RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
PREMOGARSKA STAVKA
Stavka premogarjev, ki je bila dosedaj omejena na vzhodna I polja mehkega premoga, se je pretekli teden razširila še na 13 nadaljnih držav na srednjem zapadu in zapadu. Vsega skupaj je sedaj na stavki skoro pol milijona premogarjev v 21 državah. Federalni department dela si na vso moč prizadeva pripraviti zastopnike premogarjev in operatorjev do sporazuma. Ako ne pride v kratkem so sporazuma, namerava vlada nastopiti v to svrho z javnimi priporočili. Predsednik Roosevelt je izjavil, da blagor splošnosti mora imeti prednost pred koristmi posameznih skupin.
TRGOVSKA ZBORNICA *
Trgovska zbornica Zedinjenih držav predstavlja skupino največjih in najbolj zakrknjenih kapitalistov v tej deželi. Pretekli teden se je vršila v Wash-ingtonu letna konvencija te trgovske zbornice in je sprejela 26 resolucij, ki zahtevajo znižanje davkov, odpravo skoro vsake vladne kontrole nad kapitalom in odpravo skoro vseh gospodarskih in socialnih reform, ki jih je vpeljala sedanja administracija. Z drugimi besedami povedano, kapitalisti bi hoteli deželo potisnili nazaj v dobo Hooverjeve administracije, ki nam je bila prinesla najhujšo depresijo v zgodovini. Kapitalistični Burbonci, se zdi, da vse pozabijo in se ničesar ne naučijo.
LANDONOV GOVOR
Alfred Lanaon, bivši predsedniški kandidat republikanske stranke v letu 1936, ki ga je predsednik Roosevelt porazil, je pretekli teden v nekem govoru v Kansas Cityu izjavil, da kot dober državljan podpira Roosevelta z ozirom na mednarodni položaj, četudi se v gotovih o-zirih s njim ne strinja. Po njegovem mnenju naj bi Zedinjene države vztrajale pri zahtevi, da se mednarodni spori rešijo potom mednarodnih konferenc.
NE MARA ANGLEŽEV Kongresnik Martin L. Sweeney iz Clevelanda, Ohio, si je pretekli teden v svojem govoru v kongresni zbornici v Washing-l.onu privoščil angleško kraljevo dvojico, ki namerava 8. j’-inija letos obiskati Zedinjene države. Sweeney je dejal, da pride angleški kralj v Washington iskati ameriške pomoči za Anglijo v bodoči evropski vojni. Po njegovem mnenju bi bilo pravilno, da bi angleški kralj pri tisti priliki zveznemu zakladniškemu department!! nekaj plačal na račun tistih pet tisoč milijonov dolarjev, katere Anglija dolguje Zedinjenim državam še izza zadnje svetovne vojne. Ob priliki obiska angleškega kralja pa naj bi v parku okoli Bele hiše zakurili velike kresove, kar naj bi nas spomnilo, da so Angleži 24. avgusta 1814 požgali Belo hišo in kapitol v Washingtonu.
LINDBERGHOVO MNENJE Znani ameriški letaleč Charles A. Lindbergh, ki se' zdaj bavi z raziskavanjem prilik in potreb letalske obrambe te dežele, je izjavil, da po njegovem mnenju vojne v Evropi za enkrat še ne bo. Vsekakor se situacija hitro izpreminja in lahko prinese presenečenja.
(Dalje na 4. strani)
Da delodajalec ne plačuje redno zaslužene mezde, se primeroma redko zgodi v večjih ameriških industrijah. V manjših delavnicah ali pa s strani manjših kontraktorjev pa se dostikrat godi, da delavec ne dobiva mezdo pravočasno ali pa dobiva nekaj na račun ali pa je sploh ne dobiva. Gospodar pravi, da nima denarja, da naj delavec počaka. Dostikrat pa nastane spor glede pravega zneska urne, tedenske oziroma dnevne plače. Ali pa delodajalec hoče odbiti kaj, češ da je delavec pokvaril robo ali ni izvršil delo, kakor bi moral.
Dejstvo je, da v večini držav zakon sploh ne dovoljuje gospodarju, da bi pod eno ali drugo pretvezo odklonil plačilo vse dolžne mezde. Skoraj vse države so vzakonile postave da se mara mezde plačevati v določenih dobah — tedensko, polume-sečno ali mesečno.
Večina držav določa, da se morajo mezde izplačevati vsaj polumesečno. Izmed teh držav naj navedemo države California, j Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Mi-1 chigan, New Jersey, Ohio in I Pennsylvania. Država New York določa tedensko plačevanje, daje pa delodajalcu šest dni časa, da poravna plačilo predhodnega tedna; vsled tega je popolnoma prav, ako gospodar plačuje vsakih 14 dni, namreč za prejšnji in za tekoči teden. V državah New-Englanda je tedensko plačevanje zakonito ukazano. Oregon je ena izmed držav, kjer se morajo mezde plačevati vsaj po enkrat na mesec.
Nekaj časa se je dvomilo, dali imajo države pravico vzakoni-ti postave, ki določajo čas, ko se mezde morajo plačevati. Vrhovno sodišče države California je v neki pravdi odločilo, da taki zakoni omejujejo ustavno pravico delodajalca in delavca do svobodnega pogajanja glede načina in roka plačila. Na drugi strani pa je najvišje sodišče države New York odobrilo tako zakonodajo, češ, da ima država interes v blagobitju svojih državljanov, ki mu je najbolj u-streženo, ako delavec . dobiva svojo plačo v rednih in pogostih presledkih. Vrhovno sodišče Združenih držav je potrdilo u-stavnost newyorškega zakona, rekoč, zakon predstavlja pravo-veljavno in primerno izvrševanje policijske obla.sti države.
Večina držav določa kazni za delodajalca, ki ne plačuje redno dolžnih mezd. Te kazni so globe od $25- do $500. V državi New York določa kazenski zakon, da kršitev mezdnih določb Labor law-a je kazenski prestopek, in slučaji, da so bili individualni delodajalci ali člani korporacije, ki so bili dolžni delavcem mnogo denarja,. odsedeli dolge kazni v zaporu, so vse prej kot redki. V nekaterih državah sme delavec <?elo zahtevati odškodnino za škodo, ki jo trpel vsled neplačila mezde.
Iztirjanje mezde je bilo v mnogih državah poenostavljeno. Ponekod so bila ustanovljena sodišča malih zadev (Small Claim Courts), ki na hiter način in brez stroškov obravnavajo mezdne pravde, pri katerih navadno ni treba odvetnika. Društva za pravno pomoč (Legal Aid Societies) v večjih mestih pomagajo izterjati mezde proti malemu odstotku iztoženega denarja. V mnogih državah državni uradi za d§lo (labor departments) odpravljajo izterjanje in obtoževanje delodajalcev. FLIS.
Znanstveniki odkrijejo vsak čas kaj novega na področju medicine. Tako je nedavno dunaj-| ski zdravnik dr. Ferdinand Mat-tausch pronašel, da je izvleček iz omele zelo uspešno zdravilo za osebe, ki trpijo vsled visokega krvnega pritiska. Omela je rastlina zajedavka, ki raste na jablanah, hrastih, mokljah in še nekaterih drugih drevesih. V Sloveniji rabijo veje dotične rastline za izdelovanje omel, iz 'lepljivih jagodic pa delajo otroci lep za limanice. V angleščini se omela imenuje mistletoe in se rabi za božične dekoracije. Stari Druidi so pripisovali omeli čarovniške moči.
Človeško telo vsebuje razne žleze, ki so nekaki kemični laboratoriji za snovi, katere telo potrebuje za normalne funkcije. Ako katera teh žlez odpove svoje delovanje ali če izloča prevelike količine svojih preparatov v krvni obtok, postane oseba na en ali drugi način nenormalna ali pa oboli. Da imamo na primer pritlikavce ali pa nenormalno velike ljudi, je krivo nepravilno delovanje žlez, ki kontrolirajo rast. Pri pomanjkljivem delovanju gotovih žlez morejo zdravniki to delno nadomestiti z vbrizgavanjem gotovih preparatov. Tako vbrizgavanje pa je treba pogosto ponavljati. Na Angleškem delajo pa zdaj poskuse, da bi se bolniku dalo pod kožo večjo količino kristaliziranega preparata, da bi ga telesni sistem rabil po potrebi. Tozadevni poskusi na živalih so se baje dobro obnesli.
Za preprečenje ali zmanjšanje bolečin pri težkih operacijah rabijo zdravniki razna mamila, ki napravijo vse telo ali pa tudi le določen del telesa neobčutljiv za bolečine. Toda proti nekaterim bolečinam niti običajna mamila ne pomagajo. Fran--coski zdravniki pa so zadnje čase iznašli nekak krvni serum, ki ga po kapljicah vbrizgavajo v kri pacienta in ki baje prepreči vsak občutek bolečine.
Iz Anglije poročajo, da so zdravniki iznašli nov način “presajanja” kože na obraz v primerih opečenja ali drugih nesreč. Za presajanje potrebne koščeke kože navadno vzamejo z roke in pronašli so, da se koža lepše prime in bolj gladko zaceli na obrazu, če se jo na ranjeno mesto presadi narobe. V nekaterih primerih pričvrstijo roko k rani na obrazu za toliko časa, da se koža roke priraste na obraz, nakar jo odločijo od roke.
VRTNARSKI NASVETI
Sredi meseca maja je po navadi že tudi po zmerno gorkih krajih našega vzhoda, srednjega zapada in zapada dovolj gorko, da se sme posaditi ali posejati na prosto vse rastline, ki jih je sploh v teh krajih mogoče gojiti na prostem. Seveda, včasih še tudi sredi maja tu ali tam slana posmodi bolj občutljive rastline, in s tem moramo računati. Pomlad je dostikrat zelo muhasta dama.
Vsekakor, v kolikor toliko normalnem vremenu je sredi maja nevarnost slane minila in se morejo na prosto saditi bolj občutljive rastline, kot so paradižniki, fižol, koruza, kumare in buče, kane, dalije ali georgine, klošček (ricinus) in različne v rastlinjakih vzgojene rastline.

V	Nev/ Yorku, ki je na j večje mestu na ameriškem kontinentu, je bila 30. aprila otvorjena največja svetovna razstava, kar jih je še dosedaj bilo prirejenih. Svetovna razstava, ki se je pred par leti vršila v Chicagu, je bila velika, zanimiva in sijajna, toda letošnja newyorška jo daleč prekaša. Razstava v Chicagu je stala 47 milijonov dolarjev, new-yorška pa velja 156 milijonov.
Prostor razstave zavzema nad 1200 akrov, preko istega je speljano 62 milj cest in poti, na njem je zgrajenih 200 poslopij, posajenih 10 tisoč dreves in o-| krog dva milijona grmičev in manjših rastlin. Poleg tega je na razstavnem prostoru tudi precej veliko umetno jezero.
Na razstavi ima svoje prostore in izložbe 58 držav inozemstva, 33 držav naše Unije, dve mednarodni organizaciji, 76 koncesij in 1,354 razstavljalcev. Posameznika, ki si bo hotel ogledati vso razstavo, bo stalo najmanj tri dni časa in $15.00 v gotovini, ker bo mnogo posebnih vstopnin. V tem seveda ni všteta prehrana, ki jo bo ponujalo 310 restavracij na razstavnem prostoru.
Malokatera svetovna razstava se faktično izplača tistim, ki vložijo denar v tako podjetje. Razstava v Chicagu je pa v resnici prinesla okrog 700,000 dolarjev dobička; seveda je to zelo malo v primeri z veliko investicijo. Vsekakor pa je razstava prinesla velik indirekten dobiček mestu Chicagu. Računa se, da so ljudje, ki so prihajali v Chicago na razstavo, pustili v rrjestu okrog 770 milijonov dolarjev, kar je tudi za tako veliko mesto kot je Chicago že prav čedna vsota.
Tudi od newyorske razstave si prireditelji ne obetajo velikega direktnega dobička; morda bo še izguba. Toda mesto New York računa v zvezi z razstavo na kakih tisoč milijonov dolarjev več businessa kot običajno.
Za financiranje razstave je korporacija, ki se je tega podjetja lotila, prodala za približno 28 milijonov dolarjev bon-doV. Mesto New York je prispevalo okrog 27 milijonov dolarjev, država New York 6 milijonov, federalna vlada okrog poltretji milijon dolarjev, posamezne ameriške države pa so prispevale skupno kaka dva milijona dolarjev.
Zanimivo je, da so inozemske države investirale v newyorsko razstavo okrog 31 milijonov dolarjev samo zk zgradbe na razstavnem prostoru. V istih razstavljeni predmeti pa bodo presegali vrednost 100 milijonov dolarjev. Evropske države so bile izprva nekoliko skeptične glede investiranja denarja v razstavi, toda, ko se je izvedelo, da bo sama Rusija zgradila na razstavnem prostoru paviljon za štiri milijone dolarjev, tudi druge države niso hotele preveč skopariti.
Prodaja koncesij za najrazličnejši business na razstavnem prostoru, je prinesla vodstvu razstave 17 in pol milijona dolarjev. To je bilo primeroma lahko oddati, težje pa je bilo dobiti razstavljalce. Vendar z dobro agitacijo se jih je privabilo toljko, da so investirali okrog 30 milijonov dolarjev za razstavo. Avtomobilske družbe so kaj* tekmovale med seboj, katera se bo na razstavi sijajnejše predstavila občinstvu. Sama družba Dalje na 8. str.
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
ŠOLSTVO V SLOVENIJI* Statistični pregled šolstva v Sloveniji, ki ga je za lansko leto izdal prosvetni oddelek banske uprave, izkazuje, da .je bilo lani na ljudskih šolah 176,186 učencev. Ce se k temu številu pri-štejejo še gojenci meščanskih, srednjih, strokovnih in visokih šol, narase število šolarjev nad 200,000. To znači, da skoro vsak peti Slovenec v banovini obiskuje to ali ono šolo. V slovenjegraškem okraju odpade na posameznega učitelja 57 učencev, v radovljiškem okraju, kjer je
v	tem oziru najboljše, pa 39.
SOKOLSKI ZLET
V	Ljubljani se bo letos ns Vidov dan vršil velik jubileju' sokolski zlet v proslavo 70-letni ce prvega sokolskega društva n? slovanskem jugu. Pokroviteljstvo nad zletom bo prevzel kralj ki je oficielni starosta sokolstva v Jugoslaviji.
ŠTEVILNE DRUŽINE j Uprava ljubljanskega dnevni ka “Jutra,” ki je razpisala tri skromne nagrade materam tre! najštevilnejših družin v Slove niji, katere bodo razdeljene o) letošnjem materinskem dnevu je prejela že več prijav. Ena j( od Marije Ivanuševe, posestnice na Topolovem nad Rogaško Sla tinp. Omenjena mati je v, 21 letih rodila 16 otrok, od kateril jih živi še 15 in so vsi zdravi in krepki. Na Stražišču pri Gu. stanju živi družina Jožefa To maža, ki šteje 12 otrok, 10 de klet in dva fanta. V Gornjen gradu živita zakonca Ferdo ir Jera Rifel, katerima se je naro dilo 13 otrok, od katerih jih ži
vi	še 11. Vse omenjene tri družine živijo v skromnih razmerah.
GASILSTVO V SLOVENIJI
V	Sloveniji je 957 gasilskih čet z 31,690 gasilci. V letu 1938 je bilo v Sloveniji najavljenih 668 požarov in le pri 36 požarih gasilske čete niso stopile v akcijo, ker so bile predaleč ali pa niso bile obveščene. Gasilci so s svojim delom obvarovali za 200 milijonov dinarjev imetja.
KNJIGA NA RAZSTAVI Obiskovalcem svetovne razstave v New Yorku bo razdeljeno 200,000 izvodov knjige “Jugoslavija,” ki jo je uredil pisatelj Niko Bartulovič in je bila za obiskovalce razstave prevedena v angleščino.
STOLETNICA POŠTE Poštni promet v nekdanji Srbiji je bil uveden meseca maja 1839, seveda le za omejene proge. Prve poštne znamke za pisma in časopise so bile uvedene leta 1866. Pred tem so oskrbovali poštni promet tako zvani kurirji, ki so imeli določene postaje po državi. Ti kirurji pa so oskrbovali le promet uradnih listin in denarja. Prve take poštne postaje so bile vpeljane v nekdanji Srbiji že leta 1811.
VOJAŠKA KORAČNICA
Jugoslovansko ministrstvo za vojsko in mornarico je razpisalo skladbo vojaške koračnice, ki bi odgovarjala potrebam vojske pri defiliranju čet. Te tekme v komponiranju se morejo udeležiti vsi glasbeniki v državi. Najboljše delo bo deležno nagrade 3000 dinarjev.
VSAK POSVOJE
Amerika ima dva največja teleskopa na svetu, enega v Cali-forniji, drugega v Texasu. Ta dva teleskopa omogočata pogled neštete milijone milj daleč v vsemirje. Astronomi vidijo s pomočjo teh teleskopov stotine milijonov svetov v vesoljstvu, toda na nobenem niso opazili takih bedastih bitij, kot so na majčkenem planetu, imenovanem Zemlja, kjer se najinteli-^entnejša bitja medsebojno pobijajo v skoro neprestanih vojnah.

Nemški diktator Hitler pri vsaki priliki poudarja, da neče vojne in da je vse dosedanje ispehe dosegel brez prelivanja krvi. To zadnje je res. Za Av-itrijo ni bilo vojne, za Memel je ni bilo, za Češkoslovaško je ,ii bilo in tudi za Poljsko je ne 'oo, če se bo omenjena država orezpogojno podala in izročila Hitlerju, kar hoče imeti. Hitler je dosedaj dosegel vse z grožnjo milijonske, moderno opremljene irmade. Tudi povprečni ameriški bandit ne strelja, če se mu zbrana žrtev ne upira, ampak nu pod grožnjo revolverja izroči svoj denar in dragocenosti. Toda, četudi bandit ne preliva krvi, dokler se mu žrtev ne zoperstavi, je bandit vendar grd kriminalec. In kakšna je razlika .ned njim in Hitlerjem!

Sobrat John Malerich, tajnik Iruštva št. 105 JSKJ, v mestu Butte, Montana, me vabi, naj bi se udeležil zlatega jubileja države Montane, ki ga bodo ob-'lajali ob priliki letošnjega praz-,iika Neodvisnosti. Ta proslava 'oo trajala kar 9 dni in bo pokazala Montano tako, kakršna je bila v svojih mladih letih in kakršna je sedaj. Naš severo-zapad bo takrat prikazan v vsej svoji romantični briljanci. Žal, da se vabilu sobrata Malericha zaradi prevelike razdalje in prekratkih počitnic ne bom mogel odzvati, kakor bi se rad. Priporočam pa rojakom, ki nameravajo letos obiskati svetovno razstavo v San Franciscu ali pa ki se nameravajo podati na krajši izlet na zapad, naj pri tisti priliki obiščejo tudi Butte. Montano je vredno obiskati, ne samo zaradi njenih naravnih lepot, ampak tudi zaradi tipične zapadne gostoljubnosti in zaradi vse hvale vredne lojalnosti tamkajšnjih članov in članic napram naši J. S. K. Jednoti.

Imamo tako zvane Slovane, ki pri vsaki priliki, kadar se sedanja reprezentanta nacijske Nemčije in fašistične Italije široko-ustita o nepremagljivosti njunih armad, pritrjevalno pokimajo in spoštljivo klecnejo s koleni. Če pa kak zastopnik slovanske Rusije na sličen način izjavi, da se ruska armada nikogar ne boji, se ti dobri Slovani posmehljivo zmrdavajo. Pošteno bi bilo verjeti vsem trem, ali pa izražati dvom o vojaški moči vseh treh. Dosedaj so vsi trije rabili po večini le besede ter niso imele niti Italija niti Nemčija niti Rusija prilike dokazati nepremagljivost svojih armad v spopadih z enakovrednimi sovražniki.

as she could, with her new friend close to her heels, and asked her father what she had better do about it.
“Dogs like that one don’t just bob up out of the earth,” laughed her father, "he belongs to somebody. I wonder if he could belong to the new neighbors next door?” i:
So together Helen and her father went to inquire.
“Yes, he does belong to us,” said the lady ,who answered the door. “But he hardly ever stays with us. Where we lived before there was a charming little girl next door about as old as you are 1 dear," she added, pointing to Helen, "and Pete played with her all the time.
I He followed her to school and she taught him things and they were the best sort of pals.”
"That explains it,” said Helen's fath-‘ er, smilingly, “but how are we going to ’ keep him away from my daughter. You ( see, she doesn’t like dogs.”
"But I do like Pete!” cried Helen, be-| fore the lady could say a word, “I like ( him so very much and I like him to fol- ( low me around.”
“Then that’s all right,” said the lady;, laughing at Mr. Clark’s surprised look, ‘ 1 “and if Helen will come over after 1 school, I’ll show her the tricks Pete can do.”
That afternoon after school, and many 1
• other afternoons too, Helen went : ‘ straight to her new friend's house and ;
' played with Pete. She learned all the tricks and he learned to do for her all the things he used to do for his other : little friend.
Then one day about a week later, ! Helen's friend Edith came over to play after school. And much to her surprise : i she found Pete.	]
"Why Helen!” she exclaimed, “you s . hated dogs and here's one hanging 1 ' around your front porch.”	■

Why Helen Changed Her Mind
One morning as she was going to school she heard a little pitter-patter on: the walk behind and, turning around, she spied a small dog. He looked up at her in a most friendly fashion and gave two short friendly barks as much as to say, "Howdy do!”
But Helen was not to be moved by such actions—she didn't like dogs. She stamped her foot and said, "go home!”
Helen didn’t like dogs. She wasn’t really afraid of them as she used to be, ; but she didn’t like them. When she was a little bit of a girl, she lived across the ; street from a family who kept a great ; big dog that barked. To be sure the dog never hurt anybody and he was as friendly as could be to little girls. But he did jump around them and bark long ančl loud and Helen didn’t like it. Per-
Franjo ciček:
PALČKOVE PRIGODE j
Palček Bobek se je bil izgubil od svo- i je:;a prijaznega doma v veliki mušnici j v gozdu in ni mogel več najti poti do-! m jv, ker se nikoli ni hotel učiti zem- ! Ijt pisja. Ujel ga je cigan Baron Geza,! ki ga je v prostem času držal zaprtega | v Icletki s škorcem, ob večerih pa ga je j je nal s seboj v gostilne, kjer je moral i ge stom kazati svoje umetnosti.
Tisti večer je moral spet v gostilno s cifjanom. Geza je postavil palčka Bobka na mizo in deca je kar silila in se tiščala nr prej, da vidi majcenega palčka. Bobek je pokazal vse, kar ga je naučila kobilica, ko je bil še doma. Skakal je in se pc stavljal na glavo, hodil po rokah in se zvijal v klopčič. Cigan mu je držal tf.ako bilko, pa je splezal po njej kakor veverica in postavil na vrhu živ hrast. To so mu ploskali. Je privezal cigan še na drugo bilko nit in jo nategnil.
‘Juhu,” je vzkliknil Bobek in pričel; p! izati po vrvi. Take je gonil po niti, da J je. ljudem kar sapa zastajala.
-Je postavil Geza še škorčka na mizo.; M-lo je zapel škorček, kakor da sanja o zlati svobodi. Potem je s kljunom prijel Bobka in si ga posadil na hrbet. “Klanjam se!” je pozdravil gledalce. ‘Jaz tič, ne mič,” je grgral, “vi vi, de- ; nc.rja ni! Hihi, mi vsi, fifi, din, din,' dinarji!” In skupno z Bobkom sta zape- j la:
y “Včasih je luštno b’lo,
zdaj pa ni več tako . . .”
Je koracal škorček h krožniku in se priklonil: “Dinar, prosim!”
So šli ljudje kakor v cerkvi pri darove nju okrog mize in metali dinarje, pai trdi pare, na krožnik. Vsakemu se je škorček priklonil:
‘Hvala. Dalje, prosim!”
Tačas pa je potegnil cigan Bobka s; škorčka in mu šepnil na uho:
“Tale mož, ki tam sedi in pije pri n.izi, ima v desnem hlačnem žepu pol- j ro mošnjo denarja. Idi, splezaj mu v j ž ;p in vrzi mošnjo na tla. Jaz jo bom f 7i hitro pobral.”
"Kradel ne bom,” je zakričal Bobek,
• t.iko da so ga vsi slišali. Je postal baron Geza bled kot stena in preden se 33 Bobek zavedel, pri čem da je, je že 1 ičal zopet v kletki skupno s škorčkom. i Jigan je pobasal denar, pobral svoja šila in kopita ter jezen racal domov.
“Takole. Zdaj pa prideš ti na vrsto,” je rekel in potegnil Bobka iz kletke. "Ti i»m že pokazal, kdaj ne boš kradel.
Tako ubogaš svpjega šefa?” 	;
"Saj znate sami'denar delati in ga loviti, kjer koli ga hočete, čemu' bi po-oem kradel?" se opravičuje Bobek.
“Kuš!” se je zadrl baron, “to je moja reč in ciganska umetnost. Da boš pa prihodnjič vedel, kaj se sme in kaj ne, dobiš sedaj nagrado.” In ga je pretepel, da je Bobek milo jokal in klical mamico na pomoč. Brez večerje ga je zaprl nazaj v kletko.
“Hudobni so ljudje na svetu,” je mo-droval škorček in s kljunom božal Bobka. “Cesar sam ne želiš, tudi drugemu ne stori! Ta nauk ljudje vse premalo uvažujejo.”
“Kako pa si ti prišel k ciganom?” ga je vprašal Bobek in si obrisal solze.
“To je žalostna povest,” odvrne škorček in se zamisli: "Komaj se še spominjam. Moji starši so imeli čedno hišico na tepki. Pet otrok nas je bilo. To je bilo življenje. Taki kričači in nikdar siti. Očka in mamica sta nam od ranega jutra do poznega večera nosila črve, polže, ogrce, tako mastne in debele, da jih je bilo veselje pogledati, kaj šele pohamati. Redili smo se in rasli kakor konoplja. Drug drugega smo porivali * iz gnezda in vlačili za rep. Vsak je hotel biti pri luknji in gledati v božji svet. Jaz sem bil najbolj poreden. Vsekdar, kadar sta očka ali mamica prinesla kaj dobrega, sem porinil bratce in sestrice vstran in široko zinil, tako da je bila mojega kljuna polna luknja. In hočeš nočeš — pečenka je smuknila v moj želodec.
Nekoč opazim tik pod našo hišico debelo gosenico. Lepo počasi, kakor kakšna gospa, se je zibala sem ter tja,in motrila, kateri list bi bil boljši.
Hu, si mislim in pogledam svoje peruti. Na tole vejo pa že upam skočiti. Rečeno storjeno. Frk, se spustim. Tisti mah prileti očka in začne kričati. To me je tako zmedlo, da nisem opazil veje in sem telebnil v mehko travo. Očka je obupno kričal na hruški in me klical nazaj.
Počeni, odskoči in razpni krila! me je učil. Vse zaman. Skakal sem po travi sem ter tja, dvigniti se nisem zital. Pa pridejo mimo ciganke s torbami.
Potuhni se, skrij se v travo! je vpil .očka. Da bi ga bil ubogal! Pa sem skakal kakor neumno žrebe na pašniku in ciganka me je zagledala.
•Hejaho!’ je zavpila. Mlad je*še in rejen. Bo ravno prav namesto piške.’ Bežal sem, ciganka za menoj. Skakal sem sem ter tja. Ni me mogla dobiti. Pa šent baba odveže veliko ruto in hop jo vrže preko mene. Bil sem ujet.
O, kako je vpil dobri očka. Prosil je rotil je ciganko. Nad glavo ji je letal in milo prosil. Naposled je postal hud in se pričel kregati. Baba pa se je režala in celo pobrala kamen.
Od takrat nisem videl ne očka, ne mamice, ne bratcev in sestric. Ciganka mi je hotela doma zaviti vrat, pa se je obregnil cigan:
Kaj še! V kletko z njim. Dresiral ga bom. Škorci so pametni ptiči!’
Tako, vidiš, dragi moj palček, sem ostal pri ciganih ,ki so me izučili za ko-medianta. Večkrat se mi toži po zlati svobodi ,po zelenih travnikih in lepih .sadovnjakih, ki jih žalosten opazujem iz ječe. Težko mi je pri srcu, kadar vidim naš rod, kako se podi od češnje
haps that was the way she got her notion about not liking dogs.
She didn’t like them in her yard and she didn't like them when she met them on the street, and most of all she didn’t like them to follow her as she went to and from school.
do češnje in veselo žvrgoli in čeblja. Toda to še ni najhujše. Slišim jih in dobro mi de, da smo blizu skupaj. A ko na jesen odlete proti sončnemu jugu, jaz pa ostanem sam, takrat mi je hudo in včasih po ves teden ničesar ne zauži-jem. Tako me boli in duši ta dosmrtna ječa."
Bobek je lastno nesrečo docela pozabil. Tako ga je bila prevzela škorče-
va povest.
“Ves kaj," je šepnil in pogledal, če ga kdo ne sliši. Pa se ni bilo treba bati. Cigan je spal in smrčal kakor krt.
"Baron me je sinoči pozabil privezati. Splazil se bom iz kletke in od zunaj odprl vratca. Narahlo bom odpah-nil okno in sedel tebi na hrbet. Pa greva v božji svet in zbogom, baron in tvoja čarovnija!"
"Dobro,” pravi škorček, “zletiva nocoj na prvo drevo in ko bo svetlo, greva iskat najine starše.”
Bobek se je spravil takoj na delo. Samo, ko je odpiral okno, je cigan zakaš-ljal. Pa je počakal pol ure, da se je cigan obrnil na drugo stran in spet dalje vlekel dreto.
“Tako, pridi!’ 'je zaklical škorčku. Je zletel škorček na okno. palček pa mu je-hitro splezal na hrbet in se ptijel za perje.
"Dobro se drži .da ne padeš,” ga je poučil in se spustil v zlato svobodo.
Noč je bila svetla in tako je škorček dobro zajadral na veliko vrbo, kjer sta počakala jutra.
Strašno se je kregal drugo jutro baron. ko je opazil pobeg.
"Zdaj bo moje obrti konec,” je tarnal in si izpraševal vest:
“Tako je, če človek ni pošten.”
Škorček še od mladih nog ni bil vajen letanja in se je hitro utrudil. Prav za prav se je šele sedaj učil. Tudi v zemljepisju nista bila izvežbana, za Bobka že vemo, zakaj ne, in tako je njuno 'potovanje le počasi napredovalo. Hranila sta se v gozdu. Bobek z borovnicami, škorček pa je poleg borovnic iskal tudi črvov, polžev in druge golazni, ki jo ceni in spoštuje škprčev rod, Spala sta v vejevju, in sicer Bobek kar na škorčevem hrbtu, kjer je bilo pernato in mehko. Da pa ne bi v spanju zdrknil s škorca, se je na večer Bobek vedno privezal z nitjo škorcu za vrat.
Tako sta potovala že mnogo dni in preletela več krajev. Ali nikakor nista mogla najti svojega doma. Na marsikatero tepko sta sedla, a prave ni bilo nikjer. Srečala sta tudi jato .škorcev in povpraševala po svojcih. Toda škorci so naša potnika začudeno gledali in majali z glavami, češ, kako sta le ta dva skupaj prišla.
Tudi mušnice sta iskala po gozdovih. Našla sta jih sicer mnogo, a prave Skakalčeve mušnice s klinčki na oknih ni bilo nikjer. Vpraševala st* mravlje in čebelice za svet ,a nobeni ni bilo ničesar znanega. Biti sta morala precej daleč od svoje domačije.
“Kaj, če nisva šla v napačno smer?”
; ugiba Bobek.
“Dobro, pa kreniva v drugo,” pravi I škorček.
Tako sta potovala križem kražem po svetu in iskala ljubi domek Bližala se je jesen. Pa sta zavila v vinograde. Toda tudi tukaj ni bilo uspeha, pač pa obilica sladkega grozdja ,ki sta si ga privoščila, kakor še nikoli prej.
Naenkrat je postal škorček otožen in zamišjjen.
"Na jug me vleče,” je dejal. "Zima prihaja in nič prida ne bo tukaj."
“Pa dobro,” odvrne Bobek, "greva pa na jug. Mogoče sva pa od tam doma.” Tako sta zavila proti jugu.
very firmly that way and then hurried on to school.
Was the dog bothered by such a welcome? Not he! He seemed to have taken a liking for Helen, for ail her rudeness to him and he pattered right after her clear up to the school building.
"Well, never mind,” said Helen to herself. ”1 guess he’ll run along and tend to his own business now.” And she thought no more about him.
But at noon, when she came out of the building with the other girls, there was Mr. Doggie waiting for her. His long ears wiggled with delight when he saw her and he looked so happy that she hadn’t the heart to stamp her fopt at him. And likely as not it wouldn’t have 1 done any* good if she had—he seemed just that determined.
All the girl friends were much interested.
“Where’d you get him?” asked one.
Isn’t he darling?” exclaimed another.
"Going to teach him to do tricks like Paul did his?” asked Rosa.
And Helen didn’t know what to say. She had always hated dogs but nobody could hate a cunning little flop-eared creature like this dog—one really couldn't! So she hurried home as fast

“My, My! Aren’t you proud we are i having such a nice garden," says BROWN-halred Teddy. “We have plenty i of plants now, and if we tend to our : garden wp'll have flowers all the time!"
"Oh, they are beautiful, Teddy!” says YELLOW-haired Susie May. "I just don’t know which flowers I like the , bast!”
"The RED tulips near that BROWN basket of yours!" says Teddy. "I like it i tho best.!”
"Oh, but those dear BLUE bells, and the PINK iuse RED lightly) tulip, it has i a bud nearly open!” says Susie May. • "Oh, I love them all!”
“The PURPLE pansies are Mother’s favorites,” says Teddy. “And I see you have picked your basket full of YELLOW blossoms.”
Susie May wears a PINK sun-bonnet and her overalls are light BLUE. The overalls tie in a big bow at the back. Her blouse is PINK and so is the ribbon on her wrist. She has her rough two-toned garden shoes on. They are dark BROWN and light BROWN.

The sky is BLUE with large White | clouds in it, and the grass is light GREEN. All the plants have bright GREEN leaves.
Both children have PINK cheeks and RED lips.
"Oh my! I do love flowers so!" says Susie May. “I do hope we have one of every kind there is!”
“Ho! ho!” laughs Teddy. "We’d have to have a much bigger patch of BROWN earth than this garden of ours if we lapped to have even a quarter of all the, flowers."	•

was used to it by now, “Yes, I know I didn’t like dogs,” she admitted, but that was before I knew Pete. He’s so nice and we’re such friends. That I even like other dogs—well, anyway, I like some of them. I guess everybody and anything is a little nice if you just know about them. Look, Edith, I’ll show you what Pete can do.”
At a word of command Pete played “dead” and then, when Helen moved her finger, he jumped up “alive” again so suddenly that Edith was startled and jumped so funnily that Helen thought the joke was on her that time.
Edith liked Pete almost as well as Helen did and together the girls taught him some new tricks and had great fun. Pete liked being taught new things too, for he knew that as soon as the lesson was over, his mistress would point her finger at him and say, “what do you say now, Pete?” And then he would bark twice, not too loudly and then she would slip her hand from under her apron and give him a good tid-bit to eat. Who wouldn’t be friends with such a nice mistress as that?

, “Now see what you’ve done,” cried Bobby, rising wrathfully. “You’ve made me ruin my trousers. Just because you're dirty and sloppy is no reason why you should ruin my clothes.”
“Oh, I’m sorry!” cried Larry, with dancing eyes. “Let me help dust you off.” And he began treating him as if he were a dusty rug, whaling him energetically with a stick.
“Hi, quit that,” squealed Bobby, "that hurts.”
j "Why don't you biff him?" asked a,
sweet voice close by. “You’re as big as; ’ he..”
Bobby turned around and saw Ruth I Cross watching them.
“I wouldn’t fight such a common chap," he said. “I’d get dirty if I touched him." And he looked down with a pleased smile at his own natty clothes ! which he was so careful not to muss or soil.
“I’d rather get a little dirty than’ -stand for all that teasing,” said Ruth : with a flash in her blue eyes.
“ 'Tisn’t worth it,” Bobby said, pulling-down the cuffs of his silk shirt so they would show more. He then took out a silk handkerchief and waved it about so his two friends might smell the perfume on it. Ruth looked a little impressed but Larry sniffed “Sissy!” and strolled away.
When Bobby reached home he was met by his sister Virginia at the gate. “Oh, Bobby!” she cried, “what do you i think? Daddy has bought a goat for Cousin Jack’s birthday, and the goat’s in our back yard and it's going to be taken to Cousin Jack's the first thing tomorrow. It’s a beauty. It has horns i and the nicest, white silky coat.” ,
Bobby hurried through the house to 1 see the animal when a well-known j voice from the kitchen called: “Oh Mista Bobby, won’t you-all git a bucket of coal fo’ youh ol' mammy? Mah knees | is dat bad today Ah cain't bend ’em! no mo’.”
It was old Aunt Liza, who had nursed i ' him when he was a baby and who still1 worked for the family though she was j getting feeble and sometimes had bad j spells of rheumatics. Bobby scowled.
“I’ll get all dirty down the cellar,”! | he replied. “I can't get you coal.”
“You horrid boy!” cried Virginia.: “I’ll get you some coal, Aunt Liza.”
Down she went while Bobby went out to see the goat, saying to himself that ! he’d fire old Aunt Liza if he had his j way. She was a nuisance and a disgrace with her red flannel shirt showing below her rolled-up sleeves and her great flappy carpet slippers. He didn’t remem*
| ber all the many times those red flan* ! | nel arms had soothed him to rest when | , he was a little boy, nor the many steps! those old feet in the floppy carpet | i slippers had taken for him. No. all he 'thought was: “I wish Ma would get a ' cook with some style to her."
The next day was Saturday and at, breakfast his father said: "Well, Bobby, since you don’t have to go to school to-i day you might take the goat to your Cousin Jack’s and wish him a happy birthday."
“Oh, can’t I go, too?" Virginia asked.
"No, pet," her father replied. “It’s too far. Goats aren’t allowed on the street | cars, so Bobby will have to lead it and ] it’s three miles to your cousin's."
Bobby went and put on his best clothes and a red tie and shined up his shoes and started out with the goat, | feeling very important. "Here’s carfare to ride back,” called the mother as he ‘.left the house.
It was still quite early and he met few people on his w^y, but he did meet , Larry.

classes t of the Ameri-68 took piace April 21.
There was a nice program. Here again Rose Brgant took part in Scout uniforms. She and two other Scouts came out with our beloved American flag. The audience executed the pledge to the flag that is always so touching, a moment to ever true spirited Americanizm. Imitating animals by Valentine Rozman was next on the program and this went over big. He should be asked to entertain the juveniles at the convention. I know they would enjoy hearing him. After the program a nice lunch was served. Rose Koprivnik’s sister Christine came to sit at the table where my mother, sister and myself sat. We had a nice chat. She told us Mr. Frank Tomsich got Rose started to work as a delegate. I know she is working hard.I surely hope she gets irj. She works at the Tomsich home. Miss Clara Handbergh is teacher of this night-school class and had charge of this program.
Elsie M. Desmond, I certainly liked your last story. I think it is the best you wrote. It is safely pasted in my scrapbook.
Gloria H. Terbovec, your letter was swell. I enjoyed it very much. Please let us know more about the Golden Gate International Exposition for you are the only one from there that writes. I know that all the juveniles take great interest in the Exposition. I have received your most welcome letter and I want to congratulate you on being an honor student.
I had a nice Easter and lots of presents and cards. Thank you Little Stan. You’re welcome. Two very pretty girls were at our house from out-of-town asking for you, but you were out of town. Good-bye until next month.

DEAR EDITOR:
I want to express my greatest appreciation to the Kopler’s Slovene orchestra. The orchestra is under the direction of Louis Kopler, a very good accordion player. I know the Slovenes from this locality appreciate hearing a Slovene orchestra from their own home town .This is one of the most enjoyable quarter hours on the air. Please tell other radio listeners about this Slovene music.
WHO—Kopler’s Slovene orchestra.
WHAT—Playing Slovene music.
WHEN—Saturday at 5:45.
WHERE—Station WJAC in Johnstown, Pa.
The weather here is nice. We have to have some rain or else it wouldn’t seem to be the month of April. As you know April is the month for showers and May is the month that brings flowers. We will have to wait until the month of May comes in order to have some beautiful days.
I want to thank my pen pal, Anthony Orehek, from Cleveland for the letters. I will answer your letter just as soon as I can. I was a little slow in answering but be looking for a letter in a few days.
School is nearly over and vacation will be here. The examinations are near and then we will have to wait and see if we passed them before we know whether we have a happy school ending or not.
This is all for this time. I will write again if I am in the mood to write.

This is my first letter to the Nova Doba ,altho I have been reading its interesting articles sent in by the members for a long time.
Well, spring is here and everybody is happy, and so am I and do you know why? Because I qualified as a delegate to the third'national juvenile convention. It won’t be long before I will see and talk with Professor Little Stan. So be ready Stan. With me is going to come at least 3 or 4 delegates from our lodge and one is going to be a beautiful girl. She is none other than Helen Okoren! Helen was also a delegate at the last convention.
I was lucky to get all of my forty members in one day. If all the candidates work like I did, there’s sure to be a big crowd at the convention at Ely. So don’t wait you candidates. It’s time to act.

DEAR EDITOR:
Now I have an opportunity to write to you.
My school work is almost over. I am eleven years old, and I am in the fifth grade at Sherman school.
My father, Jacob P. Novak, was fifty-one years old on May 1. He is a member of St. Martin’s lodge, No. 44 SSCU of Barberton, Ohio. Dad will be surprised when he reads his name in the 'juvenile section of Nova Doba. I’ll close till next time.

DEAR EDITOR:
Since the month of May has a day dedicated to mothers, I wrote this poem for Mother’s Day.
BEST FRIEND When all the world passes you by,
Who is your staunch stand-by?
Who makes you feel strong and tall When you’ve had an unlooked for fall? ’Tis none other Than your Mother.
And when on some lonely day,
You feel blue and things look gray, Who cheers you up with a lifting smile When she might be sad the while?
’Tis none other Than your Mother.
Treat her kindly now all of you For the countless things she does for you
Don’t wait for some other time,
She is there for you all the time.
Who? None other Than your Mother.

DEAR EDITOR:
At long last spring has finally “sprung” here in the northwest. Now the sun is shining in the blue skies and the daffodils are blooming everywhere. Oh yes! Washington is world-famous for it daffodils: about 50 per cent of the nation’s bulb supply being grown in the fertile Puyallup valley only 20 miles from Enumclaw.
Soon the rhododendrons will be in full glory; and the apple orchards of the Wenatchee valley will blossom forth into a sea of pink and white fragrance. Now, you may ask, why all this sudden enthusiasm?
The answer is short and simple. This year the State of Washington is celebrating its Golden Jubilee, that is, the fiftieth anniversary of its admission to the Union. Exactly 50 years ago on November 11, 1889, Washington, then only a raw, undeveloped frontier territory was granted statehood. Since that date a great commonwealth has arisen out of the wilderness. Today Washington is a modern manufacturing state with many beautiful physical attractions, too numerous to enumerate here. Perhaps you will want to see them this summer. The doorlatch is left open to all tourists who wish to idle their carefree summer hours away. Come to the West and see Washington.

DEAR EDITOR:
Now since Easter is over and spring vacation has begun, I gu^ss I’ll have to take a rest after all the “potica” and “šunka” and etc., that I devoured on this happy occasion. Although I’m late in saying it, I hope everyone had a happy Easter. Here is a short story entitled:
A HAPPY OCCASION
Ann was slowly walking down the street thinking over the things she would do during the spring vacation. Suddenly she saw a piece of paper lying on the ground. She picked it up and began reading it. It was part of the Nova Doba. She hurriedly walked on toward home very excited.
When she showed her sister and two brothers the paper they were just as excited" as she was. Then her father was looking over the paper to see how they could get this paper and also join the SSCU.
A knock was heard at the door and Mary, a girl friend of Ann’s who lived down the street walked in. Ann’s father asked, how they could get this paper and join the SSCU? Mary explained it to him and then said, “Boy, I’m sure lucky I came over for I’m a candidate for the juvenile convention and have just a few more members to get before I’m a delegate.”
Everyone in this family was happy for their father had them all join. But down the street another girl named Mary was also very happy for she had reached her goal.

DEAR EDITOR:
Here I am again ushering in the 'month of May by writing in to the Nova Doba. It sure is swell to know that j summer is here and also that school is soon closing. How are all you candi- j dates for the trip to Ely making out? j This spring air should give you “vim, j vigor and vitality,” and with that you| should be able to get more members. J Boy do I envy those already in as dele- j gates. You’re in for one grand time. Of course there is still time. I’ve been kept busy with a concert which our school is giving, and not boasting I can say it -going to be good. The following is a j poem of my composition to urge the delegates on.
PASSING OF TIME
The time is fleeing: scurry around
There are more members to be found.
The reward is grand with loads of fun
When enjoying yourself beneath Ely’s sun.
The poem may not be a duplicate of Longfellow’s, but it expresses what I want to say.
Just a delegate of ’37,

DEAR EDITOR:
Yes, spring is here and old winter is gone. Even though the cold has left us, the lakes are covered with ice, and the snow can still be seen in some places. The smell of spring is sweet and the birds bring new sounds and melody intjo the air. Soon the cherry trees and tflie Indian Plum trees will be in bloom. All this will contribute to the making of many bushels of berries which will be picked in the autumn and made into jams and jellies. Here, too, in the North Minnesota woods can be found hundreds of bushels of blueberries. This certainly is a beautiful country in the spring.
Last Sunday was a lovely day, so my girl friend and I went for a walk down to our cabin on White Iron lake. The distance is about six miles. A few people offered us rides but we wanted to make the trip on foot, and at the same time I wanted to do a little campaigning for new members for the SSCU. I had no success. To tell you the truth, I still haven’t enough members to qualify as a delegate. It is a little hard for me right now. I have so much school work during the day a fid either band or orchestra practice in the evenings. We are going to give a concert soon, and that takes a lot of practice. Oh well .there are only about 40 more days until school ends and then I’ll roll up my sleeves and “step on it,” I also wish the officers of our lodge would keep their promise and help me, as well as the SSCU, get new members.

DEAR EDITOR:
Here I am again. The city of Ely has the distinction and lodge No. 1, SSCU has the honor of qualifying the first delegate to the Athletic Conference, in the person of Joseph Kovach, president of lodge No. 1, SSCU of Ely, also president of the United SSCU Lodges of Ely, as well as president of Merchants Retail Trade Association. In addition he owns and operates the Kovach Bros, meat and grocery store.
Frank Tomsic, Jr., of lodge No. 1, of Ely, is the second candidate to qualify as delegate to the athletic conference, scheduled to take place in August. He also serves lodge No. 1 administrative board, in the capacity of secretary.
In the juvenile race, the No. 1 lodge has entered its third candidate, Rose Koprivnik. Two who have already qualified are: Mathew Banovetz and Rosaline Mantel.
Justine Korent of Ely, is also going to be a candidate for the third juvenile convention of 1939.
Vacation is just around the corner. But before it comes we will have our exams. My, Elsie M. Desmond wrote a swell long letter. I guess she worked a long time on it. Come on juveniles, write more letters.
I nearly always contribute a poem so this time I will send in a story that I have composed. The name is:
LITTLE SALLY
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Sally. She had no mother, but she had a cruel father. Sally disliked her father, because he was cruel to her and whipped her 'tvhenever he got a chance.
One day Sally thought of running away. As soon as her father had gone to bed she went quietly to the door, opened it and stole away quietly.
Sally wandered over hill and dale till she came to a little house at the edge of the forest. She knocked at the door and an old woman greeted her very kindly. She asked her if she wanted shelter and Sally said “yes.” The woman also asked her why she was out at this dark, dreary hour. She told her everything in such a sad way that the woman felt sorry for her. As she had a daughter about Sally’s age, so Sally slept with her daughter.
She awoke at break of dawn. The old woman gave her a good breakfast and some decent clothes. Sally trotted on till she came to the friendly house where she was welcomed by Miss Smith. She lived happily at the Friendly House. Soon her father heard about her and went to visit her. She welcomed him. Now that her father was good to her, she went back to live in her father’s house.

DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba. I have followed the letters in the paper and never had courage enough to write. So now I am going to write a letter about my locality. The weather out here is fine. The St. Martin’s team is about ready to start their spring training. Last year I was the mascot for them. My favorite sports are baseball and basketball. We had a basketball team at our school. We lost one game out of four. The reason we played only four games was because our gym was made larger and we didn’t start till the middle of the season. I ran out of words so I have to say so long, everybody.

BARBERTON, O.
DEAR EDITOR AND READERS:
I want to thank Little Stan for putting me on the honor roll and also for the compliment which he gave me. I will try to keep my work up and remain on it.
Easter is over now but in Barberton on Easter morning you would have thought it was Christmas. The snow was coming down very fast and covering the ground. Before noon it was all melted and everybody was glad because they were able to wear their Easter outfits.
I wrote quite a few letters to the Nova Doba but I never did write anything about our school. It is located in Norton Center therefore it is called Norton School. From the first to the twelfth grades go there. Every year the school has “Red Letter Day” or open house and everybody is invited. Each class makes a project or either each individual makes one as the teacher directs. Each individual in our English class is making a book report and putting a cover on it. They are very pretty. The girls who are taking sewing are putting on a style show and the cooking class is setting a table for a formal dinner. The industrial arts class puts all the things which they have made on exhibit. They made cedar chests, lamps, rings, letter openers pnd many other things. One bov succeeded in the difficult task of making a radio. On this day the school is crowded and everybody has a gand time.
I am glad to hear that the candidates for the convention are having luck in securing members. I wish them more

DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES:	j
Again I have decided to write to the j Nova Doba. I really never find time to j write one, so this time I decided to put j my school work aside and write this j letter.
We sure had our share of rain here in Barberton. We couldn’t hardly go to I school one day without taking our um- j brellas and overshoes, But now' we are | having the nicest weather that you j can find.
I am in the ninth grade now and 11 have plenty of homework both in Latin | or Algebra. We just received our re- j port cards. I was disappointed at a C plus which kept me off the honor roll.
Our school, Highland Jr. High, had a paper sale. The class that would bring in the most paper would get a party and our class won. We also had a jello selling contest, and the class selling the most packages of jello won a party also. And again our class won. A prize was given to each boy and girl selling the most packages individually. I won the prize in the girl's division, selling 112 packages.
We had a mystery here in Barberton. Mr. Paul Centa, a Slovene, was gone on February 27. The sheriff and his deputies, boy scouts and neighbors searched the neighborhood, to no avail. About a week ago they found him dead, about 500 yards from his home. He always carried several hundred dollars with him. He had about eight hundred dollars with him on the night that he disappeared. He didn't have any money on him and the murderer has not as yet been found. '
Our city is going to have a May festival called “Bringing, in the May.” Every year we have one. Every public school takes part in it. It always is such a beautiful thing and then if the school wants to have one they can, and usually do.
I want to congratulate Dorothy Pre-dovich, Anne Gornick and Irene Spe-her for being the first three delegates to the third juvenile convention. Our candidate is Amelia Klančar. I wish you luck, Amelia and all the rest of the candidates in securing members. You will never' regret becoming a delegate. I also want to congratulate Elsie Desmond and Florence Startz for writing such splendid letters to the Nova Doba, the first thing when I find the juvenile page I look for their letters. I would like to meet them personally and congratulate them personally. Keep it up girls!
The ninth graders of our school will have a class prom late in May. Our gym teachers are teaching us to dance so we will be prepared for the prom. The girls already know how to dance so we have to help teach the boys, which is very hard to do.
This is all I have to say. Good-bye till next time.
An enthusiastic member.

Lorain, O. — “B-r-r-ling,” je brnel telefon, “Long distance—
Cleveland calling!” Klical jej] >rat Janko Rogelj, da poizve če J e že dospela elyška kegljaška1; lelegacija z dolgokrakim Little Stanom za volanom. “Niso še:( lospeli,” se odzove brat John , iumše na lorainski zvezi tele- j -'ona. Oba glavna uradnika pre-j; ,Tzame skrb, da je morda Sta-; lova Lizi zapeljala po slabi de- :, cevni poti kam pod streho na stransko pot in jo ni moči izvle- j ’ •i iz mehke postelje. Po krat-<em ugibanju o zamudi Lize in njenega spremstva iz Elya se :elefonska zveza prekine.
Komaj pa se je brat Kumse usedel, zopet zabrni telefon in na nasprotnem koncu se iz mesta J Loraina oglasi koloyodja Little | Stan in pravi: “Do tu nas je; pripeljala naša Liza, a sedaj ! neče naprej v Cleveland, pravi, j da hoče priti vas pogledat!” Ves vesel, da se je potrudila Liza, da pripelje svoj tovor k nam za ma-1
lo	časa, pošlje brat Kumše hčer-; ko Vido naproti, da ji kaže I stransko pot na naš dom. Tako se malo oddahne od težke poti Liza, pa tudi Little Stan in njegovo spremstvo. Pa glej, rekli so, da pridejo z njim štiri dekleta, pa so vsi v hlačah! Ko pa malo bolj natanko pogledamo in se umijejo in okrepčajo, vidimo, da so sledeča dekleta: Mrs. Angela Grahek, Misses Christine Merhar, Anne Grahek in Justine Otrin.
Little Stanova Liza je postala že nestrpna, ker je vedela, da njena pot še ni končana; zato zvabi elyško kegljaško delegacijo, ki je bila malo težja po tem kratkem času, ker si je založila hlačnice, (ker pasovi so bili že dokraja zadrgnjeni), da jih ne izgubi pred koncem potovanja. Tako je clevelandski skrbni gospodarski odbor pozno ta večer sprejel Lizo in njeno živo prtljago v varstvo.
V	nedeljo 23. aprila na kegljaški tekmi JSKJ v Clevelandu smo se pozdravili še s sestrama Barbaro Matesha in Mary Ko-lenz, ki sta se dvobojevali z našim lorainskim teamom. Tam sem srečala predsednika gl. porotnega odbora Mr. Anton Oko-lisha. Po kratkem pozdravu pravim : “Zakaj pa' glavni uradniki ne kegljate?” On se hitro obrne in hiti, ter spravi team petih glavnih uradnikov skupaj. V teamu so bili Anton Okolish, John P. Lunka, Paul J. Oblack, John Kumse in Little Stan, ki so se z raznimi opazkami dobro zabavali. No gl. nadzornik Janko Rogelj jih je precej komandiral in je mislil, da se bo izmuznil, a ker je moral brat Lunka domov, je moral brat Rogelj prevzeti njegovo mesto, da se team ne razdere. Kako so delali, bo že izdano poročilo. Kje se je mudil tedaj naš urednik, nam ni znano, menda mu je dišala že večerja, ker čas je že bil za okrepčanje želodca. (Imel je opraviti s sitnimi pamži, ki mi jih je pustila flu. Op ured.)
Ker sta ta dan obhajala štiridesetletnico njune poroke Mr. in Mrs. Frank Ambrožič, se je lorainska kegljaška delegacija s svojim spremstvom takoj podala proti domu. Mr. in Mrs. Ambrožič sta člana društva št.
6	JSKJ. Frank je doma iz Sodražice pri Ribnici, Nežka pa iz Iga pri Ljubljani. Da se tudi mi pridružimo njihovemu praznovanju ter si rečemo naše čestitke, se podamo na njun dom, kjer sta z otroci, ki so že vsi poročeni, in sorodniki tako modrovala :
Oj, leta kaj hitite
Tak naprej, postojte vsaj!
Z vami iti dovolite
V mladost srečno nam nazaj!
Bila leta so upanja—veselja, žalosti in tud’ trpljenja ...
V oblakih si gradove sva zidala, Ko otroke sva zibala.
Ali leta le bežijo,
Za najin klic ne marajo, štirideset jih je nama . . .
Bliža se jih petdeset.
Pa povejta to nam leta:

1.1 Ely, Minn. — V nedeljo 14. nimaja ob dveh popoldne bodo v a j tukajšnji mestni. dvorani predvajane filmske slike iz starega kraja. Predvajane bodo po odseku “Jugoslovanske radio-ure” v Minnesoti in vstopnina za osebo bo 25 centov.

Joliet, lil. — članom in članicam društva Sv. Petra in'Pavla, št. 66 JSKJ, naznanjam tem potom, da se bo naša prihodnja seja vršila v nedeljo 28. maja, mesto 21. maja. Seja se bo vršila v stari šoli v spodnjih prostorih na severni strani. Sejo smo za en teden prestavili zato, ker bo mnogo članov šlo v nedeljo 21. maja v Waukegan, 111., kjer se bo dopoldne vršilo zborovanje federacije društev JSKJ za Illinois in Wisconsin, popoldne pa koncert. Tudi naše društvo spada v federacijo, zato je priporočljivo, da naši člani v kar mogoče velikem številu posetijo Waukegan za to priliko. Pomnimo, da tudi Wauke-gančani radi pridejo med nas, kadar imamo kako slično prireditev.
Pri tej priliki naj omenim, da vstopnice za koncert v Waukeganu se lahko kupijo pri vseh uradnikih društva št. 66. Dalje naj naznanim, da če se zadostno število oseb priglasi za izlet v Waukegan, se bomo lahko peljali tja z busom. Kot sem slišal, bi vožnja na busu za tja in nazaj stala $1.50. Torej, kdor bi v nedeljo 21. maja želel iti v Waukegan z busom, naj se oglasi pri meni ali pa pri “Tajcman & Peruš” na vogalu Hickory in Hutchins cest. Ker bo “Tajcman & Peruš-ev” orkester igral na omenjeni prireditvi, je želeti, da se še v večjem številu iste udeležimo. Pozdrav in na svidenje 21. maja v Waukeganu! — Za društvo št. 66 JSKJ:
John Adamich, tajnik.

ZBLIŽANJE Z MLADINO
 m--------
Velik problem ameriških Slovencev je bil vse do zadnjih časov, kako premostiti tisti prepad, ki je nastal med nami priseljenci in tu rojeno doraščajočo mladino. Pred desetletji ta problem ni bil tako viden, ker je bilo naše odraščene tu rojene mladine malo, nedorasli otroci pa so bili v glavnem del družin, katerim so pripadali. Ti otroci pa so polagoma odraščali in so začeli obiskovati ameriške šole, kjer so logično postajali del ameriške mladine. Tu se je začel prepad, ki se je vedno bolj širil. Ameriški jezik je različen od našega, ameriške šege in navade se v marsičem razlikujejo od slovenskih.
Mnogi naši priseljenci niso prav za prav niti mogli svojim otrokom povedati, odkod prihajajo. Nekdanja Avstrija je vsebovala kak ducat različnih narodnosti.j Avstrijskega jezika ni bilo, jugoslovanstvo je bilo samo j ideja, za Slovence večina Američanov ni vedela, ker eno-1 stavno ni nikdar slišala o njih. Saj niti mi, ki smo se učili i evropskega zemljepisja, pred svetovno vojno po večini nismo vedeli, da živijo vvRusiji Litvinci, Estonci itd. In koliko nas je, ki bi mogli našteti vse republike na ameri- j škem kontinentu! Slovenci smo bili torej Američanom tako neznan majhen narodič, kot nam je, na primer, Iran j v Mali Aziji. Za našo tu rojeno slovengko mladino je bila naša rodna Slovenija neznana deveta dežela.
Polagoma so se začele razmere izpreminjati. Ustanovile, so se slovenske podporne orgnizacije, ki so bile naše, vendar prikrojene ameriškim razmeram. Po raznih naselbinah so začeli rasti Slovenski domovi, kar je bilo spet nekaj našega in obenem ameriškega. Ustanovila so se razna kulturna društva, pred vsem pevska društva, ki so pokazala mladini, rta imamo tudi mi nekaj kulture za seboj. Slovenska pesem je lepa tudi za osebo, ki ne razu- j me besedila, za našo mladino pa *je bila skoro neko lepo I razodetje. V tej pesmi je zaslutila lepoto in globočino i slovenske duše, pa jo je nevedoma vzljubila in sprejelaj za svojo.	j	<
Po svetovni vojni je bila formirana Jugoslavija, vse- h bujoča Srbe, Hrvate in Slovence. Tako je prodrlo v svet j tudi ime našega malega slovenskega naroda in mladini ; smo že lahko na zemljevidih pokazali, odkod smo doma. ] Ameriška revije in listi so pisali o tej deželi in o njenih i piebivalcih. Dobili smo prevode del slovenskih pisateljevi' in pesnikov. Naš pesnik Ivan Zorman je prevedel več : < znanih slovenskih pesmi v angleščino. Potem smo dobilii v angleščini pisane knjige o Jugoslaviji in Sloveniji. Iz ] našega v Ameriki naseljenega naroda se je dvignil ameri- i ški pisatelj Louis Adamič. Dobil je književno nagrado za i eno svojih del, podal se v Evropo, nakar je v knjigi “The £ Native’s Return” objavil najlepšo visoko pesem lepotam j in vrlinam Jugoslavije in posebej še Slovenije. Knjiga je šla v stotisočlh izvodih med Američane in mala Slovenija je hipoma postala znana čitajočemu ameriškemu prebivalstvu. V tej in nekaterih sledečih knjigah in spisih je bil naš mali slovenski narod predstavljen ameriškemu občinstvu bolj vidno kot je bil kdaj predstavljen eden ali drugi narod, ki je številčno desetkrat večji.
Tekom časa so.se tudi mnogi naši priseljeni rojaki povzpeli na kolikor toliko važna mesta v ameriški javnosti, v profesijah, v gospodarstvu itd. Tudi družinsko življenje naših priseljencev se je znatno amerikaniziralo, posebno tekom svetovne vojne, ko so bili stiki s starim krajem pretrgani. Zavedli smo se, da smo tukaj in da tukaj ostanemo, pa smo se po najboljših možnostih skušali prilagoditi razmeram naše nove domovine. Postali smo ameriški državljani in smo se pričeli po prilikah uveljavljati v javnem življenju.
Z vsem tem smo se kar nekako nevede približali naši odraščajoči tu rojeni mladini in mladina se je lo-! gično približala nam. In čim bolj smo se izpoznavali, tem bolj smo se medsebojno cenili in spoštovali. Prepad med nami in našo tu rojeno mladino se je začel manjšati in se I manjša z vsakim dnem. To je prav na obe strani. Na eno stran daje mladini neko trdno ozadje, katerega se ji ni treba sramovati, na drugo stran lepša naše družinsko, družabno in javno življenje. Seveda ne mislimo na to, da bi iz tu rojene naše mladine vzgojili kakšne jugoslovanske ali slovenske patriote. Želimo le, da ima mladina lepe in pravilne pojme o svojem ozadju in da se ne sramuje svojega pokolenja. Drugače pa vemo in hočemo, da je ta mladina prav tako ameriška, v dobrem smislu, kakor so , potomci tistih priseljencev, ki so se priselili v to svobodno deželo pred stoletji. Brez priseljencev in njihovih potomcev bi Amerike, kakršno poznamo in ljubimo mi, ne bilo. Amerika je naša in mi smo njeni.
Zelo učinkovit način zbliževanja med nami in našo tu rojeno mladino so poleg drugega tudi razne športne prireditve in tekme, ki jih zadnja leta prirejajo naše podporne organizacije. Seveda je glavni namen teli pri-
t
reditev zainteresirati našo mladino za naše podporne j organizacije, medsebojno zbliževanje pa predstavlja nekake zelo dobrodošle obresti.
Naša J. S. K. Jednota je aranžirala v letošnji pomladi, kakor že^ večkrat prej, dve jako lepo uspeli kegljaški tekmi, katerih ena se je vršila v Pittsburghu, Pennsylvania, druga pa v Clevelandu, Ohio. Na ti dve prireditvi so prišli mladi športniki po več sto in celo nad tisoč milj daleč. Za stroške teh športnih prireditev so nekaj prispevali udeleženci sami, nekaj posamezna društva, nekaj pa je bilo prispevanega iz športnega sklada Jednote. Aktivni udeleženci in njihovi prijatelji so imeli od teh prireditev razvedrilo in zabavo, Jednota in njena podrejena društva pa lepo reklamo.
Pri tej priliki je vredno omeniti, da so ravno kegljaške tekme izmed vseh športnih aktivnosti najbolj učinkovite za medsebojno izpoznavanje in zbliževanje starejših priseljencev in tu rojene mladine. Pri tem športu lahko in radi aktivno sodelujejo tudi starejši člani, medtem ko morejo pri nekaterih drugih ameriških športnih igrah po: večini nastopati le kot gledalci. Tako zbliževanje je na vsak način tudi v veliko korist napredku Jednote. V take svrhe porabljen denar je dobro investiran ter bo prej ali slej prinesel organizaciji lepe obresti.
Take prireditve tudi nam starejšim pokažejo, da je i naša tu rojena mladina v splošnem mnogo boljša, kakor smo jo včasih sodili, ko je nismo mi pobližje poznali in ni ona poznala nas. Pri takih prireditvah vidimo, da si je !-ta mladina ohranila večino vseh dobrih slovenskih svoj-stev in jim dodala še lepo število zaželjivih ameriških 1 svojstev. Vidimo, da je vredna organizacije, katero smo ( zase in zanjo zgradili, in prepričamo se, da jo bo zmožna 1 in voljna voditi, ko se mi umaknemo s pozorišča. Priznati 1 moramo, če hočemo biti pošteni, da je ta mladina prav tako dobra, kot smo bili mi, ko smo bili v njenih letih, v marsikaterem primeru pa še boljša.
Zato, ne jadikujmo, kaj bo z našo mladino ali kaj bo 1 z našimi podpornimi organizacijami, ko nas ne bo, ampak ' porabimo vse prilike, da jo dobimo v naše vrste. Posebno 1 upoštevajmo to tekom naše sedanje kampanje. Pomnimo, ( da v\ mladini je bodočnost vsega in da je v njej in z njo ^ tudi bodočnost J. S. K. Jednote.	š

voditi tudi svoj bicikel do ceste. Sosed mu ni odrekal pravice do pešhoje, ker je ta pravica obstajala že več desetletij, toda zabraniti mu je hotel, da bi po stezi vodil bicikel.
V zvezi s to pravdo je zanimivo, da je bila steza preko tujega .sveta dolga le 35 korakov, da je bila'široka le 50 do 80 centimetrov, da na stezi ni rast-lo iiicesa:y oo kraju Steze pa fe trpotec in koprive in da je to-žitelj gnal malenkostno zadevo preko dveh instanc na najvišje sodišče, kjer je tožbo izgubil in je moral vse stroške plačati.
To dokazuje, da se naši kmetje v starem kraju še prav tako radi pravdajo za malenkosti kot so se nekdaj. Ali je potem čudno, če se dostikrat tudi ameriški Slovenci ravnamo po vzgledu naših bratov onstran luže, pa se prerekamo in kregamo za zadeve, ki niso vredne niti pravljične oslove sence!
Evropa se pripravlja na vojno, narava se zavija v cvetje, d napoveduje bogato poletje in jesen, in pri JSKJ se vrši od :onvencije predpisana kampanja :a novo članstvo. Novice iz Ev--ope nas zanimajo in včasih tuli razburjajo, lepote pomladne larave nas radostijo, kampanja rri JSKJ pa poziva vse njene ojalne člane, da do 30. junija losvetijo vse svoje moči in agi-acijske zmožnosti delu za časten uspeh kampanje. Po za-d j učeni kampanji, to je po 30. uniju, se bomo pa lahko lotili Irugih perečih problemov.

KRALJEVSKI OBISK i Angleški kralj George'in kra-j Ijiea Elizabeta sta preteklo so- j boto s parnikom Empress of Australia odpotovala iz Ports-1 moutha, Anglija, proti Canadi. ’Po nekaj tednih bivanja v Canadi bosta obiskala tudi naše glavno mesto Washington in svetovno razstavo v New Yorku.
HRVATSKO-SRBSKI SPOR Sporno vprašanje, tikajoče se hrvatske avtonomije v Jugosla- j viji, še vedno ni dokončno reše-M no. Vzroki zavlačevanja niso 3 dosti znani javnosti. Knez Pav- j le želi, da bi se spor v najkraj- j šem času zadovoljivo rešil.
ODPRAVLJENA CENZURA
Iz Moskve se poroča, da je bila ukinjena cenzura poročil! i inozemskih korespondentov. Do-( sedaj so morali poročevalci ino-! zemskih listov predložiti ruskim oblastim vsa poročila, predno so j jih odposlali v inozemstvo.
LITVINOV ODSTOPIL Ruski komisar zunanjih za- i dev, Maxim Litvinov, je bil na lastno prošnjo razrešen svojih poslov in njegovo mesto je zavzel premier Vjačeslav Molotov, i V inozemstvu je zdaj mnogo ugibanja, kakšno smernico bo J Rusija v bodoče zasledovala, po-, sebno z ozirom na nameravano |1 zvezo Rusije z Anglijo in Fran- i" Clj°'	  j
ODPOR ETIOPCEV Kakor znano, Zedinjene države niso nikoli priznale zavojevan ja Etiopije po Italiji, in John j F. Shaw je še vedno priznan kot1 ] generalni konzul Etiopije v „ Washingtonu. Shaw je izjavil, ’ da Etiopci še vedno vodijo gverilsko vojno proti Italijanom in da Italijani po treh letih ne kon- * trolirajo niti toliko ozemlja v 1 Etiopiji kot takrat, ko so prvič [ zavzeli glavno mesto Addis Ababo.
ODGOVOR POLJSKE Poljski minister zunanjih zadev, Jožef Beck, je dne 5. maja pred poljskim parlamentom izjavil, da se Poljska ne bo uklonila Hitlerjevi zahtevi po vrnitvi Gdanska ali izgradnji stra-tegične nemške ceste preko poljskega koridorja, ki veže Poljsko z morjem. Poudaril je, da' se Poljska pod nobenim pogojem ne bo pustila odrezati od Baltiškega morja. Pripravljena pa je nemudoma pričeti s pogajanji za mirno rešitev spora, toda le, če Nemčija pokaže dobro voljo. Pomorze ali tako zva-ni poljski koridor je stara poljska provinca, ker tvorijo Poljaki 90'/; prebivalstva. Poudaril je, da ima Poljska pod orožjem nad milijon vojakov in da ne verjame, da bi narod, ki še kaj nase drži? sprejel take enostranske zahteve in pogoje, kakršne je Hitler stavil Poljski.
Nacijski krogi v Berlinu smatrajo Beckov govor za izziva nje Nemčije, vendar sodijo, da so ostala vrata za morebitna pogajanja odprta.
NEM6KO-ITALIJANŠKA POGODBA Med Nemčijo in Italijo bo te
dni podpisana politična in vojaška pogodba, “ki naj uspešno pomaga k ohranitvi'miru v Evropi.” Tako vsaj se glasi poročilo iz Milana v Italiji, kjer so se vršili tozadevni razgovori med italijanskim zunanjim ministrom grofom Ciano in nem-! škim zunanjim ministrom Joa-chimom von Ribbentropom. V Angliji in Franciji sodijo, da podpis te pogodbe med Nemčijo in Italije situacije nič ne iz-premeni. Sedanji odnošaji med Italijo in Nemčijo bodo enostavno formalno podpisani in objav-I ljeni.
VRTNARSKI NASVETI

čutljive na prosto posajene rastline zvečer pokriti s praznimi košaricami ali basketi, s praznimi cvetličnimi lončki ali pa, če so rastline nizke, z navadnim časopisnim papirjem, katerega ne na robovih obteži z grudami prsti ali kosi opek, kamena ali j lesa, da ga veter ne odnese. Ako! domačega vrtnarja vseeno izne-nadi nočna slana, morda reši rastline uničenja s tem, da jih močno poškropi ali obrizga z' mrzlo vodo. To pa se mora zgoditi prej, predno rastline sonce obsije; potem je prepozno. Ta pripomoček pomaga le pri lahki slani.

Za enoletne poletne cvetlice, ki niso preveč občutljive, je zdaj že čas, da so posajene na prosto.

| V svetovni vojni je neki H. j M. Hammett iz Calgary, Canada j izgubil palec na nogi. Zdravniki so mu torej prišiii palec nekega nemškega vojaka, kateremu so morali poškodovano nogo odre-! zati. Nemški palec se je na od- i kazano mesto lepo prirastel in . ni svojemu novemu lastniku po-i vzročal nikakih neprilik vse do; < j sedanje evropske krize. Kakor | hitro pa sta še začeli Anglija in j Nemčija zares grdo gledati, je moža začel palec boleti.

Eighth Juvenile Delegate Qualifies
B3
Campaign In Final Home Stretch! Candidates Have Two More Months To Qualify For Big Conclaves!
Keglers Return Home After Wonderful Trip
By Little Stan, Publicity Campaign Director
ROSE KOPRIVNIK
And again Ely, Minnesota, the seat of our SSCU, occupies the campaign spotlight. This time in the person of Rose Kopriv- i nik, who qualified as the'1 eighth juvenile delegate. Rose is the third juvenile to qualify from lodge No. 1, SSCU of Ely. To date lodge No. 1 has five qualified delegates: 3 in the 1 junior and two in the senior divisions.
Lodge &6
Joliet, 111. — Members of lodge “Sv. Petra in Pavla,” No. 66, SSCU are‘hereby notified that our next meeting will be held on Sunday, May 28, instead of May 21. Meeting will be held in the north side lower hall of the old school. Meeting has been postponed one week because many of our members will go to Waukegan, 111. on May 21, to attend the Illinois and Wisconsin SSCU Federation meeting in the morning, and the concert in the afternoon. Our lodge, too, belongs to the federation ,and for this reason it is suggested that our mem-j bers go to Waukegan in large numbers. We must also remember that Waukegan also likes to mingle with us when we hold a similar affair in Joliet.
Admission tickets to the concert in Waukegan may be ob-j tained from all officers of lodge No. 66. Further, if a sufficient number wish to go to Waukegan by bus, we may make arrangements to charter a bus. I have heard that the cost for the round trip would be approximately §1.50 for each person. Hence, those who are interested in the bus arrangements should get in touch with me or at “Tajcman & Perus,” located on the corner of Hickory and Hutchins streets. Inasmuch as “Tajcman & Perus” orchestra will play on the afternoon program, it is desirable that we all attend if possible.

St. Aloysius Wakes Up!
LORAIN, 0. — After a few years of inactivity along the entertainment line, St. Aloysius lodge, No. 6 SSCU will sponsor a gala dance on the 27th of this month at the Slovene National Home, 31st and Pearl Ave., in this fair city of Lorain, Ohio.\
I' All persons who have the op-I portunity to read this article itake notice, especially those from the neighborhood of Cleveland, B,arberton, and Sandusky.
Come and enjoy yourselves! Come and have a good time! Meet your old friends, make new ones! Between you and me,
I haven’t you always had a good time when in Lorain, pleasure I bound?
Ely, Minn.—Gyrating about the country like a fast spinning top, Little Stan and the Arrowhead B o'w lers finally returned to their homes after a last hop which took ■them from Rock-
Littla Stan
dale, Joliet, 111. It was a wonderful trip, full of exciting adventure and fun. And when home was reached, it really was tough to settle down in everyday routine work.
But the spark of life was reignited following a brief press conference with our supreme secretary in which he disclosed that the deadline for entering the contest to become delegate to the Third Juvenile Convention and Second Athletic Conference had officially come and gone, showing there were 114 JUVENILE CANDIDATES AND 91 FOR THE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE! 205 IN ALL!
The new membership list grows larger by the day. “In another day or so we will have enrolled over 1,000 new members in the juvenile department alone,” said Bro. Anton Zbas-nik, -our supreme secretary, “And that figure does not include the new adult members!” Boiling this down, it means |that the joint conclaves will be a great success because the enthusiasm and spirit shown in the coming events on Little Stan’s recent trip can be construed to mean that there will be a large number of delegates on that train when it leaves for Minnesota!
Meanwhile, the United Lodges of SSCU of Ely have already started making preparations to entertain delegates.
Plans are to have Governor Harold Stassen present at the elaborate affair, and our supreme secretary has already sent him a letter of invitation, which, judging from its content should receive 100 per cent approval from His Excellency.
In his letter to the Governor, Bro. Zbasnik pointed out there were 2,000 members of the SSCU in Ely; over 5,000 throughout Northern Minnesota. That during the 41 years of existence our SSCU still had to have the honor of entertaining the Governor of the state. And for an occasion like this where hundreds will be present from all over the country, it would be a great honor to have him here. We’re certain he’ll accept the invitation.
Elected general chairman in charge'of preparations was Bro. Anton Zbasnik, our supreme secretary, who has taken an intimate interest in the entertainment of delegates. Secretary is Frank Tomsich, jr., assistant supreme secretary of our SSCU, and the second to qualify for the athletic conference. Treasurer is none other than our supreme judiciary, Mrs. Rose Svetich who has worked with Mrs. Ko-Irosec in Lodge No. 120 to qualify Miss Amelia Korošec and brother John to the juvenile | convention. Next meeting of the j United SSCU lodges of Ely wil’ i be held May 13 at which Bro j Zbasnik will announce his ap ! pointed committees who will

eternity but if you care to take advantage of youi* “once in a lifetime” chance, and qualify for that marvelous vacation trip at the expense of your grand organization, these next seven weeks will slip by with the speed of seven minutes. That is why speed is the essential qualification now. Don’t clelay another minute. See that prospect that promised. Maybe just a little encouragement on your part will convince him to become a member in the strongest, best and most “able to protect” Slovene fraternal organization known to man. Get him now and keep going. Get his friend, then start in your neighborhood and work down the street. Make the SSCU known and the members will come in themselves. It is the best, strongest and most “able to protect” Slovene fraternal in existence. Dollar for dollar, the SSCU CAN’T BE BEAT. This is a boast that will not be matched by any, barring none. SHOW THEM POINT FOR POINT, THEN DARE ANYONE TO MATCH THEM —IF THEY CAN, THEY CANNOT. The SSCU stands alone— away out front of all Slovene fraternals. Show your prospects the true light of the SSCU and he is yours. Yes, for any working man is out looking for his money’s worth. And the place for his money’s worth is in the | SSCU. He cannot buy a better | fraternal policy than the policy sold by the SSCU. Show him this. Prove to him why the SSCU gives him more for his money. Show him why the SS-: CU gives him more for his I money. Show him why the SSCU is the best of all Slovene fraternals. And don’t forget show him that the SSCU is NOT a political nor a religious organization, BUT a true friendlj fraternal where giving the mem I bers more and better insurance for his money and making anc KEEPING friends is the mair I business policy. Show him these points THEN PROVE THEM If you do, he’s yours.

Lodge 225	1
Milwaukee, Wise. — Members of lodge “Združeni Slovani,” No. 225, SSCU are hereby notified that at the last meeting the date has been changed for \ the May monthly meeting. In-; stead of holding it on May 21, j the meeting will take place on Sunday, May 14, that is, one week earlier than usual. This change holds good only for the* month of May. Reason for the I change: On Sunday, May 21, the Illinois and Wisconsin Federa-I tion of SSCU lodges will meet; in Waukegan, 111., followed by a concert. Our lodge is a member j of the federation, and it was decided at the last meeting to come j ^ to Waukegan in large numbers. c
Hence, come in full numbers j1 to our next rpeeting, on Sunday, j ^ May 14, so that we can talk over this proposed trip. Some 501 miles separate Waukegan from 1 Milwaukee, and the North Shore!1 Line runs trains every hour, js Round trip fare is $1.85. Trans- 1 portation tickets can be ob-; ^ tained for all those who make/1 the necessary arrangements. 1 Call me by telephone: Broadway 5882. Train may be board- : ed on National Ave. and So. 6th 1 St.
I
Many of our members have automobiles and will make the trip in cars to Waukegan. Those who may have room for additional occupants in their cars are requested to report it at the next meeting. We can cut expenses in this way.
I also proposed to the mem- ' bers to buy admission tickets to j the concert in Waukegan at our ! lodge meeting. Admission is 30 cents. Twenty-five have been forwarded to us by the secretary in Waukegan. Members who expect to come to Waukegan before noon are requested to notify me, so that I can place an order with Bro. Stanovnik, lodge 94 secretary, for the necessary number of meals. Concert will begin at 2 p. m.
Let us show to the brothers and sistei’s of other lodges that we are interested in the federation, and that we are prepared to work in unison.
Membei^ in arrears with assessments are notified that I shall observe the by-laws and the lodge decisions in this respect. Assessments will be advanced for only those members who come to the meeting and explain their predicament. For-the month of April I had to take $66.16 out of my own funds to cover the assessments. This is quite an item for me, since I am nQ banker. Each mefnber sh&uld make it his duty to meet his assessments on time.
Lodge secretaries who have members located in Milwaukee j and West Allis, Wise., are requested to inform such members j | to take a transfer to our lodge. Our by-laws make this a requirement. See section 455. Perhaps j our supreme secretary should call attention to the members j in question to effect transfers, j
Anti about our campaign? Will We send our candidates to the juvenile convention and athletic conference to Ely? If each I member obtained one new member, we could send our candidates as delegates.

then go right to work with sleeves rolled up. They’re going to really make fine, impressive, and different plans for your entertainment. ALL THIS FOR YOU IF YOU QUALIFY AS DELEGATE. YOU MUSTN’T MISS IT! YOU JUST CAN’T MISS IT! KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR FURTHER PLANS. LITTLE STAN WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THEM AS THEY ARE ADOPTED. AND IF YOU’RE REALLY INTERESTED IN THE FORTHCOMING TRIP, YOU CAN BE CERTAIN YOU’LL ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT. So realistically will Little Stan try to bring you the complete plans that he’ll have you shaking hands with each other before you even get here!
When the bowling delegation left for Cleveland some three wreeks ago, they ran into a spell of snow and sleet. Coming back, Old Man Sunshine had cleared up the highways beautifully, in addition to placing the touch of brilliant green on the lawns with*his artistic brush. The ice went out of the lakes. WHY EVEN MOTHER NATURE HERSELF IS PREPARING THIS WILDERNESS LAND FOR YOUR ARRIVAL.
Over the week, while Little Stan was away we learned that Rudolph Kuznik of Lodge No. 138 had qualified as the third delegate to the athletic conference. Bro. Zbasnik reported that Bro. Kuznik is going into business at Export, Pa., and has transferred all his credits to his brother William, who now automatically becomes third delegate to the conference in his brother’s stead.
Over in Struthers, Ohio, Lodge No. 229, the famed Cardinals, are backing Steve R. Babich as their candidate to the conference. Bro. Vlosich, the other candidate, has withdrawn and transferred all his credits to him. A new candidate is Miss Alice Struna, secretary of Col-linwood Boosters lodge No. 188 of Cleveland, Ohio, who we’re quite certain will make the grade. Two months gives 60 days, and that’s time a’plenty to qualify! Remember that!
Over in our honored Montana circles where is Western Sisters lodge No. 190, who so far have done wonders in the juvenile campaign, members are backing Ann Crowley. John Starlcovich has withdrawn and has given all his credits to the hardworking lady!
Back at home finds that Arrowheads Lodge No. 184 is getting behind Joseph Pishler who works in the Home Office. In Slovenec lodge No. 114, Ely, Bro. Joseph Milkovich who is also an alderman in Ely’s city council has already qualified, and awaits only the official stamp of OK from the Home Office. The next candidate from Slovenec Lodge is young Mark Popovich, and it appears very likely that he’ll be in the finals with his diploma.
In the juvenile campaign here’, Justine Korent of Lodge No. 200, who has made a name for herself at the 1935 and 1937 juvenile conventions, is again goin’ to town. She’s got 10 new members'already, and is going (Continued on page 6)

Duck, Cleveland, Here I Come!
Gowanda, N. Y.—Ah, made it.
It began as most trips do, by rounding up the gang. By 1:00 p.m. on Saturday (the 23rd of April) we were all present and accounted for, Mr. and Mrs. L. Phillips, Mary Krall, Anne Kaluža, and Mish (that’s me) all of us sitting on the edge of our seats with the usual excitement of small town gals going to the big city.
We had been under motion for quite some time with not a sound to break the monotony. Annie came to the rescue and passed the gum around and boy! do we like gum.
Nearing Erie, the half way mark, we were startled by a noise that seemed to be a cross between a catbird and a parrot, which came from some one near me. Can you guess? You’re right it was Mary singing! Maybe you could give Miss Flagstad of the Metrop. Opera Co. some competition (How about it) that started us off. Whoops! Hold your hats girls, here we go again. Migosh, how that Phillips person does drive— Heh Haw!
Just outside of Cleveland, that certain subdued and modest feeling entered the car as it were saying, “Gee, we’re here. What da we do now?”
The St. Clair-Eddy alleys at 6:00 o’clock was our first stop, and we took our time in getting there too. There we met Louis Kolar (good old Louie). Next — to the bar — where the Hija’s
— How do you do’s — glad to have met you’s — began. What a round. Acquiring Stan Zupan there, he took us up to Patsy Krall’s house where we were to park for the night. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips left us at £his point to stay with friends of theirs.
Dinner next — which consisted of three eggs apiece for us three girls but Io and oeho. being the hog of the group I ate four. I don’t want to see eggs again for the next six months. Nine o’clock soon rolled around and we were on our way to the dance which was held at the Twilight ballroom in honor of the visiting teams Hiya’s and hello’s were started again, they were coming from all directions. What a reunion
— Center, Claridge, Lorain were there in full force. Meeting the Ely, Minn, groups was a real pleasure especially the well knowii (?) Mr. Pechaver (emphasize the Mr.). I’ve been won dering how Little Stan keeps that tall, slim and boyish figure (by jitterbugging and drinking beer??? Hee Haw.)
Yep! The Gowanda gang was slowly strolling in one by one. How the evening flew. How quickly the eyes of the whole crowd grew larger and glassier. It may have been the beer, the schnopps or even the orange pop. One never knows, does one. Dancing with old and new friends to the tune of Tony Iiristoff’s orchestra — Those jitterbugs how they did jit. Soon the words of “goodnight, see you at the alleys seemed to popularize” — Everyone was singing — Some went home, and some went beer-gardening. There was even a probability that a few roamed the streets until morning. Am I giving any body away? Hope not.
Sunday morning — the usual procedure of going to services, and after lounging around resting for the matches — Now at the alleys congregated — big heads, little heads, round heads, square heads and what you had. The single double and five-man team tournament matches were on. Tall men, short, men skinny women, fat women, all amatuer keglers slinging their old faithful down the alleys, wishing for strikes, but the result, just
splits and gutter balls — handshakes, — how do you feel, — what time did you pull in eventually worked themselves around. Isn’t it funny how you all feel lousy the next day. One party didn’t Mr. Phillips, “you should of told me you brought a couple of hound dogs along in the car,” because all of a sudden that awful “Auh woo-ooo-o came from nowhere. Where did you get them, Phillips? Were they escaped inmates from the Gowanda State Hosp.
Beer bottles, pop bottles, pint bottles and quart bottles exerted and flashed themselves about — What! and nobody tight? My, oh my — what’s the difference everybody was happy, and the matches are over.
Now for the banquet, the climax of the tournament — eats for the hungry, prizes for the winners, speeches being made, winners and losers congratulating each other, some staying, others leaving saying, “So-long I’ll see ya next year,” (here’s hopin’) when the sixth Annual Bowling Tournament will be even more successful. .
Trip home — jabber-jabber-jabber for several miles, but the back seat soon calmed down and sweet strains of snoring penetrated the air — (By the way who was sleeping?)
Back home again all rested up and serene that Gowanda gang is going around singing, “Cleveland — Thanks for the memories” — I wonder why is it because of the wonderful showing we made in bowling (we’re proud of you Phillips) or is it the new friends and flames we’ve met and made.
Can’t you see Mary Krall walking around in a daze —
Frank Krall — Wow! those eyes she’s got.
Johnny Batchen — I left my heart in Cleveland.
Joe Klancer — Oh Mooney
Annie Kaluza — It’s only the beginning.
L. Sladich and H. Žužek — We don’t think we’ll ever be normal again.
Eliz. Batchen — Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Sweetheart.
How about you other visi tors? I bet Barberton is going around singing, “I get along without that beer very well—
Center — I’ve got a Sweet Little Headache.
By the way, thanks for the Austrian Army hat — quite souvenir.
Ely, Minn. — Grand crowd, real sports and how they can swing it, but when they got home, they were singing, “Oh Mama dear, get that pillow over here.”
Claridge — Are you still singing, “I want a beer just like the beer, that pickled my old man” Lorain — We’ve still got a chance.
Pittsburgh — I’m lost in a fog.
Struthers — I kicked the bucket.
Last of all Cleveland — Motto - Scram you nasty people Good thing it only comes once a year.
In ending I wish to thank all those, in behalf of the Pathfinders of Gowanda, who made our stay in Cleveland so enjoy able — also F. Zelnik who aided me in writing this article.

Cleveland, O. — On April 22 and 23 the South Slavonic Catholic Union held its Fifth National Bowling Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio.
I wish to congratulate team George Washington, No. 180 for winning first prize in the team events ... I wish to congratulate all the bowlers from Pennsylvania, New York, Minnesota and Ohio for their fine SSCU spirit in coming from far and near distances to participate in this two-day tournament.
While I attended the Tournament Dance I was fortunate enough, and I mean fortunate to meet Little Stan. Don’t let anyone tell you he isn’t a jitter bug because the big cop at the door looked at Stan more than once. Stan also encouraged me to write and said he hopes he would see me in August. I’m sorry he couldn’t come to visit at our house, but I know these reporters. I bet he received an invitation from all fnembers to come and visit them, and I bet he disappointed many. Stan, next time you come to Cleveland you must come and visit us . . . Make a note of that.
I also talked with Mr. and Mrs. Kolar, (here I had the pleasure of meeting the editor’s charming wife). I talked with Mr. Rogelj; Mr. Terbovec was too busy as was Mr. Lunka (his daughter looks like a future jitterbug although she is only two and one-half years old). I also was speaking with Phil Sirca (reporter) and imagine Phil not taking notes. Why? Because he was dancing with all the pretty girls . . . Milly Poklar and Anne Winkler (a proud new member dancing .taking turns off to dance with Jean Prime)... Kristoff playing the Beer Barrel Polka so many times pretty Sally Hrvatin not even missing it once . . . Little Stan and his friend doing a special jitter dance for ail the folks: .V That cop keeping his eye on Little Stan . . . Young boys of No. 173 Ilirska Vila have their baseball outfits ... Bill Kozar taking off time from behind the bar to watch a few certain dancers? . The man from Claridge, Pa., of No. 40 (I’m sorry I forgot his name telling me why he got late to the dance). They were in an accident. Bumped by a woman driver! . . . Anne Prosen selling tickets ... The young lady from Gowanda, New York coming up to me and saying, “Were you with my brother last night at the dance?” I wasn’t! (I wish I knew her name and I hope she reads this.)
Sunday, April 23 I went to watch the bowlers . . . Bang! Yippee! . . . All these strange noises . . . Some drinking beer... Joe Ujcic and Phil Sirca all tired out (scorekeepers) ... Little Stan looking tired, but managed to keep smiling . . . Mr. Mike Poklar and Mr. T. Prime bowling in the morning and in the afternoon managing to see the Indians play . . . Thanks to J. B. Halucka for helping me out on my notes. He is from Claridge, Pa., No. 40. This lodge won the duckpin title on April 2nd . . .
Bill Kozar so tired from bowl ing, but managing to wave to me.
On April 23 the banquet was leld at the Bridge Tavern. Lit-le Stan made a speech concerning the conventions and prizes were given away.
So ended the Fifth SSCU Bowling Tournament and your snooping reporter ending up with: “Thanks to all who made his Fifth SSCU Tournament a success.” Swell SSCU spirit!!

Ely, Minn. — Uncle Sam was a little late in delivering the U. S. Mail this week, so Little Stan really had to put on the old thinking cap in an effort to remember where he left off last week. Right now, the green V-8 is at home, enjoying wonderful memories of the trip, and so it is with the rest of the tourists.
Bridge Tavern, scene of the tournament banquet in Cleveland remains vividly clear. For here keglers from all competing states rubbed elbows, enjoyed a last get-together before leaving for home and work. A fine dinner, after which came the addresses, awarding of prizes, and acknowledgements. Still remember Bro. Janko Rogelj’s bow as he was called upon. And Bro. Anton Okolish’s talk in which he urged more get-together’s like this for the younger members. Bro. John Lunka, fourth vice president; Bro. Paul Oblock, first vice president; and Bro. Louis Kolar’s toasting!
Much credit for the success of the entire affair goes to Mathew Molk, who was chairman, John F. (Bub) Kardell, and Bro. Kolar, who worked with a fine energetic committee to handle the tournament with excellent finesse. Remember A1 Jelercic, who is about to receive official notice any day now that he will have qualified as delegate to the Second Athletic Conference. Bro. Jelercic can really swing the accordion around too. He says he’s looking forward to that Minnesota trip all right.
Names! — names make news, true! But Little Stan met so many fine people that he wanted to remember every single name. But alas and alack, sitting here at the typewriter finds a memory that is good in remembering events, but poor in placing names. Faces are not forgotten, however. So while you read this, just feel with Little Stan, knowing that he hasn’t really forgotten you in his big heart.
Getting back to the banquet, remembered “Ham” Laurich, A1 Jelercic, ar>d John Lunka distributing the medals and prize money. All winners were roundly applauded, and they were proud of their accomplishment as was our entire SSCU.
Jitter-dancing, in the graceful loose-hipped manner was another attraction at the banquet. Heh Heh. All this in one fine evening of entertainment. They tell me that there was splendid cooperation from all Cleveland lodges in sponsoring, preparing and working towards the success of the tournament. Congratulations, Cleveland! — You did a remarkably fine job! We from Ely really appreciate everything much!
‘Samson’ Drobnič and his wife, the former Edith Palcic of Gowanda, New York, were at the banquet with their little cute baby. They told us that young Bobby Palcic, a juvenile candidate, was a hum dinger, arid lots of fun. He has a hobby of saving book matches, and we’re going to save some for him and deliver them when he gets here this August.
Everywhere the hustle and bustle of excitement, as the Fifth National SSCU Bowling tournament went down into the records of history, marked as a great success. Next day to Nova Doba office where the work of getting out the paper was the big order of the day. Little Stan typed out enough copy to take care of the column for two weeks, because he ijust knew he couldn’t get home in time for the following issue.
LITTLE STAN’S ARTICLE

to get her quota! Hats off to Justine! Entered as the third candidate for Lodge No. 1 is James Klobuchar, Jimmy to you! Looks like there is no other word but success for this great campaign of ours!
Met an enterprising and energetic young lady in Cleveland by name of Elsie Desmond who covers a lot of territory in her monthly juvenile contributions. Met her mother Mrs. Hrvatin, and Sally Hrvatin. How Little Stan wished he could have stopped in for dinner as invited. But time was so pressing that it was next to impossible. And it was with a sore heart that got stuck somewhere in the throat that Little Stan left Cleveland, where the people were so kind and generous, such wonderful hosts. So—well that when we got home we felt empty, for we were so lonesome for what was left behind!
IN ANOTHER COLUMN IN THIS ISSUE YOU’LL READ MORE ABOUT THE TRIP EAST BY LITTLE STAN AND THE ARROWHEAD BOWLERS. BUT MEANTIME CANDIDATES, WATCH FOR THE POSTMAN! HE’LL BE BRINGING YOU LETTERS FROM ELY. JUST HOP ON THE MAGIC CARPET, TAKE THESE NEXT TWO AND FINAL MONTHS, QUALIFY AS DELEGATE AND GO TO TOWN WITH SULTAN LITTLE STAN AND HIS HAREM! SCARUM!

Sentinels’ Slips
Every one must admit that a secretary’s duties are no picnic. But it can easily be made a position soft as pie IF all members pay their assessments on TIME. It’s possible you know. Just if the members care too, and make it their business. Why not take a tip from Mrs. Roman Rybarski. She came to the writer’s home and paid her husband’s dues for two advance months and one for her son’s. Just imagine, if you please, how much worry you could eliminate for your secretary if all members would follow this policy. Then too, there’s John Bevec. He laid on the line dues for three months. Yes, if all members were of this type, a secretary’s duties would be play. Why not try this method for a while? 'Adopt the motto: “on time” as your personal slogan. Then see the secretary’s face light up at the meetings. And you can bet your sweet life that he will go out of his way to please you. Why not try it for a while? If you do, it will become a very valuable asset to you.
A Reminder
Have you marked July first on your calendar? If not, just remember to save July First for Strabane. Yes, it’s Strabane, July 1st, Drenik’s Park and VICTORY PICNIC. Four GOOD things to remember.
RESOLUTION
White Valley, Pa. — The following resolution was adopted by the Western Pennsylvania Federation of SSCU lodges, at its meeting held on April 30, in Claridge, Pa.:
Whereas, f«pm the economical point of view it is very necessary and beneficial that all Slovene fraternal organizations merge, let it be decided on the April 30, 1939 meeting of our federation of SSCU lodges, that by means of this resolution, which should be published as soon as possible in our official organ, Nova Doba, to appeal to all Slovene benefit organizations in the United States of America, to take the necessary steps to make this praiseworthy idea a reality, as'soon as possible.

Saw a couple of Cleveland hurlers walk 15 White Sox in a drab game, which needed only music to lull you to sleep. A scene quite different from the opener which saw Bob Feller tame the Detroit Tigers.
Misses Barbara Matesha and Mary Kolenz left for Detroit early Monday morning to continue a vacation trip as planned. They had a wonderful time, and thank Cleveland immensely for their fine hospitality.
(Continued next week.)
Whereas ,it is known to us that in some of our Slovene fraternal organizations, with whom we wish to merge, require in their by-laws certain religious fulfillments from their members, and through their house organs and otherwise give vent to religious propaganda, and
Whereas, is is also known to us that other Slovene organizations, with whom we wish to merge, contain provisions in their by-laws giving advantages to members with certain convictions, and by means of their house organs and otherwise give vent to certain political ideas, and likewise direct or permit anti-religious propaganda, or propaganda against certain political parties, and
Whereas our SSCU is totally neutral in subjects mentioned above, and, in fact, demands respect for beliefs of its individual members, and does not permit offense in such matters, our federation sees in the by-laws, house organs and through other channels of the foregoing mentioned Slovene benefit organizations, as an unsurmountable obstacle hindering a merging.
And because of this, we see that it is absolutely necessary that all such obstacles be removed, to make possible the necessary merger, and to protect the membership of our SSCU so that they shall be guaranteed, through the by-laws, free thought, and against attacks or offense because of their indi vidual convictions.
Let it be resolved, to appeal to all Slovene benefit organizations, which unlike our SSCU possess certain leanings, to take the necessary steps in their bylaws, in their house organs and otherwise, to effect the necessary changes or additions, so that they will be'like our SSCU, totally unbiased, and that only when these necessary steps have been taken should work begin on the merger.
For the Western Pennsylvania Federation:
J oseph Sneler, President; Jurij Previc, Secretary.

ski konvenciji, ko je s pomočjo svojega očeta nabral 41 novih kandidatov oziroma članov za mladinski oddelek.
Ko je to izvedela mlada so-sestra Mary Ambrozich, se je oglasila pri meni z željo, da ji izročim 40 prošenj za nove mladinske člane, češ, da dekleta ne bodo dopustila, da bi jim fantje odnesli prvenstvo. Po par dneh se je zopet oglasila, to pot z zmagoslavnim smehljajem na obrazu, in mi izročila vseh 40 prošenj izpolnjenih. Pač dovolj vzroka za njen ponos in srečen smehljaj!
V	tem ima članstvo po zapadu dokaz, kaj vse se lahko doseže, če se kdo za kako idejo resno zavzame. In posebno če se gre za dobro stvar bratskega zavarovanja.
Prihodnjo nedeljo bomo obhajali tako zvani Materinski dan, ko se vsi dobri sinovi in hčere spomnijo svojih mater z voščili in darovi. Ali ne bi bilo prav, da se pri tej priliki spomnimo tudi naše matere J. S. K. Jednote in ji za njen praznik privedemo v dar nekaj novih članov!
Na člane in članice po zapadu apeliram, da se odzovejo moji prošnji, kolikor jim prilike in razmere dopuščajo. Saj ne prosim zase, saj ne gre za mojo osebno korist! Gre se za napredek in ugled JSKJ in gre se za koristi tistih, ki se bodo pridružili naši pošteni in trdni organizaciji in za njihovo drage.
Porabimo ta lepi mesec maj in sledeči mesec junij, ko je narava v naj bujnejši rasti, s tem, da pomagamo k prav tako bujni rasti naši Jednoti. Zame ne bo večjega veselja kot da bom mogel v začetku avgusta tega leta spremljati kar najštevilnejšo delegacijo na mladinsko konvencijo v deželo desettisočerih jezer, v zeleno Minnesoto, v mesto Ely ,kjer je rojstni kraj in dom naše Jednote. To bo častno za naš vse, za mlade delegate pa bo užitek prve vrste, ki ga ne bodo pozabili vse svoje žive dni. Torej, bratje in sestre, ne odlašajmo z našim kampanjskim delom. Samo poldrugi mesec kampanje je še pred nami, toda v tem času se še lahko prav častno izkažemo. Naš zapad se je že tekom prejšnjih kampanj sijajno izkazal, zato upam, da bo tudi iz te kampanje izšel okrašen z lovorjevim vencem!

White Valley, Pa. — Nekoliko zgodovine društva št. 116 JSKJ v pelmontu, Pa., ki bo letos 13. maja obhajalo svojo 25-letnico.
Bilo je pred 28 leti ko je Pittsburgh Coal Co., tukaj odprla premogov rov, kateri je zdaj že izčrpan. Ljudje so pričel^ prihajati semkaj za delom in med njimi je bilo tudi precej Sloven-cev.Delo je bilo lahko dobiti, dokler niso bile kompanijske hiše polne. Potem pa je moral vsak,ki je hotel delo dobiti, kupiti lot od kompanije in si zgraditi stanovanje. Tako je tudi več Slovencev kupilo lote in postavilo hiše na njih. Kompanija je novodo-šlece zagotavljala, da je premoga tam dosti za 40 let. Drugod so bili premogovi rovi že izčrpani. Največ Slovencev je prišlo iz naselbin Plum Creek, Turtle Creek in Makaret. Ta kraj so imenovali Delmont, ker se je tako imenoval tudi premogov rov. Tu, kjer se zdaj imenuje White Valley, se je imenovalo Pedora; nekateri še zdaj rabijo to ime.
Slovenci, ki so se semkaj priselili, so začeli razmišljevati o ustanovitvi lastnega društva. V naselbini Export so že imeli društvo št. 57 JSKJ, in pri tistem društvu je bil v veljavi sklep, da mora vsak član, ki pride s | prestopnim listom od drugega j društva, prispevati po en dolar ■ za društveno zastavo. Nekaterim to ni ugajalo, pa so začeli razpravljati o ustanovitvi novega i društva v Delmoutu.
Bilo je v januarju 1914, ravno na dan sv. Pavla, ko so se zbrali rojaki pri sobratu Matevžu Homcu (katerega že več let krije ameriška zemlja) ,kjer so se pogovorili in sklenili ustanoviti novo društvo. Ker je bila ta ustanovna seja na dan sv. Pavla, so tudi društvu dali to ime; iz glavnega urada je potem dobilo društvo številko 116. Največ članov je prišlo s prestopnimi listi od št. 31 v Braddocku in od št. 33 v Centru. Dobili so tudi | nekaj novih članov. Od ustanovnih članov živita samo še dva, namreč sobrat Frank Jereb, ki je zdaj pri društvu št. 68 v Mo-nessenu, in Frank Mlinar, ki je zdaj v Centru pri št. 33. Ustanovitelja društva pa sta bila že umrli Matevž Home in sedanji društveni predsednik John Korce.
Kakor je razvidno iz društvenih knjig, je bil poslan meseca marca 1914 prvi asesment na j glavni urad, in sicer v znesku J $14.74. Meseca marca 1939 pa je j bilo poslanega glavnemu bla-j gajniku skupnega asesmenta za odrasli in mladinski oddelek $180.49.

Za ieto 1915 pa so bili izvoljeni sledeči uradniki; John Rupnik, predsednik; Joseph Kiren, podpredsednik; Andrej Bogataj ,tajnik; Jurij Avčin, blagajnik; John Remic, zastopnik. Seje so se vršile do meseca aprila 1915 pri sobratu Matevžu Homcu, potem pa pri Juriju Previcu. [ dokler ni bila zgrajena sloven ska dvorana.	t

Na konvencijo leta 1916 je naše društvo skupno z društvom št. 57 poslalo delegata v osebi sobrata Johna Rupnika, ki je bil na 10. konvenciji izvoljen v porotni odbor.

Leta 1931 je društvo razvilo svojo društveno zastavo. Meseca junija 1931 je predsednik Anton Kovačič resigniral in na njegovo mesto je bil izvoljen Mike Kostelic. Na 14. konvencijo leta 1932 je bil poslan kot delegat Mike Kostelic.
V	letih 1933, 1934, 1935 in 1936 je bil sledeči odbor: Jurij Previc, predsednik-, Alexander Škerlj, tajnik; Frank Kern, blagajnik. Na konvenciji leta 1936 je bil delegat Jurij Previc.

Odbor za leto 1939: John Korče, predsednik; Jurij Previc, tajnik; Andrej Bogataj, zapisnikar; Frank Kern, blagajnik.
Društvo je priredilo vsako leto eno veselico ali pa piknik, kar je včasih dobro, včasih pa bolj slabo izpadlo, kakor so bile pač razmere.
Kakor je razvidno iz zapisnika, so najdalje vodili društvene urade: John Korče, Alexander Škerlj, Jurij Previc, Andrej Bogataj in Frank Kerp.^Da me ne bo kdo napačno razumel, naj pripomnim, da sem podatke iz društvenega zapisnika povzel le bolj površno in tudi le bolj površno opisal, kar mi je znano iz mojega 24-letnega članstva pri tem društvu. Ako bi hotel navesti imena vseh, ki so zavzema-
li	razne urade, bi Všefo preveč časa, pa tudi preveč prostora;v listu.
K zaključku še enkrat vabim vsa okoliška društva, vse posamezne člane in članice JSKJ in vse druge rojake tega okrožja, da se udeležijo proslave 25-1 et-nice, ki se bo vršila v soboto 13. maja 1939. Za plesno godbo bo skrbel orkester Franka Podobnika iz Centra. Navzočih bo več glavnih odbornikov. Glavni govornik bo sobrat Janko N. Rogelj, prvi glavni nadzornik JSKJ iz Clevelanda, Ohio. Pričetek veselice bo ob 6. uri zvečer, govorniki pa nastopijo ob 8. uri zvečer. Na svidenje! — Za društvo št. 116 JSKJ:
Jurij Previc, tajnik.
Windber, Pa. — Člani društva Radnik, št. 204 JSKJ, so vljudno vabljeni, da se. polnoštevilno udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 21. maja in se bo pričela ob 1.30 popoldne. Imamo neke važne zadeve za rešiti, obenem , pa moramo tudi izpolniti eno izpraznjeno mesto v odboru. Članstvo našega društva se malo zanima za seje, kar nikakor ni prav. Enkrat na mesec zaniore že vsak žrtvovati uro ali dve časa za društvo. Vsaka zadeva se najbolje reši, če so vsi člani navzoči. Torej, pridite vsi na^sejo v nedeljo 21. maja! Bratski pozdrav! — Za društvo Radnik, št. 204 JSKJ:

White V alien, />a- 1— Na seji federacije društev JSKJ, ki se je vršila 30. aprila v .Claridgeu, Pa., je bilo zastopanih 14 društev po 38 zastopnikih in zastopnicah. Na seji seje o marsičem razpravljalo, kar bo bolj natančno razvidno iz zapisnika, ko bo priobčen. Med drugim je bilo sklenjeno, da se društvom, ki dolgujejo članarino federaciji za leto 1938, ista odpusti. Sklenjeno je pa tudi bilo, da društva, ki pošljejo zastopnike na prihodnje zborovanje federacije, morajo imeti plačano članarino za leto 1939, sicer nimajo pravice do zastopstva ali glasovanja.
Na tem mestu naj bo omenjeno, da je za leto 1939 plačalo že 10 društev svojo letno članarino. Upam, da tudi ostala društva kmalu pošljejo svoje prispevke. Prihodnja seja federacije se bo vršila zopet v Claridgeu, Pa., in sicer 30. julija. Po zborovanju se bo vršil v bližini omenjene naselbine piknik, katerega priredi društvo št. 40 JSKJ skupno s federacijo.
N^ seji 30. aprila se je razpravljalo tudi o združenju slovenskih podpornih organizacij in je bila z ozirom na to sprejeta resolucija, ki se glasi: RESOLUCIJA
Ker je iz ekonomskega stališča zelo potrebno in koristno, da se vse slovenske podporne organizacije združijo, bodi sklenjeno na današnji seji 30. aprila 1939 naše federacije društev JSKJ, da se potom te resolucije, katera naj bode kakor hitro mogoče priobčena v našem glasilu Nova Doba, apelira na vse slovenske podporne organizacije v Združenih državah Amerike, da naj narede potrebne ukrepe, da se ta lepa in koristna ideja uresniči, kakor hitro mogoče.
Ker pa nam je znano, da imajo nekatere naše slovenske •podporne organizacije, s katerimi se želimo združiti, v svojih pravilih določbe, potom katerih zahtevajo od svojega članstva izpolnjevanje verskih dolžnosti, ter delajo potom svojega tiska ali drugače propagando za religijo,
In ker nam je istotako znano, da imajo nekatere druge naše slovenske organizacije, s katerimi se želimo združiti, v svojih pravilih take določbe, potom katerih se daje prednost članom gotovega osebnega prepričanja, ter potom svojega tiska ali drugače zagovarjajo gotove politične ideje in istotako vodijo ali’ dopuščajo protiversko propagando, ali propagando proti gotovim političnim strankam,
In ker je naša JSKJ popolnoma nepristranska v zadevah gori omenjenih in Iker celo zahteva spoštovanje vsakega osebnega prepričanja svojega članstva, ter ne dopušča, da se bi isto žalilo, vidi naša federacija v pravilih, tisku in v drugem v prej gori omenjenih slovenskih podpornih organizacij, zelo veliko in nepremostljivo zapreko v dosego združenja.
Ker je temu tako, vidimo absolutno potrebo, da se vse take zapreke odstranijo, da se tako omogoči potrebno in koristno združenji, .n da se tako obvaruje članstvo :aše J. S. K. Jednote, da ne izgubi svojo potom pravil garantirano osebno svobodo ter da se tako obvaruje napadanja ali sramotenja njih osebnega prepričanja.
Bodi torej sklenjeno, - da se apelira na vse take slovenske podporne organizacije, katere niso kot m, yd J. S. K. Jednota popc.norna nepristranske, da narede v svojih ustavah, pravilih, v tisku in drugače, vse take potrebne spremembe ali dodatke, da bodo kot naša J. S. K. Jed-nota popolnoma nepristranske, nakar in šele potem, ko se vidi, da se je temu ugodilo, se naj začne s pripravami za združenje.

Canonsburg, Pa. — Spet smo srečno prijadrali v najlepši letni čas, v cveteči mnjnik. Ako pogledam skozi okna mojega bivališča, vidim cvetoče drevje kot lepe šopke mod svežim zelenjem. Vse je lepše, kakor'je bilo pred par meseci. To se pozna tudi na obrazih prijateljev, ki jih srečujem. Na vsakem obrazu je videti več optimizma in več hrepenenja po lepotah življenja. Vsi se želimo otresti zimske mračnosti in se spet enkrat razigrano nasmejati.
V' to avrho bo dobro služila šaljiva igra “Dva potepuha”, ki jo bo dramsko društvo “Soča”
! vprizorilo v nedeljo 21. maja v dvorani SNPJ v Strabane, Pa. i Igra se prične ob 2:30 popol-| dne.
V tej igri nastopata dva premetena potepuha, ki se mata prav debelo lagati in ki v splo-i šnem rada živita na račun dru-! gih. Tudi drugi karakterji v igri i so smešni in tako nudi vsa igra | občinstvu mnogo zabave.
V prvem dejanju bomo videli, j Kako se ta dva potepuha zatečeta v gostilno k “Polžu”, kjer si privoščita dobrih jedil in pijač,
; ko pa je treba plačati, se izkaže, l da sta suha, nakar ju gospodar pomeče iz gostilne, njegova žena ju. pa z metlo namaha. Za to ponižanje sc hočeta maščevati,
; preoblečeta sc v policaja, in iz-. vlečeta od gostilničarja znatno i ysoto denarja, ker mož nima prav čiste vesti. Na pozorišče jpride gostilničarjeva žena Klara, ki spet pošteno z metlo obdela potepuha, ki teta si ravno sluv šala prilastiti meso, jajca, klobase in druge dobre reči iz kc šare, katero je bila priletna jajčarica pred gostilno pustila. Taki in slični smešni prizori se vrstijo drugi za drugim. Na pozorišče pridejo tudi drugi junaki in junakinje, policaji itd. Pote-| puha se prelevita tudi v padarja in vlečeta lahkoverne vaščane nekaj časa, toda ne'vseh. Njune ! zdravniške kariere je kmalu ko-; nec, ker ju opazi oko postave. Vseeno pa pred zaključkom po-i tepuha tako navijeta uro poli-jcaju, da ju ne bo pozabil vse žive dni. Od vsega imata potepuha še največ užitka, četudi jih včasih dobita po grbi in če-j tudi drugače končno takratko | vlečeta.
Vsi prijatelji “Soče” in vsi rojaki in rojakinje tega okrožja, ki si želijo privoščiti par ur smeha in zabave, so vabljeni, da pridejo v nedeljo 21. maja v Strabane gledat “Dva potepu-i ha”. Po igri bo prosta zabava v j spodnji dvorani. Na svidenje! — Za dramski klub “Soča”:

Brailli nek, Pa. — Dne 1. maja sem prejel iz Cooperstowna, N. Y., žalostno vest, da je tam preminil sobrat John Kodrič, član društva št. 31 JSKJ. Pokojnik je bil rojen leta 1860, torej je dočakal lepo starost 79 let.; k društvu je pristopil 20. avgusta 1905. Člane našega društva vabim, da se udeležijo prihodnje I seje, da se pogovorimo glede ; venca. Mislim, da bo društvo za ! venec namenjeno vsoto poslalo v gotovini. Pogrebcev, žal, nismo mogli poslati 500 milj daleč. Naj bo pokojnemu sobratu ohranjen blag spomin.
Pri tej priliki želim opozoriti oddaljene člane društva št. 31 JSK.J. da v bodoče ne bom sprejemal privatnih čekov v pokritje asesmentov. Že parkrat se mi je zgodilo, da sem prejel i tak ček, in, ko sem ga hotel ‘ vnovčiti, se je izkazalo, da ni ; bilo zanj pokritja oziroma me ;je banka pozneje o tem obvestila. Potem sem bil v kaši jaz. Od sedaj zanapiej bom spreje-jmal asesmente samo v gotovini,
! v bančnem draftu ali pa v pošt-I nem money ordru. Člani, ki ne bodo na ta način plačali pravo-! časno, bodo sami sebe suspendirali. Asesmente moram dobiti do 28. dne v mesecu. Na vsaki seji j se mi predbaciva, da premilost-no postopam s člani, ki ne plačujejo redno asesmentov, in tudi nadzorni odbor me kritizira zaradi dolgov članov. V sake reči pa mora biti enkrat konec. Ako bi bil bolj oster, bi bilo v mojo korist. Prosim, da člani to poročilo upoštevajo, če pa jim ni kaj po volji, naj pridejo na sejo in naj si izvolijo drugega tajnika.
V nedeljo 23. aprila se je zbralo v Hrvatski dvorani v East
i Pittsburghu 17 zastopnikov, ki so reprežentirali 8 tukajšnjih društev, in na tistem sestanku je bilo priporočano, da bi vsa | tukajšnja društva priredila to
poletje en skupni piknik. Ome-! n jena društva spadajo k različnim organizacijam, člane našega društva torej pozivam, da se | udeležijo prihodnje seje, na ka-jteri bo o tem več poročano. Na ! tej seji ho imel vsak pravico, da i pove svoje mnenje in sklenilo se bo, če se naše društvo ideji | za ta skupni piknik pridruži ali ! ne. Na seji bo čas govoriti in j glasovati za ali proti. Torej pri-|dite vsi člani in članice na našo jnihodnjo sejo. Bratski pozdrav! j— Za društvo Sv. Alojzija, št. i 31 JSKJ:
Martin Hudale,
Moon Iiun, Pa. — Po daljšem I času se spet enkrat oglasim v i našem glrr.iiu. V prvi vrsti zato, j da, izvršim društveni sklep in i povabili vse elane in članice ! društva št. 99 JSKJ na sejo, ki i se bo vršila v nedeljo 21. maja v ! navadnih prostorih in se bo pri-! čela ob eni uri popoldne. Na vsaki seji se rešujejo važne zadeve, zato bi bila dolžnost vsakega dobrega člana, da se sej | udeležuje. Društva ne bi smeli poznati samo v slučajih bolezni ali smrti, ampak tudi takrat,
! kadar se vršijo seje in kadar je 1 treba plačati asesmente.
Pred par meseci je bilo sklenjeno, da naše društvo priredi piknik v nedeljo 28. maja v Portman’s Grove. Ker bo to prvi piknik v tej sezoni, upam, da ! bo številno obiskan. V prvi vr-| sti so seveda vabljeni na piknik | člani in rojaki iz domače nasel-! bine. Seveda pa so na poset pik-| nika vabljeni tudi člani in vsi I drugi rojaki in rojankinje iz so-sednih naselbin. Za postrežbo bo j v polni meri poskrbljeno in za | plesalce bo na razpolago dober | slovenski orkester i:; države ; Ohio. Torej, vsi, ki se želijo v J nedeljo 28. maja zabavati v ' prosti naravi v veseli družbi rojakov, na j, pridejo na naš piknik.
i Tukajšnji Gospodinjski klub I priredi v soboto 13. maja veselico v proslavo Materinskega j dne, ki se bo obhajal 14. maja. : Na veselici bo igral orkester iz Greensburga, tisti, ki ga siisi-] mo na radio. Vsi rojaki in rojakinje tega okrožja so prijazno j vabljeni na to prireditev.
j Predno'zaključim, priporočam ] sobratom in sosestram, da sk.it-jsamo po naših močeh pomagati ! k uspehu sedanje kampanje s ; pridobivanjem novih čiano/ v j odrasli in mladinski oddelek. Za j nove člafte mladinskega oddel-jka ni treba nikake zdravniške j preiskave; samo da je otrok 'zdrav, p;i lahko post/me čUn. Za nove člane odraslega oddel-| ka, pa je potrebna zdravniška i preiskava, toda stroške zdravni-
I	ške preiskave do vsote dveh do-[ larjev povrne Jednota. Torej, pojdimo na delo, da povečamo inaše društvo z novimi člani obea | oddelkov. Mi starejši bomo po-; časi odpadli kot jesensko listje \?> dreves, zato potrebujemo ved-j nega prirastka.
K sklepu še enkrat: ne pozabite priti na sejo v nedeljo 21. maja! Sestrski pozdrav! — Za društvo Sv. Frančiška, št. 99 JSKJ:

Eveleth, Minn. — Naše društvo št. 25 JSKJ je v preteklem mesecu in sicer v teku dveh dni izgubilo kar dva dolgoletna člana, oziroma enega člana in eno članico. Dne 24. aprila zvečer je umrl zadet od kapi sobrat Anton Zidar, star 78 let. Pokojnik je. bil član našega društva in Jednote od leta 1902. Rojen je bil v vasi Rašica pri Velikih Laščah na Dolenjskem. Bil je vseskozi dober član j n je vedno skrbel, da je imel svoje asesmente točno plačane. Pokojnik zapušča v starem kraju soprogo Marijo, sina Antona in hčer Julijo, tukaj pa hčer Josephino Debeljak in enega vnuka v Denverju, Colorado.

NOVA DC/BA, 10. MAJA, 1939

(Z
:Beautiful Ohio
Pravijo, da kdor ne more biti patriot v malem, ne more biti v velikem. To bi se razumelo nekako tako, da kdor ne ljubi svojega mesta in svoje države, ne more ljubiti te velike republike. 'Vse dobro se začne doma, potem pa se razširi na sobrate, na rojake, na sodržavljane iti na človeštvo v splošnem.
To naj bi bil nekak uvod k naslovu “Beautiful Ohio.” Kdor bi dvomil, da država Ohio zasluži ta naslov, naj bi si jo ogledal prav v tem času, ko je zlati maj izvabil na dan cvetje sadnega drevja. Niti mi, ki živimo tu morda že desetletja, se navadno ne zavedamo, da je Ohio prav za prav velik sadni vrt. Celo v industrialnem mestu kot je Cleveland je v stanovanjskih delih istega nešteto sadnih dreves. Toda po navadi jih opazimo le v tem času, ko cveto. Tu se ti nasmehne iz malega vrta zardela breskev, tam gleda izza hiše kot radovedna devojka sne-žnobela črešnja, zopet drugod trosi na prozaično garažo svoje bele “snežinke” cveteča hruška ali jablana.
Toda prava cvetna demonstracija je šele zunaj na deželi. Pozna pomlad, ki je nenadoma postala skoro poletno gorka, je izvabila v skupno pomladansko procesijo lepotice, ki se običajno kažejo posamezno, v določenih presledkih. Rožnate breskve, snežno bele črešnje in slive, bledo oranžne hruške in rožnato nadahnjene jablane, vse so istočasno poslale svoje čare v lepotno tekmo. Vse so lepe posamezno in vse so lepe v skupnosti. Prva nagrada gre vsem.
Taka je bila vsaj moja sodba preteklo nedeljo dopoldne, ko sem se vozil iz Clevelanda v Barberton, Ohio, na sejo federacije društev JSKJ. Imel sem šoferja, mojo zvesto Lizo sem bil pustil doma v garaži, in tako sem lahko neženirano pasel svojo radovednost po valoviti beautiful Ohio. In to vam je bil “show,” da ne more lepšega pokazati nobena filmska družba za milijon dolarjev. Veliki in mali cvetni šopki in prelestni venci so raztreseni na vse strani, kakor daleč sega pogled. Skupine cvetočih sadnih dreves okoli farmerskih domovanj, ob cestah, po gričih, dolinicah in planjavah. Celo po pašnikih, po malih zelenečih gozdovih in po živih mejah so kot sladke misli razsejane bele cvetne baklje črešenj. Večina njih utone v poletnem zelenju; le spomladi jih vidimo, potem pa pozabimo. Te po gozdih in živih mejah razsejane črešnje se mi zdijo kot pesniki, ki se nam pokažejo v svoji briljanci le v pesmih, drugače pa so ljudje kot drugi. Pesniška doba črešenj je spomladi. Cvetje drugih dreves, dasi se nekoliko razlikuje od črešnjevega, pa se zliva z njim v prelestno harmonijo pomladne himne.
In ta pomladanska harmonija je vladala tudi na seji federacije. Nobene slabe besede, resne ,tu in tam s humorjem potresene debate brez sence izzivanj, razlike mnenj kot cvetje različnih rastlin, ki se razcveta po svoje, vendar tvori harmonično celoto, tu in tam nekoliko pesimizma, drugod prekipevajoč optimizem, lepo zastopstvo mladine; ki h"rmonira in hoče sodelovati z nami starejšimi kot mi z njo, stoprocentna lojalnost organizaciji, — česa bi si človek 'še želel! Morda bi si zaželel s pesnikom Gregorčičem:	“Tu
dom je moj ,tu moj je kraj, tu živel rad bi vekomaj; ni kraja mi krasnejšega, ni ljudstva mi milejšega!”
Kdo naj dobi kredit za vse to? Ali naša Jednota, ki propagira pravo bratstvo, toleranco in amerikanizern? Ali hvale vredno sodelovanje mladine s starejšimi in obratno? Ali iskrena pri jaznost in neprekosljiva gostoljubnost barbertonskih rojakov?
Ali prelestni maj š svojimi čari? Ali naša beautiful Ohio? Ali kombinacija vsega tega?
Vsak je upravičen do svoje sodbe. Jaz za svojo osebo rečem le, da je krasno' zaiti v tako sončno in prijateljsko družbo, ko se v beautiful Ohio smeje maj v vsej svoji prelesti.
NEWYORSKA RAZSTAVA
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
General Motors je baje porabila pet milijonov dolarjev za zgradbo svojega paviljona na razstavi. Ta investicija je bila napravljena samo za reklamo, ker družba ne bo prodajala ničesar na razstavnem prostoru.
Pričakuje se, da bo razstava tekom leta privedla v New York okrog 40 do 60 milijonov ljudi, ki bodo potrošili približno tisoč milijonov dolarjev. Od te vsote bo porabljeno 70 milijonov na razstavi, 200 milijonov za zabave, 50 milijonov za osebno postrežbo, 200 milijonov za stanovanje, 10 milijonov za telefon, bizojav, poštnino in slično, 140 milijonov za nakup raznega blaga, 100 milijonov za trans-portacijo in 230 milijonov dolarjev za jedila in pijače.
Nekateri večji hoteli v New Yorku so pred otvoritvijo razstave porabili za predelave in razna izboljšanja več milijonov dolarjev. V primerni bližini razstave je bilo zgrajenih za 90 milijonov dolarjev novih poslopij. Za izboljšavo bližnjega letališča se je porabilo 35 milijonov dolarjev. V glavnem mestu Washingtonu pričakujejo v letošnjem poletju kakih pet milijonov posetnikov več kot druga leta, ker bodo mnogi oddaljeni posetniki razstave želeli pri isti priliki obiskati tudi glavno mesto republike. Za zgradbo razstave potrebni material je veljal okrog 100 milijonov do larjev in je bil zbran iz vseh delov dežele. Posebnost te razstave je, da so za prostor iste porabili močvirno smetišče pri mestu Corona na Long Islandu. Po zaključku razstave bo večina razstavnega prostora izpre-menjena v park, ki pripade mestu. Mesto New York torej lahko pričakuje največjih obresti od kapitala, ki ga je investiralo v razstavo: tisoč milijonov dolarjev več businessa in lep mestni park.

Pogreb se je vršil ob lepi udeležbi tamkajšnjih naseljencev in domačinov; istega sta se udeležila tudi predsednik in tajnik društva št. 58 JSKJ. Bodi pokojnemu sobratu lahka ameriška gruda!

Pokojnik jo bil tojen v Mozirju na Spod' njem štajerskem, član JSKJ je bil okrog 34 let. Dosegel je visoko starost 83 let.

Milwaukee, JT/s. — Člane in članice društva Združeni Slovani, št. 225 JSKJ, tem potom obveščam, da je bilo na zadnji «
redni seji sklenjeno premeniti datum društvene seje za mesec maj. Namesto, da bi se seja vršila 21. maja, se bo vršila v nedeljo 14. maja, torej en teden bolj zgodaj kot po navadi. Ta izprememba velja samo za me-::ec maj. Napravljena je bila zato, ker se bo v nedeljo 21. maja vršila seja federacije društev JSKJ za državi Illinois in Wisconsin. Zborovanje se bo vršilo v Waukeganu, 111., in sledil bo koncert. Naše društvo je včlanjeno v omenjeni federaciji in na zadnji seji je bilo sklenjeno, da se prireditve v Waukeganu v obilem številu udeležimo.
Torej, pridite polnoštevilno na prihodnjo sejo v nedeljo 14. maja, da se o tem še bolje pogovorimo. Iz Milwaukeeja do Waukegana je le 50 milj daleč in vlaki North Shore Line vozijo med tema dvema mestoma vsako uro; vožnja za osebo na obe strani stane $1.85. Kdor žeii vozni listek naj mi sporoči osebno ali pa me pokliče na telefon: Broadway 5882, pa mu bom vozni listek lahko preskrbela. Kare omenjene železnice ue lahko dobijo na National Ave. in ). 6th St.
Mnogi naši člani imajo svoje avtomobile in se bodo z avtomobili podali v Waukegan, ker 50 milj je ravno kratek izlet. Tisti, ki bi imel v svojih avtomobilih prostor še za kakšnega člana, je prošen, da sporoči na prihodnji seji. S tem se nekoliko znižajo stroški vožnje.
Članom tudi priporočam, da cupijo vstopnice za koncert v Waukeganu na naši društveni :eji. Vstopnice so po 30 centov. Tamkajšnji društveni tajnik mi jih je poslal 25 za razprodajo. Tisti člani, ki se nameravajo podati v Waukegan dopoldne, so prošeni, da mi sporoče, da bom vedela tam zanje naročiti kosilo potom sobrata Stanovnika, tajnika društva št. 94. Koncert se bo pričel ob 2. uri popoldne.
Pokažimo sobratom in sose-stram od drugih društev, da se zanimamo za federacijo in da smo pripravljeni za skupno delo. Presenetimo Waukegančane s tolikim številom posetnikov, da ne bo za nas zadostovala ena miza.
Pri tej priliki sem primorana zopet opozoriti nekatere člane in članice, ki zanemarjajo plačilo svojih asesmentov, da se bom držala pravil in društvenih sklepov. Na letni seji društva je bilo sklenjeno, da se sme založiti za člana asesment iz društvene blagajne le, če prizadeti član pride na sejo in če seja tako izplačilo dovoli. Društvena tajnica pa nima pravice zalagati aaes-menta iz društvene blagajne na svojo roko. Za mesec april sem za člane iz svojega založila $66.16, kar ni zame nikaka malenkost, ker nisem “bankirka.” Tako ne more iti naprej. Tekom let mojega tajnikovanja sem na ta način izgubila, lepo vsoto denarja. V bodoče se hočem tega izogniti. Boljša je zamera kot škoda. Jaz pripadam k štirim organizacijam in še nisem no-benkrat zaostala z mojim asea-mentom pri nobeni. Tako bi moral skrbeti vsak član in članica, da je plačan njegov ali njen
asesment pravočasno. Kadar se pripeti nesreča ali pride bolezen v hišo, vsak član pozna pravila in vsak ve za naslov tajnika ali tajnice. Tako bi moral upoštevati pravila in vedeti za tajnika ali tajnico tudi kadar je čas za plačanie asesmenta.
Društvene tajnike v drugih krajih, ki imajo svoje člane v Milwaukee in v West Allisu, Wis., prosim tem potom, da jih obvestijo, naj vzamejo prestopne liste k našemu društvu. Tako zahtevajo jednotina pravila, toč ka 455, in piav je, da jih vsi upoštevamo. Morda bi bilo priporočljivo, da naš glavni tajnik opozori prizadete društvene tajnike, oa dajo prestopne liote takim članom, ki bivajo daleč od svojega društva, morda celo v drugi državi, pa blizu drugega društva naše Jednote. Zato smo ustanovili lastno društvo v Milwaukee ju, da smo v istem zbrali člane naše Jednote, ki so bivali tu, pa so spadali k društvom \ razna druga mesta in države. Z ozirom na bolniško podporo je za vsakega člana važno, da spada k najbližjemu društvu.
Kako pa z našo kampanjo? Ali bomo poslali naše kandidate za mladinsko konvencijo in at-ietično konferenco v Ely ali ue? Če bi vsak član enega novega pridobil, in s temi, ki sem jih jaz dobila, bi lahko poslali vseh pet kandidatov na konvencijo in še enega po vrhu. Torej, na delo, ker časa ni več dosti.
In še enkrat: ne pozabite, d: se naša prihodnja seja vrši \ nedeljo 14. maja in* da gremo 21. maja na koncert v Waukegan! — Za društvo Združeni Slovani, št. 225 JSKJ:

Chicago, lil. — Večkrat je bi-1 lo že omenjeno v Novi Dobi, da bo imela naša federacija dne 21.1 maja sejo v Waukeganu, 111. Po seji bo koncert z bogatim programom. Iz Chicaga bo pel čet-! verospev “Prešeren,” solo bo pel Thomas Cukale, ki je poznan kot dober pevec, in imeli bomo tudi j kuplet. Kaj mislijo pa Wauke-| gančani napraviti, bo pa že kdo od tam poročal. Iz Chicaga bomo šli z busom, vožnja za tja in nazaj bo stala $1.00. Kar bo ostalo od busa, bomo pa za “medicine” porabili, članstvo in prijatelji so prav prijazno vabljeni, da gredo z nami, zabave bo za vse dovolj. Od tukaj bomo šli med 8. in 9. uro zjutraj. Zbrali se bomo pri bratu Gottliebu, 1845 W. Cermak Rd. Vsak kdor gre z nami, naj se gotovo prijavi vsaj do 17. maja pri odbornikih društev JSKJ. — Dne 22. oktobra bodo skupna chicaška društva priredila v SNPJ dvorani na Lawndale veselico z bogatim programom, že sedaj ste vsi prijazno vabljeni. — Z bratskim pozdravom,

Barberton, O. — Naj mi bo dovoljeno potom Nove Dobe poročati širši javnosti o sijajno uspeli prireditvi v proslavo 150-letnice ustave Zedinjenih držav. Proslava je bila prirejena po podružnici št. 6 SŽZ pod vodstvom njene predsednice Mrs. A. J. Okolish. Ona je iz Wash-ingtona prejeto vabilo upoštevala in se potvudila za sestavo krasnega in obširnega programa- Povabljena so bila vsa tukajšnja pevska društva, da so-; delujejo s petjem, dramsko dru-[ štvo pa, da pokaže v slovenskih 1 narodnih nošah stari slovenski! ples. Vprizorjena je bila v an-j gleščini lepa igra iz življenja Georgea Washingtona- V tej igri je nastopilo nad 40 mladih fantov in deklet v zanimivih kolonialnih kostumih- Bilo je nekaj tako lepega kot naša slovenska naselbina še ni videla
Izlet v stan kraj
Skupni izleti v stari kraj so postali vsako-letna navada. Naš letošnji glavni skupni izlet se vrši 28. JUNIJA NA SLAVNEM BRZOPARNIKU NORMANDIE, ki nudi potniku 3. razreda vse najmodernejše naprave za udobno in hitro prekmorsko vožnjo: prostorne in zračne kabine, obsežen odprt in zaprt krov in druge razkošne prostore za razvedrilo ,in zabavo, kakor tudi izborno hrano, vsakovrstno zabavo itd. Važno za naše potnike je tudi to, da jc Slovenec (Ivan Vrhovšek) glavni upravnik (chief stewart) 3. raz. na tem parniku In tako se slovenski potnik lahko z njim po domače razgovori.
Poleg tega bo vsak naš potnik dobil na parniku dobro in zabavno družbo svojih rojakov in rojakinj, med katerimi ne bo manjkalo šaljivcev, pevcev, muzikantov in drugih zabavnikov, ki bodo pripomogli, da bo vožnja ena sama dolga zabava, kakor je to bilo na prejšnjih takih izletih.
S tem izletom je namenjen potovati prav do Ljubljane tudi spodaj imenovani Leo Zakrajšek, ki ima v vodenju takih izletov obilne izkušnje, in ki bc skrbel za udobno in brezskrbno potovanje svojih izletnikov, tako po morju kakor po železnici. Dalje bo v starem l kraju priredil več skupnih izletov pc j Sloveniji: na Bled, Bohinj, Kranjske goro, Logarsko dolilo itd., ter druge ' v glavne dele ostale Jugoslavije. Take ! se bo tudi tam našim izletnikom nudila najboljša prilika za zabavo in užitek.
Dalje bodo izletniki imeli skupne obe-; de na parniku, skupne vagone, sprejem v Ljubljani in Jugoslovanska vlada j< dovolila brezplačne vizume za udelež-nike skupnih izletov ter tudi polovične vožnjo po vseh jugoslov. železnicah.

V r n kraju pa se bodo izletnikom nridile nMe velik* verske, socialne in n-t rodne prireditve Izrabite vse te ugodne prilike ter s« pridružite izletu 28. junija na Normandie. ter v ta namen takoj pišite pt vsa nadaljna poiasnila na

Euclid, O. — člane in članice društva Napredek, št. 132 JSKJ, pozivam, da se polnoštevilno udeleže prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v petek 12. maja in se bo pričela ob 7:30 zvečer. Na tej seji bo za rešiti več važnih društvenih zadev. Pri tej criliki naj tudi omenim, da bodo naši mladi športniki priredili plesno veselico v soboto 17. ju-
iprej in se ne ve, kdaj bo spet. ] Dvorana je bila za tisti večer 1 dvakrat premajhna. Vsekakor < j bi bili mogli za silo dobiti pro- 1 štor še kaki trije, če bi bili pri- '• šli. S tem bi bili, če že drugega ne, pokazali svojo lojalnost na- : pram deželi, ki jim je dala mirno zavetje pred evropskimi viharji, belega kruha in lepe,
