(Piše dr. F. J. Arch, vrh. zdravnik J. S. K. Jednote) ■
Slabokrvnost a 1 i anemija prav za prav ni krvna bolezen, ampak stanje krvi, ki ga je najti pod zelo različnimi okoliščinami. Izraz anemia izhaja iz! grščine in pomeni brezkrvnost. i Beseda je bila najbrž skovana j za izražanja dejstva, da je kri videti redka in vodena. Anemija znači zmanjšanje količine “hemoglobina,” to je snovi, ki dela kri rd^čo, ali zmanjšanje števila rdečih krvnih celic v gotovi količini krvi, ali pa oboje, kar je običajno.
V	splošnem izhaja slabokrav-: nost od izgube krvi, od uničenja : krvi ali pa od kake pomanjklji-i vosti v produciranju krvi. Ta tri j dejstva morejo biti tudi pomeša- j na na različne načine. Slabokrv-1 nost se spozna po takih znakih kot bledost ali pa v pomanjka-! nju sape; to zadnje znači, da; skuša telo na drug način dobiti | potrebni kisik, ki ga ne dovaja 1 kri v zadostni količini.
Diagnoza slabokrvnosti, po-; sebno takih vrst, ki jne izhajajo! od izgube krvi, se navadno izvr-; ši s preiskavo krvi, ki pokaže količino hemoglobina in število j rdečih krvnih celic v kubičnem;
i	V
milimetru krvi. Preiskava zna- j čilnosti rdečih krvnih celic pod i drobnogledom pokaže točno evi-j denco stopnje anemije in pogosto pokaže tudi sled do vrste in i vzroka iste.
Znaki pomajkljivosti v krvi, bodisi zaradi hemoglobina ali rdečih krvnih celic, izhajajo iz delovanja krvi. Ena važnih dolžnosti krvnega obtoka je oskrbovanje telesa z vlago ali tekočino. Izguba krvi pomeni torej, da je manj tekočine v krvnih žilah, čimer neizbežno sledijo mnoge posledice. Krvne žile skušajo manjkajočo tekočino dobiti iz tkiva, kar sistem suši in bolnik toži o žeji. Srce mora ,hi-' treje delovati v svrho cirkulacije manjše količine tekočine po žilah in zato žila utripa hitreje. Iz drobnejših žilic, je kri povle-| čena proti osrednjim večjim žilam in koža postane bleda in mrzla. Pomanjkanje sape sledi delovanju rdečih krvnih celic pri dovajanju kisika'tkivu in odvajanju ogljika.
Vsi ti oČividni in včasih izraziti znaki so vidni zdravniku pri veliki in primeroma nagli izgubi krvi. če pa je krvavitev prikrita, mu pokažejo, da se je zgodila.
VELIK BISER
Biseri, kot znano, se pridobivajo iz školjk. Njih vrednost se ravna po velikosti, obliki, barvi in blesku. Največji znani biser, ki se rabi za okras, se ceni na 45 tisoč dolarjev. Toda v Zedinjenih državah je zdaj biser, ki tehta 70-krat toliko ali polnih 14 funtov. Po teži računano bi bil vreden, v primeri s prej omenjenim, tri milijone dolarjev. Ta biser pa ni okrogel, ampak nepravilne oblike, torej za okras ne pride v poštev, predstavlja pa veliko redkost in je vsled tega zanimiv za znanstvenike in dru-ge-
Domovina tega bisera je v Južnem morju pri otoku Palawan. Divjaško pleme Djakov, ki tam živi ,ga je našlo v nekem zalivu, in sicer na tragičen način. Divjaki so s potapljanjem prinašali na površje školjkaste ribe, ko se nekoč eden teh ribičev ni več dvignil na površje. Preiskava je dokazala, da ga drži za nogo ogromna morska (Dalje na 2. strani)
VSAK PO SVOJE

Mnogi dobro misleči ljudje jadikujejo, da bo evropska vojna uničila človeško civilizacijo in nas pognala nazaj v barbarstvo. Pri tem se pojavlja vprašanje: kakšno civilizacijo? Ali civilizacijo periodično se ponavljajočih vojn, priprav za vojne in plačevanja vojnih dolgov? Tako civilizacijo naj le uniči!

Statistike dokazujejo, da se na ameriških cestah na vsakih 27 sekund zgodi avtomobilska nesreča, v kateri je kaka oseba ubita ali poškodovana. Do zadnjega časa ni bilo tako nevarno niti na francoski fronti.
Sobrat Louis Ambrozich poroča iz Minnesote, da so tam dobili prvi sneg sezone dne 13. oktobra. Koledar kaže, da je bil omenjeni dan petek. Torej petek in 13. dan meseca. Ni čudno, da je ta kombinacija prinesla sneg in zimo.

Društvo št. 50 JSKJ v Brook-lynu, N. Y., bo 26. novembra oroslavilo svojo 35-letnico z veliko veselico, ki bo vsebovala tudi komično igro “Rdeči nosovi.” Takrat se lahko zgodi, da bodo z izralei tekmovali tudi gledalci z ozirom na rdeče nosove. Ne zaradi novo krščenega vina, bog-nedaj, kaj takega ne mislim, ampak zaradi hladnih poznojesenskih vetrov.

PROGRAM STAROSTNE-i GA ZAVAROVANJA
Vprašanje: Star sem, ali še vedno delam ,pa malo zaslužim. Koliko moram najmanj zaslužiti na mezdah, predno smem zaprositi za pokojnino?
Odgovor: Ako ste delali od januarja 1939 do junija 1940 in ste v tem času zaslužil vsaj $300 na mezdah, boste upravičeni dobivati mesečno pokojnino, ako boste tedaj prenehali delafi in boste že 65 let stari.
Vprašanje: Postal sem 65 let star v decembru 1937. Ako dobim delo, ali bom upravičen do mesečne pokojnine od federalne vlade?
Odgovor: Da, ako delate vsaj j 18 mesecev po 1. januarja 1939 na takem delu ,ki spada pod zavarovalni sistem.
Vprašanje: Postal bom 65 let star v januarju 1940. Moj zaslužek znaša $75 na mesec in sem stalno zaposlen od 1. 1936 naprej. Moja žena je za eno leto starejša od mene in služi v neki družini. Ne morem dobiti državne pokojnine, ker stanujem v lastnem domu. Na koliko federalne pokojnine smem računati?
Odgovor: Ako prenehate delati, dobivali boste $23.77 na mesec začenši od 1. januarja 1940. Dodatno je vaša žena upravičena do $11.58 na mesec, kar skupaj znaša $34.75 na mesec.
Vprašanje: Meseca februarja lanskega leta sem dosegel starost 65 let in dobil enkratno odplačilo po prejšnjem socijalno-varnostnem zakonu. Smem li zahtevati mesečno pokojnino po novem zakonu?
Odgovor: Da, ako delate in je iz zapiskov razvidno, da ste zadosti zaslužili v svrho mesečne pokojnine. V takem slučaju se bo denar, ki ste ga že dobili kot odplačilo, odbijal od mesečnih pokojnin.
Vprašanje: Nekdo je stalno delal od 1. 1936 naprej in zaslužil povprečno $100 na mesec. Ako umre, kaj bodo žena in otroci dobili?
Odgovor: Vdova bi dobivala $19.31 na mesec. Vsak izmed otrok pa bi bil upravičen do mesečnega plačila $13, dokler ne postane 18 let star.
Vprašanje: Ali je res, da so le ameriški državljani upravičeni do federalnih in državnih starostnih pokojnin?
Odgovor: To velja le glede pokojnin, ki jih večina držav plačuje potrebnim starcem. Federalni starostno - zavarovalni sistem ne napravlja nikake razlike med državljani in inozemci.
Vprašanje: Kaka je formula, na podlagi katere se izračuna, koliko naj zavarovani delavec dobiva na mesec, ko preneha delati po 65. letu starosti?
Odgovor: Mesečna pokojnina znaša 40 odsto od prvih $50 povprečne mesečne plače, dodatno 10 odsto od ostale mesečne plače do največ $250 na mesec, dodatno 1 odsto za vsako leto, odkar je bil delavec zavarovan pod sočijalno-varnostnim zakonom.
Vprašanje: Ali se sedanji odbitek od plače poviša 1.1940?
Odgovor: Ne. Edenodstotni davek na plačo, h kateremu mora delodajalec dodajati svoj 1%, ostane isti tekom 1940, 1941 in 1942.
Vprašanje: Star sem 62 let, sem samec, ali vzdržujem po-starno mater. Ali bi moja mati kaj dobivala, ako jaz umrem?
Odgovor: Vaša mati bi dobivala polovico pokojnine, do katere bi bili vi sami upravičeni. —FLIS.
PREGLED ZADNJEGA DESETLETJA
Dne 24. oktobra 1939 je preteklo deset let od začetka naše slavne depresije. Bilo je' 24. oktobra 1929, ko je strahoviti polom na ameriški borzi zamajal celotno finančno gospodarstvo dežele. Takrat je splošno prevladovalo mnenje, da pojde dežela sicer skozi eno izmed kriz, ki se ponavljajo od časa do časa, da pa se bo polagoma spet vse lepo poravnalo, brez velikih neprilik in operacij. Toda depresija je postajala čim dalje hujša, tovarne so zapirale vrata, brezposelnost je naraščala in banke so pokale. Proti zaključku Hooverjeve administracije v prvih mesecih leta 1933 je depresija dosegla najnižjo točko.
Novi zvezni kongres, ki se je v prvi polovici marca sestal k zasedanju, je dal novi administraciji izredna pooblastila, da skuša deželo izvleči iz kaosa. Izvršene so bile mnoge resne in drzne operacije našega gospodarskega sistema. Nekatere so bile stoprocentno uspešne, nekatere le deloma, mnoge pa so se izjalovile. Delati je bilo treba hitro, ker pomoč je bila nujno potrebna, zato so se pač izvršile mnoge napake. Toda nujni ukrepi so rešili ljudstvo vsaj najhujšega pomanjkanja, vsaj deloma stabilizirali finančni sistem dežele in preprečili nadalj-ne večje gospodarske polome. Polagoma smo se izkopali vsaj iz najbolj črnih prepadov depresije in zasvetile so nam spet luči upanja na boljše čase.
Mnoge rane, ki jih je povzročila depresija, se ne bodo nikdar popolnoma zacelile. Vse posledice depresije še niso odpravljene, toda na splošno dežela danes ne kaže, da jo je depre-sijska bolezen oslabila. Za splošni ljudski blagor so se v teh kratkih par letih izvršile številne izboljšave, na kakršne bi bili morda morali v bolj normalnih razmerah še čakati dolga desetletja.
Delavstvu, na primer, so bile priznane in s postavami zajamčene pravice, kakršnih še ni bilo deležno nikdar v zgodovini te dežele. Vlada v Washingtonu je skoro prosila delavce naj se organizirajo v unijah 'in jim je šla v tem oziru kar mogoče na roke. Danes je v unijah organiziranih okrog osem milijonov delavcev. Ako J)o organizirano delavstvo dovolj pametno, da bo složno nastopalo za svoje pravice, ne pa se prepiralo med seboj, bo moral to skupino poslušati vsak kongres in jo bo morala upoštevati vsaka administracija. že samo to je velika pridobitev, ki nam jo je prinesla depresija.
Dalje smo dobili v teh letih socialno zavarovanje, k j je sicer še nepopolno, toda že kot tako je neprecenljive vrednosti. Pomislimo samo na brezposelnost-no zavarovanje, na starostno penzijo in na državno podporo ostarelih ljudi brez sredstev.
Dobili smo federalno zavarovanje bančnih vlog. Ako bi bila kaj takega izvedla na primer že Hooverjeva administracija, ne bi bilo tako ogromno število delavnih in varčnih ljudi izgubilo svojih prihrankov v bankah.
Ker je bilo milijonom brezposelnim delavcem treba dati vsaj nekaj skromnega zaslužka, so bila s federalnimi sredstvi izvršena velika javna dela, kol jezovi, ceste, mostovi, stanovanjska in javna poslopja itd i Izvedene so bile regulacije rek (Dalje na 2. strani)
ODMEVI IZ RODNIH KRAJEV
SLOVENCI NA JUGU
Po neki statistiki živi v južnih banovinah Jugoslavije nad 400,-
000	Slovencev. V hrvatski banovini biva slovenskih šumskih in drugih delavcev, mornarjev, obrtnikov, trgovcev in uradnikov 138,500; v dunavski banovini raznih delavcev .obrtnikov in uradnikov 82,000; v moravski banovini rudarjev, steklarjev in kovinarjev 54,800: v vardarski banovini poljedelcev, delavcev in uradnikov 49,300; v drinski banovini uradnikov, delavcev in drugih 35,900; vvrbaski banovini rudarjev, lesnih delavcev, zasebnikov in uradnikov 17,000; v zetski banovini uradnikov in drugih'7,250. V Beogradu z Zemunom in Pančevom biva 21,-200 Slovencev. V Zagrebu biva nad 30.000 Slovencev.
VOLILNE PRIPRAVE
Ministrski svet je poveril pravosodnemu ministru dr. Lazarju Markoviču nalog, da sestavi predlog volilnega zakona na podlagi splošnega, neposrednega in tajnega glasovanja po listah in.proporčnem sistemu.
ZNAMENJE ČASA
Ruska Matica v Ljubljani priredi ruski tečaj za Slovence, ki bo razdeljen v tri skupine. Zadnje čase je zanimanje za jezik na j večjega slovanskega naroda zelo naraslo po vsej Evropi, posebno pa še v Jugoslaviji in Bolgariji. Od mnogih strani se poudarja, da je prav ruski jezik največji instrument kulturnega slovanstva.
TRAGEDIJA RUDARJA
V Zgornjem Logu v Zasavju je nedavno v starosti 57 let umrl nekdanji vestfalski rudar Ivan Drnovšek, ki je bil rojen v Nemčiji in je skoro vse svoj$ življenje preživel tam. Ko je zbolel, je stopil v pokoj in mu je bila nakazana mala pokojnina. Ostal je v Nemčiji in se je za mal postranski zaslužek začel baviti s prodajo časopisja. Kmalu pa so nemška oblastva ugotovila, da je bil eden izmed časopisov, ki jih je raznašal Drnovšek, komunističen. Moža so aretirali, mu ukinili skromno pokojnino in ga poslali v njegovo domovinsko občino v Jugoslaviji, dasi iste ni nikoli prej videl. Občinski svet očetove domovinske občine mu je naklonil majhno podporo, nekaj pa so pomagali dobri ljudje, da se je bolehni brezdomovinec skromno preživljal, dokler ga ni smrt rešila bede in pomanjkanja.
MNOGOKRATNA MATI
V Ljubljani je, v starosti 74 let umrla Marija Banovčeva, trgovka s sadjem in zelenjavo, ki je v svojem življenju rodila 25 otrok. Izmed otrok živijo še štirje, in eden teh je znani operni pevec Svetozar Banovec, ki je bil pred leti na pevski turneji tudi v Ameriki.
UBIT OD STRELE
Na Ilovi gori nad Dobrepoljem je nedavno zalotila nevihta 25-letnega mladeniča Toneta Miklavčiča, ko je peljal s parom konj z njive voz krompirja domov. Ko je bil že blizu doma, se je močno zabliskalo in strela je udarila ubogega mladeniča naravnost v glavo, da se je nezavesten zgrudil na tla. Kljub pr-
vi	pomoči nekaterih prisotnih je kmalu izdihnil.
RAZNO IZ AMERIKE IN INOZEMSTVA
PREPOVEDAN VHOD Predsednik Roosevelt je pretekli teden na podlagi obstoječe nevtralnostne postave prepovedal dostop v ožje ameriške teritorialne vode vsem podmornicam vojskujočih se držav. S tem so prizadete le nemške podmornice, ker Francija in Anglija ne pošiljata svojih podmornic na to stran Atlantika. Ta ožji pas teritorialnega vodovja sega tri milje od obrežja. Podmornica sme pristati v tem vodovju le v nezgodi, ki je niso povzročile vojne operacije. Poroča se, da bo temu vzgledu Zedinjenih držav šledila tudi večina ostalih ameriških republik.
NEVTRALNOSTNI ZAKON
V zveznem senatu se še vedno vleče debata o spremembi nevtralnostne postave. Administracija želi, da se sedanja nevtral-nostna postava spremeni tako, da Zedinjene države lahko prodajajo vojskujočim se državam vsakršno blago, od živeža do letal in municije, pod pogojem, da prizadete države plačajo za kupljeno blago na mestu in ga od-premijo na svojih parnikih ali na parnikih drugih držav. Zdi se, da bo taka postava v doglednem času sprejeta. Iz oficielnih krogov se poroča, da imajo države inozemstva takih naročil v Zedinjenih državah za več kot 100 milijonov dolarjev.
ZVEZA Z MORJEM .Med Zedinjenimi državami in Canado so se bila že leta 1932 začela pogajanja za zvezo Atlantika z Velikimi jezeri potom reke St. Lawrence. Ta pogajanja, ki so bila za nekaj let obstala na mrtvi točki, se bodo spet obnovila, ker Canada potrebuje za svojo razširjeno vojno industrijo več električne sile, ki se more pridobiti potom jezov in prekopov, katere bo treba zgraditi v svrho nameravane direkt-ne zveze Velikih jezer z morjem.
PROSTOR ZA BEGUNCE Vojne in predvojne razmere v Evropi so izkoreninile milijone ljudi, ki so danes brez doma. Mednarodni odbor, v katerem sodeluje nad 30 držav, skuša za te nesrečneže najti prostor za naselitev. Za enkrat so baje pripravljeni sprejeti del teh brezdomcev Filipini in Cuba. V zvezi s tem se poroča tudi, da bo administracija Zedinjenih držav predložila prihodnjemu zasedanju kongresa načrt za naselitev gotovega števila teh brezdomcev
v	Alaski.
TRGOVINA Z JUGOM
V svrho pospeševanja mednarodne trgovine je vlada Zedinjenih držav sklenila tako zvane prednostne trgovinske pogodbe z 19 inozemskimi deželami. Med temi je 10 centralno-ameriških in južno-ameriških republik. V teku so pogajanja za sklenitev sličnih trgovinskih pogodb z republikami Uruguay, Argentina, Chile in Venezuela, čas za izboljšanje trgovinskih odnošaje\ z južnimi republikami je pra\ zdaj zaradi evropske vojne zelc ugoden.
POTRES NA VZHODU
V jutru 19. oktobra so v na ših severovzhodnih državah ču tili precej močan potres, ki pi ni napravil posebne škode. Po tres so čutili v državah Massa chusetts, New H a m p shire

lekov. Marsikaka ideja je videti lepa, pa se v praksi slabo izkaže. Pri važnih problemih gospodarskega značaja je treba jemati potrebe in zahteve posameznih sistemov v celoti. Za zdravljenje, če je potrebno, pa naj bi se v prvi vrsti upoštevala tista zdravila, ki so se že v preteklosti izkazala za uspešna.
Seveda, s tem ni rečeno, da bi morali brezpogojno odklanjati vsako novo idejo, še daleč ne. Marsikaka nova ideja je bila ob svojem rojstvu smatrana za nesmiselno ali celo škodljivo, pa se je pozneje v praksi izkazala za I koristno. Ves napredek preteklosti je zgrajen na idejah, ki so bile nekoč nove in morda zasmehovane. Tako bo tudi napredek bodočnosti temeljil na novih idejah. Pomniti pa je treba, da vse nove ideje niso dobre. Temeljito razmišljanje pa nam jih more pokazati v pravi luči.
Naša J. S. K. Jednota ne vsiljuje svojim članom nikakega določenega strankarskega ali drugačnega prepričanja. Pač pa jih potom svojega glasila večkrat poziva, da opazujejo vse, poslušajo vse in čitajo vse, potem pa naj razmišljajo o tem, kar so videli, slišali ali čitali. Misleči člani ne bodo nasedali sleparjem in demagogom, ampak bodo znali inteligentno ločiti dobro od slabega. Taki člani bodo v korist in ponos Jednoti, naši ožji slovenski skupini in naši republiki.

VADIMO SE MISLITI
—•—
Ves napredek člove.štva je bil^spočet v mislih. Brez lazmišljanja človeški rod ne bi bil mogel napredovati in bi bil že najbrž izginil z zemeljskega površja, ker se fizično ne bi bil mogel meriti z mnogimi živalmi, katere je narava v drugih ozirih mnogo bolje opremila za eksistenčni boj. Naravoslovci sicer sodijo, da tudi živali mislijo, vsaj višje razvite živali, toda njihove zmožnosti so v tem oziru zelo omejene.
Zmožnost povprečnega človeka za razmišljanje je sl oro brezmejna. Iz misli nastajajo sklepi in temu sledijo dejanja.
V tej deželi smo srečni, da smemo svobodno misliti ter da smemo naše zaključke svobodno povedati drugim ali jih zapisati. V mnogih državah sveta dandanes tega ni. To se pravi, ljudje v diktatorskih deželah sicer smejo misliti, ker kaj takega je nemogoče preprečiti, toda svojih misli oziroma zaključkov istih ne smejo dati v javnost. V javnost smejo le miselni zaključki posameznikov ali malih skupin, ki so se s silo ali zvijačo polastile oblasti.
Zal, da je v tej deželi svobode vedno preveliko število ljudi, ki so preleni za misliti. Vsak normalen človek ima
1 a razpolago oči, da gleda, ušesa, da posluša, in pamet, da razmišlja. Dan za dnem vidimo in slišimo marsikaj, kar bi bilo vredno temeljitega razmišljevanja, pa smo,
prekomodni zu to. Mnogo lažje je osvojiti miselne zaključke drugih. Tako je mogoče, da se posamezni prefriganci ali primeroma male skupine redijo na račun urokih ljudskih mas, ki so prelene, da bi same zase mislile.
Skovo vse politične in mnoge druge skupine poudarjajo, da je samo v njihovih programih rešitev vseh problemov. Cisto navadna pamet nam mora povedati, da to ni mogoče. Vsi različni programi ne morejo vsaki zase biti edino pravi in noben program ne more biti v vseh ozirih popoln. Vsak program pa lahko vsebuje nekaj dobrega in pametnega. Kljub temu lahko posameznik ali mala skupina pridobi za svoj zmešan, meglen in nelogičen program tisoče in milijone privržencev iz vrst tistih, ki nečejo sami misliti.
Tako je mogoče, da se včasih velike množice ljudstva ogrevajo za, recimo, penzijske načrte, ki so na podlagi čisto navadnih računov neizvedljivi in nemogoči. Tako je mogoče, da velike ljudske množice verujejo, da bi samo ena radikalna izprememba v našem gospodarskem sistemu rešila vse gospodarske probleme. Kakor da bi izravanje enega samega gnilega zoba moglo ozdraviti vse betežnosti telesnega sistema, od jetike, do srčne hibe, k i i e* in naduhe. Naš gospodarski sistem ima mnogo hib ih vsako je treba zdraviti na poseben način.
Prebivalci te dežele izdajo vsako leto stotine milijo nov dolarjev za razna patentirana zdravila, ki “zanesljivo” ozdravijo eno ali drugo bolezen ali pa kar vse bo-lezDi. Milijoni ljudi so se že v svojo škodo prepričali, da temu ni tako, toda pri takih poskusnih nakupih sleparji bogatijo. Ako je eno ali drugo patentirano zdravile res učinkovito, bo pač najbolje vedel naš zdravnik, ki se je posla izpoznavanja bolezni in zdravljenja istih učil v šoli in praksi, in nam bo istega priporočil ali zapisal.
Vsak bi rad dobil kako vredanoto; za nič oziroma brezplačno, toda to je v našem gospodarskem sistemu nemogoče. Kar dobimo zastonj, navadno po zavitih okoliščinah zelo drago plačamo. Kdor v javnosti obljubuje ogromne dobičke za male investicije, je morda bedak, ali še rajši slepar. Kjer'delnice kakega podjetja res obetajo velike dobičke, niso iste na prodaj malim ljudem. Pokupijo jih bogataši, ki imajo na razpolago denar, poleg tetra pa tudi eksperte, ki se morejo prej o vrednosti ponujanega blaga prepričajta. To bi morala normalnemu človeku povedati čisto navadna pamet, če ne bi biL prelen za misliti.	i
Neznane tvrdke iz oddaljenih mest mnogokrat razpošiljajo po deželi vzorce blaga v nakup. Vse take ponudi«' so sumljive. Naročniki dostikrat tako blago preplačajo in imajo težkoče dobiti denar nazaj, če z blagom niso zadovoljni. V takih zadevah je najbolj varno, da se držimo trgovcev v naših domačih mestih, posebno tistih, ki so naši člani ali naši rojaki. Pri tem je tudi vredno upoštevati, da kadar kolektamo za pomoč kakemu ne prečnemu rojaku ali za podporo našim kulturnim in drugim organizacijam, se obračamo na domače trgovce, ne na trgovce v daljnih mestih.
Za probleme naših podpornih organizacij s.1 nam včasih priporoča to in ono kot zanesljiv in vse ozdravljajoči lek. Prav je, da pri takih priporočilih razmišljamo, če so izvedljiva in če so res zmožna odpraviti vse ne-piilike, ne da nam bi prinesla novih. Dobro je tudi malo pogledati nazaj v zgodovino porabe takih ali sličnih
Ali so dediči ali dedične, katere ste imenovali v svojem certifikatu, še živi, ali so že umrli? Ako je oseba, katero ste postavili za dediča smrtnine, že umrla, polem je vaša dolžnost, da takoj imenujete novega dediča ali dediče. Sprememba oporoke v certifikatu je prej stala 25 centov, zdaj ne stane nič.
V preteklosti smo imeli že mnofjo slučajev, kjer je dedič v certifikatu umrl prej kot član, in to nam je povzročilo veliko sitnosti in nepotrebnega dopisovanja. Vsega lega bi ne bilo treba, če bi bil član takoj po smrti dediča imenoval drugega dediča. Nedavno je pri nekem društvu umrl član, ki je imel oporoko narejeno na dve sestri, ki sta pa že pred 25. leti umrli. Ker sta sestri umrli prej kot član, oporoka ni bila veljavna in smrtnimi se je morala razdeliti med najbližje sorodnike, kot določajo naša pravila. Vzelo je več mesecev, predro sem mogel ugotoviti, kdo je upravičen do smrtnine, in ko sem enkrat vso stvar spravil v red, sem pronašel, da je bilo deset dedičev upravičenih do iste, izmed katerih jih osem živi po raznih krajih v Jugoslaviji, dva pa v Canadi. Umrli član je brezdvomne znal, da sta njegovi dve sestri že umrli, toda zanemaril je imenovati nove dediče, vsled česar je potem nastalo navedeno nepotrebno delo.
Točka v pravilih, ki pravi, ako dedič v certifikatu umre prej kot član, tedaj se ima smrtnina izplačati postavnim dedičem, je v korist člana in njegovih najbližjih sorodnikov, Jednoti pa največkrat povzroči stroške. Iskati po starem kraju uradne dokumente in poročila stane denarja, in to mora Jednota trpeli. Jednota bi se teh stroškov in tega nepotrebnega dela lahko izognila s tem, da osvoji novo točko v pravilih, ki ji bo dovolila, da v takih slučajih izplača smrtnino zapuščinskemu upravitelju ali admi-nistratorju, ki pa to delo ne vrši zastonj, in ako se bodo slični slučaju pogosto ponavljali še v bodoče, potem bom prisiljen slaviti tozadevni predlog prihodnji konvenciji.
Če imate torej certifikat, v katerem so imenovani dediči, ki ko že umrli, tedaj ne odlašajte z imenovanjem novih dedičev, ampak pojdite takoj k svojemu tajniku in izpolnite listino, ki je v to svrho predpisana. S tem boste poskrbeli, da prejme smrtnino tisti, katerega ste sami izvolili ali postavili, glavnemu uradu boste pi prihranili mnogo nepotrebnih stroškov in dopisovanja.
Z bratskim pozdravom,
ANTON ZliAšNIK, glavni tajnik.
TURŠKA V ZVEZI Z ANGLIJO IN FRANCIJO Med Turčijo na eni strani in med Anglijo in Francijo na drugi strani je bila pretekli teden podpisana pogodba medsebojne pomoči v zadevah Sredozemlja. Ta pogodba jamči Turčiji angleško in francosko pomoč, če bi bila od kakšne evropske države napadena Turčija ali če bi pri-j šlo na Balkanu do vojne, v kateri bi bila prizadeta tudi Tur-j či ja. Obratno obljublja tudi Turčija svojo pomoč Angliji in Franciji, če bi bili prizadeti njuni interesi v Sredozemlju. Nemčija je baje vsled sklenitve te ] ogodbe zelo huda na Turčijo. Zanimiva je v pogodbi določba,) da Turčija ni dolžna pomagati Angliji in Franciji, če bi se slednji zapletli v vojno z Rusijo. Z Rusijo želi Turčija slej ko prej ostati v prijateljskih odnoša-jih.
Turško - angleško - francoska pogodba se od raznih strani različno komentira. Nekateri menijo, da pomeni jez nemškemu in ruskemu vplivu na Balkan, nekateri poudarjajo, da je s tem zajamčen mir na Balkanu, spet drugi pa mislijo, da so s tem balkanske države izpostavljene resni nevarnosti, da se zapletejo v voj no.

VEČ SITNOSTI
Earl Browder, generalni tajnik komunistične stranke v Zedinjenih državah, je bil pred tedni pozvan pred Diesov kongresni odbor, ki preiskuje neameriške aktivnosti. Tam so moža nadlegovali z različnimi sitnimi vprašanji, že to je bilo nerodno, še večje sitnosti pa je povzročilo Browderjevo priznanje napram dotičnemu odseku, da j c Browder svoječasno potoval v inozemstvo s ponarejenim ameriškim potnim listom. Zvezni justični department zdaj izjavlja, da namerava temeljito preiskati omenjeno afero s potnim listom.

EVROPSKA SITUACIJA ! V Stockholmu na Švedskem so i se bili pretekli teden zbrali h konferenci kralji Švedske, Norveške in Danske in predsednik. Finske republike. Zedinili so se za strogo nevtralnost in za pospeševanja predlogov za sklenitev miru. Ameriški predsednik Roosevelt je poslal zborovalcem pozdravno brzojavko.
Ruske čete so okupirale stra-tegične vojaške postojanke v Estoniji v smislu pogodbe, ki je bila nedavno sklenjena med Rusijo in Estonijo. Poroča se, da je bilo rusko vojaštvo prijatelj-t sko sprejeto.
Iz neoficielnih angleških virov se poroča, da Anglija in Francija ne bosta zahtevali od Rusije, da vrne od nje zasedeni i del Poljske novi poljski državi, če in kadar bo upostavljena. Do-tični del dežeje so Poljaki iztr-j gali Rusom že po sklepu versajske mirovne pogodbe in poleg tega so bili tam Poljaki le vi ; skromni manjšini. Iz tega bi se dalo sklepati, da Anglija in Francija nimata volje se zaplesti v vojno z Rusijo.
I Nemški letalci so pretejdi teden napadli angleško mornariško bazo, kjer so, po nemških trditvah močno poškodovali dve angleški vojni ladji in zbili na tla nekaj angleških letalcev. Po angleških poročilih je bilo pri tem napadu več angleških mornarjev ubitih, toda poškodbe na vo'jnih ladjah so bile le neznatne in več nemških letal je bilo uni-' čenih. Nemške podmornice še vedno povzročajo precej škode s potapljanjem angleških, francoskih in nevtralnih tovornih parnikov. Od druge strani pa poročajo Angleži in Francozi, da imajo precej dobre uspehe pri potapljanju nemških podmornic.
Na francoski fronti so NenWi na več krajih potisnili Francoze , z zasedenega nemškega ozemlja. Večje vojaške operacije ovira deževno vreme.
* Tekom enega tedna so se nemški letalci devetkrat pojavili nad angleškim ozemljem, toda
le enkrat so napravili nekaj škode. Angleži so v tem času uničili 13 nemških letal.
AMERIŠKI PARNIK ZAPLENJEN
Tovorni parnik “City of Flint,” lastnina United States Maritime Commission in v prometu United States Lines, privatne organizacije, subvencionirane od federalne vlade, je bil pred par dnevi zaplenjen od nemških vojaških oblasti ter z nemškim moštvom odpremi jen v zaliv Kola pri Murmansku v Rusiji. Parnik je bil na poti iz New Yorka v Glasgow in Liverpool v Angliji. Sodi se, da so ga Nemci zaplenili zaradi Angliji namenjenega tovora, to je blaga, kakršno nemške oblasti označa-jo za vojno kotrabando. Podrobnosti o zaplembi še niso znane in ameriška vlada je uvedla obširna poizvedovanja. To je prvi ameriški parnik, ki je bil zaplenjen ,odkar so se začele sovražnosti v Evropi. Poznavalci mednarodnega prava sodijo, da če je Rusija nevtralna, bo morala dovoliti zaplenjenemu parniku, da odpluje domov.

Podarili so ga svojemu glavarju Pisi, kjer ga je pred leti videl ameriški raziskovalec Wilburn D. Cobb. Pred par leti se je Cobb spet podal na otok Palawan in tam je izvedel, da glavarjev sin umira za malarijo. Cobb je mladega moža ozdravil z nekimi zdravili, ki jih je imel s seboj, in glavar

AMPLIFyiNG THE VOICE OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBERS
Betsy Ross Dance
'	^	i
Cleveland, 0.—Quite a crowd gathered at the dance last Saturday evening at the Slovene Workmen’s Home on Waterloo Rd. There should (in my opinion) have been a better crowd there. We all missed A1 Jelercic. What happened, Al?
Frank Yankovich and his orchestra to many people are tops. Yes, I believe the same. They played really wonderfu 1. Thanking Yankie and his orchestra and hope to have them again with us in the near future SSCU events.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jo Rottar, who, when a little girl yet, was a good friend of my dancing partner last evening, Frances Poropat ... Yes, Mr. Terbovec, the Slovene editor was also at the dance . . . Louis Kolar, the English editor and his wife Fannie were also there and I had a swell time talking with both of them. With Lou we were talking about the good old days ki Ely, Minn.
Lou was really showing the steps the girls from Montana taught him. Yes’m they did a fine job of teaching him . . . Miss Lillian Rudolf, a delegate in ’37 was also there. Yes, boys she is looking better than ever at the present time. She had on a lovely dress and gold slippers.
I wondered why I couldn’t get a dance with her. The reason, why she had every dance taken. What about it Lillian? . . . We wonder about the bachelor idea, Phil Sirca. He certainly had a nice good-looking girl with him last Saturday .. . Am still wondering why Patsy Krall was not dancing? . . . Mrs. Lunka was selling the tickets at the booth for admission to the dance . . . Mr. Lunka, secretary of the lodge, sold refreshment tickets downstairs . . . Andy Bohinc was also there dancing with all the pretty girls . . . The Poje sisters, of the well known Mr. Poje, the dry cleaner, were also at the dance and looking pretty as two pictures. There was Bill Golich, a regular Jitterbug having a good time with all the girls and yours truly also dancing with him.
Wishing to thank all the SSCU members and other people who came to the affair. They made it a fine one. We did miss a few of the members, but they will explain themselves—we hope.

Lodge 198
Central City, Pa. — Members of lodge “Veseli Slovenci,” 198, SSCU are urged to attend the next meeting, Which will take place on Sunday, November 12. It was decided at the last meeting that our lodge hold a dance on Saturday, November 25, in the Polish hall. Therefore, at the November 12th meeting it will be necessary to elect a committee of entertainment to handle the .various details in connection with the dance. It is very important that all members attend this meeting. Absentees will be punished according to the penalties provided in the by-laws; only sick members are excepted.
All neighboring lodges are re quested to join the crowd at our dance on November 25th. When other lodges shall hold lodge dances in the future we shall strive to repay them with our attendance.

Cash Customers
“Did you say a pound of soupmeat — nice soupmeat, with lots of nice bones? And a penny’s worth of liver?”
“Yes,” said the customer, “and don’t give me only bones with the soupmeat. I want a nice piece of meat and nice bones extra.”
My first customer in the meat business puzzled me. She wanted “lots of bones,” and she didn’t want only bones. A light struck the sea of darkness. Soup bones are given free with the meat, and the soupmeat, if cut from the shoulder necessarily has ribs in it, and ribs are bones; and my customer did not want a long bone or two embedded in the meat.
Timidly I ventured to say in somewhat incoherent Slovene: “Boneless beef is higher than the ordinary run of soupmeat. Do you want me to cut a piece from the leg, or perhaps you want a piece from the steak?” “My, but you learn quickly,” retorted my customer. “Who has been teaching you those bad habits.” And with this remark she laughed out loud at my evident confusion. And my meat-cutter, who has taken care of many such shrewd customers for years, hastened to explain to the customer, for the nth time that all cattle must have a certain number of bones; that there is no such thing as a boneless cattle; that cattle is bought “as is,” neck, shoulder, breast, hind and all.
My customer knew every piece of meat in the entire carcass. She knew from years of bickering the better cuts of meat, and also the prices. She had a devilish twinkle in her eye when the meatcutter came to my aid, as if to say, I know all about cattle; also, what you will say; your arguments, questions and answers.
And she certainly knew all the answers. If I suggested a piece of boneless meat from the neck, at a reasonable price, she retorted that that piece would make the soup bitter; from lower part of the leg, the meat would be too tough; from the shoulder, the meat had too many bones, and she didn’t feel like paying good money for bones, etc.
She was lesson number one; and what a lesson! Honest as the day is long, she would call my attention to an oversight, where I had forgotten to include an article or two on the statement. Like many of our Slovenes who emigrated from across the Atlantic Ocean, she was “poštena,” one who expected fair value in return for an honest dollar, and one who did not relish cheating anyone out of a single penny. However, she took every precaution to avoid possibilities of being cheated herself out of a single penny. Her motto was, like that of my mother and other Slovene mothers: We have to work hard for each dollar and we can’t afford to spend it foolishly-

Call For Additional Cleveland Bowlers
Cleveland, O. — I am wondering what has happened to all the bowlers in our SSCU lodges of Cleveland. Every Sunday, starting at 1:15 p. m., at Waterloo Recreation alleys, the Cleveland SSCU Bowling League holds its regular sessions. To date, only twenty bowlers have showed up, and certainly there are enough SSCU bowling enthusiasts to complete at least six teams. I would like to see more Cleveland SSCU bowlers come out for the teams. Plenty of fun awaits the keglers. It isn’t necessary to be a topnotch kegler to join the league, for the circuit is conducted on a handicap basis. The fundamental purpose in organizing and maintaining this league is to accommodate the SSCU members interested in bowling.
And GIRLS! we also include you in the invitation to join the league. If you are at all interested, come to Pozelnik’s alleys next Sunday. The address is: 15721 Waterloo Rd. Just ask for “Kelly,” and I shall see to it personally that you will be given every consideration.

Ely, Minn. — Practically in every nook and corner of this country where live those happy juveniles who were fortunate to become delegates to the grand convention held in Ely last August, you can hear the ripple of excited voices as experiences are recounted.
Columns in Nova Doba written by top-notch SSCU writers cram every available space to bring you thrilling minute—almost photographic accounts of the impressive national affair of our organization. Every happy adventure not only of the delegates as a whole, but of individuals, is recounted. And you can bet your sweet young life that everyone who didn’t make the grade to qualify had wished that they had worked only a little bit harder.
Fun is a wonderful thing. Without it nothing could be a success. And those swell times will never be forgotten. You' can’t beat it! Reading every line in the paper hungrily, most of us live over and over again the grand convention. Few if any think of tomorrow’s big convention of similar nature. Will there be ^.ny convention? Will members of our vast society strive to reach another goal— that to attend another affair of this kind?
Those questions can only be answered after delegates to the 1940 Waukegan Quadrenniel convention scan the records of past membership drives—drives which culminated in the grand conventions. Their critical eyes will not only gaze over the total new membership enrolled during the drive; but also they will look at the aftermath. By that, Little Stan means that records showing the gain or loss in membership in the months following the convention will be studied with even greater interest. It’s something to think about.
For our South Slavonic Catholic Union does not merely promote membership drives and conventions to give their members and delegates a chance to play in wonderful vacationland; to have fun. Certainly that is a part of it, and everyone hopes that all have a wonderful time at these affairs.
But basically, our Union promotes convention enterprises of this sort to boost the membership, not only temporarily, BUT PERMANENTLY! Perhaps by this time, you can guess what Little Stan is driving at. Yes, it means that the load in the drive to maintain the increased mem-ber-ship falls on all our shoulders. How can we do it?—It isn’t as difficult as it may sound.
If Little Stan sounds like an old Professor giving a lecture, don’t laugh. Heh Heh • . • Because even though he can romp around in short pants, he can also be serious—when he wants to be. And this is a serious business because, if he and every other delegate to future juvenile and athletic conferences wants to “romp in short pants” so to speak, we’ll all have to join hands by holding our membership gains to guarantee future conclaves of this sort. Sounds halfway'logical doesn’t it?
But getting serious again, Lit-
tle Stan spent some time in the Home Office of our SSCU the other day, glancing over records of the 1935 and 1937 juvenile campaigns. It was found that about four or five months after the convention was over, a lot of the newly-enrolled membership dropped out of the Union. Not enough to cause any particular hullabaloo, but enough to make you kinda sit up and take notice and wonder. Wonder was: Do some of the members join only temporarily to help a member become a delegate?
Answer: It would seem very much like it in some places.— Result: The Quadrenniel Convention which meets in Waukegan in 1940 might decide not to hold juvenile conventions or athletic confer ences. That would be a calamity!
Recently a number of lodge secretaries in various parts of our SSCU states wrote Little Stan and asked him whether juvenile delegates had taken a sort of pledge to assist them in collecting dues from many of these new members. For since their active young members had enrolled so many new, the work on the local lodge secretary’s shoulders increased tremendously. In many cases difficulty was encountered when the secretary went out to call on these people; difficulty in the sense that the member in question perhaps lived quite far from the secretary’s home, making it impossible to make frequent trips.
Let's* shift the scene back to convfemion hall in Washington school auditorium where our juvenile convention of 1939 gathered. You remember when we all arose, held up our right-hand, and repeated the pledge which read in part, “to help and assist keeping our members enrolled in our SSCU by assisting our local lodge secretary in collecting dues?”
That moment was solemnly impressive. It filled us with a queer awe wherein we realized that a gathering such as we were enjoying could not have been made possible had we failed to enroll the members. It made us feel how big and wonderful our SSCU was, and it made a deep impression in our hearts when we firmly resolved to do our utmost to help keep the gigantic membership increase we were responsible for. AND WE MEANT EVERY WORD OF THAT PLEDGE!
Make believe we are again launching another campaign. Your prize has already been won. You have enjoyed every minute of it. Let’s call this the aftermath. Let’s round up everyone who helped us qualify as delegates and call on some of the new juvenile members we enrolled, collect dues, and more strongly impress on their minds what little it costs to belong to such a swell organization as we who are intimate machinelike parts of it—know it.
It would be very much appreciated, and our Home Office, our Supreme Board, and our members will certainly find moments to shoulder you with much commendation! It shows everyone how much you appre-. ciated the opportunity given you by our SSCU. You wouldn’t let a good pal down, now would you? The SSCU is your rig^t hand pal. You can put Little (Continued on page 4)

ISSCU Delegates Urged to Remember Convention Pledge
Sports Chatter
By Big Stan
Thanksgiving Day
I for his readers. Two of the I three schools have as yet to have their goal line marred by ! opponents cleats and all three have still to suffer their first defeat. But the Pittsburgh civil j war is about to break. Duquesne j meets Pitt in the first battle j and a perfect record hangs in i the balance. The Panther will j have little trouble with his Hill-top neighbor but in the second stage of the civil war, the Tech Tartans, using the Panther system, will be a horse of another color. Pittsburgh’s perfect records will be broken this year but one must remember that the most logical school to accomplish this feat will be a school from Pittsburgh. Which gives due reason for the old saying that “football is played at its best in Pittsburgh.”
A Native's Return
Early last season, your reporter was told confidentially that the 1939 football season would see the great back, Boyd Brumbaugh, the Duke’s former ace that tripped the Panther for the only Duke win in five games, wearing a Pirate uniform in the pro battles. It has now been confirmed and the next pro Pirate game will see the famous Springdale boy carrying the mail for the Pirates. He has been obtained from the Brooklyn Dodgers in exchange for Sam Francis > and Johnny Tosi.
Boyd’s many friends in the Pittsburgh district will receive this news with a very gladened heart for now Boyd may be seen in action on more than just the invasion of the Dodgers as was true in the past. Many also believe that this is just what the Pirates need to get back into the win column and Quackie, as we called him in highschool, is a tonic all by himself. He can put more fight into a football team than a war scare can put into a nation. So don’t be surprised if the Pirates suddenly start to win games. Here is your reason.
Center Ramblers
Center, Pa. — Final reminder for SSCU members, their friends and acquaintances to attend the Center Rambler lodge, 221, Masquerade Dance on Saturday, October 28, at the Slovene Hall in Center. Music will be furnished by the Center Silver Stars. Cash prizes will be awarded for the.best costumes. Dig out some of your old costumes, or any other old-fashioned togs, and take a ehance on winning one of the prizes. So far we have always enjoyed the co-operation from all neighboring lodges, and we know that they won’t fail us this time. A cordial invitation is extended to all to again spend a merry evening with us.
In behalf of the Center Ramblers, I wish to express my sincere sympathy to the bereaved husband Joseph Caro, whose wife Helen, passed away on Oct. 15, at 4:30 p. m. Burial took place at Plum Creek cemetery on October 19. The deceased was-a good member of our lodge, and ; we shall miss her presence. Incidentally, she is the first death among the Center Ramblers j May she rest in peace.

Ely, Minn. — Thanksgiving Day. How many of us stop to think what the word Thanksgiving is connected with. We all know what thanks mean. We use that particular word innumerable times during the course of a day. We thank one another for this or that for something we have received. We like to associate the word giving with something someone presents us. Many of us, at one time or another, who have to fight our way through life—feel what is accomplished, we accomplish alone—that it’s not necessary to give thanks to anyone. What a truly false conception that is. We have only to pause, to reflect to know that this is not a world of individuals. We have only to look about to realize that each one, in a measure, is dependent on the other. This is not a world of individuals—it is a world of brothers who work in unison for a common cause.
Again if we pause to reflect we cannot help but recognize the Great Architect of the Universe who has given us our natural resources. He, who provides the sunshine and rain, and lends us the land and the sea and all therein. It is He who conceals the germ of life in the seed and causes the seed to grow and bear fruit. It is we who benefit by his gifts of mercy. I like to let my thoughts drift back to the time, three hundred and eighteen years ago, when our Pilgrim forefathers set aside a day of Thanksgiving, to offer their thanks and gratitude for the mercies of Providence during the closing year. I think of the terrible hardships they endured, the crude living, lack of food and clothing, sickness, and all the other causes of dissatisfaction. Yet, even though many ills beset them, they were duly thankful for blessings received. It is a lesson of perser-verance, devotion, and graciousness ,that the early colonists handed down to us.
As we look around us today, we see on every hand comforts that have been given us; making for us a more complete life. There is no possible way of comparing our conveniences with those of the Pilgrims—for they had none. Do we ever pause to consider our good fortune and give thanks for it? Are we to be less thankful than the pioneers who suffered every privation that we may now enjoy comfort? We can do no less than they—and in the doing— make the Thanksgiving sincere. Let us be thankful that our lives have been spared. Thankful for the loved ones and our friends. Grateful for the gifts of Providence. We have considered our personal benefits as a just cause for Thanksgiving. But there are other benefits of a far-reaching nature. We have very I lately, passed through a period of uncertainty. We could almost hear the rumble of war machines. We could feel the tenseness in our land as the people waited in suspense, fearing that we would become embroiled in another war. At the same time our sympathy went out to those in immediate dangers.
We can be truly thankful that great men humbled their pride, rather than sacrifice the lives of men. We would surely, be ungrateful if we did not recognize this. We are in one great accord, and thankful, that those across the sea have not had to bargain their lives with the God of War. For what can we be more thankful than peace'in the hearts of men ?
Each day as the sun sets in the west, we will have received that for which we should be thankful. Let us be thankful. Let us prove to the world that we are a nation of peace—and home-loving in our unity; let us set the example. For what could
Life In a C. C. Camp
By Frank Mekina
In collaboration with Big Stan.
This is the third and last in a series of articles on Life in a C. C. Camp as based on actual experience and dedicated to Frank E. Vranichar and the many others that expressed a desire to know of the various activities of boys in the C. C. Camps.
*	#
Barberton, 0. — While in camp, every boy again enjoyed the opportunity to “catch up” on studies he fell down on while in school or after he completed his high school career. The boys are encouraged to study any line that appeals to them and thru-out the entire camp stay, the officers emphasize the value of making use of idle time. The Berkeley High has night school for the boys that care to study the subjects there and those that wanted to could follow their pet studies thru correspondence courses supervised by the camp officers. The courses covered most every subject that the boys wanted and while the camp officers acted as intercedes for the home study schools, they also acted in the capacity as instructors and gave the boys all the help they could. They encourage the boys on and as a result, most all the boys in camp followed one study or another. Especially those that attended the Berkeley High night school for it meant another night in the city. But as a result, the experiences in camp plus the studies the boys followed made them much brighter and more able to face life on the expiration of their camp term.
To keep the boys well occupied and give them some enjoyment, the camp officers presented stage shows and movies in the recreation hall every other Friday. Then in between the shows and movies, dances were sponsored in the camp recreation hall and girls from the nearby town were invited to attend. Most of the girls are glad to attend and one of the boys would take the CC truck out and bring in the women. The dances are the high spots of camp life and were looked forward to with keen delight by both the town girls and the boys. Every body conducts himself with respect for just one mis-step would mean the cancelation of all future dances. The good times always ended at twelve and the girls were taken back to town until another such affair.
To satisfy those that craved for sports, the camp sponsored basketball and baseball. In the winter months, basketball was played by most every boy in camp. The camp team is picked and games played at a Berkeley gym. The games are played With the neighboring camps and some are played with independent teams in Berkeley. Basketball takes on great interest for every camp fights hard to rule on the basketball court and the games are played with greater spirit than school games. Then, each barrack forms its own team and again the rivalry is great for here the boys try to outdo each barrack and be the camp champs. Often, different crews would form teams to prove the better in the camp. All in all, sports of all variations are played with great interest for the competitive spirit is great, especially if the contests are between the boys in one camp.
Baseball has its share of interest in the three C’s for again the different camps try to win the coveted baseball crown of the three C’s. During
we be more thankful—than a world of peace.

the summer, it holds the spotlight and those that don’t play usually follow the team and lend moral support to help bring back the bacon to their camps. At times, the camps turn out ball teams that are really hard to beat. Even some of the best independent and semi-pro teams fall victims to the excellent teamwork developed on a camp ball team. For in all sports, the camp life bears out the importance of co-operation between one and another and the boys usually adhere to the teachings of their officers.
Football is seldom played in the three C’s. Although some of the camps go for football, in Wildcat camp the winter sports start and end with basketball. But once during my stay in camp, an argument arose as to who had the best crew in work and football. To prove the points of the debators. a football game was arranged between the two crews and after a hectic afternoon on the gridiron, the game ended in a nothing to nothing tie and left the question just as unsettled as before the game started.
Life in the C. C. camps is never with a dull moment. When the boys are not studying, playing games, reading or do not go to town, they try every conceivable prank they can pull on a “camp buddie.” Maybe a fella forgot to place his shoes away before retiring and in the morning when reveille sounds, he cannot pick up his shoes, and therefore must stand at attention for the flag raising barefooted. No, no, it’s not because he’s tired but because some one nailed them to the floor the night before. And often times, the boys would take the sheets off the beds and fold them in the middle. When the occupant tries to crawl in, he gets stuck and must • tear his bed apart and refix it all over again before he can rest. Then, too, sometimes one would crawl in his bunk only to find that the bed is covered with water or crushed corn flakes smuggled in from the kitchen. On more than one occasion the victims were too tired to get up and clear the mess and would sleep in it all thru the night and dream about returning the prank on the guilty person. Sometimes the joints of the beds were loosened to such a degree that when the occupant laid on the bed, zowie, he and the bed would crash to the floor. And when the boys were tired of the above pranks, they would hide the bed clothing from the beds. As the lights are turned out at nine thirty, the victim would have to hunt for his bed clothing in the dark or do without them. In most cases they did without them for it was impossible to find them.
All in all, the pranks played on each other were taken in the spirit of fun and never was a quarrel or bad feeling created between one and another. Somehow, the boys welcomed the pranks for they did much to break the monotony of camp life. The laughs received from | being the victim or from being the accused compensated for the ' misery of the pranks. Then, ! too, the good natured fellows were received with open arms ! by his buddies if he could take

Armistice Day
Ely, Minn. — People of every nationality and creed remembered back 21 years when the Armistice was signed—the Armistice which brought to an end the Great World War. Many of the people look back with heartache and with tears on what the World War did to their families. It seems only yesterday that we stood on the streets and heard the chimes of the churches, the whistles, the cheering of the crowds, the long awaited words, “The Armistice is signed—the war is over.” And then several months passed and the first transport returning American soldiers landed in New York. And up and down Broadway we heard the marching of feet. And again we heard the bugle, not of war, but of peace. The cheers of the American public echoed and re-echoed ‘Our boys are coming back home.” What a gala holiday was celebrated. Emotions ran high ■the strain was over—the war was over—the first American soldiers were again on their own soil. For the time being, the American public did not remember that in many homes in the city and in the country, shone brightly the gold stars— stars that told us of the men— the boys—who would not—who could not comč back—men and boys, who had died on foreign soil.
Each year on November 11th at eleven o’clock in the morning, we are asked to turn to the East and remember the men who did not come back. There seems to be a word that has found its way into the consciousness of countries all over the world, a word which we know, just 21 years ago, brought horror, destruction, agony to mankind—war. Hardly has the destruction of the last war been remedied before we have the foreboding — the indication — that there is another war. Do we want another w7ar? Can we
boss. He sees to it that the boys behave and keep their portion of the barrack in ship shape condition. During barrack inspection, the leader must answer to all complaints from the inspector. He usually finds out when the inspection takes place and hustles the boys to make extra sure everything is in place. The boys stand at attention at the foot of their beds as the inspector comes by with the, barrack boss. Every thing must be in place. The beds fixed just so, clothes in their proper places and all shoes shined. If some complaint is found, the barrack boss must explain as to its occurence. Of course, later on the guilty person must answer to the barrack boss.
To make the job of keeping the barracks in ship shape condition a more pleasant task, the camps sponsor contests between the barracks. The winners usually receive special favors and the barrack with too many demerits find their privileges taken away. As all barracks want the distinction of being the cleanest, you can easily see why the boys toe the mark and listen to their barrack boss.
And so goes life in the three C’s. It is one experience that every boy should have as the value in both education and cooperation with strangers is too great to miss. I hope that Stan and I have fulfilled our mission of giving you all the color of camp life and gave you a gene-eral idea of life in the Civilian Conservation Corps. As most of the camps are run on the same order, our resume can be applied to all camps. They are all thrilhng and adventurous.

beaten by one point on the scoreboard but on the field, out- j smarted, outrazzled and out- j played to fully gain revenge for j last year’s defeat. The Panther I has spoken but his roar is not j the ferocious, blood curdling i roar of yester years. It is some-1 what subdued, a mixture of surprise, daring, uncertainty and a bit of the razzle-dazzle. It is a i voice that does not tell the vie- [ tim what to expect other than defeat at the end of play. It is j a voice that is now being respected by all — a voice that definitely states that the Pan- j ther IS a power to behold.
The Pitt-Blue Devil Game proved this to the football world. As strong and powerful as were the lads of Durham, j under the coaching of Wallace! Wade, they could not match the j brilliance, the alertness and the smartness of the new Panther; and trained by Jock’s number one man, Charlie Bowser. The' great playing of that ace halfback from the South, George McAfee, was somewhat sidetracked by Cassiano, Kish, Na- i lick in the Pitt backfield and; the seven linesmen led by the two ends, Dickinson, and Ret-1 linger. Time after time they, broke thru the Duke defense to I stop and smother plays before j they crossed the line of scrim-age. Then too, one can not over-1 look Dickinson’s brilliant play as he picked up a Duke threat! but by his alertness, placed the Panther in scoring position from which the Panther threw j the game in a 7-7 tie in the second period.
Cassiano in the Pitt backfield, i the only hold over from the! "dream team” of ’38 that turn-' ed ihto a nigMmafe ¥<ff the’ Pitt rooters, again stood out as I bright as the glaring sun by I his offensive snd defensive, work. Both Pitt touchdowns!
I
were*registered by Cassiano on; passes from his running mate, Narick and besides turning in the winning tallies, Cassiano j thrice stopped the Duke ace, I George McAfee from certain | touchdowns after McAfee broke j free and was headed for pay j dirt. A potential All-American, j that cannot be denied for Cas-! siano has been the difference I between a very good Pitt year! and a very bad Pitt year. Also1, j don’t overlook the work of 'Na- j rick and Kish. Narick is capa-; ble of some neat ball running j and can heave passes that usually hit the bull’s eye. In the j quarter back spot, Pitt does j not lack anything for Kish has: manoeuvred Pitt to three wins! this season solely by his alert-; ness in calling the unexpected j plays and, picking the spots in j which passes materialize into! touchdowns after credited running attacks. It is the uncertainty of what’s coming next that is bringing Pitt back into the limelight and the contending power division after the experts denied to consider Pitt as a threat. The Panther has spok-j en and his voice is being heard.
College football played at its; best is played in Pittsburgh. That has been said of the Iron City a few years back and it still is. All three Pittsburgh Colleges are still unbeaten after three Weeks of gridiron warfare with Carnegie Tech having a perfect record, three wins and an untouched goal line. The same must be said of the Duquesne Nite raiders, three wins and as yet, not scored upon. That in itself speaks with more influence than any writer pounding away football dope

pears to be so big, is it Ala Baba or I Dopey of the Seven Dwarfs. Little Stan in person. I smiled to him but he scowled at me. Can it be that he is going to make this day fateful. No he won’t either, he is my friend. But wait he is saying something and pointing a long finger in my face. Oh I knew I shouldn’t have left Detroit, Michigan to come here. How I wish” I was at home with the Brigadiers of Lodge No. 234. What is he reading my mind? He speaks.and what a scowl on his face. He frightens me. “Listen young lady, you are in the wi-ong city. You should be vacationing elsewhere. How dare you join the delegates and share in j their merriment. Get out of town while i the going is good.” "Oh please Little Stan how you can act. I almost believed you.” “I am not acting, I am doing my duty in carrying out what should be done. This trip is restricted 1 to delegates. How dare you be so bold as to come here posing as one. Be off I with you before I send the supreme board after you. You have no business being here.” I was trembling in my I footsteps as he retreated down the hall. I could hear his heavy footsteps j and the thunder of his undertones. Thump thump, I was shaking all over... Shaking all over of course Mary Bodak was shaking her and telling her to wake up. She slept overtime and would be late for the juvenile conven- i tion. What Juvenile Convention? I am going home. Little Stan just gave me a calling down for being here. I am scramming as fast as I can. You can pack my belongings and send them after me. Goodbye. “Come back here”, j called Mary. “Where are you going and what’s this about Little Stan.” It took quite a while for Frances to convince herself that this was just a dream. Now that she is convinced she delights with the dream in which she was the heoine — a poor girl traveling in Ely — and Little Stan was the villain. Well, readers, aren’t you going to hiss and boo him.	I
Are we glad this was only a dream. Everyone of the delegates is having a swell time with Frances Skoryance. We would miss her terribly if this dream would come true and Little Stan would be seeing her out of town. Three cheers for Little Stan for such a fine performance. We didn’t know he could act.
And thus dear diary we had a lot of fun telling jokes and DREAMS? Closer and closer we were coming to Tower so Mr. Somrak told us. In a short while now we would be boarding the boats for the Indian Reservation. Mr. Somrak told us all he knew about the In- j dians. He also told us of one girl who lived in Ely and left to join the In- | dians at the Reservation. He said that she had been educated in grammar school, high school, and had gone away ! to college to study to be a teacher.! When she returned from College she went to the Reservation to teach the Indians. She is still there teaching the young Indian children and learning the customs of the Indians to teach to others. This girl Mr. Somrak told us is very fond of the Indians and their habits.
Mr. Somrak kept telling us all he knew about these Indians all the way. Soon we reached Pete’s Cabin boats j where we were to board the Maryland and the Mayflower and cross Lake Vermillion in them for the Indian Reser-1 , vation. One of the boats had a cabin on it, the other was a barge connected to the cabin boat. The outboard motor was located in the cabin boat. The deck of the boat was thirteen feet wide and about thirty-two feet long. They were ] very durable and well constructed. The boat travels about four to six miles an : hour, so we had about an hour’s ride to the reservation along the rugged i shoreline;
The boats were ready to go, the cap-i tain was ready, but the delegates were j not. No there was a little matter of refreshment to be taken care of. There was a bee-line for the refreshment I stand. We kept the waiter quite busy1 i dishing out ice cold pop. While we were < enjoying the refreshing drink, Frances Koritnik came up to me with some good news. She told me that ten min-utes after we had left Ely, Catherine Ulcher came in on the bus. Whooppee i did I enjoy that announcement. I was i going to meet my pen pal in person. She got me so excited I almost didn’t want to go to the Reservation. But since | the walk back to Ely was a long one I decided to take the trip to the Indian place instead and wait to see my friend. So off to the cabin boats.
Like most other places there was a scamper for good seats. A group of us girls sat on the platform of the barge— the best seats in the house we thought since we could see everyone on the barge from here and we could even see what was going on in the cabin boat. All aboard ,no that’s what the conductor on a train says, all ashore is what the captain says when we land, I know now Anchors aweigh. Anchors aweigh it was and we were off across the beautiful Lake Vermillion. The boat ride was very much fun. It was so nice to glide along singing our song. We had a singing deputy with us. He certainly has a fine voice and does he know a lot of songs. But don’t ask me dear- diary what his name is I just can’t remember what it is. I sat thinking for a half hour but I just can’t remember ; it. Anyway his singing was superb. Another Nelson Eddy fpr Ely. i Little Stan seemed quite a singer too.
He did the bass part or was it tenor. Oh . well, anyway it blended well. Maybe he i is a boy soprano. Delegates young and , old joined in the songs. Then someone started that camera going again. No I
won’t tell you who they were, you must know by now'. This one cameraman used up eight rolls of film. Is he patronizing the film companies. And the convention isn’t even over yet. Then I got the idea that this would be as nice a place as any to get autographs so I got my book to be passed among the delegates. Some of the very kind persons who wrote in it included delegates but others than delegates wrote in it too. I have Anton Slogar's autograph, and Mr. Grahek Jr. a deputy in Ely, and smiley Mr. Matt Vertin and many others, dear diary. You guessed it. By the time the convention was over there wasn’t room for another autograph in my book. It was chuck full of autographs of the delegates and important people of Ely.
As our boat glided along among the playful waters we sang and sang and had a very nice time with the wind blowing calmly in our faces. But then came the surprise, the next moment the waves rose higher and higher and over the unfortunate delegates in the platform seats. Did we duck. Our seats weren't so good after all. We had to abandon them and search for a dry place to sit. Alas the good dry spots were all gone.
A few minutes later the captain of the boat interrupted our gaiety and told us that if we look straight ahead we would see the Indian Reservation. Sure enough just ahead of us was the Indian Reservation. We were all excited to get there. Though it looked so close we had quite a way to go yet since our boat was just about going five miles an hour. But it wasn’t very long until we reached the shore of the Reservation. We were in a hurry to get off. But there was no gang-plank where in the world is it? Well if it isn’t Little Stan carrying it toward us. Hurry up or we will be impatient. As soon as Little Stan laid the gang-plank the gang ran down gaily on to the shore. But progress was slow; we had to go one at a time down the gang plank or else it wouldn't hold us and we would get a bath we didn’t want.
Through the tall grass we scrambled toward the main building, or tent or house. Dear Diary, I don't know what you w’ould call it. It is the largest in the group, so it could be called the main building, it could be called a tent too because it is round and big like a circus tent and it could be called a house because there were so many Indians here. Maybe it is their house. No. Oh it’s an assembly tent where the Indians receive their white visitors.
Just outside this tent the delegates posed with the little Indian boys and girls for pictures. Some of the delegates held the little Indian babes in their arms while others stood in a group with them. It was a lot of fun to take pictures with the Indians. And do they like to pose. They seem to be professionals. One doesn’t even have to coax them.
But dear diary we can t stand all day taking pictures so inside for the special show or exhibition. The tent where we assembled was very very large. It was the size of the largest tent at the circus. We delegates sat all around the tent on the Indian seats. These seats were pretty funny to us. But they aren’t to the Indians I am sure or else they wouldn’t make such uncomfortable seats. They were rather curiously made. Logs were place about six inches apart all around the tent in one continuous string. In fact there were two strings of logs with a six-inch space between them. You sit in them or on them as you see fit. There are no cushions of course. In the center of the tent is an opening — this opening is in the ceiling to permit the smoke to disappear. A bench is built in a six-foot square right in the center of the tent. The four sides of this square bench are enclosed around a large drum. The drummers arrange themselves on this bench and play.
The Indian boys arranged a little program for us. Several of the boys played the drum while other lads danced typical Indian dances. Some of the boys had bells attached to their ankles and these made music as they danced around keeping time to the beat of the drum. Some of the dances included singing. So the boys and girls furnish the words to the song even though they were not understandable. At first the girls were very timid but then they joined the 'boys in the dances. I noticed that the steps the Indians do are the same ones that our college students are using in their so-called ‘‘jitterbug dancing." Yes, these Indians were trucking, shagging, susy-q-ing along down ground the drum and I bet they don’t even know that the American youth of today are using the same steps which are very popular everywhere. Wonder what they thought when Little Stan joined them in their dances. Bet they thought he took lessons from some Indians. Soon many of the delegates were dancing in among the Indians. After a few more numbers there was an interruption of the drums and pass the hat began—no it’s not a game it’s a general collection for the benefit of the Indians. And are the memories of the Indian collector good. He didn't miss a delegate. After the short intermission the contented Indians continued the music. This time they invited the girls to play on the drums. Yes diary I said play because our girl delegates don't know how to make music they were just playing. And dear diary I was one of them. One of the Indian boys handed me a stick and motioned me to join the circle of drummers. I was quit« tickled to be asked to play his stick so I handed my jacket and purse to my friend A1 Jeler-cic who happened to be sitting next to ime and I joined tire drummers.

Poroča, da je na obeh prireditvah vladalo pravo bratsko razpoloženje, kar bo nedvomno služilo k vedno večjemu ugledu in napredku naše federacije in-JSKJ v.splošnem. Nato poroča o zadevi prejšnjega blagajnika Josepha Kroteča in o primanjkljaju v blagajni v znesku $132.22. Omenjeni bivši blagajnik,da se je napram njemu izrazil, da dotične vsote ni poneveril, ampak, da je bil napaden in oropan za omenjeno vsoto. Poročilo predsednika se vzame na znanje.
Podpredsednik nima nič posebnega poročati.
Tajnik Jurij Previc se strinja s poročilom predsednika v< zadevi manjkajoče vsote v fe-deracijski blagajni. Prečita poročilo o dohodkih in izdatkih in nonovno omeni vsoto $132.22, za katero je prejšnji blagajnik prekratek.

Sedanji blagajnik se strinja s tajnikovim poročilom.
Novi nadzorni odbor za leto 1939, posebno predsednik istega, Joseph Škerl, se izrazi, da stari I nadzorni odbor ni posebno dobro nadzoroval, da je moglo priti do prej omenjenega primanjkljaja-
Poročila tajnika, blagajnika in nadzornega odbora se vzamejo na znanje.
Pri točki glede primanjkljaja v blagajni, za katerega je odgovoren prejšnji blagajnik, se obširno debatira od strani vseh federacijskih uradnikov in društvenih zastopnikov.
Slede poročila društvenih zastopnikov. Zastopniki od društva št. 12 in št. 26 nimajo nič posebnega poročati. Martin Hudale, zastopnik društva št. 31, poroča, da ima od društva naročilo, da omenjeno društvo iz-
stopi iz federacije, ako blagajna ne dobi nazaj manjkajočega de-, nar j a. Frank Schifrar od društva št. 33 poroča, da je njihovo društvo dobilo le}*o število novih članov. Frank Zupančič in Andy Prašek od društva št. 40 govorita o primanjkljaju v federa-cijski blagajni. Zastopniki društev št. 57 in št. 116 nimajo nič posebnega poročati.

Isabell Eržen od društva št. 221 poroča, da so dobili novega članstva za $7,000.00 zavarovalnine; obenem vabi na piknik.
Poročila zastopnikov in zastopnic se vzamejo na znanje.
Pri točki “razno” se ponovi debata o primanjkljaju v blagajni, za katerega je odgovoren bivši blagajnik Joseph Kroteč. Nekateri zastopniki kritizirajo predsednikak federacije, češ, da je tudi on kriv, ker je bila blagajna oškodovana za navedeno vsoto. Predsednik odgovarja, da kako bi mogel biti on pri tem kaj kriv, ko so nadzorniki knjige pregledali in podpisali in zbornica je njihovo poročilo sprejela! Nekateri zastopniki so mnenja, da se zadeva ne rešuje tako hitro kot bi bilo potrebno, ter mislijo, da predsednik ne nastopa dovolj strogo. Nato je bil stavljen, vsestransko podpiran in sprejet predlog, da se izmed navzočih izvoli tri člane, ki naj. vzamejo to zadevo v roke.
V	ta odbor so nominirani in izvoljeni sledeči: Frank Mikec, Anton Eržen in Martin Hudale. Temu odboru se da polna moč, da s pomočjo odvetnika Ludwi-ga Zupančiča stori vse, da dobi blagajna manjkajoči denar nazaj in da krivec prejme zasluženo kazen. Društvu št. 26 pa se naroči, da v zadevi krivca stori korake, ki jih za take primere določajo pravila.
Na dnevni red pride mesto j prihodnjega zborovanja. Nomi-j nirani sta bili mesti Pittsburgh in Herminie; za Pittsburgh jel bilo oddanih 11 glasov, za Her-| minie pa 14. Prihodnja seja fe-j deracije se bo torej vršila v naselbini Herminie v nedeljo 29.; oktobra. Začetek seje je dolo-! čen za 10. uro dopoldne.
S tem je bil dnevni red izčr-1 pan in predsednik se zahvali j zborovalcem za lep red in po-1 zornost ter jih vabi, da se polnoštevilno udeležijo prihodnjega zborovanja, nakar zaključi sejo ob 1. uri popoldne.
Za federacijo društev J. S. K. Jednote v zapadni Pennsylvaniji :
Vincent Arch, zapisnikar.
Herminie, Pa. — Glede delavskih razmer v naši okolici ne bom poročal, ker smo menda v prav tistem razredu kot drugod.

Zato je važno, da se seje udeležijo vsi člani in članice, da ne bo potem kakega ugovarjanja. Kdor se seje ne bo udeležil, bo kaznovanj kot določajo pravila; izvzeti soj le člani na bolniški listi.
Vsa sosedna društva so tem j potom prošena, da na 25. no- j vembra ne bi prirejala svojih ve-! selic in da bi se članstvo istih v i kar največjem številu udeležilo! naše prireditve. Ob priliki slič-nih prireditev drugih društev j bomo skušali naklonjenost po-! vrniti. Na veselici bo igral orkester Jos. Koračina iz Yukona. Na svidenje! — Za društvo št.; 198 JSKJ:

S pota. — Jesenska idila Minnesote se posebno izraža z divjimi racami in drugo gozdno perutnino. Mnogo povodnih ptic se zbira ob številnih minnesotskih jezerih; tam raste divji riž, ki ga povodne ptice cenijo. Ko tu ali tam zagrmi strel puške, se dvignejo v zrak cele jate splaše-nih ptic.
Od mlade delegacije, ki se je v začetku avgusta mudila v Elyu, Minn., še vedno od tu ali tam dobim kak pozdrav. Vsakemu teh delegatov, če mi s kartico pošlje svoj naslov, bom poslal tako zvani “folder” s slikami Minnesote.
Zadnje čase se ukvarjam z urejevanjem zbirke raznih starinskih predmetov .tikajočih se naše slovenske zgodovine v Ameriki. Vse to bo poslano Slovenskemu Narodnemu Domu v Cleveland, ki bo poskrbel, da se bo to ohranilo v narodnemu muzeju. Ako ima kateri drugi rojak kak tak predmet, o katerem misli, da bi bilo dobro, če bi se ohranil v kaki zbirki, ki bi na en ali drug način predstavljal dobo našega slovenskega priseljeni-štva, naj ga pošlje omenjenemu muzeju. Naslov je: “Slovene National Home, 6409 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, Ohio.” Dr. Zaplotnik, svečenik, zgodovinar in pisatelj, mi piše z zapada, da zdaj je skrajni čas, da zberemo in spravimo na varno mesto razne zgodovinske reči. Ako tega ne storimo, bo po naši smrti vse to razmetano in izgubljeno. Ne samo našim yiotomcem, ampak tudi ameriškim zgodovinarjem bodo take starinske zbirke zanimive in dobrodošle. Zato naj bi se čim več takih reči ohranilo.

White Valley, Pa. — Zadnjič sem poročal, da se bo prihodnja seja pennsylvanske federacije JSKJ vršila v Herminie No. 1, v Slovenski dvorani. To ni bilo pravilno. Pravilno je, da se bo seja vršila v nedeljo 29. oktobra v Herminie No. 1, v Green Halli. Pričetek ob 10. uri dopoldne. Prosim, da to vsi zastopniki upoštevajo.
Več članov me je že vprašalo, zakaj federacija ne upošteva zapisnika. Dejali so, da ni vredno zastopnikov pošiljati na-seje, če se zapisnika ne upošteva. To se tiče nekaterih društev, ki nimajo plačane federacijske članarine, toda njihovi zastopniki imajo na sejah prav toliko pravice kot tisti, katerih društva imajo plačano članarino. Ako posamezni član pri društvu ne plača točno svojega asesmenta, je suspendiran in nima nobene ! pravice. Nekaj takega bi moralo veljati tudi pri federaciji za tista društva, ki ne plačajo svoje članarine.
Meni je neljubo pisati take opomine, pa sem dolžan kot tajnik federacije, želel bi, da tista društva, ki še nimajo plačane članarine, poravnajo isto pred sejo, da bo moje poročilo o zaostajajočih društvih krajše.
Upam, da se polnoštevilno snidemo v nedeljo 29. oktobra v Herminie No .1, v Green Halli. Tajnica tamkajšnjega društva št. 154 JSKJ je poročala, da za po seji bo prirejene nekoliko zabave. Torej, na svidenje! — Za federacijo društev JSKJ v zapadni Pennsylvaniji:
Jurij Previc, tajnik.
Barberton, O. — To je zadnji poziv članom in članicam društva Sv. Martina, št. 44 JSKJ, da se gotovo udeležijo naše maš-karadne veselice (Hallowe’en Dance), ki se bo vršila v soboto 28. oktobra v dvorani društva “Domovina.”
Louis Gumbarevic in njegov orkester bodo proizvajali godbo za stare in mlade.
Za maske sta določeni dve nagradi. Naj lepše oblečena maska bo dobila $2.00 nagrade, najbolj komično oblečena pa $1.00.
članstvo naj upošteva, da je dobiček prireditve namenjen društveni blagajni, iz katere se pomaga plačevati asesmente tistim, ki so v stiski in potrebi; seveda se iz društvene blagajne pokrivajo tudi drugi društveni stroški. Blagajna je last vseh in namenjena v korist vsem članom in članicam, zato je pa tudi vsakega člana in vsake članice dolžnost, da pomaga k vzdrževanju iste. Vsled tega upam, da se vsi snidemo na naši maška-radni veselici v soboto 28. oktobra. — Za društvo št. 44 JSKJ : Angela Zalar, tajnica.
Chisholm, Minn. — članice društva Sloga, št. 230 JSKJ, posebno tiste, ki se zadnjih dveh sej niso udeležile, obveščam, da bo za mesec november društvena naklada. Ta naklada bo znašala 25 centov za vsako članico in bo veljala samo za mesec november. Na seji je bilo sklenjeno, da letos ne priredimo nobene veselice. Nekaj dohodkov za blagajno moramo torej dobiti od drugod, in sicer to pot od društvene naklade, ki jo plača vsaka članica.
Tu na Chisholmu imamo še dosti lepo vreme, toda kako dolgo bo tako ostalo, se nič ne ve, ker na jesensko vreme se ni zanesti.

“Raduj se moje milosti in mojih svaril in mojih naročil! Le tebi govorim: Ko si storil naročeno, pojdi in stori dalje po moji besedi! Ker nekdo je, ki je gad in steguje svojo glavo s svojimi zobmi, ki so strupeni in čaka. Nate čaka, ki si moj izbranec, da ti zasadi v telo svoje zobe in te zastrupi s svojim strupom. Odpr i oči in glej: v prikupni podobi prihaja in sužnja tvojega se imenuje.”
“O gadu mi govoriš, o silni?” je vzkliknil faraon. “Slišim Tvoje besede in umejem njihov smisel, a imena ne doumem. Kdo je, ki čaka in ki govoriš o njem?”
“Iz tvoje bližine je.”
“Amonis?”
“Ne dvomi v mojega svečenika.”
“Tu tališ?”
“Proti večeru se nagiblje njegovo življenje.”
“Nefteramis?”
“Oskrbuje tvoj dvor in obrede.”
“Sitis?”
“Varuje ti zaklade.”
“Amarazis?”
‘Zvestoba zvestobe je njegovo ime.”
“Libis?”
“Po mojem ukazu sodi in ne po svoji besedi.”
“Kdo je tedaj?”
Zlato božanstvo ni odgovorilo. Potresni sunek je v tistem hipu razmajal tla, stene so zastokale, strop se je zazibal. Semis Ofiris je prestrašen planil kvišku.
“S svojim srdom mi odgovarjaš ?” je kriknil. “Ne razumem j Tvojega odgovora.”	!
Potresni sunek se je ponovil še močneje.
“O veliki, silni, najsilnejši! Zakaj je Tvoja jeza udarila naša tla in zamajala naše stene? Milost!”
Faraonove besede so izzvenele v krik groze, a odgovor zlate- j ga božanstva je zamrl v novem, tretjem in najmočnejšem sunku, j Malik se je zamajal, nagnil in telebnil na tla pred faraona, ki jei preplašen odskočil, izbulil oči in se zastrmel v skrivnostno pri- j kazen. Tam, kjer je stal poprej porušeni zlati kip, je stala sedaj | spačena starka. Za njo je zevala temna, v steni ce izgubljajoča j odprtina.
“Ti?” je kriknil Semis Ofiris. “Čarovnica Arikdinila . .. Ti i si govorila.. . skrita v kipu. Ni govoril On. Kako si prišla sem?” | Faraon je planil proti starki, ki si je šele tedaj opomogla od presenečenja nad tem, kar se je zgodilo, se s skoraj mladostno I naglico obrnila in skočila v temno odprtino. Toda potres je pokvaril dvigalo. Zaman je pritiskala na vzvod.
“Stoj!” je kriknil Semis Ofiris in udaril na gong.
V sobo je planila telesna straža. •	I
“Zgrabite čarovnico!” j# ukazal, toda stražniki se niso ganili. “Zgrabite jo!” je zarjul s pobesnelim glasom.
Starka se je okrenila proti njemu, se vzravnala in uprla vanj svoj srepi pogled. Počasi, samogibno je dvignila desnico in dejala:
“Ne dotikaj se me, Semis Ofiris!”
“Zgrabite jo!” je ponovil trdo faraon.
“Gorje tebi in vsakomur, ki se me dotakne! Šakal Anubis in vladar temin Osiris sta moja čuvarja. Kadar ju pokličem, bo konec tvoje slave, Semisirisa in Atlantide.”
“Zgrabite jo!” je zarjul faraon, da so se zdrznili stražarji in kakor stroji planili proti starki, ki je z dvignjeno desnico in ne da bi se skušala braniti pustila, da so jo prijeli in ji zvezali roke na hrbtu.
“Pokličite Nefteramisa, Amarazisa in Ibiskisa!” je ukazal faraon.
“Kaj nameravaš?” je vprašala mirno Arikdinila.
“Videla boš.”
“Svarim te še enkrat: izpusti me!”
“Ne! Izvedeti hočem, kako si prišla v kip, kako si mogla govoriti v imenu Najvišjega in zpkaj si mi narekovala stvari, ki sem jih izvršil?”
“Ne uniči zadnje rešitve!”
“Molči!”
‘Potem si izgubljen.”
Upehani so planili v sobo Nefteramis, Amarazis in Ibiskis ter prestrašeni vztrepetali, ko so zagledali pred seboj čarovnico.
“Poklical sem vas,” je dejal faraon, “da mi pomagate razrešiti uganko, ki kmalu ne bo več uganka. Amarazis, pomnoži .straže in pazi, da čarovnica ne pobegne; a ti Ibiskis, preišči ozadje porušenega kipa. Od kod in kako je prišla čarovnica do moje sobe? Kam vodi ta odprtina?”
Ibiskis je stopil k steni in posvetil v tesno špranjo. Opazil je odprtino, komaj dovelj veliko,, da more vanjo človek srednje debeline. Ko si jo je natanko ogledal, je spoznal, da je v njej dvigalo na vzvod, ki ne deluje.
“To je skriven dohod iz podzemlja, oskrbljen z dvigalom," je dejal po kratkem molku. Zakrival ga je zlati kip Najvišjega. Po njem je mogla čarovnica neopaženo priti do njega in obstati v votlini. Potres, ki je porušil kip, je pokvaril tudi dvigalo in spuščevalno napravo. Morali bi jo šele natanko preiskati in popraviti, da bi mogli dognati kam vodi. Sicer pa, naj govori čarovnica sama.”
“Kam vodi dvigalo? Odkod si prišla-” je vprašal faraon. Arikdinila je ostalk negibna kakor kip. Ni odgovorila, in na njenem obličju se ni ganila niti ena sama mišica.
“Govori!” je ukazal veliki.
Zastonj.
“Dobro, .ugotovili bomo sami. Sedaj razumem vse. Ce je bil votel ta kip in je skrival skrivni dohod iz podzemlja, potem je votel tudi oni, ki stoji v sobi pobegle princese iz dežele večernih gora. Preiščimo ga!”
Faraon, Nefteramis, Amarazis in Ibiskis so se napotili v palačo ljubimk. Za njimi so stražniki vlekli nemo Arikdinilo. Ibiskis je udaril po kipu božanstva, nastavil uho na kovino in prisluhnil.
“Tudi ta je votel..je dejal.
I ‘Odstranite ga!” je ukazal faraon.
Ibiskis je poklical stražarje in evnuhe in jim dal navodila za | delo. Skušali so kip najprej omajati, a ker se ni vdal, so prinesli j dleta in pričeli razbijati kamenje, h kateremu je bil pritrjen s j kovinskimi vezmi. Ko so jih odstranili, se je kip sam odluščil od stene in — za njim se je pokazala prav taka odprtina kakor za kipom v faraonovi sobi.
“To je pot, po. kateri je pobegnila princesa,” je dejal Amarazis.
“Da,” je pritrdil faraon.
. “A kako je mogla kip odstraniti in spet postaviti na prejšnje mesto?” je vzkliknil Nefteramis.
“Tudi to skrivnost razrešimo,” je dejal Ibiskis in pričel preiskovati kip sam. Kmalu je ugotovil, da je sestavljen iz dveh ! polqvic, iz zadnje, ki je tvorila nekake podboje, in iz prednje, podobne vratom. Posebna strojasta naprava je omogočala prednji pokrov odpreti, toda samo od notranje strani. Ko je bil zopet ; zaprt, se od zunaj ni dal premakniti.
“Zamotana naprava, velika mojstrovina,” je vzkliknil gradi-j tel j. Sedaj je dvigalo spuščeno in počiva nekje v neznani globini.
| Človek, ki pozna napravo, pride lahko do nje, se dvigne v njej do kipa, ga od znotraj odpre, opravi svoje delo v sobi, se vrne v kip, ga spet zapre ter odide po isti poti in na isti način v podzemlje.”
“Tako je napravil tisti, ki je odpeljal princeso,” je dejal Nefteramis.
“Torej sama tega ni mogla storiti?” je vprašal faraon.
“Nikoli,” je odgovoril Ibiskis.
“Skrivnost je razrešena,” je dejal Semiš Ofiris. “Ta skrivna pota je doslej poznala samo čarovnica.”
“In ona je odpeljala Evalasto,” je vzkliknil Amarazis.
“Da,” je pritrdil faraon. “Samo ona, nihče drugi. Potem se je obrnil k zvezani Arikdinili in dejal ukazujoče:
“Priznaj!”
Starka ni odgovorila.
“Odgovori svojemu gospodu, faraonu faraonov!” je ukazal! Nefteramis.	i
Zaman.
“Govori!” je kriknil faraon.
Starka je molčala.
“Pošljem te v mučilnico, tam boš govorila!” je siknil veliki, i
Tedaj se je čarovnica vzravnala, mu zaničljivo pogledala v | oči in dejala,:
“Arikdinila ne odgovarja onim, ki jih je preklela. Ce je v tebi moč, je v meni sovraštvo, ki je še močnejše. Svarila sem te, Semis Ofiris! Preživela sem vrsto tvojih prednikov, strla jih je moja kletev. Nad njimi je bilo moje maščevanje. Ne poznaš mi izvora in ne veš, kdo sem. Nihče izmed vas ne ve. Samo en človek je na svetu, ki pozna mojo skrivnost.”
“Povej jo!” je dejal faraon.
“Izpusti me!”

0 kozici, slovnici in blagostanju
utrgal jaz, dasi mi včasi iskajo-če oko še uhaja po zeleni grivi. Naša kozica- pa jih prinaša kar v šopih domov in da bi res bila to, kakor jo kličemo, bi skoro lahko živela ob sami štiri- in petperesni deteljici; tako pa z njo zgolj kvari slovensko književnost: vsi Zvoni in Kresovi, oba Wolfa in Pleteršnika sta mi že polna tega stisnjenega bilja.
Iz opisanega njenega razmerja napram deteljici je dopusten sklep, da je vid naše deklice v zadovoljivem redu. Pa vendar sama zatrjuje, da vidi slabo, in trdi to vsakikrat, kadar jo podim h klavirju.
Potemtakem bi ji klavir neugodno vplival na vid. Pa morebiti na vonj tudi, ker dosledno namrdne nos, kadar mu pride blizu. In še toži o njem, da nagaja njenim prstom. Čudna žival tak klavir!
Skratka — klavirja naše dekletce ne ljubi.
Ljubi pa knjige in — kar je poglavitno — ljubi šolo. Šola je poglavitna reč! Šola je steber človeške družbe in sploh in tako dalje, kakor že rečeno. In sem bil zadovoljen in vesel, ko sem gledal, s kakim navdušenjem je pohajala tisti svoj četrti razred, se učila in izdelovala svoje naloge.
Pa se je zgodilo, da me je iz-nenadila, iznenadila baš zastran j šole in nikakor ne prijetno.
Bil sem par tednov z doma in sem bil srečen, ko sem se zopet vrnil v vajeni red in našel vse zdravo.
Dekletce se me je kakor po j navadi oklenilo okoli vratu pa j sem jo kakor po navadi vprašal : “Kozica, ko me ni bilo do-1 ma, da bi te priganjal, ali si se : tačas kaj učila klavirja?”
“Klavirja?” je dejala in so | se ji zaiskrile oči. “O, klavirja, je samostalnik moškega spola, ednina, drugi sklon, klavir,! klavirja,' klavirju, klavir, pri i klavirju, s klavirjem, pika.” In j me je pogledala zmagovito.
Odgovor mi ni ustrezal. Ne j rečem, obsebi je bil nemara pravilen. Ali imel je hibo, da se ni i dotikal vprašanja. Pa sem dejal: “Ti mi povej, ali je bila go-1 spodična pri klavirju s tabo za-1 dovoljna?”
Zopet so se ji zaiskrile oči! in so ji zažarela lica: “Zado- j voljna ? ‘Zadovoljna’ je pridev-1 nik ženskega spola, ednina, prvi j sklon. Zadovoljen, zadovoljna, i Zadovoljno—” in potem je ne- j srečni ta pridevnik mikastila v j vseh treh spolih in v vseh treh j številih, oziroma kolikor- jih je, | in ji je šlo: drrrrrr — na koncu je rekla: pika. In še je dostavila: “Ne boš me ujel!” — Kakor da je ne vprašujem zaradi klavirja, nego se z njo lovim kaj vem po kakšni gmajni.
Pa mi niti ni pustila časa, da preudarim, kako naj drugače zasučem vprašanja, da pridem do cilja, ampak je 'obrnila bojno kopje in mi ga nastavila na prsi: “Pa ti sedaj odgovori, atek, kateri so oziralni zaimki!”
Boj Bog, oziralni zaimki! Seveda so! Mar jih tajim? In jih je kolikor toliko. Toda se ne sme takole butniti vame z vprašanjem. Človek ima vendar živce — ne? Če kar treščiš vame z | vprašanjem, potem seveda ne morem odgovoriti — še svoje lastno ime bi pozabil tisti hip.
Pa je že kar sama odgovarjala mesto mene: “Oziralni zaimki so, dvopičje, prvič samostal- i ni, dvopičje, kdor in kar, vejica, i drugič pridevni, dvopičje, kateri, katera, katero — in tako da- j lje in je kar mižala in ji je šlo drrrrr, pika.
Kaj takega še nisem bil videl in slišal, jemalo mi je sapo, njej pa je zrastla samozavest in mi je ukazala: “Atek, vprašaj me še nedoločne zaimke!”
Pa je zopet zadrdrala nedoločne zaimke, dvopičje in na koncu pika, in ne vem več, katere je naštela nedoločne zaimke, vesel sem, da sem si zapomnil od oziralnih tri.
Bogme, stvar se mi je zdela čudna.
Dejal sem: “Dekletce, ali te veseli to-le?”
Odgovorila je in je bila kar zamaknjena od rajskega blažen-stva: “Atek, ni lepšega na svetu, nego je slovnica.”
Zraven je sedela žena in so ji nosnice razodevale zadovoljstvo in ponos.
Meni pa je pritisnila v glavo skrb.
Ali je pravilno, ali je naravno, da se mlado, zdravo dekletce v nežni ^tarosti desetih let i tako brezmejno navdušuje za | sklone in zaimke in števila in j kaj vem še za kaj in da nima ves pestri svet nič lepšega zanjo nego slovnico.
Spal sem zelo slabo tisto noč, drugo jutro pa sem šel in se poklonil gospe učiteljici.
“Dovolite,” sem dejal, “da imam čast, jaz sem ta in ta . . .” Prijazno mi je stisnila roko: “Veseli me,” je rekla, “jako nadarjeno imate hčer.”
“Prosim,” sem rekel, “veste razumete — skrbi mi/ povzroča zastran slovnice ...”
“O,” me je prekinila, “pomirite se, v slovnici je doma kakor v lastni košulji. Lahko vam čestitam. Kajti baš slovnica je podlaga vsem drugim vedam in strokam, tako rekoč temelj bodočnosti in blagostanja. Veseli me, resnično me veseli!"
Nisem vedel reči drugega, nego da sem se vljudno zahvalil in poslovil, in mi ni bilo ljubo, da sem se ob pragu spodteknil.
Pa sedaj premišljujem svet in slovnico in sebe.
Delal sem in se trudil vse žive dni, že postajam siv, ali o bodočnosti in blagostanju pri meni še ni sledu — mislim, da tri knjige in en bel telovnik še ne štejejo za bodočnost in blagostanje. Ugibal sem že večkrat kaj je temu krivo. Pa sedaj preudarjam, ali je morebiti krivo to, da nedostaje moji bodočnosti in mojemu blagostanju onega dovolj trdnega temelja, ki ga je omenila gospa učiteljica?
Ako je tako — ali je še čas in ali ni prekasno in ali je sploh mogoče, da si sedaj na stara le-
O našem dekletcu že dolgo ni-j Sem nič povedli! Pravijo sicer,1 da so vobče one dame boljše, o katerih se manj govori. Toda je naše dekletce na poti proti dam-stvu prispelo šele do stopnje, ki jo označuje nežna prispodoba s kozo, pa mislim, da ne more u- i propastiti ugleda in bodočnosti naše kozice, ako izpregovorim1 o njej dve, tri besede.
Dekletce raste in ji postajajo krila od dne do dne modernejša, namreč prekratka.
Češe se in spleta že sama. Kiti ji slikovito padata nizdol sre- j di koščenih pleč in je obžalovati zgolj brezsrčnost matere narave, ki je ustvarila pleča vzad in; ne spred, vsled česar zrcalo ob I vsej dobri volji ni kos in ni, ra-: zodeti lastnim zvedavim očem! mlade gledalke divoto njenega lasovja. Ima namreč naša kozica že zmisla za pojave ženske lepote, seveda kolikor jih je moči doseči brez prenapornega prizadevanja z vodo in milom. Madežev od črnila, vernih prič njenega delovanja na polju šolske prosvete, niso ji na primer prstki prosti ne ob petkih ne ob svetkih. A na vrhuncu biva zemeljske slasti, kadar ji tičita nogi v belih šolničkih iz jelenove kože. '
Kot najstarejša izmed našega podrastka se zaveda svoje vodilne vloge in jo tudi udejstvuje.
Poverjeništvo za bogočastje je izročeno njenim rokam in ga upravlja vešče in neutrudno, nesebično in nepristransko. Molitev, molitvic in pobožnih zdihljajev pozna milijon, takih z odpustki in takih brez. 'V jasnem sopranu kipi njena pobožnost proti nebu in ko pride do “Čast bodi Očetu," nobenkrat ne izpusti, zategniti “čast" in zraven pokloniti glavo. “Roro-rorororo” jo spremljajo nižji glasovi bratcev — vsi trije pogrkujejo, prvi iz naravnega svojstva svojega grla, mlajša dva, ker sta se naučila od starejšega — in bi jih bilo slišati
lepo kakor korarje v polkrogu 1 ža' oltar jfem, dane bi imel naj'-' mlajši, imenovan “Dimež, strah kranjske dežele,” svojih muh. : Z neodoljivo brezobzirnostjo prekinja korarski zbor z izjavo, < da ve lepo, lepo smešnico, in ne čaka, marveč jo korarskemu : zboru, nenadno vrženemu iz tira pobožnosti, tudi takoj pove in so njegove smešnice po navadi take vrste, kakršnih se v boljši družbi ne pripoveduje.
Pa bodi mimogrede še povedano, da se mi včasi ta naš mali dozdeva, kakor da ne verjame v Boga. Ne da bi bil načelen svobodomislec in brezverec! Nasproti — njegova vera je izredno živa in neomajna, kolikor gre za svetega Miklavža, za Božička in za zajčka, ki nosi pisane piruhe. Le baš za dragega Boga samega mu nedostaje zanimanja. Nemara pogreša pri dragem Bogu onih mladinoljub-nih svojstev, ki jih tako prijet-! no vsak o svojem času razode-\ vajo sveti Miklavž in Božiček in j zajček, pa sodi mali mož v svoji dečji nepoučenosti, da dragi Bog sploh ne spada v versko j področje nežne mladine, ampak ! mu je posla le z odraslim človeštvom. In je dečko star že pet let in našo deklico že sedaj skrbi, kako se bosta bližnje leto, ko prične s šolo, gledala z gospodom katehetom, ki brez dvoma ne bo trpel takega verskega stališča.
Sorojenci in briga za njih u-sodo so sploh za naše dekletce neizčrpen vir neštetih bridkih ur. Ob obilni zgovornosti zmajeva svojo mlado glavo nad brezbrižnostjo roditeljev, ki da križem držita roke in se ne ganeta niti spričo zavržnih smeš-nic najmlajšega niti ne spričo grdih razvad obeh starejših, ki j pri jedi cingljata z vilicami ob j krožnik in nikdar čisto ne pojesta, kar se jima naloži.
Sicer je naše dekletce sedaj v letih, ko ni štiri- ali petperesne deteljice ob poti, da bi ji ostala prikrita. Več nego trideset let je že preteklo, kar sem zadnjo
