CARELESSNESS, BIGGEST
SABOTEUR

The government has done a
splendid job of rounding up
and disposing of the spies and
saboteurs who were trying to
hinder the nations war effort:
But the biggest saboteur of
all-Carlessness-hasn't yet
been stopped, and won't be un-
til every one of us accepts per-
sonal responsibility for stop
ping it.
Accidents last year cost the
nation four hundred and eighty
million man-days. The Greater
Cleveland Safety Council esti-
mates that this is enough time
to have built twenty-three thou
sand heavy bombers-a huge
price to pay for carelessness.
Let's quit payin git-let's all
work to stop accidents!

PUBLIC SIGHTS
By the g sSightseers''

Hi no, everyone, here we are
again, those busybodies from
the good old Collinwood neigh
borhood.
We're going to take you to a
dance that turned out to be a
success, sponsored by Utopi-
ans last Saturday at Slovene
Workmen's Home. Music was
furnished by Joe Francois or
chestra and everybody stated
what a good time they had.
AS we walked in, imagine
our surprise to see Julie Godec
and Richie Skufca together
again. This really does look
like a romance, so how about
letting us in on it? Maxine
Kalsic and frankie Branisel be-
ing a steady twosome. That's
a nice ring you have on, Max
inc Steve -Valencic turning
out to be a wonderful dancer.
Well take you up on all of
those polkas and waltzes,
Steve Marion Kapel, that
Collinwood beauty not sitting
out any Of the dances. How do
you do it, Marion? .. A couple
that can really go to town on
their waltzes are none other
than Sophie Kapel and Frank
Kosic Frank Chuckayne
asking Lill Strazisar if she
found her shoes yet. Why die
you ask, could it be that you
had something to do with their
disappearance, Frank? Why
is it that Snoopy" always

SMOKING IN BED

Despite many warnings to the
public, smoking in bed is still
a frequent cause of injury and
death from burns, the Greater
Cleveland Safety Council says.
Too many people seem to think
that they will know when they
are about to fall asleep, and
will have time to extinguish
their cigarette. And yet every
one knows that you fall asleep
without warning. One minute
you're awake - the next you're
asleep. You never know just
when il happens. So don't take
q chance. You may never wake
up!

and partly established new set
Elements among the Slovene in
habitants. In this way, strong
German wedges were created
among the Slovene inhabitants
which gradually spread and
Germanized the land from west
to east from north to south.
The German colonists enjoyed
the full support of the German
feudal lords and the royal Of
ficials and stewards.
In 600 years, from the ninth
to the fifteenth century, the
Slovenes thus lost half Of their
territory and were pushed back
from the Danube, where they
bordered the Czechs, toward
the river Drava. Further in
roads were stopped in the fif-
teenth century by Turkish in
vasions. The German colonists
wanted to till the good, rich
Slovene soil in peace. But when
Slovenia changed into a battle
ground, and the Slovenes and
the Croats had to defend them
selves alone against the Turks,
the Slovene land lost it's attrac-
tion for the German colonist.
Even after the Turks were halt
ed, religious, social and eco
nomic crises prevented further
inroads until the end of the
eighteenth century.

Ice-Capades Of 1943, which re-

they have been known in ice

that skating belongs to youth

Orrin Markhus, admitting to
81 years of age, started dane

won a waltz contest in Chica-

The First Phase of
Communication

Slovenia, which lies at one of
the most important crossroads
of Europe, has thus always
been the pawn in the game of
foreign imperialistic aspira-
tions. The first phase of Ger
manization begins in the ninth
century. 1t is marked by the
wiping out Of the Slovene aris-
tocracy and settling the land
with German colonists. Two
factors hastened this trend !:
Christianization and the Ger
man feudal order. Christianiza-
tion came from two powerful
foreign centers, from German
Salzburg in the north and Itali-
an Aquileia in the south. In the
greater part of Slovenia, Chris
ClanlZatlOn was a boon TO the
Germans. The best land in the
heart of Slovenia was secured
as a fief by the German bishops
from Tyrol and Bavaria (Brix-
en-, Freising, Bamberg). Many
German monasteries were es-
tablished throughout the land
that received large estates as a
gift or a fief from the emperor.
German counts, too, received
from the emperor vast areas of
Slovene land. On this land, the
German secular and church
aristocracy settled their Ger
man subjects. These settled

Three of the outstanding
books about the war which top
all lists of current-events read
ing are: "The Land of Silent
People," by Robert st. John;
"The Raft" by Robert Trum-
bull and "They Were Expen-
dable," by W. L. White.
The first of these three
thrillers is one which the critics
have hailed as one Of the best
pieces Of reporting yet to come
out of the war. AS one reviewer
puts it: "The adventures of all
the other war writer's pale away
in comparison with Robert ST.
Johns in the Balkans" If any
one wants to know what mod
ern war can be, at it's horrible
worst, told with a powerful
sweep of imagination, horror,
pity and indignation, he should
read this book.
It is interesting to note that
the author, Robert st. John,
will visit Cleveland and report
on "The World at War" next
Saturday at the Music Hall. His
appearance here is sponsored
by the Ursuline College Alum
nae.
"The Raft" by Robert Trum-
bull is the day-by-day account
of three American navy fliers
whose plane was wrecked in the
Pacific. For thirty-four days
the three drifted in an eight by
four foot rubber raft, without
food, equipment, or even ade-
quate clothing. After covering a
distance of about a thousand
miles they reached an inhabited
atoll and were rescued by our
Navy.
"They Were Expendable," by
w. L. White is the story of the
part played by MTB Squadron
8 in the Philippine campaign,
as told by four young officers !:
Bulkeley, Kelly, Akers, and
Cox. These men were response
BILE for Transporting General
Macarthur safely to Australia.
The whole tragic panorama of
the Philippine campaign is re-
flected in this book. These
books may be borrowed from

Extends Rent Act
To Cover Tourist
Cabins; Camps

HARTFORD.-An amendment to
the rent control regulations which re-
quires landlords of tourist cabins, auto
courts, cabin camps and sirnilar es-
adjustments to offer such living &C
commodations at monthly rates in adj
.dition to daily and weekly rates where
tenants have had 90 days of contin-
uous residence since Oct l, 1912, was
announced today by G. Ray Smith,
rent director for the Hartford New
Britain area.
This action, Mr.. Smith said, cor
reefs a condition which allowed
many landlords of such establish
ments to charge their tenants daily
rates despite the fact that these
tenants occupy he premises on a
permanent basis.
The amendment authorizes the di-
rector ION his own initiative to set
the maximum rent for monthly oc-
cupancy based on the rest generally
prevailing in the area on the maximum
rent date for comparable accommo-
dations"
Mr.. Smith pointed out that the
use of cabins by overnight Occu-
pants has almost wholly disappear
ed, and that most of them are now
rented to defense workers and
others on a permanent basis.
