K morski pehoti Protest amerifte vlade napram Japonski Washington.— Ameriški državni oddelek je dal v javnost nove dokaze o barbarskem postopanju Japoncev z ameriški- j mi vojnimi ujetniki. Pomožni državni tajnik Stettinus nazna-' nja, da je ameriška vlada zahtevala od japonske vlade, da naj takoj podvzame potrebne korake, da se z Amerikanci boljše postopa v ujetniških taborih. Ameriška vlada je poslala japonski vladi oster protest radi umorov, mučenja in stradanja ameriških vojaških in civilnih ujetnikov. V protestu ameriška vlada navaja dokaze, da se z ameriškimi vojnimi ujetniki slabo postopa, da nimajo dovolj hrane in zdravil, da se jih brutalno muči in pretepa. Dokazani so tudi slučaji, ko so oslabljene vojne ujetnike celo žive zakopali. Ta oster protest ameriške vlade je bil izdan 27. januarja in je bil izročen japonski vladi po švicarskem vladnem zastopniku. Zanesljivo je znano, da je v prvih mesecih ujetništva v taborišču 0'Donnell na Filipinih umrlo do 2,000 Amerikancev in najmanj 20,000 Filipincev. Dalje je dokazano, da je imelo jeseni 1943 najmanj polovica vojnih ujetnikov v taborišču Davao jako malo prilike ostati pri življenju. Dalje je dokazano, da je mnogo ujetnikov pomrlo v taborišču Cadanatuan, ker jim japonske oblasti niso hotele dati zdravil, ki jih je poslal Rdeči križ. PREHRANA IN DOLGO ŽIVLJENJE Brazilija spada k onim desetim državam sveta, kjer je dosti 100 in več letnih ljudi. Galdino Ramos je zato setavil statistiko, kako vpliva prehrana na dolgost življenja. Omenjeni znanstvenik je dognal, da je prehrana on-dotnih Indijancev, ki so več ko 100 let stari, še manj ko pičla, ker jedo vse življenje večinoma močnik "čibe," ki je narejen iz moke sadeža mandijoka, ki mu dajo samo vode. Tako se Indijanci vse življenje samo postijo, pa vendar dosežejo tako visoko starost in vse življenje tudi trdo delajo. Kar je dognal Ramos, se strinja s poročili škofa Brandno-ja, ki si jih je v letih 1785 do 1788 zapisoval v svoj dnevnik. Tudi ta pravi, da pičla hrana in trdo delo podaljša življenje, kar je opazoval pri Indijancih Brazilije, nasprotno pa še v ranih letih pomrjejo sloji, ki dobro in veliko jedo in pijo in malo delajo. To velja tudi za deželo po drugih delih sveta.

Dne 4. feb. sem prejela po Rdečem križu pismo od mojega očeta Jurija Mam, Gmajnica št. 28, pošta Komenda pri Kamniku. Pišejo mi: "Dne 26. sept., 1943. — Ljuba hčerka! Doma smo vsi živi in zdravi. Brata sta v poprejšnji državni službi. Prisrčno pozdravljam vse, posebno pa Tebe, Tvoj ljubeči oče Jurij Mam." Njihov naslov je sledeči: "George Marn, Gmainiza 28, Post Komenda, Kreis Stein, Ober Krain." Moj oče so bili krojaški mojster. Ne vem, ali še kaj šivajo ali ne, ker jim je že nekaj let pred to vojno pešal . vid. Te dni bodo stari 69 let. Moj starejši brat Ivan je bil pred to vojno pismonoša v Kamniku, mlajši brat France pa orožnik v Žalcu pri Celju. Torej sta oba zdaj zopet v službah. Nad vse sem vesela, da po treh letih spet vidim očetovo pisavo. Pismo je potovalo skozi Genevo v Švici, čast in priznanje Rdečemu križu, ki zasluži v polni meri našo pomoč. — Mrs. John Berus.

ČEHI SKRBE ZA MARIJINE ROMARSKE CERKVE Nedavno so se pričela dela za temeljito popravilo ene najbolj znanih božjepotnih cerkva na češkem, to je cerkve Device Marije v Stari Boleslavi. Ta cerkev hrani čudodelno podobo starobo-leslavske Matere božje. Sedaj bodo popolnoma prenovili cerkvena tla, ki so služila v tej cerkvi že 214 let. Ko so odstranjevali stari tlak v cerkvi, so naleteli na več zanimivosti v podzemlju te cerkve. Po 150 letih so ponovno odprli tri velike okostnice, v katerih leže kosti 44 duhovnikov, plemičev in drugih znamenitejših meščanov. Večina krst je še dobro ohranjenih in bodo nudile mnogo snovi za zgo_ dovinska raziskavanja. Blizu presbiterija so odkrili novo, četrto okostnico, pod oltarjem čer-ninske kapele ko so nagli žaro, v katero je položeno srce grofa Humberta Černina Hudovica, ki je bil namestnik nemikega cesarja za češko. gov zastopnik, sta se pred dvema tednoma z namenom, da dosežeta sporazum in da se konča bratomorna vojna v Jugoslaviji. Tako se poroča iz zanesljivih virov. Sestanek se je vršil nekje na italijanskem ozemlju. Partizani so zahtevali na tem sestanku, da se prizna vlada maršala Tita in da se razpusti jugoslovanska vlada, ki se nahaja v Kairu. -o- Listnica uredništva Popravek Med društvenimi naznanili zadnjega tedna je bilo poroča-no o smrti Marije Sever, članice društva sv.

KOMPONISTOVA KRITIKA Skladatelj Rossini je rad slišal, če je kdo pel njegove skladbe, zelo nejevoljen pa je bil, če jih je kdo slabo pel. Pri neki kneginji v Florenci se je zbrala večja družba umetnikov in dile-tantov. Peli so in igrali. Med drugimi je pela tudi vojvodinja V. neko Rossinijevo arijo.

Bruno je dobro napredoval kot pilot, zato je bil imenovan poročnikom; žal pa, da je bil lanskega marca nevarno ranjen pri svojem napadu na nemško mesto Essen, izgubil je namreč obe roke. Za tega junaka se je zavzela [Poljska narodna zveza ter nabrala njemu ▼ pomoč $12,254. dodala nekaj svojih okraskov. Ko je končala, so ji vsi ploskali. Bila je silno radovedna, kaj bo rekel Rossini. Obrnila se je proti družbi, v kateri je bil on. Ko j0 je skladatelj zagledal, ji je rekel: "Odlično ste peli. čigava pa je ta arija?" -o- ZAVEZNIŠKI KONVOJ/ London.—V neko pristanišče Severne Afrike je te dni srečno priplulo več tovornih ladij z živežem in municijo za vojake, blago je bilo poslano iz Anglije. To pošiljatev, ki je bila največja svoje vrste, je spremljalo 148 konvoj skih parnikov ali ladij, ki so plule v razdalji 70 štirjaških milj v svrho varnosti pred kakim sovražnim napadom. Morebitna sklenitev premirja Japonske Washington — V diplomatskih krogih so se pojavile najbolj zanimive diplomatske možnosti, namreč, da bo morda Rusija napotila Japonsko iz vojne s. tem, da jo bo resno posvarila, naj čim prej mogoče sklene premirje z Zed. državami in Anglijo in to predno bo Nemčija premagana, Te nepotrjene govorice trdijo, da Japonska samo radi tega ni vkorakala v Sibirijo, ker želi imeti odprto važno strugo, po kateri se bo lahko približala Londonu in Washingtonu za premirje. Ameriški državni oddelek ne pravi drugega na te govorice, kot da ni nobenega govora o kakem premirju z Japonsko, dokler se Japonska brezpogojno ne vda zaveznikom. Šele potem, kadar bodo zavezniške čete okupirale Japonsko, bo možen razgovor o miru. Fakt pa je, da so Zadnji uspehi zaveznikov na Pacifiku močno vznemirili Japonce in da bi morda prav to izrabila Moskva ter posvarila Tokio, naj se umakne iz vojne, ko nima nobenega izgleda za zmago. "TRNJ EV A KRONA" Prvo naznanje! Slovenska javnost in tu rojena mladina bo imela zopet priliko prisosto-vati eni najbolj časom primerni in ganljivi novi igri, katera se bo izvajala na odru Slovenskega narodnega doma na St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, O., dne 26. marca na Tiho nedeljo popoldne in zvečer. Ime igre je "Trnjeva krona." Citatelji se bodo še spominjali opisa dejanj te igre, kar bo tudi še opisano pred časom te igre. Igro bo proizvajala takozva-na "Igralska družina Krka," iz fare sv.

Cassag-nolli je prišel po dolgoletnih izkušnjah do prepričanja, da zdravljenje s smehom zelo ugodno vpliva ne sanjo na celo vrsto duševnih, temveč tudi na telesne bolezni. že dolgo je tega, ko so začeli poskuse zdravljenja raznih živčnih bolezni, duševne potrtosti in podobnega s smehom.

TRI STEKLENICE RUMA BO LAHKO DOBIL VSAK V DRŽAVI OHIO Columbus, O. — Državni direktor Don Fisher naznanja, da bo tekom sedanje periode, ki se konča 1. marca, vsaka registrirana oseba lahko dobila tri steklenice ruma. To je poleg steklenice žganja in steklenice ruma, kar dobi zd^j vsaka oseba. Odredba je v veljavo od 14. februarja. S tem se bodo ljudje lahko založili z rumom, predno stopi v veljavo nov federalni davek, ki čaka na predsednikov podpis. Tudi gostilničarji bodo lahko dobili dodatno množino ruma in sicer 10% več kot je njih navadna kvota. Tisti, ki so že dobili predpisano kvoto žganja in ruma za sedanjo periodo, gredo lahko po te tri dodatne steklenice v državne prodajalne. Prodajalne sicer trenutno nimajo dovolj ruma za ta dodatni bonus, toda v nekaj dneh ga bodo dobile od države. Fisher pravi, da so ljudje od praznikov sem tako malo kupovali rum, da se je zaloga naku- pičila. -o- ŽIVLJENJSKA DRAGINJA NA VIŠKU Washington.—Dne 25. januarja je predsednik CIO, Philip Murray pojasnjeval delavskemu pododseku senatne zborni« ce, da so se življenjske potrebščine od 1. januarja, 1941 do sedaj za 50% podražile.

MINUTES Annual meeting of the Supreme Board of the Grand Carniolian Slovenian Catholic Union (K. S. K. J.) held January 20 to 25, 1944 ih the Home Office Joliet, Illinois In accordance with the Union's By-Laws, Article 13-b, the entire Supreme Board was summoned to the annual meeting in the following order: On January 20, the auditing committee undertook the inspection of the Union's books and .accounts including the Editor-Manager's records, and the Director of Athletics; on January 22, the Finance Committee convened, and on January 24, the entire Supreme Board met. FIRST SESSION—JANUARY 24 Supreme President, Brother John Germ, called the meeting to order at 9:00 A. M. Rev. M. J. Butala, Supreme Spiritual Director, recited the Lord's Prayer for successful deliberations. At this time, Father Butala announced the death of Brother Joseph Rozich, former secretary of St. Francis de Salles Society No. 29, Joliet, 111. A prayer is recited for the repose of the soul of Brother Rozich. Brother Louis Zeleznikar was selected to write t'he minutes of the meeting. Brother Joseph Zalar, Supreme Secretary, called the roll which revealed that the following Supreme Officers were absent: Brother Frank Opeka, Honorary President; Brother George Pavlakovich, Sixth Vice President; Brother George J.

Gospodarich, Member of the Finance Committee; Brother John Bevec, and Brother Luka Matanich, Members of the Board of Jurors; Brother Joseph Zorc, Director of Athletics, and Sister Jean M.

Brother George Pavlakovich's absence is due to illness; Brother John Bevec, is serving in the armed forces overseas; Brother Luka Matanich is unable to attend because of his employment; the remaining absentee officers promised to attend the afternoon session. The assembly excusad the aforementiond. Brother Supreme President calls for the report of the Auditing Committee. In the absence of Brother Brince, President of the Auditing Committee, Brother Frank Lokar, Secretary of the Committee reports that a thorough examination of ^thc records of the Union, as well as*.the records of the JgcUtor-ftfar.-ager of Glasilo and Director of Athletics, revealed that every thing was in perfect and commendable order. Brother Lokar expresses 'his gratitude for the prompt and conscientious co-op eration to the fellow-members of the Auditing Committee. In addition, Brother Lokar extends his thanks to the Supreme Sec retary, the Assistant Supreme Secretary, the Supreme Treasurer, and the personnel of the office for their co-opration and assistance. "It is a pleasure," state3 Brother Lokar, "to attend the meetings of the Supreme Committee, because the sincerity and spirit of fraternalism prevail among us, and our aim is always to consider the welfare of our Union and its members. Sc long as these qualities prevail we may be certain, our Union will be assured continuous success." Sister Mary Polutnik, Brother John Pezdirtz, and Siste; Mary Hochevar, agree unanimously with the report of th* Secretary of the Committee. Moved and seconded that the report be approved. Una nimously accepted. Then follows: REPORT OF THE SUPREME PRESIDENT Reverend Father, and Members of the Supreme Board oi the KSKJ accept my most sincere regards! In accordance with the by-laws of our Union we have convened for our annual assembly, to present, each of us, a re port of our accomplishments for the welfare of our Union and to plan for the new year, which incidentally is the Golden Jubilee of our Union; on April 2, fifty years will have elapsed since, here in Joliet, the first Slovenian fraternal Un ion—the KSKJ—was organized in the United States. A year ago, at our annual meeting, we agreed to launch a "Victory Campaign," for members of the Juvenile Department. The official opening of the campaign occurred on Apri. 1, 1943, under the direction of the Supreme Board, specifically directed bv the Supreme Secretary, Supreme President, and all Supreme Vice Presidents. Local societies were subdivided into seven groups or armies. The §upreme President and Supreme Vice Presidents were designated as the Generals, each of one army. A keen interest was exhibited among the armies. Originally the campaign was slow in gaining impetus, however as the campaign drew to a close, the interest became very keen - the result was that our local societies thru the self-sacrifice of local officers, had written $841,000 of new insurance for 1,208 members of the Juvenile Department. We are extremely pleased with the result and I do hereby for myself and in behalf of the entire Supreme Committee extend sincere thanks to the 142 local societies and their active officers who participated and accomplished such marvelous results. I regret to report that 37 local societies had not secured even one new member during this period, for the Juvenile Depart, ment God grant, that t'he members, particularly the officers of these 37 societies, will realize their responsibilities to the society and the Union, at least now during the year 1944 when our Union will celebrate its 50th Anniversary of fraternaliam amon2 the Slovene Catholic nation in the United States. Eight local societies had attained t'he quota of insurance assigned for the campaign, and several of these had written «Joanne* am vmm •> ZELEZNIKAR5, KORENCHANS SLATE CLEAN, OTHERS EDGE IN STEVE LOOP Chicago, 111. — Zeleznikar elity Electrics, and the Jerin Fuels and the Korenchan Grocers were good for three in a row wins each, the former tripping the Kosmac'h Boosters and the latter setting back the Darovic Lawyers.

During the months of November and December of 1943, State Examiners made a thorough checkup of the Union's business for the past four years. According to the Supreme Secretary's word, they have been favorably impressed with the business methods and investments of our organization. They complimented the system of our office, for which credit is due to the Supreme Secretary, Assistant Supreme Secretary, Supreme Treasurer and the office force. AH methods and management were favorable except the payment of assessment for 70 year members by the Union. You are no doubt aware of the fact, that at the time of our last General Convention, this fund had a deficit in excess' of $45,000 which at the close of this year has exceeded $62,000. The State Examiners recommended that the Supreme Board solve t'his problem in some manner or means, for the Union will not be allowed to function under these circumstances since the number of 70 year old members is rapidly increasing. At the present time there are more than 800 members in this group, and we must expect that the pumbpr will increase each year. Brother Supreme Secretary will explain the situation more fully. My recommendation is to arrange this matter to the satisfaction of the State Insurance Department. You are all asked to return t'his evening at 7:00 o'clock for a special session, to discuss and solve in the best way possible this vital problem. The error had originally been made in 1930 at the Convention in Waukegan, 111. The original plan included the payment, by our Union, of all aessments, i. e. mortuary, disability, operation, sick benefit as well as local society's assessments. The Supreme Secretary at that time recommended that only mortuary assessments be paid by the KSKJ for 70 year old members; regretably, this recommendation was ignored hence, the deficit today. Since the year 1931 and including 1942 all assessments were paid to members of this class. The General Convention of 1942 decided that 70 year old members shall pay their own sick benefit assessments, this resolution became effective January 1943, but in spite of this the deficit increased nearly $9,000. We may expect that this year and next the amount will increase for the number of members, as aforementioned, is increasing yearly. Therefore, this problem must be solved. Please give it your careful consideration so that we may successfully conclude the problem when we return this evening. Fiftieth Anniversary On April 2, 1944, fifty years will have elapsed since the mere handful of Slovenian pioneers under the prudent guidance of Reverend Sustarsic, former pastor of the Slovenian parish in Joliet» had organized our fraternal union and named it the KSKJ or t'he Grand Carniolian Slovenian Catholic Union. For 50 years our Union has functioned among the Slovenian and Jugoslav nation in the U.S.A. under this motto "All for Faith, Home and Country! All for one, and one for all!" It is proper that we, the Supreme Officers, entrusted with the guidance of our Union, pave the way for a suitable celebration. I should like to suggest perhaps a very special program to take place during the July session of the Supreme Board in order that the entire executive group may participate at one time. Jubilee Campaign In correlation with the observance of the 50th Anniversary I suggest that we plan a new campaign for both departments. An attractive monetary compensation or an excursion trip to Joliet on the occasion of the celebration for all who have reached a specific quota of new members or additional insurance, may be an adequate inducement. Let all these winners be the guests of the Supreme Board at the semi-annual meeting next July. Members in the Armed Forces In January 1943, when we gathered for our annual meeting approximately 1,800 members were serving in the Armed forces of our country. Many of us had hoped that in the course of the year this bloody strife would have come to an end and that our fine young members would be returning to their loved ones. Needless to say, the war has not ended but 09 the contrary is being waged more extensively. Countless numbers of American troops are embarking for all fronts all over the globe and among them are hundreds of young men and Indies who are members of the KSKJ; in fact, 3,410 mem- Ikrtr country Many i My report will be quite brief and concern the recent Vic* £7h£e"t ^^ome^raiT^^^l over the battle areas tory Campaign.

It is dif-ideal of democracy and freedom. May God grant t'hat the ficult, I admit to secure new members, however, if either one end will soon be here!

WE REGRET! Frances Jancer*s "War Kitchen*' was received too late is this week's for all. JRC,SS and SANC I also recommend to all local societies to support the JRC,SS, (JPO,SS) to solicit funds, and forward them to the treasurer of this organization. As quickly as possible, perhaps even before the war has ended, financial assistance will be rushed to the old country and the committee of this organization is entrusted with the responsibility to see that the funds are properly distributed at the most opportune time and to those in greatest need.. I further recommend, that the G. C. S. C. Union co-operate with SANS, as it has in the past, for it is far better to have an organization than to be without. Honorable Mention! Let as not allow this unique—and for the KSKJ significant fact, to .pass unnoticed; the fact that our Union has reached its high standard of progress is due to a vast degree to the sincerity and diligence of our Supreme Secretary, Brother Zalar wjio has for the past 35 years, continuously conducted the secretarial work of our Union. On the eve of his 36th year of service as Supreme Secretary we see tiim still hale ^nd hearty the same zealous interest in the KSKJ. Congratulations, Brother Zalar, and the deepest gratitude of myself, the entire Supreme Board and membership of the Union, for all your efforts and achievements during the past 35 years... God grant you health and strength, to continue in the same capacity for many years. God bless you! Business of Our Union—Acknowledgement The business of our Union is conducted most efficiently. A splendid spirit of co-operation and understanding is evident among all the officers of the Supreme Board, for which I am deeply grateful. This spirit is conducive to the growth and progress of the KSKJ. I extend my thanks and appreciation also to the officers of the local societies for their co-operation and sacrifices. Let us abide by the proverb that in unity there is strength; and while we are compatible with each other, so long we will be strong, and our local societies will grow and prosper. 1 Brothers and Sisters! This concludes my report and my recommendations for this session. I hope we will work harmoniously with vigilance and forethought, and be brief in any debates which may arise. If we follow these words of advice our session will be fruitful. A hearty welcome to all! JOHN GERM, Supreme President. Brotl^er .John Decman moves, Brother Leksan seconds that the report of the Supreme President be approved- Accepted. REPORT OF THE FIRST VICE PRESIDENT Brother John Zefran, first vice president, remarks that the past campaign had been very enthusiastic and he is happy that it had resulted in such a fine increase. He stated that he had attended several social events of the various lodges during the pastysix months and strongly recommended the KSKJ. He reports that this month he attended the annual meeting of St. John the Evangelist Society No. 65, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to install the newly elected officers and found that the society works tiarmoniously and actively for which acknowledgement is made. As General of the Second Army during the Victory Cam-pagin, he is pleased that under his sponsorship the societies had secured new insurance totalling $157,000. Brother Cerkovnik moves, Brother Slana seconds the motion that Brother Zefran's report be approved. Accepted. REPORT OF THE SECOND VICE PRESIDENT Brother President, Reverend Spiritual Director, Brothers and Sisters of the Supreme Board! My report for the past year will be rather brief; minor events I did not consider important enough to include in my report at this time. Instructions and recommendations as well as miscellaneous transactions entrusted to me by the Home Office were willingly, and to the best of my meagre ability, faithfully and promptly solved; likewise, I have always been ready with any assistance to the officers of the local societies who sought my aid. I participated, whenever special meetings were called in regard to war relief and assistance to the needy in the old country, if I considered it beneficial to the interest of the K. S. K. J. In December, I was notified by the Home Office that in a nearby community an interest was exhibited by a certain individual in the organization of a new society. I immediately communicated with the party and on December 19, made a personal visit to discuss and more fully instruct and plan in this regard. Unfortunately the "flu" epidemic interfered and incapacitated many; the Christmas holidays also retarded the progress, and our efforts have not yet materialized. However, I shall make every effort to assist in the possible organization of a new society in this community. In regard to the past Victory Campaign, I trust, I have at least partially fulfilled my obligation. At every opportunity I visited nearby local communities and attended their meetings; others, I contacted by letters or by means of the Glasilo. It is my solemn duty and an honor to have this opportunity to thank the members of the 3td Army and particularly Sisters Mary Kosmerl and Catherine Rogina, who have surpassed their quota. My sincere thanks to all who have cooperated and made the advance of the Third Army so successful that one mere item ($500.00) kept us from reaching our goal. Your work for the KSKJ is commendable, and I am proud to have had the opportunity to head the 3rd Army. Fraternally submitted, MATH fAVLAKOVICH, Second Vice President. Brother 81ana moves and" Brother Lokar seconds the motion that the report be approved. Accepted. REPORT OF THE THIRD VICE PRESIDENT Honorable Brother President, Reverend Spiritual Director, and^11 members of the Supreme Board: pects will not line up at your door, but on the contrary we must call on them to sell what we are convinced is a good type of insurance. It is not my aim to criticize, however, I will stress the fact that the success of the recent campaign is a reflection of the diligence and ambition of t'he officers of the local societies. In conclusion, I wish to thank all tfie captains of my army; some had accomplished very little and I hope that success in the next campaign will be a compensation for our present loss. With fraternal regards to all, JOSEPH LEKSAN, Third Vice President. ' Moved and seconded by Brother Math Pavlakovich and Sister Mary Polutnik, respectively, that the report be accepted. Carried. REPORT OF THE FOURTH VICE PRESIDENT ' Reverend Spiritual Director, Father Butala, Honorable Brother President and Brothers and Sisters of the Supreme Board! Accept my hearty and fraternal greetings! We have gathered at the annual meeting of the Supreme Board to make a report of our work for the past year of 1943. I have endeavored to be prompt in all my correspondence with the Home Office. We 'have launched and concluded a campaign of victory for the KSKJ and a fine number of new members in both the Juvenile and Adult departments have been admitted. But I am certain, that if more local societies were vitally interested in the progress of our -Union, greater success could have been attained. I trust that in this Jubilee year of the KSKJ — a most memorable event in our history—will be a year of just recompense for all opportunities which we had failed to grasp in t'he past year. In conclusion, Brothers and Sisters of the Supreme Board, I extend my good wishes to all, and trust that our gathering will be beneficial to the entire membership of the KSKJ. MICHAEL CERKOVNIK, Fourth Vice President. Sister Mary Polutnik moves, Brother Shukle seconds the motion that the report be accepted. Approved. REPORT OF THE FIFTH VICE PRESIDENT Sister Jo'hanna Mohar, remarks that she has not prepared a written report for the past six months. She stated that she had at every opportunity encouraged and advocated the campaign for the juvenile department, and is happy to see that the Union has reaped a just reward for the exertion of the participants. She added that her local society had enrolled 29 new members during the Victory Campaign. Sister Mary Hochevar moves, Sister Mary Polutnik seconds the motion that the report be accepted. Approved. REPORT OF THE SIXTH VICE PRESIDENT Due to the illness of Brother George Pavlakovich, Brother Supreme Secretary reads the report which follows: Honorable Brother President, Reverend Spiritual Director, and members of the Supreme Board of t'he KSKJ: I regret that I am physically unable to be among you at the annual meeting of the Supreme Board; the reason for my absence is a siege of influenza that I contracted on Dec. 24th last year and which has left me in a weakened condition. The following report covers my activities for the past months: At the opening of the "V" campaign the honor of General of the 7th Army was bestowed upon me. Originally, I thought that all -the societies in my group were small and would make a poor showing, which on the contrary, proved to be quite the opposite. Some societies responded quite well. I had written articles for "Glasilo" urging, particularly the smaller societies, to seek new members. With some societies, I 'had corresponded and urged them to work for the success of the 7th Army. Society No. 206 in So. Chicago was the first to reach the quota. Society No 40 in East Helena, Montana, followed in second place I gratefully acknowledge the effort of the officers and members of. Society No. 206, who not only reached but surpassed their assigned quota. Likewise, I wish to thank Brother Joseph M. Sasek, Secretary, and all the members of~Society No. 45 for their successful participation. I also express my gratitude to the other societies that comprised my army and who participated in the recent campaign of those societies that had remained dormant now, I kindly request co-operation in the new campaign to be conducted in the Jubilee year of our Union; there will be an opportunity to make up for lost time in the campaign conducted from March 1st through June 30th, 1944. Iir conclusion, I send my sincere regards with the hope for success. I hope, too, that this year will bring to a close World War II and that all our young men will return home healthy and successful. To our Union, t'he celebrant of its Golden Jubilee, I wish success and a membership of 50,000. GEORGE PAVLAKOVICH, Sixth Vice President. Brother Rudman moves, Brother Shukle seconds the motion that the report be accepted. Approved. (To be continued) SNOW SLOWS DOWN°JOLIET BOWLERETS Joliet, HI. — The big snow fall that swept Joliet last Thursday kept many of t'he bowlers from the KSKJ Girls Activity Club indoors. Only four members showed up. The weather must have had a bad effect upon them, too, , because their marks were way below par. Betty McCarthy was high marker of the night with a 387 series. It took Theresa Ambrose two games to get started. She hit a nice 151 her final game. Dolores Chanoski, whose scores usually top the list, was way down last week with a 292 series. Claire Carpenter also ran into tough luck and ended up just one pin behind Dolores with a series of Here's hoping the weather improves so that the full squad of bowlers will come back into the game and roll off some good scores again.
