Pokojnica je bila članica JSKJ okrog 40 let in je umrla v starosti 73 let. Predstavljala je prvega izmed štiri|i rodov pri JSKJ. * V Prestu, Pa., je dne 5. avgusta podlegel pljučnici Peter Se-lišnik, star 55 let, član društva št. 4 JSKJ. Zapušča žalujočo soprogo. * Poset Amerike opisuje v ljubljanskem dnevniku “Jutru” profesor dr. Pavel Brežnik, priznan učenjak in eden učiteljev mladega jugoslovanskega kralja Petra. Profesor Brežnik je pred nekaj tedni obiskal svetovno razstavo v New Yorku, nakar je posetil še ameriško-slovensko metropolo Cleveland. Njegov članek, ki je priobčen v “Jutru” z dne 3. avgusta, se nanaša na New York. Vsebina je zanimiva, se prijetno čita in kaže avtorja kot moža širokih razgledov, odprtih oči, optimizma in dobrega družabnika, kakršnega smo imeli priliko osebno spoznati za časa njegovega obiska v Clevelandu. V LJUDSKO ŠTETJE Prihodnje ljudsko štetje v Zedinjenih državah bo izvedeno v letu 1940. Izvedba istega bo stala zvezno zakladnico okrog 45 milijonov dolarjev. Ureditev praktičnega sistema je že več mesecev v delu. V dveh countyih države Indiane se bo pričelo poskusno ljudsko štetje že ta teden. Ta dva countya vsebujeta večja in mala mesta in mnogo farmskega prebivalstva. Ako se bo sedanji načrt, po katerem se bo vršilo poskusnQ ljudsko štetje, izkazal za praktičnega, bo uveljavljen za pravo ljudsko štetje prihodnjega leta; ako ne, bo popravljen ali izboljšan. (Dalje na 4. strani) VRTNA DELA SEZONE V avgustu in septembru je najboljši čas za ureditev vrtne trate, ako jo je treba na novo zasejati. Travino seme, zdaj posejano, v gorkem vremenu hitro vzkali in mlade rastlinice ! imajo dovolj časa, da se do zime dobro zakoreninijo in potem i dobro prezimijo. Jesensko de-| ževje je tudi ugodno za mlado j trato. Seme popelnov (hollyhock) 'naj se poseje takoj, ko spodnje semenske glavice rastlin dozorijo. V oktobru je že mogoče mlade rastlinice posaditi na stalna ; mesta. Potonke ali peonije je najboljše saditi ali presajati konci j avgusta ali v septembru. V tem času posajene rastline bodo pripravljene za cvetje spomladi. Vedno zelena drevesa in grmiče je najbolje presajati v avgustu in v začetku septembra, ker takrat te rastline “spijo.” Presajene rastline pa je treba dobro zalivati vse do nastopa jesenskega deževja. Stari les malin in ostrožnic je priporočljivo porezati pri tleh, kakor hitro so sadeži obrani; prihodnje leto bodo rodile sadeže letošnje mladike. Porezani stari les naj se nemudoma sežge, da se s tem uniči zalega raznega mrčesa in glivice raznih rastlinskih bolezni. Grmiče večletne plamenke (phlox), ki postajajo preveliki, je priporočljivo izkopati in jih razdeliti na več manjših, nakar se posadijjo na izbrana mesta. V avgustu je čas za posaditi nove gredice jagod (strawberries). Mlade rastline jagod je mogoče kupiti pri trgovskih vrtnarjih že rastoče v malih lončkih. Lahko pa se za novo obsaditev gred rabijo tudi rastlinice, ki so se razvile na vrvicah starih rastlin. Jagode ljubijo gnojno in dobro prekopano zemljo. Novo posajene rastline je treba dobro zalivati vse do deževne jesenske dobe. Na prostem rastoče krizanteme potrebujejo v tem času dosti vode, da bodo mogle v jeseni razviti lepo cvetje. Cvetno popje dalij ali geor-gin radi napadajo razni mrčesi. Marsikateri cvetni popek se ne razvije ali pa se razvije v ska-ženi cvet zaradi mrčesa. Za uničevanje takega mrčesa se priporoča nicotine, pyrethrum extract in rotenone. Cvetje tako zvanih suhih ali slamnatih cvetlic (straw flowers) naj se za zimsko porabo poreže predno se cvetno popje popolnoma odpre. Tako porezano cvetje naj se v malih šopkih s cvetjem navzdol obesi v kakem gorkem, toda zračnem in bolj temačnem prostoru. Znana jesenska in zimska solata endivija, ki je bila na gosto posejana, naj se razsadi po gredah v medsebojni razdalji enega pednja ali več. Sadikam naj se prireže dve retjini korenin in dve tretjini listov. Nizki zgodnji fižol nekateri domači vrtnarji sadijo vse do jeseni, vsaki teden eno vrsto ali primerno gredico. Rastline že v treh tednih po posaditvi napravijo užitno stročje in je ta priljubljena zelenjava na razpolago vse do jesenskih slan. Navadna pomladna solata, a-ko se jo poseje v tem času, navadno zdivja v cvetje, predno je kaj prida porabna za kuhinjo. Kljub temu pa imajo nekateri domači vrtnarji precej uspeha s pomladno solato, ako jo posejejo v septembru, ko postane vreme hladneje, posebno če se v tako svrho izbere kak bolj senčni del vrta. ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV PETDESETLETNICA V Ljubljani se je sredi julija vršil jubilejni zbor predstavnikov vseh slovenskih učiteljskih društev iz dravske banovine. Prva ^učiteljska društva v Sloveniji so bila ustanovljena leta 1889, torej obhaja ta učiteljska stanovska organizacija letos svojo 50-letnico. Govorniki na skupščini so se izražali proti poveličevanju vojne ter za svobodo tiska, govora in misli, za svobodo združevanja in za demokracijo, brez katere si ni mogoče misliti vzgoje. JUBILEJ PISATELJA V Gorici je dne 18. julija letos slavil 60-letnico svojega rojstva slovenski pisatelj Damir Feigel. rojen leta 1879 v Idriji. Pisatelj, ki je po dovršeni gimnaziji študiral pravo na Dunaju, se je odvrnil od odvetniškega poklica in se je posvetil novinarstvu in pisateljevanju. Udejstvoval se je večinoma v Gorici, kjer še zdaj tiho piše svoje povesti. Dosedaj je izšlo kakih 15 njegovih knjig. Damir Feigel je po smrti Murnika in Milčinskega menda edini slovenski pisatelj-humorist. Naj bi bila njegova mehka satira in vedri smeh še dolgo v razvedrilo slovenski duši. NOV VODOVOD Breg pri Kranju so dobile vodovod, ki je bil nedavno slovesno otvorjen. Z zdravstvenega pa tudi s splošno gospodarskega stališča je vodovod velika pridobitev, četudi je prebivalstvo težko preneslo velike stroške izgradnje. Posebno velika pridobitev je vodovod za vas Preddvor, ki se je zadnja leta zaradi svoje lepe lege začela izpreminjati v letovišče. VSAKE VRSTE LJUDJE V Ljubljani se je meseca julija vršil neki verski kongres, katerega so se udeležile velike množice ljudi iz raznih krajev. Take prireditve pa izrabijo tudi razni malopridneži v svoje posebne svrhe. Tako je policija v gneči ljudi, ki je pričakovala prihod kardinala Hlonda, aretirala dolgo iskanega tatu in vlomilca Ivana Kutnerja, ki je bil tisto priliko izrabil za poseganje v tuje žepe. Neka tuja državljanka je tisti čas pustila pri neki družini tri svoje otročičke po 3, 5 in 6 let stare. Na nekem dvorišču pa je bilo najdeno kakih šest tednov staro dete, ki ga je pustila brezsrčna mati. Vse štiri zapuščene otročiče je policija oddala v Dečji dom. SVOJEVRSTNA ZADRUGA V okraju čačka je lepo število zadrug, ki vse uspešno poslujejo. V vasi Trnavi pa je bila ustanovljena zdaj zadruga, ki ima sicer nenavaden, a hvalevreden namen. Pobijati hoče strasti pravdarstva, ki so se močno vgnezdile med kmečkim življem. Zadruga hoče služiti složnemu življenju in delu ter bo imela gospodarski, socialni in prosvetni odsek. Med njenimi pravili pa je tudi točka, ki zahteva od članov zadruge, da morajo vse spore poravnati med seboj pred posebnim razsodiščem, ki ga izvolijo zadružniki, in da ne sme priti nobena sporna zadeva pred sodišče ali pred odvetnika, dokler zadružno razsodišče ne izreče svoje besede. VSAK P0SV0JE Lastnim očem skoro nismo verjeli, ko smo začetkom avgusta čitali v ameriških listih, da sta Nemčija in Italija zahtevali od Jugoslavije, da jima za primer vojne izroči kontrolo vseh svojih železnic, važnih prometnih središč, živeža, vojnega materiala in prost prehod preko iržave v smeri Bolgarije in Ilu-munije. To bi pomenilo sličen ali še hujši “protektorat” kot sta ga deležni Češka in Slovaška. Jugoslovanska vlada pa je na to nesramno zahtevo odgovorila z odločnim “ne” in dostavila, da bo, če treba, branila svojo nevtralnost z orožjem. To je bila po dolgem času prva odločna beseda, ki smo jo slišali iz Jugoslavije. * Žveplo je hud strup, kljub temu pa ga je, po izjavah znanstvenikov, v telesu normalnega človeka okrog dva funta, to je toliko, da bi se z istim lahko zastrupilo 14,000 oseb. Kdo ve, koliko ga je v telesnem sistemu Mussolinija ali Hitlerja! * Neki kolega je nedavno trdil, da so se šli poklonit bivšemu kaprolu Hitlerju že vsi večji in manjši evropski mogotci, od Mussolinija in angleškega premirja Chamberlaina, do bolgarskega cara Borisa, rumunskega kralja Karola, jugoslovanskega regenta Pavla in madžarskega diktatoz ja Horthya. K temu bi se dalo pripomniti, da je trditev uo pi mmm jemo: Stalin, diktator ogromne Rusije, se dozdaj še ni toliko ponižal, da bi šel poljubovat Hitlerjeve copate. * Na ameriških srednjih šolah je leta 1900 študiralo latinščino 50 odstotkov dijakov, danes pa se uči tega jezika le še 16 odstotkov ameriških študentov. ’ Zdi se, da latinska kultura, na katero se signor Mussolini pri vsaki priliki sklicuje, postaja za Američane z vsakim letom manj privlačna. v V Jugoslaviji nimajo prohibicije, toda starokrajski listi poročajo, da se v bitoljskem o-krožju več prebivalcev bavi z varjenjem domačega piva. Te umetnosti da so se možaki naučili v Ameriki za časa prohibicije. To čudno obrt, ki je v Ameriki prišla čisto na psa, so izseljenci prenesli v Jugoslavijo. Po našem mnenju bi bili lahko obdarovali Jugoslavijo s kakim boljšim ameriškim izumom. * Po neki statistiki se mnogo več ljudi podaja na pot ob sobotah kot ob petkih. Na prvi pogled se to zdi kot praznoverje, pa ni. Vsaj pri tistih ne, ki dobivajo tedenske plače šele ob sobotah. * Blizu mesta Nashville, Tenn., živi 81 let , stari farmer C. C. Neely, ki je bil do nedavnega zelo ponosen na svojo tri čevlje dolgo brado. Pa so ga neki večer dobili v roke divjaški navihanci in so mu njegov kosmati ponos gladko odstrigli. Mož se je razjarjen podal na krvavo rihto in sodišče mu je prisodilo $100 odškodnine za zaplenjene kocine. Prav za prav to ni dosti, če pomislimo, da jih je negoval najmanj pol stoletja. Po taki ceni se gojitev tovrstnih farmskih pridelkov res ne izplača. v Sobrat Martin Hudale mi je nedavno poslal kot odpustek z nekega pennsylvanskega pikni-(Dalje na 4. strani) ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. um...................... niiiiniiiiitQ m MLADINSKI ODDELEK - JUVENILE DEPARTMENT » I llllirilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIlllllllllllllllllHilllilUllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllMlillllllllllllltlUiUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllUUIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllim^^^ A llliu” SKINNY, THE HUMAN OSTRICH MODRA SOVA STINGING TREES In the southern part of Formosa grows a tree about ten feet in height having long leaves which possess the property of the nettle and produce a maddening irritation of the skin when incautiously touched. The natives call it “chiaojenkou,” meaning “man-biting dog.” Scientists who have made a study of the tree have renamed it the “viper tree.” There is another species of stinging tree in Australia which attains a height of fifteen feet, and the effect of whose touch appears to be even more maddening to men and animals. Horses stung by it have to be shot, and dogs affected by the poison of the leaves run about whining and biting themselves. Manko Golar: PESMICA O MAJDI Ko z-ezde so iz posteljice vstale in noč se temna v dalji je zbudila, že sanja Majda v posteljici mehki, uspavanko ji poje z gozda vila. In poje Majdiči s srebrnim glasom, o škratkih majhnih bajke ji šepeče, — a zujiaj se sprehaja mesečina in zvezdam boža ličece blesteče. Zdaj skozi okno k Majdiči se skloni in kodrčke poljublja pridne Majde, in z vilo raja mesečina v noči, doki' r za goro biserno ne zajde.

Then you must give 1 closest attention. Mr. Towner scratched his head, s screwed his month out of shape and c winced as if undecided where to be- a gin. * v “Ostriches,” he commenced very slow- |, ly, “can kick powerfully hard. They havo very strong muscles. That’s what \ mates them run so fast. But the queer- t est thing is that when pursued they will j n sticl: their heads in the sand and imag- c ine that no one can see them." t The boys looked at each other efts-'t g us ted. | s “Aw, dad!” protested Carl. “We want' m to hear a baseball story. We don’t care t for ostriches. We learn about such y things at school.” I "That’s all right, son,” replied Mr. j Towner. ‘‘Just hold your horses. This is £ a baseball story and I just want you to t remember that fact about the ostriches, t It is necessary to my story.” 1 Carl and John began to feel that Mr.: Towner was playing a joke on them, t but said nothing and listened attentive- j ly- “Well, now, if you’ll remember what 11 I said about ostriches,” continued Mr. j \ Towner, "we’ll proceed. Skinny Brown j was a pitcher on the Cloverhill Club. ( He was just an ordinary pitcher and i managed to win about half his games. The season was almost over when Skin-: ] ny and some other members of the club went out to the park zoo one morning. To pass away the time they stopped at each of the cages, viewing the various! { animals with much amusement and ; jesting, as characteristic of baseball i players. “When they came to the ostrich enclosure and were watching the tall, ungainly creatures, one of the players, full of mischief, threw Skinny Brown's j hat over the fence. Skinny, never real- ! izing the danger, leaped over the fence into the enclosure, bent on rescuing his j hat. But he never reached it. One of the ostriches took offense at the intrusion and kicked him a good hard rap, squarely on the top of the head. Skinny keeled over, unconscious. “Aw,” escaped from both boys involuntarily. “Did it kill Skinny?" asked John. "No replied his uncle. “It did not. He was hustled to a hospital, and though the doctors called it a severe case, he was out of the hospital within three days. When the players asked him how he felt he replied that he nfever felt better in his life, though he admitted he did feel a little queer in his head sometimes. “Skinny returned to the ball field but did not pitch for a few days for the] manager said he wanted Skinny to be fully recovered before he started a game. To keep his arm in shape, Skinny pitched to the second-string catcher, warming up in case one of the pitchers should ‘aviate.’ You boys know what ‘aviate’ means, don’t you?” ‘‘Sure,” replied Carl, confidently. “It means being pounded all over the lot." It was evident that both boys knew baseball to perfection. "The queer part of it was." continued Mr. Towner, “that the catcher who did the receiving for Skinny in the warming pen complained to the pitcher that he was throwing too hard. ‘‘What’s the use of putting so much speed on the ball?” asked the catcher. “If you throw like this in practice you’ll not have enough steam to start a game.” “ ‘I’m not throwing hard, replied Skinny. 'I'm just lobbing them over.’ “ And Skinny meant it. He was actually throwing easy, but for some mysteri- balls and dropped third strikes. As a ( result, the home fans were bewailing their hard luck when Cloverhill came to bat in the ninth inning two runs be- J hind. , “The ursc man up cracked out a j single to right. The next man sacrificed , Skinny was up next and responded with ;, a crash double to center. He was ad- < vanced to third on an infield out. Now , let Skinny tell the rest himself: “ ‘I felt that queer sensation in my ; head. For some reason or other I got the idea I was an ostrich. As I waited , at third I felt like eating the sack, saw- j dust and all. Jimmy, the next man up. beat out a safe hit to second. As I, ■ started for home, the second baseman' ' shot the ball to the catcher. I saw him waiting there with the ball, so I ran back towards third and the baseman j had the ball there waiting for me. When I saw myself surrounded by the enemy I just naturally was scared plum crazy. So what did I do but kneel down and try to poke my head in the sand and that filled the running path! Oh, Oh, I’ll never forget it!” “So you can imagine how badly Skin-ny felt, losing the ball game 2 to 1, just because he acted like an ostrich.” “What became of Skinny?” asked ! John, who had been much impressed i with the story. “Oh. he’s still pitching, but he’s quit trying to be an ostrich, both in arm and j head.” There was silence a few seconds. ; Presently Carl said to his cousin: “Do you believe that story, John?” “No, I don't. Do you, Uncle Bill?” “Oh, come now, boys. Next time we ■ go to Cloverhill I’ll take you out to the zoo and show you the very ostrich. Now run along and don’t bother me.” THE STREAM ________________ Sometimes I love to sit and dream ! Beside the little grassy stream That runs below the house and goes To where I'm sure nobody knows. Beneath the maple's arching roots Its shallow tinkling current shoots. Beneath the ferns as tall as me. And then goes looking for the sea. i Just where I sit magnolias bloom And scent the pale-green leafy gloom : And sunlight tries in vain to send Its rays the coolness there to end. Out thro' a leafless branch I still Can see my house up on the hill. And watch the smoke-wreaths float in crowds Up from the t kitchen to the clouds. Above my head the catbirds’ nest Holds four blue eggs—I think it’s best That I should guard it day by day To keep the big black snake away. Last year he robbed the nest, and oh, The little birds were sad I know. But they have nothing now to fear For I will guard their home so dear. And while on duty I remain Of weariness I can’t complain, So many friends keep watch wjth me I’m happy as a child can be. Sometimes the frogs in green and brown Hop from the stream and nestle dqwn Close by, and sometimes from his tower Oh, how I love to sit and dream Beside the little grassy stream! I’m sure until it finds the sea The little stream remembers me. Perhaps it tells the ocean, too, About the little fellow who So often spends among its flow'rs The dreamy, drowsy summer hours.1 & OTKUB HE ft I ^IWA, MAMaXAAJ- (To be colored with paints or crayons.

DEAR EDITOR: ' I suppose that you all read about the meteor that fell on Detroit on Tuesday, July 11th. There really wasn’t much to it, just a sudden flash of blazing light rolling down the sky, and about ten minutes later, a quick jar of the earth. It could not have been very big because astronomers at the University of Detroit didn’t even see it. On July 15, the Brigadiers and the Triglav lodges held a’picnic at Ryan Park. They had free dancing and a good orchestra. Unfortunately, the crowd was not as large as anticipated. Delegates to the third biennial juvenile convention had a good time. Someday I hope to be fortunate enough to go, too. The Michigan State Fair will open soon. I’m sure to go. The State Fair out here really is a great exhibition. That’s about all for this time. Anna Hiti (Age: 12) No. 144, SSCU PITTSBURGH, PA. DEAR EDITOR: Thank you very much for the dollar check that was awarded to me for my previous article. I was very happy to have received it. Following is an original story which I am submitting for publication. THEY MUST HAVE ADVENTURE Princess Lorenna de Castennes was different from other princesses. She disliked being a princess, adored and petted by all the court ladies and gentlemen. It didn’t appeal to her. She yearned for rugged adventure as one oi the court pages had had at sea before he was brought to serve here in the spacious palace of the Castennes. It was early morning. The sun had risen over the distant horizon. Lorenna already up, had gone to the gardens with her maid, Hilda. She was saying “Oh, Hilda, such a boring world I live in. Nothing to amuse me but those tiresome balls, banquets and once in a s while horse-back riding which I mighl enjoy if there wouldn’t be so many escorts waiting around on me.” “Ah,’ = broke in Hilda, “but you understanc that it is risky to go riding alone through the forest. You know that our people would not want you to fall prey to kidnappers!” So they talked until Loren-11 na, suggested they go in to breakfast. Meanwhile, far away in the depth: t of the forest, where little sun shone two conspirators talked in hushec s tones. To the people of the village thei a were a menace. Their frequent kidnap-b 1 ings and burglaries upset the peace o: e! the village. Now they were plotting t( a j kidnap Princess Lorenna. The leade; - j of the two said, “Tomorrow, Razzin, w< - will steal to the palace. Her room i: a ! luckily on the second floor to which i - j trellis leads.” Razzin listened to Dragn( it 1 intenly, his eyes gleaming cruelly a J Gloating in their conspiracy, their hi &-1 deous laughter rang through the for 1 est. h j The time of the plot arrived. Unfor ! tunately Lorenna had stolen alone t( ~! the gardens. Back in the luxuriou ! shrubbery the two saw and Razzin re j marked, “It is good. We won’t have t< ! climb to her room.” Dragno merel; j said, “Come,” and then they stealthil; strode to where Lorenna sat. It all hap ! pened in a moment! Before she ha( : time to scream, a rough hand wa clapped over her mouth. Hastily sh< i was tied and gagged, then strapped ti i a horse. All through the night the; rode, further and further away whili : the sleeping village slept on. ! But Fate had decided to take a hand : Hilda, suffering from a headache, ha< I gone to get a remedy when in the still ! ness of the night she heard hoof beats 1 She ran to a window and giving ; stifled exclamation, espied Lorenna’ I shawl on the ground. She ran to Loren 1 na’s room, discovered it empty, gavi the alarm, and within an hour the en tire village knew the Princess wa, gone. Bands of men were sent out t< search. One of the guards discovered ; ransome note. It was answered but shi was not returned. The court was fran tic! Far away in a distant village the tw< had brought Lorenna. Several days o ill treatment had made her bitter. Afte i a week had passed she decided to es ; cape. While they were sleeping afte: excessive drinking Lorenna escaped After trudging for hours she heard hoo beats. Thinking it to be Dragno ant Razzin she hid. It proved to be the pal ace guards. They were indeed relievec and joyous to have found her. Shi guided them to the camp of Dragno The two were taken prisoner and al started back to the Palace. ;It was the next day. Bright and earli Lorenna had gone to the gardens wit! Hilda. She said, “Well, even though mj life was in danger, I certainly had ar exciting adventure.” Hilda replied, “Adventure ! You had the entire village frantic.” Then they both broke out ir . happy laughter, thankful that Dragn( and Razzin were prisoners, and tha' |f the event was a thing of the past. Mary Zugell (Age: 15 s No. 26, SSCt BARBERTON, O k DEAR EDITOR: ls School is going to start again and 1 am glad. I was on a picnic July 21st ai Chippewa Lake. Everything was fre( s overe there. I was there all afternoon and yet I wanted to stay all night. 1 e went on one thing after another. Ovei at the picnic I met Josephine Cern< cular being derived from the Latin word “canis,” meaning dog. The word “dog” plays an important part in the English language. “Dogged” means “with obstinate resolution,” as indicating that a person sticks to a thing as persistently as a dog. The verb “to dog,” means “to hunt or track like a hound.” “Dog-eared,” as applied to a book, indicates that the leaves are turned down from careless use, their appearance suggesting the drooping ears of a dog. A “dogcart” was so called because this form of vehicle was first used by English sportsmen, and had a box at the back for carrying dogs. “Throwing things to the dogs” and “going to the dogs’ ’are slang terms which have come into good usage. Many people associate the dogdays of midsummer with dogs mad and otherwise. The truth of the thing, however, is that dogs and dogdays have nothing to do.\v;lh- each other. The origin of the name of this stretch of hot weather is connected with Sirius, the Dog Star, rather than with the dogs of the earth. The use of the name came about from the fact that ancient astronomers figured that during this period the Dog Star rose in the heaven each day at the same time the sun rose. The fact that the two rose at the same time was regarded as responsible for the sultry heat of sumsper and for the illness resulting. Orginally the period was called “canicular days,” the word cani- fjp JA- wutions From r Members j j Cminue* from page 2 J read the interest- ® ^thlsisa fi^e °ther Juveniles.

Rose Koprivnik No. 1, SSCU PITTSBURGH, PA. DEAR EDITOR: Whew, whafeta week, whatta week! i And the week I am so describing is the week I just spent in that wonderful city of Ely, Minn., as a delegate to the Third j National Juvenile Convention. It all started on the bright, sunny | morning of August 2, when my family and I entered the Pennsylvania station, in downtown Pittsburgh and there met Stan Progar who was busily counting and recounting the number of juvenile and athletic conference delegates who were supposed to be there. During the next half hour the delegates kept coming in and about 15 minutes before train time only one delegate was missing, namely Francis Arch, the son of our Supreme Medical Examiner, Doctor Arch; so Stan went to the phone booths and called up Doctor.Arch’s residence, then to his amazement he found out that Francis had got his traveling instructions mixed up and had left the day before! So hoping that Francis would arrive in Ely safely, all the delegates boarded the train at 8:30. After putting our baggage on the racks and seating ourselves, we delegates started to get acquainted. In all there were 17 delegates to the Juvenile Convention and the Athletic Conference. They were: Stan Progar, “George” Mikec and Veronica Barbie of Stra-bane, Ralph Kavacic, Wm. Kuznik, Louis Kuznik and Victor Scarton of Export, Max Fink and Louis Omer of Conemaugh, Jackie Schimmel of Mea-dowlands, Frances Prah of Uniontown, Hugh Kovarick of Center, Theresa Ma-kec of Moon Run and Mrs. Mary Bo-dack, Francis Sneler and myself from Pittsburgh and last but not least Wm. Stavor of Cheswick. Then the conductor cried “All aboard” and the engine slowly puffed and snorted out of the station and we were on our way to Chicago. At the beginning of the trip the delegates seemed restless, but soon card games and other forms of enjoyment started and soon all the delegates were talking, laughing and singing. Then the hours started to pass quickly and soon the conductor called, “Chicago next stop.” All the delegates gleefully pulled down their bags and anxiously awaited the stopping of the train. When the train stopped we all piled out into the huge station. There we were met by a representative of the railroad and he escorted us to the Parmalee Transfer Station at the base of the Terminal. Then we piled into the huge 12-seat cabs and were speedily transferred to the Chicago and Northwestern Station. There we all separated in search of a good meal. Soon after we met the Ohio delegation together with Joe Oblock of Chicago and Joe Banich of Indianapolis. About 10 minutes later we boarded the train and soon we were off for Duluth. Again quiet ensued until the two delegations got together with the help of A1 Jelercic’s witty and clever remarks, which had everyone laughing. Then I met those two unsurpassable contributors to the Nova Doba from Cleveland, Elsie Mary Desmond and Anne Prosen. I am sure that everyone like myself, eagerly await all the contributions sent in by these two delegates. Then all the Pennsylvania delegates met and decided that each one of them pitch in a dollar to a fund which in turn would be given to the delegate who stayed up the longest that night. But this condition was added; that if two or more stayed awake that no one should get the money and that it should be given back to those who contributed. Everyone thought that he would be the one who would get the money and it was loads of fun to watch some of the delegates start to nod their heads and then suddenly start up when they realized that they were falling asleep. But soon sleep overcame them and when we reached Madison, Wis., to pick up Eleanor Lange, about one-half of !the delegates were asleep. About 2 in the morning Stan Progar and I were the only ones who were awake from the Pennsylvania delegation. But suddenly Stan realized that “George” Mikec was missing so we started to hunt for him. Soon Stan gave a well and there stretched across two seats in the lounge was George sound asleep. Then dawn began to break and the delegates started to stir and then awaken. Then all had a good laugh at Stan and I because neither of us won the money and we were both so sleepy that we could hardly keep our eyes open. But then we realized that it was Jackie Schimmel’s birthday and soon the air was full of birthday congratulations; then around 7:30 we entered Duluth and there we met the Western delegation and Little Stan. Everyone expected him to be a short fellow instead of a tall strapping fellow. We all boarded the Ely train and when Little Stan started singing some popular Slovene and English numbers, everyone joined in and had a swell time. Then 4 hours later .after picking up Irene Pavlich of Tower, we reached Ely and there we heard the music of the Ely High School Band. Elsie Desmond greeted Mr. Zbasnik as the voice of the delegates and Helen Okoren gave him a bouquet of flowers. After having our baggage loaded on the truck we paraded through the streets to the hom« office. And there at the home of-fic we met Francis Arch who had arrived the previous day. Then all the delegates were assigned to private I homes, I being assigned to the home j of Joseph Mantel, First Supreme Vice-President. There I had a fine meal prepared by Mrs. Mantel and then at 3 that afternoon we had a preliminary meeting of the juvenile convention. The next day at 9 the Third National Juvenile Convention was officially opened. The biggest event of the convention was when Mr. Louis Adamic, the great American-Slovene writer, was introduced to the convention by Mr. Zbas-i nik. Mr. Adamic made a short informal talk in which he said that we delegates, being of Slovene birth and American citizens, should not be ashamed of our Slovene parentage and that we should step forward into the world and acclaim a position for ourselves. I believe that Mr. Adamic practices what he preaches because he is the finest example of the type of Slovene he describes above so adequately. He had to overcome obstacles greater than those which we probably ever have to overcome and now he is the greatest Ameri-| can-Slovene writer in the world and one of America’s best living authors. After Mr. Adamic’s talk, a motion was ! introduced on the floor that copies of ; the talk be made and personally signed by Mr. Adamic. Then these autographed copies were distributed among the delegates as a priceless memoir of the con-i vention. Then after disposing of the rest of the convention business, the convention was adjourned. ] At 2 o’clock that afternoon we all j piled into buses and were off to Tower j to the boat, which in turn would take us to see the Indian Reservation. After a delightful ride across the broad and beautiful Lake Vermillion we reached ; the reservation. There the Indians j started to dance and when everyone joined in we all had a swell time. After the dance we all went outside and got some pictures. But the boat whistle blows and everyone has to leave. Back across the broad lake we chugged to Tower, loaded on to the busses and returned to Ely. That night we all went to the beautyful $250,000 Community Center, a building which has the most modernistic qualities. On Saturday morning the Second National Athletic Conference was officially opened and Stan Progar was elected chairman. After an interesting session the convention was adjourned around 12 o’clock. Saturday afternoon we went sightseeing around Ely. That night everyone had a good time at the street dance in front of the Forest Hotel and the music was furnished by the Ely Municipal Band. On Sunday morning some of the delegates went to church and that afternoon we again piled into the busses, but this time we went to the picnic which was being held at Sandy Point by the SSCU. At the picnic the main speaker was Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota and all of the delegates had the pleasure of shaking hands and getting the governor’s autograph. Mr. Louis Adamic again spoke at the picnic. That night everyone had a swell time dancing to the music of Frankie Kromar and his band. On Monday morning everyone began to pack and hearts started to get heavy. Then that dreaded hour, 2 o’clock came, and tears flowed steadily as the engine puffed slowly out of the station. When we reached Allen Junction we all said good bye to Irene Pavlich and at 7:30 we reached Duluth. Here we tried to crowd as much conversation between train times as we possibly could, because it was at Duluth that we were to leave the Western delegation. So at 8:15 the Western delegation was at the station to say good-bye and again tears flowed freely. Now for that long ride to Chicago! Around 11 o’clock someone yelled: “there’s an Indian loose in the coach!” But it wasn’t an Indian. Joe Oblock of Chicago had made the mistake of falling asleep and during his short nap he had been painted up with lip-stick, rouge, fingernail polish etc., so we all had a good laugh at Joe’s expense. At Milwaukee we left off Eleanor Lange and Emil Zebre and at Chicago we parted from the Ohio delegation. Then with heavy hearts we boarded the train for Pittsburgh and after an uneventful trip we arrived W Pittsburgh at 8:19. So ends the most wonderful and exciting week I have ever spent and probably ever will spend, and I just can’t find the right words to thank the SSCU enough. A Pennsylvania delegate. Robert Jurgel, No. 26, SSCU j their favorite swimming hole once again. Later in the day a few sprinkles of i rain came and Tony and the group of boys began jumping up and down with joy and before they knew it, it was pouring but they didn’t mind it. Never again did Tony say he didn’t care for rain for now he knew what it meant ! to be without rain for a long time. Violet Widgay (Age: 15) No. 89, SSCU CLEVELAND, O. DEAR EDITOR: Here I am writing again. I had a swell time listening to the stories my sister told me about the things she saw and the things that happened on her way to Ely,/Minn. She told them so plainly that I could just imagine I was there. Why don’t you read her letters and find out the things that she told me. Then you can pretend like I did that I was there with her. My mother says we will both have to try to go to the next convention. Then I would be telling stories and not only listening. I bet some will even envy those who went to Ely when they read about the trip. My sister brought home many souvenirs. How funny some things seem. Here are some of the things she brought home: A leaf from the bouquet in the lobby of the Forest Hotel, several folders from the places she visited, a big button from the Commercial Club, an Indian penny, a book, a pretty little thermometer, a little luck charm, a candy monkey ball, a bar of soap, a couple of autograph books, some tiny coal pails, pictures for the wall. Some of the nicest and most interesting souvenirs were newspapers from the different cities, Duluth, Tower, Two Harbors, Chicago, Ely, and Minneapolis. Last month I gave you my first book report; this week I will give you the second entitled “Quicksilver Sue” by Laura E. Richards. This book tells about a poor girl named Sue who left her old chum Mary to become the friend of a very rich girl Clarice who came to their city to live in the hotel. Mary felt bad because she lost a good friend. Sue however, enjoyed the company of her new friend even though she felt pretty sorry that she was no longer a friend of Mary’s. The most exciting part is where Sue and Clarice go to the Circus. Clarice wore much jewelry but Sue had to be satisfied without any. After the main circus performance the girls decide to see some side-shows. They enjoyed these very much but when the time came to pay for the shows the girls found that they had been robbed. The keeper takes the girls to his wife who takes all the jewelry from Clarice in payment for their admission. Clarice felt the lady took too much from her but she could do nothing when the lady said she would call the police. So the two girls had to leave the grounds without money or jewelry. When they get to the railroad station they find that the train had left. Not knowing what to do they start to walk home. Clarice who was not accustomed to walking soon tell down tired. The story ends when Sue’s two brothers find them beside the road, and take them home safely. Florence Prosen (Age: 11) NO. 173, SSCU GOWANDA, N. Y. DEAR EDITOR: First of all I wish to thank you for the one dollar check. It sure will be put in use as soon as school rolls around the corner. Now that I’m talking about school I believe the juveniles can just about wait for it to open next month. Here is a short story entitled “The Summer Drought.” Tony never liked rain because every year when the family went out to the country on a picnic it usually rained. This year was unusually dry and as they passed through the country, the grass was all burned and the crops were drying rapidly. Soon Tony was getting thirsty and the family stopped at a farmer’s house for a drink of water but they didn’t get any water for the farmer told them that the well had gone dry this morning. Now Tony began realizing what happens when their isn’t rain for a long time. \ Soon they reached the spot where they were going to have the picnic. After they ate their lunch they planned to take a walk and later take a little swim. When they reached the swimming hole, instead of finding a large pool of water they found a dried-up hole. A little way down they found a group of boys praying for rain so that they may swim in DEAR EDITOR: CHISHOLM, MINN. I wish to take this fine opportunity to thank Bro. Anton Zbasnik, the remaining members of the supreme board and all the rest who aided me in coming to Ely to attend the third juvenile convention. I had a wonderful time and I know that all other delegates enjoyed themselves also. I was very much thrilled at meeting Mr. Louis Adamic, the author, and Governor Harold E. Stassen. I am sure that most of the delegates did not meet these two great men before, and that they will remember the meeting a long time. Before I close I wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Telich of Ely for all their kindness extended to me during my stay in Ely. Goldie Miklaich No. 150, SSCU ELY, MINN. DEAR EDITOR: Regina Pavlich of Soudan, Minn., who is the sister of Irene Pavlich, spent one week here with us. She is 11 years old and in the fifth grade. Regina plays the clarinet. I do a lot of swimming lately, and am learning to swim under water. I spend much of my time playing with a baby kitten, who I think is very cute. On Friday, July 28, our family went to Soudan to attend the funeral of Tony Gornick. My sister Florence was in Soudan already, where she is spending a vacation of one week in Tower and Soudan. The deceased was but 25 years old. His funeral was one of the largest ever held in that locality. A large number of flowers, gifts of his many friends, were seen. The lodge turned out in a body and the members brought with them the lodge flag. Mother and I slept at Pavlich’s home, while my two big brothers attended the wake at Gorpick’s home. Owr family had dinner at the Pavlich’s home the next day. Mrs. Pavlich is a swell cook. Margaret Mary Startz (Age: 10) No. 129, SSCU STRABANE, PA. DEAR EDITOR: Last month I left off where the king came to the castle and thought the boy was dead. THE BOY WHO LEARNED TO SHUDDER “It’s a pity,” he said, “for he was a handsome lad.” The boy heard this, and jumped up. The king was very much astonished and pleased. On the second night he went up again into the old castle, sat down by his fire, and began his old song, “If I could only shudder!” When it was nearly midnight, he heard a noise, it became louder and louder, and then a half of a man came tumbling down the chimney. Then the noise began again and the second half came tumbling down. Then more men came tumbling down and set up some bones to play a game of skittles. The youth asked if he could play and they answered, “Yes, if you have any money.” He played with them, and lost some of his money, but when twelve o’clock struck, everything vanished, and he went to sleep. When the third night came, he sat down again upon the bench, and said crossly, “If I could only shudder!” Suddenly there entered a man who was taller than any he had yet seen; he was an old man, with a long white beard. “Oh, you wretch!” he cried, “now you shall soon learn how to shudder, for you shall die*” “Softly, softly,” retorted the youth, “I fancy I’m as strong as you are, and stronger too.” “We’ll see that,” cried the old man, “come with me.” He led the youth through dark passages to a place where there was a smith’s forge. The old man took an axe, and with one blow struck one of the two anvils into the earth. “I can do more than that,” said the youth, and not only split the anvil at a blow, but also wedged the old man’s beard into it. “Now I have caught you,” he cried. The old man begged him to leave off, and promised him great riches. So the lad released the old man’s beard. The man led him back into the castle and gave him three chests full of gold. As he said this the clock struck twelve, and the man vanished, leaving the youth standing alone in the dark. Next morning the king came again, and said, “I fancy by this time surely you’ve learned to shudder?” “No, indeed,” replied the lad. “Well,” said the king, “you’ve disenchanted the castle, and you shall marry my daughter. “That’s all very pleasant,” he said, “but I don’t know yet what it is to shudder!” Then the gold was brought up, and the marriage celebrated. But though the young man was very happy, and loved his wife very much, he could not avoid saying, “If I could only shudder!” At last the young wife grew quite angry about it, and her chambermaid said, “You leave it to me, I will find a sure remedy for it.” So she went to the brook and had a whole pailful of little fish brought in, and she told her mistress to wait till her husband was fast asleep at night, and then to draw the coverlet from him, and pour the water with the fish over him, so that the little fish sprang all about. Then the young man woke up, and cried, “I’m shuddering—hu—hu—what makes me shudder? Dear wife, now I know what it is to shudder!” The End. Frances Zele (Age: 14) No. 149, SSCU MINUTES OF THE THIRD BIENNIAL JUVENILE CONVENTION OF THE SSCU HELD IN ELV, MINNESOTA, ON AUGUST 4th, 1939 ELY, MINNESOTA DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES: The annual Old Settlers picnic was held at Sandy Point, Thursday, July 20. It marked the 25th anniversary of the Old Settlers organization in Ely, July, 1914. A "Booyah” was served. John H. Hearding was the speaker of the day. It was a big affair. One year the picnic takes place at Ely, Minnesota, and the next year at Tower, Minnesota in McKinley Park. I spent a week’s vacation in Soudan and Tower. When I was in Soudan I stayed at Irene Pavlich’s home. The family showed me a very nice time and I want to heartily thank the Pavlich family. While at Tower I spend my time at Irene’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Zabitz. They own a grocery store. I certainly appreciate and want to thank Mrs. Zobitz for all she did for me. I certainly had a wonderful time. On Sunday, July 23rd our family spent the afternoon at the home of Irene’s aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tekautz. They have one daughter, Mary Agatha, 9, who entertained us with piano solos. She has taken lessons for one year and can she play. She also plays the cornet. She is in the school orchestra and school band. Mary Agatha is- very musically inclined. Mrs. Tekautz served us a nice lunch. Thanks Mrs. Tekautz. They remodeled the Rex theatre in Tower. It is very nice now. Irene sells tickets at the theatre. I spent most of my time with Irene’s sister Mary. Mary is a wonderful girl. A swell chum to have. She is one in a million. We walked to Tower every day which is two miles from Soudan. Once when we were walking to Tower, Little Stan picked us up. The week flew by so swiftly that before I knew it, it was time to go home. Irene has 10 sisters and one brother Jack, who is through with high school. You can imagine how lost Jack must feel. Jack is working now where they are building the new Soudan school. They are also remodeling the Tower school. Jack develops pi6-tures as a hobby. On July 25, a very close friend of our family, Tony Gornick died. He was 25 years old. He was operated for appendix. Our whole family went to the funeral. The Gornick family was my mother’s neighbors when she lived in Soudan. The Gornick family are all very nice folks. We go down often to see them. They certainly go out of their way to entertain us. John Banovetz from Anaconda, Montana, came to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Banovetz who are our neighbors. He came with his wife and three children. He is superintendent of the mine there. Elsie M. Desmond! I’m amazed at your letters. Everyone you write is better than the one before. How do you do it Elsie? I’m sure you spend lots of ! Friday, August 4, 1939, delegates to 1 the Third Biennial Juvenile Convention | assembled in Ely’s Washington School, i The meeting opened at 9:15 with Bro. : Zbasnik acting as temporary chairman, j Before the meeting began Mrs. F. J. j Arch led us in singing “The Star Spangled Banner.” Brother Zbasnik acting as i chairman began telling us about how he was given the title of “Father of Ju-! venile Convention” two years ago by j the juveniles. He is really proud to have j that title. Resuming with his speech | again he told us about the sign “WEL-; COME TO YOUR HOME” which hangs j above the South Slavonic Catholic | Union’s Home building. Also spoke of I the UNION and how it began 41 years ! ago. Then Brother Zbasnik introduced j to us a very prominent man and author among the Slovenes. He was none other i than Mr. Louis Adamic, writer of the | many books that made him famous. His | speech was taken in shorthand by Anne Prosen and Rose Banovetz. Copies were then made and the writer autographed them and they were distributed to the different delegates. The) next step was to elect officers I for the juvenile convention. Albert 1 Adamjch was nominated as chairman. | The motion was carried and Albert was elected chairman. With the assistance of Brother Zbasnik he carried the rest of the elections and other business quite well. Our next step was to vote for four vice-presidents. These honors were taken by Mary Petritz of Butte, Montana, Angeline Yakopich of Helper, Utah, Louis Kuznik of Export, Pa., and Leonard Perushek of Ely, Minn.

Florence D. Startz (Age: 14) No. 129, SSCU LUDLOW, COLO. DEAR EDITOR: Once more I am r.aytng hello to all our friends and members. All of us had a very nice time during our stay in Ely and I enjoyed myself very much. Most of all I enjoyed the trip on the boat and seeing the Indians. I want to thank Mrs. Slogar particularly for being so kind to me during my stay at her home. I also want to thank her daughter Emily, who I learned to like so well and who entertained me and kept me company while I stayed with her. I enjoyed every minute while I was with Mrs. Slogar and her family and I hated to leave, although I was glad to get home. Mr. and Mrs. Broderick from Omaha, Neb., were very nice to the delegates who continued their trip to Colorado and Utah. Mrs. Broderick fixed us a lunch while we waited for the train. We sure did appreciate what Mrs. Broderick did for us and we thank her very much. Mr. Okoren of Denver, Colorado who is known to everyone, was very kind to us during our stay in Ely and on the return trip. We sure do appreciate what he did for us. I hope all the delegates, friends, and members all success in the years to come.

ODMEVI KAMPANJE Članom J. S'. K. Jednote je že znano, da se je naša letošnja kampanja za pridobivanje novih članov, ki je trajala od 1. januarja do 30. junija, zelo dobro obnesla. Pridobila nam je skoro poltretji tisoč novih članov v oba oddelka, kar je za te čase in razmere izredno lepo število. Tako število bi bilo častno tudi za boljše čase in za večjo organizacijo kot je naša. Pridobivanje novega članstva, posebno mladega članstva, je. največje važnosti za vsako bratsko podporno organizacijo. Vsi vemo, da neizpremen-ljivi zakoni narave neprestano redčijo naše vrste in da potrebujemo vedno novih članov, da izpolnimo nastale vrzeli in s tem obdržimo našo solventnost. Vemo tudi, da: je mladinski oddelek najboljša rezerva, iz katere prihaja dotok novih članov v odrasli oddelek. Vse navedeno bi veljalo tudi, če bi bila organizacija številčno desetkrat fcako močna kot je. Kampanja, ki je bila zaključena z mladinsko konvencijo in atletično konferenco, pa je bila za našo Jed-noto tudi velikega reklamnega pomena. V prvi vrsti smo zainteresirali veliko število naše mladine za njeno in našo organizacijo. Delegati mladinske konvencije in atle-1 tične konference ne bodo nikdar pozabili lepega izleta, ki jim ga je Jednota naklonila kot plačilo za njihovo dobro kampanjsko delo ter za delo njihovih staršev, bratov, sester in prijateljev. Izlet v rojstno mesto Jednote je to mladino prepričal, da je cenjena in upoštevana ter pri organizacijskemu delu zaželjena; prepričal jo jej pa tudi, da je naša Jednota spoštovana in upoštevana, ne samo v mejah slovensko-ameriškega življenja, ampak tudi izven istih. Mesto Ely, kjer sta.se vršili mladinska konvencija in^ atletična konferenca, je bilo ža to priliko slavnostno' okrašeno, in prebivalstvo, tako slovensko kot drugorodno, je izkazovalo svojim zunanjim gostom vsestransko pri-1 jaznost in naklonjenost. Obe delegaciji sta bili prijetno iznenadeni s posetom našega rojaka, priznanega ameri-! škega pisatelja Louisa Adamiča, ki se je tisti čas po svo-1 jih opravkih mudil v Minnesoti in je bil tako prijazen, da se je odzval povabilu glavnih uradnikov ter prišel v mesto Ely, kjer je z vzpodbudnim govorom pozdravil našo mladino. Sam priseljenec, ki se je povzpel visoko kot ameriški pisatelj, je pač lahko z avtoriteto priporočal mladini priseljencev, da se naj ne pusti zapostavljati od tako zvanih starih Američanov, saj so tudi oni samo potomci priseljencev. To more imeti samo dober vpliv na našo tu rojeno mladino, posebno na tisto, ki se čuti nekako ne-sigurno in boječo zaradi svojega slovenskega pokolenja. Mladinska konvencija m a-tletična konferenca sta se zaključili z velikim piknikom, katerega se je poleg obeh delegacij in elyskih rojakov udeležilo tudi izredno veliko število naših ljudi iz vsega železnega okrožja Minnesote. Poleg mestnega župana, pisatelja Adamiča in nekaterih jednotinih odbornikov je pozdravil občinstvo na pikniku tudi minnesotski governer. Dasi se morda s stranko, kateri pripada sedanji governer Minnesote, eden ali drugi ne strinja, je nedvomno odobraval njegov priliki primerni govor vsak, ki pozna dobro delo naših bratskih podpornih organizacij, ki ceni delo, ki so ga naši priseljenci izvršili v tej republiki, in ki veruje, da bodo v doglednem času tudi potomci nas novejših priseljencev igrali veliko vlogo v ameriškem javnem življenju. Da se bodo aktivnosti in slavnosti v zvezi z mladinsko konvencijo in atletično konferenco udeležili mnogi naši lojalni minnesotski člani in članice, je bilo pričakovati. Da pa so prišli za to priliko v Ely tudi nekateri naši agilni člani in članice iz drugih držav, nam je bilo prijetno presenečenje. Iz Detroita v državi Michigan, na primer, je prišla sosestra Frances Skoryanc, predsednica našega angleško poslujočega društva št. 234; iz Roundupa v Montani je prišla sosestra Katarina Penica, tajnica tamkajšnjega društva št. 88; iz mesta Milwaukee v Wis-consinu je prišla sosestra Paulina Vogrich, tajnica tamkajšnjega društva št. 225; iz Jolieta, Illinois, je prišel tajnik tamkajšnjega društva št. 66, sobrat John Adamich s svojim sinom. Vsi omenjeni in morda še nekateri drugi, glede katerih piscu teh vrstic ni znano, so prišli k tej lepi jednotini .manifestaciji na svoje stroške. To je lojalnost napram naši Jednoti, ki pač zasluži, da se jo pohvalno omeni! Oficielno delo mladinske konvencije in atletične konference je bilo kratko. Tako je predvideval načrt, saj pravo delo se je vršilo tekom kampanje, konvencija in konferenca pa sta bili aranžirani za nagrado. Priznati pa je treba delegacijama obeh skupin, da sta tudi oficiel-nemu delu posvetili toliko pozornosti kot je bilo za pričakovati. Druge aktivnosti so bile razvedrilnega in zabavnega značaja in mlada delegacija se jih je udeleževala s pravo mladostno razigranostjo. Srečni, nasmejani obrazi so pričali, da je mladina res uživala nagrado, katero jim je dala Jednota. Pri vsej mladostni razigranosti pa se je mladina obnašala dostojno ter je delala čast Jednoti in svojim staršem. Mnogi naši člani in članice'so opravili veliko in vse hvale vredno delo tekom kampanje, ki je bila predhodnica tretje mladinske konvencije in druge atletične konference. Nekateri se zaradi neugodnih krajevnih razmer v kampanji niso mogli dosti udejstvovati. Nekateri so bili tudi skeptični. Z ozirom na to je urednik smatral za umestno v predstoječem nekoliko opisati zaključne manifestacije kampanje. Nekak izčrpek vsega pa bi bil v naslednjem: Da je bila kampanja uspešna in da je dosegla svoj glavni namen, kažejo številke: skoro poltretji tisoč novih članov in nad milijon dolarjev novo zapisane zavarovalnine. Da je to visoko dvignilo ugled naše Jednote, ni nobenega dvoma, dasi tega ne moremo izkazati s številkami. Mladi delegati in delegatinje so bili deležni prijetnega in poučnega izleta. Poleg tega so se pobližje seznanili s svojo Jednoto. Dalje so se seznanili ne samo medsebojno kot kolegi, ampak tudi z osebami, katerih poznanstvo in prijateljstvo bodo še v poznih letih cenili. S sigurnostjo lahko računamo, da bodo mnogi izmed njih v bližnji bodočnosti naši dobri in lojalni društveni delavci. Doživljaji splošno vzgojnega pomena bodo pomagali, da postanejo dobri državljani te republike in dobri člani človeške družbe. In ti mladi delegati in delegatinje so ponesli sloves naše Jednote daleč preko te širne dežele. Tedne, mesece in leta bodo pripovedovali svojim tovarišem o lepih časih, ki so jih preživeli v zeleni Minnesoti. Z vsemi temi pripovedovanji in lepimi spomini pa bo zvezano ime naše Jednote. Vsaka, tudi najmočnejša podporna organizacija potrebuje oglaševanja, če hoče obstojati in napredovati. Vsaka vrši to dejo na način, ki si ga sama izbere. ^Taša J. S. K. Jednota se je letos v to svrho poslužila mladinske konvencije in atletične konference. Načrt se je obnesel in se je izplačal z novo pridobljenimi člani. Obresti pa še pridejo v obliki povečanega ugleda ter nadaljnega oglaševanja in napredka naše organizacije.

Menda ni pod zvezdnato zastavo društva, ki bi imelo bolj | skrbne in delavne društvene u-i radnike ali uradnice kot je tajnica našega društva št. 225 v lepem mestu Milwaukee. Za veselico, ki se bo vršila v oktobru, | se je podala prodajati vstopnice icelo v severno Minnesoto, in to že V začetku avgusta. To je vredno zabeležiti z rožnatimi ; črkami, da ne bo kdo mislil, da je samo Schlitzovo pivo, ki dela Milwaukee famous. Še daleč ne! V Ameriki se te čase pritožujemo zaradi pasjih dni, senene vročnice in strupenega bršli-na. Lahko pa bi nas pestile še hujše neprilike. V Evropi, na ■ primer, imajo Hitlerja, Mussolinija in vojno vročnico. A. J. T. RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) katerih drugih nacijskih organizacij v tej deželi.

Ko je sodnik deklico vprašal, zakaj je • kričala, je odgovorila, da zato, ■ ker je fant ni hotel poljubiti. 1 Punčare so pa res od vraga. j, ^ Predsednika Roosevelta ne-' kateri nazivajo za komunista, l socialista ali diktatorja. Toda, 1 če bi bil mož diktator, bi dru- > gače postopal. Evropski dikta-i torji, na primer, neeejo imeti ^ parlamentov v zasedanju. Celo > v tako zvanih demokracijah, v ! Franciji in v Angliji, hočeta : imeti premirja prosto roko brez , motnje ljudskih zastopnikov. I Angleški parlament je bil ne-i I davno poslan na počitnice, dasi -: je mnogo poslancev zahteva--; lo nadaljevanje zasedanja. Iz - j Washingtona pa so kongresniki l} ailili domov na petmesečne po- lni dosegla svoj višek. Nemške g zahteve po Gdanskem in polj- | skem Pomor ju postajajo vsak San glasneje. Nemško časopisje Izjavlja, da glede omenjenih nemških zahtev ne more biti ni-sakega kompromisa. Od druge | strani pa izjavljajo zastopniki j Poljske ,da vsak poskus pod- I jarmljenja Gdanska in poljskega koridorja ali Pomorja od strani Nemčije, pomeni gotovo TOjno; za Poljsko da je omenjeno ozemtje življenjskega pomena. časopisje poroča o vedno j: številnejših incidentih ob polj-: : sko-nemški meji. Večina preko- j : mejnih prehodov je za ves nor-; malni promet zaprta in močno | j zastražena. V svrho boljše o-1 j brambe meje, je poljska vlada ! j določila, da se razkosajo vsa ve- i i v . I lika posestva v 16 milj širokem pasu ob nemški meji; lastniki; teh posestev so deloma Nemci. Nemške čete, broječe okrog i četrt milijona mož, so zasedle; severni pas Slovaške, kolikor is- j ti meji na Poljsko; nemški' “protektorat” se ulega vedno hujše na Slovaško in njena “ne-: odvisnest” je samo fraza, polna j ironije. | Iz Rima se poroča, da je papež j Pij poslal posebnega emisarja v | Varšavo; njegova naloga, da je pridobiti poljske državnike za mirno rešitev nemško-poljskega spora glede Gdanska in poljske-ga Pomorja. Poljska je odpoklicala skoro j vse svoje vojaštvo od ruske me- j, je in ga namestila ob neruski 1 meji. To kaže, da Poljska zaupa I I Rusiji. Pogajanja glede obrambne zveze med Anglijo, Francijo in Rusijo, ki se že dalje časa vrši- j jo v Moskvi, niso še rodila ni- j kakega rezultata. Medtem pa je bila med Rusijo in Nemčijo! podpisana nova trgovinska in | kreditna pogodba. Zdi se, da je to le bolj nekaka pretnja Angli- j ji od strani Rusije, da naj prva ne bo preveč trmasta pri sklepanju vojaške obrambne pogodbe. Vsote, ki so omenjene kot trgovski kredit, so primeroma nizke. Sicer pa trgujejo z Nemčijo tudi Anglija, Francija, Rumunija, Belgija, Holandska, Jugoslavija itd. Podpis kake trgovinske pogodbe med dvema državama je lahko velikega pomena ali pa tudi ne. Velike vojaške vaje se vršijo skoro po vseh evropskih državah ! in sodi se, da je na ta način pod j orožjem okrog 10 milijonov mož. Da-li bo ostalo pri samih J vajah, ali se bodo iste spreme- j nile v pravo vojno, se bo videlo v prihodnjih tednih, morda celo v prihodnjih dneh.^ KAKOR BOMBA Poročilo iz, Moskve in iz Berlina, da bosta Rusija in Nemčija sklenili medsebojno nenapadalno pogodbo, je učinkovalo v Evropi kot bomba. Najbolj so bile : presenečene Anglija, Francija in Poljska. Kakor znano so se pogajanja za medsebojno vojaško zvezo med Anglijo, Francijo in Rusijo dolgo časa vlekla. Zdi se, da Rusi niso zaupali An-1 jgliji in da je imel angleški mi-! ' nistrski predsednik vedno neka-j ke izgovore in posebkarstvo v rokavu. Rasi so bili za brezpo- j gojni vojaški pakt, torijski j Chamberlain pa se je ogreval za nekaj bolj plehkega in nedoloč-j nega. Zdi se, da se je končno; Rusom zazdelo preveč tega angleškega slepomišenja in so se odločili za podpis trgovinske in ; nenapadalne pogodbe z Nemčijo. Nenapadalna pogodba še ni j podpisana, toda iz Moskve in Berlina je bilo naznanjeno, da ; pride 23. avgusta nemški zunanji minister Ribbentrop v Moskvo ,da zaključi pogajanja za podpis take pogodbe. To pome-; ni, da je vojaška zveza med An-1 glijo, Francijo in Rusijo padla [v vodo. Situacija je postala zelo neugodna za Poljsko, pa tudi j Madžarski, Rumunski in Jugoslaviji se ne obeta nič dobrega. LJUDSKO ŠTETJE (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) Glede vsakega prebivalca Zedinjenih držav bo treba odgovoriti okrog 30 vprašanj. Nekatera 1 teh vprašanj bodo bolj rutinska, na primer vprašanja po imenu,1 rojstnem kraju, starosti, spolu, rasi in državljanstvu. Potom drugih bo skušala vlada nekoliko pogledati tudi v socialne razmere prebivalstva. Tako bodo na primer števci morali izvedeti glede vsake nad 14 let stare osebe, če je zaposlena ali nezaposlena, če je že bila kdaj zaposlena in kako dolgo je bila zaposlena. Na podlagi,tega vprašanja bo dežela doljila najbolj zanesljivo sliko o zaposlen ju ali nezaposlenju prebivalstva. Pravo ljudsko štetje se bo začelo aprila prihodnjega leta. Izvedlo ga bo okrog 143,000 števcev, ki bodo hodili od hiše do hiše z vprašalnimi polami. Vsak i števec bo imel svoje natančno ; določeno okrožje. Prebivalstvo Zedinjenih držav se zdaj ceni na j 132 milijonov; kako blizu na eno Šali drugo stran smo temu števi- i I lu, bo pokazalo štetje prihodnje- I i ga leta. Zadnje ljudsko štetje je j bilo izvedeno leta 1930. štetje bo izvedeno v kontinentalnih Zedinjenih državah in v j Alaski, pa tudi v Puerto Ricy, na Havaju iti na drugih posest-I vih Zedinjenih držav. Filipinsko i otočje bo izpuščeno, ker .je že izdaj deloma samostojno, za leto 194G pa je otočju obljubljena popolna samostojnost in samovlada.

AMPLIFyiNG THE VOICE OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBERS Minutes of the' Semi-Annual Session of the SSCU Supreme Board Held July 29, 31 and August 1, 2, 1939 At The Home Office In Ely, Minnesota. Translated From The Slovene By Frank Tomsich Jr., Assistant Supreme Secretary. FIRST SESSION Present at the first session on July 29 in the morning were the following supreme board members: Joseph Mantel, 1st supreme vice-president; Paul J. Oblock, 2nd supreme vice-president; Anton Zbasnik, supreme secretary; Frank Tomsich, Jr., assistant supreme secretary; Louis Champa, supreme treasurer; Anton J. Terbovec, editor-manager of Nova Doba; John Kumse, chairman of the supreme board of trustees; Janko N. Rogelj, 1st supreme trustee; Frank E. Vranichar, 2nd supreme trustee; Matt Anzelc, 3rd supreme trustee; and Andrew Milavec, Jr., 4th supreme trustee. First vice-president Joseph Mantel calls the meeting to order at 10 a. m. States that there is a quorum present, although the supreme president and supreme medical examiner are absent; starts the 1st meeting of the regular semi-annual session with the following welcoming address: My dear supreme board members: Instructed by the supreme secretary, who had received word from the supreme president ,he could not attend the semi-annual session, as his alternate, I hereby open the semiannual session of the supreme board of the SSCU. It is a pleasure to me to welcome you in the Home Office of our Union, wishing you the best of everything and hoping you will obtain satisfactory results at this session. Six months of our work is again behind us, during which time a campaign in both departments was conducted. It is known to all of you, that the campaign was concluded with unprecedented satisfactory results ,if we take into consideration the conditions prevalent in various states Wherein our Union operates. Let this session" have a similar happy conclusion, .so we can return to our homes satisfied and happy, and be prepared to assist again, whenever our SSCU again bee- j kons. Anton J. Terbovec, is elected recorder of minutes with the same daily rate of compensation formerly set. Sessions are to be held from 9 a. m. to 12 noon, and from 1.30 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. Read are the minutes of the last annual session which are approved as read. Supreme Secretary Anton Zbasnik reports, that Dr. F. J. Arch cannot attend the first session, but that he will be present Monday, July 31. The supreme secretary requests, that the question regarding an advertisement in “Fraternal Age” for the month of August be considered. After a short discussion, it is adopted that the request for an advertisement in the aforementioned publication be denied. The supreme secretary states he has not received a report from the supreme president to date, so the report of the 1st supreme vice-president Joseph Mantel, is first to be read. Follow reports of supreme board members, which are accepted as read. SECOND SESSION The second session was open- ed by first vice-president Joseph Mantel, July 31, at 9 a. m. Present are all board members who attended the last session and also present is Dr. F. J. Arch. The minutes of the first meeting of this session are read and approved. The supreme secretary states, that he received by mail the report of the supreme president which is read. The report is recorded. Follows the report of the supreme medical examiner which is likewise recorded. With the reading and recording of these reports, all reports of supreme board members submitted are completed, and next on the calendar are miscellaneous matters which are presented for consideration by the supreme secretary. The first matter is the resignation of Sis. Mary Kolenc, who was employed 8 years and was an efficient and trusted assistant in the Home Office. She is resigning because she is to be married. The Home Office will naturally as a result, need an additional officfe employee and the supreme secretary recommends for this position Sis. Margaret Mlakar, member of Lodge No. 1, who in his opinion is qualified for this position. The regular work in the Home Office will be changed somewhat, likewise the salaries of the employees, but the total salaries of the assistants employed will remain the same as heretofore. Frank Lunka, member of Lodge No. 1, had an operation for which the by-laws provide no benefits and requests some consideration in view of section 307. He is awarded $25.00 special benefits. Mary Klopcic, member of Lodge No. 3, requests special benefits as she sustained a fractured leg some months ago; she is still disabled, and although not insured in the sick benefit fund, is insured for disability, but cannot collect benefits until one year has elapsed. She is awarded $25.00 special benefits from the disability fund. The supreme secretary reports about a certain lodge of our Union which denies admittance to prospective new members who are not of the Catholic faith. Such practices are not in accord with our by-laws, which state, that all members of the Caucasian race, which successfully pass a physical examination and are of insurable age, are acceptable regardless of religion, nationality or political faith. The Minnesota supreme board members are instructed what action to take in this matter. Lodge No. 6, requests that some special benefit be granted Frances Gradišek, member of the juvenile department, who underwent two operations. The above request cannot be honored as the juvenile department has no fund for this purpose to cover such disbursements. Louise Brodarich, member of Lodge No. 11, who is insured only for death benefits, wishes now to insui'e also for sick benefits. The aforementioned member had previously exhausted her entire disability benefit, which proves that her physical condition does not permit insurance against sick benefits. ! Ludvick Merhar, member of NEWS STAFF KEEPS WIRES HUMMING Juvenile Convention and Second Athletic Conference Stories on Tap for Weeks to Come Little Stan Lodge No. 15, underwent several operations, for which our bylaws provide no benefits. In accordance with section 307 he is awarded $15 special benefits. Frank Mehle, member of Lodge No. 15, likewise suffered an operation which in accordance with our by-laws, no regular benefits are payable. He is awarded $15.00 special benefits. Jernej Selan, member of Lodge No. 16, requests some benefits for a tonsillectomy operation. In accordance with the by-laws no benefits can be paid, not even in the light of section 307. Joseph J. Laurich, member of Lodge No. 25, a successful delegate to the athletic conference, is employed by the CCC and as a result, may not be able to receive the time off to attend the athletic conference, and requests the supreme board to allow his brother to attend in his stead. Adopted, that the brother be declared a delegate, if he himself is prevented from attending. Antonija Nemgar, member of Lodge No. 25, suffered an operation for which benefits are not payable in view of the bylaws. She is granted a special benefit of $25.00. Anton Koren, member of Lodge No. 27, complains because of a rejected benefit for operation. The matter is not very clear, and for this reason i jt is turned over to the supreme j medical examiner for further in- ] vestigation. Frank Augustin, member of Lodge No. 29, protests because he didn’t receive the full amount for a double hernia operation. In view of additional evidence, he is awarded an additional $35, which will pay in full the operation benefit. John Kromar, member of Lodge No. 37, who is 64 years of age, and who has used up his entire reserve, is awarded six months assessments from the I disability fund. Louis Paskvan, member of Lodge No. 39, requests indemni-ties for paralysis of his leg below the knee in view of section 299 subsection (d). After examining the claim and information given by the supreme medical examiner, it is decided the aforementioned member is ; not eligible for the benefits re-1 quested. John Klobuchar and Michael Praznik, both members of Lodge No. 40, had to undergo certain operations which are not covered in the by-laws. They are awarded $15.00 each in special benefits. The secretary of lodge No. 43, turns to the supreme board with the question as to whether or not it would be contrary to the by-laws, if donations be given from the lodge treasury for a certain purpose. The supreme board is of the opinion, that to support this certain cause, could quite readily cause comment of either religious or political nature, which can result in discord and also Criticism in certain instances. If contributions are made for certain miscellaneous purposes, by lodges in which there is doubt as to political or religious affiliations, it is best, that no donations be made from the local lodge treasury, but that the matter be discussed after the meeting, and those who favor such action, may collect from such members who wish to contribute * to the cause. By doing so, no one wil be forced to contribute to some cause which is not to his liking. The supreme secretary sug-guests and it is later adopted, that as the supreme president is absent, the first supreme vice-president sign all checks issued during the semi-annual session, juvenile convention and athletic conference, which require his signature. The second meeting adjourned at 12 noon. THIRD SESSION The third session of the meeting was opened by the first supreme vice-president July 31, at 1:30 p. m. Present are all supreme board members who were present at the second session. Continued are matters submitted by the supreme secretary. Lodge No. 50, Brooklyn, N. Y., will celebrate its 30th anniversary Nov. 26, 1939, and they request the supreme secretary to attend as official speaker, and at the same time, they request an ad in the official program which will be issued at that time. Adopted that a one-page advertisment for $10.00 be selected and that Valentine Orehek, supreme judiciary member, represent the Union as official representative. Ludvik Meyer, member of Lodge No. 58, was rejected an operation benefit upon information furnished by the local medical examiner. After additional evidence is presented and information given by the supreme medical examiner, it is adopted that Bro. Meyer, be paid the withheld operation benefit in the amount of $50.00. Lodge No. 87, of St. Louis, Mo., will celebrate its 30th anniversary Oct. 29, and wishes to have one of the board members present as a speaker. Adopted that Paul Bartel, supreme president, of Waukegan, Illinois, attend the celebration with Frank E. Vranichar, as alternate. Mary Macek, member of Lodge No. 99, suffered an operation for which the by-laws privide no regular operation benefits. She is awarded $25.00 in special benefits. Edward Ambrožič, member of Lodge No. 105, who has been ill since 1935 ,and has exhausted all his benefits, petitions for some special benefits. Adopted that his assessment be paid for six monfehs from the disability fund. Ignac Novljan, member of Lodge No. 110, complains that he was not paid sick benefits because after a short interval, he had reported sick. From the reports submitted, by the physicians, it is noted that he is suffering from the same illness now, for which he had previously exhausted his entire sick benefits, and is now eligible only for disability benefits. Tony Strazishar, member of Lodge 112, who was admitted to the adult department from the juvenile department and suffered an operation before he was eligible to receive benefits, petitions for some special benefit. He is awarded $15.00 special benefit. Lodge No. 133 recommends that some special benefits be allowed Margaret Suklje, who has been ill a long time, al-; though she has received no sick ' benefits. The petition cannot be honored, although if the mem- (Contlnued on page 6) Ely, Minn. — There’s a bright warm sun shining down on this little wilderness city today where just a few weeks ago delegates to the Juvenile Convention and Athletic Conference frolicked in the protective arms of the South Slavonic Catholic Union. They were a. happy lot and if you trace back a -little bit, you will find that the big reason for a grčat part of that feeling was because they were members of one big happy family. A family that spreads into 23 states of our Union, who came here to Ely, the Home Office and heart of the SSCU to enjoy one big happy family re-union, so to speak. So enthused and excited was everybody that perhaps they didn’t realize that they \$ere taken right in to the hearts of every citizen here. It seemed that everybody knew each other and the welcoming was such that it was likened to one who hadn’t seen his old friend for years, then suddenly meeting, and enjoying the resulting pleasures. For such is our South Slavonic Catholic Union. The news staff of Nova Doba, as you probably noticed, went right to work, and commenced to fill the columns of the paper with rapid fire, enthusiastic chatter which gave you fine and | vivid accounts of the conclave. There’s more to come—much more, and it\will behoove you to keep right on reading so that next time when our Organization gets into a campaign, you’ll want to be in the front lines, to work hard and qualify so that you, too, will be able to participate in the wonderful time that will follow. Anne Prosen and Elsie Desmond, reporters and delegates from lodge 173, Cleveland. Photographed by Little Stan in Ely during the picnic. The way the news staff is going to work on the convention, no question may remain in the minds of anyone that OUR SSCU'S PUBLICATION, NOVA DOBA, HAS THE FINEST AND LIVELIEST GANG OF WRITERS IN THE FRATERNAL NATION! That’s something to be proud of, and we all hope it continues! Nova Doba — TOPS IN FRATERNAL NEWSPAPERS; TOPS IN NEWS WRITERS! The fire siren just whirred, cutting in on Little Stan’s musing. Now if that had been a hot band instead of a siren, you’d probably see some funny things in this article. Heh Heh. But the siren kinda keyed up By Little Stan Little Stan’s imagination and he was all set to bring out a little dusty Magic Carpet, to take you for a convention ride in Northern Minnesota. A ride which begins in Duluth, takes you to Ely, thence to the convention, and conclusion. It was a busy Wednesday afternoon. Little Stan was making quick-time with his work. His brother, Al, whose somewhat sweet smile captivated the hearts of juvenile maidens, was a big help. For Little Stan was to board the bus for Duluth, where the next morning he was to meet the delegates. It was a real thrill. In the Home Office where Little Stan stopped before leaving, Bro. Janko N. Rogelj and Bro. Frank E. Vranichar, were lining up a business program for the juvenile delegates. A few minutes for final instructions, and Little Stan was away! Heigh ho, Silver! • The clerk in the Lenox Hotel in Duluth didn’t have too much trouble waking Little Stan about 5 a.m., the next morning. He only called about a dozen times. In the early morning haze, Little Stan thought it was termites — or something that were making all the noise. But it was only the telephone. In half an hour, a sleepy-eyed gentleman strode forth from the hotel to meet his first passenger, Kay Besner of Calumet, Michigan. It wasn’t a long wait. For soon that engine came puffing into the station. He saw Kay step off the train, saw quite a bit of baggage, too. Far from being a weakling, Little Stan stepped right up with a cheery hello, grabbed the bags, and not arm in arm (yet), helped the little lady to the checkroom. Then whisked for a walk down town to the nearest restaurant to play an early morning game called “Feeding your face.” — with breakfast food of course. Under the impression that the train from St. Paul, bringing delegates from the west was not due until 7 p.m., Little Stan wasted away much time during breakfast. He and Kay were getting quite used to each other When decision was made to go down to meet the train from the west. At the depot, first person Little Stan saw when he came through the door was our Third Supreme Vice President Frank Okoren from Denver. He was very worried for a couple of passengers had not made the train from Denver. They were Athletic Delegates George Pau-lich of Walsenburgp, Col., Juvenile Delegates Clara Frlan of Bob Carbo, Col., and Jennie Logar of Ludlow, Col. Their trains did not arriye in Denver on time. But quick arrangements were made so that these people, with the exception of George Paulich, took the next train out. They were in Ely several hours after the train, coming in a special car. We did not know how come George Paulich came to miss the trip. Bro. Okoren handled things with quick dispatch, however, and it was soon after that final confirmation was had from the (Continued on page 6) following resolutions for s sideration: r;|K9 Kj SPORTS INVOLVING W' pit] NECESSARY RISKS fo]] ®ur SSCU lodges interes^ Bo in athletic programs have played various types of sp® chief of which are b°wling» tenpins and duckpins; base t both softball and hardba - ' basketball.

(Continuation) I wish to impress upon you : one thought: The future course of the SSCU will be determined by the younger element, as represented by delegates gathered here today. More and more, the English-speaking members in oiu’ Organization are delegated responsible positions. Take the present supreme board consisting of 15 members. Six members represent chiefly the English-j speaking group, j Are we, the younger element, j going to continue the fine precedent established by our senior members? Are we going to build ; the SSCU to unprecented; I heights? Remember! it is up to! us. The SSCU of the future will be what WE WILL MAKE IT.; Louis M.

Kolar in his report, a motion was duly made, seconded and j approved unanimously that the 'conference honor our worthy j Supreme Secretary Anton Zbas-nik by naming him the Father i of the Juvenile Conventions and Father of the National Athletic Conferences of our SSCU. Worthy Supreme Secretary Anton Zbasnik then expressed his gratitude and sincere thanks and appreciation for ijie honor bestowed upon him, and that the title of Father of both Juvenile Conventions and Athletic Conferences appealed to him only as much as the juvenile and adult delegates would respond to various SSCU activities in their communities. Announcement by Supreme Secretary Anton Zbasnik fol-, lowed to the effect that all delegates should assemble in front of the Home Office to take pictures that afternoon, at 1:30. I He distributed train schedules to all out-of-town delegates and requested that they report to the Home Office to fill out their expense accounts. The chairman then ordered a i five-minute recess to give the J Resolutions Committee an op-1 portunity to assemble and pre-I pare their reports. Meeting was again called to order by the chair and the gavel turned over to Joseph Kovach. Pictures of the Home Office were then distributed.

Both i1 teams cannot possibly win, and i neither can both teams possibly . lose. A winner is readily accept-j ed by the spectators, while a good loser commands the re-. spect and admiration of those on the sidelines. • ' Inasmuch as SSCU lodge ; I teams offer a splendid means of advertising the parent organization, and inasmuch as the j character of the lodge team re-. fleets in part the SSCU, the delegates assembled at the sec-r \ ond national athletic conference j resolve to urge all lodge SSCU • 1 teams to display a fine sense of 1 i sportsmanship at all times when 5 engaged in athletic contests. • j Delegates further resolve to 1 accept the following motto: 1J “Win or lose, we, the team, have i tried our best to play the game 5 fair, and at no time shall we '; sacrifice fair play and a spirit • of sportsmanship to gain a vic-■ tory.” i Resolution on Good Sports- > manship was approved as read. 5 * ) Mary Milavec, lodge 75, Meadow Lands, Pa., submitted the MINUTES Of the Second National Athletic Conference of the SSC| Held in Ely, Minnesota, August 5, 1939 “Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow” . < Ely, Minn. — This afternoon j (Aug. 7) at two o’clock the train | pulled out of Ely, carrying away J the delegates back to their re- j spective homes. A very large < crowd was there to see them off. | < What excitement, laughter, j 1 handshakes, and yes, even tears. 1 Some were very anxious to get, 1 jback, yet sad to leave the new- -made acquaintances. The dele- < ! gates were returning from the i third biennial SSCU Juvenile!: : Convention and the second SS-1 i ' CU athletic conference. Mem- : bers of the supreme board were : leaving too, so you can well see j for yourself that the train was : packed. I can well imagine these 1 delegates coming from thirteen j states, getting friendly and just | when they became well acquainted they are dropping off !one by one. The parting is sad. It gets one down no matter how hard you may be. Nevertheless it leaves a soft spot in your heart that hurts and you wonder I why it must be this way. J ust a ; few days of sunshine, meeting the new friends, then they must | be torn away. But I think it must be for the best, for so is j life, meet and part. But we have ! the advantage of writing to each j other and living in spirit together so that softens the hurt j j to some extent. I know how this | parting hurts. There are tears ! in my eyes that I cannot hold j ! back for I, too, made many a j friend amongst all these dele-1 gates. One of my friends who ; ' is close to my heart and will be ! there forever is Elsie M. Des-raond. And what a beauty she is. But what counts more than ! beauty is her fine character, her intelligence. Her personality is magnificent. She just draws i people to her. Many people in ■ Ely had a fine compliment for I Elsie. She was elected record-| ing secretary at the convention. Elsie and I have been1 corresponding for two years now. Elsie and Anne Prosen were tak-; ing down notes at the picnic on 1 [the platform whei’e the speak-j i ers were seated. At the picnic a song was dedicated to Elsie and Anne Prosen. The title was “Ain’t She Sweet.” I met Anne Prosen. I think ( : she’s a real charming girl. I also j met the editors, Mr. Terbovec ! , and Mr. Kolar his assistant. I; think they both are very fine gentlemen. Thank you Mr. Kolar for the very fine compliment you gave me on my writing.

Anna Gornick, member of - Lodge No. 190, qualified as dele- i gate to this year’s juvenile con- i vention, but has received a position in an office soon after-graduation, therefore, she is unable to attend the convention. > Considering the situation, it is adopted that a ladies’ wrist, watch be sent to her. Mary Skalar, member of Lodge No. 200, underwent an operation for which no operation benefits can be paid in accordance with the by-laws. She : is awarded $25.00 in special benefits. The secretary of the Ohio Federation of SSCU Lodges asks whether or not the supreme board could take some action concerning the payment of. special disability assessments by new members when admitted. The supreme board is of the opinion that it is proper to leave such action to the regular convention, which will be held next year, ...t:nv i Th 6 secretary of the OhiosS-! CU Federation further requests,; under instructions given him,1 that the supreme board consider the omission of some death benefit assessments each year,! a pi-actise that is followed by some other similar organiza-1 tions. In regard to this question the supreme board is of the opinion, considering the mandates of the! convention, that no such action ; can be taken. Even if such rights j were granted, such action would be inadvisable considering the ■ present economic conditions. Today our investments return low interest yields, anji the out-1 look is such that the yield will! not increase. With such low yields or perhaps yet lower yields, we may in a few years use up all the available reserve j • and it could happen, that special assessments woud have to be levied for the mortuary fund. If other organizations use this method of advertising it is entirely their own business. The business of our supreme board is, however, to uphold the solvency of our Union at the highest level possible, so that special assessments need not be levied, in the event that mortality rate is high, a lower interest yield on investments or some unforseen circumstances that would absorb the reserve. Present conditions are too unstable for us to think too lighly of our reserves in the mortuary fund. The secretary of the Western Pennsylvania Federation of SSCU Lodges suggests that the supreme board contribute some financial assistance to the federation, the funds to be used to award secretaries of lodges belonging to the federation who were most active in the recent campaign for new members. The suggestion cannot be considered as there is no fund from which to draw for such purposes. If such a fund was available active secretaries could be awarded di- Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a Committee on Credentials consisting of fifteen members, which shall retire to their task and report back to this Convention as soon as possible.

(4)—Whereas, The Campaign preced- j' ing this Third National Juvenile Convention brought to our South Slavonic ■ Catholic Union of America great success, we feel that we must not conclude ( that the task of the delegates attend- j ‘ ing this convention is finished; and Whereas, We know that possibly for j one reason or another a few newly enrolled members may withdraw from our ' Union; and Whereas, We want to hold or replace ; such members and thereby retain the i1 number of new members; and Whereas, It is possible for us to ac- 11 complish this if we remain loyal to our ' organization; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the members of j this Convention jointly and severally j promise the Supreme Board that if necessary we will help our local lodge ( secretaries to collect assessments from j the members we enrolled and try to re- j tain all of the newly secured members, j and if any are lost, to immediately replace them with new members. This our solemn promise should serve the Supreme Board as recognition and reward for their efforts and work which they had with this Third Juvenile Convention. We ask, also, that this resolution be ; translated into Slovene and published in the Slovene section of Nova Doba, so j that our parents will see and know j that the South Slavonic Catholic Union | is just as dear to our hearts as it is to j our parents and founders. By Carolyn i Kern. (5)—Resolved by the Juveniles of the j South Slavonic Catholic Union of j Ameilca assembled in the Third National Juvenile Convention, that Whereas, death has taken from the ranks of our Juvenile Department two members who were delegates fwo years ago at the Second National Juvenile Convention, namely, John E.

That we extend to their bereaved families our deepest sympathy, and Be It Further Resolved, that as an expression of sympathy on the part of the Juvenile Department of our Union and to perpetuate the same on the records ,this resolution be spread upon the minutes of this Convention and a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the families of the deceased. By Frank Jovanovich. (6)—Whereas, A large number of excellent articles have been written and contributed by Brother Stanley Pechaver (better known as “Little Stan"), Publicity Director of the Third National Juvenile Convention Campaign of our South Slavonic Catholic Union of America to boost the enrollment of the largest possible number of new members, and Whereas, This publicity helped materially to accomplish, such wonderful success in increasing the membership of our Union; be it Resolved, That in recognition of the able work done by “Little Stan,” the delegates attending this Third National Juvenile Convention extend t.o him their sincerest thanks; and be it further Resolved, That this Resolution be entered on the records of this Convention and a copy thereof presented to “Little Stan.” By Veronica Barbie. (7)—Whereas, The Board of the Independent School District No. 12 of Ely, Minnesota, kindly granted to the Third National Juver.ils Convention of the South Clavonic Catholic Union of America, free use of the Auditorium of the Washington School; and Whereas, The said Board also allowed the Ely High School Band to participate in parades welcoming and honoring the Delegates and guests attending said Convention; and Whereas, The said board also furnished the free use of school busses to provide transportation for an excursion trip of said delegates and their guests to Tower, Minnesota, and to the picnic grounds at Sandy Point; therefore be , it Resolved, That the 56 delegates of ' this Juvenile Convention express to said Bcferd most sincere gratitude, thanks and appreciation to the School Board and all members of the Ely High School Band for all the courtesies , shown ;and be it further Resolved, That this Resolution be spread on the records of this Convention and that a copy thereof be sent to the secretary of the Independent School District No. 12. By Frances Prah. (8)—Whereas, The Third National . Juvenile Convention of the South Slavonic Catholic Union of America held 1 in the City of Ely, State of Minnesota, ■ from August 4th to August 6th, 1939; and Whereas, The Delegates of said Third National Juvenile Convention, their ■ guests and members of the Supreme .

Also, the secretary should have on hand sample policies of all three groups of insurance in both the juvenile i and the adult department. This 1 form of advertisement should t prove very effective in selling * the SSCU. j AND IT IS FURTHER RE- t SOLVED that the above men- 1 tioned resolutions be considered ( at the regular convention in i 1940. 1 Resolution was adopted. < ❖ 1 A message of greetings in ( Slovene was extended by Mrs. , Shepel, in behalf of the Slovene Women’s Union, to the entire , delegation. Chairman Stanley Progar ! then called on conference secretary Joe Milkovich to read the correspondence for the attention of delegates. Letters and telegrams of sincere wishes and congratulations for a successful conference and convention were received from the following sources: John Urek, secretary lodge 11, Omaha, Neb.; A.

The gavel was then turned , back to Stanley Progar, conven-! tion chairman, who called on all . delegates for further business. . Each delegate expressed his or . her greetings to the delegates, and thanks and appreciation to [ the supreme board for making I their attendance possible. Ath-i letic Commissioner Louis M. Ko-; lar then spoke on the SSCU’s : official organ, Nova Doba, and > encouraged contributions from ) the English-speaking members. Vice-chairman Joseph Ko-’ vach suggested publicity arrangements in our official or-J gan for future membership campaigns. Our editor-mana-ger, Anton J. Terbovec presented reasons for some of the policy pursued during the last cam-paign. 3 Campaign publicity director ? “Little Stan” Pechaver express-; ed his thanks and appreciation - to the delegation for the fine cooperation extended him during j the campaign ended on June 30, - 1939. He impressed every one - with his witty remarks and sub-3 tie humor. ’ Elsie Desmond read the minutes of the third juvenile con-5 vention, held the day before in conjunction with the second national athletic conference. Chairman Stanley Progar called on John Kardell, chairman of the credentials commit-31 tee to return to the delegates " | their certificates of merit. Con-1 vention was then officially »’ , closed at 11:45 a. m. i e Stanley Progar, Chairman e Emil Zebre, Rec. Secretary y Anne Prosen, Rec. Secretary r ------------ Righto !- Specialist: “Could you pay ,- for an operation if I thought 5, one was necessary?” -I Patient: “Would you find one e necessary if I could not pay for e it?” i RESOLUTION OF THANKS : j TO BOARD OF EDUCATION < OF INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 12 For the splendid co-operation accorded the delegates to the second national athletic conference by the Board of Education of Independent School District No. 12, Ely, Minnesota, the body of delegates assembled at the Washington Auditorium on August 5th, resolve to express a j vote of thanks to the entire board for the use of the Washington School Auditorium. I Members of the Board of Education of Independent School District No. 12 consists of: Jack Gianotti, Ivan Tauzell, John Dragovan, Anton Kotchevar, Ben Richard and Dr. Taito Aho-| la. Resolution was adopted. William Stravor, lodge 228, : Cheswick, Pa., submitted the following resolution: WHEREAS: The English- conducted lodges were organized to promote a better under-i standing between the younger i members of the South Slavonic Catholic Union and to find ways and means to malje the South Slavonic Catholic Union better for all the members and WHEREAS: Its officers and members, at all times, promise that their influence would be ( executed in behalf of the Union ; and to make better a good organization ; IT IS THEREFORE RE-; SOLVED by the delegates to the 2d athletic conference that the following material changes be considered by the Union ; To advocate a bigger and better sports program for the members of the South Slavonic | Catholic Union. As our Union has proven more generous than ' any other society in granting funds for sports, our sports should be on a larger scale. When the Union issues a new j policy, an identification card ; should accompany every new ■; policy. Since many SSCU mem- • bers do considerable traveling, an identification card may prove very helpful in case of an acci- . dent, especially for those mem-.jbers carrying accident insur-i ance. In regards to the paper and ' the by-law books, change should . be effected. As it is, the English . section begins where the Slovene • section ends and therefore i ! causes much comment. If it were > re-arranged somewhat so as to : prove attractive to the non-Slo- • vene members, the understanding of the laws and the ways of the Union would be greatly increased and new members would be enrolled more frequently. In reference to juvenile activities, the delegation believes that more juvenile activities should be encouraged thru the Nova Doba. This is because the juveniles of today will be the salesmen of tomorrow if we give them encouragement and reasons for liking the SSCU. The delegates also believe that the Union should issue SSCU emblems both for automobiles and sticker types to be placed upon traveling bags when members travel to Supreme Board meetings and to the various conventions. As this is an inexpensive way to advertise the Union, it should be encouraged. When the Union issues instructions for secretaries, the delegates are in favor of the ini' structions being placed in , a neat mimeograph book form or on attractive placards instead of just publishing them in the Nova Doba. In this manner, the secretaries can file them away and always have them at their finger tips. It is \he belief of the delegates that when selling the SSCU to prospective members, more would be sold if literature or booklets explaining the | SSCU were to be had to give the considered when a lodge under- j I takes a program of sports, and 11 therefore resolve to appeal to i ( all the younger element to place I the same emphasis in the en-1 rollment of new members as j < they do in organizing and main- ‘ taining lodge athletic teams. Or ," follow the splendid example of ( some SSCU units who prefer to ^ give sports secondary considera- j tion—the welfare of our SSCU ^ the first consideration. Resolution was accepted by | ^ | the delegates. ’ j Ralph Kovacic, lodge 138, Export, Pa., submitted the follow- ’ ing resolution: CLOSER CO-OPERATION ' BETWEEN GROUPS For several years a wide gap j-of indifference has separated the senior and the English-speaking members, for no ap- j parent reason. Members of the English-conducted lodges and j members of the Slovene-conducted lodges acted as total j | strangers, contrary to the broth-1 < erly spirit practised by the fol- : lowers of fraternalism. During ; the past year several lodges, from each group have shown some concern and interest for each other, with the result that both the members of the English-conducted and Slovene-conducted lodges, including the auxiliary clubs, have profited I immensely through the mutual j understanding. , Delegates assembled at the i ! second national athletic confer-! ence resolve to urge all members i in every community to strive for closer contact between the: young and the senior groups; to take mutual interest in the programs of entertainment sponsored by both the senior and the j unior groups; to attend meetings of united SSCU lodges, such as the various state SSCU federations; and to urge expression of ideas and opinions i in English at such meetings. Resolution was adopted. j 1 * I Anne Prosen, lodge 173, Cie- j ' veland, O., presented the fol-' lowing resolution: THANKS TO CITY OF ELY I i Be it resolved that the dele- i gates to the second national ath- i letic conference assembled in the Washington School Audi- j ’ | torium, extend their vote of j thanks to the City of Ely, Min-’ i nesota, through the administrative officers consisting of Mayor Bery Lambert, aldermen Joseph ’ Milkovich, Archie Heddoff, Joe ; Sprietzer, John Debltz, Frank Zgonc and Frank Vranisch, for their kind consideration in extending the use of the Community City Auditorium and the splendid municipal band. Resolution unanimously I adopted. ❖ Anna Crawley, lodge 190,1 Butte, Mont., submitted for consideration the following reso-! lution: RESOLUTION OF THANKS TO COMMITTEES IN CHARGE Entertainment of delegates to conventions, conferences, are considered an important part of the program prepared by the j committee in charge, who act; as hosts. This committee, head-ded by general chairman Anton Zbasnik, deserves an expression , of thanks in the opinion of delegates to the second national athletic conference. The refore, delegates assembled at the Washington Auditorium resolve to extend a vote of thanks to the various committees in charge of providing accommodations for the delegates, during their stay in Ely, and all the other committees who in any way provided entertainment for delegates. Resolution was accepted as read. ❖ Angela Grahek, lodge 184, Ely, Minn., submitted the fol-; lowing resolution: Our Union is neither religious 1 nor political, and accepted into 1 its fold are people of all nations 1 belonging to the white race. We ! -are all brothers and sisters in : our Organization, regardless of i nationality, source of origin, and religious or political affiliations, which might bind us as individuals. It would be praise-J worthy were our unbiased bylaws supported by a non-leaning name, and one that would reflect us as real Americans and as true brothers and sisters. In our opinion a suitable change in name would benefit our Organization and contribute to its progress in the future, i The foregoing proposal was adopted by the delegates. Joseph L. Mishmas, lodge 1, Ely, Minn., submitted the following resolution: RESOLUTION j Whereas, The present Supreme Board of our South Slavonic Catholic Union of America, decided to hold this Second | National Athletic Conference, and Whereas, The next Regular Convention of our Union is to be held in the City of Waukegan, Illinois, in the year 1940, at which the decisions of the pres-1 ent Supreme Board will be considered and reviewed; and therefore, be it Resolved, That the said next Regular. Convention is hereby solicited and requested by the delegates in attendance at this Second National Athletic Conference to approve the action of the said Supreme Board ; and be i it further Resolved, That the next Supreme Board which will be elected at the next Regular Convention to hold office during the, ensuing four years, is hereby j petitioned to decide on holding another National Athletic Conference as soon as deemed advisable; and be it further Resolved, That this Resolu-, tion be placed on the records of this Athletic Conference, and . that a copy of the same be pre-; sen ted to the next Regular Convention. The foregoing resolution was accepted as read. ! 1 * John Pucel, lodge 85, Aurora, , Minn., read the following reso- ’ i i- lution: 1 SPORTS THAT PROMOTE FRATERNAL GOODWILL To create goodwill and good fellowship among the members i i in the opinion of the delegates, assembled at the second rational athletic conference, one of the purposes for promotion of athletics within our SSCU lodges. For this reason, the. second athletic conference, held in Ely, Minnesota on August 5, resolves io favor the promotion of only such sports within the SSCU units as will stimulate a fraternal spirit among its members.’ The delegates are further resolved to oppose the promotion of such sports as shall glorify the athlete for athletic’s sake only. Resolution was adopted. * Frank Mekina, lodge 44, Barberton, O., presented the following resolution: SPORTS—SECONDARY CONSIDERATION On some occasion SSCU lodges have placed all the emphasis on sports when pursuing an athletic program overlooking entirely the primary purpose underlying the promotion of sports within our groups.

S piknikom bo združen “corn roast.” Vse to > se bo vršilo na Klemenčičevem j svetu v Prestu. Za plesno godbo ( bo poskrbel Frank Bozovičar, za uteho lakote in žeje pa bo odbor pripravil primerne dobrote. * Na prireditev so prijazno vabljeni vsi člani JSKJ in vsi dru-; gi rojaki in rojakinje iz te na- . selbine ter iz bližnje in daljne p okolice. Sobratu Terbovcu, ured- G niku Nove Dobe, se lepo zahva- C limo, ker nas je bil prav nepri- ( čakovano obiskal na našem zad- ^ njem pikniku. Razume se, da bi . ga tudi zdaj z veseljem sprejeli, 'j ne samo pennsylvanski hribi, ampak tudi člani društva št. 4 JSKJ. Komarje smo pa tako vse ] spekli na zadnjem pikniku, kojc smo s svečami Svetili. Od takrat i ni nobenega več videti v tej okolici. Torej zaradi strahu pred komarji naj nihče ne zamudi našega piknika v nedeljo 27. av- 1 gusta. I Pri tej priliki mi je naznaniti f žalostno novico, da je naše dru-! \ štvo dne 5. avgusta izgubilo do- c brega člana Petra Selišnika. Po- j j brala ga je po kratkem boleha- j j nju pljučnica v starosti 55 let. j j Zapušča žalujočo soprogo. Po- j greb se je vršil dne 8. avgusta na £ Narodno pokopališče v Bridge- , villu.

Veselica se bo vr-ji j šila v Community Building in|: se bo pričela ob 8. uri zvečer. Za j ples bo igral Martin Serro in : njegov trio. Vsi člani in članice : JSKJ ter vsi ostali rojaki in ro-j jakinje, ki bivajo v tem okrožju, j j so prijazno vabljeni na poset te j veselice.

Dopoldne bo uradno zborovanje društve- '■ ] n ih zastopnikov in odbornikov j federacije, popoldne pa veselica i z obširnim oderskim progra-j mom, katerega že pridno pri-1 pravijajo naši člani v Milwaukee j u z našo agilno sestro Pau-i 'lino Vogrich na čelu * pripravljalnega odbora. Kolikor smo > d ozda j culi v teh pripravah, bo “ to zopet zelo pomemben dan za • JSKJ. Več v tem bodo Mihvau-’ Čanje sami pisali pred no bo na- > počil dan prireditve. : Zato tem potom ponovno va- bim vsa ona društva tega okrož-i ja, ki še niso v&lar.jeaa v našo i federacijo, da naj sa do takrat - priglase za pristop, ter potem - tudi pošljejo svoje zastopnike 3 na mihvauško zborovanje. Mi i Chicažani bomo poskrbeli, da bo - naša udeležba kolikor mogoče , velika. Nadalje naznanjam, da bodo chicaška društva JSKJ obhajala slovesno obletnico ustanovitve naše federacije dne 22. oktobra v dvorani SNPJ na Lawndale Avenue in 27. cesti. V kolikor je program za to prireditev sestavljen, vemo, da bo pester in bogat, posebno na kulturno-za-bavnih točkah. Na odru boste videli šaljivo enodejanko, pevski zbor “Prešeren,” opernega pevca Tomaža Cukaleta, ter več drugih točk, ki jih bo predvajala naša mladina, kakor tudi šaljivi kuplet. Program se bo pričel ob dveh popoldne, zvečer pa bo plesna veselica v zgornjih in spodnjih prostorih. Članstvo našega društva tem potom vljudno yabim, da naj se kolikor mogoče udeležujejo bodočih sej, ker bomo imeli zelo važne razprave glede v tem dopisu omenjenih priredb. Joseph Oblak. še nekateri ne vedo za ta važni datum in za kraj, kjer se bo vršil naš piknik. Naj torej to važno novico še enkrat objavim : Piknik se bo vršil v nedeljo 27. avgusta na Dežmanovi farmi v Avon parku. Vsak član naj bi prečital to kratko poročilo ter 1 si isto zapomnil. Po društvenem sklepu plača vsak član 50 centov za tikete, če j se piknika udeleži ali ne. Kdor j pride na piknik, bo seveda lahko ! tikete zamenjal za razna okrepčila. Priporočljivo je, da se poj možnosti vsi člani in članice našega društva udeležijo tega piknika. Dolžnost vsakega je nekaj storiti za svoje društvo. Poleg, tega vsak potrebuje včasih nekoliko razvedrila v vsakdanji monotonosti, in tega bo deležen na pikniku. Končno je pa tudi i prav, da se vsaj včasih snidemo v veseli družbi vsi društveni čla- i ni in članice, da se bolje izpo- i znamo med seboj, člani so vabljeni, da pripeljejo s seboj na piknik tudi svoje otroke. Razume se, da so na piknik prijazno ; vabljen tudi vsi drugi rojaki in rojakinje tega okrožja. Tudi po- i setniki iz drugih mest nam bodo j dobrodošli. Za slučaj slabega vremena so na Dežmanovi farmi j na razpolago primerni prostori, j kjer bomo pod streho in se bo ; lahko zabava nemoteno dalje vršila. Torej, da se za gotovo vidi- i mo na Dežmanovi farmi v nedeljo 27. avgusta! — Za društvo št 108 JSKJ : Karl Rogel, tajnik. i i Johnstown, Pa. — Vsak teden j iščem v Novi Dobi kak dopis iz , našega mesta ,toda ne najdem | ničesar, četudi si naočnike nataknem. Torej sem se odločil, da i napišem par vrstic jaz. Delavske razmere v našem mestu so različne. Tisti, ki so toliko srečni, da imajo delo v tovarnah, vsaj za sol zaslužijo. Veliko večji reveži so premogar-1 ji, katerim dajo samo štiri dni dela na mešec. In tudi “security” podpore že par mesecev nič ne dobijo. Seveda, to so premogar-ji Bethlehem Steel Co. V našem mestu je tudi jeklarski kralj Charles Schwab. On je po cestah našega mesta travo zasejal, kot Mussolini v Trstu. Tam, namreč v Trstu, bo morda Hitler ti-Isto travo pokosil, kdo jo bo pri nas, pa za enkrat še ne moremo prerokovati. Mnogo naših ljudi dela tudi pri takozvanem cesarskem delu , oziroma pri WPA, po 43 centov I na uro in po šest ur na dan. Pri j takem zaslužku še ne bodo kmalu kapitalisti. V Pennsylvaniji pa imamo tudi “podcesarsko” ; delo, ki je plačano po 38 centov j na uro. Da ne bo kdo mislil, da sem kakšen kapitalist, ker sam sebe pri zaposlenju te ali one vrste j nič ne imenujem, naj povem, | da sem tudi jaz delal za Charlesa Schwaba v premogorovu dolgih 22 let. Tem sem si nabral v pljuča kamenitega prahu in sem vsled tega že zadnjih pet !e'>: nezmožen za delo. Pa naj bo dovolj o delu, tistem, ki je, in tistem, ki ga ni. Na svetu so prijetnejše stvari. Na primer, naše društvo Sv. Cirila in Metoda, št. 16 JSKJ, bo na soboto 2. septembra priredi-: lo plesno veselico v lastni dvorani na Morrellvillu. Veselica 1 se bo pričela ob 8. uri zvečer. V . j gornjih prostorih bo za mladino . | igral Gold Star orkester, v spod-L j njih prostorih bomo imeli pa j bolj domačo godbo za nas sta-i rej še. Priporočam vsakemu po-, I setniku, da si za tisto prilik' ) i obuje dobre čevlje, sicer bi se II mu znalo zgoditi, da bi v zgod i: njih jutranjih urah bos domoA i capljal. To pa baje ni prijetne .; po preplesani noči in tudi nič -; kaj moderno ni. - j Tisti, katerim ni znano, kje j< naša dvorana, naj se ustavi jo m . 423 Fairfield Avenue pri Jose i phu Modicu, in on jo bo z “reš e jpetlinom” pokazal. Na poset t -iveselice so vabljeni sobrati ii šj rojaki od blizu in daleč. Vab a| Ijeni so se'posebej Miha s hriba * : hitelo pod streho na plesišče, v j: 'avtomobile in kamer koli. Videti < : je bilo, da piknik bo na vsak ; način pokvarjen; če ga nam ni- : ! so pokvarili suhači, bodo nam ga pa mokri bogovi. Ljudje go ; na različne načine dajali dušita -svojim občutkom, in slišal sem celo zabavljico: “Sveti Alojzij \ se pa res slabo postavi za društvo svojega imena, še nobene- , ga piknika ni letos namočil dež kot tega!” Jaz sem se napravil . kot da nič ne slišim in vztrajal j ^ sem v upanju, da se bo obrnilo. • Nevihta ni trajala dolgo in ] ob peti uri smo imeli spet naj !> lepši poletni dan. Orkester Jo- i j žeta Koračina je pričel spet igrati poskočne komade, n jegovi ’ Ive sestri Victoria in Theresa j ta pomagali s slovenskimi po- ] pevkami, na griču se je trlo polno občinstva, na plesišču polno plesalcev, tam pa, kjer soi' tekle mokre dobrote, se je pa trlo odjemalcev. In spet sem slišal opazke: “Takega piknika pa j še ni bilo letos v tem okrožju i in toliko plesalcev-se le malo- j i j kdaj vidi na plesišču!” Posebno mladina je bila tako razigrane; volje, da nam je delala družbo skoro do 11. ure zvečer. V imenu društva št. 31 JSKJ se najlepše zahvaljujem vsem j rojakom Slovencem in bratom j, Hrvatom, ki so posetili nas pik-, nik in s tem pripomogli še k , dosti zadovoljivemu uspehu. Se- i ‘ daj, ko to pišem, nam kaže I j $28.30 čistega dobička od pik-', nika, pa bo še nekaj prišlo od;; neke strani. Tako, da prav za-; stonj se nismo trudili. Hvala i vsem, ki so prišli na naš piknik |, i z bližnje okolice, še prav po- j1 sebej pa tistim, ki so prišli iz 11 Ruffs Dale, Yukon, Jeannette,:1 Itussellton in Canonsburg, Pa.,; in iz Loraina, Ohio. Družine kot. j1 so Stemfler in Nemanič nikoli j ne pozabijo naših prireditev, j: Hvala lepa članom in članicami: drugih bratskih društev za po-. • set; ob priliki bomo skušali naklonjeno^ vrniti._ Posebej naj ; _ sezonvanm družim Ktlnovr m , družini Koračinovi za darila s farme in vrta.* Hvala tudi Mr. , Severju, oskrbniku Doma v Yu-konu, dasi se ni mogel udeležiti | piknika.

Dne 23. julija je umrl sobrat John Peresich, j star 59 let, rodom iz Kastva. Zapušča ženo, ki je že 20 let v zavodu, in štiri hčere, ki bivajo v Ratonu. N. M. Pokojnik je bil ; pokopan 25. julija v Ratonu, j New Mexico, kjer je družina j dolgo let bivala. Vsem, ki so kaj j pomagali ob priliki pokojnikove ; smrti in pogreba, se naše dru-j štvo naj lepše zahvaljuje. Drugi sobrat, ki smo ga izgubili, je bil Frank Krivec, član in • j podpredsednik našega društva, ■ star 63 let. Umrl je 31. julija • in pokopan je bil 4. avgusta. 11 Tukaj zapušča soprogo, dve hče--jri in enega sina, v Chicagu pa ,! dva pastorka. Na tem mestu na j - bo izražena lepa hvala lokalu • i St. 15 U.

Hvala tudi vsem 2 j sobratom in drugim rojakom in 11 rojakinjam, ki so se udeležili -pogrebov pokojnih sobratov. .; Pokojnikoma pa naj bo ohra-e njen blag spomin. — Za dru-e štvo št. 84 JSKJ : i | Matt Karcich, predsednik. o Youngstown, O. — Bilo je že h dvakrat sporočeno v našem gla->t: silti kje in kdaj se bo vršil naš e [letošnji piknik, kljub temu pa H VEm RSSfl ki RSl KS 83ea »s23 Kas BBS* P gg m H' « KAD IVO J KKIIAR: K S E M I SI R 1 S 1 jP KOMAN P S Wl ss® i£2 saiga! “Hvala velikemu!” je vzkliknila Evalasta. “Rešen je,” je dejal Savadagak. “Rešen ... rešen ...” Upa in Ista sta znova zaihteli, sedaj od sreče. Buramak je prvič zopet jasno mislil. Z rahlim, komaj opuzlji-virn smehljajem je opazoval princeso, Upo, I:>to in Savadagaka, potem je tiho zašepetal: “Rešeni...” “Zaenkrat,” je dejala princesa. “Srečno smo prispeli na ladjo! in zvečer, ko to legla tema na Kalo, bomo odpluli dalje, v; domovino.” “V domovino...” je zašepetal tekač, in ta beseda je delovala nanj kakor balzam. Odvrnila mu je misli od rane, prestane-1 ga trpljenja in ga navdala z novim hrepenenjem, z novo vero vi-življenje. Na galeji, ki je bila skrita pod zavesami ovijalk, je zavladalo I radostno razpoloženje. Dovršen je bil srečno prvi del velikega j dejanja. Med njimi je bila princesa princes, njihova gospodarica, j in mladi junak je bil iztrgan smrti. Nič več jih ni strašila nego- j tovčst in nevarnost potovanja po veletoku in po morju proti | večerni strani, bregovom dežele visokih gora in prostranih pla- J nost, nad katerimi veslajo s svojimi širokimi krili ponosni; kondorji. Potem se je dan spremenil v noč. Vojščaki so polegli in i zaspali, da se odpočijejo za napore, ki so jih čakali. Savadagak j je določil straže in se nato še sam podal k počitku. Napori dveh !! noči in v nemirnem čakanju preživljenega dneva so ga utrudili,! da je naglo zaspal. Tudi Buramak je zadremal, sedaj ne več v nezavesti, onemogel od mrzlice, marveč' v novi veri v ozdravlje-: nje in srečno vrnitev v domovino. Ista in Upa sta vrste se bedeli j poleg njega in mu stregli, ko se je zopet prebudil. Princesi Eva 1 lasti so uredili naj udobnejši prostor v podkrovju in ga okrasili: s cvetjem orhidej, ki so ga nabrali v pragozdu. Ves dan je potekel brez najmanjšega dogodka. V goščavi soj, ščebetale ptice, po rokavu so pa leno čofotali krokodili, ko da sej ne bi brigali za nič na sveta, razen za hrano in toploto sončnih j žarkov. In vendar je bil dan silno dolg, morda že zaradi samega | čakanja. Čele tik preu večerom je pričel pihati po mrtvem rokavu j navzdol najprej komaj opazijiv, nato pa vedno večji veter, ozna- j njevalee nevihte, ki je grozila iz oblakov, ki so -se zbirali na j nebu. Te, vsak dan se ponavljajoče nevihte so napovedale pričetek deževne dobe, ki je men la napočiti vsak trenotek kot ločnica, med atlantsko jesenjo in pomladjo.

Kdor ne bo imel plačanega asesmenta ob pravem času ,bo pač naznanjen na glavni urad kot tak in to pomeni sus-pendacijo. člani in članice, ki se hočejo' izogniti neprilik, naj se držijo pravil. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 92 JSKJ: Louis Urbančič, tajnik.

Kmalu bomo začelij 'misliti, kateri datum bi bil bolj j primeren za prireditev piknika j j rihodnje leto. Prav z gotovost- j io pa ne moremo računati s pikniki v bodočnosti, ker so nam j tv. v Penmylvaniji že začeli nagajati suhaqi. V nedeljo 30. julija so bili vdrli na piknik v ■ Pitcairnu. in razrezali cevi. Piknik društva Sv. Alojzija, j ' t. 31 JSKJ je bil naznanjen za ; nedel jo 13. avgusta in začelo j iv.is je skrbeti, če tudi k nam i v ride jo suhači in nam prireditev; pokvarijo. Predsednik in jaz sva; podal:’ k oskrbniku prostora n-> Church Hillu in sva odpovedala piknik. To je bilo 0. avgu-1 sta. Ko dospeva domov, se je I i ravno pripeljala mladina 3 pik-; ' nika v Pitcairnu, in ko sva tem j mladim povedala, da sva preidi- j rala piknik, so vsi protestirali, j češ, kaj se bojimo. Tudi v Pit- j .Dimu da ni bilo nikakih nepri-: lik, dasi se je vse vršilo ob: glavni ce3ti in v vseh ozirih javno. Moj sin Edward mi je ioj‘i 1. da če pridejo suhači na | naš piknik, naj kar njega ozna-; čim za bossa cele prireditve.; Preudarjali smo na razne načine in končno smo 3e odločili, da se t o piknik vršil in da bomo delali: kot po navadi. Komaj pa je piknik nekoliko ! v tek prišel, nekako ob štirih popoldne, je začelo deževati kot za stavo. Slavno občinstvo je DOi Ifei ',4j|ižjžd Ely, Minn. — Pred par tedni sem uobil enotedenske počitnice pri rudniku, kjer delam že nad 30 let, pa seru se namenil tisto priliko izrabiti za obisk Cleve-; landa, največje slovenske naselbine v Ameriki. Že večkrat sem 1 želel videti to mesto, pa noben-krat nisem našel prave priliko. Zdaj kako leto dni pa uvi i m • moja hčerka in tako sem imel nekoliko bolj v^rok obiskati Cleveland. I Ko se jc ustav il vlak na postaji v Clevelandu ter sva s soprogo izstopila, se spr va nisva, vedela kam obrniti, ker je po rtaja tako velika. Zato sva kar korakala v siheti, kamor so sle največje množice 1 judi in sva prišla na cesto, lam sem poklical taksi in šoferju povedal, kam naj naji zapelje. Mislim pa, da je vedel, da ima opraviti z dvema tujcema, pa je ^ or il m:'o na okoli, da je prevozil več milj in napravil s tem večji račun. Končno smo le dospeli da bra tranca Josepha Kovacha, kjer stanuje Snoja hčerka. Vs.i Ko-vaeheVa družina nama je bila na razpolago z vso postrežbo, dokler sva se mudila v Clevelandu; tudi stanovala sva tamkaj. Med prvimi sva obiskala družino mojega brata Anton? j Telička, katerega nisem videl ži: \ I?1 'C\ odkar je odšel iz Elya. Nadalje sva obiskala druži- : no Horvat, Chesnik, Bombich, I 1 Po'.’tuna, Hribar, Godec, Omer-ra, Kordan, Ark, Onebo /ee, I’ r-l;o. Steiner, Lonckar.
