/V NEC z dne 15. junija citira
v uredniški koloni par stavkov
jz nekega članka znamenitega
ameriškega znanstvenika dr.
Millikana, v katerem je slednji!
izpovedal svojo vero v Boga.
Ampak A. S. citira le tiste
stavke, ki so voda na mlin or¬
todoksni religiji, prezrl pa je
__ namenoma seveda — druge
stavke, ki jasno pričajo, da dr.
Millikanova vera v Boga je vse
drugo, le ortodoksna — dog¬
matična ni. Z bistvom dr. Mil-
likanovega nazora se lahko
strinja vsak resničen svobodo¬
mislec. On piše n. pr. med dru¬
gim:

“Ne briga me, da li moj po- i
jem (Boga) soglaša z vašimi |
ali ne, kajti oba pojma, vaša
in moja, morata biti po znača¬
ju vprašanja nejasna in nedo¬
ločna. Še najmanj pa sem se
pripravljen prerekati s člove¬
kom, ki navdaja z duševnostjo
prirodo ter pravi, da on Boga
pojmuje kot dušo vesoljstva.”

A. S. je tudi prezrl “znan¬
stvenikov pojem” o Bogu ozi¬
roma prirodi dr. Einsteina, ka¬
terega dr. Millikan z odobrava¬
njem citira ter sprejema za
svojega. In dr. Eeinstein je
vendar znan svobodomislec!

Manire gospodov pri A. S. u-
tegnejo biti dobre za profesio¬
nalne teologe, ampak pošten
časnikar, še manj pa mislec, se

takih metod ne poslužuje!

“METROPOLA” ALI — MET¬
ROPOLA?”

G oste - konvenčnike

smo imeli v Clevelandu.
Lepo število jih je bilo. Neka¬
teri so bili že prej med nami.
Mnogi so bili prvič tukaj. In
zdaj pišejo in poročajo.

Bili so po večini zadovoljni,
mnogi presenečeni. Nekateri se
celo divijo razgibanosti in pest¬
rosti našega izživljanja, zlasti
jih je presenetila višina kul¬
turnega nivoja. Globok vtis je
napravila nanje mladina, ki po¬
je, govori in igra slovensko.

Lagali bi, če bi rekli, da nam
hvala ne ugaja. Morda nam ce¬
lo pomaga izbiti nesrečni infe-
riornostni kompleks, ki je od
nekdaj notoričen privesek slo¬
venskega Clevelanda, pa da bo¬
mo metropolo začeli pisati ce¬
lo brez narekovajev.

To bi bilo zdravo za vse. Saj
Cleveland se bo moral naučiti
nositi čim dalje večjo odgovor¬
nost. Logika razmer ga direkt¬
no sili v to. Če temu ne bo kos,
bo kriv greha, ki se bo mašče¬
val nad vsemi naprednimi Slo¬
venci v Ameriki — vsi bomo ;
trpeli.

S IDNEY HILLMAN, pred¬
sednik organizacije obla¬
čilnih delavcev, Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America,
je imel pred par dnevi na zbo¬
rovanju nevv-yorške Labor par-
ty v New Yorku govor, v kate-
y e na je analiziral današnji polo¬
žaj in potrebe z delavskega sta¬
lišča ter poudarjal nujno po¬
trebo nadaljevanja dela za sa¬
mostojno delavsko politično ak¬
cijo.

V “Napredku” smo zadnji
teden objavili uredniški članek
0  tem vprašanju. Ob čitanju
Hillmanovega govora smo bili
presenečeni nad podobnostjo
utemeljevanj in argumentov, ki
smo jih navajali mi v tem in
^ r ugih člankih, objavljenih v
Preteklosti, in Hillmanovimi iz-

Zvezna vlada posegla v jeklar¬
sko stavko

Apel, ki ga je naslovil vodja
C. I. O. gibanja John L. Lewis
na predsednika Roosevelta, da
zvezna vlada poseže v položaj,
ki je nastal vsled stavke jek¬
larskih delavcev proti štirim
neodvisnim korporacijam ni bil
brez uspeha. Predsednik je pre¬
tekli torek na konferenci s
časnikarji izjavil, da ne more
rezumeti, zakaj se korporacije,
ki pravijo, da so pripravljene
pogajati se z unijo ter skleniti
z njimi ustmeni dogovor, zoper¬
stavljajo podpisanim pogodbam.
Priznanje unije v obliki podpi¬
sanih kontraktov je namreč
poglavitna zahteva jeklarske
unije. Kompanije se temu upi¬
rajo z izgovorom, da Wagner-
jeva delavska postava tega di¬
rektno in izrecno ne zahteva,
Najbolj zagrizeno opozicijo
proti priznanju unije v obliki
pisanih kontraktov vodi pred¬
sednik Republik korporacije
Tom Girdler iz Clevelanda, ki
nastopa kot vodja jeklarskih
baronov.

Že naslednji dan je delavska

jnica Perkins po naročilu j
■edsednika imenovala odbor j
eh oseb za posredovanje vj
avki. Osobje odbora je tako, j
. vzbuja upanje, da njegovo:
>sredovanje ne bo zaman. V;
Iboru so: Charles P. Taft, sin j
)kojnega predsednika Tafta;;
loyd K. Garrison, ravnatelj!
•avne fakultete na univerzi |
•žave Wisconsin in pravnuk j
ovitega Williama Lloyda Gar-]
sona, ki je bil vodja za od-]
•avo suženjstva, ter Edward
McGrady, ki je bil unijski
'ganizator, ki je bil Samuel
ompers predsednik A. F. of L. j
daj pa je pomožni delavski
ijnik in je kot tak v zadnjih
tih pomagal razvozljati že
i  stotine delavskih sporov.
Odborniki C. I. O. so nazna-;
ili, da bodo s posdedovalnim
Iborom z veseljem sodelovali, j
lani odbora so se nastanili v,
levelandu ter v pondeljek že
ičeli s svojim delom. Jeklar¬
ji magnati sicer imenovanja
>ga odbora niso prav nič ve¬
di, ampak dvomljivo je, da
i se zoperstavljali njegovemu
ozivu za pogajanja.

Vladni odbor ima v smislu
akona tudi moč nastopiti v
togi razsodnika, ako bi obe
trani pristali na to ter se za¬
dali, da bosta odločitev spre¬
di za merodajno.

overner Earl proglasil obsed¬
no stanje v Jolinstoivnu

Bil pa je že tudi skrajni čas,
a se je zganila zvezna vlada,
ajti nevarnost je bila, da se
Johnstovvnu, Pa., ponovi tra-
edija, ki se je na Spominski
an odigrala v South Chicagu.
;ethlehem Steel Co., kjer je
niia pred tednom dni m pol
klicala stavko, je namreč
ztrajala na “postavni pravici
o obratovanja ter s pomočjo
Lipana Shieldsa, ki je pro 1
tavkarjem organiziral vigi-

STRESAJO SLOVENIJO

nik je odgovoril, da za to ne
vidi nobenega vzroka, kajti
gov. Earl ga še ni vprašal za
pomoč.

Napetost na johnstovvnski
fronti je prikipela na vrhunec,
ko je John L. Lewis kot odgo-,
vor na izzivanje vigilantskega
župana naznanil, da se bo v ne-|
deljo 20. junija vršil v mestu
masni protesni shod, na ka¬
terega se je med drugim imelo
vdeležiti 40,000 unijskih pre-
mogarjev iz okoliških krajev.
Bati se je bilo, da bodo vigi-
lanti napadli delavski shod, na¬
kar je šerif Boyle, apeliral na
governerja, da poseže v akcijo.
To se je tudi takoj zgodilo, da-
siravno ne tako kot so delali
pennsylvanski governerji ne¬
koč. Earl, ki je demokrat new-
dealskega kalibra, je odredil
525 mož državne policije v me¬
sto, ter proglasil v mestu in o-
kolici delno obsedno stanje, ob¬
enem pa je ukazal takojšno
razoroženje vigilantov in za¬
prtje vseh obratov Bethlehem
korporacije v okraju.. Župan je
s tem izgubil oblast nad mest¬
no policijo. Medtem ko je spr¬
va grozil, da se bo governer-
jevemu ukazu zoperstavil, pa
se je hitro premislil ter pristal
na višjo oblast. Godrnjaje je
to storil tudi predsednik jeklar¬
ske korporacije Grace. Čim se
je to zgodilo, je Lewis napo¬
vedani protestni shod preklical.

Dva stavkarja ubita, več ranje¬
nih v Youngstoivnu

V istem času, ko je pametna
akcija gov. Earlea preprečila
skoro gotovo krvolitje v Penn-
sylvaniji, pa je na ohijskem
stavkarskem sektorju v soboto
zvečer tekla kri. Šerif Mahon-
ing okraja Elser je z deputiji
naskočil stavkarje, ki so mas¬
no piketirali pred obrati Re- J
public korporacije, in ko so de-|
lavci in njih žene le vztrajali
na pravici do piketiranja, so
deputiji začeli streljati. Na li¬
cu mesta je padel mrtev neki
38-letni delavec z imenom John
Bogovich, očividno naš človek,
Hrvat ali Slovenec. Ranjenih
je bilo sedem oseb, med njimi
neki stavkar z imenom James
Esperjesi tako resno, da je že
naslednji dan podlegel ranam.

Pred Republic tovarno v
Cantonu je v petek prišlo do
spopada med stavkarji in sku¬
pino stavkolomcev, v katerem
je bilo sedem oseb ranjenih.

V soboto je število pokolja,
ki ga je policija vprizorila 30.
maja v So. Chicagu, narastlo
na deset, ko je umrl za ranami
neki zamorec z imenom Lee
Tesdale, ki zapušča vdovo in
štiri otroke. Unijski odvetniki
so obenem začeli s pripravami
za civilne tožbe proti posamez¬
nim policistom, ki so povzročili
strahoviti masaker.

Senatni odseki preiskujejo ob¬
tožbe, izvirajoče iz stavke

Zadnji teden je senatni od¬
sek za civilne svobodščine, ka¬
teremu predseduje senator La
Follettte, v Chicagu preiskoval
omenjeni masaker. Zastopniki
odbora so zaslišali celo vrsto

NOVICE  IZ ŽIVLJENJA
NAŠIH LJUDI ŠIROM
AMERIKE

Sklepajoč iz vesti v ameri¬
ških listih, se je politična nape¬
tost v Jugoslaviji zadnji čas
zopet zelo povečala. . Poročila
tudi govore o resnih nemirih
v Sloveniji, ki so jih izzvali ju¬
goslovanski fašisti, očividno ta-
kozvani “Pofovci”. (Ime izvira
iz začetnih črk organizacije
“Patrijotski omladinski front”,
v kateri so organizirani eks¬
tremni jugoslovanski naeijona-
listi.)

Prva vest pred dobrim ted¬
nom dni je javila, da je bil v
Celju s skupino tovarišev gene¬
ral Peter Živkovič, ki je bil za
časa vlade kralja Aleksandra
po suspendaciji ustave faktični
diktator v Jugoslaviji. Glasom
omenjenega poročila je moral
Živkovič bežati v bolniškem vo¬
zu. Sledili so baje nemiri v
Ljubljani, v katerih je bila ena
oseba ustreljena, več pa je bi¬
lo ranjenih. Mnogo oseb je bi¬
lo aretiranih.

podrobno poročilo, na katero
opozarjamo zlasti člane ome¬
njenega društva.

— Drugo obletnico svoje u-
stanovitve bo obhajalo prihod¬
njo nedeljo 27. junija društvo
št. 239 v North Braddocku, Pa.,
z zanimivim piknikom, ki se
bo vršil na Church Hill prosto¬
ru v Turtle Creek, Pa. To dru¬
štvo je sicer mlado, ampak v
kratki dobi svojega obstoja je
pokazalo veliko volje za napre¬
dek Zveze, zato je želeti, da se
člani po sosednjih naselbinah

padov med jugoslovanskimi fa¬
šisti in protifašisti, v katerih
je bila ena oseba ubita, mnogo
pa je bilo ranjenih, in da je
bil sokolski zlet vsled izgredov
preklican.

JUG VABI INDUSTRIJE

Južne države se zadnja leta ja¬
ko trudijo, da bi privabile in¬
dustrije iz severnih krajev. Na¬
vadno se poudarja, da so de¬
lavci na ameriškem jugu z
manj zadovoljni ko na severu
in da so tudi bolj krotki. Dr¬
žava Louisiana ‘pa je lansko
jesen sprejela zakon, da bodo
industrije, ki se naselijo v dr¬
žavi, skozi deset let proste vsa¬
kega davka. Kot posledica so

v Willow Springsu. Piknika se
bo tudi vdeležila skupina čla-J

INOZEMSKAKRONIKA

Premijer Blum resigniral

Vlada premierja Bluma, ki
je bila na krmilu skozi eno le¬
to in petnajst dni, kar je za
francoske vlade že dolga doba,
je v nedeljo položil ostavko,
potem ko je senatna zbornica
drugič zavrnila njegovo zahte¬
vo za širšo oblast v svrho reše¬
vanja čedalje bolj perečih fi¬
nančnih razmer.

Blum, ki je 65 let star in ži¬
dovskega pokolenja, je bil prvi
socijalistični premijer v Fran¬
ciji. Imel je od vsega počeLka
skrajno težavno pozicijo, kajti
ob njegovem nastopu je izgle-
dalo kot da je dežela na pragu
civilne vojne. Njegov kabinet
se je moral neprestano loviti
med desničarskim krilom ljud¬
ske fronte, ki jo predstavlja ta-
kozvana radikalna socijalistič-
na stranka (francoski liberal¬
ci), in pa levičarskim, katero
tvorijo komunisti. Izbruh civil¬
ne vojne v Španiji je vladni po¬
ložaj napravil še bolj težaven.
Največja zavira vseskozi pa je
bil konservativni senat.

Vendar je Blumova vlada iz¬
vršila veliko važnega dela. Na
njeno inicijativo je bilo spre¬
jetih celo vrsto zakonov za pro-
tekcijo delavca in konzumenta,
ena njenih največjih zaslug pa
je podržavljen je municijske in
orožne industrije.

Predsednik Lebrun je sesta¬
vo novega kabineta poveril ra¬
dikalu Chautempsu, ki je bil v
Blumovem kabinetu notranji
minister. Ako se mu posreči
sestaviti novo vlado, bo imel
v nji kak ministerski portfelj
najbrže tudi Blum.

države. Bili so samo 5!  0 milj
od Oaklanda, Cal., ki je bil njih
cilj. Ta drzni polet je brez dvo¬
ma večjega pomena kot je bil
Lindberghov polet iz Ne .v Tor¬
ka v Pariz. Podvzet je bil, da
se preizkusi možnosti redne
zrakoplovske službe med Rusi¬
jo in Ameriko preko pokrajin,
kjer vladata večni led in sneg.
Pomniti je treba, da se je polet
vršil preko arktičnih pokrajin,
katerih še ni videlo čl »veško
oko. Neuradno je ugotc oljeno,
da so drzni avijatiki j releteli
razdaljo 5,420 milj

Letalo, ki je bilo od vrha do
tal izdelano v Rusiji, je bilo v
zraku 63 ur in 17 minut. Glav¬
ni pilot, 33-letni Čelakov, je
ves čas sam vodil letalo, ne da
bi kaj zavžil, medtem ko
sta Beljakov in Bajbukov zav-
žila malo čaja z limono. Po na¬
ročilo sovjetskega poslanika se
je instrumente letala takoj za¬
pečatilo in poslalo v Washing-

izjavili, da so imeli dovolj ga-
solina še za 750 milj, ampak
ko so prišli v Oregon, so nale¬
teli na meglo in neugodno \ rc -

NAŠE FEDERACIJE

EU

ILA JE DOBA v življenju našega naseljevanja v
Ameriki, ko so društva med nami rastla ko gobe
_ po dežju. Naselbina, ki ni štela vsaj toliko dru¬
štev kot je imela saloonov, je bila resno na sumu, da ni
posebno napredna. Sicer pa razmerje med salooni in
društvi ni bilo čisto slučajno. Lastnik saloona, ki je spa¬
dal med bolj “kunštne” in podjetne ljudi v naselbini, je
bil v mnogih slučajih organizator društev. Imel je na¬
vadno kako posebno sobo ali malo dvorano, kjer je
društvo obdržavalo svoje seje. To je bilo priročno za
društvo. Ko pa je bila seja končana, so imeli društveni
bratje suha grla in so stopili k bari. To je bilo priročno
in koristno za saloonerja.

Biti društveni uradnik — zlasti še predsednik —
je bila tiste čase velika čast in na račun te časti se je
nekdaj med nami “predihalo” marsikak sodček piva in
druge pijače in tudi cigare so kadili društveni bratje,
za katere je plačal novoizvoljeni predsednik društva, če
je bil kak vpliven društveni uradnik na letni seji pora¬
žen in je bil na njegovo mesto izvoljen kdo drugi, se je
marsikdaj zgodilo, da je bilo nakljub ustanovljeno no¬
vo društvo, s čemur si je poraženec ohladil jezo in raz¬
galjenost in tako je bila; domovina rešena.

Te razmere so trajale nekako do časa, ko je izbruh¬
nila svetovna vojna. Takrat je bil dotok naseljencev
ustavljen avtomatično, nekaj let pozneje pa zakonito.
Kmalu po tem so ljudje začeli uvidevati, da mnogošte-
vilnost društev, zlasti še, ako gre za društva, ki pripa¬
dajo eni in isti organizaciji, ni vselej znamenje napred¬
ka, temveč da preveč društev lahko pomeni škodo za
organizacijo. Na akru zemlje je mogoče posaditi ali vse-
jati le toliko krompirja, fižola in karkoli že, kolikor
praktične skušnje kažejo, da je pametno, ker drugače
se bo pridelek sam udušil. Nekaj odvisi seveda od ro¬
dovitnosti zemlje in pa kako pridno se jo obdeluje, am¬
pak vsaka stvar ima svoje meje iri prav tako zemlja. In
s človeškimi prizadevanji ni prav nič drugače. Ako v
kraju, kjer je prilika za obstoj dveh ali treh društev,
obstoji deset društev, je nemogoče, da bi vseh deset
društev dobro shajalo. Ni dvoma, da je bolje, ako ima
organizacija v gotovem kraju eno ali dvoje krepkih in
živahnih društev, kakor pa če jih ima več,, pa ni niti pri
enem pravega življenja.

Pod vplivom tega spoznanja so se marsikje društva
začela družiti, medtem ko so druga enostavno preneha¬
la, ko jim je zmanjkalo članov, ki so se razšli, prestopili
ali se preselili drugam..

PIKNIK IN PROSLAVA DRU¬

N. Braddock, Pa.  — Društvo
št. 238 SSPZ vabi vse člane in
nečlane iz okolice Pittsburgha,
da se vdeležite našega prvega
in zadnjega piknika te sezone,
ki ga priredimo dne 27. junija
na Church Hill pikniških pro¬
storih v Turtle Creek, Pa.. To
je na ravno tistih prostorih,
kjer smo imeli federacijsko se¬
jo in piknik. Gotovo se še spo¬
minjate, kako luštno smo se
imeli, čeprav nas je malo zeblo.

Za tiste, ki še niste bili na
tem prostoru, bomo nabili na¬
pise ob cestah “ To SSPZ pic-
nic”, da boste lažje našli kraj.
V slučaju pa da ne bi mogli
najti, vprašajte za Church Hill
Turtle Creek, Pa., kjer se ob-
držujejo pikniki.

Za plesalce bo igral dobro

ganizaciji. Če se ne motimo, so bila baš društva SSPZ
v Clevelandu, ki so pred dobrimi desetimi leti prva spro¬
žila idejo federacije; ta ideja se je od tedaj razširila po
drugih krajih in kopirale so je tudi druge slovenske or¬
ganizacije. Vsekakor so danes federacije priznan in uva-
ževan faktor našega bratskega podpornega gibanja. Pra¬
vila SSPZ jih tudi uradno priznavajo, določajoč njih
delokrog in smernice.

Nikakega dvoma ni, da je s pomočjo federacij mo¬
goče storiti mnogo koristnega za napredek organizaci¬
je. Pod zmožnim in razumnim vodstvom omogoča fe¬
deracija društvom uspehe, ki bi jih posamezno ne ime¬
lo nobeno društvo. Federacije lahko razvijajo samostoj¬
ne agitacijske programe, ki so najbolj praktični za raz¬
mere v njih teritoriju, stopajo kot celota v akcijo, kadar
so v teku kampanje, prirejajo skupne veselice, oderske
programe in piknike ter na razne druge načine jačijo ! -

Playing on rough, uneven grounds,
the Spartans on Sunday lost an exhibi-
tion game to their friendly rivals, the
Utopians after garnering a 9-3 lead at
the end of the fifth inning. Utopians
came back in the sixth to stage a seven
run rally which enabled them to take
the game away from the Spartans by a
,one run margin. Outstanding player
ffor the Spartans was Žagar who had
two singles and a triple. For Utopians,
Mesojedel had two triples.

Spartans scored in the first when Za-
.gar, lead-off man singled, stole second,
took third after Koman flied out, and
scored when Može flied out to deep left.
Utopians tied the score in the second
when Mesojedel hit a three bagger and
scored when Menilo doubled to left.

In the third, Spartans forged ahead
when J. Gorišek walked, stole second

out trying for third. Vidmar doubled and
Ed Potsch survived on a bad throw by
0  j Berger, pulling Tome off the bag. Ro-
sol sent both of them home with
single to short left. They scored two
0 i more in the seventh inning when both
j i Kalan and Vidmar whiffed, F. Pouhe
0 walked, Ed Potsch reached first for the
0 j third straight time by singling over
0 second and Rosol brought both of
q j them home with a double over third
0 base. He stepped off the base during a
0 j pitch, and the side was retired. Trail
0 [ Blazers were as tame as lambs until the

_j ninth inning. Vic’s were leading 9 to 5.

2 | Tome, the first man up, singled just in-
side the first base. Berger’s fourth futile
E  | attempt was a fly to right field. Then
0 j Okleshen pulled one over the third
0 j base, and while the bali was being re-
q  j trieved, he scored behind Tome. Carlig
q  j followed with a single between second
and short, held the bag while Brolick
fouled to pitcher for the second out, and
reached third on Jacksi’s single to
right. Joe took second on the throw in.
For a minute it appeared that the
4  j game was over, when Willie Tršar, a
Trail Blazer Junior, sent a wicked
grounder to F. Pouhe at short. Pouhe
trapped the bali, but instead of tagging
the runner going to third, he attempted,
to get the man at first. While stretching
his arm for the throw he stuck it right
at Jacksi racing for third, dropping the
bali. He claimed interference, and while
arguing with the ump, Bill Tršar raced
ali the way around and home with the
fifth run of inning making the score 10
to 9 in favor of Trail Blazers. The stars
of the game were Carlig at third and
Ernest Vrhovnik batching for Trail
Blazers, while for Victorians Venisnik
was outstanding with several good
catches in left field.

CHICAGO, 111. — T\venty-one mem¬
bers were in the attendance, when the
regular meeting of Trail Blazers was
called to order last Thursday. The num-
ber would have been greater had the
early comers stayed. But Nellie had a
date, Lou a union meeting, Aliče a
shower, etc. ... An unexpected visitor
was Bro. Louis Levstik of Cleveland,
the former Supreme Secretary, who
happened to pass through Chicago on
his way back home from a trip to the
Arrovvhead Country in Northern Min¬
nesota. Mr. Levstik was the organizer of
Trail Blazers’ Lodge and he is stili very
fond of us. However, ten years ago
95 per cent of the members attended the
meetlngs, he said. He expressed a hope
that the lodge will number at least 100
members when he comes around again.
Whereupon our president resolved that
from now on a “100 members” sign will
hang suspended in back of the officers’
desk until said number of members will
be reached. Including the Trail Blazers
Jrs. we number about 115 members.

Tony Ule, the dean of TB bachelors,
came around again. He worked nights
for the past several months. Another
face not seen at the meetings for ages
was that of Math Grahek. He had a rea-
son to be present—a brand new La
Salle šport coupe.

The free assessment was won by Ted
Stoffle. Ted and Millie missed several
such awards previously, so they made a
firm mind to be present at every meet¬
ing'. The wheel of fortune spun in their
favor.

Tickets for the Chicago SSPZ Federa-
tion picnic were distributed among
those present. Indications are that the
60 tickets intended for Trail Blazers will

driving up “meandering” Sygan Hill and, shortly, vvelcome
hands were being squeezed in mine . . . Among the first to be
introduced to me were the Kramzars’ (it was at their home I
first visited) ... I met Julia, the Vrtec secretary, and Julia, her
mother and Vrtec supervisor, who has already done so much to
help make the SSPZ popular in this vicinity . . . Others of the
family were soon entered in my book of new faces . . . Sister
Mary Visnikar and ali the Vrtec officers and members were
next.. . The attendance here was as nearly perfect as one could
wish and certainly it was among the finest and neatest looking
groups of boys and girls I’ve had the pleasure of meeting . . .
In a little while, their pictures were taken . . . Then the program
of the evening opened . . . The welcome address was given by
the Vrtec treasurer, Henry Ursic . . . Three instrumental solos,
one each by Paul Chappel, Junior Krek and Henry Ursic, fol-
lowed in rapid order . . . Short talks by brothers Leo Mur, John
Kvartich, Supreme President, and myself came next and then
the movies . . . Warm-as it was, few people left the hali before
the program was completed ... As reward for their excellent
behavior, performance and work in recent months, an appetizing
lunch was served in the lower hali to ali Vrtec members ... At
11:30 we left Sygan for Strabane, but not before having a chat
with Julia Kramzar, Dorothy Usnic, Frank Dolinar, Henry Ur¬
sic and Paul Chappel, ali of whom are active officers of one of
our most thriving Vrtec units . . . Congratulations to brother
Mur and sisters Julia Kramzar and Mary Visnikar who have
been largely responsible for the commendable work that.is be¬
ing done in Sygan among our Vrtec members . . . May the fu-
ture yield even greater successes.

The Challengers’ Rose Dance was stili in progress \vhen we
reached Strabane . . . The hali was filled to capacity . . . Five
carloads of Spartans and Utopians helped swell the throngs
mingling in and outside the hali . . . Everybody seemed to be
having a grand time . . . Visitors were there Hom Cleveland,
Bridgeville, Sygan, Niles, O., Washington, Burgettstown, Re-
public, Meadowlands, Canonsburg and many neighboring towns.
They raved about the mušic, decorations, friendliness of the peo¬
ple, etc . . . The Challengers’ 3rd Anniversary Rose Dance is re-
corded as a huge success and should prove another sales talk
medium for inducing prospects in the Strabane-Canonsburg
communities to join the SSPZ.

Sunday evening found us motoring to Burgettstown where
another group of SSPZ youngsters were awaiting our arrival . . .
Here, brother Eddie Lounder, secretary of the Vrtec, a bright
fellow if ever there was one, sister Hannah Laurence, hard-
working secretary of the Pirates, Lodge No. 234, Anna Lesko-
vich, Vrtec president and John Shuble, vice-president, and sev¬
eral other adult and junior members were arranging the tables
o|and chairs for the “Bingo Party” which was scheduled to pre-
ceed the movies, dancing and refreshments ... As the hours of
o the evening wore on, we met and talked with brothers and sisters
Joseph Durko (Pirate president), August, Jennie, Mary and
Frances Ferbežar, Rudy, Joe and Margaret Vajentic, Marinch
sisters, Guber sisters, Frank Laurich (formerly of the Supreme
Auditing Board), Frances Laurich, Tony Kucic and Andy “Spi-
der” Shuble, (who, as Vrtec members made a never-to-be-for-
gotten impression on the minds of the spectators at our 1936
National Athletic Meet in Chicago), Mary Dugas (all-around
athlete), Ray “Red” Daniels and his bride of a few days (just
back from their honeymoon) and ali the others ... It certainly
was good to meet them ali again, and from what I was told, I’m
sure, Cleveland will be our next meeting plače . . . It’s where I
am as I bring this article to a close today .. . And until next Week
when you’ll read more about my tour —- So-long, and in the
meantime may the sunshine of our SSPZ shine upon you . . .

Biggest Outdoor Affair of the SSPZ in Years

By Michael Vrhovnik

Come — join again with me on my tour of the SSPZ —
Leaving the Challenger Juniors at Willow Beach on the after-
noon of June 5th, vvhere and \vhen they were having another of
their celebrated outings, we will now take you to Sygan, the
home of Vrtec No. 72 and Lodge No. 89 — But, before we arrive
there, let us first see what took plače in the meantime . . . Now,
this may not seem interesting to most of you, but j ust for the
sake of variety and because I feel that it is in order, let s see
just \vhat did happen between the time I left Willow Beach and
when I pulled in at the home of brother Leo Mur, secretary of
Lodge No. 89 and the administrator of the Vrtec at Sygan, in the
little town of Presto.

In order to cover a lot of ground in this second installment
of my “Juvenile Month” tour, I’m forced to write what I call a
“skip and jump” column. . . There will be plenty of skipping and
certainly quite a bit of jumping, so if I fail to mention your name
or some incident you were connected with during the course of
my visit in your community, don’t think it was done intentionally,
but rather blame it on the “heat” and the amber fluid which
first dazzled and then dimmed the eyes and numbed the “cogs”
of memory.

Saturday afternoon with the hands of an ancient “ticker-
tocker” fast approaching 4 o’ciock . . . There, in the “sitting-
room” of “Ye Old Mansiori,” I sat, hurriedly, jotting down a few
notes on the day’s events — My shirt was off, for it was hotter
than the devil, himself, that afternoon. . . I hadn’t quite finished
\vriting \vhen the “toot” of a horn and the hum of a motor broke
the silence. . . Then someone \vas heard to address “Uncle” Char-
ley Koman — The sourfd of a bevy of mixed voices and laughter
follovved almost immediately, and before I had time to get up
out of my chair I was surrounded by “Uncle” Charlie, Joe Zor¬
man, Eddie Deitz, Stan Žagar, Eddie Centa, Bill Perusek, Celesta
Deitz and her sister, and several others whose names I can’t re-
call at this writing . . . They were ali in a hilarious mood and
full of wide-awake devilment . . . And there I stood, caught with
my shirt off and exposed, perhaps, more than I’ve ever been, to
the joking “stabs” of a fun-hunting group of Spartans and
Utopians who, in company with fifteen or sixteen others came
ali the way from Cleveland to attend the Challengers’ 3rd.An-
niversary Rose Dance . . . They stayed only a few minutes before
moving on to Canonsburg’s “downtown” and other points ol’
more or less importance —^ Stopping an hour at Drenik’s Colony
Grili where a bite of something to eat and a swallow or two of
a combination of fluids was had to wet and appease their parch-
ed “whistles” and warm and fill their thundering stomachs . . .
When they \vere gone, I made ready for my visit to Sygan an
hour hence ... I saw and heard no more of them until late that
evening upon my return.

Scheduled to appear at Sygan at 6:00 o’clock, I rushed things
so that I was nearly half way there before I discovered that the
movie films had been left behind. .. Turning around, the distance
\vas soon re-negotiated, but not without having a second “tardy”
mark credited to my report, making it twice in a row on con-
secutive days . . . If this were going to school, the sting of a pad-
dle would warm the seat of my pants 'ere the evening sun sank
behind the Western hills . . . But thanks to my lucky stars and
advanced years, my “flailing” adventures (wherein I was the
unhappy recipient) are, I hope, permanently ended . . . But this
is roaming off the subject, again . . .

At Presto, we stopped at the home of brother Leo Mur
where we found him and his family anxiously and patiently
watching for my arrival, and wondering between questionable
doubts whether I would keep my promise to stop there first or
go right on to Sygan . . . Being distantly related to the elephant,

promises to be not only a pic¬

ation, it will be remembered,
was the talk of the town, but
this coming affair, from ali in-
dications, will be larger, full

Gate of entertainment and by ali
means it will be more novel.

The program that has been ar-

FLASH - FLASH

A very successful picnic of Lodge No.
19, SSPZ, held last Sunday in East Side
Forest Preserve was terminated about
6:30 in the afternoon by rain and thun-
derstorm. More than 200 people stili re-
mained on the premises, when a high
wind and the first drops of rain scat-
tered the people back to their cars and
and sent them scurrying tovvards home.
Later on the picnic terminated in a so¬
cial held at Starc’s.

Several balina contests were sched¬
uled, Trail Blazer girls losing to the
ladies of No. 19 by the tune of 10 to 24,
while Trail Blazers scored a last minute
8 points to noše out Lodge No. 100 boys
24 to 23. Lodge No. 100 led at one time
by the score of 16 to 0, but TB’s kept
on trying and succeeded to bring the
score 23 to 16 in favor of their oppon-
ents. Then the unexpected 8 point
splurge and an unexpected vietory. V.
Tome, Ernest Vrhovnik, Tony Ule and
M. G. Kuhel rolled for TB’s, and P.
Vrhovnik, J. Puzel, Ed. Arko and Andy
Zadnik for No. 100. Dolly Tisol, Zora
Knudsen, Pauline Kuhel and Valerie
Putz of Trail Blazers played against Mrs.
Rus, Mrs. Puzel, Mrs. Orazem and Mrs.
Vrhovnik, representing No. 19 (the last
three really belong to No. 100). The
aforementioned storm spoiled the finals.

In a practice ballgame Trail Blazers
nosed out Victorians 10 to 9, climaxing a
7th inning rally with 5 runs with two
out. Victorians scored the first run in
the first inning when J. Pouhe singled,
Joe Potsch was safe on a boot by Okle-
shen, and walks to Kalan and Vidmar,
foreing in Pouhe. Trail Blazers came
back with 4 runs in the same stanza.
Ernest Vrhovnik doubled over short-
stop’s head, L. Tome walked, so did
Carlig. Bill Brolick brought ali three
in with a double over left fielder’s
head and scored himself on another
bingle by Joe Jacksi, the pitcher. Car-
lig made the score 5 to 1 against Vic’s
by poling a long homerun in the third.
Victorians went to town in the fourth
inning, scoring 6 runs on 5 hits. J. Pouhe
singled, J. Potsch doubled to left. send-
ing Pouhe to third. Venisnik brought
both of them across the home plate by

After your hunger and thirst have

dancers can enjoy the meiodious tunes
of Johnny Pecon’s orchestra and |
dance until the sun starts creeping

So don’t forget, folks, make that
date with the Utopians for a big day
of fun, for just a small sum of twenty
five cents.

The Comets Column

AMBRIDGE, Pa. — The June meet¬
ing of the Comets was very well attend-
ed. At this meeting Michael Vrhovnik
was present and took pictures of ah the
Comet members present. He also took
pictures of our officers and was ready
to take pictures of the Comets’ mushball
team when something went wrong with
the film. Brother Vrhovnik gave a
speech and later showed us • movies
which were enjoyed by ali.

Ambitions of the 'Comets are:

R. R.—Would like to be a radio an-
nouncer. '

J. S.—Would like to be a great boxer.

P. T. and P. S.—Would like to be
great musicians.

B. V. and P. R-—Would like to be
nurses.

P. S.—Would like to be an aetor.

Comets’ Sports

The Comets’ mushball team had a
good team winning the first half of the
Ambridge City Jr. League. The Comets
hope to buy uniforms after the dance
that was held on June 19. We wish the
mushball team good lučk for the sec¬
ond half.

For further developments watch for
this column.

Till again,

Frank Tekstar (Age: 9)

words fail to come to express
our sincere appreciation. However, to
the Spartans and Utopians of Cleve¬
land we Challengers send this mes-
sage:

Our personal feelings were never
more meant,

We Challengers would like to send
you both power,

Povver so almighty, that nothing on
universe can overthrow;

Power to smile and laugh awhile,

As journeying thru fraternal life
you go.

These, however, are only fanciful
wishes.

We would much rather send you

Our whole-hearted friendship in-

stead.

We’ll clasp you by the hand when-
ever we meet,

Meaning a great deal more to us
j than any fancy words that can be
said.

Your hearts proved loyal;

Your spirits proved true;

Just keep them both alive,

And we’ll warrant the best shall

come back to you.

Sygan, Pa. — Well, here I am again
vvith more news, concerning Sygan’s
Vrtec.

We have a change to make con-
cerning the time of our meetings. In-
stead of having our meetings every
3rd Wednesday of every month at 7,
it has been changed to every 3rd Wed
of the month to 8:00.

Now that the beautiful month of
May is over and our worries of school
are over, we will have to work just
as hard for our Vrtec, as vve did in
school, to make our Vrtec a big suc¬
cess and try to enjoy working for
our Vrtec as we enjoyed doing our
school work. If we work hard for our
Vrtec, I am sure we can have good
times such as picnics, going on hikes

some of the seed will  be lost.

This smaller number of the younger people in the lodges €
tend some day to an amalgamation of the various Yugoslavfnt'
ernal organizations. This will strengthen the movement, when
does come, to exist just as easily as the Moo.se, Elks and Ma:
cabees of today.

Another bright light on the horizon is the organization 1
strong junior lodges. These will  tend to bring in the coming g*
eration. Perhaps it should have been done before vvith us s
is would make our ESL stronger today. But it will dol
work even if it is late in starting.

In conclusion I need not stress too much the importance
