PROBLEMI PRISELJENCU
Vprašanje: V svoji stroki po trebujem licenco, katera pa se izdaja le ameriškim državljanom. Prišel sem nezakonito v Ameriko meseca februarja 1924. Ali ni bil sprejet zakon, ki bo dovolil naturalizacijo inozem-cev, ki so prišli brez vize pred koncem junija 1924?
Odgovor: Taka določba je vključena v zakonski predlog, zvan Dies bill, ki je bil sprejet od House of Representatives in je sedaj na dnevnem redu v senatu. Mi upamo, da bo sprejet še v tem zasedanju kongresa. Čim postane zakon, boste v stanu legalizirati svoje bivanje in zaprositi za svoj “prvi papir”.
Vprašanje: Nameravam obiskati neke sorodnike v Canadi. Imam identifikacijsko spričevalo, ki sem ga dobil od priseljeniške oblasti ob svojem prihodu v to deželo, svoj starokrajski potni list in svoj “prvi papir”, kar sem dobil pred letom dni. Ali mi je treba priskrbeti si tudi takozvani permit?
Odgovor: Z vsemi onimi dokumenti, ki jih imate s seboj, ni vam treba permita—pod pogojem, da ne nameravate ostati v Canadi več kot šest mesecev.
v ,
Vprašanje:	Vstopil	sem	v
Združene države z dijaško vizo, ki poteče to poletje. Pred par meseci sem se poročil z ameriškim dekletom. Rekli so mi, da : vsled njene prošnje bi mogel ostati tukaj na tak način, da bi šel v Canado in se takoj povrnil s priseljeniško vizo. Kake dokumente mi je treba v £o svrho?
Odgovor: Veljaven inozemski pasport, poročni list, rojstni list in policijski izkaz dobrega obnašanja so poglavitni dokumenti, da se predložijo ameriškemu konzulu v Canadi v svr-, ho priseljeniške vize.
Vprašanje:	Prišel sem v
Združene države 1. 1888, ko ni bilo vseh teh omejitev. L. 1895 ali 1906 dobil sem “prvi papir”, ki sem ga zgubil. Sedaj, ko sem zopet zaprosil za nov “prvi papir”, mi pravijo, da ne morejo najti zapisa o mojem legalnem prihodu in zato ne morem jaz, ki sem 69 let star, dobiti starostne pokojnine. Kaj naj storim?
Odgovor: Zavoljo “prvega papirja” zadostuje, da morete dokazati, da ste živeli v Združenih državah neprenehoma vsaj od 29. junija 1906. Da to dokažete, bi vam pomagalo, ako imate kake stare davčne pobotnice, bančne knjižice, stara pisma ali vsako drugo listino, ki bi dokazala, da stanujete v Združenih državah od vsaj 29. junija 1906 naprej. Ako takih dokazil ni na razpolago, se dostikrat sprejema kot dokazilo tudi zaprisežena izjava prijateljev, delodajalcev itd., ki so vas poznali v tej deželi pred 1. 1906. t Vprašanje:	Prišel	sem v
[ Združene države kot mornar 1.
1918, ali sem bil tudi nadalje L zaposlen kot mornar na brodi] ameriških ladij, katere so tu-> patam tudi pristajale v inozem-. skih lukah. Od 1. 1922 napre;
. pa sem bil zaposlen le na ladi-jah, ki plovejo ob ameriški o-bali. Od začetka 1. 1924 pa sem zaposlen na kopnem. Vprašanje . je sedaj: ali smem iskati lega-- lizacijo svojega bivanja na pod-p lagi svojega prvega prihoda v 1. 1918 ali pa moram pokazati svoj zadnji povratek iz inozem-(Dalje na 2. strani)
RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
KONGRES NA POČITNICAH Kongres Zedinjenih držav je preteklo soboto zaključil zasedanje, ki je trajalo od meseca januarja. Prihodnje redno zasedanje se začne v januarju 1938. Mogoče pa je, da bo predsednik Roosevelt sklical kongres k izrednemu zasedanju v jeseni, da reši gotove važne zadeve, ki'so : v pravkar zaključenem zaseda- i nju ostale nerešene.
-	j
ŽRTVE POŽARA V gozdni rezervaciji Shosho- : ne v severozapadnem delu drža- : ve Wyoming je konci preteklega tedna divjal silen požar, ki je ; uničil okrog dva tisoč akrov gozda.Nad 700 mož, po večini osobje iz CCC kemp, se je borilo s po- : žarom tri dni, predno ga je bilo mogoče lokalizirati. V ognju je izgubilo življenje 12 oseb in nad 40 jih je bilo zaradi opeklin poslanih v bolnišnice. Pokrajina, kjer je divjal gozdni požar, je divja in nenaseljena in so žrtve požara postali le gasilci in nekateri zaposlenci gozdne rezervacije.
NOV SODNIK Za izpraznjeno mesto v najvišjem zveznem sodišču, ki je nastalo, ko je sčdnik Van De-vanter stopil v pokoj, je predsednik Roosevelt imenoval Hugo L. Blacky, zveznega senatorja iz Alabame. Hugo Black je znan kot liberalec m iskren zagovornik New Deala, zato so konservativci vsled njegovega imenovanja zagnali velik krik. Zvezni senat pa je njegovo imenovanje vseeno potrdil s 63 glasovi proti 16.
POMAKNI SE VIŠE Tudi v poličnem življenju dežele'pride včasi v poštev biblijski poziv: “Prijatelj, pomakni se više!” Ko je predsednik Roosevelt imenoval in senat potrdil senatorja Hugo L. Blacka za člana najvišjega sodišča, je bilo to zanj povišanje. Kot sodnik pa se je moral odpovedati svojemu senatnemu mandatu in s tem je nastalo mesto za povišanje nekoga drugega. Po postavi Alabame sme governer imenovati začasnega senatorja. To je governer Bibb Graves upošteval in je imenoval svojo ženo Dixie Graves za senatorico. Dixie bo zavzemala visoko mesto za enkrat le začasno. V aprilu 1938 bodo volitve za senatorja, ki naj izpolni Blackovo mesto do konca termina.
VEČ DEMOKRACIJE Predsednik Roosevelt je dne 18. avgusta prisostvoval slavnosti 350-letnice, odkar je bilo ro-ijeno prvo belo dete (Virginia Dare) v Ameriki. To je bilo na Roanoke Islandu, North Carolina. Pri tisti priliki je v zanosnem govoru izjavil, da on veruje v demokracijo in v še več demokracije. Dokler bo večina odločala, bosta varni svoboda in civilizacija. Odločno se bo boril proti temu, da bi manjšina vladala večini in da bi vlada prešla v roke katerega koli razreda. Predsednikov govor se splošno smatra kot javna izjava predsednika, da s svojim bojem proti reakciji ne bo odnehal.
NEKOLIKO REGULACIJE V državi Ohio je ta mesec stopila v veljavo postava, ki do gotove meje regulira zaposlen j e oziroma delovni čas žensk in mladoletnih oseb. Delovni čas (Dalje na 2. strani)
VRTNA DELA SEZONE
V avgustu, ko je poletje tako rekoč na svojem višku, se domači vrtnarji že začnejo pripravljati na jesen in zimo. Zdaj je čas, da se preskrbimo s cvet- -licami lončaricami, ki bodo po-zimi oživljale naša okna. Mno- j ge teh cvetlic, kot na primer z geranije, fuhsije, roženkravt, t begonije in druge, so zdaj po- c sajene na vrtu, v septembru ali g oktobru pa jih je treba spet r posaditi v lončke in pred na- k stopom slane prenesti na var- c no. Starih in rogovilastih cvet- i c lic pa ni priporočljivo gojiti j preko zime; v to svrhc so mno- \ go boljše mlade rastline. Te si \ preskrbimo zdaj s tako zvanimi r potaknenci, to je vršiči teh g cvetlic, ki jih odrežemo od ma- s ternih rastlin in vtaknemo v, r zemljo, kjer poženejo korenine! in se razvijejo v samostojne mlade rastline.
Za gojitev potaknencev velja- * jo nekatera preprosta pravila. 1 Vejice ali vršički, izbrani v to ( svrho, naj bodo sočni, toda ne 1 tako mladi, da so še krhki; 1 dolgi naj bodo tri ali štiri pal- 1 ce, pa tudi več, če so členki da- 1 leč narazen; eno ali dve kolenci ■ morata priti v zemljo in - od;! istih se morajo odstraniti listi; ( nad zemljo morajo ostati trije . ali štirje členki z listi. Zemlja, 1 v katero potaknemo te potak- 1 nence, naj bo rahla in dobro po- 1 mešana z drobnim rečnim peskom. Gredica zanje se pripravi v nekoliko zasenčenem delu vrta in nekaj dni je treba po-taknence umetno senčiti in se-veda dobro zalivati. V nekaj j tednih navadno taki potaknenci j ! poženejo močne korenine in ( začnejo rasti. Pred nastopom slane naj se posadijo v primerne lončke, kjer bodo z rastjo nadaljevali. Pomniti je treba, da te mladike poženejo koreni-j1 ne samo iz členkov ali kolen-čkov, in pa, da jih je treba pod najnižjim členkom gladko prirezati z ostrim nožem.
Mnogi domači vrtnarji imajo tudi lepe uspehe z enoletnimi cvetlicami, katere posejejo na prosto v avgustu. Ko rastlinice napravijo drugo vrsto listov, jih posade v majhne lončke in pozneje v večje. Lončki ostanejo zakopani v zemljo. Ko postanejo noči hladne in se obeta slana, se take rastline prenesejo jv sobe, na verande ali v druge prostore, kjer jih hočemo imeti. Tu bodo cvetele pozno v jeseniške in zimske mesece. Enoletne cvetlice, ki so porabne v take svrhe, so: kalendula (calendula), vrtni tobak (nicotiana), enoletni ostrožnik (larkspur), cinija (zinnia), turški naglji (marigold), petunia, ageratum, kapucinarji (nasturtiums) in še nekatere druge. Pomniti je treba, da je za gojitev takih cvetlic za zimsko cvetje treba sejati lansko seme, ne letošnjega.
Za zgodnjo pomladno solato je zdaj priporočljivo posejati motovilec. Seme istega je mo-, goče kupiti v vsaki boljši se-, menski trgovini. Angleško se . ta rastlina imenuje corn salad.
1 Slovencem dobro znana in 1 priljubljena jesenska in zimska ‘ solata endivija se navadno po-
* seje na prosto že meseca julija ! in konci avgusta je že dovolj ' velika za presajanje. Presajena ; endivija navadno zraste v lepše
* in večje rastline kot nepresaje-' na. Sadi naj se približno en čevelj narazen, da ima dovolj pro-
? štora za razvoj. Kakor večina 1 drugih rastlin, ljubi tudi endi-(Dalje na 2. strani)
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
VSAK PO SVOJE
Na Daljnem Vzhodu se vrši med Kitajci in Japonci nenapovedana vojna, v kateri je padlo že tisoče vojakov in civilistov. Kljub temu pa vztrajajo Japonci pri trditvi, da tisto ni vojna. Kaj je, če ni vojna, je težko reči. Piknik tudi ni.
*
Ameriška milica pa zna napraviti piknik, sicer ne iz vojne, pač pa iz vojaških namevrov.
V gozdovih pri mestu Bourne, Mass., so se nedavno vršili manevri državne milice, toda naročeni in pričakovani napad od ene infantrijske skupine je izostal, ker so fantje našli v gozdu toliko zrelih borovnic, da so čisto pozabili na sovražnika.
*
. Neka Mrs. Holmquist, far-merica v Medefieldu, Mass., ki je stara 42 let, pravi, da si je ohranila svojo mladostno figuro in razpoloženje s tem, da vsak dan ob štirih zjutraj vstaja. Pri modernih mestnih flaperi-cah pa se seveda ta recept za ohranitev lepote ne da izvajati iz enostavnega vzroka, ker hodijo šele ob štirih zjutraj spat.

Mala balkanska monarhija Albanija je že pred meseci razpisala nagrado 120 funtov šter-lingov za narodno himno, pa je še zdaj brez nje. Albanija naj si tega ne žene preveč k srcu. Velika republika Zedinjenih držav je bila poldrugo stoletje brez uradne državne himne, pa je vseeno izhajala. Sedanja ofi-cielna himna naše republike je Star-Spangled Banner in jo je zvezni kongres za tako prokla-miral 3. marca 1931. Zložil jo je Francis Scott Key leta 1814 in se je prvič pela v neki gostilni v mestu Baltimore. Albanci bi morali vedeti, da je za razvoj dežele marsikaj drugega bolj potrebno kot državna himna.	\
*
V državi Iowi se je oni dan neko nepočakljivo dete rodilo v trailerju, kljub temu, da postava dotične države prepoveduje porode na vozilih. Ni čuda, da imamo toliko kršilcev postav v tej deželi, saj prisilimo otroke, da kršijo postave takoj ko se rodijo.
*
V mestu Pekin, 111., je neki R. A. Hodgson dobil ločitev od svoje sladke ženice, ker je bila tako ljubeznjiva, da si je nalašč pustila rasti dolge nohte na prstih nog, da ga je lahko ponoči praskala.
*
Policijska porota, v . mestu Wichita, Kans., je soglasno o» prostila nekega voznika, ki je bil obtožen pijanosti, ker je priznal, da je pil 3.2-procentno pivo. Vsi porotniki so soglašali, da niti zvrhan sod omenjenega piva ne more upijaniti normalnega človeka. Zato, fantje, le brez skrbi po njem, po “3.2” pivu namreč.	/	,

V New Yorku živi neki A-braham Viskovsky, petkratni vdovec, ki je na svoj 121. rojstni dan izjavil, da bi se želel ponovno oženiti.

NEURJE S TOČO Silno neurje s točo je dne 26. julija povzročilo veliko škodo v raznih krajih Slovenije. Trpela je mariborska okolica in z njo ptujsko polje s Halozami, bridko je okleščena Poljanska dolina in še znaten del Gorenjske, pa tudi okrog Gorjancev je neurje hudo divjalo. Od vseh, krajev pa je najbolj prizadeta dobrepoljska kotlina. Toča je skoro popolnoma uničila vse poljske pridelke, sadovnjake in vinograde. Ponekod je toča pobila strešno opeko in deževje je namočilo pod streho spravljeno seno in druge pridelke. Škoda se ceni nad deset milijonov dinarjev. Ljudstvo je obupano.
ŠESTDESETLETNICA Dne 27. julija je praznoval 60-letnico svojega rojstva novomeški profesor Ivan Koštial, eden najboljših slovenskih jezikoslovcev. Nžt tem polju se še vedno udejstvuje v raznih slovenskih revijah in njemu gre velika zasluga za izpopolnitev knjižne slovenščine. Ivan Koštial je, kakor kaže priimek, češkega porekla. Kot profesor je služboval v Novem mestu, v Ljubljani, v Kopru in v Gorici, po prevratu pa vse do zadnjega v Novem mestu.
POTRES V DALMACIJI
Dalmatinsko obalo in več dalmatinskih otokov so nedavno vznemirili močni potresni sunki, ki so poškodovali več poslopij \ in ponekod povzročili plazove. ‘ Človeških žrtev ni bilo.
SPOMENIK PISATELJU
Slovenska matica naznanja, I da se odkrije dne 19. septembra i t. 1. doprsni kip pisatelja dr. | Ivana Tavčarja pred njegovo;: rojstno hišo v Poljanah nad Škofjo Loko. Natančnejši program se še objavi. Sestavil se je že v kraju pripravljalni od-1 bor, ki vodi vso prireditev. :

DOBER TEK Za majhno stavo nekaj dinarjev se uprizarja marsikaj. Eni pijejo velike količine rakije, : drugi vino in se tudi zgodi, da sicer stavo dobijo, a da jih u-bije alkohol, a med vsemi temi rekordi po stavah ima menda prvenstvo kmet Damljanovič iz Košutiča, ki je za 40 din pojedel z dlako in kostmi živo poljsko miš, katero so ljudje, ki so organizirali stavo, ujeli na njegovi njivi. Ko je miš pogoltnil in dobil štiri kovače, je hotel za enako ceno pojesti še podgano, katero naj bi sosedje ujeli v njegovi kleti. Ker ni bi-io zanimanja za stavo in lov na podgane, se je moral mož zadovoljiti z miško.

RADOVEDEN MEDVED Ko se je neke nedelje zvečer vračala večja skupina izletnikov s Kalinovika z avtobusom v Sarajevo, je šofer na Rogoj planini v svetlobi reflektorja o-j i pazil na cesti velikega medve-' . da, ki se ni hotel umakniti. Šofer je avtobus ustavil in hupal na vso moč. Medved je mirno stal na sredi ceste in zvedavo l ogledoval avtobus. Mnogi izlet-s niki so se medveda hudo ustra-• šili, žene so vpile, otroci so jo-
■ kali. Ves strah pa je bil nepo-
■ treben. Ko je medved napasel l svojo radovednost, se je mirno
■ umaknil s ceste.

KAJ ŠEVSE PRIDE
Znano je, da so tako zvani rastlinski čarovniki, kot sta bi- r la na primer Američan Burbank n in Rus Mičurin, vzgojili dolgo p vrsto novih rastlin, kakršnih j-prej ni bilo na svetu. To so li izvršili s križanjem, namreč ta- z ko,. da so cvetni prah ene rast- g line prenesli na pestične ali se- g menske brazde druge, nekoliko b sorodne rastline. Na' tak umet- s ni način oplojeni cvet je rodil o seme, ki je dalo novo rastlino, p ki je imela nekatere lastnosti s obeh prvotnih rastlin, vendar n je bila različna od ene in druge. 1 Tako smo dobili novo sadje, ki p je napol sliva, napol marelica, g napol črešnja in napol sliva, p napol hruška in napol jabolko, i žito, ki je napol rž in napol c pšenica, cvetlico, ki je napol t tobak in napol petunija itd. z Možnosti teh rastlinskih ženitev i ali križanj so skoro neizčrpne, n vendar ni mogoče križati preveč različnih rastlin, kot sta . na primer jablana in smreka, ^ zelje in vrtnica in tako naprej.
Znano je tudi, da so živino- ^ rejci že davno križali konje in c osle in so iz teh križanj dobili t mule in mezge. Mule in mezgi j pa so jalovi med seboj in se jih r more vzgajati na novo vedno j le potom dveh prvotnih vrst. r j Več sreče so imeli živinorejci a s križanjem ameriških bivolov k z domačimi kravami. Te kri- r žance imenujejo cattalo (cattle r in buffalo). Ta npya živina se s j množi sama med seO&j in je po-1 sebno za severne kraje zelo ^ porabna. Cattalo prenese z lah- t koto, vse vremenske neprilike, ■, kakor bivol, in je tudi zelo od- t poren proti boleznim, pri tem j j pa daje okusno meso, kakor -navadno govedo.	s
Znano je dalje, da so mogo- i ča križanja med psi in volkovi, i med psi in lisicami, med konji c in zebrami, in v novejšem času i / so se posrečila celo križanja < med ovcami in kozami ter med i levi in tigri. Pri najnovejših i križanjih se poslužujejo umetnega prenosa samčevega semena in ^ ni treba, da bi prišle živali v ^ medsebojno dotiko. Rusom se je posrečilo na ta način križati divje ovce z domačimi in so s tem dobili novo ovčjo pasmo, ‘ ki je tako odporna proti bolez- J nim in vremenskim neprilikam * kot so divje ovce, toda daje j boljše meso in volno.	‘
Iz Rusije, dežele vseh mogo-^ čnosti, prihaja celo vest, da , L bodo znanstveniki v ruskem |s 1 Turkestanu poskusili s križa- ( ■ njem primitivnih domačinov s ! šimpanezi, to je s človeku pre-; cej podobnimi opicami. Kaj bo 1 iz tega, če bo sploh kaj, bomo ( ' videli ali vsaj slišali v bodočno-

To me je pa spomnilo, da je ( čas končati to razpravo o čmr- i ljih, sicer bi cenjeni čitatelji 1 utegnili misliti, da sem tudi < jaz “bzzz”, in morda bi se ne zmotili dosti. Ako sem vas dolgočasil: I beg your pardon! 1
*	i
Takoj v začetku tega odstavka moram zagotoviti cenjene čitatelje, da ne bom uganjal politične propagande, četudi razodenem kako in zakaj sem se zatekel k Marksu. Bilo je proti koncu mojih počitnic, ko sem izredno soparnega večera stopical po cestah chicaškega “Loop” distrikta in ugibal, dali bil šel spat ali bi šel za par ur v kakšno gledališče. Ju:; si cer nisem navdušen posetnik gledališč in morda si to luksuz-nost privoščim komaj dvakrat v letu. Zavedal sem se pa, da za časa počitnic si sme vsak privoščiti tudi kakšno razkošje, torej me je gledališka skušnjava že skoro premagala, ko ve je naenkrat vsula močna ploha.
Hitro stopim med podboje iekega lokala, da tam preve-irim ploho,^ ki pa je postajala vsak trenutek hujša. Kmalu :em moral pred divjajočo ne lihto pobegniti v lokal, in sem se nehote znašel pri bari čedne-[;a saluha. Za tfsti večer sem re bil sicer že odpovedal pijači, i zdaj ni kazalo drugega kot abljubo prelomiti. Malo mi je :ilo hudo, toda zunaj je lilo kot iz počenega čebra in vodr je drla po ulicah v umazanih potokih, pivo pa je bilo tako llesteče in okusno, da me je že pri drugi čaši nehala vest peči.
Ko se je vreme prevedrilo, sem zapustil gostoljubni hram, in šele takrat sem opazil, da sem bil v Marx-ovem salunu. Če bi me bil takrat videl kak dragi rojak, bi me bil lahko nagnal z Marksistom. In prav bi til imel. Ako bi se bil salun imenoval po Stalinu, bi bil pa Stalinovec. Tako ne more človek nikdar vedeti, kaj se mu lahko pripeti, pri najboljših namenih in pri najtrdnejšem prepričanju.
Stari ljudje so govorili, da se človek ne sme zareči, da se ne bi v svoj lastni nos ugriznil, in prav so imeli. Poznam rojaka, ki se je ugriznil še nekam drugam, ko je imel svoje umetne zobe v zadnjem hlačnem žepu in je nekako nerodno sedel!

Nova knjiga slovensko-ame-riškega pisatelja Louisa Adamiča bo v začetku septembra izšla i v založbi Harpers and Brothers jv New Yorku. Knjiga se imenu-' je “The House in Antigua” in jej pisana v stilu Adamičeve naj- i
teh bojih je bilo ubitih tudi nekaj ameriških državljanov. Vlada Zedinjenih držav je poslala več vojnih ladij, da odpeljejo ameriške državljane na varno. Slične korake so storile Anglija, Francija in druge države. V splošnem pa so poročila s kitaj-sko-japonskega bojišča tako o-rientalsko zapletena, da si mi | zapadnjaki ne moremo napraviti nikake prave slike, kaj se prav za prav godi na Kitajskem.
AMERIŠKE ŽRTVE
Na reki Whangpoo pri Šanghaju, kjer se zadnje čase vršijo i najhujši boji med Kitajci in Japonci, je usidrana ameriška vojna ladja Augusta za varstvo oziroma za varno odpremo A-meričanov iz vojne zone. Na ladjo je priletel izstrelek topa ene bojujočih se strank in je ubil enega mornarja, 18 drugih pa je ranil. Sodi se, da je bil iz-1 !strelek iz japonskega topa. Uvedena je bila preiskava.

Odgovor: Velika razlika je seveda, kaki datum naj se smatra kot vaš poslednji prihod, kajti po zakonu, ki je še v veljavi, morejo legalizirati svoje bivanje le oni, ki so prišli nezakonito pred dnem 3. junija 1321. V svoji prošnji za registracijo (Form 659) navedite svoj prvi prihod 1. 1918, obenem pa povejte, da ste kasneje potovali do inozemskih pristanišč. Ja prav mogoče, da vam bodo v vašem slučaju dovolili legalizacijo bivanja.
Vprašanje: Ali je res, da bo WPA odpustila vse ne-držav-ljane?
Odgovor: V smislu zakona (Federal Relief Appropriation Act), kot ga je kongres sprejel, inozemci, ki so tukaj nezakonito, kakor tudi inozemci, ki nimajo “prvega papirja”, ne morejo biti zaposleni od WPA in, ako so bili do sedaj, morajo biti odpuščeni. Kar se tiče ino-zemcev, ki so dobili “prvi papir” pred dnem 29. junija 1937, so isti kvalificirani za work relief, ali prednost je treba dajati vojnim veteranom in ameriškim državljanom, ki so v potrebi.—FLIS.

V KRATKIH BESEDAH
V poletni vročini je težko citati in še težje pisati dolge članke. Da se izognemo teh težkoč na obeh straneh, bo ta članek prav kratek, toda urednik kljub temu upa, da bo mnogo povedal.
V polletnem poročilu glavnega tajnika, ki je bilo priobčeno v zadnji izdaji Nove Dobe, so člani J. S. K. Jednote lahko čitali o razveseljivem napredku naše organizacije, tako z ozirom na finance, kot na pomnoženo število članstva. Verjetno pa je, da so nekateri člani važne točke dotičnega poročila prezrli. Zato naj bodo na tem mestu ponovno navedene.
Dne 30. junija letos je štela naša Jednota 13,994 članov v odraslem in 9103 člane v mladinskem oddelku, število članstva obeh oddelkov je na gori omenjeni datum znašalo 23,097. Še nikdar v svoji zgodovini J. S. K. Jednota ni imela toliko članov kot jih ima sedaj!
Premoženje odraslega oddelka je 30. junija letos znašalo $2,040,612.51, premoženje mladinskega oddelka pa $142,818.53. čista imovina obeh oddelkov je torej na omenjeni datum znašala $2,183,431.04. Tudi to je najvišja vsota premoženja, ki jo je naša Jednota kdaj izkazovala!
Od 1. januarja ilo 30. junija 1937 se je število našega članstva dvignilo za 2,736, kar je tudi napredek, kakršnega nismo v tako kratkem času še nikoli beležili.
Ako gremo nazaj do leta 1933, ko je število našega članstva v obeh oddelkih znašalo 18,111, in primerjamo število članstva 30. junija 1937, ki znaša 23,097, pro-najdemo, da smo v manj ko štirih letih napredovali skoro za pet tisoč članov.
Številke so na videz suhoparne, pa povedo veliko in krasno resnico. In ta resnica je, da je J. S. K. Jednota na trdnem finančnem stališču, da je polna mlade življenjske sile, da ima dobra pravila ter dobro vodstvo in upravo, da ima lojalne in navdušene člane, da je popularna in spoštovana med našim narodom v Ameriki ter da se lahko uspešno in častno meri z vsako drugo slično organizacijo.
Bratje in sestre, ali niste zadovoljni in ponosni, da ste člani take dobre, trdne, spoštovane in življenja polne organizacije? Ali ne mislite, da je v tej organizaciji logični prostor za vse vaše otroke, znance in prijatelje? Odgovorite si sami!

DOVOLJ" KANDIDATOV 1 Za mestne primarne volitve,
' ki se bodo vršile v Clevelandu,
n O., dne 28. septembra, se je za župansko mesto prijavilo 7 kan-1 didatov, za mesta koncilmanov pa 210. župansko mesto je seveda samo eno, koncilmanskih pa je 33.
ČEHI IN PORTUGALCI Portugalska je pretrgala di- ! plomatske zveze s češkoslovaško, ker je slednja prepovedala izvoz 600 strojnih pušk, ki so bi- : le v neki češkoslovaški tovarni naročene za Portugalsko. Vsakemu jo jasno, da mala Portugalska ni potrebovala naročenih strojnih pušk za svojo armado, ampak da jih je nameravala izročiti španskim rebelom. To pomoč rebelom je češkoslovaška vlada s prepovedjo izvoza preprečila. To je Portugalce tako razjezilo, da so pretrgali diplomatske zveze s češkoslovaško. Znano je, da tako Portugalci kot Nemci in Italijani podpirajo španske rebele.
VOJNA V ŠPANIJI Španski rebeli poročajo o velikih uspehih na severni fronti, kjer so baje zajeli več tisoč ujetnikov in mnogo vojnega materiala. V bojih pri Madridu niti rebeli niti vladne čete ne beležijo znatnih uspehov.
V Sredozemskem morju je bilo zadnje čase torpediranih in potopljenih več tovornih parnikov, ki so pripadali različnim narodom- Splošno se sodi, da je to delo nemških in italijanskih podmornic, ki pomagajo španskim rebelom. Anglija in Francija sta poslali več vojnih ladij na stražovv Sredozemsko morje.
VOJNA NA KITAJSKEM Na Kitajskem se vrši neofici-clna vojna med Kitajci in Japonci, katerih namen je odtrgati nekaj nadaljnih provinc od Kitajske, kakor so pred nekaj leti storili z Mandžurijo, katero so izpremenili v svojo vazalno državo Mančukuo. Japonci so brez posebnega odpora zasedli ! Peiping, nekdanje glavno mesto i Kitajske, in zadnje čase se vršijo hudi k°ji P1’! Šanghaju. V

Občinska uprava v Petrov- : gradu je dobila od ameriških i sodišč več spisov o iskanju de-dičev in o razpravi o zapuščini, i Na razne načine so banaški Schaeferji že skušali uveljaviti svoje pravice do dedščine in ■ zapuščinske razprave, ki je bila 30. junija v Philadelphiji, se je udeležil Ludvik Adam, pisarniški uradnik pri nekem odvetniku v Petrovgradu, ki si po svoji materi, rojeni Schafer, lasti pravico do dedščine. Razprava ni bila zaključena in se bo ponovila 2. novembra. Ameriške oblasti so na razpravo povabile še druge sorodnike pokojnega bogataša in zdaj je bil tudi v Beogradu ustanovljen konzorcij, ki finansira številne dediče.
MAŠČEVANA SLEPARIJA
Blizu vasi Kodralije na Kosovem je 25-letni kmet Abas ImeS ubil s sekiro svojega svaka Se-I lina Dajta in kmeta Muhameda Zumerja iz vasi Ramaje. Ta dva uboja sta posledica sleparij, ki se dogajajo med jugoslovanski-1 mi Arnavti pri kupčijah z nevestami. Abaz je že pred 10 leti postal gospodar svoje domačije 1 in rodbina mu je priporočala, naj se čimprej oženi. Pravili so mu, da ima Selim lepo sestro Nefo, ki bi bila kakpr za njega. Abaz se je s Selimom za Nefo pogodil in mu polagoma tudi odštel kupnino 3.000 Din. Po sklenjeni kupčiji je bila prazno-vana zaroka. Pozneje pa je Selim Abazu pripovedoval, da ima še eno mlajšo sestro Djulo, ki je dosti lepša in bi bilo za A-baza bolje, če še nekaj tisoča-1 kov doplača in se z njo poroči.
' Obeh sester, čeprav je bila ena 1 že njegova zaročenka, ni Abaz nikdar videi, a ko so sosedje [ potrjevali Selimovo pripovedo-r! vanje o lepoti mlajše sestre, je 1

rang incessantly. A tall guy thought he heard the ring, but at first mistook the sound for the ringing that sometimes comes to one’s ears—you know krnda far, far, away! He stirred but his eyes didn’t open. Ring, ring! In mid-slumber, Little Stan finally came to his senses to realize that it was 4:30. With a start he jumped out of bed, plunged into a bathtub, shaved, and in a few minutes, he was able to look himself in the mirror and say, “Today, I yam a man!”
No time for breakfast however, thought Little Stan as he looked at the clock. He was just like an old lady, puttering around and didn’t realize that a whole hour had passed by since he hopped out of bed. Checking out, to the depot, where his first passenger awaited. The train had just pulled in from Calumet, Michigan, and there on the platform was none other than Brother Peter Strucel, delegate from lodge No. 9, Calumet, Michigan. He had a big smile on his face, and recognized Little Stan right off the bat, he said.
No time was wasted in getting acquainted. Bag checked, the two sought out the nearest restaurant, and decided it was time to eat some -breakfast. Washed up and refreshed, the two fellows downed a fried egg, some toast and coffee, and were prepared to meet the train from the west. In between, Little Stan learned quite a bit about Calumet from this fine lad.
To the1 depot, the train had just pulled in, and far out in the distance, Little Stan saw what appeared like Colorado Sunshine! His judgment was correct as he neared the delegates who had piled out of the train. The Colorado delegation, under the direction of Bro. Frank Okoren, third supreme vice-president, had arrived safe and sound. A big smile lit up the countenances of everyone, and it didn’t take but a few seconds before your representative and the entire western delegation were very well acquainted. Included were the delegates from Montana, Wyoming, St. Louis, and Colorado Sunshine—they had the longest trip and seemed tired, but not too tired to smile! To the depot to await the arrival of the fast train from Chicago on which were the delegates from the east, including one from Missouri.
Bro. Frank Okoren, who headed the Western delegation and Little Stan were enjoying a cup of java between trains, and were a trifle late in meeting the last train. On the way to the depot, a lowly freight train crossed in front, and there was Little Stan and Bro. Okoren on one side, and the entire group from the east on the other. Between cars, one could see on the opposite side, and Little Stan saw fingers pointing in his direction, and even recognized familiar faces. Then, the last car was through, and happy greetings followed* Met the orchestra from Cleveland, all nice strapping fellows, including the tallest delegate, Louis Martinčič, Jr., of Joliet, lodge 66. Right then and there, Little Stan knew that this delegate was a good inch taller than he.

At the depot, the western delegation seemed tired from their very long journey, but smiles came easy. Little Stan was very happy to meet every one of them.
Acquaintances were really formed in Duluth. The group had to wait for one and a half hours before the last lap of the convention trip was underway. During this time, the delegates scurried hither and thither, getting more or less acquainted with Duluth. Little Stan was in a whirl. Questions popped from all sides, and he tried to answer everyone of them at the same time.
Train - time! — everybody boards, the conductor shouts, and the train puffs out of the Duluth station, on the way to Ely—the convention city!
With the train chugging its way towards Two Harbors, Little Stan scurried around getting more acquainted. He learned that the most fun was had by the eastern delegation. Some of the boys and girls didn’t get much sleep on the overnight trip from Chicago because the convention orchestra from Cleveland, composed of delegates Poklar, Primc, Zalar, and Doblekar, supplied enough dance music and fun to keep them all happy, making the trip really much sh°rtei^un appeared Besides, there was a little boy and his mother, whose name Little Stan can’t recall at the moment, who played a violin, was a wonderful singer, yet raised enough cain to kepp the entire delegation awake. Bro. John Lunka, 4th supreme vice-president, of Cleveland, and Bro. Frank Mikec, supreme judiciary of Strabane, Penna., who accompanied the eastern delegation, reported that much fun was had by all, and every one was reported safe, although sleepy!
' Also on the train, Little Stan met his old friend Vida Kumse, one of the first contributors to Nova Doba of Lorain, Ohio, Mrs. Kapelj, delegate Sophie’s mother; Mrs. Peich, delegate Milan Peich’s ma, the latter two from Cleveland, and Milwaukee, respectively. Mrs. Glavan, Milwaukee, and young son, Bobby, who was a delegate and several score others. You’ll hear more about the delegates as Little Stan continues his story. Mrs. Mikolich, Struthers, Ohio, Mrs. Prunk, Starkville, Col., and Mrs. Anton Gaber, Salida, Colorado, were also making the trip.
Getting acquainted was fun, but Little Stan had work to do. First baggage had to be marked, then, proper hotel reservations had to be made, so that when the delegates arrived in Ely, everything would be in readiness. With the help of Bro. Frank Okoren, Frank Mikec, and John Lunka, Little Stan managed to get everything all set.
Then swiftly to Tower, where delegate Frankie Doblekar stood on the platform of the last car to show the Tower people that the delegates were in town. Towards Ely, the delegates were told that a fine reception was awaiting their arrival. You just couldn’t get to Ely soon enough. As the train passed the rock crusher, delegates were already
grabbing their bags, getting set to alight on the soil of the convention site.
Into Ely, the junior band blares, and hundreds of people are waiting at the station. Excitement takes over everyone, including the many local people waiting for the delegates to alight. Delegates line up behind the junior band ... a fast parade to the hotel. Then rooms, clean-up, refreshed, and everyone is ready to really open this great conclave.
Because Little Stan wants to cover every little detail of the convention, he will sign off for this week, and continue next week ... So keep reading your Nova Doba . . .
Meantime, delegates had arrived home, and Little Stan received the following letters: From delegate Helen Okoren, Denver, daughter of the third supreme vice-president, Frank Okoren, who says:
Dear Little Stan:
The time has ceme for me to write my letter of appreciation. At the present time words fail me. Everything seems like a. dream. A dream which shall live in my memory forever. When Mr. Zbasniic sent me my credentials he said in that letter, “Your reward will come in August.” Little did I realize how great this reward would be. To be a delegate was believable, but to be the first girl delegate and besides that, to be honored by being first vi^-president is too good to be true.
“Many things have happened during my life, but this is one event I shall never forget. Long in my memory will linger the train ride, the trip across the lake, the Indian Reservation, the dance, the picnic, and all other good times that made me so happy.
“So through you, I wish to thank all supreme officers, delegates, and people of Ely, and others who helped in any way to make this trip a success.”
A lucky girl,
Helen Okoren.

Louis Adamic’s New Book Out in Sept.
Appearance of Room Improved by Light, Color
There are many factors which affect the apparent size and appearance of a room. When a room is too small, or the ceilings too high or too low or the light not good, there are many ways to improve the situation, if it is not possible for financial or architectural reasons, to actually correct it.
The height and type of a ceiling affect the apparent size of the room and the size and location of electric fixtures influences its appearance. The color of the walls and the finish of the floor may be an aid or a detriment to the finished product.
Decorations often resort to an old trick to make the floor space of a room seem larger. This is to finish the baseboard the same way that the floor is finished. When an all-over carpet is used, a strip of six inches or so, like a baseboard, can be

Milan Peich, delegate from lodge No. 225, Milwaukee, forgot his coat, but Little Stan sent it back to him safe and sound. He reported a wonderful time!
And now, Little Stan will bid you good-bye until next week, when you shall read the next step of this wonderful juvenile convention.

will sponsor night softball games for the first time in its history. Starting Monday, August 30, the first game of the championship series between the Spartans and the Orels will be played under floodlights at Genview Park, East 110th; the field is located about 300 feet north of St. Clair Ave. The other championship games will be played on September 10 and September 17. Admission to the games is free.
“The House in Antigua” is the name of Louis Adamic’s latest creation of the non-fiction type since “The Native’s Return.” Harper & Brothers announce that Adamic’s book will be published in September.
“The House in Antigua” is a travel book, a history, an autobiography and a collection of biographies (of people who lived in the house), and a vividly readable essay on a number of basic human problems. The book sprang out of chance, arising from Adamic’s vacation trip to Guatemala last winter where in the city of Antigua, ruined by earthquake in 1773 and then largely abandoned, he lived in a house that is being recognized as one of the loveliest dwellings on the American continent.
The house was built in 1634 by a cultured, wealthy, and ambitious Spanish colonist; then inhabited by a procession of vastly interesting people till it was wrecked by earthquake. It lay a ruin for nearly 160 years, or until 1930, when an extraordinary young American couple—Dorothy Popenoe, the archeologist, and her husband, Wilson Popenoe, one of the world’s great plant scientists— began to restore it.
The restoration was finished on December 28, 1936, the very day when Mr. Adamic happened to walk into the spacious patio .. . and the rest is a story of a rare adventure in beauty and human excellence.
“The House in Antigua” will be ’Illustrated with 33 full-page photographs of the house and its vicinity. According to advance reports, Adamic’s latest creation will be considered his best work so far.

Picture moldings fastened to the walls where they join the ceiling heighten the wall effect, as do narrow baseboards. Low moldings, on the other hand, tend to lower a high ceiling.
Wedding bells will ring for
the special benefit of Miss Mary E. Galicic and Mr. Paul J. Ob-lock, both of Center, Pa., on September 4, when the two will be united as man and wife. The bridegroom is the second supreme vice-president of the SSCU. Congratulations, and may they both find happineBS in their matrimonial venture.
Women Choose 7 Bath Colors, Six for Kitchen
The bathroom is more colorful than the kitchen, according to a survey of the Bureau of Standards and the National Retail Dry Goods Association. The analysis shows that it takes seven colors to meet the ordinary demands for bathrooms, while six are satisfactory for kitchens.
The seven most desired bathroom colors are White, bath green, orchid, ivory, maize, bath blue, and royal blue.
The six most popular kitchen shades are white, kitchen green, ivory, delphinium blue, royal blue, and red.
On August 25th Miss Rosalia Trgovic became the bride of Mr. John Joseph Balkovec, Jr., both of Pittsburgh, Pa. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. John Balkovec, Sr., former supreme trustee of the SSCU.

These evenings are among the most enjoyable I remember. We spend them before going to sleep in the haylofts, or in warm cheerful groups in the kitchens, where we listen to the girls recount their experiences with the Magyars and Roumanians whom they have found extremely forward. During one of these discussions Drganc tells us of an auto he has seen in Ljubljana which sings “tef-tef” scrambles over the “Grad” and is faster than any cow. Koželf startles us with a description of a flame with which he has learned the Italians plan to operate, but he assures us we needn’t be in the least alarmed, for his air patrol has perfected an ap-

paratus which devours flame and which besides possesses the remarkable property of making fine weather on the front. Janez tells us that they have a slaughter house in America where so much live stock is butchered dally that the blood drawn off during the function is utilized to drive gigantic mill stones; that they lead live pigs and asses in at one end of a machine and that smoked human legs, arfs and greybeards tumble out on the other. With time resting heavily on our hands we turn it over into puzzling over the silliest and most trivial nonsense. And in so doing we help shorten the sleeping hours of the villagers who hang upon our crazy yarns.
General Boreovič comes about this time to pass Inspection on our troops. His face is gloomy and set in a definite mould of hardness. He is weary and shows the strains that is with him night and day. He extolls our bravery and then goes away. After him comes General Kurm who encourages us with the knowledge of more and better battles to come.
Days and weeks fly and then the old Emperor is dead. We pledge allegiance to the new and our few days of freedom are over. The companies are detailed every night to Fajt Hrib to throw up fortifications. The heartless “ukaz" of the 7th Corps goes on inexorably and men are pushed to endless toil, “lest you scamps go stinking stale!”

Introduction of Bro. Anton Zbasnik, supreme secretary of the SSCU as temporary chairman was made by Bro. Paul Bartel, supreme president.

Response by Frank E. Vranichar, Supreme Trustee
Brother Chairman, Honorable Mayor, Members of the Supreme Board and Supreme Judiciary, Worthy Juvenile Delegates, Friends and Guests:—
It is indeed a privilege which gives me great pleasure and distinct honor to extend a most sincere welcome to the j delegates and guests of this glorious Second National Juvenile Convention of the South Slavonic Catholic Union of America.
On your behalf, and in your name, as , well as on behalf of the Supreme Board, I wish to express thanks to the : Honorable Mayor of the City of Ely, for his royal w'elcomc. The juvenile dele- j gates here assembled proudly accept the key to your fair City, and will always cherish the memory of the pleasant hours spent here.
Also on behalf of the Juvenile Delegates I desire to extend thanks to the good people of Ely for their efforts and co-opcration to make this Convention a huge success. Let me say to you delegates, that you will find them, as I have, to be very hospitable aiyj| desirous of making your brief stay here so pleasant that you will always feel a longing to come back again in future years.
The Supreme Board also wishes to extend to you 86 worthy delegates hearty appreciation and sincere thanks for the splendid work you have done during the past few months, during which nearly 3,000 new members have been enrolled into our Union. Through the successful campaign in which you have participated our Juvenile Department membership has grown to 9,103. This is an exceptional accomplishment and due credit must be given to you, and to those who assisted you. It shows what can be done with that “I WILL” spirit. Still greater things are expected from you in the future. I am confident that we shall not be disappointed.
As previously mentioned the juvenile membership of our Union now is 9,103, insured for a total of $4,111,050.00, while our adult membership amounts to 13,994, insured for $10,234,856.00. Our members and their dependents have received from our Union more than five million five hundred thousand dollars in cash benefits. Our cash assets exceed two million dollars. The fine Home Office Building, which you have had an opportunity .to inspect yesterday was built with surplus money of your juvenile department, and really belongs to you, not the adult department.
These things, my dear young friends, we call to your attention because in a few short years all of this will fall into your hands as an inheritance to look after. The purpose of this convention, in addition to being a reward for your work, Is intended to acquaint you with what is ahead of you, and to make you more interested to successfully continue the noble fraternal work started by our founders, that of providing for the sick and needy in a fraternal spirit oT love.
This convention should result in more than a good time alone. The Supreme officers love the juveniles and are interested in them, believe in them, and are deeply concerned In their future. While you arc here, all of us will be very glad to acquaint you with the operation of this two million dollar corporation, in which all of you are stockholders, so that when you return to your respective homes you will have a better understanding and new incentive to increase the activities, continue soliciting new members to join, and building our Union to one of the largest in America. I have contended right along that it already is the best.
We will also appreciate and give careful consideration to all recommendations you will make at this convention on what to do to make our Union bigger and better.

The foregoing resolution was unanimously adopted.
Reports of committees heard and acted upon, Convention Chairman Anthony Prime recognized Bro. Anton Zbasnik, supreme secretary, who introduced out-Df-town mothers and guests of the convention. All responded with brief talks.
The convention chairman called for suggestions from the floor, asking delegates how they would prefer spending the afternoon. It was explained that the proposed tour around Shagawa lake would be called off, if so requested by [lie convention. The convention ruled that the delegates could spend the afternoon as they wished.
Bro. Anton Zbasnik, supreme secretary was recognized by the convention chairman. He offered instructions regarding the return trip by delegates. Expense checks were discussed, and instructions given. Pictures of delegates, a gift from the Ely convention committee, were to be distributed Monday, August 9 at the Home Office. All delegates were advised to be at the Home Office Sunday where the parade to the Picnic at Sandy Point would begin.
Sister Lillian Rudolf, delegate from lodge No. 37, Cleveland, Ohio, and Mary Ambrožič, delegate from lodge 21, Denver, Colorado, read a report from the social actvities committee, pointing out the program from Saturday, August 7, until Monday, August 9, as follows: “Mr Chairman, the program of social activities from now until our departure ^ will consist of the following: This afternoon, after whatever business we may have at the Home Office, will be free to enjoy as we like. There are in Ely two first-class theatres, the Ely and the State, where first run moving pictures are being shown. This evening at 9 p. ni., in the lobby of Forest Hotel, the delegates Will have a private and exclusive informal party. We insist on all being present. Sunday at 1 p. in., we arc all requested to be present at the Home Office, from where a monstrous demonstration of strength of the South Slavonic Catholic Union of Ely will be manifested. A gigantic picnic at Sandy Point, where all delegates will be called upon to extend greetings to the assembled, will begin at 2 p. m. After the speaking program at the picnic we will be free to enjoy the scenic beauty of Sandy Point as well as trip the light fantastic in the pavilion on the grounds. The picnic will continue on into the evening. Brother Chairman, I move the adoption of this report.” Supported and carried.
The convention chairman called upon Bro. Stanley (Little Stan) Pechaver, Campaign director, to give the concluding address. Incorporated in his address was a poem entitled, “It Couldn’t Be Done” by Edgar A. Guest.
Variation of a poem “It Can Be Done,” by Edgar A Guest, appropriate for the winning delegates at this convention, in regard to success accomplished in the new membership contest.
Somebody had said that “it couldn't be done”—
But they, with a chuckle replied That, “maybe it couldn’t”, but they would be ones
Who wouldn’t say so till they’d tried. So they buckled right in, with a bit of a grin
And if they worried, they hid it:
They started to sing as they tackled the thing
That “couldn’t be done”---------------and
they did it!

Somebody scoffed “Oh, you'll never do that”;
At least no one has ever done it;
But they took off their coats, and they took off their hats,
And the first thing we knew they’d begun it.
With a lift of their chins, and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubt or “quiddit”
They started to sing as they tackled the thing
“That could't be done”---------------anel
they did it!
There are thousands to tell you “It Can’t be Done”,
There are thousands to prophesy failure,
There arc thousands to point out, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you. But just you buckle in, with a bit of a grin
Then take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
“That couldn’t be done”---------------and
you’ll do it.
In conclusion, Bro. Peclievar led the entire delegation in reciting the following Pledge:
pledge
We, and each of us, hereby promise and pledge that when we return to our homes, we will in all places and at every opportunity speak well of our South Slavonic Catholic Union of America, to spread its name as the “Best Fraternal Union in America,” and devote our efforts towards securing the largest number of new members to join our lodges.
We further promise to do everything in our power to bring our Union to the highest possible degree of perfection and progress along the highest and noblest fraternal ideals.
For all this we here pledge our words of honor.
A selection, “Hej Slovenci” was sung by the entire delegation, under the direction of Miss Mary Hutar, accompanied by Mrs. Katherine Merhar.
Wheieupon, Bro. Anthony Prime, convention chairman, adjourned the Second National Bienniel Juvenile Convention of the South Slavonic Catholic Union of America.

new
From the Chairman of the Juvenile Convention
Cleveland, O.—I wish to say at this time that I am very glad to have had the opportunity to attend the second national juvenile convention of our SSCU; also, I wish to send my most sincere thanks to ail the supreme board members and delegates to the 15th quadrennial convention who made it possible for us juvenile delegates to come to Ely.
Upon my arrival in Ely, I was overwhelmed by the welcome extended to us delegates. It certainly was different from anything which I had anticipated.
•Arriving at Ely, Thursday, we were greeted by the Eagle Drum and Bugle Corps and others from Ely, and then we were escorted to Forest Hotel. The first session held on Friday morning will be one that I will never forget, and one which will long linger in my memory. Why? First, because it thrilled me to see all the delegates assembled for the second juvenile convention; and second, because I was elected to the post of convention chairman, an honor that I greatly esteem. The convention sessions certainly were educational to me, for I learned a great deal from .he various speakers.
After the final interesting session was adjourned on Saturday, we delegates decided to have the afternoon to ourselves; that is, spend it as we preferred.
Sunday was a banner day for the delegates and in fact all the SSCU’ers in Ely and surrounding range towns. Over 3,000 people attended the mammoth picnic arranged by the Ely lodges. Consider that there are but 6,000 people in Ely, and the parade, picnic, speeches, etc., partie-ipated by lh" equivalent of 50 per cent of the town—ithen you can imagine the magnanimity of the whole situation.
Monday came, a day we had wished would never come around because it meant a day for departure, accompanied by sad good-byes.
I feel sure that the days spent in Ely never will be forgotten, and I hope that I am expressing the feelings of ail delegates as well as my own.
We delegates, who arc all back home now, should inspire leadership In our lodges, should learn the fundamentals of our lodge system, and what the SSCU strives for, so that when the time comes for us boys and girls to fill the vacancy created in the front ranks of leadership, we shall be prepared to continue onward.
Best wishes to all delegates of the second juvenile convention, supreme cf fleers and all SSCU members.
Anthony Prime, Jr.
Chairman, Second Juvenile Convention
to have our pictures taken. After supper ; our supreme secretary Anton Zbasnik taught us how to call the meetings to order. Next morning we entered the Washington school auditorium to attend the juvenile convention. Anthony Prime Jr. was elected chairman of the second juvenilp convention while Helen Okoren, Molly Korošec, Wallace Brezo-vic and Louis Martinčič were elected vice-chairmen. Victoria Kumse was elected secretary of this convention. Friday afternoon we went to the Indian Reservation where we took pictured of the Indians and watched them do their Indian dances. In the evening we attended a minstrel show given for our benefit. Saturday morning we at- ; tended the second session of the juvenile convention, while Saturday afternoon we spent the time as we saw fit.
Sunday afternoon we were taken to Sandy Point where a picnic was held. Most of the delegates gave speeches before the mike. I was very happy to see my parents and our friends from Chisholm, Minn. On Monday we went to the Home Office building where we received our expense checks and the pictures of all the delegates. Then to the Hotel where we packed our clothes. At one p. m. we helped the delegates carry their baggage to the train. After sad partings, the delegates left for home. At 3:30 p. m. wa started on our way homeward to Chisholm, Minn.
I have had a wonderful time and I am sure that all the other delegates have had just as good a time. I am sure that we would all like to return to Ely in two years.
Thanks to all those who contributed their efforts to give us such a real welcome to Ely and also all those who in any way helped to make our stay in Ely such a pleasure.

DEAR EDITOR:
After having such a Swell time I still didn’t forget to write to the Nova Doba. The convention is something I shall never forget. The wonderful trip was worth twice the enrollment of thirty new members. I enjoyed every bit of j the train ride, and the stay in Ely was wonderful. The saddest part of the story is when we had to pack and bid our many friends good-bye. Little Stan kept his promise to me when he said he would give us a ride in his Ahs-tin. In closing I would like to thank everyone that made the trip a wonderful one to us all, and also want to thank the editor for the one dollar check which was waiting for me when I returned home from my trip,

DEAR EDITOR:
I just can't forget the great second ; national juvenile convention of the SSCU so I decided to write an article on it. When the entire delegation met in Duluth, everyone met new acquaintances. We laughed and talked and had a gay time with Little Stan. Some joke, that Helen Bavitz, delegate from Chicago had told to the delegation was quite interesting. When Little Stan stops to figure a joke out, wa all know it must be quite good.
The Cleveland musicians entertained the delegate and other friends until we arrived in Ely. No one could beat the Cleveland orchestra. They are Just too good for words. Well, it wasn’t long before we pulled in Ely. Crowds were gathered around the depot welcoming the entire delegation. Did we ever feel proud to think of the huge crowd greeting us. The band played as we paraded through Ely to the good old Forest i Hotel. The people of Ely were wonderful to the entire group including the supreme officers during the time spent in Ely. Although the weather was quite j warm during the day, the evenings were very cool and enjoyable. The sessions of the convention were very interesting. Our supreme president, Mr. Bartel, gave the opening address. All of the supreme officers were then introduced to the delegates. The next address was given by the honorable mayor of Ely. Various committees have been appointed during the first session. Committees consisted of the credentials, committee on resolutions and committee on social function. The chairman was Anthony Prime, the first qualified delegate to the second juvenile convention of the SSCU. After the session was over we had an enjoyable trip to the Indian Reservation. There we saw the Indians do the "Pow Wow" and many other things after the trip to the great Indian Reservation, we started back to the hotel. The last' session of the convention was very interesting and the time went by too quickly to suit us. Minutes and telegrams were read at this session and Mr. Zbasnik made a few remarks concerning the departure of the delegat s • in order that they might all return home safely. The picnic, on Sunday, was a successful event. Almost all of the delegates were quite nervous while waiting their turn to speak over the “mike” (including myself). Everyone was very friendly at the picnic, thus everyone enjoying themselves. The boat rides were just wonderful. I enjoyed them very much and I know all of the other delegates enjoyed them also. The time went by quickly and before we knew it the time had come for our departure. No one felt like going back to their respective homes. But we Just had to go. I do hope, that I will have another chance to go to Ely, the city of the most beautiful lakes. So many things have happened during our . stay at Ely that I just haven’t time to tell about them. I will try to write more in my next article. I will close by wishing you all {jood luck.

DEAR EDITOR:
I attended the second juvenile convention of our South Slavonic Catholic Union, which was hold at Ely, Minnesota August 6th and 7th. I arrived in Ely at 11:30 Thursday morning and was on hand to greet the delegates as they alighted from the 1:30 train from Duluth. All of us delegatps paraded to the Forest Hotel with the Ely junior band in the lead. Dinner was held at 2, after which we all went to the Home Office
Now that tha convention is Over I guess I'll start sending in my letters again. I know that the juveniles had a very good time out in Ely, Minn. I am happy to know that the boy from our state, city and lodge is the president, Anton Prime. We all givefvery much credit to him.
I am going to start my SSCU scrapbook. I have in it, so sar, pictures of Little Stan and juveniles. I hope the children start in by sending Dorothy Startz’s idea. By that I mean: couple of months ago, Dorothy wrote a letter telling Little Stan that the juveniles should send in their pictures and by this the juveniles could start a scrapbook. Wc now have the pictures of the delegates. All we now need is the rest of you members. As soon as I have my picture taken, I will send it in.
Soon our vacation will be over and we have to go back to school. I just hate to think of all the homework I’ll have. I have had a nice vacation. I spent one month in Madison, Ohio. That is on a farm. It was fun getting up early, watching them feed the cows, horses, pigs and chickens. I always would like to feed the chickens. I would throw out some corn and a whole flock of them would come, following me. I paid most of my attention to two of the little chickens who were crippled. I’d put them in a box and feed them. Then one day we went to pitch hay. The driver was the hired man and the wagon (we had two) was pulled by two horses. We had to pitch the hay into pretty big piles. Then the horses, wagons and men would come and start piling the hay on the wagon. Most of the fun was riding on the wagon on the way home. We would ride along the highway. We stopped for apples and waved to people passing by in cars. It took us pretty long to get home too.
When T came home from the farm on August 2nd, I couldn’t even sleep at home, I missed the farm so. I can hardly wait till next year when I’ll be going back gain. The girl that lived on the farm came to our house for three weeks. I took her to shows, Euclid Beach and many other places. She likes the city better while I like the country more. While I was out there I missed reading the Nova Doba, but my mother saved all of them for me. Last week we went to a picnic. Some girls and I were walking out into the woods when suddenly we came to a big house, at least that is what I thought it was. Then I saw four nuns. Two of them were picking apples. Later my mother told me that it was a school and church. But they don’t teach there any more. It was a very lovely place. Nice trees, flowers and rock gardens. I’ll close my letter and good luck to all of you members.

moj prvi dopis iz Minnesote* upam, da bo sobrat urednik na-< šel zanj mali prostorček v No* vi Dobi. Veliko še ne morem poi ročati od tukaj, ker sem šele eni teden v tem kraju. Za enkrat) moram reči, da se mi dopade. Zrak je čist, sonce je prijetnoi toplo in rojaki so prijazni. Zd$ se mi kot bi bila v starem kraju. Na vrtovih si tukajšnji rojaki, pridelajo vsakovrstno zelenjavo za takojšnjo porabo, pa tudi zal zimo. Krompir je tako dobro obrodil, da ga je kar prijetno kopati. Meni se vse to zelo dopade, dasi nisem bila tega vajena v Chicagu, kjer sem prej več let živela. Sedaj sem se preselila tu j sem na Chisholm, z možem in j sinom. Moj mož je izučen urar ter bo tu odprl zlatarsko trgovino in popravljalnico. Začasno se nahajamo pri moževi sestri Mrs. Joseph Gazvoda na 331 W. Poplar St.
Sedaj pa naj se zahvalim so-sestram od društva Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ v Chicagu, ki so mi za odhodnico pripravile tako le-j po surprise party. Ne morem popisati, kako sem bila iznenade-na. Party so priredile sledeče sosestre: Kovačič, Jurečič, Jurca, Turek, Pristavec, Keržan, Jazbec, Borštnik, Dovjak in Puš. Lepo se zahvalim za usnjato ročno torbico, ki sem jo dobila kot darilo in katero je so-sestra Puš sama napravila v tovarni, kjer je preddeiavka. Drage mi sosestre, še enkrat vsem skupaj prisrčna zahvala, delujte še zanaprej skupno za društvo Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ, jaz bom ostala v duhu pri vas. V vseh 11 letih, odkar društvo obstoji, sem zamudila samo eno sejo. Toda naša usoda je že ta-I ko, da moramo s trebuhom za j kruhom. Zdaj sem tu v Minneso-! ti in kadar katero mojih so-sester pot nanese v ta kraj, bo vselej dobrodošla pri meni. Tudi želim, da bi se večkrat oglašale v Novi Dobi.

DEAR EDITOR:
Here I am writing again, hoping all the delegates are happy after the convention. I was too young to go but maybe I’ll be able to go in the next two years. I have not taken a vacation because I have to continue with my lessons, piano and tap dancing.
I	sing too. This year all of the five groups of Cleveland are going to sing at the Slovene National Home on St. Clair avenue. The day will be Sept. 19, 1937. The five groups have been directed under Mr. Louis Seme for 3 years. Mr. Louis Seme has been greatly honored for his work. He has been now many times presented with flowers and other presents'. I have sung solos over the radio under the direction of Mr. Seme. We will be going back to school soon. I passed to the fifth grade. I’m glad school will soon be here. I now close with best regards to the juveniles.

Barberton, O. — Tem potom se prav iz src^ zahvaljujem vsem iz našega mesta, onim iz Akrona od društva št. 127 ter zunanjim za obiske v Citizen, bolnišnico, v kateri sem se nahajal en mesec dni. Obiskal me je po naročilu gl. predsednika Paul Bartelna tudi njegov brat Andrew. Prišel me je pogledati iz precej oddaljenega Loraina, skupaj z drugimi, predsednik gl. nadzornega odbora brat John Kumše, pri kateri priliki sva kar na svojo roko odprla in-formalno sejo gl. in porotnega odbora, pri kateri so prišli takoj na dnevni red problemi naše Jednote. Neki dan se je kar tako na tihem prikazal pri meni tudi urednik brat Terbovec, z njemu lastnim šegavim nasmehom, mi brž podal smodko in tudi z njim sva imela sejo. Bolj poredni pa so bili glavni odborniki zbrani na El.vu na letni seji, od koder so mi pošiljali razglednice, na katerih so bile slike, kako velike ribe lovijo tam. Človeku na nogi poškodovanemu, kateri je sam fanatičen ribič, pa se ne more izpod strehe ganiti, pošiljati take rezgledni-ce je glasom postave in regulacij ribičev zločin najhujše vrste, ki zasluži skoro smrtno kazen- in skalpiranje po indijanskem načinu. I hope not, but I may get even with some of you yet. Bolj človekoljubni in obzirni so bili uradniki in pa moji sodelavci iz tovarne, kjer sem zaposlen. Ti so že takoj drugi dan po mojem prihodu v bolnišnico resno ukrepali, kako bi postavili poleg postelje zadosti veliko in globoko posodo napol n io-

BLAGOSLOV ZEMLJE
Q	(Prevedel Rudolf Kresal)
5c=x0e==30z=3:0i==30E30i=c
Proti večeru se je vrnil na Sellanrao, malo večerjal in legel spat. Spal je do poznega dneva, spal in počival, brž ko ne je bil utrujen od sestanka s švedskimi lastniki rudnikov. Šele dva dni za tem je bil pripravljen za pot. Tedaj je bil spet imeniten in visok, bogato je vse poplačal in mali Rebeki podaril srebrno krono.
Izaku je govoril cel govor in dejal: Saj je prav vseeno, da zdaj ni prišlo do kupčije, to se že še vse zgodi. Za zdaj sem obrat tam gori ustavil. To so bili pravi otroci, mislili so, da me bodo za nos potegnili. Ali si slišal, da so mi ponujali pet in dvajset tisoč? — Da, je dejal Izak. — No, je odvrnil Geissler in z eno kretnjo glave vsako sramotno ponudbo in vsako plevo odpihnil daleč od sebe. Svetu tam zgoraj ne bo prav nič škodovalo, če stm spravil obrat do popolnega mrtvila, nasprotno, ljudi bo spodbudilo, da bodo obdelovali svoj svet. Toda doli v vasi, tam se jim bo otepalo. Saj poleti je prišlo med ljudi veliko denarja, za vsakogar je bilo lepih oblek in sladke kaše; zdaj je temu odklenkalo. Vidiš, vas bi bila z menoj lahko v dobrih prijateljskih odnošajih, potem bi bilo morda drugače. Zdaj sem jaz tisti, ki ukazuje.
Vsekakor ni bil videti prav tak, da bi bil imel veliko ukazovati. Ko je odhajal, je v roki nesel zavojček z živežem in njegov telovnik ni bil nič več bleščeče bel. Morda ga je bila za to pot opravila njegova dobra žena z ostankom onih štirideset tisoč kron, ki jih je bila nekoč prejela, Bog ve, če ni bilo to. Ampak zdaj se bo gol vrnil domov.
Geissler na povratku ni pozabil vstopiti v hišo Alcsela Stroma, da bi mu povedal svoj preudarek. Jaz sem o tistem premišljeval, stvar je za zdaj v teku, zdaj ne moreš ničesar ukreniti. Povabili te bodo na zasliševanje in boš moral tam izpovedati svoje... To je bilo samo nekako govoričenje; Geissler nemara sploh ni nič več mislil na stvar. Aksel pa je pobit na vse rekel da. Za nazadnje pa se je Geissler spet napihnil v mogočnega človeka, visoko dvignil obrvi in zamišljeno dejal: Če bom utegnil iti v mesto in prisostvovati razpravi? — Ah da, če bi to mogel! je vzkliknil Aksel. — V naslednjem trenutku se je Geissler odločil: Bom videl, ali utegnem. Doli na jugu imam vsekakor veliko skrbi; toda bom videl, nemara bom utegnil. Za danes zdravstvuj! Stroje ti bom poslal.
Geisslei' je odšel. f Bog ve, če le-to ni bilo njegovo zadnje potovanje v ta kraj?
6
S hriba je dospela zadnja skupina delavcev, obrat je popolnoma zastal, hrib je ležal zdaj tam spet povsem zapuščen.
Tudi zidani hlev na Sellanrai je bil dograjen. Na zimo je bil za silo pokrit z rušami. Veliki prostor je bil razdeljen v posamezne majhne prostore, 'Svetle prostore, mogočno velik salon sredi in veliki kabineti na obeh koncih, da, prav tako je bilo kakor za ljudi. Izak je nekoč na tem prostoru z nekaterimi kozami skupaj prebival v majhni koči; zdaj ni bilo na Sellanrai najti nikake koče več.
Hlev so uredili s predeli, stajami in opazi. Da bi bilo vse čim prej narejeno, sta bila oba zidarja še zmerom tam, toda Gustav je dejal, da lesa ne zna obdelovati in je hotel dalje. Gustav se je pri zidarskem delu izkazal zelo koristnega in je dvigal bremena kakor kak medved. Zvečer je bil vsem v veselje in v izpodbudo; igral je na orglice in razen tega je ženskam pomagal nositi težke čebre k reki in zopet nazaj. Toda zdaj bo odpotoval. Ne, v obdelovanju lesa da se on ne spozna, je dejal. Bilo je prav tako, kakor da je hotel na vsak način stran.
Do jutri bi pač še lahko ostal, je dejala Inger. — Ne, tu da zdaj ni več zanj in da pojde, ker bo imel z zadnjo skupino rudarjev spremstvo čez hribe. — Kdo mi bo pomagal zdaj, kadar bo treba iti po vodo? je dejala Inger in se otožno nasmehnila. — Tedaj pa je urni Gustav takoj vedel za dober svet; imenoval je Hjalmarja. — Hjalmar je bil mlajši od obeh zidarjev, toda nihče od njiju ni bil tako mlad kakor Gustav, pa tudi drugače še malo ne kakor on. — Ah kaj, Hjalmar! je odvrnila Inger zaničljivo. A zdajci se je zbrala in je hotela Gustava podražiti: kajpada, Hjalmar nikakor ni tako napačen. In zunaj na skali lepo poje. — Prekanjenec! je dejal Gustav, ne da bi se dal razdražiti. — Toda čez noč da vendar lahko ostane, je menila Inger. — Ne, potem da zamudi spremstvo.

O, zdaj se je bil Gustav stvari naveličal. Saj je bilo imenitno, da jo je tovarišem ispred nosa pobral in jo imel tistih par tednov, ko je delal. Toda zdaj je hotel dalje, za drugim delom, morda h kaki ljubici domov, to so bile nove nade. Kaj naj bi se bil zaradi Ingre klatil tukaj, brez dela? Imel je tako dobre razloge, da napravi konec, da je morala Inger pač spo::nati. Ali postala je tako drzna, na kako odgovornost ni mislila več in se ni za nobeno stvar več brigala. Hudo dolgo to med njima ni trajalo, ampak tako dolgo vendarle, dokler je trajalo zidarsko delo.
Inger je bila res žalostna, da, v svoji pregrešni zvestobi je šla tako df.leč, da jo je bolelo srce. To zanjo ni bilo dobro. Ona ni onegavila, bila je odkrito in pošteno zaljubljena. Ne, tega se ni srtmovala, bila je uporno mogočna ženska, polna slabosti, bila je le, kakor ji je ukazovala njena narava, bila je polna jesenskega ognja. Ko je za Gustava pripravljali živež, so se ji prsi dvigale od silnih čustev. Ni premišljevala o tem, ali ima pravico do tega in ali je kaj nevarnosti, predala se je vetru postala hotna, da bi se naslajala, uživala. Izak jo lahko še enkrat (dvigne tja do stropa in jo potem spet sune na tla, — kajpada, yzdržala se kljub temu ne bi.
> Šla je s svojim živežem in mu ga je dala. Ob stopnice je kila postavila čeber, katerega bi naj Gustav zadnjikrat pomagal jiesti k reki. Nemara mu je hotela še kaj reči, nemara kaj Stisniti, zlati prstan, Bog ve, vse bi si lahko človek mislil. Toda Sternu mora biti zdaj konec, Gustav se je zahvalil za živež, ji Voščil z Bogom in šel. In je šel.
L Tam je stala.
F Hjalmar! je glasno zaklicala, prav brez potrebe glasno. Zve fcelo je kakor kljubujoč radosten vzklik, kakor klic na pomoč.

Priznanje zapadu
Po zaključeni drugi mladinski konvenciji JSKJ smatram za svojo dolžnost ,da se zahvalim in dam javno priznanje našim društvom po zapadu, posebno v državi Colorado, za izredno a-gilnost tekom mladinske kampanje. Nisem pričakoval, da se bodo društva in člani tako navdušeno odzvali mojemu klicu na delo. Menda ni treba poudarjati, kako vesel in ponosen sem bil, da se je naš zapad tako postavil.
V prvi vrsti moram izraziti zahvalo in priznanje vsem tistim aktivnim članom in članicam pri mojem društvu sv. Jožefa, št. 21 JSKJ, ki so bili tako rekoč prvi, kateri so pokazali drugim, kod vodi pot v Ely. Takega rekorda društvo št. 21 JSKJ še nikoli prej ni pokazalo in lahko je v rešnici ponosno nanj. Upam, da tudi v bodoče ostane v prvih vrstah naših najbolj aktivnih društev.
Pa naš prijatelj Anton Gaber, tajnik društva sv. Alojzija, št. 78 JSKJ v Salidi, Colorado! Tudi on je tekom minule kampanje tako rekoč prekosil samega sebe, saj je sam nabral dovolj novih članov? da je kvalificiralo pet delegatov za mladinsko konvencijo. Dobro vem, da njegove agitacijske poti niso bile z rožicami posute in dobro vem, da je moral prestopiti mar-sikako poleno, ki mu je bilo vrženo pod noge. Toda kot pravi junak, kakršne more producirati le naš zapad, se naš Tone Gaber ni ustrašil nobene zapreke, in tako mu je uspelo, da je iz male slovenske naselbine in primeroma malega mesta Salide poslal pet delegatov na mladinsko konvencijo. To je več kot smo mogli pričakovati največji optimisti. Vsa čast in priznanje!
V Trinidadu, Colo., pri društvu št. 84 JSKJ so se izkazali sobrat j e Karcich, Prunk, Tro-jak, Lipec in še nekateri drugi, katerih imen ne vem, in so mi poslali kar štiri mladinske delegate v varstvo. V Trinidadu in okolici doseči kaj takega ni bila igrača, zato zaslužijo tamkajšnji požrtvovalni sobrati in so-sestre odkritosrčno priznanje. Potrkati je bilo treba na marsikatera vrata in žrtvovati mnogo časa, gasolina in nedvomno mnogokrat tudi drobiža. Toda Trinidad je v polni meri rešil svojo čast in čast J. S. K. Jed-note.
Morley, Colo., je mala naselbina in dvomljivo je bilo, da bi mogla kaj dosti prispevati tekom naše kampanje. Toda naš agilni Stanley Jakovich, predsednik društva št. 140 JSKJ, je s pomočjo drugih sobratov in šosester zbral dovplj novih članov, da je bilo društvo zastopano na mladinski konvenciji po svoji delega.tinji. Klobuk doli pred takimi člani in članicami!
Vračajoč se proti domu naj se še malo ustavim v mestu Pueblo, Colo., pri društvu št. 42 JSKJ. Ob času mojega prejšnjega po-seta v Pueblu so se tamkajšnji sobrati izrazili, da tam ni dosti mladine in da bo težko spraviti dovolj novih mladinskih članov skupaj za kvalificiranje enega delegata. Pa so tudi tam mene in najbrž tudi same sebe prijetno presenetili s tem, da so nabrali dovolj novih članov za dve delegatinji. Vsa čast in prizna-
Ely. Naj živi naš zapad in še posebej naša srebrna država Colorado!
še to pred zaključkom: Važno je, da novo pridobljeni člani tudi ostanejo v naši Jednoti. O-stanite v stiki z njimi in jim pri vsaki priliki povejte in ponovite, da so zavarovani pri eni najboljših organizacij v Ameriki!

3. glavni podpredsednik JSKJ. \ ________________
Nekaj pojasnila
Sestra Mary Bernick od društva št. 144 piše v glasilu z dne 28. julija t. 1. med drugim: “Pred seboj imam Novo Dobo z dne 9. junija, v kateri je priobčena razsodba glavnega porotnega odbora: 162-260. člani gl. porotnega odbora bodo morda rekli: “Pa kaj to tebe briga, saj se razsodba ne tiče tvojega društva!” Res, da se ne tiče mojega društva, vendar se čutim prizadeto pred člani istega društva.” Dalje piše ta sestra: “Pred seboj imam pravila, ki smo jih sprejeli na 15. redni konvenciji JSKJ lansko leto. čitam točko 4-a), b) in c), pa mi nikakor ne gre skupaj z razsodbo glavnega porotnega odbora, kajti prepričana sem, da potrebujemo delavske izobrazbe.”
nje!
Pohvalo zaslužijo društva o-ziroma agilni člani in članice v državah Wyoming in Montana, kateri državi sta bili v soglasju s številom članstva tudi dovolj častno zastopani na drugi mladinski konvenciji JSKJ. Naš zapad se je oficielnemu pozivu h kampanji in mojemu posebnemu klicu sijajno odzval. Rešil je svojo čast kot dragocen teritorij JSKJ in rešil jedrno j o čast kot spremljevalca, ker mi je zbral in opremil tako številno armado naše mladine, da sem jo res lahko s ponosom vodil na
Nasledno ni odgovor sestri Bernick. Niti ni zagovarjanje nas gl. porotnikov (ice), pač pa se čutim dolžnega dati pojasnilo članstvu, da bode isto pravilno tolmačilo naša pravila. V prej označeni razsodbi gl. porotnega odbora se je šlo zato, da se razsodi, da-li je ali ni Prosvetna matica politična ,in protiverska organizacija in da-li smejo naša društva postati člani iste in jo s članarino podpirati, ne da bi kršila pravila naše Jednote. Gl. porotni odbor je razsodil, da je Prosvetna matica v zvezi s politično stranko in^da je deloma tudi protiverskavystanova. Točka 4 v naših prflvilih pove, da v vrstah naše Jednote ni mesta za kako strankarsko politiko ali versko propagando. Točka 448 se glasi, da nobenp društvo naše Jednote ne sme izdajati svojega denarja v kake verske ali politične svrhe. Točka 374 pove, da nobeno društvo ne sme podpirati kako versko ali politično propagando. Sestra Bernick pa je najbrž imela dvom, da-li je gl. porotni odbor pravilno razumel pravila. Najbrž je mislila, da jih ni, in da nam podtočka c) v točki 4 daje dovoljenje podpirati take ustanove, kot je ona prej omenjena. Tolmačiti pravila nima pravice gl. porotni odbor, pač pa le gl. odbor, kot je to določeno v točki 69 in katera se glasi:
“V slučaju, da kaka točka v pravilih ni dovolj jasna, ima glavni odbor oblast isto po svojem prepričanju tolmačiti, in če sta za tolmačenje glasovali dve tretjini glavnih odbornikov, tedaj je tolmačenje postavno in ostane v veljavi do prihodnje konvencije.”
V informacijo sestri Bernik in vsemu ostalemu članstvu in da ne bode glede tega nepotreb nih mogočih argumentov med članstvom, naj bo tukaj povedano, da je glavni odbor na svoji seji dne 1. februarja 1937 tolmačil naša pravila tako, da je podpiranje Prosvetne matice z društvenim denarjem kršitev pravil naše Jednote. Podpisanemu se je v preteklosti očitalo, da so objave razsodb gl. porotnega odbora preobširne, Pa kot se vidi, bi bilo treba iste Še bolj raztegniti in še bolj podrobno pojasnjevati, da bi jih vsi razumeli.
Sestra Bernik je tudi prepričana, da mi potrebujemo delavske izobraze. Najbrž je mislila, da potrebujemo za delavca koristne izobrazbe. Našemu glasilu se je tudi že očitalo, da premalo piše o delavskih problemih. Glede teh dveh predmetov hočem pisati prihodnjič, ker sem prepričan, da je tudi glede tega potrebno se kaj več pogovoriti, da se bodemo bolje med

Fran Milčinski:
Parte
Ne vem, kako je to, da mrtvaška oznanila ali parte tako rad pišem. Za parte mi je nebo naklonilo poseben dar. Vsi tako pravijo in mi čestitajo, da imam za parte veliko večji dar kakor na primer za drame. Poezija je pač nebeški dar — nikdo si ne more izbrati, kakšen dar da bi rad imel. Nego nekateri dobe dar za to, nekateri za to — vsak pisatelj ima svoj dar in se po tem vsakemu pozna, kam pri njem muza moli taco.
Zadnjič sem bil bolan. Precej bolan. — Mislim, da sem bil. Zdravnik mi je strogo prepovedal sleherno kegljanje in ka-jo — to me ni preveč bolelo, ker sploh ne kegljam in ne kadim. Dovolil pa mi je slatine vsak dan eno žlico — to me je bolj vznemirilo. Pa sem legel v posteljo, premišljati sem pričel minljivost sveta in sestavljati svoj parte.
Parte sestavljati ni majhna reč. Prvič mora biti parte umerjen po človeku. Jaz nisem Ci-brov Jaka ali Taradajev Fida ali kateregakoli kovača pes. Pa mi mdra biti tudi parte umer-( jen po mojem kopitu. Tega ne-! kateri ne vedo in potem imajo parte s predolgimi hlačnicami, takega, da bi si ga lahko pod pazduho zapeli. Ali pa imajo star, ponošen parte, kakor da so ga kupili v starini ali na farov-ški licitanti. S takimi parte igrajo jako slabo figuro!
Drugič ne sme biti parte kramarski pofelj, ampak mora biti tak, da ga ljudje čitajo z zanimanjem in ga potem lepo iz-strižejo iz novin in spravijo, da jim bo za zgled in vzorec! ob potrebi. Kar se mene tiče, j moram reči: jaz rajši sploh ne bi umrl, kakor da imam pofelj parte!
Ležal sem torej v postelji in si sestavljal parte, pa sem jih sestavil kar več, da bodo za vsak primer na razpolaganje in izbero, da ne bo zadrege zastran njih.
No, stvar se je potem zasukala, bile so reči in razmere — kratko povedano: ta hip pri nas za parte nimamo potrebe. Zato jih ponujam naprodaj — zaradi pomanjkanje prostora — ali kakor se reče: occasion. Ve_ liki occasion! Oddajo se parte tudi posamič! In so pripravni za takojšnjo uporabo, edino le ime bo izpremeniti! Resni interesent je se vabijo, da si jih tukajle ogledajo!
