New York.—Dr. Stoj an Pribičevič, bivši reprezentant ameriškega tiska v Jugoslaviji in dopisnik za reviji Time in Lite, je poslal naslednje pismo uredniku lista Herald Tribune:
"Ker je bila obravhava proti generalu Mihajloviču v Belgra-du'zaključena, vam bom hvaležen, če boste zabeležili sledeča dejstva, ki so mi znana kot bivšemu ameriškemu vojnemu, dopisniku. Na podlagi sporazuma z vojnim departmentom sem bil tudi reprezentant vsega ameriškega tiska v Jugoslaviji v ozadju nemških linij 1. 1944.
Na 25. maja 1944 so nemški padalej divizije S. S, Brandenburg ujeli mene in Jcmpa Talbo-ta, reppezontanta britskega ti- . b

^Ujamejo maršale Tita in člane zavezniške vojaške misije. V ujetništvu sva videla oborožene četnike med Nemci. Ker govorim srbski ln nemški jezik, sem razumel vsa, kar so govorili. Gospod Talbot, ki je zdaj v Rimu, in jaz, ki a*ta v New Yorku, sva informirala jugoslovansko vojaško sodišče, da sva mu pripravljena predložiti evidenco. Sodišče ni sprejelo najine ponudbe.
Potrebno je, da ameriški ^ita-telj ve, da so četniki rešili nekaj ameriških letalcev, dočim so na drugi strani pomagali Nem-cep, da so nekatere ujeli. Či-tatelj mora tudi vedeti, da je Titov tribunal zavrnil ne samo anglo-smeriško pričevanje v prilog četnikom, temveč tudi an-, glo-ameriško pričevanje proti četnikom.
Zdi se, da je bil najvažnejši argument v prilog Mihajloviču. ds je rešil 400 do 500 ameriških letalcev Arhivi petnajstega ameriškega letalskega zbora v Belt"moru kažejo, da jd Tito re-611 okrog dva tisoč zavezniških

POROČILO IZ ZAPADNE METROPOLE
Pueblo, Colorado. — Dne 11. avg. bo priredilo društvo Orel SNPJ javni plea v prid blagajne. Kadar je priredba v korist blagajne, je upanje, da se člani zavedajo, da je društvena blagajna last vseh članov, ne samo par tistih, ki se udeležijo, in tudi ne samo odbornikov društva, kateri se trudijo, da se blagajna podpre. Torej vsi na ples v nedeljo, 11. avg., v Narodni dom! Igral bo orkester Joeva Pecheka ml. Pripeljite s seboj tudi svoje prijatelje in znance!
Dne 30. junija, dan naše fede-racijske seje, sva z enim izmed naših zastopnikov Frankom Smerajcem, zasedla "bus" in se srečno pripeljala v Walsenburg. Ker je bilo okoli poldan, sva se domislila, da bi bilo dobro, da se malo podpreva. Na najino veliko presenečenje ao bili vsi prostori za jedačo in pijačo ne samo zaklenejni, ampak zatrjeni a ključavnicami. Na vprašanje kaj to pomeni, je bilo pojasnjeno, da bo ta dan aamo voda gr-grala po grlih Walsenburcanov mesto piva. Po nekaj časa iskanja nama nekdo pove, kje je e-dini prostor, da dobiva jed, ker Walsenburg ni samo brez "pi-ra," ampak tudi brez mesa, koruza pa ni bila še zrela. Na žalost Franka tudi Um ni bilo piva. Ko sva se skupaj zalila a "kofetom," ava ae napotila proti Narodnem domu, kjer je bilo naznanjeno zborovanje kar "cu-fus", meneča da je Walsenburg majhen in tisto pot preletlva kar v eni minuti. Po kazanju naprej in naprej, po hoden ju po vročem solncu, ava prišla/do zaključka, da je Walsenburg večji kot se je nama zdelo. Niti na um nama ni prišlo, da 1-majo telefone, samo poklicati je bilo treba in poatrežljivl bratje bi bili prihiteli naproti. Tako ava pa bila za eno akušnjo bogatejša in pozabila vse neprili-ke, ko ava se znašla v krogu prijaznih znancev.
Seja je bila precej dobro ob-iakana, o katere poteku je pa že pisal Edward Tomalc. Naj omenim samo, da smo darovali Iz blagajne 100 dol. za bolnišnico v Slovenill, katere ao pridni bratje in aeatre tamošnjega društva SNPJ pridobili prejšnji večer s plesom v prid tega sklada. Brat Tomslc je Izročil tudi 5 dol., katere sta darovala v isti namen Mary in Joe Bubnlch. Brat Brgoch je priložil še svojih $5, John Llpich, tisti dan salu-nar brez piva, pa $5. Po seji so nam lepo postregli, samo zavrteti se pa nismo mogli kot je bilo namenjeno, ker je Imel harmonikar Frank Strovas roko do komolca v mavcu, katero se je stri večer poprej.
Dne 14. julija so pri nas gostovali slovanski tamburaši, dijaki in dijakinje z univerze Du quesne, Pittsburgh, Pa. Dobila ao Jih semkaj hrvatska društva in priredila vse potrebno za njihov nastop v tukajšnji dvorani Steel Y. M. C. A. Občinstvo je bilo zastopano od vseh Sloven cev, ki se zanimajo za Slovane in odersko umetnost. Prevladovali so Hrvati in Srbi, kateri so se udeležili v polnem številu.
Program je bil eden najsllko vitejših in bogatejših, kar smo Jih še imel priliko videti v Pueb lu. Najznamenitejša Je bila menjava prizorov. Vsakih par minut so se spremenili nastopi, kostumi in razsvetljava. Vsebina je bila prolzvajena v vseh slovanskih jezikih. Nam Sloven cem so podali: "Ko lani sem tam mimo šel", "Kje Je moj ml li dom", "En šušUr me Je vpra-šov" In našo polko. Presenetile so naa bogate narodne noše raz Učnih slovanskih narodnosti, nadvse umetno igranje posamez nth komadov narodnih plesov in pesmi, kar je občinstvo burno aplavdiralo.
Njihov vodja Mutt Gouze je proti koncu programa predstavil vseh 15 igralcev, označil njihove narodnosti in namen potovanja, kateri je zraven izobrazbe pomoč šolnini teh dijakov. Omenil je tudi med drugim, kako so pred leti na vseučiliščih vplivali na dijake, da naj vsak posameznik pozabi, da ao bili njegovi starši rojeni preko morja, zaveda se naj. da je samo Ameri kanec To se je vat spremeni lo. Na vseučiliščih se pri poro ča, naj dijaki držijo tradicije svojih narodnosti; posebno kar

stvo priliko razpravljati na konvencijah.
Sedaj pa nekaj besed glede naše mladine. Naša mladina je tu, da prevzame družtveno delo, kajti mi smo ie dozoreli. Skrajni čas je, da odpravimo čut in-feriornosti do mladine, kajti nova moč, nova kri mora prevzeti gospodarstvo v roke, zato moramo iskati sredstev in pota, da pridobimo mladino v naše vrste. Ce ni moja sugestija o našem domu na mestu in izborna, potem počakajte še deset let in bodo naši duhovi hodili nazaj k sejam in vladal bo molk.
Društvo Badgers 584 SNPJ je priporočalo podobno sugestijo o domu. Tam je angleško govoreča mladina in največje društvo. Da bi vzpodbudili staro članstvo, je treba vzpodbude in navdušenja od strani glavnega odbora.
Zdaj pa skončam s prošnjo do delegacije, da ukrene nekaj tudi za stare člane in ustanovi izredni sklad, iz katerega se bi plačevali prispevki za vse potrebne, in sicer tako, da bi potreben član vložil samo enkrat prošnjo, ne pa da bi moral vsak mesec prositi in klečeplaziti se okrog glavnega odbora. Želim, dri bi bila 13. redna konvencija v vseh ozirih uspešna in storila čim več v dobrobit vsega članstva. Anten Ermenc, 234.
ŠE NEKAJ PRIPOROČIL IN NASVETOV
Gross, Kans.—Oni dan sem srečal prijatelja, starega po letih in članski dobi, pa se je pritoževal, da mu ne kaže drugega sedaj na stara let kot opustiti zavarovanje bolniške podpore. "Vi§," pravi, "okrajne oblasti dele tisti košček starostne pokojnine, ki ne bi niti psu zadostoval za pošteno življenje. Vendar pa je le nekaj. Pa so izvohali iz Prosvete, ki priobča tedensko imena in vsote bolni-» ške podpore, da sem tudi jat prejel nekaj dolarjev podpore in hitro so mi dali vedeti, da ne bom deležen pokojnine za toliko časa, kot je znašala bolniška podpora. Torej, če sem preje! $40 bolniške podpore, starostna podpora pa znaša $20 mesečno (ali manj), ne bom dobil nobene pokojnine dva meseca. V resnici bom na boljem, če ukinem bolniško zavarovanje, ker bi mi ne bi bilo treba plačevati ases-menta v bolniški sklad. Prejeta podpora m« tako in tako nič ne koristi, ker mi prikrajšajo na pokojnini."
To ie samo en slučaj. Naj-brže okrajne oblasti postopajo enako z vsemi kansaškimi člani, ki so na pokojninski listi. Morda drugod tudi.
Tako, brat, ki je menda 40 let plačeval asesment jednoti in prejel morda le malo bolniške podpore, naj bi biUia večer svojega življenja, ko bi podporo najbolj potreboval, avtomatično prisiljen opustiti bolniško zavarovanje radi edinega razloga, ker Prosveta objavlja podatke o bolniški podpori. Kaj če bi na en ali drugi način ukinili pri-občevanje imen in vsot bolniške podpore? Vsaka stvar ima dobro in slabo stran, tako tudi tc priobčevanje imen v Prosveti.
Periodično, pred vsako konvencijo, so zahteve, "da »e kaj izdatnega ukrene za stare čla ne." Minimalno, da se plačuje za stare člane asesment, ne dx bi posegali v njihovo posmrtni no. Seveds, brez nič ni nič! Potrebno bi b'lo malo povišati asesment v ts namen. Glavno tajništvo nai bi pripravilo its ti^iko o številu člsnov in članic nsd 65 let ali nad 70, dalje koliko bi znaial njih asesment za en dolar dnevne bolniške podpore in $«00 smrtnine, v koliko bi bilo potrebno zvišati asesment da se dobi ts vsota. Nekaj bi lshko tudi utrpel sklad izrednih podpor, ker bi odpadle prošnje starih člsnov zs asesment. tako bi imels delegacijs Drihodnie konvencije iasen ns črt. ksj in ksko glede stsrih člsnov.
Vprsšanje. ds b< se gl. ured nika Prosvete "divorsalo" od glsvnees odbora nsj ne pride ored k^«venci io. ker gotjfv/^to nrlporočilo n' v korist Jsdnote Ce Je v resr.ici edini vzrok ds ne bi bil urednik samo zato člsn <1. odbora, ds bi se izognili v bodoč« homatijsm. ki so nastale
med gl. odborom in bivšim u rednikom radi smernic Prosvete, najbrie ne bi držal.
Recimo, da ne bi bil glavni urednik član gl. odbora ob času tistega nesporazuma, pač pa samb nastavljeni uradnik, kakor so drugi jednotini uradniki. Gotovo bi bil član unije in če se ne bi hotel prostovoljno umakniti iz službe, najbrže bi povzročil še več glavobola gl. odboru, predno bi mogel dokazati efek tivni, včasih tudi trmasti uniji vzroke za odpustitev iz službe. O povezanosti gl. urednika s Prosveto, Prosveta pa z jednoti, nam ni treba niti govoriti, ker je vsem znano, da sta jed-nota in list neločljiva.	f
Delegacija naj izbere mesto za 14. redno konvencijo kje v sredini članstva, da ne bo toliko stroškov z vožnjo. Dnevnice 13. konvencije naj bodo najmanj po $15 za prvih šest dni zborovanja, za vsak nadaljnji dan pa tri dolarje manj. Na primer, sedmi dan zborovanja $12, osmi $9 in tako naprej. Z dobro planirano konvencijo in razumnim zborovanjem, se lahko konča delo v enem tednu. Poskusite, pa bo šlo! Konvenčni sklad tako ne bo mogel vzdržati velikih stroškov.	John Shulsr.
KAKO NAJ ZNIŽAMO KONVENČNE STROŠKE
Detroit, Mich.—Čital sem razne dopise, priporočila in razpru-ve v Prosveti glede znižanja konvenčriih stroškov. Nekateri priporočajo znižanje delegacije, drugi skrajšanje konvenčnega zborovanja itd.
Bratje in .sestre, ako znižamo število delegatov, bodo s tem prav gotovo oropana manjša društva reprezentacije, ki jo imajo po sedanjih pravilih. Brat Korsic je pravilno zapisal, da bi velika društva vselej raje volila svoje kandidate kot kandidate manjših društev in to neglede na sposobnost kandidatov. Ako pa skrajšamo konvenčni čas, potem pa oropamo celokupno članstvo jednote na rešitvi mnogo važnih in nujne? potrebnih problemov, o katerih more delati zaključke in sklepe le konvencija.
Torej skrajšati čas zborovanja, je tudi skoraj nemogoče. Lahko pa bi prihranili na kon-venčnih stroških na drug način, namreč da bi se vršila prihodnja konvencija nekje v bližini geografičnega središča jednoti-nih društev. Rec'mo, da je to Cleveland, O. Cleveland sem postavil samo za primero, zato naj me ne bi čitatelji napačno razumeli*
Torej recimo, da je Cleveland povprečno središče društev SNPJ. Nadalje recimo, da stane vozni listek po železnici iz Cle-velanda v Ely, Minn., $20 v eno stran. Mislim, da faktično stane več, toda vzemimo to številko samo za podlago. Ako bi šlo 200 delegatov iz tega središča v Ely, Minn., bi zna*slo $4000, nadalje jim je treba plačati nadsljno dnevnico, ker vzame toliko čas? iz Clevelanda v Ely. Ako pa se ne plača dnevnice, se pa na drug način, kar znese priblilno enako vsoto. Recimo, ds je dnevnica $10 na dan, kar je malo, in dobimo nadaljnjih $2000. Torej $6000 v eno stran, v obe strani pa $12,000.
Sedaj pa vzemimo za primero, da b! se vršila konvencija v Clevclandu in b! moralo iti iz Elyja, Minn., deset delegatov ns konvencijo, kateri stroški zs posameznika bi bili isti kot iz Cle velanda.v Ely, a vozni stroški bi znašali z dnevnicami vred $600 Torej tukaj je tisti tako zagonetni problem, namreč ku ko znižati konvenčne stroške. V tem primeru bi jedruda prihranila nič manj kot 11.400 dolarjev.
Bratje in sestre, mi vemo, da so minnewotske slovenske naselbine doprinesle svoj delež ns kulturnem, društvenem ln poli tlčnem polju In klobuk doli njim ns čsst, ali to lih v*eerio ns po makne nič bližje središču Jedno-tinih društev. Torej Minnesota je isko len« deMs za ©"letne Počitnice. aH zs konvencijo n« ir isko neoHmeren krsi. Izdamo s f|parčne"s stsl'fc'i

PROSVETA
nesoto, sedaj moramo pa tudi stroške trpeti. Saj ni potrebno, da bi se vse konvencije vršile v Clevelahdu, saj je mnogo dru gih Slovenskih naselbin v štirth ali petih različnih državah, ki so bolj v srediiču jednotinih društev, pa se jih ignorira zato, ker je Minnesota jako lepa v poletnem času.
Priporočljivo bi bilo, da bi v bodoče delegati in delegatinje bolj pazili, kadar določajo kraj prihodnje konvencije in da upoštevajo pri tem finančne stroške. Bratski pozdrav vsem de legatom in delegatinjam 13. redne konvencije SNPJ in želim jim mnogo uspehi! Alberr Kirn predsednik SI8 SNPJ.
PRIPOROČILA DRUŠTVA 318 SNPJ
Bsggsley, Pa.—Članstvo društva 318 SNPJ je na svoji redni seji 14. julija razpravljalo o pravilih in priporoča sledeče:
Bolnike se naj bi obiskalo en krat na teden, kajti prijateljski obisk dobro vpliva na zdravje bolnika. Delegacija naj ne zviša asesmenta. Če se da kaj iz boljšati s sedanjimi prispevki, je hvalevredno, ako pa ne, naj ostane tako kot je. V primeru, da bi se kaj ukrenilo za stare in onemogle člane, potem naj povišek asesmenta v ta sklad ne presega 5c mesečno na člana.
Urednik Prosvete naj ostane še nadalje član glavnega odbora. Delegacija pa naj se zniža le v toliko, da ne bi moglo imeti nobeno društvo več kot dva delegata, kajti dva lahko toliko odpravita, kakor če bi jih bilo več. Veliko sitnosti bi lahko odpravili, ako bi pred vsako kon vencijo glavni odbor združeval društva v svrho zadostnega šte vila za izvolitev delegata.
Na koncu poudarjam iz izkušenj, da bi bilo znatno zvišanje asesmenta zelo neznželjivo, to-rei se tega ogibajmo, če je mogoče.

PRIPOROČILA DRUŠTEV 42 IN 834
Sheboygan, Wli.—Člani združenih društev št. 42 in 634 SNPJ smo na seji 7. julija razmotri-vall o pravilih in urno prišli do zaključka, da bi bilo potrebno spremeniti sledeče točke:
1,	Točka 36, stran 170. Dnev nik Prosveta se naj bi povečal za dve strani, in sicer v angleščini, tako da bi imeli priliko čl-tati dnevnik tudi tukaj rojeni člani in bi se naročili nanj, ako bi imel angleško prilogo.
2.	Točka 72, stran 201. V tej točki se naj Črta besedilo od šeste vrste naprej, ki se priče njo, da tajnik mora obvestiti predsednika bolniškega odseka itd. To b<fcedilo naj se vse črta in nadomesti z drugim, ki se naj bi glasilo: Nadscrovanje bolnikov Ima polno moč društveni odbor, da po svoji previdnosti pošilja bolniške obiskovalce. Ako se odboru vidi potrebno, jih pošlje, ako pa ne, jih pa ne pošlje.
Razlogi za to so sledeči: Ker je ta točka pravil velikokrat kršena, kajti le malokateri obiskovalec obiskuj« tako kot prsvila zahtevajo. Kaj naj naredi tajnik s takim obiskovalcem? Ali ga naj za kazen suspendira? To ne bi b'lo priporočljivo, druge kazni pa mu ne more tako in tako naložiti. ZaUirej Je boljše, da se take točke rrtajo iz pravil Kar se oa tiče bratstva, kot Je pred časom omenil naš glavni predsednik, se mi pa nikakor ne vidi. da je to res bratstvo, kajti obiskovalec pride v hišo kot po licsj In ne kot brst. 3 tem bi bilo ustreženo vsem! Tistim bolnikom, ki žele obiskovslce ae jih pošlje, drugim, ki Jih ne žele oz. nI potrebe, dn bi se Jih obiskovalo, se Jih pa ne pošlje. Bolniške nakszni<e bi ostale ta ke kot so sedal.

SKROMNX PROŠNJA
(Nadaljevanj« in konec)
Clsvsland. — Druga moja skromna prošnja je v zvezi t Slovenskim narodnim muzejem. Jaz mislim in upam, da smo povprečni ameriški Slovenci ie prerastll otroško dobo in da sedaj lahko nekaj ustvarimo brez strasti, brez predsodkov in brez verskega ali političnega fanatiz ma. ja ustanova je Slovenski narodni muzej v Clevelandu, ki zbira zgodovinski arhiv ameri ških Slovencev, ga urejuje in pripravlja za ogled vsakomur, ki se za slovenske stvari zanima. Zanimati bi se pa morali za to ustanovo vsi ameriški Slovenci, kot pismeni in kulturni ljudje, ki bi se radi udojstvo-vali že v vseh panogah ameriškega življenja.
Zanimivo je to, da se je že pri prvih društvih, ki so bila ustanovljena v Ameriki, izvolilo društvene zapisnikarje, ki so po svoji zmožnosti vodili zapisnike sej in rekordlrali razne zaključke, bodisi da so bili pametni ali ne, vsekakor so bili napravljeni z najboljšim namenom. Mnogo je bilo že društev in klubov, ene in druge vrste, ki so Živeli in tudi ie usahnili in tako bo tudi v bodočnosti. Taka razpu ščena društva in klubi so nekje pustili svoje sledove, zapisnike. V marsikaterem, pravzaprav v veČini slučajev nihče več ne ve, kje so. Šli so najbrže v peč, Če jih niso miši pojedli. Nihče ne ve zanje. AH ni to ironija? Žalostno je. da bolj biti ne more. Torej kolikor mogoče se je vestno pisalo zgodovino dela od meseca do meseca, Končno Je pa vse Izgubljeno. Pred leti nmeriški Slovenci še nismo imeli skupnega arhiva, oziroma pro štora za zbiranje zgodovinskega blaga. S«'daj ga imamo.
Slovenski narod v Ameriki še ne ceni dovolj zaslug, ki si jih je stekel naš brat Matija Pogorele v Duluthu, Minn., ko je že pred 45 leti začel zbirati na svojo pest zgodovinski arhi^ a-merišklh Slovencev, kateri ae sedaj nahaja v Slovenskem narodnem muzeju v Clevelandu. Nimate pojma, koliko in kaj vse je on ohranil, ko bi bilo drugače izgubljeno. Prav it tega razloga smo ustanovili v Clevelan du muzej, da se zbera zgodovinski arhiv skunaj na en prostor, kjer bo služ<l v*em zointeresi rančem enako.

Kdo drugi naj za nas zbira in hrani zgodovinski arhiv ameriških Slovencev, ako ne mi sami. Poglejte, kako važno bo čez 100 let vse, kar se sedaj godi in kar bomo ohranili našim potomcem. Zelo važni ao tudi programi priredb, dramakih, pevakih ln vari jetnlh. Glejte, kadar Jih daste v tisk, da bodo narejeni pravilni datumi ln letnica. Po vsem tu-kem nsa bodo nekoč sodili, na kakšnem višku kulture smo bili v 19. stoletju. Ako tsko blago ne bo zbrsno In ohranjeno, po tem bodoči rodovi ne bodo ve deli za nas. ne za naš« aktivno sti In prizadeven la.

Slovenska narodna podporna jednota je v prošlosti podprla izdatno že marsikatero plemenito akcijo, celo v takih krajih, kjer se ne bo nič nuzaj dobilo. Podprla je tudi naš Slovenski narodni muzej najbolj izdatno izmed vseh slovenskih podpornih organizacij v Ameriki, vendar ne tako kot tu naša domača ustanova potrebuje in zusluii. Slovenski hurodni muzej je naša ameriško-slovenska zgodovinska, znanstvena in kulturnu u stanova ln je odvisna od vseh ameriških Slovencev ln od vseh organizacij in društev. Slovenski narodni dom ni dolžan in ne more sam financirati te ustano ve. 'Muzej potrebuje vee zunanje pomoči kot jo je bil sedaj deležen. Če zmoremo pomagati drugim, dujmo pomagati tudi sumim sebi zu svoj ugled, za o hranitev lastne zgodovine; dajte muzeju tudi moralno podporo in pomagajte zbirati arhiv, ki leži raztresen vsepovsod! po vseh krojih zapuščen v podstrešjih hil, v kleteh in gorožah. Spoštujte naše slovenske knjige, revije in časopisje, katero morda vse ni najbolje, toda za zgodovino je važno.
Po naselbinah po vsej Ameriki se nahaja mnogo društvenih Nlik, podpornih ln kulturnih Dajte jih zbrati in poslotl v muzej. Kot sem že omenil, muzej potrebuje tudi moralne podpo re. Tukaj imamo obiskovalce Iz cele Amerike ln tudi izven, ko sl ogledojn muzej, ampak redek je, da bi napisal kakšno vrstico o njem. Vse molči kot ribe v vodi. All res nihče ne zapopa-de pomena ln važnosti te usta nove? Ali Je vse zanič, kar je bilo doslej narejeno, du nI vred no omembe?

Socialno zavarovanje in mi	J
V predkonvenčnih razpravah so že mnogi člani in društva priporočala liberaliziranje operacijskih podpor. Ta želja je razumljiva, kajti operacije, posebno težje operacije so draga stvar. Ra čun za težjo operacijo je navadno ali čestokrat precej večji kot pa znaša lestvica operacijskih podpor. To vedo posebno oni, ki s morajo iskati zdravja po bolnišnicah in na operacijskih mizah. V takih primerih čestokrat gredo stotaki. In draginja se pozna tud v bolnišnicah, pri zdravnikih, pri zdravilih! Zato je umevno, če mnogi člani in društva žele liberaliziranje operacijskih podpor
Najboljše bi bilo seveda tako zdravstveno zavarovanje, ki bi človeku na vsej črti dajalo prosto zdravljenje—-prostega zdravnika, prosto bolnišnico, proste operacije in zdravila. Ampak tega ne nudi noberta podporna organizacija, še manj pa privatni kišurenc (razen če plačujete dovolj veliko premijo), iz enostavnega razloga ker tega ne zmore—ker bi bil asesment previsok za navadnega ali pa tudi dobro plačanega delavca. Tako zdravstveno zavarovanje bi zamogla izvesti le država, toda le pod pogojem, da bi bilo tako zavarovanje obligatno za vse, ki so odvisni za svoj kruh od dela svojih rok.
Tako zdravstveno zavarovanje kot je zgoraj omenjeno bi dežela dobila, ako bi kongres sprejel tako zvani Wagner-Dingell-Mur-rayjev osnutek kot nov del zakona socialne zaščite. Pod tem osnutkom oziroma zakonom bi delavcem in njih družinam in sploh vsem drugim zavarovancem odpadle skrbi, kaj bo, ako pride bolezen. Vsakdo bi imel prostega zdravnika po svoji volji in želji. Vlada bi tudi gradila bolnišnice po mestih in po deželi. Izboljšana bi bila podpora vdovam z mladoletnimi otroki, prav tako slepcem. Osnutdc določa fe več drugih socialnih podpor. Za tako zavarovanje bi! delavec plačal štiri odstotke od svojega zaslužka in prav toliko njegov delodajalec—skupaj osem odstotkov mezdnih izplačil. To bi krilo tudi starostno zavarovanje, za katerega sedaj plačujemo en odstotek od zaslužka in prav toliko delodajalec.
, Senatni odsek, ki je zadnje todne pod vodstvom senatorja Pep-perja U Floride Vodil zaslišanje, je U Wagner-Dingell-Murrayjev osnutek (S. 1606) že odobril. Dasi ga podpira tudi administracija, ni nobenih izgledov, da bo prišel v razpravo v tem kongresu. Nasprotuje mu na vsej črti reakcionarna Ameriška zdravniška zveza in drugi torijskl interesi. Bo treba še dosti boja In pritiska na kongres s strani delavstva predno ta osnutek postane zakon.
To omenjamo tukaj vslcd tega, ker sc ta zakonski osnutek peča z istimi socialnimi problemi kot sc pečajo tudi naše predkonvenč-ne razprave v Prosveti glede operacijskih podpor, starih in onemoglih Članov in podobno. Da, tudi zdaj je bilo že precej, priporočil, naj prihodnja konvencija "stori nekaj za stare člane".
To je pri nas že stara pesem, ki se sliši pred vsako konvencijo. Toda še vsaka konvencija je spoznala, da je ta problem večji kot je jednota, ki ga sigurno ne more rešiti. Vse, kar bi mogli storiti, je ustanovitev sklada starostnih podpor, iz katerega bi stari in potrebni člani prejemali nekaj dolarjev na mesec. Ampak s tem bi le pokazali dobro voljo, si umill roke, toda problem bi ostal, kajti s par dolarji na mesec si človek ne more dosti pomagati—je komaj za tobak.
Tak sklad je imela bivša SSPZ, iz katerega je plačevala Upravi-, čencem po pet dolarjev na mesec. Toda vsakdo, ki je hotel preje-* mati to podporo, se je moral odpovedati pravici do bolniške pod pore. Torej je bila ta "rešitev" tega problema zelo dvomljive
vrednosti.
Naša jednotl ima za take in podobne potrebe sklad izrednih podpor, kar je bolj priporočljivo kot bi bili ukrepi dvomljive vred. nostl. Vprašanje starostne podpore, ki bi človeku nudila vsaj toll ko, da bi se lahko vsaj primerno preživljal ob zatonu svojega življenja, more rešiti le celokupna družba ali vlada, ne pa kakina posamezna organizacija z nekaj desettisoč aH pa tudi z milijon članov.
Slično je tudi, kar se tiče operacijskih podpor. Tudi v tem Imamo bogate izkušnje za seboj. Nekdaj je jednota res plačala za vsa ko operacijo določeni znesek; tudi lestvica teh podpor je bila bolj liberalna kot je zadnjih 15,16 let. Saj veste, kaj je bilo po wauke-ganski konvenciji, ko so bile operacijske podpore zvišane na sto dolarjev in vključene tudi vse manjše operacije. Operacijski sklad Je začel kopneti kot »neg ob kresu, da smo morali plačevati veliko dnklado—po dolarju in 50 centov na mesec, kot je le zadnjič pove dal gl. tajnik. In ker članstvo nI hotelo plačevati tako visokega asesmenta v »klad operacijske podpore, so bile operirane pa te podpore precej drastično.
O tem vprašanju se je izvršni odsek precej bavll že lani, kakor tudi glavni odbor. Na podlagi Izkušenj In sUnja tega aklada je pripravil glavni urad in glavni odbor potrdil toliko aprememb in Izboljšanja v področju operacijske podpore kolikor je mogoče pod sedanjimi vplačili In izplačili. Nekaj izboljšanja bo, toda ne dosti Končno besedo bo seveda imela konvencija.
Z drugo besedo: če hočemo dobro zdravstveno zavarovanje, ka kitnega vsebuje prej omenjeni zakonski načrt—kritje vseh sdrav mikih, operacijski in bolniških stroškov, kakor tudi boljšo oskrbo na sUra leta ali za slučaj totalne pohabljenoeti. tedaj moramo pri tiskati s drugimi delavci vred na kongres, da sprejme Wagner Dingell-Murrajev osnutek brez vsakega poslabšanja. Podoben zakon. toda precej boljši je nedavno sprejela tudi angleška delavska vlada. Pod ob nt) socialno zavarovanje Ima tudi Ruaija In več s manj tudi mnoge druge dežele Za čim popolnejše socialno tava-rovanje se bori tudi naša jednota skoraj od svojega postanka in boriti se moremo, dokler pa ne bomo* dosegli!

Pred časom sem sklenil, da moram skupaj zbrati $500 za otroško bolnišnico in sem jih. Ne samo $500, marveč $520. In to pršv ssm!
V	zadnji tedenski Prosveti u-rednik piše in ocenjuje našo kampanjo. Do sedaj smo jih dosegli že 615 naročnikov, toda urednik dostavlja, da bi lahko dosegli še več, če bi vsi sodelovali. V Zedinjenih državah, po vsej Ameriki, je še ogromno polje. Imamo na stotine slovenskih naselbin, toda v nekaterih še niso dobili nobenega novega naročnika. Urednik je omenil izmed teh naselbin samo e no, in sicer Waukegan, 111.
Urednikovo opozorilo je na pravem mestu. Mnogo naselbin je, ki niso v kampanjskem se znamu, vzlic temu, da imajo po več društev. Kjer pa so dru štva, tam so tudi člani in člani ce in če bi kdo vsaj malo po-agitiral, bi bilo gotovo nekaj uspeha.
Kar se tiče waukeganske na selbine, vem, da je Prosveta dobro rastirjena,. vendar pa sem prepričan, če bi llo nekaj pridnih agitatorjev na delo, bi pridobili le kakih 30 sli 40 novih naročnikov. No, če bi Jih bilo samo 25, bi bil le vedno uspeh. Torej naši dobri in napredni Waukegančani bodo gotovo storili svojo dolžnost.
V	mojem zadnjem poročilu sem omenil, da me je strah pred tistim "črnim konjem", ki je nekaj časa silno dirjal za menoj, potem se je pa malo odpočil, toda kakor mi je uredniltvo naznanilo, sedaj zopet dirja za menoj. No, le naj dirja, toda pustil ga ne bom naprej za nobeno ceno. Ej, dobro vem, da so tisti Klemenčiči močni in predrzni ter tudi dobri lovci. Saj poznam kaklen hrust je Tone, ki
No ja,
kar bo. bo! Ta teden sem pridobil sledeče:
Frank Ipavec (158), Anton Muha (196), Steve Sustarlc (53), Frank Potrebuješ (257), Frank Koshak (28), Rafael Krečič (Jugoslavija), John Fende (53). Naj omenim, da je oče Fende že precej časa bolan.
Torej v zadnjem tednu sem pridobil sedem naročnikov.
Anton Jankovlch.
žavni senator iz Minnesote, in bo povedal precej lastnih doživ-jajev med zadnjo svetovno vojno v Jugoslaviji.
Poleg tega bolj resnega programa bo tudi preskrbljeno za zabavo itd. West View Park je tako zvani zabavni (amusement) park. Listke za zabavo v parku dobite cenejše od odbora, dobite jih 24 Z* $1.00, in se priporoča, da jih kupite od odbora, ker s tem boste pomagali do boljšega uspeha. Za plesaželjne pa bo na razpolago orkester Martyja Kinga ves dan.
Končno opozarjamo vas vse, da prinesete s seboj lastno jed, ker odboru je letos nemogoče dobiti jestvine radi pomanjkanja mesa in kruha.
Torej na veselo svidenje v soboto, 3. avg., v West View Parku! Anton Rednak, tajnik.

Predkonvenčne razpravi
REPREZENTACIJA NAJ OSTANE KOT JEI
Walaenburg. Colo. — Pazljivo zasledujem razprave, nasvete, poročila in priporočila delegaciji 13. redne konvencije SNPJ.
Seveda, razprave se največ sučejo okrog bolniike podpore, operScij in odškodnin. Vaino vprašanje je reprezentacija na konvencijah. Ako vse skupaj dobro preštudiramo, pridemo nazadnje do zaključka, da je sistem reprezentacije, ki ga imamo sedaj, še najboljši in na< mestu. Nikdo ni Še do danes zapisal ali priporočal, ako izvolimo ongavega Janeza ali Toneta za delegata in da naj za boijo voljo molči, kima in sne vse, kar se mu servira. Tega še ni btlo nikjer priporočano, marveč povsod prosijo, pridite na sejo, da bomo delegatu dali navodila.
Nekateri tudi sugestirajo, da je potrebno modernizirati, ame-rikanizirati naše na konvencije. Seve, da'je dobro, da jih moderniziramo, toda vprašanje je na kakšen način.
Ali mislimo, da dokler bodo naši stari priseljenci iz Slovenije hodili na konvencije, naši stari bratje in sestre, ki so v svojih mladih letih delali in se žrtvovali dan za dnem, teden za tednom, leto fca letom za SNPJ, dovolili, da bi delegacija skupaj prišla tsff l spala dopoldne, popoldne imela parado po mestu, zvečer banket, na kate-tem bi bilo par govornikov, nato bi odbor za resolucije preČital nekaj resolu^J. nominacijski odbor bi pa poročal kdo so novi glavni odbornjki, nakar bi bilo vse soglasno sprejeto?
Ali mislimo^ da smo za take konvencije? foe, stokrat ne! SNPJ je na8s, Itonvehcije so ns še, reprezentacija Je tudi naša in mi vsi plačujemo zato, da smo reprezentirpni na konvencijah, pa naj si bo Peter; ali Pavel.
Mislim, da sem že nekoč zapi sal, da dober delegat stori vali ko več za SNPJ kot pa znašajo njegovi stroški na , konvenciji. Mnogi delegati se povrnejo domov s konvencije in potem še bolj navdušeno delujejo za orga nlzacijo ter store veliko napred nega dela.
Ako ne bi imeli v preteklosti dobrih delegatov, ne bi danes jednota štela, kar šteje, bodisi v finančnem oziru ali v splošnem nspredku za človeške pravice Konvencija in dobra delegacija je največ za vsem tem ii) seve da članstvo v splošnem. ' Torej ne plakajmo za nečem, ki Je vredno veliko več kot ps tistih par dolarjev, ki bi Jih manj porabili.
Naj povem, da tega nisem za pisal radi tega. da bi kdo mislil, da ga kritiziram, marveč v interesu naie organizacije v sploš nem. Ugladimh Ji boljšo pot In ta bo ugljajena od naše in vaše reprezentacije'
Edward Tomaic, distriktni podpredsednik SNPJ.

ODŠKODNINE ZA OPE-RACIJE SE NAJ ZVIŠA
Georgetown, IU.—Na seji dru štva 316 SNPJ, ki s« Je vršils 21. julijs, smo razpravljali | pravilih in sprejeli resolucijo, ds je potrebno, da delegacija 13. redne konvencije SNPJ zvl ša odškodnine za oparacjje. Da nes stanejo operacije velike vso te, zato je potrebno, da zvišamo odškodnine.
Drultvo 911 SNPJ.
NEKAJ PRIPOROČIL . IN NASVETOV
Bellaire. O. — Članstvo naše jednote se v tem konvenčnem letu precej zsnlma za Izboljša nje bodočih pravil, Uko da bo imel ocjbor za pravila dovolj sugestij na izbiro in koristna pri poročila upošteval. Naj tudi jsz izrazim nekaj svojih mnenj ■ korist članstva.
Kar se tiče bolniike podpore, priporočam, da bi pričeli plsče-vsti z drugim dnevom prijave pri zdravniku. Zdaj ni toliko slmulsclje, ker se precej dela povsod, pa tudi po v«člni zdravniki bolj pazijo na bolnike in Jih pošljejo na delo, kakor hitro so popolnoma zdravi. Večina članstva se nsmreč poškoduje na de lu v industrijah, kstere imsjo svoje zdrsvnike, kompanijski u-rad pa svoje driavne zdravnike in ti imajo večjo moč km ostali zdravniki, čeprav so tudi oni izkušeni v vseh ozirlh.
Glede bolniških obiskovalcev priporočam to!«: Društvo naj izvoli enega ali več Izkušenih in zanesljivih bolniških obiskovalcev, kateri naj oblAčejo bolnika enkrat na teden. Za eventual ne stroške naj povrne društvo. V slučaju preiskav« bolnika, naj jednota plača za vozne stroške in izgubo Časa. Kar se pa tiče plačevanje asesrnenta, naj ne bi prišli v poitev samo stari in onemogli člani, temveč tudi mMl, ki nlao za nobeno delo. Za krit |« stroftkov za Uk sklsd bi bilo potrebno procentualno zvišati prispevke v izredni sklad, Uko da bi zadostovalo za vse pri za dete Brez povišanja a seamen ta pa ne bi bilo mogoče pomagati nobenemu članu v večji meri kot Beda j.
O tem smo tudi razpravljali na aeji bridgeporUke federacije dne 21. julija Nekateri poročajo v Prosveti, d« stan In one-
mogli člsnl zato nočejo prositi za pomoč, ker se potem njihova imena objsvi v Prosveti. Toda, bratje In sestre, zakaj se bi sramovali daru, kateregs ssml prispevate? S tem, da so Imena in stroški objavljeni v Prosveti, je jasen dokaz, da se pri naši jed-noti vodijo računi Javno in tako članstvo ve, za kaj in v kateri namen se je izdalo in potrošilo denar.
Kar se tiče števila delegatov, naj se glasi v bodoče, da se vull enega delegsta na vsakih 200 članov. S tam bilo bolj uatre fteno majhnim društvom kot sedaj, ker bi imela priliko združiti se v svrho dosege 200 članov. Nobeno društvo pa naj ne bo upravičeno poslstl na konvencijo več kot dva delegata. S tem bi precej zniiall število delegatov ln prihranili v«Č tisočakov v konvenčnem skladu.
Dalje priporočam delegaciji 13. redne konvencij«, da bi u~ stanovila poseben bolnišnični sklad in članstvo naj bi bilo za vsrovano za stroške v bolnlšni ci. Tak sklad naj bi se uatano vil šele tedaj, če bi se zanj pri javilo dovolj članov, tako da bi se mogel ssmostojno zdrftevstl, kakor se zdrtujejo drugI jedno tlni skladi.
Urejevanje ln smernice Pro-svet« naj ostsn«jo take kot so, kajti sedsnje uredništvo z glav nlm urednikom na čelu vodi članstvo in jednoto v napredek, bratstvo in boljšo človeško drul bo. To so moja skromna prtpo ročlla delegaciji 13. redne kon vencije SNPJ.

Slovene Na?I Benefit Society
in 43rd Year of Fraternal Service-1904-1946
PROSVETA
ENGLISH SECTION
Twentieth Anniveriar» of SNPJ Englith Speaking Lodge Movtmm

For Membere of Slovene National Benefit Society and American Slovenes
The 13th SNPJ Convention
THE 1946 CONVENTION of the Slovene National Benefit
Society—the largest and strongest of all Slovene fraternal societies—will open on Monday, Aug. 12, in the High School Auditorium in Eveleth, Minnesota, the home of three SNPJ lodges, numbers 69,130 and 650.
• • *
This will be the thirteenth regular convention of the Society, which was originally scheduled to take place a year ago but which was postponed because of wartime transportation restrictions. Strictly speaking, then, although a year late, this nevertheless will be a quadrennial convention in spite of the fact that a five-year period will have elapsed in September instead of the four-year period required by law.
•	e •
The convention body—delegates and supreme board members —will number 300 members—269 delegates and 31 executives— who will take the responsibility of acting for the entire membership of nearly 67,000, adult and juvenile departments combined.
•	• e
It is interesting to know that of the total of 269 delegates at the 1946 convention, there will be a total of 41 delegates representing our English speaking -lodges directly, plus several delegates from the yunger generation who will represent the Slovene speaking lodges. At any rate, it is safe to say that of the total of 269, approximately 50 delegates will represent the younger generation directly or indirectly.
* * *
THE MINNESOTA FEDERATION of affiliated SNPJ lodges
will act in the capacity of official host to the delegates and supreme board members and friends, with the three local Eveleth SNPJ lodges doing the lion's share of the work connected with the conclave.
' e * •
Elaborate preparations have been under way by the local convention committees, and a number of programs and evening activities has been arranged for the entertainment of the convention throng.
•	• •
Foremost in the list of things to be done at the convention will no doubt come the following problems: Insurance—sick benefit, disability and old members. Investments—how to invest the organization's funds In future. Juvenile members—how to attract youth into our organisation through increased circle activity.	#
Principles—the policy of its publications. These and many other exigencies will come up before the delegates.
* * *
LET US HOPE TflfAT EVERY delegate and supreme board
member is fully aware of the importance of the manifold convention problems and of the all-important role each one will play at the thirteenth convention.
e • *
What is needod most at the convention is—cool, calm, levelheaded and hearty cooperation for constructive ends which will
be advantageous to the organization and its membership.
• • •
We greet the representatives of our old and new generations - who will assemble at the 13th convention, with high hopes that they will follow the safe path of the SNPJ pioneers who built the foundation and laid the cornerstone of this strong structure
of ours that in the Slovene National Benefit Society.
• • ♦
We hope that our young men and women, gathered at the convention, will again prove to be worthy sons and daughters of the hurd-working immigrants, poor in material riches but rich in experience from their long struggle for the right to live
a more abundant life.
Forward, Loyal it es!
CLEVELAND. — Another huge success was chalked up by the
Loyalites. Yes. meaning that our July 4 Field Day was just like the good old times if not even better. To all of our friends from out-of-town who came to see us and our neighboring friends we say thanks for helping us, and may we be able to return the visit in the near future.
We had nice weather and Lenny Paul with his orchestra marked up a big victory as he jammed in the dance hall and he really kept it packed from start to finis. Lenny is becoming fast a very popular maestro and we're telling you that you'll be hear wg mere and more of Lenny and his orchestra: he's headed right up to all those top-knotch bands of ours, namely, Yankic and Pecon and Trebar and the rest.

By J. P. Fifolt Coneen t ion CLEVELAND. OHIO —The meeting of the Cleveland delegates to the convention, Called by the Cleveland Federation, was s step in the right direction. Question of transportation, etc., on the minds of the delegates was discussed and clarified. Representative from the railroad was on hand to explain just what could be don«'.
We talked in generalities about the election of officers, salaries, per diem of delegates, possible alteration to the Home Office or a new building: supporting Detroit as first choice for the next convention, possibility of a pension plan for faithful and long time member^ of the organization, more forceful agitation to convince members to switch over to the American Experience Plan of insurance, pro and con discussion on editorial policy of the Prosveta, whether the editor should be elected at the convention or chosen by the supreme board and certain changes to the by-laws beneficial to the organization.
All the above items were discussed for and against with the sole purpose in mind of acquainting the delegates of the facts and attempts to avoid needless discussion at the convention, saving time and money. Final vote on the subject matters to be the sole decision of the delegates or as instructed by the lodge. The meeting was worthwhile and everyone left sstisfied that they gained considerable knowledge. Pioneer Picnic, Aug. 3 According to Jbhnny Rak the Pioneers are headed for one of their largest picnics ever held. The writer needs the car they are giving away. Frances promised, if my number was called, that she would dfellver the car In person. Get ready for the trip, Frances!
Headquarters Sylvia Homez' article last week regarding the Home Office building, is of the type, that shoulld have been Written sometime ago. It is good to see members epress themselves. If more members took it upon themselves to comment on questions of this nature, and that includes the executive committee and the rest of tifrj supreme board members as weljfj the contents of the Prosveta would be improved great deal.
The question of new headquarters fbr. the SNPJ will no doubt come up at the convention. The sub-ect matter is one that will involve the expenditure of around $300,000; that could be debated pro and con for the whole convention week. A new office building is not required solely because of Improper beating, improper ventilation, poor lighting, not enough space, etc.. but in the main because the SNPJ has "growing pains" and as such embodies reasons above stated plus many others. The organization is growing, we expect it to continue to grow, thru gains in members by drives as well as possible mergers with other fraternal groups.
It would be well for the executive committer at the convention to give forth their ideas as to why a new building is needed. After a short discussloh. It is my opinion thst the convention should go on record that they favor "in principle" the idea of a new office building and that the matter be turned over to the supreme board for deliberation and working out of the finer details. Conditions as we have to-dsy are going to continue, not for one year but possibly two or three years. This interypl of time should give the board members an opportunity to develop eoncrete plans for presentation to the dsleflutes at the next convention to be held in 1950.
In the meantime, by using the SNPJ Hall as suggested by Sis Homez and others tn the past, purchase of fire-proof filea which expense will not be wasted, possibility of the elimination of the printery, If It is found that the work can be done outside st a lower cost, which would provide additional space, should en able the Home Office to hobble along for the time being. The situation is not so desperate that s new building must be provided overnight.
Our Circle Group Ann Sennemanfc's article last week expresses the ideas and thoughts of many. The problem of increasing the number of circles, securing of capable Circle managers, ete.. Is s tough nut to creek. Time certainly would not be wasted at the convention in thoroughly discussing this subject It should fit in with the first pert of the theme of the convention "growth" of the organisation This will cover circles, juvenile members, sports activity, membership drives, interest at lnd«e meetings etc
The second part of thf theme shouM desl with aid and hetp for the ploneen who thus for have carried the organisation forward snd comprise discussions on Old Agi Hon mi as suggested by the Pioneer lodge in Chicago pension plans for memliers increased help from the benefit fund, etc
Chicago's S. N. P. J. Pioneers Welcome Veterans Home H
Big Celebration at Pilsen Park to Feature Frank Yankovich's pand; 1946 Ford Sedan to be Given Away; Special Treats for Children; Many Out-of-Towners Expected Among an Anticipated Record Attedance
CHICAGO.—A determined committee has worked efficiently and consistently during the past six months, to arouse interest in the Pioneer Homecoming Celebration of Saturday, August 3, and iB about to reap a bountiful harvest. #
The committee got an early start, It had plenty of time therefore to delve into every angle and to polish every rough spot for the successful completion of its plans. This Saturday night, August 3rd, 1946, Pilsen Park, will be the gathering place of record crowd and mask another chapter in the dynamic history of the Pioneers.
We're going to.. celebrate the homecoming of some one hundred and thirty-seven Pioneers who went off to Uncle Sam's training camps to share in the duties of arined
cause many people will be there to greet these many fine, young men and women and because we are going to have any number of good treats. The biggest attraction at the Homecoming will be the Gls and veterans themselves. The next attraction in line will be the awarding of a new 1946 black two-door Ford sedan to some lucky person. For months Pioneers have been selling subscriptions for this purpose. We got the wholehearted backing
Frank Yankovich's Orchestra of Cleveland, Ohio
combat for their country. From 1941 to 1945 we held numerous farewell parties. We didn't like them because we didn't know whether the principals would come back at all. The years 1941 to 1945 were struggling years for those of us who stayed at home. But we worked hard and carried on as best we could and our organizations survived. Then our boys and girls began to come home. Now they are at home, so we have the big Homecoming Celebration planned in their honor.
Most of uk fail to realize what an important part we play in this world. Yes. few actually realize what such units as the Pioneers really amount to iri our community life. When our active folks were away, everything began to get stagnant, we just couldn't gqf any steam up to make things go around. Yet, we carried on. Today, they recognise us as an able unit and that recognition is given us becauso of the part each and everyone of our Gls snd veterans have played in the past six years. And that is the reason wc have this Homecoming Celebration, to honor every Individual who participated in the emergency.
It's going to be a gala affair be-
of all our members. Else, we couldn't spend one thousand seventy dollars for a new Ford just to give it away.
This scruad of workers was led by Frank Lotrich who went at the job with full vigor, and completed thirty-three books. John Simon and Joe Cerkoney are next in line with fourteen each, and Mary E. Novak of the Victorians came through with twelve. In addition to these, there must have been at least two hundred other loyal Pioneers who disposed of at least one book, or more. The wide distribution of these tickets gives us assurance that the attedance will be large and that the Homecoming will be a complete success.
The Pioneers have always catered
to the children. During all these many years wc have held Prize and Juvenile picnics where we devoted large sections of the affair to the children and where we gave them gifts and novelties. The Homecoming is a combination picnic and celebration and here too we invite the children to be our guests and to participate in the games and contests. The first three hundred children entering the park will receive

suitable gifts. Then, we will have special sandwiches for children, the kind they like an<l cream. Anne, Sannemann will k. charge of this department
It isn't necessary to stress t J much that our women folk alwa* prepare good meals at all of thn affairs and that the Pioneers hav catered to our many fnends wh enjoy eating a good meal out L» year it was chicken. This year will be steaks and roast beef froi a steer especially butchered for t to guarantee freshness. Pilsen Pai has a restaurant which can a< comodate a large number of peop and as Johnny Rak, Chairman < the Committee, would say, "Y( ladies shouldn't Tubs around th kitchen stove and dirty dishes whe you can get a good neal out at nominal price; a meal that is pri pared just as if you would cook yourself, and Mary Andres who hi charge of this department has good reputation for that."
No less of a treat will be had b the dancers and music lovers, fo the Pioneers went to considerabi expense to get Frank Yankovic and his orchestra from Clevelan, Ohio, for the Homecoming. Th band has an excellent reputatw They play the kind of music th, stirs something in people and mak< them want to get into ecstet moments. How good they really ai is best attested by the fau that Um have made recordings for the C< lumbia Recording Company, an that the records released have bee picked up faster than they can t supplied. We have every confident in this brilliant musician and h band, and we believe that he wi completely satisfy everyone wh likes to dance and everyone wh likes to listen to good music. Whi polkas are his favorites, he know how to play waltzes too. Remerc ber, Yankovich is coming to Chici go especially for the Pioneer Homt coming Celebration, and we ar getting him here because we war to give our patrons the best dish c music available.
Another thing. The Pioneer« a putting out a program book agas We don't do that very often. Thi is. we don't publish a program boo every year. But, wc can point wit pride to our program books of th past. They have been differen especially the tenth anniveriar book. Even our businessmen t whom we have to go for ads an who in the last analysis areth backbone of any program booto recognize this. They have bw exceedingly good to us this t* again. This Homecoming progr« book will cost us a lot of monej First, because printing costs « higher and secondly because " have spent a nice sum of moiwy» make cuts of a substantial sis* of our Gls and veteran, which-printed in this book.

RECENTLY, several important jlungs have happened, one of them being of vital concern to all Slovenes lod Jugoslavs.
The Trieste issue, according to »ports, has finally been "settled" the Big Four in Paris. This "settlement" places Trieste and its immediate region under an inter-sational control. As far as the Slovenes and Jugo-jlivs are concerned, a great induce has been done by this agreement.
Once more the Slovenes are lobbed of Trieste and Gorica, two duly important Slovene cities. Slovenia is again shorn of its lands. Jugoslavia cannot and must not jtcognize this sellout! The only just solution would be make the port of Trieste international, but the city itself must included in Jugoslavia!
IN PARIS, at this moment, the Big Four are meeting with repre-entatives of 17 other allied nation j.
The purpose is to approve the treaties made by the Big Four ear iter and to suggest changes. These treaties concern the defeated enemy countries of Italy, Bulgaria, Romu lina. Hungary and Finland. Of course, no one knows what fhanges will be suggested and approved. but it is certain that the [oslav representatives, headed by Idvard Kardelj, vice-premier of Jugoslavia, will have a lot to say Ifcout the Trieste situation. I venture to say that if the Big Tour "settlement" of the Trieste p is forced for acceptance, there »ill be no peace in Europe. This till be another Danzig.
The Slovenes want to live! They entitled to their own soil, fcnte is on their soil! So is Go-and also Celovec up in Carin

World peace depends on a just action of these issues.

8ummer Activities of Circle 84, "Jolly Juvenile*"
WAUKEGAN. ILL—On July 7, the teen-age members of Jolly Juvenile Circle 24 went to Rivervlew park in Chicago. The group met at Edison Court station where we got the 6 p. m. train and arrived at Riverview about 7.30 p. m. We immediately started right in on the rides, but this writer discovered she couldn't take it very well. Too rugged!
Everyone tried the "Silver Flash" ride, which is similar to the roller coaster, although the boys liked the roller coasters the best for they kept going back for inore. The parachutes looked like loads of fun, and the group took turns going on as only 2 people are allowed at a time. I tried my luck on a miniature bowling alley, but finally gave it up as a bad job after two attempts We kept traveling around in small groups until it was time to go home. It was a lot of fun for all as it was a first visit to Riverview for most of the members.

Under the hesding "Contends that Trieste Belongs to the Slovenes," the Vindicator, the only daily paper in Youngstown. Ohio, a city of 180,-000, recently published the following letter written by Frank Rezek on the Trieste problem. Bro. Rezek is an active member of SNPJ lodge 842 of Olrard. Ohio, manager of Circle 7. and a well-known contributor to this aaction of Prosyeta. His letter reads ss follows: Editor of the Vindicator. Sir:
I am far from the land of my an-ceators but I am interested in justice and world ponce. A miscarriage of justice anywhere in the neighborhood of nations means an increase in the boiling point In the pot of militarism.
Trieste and its hinterland are on Slovene soil and they have never been Italian cccpt since after the first World War. when it was given to Italy as a prize for her perttcipa t ion in the war on the aide of the Allies, after she deserted her form er allies. Germany and Austria. As fgr as I recall, The Vindicator. In Its biased editorials, has never pub-liclsed that fact
The people In Trieste and ita hinterland are not so much Italian as they are Italian speaking! Under Italian rule. Slovenes were compelled to change the names of their streets; the names on tombstones were Italianized. family names were changed; text books and teachers wore Italianised A man seeking employment was ignored if he failed to spook Italian Yes, the census takers might consider thrm Italian but In their heerta they are still Sloven«-« The change was necceei-tated by Italian law and not by the Slovene heart! Slovene culture was cruelty and Intentionally eliminated, This. then, is the country, an enemy of the Allies In this post war. whteh England and the United States are supporting for the reten tie« of pillared property!
The Slovetu people sre not re questing any foreign land. They are merely aaktna that land be returned to the mother country.

News of Young American Lodge
DETROIT. MICH—Some time ago we wrote that theToung Americans had sent a check for 8180 to SANC. This waa an error as our check was distinctly meant to go toward the building of Children's Hospital in Slovenia. Since then we are pleased to report that Donald Nagel had donated an additional $10 for this same purpose. He lave this on his recent birthday. We thank you sincerely. Don.
The Y. A. ball team is traveling to Chicago this weekend. We know they'll have a good time, and hope the Pioneers can pay us a return visit.
The latest Y. A. to enter the armed 'orces is Eddie Prim. We haven't his address but as soon as we get it we'll pass it on to you. To Eddie we wish a lot of luck and hope you're back with us soon.
Rosemary Mam and Leon Host-nik have announced their engagement. We remember Leon saying he'd stay a bachelor (we knew different). Leon had been in the army for nearly five years. Lots of luck to both of you. Congratulations are in order also for Angeline Ternecki (Mam), who is a mother of a bouncing baby boy.
Ann and John Ruzich recently spent a few days at Niagara Falls and Buffalo. It is an annual event for the couple.
At a representative meeting of the SND held on July 28, it was decided to hold a special stockholders' meeting for the purpose of electing a building committee, and to also complete definite plans as to type of home we contemplate building as soon as conditions permit. We urge all stockholders to be present when that meeting takes place. It is of utmost importance that we all be present.
After the last meeting of the Spirits of Detroit Juvenile Circle they held a short but very interesting program which was rather well attended. The juveniles did a nice job of it and deserve a lot of credit. We're still honing more of them come around. How about you bringing your Children to the next meeting which is on Friday, Aug. 2, at the SND. The time is 7:30 p. m„ and remember all SNPJ juveniles are welcome.
With the starting of the 13th regular convention of the SNPJ only a matter of days we again make a plea to all delegates to vote for Detroit for the next convention city.
We read with interest the article by Jane Fradcl in last week's issue of Prosveta and we're entirely at odds with her suggestion. With the exception of myself (having spent 3Vx years in service), I believe the other district vice-presidents did much more for the organization than sny one field organizer could possibly have done. Then too, it afforded our English, speaking lodges to have a greater amount of representation on the Supreme Board. Along with our lodges being much better informed, the reports handed
