RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
PIERCE BUTLER UMRL
V Washingtonu je po par-mesečnem bolehanju umrl Pierce Butler, eden izmed deve-torice sodnikov vrhovnega sodišča, star 73 let. Pokojnik je bil rojen v Minnesoti in je postal član najvišjega sodišča leta 1922. Za to mesto ga je imenoval takratni predsednik Harding. Mož je bil kompetenten jurist, toda odločen konservativec. Tekom prvega Rooseveltovega termina je bila cela vrsta new-dealskih postav od vrhovnega sodišča proglašena za neustavne in je takrat kot tudi pozneje zdaj pokojni Butler glasoval s konservativci. Od izrazitih konservativcev je zdaj član vrhovnega sodišča samo še sodnik James C. McReynolds.
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
ZAŠČITA OBVEZNIKOV V Jugoslaviji je bilo zaradi resnega mednarodnega položaja poklicanih pod orožje stotisoče rezervistov, kar seveda povzroča za prizadete in njihove družine marsikako nepriliko. Vsled tega so oblasti izdale razne odredbe, ki vsaj nekoliko 'ščitijo vpoklicane vojne obveznike. Tako na primer vpoklicanemu vojnemu obvezniku in njegovi družini ne more biti odpovedano stanovanje in hišni lastnik ne more zahtevati najemnine še tri mesece po odpustu prizadetega iz vojaške službe. Zaostala najemnina se pozneje odplačuje v obrokih. Tudi eksekucije ali prisilne prodaje za plačilo denarnih terjatev morajo čakati.
V Nemčiji, kjer je mogoče kupovati vse važne jestvine le proti izkaznicam, je treba take izkaznice predložiti tudi za nakup mesnih ostankov za pse. Toda oblasti ne izdajo take izkaznice za nobenega psa, ki ni vsaj 16 palcev visok. Manjši kužki morajo čakati na ostanke obedov svojih gospodarjev, če jih je kaj. Tako govori pasja postava. Na svetu je že tako, da kdor je majhen, vedno takratko vleče, pa magari če je pes.
USPEHI PEVCA Nedavno se je vrnil v Ljubljano tenorist Slavko Lukman, ki se je dalje časa mudil v Nemčiji in Holandiji, kjer je priredil celo vrsto koncertov. Posebno ne more pozabiti lepega sprejema pri slovenskih izseljencih v Holandiji in navdušenja nad slovensko pesmijo. Pel je v Amsterdamu, Rotterdamu, Harle-nu, Haagu in drugod. Po lepo uspeli turneji v tujini namerava prirediti vrsto koncertov v domovini.
VRHOVNO SODIŠČE Vrhovno sodišče Zedinjenih i1 držav je na svoj način najvaž- 1 nejši del zvezne vlade. Devet sodnikov tega sodišča, ki so imenovani za vse življenje, lahko j proglasi za neustavno vsako postavo, ki jo sprejme zvezni kon- ' gres, in tako prepreči postave, ^ ki jih zahtevajo izpremenjene ^ razmere. To se je posebno jasno ( pokazalo tekom prvega termina Rooseveltove administracije, ‘ ko so imeli v vrhovnem sodišču i večino sodniki konservativnih nazorov. Postava za postavo je J romala v koš, in to je, po mnenju mnogih, preprečilo, da se ( dežela ni mogla hitreje izkopati ^ iz depresije.
SE JE OBRNILO Predsednik Roosevelt, ki je izprevidel, da zaradi nasprotovanja vrhovnega sodišča ne more uveljaviti skoro nobene reforme, ki jo je po njegovem ' mnenju in po mnenju kongresa ' zahteval duh Časa, je priporočal ' kongresu, da bi sprejel zakon za zvišanje števila sodnikov vrhovnega sodišča. Na ta način bi bilo mogoče dodati sodišču nekaj liberalnejših sodnikov. Boj je bil hud in Roosevelt je s svojo zahtevo propadel. Javne debate pa so vseeno omehčale ne-
x i
katere bolj zmerne člane vrhovnega sodišča, da so začeli upoštevati ljudsko voljo in so glasovali za nekatere liberalne reforme. Potem pa je par sodnikov stopilo v pokoj, par pa jih je umrlo. Tako je imel Roosevelt priliko imenovati že štiri nove člane vrhovnega sodišča, in smrt sodnika Butlerja mu bo dala priliko, da imenuje še petega. Večina članov vrhovnega sodišča bo torej v bodoče modernejših in liberalnejših nazorov.
ZA OBRAMBO DEŽELE Zedinjene države so se šele zadnje čase začele resno oboro-ževati. Vse od zaključka zadnje svetovne vojne naprej je ta re-f publika priporočala svetovnim j j velesilam dogovorno zmanjša-i nje oboroževanja. Vsi taki apeli pa niso nič izdali in dogodki zadnjih časov so dokazali, da je v današnjih časih varna pred napadom le tista država, ki je moč-! no oborožena in pripravljena vsak napad odbiti. Zato se hoče ! tudi ta republika vojaško pripraviti tako, da bo varna pred vsakim napadom od zunaj. Za tekoče fiskalno leto se bo porabilo nad 1800 milijonov dolarjev za povečanje in izboljšanje ameriške oborožene sile. To je ogromna vsota, toda malenkostna v primeri z ogromnimi stro-(Dalje na 2. strani)
V Philadelphiji je nedavno neki patriotični Američan v svoji oporoki določil večjo vsoto denarja, da se za isto nabavi sohe generalov La Fayetteja, Montgomerya, Pula ski j a in Steubena, ki so se borili za ame-
REJCI MALIH ŽIVALI V Ljubljani se je nedavno vršilo glavno zborovanje “Zveze rejcev malih živali,” kf predstavlja 39 krajevnih društev in okrog 2400 članov. Začetek tega pokreta sega v leto 1913, ko je bilo v Ptuju ustanovljeno društvo za rejo čistokrvne perutnine, kuncev in malih živali. Po-mnogih poskusih, uspehih in neuspehih se je ta za malega človeka važna gospodarska panoga lepo razvila. Zveza izdaja zdaj svoje lastno, dobro urejevano glasilo “Rejec malih živali” in oskrbuje svoje člane s primernimi čistokrvnimi živalmi. Dose-daj je bilo razdeljenih 270 koz, 80 ovac, 267 kuncev, 192 kokoši, 58 parov golobov, 69 morskih prašičkov, 32 kanarčkov in 4560 valilnih jajc. Reja malih živali je za male slovenske kmete, obrtnike in delavce znatnega pomena.
naj bi se postavile v parku pred
dvorano, v kateri je bila prokla-mirana ameriška neodvisnost. Sohe so bile v soglasju določbe v oporoki nabavljene, toda mestne oblasti niso dovolile, da bi se postavile na označeno mesto. Upraviteljem zapuščine so tako ostali na rokah štirje generali, s katerimi niso vedeli kaj početi. Po dolgem iskanju so končno dobili zanje prostor v zavetišču za osirotele otroke. Ubogi generali, kam so prišli!
Angleški zvezdoslovci izdajajo revijo Journal of Astrology, ki se, kakor že ime pove, bavi z zvezdami. Nedavno pa je bilo izdajanje revije suspendirano zaradi “negotove bodočnosti.” Angleži torej niti zvezdam več ne zaupajo.
POKLICNI TAT V Krškem so orožniki aretirali Miho Hudoklina, starega znanca ječ, ki je bil nedavno pobegnil iz novomeških zaporov. Mož je doma iz Sv. Križa pri Kostanjevici, star 57 let in je vsega skupaj presedel okrog 45 let v raznih zaporih. Razne termine je presedel v zaporih v Gradiški, v Ljubljani, v Novem mestu, v Mariboru in v Gradcu. Vsakokrat, ko je doslužil svojo kazen, ali pa, ko je pobegnil iz ječe, se je spet lotil tatvine, ki ga je prej ali slej spet pripeljala v ječo.
Farmer Joshua Dalton v New Brunswicku je v poznih večernih urah zaslišal sumljivo ša-renje na porču in se je hotel prepričati, kdo kali nočni mir. Pri slabi lunini svetlobi je opazil nejasne obrise neke živali, katere glava je bila skrita v posodi za odpadke. Misleč, da ima opraviti s potepuškim psom, ga je brez kakšnih bratskih pozdravov enostavno s palico sunil v rebra in nepovabljeni gost je zbežal. Ko pa je mož drugi dan opazil sledove medvedovih stopinj na jSorču, so se mu v zapoznelem strahu naježili lasje.
POPULARNA ČRNOGORKA Na Cetinju je nedavno v starosti 82 let umrla Andja Petrovičeva, ki je spadala med naj-uglednej3° in najpriljubljenej-še žene črne gore. Bila je hčerka slavnega črnogorskega vojvode Marka Miljanova in soproga uglednega črnogorskega prvaka pokojnega Filipa Petrovi-ča-Njeguša. že v svoji mladosti se je Andja udejstvovala v borbah s Turki. S puško v roki je spremljala svojega očeta vojvodo Miljanova po vseh bojiščih-Glas o njeni hrabrosti se je raz-(Dalje na 5. str.)
Preko mesta Readinga v Pennsylvaniji je nedavno letela čaplja, kateri se je tekom poleta izmuznila iz kljuna sveže ulovljena postrv. Riba je padla na električni vod 66,000 voltov, od tam pa ravno prav pečena pred noge Georga* Stoffleta, ki si jo je z odličnim spoštovanjem privoščil za kosilo. Ta kolona ne jamči za stoprocentno resničnost te štorije, toda Čita in sliši se tako prijetno, da je vredna častnega mesta v zbirki ribiških

IZ DOMOVINE RANAN
Današnja domovina banan so vse tropske dežele; nekateri sodijo, da je bila prvotna domovina banan v Indiji, toda to je nemogoče dokazati, ker ljudje so začeli kultivirati banane zelo zgodaj.
V Evropi je to tropsko sadje! malo znano ,toda v Zedinjenih j državah spada tako rekoč med dnevna živila, kljub temu, da je importirano iz inozemstva. V prav južnem delu Californije sicer pridelujejo nekoliko banan, toda bolj za kurioziteto kot za trg.
Velika večina banan, ki se po- j rabijo v Zedinjenih državah, je> importirana iz Centralne Amerike, posebno iz republik Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Pa- , nama in Colombia. V teh drža- . vah ima ogromne plantaže ba- J; nan United Fruit Company. Seveda pridelujejo velike količine banan tudi druge družbe in po-! samezni plantažniki, toda omenjena ameriška kompanija je ] glede produkcije banan na pr- , vem mestu. |,
Pred nekaj leti se je pridelalo!1 mnogo banan tudi na Cubi, na i • Jamaici in v Mehiki, zadnje čase pa je mnogo tamkajšnjih plan- 1 taž uničila neka rastlinska bo- : lezen, ki jo imenujejo “sigato- 1 ka.” Ta bolezen je sicer napadla 1 plantaže banan povsod, toda j’ United Fruit Co. se je prva za-;1 čela uspešno boriti proti “siga-toki” s škropljenjem in praše-njem s kemikalijami, ki bolezen uničujejo , ,iA M,r Družba je imela na razpolago eksperte in kapital in je tako s mogla ohraniti in razširiti sv

BALKANSKI BLOK
V Evropi se te čase mnogo razpravlja o ustanovitvi balkanskega bloka, ki naj bi ga tvorile Turčija, Grška, Jugoslavija, Rumunija, Bolgarija in Madžarska. Baje se tudi Italija zelo trudi za ustanovitev takega bloka balkanskih držav, ki naj bi odvračal nemški in ruski vpliv od Balkana. Italija bi želela biti nekaka voditeljica tega bloka. Nekateri poznavalci razmer sodijo, da bo mogoče formirati tak balkanski blok le, če Rusija ne bo nasprotovala. Bolgarija in Rumunija se ne upata zameriti mogočni Rusiji in istotako želijo tudi druge balkanske države ostati z Rusijo v kolikor mogoče prijateljskem razmerju.

Dijaške demonstracije v Pragi so pretekli teden nemške oblasti porabile za izgovor, da so za Prago in okolico proglasile pre-ki sod in nastanile v mestu okrog 10 tisoč vojakov. Dvanajst oseb je bilo po prekem sodu ustreljenih, med njimi deset dijakov. Aretiranih je bilo okrog dva tisoč oseb. Nemška vlada je ukazala zapreti češko univerzo v Pragi in je naznanila, da bo univerza ostala zaprta tri leta. (če bodo Nemci še toliko časa gospodarji v Pragi! Op. ured.) Krvoprelitje v Pragi je odjeknilo po vsem svetu. Bivši predsednik češkoslovaške, Edvard Beneš, ki se mudi v Franciji, je izjavil, da bo nemška strahovlada na češkem zedinila Čehe bolj kot so bili kdaj prej. Na poslopju češkoslovaškega poslaništva v Washingtonu vihra zastava na poldrogu.
Po poročilih iz Londona je bilo v praških demonstracijah ubitih 30 Čehov. Nemško vojaštvo pa je po prekem sodu ustrelilo 18 oseb.

POTOPI PARNIKOV Pretekli teden je bil nedaleč od angleške obale potopljen belgijski parnik Simon Bolivar in je pri tem izgubilo življenje okrog 140 oseb; rešenih je bilo okrog 260 oseb. Sodi se, da je parnik zadel na odtrgano nemško mino. V istem okrožju so. bili dalje potopljeni italijanski parnik Grazia, britiški parnik Blackhill, švedski parnik B. O. Borjesson in jugoslovanski parnik “Carica Milica.” Blizu Rotterdama se je potopil litvinski
tovorni parnik Kaunas. Vse omenjene parnike so potopile mine. Ameriška nevtralnostmi postava, ki prepoveduje plovbo ameriških parnikov v nevarne, z minami posejane evropske vode, se že izkazuje za pametno in praktično.
NENAVADNA VOJNA
(Nadaljevanje s 1. strani)
na morju in v zraku. ,V o jaški strategi in diplomati se vprašujejo: zakaj Nemčija ne prične z obljubljeno veliko ofenzivo, zakaj čaka, da se Francozi in Angleži bolj in bolj oborožijo? Pravega vzroka za to menda nihče ne ve. Seveda ga ne vemo tudi mi, ki nismo niti najmanj strokovnjaki.
Ugibanja so seveda vsestranska. Koliko imajo podlage, je pa kajpak drugo vprašanje. Vsekakor se zdi, da so za enkrat še najbolj utemeljena mnenja diplomatov v Washingtonu, da se Hitler boji začeti resno vojno s Francijo in Anglijo, ker ne zaupa Rusiji. Znano je, da je Hitler mogel pridobiti Rusijo za “prijateljsko nevtralnost” pred napadom na Poljsko le s tem, da je Rusiji obljubil tisti del Poljske, ki je po veliki večini naseljen z Belorusi in Ukrajinci. Toda vsi znaki kažejo, da je Rusiia v tem primeru vzela nekoliko več kot je bilo všeč Hitlerju; okupirala je namreč kraje, kjer so oljni vrelci nekdanje Poljske, obenem pa je zaprla Nemcem pot do Ru m unij e, kjer je tudi olje, ki ga Nemčija tako silno potrebuje. Hitro nato si je Rusija potom pogodb z Estonijo, Letsko in Litvo odprla pot na Baltiško morje, kar ni bilo niti v interesu Nemčije niti Anglije. Istočasno se je začel širiti ruski vpliv na Balkan.

Lodge 21
Denver, Colo. — Members of lodge “Sv. Jozefa,” 21, SSCU are notified herewith that our next meeting has been postponed for two days. Instead of December 14, it shall be held on Saturday evening, December 16. The change was made for the convenience of our members so that all could attend with the exception of those reported ill. The December meeting will be the annual meeting, and the most important one of the entire twelve meetings of the year.
At the December meeting it is necessary to elect a board for the coming year and to enact the necessary rules for the coming year. The progress of the lodge depends a good deal upon a good board. While it is true that the administrative board cannot do much without the assistance of the constituents, it is also true that a board in which the members have confidence will accomplish greater results. The road is not strewn with roses for lodge officers, for such individuals are confronted with many difficulties. By exercising the necessary amount of patience, all such difficulties are overcome. The majority of members appreciate the work of their officers and respect them for abiding by the by-laws and the lodge decisions.
Our lodge progressed nicely during the past year. We gained members in both departments and the treasury improved with the proceeds of a picnic. To all, who in any way helped towards this success, is extended an expression of thanks.
The annual meeting will start at 7 p. m.

Lodge 84
Trinidad, Colo. — Members of lodge “Sv. Andreja,” 84, SSCU are again reminded to be more prompt with payment of their assessments. It is especially important that they pay the current assessment and all those that may be in arrears now, towards the end of the year. No one likes to see his name called off at the annual meeting as one who owes his lodge. It is better for the lodge officers if they could present the books indicating no debts on the part of the members .Today our members have no excuses for nonpayment. When we visit the bar, we are all wealthy and in such a hurry to pay as though we were afraid we would miss something. If we were equally as eager to pay our assessments to the lodge, which is for our protection, as we are to pay at the bar, then we would need no such reminders in the Nova Doba.
Our next meeting will be held on Sunday, December 10, in the usual quarters, and will commence at 9 a. m. We will elect the lodge board at this meeting, and many other important matters will come up for discussion. Therefore, it is imperative that all members attend this important meeting. Something in the way of refreshments will be provided for the juvenile and adult members after the meeting.

Mrs. Peck — Henry, why is it, do you suppose, that it is said there are no marriages in heaven?
Henry — Why, er, it would not be heaven, would it, if there were marriages?
Lodge 1
p
Ely, Minn.—All the members of lodge 1 SSCU, Ely, Minn, are requested to attend the annual session which is to be held Sunday, Dec. 10, 1939. Election of officers will be in order and other business will be transacted.
If you feel the present officers are qualified to continue in, office, give them your support; however, if you feel a change should be made, you can suggest the same at this meeting.
Your present officers have made an impressive record in enrolling new members, as most of you already know, especially those who have read our official organ, the “Nova Doba.” During the last membership campaign 33 adults and 75 juveniles were enrolled, thus qualifying 4 delegates to the athletic conference and 4 to the juvenile convention. Our lodge now has over 400 adult and 205 juvenile members. If all members would be active, the membership would increase still further.
I must state at this time that many members fail to pay the assessments when due, thereby creating much unnecessary work for the secretary. Assessments are due the first of each month and can be paid up to the first of the following month, but many members fail to remember this. The lodge does not allow the secretary to use any of the lodge monies to pay for delinquent’members. The whole burden therefore falls upon the secretary, and I want the members to know I have not much money available; so don’t blame me if you find you have been suspended. In the past I have paid for several members who I thought would eventually pay but they never came to pay up, therefore, I am out a considerable amount of money. While I don’t mind paying for a member who finds he is short some month, I find I have been taken advantage of more and more, and many members are continually behind one or two months, and I am compelled to use about $200.00 of my own money each and every month to make up for this negligence on the part of the members, who in most instances could pay but were of the opinion that I would take care of them. Conditions have improved to such an extent that I feel current assessments could in most instances be paid regularly; therefore I appeal to you to be more prompt and have some consideration for your secretary, as I have bills which must be paid also.
Do not fail to attend the regular annual session to be held Sunday, December 10, 1939 at 9:30 a. m. at the Jugoslav National Home. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.

Community Fund
Cleveland, O. — A production report that lists the manufacture of 224 separate articles— everything from flannel dusters and butler’s aprons to fur hangers and taffeta pillows—for a grand total of 45,037 manufactured pieces last year, sounds like a thriving little industry.
Would you believe it was done by cripples, approximately 50 persons all physically unfitted for industrial employment? Anyway, that is the record of accomplishment by Sunbeam Shops operated by the Community Fund’s Association for the Crippled and Disabled, at 2233 East 55th Street.
Household articles of all sorts —dish cloths, towels, napkins, cushions—more tha,n 30,000 everyday home necessities. Also some 8,000 dresses, uniforms, smocks and aprons. Part of the $26,051 resulting from sales of these articles last year was used for medical and therapy treatments for those under the agency’s care.

time in the Spring in Walsen-burg, Colo. In 1940 the regular convention of the SSCU will take place, and once the convention delegates have been elected, our federation will hold another meeting.
On this occasion I also request both SSCU lodges in Wal-senburg to talk things over together necessary for our meeting in Walsenburg. After making the necessary arrangements, let the results be forwarded to the federation secretary so that he may report them in the Nova 1 Doba. If these two lodges may 1 require my assistance, let them ! include this request in their report, and I shall be at their disposal.
Each lodge is entitled to two representatives;1 if a lodge already has a representative serving as an officer of the federation, then it is entitled to only one more representative. The only exception is the lodge from which emanated the first or . federation president; he, how- ' ever, does not make motions nor , does he participate in voting, j Each lodge is entitled to two , transportation fares, if the lodge has two elected members representing them at the federation meeting. It is understood that the dues of such lodges are ] paid up.

columns with choice
Llttlt otifl
newsy stories that make readers wish a real Magic Carpet existed to transport them to all reported events.
One day everybody would like to be bowling in Cleveland, Barberton, or Pittsburgh. In Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Lorain, Chicago, Joliet, and Waukegan, too! Next day everyone would like to attend a dance at one of these places and a score of others. But time, dough, and other things prevent such enjoyable trips. These incidents are all re-enacted in columns of the paper, and the longing to have had the opportunity to “be there”—so to speak, turns out to be an obsession. But we can only say, “Perhaps—someday.”
Nevertheless, the purpose of having such a wonderful paper is there. For without it, none would know of the activities of our brother and sister lodges, scattered throughout the nation. But with an active group of journalists in every lodge, the news is brought to every member of the Union. Seeing each other’s names in print does everything to insure the meaning of fraternal. Even if none of us ever see each other in person, we read about and know about each other to such an extent that we are good friends even before we meet! It’s catchy, that spii'it! That’s one of the things that makes life worth living!
S’funny how Little Stan would get in this mood. But sitting before the typewriter this balmy November evening, he was pouring over the articles in the paper and he thought: “By gosh, what would many of us do if suddenly we found out that the paper didn’t come in— especially after waiting for it all week!” And the realization dawned that the Nova Doba, is truly the greatest fraternal paper in the nation. For when you see a picture of the Collinwood Boosters softball team—showing friends you met on a trip to Cleveland; or look at bowling scores of your brother and sister lodge members throughout the country; or read about those wonderful days at the Second Athletic Conference and Juvenile Convention; drink in the happy times enjoyed at various lodge events—everything combines to impress the value of the official organ of the SSCU.
It’s a balmy November weather in the Home Office City of our SSCU. Nov. 17—evening— stars shine brightly, a moon is high overhead—the men haven’t donned their winter flannels, and honest! There isn’t a tiny speck of snow on the ground. It seems like a late Indian Summer—and here Thanksgiving is a mere week or so away! The entire week has been like that. Beautiful sunshine, the air a little brisk and cool, but not freezing! In fact, statistics show that this is the most unusual weather for this part of the country in 68 long years. It makes us feel better to know that there’ll be that much less winter!
For those Gophers, working
with machine-like precision are preparing for the big dance, in the Yugoslav National Home Saturday, Dec. 2. A popular or- . chestra will be obtained, and you can bet that the halls of the building will once again be filled with laughter and shufflin’ feet as young couples will swing along with the SSCU Bandwagon of fun! Place that date on your calendar! Saturday, Dec. 2 in the National Home!
Sacred Heart Lodge, father of Gophers, No. 2 will conduct its annual meeting Sunday, Dec.
10 at 7 p. m. in the National Home. Big business will be election of officers. Refreshments will be served and everyone— including Gophers—are asked to attend-
Chairman Champa, and Secretary Perushek have promised to pitch in for the first keg of nails! Plan on having a lot bf fun in addition to helping transact a little business! It’s in the evening, you know!
Turkey parties will be on tap these next ten days. A lot of people will have an opportunity to win a nice big Thanksgiving dinner just by yelling the right word at the right time! Nice way to get around the law, what, editor? Like a feller told Little Stan, “I’m a lucky guy all right! . . . They could fix it so I’d be the only guy playing, and yet I couldn’t win!” And you know that’s just the feller who is first to get a winner! Just when you think your luck is down on you.
And you know, it’ll only be a
couple of weeks and Christmas will be here. This scene is usually depicted with falling of soft flaky snowflakes, Christmas Carols, and everybody feeling holy-like! You can even see a big hallo around Little Stan’s head—especially when he gets into his Magic Carpet and takes off for the North Pole to help Brother Santa Claus make deliveries. You remember, don’t you? — Santa Claus is a member of everybody’s lodge and family! Heh Heh!
That Matt Vertin, popular restauranteur, who prepared such delicious meals for delegates to the Athletic Conference convention, is a darned good sport. His bowling team, entered in Ely’s major leagues, has won only one game out of four three-game matches. Latest to tack defeat on his boys were the strong Zup’s pin five, but they were taxed to the limit. But right after the match Genial Matt says: “Come on boys, we’ll have to have a little refreshments after this match,” and no sooner said than done. Joe Jenko, Mudge Mayerle, Frank Glavan, Little Stan sat around that same table the delegates ate at, and consumed one large steak apiece—all as big as those Lou' Kolar used to have! Tender and delicious! T-Bone! Muh! Frankie Debeltz was supposed to have one, too, but he got disgusted with his last score and beat it before Matt spoke those silvery words! Alex Debeltz and Bravy Bolka were working night shift. But there’ll come another day. So delicious was the meal that the boys vowed they’d start from the bottom to cop the league championship—if possible! Heh Heh! Doc Zgonc sat with us fellers and enjoyed it as much as we did ... nice stuff!

NOVA DOBA, NOV. 22, 1939
Rambling Along
By Big Stan
Strabane, Pa.—YOU THERE! You and your friends. I mean you all that haven’t attended a lodge meeting since your initiation. Why don’t you wake up and realize the terrible mistake you are making. Don’t j?ou know that you are just as important to your lodge meeting as the treasury itself? You are the lodge or a part of it so why not get some life into yourself? Attend your lodge meeting and fill it full of life. Make it active and strong so that it will be the talk of the town. Then and only then can you realize the fun that you can have by being a live wire in your lodge. Don’t kid yourself for you can have the greatest time of your life by just being a lodge member and taking part in lodge activities. Try it.
Important Era
About this time of the year, the most important era of your lodge’s life has arrived. It is about time for election of officers snd the planning of the winter’s social season. Attend your meetings and get acquainted with the boys and girls that make your lodge what it is. If you’re not one of the live wires, make it your business to be the “one” that will make your lodge roll on to bigger and better heights. Plan your dances and your socials and your winter sports program with the others and at the same time, study your brother and sister members to see that the most capable are elected into office the next month. Above all, make it. your most important business to attend the November and December meetings.
As for the Sentinels, November 26, the fourth Sunday of ihe month is the day for all to be present. The past few months the meetings were attended poorly so let’s all get to-; gether and make November- and! December the most important meetings in our existence and get acquainted with all the j members that belong to the lodge 236. Remember that the election meeting is next month and that this month’s meeting falls on November 20, the j fourth Sunday of the month at two p. m. Can we count on you?
A Reunion
Sunday, November 12, 1939, your correspondent returned home after a busy afternoon only to find that good old Ralph Kovacie of Export, one of the very lively delegates to the pas! conferences, had called. Realizing that a happy reunion was so close but still so far away, a big ball of red exploded before our very eyes and murder was in the making. Of course, if I had stayed at home, that wouldn’t have; happened but the minute I leave, it’s a hundred to one a friend comes calling. Just then, the red vision cleared and the light dawned. If I know Ralph, he’ll be back. And so, when the family asked me to join them! in a social call, 1 refused, I de-' cided to stay home and wait for Ralph and clear up some work; behind schedule. Believe it. orj not, just as the comma was! placed after the traditional ending, on the first letter Ralph had announced his arrival at the door. Need it be said that work was suspended? You bei your sweet life it was. IV»' with Ralph’s appearance, Atigtvd 4, 5, 6, again came into being and before the handshake was completed, we were again in Ely. Boy it was sure good to see him again. And after fifteen minutes of questions back and forth, Ralph calmly told me that he had some friends outside. Just like men isn’t it. We talked a n < I talked about Ely the trip and the many fnsuds,
; not to forget the one and only Matt Vertin, and here all the while, we kept three very charming maidens waiting. Then without much lost time, Ralph in-! troduced another from Export in the person of Miss Slabe, a charming girl and very com-; panionable person. With her were two pretties of Strabane,
| Mildred Glazer and Frances No-[ vak. But as it always happens, just when we were having the time of our life, Ralph was reminded that his mother was! awaiting and the time came to! part and head for home. And so j with good-byes lingering on, a j meeting was planned to take! place this coming December in ; Pittsburgh. I believe the date is! the 26th but the publicity staff j of St. Steven’s lodge will set you ! right in this matter. But regard-! less of the date, let’s make it a i date to meet in Pittsburgh at| St. Steven’s lodge dance and j again revive the good old trip! we had in Ely. What say you delegates and friends, Pitts- j burgh is the town and the Rood! time get-together. An SSCU do-j ing will be held at the 57th St.1 hall. Let’s be there. In the mean- i time, don’t forget the huge im-1 portance of attending the local lodge meetings of your branch. Be there and see why your lodge | does not have the title of being | the most active in your town. If it is your fault, by you not at-j tending and giving your share ■ of help, then pitch in and make! your lodge go to town. But above \ all, remember the importance j of attending the December meeting for this is the election month in your SSCU. If .you can’t be loyal twelve months, the least you can do is to be loyal for just the one month. Won’t you try it just once.
IMPRESSIONS OF A DELEGATE
By Anne Prosen
it the orchestra was playing the home waltz. There were to be no more of those fine foxtrots, waltzes, swing, jazz it meant the time hatl come to depart from the artistic realms of fairyland and depart for home carrying with us memories of a truly lovely evening.
No doubt the hotel delegates were in a hurry to get home. It meant grub at the end of the trail and who doesn’t hurry at the mention of eats and drinks.
We arrived at the hotel in a happy frame of mind, but dear diary our minds were soon changed. More about this next time so until then keep a lookout for the sudden change of our happy minds.
Dear Diary: Here I am again trying to continue my story. Gee, time is scarce out here I seldom get time to write to you any more. I want to tell you this week more about the affairs of Saturday afternoon. But first to renew slightly; Emil Zebre of Kemmerer, Wyo., and I went to the Home Office to type our minutes of the Second National Athletic Conference. We had pretty much to do before dinner time so we set to work'in Mr. Zbasnik’s office. At first we were ?oing to type at the hotel. In fact some rind gentleman from Ely offered us a ;ypewriter on which to do our work. Here’s thanks to that kind gentleman md his wife, unfortunately I don’t re-nember his name but I do know that ne appreciated his kindness. Mr. Ter-jovec also offered us a typewriter and ve were grateful to him too. The best sffer, so we thought, came from the Home Office — an invitation to type >ur notes in the Home Office. Yes .hat’s right the supreme board told us ;o use the office of Mr. Zbasnik for >ur work. And set to work we did. But vait a minute I have to see some one tbout something. I’m putting the wagon >efore the horse. I almost forgot about ihe pictures we took.
“Pictures here” such was Mr. Zbas-lik’s words, so the crowd gathered at me o’clock to take pictures in front of he Home Office. Photograhpers were •eady, people, almost ready. Since the )eople were not all ready Little Stan isked me to accompany him and the ither boys to the railroad station to ;ee our friend Cecelia Seme off toward lome. If I remember correctly, there vere five of us in the farewell party.
^s Cecelia stood on the top step of the .rain Little Stan snapped her picture. Then when time permitted she took jictures of our group waving farewell to ler. And so on back and forth we kept mapping pictures. The time started to ’ly and the first thing we knew it was ;ime for the train to leave. How well ve remember that Saturday afternoon vhen the conductor called all aboard md the train carried Cecelia away from )ur midst. It did us no good to stand on ;he platform and cry for the absent so we did the next best thing and started back toward the Home Office. . Luckily we did, for the photographers i were ready and so were the people. In < fact they were waiting for us. Did they i stare when we pulled up in Stan’s car. i Out we scampered and dispersed among the crowd. We kept the people awaiting t so we had to hide ourselves. How naugh- ; ty. Aw but dear diary we did a good deed by seeing Cecelia off.
Some fun posing for photographers.
I want a picture by all means and I got it too. Is it a honey. That certainly is ; going among my souvenirs. One of the pictures we took was of all the persons j who attended the convention, delegates, ; officers, and visitors. Another picture that was taken was for the members of Lodge 1 in Ely, Minn. The third picture was of the newspaper staff. How honored we felt that Little Stan should pick us out as the reporters of the paper. Just to refresh your memory a little of the picture that was published recently. There was Emil Zebre, Kemmerer, Wyo. the recording secretary of the adult convention better known as the Cowboy from Brooklyn; Louis Kolar, Cleveland, O., editor of the English Section and chaperon to the Ohio. Illinois, Wisconsin delegation; Stan Pro-gar, Strabane, Pa., the rambling chatter man, lately christened Big Stan. And the man of men that’s right folks, our own editor-manager of Nova Doba, Mr. A. J. Terbovec, the ace editor.
In the front row we have Mr. Janko Rogelj, Cleveland, Ohio, supreme trustee and vice-president of Ilirska Vila (I got it in again, sure Ilirska Vila is aj very popular name in the SSCU) and; ahem we’ll skip over the next person since you may all remember that it is ; Anne Prosen of Clev^., O. Our next j three persons are juvenile writers; they are doing great work in the juvenile section and it may not be long now before they will join us on the adult: page. Elsie Desmond, Cleve.; Justine' Korent, Ely and Irene Pavlich, Soudan, j Minnesota and last but not least in our roll of writers is the man playing the leading role, Little Stan of that little j town of six thousand people way up north in Minnesota, that’s it, Ely. Minn.
That was all the pictures for the day so the crowd dispersed, and the photog- |
! rapliers went on their way. But poor ! little Emil and me had work to do. So ; j we bid farewell to our friends and went;
| inside the Home Office to type our; ; minutes.
Minule:;, and more minutes that is: what we were occupied with. It took many (minutes to d i our minutes. Emil, got me behind the ’ typewriter at first but my hands just couldn’t adapt them- i selves to work so he took the burden.! Between the two of us and the water , fountain we got our work done. You; know how it is on a nice sunny after-, noon to do minutes so we gazed all j around , inside and outside between thoughts. Hardly rny people were in ; the Office new that it was late Sunday 1 afternoon. Like me st offices they too had to have a half day holiday. But I not my cowboy friend and I, for we had ' work to- do. Clank, clank at the t.vpe-| wv!1*t. At last we were doin’ What u relief. Quickly we put cur things away

My Creed of the SSCU
I believe in belonging, to aj good organization.
I believe the South Slavonic Catholic Union is one of the! very best — that I took a wise j step when 1 joined it.
It will ease my mind, knowing that through joining this worthy organization my future is secure.
I believe she will mother me in my needy hours. When the hours are the darkest, she shall come forward with open arms. | She shall receive me and my: loved ones like an angel with a b'ghted candle, and brighten my darkest hours.
I believe in her policy, in her! honest methods of getting what ; she is after. That she will never be down and out.
I believe in her faith, for she stood up for forty-one years in all kinds of weather.
I believe that you and I did! our part in a little way. But 11 also believe that we should not; stop, but forever fight forward j for her consumation, her great j power of accomplishment.
I believe she shall go upward, dominate, conquer, until she! shall reach and master her! greatest ambition, her crowning acheivement of the biggest membership.
This that she may become even better and that she shall j lead all other organizations.

Traffic Safety
Safety messages are a whole lot like medicine; hard to swallow but good for you. Many people are prone to scoff at any program designed to prevent accidents by education. Some of them openly jeered at posters and slogans intended to make people more careful and thus avert tragedy. If you are one of these persons let me ask you this question. Did you ever have to pick up a broken and mangled body of some little tot who a moment before had been a happy laughing boy or girl? And all the while you’re fighting back the tears that keep welling up and you’d like to smash your fist into the blundering fool’s face whose carelessness has robbed some mother of her most cherished possession. Or did you; ever have to knock on some door in the dead of night and with the words sticking in your throat tell some frightened wife that her husband wouldn’t ever be coming home again, and stand there and see (the stark horror come into her face as the realization dawns on her that she and her babies are left alone in the world?
Eventually this becomes the duty of every policeman and a none too pleasant duty either. If you have already had this unpleasant experience you can’t honestly laugh at any attempt to make the streets and highways safer. Only a fool would laugh at the automobile record for the United States which might better be called a National Plague—38,000 dead and over a million injured every year. Can you conceive of a situation more sickly or one requiring more immediate treatment? As the doctors of medicine w;ould rally to exterminate a pestilence, so must we rally to the call of safety; to eliminate this shameful record ’which mocks our very claim to civilization.
Progressive police departments throughout the country are beginning to realize that their obligation to the public is just as important in the saving of lives in the community as the arresting of criminals and that this can best be done through an educational program. Police departments which have in-auguarated a safety educational bureau have achieved very gratifying results and theiP reward has been two-fold. Not only have they succeeded in reducing the death toll, they have won the gratitude of their community which has resulted in a much more favorable attitude towards the police department.
Get into the safety movement. The public wants safety and they are willing to cooperate with you to get it. No one understands the problems any better than a policeman. No one can handle the problem as well as a policeman. You’ll be doing yourself and the community a favor by calling your Police Department for a Safety Program at your next club meeting.

LITTLE STAN’S ARTICLE
(Continued from page 3)
That grand and beautiful western couiltry. Little Stan plans a trip out that way next spring or early summer. So 1 many fine young delegates have | come from that way, and it i would be a pleasure to meet up j with them on their own soil.
; Let’s hear from the west more often. Hop on the SSCU Bandwagon of fun and swing! Go I truckin’ with Little Stan . . . | And before this feller gets do-j rng that jumping jive all over | thq pages-he’ll do u little jive : to./aids the mail box— ion 11
(Continuation)
This was a very fine state of af-1 fairs for most hotel managers do not i like the idea of guests bringing food in: from the outside, for the simple fact j that they served fine meals. But who was interested in fine meals. We want- j ed an informal snack and didn’t want j to pay a fortune for it. As we passed | the fire escape one of the delegates | attracted our attention. I don’t remem- ! ber who it was dear diary but I am j very grateful that he happened to I come out and put his shoes to dry on | the fire-escape. This gave us a bully idea. Prances and I wore sport clothes so we could take the risk.
We attracted the delegate’s attention even though he was absorbed in the act of finding a nice place to dry his shoes,! so they would be presentable for the evening. At once he understood what we j were telling him and lowered the fire ; escape so we could ascend. Prances and Bill climbed up the escape with their j prey while I skidooed around the cor- j ner of the building and through the front door of the hotel. My object was i to keep the manager busy so he wouldn’t;
! get one of those unusual moods of wandering around the hotel to see that all was well.
Judging that Prances had reached her room safely I slowly went up stairs.! How funny Prances must have looked j running up the fire-escape instead of j down but that was none of my concern '■ or anyone else’s. Just so she got up there safely. Wonder what *the fire- j men would have thought to see the young lady on the fire escape; surely i they would have called the department to see if she would need any help.
I found Prances in her room doubling in two with laughter. It was so funny, j I’ll say it was. Trying to smuggle those j delicious things into our rooms. The! first part was over but what to do with j the stuff. Again this required tact so we sat down to think. The bottle landed; in sink in cold water. Why didn’t wei think of bringing some ice. We could have sent for some ice-water downstairs ! and use the floating ice if there was any to put around the bottle but the j maid might see the other food and j that would be horrid. Beside who could1 know that we would get any ice on the water. So we had to just set it in cold! water. The lunch, meat and bread we; lodged elsewhere in a place where we were positive no one could find it.
So much for the party preparations. 1 The party which was foremost in our; minds and for which we must prepare; at once was sooner than the midnite snack. So off to;our own rooms we went to dress. And what a time we had. The set hour was almost near at hand so we had a lot of hurrying to do to be rer.dy on time. Finally the moment came.! Since it was time to go to the dance I looked for my handsome escort and we set off. I intended to do a lot of dancing at this Community building. But that dear diary is a long story. In the first place I was tired and in the second place—well you just wait and see why.
The evening was very lovely outdoors so we were in a pretty good mood when> we reached the site of the dance, even; though most of us were just about too! tired to move. We had done a lot of walking all day so we were just as exhausted as could be. In the first place there was the juvenile convention/then ! the Indian reservation, then^that runabout for refreshments for the midnite snack.
We expected a fine attendance at the dance and we got it all right. Why? For the simple,fact that our fine news-reportčr, Little Stan built up an enormous interest among the Elyites and the advertising staff had placards posted; all around the town. That's right west; side, east side all around the town sol everyone could sec the ad often and remember the date. This dance was in honor of the athletic delegation and did we feel important to think that the Ely Chamber of Commerce allowed us to hold our dance in its finest building. We were very grateful, and I sincere-

ly hope Little Stan who is a member of the Chamber of Commerce tells Mr. Olson and the other members how much we enjoyed being entertained in the civic building. We won’t forget it and hope you won’t.
COMMUNITY DANCE
Upon arriving at the Community Center we found quite a crowd assembled already. We were a little late but not too late to join in the fun. Bill Rupar and his radio orchestra started the dancers swaying. And how one could sway- to his music. It seemed to weave a magic spell and invite you to ! dance even though you weren’t in the mood. And can Bill arrange fine selec-\ tions. He plays the latest tunes the way they are the most attractive.
Everyone seemed to be very happy j tonight. Those who had danced or were too tired to dance merely sat around in groups getting acquainted. And did I get acquainted with some fine people. Who should I meet but my pen pal. And am I grateful to the Nova Doba for such a fine friend. Yes I attributed my acquaintanceship to the editors of the Nova Doba who published my address about two years ago, at which time Catherine Ulcher has written to me and has done so since. We have been the best of friends-through our correspondence; now my dream came true and I had the chance of meeting Catherine in person. I wouldn’t attempt to describe her physically but socially I can say she is one of the finest persons I have met in a long time. Her manner is so outstanding. She shows that she is well bred. Catherine, like other SSCU members, possesses a fine spirit of the Slovene nationality. She too is active in her organization in Gilbert, Minnesota. I spent a very lovely evening discussing affairs with Catherine. So much interest did I give her that I sacrificed my time with my other friends. I got Catherine to meet some of the fine personages behind our Nova Doba. I think Catherine will never forget Mr. Terbovec, Mr. Kolar, Mr. Rogelj and some of the other fine supreme board members. Catherine left a fine impres- j sion on me. I am proud that I am her; friend. I also met Catherine’s mother who also left me quite content that I had met her. I hope the day will come I soon when I get to see them both. I salute the SSCU, who through its organ has brought me in contact not only with Catherine and her mother who are fine characters in this organization of ours, but for those hundreds of others whom I have met at various affairs.
The evening waned so I had to get dancing with some of my friends. Though, I wanted to I couldn’t sit and talk all evening with Catherine as a newspaper woman I had to get around | and see the others.
The members of the supreme board were present in a large number. Everyone of them scattered a little sunshine among the delegates wherever they went. *
Of course the delegates were present.
! What kind of a dance would it be if j they weren’t. The younger delegates were there, too though some could bare-! ly hold their eyes open much longer.
| And how sweetly these girls can dress...
! such an array of color one can see ! through the hall under the indirect lighting. I pictured fairyland . . . girls in all arrays of the rainbow—red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo and violet. The colors blended so nicely especially the two-toned artistically flowered dresses and pastel materials. All the girls looked as though they too had stepped from fairyland. Their curls were so neatly arranged . . . flowing locks, upsweep, waves, oh most any style. The girls seemed to have a nice touch of red in ; their cheeks, no it wasn't rouge from I the dime store in every case, some of ! the younger girls had rosy cheeks when ^sked to dance by a fine looking lad. It looked so nice to see the juvenile boys getting into the spirit of things and asking his favorite girl to dance with him. It took a lot of courage and rhythm but they gathered enough courage even though some of the younger lads didn't have the rhythm. Everything seemed to run so smoothly like the machinery of a clock. Oh that clock, how time flies here, it is almost quitting time and we were just getting accustomed to it. Well, I guess this fairyland of color and music can not go on forever and neither can seriousness for here comes the man of the hour Little Stan in person. No he didn’t make his first debut tonight just now. He’s been here a long time already. He certainly can get his height under control to carry himself around the hall to spread comedy among the bystanders. . Speaking of bystanders, what is he up to now. Well as a newspaper woman I
■ should tell you, but my faoe is too red to | spill the beans. All I can say is that my
little dope about the episode can be only in an indirect manner. Little Stan ’ made his way up to the microphone.
■ Well now that I started here goes: Little Stan ambulated to the instrument used in rendering vocal transitions of
- a vocalist or musician. With an incliua-j lion of high respect for the heedful bystanders he exhibited a finely woven
‘ article of clothing richly embroidered
1 in lace. It was a pair of women’s long . loose drawers so dominant in the yeai
1830. Evidently Stan had ransacked the ! attic of his grandmatlier to discovei
- such a fine piece of apparel. Nevertheless, it stirred quite a commotion in the
r j crowd when he withdrew it from hit _ j pockets thinking it was his handker-, ; chief. No harm done, how could he help ’ it if he had accidentally put his moth-
2 j er’s handkerchief, I mean riding pants 21 in his pocket. We better check up oi’
: his grandmother and, tell her to keev her riding suits under cover. As ! yak ! before time ilies, and before we iiaev,

Posebno važno je, da plačajo tekoče ases-j mente in vse, kar dolgujejo za nazaj, zdaj proti koncu leta. | Nihče ne vidi rad, če se njegovo I ime na letni seji čita med tistimi, ki dolgujejo društvu. Za ! društvene uradnike pa je tudi najlepše, če morejo predložiti knjige, ki ne izkazujejo nikakih j dolgov od strani članov. Danes naši člani nimajo izgovorov, da ne morejo plačati. Ko se snidemo v salunu, smo vsi bogati in tako hitimo plačevati kot bi se bali, da kaj zamudimo. Ako bi i bili tako hitri in točni s plače-j vanjem naših asesmentov pri društvu, kar je za našo protek-cijo ,kakor smo navdušeni s plačevanjem pri bari, bi ne bilo treba teh in takih opominov v Novi Dobi.
Prihodnja seja našega društva se bo vršila v nedeljo 10. decembra v navadnih prostorih in se bo pričela ob 9. uri dopoldne. Na tej seji bomo volili društveni odbor za prihodnje leto in za rešiti bomo imeli še več drugih važnih zadev. Vsled tega je želeti, da se te seje udeležijo vsi člani in članice.

VROČE MAŠČEVANJE
V vasi šalji v banjaluškem okrožju se je čamila Bul jubasi-eeva skregala s svojim možem Ademom. Mdž se je bil nasrkal žganja in je po prepiru kmalu zaspal, žena, ki je kuhala marmelado, je porabila to priliko in je izlila velik lonec vrele marmelade možu na glavo. Adenia so smrtno opečenega odpeljali v bolnišnico, hudo ženico pa so odpremili v zapor.
KONEC BOGATAŠA
Blizu Novega Grada v Slavoniji so našli mrtvega nekdanjega slavonskega milijonarja Josipa Tomasinija, ki je že pred dolgimi leti izgubil vse svoje veliko premoženje ter se je potikal od vasi do vasi kot berač. Pred kakimi 40 leti je Tomasi-ni prispel iz severne Italije v Slavonijo, kjer si je v nekaj lotih pridobil veliko premoženje.
Z razkošnim življenjem je polagoma izgubil vse, nakar se je preživljal kot sezonski delavec v krajih, kjer je nekoč veljal za naj večjega bogataša, pozneje pa je beračil. Okrog 80 let starega reveža je končno zadela kap.
PRAZNOVERJE
V vasi Stanetincu v Medmurju je prišlo zaradi praznoverja skoraj do linčanja neke stare beračice. Nekemu kmetu je zbolela krava in baš takrat se je v rasi pojavila neka stara, tuja seračica. Kmet in njegovi praznoverni sosedje so se takoj nanjo spomnili, češ da je ona “zu-;oprala” kravo. Po vsem okolišu so iskali starko in ko so jo naposled našli, so ji zapretili, la jo ubijejo, Če takoj ne ozd razi krave. Starko so prignali v ilev, jo z batinami “podžigali” k uspešnemu ozdravljenju kra-vk. šele neki razsodnejši mužjo so jo rešili smrti.
