Nekega dne je Gestapo odkril i to mladinsko skupino in Slavko je pobegnil k partizanom 'Pokljuko. Sedaj se bori v eni , naših brigad. * Za svoje junaštvo je bil odlikovan z redom hrabrosti. Prvo puško je izstrelil na Jalovcu, drugo — mauzerko —- pa na Črnem vrhu, a glavni štab mu je podaril kot priznanje z« njegovo hrdbrost češko brzostrelko." Slovenski vojni ujetniki SANS se je že veliko bavil z vprašanjem slovenskih (italijanskih) ujetnikov v Ameriki, ki bi radi bili ločeni od Itali janov in dobili dovoljenje, da j se pridružijo jugoslovanski (Titovi) narodni vojski. Te njihove težnje so pač umevne in hvalevredne, zlasti še, če pomislimo, da je večina teh slovenskih fantov bila vzgojena pod fašistično Italijo in ni imela prilike za šolsko izobrazbo v slovenskem jeziku. Kljub temu večina teh fantov piše in čita slovenščino. (Jčili so jih starši brez učnih knjig. Težko pa je tem fantom dopovedati, da jih ameriška vlada smatra za "podanike Ttalije" ter da so podvrženi istim regulacijam kot pravi Italijani. Vojaške in civilne oblasti se držijo mednarodnega zakonika glede postopanja s temi ujetniki in jim ne dajejo nobenih koncesij ali predpravic. To naše primorske fante boli in mislijo, da bi jim SANS lahko izposloval pri vladi njihove želje. Tem ujetnikom kot nekaterim Članom SANSa je nemogoče dopovedati, da dokler Amerika priznava obstoječe meje med Jugoslavijo in Italijo, ne bo priznala primorskih Slovencev za "podanike Jugoslavije.'*» To je utemeljeno. SANS bi se najbolj osmešil pri ameriški vladi, ako bi zahteval od nje drugačno tolmačenje državljanskega položaja primorskih Slovencev. Vsled tega tudi jugoslovanska vlada v tem oziru ne povzame nobenih korakov. Vprašanje slovenskih vojnih ujetnikov v Ameriki bo razrešeno Šele tedaj, bo rešerto vprašanje jugoslovansko-italijanske meje. SANS skuša na vse načine, da bo ta razrešitev v korist Jugoslavije in naših Primorcev. Do tedaj pa priporočamo več strpnosti in potrpljenja. Mirko G. Kuhal, tajnik.

Washington Street PROSVITA Federacije SNPJ ZAPISNIK MINNESOTSKE FEDERACIJE SNPJ Chisholm, Mina. — Dne 29. aprila se je vršila seja minne-sotske federacije SNPJ v Chis-holmu. Na tej seji so bila zastopana sledeča društva: it. 314 z dvema zastopnikoma, 110 s petimi zastopniki, št. 322 s štirimi, it. 20 s tremi, št. 108 z dvema, it. 268 s tremi, it. 69 z dvema, it. 130 s tremi. it. 61 z dvema, it. 161 s tremi, it. 205 s štirimi in it. 338 z dveml zastopnikoma. Torej je bilo navzečih 35 društvenih zastopnikov in Šest odbornikov. Zapisnik prejšnje seje je bil prečitan in sprejet. Bret predsednik Kobi poda pismeno poročilo, v katerem poroča, da je v imenu federacije poslal telegram senatorjema Henriku Ship-steadu in Josephu H. Ballu, potem ko je bil Henry Wallace nominiran za trgovinskega tajnika. Senator Bali je takoj odgovoril, da bo podpiral nominacijo Henryja Wallaceja, dočim senator Shipstead ni hotel nič odgovoriti. Brat tajnik Martz poroča, da je dobil obvestilo od blagajnika br. Setnikarja, da se radi dela ne more udeležiti seje. Federacija ima od zadnje seje v blagajni $50.40. Brat Martz tudi poroča, da je pisal vsem minne-sotskim druitvom SNPJ. nal mu poiljejo informacije, koliko ima-! jo članov pri vojakih. Odgovor je dobil od 24 druitev, katera imajo 365 članov pri vojakih,1 izmed teh pa je bilo ubitih ali pogrešanih 15 članov. Poročila zastopnikov so se po večini nanašala na spremembe nekaterih točk pravil, katere bodo priporočane v pretres delegaciji 13. redne konvencije, ako se bo vršila. Ker pa nismo imeli dovolj časa na seji za razprave, so zastopniki izvolili poseben odbor za pravila, ki sestoja iz sedmih članov, in sicer: bratje Klune, Bevtz, Martz, Er-zar in sestre Ambrozich, Frantar in Zobetz. Vsa minnesotska društva in posamezni člani naj pošljejo svoja priporočila tajniku tega odbora Franku Klunu, Box 468 Chisholm, do 23. maja. Ta odbor bo imel svoj sestanek 27. maja ob eni {»opoldne v Eve-lethu. Prihodnja federacijska seja se bo vršila dne 29. julija ob eni popoldne v Evelethu. V slučaju pa, da se ne bi vršila konvencija to leto, se bo to sejo opustilo in prihodnja federacijska seja se bo vršila 30. septembra na Elyju, Minn. Brat Martz poroča, da je prejel članarino od šestih društev, katera znaša $17. Nadalje so zastopniki sklenili, da federacija daruje $5 odboru, ki preiskuje raka, in da se pošlje Prosvetni matici $6 za članarino. Brat Ambrozich poroča, da se bo vršila konvencija v šolski dvorani, v kateri je prostora za 700 oseb, poleg taaa pa bo na razpolago 15 sob za različne odbore. Težave pa bodo glede prehrane delegacije, kajti meso se zelo težko dobi. Sestra Ambrozich« poroča o sklepu glavnega odbora glede članov, ki so pri vojakih; kadar se vojaki povrnejo domov, se lahko zopet zavarujejo v razdre-du bolniške podpore in odškod-nine, seveda, morajo se pravo- m......, srepa. « časno prijaviti pri društvu Akn pa bi kateri želel imeti vso rS zervo v bolniškem skladu To lahko dobi, ako poravna zaostak prispevke v tem skladu vi, sprotnem slučaju pa bo reženj | manjša za toliko let. p0 le" pojasnilu sledi zaključek seje Frank Kluna. zapisnikar VLOGE etaj posojilnici e..!-^^ $$.000.00 po Pedarai Savtags k Loen Inauranc« Ceeperatlozi.

Pogodba ameriških republik je značilna z ozirom na medsebojne odru »saje držav zapadne hemisferi ne samo radi varnostnih pogojev, katere vključuje, pač pa tudi, kar zaznamuje preobrat tradicionalnega nazi-ranja latinskih Amerik napram tej deželi. Do zdaj so te dežele, oziroma njih vlade pogosto na-glašale in izjavljale, da se ne sme nobena ameriška država vme&ali v zadeve kake druge ameriške države pa bilo to i/, kakršnega koli vzroka. Sedaj pa so takorekoč prvič v zgodovini zapadne poloble te dežele povabile Zed. države, da z njimi sodelujejo, če treba tudi v Centralni In Južni Ameriki. Zgodilo se je tudi prvič, da so vse ameriške republike podpisale dogovor skupne akcije proti morebitni agresiji od zunaj ali od znotraj. Nekateri politični (»pazovalci vidijo v tem «varilo Argentini, ki je bila edina ameriška republika, ki ni imele zastopstva na omenjeni konferenci. Vzrok odsotnosti Argentine leži v njenem dsjs-nju potube osiščnim agentom In vplivom ter v fašističnih smernicah njene vlstie, katera je bila sestavljena pred letom dni in katere Združene države, kot tudi mnr>K« latinsko-ameriške države niso priznsle.

Kot glavni govornik bo nastopil prvi gl. podpredsednik SNPJ Mike R. Kumcr, o raznih drugih stvareh pa bo govoril Joško Oven iz Chicaga. Tako je bilo odglafcovano na seji federacije, ki se je vršila 22. aprilu v Cla-ridgeju, Pa. Zastopniki so izražali na seji, da je Joško Oven po svojem pisanju dobro poznan, a mnogi ga ne poznajo osebno, zlasti mla-dinu ne. Oven je že odgovoril, da bo nastopil, mi pa se za vzemimo, da bomo imeli veliko udeležbo. V času, ko se bo vršil piknik, bo že vojne konec v Evropi In med seboj bomo najbrže že imeli tudi nekaj naših hrabrih vojakov. Druge podrobnosti o pikniku bomo pravočasno poročali.

Človek si je spremenil v najbolj divjo zver, se potil v laboratorijih in tovarnah in globoko pod zemljo, delal kot živina, da producirá čim več in čim bolj učinkovitega modernega orožja, črpal in razmetaval svoje nenadomestljive naravne zaklade, obremenjeval sebe in bodoče generacije z ogromnimi dolgovi, na krvave poljane pa pošiljal svoje najboljše sinove, da v imenu imperialističnega "lebensrauma", narodnih interesov, civilizacije, demokracije in visokodonečih gesel zadajo čim hujši udarec nasprotniku: da pobijejo čim večje število vojakov in civilnega prebival Danes imamo mnogo mffter, rko bolj prizadete kot Rusija, za-katerih sinovi in hčere so daleč, to pa še enkrat rečem, rusko daleč na bojiščih.

Topovi ne bodo več peli svoje smrtonosne pesmi. Veliki bombniki ne bodo več spuščali svoje težke tovore dinamita in glicerina na mesu in vasi. Regljanje strojnic je utihnilo.

Torej dovolj vzrokov, da je človek lahko vesel. Ampak to veselje ni tako prostodušno, brezmejno in spontano kot je bilo na dan premirja leta 1918, ko je bil velik del človeštvu uverjen, da jc bila prva svetovna vojna res vojnu za končanje vojn, za demokracijo, za svobodo in enakopravnost vseh narodov. del za domovino.

Prihodnjo nedeljo, 13. maja t. L, bo menda zadnja to pomlad, to bo na Materinski dan. Mladinski krožek št. 26 SNPJ (Perfect Circle) bo obhajal petletnico svojega obstanka, ter priredi zelo zabaven program, pod imenom "Ko sta nama in ata bila mlada" (When Ma and Pa were young). Vsi dosedanji krožkovi programi so bili dobro izvajani in zabavni, a program prihodnje nedelje bo menda prekosil vse. Mladina bo pokazala nekaj popolnoma novega na našem odru. Že po imenu lahko domnevate, kaj bo. Poleg tega nastopi tudi waukeganski krožek št. 24 SNPJ, ki bo izvajal več slovenskih točk, ter tako po svoje o-bogatil program. Po programu bo ples ob dobri godbi in prosta zabava do polnoči. Vse to se vrši v dvorani SNPJ na 2657 So. Lawndale ave.; pričetek točno ob pol dveh poDoldne. Vstopnina samo 40c. Mladina tudi zagotavlja, da ima pripravljene vsakovrstna o-krepčila za posetnike. Vsi I Chicagu in oKolici ste vljudno vabljeni na to prireditev, da tako damo mladini moralno in deloma gmotno pomoč in priznanje za njeno naporno delo, obenem uživamo nekaj ur razvedrila,. kakršnega na more nuditi le mladina. Vsakdo ve, da so mladinski krožki potrebni in koristni mladini, jednoti in splošnemu socialnemu redu človeške družbe. Največje zadoščenje bo dobila mladina, ako bo dvorana polna, zato neglede kakšen bo dan, vs' na krožkovo petletnico prihodnjo nedeljo v dvorano SNPJ. Na svidenjo|! Prijatelj kroika. Louis Znidarsich.

Ridgcway, Chicago 33, 111. Predsednikova kolona Od časa, kar smo uradno objavili, da so odrejene volitve delegatov za našo trinajsto redno konvencijo, prihajajo na glavni urad razna vprašanja glede tefjga in onega v zvezi s tem, kar seveda diagcvolje pojasnimo in točno odgovarjamo. Toda gotovo ne bo odveč, ako tud' v uradni Prosveti priobčimo nekaj tozadevnih bolj važnih informacij; najbrž bo mnogim prihranilo skrbi in delo s pisarjenjem ter preprečilo morebitne napake, zlasti pri združitvi manjših društev in volitvah skupnega delegata. Cas za združitev nekaj društev, ki sama nimajo zadostnega števila članov, da bi poslala 1 manj "preganjanje "aii" krivica svojega delegata, smo prejeli vprašanja, da-li bo veljavno^če sc 1 katoliški cerkvi, pa tudi ne le združijo sedaj, ko so se volitve že pričele. Odgovor je Da. I zahteva samo slovenskega na-Bolj pripravno je seveda in tudi ¿pij vysoglasju s pravili, ako se1 roda, temveč ukaz vseh naših društva za volitev skupnega delegata zdhižijo še predno nastopi! velikih zaveznikov. Proti fašiz-določena doba za volitve. Običajno je to, lahko izvesti in v nor- mu in fašistom se namreč mora malnih časih smo se tega tudi strogo držali. Toda nesrečna vojna nam je račune že v marsičem drugem prekrižala in vsled tega je sedaj več reči drugače tudi glede naše konvencije. Radi vojnih lazmer smo morali odlašati z uradnim ntznanilom glede konvencije in volitve delegatov in poradi te neg(^pvosti je večina društev odlašala, da podvzame potrebne korake za združitev. Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da se upošteva tudi tiste združitve, ki & izvedejo med temi volitvami in to shiatramd, da ni nič več kot pravično in pošteno! ★ ★ ★ Naznanite predsedniku Pravilno je nadalje, da je o združitvi takih društev glavni urad točno obveščen. In to ni zgolj iz razloga, da se zadosti določbi pravil, temveč radi potrebe kontrole in radi drugih praktičnih ozirov. Ni dovolj, ako eno društvo poroča, s katerim drugim diuštvom ali društvi se je združilo, temveč mora vsako tako društvo samo zase poročati glavnemu predsedniku, ki ima to stvar v rokah. In poročati je treba takoj po izvedeni združitvi. Dogodilo se jc že, da je društvo v gl. urad poročalo številke drugega diuštva, s kateiim nai bi volili skupnega delegata, pri tisti' je nazadnje obesil, številki pa članstvo sploh ni nič vedelo o tem; pa tudi, da so eno Nočemo se podrobneje spušča in isto društvo šteli pri dveh različnih skupinah; in nadalje, kjer kljub združenju niso imeli predpisanega števila članov za izvolitev skupnega delegata. Večina takih slučajev se da zadovoljivo urediti in glavni urad je pripravljen pomagati pri taki izravnavi, samo ako je še dovolj časa za to. Vsled tega in radi pravilnosti sploh je važno, da smo obveščeni o združitvi vsake poedine skupine čim prej mogoče. ★ * * Nadpolovična večina velja Vprašanja so tudi, da-li bo veljavno v primeru, kjer ¡■o /aružena društva medsebojno preoddaljena, da bi imela skupno •S(,Jo za volitev delegata in ne bo prilike za ožje volitve, ako se P>oglasi tistega kandidata, ki bo dobil največ glasov, izvoljenim. Odgovor {pora biti seveda—NE! Težave so kajpak, in to ne samo, kjer so društva, ki volijo skupka delegata, medsebojno oddaljena, pač pa več ali manj v vsa-m primeru združitve. Toda ne pozabimo, da je to velik privl-ko smejo poslati svojega zastopnika na konvencijo tudi majhna društva, in da je vredno nekoliko potrpeti, ako hočemo ohraniti sistem naše velike demokracije. 1'iavila določajo, da je pravilno izvoljen le tisti kandidat, ki I" < j me nadpolovično večino oddanih glasov. Torej mora imeti* ; »J (,n( ga več kot polovico glasov.

SLOVENIJA, 27. marca 1945.—O goriškem nadškofu Margottiju je bilo ze večkrat kaj napisanega. Prav nič nas ne bi sicer zanimalo dejanje in nehanje tega izmed toliko sto Tn sto italijanskih škofov in nadškofov, če bi ta italijanski škof slučajno ne bil škof ene izmed naših slovenskih primorskih škofij. Zato torej in po vrhu še zato. ker je več kot jasno, da ni ta škof nič drugega kot bolj ali manj odkrit priganjač naše slovenske duhovščine in vernikov v Primorju. Poštenim in za svobodo se borečim Slovencem ni vseeno in nikakor ne morejo in ne smejo biti brezbrižni spričo takega pastirova-nja in ponašanja tega višjega italijanskega katoliškega duše-brižnika. Če je nadškof Margotti pozabil, kdo in kaj je pravi Kristusov duhovnik, kaj je narod, katerega del je duhovnik in ki mu je dolžan služiti nič manj kot oltarju božjemu, in če se je morda sam izneveril svojemu vzvišenemu duhovniškemu poklicu in postal od dneva svojega prihoda v Gorico do današnjih dni povsem navaden fašistični lakaj, potem brez dvoma veljajo tako zanj kot za vse njegovo škofovanje jasne in razumljive besede tajnika vseslovanskega komiteta v Moskvi Močalova, ki jih je povedal te dni: "Popolni zlom fašizma, vse njegove oblasti in popolna likvidacija vseh njegovih organizacij in ustanov, je nujno pqtrebna skupno z vojaškim zlomom hitlerjcvskc Nemčije." Potemtakem odstranitev Mar gottija ei consortcs iz Gorice ne bo nekakšno mučeništvo, še Nekaj boriti vsak pošten človek. Naj torej slovenska duhovšči na in slovenski verniki na Pri nibrpkerfi vendar 'ne nasedajo tako ncpremlšljčhb in naj ne samo svoje osebne usode, temveč tudi usodo katoliške cerkve na Prlmorbkem ne navezujejo na suho vejo — Margottija — ker ta se bo vsak čas odlomila. Njihov ugovor in pomislek: Škof je škof ln duhovniki so mu dolžni spoštovanje, pokorščino in ljubezen, spričo nadškofa Margottija pač ne drži. Juda Iškarijot je bU prav tako apostol, torej škof, pa je postal prav tako iz Kristusa in njegovemu nauku povsem tujih interesov navaden izdajalec in se ti v delo tega priganjaškega Škofa od vsega početka njegovega pastirovanja v naši slovenski Gorici. Dovolj jasno sli ko nam pokaže na primer že njegova okrožnica z dne 26. ju lija 1940 — "Beseda našemu kleru v tem trenutku" — v tre nutku torej, ko je Italija že kopičila svoje vojaške tolpe po slovenskem Primorju in se pripravljala na zahrbtni napad na Jugoslavijo. Oglejmo si nekoliko pobliie to okrožnico. 1. O ciljih in .namenih Italije "v tem trenutku" zapiše Mar gotti slovenskim duhovnikom in vernikom takole: "Vsi nafii duhovniki dobro vedo, kaj se dogaja sedaj v Italiji, koliko se trudi narod za to, da bi dosegel svoje cilje, da bi zagotovil Evropi in svetu zmago svojega orožja in skupaj s svojimi mogočnim zaveznikom trajen mir in ustaljen red, ki bi tak mir zajamčil." Evo Margottija, nadškofa-fa-šista! Poznamo in na lastni koži smo občutili ta trud italijanskega fašizma, ki je skušal doseči svoje dlje. Poznamo njegove batine, ricinovo olje, njegove šole, policijo, konfinacije, koncentracijska taborišča, stre-Ijsnje talcev in poznsmo in ne bomo nikdsr pozabili potokov solza in krvi, posledice fašls- 'losedanje. Zato pridite zagotovo in—na veselo svidenje v "u SNpj prihodnjo nedeljo popoldne' V. CAINKAR. gl. predsednik. Msrgf>ttl? Dvojns je nsmreč ta 7msga: k laver na in bedns ns bojitflh. zvita in poštenegs člo- veka nevredna pu poizkuša biti za kulisami in ji zato prihaja, kakršna koli nepoštenost in nesramnost. * > Dobro poznamo mir in red, ki naj bi zajamčil mir italijanskih in nemških iašistev. Prav v skladu s službo in zvišenim po-klicom katoliškega škofa je, da se Margotti ogrevu in poveličuje mir pokopališč in red novega suženjstva. 2. Fašistične roparske pohode, barbarsko uničevanje velikih kulturnih^ Vrednot in nekrščan-ski pohlep po uničevanju svobodoljubne Evrope, opiše Murgotti svojim duhovnikom in vernikom s sledečimi besedami: (To je) "zgodovinska resničnost, ki jo naša Itplija sedaj ustvarja a svojim pogumom, s svojim veliko-duš jem, s svojim smislom za resnico in pravico." Dobro: za to nečloveško mučenje in ubijanje nedolžnih, le svojo zemljo in svobodo ljubečih ljudi, je res potreben pogum, toda samo pogum razbojnikov in vseh tistih, ki so že zdttvnuj nehali biti ljudje. Za rušenje mest, požiganje vasi in uničevanje kulturnih spomenikov je res potrebno Velikodušje, kajti le to je moglo paziti, da je prav gotovo vse pogorelo in se vse zravnalo i samo zemljo. In res tako velik in profinjen smisel za resnico in pravico more imeti le še fašist, kajti le ta more imeti prostaške umore, rope in vse druge zločine nud nedolžnimi ljudmi za bogoljubna in člove-čanska dela. 3, Margottijevo pojmovanje domovinske ljubezni in istovetenje Slovencev z Italijani. "Ljubiti domovino, kot pravi katoličan, kot pfavi duhovnik in ji služiti kol. IjuJjK'iu sin, pomeni predvsem jI sluzmi In jo ljubiti v njenih članih, ki so naši bra tje, pa naj bodo,to ali onstran Soče, to pomen^ ljubiti jo njenih močnih in plemenitih voditeljih, v njeni nepremagljivi vojski." Ta stoodstotni. fašist uči tore slovensko duhovščino in slovenske ljudi: Slovenci ste bratjo fašističnih Italijanov (po krvi? po Adamu? po Kristsu?), ituli-janska vojska je nepremagljiva (Temu se smejemO od srcu, obenem pa prlžnaViimo, du je bilo nas slovenskih partizanov srain ko nam je ta nepremagljiva vojska po kapituluclji predala o-rož je.) S kakšno pravico in v moči čigavega poslanstva uči Sloven ce domovinske ljubezni do Italije, ki ni nikdar bila in ne more biti njihova domovina? Če ljubi Margotti Italijo kot človek, tudi kot škof, vsa čast mu m nihče bi mu tega ne zameril in v skladu je to z vsemi posta vami tega in onega sveta, Ne-škofovsko pa je, ker hoče k svoji fašistični domovinski ljubezni pod nesramno krinko in veliko zlorabo krščanske ljubezni pri siliti tudi slovensko duhovščino in njene Vernike, fte so višje cerkvene oblasti od Margottija, a zakaj se ob taki zlorabi pravega Kristusovega nauka molčale? Odgovor je seveda nepotreben. 4, Margotlijcva fašlsična prerokba o usodi slovenskega jezika, ki pa se ni in se ne bo nikdar uresničila. (Otrokom) "bo v bližnji ali daljni bodočnosti še bolj potrebno poznati te tesnice (ium-reč verska) v državnem jeziku, ki ga bodo motali u porablja ti v vseh potrebah javnega življenja." Take želje in iz njih izvirajoča Margottijeva prerokbi je pač razumljiva, posebno še, če upoštevamo, da Margotti v isti okrožnici skuša dopovedati zavednim slovenskim duhovnikom. da je biti Slovenec predsodek In sastsral n*tof, — Ne samo neškofovsko, tudi nečloveško se to sliši, s vendar je prsv, ds je Mai gotti zspisal tudi bi. Takrat šele bi bilo vš«č fašistom in Margottiju. ko bi slovenski jezik popolnoma Izginil lz slovenskega Primorjs, ko bi otroci klicali ne samo Boga, temveč tudi svoje matere v tujem in njihovi duši ln srcu nerazumljivem jeziku. In če ni še danes, pa bo ta fašistični priganjač prav gotovo spoznal, da biti Slovenec ni ne predsodek in še manj zastarel nazor, To je velika žalitev za ves slovenski narod in naj bo prepričan, da je ne bomo nikdar pozabili. Mogli smo torej spoznali iz ene same okrožnice, kdo in kakšen je U goriški nadškof Mar gotti. In prav nič nas ne moti, če si je izbral za geslo svojega Škofovanja dvoje velikih krščanskih idej: justitis et pax (pravičnost in mir), kajti Kristus sam večkrat opozarja svet na grabežljive volkove v ovčjih o-blekah. Vsekakor pu nas moti in vprašati se moramo: Kako je le mogoče, da ima ta izrazito fašiatična pojava še vedno gotov vpliv nad primorsko slovensko duhovščino? Nad tistimi torej, ki so bili doslej vsej slovenski duhovščini Ishko za vzor in za vzgled pravih narodnih duhovnikov in odločnih borcev za narodno svobodo. Če so, so popolnoma brez potrebe podlegli Margottijevim grožnjam,s kanonom 139 in 141 in 51, odločbo I, goriške sinode, ki jim jih jc "priklical v spomin" 4. oktobra 1944. Kajti: delo in borba za narodovo svobodo izpod okupatorjevega jarma ni in ne more biti špeku-lantska politika, temveč po vseh postavah, naravnih in božjih, zahtevana dolžnost. Pred to sveto dolžnostjo vsakega poštenega Slovenca mora skopneti kot pomladanski sneg vsaka, hote ali nehote poudarjena zastarela cerkvena postava. Kaj torej? AH« s fašističnim priganjačem Margottijem v sigurno propast in nepopravljivo izdajstvo svojega lastnega naroda in prave, resnično krščanske vere, ali z narodom, ki bo v kratkem svoboden in očiščen vse, tudi nsjmanjše fašistične navlake. Vsak pošten človek pa naj premisli, koliko veljajo in koliko resnice vsebujejo Msr* gottijeve besede ns koncu njegove okrožnice z dne 4, oktobra lanskega leta: "Tuuu (da bi fcli duhovniki z narodom v borbo za svobodo) naši kleriki nikakor ne bodo storili. Bilo bi to v škodo njihovim lustnim dušam in dušuin njim izročenih vernikov."

This growh both in membership and assets has been noticed in practically all fields of purchasing, distribution and production. For instance, membership in farmers cooperative purchasing associations, according to the Co-op .League News Service, increased by 390,000 during the 1943-44 season bringing the total membership in these cooperatives to 1,660,000 farmers. Most of this membership was added to the existing cooperatives, as only 36 more purchasing cooperatives are operating now than at the close of the 1942-43 season. The total stands at 2,778 purchasing cooperatives. Preliminary estimates by the Farm Credit Administration put the co-op purchases for last year at just under one billion dollars. On the other hand, farmers cooperative marketing associations reported a membership of 2,730,000 in the 1943-44 season as compared with 1,166,Out) members of purchasing enterprises. This puts the number of farmers who are ^nembers of cooperatives over the 4,000,000 mark for the first time. However, the 4,390,000 members do not represent that many individual farmers, for some are members of more than one cooperative. Purchasing co-ops are responsible for 390,000 of the 540,000 new members of cooperatives gained during th£ year. Dollar volume of the marketing co-ops \#as slightly in excess of four billion. • • • There is nrf question that the nationwide cooperative movement is the best practical instrument as a quick and effective method of taking over the nation's economy; in fact, it is the only way in which production and distribution for use rather thun for profit can be achieved. It is significant that of late all major labor unions are actively supporting the cooperative movement. Both the CIO and AFL as well as large independent unions went on record in promoting consumers cooperatives. In Lansing, Michigan, members of Local 872, UAW-CIO who ore also members of Employees Credit Union, turned to their own "bank" for finances to help pucohase u building to be used by their local and three others as a labor center. The union local made a loan from the credit union at the rate of interest a month on the unpaid balance, and because both memberships are overlapping the interest simply goes out of one pocket into the other. Loan companies in most states are per-mited to charge as much as 3% a month on loans of similar character. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, Co-op Services, organized eleven years ago by trade unionists and others, completed purchase of a food store as its 1945 expansion program moves into high gear. The co-op also bought a coal and building materials yard last month and a repair garuge In a downtown location the month before. In addition, it operates one of the largest fuel oil businesses in the city and four service stations in strategic sections. The rapid growth of consumer cooperatives along the Eastern seaboard and in Texas is revealed in audit reports just released by Eastern Cooperative Wholesale, New York City, and Consumers Cooperatives Associated, Amurillo, Texas, with national offices in Chicago. • # • • • Now that the war in Europe is over, it is expected thnt the cooperative movement will mark considerable progress here and abroad. While the cooperative movement in the United States and Canada in recent years has shown rapid progress, there is still u large field and plenty of room for expansion. Unless the people realize the need for consumer cooperatives and unless the necessary encouragement from the government is forthcoming, there is serious danger that monopolistic interests will soon gain control over all production and distribution, and that in spite of existing cooperatives, chiefly through competition. It is significant to know that cooperators in most European countries have consistently and successfully resisted the Nazi oppresoro and fought the widespread black market. Hnrshly oppressed as they were, they did not compromise their fundamental principles. They contributed to the underground press resistance movement, and they provide today the uptest instrument of economic und cultural reconstruction. Badgerland News MILWAUKEE.

The long weeks of planning, pre- paring. rehearsing, are almost over, and the final polish is now being applied. The costumes have been fitted, and re-fitted, there is a buzz of excitement and expectancy in the air, and Perfect Circle No. 26 is again pi t pared to swing out to present a program which has the appearance of being better than any in the past.

EDWARD UDOVICH, Pres. NOTATIONS By Frances L. Rak CHICAGO, ILL.—This is our last call to all you SNPJers and friends to Perfect Circle's Fifth Anniversary program and dance. Since the program is a tribute to parents, the day chosen is a fitting one—Mother's Day, May 13. SNPJ auditorium will be the scene of the attraction and will start promptly at 2:30 p.m. The Jolly Juveniles Circle No. 24 SNPJ of Waukegan are traveling to Chicago—forty strong—to add their bit to this Flftjr Anniversary celebration. Their renditions will be entirely in Slovene, which will be especially pleasing to our older folks. Plans are that the two Circles dine together at noon in lower SNPJ hall. Mury Andres and her assist-ar ts ure planning an appropriate meal and will do their very best in spite* ot meat shortages. At this "little banquet" renewed acquaintances and new friends will be made. It's a happy thought for a grand time even before the program. Ann Sannemann, the Circle manager, and her assistant, Ruth Medic, have been working doubly hard the past week in perfecting the program. They've had the help of quite a few mothers in quite a bit of detail wofk, which all should add to the celebration. Robann Sannemann has been selected to act us mistress of ceremonies. She'll have an especially hard task, as she'll tell you all she kne'vs about the vurious costumes that will be worn in the "Fashion Parade.'' Some of these costumes date back to as far as 1890 to 1920. Included in the style parade will be several brides and a groom. The presentation is expected to be the best the Circle has ever presented.

PA—All that attended Keystoners spring dance April 29 reported to our dance committee, Fran Novak and Stan Pavlenlch, to have had a wonderful time. The orchestra which was none other than Maestro Jack Persln of Warren. O., was well praised by the huge crowd. Many out-of-town dance lovers were present, which hailed from Youngstown, Niles, Bessemer, New Castle, Warren, Campbell and our nearby places such as Wheatland and Patagonia. Many thanks to you all for coming! Also thanks to the dance committee, who as it seems are always the same, and doing a neat and honest job at all dances and other doings. On April 28, the Keystoners and Juveniles spent an evening at Caldwell Recreation Center taking a part in the SNPJ tel. bowling tournament. Since tenpin bowling isn't on our line, we think we did all right! Jack Zagger, Al Cvelbar and Ted Bicek came out with some swell scores, with Millie Novak and Norma Trobentar leading the ladies' team. The seats and spare room at these alleys were filled with onlookers, watching the most interested bowlers who were the main attraction, none other than our juvenile boys. The first game they rolled was more of a warming up game. But about 8:30, someone brought in the news that Germany surrendered. Then our juveniles said, "Come on, let us too go on to victory." Believe me, they surely went to town with bowling. The most popular one was little Eddie Matevž" Cimperman, who was more down the floor than up. Later a bulletin came of the "surrender" as being a false alarm. And so our juveniles felt just as we all did. Just the same, we tried hard and did the best we could. Circle's 6th Anniversary This Sunday, May 13, at 7:30 p. m. our juveniles will celebrate Mother's Day with a program and dance, and also their 6th anniversary. Yes, the juveniles are putting on a musical program, with the help of the Strossmayer Singing Club of Youngstown, Ohio. There will be at least 25 members present with their popular soloist Miss Irene Kramarlc, who just recently won first prize as being the best soprano soloist in Ohio, and won out amongst 200 other soprano soloists. Miss Kramarlc and Mille Novak will sing a duet, "My Hero" from the "Chocolate Soldier." Miss Rose Mlakar and her sweet voice, will also give us a few songs. Solo will be heard from our new rising Juvenile star Eleanor Zagger. We're proud of Eleanor. The people's choice for dancing will be "naš" Jack PerSin of Warren, Ohio. Don't forget, Jack, this will be our Mother's, Dad's and Juveniles' dance, and the night must be filled with polkas and waltzes—those are the dances we love. Sec, everyone, what's in store for you? We hear that Eddie O'Korn is coming home on furlough and will be with us this great day from the Army Air Corps. Welcome home, Eddie! Home on furlough and looking swell were Keystoners Bill Macek.< Stanley Cvelbar and two Kvocak brothers, Frank and Andy (Dogs). Our deepest sympathy go to Juvenile Franccs Luin and family, for the loss of their beloved father Frunk Luin just recently. Yours truly and sisters Millie, May and nephew Richard Robich with guest Mrs. Thessa Yaklevich Nespor spent three days in Cleveland to attend the Metropolitan operas "Lucia De Lammermoor", "The Marriage of Figaro" and "La Giaconda". They were all very beautiful, especially the singing of Lilly Pons and James Melton. We also had the hpnor of meeting Andrew Kastelanetz, Lilly Pons' hus-bund. Honored also to have met Sunday morning August Hollander, who has made our visit a pleasant one. Thanks for the , wonderful hospitality to Mrs. and Mr. Anton Mauser, sons Stanley and Tony and wives from west side, also to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hribar. Mrs. Mary Sustarsic and son John from Hecter Tavern, and John Macek who once was a popular Keystoner. Don't forget to attend this Sunday. May 13.

LENA YARMAN AND BERTHA URBANCIC COP INDIVIDUAL HONORS; STRABANE BOYS AND OIRARD GIRLS WIN JUVENILE TITLES Here at last is the sports news you have been waiting for all •the past week, a complete report of the first S. N. P. J. National Telegraphic Bowling Tournament. The results of the eleven local tournaments, each one of which was run-off as scheduled, were received by the Athletic Director via telegram and Special Delivery mail. These have since been thoroughly checked and re-checked, separately and combined, and from them has been prepared the list of champions and prize winners which you find in the standings appearing elsewhere in this section. Four lodges and two Juvenile Circles share in this year's championships, this in contrast with only two in the 1942 national tournament when the Young Americans of Detroit and the Badgers of Milwaukee made a clean sweep of all of the titles. 6f the ten championships at stake in the "Telegraphic" tourney, four were captured by the Pioneers (589) of Strabane, Pa., whose members succeeded in bringing home the "bacon" in the Men's Doubles, Singles and All-Events, and then saw their Juvenile teams blast the way to top honors in the Boys' Class. It was here at Strabane that the only former record established was bettered when Gvedon Chesnic and John Pelan collaborated beautifully in chalking up a 1285 score in the Doubles contest, beating the old mark by 57 pins. At Cleveland the Utopians (604), the 1945 Men's Champs, ran true to form as they walloped the maples for a hard-earned victory over their local arch-rivals, the Lunder-Adamic (28) team, 2796 to 2747 with the two finishing in that order in the final standings. Only 60 pins behind the Champs and the runners-up trailed the Young American Boosters (564), and only four pins to the rear of them came the Wolverine Blues (677), both of Detroit. There have been better scores than these recorded in past SNPJ tournaments, but seldom have they been so closely bunched. This was true also of the caliber of competition in the women's events, where "neck and neck" finishes were the rule rather than the exception. Indianapolis SNPJ lived up to that city's reputation as an outstanding bowling center by annexing two titles, the women's team championship which was won by Franc Preseren Lodge 34 with a score of 2358, and the All-Events honors which went to the team's well-known "anchorman," Bertha Urbancic, who, a couple of seasons ago, rolled a 300 game in sanctioned league competition to become one of few women bowlers who have bowled a perfect garrfe. Close on the heels of the Champs followed Napredne Slovenke (137) of Cleveland, Ohio, who, with Antonia Tanko in the lead-off position and Mary "Whltey" Prl-mosch in the anchor spot, rolled to a 2344 total. Only 17 pins behind them were thc Spartans (676), also of Cleveland . . . And to give you a still better idea of the keenneBS of competition, here are the All-Event* scores for the three top women bowlers: Bertha Urbancic1 1551, Mary Primosch 1546 and Antonia Tanko 1526 ... And for the men: Mirko Krulce got 1788, John Pelan 1786 and John Spillar of the National Athletic Board 1738. Although all defending record-holders of the previous national bowling tournament wer6 among this year's participants, only one of them repeated in winning a title, this being Josephine Smanz of the Milwaukee Badgers, the new Singles Champion, who shared the Doubles honors with Mary Schuller in 1942 Rudy Pugel, Elwood Blake, Robert Travnik, Mary Schuller, and the Badger Women's and the Young American men's teams, while winding up in the money, failed to dent the championship bracket. The only Detroit entry to land among the title-winners of 1945 was the Doubles combination of Hose Koaitz and Lena Yer-man of the Wolverine Lodge, who blasted a total of 1027 pins. This was only two pins better than that credited to A. Tanko and M. Primosch of Cleveland, and six higher than the combined scores of S. Krapes and R. Kreffel of the Indianapolis Hoosier Pals. In the Juvenile team event, the Strabane Pioneer Jrs., Circle 27, won the first SNPJ Boys' Championship by a very convincing score, 2278 to 2053 for their next neareat competitors, Circle 19, also of Strabane. The "Ail-Around" Circle 21, of Sharon, Pa., finished a close third by shooting the splendid total of 2031 ... In the Girls' event, the Dawn of Youth, Circle 7, of Girard, Ohio, were crowned the Juvenile Champs of the SNPJ by bowling 1584 to 1452 for the Jolly Juveniles, Circle 24, Waukegan, III. Many surprisingly good scores were rolled by juvenile bowlers in this event. The best for the bovs was the brilliant performance of Edward Kocian, Circle 19, Strabane, who shot a 543 seiies, Including a high game of 195. Next was Ronald Latz of Waukogan with a 501 series and a 189 game, and after him were Frank Zagger of Sharon with a 481 series, Chester Kaminski of Strabane with 473, etc____For the girl* Marjorie Macek bowled 345 for the best series, and Geraldlne Gllitaki was second with 344. High game honors went to Beatrice Muster and Dorothy Griffin of Girard, each scoring a 137, while Juliette Gabroaek and Louiae Dolence of Waukegon were not far behind with 128 and 12«, respectively. Congrstulations, SNPJ Juveniles! (Note: More about thc juvenile bowlers will appear in "The Voice of Youth" magazine.) Perhaps, the biggest surprise of the National Telegraphic Bowling Tournament were the unimpressive acorea of the midwest bowlers at Chicago. Milwaukee and Waukegon. These three cities entered more than half of the teams, 67 In all, and yet failed to place higher than 8th »n the men'a team event and 5th In the women's. The onlv consolstion was the winning of the Singles crown by Josephine Smanz (584) with a 56« total . . . On the other hand, some excellent scores were recorded by the Vcronlana (tiffll Comets (715) and the Avells entry (202) in the Western Pennsylvania tournament, in spite of the fact that Duckpin bowling ia much the more popular sport in that section, All three Kevstoner (755) teams at Sharon alao came through with good scores. From St Louis, Mo, snother Interesting report from John Yurgec informs us that everyone had a grand time in the local 'telegraphic" tournament even though the score, did not measure quite up to expectations, but promises there will be improvement all along the line when the boya return from their military chores, both as to number of entries snd results. While none of the four St Louis teams finished in the regular consolation prize money, Juvenile Circles ef the SNPJ iCwUnual from || formed. Jean Kirk was then glad she was a member of the SNPJ as she was the lady in the box. Next came the aciobatic dancer. Josephine Peshek. Her act was very skillfully presented by a number of very difficult ^robatic steps. She was dressed in an amiable light print costume. The famous swimmer was announced, while the ladder was brought to the hall. Annette Kirk made her entrance dresaed in a light blue taffeta old-fashioned dress trimmed with pink ribbons and lace. She cllmlied up to the top, a basin was brought out and put on the floor, and filled with water. The clown cautioned the audience to remain very quiet, she counted One—Two. and at Three she blew the whistle and out from nowhere down came a rubber doll and fell right into the water. Our glamorous dancing queen made her appcarance dressed in a neat white costume. Loretta Seehacher danced an all time favorite tap dance which was really a job well done. Last In the long line of individual acts came our horse. Yes. he was called and out he came into the audience and looked in on each table. Before that he was asked a number of questions by the clown to which he replied by either nodding his head or stamping his feet. Now came the time for the "Big Parade". Each participant came forward individually and when every character was out at the end of the hall the march began. The Cowboy, Ronald Stuart; Boarded Lady, Jean Kirk; The Scholar, Stanley Basyk; Dancing Doll, Loretta Seebacher; The Bwimmer, Annette Kirk; Headiest Lady, Dolores Mikoley; Tight Rope Walker, Robbie Stuart; The Acrobat, Josephine Peshel; Miss Mouse, Helen Seebacher; The Clown, Mildred Padar; Mamie, Oeorge Mikoley; The Fat Lady, Frances Wolf; Boston Blackie, George Vetter; Jack in the Beanstalk, Lillian Koche-var; Magician, Richi.rd Seebacher; The Horse, Tony Stare and Paul Wolf; Patrick, Jack Vetter. Thus, the circus was presented. But this was not all. During the performance Annette Kirk and Helen Seebacher drgsied in attractive costumes sold muny hags of peanuts. Immediately after the parade, the playlet, "Wildcat Willie" was presented. This comedy was certainly enjoyed by the audience, and I found no exceptions. In this play the following Junior All Americans participated: Paul Wolf, Del-ores Mikoley, Jean Kirk, Loretta Seebacher, Tony Btaare and Richard Seebacher. I would like to take this opportune time to thank all those k who helped in any way to make this a really successful presentation. Jacob Cerar was a lucky winner of the first prize of five dollars, Joseph Petek the second of three dollars, which he generously turned over to the Circle's tre**ury, Thank you, Brother Petek! And the third of two dollars was for Rusty, who is none other than a dog owned by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Kodrich. When the program was over and the dancing began, the children presented the manager with a bottle of perfume, which was a complete surprise and really left me speech less. Thank you all for your splon did cooperation. JENNIE H PADAR. Mgr. Juvenile Circle No. SO. FLASHES By DONALD J. LOTRIOJ CHICAGO.—We are really glad that the war is finally over in Europe. It will moan that our boys shan't have to shed any more blood there. It will mean that the people of the European continent will have to gradually tackle the tremendous job of rebuilding Europe and we hope that it will be a better Europe than the laat; that the people will gain from the conflict sufficient power to lorm decent and democratic governments and that they will eradicate the forces which go for making wars. The job in the Pacific still has to be finished and the Americans continue to carry the biggest share of the work. We hope that the Japs will see the senaeleaa-neaa of a continued losing struggle and aign a peace before too many more of our fine mon must give up their lives. Now that it is all over ln Europe the people everywhere should ask thcmaelvee, "What was It all about?" There must be an answer to that question. Everyone should work to see that the terrific slaughter and destruction should not occur again in the next generation. •—We are happy that muny of our fine men and women will soon be op their way home, At home, we ought to dig in harder than ever to produce the thing« needed to lick the Japs quickly.

Cleveland Athletic League CLEVELAND, O.—Now that the excitement of the tournament is practically a thing of the past, we must again turn to the duties of everyday life. Each and every member of the Athletic League is urged to remember that a mooting ia held on the third Sunday of each month, at 3 p. m, in the old building of Slovene National Home on St. Clair. Pleaae attend these meetings. The Athletic League is active and has supported the bowling leagues in both, financial as well as moral way. Members should at leaat take the time to attend these meetings and find out how the league operat-ca. Those who do attend, usually benefit by the contact. Why not be one of those members?! If you expert support in the future, you should at leaat take the trouble of becoming acquainted with the active members of this league. Did you know that Cleveland's three-place prize list was made possible only through this league? It would be well to remember this and not take everything for granted. The next meeting will be held on May 20 in SNH, at 3 p. m. Attend the meeting I MOLLIE KOREN. Sec'y. Chicago Newt About SNPJ Pin Tourney I CHICAGO.—The national SNPJ bowling tournament is over.

Of this money we paid $6.19 freight for the shipment of clothes to New York and the balance of $171.61 we sent to Vincent Cainkar. We wish to thank the committee for their efforts and good accomplishments. Our next dance will again be at Stra bane's SNPJ hall on «Saturday, May 19, and the music will be furnished by Jackie Martinete and his orchestra. So come one and all from far and near and help us make it a huge success. As you may know the profits go for a Slovene Home for Meadowlands. Through our efforts we have bought and paid for the land but we must not stop now. We must double our efforts and work harder. On May 30 we plan to hold a picnic at MeadoWlands at the Stone Quarry and arrangements are being made to have music and a place to dance. So keep May 19 open for the Big Dance at Strabane and May 30 for the Big Picnic at Meadowlands. STELLA MURN, 259. Pot Roast with Tomato Gravy The less expensive cuts of meat— which today are easier to get than choice cuts—may be the basis of attractive, flavorful menus. In this recipe for Pot Roast with Tomato Gravy, preliminary browning in bottled salad oil and long cooking over a slow fire bring out the full meat flavor of an inexpensive blade roast. Tomato juice adds its own zestful flavor to this econmoical roast. It Is wise to purchase tomato juice in the large-size bottle, for in addition to its importance as a beverage, it has countless uses in cooking. The following recipe will provide at least 6—6 servings: 4 to 5 pounds blade pot roast 4 tablespoons bottled salad oil 1 clove garlic, if desired V» teaspoon marjoran or thyme ft cup vinegar 1 cup water 2 teaspons salt Vd teaspoon pepper 2Mi cups bottled tomato juice 4 tablespoons flour Small onions Small carrot Brown pot roast in hot salad oil. Add garlic, marjoran 6r thyme, vinegar, one-half cup of the water, salt and pepper Cover tightly and simmer for about two hours. Add tomato juice and continue simmering for one hour longer or until tender. Onions and carrots may be cooked separately or added to pot roast about 30 minutes before meat is done. Arrange meat and vegetables on a hot platter. Remove garlic, if used. Make a paste of the four! United Slovenes * ST. MARYS. PA—Members of Lodge SSI, please note. Our May meeting has been changed from Sunday, May 30, to Wednesday, May 23, at 7:30 p. m. Please attend as we have our picnic plans to be completed and other important business at this meeting. Yes, folks, here it is. our date for our big annual picnic—June 17—and a large crowd is expected. How about It, Crosby, coming with another truckload? Be seing you. On April 25, Bro. Louis Bon passed away after being ill for the past six years. Bro. Bon was very active in our lodge doings and was trpas« urer for four years but resigned on account of illness and even during his illness he showed interest in lodge affairs. Our sympathy is extended to the family. S/Sgt. Louis Prudisch has returned from the South Pacific after being across for 30 months, and is spending his furlough with his mother. Louis is a paratrooper and we understand he participated in the invasion of Philippines plus other islands, and we hear he is going on another great "adventure" —but this time with a bride. Lots of luck, Louie. We received a nice letter from Louis Cilladi, F 1/c, from 'way out in Philippines. Alphonse J, Bon, S 1/c, is also stationed there. Loads of luck to both of them. . Pfc. Louis Rollick is recuperating at government hospital at New Castle, Pa., from wounds received in Germany. GABRIEL J. ULJON, Sec'y. Biuineu Profit« in Britain The common people of England have not been enriched by this war, but Big Business in that country has done well, according to an example published by the B r i 11 s h "Labor News." It shows that the "eight leading British automobile companies" doubled their "liquid assets" from $50,000,000 in 1039 to $100,000,000 in 1943, "and the 1944 figures will be still higher." The companies piled up this hoard detpite the fact thaf, they paid divi-dentt up to 25 per cent annually during the war yean. \-£- Euteka! * While waiting-en my customers One btisV da/ last week, We all were staYtled past belief To hear a piercing shriek! 'Twas Mrs. Jones; ahe loudly cried "Oh, goodness), I am glad! I just found 20 extra points I didn't know J had!" tablespoons of flour and the remaining half cup'of water. Stir into liquid in pan and cook until thick and smooth. Spirit-o-Grams By Wboosil ST. LOUIS. MO,—-By the time this article goes to press Spirits' May dance will be a past memory. I'm sure that all those who attended had one grand time. Members are urged to make their ticket returns as soon as possible so that the committee can make a final report in the shortest possible time. The telegraphic bowling tournament was held Sunday, April 29, at the Du-Bowl Alleys and the following participated: Men's team—for Spirits—John Jurgec, Joe Gaspa-rich, John Spiller, Tony Sveglich and A1 Kaein—For Planinski Raj— C. Miramoti, F. Yartz, J. Ban, J. Tcncich and C. Medved. Girls' team —for Spirits—Helen Hervatin, Til-lie Harvatin, Sophie Vertovsek, Lorraine Kounts and Ann Spiller.— For Planinski Raj—Anne Berurg, L. Gregouch, J. Medved, Jean Fran-ko and A. Pucel. A1 Kacin bowled the highest game for the Spirits and^ J. Tencich for Planinski Raj (men's team). Tillie Harvatin bowled the highest game for the Spirits and Jean Medved for Planinski Raj (girls' team). The bowlers had quite a few visitors and all present really enjoyed themselves. Our next monthly meeting will be held May 11 at the Concordia Turner hall. Members are urged to attend this meeting because many important topics will be discussed. So keep that date open. All members of SNPJ lodges are urged to'hiake returns for the SANC relief dance which was held last month. All tickets must be returned not later than May 15. Members who have tickets in their possession after that date will be held responsible for them. Spirits are more than lucky to have Bro. John Lasterin Jr. in our group, and it is our hope that he enjoys being with the Spirits as much as he did with the Victorians. We are indeed fortunate to have such a diligent member. THIS AND THAT: Whoozit is happy to announce that Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Jr. of Nay lor, Mo., are expecting a visit from the stork sometime in June. A1 and Ida Kacin and little Bobby visited Gillespie for a few days before A1 left'for the armed forces. Johnny Rhodus writes from Belgium and says all is well. He was moved recently from France. Mildred Doslak'f husband, Dan, was also moved to Belgium with Johnny. Again, let me remind all Ihe members to keep May 11 open and,attend the meeting. Same time, same place. WORLD EVENTS By Scott N earing Job Loss Through Cutbacks Stress Need of Employment Legislation By ALBERT H. JENKINS "War Department cutt airplane production 15 per cent." "Tanker ship output cut back 24 par cent, 30 are canceled." "Mass lay-offs began today at the Buick aviation engine plant" "Firtt Ford I ay-of fa resulting from curtailment of bomber program teere announced today." News like that hit the headlines last week as the approaching end of the war in Europe began to be reflected in war industry cut-backs and job Iomcs. Most of the news concerned jobs lost by employes of big corporations whose war contracts were cut back. An American Federation of Labor spokesman pointed out, however, that these cut-backs wil| also cost the jobs of a larger number of workers employed by subcontractors who make parts for the companies who hold the contracta. Contracts Peter Out Moreover, in addition to cut-backs, there are many "run-outs". These occur when a war contract ends and is not renewed. Run-outs also mean lost jobs, but they are not so spectacular as cut-backs and seldom get into newspspcr headlines. These job losses add up into hundreds of thousands. They are not something for the future. Thev are here nou>, They are the forerunners of a far larger wave of unemployment which is coming soon. The War Production Board and other government agcnctes predict a 36 per cent cut-back in war production within s yesr after the war ends In Europe The National Association of Manufacturers says the cut-bock will be 50 to 70 per cent. A F. of L Esfimatp The A. F of L. estimates that the cut-berk will be 50 per cent in six months and 60 per-cent within a year.
