by which order is established,
besides the burning Of villages
and individual estates, is be-
coming, more and more, the
shooting of hostages. After
each, execution, the authorities
announce that wv lit h stern
measures" order has been re-
stored and that the inhabitants
are called upon for their CO.
operation. The response to such
calls is a series Of new attempts
on the lines Of the invaders
which again leads to the shoot
ing of innocent victims and to
new announcements that order
has been restored and new ex-
'hortations for, cooperation.
With such circling flow of
blood is this procedure being
repeated in the land. ,>.
The shooting Of hostages is
announced by large red-edged
posters. These tell of the acts
for which the hostages were
executed, their names, and dates
of execution. ..r.
While the Germans regularly
publish the names of the execut-
ed hostages, the Italians indulge
in a varied practice. The cause
of this is the increased turmoil
after each execution. At first,
the Italians pretended that the
hostages were tried and exc
cuted because of committing
forbidden acts. When even this
did not remain unrevealed, they
discontinued the publication of
names on posters and ANNOUNCE
ed weeks later the execution of
certain persons, but not as
hostages. Of late, they have
even discontinued these an
nouncements. An underground
report commenting on this prac-
tice without precedent en-

Courtesy In Traffic

Motorists are generally crea-
lures of habit to a greater ex-
tent than any other type of citi-
zen. Each driver picks a favor
ite route to and from his place
of business and nothing short
of a barricade or a uniformed
officer can change his course.
We know drivers who have fol-
lowed the same route for years
and grumble if, because of con-
struction work, they are tenn
porarily forced to use other
thoroughfares.
If traffic will not let you
through and you see that you
are holding up cars behind,
drive on a way until you can
turn and allow traffic to pro-
coed from the rear. If you don't
have to turn at that particular
corner, try the next, don't per-
NIT habit to cause inconveni-
ence to a number of other
drivers. ...,.t~ ..... T. 10
Did you ever hear of the
Golden Rule in driving The
answer is no or you wouldn't
be in this category of splash
ing pedestrians and autos you
pass, with blobs of mud and
water. You certainly wouldn't
get as much kick out of being
the victim as you do being the
offender. In addition to caus-,
ing damage to clothing of pc
destrians, there is always the
possibility of splashing into the
window of another car and
causing an accident by temper
arily binding the driver. Let
be the keynote in your
driving habits.

GAS LEAKS

With the shortage of skilled
labor, many of us have been
doing odd jobs for ourselves
around the house for which we
would ordinarily call a service
man.
That's a commendable and
patriotic thing to dc, but there's
one case where we should al
ways call a service man, the
Cleveland Safety Coun-
Gil says-when we smell escap-
ing gas. After making sure that
no gas valves are open, call the
gas company at once. Don't look
for the leak yourself, particu-
larly with a lighted match or
candle-you'll never find it ly-
in a hospital bed.

STOP! LOOK! r

Mister Motorist, it was al
ways bad business to try to beat
a train to the crossing. But it's
more dangerous than ever now,
the Greater Cleveland Safety
Council says, because there are
SO many special trains on the
rails. Now is the time, then, for
all good drivers to come to the
aid Of their country by being
especially careful at railroad
crossings. Stop, look and listen,

Assist. H~orticulturist

Assist. Horticulturist
Do not plant fine seed too
deep. A good rule to follow is
to plant seed to a depth of
three or four times the diameter
of seed.
Companion crops are those
quic kmaturing ones planted
between lows of slower grow
ing vegetables.
The size of the garden should
be determined by the site, space
and time available and the
needs of the family.
Four major vegetables are
suggested for the: small garden
because of ease of culture, max
imum yield, high vitamin con-
tent, and general use. They are
tomatoes, carrots, beans and
vegetable greens.
Vegetable greens include let
tuce, Swiss chard, Chinese cab
bage, beet and turnip tops and
others.
Following should be planted
as soon as the soil is workable
ONION sets, lettuce, radishes,
turnips, kohlrabi and peas.
Peas are a cool weather crop
and should be planted early in
order to develop before hot
weather comes.
Keep plants in straight rows
for it not only improves the ap-
pearance but also makes it
easier to maintain.

Here's a tip from the Great
er Cleveland Safety Council to
night-shift war workers: On
your way to and from work,
wear something white or light
colored, or carry a white lunch
box. This will enable automo-

tiers at st. Vitus there came re-
ports of the practice Of pouring
pepper into the mouth, nose and
on the eyelids, and also the
practice Of burning the ears
and face with cigarettes.
At the slightest sign of any
ill-will, the penalty is bunker"
that is, an underground cham
Der, where they beat the prison
er with rubber cudgels and butts
of revolvers, knocking out
teeth and breaking ribs. Then
they keep him on a stone floor
for a few days, so that the
blood-shot eyes and the numer-
GUS wounds and swellings are
somewhat reduced. Thereupon
they remove him into another
room, where he is unknown.
The Jews that escaped to
Yugoslavia after the occupation
of Austria and were then seized
by the Germans in Slovenia,
are subjected to special torture.
A 62 year old Jew, Majer, whose
millions the Nazis confiscated
in Vienna, had to climb on
spikes driven into the wall and
amid boisterous laughter and
mockery they even beat him
with cudgels. If he showed
signs of weakening, they stuck
bayonets into his back. Finally,
a II year old Gestapo dropped
cigarette ashes on the floor and
the Jew was forced to pick it
up with his fingers. Majer with
stood this torture for several
days hour after hour, before he
fell unconscious. At last they
removed him from Slovenia.
Many Jews disappear, their fate
being unknown.
The Italian speciality is refin-
ed beating, which shows.no out
ward marks on the victims, yet
they die of internal injuries.
They beat prisoners with sand
bags. With this torture they
exact confessions to acts which
were never committed.
From all parts of Italian &C.
cupied Slovenia come terrifying
reports of the brutal treatment
of prisoners. Beating has be-
come the order of the day. Beat
ings are the rule before and
after hearings. Everyone beats:
higher officials, members Of the
militia, the Carabinieri soldiers
beat people with all sorts of
weapons. Let us cite a typical
example,: On May 9, 1912 con-
tingents of the Italian army
came to Sodrazica and began
looking for Partizans. First they
killed a youth who tried to
escape when he saw them, be-
cause he feared a beating. Then
they arrested four more lads
and took them to the gendarme
station and began to beat them
mercilessly. During the beating
they were forced to hold their
hands outstretched. During al
slight pause, one of the victims,
streaming with blood, broke
loose and fled. The soldiers pur-
sued the fleeing victim with a.
hunting dog, overlook him and
killed him with hand grenades.
Then they returned to the gen.
darme station and killed the!
other three. The village of So
drazica was later RACED to the
ground with bombs.

Slovene Day Report

On March 21st, the Jugoslav
(Slovene) Club sponsored a.
Slovene Day at the Cathedral
Canteen. The chairman for the
day was Mrs. Frank Vegel, to
whom the club wishes to ex-
tend sincere public acknowl-
edgment and thanks for the
splendid way in which she Or
ganized and handled such a
stupendous task. Official re-
ports show that close to 400
guests were taken care of. The
tables were decorated with car
nations which is the Slovene
national flower, and the serv-
ing was done by the members
dressed in Slovene "decva' COS
tunes.
The menu for dinner consist
ed of roast beef, mashed pota-
toes with vegetable gravy, but
tered beans, iceberg salad with
French dressing, apple strudel,
coffee, milk or soft drinks. For
late corners there were roast
beef sandwiches, flancate, po-
tica, coffee, milk or soft drinks.
In addition to this, every serv-
ice man or woman served re-
ceived a package of cigarettes.
After dinner there was a very
entertaining program in charge
of Miss Johanna Gornik and
Mrs. William Lausche. To them
also the clubs sincerest thanks
for lining up such a swell
group of entertainers. To DR..
William Lausche, who accom-
panied all the performers, and
to Mr.. John Grdina who in ad-
ditiOn to putting on his magi-
clans act also acted as master
of ceremonies, the clubs deep
est appreciation and thanks for
a snappy and we'll co-ordinated
program. Caroline Budan, our
charming Slovene p rano,
made a real hit with the guests
with her pleasing voice and per-
sonality, and the Slovene quar-
tet, consisting of John Kovacic,
Rudy Koporc, John Strnisha
and Edward Siefert, also met
with very warm approval for
their gay songs and friendly
appearance. To the quartet and
to Miss Budan, all thanks for
their generous cooperation.
Anne Erste had everybody in
stitches and gales of laughter
with her amusing monologue
sketch, and we all want her to.
know we appreciate her share
in the show. Madame Blanca,
who has a dancing studio in
downtown Cleveland, brought a.
troupe of her students who pre-
sented two groups of solo and
group dances that pleased the
audience very much and for
which the club wishes to extend
grateful apprec citation and
thanks both to Madame Bian-
ca and to her troupe. Miss La
Verne DeTempl, a speciality
dancer, also added to the pleas
ure of the program for which
we also say thanks much.
You should have seen the
service men and women learn
ing to do the polka, poke
schottisch,' and the SloveneI
waltz! They just wouldn't let
Peter Sokach and his boys, who!
were augmented by Johnny Pc
cons boys, play anything else.
The orchestra certainly more
than did their share to make
the evening the huge success
that it was, and to all of them
go our very Warmest thanks.
All of this was made possible|
