My Trip to la Corne!

1
On Sunday, August 10th, I,
with ten other Slovenes visited
the Prisoner Of War Camp, La
Carne, Ohio, where eight Slo-
vene boys are interned as Itali-
an Prisoners of War. Cap
Ftured at the fall of Italy, these
boys are very lonesome for
their homeland, Yugoslavia,
Upon arriving in camp, we
reported in the Administration
Building and were assigned a
guard, who took us to the can
teen, where we were to meet
one Of the Slovene boys, name
ly, Vinko Kalcic. It. was quite
some time before they located
him, and on his arrival he i'm
mediately took us to the sother
boys. While waiting for Vinko,
there was nothing to be heard
but the Italians speaking. It
certainly was wonderful to hear
Vinko speak to us in Slovene.
On reaching the boys, tears
filled their eyes, and they were
very glad to see that more Slo-
venes had come to visit them.
We talked as if we had known
them for years, although they
really were strangers.
We had permission from the
commanding officer to bring
our own food for the boys if we
wished. We all went into an
other barrack where we ate,
laughed, talked and danced.
The boys are learning the Eng
lish language very fast.
After finishing the meal, we
danced, and believe me, even
though they hadn't danced for
five years, they We're wonder
full. Later on, one of the young
Slovene boys took Mile Ru-
zick and I to the canteen, GYM
nasium, their barracks, chapel,
and where they work. These
boys work in a factory from 7
to a daily. After working hours
they do what they wish until
900. For amusement they have
bowling courts outside, thea.
tres, etc.
Anyone wishing to see these
boys will have the opportunity
to do SO tomorrow, when they
will all visit in Collinwood.
They will attend the II: 100 mass
at st. Mary's Church, after
which they will be taken to the
Slovene Workmen's Home, Wa
terloo Rd., where the public
may meet them.
BY the way, these boys would
like to hear from some of you.
Anyone interested in writing to
them may obtain their ad-
dresses by getting in touch
with me.

TO be able to manage a home on
a small income is the greatest
achievement one can have. But to
do this successfully, the wife or
homemaker must have cooperation
from all members of the family.
The hush; nd and wife must share
all financia responsibility from the
beginning. The full amount~of in
come must be known by both par
ties and mutually agreed upon
plan set up for spending and saw

1t may take several months of
adjustment before your home bud
get is running smoothly, but ,gradu-
ally you will settle into plan of
spending that will fit your needs.
Since the housewife does most of
the purchasing for the home, she
should pay the bills incurred. 1t is
an old-fashioned idea that the wom-
an should be released of all finan-
cial worry and concentrate on the
business of keeping house. How
ever, the modern family's success is
based upon the principle of share
and-share-alike, and the wife should

Nogo defied the Rangers in a series

"All right" said Nogo, "Ill kill one

LAMA was SO proud and excited she
couldn't keep the secret. She told
her girl friends, who told others. The
Rangers got wind Of it. So, when
Nogo stalked his lion, he was stalked
in turn by the girls, who wanted to
see the battle. And they were all

was sorry about the nightingales'

were violating no law, but ii caused
a scandal later.
In 1896 Hippolyte Rose, a bushy-
bearded Marseille big game hunter,
turned the idea into commercial
racket. He made millions by supply
ing credulouS clients with lion meat,
guaranteed TO instill valor in timid
people" Among them were Novelist
Colette, Screen Star Gina Names,
Pierre Mile, and some embarrassed
generals.
Magistrate Venquin, who convicted
Rose, expressed surprise that such
brilliant people could be so stupid as
TO put faith and money in such
childish swindle"
At the racket's height, Rose was
even selling canned lion hearts for
fabulous sums, and the trial was en-
livened by suspicion that these were
merely beef hearts bought cheaply
from a slaughterhousc in Batignolles.
Perhaps not all the members of the
Paris cult took their diet of lion 1leat
seriously, but il is known that
white persons have.
There's a queer thing about magic
Lion meat is no different from other
meat. Yet, eating it will give you
lions courage, as il did Nogo in
Africa-if you believe il strongly
enough. The simple keyword TO this
kind of magic. in the dictionary of
psychology, is self-hypnosis.

food processing plant of John S.

TO quick freeze annually more
than a million and a half pounds

The fast freezer, developed for

his 1000 acres of farmland.
In addition to handling other
truck produce from the Isaacs
farm, the freezer will handle
large portion of the poultry raised
