Federalni justični tajnik Fran-cis Biddle je naznanil postopanje za odvzetje ameriškega državljanstva Isidoru Fernandezu v San Juanu, Portoriko, ker je član Francove falangistične stranke. Biddle je dejal, da bo slično postopanje odrejeno proti drugim članom te stranke, ki žive na ameriških otokih in po-seščinah. Akcija justičnega departmen-ta bo nedvomno dobila odmev v latinskih republikah, kjer falan-gisti širijo Francove fašistične doktrine. To delajo pod geslom vsešpanizma, čigar cilj je združitev vseh latinskih republik na podlagi španske kulture, ekonomskih interesov in politične sile. Biddle je dejal, da se španski fašizem ne razlikuje od nacizma v Nemčiji in fašizma v Italiji. Franco kot španski diktator narekuje tudi smernice falangistič-ni stranki, katere načelnik je.

Glavni kritik je bil v teku debate o vojni in politični situaciji Aneurin Bevan, vodja levega krila delavske stranke. On je hotel vedeti, kaj se skriva v ozadju zavezniške strategije na italijanski fronti. "Pripovedujejo nam, da napadamo mehki trebuh osišča in da bo prišel čas, ko se bomo spravili na hrbtenico," je dejal Bevan. "Največja kriza, ki je pretila nemški sili, je bila zaključena z udarci zaveznikom. Hitler, če se bodo operacije vršile v bodočnosti kot so se doslej, bo lahko poslal vojaške divizije iz Italije v Rusijo." Eden je odgovoril, da ne more zagovarjati sedanje strategije, ne da bi razkril bodoče strategije.

Glede rekonstrukcije Francije je dejal, da mora priti od znotraj, kar ni samo zaželjivo, temveč tudi potrebno. Poslanec Harold Nicholson je priporočal poglobitev kooperacije med Veliko Britanijo in odborom za osvoboditev Francije, kateremu načeluje general Charles de Gaulle. Dejal je, da ne more razumeti, zakaj britaka vlada, ki j« osvojila politiko podpiranja odbora, izvaja akcije v nasprotju s to politiko. Švedski Rdeči krii za izmenjavo ujetnikov Stockholm, Švedska, 22. febr. —Princ Csrl, načelnik švedskega Rdečega križa, je dejal, da je U apeliral na Veliko Britanijo, Ameriko in Nemčijo za izmenjavo vojnih ujetnikov v večjem obsegu.

Kongres je izjavil, da je načrt ljudstva za bodočo Jugoslavijo sledeči; ~ "Vzpostavljenje in povečanje Jugoslavije z vsemi ozemlji, kjer žive Srbi, Hrvati in Slovenci.

Jugoslavija bo federalna država s postuvno, parlamentarno in dedno monarhijo, z dinastijo Ka-rudžodževlčev in s Petrom II. kot vladarjem. Tu kongres smatra, do jo trdna bodočnost Jugoslavije možna sumo z ustanovitvijo demokratično organizirane srbske federalne države. Isto velja za Slovence ln Hrvate.

Med temi žrtvami so bili tudi naši člani SNPJ — John Kropivšek, - predsednik društva 81, Frank Starcevich, Fred Raz-boršek, Ignac Marinčič in John Meden (slednji član društva 112). Med žrtvami so bili tudi drugi rojaki in Jugoslovani, ki so spadali k drugim podpornim organizacijam. Te žrtve-ne bodo pozabljene med namiin blag jim spomin! K. Erznoznik, 81. Civilna fronta—najnevarnejša v Pred kratkim smo v Prosveti primerjali število smrtnih nesreč in telesnih nezgod v ameriških industrijah in rudnikih s številom ubitih in ranjenih ameriških vojakov ln pomorščakov ns bojiščih, odkar je Amerika v tej vojni. Razlika je bila naravnost kolosal-na. Dočim je bilo do takrat okrog 140,000 mož ubitih, ranjenih in pogrešanih ns bojni fronti, je bilo v istem času v ameriških tovarnah, rudnikih, na železnicah itd. ubitih, trajno pohabljenih in lahko pobitih čez štiri milijone delavcev in delavk. To razliko potrjuje v malem obsegu tudi naša statistika o stanju članstva SNPJ v letu 1943. Naša jednota jc do konca leta 1943 izgubila 29 članov v vojni; 27 članov je mrtvih, dva sta pa pogrešana, torej se še ne ve ali sta še živa ali mrtva. Na drugi strani je pa bilo doma v civilnem življenju samo v enem letu, lo je lani, ubitih 50 članov. Največje bilo ubitih seveda pri delu v tovarnah, rovih Itd. ~ Na vseh koncih Je torej dokazano, da je civilna ali domača fronta še vedno veliko nevarnejša življenju In zdravju Američana, kakor Je bojna fronta. Neverjetno se to zdi, ampak .dandanes je to fakt. To razmerje je seveda relativno. Ne vemo, koliko ameriškega moštva je aktualno udeleženega v vojskovanju do tega dne, vemo pa, da jc danes v ameriških industrijah uposlenih.59 db'60 milijonov ljudi obojega spola. Odstotek bojevnikov na fronti je zelo nizek napram onemu na domači fronti; to je tudi velikanska razlika. In pomislimo, s kakšno naglico se danes proizvaja bojna oprema! Medtem pa se situacija vojne stalno izpremlnja. Ameriške žrtve se množe. Prihodnje leto v tem času bodo vsekakor drugačne Številke. Sreča Jc, ds do dsnes še ni bilo nobene večje epidemije. Na-vadno se pojavi med vsako vojno. Zadnja vojna je bila zaključena med špansko influenco, katera Jc samo v Ameriki pokosila milijone ljudi. Upajmo, da med sedanjo vojno ne bo podobne nesreče. Industrijska civilizacija, ki je v Ameriki najbolj razvita, je pri-nenla nove bolezni, kakršnih v agrarni ali poljedelski civlft^aciji niso poznali. Med temi Je srčna hiba na prvem mestu. Američani so najbolj podvrženi tej bolezni—in članstvo SNPJ tudi umira v največjem številu za to boleznijo. Umrljivost članoV naše jednote je bila v letu 1943 najvišja, kar SNPJ obstoji in srčna hiba -jc na prvem mestu.____ Zdravniki pravijo, da srčna hiba prihaja od stalnega zastruplje-vanja srčnega organizma s kemikalijami, ki jih ljudje vdihavajo lz okuženega ozračja. Zrak v industrijskih mestih in daleč naokoli jc neprestano nasičen na primer z ogljikovim dvokisom, ki puhti i z bencinskih (gasollnskih) motorjev. Avtomobil, ki je le v splošni rabi v mestih in nu deželi, je veliko pomogel k razširjanju in utrjevanju srčne hibe. Močan organizem srca nekako prenese to nadlogo, t«*ia slabejši ncasoma podleže. Efektivnega zdravila zoper to kugo do danes še nI. Edino efektivno zdravilo bi bilo, da se človek izloči iz ameriške civilizacijo ln odide kam v samoto v primitivno življenje, tega pa ne bo storil nihče—razen ce je primoran. Neg lede na tu. kako visoka je cena, ki jo človeštvo plačuje za tehnološki napredek—nazaj ne pojde.

Lahko se pa poroča kot novica, da ta in ta kandidara za to in to mesto in to brez vsake agitacije. To je sklep glavnega odbora. Novice društva 606 Reading, Pa. — Tukaj je nedavno umrl John Stublar, član društva 606 SNPJ, star 57 let in rojen v Cerkviščih pri Podzemlju v Beli Krajini. Tukaj zapušča žalujočo ženo, dva sinova, oba pri vojakih in se nista mog la udeležiti pogreba, kakor tudi več sorodnikov. Na vojaškem dopustu se je nahajal Henry Papich, sin našega večletnega predsednika Antona Papicha. Ko se je vrnil k vojakom, je moral iti v vojaško bolnišnico, kjer se še nahaja. Želim mu skorajšnjega okrevanja. Spodaj podpisanemu pa je odšel 24. jan. peti sin k vojakom. Dva sta v armadi, dva v mor narici, eden pa pri marinih. Štir je so Člani našega društva in jpdnote.

V spomin prijatelju Foreel City. Pa. — Dne 29. jan. je tukaj umrl Anton Dra-sler st. in k zadnjemu počitku smo ga spremili 2. febr.' ob veliki udeležbi društvenikov in prijateljev. Pokopan je bil civilno na društvenem pokopolišču v Uniondalu. Pokojni je bil rojen v Borovnici pri Vrhniki 17. febr. leta 1878, od koder se je leta 1895 podal za boljšim življenjem v Brazilijo. Domov se je vrnil čez pet let, leta 1902 pa se je odločil, da gre zopet v tujino — v Ameriko. Prišel je v Forest City 30. maja omenjenega leta in takoj pričel s trdim delom v premogorovu kajti drugega dela takrat ni bilo tukaj in ga tudi še danes ni. Leta 1904 se je poročil z Johano Kiren in delal v rovu do leta 1927. Radi rahlega zdravlja je opustil premogarsko delo in potem opravljal lažja domača dela. Ob njegovem grobu, katerega so člani in prijatelji obsuli s cvetjem, mu je v zadnji poidrav spregovoril Anton Pantar, predsednik društva 124 SNPJ, čijega član je bil pokojnik nad 30 let. Bratu Pantarju v imenu članstva hvala za njegove poslovilne besede. Pokojni Tony je bil mirnega značaja, zvest in navdušen dru-štvenik. Aktiven je bil v druš-venem in socialističnem gibanju, kajti član tukajšnega kluba je bil od začetka njegove ustanovitve do konca. Več let je bil zastopnik Proletarca, sedaj pa vrši to delo njegov sin Tony. Prvič sem ga videl na seji, ko sem pristopi^ v društvo 124 SNPJ leta M4. Stisnila Sva si roke v bratski in prijateljski pozdrav in od takrat sva bila vedno dobra prijatelja. Bil je skoraj ves čas društveni odbornik, zadnje leto v gospodarskem odboru. Na sejah se ni nikdar udeleževal nepotrebnih debat, ali kadar je videl ,da gre v drobro-bit delavstva in delavskih ustanov, tedaj se je pa počasi dvignil s svojega sedeža in pričel govoriti počasi in spoštljivo. Vsi smo ga radi poslušali. Njegov govor sem zadnjič slišal na društveni seji lanskega oktobra, ko je poudarjal potrebo po ustanovitvi mladinskega krožka. Nikoli ni pozabil delavskega časopisja in tiska, na primer Ameriškega družinskega koledarja, Majskega glasa, Prosvetne matice itd. Bil je zelo navdušen in ponosen na društveno pokopališče, na katerem sedaj počiva. • Le malo očetov in mater je vzgojilo svoje otroke v tako naprednem delavskem duhu kot jih je pokojni Tony in njegova zvesta žena Johana. Kadarkoli in kjerkoli je bila kaka delavska priredba, je bil pokojni To-ny gotovo navzoč in tudi ni pozabil s sabo pripeljati svoje žene. Vedno se je vsedel poleg nje in vedno sta odšla skupaj domov in živela v najlepšem zakonskem sporazumu. Pokojni Tony je bil tudi navdušen športnik, kot so tudi vsi njegovi sinovi. Bil je strasten lovec in tudi ribolovec. Svojo lovsko kabino je imel v gozdu v okraju Pike kakih 30 milj od tukaj. kier ie na tisoče srn.

R0jen je bil 22. maja 1907 v Lirci na Primorskem in ob smrti je bil član društva 14 SNPJ. Pokopan je bil 2. febr. v Waukeganu, 111, Najlepša hvala članom dru^ štva 14 za udeležbo pri pogrebu in za krasni venec, ki so ga po. ložili na krsto mojerrtu pokojnemu bratu v zadnji pozdrav. Hvala tudi vsem o^alim za vence in za udeležbo pri pogrebu. Hvala tudi vsem, ki ste pomagali moji hčerki, ki se je udeležila pogreba — jaz se nisem mogla radi bolezni. Pokojni brat zapušča v Ameriki poleg mene, žalujoče sestre, dva bratranca in dve sestrični, v starem kraju pa sestro. Dne 6. jan. nas je'prišel obiskat, 13. jan. ge je poslovil od nas v nadi, da se še vidimo. Dne 17. jan. je kel na delo v kamnolom v Elmhurstu, kjer je delal zadnja štiri leta in se pri delu težko ponesrečil. Dan pred smrtjo mi je še pisal, toda sem pismo prejela, ko je bil že pokopan. V ameriški armadi je bil od 2. sept. 1942 do 18. febr. 1943, toda je bil odpuščen radi starosti. Miren ti počitek, dragi brat! Polona Marinae, 66. Naše gibanje ln kartna zabava Mllwaukee. — Radi velike zaposlenosti v industrijah za vojne potrebe, kjer delamo večinoma vsi tukajšnji rojaki, so se ustavile vse naše aktivnosti na društvenem polju. Priredbe z igrami in plesi so le še stvar preteklosti. Tudi seje društev so tako slabo obiskane, da se je bati, da vse skupaj preneha. Tega zastoja je večinoma kriva vojna, ker nam je pobrala najbolj nadarjeno mladino — tiste moči, na katere smo mi stari polagali že dolgo naše društvene aktivnosti. Mnogo smo pa tudi krivi sami radi naše prehitre onemoglosti in brezbrižnosti. Da si društva zasigurajo dohodke, ki so potrebni za njih vzdrževanje in nadaljnji obstoj, so pričela nakladati izredni ases-ment za svoje blagajne, kar pa slabo vpliva na moralo članstva. In to se opaža tudi pri organizacijah drugih narodnosti. Toda ako hočemo ohraniti to, kar imamo,- se moramo pač privaditi, da posežemo v žep in nadomestimo dohodke, ki so nam jih prej do-našale priredbe. Večjo aktivnost pa opažamo na | političnem polju, in to posebno sedaj, ko se pri nas bližajo županske volitve. Vse politične stranke so prijavile svoje kandidate za županski stolec z obljubami, da žele Izboljšati mestno upravo, in to brez vsakega programa. Kot običajno so tudi sedaj zavile svoje kandidate v za-gnnjalo ''nestrankarstva*, kar dovolj jasno kaže. da ti kandi- Sama žalost Girard, O.—Tukaj je umrl 11. dec. 1943 po enotedenski bolezni naš sorodnik Ignac Kacich, star 55 let in rojen v vasi Drnovo pri Krškem na Dolenjskem. V Ameriko je prišel meseca marca leta 1910 in živel v tej naselbini zadnjih 27 let. Tukaj zapušča ženo, pri mornarici pa sina. Žena je zelo prizadeta, ker je v( kratkem času izgubila vso družino. Ob koncu septembra so. ji y^eljv edinega sina k vojakom, mesec pozneje ji je umrla mati, dva meseca za materjo pa je izgubila moža, tako da je zdaj čisto sama ostala. V imenu naše družine naše sožalje ženi in sinu, pokojni pa nam ostane v trajnem spominu. Dela se tukaj s polno paro, kakor povsod. Večinoma delajo tudi žene in dekleta v vojnih industrijah za čim hitrejši poraz sovražnika in da bo čim prej konec te strašne vojne, ki je prinesla žc toliko skrbi in žalosti v marsikatero družino. V na.si naselbini so že trije slovenski fantje izgubili svoje življenje v tej vojni. Ta mesec je za nas žalosten. Dne 26. febr. poteče leto dni. ko je naš sin Frank Racich da) življenje za svojo domovino. Dne 15. jan. 1943 smo prejeli telegram, da je bil sin ponesrečen na vojaških vajah. Kako sc jc nesreča zgodila, ne vemo, ker to je vojaška tajnost. V vojaški bolnišnici je ležal šest tednov, ne da bi se zavedel. Bila sem ves čas pri njem. Kako mi jc bilo hudo pri srcu, ve le mati. ki kaj takega poskusi. Zdaj je naš dom prazen in žalosten, odkar ga ni doma. Kamorkoli se ožremo, ni drugega kot spomin na ljubljenega sina in brata. Ostane nam v nepozabnem spominu. Zapustil je starše, brata Pfc Johna Racicha prt vojakih, sestri Anno Gantar in Mirni Žitnik, nečaka Ronaldn in nečakinjo Jennet Gantar, Ftrica Louisa Racicha, vsi v Girardu. teto Ano Cvetkovich v Detroitu, in strica Johna Racicha nekje v Pennsylvaniji. * Louioo Racich. 49.

"Potrpežljivost je grenko zelišče, a prinaša sladek sad," se glasi star slovenski pregovor, ki pa je še zmeraj prav tako resničen in pomenljiv. Potrpežljivost morda ni za vsak slučaj najboljša rešitev; vendar pa je za medsebojno občevanje ljudi zelo potrebna stvar in dobro bi bilo, če bi bilo tega nekoliko več tudi pri nas. To pot sate besede namenjene v glavnem našim članom, ki pošiljajo dopise za priobčitev v Prosyeti. Ni naš hamen koga odvračati. pač pa ravno narobe. Stvarm in konstruktivni dopisi so zmeraj dobrodošli in uredniki jih radi vidijo. Pa tudi za list je boljše, če je več prispe vatel jev in gradivo bolj raznovrstno. Toda naši dopisniki se preveč radi spozabijo in pišejo tudi reči, ki niso zmeraj dobre za naš list in še manj za čitatelje. Zato je potrebno spregovoriti spet nekaj o tem. Da smo v tem oziru res premalo razsodni in se radi prenaglimo, so nam najboljša priča dogodki p^i našem listu zadnje čase. Toliko očitkov, zbadanj in neprijetnih sporov—pa zakaj? Če bi bili bolj strpni in premišljeni, pa manj samoljubni in osebni, bi največ tega ne bilo in prav gotovo bi ne prišlo d6 resignacije urednika. In sedaj—komaj da je bilo javnosti sporočeno, da je glavni odbor na svoji letni seji vzel to vprašanje spet na dnevni red ter je bilo le površno omenjeno, kaj je bil zaključek, so se že spet oglasili člani, ki hočejo o tem zabavljatlin kritizirati ter soditi po svoje. Ali ne mislite, bratje, d£* bi bilo bolj pametno in pravilno počakati vsaj toliko, da bo priobčen uradni zapisnik, iz katerega boste mogli še le prav raz videti, kako smo postopali in kaj se je prav za prav" zgodilo? Ali ne mislite, da boste po prečitanju zapisnika lahko bolj premišljeno sodili in pisali ter da bomo nato veliko bolj pametno in pravilno rešili tudi to stvar? . , . • • • Krasen napredek Da ie potrpežljivost res zlata vredna lastnost, so dokaz tudi naši vrli agitatorji zu nove člane. Ako bi teh ne bilo, bi tudi ne napredovali tako lepo kot smo. Vsi vemo, da novi kandidati za pristop ne hodijo za nami, temveč moramo iti mi za njimi. Pa tudi doma ali kjer že jih dobimo, nas ne čakajo z odprtimi rokami, temveč nas radi sumljivo in* po strani gledajo, često pa še prav surovo nahrulijo, ko jih z.ičnemo nagovarjati, namesto da bi nam bili hvaležni, da jih spravljamo v naše društvo. Pri nekaterih je treba poskušati večkrat in vztrajati, za vse to pa mor« biti mnogo potrpljenja in dobre volje. Najboljša priča, da vztrajnost in potrpežljivost prinašata uspehe, je spet naša zadnja kampanja. Dasi je bila kratka, nam je pt i nesla nad tisoč novih članov. In nadalje dejstvo, da smo v pro-r tečen t m letu pojačali našo organizacijo skoro za 2300 novih čla-""v Našim lojalnim članom in vztrajnim agitatorjem se imamo "ajvec zahvaliti, da beležimo tudi v teh neugodnih časih tako lep napredek! Stalno naprej pa moramo seveda tudi v bodoč«. In potrebno je, (|i< -mo vsi na delu za nove člane. Zato pa dajmo v bodoče raje posvetiti več svoje energije taki aktivnosti, pa manj za polemike " l" išanjih, o katerih nismo dovolj poučeni in osebna prerekanja v l'n »sveti. Tako bo bolj pametno in za našo skupno stvar ko- Mstn« Zd t>C\ ( c ijl S.\l M t I a' | K rava gospodarska podlaga Poleg zdravih načel in napredka v članstvu je 'ia tudi gospodarsko stanje vsake bratske podporne organizacij važna reč.

Društvene vesti CUvisland. O.—Članstvo društva Naprej štev. 5 Je uljudno vabljeno, da se v obilnem Številu udeležuje sej našega društva, ki se vršijo vsako prvo nedeljo v mesecu v dvorani štev. 1 v S. N. domu, v avditoriju. Pričetek sej je točno ob 9. url dopoldne. Seje so zanimive, razpravlja se o raznih vainih in koristnih zadevah. Kot je še bilo j^oročano, obhaja naie drUitvo 40-letnico obstoja s zanimivim programom v avditoriju S. N. doma v nedeljo, 7. maja. Na prihodnjih sejsh bomo razpravljali, kako dobiti zadosti potrebAčln sa to proslavo, da bo res proslava enega najstarejših društev naše SNPJ. Razpravljali bomo tudi o tem, koliko smo pripravljeni pomagati naši jugoslovanski pomožni akciji in koliko SANSu. Iz raznih poročil se razvidi, da je precej društev, ki veliko pomagajo tem akcijam. Ker naše društvo ves čas svojega obstoja ni bilo eno zadnjih pri kulturnih in pomožnih akcijah, apeliram na Članstvo, da se udeležuje sej, da sklenemo koliko smo pripravljeni še darovati ali pomagati našim revežem v stari domovini. Pridite na seje in podajte vaše nasvete; L. Medvešek. tajnik. Raton. New Mrk.—Pred pa^ meseci je bilo poročano od društva 297 SNPJ glede smrti Franka Pečaka, da je nenadoma umrl. PriobČeno je bilo v tedenski Prosveti, ali je bilo pomanjkljivo. Ne vem, aH sem jaz naredil pomoto ali pa nisem dobil pravih informacij. Mogoče bi mogel povedati kak njegov sosed, ki mu je poznana njegova naselbina, ako Je zapustil kaj svojcev. Na društveni seji sem dobil navodilo, naj se še enkrat oglasim v Prosveti. Pokojni Frank Pečak je bil rojen v vasi Terbinc, (ara Trebnje na Dolenjskem. Joe Radoeevich« tajnik. " u Benld. IU. — Pozivam vse člane in članice društva 35A SNPJ, da se v polnem Številu udeleži-te prihodnje seje S. marca.

Truly, then, the year of 1943 was a year of growth and progress for the Slovene National Benefit Society, and that in spite of wartime conditions. Thus the fortieth anniversary, which our organization celebrates this year, finds the Society an eleven-million dollar organization! This inerease in membership and assets is conclusive proof of our Society's sUbility, soundness and strength as well as of its steadily growing popularity among our people. Undoubted-ly, the three-month juvenile campaign conducted ln commemora-tion of the 30th anniverssry of the founding of th* Juvenile De-partment helped considersbly in atUining this record. , The followlng comparative figuras of our Society's growth during the first two years of wsr show its steady progress in membership: " At the end of 1942 the total membership of the SNPJ was 61,851—46,337 adults and 15,514 juveniles. At the end of 1943 the total membership of the ^NPJ was 64,144—47,294 adults and 16,850 juveniles. Thus, in 1943, the SNPJ has surpassed its hlghest previous total membership which it had before the Inroads of the great depression. X I • S • Cheerful as the above figures pertaining to our Šociety*s giowth and progress are, there is, however, the other side of the ledger whlch presents stili snother pieture. Official reports submitted at the annual meeting of the Supreme Board show that in 1943 a record of 498 members in both departments died, or 37 more than in 1942. And again h^irt disease was the chief cause of deaths among our membership, while cancer was in second plače. These reports further reveal that up to the end of 1943—29 soldier-members died in vsrlous theaters of war, vvhile the indus-trlal and the home fronts exactcd 50 llves of our members! This proves our contcntlon ln an editorlal of a few weeks ago that the industrlal front ls now more dangerous than war. This ls primsrily because of the speed-up system and chlefly because of the proflt system. Last year there were 106 fewer operation cases than in 1942, while dlsability claims ineressed due to numerous accidents smong workers in war plants. For these, operations and dlsa« bi lit les, the Society paid the toUl sum of $38,290.00. • • • Among important decisions passed by the Supreme Board at its annual meeting were the followlng highlights: The SNPJ has thus far invested neariy TWO MILLION dollars ln wsr bonds. During the 4th War Loan drive it invested $300,000 ln war bonds. On April 5, s special four-page anniversary edition wlll be issued In commemoritlon of the Soclety's 40th annlversary. A jubilee membership campaign will be launched for both departments, beginning April lst and endlng November 30, 1944, wlth attractive awards for contestants. The Mladinski List will get a new name in English, this for the purpose of better agitatlon among non-Slovene youth, the name to be decided by the juveniles themselves ln a slx-month contest. A discusslon ls now ln progress as to whether Slovene read-ing mat ter is stili necessary in the Mladinski List. and farenta of juvenile members will volce their opinion on this qiestion ln the orgsn. There is no doubt thst a suitable name for the Mladinski List in English will be more sppesllng to youth everywhere; in fact, the change has long been overdue in view of our present-day needs. And as to Slovene readlng matter, lt would perhaps be best to follow the pollcy of gradual ellmlnatlon of Slovene ln preference of English. Lodge 499 Plan Victory Dance SO. CHICAGO.

Lodge CHICAGO,—There are two Important eventa coming up in the month of April, first, the 40th annl-versary of the SNPJ and, secopd, Integrity Lodge's 10th anniversary, and Integrity wlH have a hand in both. The 40th annlversary will be held on Sunday, April 9, under the auspices of the Chicago District Federation of SNPJ of which In-tegrity Lodge is a member. Then altnost two weeks later, April 22, our own lodge will celebrata its 16th anniveraary. Both of these affairs will be held at the SNPJ Auditori-um so everybody please reserve these dates and leave your worries and cares at home and spend an en-joyable time among old acquaint-snces and, of course, also at the "refreshment stand" which seems to be the most popular plače at any affair. The Federation Committee has already formulated plans for this affair and I know our members will be called Upon to help out ln various posts, so pleaae volunteer as we want to share in the responsibil-ity in making the SNPJ anniver-sary a complete success. The SNPJ may well Xeel proud of itself due to the fact it has steadi-ly grown since its inception back in 1004 and we know it will keep on growing, just like Integrity, although we dida't ,siart tuUH almost a quarter of a ce$tury later. Some day we'll hit thgt 900 mark and when we do. we'l(strike out for the 1000 gogl. . U ' i * , Despite the presknt war, cahcella-tions, deaths, etc^ the organization can stlH boast of a net *sin of 2203 members ln 1043. Show me any other organization^ fraternal or oth-erwise, which haa.produced like re-sults. . I So far as Intcgrlty's affair is con-cerned, we are going to hold a ban-quet preceding our danee. Our guests will either be the wlves or the mothers of our members ln service. Further wish to stato that out of tha net proeeeda of our ef-fair, we lntend to remember our boys in service wlth a gift. Could one want more incentive than the above to make his presence known on this occasion? Let's show our boys we have not forgotten them by attandlng ln full number. I am »ure they will appreclate lt too. Admission fdr the banquet will be $1.90 per pergon.

Y.—For another year the ValenUne danee of Lodge 980 »ill remain Ss a pleasant memo-ry. The New York AH Americans have another sucoessful affair to their credit and I am sure aH »ho attended encountered a pleasant and enjoyable evening. Miss Ann Kepic received the heart-shaped box of candy for re-ceiving the largest number of valet\-tines. Mr. Frank Arnaz, the pro-prietor of Astor HaU, received the first prize of five dollars which he returned to the treasury of thei lodge. (Thank you, Mr. Arnez, hope you »in again the next time.) The lucky »inners of the second and third prizes. respectfully, were Frank V. Padar and Charlie Mc-Creevey. I »onder if sitting at the "Shangrila" table brought about that luck? A special "Thank you" gofy to our ever-faithful mailman, Brother Peter Fugina, who once again did a swell job delivering the valentines. (Pete, I stili think you must have lost some of the letters accidentally on purpose, and I think Sigters Barbara Arshen and Helen Vatovec »ill agree »ith me on that.) Another expression of 'Thanks" goes to the decorators of the hali, A s»ell job »ell done, in fact, better and better every year. It was niče to see Pvt Julius Vatovec paying us a visit in Army u-niform. He is stationed in Maine at present and is looking as hand-some as ever. At the -Pennsylvania table »e sa» Pvt. Ed»ard Debevec, member of the Comrade Lodge in Clevelanfl, also our President, Cece-lia Murin and her šister Sophia who, incidentallyt ,has become a New York Ali American by transfer this month. At the "Forest Estates" we had the Fugina, Lenski and Kirk families and friends. At the "Mon-tana" table were the Kepic famHy, and at "Zuzemberg" we found Mr. and Mrs. Feliks Kramarsich Sr. Slovan" table, members of singing society Slovan. At "Shangrila" it »as niče to meet Rudy Mlakar who comes from Union City, Pa., and is at present employed at the Brook-lyn Navy Yard.

American Red Črtan »Ul Mladinski List—Our Juvenile Magazine Michael Vrhovnik. Juvenile Director The ftionthly juvenile magazine of the SNPJ has been issued under the name "Mladinski List" since it was first published in the month of July, 1922. Undoubtedly, it has been one of tho best mediums of instruetion and publicity for member^ of the Juvenile Department of the SNPJ through its more than twenty years of useful life. It can be deseribed as an attractive publication of thirty-two pages of miscellaneous contributions consisting of many interesting written compositions, drawings, sketehes and photographic reproductions prepared and submitted by juvenile and adult members residing in scattered sections of the country. . In the Mladinski List are published stories, poems and other informative articles authored by persons not members of the So-ciety. It is conservatively estimated, however, that approximatc-ly seventy per cent of the material each month is contributed by juvenile members of the SNPJ with or without some assistanco from their parents or other members of the respeetive families. The records reveal that over 9,000 families no\v receive a copy of the Mladinski List each month. It is sent free of charge to every family in which one or more children are members of the Juvenile Department of the SNPJ. The total juvenile membership at the close of 1943 was 16,850, which means that an avorage of one out of every two members is on the mailing list i^t the present time. ' , In spite of the large percentage of members receiving the Mladinski List, it is quite possible that many families, who have children insured in the juvenile branch, are not yet getting it. Espe-cially might this be true of members recently admitted in lodges wJiose secretaries are new, or not particularly careful, or in no great hufry to send in the names and addresses. These families may not realize it, but they are depriving their children, and pos-sibly themselves, of an enjoyable monthly treat at no extra cost. If you are not receiving the Mladinski List at your home, and you have one or more children enrolled in the SNPJ Juvenile Department, contact your local lodge secretary at once. Instruct him to send the names and addresses of your children to the main office of the Society along with a request that they be induded in the mailing list.. V Once the Mladinski List begins its monthly visits to your home, encourage your children to read it carefully and faithfully. Not only that, but urge them to occasionally write to it. If you find that they need your help, give them a lift a time or two. Read ing the magazine and writing to it will help them no matter whal field of work they will later choose, for reading* is knovvn to fill one wlth knowledge while writing makes one exact. If you are interested in completing an almost unbeatable com-' bination, in addition to that, have your children jpi,n a Juvenile Circle, where they can learn to speak before a group of otlier boys and girls and thus be ready for anything when and vvhere ncces-sary. Last year 436 juvenile members of the SNPJ contributed one or more compositions to the Mladinski List, 105 of whom received special recognition and prizes. While this record may be consid-ered satisfactory, we expect'even better results in 1944. However, to achieve our goal, we must have more cooperation from our juvenile members—and their parents, too. This means Johnny, Mary, Frankie, Helen, Tony, Frances and ali the rest of the boys and girls who have neglected the pages of the Mla4inski List. It is intended mainly for their education and enjoyment. so send in your letters, stories, poems, drawings, pietures, etc., for publication. And you fathers and mothers, encourage your children to take advantage of this opportunity. If they need help to get started, ^ive them a hand. As inducement for the old and new contributors, attractivc prizes will be awarded quarterly and at the end of the year. Last year $500.00 in United States War Stamps and Bonds were distrib-uted among the winners; this year up to the same amount has been appropriated for this purpose. Here's a chance for that boy or girl of yours to win. At the annual meeting of the Supreme Board held eorlier thr; month, it was recommended by the District Vice-Presidcnts and the Juvenile Director that the name "Mladinski List" be changd to one that will have more appeal on the average American boy and girl of Slovene or any other extraction. This recommcnda-tion was approved and provision made to conduct a name contast prlor to the semi-annual meeting of the Supreme Board in Amrust. Announeement of the details of the contest will be published laftr. Watch for it.

Hand Creams Protectlve hand creams are help-ful in many kinds of factory work, reports Consumers Union. Many workers are uglng material* and chemicals which are hard on the handa; others are esposed to dust, spattering machine grease and bits of flying debris whlch can cause sensitive skin to become inflamed. This conditloa, known as "factory dermatitis" can often be minimized by use of a protectlve cream, wnich acts as an invisible covering, pre-venting dust, frime and grease from jecoming embedded in the skin. There are two maln types: hand creams for general use, and "bar-rier" creams msde up especially for typos of work involvlng partlculor irritatlng substsnces. The creams for general use sre usually emulsions similar to vanishing cream but wlth added inert powders sueh as tale, zine stearate, ete. Proteetivk creams should leave tho flngars free to move, should be practically invisible and casy both to appljr and remove. CU tested 14 brands of tha general type and found ali fulfllled these conditions. It also tested for acidity and alkalinity. since authorltics seem to agree that creams left in contact with the skin for long periods of time should be as nearlv neutral as possible. CU found the following creams were nearly neutral: Creamy Olovot Noo-FUast Srečk pH7.

Debunking the Vitamin Pili Craze AU Good Diet Gives All Necded Vitamina; An Oversupply Is Useless, Sometimes Dangerous By Dr. Olai Mlckolson -(In the Midland Cooperator) What Aro Vitamlns? Vitamin* are substances needed by the body in small amounts for normal health. They are organic in nature, in that tbey can be burned when put in a flapie, vvhereas the minerals needed 4n the body will not burn. There -are. at present some 10 well-established vitamina. Of these there Is so far a definife proof that human beings require at least seven. Vitamina are usod by the body in convorting the food we eat into the energy which permits us to keep going. n v f- "The Olory Road to Health" The present jprsssure from ali forms of adverUeing would lead one to belleve that the surest way to health, vigor and a life of buoyant happiness is the way of vitamin pills. Every radio station, popular mag-azine and newspap«r pours out ®n incessant flood of so-called "aCien-tlfic proof" that vour diet is dangerous^ dcficient in vitamina. They then list the large number of symp-toms resulting from a deficiency of vitamina, sueh as tiredness, sorc muscles. sluggishnesa, indispositlon, backache, and so on. If you wcre to bolleve these pro-nouncemcnta—and evidcntly many consumers do—ali you now n«;d is a vitamin preparation. These taken fatUifully over o period of a month or more. should, aecording to the claims, rcstorc your failing health. Oood Diet Needed The evidence, however. points to this: in order to make sure that the body reče i ves ali of the substances ncccsaary to normal health the normal adult individual noeds to main-tain only a good diet, that includes meats. cggs. vegetables. fruit*. ce-reals, milk and mllk produets. Sueh a dlet is wbat the average person in the noiihwest alreadv cata. By maintainin« It we are not onty aasured of <** jMquate supply and the variSa^ of' Jbod that the body needa bgt tib V* tuaran-tced a sufficlent amount of vitamina. The only way we can be sure of an adequate aupply of ali vitamina is to get them from natural foods. prepared ao aa to reUin Ihe great-est nosalble v it Srnin poteney Even U \\ «*« epi iona. is ix)lor«d In favor r»f ihe emolovrr Vet there are al-w*y* Uo sides to «ny dtaout« In Ihe*c dav« the \vorklng |>eot>l< mred a fr* dollars more to cover the ever risins cr *ts ol living 'Judgmg from the finamial re-•>«»• 1» ut the Wall Sti|-et Journal, itiitiuti y u w« II able to comply with oh h dtmands biggeat prtiSl »n m» hiatorv i* tieing piled up. de-apile i»i opaganda to IbS Sonlrarv Th. i«-po,t» inclodr bolh steel and J A cokmel waa apeaklng at a din taiboads nov. figuilna in cfnrrni nor given In hia honor before em disinii.» tairktng for Afriea.

As the amount of &ork per-formed was the same for both groups, here was proof that the ad-dition of extra vitamlns to a good diet has absolutely no beneficial in-fluences. Extra Doses Wasiod ■ Much of work in the laboratory has shown that the ingestion of more vitamins than the body fteeds results in a prompt excretion of the excess. The body requires a regular »upply in small adequate amounts of most vitamins. But when a large dose is taken it ls wa*ted. By relying upon foods for our sup-ply of vitamins wc are npt so l^kely to cncounter this difficulty. And there ia another good reaaon why an individual should refrain from the indiseriminate use of vitamin pills: large amounta of certaln vitamins may be toxic. An increaaing amount of evidence indicates that vitamins A, D and thiamine may be harmful in large doses. One cannot teli yet vvhether the use of fairly large amounta of the other vitamins taken over a long period of time are also toxic. VUamtn Experiments v The {fTesence of ali vitamins was first established By cxperimental work on the rat, guinca plg, chick, dog and monkey. In vitamin stu-dies on animals, purified food sub-r.tances sueh as casein (the protein from milk), sugar, some fat sueh as butter (washed to remove vvater-soluble vitamins) or lard or vegeta-ble shortening. are used as basal ra-tions. To this are added minerals and the vitamins, ali prepared ln pure form. Young animals, newly weaned. are put on this ration and their growth rate compared with that of other animals receiving a mixture of natural foods. Usually, the animals on the purified ration grow much more slowly than those on the ngtural foods. A sccond stane in sučh an eaperiment is to add to the purified dleta su4h foods as liver, yeast or kidney. That food combination whirh can be used in the amallest amount to product an increaae in growth of the animals is then studied in the effort to isolate the new growth factor. Eventually, by theae means, a ntw substance is added to the kootvn list of vitamins. Note, when sueh an eaeellent source of vitamin.

Spilar and Frank J. Lotrich. Frank Jacoby. a member of Friendly Clty Lodge (684), Johns-lown, Pa., long aetive in the športa activities of the SNPJ in the lst District (Eastern Pennsylvania and New Vork), took over the plače va-zated by Thomas Bricely who is now in the military service of the United States. The contest in District No. 2 (Ohio and Michigan) was between the same two candidates who were nominated for this posi-tion a year ago, but the result this time favored John J. Spilar. Cleveland, Ohio, over his opponent, Jo- 2715. The star of the day was Elwood Blake, who came through with 216 and 258 in a 050 series for SND. This gives Blake both the single-high and the series-high in the individual high-seore column s of the league. Also for SND, Joe Junko had a 503 series including a 214 game. While Andy Werholtz didn't get a 200-game, he bowled consist-ently for a 557 total. Golia rolled a 210 game in a 547 series. Baker had 478. For the Screwballs, Bob Travnik was high-man with a 567 series, including a g«me of 204. Smoltz was next with 557; Ruzich had 529; John Dolence rolled 489; and the Young American President, Georgc Stimac, had 418. Although they lost three points, the Screwballs are stili in first, with SND only one point behind. It will be a good race in the home streteh, for the third-place team, Onyx Top-plers are only a point behind SND. After bowling, everybody went to the Dom. John Jane, Frank Goljer, Tom Barich, and the Omira Cafe cach donated a half-barrel of becr for the bowling party. Karun and Spendal brought their instruments and played for dancing. Victor Alp-ner of the Milwaukee Badgers and Lefty Lotrich from Chicago, werc on hand to participate in the day's activities. It's niče to know that the war hasn't entirely disrupted our inter-city interests and visits. George Stimas had his movie eam-era and made good use of it/ He' also entertained us with movies— some of which he had taken on Hal-loween. Congratulations to Lt. and Mrs. Joe Zrimec who recently became the proud parents of a prospoetive new member. (He's a boy.) For an evening of bingo and dancing come to the Young Amcrieans' next party, to be held Saturday, March 4, at 17153 John R. ADOLPH KOSS, 564. The Way of Genius The celebrated Greek artist, Zeu-xis, pa in tod a pieture of a bov car-rying a basket of grapes, and so lifclike were the grapes that the blrdg flcw down and pecked them. The, friends of the painter ex-claimed over this wonderful mani-festation of his genius, but Zcuxis was bitterly disappointed in his work. "The boy must be very poorly painted," he confesaed, sadly, "else his presence would have frightened the birds away from the grapes." • Held at Bay Mother (on train)—If you'ro not a good boy, 1*11 slap you. 'Junior—You do, and 1*11 teli the conductor how old I really am. * Certaln Vlctory Writing to a school friend now in Canada. a 12-year-old English boy eoneluded his letter as follows: "Most people think we shall win the war, because Germany is a fa-therland and England is a mother-land. When mother anb father fight, mother aiways wins."
