RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
TRGOVSKA AVTIVNOST Federal Reserve Board naznanja, da se je trgovinska aktivnost v tej deželi tekom meseca septembra zelo dvignila in da prav malo zaostaja za tozadevno višino v letu 1937. Kupčija se vrši večinoma med domačimi tvrdkami, in sicer v glavnem za izpopolnitev domačih zalog ter
v	pričakovanju večjih naročil iz inozemstva. Tudi banke beležijo večje investicije, kar se pripisuje gradnji novih tovarn in povečanju obstoječih. Zaposle-I nost se je znatno dvignila in is-totako so se dvignili dohodki dežele v splošnem.

ZA VARNOST PACIFIKA Pretekli teden je iz Los Angelesa odplulo 39 ameriških vojnih ladij proti Havaju. Za njimi je poletelo v isti smeri 80 vojnih letal. Vse to je namenjeno ojačen ju ameriške patrulje na Pacifiku. Atlantska stran ameriškega obrežja je dobro patruljirana po vojnih ladjah in letalih. Istočasno skrbi vlada Zedinjenih držav za varnost na za-padni strani ameriškega kontinenta.
MIR SE ZAČNE DOMA Predsednik Roosevelt je pretekli teden poslal posebno poslanico konvenciji American Federation of Labor, vsebujočo poziv, da naj omenjena unijska organizacije spet začne s pogajanji za sodelovanje z drugo veliko unijsko skupino, Congress of Industrial Organizations. Predsednik je poudaril, da je v teh nemirnih časih potrebno, da se začne z delom za mir doma in da naj obe veliki delavski organizaciji položita na stran pretirani ponos in sebičnost ter naj prenehata z medsebojnim bojem. Ameriško ljudstvo potrebuje in zahteva v teh časih kar največjo složnost doma in pri tem morajo sodelovati tudi unije organiziranega delavstva.
i
AMERIŠKA ZRAČNA SILA Zedinjene države imajo sedaj samo okrog štiri tisoč vojnih letal ,to je znatnd manj kot jih imajo Anglija, Nemčija, Rusija ali Italija posamezno. Toda ta dežela ima nad deset tisoč potniških in tovornih letal, mnogo izvežbanega letalskega osob-ja in skoro neizčrpne zaloge olja, kar omogoča vežbanje de-settisočev letalcev. Poleg tega se število ameriških vojnih letal množi z vsakim mesecem.
PROZOREN TRIK Ameriškega m o r n a riškega atašeja v Berlinu je dne 5. oktobra pozval k sebi nemški admiral Erich Raeder in mu povedal, da ima iz zanesljivih irskih virov poročilo, da bo ameriški potniški parnik Iroquois blizu ameriške obale potopljen po Angležih. Na krovu Iroquoisa je okrog 500 Američanov, ki se vračajo iz Evrope domov. Ataše je to vest takoj sporočil predsedniku Rooseveltu, ki je takoj odredil, da odpluje oddelek ameriških vojnih ladij Iroquoi-su naproti in ga spremlja proti domu. Poročilo nemškega admirala je seveda prozoren trik, da zvrne krivdo na Angleže, če bi nemška podmornica omenjeni ameriški potniški parnik potopila.
AMERIŠKA VZAJEMNOST Na vseameriški konferenci, ki je zborovala od 23. septembra (Dalje na 4. str.)
Vprašanje: Prišel sem nezakonito v Združene države meseca februarja 1923. Že mnogo let čakam na priliko, da bi uredil svoje bivanje in postal ameriški državljan. Ali je res, da mi je i sedaj dana priložnost to stvar urediti ?
Odgovor: Res je. Kongres je končno sprejel dodatek k zakonu, ki je dajal inozemcem, ki so prišli pred 3. junijem 1921, pravico takozvane registracije Ta pravica je bila sedaj raztegnjena na vse one, ki so prišli; pred 1. julijem 1924, pa ni ni-1 kakega zapiska o njihovem zakonitem prihodu v svrho stalnega bivanja. Predsednik je pod-! pisal novi zakon dne 7. avgusta in je zakon takoj stopil v ve-j Ijavo. — Da se stvar uredi, i mora inozemec ali inozemka dokazati sledeče: 1) Da je prišel
v Združene države pred dnem 'i. julija 1924; 2) da je po svojem prihodu neprenehoma stanoval v Združenih državah; 3) da je oseba dobrega moralnega značaja; 4) da ni podvržen deportaciji. — Za prošnje služi tiskovina Form 659. Treba tiskovino izpolniti v dopisu in jo poslati najbližji priseljeniški postaji z Money Ordrom za $10 in dvema fotografijama.
Vprašanje: Prišel sem leta 1925 v Združene države skupaj s svojo ženo, sicer zakonito, ali le začasno na obisk. Radi zmedenih razmer v Evropi pa sem ostal tukaj. Dobro zaslužim in nisem bil nikdar na relifu. Nekje sem čital, da je bil v kongresu zakonski predlog, ki bi | dovolil inozemcem, ki so tukaj j vsaj 10 let, da uredijo svoje bivanje, tako da morejo postati ameriški državljani. Ali je bil ta predlog sprejet?
Odgovor: Tak prediog je bil stavljen v prejšnjem zasedanju kongresu, ne pa v ravnokar mi-nolem. Kakor zakon danes stoji,
vi in vaša žena sta podvržena deportaciji. Edini način za ureditev stanja je ta, da se podate v inozemstvo in zaprosite ameriškega konzula za priseljeniško vizo. Druga stvar bi bila, če bi bili prišli pred 1. julijem 1924, kajti ravnokar je sprejet zakon, ki omogoča legaliziranje onim, ki so prišli pred tem dnem.
Vprašanje: Ali je res, da je bil sprejet zakon, ki določa registracijo vseh inozemcev v Združenih državah?
Odgovor- Bil je tak predlog v kongresu, ali kongres ni nič ukrenil v tem pogledu. Enaki predogi so bili stavljeni v raznih državnih legislaturah. V državi Pennsylvaniji je bila registracija inozemcev vzakonje-na in se sedaj tam uveljavlja.
Vprašanje: Naselil sem se v tej deželi leta 1911, oženil se tukaj in vzgojil svoje otroke, zaprosil pa nisem nikoli za ameriško državljanstvo. Končno sem se odločil vložiti naturalizacij-sko prošnjo. Nekdo pa mi je rekel, da federalna sodišča odklanjajo prošnje onih, ki so dolga leta tukaj stanovali. Kaj je res na tem?
Odgovor: Res je, da v nekaterih okrajih sodniki odklanjajo prošnje za naturalizacijo, ako je inozemec stanoval tukaj dolga leta, ne da se bil pobrigal za naturalizacijo. Nekateri sodniki so namreč izrazili mnenje, da taki prosilci vsled dolge zamude ne pokazujejo, da so preveč udani ameriški konstituciji in da bržkone niso dobro gradi-(Dalje na 4. strani)
Mnogi ljudje dandanes primerjajo nemškega kancelarja Hitlerja s francoskim cesarjem Napoleonom, ki je pred dobrim stoletjem podjarmil skoro vso Evropo. Po podatkih v neki ameriški reviji sta si Hitler in Napoleon slična v sledečih ozirih :
Hitler, ki danes vlada veliko Nemčijo, je po rojstvu Avstrijec; Napoleon, ki je postal cesar Francije, ni bil Francoz, ampak je bil rojen na otoku Korsiki. Hitler je sin nižjega carinskega uradnika; Napoleon je bil sin malo pomembnega odvetnika. Hitler je bolj male postave, zavaljen in kredastega obraza; Napoleon je bil majhen, čokat in grd. Hitler nima intimnih prijateljev; Napoleon ni zaupal nikomur v svoji družbi. Hitler je v svojih akcijah nagel, predrzen, brezobziren in ima instinktiven dar za politiko moči ; Napoleon je bil v svojih akcijah hiter, pogumen in nagle orientacije ter je imel instinktiven dar za vojne akcije. Hitler prezira vse vlade, razen svoje; Napoleon je preziral vladarje in ljudstva drugih dežel.
Hitler in Napoleon pa se razlikujeta v mnogih drugih ozirih. Hitler ima le majhno izobrazbo in se ponaša, da se od svojega dvajsetega leta naprej ni ničesar več naučil; Napoleon je bil izobražen, naravho inteligenten ter je mnogo Čit|l in študiral. JJiilfia;aik^.;iavn#fS!ti ničesar pomenil do svojega 40. leta -. Napoleon je bil velika moč v Franciji že s svojim tridesetim letom. Hitler je politični reakcionar vse svoje življenje; Napoleon je bil v svoji mladosti radikalec, toda je postal konservativec, ko je prišel do moči. Hitler je len in zaspan, razen kadar je čustveno razburjen; Napoleon je bil zakrknjeno dinamičen delavec. V žadevah organizacije in administracije je Hitler skoro popolnoma odvisen od drugih; Napoleon je bil ekspert ne samo v vojaških zadevah, ampak tudi v civilni administraciji. Hitler se postavlja kot božje orodje za ustvaritev velike Nemčije; Napoleon je bil egoist, ki je rabil Francijo za dosego svojih ciljev in tega ni nikdar tajil. Hitler je slabovoljen mističen asket, ki se izogiba žensk; Napoleon je bil zdrave in močne narave, je ljubil zabave in tudi ženske.
NASVETI K SEZONI
ODKRITJE AMERIKE
Dne 12. oktobra 1939 bo poteklo 447 let, odkar je bila odkrita Amerika po Krištofu Kolumbu. Veliki pomorščak,’ katerega rodbinsko ime je bilo Colombo, je bil italijanskega po-kolenja, rojen leta 1451 v mestu Genoa. Njegov oče je bil tkalec in tudi sin je nekaj časa sledil očetovemu poklicu. Pozneje je postal pomorščak. Kot tak je v službi Španije in s finančno pomočjo španske kraljeve rodbine mogel opremiti tri male jadrnice, s katerimi je odplul proti za-padu iskat nove poti v Indijo. On ni vedel, da med Evropo in Azijo leži ogromni ameriški kontinent. Po treh mesecih vožnje se je dne 12. oktobra 1492 s svojimi pomorščaki izkrcal na otoku Guanahani, kateremu je Kolumb dal ime San Salvador. Kateri izmed številnih otokov je bil to, danes ni natančno znano, vsekakor je bil nekje v bližini Cube in Haitija, katera otoka je Kolumb kmalu nato odkril.
Zanimivo je, da Kolumb ni nikdar vedel, da je odkril novi kontinent, ampak je bil do svo-(Dalje na 4. strani)
Mesec oktober se v slovenščini imenuje vinotok, kar znači, da se v tem času dela novo vino. Znači tudi, da je Slovenija v velikem delu vinorodna dežela. Tudi slovenski priseljenci v tej deželi cenijo vinsko kapljo. Odkar je ukinjena prihibicija, se naši tukajšnji rojaki ne ukvarjajo več toliko z izdelovanjem vina, toda mnoge družine se še vedno vsako jesen založijo z grozdnim sokom. Za tiste, ki se s tem bavijo, je na mestu par preprostih nasvetov.
Za napravo dobrega vina sta potrebna dva glavna pogoja, namreč zrelo in zdravo grozdje in pravilno ravnanje z grozdnim sokom. Gnilo ali plesnjivo grozdje ne bo dalo dobrega soka in plesnjiv, kisel ali smrdeč sod pokvari najboljše vino. Sod, ki diši po kislini, ki je plesnjiv, ali sod, v katerem se je že kdaj prej skisalo ali pokvarilo vino, ni za rabo. Dandanes je mogoče po nizki ceni kupiti dobre vinske sode; posebno priporočljivi so sodi, v katerih je 'bilo prej žganje.
Kleti naj se v gorkih jesenskih dneh dobro očistijo in prezračijo. Priporočljivo je tudi pobeliti jih z apnom, ker to uniči mnogo glivic plesnobe in gnilobe. Klet dostikrat služi v pozni jeseni in pozimi za nekako delavnico in za shrambo različnih pridelkov in drugih predmetov, torej naj bi bila zdrav in sna-j žen prostor. Kadar v kleti kipi! ali vre novo vino, naj se ista! vsaj nekoliko zrači. Plini, ki iz- i hajajo iz kipečega novega vina,! so strupeni, in marsikdo je že j plačal z življenjem, ko se je brezskrbno podal v zaprto klet, kjer so kipele večje količine novega vina. To si je vredno zapomniti.
Drevesno listje, ki v tem času odpada z drevja, se da imenitno porabiti za napravo komposta ali listne zemlje, ki je velike vrednosti za vrt in trato. V to svrho naj se v kakem vrtnem kotu izkoplje primerno globoko jamo, v katero se nasiplje drevesno listje. Med to listje je dobro namešati nekoliko vrtne zemlje, da hitreje gnije, če je suho, naj se ga zmoči. Ako se na listje poti-osi nekoliko živega apna ,tudi koristi. V letu ali dveh listje zgnije in da najfinejšo listno zemljo za gojitev zelenjave, cvetlic in vrtne trate. Mnogokje vidimo, da z dreves odpadlo listje sežigajo, kar je velika potrata. Tudi če listja ne rabimo za napravo listne zemlje, ga lahko porabimo za zimsko kritje vrtnic ali pa tudi za pokrivanje znane solate endivije, ki pokrita z listjem, v par dneh postane rumena in porab-na za kuhinjo.
Cvetlice-lončarice, ki so tekom leta rastle na prostem, je treba brez odlašanja presaditi v lončke, ako jih nameravamo imeti v hiši čez zimo. Presajene cvetlice naj se dobro zalivajo in postavijo v kakšno zavetje, kjer ni premočnega sonca in kjer jih ne more doseči slana. Na vsak način jih je treba spraviti pod streho \predno začne padati slana.
Gomol jaste cvetlice, kot so dalije ali georgine, kane, gladiole, kaladium in slične, smejo ostati na prostem, dokler jim slana listja ne opari. Gomolje pa je treba izkopati in spraviti v- suho in hladno klet, predno začne zemlja zmrzovati.
Zdaj je čas, da se od trgovin s semeni naroči ali kupi čebulice cvetlic za cvetje v zgodnji po-(Dalje na 4. strani)
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
ZAKASNELI LISTI t Ljubljani listi, ki so izšli zadnje dni avgusta in prve dni septembra ,so bili uredništvu Nove Dobe dostavljeni šele 3. oktobra. Običajno dospejo starokrajski listi v manj ko dveh tednih v Ameriko. Omenjene izdaje listov je pač na en ali drugi način zadržala na poti vojna napetost oziroma pričetek evropske vojne. Kasnejše izdaje listov prihajajo dokaj redno in z malimi zamudami.
DOBRA VINSKA LETINA Dolenjska.se letos ponaša z dobro vinsko letino. Pridelek je obilen ,tako na tej strani Gorjancev kot v Beli Krajini, in grozdje se je pri ugodnem vremenu lepo razvilo in dozorelo. Vino bo dobro kot že ni bilo od leta 1928.
IZ SAVINJSKE DOLINE Glavni pridelek lepe Savinjske doline je hmelj, ki spada med najboljše v Evropi. Hmelj je letos povoljno obrodil, toda povpraševanje po istem so za nekaj časa skoro popolnoma ustavili mednarodni dogodki. Zadnje čase se je kupčija s hmeljem vendar pričela spet nekoliko razvijati. Povprečna cena za kilogram je 38 dinarjev.
NAVIJANJE CEN
V začetku evropske vojne so tudi po nekaterih krajih Jugoslavije začeli ljudje grmaditi živila in brezvestni trgovci so pričeli navijati cene. Mestne uprave v Zagrebu, Splitu, Šibeniku in drugod so opozorile prebivalstvo, da je vseh važnih živil v Jugoslaviji dovolj in da ni nobenega vzroka za odvečno nakupovanje ali za navijanje cen. Nekateri izkoriščevalci so bili ovadeni sodišču.

POŽARNA NESREČA
V Nevljah pri Kamniku je v nedavni noči pogorelo gospodarsko poslopje posestnika Milana Kirna. Poleg velike škode, ki jo je požar prizadejal gospodarju, je družino zadela še hujša nesreča. štirinajstletnega domačega sina so hudo opečenega ko-. maj rešili iz požara. Pozneje je nesrečni deček v bolnišnici podlegel opeklinam.
IZ ŽENSKE MOŠKI
V	Beogradu se je nedavno preobrazila iz ženske v moškega strojepiska in pisateljica podlistkov v beograjskih in pokrajinskih listih, gospodična Ada Lelasova-Veseličeva. Deklica že od mladega ni bila popolnoma pravilno razvita, pa so zdravniki sodili, da se bo tisto samo uredilo z nastopom puber-titete. To se ni zgodilo in po dolgem odlašanju se je gospodična odločila za operacijo. Operacija je bila uspešna in Ada je odšla iz klinike kot Adam v moški obleki. Slični primeri so sicer redki, vendar se od časa do časa pojavljajo tu in tam.
ILIRSKA GROBIŠČA Nedavno so začeli izkopavati temelje za novo cesto iz Kranja v Naklo. Pod Prešernovo kavarno so odkrili ilirsko grobišče ter več žar in okraskov. V tej okolici so že pred leti našli grobišča Ilirov, katerih naselbina je I bila v tistem kraju nekako v sedmem stoletju pred Kristom. Muzejsko društvo v Ljubljani je poslalo eksperta, da vodi izkopavanje.

VSAK P0SV0JE
Svet postaja z vsakim dnem večja zagonetka. Ruska vlada je baje vzela v najem švedske tovorne ladje, da bo mogla še nadalje zalagati Anglijo z raznim blagom. In Anglija je v vojni z Nemčijo, s katero je Rusija v prijateljski zvezi. Mussolini, ki je zadnja leta na vsa usta kričal za vojno, zdaj na vse kraje moleduje za mir. Bolgarski kralj se skuša prikupiti ruskemu diktatorju Stalinu s tem, da mu je poslal zavoj najboljših balkanskih cigaret. In jutri bomo morda čitali, da je jugoslovanski regent Pavle poslal Stalinu zelenko najboljše srbske slivovke, obenem z rešto pravih kranjskih klobas. Vse je mogoče.

Zveza ameriških izdelovalcev raznih lepotil pričakuje, da bodo ameriške ženske v tem letu potrošile 200 milijonov dolarjev za razne praške, barvila, parfume, mazila in druga lepo-tična sredstva. Tisti denar bo čisto proč vržen. Iz grde ženske* ne more napraviti lepotice niti za 200 milijonov dolarjev lepotil ; po naravi lepa ženska pa ne potrebuje lepotičenja.

Včasih so žganje starali v lesenih sodih po več let, da je postalo mehko in okusno. Dandanes pa baje starajo žganje s tem, da ga izpostavijo ostrim zvokom, če je res, kar pravijo, se pri tem glasbenem trušču mlado žganje v sedmih urah bolj postara kot v štirih letih počivanja v sodih. Iz tega bi se da-
lo	sklepati, da se žganje najhitreje postara v salunih, kjer pijanci najbolj zadirčno prepevajo. Z žganjem vred pa se morda postarajo tudi salunarji in bartender ji.

Se rikoli v svojem življenju ni bil | Bregai jev Nacek iz Binklja tako srečen j kakor v letošnjem poletju; izpolnila se mu je aarnreč vroča želja: videl je mor- j je!	'
Se V3Č, prebival je ob njem skoraj dva m iseca, kopal se v njegovih valovih, sončil se na njegovih bregovih in se vozil pi njem z ladjo.
Takrat, ko se je odločevalo, kdo vse bo med tistimi izbranci ,ki pojdejo s počitniško kolonijo k morju, Nacek od ski bi i l pričakovanja ni mogel ne jesti, ne spali.
Ko pa je med imeni svojih šolskih to-varišev zaslišal tudi svoje ime, je od i veselja kar zavriskal.
Kaj pa mislite — morje! To se ne j vidi vsak dan in za Nacka je pomenilo j to največje doživetje.
V prekrasnem poletnem jutru so se I odpeljali kolonisti proti jugu — v son- ! čno D; lmacijo.
Živi j jnje, ki se je pričelo tam, je bilo Nacku povsem novo, tako vabljivo, da bi [ Nacek dal ne vem kaj, če bi mogel za j zmeraj ostati ob morju.
Vsaj tako je menil prve dni, ko se mu še ni bilo oglasilo v srcu — domotožje.
Pa tudi ni bilo časa misliti na to, za- ; kaj dečki, zbrani iz vseh krajev Slove- i nije, r.o bili sleherni dan zaposleni z najrazličnejšimi igrami, s kopanjem, z; izleti po morju in peš po bližnji okolici.
Zvečer so utrujeni, toda polni zdravja j' in novih načrtov za naslednji dan, po- |' spali po ležiščih kakor bi snope pome-tal.
Nacek pa neke noči kar ni mogel za- j spati. Dolgo se je premetaval po poste- j1 lji, zdaj na levo, zdaj na desno, p* spet' vznak, z rokami pod glavo.
Po hrbtu ga je žgalo kakor z žerjavi- j co, zato Nacku ni bilo treba dosti pre-miši j-: vati odkod nespečnost, temveč je j takoj uganil, da mu je včeraj vroče I dalmatinsko sonce pritisnilo svoj pe-čat.
Pa ne samo Nacek, tudi njegovi tova- j riši so se nemirno premikali po poste- ; ljah, ker je sonce bržkone tudi nje
ožgalo.
Vendar so slednjič drug za drugim j pospali, le Nacek ni mogel.
• K telesni bolečini se je pridružila še j
— duševna. Nacka je namreč na vsem lepim zgrabilo silno domotožje.
Globoko je vzdihnil in solze so mu na- j polnile oči, ko je mislil na očko, na ma- j m! o, ki bi mu doma gotovo olajšala pekočo bolečino na hrbtu s kakšnim zdravilom, ali vsaj s tolažilno besedo.
Tu pa ni nikogar.
Gospod učitelj, ki nadzoruje kolonijo, je bil že zaspal, učiteljici, ki gospodinjita, pa tudi je počivata v svoji sobi.
Nacek se je dvignil, zlezel iz postelje in si nataknil hlače dokolenke.
Potihem se je splazil k oknu, skozi katerega je padal pramen mesečine v sabo.
Okno je bilo samo priprto; Nacek ga j': odpahnil na stežaj in pred njegovimi ečml se je razgrnila prelepa mesečna roč. Nacek je strmel kakor očaran.
Temna gladina inorja se je lesketala vsa v zlatu in srebru, v daljavi so žarele i luči malega pristaniškega mesta na otoku in le rahlo pljuskanje in šumenje valov je motilo to nebeško lepo tišino.
A tam — kaj je tam?
Nedaleč od kolonije, ob levi obali leži nekaj belega. Kaj neki je to, ladja ali
— morski strah?
Nacek se je nasmehnil, ker na to zadnje sploh ni verjel, čeprav šele desetleten, je bil pameten, prebrisan in korajžen dečko.
Na mah se je odločil, da bo šel pogledat. Toda kako?
Okno je nekoliko previsoko, čeprav je spalnica v pritličju, vrata pa so zaklenjena.
Nacek ni dolgo premišljeval. Po prstih je stopil nazaj k postelji, potegnil z nje rjuho, šel in jo privezal za železno rešetko na oknu.
Nato je zlezel skozi okno in se po rjuhi spustil na tla,.
Lahen nočni hlad, ki je objel Nacka, ga je poživil, da je z urnimi koraki stopal po obrežni poti mimo hiš in ribiških koč. še nekaj streljajev dalje p* je stala samotna visoka hiša, podobna gradiču. In tam je Nacek obstal, zakaj nasproti te hiše je bila zasidrana v morju popolnoma bela ladjica — bela jahta, čudo, ki ga je Nacek opazoval z okna.
V hiši je bila luč, drugače pa je bilo VRe tiho, nobenega glasu od nikoder in ne žive duše nikjer.
čudna želja, da bi nekaj doživel, je prevzela Nacka. Oziral se je naokrog in zagledal majhen mostiček?držeč naravnost na belo ladjico.
Nacek je brez obotavljanja stopil na mostiček, ga prekoračil in že se je znašel na krovu bele ladjice.
Tik11 tu ie bilo vse tiho, nikogar nikjer, Nacek se je skoraj zbal in če bi na lauji ne bilo svetlo kakor po dnevi, bi ga : bila gotovo minila vsa gorenjska ko-, rajža. Tako pa je Nacek hodil nekaj časa okrog po krovu in občudoval ličnost, s katero je bila zgrajena ladjica.
Tedajci je zaslišal glasove. Prihajali so od gosposke hiše na obali in se bli- 1 žali ladji.
Deček se je prihulil in se skril za nastavek, ki še je dvigal sredi krova. Od tam je opazoval več ljudi, ki so se bližali ladji. Med njimi je, bila ženska, ki je peljala za roko majhnega dečka, približno takega kakor je bil Nacek.
'Pred ladjo so obstali in Nacku se je . zdelo, da se poslavljajo. Zenska, očivid-no dečkova mati, je dečka objela in poljubila. Nato ga je velik, močan gospod,

had a hard time to get an education, he had the good fortune to be aided in the development of his musical talents for when his ability wa$ discovered Haydn's father arranged that at all costs the infant prodigy should be trained in the proper way. The boy developed a good voice and was sent to sing in the choir of the Vienna cathedral. Now it happened that while
najbrže njegov oče, dvignil v naročje in ga odnesel čez mostiček na krov. Tudi drugi moški, dva ali trije, so odšli na krov.
Nacek je bil ves trd od — strahu; pred očmi so mu zalebdele zgodbe o morskih roparjih, ki jih je bral ali slišal od tovarišev. Bridko se je pokesal, zakaj je odšel iz varne kolonije na to nevarno pot. Tako je bil ves iz sebe, da se še ganil ni, ko so zarožljale verige in se je dvignil mostiček. Takoj nato je zabrnel motor in bela jahta se je odmaknila od brega.
Zdaj je Nacek planil iz svojega skrv vališča in zajokal. Začudeno je obstal pred stasitim gospodom z močnimi brki.
"šta tražiš ti ovdje?” ga je tudi začudeno, pa vendar ljubeznivo ogovoril gospod. Bil je bogataš nekje iz Srbije in lastnik bele jahte.
Nacek ni mogel odgovoriti, samo ihtel je, a končno zajecljal:
"Vi-vi ste mo-morski ropar, kajne?" Gospod je menda takoj razumel bojazen dečkovo, široko, prisrčno se je zasmejal, potrepljal Nacka po rami in dejal:
‘ Ne boj se, dečko, nič žalega se ti ne bo zgodilo. Toda, povej, kako in zakaj si prišel sem, na mojo ladjo? Pojdi, greva v kabino, tam je moj sin, dečko, kakor si ti.”
Prijel je Nacka za roko in odšla sta po stopnicah v kabino.
Lepše sobe Nacek še ni videl. Na postelji ob steni je ležal oblečen bled, črnolas deček, ki je seveda presenečeno pozdravil prišleca.
Gospod je posadil Nacka v mehki naslonjač in Nacek je moral povedati vso svojo dogodivščino.
“A tako. iz Slovenije si?” se je pozanimal gospod, ko je Nacek končal s pripovedovanjem. “Vidiš, midva s sinkom ! pa greva tja, v Slovenijo. Pravijo, da je tam zdrav gorski zrak. Tega potrebuje moj deček, ker ni čisto pri zdravju. Peljemo se proti Splitu, od tam pa z vlakom naravnost v Slovenijo.”
‘‘Pa zakaj ponoči?” je vprašal Nacek.
“Da pravočasno dobiva vlak, ki odha-I ja zelo zgodaj iz Splita. Veš, dečko, bolj-! še se je voziti v jutranjih urah, ko še ni take vročine. — Kaj bo pa zdaj s teboj, dečko? Velike skrbi si napravil pred-I stojnikom tam v koloniji na otoku.”
Nacek se je zamislil in ni odgovoril.
‘ Pa se pelji z nama, domov,” se je oglasil sinček gospoda iz Srbije.
‘‘Saj res! Ali smem, gospod?” se je navdušil Nacek in domotožje, ki ga je ; bil Čudni dogodek na ladji potisnil na stran, se je spet oglasilo v njem.
“Dobro, pa pojdi," je odločil gospod. ! “Samo iz Splita moramo obvestiti pred-stojništvo kolonije, da ne bodo v skrbeh i zate.”
In tako se je tudi zgodilo. Na lepem, ; v največje začudenje staršev, se je Nacek pripeljal domov, v Binkelj.
Tam v bližini sta se nastanila tudi (bogati gospod iz Srbije in njegov bolehni sin.
Temu je postal Nacek najboljši prijatelj. Razkazoval mu je lepote in posebnosti svoje ožje domovine, za katero | je bil deček ves navdušen. Čisti gorenjski zrak mu je tako ugajal, da se mu je zdravje vidno boljšalo.
Za prihodnje poletje je povabil Nac-, ka na počitnice v Srbijo in potem — k morju. Tam da se bosta vozila z belo jahto, ki jo je papa je podaril njemu.
Nacek je povabilo seveda z veseljem , sprejel.
“Samo nekaj bi te še prosil,” je dejal Nacek zamišljeno. “Tam. na otoku, sem se spoznal z dečkom domačinom. Je najinih let in tudi moj prijatelj. Ali se bo on ti)di smel voziti?”
“To še Vprašaš?" je vzkliknil srbski deček.
“Seveda, brez nadaljnjega! Bela jahta bo last. nas vseh treh. Saj veš, kako pravi pesem: Slovenec, Srb, Hrvat — na veke brat i brat!”
(“Zvonček.")

OCTOBER
When the earth is growing sober And puts on her robe of brown— Richly trimmed with red and yellow, Such is her reception gown—
We are glad to greet October Where we meet, in field or town;
It would be a surly fellow	(
Who would turn aside and frown.
If we welcomed June for flowers And her violet-scented breeze, Welcomed all the hours of pleasure To be spent beneath the trees;
How October's golden bowers Should, with harvest melodies And the whole year's gathered treasure, Wake our gladdest ecstacies.
Come, you children, earth is calling ' To the feast October spreads!
’ Every street and lane will lead you To her table decked with reds.
' While the purple grapes are falling Where the apples lie in beds,
' For your merry laugh she'll need you,
1 Weaving chaplets for your heads.
Blue the sky will be above you Till the sunset crimson glows,
Rarely sullen days or dreary Bright and fair October knows.
Come and bring the hearts that love you Day by day the feasting goes—
Here’s enough till all are weary—
Take the harvest where it grows.
Come, each child, each little reaper;
Nature planted, love has long Tended vine and fruit tree, hoping That your lips may ring with song— Song that praises—that no weeper, Crowded by the very strong In the press where all are coping,
May be found amidst the throng.

The Father of Modern Music
Haydn has been called the Father of Modern Music because it was he who set the standard of such forms of music as the sonota, the symphony, the string quartette and other similar forms, and his work is the basis which is today used as a model to be followed by all musicians. His parents were very poor Austrian peasants and though he
he was singing in the choir young Haydn had sought to amuse himself by clipping the pigtail, which was then the fashion, from the head of the boy next to him. The choirmaster, who was much displeased with this prank, took the first opportunity to dismiss the boy from the choir, and Haydn was left to provide for himself in any way that he could. Many were the hardships that he endured. He played the violin at dances and on the street, and he became a great singing teacher’s servant, but his spirit did not sink nor did his courage fail. During the time of his greatest hardships he was per-i fecting himself in composition. One day, when the sky was darkest a set of sonotas which he had written came to the notice of a wealthy countess ; and she helped him to procure many pupils. After that his life was comparatively easy.
In 1760 Haydn married and the following year he entered the service of the Esterhazy's, one of the richest ' families in Austria, in whose house-held he held the position of bandmaster, for in those days rich people had then- private bands. While he lived in style in the household of a rich man, Haydn continued to compose music. This life continued for nearly thirty years and the Esterhazy band separated and Haydn journeyed to London. While there he wrote, among other things, the Austrian National Hymn which most of us know as a church hymn. His symphonies number about one hundred and fifty, | and they are all marked by grace and beauty of composition. It was during a performance of his famous oratorio "The Creation” that Haydn cried out ; “Not I but a power from above created that.” The excitement proved to be toe much for the old man and that appearance was his last public one. As he waf ' being led from the hall they passed 1 Beethoven, who happened to be there and he bent down and fervently kissee ! Haydn's hands and forehead—his lasl I act of homage to a great master.

Little Harry Davis, twelve years old, stood day after day at the water’s edge of a large lake away up in the Canadian wilds, watching the coming and going of the Indians’ canoes. Sometimes, these carried a whole family on board, the squaw in the bow and the “buck” in the stern, both paddling, and even the children hung over the gunwales wielding little paddles.
In the summer such a floating family could be seen at almost any hour, either coming from or returning to the Indian
camp on the other side of the lake, or | moving here and there in search of good fishing ground, and Harry followed them with wistful eyes for he was lonely, as their camp was the only white man’s camp in that neighborhood.
Harry wanted to cross to the Indian camp, partly in order to see what might be seen but chiefly to get a nearer view of the boys and girls there of his own age. At last, after this wish had been i many times denied, he was allowed one morning to cross in the care of Trappo, a trustworthy half breed.
As they paddled along the shore for some distance they saw several caribou start up and plunge into the bush, but this was no novelty to Harry, the near woods being full of wild animals of various kinds, some of which were occasionally even seen to swim from point to point on the winding lake.
But the boy became intensely interested and quite excited when, near the end of their course, they saw a moose swimming from an island to the mainland and the Indians rushing out from their encampment, leaping into their canoes and giving chase.
The clumsy beast could not swim as fast as the Indians could paddle and
was overtaken before it could land anc plunge into the forest. The red mer (their color in these northern latitude: is rather of a pale brown), paddled up in some half dozen canoes, near enougl to throw a lasso over the animal's wide^ branching horns and, as soon as i reached shallow water ,they begai striking it stunning blows with clubs This required great caution, for then was danger for both man and frai canoe in the sweeping horns.
The moose staggered ashore at last
and .while held by ropes from both sides, was beaten to earth with clubs so that not one bullet might be wasted. By this time the whole encampment had come running and shouting, and the prize was very quickly skinned and cut up.
In the village Harry noticed one skin tent of neatly dressed hides and a couple | of birch-bark wigwams, but most of the I tents of this temporary and movable ; summer camp were of the ordinary-white tent-cloth secured from the trading posts in exchange for furs. The i white boy knew that in winter these 1 were banked around with snow and were thus made as warm as a log-and-! mortar cabin. The flaps of all the tents were now tied back, revealing carpets of hemlock brush, bundles of rabbit-skin blankets, and now and then an old squaw. The young women and girls moved about the fires fetching water and cooking the flesh of the slain moose. The few men about rested indolently after the chase, smoking pipes.
A returning party with fish threw the rejected ones to the lean dogs, which fought over them and devoured them raw. There were also cat& in the camp, these in all cases being tied by strings about the neck to tent stake or tree. None of this was very new or strange to Harry and he gave almost his whole attention to some half dozen Indian boys that were playing about, shouting, wrestling or teasing the dogs.
While the dinner, chiefly composed of moose steak, was eaten, Harry made the acquaintance of one of these boys who confessed to the name of Brave Wolf. Brave Wolf’s only garment was a rab-bit-skin jacket, which too often hung open at the front, but was now fastened with a sharp wood pin, leaving his chest and legs still exposed. He had a pleasing, even handsome face—for an Indian boy—and he smiled at the young white guest in a very friendly manner.
“Get a rifle and let’s go on a hunt,” whispered Harry, when they could eat no more, and Brave Wolf smiled and nodded quick assent.
And so, while Tappo, Harry’s guardian, was smoking sleepily with his Indian friends, the two boys stole away and were soon out of sight in the wild woods, following a dim winding trail through dense thickets and beneath towering trees.
They tramped nearly two hours without seeing any game, and, returning to the neighborhood of the camp disappointed, sat down wearily to talk. But they now found little to say to each other, for Harry had eaten heavily of the moose steak, and, as he rested, became very drowsy, soon falling asleep. The Indian boy then rose, grasping his rifle, and strolled down to a cold running stream some distance away to slake his thirst, leaving the unconscious Harry alone.
As Brave Wolf strolled slowly back, looking keenly about him with the usual alertness of a native of the wilds, he halted abruptly with dilating eyes.
Not twenty feet from the sleeping boy crouched a long lank animal of a tawny hue, its twitching tail ’uplifted and its small flat head lowered. Inch by inch it drew nearer the helpless prey upon which its eyes were fastened with a devouring stare.
Brave Wolf trembled but did not hesitate.
Awakened by the crack of the rifle, Harry started up in time to see the panther leap into the air with a horrid snarl and come down within a few feet of him—lifeless.
Then the exulting Indian boy shout-■ ed long and loudly, and practically the1

IMPRESSIONS OF A DELEGATE
By Anne Prosen
(Continuation)
No, wait, Justine Korent is missing and on second glance, isn’t she over yonder? dear diary, here is another writer you should get to meet: she is tops in everything ... we better leave the Ely delegates and meet these eager looking delegates from other parts of Minnesota. This state certainly has its representatives. Soudan, Minnesota, sent us lovely Ir(ene Pavlich, who is very much interested in the activities of the juveniles ... lookee, dear diary, whom I found, Anna Laurich, of Eveleth, Minn., whose smile has captivated the hearts of all her juvenile colleagues ... Chisholm has qualified two delegates; I want you to meet them both; Thomas Racchini is quite a business man, you said it, he not only qualified as the result of his hard work, but he is also ready and eager for the session to get under way; Frank Ambrozich, his companion from the same .city, is also stirred up about the convention, wait till he gets home, he’ll have so much to tell his friends about his adventures with the delegates from his state and others ... sweet Carolyn Kern is here from Hibbing; her charm has won her many friends among the juveniles too; another charming young lady is Margaret Bradach from Aurora; Margaret says she enjoyed the trip very much and hopes she can attend more of these swell conventions... Dolores Muhvich represents Gilbert, dear diary, and is she lovely to look at; take it from me...1 say, here’s another delegate from Chisholm, how could I overlook the darling and very popular Dor-othey Kochevar, forgive me if you will, dear diary ... what; another slip-up, that’s right, there is still one more girl from Chisholm, golden haired Goldie Miklaich. who, like Dorothy, thought she was very fortunate to be here. Hm. Any more from Minnesota. Guess not, so we will have to say adios amicos from Minnesota, my dear diary wants to meet some of the westerners.
So to the west I take my dear diary I to meet the delegates, say, we have i enough time to meet them all, I think.
Come on, diary, hurry or we won’t ! have time to meet them all, maybe we’ll never get these juveniles together again | this convention. I want you to meet the ; delegates from the state of Colorado j first. Here we have Mary Ambrozich of , Denver, and is she a honey, or is she,
| my, they have, pretty girls out west...
| who is her pal. from the same city, well,
! if it isn’t Helen Okoren, diary, did you ! notice what big, lovely eyes she has, I ! guess lots of the girls here envy Helen, j honest I think they do ... here are two | boys from Denver too, Louis Shray and ! William Mausar, are they ready, willing and able to start things going, believe i you me. they have done some splendid work during the campaign, now they want to help make this session a great great big success ... Trinidad, Colo., is represented by manly Jacob Prunk, h€ looks like a promising business man; who knows, dear diary, some day he might be here in Mr. Zbasnik's place directing some juvenile convention .. here is a very bashful girl, dear diary sh, sh, we might frighten her; Clan Frlan, what in the world did you cal that city you came from, don’t ask jim to repeat it, it is some tongue twister Bon Carbo. what in the world does tha’ mean? ... oh, you horrid diary, she almost told me what it meant... Jennie. Logar, of Ludlow', wants things to get; going, she is getting tired of waiting ; since there is so much to be done, just | a few minutes now, yes, a matter of a j few minutes and the convention will; start. Say, diary, we better leave Colo- ■
You read the papers daily. You are reading books, magazines and all other j material, but down deep in your heart i you will always know that the meaning i of the one little word “W^R.” never pays.
In conclusion I hope that we will have more articles next month, so, we could,
' if possible fill up two pages of the Nova ; Doba and not only a half of a page.

\ Editor’s Note
e Juvenile contributors are requested to % submit complete stories of their chosen
- subject in one envelope, and not in in-
- stallments from month to month. Too % often the successive installments are e meaningless because the reader has had e one month in which to forget the intro-y ductory background. With an abundance
- of juvenile contributions published in •. recent months, there has been a short-e age of space, and if a story carried in in-3 stallments has to be left out in subse-n quent editions ,it will mean that the t readers will have that much more time
- in which to forget the plot and the char-g acters. Juveniles should not mail their y stories to the Nova Doba until they are ’t complete, for it is the best policy to
- avoid installments in our juvenile section. While there have been but a few
d juveniles who in the past have submit-u ted stories on the installment plan, it is u best to notify all juvenile contributors te of the facts so that future contribu-s. tions on the installment plan may ba t. discouraged.	i
! rado and meet some of the other westerners before it’s too late.
Here he is, diary, the delegate who traveled the longest distance, Frank Jovanovich, all the way from the Paci-! fie coast, the state of Washington. Boy, how I’m going to chat with that boy when he takes his mind off this convention and answers my questions. Until then we will have to keep on meeting more delegates... let’s go to East Helena, Montana, I mean, let’s meet a friend from that city, Louis Smith, who thinks that train ride was perfect; he almost hates to return to his ! city, because he says that he is enjoy-! ing himself immensely ... Roundup, Montana, rounded up the prettiest girls in the state and sent them to us in the i persons of Rose Banovetz, and that ! giggling gal of the mountains, Rose : Stimac, some pretty girls they have way out there, so sweet, charming, pleasant ... Butte, Montana, sent us some | lovely girls too. Mai'y Petritz has all j the charm and loveliness anyone could possess... Dorothy Ponach, Dorothy : Predovich, and Irene Spehar, are also : blessed with beauty and poise, and yes,
! dear diary, .these girls used all their personality to help them become delegates.
' Let’s leave Montana now and visit ; Elsie Strauss of Rock Springs, Wyo.
! Elsie made up her mind to be here i from the wilds of Wyo., and believe it or not, maybe she is here in person, i the sole representative from that state.
Angeline Yakopich comes from Helper, Utah. Before the convention was well on its way she was a great HELPER in making it a huge success.
From Omaha, Nebraska, comes that go-getter, Charles Brodarich. When he made up his mind to get enough members to qualify as delegate he got them ! that’s why, dear diary, he is here today | showing us what these western he-men | are.
I, I, I, no diary, I am not stuttering,
! I’m just checking my memory to see j what states we have seen delegates : from. And I calmly came across the ! letter I, which means we must meet the delegates from Illinois and Indiana.
I First, let us see a smiling young lad; he isn’t shy one bit and is he a sport,
! dear diary, you should have seen how I much fun we had with him, who? Oh,
I did I forget to tell you about Joseph ! Banich of Indianapolis, Indiana... II-
■ linois sent us two fine young gentlemen in the persons of Albert Adamich, of Joliet, II!.. and Joseph Oblak from the windy city, Chicago. A1 realizes the importance of these conventions, therefore he is honored to be here and we
| in turn are honored to have him. What ! Joe says, it's so terribly windy in Chi-! cago, that he is glad to get away from {it all and get to Minnesota where it is quiet.
j Where’s Kay Besnar, yohoo Kay, 'where are you? Oh, there she is, I knew she was here, Little Stan told us so, he says she is from Calumet, Mich., and that she is the first delegate he . met this year. Say, Michigan has pretty girls, too.
Let’s visit some one from Wisconsin now. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sent us Eleanor Lange. She joined us on the | train late at night and we got acquainted with her there. She likes to be here
■ and knows she will have a wonderlul time.
Ohio sends us only two delegates. Elsie Desmond is from Cleveland and Frank Tanko comes from a hundred i per cent SSCU family which resides al-I so in Cleveland, but belongs to a lodge j in Euclid, Ohio. (Editor’s note: Elsie ; Desmond, a regular contributor to the Nova Doba, is writing her impressions j of the convention and the delegates.)
Come on, diary, step on the gas, here I comes Mr. Zbasnik and that means : business. Maybe we can meet the dele-; gates from Pennsylvania if we hurry, i Let’s see the sweetheart and the Shirley Temple of the convention is Jac-; queline Schimmel, who is representing Meadowlands, Pa. Her smile won her I the heart of every delegate, juvenile | and adult. Pittsburgh is well represented and what personalities! Who could excel Francis Arch and Robert Jurgel in sportsmanship and fun. They seem I to have a funny slant for everything. They certainly are the life of this party. Now don’t get me wrong, they have leadership, ability too, and are eager to practice it at this convention... Center gave us Hugh Kovarick, another great comedian and business man ... Louis Omer hailed from Conemaugh and what a fine representative he is. 'Another charming delegate is Frances Prah of Uniontown, her charm Is a fine mark of her character ... She likes to travel and is loads of fun ... Theresa Macek is another little darling, who won the hearts of the delegates, she comes from Moon Run, and it seems some of that Moon Run into the twinkle of her eyes... Louis Kusnik and Victor Scarton are from Export, yes, diary, all that way they came to show us what fine lads they have in that city there. I know my grammar is bad, but how else can I tell you that those boys are swell all around. Dear, oh dear, the convention will start in a few seconds now and I do want you to meet that sister scribe, that sweetheart of Stra-bane, the one and only Veronica Barbie. She too is cute and how cute! Her manner is so charming she won everyone’s favor one hundred percent.
Guess that just about accounts for everyone attending this great convention. So we better kee^ quiet and settle down for a great session. Bet it’s going to be a lot of fun watching this session. And there seems to be quite a gathering here, there are the adult delegates on hand to give attention to these young delegates. They certainly showed en-(Continued on page 6)
many more football games, I think we can all look forward to having some more exciting times. We are having the next game with Mt. Iron and this time we are going to win. I hope to tell you all about it.

DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES: •
School has been going on for three weeks now. I’ve joined two clubs this year in school, a Journalism club which meets on Mondays and the G. A. A. (Girls Athletic Association) which meets on Friday. Everyone in the high school must belong to at least one club. There was a long list of clubs to choose from, Glee Clubs, Writing Clubs, Chefs Clubs, Radio Club, etc.
Choir practice has started again and also ‘scout meetings. We have a new scout teacher. Her name is Miss Gret-chen Webber. She is young and pretty and we girls all like her. Recently she gave a talk to the mothers of the Washington School P.T.A. on girl scouting. It was very instructive as she explained every little detail of scouting very thoroughly. She is a marvelous talker. I’m certain that I will enjoy scouting this year.
My school chum, Angela Vertnik, has started to take clarinet lessons. She says she likes to play the clarinet very much. At the next conventions you might see Angela playing in the school band. I introduced Angela to many of the delegates. We had a swell time during the convention, didri’t we, Angela.
Elsie Desmond, I want to thank you for the lovely write-up about me. Your articles on the convention are wonder-•ful. Many parts of your articles bring back delightful memories of tAe convention to me. Keep it up Elsie.
Anne Prosen, I also want to congratulate you on your splendid articles.
I always read everything written by you in the Nova Doba. I hope some day, Miss Prosen, to’ be as good a reporter as you.
Amelia Korošec, a delegate to the 3rd Juvenile oenvention, was the guest ol the Thursday Evening Musical Club which held its first meeting of the season on Sept. 21st. She sang severai Slovene folk songs. She has a lovely voice. Amelia and I have our pianc lessons on the same day.
Joseph Mantel Jr., son of the first supreme vice president of the SSCU, j and Miss Kathryn Loushin of Chisholm ! were married on September 23rd. John Golobich, my cousin, was best man.
My cousin, Lieutenant Lawrence Golobich and his wife surprised Lawrence’s parents by coming (home) here on a visit. They came with Lawrence’s new I car. They visited in Ely for several days. They also spent some time with his wife’s parents at Soudan, Minn.
My two aunts, Mrs. John Golobich and Mrs. Joseph Grahek, went to Duluth Sept. 26th where they both underwent an operation at St. Mary’s Hospital the following day. It is rather unusual for the two sisters to be operated in one morning. I wish them both a speedy recovery.
On Sunday, September 24th, the regular meeting of the Minnesota SNPJ Federation was held at Chisholm, Minn, in the Recreation Building there. My mother was a representative for her lodge. On the same day, in the same town, and in the same building, the Minnesota SSCU Federation also held its meeting.
I’ve just found out that Margaret Mlakar works at the SSCU office. I’m very glad that she has the job and I hope, Miss Mlakar, that you will continue your work there for a long time.
I’m submitting the following poem which I have composed.
SIGNS OF AUTUMN Autumn leaves are falling down Making the woodlands yellow, scarlet and brown.
Empty nests are swinging Where once the singing Of the birds was heard.
The harvests are being gathered, Everything is colored brown.
The trees in the orchards	x
I With fruit are bending down.
! Squirrels are scattering all about, i The air is crisp and clear | Chestnut burrs are everywhere, i Now that autumn is here.
i I will submit another poem next i month.

DEAR EDITOR:
I wish to express my thanks for the dollar award extended to me for my last article. The money certainly came in handy for school is on again. On October 30th wc are going to have a Hallowe’en party with masquerade costumes as features.
Imagine my surprise when my father told the family to come down into the cellar one morning. A little bird made its presence. How? We do not know, for all the windows were closed. Evidently he came through the chimney. My father opened the windows, so the bird could fly out, and waiting for the bird outside was a cat.
This month a Friday falls on the thirteenth. Some people think this an ill omen. Here is a story for the readers: James is Superstitious.
James was a boy of 12. Very superstitious, you can imagine how he felt on Friday, the thirteenth. This made him very nervous, and while he went into the bathroom his elbow broke a mirror. This meant seven years of bad luck for him. That evening, there were 13 plates prepared for the supper, tc accommodate outside visitors. All went well until James spilled the salt. He for-; got to throw it over his left shoulder
Some more bad luck. His mother told] him to sit in the front room and rest j before playing ball. Other things happened to make James nervous, such as a picture falling off the wall. All these signs indicated bad luck. That evening a big letter came for James from his uncle. Thinking that it might be some more bad luck, imagine James’ happiness in finding out he was to receive a $300.00 check frpm his uncle. He could now buy a bicycle. No longer did James believe in superstitions, for all he got j out of them were worries.

DEAR EDITOR:
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Once again it’s Fall and the time of the year when lusty voices ring out heartily through the crisp, autumn air, cheering their teams on to victory. Yes, j I mean in that grand and vigorous j game of football. Capacity-filled grand-j stands, flying pennants, present a pan-| orama of color wherever a game of football is being played. The players don’t j seem to mind the clashes with the dusty grounds when they are trying to make a touchdown for their Alma Mater.
Once again, too, Fall is the time of the year when Hallowe’en makes its welcome bow on the stage of time. Masquerade parties await anxiously the moment when they are to unmask and reveal to others who they really are. Gay-faced jack-o-lanterns twinkle at windows throughout the evenings. Fence-gates seem to become mysteriously unhitched while peals of youngsters’ laughter die away with the retreating mischief makers. Windows, which were once spotless, are now | mercilessly “soaped,” causing annoy-; ance to their owners and pleasure to ! the funsters. All these are characteristic of Hallowe’en and its celebration.
Then again, too, this is the time of ! the year when Nature is at its peak of I beauty. Scattering leaves of many hues fall from trees, creating a natural car-! pet over which many enjoy walking or ! running. The woods at this time excel in beauty of color. Once-green trees are now magically changing to reddish brown, yellow and many other pretty colors.
In concluding this article, I am submitting an original poem for publication.
HERE IN MY CHAIR I like very much To sit in my chair,
Away from the touch _■
Of worry and care.
Gaze through the windows At people scurrying by.
There goes a lady,
So little and old N’ so far as I can see She’s timid, not bold.
The shawl ’round her head Is some sort of red;
The parasol she carries Thumps ’gainst her knees.
Her face seems to shine As she scurrys along.
You’d think something very fine Just mended some wrong.
Soon she becomes A thing of the past,
’Cause here comes a lad And he seems very fast.
His tie is a-flying Along in the breeze,
’N you can see he’s trying,
A little dog, to tease.
A yell, then a scream As they race down the street,
The dog yelping loudly At all whom they meet.
Then round the corner They soon disappear Where to, you don’t know.
But here come some schoolgirls And I might say,
They’re telling each other The tales of the day.
So, all through the day The people go ’long
While I sit----------

DEAR EDITOR:
It is a long, time since I last contri-j buted a letter to the Nova Doba, and i it is about time for me to write. I never miss reading the letters written by the juveniles.	i
I always like to read Elsie D., Anne P., Bob J., and Florence Dorothy S., let-j ters first because they are so interest-| ing. I wonder where Elsie gets all her words she uses. Before I end my letter I will submit a story that I' made up.
: REVENGE IS SWEET—SOMETIMES Feeling sort of happy, one night, Mae | decided to go to sleep before brother i Francis because she planned to give him a little scare.
About nine o’clock Mae heard him as-| cending the stairs. She stood prepared I for her work. The minute he entered I the bedroom she shoved a bright flash-• i light into his eyes. This being very powerful, he shut his eyes. As he was standing on the carpet, Mae gave the I carpet a jerk and down her brother .: went. He gave a yell, and fled' down-| stairs into the kitchen.
Something gave Mae a hint that [ | Francis would get square with her. The next morning about six o’clock Mae put a long string across her bedfoom.
' On the string were attached two cans of water, bells, rattles, etc.
Sure enough he came into her room ;. with some things in his hands. She held , her breath and shut her eyes, but in a moment she heard a crash and "saw Francis lying on the floor, (and if she ’ remembered correctly) wet as ever, and ': the bells were ringing. Mae laughed so j i hard that her mother heard her down-p: stairs and she came up. Seeing the water on the floor, she commanded, “Since 1: you have planned to wash the floor, to-j morrow, you will scrub it.”
The next day while she was scrub-5 i bring, Francis stood there, laughing. All Jhe said was, “Revenge is sweet-some-! times, but not with you.”

t DEAR EDITOR:
: t
It seems to me that some of our read- j j ers should be puzzled, for sometimes I j head my article with Soudan, Minn., , then again, the next time with Tower, j Minn. I am really from Soudan—I was , born there and lived there until I went | ] to high school. (Incidentally we call j -high school from the ninth through the [, twelfth grades.) Then, since there were ;, no high schools in Soudan, I went to i the one in Tower. The school in Tower ■, is called the Tower-Soudan High School ; because we have students of both lo- | calities attending it. I have been staying j at my grandma’s ever since I began high school ,so I address my letters at Tower 'where I receive all my mail. In spite of the above situation, I belong to St. Barbara, SSCU lodge of Soudan, so it is no more than proper that I head | my article Soudan, Minn.
School commenced here on Sept. 11 and it surely was some fun. Our new: schools are not as yet entirely finished j so some divisions have churches for classrooms. The schools are expected to be ready by this coming March—and i I’m sure any number of pupils are very j happy about it. I am a sophisticated 1 senior this year and am taking four subjects—Chemistry, Higher Algebra, j English and Economics.
Right now the football season is in. i full swing. We (Tower-Soudan) played j ‘ Ely on Sept. 16th and lost by a score of 20 to 7. This score was quite contrary i to the prediction of 21 to 0. On Sept.; 23rd, we played Biwabik and this score of 7 to 0 in favor of Biwabik, was also, contrary to the prediction of 21 to 7. j Our high school has a fine team and the boys can surely fight. After the, first half of the later game, the score j was still 0 to 0. It was only toward the end of the game that Biwabik finally scored.
Autumn or Indian Summer is here and the trees are “tres beau” with their j many colored leaves. Jacky Frost surely j has admirable power with his paints. | Everything seems so calm and peaceful, j The time is here “when the frost is on the pumpkin” and the potato horvesting has begun. Most families in Soudan have small farms for gardening at the: end of the town. It surely is fun picking pumpkins, squashes, and cabbages, especially when one finds the largest one.
On Sept. 2nd, I had the good fortune of answering an invitation presented to j me by Frances Koritnik, an athletic! delegate from Gilbert. She invited'me to her home at Gilbert. The “Zenske” j had a little conference on this day and a dance was held at Gilbert’s new Com-' munity Center at night. Gilbert has a marvelous Community Center. Bill Rupar and his orchestra from Chisholm played for this dance. I had the good fortune to meet many of the delegates from the range towns again, it was something like old times. I was only | sorry I couldn’t stay for the picnic,
; which was the very next day. Fannie, her mother, and dad and sister were just 1 wonderful to me. I could not express my thanks to them in words for their generosity. Fannie has a new bicycle] and I guess I would never tire riding it. With homecoming in view and also
GOWANDA, N. Y.
DEAR EDITOR:
Leaves are turning different colors, all of the kids walking and playing in the leaves, and I sure can remember the fun I use to have playing in the leaves. Many people hiking through the woods, plenty of football games going on. What does this remind us of? Oh! Yes! Fall has come once again. It won’t be long when we’ll be cuddled around the stove.
Little Stan or Elsie Desmond, do you know of John Somrack, Ely’s photographer, (the one you spoke of in your letter, Elsie) is the same person who stayed in Gowanda for a while? One of the juveniles, where he and his wife stayed, asked me to write and see if you two knew. He is well known by quite a number of Slovenes of Gowanda and if the same person, formerly lived in Girard, Ohio.
On October 12, we celebrate Columbus Day. If you read your history you can remember way back in 1492, while Columbus was seeking a new route to India, he found this great unknown world.
I’m also including a short story entitled: Hallowe’en.
A group of boys and girls were talking over the things that they would do I on Hallowe’en night. The next day aft-jer school they told the other gang ! about their plans and they just laughed I at them and told them they would get into trouble, but they didn’t listen to ■ what they said.
Hallowe’en came and with plenty of wax they headed for school. They did a good job of waxing and then as they were going home, they forgot about the burdocks near the school and they walked right into them.
The next day the principal came in-
to the room and seeing the boy with ] still some of the burdocks on his sweater j began asking him questions; after a j long deliberation the boy admitted that; he had waxed some of the windows and j told the rest of those that were with him.
Then after school for about a week ] they had a job of washing windows and a job it was getting the wax off. The whole school was laughing at them and i they were very angry for the rest had a j good time after school and they had j to wash windows. They said they would_ leave school windows alone from now ; on.	_

DEAR EDITOR:
In my first paragraph I wish to take ] the opportunity to thank the supreme; board very much for the $3.00 check I received on October 2. Thank you very much.
You have been reading articles sent, in by the juveniles on reports of the [ convention and other subjects. I think ] that we should take this means of ] thanking all the juveniles who are so j wonderfully supporting their Union, j and also being so loyal to their fine ; paper. But one thought remains. You ] juveniles must keep on writing because if you won’t keep up the juvenile page, who will? So you see try and write every month, even if your article ■ is short just so you have an article in j at least once a month.
This* looks as if it is another busy ] month for Little Stan, so I guess I’ll take over his Magic Carpet. Yes, this carpet just wants to fly by itself today.
! Just as my typewriter does. Let’s go j ; to Pennsylvania first and drop in to s : see Theresa Macek who gives us a short review of her trip to Ely. Wishes to thank Mr. and Mrs. Mantel for their j kindness while she was staying at their home ... On to Strabane we find our | very active juvenile writer, Veronica i Barbie sending in a very long and wonderful article of her trip to Ely.
] That was swell, Veronica. Hoping to j | see another of your articles in soon . . . j I From Falls Creek we have Mary M. j I Kozal sending in a) short poem, entitled ! j “My Brother” . . . From Pa. we travel | i down to Colprado, our first stop is at ] Cokedale where the Magic Carpet finds !
! Clara Frlan, delegate to the conven-] tion. She tells us in her own words how | much she enjoyed the trip to Ely and i wishes to thank Mr. Okoren, Mr. Zbasnik, Little Stan and Mr. and Mrs. Pierch for the fine things they did for her . . . Leaving Colorado with one thought in mind and that is that your reporter believes that there should be more articles in the paper from the delegates and other juvenile members of Colorado . . . Stopping at Omaha, Neb., we find Charles Broderick still wondering about those good old days in Ely. Wonders if Emil “ride-em-eowboy” remembers that night in Stan’s office? We wonder too . . . To Butte, Montana the Magic Carpet flies hurriedly to find my other correspondent, Dorothy Predovich thanking the wonderful people in Ely for her fine time there. Yes, Dorothy we agree with you that the governor is rather handsome . . . Leaving Montana we go to Minnesota at Eveleth first and find Anne Laurich thanking all the folks for giving her a wonderful time while she was in Ely . . . To Chisholm we find another beauty and she is none other than Dorothy Kotchevar. Just can’t express the fine time she had in Ely . . . To Ely, the Playground of a Nation, we find my dear correspondent, Florence D. Startz writing a fine article on almost everything. Thanks for the compliments, Florence . . . Her sister, Margaret tells us that she received her first permanent wave .. . that she went back to school on Sept. 5 and likes it . . . Are you behaving like a good girl, Margaret? . . . Back to Cleveland we find Florence Prosen writing two well composed poems . . . Sally Hrvatin, herself has in a good article and my good friend, Ann Winkler, a proud new member has a very wonderful interesting letter, at least as a beginner . . . Yours truly signing off of the Magic Carpet until next month when again I shall report on the articles written by the juveniles.
School started on September 11. You can just imagine 5028 pupils going to school that morning. Some walking, some by street cars and some using the bus as means of transportation. I used the latter. This term I have the following subjects: Latin, History, Biology, English, Gym, Glee Club, a reporter’s job, and helping a teacher. I start school at 8:10 and get out at 2:00. The name of the school I attend is Collinwood High.
Seems that the only very important article you see in the paper now are about the war. Only those three little letters and they mean so much to the people living there and the people living here. Many of the people who are liv ing here at the present time have mothers, fathers or brothers and sisters living in Europe. Do you think we like the war? I should say not, but the people have said back a few years already that this is what we might have ex pected in ’39 and so we have it . . . war. Just because there will always be some one person in the world who will try and conquer the world . . . himself. But in many cases it doesn’t work out that way. You can see (gradually) for yourself. Yes, most parents are thinking back in the years of ’14-’18. Probably you were just a tot then. You didn’t know what was going on, but your par ents did. They had to protect you . . they knew the meaning of the word “war.” You cried then. But now you are grown up. You understand. You know what your parents have gone through by only reading the papers. Yes, you understand now. You must

V Lancastru, Pa., je bil priveden pred sodnika 80-letni Joe j Buzzard, ki je vsega skupaj pre- i živel 34 let v raznih ječah. Obtožen je bil, da je ukradel konja, kar je mož brez obotavljanja priznal. Sodnik je obtoženca vprašal, če je konja ukradel z namenom, da bi spet prišel v | ječo. “Seveda,” je odvrnil vprašani. “V zaporu sem preživel toliko let, da me je prijelo domotožje po znanih prostorih in sem si zaželel nazaj.” Sodnik je njegovi želji ustregel. Res, do-i movina mili kraj!
Pred leti so evropski državni- j ki letali v Rim, potem so letali v Monakovo in Berlin, zdaj pa letajo v Moskvo. Čudna so pota državnikov.
Na svetovni razstavi < New Yorku imajo skupino importira-nih subincev iz Iraka, ki radovednežem kažejo umetnost izdelovanja srebrnih okraskov. Subinci so verska sekta, katerim vera predpisuje, da se morajo vsak dan kopati v tekoči vodi. V New Yorku subinci zadostijo tem predpisom s tem, da vsak dan vzamejo prsno kopel j. Amerika se jim silno dopade. Po njihovem mnenju ta dežela najbolj sliči paradižu. Ne morejo se načuditi, da je tu toliko izobraženih ljudi in da so skoro vse ženske lepe. V koliko imajo naivni subinci prav in v koliko se motijo, ostane odprto vprašanje.
Angleški zgodovinar Robert Cushing je izračunal, da v zadnjih 3500 letih, ki jih zapisana zgodovina precej točno pokriva, je bilo samo 268 let, ko je na svetu vladal mir, ko prav nikjer ni bilo vojskovanja. Zato je mir tako dragocen, ko ga je tako malo na svetu.
Znanstveniki so pronašli, da tista ura spanja zjutraj, predno je treba vstati, je telesnemu sistemu najbolj koristna in prijetna. Presneto dolgo je vzelo znanstvenike, da so pronašli tisto, kar mi vemo že od otroških let.
❖
Dandanes, ko se po svetu gode tako čudne reči, da jih lahko primerjamo s pravimi čudeži, se bo morda zgodil tudi čudež, da se bodo začeli naši društveni tajniki pritoževati, da člani v prevelikem številu prihajajo na društvene seje in veselice in da s prevelikim navdušenjem in prezgodaj plačujejo svoje ases-mente. Prav za prav bi bili taki čudeži kar all right!

REŠEVANJE PROBLEMOV
■ m-------
Vsi skupaj in vsaki zase imamo probleme, ki zahtevajo kar najbolj'ugodne rešitve. Problem vsakega posameznika se tiče zdravja in eksistence. Tisti, ki imajo na skrbi družine, se morajo ukvarjati že s številnejšimi in obširnejšimi problemi. Od tu se krog razširja na večje! skupine, kot na podporne in kulturne organizacije, na; upravo mest in držav, na osrednjo vlado dežele in končno na človeško družbo v splošnem.
Moči in zmožnosti vsakega posameznika, pa tudi! vsake posamezne skupne so omejene, zato je potrebno, da jih.rabijo tam, kjer morejo kaj žaleči in koristiti. Pravilno je torej, da se najbolj intenzivno ukvarjamo s tem, kar nam je najbližje. Slab gospodar je tisti, ki se bolj briga za probleme sosedov kot za svojo lastno družino in svoje' lastno gospodarstvo.
Dobri člani J. S. K. Jednote se v prvi vrsti brigajo : za svoje društvo in svojo Jednoto, zavedajoči se, da imajo j druge slične organizacije dovolj zmožnih in skrbnih članov, ki se bodo brigali za njihove probleme. Priporočljivo je sicer, da kolikor toliko zasledujemo tudi poslovanja drugih organizacij, da se morda od njih kaj dobrega naučimo ali pa, da se izognemo napak, ki jih morda delajo druge. Vsaka kritika pa pripada lastnim članom organizacije in nikomur drugemu. Mi želimo dobro vsaki drugi j podporni organizaciji, toda v njihove notranje probleme se ne vtikamo. Tako ostajamo dobri sosedi in gentlemeni. Koristnega dela, če smo navdušeni zanj, pa imamo vedno doma dovolj
Na uprave mest, držav in dežele, kjer živimo, mo*i
remo vplivati le posredno, to je potom izvoljenih zastopnikov. To izvedemo na ta način, da ob volitvah glasujemo za tiste kandidate, o katerih mislimo, da so najbolj -zmožni in voljni delati za blagor splošnosti. Včasih je: morda umestno, da izvoljene zastopnike tudi kdaj pozneje opomnimo na probleme, ki se nam zdijo važni. Pri: tem pa nam seveda ne bo prišlo na um, da bi kritizirali upravo mesta Chicaga, če imamo, na primer, volilno pravico v Clevelandu, niti ne bomo kritizirali legislature j države Montane, če živimo in volimo v Pennsylvaniji.
Kot državljani Zedinjenh držav imamo za sosede na jugu Mehikance. Želimo jim dobro in upamo, da ostanemo1 z njimi v dobrih sosedskih odnošajih, v notranje razmere; njihove dežele pa se ne moremo in ne maramo vtikati. Le če bi naši južni sosedi povzročali krivice državljanom i Zedinjenih držav, bi imeli vzrok, da se razburjamo. Morebitne korake za popravo takih krivic pa bi mogla: logično in uspešno storiti le naša zvezna vlada.
Istotako se kot ameriški državljani ne moremo vtika- j ti v notranje razmere Jugoslavije ifiti ne moremo vplivati na njene mednarodne odnošaje. Res je, da nam je njena usoda bolj pri srcu kot usoda katere koli druge inozemske dežele, česar nam ne more nihče zameriti, toda dejansko moremo zanjo storiti le malo ali nič. Notranje razmere: Jugoslavije si bo po okusu in zmožnosti uredilo ljudstvo, 'ki biva ter plačuje krvne in denarne davke tam. Za od-: nošaje z drugimi državami pa je odgovorna jugoslovanska vlada, ki je za uspehe ali neuspehe odgovorna svojimi državljanom, če bi se od strani inozemstva skušala Jugoslaviji delati krivica, ima slednja kot samostojna država! z zastopstvom v vseh glavnih mestih inozemstva prilike in sredstva, da se glede krivic pritoži pred vsem svetom.' Peščice nas, ki smo tukaj, ne bi noben činitelj, ki kaj; šteje v mednarodnem koncertu, niti slišal niti upošteval,! če bi še tako kričali. Čehi, na primer, so v drugačnem položaju; zanje govorijo njihovi rojaki v inozemstvu, ker so jim doma ufeta zavezana.
Mi ameriški Slovenci kot taki tudi ne moremo najmanj vplivati na razvoj evropske situacije. Za enkrat ni videti niti, da bi zamogla velika republika Zedinjenih držav s svojimi 130 milijoni prebivalcev kaj dosti vplivati, na skrajno zapletene evropske razmere. Amerika želi z ozirom na evropski konflikt ostati nevtralna, ker taka je zahteva ogromne večine ameriškega ljudstva. Morda bo ! Ame'rika kot neprizadeta in močna velesila mogla v dogledni bodočnosti nastopiti kot pomirjevalka in posredo-j valka v evropskem sporu. Ko bo čas za to, bo morda prijateljska beseda Amerike pomagala ustaviti bojno vihro; in sestaviti načrt za trajni mir v Evropi. Upajmo, da se to j zgodi in da tisti čas ni več daleč.
Za enkrat pa je najpametnejše za nas, da se ne raz-: burjamo in ne debatiramo preveč zaradi evropskih problemov. Zaupajmo v republiko Zedinjenih držav, da bo storila najboljše za našo korist in za korist človeštva, v splošnem. Udejstvujmo se kot dobri ameriški državljani za blagostanje te dežele in prispevajmo po svojih skromnih močeh, da bo baklja svobode in demokracije jasno
HITLER ZA MIR
Nemški kancelar Hitler je dne
6.	oktobra v svojem dolgo pričakovanem govoru izjavil, da je pripravljen skleniti mir, seveda pod nemškimi pogoji. Ti pogoji naj bi vsebovali delno razorožitev, rešitev židovskega problema, morebitno upostavljenje poljske države, ki bi vsebovala samo Poljake, pod nemško in rusko nadvlado, in povrnitev bivših nemških kolonij. Dejal je, da zdaj, ko je Poljska podjarmljena, Anglija in Francija nimata vzroka za nadaljno vojno. Nemčija da je pripravljena spoštovati neodvisnost Danske, Belgije, Jugoslavije in drugih sosednih držav. Poudaril je, da je Nemčija nepremagljiva, kar da bosta izkusili Anglija ih Francija, če se bosta še nadalje bojevali.
Anglija in Francija smatrata ,da je Hitlerja strah pred posledicami vojne z omenjenima velesilama, zato bi želel vojno za enkrat končati. Toda nihče v Franciji in Angliji ne veruje Hitlerjevim obljubam. Nemčija je zasedla Posaarje, anektirala Avstrijo in nato sudetski del Češkoslovaške, potem je podjarmila še ^»stali del češke in končno zavojevala še Poljsko, dasi je Hitler po vsaki prejšnjih aneksij svečano izjavljal, da ne mara nadaljnega ozemlja v Evropi.
trudnika Stanleya Pechaver ja ali Little Stana. Naj bi bilo ozdravljenje hitro in popolno.

RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
do 3. oktobra v Panami, so bile sprejete nevtralnostne določbe, ki bodo upoštevane od vseh ameriških republik, in določena je bila varnostna pomorska zona ob obalih vseh republik. Ta zona bo mnogo bolj široka kot je bila dosedanja teritorialna zona. V Washingtonu bo za čas evropske vojne stalni odbor zastopnikov vseh ameriških republik, katerega posel bo paziti na vse probleme, ki jih na tej strani Atlantika utegne povzročiti evropski konflikt. Ameriške republike še niso nikdar v zgodovini pokazale toliko volje za tesno medsebojno sodelovanja kot tekom sedanje evropske vojne.
BERGDOLL OBSOJEN
Grover C. Bergdoll, ki se je tekom zadnje svetovne vojne izognil službi v ameriški armadi in je pobegnil v Nemčijo, je bil pretekli teden pred vojaškim sodiščem v New Yorku obsojen na tri leta zapora pri težkem delu. Bergdoll je bil rojen in vzgo-'jen v Philadelphiji kot sin bogate nemške pivovarniške družine.
INDIJANSKO POLETJE
Zadnje dni preteklega in začetne dni tekočega tedna je po večini našega srednjega zapada vladalo.tipično indijansko poletje ,ki se je glede gorkote lahko merilo s pravim poletjem.
V	Clevelandu in nekaterih drugih mestih države Ohio, je v nedeljo 8. oktobra živo srebro v toplomerih doseglo 88 stopinj.
BALKANSKI BLOK
Iz Beograda in iz Bukarešte se poroča, da je prišlo do pomir-jenja med Rumunijo in Madžarsko na eni strani ter med Madžarsko in Jugoslavijo na drugi strani. Posebno napete so bile razmere med Rumunijo in Madžarsko, pa tudi Jugoslavija in Madžarska si medsebojno nista dosti zaupali. V vseh treh državah je bilo na mejah koncentriranega mnogo vojaštva. Zadnja poročila javljajo, da so vse tri države odpoklicale večji dfeJ vojaštva od medsebojnih mej in da so izvedle delno demobilizacijo. Ustanovljena je bila med njimi nekaka prijateljska zveza, ki se morda po potrebi razvije celo v vojaško zvezo. Pričakuje se, da se bosta temu balkanskem bloku pridružili tudi Bolgarija in Grčija in morda celo Turčija. Italija snovanje tega balkanskega bloka pospešuje. Mussoliniju se najbrž zdi, da edino na Balkanu more še vloga Italija kaj pomeniti. Močan blok balkanskih držav s pridruženo Italijo morda reši jugovzhodno Evropo vojnega požara.
VOJNA AKTIVNOST
Na francosko-nemški fronti je razen sporadičnega obstreljevanja in prask med patruljami zelo malo aktivnosti. Na obeh straneh pa so milijonske armade v pripravljenosti. Istotako so v vojni pripravljenosti Švica, Belgija in Nizozemska, da ohranijo svojo nevtralnost. Pomorska blokada Nemčije od strani angleške in francoske vojne mornarice postaja vedno bolj intenzivna. Nemške pod-
RUSIJA NA BALTIKU Sedanja Rusija se dotika Baltiškega morja prav na severnem koncu ,kjer je morje najmanj štiri mesece v letu zamrznjeno. Do ostalega dela Baltiškega morja, ki ima ledu proste luke, ji branijo tri male baltiške republike: Estonija, Latvija in Litvinska. Te države so bile pred zadnjo svetovno vojno del Rusije. V interesu Anglije in Nemčije je bilo, da se Rusiji zabrani dostop do Baltiškega morja. Danes, ko sta Nemčija in Anglija zapleteni v vojno, je Rusija izrabila ugodno priliko in si z gospodarsko in “obrambno” pogodbo izsilila dohod do ledu prostega Baltiškega morja preko Estonije. Znamenja kažejo tudi, da bo dobila tako pot tudi preko Latvije in Litvinske. Ocenjene republike bodo sicer ostale navidezno samostojne, toda v resnici bodo pod kontrolo Rusije. Zdi se, da je Rusija dosedaj od evropske vojne še največ profitirala.

Dafodili, narcize, navadne hiacinte in tulipani se sadijo pozneje v jeseni.
Ko listje dreves in grmičev orumeni ali odpade, se jih za-more presajati, ker takrat se je drevesni sok že prenehal pretakati in rastline “spijo.” V jeseni presajena drevesa in grmiči imaj® prilike za hitrejšo in boljšo rast pomladi. V tem času je priporočljivo presajati tudi iglaste rastline. Presajena drevesa in grmiče je treba zalivati vse do jesenskega deževja ali dokler ne začne zemlja zmrzovati. Debla mladih pa tudi starejših dreves je priporočljivo v jeseni pobeliti z apnom.

usually requires much concentration. Thfe time, however, we decided we would please everybody, so we hired the Center Rhythm Boys. After telling you that, I am sure you have decided to come. You have shown us that this orchestra is also your choice by appearing in such large numbers at our past affairs when they played. Dance again to this distinctive style of music at our Hallowe’en Dance.
I think I have told you just about enough to induce you to be in Center on the last Saturday in October. Yes, it is going to be a grand affair, and we will expect you to be there — that includes all of you who usually attend our dances, and everybody else.
In your book of dates to be remembered, enter on the most important page these words: Hallowe’en Dance, Saturday, October 28 in Center.

Thank You
Strabane, Pa. — I want to thank everyone who helped make our picnic on September 17, a successful one. Frank Mekina of Barberton, 0., arrived on Saturday night, so he would not miss a thing. I got to see him even before Stan Progar because the latter wasn’t home at the time of Frank’s arrival. Francis Sneler, Bobby Jurgel and his mother and father came Sunday. Thank you, folks, for coming to our picnic.
Frank and his trio provided excellent music for the dance,, while “Teeny” was singing the popular numbers. Songs were dedicated to Frances Sneler, Bob Jurgel, his mother and father, and Frank Mekina. A number was also played for Matt Vertin of Ely and Eleanor Lange. The jitterbugs all went to town, even Stan Progar helped a bit. Once again I want to thank everyone who helped to make our day a success, and I wish the visitors from Pittsburgh and Barberton would come again.

Safety Note
Wet weather and leaves on the pavement form a major hazard for the motorists. It is hard enough to bring a car to a safe stop when the road is wet and even harder when the road is covered with wet leaves. Each year skidding causes many serious accidents. Play safe and reduce your speed.
—Bureau of Public Relations, Cleveland Police Department.
Judge Gruff — Speeding, eh? How many times have you been before me?
Speedmore — Never, your honor. I’ve tried a number of times to pass you on the avenue but jmy old car won’t go over 50 miles an hour and your new limousine does 80.
Ely, Min n. Typical of this fa-mous Arrowhead country of Northeastern Minnesota is the season of the harvest moon. For it is during this time that Mother Nature weaves her magic spell of romance 'which makes you wish the weather would remain thru-out the year.
It kinda gets you in many ways. You may feel disconsolate when things aren’t going right. You might be in the throes of discontent, enveloped in the blues, perhaps hoping and wishing everything would end ,and thusly put you out of your misery. For in this world there is so much suffering and want.
Perhaps you may be in this frame of mind. But if you are, a trip to this Indian summerland would take every little kink out of you, s£nd you back whistling a tune of happiness with every care stuffed somewhere way back where you couldn’t reach it.
For right now a warm autumn sun helps Mother Nature in her work. Foliage, on trees, brush, and plant life is undergoing its annual change. Like the work of some mysterious artist, beautiful colors blend into the scenery. Driving or walking, the scene in front of you cannot be unnoticed. You drink in every color, every corner and you gaze over a landscape that makes your imagination and spirit swirl, causes your chest to expand as you drink hungrily of nature’s handiwork.
The air lends a light touch of crispness, yet you are not cold for the sun is warm. The acrid smell of burning brush lends* a tang which leaves a sweet taste in your nostrils, makes you feel grand to be a part of this. You know, something or somebody must have hit Little Stan with a tomahawk or something. It’s been sometime since he swung on to a parody on nature. Perhaps he was j qst in the mood for that sort of thing and the beautiful October Indian summer weather did have a hand in it.
Lending to this mood perhaps was a misfortune which occurred last Thursday morning. Dad was preparing for the winter and was on the porch roof washing windows preparatory to put- j ting on the storm windows. It! was raining, and the roof wasj slippei'y. Dad slipped and fell to the ground. Rushed to the hospital it was found he suf-j fered a broken wrist and two; fractured vertabrae. This will' keep him indisposed for at least; six or eight months. But here, too, is where our own SSCU steps in. Dad is treasurer of Lodge No. 2 in Ely, and immediate assistance from genuine and true fraternal brothers and | sisters was forthcoming. Thanks to the lodge, to the SSCU, the hardship will be eased considerably.
Down in Kemmerer, Wyoming way there’s a fellow by name of Emil Zebre who must think Little Stan is an awful chump. For sometime ago, Bro. Zebre, who was a delegate to the second athletic conference, sent Little Stan a lovely letter (Indian Summer Romance? Ahh) and with it two souvenirs, one a crated sample of Wyoming
fishing, the other a memoi*andai pad, which Little Stan really; appreciated. Will be writing; Emil a letter very soon now, and Little Stan hopes that Zebre won’t think him a nincompoop! Heh Heh.
Columns of Nova Doba are still filled with fine accounts o£ the grand convention in Ely, Ann Gornik of Lodge No. 190, Butte, is a grand sport. Too bad she couldn’t make that convention trip, but it is vei’y evident that she drank in every word in our paper in addition to getting vivid verbal accounts from her pals who were here. Bouquets to you, Anna!
. See also that our correspondent Anne Prosen of Cleveland’s famous Ilirska Vila lodge No, 173, is attending Kent State college. Lots df luck, Anne! And Elsie Desmond of No. 173, has just finished a fine account of the convention. Don’t forget, gals, the wheels of publicity, must turn on. You’ve been doing a grand job in keeping them turning.
For it is getting near the end of the year, and it means that our Nova Doba staff of correspondents, including every juvenile member who attended the convention will have to get; ready to swing into action witK the first of the year to take assignments from the staff leaders and write articles eael$ month. You remember? It was a| resolution passed at the convention wherein everyone is a member of a great nation-wide publicity committee. A reporter in every delegate. These reporters will also encourage others to write in, and just fill every; space.
Remember next year is also convention year in Waukegan, Illinois, and we want to do everything possible to insure future juvenile conventions and athletic conferences. By working now, fathers and mothers who will be elected by their lodges as delegates will know that it will not only benefit the juveniles of the SSCU, but in the end will prove to be the big step forward for our SSCU!
So think seriously about this; now.	«
In a week or so it will be Hallowe’en, the holiday of the spooks and goblins. Little Stan will have to blend a little witchcraft with the October moon* and get the Magic Carpet ready, to take another trip across the skies under the light of the glovj; from the captivating moon. Be ready for it, and perhaps we can all get together afterwards and eat some delicious punkin —I mean pumpkin pie!	»
Thanksgiving, Yuletide season and the New Year. They’ll come fast and soon we’ll be all set for another year.
Right now, Little Stan is chasing about covering the football games, cracking camei*a slant shots of action scenes. Was in Tower yesterday to cover the International Falls-Tower high school game, got some good pictures. Tower lost 7 to 0, but it was a hard battle, and was featured by a beautiful goal line stand on the part of the Vermilion Rangers.

Life In a C. C. Camp
made in the Bay Region for the tourists. The boys with trades such as cooks, barbers, machinists and office work, filled in the duties of the camp. The meals were all prepared and served by the boys as was the haircutting and the duties of bookkeeping and stenography, all accomplished by boys enrolled.
On very few occasions, we would be called out to battle a j forest fire but since the installation of the CCCs, fires have been reduced almost fifty per cent. The well cleared forests and constant patrol does not allow the fires any headway if they do start.
The camp was in direct charge | of a seasoned Army Lieutenant or Captain and each camp had an Army doctor to care for the sick or injuries that would occur occasionally. Each camp had an emergency hospital but severe cases were taken quickly to hospitals after first-aid treatments. The officers were very strict and demanded discipline of the first order from th•> boys. The usual punishment for disobedience was a small fine of about three dollars and curtailment of privileges to visit Berkley, Oakland or San Francisco. But inasmuch as the officers were strict, they too were very I considerate and helped the boys in any manner that they were | capable of. They emphasized ; personal care and camp cleanliness and as a result,' our camp Wildcat had the record of being the cleanest and best cared-for camp in the Sacramento' valley for four out of six months. Not | only the camp .The boys as well j for they were encouraged to i keep well shaved and have their | clothes always spic and span.
! Instead of fighting one another,
! they were taught to reason and to be considerate of each other. Drinks were not allowed into camp and on leave, the boys were asked to abstain from all drinks and to be perfect gentlemen at all times.
The day in camp started at six each morning. At the stroke of six, we were to be up and dressed and had half an hour to place our barracks in ship shape. Beds to be made, all ; clothes out of sight and in place 'and the floor swept clean. Then it was out to the yard for the flag raising and homage to Old | Glory. This was a regular morn-I ing feature and only those that were bed ridden were exempted.
! After the flag raising ceremony it was the mess hall where I breakfast was served. After a I good, sound, hearty breakfast, we were allowed forty-five min-| utes rest before we started our daily grind. In this period, one was free to do as he pleased as long as he was on call for work when the call sounded. Then the day’s work would begin and the boys would separate to their ! crews and go to their jobs. For 1 dinner, chuck wagons would come from camp and the boys would huddle about and receive their rations. Sometimes' the meals would be hot with hot soup and sandwiches with tea, coffee or milk. But the healthy appetites of the boys were always satisfied for the camps | one requisite was a good appe-i tite and plenty to satisfy it.
j
After the noon day lunch, i work is again resumed until about four o’clock. Then it’s back to camp and care for ones personal toilet before the call to supper from the mess hall. The ■ “come and get it” call is usually heard between five and six ; o’clock each evening and imme-; diately after supper ,the boys i i are again called to stand at at-i tention as the flag is lowered for ; the day. This, too, is a daily service with exemption for only the unable.
The evenings in camp are spent in diversified entertainment. Some read, play cards,

As the trucks pulled into the camp grounds, we alighted from the trucks and were told to stand at attention. The captain greeted us, welcomed us into camp and stressed good behavior as the main asset. Then he assigned us to our barracks and told us to turn in and get the much needed rest that we looked forward to.
The following day we again underwent another examination and were placed under a two weeks’ quarantine. This was as an inter-state preventive measure and all of us received shots and were ordered to not leave camp or to receive visitors into our barracks. During the two-week period we would not be required to do any work at all and could enjoy ourselves as we saw fit, providing that we stayed within the camp limits and did not visit the other barracks. Most of, us read various publications, played cards or any other form of indoor game that we could obtain and often took hikes just up the hills around the camps. Out on the camp ball field were many that needed ac-'tion to satisfy their desires and in this manner, we spent our first two weeks in camp.
During the quarantine, we had oodles of time and the first few days were spent in getting acquainted and viewing our new homes. The camp in itself was rather attractive and very well laid out. Every building and the camp yard was proof in itself that care and patience was executed to keep the camp in as neat a shape as possible. The low ,Iong barracks built like the army barracks were laid out in a long line to form a T square. Each barrack was painted neatly and off to one side was the Mess hall and another large neat building that proved to be recreation center used for dances, movies and stage presentations. Directly opposite and a little away from the camp was a large clearing and there the boys made a ball park. In the center of the camp was the administration building, very neatly cared for and kept. The roads leading to the camp and to the various buildings were well built and on each side was a nice lawn and beds of flowers. Directly in the center of the camp and in front of the officers’ building is the flag pole where Old Glory flies in all its glory.
After our quarantine was lifted, we were assigned to our different crews and work. Ont crew was made up of aboul twenty to twenty-five men and each crew had their tasks tc perform. At work, the crew was under the direction of one of the C. C. boys who had the title oi senior leader. Then in turn, each crew had a junior leader. A1 work, the responsibility of the crew rested with the leaders anc they had to account for th< boys work and behavior at the end of each day’s work to th< camp commander in charge ol production. The work of th< crews varied. Some had the car« and maintenance of all roads as their daily tasks. This coverec the roads around the camp anc the roads leading into the timbei lands so as to have direct routes to the timbers in case of a foresi fire. Others cleared the grounds of all dried brush to prevent fir< hazards and others cut dowi and hauled away the dead trees that threatened the forests anc the trees that had to be movec for the winding roads into th« forests. Then, some of the boys worked in the various parks

Convention Chatter
By Max Fink
Strabane, Pa. — For our firstj bit of news, let’s travel spiritually, to the small town of Blaw-nox, just out of Pittsburgh.' Here we stop at a one hundred 1 per cent SSCU home and pay homage to His Highness, Little Frank J. Progar Jr., a lad that! has just brought honor and distinction within the ranks of the j SSCU. Yes, for Little Frank, the son of brother F. J., hard-1 working secretary of the Electrons, has now matriculated into royalty ,his fdll title being, His Highness, Prince Frankie; Progar, Prince of the North-East division of Pittsburgh.
This all came about with the termination of the health-beauty baby contest sponsored by the Moose organization in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh district and the surrounding area was subdivided into divisions as were the entries, all age classes taken separate. A beauty winner was picked from each class and from all the classes in one district ,a prince was chosen for the district. And when the judges votes were tabulated, an SSCU juvenile was the proud winner on two counts; the most beautiful baby in his age class and the crown prince of his division.
With the honor of being the most beautiful baby in his class, Prince Frankie was awarded a beautiful silver loving cup, a symbol of beauty and health. And during the coronation of the king baby, a young lad of six summers, Frince Frankie wore a white satin robe and marched in the procession with other princes and princesses similarly attired.
To top these honors, prince Frankie attained a health score of ninety-nine and one half per cent, the highest score made by any of the entries. This alone is quite a distinction as it proved conslusively that prince Frankie was the healthiest baby in the contest. No one was able to score near to Frank and when we realize that only one-half per cent barred him from a perfect score—we must say, “Hail to thee your most royal highness—Prince Frankie.” Only a mole on his back, cause of the half per cent deducted, stood between Prince Frankie and the “very hard to .have” perfect health score.
Now do you wonder why I am a very proud Uncle? Besides prince Frankie, you should see brother Joe’s little girl, Jene-vive. Another one hundred per cent. SSCU family and had the
checkers or chess or visit the various barracks to visit friends or the more studious spent their spare time in studying their school lessons. Three evenings a week we are allowed to visit the cities of Berkeley, three miles from camp, Oakland, nine miles away or San Francisco, just across the bay from Oakland. To make this trip we employed the ferry. Whenever in the cities, the boys would take in theatres, dances or visited friends made on previous trips. The University of California is situated in Berkeley and some of the boys would visit the famed school.
We were allowed to visit the cities on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays providing that our week’s behavior merited the favor. That’s why the boys took to heart the camp’s motto, “It pays to look well” for not only did it give them the privilege to visit the city but also to make many interesting friends and spend many enjoyable hours while in the city.
And so goes life in the C. C. Camps. Next week the third and final article will enlighten you as to the school, sports, pranks and entertainment furnished £he boys in the camps and more thrilling experiences.
youngest been enrolled also, j there could be very little doubt about the prince and princess of | the North-East division being of j the Progar family. And this is ’ not just family pride. It’s true! facts. See the “kids” and be con- j vinced.
Another Mikec Operation
SSCU members of Strabane j and friends were saddened to hear of the misfortune of Mrs. Mikec. She was forced to the | Washington hospital to undergo an operation and while speeding back on the road to recovery, another crushing blow hit the Mikec family. This time, sad to relate, the victim was Henry Mikec, lovable and hard working vice-president of the newly organized Sentinels. Henry was committed to the Can-nonsburg Hospital where a successful operation was performed. Barring complications, Henry will soon be back home but in the meantime, drop Hen a card. Just address it to the Canons-burg Hospital. Hen will sure appreciate it.
The Sentinels, thru this department, send Hen every wish for a speedy recovery and the best of luck during his illness. The members eagerly await Hen’s complete recovery for his services are valuable and his friendship is sincere in any gathering. Good luck Hen.
As this is being written, one eye follows the clicking keys and the other embraces the secretarial book, scanning the list of unpaid members. Somehow, the list grew larger than ever before and as with orders from the “boys” at the last regular meeting, I am sorry to delate that the “unpaiders” will just have to be suspended. You, who will be fined with the suspension, blame it on just your little self and not on me or the boys that attended the last meeting. You could have prevented this by just paying your dues or if that was impossible, all you had to do was to attend the meeting and ask for aid. You were warned repeatedly so you are at fault for having your name in the class below. And the class that cannot claim protection from the SSCU until their suspension is lifted are, Stan Fran-kovich, Bill Smith, John Veros-ko, Joe Verosko, Frank Klo-pach, Alex Laskosky, George Harper and Alex Nackoul.
I can’t understand why you don’t protect yourself. Yes, I mean every one of you that force a secretary to suspend you, be you members of the Sentinels or any other lodge. You’ve got to have protection and you’ve got to pay for it. Why make a secretary’s job so difficult when it can be made so easy? Why not try and come around and explain your difficulties? That’s why fraternals were organized. We’re not cold business men. Everybody has their ups and downs and any lodge is more than glad to aid a brother or sister member who is considerate enough to explain why the dues weren’t paid. Try it some time and don’t be sur-prised if the lodge brothers are human and understand. For I they are. That’s why they have ; a fraternal and hold meetings.

Conemaugh, Pa. — Although the convention is tw(o months past, it seems that only yesterday I boarded the train for Ely, Minnesota. Now I shall try to describe the happenings which I had while traveling to and from Ely, Min-neosta. If you shall board the train with me I shall try to tell you all about the trip by giving some of the enjoyable moments of the convention.
It all started on the foggy morning of August 2, when I started for Johnstown, Pa., to board the 5:23 a. m. train for Pittsburgh. When I arrived at the depot its doors were still closed because I was a full hour early. While I was standing around the depot I saw a boy and his parents coming towards me. This young fellow had a red ribbon on his shirt. When they were right up to me I noticed that it was Mr. and Mrs. Omer and that the young fellow was Louis Omer, juvenile delegate to our convention. Mr. Omer introduced Louis to me, for this was our first meeting, and I was very glad to have such a swell fellow as Louis traveling with me. But now it was time for the 5:28 train to pull into the station and it wasn’t more than five minutes when the engine started puffing for Pittsburgh.
On our way to Pittsburgh Louis Ome:' and I were chatting about us being fortunate enough to be the lucky fellows from our district to be represented at the convention. As we looked out the windows we could not see anything because the fog was very thick in the valleys. By and by the train rolled in Pittsburgh at 7:25 a. m. but to our surprise it was a beautiful sunny morning here. As the conductor yejled Pittsburgh, Louis and I got our baggages ready synd went to the depot to wait for the next train and other Pennsylvania delegation. Our next train wasn't leaving' for Chicago until 8:40 a. m. so as we were tired of sitting and no delegates to be seen at 7:30, Louis and I figured we might as well take a walk and see some of the large buildings in Pittsburgh. As we were leaving the depot to our surprise we met the first car load of delegates arriving from Strabane, Pa. In the group the only delegate which I knew was Stan Progar, whom I met a few months before in Strabane. It did not take long to get acquainted and Stan told Louis and I not to go too far away from the station because he did not want anyone to get lost or miss the next train. Here we kept, on our journey to visit some large buildings in Pittsburgh. The time was coming nearer and nearer for us to depart to Chicago so 'we decided to go back to the depot. Here we came upon a large crowd of people with many baggages and I noticed Big Stan’s hair down over his face. I asked him what was going on and he said that a few delegates were missing and that the train was aiDOut to' prill out. It was none other than Francis Arch, so Big Stan phoned to Dr. Arch’s residence and was amazed to hear that Francis left a day ahead of time through mixed instructions. We then boarded the train and put our baggage on the racks and seated ourselves. The train pulled out of Pittsburgh at 8:40 a. m. Here we had seventeen delegates in an air-conditioned car getting acquainted with each other. Some were playing cards, others singing, and Bob Jurgel was entertaining everyone w'ith some of the jokes which he studied up the night before. Now it was about time to eat breakfast and almost everyone pulled out their bags and had something to eat. We were all enjoying the beautiful scenery which we could see while going through different states such as large buildings, rivers, boats and different bridges.
Little by little the mountainous areas would disappear and the level country could be seen far and wide. Once in a while we would go through rain areas and then pass them and continue with fine sunny weather. We were nearing Chicago closer and closer and as we were passing Comiskey Baseball Park we noticed the other train on the right of us taking the Cleveland delegation to the station. To the left of us everyone looked out the windows to see a huge bridge open up to let a large boat through. This was something that some of us never saw before. Now the conductor called “Next Stop Chicago” and everyone got their baggage ready as the train stopped at 5:00 p. m. We all got out into the great Union Station. Here we were met by a representative of the railroad and he escorted us to the Parmalee Transfer at the base of the Terminal. Here we were put into large twelve passenger cabs and taken to the Chicago and Northwestern Station. After we piled our baggage at the door of the depot we all separated in search for something to eat and drink. We all hurried back and left Chicago with the Ohio delegation and Joe Benich of Indianapolis and Joe Oblock of Chicago at 6:15 p. m.
Again it was time to get acquainted with the other group of delegates for
evidently didn’t pull hard enough. But judging from the looks of the Minnesota route of Arizona two weeks ago—62 to 0 was the score—it looks like our Gopher tide w}ll be one of the teams to beat for national recognition.
And now, with no more prattle, except to tell you to keep your eyes on SSCU Gophers of Lodge No. 2, Little Stan will take the third strike over center and will go b&ck to the bench until next week.
! this was a long ride going into Duluth. It was not long when everyone got ac-i quainted especially w'ith Elsie Desmond's big smile and jolly laughter and j Altoon Jelercic’s clever jokes and re-I marks. Joe Oblock seemed to enjoy j himself more with the glamorous fe-j males than the males. Babe Sneller was having a lot of fun w'ith the darling of I Penna. Jackie Schimmel who was to be 12 years old after the hands passed i midnight. In the car smoker was Bub | Kardell trying all kinds of keys to open his “suitkofer” but could not accom-! plish the feat. But the next morning the conductor found the key and re-| turned it to Bub. By now most of the delegates were asleep except in one corner, where Bob Jurgel, A1 Jelercic, Stan Progar, Ed Mikec, Anne Prosen, Elsie i Desmond andt myself were still awake. Here a couple of smoker chairs were i brought to Stan Progar and A1 Jelercic and they wrere on the stand telling ! jokes and laughing remarks. Then I S heard somebody saying that we are to j pick up another delegate soon and just | then I saw Louis Kolar with his hat in his hand coming through the aisle. He j told us that a beautiful girl from Mil-| waukee was on her way to join us. The 1 train stopped and everj'one ran down the steps and got some hot coffee at the ! restaurant. Here Eleanor Lange joined the tired and sleepy delegates but one j delegate was not so sleepy, for Babe Sneller soon got acquainted with Elea-| nor and they kept company to Ely.
Stan Progar sang happy birthday greetings to darling Jackie Schimmel and a few other joined in the chorus, j A few of the girls and boys were play-j ing a game of hitting hands when the j conductor came through the aisle and told the group that w7e were soon to [ pass Devil’s Lake. It was supposed to | be a beautiful tourists’ outlook and J camp ground. This wTas about 3:00 a. m. and most of us were awake. When we | passed this lake we did not see much for 1 the conductor told us we would see I many hundred cars, but all we Could ! see were a few lights. Maybe he pulled I a gag on us so we would be more awake, j We were nearing Duluth, our next I stop, but we still passed some beautiful ! lakes and long bridges. The moon was | shining on the lakes and through the -1 evergreens but slowly disappearing for ; it now was daybreak. Everyone washed J up and refreshed to look their best up-i on arrival to Duluth for here is where | Little Stan was waiting for the delegation. Here most of the delegates ate up j whatever lunches they had and were I preparing to get ready for departure to | Duluth. The conductor yelled Duluth | and we all got off at 7:30 a. m. There t we were greeted by Little Stan and the ; Western Delegation. I suppose Little , Stan had his arm in shape after all the : hand-shaking. We all took our baggage : to the depot and one of the fellows I watched them all for we scattered in : different places — some to restaurants i and others to stores for greeting cards 1 to be sent to our loved ones. Back to the j depot. Western delegation was getting j acquainted with the rest of the delegates and soon a merry laughter was j heard as we were to board the “Ely | Special” at 9:30 a. m. Here I met a fine
I intelligent supreme officer none other 1! than Mr. Frank Okoren. We had a
[ wonderful talk which lasted for about ; i an hour. He surprised me when he told •, me of some of the folks that live in
■ j my district and which are known to ' i him. Here I also met Marie (Giggles)
j Stimac who made everyone laugh with
■ j her giggles.
There was a baseball game going on ’' during our trip between Duluth and i Ely. Little Stan, Big Stan, and Marie »| participated in this game. The score r! ended nothing to nothing in favor of i1 the spectator's. There was plenty of Slo-i i.vene singing at this time and those
II western girls sure know many songs in : | Slovene. The girls from Montana ! brought along the Barnyard Hop and : they wanted all of the delegates to learn :: it before they arrived in Ely. Was it 11 good? Ask the victims Lou Kolar, Big
• | Stan and Little Stan? Then after the i dance the weight-lifting game was :' played. It sure fooled the victims by a ■' few ounces. Now we were approaching
• i Tower, a fine tourist town, with fine 11 stores, schools, banks and resorts. Here s we picked up another fine delegate I j who was Irene Pavlich ,a very friendly
■ girl from Soudan. She had many bag-■! gages and also greetings for Mr. Zbas-
' nik. We had a gentleman in the crowd s Frank Mekina, who helped Irene with
■ ’■ her baggage to and from the train. Now ! i we were nearing Ely and Helen Okoren
■ was appointed to carry a bouquet oi ’ flowers and Elsie Desmond was to greet i Mr. Zbasnik. Everyone got out of theii I seats a half hour before time to look - their best upon arrival at Ely at 1:1C
• p. m. and now the conductor called Ely, > and we all lived up as the fine people
i of Ely greeted us with a merry cheer I The officers were directing the crowd
• as we were placing our baggage on the depot floor for the truck to haul them
, to the headquarters. We then went into a double line and marched to the tune ! of the fine Ely high school band. At the
■ home office supreme secretary Zbasnik ( placed the delegates into different
homes and the athletic delegates at the ; Forest Hotel. Here we were given room ? mate. I happened to be placed with a Pennsy buddy William Stavor. After getting all set up with the room we went for supper at a fine restaurant . which is operated by Mr. Frank Vertin. t By now we were pretty tired so my , j roommate and I started sawing Minnesota logs at ten o’clock that evening.
Yes, I believe I’ve had enough writ-
■ ing so I’ll say goodbye to the readers until next week w’hen I shall continue my impressions of the successful con-
i vention.

veliki časi vsem narodom, tudi našemu, velike naloge, kakor-šnih morda,—saj naš—še ni nikdar do sedaj imel. S toliko krvjo je kupljena naša narodna svoboda in naša država Jugoslavija, izven katere za nas ni rešitve.
V	velikih časih je pa zato pred vsem potrebna skrajna sloga in edinost, je potrebna velika narodna zavest, velika hrabrost, pa* tudi mogočna skupna volja, ki nas bo naredila zmožnim izrednih žrtev in izredne delavnosti za naš narodni obstoj. Kakor še nikdar v naši zgodovini smo pa ravno sedaj Slovenci razkosani, da mora boleti srce vsakega Slovenca. Nad osemsto tisoč imamo bratov za mejami naše države. Nad štiri-stotisoč nas je razkropljenih širom sveta kot izseljenci. Samo polovica, en milijon tristotisoč, nas je v Jugoslaviji. To dejstvo mora pretresti do kosti vsakega Slovenca.
Bolj kot kedaj preje je zato potrebna naša krepka narodna skupnost, pa naj nas tudi ločijo gore in vode. Telesa so lahko ločena, srca in duh so pa lahko združeni.
Ameriški Slovenci ste državljani najmogočnejše države sveta, pa tudi države največje svobode in demokracije. Kot taki imate pa ravno vi v teh velikih časih največje dolžnosti. Kakor v zadnji svetovni vojni, gleda tudi danes naš narod ravno na vas z upapolnimi in prosečimi očmi. Domovina želi, da ste veliki Amerikanci, pri tem pa zvesti in skrbni sinovi svoje uboge stiskane matere domovine. Ali boste to razumeli? Se tega zavedali?
To sem vam prišel povedat s svojim kratkim obiskom, želel stem sicer obiskati vse večje naselbine. Toda dogodki v Evropi so me prehiteli in pred časom moram odpotovati domov.
Zato lepo prosim vse naselbine, katerih nisem mogel obiskati, da mi to oproste.
Zelo sem bil razveseljen, ko sem bil povsodi sprejet z izredno in nepričakovano prijaznostjo in razumevanjem. Povsodi, na obeh straneh našega svetov-nonazornega in političnega prepričanja, sem našel izredno razumevanje teh velikih časov in izredno veliko dobre volje za skupno delo za korist ameriške Slovenije, pa tudi matere domovine. Ne, ni še to kaka umirajoča Slovenija, temveč čila in zdrava, polna dinamike, ki samo čaka inicijativnega vodstva in .‘■pretnih rok. Zlasti v ameriški ‘iovenski mladini sem našel toliko lepega duha in toliko izredno dobre volje, da sem se razve-r.elil v dno duše.
Zato odhajam pred časom si-"3r s težkim srcem, vendar pa z velikim veseljem domov, kjer 'iom poročal o vsem tem.
Zato pa pri odhodu vse prav iskreno pozdravljam in lepo nrosim, bratje, bodimo v velikih časih veliki in velika bo naša prihodnost. Naš veliki voditelj dr. Korošec je pred kratkim zapisal :;late besede: “Slovenci, vedite, vaša zgodovina se še le začenja.” Kako mogočne besede! Zato pa vsi na veliko delo, da bo ta naša zgodovina velika. Res je, majhni smo po številu. Toda za veliko zgodovino kakega naroda ni treba, da je velik po številu, temveč je važno, da ima velike može, veliko hrabrost, veliko narodne pridnosti, pred vsem pa da je velik v žrtvah in velik v delu, pa bo tudi majhen naroči velik v svoji zgodovini. Ameriška Slovenija, iskreno pozdravljena!
Vsem pa prav iskrena zahvala za vse dokaze naklonjenosti in ljubezni, izkazane mi v tem kratkem obisku.

Ko sem kmalu potem zvedel, da se Tomaž tudi posebej uri v petju ter pripravlja za opernega tenorista, sem se začel še bolj zanimati zanj ter spridoma zasledovati razvoj njegovega glasu.
Fant je menda sani začutil to moje zanimanje, pa se mi je približal ter ostal z mano v tesnih stikih in zaupnem prijateljstvu do danes, čeprav sem mu včasih kar brez vsakršnih ovinkov povedal, kaj mi ni všeč v njegovem petju in kaj bi bilo treba zboljšati pa opiliti v njem. Zdi se mi, da ga je ta moja odkritosrčna in blagohotna kritika še bolj privezala name. Prav gotovo pa je vsaj nekoliko pripomogla k temu, da se mora danes njegov glas z vso resnostjo vpoštevati v glasbeni panogi naše kulture.
Razlika med njegovim glasom pred dvema letoma in sedaj je naravnost velikanska, in človek mora ob tem priti nehote do zaključka, da se fantu naposled odpro vrata v ameriško opero, če vzdrži do konca in zmore še končne stroške za neizbežno potrebne tehnične glasbene študije.
Ko sem maja meseca letos zadnjič slišal njegov glas na waukeganskem koncertu Jugo-slovanske katoliške jednote, sem bil bolj uverjen kakor kdaj poprej, da se Tomaž Cukale bolj in bolj bliža svojemu cilju-ameriški operi.
tudi na polju umetnega petja ni treba skrivati pred javnostjo.
Vstopnina znaša za osebo 45 centov. Koncert se prične ob treh popoldne. Na koncertu sodeluje iz prijaznosti waukegan-sko slovensko pevsko društvo. Tomažev pevski učitelj bo spremljal Tomaža na klavir v njegovem petju ter pokazal obenem v samostojnem nastopu, kak mojster je v igranju na klavir.
Po koncertu, na katerem bo pel Tomaž pesmi v slovenskem, angleškem in* drugih jezikih, bo ples s prosto zabavo v spodnjih prostorih Slovenskega narodnega doma.

TOMAŽ CUKALE
Če se je Tomažev glas tako krepko razvijal in izpopolnjeval od zadnjega maja sem, kakor se je v zadnjih mesecih pred tistim nastopom v Waukeganu, potem pač ni nobenega dvoma o tem, da se še vse bolj izkaže na svojem prvem koncertu, ki ga nam poda dne 15. oktobra popoldne v veliki dvoraSlovenskega narodnega, doma v Waukeganu, kjer je pred dobrimi 29 leti za-j gledal luč sveta.
Vstopnice za ta koncert se dobijo v Waukeganu pred koncer-j tom pri Martinu Svetetu, potem pri Johnu Merlaku, nadalje “Pri Nacetu” v Slovenskem narodnem domu, potem v Slovenski zadrugi na deseti cesti in domala pri vseh naših kulturnih in podpornih društvih.

Braddock, Pa. — Delavske razmere v tem kraju se še niso toliko izboljšale, da bi mogel komu svetovati, naj pride sem za ; delom. Kljub temu se je obrnilo nekoliko na boljše. Na primer več starejših delavcev ima delo.
V	nekaterih tovarnah so pozvali na delo nekaj delavcev, ki so bili odslovljeni pred par leti ali še prej. Kljub temu pa je še vedno dosti ljudi brez dela. Radi bi delali, toda dela ne morejo dobiti. Nekateri listi pišejo, da je to krivda nas delavcev. Jaz ne vem; morda je, morda ni, in če je, v koliki meri je. Ko bi bil i sam finančni magnat in bi obratoval tovarne, bi morda vedel za vzroke, zakaj ne morem dati delavcem dela in zaslužka, taki trpini kot smo jaz in z menoj tisoče drugih, pa premalo razumemo komplicirani gospodarski sistem dežele in sveta v splošnem ,da bi mogli o tem resno in kolikor toliko pametno razpravljati. Naša običajna vsakdanja ugibanja, zakaj ni dela in zakaj ni dovolj dela, pa ostanejo le ugibanja.
Od resnih problemov, ki so vsak dan pred nami, pa se je včasih priporočljivo vsaj začasno umakniti in si poiskati kako razvedrilo. Pikniki na prostem so minili in zdaj bodo v take svrhe prišle razne veselice v dvoranah. Tako bomo imeli tudi v Braddocku jesensko veselico ali vinsko trgatev, katero prire-de skupno tri tukajšnja slovenska društva, namreč št. 31 JSKJ, št. 239 SSPZ in št. 300 SN-PJ. Ta veselica se bo vršila v soboto 21. oktobra v Litvinski dvorani na Washington St. in se bo pričela ob 7. uri zvečer. Plesalce bo gotovo zadovoljil orkester Martina Sero, ki je široko znan zaradi svojih nastopov na radio oddajni postaji WGHB v Greensburgu, Pa. Da ne bo kateri opešal, bodo na razpolago okusna okrepčila, tekočih in drugačnih vrst. Za porednežej bo dovolj zabave pri “uzmanju” j grozdja, za sodnika, ki bo ta-1 tove sodil ,in za konstablerja, ki j jih bo s težkimi verigami povezane vodil pred sodni stol, bo pa dovolj dela in skrbi. Kajti j nihče ne ve, če se ne bodo verige trgale, če se ne bodo sodniku svinčniki lomili in če ječa ne bo puščala. Vsekako, bomo videli. | To se pravi, videli in celo poskusili bomo lahko to, če pridemo v I soboto 21. oktobra zvečer v Lit-vinsko dvorano v Braddocku na skupno veselico in vinsko trgatev treh tukajšnjih slovenskih društev.

Joseph Kestnar, tajnik.
La Salle, lil. — članstvo dru-: štva Danica, št. 124 JSKJ, pozi-! vam, da se v polnem številu ude-! leži prihodnje seje, ki se bo vr-j šila v nedeljo 15. oktobra. Na j omenjeni seji bo podano poročilo zastopnika na zborovanju federacije. Prihodnja seja fede-j racije se bo vršila v mestu La : Salle, 111., in treba bo določiti datum.
Priporočljivo je, da bi se člani v bodoče bolj številno udele-I ževali sej kot je bilo dosedaj v ; navadi. Sam odbor ne.more reše-] vati zadev, ki pripadajo seji.
] Sploh pa se more vse v največje i zadovoljstvo članov ukreniti le, če je čim večje število članov na i seji. Torej, vsi na prihodnjo se-| jo!
Zborovanje federacije, ki se je vršilo 1. oktobra v Milwau-keeju, je bilo dobro obiskano. Taka zborovanja so, po mojem mnenju, velike koristi za Jed-noto, ker razmotrivajo probleme, ki so vsem društvom skupni. Vzbujajo tudi veselje do organizacijskega dela. Pri tej priliki naj tudi omenim, da so nas so-bratje in sosestre v Milwaukee prav lepo sprejeli in pogostili. Upam, da se vidimo na prihodnjem zborovanju v La Sallu in da bomo mogli naklonjenost po- j vrniti. Lepa hvala tudi drugim za vso naklonjenost, posebno še; družinama Alpner in Grabnerh Pozdrav vsem!
Frank Struna, podpredsednik dr. št. j 124 JSKJ.
Hibbing, Mimi. — člane in članice društva Sv. Frančiška, št. 54 JSKJ, vabim, da se polnoštevilno udeležijo društvene veselice, katera se bo vršila v soboto 21. oktobra. Veselica se bo vršila v dvorani “Sons of Italy” na Howard St., se bo pričela ob 8. uri zvečer in bo trajala do polnoči. Vstopnina za osebo bo 25 centov.
Plesalce bo gotovo zadovoljil znani Ruparjev orkester in za razna okrepčila bo poskrbljeno. Upamo, da nas na tej veselici posetijo ne samo naši člani, ampak tudi člani in članice drugih društev in sploh vsi rojaki in rojakinje, ki bivajo v tem okrož-
Roundup, Mont. — čitala sem mnogo dopisov od delegatov in delegatinj pretekle mladinske konvencije in atletične konference v Elyu. Iz teh dopisov se vidi, da so imeli delegati obeh konvencij res užitek in da so sei marsikaj naučili. Tekom potovanja so mnogi videli velik del te dežele, na Elyu so videli dom svoje Jednote ter so se sezna-1 nili z glavnimi odborniki in med-i sebojno. Upam, da so si zapomnili lepe govore in priporočila glavnih odbornikov in drugih govornikov. Upam, da so jih ti govori uverili, da se nobenemu ni treba sramovati slovenskega jezika, če je sin ali hčerka slovenskih staršev. Isto velja za otroke drugorodcev. Nihče ni j
j nič boljši in nič slabši zato, če j so njegovi starši prišli v to deželo iz Irske, iz Anglije, iz Jugoslavije, iz Italije, iz Rusije itd. Nikomur se ni treba sramovati, da izhaja iz te ali one narodno-| sti. Saj celo predsednik Roose-| velt nikoli ne prikriva, da izha-i ja iz holandske rodovine. Tu pa smo vsi Američani in lahko smo | veseli, da nas je usoda postavila v to deželo, kjer še uživamo ] svobodo, ki pristoja ljudem, in kjer, upamo, da nas ne doseže vojni vihar ,ki divja v Evropi.
Zdaj pa naj nekoliko opišem moje potovanje na Ely, Minn., kot tajnica društva št. 88 JSKJ J v Roundupu, Mont.
Z našima dvema del ega tin jama mladinskega oddelka, Marie Štimac in Rose M. Banovetz smo zapustile Roundup z vlakom 2. avgusta ob 1.55 zjutraj. V St. I Paul, Minn., smo dospele ob 11. uri isti večer. Na Union postaji smo se sestale z delegacijo iz drugih delov Montane, kot z Miss Smith iz East Helene, Mrs.
I Crawley in Mrs. Predovich iz Butte ter s skupino mladinskih delegatinj od društva št. 190 iz Butte. Potem smo se seznanile i še z delegacijo iz drugih zapad-nih držav. Pozdravile smo se s j Frankom Okornom, 3. glavnim podpredsednikom, in njegovo hčerko Helen iz Denverja, Colo.
i
Ob 11.59 zvečer smo odpotovali iz St. Paula proti Duluthu. Delegacija je- postajala zaspana in vljudni konduktor nam je pokazal, kako se dajo iz sedežev i napraviti zasilne postelje. Neka-i teri smo si preskrbeli tudi blazine. Tako je kmalu vse pospalo in tudi mene je premagal spanec za nekaj ur. Ko se je danilo, j smo se vozili preko farmskega j sveta proti Duluthu, koder se je j vlak pogostoma ustavljal. Mesto Duluth je od daleč lepo vide-I ti. Istotako je lepo videti jezero Superior in parnike, ki po njem prevažajo železno minne-
i	sotsko rudo v druge kraje. Okoli
7.	ure zjutraj smo dospeli v Duluth, kjer smo zajtrkovali in si j nekoliko ogledali mesto. K vlaku, ki je bil namenjen na Ely, se je zbrala delegacija iz vseh krajev. Tekom vožnje na Ely, je bilo dovolj petja, smeha in šal. Nekaj časa je bilo slišati petje le v angleškem jeziku, toda naenkrat so se oglasile slovenske pesmi. Gledam odkod prihaja to petje, pa vidim Miss Frances Škerjanc iz Detroita, lepa in prijazna deklica in uradnica tamkajšnjega angleško poslu-jočegaV društva JSKJ (ima res pravo ime, kajti Škerjanec je dober pevec), dalje vidim Mrs. Mary Bodack, potem Franka Okorna in Louisa Kolarja. Kmalu sem se skupini pridružila tudi jaz, ker me petje veseli. Pristopilo je še več mladih delegatov in slovensko petje je prevladalo v železniškem vozu. Bilo je res prijazno slišati v Ameriki rojeno mladino slovensko peti. V ta-! kem razpoloženju je štiri ure1 trajajoča vožnja do Elya kmalu minila.
Na postaji v Elyu je pričakovalo naš vlak polno občinstva. Celo godba je bila tam. Takoj sem imela priliko, da sem se pozdravila z našim glavnim tajnikom Zbašnikom in z drugimi glavnimi odborniki. Tam sem se sestala tudi z Mrs. Sprajc, ki je pričakovala njene hčere iz New Yorka. Od tam sva se napotili k družini Johna Škufca, kjer sem imela preskrbljeno stanovanje za čas mojega tamkajšnjega bivanja. Tam so me brž vprašali, kako je kaj moj mož Matt in njihova hčerka, Mrs. Lucas Zupan/ki je omožena v Roundupu, Mont., kakor tudi kako se imajo drugi sorodniki. Izročila sem jim mnogo pozdravov od vseh. Po kosilu sem si z Mrs. Sprajc nekoliko ogledala mesto. Posebno se mi je dopadel novi Community Center, kjer je lep prostor za prirejanje raznih zabav. Mesto samo na' sebi je lepo in prijazno.
Udeležila sem se obeh konvencij, to je mladinske in atletične. Prvi dan je bila mladinska kon-
vencija, in pred zaključkom se-1 je je glavni tajnik mladi delega-1 ciji predstavil, vse zunanje po-setnike. Med drugimi je pred-| stavil tudi mene kot zelo aktivno tajnico društva št. 88 JSKJ v Roundupu, Montana. Veselilo me je to priznanje, izrečeno od glavnega tajnika. Saj druge plače društveni uradniki tako malo dobijo, zato so hvaležni,
; če dobijo za svoje delo vsaj nekaj priznanja. Jaz sem za vse tri mladinske konvencije pridobila vse nove člane pri našem društvu in istotako za proslavo 40-letnice, kredit pa je dobilo društvo. Napredek društva in Jednote je moje veselje. Tekom zadnje kampanje nisem imela dosti upanja na uspeh pri našem društvu ,ker med Slovenci je že vse zavarovano pri eni ali drugi organizaciji ali še pri ve-čih. Vendar se mi je posrečilo dobiti 45 novih članov mladinskega oddelka. Morala sem iti med drugorodce. Tam mi je ponekod napoti hodilo “katoliško” ime naše Jednote. Nekateri so mislili, da je to verska organizacija in da morejo postati člani le katoličani. Tu in tam sem imela dosti truda, da sem staršem prospektivnih novih mladinskih članov pojasnila, da naša Jednota sicer še vedno nosi katoliško ime, katero so ji dali ustanovitelji pri rojstvu in katerega se članstvu pozneje ni zdelo vredno spreminjati, v resnici pa da Jednota ni niti verska niti protiverska. Njen član more postati vsaka značajna in zdrava oseba belega plemena, brez ozira iz kakega naroda izhaja, ter če pripada tej ali oni veri ali pa nobeni. Poudarjala sem, da v naši oragnizaciji ni nikakega verskega ali političnega prerekanja, ampak da poslujemo le kot bratska podporna organizacija. Večkrat sem morala dolgo govoriti, da sem dosegla uspeh ,tu in tam pa je bilo moje delo tudi brezuspešno. Toda v celoti je bil uspeh dober.
Tekom mladinske konvencije na Elyu sem se spoznala z Mrs. Koritnik in Mrs. Saleškar iz Gilberta, Minn. Na pikniku sem se sestala z Mrs. Murphy, ki je bila delegatinja na 15. redni konvenciji. Druga delegatinja 15. redne konvencije, ki sem jo sestala na Elyu, je bila Mrs. Pauline Vogrich iz Mihvaukee-ja. Vse smo bile vesele, da smo se spet videle.
Konvenčni dnevi na Elyu so za večino mladih delegatov prehitro minili in ko so delegati odhajali, je bilo mnogo poslavljanja in tudi solz. Midve z Mrs. Vogrich sva ostali^še dva dni potem na Elyu. Skupno sva obiskali družine: Benko, Korošec, Golob in Mantel. Povsod sva bili lepo in gostoljubno sprejeti, za-kar hvala vsem! Drugi dan sva obiskovali vsaka po svojih potih. Obiskala sem organistinjo Miss Mary Hutar, katero sem naprosila ,da mi je napisala neko pesem; sestala sem se tudi z g. župnikom. Potem sem poselila družine L. Champa, R. Che-pelnik, A. Zbašnik. Pluth, Kolenc, Mavetz, Cepelnik, Sprajc, Kočevar, Koščak in S. Banovetz in sem bila povsod lepo sprejeta. Pred odhodom sem se oglasila še v glavnem uradu JSKJ, pa se nisem dolgo mudila, ker so bili vsi zelo zaposleni. Poslovila sem se od glavnega tajnika, od pomožnega tajnika in od vseh uslužbencev v uradu.
Hvala vsem, ki so mi na en ali drugi način šli na roke tekom mojega poseta v Elyu. Posebno pa se zahvalim še Mr. in Mrs. John Škufca za lepo naklonjenost in postrežbo. Z omenjeno družino se poznamo že od leta 1928, ko je bila na Elyu konvencija ter je bil moj mož delegat, jaz sem prišla p?f na počitnice na Ely. Od takrat poznam tam mnogo ljudi in jih seveda z veseljem zopet posetim, če je kdaj prilika.
V	Duluthu sva z Mrs. Vogrich imeli za čakati na zvezo z vlakom 5 ur. Obiskati sva sklenili (Dalje ua 8. str.)

“Vem. Prevec novo ti je to. In prav zaradi tega je potrebno čakanje, da doumeš. Kar sem domislila, hočem uresničiti. 2ato vedi, da bom tvoja samo tedaj, če doumeš in si voljan sprejeti, kar terjam!”
“Ti se pogajaš?”
“Da.”
“To je proti sklepu tvojega in mojega očeta.”
“Morda, a je moja odločna terjatev.”
“In če je ne sprejmem?”
“Ne bom tvoja.”
“Prisilijo te lahko.”
“Nikoli in nihče!”
“Motiš se.”
“Ne, ne motim se. Oblast nad menoj imate le, dokler sem živa..
“Ti bi bila pripravljena ...”
“Na vse.”
Abusiris se je zdrznil. Kri mu je nemirno zaplala po žilah in mu silila v možgane. Živci so mu trepetali. Le z največjim naporom je zatrl izbruh divjo jeze in ostal navidez miren in vdan. Zavedal se je, da bi mogla vsaka nepremišljenost na mah prekrižati vse načrte, porušiti vse visokoleteče upe. S krotenim, a vendar malo tresočim ze glasom je dejal:
“Morda si in ljubim te. Oprosti mi, da sem se vznemiril. Tvoje besede so mi bile preveč nenavadne, preveč nove. Mimo tega me je pri tirala do drhtljaja tudi bojazen, da bi se mi odtujilo tvoje srce, o lepa, najlepša! Najvišji namen življenja si mi, najvišja izpolnitev vročih ljubezenskih sanj.”
“Razumem te,” je odgovorila Ofirija hladno,, “zato ne potrebujem obrazložitve in opravičila. Hotela sem ti le govoriti iz srca, tako kakor čutim. V svojem premišljevanju sem doumela velike, nove stvari, ki jih hočem uresničiti, če me resnično ljubiš, ti ne bodo v oviro, sprejel jih boš in mi še sam pomagal, ustvariti tisto, po čemer sem zahrepenela.”
“Ljubim te in uklanjam se tvoji volji, najdražja. Samo do dna moram prej doumeti.”
“Zato je potreben odlog za najino združitev.”
“Težko bo čakanje.”
“A tem slajša bo izpolnitev.”	i
“Poizkusil bom zatreti svojo nestrpnost.”
“Samo kdor jo obvlada, najde pravo pot do sreče in postane mož.”
. “Za plačilo tvoje nagrade se uklanjam, o bistra!”
“Hvala ti!”
“Pozdravljen! Pojdi in premisli moje besede!”
“Pozdravljena, cvetka dehteče orhideje, biserna kaplja jutrnje rose, najlepša med najlepšimi! Tvoj suženj se klanja tvoji lepoti.”
Abusiris se je naglo dvignil in izginil. Ofirija je ostala zopet sama, a prejšnja vedrina je izginila z njenih rožnih lic. Njene žive oči, ki so bile ves čas pogovora ostro uprte v Abusirisa, so opazile vse. Kakor na dJani je stala jasno pred njo vsa prava notranjost njenega snubca. Vedela je, da so bile vse njegove besede samo besede, hinavščina, ki naj zakrije brezobzirno, nago sebičnost, pred katero se je zdrznila njena čista duša. In če ji je bil prej Abusiris vedno tuj, ji je bil sedaj celo odvraten. Za-mrzila ga je kakor gada, ki leži pohlevno in nedolžno na tleh, a čaka prav v tej svoji nedolžnosti s sirovim pohlepom na plen.
“Njegova? Ne!” je vzkliknila na glas, ko je izginil. “Sedaj še vse bolj živo čutim ogromni razloček med njim in Asarhada-nom. Tu pohlepna strast, tam nežna in plemenita vdanost. Ljubim le tebe, moj dragi!”
Dvignila se je, izročila papiruse s pesmimi sužnji in poklicala komornico.
“Poišči mi mladega faraona iz dežele jutrnjih planjav!” ji je naročila. “Toda bodi previdna! Govoriti moraš z njim tako, da te nihče drugi ne bo slišal. Povej mu, da ga pričakujem v grmovju ob ribniku v parku."
“Zanesi se na mojo previdnost, gospodarica!” je odgovorila komornica in izginila.
Ofirija se je napotila v svoje sobane, se preoblekla in potem nestrpno čakala, da se komornica vrne. Zdelo se ji je, da potekajo v čakanju neskončno dolge ure. Ko se je služabnica vrnila, je skoraj planila k njej:
“Si ga našla?”
“Da, gospodarica. Bil je pri učeniku Amurabisu.”
“Pride?”
.“Takoj.”
“Spremi me!”
Malomarno, kakor da gresta na nedolžen sprehod, sta zapustili Ofirija in komornica palačo ter krenili v prostrani dvorni prr’.\ Zunaj je bilo vse čudno mirno in tiho. Nikjer živ * duše Park je dremal v poznem popoldnevu, ki se je že rahlo nagibal k večeru, pretečemu z novo nevihto. last je je viselo po vejah mrtvo in negibno in še ptice se niso oglašale. Samo v ribniku so skakale ribe za mušicami nad gladino in čofota je padale spet v vodo. Ofiriji je nemirno bilo srce, ko se je približala skrivališču, v katerem jo je Čakal on, ki ga je ljubila z vsem ognjem svoje prve in edine dekliške ljubezni.
“Straži in sporoči mi vsako najmanjšo nevarnost!” je naročila komornici ter izginila v varni goščavi.
Skrit med najgostejšim zelenjem, je čakal Asarhaclan, in ko je opazil, da se mu bliža, je ves vztrepetal od sladke sreče. Bre? pozdrava, brez besed je razprostrl roke in ona se ga je skoraj obupno oklenila. Šele čez dolgo je odtrgal svoje ustnice od njenih in vprašal boječe:
“Kaj se je zgodilo, najlepša?”
“Obiskal me je Abusiris in me silil k združitvi..
“In ti?”
“Premotila sem ga z besedami in prisilila k čakanju.”
“Se je vdal?”
( Dalje prihodnjič)
Fran Milčinski:
Muhe
Kulturen sem človek in po kosilu rad legnem. Počitek po kosilu pospešuje telesno lepoto in zraven čitam SHS-slovstvo izza zadnjega meseca. Kajti Sem kulturen človek.
Najmlajše slovstvo sicer vob-če ni v prid telesni lepoti, ker ima pregloboke misli in prenaporne. Duševni napor pa škoduje lepoti. In sploh se mi zdi. kjer je napor, tam se neha lepota.
Vendar se ne bojim, da mi bo slovstvo v kvar, ker kmalu zaspim, in zaspim hitreje s slovstvom v roki, nego brez njega. Počitek brez misli pa resnično pospešuje telesno lepoto, to je dejstvo. Cesto čujem za seboj zavistne glasove: “Lep je, tristo petelinov! Koliko mora počivati in kako malo misliti!” Pa tudi dame lahko to dejstvo opazujejo druga ob drugi.
Skratka, po kosilu rad leg' nem in bi stvar bila tako daleč v redu.
Če bi ne bilo muh!
Ali je prišla jesen, prišla sta dež in hlad. In so prišle muhe. Zunaj jih je pregnal mraz — niso me vprašale, nisem jim dovolil, kar priselile so se mi v stanovanje.
Muhe so brez koristi za so-cijalno skupnost. Ne delajo nič, za nobeno niso rabo, še za tarok niso. Le v nadlego so in mislim, če jih ne bi bilo, ne bi jih pogrešal.
Pa se mi vendar vedejo v stanovanju, kakor da nisem jaz tisti, ki' plačuje bridko najemnino z gostaščino vred in dimnikarjem, nego da so najemnice muhe in da je stanovanje njihovo in da sploh ni na ljubem svetu nikogar poleg njih. In moj teli slamnik, ki še visi na kljuki, poštena kranjska duša, in lerno in’vdano pričakuje, da se vrnejo prijazni solnčni dnevi, moj slamnik, mislijo, da je u-stvarila dobrotljiva narava e-dinole zato, da na njem dajejo duška svojim mračnim občutkom.
Nič ne bi rekel — vsi smo božji otroci, tudi muha mi je sestra v Bogu in stanovanje je dosti veliko, lahko bi v miru živeli drug poleg drugega, vsak po svoje, jaz po svoje, muhe po svoje, in bi hvalili Boga, vkup-nega očeta.
Nak! Ne zadošča jim stanu primerna, obzirna souporaba stanovanju. Ampak so si izbrale za torišče svojega dejanja in nehanja baš moje roke in moje lice.
Pripravljen sem ob primernih pogojih umreti junaško smrt. ako gre za očetnjavo. Ali takoj ali še rajši po prvem. Muh in njih terorja pa nisem kos trpeti.
Prekril sem si zleknjen glavo z robcem, le toliko me gleda izpod robca, da za silo diham in da vidim dve vrsti slovstva. Nezaposleno roko, ono brez ilovstva, sem vtaknil z žep.
Zastonj! Vse stanovanje jim je na razpolago, tla, stropi in stene, okna, vrata in pohištvo
—	ne! Ne vidijo dobre volje, ne upoštevajo dalekosežnih koncesij, ki jih uživajo po moji popustljivosti, skratka — nočejo! Na vsem širnem svetu se jim hoče samo tistega malega končka moje golote.
In te najde muha in ti sede na roko, sede na lice. Brusi si sprednji nogi, pogladi si glavo, pogladi si peroti, vse počasi in temeljito. Potem se požene, da, šeta korzo po koži. Požene se dvakrat, trikrat, že spet posto-ji, da si brusi nogi in si gladi krili in glavo. Ne razumem, kakšen ji vse to nudi užitek. Morebiti je perverzna. In je ne moti, če stresem glavo ali roko, da bi jo pregnal. Mirna in neprizadeta počaka, da mine potres, potem nadaljuje korzo.
Stresati ne pomaga, zamahniti moraš po njej, potem zbeži.
Toliko zbeži, da se ko j zopet vrne, točno na stari prostor, od koder si jo pravkar pregnal. Ne vem, ali so tako neumne ali so tako zlobne.
Berem in se otresam in maham in je čudovit užitek najmlajše slovstvo SHS, združeno v. bojem zoper muhe.
Muham nemara ni prav, da se jih branim. Užaljene so in ogorčene, srdite in bojevite in psujejo me. Gotovo me psujejo. Ena mi je rekla: “Bati-naš!” Ena mi je “Macedonca” zabrusila v lice. Ena pa je strupeno siknila: “Bankokrat!” — ta je jadrno zbežala, bala se je, da bo ob glavo, če mi pride v pest.
Potrpežljiv sem človek in miroljuben. Prosi! sem, prigovarjal in prepričeval:	“Sestre	v
Bogu, ne tako! Bodite pravične! Če ljubite svobodo, dajte še meni, da diham svobodno in u-živar.i slovstvo in počitek! Bodite kulturne!”
No! IZopet ena na roko, ena krai očesa!
.r'ar.'_?.hniti sem moral, da sta odleteli. Ali kako sta se repenčili razjarjeni, razlegalo se je tostran Sotle in onkraj, in še sta me šli tožit svetilki in oknu, kakšen da je moj režim, in tudi ogledalu sta pustili svoii vizitki!
Te dve sta se tožarili, tačas so me pričele mrcvariti že tri druge.
Izprevidel sem, da je treba drugačnih mer, in sem vstal. Nebogljeno mlado slovstvo sem dal iz rok, brisačo sem vzel v roke. Muham sem proglasil boj
—	in sem v boju zmagal.
Tri je ubila brisača, med njimi ono, ki me je zmerjala “ban-kokrata.” Tako plačuje Eog! Dve sem ujel živi in ju vrgel skozi okno; pa mi je skoro žal, da sta odnesli življenje, ker vem, da me bosta obirali po svetu.
Najbolj Čudno pa je bilo to: mislil sem, da jih je legion, pa jih je bilo vseh vkupe le pet — teh pet je bilo nadležnih za legion!
In sedaj je mirna Bosna.
nekoliko bolje obratovati. Upajmo, da bo to izboljšanje trajno. Sestrski pozdrav!

pri tisti priliki Mrs. John Mo-vern. Z družino Movern sem se pozdravila leta 1935, ko sem se vračala z mladinske konvencije. Takrat je Mr. John Movern še živel, žal, da to pot smo mogle posetiti le Mrs. Movern in sina, ker John Movern že počiva v grobu. Nameravali sva ostati na posetu le par ur, toda Mrs. Movern naji je zadržala čez noč. Drugi dan nam .je razkazala mnogo mestnih znamenitosti. Mrs. Vogrich je odpotovala še v neki drugi kraj v Minnesoti, jaz pa sem se še vrnila k Mrs. Movern na dom. Poslovila sem se ob 10.30 zvečer, da dobim moj vlak za povratek v Montano.
Iz Dulutha sem se odpeljala ob 11.40 zvečer in sem dospela v St. Paul okoli 7. ure zjutraj ; po Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul železnici sem se ob 8.40 zjutraj odpeljala proti Montani. Drugi dan ,to je bilo 12. avgusta ob 4.21 zjutraj, sem izstopila na postaji v Roundupu. Vesela sem bila, ko sem dospela brez nezgod spet domov. Našla sem vse v redu.
Od tu sta se podali članici našega društva Miss Lillian Čebuli in Miss Rose M. Banovetz v kolegij. Vozili sta se skozi Butte, kjer sta morali nekaj ur čakati vlaka za v Dillon. Jaz sem bila
o	tem sporočila Mrs. Predovich v Butte in mladinske delegati-nje tamkajšnjega društva št. 190 JSKJ so naši članici počakale na postaji. Mrs. Predovich in Mrs. Petritz sta ju prijazno postregli. Hvala sosestram v Butte!

Na seji 10. septembra je bilo sklenjeno, da člani in članice našega društva, ki so zavarovani v vseh skladih, plačajo 45 centov naklade; člani in članice, ki so zavarovani samo za smrtnino, pa plačajo 25 centov naklade. To se mora plačati v mesecu oktobru ali novembru letos. To naklado morajo plačati vsi člani in članice našega društva, če se veselice udeležijo ali ne.

New York, N. Y. — NOVI PREDPISI PRI POŠILJANJU DENARJA V JUGOSLAVIJO. — Po novih predpisih ministrstva financ kraljevine Jugoslavije, od dne 23. junija t. 1., No. 37840, zabranjen je vsak unos v Jugoslavijo efektivnih dinarskih novčunic v denarnih pismih.
Ustanovljeno je, da naši izseljenci pošiljajo svojim rodbinam v Jugoslaviji v denarnih pismih efektivne dinarje. To menda izvira iz tega, ker jim' je še nepoznana gornja prepoved.
Poštni uradi v Jugoslaviji take denarne pošiljatve v pismih iz inostranstva zadrže in jih pošljejo Narodni banki, kjer se, po naredbi ministrstva financ od 10. marca t. 1. No. 7492 VIII, stavljajo na blokirani račun na ime pošiljalca.
Iz pisarne generalnega konzulata kraljevine Jugoslavije v New Yorku.
VAŽNO ZA IZSELJENCE: Kako se mora postopati pri darilnih pošiljkah iz Amerike Na osnovi novega rešenja ministrstva financ kraljevine Jugoslavije, oddelek carin, No. 11368/IV, od 25. maja 1939, po-šiljalcem paketov z rabljenimi stvarmi, poslanimi iz Amerike siromašnim osebam, potrebno je, da se ravnajo kot sledi:
1. Poštne pošiljke z rabljenimi stvarmi (oblačila, perilo, o-butev), ki prihajajo iz Zedinjenih ameriških držav, se prepuščajo carine prosto, ne da bi bilo treba predložiti potrdilo o siromaštvu, in dokaz, da so poslane kot darilo, če ugotovijo
carinski uslužbenci pri pregledu, da vsebujejo rabljene stvari. Če pa carinarnica zasumi, da je prejemnik dobrega imovinskega stanja, ali če dobi kdo zaporedoma več takih pošiljk, zahtevajo predložitev potrdila o siromaštvu in pošiljalčevo pismo, iz katerega se mora razbrati, da se pošiljajo te stvari kot darilo.
2. Če prihajajo pošiljke z rabljenimi stvarmi iz neklirinških držav, (to so: Zedinjene ameriške države), a obsegajo tudi nove stvari, za katere je potrebna predhodna uvozna dovolitev Narodne banke, se ta ne zahteva, če pošiljka ne vsebuje več kot 5 kilogramov. To velja samo, kadar prihajajo pošiljke na siromašne osebe.
Za siromašne osebe se štejejo tisti, ki ne plačujejo več kot 400 dinarjev neposrednega davka na leto, brez dopolnilne in samoupravne doklade, kakor tudi tisti, katerih dohodek od nesamostojnega dela ne presega zneska 1800 dinarjev na mesec, če so samci, ali 2000 dinarjev na mesec, če so oženjeni.

Lloi/dell, Pa. — člane in članice društva Sv. Petra in Pavla, št. 35 JSKJ, pozivam, da se gotovo udeleže prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v nedeljo 22. oktobra in se bo pričela ob eni uri popoldne. Po zaključku redne seje se bo pričela izredna seja, ki se bo bavila z zadevo naše društvene dvorane. Gre se za to, da bi se društvo Simon Gregorčič, št. 60 SNPJ, pridružilo in postalo solastnik dvorane. Kot znano, je društvena dvorana zdaj last samo našega društva. Zadeva je važna, zato naj pridejo na sejo vsi člani in članice, katerih ne zadržuje kak izreden vzrok, da ne bo potem kakšnega oporekanja. — Za društvo št. 35 JSKJ:
Joseph Arhar, tajnik.
Chicago, lil. — Kakor je že bilo parkrat poročano v Novi Dobi, se bomo spet enkrat prijetno zabavali tu v Chicagu. In sicer bo to v nedeljo 22. oktobra na 2657 So. Lawndale Ave. Društva, ki spadajo k federaciji JSKJ, bodo obhajala obletnico ustanovitve. Vsi člani in članice JSKJ, pa tudi vsi drugi rojaki in rojakinje, ki bivajo v Chicagu ali okolici, so prijazno vabljeni na poset te veselice.
Program je tako pestro sestavljen in bo nedvomno tako dobro izvajan, da bo zadflvoljil vse posetnike. Prične se točno ob treh popoldne. Zvečer bo ples in prosta zabava v gornjih in spodnjih prostorih. Vstopnice so v predprodaji po 30 centov, pri vratih pa bodo po 40 centov.
Pri tej priliki tudi vabim članice društva Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ, da se gotovo udeležijo prihodnje seje, ki se bo vršila v sredo 18 .oktobra. Na dotični seji se bo volil veselični odbor, in vseh članic je dolžnost, da po najboljših močeh pripomorejo k uspehu prireditve. Na svidenje na seji 18. oktobra! — Za društvo Zvezda, št. 170 JSKJ: Mary Kovačič, predsednica.

Braddock, Pa. — Tukaj živeči rojaki smo večinoma člani dveh ali treh društev. Tako smo prišli do prepričanja, da je bolje za nas člane kot tudi za posamezna društva, da se mesto več manjših priredi vsaj enkrat na leto ena večja skupna prireditev.
