SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
RUŠILKA NAPADENA
Ameriška rušilka Kearney, na patrolni službi na Atlantiku, je bila v jutru 17. oktobra torpedirana po neki podmornici. Napad je bil izvršen približno 350 ■milj južno in zapadno od Islandije. Rušilka je bila poškodovana, vendar je odplula z lastno močjo proti pristanišču. Rušilka Kearney je označena kot 1630-tonska moderna vojna ladja, ki je bila dograjena leta 1940. Njen poveljnik je kapitan A. L. Daniš. Ko je rušilka do-'spela v luko, najbrž na Islandiji, je bilo iz Washingtona sporočeno, da je bil napad nedvomno izvršen po nemški podmornici, da je bilo 10 članov posadke ranjenih, 11 pa se jih pogreša. Med pogrešanimi je tudi Louis Dobnikar iz Clevelanda, ki je Slovenec. Med kongresniki v Washingtonu se bolj 'in bolj utrjuje mnenje, da se Amerika ne bo mogla izogniti vojne, če bi še tako rada.
DOHODKI IN IZDATKI
Po neki statistiki bodo dohodki prebivalstva.Zedinjenih držav v letu 1941 znašali okrog 90 tisoč milijonov dolarjev. Za leto 1942 se pričakuje skupnih dohodkov 100 tisoč milijonov dolarjev. Dosedaj se porablja o-krog 15% narodnih dohodkov Ea narodno obrambo in prihodnje poletje bodo ti izdatki dosegli okrog 27*^; vseh dohodkov. Nekateri eksperti sodijo, da <predno bo sedanja vojna uspešno zaključena, bo treba porabiti '50% narodnih dohodkov za obrambne svrhe.
LETEČE TRDNJAVE
Produkcija velikih bombnikov v Zedinjenih državah hitro narašča. Poroča se, da bodo ameriške tovarne še pred koncem tega leta izdelale po 100 velikih bombnikov na mesec. Prihodnjo pomlad jih baje upajo izdelati do 500 na mesec. To seveda poleg tisočev drugih vrst vomih letal.
ZA POMOČ RUSIJI
Konvencija Ameriške delavske federacije, ki je bila pretekli teden zaključena v Seattlu, Wash., se je izjavila za vso mogočo ameriško materialno po-'moč Rusiji.
ALKOHOL ZA POGON i
  (i
Že več let se pojavljajo v j javnosti zahteve, da bi tudi v Ameriki začeli rabiti industrij-1 ski alkohol kot primes gaso-| linu za pogon avtomobilov in' drugih motorjev. S tem, da bi se1 prihranilo na potrošnji gasoli-' na, obenem pa bi se pomagalo J farmer jem, ki bi mogli prodati gotove pridelke in odpadke za izdelavo industrijskega alkohola. <
Omenjeno zadevo je od vseh strani preštudiral posebni odbor za motorno pogonsko silo in je nedavno izdal svoje poročilo in katerega zaključki niso niti malo naklonjeni alkoholu za porabo v prej omenjeno svrKo. Najbolj značilni zaključki so sledeči :
O porabi alkohola za pogonsko silo motorjev se je razpravljalo že zadnjih 30 let, toda za praktično porabo ne prihaja isti dandanes nič bolj v poštev kot pred tremi desetletji.
Izdelava alkohola iz farmskih pridelkov v sedanjih in prospek-tivnih bodočih razmerah bi stala pet ali šestkrat toliko kot stanejo enake količine gasolina.
Ako bi se dodalo gasolinu 10 odstotkov alkohola, bi se zvišala nakupna cena pogonske sile motorjev za 690 milijonov dolarjev na leto. Taki dodatni izdatki pa z narodno gospodarskega stališča ne bi bili upra-vičljivi. Evropski narodi so poskušali z mešanicami gasolina in alkohola in so pronašli, da z ekonomskega stališča, jniso priporočljive. To se je izkazalo celo v deželah, kjer je treba ves gasolin importirati iz inozemstva.
Gasolin^ s primesjo 10 odstotkov alkohola bi stal tri cente več pri galoni kot stane čisti gasolin. Farmerji, ki rabijo mnogo strojev na gasolinsko pogonsko silo, bi izdali dodat no mnogo več za nakup gaso-linske mešanice kot bi izkupili za pridelke za izdelavo alkohola. Na splošno vzeto bi bili na ta način tudi farmerji na izgubi.
Z ozirom na varčevanje gasolina, ki se pridobiva iz surovega olja, poudarja omenjeni odbor, da so znane oljne rezerve v Zedinjenih državah danes mnogo večje kot so bile kdaj prej. Po novih metodah pridobivanja in čiščenja se pridobi iz surovega olja več gasolina kot kdaj prej. In nove oljne zaloge v zemlji se skoro dnevno odkrivajo.
Poleg tega so izumljene metode za izdelovanje umetnega gasolina iz premoga, in to na cenejši način kot je proizvajanje alkohola. Ako bi kdaj zahtevala potreba, da se začne pridobivati gasolin iz premoga, so v tako svrho na razpolago premogovni skladi, ki bi zadostovali za stoletja.
Iz navedenih podatkov je razvidno, da bo alkohol ostal še za dogleden čas tam, kamor spada, ameriške motorje pa bodo še v bodoče napajali s čistim in nepokvarjenim gasolinom.
POGODBA Z ARGENTINO
Med Zedinjenimi državami in južnoameriško republiko Argentino je bila pretekli teden podpisana trgovinska pogodba, kateri pripisujejo v Washingtonu tudi velik političen, pomen. Argentina je poleg Brazilije naj važnejša republika v Južni A-meriki in je bila do zadnjega časa najmanj voljna sodelovati z ostalimi ameriškimi republikami v obrambnih zadevah a-meriškega kontinenta. V Argentini so nemški naciji razvijali veliko aktivnost in od tam zastrupljali druge ameriške republike. Zadrije čase pa so se odnošaji med Argentino in Nemčijo znatno ohladili, kar je najbrž tudi nekoliko pripomoglo, da je Argentina sklenila z Zedinjenimi državami trgovinsko pogodbo, prvo v 88 letih, katera bo gospodarsko ugodna na obe strani. Najboljši način zbližanja z južnimi republikami je po gospodarskih pbtih, vse drugo pa sledi samo od sebe.

GLAD PICT EVROPI
Bližajoča se zima bo v Evropi dvakrat huda. Pomanjkanju gorke obleke, obuvala in kuriva se bo pridružil še glad. Znano je, da v hladnem vremenu zahteva telesni sistem več in redil-nejše hrane kot poleti, ker hrana je kurivo telesa. Večina evropskega prebivalstva pa se bo morala preko zime zadovoljiti z manjšimi količinami hrane kot jih je dobivala poleti. Podeželsko prebivalstvo si je moglo tekom leta sproti nekoliko pomagati z rastočimi in dozorevajočimi pridelki, po zimi pa bo to odpadlo. Pospravljene pridelke rekvizirajo oblasti in pustijjo pridelovalcem živil le za najnujnejšo potreba. Za mnoge kraje pa niti to ne velja, ker zavojevalci enostavno poberejo vse, kar ima kakšno živilsko vrednost, prebivalstvo pa lahko od gladu pogine.
Na podlagi uradnih statistik in po poročilih iz kolikor toliko zanesljivih virov je pomanjkanje hrane že sedaj zelo občutno ■v nekaterih pokrajinah, ki so jih okupirale sile osišča, na primer v Grčiji, v delih Jugoslavije, na Norveškem in v delu Rusije, }d so ga zavojevali Nemci. Pomanjkanje pa preti tudi Madžarski, Italiji, Franciji, Belgiji, Poljski, Rumuniji, Bolgariji in celo Švedski.
Nemčija je kolikor toliko založena z živili, ker si pomaga z naropanimi zalogami. Anglija je bolje preskrbljena z živili kot je bila pred letom dni, zakar gre kredit njeni mornarici, ki drži odprta morska pota, poleg tega pa seveda Ameriki, ki pošilja Angliji velike količine živeža.
V Italiji se od časa do časa skrčijo odmerki živeža, ki so dovoljeni prebivalstvu. Celo v Bolgariji, ki je odločno poljedelska dežela, je baje živilska situacija akutna. Na Norveškem se pojavlja pomanjkanje celo v ribiških krajih, kjer tvorijo ribe znaten del ljudske prehrane; meso pa je mogoče dobiti le po enkrat na mesec.
' Pridelek žita na evropskem kontinentu je za tekoče leto označan kot 15% pod normalo. Pridelek krompirja je trpel zaradi preobilice dežja. Število goved in prašičev je močno padlo, skoro gotovo zaradi pomanjkanja krme. Mnogo žita, krompirja in celo vina porablja Nemčija za izdelavo alkohola, ki se rabi za primes gasolinu. Razume se, da je večino teh surovin odvzela prebivalstvu v zasedenih kra-jih.
Glad torej že resno ograža milijone evropskega prebivalstva in še hujše pomanjkanje se obeta na zimo. K temu se bo pridružil še mraz. Čitali smo, da so Nemci pobrali prebivalstvu v zavojevanih krajih celo gorke odeje in kožuhe. V krajih, kjer je prebivalstvo odvisno za kurivo od premoga, bo tudi tega primanjkovalo. Stradanje, prenehanje in šikane najkrutnejših vrst, to je prinesel Hitlerjev “novi red” nesrečni Evropi.
Da se stradanje in prezebanje ne bosta izognila tudi naše rodne Slovenije, je umljivo samo ob sebi. Pokrajina je bila že prej revna in ni niti v normalnih časih pridelovala dovolj živeža za svoje prebivalstvo. Stotine in stotine vagonov koruze iz južnih krajev Jugoslavije je bilo treba vsako zimp uvoziti v Slovenijo. Skromne zaloge živeža, ki jih je Slovenija v tem letu pridelala, so pa še oplenili njeni zavoje-(Dalje na 6. strani)
TERORIZEM IN NEMIRI V JUGOSLAVIJI
Iz Carigrada poročajo, da i Nemci s pomočjo svojih zaupni- j kov tiskajo v Beogradu letake in t razglase proti vladi generala | Simoviča, ki jih lepijo na zidove ] in na vozove cestne železnice, i Težnja in cilj te nemške propa-! ] gande je, da zvrne s sebe odgo-j i vornost Nemčije za neizzvani ( napad na Jugoslavijo in za div-jaško bombardiranje Beograda, j

Vsi poskusi sestaviti Nekako ] “srbsko vojsko” so propadli, če- , prav beograjsko glasilo zased- ] benih oblasti “Novo Vreme” , vsak dan poziva častnike, naj se ] prijavijo oblastim. Vse ljudstvo vidi v takem delovanju izdajal-stvo in se oblastim ne prijavlja. ,
Pretresljivi so podatki o sprejemu, ki ga je beograjsko prebivalstvo priredilo a n gleškim ujetnikom, ki so jih Nemci zajeli v Grčiji in na Kreti in potem skozi Beograd peljali v Nemčijo. Ljudstvo je kljub vsem grožnjam angleškim ujetnikom naskrivaj dajalo kruha, potic, mesa, sadja in oblek. V Topčiderju je nemški vojak ustrelil nekega Beograjčana, , ker ga je zalotil, ko je Angležu dal cigareto. Ob prihodu angleški ujetnikov je ves narod glasno pozdravljal angleško vojsko in Anglijo.
Razmerje med Italijani in Nemci v zasedenem jugoslovanskem ozemlju je zelo napete. Italijanski vojaki javno pripovedujejo, da so proti vojni. Obračuni med italijanskimi in nemškimi častniki zaradi tega so na dnevnem redu. Cesto nemška vojska strelja na poedine italijanske vojake, če se nočejo pokoriti.
Reka Neretva je bila pred tedni tako polna mrličev, da pri Mostarju ni bilo mogoče S čolni voziti po njej.
V Splitu so množice beguncev iz Sarajeva, Zagreba in Beograda, največ Srbi in Židje. Mnogo je tudi Hrvatov, somišljenikov HSS. Italijanske oblasti, ki so sprva bile prizanesljive, so zdaj krute in pripoveduje se v, Dalmaciji o ljudeh, ki* ste jih sinoči'še srečali, a jutri jih zemlja požre. Cene živilom strašno rastejo. Dvanajst jajc stane 20 lir, liter olja 41 lir, kilogram hrušk 6 lir. V Dalmaciji in Istri dobi oseba 60 gramov sladkorja na mesec, sto gramov olja na mesec in sto gramov kruha na dan.
“Stefani” poroča iz Zagreba, da je Pavelič ukazal popis premoženja vseh državnih, samoupravnih in občinskih uradnikov, ki so bili postavljeni od decembra 1918 do aprila letos. Zakaj, ni težko vuganiti.

Zaradi čestih nemirov v Zagrebu in zaradi napadov “hrvat-ske seljačke zaštite” na Paveli-ceve ustaše in nemške vojake je načelnik policije Artukovič izdal ukaz, da se morajo vsi javni lokali zapreti ob devetih zvečer. Po tej uri je Zagreb mrtvo mesto.

VRTNA DELA SEZONE
Semena enoletnih cvetlic se navadno sejejo spomladi, toda Vrtnarski eksperti priporočajo, da se nekatere teh' cvetlic posejejo v jeseni. Semenje v zemlji dobro prezimi in spomladi zgodaj vzkali.

NEMŠKA ŠPIJ0NA2A
Nemška špijonaša je razpredena po vsem svetu. V evropskih deželah, z izjemo Anglije in Rusije, je bilo na splošno ‘ zelo uspešna in je znatno pomagala k uspehom nemških armad. Razume se, da je nemška špijon-ska in petokolonska služba na široko razpredena tudi v Zedinjenih državah, kjer se neprimerno bolj svobodno giblje, kot se je v evropskih deželah. Tu imamo še široko osebno svobodo, ki se je za svoje temne posle poslužujejo tudi špijoni. Vsekakor tudi tukaj ne gre vse gladko.
Federal Bureau of Information, okrajšano FBI, vztrajno in uspešno zasleduje delovanje a-gentov inozemstva. V listih smo nedavno čitali, da je bilo aretiranih 33 nemških agentov, in na distriktnem sodišču v Brook-lynu, N. Y., je 16 obtožencev priznalo svojo krivdo pred obravnavo, drugi pa so krivdo tajili, ter je morala o njihovi krivdi ali nekrivdi odločati porota. Glavna priča proti tej skupini je bil William G. Sebold, ki je bil od nacijskih oblasti odločen za špijona v korist Nemčije, pa je svojo pozicijo izrabil za razkrinkanje nemške špijona-že.
Omenjeni William G. Sebold je bil pred 42 leti rojen v Porurju v Nemčiji ter je tekom zadnje svetovne vojne služil v nemški armadi pri strojnicah. Toda Sebold je bil eden tistjh redkih Nemcev, ki je sovražil nemški militarizem, ter se je po končani vojni podal na morje kot pomorščak. V Galvestonu, Texas, je pobegnil z nemške trgovske ladje, ker se ni hotel vrniti v Nemqijo, ter se je potem nekaj časa potikal po Južni Ameriki. Okrog leta 1920 se je pojavil v Californiji, kjer je dobil zaposlenje v letalski tovarni v San Diegu. Leta 1936 je postal ameriški državljan in je svojo prisego ameriški zastavi tudi resno vzel. Tri leta pozneje se je podal v svoj rojstni kraj v Nemčijo, da se ozdravi neke želodčne bolezni ter da obišče svojo mater, sestro in dva brata.
Tam so ga kmalu našli agenti nemške tajne policije, znane pod imenom Gestapo, ter so ga začeli nagovarjati, da bi stopil v nemško špijpnsko službo v Ameriki. Možu se to ni dopadlo, toda, ko mu je bilo indirektno povedano, da drugače ne bo več videl Amerike in da tudi za njegove sorodnike ne bo dobro, če ne pristane v ponudbo, se je navidezno podal. Dobil je vse potrebne instrukcije v telegrafiji, radiju in reševanju ( šifriranih poročil.
V januarju leta 1940 se je povrnil v Ameriko pod imenoni William Sawyer, založen s potrebnimi instrukcijami za nemškega špijona in z denarjem. Na roko je dobil tisoč dolarjev in pozneje še- nadaljnih $12,825 V Centerportu, N. Y., si je zgradil radijsko oddajno postajo, po tom katere je bil v zvezi z radijsko postajo v Hamburgu, Nemčija. Vsega skupaj je prejel iz Nemčije 459 raznih poročil in naročil, ki so se v glavnem nanašala na navodila tukajšnjim nemških špijonom in pa na poizvedovanja o tukajšnjih obrambnih delih. Gestapo je želela dobivati informacije, koliko vojnih letal in letalskih motorjev se tukaj izdela, koliko se jih pošlje v Anglijo, kakšen vojni material se pošilja Angliji, kam (Dalje na 2. strani)
VSAK PO SVOJE
Velika katastrofa, ki je zadela naš narod v starem kraju, nas je popolnoma zmedla. Nekateri smo vsled silnega udarca tako omamljeni, da o nesreči niti razpravljati ne moremo. Nekateri stiskamo pesti ter preklinjamo nacizem in fašizem. Nekateri sev javnosti prepirajo glede bodočih mej Slovenije, oblik vlade itd. Vsi skupaj pa si samo usta hladimo ali papir mažemo. Skoro bi rekli, da smo podobni jati kokoši, v katerih ' domovinskem kuropetniku je zagospodovala lisica. Tiste, ki jih kremplji lisice niso dosegli, tavajo brezumno okoli ali pa razburjeno kokodajsajo ter se niti malo ne zavedajo, da je vse tisto kokodajqanje brez pomena.
*
Sicer pa nam ni zameriti, če smo zmedeni, če tekamo okoli kot pute brez glav ali če koko-dajsamo kot splašena perjad. Strahovita drama, ki se odigrava na svetovni pozornici in ki je zajela tudi mikroskopično majhen otoček naše rodne zemlje, je tako velika, da je pogled naših duš ne more obseči. Edina zvezda, ki nam žari iz meglene negotovosti, je upanje, da Rusija in Anglija vzdržita in da jima naša Amerika pravočasno pošlje dovolj pomoči za poraz nacij-sko-fašistične pošasti.
*
Nekateri ljudje kritizirajo vse, od vlade do vremena. Če bi bilo po njihovem, bi moralo biti
pri vremenu ne morejo ničesar opraviti.
Nemške okupacijske oblasti na Holandskem so zapretile tamkajšnjim časopisom z resnimi posledicami, če ne prenehajo z indirektnim omalovaževanjem Hitlerja. Kadar koli ti časopisi na svojih prvih straneh poročajo o nemških zmagah ali o sestankih Hitlerja z Mussolinijem ali Horthyem, priobčajo namreč na istih straneh tudi slike velikih psov. In naciji se zavedajo fjomena pasje tovarišije. ' *
'Ameriški vojaški eksperti računajo, da je treba ostriči volno z 26 ovac za pošteno enoletno obleko vsakega posameznega vojaka. Ameriške ovce so patrio-tične in ne protestirajo, ko jim ovčarji strižejo odvečno volno, ker vedo, da bodo producirale novo. Tako ne bi smeli protestirati mi, če nam davčne škarje odstrižejo nekoliko dolarske volne. Saj bomo producirali novo. In, kjer nič ni, tudi najostrejše škarje ničesar ne odstrižejo.
*
Cena rakije se je dvignila zaradi novih federalnih davkov. Ti davki gredo za narodno obrambo. Iz tega logično sledi, da čim več rakije popijemo, tem bolj smo patriotični. Ali ne?

Zvezni poljedelski department je naročil ameriškim far-merjem, naj se dogovorijo s svojimi putami, da bodo v letu 1942 producirale 50 tisoč milijonov jajc. To da je potrebno z ozirom na vojne zahteve. In ni dvoma, da bo ta jajčja kvota dosežena, kajti farmerji zn&jo govoriti s svojimi kokošmi. Vsaka kurja štrajkerica se brez posebnih ceremonij izpremeni v kurji ajmoht.

^arodni bratski kongres
Konvencija Narodnega bratskega kongresa v Ameriki se je letošnje leto vršila v San Franciscu, California. Seje posameznih sekcij te konvencije so se pričele že v nedeljo 21. in ponedeljek 22. septembra v St. Francis hotelu, a glavna seja konvencije se je pričela v torek 23. septembra, in konvencija se je zaključila
V četrtek 25. septembra.
Kaj je prav za prav Narodni bralski kongres? Morebiti mar- j sikateremu članu ali članici naše organizacije ni poznana la skupina. Zato hočem nekoliko opisati organizacijo, ki vrši potrebno in zaščitno delo za vse bratske organizacije v Združenih državah in Canadi.	/
National Fraternal Congress ali Narodni bratski kongres sestoji danes iz 86 bratskih organizacij v Ameriki in'Canadi. Največ ja organizacija, ki je včlanjena v kongresu, šteje 131,352 elanov, a najmanjša organizacija šteje 2,453 članov. Prva plava letno članarino $750.00, a druga plača le $06.00. Celoletna cla- \ narina vseh včlanjenih organizacij je znašala $18,159.00. Stroški na leto znaša jo okoli $1?,000.00. Ameriška bralska zveza plača $105.00 letne članarine. Vsaka organizacija ima pravico poslati na letno konvencijo do sedem glavnih odbornikov, ki so pra- ■ vomočni delegat je. Poleg tega je dovoljeno organizacijam, da pošljejo še delegate, od enega do deset delegatov z ozirom na pro-1 porčno število članstva v posamezni organizaciji. Naši organi- j zaeiji je dovoljen le en delegat, ako bi ga hoteli poslali. Toda po pravilih ABZ more gla^pi odbor poslati le enega glavnega odbornika na konvencijo Narodnega bratskega kongresa.
V preteklem fiskalnem letu, ki se je zaključilo koncem meseca avgusta, je imel glavni odbor tega kongresa dosti dela s pregledovanjem predloženih postav v 13 državah ameriških. Izmed 363 predloženih postav je odbor pronašel, da jili je bilo 133, ki , so se likale in nanašale na poslovanje bralskih podpornih organizacij. Osnutke vseh teh predloženih postav potem odbor Narodnega bratskega kongresa pošilja vsem včlanjenim organizacijam, da vedo, kaj se godi v posameznih državnih postavodajah.
V preteklem letu je bilo sprejetih 45 postav, ki se nanašajo na poslovanje podpornih organizacij.
Nate'ja in dolžnost kongresa je, da zasleduje predložene postave ter v vsakem slučaju, kjer bi sc godila krivica s sprejetjem nove postave tej ali oni bratski organizaciji, da sprejem take postave prepreči.	*
Poleg tega ima-kongres i^edne slike z državnimi zavaroval-ninskimi komisarji in z zvezo aktuarjev, da se prepreči neugodne postave za bratske organizacije, katere hočejo nekatere države obdavčiti.
Narodni bratski kongres je razdeljen na posamezne odseke, katerih dela so različna. Vsi ti odseki podajo svoja poročila konvenciji, katera so priobčena v zapisniku konvenčnega zborovanja.
Osemindvajseto letno konvencijo Narodnega bratskega kongresa je otvorH predsednik Alex O. lienz ob pol deseti uri zjutraj 28. septembra. Konvencijo so pozdravili C. L. Of son, go-verntr države Calif orni je, A. J. Rossi, župan mesta San Francisco, H. li. Hass, pomožni zavarovalninski komisar države California, S. C. Holslon, predsednik Državnega bralskega kongresa v Calif orni ji, in par drugih zastopnikov. Na pozdrave jim je odgovoril podpredsednik Narodnega bratskega kongresa, T. R. fleanei).
Nato so sledila poročila posameznih uradnikov in volitev potrebnih konvenčnih odsekov. Zavarovalninski komisar države Washington je imel predavanje o bratskem zavarovanju in demokraciji.
Pri popoldanskem zasedanju konvencije so sledila poročila kongresnih odborov, nakar je sledilo dvoje predavanj o bralskem udejstvovanju podpornih organizacij z ozirom na sedanjo narodno obrambo, ild.
Zvečer se je vršil običajen banket z govorniško listo in plesom.
V sredo 24. septembra so sledila poročila stalnih kongresnih odborov in predavr.ujkako politika preti zdravniški vedi, ki je bilo zelo obširno in nadvse poučno. Nato so sledile volitve glavnega odbora. Za predsednika je bil izvoljen T. R. Heaney, glavni tajnik bratske organizacije Catholic Order of Forester, Chicago, Illinois. Za pod predsednika je bil izvoljen glavni predsednik organizacije Equitable Reserve Association, Neenah. Wise. Za taj-nika-blagajnika in poslovodjo pa Foster F. Farrell, ki že več let vodi te posle. Med drugimi je prišel ludi r odbor John Willo, ki je predsednik Državnega bratskega kongresa v državi Ohio ter član organizacije National Slovak Society of IJSA, ki ima glavni slan v Pittsburghu, Pa.

Med prvimi, ki so v tej vojni dali življenje za Ameriko in de-I mckracijo, kakršno mi poznamo i in cenimo, je tudi sin Slovenije, Louis Dobnikar, katerega mati | in tri omožene sestre živijo v Clevelandu, Ohio. Ko je nem-I ška podmornica pretekli teden torpedirala ameriško rušilko Kearny, 350 milj jugozapadno od Islandije na Atlantiku, je bilo 10 članov posadke ameriške vojne ladje poškodovanih, 11 * pa se jih pogreša. Sodi se, da te je sunek vrgel v morje in ni upanja, da bi bil kateri ostal pri življenju. Med pogrešanimi je tudi gori omenjeni Louis Dobnikar, star 40 let, ki je bil rojen v Sloveniji, pa je mlad prišel s starši v Ameriko. Pri mornarici je služil nad 18 let. Dva njegova brata Frank in John: tudi služita v ameriški morna-; rici, eden 10, drugi pa 11 let. | Mati Jennie Dobnikar, stara 691 let, ki je že 15 let vdova, živi naj 15101 Hale Avenue v Cleve-j landu, Ohio. Doma je iz Ušelka pri Šenčurju nad Kranjem. Vsi; trije njeni sinovi, v službi ameriške vojne mornarice, so ji redno pošiljali denar za eksistenco. Louis, ki je zdaj skoro gotovo žrtev morja, je zadnjič obiskal svojo mater v preteklem juniju, ko je bil službeno nastanjen v Virginiji.

VSAK PO SVOJE
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
Čili o strahotnih bojih na ruski fronti, kjer krvavi milijone ljudi, o pomanjkanju v srednji Evropi, o eksekucijah na Češkem in na Balkanu, pridejo reklame za cigare in cigarete, za lasne in lične pomade, za pivo, kavo, ga-solin in pepsikolo.

V vseh časih so se pojavljali reformatorji vseh barv, ki so bili prepričani, da je mogoče deželo in svet odrešiti le po njihovem specielnem receptu. In današnji časi ne predstavljajo : v tem oziru nikake izjeme. Vse-: mu svetu preti plamen diktatu-i re, toda iz poročil v listih po-I vzamemo, da sV) ameriški siihači I spet z vsemi silami na delu za | zopetno vpeljavo prohibicije, ker so prepričani, da bo prohi-

bicija rešila vse pereče svetovne probleme. To kljub žalostnemu rekordu, ki ga je pustila zadnja prohibicija.

Tiskarski škrat je mistično bitje, ki ga iskreno sovražijo vsi uredniki in pisatelji. Tega bitja še ni nihče videl, zato ni točno ugotovljeno, če nosi kozjo brado in lisičji rep ali če hodi v j fraku in cilindru. Domneva se, da gnezdi v tiskarnah ali v primerni bližini istih, toda njegovega ležišča še ni nihče našel.
Tudi ni dognano, če spada med l sesalce ali dvoživke. Ne ujame J se v nobeno past in tudi najhuj-J ši strup mu ne škoduje. To potr-i j uje dejstvo, da se hrani večino-jma/s svincem, ki je hudo stru-| pena stvar. V tiskarnah je dosti sVinca, debela svinčena polena i že vse naokoli, toda škrat se re zmeni za velike komade. Nje-j gov okus je tako prefinjen, cla i ajrajši zoblje posamezne črk? j i i številke in za boljšo prebavo j 5 i privošči kako piko ali vejico.
T e kadar je posebno lačen, pohrusta celo vrsto. Ko se do mile! j volje nazoblje teh svinčenih de-1 ! Hkates, se začne zabavati s tem, J jela meša poštene črke, številke j iu vrste kot mesar krvavo meštoj 7a klobase. Posledica je, da iz j j lake mešanice nastanejo čisto neprebavl jiv s klobase ali pa ne-i t miselni stvori brez repa jri gla-.J ve. In najbolj žalostno pri tem, ie. da je za vse take škratove kozlarije odgovoren urednik.
Stavce ščiti unija, urednika pa noben vrag.	j
V predzadnji izdaji se je krofa škratovska lotila nekega dopisa, pod katerim st? bila podpirana dva glavna uradnik*., ki imata polog tega še par drugih snrž. Škrat se rie zmeni za nobe-ro avtoriteto. Po /.mrcvarjenju je bil nrodukt tuk, da bi g-i rwo-; ral biti žalosten sam škrat, če bi imel kaj srca. Pa ga nima.
, Tako so ga bili 'pa žalostni vsi
tisti, ki so ga videli vsega zmaličenega, najbolj pa urednik. Kajti urednik je tisti, ki je legalno in pred vsemi instancami j odgovoren za škratove kozle. Iz-: mazati se ne more, ker njegova krivda je dokazana črno na be-; lem. In vendar se v srcu zaveda, da ni, kriv on, ampak njegova škratova ekselenca. “Ni hujšega gorja na svetu, kot ^j zadušene solze,” je svoječasno za-! pisal pesnik, ki ni bil urednik če bi bil v čevljih vašega urednika, bi bil najbrž zapisal, da j ni hujšega gorja, kot so zadušene kletvice, spočete /aradi i vragolij tiskarskega škrata. j

Izredno konvencijo za dne 26.
oktobra sklicuje bratska pod-porha organizacija Slovenska dobrodelna zveza v Clevelandu,
, Ohio. Ta konvencija se bo vršila na poziv državnega zavaro-valninskega departmenta, ki zahteva, da se ukine penzijske podpora vsem nad 70 let starim članom, ker se dotični penzijski sklad ne more vzdrževati z asesmenti, ki s0 določeni v dotično svrho. Tozadevni asesmenti znašajo mesečno 10 centov na člana, penzija pa se plačuje po •S10.00 na mesec. Slovenska do-; brodelna zveza je dobra in nad-folventna organizacija, toda v smislu državnih zahtev se mora vsak sklad sam zase vzdrževati,

napadajo zavojevalce. Nekateri oddelki teh četnikov so oboroženi celo z lahkimi topovi. Četniki se preživljajo deloma z živili, ki jih dobijo od prebivalstva, deloma z zalogami, ki jih zaplenijo okupacijskim oblastem.
V distriktu Drine v Srbiji j operira cela armada jugoslovan- j skih četnikov. Opremljeni so z j lahkimi- topništvom, z motornimi avtomobili in z motocikli. Čete “svobodne” vlade v Črni gori, ki je bila ustanovljena pred dvema mesecema, so baje osvojile mesto Valjevo.

Jesenska posetev na prosto se priporoča za semena sledečih cvetlic: mak vseh vrst, petunijej plavice (bachelor buttons), enoletni ostrožnik (1 a r k spur),j zajčki (snapdragon), calendulas, salpiglossis, cosmos, alys-surh, gypsophilia, vrtni tobak (nicotiana) in portulaca.

[ je bila delegatinja na zadn ji konvenci ji. Obiskal sem društve-! nega tajnika Louisa Lesarja in društvenega predsednika Rudy-a Troje-ta. Zvečer smo se sešli v Slovenskem narodnem domu, kjer sem spoznal tudi društvenega blaga jnika Johna Gr alte ka j in člana Klemensa, ki je bil delegat na eni izmed prejšnih konvencij. Hvala jim za vso prijaznost in naklonjenost, katero so mi izkazali.
V četrtek so poročali konvenčni odbori ter posamezne sekcije Narodnega bratskega kongresa. Poročilo bi bilo predolgo, ako bi hotel poročati v detajlih. Ko so bila oddana in sprejeta vsa poročila, je sledilo ustoličenje glavnih odbornikov. S tem je bila zaključena konvencija.
Poleg naše Ameriške bralske zveze je bila zastopana na tej i konvenciji tudi KSKJ po glavnem predsedniku Johnu Germu in glavnemu tajniku Josephu Zalarju. Organizaciji SNPJ in SSPZ ! nista mogli poslati delegatov, ker se je takrat vršila združevalna konvencija obeh organizacij v Pittsburghu. Hrvatsko bratsko zvezo so zastopali M. J. Horvath, J. P. Ribic in N. J. Nicholas.; Srbsko narodno obrano je zastopal njen glavni tajnik B. M. P e- j kich.
-Na konvencijah Narodnega bratskega kongresa se začne človek še le zavedali, kako veliko in močno je to podporno bralsko udejstvovanje v Ameriki. Človek tudi spozna nevarnosti, katere pretijo našemu bratskemu udejstvovanju, ki je v dnevni kompeticiji z ameriškimi življenjskimi zavarovalnicami, ki sof > ustanovljene na dobičkonosni podlagi. Zato je res potrebno, da so podporne organizacije včlanjene v tej skupini, da skupno nastopajo ter skupno delujejo za blagor in napredek vseh bratskih podpornih organizacij v Ameriki in Canadi.
Na poti v Calif orni jo sem se ustavil v East Heleni, Montani, kjer je naše društvo št. 43 ob tej priliki praznovalo 38-letnico svojega obstoja in društven zvezin dan, nakar sem se odpeljal v , Butte, Mont., kjer je društvo št. 105 *praznovalo 30-letnico svo-( jega obstoja v skupni proslavi z društvom št. 190 Ameriške . bratske zveze.

Defense, tt^y Bond
Q. Just what is inflation and how can it be minimized?
A. Inflation is a decrease in the buying powe\• of the dollar caused by a rising cost of living. This, in turn, is brought about by a heavy public demand, resulting from a rapid increase in the national income, for things which cannot be produced in large enough quantities. Every citizen can help minimize inflation by buying Defense Bonds and Stamps.
Q. How can I get cash for my Defense Savings Stamps if 1 should need to redeem them?
A. Go to any post office.
Note: To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan association; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C. Also Stamps now are on sale at most retail stores.	\

B. R. team, composed of Ivan Rožance, Frank Martich, Ike Kocin, Blackie Krall, and Joe Kozar, are really working hard to put Betsy Ross right on top of that AFU Boiling League.
Every Sunday—You’ll find the B/R.’s bowling again. This time more for a good time than anything else. In fact there are so many B. R.’s present at the alleys that proprietors have decided to build a' clubroom in the basement for the bowlers who congregate after the bowling session.
October 25th (Sat.)—With a spirit of fraternalism leading them on, at least three carloads of B. R.’s fire heading for Girard, Oh£

I T lere was a day when just your scribe carried around a little red book to keep tab of certain dates and affairs but now all the Flagmakers are carrying similar little red books. You’ll be seeing the B. R.’s at the following events in the next few we^ks:	j

Betsy Ross Writes to Soldier Novak
October 23, 1941 Pvt. Joseph J. Novak Company “H” 148th Infantry 37th Division
Camp Shelby, Miss.
Dear J. J.,
Thanks loads for your letter. The Gang sure was glad to hear from you. You’re really getting to see quite a bit of the U.S.A., aren’t you ? After your maneuvers in the South, I’ll bet you were glad to get back to camp. Even though life in camp isn’t as comfortable as it is up here, still I imagine it’s a lot easier on you fellows than it is when you are out on maneuvers.
Gosh, Red River Valley in Texas, Bayous in Louisiana — it all sounds so interesting. Those are places I’ve read about but unless I marry a millionaire, I’ll probably never see. At times I wish I were a boy so that 'Uncle Sam would give me a chance to see some of those places where the Soldiers are being sent to. Now wait a while— I can just hear you say: “We’re not just getting a free sightseeing Tour. We’re working darn hard for it.” But I know that and believe me I certainly have to give three cheers for the boys who are doing their best, whether they like it or not.
I suppose you’ve probably heard about Sailor Debenak. He likes army life so well—that he changed his status from a Draftee to a Volunteer and now he is in North Carolina with Patsy Krall.
We’re all looking forward to when you get that 14-day furlough just as eagerly as you are. We’ll be glad to see you. It would be rather nice if all the B. R.’s got a chance to come home at the same time. Boy— The Flagmakers sure would celebrate.
I wish you could have been at our Hayride last Saturday. Boyl was it fun. It was a grand crowd—and just that kind of an affair that you remember in years to come. You know how our crowd likes to sing—especially Slovenian songs. Well we sang on the Hayride up through ■Lover’s Lane and we sang some more around the fireplace in the log cabin. It really was1 swell. And the chicken the fellows put away—why I’ll bet that all had about three helpings apiece. Honest—I just hated to go home. In fact, before we left, we resolved that in the very near future, we would have a Betsy Ross Sleigh Ride at the same place. Doesn’t that sound good ? I hope you’ll be home at that time so you can come too.
■ We sure wish you were up here to bowl with us. You know we have a Sunday afternoon league which was really set up moife for fun than actual League j Bowling. Our treasury is built up by all those people who have misses or gutter balls. Boy! do 1 help it grow! At the end of the boWling season we’re going to have a party.
The B. R. team which bowls, in the Friday nite AFU League' is certainly doing one grand job. It looks very much like j they’re going to make up for; that baseball title we lost this; summer. If Ivan Rožance keeps; on rolling 592 series and Blackie' Krall those 534 series, they’ll come pretty close to the top uny way you look at it. Darn it —Willie Quinn, our realty high 'man had to go and start working nights. Right now the B. R.’s are leading the Friday Nite
protect our Liberties from the oppression of the tyranism that is now rampant in our mother countries. In wishing her a happy Birthday, we Americans salute the Lady of Bedloe Island and express our wish that her; torch of liberty shall burn with Vever-increasing light,- forever. !
Bowlers and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for them so that 'they’ll stay there for the rest of the season.
The Nova Doba isn’t lying, Joe, the Flagmakers are really keeping busy. They sure keep j me going with one bright idea after another. But I guess the secret of the whole thing is that the gang not only gets the bright ideas but the majority 'of them have both the ability and the willingness to cooperate and carry through the idea and believe me that’s about as important a factor as any one thing can be.
1 In your letter you asked how Blackie Krall was getting along. You said he didn’t answer your ‘last letter. Well—I’ll tell you why. You see he’s pretty busy, these days. Some young men’s fancy turn to thoughts of love in the Springtime but Blackie waited until Fall and then he •really fell for someone. Her name is Frances and she’s “Awfully nice.” Ask Blackie.
Ike Kocin was just saying last night that the first thing you know the Collinwood boys5 theme song will be “Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine.” It’ll be Eugene March first of all (because he’s already spoken for) 'and then Blackie, Andy Zadeli will be following right along, J. P. Morgan, Johnny Quinn, and then Ike himself. I don’t know ^whether that’s the exact order >in which Ike named them but anyway he thinks that as soon as one of them starts it, they’ll all be middle-aisling it mighty fast.
When you get some free time, 'drop us a line. We’ll be glad to hear from you.
I have to close this letter now 'because I have an important date with a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment. My knees and elbows are all banged Up from that skating party and my bones!— Gosh. And on top of that I went and ’ forgot my “Zimske gate” the night of our Hay Ride. But who cares? I had a swell time at both affairs.
So—Goodbye “Soldier Boy”—
Fraternally yours,
BETSY ROSS

Adamic’s “Two Way Passage" Vital to Every American
(Harper & Bros. $2.50)
“Two-Way Passage,” latest and timely book by Jugoslav-American Author Louis Adamic reveals an idea that should have every person in the Nation giv-j ing it serious thought. For it contains a simple, but concrete answer on how America can end the war in Europe.
Released last wee^c, “Two-Way Passage” is proving to be all advance press notices heralded it to be. It is interesting from cover to cover. Adamic’s ideas and suggestions, supplemented with concrete examples in clear, understandable langu-are and print will open your eyes as you visualize the simplicity of a suggested project that could save the World from Hitler and the like.
The book contains the answer to what America can do to get out of the depths of its most critical period in history. It is a challenge to America and her potential spiritual, economic and industrial resourcefulness. Here, if one will take it, is a passage to freedom for mankind.
The Passage Here is the ar-
rival of immigrants to this new world; to get "away from ty-ranical oppression. Here in America, given the opportunity, the immigrants have worked to make the United States the greatest power in the world.
The Passage back—a. revolutionary idea which suggests that immigrants, the second and third generations return to their Mother Country, not to take it over, but to build it into American democratic ideals.
The Midsummer N i g h t’s Dream—parts I and II—strikes this suggestion right home. It concerns a frank conversation over the idea between John Bull and Uncle Sam.
So interesting is every chapter in the book that you will stay with it until the end. It is one of the most well-written books Adamic has ever completed, and ‘every chapter written is the result of a deep intensive study of America—a teeming Nation of Nations.*
Mr. Adamic welcomes your viewpoint on the book and his ideas. Read it, and then write your commentary to Louis Adamic, Milford, New Jersey.
“Lady of Liberty” Has Birthday
Standing majestically on a star-shaped pedestal in New York Harbor as she has for over half a century, the ’’Lady of Bedloe Island” will mark her 57th birthday come Tuesday, Oct. 28th. Throughout these 57 years—since she was received as a gift from France for America by President Grover Cleveland in 1886, she has been the symbol of Liberty, maintaining! constant vigil from her founda-: tion. To us Americans, she is the famous “Statue of Liberty.”
Her proper name is: “Liberty Enlightening The World.” She is 150-feet tall; weighs 225 tons. Her left hand holds a tablet on which is inscribed the famous date—July 4th, 1776. Her right hand is raised to heaven holding a torch that at night burns with an inner light. Facing the sea in gloiified welcoming splendor she symbolizes a new freedom and liberty—as if Uj, tell those fleeing oppression that we liberty-loving Americans regard Ellis Island as a new Plymouth Rock.
For over half a century she had her place in New York Harbor. Americans visiting in Europe never saw a more beautiful figure as they steamed into New York Harbor. Foj- the sight of “the Lady of Liberty” to them meant Home, Freedom, and Liberty”—the meaning which,
/
was more impressed on their minds during their overseas visit.
Immigrants’ eyes lighted with new hope—a new life—when they sighted the world reknown statue in New York Harbor. Our fathers and mothers must have felt their spirits rise to high pitch as they neared this new land of opportunity which would be their home and where they would make their livelihood and raise their families.
The French people who presented the statue to United States raised the money by free gifts from a free people. In response to President Cleveland’s acceptance the French Minister, among other things said: “The statue represented a pledge of fraternal union between two of the greatest republics in the world . . .”
Now in war-torn Europe, where with tyranical precision, there are tyrants whose thought is to destroy and grind into the earth this light of freedom, our Lady of Liberty shines with a new light—a light that brings our duties closer to us than ever before—the will to always maintain that spirit of freedom and liberty forever.
Her 57th birthday next Tuesday, Oct. 28th, bears with us a grimmer determination that we will—at all costs—defend and

Cleveland, O. — Our meeting of St. John’s lodge No. 71, AFU held last Sunday morning was opened by Mr. Anton Baraga, president. It was attended by mostly older members, but for the future, we will even conduct our own English meetings in the evening with socials to follow and more of our young people attending.
Our discussion was based on the 40th Anniversary and Victory Dance to be held Saturday, November 8, 1941 at the Slovene Workmen’s Home, Waterloo Road. We are making a serious plea to all our St. /John members, to all AFU members and friends in Cleveland and a very personal invitation to all out-of-towners. Will you help to make our St. John’s 40th Anniversary and Victory Dance a success? Will you be there to be greeted by Mr. Baraga, president of St. Jolih’s and chairman and by y. t. co-chairlady ? We hope it’s a date with each and every one of you to be present at our dance with Tony Malovasic Blue Jackets.
Our Saints won two bowling games from Napredek Bums. We certainly “blew” to help our boys get those strikes.
Frank Chukayne certainly has a pleasant way of greeting the females—hmm . . . Incidentally has any one watched Flag-ovich bowl? . . . Even though
Chuck Clements wasi
his best at bowl spirit . . . It’s the P< his ball that helps ^ make his strikes . ■ •	^	l

Pins, balls and people, put them together and it’s bowling. That’s r^ght, another Friday has passed and again the Saints and Johnnies played. On alleys 1-2-the Johnnies played against Ilirska Vila No. 1. The Saints played against Napredek Bums qn alleys 7-8 . . .
Had the pleasure of being introduced to Vince Hart of the Johnnies . . .
Another Sunday was spent at the bowling alleys which are located on E. 152nd Street. Betsy Ross played with St. Johh’s. They will continue to play together on Sundays to follow. It will begin at 2 o’clock, so« don’t forget fellas, be there on, time.
After bowling Betty Plevnik and I accompanied Elsie Desmond home where we were introduced to her brother Wally, and some friends who came home from Miami University for a week-end. Betty and Elsie had many questions to ask him for they are both planning to go there in September, 1942. What do you think about the college, girls? ...

Joe Fadel celebrated his birthday on October the 18th by taking his g. f. Rose Mohorčič to the high spots. Accompanying them were Edwin Baraga and his g. f. Celia Zalar . . .

Boys, do you want to take your girl someplace where you don’t have to spend much and also have a good time? Well, I have solved your problem.
Come to our Victory Dance on November the 8th at the Slovenian Workmen’s Home on Waterloo Rd. Jute-jazz will be furnished by Tony Malovasic and his Blue Jackets. So hurry and get your tickets. Only a few left!

“Rich” Osolin is going to do a little celebrating Saturday night. Why? He has played for a year with Tony Malavasic’s orchestra. As you all know he is that handsome saxophone player. (Am I right girls?) . . .

Betsy Rošs’ Hayride
 ---------------- 4
Cleveland, O. — Agaip Betsy Ross Lodge 186, AFU, entertained their many friends with ‘another of their elegant good times, and another success was marked in the books of many people who attended. The day was dreary and even rain every 'once in awhile, but when the time for the gang to meet ar-■ rived the rain ceased and a wonderful night for the hay-! ride was enjoyed by all.
We arrived at the Holmes > Avenue Slovenian hall to be , greeted by a gang of 18 couples Jail ready to participate in the \ hayride. With our two able lead-,'ers Dot and Ike we started off Jon to the farm. Snyder’s Farm,
; a beautiful spot and really a 31 place worth while going to. J 3 P. Morgan was on hand to greet . the gang at the farm and after a bit of get-together the wagon covered with hay and drawn b>
*! two able horses pulled ui 'to the gate and we all jumpec
t on-
r, On the ride we found “Beany’ n Sluga our accordian player dish ing out the tunes to help out in j ! our singing along with Eleanor. Enjoying the ride we found Blackie Krall with his girl friend J Frances Zupančič, Ike Kocin and J Rose Krinze, Jim Romano and Ann Quinn, J. P. Morgan and Dot Rossa, Lena Femec and Stan j Rossa, Johnny Fiediga and Lou Urankar, Bill Quinn and Helen j Kusten, Eddie Kocin and Edith Femec, Frank Kocin and Cath-: erine Cinkole, Frank Sbrocco
I and Jean Skok, Albert Batich : and Marie Miklavič, Ottsie Rufe
■ and Ann Koyel, Andy Zadeli and
• Connie Končan, Ivan Rozanc ; and Yours truly, and Frank 5 Martic and Ann Laurich. Our
■ friends John Quinn, Joe Bar-
• bish and Johnny Kapel will have - to tell you their girl-friends’
3'j names because they were all
having such a rip-roaring good time I didn’t get them. But all P I know is that we all sure had a r one grand time on the ride es-■* pecially with that “sweet” coun-d try air.
II As we looked around we saw much but after all we can’t men-j tion names tut tut — We won-: der who the couples were who walked along beside the wagon. and then all of sudden they , weren’t. Our master of ceremonies on the ride leading the singing off and ending up with being a solo (J. P. Morgan) — The two fellows Johnny Fiediga and Marsen being the proud possessors of the Spirits we all i needed. Too bad that we didn’t istop when we were at the good J in that nickel jamboree, i ight
Blackie, Ivan, and Stan?
The chicken dinner was grand and with that welcoming address in Slovenian by Ikey and in English by J. P. we all developed a huge appetite which really was very well taken care of by our meal. We still wonder who took all the potatoes! What is this all meat and no potatoes for gang in the middle? Polkas and moonlight waltzes and singing around the fireplace took care of the rest of the evening.
We’re still wondering... Where did Ikey and his girl friend disappear after the din-! ner... Who’s the Romeo that informed us his new trade was “Ma-Sewer” ... Who the three carloads were that got lost on the way home and were going around in circles... Some fun — Right.
Well—Ave all had fun and we’re all looking forward to a other grand ride but this time it can’t be a Hay ride so look forward to a Sleigh or Toboggan , Ride ... But ’til then let’s settle jfor the Moonlight Skat'e to take
Imprisonment and Inhuman Treatment of Slovenes by Nazis
(Continuation)
The third group is in Paracin,
283 people. They are settled in the small town and in the surrounding villages. The Serbian people received the Slovenes friendly and hospitably. But they also are poor and live on cheese, onions and bread. The living quarters are primitive and our deported people who mostly belong to the educated class, as professors, lawyers, judges, merchants, are gathered in the houses of Serbi an peasants. They complain above all for not having clothes, washing, shoes and money, Their condition becomes worse and worse because transport after transport goes to Serbia and because, at the same time also Serbs from Styria, Bosnia and Macedonia must move j to Serbia. ^
The Germans deprived oui deported people of all movables and property and led them im | poverished to Serbia.
The deported of Paracin e. g.
; left at home a fortune of 60 to 180 millions of Dinars, those in 1 Cupri ja about 15 millions
■,! which have been taken by the
1; „
j j Germans.
jj In one transport there were j also 60 prostitutes arrested by j: the Gestapo in Maribor and pur-^posely led away together with Ll | the deported Slovenes in spite B j of the protest of the latter, hi In general the behavior of the i. Gorman organs during the deportation must be severly criticized. The “cream” of the Slo-| venian nation in Styria , was dragged^at night with disgust-: ing rudeness out of their homes ! into the cellars of the barracks;
• when the people took leave from . their country, there were unde-> scribable scenes; no film could ’ show this entirely. One of the [ deported, a high official wrote:
I Our hearts became like stones!
1 and an endless hatred is piled L! up. The fina'l aim; annihilation J of the Slovene Nation.
- j The persecution of the Slo-| vene nation in the whole territory occupied by the Germans had not only the character of a passing hatred, but aims at the annihilation of the Slovene nation. All the better known in-I tellectuals, and economically important classes, are expelled from their country, and the mass of the people is to be Germanized by force.
In Upper Carniola a newspaper is published and displayed i on the walls. In the second issue it is written: “You are akin to I the Germans by blood and spirit In your veins flows Germai blood, although you are ni more aware of it. As the blove ^ nes came about the year 600 in these regions,“they found there remnants of German tribes and mixed with them. In the time of the Franco-Saxon domination German peasants began to settle there. Compact German settlements arose around Skofja Loka. Bled, Kranj. Towns and boroughs are German foundations. The form of the settlements is German and German is the civilization. The descendants of the German settlers were . Slovenized, but the “Karntnei Volksbund” wants now to a-; waken the inner call of th(
! blood. All the Upper Carniol ians ožlght now to jdin tluv
“Karntner Volksbund”.

TRAVELERS AID SEES BILL SAFELY HOME
the Slovenian Home on Holmes Ave. Several of its members also bought shares in the Hall. The Hall is being remodeled and it will soon be one of the nicest j halls in Ohio. All the Flag -! makers are busy learning the j Lodge Song in time tc sing it at the Anniversary Dance.
The Betsy Ross baseball team1 will soon blossom out in very attractive new jackets. Never knew before that the colors of all the AFU Lodges are, 1 guess, red, white and blue. Mike Krall and Ivan Rožance are to be the Head Chefs at our anniversary dance. -It seems that there is a shortage of B. R. girls who are willing to stay in the kitchen on the night of the dance to take care of the hot dogs. So the two gentlemen mentioned above have kindly volunteered their services. Nice going, boys. But you can’t back out of it on the 22nd and we’re not responsible for any of our guests’ indigestion troubles, either.
If Ike Kocin doesn’t quit “segregating” everybody and j everything, we personally, are) going to “segregate” him right out of the Lodge. Incidentally, it looks like two romances in the Betsy Ross household are really doing pretty well. After: Saturday’s Hayride, we’re be-, ginning to save our pennies for'
! wedding gifts for Ike and Rose; and Blackie and Frances. We’re tempted very greatly to tell all ! about Joe Kozar and his Blonde.
! Should we, Joe? Also about Stan Zagorc and the Irish. It has been rumored out our way that Betsy Ross is about to form a ! Roller-Skating Club. From the interest that has been aroused at the suggestion, it shouldn’t take long for it to get started.
So go to it, Johnny Fidiega. Coming back to Blondes, we heard quite a bit about Willie 5 Quinn’s blonde, and we’re inclined to agree that she is OK 5 Betsy Ross has acquired several new feminine additions toj, the lodge—four girls who have:j been attending all the B. R.’.s af- \ fairs and been really quite topg rate boosters. Welcome to oui.( lodge, Catherine Cinkole, Elea- ] nore Alic, Edith Femec, and Rose Krainze. We’re very glad I to have you as one of us. # Finally met Boosters’ Chubby Champa. Sergeant Champa j
 who is home on furlough. To
Alice Laurich: I’m not expect-j ing to lose my shoes again but I am looking forward to another one of those real Slovenian polkas with you. Richard Oslin and j Tony Malovasic are sure doing ; la good job of rolling up those j j high scores in bowling on Sunday afternoons. An afterthought—it would be pretty ' swell if not only the Struthers boys’ bowling team played a game with the B. R.’s on Sunday 1 the 23rd of November but it would, be darn good if we could persuade five girls from the " Cardinals to a match game with the Betsy Ross five. How about lit girls?
i Walter Desmond, B. R. mem-1 ber, was home the past week to;
: visit with his folks. College life i evidently agrees with him very j well—but don’t study too hard,
| Walter. Wally sends greetings !! to all his fellow-members of the Betsy Ross.

We’tt be seeing you all in Girard this weekend at the Golden Eagles’ Dance.

However we’re making doubly; sure of a good time that evening so we’re all attending for a while the Ilirska Vila Social.
We again hope to meet Brother Anton Krapenc who we remem- j ber as a grand singer. It’s tooi bad you’re not a Betsy Ross,; Tony. You certainly could add to our collection of Slovenian songs.
November 15—BETSY ROSS MIDNIGHT SKATE—Betsy Ross members and their friends are sponsoring a private roller-skating party at the roller-bowl derby in Willoughby. It seems that despite the sore knees and j backs, everyone had such a good time at the last roller-skating! party, that they all are count-j ing the days until the next one. j Even the beginners are making Sure they attend. We extend an invitation to the ypung and old I members of other lodges to j j come out and have a good time with us on the 15th of 'Novem-ber. The skate is to start at 11 p. m. and last till 2:30 a. m. Let’s all be there and skate in the wee hours of the nite.

|lodges are asked to keep this ^
■ date open and plan to attend our dance. The B. R. s Blue j Jacket's will play for the danc-! ers. A novelty feature of the ; evening will be the presentation I of the BETSY ROSS SONG.
All year long Betsy Ross has been entertaining its members ! and friends at a number oi varied affairs. At everyone of these affairs, we’ve guaranteed a good time to everybody who attended. The Anni versary Dance is ' the biggest affair scheduled on our very full calendar. We hope to see not only all the Cleveland Lodges well represented at the dance but also several out-of-town organizations. We extend an invitation especially to the Detroit Brigadiers, Struthers, Pennsylvania, Girard, and all of Ohio. So right now, before you forget, draw a big red circle around NOVEMBER 22nd and save it for the BETSY ROSS ANNIVERSARY DANCE.
November 23—B etsy Ross Bowlers extend an invitation! to the Struthers’ Cardinals j Bowling team to a game on Sunday afternoon at 2 p. m. Why not plan to attend the Betsy Ross Dance Saturday evening, stay overnight, and bowl Sunday afternoon. If the Cardinals five are interested, will their captain please get in touch w ith the B. R. Captain, Ivan Rožance, 469 East 149th Street, Cleve-land, Ohio or your scribe.
! ODDS and ENDS’—Pvt. Joe Novak and Patsy Krall send greetings to the BETSY ROSS MEMBERS; One B. R. member is seeing quite a bit of the world these days—Pvt.

Notice To Uncle i Sam’s Reei'uits
All lodge members in the American Fraternal Union are notified to send in addresses of. those members who have been( recruited in Uncle Sara’s Select- j ive Service Army. Immediately after address of enrollee is submitted, the Nova Doba will be sent each week — anywhere in the country. Send in his ad-j dress today.
Cleveland, O. — He looked small and forlorn, walking toward the Travelers Aid Society office, encircled by the arm of the brawny Terminal policeman; withall the encircling arm was a protecting one.
Yet his defiance of everything could be sensed in the set of his youthfully chubby body, the blight alive eyes, his stubby nose and his tightly clenched jaws. It was his jaws that gave him away. They seemed disciplined against any tell-tale wigglings of his chin.
Bill told his story quietly. He had slapped a teasing girl in school before he thought. He didn’t feel his misdemeanor justified the strapping he got but his father had agreed with the teacher. So he had run away. He had conic all the way from Canada, evading the customs officers.
His mother had been gone three years, Bill explained, and he didn’t get on well with his father who objected to his working at odd jobs for his own money. He would like to live with a favorite sister.
He readily understood going to detention home while the Travelers Aid Society, one of the 100 agencies Community Fund givers help to support, tried to help his plans along. A week passed with Bill lonesome and depressed. Suddenly his mother appeared for him and elatedly Bill saw his plans come true. Upon return he’d re-enter school and they’d live at his
sister’s.
Bill was grateful to Travelers Aid too, in his way. “Good-bye,” he said grinning. “Awfully glad I got picked up—might have been going yet. Now, I’m going home.”
Established in 1919 as a help to the Weary traveler who was often accosted in traveling stations by unscrupulous individuals seeking to lead him to chosen spots where they might rob him at will, the Travelers Aid Society has been blessed for its cheerful service by many a confused and troubled traveler like Bill.
The Community Fund Campaign, October 20 to 30, gives Community Fund contributors | an opportunity to help Cleveland’s troubled people by giving once to 100 agencies of mercy for a whole year’3 service.
Start Sooner
Cleveland, O. — Start sooner ; for traffic safety. The man who allows a little extra time for delay in traffic is the safe driver. The parents of children who are of school age will be more assured of their child 3 safety if they know the child ha 3 plenty of time to get to school. The L child who known he does not 5ihave to hurry in order to ar-l rive on time will not attempt to f rush across any unguarded thor-1 oughfare in the journey from ■ home to school.
- Speed is the cause of the i great majority of traffic acci-I dent3. Start sooner and reducc
- your speed. Traffic has recently !_ increased to such a point that n facilities built to accomodate i- the normal volume have become e overtaxed, creating new dangers r j to all persons using the streets. i- This condition can be overcome ie by operating all vehicles at re-1” duced speeds. Start sooner, clim-ie inate the hurry, by doing so
| you will help make our streets safer for everyone, i	■___

place by downing the St. John’s j Saints for two games. The Buimj were paced by their captain Johnny Champa, who hit a 488 series. Stan Zagorc with 498 and Tony Baraga with 488 were the; mainstays for the Saints. At this stage of the race it appears that the Saints are the hard luck team of the league.
Betsy Ross’ Streak Ended *After winning eight straight games the Betsy Ross lads bowed to the Ilirska Vila No. 2 team in the second game of their encounter. The B. R. five got right back in the win column by taking the final game of the match. The Flagmakers were led by Joe Kozar with 54, which was high ; for the evening. The No. 2 quint i'-^vas paced by Laddie Debevec with a 533 series.

Klic divjih gosi
kaj to pomeni. Vedela je, da jo bo tisto, kar ji kani povedati, bridko zabolelo.
“Ne, Martin, počakati moraš malo, da dobim čist ovartnik,” je izpregovoril počasi, blago, malone šaljivo.
Amaliji je udarila kri v lice. Uprla je oči v Lindo, da bi videla, ali ga ni morda slišala. To da učiteljica je~ zajtrkovala z vedrim obrazom dalje.
Judita je vzrojila vkljub temu, da se je Amaliji namrgodilo čelo.
“No — po mojih mislih bi imel dovolj čistih ovratnikov, če si ne bi kupil samo enega na leto,” je ciknila. “Trde ovratnike pa pošlji drugikrat v Ny-kerk, namesto da jih daš likat materi.”
“Imaš prav, Judita, imaš prav,” se je zahihital Kaleb. “Veš, nekoliko zanikaren sem.” Porinil je stol nazaj in vstal izza mize. “Karli, zaprezi kobilo. Midva pojdeva v cerkev, pa naj imam ovratnik ali ne.” Obrnil je proti družini upognjeni hrbet in je oddrsal v kuhinjo. Amalija je odšla za njim.
“Kaleb, menda ne pojdeš brez ovratnika v cerkev?” je dejala s potrtim glasom.
- Mož se je počasi zasukal in jo pogledal.
“Glej, Islandci bodo videli, kakšna izborna žena si, eh?” je dejal mehko. “No, pomeni se rajši z Judito. Reci ji, naj se malo lepše vede. Ta deklina je postala nekoliko preveč mična. Razumeš?” Lice se mu je kislo nakremžilo. Amalija je bila vajena tega. Kaleb je potegnil z roko preko brkov, kakor da bi si hotel obrisati spačenost z obraza. Oblekel je suknjo in je cdšel iz hiše. Amalija je bila vesela, da ni opazil grbe za ovratnikom suknje.
Naglo je očistila z dekletoma mizo in tiho posvarila Judito. “Ne smeš se mu odgovarjati ali biti predrzna do> njega, Judita Saj veš, da se stara in ne more tega prenašati,4’ je zamrmrala potihoma, da je ne bi Linda slišala.
“Nič starejši ni, kakor je bil. Vedno je enako hudoben, ne morem več prenašati tega,” jo je zavrnila Judita naglo, ne da bi krotila svoj glas. “Menda 3em že dovolj pametna in vem, kako ga sovražim!”
“Judita!” je vzkliknila Ela vsa iz sebe. “Svojega rodnega očeta!”
“Ni mi oče! Kaj me briga, četudi je! Ni vreden niti, da bi ga preklinjala. Ti pa drži jezik za zobmi!” je zavpila Judita in zavihtela roko nad Elo.
V kuhinji ni bilo čuti drugega ko prasketanje drv v štedilniku in rahlo praskanje Kalebo-ve britve. V podstrešju je mogla razločiti šum otrok in upala je, da ne bodo prišli prekasno zajtrkovat. Kajti če bo Kaleb zapazil slabo zlikani ovratnik, bo to zadostovalo, da se bo razburil, četudi ne bo nobenega drugega povoda.
Linda je prišla prva iz gor-njice. Amalija jo je ošinila z naglim pogledom in videla, kako je zala v modri svileni obleki, spričo katere -so se ji zdeli njeni lasje še svetlejši in koža še nežnejša.
“Ali dovolite, da pogrnem mizo namesto vas, gospa Garova,” se je ponudila Linda.
“Ne — nikar se ne trudite,” jo je zavrnila Amalija osorno, da jo je Linda presenečeno pogledala. Amaliji je lahna rdečica zalila lica. Sama si ni bila na jasnem, čemu je ta hip zasovražila gospodično. “Stopite rajši ven in poglejte, kako krasno jutro imamo,” je naglo dodala. “Judita pride takoj dol in pripravi mizo.”
Linda je odšla nekoliko začudena k ograjeni staji. Par let-njakov je prišlo k lesenemu plotu in ji pomolilo nasproti svoje gobčke, da bi jih božala.
Kaleb sp je medtem obril in potegnil nase oškrobljeno belo srajco. Nato je vzel v roke ovratnik, ki ga mu je bila pripravila Amalija. Pogledal ga je in ga položil brez besede na prejšnje mesto. Amalija je pristavila močnik v peč, pripravljena na njegovo navadno godrnjanje. Vesela je bila, da je Linda šla ven. Toda Kaleb ni napravil nobene opazke. Pustil je ovratnik tam, kjer je bil, in je odšel narahlo v hišo.
Judita., Ela in fanta So prišli drug za drugim v hišo. Zajtrk je bil čez nekaj minut na mizi. Linda je vstopila pri sprednjih vratih, ki so se o,dpirala proti konjušnici. Svilena obleka se ji je lahno napihavala od sape, ki jo je gredoč delala. S seboj je prinesla polno naročje vrbovih mačic, ki jih je bila nabrala v jarku poleg šole. Položila jih je v košaro poleg klavirja. Ela jih je pogledala in se naglo odstranila v kuhinjo.
“Čemu šariti s tem po hiši,” se je zacmerila proti Amaliji. “Oče se bo nedvomno vsajal zastran njenega samovoljnega početja.”
Amalija je vzdihnila. “Pa naj se vsaja, Ela,” je odvrnila. “Pojdi zdaj zajtrkovat. Pokliči druge k mizi. Če ne bomo pravočasno zajtrkovali, ne pojde v cerkev."
Ob nedeljah je Kaleb pred jedjo molil. Ob drugih dneh so se pomenkovali popred o poljedelskih zadevah. Linda in ostali so sklonili glave, a Judita je sedela vzravnano in gledala naravnost predse. Po sili je obračala misli na^ nekaj drugega, dokler ni rekel Kaleb “amen.” Med molitvijo ji je šinila v glavo misel, naj se Kaleb ne zahvaljuje Bogu za to, kar bodo prejeli, temveč njej, Martinu, Eli, Amaliji in tudi Karliju, ki se niu je v tla uprti obraz skrivoma kremžil.
“Rad bi te vzel danes s seboj, Martin,” je dejal Kaleb. “Zelo dobro bi bilo zate, če bi prišel za izpremembo kedaj med mlade fante. Toda nočem, da bi se ti bilo treba sramovati rodnega očeta, Martin.”
Martinu se je podolgasti obraz radovedno dvignil. Ni mu bilo jasno, kaj Kaleb meni, in vpričo učiteljice se ni upal vprašati. Zato se je iznova lotil svojega močnika, počasi, da ne bi vpričo Linde nespodobno zacmokal.
Vsi so molče zajtrkovali dalje. Kalebu je prevlekel obraz bolesten izraz obžalovanja, ko je to povedal. Amalija je vedela,

Poleg igre1 imajo Jolietčani še več lepih! točk na programu, tako, da bo za vse udeležence dovolj užitka, i članstvo vseh društev, spadajočih v federacijo, naj se udeleži J v velikem številu te prireditve,; ker društva, ki slavijo 35-letnice! so vredna, da jih obiščejo vsi! člani bližnjih društev in v brat-j skem veselju proslavijo ta tako! redek dogodek.

Denver, Colo. — članstvo dru-štvo Sv. Jožefa, št. 21 ABZ, va- !j bim, da se polnoštevilno udeleži prihodnje mesečne seje, katera se bo vršila 13. novembra v na-1, vadnih prostorih in ob navadni ’ uri. Na tej seji bo treba ukre-^ niti več važnih reči. Med temi; bo ena najvažnejših, kako prirediti proslavo naše 40-letnice, | da bo uspeh lepši in boljši. Kot!' je bilo že poročano, se bo ta! proslava vršila 22. novembra. ' Člane našega društva že zdaj | opozarjam, da si preskrbijo vstopnice za "dotično prireditev. | Dobijo se pri društvenih urad-! ■ nikih in stanejo en dolar za o-
J	i
sebo. Ta vsota pa pokrije vse: vstopnino, plesno zabavo ter jed in pijačo. Odbor se bo potrudil za postrežbo, da bo zadovoljila vse posetnike. Člani naj se ne ' zanašajo, da jim bodo uradniki ! prinašali vstopnice na dom, ■ ampak vsak član naj se sam po- i trudi, da si preskrbi vstopnico. ■ Društvo je prav toliko njihovo, oziroma vsakega posameznega 1 člana kot je vsakega odbornika. 1 In 40-letnica se tudi ne praznuje vsako leto.
l
Na društveni seji meseca novembra bo tudi priporočljivo . razmotrivati o točki 375-A na- 1 ših pravil, katera se glasi: ^ “Vsakega društva dolžnost je, J da enkrat na leto proslavi ob- J letnico svoje ustanovitve ali zvezin dan. V kritje tozadevnih ; stroškov imajo društva pravico naložiti poseben asesment od 25 do 50 centov, katerega mora plačati vsak član, brez izjeme.” i
Članom pri tej priliki tudi ! naznanim, da sem prejel iz glavnega urada vzorce zvezinih znakov, za moške in ženske. Na : prihodnji seji se lahko določi, koliko teh znakov naročimo.
Na dnevnem redu prihodnje 3eje bo tudi volitev zastopnikov za izredno konvencijo našega Doma. Ta konvencija bo potrebna zaradi resignacije domo-vega oskrbnika. Konvencija se bo vršila 7. decembra. Priporočljivo je, kakor sem omenil že na zadnji seji, da društvo izvoli za izredno konvencijo tiste zastopnike, ki so društvo zastopali na zadnji redni konvenciji. Na svidenje torej na društveni seji 13. novembra! — Za društvo št. 21 ABZ:

Chicago, lil. — Najprej naj poročam veselo vest, da se člani društva Liberty Bell, št. 70 ABZ boljše udeležujejo društvenih sej kot so se jih v poletju. Jesenski dnevi so tukaj, in vreme je hladnejše, kar seveda delno pripomore k večji udeležbi, največ pa pripomorejo k temu naše članice, ker so pričele letos v veliko večjem številu pp-sečati naše društvene seje. To je pohvale vredno, zato želim, da bi jih še ostali člani in članice posnemali ter se udeleževali stoodstotno. Posebno zdaj je to potrebno, ker je društvo zelo aktivno v predpripravah za igro, in pa športni klub je pričel s kegljanjem.
Prihodnja seja federacije društev ABZ za države Illinois, Wisconsin in Indiana se bo vršila dne 9. novembra v Jolietu, 111. Zastopniki iz države Indiane bodo na tej seji prvič navzoči, kar je zelo razveseljivo! Sicer ne bodo vsa društva zastopana; upamo pa, da bodo v bližnji bodočnosti polagoma še
bo je 35 csntov in začetek prireditve je določen za 8. uro zvečer.
Tako je ali bo vse pripravljeno, samo posetnikov in posetnic i je treba. V prvi vrsti je seveda dolžnost naših društvenih članic, da gotovo pridejo na 20-let-1 nico svojega društva, saj se tak jubilej obhaja samo enkrat vi zgodovini vsake skupine. Pri-J jazno vabimo vse glavne odbor-; nike ABZ, ki bivajo v Clevelan-j du ali v bližini, pa tudi vse dru-| ge člane in članice Ameriške' bratske zveze iz Clevelanda, Eu-, clida in drugih okoliških našel-1 bin, da nas na tej prireditvi po-setijo. Pripeljejo naj s seboj tudi vse svoje prijatelje in znance. čim večja družba nas bo zbrana, tem boljša bo zahteva. Torej, na veselo svidenje na večer 25. oktobra!

Indianapolis, Ind. — V nedeljo 2. novembra se bo vršila skupna seja društev Ameriške bratske zveze v Indianapolisu. Društvo Sloga, št. 166 ABZ, je na svoji redni seji 19. oktobra razmotrivalo, da bi bilo treba dati nekaj navodil žastčpnikom, ki se bodo udeležili seje federacije društev ABZ v državah Illinois, Wisconsin in Indiana, katera seja se bo vršila v nedeljo 9. novembra v Jolietu, 111. Na seji sta bila izvoljena dva odbornika, da se sestaneta z društvenima odboroma društev št. 45 ABZ in št. 194 ABZ. To se je zgodilo in omenjeni odbori so prišli do prepričanja, da se skliče skupna seja, na kateri se bo članstvu vseh treh društev pojasnilo, kaj pomenijo federacije za rast in napredek organizacije. Da ne bo treba vsakemu društvu posebej sklicati seje, se je določilo, da bo društvo Sv. Jožefa, št. 45 ABZ, premestilo svojo sejo z druge na prvo rie-deljo; torej seja društva št. 45 ABZ se bo vršila v nedeljo 2. novembra, in se bo pričela ob 1. uri popoldne. Ta seja bo trajala od 1. do 2. ure popoldne. Od druge ure naprej pa bo seja odprta za vse člane ABZ v Indianapolisu.
Apeliram na .članstvo vseh treh tukajšnjih društev Ameriške bratske zveze, namreč št. 45, 166 in 194, da se kar mogoče polnoštevilno udeležijo seje v cerkveni šolski dvorani v nedeljo 2. novembra popoldne. Tam se bomo pogovorili o marsičem, kar bo v korist društvom in Ameriški bratski zvezi. Dobro je tudi, da se včasih v večjem številu snidemo ter obnovimo stara prijateljstva in se utrdimo v bratstvu. Na svidenje torej v nedeljo 2. novembra na skupni seji.

Lorain, O. — Seja slovenske pomožne sekcije v Lorainu se bo vršila v petelj 24. oktobra ob 7.30 zvečer v mali dvorani Slovenskega narodnega doma. Vabljeni so vsi Slovenci, in zastopniki, da se te seje udeležijo.

SPLOŠNI TEDENSKI PREGLED
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
ZAOSTALI PTIČI
Zvezni senat je pretekli teden omilil določbo glede naturaliziranih ameriških državljanov, ki ostanejo v inozemstvu čez določeno dobo. Ako senat ne bi bil napravil te izjeme v natu-ralizacijskih postavah, bi bilo dne 15. oktobra izgubilo ameriško državljanstvo kakih pet tisoč naturaliziranih državljanov, ki se niso mogli pravočasno vrniti iz inozemstva v Ameriko. Večina teh zaostalih ptičev je v Evropi, kjer čakajo na vizeje, na otajanje zamrznjenega denarja v tamkajšnjih bankah ali na transportacijo. V senatu je bilo sklenjeno, da ti zaostali ptiči določenih datumov ne bodo izgubili ameriškega dr-

DOPISI
Chicago, lil. — Iz urada federacije društev Ameriške bratske zveze za Illinois, Wisconsin in Indiana. — Tem potom se uradno naznanja vsem društvom, spadajočim v federacijo, da se bo vršila prihodnja seja dne 9. novembra 1941 v Slovenija dvorani, 405 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, Illinois. Pfičetek seje bo točno ob 10. uri dopoldne. Vsi zastopniki društev so prošeni, naj bodo gotovo točni, da nam bo mogoče končati sejo vsaj do ene ure popoldne. Ob 2:30 popoldne bo slavnost 35-letnice društva Sv. Petra in Pavla, št. 66, ABZ. Na tej slavnosti bo nastopil kot glavni govornik Janko N. Rogel j, glavni predsednik Ameriške bratske zveze. Chicaški igralci, bodo nastopili z veseloigro “Babilon.” Pri tej igri je toliko smeha, da se boste Imenitno zabavali in do solz nasmejali, ako jo pridete pogledat. To vam lahko že v
drugi pristopili v našo federacijo, da bomo vsi skupaj z združenimi močmi delali za čimboljši razvoj naše .zveze v tem okrožju.
Seja se bo pričela ob desetih dopoldne. Ker bo ob tej priliki dr. št. 66 ABZ obhajalo 35-let-nico, bo nastopil kot principijel-ni govornik brat Janko N. Rogelj, gl. predsednik ABZ. Ostali program, ki se bo razvijal popoldne, bo vseboval tudi ša-loigro “Babilon” v petih dejanjih, katero prirede diletantje iz Chicaga. Igra sama je vredna, da se občinstvo iz tega o-krožja prireditve udeleži v polnem številu. Poleg tega bo pel kvartet pevskega zbora “France Prešeren” iz Chicaga, ki je poznan po svojih izvrstnih nastopih ob mnogih prilikah. Nadalje bo še mnogo drugih točk na sporedu, kar bo poročano pozneje.
Chicaški bus bo odpeljal posetnike točno ob devetih zjutraj izpred Gottliebove cvetličarne, zato vabim vse, ki se nameravajo udeležiti te priredbe, da se najprvo do časa priglase pri tajniku Krapencu, ali pa pri predsedniku Gottliebu glede voznine, ter da ne pozabijo biti točni za na bus v nedeljo zjutraj. .
Chicaška društva spadajoča v našo federacijo, bodo priredila božičnico za člane mladinskega oddelka v soboto zvečer, 20. decembra v Kovačičevih prostorih na 2296 Blue Island Aye. Nastopil bo Miklavž in bo razdelil darila, nakar bo mladina dobila prigrizek, starejši pa bomo pomočili grla s pijačo. Poleg tega bodo kazali premikajoče slike kar trije domači “profesorji,” ki so: naš pogrebnik Žefran, naš mlekar Wencel in fotograf Ribich. Torej, starši, pripeljite svoje otroke na to prireditev, s čemur jih boste brez-dvomno razveselili, in zraven se boste tudi sami zabavali z ostalimi člani in članicami naše bratske 6rgani*acije.
Naj še omenim, da bo igra “Babilon” ponbvljena v Chicagu dne 11. januarja 1942 v šolski dvorani na Cermak Rd. in Wolcott cesti. Vstopnice so po 50 centov, kar vključuje tudi ples pod vodstvom izvrstne godbe. O tej priredbi bom podrobnejše poročal pozneje.
Končno vabim vse na obilno udeležbo na federacijsko sejo in proslavo v Jolietu, 111., dne devetega novembra. Na svidenje torej, članstvo in prijatelji!
Joseph Oblak.

Cleveland, O. — Društvo Jutranja zvezda, št. 137 Ameriške bratske zveze, bo v soboto 25. oktobra obhajalo svojo 20-let-nico z veselico, katero priredi v dvorani Twilight na 6025 St. Clair Ave. Naša društvena predsednica Genovefa Zupan je že nedavno v Novi Dobi lepo opisala zgodovino našega društva, zato ne bom teh reči ponavljala, ampak naj bo ta moj skromni dopis posvečen le vabilu na našo veselico. Najprej naj zagotovim prospektivne posetnike, da se bo pripravljalni odbor potrudil za dobro postrežbo v vseh ozirih in da ne bo nihče omagal od lakote ali žeje. Za ples bo igral Trebarjev orkester, ki bo gotovo zadovoljil plesalce in druge. Posetnikom bodo oddana 4 lepa darila. Vstopnina za ose-

NARODNA OBRAMBA
Dne 16. oktobra je minilo leto od prve registracije za obvezno vojaško službo. Registriralo se je okrog 16 milijonov mladih mož. To je bil nekak začetek našega obrambnega programa. Danes šteje ameriška armada nad poldrugi milijon mož, prilično dobro izvežbanih in oboroženih. Bivši miličniki, nad 28 let stari vpoklicanci in nekateri drugi, katerih družinske razmere so take, da jim vojaška služba povzroča velike neprilike, se polagoma odpuščajo iz armade. Njihova mesta pa zavzemajo novi vpoklicanci.
OBOROŽITEV LADIJ
V poslanski zbornici zveznega kongresa je bila pretekli te-'den z veliko večino sprejeta predloga administracije za izpremembo tako zvane nevtral-nostne postave v toliko, da bo dovoljevala oborožitev trgovskih ladij. Za predlogo je glasovalo 259 kongresnikov, proti pa 138. Predloga je bila nato poslana senatu, kjer se pričakuje vsaj en teden debate o isti. Splošno mnenje pa je, da bo predloga končno tudi v senatu sprejeta z veliko večino. Nekateri washingtonski krogi sodijo* ‘da bo senat šel dalje kot je šla poslanska zbornica, in bo glasoval za ukinitev nevtralnostne postave v celoti. K temu razpoloženju je dosti prispevalo torpediranje ameriške rušilke Kearny.
ROVI SE ODPIRAJO
Zaradi zahtev vojne industrije je bilo zadnje čase odprtih mnogo novih rudnikov in mnogo starih in opuščenih rudnikov je ponovno začelo obratovati. Posebno velika je zahteva za svinec, cink in živo srebro. V pridobivanju živega srebra je na prvem mestu država Californi-ja, in v novejšem času ga pridobiva znatne količine tudi država Nevada. V vseh Zedinjenih državah je lani obratovalo 159 'živosrebrnih rudnikov, ki so producirali skoro 38,000 posod živega srebra v vrednosti nad šest milijonov dolarjev.
VOJN4 SITUACIJA
Nemške armade, prodirajoče od treh strani, direktno od za-pada ter od severa in juga, so se pretekli teden znatno približale, Moskvi. Na najbližji točki so Nemci 57 milj oddaljeni od Moskve. To pomeni, da so dosegli krog zunanjih utrdb, ki obdajajo Moskvo. Po dosedanjih 'vesteh Nemci še vedno napredujejo, toda mnogo bolj počasi kot v prvih dneh velike ofenzive. Rusi protinapadajo z veliko srditostjo in poroča se, da prihajajo na fronto nove ruske čete iz Sibirije.
Poroča se, da so Rusi odločeni braniti Moskvo do zadnjega moža; od druge strani pa se poroča, da je Hitler pripravljen žrtvovati milijon mož za zavzetje Moskve. Verjetno je, da se ■bo Moskva dolgo držala, ker je še bolj utrjena kot Leningrad, katerega dosedaj tudi še niso -mogli zavzeti Nemci s svojimi finskimi tovariši vred. Odesa na jugu, dasi odrezana od kontinenta, jei odbijala napadalce polnih 59 dni, predno so jo zavzele združene nemške in ru-munske čete.
V Moskvi je bilo proglašeno obsedno stanje in vse prebivalstvo bo na primeren način mobilizirano proti napadalcem. Starejši ljudje in otroci so bili odpremljeni iz mesta. Inozemska poslaništva so se umaknila
