SPLOŠNI TEDENSKE PREGLED
KONEC ITALIJE V vzhodni Afriki zaključujejo Angleži boje z Italijani. V Libiji so bili poraženi Italijani.
V	Albaniji so bili tepeni od hrabrih Grkov. Največja katastrofa je zadela Italij.ane, ko so Angleži pogreznili pet bojnih ladij, med katerimi so bile križarke: Reka, Pulj in Zadar, ostala jim je še križarka Gorica. Ta novica se čita nekako tako, da so s tem Italijani izgubili jugoslovanska mesta s preje omenjenimi imeni.
ŠTEVILKA 13 NESREČNA Jugoslavija je bila trinajsta država, katero je za dva dni po-basal v svojo požrešno malho praznoverni Hitler. Nemci sedaj bežijo iz Jugoslavije, katera je zaprla jugoslovansko-nemško mejo. Meja je odprta le pri Mariboru, kjer je dovoljen prehod Nemcev tja, kamor spadajo. Hitlerju se zdi Jugoslavija pretrd oreh, da bi se jo lotil, kajti okoli tega oreha se zbirajo Angleži, Amerikanci, Turki, Grki in Rusi, ki častita jo Jugoslovanom ter jim tudi po svojih močeh nudijo pomoč.
RUSIJA IN ČESTITKE
V	Beograd je prispela brzojavka iz Moskve, v kateri sovjetska vlada čestita novi jugoslovanski vladi ob njenem nastopu. Med drugimi pravi brzojavka tudi to: Jugoslavija se je zopet izkazala vredna svoje slavne preteklosti. T^udi predsednik Roosevelt je poslal brzojavko mlademu kralju Petru II. ter mu častital in obljubljal ameriško pomoč. Take brzojavke nekaj zaležejo, ker prihajajo od prave strani.
ZAPLENITEV LADIJ Ameriška vlada je zaplenila vse italijanske, nemške in danske parnike, ki se nahajajo v ameriških lukah, ker so Italijani pričeli uničevati svoje ladje. Zedinjene države so se posluži-le postave, katero je sprejel kongres dne 15. jurfija, 1917. Kakšen odmev bo prišel od prizadetih držav, bomo kmalu šli-šali'. Amerika je s tem pokazala, da misli resno s svojim za-pričetim delom za obrambo svetovne demokracije.
MATSUOKA SE MENDA JOKA
Japonski državnik Matsuoka, ki je prinesel bogata darila Stalinu in njegovemu prijatelju, da jih potolaži in pridobi za prijatelje, je napravil menda iz vzroka,'da mu bo pot skozi Rusijo še odprta, ko se bo vračal na Japonsko. V Berlin je prišel ob pravem času, ko se je Jugoslavija izmuznila iz Hitlerjevih rok, v Rim pa je prišel baš ob času, ko je Mussolini -izvedel strašno novico, da je uničena italijanska mornarica. Zadnja poročila pravijo, da je Italija izgubila devet bojnih ladij. In ko se bo Matsuoka zopet ustavil v Moskvi, bo lahko s solznimi očmi povedal Stalinu, da se je osišče—preklalo.
ROOSEVELT POZIVA NAROD Predsednik Roosevelt je . pozval ves ameriški narod, da naj se združi, da zada poslednji udarec diktatorjem. V svojem govoru je imel najbrže v mislih sedanje štrajke, ki ovirajo produkcijo vojnega oboroževanja. Opozoril je tudi narod, da naj pazi na vse one, ki ponujajo mir za vsako ceno. Za takimi pacifisti se skrivajo naciji.
DOBROSRČNAAMERIKA
Američanom radi očitajo ino-zemci, da so grabežljivi in da mislijo samo na kupičenje denarja. Res je, da pred desetletji Američani v splošnem niso dali dosti na umetnost in na temeljito znanstvo. Dežela je bila mlada in je kot taka morala najprej premagati naravno primitivnost; pri tem se ni utegnila dosti baviti z znanostjo in umetnostjo. Toda, ko si je materialno opomogla, si je zaželela tudi tako zvanih lepših strani življenja. Danes se ameriške znanstvene institu c i j e lahko uspešno merijo s tovrstnimi institucijami kjer koli na svetu in tudi umetnosti je Amerika odprla vrata na stežaj.
V	sedanjem času se Amerika lahko ponaša z dolgo vrsto odličnih znanstvenikov in umetnikov. Mnogi izmed njih so tukaj rojeni, mnogim v inozemstvu rojenim pa je bilo tu omogočeno razviti svoje talente ali pa nadaljevati z deli, ki so jih pričeli v njihovih rodnih krajih. Posebno tekom sedanje svetovne vojne je postala Amerika pravo pribežališče za odlične tujezem-ske znanstvenike in umetnike. Vse, kar je tozadevno ta dežela v prejšnjih časih zamudila, bo več kot nadomestila v sobodno-sti.
Vedno pa so bili Američani dobrosrčni. Kjer koli na svetu je kakšna katastrofa prizadela večje število ljudi, so bili Američani vedno pripravljeni gmotno pomagati. Pogostokrat so v take svrhe zbrali milijone dolarjev v par dneh. Nič niso vprašali, kakšnega prepričanja, kakšne vere ali polti so prizadeti ljudje. Mnogi vemo, da je bilo tako pred četrtstoletjem in prej in je še sedaj. Prispevali so in prispevajo bogati ljudje in ljudje s skromnimi dohodki. Povsod so dobra srca, ki simpatizirajo z nesrečo soljudi. Dvomljivo je, da bi se mogel z dobrosrčnostjo Američanov meriti kateri koli narod Evrope.
Tekom sedanje vojne, ki traja nekako poldrugo leto, so Američani zbrali okrog 47 milijonov dolarjev v pomoč po vojnih razmerah prizadetim ljudem. Te prispevke je zbiralo več kot 300 različnih agencij in organizacij. Dohodki so se porabljali za pomoč stradajočim Poljakom, za odpremo britiških otrok iz nevarnih krajev, v pomoč francoskim ranjencem, kot darila vojnim ujetnikom itd.
Najbolj znana in najbolj uspešna med temi dobrodelnimi organizacijami je Ameriški rdeči križ. Ta organizacija je do-sedaj zbrala skoro 22 milijonov dolarjev in od tega je izdala za pomoč v inozemstvu blizu 20 milijonov dolarjev. Vse druge slične organizacije so skupno prejele okrog.25 milijonov dolarjev in so razdelile med potrebne nad 18 milijonov dolarjev v. raznih odpomožnih oblikah. Stroški uprave pri teh organizacijah so znašali povprečno en dolar na vsakih $12.50. Najbolj ekonomično posluje organizacija za grško vojno od-< pomoč, kjer znašajo stroški uprave en dolar na vsakih 40 dolarjev. Vse organizacije, ki zbirajo prispevke za pomoč potrebnim v inozemstvu, morajo biti registrirane pri ameriškem državnem departmentu.
Ne vštevši Rdeči križ so razne odpomožne organizacije v Ameriki nabrale skoro 10 milijonov dolarjev za Veliko Britanijo in zaveznike; nad 4 milijone dolarjev za Žide v vseh de-(Dalje na 4. strani)

asa kampanja
Naprej! — Nikoli nazaj! — To naj bo naše geslo v sedanji kampanji. V Mimiesoti, odnosno na Elyu, so -prfčeli s polno paro. Sedmo poročilo napredka kampanje novega imena, katerega nam pošilja glavni tajnik Anton Zbašnik, kaže nov napredek. Druge države se pripravljajo. Vrhovni zdravnik, doktor F. J. Arch, mi piše: “Kar se tiče kampanje, Ti je znano, da smo v Pennsylvaniji počasni, ko pričenjamo ,toda vedno hitri, ko zaključujemo kampanjo.” Toje ponavl jajoča resnica v Pennsylvaniji ob vsaki naši kampanji. Tako nekako se dogaja tudi po drugih državah, ko pričenjamo naše kampanje.
Toda pričeti je potreba, če se hoče delo završiti. Zato na delo vsi, da bo kampanja novega imena vredna svojega imena. Spomlad je prišla med nas, nudi nam novih moči in pripomočkov, s katerimi lahko stopimo med svoje prijatelje, znance, sorodnike, med ljudi, s katerimi ima-' mo dnevne stike radi prijateljstva ali trgovine. Samo pomisliti je potreba, koliko zgoraj omenjenih srečamo dnevno, da še niso člani naše Ameriške bratske zveze. Spregovorite s temi ljudmi prijazno besedo o naši podporni organizaciji, priporočite jo in vpišite jih kot dobre in zdrave člane.

AMERIŠKI bivoli
V	raznih parkih in gozdnih rezervacijah Zedinjenih držav se dandanes pase okrog pet tisoč bivolov. Pred prihodom belih naselnikov v to deželo pa se ceni, da je število tega divjega govega znašalo okrog 75 milijonov glav.
KOLESLJI IZGINJAJO
Leta 1914 je bilo v Zedinjenih državah izdelanih 550,400 kolesljev in drugih vozil za konjsko vprego in 543,880 avtomobilov. Leta 1939 pa je bilo izdelanih manj kot 1000 vozil za konjsko vprego in 4,362,000 avtomobilov.
DENARNENAKAZNICE
Nabolj praktičen sistem denarnih nakaznic v Zedinjenih državah je nedvomno .čekovni sistemi. Skoro vsaka banka ima svoj čekovni račun ali oddelek in vsak posameznik ali korporacija se lahko posluži tega sistema. Pogoj je, da naloži na svoj čekovni račun določeno vsoto gotovine, nakar lahko isto črpa z nakaznicanji ali čeki. Forme čekov preskrbi navadno banka brezplačno. Na dotično formo je samo treba napisati ime osebe ali ustanove, kateri naj se nakazana vsota izplača, nakazano vsoto v številkah in besedah in podpis lastnika do-tičnega čekovnega računa, ki je shranjen na banki. Ko banka prejme tako nakaznico v izplačilo, primerja najprej podpis na čeku s podpisom, ki ga hrani za dotični čekovni račun.
Ako imam na primer čekovni račun z določeno banko v Clevelandu, lahko izdam ček do vsote, ki jo pokriva moja čekovna vloga na banki, v plačilo kateri koli osebi ali ustanovi. Ko bo ček predložen v izplačilo, se bo bančni uradnik prepričal, če je ček pravilno podpisan od prejemnika, in, kar je najbolj važno, če nosi pravi podpis izdajatelja in če izdajateljeva čekovna vloga pokriva vsoto čeka. Prejemnik, če je poznan na banki, kjer želi tak1 ček menjati, ga bo lahko menjal tam. Lahko ga pa tudi izroči v plačilo kakemu trgovcu, ki je na banki poznan, ter ga bo on zme-njal. Zadaj na čeku mora biti podpisana oseba ali ustanova, za katero je ček izdan, pod do-tičnim podpisom pa oseba ali firma, ki ček menja na banki. Zadnji podpis velja, v primeru, da bi bil ček izplačan nepravi osebi ali da bi ne bilo pokritja za istega.- Sprejemanje čekov od neznanih oseb v izmenjavo je skrajno riskirano. Ako pa bi banka izplačala ček, na katerega je nekdo drugi podpisal moje ime kot izdajatelja, trpi izgubo banka. To se seveda le malokdaj pripeti, kajti banke so v tem oziru previdne. Izgube zaradi ponarejenih čekov običajno trpijo preveč zaupljivi posamezniki, ki take čeke sopodpisuje-
jo.
Nihče naj bi torej ne izmenjal čeka ali kakšne druge denarne nakaznice, če ni popolnoma prepričan, da ga izmenja pravi in zanesljivi osebi, katero lahko drži odgovorno za povrnitev škode, če bi se ček izkazal ničvreden. Drugače pa je ček za plačilo zelo primerno sredstvo, ker če se izgubi, ne more nič koristiti nepravi osebi, in pa, ker vsak izplačan ček banka vrne izdajatelju, ki ima v istem potrdilo, da je označeno vsoto plačal osebi ali ustanovi, na katero je bil izdan in katere podpis mora biti na zadnji strani.
Pošiljanje gotovine v navadnih pismih je riskirana reč. Tako pismo se lahko izgubi in pošiljatelj ne more nikogar držati za odškodnino. Kdor želi poslati gotovino v pismu, naj isto registrira.
Ljudje, ki nimajo čekovnih računov na bankah, pošiljajo denar navadno potom poštnih nakaznic ali money orders, ki se morejo kupiti na vsakem poštnem uradu, in od katerih je treba plačati določeno pristojbino. Večji del take poštne nakaznice se pošlje v navadnem pismu osebi ali firmi, kateri je plačilo namenjeno, manjši del pa prejemnik obdrži kot potrdilo. Ako (Dalje na 4. strani)
VAŽNI DOGODKI V JUGOSLAVIJI
Pretekli teden je stopila naša rodna Jugoslavija na svetovno pozorišče. Po dolgih pogajanjih, izmikanjih in zavlačevanjih je jugoslovanska vlada pristopila v zahtevo Nemčije, da se pridruži državam osišča. Predsednik vlade Dragiša Cvetkovič in zunanji minister Aleksander Cincar-Markovich sta se podala na Dunaj, da z zastopniki Nemčije, Italije in Japonske ter v navzočnosti Hitlerja podpišeta tozadevno pogodbo.
Po omenjeni pogodbi bi bile Jugoslaviji zajamčene njene meje in nemškemu vojaštvu ne bi bil dovoljen prehod preko jugoslovanskega ozemlja, toda Nemčija bi smela po jugoslovanskih železnicah pošiljati vojaške potrebščine na balkansko fronto in nemški eksperti bi zavzeli vodilna mesta pri poljedelskih in industrijskih virih države. Jugoslovanske oblasti bi morale tudi med domačim prebivalstvom zatreti vsak izraz nepri-jateljstva do Nemčije in Italije.
Pogoji so bili trdi in jugoslovansko ljudstvo vseh slojev je protestiralo proti podpisu take pogodbe. Vsak razsodni Jugoslovan se je zavedal, da s tako pogodbo Jugoslavija samo privoli v lastno sužnost. Zasedba dežele po nemškem vojaštvu bi bilo le še vprašanje časa. Kljub temu se je jugoslovanska vlada podala pritisku Nemčije in pristala v podpis pogodbe. Usodnega dne 25. marca je bila pogodba podpisana.
Razočarani jugoslovanski narod je protestiral s številnimi demonstracijami, posebno v srbskem delu dežele in v Ljubljani je bil proglašen dan žalovanja. Berlin je bahato naznanjal svetu novo diplomatsko zmago.
Toda Berlin ni računal z jugoslovansko vojsko. Manj ko 48 ur po podpisu famoznega pakta, ob dveh zjutraj, 27. marca, je bil v Beogradu izvršen vojaški udar, ki je pometel z regen-stvom in kabinetom ter proglasil mladega kralja Petra, ki mu manjka še samo nekaj mesecev do polnoletnosti vladanje., za vladarja Jugoslavije. Ministra, ki sta podpisala pogodbo z osiščem, sta bila aretirana^ in začasno zadržana v zaporu, pozneje pa izpuščena. Bivši regent, princ Pavle je odpotoval v Atene na Grško. Sestavljeno je bilo novo ministrstvo, kateremu načeljuje general Dušan Simo-vič, ki je organiziral in izvedel vojaški udar. Mobilizacija vojske, ki je bila že prej v glaVnem izvedena, je bila povspešena, in vojaštvo brez odloga odpeljano na važne točke za obrambo meje.
Narod je sprejel spremembo vlade s silnim navdušenjem. Jugoslavija je spet našla svojo dušo, kot se je izrazil angleški premier Churchill. Pogodba z državami osišča je mrtva. Novi načelnik vlade general Dušan Si-movič je isjavil, da upa Jugoslavija ostati v prijateljskih odno-šajih z vsemi sosedi, toda vodila bo svojo neodvisno politiko.
Mladega kralja Petra II., ki je v tem resnem času vzel vlado v svoje roke, vsaj nominalno, so ljudske množice burno pozdravljale, kjer koli se je pokazal.
Prevrat v Jugoslaviji je učinkoval kot bomba v inozemstvu.
V	Nemčiji in Italiji je bil seveda njen tresk sprejet z razočaranjem, Grčija in Turčija sta ga (Dalle na 4. strani)
VSAK PO SVOJE
PASJE PREZIRANJE
Nedelja 16. marca. Ko se do dobrega otresem poznega jutranjega zaspanca, se odpravim v park. Nad vlažnimi tratami, ki so se komaj iznebile snega, vihrajo vlažne in mehke predpo-mladne sape. Nad rjavo travo so se boječe povzpeli prvi pomladni zvončki in zvonijo v čast bližajoči se pomladi. Robini, oko-matani z živordečimi kravatami, se spreletavajo tu in tam. Peti se jim še ne ljubi. Morda imajo v grlih še zimski nahod ali pa ne zaupajo dosti temu prezgodnjemu pomladnemu vremenu.
Nebo se začne oblačiti in odpeljem se v mesto. Ko privozim do urada, parkrat votlo zagrmi. Najbrž bo kaka ploha, si mislim, zavozim na dvorišče in stopim pod streho v urad. Par minut nato se že ozračje stemni, da je treba prižgati luč v sobi. Okoli vogalov hipoma zažvižgajo mrzle severne sape in iz njih se začne vsipati sneg. V nekaj minutah so ceste in strehe pobeljene. Sneg se vsiplje vedno gosteje in burja postaja vedno bolj ostra in ledena. Iluzija pomladi je docela izginila.
Vlečem cigaro, gledam razočarano skozi okno in premišljujem, kaj bi. “Pasje vreme!” zagodrnjam polglasno. To mi je dalo idejo. Nič zato, če je pasja.
V	našem bloku na 63. cesti, kamor so obrnjena okna našega uredništva, si svoji upravo
pasjih problemov pudelj neznanega pokolenja in imena. Rjav je, nekoliko podoben ovčarskemu psu, nekoliko lisjaku. Med svojimi pasjimi sobrati tega okoliša velja za nekakega župana; vsi so manjši od njega in vsi mu v spoštljivi daljavi sledijo na njegovih inšpekcijskih turah. Po vsej priliki je dober in* ^skrben župan, kajti v okolici ni slišati niti pasjega niti mačjega razgrajanja. Do tu je vse prav in nihče ne bi mu rekel slabe besede, če bi imel nekoliko več rešpekta do avtomobilistov. Toda v tem oziru ga je samo preziranje.
Skoro vsako jutro, kadar se z mojo Lizo pridrsam na 63. cesto ter se oziram po primernem prostoru za parkanje, ga že najdem na inšpekcijski turi, včasih samega, včasih v družbi njegovih kosmatih podanikov. Tega mu ne zamerim, toda zamerim mu njegovo tiho izzivanje in globoko preziranje avtomobilistov. Pasja mrha največkrat komodno zakolovrati na sredo ceste, kakih 10 ali 75 korakov pred avtomobilom sede na tla in se praska za ušesom. Kot bi hotel reči: pa me povozi, če si upaš! Kakor da ne vidi avtomobila in da ne sliši njegove grozeče trobente. Ko mu je praskanja dovolj, počasi vstane, malomarno zamahne s košatim repom in odhlača k najbližemu telegrafskemu drogu. Jaz verujem v pravico za vse, tudi za pse, toda tako preziranje mi gre včasih res malo na živce.
Včasih se mi zdi, da ima pudelj samomorilne namene in da ne bo dočakal, dobrega konca. Kaj se ve, morda je bil razočaran v svojih mladostnih upih in je zafrečkal svojo pfasjo kariero, zdaj je pa navaden pocestnik, ker pijanec po pasji konstituciji in pravilih ne more postati. Vsekakor mu ne bi bilo treba tako pasje izzivati nas avtomobilistov j n se norčevati iz naših vozi’!

1940 — Colorado Fraternal Benefit Societies
VALUATION REPORT
Made by Amerjcan Fraternal Union as of December 31, 1940, to the Insurance Department of the State of Colorado, pursuant to the requirements of law.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS REPORT NOTE CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.	This report must be filed on or	before the 3lst	dav of May, 1941.
2.	Each item in the blank should	be carefully filled out, in accordance	with
the information required.
3. The Valuation Exhibit must give in separate items for each form of certi- i ficate the present mid-year	value of future	net contributions as	contingent assets, and the present	mid-year value	of promised benefits	as	con-
tingent liabilities, or in lieu thereof the mid year net value of such certificates. Societies which use the mean of terminal reserves in_. valuing their certificates must include as advance assessments in item 11,
ppge 5 of annual statement, the pro rata unearned portions of all assessments covering insurance protection beyond December 31 of current year.
4. All death losses of whatever nature must be included in accrued liabilities in
the Valuation Exhibit.
5. The present value ol future extra assessments should be included as a part of
the contingent assets only in the event that the society has by its authorized governing board or body actually provided for the specific levy of a fixed number or amount of extra or additional future assessments.
6. If the laws of the society provide for segregation of the funds between the
various classes of members, separate Valuation Exhibits should be made for each such class in addition to a combined Valuation Exhibit, so as to define more definitely the status of the members in each class. It is not necessary to make complete separate Valuation Reports. The combined Report should, of course, be complete.
7. Loans and interest thereon which are secured by tabular reserves or accumu-
lations actually maintained on the corresponding individual certificates should be treated as a part of the assets.
Liens and interest thereon not in excess of the difference between the present value of the promised benefits and the present value of the future net, contributions on the corresponding individual certificates, should be treated in the Valuation Exhibit as a deduction from the contingent liabilities. This is on the assumption that the liens provide for the payment of interest annually or for compound interest at a rate at least as high as that assumed in the valuation of the certificate liabilities. In the case of liens which do not bear interest or which bear interest at a rate less than that assumed in the valuation of< the certificate liabilities, they should not be entered at their full face amounts, but should be entered only in the amounts of their actuarial equivalents, i. e., the single premiums at current attained ages which would provide for insurance equal in amount , to the liens and interest thereon where such single premiums are calculated on the same mortality and interest assumptions as used in the valuation of the certificate liabilities.
In lieu of following the plan outlined above, a society may show' the reserve liability for an amount of insurance equal to the face amount, less the insurance purchased by the accumulated lien as a single premium at the current attained age. In this connection the rate of interest provided for in the liens must be taken into consideration. E. g.: If the lien does not: bear interest, the reserve liability may be calculated on the net amount of insurance after deducting the amount of the lien.
8. The Valuation Exihibit is made up on the basis of excluding the expense.
sick and accident (vvtien the benefits are not valued) and special funds (i, e„ funds others than general or expense funds not available for the payment of benefits) from the Asset side and excluding the liabilities of such funds from the Liability side, except that the excess of the matured liabilities of such funds over the balances in them, if any, should be included as a part of the liabilities of the mortuary or benefit funds for valuation purposes only.
✓ If the sick and accident benefits are valued, both the assets and liabilities of the sick and accident fcunrt ahqvtld be included in the Valuation Exhibit. Borrowed money should be excluded from both the assets and the' liabilities.	 1
9. The ratio per cent of assets (actual and contingent) to liabilities (actual
and contingent) should be shown for December 31, 1917, which is the first basic date for comparison referred to in the valuation sections of both the Mobile and New York Conference bills. The percentages should also be shown for the current and four prior years.. In making comparisons of the above percentages of solvency between various years, the ratios for all years should, of course, be calculated on the same basis.
10. In connection with the Valuation Exhibit on the "Accumulation Basis”—
Section 23-b Method—use is made of a part of the Valuation Exhibit on the Section 23-a Method—Basis other than Accumulation. In this case the latter Exhibit is not required to be completely fljled out.
11. The items of assets and liabilities must check with the corresponding items
in the Annual Statement. These items of information shall be furnished by an official of the society to the actuary or accountant who shall include them in the Valuation Exhibit
12. This Valuation Report must be ’certified by a competent actuary or ac-
countant, or verified by the actuary of the department of insurance of the State in which the society is domiciled.
13. Publication in official journals (or, in lieu thereof, communications to indi-
vidual members) shall be made of the results of valuation in form identical with that of the Valuation Exhibit to Insurance Departments, with explanations.
14. When furnishing copy of the Annual Report to the Actuary or Accountant
(unless he has personal knowledge of the facts) the Secretary (or other Qualified officer) of the Society shall definitely give the amounts of the non-admltted assets and of the expense fund and of other funds held for relief or other special purposes and not primarily for the payment of claims, and shall answer the following questions:
15. If the laws of the society provide for the segregation and trusteeing <?f the
reserves or funds of any class or classes of certificates, a separate Valuation Exhibit and “Form of explanation for publication” shall be attached to this report in respect of each such class and be furnished to all members irrespective of class, through the official publication of the society or otherwise.

two to obtain:
(e)	$158,487.07,	Expected gross death	losses during the current year.
(f)	The above	calculations were made	on basis of American Experience
and N. F. C. tables of mortality.
(g) The insurance in force and death losses tabulated according to attained ages may be taken from Schedule VI, page 6, of the annual
; j	statements for the previous and current years. The insurance in
force and death losses in Schedule VI should be reported according
• I	to the attained ages on the anniversaries of the certificates during
the current year. For example: The insurance in force and death losses as of December 31, 1940, should be reported according to toe attained ages on the anniversaries of the certificates during the year 1940.
(h) The qx_|_n to be used in any particular instance is the probability of dying or death rate, on the basis of the mortality table used in
'	the valuation, at the attained age shown in Schedule VI opposite the
-1	amount of insurance or death losses by which it is to be multiplied.
1 1	(i) Item (a.), above is the sum of the products of the q for each attained
•	age multiplied by the amount of insuratlce in force at each such age
' ;	on December 31 of the previous year.

- (	at risk.
j j 90. Expected Mortality on Net Amount at Risk.
Societies whose percentages of valuation solvency are 100% or better have the option of calculating the expected mortality on the net instead of the gross amount at risk. Such societies may also calculate the interest required to maintain reserve and the gains and losses from interest in accordance with the methods outlined in the printed report of toe Sub-commmittee on Fraternal Blanks to the Committee on Blanks of the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners Re: Adoption of a Gain and Loss Exhibit for Fraternal societies, dated May 17, 1920. Societies which avail themselves of the above options must attach, an outline of their calculations which conform to the methods in the Sub-0	committee’s report referred to above.

items 35 (other than legal expenses included in insurance expenses), 37 and all items in lines 39 to 43 inclusive, applying exclusively to investment expenses. To the foregoing sum add unallocated expenses which ;	may properly be considered as investment expenses	(but not in excess of
;	% of 1 per-cent of mean ledger assets) and deduct any income items
;	which may properly be considered as an offset to	investment expenses.
The investment expenses of general or. expense funds should be excluded in the above calculations. Attach exhibit.

valuing the benefits and contributions under each form, together with the amount of insurance in force, must be given by the actuary or accountant with answers to the following questions:
24. State toe method of valuation used (whether level net premium, full pre-
liminary term, straight modified preliminary term, Illinois Standard, etc.). Answer: Illinois Standard except N. P. C. 4% Ordinary Life level net j premium.
Has the Society during the past five years for any class of certificates changed its valuation procedure or formulae so as to affect its solvency percentage? No. If so, explain fully: —
Did the Society exclude from the valuation required, in Schedule A any suspended certificate where toe member under toe by-laws was eligible I for reinstatement without evidence of insurability? Answer: No.
25. State the Mortality and Interest Assumptions employed in the Valuation. ’
Answer: (Use schedule A on last page.)
26. 1 a) Have the negative reserves on individual certificates been eliminated
from the Valuation Exhibit? Answer: Yes.
(b). What is the total amount of negative reserves on individual certificates? Answer: $—None.
The term, “Negative Reserve,” refers to the excess of the present value of toe | future net contributions over the present value of the promised benefits.
(c). Does the society charge redundant net rates of contribution, i. e., net: rates in excess of the tabular net rates (on the basis of the mortality table and interest assumptions used in the valuation)? Answer: No.
(d). If so, state the amount of the present value of such excess contributions, and also state the intended purpose thereof. Answer: $—None.
(e). If a society, which uses tabular values in making its valuation, charges net rates of contribution lower than the tabular net rates (on the basis of the mortality table and interest assumptions used in the valuation), it must set up an additional reserve to cover the deficiency in such rates calculated on a basis not less than one providing for the accumulation as a pure endowment under a level net annual rate of contribution of a sum at the end of not more than 20 years from the issue of each certificate equal to the present value at that time of the difference between the net rate charged under each certificate and the tabular net rate of contribution used in the valuation of toe same certificate.
(f). Has toe requirement of item 26 (e) been complied with? Answer: Yes,
If so, on what basis was the deficiency reserve calculated? Answer: None.
(g). State the amount of such deficiency reserve, if any. Answer: $—None.
27. In the determination of the ratio per cant of assets to liabilities, according j
to the method of valuation prescribed by the fraternal insurance law of the State of Colorado, there must be eliminated the funds not available for the payment of future claims under contracts of insurance and the “nonadmitted assets!” other than certificate liens, loans and interest thereon; provided that toe total of such indebtedness on any certificate include in the Valuation Exhibit shall not be greater than the excess of the present value of the promised benefits over the present value of toe future net contributions under said certificates, as shown by the method of valuation assumed by the society in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado.	x
Have the above requirements been complied with? Answer: Yes.

(N. B. The following is to be used onlv where the ratio of assets to liabilities is equal to or in excess of 100'-; .)
53. The above valuation indicates that, on the basis of the A. E., NFC & St. Ind. table of mortality with interest at 3 4 & 4 per cent., the future assessments ol he :;ociety. at the net rates now being collected, together with the now invested
assets, are sufficient	tp meet all certificates as they mature by their	terms,	with
a	margin ol safety	of $647,681.14 (or 33.16',; ) over and above the	statutory!
standards.
(N. B. The following is to be used when the ratio of assets to liabilities is less than 100', .)
54. The abote valuation is in conformity with statutory requirements, and is not to be regarded as a test of financial solvency in any action that n>ay arise, but is made to determine the amount the- Society should have on hand to pay Its future obligations without change iu the basis of collection on the assumptions that its mortality will be the same as that set forth in the	mortality
table and that toe rate of interest eai;ned will be	per	cent.

ki so pričeli pripravljati svoja gnezda.
Nevem, v kateri bolnišnici je urednik Anton J. Terbovec, da bi mu pisal, zato naj kar tem potom sprejme moje pozdrave ter prisrčno voščilo, da bi kaj kmalu ozdravil.
Matija Pogorelc.
Collinivood, O. — Društvo Marije Vnebovzetje št. 103 Ameriške bratske zveze bo praznovalo 30-letnico dne 26. aprila, 1941. Vsak se veseli svojega rojstnega dne ali pomembne obletnice, zato je društvo sklenilo, da priredi svoj zabavni večer s proslavo. Vstopnina bo samo 50 centov in serviralo se bo večerjo. Veselični odbor je pridno na delu. Preskrbeli smo Ma-lovašičev orkester, da bodo ple-saželjni lahko plesali. Tudi s pijačo bo preskrbljeno, da si bo lahko vsak ugasil žejo. Gotovo se ne boste kesali, ako pridete na našo proslavo, kjer boste srečali naše ustanoviteljice.
Društvo je bilo ustanovljeno dne 23. aprila, 1911. Mnogo dobrih in aktivnih članic krije že ameriška zemlja. Med ustanoviteljicami so še žive in članice društva sledeče: Agnes Kral, Mary Ivančič, Mary Laurich, Jožefa Mustar, Roza Jakos, Johana Gorišek, Mary Rajer in Mary Vinšek. Častitam tem našim ustanoviteljicam, ki so še vse na delu in vedno gledajo za korist društva.
Sklenjeno je bilo, da vsaka članica plača eno vstopnico, za- 8 torej ne pozabite prihodnji mesec priložiti še 50 centov za vstopnico.
Članice, prosim, udeležite se prihodnje seje dne 20. aprila, kar mogoče polnoštevilno, da se dobro pripravimo za našo veselico in proslavo. Vsaka pomoč in vsak nasvet je dober za društvo številka 103 Ameriške bratske zveze.
Anna Kovach, tajnica.
Chisholm, Minn. — članicam društva Sloga št. 230 Ameriške bratske zveze naznanjam, da ne bomo im^le seje na drugi četrtek v mesecu, kakor je bilo sedaj v navadi, ampak naša seja bo tretji četrtek in sicer dne 17. aprila zvečer.
Članice sto vabljene, da se v polnem številu udeležite te seje, ker same veste, da odbor sam ne more dosti ukreniti v korist društva in Zveze. Na seji bo tudi nadzorni odbor podal svoje poročilo o stanju društva v zadnjih treh mesecih.
Vesele velikonočne praznike vsemu članstvu Ameriške bratske zveze.
S sestrskim pozdravom,
Mary Žurga, tajnica.
' \ Imperial, Pa. — Društvo sv. Jožefa št. 29 ABZ v Imperial, Pa. preklicuje veselico, katero je nameravalo prirediti dne 30. maja, 1941. Vzrok temu je, ker se bo dvorano, v kateri bi se morala vršiti veselica, popravilo in prebarvalo, toda delo ne bo dovršeno do omenjenega dne.
John Virant, tajnik.
Center, Pa. — Ker se bodo vršile kegljaške tekme Ameriške bratske zveze 20. aprila in ker se hoče več naših članov udeležiti te kegljaške tekme, in ker je na isti dan tudi naša društvena seja, zato je bilo sklenjeno, da se našo mesečno društveno sejo preloži na drugo nedeljo, to je 13/aprila, pričetek ob 2. uri popoldne. Na tej seji imamo več važnih stvari za rešiti, zato se prosi članstvo društva št. 33, da se prav gotovo udeležijo te važne seje.
Poročano je bilo že, da se naša veselica vrši na dan 19. aprila v Slovenskem domu na Center, Pa. Zato ob tej priliki še enkrat vabim vsa sosedna društva, da nas posetijo na omenjeni večer.

JANKO N. ROGELJ, GL. PREDSEDNIK:
NASA MLADINA
V mladini je rast, moč in bodočnost, če je ob danem razvoju pravilno poučena in vzgojena. Mladina sama poprijema za delo, izraža svoje misli in dela končne zaključke, ako se ji daje potrebno priliko in pripomočke, potom katerih more prihajati na svoje lastno obzorje. Mladina hoče živeti ter se udejstvovati, toda napeljana morajo biti pota, ki so mikavna in privlačna, toda ne prerazskošna, da bi se mladina preobjedla, pomehkužila in pokvarila.
Mladina pa mora imeti duševno naobrazbo, katera je prvi predpogoj, da more samostojno misliti ter presojati. Duševno zadovoljstvo bolj obogati mladino, kakor bogastvo v denarju, ker že njeni naravni razvoj hrepeni po samoljubju, priznanju in duševnih vrednotah, katerih ne more kupiti denar in ne vzeti tat ali depresija. Znanje je človekovo največje bogastvo, ki je tudi nedotakljivo in njegovo samostojno premoženje.
To je imela v mislih tudi naša zadnja konvencija, ki je storila dalekosežen in dalekoviden prehod v življenju in napredovanju naše Ameriška bratske zveze. Ko je
konvencija odglasovala, da se strino nastavi v uredništvo Nove Dobe urednika angleškega čtiva, takrat je napravila potezo v bodočnost ter začrtala smernice, po katerih bo hodila naša mladina, ki je včlanjena v mladinskem in odraslem oddelku naše podporne bratske organizacije.
Skoro gotovo zadnja konvencija ne bi bila napravila tega zaključka, da ni imela pred seboj preiskušeno moč, ki se je pokazala v vsem svojem zavzemanju in prirojenem izražanju naravno talentirana sila, ki lahko govori z našo mladino, se smeje ž njimi, lahko pripoveduje v resnem tonu ali pa razpravlja tako svobodno in demokratično, da je v njegovih mrtvih črkah živa in magična privlačnost, katere se hoče naša naobražena mladina nasititi ter s tem obogateti na duševnem razpoloženju in zadovoljstvu.	t
Ta moč in sila je bila v sedanjem uredniku angleškega čtiva, v sobratu Stan Pechaverju ali Little Stanu, kot ga poznajo naši mladi in stari čitatelji Nove Dobe.
Zadnja konvencija ni napravila napake. V kratkih treh mesecih je zagorela noVa luč na straneh angleškega čtiva. Odziv prihaja tako krepak, jedernat in pozitiven, da z vsakim tednom odjekne nov odmev iz te ali one slovenske naselbine v Ameriki. In kako prijetno je prebirati neprecenljivo mjadinsko pisanje in izražanje, kako izrazevito in močno postaja mladostno modrovanje fanta in dekleta, ki se s svojim duševnim zakladom izpušča v javno življenje. A v največje veselje je meni to, da se je pričela ta mladina udejstvovati pri nas, ki rabimo mlade in ustvarjajoče moči za razširjenje vaše in moje Ameriške bratske zveze.
Vi vsi člani in članice, ki ste starši naših mladinskih članov ali članic, opomnite jih na čtivo na angleških straneh Nove Dobe. Tam je njih duševna hrana, na-obtazba in razvedrilo. Zainteresirajte jih v to čtivo ali branje, povejte jim malo več o naši bratski organizaciji, katere ime je: American Fraternal Union.
Naše glasilo Nova Doba je pač tisti pripomoček, s katerim seznanjamo vse člane in članice o razvoju in napredovanju naše organizacije; naše glasilo je tudi tedenska vez med posameznimi člani, potom katere se medsebojno pomenimo; naše glasilo pa mora služiti še višjemu namenu in smernicam, ko zbira skupaj našo ameriško mladino ter jo organizira v potrebno in važno ameriško bratsko skupino, ki bo iz njih napravila brate in sestre skupnega razumevanj^ o nalogah samaritanstva in samo-1 pomoči, ki je temelj in vir prve človeške samoosvojitve. V naših ameriških podpornih skupinah se uči in vzgaja ljudi tako, da poznajo, in cenijo demokratično izražanje in ustvarjanje. Ko bo naša mladjna doznala, da smo naso organizacijo prilagodili in prikrojili njihovim vsakdanjim; ameriškim zahtevam, se jo bo oprijela s srcem in razumom tako tesno, da ji bo najbližja in najbolj bratska podporna skupina v Ameriki.
Mi starejsi Člani in članice pa pridno zasledujmo pisanje naše mk'ijse generacije, da se poučimo o njih težnjah in zahtevah. Bolj jih bomo razumevali, manjši bo prepad mod staro in novo generacijo. Moj namen je, da bi ne bili tujci v naši lastni organizaciji.
Iz urada glavnega tajnika oA. B. Z.•
Ely, Minnesota, dne 27. marca, 1941.
RAZPIS SPLOŠNEGA GLASOVANJA O PREDLOGU GL. ODBORA A. B. Z.
V smislu točke 255 prejšnjih in sedanjih pravil izdaja Ameriška bratska zveza tudi 20-letne ustanovne certifikate (20-year endowment certificates), ki pa niso izrecno avtorizirani v točki III ČlenovInkorporacije, (Articles of Incorporation), in v točki 4, podtočka “b,” ustave in pravil.
Zavarovalninske oblasti zahtevajo, da se ta pomanjkljivost v Členih Inkorporacije in v točki 4, podtočka “b,” popravi, da bosta obe točki soglašali s točko 255 ustave in pravil.
Točka III Členov Inkorporacije se zdaj glasi kot sledi: “Article III. The object of the association is to unite fraternally male and female persons of the white race between the ages of 16 and 55, who are eligible to membership, for their social, intellectual and moral welfare and to provide death, funeral, sick, accident and welfare benefits for its members or their beneficiaries, which benefits are paid out of funds derived from assessments collected from its members as provided for in the Constitution and By-laws of the association.”
Točka 4, podtočka “b,” se zdaj glasi: “Plačevati podpore bolnim in onemoglim članom in smrtnine njih pravomočnim in zakonitim dedičem.
V namenu, da se zahtevi zavarovalninskih avtoritet zadosti, je glavni odbor potom referenduma št. 2 - 1941 in na podlagi točke 65 ustave in pravil odobril sledeči predlog, katerega se tem potom stavi članstvu na
SPLOŠNO GLASOVANJE.
Ali se naj Točka III Členov Inkorporacije spremeni, da se bo glasila kot sledi: “Article III. The object of the association is to unite fraternally male and female persons of the white race between the ages of 16 and 55, who are eligible to membership, for their social, intellectual and moral welfare j and to provide death, funeral, sick, accident, indemnity, welfare and endowment benefits for its members or their beneficiaries, which benefits are paid out of funds derived from assessments collected from its members as provided for in the I Constitution and By-laws of the association.”
Ali se naj podtočka “b,” točke 4, ustave in pravil spremeni, da se bo glasila kot sledi: “b) Plačevati svojim članom in njih : dedičem smrtninske, pogrebne, bolniške, poškodninske, odškod-! ninske, dobrodelne in ustanovne podpore.”
DA	NE
tisoč milijonov dolarjev takih money ordrov. To kaže, da je finančna transakcija federalne pošte izredno velika. Ako se poštni money order izgubi ali če ga prejemnik iz enega ali drugega vzroka ne izmenja in če j se pošiljatelj ne prijavi za du-j plikat ali povračilo, ostane vpla-! čani denar poštnemu depart-imentu. V knjigah poštnega de-[partmenta je označenih za več kot $17,500,000 takih pozabljenih in neizplačanih money ordrov; nekateri datirajo celo nazaj do ameriške civilne vojne.

navdušeno pozdravili; Anglija je obljubila Jugoslaviji pomoč, 'če bi jo Nemčija napadla; za sli-i čen primer ji je tudi Amerika zagotovila materialno pomoč. Ko se je v Marselju, v neokupi-rani Franciji, raznesla vest, da j je jugoslovanska vojska vrgla apizarsko vlado in se uprla za-j htevam vsemogočne Nemčije, so se začele zbirati množice na prostoru, kjer je bil leta 1934 ubit : jugoslovanski kralj Aleksander in kmalu je na kraju tragedije zrasla taka gora vencev in ; šopkov, da je bila policija zaradi oviranja prometa prisiljena prostore zastražiti.
Desettisočglava množica Fran-i cozov, ki trpko občutijo nemško j nadvlado doma, je prepevala marzeljezo in vzklikala Jugosla-! viji, katera je na svoj način po-i kazala, da ne bo poljubila Hi-itlerjevega čevlja, razen če jo k 'temu prisili bridki meč.

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA TO BE FEATURED AT TOURNAMENT DANCE
Mi
issouri Eagles Lodge No. 87, AFU Have Organized Junior Group; Active Also In Campaign!
By Little Stan
Indianapolis, Ind. — Committees of Lodge 45, AFU of Indianapolis, are sparing no effort to make the Seventh Annual National AFU Tenpin tournament, the mošt talked of sports event in history. From meeting to meeting plans are rehashed and each week finds everyone completing another forward step toward the success of the approaching classic.
AT THE LAST MEETING, LODGE 45 DECIDED THAT A SPORTSMANSHIP Trophy would be awarded TO SOME OUT OF TOWN TEAM. THIS IN ADDITION TO A HOST OF SPARKLING PRIZES FOR THE TOP NOTCHERS AND A PLANNED PROGRAM OF ENTERTAINMENT THAT SHOULD FIND EVERYBODY HAVING A SWELL TIME IN THE SPEEDWAY CITY.
There are only six more weeks to go before tournament time. Deadline is April 15th, and every lodge should be sure to have their entry blanks and fees in on time!
Adding to colorful entertainment being planned Melovasic’s Blue Jackets orchestra of Cleveland, O.—one of the feal good up and coming orchestras ot this metropolis has been booked to play for the Tournament Ball, scheduled on Saturday night, May 10th. This outfit can really play thosfe good old polkas and waltzes, besides any kind of “Beat Me Daddy” numbers you may call for. The Blue Jackets were on the Roosevelt Birthday Ball show at the Slovene National Home in Cleveland, and also play for many dances in that section. They are being recognized as real musical aces. And they’re, anxious to come to Indianapolis!
AT THE BOWLING BANQUET TWO SUPREME OFFICERS OF THE AFU ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT. WHO THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE
IS NOT OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS YET, BUT IT APPEARS THERE WILL BE THREE.
Mentioned are Bro. Janko N. Hogelj, supreme president; Bro.
F. E. Vranichar, supreme trustee; and Bro. Anton Krapefic, fourth supreme vice-president. But we will see!
A couple of crackerjack Indianapolis bowlers — members of Lodge 45, AFU—Martin Bar-barich and John Bright have already entered the doubles and singles events.
ONE LOOK AT THE CLASSY ALL-EVENTS MEDAL WAS ENOUGH TO GIVE THE BOYS AN IDEA TO SEE IF THEY COULD TAKE IT.
Both of these boys hold pretty nice records in the local league.
Another thing to think about I is where you would like to have | the tenpin tournament in 1942?
This—event, time, and place —will be decided at the bowling banquet—so get your bids ready!
There will be more.news later. Keep your eyes peeled on this weekly column of what will happen.
GET YOUR ENTRY FEES AND BLANKS IN BY APRIL J5TH, AND THEN PRACTICE UP AND PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES IN INDIANAPOLIS, MAY 9th, 10th, and 11th.	'
Louis Milharčič, Jr., tourney secretary, Lodge 45, AFU.
A post card from Edward Win. Evanish, athlitib supervisor of Lodge No. 6, AFU of Lorain, Ohio, notifies tltal the lodge will be represented definitely by a women's team and very probably a men’s team.
Lodge No. 87 has agreed to jack Mary Beg of 4603 Olden->erg avenue, as delegate to the Fourth Juvenile Convention. If t is anywhere near possible, Miss Kodelja may also qualify. Says.Miss Kodelja:
“WE SHALL ALL WORK VERY HARD TO TRY TO SEND AT LEAST ONE DELEGATE!”
“As soon jjs the quota is reached for Mary Beg, I will also work so that I may be a delegate, as I know that everyone who attends the convention will have a good time.”
“WE'LL KEEP PLUGGING AND HOPE THAT WE CAN ALL MEET AT THE FOURTH JUVENILE CONVENTION IN ELY.”
ONWARD BETSY ROSS!
By Dorothy Rossa
Cleveland, 0. — We’re rushing back into print before anymore of our reading public (we too, can dream, can’t we?) threaten to disown us for not writing our “supposed-to-be” weekly Column. The trouble is we’ve been so busy gathering column material — (ah-hem) that is attending dances, meetings, etc.—we haven’t found the time to sit down and type up the results. But this week we’re starting to reform and we’ll be right there with a column every week (we hope).
Last night we had the opportunity of hearing some homemade records which the Indianapolis gang had sent to Cleveland after the last bowling tournament in Cleveland. And now we’re more sure than ever it’s “Indianapolis, here we come.” We’re saving our pennies and we hope the rest of you are too. May 9, 10 and 11 seem mighty far away right now but they’ll be here before we know it. What’s more—we understand that somewhere in Indianapolis there are some Cleveland-made records that we shouldn’t hear but which Rosemary definitely has made up her mind to locate. All of you Betsy Ross members who plan to bowl in the National AFU Tournament in Indian apolis in May 9, 10 and 11, please be sure to attend the very important meeting on Thursday, April 10th. At this time the entries will be made out and the team line-ups made. All girl bowlers are asked to be sure and attend, too. We’re very anxious to have two Betsy Ross girl teams and we need all you gals. At this meeting, we will also decide the question of what the girls and fellows will wear in the way of uniforftis. So if you have any ideas as to what you would like to wear, come to the meeting and tell us about it.
Tournaments are always a lot of fun and with a gang like Betsy Ross and our neighbors, the Boosters* St. Johns, Ilirska Vila and others we’re bound to have one grand time. And we hope to see all of you there.
A few weeks ago, we met som^ more Brigaiders. The Brigadiers are a Detroit branch of the AFU. Maybe some day we’ll get a chance to attend one of their Socials and get to know the rest of them. Ella and Tony Meyers are the first two Brigadiers we met and they sure make good representatives for the lodge. Recently we were introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Spen-dall. Mrs. Spendall was the former Jo Travnik. We had a very nice talk with Jo and we think she is pretty nice. We’re really looking forward to seeing and becoming acquainted with the rest of the members.
We hope that the better-half (now don’t get mad, Stan) of the Editorial staff of the Nova Doba has now recovered and is back in the old groove again. After that report of Little Stan’s about the remarks (or should I say demonstrations) a (Continued on page 6)

Office of the Supreme Secretary oAFU
NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS!
Under date of March 21, 1941, the supreme secretary of A. F. U. addressed the following question to the members of the Supreme Board for a decision:
“REFERENDUM NO. 4, 1941.
The 16th regular convention adopted an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the American Fraternal Union, known as Article VIII, which reads as follows:
“The Articles of Incorporation of the association and the Constitution and By-laws of the association may also be amended by way of referendum of the members of the association as said referendum is provided for by the Constitution and By-laws of the -association.”
The convention, however, did not strike out from the Constitution and By-laws that part of Section 65 which would forbid the amending of the Articles of Incorporation by way of referendum, but would reserve that right to the convention only. (This limitation may be found in the English text of the Constitution and By-laws only and was never incorporated in the Slovene text.)
By adding Article \fHI to the Articles of Incorporation,
which are the basic law of the society, it is my opinion that the convention intended, and by the adoption of said Article VIII did so decree, that this restriction be removed and that henceforth the Articles of Incorporation may also be amended by a referendum vote of the members. The undersigned, therefore, moves that the Supreme Board, acting under authority glinted to .theih under Sections 63 and 69, adopt my interpretation and definition of Section 65 and that said restriction be stricken therefrom.
An imVnediate reply is requested.
Fraternally yours,	,	•
(Signed) ANTON ZBASNIK, Supreme Secretary.” In view of the fact that all of the members of the Supreme Board voted affirmatively on said motion, the words “except those contained in the Articles of Incorporation” appearing in the fourth sentence of Section 65 of the English text of the Constitution and By-laws of the American Fraternal Union are hereby eliminated therefrom.

PRESENTING FAMOUS AFU DUCKPIN PLAQUE
Lodges No. 40 of Claridge; and No. 26 of Pittsburgh Seek Permanent Possession at Contest Which Will Highlight 7th Annual National AFU Duckpin Tourney in Pittsburgh April 19th and 20th
(Story compiled by Editorial Staff)
Pittsburgh, Pa. — Digging into the files of 1939, Little Stan discovered this photograph showing the Champion AFU Duckpin team from Claridge, Pa., Lodge 40 who copped the title in 1939, and duplicated the feat in 1940.
Inasmuch as the plaque, be-injg held in the picture by Nick Yakovich, athletic Supervisor of the Claridge team, is depicted, it wasy thought this would be a wonderful chance to show other AFU Members what the “battle of the Century” would be over.
That’s what it looks like.
For this trophy, two teams— Claridge Lodge 40 and St. Stephen’s Lodge No. 26 of Pittsburgh will battle as a feature of the Seventh Annual National AFU Duckpin Tournament in Pittsburgh, Pa., April 19th and 20th!
FOR, TtlE WINNER-PERMANENT POSSESSION OF THIS PLAQUE!
Each team has won it twice!
THIS WILL BE A MATCH GAME' YOU'LL HAVE TO MARK OFF ON! THE C ALENDAR AS “NOT TO BE MISSED!"
In the photograph are depicted, standing—left to right— John Utzman and Angelo Bran-chetti; seated left to right—
Joe Halucka, Nick Yakovich, and Frank Supancic.
In 1940, Claridge edged out St. Stephen’s No. 26 by the slender margin of only eight pins! The final score was 2208' to 2200.
JUST IMAGINE IF YOU CAN—WITH THE COMPETITION SO KEEN—WHAT A THRILLING ENCOUNTER THIS WILL BE! YOU CAN’T MISS IT!
Back in 1939—you duckpin fans will remember the sensational bowling cf Santo Vlah of Pittsburgh!
For real thrills, entertainment, and excitement, you can’t pass up this Seventh Annual National Duckpin Tournament —of the AFU—Only three weeks away!
And a note from L. P. Bo-berg, tournament manager with which was ,also enclosed a sample of that beautiful souvenir which will be given to each and every bowler that attends the tournament! Say! You ought to see it! It’s a beauty—and— well—you’d just better attend that tournament, that’s all!
Get your teams together. Mail in your entry blanks and fees! Deadline is nearing!
Cleveland, O. — A real Ame-j | rican Fraternal family is the j ! way Little Stan writes it in his i j column. It is very true too —
| about the Startz family. Con-I gratulations are extended to you from all! First, Miss Florence | D. Startz, regular and mighty ! swell contributor to the Juve-
i
nile Page qualifies to the Fourth Juvenile Convention to be held in Ely. Second, sister Margaret Mary qualifies. She too is taking up the Startz name in the field of journalism. Third, Mother, Mrs. Startz qualifies as second honorary delegate. This is certainly some fine spirit and showing for our Union. Other candidates should now look up to the Startz family. Imagine, three delegated from one family! Hats off, from all the AFU members to Mrs. Startz and daughters, Florence and Margaret.
That was a fine article you had written about your Collin-wood Booster lodge, Joe. What about another one soon? Don’t forget members that the next meeting will be held April 18, the date before the great National Duckpin tournament.
Heard that George Washington lodge, is sending a team to participate in the Duckpin tournament. This news was given to ;me by Matthew Molk, who for years has been the captain of Geo. Wash, team in duckpins. The lodge is all for John “Bub’’ Kardell who is candidating for the honor of Honorary delegate. Lots of luck, Bub.
Swell reports from Rudy Su-pancic’s column concerning the Duckpin tournament. Learned from his column that the juveniles can participate too, ages from 16-18. Don’t worry about AFU members enjoying themselves. The AFU’ers always have a good time, no matter where or when.
Sunday, April 6 at 10:00 a. m. the Ohio Federation will begin its meeting at the Slovenian National Home, 65th St. Clair. Representatives of individual lodges are all expected to attend. Members of the AFU may also be present.
Deepest sympathies to Mrs. Richards (Stan’s sister), daughter Rosemary and to the Pecha-ver family for the loss of husband, father and brother-in-law. Yes, Stan I’m sure all the members understood in your difficulty in keeping on with your column. “May the soul of your beloved husband; Mr. Richards, rest in peace forever.”
Read the article on “Defense” by our supreme medical examiner, Dr. Arch. Every point in his article should be carefully
watched. It is true that many people who get small sores or small sickness don’t take care of it. This, then develops into something big. You’re sorry afterwards. But change—see your doctor as soon as some small sickness does occur.
Lodge Slovenec, No. 114 qualifies a juvenile delegate and honorary delegate. Congratulations to Elizabeth Toljan who will attend Fourth Juvenile Convention and to Mrs. A. Glavan who is the honorary delegate. This makes the total of 9 delegates already. Am just wondering who will be the first one to take the spotlight in the Ohio campaign. Am just wondering ..
Did you readers notice how many articles were written by the juveniles last week — 18 altogether. Isn’t that just grand, to see our juveniles taking so much interest in the paper and organization itself? Now more of the juveniles should be encouraged by their parents to candidate for the convention and have the opportunity to see how a Teal convention is held. What about it parents ? Do you think you could give your child a wonderful Opportunity by helping him so he or she would be able to attend the convention as a delegate and never be sorry afterwards. Then they would be thankful to you forever — because you helped him be a candidate just once again to the Fourth Juvenile Convention. Give it a big, big thought parents — seeing your child as a delegate.
Two lodges of Cleveland will have important meetings this month. Lodge Napredek, No. 132 will hold their meeting, Wednesday, April 9 at the Slovenian Society Home, Euclid, Ohio at 7:30 p. m. Members are all urged to attend. On Easter Sunday, April 13 Ilirska Vila, No. 173 will hold their meeting at 10:0 a. m. at the SNH. Spring is here! Are you enjoying it ? I certainly am. Why just last Sunday morning I got up early and took an hour’s walk. Could smell the sweet air all around me, honestly ... everything so quiet and peaceful... birds singing. Oh, spring is mighty nice to have, nice when you can live in a country as Americans and enjoy it. So this Sunday afternoon, I don’t want to indulge in my writing anymore because I think it’s a shame for me to sit in the house and not enjoy the days of spring outdoors. And while I’m outside I might go somewhere to get a new member for our Union. So it will be a so long until next week again, members. Your AFU correspondent, EMD, signs off.
Western Sisters, Lodge 190, oAFU Change ^Meeting Date
Butte, Mont. — At our recent meeting held March 20, 1941, it was decided to change the time of our regular meetings to the second Wednesday of each month. This on account of bank nights at the local theatres on Thursday nights.
Plans are now underway for presentation of a play to be held some time in May; and a picnic, scheduled sometime in July.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ELY, MINN., DELEGATES IN OUR NEW NAME CAMPAIGN! WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH BUTTE?
Now don’t forget the change in our meeting dates. Remember —the SECOND WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH.

Onward Betsy Ross!
(Continued from page 5)
certain person made after our last visit we’re cheering for his very speedy recovery.
Incidentally we had the pleasure again of having Little Stan present at our last monthly meeting. By the way, Stan, we’re not trying to rush you (much) but isn’t it about time you became a Betsy Ross, too?
Some one of these days we’re going to take him up on that invitation to pay a visit and give our approval to the bachelors’ apartment. From what we hear it sounds pretty nice. Better warn Mr. Terbovec that we’re coming. By the way how are you two at cooking? We’ll even invite ourselves up to supper.
Another Betsy Ross has gone the way of all draftees this year. This time it’s Morris De-benak that said goodbye. It shouldn’t take too long for Uncle Sam to make a good soldier out of you, Sailor. Now Joe Novak has company at camp.
We understand Joe seems to like it alright and from other sources we hear that the food agrees very well with him. According tp the latest reports, he is still gaining. Take it out on Nick, Jo. He’s the one that told us.
Yep — Collinwood isn’t the same anymore. Even J. P. Morgan is threatening to leave “any day now.” We wonder who the next Betsy Ross fellow Will be.
We hope to be able to attend the AFU federation meeting Sunday, April 6th. It has been a “must attend” event on our calendar for a long time but somehow or'other we haven’t got there yet. So maybe this time we will. Pittsburgh is certainly a great town for duckpins. And this year’s National AFU Duckpin Tournament, set for April 19-20, should draw a large crowd. We expect to have a good representation of Betsy Ross members thei'e on that weekend—if not to bowl—at least to cheer.
The AFU campaign for new members is still on. So all you Betsy Ross folks, let’s try to get more new members for our lodge. Betsy Ross is right up there on top with the best of them and the only way we can keep here there is to get in more new people with new ideas. So if you know of any one that is interested or may get interested in the lodge, go right after them. Remember the more the merrier.
It may seem early now—but we’re reminding you to encircle in red the days July 12, 19, and 26—the Betsy Ross barn dances. A different orchestra each night. Johnny Pecon and his orchestra, Frank Yankovich and his musicians, and Frank Mala-vasec’s Blue Jackets have be&i engaged to play for the dancers. As per usual, we promise you a “rip-roaring time” or your money back.
Our hope is, and no doubt other lodges’ hope, too—that some day our members will remember to attend the monthly meetings. Last month, by the time the meeting was on its last lap, there was a nice group assembled. Maybe the best idea would be to start the meeting at the other end and work forward. Little Stan pulled the name of J. P. Morgan as the winner of the monthly award. This is the second time his name has been pulled this year. What do you pay them, J. P.? After the meeting Little Sian, Rosemary, J. P., Patsy Krall, and Yours Truly decided to try their luck at bowling. The first four proved that they were star bowlers but even those shoes of J. P. couldn’t help my score much.

of course, the quota is not as large as in other states. But wait until these other states report! They’ll make headlines.

Our Magic Carpet Juvenile Page is flooded with interesting articles by our Junior members. Eagerly they talk of the coming Fourth Juvenile Convention! And how they would like to attend! And how our American Fraternal Union would I like to see them make this wonderful trip to the most beautiful vacationland in the world! And Little Stan doesn’t just say that because he comes from there. He is really, enthusiastically, telling you the truth! You all ought to help these youngsters along, or else enter as a candidate yourself and go to town!
If. *
And here’s news for candidates in Kansas and Missouri. Through error, no quota was set for delegates from these states. But in a teletype press conference, our supreme secretary, Bro. Anton Zbasnik, dispatched the news that the quota for Kansas is 4,000 points; and for Missouri, 3,500 points. That isn’t very steep, and you can do it if you go out and work only one week-end!

Our editor-manager of Nova Doba, Bro. Anton Terbovec is certainly recovering rapidly from his recent minor operation. From all over the country come “get-well” cards, flowers, and other sincere messages from his many friends. Little Stan, acting as his special courier and Valet, to and from St. Alexis, has delivered all messages that came addressed to Nova Doba. And say, you ought to see the supply of cigars, our genial editor has received. By now he has several month’s supply. The boys 'downstaire, August Hollander, and Joe Birk are several of Bro. Terbovec’s well-wishers. And seeing all those pretty nurses attending him, Little Stan figures Bro. Terbovec ought to stay in a few days longer—or let Little Stan trade places with him! Heh Heh! Meanwhile, our supreme president, Bro. J. N. Rogelj, as acting editor-manager; and Little Stan are keeping the home fires burning.
# *
The week-end was one of those quaint “Home-town” affairs we like to enjoy. Saturday evening with Frank and Vickie Smuk, and Frances Pe-rovshek discoursed between the National Home, and our good
SOS to Frances Perko of McKinley, Minensota: We’ve been watching the mailbox every day for those chocolate drop cookies, Frances. So don’t disappoint us.
Frances attended one of our Betsy Ross meetings with Little Stan and Bill Zbasnik when she was in Cleveland and we’re still marvelling at the way she can talk with her hands. Frances has learned the sign language because she has friends that use it and she has really excelled in its use.
Having done my duty for this week, I’ll sign off. It’s your turn next, Rosemary—so take it away.

coming along? It’s not as hard as you j thought it would be, is it? Here’s my chance to thank dad for helping me get ! the points I already have. Thank you, : all you “new members” who helped me get my points. I’m sure you will be proud to belong to the American Fraternal ; Union, as we are proud to have you. ! You will all prove faithful, won’t you? | OI course you will! Otherwise we would j never go to your homes asking you to join.
There is one of the juvenile members j that I would like very much to meet, j That is Florence Startz. If her per- 1 sonality is half as nice as her wonderful j articles, she sure has a sweet person- I ality!
Gee! Was I angry last night! I was I supposed to go to a round-and-square dance at Franklin High last night, but I couldn’t because I had a nasty cold.
I hope it gets better before I get married. As a matter of fact, I know it will—(a positive statement! Ha Ha!)
Well, Spring is here at last, but I hope we get one real heavy snowstorm before Mr. Winter leaves us for another year. Just think of it, if we don’t get more snow this winter, we will have to wait for a whole year to go sledding, skiing, and skating.
Where are all the juveniles of Lodge No. 138, AFU? Asleep? Of course not! But why don't you join me and write a few articles to our grand paper? Come on and show the others what you can do! Looks like Strabanites are champs in writing!
Don’t you think it was nice of Mayor Kapsch to put such a nice article in 1 our paper? Thanks a million, Mayor Kapsch!
By the way, Little Stan, we had some i good old-fashioned Slovenian “klobase” for supper. Wish you were here to join u-; and enjoy some. (Ed. Could be!)
We juveniles have a wonderful chance to go to the “Land-o-Lakes” and our brothers and sisters and even some of us who have been there know how : swell it was. My brothers and sister have all gone and they spoke of their ■‘time of their lives” until they were blue in the face, and dad, mom, and I : ever, dreamt of it.
BUT IF AND WHEN I GO,T THINK I'LL BRAGG TOO, FOR I’LL HAVE A RIGHT TO, WON’T I? (Ed. Note:— You certainly will!)
A little baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Primožič of White Valley, Fa. They also have a son at the age of 4 who is an AFU member. Hoping that ; that cute girl of yours is too, Frank Congratulations to you Catherine and Frank ima and pa) Primožič. Ha Ha!
How will you friends like to hear ' from my niece. Frances Nagoda (age ' 13) ? I will try to get her to write a let- ! ter to the Nova Doba. She is slightly ' shy, but I’ll try to get her to write as she has never written before.
I don’t know if this will bore tyou : readers or not, but I hope" you take a slight interest in my most important “summer” job. As you probably know I am a “farmerette” and we sell crates and crates of strawberries. There is a ( lot. of work in picking;-them, but there is more lun than anything else. We always have to hire pickers to help us ’ and their ages rank between 13 and 1 17 years. When our “boss” isn’t watch- ! ing, we have a strawberry battle and get our shirts and blouses all stained. ( It’s a lot of fun with slacks and a big straw hat. There is always | someone “cracking joker” and it makes you laugh so much, your sides ache and you have to sit down.
We almost lost one of our pickers once by “choking.” Our “water-boy” came to us with his bucket and was passing dripks and Ann took a drink | when someone cracked a joke. To laugh and drink at the same time was too j much. She loaned on someone for support. My sister was far away and couldn’t get to Ann as she fell to the I ground. We all “bunched” around to sec what was the matter. After hitting ! her on the backh and doing practically j everything under the sun, she was OK, managing to catch her breath. We then j resumed picking again. But Ann was j nearly a goner that time!
That • was certainly a scare, young lady! It's fun picking, but when I get “lazy” or a little tired I ask my father il' I can be bookkeeper and he lets me.
I mark how many baskets of berries each picker picks so we know how much each will earn. AIL in all. it’s grand, but wilh one exception, and that is getting a siin-tan which I dread. I hope berry picking is as nice this year as it was In other years. There will be a lot for you, Little Stan, if you come to our i farm.
Here is the sad part of my letter. I guess most of you were listeners to Ccwboy Jay who played over Station | WMMN. I am sorry to say that he passed away last week. He was my favorite cowboy. Wasn’t he a grand j singer? I have a guitar and took a few lessons on it, but I quit last year. Now J I am awfully sorry that I did. The j guitar is just sitting in the corner nowadays, getting all dusty.
In closing now, I’ll tell you that I i will' try to write a story next time. That j is if, I Can think of one by then.
Your proud American Fraternal Union member saying ADIOS till we j meet again. This is Export saying good-! bye !

DEAR EDITOR AND JUVENILES:
May I extend my sincere thanks for | the, $1.00 clicck which I receivod by,
| writing to the “Nova Doba.” You know it's always nice to have an extra dollar : around.
In my first letter I said I would write every week but I didn’t keep my promise. But now I’m going to say it again. And this time I’ll try to keep it.
On March 9 I went to the S.ovene Workers Home on Livernois Avenue to see a Slovene play entitled “Samostojni Omar.” Although I do not understand Slovenian I enjoyed it immensely. The players were all from Cleveland, O. They all played their parts wonderfully. The play was very good but I can’t leave out the singing can I. First the East side from Detroit sang. Then the West side. And then last but not least the Clevelanders sang and they put on some show.
They had solos, duets, trios, quartets and almost every kind of music you can think of. Some of the songs made the audience laugh and some made them sit still and gaze in wonder. The bus for Cleveland was supposed to leave at 8:00 o’clock. But there were so many goodbyes said and so many last dances had that they did not leave until 1 a. m. I was surprised to see some friends of ours here from Cleveland. When the bus left we all went outside to say goodbye to them. And I wished I could be on a bus like that and have fun like I knew they were going to have.
Last night my sister and I made some candy. I went to my girl-friends before it was made. When I came home I asked my sister where the candy was. She said that it stuck on to the frying pan and she couldn’t get it out. So she got a screwdriver and a hammer and began to pound away. My father heard her and wanted to know what she was doing. She told him and he said he thought she was fixing a chair or something.
Well I guess there won’t be any more skating this year. But we can go bike riding. So one good sport goes and another comes to make up for it.
I had better close now because I have some homework to do. So-long now until next week.

DEAR EDITOR:
I haven’t written to the Nova Doba for quite a while, so I finally decided to write now.
Just as'we were ready to welcome spring, we got caught in a storm. The temperature dropped below the 20-degree below zero, murk aod an icy wind blew. But it seems to be over now. and once again we are getting a bit of slush and mud.
Now that I have become a delegate to the Fourth Juvenile Convention, I am anxiously looking forward to the time when all the delegates will convene in Ely.
COME ON, LET’S MAKE IT THE BIGGEST, GAYEST, AND MERRIEST CONVENTION OF THEM ALL!
I want to thank my father for all the help that he gave me in qualifying me as delegate. I alsp wish to thank Mr. Rogelj for the fine letter of congratulations he sent me.
The Ely High School band has been ! given new uniforms, purchased recently I byrthe school tjoard. They consist of a red coat, red'caps, dark blue trousers, and blue ties. We first wore them at a concert given before the High school and Junior College faculty and students. ! The public had their first chance to see us at the 27th District Basketball tour-j nament in Virginia.
Ely high school lost their game to Eveletli in an upset. After the game, ; Ely people were dejected and downhearted as any fans would be after see-I ing their favorite team lose. The band, nevertheless, received many favorable comments, and that was some consolation.
Well, I’ve a hard subject in high school, as most of you haye, too. It’s Geometry and right now it is forcing me to close this letter. So long.

DEAR EDITOR:
Thanks ever so much for the $3.00 check. With Easter right around the corner it came in handy. I noticed that many other juveniles received checks for articles that appeared in February. I bet you were all as thrilled as I was too. Well, thanks again, Editor and officers.	/
The Magic Carpet Juvenile Page of March 19th was very good and interesting. Why there were eleven articles in only this issue. This proves that more juveniles are getting interested in the paper and the Union. Speaking about the Union, Rose Kuznik of Export, Pa., certainly believes in the Union and its advantages for young people. Rose is a candidate for the Fourth Juvenile Convention to take place in Ely, Minnesota. Now Rose it wasn’t very hard in getting the members that you did get already, was it? Well, now with only a few more points needed and you can qualify. Why you may be the next delegate. Did I hear the answer “yes.” Well, little more plugging, Rose . . . Same state, but city is Strabane—that other journalistic city—comes a letter from Dorothy Martinčič who also encourages more of the juveniles to write. Dot, hope to hear from you Monthly too. And your story was swell. What about another one? . . . Dorothy’s friend Frances Zele sends in a long letter, making up for the one missed in February due to her appendix operation. (I was sorry to hear that, Frances, but now that you are well, it makes me view the subject on another side.) Yes, Frances the Juvenile Page certainly has many articles coming in from the members of Strabane. Will tliey keep it up, is also the question I am asking. Let’s hope so ... To Homer City, Pa., the Magic Carpet (Yes, it's still traveling) finds Mary Lisac thinking of another story to write for us again and soon. Right, Mary? . . .
The final step in Pa. is Washington where we find a new writer for the Nova Doba and only 12 years old. Welcome to the pages of our Juvenile Page, Rose Pelan. So three members of, your family are celebrating their birthdays in March. Congratulate them from me as I also am celebrating my birthday in
March—the last day in fact. Your article was very good Rose and we all expect to hear from you soon—very soon . . . Yes, Florence D. Starti. I am one of the candidates again. I do hope I'll make the grade. I am working diligently now so the prospects look good. Your letter was all filled with interesting news. Enjoyed it a great deal. Hoping to hear from you that you won a Perfect Practice Certificate for your piano work, Dolly . . . Other city of Minnesota, Chisholm the Magic Carpet welcomes another new writer to the Juvenile Page—Julia Balantich. My, you certainly are a busy girl—play piano, outside sports, singing and your homework. Hm! Now you have one more job on your hands: Writing to the Nova Doba every month. Think you can manage it, Julia? We'll be looking towards the Page for another article soon . . . Dorothy Mae Jevitz who is from Joliet,
111., allows us to indulge in a very long, but interesting article. Dorothy is also a candidate for the 4th Juvenile Convention. Wishing you all the luck Dorothy and hope to be. seeing you there . . . From Hazel Park, Michigan, our regular writer, Anna Hiti answers my plea and tells the readers something about her school. I can tell you now, Anna that Justine Korent is a very wonderful girl to know. I had the pleasure of meeting her in ’39 in Ely and she is swell. If you would run as candidate and become member, you could meet her in Ely as you would meet any other juveniles too. You have four articles to your credit already, Anna so don’t forget next months . . . And way out in West in San Francisco, Cal., we hear again from my correspondent, Gloria Terbovec. Yes, I guess we all know what it means to have homework, Gloria. You do have a difficult course. Your weather . . . Which reminds me of Cleveland’s. We had some bad weather for a few days but now Spring is here and we can all notice it. Gloria, we hope to hear of you more often now' since you’re writing again in the Nova Doba. Tell us something about your after school affair, clubs, hobbies, etc. We’d be pleased to hear from you.
Don’t forget juveniles to work hard if you are a candidate for the fourth Juvenile Convention to take place in August in Ely. It’s “BEAT ME TO ELY, Not to the Bar.” Well, so long readers; hope to hear from all the rest of you soon.

| EAGLES. Tell me, juvenile members,
! how do you like this name? Personally ! I think, it is very good.
| The younger members of the Missouri j Eagle lodge have been planning for a j long time to organize a club for its i younger members. Finally on March j 23, we got together and had our first meeting. At this meeting we elected j our temporary officers and set our meet-! ing dates for the fourth Sunday of | every month. This is all temporary un-i til we get more members.
’ The Missouri Eagle Lodge has selected a candidate for the Fourth Juvenile Convention. The candidate’s name is Mary Beg. We will all help her attain her quota and if possible we will try to, send another delegate. If eaSh member will cooperate I think this goal could be achieved.
Ccme on members let's get on the list as one of the active lodges of the Union.
I	am a regular reader of the Nova Doba and enjoy it very much. Seeing that there seldom were any letters on the Magic Carpet Page, from St. Louis [ decided to write thinking perhaps that our members seeing it would also decide to write.
In order to save more space for other members I will now close my article.

Traffic accidents are claiming twice the toll among children this year. The return of spring will increase the danger of accidents. Outdoor sports such as baseball, roller skating and bicycle riding bring greater traffic* hazards for the young people. Parents must continually warn them of the dangers in the street. Motorists can help to save the children from injury by driving cautiously whenever children are near the curb.

Scenes Revive Convention ^Memories
GILBERT, MINN.
DEAR EDITOR:
Our own Nova Doba, prior to this time, has been full of articles pertaining to bowling and such. A very interesting subject, I assure you.
But suddenly, the ship changes its course! You’ve guessed it! We're heading for the “Fourth Juvenile Convention.” The time has come for us with renewed vigor and effort, to start individual membership drives!
I’m all steamed up—rarin’ tc go!
What a turn—What an event! Three days of perfection. Tantalizing thoughts, pleasant memories, they keep egging me on!
All at once,% I know I’ve got to become a delegate!
Now may I appeal to each and everyone of you? Don’t let this be something you read of and dream about. Make i( a reality.
Begin now! Have in your possession an admit tc the ship which is already steering on toward that happy reunion in August!	*
Fraternally yours,
Delores Muhvic
Frieda thanked her and said goodbye, Then she took the next train for Berlin. When she got there she found it was even w'orse than her home town.
She went to her uncle's place, but found it closed and deserted. A passerby told her that her uncle had left for parts unknown. .Frieda did not know what to do. She had no money and did not know where to go from there.
(To be continued.)
So long until next time.

DEAR LITTLE STAN:—
After considering everything, I have decided not to enter the campaign drive for delegate to the coming juvenile convention. My dad, whom I expected to help me most is now employed out of town and can't give the time he would like to.
BUT I WILL DO SOMETHING TjO HELP THE CAUSE ALONG IN A DIFFERENT WAY, AND AS SOON AS I POSSIBLY CAN.
I am informed that the F. E. Vrani-char’s are entering their daughter, Marie, in the membership drive. Little Marie is a grand, grand, girl and I will do what I can to help her to success.
And may the campaign be a huge success!
Dorothy Mae Jevitz Lodge No. 66, AFU Ed. Note: — Little Stan didn’t really know whether you intended this letter for publication, Dorothy Mae, but he liked your spirit so much, he decided to print it to show other Juveniles that you've got what it takes to spell success!)
DENVER, COLO.
DEAR EDITOR:
Since this is my first letter to the Nova Doba, I shall tell you a little about myself. First of all, I would like to mention that every month without fail I read the articles of other juvenile members which indeed prove very interesting, especially those of the Startz sisters.
I go to Holy Rosary school and am in the seventh grade. My subjects are similar to those which other juveniles have mentioned they’re taking.
Well, Spring is here without a doubt, and all things arc starting to bud. Especially the trees, I notice, are becoming more beautiful every day. Not only the trees, but everything that surrounds them seem to be becoming more colorful.
Even our mountainous background, although many miles away from Denver, can be seen—which fits excellently into the picture of budding trees and blooming flowers. In other words— “spring.”
The convention month will soon be here, and I know many of the juveniles are looking forward to it.
AND NOW I WOULD LIKE SO SAY:—“GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE JUVENILES WHO ARE TRYING TO BECOME DELEGATES AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY QUALIFIED.
Now I must close, but I hope to have something for you next month. So lots of luck to all!
Joan Plutt (Age: 13) Lodge No. 21, AFU (Ed. Note: — A grand entrance to the Magic Carpet Page, Jean. Come again, please!)
STRABANE, PA.
DEAR EDITOR:
Well, here I am at last. I haven’t much to write—ju^t a few jtines to keep Little Stan busy. He He!
I see Strabane is finally waking up a litle. I see Mary Ludvic ,took a little time out to write to the Juvenile Page —sure was glad to see your article “and hope to see more, Mary” . . . And this goes for the other boys and girls of Strabane—you’re all doing a swell job—“keep it up.”
I’d better say the same to Big Stan Progar, He's doing a wonderful job, too. "What; say, Brother Specks?” How's the fresh air?
We are having nice weather the past few days. Spring is surely on its way, and school will soon be out. This will give the boys and girls more time to write to our wonderful page. I mean the Juvenile Page, of course.
And now about a dance. Yes, Lodge No. 149, AFU, of Strabane, Penn., is sponsoring a dance at the SNPJ Hall in Strabane on April 19th.
ALL MEMBERS AND THEIR FRIENDS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THIS DANCE. REMEMBER THE DATE, SATURDAY, APRIL 19th, AT THE SNPJ HALL IN STRABANE, PA.
Well, I better drop off here. So-long everybody! “Say Mary, tell Jo to write a letter to the Juvenile Page.”
Hedy Sterle, No. 149, AFU (Ed. Note: — Swinging along, just fine, Hedy! >
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI DEAR EDITOR:
This is my first letter to the Nova Doba since the name of our organization was changed to the AMERICAN FRATERNAL UNION. Since the Union has Americanized its name our lodge thought it would be appropriate that we also Americanize our name. So wc changed the name to MISSOUU
HOMER CITY, PA.
DEAR EDITOR:
Everytime the paper oomes I look at tin* the Juvenile Page to see if there are any articles from Homer City, Pa., but I haven't seen any ever since I can remember. That is the reason I decided to write again. Because I thought if I wrote, some juveniles from Homer City would,vtoo, but I guess I was wrong.
It seems to me that every juvenile member in Strabane is contributing something to the Page because there are so many articles from there.
I am sending in a story titled:
“A Jewish Refugee"
Frieda Christan was a little Jewish gii;l who lived in Germany. Many times she had heard her father and mother talk about how many Jews had been driven away from Germany, but she neycr dreamed that it would happen to them.
One day while Frieda was walking home from school she saw many soldiers driving Jews from their homes, She ran home real fast to see if anything had happened to her parents.
The store was a wreck when she got there. She found her father and mother lying on the floor. They were dead, Frieda began to cry, and a neighbor, upon hearing her, came and told her that some soldiers had come to the store and ordered her father and mother to go away. They wouldn’t go because, they had said, they were waiting for Frieda. The soldiers said this was no excuse and shot them down in cold blood.
When Frieda heard this she began to cry more than ever. The woman tried to comfort her and asked if she had any place to stay. Frieda said she had an uncle in Berlin, but it was too far away.
The woman said: “I would keep you at my house, but the soldiers would find out, and I would be shot. I will give you enough money for train fare to your uncle’s place.”

Črne se je kmalu poslovil od svojega znanca. V veži je zvedri od natakarice Julke, da njegovega mojstra še ni bilo v krčmi, da ga najbrž tudi ne bo, ker je prišla Rupnica že drugič po vina v pražnjem in ne vsakdanjem krilu. Za njo in za njenega brata bi bila dva litra le preveč, zato sklepa, da jima pomaga Repič s svojo kovaško ognjeno žejo.
Črne je že toliko poznal tako svet kakor ljudi, da je mojstrici previdno zamolčal, kar mu je bila zaupala Julka. tJstregel je s tem mojstru, ustregel gospodinji, ki bi ji nikakor ne bilo ljubo, če bi ji mož popival tudi med tednom, in ustregel je sebi. Z izgovorom, da mora še nekoliko na zrak, ker ga je začela boleti glava, se je odpravil od doma.
Za nič bi ne mogel strpeti doma v trenutkih, ko se bodo dogajale v njegovi bližini stvari, ki obsvetle Trato z zgodovinskim'žarom.
Z zavihnjenim ovratnikom, s klobukom, potisnjenim nizko doli na čelo, se je plazil Črne ob hišah v senci — ščip je razsvetljeval nasprotno stran ulice — in skrbno pazil, da bi ga ne spoznal kak zakasnjenec. Deseta ura je zazibala po večini že vse vaščane v sladko spanje.
Neopazen je prispel slednjič do vhodnih vrat v park bankirjeve vile. Prostor na desni je bil obrasel z leskovim grmovjem. Pod največji grm se je stisnil Črne in zavzel isto mesto, na katerem je brž po kosilu počival skrčeni Dolfe. Boljšega skrivališča ni mogel dobiti. Sam popolnoma zakrit je lahko neovirano gledal skozi veje po cesti proti vasi in tudi nekoliko po parku. Železna vhodna vrata so bila odprta na stežaj.
Kadar čaka človek, mu postanejo sekunde minute in minute ure. Po životu je začelo Črnetu gomezeti. Bal se je že, da je bil sedel v kako mravljišče. Spoznal je kmalu, da mu je noga za-spivala. Preložil jo je. V zvoniku je bilo. Udarci so trepetali po zraku.	^
Od Trate se je privozila tiho in brez nobene svetiljke gruča kolesarjev. Oni so. Črne je zlezel še bolj na kup. Eden, dva .. . pet... sedem... vseh enajst jih je. Znanca Pavleta ni mogel razločiti. Šele, ko so privozila kolesa na s kamenčki posuto pot po parku, je začelo štrkati. Izginili so mu izpred oči.
Črne je zamižal in zasledoval z duševnimi očmi nadaljni potek dogodkov. Približujejo se pristavi. Pred pristavo stopijo previdno s koles, naslonijo jih na zid. Postavijo se v tri vrste. Iz žepov jemljejo orodje, ne, to niso ne kladiva ne škarje ne klešče ne svedri, preglasni bi bili, to so steklenice z jedkimi tekočinami, ki glede učinkov nič ne zaostajajo za svojimi hrupnimi in bučnimi tovariši.
Načelnik odpre vrata. S kljukcem. V delavnico stopijo. Raz-dele se. Žepne svetiljke zasvete. Tu je izum, Tu je pipa, skozi katero priteče, če se odpre, elektrika. Nekaj je začvrčalo. Tekočina se je zajedala počasi a zanesljivo v kovino, do njega pod grmom prihaja rezki, ostri in kiselkasti duh raznih kislin.
Zmagoslavno pregledajo zarotniki še enkrat svoje delo. Vse v redu. Drobcene pene pokrivajo smrtno rano.

ČAROVNIK BREZ DOVOLJENJA
&------------------------------------------------------------   j
( N adaljevanje )
“Nekaj pojasnil ti je seveda treba,” je odgovoril Pavle Črnetu. “Cigarete pa ne bom zvijal, hvala ti vsekako, bojim se namreč, da ti stresem radi razdraženih živcev le preveč tobaka po nepotrebnem. Če ti je ljubo, ti rad tolmačim svoje nadloge. Pred ne vem več koliko tedni so raztrobili listi po vsem svetu, kako je prisilil naš domačin ozračje, da mu dobavlja elektriko. Ker me zanima vse, kar se tiče elektrike, sem zasledoval z izredno pozornostjo omenjena poročila. Fant, sem si moral kmalu nato priznati, huda prede tebi in tvojim tovarišem. Dinamo, stroji torej, ki so doslej proizvajali elektriko in ki so nas preživljali, bodo nepotrebni. Vesoljno ozračje postane pravcati'sod, ki ga bo lahko vsakdo nastavil. Skozi posebno pipo mu priteče električni tok, kolikor ga bo hotel, kakršnega koli si bo želel. Zato bo pa brezposelnost večja. Vsi, ki so naše stroke, bodo morali s trebuhom za kruhom. Novi izumi izpodrivajo bolj in bolj človeka kot delavca. In ker ga ni oblastnika, ki bi pregledal vsako tako iznajdbo in jo prepovedal, kakor hitro bi se prepričal, da bo v narodnem gospodarstvu škoda radi izgube dela večjih' množic nerazmerno večja kakor bi znašala korist, ki jo bo nudil izum, me vidiš sedaj tu prej seboj.”
“Vse sem razumel,” mu je pokimal Črne, “o izumu sem tudi jaz že slišal, in da obstaja neoporečni sorazmerje med izumi in brezposelnostjo, se popolnoma strinjam s teboj. Če se prav spominjam, smo se celo v vaški krčmi nekoč o tem razgovarjali. Nikakor pa ne dojmem zveze med škodljivim izumom in tvojim izletom v Trato.”
“Kaj se delaš tako nevednega!” je pokaral Pavle svojeg? znanca iz polupretekle dobe. “Saj vendar veš, kdo se mudi sedaj v Trati?”	•	,	/
“Tujca meniš, ki je prišel pred dvema tednoma približno sem, da skrije svojo neznansko'grdo hčer radovednim očem, kaj ne. Toda še vedno ne vem, kaj in kako. Pa ne, da bi bil tujec tisti izumitelj?!”	.	,
“Dobro glumiš nevedneža. Seveda je. Čudno, da moram jaz. ki živim v oddaljenem mestu, obvestiti tebe, ki živiš v vasi, o pravem značaju tvojega sovaščana.”
“Verjemi mi, P&vle, da je to moje prvo vedenje,” se je začudil Črne. Nepričakovana novica ga je kar dvignila s kovčega. “Kaj je pa prišel delat sem na deželo?”
“Tudi na to dobiš odgovor, Drejče. Prišel je, da skrije sebe in svoj izum onim, ki bi radi obračunih z obema. Uspelo mu je. Zabrisal je vse sledi za sabo in celo liste je prevaril. A mi smo ga vkljub temu izsledili. Poslal je namreč služabnico v mesto, naj mu kupi nekaj elektrotehničnih potrebščin. Svoje zahteve je zapisal na posetnico. Kaka neprevidnost, kaj ne! Moreš si misliti, kako hitro se je razširila v naših krogih vest. Da nadaljujem! Ker nam utegneš pomagati s kakim pojasnilom, ti odkrijem vso našo zaroto. Ne straši se, to ni nikaka krvava zarota. Popustljivejši tovariši so glasovali za to, naj gre odposlanstvo iz naše srede k njemu in naj ga skuša pregovoriti, naj umekne svoj izum. Šele našim ugovorom, da ne more žrtvovati in da ne bo nikdar žrtvoval učenjak, ki se je ubijal in mučil mogoče desetletja, svojega izuma prostovoljno kar tako radi nekaterih godrnjačev, so se vdali, in danes nas pride več odposlancev iz naše elektrarne, da...” Pavle je vstal, približal se tesno Črnetu in mu šepnil v uho, ‘... mu razbijemo izum.”
“Napravil bo drugega.”
“Ne gre za to, da preprečimo novemu izumu pohod po svetu. Vse smo dobro premislili. Mi hočemo s svojim činom le opozoriti javnost, naj se zavzame za nas, ki nas vrže tak izum na cesto.”
.. čin sam na sebi pa v zapor,” je' dodal Črne. “Zdi se mi vse skupaj nedolžna demonstracija, ki ni v nobenem pravičnem skladu s težkimi posledicami.”
“Upoštevali smo tudi morebitne kazni. Kaj to! Le meni verjemi, Drejče, za časa naše obravnave bodo pretresovali vsi listi našo zadevo ih prej ali slej pride čas, ko ne bo smela nobena država ščititi izumov, ki skušajo izpodriniti človeka kot delavca. In da to dosežemo, se ne plašimo kazni.”
“Sedaj sem še sam radoveden, če se vam res po godu izteče. Kje so pa sozarotniki?”
‘Pripeljejo se posangič na kolesih. V krčmi pri Hojaku se snidemo kot izletniki.”
“Vidim, da ste vse do dobra prerešetali. Kako pa hočete spoznati njegov izum?”
“Strokovnjaki smo in kako značilno znamenje ga že izda. Če bi ga pa tudi ne pogodili, smo dosegli vendar le svoj namen.”
Črne si je zopet oprtal kovčeg. “Človek niti ne sluti, kako hitro poteka čas. Polagoma se je že zvečerilo. Do vasi tako ni več daleč.”
“Jaz se odpeljem naprej!” je dejal Pavle in sedel na kolo. “Ali je vila tostran ali onostran vasi ?”
“Tostran!”
“Izumiteljeva delavnica je seveda v parku pred vilo.”
“Je!”
“Le pridi zvečer na kozarec, se bova še kaj pomenila. O našem namenu niti besedice več!’
Pavle je odbrzel na kolesu, Črne je gledal za njim, dokler mu ni bil izginil za prvi ovinek.
Po večerji je res prišel Črne v krčmo. Poslala ga je bila Repička, naj pregleda, če je njen mož tam. V skrbeh je. Vedno je bil točen pri večerji.
Med izletniki je poznal Črne edino le Pavleta. Prisedel je k njemu, medtem ko so se domači pivci zadovoljili s prostori v kuhinji, da ne bodo motili družbe iz mesta.
Ker je poznal njene namene, je opazoval Črne družbo s po polnoma drugačnimi očmi. Odločni mladeniči, prepričani, da so njihovi smotri upravičeni in da se bore nesebično in požrtvovalno za vzvišene vzore. Nekaj svinčeno težkega je viselo v zraku, kar ni dopuščalo, da bi se dvignilo občutje, da bi se količkaj razvila zabava. Z dobršnimi požirki so si skušali izvabiti smeh na lica in popevko iz grla. Naročali so kar vprek ocvrta jajca, drugega že tako ni zmogla vaška kuhinja. Čutili so najbrž praznoto v notranjosti. S pomenljivimi pogledi so srčili drug drugega.' Zdaj p, zdaj so se potipali v žep, če je v njem še orodje, s katerim se lotijo največjega izuma zadnjega petdesetletja.
