MARCA, 1942 VOL. XVIII. — LETNIK XVIII. V 300 DEVET KRITIČNIH LET PREDSEDNIKA Dne 4. marca 1942 je minilo devet let, odkar je Franklin D. Roosevelt stopil v Belo hišo in prevzel vodstvo Zedinjenih držav. Noben predsednik naše republike pred njim ni obdržal tega urada tako dolgo, ker nihče pred njim ni bil izvoljen za tri termine. Malo pa je bilo tudi predsednikov, katerim bi bila usoda dežele poverjena v takih kritičnih časih kot sedanjemu predsedniku Rooseveltu. Vsak predsednik je imel opravka z gotovimi problemi, ki niso bili prijetni, toda z izjemo Washing-tona in Lincolna ni noben predsednik pred Rooseveltom imel na programu takih kritičnih odločitev. Kot znano, je predsednik Roosevelt prevzel vlado Zedinjenih držav 4. marca 1933, ob času največje depresije, kar jo pomni zgodovina te dežele. Finančni sistem dežele je bil v razsulu in prvi čin novega predsednika je bil proglasitev začasnega bančnega praznika, da se razrahljane finance vsaj do neke meje stabilizirajo. Sledili so zasilni ukrepi, katerih sprejem je zahteval od kongresa, da je gospodarsko življenje dežele polagoma spet nekoliko k sapi prišlo. Leta 1934 je predsednik pozval kongres, da je vzakonil razne ukrepe za boljšo socialno varnost prebivalstva. Leta J.935 je vrhovno sodišče, sestoječe iz sta^ rih sodnikov, ki se niso mogli prilagoditi novim razmeram, proglasilo za neveljavne več postav, katere je bil sprejel kongres v svrho gospodarskih izboljšav. Istega leta je bila upo-stavljena znana WPA organizacija, ki je potom javnih del dala nekaj zaslužka brezposelnim delavcem. , Leta 1936 je bil Roosevelt izvoljen za drugi predsedniški termin. Svojega republikanskega protikandidata Landona je porazil z veliko večino. Roosevelt je dobil 523 elektoralnih glasov, Landon pa 8. Istega leta je predsednik obiskal Južno Ameriko, da poglobi dobre sosedske odnošaje z južnimi republikami. Da je bil vrlo uspešen, kaže dejstvo, da ima danes naša dežela med vsemi republikami na ameriškem kontinentu same prijateljice. Leta 1937 je predsednik pozval kongres, da poveča število članov vrhovnega sodišča in s tem vzame nekaj moči reakcionarnim sodnikom, ki so vrgli v koš vsako liberalnejšo postavo, sprejeto od kongresa, katera naj bi koristila splošni javnosti. V boju za reorganizacijo vrhovnega sodišča ni bil direktno uspešen, toda ostre debate, ki so se takrat vršile, so povzročile, da je kmalu resigniralo nekaj starejših sodnikov, katere je predsednik nadomestil z mlajši mi, bolj progresivnimi močmi. Istega leta je predsednik tudi v svojem zgodovinskem govoru v Chicagu opozoril ameriško prebivalstvo na nevarnost evropskega nazifašizma. V letu 1938 je predsednik pozval prebivalstvo, da voli v kongres zastopnike, ki so naklonjeni newdealskim reformam, brez ozira na strankarsko pripadnost. Leta 1939 je predsednik Roosevelt z osebnima poslanicama apeliral na Hitlerja in Mussolinija, da naj ne zapalita vojnega požara v Evropi. Apel ni imel (Dalje na 4. strani) NA DOMAČI FRONTI Ko so Združene države vstopile v vojno za svobodo, sta se dve vprašanji takoj vrinili skoraj vsakemu izmed nas: “Kaj naj storim, da pomagam?” “Kaj bo.vse to pomenjalo za mene in mojo družino?” Za milijone ljudi niso odgovori prišli kar takoj in mnogi so bržkone postali nestrpni. Ta čas pa so odgovori tukaj za skoraj vsakogar, saj so tu načini, kako skoraj vsakdo more pomagati v tem boju za svobodo. Kar se tiče vprašanj, kaj bo ta vojna pomenjala za moške in ženske na domači fronti, so tudi odgovori na razpolago, novi odgovori skoraj vsak teden. “Mi, ljudstvo Združenih držav, in naši tovariši, člani tako-zvanih Združenih narodov, namreč vseh onih narodov, katerih ljudstvo veruje, da bi bilo boljše umreti kot živeti brez svobode, bijemo boj, ki ga vojaški izvedenci nazivajo “totalno” vojno. To je vojna, v kateri vsakdo je vojak.” ' : da se ob svojem ča-Avstl.a?-ln osv°bodi Filipine.

B. Z. VAŽNO ZA STARŠE! Glavni odbor je ob priliki letne seje meseca februarja zaključil, da se mesto suspendiran ja ali opustitve mladinskih ases-mentov izplača vsakemu mladinskemu članu dividendo v znesku 50 centov, in sicer v obliki varčevalnih znamk (United States Defense Savings Stamps). Znamke bodo po 10 centov vsaka in vsak mladinski član jih bo prejel pet. Navedena dividenda se bo izplačala mladinskim članom na podlagi stanja mladinskega članstva z dnem 31. marca 1942. To pomeni, da bodo samo tisti mladinski člani upravičeni do varčevalnih znamk, ki so bili dne 31. marca 1942 dobrostoječi in ki so do takrat plačali v glavno blagajno ABZ vsaj en asesment. Mladinski člani, ki bodo 31. marca stali suspendirani, in člani, ki bodo šele v mesecu aprilu ali pozneje pričeli plačevati ases-mente, ne bodo upravičeni do te dividende. V korist mladinskim članom in njih staršem bo, ako bodo slednji poskrbeli, da bodo asesmenti za njih otroke pravočasno plačani. Kdor ne bo imel asesmenta za mesec marc in morebitne dolgujoče asesmente do 1. aprila 1942 plačane, ne bo upravičen do varčevalnih znamk. Varčevalne znamke bomo razposlali na društvene tajnike in tajnice v drugi polovici meseca aprila, ko bo stanje mladinskega članstva z dnem 31. marca ugotovoljeno.

ODGOVOR KRITIKOM Lord Halifax, poslanik Velike Britanije v Zedinjenih državah, je pretekli teden odgovarjal tistim kritikom, ki trdijo, da se Anglija ne udejstvuje dovolj v tej vojni. Dejal je, da se je vojna produkcija Anglije zelo povišala in da odhaja 80 odstotkov te produkcije v kraje, kjer so ojačenja potrebna. Izjavil je, da se tudi angleško vojaštvo stalno odpošilja na razne važne točke izven Anglije, in sicer tako hitro in v takem številu kot dovoljuje število ladij, ki so v take svrhe na razpolago. Največji problem tvorijo velike razdalje in pomanjkanje ladij. ŠESTA KOLONA Izraz peta kolona ali petoko-lonci pomeni izdajalce v lastnih vrstah, torej najnevarnejše notranje sovražnike. Po izjavi polkovnika R. C. Pattersona pa imamo v Ameriki tudi šesto kolono, ki sicer ni tako nevarna kot peta kolona, toda kljub te- zdravih bankovcev, v bodoče dosti škoduJ'e obrambi in ne bo tako pogosto kot dosedaj.

XVIII. Š,t7i2 NAS MLADINSKI ODDELEK Važnost mladinskega oddelka Ameriške bratske zveze se mnogokrat poudarja, vendar še vse. premalo. Mladinski oddelek, ki je bil pred par desetletji pri vseh naših podpornih organizacijah bolj nekaj postranskega, skoro le nekak eksperiment, je postal v novejšem času izredno važna ustanova. Ta važnost se je pokazala takoj, ko je bilo priseljevanje iz starega kraja ustavljeno ali skoro ustavljeno. Rezerve prospektivnih novih članov za odrasli oddelek je bilo vedno manj in organizacije so se začele bolj in bolj zanimati za tu rojene otroke naših priseljencev. Ti so bili večinoma še premladi za vpis v odrasli oddelek, zato so jih organizacije skušale dobiti za svoje mladinske oddelke. Uspehi so bili v splošnem zadovoljivi, pri Ameriški bratski zvezi pa prav dobri. Članom mladinskega oddelka je omogočen lahak prestop v odrasli oddelek, ko dosežejo predpisano starost, in ta ugodnost nam je pridobila več zdravih mladih članov 'v odrasli oddelek, kot so upali največji optimisti. Res je, da vsi člani mladinskega oddelka ne prestopijo v odrasli oddelek, ko dosežejo prepisano starost, res pa je, da jih prestopi zelo lepo število. V današnjih časih je mladinski oddelek skoro edina rezerva, iz katere dobiva pritok odrasli oddelek, in vsi znaki kažejo, da bo še za dogleden čas tako ostalo. Vsled tega je za nadaljno zdravo rast Ameriške bratske zveze zelo važno, da ima vedno močan mladinski oddelek. Zato je tndi g?avni odbor za letos razpisal kampanjo za mladinski oddelek. Vsak mesec prestopajo člani iz mladinskega v odrasli oddelek, zato je potrebno, da vsak mesec dobivamo pritok novih mladinskih članov od zunaj. Priseljenci iz starega kraja ne prihajajo več, toda vsak dan se 'rodijo kandidati za mladinski oddelek med našimi sorodniki, prijatelji in znanci, slovenskega ali drugorodnega porekla. Naša dolžnost naj bi bila, da vso to mladino pridobimo za naš mladinski oddelek Posebno važno pa je, da vpišemo v mladinski oddelek vse nedoletne otroke naših članov in članic. Zdi se, da člani ponekod pozabljajo na točko 526 naših pravil, ki določa sledeče: “Članice, ki plačujejo asesmente v bolniški sklad, so upravičene ob vsakem porodu do vsote $30.00, in sicer dobi mati $25.00, novorojenec ali novo-rojenka pil $5.00, ako se v 30 dneh vpiše v društvo Ameriške bratske zveze. Teh pet dolarjev plača mladinski asesment približno za tri leta.” To je važna točka. Članica lahko zavaruje svojega novorojenega otroka takoj po rojstvu za približno tri leta brez kakih stroškov zanjo ali njeno družino. Take ugodnosti člani, in posebno društveni tajniki, ne bi smeli prezreti. Razume se, da je s vsoto petih dolarjev, ki jih da Zveza, plačan mladinski asesment le za načrt “JA,” v katerem znaša mesečni asesment samo 15 centov. Mladinski člani se lahko zavarujejo tudi v drugih načrtih za večjo smrtnino, kjer so mesečni asesmenti seveda višji. Ko član mladinskega oddelka ob predpisani starosti prestopi v odrasli oddelek, dobi nekaj kredita na račun bodočih asesmentov. Poleg tega, kot že omenjeno, je la&hk in enostaven prestop iz mladinskega v odrasli ocl-cfelek. Društveni tajniki so iz glavnega urada opozorjeni, kdaj ta ali oni mladinski član doseže predpisano starost in je zrel za prestop v odrasli o’ddelek. Večina društvenih tajnikov gotovo upošteva dotično opozorilo in priporoča mladinskemu članu, oziroma njegovim staršem, da prestopi v drasli oddelek. To dokazuje velik pritok članov iz mladinskega v odrasli oddelek. Vsi taki društveni tajniki zaslužijo priznanje in pohvalo. Upajmo, da so vsi taki ali da vsaj taki postanejo. Kakor že ‘omenjeno, je naš mladinski oddelek neprecenljiva rezerva, iz katere črpa organizacija mlade in zdrave člane. Mladinski oddelek je dalje dober risk za organizacijo, ker je med mladino nizka umrljivost. Rezerva mladinskega oddelka je vsled tega močna in je dovoljevala izdatke za naše uspešne mladinske konvencije. Zšradi izrednih razmer v deželi letos glavni odbor ni razpisal mladinske konvencije, pač pa je za čas kampanje, ki bo trajala do konca leta, razpisal lepe nagrade za novo pridobljene mladinske člane. Društveni tajniki naj bodo tem potom tudi ponovno onozorieni, da ima urednik-unravnik pravico pošiljati Novo Dobo tudi mladinskim članom, katerih starši ali stareiei bratje in sestre niso Člani naše Zveze. Društveni tainiki nai naslove takih članov, no enega iz družine, snoročijo upravništvu. če namreč družina želi piiejemati list. Na ta način se mladi član bolj seznani s svojo organizacijo in včasih se na ta način tudi starši pridobijo za pristop. VSAK PO SVOJE (Nadaljevanje s 1. strani) še, ki se tako bojijo, da bi nam Rusi vsilili svoj boljševizem, se niti malo ne bojijo, da bi nam Kitajci naprtili svoje bogove. * V Kansas Cityu se je odvetnik Joseph McCune prij-avil za civilno obrambo. Mlada tajnica v uradu za civilno obrambo ga je vprašala za kvalifikacije in mož je odvrnil, da je pač uspešen odvetnik, toda o civilno obrambnem delu ne razume nič. Tajnica je nato na prijavno listino njegove kvalifikacije zapisala sledeče: Visoko izobražen, toda ne zna nič. * V Rockinghamu, North Carolina, je policist na cesti ustavil moža, ki je v očividno pijanem stanju vozil avtomobil. Na policistovo vprašanje, če je pijan, je mož pritrdil, toda je dostavil, da se je napil iz patriotizma. In je navedel razloge: vlada potrebuje denar za vojno in na žganje je naložen visok davek; čim več se ga popije, tem več denarja bo dobila vlada in tem prej bo sovražnik poražen. Zakrknjeni policist pa ni verjel v take vrste patriotizem in je moža aretiral. * Na svoj način smo vsi avtomobilisti najbolj patriotični državljani, ker plačujemo največ davkov, četudi se ne nalivamo z rakijo. In še kako radi jih plačujemo! Federalni in državni davek na gasolin, prodajni davek na olje, licenčne plošče v aprilu, “osebni davek” na avto mobil v februarju in juliju, vozniško licenco v oktobru itd. In pri vsem tem nam še obljubu jejo ,da nam bodo morda kon-fiscirali avtomobilske obroče, nakar bomo patriotično peš hodili. • * Vpričo vedno se množečih vojnih omejitev je nekatere ljudi že začelo skrbeti, kaj bo, če nastane pomanjkanje žajfe. Kaj bo? Nič ne bo. Lepi ljudje ne rabijo umivanja, ker so že itak lepi, nam drugim pa vsa žajfa nič ne pomaga. * Klečeplazenje, ki se zadnje čase pričenja štuliti v amedško-slovensko javnost, p o s t a ja /ogabno. Ali nismo več čez vse na svetu ponosni, da smo ameriški državljani, podložni nikomur, razen volji ameriškega naroda, ki j e'v tej deželi naj višja postava? Ali v pretirani toleranci dovoljujemo, da se nam od gotovih strani obešajo klečeplazne resolucije, in smo preveč gentlemeni, da bi udarili s kolom? . Iz Washingtona poročajo, da je federalna tiskarna bankovcev tako zaposlena s tiskanjem vojnih bondov in drugih važnih tiskovin, da v bodoče stari, obrabljeni bankovci ne bodo tako hitro nadomeščam z novimi, kot se je to vršilo do sedaj.

With this report arriving too late for last week’s issue, we’ll run through the happenings. When you read this the crucial series between Marytons and Gottliebs will have been completed, and perhaps the results, (if received in time) may be in this issue. The match game between Gottlieb’s and Wencel’s was a thriller. Each took one game, and the teams sailed into a close finish in the last game with the final decision pending on the important arms of the veteran anchormen. Čapt. Chester Harey of the Gottlieb’s had the edge which enabled Gottlieb’s to take the final game by 12 pins. Captain Joe Fajfar of Wencel’s met with misfortune as his ball gave him a 7-10 railroad, while Harey got a strike. Frankie Kovacic did his bit for Wencel’s, banging out a 556 score. Tony, brother of Frankie, was also high for the winners with his 502 series, j Maryton’s Cafe played Zef-j ran’s Morticians and took a two-jgame victory by mere chance. ! For Louis Zefran with 199 pulled the night-cap out of the j fire for the Maryton’s, ending up with a 510 series. Johnnie | Hamm with 173 took high honors for the Morticians.

News from %pslyn Roslyn, Wash. —- The AFU basketball team, consisting of six players and led by Walmir Segota, athletic supervisor went to Yakima March 9, 10, 11 and participated in the “Y Play for Fun” tournament, sponsored every year by the Yakima YM-CA. Twelve teams competed for first place honors. The AFU players swamped the Yakima Brethren -team 39 to 18, Monday, then beat Wapato, Wash., 45-34, Tuesday. Playing for the first place in the finals Wednesday they lost to the Yakima Avenue Clothiers, coming out in second place. One player was hit in the nose in the Second quarter. In the fourth quarter two players were taken out on fouls. The injured player had to return to action and the four players had to finish the game. Our team didn’t do badly; the final score was 25-35. It was all in fun though. Second place at a tournament is better than no place, besides, it gave the AFU Lodge 39 of Roslyn much publicity. In the Miner-Echo the Upper Kittitas County weekly newspaper March 13, we read the following article reg arding Tony Chapetta, a member of Lodge 39 AFU of Roslyn: "Two former Roslyn ball players will make their debut in the Pacific Coast League this season—at least until the draft catches up with them. “Tony Chapetta, pitcher, and Carl Chapetta, first baseman, who have been working in defense plants have been playing in winter league baseball at: San Diego, California.” Sports writer Earl Keller of the San Diego Tribune-Sun gives the Chapetta brothers the following mention: “Tony Chapetta, getting a second trial with the San Diego nine, could be the rookie to stay around. His arm, sore at Anaheim, California, last year has been firing ’em in there. Tony has much stuff and could become a great pitcher, old-timers tell us. He reported at the El j Centra training camp Feb. 23. j “Carl Chapetta signed up for; first base. Both Tony and Carl are subject to draft and both may be lofet to San Diego. “Tony was scheduled to pitch for San Diego against Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics last Sunday.” * To Mary Balint of Enumclaw: The girls are getting organized here and as soon as the weather clears up awhile and the field gets dry we’ll start practicing. We have a few rookies to attend to first. Am still waiting to hear from you, Dorothy Rossa, and I will answer your Epistle’s as soon as I can.

I now have to get some more information on the big Slavic Benefit Refl Cross Dance which the nine Slavic lodges in Roslyn and Cle Elum are making plans for. And you may hear from me again in the near future. Agnes Segota, Lodge 39, AFU. Office of the Supreme Secretary AFU IMPORTANT TO PARENTS! The Supreme Board of the American Fraternal Union, at its annual meeting last month, authorized a dividend of 50 cents to each juvenile member. This dividend will be paid to the juvenile members in the form of United States Defense Savings Stamps. The stamps will be in 10 cent denominations and each juvenile member will receive five of them. Said dividend will be paid to juvenile members on the basis of their standing as of March 31, 1942. This means that only such juvenile members will be entitled to receive the savings stamps as have been in good standing March 31, 1942 and who have paid to that date at least one assessment into the supreme treasury of the Union. Members who shall, on March 31, 1942, stand suspended and those who will commence paying assessments April 1, 1942, and thereafter, will not be entitled to said dividend. It will be in the interest and for the benefit of the juveniles and their parents if the latter will see to it that the assessments are paid in full and paid promptly. Whosoever shall fail to pay the current assessment or delinquent assessments by April 1, 1942, will deprive himself of sharing in the/foregoing dividend.. Defense savings stamps will be forwarded to our local secretaries during the last half of the month of April, after the standing of the membership as of March 31, 1942, has been determined. Fraternally yours, ANTON ZBASNIK, Supreme Secretary. PROMISES “STUFFED” JAP FOR BOSS ^apredek’s Fete Pvt. John Smrtnik By Little Stan Euclid, O. — A scene typical of similar events held throughout the nation was enacted at the Slovene Society Home in Euclid, O., Saturday night as Napredek’s Lodge 132, AFU, augmented by scores of bowler friends and chums gathered to pay tribute to Johnny Smrtnik who donned the uniform of Un, cle Sam Monday. The event came as a complete surprise to Private Johnny who didn’t suspect what was in store until his chum, Frank Chukayne, escorted him thru the doors of the hall where he was giyen a rousing ovation. The surprise was so complete, Private Smrtnik looked dumbfounded as his friends photographed what will remain forever a memorable scene. The lump that gathered in many throats indicated the poignant feeling which enveloped everyone who participated in the party. The tendency was to be gay and lighthearted—to give Private Johnny and his pal, Frank Leskovec —a royal send-off and it also indicated the feeling of patriotism and pride of Napredek’s and their friends toward Privates Johnny and Frank, who, they knew, would uphold the tradition of our people by helping defeat our enemies and insure a complete victory for our country. While a cheery atmosphere prevailed through festivities a tinge of sadness and happiness brought a few scattered, but unashamed tears. That Private Johnny had many friends was evident. That his lodge was helping to give him this send-off indicated the patriotic feeling of loyalty and friendly fraternalism between members. It was Private Johnny Smrtnik’s night—and everybody joined with him to make the most of it. Proudest people in the hall were Johnny’s parents, his brother Frankie, and his sisters—the entire family. Good, loyal members of our AFU, they did everything in their power to entertain Johnny’s many guests and friends. Upstairs Tony Malavašič and his orchestra supplied entertaining dance tunes. Refreshments, food and drink, were served to. all. Napredek’s assisted at every turn. Chukayne, iRalnh Slopko. Frank Sesek, the ladies in the kitchen afl did their part well. Mr. and Mrs. John Tanko, secretary and treasurer of Lodge 132, Mr. Gruden, the president; Mr. and Mrs. Golob; Mrs. Slopko, her daughter, Frieda—and you could name loads of others, were “all out” when it came to put-fonix this, party over. From Ilirska Vila came Mr. and Mrs. Ludvig Prosen and Laddie Debevec, with Joe Mostar, and others. Stan Zagorc and Frankie Znidar led the Johnnies delegation, which included among others, Elsie Desmond and Betty Plevnik. Highlight of the evening was when Frank Sesek, excellent youth leader of the Napredek’s assumed the role of toastmaster. As the young ladies distributed liquid refreshments to all, Bro. Sesek turned to Mr. Smrtnik, Johnny’s dad, and had him lea^ the entire group in song. Popular Slovene songs were sung and everyone was in fine fettle. By this time the girls had finished serving and Frank Sesek tailed for a toast. Everyone arose to the man. For a second it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. A tear that dropped here and there was quickly brushed aside. Then Mr. Smrtnik who with his wife and family, sat alongside their honored son and led the group in a song that was traditional with our Slovene people for such an occasion. It was sad and beautiful. Tears flowed unchecked. A split second later the strains of “Moje dekle” reverberated through the h^ll casting away the heavy feeling ’round the heart which had so suddenly weighed every- (Continued on page 7) Lorain Bowlers Lorain, O. — Bowlers and all interested members of Lodge 6, AFU, who would like to participate in the 8th Annual National AFU Tenpin tournament in Barberton, O., April 17, 18, and 19th, are asked; to attend a special meeting in the Slovene National Home April 1st at 7:30 p. m.

Here’s your chance to earn extra money this year! Join the AFU Juvenile Campaign Drive today! Do Your Part in Our '42 Juvenile Campaign Little SUn SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED ^ew Juvenile Certificate Sxplained Ely, Minn. — The Juvenile Campaign is on! I hope each and everyone of you juveniles will do your utmost in securing new members for our organization. I hope you juveniles won’t take the attitude, “There isn’t any convention this year, so why work.” Remember, although there is no convention there are bigger cash awards to work for. And if you really did want to go on a trip this summer, isn’t this an excellent opportunity to earn the money for it? How about it, everybody? I’m taking a leader’s course in Girl Scout training now, the purpose of which is to aid in National Defense and home security. It teaches those taking the course to lead girls of any age group. I started as a leader of the Brownie troop a few weeks ago, and I enjoy the work very much as the girls are so willing to cooperate. Mr. George Banovetz, son of j Mr. Steve Banovetz, Sr., an or-j ganizer of our AFU, was married to Miss Molly Kostelac on February 14. Mr. Banovetz is a Daily thousands upon thousands of children are born throughout the world. War or catastrophes do not hinder the travels of the stork. For with every tick of the clock a baby is born. Immediately upon birth an additional responsibility is placed on the shoulders of the parents. Their’s isn’t only the problem of taking care of the child by protecting his health and following the doctor’s orders so that the child may grow up to be a strong, healthy lad or lassy. But other problems involving future security of the child are also of primary importance. Education is considered extremely important so that the youngster may grow up to occupy a place in life upon Teaching adulthood. Financing this education is the problem of parents who in many cases earn just enough to squeeze through each month, allowing little, if' anything, for savings. January of 1942 our Supreme Board held annual session in the Home Office of our American Fraternal Union at Ely, Minn. Here they inaugurated a campaign for the enrollment of new juvenile members to begin as of Jan. 1st, 1942 and end, Dec. 31st, 1942. In another section of this paper, you will see what prizes are awarded tb those who enroll the new members. This campaign is not being conducted merely to have your child become a member of the American Fraternal Union. Rather it is being pressed to enable parents to provide their children with a well-planned life insurance policy which will upon maturity give them a good financial start upon reaching adulthood. Our AFU has several various juvenile insurance plans. First plan, or JA, is probably best known to all our members. It provides a death benefit of $450 after a juvenile is 12 years or older. If a juvenile dies before that age, the death benefit is paid according to the tabulated list in the by-laws. Assessments for this policy are 15-cents per month. Second plan known as JB provides a $1,000 death benefit insurance policy which expires when the juvenile reaches the age of 18 years. Regular assessment for this type of policy is $1.00 per month. Third plan is JC, better known as 20-payment life insurance plan. Insurance plans in $500 or $1,000 denominations are issued in this plan. Regular monthly assessments for $500 insurance under this plan is 85-cents; for $1,000, the monthly assessment is $1.60 per month. 20-Year Endowment Is Newest Policy At the semi-annual meeting of the Supreme Board held in August, 1941, the new 20-year Endowment insurance certificate for Juveniles was adopted. It is issued in denominations of $250.00; $500.00; and $1,000.00. THIS NEW CERTIFICATE IS A COMBINATION OF SAVINGS AND INSURANCE! The terms and conditions are beneficial to both, parents and children. In the event of the child’s death, the parents receive the insurance. If the child survives the period of 20-years, he or she receives what the parents saved for them through this insurance. This new certificate has the same kind of non-forfeiture values as the adult 20-year Endowment certificate or policy, namely, cash or loan value, paid-up insurance, and extended insurance. In a detailed explanation of the new insurance policy which appeared for the first time in the Oct. 15, 1941 issue of Nova Doba, our supreme secretary Bro. Anton Zbasnik, declared: To make it more clear to the parents who might be interested in this new certificate, let us make an example for a child who is one year old and insured for $1000.00: The monthly assessment is $3.36. After the assessments have been paid for 20 years, the insured receives $1000.00 in cash. In case he would not care to take the entire amount in cash, he could take $669.00 in cash and a fully paid-up certificate for $1000.00 and if he did not care to avail himself of the second option, he could receive a paid-up certificate for $3,022.00 which would be paid after his death If, after paying assessments for two years, the parents of the insured were unable or did not care to continue paying the assessments, they could cash the certificate for $49.63 or obtain a loan in the same amount which would enable them to keep the certificate in force. In the event that they would not avail themselves of this privilege, the certificate would automatically extend itself for 8 years and 282 days and if the insured should die during this period, the entire $1000j00 would be paid to the par ents without any deduction. | chemistry teacher in the Ely schools. Quite a few pictures of Ely men in the armed forces of the [U. S. are being displayed in the window of the grocery store operated by John Buccowich of Ely. I think it’s a good idea. Anyway, the pictures are draw-i ing big crowds. Ely’s latest war casualty is Charles Laajala, a member of the U. S. Merchant Marine. Again I’d like to remind you to do your bit in the campaign for new members. So until next month, this is your Ely Correspondent. Florence D. Startz No. 1, AFU Indianapolis, Ind. — The Illinois, Indiana, W i sconsin Federation of AFU Lodges will hold their next meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, April 26th, 1942. This will mark the first time in history that the Federation will meet in Indianapolis, ! and elaborate entertainment plans for the representatives of various lodges are being made. If the parents should cease paying assessments after 5 years, they could cash the certificate for $165.12 or receive a loan in the same amount, and if they did not exercise this option the certificate would automatically extend itself for 15 years and in addition the insured would receive the sum of $142.00 at the end of the 20th certificate year. If the parents should cease paying assessments at the end of 10 years, they could cash the certificate for $387.82 or receive a loan in the same amount, and if they did not care to exercise this option the certificate would autonuttically extend itself for 10 years and in addition the insured would receive the sum of $497.00 at the end of the 20th certificate year. If the parents should cease paying assessments at the end of 15 years, the certificate could be cashed for $667.46 or a loan obtained in the same amount, and if this option was not exercised the certificate would automatically extend itself for 5 years and in addition the insured would receive the sum of $769.00 at the end of the 20th certificate year. The foregoing example applies to a certificate of $1000.00. If the amount of insurance is $250.00 or $500.00, then the cash or loan features and the cash payable at maturity are proportionately reduced. The extended insurance feature, however, is in all cases the same. Medical examination of juveniles applying for insurance under the new certificate will not be required, except in the State of Ohio. In the State of Colorado such examination will be required only in cases where the amount of insurance applied for exceeds the sum of $500.00. The new certificate will not be issued in the States of New York, Maryland, West Virginia and Idaho. In the States of Indiana and Montana the new certificate will be issued in amounts of $250.00 and $500.00 only. I WISH TO REPEAT THAT THE NEW CERTIFICATE IS A COMBINATION OF SAVING AND INSURANCE BECAUSE THE TOTAL ASSESSMENTS PAID IN OVER A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS ARE A LITTLE OVER $800.00, WHEREAS THE INSURED RECEIVES FULLY $1000.00 AT THE END OF THE TERM AND IN ADDITION IF/15 INSURED DURING THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF 20 YEARS. Fkich and every juvenile member insured under the new certificate will have the right to transfer to the adult department at any time after attaining age 16 and he shall not be required to change the certificate. The assessment for the death benefit and the terms and conditions under which the certificate was issued will remain unchanged. It is our firm belief that after you have read the explained features of this new insqrance certificate, you will immediately obtain such a policy for your child. With the 1942 Juvenile membership drive well underway, it would be well for lodge secretaries to explain this policy to prospective parents and encourage them to enroll their children in this plan of insurance with the American Fraternal Union. For your child’s future welfare—it is a duty for parents to seriously consider this plan. Cleveland, O. —| How would you like to make money to buy U. S. Defense Bonds and Stamps? Or how would you like to make more extra money to buy new dresses and all other nice things you have always longed for? These are wartimes and it’s pretty hard to get an extra quarter or so from daddy or mommy. They have to watch their money to pay big taxes and help win this war. But the Magic Carpet has a brand new idea for every juvenile member. And if the members just look at it from every angle, they’ll quickly see how they can earn much money by taking an active part in this 1942 Juvenile campaign. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ENROLL JUVENILE MEMBERS INTO YOUR LODGE AND YOU’LL BE EARNING MONEY. The more new members; the more money for you! Why, it’s just like our AFU* was giving you a job, and paying you commission. Which is exactly what it is! If you read the regular English Section of Nova Doba, you will see just how much money can be made. Besides, you may even help your lodge win a grand prize of $100! And if you do an extra-special job, you may have your picture in the Nova Doba and a darned swell write-up to boot! Here’s your chance to take a job and really make yourself some real money. You have to be careful and also be a good salesman or saleswoman. You must make certain you’ll enroll good members who will always want to be members of our AFU and good friends of the Magic Carpet. Here’s all you have to do! Go to your lodge secretary and ask him to give you those new juvenile member a p p lication blanks. When you get those read them carefully so that when you ask your young friends and their parents permission to have them join our AFU, you will know just what to ask them, and fill out every blank space. Read the English Section of our Nova Doba very carefully and you’ll see that you can make $1.00 for every juvenile you have enrolled in Plan JA. This plan carries insurance up t6 $450.00 and the new member pays only 15-cents each month. There is another plan, JB, which insures new juveniles for $1,000 up until they are 18 years old. They pay $1.00 assessments each month, and you will earn $2.50 as soon as you sign a new member up in this plan. Then there is the 20-payment life plan for new juveniles. New members can be insured for $500, or for $1,000. If they take the $500 plan, you will make $2.50; and if they take the $1,000 plan, you can make $3.50. (Just imagine, you can sign up three in the $1,000, and you will make $11.50!) More than many of your dads make in one day! The newest and best plan for all new juvenile members would be the 20-year Endowment policy which is considered more a savings plan in addition to death benefit. It can be taken out in $250, $500, or $1,000 policies. For instance, if you are ten years old now, and take out a 20-year endowment policy for $1,000; you will get the entire $1,000 out when you have held the policy for 20 years. Or if you have a little brother or sister who was just born, you could take out that 20-year Endowment for $1,000, and when little brother or sister is 20 years old, they will have $1,000 all in one big lump sum. They can then go to college or anything. You can make all the way from $1.50 to $3.50 for yourself by signing members up under this new insurance plan. Read more about these plans in the regular English Section. Then talk to your lodge secretary; or your mother or dad, and they will tell you more. After you have learned everything you can about these different kinds of insurances, you take those new member applications with you and start talking to your school chums and other friends. They might tell you: “Oh, do we have to go to the hospital and get examined to belong?” Unless you live in Ohio—you can tell them “Nope, you don’t have to go to the hospital for any kind of examination. All you have to do is fill out these blanks, answering every ques tion that is asked and you can become a member at once.” In Ohio only is there a physical hospital examination required. In other states, this isn’t necessary for juvenile members. Make yourself loads of money. Just apply for this job to your lodge secretary, and he will help you all he can! And just think, your fathers and mothers will be so very proud of you to see how you are promoting fraternalism and making money for yourself by increasing your own lodge membership ! Will you help in these war times? Please write to the Magic Carpet Juvenile Page and tell us all if you are going to take this job! And the Magic Carpet will give you all the help it can! Let’s go—only dollar signs ahead! last tc!d tad aik's Hi. soon ftatj tide; tircu 4e ] itten >ye Siadi % c s ltyj He Ntt Over 20 Million Tons of Paper Needed in 1942 ^»ti K w t- w If], t< I \ \ Say in K Seven million tons of paper! That is some pile; but that is what you and about 130 million other Americans can save in 1942 with just a little care. This pile is only about one-third of the 20 some odd million tons that America will need for war and civilian use. The paper that is now being thrown away or burned can be converted into pasteboard to wrap shells, protect airplane parts, and delicate precision instruments, wrap soldier’s clothes and Army supplies, and to bundle foods for United Nations. The more paper you save, the less the pinch when you go to shop. Salvage paper! Make that pile “at least a broom-stick high,” and then call The Salvation Army, HEn-derson 5357, or send a postal card to 2179 East 55th Street, and the truck with the red shield will call for your donation. ■% :: % ,;ffi ST.

Anyone desiring to do so can contact Mrs. Mehelich or your secretary. Several of 162’s juvenile members have informed me that they’re saving pennies and dimes like nobody’s business and investing them in defense stamps and bonds. That’s the spirit boys and girls! We’re proud of you! One of these times if I can get around to it we’ll have you on an honor roll in this column. I hope I’ll have a nice, long report. Do your stuff! Also who is going to get that first gold star for writing to the Juvenile Page? You promised to write so come on now! Alice Grady and Dorothy Kladnik have promised to make it sure-fire this time, so no alibis girls. The four bright Lokovšek youngsters should have plenty to say to our juvenile audience. They do so well in school. How about it? Give us a scoop on the Grade School Operetta. Maybe Charlie Krainik will surprise us and be the first to dress up the Magic Carpet Page with one of his fine articles and get his name at the top'of the list. Hurry children—time’s a-wastin’! And now ladies, do tell me. Is there going to be a satisfactory explanation to that fizzle that was supposed to be a “postna pardi” at Mrs. Richtars? First Hazel called Mrs. Richtar and warned her that a surprise “maškaradna” party was being organized and would put in an appearance at her house that evening. Gee, then Mrs. Richtar called the florist, cleaned and dusted like fury, baked potica and krofe—and then no gostje. Don’t know whether Hazel was a fake—who got cold feet—or was Mr. Kurentič the guy? Somebody clear this up, please! Too much of this konfuzija is ^driving us to distraction. I warn you, Mrs. ? ? ?—if you don’t tell—I’ll squeal! Spring always brings out the best in budding artists.

Pittsburgh, Pa. — The Du-quesne University Tamburitza Orchestra opens its final vacation tour of the school year on April 5 with a performance in Gary, Indiana. The organization will cover many cities of the Middle West. Led by Matt L. Gouze, the fifteen student entertainers will play in Chicago, Milwaukee, and other important cities in the area. This Easter tour will occupy the Duquesne orchestra for two weeks, during which time thousands will have the opportunity of hearing their 1941-42 musical production. For seven members of the Duquesne Tamburitza Orchestra the Easter tour will 'bring a reunion with families and friends. Andrew Trtan and Danilo Za-kula await the Gary program, because they live close by—in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, respectively. The following day Kathryn Japjec, the orchestra’s dance soloist, will greet her family in her home town, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. ! the group plays in her home city, Chicago. I John Bauman reaches his home at almost the last program of the Easter tour.

Defense Job Training for Women Cleveland, O. — Women of all ages and backgrounds are enrolling at Fenn College this month to begin training for jobs in defense industries. Fenn will begin in April, free courses designed to train women for jobs as inspectors, draftsmen, and office-workers, hundreds of such workers now being needed by Cleveland industry. Several of the largest war production firms in Cleveland have requested Fenn College to institute this training, six firms alone stating that within the next three months they would need 800 women to replaqe men who are going to the army and to fill the gaps caused by plant expansion. Included in these firms are Thompson Products, Inc.; White Motor Company, Cleveland Graphite Bronze, Weat h e r h e a d Company, Thompson. Aircraft, Inc.; Addressograph-Multigraph Co., Parker Appliance Inc.; General Motors Deisel Corporation and others. The only qualification for admission to these free 16-week courses leading to employment in war industries is that the applicant be a high school graduate. “Girls and women who are now working in non-defense activities ar,e especially urged to take this training,” stated Dr. C. .V. Thomas, president of the skyscraper college. “We will arrange both day and evening classes so every women will be able to attend,” he added. Application for these free courses are now being received at Fenn Tower, East 24th Street and Euclid Avenue, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Further information may also be secured by phoning Max B. Robinson, Dean of Engineering at Prospect 0250.

Zdi se mi, da sem se čutila osamljeno,” je zategnila Linda. “Zdeli ste se mi človeku podobni, ko ste bili tamkaj na cesti, a pravega človeka že nisem videla več ko mesec dni.” “Hm. Upam, da ne boste razočarani,” se je zasmejal Mark. Linda je opazila, da ima Mark zdrave bele zobe in zelo mična usta. ‘Baš sem si pripravljal večerjico. Puščavnik ne je mnogo, ker je preveč zamudno pripravljati hrano za enega samega človeka. Skoraj vedno pripravim preveč ali premalo.” Mark je položil nogo na lfu-hinjski stol poleg ognjišča, se naslonil s komolcem na koleno in čakal, kdaj bo zavrela kava na ognjišču, Linda je odložila svoj mehki klobuk in jopič. Imela je raševinaste kratke hlače, ki so bile malone nepremočljive, in močne čevlje. “To je res ljubka hišica,” je pripomnila. “Da,” je odvrnil Mark in se z njo vred ozrl po sobi, “ni slaba, zlasti če upoštevamo, kako malo je mogel Klovacz storiti zanjo. Siromak! Jaz niti ne pričakujem več, da bi se še kdaj vrnil.” Segel je čez ognjišče, kjer je visela cela vrsta ponev, ter snel s stene ponvico. Postavil jo je na odprti ogenj in del vanjo žlico masti, ki jo je bil zajel iz pločevinaste škatle. Mast je pričela cvrčati in se kaditi, nakar je spretno ubil v ponvico dve j jajci. Linda ga je gledala kakor j svojega starega znanca. Mark se je okrenil proti njej. “Ali mi hočete pomagati, kakor pravijo tu pri nas, gospodična Archer?” je vprašal. “Ce niste morda pbvabljenl kam 'na večerjo ?” Linda se je zasmejala in odvrnila: “Rada, če mi boste dovolili pozneje umiti posodo. Bo- j jim se, da ni nič ostalo zame, če pridem sedaj domov, in gospod Gare ne daje hrane zamudnikom.” Z zadovoljstvom je gledala Marka, ki je pričel nositi hrano na mizo. Imel je než-! ne, spretne roke. Čudila se mu je, toda ni ga hotela nadlegovati! z izpraševanjem. Ko je bilo vse pripravljeno, j jo je Mark povabil k mizi. Šele zdaj je opazil, da je odložila svoj klobuk in ji gladki, svetli; lasje ožarjajo zardelo obličje. Sedla je za mizo Marku nasproti. Spogledala sta se in Mark je pri tej priči občutil, da ne more odvrniti oči od nje. Mark je potisnil stol nazaj in se nagnil naprej. Njegove temne, žive oči so jo objele s skoraj neosebnim pogledom. “Hudir!” si je mislil. “Ni lepo od take krasotice, da pride tako iznenada in preseneti človeka.” “Rad bi vedel, odkod prihajate pravkar?” je vprašal zvedlji-vo. Linda ga je takisto pogledala, ne da bi se bila nasmehnila. Spočetka je bila na videz kakor očarana in nesposobna, da bi odgovorila. Droban dež je bičal hišico in zunaj v brezovju je žvižgal veter kakor izgubljen ptič. Ti glasovi so poglobili občutek toplega zavetja in varnosti v Klovaczevi kuhinji. Toda povzročili so tudi nasproten občutek. Zlpudili so dvojici, ki je našla tukaj zavetje, v dnu duše( atrah pred samoto, pradavno grozo zapuščenosti v pustinji. V prvem nezaznavno kratkem trenotku sta iskala nečesa drug drugemu v očeh, iskala razume-! vanja in zbližanja pod vseob-jemajočim vplivom zemlje, ki ju je neločljivo združila kot dva svoja dela in klika. Ta trenotek je bil sličen toplemu stisku pri-' jateljskih rok. " j Linda je povesila oči. Pobrala j je vilice na mizi in jih položila nazaj točno na prejšnje mesto. Mark si je sedeč podpiral brado z poko in jo gledal. “Od tam,” je rekla Linda in pokazala s prstom. “Verjamem,” je odvrnil Mark resno. “Menda vas ljubim, ali kaj.” Linda se je nervozno nasmehnila. S svojim pomenljivim pogledom ji je zbudil strah. Govoril je nekako tako, kakor da bi hotel slišati, kako bo zvenelo. “Res? Ali bi mi hoteli najprej povedati svoje ime?” je dejala nalahko, da bi ji glas ohranil svoj navadni zvok. Pobrala je vilice. Mark se je zdajci začudil lastni smelosti. Kaj mu je le prišlo na um nocoj? Gotovo jo je s tem odbil. “Odpustite mi, nisem vas na-■ meraval begati. Povsem prepri-j čan sem o tem. Hotel sem vam le razodeti, da še ni prišel nihče na ta način k meni, kakor ste prišli nocoj vi — kakor da mi je bilo to sojeno. Bil sem tako zapuščen in sam.” Val nepoznanega čuvstva je prevzel Lindo, ko je to govoril. Nekaj jo je sililo, da bi planila k njemu, da bi pogladila lase temu neznancu in mu zapletla prste vanje, tako da ji ne bi bil več tujec. “Oh!” je vzkliknila. “Vedela sem to tako dobro!” Pri tej priči je iztegnila roko preko mize in se nagnila proti njemu. On je položil svojo roko z lahnim pritiskom v njeno, nakar sta se oba zasmejala. “Toda niste mi še povedali svojega imena?” ga je spomnila. I Mark se je zravnal na stolu, i “Oh, za božjo voljo — nisem ga še! Jaz sem Jordan — Mark Jordan. A zdaj večerjajva. Gotovo ste lačni.” Ponudil ji je kruha. “Kako vam ugaja kava?” je vprašal nato hitro. “Dobra, prav dobra je,” mu je zatrjevala. “Kakor vidim, ste za čuda dober kuhar.” Napetost je za hip popustila in kazalo je, da si bosta kmalu prijatelja. Večerjala sta skupno jajca, pražen krompir, kruh, konzervirane češplje, ki jih je bil pustil Klovacz, in kavo. Raz-govarjala sta se o življenju v Oelandu in njega trpkem čaru, ki sta ga občutila ob svojem prihodu. Mark še ni imel dotlej časa, da bi se bil seznanil z naseljenci. Linda mu jih je opisala v kratkih, ostrih potezah. Njene opazke so se mu zdele kaj kratkočasne. “Sandbovi so vam najbližji j sosedi,” mu je pojasnjevala. “Gospa Sandbova se smatra za j srečno, ker ji je mož umrl, toda v resnici je v njenem srcu bolj živ, nego je bil pred smrt-i jo-” Pripovedovala mu je o Garo-1 vih in težki usodi, ki očito visi ! nad njimi. “Judita je krasno dekle, slič-nejša divji kobili, nego čemur-j koli drugemu. Toda Kaleb ji ne da niti trenotka prostega časa. Redkokdaj pridem v stik z njo, ! četudi bi jo tako rada bolje spoznala.” “Hm, po mojih mislih bi mogli marsikaj koristnega storiti za dekleta, če bi imeli priliko,” je dejal Mark. Nato ji je pripo-! vedoval na kratko o sebi in svo-ijem odgajanju med duhovniki, katerih skrbi je bil prepuščen po očetovi smrti, ki ga pa več ne pomni; povedal ji je trohico o svoji materi, odlični Angležinji, ki mu je umrla, ko je bil še dete; govoril ji je o svojem poklicu in nadi, da se vrne čez dobrih šest mesecev z obnovljeno silo v mesto na delo. Lin-i da mu je pa pripovedovala, ka-I ko je prišla semkaj, in o svojem j POMLADNA VRTNA DELA i Nadaljevanje s 1. £traIU) zgodnjo solato berivko,k * in zelje za presaditev« : žil j za zgodnjo porabo.
