ni operatorji iger prejeli v zad-jnjih 41 dneh $261,000. Od tega denarja so pa dali samo $8,305 za dobrodelnost. ! V istem času so pa cerkve, bratovščine in veteranske or-Iganizacije, ki prirejajo igre sa-!mo enkrat na teden, prejele ! vsoto $28,206 in od tega denar-' j a izročile za dobrodelnost i $6,957. Torej so dale cerkve in i razne dobrodelne ustanove nad 25$ dohodkov za dobrodelnost, oni pa, ki pripravljajo igre vsak dan, so dali pa komaj 3% za sirotne. Mestna postava govori, da mora iti ves denar od iger po odbitih postavnih stroških za dobrodelne namene, to je za vzdrževanje cerkva in podobno. Kupujte vojne bonde! Ameriške podmornice so zopet potopile Japoncem nadaljnih 16 ladij Washington. — Ameriškfe podmornice so prizadele japonski trgovski mornarici zopet velik udarec, ko so potopile nadaljnih 16 ladij na Pacifiku. Mornariško poveljstvo ne pove kraja, da ne izda sektorja, kjer operirajo podmornice. Samo toliko je znano, da operirajo ameriške podmornice blizu japonskega obrežja in japonskih dobavnih linijah. Amerikanei so potopili -Japoncem v tem mesecu že 50 ladij, torej več kot eno vsak dan. HITLERJANAJ UBIJEJO TAKOJ NA MESTU London. — Marcil de Baer, predsednik belgijskega vojaškega sodišča je izjavil, da je treba Hitlerja in njegove ministre takoj ubiti, čim jih dobi kaka vojaška edinica v roke. Ako se bo z vojnimi zločinci postopalo tako milostno kot po zadnji vojni ,bomo kmalu zopet v tretjivojni, je rekel Baer. Zato naj bi dobile vojaške edinice ukaz, da Hitlerja in druge vojne zločince takoj na mestu ubijejo, čim jih dobe v roke, ne da bi čakali ž njimi na kako obravnavo. -o- Vihar v Clevelandu Sinoči je divjal preko Cleve-landa vihar, ki je podiral drevje in trgal električne in telefonske žice.

Ohio, under the Act of March 3rd 1879.___________ No. 148 Sat., June 24, 1944 Zgodovina se ponavlja Ali ste še spominjate, kako je vodja ameriških socialistov, Etbin Kristan, tekom prve svetovne vojne ustvarjal jugoslovansko republiko ? Vsakdo, kdor se ni strinjal ž njim, ali ki ni videl uspeha v njegovih avanturah, je bil za večno proklet in pahnjen med zasovražene kraljevaše. S tistim republikanskim združenjem žalostnega spomina so trošili tisočake in tisočake, prav s takim uspehom, kot bi nosili vodo v korcu v morje. In kaj so napravili ata Kristan po končani vojni? Tekli so v staro domovino in naravnost v Belgrad, kjer so se priklonili kralju Petru, kateremu so poprej tukaj po shodih z besedami izpulili vsako kocino posebej iz njegove dolge brade. Če so ga ata Kristan prosili "za zamero," ne vemo, vemo pa, da je velikemu socialističnemu pridigarju minister Pašič milostno poklonil službo kraljevega komisarja. Pika številka ena! No, zdaj je prišel pa drug govornik v Jugoslaviji, ki je pa mnogo prekosil Kristana in ki je že kar proglasil Jugoslavijo za sovjetsko republiko z vsemi potrebnimi in nepotrebnimi komisarji na vladi, razglasil to vlado kot edino pra-vomočno in veljavno ter zagrozil kralju Petru, da se nima nikdar več prikazati v Jugoslavijo. To je Joža Brozovič ali kakor mu pravijo — Tito, ki je zahteval od Združenih narodov, da priznajo njegovo komunistično vlado. Menda je-bil tudi določil, kdo bodo njegovi poslaniki ali ambasadorji pri raznih državah. Jugoslovanske narode je prijazno vabil pod svoje okrilje s krampom, bodalom in rdečim petelinom v strehi, kar je imelo, seveda, zelo lep uspeh. In kaj se je zgodilo zdaj? Prav tisti Tito je šel in se lepo pobotal s kraljem. Pripravljen je stopiti v kraljev kabinet, torej je pripravljen, da kralju priseže zvestobo, ker drugače ne more biti minister. Prav tako kot je napravil 'Kristan. To je pa pika številka dve. Kakšen nauk dobimo iz gornjih dveh slučajev? Tega, da je narod butec, ki naseda takim pridigarjem in kolofak-terjem, ki se ustijo, razbijajo in razsajajo, pa rešujejo narod in domovino, pa samo z enim in edinim ciljem — zase! To so vam junaki! To so vam rodoljubi! To so vam ljudje, ki imajo principe, da se reče. Koncem konca jim pa ni zamere, ker vsak ima pravico, da se poslužuje vsakršnih sredstev za svoj lasten prid. Zamera je pa tistim bedakom, ki takim ljudem sledijo, jim verjamejo in gredo zanje celo v boj, če potrebno. Da, da, Kristan in Tito! Ubogi narod, ki te bosta ta dva reševala. Počakajte malo! Skoro bi bili še enega pozabili, ki se kar topi same ljubezni do milega naroda, ki ga tako goreče ljubi, da je malodane pozabil svoj materin jezik. Smrten greh bi bil, če bi njega prezrli. Naj ima zasluženo mesto poleg Kristana in Tita torej še — Lojze Adamič. Pika številka tri. In kako se bo vjemalo, smo res radovedni, da bo tistega, ki ga je Lojze Adamič nagnal z smrkavcem, moral titulirati Adamičev največji junak, Tito, z "vaše veličanstvo." Oh, kam to pride, kam to gre. . . Kaj pravite Clevelandški župan Lausche ima zdaj polne roke dela s policijskim in ognjegasnim oddelkom, ki nočeta parirati svojemu bossu. Mi smo na strani župana Lauscheta, ker oba oddelka sta podvržena županu in mi smo vedno za disciplino, če hočemo imeti dobro mestno gospodarstvo in da vsi mestni oddelki strumno delujejo. Zdi se nam pa, da bi si župan lahko prihranil mnogo stinosti in skrbi, če bi imel pravega varnostnega direktorja, pod katerega poveljstvom morata biti ognjegasni in policijski oddelek. Prvo napako je napravil župan, ko je imenoval za varnostnega direktorja odvetnika, sicer povsem poštenega človeka, toda nič veščega v policijskih in ognjegasnih vprašanjih. Na takem odgovornem mestu mora biti človek iz "faha," kot pravimo. Tak bi lahko bolj sigurno razdajal povelja in člani obeh teh dveh važnih mestnih oddelkov bi ga gotovo bolj poslušali kot pa kakega odvetnika. Tudi tukaj velja pravilo: le čevlje sodi naj kopitar. . . Finski poslanik Procope je postal pri državnem oddelku ameriške vlade personna non grata in dobil je "laufpos." Prav isti poslanik je bil v prvi vojni med Rusijo in Finsko najbolj upoštevana oseba v Zed. državah in na Finsko deželico so Amerikanci kazali kot na malo junaško državico, ki si je upala postaviti se po robu Stalinu. No, Procope je glede Stalina še vedno istega mnenja, toda državni oddelek je drugega. To, vidite, je diplomacija, ali je mar politika? ?|c Republikanska narodna konvencija, ki se prične v pon-deljek v Chicagu, ne bo imela toliko sitnosti z izbiro predsedniškega in podpredsedniškega kandidata, kot bo imela s tem važnim vprašanjem: kdo bo govoril na konvenciji prej, ali bivši predsednik Hoover ali kongresnica Clare Booth Luce. Mrs. Luce je namreč zagrozila, da bo govorila prva, ali pa nič, dočim je postavil programni odbor za prvega govornika Hooverja. «c f Nekateri slovenski časopisi v Ameriki, katerim je bil dozdaj katoliški duhovnik samo navaden "far," zdaj z veliko pobožnostjo priobčujejo pisma nekaterih duhovnikov. Pa ne smete misliti, da so se uredniki naenkrat spreobrnili, da bi hodili v cerkev, ali kaj takega, še daleč ne! Tisti dnhovniki, kateri so postali našim "naprednim" naenkrat vzor-duhovni-ki, pišejo namreč za — partizane. Ptički se spoznajo po perju in po žvižganju.

(Nadaljevanje) SLOVENSKO GOZDARSTVO Druga aktivna postavka slovenskega kmetijstva je gozdarstvo. - Gozdovi predstavljajo veliko slovensko bogastvo. Na slovenskem ozemlju brez Pre-lcmurja in Beneške Slovenije je skupno okrog 1,000,000 ha gozdov, ki pokrivajo skoro polovico slovenske zemlje. Iglasto drevje prevladuje skoro povsod (smreka, jelka, bor itd.). Tega je okrog 450,000 ha, manj je listnatega gozda (bukva, gaber, hrast) 325,000 | ha, najmanj pa je mešanega 225,000 ha. Ti gozdovi dajejo | povprečno na leto 1,300,000 J kub. metrov trdega in okrog 2,200,000 kub. metrov mehkega lesa. Od tega je približno 2,000,000 kub. metrov lesa za kurjavo. PASIVNOST SLOVENSKEGA' KMETIJSTVA Kljub vsemu je slovensko kmetijstvo močno p a s i v n o. Glavna vzroka sta nezadostna rodovitnost in pomanjkanje zemlje (v jugoslovanski Slove-j niji pride približno 7 ha zem-! lje na glavo, v Primorju 5 ha ! in v Istri celo samo 3 ha). Z j agrarnimi reformami v letih 1848, 1849, 1868 in v povojni dobi je dobil slovenski kmet v roke pretežnp večino, svoje zemlje. Mali in srednji posestniki imajo okrog 90'? vse površine od (poljedeljske površine celo 95%). Veleposestniki in juridične osebe 10% (od poljedeljske zemlje pa celo 5 '/< ). Kljub temu ima velika večina slovenskih kmetov premalo zemlje, kajti med kmeti prevladujejo mali posestniki z manj ko 10 ha zemlje (v Julij- 1 ski Krajini pa je delež še znatno manjši). Srednjih posestni- j kov, ki bi imeli 20 do 50 ha j zemlje je razmeroma prav ma- f lo. Od tega pa je komaj dobra • tretjina rodovitnega polja, j Spričo vsega tega ne morejo posestva preživljati večjih družin, zato ostaja doma na posestvu navadno le najstarejši sin; j mlajše pošilja trdnejši kmet v, šolo, mali kmet pa v obrt' in to-j varno. Mnogo je tudi takih | kmetoV, katerih posestvo ob- i deluje le žena z otroki, gospo-! dar pa dela v tovarni ali pa v rudniku, ali pa se peča s kakršno koli obrtjo. INDUSTRIJALIZAClJA ' SLOVENIJE Slovenija je razmeroma industrijsko najbolj razvita ju-I goslovanska pokrajina. Prvi i začetki rudarstva segajo daleč nazaj v srednji vek. Njeni po-četniki so bili nemški kolonisti, ki so po alpskih krajih kopali železno rudo in ustvarili že tedaj precej močno železno industrijo. Premogovniki so se razvili v drugi polovici preteklega stoletja. V industrijskem oziru je najslabše razvit del Slovenije v Julijski Krajini. Precej visoko pa je razvita industrija v slovenskem delu Koroške, zlasti lesna, rudarska in železna. Zaradi bogastva slovenskih gozdov se je najvišje razvila lesna industrija. Letni prirastek znaša okroglo 3.75 milijonov kub-metrov. Težko je oceniti koliko lesa so kmetje dejansko posekali. Zelo verjetno je, da so v Julijski Krajini posekali mnogo več, kakor pa znaša letni prirastek. Izkoriščanje gozdov vodi cela vrsta lesnih podjetij, ki imajo okrog 200 parnih, okrog 30 električnih in ravno toliko turbinskih žag. Vodnih žag polnojarmenikov je okrog 300. Navadnih benečanskih žag pa okrog 3000. V tej industriji je zaposlenih okrog 10,000 oseb. V glavnem izvažajo neobdelani les v Italijo, Francijo, Švico in na vzhod. Ostali les obdeluje cela vrsta industrijcev, zadrug, družb in obrtnikov. Izdelujejo vse vrste pohištva. V zadnjem času se je posebno razvila izdelava finega pohištva in izpodrinila vsak tuj dovoz. Lepo je razvita industrija upognjenega pohištva. Izdelujejo stole, klavirje, vozove, parkete, merila, kopita, čevljarske žeblje, sode, zobotrebce, rešeta, ščetke, metle, strojila, zamaške itd. Mnogo teh izdelkov se tudi izvaža. Zelo važna panoga slovenske lesne industrije je tudi veliko pridelovanje oglja. RUDARSTVO različnejše druge proizvode. Lahka železna industrija je zastopana s celo vrsto večjih in manjših podjetij in proizvaja predvsem kmetijske in industrijske stroje, kmetijsko in rokodelsko orodje, okovja, armature, žeblje, žične pletenine, jedilno orodje, orožje, pločevinaste izdelke itd. USNJA RSKA IN D UST RIJ A Zelo stara in donosna je slovenska usnjar-ska industrija. Proizvodna zmogljivost usnjarske industrije je znašala samo v jugoslovanskem delu Slovenije okrog pol milijona govejih, četrt milijona telečjih, 30,000 konjskih, četrt milijona ovčjih in kozjih, 150,000 svnijskih kož. Z usnjarsko industrijo se je zelo visoko razvila industrija usnje nih izdelkov. Tvornice čevljev v Tržiču so zelo pomembne. V ži-reh in v Mirnu pri Gorici pa je močno razvito čevljarstvo. Slovenska usnjarska industrija izdeluje tudi strojno jermenje ter galanterijsko in sedlarsko blago. KEMIČNA INDUSTRIJA V stalnem razvoju je slovenska kemična industrija, ki proizvaja solno kislino, kalijevo sol, železo-oksidne barve, kristalno sodo, glauberjevo sol, super-fosfate, solitrno kislino, prašek za pranje, milo, zeleno in modro galico, natrijev sulfit, antiklor, kalijevo sol, čistila, oščila, klej, kostno moko, karbid, apneni dušik, kisik, aluminijeve polizdelke, kozmetiko itd. (Dalje prihodnjič.) Poleg lesne industrije zavzema v Sloveniji najvažnejše mesto rudarska industrija, ki se razteza v glavnem na premog, svinec, cinek in živo srebro. L. 1930 je bilo na vsem j slovenskem ozmelju 138 mon-. i tanističnih podjetij, od teh jih je obratovalo 34 z okroglo 16,-000 rudarji. Samo na področju Slovenije izkopljejo letno 1 milijon in pol do dva milijona ton premoga. Najvažnejši premogovniki so v Trbovljah, Hrastniku, Zagorju in Zabukovici. Zelo bogati so tudi svinčeni rudniki, ki jih je skupno 43 in leže večji del v severnem delu slovenskega ozemlja ter so zelo moderno urejeni. Proizvodnjo teh rudnikov cenijo na okrog 200,000 tf svinca na leto. Zaposlenih pa je okrog 3,000 rudarjev. Večina jih leži na oni strani sedanje državne meje. Poleg tega ima Slovenija še baker (5 rudnikov), anti-mon, mangan, grafit, žveplo, železo (9 rudnikov) itd. Ti rudniki so večjidel mirovali ali pa propadli, ker so bili prešibki. Največje narodno bogastvo slovenskega rudarstva je zna-menti rudnik živega srebra v Idriji, ki je za Almadenom drugi največji rudnik živega srebra na svetu. ŽELEZNA INDUSTRIJA Zelo važna je velika slovenska železna industrija, ki sega daleč nazaj v zgodovino. Težka industrija je bila močno prizadeta po mirovnih pogodbah, ki so ji odtrgale Jrst in skedenjske plavže "Kranjske industrijske družbe," ki so tvorili z onimi na Jesenicah eno samo industrijsko celoto. Brez Trsta proizvajajo v velikih topilnicah v ostali Sloveniji okrog 150.000 ton železa, železarna na Jesenicah proizvaja večino polizdelke, ostale pa naj- Spomin na Providence Heights Na tem lepem gričku znane 1 urške kapele, kjer sem bil v nedeljo, 18. junija med mnogimi slovenskimi udeleženci tudi jaz, sem bil prvikrat pred 14 leti. Ta kraj mi je bil šel tedaj pokazat moj prijatelj Mr. Gr-dina. Ker sem bil takrat le par dni v Clevelandu, s}- nisem bil prav ničesar zapomnil. Zato tudi sedaj nisem nič vedel, kje je ta kraj, ko sem se pred dvema meseci preselil v Cleveland in želel ta kraj zopet obiskati. Kmalu sem zvedel, kje je in kako se pride do njega. Zvedel DELO DOBIJO sem na moje veliko veselje tudi to, da ta kraj ni nič dlje od tukaj, kjer živim, kakor le 15 minut vožnje z Euclid ulično železnico, do te pa imam le par minut hoda. Torej sem tako blizu, da ta kraj lahko lahko obiščem vsak poljuben čas, ker sem že tudi storil v kratkem času že dvakrat. V nepozabnem spominu mi pa ostane dan 18. junija tega leta, ko so Slovenci in Slovenke iz vseh štirih slovenskih cleve-landskih župnij imeli tu molitveno uro. Zdelo se mi je kot da sem pri Mariji Pomagaj na Brezjah v starem kraju. Tako lepo ganljivo in slovesno je bilo vse—in slovensko! Žal le, da sem bil med toliko ljudmi, ki jih nisem poznal in oni pa mene ne. Od v e 1 i k e množice sem poznal samo Mr. Grdina, Mrs. Terezijo Narobe iz Collinwooda, pa z Mrs. Po-gačar (ali Pogačnik) iz Lorai-na sem se tam osebno spoznal. Pa še ona mi je zginila spred oči kot kafra, ko bi bil rad še nekoliko govoril z njo, a je nisem mogel več najti. Poznal sem tudi tri duhovnike in to je bilo vse, kar sem tam ljudi poznal. Gotovo se bom v doglednem ,času še bolj spoznal s prijaznimi Clevelandčani. Posebno pa bi se kaj kmalu rad seznanil z našimi Ložani, katerih kot znano, je mnogo v Clevelandu. Vsa pobožnost in slovesnost Slovencev pri lurški kapeli zadnjo nedeljo pa zasluži, da jo kdo natančneje opiše. And. Tomec.

Where were all the John Power's representatives??? It looked as though a negro baptism were taking place, when Ann Cimperman, with slacks and all, was seated comfortably into the water by a certain someone. Rather weighty problem, wasn't it Ann? And whose pants were y.ou wearing back to the farm, Cimpy? Eleanore Karlinger the envy of all the girls who didn't bring their bathing suits with them. Oh . . . bels. A friend participating in the program was a new acquaintance, Evelyn furk. Nice knowing you, Evelyn. Donald Mocnik, on making an account of the girls who had the pleasure of the inviting creek, counted the number who fell in, as three and a half. Now, Don, let's be more specific! The grandest occasion of the day was the mock wedding, which took place in mid-afternoon. The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Samuel Mlinarberger, uniting in .wedlock our own Ursula Rakarberg and Frank Vovkostein. The best man was our guest Frank Brodnick, and acting as usher to the excited groom, was our other guest Johnny Smrekar. The bride wore a white tablecloth tule, and carried a bouquet of daisies, picked in the meadow. Yes, wedding bells are about to ring again, when Ursie Rakar takes Frank Vovko as her husband, in holy wedlock, on August 26th. Congratulations to you both. Milly (Dimpjep) Virant, depicted with the deepest sentimentality, the Arabian slave girl, who with simple gestures of waving her arms, kept the insects and pests of the woods from disturbing his majesty. Matt Mlinar, who so wilingly made iiis inseparable Suzy, make beautiful music, for all the girls to dance to. By the way, you all know who Suzy is! Milly Erbeznik walking off backward with a prize income of the races. Of course, the race in which, she won was that of walking back vari Rather puzzling, isn't it? And difficult also. Ask Milly. Marg Tomazin winning the prize in the game, statues, with the most graceful pose. Well done, Marg. She must have acquired it from her excellent work in ballet. Initiation of our three new members into the club was also on the program Sunday. They took it as the part of sports and we certainly are proud in having them as our 'members. And now I'd like to introduce Mary Sajovec, Julia Godec and Valeria Per. Mary and Valeria have been with us already for four months, and Julia joined just three weeks ago. Here's hoping you'll be with us until—. At the close of day, just as the sun was setting behind the orange red ,clouds, a question of great importance was placed before Father Baraga. We're hoping to hear of your reply very soon, Father. And that the question referred to will have a positive and not a negative response. Monsignor Ponikvar making himself most comfortable in a lawn chair, and thus enjoyed the country air. Frank Rebol, and the two Pike brothers coming upon the outing in mid-afternoon. Just how did Tony Rebol intend to make an impression at work the following day??? His first at that, and ten long hours of work before him! He seemed ^uite jubilant at the wiener roast. What was the outcome, " Tony? Our (*uest Mr. Oblack certainly does enjoy singing with the girls. The day would not have been as gay and full of life without the splendid work of the entertainment committee We've never yet had an outing which kept us as alert and occupied at all times, as the one Sunday. Our heartfelt thanks are therefore extended to Frances Pernach, Jean Per, and Bernie Sajovec, who so diligently worked and planned the program that : carried on throughout the day. Our thanks also to Dotty Cimperman, who ; was in charge of the food situation, 1 as well as the one who furnished us ' with the kitchen utensils used. ' Thanks also to Milly Virant and Curly. The results of your untiring ' efforts proved very successful and 1, favorable as you may have noticed, '' girls. Thanks again for just everything. Also Sammy Mlinar, I know that you made both the bride and the disappointed, even though she could not swing very high. One of the most unfamiliar scenes ever witnessed at a B. G. outing, was as follows. Bound at the wrist with a heavy chain which trailed some distance behind her, one of our members was lead up the side of a hill, by her very best friends. Cruelty, no, all in fun. Saying this with so.ne uncertainty though, you had better ask Tommy Tome, alias 'Chain' Girl." Rose Bavec, being surrounded at lunch time, for the luscious cherries and radishes which she so willingly disturbed. There may have been a catch behind the radishes? Did you ever hear anyone say, "1 feel just like the weather." This certainly could not have been true of Chrly Jo. The weather was perfect, but somehow her old spirits of laughter and gayiety, seemed to have been lost. Come on Jo, now that won't do. Mary Luznar makes a good winder upper, with a phonograph. Jean Ska^nder, what makes the chills? It must have been the change in climate. Or am I wrong? Ah, just to possess the tact with which Mary Alice Kleinencic wrings out wet cloths. Wading in a creek covered underneath with moss, certainly does require some skill, one must admit. But to find yourself seated in this same creek, is another story. Especially, when one has the only means of precaution if just this should occur, wrapped around himself. The towel would have been much more pleased if you had left it on the beach, Alice, but better luck next time. Aggie Kosec, was bestowed with groom feel very much at ease, in your splendid work of Rabbi. Hidden talents. Seated about the fire, the star-splashed sky our only haven overhead, and the trees of the woods as our protection, we sang our songs of days gone by. As one song ended, another folowed, until the last of the flickering flames had bee nextinguish-ed, and all started back to our homes. Yes, a bit slower than when we arrived in early morning, but nevertheless very happy! And thus ended another chapter of a Baraga Glee outing. But this chapter vvill no doubt be re-told and quoted for some time to come.

OUTING Our CYO Group and Sodality are taking a trip to Cedar Point tomorrow via Lake Cruise. This will be the first outing of the season and all are looking forward to a good time. I hope luck blows your way! Some of our younger folks had a! picnic which was scheduled to be held at Zak's Farm, but they enjoyed themselves there only for a few hours. Why? They traveled by bus to Painesville and arrived shortly before they were expected to be picked up and taken to Zak's. Impatience seemed to get the best of these little lads and lassies and they began to trek their way to the place of destination. Instead of following route 85, these ambitious souls followed route 20 and finally wound up in Madison Square. Misdirection was the reason for the mix-ups, but without doubt, these peo-pie learned after their experience (walking miles and miles that day), to observe orders and you will never SI be sorry. Is that right, or is it right? The short time that was spent at the farm was fun indeed. Incident after incident was related by each Gt and all laughed at each other's odd hapenings. After finishing their lunch the gang went to the stream to cool off their "dogs," which were plenty hot from the long walk. As all good things have to come to an end so too this picnic came to its end. Truly, all went home that evening TIRED and HAPPY!

Congratulations! Baraga Glee Club What did you think of the outing? Gee, was I ever sore the next day. 1 thought the sun surely must have passed over me, but when I cam.„> home, I wished I would have stayed out of its reach. I had the honor of coming home with flying colors, look at the (black and blue) marks, on me. Say, that must have been a new type of a mosquito out there. I didn't itch at all yesterday, but just look at me today. I never participated in as many sports as I did then. Oh, I'd do it all over again. By the way when is our next outing?' Rehearsals, especially following an outing, never were attended as well as they had -been Tuesday night, where the above details had been grasped. The reason for this must have been the.desire of the girls to again enliven memories of the wonderful time we had Sunday, at Zak's farm. And secondly, each and every member's curiosity must have been overwhelming, concerning her friend, and what her outcome must have been. All the aches, bites, and markings, have been willingly accepted, by all, which goes to show that nothing can mar the joy that was ours, Sunday. To those who were less fortunate in having the pleasure of joining us, this gossip simply left them stunned and amazed, and very angry at themselves for not having been there. So sorry gals, don't despair, as there may oe other outings in store. 1 Trying to live up to the closing ilnes of last week's B. G. column, I . secretly snatched the following side-1 lines. Strange to say that with the aid of ■ a radio, turned to its loudest point of , volume, the Slovenian program in-: terrupted our baseball game. For violating all baseball rules, Theresa Gru-I den, One o(| the .pitchers, simply i couldn't resist going over to the i catcher, and having a few whirls with - her. Don't blame you Red, after all t what Slovenian ever listened to a 5 polka played? t Helen (Meggy) Meglich overheard 1 making this remark, and I quote, "I'll know better next time." Unquote. Yoi will have to ask Meggy about the rest that's if she'll tell. It wasn't as bac e as all that, Meg. e Nettie Jerman certainly must hav< - one desire in mind. That is to be £ - tennis star. And in my opinion, i t won't be long before Nettie reache: s her goal. Just for the one obstacle if the sun wouldn't have been si strong. How's your back, Nettie? While out on our road hike, a sligh pause of ten minutes was taken, am Mary Mezic took advantage oi' it.

But Yugoslav guerrillas have Riven it a new twist. They string the line diagonally at a 30-degree angle. When the Nazi cyclist hits the wire, he slides to the side of the road into a ditch where the guerrillas are waiting for him. And the road is left clear to catch another unsuspecting cyclist. • JAP cleverness showed up again at Tulagi. This time: wooden bullets.

Petrovcic, 28, twice-wounded 37th Division veteran who arrived at his home, 1068 E. 68 St., this week. Sgt. Petrovcic came from Percy General Hospital, Battle Creek, Mich., where he has been undergoing treatment for his latest wounds—shrapnel wounds in his back, arms and hand. "I was wounded both times by shrapnel from mortars—once on New Georgia and again on Bougainville," the sergeant related. "I got mine on Bougainville when we were sent out far in advance of our lines to draw the fire of the Japs. When the Japs opened up on us we were suposed to withdraw and call for mortar fire. We did that, and then one of our own shells fell short and exploded 15 yards away from me. "The shrapnel got me in the back and arms and knocked off one of my thumbs. I ran 100 yards to the first-aid station and then was evacuated." Sgt. Petrovcic is a graduate of East High School and was employed by the National Acme Co. before entering service more than three years ago He went overseas in May, 1942, and returned to the United States last Cited As Hero in Hill 700 Battle Courage of a Newburg Heights soldier who ventured into enemy fire on Hill 700 on Bougainville to assist a fellow Greater Clevelander in a be-leagured pillbox and then restored brok'en barbed wire (entanglements and planted booby traps in front of the position was cited in a War Department release. Hailed as a hero is Sergt. Henry A. Mocny, 27. of 5019 Harvard Ave., New-burg Heights, who faced Japanese fire to aid Pfc. William Florjancic, 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alec Florjancic, 1316 E. 40th St., who was trapped in his pillbox. Both are members of the 37th Division. It was the dark and rainy night of March 10 that gave Sgt. Mocny his opportunity to distinguish himself. Mocny, then a corporal, occupied a pillbox near the crest of Hill 700. Parts of the hill had been taken by the Japs, who attacked in the heavy rainstorm. In front of Mocny's pillbox was another emplacement, in which only Pfc. Florjancic remained alive and uninjured. One of Florjancic's comrades was dead, and two others were severely wounded. Two heavy Jap machine guns and several mortars were in position to rake the forward pillbox and drop explosive shells into it. The barbed wire entanglements protecting the pillbox were torn apart by night-raiding Nips. From his position five yards to the rear, Mocny sensed that Florjancic's pillbox had been neutralized. Without hesitation and without orders. Mocny moved forward through heavy fire and joined Florjancic. Together they threw hand grenades and fired their rifles with such accuracy that they stopped the leading elements of the Japs long enough for two men to reach the pillbox and reinforce it. Their heavy fire halted the Japanese advances and ended a serious threat of penetration of the American perimeter. 84 Japs Killed Then Mocny left the shelter of the pillbox and went forward to restore the barbed wire that had been blown out in the night. Amid heavy enemy sniper fire from a 100-yard distance he placed booby traps throughout the area. When the smoke cleared 84 dead Japs lay from three yards to 30 yards .in front of the forward pillbox where the two Greater Clevelanders had stemmed the enemy advance. Florjancic has been in the army since January, 1942, and overseas since May, 1942. He attended Willson Junior High School.

Sgt. Bogotay was very fortunate, since the crash took the lives of two of the crew, and although he received severe burns and internal and back injuries, he is convalescing at a Base Hospital in Florida, and is progressing very satisfactorily. He hopes to shortly return to active duty again and is getting very impatient lying in the hospital. It is expected that he will be given a furlough sometime in July if his recovery is not retarded by any complications, and at which time he will be very happy to visit with all of his friends once again. Mrs. Bogotay also has two other sons in the Service of Uncle Sam: Pfc. Tony Louis Bogotay, who has been in the Aleutian Islands for the past two and one-half years and has seen action on Attu; and Pvt. Rudolph Louis Bogotay, who is a Marine in San Diego, California. It is expected that Rudy will be home on furlough about the middle of July—and also rumored that Tony may come home about that time from the Aleutians (and which will be the first time he has been home since he left the country and his home more than two and one half years ago). So, it appears as if all the Bogotay "fantje" will join in making one big home-coming month in July for Mrs. Bogotay—and her now silent house will once more ring with the laughter and fun that will once more prevade throughout its confines.

"Oh, but I can't," was the shocked reply., "I've always been taught never to swear."
