delegatom dvanajste redne konvencije Š.N.P.J. v Pittsburghu, Pa.
(Nsdaljevanja.)
Poročilo in priporočila urednika jednotinih publikacij t
Bratje in seštre:
Na ena jati redni konvenciji SNPJ pred itirimi leti aem poročal delegatom o peeledicah velike in dolge ameriške gospodarske depresije, katere so posredno ln neposredno zadele tudi naše publikacije, in kako smo se v onih težkih letih izkopavali in v precejšnji meri tudi izkopali iz tiste krize. Naše takratne težave so bile gospodarske, ki smo jih srečno preboleli.
Kar se tiče Prosvete, smo zadnja štiri leta nadaljevali v razmerah, kakršna so bile ob času zadnje konvencije. Kakinih stalnih fizičnih izpre-memb ni bilo. Uredniški štab je še vedno isti kot je bil in način uredniškega dela je ostal neizpremenjen. Tehnične izpremembe v Prosveti se kajpada vrše neprestano kakor zahtevajo potrebe časa in novih razmer.
V tam medkonvenčnem času smo imeli dve slavnosti ali jubilejni številki Prosveta; prva je izšla v aprilu 1039 ob petintridesetletnik SNPJ a prilogo na dvanajstih straneh, druga pa v zadnjem juniju ob petindvaj-setletnici dnevnika s prilogo na osmih straneh. Obe prilogi sta bili nekaj novega za publikacije SNPJ—in s prvo prilogo smo celo pionlrili med vsemi slovenskimi listi v Ameriki—namreč fotogravurski tisk, s kakršnim se ponašajo le veliki ameriški dnevniki v svojih nedeljskih prilogah. Ureditev obeh teh jubilejnih številk Prosvete je bila mogoča z dobro kooperacijo gl. odbornikov in rednih ter izrednih sotrudnikov, katerim je
uredništvo aelo hvaležno za njihovo 9odelovanje. ------
Od noša j i med uredništvom in gl. odborniki kakor odborniki društev so bili ves ta čaa zelo dobri. Na primer gl. predaednik je stalen sotrudnik s svojo kolono v glasilu in prav tako ima član gospodarskega odteka br. Lotrich stalno kolono v angleški sekciji; gl. tajnik je priobčil mnogo informativnih člankov v slovenščini in angleščini. Jakob Zupan, Član gospodarskega odseka, Je prispeval precej dobrih člankov in večkrat se je oglasil tudi predsednik gospodarskega odseka Matt Petrovič. Milan Medvešek, član gl. nadzornega odseka, ima že nekaj časa redno kolono in Fr. Barbič, član gl. porotnega odseka, je stalno zastopan v Prosveti s svojimi dopisi. Kooperacija izvršnega odseka in gl. odbora v splošnem je torej bila zelo dobra. Priznanje gre tudi društvenim tšjnikom in ostalim članom, ki pišejo za društva, kakor tajnikom in drugim odbornikom federacij, za točno pošiljanje zapisnikov in ostalih uradnih stvari ter sploh za dobro kooperiranje z uredništvom jednotinih publikacij.
Velika večina naših starih dopisnikov in poročevalcev domačih vesti je še vedno s Prosveto, prišlo Je pa tudi nekaj novih. Na žalost se Število Prosvetinih stalnih dopisnikov vsako leto manjša, ker v vedno večjem številu odhajajo v grob ali pa so jim zaradi starosti opešale oči. Na drugi strani pa angleška sekcija Prosvete pridobiva nove dopisniške moči iz ameriške generacije, ki nadomeščajo one, kateri odpadajo. 2 izbruhom vojne v Evropi smo izgubili vse poročevalce in sotrudnike v starem kraju, namesto teh smo pa pridobili zelo dobro slovensko poročevalko iz Londona, katera se Je priglasila prostovoljno in redno pošilja svoja poročila.
Kakor vedno, odkar izhaja Prosveta, je tudi v tel medkonvenčni dobi bilo več prask med bredništvom in nekaterilni dopisniki; da—celo med uredniki so bile javne praske. V kritičnih, skrajno izrednih razmerah, v katerih živimo ne samo mi, temveč vsa Amerika in ves svet—v razmerah, ko padajo ob tla stare institucije in politične stranke, stoletne vrednote in principi in ko bije demokracija težak boj za obstanek—niso te praske nič čudnega in lahko smo veseli, da ni bilo hujšega. Lahko povem, da je bilo v fcadnjlh Štirih letih med nami več notranjih konfliktov ideološkega značaja kakor pa smo imeli polemičnih bojev z našimi zunanjimi nasprotniki. Po moji sodbi so pa imeli vsi ti naši notranji opori, ki so zdaj pa zdaj švignili v Javnost okoli politike in vojne—več dobrih kot slabih rezultatov, kajti iz teh polemik smo se učili in marsičesa naučili vsi skupaj.
Uredništvo pozdravlja vsako resno in iskreno kritiko, odločno pa odklanja in onemogočava vse osebne Injekcije kakor nameravane zlorabe naših pravil in resolucij o svobodi izražanja v glasilu. V tem smislu je uredništvo publikacij SNPJ dosledno postopalo ln v tem oziru ni pokazalo nobenega favoriziranja.
Naj se na tem mestu toplo zahvalim vsem dopisnikom Prosvete, somišljenikom in kritičnim, ki so s svojo kooperacijo pripomogli, da je Prosveta ostala popularna tribuna za razjašnjevanje spornih predmetov med našimi naseljenci v Ameriki. ,S tem so dopisniki tudi pripomogli, da je Prosveta še zmerom najefektivnejši agitator za Slovensko narodno podporno Je^noto—in kot taka ostane tudi za bodočo združeno organizacijo, o kateri upamo vsi, da pride. Prav tako lepa hvala vsem poročevsloem domačih vesti; upam, da ostanejo pri tem poslu še v bodoče.
Mesečnik Mladinski list je v zadnji medkonvenčni dobi doživel korenito izpremembo. Slovensko in angleško gradivo smo mu pomešali, dali smo mu nove oblike platnic, ki se stalno menjajo in letos smo mu dali slike na platnicah v barvah; vsebina in tehnika sta bili dokaj Izpremonjeni. Z uvedbo "Naše Šole," katero Je avtorizir»la 11. redna konvencija v Clevelandu ln v kateri naši dečki in deklioe Iz mladinskega oddelka energično tekmujejo s svojimi spisovnimi in slikarskimi talenti, Je Mladinski list nastopil velik korak napredka za Izobrazbo naše mladine. Res Je, da Mladinski Ust s to reformo nekaj itane jednoto, ampak vsi ti izdatki so malenkost v primeri z bogato pridobitvijo, ki jo ima naša mladina s tem magazlnom. Nešteto prič vam lahko pove po vseh naselbinah, kjer so naša društva in naši mladinski krožki—tudi nova institucija SNPJ od zadnje konvencije—da Je Mladinski list s svojo sedanjo opremo ln vsebino zelo priljubljen pri otrocih in kot takšen Je dober agitatoc za mladinski oddelek SNPJ.
In kakor Je Prosveta kljub vsem burnim časom v zadnjih letih ostala zvesta svobodomiselnim načelom jednota, tako Je tudi Mladinski list še vedno zvest principom svobodne misli, vsled česar Je danes—edini slovenski svobodomiselni list za mladino na vsem svetu.
Tudi to pot z veseljem poročam, da uredništvo publikacij SNPJ nI Imelo v tej dobi nobene afere, nobenega rosnega spora in nobene tožbe s nikomur. Bila je ena sama grožnja s tožbo, ker pa strsnks ni Imela nobeno prave podlage sa tožbo, smo grožnjo enostavno Ignorirali in sadava je padla v vodo.
Lahko omenim ie nekaj. Dne 1. julija 1937 je na temelju federalnega zakona prišel v veljavo za vse eksekutlvne odbornike v glavnem uradu 8NPJ štirideieturni delovni teden. Nameščenci v uredništvu publikacij, kakor v gl. uradu sploh, so že v rej imeli to ugodnost, kstera jim je zajamčena v pogodbi z unijo, ki je priznana po SNPJ. štirideseturnik seveda velja tudi za uradnika, ampak težava Je, da ima urednik vedno toliko posla, da si ne more skrčiti delovnlks, če hoče, da gre njegovo delo sproti izpod rok. In tako se godi vos čas, da mora urednik delati čez uro (over-time); vsako soboto predpoldne, ko bi moral biti prost, navadno dela povprečno dve uri ln v tem času izvrši Prosvetino korespondenco, ki Se nabere čez teden; ko Je pa treba zaključiti Mlsdlnskl list. dela urednik povprečno eno uro doma na Mladinskem listu. Tako se Je tegs čezurnega dela nabralo od 1. Julija 1937 do 1. julija 1941 za 682 ur. PRIPOROČILA
Priporočam konvenciji, naj sprejme resolucijo, s katero potrdi naše stare smernice. t6 Jo načela demokracijo, svobodne misli ln socialna pravičnosti, isrecno pa naj bo poudarjeno v resoluciji, da ima v bodoča glavni odbor pravico, določiti na svoji redni seji, katero delavako stranko ali delavske kandidata naj Proaveta podpira s strani uredništva ln dopisnikov v volilnih kampanjah.
(V zadnji medkoSvenčni dobi Je bila v tem odru konfuzija Konvencija Jo določila podpiranja onih delavskih itrank, ki se izrečejo za ustanovitev ena same masne delavske stranke—toda sa ta cilj nI bilo nobenega giba-nja, nasprotno: obstoječe delavske stranke so se šo bolj razbile in večinoma ao agitirale aa kandidate novega deola, To nas Jo lahko naučilo, da nI praktično delati političnih smernic sa Štiri leta naprej, temveč Ja najbolje, da konvencij* prepusti to nalogo gl. odboru, kateri se bo ravnal po tekočih i u/merah (n potrebah.)
Dalje naj bo določano v resoluciji, da v Prosveti ne sme biti političnih (Dalje aa 4. strani)

WHEREAS. an effective pr omot ion of auch activities depends largely on aufflcieni flnanciai aupport and
WHEREAS. the laat convention approprUted $4000.00 aa ihe hlgkeai amount that may be uaed for thla purpoae. and
WHEREAS. that amount proved aa lnaufflcleut for flnaiiciag •U ihe outlars ln connectlon wlth more eaaeniial programa. and WHEREAS. the merger betvreen Slovene National Benefit So-Slovene Progreaalve Benefit Societr haa Just been ef-and the number of local lodgea and members largely ln-creaaed thereby. and
' WHEREAS. the present se t-up of electlng athletlc board membera from varloua dlatricta haa proven to be falr and auccea«ful;
THEREFORE. BE IT RESOLVED. that thia convention approve ihe contlnuailon of aihletica activities wlthln the Soclety aa a meana of agltation and aollcltation of members and that an amount not exceedlng $5000.00 annually be approprUted for flnanclng auch actlvltlea. and that the Supreme Board may be empowerod to Increaae thla amount U it finda that eaaeniial and the athleiics proven beneflcial.	/
RESOLVED FURTHER. that the Athletlc Board be compoaed of representailves from flve dlatricta aa deeignated and elected by ihe Supreme Board under the dtrectlon of the Supreme Juvenile Dlroctor.
O tej resoluciji aledi daljša debata, v kateri ae izraža mnenje, da pionirji, ki so gradili jednoto, niao imeli atletike, da bi jih skupaj držala, pač pa progresivne in zdrave Ideje. Dalje, da ni treba za take reči preveč denarja trošiti, ker s to rečjo najbrž še nismo kaj prida članov dobili. Na drugi strani pa se ugotavlja, da ravno atletični športi veliko pripomorejo pri dobivanju ln obdržbi članstva mlajše generacije. Mnogi pozivajo zbornico, naj da mladini vse, kar predstoječa resolucija predpisuje. Predlog, da se debata zaključi, sprejet. Govore še prijavljeni. V nadaljnji debati nekateri zahtevajo, naj se najprej kaj naredi za stare člane, potem naj šele pride mladinska zabava na vrsto. DrugI zopet izražajo mnenje, da naj bi mladina sodelovala s starejšo delegacijo na tej konvenciji v tem, da ae bo nekaj storilo tudi za stare člane, na čemur že dela odbor za pravila. Med tem argumentiranjem je neki delegat vprašal delegacijo kar naravnost: "Ali ste že kdaj Čuli, da bi bil mladi za starega kaj naredil?" Na to je bilo več odgovorov, da mladi sodelujejo s starši v organizaciji. Kjer ni mladina aktivna tudi za ideje naše jednote, bo najbrž vzrok nekje pri starejših, ker niso ob pravem času podučili svojih sinov in hčera, kaj pravzaprav predstavljajo naše napredne podporne organizacije. Nekdo pravi, naj se da mladini, kar zahteva ta resolucija, mladina pa naj nikar ne pozabi glasovati za pomoč starim članom, ko bo prišla dotična zadeva pred zbornico. Nekdo Iskreno apelira, naj se ne pozabi na starejšo generacijo, kajti akoro vsa doaedanja korespondenca konvenciji je ena velika prošnja, naj se za stare člane zares kaj stori. Delegatlnja apelira na zbornico, naj stori kolikor mogoče za mladino, da se jo dobi s ceste v kulturna središča in končno na sodelovanje tudi v naših gospodarskih zadevah. Povsod so se že pokazali dobri rezultati, kjerkoli smo organizirali krožke SNPJ in pa vrtce SSPZ; ln med odraŠčeno mladino vršijo isto delo športi, ker jih držijo na svežem zraku, namesto da bi se učili od nas starejših oitarijskega popivanja. Večina govornikov je za podpiranje atletike v SNPJ.
Br. Božič predlaga ln br. Vratarich podpira, da ae govorniška lista črta. Sprejeto. Resolucija za atletiko je z veliko večino sprejeta. Odbor nadaljuje s poročilom.
RESOLUCIJA GLEDE GLASILA BIV&E SSPZ Z sdruženjem SNPJ ln SSPZ so člani bivše SSPZ poatall deležni vseh pravic, ki gredo članom SNPJ, ln med temi pravicami Je tudi prejemanje uradnega glaalla SNPJ

Vsšno ss društvs v Plttsburghu Pittsburgh. Pa^-Dne 7. septembra se je zbralo v Slovenskem domu več društvenih zastopnikov, da bi v Plttsburghu ustsnovili lokalni odbor Jugo-slovsnskegs pomožnegs odbora v Ameriki. Zaključek prvega sestanka je bil, da se skliče zopet sestanek v nedeljo, 9. oktobra, ob 2. uri popoldne v Slovenskem domu, da bodo imeli vsi društveni uradniki priliko udeležiti se istegs, kei pred konvencijo SNPJ in SSPZ niso imeli te prilike in čass.
Bratje in sestre, dnevno čita-te v časopisju o grozotah in trpljenju, ksterega prenaša naš ubogi in teptani narod onkraj morja. Neznosno je njih trpljenje ln pomoči so potrebni; po-msgati jim moremo edino mi ameriški Slovenci in Slovenke, ko bo prišel čas, da bo šla lahko pomoč v rodne kraje.
Združimo se skupsj vsi, ne glede ns naša prepričanja in bodimo združeni kot so nsši bratje in sestre združeni v trpljenju in mUkah onkraj morja. Naše slovenske podporne otganizscije so v tem delu združene. Imsjo samo en cilj, ln to je pomoč našemu narodu v stari domovini.
Podpisani pripravljalni odbor prosi vsa društva v Plttsburghu, da pošljejo svoje zastopnike na skupni sestanek prihodnjo nedeljo ob 2. popoldne v Slovenski dom.

Cleveland. — Frank Mele iz K ir klan d Uke, Ontario, Kanada, je obiskal svojegs strica Andreja Meleta na 14411 Westropp ave., ki je bil tako poškodovan na delu pri železnici NYC, da je izgubil obe nogi. Pri Meletovih pravijo doma v starem kraju "pri Kunču". On je član društva 53, o čemer je že nekdo pisal. Pri vodstvu bolnišnice sem iz-posloval, da so zdravniki piaali pismo Franku v Kanado in iz-poslovali, da je lahko obiskal strica. V Clevelandu je bil 27., 28. in 29. septembra.

Zahvala aa prlananje
Cleveland. — P« m i pisani se želi zahvaliti delegaciji zadnje konvencije SNPJ za priznanje v obliki izvolitve v Uonvenčnl od sek za prošnje in pritožbe. Kljub temu, da sem bil med najbolj poznanimi zborovalcl, vendar nI sem pričakoval, di bi bil izvoljen v kak odbof n tako velikim številom glasov, Menda ate pri tem imeli v mislih moje zasluge za SNPJ in za dnevnik Prosveto.
Druga zahvala pa velja članom tega odbora, ker so me izvolili za predacdnikit V tem odboru ao bili sledeči Jakob Stonich. pionir in starosta konvencije in sploh menda tudi najatarejši član SNPJ Br Stonich ima že KI let na grbL toda je le pravi korenjak. Naš odbor in menda tudi vaa konvencija vam želi še na mnoga leta v zdravju in za-dovoljatvu — najmanj ato let
John Tauchar. delegat društvs 5 in tajnik SND v Clevelandu. je bil tajnik našena odbora, in sicer točen in dober tajnik. Med sabo smo imeli tudi žensko, tako da amo bili ljudje, in aicer seatro Jtmephine Močnik, predilnico Naprednih Slovenk 137 Tudi ona nam je veliko pomagala pri reševanju rade v s dobrimi nasveti. Na svojem mestu je bil tudi John Koaich* delegat društva SSPZ is Chicaga. Naj omenim, da je imel ta naš
- Glas po konvenciji Weet Allla. Wia.—Vem, da bodo o zadnji konvenciji SNPJ različna mnenja. Nekateri' jo bodo opiaavali v šaljivem tonu, drugi resno. Zadnjim se tudi jaz pridružim.
Lahko rečem, da so delegatje mojega mišljenja zapustili to konvencijo bolj razočarani kakor zadovoljni. Ko je pri nekem gla-sovanju le peščica has dvignila roke proti, me v bližini sedeča delegstinjs opozori, da sva midva večkrat v manjšini. Odgovorim ji, da svs se temu pač že privadila, bodisi pri političnih ali unijskih,volitvah, pa se nama tudi tukaj bolje ne godi.
Za prihodnjo konvencijo bi svetoval, naj se nsbsvi zvočnik za vsakega delegat«, da se bo bolj slišala befeda tudi kakega Jimmyja Hlgglnsa, kl na vso moč vpreže svojs podrta pljuča, da bi nekaj povedal, ampak ga sliši le skupina okrog njega, kar he napravi nobenega vtisa na splošno delegacijo. Ni torej čudno, če je bila lists kandidatov za Tft. konvenčne odbore tako dolga, kajti skozi odbor lažje uveljaviš svoje želje, pa naj bodo v bolje aH slabše za poslovno ali nsčelno stran organizacije. Seveds je odborom ns razpolago^ tudi zvočnik, ki igra vsžno, sploh odločilno vlogo.
Eden izmed neprevidnih zs-ključkov konvencije je ts, ker se nI upoštevelo koraka naprej in znižalo število delegatov prihodnje konvencije. Jednota ra ste ln bo rasls, kar nsm je v ponos, smpsk s tem vred se bo večalo tudi zastopstvo ns kon ven ciji, kar ne bo v nobeno korist člsnstvu in jednoti. Ds ni prodrl predlog od borove msnjšine, je bil izgovor v tem, ds bi bile potem še večje nerednosti pri vo-litvsh delegstov kskor so bile za to konvencijo. Toda nerednosti bodo tako dolgo, dokler ne bo določena ostra kszen za tiste, ki ovirajo pravilne volitve delegstov. Ali bodo ksznovanl tisti, ki so tej konvenciji povzročili nepotrebne stroške pri reševanju spornih zadev glede nepravilno izvoljenih delegatov?
Drugo je seveds'enostavno, ds bo treba za bodoče konvencije najeti velike dvorane, in zvočnik bo aeveda moral igrati glavno vlogo.
Marsikdo ae je pehal, da bi bil izvoljen za delegata za pitta-burško konvencijo. Toda predstavljajte ai, kako ae počutite, ko greate na predavanje in morate sedeti po dve url na navadnem stolu aključent. Gotovo ai želite, da bi govornik čim prej nehal. Te "udobnoati" sm > bili deležni na tej konvenciji akozi devet dni in pol. Kolena ao nam služila za mize, kjer smo imeli svoje kon venčne stvari Vem. da je med članstvom zavrlščalo radi dvanajatdolarsklh dnevnic, toda dvomim, da bi ae kateri tistih, ki je gladi) atol. hotel zopet vrniti v Pittaburgh pod enakimi pogoji.
Skoraj pred vaa ko konvencijo še pojavi kakšno — "gibanje". Letotnjemu "gibanju" ao nekateri dali Ime — "ienaka enakopravnost."^ Ju sem ga že v za-
četku krstil za ženski nacionalizem, kar v resnici je bilo dro tega gibanja. Rezultat je, da smo napredovali s stališče nacionalizma, toda bojim ee. da smo nezadovaii s stališča načelnosti. Vse to sem pričakoval, ker pač živimo v času nacionalizma, v dobi breznačelno-sti. Da utrdim to trditev, naj povem, da se delegacija na tej konvenciji ni grupirala po načelih, ampak po okrajih; ni bi}o glavno vprašanje, kdo naj bo izvoljen v glavni odbor, nego od kje naj bo.
Da je bila načelnost potisnjena v kot, se je pokazalo tudi pri tem, ko se je skušalo narediti prostor v uredništvu, čeprav tam ni tega proetora. Drugi eo aeveda hoteli izrabiti to priliko, da dobijo v uredništvo nekoga, ki bi imel proste roke pri izvajanju njihove politike, na primer elevelandske sorte. V to potezo je padla večina mlajše generacije pod pretvezo, da je tre-ba list izboljšati.
Meni se pa zdi, ako hoče mladina izboljšati angleško sekcijo Prosvete, jo bo morala sama izboljšati po kvaliteti, kajti urednik priobči, kar prejme. Ako se je mladina naveličala svojega lastnegs pisanja, tedaj je nekaj narobe in je odvisno od nje, da si list izboljša.
Uganka za nekatere pa je, kako to, da so glssno podprli omenjeno potezo tudi naši unijski voditelji od CIO, ki tako nagla-šajo pomen unijskegs znaka. Na tej konvenciji so glasovali za nekaj, kar je jasno določalo, da bo nekdo, ki je član unije CIO starostnimi pravicami, izgubil svoje delo. Če so to storili iz nevednosti, je sicer odpustljivo. Možno ps je tudi, ds so še oeta nek nekdanjih komunističnih zgsgsrjev, ki so nekoč rogovilili na konvencijah naie jednote. Ko jih vprašal o tem in onem, ti bodo seveda odgovorili, da se mora uničiti — "čikaško malino," dasi je U "mašina" veliko pripomogla, da imamo do sedaj organizacijo, ki je lahko v ponos tu d i vsakemu unijskemu voditelju, biti njen član aH jo zastopati ' na konvenciji. Uničevati eno "mašino", obenem pa delovati direktno aH indirektno za drugo, veliko bolj konservativno mašino, pač ni prikladno za unijske ljudi, ki povrhu ie pa-radirajo pod progresivno aH radikalno znamko.

Poročilo upravitelja jedqptinih publikacij
Cenjeni bratje in sestre:
Zopet smp ae skupaj zbrali, da podamo poročilo konvenciji delegatom naše dične organizacije SNPJ o poslovanju za dobo od zadnje konvencije, namreč za čas od I. jan. 1937 pa do >1. decembra 1940. Moje poročilo je ss Prosveto, Mladinski list in za tiskarno, katero je razdeljeno po usUno-vah in poleg ao tabele, ki pokažejo finančno obratovanje in stanje sa to dobo. PROS VETA
Ob času zadnje konvencije smo tiskali tednik Prosveto v 27,000 iztiaih, sedaj pa ae tlaka v 29,000 iztlsih; torej smo skozi to dobo naraall skoro za $Jto0, ker je jednota narasla v članstvu, tako da je Štela ob koncu leta 1940 38,940 članov v odraslem oddelku, kateri so upravičeni do tednika, tednik ae tlaka sa 10,102 številk manj; to pa zato, ker so teh članov tedniki prišteti k naročnini na dnevnik. Z malo izjemo sa skoro vso družine poglužljo tega, ko njih otroci doraatejo in gredo iz mladinskega v odrasli oddelek, namreč da pripišejo njih tednike ali glasilo k naročnini za dnevnic. Priobčena tabela pokaže koliko članov je prištetih k dnevniku.
Dnevnik amo tiskali ob zadnji konvenciji v 5,000 iztlsih in sedaj koncem leta 1940 smo jih tiskali z malo izjemo enako število, kar pomeni, da nismo napredovali niti nazadovali pri številu naročnikov. Včaaih je precejšnje število novih, kar bi lahko kdo mislil, da precej napredujemo, ampak stvar ni taka. Naši naročniki ao večinoma starejši člani, katerih nam mnogo pobere smrt in tako prenehajo biti naročniki. Iz tega je razvidno, da na oni strani dobivamo nove naročnike, a na drugi strani jih izgubimo skoro enako število in se tako balandra. Kot upravitelju Uata mi je dobro znano, da niti trije na tisoč naročnikov na puste lista dnevnika radi smernic ali nezadovoljstva pisanja v Prosveti. Imamo pa ie vedno precej takih, ki so brez dela ali zaslužijo tako malo, da se težko preživljajo ln naa prosijo, da se jim list pošilja na obljube ln upanje, ko pe ae bodo njih razmero Izboljšale, nam bodo vse pošteno plačali. To se seveda le redko kdaj zgodi, ker stari ljudje itak nimajo več prilike dobiti delo in ai opolnoči. Upravništvo vedno upošteva take prošnje in ustreže v veliki meri vsem. Z oglasi je vedno slabejše in vedno manj jih je mogoče dobiti. Fakt je, da ae menda več ne Izplača oglaševati v tujejezlčnlh listih. Sicer pa je to v korist čitateljem, ker dobe toliko več čtiva.

MLADINSKI UST:
Mladinski list se tiska v 7,800 iztiaih, kar je le par sto več kakor ob zadnje konvencije. List je priljubljen in spoštovan med mladmo in H odrasli člani ga radi čitajo. Sprememba, ki smo jo napravili letos se platnice tiakajo v raznih barvah. To je naredilo precej dober vi in zadovoljstva v splošnem.
TISKARNA!
V poslovanju pri tiskarni tudi nI bilo nobenih posebnih sprema v dobi od zadnje konvencije pa do konca leta 1940. Posebnega pn bi nismo naredili v tej dobi, ker smo se držali sklepa še predzadnje konv clje, ko se je znižala cena za tiskanje Pcosvete tako nizko, ds ravno kako.krije atroške za delo ln material. Če je ravno kaj prebitka, ie navadno porabi v pomoč kritja stroškov Prosvete ali v druge take nim za publikacije, torej ves prebitek, ako ga je kaj, se navadno večji del rabi v korist dnevnika. Kako smo poslovali finančno, pokate v tem p< Čilu priobčena tabela. Naj omenim, da se je zadnje čgse vse precej dražilo, bodisi splošni tiskarski material in papir, kar pomeni več izdati

Takoj po prečltanju te resolucije br. Zupan predlaga in br. Frank Vidmar podpira, naj se izroči odboru za pravila.
Po kratki razpravi br. Cvetkovich protipredlaga in br. Vrata-rich podpira, naj se resolucija sprejme in odbor za pravila obvesti o njenih določbah. <
Posredovalni predlog, da se resolucijo uroči odboru za pravila, je sprejet. '
Po raznih ptatestlh glede tega sklepa, ln pa ker je delegacija očividno hotela še debatirati o tej zadevi, br. Vrataric^ predlaga, da se prejšnji sklep poruši in debata o tej resoluciji nadaljuje. Predlog sprejet*'nad dvetretjinsko večino glasov.
Br. Liach predlaga, in br. Stokel podpira, naj se predložena resolucija sprejme.	, '
Sledi debata, v kateri gl. tajnik priporoča, naj se obdrži sedanji sistem za urad vrttovnega zdravnika jednot£, namreč da ga naja-me gl. odbor, kateremu je tudi odgovoren za svoje delo. Govori več navzočih za in proti. Nekateri ao mnenja, da moramo obvestiti zavarovalnlnski oddelek države Illinois, če hočemo uvesti spremembo, kot določa resolucija. Drugi zopet smatrajo, da je to naša zadeva in lahko sklenemo, kako bomo v bodoče, oziroma že na tej konvenciji volili vrhovnega zdravnika. Nadalje se nagla-ša, če ima gl. odbor moč najemati Jednotinega zdravnika, je ta odgovoren le gl. odboru, ako pa je izvoljen na konvenciji, pa je odgovoren prihodnji konvenciji in članstvu v splošnem. In tudi kot gl. odbornik postane aktivnejši sa jednoto. Udeležuje sa od-borovih »ej, debatira o jednotinih problemih in v glasilo pogosteje piše higienlčfte članke, kar tudi koristi članstvu, ker dobi zdravniške nasvete zastonj.
Sestra Opeka predlaga in br. Fifolt podpira, naj se debata o tem zaključi; Predlog sprejet.

Društvene priredbe
Kmalu bo tukal ...
Chicago, III.—Da, kmalu bo tukaj ... Samo dobrih deset dni in društVtr Slavija bo praznovalo običajno letno vinsko trgatev v dvorani SNPJ. Najbrže nekateri rojaki že nestrpno pričakujejo, da bodo zopet navzoči na tej priredbi, ki Je med vsemi
društvenimi prlredbsml v Chicagu najbolj priljubljena. To dokazuje velika udeležba na vseh dosedanjih "vinskih trgatvah", ki jih Je priredila Slavija. Priljubile so se tako, da bi rojaki v Chicagu «n okolici zelo pogrešali te vrste priredbe.
Vsled tega se z gotovostjo pri čakuje velika udeležba tudi na letošnji "vinski trgatvi", ki se vrši v soboto, 11, oktobra. Vzrok
temu je zelo nizka vstopnina, samo trideset centov, kar je Izredno malo, ko se vse tako sa-lamensko draži in ker so se v zadnjem času radi nenormalnih časov delavske razmere nekoliko Izboljšale.
Program na tej priredbi bo Isti kot vedno: Viničarjl in vini-čarke—brhki fantje in dekleta v vinogradu, polnem sočnega grozdja vseh vrst, okusnih Jabolk in hrušk, iz listov vinake trte bo pa sramežljivo kukal kak knrunček itd. Ob tej priliki bo v vinogradu odprti zidanica, ako bo gostilničarju mogoče dobiti dovoljenje za ptodttjo novega vi na oziroma mošta Muti županja Je že obljubila, du bo napravila toliko Štrukljev, da bo mogoče pogostiti tudj goste, ako bodo dovolj pridni. Ostalega prigrlz ka vseh sort bo tudi dovolj na razpolago za lačne, za žejne bo pa tudi preskrbljeno, da ne bo nihče trpel, pa če Ima tudi gobo v grlu.
Vstopnice so v prodprodujl pri Članih ln članicah društva Sla vije, dobite jih tudi pri tajniku Antonu Trojarju, ki jih bo vam rad poslal tudi po poki, ako mu telefonirate— Rockwell 4904. • Za veaellčni odbor—

— The1 12th regular convention of the SNPJ is now over and th« long avvaited merger txtween the SNPJ and SSPZ has been finally achieved. A nevv chapter haa been vvritten with this aetion into our history.
It wou)d be well now for aH other Slovene fraternal societies to con-sider merging with the largest Slovene fraternal society in America— the Slovene National Benefit So-ciety—which position ,it has already held even prlor to the merger for many years. But the merger as such makes the Society even strong-er and larger.
Most of the executives of the for-mer SSPZ are now also officers-elect of the SNPJ and will assume thcir duties as per dec is ion and pro-vision in the by-laws. And the name SNPJ has been retained. which ls as it should be. Now that we are one, let's redouble our efforts and make it a much larger SNPJ.

The hustle and bustle, the many friends created. wlll be remembered for quite a while. Those not present vvill be informed of the business transacted thru the medium of the Prosveta. A11 changes, too numerous to men-tion, were made vvith the sole thought in mind of benefiting the members as well as the organization. The progressive špirit of for-mer SSPZ members vvas evidenced throughout proceedings. Much good is expected by the merger. Comrades welcome their neighboring sister lodges, Spaftans, Con-cordians and others to participate in aH their activities.

Belleve Don Lotrich years ago suggested some sort of schooling for lodge secretarles. With the many changes, nevv policles, being in-stituted, this is more so required to-day. Some plan could be worked out by the Supreme Office, if not on a natlonal scope than state or district. A secretary of the lodge is responsible for. its success, the bet-ter versed he or she ls, the more tools they are provided vvith, the more benefits vvill be reallzed by
the organization.

ST. LOU1S, MO.—As "We" ar-rived in the convention city, Union Station, we were greeted by a former St. Louisian. "Smoke Pall," but fortunately the Fort Pitt hotel being nearby made it convenient.
Saturday nite, Sept. IS, no doubt everyone returned with their right hand in a "sling" due to ali the hand shakes, as we met numerous ole timers and made new acquaint-ances.
Monday, Sept. 15, at 9 a. m. a thunderous applause of welcome Was given to the SSPZ delegation as they marched in two abreast into the seasion room to join their brothers and sisters of the mother SNPJ to be as ONE and work as ONE big family, for the same principles, greater achievements and a bigger than ever SNPJ.
Liberty Street was the congrega-tion and vvalking center for the delegates, and don't be surprised if the SNPJ receives a bili for; a new sidevvalk. In the evening you would ■ee some delegates roaming around homesick, some talking in groups, others singing in Slovene, and the balance sitting around in the hotel lobby watching the folks go by. Ali the entertainment was held at the Slovene Hali, 57 blocks from the hotel, and it's too bad that the first day of session the convention committee didn't bring up a motion to buy a streetcar.
The Ivan Cankar Dramatic So-ciety from Cleveland deservcs a bouquet, for their splendid pre-sentation of that marvelous play "Norec" (Maniac). The čast was perfect, and performed in profes-ilrnufl »tylft. M. MedveSek had a difficult role as Norec, which re-minded you of Boris Karloff.
The Pennsy Juvenile Circles showed their talents, and repre-sentation, to the delegation, but where vvere the Pennsy E. S. lodges?
Many thanks to the various singing societies from near and far who have rendered such fine selections.
The banquet was one event that those present said, "H only the folks at home could be here to witness the occasiOn."
Convention Gossip: Jane Fradel from Latrobe took the delegates' wives to "see the town." Thanks. Lud Vogrich had to go out and buy cotton to stuff his <ears as his room-mate was disturbing his peaceful sleep. Congrats to Bro. Stonich from Los Angeles, Calif., who at
age of 81 stili U an SNPJ live wire, and was the oldept delegate preaent Mayor Scully of Pittsburgh was so proud of him that he gave him a box of cigars.
Two delegates, Frank Rupnik from Nova Scotia, Can., and Anton Septar. Nanoimo, B. C., Can., traveled over 5000 miles and de-serve a hand for tak ing interest and for promoting activity in our Canadian SNPJ lodges.
Were proud to have as a Minnesota delegate. Senator John Blatnik Jr., a handsome young man. Ves Siree, a Slovene senator who takes time out for our SNPJ. Bro. Louis Lesar, Eveleth, Minn., is an-other Minnesota delegate who is a city councilman. The Ambrozics from Eveleth, Minn., visited Wash-ington, D. C., en route to the convention. They promlae a "brass band and parade to meet the SNPJ delegation in 1945.
Lefty Lotrich got so lonesome be bought himself a Scottie, "Musta ča," and you should see him drag the animal around on the leath up and down the hotel lobby, saying, 'Those ladies can't get ahead of me."
Bro. PodborSek certainly was the "Man of the Hour." Cleveland should feel honored to have as their citizen honorable vratar Podbor Sek. He had a special section for the officers' and delegates* wives, which he called "sr*kl" (hearts) Sis. Agnes Heldenreich, from Chicago, came to the banquet by plane, and said there'« nothing bQtter than traveling by plane.

delegates miseed Louis K ose le at this convention. Milan Tro»tr from New York City, vvho is a muaic teacher and plays the clarinet in the symphony, attended the convention for several days. Just men-tion war to Br9. F. Cheligoy of Cleveland and he wiil teli you his experiences during the last world. Je grozno! Yuu should hear Ann J. Benigor, ol Chicajo; A. Simčič, du belj, Ann Zarnick and the rest of those Slovenes from Cleveland sing those beautiful Slovene mclUiie«. They seem to put the oomph into it.
The Fort Pitt manuger said, "I don't wish the delegates any bad luck, but wish they'd stay a month." 1 guess so. Ali in aH, after 12 days in Smoky City, we were aH glad to get home.

Buckeyes' Bits
By OH
BARBERTON, OHIO.—Dear Mitz: —Nelle and I having been away these many week-ends of late, we had no talks vvith you on your visit« home.
Our recuperation from the Chicago SNPJ Day was just a breeze and so we looked forward to the convention activities in Pitt. You're just as thrilled as we are, know, a bout the merger of SSPZ and SNPJ. No use for two such organizations running around loose. Much better together.
Xhe first week-end of the con-^en^on found some wonderful pro-grams featuring the Sharon and Midway juvenile circles. Our par-ticular joy was the kids' version of the old Slovene folk dances. It was terrific and the audience lappcd it ali up!
The second week-end, we got to the Fort Pitt hotel ln the middle of the Convention Banquet and Program, but what we heard of it was bit of aH right. Mike Kumer and hia committee deserve a couple of hozannas for their work in making things pleasant for the delegates and friends of SNPJ.
Did you get to hear that radio program, sis? The folks around here reported fine reception on their sets and I'm told it was greatly enjoyed We girls miased out on the ses-sions but, you know, the oldest delegate was 81 year old Jacob Stonich of Califomia. Wonderful ^to be so active at that agef We finally had a glimpse of California'« "Big Tony —of whom we heard so much during the last convention—playing his con certina. . . We even ator, John Blatnik, delegate from Mmneaota.
Then the word "Konfuzia", relic of the laat convention, kept croppin« up around and about. . . It was fuiv ny to walk down the corridors of various floors and hear so much Slovene talk. "Ah. sem prestar za pleaatt" said one of Um* men when his wlfe wanted to dancr' But taint t The older folks put us ali to shame when Yankovlc announr.^ the "luftar polka" and thr "pr^ f tanr"—eome funti That onr week end, Nelle and 1 tastod of the Am brozie hospitality again and It was super-auper as always. Just Mk« that drive to tbe bus termUiel with Mr Ambrozic and Mr J Bnoy, two fine SNPJera.

Juvenile Circles
Clrcle SI on Cenvontlon Program ln Pittsburgh Sept. 20
SHARON, PA.—On Sept. 13. the "AH Around" Juvenile Circle, No. 21, went to Pittsburgh to take part in the program of the 12th convention of the SNPJ. It was *11 very eaclting.
We left Sharon at 2 o clock Satur-, day afternoon and arrived at Pittsburgh at 5:30. There were 80 person« on the bus. U waa rather crowded, but I don't think anybody noticed it because of the eacitement and enthusiaam. The scenery on the way down waa beautiful.
The Midwfiy Circle. No. 22, alao wns on the convention program and gave an excellent play. The group of girls from Pittaburgh that sang was another of the many numbers on the program. They, too, gave a fine performance, and, I think, everybody enjoyed the other muai-cal and vocal number« preaented by the various individuals and groups.
Then, last but not least, was our Circle. The members of the singing club sang a few selected numbers. Then we did a couple of Slovene folk dancoa. It was a very colorful spectacle. The dancers were dressed in costumes of the Slovene peasants. It was just a sparkling array of colors.
We want to thank Miss Mitzie An-zur for hyr splendid accordion play-ing and Mias Mildred Novak for her

Local news that will interest you is that the Buckeycs are having Bowlers' Hop on Oct. 18 at the Do^ movina Hali and Taffy's popular band wili be the hi-lite for the nite Interest at home and abroad is at fever pitch and it's good to know that aH those Veronians and other Pennsy folk will be here to revel vvith us. There is a possibility that the Chicago lads will make an ap-pearance and 'twould be niče to 1 the old Comrade and Beacon gangs here along vvith our Struggler and Loyalite friends. The lads and las sies are fast selling their tickets that will mean some lucky person will vvin a bowling bali, bag or thoes. Those who haven't received their books of tickeU as yet should contact Sec'y Mary Apchak or Chuck Dormish,
That reminds me that Mary Apchak has finally eome back home after her two week vacation with the Prevics of Wilkinsburg. We sure did mis her. Back in the fold, too, is Steffie Matozel who enjoyed her three vveek jaunt to the West Coast. The gal sure is "seeing America first"!
Did you hear the national radio program called "Proudly We Hail" last Friday? If so. you might have enjoyed hearing their broadcast of the story of the Seiberllng Rubber Co's contributibn to naUonal de-fense. The story of the bullet seal-ing tube for the army's use waa tn-teresting in Itaelf and doubly so because lt's manufartured here and in-volved names you were familiar with thru your pre-marltal contact mH^a state seri-J^lth that eompany.
At thlsVrlttng. the Burkeye lads are bowling theii first league game «f the eeaaon at the C 8» M alieys and we girb must make ia a pt»lnt to cheer Vm on from the sldellnes during the seaaon.

Minutes of Meeting of Supreme Board of Slovono National Benefit Societjf
Held August 7,8,9,1941, at Headquarter», 2657 S. Lawndale Ave.,
Chicago, Illinois
, *'	(ConUoued from last week)
Supreme* sccretary presents plan for Endow-ment insurance which wu prepared by the ac-tuary The assessment scale ii baaed on 2Vfc% interesi rate as it has become almost impoasible to get securities with higher . arnings. The aa Kumrnl is rather high. theretore. Alao, there wUl probably be trouble to get permits in »orne ata teh for this claas of certificate, as one organiza tion has already espertenced this in Pennsylvania and he u inforrned that New York sUte also no longer permits issuing thia certificate. He pre senta thia plan according to the instructions of the laat convention, and has studied it carefully. H is conciusion is that this insurance is not desirable „.. ior our Society; conditions have changed so much recently that It would not be to the Society's ad-vantage to sUrt this plan of insurance.
Discusaion follows. Lotrich, Zarnik, Vidrich, Medvesek support the plan and insist that it is A absolutely neccssary to issuc various kinds of cer-tificates and not only one kind; young people particularly demand cndowment insurance. Ali Slovene societies have this «ystem escept ours, and U it is beneficlal for thern it should be for us also.
« Zupan ezplains that a special Senate committee investigated ali the large insurance companies, and in ita report ehdowmcnt insurance is men-tioned also, but nowhere in the report is it recom-rnended for the ressort that it is not advanUgeous to the insured. It ia better to have ordinsry Ufe insurance and to depoait the difference in pre-mium in a aavings account. At the end of the period, the insured would have almost the same
___sum ln the bank and stili be insured; wherea«,
with an endowmehf poIicy T»e wouid receive ~lhe amount of hls policy and would no longer be in-I eured, It is a fact also that a certain large insurance company has greatly limited this clasa of insurance. and if it has been unprofitable for this - powerful company why should our Society ac-eepl it?
Klanšek states that insurance agenta are not persistent in selling this insurance but rather the ordinary life insurance. They explain that one ' must atways consider hls ability to pay, and that is what we must consider also.
• Olip moves that in vlew of explanations and Information given. it shall not be recommended to the convention to establish endowment insurance; further, that under the supreme secretary'a supervision sli Information necesaary on the twenty-year endowment policy, showing why this insurance is not desirable ahall be printed ln pamphlet form and submitted to the convention and delegates. Motion seconded.
Vidrich moves to accept the submitted plan for this insurance, and to recommenji it to the convention. Motion seconded.
Vidrich'a contrary motion recelvca 6 votes for, 10 against. For Olip's motion, 11 votes, 0 agalnst, theretore it ia carried.
Gradlšek presenta questlon of $2 sick benefit clasa. As decided at last supreme board meeting, he has prepared a revised scale of benefit and some other changes for the convention, to whlch the benefit scale passed at the 1033 convention will be submitted for accepUnce; otherwise, there will be the question of increaslng assessment in the $2 class in amount of 20c monthly. The best plan *ould be to*accept the recommended scale. Aa for the |1 class, there la no danger that it wouid run into similar difflcultles because it has a large surplus and therefore no changes are nec* vasary in thia clasa. The $3 claas la a special clasa, which no longer admits new members and it will
have to be self-supporting It has quite a strong reserve at this Ume. .
Vider reads actuary's sUtisUcal report of pay-rnents in $2 sick benefit class ln 1040 which execu-Uve committee ordered It gives amounU re-ceived and paid in various aga groups, and cal-culated assessment of each group which would cover disbursements.
In debate which follow« It is agreed that it ls best if convention wiil accept the new sick benefit scale; inerease in assessment is not desirable. and it would be even worse to retain the preeent scale which would be sure to requira afecial assessment later.	, **
Petrovich believes the report of $2 class would be interesting and instruetive to the members also, and that it should be published in Prosveta.
Vider ezplains that report was j ust received, and will be published shortly. __ _________ _____
Cainkar reports receipt of telegram from Bro. Bolka stating he is unable to attend meeting because of important union duties. and that he is mailing his report. Notice ordered filed, and Bolka exeused.
Medvesek moves that Prosveta agent A. Janko-vich be awarded $50 on occasion of paper's 25th annlversary. Tercelj believes that no exceptions should be made, and ali reprasentaUves awarded, as for insUnce, Anton Zornik who has been work-ing for our publlcation slnce 1918. Vidrich states that Bro. Cvetan is also dolhg this work and should be recognized. OUp suggesU that If any-one ls to be awarded fbr this occasion, first con-sideration should be glven to the head edltor who has given 29 years to our publlcatlona. Godlna suggests also represenUtive Bro. Barborich of MIlwaukee. Motion carried to pay foikmtng awards to ProaveU agenta: Jankovich $50, Zornik $25, Cvetan $15. Barborich $10.

Secretary presents report of Bro. F. Groser, Athletic board secretary.
Supreme Board members:
Biro. Frank Bolka, chairman of the Athletic board, has asked me to aubmit to you a report on athletics, aince he is detained by important business. I wlll try brlefly to wrlte sueh a report.
Since your last meeting the National bowling tournament was held ln Detrolt, Mich. Although the team entry was not aa large aa ln prevlous years, the doubles and singles entries were almost the same. The Athletic board at its meeting in Detrolt discussed the reason for the decllne ln entries, and after thorough Investlgatlon found that lodges that had to travel to Detrolt dld not have as large entries as ln the past because some of the bowlers were drafted and a large majorlty were working either Saturday or Sunday. Some of these cou|d not get tirne off from work. while others could not aliord to Uke time off.
For softball there has been a decline in the number of teama entered thia year, and in dla-cussing this with the different lodges have found Uiat the main reason for this condition is that the members do not Uke the time to participate, since they are ali working at least 6 days a week; be-fore a large number of them were not working. Another reaaon ia that softball incurrs a large ex-penae which most lodges flnd impossible to fi-, nance from year to year. Regardless of these facts this year's tournament ls sure to be as sue-cessful as those in the past. There wlll again be foUr distriets, as last year. Triglav of Johnatown has alreudy won their dlstrlct championship, and
the other three are being decided at the preeent time.
The Athletic committee decided to sppropriate $15 to Juveniie Circles sponsoring softball teams. Although not much interest is being shown. this being because of the lateness of our decision, it is sure to receive more interest next year. If softball is to be continued it must be sponsored on a large scale in the Circles as they are future members for senior. teams, the same as they are future act i ve members in the senior lodges.
At the Athletic board meeting in Detroit we recommended to the Eaecutive committee that the present board be allowcd to funetion until the coming convention decldes on the future program of athledcs. They did not act on this matter, since the Supreme board has the power to act, s this recommendation is presented to you for con-sideration.	'
The membership meeting to be held in connec-tion with the National SNPJ Day wili be an important one as athletics future course ln the So-ciety will be discussed, and any of you members participating ln the eelebration are invited to attend this meeting.	FRANK GROSER.
Report accepted.
Shular moves that Executive committee shall pay reasonable compensation to members of AthleUc board at the end of the year. Carried. H
Secretary reports that NFC conference will bc held in September at San Franclsco. Motion carried that due to convention no representative wiH be sent.
Secretary presents amendments to by-laws prepared on bas is of decialons of last meeting:
In seetion 10, paragraph beginning "Alternates of executive . . " shall be cancelled becauae seetion 11 gives this power to Supreme board. Ap-( proved.
Seetion 34—Soclety publications, is discussed. Petrovich moves that in fourth paragraph, last two words ln 5th line and 6th and 7th lines shall be changed to read as follows: . . except arti-cles and discussions on Society and lodge matters, which must be presented to executive committee for decision. The party not satisfied with execu-tive committee decision may appeal to supreme board, whose decision shall be flnal." Approved.
Zaitz recommends that 3rd paragraph of seetion 34 be cancelled aa this is not praetised. Vider explains. Molek moves that paragraph shall read: "No lodge, federatlon or group of SNPJ members may issuc any publlcation without permission and control of supreme executive committee. Vio-lations of this provision are llable to punishment upon trial as provided in these by-laws.M Approved.
Sections 44 and 36 approved as amended. Dis-cussion on seetion 55; motion by Zaitz that the word "only" in third line, last paragraph, shall be cancelled. Carried.
Sections 56, 66. 68, 69, 70 approved as amended.
Medical examiner, who is present at meeting, gives his report.
Report of Medical Examiner
Since my last report submitted to the Supreme Board st their seml-annual meeting, I have as uaual performed ali of the duties requlred of me as supreme medical eaaminer, malnly consisting of examining and approving applicatlons of per-sons who have applied for membership ln the Society, including both the adult and juveniie.
In regard to the chahges made ln the by-laws, permitting payment far operations which were not provided for previously, I wlsh to report that this new method is highly successful and satlsfac-tory to aH of the members who have been affected by them. In my judgement, It ls a more equlUble manner of making paymenU for operations in view of the modern technique ln operatlve work.
I alao have received \the uaual number of let-ters from members ln various pariš of the country asking my advice in connection with certain ail menta, and have endeavored to assist them if at ali possible, although 'ia the majority of cases it is impoasible to be of, much asiistance without making- a thorough personal physical kamina tion.
During this period, and in the yeara past, I have

Sometimes members under 65 ara in greater need than older members, and ln this čase ofton receive conslder-ably more than the monthly assessment. The Society's principle is to help those who are in need. Lodges must exercise control over this, however, to avoid explolUtloh.
