Democratization Push in Slovenia Still Subject to Strict Limitations
$40 million question
The Cleveland Plain Dealer was among many newspapers last Friday to note the efforts in Slovenia to proclaim a new Political party. More than 1.000 persons jammed into the hall of the modernistic Can-knrjev Dom in the center of Ljubljana to attend the birth °f this new party, which is to he called the Slovene Social Democratic Union and plans to try to remain independent of the Communist Party, the only legal political party in yugoslavia, and of the Socialist Alliance, a front organization which serves as an umbrella through which the Com-tuunist Party controls all other organized groups in the country, with the exception of the Catholic Church.
The authorities in Slovenia have been very tolerant in terms of allowing a plethora of groups to arise, ranging from those promoting protection of the environment to quasi-political entities. These can con-t'nue to function so long as they agree to come within the framework of the Socialist Alliance. The line is drawn at groups which want to remain outside the Alliance.
It was this independence ^hich the new Social Demo-cratic Union sought to retain. At first, the police threatened to break up the meeting. A klnd of compromise was Cached by which the new par-ty would “temporarily” join lhe Alliance.

The program of the SSDU calls for the establishment of parliamentary democracy, an end to the single-fiarty system and membership by Yugoslavia in the European Economic Community. Its program also seeks a reduction in the strength of the armed forces, recognition of the right of conscientious objection and the creation of free trade unions.
Excellent Analysis Those who attended thepre-sentation about the situation in Slovenia given by Maribor University President Alojz Križman last Saturday at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Avenue were treated to a remarkably cogent analysis which emphasized the enormous problems confronting the country and yet also conveyed the determination of the Slovene people to overcome these obstacles.
Yugoslav Consul to Speak Matjaž Jančar, the Yugoslav Consul General in Cleveland, will speak at the University of Toledo on Tuesday, March 7, on the topic “Yugoslavia Today.” The event is sponsored by the Dept, of History and the Phi Alpha Theta history honorary and will be from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. at Mc-Master Hall 4009. It is public.

Stane J. Kuhar
by Stane J. Kuhar
Approximately two weeks ago the Voinovich Administration presented to the major media a plan to consolidate several safety and service facilities from their current various locations in the city of Cleveland, to one location.
The location is the old Warner & Swasey facility located on East 55th Street and Carnegie Avenue. A portion of this proposal includes the relocation of the current Third District Police Station, located at East 21st Street to the East 55th Street location, a part of the Fifth Police District.
Therefore, a central location for Third District residents will be moved to a mainly industrial area where there are not many residents nor is there an easy means to get to the Third District.
The consolidation plan will involve the spending of an estimated $43 million dollars as a bond issue. This “floating” of a bond issue means that a company will search, on behalf of the city of Cleveland, in the open marketplace those investors (either private, corporate, and/or institutions) willing to provide monies for said bonds; and in return receive a certain amount of interest income for purchasing said bonds.
Therefore, the actual cost of issuing these bonds will cost more than the $43 million proposed for the plan. Of course, if any investor does not believe in the ability of a political entity (in this case the city of Cleveland) to repay the said investor, the funding for such a project will not occur.
A Townhall meeting vv/7/take place on March 2, at the Plumbers Hall, located at East 30th and Payne Avenue, at 7 p.m. to voice whatever concerned Ward 13 and affected residents may have about this proposal, plus the removal of the Third District to East 55th Street and Carnegie Avenue. Mayor Voinovich and his staff will be present to explain the plan.
Of major importance to Ward 13 and affected residents are the following:
1) Is this the best method of using $43 million while other needs and concerns, such as updating recreational facilities and providing basic public services, such as a mini-fire station, which have been begging for Ward 13 residents?
2)	What are the alternatives for this location?
3)	Why have three fire stations been closed over the past decade for our community while funding will now be available for this project?
These and other questions should be asked of Mayor Voinovich and his staff by residents since it will be your property taxes (local) and income tax (Municipal) that will be paying for this project.
Your input is important as it will be a means to communicate to Mayor Voinovich and his staff your concerns and what the priorities of this area so close to downtown are.
This writer cannot stress enough the importance of this event and the hope residents behave in a dignified and civilized manner. Yelling, screaming, and other such forms of expressing our feelings will only cast a negative image to the public-at-large. We should come away from the meeting with concrete and substantia) results between ourselves and the mayor.
If you do not have a means of attending this meeting with the Mayor, please contact Councilman Gus Frangos (or his office) at 664-2691 or 291-6383 to arrange a ride.
If you cannot physically attend this event, please contact the mayor’s office at 664-2220 and express your concerns.
Kuhar Speaks Out on AIDS Protection
The fact that condoms will not stop the spread of AIDS was upheld by the president of Pharmacists for Life Bogomir M. Kuhar, P.D., in the magazine Drug Topics recently.
“The message that a thin piece of latex will allow anyone to feel ‘safe’ from the AIDS plague is intellectual dishonesty and borders on criminal,” Kuhar said. “With the knowledge that condoms fail in 10 percent to 30 percent of heterosexual encounters and as much as 50 percent in homosexual encounters, pharmacists would be remiss in not telling patients that the use of condoms is nothing less than a form of Russian roulette.” Kuhar emphasized that the only way to stop the spread of AIDS is to remain chaste outside of marriage and to remain faithful within marriage.
“Such a challenge means a behavioral change for many people — a worthy endeavor given the dramatic and lethal effects of AIDS,” Kuhar said.

Brook Park, Ohio
We have lost an unusually high number of well known and lesser known Slovenians in the past two to three months. Among them, the Slovenian community lost a clergyman, and several professional people. I would say they have made the world a better place to live.
Rev. Joseph Ce^snik was a priest of God for over 53 years, and was a son of St. Vitus parish. He and Msgr. Louis B. Baznik, another son of St. Vitus parish, were ordained at the same time, and sang their first Masses on the same day at St. Vitus back in April of 1935. Rev. Joe and his family formerly lived on East 61st St., and was Pastor Emeritus of St. Christime Church, Euclid, Ohio, for about 10 years. His nephew, Rev. Frank Sterk, is now pastor there, having replaced the ailing Rev. Francis Paik.
Herman A. Marolt was an attorney and former Assistant County Prosecutor. He didn’t have a chance to enjoy retirement, and was called by his Creator at age 63. Herman was not a big man but he made a name for himself as a speedster halfback for Cathedral Latin High School and Western Reserve University’s football teams in the thirties and forties. He had a nice personality, and we talked quite a bit about the old days when he came to our office back in May of last year.
It was ironic that his mother, Julia, who operated March’s Cafe on E. 71 St., died during the Easter Holidays and her son left us during the Christmas Holidays.
Herman entered the political arena, but was unsuccessful in several tries for Judgeships. However, he had his law practice, and was a very popular attorney.
Anthony Orazem (Tony O.)
was in retirement from ALCOA where he had a good position in the engineering field for many years. Tony was a good looking curly blond haired bachelor and active in sports. He was one of the star softball pitchers for the St. Vitus “Orels” back in the early thirties in the Interlodge League. Later he was a low eighties golfer, and carried a bowling average of

BY Dan J. Postotnik
about 185. Tony was a devout Catholic and a daily communicant.
Joseph Ferra was one of the top fraternalists in the Slovenian Community. He held lodge offices in the KSKJ and AMLA fraternals for many years, and was very active in many other organizations including the Slovenian Home on Holmes Ave. Mr. Ferra did much for St. Mary’s Church, too. He will be long remembered for his energetic activities for the good of his community and his church.
Frank (Tino) Modic retired to Florida some 10 years ago after operating taverns in the St. Clair area. He was born and raised in the E. 55th St. Clair neighborhood. Tino operated the tavern in the Grdina building which housed Twilight Gardens at one time, and today is occupied by Sheliga Drug Store. Later, he operated Tino’s Bar across the street for many years and many of us will remember the Jam Sessions held there by top polka musicians. Tino and his wife celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary last year.
Joseph Gornick had a joke for everyone, and a happy disposition. I suppose he will be missed most by yours truly as we came in contact with each other at various events. He was especially'adept at telling Irish and Scotch jokes, and imitated the brogues perfectly. Joe was in the political arena all of his life, and held many important jobs, such as Deputy Sheriff, Driver License Examiner, and Highway Truck Weigh checker. He was a world traveler, and wrote many articles about his trips in the Ameriška Domovina. Joe was a regular winter visitor to the sunshine state of Florida.

the Slovenian church choir at St. Vitus, Joži had a beautiful contralto voice* and was a fine soloist. She had the rare ability to make you laugh continuously.
Apolonija Košir was the widowed mother of many children, and lost four, yes, four sons in the Communist Revolution in Slovenia during World War II. Imagine the cruel blow this mother suffered - losing four of her beloved sons!
Marija Božnar of Canada, was the proud mother' of a priest son, Rev. Joseph Božnar, who today is the pastor of St. Vitus Church.
And Louise Železnik was the mother of the entertaining singing sisters of yesteryear, Lillian, Jean Turk, pnd Josepha Strauss; also the mother of their younger sister, Mary Železnik.
To the families of all these beloved departed, we extend our deepest sympathy. May the Lord richly reward them for all the good they did on this earth!

- PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV -
Senatni odbor zavrnil Johna Towerja —
Vsi republikanski člani za potrditev, vsi
demokrati proti — Izid v senatu negotov
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sinoči je senatni odbor za vojaške zadeve glasoval proti potrditvi bivšega načelnika tega odbora, Johna Towerja, za obrambnega sekretarja v Bushevi administraciji. Glasovanje je bilo 9 za Towerja in 11 proti. Vsi, ki so bili za Towerja, so republikanci, vsi, ki so glasovali proti, pa sc demokrati. Tako odbor ne bo svetoval celotnemu senatu, naj potrdi Towerja. Zavrnitev Towerja v odboru pomeni hud politični udarec predsedniku Bushu, ki je trenutno na obisku na Japonskem, kjer je pa izjavil, da Towerja še podpira in računa na zmago, ko bo senat sam razpravljal in nato glasoval o Towerju.
Ključno vlogo je igral v senatnem odboru njegov načelnik, sen. Sam Nunn (D.-Ga.). Tower je zmeren konservativec in je zelo spoštovan pri svojih kolegih, tako demokratih kot republikancih, liberalcih kot konservativcih. Znano je tudi, da je Bush ponudil mesto obrambnega sekretarja v njegovi vladi ravno Nunnu, a je ta odklonil. Šele nato je prišel na vrsto John Tower. Nunn je dejal sinoči, da ima resne dvome o Towerjevi sposobnosti za tako izredno odgovorno mesto. Senatni odbor je namreč dobil zelo veliko podatkov, ki so kazali na Towerjevo vdanost pijači v preteklosti, prav tako so bile trditve o njem. da je ženskar. Senatorje motijo tudi Towerjevi tesni odnosi s podjetji, ki prodajajo orožje in drugo opremo obrambnemu tajništvu.
Prihodnji teden bo senat sam razpravljal o Towerju in utegne biti razprava zelo burna. Ako držijo demokratski senatorji skupaj, bo Tower propadel, kajti razpolagajo demokrati z večino. Med nekaterimi pa prevladuje mnenje, da vendar ima predsednik pravico imenovati in imeti potrjene tiste, ki jih želi imeti. Izjeme naj bi bile torej redke *n takšne, v katerih sploh ne more biti dvoma, da je predlagani kandidat ali nezmožen ali osebno nesprejemljiv. Mnogi dvomijo, da spada Tower v to kategorijo, kljub vsem negativnim mnenjem o njem in njegovi osebni morali. Predsednik Bush je namreč videl iste podatke, ki so bili posredovani senatorjem, m je prišel do popolnoma drugačne zaključke. Nihče pa nima dvomov glede Bushove osebne poštenosti.
Tower je že rekel, da ne bo umaknil svoje kandidature za obrambnega sekretarja, Bush pravi, da bo podpiral do izida senatnega glasovanja. Važno bo v naslednjih dneh, ali se bodo posamezni republikanci pridružili demokratom ali obratno, ali bodo nekateri demokratski senatorji izjavili, da bodo za Towerja glasovali. Ako bo glasovanje v sa-^em senatu po strankini pripadnosti, bo To-vver gotovo zavrnjen. Nekateri politični komentatorji že razmišljajo o kandidatih za °brambno tajništvo, ako bo Tower propadel. Med možnimi kandidati naj bi bil bivši obrambni sekretar in bivši kongresnik iz llli-noisa, Donald Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld bi goto-Vo ne imel težav glede senatne potrditve.
^ush se bo aktivno zanimal za pospeševanje mirovnega procesa na Srednjem vzhodu —
ZDA želijo omejiti sovjetsko vlogo
TOKIO, Ja. — Včeraj je bil pogreb japonskega cesarja Hirohita. Pogreba se je udeležilo zelo veliko državnikov iz vseh kon-Cev in krajev sveta. Navzoč je bil tudi pred-Sednik George Bush, ki je izkoristil nekaj-
dnevno bivanje na Japonskem za osebna srečanja z mnogimi državnimi voditelji. Bush se je srečal med drugim z egipskim predsednikom Hosnijem Mubarakom, predsednikom Izraela Chaima Herzoga, in jordanskim kraljem Huseinom. Beseda pri teh srečanjih je tekla predvsem o iskanju trajnega miru na Srednjem vzhodu. Tako je bil Bushov pogovor z Mubarakom najbolj zanimiv za predsednika, kajti se je Mubarak pred dnevi srečal s sovjetskim zunanjim ministrom Ševardna-zdejem.
Po teh srečanjih je Bush dejal, da sc odpirajo nove možnosti za iskanje miru na Srednjem vzhodu, čeprav ni hotel v podrobnosti o tem, katere so te možnosti. ZDA pa se zanimajo v naslednji fazi predvsem za neposredne stike med Palestinci in Izraelci. Državni sekretar James Baker je rekel, da bodo ZDA zelo previdne v svojih stikih s PLO. Bush in Baker sta dejala, da želijo ZDA videti aktivnejšo in konstruktivnejšo vlogo ZSSR na tem območju, vendar želijo tudi, da bi bila ta vloga omejena. Po svojem srečanju z voditeljem PLO Jasirjem Arafatom v Kairu, je Ševardnadze dejal, da ZSSR podpira mednarodno mirovno konferenco o Srednjem vzhodu, ki bi bila pod sponzorstvom Združenih narodov.
Jutri odpotuje Bush na Kitajsko, kjer bo do nedelje zvečer, ko bo poletel v Južno Korejo, kjer bo med drugim govoril na zasedanju parlamenta. V ZDA se bo vrnil v ponedeljek zvečer.
— Kratke vesti —
Washington, D.C. — Sodni proces zoper polk. Oliverja Northa zaradi njegovega sodelovanja v Iran-Contra aferi sedaj redno poteka, trajal pa bo več mesecev. Prvi priči, ki ju je zasliševal tožilec, sta bila kongresnik Lee Hamilton in vodilna osebnost gibanja Contras, Adolfo Calero. Ta dva naj bi govorila o Northovem obnašanju v času, ko je služil kot član Sveta za nacionalno varnost v Beli hiši. Northova obramba trdi, da je North vedno deloval z vednostjo predsednika Reagana in zaradi tega ni kriv nobenega protizakonitega dejanja.
Washington, D.C. — Senatni odbor za
finance je glasoval 19 za in 0 proti za senatno potrditev Louisa Sullivana za sekretarja tajništva za zdravstvo in socialno skrbstvo v Bushovi vladi. Sullivan je namreč imel neprijetne trenutke med zasliševanjem pred odborom, ker so imeli nekateri konservativci dvome o tem, ali Sullivan res odločno nasprotuje splavu. Sullivan, ki je edini črnec v Bushovi administraciji, je rekel, da res nasprotuje splavu v vseh primerih razen, ko je splav potreben za rešitev življenje nosečnice ter v slučajih, ko je nosečnost posledica posilstva ali krvoskrunstva.
Dunaj, Avstrija — V letalski nesreči je bil ubit član avstrijske vlade Alfred Dallin-ger, ki je načeloval ministrstvu za socialne zadeve. Letalo je padlo v jezero Constance blizu švicarsko-avstrijske meje. V nesreči je umrlo 11 oseb. Potapljači so našli razbitine letala.
Washington, D.C. — Včeraj je pravosodno tajništvo pozvalo Vrhovno sodišče, naj sodniki razveljavijo odločitev iz leta 1973, po katerem je bil dovoljen splav. Ta odločitev, znana kot Roe vs. Wade, je zaradi konservativnejšega razpoloženja na Vrhovnem sodišču primerna za razveljavitev ali vsaj temeljito spremembo oziroma omejitev.

Neprijeten pričevalec za Vzhod in Zahod
Pred 40 leti se je 3. februarja 1949 pričel v Budimpešti lažni proces, ki ga je uprizoril stalinistični režim zoper pogumnega pričevalca vere in neustrašnega branilca pravic Cerkve kardinala Josefa Mindszentyja, primasa madžarske Cerkve in nadškofa v Ostrogonu. Bila je to doba, ko so po vseh vzhodnih državah uprizarjali procese zoper predstavnike Cerkve in se je zdelo, da je Cerkev za Železno zaveso določena za uničenje. Tedaj so prišli pred komunistične sodnike tudi trije kardinali: Wyszynski na Poljskem, Stepi-nac v Jugoslaviji in Mindszenty na Ogrskem. Po zadnjem so udarili najbolj močno, saj so ga mučili ne samo telesno, temveč strli tudi duševno.
Proces proti madžarskemu kardinalu se je zaključil pet dni kasneje 8. februarja z obsodbo na dosmrtno ječo. V zaporu je nato preživel sedem let, osmo pa v hišnem zaporu na gradu Telsopeteyny. Tu so ga 30. oktobra 1956 ob madžarski vstaji osvobodili kmetje, po večini kalvinci, saj je bil tudi zanje simbol odpora proti komunizmu in želje po svobodi ter ga zmagoslavno prepeljali v Budimpešto, kjer ga je svečano sprejela nova vlada Imreja Nagyja, a že štiri dni nato je bilo njegove svobode konec. Vdor sovjetskih čet v prestolnico Madžarske ga je prisilil, da se je zatekel v severnoameriško veleposlaništvo in tam ostal do julija 1971, ko je na »povabilo« (bil je dejansko ukaz) papeža Pavla VI. zapustil svojo domovino in se po kratkem bivanju v Rimu naselil na Dunaju.
Znano je, da je kardinal Mindszenty na proslulem procesu vse priznal, česar so ga dolžili. Obtožil je samega sebe trgovanja s tujo valuto in protidržavne dejavnosti. Seveda je bilo vsem v tujini jasno, da so bila vsa njegova priznanja izsiljena. Sam kasneje v svojih spominih pripoveduje:
»Kdor ni šel skozi preiskovalni zapor na ulici Andrassy v Budimpešti, si sploh ne more predstavljati grozot tega zasliševanja. Trideset dni so me zasliševali, mučili na živem telesu in duševno, trije zdravniki so mi z injekcijami skušali ohromiti voljo in zatemniti razum; člani zloglasne tajne policije Rakossijevega režima, »Avo« imenovane, so se znesli nad menoj na najbolj prostaške in prefinjene načine. Tako sem podpisal vse, kar so želeli.«
A tudi v tistih trenutkih je ohranil prisotnost duha. Svojemu podpisu je dodal skrivnostni črki C.F. Zaman so se sodniki ubadali z njih pomenom. Bili sta začetnici dveh latinskih besed: »Coactus feci« (Storil sem to prisiljen). Sicer pa je kardinal že 26. decembra 1948, malo časa pred aretacijo, zapisal v svoj dnevnik: »Ce bi se zgodilo, da bom neke stvari potrdil ali podpisal, vedite, da je vse to lažno in se je to zgodilo v trenutku človeške slabosti.«
Sicer pa ni bilo prvič, da se je Mindszenty znašel v zaporu. Prvič se je to zgodilo že leta 1919 za časa polletne komunistične vladavine Bela Kuna. Leta 1 944 ko so ga, hitro po škofovskem posvečenju, aretirali Nemci, ker je odločno obsodil uničevanje Judov, na deportacijo, si je na-
Na zadnji prosvetni uri smo se od srca smejali duhovitim šalam in uživali prekrasno petje, da nam je ura minula naenkrat in nepričakovano.
Kakor vsako leto, tako smo tudi letos februarsko prosvetno uro posvetili zdravemu humorju, šaljivim zgodbam in kratkim šalam. Samo eno izjemo smo si dovolili! In nam ni bilo žal! Nasprotno, presrečni smo bili, da nas je obiskala in nam zapela dve pesmi svetovno znana slovenska pevka Bernarda Fink Inzko. Dve njeni pesmi sta bili več vredni, kot vse druge točke sporeda, čeprav niso bile slabe.
Spored je začela mlada umetnica, ljubka Vanessa Solar. Kakor vselej je tudi tokrat z virtuoznostjo igrala na klavirju »Moon River«.
Za njo je nastopila Helka Puc Clement. Recitirala je jasno in z občutkom duhovito zgodbo »Lena lepotica«, ki nam opisuje, kako je razvajena deklica našla vse vrste izgovorov, da ji ni bilo treba delati. Dodala je pesem »Boter jež«, ki nam pove, kako je najprej pohrustal vse ščurke, nato pa še miši, kar seveda mačku ni bilo všeč, a ni mogel nič narediti.
Tone Jenko in žena Marjanca sta nato recitirala razgovor, ki naj bi ga po Andyja Roo-neyja verziji imela naš predsednik in angleška kraljica.
Tone je dodal še nekaj šal iz slovenskega humorja. Navajam dve:
Dva prijatelja sta stavila, kdo bo povedal večjo laž. Reče prvi: »Bila je nekoč žena, ki ni nikoli vprašala moža za denar.« Drugi ga prekine: »Dovolj... dovolj... zmagal si, večje laži jaz ne vem.«
Druga šala. Slovenec: »Na živce mi gre, ko vidim, da imajo moški dolge lase in tesne hlače kakor ženske. Sedel sem v restavraciji, ko je prišlo notri mlado dekle. Obrnil sem se do ženske, ki je sedela pri sosednji mizi in rekel: »Ali ni žalostno, da izgledajo danes fantje, kakor bi bili dekleta?« »To je moj sin! je rekla soseda in pokazala na deklico.
»Oprostite!« sem rekel, »nisem vedel, da ste vi njegova mati.«
»Saj tudi nisem!« je osorno odgovorila, »jaz sem njegov oče!«
Naša oboževana pevka Bernarda Fink Inzko je nato zapela slovensko pesem »Uspavanka« in argentinsko pesem »Tango«. Pela je brez sprem-
ljave. Vse je utihnilo... Celo naši najmlajši, ki se sicer vedno oglašajo, so utihnili in prisluhnili. Posvetili smo ji vso pozornost in napeto sledili njenemu divnemu petju. Ni čuda, da jo hoče slišati ves svet! Pred kratkim je bila na turneji po Japonskem in Švici. Rodila se je v Argentini od slovenskih staršev in je poročena z zavednim koroškim Slovencem, avstrijskim diplomatom dr. Zdravkom Inzko. O, ko bi jo mogli večkrat slišati! Kadar je v New Yorku, pride z možem vedno v našo slovensko cerkev.
In njeno petje je bilo višek sporeda!
Drugi del so začele Vodnikove punčke. Najmlajša Vesna je deklamirala pesem »Sneženi mož«, Breda je igrala na klavirju »Jager pa jaga« in Jožica »Jesen je tukaj«. Neverjetno, kaj more ena skrbna mamica naučiti svoje hčerke!
Ko je šel proti odru prof. Peter Remec, smo iz njegovega obnašanja vedeli, da nam bo povedal nekaj takega, kar je njemu in nam všeč. In to je storil!
Najprej nam je recitiral originalno slovensko ljudsko zgodbo »Večni čevljar«. Ko je prenočil in pogostil Kristusa in Petra, mu je Kristus obljubil, da se bo tisti, ki bo sedel na stol v njegovi delavnici, mogel dvigniti iz stola le, če mu bo on dovolil. In ko je prišla ponj starka smrt, jo je pustil na stolu toliko časa, da mu je obljubila, da ne bo več prišla ponj.
Nato nam je na njemu svojstven način podal nekaj kratkih šal. Na primer:
Ženin: »Končno mi boste le dali roko svoje hčerke!«
Oče: »Roko ja, a nič v njej!«
Sosed: »Kako pa da si dal svojo hčerko Janezu? Saj ste se vendar sovražili?« Oče: »Vprav zato! ... Tako bo dobil za taščo mojo ženo!«
Srečen mož, ki zasluži več, kakor žena potroši...
Še bolj srečna pa je žena, ki takega moža najde.
Tone: »Peter, poglej, kako se Kalanu zdeha!«
Peter: »Tone, pusti ga, naj zdeha. On je poročen kot midva. Vsi trije vemo, da sme poročen mož odpreti usta samo, kadar se mu zdeha.«
Jaz res ne vem, kakšen je moj zdravnik. Zadnjič sem ga vprašal za drugo mnenje (»second opinion«) in mi je poslal
del škofovska oblačila, poklical k sebi vse svoje bogoslovce in v slovesnem sprevodu odšel iz stolnice v Veszpremu v bližini Blatnega jezera.
Iz protesta do nacističnega nasilja je zavrgel svoj nemški priimek Pehm (kar pomeni Bohm, t.j. Ceh) in si nadel novega po svojem rojstnem kraju Csehimindszent, kar pomeni Naselje vseh svetnikov. Ko je leta 1 946 postal nadškof v Ostrogonu ob Donavi in s tem primas Ogrske, je takoj s prižnice začel nastopati zoper ateizacijo svoje domovine, ki jo je sprožil stalinist Rakossi. In ko je slednji nacionaliziral vse katoliške šole, je ukazal žalno zvenenje po vseh katoliških cerkvah. Zavedal se je sicer, da v spopadu z brezbožnim re-

dva računa.
Sledila sta mu Marija Zupan in Vinko Burgar (Nejče je šel rajši z otroci v Cleveland obiskat starše). Recitirala sta ameriški humor. Marija v angleščini, Vinko v slovenščini. Bila sta res dobra in če je Vinko potegnil kako besedo malo po ribniško, je bil uspeh še večji. Navajam nekaj najboljših:
Angleškemu jeziku pravimo materni jezik ... ker pride oče redko do besede.
Ko je bil Churchill v New Yorku, ga je takole ocenil: »Časopisi predebeli, toaletni papir pretenek.«
»Kljub vsem tvojim napakam, Peter,« je rekla, »sem te ljubila od trenutka, ko sva se prvič srečala.« »Neumnost,« je rekel Peter, »če bi me res ljubila, bi poročila koga drugega.«
Bob Hope pravi: »Harry Truman vlada državo z železno roko — in na tisti način igra klavir.« Harry odgovarja: »Ce bi ne postal predsednik, bi bil verjetno igralec klavirja v kaki javni hiši.«
Vinko je nato dodal še humor našega Brooklynskega Jožeta. Evo ga!
Ko se je poročila zadnja Babnikova hčerka Anki, je Jože vprašal očeta: »Kaj boš pa zdaj počel, Tone? Fantje so vsi na svoje, zadnjo hčerko si oddal, hiša je prazna!
»Zdaj bom znova začel,« je odgovoril Tone.
»Ti misliš: Jovo na novo!«
»Ne Jovo, Tone na novo!«
»Kaj bomo pa z denarjem počeli?« je vprašal Matija cerkvenega knjigovodjo Karla. »V banki imamo več kot $60.000!«
»Kaj bomo počeli? ... Nič! Novih 60 tisoč bomo zbrali!« je odgovoril Karl.
Andrej je vprašal Simiča: »Jože, ti si predsednik Društva Najsvetejšega Imena. Kako da se ti župnik v letnem poročilu ni zahvalil za tvoje delo?«
Simič: »Vprašaj Kalana! On vodi prosvetne ure, pa se mu tudi ni zahvalil. Zato je sklenil, da bo pustil ure in začel pometati po cerkvi. Jaz bom pa pustil društvo in začel pometati po farovžu. Tako bova prihodnje leto deležna pohvale.«
»Tone, ali veš, da sta se Jože Simič in Tone Osovnik ponudila Fantom na vasi, da jim pomagata?« je vprašal Janez.
»Pomagata?« je vprašal Tone, »saj nista pevca.«
»Nositi kufre!« je pojasnil Janez.
Zaključila je uro Elizabeta Solar. Na klavirju je igrala »Moonocture«.
Naši prosvetarji imajo smisel za šalo in so veseli, ko se drug iz drugega norčujemo-Pametni ljudje! Dobra šala je več vredna kot kozarec vina. so rekli na Gorenjskem. Dolenjci so se pa šalili in ga pil'-Dr. Zdravko Kal®11
Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
798. Misijonsko kosilo MZA Cleveland
je v dvorani sv. Vida 12. februarja zelo lepo uspelo. Obširno vabilo nanj smo opazili tudi v angleškem delu AD, kar je gotovo privabilo več misijonskih prijateljev. Predsednica ga. Marica Lavriševa, ki nam je poslala nedavno lepo število intencij za naše misijonarje od raznih misijonskih dobrotnikov, je sporočila na dan kosila zvečer, da so imeli tale uspeh:
Čistega za naše misijonarje in misijonarke se je nabralo $6310 iz teh postavk: Darov je bilo $2061; maček v Žaklju in ročna dela $484.05; pecivo $363.30; krofi $300; pijača $57 •n za rože so dobili $25.50. Račune so isti dan že vse plačali, razen najem dvorane, ki še ni bil poravnan in je bil lani $300.
Cim dobimo podrobnejše poročilo, ga bomo objavili v kolikor ne bo predsednica Lavriševa sama že v AD poročala. Naj Bog vsem, ki so k uspehu spet pripomogli, obilno povrne!
Ga. Angela Železnik je trenutno na zdravljenju v West Bay Manor, na 27601 Westchester Parkway, Westlake, OH 44145. Je to »Nursing Home«.
Neimenovana dobrotnica je poslala še $200 iz New Yorka, za vzdrževanje bogoslovca za nadškofa Šuštarja v Ljubljani. Tako je v celoti dala $1200. Bog povrni!
Od MZA Gilbert, Minnesota,
pošilja predsednica Anica Tusharjeva več misijonskih pisem iz terena, v katerih se po-
zamezniki in posameznice zahvaljujejo za prejeto pomoč MZA za 1988.
Ga. Mary Pirjevec je darovala drugi obrok za vzdrževan-ca-bogoslovca Patricka Ekeja $300. Družina Johna in Anice Tushar pa za tretji obrok za bogoslovca Johna Kuziona $300. Nabavila je tudi dva čeka nanovo: za g. Pedra Opeka z Madagaskarja, ki je nekje na počitnicah v zaledju, $500. Za o. Janeza Mujdric^> v Zambiji za 100 sv. maš je vzela ček za $500.
19. januarja piše misijonar Pavel Bernik (gl. slike spodaj, op. pisca), da je večkrat na potovanju. Zahvaljuje se in pošilja potrdilo za prejeti ček MZA v znesku $1000; pol od tega je za 100 sv. maš, ki jih bo z veseljem opravil. Glede zdravja se z 72. leti ne more pritoževati. Po dobro .uspeli operaciji na desnem očesu sedaj kar dobro vidi. Cita in piše brez težave. Piše iz Dimapur, Indija.
Z Madagaskarja se zahvaljuje za pomoč MZA $500 usmiljenka Terezija Pavlič. Darilo bodo uporabile sestre za delavce na rižnem polju. Lep kos neobdelane zemlje okrog misijonske hiše so obdelale in z rižem !4 zasadile. Riž je krasno kazal, pa so se že veselile, da ne bo treba toliko po trgovinah riž kupovati. Prišel je hud dež s ciklonom in povodenj je odnesla polovico sadik, ostale pa so pod vodo. Prva setev je tako uničena. Treba bo začeti na novo. Pogum ni upadel, ker je došli ček pripo-
mogel k optimizmu. Takole nadaljuje:
»Drugače se počasi privajam novemu okolju, navadam, podnebju in komarjem, ki jih je na izvoz. Bolnikov, dela, skrbi, pa tudi notranjega veselja ne manjka. Bog čudovito pomaga vse premostiti. Zdravje zaenkrat drži. Podnebje je boljše tu, kot v Fara-fangani. Smo pač v gorovju. Vsem dobrotnikom kličem — srečno Novo leto 1989! Božji blagoslov naj bdi nad Vami!
s. Terezija«
Iz Paragvaja se zahvaljuje za dar MZA v $100 s. Frančiška Flajšman, ki deluje po upokojitvi v bolnici. Kot bolničarka najde v tem delu veliko zadoščenja in lahko napravi za bolnike še veliko dobrega. Zdravijo navadno vse brezplačno, le tu in tam kdo kaj malega lahko plača. Pošilja tudi nekaj rabljenih znamk. Z veseljem se spominja lanskega obiska sv. očeta v deželi, čeprav sama ni mogla na srečanje, kamor je več njihovih so-sester lahko pohitelo.
Z Madagaskarja piše Janko Slabe
22.	januarja in se zahvaljuje za pomoč MZA v znesku $650 vsem dragim dobrotnikom. Poslana pomoč je šla njemu tokrat po predsednici Mariji Lavriševi. Misijonar med drugim piše:
»Še vedno se dostikrat spomnim obiska v Kanadi. Prav prijetno in koristno je bilo v vseh ozirih. Ko bi človek stvari naprej poznal, bi se lahko bolje organiziral. Morda se me bo pa za prihodnjič tudi kdo »usmilil« z avionsko karto. Bog daj!
Danes sem sprejel za kate-humene 58 pripravnikov (prva stopnja krsta). To na ljudi zelo deluje, češ, sedaj pa gre zares. Ob prihodu sester je škof zelo lepo izpeljal liturgijo samega krsta (tretja stopnja). To je na te nove katehumene močno delovalo, da so se bolj resno oprijeli učenja katekizma.
S sestrami še bivamo pod isto streho. Njihovo hišo še vedno končujemo. Ko bi imel čas, bi se o problemih med gradnjo lahko posebej razpisal. Sedaj so tukaj šele dober mesec in že začenjajo s pastoralo. Kar v veliko olajšanje mi je. Tudi ljudje so jih z velikim veseljem sprejeli. Prihodnjo nedeljo gremo vsi skupaj obiskat zadnjo podružnico, ki je še niso obiskale, potem pa si bomo delo razdelili.
Prihod sester smo slavili polna dva dni. Prvi dan je bil blagoslov hiše, sprejem Marijinih družbenic in dve odlikovanji za prizadevno delo pri cerkvi, naslednji dan pa krst odraslih, med katerimi so bili predvsem mladi, in prvo obhajilo otrok. V Matango so prišle na dan Marijinega brezmadežnega spočetja. To je red sester Marijinega brezmadežnega srca iz Diego-Suarez, ustanovljen na Madagaskarju. Posvetile naj bi se predvsem pastorali in emancipaciji žene.

Kosilo Slovenske šole pri Mariji Vnebovzeti
Šolska dvorana farne šole pri Mariji Vnebovzeti v Clevelandu je bila 26. januarja dobro zasedena in sicer na letnem kosilu Slovenske šole pri Mariji Vnebovzeti.
Otroci Slovenske šole so sodelovali pri sv. maši v cerkvi Marije Vnebovzete 26. januarja. Johanca Bajc bere berilo, ob strani je pa lektor Florjan Osredkar.
Težo vsakega kosila gotovo nosijo kuharice. Na posnetku so (z leve): Zofi Mazi, Helena Ribič, Marija Koželj, Martina Štim-pfel in Breda Ribič.

žimom ne bo uspel, a hotel je biti dosleden pričevalec svoje duhovne službe. Pričevanje, ki se je zaključilo z mučeniš-tvom in obsodbo na dosmrtno ječo.
Toda čakalo ga je še drugo mučeništvo, tako, ki ga v letih ječe ni nikdar slutil. Postal je žrtev takoim. vzhodne politike Cerkve.
Začelo se je s tem leta 1961. »Dobri« papež Janez XXIII. je začel z odpiranjem proti vzhodnemu komunističnemu bloku. Dosegel je od Hruščova spustitev ukrajinskega velikega škofa Slipyja, sprejel v Vatikanu Hruščovega zeta Adžubeja, dunajskemu kardinalu K'onigu pa naročil, naj gre v Budimpešto na severnoameriško poslaništvo in pregovori Mindszentyja, naj zaradi splošne koristi Cerkve zapusti Madžarsko in odide v tujino.
Res je Konig neprijetnega pričevalca za vero in borca zoper stalinistično nasilje obiskal v aprilu 1 963, a nič dosegel. Mindszenty je ogorčen odklonil njegov predlog, saj bi po njegovem tak odhod pomenil priznanje, da je bil svoj čas opravičeno obsojen. Zahteval je preklic obsodbe in popolno rehabilitacijo svoje osebe, na kar pa seveda Kadarjev režim v tistih časih, že zaradi velikega vzhodnega brata, ni mogel pristati.
Minilo je novih osem let, tedaj pa je prišel ukaz iz Rima: »Mindszenty naj nemudoma pride v Vatikan«. Mindszenty je ubogal s krvavečim srcem. A bolečine ni mogel skriti. Pred odhodom na tuje je dejal: »Je to najtežji križ mojega življenja.«
Takoj po odhodu je bil imenovan njegov naslednik Le-kai, poln popustljivosti do režima. Kardinala je to silno bolelo. Ni vzdržal v Rimu, naselil se je na Dunaju, da je bil bliže svoji domovini. Se vedno se je čutil primas Madžarske in pošiljal pastirska pisma svoji nekdanji duhovščini.
Leta 1975 je umrl notranje strt na posledicah pljučne embolije. Pokopali so ga v velikem Marijinem svetišču Marijinem Celju na Zgornjem Štajerskem. Tam čaka dneva, da se vrne nekega dne v znova svobodno domovino. Morda ta dan ni več tako daleč, saj se Madžarska zadnje čase vedno bolj rešuje komunističnih okovov. In če bo v tem uspela, bo to tudi zasluga neustrašenega kardinala. Njegova doslednost, njegovo pogumno pričevanje, pa njegovo mučeništvo bodo gotovo obrodili ob svojem času stoteren sad.

gaščine Janez Krmelj, škofijski duhovnik iz Polhovega gradca. Sam se mu kar premalo posvetim, ga zato pa sestre toliko bolj vneto poučujejo; jaz sem samo njegov slovar v najhujši stiski.
Mene so verjetno že pri Vas mučile amebe. Kdo ve koliko časa že, a jih nihče ni odkril. Sedaj jih počasi odpravljam, saj je to zelo trmast parazit. Najhujše je, da si še po tako odličnem spanju še vedno utrujen. Višek seveda je zelo neprijetna sluzasta driska, preko katere je ena sestra tu tudi odkrila moje nepridiprave.
Bog Vam povrni za poslani ček. Zelo prav mi bo prišel. Koliko je takih del, ko se zaradi njihove »majhnosti« nimaš kam obrniti? Potrebna pa so včasih še bolj kot kaj velikega. Ker sem se zahvalil šele na koncu, sem pa zato napisal z velikimi črkami. Bog Vam povrni tudi za vse naj lepše božične želje. Upam, da mi bo sedaj »dovoljeno poboljšati se«, saj sem dobil dodatne delovne moči in mrzlično delo z gradnjo gre proti koncu. Zelo rad bi se več posvetil študiju in pisanju, pa mi čas in amebe niso pustili. Konec koncev Velika noč že ni več daleč, zato že kar sedaj želim vsem Vam čimveč božjega blagoslova in čim globljega doživetja Kristusovega vstajenja
