News About Town

lOQay AHlerlCdHS are Idlh-
ing about the progress that our
boys in service are making.
Every day more boys are leav-
ing for the armed services;
boys are graduating with top
honors, boys are being sent
across-each one determined to
get into battle and do his best.
We can plainly see that our
men are the best trained in the,
world. The battle in N. Africa
proves that. May II, 1943 will
always be remembered as the
outstanding day-for our fight
ers in Africa ended that bat
tie. This day led us on our
start towards Tokyo and the
Roosevelt Churchill conference
which was of great Importance.
Yes, our American men are
doing remarkable job in every
branch Of the service. We can
only hope that soon they will be
home safe with us with the
battle won for democracy. Re-
member, keep writing letters to
the men and boys in the fight
ing forces.
We must also remember that
the Yugoslav Partisans are do
ing a remarkable job for which
they deserve much credit. In a
picture from the Acme Tele-
photo, Nazis are shown search
ing the Partisan fighters who
were captured. May they con-
tinue being as brave and cour-
ageouS as they have been since
the fall of Belgrade.
We congratulate Miss Rita
Shemple, daughter of Mr..
Michael Shemple, 942 East
2O9th street on her recent en-
gagement to Seaman, f.c. Frank
Bartol, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Bartol of Aurora, MINI.
Another popular Collinwood
couple that recently announced
their engagement is Miss Vera
Homer and Mr.. Bob Osolin.
Bob recently left for the Navy.
Released from Washington
was news of Fireman (second
class) Eugene F. Rupnik; son
of Frank Rupnik, 1441O Sylvia
avenue, who is being held in
the Philippines. Also captured
there is Boatswain's Mate (sec-
ond class) Alexander J. Spilak,
son of Mrs. Theresa Slipak,
800 E. 157 Street.
We extend congratulations to
Miss Eleanor Ster, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Ster on her
marriage to Mr.. Raymond Stu
plea, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
Stupica. The couple was mar
ried in Boston, Mass, where the
groom is stationed in the Army.
We send them our best wishes!
Yours truly is compiling
notes of Slovenian women in
war work, so readers, if you
are doing defense work or any
thing vital for the government
drop me card at my home or
at the "Cleveland News" or
phone. Any other item of inter-
est sent to me will help so

Hope to have you read my

you'll cooperate-so what about
it? END.

Mutual Benefit Association
makes a special insurance Of
fer. It will insure members in
the Juvenile department free
for a period of six months if
they ar enrolled before July
1st 1943. 1t offers protection
up to $4,000 for Is cents per
month and up to 100000 for
80 cents per month. Our juve-
nile certificates have a reserve
which is credited to such men,
Der when the child attains
the age of 16 years and trans
fers to the Adult Department.
This amount of reserve practi-
cally amounts to the amount
paid to the association as pre-
miums by the child or parent.
It is a most low-cOst and sound
protection for both parent and
child.
To young couples, SDZ pre-
sents this most attractive form
of insurance as an added fea-
ture to it's legal reserve, paid
up, extended and loan provi-
sions. If mother is a member,
she receives $500 as her bene-
fit and $1,000 is credited to the
newborn child toward the pay
ment of future assessments up
on it's insurance certificate.
This amount is sufficient to
cover period of five and one
half years. AS the child will
transfer to the Adult Depart
ment at the age of sixteen
years, payments for eleven and
one-half years will be made by
the parent or child. These pay
ments amount to S2O.7O. How
ever, at the age of sixteen years
when the child transfers to the
Adult Department, the reserve
in the sum of S19.95 is credited
to the adult certificate. Ele-
mentary arithmetic shows that
for the very small total sum OF
rs cents, the child has been IN
sured for the entire period OF
sixteen years. There is no bet
ter investment for Is cents any,
where in the world. 1t is defi-
nitely a very good bargain and
the soundest investment. For
the cost of Is cents you and
the child are protected for a
period of sixteen years. More
over. your investment will not
be lost in the event the child
dies.
AS a member of SDZ the
child is also given educational,
cultural and recreation oppor-
tunities. SDZ fosters and main
tains juvenile lodges and clubs
where the child may gain IN
valuable experience in parlla-
mentary laws, public speaking,
debate, the conduct and order
of meetings and leadership.
After the meetings, there is
good clean fun and educational
games. The child may also ac-
quire the invaluable knack of
meeting and associating with
people, making and cultiVatlng
friendships and public poise.
AS a member of SDZ the
child is not only protected by
the soundest loW-cost insurance
but acquires priceless expert
ence.
