"The younger generation is switching to the English language.....In the course of a score of years, the Russian newspapers will begin to disappear for lack of readers"--from an article by M. K. Stotsky on "The Future of the Russian Press". What a dismal prediction is made by Mr. M.

Generally, members of Russian colonies in America, and particularly in Chicago, can be divided into two categories: the organized and the unorganized. The colony can further be divided into several political, religious, and cultural affiliations. It is commonly assumed that the organized elem

The five girls born together last year into the family of a Canadian farmer by the name of Dionne in the province of Ontario have been, although it may seem strange, converted into a commercial enterprise of a quite peculiar type. The American and Canadian press at the time of the b

The foundation and the future existence of the Russian Independent Mutual Aid Society, RNzOV, depend upon the Russian youth. The question of encouraging our youth to join the organization has, for a number of years, occupied the minds of our most active members, of our board of directors, and

Only quite recently the Bolsheviks asserted that rowdyism, criminal killings and other crimes existed only in the the capitalistic countries. As fas as "the country of socialism" is concerned-the country that freed itself of the cursed inheritances of the past-such criminal activity is a thin

Here in America divorces "sell" like hot cakes. It takes a judge no longer to grant a divorce than it takes a chef to make a waffle. The worst part of it is that the laws regarding divorce are different in each of the forty-eight states. They are so basically different that many men who have

Last April, Anning S. Prall, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, issued a warning concerning objectionable radio programs. He especially emphasized the importance of greater care in the choice of children's programs. His demand was certainly justified, and he made a good im

One cannot but regret the fate of Russian youth in America. The more one gets acquainted with the life and aspirations of youth, the deeper is the anxiety for its future. In the youthful ranks one meets very talented youngsters who, under more favorable circumstances, would develop into valua

Many women constantly complain and sorrow because they are married to men much older than themselves. Many of these women would exchange their homes and luxuries for a humble home and a young husband. This is the ailment, from which many, many women have suffered and will suffer. Something be

One of the local English language newspapers recently published a series of suggestions on how to spend the summer months to derive the most benefits for mind and body. The salient points of these suggestions were that people should strive to spend as much time as possible in the fresh air--o

In the Russian colony in Chicago there lives a very interesting family named Sharov. The Sharovs came here from Western Russia, province of Minok, more than twenty years ago. Like most Russians in America, Sharov first planned to stay in America for only several years, then to return to Russi

The upbringing of children depends largely on three leading factors: the family, the school, and the environment in which the child spends its leisure time. In our previous articles, we blamed, and severely criticized, the Russian organizations for neglecting entirely the cause of the young R

"Fifty years have I waited for this thing to happen". Incredible as this statement seems, it is true. The Ukrainian immigration in America has waited for about fifty years for the First Congress of the Ukrainian Catholic Youth. Fifty years is a long time to wait, but the waiting was

Many of us who have lived for one, two, or as some, for more than three decades in this country have failed to take any interest in the social and political life of our community. It has remained concealed from our view by some mysterious screen. We have felt as if we were guests in America,

The Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation has published some very interesting data concerning criminality among American youth. Thus, for instance, from January 1 to September 30, 1935, a great number of young people were arrested for committing crimes, namely: 16 years old or yo

Last week we wrote an article urging parents to take their children to the church services held during Holy and Easter week. While attending two different churches on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, we were amazed to note that the majority of churchgoers were our young people. There were

As a member of this community for nearly a quarter of a century, I wish to spend a few minutes with you, taking an inventory of its accomplishments and failures in the past, and of its major problems in the present, with some attention to your share towards the solution of these problems. Ple

A young Mexican killed his wife and mother-in-law. The home of Mrs. Angela Rodriguez situated in the first floor of the Oberman Building 14th, and Newberry Ave. was a theatre of a tragedy last Thursday, when Federico Chavez 21 years of age, Mexican by nationality, killed his wife, Mrs. Aurora

The young assassin related his life story and motives which caused him to commit the crime. Last Tuesday after considerable efforts, a representative of "La Defensa" was permitted to see Federico Chavez, who is now waiting for trial for the murder of his 16 year old wife, and his mother-in-la

I have just acquired a pamphlet of the works of H. N. Bialik, a wellknown writer who died recently, and I have studied his opinion on the necessity of knowing the language of one's fathers. It is admirable. American-Lithuanians should appreciate this opinion. Through the present lack of knowl
