mi torej, kje stanu-
jejo tvoji starši.
Deček je povesil glavo, stisnil zobe in podvojil ihtenje. Inšpektor je namignil redarju, ki je prijel dečka za roko in ga od-vedel v sosedno sobo. Tu je že čakal mož, ki mu je hitro pre-iskal žepe. -
— Tega dečka pa gotovo niso privedli sem zato, ker je izropal Francosko banko, — je dejal mož i nizročil dečka drugemu mož in izročil dečka drugemu žen j ključev.
— Pojdi z menoj, — mu je dejal drugi mož.
Odvedel ga je na pokrito, asfaltirano dvorišče, kjer je skakalo trideset dečkov v sto-rosti od 7-16 let.
Bil je v ječi. In spomnil se je vsega, kar mu je pravil nekoč Panoufle o jetnišnicah.
Tu se človek torej seznani z vlomilci in morilci, tu se kujejo načrti za nove vlome in roparske napade.
In znova je zaplakal. Obenem mu je šinila v glavo drzna misel. Bil je Bretonec. Po babici je bil podedoval ponosno svoje-glavnost, ki postane pod gotovimi pogoji lepo čuvstvo poguma in plemenite nepopustlji-vosti.
— V ječi! — je zamrmral sam pri sebi. — Te sramote nisem zaslužil. — Toda četudi me bodo držali tu nekaj dni, ne spregovorim z nikomur niti besedice. Ne povem jim, kako se pišejo ti lopovi, ki jih nočem več videti . . .
Vsi tovariši v ječi so se mu zdeli ostudni. Niti najstarejši si niso drznili siliti^vanj z neokusnimi šalami, že čez nekaj ur so namreč vsi spoznali, koga imajo med seboj.
Zvečer so mu dali jesti, pa ni hotel.. Spati je moral s tovariši v skupni spalnici, zelo nizki, zatohli sobi, kamor je priha-! jal zrak samo skozi okenca pod stropom.
Preisakva ni dosegla zaželje-nega uspeha. Deček je trdovratno molčal tudi pred preiskovalnim sodnikom. Kot dober j psiholog je sodnik kmalu spo-; znal, da nima pred seboj niti j hinavca, niti lažnjivca. Dečkova usoda ga je zanimala in priza-| deval si je, da bi ga čim prej | izpustili.

Deček je bil opetovano pripravljen povedati sodniku vse po pravici, pa ga je nekaj zadržalo.
— če povem, kdo sta moj oče in mati, — si je mislil, — ju bo sodnik zaslišal in njuni zločini pridejo na dan. To bi bilo podlo. Ne, molčal bom!
Tako je bil sodnik prisiljen podpisati obsodbo. Naslednjega dne so prepeljali dečka v zaprtem vozu v kaznilnico za mladoletne obsojence. Kaznilnica ima petsto celic in v vsaki je zaprt po en otrok, preventivno aretiran in obsojen ali pa zaprt na prošnjo staršev samih. Vsak otrok ima svoje delo. Samo Mil-čku niso dale nobenega.
Ves dan in vso noč je bil sam v celici, ki jo je paznik zjutraj odprl, da je lahko odšel na dvorišče, kjer se je z drugimi obsojenci izprehajal, ne da bi s kom govoril.
Potem so ga pa zopet odvedli nazaj v samotno celico in do osmih zvečer, ko so šli vsi spat, ni videl razen paznika žive duše, niti slišal človeškega glasu.
Zaprt je bil v grobu, še stra-hotnejšem od groba, kjer počivajo mrliči, kajti za mrtve ljudi molijo, za njimi preteka j o solze in jim nosijo rože.
Mnogi stari obsojenci malone "zblazne, če jim bivanje v teh strašnih celicah malo podaljšajo.
Ubogi deček je bil strt. Zaman je razmišljal vse dolge dni in prečute noči, kaj je zakrivil, da so ga zaprli, njega, dvanajstletnega otroka. Sam pri sebi je pripominjal:
— Otroka, ki ima dobro srce in ki hoče ostati vse življenje pošten.
Edini odgovor na to obupno vprašanje so bile solze, ki jih je pretakal po cele dni in noči.
In prišli so napadi besnosti, divje1, tihe besnosti, ki je paznik ni mogel slišati, ki pa je poganjala dečku vso kri v glavo in ga dušila. Slednjič se ga je polastil obup in groza. Njegove muke so bile neznosne.
Tem slabše! Naj se zgodi karkoli — bil je že pripravljen izdati Slimaka in njegove pajdaše. Pove vse, kar ve o njih. Pove tudi, kaj je videl in slišal usodne noči v Moisdonu. Morda ga potem izpuste, morda bo zopet videl Claudineta.
Trdno je sklenil povedati'Vse. Toda nslednjega dne si je zopet' premislil. Bilo bi nedostojno ovaditi očeta in mater. Ne, tega pod nobenim pogojem ne stori.
Nekega dne je prišel ponj voz in ga odpeljal v sodno palačo. Vstopil je v majhno, mračno dvorano, ker je stala na straži mestna garda.
Okrog njega so bili možje in! žene odvratne zunanjosti. Čakal je dobro uro. Šele potem so se odprla vrata.
Poklicali so ga.
Vojak ga je prijel za roko in posadil na klop. Pred njim so sedeli trije črno oblečeni možje. Gledali so ga tako, da ga je postalo kar strah. Deček je takoj spoznal, da tem možem ne sme lagati. In sklenil je molčati.
Četrti, tudi črno oblečeni mož je vstal in spregovoril nekaj besed. Deček ni razumel, kaj je rekel.
čutil je za seboj mnogo ljudi, ki so za radovedno gledali.
— Drago dete, — je spregovoril črno oblečeni mož v sredini, — opusti slednjič molk. ki se ga tako trdovratno držiš. Povej nam svoje in ime svojega očeta, če bo treba, odgodimo obravnavo za teden dni, da zvemo resnico in ti prihranimo obsodbo, ki bi jo neradi izrekli nad teboj. No torej, ali odgovoriš na moje vprašanje
Deček je molče odkimal z glavo.
Po kratkem posvetovanju je predsednik razglasil obsodbo Deček je bil kot potepuh obso jen na poboljševalnico do polnoletnosti.
Zvečer +10 ga odpeljali nazaj v kaznilnico mladoletnih, kamor se je pa vrnil že kot obsojenec.

Major R. C. Streeter iz Mor ristowna, N. Jje načelnica ženskega oddelka marinskega zbora.
Preiskovalni sodnik se je pa zanimal za dečkovo usodo in je poskrbel, da so poslali Milčka v otroško kazensko kolonijo na kmete, v Moisselles. Dečkovo srce je kar poskakovalo od veselja. Zdaj se mu ni bilo treba več bati, da bi srečal Slimaka.
Med potjo mu je paznik pravil o življenju v koloniji, da hodijo otroci vsako nedeljo na iz-prehod, da jih je ravnatelj, star stotnik, vojaško organiziral, da imajo svoj pevski zbor in sploh da je življenje v koloniji prijetno.
— Ali se uče otroci v koloniji tudi čitati? — je vprašal deček paznika.
— Seveda. Kolonisti imajo vsa kdan dve uri šolo in nekateri dobe iz svojih predmetov celo izpričevala.
Dečku je postalo med vožnjo v vlaku slabo, čelo je imel vroče, ustnice izsušene in srce mu je močno utripalo.
— To ni nič hudega, — je menil paznik, — na svežem zraku si kmalu utrdiš zdravje.
Ko sta pa stopila skozi velika kaznilniška vrata, je paznik nadaljeval :
— Zdaj te predstavim gospodu ravnatelju. Lepo prijazno mu odgovarjaj in pazi, da se mu prikupiš. To je zelo dober gospod, malo strog sicer, toda vseskozi pravičen.
Vstopila sta v sprejemnico, kjer ju je sprejel uradnik in vpisal novega gosta. Takoj za njima je vstopil ravnatelj kaznilnice v spremstvu črno oblečene mlade dame.
— Gospod ravnatelj, je dejal paznik, — privedel sem dečka iz poboljševalnice, evo ga.
— A, dobro, — je odgovoril ravnatelj in ,premeril dečka s strogim pogledom.
— Poglejte, gospa de Pen-hoet, — je nedaljeval obrnjen k svoji spremljevalki, — pošiljajo nam novega kolonista, ki se mu ne pozna, da bi bil pokvarjen.
Helena ni takoj odgovorila. Nekaj nerazumljivega se je zganilo v njenem srcu.
— Vi, ki se tako zanimate za naše otroke, vi, ki vam pravijo "dobra gospa," boste gotovo priznali, seveda če njegov obraz ne laže, da se razlikuje od drugih.
— Prepričana sem, gospod ravnatelj, da njegov obraz ne laže. Kajne, di'ago dete, da boš priden in poslušen in da se boš rad učil delati.
— Da, gospa, — je zašepetal deček in naenkrat silno preble-del.
— Najprej ti moram poveda- £ >ti to, kar povem vsem, ki pride- % jo k nam, — je nadaljeval rav- ■ £ natelj, — da bo namreč tebi v £ prid, če boš, priden. Za nepo- £ slušne in trmaste imamo različ- % ne kazni; ne smejo na iz prehod,I % ne dobe jesti, zapremo jih ali * vtaknemo v prisilni jopič; pač pa imajo pridni ... £

je prekinila Helena, skočivši k dečku, ki bi bil malone omahnil, — temu otroku je slabo . . .
— Saj res . . . Antonine, pokličite koga in odvedite tega otroka v bolnico.
— Ali mi dovolite oditi z njim, gospo dravnatelj?
Kmalu je deček počival na sveže postlani postelji v bolnici, pogreznjen v trdno spanje. Ob postelji je sedela mlada dama in pazila, da bi bolni deček ničesar ne pogrešal. Ko se je pa prepričala, da mu ničesar ne manjka, se je ozrla nanj in za-šepetala:
— Zdaj je star dvanajst let, kakor tale tu . . . Bože, ohrani mi ga! Kaj neki se je zgodilo ž njim v teh dolgih letih?
In odšla je.

Hi ho, everyone, an exciting week has gone by, so we'll report on one of the events which we took in and which was none other than the farewell party last Saturday at Kun-chick's Hall, in honor of a few boys from the neighborhood, who left to join Uncle Sam's boys in the Army. Here's wishing all of you the best of luck, and a speedy return.
A-. Tib'yash taking over asj the great singer of the evening. Say Art, what made you start singing like that?... A boy that really had all the girls! around him was none other than Johnny Budnar. Why, Johnny,: and all this time we thought ^ouj were bashful! ... Girls, notice, j if you want a good jitterbug: partner, dance with Steve Va-I lencic. Do you remember howj good you were, Steve?... Lil-j lian Strazisar being addressed as that "blonde beauty." Boys, j is that what it's going to be! from now on ? . .. Nick Raplo- j novich coming to the party with j two Akron girls. What's the! matter, Nick don't Cleveland; girls agree with you?... Mrs.' Valencic, that "potica" was very! good ... Irene Mack taking over j in the kitchen and doing a very ^ good job of it... Dick Cousins claiming that he would never take a girl to .a party. Now, Dick, is that the impression to have of little helpless females?! ... Violet Vogrin showing ev-eryone a box of aspirins. Vi,; what made you think we'd have.
use for them? . .. After a long!
\
absence from the crowd, Ernie1 Tibyash attended 'the affair; looking better than ever. What was the reason for your long stay-away, Ernie? ... Zarko Va-j lencic taking over ^behind the bar all evening. Where did you learn how to take care of "pop" so well, Zarko ? ... Delia Barbo certainly knew how to handle the male part of the crowd. What's your technique, Delia? ... Vickie Paskualej and Eddie i Budnar having a wonderful time' together, Ed, since you said we: shouldn't mention anything about you, we didn t,' did we ? ... Frank Pieman enjoyed himself by playing the accordion. Where did you take lessons, "Jeff"? ... Joe Barbo turning out to be a very good dancer. Who was the iuck^ girl that taught you, Joe? ... Frank Babudar arrived after 12 o'clock and was in the mood, for a lot of dancing. We bet you'll miss those polkas and waltzes eh, Frank ?... We would like to know where Frank Som-j rak disappeared at midnight. They lived near Euclid didn't they, Frank?... Eddie Oleski trying to tell us he didn't know how to dance. You can't hand us that line, Ed! ... Leo Jalovec showing up with a girl from East 185th St. way. You boys certainly go out of your way to get a girl... John Bratina and Joe Klaus just stayed nue-tral and enjoyed themselves. We would like to inform a few of the boys that we still" clearly remember everything that happened at the party and we'll never forget it.

CHICAGO, ILL—One of the biggest factors in the unusual record established by the United States in protecting the health of the armed forces is the fact that American Camp?, barracks and naval training stations are the finest equipped from the standpoint of plumbing of any camps in any war in the history of the world. There is one shower bath for every 12 men; one lavatory and water closet for every 8 men and laundry tray in every barracks according to the Plumbing and Heating Industries Bureau, While the plumb'fng in army camps in this war sets an unusually high standard, the basic purpose is not to provide luxury for "the men but to protect their health, morale and efficiency. In every war^on which there are records, from the days of Sennacherib onward, the number of deaths from disease .has exceeded many times the losses from killed or wounded in combat. In World War I, for instance, records show "admissions from disease were 14.6 times as numerous as those'for wounds even in France."
1943 Version of Nur-sery Rhymes
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep And don't know where to find them, We gave her a hint where to peep, Meat rationing, the butcher had got 'em.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the
cupboard But not for a bone for "Rags" For like many other loyal dogs He had joined' the WAGS!
Ride a cock-horse to Bambarry Cross, The lady is riding upon a white horse, He's not very pretty, and mighty lean But then he needs no gasoline.
There was an old woman who lived
in a shoe, That's what the housing problem has come to!
Jack Spratt could eat no fat, His wife coujd eat no lean, Meat rationing has changed all that, And now they live on greens!
Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub, Hitler, Musso', and Tojo, Set out to conquer the Seven Seas But instead they are sinking, glub, glub.

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN AND LIVE!
Somewhere in this country at this moment a train is speeding over the rails carry the most precious cargo ever loaded on wheels—American soldier boys. How Hitler would love to wreck that train! Well, he can't do it, but some careless American motorist might. Last year grade crossing accidents 'resulted in derailing hundreds of trains. The Greater Cleveland Safety Council tsays: "Don't help Hitler ! At grade crossings stop, look, listen and live!"
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
When children are 01 d enough to go to school, they learn how to act in case of fire. But many smaller tots are burned, seriously or even fatally, at home. The Greater Cleveland Safety Council suggests that parents teach children from infancy the danger of fire —and keep them out of the kitchen!
War workers! You are not expendable! You and your work are needed for .victory ""■at you and your family need. The Greater Cleveland Safety Council urges' war workers to do all work safely. If you're not absolutely sure of the safe way, ask your foreman. Save manpower for warpower!

UNITED YUGOSLAV RELIEF FUND
Bart Andress, National Fund Director of the United Yugoslav Relief Fund, sponsored by the American Friends of Yugoslavia, Inc., has left New York on a coast-to-coast trip to confer with community leaders and officials of the War Chests in various cities with regard to Yugoslav relief.
The United Yugoslav Relief Fund has been officially designated as one of the participating agencies of the National War Fund, thus taking its place as one of the major United Nations war relief groups in this country. Mr. Andress' trip is made in connection with the announcement from the National War Fund that they will expect each of the participating agencies in the Fund to develop to the fullest possible extent their programs of committee activities and the full interpretation of their programs by the processes of general information and publicity.
Upon his departure from New York, Mr. Andress will visit during the next three weeks: Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Safety Hints
Don't let the fact that there are fewer cars on the streets lull you into a sense of false security. The Greater Cleveland Safety Council points out that 27,800 persons were killed on our highways and streets in 1942, despite mileage rationing and the 35 mile-an-hour speed limit. Every death and injury to an American worker helps Hitler and sabotages our war effort. So drive safely, walk
safely and obey traffic signals.

Here's a brief warning from the Greater Cleveland Safety CouncilDon't carry matches — j the kind that strike anywhere — loose in your pocket. They may be ignited if you fall on them. You may drop them when you take other objects from your pockets. It's best to use safety matches, both for personal usfe and in your home.

"Child Burned to Death!" That headline was printed somewhere in the United States of America on an average of six times a day last year! The Greater Cleveland Safety Council says such deaths can be reduced if you place your stove far enough away from the wall not to be dangerous. And don't overheat the stove, or use kerosene to kindle a fire. America can't afford to burn down any of the homes its boys are fighting for.

Do you make it a habit to put out a match or the fire of a cigarette before tossing it aside? The Greater Cleveland Safety Council asks you to remember that a match in a Boston night club started the nation's greatest home-front disaster in 1942. Save manpower for warpower.
