Severnoirski izgredi se siopnjtijejo; Sands v ze!o resnem stanju
BELFAST, Sev. Ir. — Poulični izgredi v tem in drugih severnoirskih mestih se nadaljujejo in celo stopnjujejo. Izgredniki so večinoma mladi , ljudje, uporabljajo pa vedno/ nevarnejše orožje proti policistom in pripadnikom angle ških vojaških sil. Izgredniki pripadajo katoliški skupini v j pokrajini.
Poleg kamenja in opek, mečejo demonstranti tkzv. Molotove koktajle in steklenice, napolnjene s kislino ali žeblji. Policisti streljajo na demonstrante, a uporabljajo gumijaste krogle, ki niso smrtonosne. Katoliški duhovniki skušajo miriti mladeniče, a jih le-ti ne upoštevajo.	|
Bobby Sands, član teroristične IRA in angleškega par- ^ lamenta, nadaljuje s svojo
gladovno stavko v zaporu ! The Maze. Obiskali so ga čla- j ni njegove družine, ki so rek-
li, da namerava Sands nada- ! Ijevati z gladovno stavko do smrti. Predstavnik zapora je priznal novinarjem, da( se Sandsovo stanje slabša in da bo morda celo umrl v naslednjih dneh.	'f
Hoaald Reagan govori! c afinlafu; operacija na Sradyju uspela
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Predsednik Ronald Reagan je sprejel dva novinarja v Beli hiši in odgovarjal na vprašanja, Intervju, ki je trajal 19 minut, je bil prvi po atentatu pred hotelom Hilton dne 30. marca.
Reagan je govoril o prvih minutah po atentatu. Slišal je streljanje in je hotel pogledati v smer, od koder se mu je zdelo, da prihajajo streli. Vendar ga je agent Secret Service Jerry Parr potisnil v limuzino s tako silo, da je Reagana začelo silno boleti. Mislil je, da si je zlomil rebro. Sploh ni imel pojma, je dejal Reagan, da je bil ustreljen.
Najhuje je bilo, ko ni mogel več dihati, je rekel predsednik. Še danes se mu zdi cela zadeva neresnična. Vedno pa ima bolečine.
Novinarja sta rekla, da je bil Reaganov glas močan in da ni kazal dosti znakov, da je bil huje ranjen šele pred tremi tedni. Reagan je rekel, da se počuti dobro, in da je Presenečen nad hitrostjo svojega okrevanja.
O atentatorju Johnu Hinck-leyju je predsednik rekel, da ■ ga ne sovraži in da upa, da bo Hinckley ozdravel. Hinckley niora imeti resnejše duševne niotnje, je pripomnil Reagan.
Tiskovni predstavnik Bele biše James S. Brady, ki je bil Najhuje ranjen v atentatu na Reagana, je uspešno prestal operacijo na možgalnih. Pojavila se je komplikacija in zdravniki so se odločili za ponovno operacijo.
Predstavnik bolnišnice je Rjavil, da je Bradyjevo zdravstveno stanje po opera-c'iji zadovoljivo in da zdrav-niki ne pričakujejo nobenih trajnih posledic.

Izraelci napovedufeio Zadnie vest' borbo zoper prodajo letal Saudski Arabij
Podpirajte slovenske trgovce!
TEL AVIV, Izr. — Izraelska vlada je z ostrimi besedami kritizirala odločitev predsednika Ronalda Reagana, da bodo ZDA prodale Saudski Arabiji 5 letal tipa AWACS. Na teh letalih so prisluškovalne in radarske naprave, ki omogočajo nadzorovanje vojaških in drugih aktivnosti v krajih, oddaljenh od letal 250 milj in več.
Saudska Arabija meni, da so letala nujna za obrambo zoper možnost vojaškega napada od Irana ali drugega nasprotnika na širšem območju Perzijskega zaliva. V Izraelu so pa mnenja, da bi lahko bila letala uporabljena v vojni proti Izraelu. Vladarji Saudske Arabije namreč ne prikrivajo svojega nasprotovanja Izraelu.
Vodilni vojaški poveljnik v Izraelu, gen. Mordechai Gur, je izjavil v intervjuju z ameriško televizijsko mrežo ABC, da bi bila Saudska Arabija temeljito in sproti obveščena o vseh premikih izraelskih vojaških enot. S tem bi bila učinkovita obramba izraelskih meja povsem onemogočena. Tudi ako bi Saudska A-rabija ne bila neposredno sodelovala v vojni zoper Izrael, je trdil Gur, bi lahko posredovala podatke izraelskim sovražnikom.
Predsdnik izraelske vlade Menahem Begin je prebral protestno izjavo svoje vlade ameriškemu v e 1 ep o slaniku Samuelu Lewisu. Naj se v Reaganovi administraciji premislijo, je prosil Begin, in naj ne prodajo omenjenih letal Saudski Arabiji.
Predstavniki izraelske vlade so tudi priznali, da bodo začeli z obsežno politično kampanjo, namen katere bo pritiskati na Reaganovo vlado, zvezni kongres in ameriško javno mnenje, naj predsednik prekliče svojo odločitev.
Izraelci bodo poudarjali v tej kampanji, da Saudska A-rabija še do danes ne podpira sporazumov, že d o s e ž^e n ih med ZDA, Izraelom in Egiptom na Camp David, da podpira razne proti-izraelske teroristične organizacije, ter da je bila gostiteljica konference, v kateri so udeleženci zahtevali “sveto vojno” zoper Izrael.
V zvezi z nedavnimi dogod-
ki v Iranu, dodajajo Izraelci, ni mogoče izključiti možnosti političnega preobrata v/ Saudski Arabiji, v katerem bi prišli na oblast skrajneži, podobni tistim v Iranu ali Siriji. V takem slučaju bi nastala nevarnost, da bi AWAC letalo prišlo v roke Sovjetske zveze.
Pri državnem tajništvu ZDA trdijo, da prodaja, letal Saudski Arabiji ne bo škodovala Izraelu in da so ZDA zainteresirane v ohranjevanju neodvisnosti in varnosti Izraela.
Včeraj je imela skupina predstavnikov židovskih organizacij sestanek z obrambnim tajnikom Casperorn Weinbergerom. Židje so izrazili svojo zaskrbljenost nad predsednikovo odločitvijo.
V zveznem kongresu je mnogo kongresnikov in senatorjev, ki močno podpirajo Izrael in zato obstaja možnost, da bo izraelska kampanja zoper prodajo letal uspela.
• Washington, D.C. — Dobro poučeni viri, ki so blizu Reaganove administracije, napovedujejo, da bo predsednik Ronald Reagan danes ukinil prepoved izvoza žitaric v Sovjetsko zvezo. Nekateri pa pravijo, da bo ostala v veljavi prepoved izvoza koruze.
Demonslracija molila koncert Moskovske filharmonije v Londonu
LONDON, Vel. Brit. — Na koncert Moskovske filharmo ni j e v znanem Royal Festival Hallu je prišlo do incidenta, ko so se pojavili na odru demonstranti, ki so zahtevali izpustitev na svobodo sovjetskega oporečnika Andreja Ščaranskega. Sčaranski je bil obsojen zaradi veleizdaje,, vohunjenja in protisovjetskih aktivnosti.
Mnogi v dvorani so bili o-gorceni nad demonstranti in zahtevali, naj zapustijo oder. Vsega skupaj je bilo 41 demonstrantov. Člani Moskovske filharmonije se niso v najmanjši meri brigali za demonstrante in so igrali kar naprej. Občinstvo jih je nagradilo s ponovnim, navdušenim ploskanjem.
Andrej ščarahski je bil obsojen na 13 let ječe pred tremi leti. Državni tožilec je trdil, da je bil Sčaranski ameriški vohun. Sčaranski je rekel, da je nedolžen, takratni ameriški predsednik Jimmy Carter je tudi javno povedal, da ni resnice v sovjetski trditvi o Sčaranskiju.
•	Washington, D.C. — Prejemniki Social Security bodo dobili 11.2 C več začenši z julijem letos. Povišanje je zaradi napredovanja inflacijske stopnje.
•	Tucson, Ariz. — Skupina roparjev, ki je oropala podružnico banke First National v tem mestu, je odnesla kar 3.3 milijona dolarjev, kar je svojevrsten rekord. Policisti menijo, da je roparjem pomagal uslužbenec banke in da že imajo osumljence. Doslej pa niso nobenega osumljenca a-retirali.
•	Peč, SFRJ. — Požar je poškodoval bivšo srbsko patriarhijo blizu tega mesta. Požar je bil dne 16. marca, podrobnejši podatki šele sedaj prihajajo na dan. Za pravoslavne Srbe je ta patriarhat eden najpomembnejših verskih in zgodovinskih spomenikov, nahaja se pa v današnji pokrajini Kosovo, v kateri je bilo nedavno več izgredov Albancev. Vzroke požara še preiskujejo, nočejo pa priznati, da gre za požig. Okoliščine, v katerih je nastal požar — kar na dve mestih — kažejo jasno na požig. Članek o tej zadevi je v današnjem The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
•	Peking, Kit. — Vodilni kitajski gospodarstvenik je priznal, da je bila kmetijska politika Maa Dze-dunga prava katastrofa za kitajsko družbo. Samo v letih 1959-1962 naj bi umrlo od lakote na Kitajskem 20 milijonov ljudi.
•	New York, N.Y. — Najnovejša povpraševanja kažejo, da je priljubljenost predsednika Ronalda Reagana na višku. Zadovoljnih z Reaganom je bilo 77 odstotkov povpraše-vancev, 15 odstotkov je bilo proti, ostalih 8 odstotkov pa je bilo ne za in ne proti Reaganu.
•	Washington, D.C. — Maksim Šostakovič in sin Dmitri, sin in vnuk slovitega sov- ' jetskega skladatelja Dmitrija Šostakoviča, sta prispela v to mesto iz ZR Nemčije, kjer cta zaprosila za politični azil v ZDA. Na tiskovni konferenci sta oba kritizirala ZSSR zaradi kršenja osnovnih človečanskih pravic.
Jugoslavija se boji svoje zgodovine
ir.
Takšnega in podobne napačne razplete opravičujejo z enakopravnostjo narodov. Fuinkcionarji vidijo v sorazmerju oseb in gospodarstva že tudi rešitev narodnostnega vprašanja.
V svojem jedru je narodnostno vprašanje, vprašanje različnega zgodovinskega kulturnega in družbenega razvoja. Napaka komunistične Jugoslavije je v tem, da o teh razlikah ni dovoljeno razpravljali. To pa Mto nd, 1. kdf re-
žim svobodno razpravljanje načelno odklanja, 2. ker je partija n e s p o sobna takšno razpravljanje obdržati v pravih mejah in 3. ker napak mislijo, da bo enotni socialistični svetovni nazor zgodovinske razlike sam od sebe odpravil.
Posledice teh napak so žalostne: Srbi in Hrvati, Slovenci in Albanci vedo drug o drugem še po 35-letnem sobivanju v “novi” Jugoslaviji le malo. Na dnu so prepričani le o tem, da skušajo drugi narodi njihovo republiko izkori-
ščati. Če pride kdo s tem na dan, kot Tudjman, mu pripravijo politični proces. Politično razpravljanje pa odklanjajo.
A Tudjman ne spada v ječo, marveč v pogovorni krog. Dejstvo, da v Jugoslaviji takšni pogovori niso možni, je enako prepovedi, da bi jugoslovanski narodi smeli vsak zase mirno preiskovati svojo zgodovino.
Predsednik hrvaškega parlamenta Bilič je to nehote potrdil v govoru, ki je bil objavljen med procesom. Jugo-
slovane je robato razdelil v takšne, ki so “za nas”, in takšne/ki so “proti nam”. Ti zadnji so po Biličevih besedah “protirevolucionarji”.
Državni branilec je ob rol) procesa povedal, da tujci postopka proti Tudjmanu ne morejo razumeti, ker ne poznajo jugoslovanske zgodovine. Raziskovati to zgodovino je bil eden Tudjmanovih ciljev. Kdor se boji resnice, je rekel Tudjman, tisti nima za bregom nič dobrega.

Radi ukinitve businga nobenih posebnih težav v mestu Los Angele?
LOS ANGELES, Kal. — V ponedeljek so v tem mestu u-kinili prisilno prevažanje šolarjev v prid desegregacije sistema javnih šol. Do ponedeljka so prevažali do 23,000 šolarjev dnevno.
Starši 7300 teh otrok so se odločili, da njihovih otrok ne bodo prevažali več, ampak se bodo šolarji vrnili v tisto šolo, ki je najbližja domu. Drugi starši tega niso storili predvsem zato, ker je prišla sprememba sredi šolskega leta in niso hoteli razburiti svojih o-trok.
Predstavniki šolskega odbora so trdili, da zaradi ukinitve prisilnega businga niso naleteli na nobene posebne težave kljub temu, da so bile nekatere šole bolj prizadete kot druge.
Razne črnske organizacije in American Civil Liberties Union nadaljujejo s svojimi prizadevanji, ponovno uvesti prisilno prevažanje šolarjev, vendar doslej brez uspeha. Odvetnik ACLU v Los Angelesu Fred Okrand je rekel novinarjem, da se bo ACLU o-sredotočila na začetek prihodnjega šolskega leta.
Dogodkom v zvezi z bpsin-gom v Los Angelesu sledijo z veliko pozornostjo drugi, ki nasprotujejo busingu, v upanju, da so v Kaliforniji našli način, kako na zakonit način odpraviti prisilno prevažanje šolarjev v prid šolske desegregacije.

Zgodba s Kosovega polja
Kosovo polje je za slehernega Srba zgodovinska pokrajina. Še več, to je zemlja, napojena s prelito krvjo srbskih junakov, ki so branili svojo domovino pred navalom turških vojska, a so v obrambi omagali, zaradi velike sovražne premoči bitko zgubili in v trumah obležali na bojnem polju. Med njimi je bil zgodovinski kralevič Marko, legendarni junak, opevan v narodni pesmi o kosovski devojki; spomin na bitko na Kosovem polju se je ohranjal vsa stoletja do naših časov in se izražal v prvi Jugoslaviji s spominskim obhanja-\ njem Vidovega dne.
Kosoyo polje je zatorej ne samo zgodovinski kraj, i marveč sveta zemlja, za srbsko ljudstvo.
Ker je zemeljska površina revna in malo rodovitna, in ker je za Srba spomin nanjo tužen in nespodbuden. so za časa večstoletne turške oblasti nad Srbi na Kosovo polje, redko obljudeno in po večini zapuščeno, pritisnili Albanci (Škipetarij, po krvi, jeziku, veri in etniškem razvoju Srbom popolnoma tuj ilirski ljudski element. Vsekakor je torej nerazumljivo, da Srbi "te zemlje niso bili zmožni znova poseliti po izgonu Turkov. In zgodilo se je, da je v današnji Jugoslaviji samostojna provinca Kosovo (ki nima statusa republike) obljudena do 85', s prebivalstvom albanskega po-kolenja. Strnjeno naseljeni Albanci štejejo nad 1 mili-) jon duš in se v primeri s Srbi naglo množijo.
Dovolj se je v preteklosti pisalo o Kosovu kot najbolj kulturno in gospodarsko zaostali pokrajini. Bolj napredne republike, kot je recimo Slovenija, so se stal-i no pritoževale, kako jim odtok denarja za podporo Kosovu preprečuje napredek, a vsa podporna akcija da nima^pravega učinka, da bi Kosovo spravila na ■i lastne noge. Tako so 30 let mečkali po načrtih in od-'} redbah partije, pa dejansko prav malo dosegli. Morda j je šel denar namenjen Kosovu v druge žepe? Vsekakor so bili na vrhuški partijske hierarhije prepričani, da ’ imajo Albance v provinci Kosovo politično dovolj zanesljivo na vrvici in se zatorej nič nevarnega ne more. zgoditi.
Pa se je zgodilo! Član partijskega prezidija, Slovenec Stane Dolanc, v mladih letih izšolan v mariborski Hitlerjugend (za časa nemške okupacije), sedaj glavni tolmač kosovskih dogodkov, je priznal na dve-urni konferenci z 200 časnikarji, da so bili v vodstvu partije nad kosovsko vstajo presenečeni, iznenacleni, nič sličnega niso pričakovali ali z njim računali. Zelo verjetno je bila reakcija vlade in partije na demonstracije v Prištini, glavnem mestu province, in okoliških mestih zato tako pretirano ostra, ker ju je našla popolnoma nepripravljene. Tuji poročevalci so bili mnenja, da za obvladanje 2000 izgrednikov ni bilo potrebno, še manj umestno, pošiljati na lice mesta tanke in vojaške eclinice.
Tovariš Dolanc se je izgovarjal, da je vojaštvo moralo priti na lice mesta, ker so demonstranti odprl, ogenj, a logika pravi, da so pomenili tanki in vojaški oddelki naravnost izzivanje k nasilju. Ves dogodek je zahteval 11 mrtvih in 57 ranjenih, kar pomeni, da je bil spopad oster, vstaja po Dolančevi besedi pripravljena in organizirana. S tem priznanjem so komunisti uradno potrdili, kar jugoslovanska emigracija že vsa leta trdi: da je navidezni mir in zadovoljstvo v deželi le površinska politura, pod to pa vroče tli žerjavica nezadovoljstva in odpora. To pa ne samo v provinci Kosovo, ampak tudi po ostalih delih Jugoslavije, vključno Slovenija.
Ljudstvo na široko komunističnega sistema ne mara, a ga prenaša z nejevoljo, ker ne vidi izhoda. Kjer koli in kadar koli iz podtalne žerjavice švigne ogenj obsodbe in odpora, so seveda vedno krivi emigranti, ki so po Dolančevo ali fašisti ali pa kominformisti. To smešno obtožbo privlečejo vedno na dan, kadar gre kje kaj napak, nikoli pa ne priznajo, da je politika partije nesposobna zagotoviti ljudstvu zadovoljive življenjske pogoje. Tudi ni sposobna z modrimi ukrepi držati v šahu nacionalistične izbruhe v mnogo narodni državni • skupnosti. Nihče med nami ne trdi, da je ta naloga enostavna in lahka. Na Kosovem polju se je izkazalo po 35 letih marksističnega režima, da je teorija marksizma o mednarodni in pozneje nenarodni ideologiji enostavna iluzija. Nič ne pomaga zatrjevanje tov. Dolanca, da so na 135 mitingih raznih režimskih in par-
Beseda iz naroda...
Od besed do dejanj
Morda bo iz tega le kaj. U-rednik Ameriške Domovine nas spodbuja in poziva, naj bi poprijeli z zbiranjem arhivskega gradiva o slovenski prisotnosti v Ameriki. Njegov poziv je le zadnji v dolgi vrsti podobnih. Ameriška Domovina je objavila pred 16 leti moj poziv, naj bi podprli zbiranje arhivov v centru v Minnesoti, kjer je bilo prvo jedro zbirke prav slovensko. Na potrebo po ohranjanju arhivov sem se še večkrat vrnil in Ameriška Domovina mi je dala prostor za pisanje.
Leta 1969 je Vili, takratni u-rednik Ameriške Domovine, objavil uvodnik in v njem prikazal nujnost zgodovinske dokumentacije. Drugi so mu sledili. Lani je o tem pisal L. P., letos je list ponatisnil pozive, ki so bili najprej namenjeni rojakom v Argentini, a se tičejo tudi nas vseh. Urednik Susel se je zavzemal za zbiranje gradiva že davno, predno je prevzel uredništvo.
Morda bo iz tega le kaj. Najsi na to zbirahje gledamo kakorkoli, ni verjetno, da bo mogoče v Clevelandu ustvariti posebno ustanovo, ker zanjo ne bo mogoče zbrati potrebnega denarja. Arhivi niso le shramba. Potrebno jih je vzdrževati, nujno je strokovno usposobljeno osebje, ki zbirko spremlja, urejuje in o-hranja. Če arhivi niso urejeni in niso dostopni raziskovalcem, nimajo dosti pomena.
Prepotoval sem velik del Amerike v svojem iskanju slovenskih sledov, razpravljal sem z velikim številom knjižničarjev, arhivarjev, zgodovinarjev in drugih raziskovalcev, mnogo ur sem presedel v kleteh in na podstrešjih med zaprašenimi svežnji knjig, časopisov in listov. Moje izkušnje in gledanja merijo v realistično slikanje bodočnosti. Današnji izgledi so takile:
Arhivsko središče v Minnesoti je najtrdnejše. Iz dveh razlogov: center ima že zdaj naj obširnejšo urejeno zbirko slovenskega gradiva. Prevladuje isicer material iz naprednih vrst in organizacij, posebno iz arhivov pokojnega Ivana Moleka in SNPJ. Imajo tudi najobsežnejšo zbirko slovenskih časopisov in revij. Nedavno objavljena knjiga Jožeta Bajca: Slovensko Izseljensko Časopisje, 1891 - 1945, ki jo je izdala Slovenska Izseljenska Matica v Ljubljani
leta 1980, potrjuje, da imajo v Minnesoti marsikaj slovenskega, česar nimajo v Ljubljani. Drugi razlog je, da je' središče del univerze. Kljub finančnim težavam, s katerimi se danes borijo univerze, je življenje centra zagotovljeno. Četudi bi bila finančna baza okrnjena, so osnovna sredstva za ohranjanje tega, kar imajo, zagotovljena. Središče je pred nedavnim dobilo močno podporo od federalnih ustanov.
Druga središča tega zagotovila ne nudijo. V Ameriški Domovini srrio sicer brali, da je Kongresna knjižnica v Wa-shingtonu zdaj začela z zbiranjem tiskanega gradiva, vendar so se prebudili dokaj pozno. Tiskane knjige, časopisi in revije bodo zdaj sprejete ' v kongresno knjižnico, rokopisno gradivo pa verjetno ne.
Cela vrsta državnih, krajevnih in univerzitetnih 'središč hrani mnogo slovenskega gradiva, a je težko priti do njega. Predvsem zato, ker arhivarji sami ne vedo, kaj imajo v rokah in zato gradivo ni u-rejeno. V Kaliforniji je najobsežnejša zbirka slovenskega tiska v Berkeleyu, nekaj v časopisnem oddelku, starejše gradivo pa v Bancroft. Pred leti sem jim pomagal raz-vozljati uganko, kateri listi so slovenski in kateri hrvaški — da so popravili svoje kartoteke. Berkeley bi sprejel dodatno gradivo,a le takega, ki zadeva ameriški Zahod. Nimajo ne prostora, ne zanimanja, da bi zbrali kaj več,
Huntington Library v Los Angelesu ima sicer nekaj slovenskega tiska iz francoske dobe — podobno kot ga ima Newberry Library v Chicagu — a ne nameravajo zbirati emigrantskih arhivov, ker pač to ni namen njihove knjižnice.Nič slovenskega nisem našel v Portlandu, Eugene, Sacramento, Missoula, Helena, Reno, Cheyenne, Butte ali po manjših krajih. Pač pa sem naletel na nekaj arhivov, ki jih je pred leti zbral Stanley Kimball ter jih je daroval u-niverzitetni knjižnici v Salt Lake City. Arhivi niso prebrani, urejeni ali registrirani. Vsebujejo nekaj knjig, časopise iz Ljubljane, zapisnike slovenskih društev iz Carbop County, (Helper), imenik farne šole, nekaj osebnih pisem in potrdil.
tijjskih organizacij etniški Albanci v veliki večini obsodili demonstracije v Kosovu. Napraviti so morali to na pritisk partije.
Hkrati je Dolanc priznal, da je bila osrednja in temeljna točka demonstrantov zahteva po samostojni albanski republiki znotraj Jugoslavije. Samostojna republika ima po konstituciji pravico do odcepitve, in to imajo kosovski Albanci v mislih. Njihova nacionalistična ideja stremi za priključitvijo Kosova sosedni mali Albaniji. Kaj takega bi Srbi nikoli ne mogli sprejeti, da bi se namreč ta posvečena srbska zemlja izločila iz njihove nacionalne posesti. Nastala bi ogromna politična kriza, ki bi ji niti tanki in vojaštvo ne bili kos. ker bi se razširila tudi na ostale predele države. S tega razloga je Dolanc izrecno naglasil: “Ta nacionalizem smatramo kot protirevolucijski in nemogoč po konstituciji. V bistvu bi pomenil razpad Jugoslavije.”
Taka govorica označuje resnost položaja. Dopol-njuje jo še izjava vrhovnega partijca, tajnika partijskega prezidija, Dušana Dragosavca, ki je dejal:'“Obstaja sedaj resnična nevarnost, da bi se po zgledu albanskega nacionalizma pojavili tu in tam tudi drugi nacionalizmi.” Kateri nacionalizem je imel v mislih, ni nič namignil, verjetno je bil hrvatski in makedonski.
Kosovo je nevaren signal, ki oznanja svetu, da komunistična politika v notranjih zadevah Jugoslavije doživlja polom, katerega po-titovska partija ne bo sposobna zaustaviti.
L. P.
V Koloradu je položaj mnogo boljši. Najobsežnejša zbirka tiskanega gradiva je na univerzi v Pueblo: Gornikova zbirka, ki jo je pred desetimi leti ustanovil in finančno podprl John Gornick. Brez njega zbirke ne bi bilo. Arhivsko gradivo ni prebrano ali urejeno. Noben knjižničar ne zna dovolj slovensko, da bi zbirko lahko uredil. Drug slovenski material je v krajevni knjižnici v Pueblo, v državnih arhivih v Den-verju, nekaj tudi v knjižnici koloradskega zgodovinskega društva. Slovenske, fare imajo matične knjige in drug material. Ker razen v Leadvillu nimajo slovenskih župnikov, je nevarnost, da bo gradivo razen matičnih knjig, končalo na smetišču. Knjižnica v Leadvillu nima ničesar, podobno v Aspenu, Crested Butte, Cripple Creek, Colorado Springs, Trinidad in Walsen-burg. V Walsenburgu imajo le nekaj zapisanih razgovorov s starimi rojaki.
Drugod na zahodu? Kansas Historical Society bi bila v vrsti krajev, kamor bi bilo treba iti pogledat. Pri fari v Kansas City je nekaj materiala, a je težko do njega. Ne vem, kaj imajo v Pittsburgu v Kansasu, kjer je bila močna naselbina, s pismi se ne da dosti odkriti. Zbirka slovanskega materiala na Southern Illinois University v Ed-wardsville hrani nekaj knjig; zagotavljajo nii, da je nekaj tiskov tudi v Madisonu v Wisconsinu. Chicago Historical Society ima Molekovo o-sebno korespondenco, drugega pa ne. Doslej niso zbirali niti takega slovenskega gradiva, ki bi se tikalo Chicaga Pač pa imajo dokaj gradiva pri obeh podpornih organizacijah, SNPJ v Chicagu in KSKJ v Jolietu, poleg tega, kar je pri frančiškanih v Le-montu. Bojim se, da bo to gradivo izginilo, če se ne bo kdo resno pobrigal. Komu je dostopno, je meni uganka.
Da ne bo kdo po nepotrebnem iskal:	pretresti bi bilo
treba /velike strokovne knjižnice, do federalnih arhivov, do arhivov velikih organizacij. Delavske unije so imele slovenske oddelke. Kolikor vem, so arhivi dobro urejeni, a nedostopni. Tudi velika podjetja, ki so zaposlovala Slovence, imajo arhive, a tudi do teh je danes težko priti. Vrata so še, danes marsikje zaprta'. Velike univerzitetne ■ knjižnice gotovo hranijo marsikaj. Na Yale sem sicer našel le drobtine. Janez Stanonik mi je zagotavljal, da se na Harvardu skriva starejše gradivo iz Slomnikarjeve dobe. New YTork Public Library ima gotovo marsikaj; podobno mi zagotavljajo, da je obilo gradiva v Balch Institutu v Philadelphiji. Prepričan sem, da bo urednik rade volje objavil sporočila, kje je danes arhivsko gradivo, kje so zbirke slovenskih knjig in revij, morda tudi z napotki, kam naj . bi jih poslali, da se bodo ohranili.
Za večino knjižnic in lokalnih arhivov je material v tujih jezikih brez posebne vrednosti in ga smatrajo bolj kot navlako kot dragocenost. Ker ne vedo, kaj naj bi z njim, ga nekaj časa prekladajo z ene police na drugo; ko pa rabijo prostor za kaj drugega, vržejo stare in nerazumljive papirje na smetišče. Tudi velike, knjižnice uporabljajo ta postopek. Naša univerzitetna knjižnica je pred leti poslala na smetišče celo kopico hrvaških časopisov iz časa prve svetovne vojne, “ker letniki niso bili popolni’’. Prepozno sem izvedel, da bi uničenje preprečil. Cleveland Public Library se verjetno iahko po-
Gdč. Vera Pavlakovič raziskuje Slovence in Hrvate v Clevelandu
CLEVELAND, O. — Naročniki Ameriške Domovine, .ki prejemajo naš časopis preko raznašalcev, bodo našli danes posebno prilogo oz. obrazec, ki ga je pripravila študentka na univerzi Kent State, Vera Pavlakovič. Gdč. Pavlakovič študira geografijo in namerava napisati -disertacijo o Hrvatih, Slovencih in drugih Južnih Slovanih v Clevelandu. Da bi zbrala težko dosegljive podatke o nas, se je odločila za razpošiljanje obrazca, napisanega v angleščini in hrvaščini.
Kar bi rad poudaril pri tem, je, da je izpolnjevanje tega obrazca povsem prostovoljno. Ni obvezno, da ga izpolnite in vrnete (priložena je kuverta z znamko), dobro bi pa bilo, ako bi sodelovali. •
Gdč. Pavlakovič ima plačan oglas v današnji izdaji, v katerem obrazloži svoj namen. Študentka ima med drugim priporočljivo pismo od svojega profesorja na Kent State univerzi.
Preberite obrazec in se sami odločite, ako ga hočete izpolniti in vrniti.

Koncert Mladinskega pevskega zbora št, 2
CLEVELAND, O. — V nedeljo, 12. aprila, popoldne je imel Mladinski pevski zbor Kr. 2 SNPJ svoj letni koncert
**+***+*****+++****n**+++tm+.
naša s tem, da je uničila precejšnje število slovenskih knjig, ker “ni bilo več po-vprašešvanja”. Podobno se je zgodilo s knjigami in časopisi v Calumetu v Michiganu, Du-luthu v Minnesoti, v Chicagu, Pittsburghu, St. Louisu in San Franciscu. Zato si ne smemo delati nikakih iluzij: danes obstaja eno samo resno središče za zbiranje slovenskega izseljenskega gradiva. Tako središče je v Minesoti. Res ni pred vrati Clevelanda.
Res bi bilo koristno imeti tako središče v Clevelandu.
A Slovenci v Clevelandu niso preprečili uničenja /slovenskih, knjig v javnih knjižnicah, niso mogli obdržati v Cleve-lendu Novakove zbirke izseljenskega povojnega tiska, niso rešili spomenikov v narodnih vrtovih, niso prišli niti do sobe za arhive, četudi se že dvajset let govori o tem, ker . ni denarnih sredstev in jih verjetno tudi ne bo v bližnji bodočnosti. Dajmo gradivo tja, kjer so ga sposobni o-hraniti.
Nekaj ljudi se še danes zavzema, da bi gradivo poslali
(Dalje na str. 3)
v Slove hskem društvenem domu na Recher Ave. Temu zboru dirigira že mnogo let ga. Cecilia Valenčič-Dolgan, pomagata ji pa Kathy Hlad in Agnes Turkovich, za oder skrbi Jeff Loiko, slovenske narodne noše pa je naredila Jo-sie Valencie.
Kljub temu, da mnogi člani tega zbora pripadajo tretjemu ali četrtemu rodu, je bil koncert skoraj v celoti v slovenskem jeziku. To se je poznalo pri petju in še posebno pri izgovarjavi, najpomembnejše pa je, da ' skušajo pri tem zboru ohraniti slovenski jezik. Mnoge slične organizacije že ne obstojajo več ali podajajo prireditve izključno v angleškem jeziku. Dvoma ni, da gre največja zasluga pri tem predvsem ge. Dolganovi.
V prvem delu koncerta so bile slovenske pesmi, pri katerih je nastopilo več solistov. Nekateri so bili tako dobri, da so morali ponoviti svoje točke. Na koncu prvega delaZ so nastopili mladi plesalci, ki so pa bolj hodili kot plesali. Vseeno so bili prikupni, ako se bodo vadili naprej, bodo v bodoče bolj dovršeni. Plesalce je vadila gdč. Kathy Hlad.
Drugi del prireditve je bila slovenska kmečka ohcet. Nevesta je bila Christine Mihe-lich, žepin Johnny Klancher, mati. neveste- Andrea Spen-daf ppe neveste Tom Scheid, starešina Joey Tomsick, teta Nadme Lisac, drug Johnny Novak, družica Cathy Kastelic, Urša Jeanette Hiti, Francelj Tony Maje; prvo dekle Beth Ferkul, harmonikarja pa Jeff in Jim Loiko.
Vsega skupaj je na koncertu nastopilo kar 46 članov in članic tega zbora. Na vsaki prireditvi opazi obiskovalec vsaj nekaj novih obrazov.
Dvorana je bila dobro zasedena, kar je bilo pomanjkljivo pri tem, je bilo obnašanje n e k a t e rili med navzočimi. Med koncertom je bilo precej hrupa v zadnjem delu dvorane, nekateri so kar spretno in glasno kramljali med seboj, kot da bi bili v kaki gostilni. Celo se je zgodilo, da je neka oseba, ki je sedela pri mizi v prednjem delu dvorane, vstala sredi koncerta, ponosno odkorakala v bar in se vrnila s pijačo.
Tudi na drugih prireditvah j je opažati takšno obnašanje, j ki je seveda do določene mere izven kontrole organizatorjev. Kakšna razlika npr. od koncerta pevskega zbora Jad- | ran pred tremi tedni, ko jc | imel človek vtis sredi koncer- i ta, da sedi v kaki koncertni j dvorani! Vem, da je precejšen dobiček pri bari, naj pa bi bil bar zaprt vsaj med koncertom samim.
Koncerta se je udeležila nova jugoslovanska konzulka v Clevelandu, ga. Zofka Kle-men-Krek. Med odmorom mi jo je prijatelj predstavil in se je razvila debata o politiki, ki je trajala do začetka drugega dela koncerta. Gospa je vneta z a g ovornica komunističnega : režima v domovini — trdi, da je izredno demokratičen sistem — in ne odstopa od svojega prepričanja, kar je seve pričakovati.
Po koncertu je bila zabava, za ples je igral Ray PolanU orkester.
Dokler bo ga. Dolganova ’ vztrajala pri tem zboru, zgle' ; da, da bo še naprej gojil slo' vensko pesem in tradicijo v' slovenskem jeziku. Delo zah' teva požrtvovalnost vseh sodelujočih, kar je pohval0 vredno.

516. Zdravnica dr. Agnes žužek
od Medicinskih misijonskih sester sporoča iz Ethiopije 29. marca lepo rtovico. Takole piše glavni tajnici Ferjanovi: “Blagoslovljene velikonočne praznike naj Tebi, preč. g. K. Wolbangu in vsem članom MZA nakloni Vstali Zveličar! Še enkrat bomo obhajali temeljno resnico naše vere — Vstalega Zveličarja, Kristusa, človeka — Boga. Prosim Ga milosti, da bi mi vsi mogli vedno v našem vsakdanjem življenju Ga izpričevati, v naših besedah in dejanjih.
Od 1. maja bo moj naslov spremenjen na:
Sr. M. Agnes žužek Medical Mission Sisters P.O. Box 423 Diredawa, Ethiopia
To je naša druga postojanka, 700 km vzhodno od Atta-ta, proti Rdečemu morju. Dve naši sestri zdravnici že 5 let tam delata v državni bolnici, ^red dvema letoma sta začeli tudi s formacijo študentk, ki so izrazile željo, da bi postale Medical Mission Sisters. Še hodijo v zadnje leto gimnazije. Zdaj jih bo več in grem tja pomagat s tem delom.
Obenem bom delala v državni bolnici,
saj jim zdravnikov povsod Manjka. Sem pride mlada sestra zdravnica od M.M. Sisters, ki se bo učila kirurgije °d naše indijske sestre kirurginje.
Prosim Vas vse, Tebe, g. ^Volbanga in vse člane MZA, ha obenem z nami, priporoča-i0 ta podvig vzgoje deklet za redovno življenje, Bogu in Mariji, ki dobro vesta, kako Zelo so redovnice potrebne v Ethiopiji, če hočemo ohraniti katoliško prisotnost.
Pošiljam danes tudi ‘Ameriški Domovini’ spremembo naslova. Odslej boš dobila F.D.
direktno iz pošte iz Addis ^habe. Znamke pa pošiljam P0 barki. Mnogo pozdravov, v Kristusu Sr. M. Agnes,
SCMM.”
Sestri dr. Agnes, ki je povsod, kjer je dosedaj delova-a> zapustila lepo zastavljeno j^dicinsko delo in mnogo lvaležnih duš, želimo na no- '
vem službenem mestu obilni božji blagoslov in vsa MZA ji obljublja zveste molitve.
Iz Južne Afrike Fr. Franc Bratina
dne 22. marca piše lepo pismo za vso MZA:
“Z veliko hvaležnostjo sem prejel Vaše pismo in ček za $500, od katerih sem izročil $200 bratu Pozniču. Tudi 20 sv. maš sem že opravil po Vašem naročilu. Prisrčna zahvala tudi vsem, ki darujejo in zbirajo za nas misijonarje. Naj ljubi Bog vsem bogato povrne. Mi vsak dan molimo zanje.
Vaš ček nam je naredil več težav kot ponavadi, to se pravi več zamude kot težav. Moj sobrat je šel s čekom v mesto na banko. Namesto denarja so mu dali formular v tripli-katu za izpolnit. Ko on ni mogel podpisati, je prinesel vse skupaj domov, da jih jaz podpišem. Potem je trajalo mesec dni, da je prišel na banko in so ček sprejeli in vložili na naš račun. To se zavleče, ker smo daleč iz mesta in le redko kdo pride v mesto.
Misijonsko delo gre naprej kakor ponavadi. Naša dekanija leži v samoupravni deželici ‘LEBOWA’, kar pomeni ‘SEVER’, ker je pač prav na severu Južne Afrike. Ta naša črna vlada nam ne dela nobenih težkoč pri našem delu. En minster je katoličan in je tukaj blizu doma. Je obenem poglavar vasi. Kadar je doma, pride tudi k sv. maši.
Ima pa dve veliki težavi. Prvič nima otrok in sedanja žena ni poglavarskega rodu. Zato mu hočejo vsiliti drugo ženo, ki bi mu dala otroke in ti bi bili potem sposobni prevzeti poglavarstvo za njim.
Tam imamo tudi podružnico, ki se kosa z našo župnijo glede vernikov in glede velikosti cerkve.
Sedaj mi časa primanjkuje, ker bp kmalu prišel poštni avtobus, ki bo prinesel in odnesel pošto v 170 km oddaljeni poštni urad v Middelbur-gu.
Zato še enkrat prav iskrena zahvala vsem našim dobrotnikom. Naj Vas ljubi Bog
bogato poplača s svojo milostjo. Vaš iskreno vdani Fr. Bratina.”
Misijonar Albin Kladnik
piše 23. marca:	“Najprej
iskrena zahvala za pismo s prilogo 100 kanadskih dolarjev za 20 sv. maš. Hvala tudi za škapulirje, poslane istočasno po Gorjupovih. Na žalost se z njimi nismo srečali. Oni so šli k Indijskemu oceanu, v Durban, na počitnce in ko so se vrnili, se jim je zelo mudilo nazaj v Kanado in tako se nismo videli. Jaz sem kakih 80 km oddaljen od Johannesburga, tu v Silvertonu.
Meni gre kar po navadi. Zdi se mi pa, da se zdravje obrača na bolje ali pa sem se že navadil biti bolan. Sem še vedno pod nadzorstvom zdravnika in hodim na pregled v državno bolnico. Zavedam se, da je mojp bolezen neozdravljiva. Ne vem, koliko časa bo to stanje še trajalo? Zaradi tega sem še vedno tukaj v naši misijonski hiši v prestolnem mestu v Pretori-ji. Pomagam pa, kolikor morem, v misijonu v ogromni vasi za črne (čez 100,000 prebivalcev), ki leži poleg mesta za bele. Črni delajo v tovarnah, ki so jih beli zgradili med njihovim mestom in vasjo črnih. Seveda je poleg bogastva ogromno revščine. Zelo dosti nezaposlenih, zato so zločini na dnevnem redu. Posebno stari in bolni se mi zasmilijo.
Menda je g. Lenček javil P. Bratini, da namerava v kratkem priti v Južno Afriko. P. Bratina mene prosi, da naj jaz poskrbim za njega, ker sem samo 70 km od letališča. Meni je g. Lenček pred davnim pisal, da nas bo prišel o-biskat. Toda zadnje čase se ni več oglasil. Ko bo prišel, bom jaz šel po njega na letališče v Johannesburgu. Tukaj je zaenkrat vse mirno, a je vprašanje, koliko časa bo tako ostalo? Komunisti delajo proti Južni Afriki z vso paro. Saj so jo že obkolili.
Še enkrat se Ti lepo zahvalim za vse dobrote iz Tvojih rok. Prosim Boga, da Te ohrani pri zdravju in blagoslovi Tvoje delo. Hvaležno vdani A. Kladnik.”
Zaslužnim misijo nar jem Bratini, Kladniku in Pozniču želi MZA še mnogo let blagoslovljenega misij onskega delovanja, kljub pešanju zadnje čase.

v Ljubljano. Jože Bajec v Vivodu svoje bibliografije opisuje tako gradivo in pravi: “... po letu 1963 ... smo dobili iz ZDA več zabojev izseljenskega časopisja... Žal je večina tega gradiva v tako slabem stanju, da se, dokler ne bo restavrirano ali vsaj mikrofilmano, ne more uporabiti.” Iz tega je videti, da v Ljubljani doslej niso kaj prida napravili, da bi gradivo o-hranjali. Ko je odšlo iz Clevelanda, ni bilo v slabem stanju. V 18 letih v Ljubljani niso našli ne ljudi, ne denarja da bi se za ta dragoceni material kaj bolj pobrigali. Medtem pa je zbirka v Minnesoti nastala in se razrasla, material je urejen in vsakomur dostopen. V Ljubljani niti strokovnjaki ne morejo do njega.
Marsičesa, kar sem napisal v liste in revije, ne bi bil mogel, če bi se vsaj od časa do
časa ne spustil na pot, dva tisoč milj daleč do Minneapo-lisa, do gradiva. Naj izrečem na tem mestu posebno priznanje profesorjem Smithu in Vecoliju, začetniku in da-nanšjemu ravnatelju — ter celi vrsti arhivarjev in knjižničarjev, ki me že leta sprejemajo kot dobrodošlega obiskovalca, kljub mojim vsakovrstnim zahtevam. V petnaj-
stih letih so v Minnesoti u-stvarili središče za raziskovanje emigracije, ki se meri z največjimi podobnimi centri po svetu. Za nas je to središče še toliko bolj pomembno, ker je edino, v katerem so Slovenci polno priznani in zastopani.

ANDREJ KOBAL:
SVETOVNI POPOTNIK PRIPOVEDUJE
Ne vem, zakaj v verouku ni šlo tako gladko kot v drugih predmetih. Niti mali niti veliki katekizem mi nista delala preglavic. Vse je bilo lahko in kar smo se morali naučiti na pamet, sem navadno znal., Vendar sem se iz nepoznanega razloga nekam zameril enemu izmed dveh kaplanov, kateremu sem večkrat moral nastaviti eno ali obe dlani in udarec palice ni mč kako pekel.
Katehetov sem se bal od drugega razreda naprej, kp je v jezi kaplan kaznoval so-učenca iz Poljan, s katerim sem sedel v isti klopi. Kaplan je bil silno visok in močan. Ne vem, kaj ga je razkačilo. Sošolca je prijel z obema rokama in ga postavil, pravilneje rečeno vrgel na vrh glinaste peči.
Šele ko je deček začel tuliti, da ga preveč peče, je duhovnik dovolil dvema bolj odraslima dečkoma pomagali malemu s peči. Meni je kaplan tudi zapretil s pečjo in bal sem se ga zmerom.
Dekan Knaus je prevzel verouk v petem letniku. Čudaški gospod, doktor bogoslovja, katerega se ni bilo treba bati, je bil prava dobričina. Pod njim se je razred lahko oddahnil, kajti bil je pravo nasprotje kaplanov, ki nista poznala šale in nista nikomur nobene šale dovolila.
Katekizmu je dodajal pripovedke iz svetega pisma in iz življenja svetnikov, tako da je bil verouk zanimiv, včasih kar kratkočasen. Na primer, da nam predstavi, kako dolga je večnost, je govoril o diamantni gori, na katero se vsakih sto let usede ptičica in si obriše kljunček. Ni si mogoče misliti, kdaj bi se diamantna gora od kljunčka izrabila, toda ko gore ne bi bilo več, tedaj bi potekla samo, ena minuta večnosti. Razred je mogoče skušal misliti in se smejali, ne paraboli, ampak gospodu dekanu.

Knaus se je tudi vtikal v politiko, seveda ne v šoli, a celo otroci smo to nekako občutili. Delil je Cerkljane z o-zirom na politično pripadnost. Daši le vas, je bilo Cerkno že tedaj dovolj razširjeno, z deli pod raznimi imeni, kot Gasa, Blejk, Strana, Brče in druga. Strano, na primer, ki je bolj štela med liberalci kot klerkalci, je s prižnice in v šoli tožeče okliceval: “Strana moja rana!”

LARGE BEQUEST BOOSTS SLOVENE HOME FOR AGED
A Visit to Joliet and Lemont Memo: From Madeline
By Rudolph M. Susel
At its regular monthly meeting last Tuesday evening, the Board of Trustees of the Slovene Home for the Aged was pleased to receive a check from the estate of the late career U.S. naval officer James
A.	Laurich to the amount of $93,222.39. Several weeks ago the Home received a check from this estate to the amount of $16,918.11. Thus the total amount of the bequest from Captain Launch’s estate is $110,140.50, easily the largest single donation in the history of the Home. Attorney Paul Hribar, who represented the Home in this matter, present ed the check from the estate.,
Captain Laurich was a native of Yukon, Pa. and the administrator of his estate
>. • C-'
provided the Home with the' following biographical sketch: James Anthony Laurich was born on November 22, 1914, in Yukon, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, the son of Anton Laurich and Elizabeth Kovacic Laurich.
He served 28 years as a naval officer, attaining the rank of Captain.
During World War II, Captain Laurich served the 5th and 7th fleets in the Pacific. As an aviation management specialist, he held several senior posts, including manager of the Naval aircraft factory in Philadelphia, Mana-■ ger of the overhaul and repair base at Norfolk, director of industrial facilities of the Navy Department and director of the Bureau of Naval Weapons Management.
He also directed the worldwide Navy computer operational program. His ^inal Navy assignment before he retired in 1970 was as aviation adviser to the special Joint Logistics Review Board convened by the President.
For many years Captain Laurich was also co-publisher of the Tribune Press and the Free Press in Chisholm, Minnesota. 1 2 3 4
He was graduated from California State Teachers College, California, Pennsylvania, received a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh and did graduate work at Temple, Georgetown and American Universities.
He died on August 9, 1976, in Bethesda Naval Hospital, Maryland. '
Captain Laurich had a keen interest in his Slovenian heritage and visited Slovenia many times. His interest was further shown by generous giving in his will to Slovenian oriented groups. In addition to bequests in his will to family and other persons and groups, he made provisions in his will resulting in the following distributions being made by his estate:
1.	Slovenian Rest Home at Fontana, CA. — $16,918.11.
2.	Slovenian Rest Home at Cleveland, OH — $16,918.11.
3.	The Laurich College fund, to be administered by the Westmoreland SNPJ Federation and earmarked for college tuition grants for members of the SNPJ — $5,-525.0(1.
4.	SNPJ National College Fund — $60,905.23.
5.	Captain Laurich in- his will also made provisions for a Slovenian retired home to be known as thg Laurich Rest Home for Slovenes. Because this gift could not. be fulfilled, the Orphans’ Court of Westmoreland County, after a hearing, determined that the money would be paid as follows:
A.	Westmoreland County Pennsylvania SNPJ Lodges Federation, in addition to the college fund already granted
—	$5,000.00.
B.	SNPJ of Yukon for charitable purposes and uses
—	$5,000.00.
C.	Slovene Home for the Aged, Cleveland, Ohio, being in addition to the previous bequest — $92,222.39.
The Slovene Home for the Aged will-in due time arrange for a suitable memorial for Captain Laurich in conjunction with plans for additions which are .underway there.
The tcMai distributions made by the Estate : of - Captain James Anthony Laurich to organizations connected with Slovenia was $203,488.84.
Captain Laurich further bequeathed money to each of his two brothers for the specific purpose of allowing them to vacation in Slovenia, the land of their parents. Those gifts were accepted and used for that purpose.
Captain Laurich maintained close ties with his family through all of his life and was a member of the SNPJ of Yukon, Pennsylvania. He maintained an apartment in Arlington, Virginia, after his retirement and spent most of his time there.

Editor, Ameriška Domovina
Saturday morning, Mar. 21, the owner of American Home Publishing Co. and Managing Editor of the official organ of the KSKJ, Amerikanski Slovenec, James Debevac, and the Slovenian editor of Ameriška Domovina, Dr. Rudolph
M.	Susel, traveled to Joliet, 111. to attend the. dedication of; the new KSKJ - Office Buiid-
in®:! aw ,
The ceremonies topk place on Sunday and began !with a mass at 12:00 noon in the Slovenian St. Joseph’s church on
N.	Chicago Street. The mass
was given by Joliet bishop Joseph L. Imesch, with the assistance of Msgr. Louis Baznik, the former pastor of St. Vitus Church in Cleveland and the Spiritual Director of KSKJ, and Father Thaddeus Trpin, Pastor, and many other priests. The Church was almost filled with KSKJ members and parishioners.
CONCERT MLADIH HARMONIKARJEV
Pussy-willows have blossomed, trees grown green, grassy meadows verdant. Flowers everywhere are springing forth from their winter’s sleep in a multitude of colors, and the blue skies are filled with the singing and chirping of birds. The Easter season is upon us, and in the spirit of the Resurrection of bur Lord, all of Nature is awakening, filling everyone with joy and happiness. How beautiful everything is!
With the splendor of spring, comes time for the “Mladi Harmonikarji” (“Young Accordionists”) concert. The accordions will once again resound with songs and melodies of our Slovenian homeland, touching, moving, and refreshing our senses as a brisk, Spring morning.
The group “Mladi Harmonikarji” under the direction of Rudy Knez, with its 40 members whose average age is 15, will entertain you with a variety of musical selections, echoing the sounds of the accordion, the button box, the guitar, the clarinet, and the saxophone, and resounding the soft voice of a young girl singing, the delicate distinctions of a duet, and the strength of four-part harmony of/a men’s chorus.
Come and listen, and hear the sweet music that will ripple from beneath the brisk, flexible movement of the fingers of our young musicians.
The concert is this Sunday, April 26, 1981 at 3:30 p.m. in St. Vitus Auditorium. During the concert, there will be plenty of good food and drink, and after the show dancing and entertainment will be provided by the sounds of ensemble “Jasmin”.
We cordially invite all of our friends to join us this Sunday afternoon, and share in our love of Slovenian song.

Immediately after the mass, we traveled to the site of the new headquarters building, which is in western Joliet at 2439 Glenwood Avenue. Here we had to wait a while in a chilly wind, which only slightly marred a delightfully sunny day, until the- arrival of Bishop Imesch and other dignitaries.
' The first event was presentation of the flag of the United States by members of the Catigny Post No. 367 of the VFW in Joliet. Immediately afterward, Bishop Imesch gave the solemn blessing of the new structure. Next on
the agenda was an Open House, during which those present were invited to tour the new facilities. Questions were answered by employees of the Home Office and members of the Board.
The headquarters building is beautifully designed with an excellent exterior appearance, while the interior is both attractive and functional. The offices and other work areas are modern and in general give the impression of constituting a most desirable workplace.
On the lower level are various storage areas, a computer room, a' large meeting room and the vault, where the records of the KSKJ are stored. All of the guests with whom we spoke were favorably impressed with the results of the KSKJ Building Committee’s work.
Following the Open House, during which we had a chance to meet a great many KSKJ members and other guests, we went to the St. George’s Center for a cocktail hour, banquet and program, all of which was followed by a dance and social. AJJ in all it was a most enjoyable evening.
On Sunday morning, prior to the beginning of the day’s festivities, we had a chance to drive to Lemont to visit the religious shrine, which is under the care of the Franciscans. On the way we drove past the famous Joliet prison, where many a gangster spent some time, only slightly bemused by the roadside signs advising us hot to pick up any hitch-hikers.
As we found no one on the grounds at Lemont, we organized our own tour and walked across the scenic and impressive shrine. We also decided to visit the Alvernia Manor retirement home, which is immediately adjacent. To our good fortune, we immediately encountered the administrator of Alvernia Manor, sister M. Cecilia Adamic, who
said proudly that she was a Joliet native of Slovenian parentage.
Although we had appeared unannounced, Sister M. Cecilia provided us with a detailed tour of this superb and spotless facility. Several of the residents we encountered, allowed us to visit their tastefully furnished rooms. At the conclusion of our visit, Sister M. Cecilia introduced us to Sister Lorraine Luzar, who is from Cleveland and who asked us to pass on her greetings to her relatives and friends.
In short, we had a most enjoyable but all 'too brief visit to one of the oldest Slovenian settlements in the United States. Our thanks to all those who were so kind to us during our stay and with whom we had a chance to renew acquaintances or begin new friendships!

A QUESTIONNAIRE
A questionnaire is included in some of today’s issue of American Home newspaper. There is NO obligation to fill it out. It’s strictly voluntary. Vera Pa vlako vie is in charge of the questionnaire. She says:
I request your assistance in completing the enclosed questionnaire, which will be of interest to all of us with a South Slav heritage.
The information is supported by, and will be in the custody of The Western Reserve Historical Society and will be absolutely confidential. Only statistical averages and summaries will be used.
Very little research tracks the experience of Slovenians and CVoatians in the Cleveland area although many other ethnic groups are well represented in published works.
The questionnaire has ab-
solutely no political content and will not be used for political purpose.
We owe it to our children and our children’s children to record now, while it is still possible, the patterns of settlement of South Slavs in the Cleveland area.
I, personally, will appreciate your time that is required to complete the questionnaire, and thank you in advance. I hope that you will feel gratified to assist in this record for future generations.
Sincerely,
Vera K. Pavlakovic

Can you imagine the emotionally packed week that our fine well known Slovenian couple, Joseph and Josephine Ambrosic (nee Orazem) had to endure the week of Mar. 8, 1981? In less than a week’s time, their younger son John, only 29 years of age, was laid to eternal rest, and their older son Joe, age 33, was married five days later. It was just impossible to postpone the wedding since all the preparations had been made.
Many of us knew John as a star high school and collegiate basketball player and later as a basketball referee. He had undergone his 3rd brain tumor operation in the last 15 months or so. We were fervently hoping and praying that this operation would be the cure-all, the one whereby John would recover completely and again start enjoying life — but it just Was not meant to be.
At the wedding reception, it must have been an ordeal many of us could not stand up to, but Joe and Josephine, the bride and groom, Patricia and Joe, and all the rest of the Ambrozic-Orazem clan, valiantly attempted to hold back the fears, trying to share in the happiness of the event, and were perfect hosts to all of thb many guests at Št. Vitus Auditorium that Saturday evening of Mar. 14, 1981.
Our hearts go out to the Orazem-Ambrozic clan, on the one hand in deepest sympathy on their great loss, and on the other, sincere congratulations to them on their other son’s

marriage to Patricia Irene Quellh/orst, thereby gaining a daughter.
We have had so many sad events in the past 7 weeks, seemed like we were constantly going to wakes and funerals. Then I took an actual count and found that in that span, we had gone to no less than 12 wakes and funerals. That is an average of almost 2 per week! I cannot recall anything like this before in my lifetime. Some of \ these were people whom I knew from way back like Marion Kuhar, the fine soprano voice; Edward Skodlar, formerly of Bonna Ave., and active later at St. Christines; Mary Jane Štrukelj, my St. Vitus classmate and former neighbor at 6913 Hecker Ave., where she had lived for almost 60 years; William M. Gliha, the guy who always had a smile for everyone, never spoke a cross word against anyone, and loved to wwite for the “American Home”. In fact, it Was ironic that the editor published his last two articles in the Mar. 27th issues, which also announced his sudden death the day before. This was my shocker so far for the year 1981.
And then there was my old friend, Anton Zallnick, w^ho passed away two weeks short of his 91st birthday. Even at his age, I did not expect it yet, because he had come back so many times in the last 20 years from serious illnesses. But besides our good Slovenian physicians, Mr. Zallnick had a “private nurse”, his long time devoted wife Anna, who spent many, many
