both the younger and the older
generations Of Slovenians here

direction of this concert into
very capable hands. Those of
Mr.. John Steblaj for the play,

was being imposed upon them
by a merciless enemy whose
ultimate aim was the total ami
hilation of the Slav people. How
ever, this lament was not one Of
self pity or a cry for salvation
from some external force. In
5tead it served as a fuel tc feed
the inspirational fires of resist
ance that famed up all over the
country and licking away at the
hordes of oppression, produced
a new song that spoke of Vic
tory over Tyranny and new,
reborn Jugoslavia dedicated to
make operative plans for the
elimination of fear and want and
an insurance of justice and
peace. "Zarja" is proud to have
on it's program a number of
these Partisan songs.
War brings a curtailment of
laughter so today a bit of COM
edy is always in order and
"comical' is a fitting description
of the operetta, "Cevljar in
vrag" which serves to close the
program. Having sold his soul
to the devil in exchange for
seven years of prosperous living,
a man must be quite clever in
his attempt to outwit Mesphisto
when he arrives to collect his
due. Frank Kokal, whose rise
on the Slovene stage has been
meteoric, will demonstrate the
manner in which such a trick
may be accomplished with the
aid of such seasoned players as
Tony Perushek: Dorothy-Skede
Cecelic, Ivan Czech, and Frank
and Sophie Elersich, so one can
be assured a real treat is in
store.
Dancing to the music of Vad-
nails orchestra and partaking
of the usual refreshments in the
annex will consist of the eve
nings entertainment. All in all
there is something to satisfy
almost every Whim. and fancy,
SO don't be different and become
the guest Of "Zarja" on Thanks
giving Day from 4::3O p. m. until
you have had your fill.

JOHN A. BLATNIK. of MINNESOTA. FIRST AMERI-
CAN sLovENE ELECTED TO U. S. CONGRESS

The recent general elections
On November 9Th swept into
public offices candidates on the
Republican slate, and only in
three instances throughout the
United States Democratic can
didates unseated the incumbent
Republicans. ....
One of the three Democrats,
who will take office in January,
is John A. Blatnik of Chisholm,
Mimi, the first American of
Slovene descent to be elected to
the U. S. Congress. His election
to such an important post at a
time when the entire nation re-
volts against the party, of
which the elected is a member,
is more than mildly interesting.
Blatnik, who will represent
the iron range eighth district
in Minnesota, Of which Duluth
is the center, was opposed by
William A. Pittinger, Republi-
can, who sat in Congress seven
terms. It is natural that the Re-
publican opponent resorted to
all possible means to discredit
the young Democrat, whose
chances for election, seemed in
view of the Republican trend,
rather slight.
The newly elected congress-
man is just 35 years of age and
will be one of the youngest men,
bers in the u. S. Congress. Be-
fore his induction into the army,
he was an instructor. Immedi-
ately upon his induction he was
assigned to the Office of Stra-
tegic Services and sent to Yugo-
slavia, where he served as a
liaison officer between Tito's
army and the American army.
Though born and educated in
America, he masters the Slo-
vene language very we'll, and
does not hesitate to speak it,
when occasion arises. During his
service in Yugoslavia, he was
constantly in danger of losing
his life, as he steadily accom-
panied the Partisans in their
battles against the enemy
forces. His admiration for the
heroic struggle of the Yugo-

slavs in overcoming the Nazis,
was a source of attacks by the
Pittinger hackers, who labeled
Blatnik a Communist" and
lover of Tito, in the hopes that
the "red" stigma on the Demo
crat, would not vote for the in
cumbent. These attacks proved
ineffective, and Blatnik's ma
jority over the veteran Repub-
lican congressman was over
10000.

"AAS N1ioFSl1C IL oINl llo1 ollN Sui-
tural life in Cleveland began to
evolve into its present day sta
tus. Consequently, an ever in
creasing number of organiza-
tions are at present or m the
near future preparing to COM
memorate their third or fourth
decade of a highly successful,
and, undoubtedly, at times, tur-
bulent adherence to the princi-
pies upon which they were
foW1ded.
Among these organizations is
the choral group, 'Zarja' whose
inception dates back to 1916
when a number of musically in
clined and progressive minded
young Slovene males conceived
the idea to form an all male
chorus dedicated to the task of
this country. Despite the high
pinnacle of success that was at
tanned in the following years it
was realized that with the ad-
dition of female voices a new,
larger, and more fruitful field
of music and drama would be
available to the chorus and thus
"Zarja' became a mixer group
and has maintained that stand
ing to the present day.
In it's thirty years of existence
the chorus has realized many
successes and has enjoyed the
liberal support of a staunch
group of people harboring a
strong belief in the ideals for
which "Zarja' stands. However,
the way was not always smooth,
but often full Cf obstructions
and pitfalls such as the two
world wars, and the difficulty
of inspiring people to blend
their voices and lend their en-
ergies to promoting a larger and
stronger chorus. Nevertheless,
the two wars have wrought their
distinctions and gone; old sing
ers have been replaced by new
members, and "Zarja' is on this
Thanksgiving Day at the SIND
presenting a concert and dance
thirty years later.
To those of you familiar with
music it is not necessary to pic
ture the lifting, Lively melodies
of Smetana's, "Bartered Bride;
but for the individuals who wish
to become acquainted with the
great work of that famed Czech
composer, the opportunity will
present itself when 'Zarja' in
full dress costume to provide
the color and mood, sings a num-
Der Of excerpts from the grand
opera. An added feature will be
the dancing Of the polka by q
group of young girls from the
Junior Chorus of Komensky
Hall.
Ranking first in popularity
that catchy melody-"Blue Dan
ube', but "Zarja' has uncovered
yet another waltz that measure
for measure is equally as bril-
liant as the Blue Danube. This
latest offering is titled South
ern Roses and must be heard
to be appreciated.
Since that era in history when
man first became aware Of and
learned to develop his powers
Of articulation, song, assumed
an important position in the ex-
preston of his moods; love, hate,
fear, pity, and happiness. This
it was that during this war our
cousins, uncles, and aunts found
solace and inspiration in songs
as they so valiantly fought and
died to stem and eventually des-
troy the fascist element in their
country. In heartfelt words
coupled to simple tunes they re-
counted the destruction, depri-
vation, and degradation that
