REVIZIJA BRTTSKE IN AMERIŠKE P0-UTIKE V NEMCUI Bevin naglaril potrebo kooperacije « »ovjeti VA2NI RAZGOVORI V BERLINU London, 23. dec. — Ameriška odločitev glede ustavitve pošiljanja strojev in druge industrijske opreme iz zapadne Nemčije v Rusijo predvideva revizijo •britske in ameriške okupacijske politike v Nemčiji, ki je bila začrtana na konferenci velike trojice v Potsdamu. Amerika in Velika Britanija sta na tej konferenci dali zagotovilo Sovjetski uniji, da bo dobivala reparacije v obliki strojev iz okupacijskih con v zapadni Nemčiji. Odločitev o reviziji britske in ameriške okupacijske politike je padla po polomu konference zu nanjih ministrov štirih velesil v Londonu. Povzročila je ugibanja o možnem razpustu zavezniške kontrolne komisije, katere sedež je v Berlinu. Britski uradni krogi izražajo bojazen pred razpustom komisije. Velika Britanija se še ni odločila za ustavitev plačevanja reparacij Rusiji kljub ameriškemu pritisku, ker bi to lahko re-zultiralo v sovjetskih reprisali-jah. Po polomu londonske konference sta Velika Britanija in Amerika naznanili, da bosta podvzeli korake, da bodo industrije v zapadni Nemčiji prišle v okvir Marshallovega načrta, ki predvideva potrošnjo sedem-L^li uernberg, Nemil J s. 23- dec. eko- —Priedrich F najst milijard dolarjev im nomsko okrevanje in rehabilitacijo šestnajstih držav v zapadni Evropi. Britski zunanji minister Bevin je na sestanku z ameriškimi časnikarji ponovno naglasil, da so vrata odprta Rusiji in drugim državam v vzhodni Evropi za kooperacijo z zapadnimr silami. Dostavil je, da bo le kooperacija ustvarila pogoje miru v Evropi. / Važni razgovori so se pričeli v Berlinu. Tam sq se sestali general Lucius D. Clay, ameriški vojaški governer, general Brian Robertson, britski vojaški governer, in člani njunih štabov. Predmet razgovorov je politična in ekonomska združitev okupacijskih con v zapadni Nemčiji.

Na parniku je bilo 800 židovskih beguncev. Vsi bodo deportirani na otok Ciper, kjer je taborišče za židovske begunce. Anderson objavil seznam špekulantov i — Predložen je bil senatnemu odseku Washington. D. C.. 23. dec.— Poljedelski tajnik Anderson je objavil seznam špekulantov na žitnih borzah. Seznam uključu je 711 firm in posameznikov, med temi 181 iz Chicaga. Objava ni povzročila senzacije. Kot vodilni špekulant je omenjen Edwin W. Pauley, svetova lec predsednika Trumana in uradnik vojnega departmenta. Nadaljnji je Ralph Davies. Kakor Pauley, je bil tudi Davies oljni magnat v Californiji. V vojnem času je bil Davies pomožni vladni direktor oljne produkcije, ki je spadala v območje takratnega notranjega tajnika Harolda L. Ickesa. Amerika nima zakona proti špekulacijam na borzah. Preiskavo je odredil kongres po objavi poročil, da nekateri vladni uradniki delajo profite kot špekulanti na žitnih borzah. Seznam imen špekulantov je bil predložen senatnemu odseku za apropriacije. Med firmami je Anderson, Clayton & Co. v Houstonu, Tex., katere glavni delničar je bivši državni podtaj-nik Clayton. Nemški magnat spoznan za krivega Poljsko sodišče obsodilo 27 nacistov Flick, bivši direktor največjega jeklarskega, železarskega in premogovnega imperija v Nemčiji, je bil na obravnavi pred ameriškim vojaškim sodiščem spoznan za krivega izkoriščanja zasužnjenih tujih delavcev in ropanja po državah, ki so bile pod okupacijo Hitlerjevih oboroženih sil, in obsojen na sedem let ječe. Sodišče mu je uključilo v kazen dve leti in pol zapora po aretaciji. Otto Steinbrick, glavni Fli-ckov pomočnik, je bil obsojen na pet let zapora, Bernhard Wis, Flickov nečak, pa na dve in pol leta zapora. Trije drugi Flicko-vi pomočniki so bili oproščeni. Obravnava proti obtožencem je trajala šest mesecev. Krakov, Poljska. 23. dec.— Vrhovno ljudsko sodišče je obsodilo 23 nacistov, bivših častnikov elitne garde, na smrt. Vsi so bili spoznani za krive zločinov proti človeštvu, katere so izvršili kot nadzorniki jetniške-ga taborišča v Auschwitzu. Obtožnica jim je očitala, da so mučili in umorili več tisoč jetnikov. Žrtve so bile Poljaki, židje in Rusi. Med obsojenci je Max Grabner, bivši upravitelj taborišča. vrhovno sodišče odločilo v prilog zamorskim kurjačem WaahlngtoB—(FP)—Zvezno vrhovno sodišče, ki je odločilo v K'log zamorskim kurjačem na južnih železnicah, se je postavilo "a stran pravice. Odločilo je, da zamorski kurjači in drugi za morski železničarji imajo pravice do povišanja pri njihovih delih. l astniki južnih železnic so se upirali povišanju zamorskih delavcev na podlagi pogodbe z ne "dvisno unijo strojnikov, kurja-(ev in inženirjev, ki prepoveduje povišanje zamorskih kurja-ipv in inženirjev. Prizadeti so bili tudi drugi zamorski delavci. uposleni na južnih železnicah. Vrhovno eodišče Je podprlo odločitov apelatnega sodišča, ki je že prej podalo svojo razsodbo v prilog zamorskim delavcem. ' nijaka pogodba, ki Je zapostavljal a zamorske delavce, je bila *k len Jena a predstavniki železnic v sled pritiska delodajalcev. Zadeva za posta vi jsnja zamor skih delsvcev je prišla na dan. ko je Tom Tunstall, zamorski delavec, vložil tqžbo na spelat-nem sodišču proti železniški družbi Norfolk Southern in zahteval tisoč dolarjev odškodnine. Sodnik John Parker Je podal obtožbo, v kateri Je naglasil. da je zadevna provizija v pogodbi protipostavna in diskrl-minacijska, ker bazira na pred sedkih proti zamorcem Odlok vrhovnega sodišča pomeni, da bodo odslej zamorski kurjači in drugi železničarji imeli iste prsvice do povišanja kot belopoltni ¿jelavcl. bodočnost snpj je odvisna od komunisti članstva Sugestije od nekaterih članov in odbornikov lokalnih društev, ki jih urad prejema, češ, da bo treba kmalu uposliti stalne zastop nike za pobiranje asesmenta od članov, po vzgledu privatnih in-šuranc družb, če bomo hoteli članstvo obdržati v jednoti, niso preveč razveseljive z ozira na bodočnost organizacije. Tak sistem, če ga bomo prisiljeni vpeljati, ne bi pomenil noben korak k napredku, kajti kooperativna ustanova se ne more primerjati s privatnim podjetjem, katerega princip je dobiček. Organizacija, ki je lastnina članstva, more uspešno napredovati Te tedaj, ako članstvo razume važnost in potrebo svoje ustanove, Je aktivno za njeno porast iz naravnega nagnenja aH načela in ne izključno vsled materialnih koristi. Bratska podporna organizacija lahko služI svojemu članstvu v dva namena: v gmotno podporo za slučaj bolezni, nesreče aH smrti in duševni razvoj za spoznanje resnice in potov, kateri vodijo do blagostanja ter gospodarske stabilnosti vsega ljudstva. Te važne naloge vrši naša jednota, zato smatramo, da je nam tudi neobhodno potrebna. Kadar na splošno pričnemo s pobiranjem asesmenta od članov na njihovih domovih, tedaj bomo med planstvom ubili vsako zanimanje za društvene seje in organizacijo vobče, ki zna postati le še ena več inšuranc družb, brez načela all vpliva. Dalje je treba povedati, da pobiranje asesmenta od hiše do hiše po zato postavljenih zastopnikih bo maralo tudi plačati članstvo in nihče naj ne misli, da bi v takem slučaju zadostovale plače, kakor jih sedaj prejemajo društveni tajniki. Stalno nastavljeni zastopniki za jednoto v omenjene svrhe bi prejemali tudi stalno in za življenski obstoj primerno plačo. Zakaj pa mislite, da si agenti, ki prodajajo 2ivl]ensko| zavarovanje, toliko prizadevajo prodati one vrste inšuranc, katerega premije aH prispevki so najvišji? Mnogi ljudje kajpada ao mnenja, da zato, ker je dotična zavarovalnina, ki jo zastopnik najbolj priporoča, tudi najbolj primerna za prizadetega, čemur pa nI tako. Oni skušajo predvsem prodati zavarovalnino, katera je sanje najbolj dobičkonosna, takozvani "endowment", ali po gotovih letih izplačana gotovina. Zanje ni vprašanje potreb« vale zavarovalnine, ki jo skušajo vsiliti, kakor tudi ne, če vam jo bo mogoče zmagovati s plačili, ampak njim je za življenski obstanek, s katerega vidika tudi lovijo svoje kaline. Pri bratskih podpornih organizacijah ni tega! Društvenemu odborniku ali članu naše jednote, kateri je na agitaciji za novimi člani, Je pač vseeno, kakšno *avarovainlno si kandidat izbere, glavno je, da se novemu kandidatu temeljito pojasni vrednost in pomen raznega zavarovanja, o priapevkih itd., ker dotičnik ne spravi ničesar od novega član«, izvztmši kakšnega malega priznanja aH odškodnine za stroške z agitacijo.

Naši društveni odborniki, posebno nekateri tajniki in člani, vrši jo tako dobro Člansko agiUcijo za jednoto, da je zelo dvomljivo, če bi jim bil v tem oziru kos tudi najbolje plačani zastopnik. Poleg tega so pa tudi aktivni v razširjanju naukov, ki jih zastopa naša organizacija, kar čestokrat pomeni mnogo več nego materialna pomoč. Vsled tega smo mnenja, da Je naša dolžnost, ako želimo ohraniti to našo ustanovo, dokler nam bo ista potrebna, da ohranimo sedanji sistem pobiranja mesečnih prispevkov od članov, članom se pa priporoča, da naj bodo bolj točni s svojimi plačili in da rjaj nikar preveč ne pričakujejo od tajnikov. Ker povečini tan.ikl prejemajo le neznatno odškodnino za svoje odgovorno in ne posebno prijetno delo, je dolžnost vsega članstva, da Jim gre na roko s tem, da točno In brez posebnega opomina plača svoj mesečni asesment. Če se bomo vsi držali tega principa, ki bo tajnikom omogočil lažje poslovanje, bo tudi lažje dobiti člane za t«J- niški posel. _ Bratje in sestre!

Kitajska. 23. dec.— Največje bojišče v kitajski ci-vilni vojni je sedaj dolina ob reki Jangtse, 200 in 300 milj za-padno in severozapadno od Nan-kinga, glavnega kitajskega mesta, kjer je sedež vlade genera-lislma Članga Kalšeka. Potek operacij narekujejo komunistične mobilne kolone, ki ne razkrivajo svojih namenov. Znano je, da je glavno bojišče |kkj dominacijo komunističnih sil. Razplet operacij zakrivajo cenzura in zavajalna poročila, katera objavlja ministrstvo narodne obrambe. Kalšekova vlada Je vznemirjena zaradi komunističnih operacij na ozemlju v bližini Nankinga in šanghaja, ki sta glavni bazi njenih oboroženih sil. Umakniti je morala čete z več front in iz province šantung. Očitno je, da vlada ne more ustaviti komunističnih sil, čeprav objavlja poročila o uspehih. Te se svobodno kretajo in napadajo postojanke vladnih čet. • Glavna komunistična sila, katere poveljnik je general Liu Počeng, je zbrana v bližini gorovja Pieha, 50 milj severno od Hankowa, velikega mosta ob reki Jangtse, in vzhodno od pro-gf železnice Peiping-Hankow.

Obsojal jo je Palniro To gllattl, vodja komunističnc\uan-ke, zagovarjal pa Carlo Sforz zunanji minister v vladi premi-erja Alclda de Gaaperlja. Zanikal je trditev, da se Amerika vmešava v notranje zadeve I talij«. Togliatti je v svojem govoru obdolžil Jamesa C. Dunna, ameriškega poslanika v Rimu, da je šel preko svojih dolžnosti v po skuslh, katerih cilj Je organiziranje protlkomunlstične fronte v Italiji. "Caanlkarji na plačilni listi gotovega poslaništva zastrupljajo ozračje z neprestanim klepetanjem o ameriški pomoči Italiji," je dejsl. "Zakaj Sforza ne protestira proti Dunnu, ki potuje po Italiji, snuje organizacije industrijcev proti delavcem In skuša dobiti pristaše in podpornike za protlkomunlstlč* no fronto?

Panama, 23. dec.—Člani narodne skupščine so soglasno zavrgli že sklenjen in podpisan dogovor z Ameriko, da slednja dobi v najem 14 vojaških baz na panamskem ozemlju v interesu obrambe Panamskega prekopa pred možno ogre-aljo. Skupščina nI hotela ratificirati sklenjenega dogovora. To je Izzvalo veliko veselje v panamski prestolnici. Več tisoč ljudi se je udeležilo pohoda po ulicah. Vzklikali so "Dogovor nI bil ratificiran!" Situacija je *.daj taka kot je bila 1, septembra lanskega leta, ko jo Panama obvestila ameriško vlado, da je veljavnost dogovora, kateri je bil sklenjen leta 1042, potekla.

Zopet smo v letnem časji, ko si ljudje po vsem tako zvanem krščanskem svetu voščijo srečne božične praznike in veselo novo leto. V Ameriki je tudi "Miklavž" izredno zaposlen te dni in božična trgovina v polnem cvetju. V tej deželi je slednja sploh postaja hrbtenica božičnega praznika, ki je postal predvsem praznik daril. Marsikdo si najbrže želi, da bi imeli več takih praznikov. Posebno pa si tega gotovo želi nežna otroška duša, ki ima z Miklavžem največje veselje. Težko je seveda za one starše, lahko tudi za sinove in hčere, ki jim gre trda za življenje, kajti njihov Miklavž je reven. V resnici je tudi v tej bogati deželi stotisoče revnih družin, ki Miklavža poznajo le kot lepo legendo. Njih slumskih stanovanj se popolnoma izogne, kajti če ni cvenka, ni tudi božičnega drevesca, ne daril, ne Miklavža, ne ničesar. (V starem kraju nam je vsaj lešnikov pa šibo prinesel .. .) Pri teh izobčencih človeške družbe ni drugega kot le revščina, sama velikanska revščina, in sicer ne samo za božič, marveč vseh 365 dni v letu, leto za letom. Pri teh brezpravnih in tlačenih sta božič in Miklavž le velika bol, ki jim razjeda dušo in jih opominja na—izobčenje, manjvrednost in krivičnost. Ni čudno, ako se mnogi r.a dnu potope do absolutne nižine človeške eksistence, bolj odporni in energični pa se skušajo izvleči iz nižin tudi z ziočin-stvom; «prvega z malim, toda vedno večjim ziočinstvom. Vzglede za to dobivajo iz svoje okolice, iz svojega mesta in dežele, iz dnevnega tiska, radia in Hollywooda. Da, tudi iz tako zvane "boljše" družbe, ki je nasičena z bolj rafiniranimi raketirji, ki imajo lahko na svojj strani tudi postavo. * Da, božič je tukaj, ko odmevajo širom tako zvanega krščanskega sveta one velike in lepe besede: "Mir ljudem na zemlji . . ." In sicer odmevajo že od pamtiveka, toda tako zvana krščanska civilizacija je človeštvu prinesla vse kaj drugega, samo miru ne. Res ao tudi druge, nekrščanske in predkrščanske civilizacije po znale vojne in poti jarmi janje, tfeia naša tako zvana, krščanska civilizacija jih v tem barbarstvu aaleč, daleč prekaša, in sicer ne samo v našem stoletju, marveč tudi v preteklosti. V eni roki križ, v drugi meč. .. Vse to radi pohlepa po bogastvu, po tuji zemlji in zakladih, radi želje in navade izkoriščanja človeka po Človeku. Ti mene, jaz tebe. O božiču bova pa oba zapela: "Hozana na v*avah .. Mir ljudem na zemlji .. ." Res čudna taka civilizacija, pa naj se imenuje krščanska ali poganska, zapadna ali orientalska. Gotovo je, da o krščanstvu kot ga mi pojmujemo ni v dominantnih krogih te civilizacije, pa bili cerkveni ali posvetni, ne duha ne sluha. O da, na jeziku ga je dovolj, srce je pa prazno, odnosno nasičeno s strupom, hinavstvom, lažjo, zavistjo, pohlepom, sovraštvom, machiavelstvom. Vse to predvsem radi slabe, napačne vzgoje, nezdravih okolščin, bolne in krivične človeške družbe, ki sloni na izkoriščanju človeka po človeku Odpravite slednje in človek se bo dvignil na novo stopnjo civilizacije, ki ne bo krščanska samo na jeziku, marveč tudi v svojem bistvu. Potem bo izginila tudi revščina in vojna in mnogotera socialna zla, ki razjedajo dane« ne samo zapadno, marveč tudi orientalsko, indijsko in afriško civilizacijo. Toda pogoj za doacgo take civilizacije je v tem, da izgine vsa privatna svojlna, ki služi izkoriščanju človeka po človeku. Ta pot je težka in trnjeva in dolga, toda je edina pot, po kateri bo moglo priti človeštvo iz bolne kapitalistične in laži-krščanske civilizacijo. * * Mir ljudem na zemlji, ki so dobre volje .. . Naša največja želja je, da bi v prihodnjem letu ta mir in dobro voljo našla predvsem naša velika, bogata in z vsemi krasotami obdarjena Amerika. Po toje imamo za mir in dobro voljo samo, če hočemo, odnosno če hočejo oni, ki so na krmilu in gospodarji dežele. Izgledi za to so žal zelo majhni. V resnici jih ne vidimo in so torej te naše besede le pobožne želje. Vendar se jim ne moremo in ne smemo odreči, kajti življenje brez ti h želja in upov bi bilo bjez pomena. , Ironij« vseh ironij je v tem, da se po vojni zdaj že tretjič razlega po deželi velika pesem o miru ljudem na zemlji, toda tega duha kot tudi dobre volje je danes manj v Ameriki nego kdaj izza Pal-inerjeve histerije. V »lični histeriji se Amerika nahaja tudi da nes. v histeriji, ki že meji na blaznost. Človek se vprašuje, zakaj. Mar U histerija izvira iz strahu pred Rusijo? Mar Iz strahu pred —komunizmom? Mar iz strahu pred novo depresijo, pred negotovo bodočnostjo? Mar iz strahu pred novo vojno? V kolikor ta strah izvira ud Rusije in komunizma, je brez vsake bistvene stvarnosti. Mi smo globoko prepričani, da Ameriki atrani Rusije ne preti nobena nevarnost ne v bližnji niti dogledni bodočnoati. In sicer ne iz enostavnega razloga, ker Rusija dan sploh ne more misliti na kakšno vojno, kajti potrebovala bo še leta predno si bo zacelila ogromne rane iz zadnje vojne Drugič bi merali hiti v Moakvi totalno blazni, ako bi samo sanjali o kaki agresivni vojni proti Ameriki. V resnici je lahko Rusija v veliki # večjem strahu pred Ameriko, kajti slednja je edina sila. ki je dane« sposobna za novo vojno in morda tudi toliko zblazna. da jo prične. Prav tako votel je strah pred komunizmom, kar se Amerike tiče. Tistih 50,000 ali 75.000 komunističnih komarjev, kolikor jih je baje v stranki, so komaj kaplja v 145-mi I »jonskem narodu, kjer pride vaaj pet policajev na vsakega komunista Deželi v resnici preti veliki» večja nevarnoat s strani fašistične reakcije. V kolikor na drugi strani ta histerija Izvira iz strshu pred novo depresijo, novo vojno, iz strahu pred bodočnostjo ameriškega ka pltalizma..je sigurno to, da ta bolezen nt sredstvo, s katerim ae bo dežela lahko izognila lastnim prepadom Ce bo hotela to storiti vsaj do neke meje. se mora čim prej atrezmti in ae »znebiti vsakega strahu, vsakega komunistične«; s in ruskega bsVbava.

Tuška in Milostnika, katera priporočata, da bi se glasilo tiskalo v dveh separatnih izdajah, to je v angleški in slovenski. Br. urednik pa je ugotovil, da je to nemogoče in tudi pravila SNPJ tega ne dovoljujejo. Naj še jaz spregovorim k temu nekaj besed. Znano mi je, da je, precej mladih članov, kateri razumejo slovensko in čita-jo dopise in druge novice. Na drugi strani pa je prav tako veliko starejših članov, ki razumejo angleščino in jo čitajo. Torej mnogi stari člani čitajo tudi angleško sekcijo Prosvete. Če pa bi glasilo razdvojili, potem pa starejši člani ne bi vedeli. kaj delajo pri angleških društvih, mlajši pa ne, kaj delamo pri slovenskih. Vsi smo pa pod istim gospodarjem. Da, prišla bo izprememba in bo glasilo tiskano večinoma v angleščini, ampak sedaj še ni čas za to. Strinjam se "z, br. Barbičero, kateri priporoča, da bi se prve štiri strani tiskale v angleščini, zadnje štiri pa v slovenščini. To bo dalo več veselja angleško govorečim članom in izprevidili bi, da gremo stari k zatonu in bo prišel čas, ko bodo oni morali prevzeti vodstvo in gospodarstvo SNPJ. Naj še omenim, da smo imeli 10. decembra pogreb člana našega društva Josepha Krzna rja. On je bil ubit na bojišču in pokopan v Belgiji, in sicer 13. oktobra 1. 1944. Stric Sam pa je na željo staršev dal izkopati truplo in ostanke so pripeljali v Lincoln. Pogreb je bil veli časten. Udeležilo se ga je veliko občinstva in tudi precej članov našega društva. Pokojni zapušča starše in dve sestri, vsi člani društva 116 SNPJ. Pokojnikov oče je bil doma blizu Gornjega Grada pri Novi Sttfvi. mati p% od Rajheiv burga, Slovenija. Globoko s<* žalje!

USTANOVITEV PRUfiTVA 315 SNPJ IN DRUGA VPRAŠANJA Canton, O.—Kdo je ustanovil društvo 315 SNPJ v Cantonu, O.? To hočem opisati, ker me v to sili lokalna potreba, obenem pa se bom dotaknil nekaj, kar bi bilo koristno za nas vse. Bilo je leta 1916, ko je vstopil v šendo, kjer sem pri mizi obiral trde žile in napol kuhane kosti, neki meni tedaj še nepoznani rojak. Bil je Blaž Odar. Dejal je "V bližnjem Cantonu sem se namenil ustanoviti s pomočjo vas, rojakov, društvo pod okriljem SNPJ." * % ' Društvo je bilo ustanovljeno leta 1916. Od ustanoviteljev so pri društvu še trije, in sicer: Blaž Odar. njegova soproga ip Anton Križman, ki je bil prvi predsednik. Društvo je bilo veliko let jako aktivno in v njegpvih vrstah je vladala harmonija. Prav tako so bile mesečne seje živahne in (-meli smo velike priredbe. Neke nedelje se je pa smer napredne misli in harmonija spremenila v mrtvilo, v katerem še daneb hira. Tisto usodno nedeljo je nekdo presekal društvo 315 na dvoj*. Pojavila se.je pole* originalne številke še ena. Od tu naprej naj piše kdo drugi, zato ker jaz sem vedno sodeloval. Da bo vsakdo razumel, naj rečem, da le v skupnosti in iskreni kooperaciji se doseže uspeh v malih naselbinah. V dvem jarmih en voz ne more kreniti nikamor. Napredek je torej mogoč le v enem društvu po malih naselbinah. Naša mladina ni to. kar hi morala biti. namreč ni tako aktivna pri društvih, kot bi radi videli, da bi bila. Da zainteresiramo našo mladino v naše stvari, je potrebna kooperacija od strani staršev, samo s tarnanjem pa ne bomo prišli nikamor. V marsikaterem društvu že' poslujejo v angleškem jeziku ! Torej, zaka) imamo dvoje an | gleško poslujoči društvi v naši in v drugih naselbinah? V ta-kih primerih bi želi več uspeha ! če bi se društvi združili. .

Vabimo vse delničarje in splošno občinstvo, da pride v Slovenski narodni dom in pričaka novega leta. Kakor lansko leto, tako bo tudi letos SND odprt vsem brez vstopnine za ples in jestvine zastonj.

Organizacija SANS je važna za vse ameriške Slovence in za naše rojake v stari domovini, zato je važno, da se udeležite prihodnje seje v velikem številu in tudi vsi tisti, ki še niste člani naše organizacije. Danes stojimo pred velikimi vprašanji. Pomoč stari domovini je še vedno nujna. V 1. 1948 bodo tudi volitve in nam ne sme biti vseeno, kdo bo nas zastopal v kongresu. Videli ste, kako porazno so izpadle za nas vse zadnje volitve, če pa bomo stali indiferentni ob strani, se bomo znašli pa še v slabšem položaju. Torej pridite vsi na sejo, da se pogovorimo o tekočih problemih. Voščim vesele božične praznike in srečno novo leto vsem čitateljem Prosvete in članom SANSa Frank Modlc. tajnik.

O. — Na letni seji druftva V boj 53 SNPJ so bili izvoljeni sledeči uradniki in zastopniki za 1 V946: Predsednik Frank Barbič, podpredsednik j John Šorc, tajnik Joseph F. Dum, 15605 Waterloo rd., bla-' gajoik John Zaic, zapisnikar : Anton Jankovic (?). JNadzorni-jki: Frank Završnik, pit^isednik, • Louis Lemut, Jos. Logar. Društveni zdravniki fo vsi slovenski zdravniki v bližini Vratarja Peter Lukovnik in John Starman. Zastopnika za cleveland-sko federacijo Matt Felrovjch in F*ar\k Zavrsn.k, za izletniško iarmo SNPJ John Šorc in John Zaic, za podružrJco 48 SANSa Matt Petrovich in John Lokar st. Društvo bo tudi v bodoče ob-državalo svoje seje vsako drugo nedeljo v mesecu v Slovenskem delavskem domu na Waterloo rd. Društvo je odstopilo dvorano v prid Slovenski zadrugi, katera bo obhajala svojo 35-letnico v 1. 1948. Naša običajna prireditev se vrši drugo nedeljo V mesecu novembru, ker pa to delavsko podjetje ni moglo dobiti dvorane, je nas naprosilo, če bi odstopili dvorano, kar se je Zgodilo. Druga društva seveda tega niso boteja storiti. Naše društvo bo pa imelo piknik na izletniški farmi tretjo nedeljo v jujiju, tako da bomo imeli vseeno vsaj eno prireditev. Na letni seji smo sklenili prispevati $100 za boj proti črni reakciji, ki hoče uničiti naš svobodni tisk. Društvo bo še nadalje ostalo član podružnice 48 SANSa, prav tako Prosvetne matice. Razpravljali smo tudi glede ustanovitve krožka SNPJ. V bližnji bodočnosti bodo pozvani glede tega na posvet vsi uradniki okoliških društev SNPJ. V prihodnjem letu bomo tudi skušali organizirati večje število. kegljaj&kih. skupin, Jcajti sedaj imamo samo eno. S športom skušamo zainteresirati našo mladino v splošen fraternalizem in za seje. Potrebno je, da začnemo uvajati mladino v naše društvene vrste in odbore, kajti starejši ne bomo mogli več dolgo voditi društva. Starši, opozorite svoje otroke na društvene seje in jih navdušite za društvene aktivnosti. Udeležba je bila prilično po-voljna in upam, da bo članstvo prihajalo v tako lepem številu tudi na seje med letom Velika udeležba je vzpodbuda tudi za društvene uradnike. Saj ni lepšega kot pohiteti enkrat na mesec na društveno sejo in pomagati s nvojimi idejami do izboljšanja društva. Torej ne pozabite na mesečne seje! Vsemu članstvu Želim srečno novo leto! J. F. Durn, tajnik. PO LETNI SEJI DRUŠTVA SLA VIJE IN SILVE STROVA VESELICA Ckicago, I1L—Društvo Slavija nosi št. 1, torej je naše najstarejše društvo SNPJ. Domnevam, da je na mestu podati nekoliko poročila o poslovanju, napredovanju in nazadovanja našega društva v teku leta 1947. ]S takimi poročili dobimo pogled i v splošno situacijo naših društev in naše jednote. Seveda. I vsako posamezno društvo se , razvija po svoje, vsako ima svoje individualne križe in težave, tako tudi naše. Tajniki mnogih društev tožijo, da stari člani umirajo, novorojenčkov pa ni, torej je nazadovanje logična posledica. Tega problema zaenkrat nimamo pri našem najstarejšem društvu. V letu 1946 sta umrla samo dva člana, v letu 1947 pa sa-| mo eden, rojenih pa je bilo več, tako da smo z njimi nadomestili izgubo Upam. da bomo tako srečni tudi v bodočnosti, kajti naši člani so po večini sicer stare, a trdne korenine! Društvo sicer ne zaznamuje velikega napredka v članstvu, ampak glavno je, da ni izgub. Napredovali smo v teku leta za pet članov, kar za najstarejše društvo ni ravno slabo Napredovali bi bo-1 Ije. toda nekaj članov, se je pre-j selilo v Califomljo Arizono, nekaj pa jih je vzelo prestopne li-' ste k angleško poslujoči m društvom. \ • Skozi vse leto ni bil ne suspendiran pe črtan niti ^n član, odstopil pa je eden. Tudi glede financ ni slabo. V teku zadnjih 11 mesecev se je blagajna oja-čila za $257.00. Kakor pri večini društev, tako sxpo tudi pri nas izvolili po večini stare odbornike, izvzem-ši podpredsednika, in sicer: Frank Zaitz, predsednik, John Šprohar, podpredsednik, Milan Medvešek, tajnik, Anton Udo-vič, blagajnik, Peter Bernik, zapisnikar, Valentin Meršol, reditelj. Društveni zdravnik dr. Zavertnik. Nadzorni odbor: Joško Oven, John Jurečič in John Trojar. Zastopnika za centralni odbor či-kaikih podružnic SANSa Anton Garden in Milan Medvešek. Zastopniki za federacijo SNPJ za Chicago in okrožje: Frank Zaitz, Frank Alesh, Milan Medvešek, Caroline Macerle in Joseph Vidmar. Bolniški odsek* Milan Medvešek, Anton Udovič in Math Pintar. Udeležba na letni seji je bila dobra, blizu 60 članov, vendar pa manjša kot lansko leto, ko se je udeležilo nad 70 članov. Po seji smo imeli nekoliko zabave. Sedaj pa nekaj resnih besed o veselici društva Slavije, ki se bo vršila na Silvestrov večer, 31. decembra, v dvorani SNPJ. Prvotno smo nameravali določiti obvezno vstopnino za slehernega odraslega člana in članico, toda mnogi smo bili pre-Dričani, da je članstvo toliko lojalno društvu in se bo vseeno udeležilo veselice. Prepričan sem, da nas ne bo razočaral noben zdrav član in članica in da boste vsi pohiteli na starega leta večer v dvorano SNPJ. Odbor bo skrbel za dobro postrežbo. Za ples bo igrala izvrstna Debevčeva godba. To pot bomo servirali tudi v zgornji dvorani, v katerj bomo postavili mije., Ka veselico vabimo tudi vse naše prijatelje in prijateljice od sosednih društev, od Nade in Pionirjev, Vitezov in Ferrerjev, Rožnika in Victorians, s severne in južne strani mesta. Seveda, vabimo tudi naše Ciceronča-ne in Berwynčane. Torej na veselo svidenje na starega leta večer! MIlan Medvešek. tajnik. GLEDE DVOJEZIČNEGA GLASILA ' Barberton. O.—Zadnje čase je bilo objavljenih več konstruktivnih razprav o jednotinem glasilu. * Tudi jaz se strinjam z br. Tuškom, naj bi odpravili skupno dvojezično glasilo. Vsak član naj bi prejemal glasilo le v enem jeziku, bodisi v slovenskem ali pa angleškem. Glasilo naj bi se tiskalo na štirih straneh, enkrat na mesec pa na osmih in v tej mesečni prilogi naj bi bila objavljena vsa poročila glavnega in bolniškega tajnika, tako bi bila uradna poročila skupno objavljena, ne pa separatno, kot sedaj, ko je priobčeno nekaj poročil v vsakem glasilu. Vse uradne številke je težko hraniti, laže pa bi bilo enkrat na mesec. Tajniki in drugi uradniki morajo večkrat pogledati v glasila, v katerih so bila objavljena razna uradna poročila. Ne strinjam pa se z urednikom, ki priporoča, da bi odpravili poročila o bolniški podpori, operacijah, smrtnini itd. Ta poročila so potrebna za objavo, kajti večkrat se zgodi, da ae vso-}a nakazane bolniške podpore ne ujema z vsoto, ki jo ima vpisano društveni tajnik. Torej je potrebno, da se jariobčuje v glasilu vse uradne stvari, kakor do sedaj Na letni seji smo imeli veliko udeležbo, da že dolgo ne Uko velike Izvoljen je bil ves stari odbor, zato smo sejo hitro končali.

Navzoči so zastopniki sledečih društev: 16, 104, 192. 234. 584 747 in 764. Poročila zastopnikov: Za društvo 16 poroča br. Jenko, da bodo imeli kartno zabavo in vabi na udeležbo, zaeno pa poroča, da je umr- ' lo pet članov, katere pa so nadomestili z novimi. Br. Puncer po-roča za društvo 104, da bodo imeli zabavo na starega leta večer in vabi na poset. Seje njihovega društva so obiskane jako povoljno. Br. Puncer tudi povabi vse na koncert pevskega zbora Naprej. Za druitvo 192 vabi sestra Vasil na njih 35-letnico in poroča, da je umrla sestra Krivetz; pridobile so tudi nekaj novih članic. Za društvo 234 poroča br. Ermenc, da gredo vedno naprej in da imajo tudi blagajno precej močno. Poroča tudi, da je br. Fritz prišel domov iz bolnišnice, kar se z veseljem vzame na znanje. Za društvo 584 poroča sestra Ermenc, da bodo imeli ples in nas vabijo na udeležbo. Omeni tudi, da < njihovo društvo podpira idejo za . federacijski ali skupni dom, ako pa I ne bomo šli naprej z delom, bodo šli pa sami zase. Za druStvo 747 poroča br. Tamshe. da je vse po ?tarem in da so njih seje slabo obiskane. Za društvo 764 poroča br. Dobnick, da bo 23. novembra koncert Lilije in vabi na poset. V teku enega leta so pridobili preko 40 novih članov. Navdušeni so to zaidejo za skupni dom, ako pa ne bo nič. bo pa društvo Lilija samo kupilo svoj dom. Zastopnik Prosvete poroča svoje težave in pravi, da ima več naročnikov nečlanov kot članov jednote Tajnik in blagajnik sta tudi izročila oglas za $5 za Družinski koledar. za kar se jima da priznanje. Tajniku se naroči, da piše na vsa federacijska društva, da izvolijo prvovrstne zastopnike, ki bi ae u-deležili vsake federacijskc seje. Nato se preide na vprašanje, ali bi imela federacija kartno zabavo. Br. Rupe predlaga zabavo, sestra Oven podpira, nakar je predlog sprejet. Zabava se bo vršila v dvorani br. Ružiča V mesecu februarju. Br. Gornik priporoča več aktivnosti in uspeh bo zagotovljen. Br. Dobnick se strinja z njim, prav tako drugi. Direktorica mladinskega krožka sestra Ermenc poroča o konferenci. ki se je vršila v Clcvelandu Vpraša tudi, ali bi smela nastopiti s krožkom na prireditvi Slovenske ženske zveze.

V deželi vlada velika draginja in grozi biti v bodoče še hujša, kar dela delavskim slojem silne skrbi in poraja stavke. Izgledi za bodočnost ameriškega delavstva so temni. Ljudje, ki razpolagajo z bogastvom in imajo glavno besedo pri vladah ter odločajo glede miru, si prizadevajo le, kako bi nagrabili še več in več ter svoje bogastvo ip vpliv še bolj utrdili. To povzroča nemire in nezadovoljstvo doma, po svetu pa mednarodne komplikacije in diplomatske spore, ki vodijo v osvajalno vojno. To je vzrok, da se ljudstva sovražijo in koljejo med seboj še naprej. To je vzrok, da se zavezniki ne morejo sporazumeti in da mir z večino prizadetih držav še ni sklenjen kljub temu, da je druga svetovna vojna končala že pred dvemi leti; da je namesto miru za te praznike toliko sovražne propagande in hujskanja za tretjo svetovno vojno in blatenja proti vsemu in vsakemu, kdor se s tem ne strinja. To je tudi vzrok, da je toliko hujskanja in umazane propagande proti naši stari domovini in vsem tistim državam, katerih ljud stva so tekom zadnje svetovne vojne in strašnega trpljenja malo bolj na široko odprla svoje oči in spregledala, kaj je prav za prav pravi vzrok krvavim vojnam in vsemu nepotrebnemu zlu in trpljenju ljudstev na svetu, pa zdaj poskušajo uvesti bolj pravičen in pošten gospodarski red, v katerem bo res omogočeno, da bo vladal trajni mir in bo lahko dobre volje vsakdo, ki dela in po svoji moči doprinaša za ljudsko dobro. . Misel, iz katere izvirajo naše božične navade in praznične želje, ima svoj izvor v preprostem ljudstvu iz davnine in je v principu zdrava ter dobra. Toda ako hočemo, da bodo lepe besede, izra žujoče božične misli, v resnici kdaj kaj pomenile in da ne bo ostalo samo pri besedah kot je bilo vse od početka krščanstva pa do sedaj, tedaj se moramo pobrigati, da se bodo tudi v praksi izvajale in ne samo pri nas, temveč povsod! V tem času navadno vselej radi pogledamo malo nazaj in pomoti imo svoje delo v ravnokar zaključenem letu. To velja za nas kot poedince in kot člane društev. Kar se tiče jednote, se je naše članstvc dobro izkazalo v preteklem letu. Po svoji moči je pomagalo, da smo napredovali na članstvu in premoženju, skrbelo je za potrebne prireditve in se udeleževalo slavnosti, podpiralo naše publikacije in našo pomožno akcijo za stari kraj, društva in posamezni člani so lepo in lojalno sodelovali z glavnim uradom, zakar jim gre od naše strani najlepša bratska zahvala. Ob vstopu v , njon leto pa se zavzemimo, da bomo tako nadaljevali, da bomo ostali lojalni in delavni za jednoto naprej ter ji poskušali pridobiti v tem letu še več novih članov in zagotoviti več vsestransko zdri-ve^a napredka! Zavedajmo se, da s tem, da pomagamo bolnim in skrbimo za člane v nesreči in potrebi, da pomagip»a potrebnim tu in v star domovini ter podpiramoTasne ustarfoveynamenjene napredku in koristim splošnega človeštv^rflma >rfajboIj plemenito delo in smo vsled tega upravičeno ponospiTda smo člani velike bratovščino SNPJ!

Mtchoel Se lan, predsednik. Glasovi iz naselbin IZ MILWAUKEEJA Milwaukee, Wis. — Na Silve strov večer navadno gremo kam, da se poslovimo od starega leta ter pozdravimo novega. Letos bo ta špas- precej drag, drag za tiste, ki ne vedo, da bo društvo Št. 104 SNPJ priredilo prijetno domačo zabavo v Kraljevi dvorani. Medtem ko bodo drugi ljudje drago plačevali za puhlo zabavo, se bodo wcstalli-ški sosedje prav po kraljevsko "unterholtali", in to za malo in nizko ceno. Le pomislite, dobra večerja, kateri bo sledil ples ob zvokih dobre godbe, bo stala samo en copak in petdeset centov! Westalliščani pravijo, da bodo tam v velikem številu, toda vseeno bodo našli še dovolj prostora za nas, Milwaucane, ako pridemo tja pravočasno, to je okoli osme ure zvečer. Kaj pra-vUe k temu ostali Milwaučani? Ali bi ne bilo lepo, če jih gremo obiskat ob slovesu starega leta? No, le pojdimo, saj nam bodo tam dobro postregli! . V nedeljo, dne 28. decembra, bo Sansova seja pri Rebernišku. Na to tudi ne smemo pozabiti, kakor tudi ne sosede iz West Allisa. No, saj vemo: drug drugim moramo delati, ker roka roko umiva.

Wla.—Članstvu društva 273 SNPJ naznanjam, da se bo vršila društvena seja v nedeljo, 28. decembra, začetek ob dveh popoldne v novi dvorani (North Star Pavillion). Opozarjam članstvo, da je dolžnost slehernega, da se udeleži te važne seje, kajti na dnevnem redu bomo imeli razne zadeve, med njimi volitev društvenega odbora za prihodnje leto. Pridite in si izvolite uradnike po svoji volji. Opozarjam vas, da se misli stari tajnik odpovedati temu uradu, kar je krivda članov, ki redno ne plačujejo društvenega asesmenta. V zad njem letu je bilo toliko članov suspendiranih in črtanih, da je sramota za društvo. Ob zadnjem novem letu t* štelo naše društvo 150 odraslih članov in 132 mladinskih, sedaj pa imamo še 145 članov v od raslem oddelku in 113 v mladin skem. V tem letu je pristopilo v društvo 11 odraslih in osem mladinskih članov, tako da bi morali imeti sedaj 301 člana obeh oddelkih, faktlčno pa jih imamo samo 258. Torej nazadovanje za 41 članov v teku e-nega leta. Noben opomin in nobeno svarilo nič ne pomaga in ko pride čas za pošiljatev denarja v glav ni urad, navadno še ena tretjina nima plačanega asesmenta Kaj naj tajnik stori? Ali na; #re od hiše do hiše prosit za asesment? Za to Ujnik nima rej ima vsak član priliko plačati kateri koli dan v mesecu. Tajnica je moja hči in dftsti-krat založi nad $100 za neplačani asesment. Z zalaganjem asesmenta sem izgubil že lepo vsoto in me je to sram komu povedati, ker se mi povrhu še smejejo. Neka članica pa mi je dejala, češ, da ne gre to iz mojega žepa, ampak iz društvene blagajne. On naj pride kar knjige pogledat in bo dobila odgovor. Na letni seji bo tudi vprašanje društvenega asesmenta. Sedaj plačujemo po 10c od člana, toda menim, da lahko ta ases ment opustimo, kajti blagajna je na precej dobri podlagi, da bi pa kdaj postavili svojo dvorano, pa nima pomena, kajti sedaj i-mamo Že lepo in prostorno dvorano, katero lahko dobimo vsak čas za malo odškodnino, bolje rečeno zastonj.

Mesec december je važen za društva in klube raznih organizacij, kajti volimo odbornike za prihodnje leto in podana so letna poročila o pregledu dela v prošlem letu. Zato pa je važno za članstvo, da se udeleži vsaj letne seje in poda svoje sugestije in priporočila za bodoče leto. Slovenski delavski dum bo imel svojo delničarsko sejo 28. decembra ob treh popoldne, to je prihodnjo nedeljo. Važno je, da se udeleži seje sleherni delničar. Slišali buste poročilo o napredku SDD v letu 1947. Nekateri delničarji še niso bili v kljubovih prostorih, odkar so prenovljeni. Sedaj imamo moderno baro in mize. Vsa oprava je stala približno sedem tisočakov, danes pa bi stala toliko samo bara. V tem letu smo skoraj napredovali za kritje stroškov nove opreme, in to kljub temu, da nas je le majhna skupina, ki deluje pri SDD. Vzlic temu pa nismo vsi zadovoljni z napredkom in je vedno kaf narobe. Pri Slovencih je menda že navada, da radi lovimo ono, kar je ušlo, ne znamo pa držati tistega, kar imamo v rokah. No, počasi pa vseeno napredujemo. Na zadnji delničarski seji smo razpravljali o možnosti združi' tve s Slovenskim narodnim do mom in da bi zgradili skupni slovenski dom «a vso detroit sko naselbino. To je važno vprn šanje za nas vse. Torej udeležite so prihodnje delničarske se je, kajti (ako važni zaključki so lahko sprejeti le tedaj, če je ve lika udeležba. Dom je last nas vseh, zato je potrebno, da se vs udeležimo vsaj letne seje. Ture na svidenje v nedeljo, 28. decembra!

At this meeting officers for the following year mere elected. Anton Florencic was elected chairman, John Çastellich Sr. remains vice chairman and Frank Supansic the treasurer for another year. Peter Baloh, our past financial secretary, had to give up his job due to thé illness of his wife and his work coming on night and day shifts. Sorry to see you give it up, Pete, for you were doing a swell job. Joe Beltz has been elected your new financial secretary. I'm hoping that I am able to take care of the job as the past secretaries have. With your cooperation we may make a go of it. Once again the SNPJ Lodge' of Claridge has entered a bowling team in the Claridge Businessmen's Tenpin League. Although our boys are not leading this league we certainly make our presence known. It's just too bad we cannot get the boys at the alleys together every week for their work makes it impossible or we wouldn't take a back seat for anyone. Captain Whitey Koter would be looking down at a few other teams. The boys really look good in their new bowling shirts. Keep pounding that kingpin, boys, and make Captain Whitey a happy boy. At this time I would like to announce a dance which our Lodge is sponsoring. The dance is to be held on Dec. 26 at the Slovenian Home. The music to be furnished by none other than Frankie Yankovich and his recording Yanks of Cleveland, Ohio. What do you say, members, let's make this dance a real success. Yes, and you surrounding SNPJ towns are also welcome to this affair. Come on out to Claridge and have one good time. Don't forget that's the day after Xmas, Dec. 26. JOE BELTZ. Sec'y.

This meeting was very important to us because of the election. In electing officers it is very important to elect reliable and cooperative people, for it is their job to see that everything goes right in the Circle. In January I will be out of the Circle and I want to urge all the ones under the age of eighteen to join the Circle, because they really will have a wonderful time. I can't express my feelings in a- few words, but I will say that I want to thank all the kids for being so swell and I will be seeing some of the juveniles in the older lodge shortly. We also had some bad news at this meeting. Our Manager, Frances Novak, resigned. Frances will be married shortly and won't have too much time for the juveniles, but she is willing to be Assistant Manager. We would all like to thank her for staying with us so long. Frances really did a lot for us;, we received so many trophies and were tied with Chicago for first place. I know all the kids will miss her not being manager. She really was swell. They haven't really decided who will be the manager next, but I know they will try just as hard as Frances did to bring them in first place again. In the evening a dance was held by the Circle and had a very large crowd. Music was furnished by the Vagabonds (well known on Sunday afternoon Slovene Hour at 4:15). Our Circle had a program on hristmas Eve. and everyone wos invited to come and see it, the kiddies too, for Santa was there, too. December 28 will be another big day down at the hall—a couple of lodges are getting together to sponsor a dance. Music will be furnished by the well known, well liked, none other than the Kobal-Racich orchestra from Girard, Ohio. Come out for a swell time. What's the matter with the out-of-towners such as Girard, Bessemer, Youngs* town and Warren? Snowbound? Car trouble? No way out? There's a bus running, so no excuse. The Kobal-Racich orchestra now has a program of its own, just tunc in every Saturday at 5:30 to station WRRN for some good Slovene music. Also keep In mind New Year's Eve when the Keystoners will have another big affair at the Slovene Home. Everyone is welcomed to come. DOROTHY PAULENICH. Treas.

Many city families are paying 60% of their income for food alone. CHICAGO—At a pooily attended meeting the Pioneers elected the following officers for 1048: Paul Chapman, president; Louis Zorko, vice president; Donald J. Lot rich, sec'y; Ann Vodoplvec, rec. sec'y; Joe Cerkoney, treas.; John Simon, scrgcant-at-arms. Mary Andres, Steve Cerkoney and Anne Bcniger, auditors. Dr. John J. Zavertnik and Charles Neumann were selected as lodge physicians. Meetings will continue every third Friday of the month at the SNPJ Hall. In his remarks Paul Chapman explained that it was an honor to be president of a large lodge such us the Pioneers. However, we find it more difficult for people to understand the real need for fraternal units such as ours. Any individual wanting to amount to something must be alert, energetic and industrious. That applies to organizations as well, The Pioneers can always use officers and members who will perform their duties for the best Interests of the lodge. Congratulations to those who accepted these tasks, because tasks they really are. as« At the meeting, we initiated 10 new memberl to give the Pioneers the largest membership total in our history of 1148—7S1 for the adult department and 417 for the Juvenile department. We have made no Spectacular gains in 1047, but we more than held our own. Medical reports were accepted and a couple of contributions were made. The reporta were short, but we did have some discussions In adopting our lodge by-laws. Anne Cartler won the $2 cash award and Myra An dres the juvenile award, Ida Simon and her committee served refreshments. The chairman will confur with the executive committee and bring in a slate of committees for 1048, at the January meeting. We'll have to deylse means and ways for members of our lodges to learn the need of devoting a certain amount of time and energy for the well-being of our unit. Thut's really the only way wa can cintinue to grow and (prosnar. . tr' * • • Awards to the secretaries for 1047 from the headquarters have already been made, 1 received mine and of course, am appreciative because it will help me plug one of the gaps for dues money advanced and not collected. It seems that every sec retary has this problem. Indeed those who had this Job before our time, explain that they had the same difficulty. It seams to be constant problem In order to retain people in our lodges — More and more money will have to be devoted in the future years for thoae who do these chores because It is becoming ever harder to get competent people to accept this work.— Thoae Pioneers who have not received their gifts at the Juvenile yule party on Dec. 14, should come In during the month of January and pick up their package. We will not hold them any longer than during the month of January, so please come In within that time to the secretary's office at 2010 H. Lawn-* dale ave.

EMMA DERNOVSEK, Sec'y Perfect Circle Yule Program Is Big Success CHICAGO,—Perfect Circle 26, under the direction of Ann Sanno-mann and Edward Udovtch, director and assistant director, respectively, presented another successful Yule program for the local district Federation at the SNPJ Auditorium, Sunday, Dec. 14. The main fcuture of the program was a "Christmas Fantasy" In three scenes, showing an average home, then Santa's workshop, and Santa'a visit at the home. The playlet, In pantomime with voices supplied backstage and heard over the loudspeaker, flows smoothly through the scenes and brings the entire idea to a pleasing conclusion. Of course, the real attraction after the program was Santa himself who officiated at the distribution of gifts to ubout 600 children who with their parents packed the auditorium to capacity, The gifts were many and varied and the heurts of the kiddles were filled with Joy. On top of all this, the children were treated to a free luncheon, which is another annual feature of the Federation. Frolicking and dancing followed in the upper hall, while the adults enjoyed themselves In tne lower hall dancing to tho tunes of lively polka music, An customary at these annual Yule affairs, children held sway throughout the afternoon and evening entertainment and merry making.

P. J. Trojans JOHNSTOWN. Pa-—I am very happy to report at this time that our yearliy meeting was well attended. It was wonderful to aae that so many members realized their responsibility to the lodge, aad sat aside this one night to attend the meeting. Now don't stop attending until the next yearly meeting, for all lodge meetings are important. and should be attended, so that you may taka part in the decisions made by the member* present First of all, I wish to announce the newly elected officers for the year 11*48. Joaeph Culkar, president; Joseph Glavach, vice president; Dorothy Glavach, secretary; Josephine Bujak, treasurer, Elsie Culkar. rae. sec'y; Frances Hocevar and Anne Bricely, auditors. The above mentioned officers all know their duties and X am aure they will carry them out the best way possible and to the best advantage of the lodge and keeping in mind to. do their utmost for the good of the SNPJ as a whole. At the time of publication of this article, Christmas will be over, and I sincerely hope that it was one of your merriest, and all thoughU will be with the celebrating of the coming New Year. That in turn reminds us that we are all planning to spend New Year's Eve with the SNPJ Trojans and take part in the gala celebration that the committee hi charge has planned for us. The affair will take place at the Moxham Slovene Hall, in the form of a dance, with music being furnished by Lou Kopler and his band, starting at 9 p. m. At this time the hall dance floor wiU have been completed and there will be twice as much dancing space, io that there will be room for everybody and their friends. Paper haU. noise-makers, confetti and balloons will be given to everyone, and there will be refreshments galore. At this dance we will determine the winner of our beautiful Zenith portable radio, which has been on dUplay at the Moxham Slovene Hall for the past month. The drawing will be held right after the New Year is ushered in. If you don't have your tickeu as yet make sure you get some before or st the dance. All stubs must be turned in on or before New Year'a Eve. Very few members still owe for their Oct. 11 dance ticket, and the committee would really appreciate it very much if this money would be in as soon as poaaible so that the new committee can start with a clean slate, ao please pay the secretary or the undersigned at your earliest convenience. . Six new juvenile applications were accepted at our December meeting; we now have 139 juveniles and 131 adult members. Keep up the good work, members, we want to become much stronger in number. Our sick members reported at this meeting are Anna Jerovsek, Frank Saksek, and Charles Korber. If possible, pay these sick members a visit, and we all wish them a speedy recovery. A 915 donation was given the American Committee for Jugoslav Relief, as a Christmas gift to the children of Jugoslavia. We felt this was a very worthy cause and the members wholeheartedly consented to the donation. James Trofino was unanimously selected as a candidate for the Athletic Board from our lodge. Having served several times before we felt with his experience, he could ¿till carry on his job aa well as it can be done. We wish you luck on the executive board's selection, and want you to be the athletic director from thia district. Agnes White waa selected as Juvenile Director from our lodge, and she, too, will be very capable, for she has assisted both Ann Bricely and myself on aeveral oceasiona in regard to the Juvenile Circle No. 47 here in Johnatown. Brown and gold were selected as onr lodge colors, and there was quite a lot of deliberation on this selection. The boys wanted blue and gold; since that was the color of their muahball jerseys and the bowlers wanted brown and gold since that ia the color of our ahirU. Discussions such as these, email us they are, add color to our meetings, and we had a little fun over this matter. A final reminder for all of our frienda to attend our gala New Year's Eve eelebration, for the com mittee promises such a time as has never been sponsored in our local ity ss yet Plsn to usher in the New Yesi with the SNPJ Trojsns. ) ELSIE CULKAR. 749.

India—(ALNK-For millions of Indians starvation looms as the current grain shortage grows steadily worse and black marketeers control the bulk of available food. In many places the famine sequence has already begun as peasant women have started to sell their personal possessions. Next they'll sell household utensils and after that perhaps their bodies, to obtain a handful of grain—at black market prices. To ease She crisis, food has been imported from the U. S., Canada and Siam. Exorbitant prices, however, forcast an early end to this stop-gap ship-to-mouth method of survival. In the nation itself some efforts are being made to tighten the procurement and rationing eys-tem but village headmen, landlords and speculators gobble up the produce and sell it on the black market In the Bengal famine of 1943 the graiA shortage was about 13%. the same as today. At that time specu. lators reaped profiU of 1 Mr billion rupees ($500 million) and more than two million people died, a ratio of $250 for each dead body. The prospects are even grimmer for this winter. Starvation in India is, of course, an old story. Before the war approximately 40% of the people received a minimum adequate diet. Another 40% were undernourished and 20% lived under starvation's shadow. Today in New Delhi the grain ration averages about eight ounces daily—800 calories, a third of human needs. There sre a number of reaaons for India's present inability to feed itsel. The rapid population growth, poor transportation from farm to village, drought are all part of the problem. But in the final analysie the cumbersome antiquated agrarian system ia at the root of the evil. Paraaitic landlordism brought on by British rale hss driven pesssnts into s mo; ass of debt and poverty. More half the cultivated land has passed from the fsrmer-owner into the landlord's grasp. Of 80 million farm families, sn estimated 20 mil-lion are sharecroppers, paying rent as high as 90% of the crop, and another 34 million sre Isndless labor ere who till the eoil for s hsndful of grsin.

How much do you know about Universal Military Training? Presi-"fl. nt Truman has announced that he^will a^k Congress to enact a UMT next month "" "" J ' ^ " " ' Since the direct effect of Universal Military Training aid be felt most on young men of high school and college age, we are iVe reproducing a discussion of UMT and our public schools. The •te-rial «as prepared by the.National Council Again Conscription, i iisti I led by Uni vmal Military Training would sup Jleroent and strengthen the efforts 'oi educators. F,l,e "Military discipline, says junior R.O.T.C. Manual, "is intelligent. willing and cheerful obedience to the will of the leader . . . It creates in the individual a de-tj e and determination to undertake and accomplish any mission Signed by the leader." The good teacher sees his job as one of helping to develop individual personalities; alert; questioning, independent, creative. This is precisely what military, training does not do. . Turning over formative youths to military indoctrination will do more to develop a class of nren willing to accept the ■•fuehrer-principle" tha^i any other factor. 2. The primary purpose of UMT j the indoctrination of youth with the military point of view. True. Time after time, military men have admitted that such training is of only doubtful military value, but of incalculable value in instilling the military attitude. General Eisenhower, testifying before a Congressional committee, admitted that in the event of war "physical training will always have to be repeated . . but that "psychological indoctrination and moral training requres the longest time but fortunately is never completely forgotten." 3. Universal Military Training would have no direct effect on educational institutions. False. The War Department's plan now under consideration would call for six months of direct training, followed by six months more of the "equivalent."^ This "equivalent" would mean enlistment in the National Guard or Regular Army, Navy or Marine Corps; specialist training ip approved technical trade or vocational schools; or college education, which must include four years of ROTC. , • 4. Adoption of UMT would result in the militarization of most, if not all. American colleges that admit male students. True. Obviously, if all men of college age are required to take UMT—and there are no exemptions except for extreme physical disability—the large majority of male students certainly would choose colleges with military units in preference to spending another six months time pay is added, and other costs, the total would be $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000. 7. Most educators did not favor adoption of UMT at previous Congressional hearings. True. In spite of the impression given by many of the nation's newspapers that there is only neglible opposition to Universal Military Training, representatives of educational, religious, peace, farm and labor groups were almost unanimously opposed, and were joined by the American Veterans, and at least one large metropolitan post of the American Legion. 8. Adoption of UMT would be the surest defense the United States could adopt at the present time. False. Militarily speaking, as the atomic scientists have repeated over and over again, there is no defense against the kind of weapons now available for war. Certainly a half-trained reserve, requiring many months to mobilize, would be worse than useless against the kind of overnight attack that can destroy every major city in a whole nation. What UMT would do is to turn America's educational institutions into military grist-mills, producing the kind of citizens who are "determined to accomplish any mission assigned by the leader." That is neither free education nor democracy; and must be opposed by those who are "eternally vigilant" in the preservation of freedom.

But war-tin e shortages, rationing and sharp improvement in margarine distribution, brought shout a rapid change In the picture. According to figures supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Internal Revenue, which keeps records liecauat It taxes margarine at a quaiter of a rent a pound to satisfy the butter folks, margarine sales in 1944 were I'p to 366 million pounds. By 1946. this had dropped slight-lv t< 571 million, hut the firat three Quarters of 1947 on the official fig ures showed a total output of 497 pound», Add industry estimates for the remaining three months of this year and you come up with a figure of 701 million pound*.

The armed kidnaping of a volunteer woman organizer at Taliapooaa. Ga., is a case in point. Mrs. Edna Martin, 41, the mcther of six children, went to Taliapooaa to help workers at the American Thread Mill organize a union. At midnight, four men and five women broke in through the window of her boarding house room. They ware armed with shotguns and threatened to kill her if ahe made any outcry. Thrown into the back of an open truck, one woman sat on her while a man bound her hands and stuffed a dirty rag into her mouth. After a wild ride through the countryside, she was dumped out in the woods and threatened with death if she ever returned to Taliapooaa. LABOR HAS RUGGED ROW TO HOE That's just one sample of wha^ labor has to contend with before America will be safe for unioniam. Here's another sample. In July of this year, the Negro employes of the Tyson Lumber Co. at Cairo, Ga., held a meeting for the purpoae of forming a union. While the meeting was in progress, a gang of white men broke in, lined the Negroes up at pistol point and forced them to return to their homes. Armed guards were then posted to see that the Negroea did not leave their homea again that night. It seems almost incredible that such things can happen in America in 1947. But it is hsppening, here snd now. One must wonder, therefore, whether it is more important to send a Freedom Train across the country, or see to it that the U. S. Dept. 6f Justice lives up to its responsibility to protect the Bill of Righto from being tskan for a different sort of ride—as at Tallapoosa and Cairo, Ga. Since passsge of the Taft-Hartley slave labor law, the union-haters have gone hog-wild. The aforementioned Tyson Lumber Co., for instance, has actually informed the NLRB, by notarized letter, that "neither the AFL, CTO nor U. S. government is going to tell It what to do." Folksay down south has It that "they used to kill you for trying to organize a union; now they just knock all your teeth out." But that to over-optimistic. If American labor doesn't close ranks and fight back againat the real enemy, It may have life as well as teeth knocked out of it.

' Although the dairy Interests Insist they are protecting the farmer by fighting margarine, the facto fall to lend support to the argument. Margarine is an agricultural product, being the second largest user of soybean oil and about 25% of all cotton-seed oil, along with substantial quantities of pesnuto and corn oils, not to mention milk. Margarine uses foods from farmers of 44 of the 48 states. Butter, so bravely defended by the corporate dairy lobbies, ia regarded as the low end product of dairy production. Farmers get far less per gallon for milk that goes into butter dhan they do from t*u gallons they sell for fluid milk. Yo»t the corporations make more money on butter than on fluid milk. The interests defending butter from margarine sre not the herd «»wner. but the stockholders of the big dsirles . . . snd the consumer Is beginning now to realize it. Co-op Dep't Store Goal of Cleveland«™ CLEVELAND (CNS)—A cooperative department store is the goal of a group that met hare December 1 in the YMCA auditorium.

The department store project is being planned along the lines proposed by Consumer Distribution Corporstion, which is assisting in the organization of department store co-ops in three other esstern cities. Among the speakers endorsing the idea of the Co-op were A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. Hsrdy Merill of the United Auto workers, and Charles P.

But few outside the mad leal profession know of his pioneer work in combatting chronic illness, that is, illness which lasts over a long period of time. Dr. Boas, an outstanding specialist , ™ ZTT, 7 Z ! these are heart disease, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, nervous and mental illnesa, arthritis, kidney disease, tuberculosia, cancer and diabetes. They are our biggest health problems, but we have only just begun to attack them seriously. Research is one of the great needs if we are to combat the chronic diseases successfully. We have to learn a great deal more about how to prevent them. We must discover more effective methods of treatment. Yet medical research is still being conducted on a horse and buggy scale. As a nation, we spend only $110 million a year for medical research as compared with total of $450 million for industrial research. The federal governmem ia spending only $28 million this year for iredical research as compared with $30 million for research in plant and animal diseases. Moreover, there is no bverall plan of action. As a result, very little may be spent on research In importent diseases while others which are much less significant receive a great deal of attention. For example, heart disease, which is a leading cause of death among school children. kills about 600,(KW persons every year, yet less than $5 per death is spent on research. On the other hand, more than $1,000 per death is spent for research in Infantile paralysis, which kills only about a thousand persons a year. The American people have shown that they want more medical research. They want the federal government to Uke the lead In developing a rnearch program big enough and good enough to achieve real progress in the campaign against the unseen plague, chronic disease. "World Leaders Behave Like Children" By Neil O Garity "Peace on earth, good will to men" will not take place until the leaders of the various nations, including our own. stop acting like children and start to behave like the intelligent adults they're suppose to represent. The word "wsrmonger" Is thrown sround hy everyone. Vlshinsky says we nave many of them right here. Of course we have. And he named a few too, and the ones nsmed are warmongers as they themselves have indicated. There are plenty of people who would like to drop "A" bombs on Russia. These, my friends, are the "warmongers." It's dangerous to gu throwing such tfcreato around without seriously realizing the coi.iequences. Some of our leading newspapers are moat antagonistic toward Russia. This sttitude to one of the primary csuses behind the cold-war.

He hgs written numerous articles and several outstanding books on chronic disease. His influence was to a large extent responsible for the construction of Goldwater Memorial Hospital, a large hospital ¿or chronic illness in New York city. As a matter of fact, it was Dr-Boas' keen interest in chronic disease that led him to support national health ihsurance. He realized that chrorilc illness could not often be attested successfully in the later stages. A person with a chronic diseaserhad to have early diagnosis and treatment so the disease could be Controlled and complications avoided. But one of the greatest obstacle^ in the way of early diagnosis and treatment is th^( coat of medical care. People delay going to the doctor because they cannot afford medical bills.

It has been estimated that at least 25 million persons, more than a sixth of our population, have a chronic disease. Of these, more than seven million have some disability from their illness, and lVfc million are invalids. Chronic diseases cause nearly a million deaths and the loas of almost a billion working days every year. * Our public health departments have succeeded In practically wiping out typhoid fever, cholera and similar diseases through the protection of water and milk supplies.

"The war ended with the armies of the allies meeting in the heart of this community. The policies of three of them have been directed to the restoration of that European community. It is now clear that only one power, the Soviet Union, does not for its own reasons share this aim. "We have become involved in two wars which have had their origins in the European continent. The free peoples of Europe have fought those wars to prevent the forcible domination of their community by a single power.
