A chance to get something
free has a special appeal in
these days of high prices. Well,
safety is something that's free,
and everyone can have it! The
only obligation is a little extra

your country. The Greater Gle

everyone-at home, at work or

manpower for warpower.

on accidents in the hunting sea-

these safe hunting tips: If
hunting with someone else,
walk side by side whenever pos
sible. If you must walk single
file, the man in front should
carry his gun pointing forward
in the crook Of his arm. The
man behind should carry his
gun, pointing back, over his
shoulder. Don't let your hunt.

You may be thrown from your

The ,25th Anniversary Of Yugoslov Notionol
Unity
Unity

fusion and hatred among the
Yugoslav people, We disown
them. We do not want to have
anything to do with the Fas-
cists who are trying to destroy
human liberty for individuals
as well as nations. Their aim
is reactionary in the sense that
they try to bring back the old
form of oppression, domination,
and tyranny, which our ances-
tors toiled so hard to eliminate.
Characters of the type de-
scribed above should not only
be ignored, but should also be
weeded out by those who have
learned to work in harmony and
fairness with their fellow men.
Experience teaches us that
treachery and injustice must
die, and that love for mankind
alone eludes mortality.
Historical movements take a
long time to germinate, to de-
velop, and to grow to maturity.
It took the Yugoslavs, down.
trodden and underdog, here and
at home many years to awaken
and to gather sufficient
strength to assert daringly
their ancestors rights; and
when they did marshall their
strength and courage, they
used it with such precision and
quick action that they sur
prised even their former mas
ters who believed in the divine
right of kings and the right to
oppress their fellow men; and
whose lust and desires are:
'covet and get, honor nobody
but yourself; after me the
deluge."
The ideals for which the Yu-
goslav Army of Liberation
fights coincide with those of
other champions of liberty and
independence, of Jesus, John
Ball, George Fox, John Hus,
Mazzini, Spinoza, Tolstoj, JEFF
ferson, the immortal Abraham
Lincoln, Woodrow Wills on,
President Roosevelt, Vice-Presi-
dent Wallace, Wendell Willkie,
and others, all fighting for the
cause of humanity, for the
cause of all mankind. Out of
this consistent fight for liberty
will intimately come the tri-
umphant fulfillment of the
common mans aspirations
aspirations of extricating him
self from slavery and future
wars, who will then be given
equal opportunity, without fa-
voritism or partiality, to enjoy
the fruits of the earth and the
freedom of a beautiful, healthy
and happy life.
For the Publicity Committee !:

will celebrate the 25th ami
versary of Yugoslav National
Unity on Sunday, December 5,
1943, at 2::30 p. M, in Pilsen
Park Pavilion, 3049 w. 26th
Street.
In the past it has been the
custom to invite the Royal Yu-
goslav Ambassador at Wash
ington, D. c., as the principal
speaker on that day to repre-
sent His Majesty, the King of
Yugoslavia at Belgrade. On ac-
count of political conditions
prevailing now, in Yugoslavia
and in order to preserve har-
mony among the Serbs, Croats
and Slovenes in America, this
custom had to be abandoned
this year. In his place the prin-
cipal speakers will be men of
the people, such as Louis Ada
mic, a famous writer and presi-
dent of the United Committee
of South-Slavic Americans,
Zlatko Balokovich, a we'll
known violinist, president of
the American Croatian Con-
gress, and vice-president of the
United Committee of South
Slavic Americans, and Zarko
Bunchich, a prominent Ohio at
torney, Mayor of Kent City,
Ohio, and vice-president of the
United Committee of South
Slavic Americans.
| What caused the Yugoslavs
of Chicago to change the Gus
tom of inviting the Yugoslav
ambassador in Washington as
a speaker at their annual re-
union? The reason is the same
that caused the oppressed peo-
pie of Yugoslavia to form a
Peoples Committee at Bikhach
under the leadership of the
president, DR.. Ivan Ribar. Ger.
tain sinister figures in the Bel
grade government who, like Mr.
Fotich, exploit the common
people, have engaged in propa.
ganda for the creation of q
Greater Serbia" at the expense
of Croats and Slovenes, using
for this activity the money
which belongs to the Yugoslay
people as a whole. Persons en-.
gagged in such activities of sa'
boteurs must be considered, ir
diplomatic language, as "per'
sonae non gratae" (not accep.
table,. That is the reason why
Mr.. Fotich's name was stricken
from the list of speakers.
At the time of the decision tt
drop Ambassador F o tt c h's
name from our program there
were certain people who OBJ
jected. They said that this
would amount to an act of trea
son. They also maintained that
if we had no official spokes
man from the Embassy, the 10
cal and state officials who were
to be invited would act un
favorably upon our invitation
The best proof of our just view
and of the existing sympath!
for liberty-loving peoples il
that our own Mayor Kelly ant
Governor Green have accepted
the invitation to speak at oul
meeting. To the first objection
we are answering in the word
of Patrick Henry who, in 177|
in the House of Burgesses, said
IF this be treason, make tn
most of it, And to the secon.
objection, we are replying il
the words of Thomas jefferson
who, in 1776, in drafting tn
Declaration of independence
after accusing King George II
for a series of acts of tyrann.
wrote: eve renounce you. Yo,
are no longer our king. We wer,
born free and we intend to b

The verses describe the heroic as

Mr., Dayidson's son Robert re-
signed his commission as ensign in
the Naval Communications Division
to become an aviation cadet He
couldn't sit by and watch the wal
60 over my desk he said
The poem follows:
Today I watched handsome lad
With eager eyes devour
The picture on a poster bold
For almost half an hour.
In thrilling scenes the pictures told
A soul-inspiring story
OF brave and gallant fighting men,
Heroic in their glory.
But clearer than the pictured card
read the youngsters dreaming,
AS bOyiSh features lighted up
With great ambitions cleaning,
All yes! I saw his dreams unfold
A stern and fearless flyer.
As Der some far-fung battle-ground
His plane rose ever higher.
Then swooping down with blazing
guns,
He raked the foes position,
AS, needless of the hostile fire,
He carried out his mission.
Alas! This boy may never fly,
His Countrys flag defending,
Nor know the trust of other souls
On him for life depending.
For though his face glowed fear
leSSly,
With faith and hope, undaunted,
TIE path of life that he must tread
With crippled steps is haunted.
AND vet. who knows what power
awaits
Our aid to be revealing
Some way to bring to stricken youth
The blessed gift Of healing!
