PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV
Ugrabljen ameriški novinar v Bejrutu na prostosti po 11 mesecih — Pobeg mu je uspel - Sirijci potem pomagali
DAMASK, Si. — Ameriški novinar Jeremy Levin, ki je vodil bejrutski urad CNN poročevalske agencije, je bil ugrabljen od muslimanskih teroristov pred 11 meseci. Včeraj je brez kake tuje pomoči pobegnil in našel zavetišče pri sirijskih vojakih. Sirijska vlada je 52-letnega Levina izročila ameriškemu poslaniku v Damasku. V času, ko je bil Levin v rokah muslimanskih teroristov, je več vplivnih Amerikancev apelirajo na teroriste, naj Levina izpustijo. Med njimi sta bila na primer Jesse Jackson, lanski predsedniški tekmec v demokratski stranki, ter nekdanji boksarski prvak Muhammed Ali.
V intervjuju je Levin pojasnil okoliščine svojega pobega in kako je prišel v sirijske roke.. Levin je mnenja tudi, da so teroristi imeli priprte v istem stanovanjskem bloku v dolini Bekaa štiri druge osebe, ki so morda bili tudi Amerikanci. V Bejrutu oziroma Libanonu še pogrešajo namreč 4 Amerikance, med njimi tudi Rev. Lawrence Jenko, doma >z Jolieta, 111. Opazovalci libanonskih razmer menijo, da je za ugrabitev vseh Amerikancev odgovorna ista skupina teroristov.
Sen. Robert Dole meni, da bo predsednik Reagan dosegel le delni uspeh pri svojem ^	proračunskem načrtu
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Robert D°le, ki vodi republikansko večino v zveznem senatu, je dejal včeraj, da kongresniki ne bodo pripravljeni odobriti vseh predlogov Predsednika Reagana za zniževanje izdatkov za razne federalne programe v finančnem etu 1986. Predvsem želi Reagan omejevati tzdatke, ki koristijo ameriškim farmarjem in tistim, kateri imajo nizke osebne dohodke. Ker tudi ni pričakovati povišanja zveznih davkov, ni mogoče torej videti bistvenega napredka glede zmanjševanja rekordnega Primanjkljaja v zveznem proračunu, menijo opazovalci političnih razmer na kapitolskem hribu.
Načelnik zveznega proračuna, sporni avid Stockman, vodi prizadevanja Reaganove administracije za zniževanje primanj-Jaja, vendar nič ne kaže, da bo imel veliko nspeha. Stockmana so kritizirali zagovorniki mteresov obrambnega tajništva in predvsem ''ojaških veteranov, ker je Stockman dejal, a se mnogi v Pentagonu zanimajo več za ^oje čedne pokojnine kot za varnost ZDA.
ega mnenja so tudi mnogi drugi v Reagano-Vl administraciji in zveznem kongresu, nimajo pa toliko poguma, da bi to javno izrazili.
^ Pričakovati je val terorističnih napadov °ziroma atentatov na ameriške javne delavce WASHINGTON, D.C. — Robert H. uPperman, znanstvenik in član Inštituta za * rateške in mednarodne študije na univerzi oorgetown, je dejal na tiskovni konferenci, a odo postali mednarodni teroristi veliko ^ hvnejši v ZDA, bodo pa tudi pogosteje apadali ameriške diplomate in politične itelje, ko le-ti obiskujejo tuje države. uPperman je imel tiskovno konferenco v Vezi s skorajšnjo objavo posebne študije o crorizmu, ki jo je pripravil omenjeni inšti-ut- Skupine, ki bi bile sposobne takšnih apadov oz. atentatov, so Iranci, ki živijo v A, podpirajo pa politiko ajatole Homei-‘Ja. dalje libijski agenti, ki jih financira in °ntrolira Moammar Kadafi, ter celo trgov-^ z mamili iz Colombije, ki so zadnji čas e o nezadovoljni zaradi močnega ameriške-Pojasnil Kuppc
aerman.
Nekaj novega v mednarodnem terorizmu je to, je še pripomnil, da so teroristi vedno več pod neposredno ali vsaj posredno kontrolo raznih vlad. Pred leti so bile teroristične skupine izolirane in so delovale samostojno. Tega je vedno manj, je dejal Kupper-man. Na razpolago je tudi nekaj podatkov, ki pričajo o sovjetskem in vzhodnoevropskem sodelovanju z raznimi terorističnimi skupinami.
Nekatera barvila, ki jih uporablja
prehrambena industrija, so nevarna
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Mnogi znanstveniki menijo, da so nekatera barvila, ki jih na široko uporablja prehrambena in kozmetična industrija, zelo nevarna za človeka. Laboratorijski poskusi namreč potrjujejo, da ta barvila povzročajo rak na živalih, ki jih za take poskuse uporabljajo v labora-torijah. Margaret Heckler, ki vodi tajništvo za zdravstvo in socialno skrbstvo v Reaganovi administraciji, pa noče omenjenih barvil prepovedati, češ, da rezultati znanstvenih poskusov tako drastičnega ukrepa ne upravičujejo. Predstavniki prehrambene in kozmetične industrije tudi trdijo, da rezultati poskusov niso povsem zanesljivi in da bi prepoved omenjenih barvil bila hud udarec obema industrijama. Spornih je šest barvil.
Predsednik Reagan se ne bo udeležil slovesnosti v zahodni Nemčiji ob 40-letnici konca druge svetovne vojne
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Predstavnik
Bele hiše je izjavil, da se predsednik Reagan ne bo udeležil slovesnosti, ki bodo v zahodni Nemčiji ob 40. obletnici predaje nacistične Nemčije. Reagan bo v Bonnu, ZRN od 2. do 4. maja letos, kjer se bo udeležil letnega gospodarskega sestanka na vrhu, na katerem bo sodelovalo 7 najvplivnejših zahodnih držav in Japonska. Prvi predsednikov načrt je bil, da bo ostal v ZRN še 4 dni ter se udeležil omenjenih slovesnosti. Sedaj bo pa Reagan zapustil ZRN ter obiskal Francijo, kjer bo 8. maja govoril na zasedanju Evropskega parlamenta.

Bangkok, Taj. — Vietnamske enote na-
predujejejo v krajih ob meji med Kambodijo in Tajsko in zasedajo in uničujejo oporišča, ki so jih imele uporniške gverilske skupine. Kot kaže, zmagujejo Vietnamci na celi črti, gverilci so pobegnili v Tajsko ali pa so padli v srditih bojih. Opazovalci menijo, da bodo gverilci ostali aktivni, ne bodo pa zmožni več nobenih večjih akcij zoper zasedbene vietnamske enote.
Ženeva, Švi. — Sovjetski delegat na pogajanjih o razorožitvi, ki bo v tem mestu, je dejal, da bodo pogajanja kmalu prekinjena, ako bodo ZDA res nadaljevali s svojim raziskovalnem delom o obrambnem sistemu v vesolju, ki jo nekateri imenujejo »Star Wars«. Ameriški opazovalci sovjetskih političnih razmer so prepričani, da so Sovjeti pristali na obnovitev razorožitvenih pogajanj z ZDA le zaradi bojazni o možnem ameriškem napredku na tem področju. Namen sovjetske politike je prepričati ZDA, naj prenehajo s tem obrambnim načrtom.
Manila, Fi. — Požigalec je zanetil požar
v luksuznem manilskem hotelu preteklo sredo. Dva dni pozneje hotel še gori, v njem je pa našlo smrt 24 gostov oz. uslužbencev hotela. Med žrtvami je tudi najmanj 5 Amerikancev. V zadnjih 4 mesecih je bilo kar 7 požarov v hotelih na Filipinih, v požarih je pa izgubilo življenje 40 ljudi.

Zadnja zgodba o Trstu
Stopili smo v leto, ko obhajamo štiridesetletnico usodnih dogodkov ob koncu druge svetovne vojne, ko se je lomila Evropa, ko je naša domovina Slovenija padla pod komunistično diktaturo ob strahotnem spremstvu Kočevskega roga in Teharjev, in ko je izšel kot glavni zmagovalec na tej naši zemlji — Jožef Stalin. V bodočih mesecih bo gotovo dovolj zelo pomembnih dogodkov izpred 40 let, ki se jih bo vredno spomniti, jih iz te distance spet oceniti, kritično pregledati, kot njihovo posledico, današnje stanje in iskati primernih zaključkov za bodočnost.
Naj bo na tem mestu prvo objavljeno razmišljanje o dogodku, za slovenski narod in njegovo bodočnost osrednje važnosti, namreč vprašanje, zakaj in kako Slovenci nismo uspeli, da bi bili ob najbolj vsestransko, ugodnem položaju v vsej naši zgodovini, priključili pristaniško mesto Trst z okolico Sloveniji.
Glavno in najvažnejše pomorsko pristanišče stare, mogočne Avstrije, je igralo še ob začetku sedanjega stoletja vodilno vlogo pri gospodarskem razvoju ozemlja celotne podonavske kotline. Avstrija je takoj ob prvih pojavih železniškega prometa zgradila sijajno izpeljano, dvotirno železniško progo od Dunaja prek celotnega slovenskega ozemlja čez Ljubljano do Trsta — Južno železnico. S to železnico se je znatno dvignilo tudi slovensko narodno gospodarstvo, Trst se je močno približal slovenskim pokrajinam, kar je utrjevalo in razširjalo slovensko narodno prisotnost v tem mestu. Kot izrazito trgovsko mesto je bil sicer Trst narodnostno mešan s slovenskim, hrvatskim, italijanskim (bližina državne meje!) in nemškim (Avstrija!) prebivalstvom, a Slovenci so bili v tej mešanici močan in vpliven nacionalni elemen, ker je bila vfsa tržaška okolica izrazito slovenska. Ta je deloma slovenska še danes, čeprav se je po prvi vojni s priključitvijo mesta Italiji začelo načrtno preganjanje slovenskega življa in se nadaljuje vse v današnji dan.
Ne velja noben ugovor resnici, da je Trst geografsko, teritorialno, zgodovinsko in gospodarsko, pa s svojo okolico tudi nacionalno sestaven del Slovenije, se pravi, slovenskega ozemlja, v katerem se nahaja; gotovo pa v nobenem primeru ne more biti del Italije. Pridobila ga je kot plačilo za priključitev Veliki antanti v prvi vojni (londonski pakt 191 5!); ni ga s svojo močjo osvojila, bilo ji je podarjeno.
Ob koncu druge vojne, v kateri je bila Italija do svojega poloma (1943) sovražnica zahodnih zaveznikov, Jugoslavija pa njih zaveznica, se je vprašanje Trsta akutno pojavilo pri reševanju svetovne politike. Zasedli so ga Anglo-Ameri-kanci in njegova bodoča usoda je bila na tehtnici. Tedaj se je dogodilo nekaj nezaslišno odvratnega.
Politični vrhovni voditelj naroda v primorskih pokrajinah, dr. Janko Kralj, je na nesrečo Primorcev v zimi pred 40 leti umrl; v počastitev spomina na tega izrednega moža pišem o usodi Trsta že sedaj s priobčenjem dela njegovega pisma tik pred smrtjo, ki govori o Trstu. Pismo je dr. Kralj pisal iz Barija (v Italiji) dne 30. oktobra 1944 g. Francu Gabrovšku v Ameriko, kamor ga je ob napadu na Jugoslavijo I. 1941 poslala vodilna stranka v domovini (SLS), da
Hvala Vam, Korotan!
JOLIET, 111. - V soboto, drugega februarja, ob pol osmih zvečer je bila dvorana Sv. Štefana v Chicagu, 111. zopet dobro obiskana. Saj so na ta večer nastopili z odličnim koncertom Korotanci iz Clevelanda. V krasnih narodnih nošah, z veselimi, prijaznimi in nasmejanimi obrazi so stali na odru, ko se je odgrnila zavesa.
Pozdravili so nas z Aljaževo »Slovenska zemlja«, zemlja krasna. Sledila je pesem »Kadar mlado leto«, nato narodna »Meglica«, v kateri je gdč. Martina Košnik izvrstno zapela solo. »Tam kjer teče bistra Žila« je Kramolceva koroška narodna. Ta zadnja pesem je vedno priljubljena nam Slovencem, saj nas opominja, da nas je slovenska mati rodila — Slovenske pesmi pevala, ko nas je dete zibala.
Ženski zbor je zapel »Kje so tiste stezice«, nato »Svarjenje« Simona Gregorčiča in »Hrepenenje«, katero je priredil Silvo Mihelič. V duetu sta Martina Košnik in Zdenka Zakrajšek zapeli Hladnikovo »Na zeleni gori«. Pesmi je sledila toliko aplavza, da sta jo pevki ponovila — in je bila še lepša.
Moški zbor je podal pesme »Moj deklič«, »O mraku«. Sem se raj tal ženiti«, in narodno »Zakaj želiš cvetlice«.
Glasovi v mešanem zboru so
prekrasno zveneli. Vsaka beseda, vsaka pesem - tako se je zdelo - je odmevala lepše. »Al’ me boš rada imela«, sicer iz opere »Gorenjski slavček«, sta solista Mari Erdani in Nejči Slak izvrstno zapela. Sledila je pesem »Rudeči Sarafan«, katero je priredil Anton Foerster. Nato sta prišli pesmi »Triglav« Josipa Flaišmana in Kramol-cevo »Godec pod lipo«. Solo je pel Tomaž Sršen, duet pa Mari Erdani in Martina Košnik.
Z »Dober večer« in venčkom narodnih ter Slakovo »Svatje že vriskajo«, katero je za zbor priredil inž. Franček Gorenšek, in s spremljavo Alpskega seksteta, so naši gostje svoj program zaključili.
Naj poudarjam, da so nam naši prijatelji Korotanci doprinesli veliko veselja in razvedrila. Njih izgovarjava je čista, pravilna slovenščina, to kljub temu, da je v zboru veliko mladih, na ameriški zemlji rojenih članov. Vsak posebej brez izjeme zasluži pohvalo za nepozabne trenutke, ki smo jih doživeli navzoči. Enako velja njih pevovodji g. Rudiju Knezu, ki s tako globokim navdušenjem vodi zbor.
Iskrene čestitke! Naj vedno živita slovenska pesem in Korotan!

Kosilo Misijonske Znamkarske Akcije
CLEVELAND, O. - V nedeljo 24. februarja, na prvo postno nedeljo, bo zopet kosilo Misijonske Znamkarske Akcije, katerega dobiček bo dan v glavno blagajno, kar je koncem leta odposlano našim misijonarjem.
Kosilo bo na razpolago v Šolski dvorani pri Sv. Vidu od pol dvanajste do ene ure. Obsegalo bo: domača juha, govejo pečenko ali polovico pečene piške, riž, krompir, solato, kavo in domače pecivo, to vse
za $5.- za odraslo osebo, $3.-pa za otroka.
Veste pa, da je na ta dan možno dobiti lepa ročna dela, kar nam bodo darovale naše žene in dekleta, ki v teh zimskih dneh ob takem delu preživljajo večere. Imamo tudi »mačka v Žaklju«, ki prinaša veselje ali žalost, ko dobimo dar ali pa nič. Tudi rožice bo mogoče kupiti, da boste prinesli domov malo pomladnega veselja. Prosimo pa tudi za pecivo, da bo še ta stojnica
tamkaj zastopa koristi svojega naroda. Odlomek pisma o Trstu se glasi: »Dne 4. VIH. t.l. (1944) je državni podtajnik za zunanje zadeve (Italije, op. pis.) Visconti-Venosta povedal msgr. Luigi Fogarju, tit. nadškofu patraškemu (Patras): ,,Imamo trdno upanje, da bo Italija ohranila Trst kljub temu, da je premagana. Šef ital. kom. partije Togliatti, ki je član naše vlade, je na seji vlade zagotovil, da je že vplival na Stalina, naj da Titu nalog, da Jugoslavija opusti aspiracije na Trst. Z nacionalistično Jugoslavijo ne bi mogli doseči koncesij, a potom Rusije bomo Trst ohranili."
Dne 16. Vlil. je zastopnik ital. zunanjega ministrstva poklical šefe rimskih dnevnikov in jim dal sledeča navodila: Naša zunanja politika lahko pričakuje opore samo od Rusije. Ta nam je že pomagala rešiti ustavno krizo, ko je dala Togliattiju nalog, naj se problem monarhije odloži. Mi lahko ohranimo Trst samo s pomočjo Stalina, ki vpliva na Tita (podčrtal pis.).
V tem smislu je zunanje ministrstvo dalo tisku navodila, naj podčrtuje Titovo akcijo, obsoja pa Mihajloviča in druge jugoslovanske nacionaliste, glede Poljske naj piše nevtralno za Curzonovo črto in nič proti Moskvi, in naj priporoča bratstvo jadranskih narodov.« Kraljevo pismo Gabrovšku z zgoraj citirano vsebino o Trstu je bilo iz izvirnika objavljeno ob 40 letnici Kraljeve smrti dne 20. decembra 1984 v goriškem Katoliškem glasu. Je torej avtentičen dokument s popolnoma zanesljivo vsebino. Iz njega je razvidno zgodovinsko dejstvo, da je Tito izdal na Stalinov ukaz slovensko Primorsko in Trst.
Vsak komentar je odveč.

založena. Seveda bomo rabili tudi kupce za vse navedeno in lepo prosimo, da se ustavite pri teh stojnicah.
Naj Vas, ki berete te vrstice, navduši pismo misijonarja g. Klemena Štolcarja tako, da se boste odzvali vabilu in prišli na kosilo:
»Dragi prijatelji! — Prav lepa hvala za poslani denar. Bog, od katerega prihaja vsak dober dar, naj vam obilno povrne. Mi vam zagotavljamo, da se vas nenehno spominjamo v svojih skromnih molitvah in pri oltarju.
Voščiti praznike in Novo leto je malce pozno. Oprostite, sem lene sorte glede pisanja. Trenutno je pri nas tudi taka vročina, da se nam že skoro možgani kisajo. Vseeno bom opisal minule dogodke. Področje Ranomena, kjer sem od junija naprej ostal sam, je dokaj razsežno. V dneh okrog praznikov se pač vsak misijonar pomuja in skuša obiskati kar največ svojih postojank.
Na skrbi imam 15 rednih postojank. Vsaj štiri od teh bi bile lahko župnije. Vrhu tega do večine ni možno z avtom, ampak je treba nabrusiti pete. Včasih tudi do 200 km tja in nazaj prepešačimo. Kjer pa ceste so, so tako zmahane, da cincaš med dvema možnosti-ma, peš ali z avtom. Utrujen in včasih z avtom bolj, kot če bi šel peš. Zgodi se, da 40 km, ki bi jih streniran prehodil v osmih urah, z avtom prevoziš komaj v dveh dneh. Ja, prav ste prebrali!
Ob ciklonskem deževju postanejo ceste tako razmočene in blatne, da ne bi z Land Roverjem prišel skoz. V pomoč mora lopata in roke. Letos smo, hvala Bogu, imeli kar srečo, da je bilo pred prazniki suho. Tako sem namesto 200 km prepešačil le 100. Vendar sem v zaključni etapi pešačenja krepko gagal.
Tropska vročina za gorenjsko klimo navajen organizem ni hec! In okrog Božiča nam tu sije sonce točno na plešo, tako, da še lastne sence ne vidiš. No, za božje kraljestvo se že prenese. In ne le kristjani, celo pogani nas dajo v koš-Tako sem v času hude lakote večkrat doživel, da so mi prihodu v hišo pogani odstopi' li še zadnje grižljaje hrane, ki so jo imeli.
Čas je kratek, večnost dol' ga, pravi Newman. Potrudim0 se, da nas na sodni dan ne b° sram pred pogani, ki nas mar' sikdaj gladko posekajo v svoj* naravni dobrodelnosti. - LeP pozdrav in z Bogom! - K*6' men Štolcar l.r.«

648. SESTRA M. ANGELINA MARTELANC
iz Kongregacije sester sv. Karla Borromejskega, ki že leta vzgaja predvsem arabsko dekliško mladino v njihovi znani šoli v starem predelu Jeruzalema, se zahvaljuje MZA in vsem dobrotnikom za božični dar. Veliko imajo vedno ubogih med učenkami in pomagajo staršem posebej za nabavo sladkorja in riža, pa tudi zdravila včasih za najbolj uboge plačajo s takimi darovi lahko, posebej ako imajo družine veliko otrok. Draginja je velika. Za Božič je bilo veliko turistov, med njimi dokaj romarjev. Sonce je pomladansko in manjka dežja. Za uboge je suša blagoslov, ker nimajo denarja za kurjavo. Turisti pa mnogi na jug gredo, kjer je na morski obali vedno dovolj gostov za kopanje.
Sestra Angelina ima svojo 92-letno mamo še v Egiptu. Ko j° je poleti obiskala med počitnicami, je sama zbolela, a se sedaj že zdravje boljša. Vse lepo pozdravlja in za vse moli.
Sestra Martelanc je od poče-tkov MZA bila naša zvesta sodelavka. Skoraj vse svoje življenje kot redovnica je preživela v delu za doraščajočo mladino v Jeruzalemu. Bila je Priča vseh velikih sprememb v tem delu sveta v zadnjih deset-letjih. Molimo zanjo in njeno

ter ostalo sorodstvo tu in v stari domovini, '-'eveland, Ohio, 15. feb. 1985.
Brat Valentin Poznič,
upokojen na terenu v državi Zaire, pošilja najlepše pozdrave vsem v MZA in se zahvaljuje za božični dar. Država jim je odvzela večji del farme in so jim pustili samo skromen vrt za zelenjavo. Dar MZA bodo uporabili za največje potrebe. »Velika suša je v državi in lačnih je veliko. Nam sedaj manjka celo vode za zalivanje in ne moremo, kot poprej, dati ljudem veliko od naših pridelkov. Ljudje zaradi velike suše ne morajo niti orati in manjka koruze za seme, da bi jo posejali. Ljudje povečini živijo od pridelka domače koruze. Za dar MZA smo nabavili lahko koruze, da smo nasitili z njo mnogo ljudi. Lakota se čuti med ljudmi prav resno.«
Na Madagaskar se vrne ta mesec g. Pedro Opeka, za katerega sta darovali ga. Anica Tushar in njena mati ga. Pa-ternost $175. G. Puhanu se je tudi stanje z zdravjem izboljšalo, da se lahko vrne na otok istočasno s sobratom Opeko. G. Opeka je ob obisku v Kanadi precej zbraj za graditev nove cerkve v Vaingandrano. Če se še kaj nabere med nami, mu bo MZA poslala naknadno še nove darove.
Misijonar Ivan Bajec
se je oglasil 5. januarja iz nove postojanke v župniji Guitry, v državi Slonokoščene Obale: »Najprej se vam lepo zahvalim za vaše pismo z božičnimi pozdravi in novoletnimi voščili, za božično darilo MZA in za mašne intencije. Bog vam bo gotovo bogat Plačnik za vse vaše požrtvovalno delo.

Ko bo denar za sestre iz čeka vnovčen, jim ga bom izročil. Morda pa bi bilo dobro, če bi odslej pošiljali njim posebej na njihov naslov.
Meseca novembra se je vrnil v misijone moj brat Pavel, ki deluje tokrat v župniji Lakota. Zdravje se mu je izboljšalo in bo tako lahko nadaljeval svoje misijonsko delo z nami.
V Novem letu Vam želim veliko božjega blagoslova v vašem življenju in pri vašem delu, posebej pri vašem prizadevanju za misijone. Enako vsem sodelavcem pri MZA in vas vse toplo pozdravljam. Moj novi naslov je: Mission Catholique, B.P.84, Guitry, mojega brata Pavla pa B.P.21 Lakota; oba sva v državi Gote d’Ivoire, Afrique.
Usmiljenka Bogdana Kavčič iz Burundija piše 14. januarja ge. Tushar: »Prihajam k vam z res hvaležnim srcem. S tako lepim darom ste me presenetili in res ne vem, kako reči hvala in Bog povrni vsem tistim, ki imajo pri tem daru zasluženje in v katerega so vložili del svojih dni pri delu, pa tudi del svojega srca.
Edino hvaležnost, ki vam jo obljubljam, je ta, da bom ta dar čimpreje in čim bolje uporabila za uboge in jih bom tudi prosila, da molijo za vas vse, ki nas s tako zvestobo spremljate.
To leto je bilo tukaj precej težko. Cerkev je izgubila mnogo svojih delavcev. Iz ene škofije so morali odpotovati vsi misijonarji. Preprosto, niso jim več obnovili vizuma. Tudi drugače je več sitnosti in napetosti od strani države.
Potem pa lakota je povzročila mnogo trpljenja. Najprej zaradi suše, potem pa je preveč deževalo. Tako sta bila dva pridelka fižola uničena. Vendar ni bilo lakote v taki meri, kot smo slišali, da je bilo v Etiopiji.
Ta dar, ki ste nam ga poslali, bo v veliki meri služil, da nakupimo za seme fižol, ki je postal zelo drag in ga je ubogim nemogoče kupiti. Bodo vsaj za tri mesece kaj pridelali, če nam bo Bog dal lepo vreme. Po drugi strani pa še vedno napeljujemo vodo na hribe. Ljudje tam s takim veseljem pomagajo s svojim delom, ki ga ni malo. Me prispevamo le cevi, za katere pa je treba dosti denarja. Z 800 dolarji, ki ste nam jih poslali, bi lahko napeljali vodo en kilometer daleč na hrib in ljudem ne bo več treba zahajat v močvirje, kjer ni čista in pitna voda.
Imamo to srečo,
da je nad nami en velik hrib in je veliko izvirov in voda priteče na hrib kar sama, brez vsake pumpe. Seveda pa ni povsod tako in so studenci tudi po močvirjih. Ko sem bila lansko leto na dopustu, mi je brat preskrbel pumpo, ki potiska vodo v višino. Prav sedaj jo skušamo montirati, da bi mogli dati vsem tem ljudem dovolj vode, če bi imeli dobrotnikov. Zato še enkrat hvala iz srca tudi v imenu ubogih
Začetki slovanske književnosti
LEMONT, 111. - Občudujemo sedanji napredek in nas obenem navdaja strah, ker ga sebični in brezvestni ljudje lahko uporabljajo v upostošenje in uničevanje. V takem vzdušju je dolžnost poglabljanja v vir in temelje resnice, ki prinaša svobodo v najglobljem pomenu besede, še večja.
Spodbudo za tako razmišljanje dobimo v zgledu sv. Cirila in Metoda. Bila sta Grka, a sta Kristusovo blagovest dojela tako globoko, da sta lahko Slovanom postala vse. To pomeni, da sta vse svoje sposobnosti in celotno življenje posvetila Slovanom. Le polagoma ob spoznavanju razmer, v katerih sta delovala, lahko odkrivamo njuno veličino, ko ugotavljamo, da sta globoko pojmovanje evangelija dojela in uresničevala že v devetem stoletju. Drugi vatikanski koncil je proglasil vse jezike za bogoslužne jezike. Sv. Ciril je že pred 1100 leti imenoval prakso, da so dovoljeni v bogoslužju le trije jeziki (hebrejščina, grščina in latinščina) za trojezično herezijo.
V času sv. Cirila in Metoda je krščanski Vzhod in Zahod spoznal, da je treba pokristjaniti Slovane, sicer bodo postali mohamedanci in tako podprli versko fanatične Arabce v uničenju krščanske Evrope. Grka Ciril in Metod sta spoznala, da je mogoče uspešno oznanjati Slovanom Kristusovo blagovest v njihovem materinem jeziku.
Metod je postal redovnik, kar je tedaj pomenilo, da je šel v popolno samoto. Ciril je bil v cesarski službi bizantinskega dvora, kjer je bil deležen najvišje tedanje izobrazbe. Ni mogel postati menih, čeprav je želel. A po napornih državnih poslanstvih je dobil dovoljenje, da se je zatekel v samostansko samoto k bratu Metodu. Tam sta spoznala globino krščanskega Vzhoda v spisih krščanskih pisateljev v prvih stoletjih obstoja Cerkve in v bogoslužnih knjigah. Spoznala sta, da je imel vsak krščanski narod bogoslužne knjige v domačem, materinem jeziku.
Krščanski Vzhod je navdihnil Cirilu misel, da je treba Slovane, ki niso imeli še nobene književnosti, dvigniti na stopnjo drugih omikanih narodov. Najpotrebnejši pogoj za uresničenje tega je bila potrebna za Slovane književnost. Treba jih je naučiti brati in pisati, čeprav takrat še niso imeli tiska. Knjige, bogoslužne in druge, so prepisovali menihi. V prvih časih krščanstva je dobila Cerkev in svet najbolj globoke spise, iz katerih še danes omikani svet zajema nauke za razvoj mirnega sožitja v družbi.
Ker so bili Slovani brez književnosti, je Ciril spoznal, da je treba ustvariti slovansko književnost. Evangeljsko blagovest je treba oznanjati v materinem jeziku. To je bilo tedaj tembolj potrebno, ker so nem-(dalje na 4. str.)
ljudi, ki zanje živimo tukaj kot misijonarji. Ljubeč in hvaležen pozdrav vsej MZA od vaše s. Bogdane.«
Ali kdaj pomislimo na tem kontinentu, sredi vseh mogočih ugodnosti v življenju in pri delu, kako se ljudje prebijajo iz dneva v dan v borbi za vodo, košček koruze ali nujno zdravilo? Ni človeku tesno pri duši, če pomisli na našo hrano in čuje, kako jih rešuje - fižol?
Uršulinka Deodata Hočevar
se oglaša 1. januarja iz Indonezije: »Z veseljem in globoko hvaležnostjo sem prejela pismo z dragocenim čekom. Prisrčna hvala vsem, ki so pripomogli, da je MZA mogla pomagati tolikim misijonarjem in misijonarkam. Naj Gospod bogato poplača vaš trud in vaše prizadevanje. Veseli me, da MZA lepo napreduje in da ljudje vkljub težkočam skušajo darovati za misijone. Tako je povsod; oni, ki sami
nimajo veliko, skušajo pomagati drugim.
Jaz sem še kar pri zdravju, hvala Bogu. Še vedno sem v šoli in skušam pomagati mladini najti pot k pravi sreči. Nekako 46% učencev je katoliške vere. Imam tudi lepo število katehumenov, ki jih pripravljam za sv. krst. Vse svoje zaupanje stavim v Boga; brez Njegove milosti bi bilo naše prizadevanje brezuspešno. Prepričana sem, da molitve in žrtve misijonskih prijateljev kličejo božji blagoslov na naše delo. Vsi smo misijonarji, vsak na svojem mestu, katerega mu je določil Gospod, kajne? Vas in vse v MZA vklepam v svoje molitve. 25. januarja letos uršulinke praznujemo 450 letnico našega Reda. V Gospodu prisrčno pozdravlja hvaležna s. Deodata Hočevar OSU«

Začetki slovanske književnosti
(nadaljevanje s 3. str.)
ški duhovniki z oznanjevanjem evangelija v nemškem jeziku širili tudi nemško državno moč.
Po Cirilovem pojmovanju, ki si ga je osvojil tudi Metod, je Kristus skupni cilj, h kateremu so poklicani vsi narodi. Vsak jezik je poklican, da slavi Kristusa, zato se mora tudi vsakemu narodu oznanjati Kristusova blagovest v narodnem ali materinem jeziku. Vsak človek in vsak riarod izraža svojo notranjost, svoje misli in svoja spoznanja (svoj duhovni svet) v jeziku, ki se ga je naučil od svoje matere. V materinem jeziku odkriva ljudem okoli sebe svojo notranjost. V to notranjost vsakega človeka mora priti Kristus z oznanilom svoje blagovesti.
Vsak jezik je poklican, da slavi Kristusa in se s tem udeležuje verskega poslanstva, ki mu odvzema značaj zaostalosti in ga dviga na višino krščanske omike. V krščanski omiki najdejo značilnosti in odlike vsakega naroda v vzajemnem soglasju z drugimi narodi enako vrednost in enako veljavo.
Razlike in prednosti posameznih narodov se na stopnji krščanske omike med seboj ne nasprotujejo in ne uničujejo, marveč dopolnjujejo in ustvarjajo ubrano soglasje. Da bo Kristus lahko prišel v notranjost Slovand, mu je treba oznanjati njegovo blagovest v njegovem jeziku. Zato je treba slovanske jezike dvigniti na stopnjo omike, katere izraz in znak je književnost.
Ciril je izumil staroslovensko abecedo ne po sposobnosti jezikoslovca, marveč iz globokega in dejavnega prepričanja, da mora Kristus, ki razsvetljuje sleherno dušo na tem svetu, priti v vsako dušo po tistem, kar je v človeku najgloblje, najnaravnejše in v to razode-vanju sebe drugim najbolj občevalno. In to je narodni ali materini jezik.
Abeceda, ki jo je sestavil Ciril, se imenuje glagolica. Beseda glagolica pride od staroslovenske besede glagolati, kar pomeni govoriti. Jezikoslovci občudujejo Cirilovo pisavo glagolico, ki popolno izraža staroslovenske glasove. Staroslovenski Cirilov prevod evangelijev je tako popolno delo, da se v njem razodeva visoka nadarjenost in izobrazba prevajalca. Ustanovitev starokrščanske književnosti in slovanskega bogoslužja je važna za vero in prosveto in je odločilno vplivala na slovansko in evropsko zgodovino.
Glagolico moramo ločiti od cirilice, ki je nastala dve stoletji pozneje.
Kakšen jezik je bila staro-slovenščina, ki sta ga govorila in pisala sv. Ciril in Metod? O tem je bilo veliko ugibanja. Dognano je, da je bila to slovenščina ali kot navadno pravimo staroslovenščina, ki so jo govorili Slovani v Solunu in okolici. Govorila sta torej v makedonskem staroslovenskem narečju. V Solunu in okolici je bilo za časa Cirila in Metoda veliko Slovanov, zato je tudi bizantinski cesar dobil

iz Soluna upravnike slovanskih pokrajin, ki so spadale pod bizantinsko cesarstvo.
V kakšnem obredu sta maševala sv. Ciril in Metod? V prvih krščanskih stoletjih so na zahodu in celo v Rimu rabili grški bogoslužni jezik, ki ga je pozneje spodrinila latinščina. V Carigradu so imeli svoj bizantinski obred, v Rimu pa rimski obred.
Ciril je ob prihodu na Moravsko maševal v staroslovenskem jeziku v bizantinskem obredu. Ko pa je spoznal, da ozemlje, na katerem misijona-rita, spada pod Rim, je začel maševati v staroslovenskem jeziku rimskega obreda. Staroslovenska maša rimskega obreda je istega obreda, ki smo jo pred drugim vatikanskim koncilom imeli v latinščini, sedaj jo pa imamo v slovenščini. Rimsko slovansko bogoslužje (v glagolici) je ohranjeno med Hrvati v hr-vatskem Primorju (Senj), na otokih in v Dalmaciji.
Med drugim vatikanskim koncilom je maševal šibenški škof msgr. Arnerič vpričo 2.185 škofov staroslovensko mašo rimskega obreda. Velika večina škofov je tedaj prvikrat zvedela, da obstoja rimska maša v staroslovenskem jeziku.

was especially highly regarded in Chicago in the 1920’s and 1930’s, although during the 1930’s he resided in Cleveland and led the Yugoslav Art School with classes in the Slovene National Home on St. Clair Ave. No doubt many of our readers remember Prusheck and some attended these classes or have one or more of his works in their homes, in the latter category including this writer.
Prusheck (Perušek), who died in Cleveland in 1940, was born in Slovenia in 1887. His style and especially his use of color combinations are quite distinctive.	RMS)

RAJKO LOŽAR (1904-1985)
By Rado L. Lenček
5
Rajko Ložar, one of the most distinguished members of the Society for Slovene Studies, the best known contemporary Slovene scholar in the United States, a leading expert on archeology, art, ethnography, language and literature in Slovenia in the interwar (1918-1945) era, died January 4, 1985, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where he lived for the last twenty years. He was 80 years old. (Note: Ethnograpy is the branch of anthropology that is concerned with the classification and description of particular human cultures. Some use the word “folklore”, although ethnography is broader than this.)
Born in Ljubljana, Dr. Ložar studied art history and archeology at the universities of Ljubljana and Vienna, and completed his education at the University of Vienna. He served as Gustos and Librarian in the National Museum in Ljubljana, as Acting Director and Director of the Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana, and during 1942-45 was Professor of Prehistory at the University of Ljubljana. In 1955, Dr. Ložar moved to the United States. From 1956 to 1969, he held the position of Director of the Rahr Civic Center and Public Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Dr. Ložar earned his reputation in Slovenia as a leading archeologist of the Celtic-Roman civilization in Central Europe (e.g., his Ancient Roman Sarcophagi in Nori-cum and Pannonia, 1927; “Poročila o delu Arheološkega muzeja v Ljubljani,” /Reports of the Work of the Archeological Museum in Ljubljana/ in Glasnik Muzejskega društva Slovenije, 1928-1941); and as an innovative interpreter of Slovene lyric poetry of the first quarter of this century (e.g., his Introduction to Slovenska sodobna lirika, 1 933).
Dr. Ložar’s “Predzgodovinske osnove slovenskega narodopisja” /Prehistoric Bases of Slovene Ethnography/ (Etnolog, 1943), and his first volume of Naro-
dopisje Slovencev /Ethnography of the Slovenes/, published in 1944, created a basis for a systematic treatment of the ethnographic culture of the Slovene lands.
In the United States, Dr. Ložar published a number of excellent studies on Slavic art history (e.g., his “Bulgarian Art” and “Yugoslav Art” in The New Catholic Encyclopedia, 1969), on Slovene cultural history (e.g., his “K teoriji o skandinavskem izvoru Slovencev,” /Toward the Theory of the Scandinavian Origin of the Slovenes/ Most, 1981; “Iliri, Veneti in Slovenci,” Glas Korotana, 1984); and on language and linguistics (e.g., his “Jezikoslovje po drugi svetovni vojni” /Linguistics after World War II/, Druga vrsta, 1981; “O jezikoslovju in literarno-kriti-čni klasifikaciji koroškega Windisch-idioma,” /On Linguistics and the Literary Critical Classification of the Carin-thian Windisch Idiom/ Med-dobje, 1983; “Študija o jeziku, narečju in govoru,” /A Study on Language, Dialect and Speech/ Meddobje, 1983).
Rajko Ložar was an active member of the Society for Slovene Studies since 1973.

Knaus donates silver ball to Euclid Recher
By Madeline Debevec
Veteran real estate broker George Knaus donated a 28-inch wide mirrored crystal ball to the Euclid Society Home on Recher Avenue.
He made the presentation at the hall’s annual meeting there on Sunday, Feb. 10 in front of the 328 stockholders in attendance.
Knaus walked on the stage carrying a box with a red ribbon tied with a bow on top. He said, “Big things come in small packages and here it comes now.” As he spoke, two men entered the hall carrying the crystal ball. The appreciative audience gave George a rousing round of applause.
Knaus said, “The sooner it is put up, the happier I’ll be.” He told us afterwards, “I was so excited about it, I couldn’t sleep all week.” Inside the package he was carrying were the three spotlights which will shine on the ball giving a sparkling effect on the dancers. The ball is the same size as the one at old Euclid Beach ballroom. The sphere was purchased from John Copic’s Fun Services on E. 185 St. and cost “$1,000
wholesale.”

Barberton U.S.S. Band Concert March 10
On Sunday, March 10 at 3 p.m., the U.S.S. Band under the direction of Norman Novak, will stage a concert at the Slovene Center, 70 - 14th St. W. in Barberton, Ohio.
Lively Slovenian polkas and marches along with beautiful waltzes and folk medleys will be included in the repertoire as only the big band can portray. The band’s record album and cassette will also be available and on sale.
The Barberton Button Box Club will play for the dance and social to follow at 5 p.m. Seat tickets are $4.00 for adults and $2.00 for teens and under and are available at Frankie Spetich’s Magic City Music Store, 643 Wooster Road W. (telephone 745-2636).
The U.S.S. Band became the only one of its kind in America or Canada, since the past god-bas or bands are no longer in existence. The group is made up of younger musicians and a. nucleus of qualified older musicians who have a past musical history, some of whom performed in the original Slovenian bands of yesteryear.
The United Slovenian Society Band was formed in 1978 as the primary cultural project of the United Slovenian Society. The U.S.S. is a beneficial umbrella group Of American-Slovenians representing various facets of the greater Cleveland Slovenian community.
Norman Novak is director for the group of 30 musicians which has left its mark in the community as a recipient of several trophies and awards for its marching and playing abilities.
A bus will depart for the Barberton Slovenian performance at 1 p.m. on March 10 from 15335 Waterloo Road in Cleveland. Any interested parties wishing to take the bus
may contact Gene March at 449-1783.

Glasbena Matica’s Concert March 9th
Although the unusually mild winter has altered its course and presently is blowing cold north winds and snowcovering the Cleveland area landscape, this is truly the perfect time for fireside activities and indoor hobbies, but also for the contemplation of future fun-filled leisure.
We, the members of the Glasbena Matica Slovenian Singing Society, are currently earnestly rehearsing musical numbers to be performed at our forthcoming dinner-dance called “Musical Moments.” We cordially invite everyone to attend this social event which will be held on Saturday, March 9 at the Slovenian National Home, 6409 St. Clair Ave.
Doors open at 6 p.m. and a full-course, family-style dinner will be served at 7 p.m. with program and social following.
While the program is by no means finalized at this writing and some changes may yet occur, we are preparing several operatic numbers from our library of complete operatic scores, namely, two compositions from the opera “Bartered Bride” by the Bohemian composer Smetena, and the “drinking song” from “La Traviata.”
There will also be several Slovenian folk songs performed including “Planinska” by Anton Foerster, and for our English speaking audience “The Tennessee Waltz,” and “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.”
To complement the program, there will undoubtedly be a number of delightful renditions by soloists and possibly, a duet or quartet. Then, too, you can expect the Jeff Pecon
Orchestra, our musicians f°r the evening, to accompany the chorus on several polka, wait* or Avsenik-type compositions, and a finale which always creates great enthusiasm and hand-clapping by the au' dience.
Tickets for this event are $12.50 each and can be obtain-ed from chorus members, °f by contacting John Vatovec at 621-7151 until 4:30 P111’ weekdays and 524-4053 evenings and weekends.

‘Good Old Days’ Rekindle Fond Memories
7
By STAN J. ERZEN It seems that nowadays a lot of attention is being focused on the “good old days.” Old time movies, athletes, songs, etc. So, with this in mind, let us remind you about the “good old days” for a lot of Slovenian people. We realize that a lot of old timers have gone on to their final reward but there is still a goodly number of them around. Perhaps, some of you “young timers” will enjoy reading about events of a bygone era.
In the early nineteen hundreds, from 1905 to 1915, a lot of Slovenian folks migrated from Slovenia to this country. And, they brought with them old country culture. Included was the art of wine making.
Almost immediately, the immigrants became involved in wine making and made a living by the pressing and sale of wine.
The following is a list of wineries in the St. Clair and Collinwood areas and their owners.
Skuly, E. 39 and St. Clair Basca, E. 61 north of St. Clair Ave.
Božeglav, E. 60 and St. Clair Fabians’, E. 61 and Glass Smole, E. 61 and Glass Frank Kovačič, E. 61 and Carry Ave.
Krašovec, Waterloo and Not-tingham Rd. and later taken over by the Kozar family Knaus, E. 39 and St. Clair Knaus, E. 62 north of St. Clair Ave.
Korošec, E. 67, St. Clair Erste, E. 68, St. Clair.
Mandel — later Baraga operation — E. 153 and Waterloo
One of the pioneer wine takers was a Mr. Krakar who Required about 100 acres in the uclid area around E. 222 and
Miller Ave. He pressed some of the best wines in the region and had a sales outlet at E. 214 and Miller Ave. His sort, Joe Krakar, still resides with his wife, Rose, on Miller Ave.
Also, other good quality grapes came from Geneva, Madison, and Avon, Ohio. They ranged in price from $15 to $100 a ton, depending on the availability of the grapes. Naturally, if there was a poor yield, the price of grapes would go up.
And it was not only the wineries that made wine for sale. Many a family would do their own pressing. Family members and friends would join in the pressing of about 200 gallons (4 barrels) for their own consumption. To make more than 200 gallons was illegal. The people engaged in this home making process would have tell-tale marks and stains (purple) on their hands that sometimes took three weeks to eradicate with vigorous scrubbing.
The pressings or leavings after the grapes were pressed would be conveyed to empty lots or in the case of the St. Clair area, to the E. 55 St. dump.
Some of the more enterprising individuals had a method of converting the wine into “tropinavec” which, when they completed this process, was 180 proof — alcohol.
Another method employed by the poorer people was to soak the pressings in a wine barrel and add a little sugar and given a certain amount of maturity produced a “summer wine.” Some folks called it “živižgavec.” In this process, the original pressings were again pressed and resulted in a favorable and tasty concoction.

St. Clair Pensioners Meet Feb 21

alone, and performed all of her household duties, until the end. She was in reasonably good health, and whenever possible, she attended our meetings.
Each year, each of the Pensioners Clubs of our Federation of Pensioners Clubs, hold an annual benefit as a means of bolstering their treasuries. I notice the Euclid Club is holding its Dinner-Dance on Sunday, Feb. 17, while the Waterloo Club has announced March 16th as the date, also for a Dinner-Dance. We urge you to support both of these events if possible. Look for the announcements of the other pensioners’ clubs also.
Our club has scheduled Sunday, April 21 for its Annual Dinner- and Social. Remember the date and plan to attend. We do appreciate your support. Reservations can be made by calling me at 391-9761 or by contacting any of our members.
Our coming meeting is February 21 (3rd Thursday of the month) at 1:30 p.m. in the Annex of the St. Clair National Home.
And, about this time in the 1920s the St. Clair and Collinwood sectors were pounced upon by a group of unscrupulous deputy sheriffs, all from small townships adjacent to Cleveland, like Linn-dale, Maple Hts., Garfield Hts., Newburgh Hts., and other villages. All sought to make arests for illegal whiskey and over production of wine. No one knew, nor did anyone question their authority to check and make arrests. No one ever saw a warrant. The whole thing (search and arrests) were illegal.
As the immigrants became prosperous, they acquired a small automobile. Mostly on Sundays, they would gather up the kids and other family members, and drive out of the city to the suburbs like Euclid and Wickliffe. They would rest up and get away from the heat of the city and enjoy some fresh air. They would drive to the picnic grounds listed as follows:
Rechers farm, E. 207 and old St. Clair Ave.
Kastelic’s farm, Goller Ave. off Miller Ave.
Strumbly Park, also known as the “Willows” at E. 222 south of St. Clair Ave.
Spelko’s, St. Clair Ave. near E. 260 St.
Goriseks’, east of E. 260 St. on St. Clair Ave.
Pintars’, end of Linore Ave. off E. 260 St.
Stuseks’, on Rt. 84 about 310 St.
Mocilnikars farm. White Rd. (now known as St. Joseph’s KSKJ recreation area). It is now the only original picnic area left in the Cleveland area.
In the late 20s the people began to go even further east to get away from the heat and turmoil of the city. — And to get some good food and wine. Two of the first farms that come to mind are Mr. Debevc’s on Doty Rd. in Geneva, Ohio, and Mah’s on Rt. 20 in Madison. Also, there was Korene’, north of Rt. 20 in Madison, Ohio.
A bit later, the “place to go” was Rosie Lapp’s on Rt. 534 in Geneva. Other good places to visit were Fannie Arko’s on
Hubbard Rd. irt Madison, and Makovec’s on South River Rd. in Geneva. All the aforementioned are no longer with us.
But we still have the farms and wineries in Geneva and Madison. The present owners and operators are engaged principally in raising the grapes and selling them to the Welch Juice Co. for grape juice, jellies, etc.
There are a few places there where you can buy a bottle of wine with a meal. Kuhar’s on Rt. 534, Swiss Haus on Rt. 307 and Chalet Debonne on South River Rd.
The only Slovenian vintners left, that come to my mind that still raise grapes, are:
Ray and Evie Mesojodec (Rosie Lapp’s)
Joe and Vida Furlan Louis Babich Drugovic’s
Mark Debevec and brother
Josie Gruber
Louis Kosmach
Frank Kerzic
Julia Grabelsek
Vic Derling
Frank Stanisha.
Their grapes are all contracted to the Welch Juice Co.
What hardships they had years ago. All the grapes had to be picked by hand. What took them 3-4 weeks is now picked by a grape picking machine in two days. This machine picks the grapes and inserts them, by conveyer, into half ton containers and then loads them onto a flat bed truck which in turn is driven to the Welch processing plant.
Even so, with all the modern methods, one still must rely heavily upon the good graces of mother nature.
In the spring, the farmers worry about killing frost, and in the summer, damaging hail or drought. In the fall, the right amount of rain and plenty of sun is needed.
All of this writing has made me tired and thirsty.
So, 1 think I will take a ride down to Recher Hall and meet up with some of the “old timers” and some of the “young uns” who often show up there:
Rudy Sternad, Lou Trebar, Jack Erzen, Mickey Budan,
Nine Day Novena to St. Jude

Build ‘Marija Brezje’ shrine in Ohio
By STANE J. KUHAR
Here is a challenge to the readers of Ameriška Domovina. Let’s initiate a committee to raise funds for the purpose of constructing a shrine in honor of “Marija Brezje.”
The dedication would be for all Slovenians and American-Slovenians who lost their lives during World War II. Many persons talk about their dedication and homage to this patronage of Slovenia. Yet not one such shrine exists in an accessible area in Ohio for many people of Slovenian descent. Anyone having thoughts on this subject, pro or con, write me in care of this newspaper.
Klagenfurt Conspiracy Update!
My letter to the editor of the American Home regarding the Partisan massacre of Slovenes and other Yugoslavs during and after World War II has produced some surprising results.
One postcard was from an unsigned and unaddressed person with the initials “M.O.” M.O. doubted the authenticity of the events that occurred at Klagenfurt by the Yugoslav Communist Party (i.e., the Partisans). Perhaps M.O. should contact some of the survivors and speak with them about how wonderful Tito and the Partisans were to those Slovenians who opposed them. Perhaps M.O. also does not believe that six million Jews and two million Slavs were killed by the Nazi party. Or that two- to three million Cambodian persons simply
disappeared from Southeast Asia because the Cambodian Communists were such nice people.
Two other responses received were extremely positive. One was from Robert Kastelic (Hudson, Ohio). He offered the usage of the Slovenian National Home in Maple Heights, Ohio for any commemorative service on behalf of the 40th anniversary of the unnecessary deaths of the thousands of innocent Slovenians by Tito and the Partisans at Kočevski Rog and
other places.
The second response was a bit more astoundishing. Andrej Cashen from Madison, Ohio sent a supportive letter plus an official check for $25.00 It was a pleasant surprise. The donation from Mr. Cashen will be put in a special bank account for the time being.
School System Comedy
The recent suicide death of Cleveland Schools Supt. Frederick D. Holliday in January 1985 leaves a bitter note of irony to the black community in Cleveland. The
irony being a man so dedicated and obsessed toward providing an effective and quality public school system to educate the children of Cleveland who succumbed to the petty politics of the Board of Education (Cleveland) and committed suicide.
The Board members of the Cleveland Public School System are becoming more of a joke with each passing day: constant name calling and foul language from board members, manipulation of white and black communities
to instigate racial tension, low performance busing system, etc. The list goes on and on with no end in sight.
Perhaps the Board members should at least investigate the reasons why the Cleveland parochial school system is meeting its goals and objectives. Board members such as Ted Bonda, Edward Young and others would come to the conclusion that only when a educational philosophy of “value-orientation” is in* stituted will it succeed. Even more insulting is the lack of support from the many corporations in the Cleveland area with the parochial school system even though it is succeeding in its mission of developing and educating its pupils.
The constant argument that the parochial school system in Cleveland is elite and MV' white holds little water considering the fact approximately 25% of the pupils served by the Cleveland city parochial schools are black, while another 28% qualify for federal free and/or reduced price lunch programs.
Computers
St. Vitus School has purchased 10 computers and two printers with the monies donated toward this project. A big thanks to the St. Vitus Mothers Club ($5,000), the St-Vitus School children ($5,000), Peter R. Osenar ($1,100), and scores of other persons who have donated monies toward this cause. A
