Potem sem se jaz preselil na zapadno stran 1, 1913.

Opominjam vse oddaljene člane, ki pošiljate aaesment po pošti, da ga pošljete na začasno tajnico Frances Ser-tich, No. 4 Maple st., Tamarack Location, Calumet, Mich. Pre-Prepričan sem, da bo ona vodila tajniške posle v najboljšem redu. Apeliram na vse člane, da ji greste na roke—kdorkoli bo že tajnik. Dalje me veže dolžnost, da se zahvalim gl. uradii za izvrstno kooperacijo, katero sem vedno dobil od njih. Prav tako se zahvalim članstvu Bratske sloge za vašo kooperacijo in vam želim mnogo uspeha. John Mukavec. bivši tajnik št. 62. ClevobuML—Sklep zadnje seje društva Tabora 139 SNPJ je, da mora vsak član in članica odraslega oddelka plačati tiste listke in prinesti odrezke tajniku, ker bo stvar oddana na prihodnji seji, 20. aprila. Torej ste prošeni, da to upoštevate in storite svojo dolžnost. Vsakdo ve, če je točnost, se vse naredi, če te ni, se pa ne more. Tudi imajo še listke za prodajo, toda se nikdo ne zanima, da bi napravil kakšen korak za društvo in se vse zanaša na tajnika kot navadno. Jaz aem pripravljen delati, ali pride preveč na eno osebo, vsi pa imamo enake pravice in dolžnosti. Torej delujmo skupno. Udeležite se gotovo tudi prihodnje seje in boste mogoče srečni. Vrši se v navadnih prostorih ob navadnem času. Jaz bi rad, da bi bilo nas nekaj več skupaj. Pridejo naj tudi tisti, ki se nikoli ne udeleže seje. To je zadnji opomin glede te zadeve. Anton Zelesnlk, tajnik. Fleming« Kana.—Apeliram na člane društva 30 SNPJ, da se bolj zanimajo za seje. Saj nas je vendar še čez 70 v društvu, toda sej se udeleži le sedem do devet članovi Iz tega je razvidno, da se člani in članice dosti ne zanimajo za društvo. Potrebno je, da se fctflj zanimate za SNPJ, ker to je edina naša imovina, saj drugega itak nimamo v Kansasu. Torej držimo se tega, "kar še imamo; kadar to izgubimo, izgubimo vse. Bratje in sestre, ne pozabite seje 27. apriia. Znano vam je vsem, da se v tem letu vrši konvencija in je potrebno, da tudi mi pregledamo pravila. Ako nam katera točka ni povolji, jo je treba kritizirati kakor so tisti koledarček za 1941—jaz ga nisem, dotakniti pa se znam pravil. Sen? istega mnenja kot je br.

Prihodnji mesec bodo že volitve delegatov. Pri društvu 190 SNPJ imamo danes 130 članov, pred šestimi leti je bilo naa 84, toda na seji smo vedno eni in isti. S prestopnim listom sem prišel k temu društvu 1. 1928 in sem se od takrat udeležil skoraj vaake aeje, toda vidim, da naa je vedno le okrog 20 na aeji. Bratje in sestre, prav sedaj je čas, da se udeležujemo sej v polnem številu in razmotrivamo o pravilih In problemih SNPJ, ker konvencija je blizu. Mialim, da članov ■bil tvu na dé ttra.

Toda mno-pkrat sem premišljal in prišel 0 zaključka, da se ameriški Slo-enci vse preveč trudimo za za-amce in pogrebnike, ki često zamejo polovico smrtnine, med rm ko si mnogi do zadnjega pri-rgujejo iz ust, da plačujejo raz-fre asesmente pri različnih rganizacijah. Moje mnenje je, 1 skrbimo malo tudi za seda-jost, kajti jutri^morebiti nas »bo več! / Moja sugestija je sledeča: Na mnvenciji se naj na vsak način itonovi sistematičen starostni and, ki bi bil nekak dodatek dadu izrednih podpor. Izred-I sklad ni sistematičen, kot so wd menoj že mnogi drugi ugo-jvili. Kdor zna dobro prositi, obi več kot oni, ki so sramež-ivi in vprašajo za izredno pod-oro šele tedaj, ko so čisto na u. Izvršni odsek, ki nakazu-podpore iz izrednega sklada, ni kakšjen *čudodelnik, ki bi edno vedel, kdo je upravičen »nj in kdo več podpore. Toda, kje vzeti denar za sta-oitni fond? Povišanja,11 ases-lenta ne maramo. Torej, kje i kaj dobili? Jaz vidim samo eno pot. In je: Obremenimo imrtninakl (Ud t toliko v kolikor nam zadovoljujejo. Porabimo naš rabitek «11 nadaolventnoat sa Uroatni fond. Poleg tega bi lahko prenesli nekaj centov v starosthi fond iz Izrednega sklada, kajti z ustanovitvijo starostnega fonda bi delno razbramenili sklad izrednih podpor. V zadnji uradni številki Pro-svete brat Molek poroča, da znala naša solventnost 1207% in da so naši rezervni fondi močni. Jaz bi rajši videl, da bi solventnost znašala malo manj in da bi imeli gotovo vsoto denarja v starostnem fondu. Zakoni nam dovoljujejo, da lahko porabimo vsako leto V«% vknjiženega premoženja za u-pravne stroške. Kolikor je meni znano, do sedaj še nismo nikoli porabili vse vsote, ki jo prinese Va %. Torej bi lahko tudi del tega denarja prenesli v starostni fond. Nekatere organizacije porabijo nadsolventnost na različne načine. Ene podarijo nekaj prostih asesmentov na leto (SNPJ je podarila vsemu članstvu smrt-ninski asesment aprila 1. 1939), druge dajo nekak vtidende, mi pa bi prenesli rostni fond.

Vabljena so tucfTdruštva, ki še niso v federaciji. Teh je še tretjina v našem okraju. 20 društev je že pri federaciji in pridružite se tudi ostali, da skupno gradimo še večjo in boljšo SNPJ.

Iz predlaganega starostnega fonda naj bi se dajala sistematična podpora starim članom v obliki prostih asesmentov. Seveda, število prostih asesmentov odvisi od vsote, ki jo bi lahko zbrali oziroma prenesli v starostni fond. Mislim, da se bi dalo izvršiti po sledečem načrtu:- Do prostih asesmentov bi prišli v poštev člani in članice, ki so stari 60 let ali več in spadajo k jednoti 30 let. In sicer naj bi bili upravičeni s 60. letom do e-nega prostega asesmenta, s 61. letom do dveh, s 63. do treh, s 64. do štirih asesmentov, s 65. letom do pet prostih asesmentov s 66. letom do Šestih asesmentov, s 67. do sedmih, 68. letom do osmih asesmentov, z 69. letom do desetih asesmentov in od 70. leta bi bili prosti asesmenta. ; Prepričan sem, da se da ta načrt izvesti, samo dobre volje je treba imeti zanj. Razumljivo, stari člani bi bili še v6dho upravičeni do gotove podpore iz izrednega sklada. (Orednikova pripomba: Br. Cainkar komentira gornjo sugestijo v svoji Predsednikovi koloni.)

J., ki sc je vršila v Cleve-landu meseca maja 1937, v smislu katerega se je vršila volitev gl. odbornikQv takoj po orienti-ranju konvencije, se nam po natančnem razmotrivanju ne vidi praktičen. Uverjeni smo, da tak ukrep ne odgovarja zahtevam sedanjega časa tudi iz sledečega razloga: Ce se volitve glavnih odbornikov vrše pred zaključkom konvencije, to je po prejšnjem načinu, se kandidatje za gl. odbor bolj energično zavzamejo v pri spevanju dobrih nasvetov v splošno korist jednote in članst va, ker se nadejajo, da jih bo delegacija nagradila z mandati, kot pa v obratnem primeru, ko so že sigurni svojih pozici). Kljub uspešnemu gospodarstvu pa zahtevajo sedanje kritič ne razmere, da smo previdni i vseh ozirih. Vsled tega smatra mo, da je v našo splošno korist, da se poruši zadevni sklep zadnje konvencije in se ga nadomesti s starim redom, to je, da se bodo volitve glavnih odbornikov j «ecu vršile pred zaključkom konvencije.'* (Podpisi društvenih od-bornic: Mary Musich, predsednica, Louise Widmar. blagajnica.

Bo pa polletna julijska seja bolj zanimiva in obsežns. V slučaju potrebe se pa itak vsak čas lahko skliče izredns seja. Največja in najboljša društvena priredba v tem delu Kansasa e skupna prvomajska proslava društev SNPJ. Letos se vrši v soboto, 3. maja, v naselbini Edison. (Dve milje zapadno od Ar-me). Imeli bomo spet lep in za nimiv program, v katerem na srce in človeka napravi mladega 1 j^P11 1mlldllnsJk in lahkega kot dobro vinieTln SNPJ- }?** Glasovi iz naselbin Priprave sa Savln koncert Chicago. — Kadar smo pri Savi zelo "bizi", se gotovo bliža pomlad ali jesen — pomladanski ali jesenski koncert. Tudi letos smo s programom zelo zaposleni, ker hočemo pač zadovoljiti naše poslušalce. Ze precej časa pridno "ublamo" in "peglamo" (pa ne po Barbičevo!), da izginjajo grče druga za drugo, pesmi pa se bolj in bolj lepo svetijo in lesketajo v harmoniji. "Pianissimo" — "forte" — "mezzo-forte" — "diminuendo" — nas vež-ba učitelj mr. Muha, kot vežba skrajno pozoren načelnik svojo četo po veŽbališču. In Sava bo zopet pela v lepih niansah. V prvem delu bo podala večje število lepih pesmi, večinoma take, ki so narodu najbližje srca. Med temi je "Ven-ček narodnih pesmi", ki se začne s "purgarji" in nikdar ne preseda pevcem niti poslušalcem. Drugi del bo večinoma za smeh: kombinacija spevoigric "Rožmarina" in "Snubačev", ki sta bili prvič in zadnjič na Sa-vinem odru pred šestimi ali sedmimi leti in bosta torej zopet kot novi. Je nekaj veselega za teh težkih časih'se to vsakemu človeku izbomo prileze. In tako sc bo dobro prileglo tudi vsem vam, ki se udeležite pomladanskega koncerta Save v nedeljo popoldne, 11. maja, v dvorani SNPJ. Vstopnina v predprodaji je samo 35c, pri vra tih pa 40c, kar je tako poceni kot pet krav za en groš. Ne pozabite tega datuma in se gotovo u deležite. Sava vas že sedaj vabi. Savan. Volitve delegatov In veselica Jenners. Pa — Na zadnji seji okrožne federacije SNPJ, ki se je vršila v Cambria Cityju (Johnstown) 30. marca, smo se zastopniki treh malih društev dogovorili za združenje, da pošljemo skupnegs delegata na konvencijo, ki se vrši meseca sep-tembrs v Pittsburghu. Ta društva so št. 310 v Boswellu (Grsy-ju), št. 389 v Rcitzu (Rockingham u) in naše društvo 503 v Hy-soti. Torej brstje in sestre teh treh društev, udeležite se seje svojega društva, ki se vrši meseca aprila, da potrdite združenje Vsa tri omenjena društva imajo svoje seje tretjo nedeljo v me-, (Eden sli dva člana društva 503 se bosta udeležila seje društvs 310 na Grayju.) Pri teh društvih imamo Še pet sej do konvencije. Prosim vas bratje in sestre, da malo prere-šetamo pravila jednote in damo delegatu, kdorkoli bo izvoljen razni govori, petje, godba in dru ge atrakcije. Igrala bo znana frontenaška godba. Program se prične ob 6. uri zvečer in po programu bo ples. Nikar ne poza bite priti na to proslavo. A. Shular.

Če sprejme obe točki, potem bo članstvo imelo zavezana usta, ker kolone Prosvete bi bila zaprte "političnemu polemiziranju" in "strankarskim pričkanjem." Kaj pa prvi dve točki? Če sta namenjeni kot dodatek na zadnji konvenciji sprejete resolucije, tikajoče se načelnih smernic Prosvete, tedaj sta na mestu, ker lahko služita v svrho boljše definicije. V drugi točki se naj črta le beseda "nestrankarsko", ker je le "bavbav" in faktično brez pomena, ker so tudi Članki in razprave o "strankarsko-poli-tičnih" problemih na mestu in potrebni—v resnici bi to točko iskreno pokažejo smisel za združitev v masni stranki delavcev in farmarjev v Združenih državah na podlagi programa za odpravo profitnega sistema." Anton Garden« 1. Tabor 8NPJ 1941 In dfugo Bsrwyn, I1L — Dotaknil ae bom več stvari, začnem pa seveda z najvažnejšim za nas Čika-žane in okoličane. Dan 8NPJ 1941 bo nekaj im-pozantnega in z veseljem lahko poročam; da čikaška federacija SNPJ, pod katere okriljem se vrši ta tabor, deluje s polno paro. Za enkrat želim samo o-pozoriti vse člane in rojake, kajpada predvsem članice in rojakinje, da si zapomnijo dneve: 30. in 31. avgust ter 1. september — sobota, nedelja in pondeljek-praznik. Pomožna »kciJa sa Jugoslavijo zasluži posČBnif^zaniman j e nas vseh' brez, izjeme. Vsa čast našim izvršniin Odbornikom, ki so se tako hitro odzvali pozivu jugoslovanskega poslanika Fo-tiča.. Dr. Konštantin Fotič priporoča, da se slovenske, hrvaške in srbske podporne organizacije dogovore glede vodstva, kajti največji uspeh se da doseči, če pri tej veliki akciji delujemo enotno. V centralnem odboru naj bi bili razen zastopnikov posameznih podpornih organizacij tudi taki vplivni rojaki kot recimo Etbin Kristan in Louis Adamič. In nikakor ne pozabite uključi-ti v odbor vsaj ene zastopnice. —Toda ne čakajte na poziv skupnega odbora, temveč odzovite se TAKOJ pozivu brata Cainkarja v tej številki Prosvete! Enoten film JugoslsviJs bi sijajno služil pomožni akciji za Jugoslavijo. Sedaj imamo več filmov, kot SNPJ, SSPZ, dr. Andrew Furlan in par drugih. Vsak teh filmov vsebuje celo vrsto lepih prizorov, dasi ni nobeden kot celota popolen. Te lepe prizore pa bi se dalo urediti v krasen e-noten film, ki se bi opremil s primernimi naslovi in bi se potem predvajal in tolmačil na posebnih prireditvah vseh jugoslovanskih društev in organizacij v raznih naselbinah, pa tudi med ne-Slovani. S prijetnim zadoščenjem sem vsepovsod, koder sem kazal Jugoslavijo v barvanem filmu, o-pazil veliko zanimanje tu rojene mladine, kajti baš te slike so jim pokazale lepoto in naprednost domovine, iz katere so prišli njih starši. Priporočam torej Pomožni akciji za Jugoslavijo, da se posluži te privlačne sile. JugoslsviJs v bsrvanih slikah bi baš sedaj imela izreden pomen. Uredniku in upravniku največkrat kršil gl. urednik, pa ¡Mladinskega lista moramo če-naj bi bil kdorkoli. In če U toč- stitati na ličiiih barvnih platni-ka ne more veljati za njega, tudi ne sme veljati za dopisnike. "1? zagovarjaš anarhijo!" že slišim Ivana Jonteza iz CJeve-landa.

Društvene veiti starogrški modrijan in bi prej ko slej povzročila še več "pričkanja" tako v jednoti kot zunaj nje, kakor pa sedanje uredniške smernice. In kakšno "anarhijo* je določila zadnja konvencija? Zapopadena je v šestem odstsv-ku resolucije o publikscijsh SNPJ (strsn 166 konvenčnegs zspis-nika) in se glasi: "Člani SNPJ smejo svoja mnenja v smislu naše načelne izjave svobodno izražati v listu, toda v mejah dostojnosti in resnice in brez osebnih nspsdov. Kri-tizirsnj se v glssilu ne sme ome-jevsti, tods nslogs glsvnegs urednika je, ds nsnje odgovarja v smislu načel SNPJ in da brani načela. Vsak dopis polemične vsebine mora biti podpissn in zrsven mors biti društvene številka." Upam. da bo prihodnja konvencija članstvu pustila enako Prepričam sem, da bi bili take priloge vsi — mladi in stari — silno veseli in bi jo ohranili za stslen spomin. Razume se seveda, da bi bila taka priloga mnogo dražja kot so bile marčne platnice, toda stroški bi bili bogato kriti z moralnim zadoščenjem vsega članstva. Te slike pa bi se razen kot priloga Mladinskemu listu lahko porabile tudi kot letak, ki bi ga uspešno uporabil odbor Pomožne akcije za Jugoslavijo.

Jugoslavija je bila kriminalno napa a in naše ljudstvo je po nedolžnem potegnjeno v krvavo dra ki se sedaj odigrava po jugoslovanski zemlji, vse radi pohlepni in krvoločnosti zbešnelih diktatorjev in njih trinoških traban-f Hitler je poslal svojo armado in armade njegovih naivnih Vznikov okoli jugoslovanske države, da jo z železno peto po->Uin se maščuje nad ljudmi, ki so se upali upreti njegovi samo-inosti ter da pokolje vse, kar njemu nasprotuje, ostalo pa pod-mi in zasužnji za vedno. Da bi si le razbil glavo ob kremenitem lkanu s svojimi hordami vred! To strašno početje pobesnelih diktatorjev pa bo gotovo prineslo femu ljudstvu mnogo nepopisnega trpljenja. Neizogiben je id, splošna revščina in mnogo najstrašnejšega gorja. Trpeli do največ seveda spet ubogi delavski sloji. Prisiljeni bodo pro-i in iskati pomoči in skoraj gotovo je, da se bodo obrnili z naj-tjim zaupanjem do svojih slovenskih rojakov in delavskih tova-ev v Ameriki. In mi jim te pomoči ne bomo mogli vestno od-»iti. Zato je najboljše, da se že sedaj pripravljamo s tem, da iramo prispevke in podpiramo pomožno akcijo, ki jo je podvze i gl. izvršni odsek, kakor je priobčeno na prvi strani današnje «svete. , » e e ASE RAZPRAVE Razprave članov v glasilu o raznih problemih jednote in vprašanjih, za tere želimo, da bi bila predložena konvenciji v rešitev, so lahko koristne, ako razpravljamo res premišljeno in v duhu prija jitva ter smo strpni drug z drugim. Ravno tako pa so razprave iko jalove in brez pomena, ako ne mislimo resno in razpravlja a kar tjevendan, aH pa radi kakih sebičnosti ali osebnih ambici; če še povrh tega poskušamo udariti z loparjem po glavi vsako r, ki se ne strinja z nami ali mogoče iz kakega dobrega vzroka more potrditi naših izvajanj, so lahko bolj škodljive kakor pa ristne. nosu do operacijske odikodnine in po pregledu zadevnih listin ter u-pofttevajoč r ärmere, Je zaključeno, dE se mu nakaže $50 iz sklada za izredne podpore. Nato je razprava glede počitnic pomožnega osobja v glavnem uradu, katere je vsled konvencije treba porazdeliti tako, da ne bodo trpele koristi jednote. Ker se morajo konvencije udeletiti vsi gl. uradniki in kA je navadno pred in po konvenciji veliko izrednega dels, odsek smatra, da se v konvenčnem mesecu ne more dovoliti nobenih drugih odsotnosti in je vsled tega potrebpo, da si uslužbenci počitnice tako porazdele, da jih bodo imeli pred ali pa po mesecu septembru 1941, ter je sprejet zaključek v tem smislu. V zadevi umrlega člana Laze Pa-vloviča od druitva it. 398, S. Brownsville, Pa., za katerim je nekaj preostale bolniike podpore, je na priporočilo društva sklenjeno, da se ista izplača za poravnavo u-pravičenih dolgov za pokojnim. Glede proSnje br. Jos.

Na pojasnilo gl. pomožnega tajnika, da mu s sedanjo pomočjo ni mogoče pripraviti potrebnih reči za aktuarja, kakor zahteva preurejeni sistem, je sklenjeno, da se v to svr-ho najame dodatna začasna meč.

TAROSTNO VPRAŠANJE Veliko se zadnie čase piše o vprašanju, kaj «no storili na prihodnji konvenciji za naše stare člane in neka, pisnikov poudarja, da je to sedaj naš najvažnejši problem, ki ga anio rešiti. Pravilno je seveda, da je ta stvar na površju in dobro, da je to * našla toliko zanimanja. Drugače pa ni ta reč nič novega pri in bili so časi, ko smo se še veliko bolj zanimali za starostno rašanje, rešili pa smo ga le površno, ali bolj pravilno povedano: «kušali smo, da bi bil volk sit in koza cela, to pa nikdar ne gre >v goibvo skupaj. Brit M. Medvešek ima deloma prav, ko v svojem dopisu v da-Jl Fr°sveti omenja, da do sedaj še nimamo nobenega načrta «tar<*tno podporo, ki bi bil izvedljiv in ne predvideva zvišanja *f*vkov.

Badgerland News MILWAUKEE, WIS.—This Saturday. April 19, Is our 15th Anniversary Dance to be held at the K. P. Hall, 1020 W. National Ave., music by Frank Bevsek and his five-piece orchestra. Fifteen years ago this month a small group of SNPJ members gathered and organized what is now the largest English-speaking lodge of the SNPJ in Wisconsin. The lodge was organized In April, 1926. consisting of a small group of 14 members. From this small group fifteen years ago it grew to 283 members in 1941. Our progress if not spectacular has been steady and we are proud of our lodge and Its remarkable growth in the past fifteen years. Saturday. April 19. we will of ficially celebrate 16 years of our progress. In order to make It appropriately impressive as well as successful socially and materially, we cord|ally invite all ouf friends from neighboring lodges—our lodges here in our city and vicinity as well as those located in nearby localities, and last but not least, our own members—to attend this dance. Let's make it a record-breaking attendance and let's properly observe this milestone by attending one and air The Pioneers will be well represented, according to Don Lotrich and Frank Oroser. They will bring four or five teams up to bowl the Badgers In a match game Sunday morning following our dance. This Friday, April IS. also is our regular meeting, and all members are invited to attend. A group of new members will be initiated, for we are finally getting Into the Campaign at the home stretch. The Junior All Star chorus will have their second annual Spring Concert and Dance, Saturday, April 80. at the Harmony Hall.

Local lodge officers snd members are requested to see thst the by-laws will be strictly observed at the election of delegstes. 1 Special letters will be sent to local lodge secretariea in reference to forefoing explanation which should be read at lodge meeting F. A. VIDluK, Supreme Secretary, Brothera and Sisters of the SNPJ» ' From the reports on current world events you know that the inexorable wrath of European dictators has finally atruck our people in the old country. A war of vengeance haa boon declared upon the Jugoslavs, because they, believing In human rights of self-respect and Justice, could not submit to the demands of dictators. give up Independence snd national freedom and bow before the iron rule of the dictator's wilL Without a valid. Juatifiable reason, the wild hordes of ruthless dictators hsve invaded the country, killing and destroying, performing their bloody mission upon Jugoslav soil. All thst is necessary for livelihood will be destroyod and starvation and desolate Buffering will prevail among the people. This means that our assistent» is sorely needed. Where else, M not from their sympathetic brothers in America, can these unfortunate victims seek help? Consequently, brothers and sisters, it Is necessary that we help these unfortunates as much aa we poaslbly can. The executive committee haa already taken steps toward this action. It was de- cided that the SNPJ will cooperate with the Red Cross and the special Jugoelsv relief committee, if such committee will be organized. SNPJ will collect contributions from the lodges, members and other contributors and at the same time see thst these collections will be placed in proper hands and used honestly. Many years hsve passed, brothers snd sisters, since we have asked foe your help and assistance. Even now we would not resort to 1L If aid was not so gravely needed. It Is our sincere hope that you will answer this sppeal with the same fraternal and compassionate response ss previously. During the first world war, we helped generously; surely, we will do it again. When a nation fignts for freedom, democrscy and preservation of human rights, sacrificing her sons at the bloody altar of war. we must give material and moral help to show that in our hearts and our thoughts we are close to our people ecroee the sea. The lodeee are asked to bring up this important iasue at their next meeting, to contribute whatever they can from their treasuries and collect from individual at their affairs snd wherever possible. All contributions should be sent to the undersigned st the SNPJ main olfice, 2857 S. Lawndale Ave.. Chicago. 111. VINCENT CAINKAR, Supreme Preeldent SNPJ. Detroit Spotlight DETROIT.

Forward, Loyalites! CLEVELAND.—Without an influx of pew blood, a lodge can't hope to progress consistently but instead will soon begin , to stagnate. New members are needed to take the places of those who have dropped out. The Campa^uy if fast drawing to a close. There. i# only this month and next to secure those new members. It is so easy to let someone else get all the new members. Even though a word or two at the right time on our part may get that new person into our lodge. All set, Loyalites? Let's go! Wc want another Oscar for our trophy case. The Strugglers arc giving us, as well as the other lodges, some pretty keen competition in this drive. And even though wc like them, we can't let them take away that Oscar. Get that wife, husband, daughter, soi), cousin, friend, or what have you to Join the Loyalites TODAY and have the fun you've had in being a Loyalite besides the full protection of the Lodge. , r Athletic Dance Td Chairman Joe Fifolt of the May 17th Athletic Committee Dance: I as well a several other Loyalites will very willingly and I am sure very capably assume any responsibility which Is assigned to us. The only request we make is that someone designate to us Just what Job they care to have us do. Tell us what haa to be done, the time during which It should be done—and we'll do It. Only one nomination for a Loyalitc chairman was made and ha is the person who Is so overburdened si ready that It would be Impossible for him to assume another rcaponaibility. However, there were others that night who would have aasumed the responsibility had It been offered to them. The Loyalites will very gladly cooperate with you to make the next dance as successful as the last one was. DOROTHY ROSSA. 590. Westm'd Co. Fed. Meet at Yukon Sunday HERMINIE.

HO.—What's more inspiring than a rccord-breaking meeting attendance the Spirits had last Friday, which was garnished with lively discussions and great plans for the future. Brief report was^given on the tax bill that is now in Jefferson City awaiting its ■ presentation to our legislative body. This bill incidentally is a replica of a similar bill that was presented some two yesrs ago by Mrs. O'Malley, who at that time was at the head of the Mo. Ins. Dept. and who has had high hopes of levying heavy taxes on all fraternal organizations operating in Missouri. It is very doubtful that such a bill at the present time will be passed due to the fact that one of the co-workers of Mr. O'Malley is behind the move. The general public has not forgotten the recent Pendergast scandal, which involved Mr. O'Malley. Saturday, May 3, at 8 p. m. has been set as the grand finale of our indoor activities, which will be a Pep Party for the members and friends, at the Concordia Hall, 13th and Arsenal. Everyone is welcome. F. Hervatin's accordion tunes will provide music for dancing. And remember—aandwltches and coffee will be free. Here's one time the Spirits are a jump ahead on "dales"—that is the Spirits' 13th Anniversary that will be held Nov. 15 at the Concordia Hall Please neighboring lodges take notice I This and That: A grand welcome was given to our new member Bro.

CHICAGO, ILL.—The Pioneers should attend the next regular monthly meeting in full numbers this Friday, April 18, as we have a number of important matters. to take care of.

Reservations for the Detroit trip for the National SNPJ Bowling tournament are coming in steadily. Besides Waukegan's thirty-five reservations which were announced two weeks ago, Leo Schweiger of the Badgers informs us that there will be at least twelve Milwaukee-ans on that excursion with us. At present, the Pioneers have forty-se^en listed for the trip. We expect to secure several others before the time of departure. The round-trip fare will be 86.30.

A change of any kind should be made only if positive and permanent RESULTS are to be attained. whether they be immediate or future results, or whether they be direct or indirect results, that will materially benefit the whole. There is no logic in making a change merely to satisfy the ego of any person. There can be ^ quarrel with the founders of our organisation tor the name adopted thirty seven years ago. Then it was i practical name, for their field for agitation was confined to those of the Slsv race, and particularly the Slovene immigrants. Witness, for example, the by-taws of 1933 on "New Candidates". And the strongest admission that they made reservations for change is the present qualifications for members, "Any white male oc female person, ! etc., etc.", a change made at the 1937 convention. It appears logical to believe that the change in 1937 was made because the convention believed that to guarantee continuity and progress, our channels for number of members was present and the following officers were elected: Olgs Gorup. pres.; Franees Zorman, vice-pres.; Dorothy Ksrun, treas.; Vers Semec, fin.

For the first time since our organization almost eleven years ago, we have the required number of adult members to assure us a delegate at convention without merging. Four years ago our adult membership was less thsn ninety; st the last meeting the secretary reported an adult membership of 134. There was a greater increase in the juvenile membership during that period. , , Change Our Name? Several weeks ago this writer expressed in Prosyeta the wisdom of a change in name for our organization. It was done, first, to stimulate thought for a new name in view of a possible merger of SNPJ and SS-PZ; and, second, because the writfr sincerely believes that a proper change would be a definite advantage io the continued success and growth of our organization The first purpose has been served, not adequately, but a beginning for an open discussion has been made, and others are invited to join the debate.

The 1937 decision was real, practical, and full of good sense. The question might properly be asked if we need to go further than the 1937 decision and change our name, even to exclurfo "Slovene or its counterpart, as aid one Slo vene fraternal, thus sacrificing our Slovene identity. A decision would have to be made between sentimentalise and practicalism.

We wish to repeat that it is not necessary to belong to the Westmoreland Federstion to enter s lodge team in the league. Surely there ought to be some lodges interested enough to have softball teams represent them. What do you say, Yukon, Pipetown snd others? JOHN L. POVIRK, 730. Integrity Broadcast CHICAGO.—The Integrity lodge is sending one man team to the 0th SNPJ National Bowling tournament which will be held in Detroit on May 2-3-4. We wish the Detroit ESL'a much success, and we hope they'll not forget to attend the next Midwest Athletic league tournament. Our snnusl Fall Dance is scheduled for Nov. 8 at the Harmony hall. The Secretary of the Integrity lodge is sdvising all members who sre not insured in the E claas that they should do so st onoe, particularly thoae who are in the A claas; the former is the 20-year paid-up certificate. About 70% of our lodge members are in this class. Our Juvenile department has seven members in-the endowment class, that is seven out of those who became members since July 1037; 20 are in the endowment class. We believe that this is a good record for the Integrity. The Secretary of thp | Integrity lodge has read the minutes of the Supreme Board meeting with great interest, and has s few comments to offer. The 20-year endowment plan is one thing which the Society must put in prsctice, not from the point which Bro. Vider makes an effort to ahow it, but rather from the point that the public demands l\, no matter what its coat. If Bro. Vider would make a little campsign of his own, he would agree with Bro. D. Lotrich that he is right snd thst we must hsve this type of Insurance —even if we have it only for the purpose of advertising the Society. The members who go out and secure new members must face this very much sdvertised plan—the 20-year endowment plan. We live in an era when the public demanda its full share from the money It earna from ita daily labor. In regard to the Juvenile endowment plan. Certainly It failed^ Why? Let's not blame the membership. Thoae who are active in the Juvenile Campaign In sseuring new Juvenile members also must work evenings Millions of dollsrs is being Spent for advertising by the old line insurance coartpenies and by their paid high-pressure agents. I think 400 members is better than nothing. Bro Vider. The number of 400 such certificates In the in surance companies would represent more pant out for securing them than It was paid out by the SNPJ. I think that this matter should be given due consideration. The hospitalisation plan Again Bro. Vider downed e Very good plan which was proposed by Bio D. Lotrich. This plan is not racketeering affair in the state of Illinois, or in any other state with good insurance laws. This plan the best for the working class of people who cannot pay the bills when they come all of a sudd But they can pay the few dollars that cost each family so protected. (My family is protected by such plan and already made use of it) Let it be understood that X am not l»oosting Bro.
