C.. 10. upr. — Nemčija bo morala izbirati med brezpogojno kapitulacijo in popolnim uničenjem. Tako so izjavili visoki ameriški uradniki. Ako bodo Nemci še nadalje sledili voditeljem nacijske stranke, bodo morali tudi prevzeti odgovornost za posk'dice. Ameriško, kakor tudi zavezniško politiko, napram Nemčiji so orisali pomožni državni tajnik James C. Dunn, Robert Murphy, politični svetovalec generala Eisenhowerja, in Archibald MacLeish, pomožni državni tajnik. "Nemci ne bodo mogli trditi zdaj, kakor so po zaključenju prve svetovne vojne, da so bili prevarani," je rekel Murphy. "Takrat so naglašali, da so.jih zavezniki prevurali in da so odložili orožje, ko dežela) ni bila premagana. Sedaj so priča stvari, katero najbolje razumejo— premoči sile orožja." Murphy, ki se je nedavno vrnil v Ameriko ic Evrope, je razkril, da bo zavezniška vojaška vlada v Nemčiji skušala oživeti strokovne unije, katere je Hitler zatrl. "Dva najvažnejša problema sta preobrazba Nemcev in vrnitev prav.ic delavcem," je dejal. "Hitlor ki člani njegove gunge bodo dobili zasluženo kužen zu storjene vojne zločine, kakor tudi za umore Židov in prebivalcev v okupiranih deže lah; Kolikor je znano, ni še no ben vodja nacijske stranke pobegnil v nevtralno državo.

Kako dolgo bo trajala vojaška okupacija, zdaj še ni znano. Avstrija ne bo združena Nemčijo v vidni bodočnosti Zavezniki bodo nadzirali preob razbo nemškega ljudstva in kon trolirali njegovo gospodarstvo.

Cilj te kampanje je 150 milijonov funtov «tare, toda še dobre obleke. Pretežna večina te obleke in obutve bo poslana v Evropo, ki je doma lega vsa raztrgana in bosa. Večja količina t » obleke bo poslana tudi v Ju-f.oslavijo, ki je med najbolj prizadetimi deželami. V Chicagu se lahko pusti ta obleka v poštnih uradih, čistilnicah obleke in raznih drugih trgovinah in dvoranah, kakor tudi v Mestni hiši. Kvota za to mesto je devet milijonov funtov obleke, obutve in posteljnine. Ves ta zbrani material bo treba spraviti v red za odpošiljatev preko morja. Vse to bo treba napraviti s prostovoljnimi delavci in delavkami. Načelništvo te človekoljubne kampanje se o-brača do vseh Cikažanov, moških in žensk, da bi se priglasili za prostovoljno delo ob prostem času za ureditev tega dela.

O.—Na velikonočno nedeljo je imelo društvo Svoboda ŠU 748 SNPJ letno veselico, katera je dobro uspela. Mladina je bila vesela, ampak mnogo članic se ni udeležilo; nekatere so bolne, druge trudne, tretje imajo preveč dela itd. Zahvaliti se želimo sledečim: Josephu Durnu, ki je daroval $2, ker se radi bolezni ni mogel udeležiti veselice, Johnu Kossu, ki je sicer prišel na veselico, toda ni mogel ostuti ter daroval $1 v blagajno. Sestra Anna Jur-gek je darovala dva dolarja, ker se ni mogla udeležiti. Nadalje si- zahvaljujemo Johnu Zaicu, ki je prišel zgodaj in hitro prodajal troAne listke, kasneje pu je prevzela to delo njegova žena Ana. Frank Barbič je pomagal Josephine Vesel pobirati vstopnice pri vratih. Andy Gorjanc pa je bil točaj ves večer in prav tako članice Anna Vadnal, Antonia Tomlc in Ann Chemie.

Ako bi pridobili tistih 13,000 delavcev, ki so organizirani v ADF in CIO, bi prihranili ne samo $100,000 svojim odjemalcem, ampak $250,000. Kaj bi lahko napravili iz tega denarja, si lahko vsakdo predstavlja. Ako pa bomo čakali, da bodo delo drugi izvršili namesto nas, ga bomo pa tako vršili kot smo ga do sedaj in delavci bomo na škodi. Kakor sem že omenil, med nami, med delavstvom, je vse premalo zanimanja za zadružništvo. Ko je VVaukegan-North Chicago zadružna zveza sklicala sejo, se ta ni mogla vršiti, ker ni bilo zadostno število članstva navzočega. Potem je bilo sklenjeno, da se bo seja vršila 21. aprila v Slovenskem narodnem domu. Apeliram na članstvo, da se seje udeleži v polnem številu. Pri-četek bo ob pol osmih. Članstvu so bila razposlana priporočila in računi, V priporočilih nI vključeno, da ima direktorij v načrtu modernizirati in povečati glavno trgovino in prav tako podružnico. O vsem tem ima članstvo odločati na omenjeni seji. zato se seje gotovo udeležite. Volitve za waukeganško šolsko okrožje pa se bodo vršile 14. aprila. V šolski odbor kandidira tudi Anton Pire, ki je dobro poznan med tukajšnjimi Slovenci, zato mi ni treba opisovati, kdo je. Vsi vemo, da ima dovolj zmožnosti za omenjeni urad. Naša dolžnost je, da gr6mo volit in damo svoj glas mlademu Pircu. J. Mesec, član zadruge. SREDA, 11, APRILA GLAS IZ INDIANE Clinton, Ind. — Vsakdo raje bere kot piše. Tako je tudi z menoj, zato sem se zakasnel s tem poročilom, toda boljše pozno kot nikoli. Naši javnosti poročam, da smo tudi v naši naselbini pobirali obleko za naše brate in sestre v Jugoslaviji. Ko smo čitali apel za zbiranje obleke, katero naši rojaki v stari domovini zelo potrebujejo, je društvo "Skala" v lu namen sklicalo izredno' sejo, na katero so bili povabljeni vsi tukajšnji Slovenci. Izvolili smo poseben odbor in šli na delo okrog Slovencev in drugih narodov. V nekaj dnevih smo skupaj zbrali 400 funtov obleke in jo poslali v New York. Tedaj je bijo razglašeno, da mora biti obleka In druge poti ebšeine najkasneje do 15. novembra v New Yorku, da bo vse pripravljeno, ko pride po tovor j jugoslovanska ladja. Ker pa nismo bili gotovi, da bo naša odpo-šiljka prišla do 15. novembra, ee je ne pošljemo z ekspresom, smo jo poslali z ekspresom in plačali $20.90. Ta znesek je plačalo društvo št. 50 SNPJ iz svoje blagajne. Sestra Frances Hu-domal pa je šla pobirat prostovoljne prispevke za jugoslovanski relif in nabrala lepo vsoto $172.50. Denar je poslala br. V. Cainkarju. Naša naselbina ni več tako velika kot je bila nekdaj, ko je živelo tu veliko Slovencev, zategadelj je zgorajšnja vsota lepa za tako majhno naselbino, da-siravno ni posebno velika. V imenu Jugoslovanov se najlepše zahvaljujem vsem za darove. Pri našem društvu ni posebnih izprememb. Nove člane je zelo težko pridobiti in tako imamo približno enako število članov že nekaj let. Od našega društva je v vojni osem članov, ki so razkropljeni po raznih frontah. Frankie Jarc in Joseph Stih sta na japonski fronti, John Rosina, Louis Mazelj in Allen Guriel se nahajajo na nemški fronti. Brat Guriel je bil meseca januarja ranjen ih se še vedno nahaja v bolnišnici nekje na Francoskem. Tako je pisal svojim staršem. John Mazelj in Daniel Stih pa sta šla k trgovski mornarici, a slednji je izgubil življenje, ko je bila ladja torpedirana. To je bilo meseca septembra 1. 1943. Riko Knaflic pa je bil na italijanski fronti 18 mesecev, potem pa so ga poslali v Indijo na tako-zvano burmsko cesto. Pred šestimi meseci pa je bil poslan v Islandijo. Pred kratkim pa je pisal materi, da bo prišel domov na dopust. Strica Sama služi že četrto leto in to bo njegov prvi dopust. Naše društvo želi, da bi se vsi člani kmalu zdravi in veseli povrnili domov. Meseca februarja so tu pričeli z graditvijo smodnišnice št. 2. Pri delu je bilo zaposlenih 1500 delavcev in predno bi bila do-gotovljena, bi zaposlili pet tisoč delavcev raznih strok. Dne 4. februarja pa je prišlo povelje od vlade, da se delo ustavi in delavce odslovi.

Vabimo vse naše rojake in rojakinje, da se vsi udeležite te prireditve, kar bo v pomoč trpečim, a vam pa v razvedrilo. Naznanjam tudi, da bomo kampanjo za nabiranje obleke in obuvala za uboge naše brate in sestre v stari domovini nadaljevali meseca maja. S tem pa ni rečeno, da tudi sedaj ne sprejemamo takega blaga, ker ravno zdaj je pravi čas, ko gospodinje spravljajo zimsko obleko in jo nadomeščajo z letno, da pregledate rabljeno a še dobro obleko in obuvala ter prinesete v dvorano društva 138 SNPJ; ako pa vam ni mogoče prinesti, pa pokličite telefonsko ' številko 350 ali 1672 in prišli bomo po obleko ali obuvala, ali kar že imate, kar bi koristilo onim, ki so v veliki potrebi, bedi in pomanjkanju. .Pomagajte svojim bratom in sestram sedaj, ko so pomoči potrebni, za kar vam bodo hvaležni.

Kuhel, gl. blagajnik SNPJ in tajnik SANSa. Po govoru se bo vršila plesna veselica in igrala bo izvrstna slovenska godba Josepha Stamp-helna. Odbor se trudi in deluje, da bo priredba prinesla veliko uspeha, kajti če je kdaj potreboval slovenski narod v stari domovini pomoči, jo potrebuje danes. Toda odbor brez poset-nikov ne more storiti čudežev. Potrebujemo vsestransko kooperacijo. V imenu podružnice se obračamo na vse rojake in rojakinje v tukajšnjih krajih, da po-setijo to priredbo in pomagajo, da bomo častno storili svojo dolžnost v teh krajih. Ako pa se radi dela ne morete udeležiti, potem pa vsaj vstopnico kupite ali pa pošljite kakšen dolar za trpeči narod. Na priredbi boste imeli priliko seznaniti se z Mirkom Kuh-lem, ki bo prvič v naših krajih. Zaeno apeliram, da pridite na veselico pravočasno, kajti ob polnoči moramo ugasniti luči tudi v spodnjih prostorih. Naj ne bo to vabilo glas vpijočega v puščavi! Pokažimo, da imamo čut do svojega naroda. Poseti-mo to priredbo v tako velikem številu kot zadnjič, ki se je vršila za isti namen. Vojne bo najbrže kmalu konec in tedaj bomo imeli zavest, da smo storili svojo dolžnost in narod nam bo hvaležen. To je zadnje va- bilo od mene kot predsednika postojanke in upam, da bo dobilo odmev. Joseph Snoy. predsednik. VABILO NA SEJO Pueblo, Colo.—Naznanjam, da se bo vršila prihodnja seja podružnic JPO-SS in SANSa v nedeljo, 22. aprila, ob dveh popoldne v dvorani sv. Jožefa. Odbor želi, da se vsi zastopniki in drugi udeleže v velikem številu, da bomo lahko šli na delo za križani slovenski narod v stari domovini, kateri zelo potrebuje naše pomoči.

Minn. — Na zadnji federacijski seji tukajšnjih društev SNPJ je bilo sklenjeno, da pripravim vso potrebno za prihodnjo iederacijsko sejo, ki s-e bo vršila 29. aprila ob eni popoldne v Chisholmu v klubovi sobi v poslopju Community. ■ Ta seja bo zelo važna za vsa društva SNPJ v Minnesoti, pa če pripadajo federaciji ali pa ne. Pričakujemo, da bo udeležba velika, ne manj kot 50 zastopnikov, lahko pa bi jih bilo tudi več. Zato prosim vsa društva SNPJ, ki imajo svoje sedeže v železnem okrožju, prav tako ona na vzhodni strani Gilberta in zahodno od Chisholma, da gotovo pošljejo svoje zastopnike na iederacijsko sejo. Vsi se lahko še spominjate, kako lepo je bilo pred leti, ko so bila na sejah zastopana vsa društva in federa-cijsko seje so bile take kakor kakšne majhne konvencije. Razumljivo, da bo prihodnja federacijska seja zelo važna, kajti konvencija SNPJ se bo vršila 13. avgusta v Evelethu. V zvezi s konvencijo imamo rešiti ■mnotfo važnih zadev, zato naj nikogar ne manjka na federacij:-ki seji! Na svidenje 29. aprila. Frank Klune, zapisnikar. Lt.

Sedaj so ria delu močne sile tud' v Ameriki, da tudi to dežel'» "osrečijo" z milita-tizmorn, ki je eno največjih kletstev človeštva. V preteklosti je bila Amerika tudi vsled te^a tako privlačna za vsakega svobodoljubnega človeku, ker ni poznala militarizma— nobene obvezne vojuške službe; tudi ni vzdrževulu velike oborožene sile. V tem Jo je pred vojno iaktično posekala vsaka tudi naj-manjšu evtopsku držuvu izven Skandinavije in Švice.• Imela je le prilično močno bojno mornarico, in to posebno po zadnji svetovni vojni. Po tej vojni naj pu tudi nu kopnem posnema evropski militarizem. Če to štor*, bo umeriško ljudstvo ječulo pod težjo duvčno butaro kot katerikoli drug nutod. Sigurno je tudi to, du bo milita! izem prej ali slej vrgel deželo »n snloh ves svet v novo svetovno klanje. Oglejmo si nekolikd v zadnjem članku navedene argumente. Prvi in glavni argument Je, da mora Amerika po vojni ostati čim močnejša vojaška sila, kujti pred novo vojno se bo zavarovala le • čim večjo armado—vsaj si pa zagotovila zmago v slučaju vojne. Slednje je mogoče resnica, kajti v obeh svetovnih vojnah je bila odločilna sila. In odločilna sila je bila predvsem radi svoje ogromne industrijske kapucitete, s katero je posebno v tej vojni pokazala prave čudeže. Predsednik vojnega produkcijskemu odboru Krug je pred nekuj tedni dvjul, du umerišku vojnu produkcija presega produkcijo VSEH OSTALIH DRŽAV na svetu. Toda tudi ta urgument: du si zagotovi zmago v novi vojni," je dvomljive vrednosti in polu samovarunju. Možnost namreč je, da v piihodnjjih 50 letih Amcriku ostane na drugem mestu na listi največjih gospoduiskill sil. Luhko se zgodi, du jo v tem času prekosi Sovjetska Rusija, ki je po obsegu, prebivalstvu in tudi po na-lavnih zakladih že danes nu prvem mestu. Ampak tudi če ne piidc do tega in si Amerika ohrani za nedogleden čas prvenstvo «kot največja gospodarska sila nu svetu, to samo na sebi ni nobena garancija, da bi zmagala tudi v prihodnji svetovni vojni, čeprav v militarizmu na vsej črti posnema Nemčijo ¿ 2.50 3-15-71/66 2.50 50,000.00 52,125.00 200,000.00 200,000.00 10,000.00 10,000.00 185,000.00 185,000.00 5,000.00 5,000.00 Vendor C.F.Childs it Co.

Of this amount 405 claims for operations and 27 disability claims were approved for payiajbnt; 79 claims were referred to the Executive Committee for further action and 30 claims were rejected. Applications examined for membership in the Society amounted to 470; 465 were approved and 5 rejected. Applications examined for increase in insurance amounted to 54. Qf this 41 were approved and 13 reiected. The many letters received from lodge members requesting medical advice, were promptly answered whenever a reply could be given without a personal examination. JOHN J. ZAVERTN1K, M. D. Dr. Zavertnik answers questions pertaining to soldier-members discharged from service due to various ailments and injuries and explains the method of cure. According to his opinion, it isn't advisable to admit discharged soldiers for the sick and disability inSUranae, that is those who were on the battlefronta, without a satisfactory statement of a physician and without the prescribed waiver for various sicknesses and injuries received during military service. Discharged soldiers get free complete service in various military and government hospitals-Report accepted. Session is adjourned at 12 noon. Report of Judicial Committee During the past six months the judicial committee received qnly four complaints which were settled in agreement with the main office and the members concerned, no vote of tho entire committee being necessary. This marked decreaae in the number of disputes in the pust few years can be ascribed to the present favorable conditions. The employment situation has limited unjustifiable demands for various benefits that were common especially during the great depresaion. Apparently, the present favorable conditions have ulso decreased personal misunderstandings among members which in former times wer# readily brought before our organization's tribunals. All this adds to the prestige of our Society. Frequent disputes cannot be regurded as a credit to any organization und can never benefit it. Disputes, especially of personal nature, cause bad feeling among members; naturally, in such circumstances, work In the interest of the organization is neglected. This is the joint report of the judicial committee. ANTON SHULAR, Chairman. FRANK V RATA RICH, FRANK BARBIC, ANDREW V1DRICH, JOSEPHINE MOCHNIK. Report of Auditing Committee All members of the auditing committee ware present at this audit, nftfpelv, Frank Zalt*. chairman; Andrew Grum, John Olip, Fred Malgai and Joseph Fifolt, committee members. We went into session on Feb. It, 194S and completed our w°*"k Feb. 14, 1 (.4lt ,i» , . , .The chairman of this committee waa also présent on Jan. 4, 1945, at the audit of bonds deposited in Harris Trust it Savings Bank in Chicago. The work was done by certified accountants Philip B. Heller it Co. • Which,,in agreement with our committee also audits tho books of oil SNPJ departments. Present at the audit of bonds in addition to Mr. Philip B. Heller and his usslstant, were President Calnkar. Secretary F. A. Vidw. Miss Wilma G ratchjuu,. bookkeeper, and this comraUte«'* chairman. The accountants confirmed that our bond assets are in order. Reports of the audit of bonds, deposits, administration, etc., for the past six months were prepared for us by the above mentioned company for all departments, that is. for the insurance department, minor beneficiaries fund, printery and publications. We discussed these matters with Mr. Heller at the session of this committee on Feb. 12, 1945. Assets 0/ SNPJ: Detuiled financial reports of the various departments have been given by the department heuds. Sec'y Vider reported on financial conditions of the insurance department (adult and juvenile). Our report gives only the combined ussets of all departments and how they are invested; alao, their dlatrlbution by percentage, which may serve for comparison. In the first half of last year we had 56.71% of our total assets in government bonds; in the second half of laat year (Dec, 31, 1944), we had 60 36%. On Dec. 31, 1043, our Investments In federal bonds amounted Ut 48 60%', an increase of approximately 12% in one year. On Dec. 31. 1044, we had only 3 11% of our total assets in state banks and 23.21% in municipal bonds. These two types of bonds were formerly our main source of investment; now, however. as these bonds are called, matured or Mild, the funds are being invested in federal Itonds, Total assets of all departments on Dec. 31, 1944, were $11,585.502.77, or 9314,434.21 more than on June 30, 1944. Total amount of municipal bonds in the past six months decreased $188,790 and total amount of federal bonds Increused $601,207.81. These ara two main comparisons which present a picture of current trends of our investments. Detailed report on this has been ittcsented by the finance cornmitb-e. The greatest gain In asset« during the past sis months is as usual in mortuary fund of the adult department in amount of $192.014.30; juvenile fund increase is $10.12« 00. Kick benefit funds show a gain of $44.42<"i5 and »mullet amounts in various other funds.

"To.begin with labor leht it tooth und nail, as did most Sthc industry and agriculture, on 1 ground that to enslave workers would cripple, not increase war production." It seems to me that the main rea-jon was the fact that the champions of this bill were entirely unable to prove that labor had in any way fallen down on its home front production job. Moreover, they were utterly unable to prove that a single soldier anywhere had been deprived of mu-wtion because of any lag in output at home. The sensational Allied successes against Germany and Japan prove this; they prove that the armed forces had been plentifully supplied by the voluntary efforts of labor. just why industiy fought the Illation mav not be altogether clear, but it is safe to say it did not do so to protect labor. On the contrary, it fought the measure because its own interests were involved—because it also threatened to "enslave" industry ... . All production figures show that arguments for the "draft labor" bill had no basis whatsoever. Only last week reports of an increasing number of cutbacks and layoffs in many parts of the country provided a preview of widespread unemployment facing workers after the war, unless drastic steps are taken by the government to head off such developments. For instance, news dispatches from Portland, Oregon, disclosed that 10,000 persons are walking the streets looking for jobs and that by the year's end the 112,000 now employed in shipyards there would shrink to 25,000. Layoffs are rising in many other war centers. All of which means that the manpower "shortage" may before long turn into a manpower surplus. And they were trying to saddle the country with a labor draft!

Juvenile Director Laat weak several paragraphs were written on the subject of young people in our lodges, with particular reference to those who are making no effort to attend meetings, affairs and other functions. While it concerned the youth pretty generally in all of the Society's lodges, it was meant mainly for the young people in the Slovene-Speaking Lodges. suits nearly always are satisfactory. We have a number of very good examples to which we can point wiUi pride. With Our Juvenile Circle« Way down east in Brooklyn. N. Y., the Junior All Americans of Circle No. 50 are busily preparing a gala :omedy program under the very able direction of Jennie Padar and her assistants. This affair is to be a Juvenile Circuí made up of numerous circus acts, with the children dressed up as animals, clowns, etc., and appropriate in-between attractions for extra entertainment. This promises to be a real treat, so all you SNPJ members and friends in Brooklyn und New York keep Sun., April 29, open for a visit to the American-Slovene Auditorium, 253 Irving Avenue, for that is the day the Mil Circles of tin SNPJ there and give the "kiddies" and the older children u big hand for all their hard work. • • • Out west in Pueblo, Colo., another busy program is in the process of production, this one featuring the members of the newly organized Juvenile Circle No. 53. The Circlo is managed by Valentine Udovich, assisted by Louis Malcnsek and Rose Radovich. Two one-act plays, selected from our Juvenile Library, both quite humorous and appropriate for almost any occasion will be presented in addition to several miscellaneous music and song numbers. In Girard. Ohio, the "Dawn of Youth" Circle (7), under the leader und assisted by his wife, Mury, is beginning to blaze new trails. On Suturday evening, July 7, this Circle will present "The Country Fair" as an important anniversary celebration, featuring displays of handicraft, *aney needlework, home-baked goodies, etc., which should yield barrels of good, wholesome fun and enjoyment for everyone—besides a few dollars of profit for the Circle'« treasury. Step right up and spend freely, folks. It's for a mighty good cause and purpose—your juveniles. •IM« Bt Ml Cor.foina Th— Six Tunm: "AWTZA MOJA rv ANCtLINA (Votmi) TttU* WALTZ (Or+nn.)

Thto albura to eold r Coroaa, M-mic oo p TJTJ^z c " Granted that there are exceptions here and there to the contrary, it is a well-known fact that u large percentage of the young people are not attending lodge meetings, are making no real attempt to understand the Society's problems, and are taking far too little interest in its purpose and progress. In a great number of cases, it is safe to assume that were it not for the parents paying the monthly assessments, many of them would soon allow their membership to lapse (members in military service, of course, are excluded from this category). And as for putting "new life" into the organization or trying to become a part of it through word, deed and action, they just .aren't doing anything about it. That's our youth problem, as I see it. The youth problem must be tack-led wherever it exists. The longer we choose to ignore it, the more complicated it will become and the more difficult to solve. We know that the primary source of new adult members is the Juvenile Department. Our records for years back show that over 60% of all members admitted into the Adult Department have been juvenile transfers. This is all well und good as far as it goes, but the important question is: How many of these juvenile transfers are really SNPJ conscious when they transfer? How many of them realize what the transfer and membership means? How many of them are SNPJ members at heart? No doubt, there are some who understand the fundamental aims and purpose, but the percentage is much too small. Our problem is to win the young people over to the Society in such a way that they will fall in line voluntarily—of their own free will and be glad of the opportunity. That is always the best way. We can help to achieve this aim by trying to conduct our lodge meetings, sociul and cultural affairs, sports and other activities in a manner so attractive to them that they will prefer to be with us rather than anywhere else. By setting good examples, by renewing the high standards of the Society, and by putting into effect a worthwhile program of work, fun und entertainment, we can do much to get the young people to take a deeper pride and a more sincere interest in the lodge to which they belong. While this is no short-cut to success, it will in the long run prove to be one of the best ways of reaching the youth and getting them to assume a share of the responsibility of fraternal service. We cannot successfully cope with or solve the youth problem without the cooperation and support of the young people. Only by working hand in hand with them can we hope to bridge a part of the gap which separates them from the older folks. To aid our lodges in the solution of this problem, it is suggested that they call the young people together in the respective communities, for the purpose of learning the basic reasons of their lack of spirit and interest in the affairs of the Society. It is generally agreed that while the war is in progress the conditions and opportunities are not favorable for the organization of strong English-Speaking Lodges, but what can be done in the meantime is to set up YOUTH COMMITTEES, composed of the more promising young people of the lodge, for the purpose of discussing their own problems In relationship to the Society, working them out, and formulating plans for the kind of activities they would like the lodge to sponsor. Through such committees much could be done to swing the young people into "line," and thus prepare and strengthen the possibilities for the organization of more successful E S. Lodges, or for the conversion of Slovene Lodges into English-Speaking branches, when the time is ripe for them. A YOUTH COMMITTEE could fill a vital place in helping the new and the transferred members 10 become better acquainted with one another and to more quickly adapt themselves to their proper place in the new fraternal environment. It could I also act as a source of influence j and encouragement to them to tw j voici- and mind in promoting th«-welfare of the lodge, where now they are Just a smoldering flame ' with neither spurk nor blaze to start i any real action. The. Juvenile members, like the | young adult members, present pretty much the same kind of problem ex-xpt that, in their case, any effort or capital expended in their behalf is naturally a longer term investment.

During the afternoon a concert was held at the Sloven«» Hall, where the Tamburitxa Club Male Chorus Slovan and Mixed Chorus Domovinn participated nn the program. Two short skids were presented In Slovenian, both of which were momentous. The clos ing of the program brought a color ful tableau presented by the Junior All Americans, Juvenile Circle 50 The girls were dressed in national costumes which made the prcsentu lion more attractive and colorful. In thevevening of the same day some of us made our way to the pro gram and dance presented by th« Jugoslav Seamen's Club. There, too we were happy to see a very good attendance. The proceeds from both affairs were for Jugoslav Relief and w. can agree the cause Is a good one. The Red Croas Drive by the Slovenes was successful and all those who helped in either contributing or soliciting ^unds are hereby thanked for their cooperation. The campaign tor the funds and clothing for Jugoslav Relief is still in full swing here in New York. Tho store at 005 Seneca Avenue, eornor World Events By Scott Neartng (Concluded) 1 lived through World War I. I guess I was a liberal when the war began—aatisfU>d to help scour the decks and improve the crew quarters on the ship of state. Moat of my friends and associates in the academic and professional world followed Woodrow Wilson, first because of the liberal protestations In his Ncfe freedom speeches of 11)12; then, in 1010, because he h«d kept us out of the war and, in 1917, because he had led us Into a war to end war, My friends emerged from that war in three groups: Group I. Hard-boiled conservatives, plugging for the vested interests. Group II. Disillusioned, embittered, tired liberals and radicals, New Republic devotees and Nation fans. Group III. A very few, like Lincoln Steffens, who had "seen the future" In the 8ovlet Union and who realized that there was no future for profit economy. World War II Is the old, old story —liberals and radicals Joining hands with conservatives and reactionaries to guarantee the Four Freedoms and usher In the Century of the Common Man, flret under the New Deal, then In the crusade of the Great Democracies to unite the peace*lov ing peoples and perpetuate profit economy and protect the Interests of the Friendly Empires.

Three years ago she Joined the Crusade; she felt sure that i4e was on the side of the angels; her verse oosed blood-lust and ven geanco on her demon enemies. The January 21, 1U45 magazine section of The New York Times carried long speech from her in verse 'To the Leaders of the Allied Military Nations." "Do you deceive us? Do you? Yes? No?" she demands in her first line. Then she cries out her anguish in paragraph after paru graph, "What do you plot?" "Cen-tic men, you go too far." "Your loyal Citizens and subjects doing our dl* tasteful chores." "We only want to hear you say again Some things you said la'fore And feel you mean them still, Just as we felt you meant them then." is midnight, April 18, 1945, which, allowing for mailing time, leaves you but a few days to line up the tht. gloV9ne peopk, Bung by tfu. remaining bowling prospects «na to ! choru-; u tup dunct, *p<.cjalty by send in the entries.

A« cen be gathered from consultations with varioua authorities permission will very likely be granted. The SNPJ cannot be compared to varioua other organizations which hold conventions annually, and besides the state law demands that fraternal organizations must hold conventions quadrennially Secretary warns that we must bp very careful regarding this matter because somAatates are not friendly towards foreign organizatfcns; it is nec-essary to observe the laws of the various states in which our Society has a chart«. Because of this it ia necessary that we continue with prepa rations for the convention which should be held as provided by the state laws and our by-laws application for permission should be filed with proper authorities. In case that permission is denied. all preparations can be canceled. He reads a letter he received from the state insurance department. Treasurer states that four-year term of the present supreme board members will expire on Dec. 31, 1945 which fact must be takgn into con-sidt ration and for this reason we pnnot think of postponing the convention which might cause difficulties. Each state has its own unlimited rights or laws which the federal government has no right to void; umong these laws are also the laws which regulute life insurance organizations, and only the states have the right to amend or suspend such laws; if the Illinois State legislature amends or suspends the law pertaining to the holding of conventions then we may postpone our conven i ton. Lotrich moves to approve the action of the ex-ecutivc committee, which should continue its work in connection with thc holding of the convention and apply for u permit. Motion is sec onded.

Lotrich moves that in case the application for thc holding of the convention is not approved the main office should immediately notify all supreme Ixiurd numbers by mail; the executive committee should immediately prepare necessary decisions in accordance with thc by-laws and submit same to tin» supreme board for approval. Motion ia seconded und unanimously carried. Ambrozich reports that it is the wish of the Evcleth lodges that the convention bo held in August instcud of September for thc reason that the school building has been rented for the convention. and in September school opens; besides, In September weather is often unfavorable; perhaps there will be some difficulties about meals, but the lodges will taka care of everything in the best way possible under existing conditions.

Olip states that it isn't advisable to conduct an other membership campaign because freauent campaigns kill the real purpose of such drives it is more important that a campaign be under taken to reawaken the English speakin« lodues or to launch a campaign among English speak, mg lodges during which the real object and aim of the SNPJ should be explained, that is, the pnn ciples on which this organization was founded* Vider, Kumer, Spiller and Grum voice their opin-ions. Recommendation unanimously approved Section 7-c: If the convention is held this year a conference of English speaking lodge represent' otives and Circle managers shall be held the dav before the convention. Kumer states that such a conference is very essential and desirable; it should be held annually because such conferences give encouragement to young members, and an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the entire system of the organization. Other organizations ore holding such conferences annually. Grum recommends that in the event a conference is held, convention delegates representing English speaking lodges and Circle managers be invited to attend; such a conference is necessary and beneficial as was shown by the first conference of English speaking lodges. Vratarich states that such a conference very likely would not be as successful as it is thouRht difficulties would arise not only because of transportation but also in regard to representation due to working conditions and the difficulty to obtain leave. f Olip states that in his opinion such a conference immediately prior to the convention would not be as successful as planned, because there is the possibility that it would discuss other matter« and not those scheduled in advance. Vider, Barbie, Malgal and > Petrovich express doubt as to the success of such a conference as outlined in the report, while Cainkar is in favor of such a conference. Motion receives 7 votes in favor, contrary 7; recommendation not approved. Section 8. In the event an English speaking lodge becomes so inactive that there is a threat it may merge with a Slovene speaking lodge, the executive committee shall immediately appoint a district vice president or some other responsible person to take the necessary action. Recommendation is unanimously approved. Olip moves that wording in section 16 of the by-laws be changed from "auditing committee" to "supervising committee"; both names are used at present but "supervising committee" is in complete accord with most of the contents of the section and answers the purpose and intent. Motion is seconded and unanimously carried. Kumer moves that the secretary of the sick benefit department shall together with the supreme medical director prepare special applications for soldier-members discharged from military service who wish to be readmitted to the sick benefit classes. Motion is seconded and unanimously carried. Barbie presents his complaint because his report to the last board meeting wasn't published: he claims that thc motion on the basis of which his report wasn't published was not duly carried because it failed to receive the required number of votes. Cainkar states that the motion was carried with the required majority of votes of the bourd members then present; it is the duty of each Ixiard member if he notices any irregularity or mistake in regard to voting on motions and the meeting in general, to call it to the attention of the members at once at the same meeting and not wait several months or submit the mutter to the board meeting a full half year later as being done by Bro. Barbie. Petrovich states that it is the duty of a Ixiard member when he sees thut the result of an election is incorrectly announced to call the president's attention and demund a re'eount. Kumer and Zarnick appeal to Barbie to withdraw his complaint and forget about tin- whole matter since it isn't important and this would I*-better for all; in thc future, however, everyone should pay close uttcntion to the voting and the results. Ambrqjrfch agrees with Kumer and Zarnick and states that cach board member deserves recognition. Muglich states that it is necessary to pay P"rtl* cular attention during voting and see that th< votes are correctly counted, so that each mob«* curried hus reully received the required number of votes.
