Chicago, iii. - The newly
organized Junior Nest 242
Mothers Auxiliary came in
to being on March 14th, 1855,
as a result of the efforts of
our Nest Manager, Mary Pie
sha. The following officers
were elected to head the
group:
President, Anna Bozich;
Vice-President, Anna Jovano-
vich; Secretary, Pauline STAN
lay; Treasurer, Catherine Ma
donich; and Recording Secre-
tary, Ann Matesevac.
All junior members up to
the age of sixteen years are
eligible to join this group.
Bro. Sam Cuzella is donating
his time to teach the art of
kolo dancing, singing and
playing various instruments.
If enough teenagers are in
terested in these classes. bro.
Cuzella plans to form groups
of children between the ages
of five and sixteen, and hold
classes every Monday evening
from 600 until 900 PM.
twenty-five children were
present at the last session and
we hope to increase this num-
ber very shortly.
The Auxiliary will meet on
the last Monday of every
month at 700 PM in the

Inducted into the Honor
Society in the same ceremo-
nics with Kay was Eli Peren-
cevich, another youngster of
Croatian (zumberak) extrac-
ton who is among the top
scholars in the Senior Class
at Euclid High.
A short time after receiv-
ing her pin, emblematic of
membership in the MIS-,
Kay was thrilled to receive a
telegram from the Russell B.
Jackson Memorial Laborato-
ry, located at Bar Harbor,
Maine, advising her that she
was one of a group of out
standing senior students who
were accepted for the Sum-
mer Classes that would be
conducted at Bar Harbor be-
ginning June 26th.
The Bar Harbor school will
give Kay some specialized
training in scientific subjects
and will give her excellent
preparatory work for her Col
lege training. Her ambition
is to become a High School
Science teacher so she will
major in scientific subjects in
college.

Needless to say, both Mrs.
Badovinac and Kay's father
who has assumed the du-
ties of Kay's unofficial press
agent are thrilled over the
lionors that have come to Kay

Six And Six

\ AOST of our members are acquainted
wi with the fact that the English Section
Of the ZaiedniGar was increased from four
70 six pages by mandate of the Socletys
1851 Convention.
Sister Mary Mrnjec, then member
of the Supreme Board, made. the motion
to increase the English Section by two
pages during the 18th Session of that
Convention. Delegate bro. Joseph M. WI
kovich seconded the motion.
Only three (3) of the more than sou
Delegates in attendance at that Convention
voted against the motion. In short, the de-
cision to "up" the English Section oy two
pages bordered so close to being unanimous
that even the three who voted nay agreed
with the end result.
So much for the record.

Now, what about this talk and writing
to the effect that the English Editor is no
longer cooperating in respect to making
available a page for Croatian material when
that Section of the Official Organ finds IT.
self hard up" for extra space?
The answer is simple: - We remain
as cooperative as ever along this line and
can arrange to accommodate the Gro
atian Section to an appreciable extent if
and when asked to do so.
No one can deny our willingness to CO.
operate and still tell the truth.
Nor is anyone going to lmaneuver us
into refusing to cooperate with any OF our
fellow Home Office officials for the purpose
of plunging us into controversy.
If the Croatian Section of the Zajedni-
car has space problems, which at times it
does, then what makes anyone think that
the English Section doesn't have to cope
with the same headache?
For example, how many of our men,
bers know that the English Section has
since the 1851 Convention taken over sole
publication monthly of the Membership
Standing of the Society and the Supreme
Secretary's Report on Disbursements? How
many know that the English Section also
carries in English the complete texts of all
Executive and Supreme Board Minutes?
How many know that all sports articles,
all bowling league writeups, all bowling
tournament schedules, etc. etc, are pub
lished solely on these six pages? How ma
ny know that SO 99/1O0fo of the post -bas-
ketball bowling, etc, tournament coverage
and pictures is left in the end to the English
Section to bring before the members?
How many know that the English
Section this year alone carried all statis-
tics pertaining to the Conservation
Award Payments to the Society's Lodge
Secretaries and Nest Managers:
How many know that every single ma
jor affair backed by Lodge, a Nest or
Central Committee is no less promoted in
the English Section than it is in the Gro
attain Section? How many know that we
have 1909 record in this respect?

If this isn't cooperation personified,
then, pray, tell us what is!

Haven't we all been worried
about weakness of character that
is being discovered in our growing

be falling away. Some say parents

Solemn assemblies are getting
together to think deeply on what
to do about the delinquencies of
teen-agers and how to teach their
characters. There is much doubt
expressed as to whether our pub

spiritual fundamentals; since by
such effort they may trespass on
dangerous theological ground
that is to say, the ground on
which people like to quarrel hate
fully in behalf of their ideas of
God. Which idea of God, if any,
should be accepted in the public
schools, then? And can young
character be formed without the
ineffable model-image of God,

that he required man to be merci-
full, just and humble. Ut seems to
me, I've been quoting that quite
frequently of late, but can it be
repeated too often?)
Well. anything. this blue-jeans

getting some of that kind of teach

ing to Capital Transit were not
completely justified. Now this
appeals decision demonstrates
that the utilities commission
didn't have to grant the last

avoided a large loss of passen-

I'm my opinion the Public
Utilities Commission granted
more fare increases than the
facts called for, and so the
transit company priced itself out

Indifferent TO
Transit Strike

LOS ANGELES. July 9 tP.-
1t would be a citywide disaster
If the downtown public trans
portation system in some other
American metropolises were
strikebound.
But not in this Detroit of the
West where the automobile is
king.
The Los Angeles Transit Lines,
which normally carries nearly a
million passengers daily, has
been idle since June 20 in a
strike of 1900 bus and trolley
operators seeking 20 cents more
an hour.
Only a few dozen of the nearly
Ia million riders have written
the Mayor or the Public Utili-
ties Commission demanding that
something be done to end the
ltieup. The State Public Utilities
Commission, which usually gets
many calls during a utility
strike. got none the past week.
And Federal Conciliator Harry
Malcom, who got so many calls
during the 1854 transit strike
that he had to move out of his
house, has received none during
the current walkout. He has
been attempting to bring the
two sides together.
Why the apparent apathy?
Los Angeles County's also, ,00C
autos-the greatest concentra-
ltion on earth-have helped solve
the transportation problem. The
car pool. popular during the gas
Irationing of World War II, has
come back in style. And the
hitchhiker has reappeared.
One former bus rider says he
enjoys hitchhiking now because
he meets such swell people.
The commuter is getting to
his job, all right. How about
the downtown shopper?
That is the sad part of the
story. Downtown stores report
declines in business, despite a
publicity campaign showing that
auto trafic is no heavier than
normal and that parking lots
are not increasing prices. AT
least two downtown theaters
have served notice on their EN-.
Iployes that they may have to
shut down if the strike is pro-
longed. 80
Many persons who normally
shop downtown are shopping in
the suburbs instead.
The strikers rejected the COM
pany's offer of IL cents more an
hour. despite the recommenda-
Itions Of their own negotiating
committee that the offer be ac-
cepted. They are members OF
Division 1877 of the AFL Anal
gamated Association of Street
