November 29 was a national Holiday in Yugoslavia, celebrating the creation of a new country based on equality, brotherhood, unity, self-relience and self-management for all of its people. As a gift for this occasion, I have ripped a vinyl record from a 1985 in which Army Orchestra of Sarajevo performs numerous and famous partisan liberation songs. This record was released by Diskoton from Sarajevo.</div>

Here is a nice set of newswire photographs that were used by Chicago Tribune to publish a story on equality of women in Partisan liberation movement in Yugoslavia led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Almost shocked, this newspaper reports that nearly a third of these volunteer Partisan fighters are women, fighting side by side with their male comrades, thus making this a true people's army.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These photographs were taken in allied bases in Italy, islands in Adriatic Sea and Malta, where Partisans were trained by British and American officers in preparation for a final assault on German occupying forces in Yugoslavia.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>"CAIRO, Feb. 4 (UP) — Two U.S. fliers, whose names cannot be revealed, have arrived in Cairo after being shot down in Yugoslavia, captured by Nazi Chetniks, rescued in a raid by Partisans, then brought through German lines to a rendezvous with American naval craft, it was learned here today.</i></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

American CBS television network, or more accurately, KCBS affiliate station in Los Angeles, California filmed this tourist documentary in 1986 showing off the beautiful country, tourist hotspots and leisurely and rich lifestyle of those living in Yugoslavia. The guide of the program is Melody Rogers (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0737083/" target="NEW">IMDB</a>) and this was just one of the many countries that were featured on this American program in the 1980's. Interesting to note is that at the end of the show, she summarizes her feelings about what she had just seen by stating that this was one of the most beautiful countries she and her crew ever visited. In her words, "It's spectacular!"<br />
<br />
Another interesting thing to mention is that when commenting on Yugoslavian socialism, she states (while climbing castle stairs in Opatija) "All along Yugoslavian riviera there are these beautiful castles that were once used by kings and queens, by the nobility of Yugoslavia. Well, since there's no more nobility, they are now beautiful quaint little hotels that are used by people like you and me."</div>

Though he lived in New York City for most of his life, Stone made a lasting contribution to the architecture of Yugoslavia and its touristic appeal. During 1970's he and his firm design two sprawling resorts on the Adriatic coast in the city of Dubrovnik. They are '<i>Babin Kuk Resort</i>' and '<i>Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel</i>', both opened to tourists in 1976.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Edward Stone was born on March 9, 1902, in Fayetteville (Washington County) to Benjamin Hicks Stone, a merchant and businessman, and Ruth Johnson Stone, a former English teacher at the University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville. The youngest of three children, Stone attended Fayetteville’s public schools but was not a serious student. His mother encouraged his talents for drawing and building things and allowed him to have a home carpentry shop. At age fourteen, he won first prize in a countywide birdhouse competition, the judges of which included an architect and the president of UA.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone attended UA from 1920 to 1923 before moving to Boston, Massachusetts, where his brother was an architect. While studying at the Boston Architectural Club, Stone met Henry R. Shepley, one of Boston’s leading architects. Shepley hired him as a draftsman and became his mentor. Two years later, Stone won a special scholarship to Harvard Architectural School (1925–26), after which he attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1926–27). Though he would receive honorary degrees from several institutions, including UA, he never graduated. He won the prestigious Rotch Traveling Scholarship in 1927 and spent the next two years in Europe.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone returned to the United States in 1929 and settled in New York City. He married Orlean Vandiver in 1931, and they had two sons. Stone was enthused by the new buildings he had seen in Europe and became an early proponent of International Style architecture. His first designs, built primarily in New York, include the Mandel house in Mount Kisco; the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, designed in association with Philip Goodwin; and the Goodyear house in Old Westbury. During World War II, Stone served as chief of the planning and design section of the U.S. Army Air Forces.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the war, he returned to Arkansas to design the Fine Arts Center at UA, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Medical Center in Little Rock (Pulaski County), the Sigma Nu Fraternity house in Fayetteville, and several private residences. At the request of his childhood friend Senator J. William Fulbright, he designed a line of furniture that was manufactured by Fulbright Industries of Fayetteville in the early 1950s.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone served as visiting critic at the state’s first school of architecture, which opened in 1947 at UA as part of the College of Engineering. He helped the school obtain accreditation and employed many of its students in his New York office. Fay Jones, a member of the school’s first graduating class, credited Stone’s friendship for showing him what an architect from Arkansas could accomplish in the wider world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone’s first marriage ended in divorce. In 1954, he wed Maria Elena Torchio, and they had a son and a daughter. This marriage coincided with a change in his architecture. Austere modernism was replaced by the ornate formality exemplified by his design of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India. The embassy’s admirers included Frank Lloyd Wright, who called it “the only embassy that does credit to the United States.” For the next twenty years, Stone designed buildings intended to reflect universal and timeless values rather than the “transient enthusiasms” of modernism.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone’s principal works include El Panama Hotel in Panama City, Panama; Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, California; the U.S. Pavilion at the World’s Fair in Brussels, Belgium; the Gallery of Modern Art in New York City; the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington DC; the State University of New York at Albany, New York; the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC; the General Motors building in New York City; and the National Assembly and Presidential Palace in Islamabad, Pakistan.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Stone’s second marriage also ended in divorce. He married Violet Campbell Moffat in 1972, and they had a daughter. Stone retired from active practice in 1974. The next year, he donated his professional papers and drawings to UA.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone died on August 6, 1978, in New York City after a brief illness. His ashes were interred in Fayetteville’s Evergreen Cemetery, beside the graves of his parents and his brother.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stone’s early buildings are important examples of modern architecture, but some critics dismissed his later works. In their view, Stone became a “conveyor of banality” who produced “a plague of dreadful buildings.” Others praise him for breaking from the mainstream and seeking to restore a sense of history to architecture.</div><br />

<b>Union of Pioneers of Yugoslavia</b><br />
<i>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</i><br />
<br />
The Union of Pioneers of Yugoslavia (Serbo-Croatian: Savez pionira Jugoslavije; Slovenian: Zveza pionirjev Jugoslavije (ZPJ)) was the pioneer movement of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Its members were children between ages 7 and 15.<br />
<br />
The uniforms consisted of red scarves as well as navy blue hats called Titovka. These hats were sometimes white, and bore a red star on the front. A white shirt was often worn with the Pioneer scarf (marama) and the Titovka, although this varied depending on which part of Yugoslavia the particular pioneer was from. Boys often wore navy blue shorts or pants, and girls wore skirts in the same color, along with white stockings and black shoes. On special occasions, such as a visit from Josip Broz Tito, Pioniri sometimes wore traditional costumes from their native regions of Yugoslavia.<br />
<br />
The organization was founded on December 27, 1942. It was a substructure within the Socialist Youth Union of Yugoslavia. It published Male Novine. The organization was divided into younger pioneers (7–11 years) and older pioneers (11–15 years).<br />
<br />
Typically, the induction ceremony took place in school for children aged 7 in the autumn of their first year in school, as part of the Republic Day (November 29) celebrations. The youngest generation that undertook it was born in 1983 and became Pioneers in 1990. The text of Yugoslav Pioneer pledge (pionirska zakletva) may have varied slightly from one school to another. The Pledge in Serbo-Croatian (words pronounceable in more than one way in Serbo-Croatian are presented in a Croatian pronunciation/Serbian pronunciation format):<br />
<br />
<i>Danas, kada postajem pionir,</i><br />
<i>dajem časnu pionirsku riječ/reč -</i><br />
<i>da ću marljivo učiti i raditi,</i><br />
<i>poštovati roditelje i starije,</i><br />
<i>i biti vjeran/veran i iskren drug,</i><br />
<i>koji drži datu riječ/reč.</i><br />
<i>Da ću voljeti/voleti našu domovinu, samoupravnu</i><br />
<i>socijalističku federativnu republiku Jugoslaviju,</i><br />
<i>da ću razvijati bratstvo i jedinstvo</i><br />
<i>i ideje za koje se borio drug Tito.</i><br />
<i>Da ću cijeniti/ceniti sve ljude svijeta/sveta koji žele slobodu i mir!</i><br />
<br />
In English:<br />
<i>Today, as I become a Pioneer,</i><br />
<i>I give my Pioneer's word of honor -</i><br />
<i>That I shall study and work diligently,</i><br />
<i>respect parents and my seniors,</i><br />
<i>and be a loyal and honest friend.</i><br />
<i>That I shall love our homeland, self-managed</i><br />
<i>socialist federal republic of Yugoslavia.</i><br />
<i>That I shall spread brotherhood and unity</i><br />
<i>and the principles for which comrade Tito fought.</i><br />
<i>And that I shall value all peoples of the world who respect freedom and peace!</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
