V petek popoldne je preminil na svojem domu poznani John Vrečar (Racher), star 62 let. Rojen je bil leta 1880 ter je bil doma iz pod Molnike, fara Št. Lenart pri Ljubljani, odkoder je prišel v Ameriko leta 1902. Najprvo je prišel v Aliquippa, Pa., leta 1918 pa v Niles Ave., kjer se je potem ves čas nahajal. Pokojni je bolehal skoro tri leta, a je še vedno delal do pred enim mesecem, ko ga je bolezen prisilila v posteljo. Opravljal je mizarska dela pri Ohio Galvanizing Co. odkar se je nahajal v Nilesu. Bil je član društva št. 481 SNPJ in društva Sloga št. 43 SDZ ter Oltarnega društva pri fari sv. Štefana.

Ponavadi pa se je zgodilo, da je bil požar ene same hiše usoden za celo naselje. Tudi pozneje, ko so že imeli ročne črpalke, vedno ni bilo gasilstvo tako popolno opremljeno da bi lahko pri količkaj večjem požaru obvladalo uničevalno silo ognja. Res, da je ročna črpalka pomenila znaten napredek v primeri z go-lidami, ki so jih napolnjene z vodo, z vrvmi vlačili na strehe, vendar še daleč ni bilo mogoče doseči tistega učinka, kakor ga dosežejo današnje motorne črpalke, ki so še poleg tega kar hitro pripravljene za pogon.

O Jugoslaviji omenja, da naše uporno prebivalstvo zdaj dobiva po različnih potih dovolj orožja in da se je radi tega uporno gibanje zelo ojačilo. Tudi na Grškem so se razvila močna središča oboroženega odpora. Vse to zadržuje osišče, ki z vso naglico utrjuje balkanske obale.

Jutri bom £°spod — danes sem pa ne razumeš, da bo to, baš to moja osveta. Ubiti tebe? Kaj misliš, da bi se mogel s tem zodovoljiti? Zahtevam tvojo smrt in tvoje onečaščenje, da, to hočem. Tu umreš. In v to kolibo zaklenem tvoje in truplo tvoje ljubice. A jutri, ko te najdejo tu tvoji prijatelji, tvoji tovariši, ki o njih govoriš, poreko o tebi — veš kaj ? Strahopetec! Skril se je tu s svojo ljubico, da bi se mu ne bilo treba boriti, dočim so njegovi tovariši umirali! — Takega zločina niste zmožni! — je vzkliknil Robert, a i Carmen je izbuljenih oči in vsa iz sebe od groze poslušala ta pogovor, ne da bi kaj videla ali razumela. — Mar si ti okleval, ko si se pripravljal na zločin? Ukradel si mi zakonsko čast, jaz ti pa vzamem vojaško čast. Pozor torej ! Brani se! In vrgel mu je sabljo k nogam, a drugo je krepko stisnil v desnici. Robert jo je hotel pobrati. — Ne, ne — je zaklical naenkrat, — moje življenje zdaj ne pripada meni. Jutri pa lahko razpolagate z menoj. — Strahopetec! Mar ti naj prisolim zaušnico? In pograbil je svojo rokavico ter udaril mladega častnika z njo dvakrat po obrazu. Robert je divje kriknil in pograbil sabljo. Zunaj je divjala nevihta vedno bolj. Neprestano se je bliskalo in grmelo. Tudi krvavi boj še ni bil dobojevan. Tekmeca v boliki sta pa poznala samo svojo mržnjo in željo po osveti. Sablji sta krožili okrog njunih glav, križali sta se in žvenketali, ne da bi se ta ali oni nasprotnik umaknil le za korak. Zdelo se je že, da zmaguje Saint-Hyrieix, ki je bil večji in močnejši od ritmojstra. Kar je s silnim udarcem izbil mlademu častniku sabljo iz rok. Potem je pa njegova sablja v strašnem zamahu zažvižgala po zraku. Začul se je grozen krik. Videč, kakšna nevarnost preti njenemu ljubčku, je Carmen skočila med oba moža. Sablja jo je zadela v prsa in zgrudila se je. — Morilec, — je zakričal Robert. In znova je pograbil svojo sabljo ter se postavil v bran. — Zdaj si pa ti na vrsti! — je zaškripal z zobmi. Curek krvi se je prikazal na Saint-Hyriexovem vratu in rami. čuteč, da je ranjen, je planil Saint-Hyrieix ves besen nad mladega častnika in mu zabodel sabljo naravnost v prsa. Robert je izpustil sabljo in se zgrudil k nepremično ležeči Carmen. Maščevani mož je izginil, ne da bi se ozrl na nezvesto ženo in njenega ljubčka. Ni pa še napravil sto korakov, ko je nekdo srdito zaklical: — Stoj! Nekdo mu je posvetil v obraz — Ta spada med gospodo, — je izpregovoril isti glas. — Še ena mrcina! Ubijfce ga! Počil je strel. Saint-Hyrieix se je zgrudil zadet v prsa. In uporni kaznenci so izginili v temo. Ves ta čas je ležal Robert nepremično v kolibi. Ni bil mrtev, toda vse se je zavilo pred njegovimi očmi v meglo, vse, strašna drama, ki je igral v nji tudi on svojo vlogo, i boreči se ljudje, i po nebu švigajoče strele i njegova izgubljena čast. Sanjal je in zdelo se mu je v tej čudni samopozabi, da je Carmen pri njem, da se njuna usta dotikajo in da boste vedno tako skupaj. Sanjalo se mu je, da je zrak okrog njiju svež, dahteč, nebo sinje, a s Carmen da sta neskončno blažena. Toda te sanje niso trajale dolgo. Kmalu ga je streslo in zdramil se je. Glava mu je bila težka, srce je naglo utripalo. Nehote se je prijel za prsa. Iz rane je curljala kri in na prstih je začutil toplo tekočino. — Umiram, Carmen, — je za-šepetal. — Toda ti, ti si pri meni, je-li? In najini duši odideta skupaj in združita se na veke. Ihtenje mu je odgovorilo. Odprl je oči in v svitu bliskov je zagledal svojo ljubico, ki se je bila priplazila do njega. In kakor bi jo bil ljubčkov pogled zdramil iz omedlevice, je zašepetala ljubeče: — Robert! In tiho, s komaj slišnim glasom je pripomnila: — V smrti ... s teboj! Na veke! Nastavila rnu je usta k zadnjemu poljubu. Robert se ji je približal. Naenkrat se je pa spomnil vsega, kar se je bilo zgodilo. — Da! Tvoj mož je imel prav, ko se zdani, najdejo tu najini onečaščeni trupli. In tedaj se je z nadčloveškim naporom uprl smrtni omotici, ki ga je že obhajala. Hotel je živeti . . . živeti,' za vsako ceno . . . vsaj še nekaj minut. Za-tisnil si je z roko rano in se splazil na cesto, vodečo h kaznilnici. Hropel je in omedleval, ker so mu moči naglo pešale. — Če umrem, tem bolje, — je pomislil. — Tako bo pa vsaj moja čast rešena.

W. 84 St. in Al mira (Continued) Between Two Wars In accordance with the principle of self-determination, the Slovenes, Croats and Serbs were unified in a national state at the end of the first world war. A nationalist freedom made possible an unparalleled cultural and economic progress of all Yugoslavs. Yugoslavia, of course, stopped the process of denationalization. On the Slovene territory which belonged to Yugoslavia there lived among the 1,250,000 compactly settled Slovenes, 25,-000 Germans, of these 20,000 lived on the German linguistic isle of Kočevje. In contrast to the Germanizing policy of the Germans, Yugoslavia never adopted the process of Slo-venianization. The Germans retained their social structure'untouched and even strengthened themselves economically in the new state. The economic and social positions that the Germans retained in Yugoslavia, proved to be very important strategic bases for the third Germanizing offensive which began in April, 1941, after the collapse of Yugoslavia. Outside the boundaries of Yu- held themselves artificially in power with the aid of Vienna, which always favored the Italian minority to the detriment of the Slav majority. Among the Austrian Government officials, for instance, the Italians had a much larger number of employees than their population entitled them. Immediately after the occupation of the former Austrian province of the Coast-land, in 1918, the Italians promised the Yugoslavs preservation and development of their national individuality. A few months later a regime of terror began which completely overshadowed the methods of oppression used by Austria. Murder of innocent people, arson, torture of prisoners and deportation to concentration camps were invented by the Italians and applied to the Yugoslavs twenty years before Hitler started to use these methods on the enslaved nations of Europe. The tragic struggle of the Slovenes and Croats for the national existence in Italy is described in the book: "The Life and Death Struggle of a National Minority," by Dr. Lavo Čermelj. The fate of the 120,000 Slovenes which remained under Austria in Carinthia and were goslavia remained the Slovenes, who came under Italy, Austria later incorporated into the Ger- (Germany) and Hungary. For these Slovenes the process of denationalization continued, at a much faster pace and with more brutal methods than practised by Austria. By the Treaty of Rappallo and subsequent agreements, Italy received a territory on which 650,000 Yugoslavs (Croats and Slovenes) and about 300,000 Italians lived. In comparison with the Slavs, the Italians in former Austria-Hun-gary were politically and economically favored. The struggle for political, economic and social rights, which in other provinces the Slovenes had to carry on against the Germans, was also carried on in the province of the Coastland against the Italians.

So was the fate of the Slovenes who remained under Hungarian rule. Against both of them the process of denationalization, Germanization and Magyariza-tion continued, with improved methods. The Slovenes outside Yugoslavia doomed to become Italians, Germans and Magyars, represented ONE THIRD of the nation. Only the remaining two thirds enjoyed during the interval between the first and second World Wars, full national freedom in Yugoslavia. The Final Phase: Extermination of a Nation The final phase of the denationalization of the Slovenes began after the military collapse of Yugoslavia, when the Germans, Italians and Magyars ! divided among themselves the remaining territory of Slovenia. The Germans took the lion's share, Lower Styria and Upper Carniola with 850,000 people. Italy received Lower and Central Carniola, the so-called ; Ljubljana Province with about 350,000 inhabitants, while the : Magyars were given around 100,000 Slovenes. This final phase of denational-: ization has to achieve the ex- i termination of the nation in the ! shortest possible time. It com- bines the methods of Germani- zation of the first two phases improved by the experiences acquired by Italy in the de- nationalization of the Slovenes and Croats. From the first phase of Germanization two items were taken: (a) extermination o f leading national classes by mass murders and deportations; (b) systematic colonization of the acquired territory. From the second phase is taken the direct denationalization of the whole population. The tempo and brutality are of Italian origin. In this way the p o 1 i p y of denationalization which the Italians, Germans and Magyars had previously practised on the Slovenes in their power was pow spread all over Slovenia. The nation as a whole is doomed and has to disappear. One part has to become German, the second Italian and the third Magyar. Today we are witnessing the third act of a drama that began more than a thousand years ago. During this entire period of time, the Slovenes bravely defended their positions, withdrew step by step, but in the main retained their forces. Today Slovenia finds herself in a death struggle. Wifh the methods of an exact science, an experiment of physical extermination is being made on her, which, after a thorough test, shall be used on larger and stronger nations. What is happening in Slovenia today is the result of political methods introduced more than a thousand years ago. Essentially, these methods during this long period have not changed, except that they are now carried out to extreme logical results. The dynamics of history have clarified and crystallized them. The forces of evil that are today crushing Slovenia will, with an ever increasing fury, grip the whole world and destroy it, if they are not uprooted and all the nations given the assurance of an equal opportunity for a decent existence. A compromise that would sacrifice some nations in order to preserve the possibility of existence for others, would merely prove that the fundamental evil of our society is temporarily concealed. Secretly, however, it would carry on and gather its strength, then one day burst forth with a power that nothing-could stop. Neglecting to heed such a symptom, would result in the sacrifice of Slovenia. But the forces of evil, responsible for this crime, no less to be condemned because it is perpetrated on a small being, will sooner or later spell the doom of stronger and larger nations. In the following, we shall try to present the suffering of this living body, one of the smallest in the fellowship of European peoples. In describing events, we relied exclusively on the underground reports of eyewitnesses received by the Yugoslav Government in London, and on the printed material of the Allied Governments and occupation authorities.

Do not list more than a dozen of each category, and please give your reasons in concrete, factual terms for listing them. Please give me factual and anecdotal material on such recent and current figures on South-Slavic affairs as the following: Nikola Pasic "Apis" King Peter I Radomir Putnik King Alexander I Svetozar Pribicevic Stefan Radic Vladko Macek Janez Krek Anton Korošec Ivan Frank Frano Supilo Ante Starcevic Draga Mashin Peter Zivkovic Milan Stojadinovic Milan Nedic Ante Pavelic ("Poglavnik") Draza Mihajlovic ■ and his lieutenants Anton Natlačen Tito, Nagy, any other Partisan leaders Ivan Ribar Miroslav Krleža Ivan Cankar Dušan Simovic Momcilo Nincic King Peter II Prince Paul The Knezevic brothers. But please do not necessarily restrict yourself to these; tell me anything that you regard as significant or interesting about anyone else, even if not as well known as those above. What do you think are the chief reasons for the ease with which the Nazis and the Italian Fascists overran Yugoslavia in April 1941? How do you explain the amazing Yugoslav resistance to the Axis? What are the political and subjective drives of Pan-Serbian campaign against the Croa tian people as a whole which began early in '41 and is still going on? Has Pan-Serbianism any sort of future? Were or are there any figures in South-Slavic life who were or are incontestably great as were, say, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Whitman or the late Justice Holmes? If so, who were they and why are they comparable to Lincoln, Whitman and Holmes? If not, why not? You have heard the remark: a people have the government they deserve. Does this apply to the Serbians, Croatians and Slovenians during the career of Yugoslavia as a sovereign state? Why? Or why not? How do you define the struggle that has developed in occupied Yugoslavia between Mik hailovitch and the Partisans? Don't you think that, in spite of all her ups and downs between 1918 and 1940 and her quick collapse in '41, Yugoslavia was somewhat of a success? If so, in what way? Please be as concrete and specific as possible. How do you see the political and social-economic future of the Yugoslav peoples? Do you favor the restoration of Yugoslavia as it was before Hitler overran it? Is it possible? If you think it is, and you favor it ,why do you? How about a Yugoslav federation with large autonomy for the various regions? If you favor it, how do you visualize its organization? Where does the Karageoregevic dynasty come in? Or does it? If not, do you favor a republic? How about a Balkan federation or confederation? If you favor it ,how do you visualize it? Which countries would be included? How about their kings? Would you have a republic and rotate presidents by nationality? Or what? How can such a federation— whether Yugoslav or Balkan— be brought about? Would America and/or Britain favor! it? Would Russia? Could it come into existence in opposition to Russia's will ? Would you favor an anti-Russian or anti-Communist Yugoslav or Balkan state, assuming such a state is conceivable to you? Suppose Russia decides to extend her Soviet system over eastern Europe, including the Balkans—would you object? Why, or why not? Please send me names and addresses of people you may know who were in Yugoslavia early in 1941 or later and have some first-hand concrete information on what happened there in that period. * * * Again: please do not assume that I already know what you know. Write to me even if it is probable that you will not tell me anything I don't know. Do not hesitate to write me about things not covered by the above questions. I shall respect, of course, all limitations placed on the use of information sent to me.

Real Yank Now Neighborhood | Here'Tis Again Gossip By "The Tattler" A PEEP IN THE MIRROR? Here is a picture of the typical accident victim, drawn by the Greater Cleveland Safety Council. He was a pedestrian. He was middle-aged—not decrepit, but his eyes and ears were not quite as good as they used to be, and he had lost some of the agility of his youth. He was a little worried and preoccupied about business or family affairs, and he may have had a drink or two. He had never learned to drive a car. He was wearing dark clothing. He stepped out from between two parked cars in middle of the block. He lived in a fairly large city. When the car struck him, it was early in the evening, during the first hours of darkness. Do you see yourself in this picture? Then watch out, because statistics say you and the others like you are most likely to become a traffic accident victim! ■Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankee's star, joins up with Uncle Sam. He is shown in the induction center in Market Street, San Francisco. In picture at top he is taking his oath. At bottom he is being fingerprinted. Danger for Those Over 50 Let's all do our part to make Cleveland's streets safe for people over 50 years of age. The child is not the traffic problem that most people think. During the past two months there have been fourteen p ed e s t rians killed and eleven of them were persons over the age of fifty. If you are over fifty, now would be a good time to examine your walking habits. Do you obey traffic signals? Do you cross the street at crosswalks? Do you make sure that motorists see you before attempting to cross the street at night? Do you look both ways and make sure the way is clear before attempting to cross ? It will be he exceptional person who will be able to answer "yes" to all these questions because sometimes our minds are preoccupied and we are not as alert as wg should be. Three out of four accidents happen during the hours of darkness. It is well to remember to wear something white at night. —Bureau of Public Relations, Cleveland Police Dept. rhfiil mm ******** IN WAR BONDS ******* OATMEAL AS "EXTENDER' MAKES J LB.

Yes it's me the Tattler writing again to this paper or should I say trying to write? I got so lonely from not writing that I decided to start once again. Only this time for keeps. All our reporters except Snoopy were at the Waterloo dance Sunday, so I guess they'll give you about all the news you want, but I'll try to think of something that they won't report. The orchestra was very good. It was none other than the Pecon boys. I must say that they did draw a crowd. One thing that was bothering me that night was why was Julie Godic giving such looks to Ed Ivancic? Why is it that Joe Ivancic never dancies when he comes to the Waterloo dances? You're not scared of the girls are you, Joe? — The Sightseers looked lovlier than ever with their bright smiles. — I spied G. Zupon making eyes at a certain female. Who was she, Gummy? — Pete Kotorac seemed to be having a wonderful time (and when is it that he doesn't?) with all the girls, especially Cecelia Zallar from Collinwood. Yes, Pete, you surely pick 'em. — Jo Lukuchko semed anxious to meet a handsome blond sailor. Was he really as nice as all that, Jo? — I wonder why Adeline Tudo was so anxious to see Jo? — Vampire was also there looking happier than ever. I wouldn't blame you with all those fellas around you. — Frances Maurich, our beautiful brunette, seemed to be sitting out quite a few dances. Why, Fran? — Anthony (Onarsj known to many, seemed happy for a certain pretty little girl being there. Could her name be Mitzi, or would that be telling? — Ivan Kotorac seemed pleased to be dancing only with a certain girl. Her name couldn't be Vir ginia, could it Ivan? — Mickey Kocjan was always around try ing to get a dance with "Jo." — I was introduced to an Al, his last name starts with an M. I just can't think of it now. Well, anyway he told me not to put his name in my column. Don't worry, Al, I won't. (Am I kidding?) — Esther Nagode looked prettier than ever with her hair that way. Did you notice, boys? — Mirni Jagodnik and Emma Reboly not even showing up. Why, girls? — Smiggs was not seen so often with our crowd. Did the beer get you down, Smiggs or was it the girls? I wonder! — It looked as if the fleet was in at Waterloo. There were about 6 or 7 sailors that I saw and all really very nice. It was nice of you boys to stop in. — Lill Strazisar peeved at me. Why Lill? Did I do anything wrong? — Rudy Ivancic seemed depressed about something when I was taking to him. What could it be, Rudy? — Well that's about all the news I can give you right now about the dance. I'm sure the other reporters have more, so until next week, I remain your reporter as I have been before. The Tattler # Editor's Note:—Please write on one side of paper and also print names so as to avoid mis takes in spelling. DON'T RUN A lot more of us are riding street cars and buses these days —and we may often be tempted to catch them on the run. Don't ever do it, the Greater Cleveland Safety Council asks. A lifetime of regret is too big a price to pay for a minute saved. Hi there. How's chances of seeing you on March 28th. Oh, say around five o'clock. It's a Sunday, you know, and I promise you'll have a good time. What's cookin' ? Oh, I forgot, you didn't know, did you? It's Zarja's Spring Concert. And what a concert! The chorus songs include "Kam si šla"; "Ptička"; "Jutranja"; "Rudarska" and one of the little groups of old-time Slovenian folk songs which Zarja is noted for. And the ladies' chorus really has two splendid songs: "Moja zvezda" and "Mrazek." You'll like 'em. What, you're sold on the concert already? Well, that's swell, but let me tell you more. We're putting on one of our skits, isn't that grand news? Solos 'n duets 'n stuff by the members, and what's more, we're finally putting on some of the songs which you've all heard Zarja sing when they let down, their hair—the kind in which all the bystanders join. Johnny Pe-con's orchestra is playing for the dance, and you know what a swell time you have when these two forces—Zarja and Pecon's orchestra—join forces for the dance. So, we'll be seeing you. You can get tickets from any Zarja member—we'll be only too happy to serve you. Admission is fifty cents at all times for concert and dance, and for the dance alone, forty cents. 'Bye now! Alice Vidmar, Sec'y BEWARE OF HOME HAZARDS Housewives—have you become so much at home in your home that you've grown accustomed or indifferent to a number of hazards which may cause an accident to another person who doesn't know about them? For instance, the Greater Cleveland Safety Council asks, is there a small rug on a highly polished floor in your hallway, waiting to cause someone a bad fall? Are stair carpets loose, perhaps torn, likely to catch the heel of someone's shoe? Are the edges of rugs or linoleum curled up, waiting to trip someone who hasn't formed the habit of stepping over them ? A thorough check-up of these home hazards—right now—will take only a few minutes—and it may save someone weeks or months of suffering. Do it now! r Collinwood 1 | Newsbox No. 1 | By Snoopy Strugglers' dance flashes: — The large and roomy dance hall of Waterloo Home was slightly small for the crowd that attended.
