De- lightful and full of things that teli of the love of Slovenija and the mountains and the people and the city itself. Miss F. S. Copeland is the pro¬ fessor of English at the Univer- sity of Ljubljana and has lived in the Slovene capitol for a num- ber of year and has learned “to love the town, the people, and country till I felt that I could not keep the love to myself alone . Miss Copeland has been writing of the beauties of the country in many of the Ameri¬ can magazines and in European magazines in which she told of the beuaties of the country and her people. She claims Scotland as her mother country. It is sur- prising that one not of the coun- ty could write such a letter. In the conclusion of her letter Miss Copeland teliš of a book of Slovene sketches which she has collected and will be published in a book that will be on šale in America. It is with evident ex- pectation that the new book is awaited.

Mladina slovenskega rodu, naj bi bila med temi sanjami tudi lepa sanja — podoba domovine, tam preko. Slovenska mladina v Ameriki — želim, da bi ob tem yečeru posvetila trenutek spominu domovini Vaše matere, Vašega očeta, izvor Vaše duševnosti. Da bi ravno ta ve¬ čer vžgal v Vas ogenj ljubezni do rodnega onkraj ogrom¬ nega vodovja. Naj bi se srca vseh Slovencev v tujini zdru¬ žila v eno samo slovensko pesem — pesem slovenski zemlji! ■Božidar Jakac Christmas Season-Holy Night that night when you look for home — the circle of those dear to you, on the night when the weary traveller halts for a moment in the starlight night with thoughts that wander far away to his home 'hidden behind the mountain top, there acriss the endless expanse of ocean to the hearth of his heart. For a moment he halts entranced and the uni- versal song of sacred peace echoes in his heart. Holy night — thou mysterious force that awakens in man the most fundamental and most moving feeling — thou art met with distant visions of deepest dreams. Slovene youth, vvould the among those dreams there be also the beautiful dream — the picture of the motherland far away. Slovene youth in America — may I hope that on that night you consecrate one moment to the memory of the countrv of your mother, your father, the cradle of your inner life. Would that this night ignite in you a flame of love for the country there across the broad expanse of water. May the hearts of ali the Slovenes living so far from the land of their father s be joined in one song to the Slovene home!

On that date the child¬ ren and the teachers and the board will have a chance to show the progress of the school in a very material way. They vvill have a chance to show in exhibition of vvhat they can do and have done for the further- ance of the study of the Slovene language. They vvill do that by the performance vvhich they have planned to take plače on that day. TWO PLAYS To date they have selected two plays and other things vvhich vvill demonstrate defini- tely that the Slovene school is doing its vvork and spreading the idea of the Slovene culture. Follovving the yearly custom the Slovene school vvill have its Christmas entertainment on Xmas eve, with the customary plays an entertainment by the Sokols and playing and singing of Slovene songs. As usual it is expected that Santa Claus vvith his load of toys vvill be there. In fact it is a certainty that he will be there. STUDENTS TO BE ENCOURAG- ED BY ATTENDANCE But of more importance than the Slovene school entertain¬ ment is the importance that the Slovenes of Cleveland rea- lize the vvork that the Slovene school is doing in furthering the traditions of the Slovenes in Cleveland. It is for that purpose that the Slovene school has these peribdic entertainments They are important to the school children because they show the interest of the Slovenes of Cle¬ veland in the language vvhich is their mother tongue. A large number of people vvill assure the children that they are to be en- couraged in the vvork. EXCLUSIVE ČAST This year the program vvill be of very high interest because there vvill be some new items on the program vvhich the Cleve¬ land Slovenes have rarely heard. The first is a moral play for children parts vvritten by F. S. Finžgar one ' of the out- standing literary men of Slovene today. The name of the play is “Za kruhom” or “Welcomed Bread”, a one act play vvith three scenes for boys. The čast vvill include 25 boys.

Trees of various shades of green deeorated with brilliant lights; wreaths of bright red to contrast the green of the holly are expressions of the beauty that is signiflcant of the joy and the happiness that will not be chocked in the heart. Almost) spontaneously everyone is getting ready to enjoy himself in the measure that he is able and getting ready to join with the rest of the world in adding his little mite in making the world a happy j plače to live in. Whatever little he may give will be given with the J špirit that it is much nicer to give than to receive. The exchange of gifts will raise the level of humanity to a royal plane on which the medieval or even ancient people of the nobility have exchanged gifts as a prince to a prince. It will be an expression that when a gift is given that it expresses a gift to one whom he loves or to one whom one respects. Nor yet is the idea that one must reciprocate in returning gifts in exchange for those given. Exchange of gifts is a wonderful idea and in its own way it transforms ali of us Scrooges into human beings who have human contacts and can recognize that our fellow man is human also and on the same plane as the rest. With the passing of the! hearth very few Yule logs will be burned but in its stead it is hoped that the ember of human kindness and beautiful friendship wili flame anew and be kindled into a bonfire of love and devotion to friends that will last throughout the whole year. Frorh the beginning of the celebration of Christmas from a religious custom and a celebration of a fact that has animated the #orld for its great sacrificing love andcondescension the world has taken the idea of love and transformed it into the -vonderful ex- pression of gift exchange as a carrying on of the idea that it is much nobler to give rather than to receive. In the same špirit the CLEVELAND JOURNAL wishes its many friends and readers a Christmas season filled with the best of human devotion and a. hope that it has added in the past year only a little more to the fund of happiness and with the hope that it has been personal enough to add a little glow to the spark «f love to fellow men so that the happy smile and the cheerful greeting that is universal about this time of the year will have in it that expression of good cheer that has been the accepted message for Christmas. To ali of our readers and our friends we wish that this Christ¬ ie will be the beginning of a new era of their life in which everything will take on a new and more beautiful aspect which will carry on until next Christmas at least and then be added to with each successive season. The CLEVELAND JOURNAL wishes you a Merry Christmas. with its very few contributors have been carrying on trying to sense what the readers want and the things that they think will be interesting. During the past year new departments have been added with the hope that more and more readers will find the Journal more entertaining and more personal to every reader. We recognize our faults, we have been criticlzed for policies but \ve were somewhat helpless in doing much about the things that we wanted to improve. The whole editorial staff has felt that they could be more and more useful if everyone of the readers would take so much interest in the doings of their fellow Slovenes that they would leave the Journal know about the things that happen in the particular community in which they live and make the Journal more serviceable to everyone. If there is nothing sensatio- nal happening there are many things that are interesting to everyone else. Send it in you may be sure that your servants at the Journal will appreciate it. May we also suggest that our readers take an interest in the Journal and make it known to more and more people so that the circle of its Service may be more extended. We are asking for a Christmas gift but you may be sure that it is not with. a selflsh špirit but with the idea that the Cleveland Journal can be of more service to others.

It may be said that we have a “Lot of Nerve” to ask for things instead of waiting to get them but we hope to be ex- cused espeeially since what we intend to ask for is nothing per¬ sonal but rather a request that will do everyone a favor. With a kind of trepitation we will suggest that each and every one of our readers take a personal interest in the Journal and “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will toward men.” In spite of the fact that a good many of us are without means to spend the amount of money this Christmas season, that we have spent in bygone years, there is the same desire to give that there has been for nineteen hundred years. The sight of the stores with their Christmas decorations and dis- plays causes a little thrill to go up and down one’s spine in anti- cipation. During this one time in the year we are apt to throw careful financial calculations to the winds and become reckless, and over generous. At Christmas time even the smallest remem- brance from one’s friends takes on a significance that it would have at no other time. It is the one time that the giver rather than the gift is thought of. It is not neeessa,ry to spend a small fortune in order to please. For what can give greater delight than a well v/ritten and well chosen book? Other gifts wear out or one grows weary of them but time after time the same pleasure is felt when one rereads a favorite book. In the last year many worth while and delightful books have been written and the folIowing is a list of recent books to aid the Christmas shopper.

SUHADOLNIK choice he was an honor študent in ali the departments of the, seminary. 3. SIMON GREGORČIČ The poetic form which Stritar developed was given expression by Simon Gregorčič. Simon Gregorčič was born on October 15, 1844 in a little mountain village Vrsno in Goriško, where his father had a small farm. His childhood days \vere spent in his birthplace high up on the mountainside which created in him the love of nature and of the mountains the basis of practically ali of his poetry. The boy showed many of his talents early in his life so that Anton Gregorčič, vicar and edu- cator recognized his talents early and induced Simon Gregorcic's father to send his son to the school in Go¬ rica. There the youth completed his grades school and enterpd the Gymnasium in 1856. The first year of the school was very difdculti for him in spite of his talents and he was forced to repeat the year because of math- ematies. The following year he completed with so high honors that he was accepted into the seminar. Classi- . cal languages were the foundation of his studies plus a khowledge of Bohemian and Serbo-Croat, which he mastered under the tutelage of Ivan Solar, who taught to him to love his own people and his eountry. Simon Gregorčič was very interested in literature especially the poems of Prešeren and practiced writing poetry. Even as early as 1864 Gregorčič wrote poems. ‘After he completed his examinations he sent his first poems to Janežič in the Slovenian Glasnik. _ The Slovene theology students recognized the need of the beautiful expressed Slovene word and practiced writing in a practical way. They published a small pa- per in manuseript the “Sloga”. At this venture Gregor¬ čič also contributed. From this era are also the poems which show much development of form and poetic ideal. In an anachronetic sonnett Daritev Gregorčič shows his ethically poetic thought. Daritev the poem he wrote in honor of a fellow študent for his First Mass. In the fall of 1857 Gregorčič said his first mass at Libusnjem and in the following year he was assistant at Kobarid where he remained for five years. The time he spent at the little village so near to his own home was probably, the liappiest time of his life. Here he be- came acquainted with Ignacij Gruntar who remained his friend for the rest of his life. With him he dedi- cated his life to national work; he established a library lead community singing and supervised the production of plays. The p'eople liked him very much and A. Jakše the deacon was the real friend of the sick leader. In the fall of 1864, after a long and severe battle iyith himself Gregorčič entered the seminary. He was anxious to study classical physilology but conditions at -home did not permit him to do that. In spite of his In 1870, while Gregorčič was at Kobarid he sent some poems to Stritar in the Zvon over which Stritar enthusiastically exclaimed “This at last is real poetry”. The critic however was not 'completely content with the poetry and sent Gregorčič some instructions of how it could be improved upon. This is the beginning of Gregorčič in the Stritar school of poetry. Even the sub- ject matter of Gregorčič changed considerably. Up to this time he wrote almost exclusively of love of the motherland but with Stritar’s influence he taranched into other things. Gregorčič was highly impressed with Stritar’s theory of “world sorrow” with the result that seme of Stritar’s ideas were included in his “Ne Tožim” (I do not complain), and “V Mraku” (At dusk) especial- ly after Zorin was published. This “world sorrow” had so great influence because the poet felt a sympathetic chord štručk in his own life. Stritar’s abstract world~ sorrow Gregorčič translated very vividly into his own. life, especially because of his ailment and. his mental struggle. This feeling of this spiritual ailment and of the continual battle with doubt and temptation result- ed in the very beautiful ode “človeka nikar”. Gregorčič did not consider himself only and his suffering but as is characteristic of every man who suffers very much, he grew spiritually. With him this growth was marked with a realization of his duties and an expansion of personal bravery. As a reflection of this growth are the poems “Na bregu” (On the Shore), “Sam” (Alone), “Kupa življenja” (The Cup of Life). Besides the influ¬ ence of Stritar one can see the influences of Prešeren, Levstik, Jenko, Goethe and especially the folk songs. In spite of ali of these influences Gregorcic’s own po¬ etic personality developed whiie he stayed at Kobarid. Gregorcic’s personality and poetry contains an ethical foundation which is one of the fundamental charaeter- isties of Gregorcic’s work. Besides the ethical consci- fentiousness of duty to his fellow men Gregorčič ex- pressed an uncontrolled desire after the mountain plains of his childhood days, mellowed with the heart feelings of a man who loved his people and who was disappointed in them, there is nevertheless an un- broken. love of Slovenes and Slavs. This peculiar and deeply felt personality gave rise to a whole series of poems of this period of his life. Some of them are: “človeka nikar”, “Na bregu”, “Veseli pastir” (The Hap- py Shepherd), “Pbgled v nedolžno oko” (Looking into an Innocent Eye), “Pri zibelki” (At the Cradle), “Mav¬ rica” (The Rainbo\v), “Siromak” (The Unfortunate), “Pri mrtvaškem odru”, (At the Bier), “Jeftejeva pri¬ sega” (Jeftej’s Oath), “Soči” and others. Some of the poems appeared in “Zvon” and others in the “Besed¬ nik” and the “Zora”. failing health of the poet, added to this the pastor did not like him overmuch. As a respite from his duties were his trips to Gorica where his boon comparuon Fran Erjavec always welcomed him. Especially happ” were the trips in spite of the distance when Ivan Gruu- tar also came to Gorica from Kobarid, in later time h- was also joined by the poet Josip Pagliaruzzi-KrilaE The first three years in Rifenberg were not over} productive for Gregorčič. No poems appeared in any°‘ the newspapers of the time. It was only in 1876 that he again began to sing of mountains and nature. The fo lowing years were somewhat more productive, for, 111 spite of bodily ills and conditions of his life, he P ie ? pared one volume of “Poems”, and almost a thiid o- another volume. Rifenberg saw some of the most b eaU u tiful compositions of Gregorčič: “V pepelnični r>oc (Ash Wednesday Night), “Domovini” (To My land), “Na potuj eni zemlji” 1 (On Alienated Soil) vihti” (About the Storm), “Pozabljenim” (J 0 Forgotten), “življenje ni praznik”, (Life is not a day), “Izgubljeni raj” (Lost Paradise) and Probably the most sincere of his stay in Rifenberg the “Ujetega ptica tožba”, (The Complaint of m QJt * Bird), ‘Pastir’, which have a strong reminder tha^ ^ gorcic was singing of his own co.ndition. ie5 months in 1878 were his inspiration for his war son g which he expressed often in the Slovene f° style. They are: “Cesarski razglas”, (The Edict), “Oj z Bogom, ti planinski svet” ^ aieW . e , iers My Mountain Home), “Vojaki na poti”, (®° Route), “Za dom v bojni grom” (Into the ^ (The Maiden s r °tAL S h Mandt F Kovitc t Škufc Gf orgi J' °Pale ' brobu ‘ Krom J' Kotni K Krami t0 ^L S »0h e Thosr Soli-' others- - # eh for Fatherland), “Dekletova molitev’ er). Into this era must be classed his beau tiful c 1 ontr , ‘ !»cadi J Hi, So C hl v S p * tS In 1873 Gregorčič was transferred to Rifenberg as assistant, into the sunny and pleasant Vipavsko, where, nowever, he could not get acquainted. His “Na¬ zaj v planinski raj” is an expression of his desire to be back at the plače v/hich he dearly loved. Besides his inability of getting acquainted with the locality and inereased amount of work in the new position and the bution to friendship poetry “Slovo in nan očilo” vhic !l he wrote on the occasion of Ignacij Grun^ vin? s for Logatec and the elegy “Grobni spomenik P of 0 !

The Sokols who have been commg along at a rapid pace battled the leading Spartan out- 11 and stopped the fighting Kmgs right in their tracks— After the Sokols lost the first contest by over one-hundred pms, they čarne back strong tc ^op the second and third games by rolling grand scores of 987 and 920. Johnny Milavec an- chor man for the losers turned in the best performance of the day by crashing a sparkling 638 series. Joe Rupnik and Tom Jer¬ eb led the Sokols to victory. The gymnasts are now tied for fourth plače and are but five games removed from the top rung. The battle the slipping Utopians Sunday.

SLAPNIK FLORIST’S By Joe Jarc The Norwood traveling team bowling every Sunday night is giving a good account of itself. j Meeting Cleveland’s best bowl- ers this wrecking crew of Slo- venes have earned themselves a fine, rputation, throughout the city, for their good kegling and wonderful sportsmanship. This team is tied for fourth plače, boasting a team pin av- erage of 931. These boys are never discouraged if they lose on strange alleys. Ali they say to the other team is “wait until you bowl on our slides.” No, they’re not trying to scare the other team. Joe Pozelnik, their backer, explains it, this way. Norwood Alleys have a reputa- tion of being the toughest in the city. If my boys win they can- not lose two on their own. “We’ll see, Joe.” The team consists of seven stars, Slogar, Udovich, C. Laas- che, Debelak, Bokar, Leskovec, and Meden, who alternate on bowling nights. Larry Slogar is holding down eighth plače with an individual average of 191, vvhile his team mate Udovich boasts an average of 189. Last Sunday, the Norvroods, took two games from the Munc Recreations. Opening \vith & mightly 1014, followed by 963 and 889 series, they molested the pins for a 2866 score. Inei- dentally the 1014 game, was the first 1000 score hit on the alleys this season. “Chuck” Debelak was the big bang with a neat 592 series. Consistent bowling by Slogar and C. Lausche with 582 and 576 was a main factor in the win.

The Slovene song will not be for- gotten on that date and child- ren who have been especially prepared for the singing will appear on the program. If the reader has not made any engagement for the Christ- mas evening there is an excel- lent opportunity of doing so im- mediately. And if there was an engagement made, then make it so that it will include the going to the Christmas entertainment of the Slovene school j unior di- vision for large numbers will give encouragement in the pursu- ance of the Slovene language.

Whatsa’ mat- ter, Buteh? Don’t teli me you’re bashful! Little streak of the Silver Masks, was knocked down and out during an exciting part of the game! Frank Pohar and “Vidy” Vidmar put on the hero act! Well— you don’t often get a chance to be heroes, boys, do you? Joe Jarc started to sing “Three Little Words”, when someone in the rear yelled: “Make that bas- ket!” Were those the three little words you meant, Joe? Si “Yarbo” Yaeger was heard telling Bill Vidmar, that if he stood under a basket at one end of the floor, he could shoot a bali into the basket on the other end! * * * Bill then informed “Yarbo” that he couldn’t shoot that far unless he had a gun! But Yaeger stili insisted he could do it! Oh well, let’s let it go at that! 355 After one of the games Butch’s lip began to swell! Poor fella! Some girl hit him in the mouth without waiting for him to take his whistle out! Oh yes, it was accidental—not intentional. — Tough lučk! 355 Both Spartan and Sokol bowl- ers had a large number of girl rooters present at the alleys last Sunday—and both girl basket- ball teams had the men out root¬ ing for them Wednesday!
