture.
At the last meeting wrs read the 3-month and the six-month report. Unfortunately, only 12 members out of 140 were present. For this reason, it was decided at the last meeting to assess a fine on each member who fails to attend at least four meetings a year.
All members in arrears with assessments are requested to be more prompt with their payment. The secretary cannot advance funds from the lodge treasury to anyone for this purpose, and he himself is not in a position to do so out of his own pocket. Those unable to pay should come to the meeting and explain their predicament, or come to the home of the secretary. Then, and only then, can the secretary help out members in need.
Members are invited to attend the next meeting to take place on Saturday, August 19, in the usual quarters. Admission ( tickets to our dance on October i 22, will be distributed at the meeiting. Cost of,admission shall be 30 cents; at the door, 40 cents. Each member of the lodge j must purchase at least one ticket, and it is the duty of each; member to sell as many as he, can. To save postage, all mem-; bers are requested to come to the next meeting and secure j their dance tickets.

CARDINALHIGHLIGHTS
Struthers, Ohio. — “Won’t; somebody please wake the Cardinals.” Ho-hum! and another day is gone. Oh, by the way, why don’t you Cardinals -show your true colors and attend the; meetings. At the last meeting the attendance was poor as I would say. So come to the meeting and make the attendance one hundred percent.'
The Cardinals wish to thank St. Martins of Barberton, O., the neighboring lodges and all friends who attended the picnic and helped make it a success in spite of the rain. The feature attraction was a double-header ball game. Both games were won by the Cardinals. Both teams have some wonderful players. More power to you boys. After the rain it seems to me that a larger crowd was drawing near to the picnic.
Can you imagine:
Alice Zalar and Pauline Fri-lich not wanting to go home on j the bus. We wonder why?
Louis Mihelič wanting to: I leave early because of work. I wonder.
Joe S. of Barberton, O. celebrating his birthday at thee Cardinals picnic.
Tony Okolish and John Opeka bringing their own music box just to see the jitterbugs dance.
Al Slabe and Steve Millison wanting to dance. Why so sudden boys?
Just to remind the Cardinals | not to forget the next meeting.
Several newspapers on the Iron Range carried stories of the SSCU’s third biennial juvenile convention and second athletic conference, and the attending. festivities such as the picnic at Sandy Point, where Minnesota’s Governor Hon. Harold E. Stassen was the principal speaker. Louis Adamic, noted writer, spoke at the juvenile convention and the picnic. Credit for the Wide publicity given the SSCU’s juvenile convention and athletic conference goes to Little Stan Pechaver, national SSCU publicity director.
Chicago, 111. — Now that the convention is over, and the delegates are back home again thinking over the glorious vacation they enjoyed, I wish to mention a few items.
I do not think that we should lose our enthusiasm, with the convention and conference now history. We should go forth with even more glory than ever to bring new members to the SSCU.
I was down at the Chicago and Northwestern station to see the delegates. Our president, Bro. Gottlieb missed the opportunity to greet the delegates, inasmuch as he was busy on business. He is a florist, and a busy one. We were pleased to see Bro. William Launch, Bro. Oblak and Bro. Zvezdich of lodges 211 and 70. Louis M. Kolar was on hand to meet the delegates in his charge, and to introduuce the delegates. The many happy smiles on the faces of delegates indicated that they were proud members of the SSCU.
We regret very much the passing of Mrs. Mary Rozman, a member of our lodge, who died at the age of 61. She had just returned from a vacation in Utah with her son. A member for many years, she leaves seven daughters and one son: Mrs. Mary Lenzi, Mrs. Anna De Sitter, Helen and Henriette Rozman and Mrs. Marcella Kulpo, all of Chicago; Rosalia Roza-nig of Hibbing, Minn., Joseph Rozman of American Fork, Utah, Mrs. Elizabeth Swite, Columbus, O. The deceased formerly lived in Chisholm, Minn.

Ely, Minn.—They came; They conquered and were conquered!
Although not meant to be words of battle, the above lead sentence can well be applied to the Second Athletic Conference and the Third Juvenile convention which ended here in Ely, Aug. 6 after two days of a really wonderful ;time! 1
From the time the trains left j from homes of the delegates to i the day when they returned home, one eventful thing after I another took place which will | forever be a thrilling and ex-; citing memory in the hearts of j them all. So many things hap-
Two Brothers Depart
Lodge 233
Ludlow, . Colo. — Our lodge “Sloga”, 233, SSCU lost a good member in the death of Ilija Salapich, who died on July 30. A member of our lodge since its inception on August 14,1938, he served on the board of trustees, attended the meetings and helped the lodge as a good member. The lodge will miss him. The deceased was 22 years old at the time of death, and leaves behind, his father Jack Salapich, five brothers and one married sister.
Our delegates all returned safely from the convention in Ely. Our delegate from the juvenile convention arrived on Wednesday, August 9, and she was very well pleased with the trip and stay in Ely, where she saw the birthplace of our Union, and where she met many new acquaintances, including delegates and members of the supreme board.

Trinidad, Colo. — Recently we lost two good SSCU members in this locality. First it was Frank Krivec, member of lodge 84, Trinidad, who passed into the great beyond in the hospital in Pueblo, Colo., where he was confined to bed for some 30 days. Funeral services were held on August 3, and attending the services were members of lodge 84 and other SSCU lodges in this locality; also members of the Morely, Colo., local of U. M. W. to which the deceased belonged.
The departed Bro. Krivec resided some 35 years in the states. He left behind a bereaved wife, and if my memory serves correctly, six children. May he rest lightly in his grave and may the bereaved be consoled with a pleasant memory. •
The second to depart was Bro. Ilija Salapich, member and board of trustee chairman of lodge “Sloga,” 233, SSCU of Ludlow, Colo. The deceased suffered but four days from an acute attack of appendicitis, and after being operated upon, wavered between life and death for ten days, when the last breath' left him. The funeral was held on August 4, and members of his lodge, 233, SSCU accompanied him to his final resting grounds. Attending the funeral services were also members of Delague, Colo., local of U. M. W., of which the deceased was a member. He lost his mother some five years ago, and as a good son, helped out his father with the still growing family. The deceased leaves a sorrowful father, five brothers, one sister
i pened — all of them being the best things.
You might call this short preliminary story a prelude to what will come in successive weeks. Our SSCU members throughout the nation will read thrilling accounts of the stories of the conclaves for weeks to come.
For the entire Nova Doba staff of reporters — regular contributors and newer writers will give you laeir personal bird’s eye view of the entire affair. Done in their own master-| ful style, covering all the phases, i There was material for weeks S to come, and if you want interesting reading keep your eyes peeled every single week for Nova Doba.
Because of the printing of minutes of the supreme- board, the convention business sessions and the like, Little Stan will cut his column a bit short this week. But beginning next week, his story of'the convention will begin, and won’t stop until he has covered all the ground possible.
Before going much further, Little Stan wants to thank immensely, Miss Anne Prosen and Miss Elsie Desmond, members of Ilirska Vila lodge No. 173 of Cleveland, Ohio, for their wonderful assistance in covering the speeches of notables at the convention. Miss Prosen was one of the recording secretaries i of the second athletic conference, and Miss Desmond of the juvenile convention. Ilirska Vila lodge has produced the writers. Then Bro. Anton Terbovec editor-manager of Nova Doba, recorded the minutes of the supreme board session, and he too is a member of No. 173. Bouquets to Lodge Illirska Vila for developing these fine writers. It is a feather in their hats!
In addition to recording min-
and several relatives throughout the United States.
In the name of lodge “Sloga,” 233, SSCU, I wish to extend my sincere thanks to lodge 84, SS-! CU, Trinidad, Colo., for the loan j of their lodge banner, and for ! all other assistance. I wish to thank also all the members of other SSCU lodges, and all friends who attended the funeral. May the ground covering our departed brother rest lightly, and may the bereaved be comforted with pleasant memories of the deceased.
John Lipec, Rec. Sec’y
utes, Miss Prosen took in short hand the speech by Loui& Adamic, prominent Slovene writer, to the convention, and also recorded the speech of Minnesota’s Gov. Harold Stassen and other speakers at Sandy Point. Miss Desmond assisted her. Miss Rose Banovetz of Roundup, Montana collaborated with Miss Prosen in recording Mr. Ada-mic’s convention address. My sincere thanks to you.
By the way, a personally autographed copy of Mr. Adamic convention talk awaits delegates who didn’t get their copy. Just drop Little Stan a line and he’ll send you one.
The steady click of the teletype can well be likened “to what is on tap for SSCU members in Nova Doba during the next week. For news is coming in. Let’s Go To Press!
Convention News
Ely, Minn. —■ While I am writing this letter, the third juvenile convention of our SSCU is in full swing. It is Friday, August the fourth. Yesterday, Thursday, the delegates from al over the United States arrived. The city of Ely is decorated with flags and "welcome” signs for the occasion. The delegates arrived to find the station platform at the depot just filled j with people. The Ely High ; band played to welcome our j delegates and marched us to the I Home of the SSCU. Then we had : an informal meeting nominating our officers for the convention. Albert Adamich, of Joliet, Illinois, was unanimously appointed as chairman, and all of us believe that it would be hard j to find a better person to fill that position.
With Bob Jurgel as chief l'un-maker and waker-upper on the train, the delegates state that even though they were very tired and sleepy, they enjoyed their trip very much. Friday morning we had an official meeting, with Mr. Zbasnik acting as : chairman until Albert Adamich was officially elected. During , recess we got acquainted with all of the delegates and also got i their autographs. Mr. Louis Adamic, the great author, came here as a special guest and gave a speech with so many good points that a resolution Avas made that a copy of the speech,
| with Mr. Adamic’s autograph, be given to each and e^ery delegate present. Friday afternoon we went on Lake Vermillion to the Indian Reservation and saw ! a real pow-wow. Some of the delegates participated in this ; war dance and they seemed to be j having a lot of fun. I hope they don’t go “native” on us. Friday evening there was a dance at the Ely Community Center. Everybody seemed to be enjoying ! themselves. If they couldn’t dance, they could enjoy themselves just looking at some of lour Ely jitterbugs. Little Stan is certainly having a lot of fun.
I	didn’t look at him once that he wasn’t surrounded with a crowd of pretty girls—am I not right Stan ?

Albert Jelercic, lodge 186 Cleveland, O., was the unanimous choice for sentinel, and Jimmie Klobuchar, juvenile delegate, as honorary sentinel.
It was then moved and seconded that the chair appoint a resolutions committee of seven Motion was carried and the following were appointed to serve on the resolutions committee: Mary L.

Louis M. Kolar, Athletic Commissioner, submitted the following report of athletic activities within our Union:
DELEGATES AND SUPREME OFFICERS:
It was back in September of 1930, in Cleveland, O., that the first national athletic conference was held, and I was one of the fortunate members to be in attendance. The first athletic conference .was of two-day duration, and upon adjournment, all the delegates looked forward to the second athletic conference in the near future.
Little did we realize, back in 1930 ,that nine years would transpire before the second athletic conference would be held. Little did we realize then that one of the most serious of world’s crises in history would impede the continuation of the work started in that year. Banks have collapsed, great institutions have tottered and crashed into oblivion, relief and WPA have made their entry—since 1930.
So great was the depression, and so acute was the condition felt by our members that in the following year, 1931, the sports fund was suspended from its original course and the money used to help members to maet their assessments. We must remembers that in 1931 our SSCU had not yet adopted the legal reserve in its death benefits— the 20-year endowment, 20-year pay life, and the ordinary life certificates based on the American Experience Table of Mortality were not adopted until the 1932 regular convention at Indianapolis.
In 1935 the supreme board saw fit to reinstate the sports fund into the original purpose for which it was created. Financial assistance again was granted to such SSCU lodges as deserved it: Namely, those who supported athletic activities with new enrollments. It was in this year that the members saw for the first time national SSCU open tenpin and duckpin tournaments.
In the years that followed, 1936, 1937, 1938 and the present year, the sports fund has been utilized principally to extend grants to SSCU lodges, in organizing and maintaining athletic teams, to sponsor national bowling tournaments open to all members.
The sports fund has served a very worth while purpose. I doubt very much if the first or the second national athletic conference would even be considered a possibility without the sports fund.
I mention this short history to you delegates because I feel that in your efforts to reach your goal during the past six months, you have become very much acquainted with the SSCU, its possibilities, and its responsibilities. I feel that in the delegates, both to the juvenile convention and the athletic conference, the SSCU has an enviable working nucleus for posterity. \
Our Union was the first to idopt the athletic conference dea in 1930. It was the first to s.dopt the juvenile convention

All’s Well that Ends Well

s j Conemaugh, Pa. — I want to :> | take this opportunity to thank i j the great SSCU for being the r , only organization which gives i the opportunity to the young t! folks to come together from far g ; and near to attend a successful \; conference which we had in Ely, s | Minnesota.
e! The wonderful welcome e | shown us first by “Little Stan” -land by the Ely people is more than words could express our , | feelings, and which we cannot forget. I also appreciate and ‘ wish to thank the supreme officers, Ely Council, Ely' School 3 i Board, and the fine band or-f | ganization, for the support giv-11 en us. The fine cooperation 1! shown by the above will have a ’ place in our heart for some e time.
3 We sure are proud to have the £ * e Home of our organization in - such a beautiful surrounding,
■ as Ely most fortunately has, v such as the following: The land . of lakes, fine buildings, beauti-s ful parks, modern city hall and 11 community building, the mar-s'velous Home Office building,
-1 and last but not least the eheer-£ | ful inhabitants which inhabit si this beautiful and wonderful 11 city.
|! The fine work of “Little Stan,” who devoted most, if not i all, of his time in showing us 3 delegates the different points of t interest in the great Tourist > Country, will not be forgotten ’ | by the delegates for many years ^ yet to come. I guess the dele-. gates got a few pointers on how 1 to Jitterbug from Little Stan, (the master of Jitterbug).
‘ A great point of interest was 5 : the trip (we traveled by boats) j made to the Indian Reservation.
L	■
, We sure enjoyed the trip be-« cause some of us never had seen ! an Indian. The real treat was the | Indian War Dance which wras as interesting as the Jitterbug 1 Dance made by “Little Stan;”
1 Through the capable leader-j ship of our supreme officers,
1 the juvenile conference was a very successful event, The ju-; venile conference had many good and interesting discus-[ sions held by a good group of . young intelligent officers.
The athletic conference was 1 held without the aid of the supreme officers and came through with much success 1 through the fine work of the ; athletic commissioner Louis M.
. Kolar, Chairman Stan Progar | and all other capable athletic ; | officers.
The community street dance | was another great treat to the | delegation. It was a gallant affair for both young and old. Many acquaintances were made through this incident. This af-! fair was accompanied by a ' group of talented young musicians. I noticed that one of our delegates (Justine Korent) is a member of this fine musical organization.
The picnic held in honor of the delegation was well attended. Here we had some real speakers such as, Louis Adamic (Slovene author), Governor Stasson of Minnesota, supreme officers, and Mayor Lambert of Ely. These speeches have a

Emil Zebre, Mary Petritz, Helen Okoren, Louis Shray and Eleanor Lange I who kept one of my buddies very well occupied from Chicago on thru to Ely. But as I have said dear diary, the fun lasted until just before we came to Ely. Then the fun was laid aside just long enough for the official greeting of
■ Brother Zbasnik by our own Elsie Des-' mond and Helen Okoren. But this all j comes on another page so please wait : until the page is turned and until my j memory is cleared for I don’t want any-| thing to slip and not be registered. You i see diary, we are now coming to the most important part of the journey, the first glimpse of Ely, our Supreme Secretary and of the many friends in Ely. So please don’t be angry when I tell you that all this will be saved for i another occasion. You see diary, I am not the only one that would like to record his or her happy moments, so 1 please excuse me until exactly seven < days hence when X will tell you of the rest of my trip. Until then dear diary it’s just so-long from Big Stan.
Traffic Lights
! Risking your life to save a few seconds in crossing the [street is really an invitation to ! spend the next few months in a hospital. Traffic lights are for : the protection of the pedestrian as well as the motorist, and it | takes but a few seconds before the light will be in your favor. More than half of the persons killed so far this year were crossing in the middle of the block or against the traffic signal.

made at regular intervals such as “next stop, Spooner two minutes—no time for telegrams—candy, cigars and slightly used pears—five cents and smoking in the outer lebby only.” Of course some obeyed this last command only because they happened to be in the outer lobby when they were smoking. And another thing diary, the vegetable door, or I should have said the vestibule door, had one sweet time to remain closed. Even in the dark of night some one or the other would open the door and peer into the night, see nothing and them return to the coach sat-> isifed. All going to show that we really had a swell time.
Yes, dear diary, I did mention something of the artistic talent that was aboard the train. Ha, ha, you should have seen some of the faces that reflected in the mirror after us artists were done with the lip stick. As someone said, boy was my face red. They were, dear diary. Especially the face of Joe Oblak. His was such a dear face as I said before, a face that just invited the touch of lip stick. Boy, diary, you should have seen him after myself and my staff of artists completed our job. Even Joe didn’t recognize himself when he looked into the mirror. He had to pinch himself to prove just who he was.
Now diary, why must you know’ just who were my henchmen on the trip? Ah, so you think I’m not capable of so much devilishness? Ah, which proves that you still don’t know me. But I will confess that I had plenty of help. Sure they were of the male species. You don’t think that ladies would be any thing but ladies do you? Oh you do. Well, my cohorts of mischief were Bobby Jergel, Francis Sneler and Ralph Kovacic. This foresome is the quartet that ruined many a peaceful hour of sleep from many of the travelers. But they were paid back by the others. Yes diary, fully repaid for you should have seen their faces. Looked as though some one was heaving red ripe tomatoes around and proved to be outte a marksman. Right, Prank .Mekina?
And so it was dear diary, when no fun was in sight, some of us tried to open brother Kartell's “suit-koufer” without a key. You see, for a while Bub was without a key but later it turned up when we failed to open it. *
And all this while dear diary, wa were approaching Duluth, the second leg of our journey. Just as we were getting close, fun was suspended so some of us could make ourselves prettier, as if we gould. But we tried anyhow for we knew that in Duluth we would meet the Western delegation and Little Stan. And sure enough when we pulled into Duluth, the first person we saw was Litftle San for we were looking up just a little bit. As the train stopped, we all grabbed our bags and left the train to be greeted by Little Stan himself and to be escorted to the station across the way where the Ely train made its stops.
Here Diary, we had time to refresh ourselves and our appetites and before you could say Jack Robinson, I was j having lunch with four pretty girls. Sure I can tell you for they were my 1 traveling friends from away out Penn- j sylvania. The traveling foresome that had quite a time aboard and lpnched with me were Veronica Barbie, Jackie Schimmel, Prances Prah and my honey, Theresa Macek. And we all had good appetites for laughters and the bumping ! of the.train'really put us in shape for! a hearty meal.
And so diary, we sojourned back to the station to,write cards and to await traintime. Soon everybody appeared and all aboard was heard. A fast scramble for a good seat was out of the question for I had business to attend to and was one of the last to get on. But my cohorts proved on the job and as I boarded, the -choice of the train was saved for me. But there was no time for sitting as more fun had to be had. And before one could sneeze, the fun started. The girls of Montana started to give their fellow passengers lessons in the Barnyard hop and one of the first few students were your boyfriend and his j pal, Louis Kolar. Sure it was lots of fun for as we got stung, everybody roared and in this way, no time was; had for the blues.
And diary, it was here that I really met a friend. She is such a sweet little ?irl that you won’t mind me raving ibout her. Yes, I first seen her with j Rose Banovetz and just like that my j little friend got acquainted. They called ' ler Giggles and rightly so for that’s! ill she did. But how did we get ac- j luainted? Sure you guessed it. By air-nail. She yelled air mail and when I ooked, kersock, Giggles scored a direct; lit. Prom then on, Giggles and I were ust like that. Air mail was our game j md I must tell you that before leav-ng Ely, Giggles or perhaps I had better ell you her real name, Marie Stimac lent me a card via air mail. Rather :ute, don’t you think diary.
Oh yes diary, I met many more in-eresting people aboard the Ely Flyer »ut I must quit now and turn the page i >efore you prove rude and go back : m me. Just to mention a few, there was :

v crowd was to be left behind. But just as ! r; we were about to board 'the train, who j y should show up but the absentee, Mary ii Bodack living up to the true tradition I ;t of all women, using up every spare mo- i s ' ment and causing greying hair to reach j a their goal long before time y And so, dear diary, we boarded the j r train and headed for Chicago, the first! a. leg of our trip. All in one corner of j ' the coach and with most of the intro-1 ductions over with and nothing but fun a on the program. But diary, our trip to ! ’• Chicago proved rather tame for we 1 had too many strangers aboard. Oh yes,
■; we did have fun but when one is in a ! 1 hurry, he covered only the important; r tilings, so if you don’t mind, 111 just j 3 J say that the trip was never dull and j ! every moment was well taken care of.! 1 But as it was bound to happen, we ar- ; ? i rived in Chicago late in the afternoon, i f j hungry and in a hurry to transfer sta- j 1 i tions. Mr. Panfil of the Chicago- j ‘ : Northwestern met us and took charge of j r I our baggage and seeing to it that all of | ^; us found a ride to the Northwestern ;
| station. This is what we looked forward i '! to for at the Chicago-Northwestern sta- j r | tion; W’e knew that our Ohio buddies I '! would be awaiting us. So away we went, j
I ; Oh yes, before we left the Pennsy sta- !
* tion, I had to see our friend from away
II out Indianapolis, Indiana, Joseph Ba-
■ nich. Sure enough he was there, tired -: of waiting for he waited for us about i j two hours. Anyhow diary, Joe spotted ^ (us and tagged right along. Seeing a
■ i new face, I just had to inquire, for it’s 11 just my nature. Oh, I know you’ll ex-’ j cuse me especially when I tell you ? i that Joe turned out to be a very fine
• boy even though he was rather bashful.
> i But along with us he came and we then ! s I started to the spot where the Ohio j ' I friends were. But diary, we were almost : disappointed for there was no one at ’ | the station. Our first traveling com--: panion that we met was Joe Oblak from : j the windy city. And at the moment I j
II saw him, a thought came to me. Just j i i the right material to practice on my
, | art . . . And sure enough diary, Joe
■ I proved it. His face had just the right I i i features. But that comes later. At first j s \ our Ohio friends were nowhere in sight
i; so we went directly to our coach and
■ i then skipped back to the station for a
■ \ light, snack. That over with, we hustled ! ’ oack to the train and who do you sup-
’ pose we found in our car? Yes, dear j I diary, our Ohio friends led by our very '
.; good friend, Louis Kolar. And so dear | i diary, customary greetings were in or-i j der and up and down the line went ' j new introductions and just like that new friends were made. There was John “Bub” Kardell, as fine a fella as 1
■ one cares to meet, A1 Jelercic, another . 1 ace from Cleveland that gave us many
III hwrfi' lftiiihi From Barberton cam? Frank Mekina, also an ace who later I turned to be my buddy in Ely. What?
I should be ashamed of myself for in-troducting the men before the women? 1 But Diary ,the women are always first *
| so why couldn’t the men be first only ' in this one occasion? Especially since ’ 1 they are such nice fellas. Oh, you’ll excuse me if I hurry on and bring in the : women! Sure dear diary, there was < Cecelia Seme, a cute and charming girl ' | from Cleveland and a sister scribe from ' \ the same city, good Ann Prosen. Ann < sure saw to it that everybody had a 1 j swell time and was very comfortable. ' j Lillian Rudolph was absent for she ■ , couldn’t make the trip due to work.
; Then with Ann was another sister ' j scribe from away out Cleveland way. i Yes, you guessed it, for the person in I mind is Elsie Desmond. A hard worker I and a good scribe. What? You say if I 1 ; stay in Cleveland I may write as good ' ! as them? Now diary, you promised that you wouldn’t tease me. Anyhow, if I < move from good old Pennsy you know : where I’ll go. Yes diary, to dear old 1 : Ely. Ah yes, before you tease me more, • ! I must tell you of the sweet little boy > from 19600 Arrowhead avenue, in Cleve- f land. Yes, diary, his name is Frank 1 ; Tanko but whom we all called Frankie 1 ; de tankie. Yes we all had so much fun > with him, so please remember him.
And so diary, after all the boys and 1 ; gals met each other, we went on an ex- < i ploration trip to see just what we were i ! riding in. And believe you me dear diary,
! we rode in class. The coach was very t i modern with all the comforts of home. 1 To accommodate those that loved to ' ! spend a nice quiet evening, and by the 1 | way we had many that went for this t famous indoor sport, the car had a ' very comfortable lounge. And dear < diary, that lounge proved very popu- I lar. No, I can’t tell you who went for s the cut-away apartment for that would f be telling and wouldn’t be fair.	1
Yes diary, I heard you. W<> all had r so much fun. I still believe that some- t one spread laughing gas around for we 1 just couldn’t stop laughing. Of course, s fun had something to do with it but I not all for we laughed from the time we 1 started till our journey ended. Still then i we had a tough time to stop especially 1 when we marched in Ely. Oh yes, I’m too far ahead of myself and you want r to know just what placed us in a jolly £ j mood. Well it was this way Diary, some e j one told a story and we all laughed. I i Some one would holler air mail and; 1 | when you did a right about face, bowie 11 you were hit and everybody laughed c like as if it was funny. Then again, some c; one would fall asleep and awake to find r that he had changed from a white fel- 1 la to one of the Indians that we saw in 1 Ely. Then, A1 Jelercic or Eddie Mikec' j would yell, “Oh I’m dying” or tap you a on the back and ask you for an aspirin, i; This would make everybody laugh, but t I dear diary, how could some one laugh s when one was dying. Maybe it was c 'just a joke, I don’t know.
And so it was all thru the night. Few ti ; slept for much had to be done before b j Ely was reached. Stops had to be regis- b | tered and announcements had to be o

Strabane, Pa. — Dear Diary, I know you will excuse the extra load on your pafe'ss just this one time for it is a very extra special occasion. Yes, the much talked about SSCU vacation has just concluded and I must put on record as much as I can remember after such a swell time. You see, so many happy memories are all trying to get out for airing that I must ask you to bear a heavier load than yoif are usually accustomed 1 to, but I know you won’t mind for just think of all the extra swell people will be noted on you/.' pages.
Yes, Diary, I’ll just say that a swell group met me at the Pennsylvania Station in Pittsburgh to begin the most ■wonderful journey any person ever took. From my home I made the trip with Veronica Barbie, a swell little girl that wrote many interesting articles in one of your family’s pages. Also with pe was one Eddie Mikec, the treasurer of the beloved Sentinels and a fine and jolly lad. We first traveled to Meadow Lands to pick up the sweetheart of our trip, little Jacqueline Schimmel. And by the wray, dear diary, please note that somewhere between Chicago and Duluth, Minnesota, little Jackie had her twelfth birthday and I was inconsiderate enough to awake her from her slumbers just after midnight past and Sipg to her a very happy birthday. Oh I know I should be spanked for it but you see, I was very mischievous at the time. Ann Prosen reminded me of the great occasion and somehow I just couldn't persuade old Satan to behave. He just pushed until I found myself in front of the sleeping beauty and before I knew what I was doing', he made me awake the sleeping beauty with a kiss.
Okay, diary, I'll get on but I had to mention this here so as not to forget it. As we arrived at the station, our first companions to greet tts were the Conemaugh boys. They were rather slcjepy for they both traveled from five-thirty in the morning, but still Max Fink and Louis Omer greeted us with a very friendly smile. Into the station we went and there they were. Well, most of them were there and just be-: fore we left, there were. Oh, yes, you 1 want to know who they were. Sure Diary, I’ll tell you for one was just as sweet as the other. First our dear little, honey from Moon Run, Theresa Macek. Right from the start I knew she would | give me a lovely time by the lobk in her eyes. She had the twinkle of a mis- j chievous elk that warned you that fun was her most important issue on deck. Greetings over, we looked around and i found Frances Prah ready to start for1 Ely. Frances hailed from Uniontown but proved rather intelligent by mak- ‘ ilig the tfip earlier to Pittsburgh and testing at the home of |>er aunt. Prom j Center Pr>. . #11 HvrirTi Kovnrick sil i shined up and full of smiles. Add then; came the Export delegation. What a fine group we saw whrfn our eyes spot-! ted William Kuznik and brother Louis, j Ralph Kovacic and Victor Scarton. Right then Dear Diary, you must have! warned me to be on my toes for this sure was a crafty group. They caused 1 me to lose much sleep on the ride but since it was all in fun, and fun that I wouldn’t miss for all the gold in the world, please excuse them diary. They j were swell and helped to make the ride ’ very exciting for I never knew when I would be slapped with a glass of cold water. Then as we were about to check on the attend’ance, William Stavor, my! old brother member of the Electrons,: showed himself to help the attendance.' Will was all set and proved it “by his fun and help on the way. As I was; checking over the attendance to make sure no one was left out of the fun,| Zowie, I was hit a wallop across the j back. Yes, diary, I knew without looking that Robert Jurgel arrived and checked his attendance. With him was his dad ] and mother ready to bid us good-bye. j I asked Bob if Francis Sneler had ar-' rived and sure enough .there he was beaming and smiling as if his hated \ relative died and willed him more money ' than you and I knew existed. With! Francis was his mother telling Francis to behave and bidding us all a very! happy journey. That about checked j everybody in for Mary Milavec left j earlier with her husband, Andy Milavec ! who had to attend the semi-annual j meeting of the supreme board. But you I know diary, when I checked over the j attendance, two of the Pittsburgh dele- ! gation was still absent. Train time was; due and I promised I wouldn’t disturb my neatly plastered hair but what else could a fella do. You would do the same diary for the absentees were Mary Bodack, the genial ehairlady of the past tourney dinners and Francis Arch, the smiling son of our medical examiner. You see, dear diary, Mr. and Mrs. Arch were already in Ely awaiting the arrival of their son so I just had to see that he arrived safely. But as time flew by as it always does, there was no Francis. What could I do but call his home and see if he was still sleeping. A hurried call to the Arch homestead was answered by the cheerful voice of Isabel, whom we later met at the station on the return trip home. She told, me that Francis left and so would we j be left if we didn’t hurry for Francis \ couldn’t wait and started one day | earlier. I didn't blame him, dear diary, for as we found out later. Francis was the smartest boy in the delegation. Yes, he left earlier and had more to enjoy, didn’t he Mary Petritz. Yes, diary, she's of the delegation but for further information you must see Doc. Arch Jr.
That checked everybody but Mary Bodack. By this time, my hair was 1 everywhere but where it belonged and ; -Mr. Becker of the Pen'nsylvania divi- j sion suggested that we start for the train and one of the station boys would see to it that she got the train when ! i she arrived. What else could we do but : start and believe that one of the happy i

bodo naši društveni prispevki vedno točno plačani, in pa, da dobimo v dobro podporno organizacijo vse naše sorodnike in prijatelje, dokler so zdravi in sposobni za pristop. Nihče namreč ne ve, kdaj in kje ga nesreča čaka.
Pokojnemu sobratu Louisu Grantzu naj bo ohranjen blag spomin, .žalujočim ostalim pa naj bo v imenu društva izraženo iskreno sožalje! — Za društvo št. 171 JSKJ:
Tomo Simrak, tajnik.
Chicago, III. — Ko bodo člani in članice društva Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ, prejeli današnjo izdajo našega glasila, bo seja za mcsec avgust že za nami. Zato prosim tem potom člane in članice, da bolj redno plačujejo svoje asesmente. Po navadi, ko pride zadnji dan v mesecu, nimam niti polovico asesmenta skupaj, pa nQ vem, ali bi šla kolektat okoli ali bi čakala na asesment doma. Na glavnem uradu zahtevajo točnost od društev, prav kakor mi pri društvih zahtevamo točnost od glavnega urada, oziroma, da dobimo od Jednote točno, kar nam pripada. To pomeni, da je tudi naša dolžnost, da smo točni. Jaz nerada opominjam člane in članice na njihove dolžnosti napram društvu, pa ni druge pomoči, želim, da prizadeti moj opomin upoštevajo.
Tem potom naznanjam tudi, da se v Chicagu že pridno pripravljamo na izlet v Milwaukee, Wis., kjer bo 1. oktobra zborovala federacija društev JSKJ za Illinois in Wisconsin. Naša federacija je stara šele leto dni, pa ima pokazati že lep napredek. Upam, da se nam v bližnji bodočnosti pridružijo tudi društva, ki se doslej še niso priglasila.
Ker som bila že večkrat vprašana, kdaj bodo chicaška društva JSKJ spet priredila kakšno veselico, naj tem potom poročam, da so priprave za jesensko veselico v polnem teku. Veselica z bogatim vzporedom, ki bo vključeval tudi igro in petje, se bo vršila ob prvi obletnici federacije društev'JSKJ, to je 22. oktobra, v dvorani SNPJ na So. Lawndale Ave. Kdor se je udeležil nstše veselice lanskega oktobra, se gotovo spominja, kako so bili posetniki zadovoljni s programom. Letos pa si je veselični odbor vzel za nalogo, da mora biti program še lepši in zanimivejši kot lani. Vse rojake in rojakinje iz Chicaga in bližnjih naselbin že danes pozivam, da si rezervirajo dan 22. oktobra za poset te prireditve. Vstopnice v predprodaji so po 30 centov, na dan prireditve pri vratih pa bodo po 40 centov. Priporočljivo je torej, da si vstopnice v naprej preskrbite; prvič zato, ker so cenejše .drugič pa zato, da gotovo ne zamudite te prireditve. Postrežba bo prvovrstna in godba bo v zgornji in spodnji dvorani. Sestrski pozdrav! — Za društvo Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ:
Agnes Jurečič, tajnica.
Chicago, lil. — članom in članicam društva Jugoslovanski zvon, št. 70 JSKJ, naznanjam, da je dne 30. julija nagle smrti umrla sosestra Mary Roseman. Pokopali smo jo dne 3. avgusta po katoliškem obredu. Vsak član, ki je prihajal na naše seje, jo je lahko poznal, ker ona je bila edina članica našega društva, ki se je redno udeleževala mesečnih sej, čeravno je živela 5 milj oddaljeno od zborovalnih prostorov. Bila je tudi točna s plačevanjem svojih društvenih prispevkov. Podpisani sem že 7 let tajnik tega društva in kot :ak vem, da pokojnica ni nikoli iaostala z asesmenti, dasiravno je plačevala za štiri v družini. Bodi ji ohranjen blag spomin!
Na zadnji seji so bili prečita-

imela priliko videti rojstno me- j t i sto naše Jednote ter se seznaniti , is tolikim številom mladinskih ^ in atletičnih delegatov in tudi; z glavnimi uradniki. Pravi, da : 1 I lepih dni ne bo nikoli pozabila.; Sestrski pozdrav! — Za društvo i št. 233 JSKJ:	•

Struthers, O. — člani društva c jCardinals, št. 229 JSKJ so zad- c nje čase čudno zaspani. Kdaj se 1 jih je ta bolezen prijela, ne ve- 1 mo. Istotako tudi ne vemo, če bo ‘c treba klicati zdravnika. Na vsak način pa bi bil dobrodošel nekdo, ki bi te zaspane člane zbrihtal, vsaj toliko, da bi mogli priti en- ^ krat na mesec na sejo svojega društva. Poset zadnje seje je bil i slab, da se milo izrazim. Upam, da se prihodnje seje udeležijo ( ; člani in članice stoprocentno.
Društvo Cardinals se želi tem potom zahvaliti bratskemu dru- ] j štvu št. 44 JSKJ v Barbertonu, 1 O., in drugim bratskim društ- i vom ter prijateljem iz tega me- ; sta in okoliških naselbin za po- -i set našega piknika. Pripomogli so s svojim posetom, da je bil piknik uspešen, kljub deževnemu vremenu. Atracija piknika je bil dvojni baseball. V obeh s tekmah so zmagali igralci dru- j štva Cardinals. Na obeh straneh | so bili izborni igralci. Le tako naprej! — Za društvo Cardi-| nals, št. 229 JSKJ :

  \
Moon Run, Pa. — članom in članicam društva Sv. Frančiška, j št. 99 JSKJ, naznanjam, da se i bo vršila naša redna mesečna se-! ja v nedeljo 20. avgusta. Vršila I se bo. v navadnih prostorih in se bo pričela ob 1. uri popoldne, želeti je, da se članstvo udeleži i te seje polnoštevilno.
1 šestmesečna kampanja pri naši Jednoti je za nami ,in, kot ■jsmo čitali v Novi Dobi, je bila .j prav uspešna. Tudi naše dru-■ i štvo št. 99 JSKJ je nekoliko pri-> pomoglo k dobremu uspehu te • kampanje. Lepa hvala vsem članom in članicam, ki so pripomogli, da se je v tej kampanji pri našem društvu število članstva zadovoljivo pomnožilo v odraslem, posebno pa v mladinskem oddelku. Posebej pa še hvala staršem, ki so dali vpisati svoje otroke v naše društvo. Naj bodo zagotovljeni, da so zavarovani pri dobri, močni in pošteni organizaciji. Le tako naprej, člani in članice. Jednota vedno potrebuje nove člane in ljudje vedno potrebujejo zavarovanje.
Poletje naglo beži proti jeseni in kmalu bo sezona piknikov za nami. Da je ne zamudimo popolnoma, smo članice tukajšnjega Gospodinjskega kluba sklenile prirediti naš letni piknik v nedeljo 20. avgusta. Vršil se bo na prijaznem gričku Portmans Grove. Za vso postrežbo bo dobro poskrbljeno, istotako tudi |za dobro godbo. Vsi rojaki in rojakinje tega okrožja so prijazno vabljeni na poset..
Frances Koritnik, tajnica društva št. 99 JSKJ.
Uniontown, Pa. — Na zadnji seji našega društva Sv. Roka, št. 55 JSKJ, je bil sprejet predlog, da se naša prihodnja seja začne ;eno uro prej kot po navadi, da ise zamorejo člani, kateri tako

(Nadaljevanje s 7. str.)
ni trimesečni in šestmesečni računi. Zdi se pa, da to člane zelo malo zanima. Od' 140 odraslih i ■članov in članic'nas je bilo na seji vsega skupaj 12 članov. Slab je tisti gospodar, ki se ne briga, kaj se godi pri njegovem gospodarstvu; istotako je slab član tisti, ki se ne briga, kako , posluje njegovo društvo. Zato i je bilo na zadnji sepi sklenjeno, da se kaznuje v smislu pravil; i vsakega člana, ki se ne bo udele- j žil mesečnih sej vsaj štirikrat ; na leto.
Tiste člane, ki zaostajajo s svojimi asesmenti, prosim, da naj bodo v bodoče bolj točni v plačevanju. Tajnik ne more za nikogar zakladati iz svojega, iz i društvene blagajne pa tudi ne |sme založiti, razen, ako se pri- >
; zadeti član javi na seji ali pri | i tajniku ter izrazi željo, da se | asesment zanj založi.
člani in članice so vabljeni,! ida se v obilem številu udeležijo ; prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v : soboto 19. avgusta v navadnih | prostorih. Jaz imam za to sejo j j pripravi jene vstopnice za ve-j i selico, katera bo prirejena dne 22. oktobra. Vstopnice j so v predprodaji po 30 centov, pri vraim pa bodo po 40 centov.
J Vsak član našega društva mora i eno vstopnico sam plačati. Kar jih bo dobil več, pa naj jih po J možnosti razproda, želim, da ) člani kar mogoče polnoštevilno ) pridejo na prihodnjo sejo, da j 1 jim ne bo treba pošiljati vstop-j ) nic po pošti. Bratski pozdrav! — ! i Za društvo Jugoslovanski zvon,

} Trinidad, Colo. — List za lis- j j toni pada. Naše društvo Sv. An-) dreja, št. 84 JSKJ, je dne 31. i * julija spet izgubilo enega dobre- j j ga člana. Po kratki bolezni jel 3 namreč preminil sobrat Frank | o Krivec, star 62 let. Zapušča ža-!
H lujočo soprogo in več odraslih ) otrok, ki vsi spadajo v naše dru-1 ) štvo št. 84 JSKJ. Pogreb pokoj-,
^ nika se je vršil 3. avgusta na po- j kopališče v Trinidadu. Njegovo priljubljenost je izpričevala velika udeležba pri pogrebu. Vsem, ki so se pogreba pokojnega sobrata udeležili, naj bo j izrečena najlepša hvala. Pose-J bej naj se zahvalim za udeležbo j pri pogrebu članom unijskega lokala v Morleyu. Naj bo pokojnemu sobratu ohranjen blagi spomin, žalujočim ostalim pa j naj bo v imenu društva izraženo iskreno sožalje. — Za dru-j štvo št. 84 JSKJ:
Jacob Prunk, tajnik, j
Ludlow, Colo. — Najprej mi je sporočiti žalostno vest, da jej naše društvo “Sloga,” št. 233 JSKJ, izgubilo iz svojih vrst, dobrega člana. Dne 30. julija je namreč preminil Ilija Salapich,; ki je bil član našega društva od 14. avgusta 1938, to je od usta-1 novitve našega društva. Bil je izvoljen v nadzorni odbor in se je pri društvu vedno udejstvoval kot dober član, točno pose-čal društvene seje in pomagal kjer koli in kadar koli je bilo potrebno. Društvo ga bo torej težko pogrešalo.
Pokojni sobrat, ki ja bil ob času smrti 22 let star, zapušča žaltijočega očeta Jacka Sala-picha, pet bratov in eno omože-no sestro. Naj mu bo ohranjen blag spomin!
