With the arrival OF some
snow and the wind howling out
side your door, I believe you
don't feel like going places but
how about letting me change
your mind about staying at
home and dropping in at the
SWH on Waterloo Rd., where
"Zdruzeni Bratje" will hold
their annual dance? They have
secured nobody else but "The
Vadnals" to dish out all the
latest hit tunes as we'll as our
own Slovene polkas =. Could
it be a real romance or only
good friendship between Helen
Srnik and Johnny Vadnal
How about explaining to the
public, Johnny, or is it a mill
tary secret? The dance at
E. 64th was a huge success and
we spied a number of young
folks enjoying themselves to
their hearts content =. The
"Tots" seemed to be enjoying
themselves even though they
were on the job for some good
news .. Poor Dotty Young,
she's getting quite disgusted for
her friends are always asking
her so many questions about a
certain young male that she
feels they'll put here to her
grave very soon if they keep it
up That's pretty bad, isn't
it, folks? -. Gee, you know
what. I finally found out who
$40" Tercek's young admirer is.
It's about time, l believe, for
it took me, we'll to be exact,
one whole blessed week. He's a
very nice fellow, honestly,
folks Noticed that a GER
tain young Miss was worried if
Milan Modec and Bob Kastelic
dropped off Dorothy Collie, and
her g. f. at 65th on Thanksgiv-
ing day >. Wonder what's been
keeping Mickey Cesen from our
Slovenian affairs. It couldn't be
National Defense or could it,
Mickey? Happy birthday
wishes are extended to Valeria
Fortuna and Frances Maurich
who will both observe their
birthdays this coming week.
Many happy returns of the
day, girls Tears reached
the eyes of many young people
last Saturday when Johnny Pc
con announced that he was leav-
ing Monday morning for the
U. S. Navy. Loads of luck and
smooth sailing, Johnny
Since Olga claims that this ar
ticle is not complete without

complete :. Goodbye, but we
hope to see many new as we'll

FIRE

Housewives, do you keep oily
rags and mops in a closet where
spontaneous ignition may cause
a serious fire? The Greater
Cleveland Safety Council says
oily mops and rags should be
kept either in the open air, or
in a tightly covered metal con-
tainer. It will pay you to re-
member that!

Soldier Writes

The lettersbelow was received
by Zarja just before our 25th
annual Thanksgiving Day Con-
cert. Through this letter we
doubly realize that our boys
and your boys in the service are
clinging to the hope that we
at home shall keep alive our bit
of cultural activities which to
them mean the return to peace
and security.
Truly, it is a difficult task
for all of us. to keep planning
for an uncertain future but we
owe it NOT only to ourselves to
keep alive the finer things in
life which have been so, labori-
ously brought down to us year
after year since the beginning
of time. ...-. =
No matter what, we must
keep on. And we shall and did
as was proven at our concert
on Thanksgiving Day.
Congratulations to our sing.
ers for sticking to the job and
thanks to our patrons for at.
tending our performance.

Librory News

In town Will Dc SHOWN at the
Norwood Library Auditorium
next Thursday evening, Decem-
Der 10th at s o'clock. The sub
ject Of the movie is conduct
during an AFRAID, and the.
guest speakers will1be Mr.. Vic
tor Svete, Air-Raid Warden,
and Mr.. Gustav Hofvenstein,
Zone Commander.
There can be no doubt in the
mind Of any adult aware of the
perils to civilians, in these
times of total war, that it is an
obligation for everyone to be
intelligent and informed about
air-raids. We all know that air
raids on Germany and Japan
are as close to our bombets'
reach as we arc to theirs. There
is less cause to fear if we are
prepared.
Anyone who still dares to
doubt that it is necessary to
know something about today's
war on civilian population,
needs only to read the daily
papers. One of the most realis-
tic books lately written on the
subject, t'The Land Of the 81
lent People" by Robert ST. John
is also required reading. The
"Silent People" of Europe: Slo-
venes, Croats, Serbs, Greeks,
all were not prepared for air
raids. They had no opportunity
to prepare, they had no warn
ings, no means of self-defense,
no possibilities of even self
protection. +.
The civilians of the United
States are more fortunate than
any other people on the face Of
the war-torn world. They have
| not yet suffered attacks, they
are being protected and widely
instructed and equipped to pro.
tect themselves. r.
All those who have taken OF
are taking courses in first-aid
or afraid will want to come
next Thursday evening. Every.
one who has only little or nc
knowledge Of the material o1
these courses will find the eve
ning's demonstration Of great
| value. f.Esa
You are invited. Bring your
neighbors and yours friends
Remember the time, December
10th at 8 p. m. Come to see ar
excellent movie and to hear two
experts, your own zone com
mander, Mr.. Hofvenstein, ane
your AFRAID warden, Mr.. Sve
te. They will be prepared tt
answer your questions on tn.

In the "key" game of the early basketball season in the Parochial league, defending champion SS.

 Synott Got 8
 In the overtime, the Lithuanian schoolboys, were held without a point, as the Peter and Paul club got three more and the ball game. Synott's shooting paced the winners, as four free throws and two field goals gave him 8 points, more than half his teams total.
