Kampanjski odmevi
Prvi mesec kampanje za razsirjenje Prosvete prinesel čez 200 novih naročnikov; čez 60 agitatorjev na delu; Jankovich daleč v ospredju
Prvi mesec jubilejne kampanje za razširjenje dnevnika Prosvete je za nami. Rezultati so pred nami in lahko rečemo, da so povoljni. Ako bo s to kampanjo tako kot z vsako novo stvarjo, to je, da vzame nekaj časa, da pride v tir in pravi zamah, tedaj lahko pričakujemo v prihodnjih mesecih še boljših rezultatov.
Za tako domnevanje seveda nimamo nobene podlage, kajti od ustanovitve našega dnevnika pred 30 leti je to prva kampanja za razširjenje lista. Polje za nove naročnike je med nami sicer omejeno, kajti naseljevanje iz starega kraja je bilo ustavljeno že pred več kot 20 leti, starejša generacija izumira, tukaj rojena mladina pa na splošno ne obvlada slovenščine, jezika svojih staršev. Kljub temu pa je polje še dovolj široko za razširjenje Prosvete.
Se je tisoče slovenskih delavcev v tej deželi, med njimi Še lepo število članov SNPJ iz starejše generacije, ki še niso naročniki Prosvete. Ako bi se po vseh naših rjaselbinah Sirom Amerike in tudi Kanade in pri vseh društvih razvila kampanja za razširjenje Prosvete, bi število njenih naročnikov lahko narastlo za nekaj tisoč.
Za uresničenje tega zaželjenega cilja je potrebno, da naša jubilejna kampanja dobi odmev v vseh naselbinah širom dežele, posebno pa pri vseh društvih. Dobro bi bilo, ako bi ta kampanja dobila žilav odmev tudi v Kanadi, kjer je precej naših rojakov, toda naš dnevnik je tam le slabo razširjen. Če bi se naši Kanadčani zavzeli, bi gotovo lahko pridobili vsaj par sto novih naročnikov Prosveti.
Ne vemo, koliko odmeva je dobil razpis te kampanje pri naših društvih na splošno. Ako je bila okrožnica iz upravništva Prosvete le prečitana na seji in "vzeta na znanje " ni bil pa podvzet noben konkreten korak za razširjenje dnevnika vsaj med članstvom, tedaj ie bilo škoda papirja in poštne znamke. Stvar seveda še ni prepozna in se lahko še popravi.
Ako društvo v vaši naselbini ni pod vzelo nobene akcije za aktivno sodelovanje v tej kampanji, tedaj pa lahko sami pričnete z agitacijo. Posebno v manjših naselbinah je znano, kdo je naročen na kak list — kdo prejema Prosveto ln kdo ne. Vsakemu tajniku je tudi znano, kdo izmed članov je naročnik na dnevnik in kdo ne. Kdor še ni, skušajte ga pridobiti. Naročnina je nizka v primeri z drugimi listi in naš dnevnik tudi vreden, da prihaja v sleherno delavsko hišo. Toda sam od sebe st na bo razširil; treba je nekoga, ki bo šel od hiše do hiše in skušal pridobiti rojake, da se na-rocdPfMiiuiHc to! *• Pišite* ne uprevn ištvo Prosvete in vam ho poslalo potrebne listine in navodila. Pri tem boste lahko zaslužili vsaj za tobak in vožnjo in povrhu boste dobili še nagrado! Sigurno je, da pri tem ne bo nihče obogatel, čeprav bi imel 100% provizije. Vse to je seveda postransko, gonilna sila je prepričanje!
Kot smo rekli v začetku, je rezultat prvega meseca naše jubilejne kampanje zadovoljiv, s strani nekaterih agitatorjev celo dober, na primer pri našem Tonetu Jankoviehu v Clevelandli izboren! Še predno je potekel prvi mesec kampanje, je že poslal 43 novih celoletnih naročnikov. Sicer pa o svoji agitaciji sam sproti poroča in čitatelji lahko vidijo, da se je nai Tone resno zavzel za razširjenje dnevnika v Clevelandu. (Bravo, Tone!) Naj bi bi pri tem delu imel mnogo posnemalcev tako v domači naselbini, ki je dovolj velika in bi potrebovala več Jankovlchev, kakor tudi širom Amerike in Kanade!
Na drugem mestu je naša pridna delavka Rose Radovich v Pue-blu, kjer je zapadna slovenska metropola. Rose je komaj končala kampanjo za nove člane in se takoj zopet podala v kampanjo za razširjenje Prosvete. Prvi mesec jc nalovila 13 novih naročnikov, od teh 12 celoletnih. Da bi imeli podobno Rose Radovich v vsaki naselbini! Ona je seveda tudi tajnica svojega društva — Orla št. 21. Orlovčani, pojdite ji na roke, kajti ona, kot noben agitator ali tajnik, nima z rožami postlano!
Na tretjem mestu sta naša znana agitatorja Tone Zornik v Penn-sylvaniji in Louis Barborkh v Milwaukeeju, vsak z osmimi novimi naročninami, od teh po dve polletni. Takoj za njimi je njup kolega Frank Cvetan iz Johnstowna s 6.5 naročninami. Po šest pa so jih dobili: Joeeph Snoy v Bridgeportu, ki se Je te dni pods! v bolnišnico (tvoje želje so naše želje, Jože!), Frank Udovich iz Chicaga, John Goršek iz Springfielda in Joaeph Petrič iz Spring Glena, Utah. Jote Vidmar iz Milwaukeejs se je oglssil s 4.5, Frank Tabornik iz Detrolts s tremi in MIlan Medvešek (pomožni urednik) z dvema in pol.
Prvi mesec kampanje je bilo na delu 61 agitatorjev, ki so pridobili po enega ali več novih naročnikov. Med temi je 39 tajnikov, drugi so Pa udarniki brez sarže. Ostali (neimenovani) so pri-dobili po enega sli dva nova nsročnika. (V tej koloni bomo imenovali vse one, ki pridobe več kot dvs nsročnika, na častno listo pa dali ene, ki pridobe pet aH več novih naročnikov.)
Upamo, da se v bližnji bodočnost Javilo naših udarnikov s saržo in brez nje podvoji, potroji, popeteri ali podeseteri. Tudi slednje se lahko zgodi, kajti v Ameriki in Kanadi je stotine naših naaelbin, stotine društev SNPJ in še precej tisoč slovenskih domov, kamor Prosveta še ne prihaja dnevno. La če naša kampanja oživi po vseh naselbinah, bomo lahko rekli, da je dosegla maksimalni uspeh.
Najvažnejšo "novico" pa smo prihranili za zaključek tega poročila. Ta je, da je prvi mesec prinesel Prosveti 202 nova naročnika; od teh je bilo 184 celoletnih. Želeli bi, da bi se v drugem mesecu to število podvojilo. To se lshko zgodi, ako malo poagitirajo za Prosveto vs» oni naši čitstehl. kateri imsjo dobro mnenje o njej in katerim je list kot tudi SNPJ prt srcu. Pomnite, da dobrs beseda vedno zaleže «n prej ali slej omehča tudi one, ki poznsjo le besedo — "ne" Nsprej za tisoč, dva tisoč novih naročnikov!

Vsaka izmed teh brošur je izšla v 30,000 izvodih, od katerih ja bilo poslanih okrog 6000 Jugoslovanom v tej deželi, ostale pa so bile poslane Američanom, kakor tudi osebairt v Kanadi, Angliji ln v več drugih deželah.

NAČRT GLEDE PREISKAVE NEMŠKIH CON ZAVRŽEN
Nesporazum med zave*' niikimi vojaškimi avtoritetami
NOVA POLITIČNA STRANKA PRI-ZNANA
> Berlin. 4. jun.—Zavezniške avtoritete za kontrolo Nemčije so zavrgle načrt glede imenovanja posebne komisije, katero naj bi tvorili reprezentsntl štirih velesil—Rusije, Amerike, Velike Britanije in Francije. Komisija nsj bi vodila preiskavo napredovanja demilitarizacije v štirih okupacijskih conah v Nemčiji.
Ustanovitev preiskovalne ko' misije je predlagal ameriški državni tajnik Byrnes na nedavni konferenci zunanjih ministrov štirih velesil v Parizu. On je skušal utihniti neuradne obdol-žitve, da Rusija in Velika Britanija vzdržujeta nemške oborožene sile v svojih consh.
Obdolžitve so bile, da Rusija še vedno drži dva milijona nemških vojnih ujetnikov in ds širi med njimi komunistično propagando, Velika Britanija pa pruske vojaške čsstnike. Člsni zsvezniškega sveta zs kontrolo Nemčije se niso mogli sporszu-meti o vprsšsnju demilitarizacije Nemcev v okupacijskih consh. Kdo je preprečil ustanovitev preiskovalne komisije, poročilo ne omenja.	■»#
Zavezniški svet je informiral berlinsko vojaško vlado o priznanju nove nemške politične stranke, ki je bila nedavno formirana. Ta se imenuje zveza socialne enotnosti ln tvorijo Jo socialisti in komunisti. Strsnka je bila ustanovljena na komunistični konvenciji v Berlinu in I-ma oporo v Moskvi.
Nova stranka bo demonstrirala svojo politično moč pri vo litvah v Berlinu prihodnji me *ec. To bodo prve volitve, odkar so zavezniki zavzeli mesto.
Člani zavezniškega sveta so se
zedinili glede izenačenja odmerkov Živil v vseh okupacijskih conah v Nemčiji. Sprejeli so tu di program glede znižanja števila brezposelnih nemških de lavcev v industrijskih središčih.

Predkonvenčne razprave
-JTAJ SUGESTIJ
Negaciji 13. redne
COKVENCIJE Auburn. M - Predkonven
s™ razprave so še jako redke in žalostno, da se članstvo tako Ljo zanima za jednotine pro-olc-me Do sedaj so imeli dobre sugestije J. Radelj, K. Krainz, J ^ in J. Vidmar. Želim, d i bi njihove sugestije upoštevali Smernice Prosvete naj ostanejo take kot so, zato ni potrebne akšne nove resolucije. Glavn: odbor naj ima popolno pravicc nad urednikom in če bi zavozil t tira, naj ga spravi v tir, kakoi 11 je to zgodilo v preteklosti. V Prosveti naj bi bilo dovo jeno oglaševati kandidaton seh političnih strank, kater, imajo delavske principe in smer nice; prav tako naj bi dobili pod ioro v listu vsi, ki so proti sve-ovni reakciji in tretji svetovn vojni. Z denarjem, ki bi ga do tli za politične oglase, bi poten lahko po enem letu po konven iji pričeli izdajati list tudi ol bo ta h.
Bolniške obiske se naj bi iz jučilo za dobo 60 dni pri vsel
siih bolnikih, ki so se podvrgl eikim operacijam, ali pri tistih so Si polomili noge; dalje zt ihromele in onemogle stare čla naj bi bolniške obiske popol-loma odpravili, seve s sporazu-nom društvenega odbora. Zs ostale pa naj bodo v veljavi bol-iski obiski tako kot so sedaj. Operacije. Pri našem društvu mo imeli dva slučaja. Operira-sta bili dve članici za bolezni-za katero pravila ne določajo obene operacijske odškodnine Vva je bila na bolniški listini G Ini in je prejela $25 iz sklada zrednih podpor. Druga pa je >ila bolna 44 dni in tri tedne ni nogla stopiti na noge, toda iz zrednega sklada ni dobila niče-r. To je bila napaka! Iz glav-lega urada so nam poročali, da ake slučaje določa glavni zdrav-lik. Jaz verujem, da je naš lavni zdravnik pošten mož, tote ne vidi bolnika, mu je ezko soditi kako težka in ne-arna je bila operacija. V takih slučajih bi bilo potreb-o, da bi glavni zdravnik prišel zvezo z okrajnim zdravnikom lokalnimi društvenimi uradni in na ta način bi bilo naj-ize doseči sporazum. Za nad 65 let stare člane, ki o onemogli in brez dela, toda l«ni najmanj 30 let, naj bi jed->ota plačevala asesment do $600 »nrtnine in $1 bolniške podpore, nmerno vsoto za taka izplačila «naj bi vzelo iz nadsolventno-ti smrtninskega sklada, oziroma katerega drugega vira. Poviti asesment pa ne bi bilo u-fcstno, če je mogoče dobiti de-
iz kakega drugega vira. Zgornje sugestije sem pobral Pogovori s člani SNPJ in wn, da bi se jih upoštevalo. John Home*, tajnik 335 SNPJ.
*ako znižati število delegatov Jaz bi priporočal, da bi volili po iistriktih in tako znižali delegacijo. Ako je kooperacija med članstvom, Ima eden kot drug i priliko kandidirati, pa naj bo dan majhnega ali pa velikega društva.
Ako bi imeli na konvenciji približno 150 delegatov in glsv-le odbornike, bi bilo to primerno število in zadostovalo vsem potrebam. Vsaka konvencija bi lahko skončala s svojim delom v štirih dneh. Konvencije se naj bi vršile tam, kjer je najbolj >sredotočeno članstvo, in sicer v »ni izmed štirih središčnih dr tovah, kjer je največ članstva. 5 tem bi prihranili tudi na vožnji.
Na konvenciji bi lahko pri hranili dosti časa, ako bi se delegacija bolj ' držala dnevnega ceda, namreč da ne bi ponavlja li ene in iste stvari. To se je UcuŠalo 1. 1941 na konvenciji v Pittsburghu. V debatah naj se ioločl vsakemu govorniku čas takoj od začetka in ne šele, ko te potrati od štiri do šest ur.
Bnako je priporočljivo, da ne >1 čitali na konvenciji melen-:ostna pisma in pozdrave. Kar je kaj res važnega, naj čita kon-venčni tajnik. .Imena govornikov in predlagateljev ni treba zapisati v zapisnik in s tem se ^odo debate skrajšale. Na zadnji konvenciji smo potratili pre-ej časa glede sedeža prihodnje konvencije in bilo je veliko brezpomembnih govorov glede tega. Delegat Blatnik iz Minne-sote nas je prepričal, da slovenske manke na severu znajo peči najboljšo potico, zato se bo letos tam vršila konvencija.
Mnenja sem, da bi zadostovalo, da bi napisali mesta, ki žele konvencijo, dan ali dva pred volitvami na tablo, nakar bi se glasovalo javno aH pa tajno. Enako bi bilo priporočljivo, da bi glavni odbor sam odločil sedež konvencije leto pred konvencijo.
Morda bo kdo mislil, da so moje ideje neumestne, ampak časi se spreminjajo jako hitro in v takih slučajih so dragi. (Ostalo bo priobčeno v dnevniku.— Ured.)	J. Park©.

malo odgovora dopisnikom razprave o smernicah prosvete
Chicago. Ill__Br. Barbič zelo
nasprotuje, da bi prihodnja konvencija dala gl. odboru moč določati, katere kandidate za politične urade se sme ob času volitev priporočati volilcem v našem glasilu. To pa največ iz bojazni, če sprejmemo tako določbo v pravila, bo prej ko slej nastala konfuzija, ker bodo razne skupine zahtevale, da se da prostor za propagando njihovim kandidatom.
Nasprotno br. Radelj priporoča, da se določanje prepusti okrožnim federacijam SNPJ in naj one odločajo, katere kandidate ae sme oglašati. Moje mnenje je, da ne bi bilo pravilno, če bi upoštevali nasvete br. Barblča In prav tako se ne strinjam s priporočilom br. Radija. Dozdeva se ml, da je srednja pot najboljša, ker v dobi štirih let lahkb nastanejo slučaji, ko bi bilo v našo korist podpirati posamezne kandidate ali indorsi-rati kako stranko. Za vse take slučaje je priporočljivo, da ne vežemo rok gl. odboru.
Br. Molek pravi, da se motim, ko sem zadnjič omeni), da je bil pred leti on nasproten, da bi bile smernice Prosvete določene v pravilih. Priporoča mi, naj pogledam v pravila, katera so bila veljavna do 1. julija 1937. To mu priznam, opomnim ga pa na mo-

,r' vsled tega ne bi I- •10 Mm * i*Javo» d® je bil poražen a i/hoda kot povila- v reeolucijskem odboru na konvenciji in ne v odboru za pravila.
Molek tudi omenja, da moja zahteva o prepovedi komentar- začetek
Kar se pa tiče opazke, kam gledam, ko ne vidim komentarja pod njegovim dopisom, naj omenim to, da Jih pod prejšnjimi dopisi ni bilo, če ga je urednik prilepil v Prosveti, v kateri sta bila priobčena. moj in njegov dopis, ne sme za to dolžiti mojo kratkovidnost. Dozdeva pa se mi, da br. Molku ni preveč za smernice Prosvete, pač pa je imenitno izrabil prostor v tej razpravi za polemiko s sedanjim urednikom, kar bo mogoče pripomoglo, da prihodnja konvencija ne bo sprejela nobenih smernic za Pros veto v bodoča pravila.
Br. Vidmar pravi: "Toleranca je lepa čednost za posameznika in posebno potrebna raznim dopisnikom, ne gre mi pa v glavo, kako naj toleranca v jednotinih pravilih določa delavske smernice." O tem vprašanju so med nami lahko različna mnenja. V dopisu, priobcenemu v isti številki Prosveti kot moj, br. Molek ugotavlja, da demokracija vključuje toleranco in kdor ni demokratičen, hi toleranten in kdor ni toleranten, ni demokratičen.
Temu je pa razlaga br. Vidmarja popolnoma nasprotna, ko pravi: "Ako se v pravila vključi 'ameriško demokracijo', kar priporoča br. Molek, bo Prosveta zagovarjala sedanji sistem kapitalizma. Ako se besedo 'demokracija' nadomesti s 'toleranco', pa prihodnji urednik lahko priporoča Članom fašistično politiko."
Kdor pozna zgodovino naše jednote, bo priznal, da je strah br. Vidmarja, da bi Prosveta zagovarjala kapitalizem ali 'fašizem, brez vsake podlage, ker naša pot je ravna in se polagoma nagiba bolj na levo kot na desno. Za dokaz nam lahko služijo Molkove resolucije, sprejete na zadnji konvenciji, katere so povzročile njegovo resignacljo. Sedaj pa nam zopet Isto vsiljuje br. Vidmar v obliki demokratičnega socializma, kot edinega rešitelja navadnega človeka.
Dozdeva se mi, da je to priporočilo zelo slaba lučka, ki naj bi kazala pot našemu članstvu v sedanjih časih, ko so radikalni preobrati na vseh delih sveta, in ne bi zadovoljila velike večine članstva, katera je že velik korak naprej. Radi tega je potrebno, da smo tolerantni In skušamo razumevati radikalne ideje, katere spreminjajo družabni red, namesto da bi capljali za demokratičnim socializmom, kateri je samo ovira za razmah radikalnih sprememb.
Dalje pravi br. Vidmar, da br. Alesh niti kdo drugi se ne bo upal dokazovati, da je večina članstva pri SNPJ svobodomiselnih principov. Zakaj je stavil to vprašanje, ne vem. Vem, da je imel vsak član pred pristopom v jednoto na izbiro katoliške organizacije, saj so že obstojale tri, predno je bila ustanovljena SNPJ. Večina je pristopila k jednoti, ker je imela svobodomiselna načela. In če se manjšina ni nikdar skozi vso dobo ustanovitve pa do danes, upala spremeniti teh načel, je pač dobro vedela, de je večina članstva svobodomiselnega principa. Trditev, da svobodomisleci pri SNPJ ne tvorijo veČina članstva, je stara stvar in vedno prihaja od naših idejnih nasprotnikov. To je znano vsem članom, kateri poznajo zgodovino jednote.

Odprta noč in dan so groba vrata, kaj znancev je zasula že lopata! Zadnjo sredo sem poročal v tej koloni, da se stanje br. Frank Zvokla Izboljšuje, v petek popoldne pa je bila nenadoma naznanjena njegova smrt. Tako gredo naši društveniki in pionirji drug za drugim.
Pokojni Zvokel je bil eden tistih karakterjev, osebnost, ki se je vsakemu na mah priljubila. Ljudi je imel rad, ljudje pa njega. Bil je zaveden Slovenec in zvest član društva Slavije 1 SNPJ. Rad je pomagal na društvenih veselicah in zahajal na seje. Tudi vsa njegova družina je včlanjena v našem društvu. V imenu društva Slavije izražam globoko sožalje užaloščeni družini.
veliko storili za ataro domovino in še vedno delujejo z vso paro, izražam le začudenje, da nismo do sedaj i*po*lovall avdijence bodisi s predsednikom, zunanjim tajnikom ali drugimi osebnostmi v Washingtonu. Vsekakor bi se morali bolj potruditi v tej smeri

Frank Česen na drugem mes
tu v današnji Prosveti izraža dvom, da bo odprto pismo, ki sem ga pisal ohijskemu gover-nerju Lauschetu, dobilo zaželjen odmev. Najbrže ne, toda potrebno je bjlo, da je bilo končno javno povedano vsem našim rojakom, da "naš" France ni storil do sedaj svoje dolžnosti do tistega naroda, iz katerega je ižšel. Osebno sem prepričan, če bo nanj dovolj pritiska, posebno sedaj, ko se bližajo volitve, se bo zganil. O ameriških politikih si lahko mislimo kar hočemo, toda fakt je, da zelo prisluškujejo ljudskemu glasu, in če je ta dovolj močan, se celo v Beli hiši zganejo. Na žalost pa je ljudstvo v splošnem brezbrižno in se ne poganja za svoje pravice in tako ga politiki po svoje obračajo in mrcvarijo. Torej, če bodo ohijski Slovenci oz. Jugoslovani resno pritisnili na gov. Lauscheta, Be bo tudi on zganil na visokem stolu, kar je njegova dolžnost.
Nekdo ml je dejal, da se Lau-sche ne upa potegniti za Slovenca v Washingtonu zato, ker se boji ohljskfh vblltfcev italijanske narodnosti, ki Jih je lepo število. Ne vem, če je temu tako ali ne, toda moje mnenje je, kdor so ne upa postaviti za svoj narod, ne more biti dober Američan. Vzemimo za primero bivšega new-yorškega župana La Guardijo. Leta 1919, ko je bilo prav tako odprto vprašanje glede meje med Italijo in Jugoslavijo, je on pred senatnim odsekom nastopil v prilog Italije in trdil, da je Reka italijansko mesto. La Guardia se tudi sedaj poteguje za Italijo, on je namreč "politični svetovalec" odbora "Per un trattato di pace giusta". Ta odbor se bori, da bi Trst ostal Italiji. Imel je v vaeh večjih dnevnikih svoj oglas, v katerem apelira na Američane, naj podpro-jo Italijane v njih težnjah. Seveda, La Guardijevega imena se poslužujejo v polni meri. Centrala tega odbora "za pravičen mir" z Italijo se nahaja v New Yorku. Torej, če se Li Guardia ne boji, da bi se kompromitiral pred Amerikancl slovanskega pokolenja, se tudi Lauschetu ne bi bilo treba bati, da bi se kompromitiral pred Američani italijanskega pokolenja.
6e nekaj. Po prvi vojni smo bili Slovenci in Jugoslovani mu lo poznani. V*aj v tistih časih le mnogi Slovenci niso ve deli čigavi so. Nazi vali so se za Avstrijce, "Granish people" etc Tedaj tudi nismo imeli nobenega Adamiča v Ameriki in ne go-vemerja. Tudi slovenski narod v splošnem ni bil toliko poznan kot danes, ko so slovenski oz. jugo slovanski partizani zadivill ves svet s svojim junaltvom. Vendar pa je po prvi vojni odbor Ju-(oslovanskegr republičanskepa združenja izposloval zaališanje pred senatnim »dsekom. V tisti deputaciji, ki jo je senatni odsek zasliševal, so bili Etbln Kristan Frank Kerže Albin Skubic. Fi lip Oodina, pokojni Hlače In nekaj drugih oaeb.

CLEVELAND JE PRISPEVAL ŽE 40 TISOČ ZA ML. BOLNICO
Cleveland. O.—Na Spominski dan dne 30. maja je zopet donela mogočna slovenska iwsem z odra SND na St. Clair ave. Ob tej prilike se je namreč vršil dobrodelni koncert v prid min dinsko bolnišnice za Slovenijo katerega so podali pevci Glasbene matice, Zarje in Planine pod pokroviteljstvom podr. št. 39 SANS. Udeležba ju bilu vzlic krasnemu vremenu—lepa in na vzoči so z odobravanjem sledili v z pored u.
Prva je nastopila Planina iz Maple Heightsa, Fantje so iztisnili iz sebe največ, kar so mogl —le Žal, du so izbrali pesmi, k zahtevajo številnejših glasov Zbor je vodil F. Vautur.
Njim je sledila Glasbena nrit tica, ki je vključila v svoj spe rod poleg narodnih pesmi tud klasične stvari. Ker ima Mati ca dobre pevske moči, so svoj' nalogo tudi to pot sijsjno dovi Uli. Občinstvu so ugajale zlu.v t narodne pesmi. V njih progra mu je nustopil tudi znuni viol! nist Frank Slejko. Zborov p« vovodju je Ivan Zorman, pianist kinja pa Vera Milavec Slejko.
Zadnji na vzporedu je bila Zai ju. V prvem delu nam je me lan zbor podal devet preprostih toda učinkovitih partizanski* pesmi. Te pesmi so tembol značilne, ker so se rodile ob naj hujšem trpljenju slovenskcg naroda. Pisane so s srečno krvjo hrabrih borcev za svobod) njih domovine. Občinstvo je > razumevanjem sledilo pevcen ter Jih nagradilo z burnim ploc kanjem. Prizor so Izpopolnil partizanski kostumi in orožje V drugem delu so nam Zarjan podali že znano Vodopivčovo o pereto "PovodnJI mož."

Glasovi iz naših nase
V tem članku se ne bomo spuščali v teoretična razglabljanja o smernicah Prosvete In jednote, marveč se bomo dotaknili bolj prozaičnega problema v zvezi z glasilom aH srednjo izdajo Pro-svete. Vprašanje, ki ga imamo v mislih, se tiče predvsem angleške sekcije, toda tudi slovenski del nI izvzet.
Jednota izdaja Prosveto In mladinsko revijo The Voice of Vouth, ne zgolj za svoje lastne organizacijske in društvene potrebe, marveč tudi za vzgojevalne namene svojega članstva. Kot pravimo, človek ne ilvi samo od kruha, dasi je kruh naša najbolj elementarna potreba, marveč mu je potrebna tudi duševna hrana za razvoj svojega uma, za poplemenltenje avojega srca, za razširjenje in utrditev socialne in delavske zavesti. Le človek, kateremu je prijatelj dober časopis, dobra revija in dobra knjiga, bo prišel do širokega obzorja, kakor to zahteva od vsakega poedinca čas, v katerem živimo, socialna in delavska zavest mu pa omogočita, da se zna v življenju uvrstiti v tiste vrste, kamor spada in kjer so njegovi interesi.
To vzgojno misijo si je postavila naša jednota kmalu po rojstvu. Bila je prva slovenska podporna organizacija v tej deželi, dasi ne najstarejša, ki je ustanovila svoj^ lastno glasilo. Bila je tudi prva in do danes edina slovenska podporna organizacija, ki je pred 30 leti ustanovila svoj dnevnik za propagiranje svojih delavskih idej, za širjenje duševnega obzorja in socialne zavesti svojega članstva. To je storila, ker je članstvo tako zahtevalo. In članstvo je to zshtevalo, ker je čutilo to potrebo—potrebo po lastnem delsvskem dnevniku, po lsstnl izobrszbi. Iz istega razloga je bil pred 25 leti ustanovljen tudi Mladinski list.
Po svoji skromnosti to nalogo vršita obe nsšl publikaciji— Prosveta med stsrejšo generseljo, Glas mladine pa med našim naraščajem. Vse to seveda v mejah naših sposobnosti kot navadnih delavcev, ki nismo trgali hlsč po univerzah, marveč podplate po tovarnah in rudnikih in gozdovih. Profesorskega ali profesionalnega učenjaštva ni med nami. Svoje delo vršimo vsi kot delavci, in to s ponosom, da smo delavci! Pri tem nimamo v mislih samo uredniškega ali glavnega štaba, marveč tudi naše članstvo, naše dopisnike, ki tudi oblikujejo obe publikaciji po svoje!
Kar leži vašemu uredniku na srcu, je sledeče;
Naša starejša generacija, vzgojena več ali manj v delavskem duhu, to je vsaj kar sc aktivnega članstva tiče, se pomiče k svojemu zatonu. Čez deset, petnajst let marsikoga izmed nas, ki smo storili veliko za jednoto in jednota za nas in kateremu je organizacija pri srcu, bo več med nami, drugi bomo ali bodo deset, petnajst let starejši, večinoma ne daleč od svojega groba. To je naravni zakon življenja in zato naj ne bo nihče melanholičen. Prej ali slej bomo šli drug za drugim v večni pokoj, orgsnizscijo, držsvo in civilizacijo pa prepustili našim zanamcem—mlajši, tuksj rojeni in tukaj vzgojeni generaciji.
Kar nsm čestokrst vre po glavi, je vprašanje, kakšna bo nsšs jednota, v katero idejno smer bo krenila, ko omagajo oni, ki so jo dolgs lets požrtvovalno gradili in ji dajali smernice. Se bo li držala socislnih idej, ki so jih zasejall njeni pionirji in katerih smo se potem drugi oprijeli in so nam postale velike svetinje, ali se bo razvila v navadni inšurenčnl biznis in poza-blls ns svojo svetlo delsvsko preteklost?
To ključno vprašanje mora rojiti po glavi vsakemu delavsko zavednemu in socialno orientiranemu članu, kateremu je jednota pri srcu. Preko tega more iti brezbrižno le oni, ki ae drži načela sebičnosti, češ, kaj mi mar, če raste trava ali ne, ko mene
ne bo . . .
Glede odgovora na gornje vprašanje bi bili radi optimistični, toda naj odkrito povemo, da smo čeatokrat pesimistični. S tem ne mislimo reči, da imamo slabo mišljenje o ameriški mladini, a naših članih in članicah iz mlajše, tukaj rojene generacije, ki bodo naši nasledniki tudi v jednoti. Na splošno imajo fsktično veliko boljšo formalno ali šolsko izobrazbo kot smo jo imeli mi, ki smo prišli iz starega kraja v cvetju svoje mladosti In si tuksj ustanovili svojo novo domovino. Ogromna večina nas je prišla v to deželo le za silo pismena—z nekaj razredi ljudske šole, v kateri je bil krščanski neuk najvažnejši učni predmet. Zelo so bili redki oni—niti eden od sto—ki so v starem kraju pohajali srednjo šolo. V Ameriki, zlaati po mestih, pa mora danes vaak otrok tudi izdelati srednjo šolo. Kvaliteta v ameriških šolah je res podvržena kritiki, kajti tudi tukaj ni šolska vzgoja tisto, ksr bi morala biti, toda naša mlajša generacija je sigurno ns veliko višji stopnji formalne izobrazbe kot smo bili mi, ki smo prišli v to deželo iz stare Avstrije.
Kljub temu pa imamo velike dvome glede vprašanja, kaj se bo zgodilo z jednoto, ko pomrje starejša generacija, katera jo je gradila tako nesebično in z velikim idealizmom. In dvome imamo vsled tegs, ker smo v zadnjih 20 letih veliko zamudili in tudi grešili, ker smo med mladino in v angleški sekciji Pro svete vse preveč naglašali—šport in vse premalo idejno in kul turno stran jednote. Naravna p<«lcdics tega Je. da Je danes "idejna" podlaga angleško poslujočih društev—šport . . .
Nsj nihče ne miali, de Je vaš urednik proti Športu. Ta Je potreben posebno mladini. Toda če bomo gradili društva in jfdnoto na golem športu, ae bojimo, da ae bo vsa organizacija prej sli slej znašla na—pesku Krivda ne bo na atrani mladine marveč ns strani starejše generacije, predvsem na strani vodstva jednote. Kje in kako smo grešili v zadnjih 20 letih, in sicer največ pri Prosveti, bomo povedali prihodnjo sredo.
Včasih Je gojil tople simpatije do njih domovine—Slovenije. Ta Slovenija se danes obupno bori proti krivični zahtevi sovražnice naših zaveznikov v pro-šli vojni—Italiji—za posest Trsta in Primorske. Iz političnih razlogov podpirata italijanske težnje tudi Amerika in Anglija. Kakšen bo izid, bo pokazala bodočnost. Ampak naša dolžnost je, da napravimo v tem oziru čimvečji pritisk na Washington In Columbus. Naj slišijo oblasti, da stojimo ameriški Slovenci krepko na strani naših bratov za- njih pravične zahteve.
Še predno je Medvešek pisal pismo, so nekatere naše organizacije že odposlale zdolaj priob-čeno ali podobno pismo na go-vernerja F .J. Lauscheta, dočim ga bodo druge še poslale.
The Honorable Prank J. La uteha Governor of Ohio State Building Columbus. Ohio. Dear Mr. Governor:
We are sure that you are aware of what is going on st the "Big Four" Conference In Parit regarding the Jugoslav-Italian situstion. Our Min-ltiert of Peace from America teem to fhow that they are in favor of en-tlaving about 800,000 Slovenes and Croats In Trieste and other parts of Jugoslavia, that are under the rule of Italy.
We hope that you, as our Governor, with the aid of your friends, and Secretary of Slate, J. F. Byrnes, and our President, Mr. Truman, will do everything In your power to return Trieste to Jugoslavia, and all that has been taken away from her since World War I. We feel tha! the Slavs, after all the suffering they an dured, are entitled to these concot tiont since they wholeheartedly helped us defeat Fascism.
As a group we appeal to you, Mr. Governor, for your sincere coopers tion. Our members assure you of their full support.
Respectfully yours

PRIJATELJU V SPOMIN
Chicago, I1L — Nenadoma nas je zapustil. Nekaj tednov prej, 27. aprila, je Še prišel na sejo podružnice 2. SANSa, katere je bil predsednik. Po seji je šel na priredbo društva 631 SNPJ, drugi dan pa na koncert pevskega zbora Prešerna, kjer sva bila zadnjikrat skupaj. Bil je delaven in aktiven povsod, vedno med prvimi s prispevkimi za prizadete v stari domovini. Tak je bil prijatelj Louis Volk, katerega smo izgubili iz naše srede 15. maja 1946. Mnogokrat sva bila skupaj v privatni družbi, na priredbah naprednih društev, klubov in na sejah podružnice 2 SANSa, katere ustanovni član je bil tudi on, in sicer od meseca februarja 1943 in njen predsednik od začetka 1944 pa do zadnjega. Skupno sva hodila na seje skupnih čikaških podružnic SANSa, dalje na seje društva 86 SNPJ, katerega je bil točen in zvest blagajnik nepretrgoma šestnajsto leto.
Prijatelji, posetniki naših priredb, ste ga dobro poznali, kajti on vam je vsa ta leta prodajal trošne listke na vseh društvenih in SANSovih priredbah.
V Prosveti v domačih vesteh je bilo zapisano v obvestilu njegove smrti, da je bil eden izmed stebrov društva 86 SNPJ. To je resnica. Z njim smo izgubili veliko.
Dan po njegovem pogrebu je bila redna društvena seja in predsednik je izrazil sožalje In spregovoril nekaj besed v spomin umrlemu bratu in prijatelju. Zapisnikar je prečital zapisnik izredne seje — in kamor si pogledal po dvorani, si videl solzne oči. Vsi ga pogrešamo!
Pokojni prijatelj Louis Volk je bil rojen 5. maja 1894 v vasi Brezovici blizu Radovljice. V to deželo je prišel 1. 1920. Kot delavec je garal vse svoje življenje, da je lepo in v naprednem duhu vzgojil svoje otroke. "Slabo se je počutil" le nekaj mesecev, "bolan" je bil le kakih deset dni. Preminul je med o-peracijo v sredo, 15. maja.
Da je bil priljubljen in imel mnogo prijateljev, je bilo dokazano zadnjih par dni, ki je pred nami mirno počival v krsti, ob-oženi s številnimi šopki cvetlic in venci. Ne vem, koliko prijateljev ae je prišlo * poslovit od njega, vem pa, da mnogo iz vseh delov mesta in predmestij. V petek zvečer mu je nad 20 pevcev zbora Prešerna zapelo ganljive žalostinke v zadnje slovo. V soboto smo se pri odprti krsti zadnjič poslovili od njega ter ga spremili v zelo velikem številu na pokopališče Woodlawn, kjer ima čikaška federacija svoj prostor za svoje umrle Člane. Ob grobu je govoril v slovo Frank Zaitz, v Imenu društva pa predsednik Ludwig Katz.
Imel je mnogo prijateljev, bil Je dober mož in oče, mirnega značaja, dobrega srca, aktivnem v naprednem duhu, odkritosrčen ter družaben in takega ga bomo prijatelji ohranili v spominu.
Soprogi Johani, sinu, hčerki in drugim sorodnikom globoko sožalje!
John Turk.
PRITISK NA OOV. LAUSCHETA
Cleveland. O.—Pomožni urednik Proevete Milan Medvešek Je napisal sijajno odprto pismo Frank J. Lauschetu, governerju države Ohio, v katerem ga roti. da se pri svojih vplivnih prijateljih v Beli hiši zavzame za to. da bo dobila Jugoslavija Trst in oetale dele Primorske. Milan je velik idealist. Slovan in zave den delavec: Lauschetovo kari Jero Je sasledoval a ponosom. V nJem Je videl moža naših te ženj. Ampak ameriška politika ima svoje muhe. Zato Je dvomljivo, da bo to pismo dobilo ža željen odmev Zdi se. da fet bil uredniški članek v imenu Pro svetinlh naročnikov, ali Če ho čete. v imenu večine članstva j SNPJ mnogo bolj učinkovit.

NA ZNANJE ČLANICAM DRUŠTVA 130 SNPJ
Eveleth, Minn.—Članice društva Eveleth 130 SNPJ so sklenile na zadnji seji, da bomo vo lile delegatinjo in namestnico na prihodnji seji 9. junija, pričetek ob dveh popoldne v dvo rani SNPJ. Dolžnost vsega član stva je, da se udeleži te važne seje in si izvoli delegatinjo, da bo zastopala naše društvo in članstvo na konvenciji. Če ima katera kakšno priporočilo glede sprememb pravil, bo lahko podala na tej seji. Do sedaj se je še prav malo razpravljalo glede pravil v Prosveti, čeprav je konvencija pred durmi.
Pri našem društvu smo sprejeli pet članov, in sicer dva v odrasli oddelek in tri v mladinski. Pri družini Julia (Babnik) Johlnson so dobili hčerko. Ker je mama članica našega društva je vpisala tudi hčerko. Čestitke! Sestra Mary Križman je 12. julija lanskega leta izgubila nogo. letos. 7. maja, pa so ji odrezali drugo nogo. Veš. sestra Križman, članice društva 130
Središče Ljubljane
SNPJ sočustvujejo s teboj in se jim smiliš, toda pomagati ti ne morejo. Bodi potolažena, da nisi ti prva, ki so tako nesrečna. Veliko mladeničev je izgubilo ude v vojni in doma ter si sami sebi delajo korajžo. Vemo tudi, da nas vse še čakajo temni dnevi in se vrstimo drug za drugim. Taka je usoda človeškega življenja.
Na svidenje 9. junija ob dveh popoldne!
Joeephine Frantar, tajnica.
PROTEST IZ KANADE
Toronto, Kanada^—1Tudi naše rojake v Kanadi so presenetili članki, ki jih je pr4d kratkim objavil bivši urednik Prosvete I. Molek. V teh člankih so sa mi napadi na hrabre jugoslovanske boritelje, njihove voditelje in slovansko Rusijo.
Ako oseba, ki je član SNPJ skoro od ustanovitve, poleg tega pa tudi mnogo let gl. odbornik, ne razloči dobro od slabega, po tem'je najbolje za članstvo in jednoto, da se takih člankov kot jih piše br. Molek, ne objavlja več v Prosveti.
Mi smo še vfedno narod, ki se zaveda, da pripadamo narodu, ki se je junaško boril proti fašistični zverini in pri tem žrtvoval mnogo življenj za svobodo. Ta narod še vedno podpiramo pri njegovem delu za lepšo bodočnost Slovenije.
Uverjeni smo, da br. Molek nima simpatičarjev med članstvom SNPJ, ne v Zedinjenih državah ne v Kanadi, kajti to, kar je zapisal v svojih člankih, ne bi smelo najti mesta v Pro sveti.
Ta protest je bil predložen članstvu društva 648 SNPJ na seji 26. maja in soglasno sprejet.
J. Sherjak, predsednik, ' * Joeeph Petric, tajnik,
John Skrabec, blagajnik.
JANKOVICH USPEŠNO PRIDOBIVA. NOVE NAROČNIKE
Cleveland, O.—Zopet je mini lo teden dni, in sicer od 24. maja do 31. maja, ko pišem te vrstice. V tem času pa sem zopet pridobil nič manj kot 11 novih celoletnih, dobrih naročnikov, kateri bodo ostali trdni inzve sti.
Torej na novo so se naročili: John Samsa (član društva 26), Frank Šajn (312), Louis Kraus (142), Steve Lokar (312), Frank Fatur (147), Ivana Švigel, Grahovo, Slovenija, za katero je na ročil njen mož Frank Švigel, Frank Sustaršič (142), Mary Vo-grin (137), Frank Žigman (142), Frank Ipavec (614) in Frank Ri-barič.
Ko sem pretekli teden obiskoval članstvo SNPJ, sem vsakemu lepo in v zbranih besddah povedal o namenu mojega obia-ka ter vse lepo zapisal v moje knjižice in vsakemu posebej iz dal potrdilo s pripombo, da znaša celoletna naročnina toliko in toliko, nakar so sledili "copaki." Naletel sem tudi na nekatere, ki se zaenkrat niso naročili in dejali, da sedaj, ko prihaja poletje, bo vročina in vedno dosti dela po vrtih in farmah, zato nimajo ne prilike in ne časa za čitanje vseh časopisov, ker jih imajo že sedaj veliko. Vse take in podobne izgovore sem vzel na znanje in jih zapisal v posebno knjižico, tako da bodo prišli na vrsto v jeseni sli pa proti koncu naše kampanje.
Torej vsi tisti, ki ste mi obljubili, da se boste naročili pozneje, vedite in bodite prepričani, da vsa bo "večni popotnik" obiskal ob pravem času. Prišel bo k vam s smehljajočem obra zom In vas "pobaral," da obljuba dela dolg. Že kar naprej vam povem, da me boste težko odgnali iz vaše hiše, ne da bi izpolnili obljubo.
Kakor sem že zapisal, v pre teklem tednu mi je šlo še precei po sreči. Nikjer nisem naletel ns odpor ali na grdo besedo kajti ns vrata sem potrkal in spregovoril lepo besedo, na o-brszu pa mi je igral smehljaj. Seve, malo žvižganjs ni škodo-vslo. Tako ao tudi oni mene le po sprejeli. Dolžnost me veže. da ae vsem novim naročnikom in tudi drugim, ki sem jih obiskal. prav lepo zahvalim. Bodite mi zdravi in čitajte dnevnik Prosveto pazljivo.

PO&ILJANJE DENARJA V JUGOSLAVIJO
Chicago. 111.—Pogajanja med Združenimi državami In Jugoslavijo so bila zaključena glede poštnega denarnega prometa In zopet je mogoče pošiljati denar v Jugoslavijo potom mednarodnih denarnih nakaznic (International Money Orders). Pristojbina je predvojna*—to je, en odstotek za zneske po deset dolarjev: 10c za $10, 20c za $20, in tako dalje do $1 za $100. Ko kupite mednarodno denarno na kaznico, plačate v dolarjih, t tam bo izplačana v dinarjih po vrednosti, ki je bila določena pri pogajanjih.
Priporočljivo je tudi, da po šljete svojcem tam mednarodne pOVratne kupone (International Reply Coupons). Vsak kupon stane 9c, tam pa dobi na pošti za ta kupon znamko za navadno pismo v Ameriko. In ker stane jugoslovanska poštnina za navadno pismo do 20 gramov dinarjev, si lahko predstavljate, kako veseli bodo vaših kupo nov.	Jacob Zupan.

Cainkarja, v katerem vpraša, če bi bilo mogoče, da bi se letošnji narodni dan SNPJ vršil pod okriljem naše in angleško-poslujoče federacije. Po daljši debati se je prišlo do .zaključka, da je nemogoče, da bi se ta slav-nost vršila pod našim okriljem iz razloga, ker imamo že v teku priprave za XI. dan SNPJ v zapadni Penni, kateri se bo vršil v nedeljo, 30. junija, v South Parku, Allegheny County. Pripravljeni pa smo prevzeti to za leto 1947, ako bo gl. odbor tako želel.

Razno: Zastopnika Yakich in Lavrenc želita navodil od zastopnikov, ker bodo imeli isto popoldne sejo v Barbertono zastop niki vseh štirih ohijskih federacij, na kateri bodo razpravljuli, ali priredc letos ohijski dan SNPJ ali ne. Večina zastopnikov je mnenja, da bi bilo težko etos aranžirati tako prireditev, kajti so težave za nabavo potrebščin, ki so v zvezi s tako priredbo. Če so tako neugodne razmere tudi v krajih, kjer imajo sedeže ostale ohijske federacije, potem se naj ohijski dan SNPJ odloži do prihodnjega leta.
Zastopnik Tone Čufur povabi društva, da se udeležijo piknika njihovega društva, ki se bo vršil 26, maja v Cantonu, O. Br. Lavrenc še apelira na zastopnike, da bi Šli na delo za novimi naročniki na dnevnik Pros veto. S to sugestijo se vsi strinjajo, nato pa sledi zaključek seje. Prihodnja seja se bo vršila dne 30. junija v dvorani društva Domovine v Barbertonu. Pričetek ob desetih dopoldne.

Our Relief and Political Work
MOST OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE are familiar with the humanitarian and political work carried on here in the interest of our people in the old country.
For this purpose we have a separate organization, the Slovene American National Council (SANC) which enjoys the support of the majority bf our people. The Slovene American National Council was created by the Slovene National Congress in December of 1942 in Cleveland. The SANC is a representative body, carrying on the political action as well as the relief work, both of which are extremely important in helping our people across the sea during the postwar reconstruction and rehabilitation period, as well as in aiding them attain their Justifiable territorial claims.
Logically enough, the initiative for our united relief action came from the representatives of our fraternal and cultural societies and the moral support given this action was unanimous. This action was taken during the darkest days of our parents' homeland when the Nazi-Fascist invaders overran Jugoslavia, plundering homes, towns and villages and killing thousands and driving others into slavery. This brutality continued for four long years.
The prompt response of our people for humanitarian work in stricken Slovenia was the first united action among us here. Our people realized that the great catastrophe which befell our people scross the sea called for a solid front; they realized that the Nazi-Fascists struck against all of our people in Slovenia regardless of their beliefs, the handful of traitors there and a small
group of their supporters here notwithstanding.
* * *
IT 18 TO THE CREDIT OF ALL Slovenes in America that
this action for humanitarian work was so swiftly organized, as it is to their credit that a similar action was possible also on the political front.
How does our relief situation stand today? The funds and clothing collected to at least partially alleviate the terrible conditions in Slovenia after the liberation were considerable. But right now SANC is conducting an intensive campaign for a Children's Hospital in Slovenia. This campaign was launched several months ago and is now in full swing.
It is encouraging to know that the halfway mark of the goal set for this most worthy project has been passed. The goal is $150,000 and up to now approximately $80,000 has been collected.
What is even more encouraging, as well as praiseworthy, is the fact that of the total thus far collected, our people in Cleveland, our metropolis—have actually surpassed their own quota of $30,000 by contributing $40,000!
Tbe campaign to reach the goal in the shortest time possible must be pushed with much greater vigor if we are to go on record as worthy brothers and sisters of our people in the old country. And we must remember that this campaign is being waged for the children in Slovenia, upon whom rests the future of our small nation. They need our help and we must not fail them. Thousands of small children in Slovenia today need medical treatment for tuberculosis which is rampant in most sections as a result of the terrible war years.
Your local SANC branch Is ready to receive your donations. Do your part!
* * *
THE SLOVENE AMERICAN NATL COUNCIL, as already
stated, is also conducting our political action for a justifiable settlement of frontier disputes.
Everyorje is more or less acquainted with the so-called Trieste problem, which includes Istria and the Slovene Littoral (Pri-morje). You resd about it in the press almost every day and the foreign ministers are discussing it at their conferences. Thus far only Russia is demanding that the disputed territory be returned to Jugoslavia, while our own Secretary of State Byrnes stands ready and willing to sell our people down the river once sgsin as they were sold after World War I.
Triest and its entire hinterland is on Slovene soil and It has never been Italian except since 1920 when It was given to Italy as a reward for her participation in the war on the side of the Allies. While the population around Trieste is entirely Slovene, the populstlon of the city Is largely Italian-speaking, but Is not Itslian. Therefore, ethnically as well as geographically, the territory is a component part of Slovenia, as it is aleo economically and politically.
The Slovene American National Council is doing its part to settle the dispute on a just basis. The Slovenes don't want any foreign land! All they ask Is thst their own lands be returned to their mother country! They must not be denied this justifiable
claim!
The SANC is worthy of our united support financially and morally. Let our young people stsnd behind both the relief as
well as the political action of SANC!	______

MILWAUKEE. WIS.—Another meeting has come and gone. The various reports were given by the committee personally and the reaction was favorable In all respects. It Is sUU doubtful whether our July picnic will go thru or not. The matter was laid over to the June meeting when definite action will be taken. With present conditions, it la rather difficult to plan any event in the near future as the food and beverage problem is very acute. We are hoping that things take a turn for the better so we can go ahead with our plans.
Anton Verbick and Tony Qbluck were elected delegates to represent the Badger lodge at the coming convention. Matt Smole and Frank Obluck were elected alternates.

Federation Meeting
A topic that took up most of the evening's discussion concerned the Trieste problem. Mr. Bozic and Mr. Celin along with others spoke passionately of steps that should be taken to bring about the proper settlement to this problem. They felt that a^ the influence possible should be exerted to see that the right is done by Jugoslavia. After considerable discussion motion was made that the Cleveland federation elect two representatives to visit our friend Governor Lausche in Columbus, find out his stand on this matter snd if he agrees, request that his voice be added to the multitude crying for fairness to be done to the Slovene people across. Mr. Cam garnlck and Mr. Haferle were elected as the representatives. They will report at our next meeting results of their discussion.

Pennsylvania SNPJ Day June 30
UNIVERSAL, PA.—This is the month for the 12th Annual Pennsylvania SNPJ Day. The date has already been announced as Sunday, June 30. There is no change from last year in the place because the committee, as well as our members, are thoroughly satisfied that the "Lodge" at South Park offers the best facilities for our kind of a celebration.
One change, however, can be reported as regards the place and that is that this year the affair is being held at a time when we can utilize the great conveniences that South Park and the "Lodge" have to offer for greater fun than if held late in the year as it was in 1949. It will be recalled that because of the cool weather we were forced to concentrate all of our activities Indoors last September. On June 30 we will enjoy the pleasure that the wilds of the "Lodge" have to offer.
The cbjnmittee under the direction of Brother James M. Maglich have been actively at work preparing a program and making provisions for another big day for our members and friends. The big job, of course, is to obtsin ample refreshments in these critical times to satisfy everyone, and at this moment we feel very optimistic.
We are not yet pr^jared tp announce the entire program. But it is good to report that we have engaged the services of Frank Porov-ne and his Musical Stylists to play for us in the afternoon from 2 until 5, and in the evening from 8 until 11. The program including a variety of music and songs will begin at 5 p. m. The participants will be announced at a later date. The speaker for the occasion will be Brother Frank Zaitx of Chicago, chairman of the Supreme Supervising committee and editor of Pro-letarec. In the afternoon also will be a scheduled softball league game between the Strabane Pioneers and the A m bridge RevoUars beginning at 2:30. There Is a number of other sports events being considered for the same afternoon, and one of these is a softball game between two juvenile teams of the SNPJ.
The program is beginning to look wonderful for the entire day, and wc want hundreds of our members and friends to make plans now to attend the affair. It will be great fun for all of us if you will attend. Watch this column for more details.
Important Notices
The E. i S. Federation Athletic Cofnmittee is considering a golf tournament or a series of golf matches, between teams and individuals for this summer. A two day tournament over the Labor Day weekend is being considered, provided there is no National SNPJ Day. Otherwiae, there will be a one-day tournament held on a Sunday. Lodges are asked to inform the writer of the number of team and/or individual entries that can be expected in a tournament; also, if the teams and/or individuals would be available for inter-lodge golf matches during the summer.
Consideration Is given to engaging a special train, or special SNPJ coaches, thst vritt take convention delegates from Pittsburgh, or some point east of Pittsburgh going west via Pittsburgh. It is believed that some definite advantages can be gained for our delegates in the way of facilities and conveniences, provisions for entertainment, and even cost of traveling. More details Will be announced here in a very short time. Meanwhile, all delegates who might be interested In this proposal are asked to get in touc.i with the writer.
News and Views
Welcome-home celebrations by our lodges seem to have gained popular acclaim. We believe all lodge* who had members in the service« should extend an official welcome to the fellows by banqueta and gifta. Recently the writer was a guest at welcome-hoarse celebrations in East Pittsburgh. Strabane. and Acmeto-nla.	MICHAEL R KUMER

Prominent Americans Urge Exercise Of Sovereignty With Other Countries As Price of Peace in Atomic Age
Twenty-four Americans Voice Nation's Horn and Fears )n CBS' "Operation Crossroad Broadcast On Control of Nuclear Energy f, Human Good
The!

Millions of Americans today are crystallizing their opinions on the problems precipitated by the atom bomb as a result of the unprecedented "Operation Crossroads,'' broadcast from the auditorium of the Library of Congress in Washington, D. C., over the nationwide Columbia network Tuesday, May 28, from 10 to 11 p. m., EDT.
Twenty-four Americans both average and exalted, participated in the full-hour discussion of how to control atomic energy for human good, before an audience of statesmen, military leaders, scientists and representatives of the world press.
The discussion was opened by Vicc Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, comander of the Army-Navy Joint Task Force One, speaking from his flagship, the U. S. S. Mt. McKinley as it steamed toward Bikini Atoll, scene of July's atom bomb test. He called on listeners to consider carefully the pros and cons with which they were about to be presented.
As the show switched to Washington, Arnold J. Nelson, city fireman, asked General George C. Kenny, U. S. representative on the UN Military Staff Committee, if it were not possible to find an adequate defense against the atomic bomb. General Kenny replied: "I believe we should do everything In our power to defend ourselves, but we should understand clearly that the atomic bomb has revolutionized our whole concept of defense. There just isn't any adequate defense against atomic attack. Whatever defense we may find, |t will still be a passive defense—and if we're really looking for the best method of survival, we've got to use our heads to find a more active and certain way to prevent disaster. This is the world's last chance."
Mrs. Howard J. Hollister, triple Gold Star mother, of St. Paul, proposed, that since there was no defense, America prevent the use of atom bombs by keeping the secret of their manufacture.
To this, Dr. Harold C. Urey, Nobel Price winner and one of the developers of the bomb at the University of Chicago replied:
"There is no secret that we can keep for more than a few years. The principles and theories by which the bomb is made are known . . . There is no lack of engineering skill in other countries . . . and you don't have to have a very large number of bombs. A relatively small number makes every nation equal . . . that is why we have to find a way to survive at once,"
Medford Evans. Yale Ph. D. cm-ployed at the government's atomic energy plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn., said:
"In this world you've got to be tough ... I am suggesting atomid

armaments—and if somebody pise ^ruction as long as
wants Co make a race out of it,' it's up to them . . . force is always a factor ... we have the atomic bomb. Somebody else may get It, or they may not. That gives us the odds. This is no time to quit."
Senator Brien McMahon. Chairman of the Senate Atomic Energy Committee replied: . . The price you'll have to pay for an atomic armaments race will be to give up your democracy, live in perpetual terror of sudden catastrophe. You may have to disperse your cities, or take them off the face of the earth and put them underground."
Mrs. Wendell Willkie, in reply to a suggestion from Norma J. Davis, 22-year-old Seattle housewife, that atomic research be stopped, said:
Tt isn't science that's dangerous. It is we who are to blame, because we havent learned yet to live in a world without war." Representative H Jerry Voorhis ( California countered the statement of Jane Newton, a University of California student, that consideration of atomic problems should be left to the political, military and adentific experts, by declaring
"The whole idea of democracy is that the judgement of the people as a whole Is more likely to be right than any other Judgement there is as long as the people are con-fused the government will be. too Once the people understand clearly 'hat they want, the chances are well get clear, forthright actios from the government It was George Caron. Lynbrook, ong Island, tall-gunner on the fill that dropped the bomb on Hiro-
shima, who proposed that the Ut, States surrender a portion of' fcovereignty, jointly with other tions to the United Nat««« achieve effective control of ato_ energy's destructive potentiality, The effect of delegating a ponj of national sovereignty to UN this purpose was described by H old E. Stassen, as follows:
"If there is going to be an ment (within the United Natiow) will probably mean that cetu laws will be laid down every nation will have to be km by these laws and that some sy* of inspection will have to be wort out . . . what's more . . . there probably be penalties set up any nation or individual that bro the law . . . this will moan the mthority will be created which higher than the government of United States. We will be rep sented on that authority for it operate above us, just as our eral government operates above State governments . . . The price have to pay for survival is word—sovereignty—we must gate some of our sovereignty to temational authority."
At this juncture Associate U. Supreme Court Justice was all on for a definition of sovereignty.
"Sovereignty," he said, "is authority." In the United SM final authority rests with the peo| he pointed out.
"We do not give up sovereipl| he said. "We exercise it . .. matter of fact our delegation sovereignty to our agencies of ernment is the way we purda civilization . . . Through the dels tion of our sovereignty we cr«l strength which individually, citizens, or as states, we would
"In this problem of survivtl-our efforts to harness a force wf could destroy civilization—all «*' being asked to do is to exercise I sovereignty on a new level—the I ternational one.
Willing to go along on the d*i tion of certain sovereign power* the UN, ex-tail-gunner Caron a misgiving:
"How about the argument Russia is out to conquer the wor that she'll never agree to any tem of control . .?''
Caron was answered ai ww by Joseph E. Davies. forirer Am«l sador to the U S S R and author "Mission to Moscow":

Several months ago Winston I Churchill in his Fulton, Mo. speech ask< d for an Anglo-American military alliance against Russia, Although there was a great opposition against such an alliance in this country, it is quite evident that the United States and Britain actually | have formed a bloc to oppose Russia.

CHICAGO.—Last Sunday after noon we attended Lodge Delavec No. 8 SNPJ's homecoming program at Croatian Hall in South Chicago. Program honored their 34 service members and their mothers. Attendance was quite good.
The West Side SNPJers were well represented. About five carloads of persons plus a busload of Perfect Circle children and parents made the long trip. I was one of fortunates who made the trip by car, but those that took the bus at 31st and Pulaski to 63rd and going east to Commercial, thence to 98th, had an hour and a half ride going and over two hour on return trip. The return trip made several per-sona ill; two much streetcar riding.
The program was a little late in starting. Mike Chandick, president of Lodge Delavec, made the welcoming address, after which the American Legion followed with the Posting of Colors. Rose Vuksjnich sang the Star Spangled Banner. Frank Kosich was the general chairman and he introduced us to Joan Mertic. the accordionist.
With the servicerpen on stage, Joseph Vucich, secy, called names of boys and their mothers who In turn rose for their honors and each boy reeeived a check from lodge treasurer, L. Mender. There were two recitations; a short address by former Major Adolph Ziherle, 1st Lt. Oscar B. Godina, Pioneer member now on terminal leave, was next with a very appropriate address.
"Indian Lote Call" and "Italian Street Song" were the vocal selections by Rose Vuksinich in her beautiful soprano, Vincent Cainkar, SNPJ president, made a short address in Slovene. Congressman Rowan and an American Legion representative gave remarks.
"Down on the Farm" was the next presentation by Perfect Circle 26 with Edward Udovich as the M. C. after the entertainers sang their introduction "Howdy Do, Everyone." "Old Time Quadrille" with the Little Folks, followed by Sweet and Low melodies by twelve Harmonlzers. Robann Sannemann, with her "Clementine" took the audience by storm in her "auditions." Frank Sternisha tapped away a Farmer Brown Goes to Town. Commercial.

Golden Eagles
Meeting Minutes GIRARD, O.—Thirty-six members attended our last meeting. It was the largest attendance in many a month. The Bowling League will shortly schedule its annual banquet. The league officials, Tony Sirca and Frank Zltnik, in addition to whatever 'aid they might require, will present full plans at our next meeting for approval and the banquet will go on from there.
The Social Committee wil present s schedule of activities at the next meeting for the -remainder of the year. There is s poaaibility that a picnic might be sponsored sometime during the summer. At present, this is only in the tentative stage. In addition to these two reports, Stan Hribar, chairman of our last dance, will outline the details of the event.
Twenty-five dollars was contributed towards the Children's Hospital in Slovenia. Ann Gantar and Matt Kogovsek were on the sick list. Frank Rezek was elected delegate to the convention with Mary Macek as alternate.
On Labor Various attempts sre being made to shackle and deprive labor of its rights and privileges. Of course these attempts are not of s recent nature nOr will tho attempts be terminated. /
At this writing, labor is in for s terrific pounding ss s result of s presidentisl spectacle before Con gress. There hss always been s mountainous doubt In my mind that Truman even approaches presidential calibre. This doubt is now s fact.
It ia a sorrowful day in American history when sttempts sre msde to draft labor Into the army to work under bayonet and gun. It is s mockery on our democracy. The shades of European dictatorship sre lengthening here.
In no instance has management been criticised for its shsre in instigating the strikes. They remain obstinate and non-committal. It is planned strstegy; cold, deliberste strateg«t And ouf President haa been taken in I
Labor should never permit Itself to qhoulder the entire responsibility of a strike. Labor Is entitled to Its fullest measure of reasonable request«. It does not receive them through peaceful negotiation./ It is prodded into strikes! It must revert to practice« which are sever® and painful. It must do this to receive attention and justice.
Labor is correct in making demands upon management. Labor la correct in utilising whatever means at its dieposal to enforce these da-manda Otherwise, it could never improve the lot of its workers Management is too wel unionised. It has always diaeouraged workers from uni«mixing but, it, Itself, always strove for compactness and unity of purpose. >
Perhaps one day the workers of
Am«nm will attach themselves to the socielisaUon of the forces of economy. It is the only Mution for con trn t men I and abundance for all.

Americana are now talking about an invincible navy. What Buck Rogers dreamt a few years back will now become reality with rock• eta. rocket planes and atomic powered »hip«. The largest appropriation during any peacetime year is being planned for the new navy which means that the present navy would become obsolete in a short time because of new discoveries. Everything points to the «elf destruction of civilisation and it is likely to come about that the only form of life remaining will be file«, lice and rat«, if the atomic bomb« and the invincible navy is being pse« pared against Russia because the Russians seem to pose the only threat to the present capitalist sy«* tem snd its profits. Students of economics must agree that there cannot be any compromise, at least not very well, between a cooperative or collectivlst system and the greedy Irrespnoaible profit system, The only way another wsr can be svoided If the people in the capitalist countries awaken to the need of the times and vote in s more just and equitable economy.
It Is pretty hard to conceive why the head of the Catholic church, the Pope, would come out for the old ruling cliques in Europe.

"Isn't it awful," te pat II In radio language, the Stuff that come« over the ether waves in a day's time?
I was never a hot radio fan even In the clays of lily inVMkntary retirement at s Vets hospital when I had more tifhe than John Lewis haa eyebrows. Usually, the rsdio moguls hsd to hsve a pretty good program to, get my listening ear—not that I am bragging, but the darn thing just didn't have enough of appeal for me.
Secretly, I believe that I have listened to leaa ra-Peter EUah dio programa than any other old foggy around these part*.
All of the old jaloppies thst I owned after paying the finance company, had no radios in the dashboard, although at times I had strnog Imitators as pasaenger*.
However, recently, I came Into the po**e*aion of a car that had a radio with it. Being a lonely man at time*, and doing a lot of daytime driving, 1 begun to tune my radio.
It isn't that I'm agalnat music, all music whether it is hillbilly, jass, swoon, or classicsl has an appeal snd some beauty, Some even have rhythm—and aome everything else except that. And what to one person la plain bras* to snother it can stir the deepest emotion*, snd soothe the moat savage breast.
Our folk music, polkas and modern rag-time can be entertaining and refreihing.
No, I'm not against them, but it ia tho other stuff, thi« constant drivel of nonaenaical muaical ads, and, indeed, all of radio advertisement in general.
How dumb do they think we areT Moat of their atuff couldn't stand a night show in a burlesque house. Even Barnum, or s Minaky wouldn't try aome of the trlcka that lying ed-p lugger a uae to promote aale* of their ware*. Every deceit, and every emotion ia played upon for aslea of aome worthless product.
And when an article ian't being plugged, aoap operaa of every assortment sre In full blast. Murder, crime, grime, and aex are parceled from morning until night. In serials, aome of the atorles and character* go on like the babbling brook —forever.
Another old trick la the quia program where some giggling teenager or an old goat are asked silly and embarrassing questions.
Why go on, we are all familiar with the mtidern radio program*.
It seems that people approve of these programs Al least, no one ia protesting, and if that is what they want, I hope Uiat they will get it in increasing proportions.
But it would be wonderful, If the rudios would attempt to give useful educational, cultural and entertaining programa.
Maybe, the government ahould do something about it, I better atop, before someone hollers, "faaclat" or "communist".

LouU Tercek. member of Triglav Lodge 82, wet elected lost week to represent District No. 1 (Eastern Pennsylvania and New York) on the National Athletic Board over Jam.* Trofino, member of Friendly City Lodge 684, both located in Johns town, Pa, He will fill the vacancy left by Robert Swaney who resigned last March after moving to Detroit Brother Tercek, who comes well recommended for this post, will serve out the balance of the unexpired term. We extend him sincere congratulations on his election to the Board and best wishes for the success of SNPJ sports in his district. • • •
The prospect of staging the first postwar National SNPJ Day this vear, which appeared reasonably bright a few months back, was dimmed into a complete blackout a short time ago, when word was received by the Supreme President that the Milwaukee District Federation of SNPJ Lodges had withdrawn the bid it submitted earlier in the year. Other federations of the Society were also contacted, but none were willing to accept the invitation under prevailing conditions. The main reasons for negative replies in almost every instance were based on the uncertainty of obtaining sufficient foodstuffs and other
eryone. It's what we need and need plenty of to break the monotony of everyday routine. They furnish us with something else to think and talk about besides "shop" and the serious things of life. By this I don't mean that we should take up sports to the exclusion of important eco nomic, social and political questions and problems; certainly not. No one who has to work for a living wants that, but sometimes it is good to get away from it and spend a few hours relaxing at play, mingling with fellow members and neighbors, poking a little friendly fun at each other when the going gets tough, and learning to take a little "ribbing" without losing one's sense of sportsmanship. It's all In the game and good for you.
Most of us have been breaking our backs and groaning under the strain of hard work and long hours during the past five years of war. It's time now that we devote some of our leisure to bending our backs and coordinating our minds and muscles in fru ndiy competitive play, enjoying a few comforts in peace with our ,'taowir.en. . . . We have a set of rules governing play In a balina < sgui which we will be glad to send to our lodges and Circles, should the y desire a copy. These rules may not be entirely suitable to your style

der to Insure the success of such an affair.
We were reluctant to report this news for we are well aware that many members have been planning to attend the celebration and will now be disappointed. Regretfully we add that the Executive Committee did its best to have the National SNPJ Day renewed, but failed of success simply because of conditions and circumstances over which it has no control. Despite this setback. Lodges, Juvenile Cirdes and Federations are urged to cooperate in celebrating SNPJ Days, locally and sec-tionally, wherever held. Were It n<A ao late, it might even be suggested that Labor Day be designated as National SNPJ Day this year when, Instead of celebrating at one huge « fair, we would honor the occaaior with numerous smaller eventa, each complete in ilaelf, over the country.
Perhaps, It isn't too late!

Quite frequently we hear that the old folks of the Society, those whom we sometimes refer to as the old-timers, don't give a "hoot" for sports activities snd even look upon them as a complete waste of time where youth is concerned. But are they really prejudiced against sports to that extent? Personally. I doubt it very murh. In fart, from my own observations, I find that the old-timers like sports, too, if it 1» their kind of sport. Take balina for example. Many of them are keen followers of this pleasant and not too rigorous recreation. It is s favorite pastime among our old folks, men and women, In many parts of the country. It t* surprising, too, how many of our young people have taken it up in recent years in ptefer-ence to other popular outdoor activities.
In scores of towns and cities where nsti n« I homes have been built, balina ccurts have been constructed on adjoining lots and here the mombors play in the evenings after the doy's work is done-, often till late ut night if lights have I* en installed, and usually all duy on Saturday and Sunday Some old-timers are almost as enthusiastic about balina as our young people are ubout bowling baseball and golf. And, take it frcm one who knows, they can get all-fired sriiuus about the game, too.
Bsiins Is to popular in C eveland that it is plaved indoors and outdoors both at the Slovene lioir.e on St I'luir Avenue and the Slovene Workingmen's Home at Colhnwood . . . And here in Chicago the courts at the Slovene Labor Center on Lawndale Avenue hum with activity from noon till lat«- at night ever) week end, nil through the warn, months of th«- year And at Weu-k« gun and North Chicago, our people takr the sport more seriously, pet haps, than in any othet town in the M.dwett rectum Here leagues are orgr>nirrd w.th schedules beginning in the luU tpring months and )»it through the summer Fees me ehirged and placed in the "kitty,** and at the end of the season prise* are distilbuted according to stand Ings somewhat in tU« sain? manner as in bowling leagues*-^

Do you want your juvenile members to take a greater interest in the affairs of the lodge and Society? Are you doing anything to help bring this about? You've got to give them something that will arouse their interest and enthusiasm. We find that one of the quickest ways of getting results is by organizing them in sports. Give them a uniform or just a cap and jersey, with letters S.N.P.J, and Lodge number on it, and.it will surprise you how much they will do in return. Better still, organize a Juvenile Circle and gain for theni and the lodge all the benefits the Society offers. Organize a Juvenile Circle in your town!.. • • •

Strabane Pioneers
STRABANE, PA.—Now that the bowling season has ended, a review of Lodge 589's bowling activities reveals quite a number of fine achievement accomplished by its members. Although Pioneer bowlers were not outstanding in the recent SNPJ tournament, they did well for themselves in the bowling activities in this vicinity.
Although for -nearly the whole season, the Pioneers wire holding down third place to sixth place in the Washington County League, by a fine spurt in the closing matches, they managed to beat out the Tomšič Motors for the league championship. The Motors, who held up the top position for nearly all the season, ended up one game behind the Pioneers In an exciting finish. Our congratulations to the Pioneer bowl ers on winning the County League championship for 1946.
Then, in the recent Dapper Dan tournament, in which leading bowl ers of the County were represented, Pioneer Joe Krulce came out on top of a strong entry pt bowlers. Off to a slow start, "Skinny" as he is better known, finished up strong and in the final rolloff won easily. Con gratulations to you also, "Skinny".
Although no Pioneer girl won the Dapper Dolly title, two girls from Lodge 689 did take second and third place. They were Millie Barnes, finishing second and Jane Kesnow-skl who took third place.
Then In the recent SNPJ juvenile tournament, Chester Kaminski and James Podboy of Circle 27 came through in fine style. In taking the singles, all events and teaming up with Jim Podboy to win the doubles, Chet Kaminski proved to be the SNPJ juvenile outstanding bowler.

To the Citizens of The Waukegan Twp. High School District
WAUKEGAN, ILL—The Board *f Education of the Waukegan Township High Schol is asking yon to vote "YES" "on a ballot to permit an Increase in school funds at an election to be held this Saturday, June 8, from noon until seven in the evening.
THIS INCREASE IS NECES-SARY IN ORDER TO OPERATI THE HIGH SCHOOL DURING THESE. TIMES. Supplies equipment are costing more all the time. Teachers, janitors, and other empyloees have to be paid higher wages in order to keep them m their positions, because higher wages are being paid in other schools and industries. Repairs are needed to the building which were not made during the depression or war. The enrollment is increasing, bringing the need for additional teachers and supplies.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THI FUNDS TO MEET THESE UN-AVOIDABLE INCREASES. Th« only source from which these fundi may be secured is tax money collected from year to year. Recent legislation makes it impossibk, without referendum, for this district to secure more than an increase of five per cent over the funds available last year. This is not a suffi-ciant increase to meet rising cost*. For this reason the Board of Education asks you to vote "YES" at the election Saturday.
The Board of Education if not spending money needlessly. Increases in wages granted have always been less than those requested. New equipment and supplies that have been requested have not bees purchased. Although some minor changes have been made at the high school, these changes in themselves have not been costly. The board will continue to spend the mone/ carefully even though more fundi are made available.
Vote SATURDAY at one of the following places according to where you live: In Waukegan, at Greenwood »chool, the North SclwA the High School, or the Manua Training Science Building at J" McAllister; in North Chicago at t* North School or Centra! School
On: behave of Waukegan Township High School Board o Edu« tion we the undersigned urge > to go to the polls next Saturday arid vdte Yes on this vital Issue ANTON PIERCE. DR ANDREW FURLAN. Members of the Board.

Avella News
AVELLA, PA.—Our first game in the Softball League, with the Ver-onians as our guests, ended with score of 22 to 2. Our boys are still wondering if Mehillc, the Veronian pitcher, really threw a ball; he should let them see lt once In while. His pitching is something to watch. We all had a wonderful time and we're looking forward to the next game.
A big hand to John Resnik, who hasn't pitched since his schooldays, I guess, but went right in, when neither one of our two pitchers could come for the opening game. You did very well, Johnny. Our players don't know all the rules and tricks of the game, but they're ready, willing and able to learn. And they shall! The entries In the manager's record book all aeem to be in red ink, so the team Is planning another 'ance on July 3. I'll report further in the future, but keep the date in mind. *"*
I am still looking for a few more loyal members to help put over our Penna SNPJ Day at South Park on June 30. So don't be bashful, (rienda. We're very glad to see you, and we do mean you!
