V OBEH ZBORNICAH zveznega kongresa je bila končno po raznih popravkih in dodatkih sprejeta predloga Rooseveltove administracije, ki določa ogromno vsoto $4,B30,000,000 ali malo manj kot pet tisoč milijonov dolarjev za razna odpomožna dela, ki naj odpravijo depresijo. V administracijskih krogih sodijo, da bo v doglednem ct.su pri teli delih dobilo zaposlitev okrog 3,500,000 delavcev, nadaljnih 8,500,000 pa jih bodo zaposlile razne industrije, ki bodo vsled vladnih projektov dobile večja naročila za svoje izdelke. V enem lelu upa administracija tako zaposliti o-krog sedem »milijonov sedaj brezposelnih delavcev, z liste | brezposelno'tne podpore pa bo odpadlo 14 do 15 milijonov oseb.

AMERIŠKI državniki sodijo, da morda bi bila nova ekonomska in denarna konferenca še najbolj zmožna preprečiti evropsko vojno. Versaillska mirovna pogodba je imela preveč politično in premalo gospodarsko podlago. Mreža carinskih zidov onemogoča mednarodno trgovino in tako gospodarsko upropašča narode. Administracija Zedinjenih držav sicer ne I namerava pod v zeti iniciative I za sklicanje -mednarodne eko-1'nomske konference, ker smatra, ida je situacija mnogo boli nevarna za Evropo, kakor za A-meriko. nedvomno pa bi tako konferenco pozdravila in pri njej sodelovala.

UPTON SINCLAIR, ki je lani kandidiral za governerja Calif orni je na podlagi svojega EPIC načrta, in je dosegel izredno visoko število glasov, da-ni bil izvoljen, namerava svoj načrt popularizirati po vseh Zedinjenih državah. Izdati namerava brošuro z naslovom “Mi, ameriško ljudstvo, in kako smo odpravili siromaštvo.” Glavna zahteva njegovega načrta je produkcija za potrebo in ne za profit.

RAZNI PREROKI, ki skušajo napovedovati izid predsedniških in kongresnih volitev za prihodnje leto, so zadnje čase čisto zmedeni. Veter piha na tri ali štiri različne strani. Pri volitvah v državni senat v Wis-consinu, so zmagali progresiv-ci. V Los Angelesu so pokazali pristaši Uptona Sinclaira veliko moč. V Michiganu so pri raznih volitvah zmagali republikanci. V Chicagu pa je bil z ogromno večino izvoljen za župana demokrat.
PREBUJANJE NARAVE
ZVEZNI SENATOR Royal S. Copeland iz New Yorka se bori za sprejem zakona, ki bi dajal vladi večje nadzorstvo nad živili in medicinskimi izdelki. Njegovi tozadevni predlogi pa so v senatu hoteli prilepiti toliko dodatkov, ki bi onemogočili pravi namen protekcije za ljudstvo, da je Copeland obdolžil senatorje, da so pod skritim vplivom privatnih interesov.
DRZEN ROP na, vlaku, ki je vozil iz Chicaga proti jugu, so v noči 3. aprila izvršili štirje banditi, ki so vstopili kot potniki nekje v okolici Chicaga. Oropali so potnike v štirih vozovih za približno 800 dolarjev. Enega potnika, ki se ni pokoril njihovemu povelju, so obstreldi (Dalje na 4. strani)
POŠTNE ZANIMIVOSTI
Malo je ljudi v tej deželi, ki ne bi prejemali nikakih poštnih pošiljk; ako ne pisem, do-bivamo vsaj časopise. V vseh večjih mestih se poštne pošiljke dostavljajo na domove ali v urade; pošta se razvaža in dostavlja tudi po deželi. Le v prav malih mestecih morajo | prebivalci. hoditi v poštni urad po svojo pošto. Ako bi poštni sistem hipoma odpovedal, bi bila vsa dežela paralizirana, kljub temu, da imamo brzojav, telefon in radio.
Pošta Zedinjenih držav je še primeroma mlada ustanova, saj bo 26. julija t. 1. stara šele ICO let. Leta 1775 je kontinentalni kongres sklenil, da bodi pošta v federalni upravi. Pred tem časom so kolonisti poskušali z različnimi poštnimi sistemi, toda z zelo slabim uspehom. Poštno omrežje je hitro rastlo in leta 1815 je bilo že okrog 2,-500 poštnih uradov in 50,000 milj poštnih cest.
Poštne pristojbine so bile nekdaj znatno višje, kakor so sedaj. Za pismo, poslano iz New Yorka v Philadelphijo je j bilo treba plačati 10 centov, za pošiljatev iz New Yorka v Virginijo pa 25 centov. Pozneje je bilo treba plačati od pisma, ki je bilo poslano do BO milj daleč, šest centov; od 30 do 80 milj, deset centov; do 400 milj, 25 centov. Poštnina se je polagoma zniževala in leta 1855 j c bilo že mogoče poslati navadno pismo kamorkoli po Zedinjenih državah za tri cente.
Dostavljanje pošte na domove ali urade naslovnikov je bilo vpeljano šele leta 1853; prvi poštni nabiralniki ob cestah so bili postavljeni v New Yorku leta 1888. Poštnina se je prvotno plačevala v. g o t o v i n i; znamke so prišle v porabo šeie med leti 1840 in 1850. Registriranje poštnih pošiljk je bilo vpeljano leta 1855 in prvi poštni money ordri so bili izdani leta 1854. Navadne dopisnice so bile vpeljane leta 1873, poštno hranilnični oddelek pa je bil pri ameriški zvez-1 ni pošti vpeljan šele leta 1911.
Danes je v Zedinjenih državah okrog 50,000 poštnih uradov. Dohodki zvezne pošte znašajo okrog 600 milijonov dolarjev letno, izdatki pa okrog 800 milijonov dolarjev. Pred dobrimi 65 leti je vrednost poštnih money ordrov znašala približno milijon dolarjev letno; zdaj se pa pošlje vsako leto okrog 1700 milijonov - dolarjev potom teh poštnih nakaznic. V letu 1850 je bilo izdanih za približno dva milijona dolarjev poštnih znamk; zdaj pa se jih porabi za 10 do 20 bilijonov dolarjev.
Zvezna poštna hranilnica, ki je bila vpeljana leta 1911, se je razvila v velikanski hranilni zavod; ima 2,500,000 vložnikov in okrog tisoč milijonov dolarjev v hranilnih vlogah. Posebno popularna je postala poštna hranilnica tekom velikega finančnega poloma pred dvemi leti, ko je toliko bank propadlo ali bolj ali manj zamrznilo. Poštna hranilnica se je izkazala za absolutno varno hranilno institucijo, kjer ni nihče izgubil niti centa in je vsak vložnik dobil svojo vlogo ali del vloge izplačano, kadarkoli je hotel, tudi v dneh splošne bančne zaprtije.
Nova hranilna ustanova zvezne pošte so takozvani “baby bonds,” ki se prodajajo v poštnih uradih. Nominalna vrednost teh bondov je $25.00, (Dalje na 4. strani)
NE DAJTE SE VARATI!
Piš3 dr. John L Rice, zdravstveni kcrr.isar jinesta New York _
Od pamtiveka i se prvi april smatra kot dan prevaranja. Zbijajo se šale na račun drugih in vsakdo hoče dobrodušno prevarati drugega, da se more smejati na njegov račun. Radi toga pazimo na to, da bi nas kdo ne prevaral prvega aprila, pa vendarle malokdo bo priznal, da smo prevarani skoraj vsak dan leta. Le pomislite, pa recite, kolikokrat ste bili vi sami potegnjeni.
Ako ste vi eden izmed onih, ki mislijo, da same sebe najboljše poznavajo in zato morejo sami igotoviti, kaj jim manjka; ako sledite navodilom in nasvetom katerihsibodi laži-zdravni-kov in šarlatanov ;! ako verujete, da bo ta ali ona medicina stopila nekaj vaše odvečne masti
— tedaj ste se' sami prevarali.
Ako mislite, da vam zadostuje manj ko osem ur spanja •vsak dan; da boste ohranjevali zdravje in moč brez dnevnega uživanja zelenjave, sadja in mleka; da morete dolgo vzdrT zevati brez svežega zraka in sončnih žarkov; da ne potrebujete vsak dan vežbanja in gibanja; da je letni zdravniški pregled nezmisel — tedaj ne le, da vas taki svetovalci varajo, marveč, kar je še hujše, varate same sebe.
Dasi ima vsako človeško bitje iste organe, vendarle je medicinsko in znanstveno dejstvo, da uiti dva človeka na svetu nista ponolnoma enaka. Morda imajo^ vsi isti telesni mehanizem, ampak to ne pomen j a, da imajo vsi srce, jetra ali obisti iste velikosti; to ne pomenja, da njihova pljuča do vsake podrobnosti enako funkcijonirajo, da njihovi želodci, čreva ali mehurji vršijo svojo dolžnost na isti način. Saj je celo ugotovljeno v medicini, da isti lek ne more enako delovati v slični bolezni
— kar je dobro za enega, more biti škodljivo za drugega. Zdravnik predpisuje lek le tedaj, ko je pazljivo proučil vsak posamezni slučaj — in njegov recept mora ne le olajšati bol, marveč mora odgovarjati tudi telesni moči bolnika.
Čuvajte se raznih zagovornikov posebnih hran, lekov in enakih preparatov. Prepustite posel zdravljenja onim, ki ta posel poznajo. Ne zaupajte laži-zdravnikom in patentnim le-kom, ki zdravijo baje vse. Ako ;:e dobro ne počutite, obiščite svojega zdravnika. On vam bo pomagal, in njegovo zdravljenje ne le da bo brez nevarnosti, marveč bo navsezadnje še najbolj poceni.
Ne dajte se varati!
RIBA REŠILA LADJO
“Harbinskoje Vremja” poroča nenavadno dogodivščino, ki jo je doživel kitajski parnik “San Sin” na vožnji iz Šanghaja v Kanton. Ladja je zadela med-potoma ob morsko čer in je do bila luknjo, skozi katero je vdirala voda. Vsi napori posadke da bi luknjo zamašili, so bili zaman.
Naposled pa se je zgodil “ču dež.” Voda se je ustavila sama od sebe in ladje je mogla nada l.jevati vožnjo. V Kantonu so ladjin trup preiskali Jn ugoto vili, da se je v luknjo zagozdila izredno težka riba, ki se je se veda zadušila, a njena smrt prinesla rešitev ladji in vsem ki so se vozili z njo.
April je za večino te dežele mesec prebujene narave. Na, jugu, kjer prave zime ne poznajo in jo odpravijo le z bolj pogostim zimskim deževjem, postane narava aktivnejša že mesec ali dva prej. V severnih državah pa navadno pomlad v aprilu še ni posebno izrazita. V splošnem vzeto oziroma za večino dežele pa se lahko trdi, da je april prvi pravi pomladanski mesec.
Prebujena narava z gorkim pomladanskim vremenom izvabi na prosto vse, kar more gibati. Pomladni zrak in pomladni soloni žarki so pač tako oživljajoči in vabljivi, da se jim ne more ustavljati nobeno živo bitje. Pomladni izprehod v oživljeni naravi ni samo prijeten, ampak tudi zdravju koristen.
V tem letnem času se odpro razna dela na prostem, med temi tudi dela na farmah, v parkih in na domačih hišnih vrti-čih. Izmed naših priseljenih rojakov je primeroma malo far-merjev. To je obžalovanja vredno, kajti večletno depresijo so farmerji, ki niso zadolženi, 'še najlažje prestali, dasi jim tudi ni bilo z rožicami postlano. Delavci v industrijskih središčih ?o bili in so še v splošnem hujše prizadeti. Kakor že omenjeno, med našimi tukajšnjimi rojaki je primeroma malo farmer-jev, toda malo je slovenskih družin, ki ne bi imele vsaj malega vrtiča pri hiši, katero la-stujejo ali jo jmajo v najemu. Slovenci smo otroci narave, ker1 smo bili rojeni po večini na de-eli, zato želimo tudi v industrijskih naselbinah te dežele biti vsaj nekoliko v stiku z živo, zeleno naravo. Pri hišah, kjer bivajo naši rojaki, bomo spomladi in poleti skoro povsod na-Mi nekaj zelenega ali cvetečega; morda nekaj dreves, grmičev, zelenjadni vrt ali cvetlične grede.
Urednik Nove Dobe dobiva večkrat vprašanja, tikajoča se akega domačega vrtnarstva, zato od časa do časa priobči v li-stu nekaj tozadevnih praktičnih nasvetov. Za vse čitatelje seve-la taki nasveti nimajo pomena, toda nekaterim morda le nekoli-o koristijo. K temu je treba še pripomniti, da morejo taki nasveti biti le bolj splošnega pomena; za Californijo so navadno prepozni, za Montano ali Minnesoto prezgodnji. Tudi rastline, ki uspevajo v različnih krajih te velikanske dežele, so različne.
Povprečno vzeto- ali za večino krajev te dežele, kjer so na-eljeni naši rojaki, pa je vsekakor april mesec prebujenja narave ter čas setve in sajenja.
Pri saditvi dreves za senco pri hiši bi morali v prvi vrsti upoštevati drevesa, ki v dotič-nem podnebju najbolje uspevajo. Iglasta drevesa v prerijskih državah, kakor so Illinois, Ohio, Indiana in Kansas, skrajno slabo uspevajo; to velja v splošnem tudi za Pennsylvani-jo. Listnata drevesa niso tako izbirčna, vendar se v nekaterih krajih tudi ta drevesa boljše obnesejo, kakor v drugih. Raznih vrst topoli uspevajo skoro povsod, po mestih in po deželi, toda nekaterih vrst topoli imajo to slabo lastnost, da pošiljajo korenine v odvodne cevi in jih zamašijo. V mestih, kjer je kanalizacija vse križem speljana, taka drevesa niso priporočljiva. Zelo neizbirčno drevo je evka-lipt (eucalyptus), ki raste in us-(Dalje na 4. strani)
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
VSAK PO SVOJE
Ljubljanski dnevnik “Jutro” z dne 15. marca je pod naslovom “Dar ameriških Slovencev mestu Ljubljani” priobči! sledeči članek:
Kakor znano so se Slovenci v Clevelandu, v največji naselbini naših izseljencev v Ameriki, nedavno odločili, da poklonijo svoji metropoli Ljubljani kakšno darilo trajne vrednosti za spomin. Po tehtnem preudarku so sprejeli, da naj bo to darilo umetnina uglednega slovenskega slikarja H. G. Peruška, č.;-gar dela uživajo med ameriškim občinstvom zelo velik sloves, in sc prepustili umetniku, da izbere sam eno izmed svojih slik. H. G. Perušek je nate rojakom svetoval, naj poklonijo Ljubljani eno njegovih najboljših olj, “Simfonije ameriškega zapada," ki živo in umetniško dovršeno simbolizira divjo romantiko za-padne Amerike. Clevelandski Slovenci so izvolili poseben odbor s predsednikom V. J. Grilom, tajnikom Ivanom Jonte-zom in blagajničarko Antonijo Simčičevo, ki je v razmeroma kratkem času zbral vsoto 500 dolarjev, za katero je slikar odstopil sliko, prvotno cenjeno na 800 dolarjev. V pismu s katerim je odbor obvestil Narodno galerijo o svoji akciji, pravijo naši ameriški rojaki med drugim :
“Dnevi ameriške Slovenije so šteti, toda preden bo ameriško
morje pogoltnilo nas otoček, žalimo pokloniti svoji stari domovini majhen spomin, ki naj bo priča, da ameriški Slovenci nismo pozabili svoje rodne domovine, dasi nam ni mogla nuditi eksistence in je bil naš boj za obstanek v tujini izredno težak, temveč da smo vedno mislili nanjo in vzlic temu, da smo bili stalno izpostavljeni tujim vplivom, ostali v bistv*i njeni otroci. Obenem pa naj ta naš dar priča stari domovini, da je eden izmed njenih sinov postal v novem svetu velik in spoštovan umetnik.” — V pismu sporočajo tudi, da se je v času njihove akcije mudil v Clevelandu operni in koncertni pevec Anton Šubelj, ki je bil takoj iz lastne pobude pripravljen, da priredi koncert v ta namen. Koncert se je vršil septembra v dvorani Slovenskega narodnega doma v Clevelandu, katerega vodstvo je dalo dvorano brezplačno na razpolago. Prisostvovalo mu je okrog 700 ljudi in je dosegel zelo lep umetniški in gmotni u-speh.
Slika, ki bo v kratkem razstavljena v zbirki Narodne galerije, nosi na okviru kovinsko ploščico s posvetilom “Dar clevelandskih Slovencev 1934.” Poleg te “Simfonije ameriškega zapada,” ki pomeni kot umetnina in kot poklonitev naših rojakov v tujini svoji metropoli v resnici pomembno, dragoceno o-bogatitev naše vodilne umetniške zbirke, je Narodna galerija prav pred kratkim časom prejela z Dunaja tudi pestro in bogato kolekcijo risb znamenitega goriškega rojaka Franceta Kavčiča (1762 do 1828), ki je napravil pač eno najodličnejših karijer, kar je bilo Slovencev njegove dobe, ter postal direktor c. kr. umetnostne akademije na Dunaju. Število njegovih slikarskih del, ki jih hrani dunajski umetnostni muzej, znaša okrog 2000. Narodna galerija |e zdaj odkupila večjo kolekcijo njegovih laviranih risb in skic.

Prerok Wilbur Glenn Voliva v Zion Cityju, 111., ki trdi, da svet ni okrogel, ampak “fiat,” kar je v finančnem oziru skoro res, je pri zadnjih mestnih volitvah pogorel. Celih 23 let je bil pravi diktator mesta, zdaj pa so bili, razen enega, poraženi vsi njegovi kandidati. To je preroka tako razjezilo, da zdaj prerokuje, da bo vse njegova zmagovite nasprotnike vrag vzel. V tem se prerok Voliva r.e razlikuje dosti od navadnih politikarjev. Skoro povsod poraženi politikarji prerokujejo ali vsaj želijo, da bi njihove nasprotnike vrag vzel.
Pust je minil in prvi april je za nami, toda pri nekaterih se to nič ne pozna: lomijo ga kar naprej.
Grški modrijan Demosten se je iztiril za slovečega govornika s tem, da je vzel nekaj kamenčkov v usta, hodil ob morju in pridigal morskim valovom. Slična vežba bi bila priporočljiva za mnoge govornike v kongresu in na različnih banketih. Kot pest debelega kamenja naj bi si na-llai ili v usta in pridigovali morskim valovom in volkovom. Huev Long bi si pa lahko izbral za poslušalce krokodile v louisianskih močvirjih.

Nemški vojni minister je z o-zirom na varčevanje izdal povelje, da zastave ne smejo presegati gotove velikosti in da je za vsako poslopje dovoljena le po ena zastava. Mož je vsekakor mnenja, da so za izražanje patriotizma kanoni bolj učinkoviti, kakor zastave.

V nekem starokrajskem listu sem .čital, da so imeli lani v Ljubljani nad 4000 raznih prireditev. To ni nič posebnega. Saj prekosimo Ljubljančane sami clevelandski Slovenci, če štejemo k prireditvam tudi piknike in surprise parties.

WHEN THE PEACOCK LOOKS AT HIS FEET
"Sammy!” cried Nurse in that tone she used only when Sammy really deserved to be scolded, “just look at your shoes! Didn’t you see that mud? Land 'sakes! 1 believe you walked in it on purpose! Here, sit down on this bench and let me try to clean some of it off.
1 think you’d be ashamed of yourself the minute you look down at your feet! Mercy me, what a trial you are!”
Sammy and Nurse were taking an afternoon walk in the beautiful grounds of the city’s Zoological Park—as they did almost every bright, sunny afternoon.
Now, if the truth be told, perhaps it was partly Nurse’s fault that the little fellow had stepped off the path and into the muddy road, for she was looking for the handsome Keeper who somehow always happened along that way just about this time every afternoon to pass the time of day w'ith her.
But even at that, Sammy should have know'n better than to walk in the road, especially since he felt so proud and important in his new clothes. Yet, little boys, you know, never can see the necessity of keeping their shoes clean, even though they may be careful about the rest of their apparel. Shoes, somehow, don’t seem to count!
Nurse found an old newspaper and finally succeeded in scraping most of the mud off Sammy’s feet, but anyone
you about why the peacock is as vain as he is and how, all of a sudden, he looks down at his feet, remembers something and instantly his spread-out, fan-like tail droops and closes up and —well, then he ceases to be vain at all! No? Well, now you lean down on this railing so I won’t have to screech my lungs out and I’ll tell you.
“In the beginning—a long, long time ago—way over in India where the peacock comes from, he wasn’t the lordly, strutting, resplendent bird he now is. In fact, he was just a plain, black, fuzzy, rolly-polly-shaped creature, with but a short stub of a tail, big, thick, scaly feet and a round, ugly looking head. Indeed, he was so hideous that all the other birds in the jungle laughed at him and held him up to ridicule.
“Now, the peacock, as you can w'ell I imagine, did not like it at all. He was continually bemoaning the fact that he was not ^beautiful and resplendent in plumage.
“‘Oh!’ he wailed, ‘if I could only be gorgeous and radiant, how I would make all • those other birds feel ashamed of themselves.’
“Over and over again he would repeat that wish. And he thought of it day and night and wept real bird-tears about it.

The Month of Sun and Showers
RAK IN LISICA
(Češka narodna pripovedka)
. J
i
- £5$
Suddenly Mr. Parrot Cried, “Hey, Look at His Feet. Look at His I'eet
Lisica in rak sta imela skupaj njivo.
Ko je prišla pomlad reče lisica raku: “Pojdi, rak, zorji njivo, jaz jo bom pa posejala.” Rak je res zoral celo njivo. Vrnil se je domov in poslal lisico, da bi sejala. Ona je pa začela jadikovati:
“Oh, kakšna nesreča! Sama nisem vedela kaj početi, čebulo sem hotela pojesti, a krompir skuhati. Zunaj je pa zopet pripekalo solnce, zorana njiva se je osušila, ne bi jo mogla prekopati. Veš kaj, dragi rak, pojdi ti, hitro posej in povlači. Jaz bom pa, kadar napoči čas, vse požela.” In rak ti res opravi vse to delo sam.
Nekega dne sta šla na njivo, da vidita, da li je setev že godna. In res vse je dozorelo, treba je bilo požeti. Zelo sta se veselila in dogovorila, da požanjeta.
Jutri greva oba žet, da nama setev ne postane prezrela in žito ne odpade in ga požro vrabci. Drugi dan reče lisica:
“Pojdi, bratec, pojdi pa začni žeti. Samo toliko časa, da pristavim kosilo potem pa pridem takoj za teboj.”
In rak odide sam. Žanje, žanje in se vedno ozira, da vidi kedaj pride lisica.
Toda nje ni od nikoder. Rak je požel že vse žito, povezal ga v snope in zložil na kupe. Utrujen in prepoten se odpravi proti domu.
Na potu sreča lisico. Opremljena s srpom gre na njivo. Ko vidi, da je že vse požeto, reče raku:
“O, bratec rak, ti si pa delavec, da ti ni para! Jaz sem komaj prišla do tega, da po kosilu pogasim žerjavico na ognjišču, ti pa si tačas že vse delo izvršil. Kakšen junak! Lahko bi zvozil žito v skedenj!”
“Kar sama ga zvozi!” reče rak. “Jaz ga ne bom, preveč sem utrujen.”
“Kako pa naj bi jaz to znala?” se začudi lisica. “To ni žensko delo!” Tedaj pridni rak opravi tudi to delo in reče lisici:
“E, zdaj pa morava omlatiti, da nama miši ne pojedo zrna!”
“Kakopak da morava omlatiti, seveda,” reče lisica. “Toda jaz, nesrečnica, ne morem. Včeraj sem ribala klop pa se mi je pri tem zabodla treska v prst. Zato se bojim, da se mi bi rana pri delu poslabšala!”
In tako sem in tje, rak tudi sam omlati. Nato pokliče lisico, da pridelek razdelita. Tedaj pa pravi lisica: “Veš kaj, bratec rak, kako bova najbolje razdelila?”
“Ne vem,_ kako?”
“Teciva za stavo. Kdor prej priteče do skednja, tega bo žito!”
Potrpežljivi rak je s tem zatiovoljen. Gresta na vrh hriba in lisica šteje: “Eden, dva, tri! Naprej!” Zvito se smeje sama pri sebi in misli kako bo spet zagodla raku, da ji bo ostalo vse žito.
Toda rak ni bil neumen. S škarjami sc je oprijel lisičinega repa. Lisica pa, čim je pritekla do skednja, se pri durih veselo obrne in vzklikne:
“Bratec rak, hej, kje pa si?”
Rak se spusti z repa na kup žita in odvrne:
“Tukaj sem, tukaj, sestra Lija! Dolgo te že čakam!”
Tedaj pa teta Lija povesi ušesa, stisne rep med noge in odbrzi v gozd.
A bratu raku ostane ves pridelek. In prav je tako.

PRAVLJICE O LISICI
Menda ni na syetu o nobeni živali toliko pravljic kakor o lisici. In v vseh pravljicah beremo, da je lisica zvita, prebrisana in lokava. Tu vam povem še jaz eno o lisici. Sicer ne trdim, da odgovarja resnici, vendar preberite jo in sami presodite.
Kadar se lisici zazdi, da ima že mno- i go bolh v gostem kožuhu, vzame šop trave v gobec in stopi zadensko počasi v vodo, kjer se potopi. Ker bolhe ne prenesejo vode, zapustijo svoje bivališče kakor podgane potapljajočo se ladjo in iščejo rešitve na kakem suhem kraju, ki ga najdejo naposled na šopu trave. Zdaj spusti lisica hitro travo z gobca in se sama, rešena boljšje nadloge, vrne na suho.—Stric Brundek.

SMRliKA
Na pomlad, ko Bog daruje v izobilju solnca, cvetja in poleti, ko pred solncem v senci iščemo zavetja— smreka je zelena.
Na jesen, ko burja brije, listi vsi orumenjajo in po zimi, ko vse veje gole v mrzli zrak štrlijo smreka je zelena.
Bilo leto, bila zima, vselej smreka je zelena; da nam prav tako bi v sreči, kakor v tugi bila duša z Vesno prepojena!

MARY SANJA O MINNESOTI
Osobje v glavnem uradu JSKJ na Ely, Minn., govori našemu pomladku o bodoči konvenciji mlade generacije. Mladenke in mladeniči čitajo, premišljajo in se čudijo; pogovarjajo se o lepotah zelene Minnesote, posejane s kristalnimi jezeri, kjer zelene breze perejo svoje bele predpasnike, kjer smreke s koničastimi vrhovi silijo pod vedro nebo, kjer valovita minnesotska zemlja čaka prihoda potomcev izseljenega slovenskega naroda v Ameriki.
Tudi mlada Mary je čitala angleško stran Nove Dobe. Ko se je oče vrni) domov, pričelo se je pogovarjanje. Oče, ki je pred večimi leti bival v Minnesoti, mora odgovarjati na vprašanja, ki se tičejo te severne zemlje. Še nikoli ni oče mlade Mary s tako bujno fantazijo pripovedoval dogodke iz severne Minnesote, kot jih je pripovedoval ta večer. Niti na misel mu ni prišlo v prejšnem življenju, da ga bo kdaj njegov lastni otrok povpraševal o deželi, kjer si je služil prvi kruh v tujini. Zato pa pripoveduje s tako vnemo, da je skoro sleherna beseda-^-živa slika one lepe zemlje, kjer so najbolj čudodelne jutranje zarje in najbolj skrivnostni severni siji, ko sikajo ognjeni jeziki
could plainly see that they had been muddied. Then—this time keeping hold of his hand—they continued their walk along the path that led to the out-of-door cages of birds.
And presently the smiling, red-faced Keeper hove in sight, tipped his hat to Nurse and lifted Sammy up on his broad shoulder for a ride. After a while they came to a bench, not far from the enclosure for the peacocks. Nurse and the Keeper sat down and Sammy toddled off to gaze in awe at the lordly birds strutting around behind the wire screen.
“Hello—hello, Sammy!” The voice was piping and thin, yet as gay and jolly as any you ever heard.
Now, Sammy wasn't in the least frightened, for he knew it must be his queer friend, the Jolly Gnome, with whom he held such wonderful talks now and then when he came to the Zoo. So, his eyes sparkling and his face all smiles, he looked around for him first on the railing against which he was leaning, then on the ground, and even on the wire screen; but the Jolly Gnome was nowhere to be se^n, though Sammy could plainly hear him chuckling in high glee.
“Here—here I am, Sammy!” he called presently, “right here on the back of this vain peacock!”
And, sure enough, there he was, his funny, bald head just visible among the gay plumage of the strutting bird.
“Oh-o-o-o,” laughed Sammy. “1 never thought of looking for you there! Good afternoon. I’m very glad to see you.”
“Thank you, Sammy,” replied the Jolly Gnome. And, with that he hopped off the peacock’s back, jumped clear over the wire screen at a single bound and landed on the railing right by Sammy’s elbow.
He was a very queer little man, indeed, no bigger than a minute. His cloak w'as of humming-birds’ wings, trimmed with ermine; and his funny, spindle legs were all encased in fur that looked as though it might have come from a black bear or even a seal. Sammy had seen him many times before, of course, so he was in no wise startled. But he noticed that the Jolly Gnome carried a new hat in his hand.
“Oh, what a beautiful new hat you have, Mr. Gnome,” he said.
“Yes—yes—it is quite pretty, isn’t it?” The Jolly Gnome smiled, but shook his head slowly from side to side. “I suppose it is very vain of me to wear it and very wrong; but I simply couldn’t resist it. See the tiny peaey^k feather standing up in front just to give it color?
“But I don’t know'—I don’t know. It’s not right to be vain about your dress and—and—oh, Sammy, did I ever tell
told me what was troubling him.
“‘But,’ I said to him, ‘don’t you see that your very ugliness is a protection to you? The other birds have to be continually alert to see that their enemies do not catch and kill them, whereas everyone passes you by. Why, Peacock, you can just squat down on the ground and no bird or animal can possibly tell you from a lump of dirt. Really, you #re better off than any of the other birds,.even if you aren’t exactly good to look upon.’
“But the silly creature, Sammy, couldn’t see it that way at alk He wept ahd wept and begged and begged me to do something to make him beautiful. Though 1 knew he was very foolish, I really couldn’t help feeling a little bit sorry for him. So finally I agreed to 'change everything about him, just as | he wished, if he would agree to take the consequences and fight his ow'n battles with his enemies he w'as bound to have once he became conspicuous, lie agreed instantly, j “ ‘First, Mr. Gnome,’ he said, ‘please give me a gorgeous tail of feathers, green and purple and and resplendent |- and make them stick straight up in the air and—and—bigger than the tail of any other bird in the whole jungle.’ “So I waved my magic wand and— behold he had a tail just like the one you see on this peacock before you, i Sammy. And then, one by one, he asked for iridescent, greenish-blue feathers on his body, instead of the ! fuzz he had there, and for a small iliead with that pretty top-not like all 'peacocks now have and—well, just ] then he happened to catch sight of himself in a stream and hopped about | for joy and puffed out his chest and arched his long neck. Oh, Sammy, he I was so vain and proud of himself! i “‘Now, Mr. Gnome,’ he said, ‘give me a voice different from that of any j other bird, so I can call out and every-| one will simply have to look to see i where it comes from, and then they 'will all see what a beautiful creature 1 am.’
! “I looked at him a moment, Sammy, jin pity; but I had promised to give him what he asked for, so I waved my wand j again and he straightway had that 1 same peculiar cry that peacocks today j have:	Then, with his tail all spread
lout like a fan and his vain head held high in the air, he strutted off, so proud of himself that he even forgot to thank me.
“lie had gone but a short distance, when he met Mr. Parrot.
|	“‘O, e— ho!’ cried the parrot, ‘look
who’s here! Why, it’s that old ugly peacock that— ’ And Mr. Parrot chortled .and laughed and cried out for all the |other birds to come and see. They came—flying and running.
PTIČJI RAJ
Svetilnik na Bilsandu v Baltskem j morju je spadal nekdaj pod Rusijo. Bilsand je majhen otok v Estoniji.
Ta otok je neprestano izpostavljen t viharjem in visokim morskim valovom. | n Na otoku živi okoli dve sto ljudi. Ču-j d vaj svetilnika je Toom.	,	5
Tiste čase, ki tu o njih pripoveduje- ' t mo, je bil Toom čvrst mlad mož, med :' tem ko je danes že ves onemogel od ■ < starosti. V bližini Bilsanda je še šest < majhnih otokov. Na teh otokih so pasli ‘ prebivalci Bilsanda svoje ovce, in Toom < je ogorčen gledal, kako so pastirji izti- | kali za ptičjimi gnezdi, pobijali ptice j i in kradli ptičja jajca. Toom se je zbal, i da ne bi sčasoma ptice tod izumrle, in ' začel varčevati, da nikoli tega. Vsako i kopejko je dal na stran, opustil je ka- [ i jenje in pitje žganja ih si prihranil v nekaj letih toliko denarja, da je vzel vseh šest otokov v najem.
Zdaj je bil gospodar otokov in je strogo prepovedal vsem prebivalcem, da ne smejo loviti in pobijati ptic, niti ne razdirati njihovih gnezd in jim ropati jajec. In res so se ptice kmalu tako razmnožile, da je bil Toom presrečen. O^oki so postali pravi raj za ptice.
Po vojni je prišel Bilsand pod estonsko republiko, a Toom je še naprej ostal čuvaj svetilnika, še zmeraj skrbi za ptice. Zgradil jim je krmilne hišice, ki jih je moral že dograditi v tri nad-; j strop j a, ker drugače ptice ne bi imele j prostora.
Estonska vlada se mu je oddolžila na ta način, da je dala otoke pod nadzorstvo vseučilišča v Dorpatu, ki se ukvarja s študijem ptic.

ENA RIBNIŠKA
Ribniški Jurek pride v mesto po opravilih. Zamudi se čez opoldan in začne mu kruliti v želodcu. Da si uteši glad, stopi k peku in kupi hlebček kruha. Ko ga použije, se mu zdi, da je še boli lačen in takoj kupi in poje drugega, nato tretjega in tako nadalje. Šele, ko spravi “pod streho” sedem hlebčkov, pravi peku, da ima dovolj.
“Torej sedmi hleb te je vendar nasitil,” se mu smeje pek.
Ji\rek zre trenutek v peka. Nato se razhudi:
“Mojster, goljufali ste me! Pravite, aa me je nasitil sedmi hleb. To ste gotovo vedeli že vnaprej, saj dobro poznate svoj kruh. Zakaj mi torej tiiste ta sedmi hlebček ponudili najprej?! Jaz bi se‘bil z njim nasitil in bi si tako prihranil denar za onih šest hlebčkov, ki sem jih pojedel brez potrebe!”
Pek se mu reži še glasneje, Jurek pa trdo vrže na mizo denar, požuga s pestjo in zavpije jezno:
“K vam pa že nikoli več!”

“Peacock strutted around before them, as proud as—wrell, as proud as a peacock! And every now and then he gave his shrill cry and glanced at them haughtily.
“Suddenly Mr. Parrot cried, ‘Hey, look at his feet! Look at his f^et—: they’re the same old ugly feet! Hah! Hah!’
“The assembled birds looked and instantly set up such a howl of derision as was never before heard in that jungle.
“Peacock stopped in the midst of his lordly stride and looked down. Yes, there they were—the same ugly, scaly, hideous old feet he had had before! He had forgotten to ask for new ones! His tail drooped and folded up until all the pretty ocelli, or eye-like spots were hidden; his proud neck lost its haughty arch and he cried—real peacock tears! He was so ashamed and so taken back! And, goodness, how the other birds did make iun of him!
“And to this day, Sammy, whenever a peacocK looks down at his feet his tail closes up and he looks all wilted and humble. Watch—the peacock within the enclosure is looking down now—and his—”
“Sammy! You, Sammy! Get up off that damp ground right away!” It wasn’t the voice of the Jolly Gnome, either. It was Nurse, and she was coming a-running toward him.
“Mercy sakes!” she crieid as she grabbed him by the arm and jerked him to his feet. “Can’t I take my eyes off you a minute but what you flop! down and go to sleep!”
“Mr. Gnome—was it—do peacocks ever get- their shoes muddy—?” mumbled Sammy as he rubbed his eyes and tried to remember where he was.
“Land's sake!” exclaimed Nurse. “What in the world are you talking about—peacocks getting their shoes: muddy! Goodness, you not only go to sleep, but you dream, too- and right out of doors on the damp ground! Here, come on, and stop looking down at your shoes. They’re muddy and-and—I hope you’re ashamed of how they look!”

April is a month with a varied his- j tory. When we first heard of the month there were allotted to it thirity days; and was the second month of the year. Later it W'as placed fourth on the list of months and one of its days was taken aw'ay from it. In the days of Julius Caesar the original number of days was restored and ever since April has occupied the fourth place on the calendar it has been marked by thirty days. The name of the month is derived from the Latin word “ape-rire,” whjch means “to open,” and a very appropriate name it is, too, for in April all the buds and blossoms begin to open. The old Anglo-Saxons 1 called this month Oster-monath because of the strong east wind which always blew at this season.
As with all the other months there are many superstitions connected with April. It is thought by some that if I you are born between the first and the nineteenth of the month you will think deeply and be interested in all things that will make you refined and cultured and well educated, you will be very much alive and interested in many thing and all people will like you and you will have a great love for beautiful things and wish always to be surrounded by luxuries. You will try to 1 have your own way in all things and I you will be very fond of music. In addition to all these traits, should your birthday fall between the nineteenth and the thirtieth of the month, you will be interested in literature and sciences, ycu will be kind-hearted, and you will do things quickly and not stop to think about their consequences until after they are done; you may be stubborn and strong-willed and you are apt to either like or dislike things* very intensely without having any halfway feelings. You will have good judgment and people will come to you for advice.
If you are an April child be sure to wear your birthstone — the diamond. Here is a verse that tells you why:
She who from April dates her years Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears For vain repentence flow. This stone Amblem of innocence is known.
The April flower is the Daisy which is said to denote innocence. By some the diamond is thought’to stand for
purity and it is said to preserve peace and tranquility.	■
Many poets have written beautiful verses about this lovely month of sun and showers, but perhaps the best known and most proven couplet is
Sweet April showers Do bring May flowers.
We all know that it is so, and for that reason April is heralded each year with new joy.

MILO ZA DRAGO
Potujoči trgovec je naletel na cigana, ki je kupčeval '■ osli- Na sladke ciganove ponudbe izbere trgovec enega močnega sivca, ponudi zanj stari srebrni goldinar in cigan je zadovoljen. Nato pravi trgovec:
“Danes ne morem vzeti živinče s seboj. Pripelji m* 82 jutri do tu in tu! Jaz ti pridem naproti in tedaj dobiš tudi goldinar!”
Drugi dan prižene cigan osla na dogovorjeno mesto. Trgovec, ki je že čakal nanj, opazi na prvi pogled, da ga hoče cigan opehariti. Prignani sivec je bil namreč mnogo manjši od onega, za katerega se je prejšnji dan dogovoril s cigančetom.
“Ampak, cigan,” zavpije trgovec, “ta osel ni pravi! Priženi mi onega, ki sem ga izbral včeraj!’’
“Boga mi gospodine,” se zvija in zavija svoje črne oči cigan, “osel je pravi! Nataknite si očala in vse bo v redu!”
“A tako,” pravi na videz mirno trgovec in okobali osla. Nato odpre denarnico in vrže ciganu dvajsetico.
“Boga mi, gospodine,” zakriči cigan, “ta denar ni pravi! To je premalo!” “Nataknite očala, pa bo v redu,” zakliče trgovec in udari po sivcu, ki urno odpeketa s svojim novim gospodarjem.

DEAR EDITOR:
I have been reading the stories in the Nova Doba for several months, so I finally decided to write one for the first time. The following story that I am submitting is a true story.
AN EXCITING TRIP
It was summer time and my scoutmaster said it was time for our yearly outing. He asked us if we would like to go to a lumberjack’s camp near Fort Town Lake. -We were all in favor of going, so about two days later we left for this camp.
When we came to a small place called Winton, we stopped by the railroad tracks because a speeder would take us the rest of the way. This was my first ride on a speeder. I didn’t enjoy it very much because there was tall grass on the tracks and it was very wet, for it had rained that night. They also hadn’t been used for several years. The trip was at least ten to fifteen miles long. When we got there we were introduced to the caretaker of the camps. The caretaker wasn’t very lonesome out there because he had a telephone and a cat.
After we. stayed there a few days we decided to go to Fort Town Lake. Aftert walking a few miles we came to the lake. We had to go across this lake to go to the place where we wanted to camp for the day. We took a large boat which could hold ten to fifteen boys.
When we got out in the middle of the lake the boys began to get noisy. The boat got full of water and then the patches opened on the boat. The boys took cans and began to take the water out. We began to paddle as fast as we could, and, oh, was I glad when we reached shore. When we got off the boat we made a fire and dried ourselves. We had dinner and after that we played several games. Night was drawing near and it was time to go back to our camp. I certainly didn’t go on the boat this time—I made my way back through the woods.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I am 12 years old and in the seventh grade. I will be 13 April 7, 1935. I belong to Lodge No. 25, SSCU, since I was 2 years old.
I enjoy reading the letters and stories very much. They are so interesting. I am sending this story. I hope you will like it.
EXPLORING IN THE ATTIC
It was a very hot day in July. I was sitting on the porch with my brother. He was reading a story about pirates to me. When he was through, I said that I wasn’t afraid of anything. He said that he was going to the drug store to get a soda. I was left alone on trie porch. I didn’t know what to do and suddenly a thought came into my head. I ran upstairs to the attic. It was as hot as a furnace up there, but I didn’t mind that. I opened a trunk and took out my grandmother’s clothes of 1890. I tried them on and I looked very funny.
I ran downstairs and called up my girl friends, Nancy, Peggy and Mary Ann. When they were all there, I told them that we were going to have a play. I put on an old dress and powdered my hair. I was an old lady. An imaginary mouse was supposed to come out and I had to jump. When that part came a real mouse came out. We all saw it at the same time. We were screaming and running for our
lives. I had on such a long dress that it made me fall down.
When I got to the bottom the powder was smeared all over my face. I looked for the girls, but 1 didn’t see any of them. 1 was so frightened that I thought the mouse had eaten them all. I heard someone coming down the stairs. It was my brother laughing very hard. I asked him what was so funny. He said that the mouse was 1 false one, that he pushed it out into the room.
Now he always teases me and it is known by everyone. I never brag how brave 1 am anymore.

DEAR EDITOR:
I am a regular reader of 'the Nova Doba and a member of Lodge No. 159, SSCU, of Cornwall, Pa. I find it very interesting to write about the food show that I saw recently in our city. The most interesting display being the mechanical man.
Robots will affect our future civilization both mentally and physically, but more so physically. In the robot era, robots will do all of present man’s work, and future man will have entirely different work, which, no doubt, will be his hobbies.
Dr. Harry May of London University has perfected a talking robot which he named Alpha. It took 18 years and $117,000 to make this robot. The robot can sit down, stand up, reply to various questions, etc. He can also fire a revolver. Alpha once sent Dr. May’s assistant to the hospital with a bullet wound.
Robots will be tireless, invulnerable, immune to gas, germs and fits or temper. Some robots, which have already been invented, have been taught to answer telephone, open doors, to admit people, answer questions, and do other helpful mechanical tasks. They are put into motion by remote control, usually through photoelectric reaction or by certain sounds made by the human voice, a telephone bell, etc., according to their internal construction. At present the photoelectric ceil is being used at Pennsylvania starion in New York City. The doors between the gates and the waiting room open automatically upon the approach of a person. However, these present invented robots are just a sample of what the robots will be, and can do, in the future.
The robot era will come just as sure as television will be perfected ,n about four years.

LORAIN, O. DEAR EDITOR:
Spring is here, so enjoy it now while it is here. The weather in Lorain is very changeable, so I cannot say it is very nice. Some days are warm and others are dreary and cold. The dust clouds are terrible. A woman has to wash her porch every second day to keep it clean.
I attend Whittier Junior High School and I am now i,n the 9-A. We have gym twice a week. Our gym teacher has chosen a volley ball team of 9-A girls and one of IO-B girls. We lost the first game we played with them. The next time we play we will try to win. To try is better than to lose and not try at all.
We also have an assembly once a week 011 Wednesdays, during our last period, from 3 to 3:45 o’clock. Our home-room already participated for the assembly. W,e enacted part of the play "Evangeline” and a part of “The Court-hip of Miles Standish.” There were also selections of poems written by Longfellow.
Many children were sent home during the past few weeks because of disease and sickness. I’m glad that I haven’t been sent home so far. But I better not say thanks too soon because it is still possible that I get sick and sent home, too.
I have seen, these past few months, quite a few boys and girls from Lorain take interest in writing to the Nova Doba. In fact, boys and girls from all over are doing what the children in Lorain are doing. I wish they would keep it up. I had better scold myself, too, because I didn’t write for two months. Come on, boys and girls, get started and write!
The editor will be glad to accept your articles even if they are short. First write a short one, then write a long one. Happy Easter to you, editor, and also to all the members of our SSCU. Vesele velikonočne praznike!

THE PRESIDENT
Lorain, O.—-Thinking of what I could write, I thought of writing about each person of the Supreme Board. I remember something about such as: where and how I met the officer.
The president—no, not Franklin D. Roosevelt, but Paul Bartel, president of our SSCU.
I met the head of our Union at our home, where he stayed when our lodge held a banquet celebrating its 30th anniversary.
He has dark-black hair, pleasant features and is a short, jolly fellow. He isn’t bashful (at least when I saw him). Mr. Bartel likes to sing, I must say, for he sang a few songs at our home, accompanied by Louis Kolar at the piano.
One interesting incident occurred while he was at our home. I will relate it. Maybe he’ll blush now, but I hope nobody sees him blushing. Well,
as the story should go, Mr. Bartel wanted to shave. He had never used a safety razor before. Dad told him that a safety razor was better than a straight razor. So he tried it, and when he came out of the bathroom his face was cut up a little. (Can you guess why?) Mr. Bartel didn’t like the new razor. I wonder if he tried to use it any other time after that accident? Well, accidents do happen, though, don’t they?
Wishing everyone a happy Easter.

DEAR EDITOR:
My first wish is to thank you for the one-dollar check I received as a reward for writing an article in the Nova Doba.
Spring is here. The grass is getting green, the flowers are beginning to •show their heads, and best of all, our peach tree will soon be blossoming. It seems just like a new world. Everyone is getting their gardens ready for sowing and all kinds of sounds are heard.
April is the month of showers. One of our happiest holidays in this month will soon be here with greetings from everyone. Can you guess what it is? Easter! The little ones are rejoicing because they expect the bunny to bring them an Easter basket. I wish the Easter bunny would bring our SSCU a basket full of new juveniles. If he does everyone will be happy, especially the new arrivals.
I wish my brother and sister juveniles of our SSCU the happiest Easter imaginable.
To remind the juveniles of their dear mothers who put them in our SSCU,
I am sending in a poem entitled “Mother.”
MOTHER
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky, Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by, Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover, Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over,

A SAD VACATION
Last summer after school, was out I was playing baseball with a group of boys at a place called Green Valley. I was just going to make a point for our side when the catcher tripped me and I fell on a sharp rock.
I tried to get up and walk, but I couldn’t, so the b'oys found an old spring from a bed and carrieid me home on it. My mother had just been ironing clothes and she saw me standing by the gilte with all the boys around me. She came out and asked me what was wrong, so I told her that I hit my leg on a sharp rock and that I couldn’t walk.
She opened the door and told the boys to bring me into the house immediately. My leg was all swollen already so 1 put a wet towel on it, but that didn’t seem to help. I had to go to the hospital that night. The doctor took an X-ray of my leg and told me that the bone had been cracked almost all the way around.
He put my leg in a cast and I had to keep the cast on for six weeks. The doctor took off the cast about five days before school started, so I had to go to school with crutches for one month.
I had a hard time getting up the stairs in the old high school. I’ll tell you, it isn’t any fun having a broken leg and I hope I never break my leg again.

DEAR EDITOR:
Well, I’m writing again. The first time I ever saw Joe Zummer write an article for the Nova Doba I was surprised. No one expected him to write an article with such big words. He is a member of the Pathfinders Lodge, No. 222, and he always tries to work hard for the lodge.
My sister, Jennie, was hit by an automobile on March 13, 1935. She had a broken bone in her shoulder, but she is feeling better now. Since Easter scon will be here, I am writing an Easter story.
EASTER BUNNY
Once upon a time there was a woman and five children who were very poor. Her son worked for only three dollars a week, and that was not very much. Easter was coming soon and there were many nice things in the store windows.
There were four girls and one boy in this family.
Ann said, “Easter is not far away and the rich girls and boys will get pretty things and we won’t even get anything.”
Then Bob said, “The rich boy thinks he is smart because he will have nice things for Easter.”
Then Nellie stepped into the room where Bob and Ann were talking about Easter and said, “What is the matter with you, Ann and Bob? Is something wrong?”
Then Ann told Nellie all about it.
It was the day before Easter and the rich boys and girls were very ex-
cited. But Bob, Ann and Edith were iiot happy at all. Pretty soon there was a knock at the door. It was an egg man from the country. Mrs. Brown went to the door.
He said, “Want to buy some fresh white eggs?”
But Mr. Brown answered, “I’m very poor and cannot buy any eggs.”
“They are very cheap. Only twenty cents a dozen,” the egg man said.
“I know that,” said Mrs. Brown, “but we are very poor.”
Then the egg man gave her sixteen white fresh eggs in a nice Easter basket. Mrs. Brown thanked him very much and put the eggs on the table. The children had an old box that they put on the table next to the eggs.
It was about 10 o’clock and they all went to bed.	i
The next morning the children woke up and went downstairs into the kitchen, where they saw to their surprise six Easter baskets on the table. In each basket there was a large chocolate egg that contained money. The baskets were also filled with chocolate chickens and rabbits. There were about, five dozen colored eggs in a box that had a big ribbon on it.
The rich boys and girls could .not have been happier than this family was on Easter Day.

GREEN RIVER, WYO. DEAR EDITOR:
I have enjoyed reading stories and poems in the Nova Doba that the boys and girls wrote. I decided to write a story, too.
THE BIRDHOUSE
When I was 7 years old I always loved the birds, so one day I made them a birdhouse and put it up in our tree. Three weeks later two bluebirds came and looked it over and I guess they thought it would do, so they stayed.
They soon had young ones and every morning in summer we heard their beautiful songs of cheer. Our new neighbor came over and threw the birdhouse out of the tree. The bluebirds looked sadly at the house, but they were thankful for their good home while it lasted.
Best regards to all juvenile readers.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I go to Rockdale school and am in the sixth A. My teacher’s name is Miss Kintz. Here is the story I’m sending:
TOM AND JERRY
Tom and Jerry were twins. Wherever you would see one you would be sure to see the other. One day they went fishing in a nearby pond. Tom, who was less cautious, sat on the edge of the	bank. Just	then	he got	a bite.
As he	tried to pull	it in,	he was	thrown
into the pond. Jerry tried to save him, but it was too late. Tom already had met death.
Jerry refused to play with his playmates. Instead .he would go to the spot where they fished on that fatal day. This consoled him and made him remember the nice times they had had together.
0ne	day after	he failed to	return
home	a search	was	started.	They
found him at the bottom of the pond. He jumped into it exactly ten years after his brother was drowned. The parents were grief-stricken and moved away from the city that had so many memories of their-sons.

I have again decided to write to the Nova Doba. When I saw my first letter in the juvenile section, I was very happy. I am sure if the Nova Doba would not be sent to our house I would miss it very much. I am interested in the stories written by the members, so I decided to write one.
THE REWARD OF HONESTY Once a little girl was sent to the store by her mother and on her way lost her money. She could not find it, so she started to cry. A man who saw her crying came up to her and asked, “What is the matter?”
She answered, “I was supposed to go to the store, but I lost my money.” Then the man asked, “How much did you have?”
“Fifty cents,” she replied.
The man gave her 50 cents and told her to get whatever she had to get. She took the money. A little while later she came running after the man. When she reached him she said, “Here is your money, I found mine.”
“Keep it,” replied the man, “because you are so honest.”
“Thank you,” she said happily and ran home. She told her mother all about it and that the man was very kind.

MY WEEK-ENDS
My brother and 1 went to visit some people who live seven miles from our home. They live up in the hills. They have a boy and a girl our ages.
We have lots of fun trying to find Indian heads and yucca plants. One Sunday we were walking along talking and laughing when we heard a noise. We all were startled. What do you suppose it was? There stood a deer and a young fawn. They stood and looked at us for a few minutes and then ran away. We were so surprised that we ran home and told our mothers of the incident. None of us had ever seen a deer so close.

Zopet se ogldšam z malim dopisom. Me zelo veseli, da je glavni odbor bil podobnih misli glede kampanje mladinskega oddelka, kakor sem bila jaz. Zelo sem bila vesela izvedeti, da se je mladinskim članom dalo tako lepo priliko za agitacijo. Upam, da se bo med mladinskimi člani razvila velika tekma za priliko videti Minnesoto.
Zdaj pa se nekaj iz Pittsburgha. Dne 31. marca je priredil dramski odsek pevskega društva “Prešeren” zanimivo predstavo “Divji lovec,” katere sem se z mojimi starši tudi jaz udeležila. To je bilo nekaj lepega za stare in mlade. To poročam zato, ker so bili večinoma vsi igralci člani JSKJ. Predstava je bila dobro obiskana. Igralci so svoje vloge dobro izvršili, kolikor morem jaz soditi. Meni sta se najbolj dopadla Majda in vaški berač Tonček.
Sedaj pa se moram zahvaliti za nagrado, podeljeno mi meseca februarja. Zelo sem je bila vesela, in še enkrat se lepo zahvalim. K sklepu voščim vsem bratcem in sestricam v mladinskem oddelku JSKJ vesele velikonočne praznike in mnogo lepih pirhov in zajčkov. Tudi vam, g. urednik, voščim mnogo lepih pirhov!

DEAR EDITOR:
1 noticed how many children have written stories, so I am submitting mine.
A TENSE SITUATION
Pop bottles, papers, hats and everything imaginable was flying through the air, for Kelly, Harvard second baseman, had just singled, filling the bases and with the mighty Casey next at bat.
Just a second before Harvard fans had given up hope of defeating their traditional rival, Yal<;. But now with the score 5 to 2, last half of the ninth, two men out, the Harvard rooters had a new life. Their home run king was at bat with three men on bases—a homer would win the game.
Casey steps up to the plate with confidence all over his face. He had already gotten two out of three hits off Benton, the Yale pitcher. Benton winds up and lets loose. Ball one! The crowd cheers. Benton winds up again.
“Strike one!” shouts the umpire. The crowd boos lustily.
Benton is nervous, Casey is waiting to murder the ball. Benton throws again. Ball two! The crowd cheers wildly. Benton slowly winds up and throws the ball.
“Ball three!” shouts the umpire. The crowd really is in a panic now. Casey is all confidence. Benton’s teammates gather round him. He says that he’s okay. Benton winds up again, it’s coming Tight over the pan. Casey swings, it looks as if it’s going over the wall. It is over, the crowd goes crazy, but wait, the umpire is motioning the players back, the ball was foul.
That makes the count on Casey three balls and two strikes. Benton, the pitcher, is very nervous. He gets into the box and throws the ball with everything he has left. Casey swings—he misses. The game is over. The mighty Casey had struck out.
Signing off.

In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I	have	to	go	to bed	by day.
I	have	to	go	to bed	and see
The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people’s feet Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed bv day?

DEAR EDITOR:
This is the first time I have taken advantage of the great opportunity offered by the Nova Doba to all juvenile members of the SSCU. As this is my first letter I shall attempt to explain to you a little about the school which I attend.
I am a freshman of the Trinidad High School, which offers many great opportunities to its students. In this school we have six periods a day, the third of which is the longest. We have a large auditorium in which .we have a regular assembly every Friday.
The auditorium is divided into four sections and each class is assigned one section. A visitor coming into the auditorium during assembly can easily distinguish between the four classes. The first section is given to the freshman class and the fourth section at the back of the auditorium is given to the seniors.
We have had five Midwest Assemblies, the last of which was given last week. Everyone enjoys these very much.
The first period classes are known as the Home Rooms. A regular meeting is held three times a week. The officers are elected from the classes. At these meetings business is transacted and programs given by members of the class. The most important body of this organization is the Student Council, which is composed of representatives from each Home Room.
The object of this council is to give all students the privilege of greater social opportunities. This group also has čharge of school activities which have shown great improvement since its organization.
We have football teams and basketball teams. More enthusiasm is shown during the football season than during the basketball season. A debating team was organized this year and appears promising as another school activity.
In the future I hope to read more about other schools.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I will tell about our first juvenile meeting which we held on March 17. We elected the following: John Yanko, president; Anna Yanko, secretary, and Anna Kuznik, treasurer. We have decided to hold our meetings on the first Sunday of every month, beginning with April 7, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon at Frank Kuznik’s farm.
After the meeting a lunch was served. Several games were played and prizes given. To start up our treasury we sold pop. We give thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Kovacic for helping us get a start and for their future help. All members are invited to come to our juvenile meetings.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I always read the juvenile section and I thought that I would like to write a few lines.
I am 11 years old and 1 am in the sixth grade. I, my four brothers and my father and mother all belong to St. Stephen’s Lodge, No. 26, SSCU.
Our Union has a campaign for juvenile members. There will soon be a juvenile convention in beautiful Minnesota.
Hurray! Boys and girls, who is going to get the most new members? Best regards to all young members.

DEAR EDITOR:
Well, spring is here and the flowers in our garden are beginning to bloom. The birds are coming back from the South. It is good to see the flowers and birds again.
Now 1 will change the subject and tell you about the Girl Scouts party which was held not so long ago. My girl friend, y'ho is a Girl Scout, invited me to go with her. I w'ent and enjoyed (he time which was spent playing games. I won first prize in bunco. After we played games, refreshments v'ere served.
The time will soon come when the SSCU juvenile convention will take place. I will not attend the convention,

Sedanja moda obritih ali kratko pristriženih mustač ima vsekakor nekatere dobre strani. O tem se je prepričal farmer Peter Doelger v državi Massachusetts, kateremu se je pri cepljenju drv toporišče sekire zamotalo v njegove dolge mustače; posledica je bila rana v nogi. Prva postaja farmer ja je bila nato pri doktorju, druga pa pri brivcu.
Znanstveno ime za rudarsko naduho je pneumonoultrainis-crescopicsilicovoicanok oniosia. Kdor more to ime gladko izgo-vediti, nima naduhe.
Prijatelj in bivši pleharski kolega Matija Pogorelc mi je iz Lunine doline v Californiji poslal na razglednici nekaj cali-fornijskih pomladanskih lepot. Prijazna rojakinja v Clevelandu mi je poslala te dni v uredništvo velik šop cvetočega zlatega dežja. Neka neznana rojakinja pa mi je iz Pennsylvanije poslala zavitek rumeno cvetočih mačic. Prav lepa pomladanska hvala ysem!

NEMŠKA agresivnost vedno bolj vznemirja Evropo. Ofici-jelna Nemčija zdaj odkrito izjavlja, da hoče dobiti nazaj mesto Gdansk (Danzig), ki je bilo od zaključka svetovne vojne naprej v upravi Lige narodov. Dalje se .je začelo glasno govoriti o združenju Avstrije z j Nemčijo.
V Gdanskem so se preteklo nedeljo vršile volitve, pri katerih so Hitlerjevci upali dobiti dvotretjinsko večino zastopnikov, kar pa se jim kljub silni propagandi ni posrečilo. Na- j predovali so za tri sedeže in imajo navadno večino, toda ne dvotretjinske. Oficijelni nemški krogi so vsled tega zelo raz- j očarani.

prebujenje narave
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) peva tudi v največjem dimu in prahu, na najslabši zemlji, poleg tega ga pa tudi mrčesi ne napadajo. V Clevelandu in sploh v vsem severnem delu države Ohio uspevajo dobro platane ali* sikamore, katalpe in javori, mestoma tudi lipe. V Illinoisu ni videti javorov, pač pa mnogo katalp. Lipe uspevajo v večini držav srednjega zapada; dobiti jih je celo v Minnesoti.
Med priporočljive lepotične grmiče spadajo: španski bezeg (lilac), jazmin (jasmine), snežinke (snowball), zlati dež (for-sytia), deitzia, weigela, spiraea in althea. S temi grmiči ni dosti opravka in uspevajo skoro povsod. Med priporočljive večletne rastline plezalke spadajo srobot (clematis), glicinija (wisteria) in volčja dreta (honey suckle). Najbolj znane enolel ne rastline plezalke, ki uspevajo povsod in brez posebnega negovanja, so divje kumare (wild cucumbers) in slak (morning glory).
Izmed večletnih cvetlic, ki uspevajo tudi na primeroma senčnih prostorih, so priporočljive: orlica (columbine), krvaveči srčki (dicentra), funkija (day lily), perunika (iris), potočnica (forget-me-not) in š m a r n i ca (lily of the valley).
Med enoletne cvetlice, ki se seveda ne branijo sončnih prostorov, uspevajo pa prilično dobro tudi v senci, prištevamo: kalendulo (calendula), kozmos (cosmos), turške naglje (marigold), resedo (mignonette), vrtni tobak (nicotiana affinis) in kapucinarje (nasturtiums).
Druge enoletno cvetlice, katere je primeroma lahko gojiti, so: zajčki (snapdragon), balza-
mine (balsam), aistre (aster), californijski mak (California poppy), slamnate rože (helich-risum), lobelia, ostrožnik (larkspur), petunia, p 1 a m e n k a (phlox), mak (poppy), nevestica (mourning bride), sanvita-lia, salvia, sladki grah (sweet peas), sončna roža (sunflower), verbena in zinnia. Portulaka (portulaca) je zelo priporočljiva nizka cvetka za zelo suho, sončno in plitvo gredico. Enoletna rastlina z velikim, lepim, tropskim listjem, ki zraste več čevljev visoka, je klošček (rici-nus). Vse navedene enoletne cvetlice je navadno mogoče posejati na prosto že v aprilu.
Za kuhinjski vrt so, poleg neizogibnega peteržilja in korenčka, priporočljive še sledeče di-šavne rastline: janež (anise),i prežilka (sweet basil), žafran (saffron), majron (sweet marjoram), timijan (thyme), pelin (wormwood) in pehtran (tarragon).
Lepe vejčletne cvetlice poleg1 onih, ki so bile navedene za senčne prostore, so še: anemone, kampanule (campanula), marjetice (Shasta daisy), večletni ostrožnik (delphinium), večletna plamenka (phlox), potonke (peonia), kitajski naglji (diant-hus), naprstec (digitalis), večletni mak (perenial poppies) in popelni (hollyhocks). Te cvetlice ljubijo sončne prostore.
Vrtnarji seveda gojijo še tisoče drugih vrst cvetlic, toda mnoge istih zahtevajo posebno nego. Gori navedene so v splošnem take, ki jih je mogoče uspešno vzgajati brez posebnega truda in priprav.

ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strp.ni)
Pomladna aktivnost i
Vse, kar je živega v naravi, se iz zimske dremavosti pre- ! bilja k novi aktivnosti. Kar ne pokaže znakov življenja zdaj, je najbrž zaspalo za vedno. Drevesa in grmičje kažejo z . nabreklim ali razvijajočem se popjem novo življenjsko aktiv- ) nost. Razne male rastline že razvijajo poganjke, listje in ; nekatere celo cvetje. Ptiči iščejo pripravnih mest za svoja gnezda, drobni žužki in razni drugi mrčesi se na svoj način pripravljajo za aktivnosti prihodnjih mesecev.
Partnerji, sadjarji in vinogradniki čistijo in obrezujejo • koristne rastline suhih in nepotrebnih vej, odstranjajo tekom zime umrle rastline in jih nadomeščajo z novimi. Zimske sile so morda poškodovale poslopja, plotove, pota, ceste in mostove in vse to je treba na pomlad popraviti. Tisočeri opravki se ponujajo vsem živim bitjem v naravi. Najboljše bodo uspevala tista bitja, ki bodo potrebne opravke najbolje izvršila.
Tudi za mnoge industrije pomeni pomlad dobo oživljene in povečane aktivnosti. Zahteva za gotove potrebščine j ho poleti večja, kakor je bila v zimskem času. Ponekod so prilike za transportacijo ugodnejše. Gradbena industrija se prav razmahne šele z nastopom gorkega vremena. Kamorkoli pogledamo, vidimo povečano aktivnost. Ta živahna j aktivnost, ki nas obdaja, združena z vse oživljajočim po-j mladnim ozračjem, tudi nas priganja k pomnoženim aktivnostim.
Kot člani J. S. K. Jednote bi se morali zavedati, da jel naša dolžnost obrniti del naše oživljene aktivnosti tudi naši organizaciji. Pomagajmo izčistiti iz naših društev suhe veje mlačnosti in brezbrižnosti. Pomagajmo odstraniti pajčevino in zalego nestrpnosti, prepira in nezaupnosti. Popravimo zgradbo našega društva s potrebnimi odbori in predlogi za večjo društveno aktivnost.
Polje za našo J. S. K. Jednoto je razsežno in vse to obširno polje pričakuje zdravega in dobrega semena. Postanimo sejalci in sejmo semena pravega bratstva koderkoli hodimo. Dobra beseda za našo organizacijo ne stane nič, toda na pravem kraju se bo prijela in vzklila v uspeh. Ni nam treba nič pretiravati, samo resnico povejmo o naši organizaciji, pa bo marsikje mnogo zaleglo. Povejmo, da je naša JSKJ nad 106-procentno solventna, da točno plačuje svoje obligacije, da ima dobro in varčno vodstvo, da ima raznih vrst zavarovalnine, da je samo bratska podporna organizacija, ki se ne vtika v verske in politične zadeve, ampak pušča v tem popolno svobodo vsakemu posameznemu članu, da sprejema v svoje vrste vse značajne osebe belega plemena, j ki so v pravi starosti in drugače odgovarjajo kvalifikacijam, da ima mladinski oddelek, v katerem zavaruje člane od rojstva do 18. leta, itd. Vse to in še marsikaj drugega dobrega se lahko pove o naši organizaciji, ne da bi bilo treba kaj pretiravati. Pomlad jc čas sejanja, zato postanimo sejalci tudi' mi in sejmo semena dobrih priporočil za našo organizacijo po vseh poljih, ki so nam dosegljiva.
Poleg tega pa ne pozabimo, da zima bolezni in smrti neprestano redči naše vrste in da je treba nastajajoče vrzeli polniti. 'I ti se posuši bolehno drevo, tam nezgoda uniči drugega v polni moči. Ako ne bomo sproti skrbeli za novo rast, bodo v vrtu naše organizacije kmalu nastale goličave, ki bodo zmanjšale njeno solventnost, kar bo prizadelo nas vse. S pridobitvijo dobrega novega člana koristimo Jednoti kot celoti, katere del smo tudi mi, obenem pa postanemo deležni še nagrade v gotovini. Ne pozabimo, da so nagrade za pridobivanje novih članov še vedno v veljavi; podrobnosti o tem so navedene v vsaki izdaji Nove Dobe.
Končno ne pozabimo našega mladinskega oddelka. Ta oddelek nam je tako potreben, kakor je potrebna drevesnica za vsakega sadjarja, da iz iste črpa mlado rast za goličave, ki nastajajo v sadovnjaku. Pomnimo, da naš odrasli oddelek že vsa zadnja leta dobiva največ prirastka iz mladinskega oddelka. To velja za sedaj in bo veljalo še v znatno večji meri v bližnji bodočnosti. Mladini je lahak in logičen prestop iz mladinskega v odrasli oddelek, nekaj sličnega, kakor bi šla v istem poslopju iz ene sobe v drugo. Mladina ima že nekaj pojma o organizaciji, predno prestopi v odrasli oddelek, in nekako instinktivno čuti, da spada tja. Ako so drugi pogoji ugodni, jo je na vsak način lažje pridobiti za prestop, kakor pa dobiti popolnoma nove člane.
Skušajmo torej nuditi kar največ pomoči sedanji kampanji za pridobivanje novih članov v mladinski oddelek. Pomagajmo mladinskim kandidatom, ki so v tekmi za dosego delegatstva na mladinski konvenciji v avgustu, kjerkoli in kolikor nam je mogoče. S tem bomo vršili izredno važno delo za jednotino rezervo ter za pomlajenje in rast J. S. K. Jednote.

Sredi meseca marca je gostoval v Ljubljani bolgarski moški pevski zbor “Rodin” iz Soli je. Dvorana Uniona, kjer se je vršil koncert bolgarskega Ijevskega zbora, je bila zasedena do zadnjega kotička, in občinstvo je sledilo izvajanju pevskih točk z veliko pozornostjo in navdušenjem. Posebno navdušeno sprejete so bile bolgarske narodne pesmi. Ovacije so bile tolike, da so bolgarski gostje morali ponovno in ponovno peti. Ljubljančani so obsuli svoje južne pevske brate s cvetlicami in iskreno prisrčnostjo. Iz Ljubljane so se bolgarski pevci odpeljali v Maribor po nove lovorike.

Ta nagli porast prebivalstva gre v prvi vrsti na račun vedno večjega priseljevanja, medtem ko število rojstev v mestu samem polagoma, a vzdržema pada.

Stoletnica hrvatske himne. V 10. številki Gajeve “Danice” je v teh dneh leta 1835 izšla pesem “lirvatska domovina” od Ant. Mihailoviča, tedanjega gu-bernialnega tajnika na Reki. Hrvati so to pesem sprejeli za svojo narodno himno in postala je kmalu znana po vsem jugo-slovenskem jugu po svojem prvem stihu “Lepa naša domovina.” Himna je bila uglasbena leta 1846 po melodiji Donizettijeve “Lucije Lammermoor.”
Smrt Franja Golana. V Bermu pri Pazinu je umrl Franjo Gortan, oče istrskega mučenika Vladimira Gortana, ki je bil 6. septembra 1929 ustreljen v Puli.

Izkoriščanje bogatih rud pri Foči. Zastopniki velikega rudniškega podjetja, ki ima svoj sedež v Londonu, so že nekajkrat preiskovali rude v Bosni in Hercegovini ter so se najbolj zanimali za velike sklade rud v okolici Foče. Ruda je tam v preko meter debelih skladih in \sebuje tudi zlato. Tako vsebujejo veliki skladi rude do 70 odstotkov čistega svinca, preiskave pa so ugotovile, da bi dala ta ruda na tono tudi po 200 gramov srebra in do 100 gramov zlata. Prirodni zakladi v okolici Foče so znani že iz najst&rejših dob, a še niso bili nikdar pravilno izkoriščani. Revno prebivalstvo se zelo zanima za raziskavanja angleških strokovnjakov v upanju, da bo prišlo v novih rudnikih do zaslužka.

CURRENT THOUGHT 106.51 Per Cent Solvent
An increase ot‘ 2.02 per cent in our Union’s solvency is the Import of the actuary for the year 1934. For the year 1933 1 "’as 104.49 per cent; for the year 1934., 106.51 per cent.
This means that our Union has 6.51 per cent assets in excess °f that required by law. Solvency, as applied to our fraternal ■’‘-'netit organization, is the ratio of assets to liabilities. Like !'| a«y other business, the liabilities of our SSCU constitute the asis °f 100 per cent, which, compared with the assets, are ^ther greater or less. In the insurance field, the assets consist 0 the Union’s investments together with present value of future net contributions on death benefit certificates. The liabilities L‘(>|i-sist of the present value of promised death benefits. Pres-enRvalue refers to the calcultion made as of Jan. 1, 1935. Never before in the history of our South Slavonic Catholic llon have the members enjoyed a higher percentage of sol-ei*cy. This in spite of the adverse economic conditions preval-nt during the past four years.
thu»r SSCU has the distinction of holding first place among e larger Jugoslav fraternal benefit organizations in the nited States in the matter of solvency.
^	18 not the-policy of the editorial department of Nova Doba
tiore^6Ction on other Jugoslav fraternal benefit organiza-^ ns who do not enjoy the high degree of solvency maintained - °ur SSCU. The position acquired by our Union today is the ^SuH ot combined efforts put forth by its members, who work o^ther for a common good. . Other Jugoslav fraternals are S&nized and maintained with almost identical underlying > clPles. But, in the light of friendly competition, our mem-hj f can Point with pride at the figures which stand out as the knest among the Jugoslav fraternals.

Interest yield on the Union’s investments also made a nice ^P. From 3.98 per cent in 1933, the interest yield climbed ’4.85 in 1984.
j means that for every $100.00 of the SSCU’s reserves csted, principally in good and sound municipal, school dis-s and other bonds, the members realized a return of $4.85. sfel. supreme officers in charge of placing the Union’s re-Ves in sound securities, which also yield a nice return, can c°mrnended for using good judgment.

Th
v e Juvenile department also made a good gain during the ty '1	According	to the valuation report published in last
aeek« issue of Nova Doba, the juvenile department enjoyed w0lvency of 478 per cent as of Jan. 1, 1935, compared with 1 Per cent as of Jan. 1, 1934.
. 11 short, this means that the juvenile department has assets fj,,eXcess of 378 per cent required by law. Or, to use actual $94'^’ 0111 ■iuvenile department has a “margin of safety of >231.20 over and above the statutory standards.”

Electrons
Sparks “N” Flashes Springdale, Pa. — “Just around the corner.”—Hoover’s old cry referring to that elusive something, “Prosperity.” Remember? Well, maybe we didn’t find that corner but we know that when you turn the corner of Colfax and Garfield St. at 8:30 P. M. on May 11th, you’ll find yourself at the Debut Dance of the Electrons at the Krivan Hall. There, with tiie rhythmic strains of music by the Polish Aces accompanied by the tinkling of beer mugs, joy and laughters will reign supreme. So follow the crowd to the power city, the home of the Electrons.
Mushball—Yes While we are still turning corners, let’s dodge around this corner to the mushball season. Since there are a few old broken down baseball stars in the lodge, we have decided to enter a mushball team in the SSCU league. We might have to take a few lessons from the fair sex but nevertheless we'll be there. One never knows for we might win a few games.
Electron Personals Oh how we hate to get up in j the morning. Darn that alarm. Just let us get our hooks 011 the gink that invented the alarm—favorite song of our duet sisters—Mary Oset and Mary Simmons. At one time Julia Yelovchan held interest in a certain barber shop. Oh! Mv! Oh! Get it Julia? Our fair bakerette, Jennie Progar is also a “swellegant” lullaby singer. When the one candle birthday cake Jennie? Francis Brubach is laying a firm foundation for his future life’s work—Mortician. He sure dresses to kill. Beware, ye femmes. Joe Yu-sko just can’t resist wrapping iiis hooks around the willow and giving the horsehide a wallop. Stan sure is prompt in answering letters. So F. Y. will notice by his long lapse. Hopes to break this habit soon. Rose didn’t kick because John is now on his vacation. Now he can see her on time. You’re not kicking, are you, John? Story telling Joe Sherosky lives for the May 11th dance where he will renew old acquaintances and conclude the story he started in Aliquippa. His favorite pose is as “Big Tim O’Reilly,” the politician. Frank Progar is running brother Stan competition to the nickname “Father Coughlin.” He has the slight advantage. Three years.

Our entry in the national SSCU Bowling tournament, to be held in Cleveland on May 5th, was made with Ihe intention of doing our part to make it a success. I hope that Cleveland, however, will not expect us to report with any ‘300” bowlers, as this is the first year for some of our bowlers in the art of kegling. By taking this trip we hope to bring our S. S. ( '. U. lodges closer together and increase the interest ot our Union. Anyone who intends to go to Cleveland, besides the bowlers, should please iet me know by meeting night.

Girls! What do you think of a plan to organize your own softball team this year? In other years a number of our girl-members came and watched the boys at practice. As there are two diamonds at Highland Park, why not have the girls get together to form a team? Have your opinion regarding this at our next regular meeting.

BY LITTLE STAN
Ely, Minnesota. A Huge car- careens crazily down the street crowded with traffic, pedestrians, animals, including Curly Palchers’ dog Sporty. Seated in the big vehicle is Little Stan out to get the latest in news! Crowds stare at the car as it swishes by . . . then break out into peals of laughter. What’s th > big joke? You ask. Well, Heh Heh, the huge car is a midget Austin, and Little Stan is six feet three so-o-o that’s the rub!
Little Stan will have a picture of the Austin and himself soon, which if it looks funny enough might be published in the Nova Doba. No- question about the funny part . . . Oho! What AM I saying? Well, anyway, the weather is ideal spring, when romance fills the air and music does the rest! You know music i.%a funny thing, isn’t it! We wouldn’t say funny perhaps . . . but it has its reactions 011 us poor romantic reporters! Tsk Tsk!
Let’s see now, Little Stan was absent from Nova Doba folds for two whole weeks. That will never, never do! But here’s how it happened. Being a publisher, and a reporter for two different papers is quite a task you must admit, and Little Stan had his hands full. (I just can't leave those romantic thoughts out!) And then putting off the darn thing until tomorrow never does anyone any good either; and that’s that! Besides that spring fever might have had something to- do with the whole darned business . . .
JUVENILE CONVENTION PLANS
And now it i,s time for Little Stan's bedtime stori/. So all you juvenile members draw up your itsij bitsy chairs anil lit tin Stan, will play poor papa and tri/ to talk you to sleep. Heh Heh. All set"i Fine. Well, mice upon a lime, many many moons ay0, a group of men (jot together iu a little city in Northern Minnenfita called Ely to begin an organization which was destined to hike first place among the organizations of the country. These men 'worked very hard to bring the organization up to its present level. Others took up the work left off by the originators and today we have Ihe finest fraternal organization in the United States, Tin South Slavonic Catholic Union!
Juveniles, youngsters like you and myself, have played important parts in the youngster's juvenile fund. For a small cost of 15c per mouth all the juveniles in the country should In- enrolled and in August at the juvenile convention time right lure in Ely . . . And it surely will be one sir ell time, fov all you juveniles. Let’s all get together and enroll all Hie youngsters we can. as 1 understand that one delegate is allowed from, every tiro hundred Juvenile members.
Just think, Ely is centered right out where the wilderness begins, a beautiful spot in the summertime with its thousands of lakes, good fishing, swimming in cool clean lakes, and to top it off Little Stan will be on hand with his Austin Car to take you all for a ride through, the street and countryside of Ely. Great fun, of course it iron't all be fun, as you will also have your own business sessions just like the grown ups do at their conventions: but all work and no play will make us all kinda waiting for some excitement.
That's something to look forivard to, so let’s get going. Enroll all the members you can, and in the end they will thank you for telling them what a good insurance then obtained.
Bedtime story did I say! It was a history and facts, but that's a Range Facts reporter for yon always talking facts. Hell Heh.

Cleveland SSCU Bowling League Closes Season
NEW FASHIONS ARE CHAMPIONS
Cleveland, O.—An unexpected climax presented itself last Sunday afternoon at the closing session of the Cleveland SSCU Bowling League. After the last ball .was rolled, New Dealers and New Fashions ended with a tie for first place.
Followed a match game to decide the championship team. With excitement running high, New Dealers and New Fashions prepared for the deciding tilt. Spectators, consisting mostly of the members of the other six teams, applauded as Louis Tolar and Louis Pirc, lead-off men, whisked the ball down the alley. Then came Miss Ann Hoenig and Mrs. M. Tolar, followed by Lawrence Burger and Miss Ann Jaklich; fourth in line were Miss Julia Bouha and J. Tolar, with A. Jelercic and J. Lunka holding down part of the anchor job. Last, but not least, came the anchor men, M. Krall and F. Kovitch, captains of New Fashions and New Dealers, respectively.
The championship match was a thriller from the beginning to the very end. Tense expressions on the bowlers indicated that they were putting forth every ounce of energy in an effort to gain a victory.
• New Fashions came out on top as shown in the scores below:

Aurora, 111. — St. Anna’s Lodge, No. 119, SSCU will sponsor a dance, card, and bunco party, Thursday evening, April 25, at 8:00 p. m., at the Slovene hall. Since our Lodge did not have any social affair for a long time, I am appealing to you members for your cooperation to make this party a success.
It is necessary that you should all be present at our next meeting April 14, to conclude the unfinished arrangements about the party. Tickets will be distributed at this meeting to save the mailing expense. Tt was voted at the last meeting that every member must buy one admission ticket. Surely this is not too much. Sisters, keep in mind these two dates “April 14th and April 25th.” May wa count on you? Best wishes to all.

Center, Pa. — The Center Ramblers are trying to nut over this first Duck Pin Tournament over with more zest than ever.
Coming nearer and nearer the tournament, which is being held in Pittsburgh, May 12, the Ramblers will be there trying to ramble back home with some of those prizes which will be given away. I hope that the rest of the S. S. C. U. lodges fell the same way about this matter.
This tournament has been keeping the spirit of our lodge up, as every member, if he is a kegler or not, says the Ramblers will be well represented at this tournament, even our cheer leader “Smithy” says: ‘1 will be there with bells on.”
We are sorry to say that we have lost “Jake,” the maestro, who was seriously hurt at the Federal Building, where he fell forty feet. He was taken to a hospital. We all regret the accident. He is one of our new members this year. All members wish Jake a speedy recovery.
I will see you all down at Lawrence Recreation Alleys on May 12.

DEAR EDITOR:
I’m very sorry I didn’t write to the Nova Doba. Well, I’ll make up for the time I lost. The weather out here is changing. I’m glad. About the juvenile convention that I read about in the Nova Doba. 1 didn’t think anything of it until one day I went to visit my brother-in-law, Mr. John Zigman. We started to talk about it and I was telling him how I would like to go. Mr. Zigman was telling me how beautiful it is in Ely, Minn. Mr. Zigman asked me if I wanted to go and I said yes. He said, “Ani, stopi na noge.”
I sure did and I got sixteen members. And this is just the beginning. I want to thank you for the writeup you put in the Nova Doba about my getting sixteen members. I appreciate it very much. I’m working harder now, trying to get more members for our lodge. I haven’t much to write about this time, but I’ll write more next time. Until then I’ll be trying to get more members.

DEAR EDITOR:
I always read the letters that the juvenile members write in to the Nova Doba. I saw a letter from Frank Yekovich Jr. from Canon City, Colo. Frank used to live in Walsenburg and used to be my pal. I then decided to write, too.
I am 12 years old, in the sixth grade and a member of Lodge No. 21(5, SSCU. My sister is the secretary and my brother is also a member.
I have for pets a dog and a cat.
Our lodge is giving an Easter dance April 20. We children have a nice time at our lodge dances because quite a few children are present.
For our Easter dance Frank and the rest of the Yekovich family should try to come to Walsenburg.

DEAR EDITOR:
First I wish to thank you for the one-dollar check I received for my article in the February issue of the Nova Doba. It was a great pleasure to receive letters from the juvenile members of the SSCU. I am very thankful to everyone who wrote to me. I received my first letter from Mary Kotnik from Cleveland, O. She also sent me a picture of herself for which I will return one of myself. Victoria Kumse from Lorain, O., wrote me a joyful letter. I thank her, too.
At last I’m over with my illness, going to school and making up my school work which I missed while being absent for more than seven weeks. But I don’t mind working and studying just so I am well again.
The weather is getting warmer now and the birds are 'chirping and singing that “Spring is here.” Pretty soon we will be able to pick dandelion greens, our delicious “salata.” Spring chascd away some sicknesses that were here
for a long time. The terrible flu and pneumonia proved fatal-to quite a few persons in Ely.
Our Little Stan, I mean Stanley Pe-chaver, is a regular business man now.J He and Miss Mochnik bought out Mr. Blinen’s business, w'hich is called Ely Shopper. It is a weekly newspaper that comes out every Thursday. It is made up of advertisements, want ads, city news and other interesting articles.
I wish Stan and his partners have a lot of success.
I’m trying to get five new members in the SSCU šo I can go to the convention next August. Dear little brother and sister juveniles, let’s all get on our feet and get some new members for our SSCU. Here’s luck to you all.

DEAR EDITOR:
After reading the many fine letters of last month’s issue I decided to write my first letter. But I hope it is not my last one. I also hope my letter will be satisfactory.
Now to change my subject, I will tel! you something about school. English and Hygiene are my hardest subjects. No matter how hard I try I can’t get good marks in these two, subjects. But I am trying harder and having more success. I go to St. Joseph School and I am in the seventh grade. I hope I will pass when school days end.
I belong to Lodge No. 78, SSCU. I think the Nova Doba is a good paper. I, as well as my brothers and sisters, enjoy reading the stories. I am also sending a story which I wrote during our composition period. It is about Patrick Henry, a great American orator.
PATRICK HENRY
Patrick Henry, an eminent American orator, was born in Hanover County, Virginia, in 173(3. His father was a native of Scotland and a nephew of Robertson, the celebrated historian. In early life, Henry engaged in angling and hunting, and he seemed too indolent to apply himself to any regular occupation. He managed, however, to, pick up a good deal of general information and he seemed to possess by intuition a profound knowledge of human nature in all its various phases. Having failed successively in “store keeping” and in farming, he at length was inclined to try the profession of law.
For a few years this seemed to promise no better success than his former occupation had alone, but he was employed in 1755 to plead the cause of the people against an unpopular tax. This great speech lasted for more than two hours. From that moment to the present day he has been regarded as the greatest of American orators. He was a zealous patriot in the War of the Revolution and was one of the most prominent and influential members of the Virginia Legislature. Henry was also a delegate to the first general Congress, which met at Philadelphia in September, 1774, and his voice was the first to break the silence of that assembly.
His eloquence on that occasion is said to have astonished all his listeners. In 177(5 he was elected governor of Virginia, and afterward twice reelected. In 1795 Washington appointed him secretary of state. He died in 1799.

GIRARD, O.
Prišla je zopet k nam vesela pomlad, ki se jo mi otroci posebno veselimo. Nimamo radi zime, ko nam mrzli sneg pleše okoli hiš. Mnogo rajši imamo pomlad, ko zacvetejo rožice, ko zapojo ptički, ki so se vrnili iz gorkih krajev, in ko se lahko otroci igramo na prostem. Seveda, samo igranje tudi ni, ker moramo hoditi v šolo in se učiti, da bomo kaj znali, ko odrastemo. Jaz hodim v Washington šolo tu v Girardu. Doma pa se po malem učim tudi slovensko in že toliko znam, da morem citati slovenske časopise. Mislim, da je lepo, da znam tudi jezik mojih staršev. Pozdrav vsem čitateljem Nove Dobe!

DEAR EDITOR:
Here is another one of my stories. I was trying to write a story, but I couldn’t think of a title. If I can think of a title then I can write the story. I looked at a picture of a beautiful forest and from that I made up my story.
A HIKE IN THE FOREST
Margaret, Betty and Louise, three very chummy girl friends, decided to take a hike to a very scenic forest about two miles from their homes. Plans were being made a few. days ahead, so that everything would not be confused.
They prepared the food which they were going to take and packed their baskets the evening before the set day because they wanted to start early in the morning. They thought to themselves, that if only the next day would be sunny and agreeable as the day before.
After a little chat, each girl went to her home and went to bed.
At about 12 o’clock that night the wind began to blow, rain poured and thunder was heard. Now this meant that there would be no hike the next day.
That afternoon as they were talking about going on the hike the following w'eck, Margaret said, “I have a' feeling
that we shouldn’t go. I’m afraid something would happen, since it is raining cn the day we planned at first.”
“Ah, don’t be silly,’” replied Louise, “what would happen? We are going to go next week and you are going with us."’
“I am not,” Margaret answered.
The days flew by and the next week came, but Margaret refused to go. After a great deal of coaxing she consented.
This time they packed their baskets early in the morning because-they didn’t want anymore surprises like last week. Betty had a wristwatcn so that they would know when to return. So they started off.
At'about 10 o’clock they reached the forest and began looking around. Everything was so cheerful. The birds were singing very sweetly. Hearing the birds sing started the girls singing, too. The time passed so quickly, and before long it was noon.
Then the girls ate lunch. After lunch they began to go deeper into the forest.
“We better not go too far into the forest, or we may get lost,” said Margaret.
“We aren’t children, and we won’t get lost,” replied Betty. So they kept on.
At about 4 o’clock they decided to return home. They turned around, walked a few steps and then they did not know which way to go. They were lost in the forest, with trees on every side. “Why didn’t we listen to Margaret?” said Betty. “Now what will we do?” So they set out to try to find the way to get out.
First of all they took the path on their right, but it was the wrong one. Then they took the one on their left, it also was the wrong one. “Well,” said Louise, “since there is one more path here, it must be the right one.” By this , time the sun was beginning to set. They sky was a reddish color. The grass and leaves were a reddish green from the setting sun. “I w'ish we hadn’t come. I told you something would happen,” said Margaret.
They began to run, for now it was getting dark. Suddenly Margaret stumbled and fell. “Oh, my arm!” she cried, “it’s broken.” ’
Quickly Betty and Louise lifted her lip and found that she had a broken arm. “Now, two things have happened already, and what next?” cried Margaret.
At home their parents were worried about them, wondering if they were lost. Margaret’s two brothers, Robert and Phil, were sent by their mother to see if they could find the girls.
As they were about one-half mile away from the forest they saw three girls coming toward them. As they came closer they saw the girls they were looking for. Quickly they stopped the car and asked the girls what the matter was. “0h,:” said Margaret, “we were lost in the forest and by the time we found the right path it was dark. I fell and broke my arm. Hurry, take me the doctor.”. The girls got into the car and hurriedly went to the doctor.
The doctor put Margaret’s arm in a sling and said that she would be all right. When they- reached home, Margaret’s mother asked, “What kept you girls back?” She saw Margaret’s arm was in a sling and fainted. The two girls caught her, carried her out on the porph, laid her on a sofa and gave her a drink of water.*
After a few moments she felt better. Then the girls told her what had happened.
After a few weeks Margaret’s arm was taken out of the sling, and again everyone was happy. The girls promised that they would never go .so deeply into the forest unless they went with someone that knew the way.

I wish to thank you for the dollar check which I received. I certainly did not expect it.
In February I was appointed editor of our school newspaper. We have named it School Highlights. Our first issue came out on George Washington’s birthday. Our next issue came out on March 15.
I am very busy at home and at school, but during my spare time I wrote this story:
A SNOW PRISONER
Jean lived in a little brown house, high up in the mountains. It had been snowing hard and it was dangerous to go out because of snow avalanches. Jean sat near the window playing with her favorite doll, Ellen Marie. Her
parents had gone to visit a sick neigh" bor.	,
Jean happened to look out of fW window and saw a bird hopping arouiW' She was tired of sitting and playin-with a doll, so she put on her hat, cop! and scarf and went out to play. Aga"1 she saw the bird. It had a broWJj wing and could not fly. She decide to catch it and keep it until it cow fly, but the bird hopped away fr0® her. Jean jumped and all at once fel herself falling through space. $5 screamed, but it did no good. Sh fell on a soft bed of snow and tM snow covered her. For a long tin1* she called, then everything went blaC Her parents came home and see® she was nowhere in sight went to 10« for her. They did not know where look. Where could she be?

Jean was taken home. She was ^ hurt, but had caught a bad cold. Je5‘1 got well, but she never went out to pW w hen the snow was so deep again. ,;

Euclid, O.
Marsikateri izmed nas, ki je prišel v to deželo pred mnogimi leti, se spominja, kako težke čase smo imeli priseljenci. Jezika dežele nismo znali, najtežja dela smo morali opravljati, podpornih društev ni bilo, ali so se šele razvijala. Bili smo kot truma boječih zajcev, katero lahko vsak preganja. Saj vemo, kako so nas otroci po mestih poleti obmetavali s kamenjem, pozimi pa s kepami, ia nam dajali grda imena.
Danes je drugače. Uveljavili smo se v deželi kot enakovredni državljani, ustanovili smo si mogočne organizacije, na katere gledajo s spoštovanjem tudi drugorodci. Med temi organizacijami zavzema odlično mesto naša J. S. K. Jednota. Mi pionirji smo izkopali in podzidali temelje za to organizacijo. Potem so nam prišli na pomoč drugi in končno je z delom vseh zrastla krasna stavba, ki je vsem v ponos. Bilo je še malo število društev pri JSKJ, ko sem prišel iz Pennsylvanije v Cleveland. Na nekem sestanku me je eden tovarišev vprašal, če se hočem vpisati za delo. Vprašal sem ga, kakšno delo je to, nakar mi je šaljivo odgovo-111, da bomo kopali za temelj J.
S. K. Jednoti. Razumel sem njegovo šalo in iz šale je prišla rcsnica. Kopali smo za temelj, nato pa smo začeli graditi. Danes smo na našo krasno stavbo vsi ponosni.
Dolžnost vseh članov JSKJ, tako pionirjev, kakor mlajših, je, da skrbimo, da bo ta naša zgradba vedno lepša, vedno močnejša. Pridobimo svoje prijatelje za vstop v društvo in nagovorimo jih, da vpišejo vanj svoje otroke. Naše delo ni nikdar končano. Vsak se naj pošteno udejstvuje pri svojem društvu, pa se bo v celoti mnogo poznalo.
Vsi dobri člani bi morali točno posečati mesečne seje društva in se zanimati za vse, kar se tam ukrepa. Par odbornikov ali članov ne more veliko narediti, vsi člani skupaj pa lahko veliko dosežemo. Kar storimo v korist društva, ni v korist kakega posameznega člana, ampak v korist vseh članov, ki spadajo k društvu. Vsako društvo potrebuje nekaj blagajne, kajti izdatki so vedno, poleg tega pa društvo z močno blagajno j <
kateri so se izražali tako, drugi drugače. Seveda je vsakemu dovoljeno priti v javnost s svojim mnenjem.
Kar se mene tiče, se strinjam z ukrepom glavnega odbora glede mladinske konvencije. Seveda, zavedam se, da ta konvencija ne bo napravila nika-kih posebnih zaključkov, ker, prvič, ne bo imela take avtoritete, drugič pa je mladina pač mladina. Toda, jaz verjamem, da bo ravno ta konvencija vzbudila med mladino veliko zanimanje za našo Jednoto. In to je važno. Nobena jugoslovanska podporna organizacija še ni imela take konvencije, in dvomim, da bi bilo že kdaj kaj takega med ameriškimi Poljaki, Slovaki, Madžari, Nemci itd. Slovenci smo nekako smatrani za zadnje med različnimi narodnostmi v Ameriki. Zakaj bi ne bili enkrat prvi! Naša mladina bo imela drugorodni mladini precej zanimivega povedati o tej konvenciji in o naši organizaciji, ki jo je priredila. Taka reklama našemu ugledu gotovo ne bo škodovala.
Nekateri menijo, da bi bilo bolj koristno, če bi se več mladinskih asesmentov opustilo, mesto, da se denar porabi za mladinsko konvencijo. Seveda, če bi bilo več mladinskih ases-nientov suspendiranih na leto, kajpak ne bi škodilo, toda ne gre, da bi bil volk sit in ovca cela. Mladina bi le malo vedela za tiste suspendirane ases-mente, vedela pa bo in se zanK mala za svojo konvencijo. To bo reklama med njo samo, da nam bo ostala zvesta, tudi ko odraste, prestopi v odrasli oddelek in začne sama plačevati usesmente. Mladino je treba na lep način seznaniti z našo organizacijo. Najti je treba način, po katerem se ji ta organizacija prikupi in priljubi, in to že sedaj, ko se še ne zaveda potrebe in važnosti podpornega zavarovanja. Ako mladim žrebetom, jancem in teličkom kažemo kruha, bodo tekli za nami; ako jim bomo kazali palico', bodo pobegnili v gozd in podivjali. Mladino vseh vrst je mogoče pridobiti le zlepa.
Imam precej izkušenj, saj : cm že 15 let tajnik pri društvu ter imam troje otrok v odraslem enega pa v mladinskem oddelku. S samim suhoparnim poučevanjem pa se pri mladini ne doseže dosti. Ako otroka prisilim danes za en korak naprej, bo stopil jutri dva koraka nazaj. Privabiti in zainteresirati pa moremo otroka za kakšno reč le na .mikaven in privlačen način. Oni mladi delegati, ki se bodo udeležili mladinske konvencije, bodo po svojem povratku nedvomno imeli dosti povedati svojim mladim tovarišem o močni in dobri organizaciji in seveda tudi o prijetnostih, ki jih bodo ob priliki konvencije doživeli. To bo gotovo dobra reklama za nas. In i mladi delegati bodo v dogled-

Kot tajnika društva “Krasni raj,” št. 160 JSKJ, me veže dolžnost, da priporočam našim članom ali članicam mladinskega oddelka, da bi se malo bolj zanimali za napredek tega oddelka. Znano je, da se bliža konvencija mladinskega oddelka JSKJ, ki se bo vršila v Ely-ju, Minn., in katere se bodo u-deležili tisti mladinski člani, ki bodo najbolj aktivni. Vsak član mladinskega oddelka, ki je bi! član že 31. decembra 1934, In ki je vsaj 12 let star, je lahko kandidat za delegata. Dobiti mora najmanj pet novih članov v mladinski oddelek; delegat pa bo tisti, ki jih bo dobil največ. Za vsakega novo pridobljenega člana mladinskega /oddelka plača Jednota 50 centov nagrade. Kdor bo dosegel čast delegat-stva, bo imel prosto vožnjo na Ely, Minn., in nazaj, po $2.00 medpotoma za stroške prehrane, in vso oskrbo v mestu Ely. Kdo bi si ne želel takih poletnih počitnic ?
Pa še- nekaj. Naše društvo je sklenilo na zadnji seji, da vsak član mladinskega oddelka našega društva, ki pridobi pel novih članov v mladinski oddelek, dobi še posebej $2.00 nagrade od društva. Torej, 11a nege, fantje in dekliči! Ne prezrite prilik, ki se vam ponujajo !
K sklepu poživljam naše društvene nadzornike, ki,so sobrat Frank Volk, sosestra Mary Simčič in sobrat John Vatovec, da pridejo v nedeljo 14. aprila že ob 1. uri popoldne v dvorano na Prince Ave., da pred sejo pregledajo društvene knjige in .račune. Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 160 JSKJ:

Mfcd drugimi pride na razpravo iniciativni predlog društva št. 82 JSKJ v Sheboyganu, Wis., ki je bil priobčen v-Novi Dobi 13. marca. Po mojem mnenju je dotični iniciativni predlog zelo važen, zato ponovno vabim vse člane na sejo 14. aprila, da razpravljajo in glasujejo, o podpiranju istega.

Važno je tudi. da se vse članice udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 14. aprila, da dovršimo, kar je še potrebnega in nedokončanega- tikajoče se priprav za to prireditev. Vstopnice bodo razdeljene na tej seji, da si s tem prihranimo poštnino. Na zadnji seji je bilo sklenjeno, da mora vsaka članica plačati eno vstopnico, če se zabave udeleži ali ne. Vzrok za to, mislim, da ve vsaka članica, namreč, da .do denarja, katerega imamo na banki, ne moremo, na. rokah ga pa nimamo, da bi članice zalagale z asesmenti. Končno še enkrat priporočam članicam, da ne pozabijo na dva važna datuma v tem mesecu: 14. in 25. aprila. Prosim sosestre, da vzamejo to na znanje. Sestrski pozdrav! — Za društvo št. 119 JSKJ:

Igra “Divji lovec,” katero je priredilo pevsko društvo “Prešeren,” ods. Slov. Doma v Pittsburghu, Pa., dne 31. marca, je izpadla jako povoljno, posebno v posetu. Tukaj je še najboljši dokaz, da zna naše ljudstvo dobro ceniti požrtvovalnost, ki je zvezana s takimi prireditvami. To je tudi najboljši dokaz, da se Ameriški Slovenci še vedno zanimajo za našo kulturo in napredek.
Na igri je bilo lepo število naših rojakov iz bližnjih in daljnih krajev, zakar .jim izrekamo prav iskreno zahvalo. Brez njih bi bil uspeh igre jako slab, ker smo opazili malo naših domačih rojakov. Kaj je bil temu vzrok, zaenkrat še ne vemo. Upati je, da se kaj takega v bodoče ne ponovi.
Rojakom, ki so nas poselili 31. marca,'pa zagotavljamo, du bomo skrbeli tudi v bodoče za lene zabavne prireditve, ter jih prosimo tudi nadaljne podpore. Mi bomo pa skušali vsem ob priliki naklonjenost tudi povi-niti.—Za pev. ods. “Prešeren”:

Naj bo dovoljeno tudi meni v Novi Dobi izraziti moje mnenje glede mladinske konvencije JSKJ, ker se je že več drugih članov izrazilo glede tega. Ne-
nem času zavzeli vodilna mesta pri organizaciji, mesto nas starejših.
Upoštevati moramo pa tudi dejstvo, da bo delegatstvo nekaka nagrada za tiste, ki bodo v pridobivanju novih- članov najbolj agilni. To je bil glavni namen gl. odbora, namreč, da se s tem razmahne kampanja za pridobivanje članov v mladinski oddelek. Naš mladinski oddelek bi moral biti mnogo močnejši, kakor je dosedaj, kajti močan mladinski oddelek bo dal mnogo prirastka odraslemu oddelku. Ako organizacija ne laste, začne nazadovati. Glavni odbor'skuša pospešiti to rast. V to svrlio išče razne poti in pripomočke. Za enkrat je izbral pot mladinske konvencije in jaz upam, da bo uspešna in na bo visoko dvignila število članstva našega mladinskega oddelka. Pozdrav!

Na seji društva sv. Jožefa, št. 89 JSKJ, ki se je vršila 17. marca, je bilo sklenjeno, da se prihodnja seja vrši TRETJI TOREK v mesecu, to je 16. aprila. Pričetek ob 7:30 zvečer. Seja je bila za mesec april prestavljena vsled tega, ker je tretja nedelja velikonočna' in bi se seje udeležilo še manj članov, kakor običajno. Torej, da se ne pozabi, naša prihodnja seja bo 16. aprila in se bo pričela ob 7:30 zvečer.
Dalje je bilo na seji v marcu sklenjeno, da naše društvo priredi na dan 18. maja veselico skupno z angleško poslujočim društvom “Pathfinder,” št. 222 JSKJ. Na prihodnji seji bo treba izbrati veselični odbor, zato je važno, da se je udeležijo vsi člani, ker prireditev veselice da precej dela, katerega ne morejo izvršiti dve ali tri osebe.
Meseca marca je nekaj članov plačalo naklado v sklad one-noglih po 10 centov; tisti bodo prosti te naklade v aprilu. Za naprej se plačuje samo 5 centov naklade v ta sklad. — K sklepu voščim vesele velikonočne praznike vsemu članstvu J.

Bratje in sestre, v zapisniku letnega zborovanja gl. odbora smo videli, kaj je bilo sklenjeno glede onih članov, ki so izčrpali vso podporo in podporo za onemogle. Naše društvo se s tem ukrepom ne zadovoljuje. Na zadnji seji je naše društvo zaključilo- da glavni odbor ni imel pravice ukreniti, da se člane samovoljno postavi samo 11a posmrtnino in odstrani od podpore, odškodninske in onemoglo-st-ne. To bi zamogli člani sami storiti, ako jih je volja, da ne pripadajo odškodninski in one-moglostni podpori. Zato naše društvo poživlja vsa društva. JSKJ, da protestirajo proti onemu zaključku glavnega odbora, ker je v škodo nam vsem. Polagoma hoče menda glavni odbor izpremeniti vsa pravila, ki so bila sprejeta na 14. konvenciji. Ze več točk je bilo izpre-menjenih, odkar je bila konvencija, pa sta komaj pretekli dve leti, in kaj še bo v prihodnjih dveh letih! Po tej priliki ne bi bilo potrebno, da se vršijo konvencije, ako dopustimo, da glavni odbor isto dela, ali če se popdini člani kaj zmislijo in pišejo na glavni urad, tam pa se potrdi. — Bratski in sestrski pozdrav!—Za društvo sv.

Kakor znano, se bo meseca avgusta vršila na Ely ju konvencija mladinskega oddelka. Naše društvo sv. Barbare, št;. 33 JSKJ, ima okrog 80 otrok v mladinskem oddelku in med temi jih je že večje število starih 12 let ali več, toda dosedaj se še ni nihče priglasil za kandidata, oziroma, da bi šel v kon-test za nabiranje novih elanov
mladinski oddelek. Vsled tega poživljam člane in članice mladinskega oddelka našega društva, ki so stari 12 let ali več, da naj se kateri izmed njih priglasi za kandidata za mladinsko konvencijo. Oglasi naj se pri meni, da dobi vse potrebne listine in navodila. Kontest bo zaključen 30. junija, torej ni ravno preveč časa. Naše društvo bo sicer v svrho določitve delegata združeno z drugim, toda prav tako lahko je, da doseže čast delegatstva na mladinski konvenciji član ali članica našega društva, kakor od drugega. Kdor bo dobil največ novih članov v mladinski oddelek, tisti bo proglašen za delegata, in bo imel priliko iti v Ely, Minnesoto, tekom letošnjih šolskih počitnic. Torej, mladi člani in članice, ne odlašajte s priglašenjem! — Za društvo št. 33 JSKJ:

Vsem članom društva sv Alojzija, št. 43 JSKJ- ki niso bili na seji 17. marca, naznanjam, da je bilo na omenjeni seji sklenjeno, da bomo v bo doče zborovali v Johna Smitha
Ely, Minn.
Znano je, da se bo v začetku av glista 1935 vršila tukaj v Elyju konvencija mladinskega oddelka JSKJ. Vršila se bo v mestu, kjer je bila naša organizacija rojena in kjer stoji njen glavni urad. Po naročilu seje društva sv. Srca Jezusa, št. 2 JSKJ, me veže dolžnost, da napišem glede tega nekaj v naše glasilo.
V	podrobnosti glede te kampanje za pridobivanje novih članov v mladinski oddelek, se ne bom spuščal, ker je bilo to že vsestransko pojasnjeno od strani glavnih in društvenih odbornikov in tudi od nekaterih drugih članov in članic. Rečem pa to, da to je ena NAJBOLJŠIH STVARI, kar jih je bilo še dosedaj predloženih in
sprejetih za prospeh mladinskega oddelka JSKJ.
Zato, očetje in matere, pomagajte svojim otrokom, svojemu sinu ali hčeri do najlepših počitnic v zgodovini naše mladine v Ameriki. Tako naj bi tudi starejši bratje in se-ntre pomagali svojim mlajšim bratom in sestram, ki so kandidati za delegatstvo, da isto iosežejo, in da bodo deležni naj lepšega počitniškega izleta v Minnesoto, katerega ne bodo likoli pozabili. Seveda, če jim liočete pomagati, da to dosežejo, morate jim tudi pomagati agitirati, morate z njimi hoditi >d hiše do hiše. Seveda pridobite nove člane tudi lahko vi <ami, brez njihove pomoči, pa lih vpišete njim v kredit.
Kot znano, bodo prišli v po-itev za delegate le taki kandidati, ki bodo imeli v svoj kre-lit vpisanih najmanj 5 novih •lanov za mladinski oddelek, to !o 30. junija 1935. Seveda, s eni ni rečeno, da bo vsak lahko ielegat s petimi novimi člani, vajti za delegata bo določen tisti, ki bo pridobil NAJVEČ novih članov. Vsa taka in natančnejša pojasnila lahko dobi-le pri društvenih tajnikih. Tote j. na delo, bratje in sestre, privoščite svojim otrokom čast delegatstva, izlet v Minnesoto, v rojstni kraj Jednote, da vidijo tam jednotin dom, ki je tudi njihov, in da vidijo minnesotske poletne lepote.
Društva, ki bodo do 30. aprila imela najmanj 200 članov v mladinskem oddelku, bodo u-pravičena do lastnega delegata zn mladinsko konvencijo. Društva z manjšim številom mladinskih članov bodo združena z drugimi, da dosežejo zahtevano število. Naše društvo št. 2 JSKJ ima blizu 200 članov v svojem mladinskem oddelku, toda ne povsem polnega števila za lastnega delegata ali delega-tinjo. Spodobilo bi se pa gotovo, da bi naše društvo izkazovalo toliko mladinskih članov, da bi lahko imelo svojega delegata. To se lahko zgodi, ako vpišejo v mladinski oddelek našega društva svoje otroke vsi tisti starši, člani našega društva, ki jih dosedaj še nimajo vpisanih, časa za to ni več dosti, namreč samo do 30. aprila. Ako do takrat ne bomo imeli najmanj 200 članov v mladinskem oddelku našega društva, ne bomo imeli na mladinski konvenciji v avgustu svojega delegata ali delegat in j e.
Prepričan sem, da če bi nekaj pripomogel vsak član ali članica našega društva, da bi se gori omenjeni cilj lahko dosegel brez posebnega truda. Ako kateri ve za prospektivnega mladinskega člana ali članico, naj takoj sporoči našemu društvenemu tajniku ali pa predsedniku, da se storijo potrebni koraki-in se ga vpiše v društvo, dokler je še čas. Treba nam je. nekoliko društvenega ponosa, nekoliko korajže, prave sloge in nekoliko truda, pa bo šlo. Na delo torej! Bratski pozdrav!

Društvo Jugoslovan, št. 104 JSKJ, je na svoji redni seji dne 19. marca, razmotrivalo o iniciativnem predlogu dr. št. 82 JSKJ. Soglasno je bilo sklenjeno, da naše društvo podpira gori omenjeni predlog v celoti. Naše mnenje je, da ni več kot pravilno, da se tak predlog nemudoma sprejme, posebno sedaj, ko od vseh strani vsiljujejo različne zakone, s katerimi poskušajo razbiti organizirano delavstvo. Stavkokazi kot taki največ škodujejo unijam in članstvu istih, zatoraj ne sme biti zanje mesta v delavskih ustanovah, ker taki ljudje pljujejo v skledo, iz katere zajemajo. Ker smatramo našo Jednoto za 100 procentov delavsko, zato priporočamo vsem društvom, da predlog društva št. 82. podpirajo. Ker je v razmahu velika kampanja (Dalje na 8. strani)
DOPISI
(Nadaljevanje s 7. strani) za mladinski oddelek, je potrebno, da članstvo prične biti agilno in pripelje kaj novih članov. Posebno otroci imajo sedaj lepo priliko, da si zaslužijo, brezplačno vožnjo v Minnesoto. Ko smo na zadnji seji razpravljali o agitaciji za nove člane, je bilo nekaj članov mnenja, da bi bilo veliko bolj pametno, ako bi glavni odbor suspendiral ases-ment mladinskega oddelka za par mesecev, in da bi s tern bolj dobro oglašal Jednoto, kot jia jo bo z mladinsko konvencijo. Kot ima b. urednik svojo kolono, tako lahko tudi člani lahko izrečejo mnenje, vsak po svoje. Prav lahko pa bodemo še več kritizirali, ko pripeljemo kaj novih kandidatov. Torej sedaj na delo. Glede asesmenta je 'še vedno stara pesem: plačajte, ako ne plačate, bodete suspendirani. Nekaterim bolniškim obiskovalcem ne bo škodilo, ako bodo nekoliko bolj točno vršili svojo dolžnost. Članstvu dr. Jugoslovan in vsemu članstvu Jednote želim veselo veliko noč in veliko pirhov.

Cleveland, O.
zapisnik seje- Federacije JSKJ DRUŠTEV V DRŽAVI OHIO, ki se je vršila 7. aprila v Clevelandu, O. —
Predsednik Karel Škulj je o-tvoril sejo ob 10. uri dopoldne in je pozval članstvo k redu in k složnemu razmotrivanju v prid članstva in Jednote. Nato so bila čitana imena odbornikov Federacije; navzoči vsi. Tajnik Anton Vehar prečita zapisnik prejšnje seje, ki se sprejme z malim popravkom. Ta popravek se tiče zastopnikov društva št. 44 in društva št. 6, ki so bili na zadnji seji Federacije navzoči, pa jih zapisnik fiotične seje ne omenja.
Nato prevzame tajniško mesto nova izvoljena tajnica Ana Erbežnik, podpredsedniško mesto pa na apel vseh zastopnikov obdrži sobrat John Ujčič, ker j(. došlo iz Girarda poročilo, da novoizvoljeni podpredsednik Prevec zaradi zaposlenosti ne more sprejeti urada. Podpredsednik Federacije ostane torej št za naprej sobrat Ujčič.
Tajnica prečita pismo Zve"e JSKJ društev v zapadni Pena-sylvaniji, tikajoče se skupnega sestanka. Sklenjeno, da na ni-smo odgovori glavni nadzornik J. N. Rogelj. Nato je bilo pre-čitano pismo clevelandske Federacije SNPJ društev, v katerem pismu je poročan rezultat skupne prireditve, ki se je vršila 19., 20. in 21. septembra 1934 v S. N. Domu v Clevelandu. Prireditev je izpadla s primanjkljajem. od katerega odpade na Federacijo JSKJ društev $11.00. Sklenjeno, da se ta račun takoj poravna.
Nato se čitajo imena društvenih zastopnikov. Za društvo št. 6: John Černe, Joe Jerman in Frank Jančar; — za društvo št. 37: Karol Škulj, Anton Vehar, Joseph	Rudolf	in	L.	J.

Od omenjenih pa od posameznih društev niso bili vsi zastopniki navzoči. Brez zastopnikov na tej seji so bila društva št. 155, 157, 160, 173, 180, 186 in 195. Sklep zbornice je, da se na o-menjena društva apelira, da pošljejo svoje zastopnike na prihodnje zborovanje. Zdaj je treba, da pričnemo z resnim in stvarnim delom, kajti prihod-
nje leto se bo vršila že konvencija, in vršila se bo v naši metropoli.
Iz poroči! zastopnikov je razvidno, da se v splošnem vsa nanašajo na razmotrivanje pravil, kar je tudi v resnici vsaj sedaj ena najvažnejših nalog Federacije.
Od glavnih odbornikov so navzoči: urednik Nove Dobe Anon J. Terbovec, predsednik nadzornega odbora John Kum-še, prvi nadzornik Janko N. Rogelj, ter drugi gl. podpredsednik Louis M. Kolar; od gl. porotnega odbora je navzoč predsednik istega, sobrat Anton O-kolish. Zbornica izrazi zahva-o in priznanje vsem, ker se udeležujejo sej in so pripravljeni vedno sodelovati z zastopniki društev.
Na poziv predsednika, če želi kateri gl. odbornikov kaj povedati, poroča sobrat A. J. Ter-sovec o jako stvarnem delovanju Zveze JSKJ društev v zapadni Pennsylvaniji, in izraža upanje, da bosta v doglednem času v gotovih ozirih skupno nastopali Zveza v Pennsylvaniji in Federacija v Ohio. Obe skupini imata iste plemenite cilje za korist članstva. Sobrat John Kumše poživlja u-pravni odbor Zveze in vse zastopstvo, da postane bolj agilno. Sobrat J. N. Rogelj priporoča, da naj zastopniki priporočajo svojim društvom, da začnejo z razmotrivanjem pravil, da se bomo v lepi slogi pripravili na prihodnjo konvencijo. Sobrat Louis M. Kolar poroča o aktivnostih kegljaške lige ter vabi tudi starejše člane na prireditev, ki se bo vršila meseca maja, kar bo še razvidno iz poročil v našem glasilu. Sobrat Anton Okolish pojasni zbornici neka.j točk, ki spadajo v njegovo področje, obenem i<a priporoča, da najdemo pota, po katerih bomo dobili v našo organizacijo kar največ naše mladine.
V odbor za pravila so bili že na zadnji seji izvoljeni štirje člani; doda se še en član. Dalje se določi, da je predsednik tega odbora Karol Škulj, tajnik pa je Janko N. Rogelj.
Zastopnik Anton Vehar vabi zbornico na prireditev brezposelne akcije, ki se bo vršila meseca junija na Pintarjevih farmah. Vabilo se vzame na znanje. Odboru za pravila se da polno moč glede korespondence in poslovanja med članstvom, društvi in Jednoto; nastali stroški se pokrijejo iz fe-deracijske blagajne.
Dalje je bilo sklenjeno, da se v bodoče seje Federacije vršijo na vsaka dva meseca. Prihodnja seja se bo vršila v nedeljo 2. junija v S. N. Domu v Lorainu, O.; pričela se 'bo ob 1. uri popoldne.: Predsednik Škulj apelira na zastopnike, da naj se v cbilem številu udeležijo prihodnje seje, ker le tako bomo dosegli, kar članstvo pričakuje od naših zborovanj.
Nekateri zastopniki bi še želeli razmotrivati o raznih zadevah, toda to je bilo treba odložiti na pozneje, ker je bila ura že pozna in je druga organizacija želela pričeti sejo v isti dvorani. Obljubljeno je bilo, da bo na prihodnji seji dovolj časa za razmotrivanje, pa, če se isto vrši vse popoldne in vso noč do ponedeljka zjutraj. Predsednik je nato zaključil sejo ob 1. uri popoldne. — Za Federacijo JSKJ društev v državi Ohio:
Ana Erbežnik, tajnica.

MATT-A PETCHNICK-A
ki se je od nas podal k mirnemu počitku 16. aprila 1933.
Britki bil je čas ločitve,	v tihem grobu zdaj počiv^'
ko za vedno si zaspal;	a spomin na Te živi,
oh, kako smo vsi želeli,	kakor cvetke na gomili,
da bi še pri nas ostal!	ko pomlad jih prebudi.
Svet za, nas je kakor tmina, kar si Ti zapustil nas.
Rana ta je prevelika, ki je ne zaceli čas!

MARY HOCHEVAR
ki se je za vedno poslovila od nas 10. aprila 1934.
Pred letom dni te kruta smrt zavila je v mrtvaški prt, zadala nama srčnih ran, ki čas jih zdravi le zaman.
Počivaj mimo, sladko spi, kjer truda in trpljenja ni; saj veš, med nami ni daljav, ker druži večna nas ljuba v!	rlli.
Žalujoča ostala: Frank Hochevar, soprog; Henry Hochevar. 11 Chisholm, Minnesota, 10. aprila 1935.
