This time it was more than an ordinary good- tim e party it was a real get-to- gether and that kind of party is necessary this year more than ever. With the arrangement of classes and the difference of stages of instruction there must be some way of getting ac-i quainted with ali of the tudents. Those who come at 7:00 and stay until 8:00 have no oppor- tunity of seeing those who come only at 9:00 and those in the last class have no idea of who is in the first or second class.

Party a Real Get-together There was no difference in the good time with a game “Do you-know-your-neighbor” or a similar acquaintance game the party was like one big family at which everyone knew every one else and everyone is having a good time. And that is what bappened at this get-together. Laughter, fun and ali the other things that make a pleasant eve¬ ning are the things which have hade last Saturday night an out- standing party. It was. only toojbad that ali of the students of the Slovene school did not feel that they should be there. But they have been already informed of the good time they missed and it is almost certain that they will not miss the next get-together of the Slovene school. Visitors Get Into Špirit of Fun As the evening progresseo the various games were triecl and among them vvas Pussy, Poor Pussy. It was amusing to note the špirit with which sev- eral of the visitors entered th«. game and provided fun* for the others while they themselves had a barrel of fun. People who are the most serious and most sedate in puhlic life got into th spirits of the game. While a other times they danced wrth the broom. It was an evening of real fun and good time for ali who came there. . Not the least of the evening s preparations was the dehghtful luncheon vvhich was prepared by members of the school. No only the preparations of the lunch itself but the preparation of the cake and pie that made up the articles of the lunch The party disbanded soon att- er midnight with regrets that it - - faithful The St. Clair East 55th branch of the Cleveland Public Library will be only one of the places where Good Book Week will be celebrate during the next week which has been set aside as Good Book Week for the whole nation. The purpose of Better Book Week is to introduce good books to the home and to en- courage the reading of more and better books. When the reaa- ing habit is once acquired, there is bound to result the enjoymei, \ and contentment which comes from the intimate knowledge of books. The celebration at the St. Clair Library will not consist only of a display of good books and the special application of reading to books and the conse- quent enjoyment that comes from reading. The members of the St. Clair East 55th branch have been very busy with a very interesting program which will be .presented on Tuesday Nov. 18, 1930 at 8:00 P. M. and to vvhich they are inviting ali the adults who live in the district of the library. The program will be diversified and interest¬ ing it includes the presentation of “The Necklace’’ by the mem¬ bers of the St. Clair Reading club, musical selections of a par- ticular Slovene character, the awarding of Honor certificates for the Summer Reading and a short address by the Editor of the Cleveland Journal. Mr. Suhadolnik as editor of the Cleveland Journal and librar- ian at John Caroll University is especially qualified to interpret the message of Good Book Week to the adult and juvenile friends of St. Clair. He will speak in Slovene and in English. The children taking part in the play, “The Necklace’’ tare:- Frances Susal.Mathilde Margaret Cupp .Pierre Leona Alec.Jeanne Mary Stavisina .

The only assurance was that they were the cleverest and the most practical prizes that could be gotten for the occasion. The Jugoslav Slovene club has been hard at work getting the things ready for the actual pre¬ paration of the party whieh will be the first of its kind in the history of the club. The club ran dinner dances and other so- cials but this is the first time that they will be hostesses at a bridge party that will be spon- sored by the club for them¬ selves. It is with a feeling of ex- periment that they are entering into th plans and though they are for most part experienced hostesses they are planning and planning to make it one of the best that could be staged. The club rooms have been carefully surveyed for the decorations. When the guests enter on the evening of Novem¬ ber 22 they will find themselves in an atmosphere that will be very conductive to playing a lot of bridge and \vinning one of the prizes that will be offered.

It recognizes no bounderies of par. ty, religion, neighborhood oi race either in solicitations or Service. The seriousness of the com¬ ing campaign was stressed by Samuel Mather, honorary chair- man and largest donor, at a din¬ ner last week which he gave in honor of leaders of the various divisions, He said: “This seems to he a splendia opportunity to test and to test successfully one of the finest charaeteristics of our count/y, namely the sense of team play in a community, the locality to acommon enterprise which rep- resents a genuine, enduring ano fundamental need of the com- munity. “The unusual circumstances that make this year’s campaign so difficult of successfull accom* plishment are so well known that it is unnecessary to ennum- erate them. They are the same in ali cities as in Cleveland, and indeed throughout the length and breadth of the land, and equally throughout the length and breadth of the land ali good citizens who are worthy of the name are jumping to meet the emergency. “ It is a spectacle that might fill us with pride and satisfac- tion that we are citizens of this country.” The speech made by the aged financial leader was the longest ever delivered by him in behalf of the Fund. “The trouble here is that the people suffer from a fear com- plex,” was the statement of Rt. Rev. James A. Freeman, Bishop of the Episcopal Dioceses of Washington, D. C., who was guest speaker at the same meet- , ing. “But we of America have a appropriatej confidence 1q recover, the like of vvhich doesn’t exist in any other nation. We have the men, the country and the will. “Let’s face this crisis. Touch the heart of the Community. Bring it to its knetes.

Economic conditions, unforseen when budgets were made a year ago, have placed a tremendous load upon chiaritable Service. Th« 1930 burden is so great that Fund resources are failing by almost $300,000 to meet neces- sary expenditures of family r«» lief and child agencies. The goal of $4,650,000 whjch vvas successfully raised last year is not enough for next year. Judging by present experiences, it will fall short by $450,000.

It may be true that the sing¬ ing and the smooth running of the plot is oftentimes punctu- ated by stops from the tyram- cal arm of the director vvho is very anxious to have every phrase interpreted as he sees it and feels it.

There is many a theme that could be written up about the Siovenes in their vvork. The coming of the first Slovenes. The story of the first Slovene bishop in America who wrote the most ccmplete dictionary and grammar of the Indian language; stories of the founding of the Slovene fraternal organizations bound into the background on stories of adventure of love can serve as delightful bits of information that is bound to wake an interest in the Slovenes. Instead of telling of a picnic to the woods why not teli the story of going to a Slovene picnic and unfold a com- pletely different picture that would be interesting because it would be different and serve another purpose? The Slovenes sh.ould realize that no one will be interested in them unless they themselves become interested in themselves. No one will change his or her opinion of the Slovenes or any other nationality until it is proven that the opinion should be changed. The challenge of making themselves has been thrown at the Slovenes in many ways, it is a question of how the Slovenes, especially the youth will answer the challenge. COMMUNITY FUND (Continued from page one) of an additional $450,000 next Many years ago Fran Levstik wrote his famous “Napake Slovenskega Slovstva” in which he explained the reasons whv he considered Slovene Literature very difficient. One of his great objections to contemporary literature was the fact that the Slo¬ vene went outside of their own native land for plots and char¬ acters to'construct the stories. “The Slovenes have enough myths, enough characters. They have lived through trying time of the Turkish inroads and have had a sufficiently interesting lile to teli of things that would interest Slovenes themselves”. That was many years ago and people who have followed that advice of Fran Levstik have become famous and are living today through the medium of their books. The Slovenes in America are in somewhat similar position in their work especially the youth in schools. It is no idle argument- ation that in many cases the name of Slovene boys and girls has been a drawback to them in school and in getting on in the world. Many have follovved the simple expedient of changing their name to something that has a very much more cosmopolitan sound but that is only a way of dodging the issue at hand. In this demo- cracy called.the United States everyone has an equal opportunity and name, theoretically, should not be a drawbaek. Actual pract- ice and idealism are tvvo different things and people who are most considerate and most j ust in their dealings with others will make decisions on the name. There are many cases where the name was a definite drawback to getting positions that were sought. Lx Obris Conducted by the St. Clair Branch Public Library. Ji Canfield, Dorothy Deepening Stream The story is concerned with the development and growth of woman in her relation to on Instead of having a feeling that there is nothing in a name stili the Slovenes or any people who have not come here on the Mayflower have a feeling that they are outcasts 'and inferior beings. And the underlying reason why that feeling exists is be¬ cause one has been advertised and the other has permitted him- self to be accepted for what he was. But the supposition did not hold. Even today there are elements in our country who are being accepted on their nationality because they are being ad¬ vertised more and more and people are seeing more and more that even if they did not come with the first boatload of im- migrants in the 17th Century they have thoughts and culture. That has been the history of the Germans. That is being the hi- story of the Italians and the Poles who are interested in them¬ selves to spread propaganda and being recognized as real nation- alities vvho have meant something in the past and who have something definite to add to the civilization and the culture of the United States. More and more people are realizing that Nationalities are doing their bit in making the United States the best land in which to live and die. The interest in Cleveland of the metropolitan papers in planning the various inter-national- ity exhibits, theatricals, and gymnastics are a concrete proof that such is the trend of affairs. life. Matey Gilbert, one of 3 children, grows up in the £amily of a college professor, but«twith an earnestness and sincerity that help her in the “deepening stream.” Avvakened to the es- sence of life through happiness, love, suffering and misery, Ma¬ tej, at length, finds peace and happiness in humble living. She puts her convictions thus: “If there’s anything in the world that’s cheap and shoddy, it’s dramatic living — What an awful thing life turns into when you always plan how it’s going to look from the outside — you don’t know how miserable it makes you on the inside.” mental, loyal Galsworthy. 1 * * * Ostenso, Martha Waters under the Earth Galsworthy, John On Forsyte Change The Slovenes themselves could do ever so much more to have others recognise them as real people who are as mentally de- veloped as the best of them only if they would be interested in themselves. One of the simplest ways of doing that would be to advertise themselves in the schools not by wearing signs on their backs proclaiming their nationalities but by subtle work. The suggestion of Fran Levstik to the literatures of Slovenia more than seventy-five years ago should hold for the American Slo¬ vene boys and girls in their school work. There is much that could be written in the short story assignments of Slovene life, many little things could be told of their work in compositions and essays that would make people understand that the Slovenes though they do not claim to be the best people on earth, though Five generations of Forsytes we have known intimately in the “Forsyte Saga,” and yet so many things in their lives have been only hintecl at.

The first obligation of every donor is to pledge to the regular goal. Budgets of 68 of the 105 agencies show drastic cuts be- low this yoax’s allovrances. In ali budgets were cut more than by $400,000 to make ali posible provision for family relief and child čare Services whose expen- ses will remain high in 1931. As these cuts fail by $450,000 to provide relief organizations with sufficient emergency income, it was necessary to include this item in the special $750,000 ap peal. Relief agencies will receive 39.5 per cent more than vvas budgeted for them this year and child čare agencies will have 5.8 per cent more. Ali other groups will receive less: adult institu- tions, 5.9 per cent less; charact er building, 10.7 per cent less; health promotion, 14.4 per cent less; hospitals, ,6.2 per cent less; and miscellaneous agencies, 15.6 per cent less. Each dollar vvhich goes into Community Fund coffers will be divided as follows: family relief, 23.4 cents; hospitals and dis- pensaries, 19.2 cents; čare of destitute children, 18 cents; so¬ cial settlements and other char¬ acter building agencies, 15.8 cents’; protective Services and miscellaneous, 6.1 cents; health promotion and nursing, 4 cents; homes for aged, 1.4 cents; na- tional and state welfare organi¬ zations (including red cross membership), 2.2 cents; estim- ated pledge shrinkage, 6.2 cents; campaign costs, 1.9 cents; Fund office and collection expenses, 1.8 cents. In ten months of 1930, relief agencies have provided food, clothing and shelter for nearly three times as many people as fieeded aid last year. Greater Cleveland has fared better during the unemp!oy- nient period than other cities.’ In St. Loiiis, New Orleans, In dianapolis and Philadelphia, the burdens on the family relief agencies were so great that they were forced to close their doors to any more applicants. Many cities conducted special emergency campaigns. Following start of the depres- sion a year ago, the Community in its history. Pledge pay- ments in 1930 exceeded those of any comparable period.

T. SUHADOLNIK Erjavec vvrote tales of his own times ana therefore vvas a recorder of contemporary times. Of a differ-ent nature were the naratives of Valentin Mandelc. He produced some historical novels. Valentin Mandelc was born at Kranj in 1837, After his preliminary edu- cation and college in Ljubljana he went to Vienna to study classical and Slovanic philology. Due to his fail- ing health he did not get his final examinations fin- ished until a year before his death in 1872. In 1852 he was appointed instruetor at Varaždin and in 1864 at Karlovec vvhere he died. While he was in Ljubljana the contributors to the Vaje gathered at his home and it was there that most of the criiical work was per- formed. Even in that early stage of literary work he tried some poems but when he vvas instruetor he be- gan very seriously to v/ork on the novel. His first novel was published in the Glasnik. Infused with the counter revolution of 1848 he vvrote “Jela” in 1858 and “Ce¬ pec” in 1859. The later is a tale of peasant life of former times. Later in his life he tried his hand at translation especially from the French though he also -translated from the German. The first act of “Faust” remained in manuseript. Sornevvhat later Valentin Zarnik made his appear- ance. Zarnik was born at Repnjah, but he spent his youth in Ljubljana vvhere his father moved. At Vienna he studied history for one year and then he devoted ali of his time to law. By profession he vvas a lawyer and a politician. He died at Ljubljana in 1888. As a University študent he vvrote two novels, “Ura bije, človeka pa ni” and “Maščevanje usode”. The first of the two is a curious intermingling of very realistic picture of peasants at their daily work and the le- gendary tale of the Water Man (Slovene mythical character). The second is a love story vvhich moves in the historical setting of the revolution of 1848 among the Poles and the Croatians. Zarnik also vvrote some travelogues and characteristic sketches filled vvith drastic humor. At Vienna the group of “Vaje” contributors ac¬ cepted Janez Mencinger as one of their numbers, though he did not originally belong to the group being two years behind them. Mencinger vvas born at Brod in 1828. After his gymnasium he vvent to Vienna vvhere he studied Classical philology and then lavv. When he finished his studies he vvas the lavv assistent to Dr. Razlaga at Brezica and then opened his own lavv Office at Kranj and in 1882 at Krka. He died in 1912. Mencinger’s early vvork is noteworthy because he departed from the set form of his companions. He . pictures city life in contrast to peasant life vvhich is the main characteristic of his fellovvs. In his novel “Jerici” he made a contrast betvveen educated tovvns- people and peasants. While the “Vetrogoneic” is a story of tovvnspeople themselves. Not wholly devoted only to tovvnspeople he vvrote tales of the peasants as illustrated in “Človek toliko velja, kar plača” and a, predicessor of his “Hoje na Triglav” is found in “Zla¬ to pa sir”, “Bore mladost” is his attempt to vvrite a historical tale on a psychological basis. After the Glasnik appeared no more Mencinger ceased to be active for a time. But he comes back and fully developed man in his contributions to the “Lju¬ bljanski Zven” full of humor and pleasant satire. His later tales are full of departures from the main nar- rative in vvhich he steps aside, so to speak, to have a chat vvith the reader on some political or social question of vvhich he is an expert. Contemporary but not exactly in the same circle is Andrejčkov Joze-Podmilsak a študent of Josip Jur¬ čič. He contributed to various papers but his best stories vvere published in the publications of the Mo¬ horjeva Družba. His most knovvn story is “žalost in ve¬ selje”. Among the younger poets of the Slovenski Glas¬ nik vvas Anton Umek - Okiski born at Okic in 1838 and vvas professor at Celovec vvhen he died in 1871. His bound volume of poems is forgotten today though in his day he vvas very popular. Only one remains pop- ular today and that vvas saved because it is used as a song. It is “Bodi mi zdrava, rožica zala”. Into oblivion have gone also his epical poems, “Slovenska blagovest¬ nika” and “Abuna Soliman” Gregory Krek another contributor lives today vvith his epic poems “Na sve¬ ti večer o polnoči” though Jiis farne lies in the his li- terary vvork as a theorist in languages vvhile he vvas professor at Gradec. Very important in this era is Ivan Vesel - Vesnin of Mengs_ His first attempts vvere both in poetry and in novel vvriting. His interest lay in the Russian poets vvhich he translated very profusely he is responsible for the “Ruska antologia v slovenskih prevodih” vvhich vvas published by A. Aškerc. Being a priest he vvas also interested in the poetical vvorks of the Bible and pu¬ blished in a vvonderful translation the Psalms. They may be said to be the forerunners of Gregorcic’s book of “Job”. venia or the stirring stories of Croatian smugglers or stories of the monks at Siska.

How much Jurčič vvas influenced by his gr aIlu father is shovvn in his first efforts at the novel. influence is permanently shovvn vvhen Jurčič in tbb ute to his ins-piration vvrote a series of stories under the title “Spomini na deda” (Thoughts of my Gran Dad) in vvhich he collected some of the tales vvhich N- grand - father related.

The most noticeable influence on« Jurčič were „ er novels of Walter Scott vvhom he read incessantly 9. Josip Jurčič. His Youth. he received the first Walter Scott book in 1862- that influence he decided that he, too, must be a velist. Of greater importance and a practical inf a ^ vvere the literary reforms recomended by L ^ S g loveI ie Some of the prize contributions that are held by the “Slovenski Glasnik” and the yearly 'publications of the books of the Mohor Society are the novels of Josip Jurčič, the most developed and most profičient vvriter of Slovene popular novels. Josip Jurčič vvas born on the 4th of March, 1844 at Muljava situated on the river Krka. He vvent to school at Krka in 1855 he vvent to Ljubljana vvhere he com- pleted his preliminary education. For a part of his education he attended the St. Aloysius Academy for boys. Jurčič vvas not yet graduated from school in Vienna vvhen he vvas already knovvn as a popular no¬ velist. As a senior the Slovenski Glasnik published his first novel “Pripovedka o beli kači” (Story of the V/hite Snake). Jurčič heard the tale from his grand- father vvho deiighted to teli him stories of fairies, v/itehes, and ghosts or tales vvith historical back¬ ground from the times of Turkish inroads into Slo- especially “Napake Slov. pisnaje” (Faults wltn ,, pot o- literature) “Martin Krpan”, “Deseti brat” and ^ / ^1.*. j J vanje iz Litije do Čadeža”.

KOTNIK 653 650 Debelak and Laffey Members A team that holds down 4th plače in a league of twenty teams has to roli very consis- tently to hold its position. And when one considers that the Joy- ous Boys are holding that posi¬ tion in a tough loop such as the Smith’s “A” league one realizes what sort of competition the boys have to meet to prove their vvorth. Two local “veteran” pinsters are the big stars of the Joyous Boys outfit. They are Frank “Laffey” Milavey, the rabid race track fan and “Chuck” De¬ belak, formerly of Toledo and points west. By the way, the Joyous Boys boast of the best dressed team in town (Cleveland is not a small town either, even IF IT IS A NINE 0’CLOCK TOWN.) The quintet also has the lar- gest follovving, numbering about forty enthusiastic rooters at ali its games. Al. Milavey as present is lead¬ ing the league with a two hun- dred average. He rolls with the Undertakers. Cleveland will witness an in¬ door football exhibition for the first time Sunday evening, Nov. every-j23, at puhlic hali. The demon- stration is a part of a three-hour amateur athletic carnival spon- sored by the Public Athletic league, an organization made up of amateur šport executives in Greater Cleveland. Only once before has a foot¬ ball exhibit been made off the gridiron. This was two weeks ago at Atlantic City, where Lin¬ coln Dickey, former head of the local auditorium and now in the same capacity in the eastern city, put on a regulation college game betvveen Waehington and Jefferson and Lafayette univer- sities. At the carnival four of Cleve¬ land^ amateur teams, Budd Sports, Fiordalisi Furnitures, Good Sports, and Cleveland Ti- gers will be in complete uniform and give a ten-minute demon- stration in passing and punting. After that, the teams will run through signal practice and complete their part of the pro¬ gram by staging a dummy scrimmage. The St. Clair Neighborhood Center will also be represented. Tlfe local boys will feature in vvrestling, tumbling and swim- ming. Tickets seli at fifty cents each and can be gotten at the St. Clair Neighborhood Center, 6250 St. Clair Avenue.

Some time ago our good friend Pete Thomas went out on a ram¬ page and blasted the pins for a two hundred ninety-five game. No\v Mr. Thomas did not do thia merely through lučk. He has been rolling good score for the past years. So when we ask: “How do you do it?” we are sel- fishly asking for the info that we might be able to duplicate his fete. • Give us a call anytime, Pete, at 6250 St. Clair avenue. Four clubs are in a deadlock in fourth plače. Two of the out¬ fits namely Cleveland No. 9 and the Collimvood Boosters ^ will help break the tangle when they meet Sunday. The Boosters are plenty tough enough to give any five a good argument. Their opponents hovvever, have rolled some good scores in the past and if they come out with their fighting clothes Sunday they should be hard to down. Past records though reveal the Boost¬ ers to be the outfit which will emerge vietorious. The mention of a Spartan—• Comrade contest always brought out plenty of rooters from botb clubs. There teams have keen rivalry dating back three years \vhen the Spartans stopped trie Comrade crew which had up un- til then defeated ali comers. Thij was before the Interlodge lague vvas organized. Both carried on their grudges in the present Cir¬ cuit, with the Comrades having the better mark in the matter of games played against each other. The Spartan fans will teli you and bet you that the Comrades will be dovvned this season and very easily ab.that. Both Clubs have some new ma¬ terial. The acquisition of John- ny Milavec and Larry Slogar to an already strong team, earns the Spartan elan the title of the “Murderers Row.” The other pinstirs' are veterans, Charley Wolgemuth, Peterlin and Wyso- pal. The Comradels plače their hope upon their captain Frank Fifolt, Smole and B. Alich. Now if only Rudy Turk and Slabe hit their stride you can look for- ward to a lively afternoon with the same high špirit prevailing as in the past. But if the Com¬ rades let up ever so little in each of the games, the Spartans will just chalk up three more thafs ali. While the Spartans may meet vvith some opposition the Geo. Washington’s should ride com- paratively easy over the Orels. One loss for the Spartans and three wins for the G. W.’s will put them both in a tie for first plače. The Pioneers haye finally sue- ceeded in getting Frankie Mako¬ vic into their lineup. But it is not the baseball season at the present time so the S. Y. M. G.-s wfll have little to fear . It is rumored that Frankie will pitch for the Pioneers in spring. That is when they will come in for their share of the glory. The Arcadians and the Loyal- ites should finish on top in their battles vvith the Bettsy Ross and Utopians. MOST EVERYTHING SOKOLS Rupnik Schuster F. Jereb S Bencina F.

They serve fes mile stones vvhich mark a definite spot in the advance- ment or the progress of the or¬ ganization. It is an occasion at vvhich one can have a breathing speli and a chance to look back. It is also an occasion on which tbere is general good time and fun that can be had in honor of the occasion. The Arcadian Club of Collin- vvood vvill have its Fourth An- niversary this fall and they will celebrate the occasion vvith a dance to commemorate the ev- entful date. The Arcadians will do it with a dance that vvill be held at the Slovene Working- men’s Home on Waterloo Road. on Saturday, November 22nd. They assure a good time with plenty of refreshments and a general good time. They are sure that they can entertain well and have engaged the Ar¬ cadian Melody Pilots to play for the occasion.
