The other day our Govern

March 1941 through December
1943 the United States pro-
duced 10000 airplanes Of all
types, of which some 28,0O0-
approximately 10 per cent
were sent to Allied nations.

planes are helping not only our
boys in the Pacific and in Italy
to deliver crushing blows to
Axis bandits, but they are help
ing, also, the Red Army men to
drive the Nazi hordes from
Soviet. soil. We read with great
JOY that our planes are helping
Tito in repulsing the relentless
Offensives of Hitlerite en-
slavers.
More than 100000 Ameri-
can boys of Slav descent are
serving with honor in the armed
forces of our country. Many of
them, like our John Yaksich, of
Detroit, have already distin-
guished themselves as war
heroes who are ready to give
everything for victory. It was
with sense of pride that we
presented the Army with a 30
ton General Grant tank at our
Slav day rally at Keyworth
Stadium last summer. The pre-
sentation of the tank was the
highlight of our most active
participation in the war-loan
drives during the year of this
report, which were conducted
under the leadership of our
friend, first honorary chairman
Of Michigan Slav Congress, Mr..
Frank N, Isbey, director of
Michiagn War Finance Com
mittee. It is to the credit of
people of Michigan and the
leadership of Mr.. Isbey, that

The Cleveland Federation of
SNPJ Lodges, presents the SN-
PJ Juvenile Singing Chorus in
a Musical Show.
For months approximately
sixty members from juvenile
circles all over the city of Gle
veland have gathered together
once a week with one purpose
in mind. Slowly and steadily
under the able direction of Via
dimar Maleckar this group has
studied and worked hard to
achieve their goal. Although
some members are not of Slo-
vene descent, all singing is in
the Slovene language. Each
song is translated into English
and explained so that members
may know not only how to sing
but what they are singing. You
can readily see that Mr.. Malice
kar. is building a strong foun-
dation for the chorus.
Now, at last, the chorus is
eagerly awaiting their first
gala even ia concert to be
presented Sunday afternoon

FRANK ]. LAUSCHE

Gathering more votes than all
of five opponents on the ticket,
Mayor Frank J. Lausche, Gle
veland, Ohio, grabbed the
Democratic nomination for
Governor-State of Ohio. He
will enter the November elec-
tions, fully confident of VIC
tory.
Those who have watched his
meteoric rise in politics, predict
his election over his Republican
opponent. Looking into the cry
stal ball we see not only his
election as Governor of the
State of Ohio, but also his re-
election and then when the time
is ripe, a formidable candidate
for the presidency of the United
States. .-.
John E. Lokar, the mayors
secretary deserves a great deal
of credit for his behind-the.
scene activity. =.
