Na južni fronti dosegli veliko zmago
Rusi ponovno zavzeli mesto Rostov in pognali nazije baje 69 milj daleč nazaj. — Poročila o stanju na fronti pred Moskvo si nasprotujejo. — Upanje na Anglijo.
London, Anglija. — Položaj na vzhodnem bojišču se je zadnje dni za Ruse vidno izboljšal, kajti ne samo, da nimajo Nemci nikakih znatnejših uspehov s svojo veliko ofenzivo na fronti pred Moskvo, marveč so bili povrhu še prisiljeni k prav občutnemu umiku na južnem delu fronte, pri mestu Rostov.
Ta umik pri Rostovu pomeni za Rus* brez dvoma največjo zmago, kar so jih še dosegli tekom cele sedanje vojne, Nemški umik se je pričer v soboto in tedaj je ruska armad ponovno zasedla Rostov, na kar je nadaljevala s svojim prodiranjem,.da-je do ponedeljka pognala Nemce do

PETAIN IN G0E-I! RINGV SEJI
Od razgovorov odviai nadaljnja usoda Francije.
Vichy, Francija. — Med Pe-tainom in nemškim maršalom Goeringom se je vršil ta ponedeljek sestanek, na katerega je s pozornostjo gledala ne samo Francija, marveč cela Evropa. S Petainom je odšel na kraj sestanka, nekje v zasedenem delu Francije, tudi Darlan. Glavna točka razgovorov je bilo brez dvoma vprašanje, kako daleč je Pe-, tain pri volji, da Francija so-meetu M ari a pol,	d«*uje z ostačero. Napoved o-
POGAJANJA, DA SE PREPREČI STAVKA
Washington, D. C. — Tako-rekoč v zadnjem trenotku so se vršila tekom sobote in ne-delelje intenzivna pogajanja, da se prepreči grozeča stavka železničarjev, ki je proglašena, da se prične prihodnje nedeljo. Kot se je v nedeljo zvečer objavilo, je upanje, du bo prišlo do sprave češ, da so zastopniki železničarjev stavili nove predi ki utegnejo biti sprejemljivi za železniška družbe. V ponedeljek se je izid pogajanj predložil predsedniku Roo^eveltu.
AMERIŠKI PILOTI IN LETALA BRANIJO KITAJSKO
Manila, Filipini. — V najkrajšem času bo bramba važne Burma ceste poverjena a meriškim pilotom, kot se je ta ponedeljek razodelo tukaj. Ti ameriški piloti bodo imeli tudi letala in opremo ameriškega izdelka,* vendar pa ne bodo poslovali neodvisno, marveč bodo tvorili del kitajske zračne

KANADA DOLOČILA "STROP" CENAM
Ottawa, Ont. — Posebni oci-bor, ki je bil poverjen, da prepreči inflacijo, je zadnjo ne-
deljo objavil, da s prihod-dar pa obenem priznavajo ti) njim dnem, s 1, decembrom, govorniki, da jih ruske sile naj stopa v veljavo nova odločba,
s katero se uspostavlja vladna kontrola nad cestami. Določila se je najvišja meja, preko katere cene ne smejo seči, in za ta 'strop" so se vzele za podlago ene, ki so veljale v dobi od 15. sept, do 11. oktobra.
tistem delu fronte nadkrilju-jejo, češ, da imajo množino tankov in aeroplanov, obenem pa, da jim znatno pomagajo geurilniki zadaj za nemško fronto.
O fronti pred Moskvo pravi nemško poročilo, da divja tamkaj nova velika bitka in, da nazijske sile počasi zožujejo polkrog okoli mesta ter potiskajo Ruse nazaj. Rusi pa trdijo ravno rasprotno, namreč, da se tudi pred Moskvo položaj za nje izboljšuje, češ, da so s stalnimi protinapadi vrgli nazije na več točkah nazaj.
Razveseljivo poročilo o ponovnem zavzetju Rostova je dalo rusko poveljstvo objaviti vsemu vojaštvu širom preko cele dolge fronte, da mu s tem vlije novega junaštva in odpornosti. Rusi se sicer ogibajo prevelikih upov, kajti vedo, da je položaj še vedno skrajno nevaren, zlasti pred Moskvo, vendar s skorajšnjo gotovostjo pričakujejo, da utegne priti do preobrata v doglednem času. Zlasti stavijo nade na Britanijo, češ, da bo ta z otvarjanjem novih front drugje zaposlila nazije in s tem zmanjšala pritisk na Rusijo. 2e zdaj, kakor pravijo, se o-paža, da je nemška zračna sila znatno slabša, ko je moralo iti dosti ^aeroplanov v Libijo. Sploh posveča Rusija veliko pozornost razvoju v Libiji in obenem upa, da bo mogla Anglija kmalu otvoriti fronto tudi v zapadni Evropi.

STALIN SE ZAHVALIL ANGLIJI ZA TANKE
Glasgow, Škotska. — Minister za zaloge Beaverbrook je zadnjo nedeljo na nekem zborovanju prečital brzojavko od Stalina, v kateri je ta izrazil zahvalo za aeorplane in tanke, ki jih je ruska armada prejela od Anglije. Nekateri od njih so že v akciji na fronti, pravi brzojavka in dostavlja, da se poveljniki zadovoljivo izražajo o njih. Dodal pa je Stalin, da bi rad videl, ako bi pošiljala Anglija manj različnih vrst tega materijala, češ, da bi bilo s tem za Ruse zelo olajšano.

DELAVSKI VODITELJ GOVORIL BANKIRJEM . L
Hollywood, Cal. — Zadnjo nedeljo se je pripetil tukaj nenavaden dogodek, ki menda nima para v celi ameriški zgodovini, namreč, da bi kak delavski voidtelj nastopil kot govornik na zborovanju veleba-nkirjev. Ta voditelj je bil Wm. Green, predsednik delavske federacije in govoril je na konvenciji zveze investacijskih bankirjev. Kakor je iz njegovega govora razvidno, je storil ta korak, ker se resno boji, da grozi v Ameriki enaka nevarnost kapitalu in delavstvu, da izgubita svoje pravice svobodnega poslovanja. _
KRATKE VESTI

—	Berlin, Nemega. — Pred par dnevi se je pripeljal v Nemčijo celi vlak delavcev iz Španije, ki bddo zaposleni, kakor delavstvo iz drugih evropskih držav, na polju in v vojni industriji Rakuna se, da
Washington, D. C. — Proti pričakovanju sta oba tu kajšnja zastapnika Japonske, namreč posebni odposlanec Kurusu in poslanik Nomura, stopila z državnim tajnikom Hullom ta ponedeljek v nova pogajanja. Pričakuje se, da bosta obiskala tudi predsednika Roosevelta, ki se je ravno zaradi tega kritičnega stanja z Japonsko vrnil s svojih počitnic iz Warm Springs, Ga., v Washington v ponedeljek, en dan prej, kakor je prvotno nameraval.

Zurich, 1>vica, 23. nov. — (ONA). — Kolikor je mogoče dosedaj dognati, se je 'italijanska' Hrvatska naenkrat spremenila v pravo kolonijo Nemčije. Tako je vsaj soditi iz hrvatskih vladnih odredb, ki so te dni izšle v Zagrebu. Te odredbe namreč podeljujejo nemški manjšini na Hrvatskem posebne pred-pravice, ki so tako obširne, da po svojem značaju, naravnost osmešijo italijanski vpliv vladanja v Hrvatski, kot so si ga zamislili Italijani.

V aprilu 1929 sta voditelja hrvatskih nespravljivih nacionalistov, osnovanih na strahovladi vstasev, pristopila zloglasni bolgarsko-makedonski teroristični organizaciji "IMBRO". Toda bolgarska vlada je proti terorju ostro nastopila in Pave-liča izgnala. Pozneje je Pavelie našel zavetje v Turinu, kjer je dolga leta pripravljal številna terorska dela v Franciji, Avstri-ji,NemČiji in zlasti v Jugoslaviji S Hitlerjevo in Mussolinijc-vo pomočjo so se izpolnile dr.

Nemški jezik postane poleg hrvatskega jezika uradni jezik v kateremkoli okraju, kjer prebiva več kakor 20 odstotkov nemškega prebivalstva. Uradne objave v takih okrajih morajo biti v takih krajih ulični napisi in napisi na javnih poslopjih v nemškem in hrvatskem jeziku.
Okraji, kjer nemško prebivalstvo, šteje 51 odstotkov ali več, so Nemci po tej vladni odredbi upravičeni, da si izvolijo nemškega župana in nemško občinsko, mestno, ali okrajno u-pravo' ter svojega posebnega zastopnika v državnem zboru.

Različni kulturni vplivi
24. novembra se je naznanila združitev s Srbijo. 1. deecmbra 1918. se je svečano razglasila nova država Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev. Dr. Trumbič, ki je 29. julija 1917. podpisal krfsko izjavp, ki je na njeni podlagi nastala in se Utrdila nova zveza, je postal tedaj prvi zunanji "minister nove države.
Čeprav je večkrat prišlo do nesporazumov med Srbi in Hr vati, je večina Hrvatov za sodelovanje s Srbi. Prej nikdar niso bili združeni. Ta dva naroda sta se razvijala v ifasprotnih smereh. Srbi so se približali vzhodni bizantinski kulturi, Hrvati pa zahodni, rimsko katoliški civilizaciji. Srbi so bili dolgo časa pod turško oblastjo, dočim so Hrva-

London, (BBC-JOO) — Znani angleški časnikar g.

Zatem je poudaril, naj Srbi, Hrvati in Slovenki ne nasedajo Italijanom in Nemcem, ki jih žele uničiti a tem, da jih poskušajo spraviti drugega proti drugemu. Končal je z besedami:
"Anglija pošilja svoje prisrčne pozdrave vsem Jugoslovanom, ki se tako junaško borijo proti svojim krvnikom!"

Glede vseslovanskega I kongresa
Vodstvo za vseslovanski kongres naj nikar ne odneha, če ima kai hrbtenice in pa prave nesebične ljubezni do slovanstva. Naj ne gleda, kako številen bo kongres, ampak na to, koliko bo ljubezni in pa pravega nesebičnega razumevanja za slovanstvo med Slovani. Posebno na to naj gleda, da se snide na tem kongresu slovanska inteligenca, katera se mora postaviti v prve vrste in naj začne voditi v pravo smer.	*
Seveda brez borbe pa ne bo. Angeljčki Slovani nismo, najmanj, kadar se zbiramo za gradnjo lastne hiše. Ampak ne strašimo se bojev. Boj med slabim in dobrim bo dokler bo stal svet. In le hrabri, odločni in neustrašeni bodo vzdržali.
Naprej za boljši slovanski svet. Borbe nas strašiti ne smejo!
Vseslovanski kongres, ki je bil sklican za dneve 21.— 23. novembra, je bil par dni pred datumom preklican. Ta preklic vseslovanskega kongresa je na slovansko čuteče elemente uplival porazno.
Seveda, vseslovanski kongres bi bil nekaj velikega — bil bi kolos, kakor je kolos ves slovanski svet, kolikor ga je. Kdo ga naj pravilno razume? Najbrže nihče. Samo to vemo, da je pred nami, da reprezentira ogromnost, ki ji ni para. Kak'o to ogromnost povezati v trdno celoto, da bi res nekaj pomenila, je tako ogromna naloga, da so se že mnogi preie in se še sedaj strašijo tega lotiti. Je pa in bo ostala v ideji vseslovanstva tista magnetična osrednja točka, ki bo vedno vlekla slovanska srca proti svoji sredini, kakor kažejo magnetične igle proti severnemu tečaju.
Tragično je, da so v telo tega slovanskega kolosa in-jektirali Slovanom sovražni elementi toliko vsestranskega strupa. Ta orjak je kakor omoten, kakor bi se šele prebujal po težki in veliki operaciji in gleda, da se znajde, kje se nahaja. Nikoli v zgodovini ni potreboval bolj-kakor sedaj modrih in previdnih voditeljev. Teh je pa tako malo. Izkušeni vodžtaljfcstf bas v zadnji dobi pomrli Mlajše je kruta usoda sedanje vojne razgnala na vse vetrove in se shajajo po tujih krajih kakor razgnani osamljeni golobi. Največja masa Slovanov, ki so še svobodni, se nahaja zdaj v tem novem svetu Ameriki. In ta masa je poklicana, da stopi v ospredje in stori vse kar se storiti da za slovanstvo v danih razmerah. Zgodovina bo zahtevala od ameriških Slovanov odgovor prej ali slej: kaj ste storift za svoje zasužnjene brate v Evropi?
Iz tega stališča je bil vseslovanski kongres popolnoma na mestu. In tisti, ki so ga preklicali, niso ravnali prav! Izgovori, da se niso nekatere organizacije priglasile, niso dovolj tehtni. Slovanski kongres bi se moral vršiti, pa magari bi bilo zraven samo pet Slovanov. Takega prepričanja smo mi. In prepričani smo, da smo v pravem. •
Nam se zdi, da nepravilnost v pripravljanju tega vseslovanskega shoda je bila v tem, ker so oni,* ki so pripravljali vseslovanski shod gledali lia shod z vse drugega gledišča, kakor bi pa morali. Zdi se nam in upamo, da se ne motimo, da voditelji pripravljanja so šli le za tem, da pokažejo na zunaj nekaj številnega, na duhovno in idejno stran shoda so pa pozabljali.
Med slovanskimi skupinami v Ameriki je napačno to stališče, da se z vsemi takimi skupnimi nastopi hoče le pokazati ameriškim politikom, koliko nas je. Saj ne bo prehudo zapisano, če povemo, da razne skupine hočejo le dobiti pri raznih politikih neki upliv, neko priznanje za politične patronaže itd. To je sicer do gotove meje na mestu, ni pa-na mestu kadar gre za ideje, kadar gre za to, da se poživi tako idejo, kakor je vseslovanstvo. V takih zadevah pa peščica premišljenih in bistrih inteligentov doseže več, kakor pa vsi tisoče, ki pridejo na shod. In iz tega gledišča mi povdarjamo, da če bi prišlo le pet Slovanov skupaj, pa bi tisti bili zavedni in se zavedali kaj je njihova naloga v tej tragični krizi slovanstva, pa bi bilo nekaj velikega. Ze to, če bi voditelji prišli do pravega razumevanja, kaj je potreba napraviti, da se slovanstvo prebudi, bi bil največji uspeh, kar bi se ga moglo želeti ob'ta-kem shodu.	:fOV 5
Vsa predbacivania od gotovih strani, češ, da so se za tem kongresom zbirali komunisti in razni radikalni elementi, so mogoče delno resnična. Ampak ni pa to zadostni vzrok, da smo pasivni do vseslovanskega kongresa. Tisti, ki so za zdravo slovanstvo bi morali biti vsled tega še toliko bolj aktivni, da bi njihove ideje prodrle v ospredje in nadomestile vse, kar ni slovanskega, odroma, kar je elovanstvu kvarno in škodljivo. Ne pa ostajati doma in se izogibati delu. Če je slovanska hiša tak Avgijev hlev, je dolžnost nas Slovanov, da ga uredimo in očistimo. Naše delo bo to. Tujci ga bodo nam le še bolj zmešali in za-mazali, ker je tako v njihovem interesu.
! DETROITSKI ROJAKI ZA
POMOČ DOMOVINCEM
Detroit, Mich.
Grozodejstva, ki se danes dogajajo v okupiranih državah po zverinskih nazijih, je po njih Jugoslavija najbolj prizadeta. Gruda, na kateri nam je tekla zibelka, je prepojena z nedolžno krvjo, človeka katr mraz pr^trese^, ko sliši po radiju, ali, se pogovarja s prijateljem ali skupino znancev, kako zverinsko postopajo z našimi starši, brati in sestrami. Ni dovolj, da jih zverine v človeški koži streljajo, obešajo in na druge načine mučijo, muči jih tudi glad in mraz ter neprestani strah, da se zverina priklati izza vogala, da jih odtrga od svojcev in brez usmiljenja pretepe, potegne na drevo ali pa ustreli.
Vsega tega se Slovenci v Detroitu zavedamo. Nemogoče je pa tem revežem v domovini nuditi takojšno pomoč. Zate smo si nadeli nalogo, da bomo zbirali pjri dobrih srcih staro in tudi novo "obleko in obuvalo. Naprošeni ste vsi, kateri imate gori omenjene stvari in jih. ne potrebujete, da jih spravite v red in prinesete v S. N. D. na John R. Tam jih bodo ženske lepo ^zašile, polikale in spravile v zaboje, da bo vse v redu in pripravljeno. In ko bo enkrat tega klanja konec in bo promet odprt, bomo lahko te stvari odposlali rojakom v staro domo* vino, če jih ne bodo zverine dote daj že vse pomorile in pregnale v tuje kraje. — Vsi darovi bodo zabelježeni. Zbirali bomo tudi denarne prispevke, ko dobimo potrebna pojasnila od glavnih avtoritet. — Bodite radodarni pri tem samaritanskem delu. Kdor hitro da, dvakrat da. — In pomoči so potrebni vsi, ne samo Slovenci. Toda, naša dolžnost je, da najprej pomagamo svojim. — Upati je, da se vsa društva in klubi pridružijo tej pomožni akciji.
Ta apel vam pošilja odbor za pomožno akcijo po voini prizadetim rojakom, kateri nas kličejo na pomoč. — Za odbor

Naša podružnica Slovenske ženske zveze bo imela svojo glavno sejo, zato prosim vse članice, da se gotovb ude ležete glavne seje, da se bomo vsaj spoznale, kajti je res žalostno, če ni dosti članic na seji. Jaz rada vidim, da je dvorana tako polna na seji, kakor je bila v oktobru. Prišla sem v dvorano in sem mislila, da je tam kakor po navadi, le malo članic, pa je bila dvoran polna, da sem se čudila. — No, danes jih je pa veliko, sem si rekla, takoj ko sem 3to pila v dvorano. Toda, komaj sem napravila par korakov, mi že zakličejo naproti "happy birthday". Kar srce mi je zastalo. Prvič, ker je bilo toliko članic in drugič, ker je bila moja miza lepo pogr-nje, na mizi pa so bili lepi šopki in ena lepa košara cvetja. Vse to je bilo od uradnic in članic. Pozdravile so me na radio s častitkami ter s pesnijo k mojerhu imeJrtdanu In te so bile: Simec, Dežman. Turk, Presernik, Grahek in nekaj drugih, ki jim ne vem imen. — Prav lepa hvala vsem skupaj, kij^te me tako lepo presenetile. — Toda, drage sosestre, lepo bo, če me presenetite še enkrat in sicer a tem, da pridete vse na glavno letno sejo naše podružnice Slovenske ženske zveze, kajti vedite, da brez članic se ne more nič napraviti, nič ukreniti. Pa tudi pridite zato, da si izvolite nov odbor, tak odbor, ki bo vsem povšeči in boste z njim vse zadovoljni. — Ka svidenje na seji. — Vsem članicam Zveze in naročnikom Amer. Slovenca ter čitateljem pa pozdrav in vesele božične praznike !

domov v Chickgi je nih številk; nekatere pa so-<tudi take, da je po ena ali več števifk zbrisanih ali od-paidlih, nekatere tudi, _da so pretbarvane z isto barvo kst hiše, ali so zakrite z mrežastimi vrati, zimskimi vrati, ka kor tudi da jih zakriva visoko vzrastlo lepotično grmovje.
Pri takem zanemarjenju, d* so hišne številke tako slabo vidne, je velika zapreka pri dostavljanju poitnih pošiljk. To pa še zlasti sedaj v bližajočem se božičnem času, ko je velik naval božičnih voščil in drugih poitnih pošiljk in pa, ko že tako zgodaj popoldne pade mrak.
Med božično sezono se vržfi dostavljanje pisem in drugih božičnih številk tudi po številnih posebnih raznaSalcih, ki se najeti samo za te dni in ti niso tako vajeni vaših imen. Zato se toliko božičnih pošilj in častitk ne more dostaviti < pravem času, ali sploh ne, zla 6ti takim, ki imajo tako zanemarjene hišne številke. Pomagajte poštnemu osobju teh dnevih navala poštnih pisem in pošiljk s tem, da bodo vaše hišne številke dobro vidne in Čim bližje vrat, zlasti, da se bodo razločno videle s pločnika (sidewalk). S tem boste sami sebi zagotovili točno dostavljanje poštnih pošiljk za božične praznike.

PISMO IZ PREKMURJA
Mosquera, 15. sept. 1941
Prečastiti g. Hladnik! Po šestmesečnem razbitju, katerem se je vtopilo toliko pisem in hrepenenj, me je spet razveselilo, pomirilo pismo z doma, 11. VII. 1941 (Gornja Bistrica). Tu Vam hočem prepisati nekaj misli:
'Smo še živi, zdravi in upamo, kmalu bomo zopet veseli, ko se bi kaj spremenila ta novorojena Evropa...... Dosti bi
t: radi in imeli pisati, pa zdaj še ni varno in ne vemo, če še tega dobiš ali ne...... Pa ti nas
razumeš........ Mislimo in upamo, če bo šlo po naših željah, za nekateri mesec ti bomo že vse lahko opisali. Naznanjamo ti, da g. Jožko Kreslin (salezijanec iz Srednje Bistrice) bo imel primicijo 10. avgusta. V Ctehsbvtfh bo pel novo mašo. Posvečen je bil na Rakovniku. Smo mi tudi pozvani na njegovo primicijo. Za peneze imamo sedaj penge in filere, od 1. maja. Za 10 dinarjev so nam dali eno pen-go. Meja se pa začne pri nas pri G. Bistrici. Strigovska fara spadne pod Ogrsko. Slovenija izven Prekmurja je pod nemško oblastjo, a v Ljifoljani so Lahi. Do Ljubljane imajo Nemci stegnjene prste. C. g. Klekl Jožef, urednik Marijinega Lista in No vin, so bili toženi po nedolžnem, za toliko njihovih dobrot (Moja op: ker so predstavnik pravice, božje volje in naravne postave, ker so za Prekmurce vzgled najvišje svetosti in obenem za Slovenijo in Jugoslavijo!) Državni uradniki, ki so bili nameščeni v naših krajih, so morali oditi na svoje domove ali kamorkoli so mogli. Naši duhovniki, ki so bili po Sloveniji in Slovenskih goricah, so sko-ro vsi doma. Zdaj imamo v Crensivcih 4 duhovnike, med njimi g. Kolenka in g." Zelka, oba doma iz Črensovec. — Ce Nemec bi ne napadel tako hitro, bi vsi trije: tvoj oče, Jožko in jaz odšli pod orožje, na cvetno nedeljo. Večinoma drugi moški in fantje so bili že
vsi odAli. Če fbi ne bilo hrvaških izdajalcev bi še trajal boj. Trpeti moramo in čakati spremembo in boljše čase . . . Vsi smo zavedni domoljubi in Še posebno v teh težkih dneh.
Nismo obupali in ne bomo......
Čutimo, da se nam približuje čas rešenja iz suženjstva.... Mogoče, ko ti to pismo dobiš,
se bo kaj spreobrnilo........ Če
pa bi ne, moli za nas ki trpi mo. Moli, da nanTbo skrajšan
ta hudi čas...... Smo zavedni
Slovenci in Jugoslovani, nič se
ne boj........ Pa o tem v bolj
varnem času, v svobodni državi. Pišemo ti po Utroši (salezijanec iz Srednje Bistrite), po Portugalskem. Morebiti tako dobiš vsaj to naše pismo. Upamo da si zdrav in moliš dosti za nas, nam za mir in boljšo bodočnost."
Prečastiti g. Hladnik! Samemu angelu Čuvaru Jugoslavije se moram zahvaliti da mi je obvaroval pisma od cenzure teh presnetih Ogrov, Nemcev in Lahov. Malo pove, ven dar besede, ki potrdijo, da Jugoslavija še ni padla! In če tam niso obupali in ne bodo, zakaj bi mi tu, mi, svobodni sinovi svobodne Ameriške Jugoslavije, in še posebej sedaj, ko prvič trepeta naš neprija telj pred ruskim medvedom in pred bližajočim se mrazom ? Naj se spreobrne in naj zmaga Rusija, je edina molitev slovenskih salezijancev v Kolumbiji.
Molite za me, ki v decembru, če "bo božja volja, bom še molil brevir za Vas, da se dostojno pripravim k mašniš-kemu posvečen ju.- — Vaš brat v Kristusu in Jugoslaviji
Ognjeslav Kreslin.

Editor Speaks. •.
j "HI NEIGHBOR"
A Merry Christmas' to you and yours. May this beautiful festival season find joy, contentment, happiness and good health in your homes. The Supreme Officers extend to all WSA families and readers of the Fraternal Voice sincere greetings of this Yule season.
At this time of the year family ties grow stronger and the hearts open with the spirit of charity, brotherly love, kindness and good will. We have the urge to remember and consider those near and dear to us as well as those whom we know. Up until now our attitude and brotherly duty toward our neighbors has been dormant. At Christmas time we do pour forth love and kindness, however brief it may be, and strive to bring happiness to alL
Fraternal-minded people should practice such benevolence every day in the year, tor it has been said that "men are created that they may live for each other:" It is therefore the friendly duty of each of us to be deeply concerned over the welfare of our neighbors and to bring happiness into theit lives. Neighbor, by the way, not means only one who lives near another in a neighborhood, but it includes every fellow -being of the human race.
We all seek happiness; we need it today more than ever. The way to be happy is to help malce others so. The best way to make others happy is to see to it that they arfe amply protected against misfortunes of life. A Fraternal Society is the organized way to "live for each other" by providing mutual assistance in the cooperative plan through death, sick, accident operation and indemnity benefits. What, better way is. there , to bring complete happiness into any home than t<j bring them safety and security through fraternal insurance and service?
This editorial sums up to the vital point that we want our members to realise the un&ortsfnce of bringing OUR ASSOCIATION into the homes of their neighbors. It is a kindly, charitable deed appropriate especially at this time of the year.
The next time you sing out "Hi Neighbor"—mean it!—let it ring out with true sincerity. Have in your heart the desire to prevail on him the idea to become a brother-member of yours in the WSA. Tbe entire family may become our happy members.
Set your hearts to ever strivs to make your life useful to yourself, your family and to your neighbors. Become a genuine frs&ernalist and work diligently for your WSA. Remember the Proverb 4:23—"Keep thy heart with dilligence. for out of it are th<jssues of life."
You appreciate the great organization to which you belong, we are confident. so give it a worty place in your heart and make it a part of your life for the benefit of all humanity. That is the Christmas spirit; that is the everyday spirit: that is the "love thy neighbor as thyself spirit—may it never die in the hearts of men.
From tbe Office of the Supreme President WSA.
The month of December is upon us aqd with it will come Christmas. And with Christmas will come a benevolent spirit which should prevail the year around, but, unfortunately, seldom appears but once a year. Before this spirit of Ypltide greets us and we start thinking about the gifts ,we are going to bestow upon our close and beloved families and friends, let me make a few suggestions as to who we should include in our list of recipients. "
First of all, to the greatest frien^we have, to the one who offers us lasting protection and affection, the Western Slavonic Association, we should offer a gift which will be very practical and which wilfbe greatly appreciated. During December, as you know, each and every subordinate lodge will hold its annual election of officers to conduct the administrative affairs of the lodge for the ensuing year. These officers are very important to the Association and should be selected with the same care .and consideration as is given to the officers of the Supreme Bogrd. The progress of the Association is governed largely by the effort that is extended by the officers of the subordinate lodges, and should officers be selected who are lax and indifferent in their duties and obligations, little or no progress will result. Therefore, give to our Association for a gift men and women as officers of the subordinate lodges who are capable and who have the interests of the Association at heart. By electing the proper men and women to these offices you will assure a banner year for your owii lodge and provide a gift of incalculable value to y#ur Association.
The next recipient I should like to suggest is one which will provide a true test of Ypltide spirit and of fraternal spirit. Far across the ocean in thf land of the birth of many of us aqd of our ancestors there exists great suffering and deprivation In to»i Jugoslavia peace and happiness are horribly blacked out by the scars of battle and dreams are beaten down by the tramp of marching feet. Words nor space will permit tbe narrating of the deplorable conditions resulting from the ravages of war. I receive reports several times weekly from authoritative sources in Washington describing the hunger, the sick and dying and the suffering of our brothers and sisters in our beloved homeland of Jugoslavia. Theirs is the crying need of aid, but they are not in a position to help themselves. To this end. we in America have organized the Jugoslav Red Cross Relief (Slovene Section) and through this means we are attempting to alleviate the sufferings abroad.
Each and every fraternal organization is doing its part to raise funds for the Jugoslav Red Cross Relief, *nd we of the Western Slavonic Association are doing likewise. We, as members of a fraternal organization, have been taught to show loyalty, devotion and fraternity not only to member of our Association, but to all mankind. If there .ever was a time in which to show thu loyalty and devotion. THIS IS THE TIME. Demonstrate that your iove tor your fellowman, your brothers and sisters in Jugoslavia, will prompt mu5f. M P°«aihle to relieve them from the .curse that has attached * * *■««• Give as generously as possible and as your means will permit to the Jugoslav Red Cross Relief, and be thankful for thf fact that YOU are
.u\" *b,e *nd {rtt to »>« able to donate to their relief in Jugoslavia fnd not that it is. necessary for them to give relief to YOU.
All matters pertaining to Jugoslav Relief should be discussed at the An-1 *nd fn-ds eo,lected. together with the names of the donors, should be sent to me directly. The amounts of the contributions received
ATTEND THE DECEMBER MEETING OF YOUR
LODGE
There is at least one meeting of the the year you ought to attend in the interest qf your lodge and the Association. Your organization is no stronger than your individual lodges, for the WSA is made up of many lodges of which you. Mr. and Mr«. WSA and the kiddies, are an important factor. It progresses only as each and all the lodges progress. That is why your leaders chosen by you are making constant appeals verbally and in writing calling upon ALL the members for cooperation and unity of action on matters pertaining to our process and success.	»
There is a great deal to do, that we must do, every day in the year for our respective lodge and the Association as a whole, such as. always attempting to enroll new members and doing every thing possible for the advancement of our organization, many minor duties and obligations of a faithful member .and to see to it that our lod«** to which we belong functions properly and successfully.
At the December meeting, many vital matters are to be discussed and decided upon for the coming year. These need the attention of not one or a few officers and members, but of the entire membership. It is your lodge operating for your benefit and for your loved ones, so isn't it reasonable to say that you MUST do something about its present progress and its future welfare?
The most important order of business at the December meeting is to elect officers who will guide the
affairs of your lodge for ahother. year. To choose capable, efficient and progressive Officers, who really have the interest of your lodge and the WSA at heart, depends on you.
Every loyal member who invests his money in the goodness of our Association, and has placed the protection of himself an^ loved ones in it. certainly is interested ih the future
of this organization. SuclOfnembers
know down deep in tbeir hearts that the future depends largely or^ the children of today. So our advise iS that a juvenile" supervisor be selected without fail and that fall support and cooperation be pledged this person in future matters concerning our juveniles.
No matter how much, or how little you have done for your lodge in the past, please attend the December meeting and help shape its future course. See that your premiums are paid up in full, and try to get in one or more new members this month,
the last of the Crusade, so that your -	LATE PLASH 1
lodge will start out with a clean slate, Your Association purchased an ad-an enlarged membership and an en- lditional $12,000.00 worth of Defense couraged and inspired set of officers 'Bonds a few days ago. Elsewhere in
WE ARE HELPING
The Association has purchased more U. S. Defense Bonds to the amount of $60000.00, making a total of $21.000.00 bought to date.
Lodges and individual members are urged to buy Defense Bonds ahd Stamps. With every one we buy, we are helping America defend herself and her people.
We are keeping men and machines at work.
We are proving that we have faith in our country.
We are giving an example1 to our neighbors.
We are helping to prevent high prices now.
We are helping to keep hard times away when the defense work slows down.
We are setting aside something for a rainy day.
We are making our money work.
Every one of us can make an investment to assure the strenght and security of America. However small, every, little bit helps. - Boy Defense Stamps and Bonds today.
Check up whether or ndt the secretary has yojir correct address so that he may contact you if necessary and so that you may get the official organ. Read! it; encourage others to read it; better still, write articles for it and boost for the betterment of dear old WSA.
You owe it to your beneficiaries to heed the good bits of advise given in this article.
A Merry Christmas to all.
this issue it was reported that we obtained a total of $21,000.00 in such
Bonds. This latest purchase swells the total now £o $33,000.00 in U. S. Sav. ings Bonds which your WSA put tO work in the national defense program to protect the safety and freedom of the United States.

WHAT THEY DID IN OCTOBER
The following brief account shows what the more active lodges did in the Crusade counting the returns based on the reports of the month of October. The November — Supreme President's month — reports, of course, are not in at this time.
tl will be observed that three new lodges stepped into the "spotlight" this month. The 7 leaders for adult prizes are in the same position as last month. Lodge No. 59 is very close in eight place. No. 16 is the only lodge having reached the quota of 25. while No. 41 has 5 more to go. The 5 leaders for juvenile prizes are also in the same positions except that No. 16 tied No. 41 for third place. All have reached the required quota. Lodge No. 45 having reached the quota is close behind and ready to come in the money with 28 juveniles. Lodge No. 22 has 2\ juveniles, No. 17 has 19 chalked up and No. 21 has 16 — all these are potential prize winners with reports of two more months to do the trick.
Lodge 16 of Pueblo, with a total of 56 new members, has its mind set to again take the trophy which they von in 193«, but No. 41 of Denver, with 51, says: "Nothing doing — we won it last year and intend to keep it forever." Perhans the month of December report will show that they are both wrong — who knows!
The sad part of this story is that we are lagRing behind the record of last year for this same period. The score in 1940 was: 187 adults and 347
i------;jes For 1941 "it is: 176 adults
and 340 juveniles. Last year's total was 534 as against 516 for this year.
Whoops! The Adult Honor Roll
shows that No. 16 took away the lead from No. 3. The rest are the same as the previous month except that Na. 21 slipped up ahead of No. 33. There are no changes in positions of the Juvenile Honor Roll.
Read the block ad elsewhere in this issue for prizes to be awarded the lodges. Which one, or two, will your lodge win? Don't give up if your I lodge is somewhat behind. There is still a chance for all.
There are still eight lodges not as yet having {enrolled a single adult or juvenile member in the WSA Crusade. Get in a few this last month and make it 100 per cent.
ENGIUSH SPEAKING LODGE ORGANIZED
News came as we get ready to go to press that a new English Speaking lodge was organized by Mr. George Miscannon at Kulpmont, Penna. Con gratulations, and good luck. Twelve adult members were enrolled as the beginning of what we expect to become an outstanding lodge of the Association. This will be lodge No. 61. A name was not reported as chosen in the first report.
Lodge No. 61 was organized as a result of an advertisement of the W. S. A. noticed by Mr. Miscannon in the Fraternal Monitor. It pays to advertise. Wf suggest that our individual lodges adopt an advertising policy in and near heir respective communities-	u	,trjMjJ
Attend the Lodge regularly an active booster of the WSA.
GETTING READY POR
CHRISTMAS
•• - .
All the stores are beginning to pot out their Christmas things. The streets are being decorated to welcome Santa Claus. People are beginning to pinch their pennies and are planning what they are going to buy with those pennies. Trips to loved ones are being planned. Letters are being sent to all parts of the world to send cheer to those who are too far away. Packages are being wrapped and taken to the post offices. Everywhere there is the beginning of a hurry and a bustle \that will only stop when Christmas /actually comes. It is a hippy time and it is a sad time, but those two pals almost always chum together anyway. It is the time of the year when more planning is made than any other time. Plans........ plans........ plans.
Perhaps you have reached the end of your rope in thinking about gifts to get. Let me give you a little suggestion. Did you ever think of getting out a policy with the Trail Blazers Lodge and givfgf it to your friend or relative? Pay several months on it, or perhaps a year and just think of the protection and enjoyment that friend or relative will get out of it Perhaps he has wanted to have one for a long time, but just hasn't had the money to make the /first plunge. He will keep up his policy after he has once started it. but he finds it hard to get started.
So add to the Christmas Spirit by getting your friend a ||fe policy with the Trail Blazers Lodge — or should I say. starting a life policy for your friend.
•T BETTY
will be published in our Official Organ.
With the hope that our rank and file will give serious consideration to these additions to their Christmas Gift list. I remain, Fraternally and sincerely yours,
LEO JURJOVEC, SR.. Supreme President.

DECEMBERSKE ALI GLAVNE LETNE SEJE
V smislu pravil ZSZ, točke 143, se vrše volitve uradnikov krajevnih društev pri redni ali izredni seji v mesecu decembru vsakega leta. Na teh sejah se razmotriva ter sklepa tudi o drugih raznih zadevah ter se sprejmejo predlogi, ki so v veljavi za celo naslednje leto. Zato se te seje imenujejo gl. letne seje, kajti volitev društvenega odbora je velevažnega pomena za obstoj in napredek krajevnega društva. Ako ima društvo dobre in agilne uradnike, bo napredovalo v vseh ozirih, dočim bo v nasprotnem slučaju stalo na enem mestu ali pa še celo lezlo v rakovo pot. Vsled tega uljudno prosim celokupno članstvo ZSZ, da se prihodnjih sej, ki se bodo vršile meseca decembra, poinoštevilno udeleže. Izvzeti od teh sej naj bi bili le oni člani, ki slučajno delajo ali, ki se nahajajo na bolniških posteljah. Vdeležite se teh sej ter izvolite v društveni odbor, zlasti pa še za predsednika in tajnika take može ali žene, ki jim je društvo pri srcu in ki so vedno in povsod pripravljeni delovati za procvit in napredek društva in Zveze. Kjer imate take uradnike, je priporočljivo, da jih ponovno izvolite in v drugih krajih, kjer je vaše mnenje, da bi društvo moralo bolj lepo napredovati, po obstoječih razmerah, je pa naša dolžnost, da nadomestimo mrtve uradnike s takimi, ki bodo pripravljeni žrtyovati čas za napredek društva. Torej bodimo na teh sejah popolnoma nepristranski glede volitve društvenega odbora ter izvolimo najzmoanejše, oz. najagilnejše uradnike ne glede na naše osebno prijateljstvo. Le na ta način bo naša Zveza napredovala tako kot bi mogla napredovati.
Društvenim uradnikom, zlasti pa še predsednikom, pa priporočam, da naj pazijo, da bodo seje kratke ter zanimive, kajti članstvo ne mara poslušati dolgih razprav in sedeti pri suhih sejah. Zato so kratke seje neobhodno priporočljive in po sejah pa, de ni društvena blagajna suha, priporočam, da članstvo malo razvedrite z malim prigrizkom ali pijačo.
Na decemberskih sejah boste tudi prejeli koledarje ZSZ za leto 1942, katere vzemite ter jih obesite na kak prostor kjer jih lahko vidite vsako jutro, kajti na vsakem listu so zopet trije meseci z velikimi številkami, kateri so potrebni za vsakega člana.
Vsaki društveni tajnik bo prejel pole, da izpolni imena in naslove novoizvoljenih uradnikov, oz. predsednika, tajnika, blagajnika in ml. nadzornika, in jih vrne vsaj do 31. decembra t. 1.
Obenem se iskreno priporočam, da skušate vsaj v zadnjem mesecu tekače krusade (v decembru) pridobiti nekoliko novih Članov, da ne bo naša kr usada ostala glas vpijočega v puščavi. Vsak član lahko pridobi po enega člana, ako ne v aktivni pa vsaj v mladinski oddelek, kajti mesečni prispevki v ta oddelek so samo po 15c. Torej so tako nizki, da bi moral vsak navaden Zemljan imeti svoje otroke zavarovane pri ZSZ. Povejte vašim prijateljem o velikih podporah, ki jih ZSZ plačuje svojim članom, vdovam in sirotam proti nizkimi mesečnimi prispevki, in vam bo-•do hvaležni, ker ste jim to raztobnačili ter z veseljem pristopili sami ali pa bodo vsaj vpisali njih otroke v ZSZ.
Mr. Geo. Miscannon, rodom Slovak, iz Kulpmcmt, Pa., mi je pred enem meaecom pisal, da je videl naš oglas v Fraternal Monitorju in bi rad vedel malo več o naši Zvezi, in ko sem mu pisal ter pojasnil o velikih podporah, ki jih Zveza plačuje proti nizkimi mesečnimi prispevki, mi je pisal, da mu nemudoma pošljem veliko prošenj za pristop in včeraj sem prejel 12 prošenj za pristop v aktivni oddelek k novoustanovljenem društvu št. 61 ZSZ v omenjenem mestu. Mr. Miscannon mi je pa pisal, da bo pridobil veliko novega članstva v tamošnji okolici. Iz tega je torej razvidno, kako lahko je pridobivati novo članstvo v našo Zvezo, ako se človek malo zanima ter pomuja, da pojasni svojim prijateljem o naši zavarovalnini. Imena novopristoplih članov pri omenjenem društvu so: Dr. Albert Joseph Ancerawicz, John Bincosla, Alice Bogotovitch, Anna Bushinski, Antfceny Beehinslti, Joseph Der-anont, Cecelia Glowatski, Dr. Wm. A. Lustusky, George Miscannon (Organizator), Martha Picarella, James Rhodes in Helen Rudock. Med zgoraj šnj imi 12 novimi člani je razvidno, da sta tudi dva zdravnika, kar je ponovni dokaz, da je lahko člane pridobiti v ZSZ, če jim raztolmačimo o naši nadsolventni nepristranski bratski podporni Zvezi.
Upajoč, da bomo našli Še veC takih članov in rojakov kot je sobrat Geo. Miscannon, da bomo z njih pomočjo privedli Zvezo še do višjega stališča kot je sedaj.
Z bratskim pozdravom, se priporočam za obilno udeležbo na decemberskih sejah ter na mnogo uspehov pri volitvah odborov vaših krajevnih dmitev in ostajam,
Vam udani za uspešno krnsado, ~ .	ANTHONY JERŠIN, gl. tajnik.

I'LL NEVER FORGET!
By Ro«e Plut
Hello Folks:!
I'm back again in these columns with a long, long story in which you will learn all about our trip and the Chicago convention, which no delegate will ever forget. «
The delegates were treated with great kindness and hospitality, and enjoyed every moment of their stay in Chicago, which left them leaving with sad goodbyes. Thanks to Three Star and Liberty lodges, who were our hosts during the week-. And my personal "thank you" to Mr. and Mrs. Leo Jurjovec, Leo, Jr., and Frankic, who just couldn'i have been more wonderful to me; Mr. and Mrs. Anton Fpbion and Dorothy at whose
Denver, Colorado i belongings including a box of candy ' given us by Dr. Smfer. We got into erVed
home I enjoyed staying; Mr. and! the liquor dispensing car, while others
Mrs. Lou Zefran (and that, hearse) who showed me a good time; Mr. and Mrs. Mike Popovkh and the South Chicago bunch; Sinkovic Family, and Mr. John Jerich all who helped make my stay an enjoyable one. Also Fathers Leonard and Edward of St. Stephen's Church, and Father Aloy-cius of St. George's of So. Chicago, whom I enjoyed meeting and conversing with. So, once again, from the bottom of my heart, I say, "A million thanks t~ yon ait"
Since there is only a scant month left of our Crusade, let's get it over with a real large enrollment. And Now. ' I'll Never Forget.M Ahi the great day Aug. 23rd had come at last. Excited but really happy we Denverites pack the rest of our clothes, and at 3 p. iv we met with other delegates from various parts of the West at the Slovenian H^fr. Everyone got acquainted quickly and later about 60 of us were taken to the Zephyr at 4 p. m. After our goo^-byes we boarded the train with our
the coach reserved for our delegation when the conductor called "all aboard." Yes, we were about to leave. So again waving goodbye to all of our folks and friends, with a thrill in our hearts, we were off. Slowly the train moved rat first, then like a whiz of lighting we were passing through the prairies and country-side. Happy? I'll say I
After the conductor checked our tickets, we started to make merry. Fellow-delegate Elsie Spiller, played the accordion as we all sang. After a whole the singing party broke up. Most of the adult folk conversed with one another and sonle slipped out to

This happened many times during the night, especially after going through Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. (This was one of the reasons we couldn't sleepy From about 8 until about II everyone was making merry, and during, which time I got better acquainted with everyone. Then everybody settled do*n a bit and tried to get some sleep. Only for a few of us who weren't yet sleepy.
Ksty, myself and a few others thought we could get ourselves a Coc or something, so on our way to the bar we noticed the contrast between our coacJ)£$ and the. rest — they were real quite. After arriving to our destination we had coffee, imkgine having coffee at 12:00. Anyhow, ute met Mr. Blatnik and the rest of the ?ang (not having coffee) and were there until 1£30. We came hack aqd thought we'd have jome sleep, but. no, not after coffee, so we just sat and tslkrd.
Later, the gang came back and Mr. Miroslavkh, the official "sleep destroyer" kept us awake with his story of the Three Bears. After he settled down some Katy and I tried to get some sleep, but every time we did, Mr. Blatnik would poke me or stick his big feet in the way, or yell "we'ere coming to a town." Or it was Arthur walking the coach all night keeping us up. About 2:30, Kathy and I decided we simply must get some sleep, so we moved over in front of Mr. Jersin who was snoring in the Key of G. That wouldn't do. but we managed to get about 15 minutes of snooze and were again awakened. Then gave up and just sat and talked rather low, 'cause everyone was sleeping pr trying to at lea4t.
All of a sudden we heard a shrill "me-ow", which broke the silence. We began to laugh because the so-called 'cat" was just in front of us. That aroused everyone near us and all start-sd to laugh, then the cat started to meow again and some other cat in he rear of the coach meowed back. By this time, everyone was awoke Jut — ahem — Mr. Miroslavich, who vas just as sound asleep as though lead. He missed out. These fats kept meowing back and forth, then we had a regular barnyard effect. There were cast, dogs, roosters and everything else. Laugh! We thought we'd splk a rib. By the way, the cats that started alt this were kittens Horvat nd Peketz. Well, about 4:30 a. m. everyone settled down again and day was dawning. "By this time we were lr into ~lowa and no mors could we ;et a glimpse of our beautiful Rocky Mountains. No, we saw only plains, forests and small hills all around us.
About 5 a. m. whjri everyone was awaking, our attention was called to he beautifiul sunrise which was indeed so pretty. I just can't describe ft. About 5:30 we washed aqd combed md looked freshed up although we didn't get hardly any sleep. Soon the ondpetor came through announcing breakfast is now being ser,ved in the nWm -^LmeT.'' or something like that. Kat£ and I were talking and looking at the scenery. The two cats in front of us had moved, this time the seat was occupied by Arthur who was asleep — poor boy. I guess walking the coach was too much for him, but darned it we let him sleep. We woke him up and he tried to say he wasn't sleeping. You couldn't fool us, Artie.
Hm-nvm. Now if we only had a camera — what a picture it would make! For back in one of the seats was Mr. Miroslavich all coddled up so cute and still miles away from waking up. I think his Three Little Bears got the best of him.
About 6 a.m. we crossed the enormous Mississippi River, which meant that we would enter into Illinois. Ah. getting closer every minute. Oh yes. we all set our watches ahead for 2 hours. Gee, at home we would still be sleeping. After breakfast time was over — 8 a. m. Chicago time •— and at which time Mr. Miroslavich was fully awake, we were nearing Chicago and very happy about it. We were counting minutes when finally we entered the suburbs of Chicago. With great anxiety we looked around and anxiously waited till we came into the station.

were doing something else or other. All in all they were having a great time.
The juveniles! Oh, what a time we had! We were scattered all over the coach, Kathryn Byers and Claire Ko-chevar. my chums till the end. and I were having a good time. To be frank, we were never in the seats that »fere suposed to be 0115s. We were in the rear of the coach, but we ended somewherjss in the front.
About 7 p. m. we came to Eckley, Colo., where the train started to gc backward^ .Goodness no. we were^ot going back home. No it was just a bridge washout and we were stalled about 30 ^minutes, during which time Arthur Jersin brought over the box of candy which we enjoyed while waving to the passersby who thought (I guess) it was funny to see such a group. Anyhow, we were having heck of a good time.
After leaving Eckley we came to another small town and somebody yel|pd "we'ere coming into a town.

New tYork, novembra (JČO) — Na Skupščini Dela v New Yorku »o imeli odpo slanci vlad, delavcev in delodajalcev Ceškosovaške, Grške, Poljske in Jugoslavije, ki predstavljajo vodeče narode v borbi proti osišču, priložnost, da izmenjajo poglede na gospodarska in politična vprašanja, ki vplivajo na bodočnost narodnega in političnega vstajenja omenjenih držav. Glav-ih razprav o teh vprašanjih so se udeležili gg. Massaryk, KosanoviČ, Dimitratos, Stančik in njihov ugledni sodelavci gg. Nečas, Subotič, Logotetis - in Falter. Zaključki teh razgovorov so prinešeni v spomenici, ki poVneni največji dogodek na Skupščini Dela. Ta spomenica se glasi:
Odposlanstva vlad, delodajalcev in delavcev srednje evropskih in balkanskih držav pri Mednarodni Skupščini Dela so po sestanku in skupnem razglabljanju stanja soglasno sprejelo sledečo izjavp:
1) S čustvi neopisljive potrtosti se spominjamo naših trpečih narodov, njihovemu nepremagljivemu duhu, njihovi hrabrosti in veličini njihovih žrtev. Naznanjamo složnost naših držav v skupni borbi za svobodo.
.2) Pred civiliziranim svetom protestiramo proti neštevilni in neverjetnim ovrutnostim, ki jih dan za dnevom počno osvo-jevalci in lyihovi prisjrajcni-ki. Zaradi edinega zločina — ker so bili vdani svoji državi, so bili tisoči mož, žena in otrok obsojeni na trpljenje v prisilnih taboriščih ali pa na smrt. Osvojevalec ne spoštuje ne božjih zapovedi ne človeškega prava. Posebej p ramo proti divjaškemu jemanju in ubijanju talcev.
Pošiljamo 'bratski pozdrav drugim podjarmijenim narodom v Evropi. Dajemo spoštovanje velikim in hrabrim narodom Velike Britanije, Sovjetske Unije in velikemu ameriškemu narodu. V mislih poši ljamo svoje prijateljske občutke tudi kitajskemu narodu.
3)	Slovesno zagotavljamo naše narode, da se bo borba za njihovo osvobojenje, ki se bojuje skupaj z velikimi de-demokracijami sveta, neutru-dljivo nadaljevala do dneva zmage.
4)	Sledeč tej borbi računamo s pomočjo in polno podporo vseh svobodnih držav, a pred vsemi njihovega organiziranega delavskega ljudstva. Trajanje vojne v mnogočem zavisi od tega, do katere stopnje bodo ti narodi, zlasti njihovi delavci, pokazali duh po-žrtvo vanja.
5)	Države Srednje Evrope in Balkana vnovič zatrjujejo svojo globoko vdanost demokratskim načelom in izražajo svojo složnost z velikimi demokracijami.
6)	Globoko ^jpno prepričani, da bo mir, ki oo sledil zmagi prinesel našim narodom in vsem narodon^ po vsem svetu Štiri svobode, opredeljene v izjavi Roosevelta in Churchilla.
Upamo, da bo konec te vojne, ki nam je bila vsiljena, rešil milijone prebivalcev Sre-
Izjavo so v imenu Češkoslovaške podpisali: Jan Maparyk, minister notranjih zadev in delavski ter delodajalski odpo-slanes gg. Kihanji Moravec in Josip Kosin; v imenu Grčije Aristid Dimitratos, minister dela ter delavski in deioda-jalsk odposlanec gg. Logotetis in Papas; v imenu Poljske g. Jan Stančik, minister dela ter delavski in delodajalski odposlanec gg. Alfred Falter in Feliks Gros; v imenu Jugoslavije Sava KosanoviČ, minister brez listnice ter delavski in delodajalski odposlanec gg. Miloš Cesar in Božo Banac. ,
V imenu * Mednarodnega Urada Dela je svečano podpisovanje te spomenice pozdravil g. Philan, ravnatelj Mednarodnega Urada Dela, ki je dal besedo g. Massaryku, nakar je ta govoril o osnovah tega mednarodnega dela. Po govoru g. Dimitratosa v imenu Grčije in g. Stančika v imenu Poljske, je burno pozdravljen govoril prvi podpisnik Jugoslavije, minister Sava KosanoviČ, ki je dejal sledeče:
"Jugoslavije skupaj s Češko, Grčijo in Poljsko bo storila vse, kar je v njenih močeh, da olajša ureditev Balkana in Vzhodne Evrope, a s tem vse Evrope in omogoči ustvarjenje novega sveta politične in gospodarske demokracije.
Ta izjava s podpisi štirih držav, je poslana z največje mednarodne demokratske skupačne z ozemlja Združenih držav in bolj s svojim duhom kot s svojimi besedami kaže pot, po kateri bomo šli. Vsem narodom, ki kažejo resnično in dejansko borbo za svobodo in ki pokazujejo razumevanje za naše skupne težnje, — politično in gospodarsko demokracijo, sodelovanje in složnost, bomo ponudili roko za sodelovanje."	*
Južnoameriškim odposlanstvom je minister g. KosanoviČ dejal v španščini:
"Vam, odposlancem južnoameriških držav, svobodnih demokracij Južne Amerike, ki imate to srečo, da niste v sosedstvu zločinskega nacijske-ga"stroja, v tem svečanem tre-1 nutku rečem: nadaljujte v tem duhu popolne složnosti proti fašizmu z dajanjem upanja našim trpečim narodom,- kajti samo složnost V£i ja demokratskega sveta se lahko uniči strašno okuženje, ki danas stane toliko krvi Evropo in'Azijo in zato, ker ta složnost lahko tudi vas reši pred okuženjem."
Te besede ministra g. Kosa-noviča so vsi udeleženci skupščine burno pozdravili, zlasti pa južnoamerška odposlanstva, ki so .bila zelo ganjena,

HITLER ŽIVI V VEDNEM
STRAHU
London. — (ONA) — Poročevalci raznih listov poročajo, da živi nemški diktator Htler v vednem strahu pred zaroto, da bi bil oropan svoje moči in diktatorstva. Vselej prespi noč na drugem kraju in nihče ga ne vidi samega. Njegov tajni glavni stan, katerega vojaštvo imenuje "Nazijski cirkus" je skrbno zastražen podnevu in ponoči po posebnih stražnikih, ki so prisegli Hitlerju, da so pripravljeni za njega vsak čas umreti. Ti stražniki imajo strog ukaz, streljati na vsakega, ki ga osebno ne poznajo, kakor tudi da ne puste, celo miljo daleč na okolu od glavnega stana, nobenemu nositi orožja, neoziraje se., kdo bi to •bil. — Nadalje poročajo, da je Hitler v zadnjih par mese-cis štirikrat premenil svojega telesnega zdfavnika. O dveh poročajo da sta bila ubita niti dva meseca potem, ko ju je odslovil in sicer Dr. Knol, špeci-j a list za živčne bolezni iz tSuttgarta in pa Dr. Weisner iz Berlina.
-o-
nizacija si je prevzela Gari-baldijevo ime, da počasti tega domljuba, ki se je boril za svobodo italije proti Avstriji v
tvija. Tej straži so zabičili naj brez vsakega obvestla strelja na vsakega "Arijca", ki bi hotel obiskati Žide v njihovem
19. stoletju in v španski civil-) okraju. Tudi tukaj so to sto-
ni vojni. — Stotine Italijanov uhaja iz raznih edinic v Franciji in drugih okupiranih dežel, se skrivoma pritihotapijo Čez mejo, kjer jih italijanske straže, ki sodelujejo z legio-narji, sprejmejo in vodijo čez mejo v varno zavetje ki je v neki vasi v Alpah pokrajine Piedmont, kjer potem dobe navodila in denar. — Navadno jih potem od tam pošiljajo v manjših skupinah, po dva ali tri v razne kraje in vasi, da delujejo in agitirajo za nove člane. Ta skrivna organizacija j* že zelo na široko razpredena po Italiji in člamimajo že zveze z vojaki na ruskem bojišču in tudi drugod.

21DJE NA POLJSKEM OGRAJENI Z ELEKTRIČNO OGRAJO
TUDI 16 LETNE TALCE SO STRELJALI
London. — (ONA) — Iz mednarodne {slavnega stana jugoslovanske vlade tukaj se poroča, da so bili med 200 do 300 civilisti, katere si naziji. držali v Kra-gujevcu kot talce in katere so postrelili, ker je bilo ubitih 26 nemških vojakov, tudi komaj 16 letni dečki. — Poročilo pravi, da ker naziij niso mogli med odrastlimi dobiti zadostnega števila talcev, so po-lovili tudi 16 letne šolske dečke, katere so potem z drugimi vred postrelili. To je naj-brutalnejše početje NemceV ker jim je odposlanec' govoril izza okupacije Jugoslavije, v njihovem narodnem jeziku.
Svečano dejanje podpisovanja te skupne spomenice o bodoči uredtvi južnovzhodne in balkanske E^vrope, ki predstavlja najvažnejši in najotip-ljivejši na Skupščini Dela, je
"GARIBALDI J EVE LEGIJE" V ITALIJI
Stockholm, Švedska. — (ONA) -r- Da italijansko ljudstvo ni zadovoljno z zvezo z naziji pokazuje nova skrivna organizacija italijanskih pa-
London. — (ONA) — Iz poljskih uradnih krogov tukaj se poroča, da so nazijske oblasti postavili okolu židovskih predmestij v Waršavi, Lublinu in drugih poljskih mestih žično ograjo, v katero so napeljali električni tok. Vsi prebivalci, ki niso židje, so posvarjeni da se naj držijo proč od te ograje najmanj 50 metrov, drugače bodo od stra-že ustreljeni brez vsakega svarila. To so naziji napravili zato, da bi onemogočili vsak pobeg Židov iz njhovega okraja, kakor tudi da bi zajbranili ostalemu poljskemu prebivalstvu prakticirati metanje zavojev hrane Židom preko ograje in kazati do njih sploh kake simpatije. — Kakor dostavlja nazijski list Deutsche Zeitung v Ostlandu, so naziji postavili vojaško stražo okrog židovske naselbine v Rigi, La-
rili prav iz tega vzroka kakor na Poljskem, namreč, da bi domačini na noben način ne mogli pomagati stradajoči^ Židom, jim nositi kake hrane ter jim izkazovati usmiljenje. Poročajo, da je v židovskem oddelku v Rigi do 80,000 Židov.

HULL OŽIGOSAL FINSKO
Washington, D. C. — Državni tajnik Hull je imel za Finsko, katera je bila pred komaj dvema letoma v takih časteh z Zed. državah, zadnji petek skrajno ostre besede. Dejal je namreč, da ni ta de* žela zdaj nič drugega kakor lutka Hitlerjevega režima, češ, protikomunistični pakt ter se da je s tem, ko je podpisala ,! protikomunistični pakt ter se z njim pridružila osišču, jasno pokazala, da na celi črti sodeluje z naziji.

V tem duhu je zamišljena naša sedanja skupna izjava in v tem istem duhu si zamišljamo vlogo, ki jo bodo naše države imele pri pre-ustroju nove Evrope, v stalnem mira in blagostanju.

ribaldijevo legijo" z namenom da pripravijo Italijo da se dvigne zoper Hitlerja. — Poročila, ki prihajajo sem govore, da je geslo teh legionirjev "Italija za Italijane". Nadalje poročajo, da to gibanje podpirajo z denarjem mnogi ugledni italijanski veljaki in dplomatje, ki se ne strinjajo z Cianom, ki hoče sodelovanja z naziji. Ta skrivna orga-
sprejet v Združenih državah in v Veliki Britaniji, kakor tudi v vseh južno ameriških državah, kot pot, po kateri je treba iti pri ustvarjanju novega sveta. Zelo važno je, da je Jugoslavija s Češkoslovaško, Grško in Poljsko dejansko sodelovala v tem velikem in pomembnem delu. slugo ima minister g. KosanoviČ, ki je bil na Skupščini De : izredno marljiv in se udele-

London, Anglija. — Vldda namerava ta teden predložiti parlamentu nov načrt za splošno prisilno dolžnost, služiti v bojnih oddelkih, ali na vojnih delih, za moške in za ženske. Kakor se je ugotovilo, bodo spadali pod to do-lečbo moški do 50., ženske pa do 40. leta starosti.

DRŽAVA ODSTRANI REKLAMNE TABLE Raleigh, N. C. — Tukajšnja država je odredila, da se imajo odstraniti od cest velike reklamne table, in sicer do daljave 50 čevljev od ceste. Novi napisi sploh več niso dovoljeni, dočim se morajo stari odstraniti do novembra 1942.
(Konec) "Kam pa naj zdaj postavimo politično združeno Slovenijo? Ob tem vprašanju pridemo jdo negotovosti in -mnenja se bodo prejkone kresala. Danes še ni nobene jasne slike bodoče demokratične Evrope."
No, vidite! To je Molek zelo prav povedal. Se bolj je pribil z naslednjimi besedami:
'Toda vse to še ni nič gotovega — vse to so Še samo iskrice v črni temi, ki pomenijo že nekakšno upanje."
To "upanje" ga pa takoj zavede do nadaljnjih izvajanj, ki polagajo Slovencem ,v domovi ni na jezik in v srce^s čim bi se "morebiti" zadovoljili. ' Potemtakem imamo lahko nekoliko predokusa o tem, v čem naj bi se — po Krsitano-vem mnenju —: razlikovalo stališče jugoslovanske vlade od želja Slovencev v domovini. Vendar moramo nehote reči: Ce je vprašanje, v koliko se zasužnjeni narod doma strinja s tem, kar skuša v njegovem imenu govoriti njegova postavna vlada, pa ni prav nič manjše vprašanje, v koliko se strinja z ugibanji, ki sta jih — v njegovem imenu ? — glasom zapisnika nadrobila Kristan in Molek. %
Se več! To je celo mnogo večje vprašanje. Saj je na primer minister Snoj bil prav sredi tistega naroda doma do zadnjega dne samostojne Jugoslavije, dočim sta Kristan in Molek že leta in leta za mejo.
Iz vsega tega razmišljanja se nam torej še vedno prav nič ne posveti, zakaj in čemu je bilo treba vreči ministrovo vabilo v koš in hiteti-na sestanek neodvisno od njega in ga celo direktno ali indirektno odrivati od posvetovanja.
Da smo na pravem, nam pričajo tudi izjave večine ostalih sestankarjev, kot jih beremo v zapisniku. Misli Franka Zaitza sem že navedel in v tem smislu komentiral. Zalar Josip je za to, da naj se naša Slovenija uključi v prerojeno, novo Jugoslavijo!" Anton Zbaš-nik pravi: "Treba je združiti vse slovensko ozemlje v ok viru federativne Jugoslavije..—" Kaposled spet sam Et-bin Kristan: "V novi Jugoslaviji bo imela ženska etc". Torej vendarle spet — Jugoslavija! In resolucija sama tudi ni izključila vsega, kar znači beseda "jugoslovanski!"
Potemtakem je takole: Ce je jugoslovanska vlada ZOPER Jugoslavijo, le potem je njeno mnenje drugačno ko "naše" v zapisniku. In če je naš slovenski narod doma ZOPER Jugoslavijo, potem se vjema stališčem jugoslovanske
vlade, NE vjema se pa z "našim" mnenjem v zapisniku, ki skoraj soglasno podčrtava
jugoslovansko linijo. Kako, vrabca, naj potem "mi" bomo edino poklicani, da govorimo v imenu naroda doma, jugoslovanska vlada v Londonu in njeni predstavniki v Ameriki naj pa lepo molčijo, ker n> majo nikakega pooblastila.. ? Nam je to vse skupaj pravi gordijski vozel!
Ce je jugoslovanska vlada ZOPEp Jugoslavijo — kje naj bo potemtakem sploh kaka vlada Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev? Hitler bi seveda hitro vedel povedati: Za Srbe Ne-dič, za Hrvate Pavelič! Za Slovence, Hitler in Musso! Da se s tem mi in tudi "mi" ne strinjamo, je menda jasno ko beli dan. Toda kje je potem vlada, recimo, za Slovenijo? Ni je? Ali moremo "mi" izmed "nas" stvoriti vlado za Slovenijo? Absurdnost je na dla ni!
Za nas pa sta vlada Krek in Snoj in drugi, katerih ime na so nam znana, vse gor dc Simoviča. ((Tudi za "nas" ni drugače mogoče!) To se pravi, priznamo jih za postavne predstavnike jugoslovanske vlade, čeprav smo Amerikanci in nas kot take njihova avtoriteta ne zadene. V kolikor smo pa opravičeni razmišljati o Jugoslaviji, in Sloveniji posebej, nam ne kaže prav nič storiti mimo in preko ali celo zoper te predstavnike jugoslovanske vlade. Karkoli bi storili po takih potih, bi storili tudi zoper voljo naše ameriške vlade, ki priznava samo ono jugoslovansko vlado. Amerika sama ne bo delala nič mimo in, preko te vlade, še manj zoper njo, dokler ne bo ta jugosl. vlada kakorkoli odstavljena ali drugače ob veljavo prišla.
Torej, gospoda: Glavo na pravi konec, srce na pravo mesto! Cemu delati napake, ki jih ne boste mogli popraviti brez primernega — glavobola!
Katoličani so tako močni, kakor j« močno njihovo katoliško čaisopisje.

— ZGODOVINSKI ROMAN —
Ruski spisal G. P. Danilevski Preložil AL Benkovič
Pod Gurjevom je izmučeni oddelek dobil počitek. Premor je bil določen do sončnega zahoda. Polovico tovornih velblodov in en del konj so izpustili, da po obmorskih gričih, ki so se bili otajali na solncu, poščipljejo oživelo lansko travo. Vse je bilo silno veselo oddiha. V taboru je bilo tako tiho in mirno, da sta se dva tovariša Kasatkinova v kibitki, prideljena dragon-ski stotniji, dva ujeta Šveda, nagloma slekla kakor v kopeli, da ba se pod kupom odej in kožuhov bolje segrela ter po dol-gpm mrazu z vso slastjo zaspala.
S tihim, zdaj veselim, zdaj žalostnim glasom, sta se s Kasatkinom razgovarjala o svoji domovini, o nepozabni poltavski bitki in o svojem dolgem ujetništvu.
—	Ali je bilo strašno v tej bitki ob grmenju topov? je vprašal Kasatkin starejšega Šveda.
—	Strašno ... govorili so, da ste vi, po-strelili ves smodnik in da so bili vaši topovi žareči.. f7
—	Ali ste videli carja v bitki?
—	Na belem konju ... Jaz sem ga ugledal; a zdajci me je zadela krogla, padel sem .. .
Šved ni končal. Po taboru je nastal hrup. Zabobneli so barabani, zagrmele pozivne trobente. Nastalo je vrvenje, tekanje, kričanje načelnikov. Tam in tam se je v temi izprožila puška.
—	Kaj pa je? vprašal Kasatkin, ko se je bil nagloma oblekel in skočil iz kibitke. Odkod prihaja poziv?
—	Ne vemo, batjuška, so odgovorili ko-zaki, kdo ve?
Aleksej je pograbil sabljo, skočil na bližnjega konja ter planil skozi množico. Okrog tabora je bil napravljen cel nasip vozov in tovorov. Okrog in okrog preplašeno govorjenje brez rečta. V temi se ne vidi čisto nič. Vmes tulijo otovorjeni vel-blodi. V kibitki višjega častnka, na samem stoječ, laja in boječe cvili polkov psiček Riabka. Osedlali so konje, a kam? Nikdo ne ve. Končno je pridirjal kozak iz Bas-manovega polka.
—	Pridirjali so, je javil, ter z griča odgnali vse velblode in konje.
—	Na konje, na konje! so kričali esauli. (Esauli — stotniki.)
Prva stotnija je jezdila iz tabora, za njo Frankenberg z dragonci. Kasatkin je dirjal z zadnjimi. Roparje so dohiteli proti iutru pod neko strmino. Streljali so iz zasede. Eden izmed kozakov je padel! "Za sablje V je ukazal Frankenberg in prvi planil naprej. Roparji so zbežali, popusti vsi plen.
"Slabo znamenje," si je mislil Kasatkin, ko se je vračal v tabor. "Takorekoč pri nas doma, vpričo trdnjave ... Kaj bo šele tam, v daliavi, v pusti, mrtvi deželi?" _
Zopet se je dvignil oddelek,- znova se pomikal proti bližnji trdnjavi. Zdanilo se je. Solnce je pripekalo kakor poleti. .Stepa je sinjela in šumela od tisoč potokov. Pipe so se kadije, slišati je bilo kozaški razgovor in smeh. V sprednji kozaški stotniji so grmeli bobni, družni glasovi so zvonko peli: "Len, len molodoi" ... In Aleksejev tovariš, mlajši izmed ujetih Švedov, izvrsten slikar, je med potjo na velblodu s svinčnikom na papir narisal sliko nočnega napada. Sluteč bližino vrelca, so velblo-di hitreje stopali, nesoči na mehkih grbah ogromne, enakomerno gugajoče se tovore. V varstvu oddelka nahajajoči se ino-rodci so se od veselja oblekli kakor za praznik v žolte, rdeče in raznobojne halje.

Smejali so se, pokali z nagajkami in veselo hrumeli.
"Še deset vrst in bomo v Gurjevu," je pisal Kasatkin Mariji Savišni z zadnjega počitka. "Oba moja lista, ki sem vam jih pisal, in posebno to le zapečateno, ha ime Dunje priloženo pismo ji za Boga pošljite o prvi priliki. Niih pisec je zdrav in nepoškodovan, s pomočjo njih, ki so molili zanj."
Marija Savišna Frankenburgova je dobila Kasatkinovi pismi že po Veliki noči. A ni jih poslala v Pariz, ker jo je žena Kasatkinova ta čas obvestila, da se je potem ko je bila zvedela o moževem odhodu*v Astrahan, odločila, da poprosi carja, ko pride v Francijo, dovoljenja, da bi smela iti k možu.
Na Tomaževo nedeljo (Tomaževa nedelja — bela nedelja.) je tudi ostala vojska na ladjah odrinila proti Gurjevu.
Duhovništvo je na astrahanskem trgu opravilo popotne molitve. Pokropili so z blagoslovjeno vodo ljudi, ladje, topove in zastave. Na rdeči, svileni prapor Bekovi - čev s slikami solnra, meseca in orla je bila kneginja Marra Borisovna z zlatom vtkala orijentalske besede: "Devlet — Gil-dei — - Murza" — osvojitelj dežel — knez.
Kožin si ni mogel kaj, da bi ne bil, še ^o je kneginja šivala zastavo, karal tudi tega. napisa.
—	To ni mogoče, to ni primerno, zopet ne bo nič dobrega iz tega! je rekel. Videli boste, divji, ponosni kneziči bodo razža Ijeni.
—	Kheštvo je staršem Cerkaskega dal že car Fedor Aleksejevič, so razlagali Ko-žinu štabni častniki. Njeg9vi bratje ta čas vladajo na Tereku Cerkezom in OhoČa-nom.
—	Ne to, vam pravim, ne to, je ugovarjal trdovratni prepirljivec. Jaz sem bil v tistih krajih in sem si jih ogledal... mene bi poslušali. Osvojitelj!... A mi gremo trgovat ...
Brata Cerkaskega, lepa in elegantna Sijunč in Akmurza, sta prihitela s Kavkaza k poletnemu oddelku pohoda Ta dva ter dvajset oboroženih kabardinskih jezdecev, ki so se bili ponudili knezu za osebno varstvo, je Čerkaski vzel na lastno bri-gantino. (Brigantina — dvojamboma ladja.)
Kneignja Bekovičeva si je izprosila, da ga sme spremiti na morje, kamor je sklenila s sabo vzeti tudi trojico mladoletnih otrok, dve hčerki in dojenčka očetovega imena, malega Aleksandra.
—	Ti, kneginja, bi rajši ostala doma, je ženi prigovarjal knez. Morje ni za ženske; Še zbolis mi, pa kar hitro!
Marta Borisovna pa ni poslušala moža, pripravila je vse potrebno za otroke in odpotovala. Na mrzlici bolni starejši sin Aleksander je ostal žalosten in objokan pri Mariji Savišni v Astrahanu.
Knez ie stopil na brigantino ter razvil prapor v znamenje, naj ladje odplujejo.
—	Očka, tata, je kričal z naročja knezovega sluge šestletni Saša, prijemajoč se za polo z zlatom vezenega očetovega gardnega kaftana. Še mene vzemi!
—	Bodi miren, Surka; saj se bova zopet videla, potrpi, ga je smehljaje tolažil knez.
i— Pripelji mi slona, je mirneje klical sinček, in živega leva . . .
—	Hanovega tigra ti pripeljem, je za-klical oče še enkrat oddaljujoč se.

While on the subject of new arrivals, we would also like to extend our congratulations to Joe Oblalc, who is the proud father of the new heir in his domicile, Jean Adrian.

May the daughters, of both Joe and Bida enjoy all the health and happiness in the world and be a source of constant joy to their parents.
Mrs. Frances Ziebert scored her best game in the season by rolling a 106 game. It is to be remembered that she is just a beginner and to date had onlv been carry in«? a 68.11 pin aver age. so in light of those facts her achievement becomes worthy of com mehts. J. Z.

DOWN THE ALLEY
We read about the earthquakes of Hawaii, but riotie can compare with the upheavals which art now taking
place in our bowling league. Last Sunday we witnessed a complete change in standings, individual high series, high average. High game and high team game. Highlighting the day were Ernie Jerin, who rolled a 224 «ame to displace Leo Jurjovec. Jr."in the high game bracket and Jr. Tow-tin, who roHed- a $46 series to capture the high series totals '•from the saine Leo. Thus our hoys. really gave tiso a good working over.	t
Louis Zefran took over the high Individual average positionUy holding a 160.83 average to date to hold a slight lead over Ernie Jerin, who has a 153.56 average. In the high team- game department. the Jurjovec Boosters were displaced by the Zefran Boosters, who foiled a 744 game. Tht Zefrans also took the high teanp series honors with a 2184 series. In .the Team standings, the Reliance Bisters took two gatrtes from the Jurjovec Boosters to take first place. The Zefran Boosters took two games from the Petrovič Boosters to put them in a tie for the second place with the Jurjovec's.
Enough for the Upheavals of the day. Let s hope that the future will produce just as many drastic changes, for it's games such as these that promote interest and enthusiasm in this great sport.
Ain't it the truth—no man wants to be in the nutter, whether he's bowling or out on the street.
Jr. Tomazin distinguished himself by picking up a neat 5, 7 and 10 railroad to iron out a 202 game. Jr. bas been doing pretty wejl lately, much to the surprise of your reporters. Our surprise is not in the fact that he does have ability, but rather in that he has been able to contsol that roundhouse hook of his. To give you folks an idea of the amount of hook Jr. has. we'll attempt to describe his form. He stands in the center of the alley and when he delivers the ball, it seems as though it will go off the alley at about the center of_the alley. However, it starts to hook over, comes within two inches of going off the alley and hook? right into the pocket Jr. has a let of confidence, but our hearts are in our mouths all the time.
Congratulations are in order to Vic
OUR WSA MEMBERS WITH UNCLE SAM'S ARMED FORCES
We hope to report trom time to time the names of our members who are serving in any branch of the U. S. Military Service.
We again urge all lodge secretaries and parents to send us the names of those in the service as soon as possible. and above all keep us posted on anv changes of rank, and addresses Where they are located. Please send this information either to Geo. J. Miroslavich, 3360 Vine or Anthony Jersin. 4825 Washington, Denver, Colo.
