Naslov: Ameriška Domovina 6117 St. Clair Ave. Cleveland 3, O. se sem bral zadnje te,dne, ko sem imel dosti časa, in sem se mnogo mnogo naučil. In ravno ko sem vse to preštudiral, so prišli mogočni možje predme in mi namignili, da bom moral podpisati neki sporazum, ki.ustanavlja v Jugoslaviji čisto novo, pa zraven tega še komunistično diktaturo. Povem Vam odkrito, da sem bil dozdaj sam precej vnet za diktature. Saj sem tudi sam Srb in celo sin znanega Vam Aleksandra. Da nisem bral Vaših spisov, skoraj gotovo bi bil podpisal. Zdaj sem pa čisto drugačnega mnenja. Vidite, če priznam Titovo diktaturo, potem moram priznati še vse mogoče druge diktature. Saj sem iz Vaših spisov spoznal, da je ena diktatura drugi podobna. Jaz sem se pa zdaj zelo ogrel za demokracijo, odkar sem bral Vaše spise. Moja logika mi pravi ,da če podpišem Titovo diktaturo, potem tudi čez Hitlerjevo ni vredno kaj reči, kaj šele da bi zavidal kakemu Paveliču! Iz Vaših spisov sem spoznal resnico, da če ima eden pravico biti diktator, ima enako pravico kak drug, ki mu je sreča mila. Prav na tihem Vam sicer priznam, da me še vedno mika, da bi bil jaz sam kdaj diktator. Ampak zdaj sem iz dveh razlogov to misel opustil Prvič zato, ker sem bral Vaše spise, drugič pa zato, ker bom zdaj sploh odstavljen, to se razume. Torej ne bo z mojo dik taturo nič. Toliko me pa vendar v dnu srca draži ,da Titove diktature ne bom podpisal. Ce ne morem biti sam diktator ,tudi Titu ne privoščim. Nak, tega pa ne. Zdaj sem se Vam razodel. Zdaj veste, da sem od tega dne naprej tudi jaz tako razvnet za demokracijo kakor ste Vi. Zato sem se odločil, da pridem v Ame. riko in stopim v Vašo osebno službo. Kar je bilo kdaj med nama narobe ,to bova vse lepo po zabila.

LONDON, 19. jan. — Premier Stalin je daries naznanil, da so ruske čete zasedle Lodz, drugo najvelje poljsko mesto. Ruske čete so danes napredovale vzdolž vse fronte, zasedle Krakow ter prodrle 30 milj daleč v Vzhodno Prusijo. Lodz so zasedle kozaške in sibirske konjeniške čete. Mesto leži 70 milj zapadno od Warša-we in od tam je do Berlina še 250 milj. V Budimpešti se je nemška garnizija umaknila na zapadni breg Donave in vse mesto bo vsak čas v ruskih rokah. Krdkow, starodavna prestolnica poljskih kraljev, leži 47 milj od šlezije. S padcem Krakowa je porušena glavna nemška obrambna lini j a pred šlezijo, kjer je velika nemška industrija. Stalin je ukazal izstreliti v proslavo teh zmag po 24 salv iz 324'topov v Moskvi. Zapadno od Waršawe je rusko poveljstvo pognalo v boj konjenico, ki je v dveh dneh napredovala 70 milj v nemške pozicije. Berlin priznava, da je odšlo nemško prebivalstvo iz več mest ob meji v notranjost dežele. S padcem Krakowa in Locfei so začeli Rusi z glavno ofenzivo na Berlin. Konico ruske fronte tvori kozaška in sibirska konje-niac, ki drvi preko zasneženih poljskih planjav kot veter. Nemci nimajo nobenega pripravnega prostora, da bi se uspešno branili pred šlezijo. Pfc.

Svete, sin Mr in Mrs. Godimich, 6517 Bonna PARIZ, 19. jan. — Nemci so danes udarili z večjo silo nad Strassbourgom v solidni fronti proti 7. ameriški armadi. Zavezniški glavni frtain priznava, da je položaj tukaj precej resen. Na to fronto vsipljejo Nernci vedno nove rezerve preko Rene vse od Strassbourga do Karlsruhe. Na fronti 3. ameriške armade so izbruhnili novi boji. General Patton je tukaj na novem pohodu v Siegfried linijo. Danes je napredoval Patton za dve milji. Prva ameriška armada pa pritiska na St. Vith, ki je zadnje belgijsko mesto, ki je še v nemških rokah. Vsak čas se pričakuje, da bodo zavezniki na zapadni fronti udarili z vso silo na nacije, katere zdaj stiska na vzhodni fronti Rusija. Tega navala Nemci ne bodo mogli vzdržati, vsaj dolgo ne. >!< * * LUZON, 19. jan. — Ameriški tanki in oklepni možnarji so v boju, ki je trajal 24 ur, štrli japonski odpor ter zavzeli mesto Udaneta na Luzonu. To je bil prvi večji boj od časa invazije na otok. S tem je odprta ameriškim Četam glavna cesta proti Manili. Druga ameriška kolona, ki operira 20 milj južno, pa pritiska na mesto Tarlac, ki leži 70 milj od Manile. -o- Jetniki pomiloščeni za vojaško službo IZ BOJNE FRONTE (Sobota 20. januarja) RUSIJA — Ruske armade so danes zjutraj na dveh krajih napadle mejo šlezije in sicer prav tam, kjer so Nemci leta 1939 vdrli v Poljsko in začeli 2. svetovno vojno. Od te najnovejše točke imajo Rusi samo 225 milj še do Berlina. ZAPADNA FRONTA — Ame-rikanci so vrgli nacije nazaj čez reko Zorn nad Strassbourgom.

Ohio, under the Act of March 3rd. 1879. No. 16 Sat. Jan. 20, 1945 Dve Rusiji Stari Kerensky se je spet oglasil. On je tisti ruski revolucionar, ki je spodnesel ruski carizem ,ki pa se je moral kmalu umkaniti bolj radikalnim boljševikom. Ostal je tudi v pregnanstvu stari Rus, poln ljubezni do svoje domače zemlje, toda obenem tudi poln sovraštva do komunizma, ki je Rusijo spremenil v totalitarno državo, kjer za posameznika ni svobode in mišljenja. Sedaj se je Kerensky spet oglasil. Predaval je v New Yorku o Rusiji in Atlantskem čarterju. Radi tega govora sp je vnela po listih diskuzija, kjer je imel Kerensky priložnost povedati, da je on z vso dušo za.,zmago Rusije v tej vojni, da pa ga silno boli, ker je njegova domovina v krempljih komunistične diktature. Vojni cilji, ki jih je proglasila Rusija, ko jo je Hitler napadel — pravi Kerensky — so obramba domovine. Ta vojska je označena kot "druga patriotična vojska." Prvo je dobila Rusija, ko se je branila pred Napoleonom leta 1812, druga je sedanja, ko se brani pred Hitlerjem. Rusija hoče med narodi prostor, ki ji gre v soglasju z njeno prošlostjo in v skladu z njenimi koristmi in njenem pomenu v svetu. Te vojne cilje sedanje Rusije — misli Kerensky — mora podpirati vsak dober Rus brez ozira na njegovo politično mišljenje. Na drugi strani pa pravi: "Ne smemo se varati: Brez obnove svobode in demokracije v Rusiji ne bo na svetu demokratičnega in miroljubnega reda." Zato on zagovarja zaščito človeške svobode v vseh deželah.. Kerensky ni sicer nič novega povedal, vendar je dobro, da je spet enkrat poudarjeno, da moramo ločiti dve Rusiji: državo ruskega ljudstva na eni strani, komunistično orga nizacijo na drugi strani. Ta ločitev je važna, ker mnogi danes to dvoje mešajo in nočejo razločevati Rusa od komunista. Nekateri delajo to namenoma. Tem je vsaka ruska zmaga tudi zmaga komunizma. Ravnq tisti, ki jim je za Ruse sicer najmanj, so dostikrat najbolj navdušeni za ruske uspehe, ker mislijo, da bodo ruski udarci proti nacizmu pri nesli obenem polno zmago komunizmu. Zato pozdravljajo Ruse, a samo kot komuniste. Mnogi pa se seveda sučejo kot petelin na strehi po vetru propagande. Pišejo in govore kot je naročeno. Taki seveda tudi ne razločujejo med dvema Rusijama. Danes so za oboje, za Rusijo in komuni zem, jutri bodo proti obojemu. Če je že za druge važno poudariti, da morajo znati raz ločevati, kadar govore o Rusiji, potem je to tem važneje za nas Slovence. Slovenci in Rusi pripadamo skupini slovanskih narodov. To je prvo. Drugo pa je, da bodo imeli Rusi v vsakem slučaju močan vpliv na Jugoslavijo in s tem na Slovence — zlasti po tej vojni. Pravimo — v vsakem slučaju! Ruski vpliv bo velik na Balkanu, naj bo dober ali slab, in Slovenci so najbližji sosedi. Rusija je tedaj za nas najprej slovanska država. Tam žive ljudje, ki so po izvoru in po jeziku nam sorodni. Ko so prišli v zadnji svetovni vojni slovenski fantje v rusko ujetništvo, so takoj čutili, da so prišli med ljudi, ki so jim sorodni. Hitro so razumeli rusko govorico in kmalu so se navadili na ruske razmere. Ti vojni ujetniki so po večini — ne rečemo vsi — razumeli, da je slovanstvo ena velika družina sorodnih narodov. Izobraženi so seveda to čutili že davno prej. Ruska knjiga je širila svoj ruski vpliv povsod, kjer so prebivali slovanski rodovi. Nekaj malega je bifo tudi takih, ki so si zamišljali celo politične zveze z ruskim narodom. Imenovali so jih panslaviste. Bilo pa je to politično gibanje malo pomembno. Tej državi'ruskega slovanskega naroda želimo torej, da iz te vojske izide močna in da se po vojski tako razvija kot pristoja njenemu pomenu. Nespametno pa bi bilo, če bi hoteli sanjariti o bratski slovanski Rusiji, zraven pa bi po-zabljaji ,da morajo Slovenci sami vse storiti za svojo boljšo bodočnost. Ljubezen do slovenske Rusije je torej lepa stvar. Toda niti trenutek ne smemo pozabiti, da se iz današnje Rusije širi najbolj strupena komunistična propaganda po vsem svetu. Ta komunizem ogroža tudi svobodo in demokracijo našega malega slovenskega naroda-tam doma. Komunizem jc zasužnjil ruski narod. Resnični ruski narod ne pride do nobene besede. Komunistična stranka, ki je štela pred vojsko dober milijon vpisanih članov, ustrahuje vse prebivalstvo ogromne Rusije. Najmogočnejši med temi člani ni niti Rus, namreč diktator Stalin. Ni torej vse dobro, kar pride iz Rusije. Prazno bi bilo, če bi zakrivali oči pred trdo resnico, da hoče ta oficiclna Rusija kot je danes spraviti pod komunistično diktaturo ves Balkan in velik del Srednje Evrope in da so pri tem tudi Slovenci v nevarnosti. Tega žalostnega dejstva ne izbriše nobeno navdušenje za slovanske r.uske brale. Rusi nam s Svojimi zmagami mogočno pamagajo proti Nemcem, toda radi tega komunistična nevarnost za naš na^ rod ni nič manjša. Kadar tedaj govorimo o Rusiji, dobro ločimo dvoje: Ruski narod, ki sam ječi pod tiranstvom tujca Stajina ter njegove klike, pa se danes kljub temu junaško bije za obrambo svoje zemlje — in pa komunizem, ki zanaša v svet propagando iz Rusije. Pri tem ne pozabim1?), da komunisti naravnost hočejo zmedo pojmov. Njih propaganda rada imenuje ruske zmage — zmage komunizma. S temi zmagami hočejo dokazati moč in notranjo vrednost komunističnega sistema. Mi pa dobro vemo, da se Rus dobro vojskuje, ker brani svojo zemljo, ne iz navdušenja za komunistične ideje. Pride pa seveda čas, ko bo konec komunizma kot je enkrat konec vsake zmote. Upamo, da prav ta vojska pomeni tudi začetek konca za ruski boljševizem. Rus, ki se je vojskoval za svojo domovino, ne bo hotel biti več hlapec ruske moskovske klike. Ne pridejo te spremembe hitro, pridejo pa gotovo. Takrat bo ruski narod spet res svoboden, takrat pride do boljše bodočnosti vseh slovanskih narodov. BESEDA IZ NARODA Ob svežem grobu Danes je 17. januarja — od jezera Erie hladno vleče severnjak in se poigrava nad plastjo snega — nebo ga je dalo — obleklo je naravo v belo tenči-co in skozi to prelepo čudo so se utrinjali sončni žarki, ki so blagoslavljali mater zemljo. Bilo je krasno jutro, najlepše, kar nam jih je še tekoče leto dalo. Čemu danes to pišem, ko je bilo pred tem milj one lepih dnevov — tudi vetrovi so blagodejno veli od severa, juga vzhoda in zahoda — tudi sonce je ogrevalo naravo in tisoč čustvenih misli je vstajalo v naših srcih. Res mogoče, bilo je to jutro in dan enoličen drugim, ne pa onim, ki so zgubili najdražje — ljubo soprogo, drago in ljubečo mater — zaklad, ki se nikoli več ne povrne. Tužnega srca in s solzo na očesu smo jo izročili v naročje materi zemlji, da siliva mir božji v tovarišiji stotisočev, ki so pred njo odšli v večnost. Novica "Johana Debevec je umrla" je bila težko sprejemljiva — tužna in v srce skeleča. Kdor je poznal to blago ženo, vzorno mater in svoji družini neprecenljivo gospodinjo ni mogel drugače, da je v njen blag spomin povesil glavo in iz dna srca želel '"Spočij se v miru." Pokojna ni bila ena tistih, ki bi verjela v šumnost sveta — zavedala se je in globoko v svojem srcu čutila, kakor hitro je darovala življenje svojemu prvemu otroku, da je in hoče ostati MATI po volji družine in svete zapovedi. Dala je življenje šestorici, štirim sinovom in dvema hčerkama — ni jim dala samo golo življenje — dala jih je vse, kar le dobra mati premore—najboljšo vzgojo in zlate nauke — poklonila jim je najdražji zaklad MATERINSKO SRCE IN LJUBEZEN. Čutila se je med srečnimi najsrečnejšo, če je videla zdravje v družini — soprog in otroci so ji bili bogastvo, katero bi se dalo odkupiti le z njenim življenjem. V prepričanju in trdni veri clo Onega, ki ji je življenje dal in odvzel, je usmir-jalja pota sebi in družini malo da ne bo dneva njenih zadnjih trenutkov. Bila je v duhu plemenita in v vzgoji družine vzorna mati, katerih današnji in moderni svet le malo ima. Žal prezgodaj in veliko prera-no se je ločila od svoje družine in se preselila k večnem počitku na božjo njivo. Ob krsti je bilo nebroj vencev — tisočere cvetke so ji krasile prostor zadnjega zemeljskega od počitka, stotine prijateljskih družin je prišlo po slovo h krsti, skoro slednji je zmo-lil "Očenaš" za njeno blago dušo in od žalosti povesil glavo v znak globokega spoštovanja. Vsa družinica je čula ob njej— kramljala bi rada — vprašala mamo to in ono — vsi bi radi slišali še poslednji glas drage mame in ljube soproge, a njen glas je utonil v neskončnosti, nebo je sprejelo z življenjem vse. Tudi šestletni Jimmy je čul ob krsti drage mame, oh kako bi jo še on potreboval, komaj je spoznal njeno ljubezen,, pa jo je za vedno izgubil. Ubo-šček, jokal je ob njeni krsti, klical njeno ime, neutažljivo ihtel — draga mamica je ostala nema — iz neba je zrla nanj in mu v duhu otirala solze in gladila nedolžno glavico. Tudi vnaprej bo v duhu živela pri njem, mu nudila po noči kozarček sveže vode in tudi odejco mu bo pritegnila, da ga ne bo zeblo. Tudi vnaprej ga bo čuvala nesreče in nevarnosti — materina ljubezen sega preko groba. Tam v božjem hramu so med mašo pristopili k božji mizi hčere, sinovi, brat in sestre, da darujejo svete zakramente za po-kojnico — bila je tudi pokojna z njimi, saj vendar je bila v njen pokoj darovana sveta maša in zemeljski ostanki so ležali ob naši strani, ki smo jo k zadnjem počitku spremljali — bila je pred oltarjem, kjer se je darovala zadušnica. Nje grob stoji na Kalvariji na zvišanem prostoru, obrnjen proti sončnemu vzhodu — kakor nalašč, vsako jutro jo bodo pozdravili prvi sončni žarki, kateri ji bodo nosili ljubeče pozdrave od1 žalujoče družine in nas, ki smo jo vsled njenega blagega srca in plemenitega materinstva globoko spoštovali. Ob tej priliki naj prizadeta družina sprejme nas vseh prijateljev posebno od moje družine globoko sožalje v iskreni želji naj mirno, sniva spanje večnega miru. Joško Penko. Pridite na delniško zborovanje Vprašanje je, koliko boš TI in' koliko bom JAZ k temu pripo-j mogel. Frank Walter, tajnik S. D. Direktorij Slovenskega doma na Holmes Ave. je določil, da se vrši letno delnikšo zborovanje v nedeljo 21. januarja točno ob 1 uri popoldne v prostorih do ma. Vljudno so vabljeni delničarji in delničarke ter zastopniki delniških društev, da se tega zborovanja gotovo udeleže. Ni moj namen, da bi beležil bilančne postavke, ampak je vsakega delničarja dolžnost, da pride na delniško zborovanje, da bo tam prejel tiskano letno poročilo in prečital uspehe in neuspehe minulega leta. Kdor ne bo kaj razumel, naj vpraša ,ker dolžnost direktorija je, da vse pojasni, kar je, nejasnega ali po. grešenega. Razumeti moramo, da je delniška seja tisti prostor, kjer se lahko spremeni administracija, naroči novemu direktorij u, kako ima poslovati in napravi sklepe, ki bodo korporaciji v korist. Volilo se bo v smislu sedaj obstoječih pravil, deset novih direktorjev, pet za dve leti in pet za eno leto. Kandidirati ima pravico vsak delničar ali delničarka, ki je dosegel 21. leto starosti. Ob tej priliki se v imenu kor-poracije toplo zahvaljujem vsem onim, ki so v minulem letu tesno stali ob strani korporacije in svojo finančno in moralno pomočjo pripomogli do nepričakovano dobrega uspeha. Končno toplo apeliram na delničarje korporacije, da se v nedeljo gotovo udeleže letnega zborovanja, da s tem dokažejo, daj jim je narodna ustanova globo-j ko pri srcu. ae Bog da in sreča! junaška, čez par let bomo na let-' nem zborovanju sklepali, kako] in v kakšni višini bomo divi-dente izplačevali, še tri ali štiri dobre sunke napravimo in zgrad.' ba bo popolna last delničarjev. Zaobljuba proti stavkam Članstvo UAW-CIO bo imelo sedaj priliko voliti proti Vsakim stavkam, dokler traja vojna in dokler ne dosežemo zmage in tako zaželjenega miru celega sveta. Rezultat tega referenduma je določiti vodstvo v vojnem času te velike unije. Ker od tega je odvisna bodočnost ameriškega delavstva. Poleg tega odločitev članstva UAW-CIO, bo v velikem obsegu odločila ako se bo vojna proti Nemcem in Japoncem končala v letu 1945. UAW-CIO s 1,300,000 članstva je tako velika, da v odločitvi in vodstvu ne more pasti, ker ima temeljiti učinek vsega delavstva in naroda v celoti. Zato je zelo važno, da članstvo dobro in globoko" premisli, da voli pametno proti vsakim stavkam. Tu ni nobenega dvoma, da so UAW-CIO delavci sijajno sodelovali za rekordni uspeh ameriške vojne produkcije, in s tem zadali udarec, ki je korist za ameriško delavstvo. Prosta in močna delavska organizacija, katera lahko zavaruje koristi svojega članstva, bo lahko eksistirala, samo če se fašizma in nacizma popolnoma iznebi. Zato so unij ski voditelji vedno smatrali NO STRIKE obljubo za delavsko orožje, ono ki pospevši vojni material, kateri uničuje sovražnike. NO STRIKE obljuba in rezultat vojne produkcije je pospešil spoštovanje celotne publike.. Nadalje, NO STRIKE obljuba je združila vojaštvo in delavstvo v velik bojujoč oddelek. Kljub težkočam, ne vidim kako bi mogli UAW-CIO člani voliti drugače kakor za NO STRIKE obljubo. Imamo nasprotnike V UAW-CIO, ki pravijo, da bo večina članstva volilo za stavke. Ti ljudje ne pomislijo, da se nahajamo v vojnem času, še vedno hočejo nadaljevati z divjimi stavkami, med tem ko se naši fantje borijo in umirajo na bojnih poljanah za nas—za našo demokracijo. • Vsi člani UAW-CIO boste dobili po pošti volilnico. Volite in naredite križ kjer pravi NO STRIKE PLEDGE S tem boste pomagali, da se vaši fantje čimprej vrnejo na svoje domove. Anna Urbas, UAW-CIO članica. France z Brazil Rd. pripoveduje Zimski večeri ,dolgi večeri, zeha in toži marsikateri, če ni drugega pa tole vzemite in lepo počasi berite morda vam bo kaj pomagalo in dolgčas pregnalo. V starem kraju smo ob zimskih večerih posedali krog peči na gorskem in stari očanci so pripovedovali razne pravljice in povesti, nekatere smešne in pa tudi take, da so nam otrokom vzdignele lase na glavi. Sedaj slišimo dovolj groznih vesti vsak dan, zato sem se namenil, da kaj bolj veselega povedal, če bo le čitateljem všeč, če pa ne bom pa molčal za naprej. V neki vasi so se pripravljali da bodo obhajali god svojega domačega patrona, ali kakor smo rekli doma — pripravljali so se na žegnanje, kar je seveda velik praznik za dotično vas. Vaščani so bili zelo ponosni na svojega patrona in Bog ne daj, da bi kdo kaj slabega rekel čes njega. Tako so domači gospod župnik naročili cerkovniku ali mežnar-ju, naj gotovo poskrbi, da bo za v nedeljo prav gotovo vse čisto v cerkvi in posebrto pa mora poskrbeti, da bo vaški patron lep in da ne bo kakšnega godrnjanja v nedeljo ,češ, da smo leni in da' nič ne naredimo za cerkev . Mežnar si je dobro zapomnil besede gospoda župnika in se takoj podal na delo. Pometal in omival je na desno in levo. Ko pa pride na vrsto farni patron, katerega kip je bil lesen, je mežnar še posebno skrbel, da bo ja naročilo točno izvršil. Ko tako čisti kip, opazi, da je jako črviv in puhel. Ko ga pa le nekoliko bolj drgne, pa se mu sesuje na tla. Jo j, kaj pa sedaj in do nedelje je še samo dva dni in svetnika pa nikjer. Ves preplašen in zaskrbljen ger k gospodu župniku in mu potoži, kaj se je zgodilo, župnik pa pravi: no, lepo reč si naredil, kje naj sedaj dobimo drugega svetnika za v nedeljo. Mežnar zvita buča pa jo takoj ugane in reče: Veste kaj gospod, pod vasjo taborijo cigani, sem jih včeraj videl in eden je med njimi ,ki je našemu svetniku na las podoben ,kaj ko bi njega dobili za v nedeljo za par ur. župnik mu ukaže, da naj tako stopi k ciganov in pripelje dotičnega, ki je podoben vaškemu patronu k njemu, da se bosta pogovorila kako in kaj. Tako pride cigan k župniku, ki ga vpraša, če bi šel on v nedeljo za par ur na mesto vaškega svetnika. Kaj bom pa delal, vpraša cigan in koliko časa? Nič ne boš delal, samo prav mirno boš stal in prav mirno tam gori sedem ali osem ur. Malo dolgo bo, pa nič ne de, če dobro plačate, reče cigan. Plačali ti bomo prav dobro, kajti vaščani ne smejo biti na tako važen dan brez svetnika, je bil župnikov odgovor. Ko so v nedeljo ob osmi uri odprli cerkev, je bil "svetnik" že na svojem mestu in. pa kako se je modro držal. Seveda maša se pričela šele ob desetih, a cerkev je morala biti že prej odprta, da se gredo ljudje priporočit in prosit raznih milosti. Tako pride neka ženska pred oltar k svetniku in začne: ti lump ciganski, ti nisi noben svetnik, ker nič ne zmoreš in ne-češ storiti za kar te prosim, že lansko leto sem te prosila ,da bi ongav Janez našo Špelko vzel, pa je šel ta grdun in pobral onga-go Rezo. Vidiš, to je vse tvoja krivda, ti grdun ti grdi. Saj sem ti bila obljubila lepo nagrado, če me boš uslišal, če ne ti bom pa pele na nogi odgriznila in to bom pa sedaj naredila. Ravno v tistem trenutku pa prileti muha in se vsede svetniku na nos. Svetnik malo mrdne z nosom, da bi pregnal muho, kajti z roko ni mogel ali bolje ni smel ganiti, ženica pa pravi: kaj boš z nosom mrdal, aha se bojiš za svoj palec, prav ti bodi. ženica se pa približa svetniku in ravno prav je dosegla z ustmi do palca, zine — stisne dobro, da je reklo hrst. Cigan-svetnik brcne ženico v zobe in zakriči od bolečin, ženica se je zgrudila od straha na tla,' svetnik pa skoči čez njo in kričeč po cerkvi beži na prosto . . . V cerkvi je bilo že nekaj ljudi, ki so začudeno gledali, kaj naj bi bila to*za ena štrapenga božja, da jim jo je svetnik popihal ravno pred mašo. Udrli so iz cerkve za bežečim svetnikom. Zunaj stoječi so tudi začudeni gledali ,kaj naj vse to pomeni, pa jim ti povedo, da je najbolje, da gredo vsi skupaj na lov za domačim svetnikom, ki jo je ravnokar popihal iz cerkve. Kaaaajjj ... je šlo vprašanje, svetnik jo je popihal? In že so ga ugledali, ko je bežal doli za vasjo. Seveda pred cerkvijo je bilo že več ljudi tudi iz sosednjih vasi, ki pa so bili vsi pripravljeni, da gredo na lov za svetnikom. Domačini pa so jim to zabrani-li, češ, našega svetnika bomo že sami ujeli, saj.vasfoiiseše ustrašil, ker vas ne pozna. Oni drugi pa pravijo, dobro, ampa naš svetnik ušel, vaW"i ne bomo pustili, da -h. .teža: Domačini so tekli svetnikom, ki pa jim jf^I DNE izginil izpred oči, da žL . . gli najti, žalostni se|e 11 gredo k gospodu župcf 1 1 c povedo žalostno noVficflfl § svetnik ušel iz oltarL jih zaskrbljen vprafj.

Mary's Weekly Flashes THRILL OF.MONOTONY encounter Tuesday, same place, same liie Christian finds a thrill in mo- limousine (streetcar), only a different notony and repetition because he has fixed goal. Once we admit a purpose in life, we can tend each and every one of our acts toward that point or goal. We Christians have a fixed goal, namely, to make our life more and more Christlike. Therefore we are always bound to have a great advantage over the modern pagan, simply because we know where we are going. However, the modern pagan does not know what his destination is. The true Christian will always be an optimist, for he knows that this life is long enough to give one chance for eternity. That is why a Christian can be joyful. To insure ourselves of even greater joy and happiness in heaven, we ought to consecrate each prayer, work and pain to God's glory at our awakening. This can be done best, by the recitation of the "Morning offering" of the apostleship of Prayer. Form a habit of saying the following prayer each morning on rising then, no useful good work will go without recognition to heaven. MORNING OFFERING O, Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my prayers, works and sufferings of this day, for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all our Associates, and for the general intentions recommended this month.

Stan, alias Stringbean, alias Beanpole, alias Air Mail, etc., etc. If Dot Pizmoht made as many strikes in playing baseball, as she does in bowling, the bench would be awfully warm. What happened on the other four alleys, it was unusually quiet, no doubt everyone was concentrating on his game. It's nice to have Vince Fortuna with us yet, even though its lust for a short time. With the meat shortage the way it is, it looks like Vera Humar isn't going to make many strikes. Ernie didn't have any hot dogs and she simply can't bowl without eating one first.

Pierce, E. Rakar, D. McDonough as forwards; A. Svigei, B. Pizmoht, D. Kapel, Georgia Bilek, T. Stradjot, as the guards. Everyone had a chance to show their ability. A. Pierce con-nced us that she doesn't need glasses. every shot was a ringer. (Good ork, Anne.) E. Rakar and D. Mac. really have a good click on the floor. (So was the ball.) Dolly really deserves credit, she has been playing guard for more than two years and " as recently changed to forward and i one night she chalks up 10 points. That girl is going places for herself and St. Mary's, too. Keep up the good work, Dolly. If all of our opponents are as nice as St. Lawrence, it will actually be a pleasure to play. The result of Tuesday's Victory was due to the hard work put in by the players. All the games won't be as easy as this one, and coach Stan is making sure the girls are in shape for next week.

Us girls can sure pull those averages up when we get started. And some of us sure have a mean ball.

Here's to the Baraga Gtee lassies who for the past two rehearsals have braved the cold of Tuesday nights, and stood patiently outside the school building, their minds set on having as fine a rehearsal as could be arranged. What could be in store at present? ? ? With this the first month in the New Year, plans are soon to turn to realities. One of the first, already underway is the following. The Cleveland Talent Poll have called upon the various nationality groups to present scenes of their own fatherland, which will be enacted on a program set for a later date. The lassies in this regard, have therefore, had the honor of joining with the Slovene radio quartet, in presenting one of the loveliest scenes ever, and this being the Slovene Wedding. That is why the songs "Slovenska Dekle," "Dekle na vrtu" and "Oj ljubca moja," ring through the hall time and time again, as all strive to make this one of the most beautiful scenes, amongst the nationalities, live on through the ages. Picturesque will be the setting placed, as it will be portrayed by the follow ing: Our own young couple of five months, Mr. and Mrs. Ursula (Rakar) Vovko, will act as bride and groom. Maid of honor and bridesmaid respectively will be Dimples Virant and Curly Jo. Best man and usher will be Freddy Merhar and Ray Golobic. Acting as parents to the married couple will be the parents of two of our members. The lassies dressed in Slovene costume will afford a background ,to the rich and melodious voices of our Slovene Radio Quartet. The girls will also present the Slovenian dance, and intermingled Slovenian dancing, with couples made up of the Junior Holy Name, who will also dress in Slovene costume. Music for the occasion will be presented by our director, El, and Matt Mlinar and his accordion. As in the past we must make every effort to make this as great a success as ever, and with willingness to work, we will succeed. This is but one of our coming attractions, as next on the list is the glee club's pre-Lenten affair, more details of which will be given in the near future. With the above programs So close at hand, each and every member is asked to attend rehearsals this coming Tuesday, as other important discus- » sions will also be held. Remember 'we'll meet again"? ? ? 'DON'T FENCE ME IN"' Enjoying all the freedom I possibly can this is what was seen at the past rehearsals: The lassies coming down wholly unaware of having to practice the Slovenian dance. It was cold out, gals, so the following was overlooked: Skirts worn with slacks, some gals with three sweaters, and our own Tommy Tome wearing bedroom slippers, but she wore her boots with them. We certainly envied her. Our first rehearsal with the other nationality groups, held at the Ukran-iijii Hall. Bernie Sajovec, doesn't believe in icy walks, ask her sister, Mary. Rosie Bavec, wearing the latest hair clasp of three pennies. Larry Per entertaining friends . . . should I tell whom? ? ? Terry Gruden just as jolly as ever. Julia Godic acting as assistant librarian of late. - Mary Mezic and Mary Yartz will "always be there, together." If nothing more the lassies down just won't forget the quartet's harmonious medley of "Oj ljubca mpja." Now don't think that you've been forgotten in this column as your's truly has "one more chance." HI. NEIGHBOR Congratulations and the best of luck in the return performance of the Junior Holy Name "Variety Re\&ue." Here's to the fellows who made everyone just as gay as ever, and truthfully made all "Pack up their troubles, and smile," with a stow long to be remembered. Words cannot express the splendid talents brought forth in your show. It was grand having groups from St. Laurences and St. Mary's join us. Won't you do so again in the very near future? Congratulations to your Moderator, Father Baraga. To those - who were unable to attend. we say, come down this coming Sunday, January 21, for an evening full of laughter and song. You'll agree, that this will be one show long to be remembered. So heifc's to you fellows, you did it once and we're certain "you'll do it again." -o- King Carol of Rumania was explaining to an American friend how his government once selected fourteen of its most intelligent young men for training in the diplomatic service. Seven were dispatched to England, and seven to America, to study the economic and political systems. "The seven who went to England were very smart," said Carol. "They studied hard and returned to take up important positions in our government." "And what about the seven who wore sent to America?" Carol was asked. "Oh," said Carol, "they were even smarter. They stayed there." * # * Dinah Shore says that while she was in France entertaining the GI's, she was entertained at mess one evening by some officers and the piece de resistance was steak and it was very tough.
