Reagan predlagal premirje v Nikaragvi — Sandinisti in njihovi nasprotniki naj bi se udeležili neposrednih pogajanj
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je predsednik Reagan pozval sandinistično vlado v Nikaragvi in protisandinistične gverilce, ki jih sicer podpirajo ZDA, naj odobrijo premirje in se potem udeležijo neposrednih Pogajanj. Reagan je svojo pobudo ponudil v »duhu velikonočnega praznika«. Neposredna pogajanja naj bi posredovala rimskokatoliška Cerkev, cilj pogajanj naj bi bile mednarodno nadzorovane volitve. Sandini-stični režim bi pa moral po Reaganovem mirovnem predlogu napraviti konec represalijam Cerkvi, tisku in človečanskim pravicam v deželi.
Predsednik je dejal, da imajo sandinisti 60 dni, da pristanejo na mirovni predlog. Ako tega ne bodo storili, je dodal, bodo ZDA obnovile podporo protisandinističnim gverilcem.
Sandinisti so takoj zavrnili Reaganov Predlog kot povsem nesprejemljiv. Politični opazovalci v Washingtonu menijo, da je hotel Reagan vplivati predvsem na ameriški kongres, ki ni naklonjen vojaški podpori gverilcem v Nikaragvi. Demokratski kongresniki so rekli, da je Reaganova poduba le »novo vino v stari steklenici«. V Beli hiši Pravijo, da je pobuda iskrena.
Reaganova administracija nasprotuje proti-japonskemu razpoloženju Kongresa
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rastoče pro-tijaponsko razpoloženje, ki gaje moč čutiti v zveznem kongresu zaradi ogromnega ameriškega trgovinskega primanjkljaja z Japon-sko, ne more voditi do zadovoljive rešitve tega perečega problema, pravijo predstavni-1 Reaganove administracije. V zadnjem .asu govorijo vplivni kongresniki, med njimi Je tudi več republikancev, da morajo ZDA °dločno ukrepati zoper Japonsko, ker Japonci samo obljubljajo, nič konkretnega pa ne storijo, da bi imeli ameriški proizvodi lazjo pot na japonski domači trg.
Včeraj je pričal pred senatnim odborom zakladni tajnik James A. Baker. Senatorjem Je odkrito povedal, da ni rečeno, da bi ZDA zmagale, ako bi res prišlo do trgovinsko ovojno« med Združenimi državami in Japonsko. Res je sicer, je priznal Baker, da ntorajo najti večje mesto na japonskem trgu jtmeriški mesni in drugi kmetijski proizvodi izdelki telekomunikacijske industrije itd. 1 Pa nisem prepričan, je nadaljeval Baker, a bodo ZDA to dosegle preko kake trgovin-ske vojne.

Reagan in senatni republikanci dosegli
kompromis o zveznem proračunu
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj se je predsednik Reagan sporazumel z vplivnimi senatnimi republikanci o predloženem zveznem proračunu za fiskalno leto 1986. Reagan je pristal na zniževanje prej predlaganih izdatkov za obrambno tajništvo in tudi na zniževanje letnih povišitev pokojnin Social Security zavarovancev in sicer za tri leta. Po tem predlogu bi bile te povišitve nekoliko manjše, kot drugače dovoljuje zakon. Ako bo sporazum odobren v zveznem kongresu, utegne zniževati napovedane proračunske primanjkljaje v naslednjih treh letih kar za 300 milijard dolarjev, v fiskalnem letu 1986, ki se bo začelo 1. oktobra letos, pa za 52 milijard dolarjev.
Največ težav v kongresu bo imel predlog o zniževanju povišitev Social Security pokojnin (nihče namreč ne govori, da bi bile pokojnine kdaj kaj znižane), ker predvideva, da bi bile povišitve v naslednjih treh letih 2-odstotne letno. Po sedaj veljavnem zakonu se pokojnine Social Security povišujejo letno na podlagi inflacijske stopnje. To pomeni, da so letne povišitve večje od 2 odstotka na leto.
Razprava v kongresu o proračunu za 1. 1986 bo zelo dolgotrajen in zapleten rn ni pričakovati, da bo predlagan proračunski osnutek, četudi v spremenjeni obliki, odobren cd kongresa do 1. oktobra letos.
- Kratke vesti -
San Jose, Costa Rica — Včeraj so policisti aretirali Rafaela Cara Quintera, trgovca z mamili, ki je osumljen umora ameriškega agenta Enrique-ja Camarene Salazarja, ki je bil ugrabljen v Mehiki 7. februarja, njegovo truplo pa je bilo najdeno 5. marca. ZDA se še niso odločile, ali bodo prosile za izročitev Quintera.
Bagdad, Irak — Včeraj so Iračani izstrelili rakete, ki so zadele dve iranski mesti. Iranci poročajo, da je bilo ubitih več kot 40 ljudi, veliko več pa ranjenih. Iranci so v protinapadu obstreljevali iraške položaje ob bojni črti.
Washington, D.C. — ZDA trdijo, da
etiopska vlada ne deli hrane, ki jo pošiljajo zahodne države, od lakote trpečim prebivalcem. Etiopija namreč ne daje na razpolago tovornakov, ki bi prevažali hrano v prizadete kraje.
Ženeva, Šv. — Ameriški in sovjetski pogajalci nadaljujejo s svojimi pogajanji o omejevanju oborožitve. Sestanki so delovni, pravita obe strani, vendar do kakega vidnega napredka doslej niso prišli.
Sao Paolo, Bra. — Zdravstveno stanje
predsednika države Tancreda Nevesa se slabša, pravijo njegovi zdravniki. Neves, ki je star 75 let, je bil izvoljen predsednika Brazilije, ni pa še mogel zapriseči radi bolezni. Postal bi bil prvi civilni predsednik Brazilije v zadnjih 21 let. Na oblasti so bile namreč vojaške vlade. Predsednikove dolžnosti izpolnjuje 54-letni podpredsednik Jose Sarney.
Minneapolis, Minn. — Ta teden je malo
manjkalo, da nista trčila v zraku nad tem mestom dva potniška letala Northwest letalske družbe in sicer radi kontrolorjeve napake. Na obeh letalih je bilo skupaj 500 potnikov in članov posadke.

Vse najboljše, Slovenija!
(Uvodniški članek, ki sledi, je izšel v 10. oziroma zadnji številki za l. 1984 slovenskega tržaškega mesečnika Mladika. To številko smo prejeli v AD šele ta teden. Misli, izražene v Mladikovem uvodniku, so aktualne še danes in zato jih posredujem našim bralcem. Ur.)
Zelo naravno in zelo človeško je, da se ob iztekanju leta oziramo po prehojeni poti in se zamislimo v čas neposredno pred nami. To velja tako za posameznike kot za skupnosti. Pogled nazaj je obračun, ki mora upoštevati pravilne in zgrešene korake ter iz obojega povzeti nauk za naprej. Pogled v prihodnost pa zajema načrte in želje, ob tem pa sebi in sočloveku voščimo vso srečo.
Slovenija, ki ji v takem razpoloženju časovnega mejnika voščimo vse najboljše za leto 1 985 in čez, je mišljena kot celovita skupnost vseh slovenskih ljudi kjerkoli doma in po svetu. To je domovina brez predznakov matičnosti, zamejstva in zdomstva, dvignjena nad vse ločitve po mejah in daljavah, po raznolikih presojah sveta in sebe, po neenakih pogojih za svobodno in ustvarjalno življenje. Tako pojmovani domovini, kateri del smo vedno bili in vedno bomo, želimo pred novim letom vse dobro. Želja ni nova, saj je v nas prisotna prav kot ljubezen, to se pravi vedno. Nov je le datum, ko ta čustva obnavljamo.
Medtem ko ta želja poletava praznično visoko, pa se misel zaustavlja tudi ob živih stvarnostih, ki pogojujejo našo skupnost na vendarle raznolike načine in v raznolikih danostih. V letu, ki se izteka, je prišlo do važnih novosti, ki smo jih sprejeli v zavest z občutkom, da nismo obsojeni na stagniranje, da se nekaj premika.
CHICAGO, 111. - V Chicagu imamo že več let vsako četrto nedeljo v mesecu določeno za »šolsko nedeljo«. Namen šolskih nedelj je bil sestanek staršev, učiteljev in otrok, kjer naj bi otroci na kratko pokazali, kaj se v slovenski šoli učijo. Obenem naj bi ti sestanki služili kot družabno povezovanje v slovenski skupnosti.
Vse to se je v precejšnji meri uresničilo, vendar se je na žalost šola vsako leto bolj krčila, ker ni bilo zadostnega naraščaja. Tako je letošnjo jesen število učencev tako padlo, da smo z žalostjo v srcu gledali, kako slovenski šoli bije zadnja ura. Na srečo se je pa oglasil drugi plat zvona in nas z veselim potrkavanjem predramil ter opomnil, da še nismo na koncu. (Pucova Nandi je potegnila ta prave vrvi!) Čudežnega vpisovanja otrok res da ni bilo, a naše šolske nedelje so oživele in se razširile v lepe slovenske kulturne ure.
Tako smo na četrto nedeljo v marcu uspešno izvedli četrto kulturno uro, ki je bila v resnici lepa duhovna priprava na Veliko noč. Program je bil kratek, a primerno izbran in dobro pripravljen, pod Nandi-nim vodstvom. G. Andrej Remec, predsednik LIGE in ravnatelj slovenske šole, je navzoče pozdravil in napovedal točke.
Oktet cerkvenega zbora — Lojze Arko ga je pripravil — je pričel program z žalostinko: »Pojdi na Golgoto verni kristjan«, in poslušalce pritegnil v postno meditacijo. Spokorno in pazljivo smo sledili naslednji točki, Cankarjevi črtici »Četrta postaja«, katero sta z občutkom in v lepi slovenščini prečitala Veronika Puc in Peter Vlahovič. Težko razmišljanje o materinem trpljenju je oblažil nežni glas flavte — duet Erike Arko in Mojce Magajne.
Boštjan Bucik, najmlajši učenec naše šole, je korajžno povedal pesmico »Cvetna nedelja«. Nato je oktet ubrano zapel koroško postno »Glej mesto« in popeljal naše misli na Kalvarijo. Sledil je lepo, dostojanstveno podani »Križev pot za mladino«.
katerega so izvedli šolski otroci pod mojstrskim vodstvom g. Jožeta Rusa. Na koncu smo skupno zapeli »Kraljevo znamenje« in program zaključili z občutkom, da smo bili deležni bogate duhovne hrane — lepo pripravljeni na Veliko noč.

(P.S. - Naslednja kulturna ura bo posvečena pesniku Otonu Župančiču. Vsi lepo vabljeni na četrto nedeljo v aprilu - 28. aprila).
Prve lastovke
CLEVELAND, O. - Kdor zasleduje pisanje slovenskega tiska v domovini, je pretekle mesece najbrž skoraj z glavo majal ob polemiki, ki se je razvila ob vprašanjih povojnih dogodkov. V ospredju zanimanja so bili tako imenovanimi dachauski procesi, na katerih je bila vrsta članov Komunistične partije obsojena na smrt ali dolgo zaporno kazen zaradi »sodelovanja« z Gesta-pom v omenjenem zloglasnem koncentracijskem taborišču. Veliko razpravljajo tudi o »roškem pokolu«, kakor mu pravijo v Ljubljani, namreč o pokolu vrnjenih slovenskih domobrancev.
Medtem, ko je o dachauski zadevi v glavnem dal vse odgovore pisatelj Igor Torkar s knjigo »Umiranje na obroke«, so pa bila glede »roškega pokola« postavljena ostra vprašanja in zapisana skoraj neverjetna mnenja.
Tako se je sedaj sprožil prvi kamenček plazu resnice, ki bo nekoč prekril vse laži o »naro-dno-osvobodilni« vojni, pa tudi o »narodnem izdajstvu« in kontrarevoluciji. Mlade slovenske generacije se ne bodo več zadovoljevale z visoko zvenečimi izjavami, ker so sedaj spoznale, da sredi slovenske zemlje, v Kočevskem Rogu in drugod, leže tisoči njihovih bratov, katerih usode jim doslej še nihče ni resnično prikazal in razložil.
Nas, ki zdaj že štiri desetletja govorimo in pišemo o teh nesrečnikih v vseh delih sveta, ta polemika ne bo zazibala v brezbrižnost: sedaj se bo sčasoma vse razkrilo, samo od
Spodbudno se je nekaj zganilo za mejami (ali pa pred mejami) Matice, na Koroškem in na Primorskem. Velika zborovanja, porojena iz protestov nad kršenjem naših pravic in nad nezaslišanimi zamudami pri izpolnjevanju obvez do manjšin, so nas zdramila k novi zavesti. Odkrili smo, da imamo še vedno velike zaloge navdušenja, ponosa in samozavesti. Tisti, ki so jih zborovanja poklicala na odgovor, pa so se morali zamisliti tudi nad dostojanstvom, s katerim je bil izrečen protest. Paziti moramo, da bi se ta raven kdaj ne znižala in da bi kdorkoli ne poskusil manipulirati tega oživljenega toka energij in zavesti. Toda to je naša stvar. Naslovljenci opozorilnih klicev na Koroškem in Primorskem pa naj premislijo, kaj se jim bolj splača: prijateljstvo in pomiritev ali pa napetost in srd. Normalno bfbilo, da bi se tudi vprašali, s kakšno oceno bodo odšli v zgodovino. Kdor se za tako oceno ne zmeni, očitno ne daje dosti nase; temu primerno bo tudi spoštovanje, ki ga pričakuje od drugih.
V matični Sloveniji se je v minulem letu okrepilo občutje, da se narod ne končuje na črtah državnih meja. Po absurdu je tej prebujeni zavesti botroval sklep o tesnem priprtju meje. Vsem je bilo jasno, da je bila tista zapora zaukazana drugje, ne doma, in so to tudi dokaj jasno povedali. Kakšen sklep je širša javnost potegnila iz te ugotovitve, ne vemo natančno. Iz mnogih znakov pa lahko sklepamo, da
se je zelo povečala slovenska zavest, to pa lahko vodi tudi daleč. Tudi tam so morali naslovljenci — ne doma — razmišljati; tudi tam bo zgodovina beležila ocene.
Za slovensko osredje pa je zgodovinskega pomena še nekaj. Letos je bil z veliko strani pretrgan štiridesetletni molk o pokolu v Kočevskem Rogu. V javnost so prišle pogumne in plemenite besede, naj se davna državljanska vojna že enkrat konča tudi v srcih. Ostre protibesede, logične in pričakovane tudi zanaprej, ne zmanjšujejo dragocenosti modre in humane govorice, za katero je moč čutiti soglasje ogromne večine, ki si želi duhovne pomiritve za vso domovino. Kmalu bomo videli, kakšne perspektive ima plemenitost, ki jo pojmujemo zelo daleč od vsakršne politike in ideologije. Priložnost bo .dana že spomladi, ob štiridesetletnici konca druge svetovne vojne tudi na Slovenskem. Ob robu tistih svečanosti bi se dalo izreči besedo, tudi še tako drobno. Tisti, ki bi jo izgovoril, bi šel v zgodovino z visoko oceno. Pa še splačala bi se mu, že zdaj.
Tretja Slovenija gleda na vse te naše zamejske in matične probleme iz daljav. In vendar jo čutimo ob sebi, preprosto že zato, ker sploh še obstaja. Ta obstoj pa ni nič več in nič manj kot zvestoba lastnim koreninam. Tam se pa prepoznavamo vsi skupaj.
Pogumno in srčno naprej! Vse najboljše, Slovenija!
sebe. Če je namreč samo malo naše zasluge pri tem, da se je polemika v domovini slednjič dotaknila tudi tega najbolj žalostnega poglavja slovenske moderne zgodovine, potem nam mora biti to samo v spodbudo, da še enkrat napnemo vse sile in pomagamo resnici na dan.
O vsem tem bomo govorili na našem pomladanskem družabnem večeru, 13. aprila, v Slovenskem domu na Holmes aveniji. Pridite med nas vsi, ki vas ta vprašanja zanimajo. Poskrbeli bomo tudi za prijetno okolje in zabavo.

Ob praznovanju 70-letnice SND na St. Clair aveniji
CLEVELAND, O. - Preteklo nedeljo, 31. marca, se je v dvorani Slovenskega narodnega doma na St. Clair aveniji tu v Clevelandu zbralo več kot 400 gostov, da bi skupaj praznovali pomembno obletnico: 70 let od začetka organiziranega dela za osrednji slovenski narodni kulturni hram v Clevelandu in v ZDA sploh.
Kmalu po 2. uri popoldne so začeli deliti večerjo, nekako ob štirih popoldne se je pa začel res obsežen program, ki je trajal, z odmorom vred, skoraj 4 ure. Čeprav bogat in zanimiv, program je bil daleč predolg-Napovedovalec programa je bil Tony Petkovšek.
Program je otvoril pevski zbor Zarja, ki je mnoga leta domoval v SND, pred 25 leti pa se preselil v Slovenski društveni dom v Euclidu. Zarjani so zapeli ameriško in slovensko himno, pri slovenski pa zapeli »Hej, Slovani«, ne pa »Hej, Slovenci«. Moje mnenje je, da smo predvsem Slovenci, ne pa Slovani ali Jugoslovani in bi naj naša kulturna in tudi druga društva to resnico s p°'

Misijonar Rok Gajšek 8. marca sporoča iz Madagaskarja: »Po Pedrotu Opeki in Janezu Puhanu, ki sta se pred kratkim vrnila z dopusta in iz izrezkov petkove AD, ki mi jih redno pošilja gospa Štalzer, sem izvedel, da ste mi dodelili pomoč iz sklada MZA 1984 v znesku $400. Vam, dragi sobrat, in vsem dobrotnikom v MZA, ki ste na kakršenkoli način k tej svoti prispevali, najlepša hvala za tako dragoceni dar.
Oglašam se Vam iz Van-gaindrano, kjer smo pravkar, danes zjutraj, zaključili dvodnevni sestanek odgovornih -katehistov in članov neke vrste župnijskih svetov. Skupaj s škofom smo razpravljali o vlogi kristjanov pri uvajanju katehumenov in o tem, kakšno vlogo in nalogo naj igrajo in imajo kristjani v situaciji, v kateri se nahaja dežela: revščina, pomanjkanje, korupcija, trgovina na črno; kaj lahko kristjani naredijo kljub težkim razmeram. Nevarnost je namreč, da bi se prepustili usodi, rekoč: »Pretežko je, nič več se ne da narediti.« Upajmo, da so dobili novega elana. Mi jim bomo pa stali ob strani pri uresničevanju sklepov.
Za bližajoče se velikonočne praznike pa Vam želim sreče, globokega doživetja ob zavesti, da ima končno besedo zmaga: Vstali -Kristus. Vas prav lepo pozdravlja
Roj Gajšek.«

Nadaljujemo goreče z misijonskim sodelovanjem v MZA, ki nas druži in povezuje v Kristusu po vseh kontinentih. On sam bo naše večno plačilo, ko ^stegujemo roke, ogrete po molitvi in dobrih delih tolikih duš po vsem svetu. Blagoslovljen praznik Vstajenja vsem raztresenim sodelavcem in pionirkam vsepovsod!!!

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Za Materinski dan (Mother's Day) je uprava Narodnega svetišča (National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception) v Washingtonu izdala prav lično voščilno karto v pregibu, ki ima na zunanji strani podobo Brezjanske Marije in na zadnji strani oltar slovenske kapele v Narodnem svetišču. Pošilja jo prijateljem in podpornikom svetišča širom Združenih držav. Natisnjena je bila v 150.000 izvodih.
Ta voščilna in votivna karta bo gotovo zanimala Slovence, predvsem slovenske častilce mater, saj je zelo primerno voščilo za Materinski dan. Karta ni naprodaj — poslana bo pa vsakomur, za katerega bo uprava svetišča dobila ime s polnim naslovom. Kdor jo želi dobiti in uporabiti, naj pošlje svoje ime in naslov svetišču ali pa: Rev. Roger C. Roensch, National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Michigan Ave. & 7th St. NE., Washington, D.C. 20017.
S karto bo tudi dana prilika in poslano vabilo vključiti matere, če žive ali so mrtve, v devetdnevnico maš, ki se bodo zanje opravile v Narodnem Svetišču Brezmadežnega Spočetja v Washingtonu.

ŠTIRIDESET VELIKIH NOČI ŽUPNIKA METODA
- Povest -
Kolikor je dni v postu, toliko let že gospodari v cerkvi stari gospod župnik Metod. Lepa vas je Lipnica in dobri ljudje žive v njej, tako je premišljal sam za sebe cerkveni gospodar. Na obzidek pri cerkvi na hribu se je vsedel; starost in postni dnevi so ga utrudili. S pogledom je lovil vas, se kopal po njivah in holmih ter se umirjal v smrekovem gozdu.
Pred štiridesetimi leti je prvič videl to vas in farno cerkev. Poslan je bil, da nadomesti umrlega prednika. Bil je mlad, v začetnih moških letih, danes pa je vse drugače. Življenje ima svoj čas, tudi tega se je zavedal gospod Metod.
Odšel je na pokopališče. Na levi počiva Močilnikarjev. Velik posestnik. Na hektarje je štel svojo zemljo, danes jo je še šest pedi preveč. Preko steze počiva Žgajnarjev, potem pa kar po vrsti: Jernačev, Maroltov, Žgoncev, Čebular in Jančarjev. Same stare slovenske korenine. Na njih je stala vas, njih beseda je nekaj pomenila.
In Križmanov... Močan in velik, da bi lahko zvezde klatil z neba. Po drva je šel v hribe, nazaj ga ni več bilo. Smreka ga je podkovala, sneg in mraz pa sta ga zamrznila.
Župnik Metod je potegnil z desnico po mokrih očeh. Vse najboljše mu je že gospod Bog pobral... Pokleknil je v nasuto stezo, molil in blagoslavljal.
Čas je bežal. Čez dva dni je bila že Cvetna. Lep, sončen dan. Še pred glavno mašo so nabasali cerkev. Takih butar nimajo povsod, ena lepša od druge. Sonce je skakalo sem ter tja s svojimi žarki in božalo po zelenem listju, jabolkih in pomarančah, katere so visele raz butar. Po kadilu je dišalo. Orgle, pevci, zvonovi, vse v enem košu, da se je še lepše čulo v cerkvi in po vasi.
Po cerkvenem opravilu se je gospod župnik ustavil pred vhodnimi cerkvenimi vrati. Sonce mu je objelo glavo, sivi lasje so se lesketali v njem kot srebro, njegove modre oči so zaplavale po vernikih. V sanjah je gledal sebe —. pred štiridesetimi leti. Prav tako je bilo takrat, ravno na tej stopnici je bil stal.
Drugi dan je bil ponedeljek. Veliki teden.
Pri vsakem božjem opravilu polna cerkev. Z ragljami so Boga strašili, na Veliki petek so ga položili v grob pri stranskem oltarju, na Veliko soboto zvečer je župnik Metod zopet trikrat zapel Alelujo. Še je dišalo po cerkvi po popoldanskem žegnju in duh je bil močnejši od onega po kadilu.
In končno velikonočna procesija. Vsa vas je žarela od luči. Mlaji, možnarji, bandera, pevci, in potem verniki.
Vsako leto z vso lepoto vstaja Zveličar v tej gorski fari!
In potem na samo Velikonočno nedeljo pri deseti maši. Vse lepo oblečeno. Ženske Židane rute so šumele tako prijetno, kot bi hodil po posušenem, odpadlem listju, moški pa kar po vrsti, kot bi se že po-preje domenili s krivčki na za klobuki. Pomlad Velike noči, ljubezen in vaška vzjamnost. Tako lepo je ob velikih praznikih tu gori v gorah, tako domače, tako slovesno!
Vsepovsod so sekali v jajca in pomaranče in novo življenje z ljubeznijo med mladino je zadobilo svoj pomen.
Bil je zopet poseben dan — posebno za gospoda Mateja. Pri županovi hiši se je okrepčal in dobil novih moči, saj^e je postil vseh dolgih štirideset dni.
Ko so s kozarci trčili v zmago Vstalega, so po molitvi na koncu dodala oba kaplana: »In v zahvalo za vse prejeto — Amen - Aleluja!
Ob praznovanju
(nadaljevanje z 2. str.) sebnim poudarkom izpričevala ob vsaki primerni priliki. Med take prilike pa je gotovo spadalo preteklonedeljsko praznovanje. Treba pa je povedati tudi, daje Zarja dober zbor, pod vnetim vodstvom sorazmerno mladega Richarda Tomšiča. Lep solo je imela Barbara Elersich.
Edward Kenik, predsednik direktorija SND zadnjih 15 let, je goste pozdravil v imenu SND in se jim zahvalil za navzočnost in podporo. Mimogrede povedano, akcija za finančno podporo SND ob 70-letni-ci je prinesla kar čednih 20 tisoč dolarjev. Imena vseh darovalcev, tako posameznikov kot društev, so bila v lepo tiskanem programu, ki ga je prejel vsak gost.
Ko je Zarja zaklučil nastop, je g. Petkovšek priznal razne ugledne goste v dvorani, clevelandskega župana Georgea V. Voinovicha pa prosil, naj pride na oder in spregovori. Župan, ki odhaja na obisk v Slovenijo z ženo Janet in materjo Josephine Bernot že v ponedeljek, je v zbranem nagovoru poudaril, kako pomembno je SND za senklersko naselbino. Brez SND in brez cerkve sv. Vida, je rekel, bi ne bilo naselbine več.
Potem so nastopili člani in članice hrvaškega Cleveland Junior Tamburitzans, ki vadijo v SND. Zelo so navdušili s svojim nastopom, predvsem so bili dobri fantje, ki so plesali.
Glavni govornik dneva je bil clevelandski odvetnik Charles F. Ipavec, ki je hkrati predsednik Federacije Slovenskih narodnih domov v mestu in okolici. Tudi on je govoril o pomenu SND v širši slovenski
skupnosti. Lep govor, k sreči tudi kar precej kratek.
G. Ipavcu je sledil Krožek št. 2 SNPJ, ki ga vodi Cecilija Dolgan. Nastopilo je kakih 50 otrok, katerih večina je bila mlajša od 13 let. Razveselili so publiko, ne toliko zaradi njih dovršenosti v petju kot z njih navdušenjem, to predvsem v slovenski verziji otroške pesmice »Old MacDonald«. Učiti in kontrolirati toliko mladih otrok mora biti zahtevno delo in bi skoraj pričakoval, da bi se živce ge. Dolganove po tolikih letih popustile.
Prvi del programa so zaključili plesalci Slovenskega folklornega inštituta. Zaplesali so dva plesa, ob začetku drugega dela pa še dva. Deležni so bili hvaležnega aplavza. SF1, ki ga vodi ga. Eda Vovk Pušl, se pripravlja na festival slovenske folklore, ki bo letos 10. in 11. avgusta na ADZ izletniškem letovišču v Leroyju.
Pomembna točka na programu je bila priznanje dvema zaslužnima društvenima delavkama, ki sta bili dolga leta aktivno povezani s SND na St. Clair ju in sicer Antoinette (Tončki) Simčič in Mary Grill Ivanusch. Krajši biografski oris obeh je prebrala Ann Opeka ter obema izročila priznanje. Tončka — tako jo poznamo vsi prijatelji in znanci — se je zahvalila z lepim nagovorom v zelo lepi slovenščini. Zahvalila se je tudi Mary Grill Ivanusch.
Predzadnja kulturna skupina na programu je bil pevski zbor Glasbena Matica, ki je pa bil slišati celo boljši od nedavnega koncerta. Zbor vodi

Program je zaključila USS godba na pihala, pod vodstvom Normana Novaka. V zaključni točki sta Glasbena Matica in USS godba sodelovala v pesmi: »America, The Beautiful«.
V prizidku je bila lepa razstava Slovenian National Art Guild, pred in med večerjo so goste zabavali sprehajajoči se harmonikarji John Klancher, Jim Loiko, Tony Mihelich in Joey Tomsick.
Vso pohvalo zaslužijo člani direktorija SND in sploh vsi, ki delajo, da bi še dolga leta živela in služila skupnosti ta prepotrebna ustanova! Ur.

Easter Beginning
by Most Rev. Anthony M. Pilla
Bishop of Cleveland
The story of Easter begins with the empty tomb. What looked like an ending was in fact a beginning. The followers of Jesus, thinking it was the end, hid behind locked doors fearful and disillusioned by the events that led to the end of their Master. After all, they were hoping He would be the one to set them free. It was only a matter of time before they recognized the “Risen One” and sang an Alleluia. “What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.” T.S. Elliot
Easter is a new beginning, a moveable feast carefully situated during Passover in the spring of the year when the earth and all creation come to life again. Easter is not the conclusion of Christian life but its inspiration. It is not the last story in the Gospel, rather the first account that gives the others meaning. Easter is the starting point for a new era of faith. Easter is the beginning of the reign of God, the Kingdom on Earth that assures us that the passage from death to life is begun.
Easter is a feast of victory for God and humanity. It is not the coveted property of a few, but the undying hope that broods deep within the human spirit.
Easter is a feast for all seasons, so much so that early Christians referred to each Sunday as “little Easter,” for iheir continual hope was that life always triumphs over death and in the end all creation shall be new.
Christians are an Easter people and their song is Alleluia! During this Season our churches and assemblies will echo and resound the Easter Alleluias. But this victory chant will also echo in the empty tombs of our sometimes troubled lives. It will resound in war-tom coumries who have already offered too many martyrs. It will linger in the hearts of parents who fear for the lives of their children. It will comfort some and confront others, but it shall be sung.
The time to sing a new song is now!
When justice becomes a more valuable weapon than oppression, we shall sing an Alleluia.
When cooperation becomes a more vital system than discrimination, we shall sing an Alleluia.
When compassion becomes a more viable attitude than hatred, we shall sing an Alleluia.
When we stand in front of an empty tomb, thinking it is the end, we shall sing an Alleluia, and know that for the first time... It is the Beginning!

When members and friends the West Park Slovene . °nie gather Saturday even-ln8, April 13 for a dinner to Celebrate the 65th anniversary the Slovenian Home at West 130th it will be similar to dedication ceremonies 'vhich took place in 1920.
^hen the Home was planned as a meeting place in the west s'de Slovenian community to ^commodate social and raternal activities. Did those Anders have any pre-cOriceived idea of what the hall ""Quid be like 65 years later? The directors often reminisce *bout enjoyable past functions "'hich we attended in our ^°uth. There were stage plays, j^ncerts, weddings, tent ba2aars. dances in the original Stball hall to the music of ^°yer-Sims, Johnny Pecon, ^ckie Zorc, Lou Tribar, hankie Kozuch, etc. There
were delicious sandwiches oozing goodness, intimate bar room and reasonable prices, up-to-date dress styles, romances, and various characters who made it all so interesting. There were loyal managers who served for years as well as dedicated women, our mothers who make up the kaleidoscope of those nostalgic never to be forgotten golden years.
While looking for history of the Home I was amazed to discover letters of the late John Mismas, Financial Secretary during the late forties and fifties. His was a dedication to the Home unsurpassed by any previous officer or any who came after. He saw a need in the community and left no stone unturned to effect changes. He prodded councilmen, mayors and influenced transportation of-
ficials to improve our condition in this location, as we had been somewhat forgotten. John’s own home was open to anyone needing his expertise to notorize documents, assist in direction or advise of rights. He was gentle, unassuming, humorous and sincere.
From the very beginning there have been many influential members of the Board, some now deceased, such as Mrs. Cecelia Brodnik, Louis Sinkovič, Joe Cukayne, Frances Miklich, Mickey Dan-cul and Louis Zupančič, and many more. Among the inactive today are Josephine Gabriel and Stella Dancul and Nell Strodbeck.

St. Peter Parish Roast Beef Dinner and Bazaar
St. Peter’s Church, E. 17 and Superior, is again sponsoring an annual Roast Beef Dinner and Bazaar on Sunday, April 21 from noon to 5 p.m. The church was dedicated in 1853 and is the oldest church in continuous service in the city of Cleveland.
This annual event helps with the constantly escalating cost of on-going maintenance and repairs. The cost is only $6.00 for adults and $3.00 for children. The food is all prepared by the parishioners.
St. Peter’s Church was originally solely a German Church and at the turn of the century the membership was over 3,000 families. As a matter of fact St. Vitus Church started at St. Peter’s, and when the Notre Dame Sisters first came to the United States, their first convent was at St. Peter’s.
Reverend Frank P. Kosem is
pastor of St. Peter’s Church.

He who will write of the emigrant experience as it really was, will make a great con-Wbution to Slovenian history and literature. So Dolence had heard many times and thus he writes of one such experience, that of his own. He comes to the reader with yet another appeal to kneel at the sacrificial altar where countless thousands before, pioneers ar|d emigrants, had offered themselves by leaving the | relatively warm precincts of their homes to risk a new land, a different environment, mak-ln8 one’s way among Grangers.
Dolenc, in the aftermath of the last World War becomes a jsplaced person and found 'mself in a camp in Vienna, a refugee from Yugoslavia.

Book Review
Za Dolar Človečnosti, by Ivan Dolenc, Prešernova Družba, Ljubljana
some to Montreal, and a few went to the far western cities. Dolenc was listed for transfer to Winnipeg. The train to Winnipeg in central Canada took several days. There were several listed with Dolenc for the Winnipeg transfer. On arrival in Winnipeg, they were received by officials who installed them in low cost hotels. There was a minor attempt by the local Yugoslav community and the local Catholic church
to be of some assistance, mostly in showing them the ropes on how they might get jobs.
They were instructed by the officials as to how to make regular visits to the employment agencies connected with the immigration offices. One important group arranged for some warm clothing for the harsh winters — the clothes they had brought with them were completely inadequate. But the important thing was to get out and find jobs. They tried every device suggested to them — walking from plant door to plant door, from employment office to employment office, to scanning the newspaper ads, and even in simply meeting people and askng them if they knew of any possible employment.
The arrival unfortunately was in the heart of winter, in February, and in that part of the country nothing opened up until spring. But somehow or other they scraped through, but barely. They ate warmed up canned foods, lots of coffee, and since most were smokers, they managed to get cigarettes. There seemed to be
snow all the time, and just getting around was difficult, as the sidewalks and roads were generally slippery from the ice covered streets. No one starved, but no one ate well. There was no comfort in the fact that this appeared to be their future for a good while to come, living from hand to mouth. They were reduced to taking all kinds of menial and low paying jobs: orderlies in insane asylums, manning gas pumps at gas stations over weekends just for cigarette money. All this Dolenc describes in considerable detail — the excruciating experience of job hunting with little hopes arising now and then, only to see them shattered within a day.
In perhaps the most fallow period of this fruitless job hunting, Dolenc got word that his wife was arriving with the children — three of them in New York. He was advised to forward money so that they could come to Winnipeg by plane upon their arrival. Dolenc was escatic. He had by this time befriended a former Yugoslav immigrant, Dushan with an Indian (Mohawk) wife, Nancy. They were his life savers and of great help in arranging to get the airfare money. They exulted with him on the arrival of his family. When the family did arrive, Dolence was in his glory. Somehow, he did find a bit better work, very little better, but survive they did:
After a year of this, a fourth child was due to come. It was time to make a important decision — to leave this cold in-

hospitable prairie land, this wild west of Winnipeg country, and go to a center of civilization. Toronto, it turned out, was their choice. Toronto, they knew by now, was where a large Slovenian community existed. They even had a Slovenian newspaper. Here they would feel at home in the Slovenian ambience, even though still far away from Slovenia. On this upbeat note the book ends.
Za dolar človečnosti is a
phrase that appears in the middle of the book, before the family arrives from Yugoslavia. As a much deserved respite from holding three or four part time jobs simultaneously, just to survive, Dolenc finds himself invited to join a small drinking party picnic — three men and a woman — a nymphomaniac.
Dolenc philosophises a bit as to why people leave their homeland to go to far off lands to begin anew. Some 70 million came to the American shores since the landing of Columbus. Why did they come, really? Dolenc’s story gives one of the answers. But it is a good question to ask again and again.
Why did these 70 million come to these shores? Where did they actually come from? Some came as escapees from religious persecution, some from potato famines of Ireland some from the economic disasters of Germany, some as war refugees of the recent European wars. But initially they came for a Darwinian reason. Hemingway asked the right question. As he was climbing with a party up the slopes of Mount Kiliman-
jaro, they came upon a leopard frozen in its tracks after it had managed to get to this craggy height up the mountain. And Hemingway asks, “Why was he there?” He was there because of an instinct shared by all living creatures — the instinct to probe for new niches for better survival — not only for self, but for those still to be born to him and his mate. This instinct is so strong that a self sacrifice, is often made to propagate the species. Going back to as far as the very first creatures on earth — some three and a half billion years ago, the one-celled creatures sought new regions in the sea for a more bountiful food supply. And it is this motivation that impelled the first settlers to these shores. Not fortune seekers basically but this of course can not be ruled out as a factor. Finding trade routes was a big business several centuries ago.
The book is very well written. One is reminded of that superb book by Mary Molek, “An Immigrant Woman,” wherein is described how Mary Molek’s mother coped with an indifferent environment on her arrival to this new land, and by sheer will converted it to one that served her, and later, her children. A conquest by the human spirit.
The book, a little on the thin side, some 190 pages, gives Dolenc’s personal story up to the time he and his family depart for Toronto. A sequel is now in order, preferably in English. It should describe how in one generation he becomes a source of culture for the Slovenians.

MONTHLY ECONOMIC REVIEW
March 19B5
/hierilhist
Eržen Recalls the Slovenian Pioneers
Most observers were surprised by the strength of the economy during the fourth quarter of 1984. The momentum generated during the final months of 1984 should keep the economy in motion throughput 1985. Real CNF growth is expected to remain above the 4.0% mark for each quarter of the current year, growing 4.1% for the entire year. Prior to the release of the fourth quarter numbers, we were looking for 3.2% real growth for 1985; however, the stronger than.expected fourth quarter figures forced us to shift our forecast upward. On the 21st of this month the Department of Commerce will release its "flash" estimate of first quarter GNP growth. Although this release is a very rough estimate, and subject to major revisions, its release is always anxiously awaited and its resulting effect on the markets can be significant.
ID
<
If the index of leading economic indicators is a reliable indication of future economic activity then continued economic growth in the months to come is assured. The index advanced 1.7% during the month of January. This turned out to be the sharpest increase since June of 1983 when the index rose 1.9%,

In addition to the rise in leading indicators, retail sales advanced 0.7% during January, rebounding from a December setback of 0.5%. The only caveat to this release was the strength of auto sales which jumped 4.0%. Excluding autos, total retail sales for January decreased 0.1%. Industrial production in January continued to expand, increasing 0.4% following a revised December gain of 0.5%. Likewise, the rate of capacity utilization swelled to 81.9% during the first month of this new year. In December, the rate registered 81.7%. The consumer is also expected to contribute to the renewed momentum, as was evidenced by the January increase in personal income of 0.5%. This increase came on the heels of a revised December rise of 0.4%. Sustained growth in personal income, combined with an upturn in consumer confidence and a downward trend in unemployment, will translate into stronger consumer spending in the months to come.
Consumer and producer prices remain subdued as evidenced in the table below.
Though the inflation outlook has displayed definite signs of improvement, it should not be considered totally acceptable. The only acceptable rate of inflation is zero.
It is apparent that interest rates will not drop as low in the first quarter as we had originally anticipated. In light of the recent surge in GNP growth and a Central Bank that is not likely to loosen itfs grip on the money supply, we have raised our forecast for interest rates. For example, we had originally expected the prime rate to average 10.3% during the current quarter. However, it is doubtful that the prime will be lowered below it's present level of 10.5%. A similar upward adjustment of first quarter forecasted rates should be made, however, we have no reason to change our interest rate forecast for the remainder of the year.

Bill Allows Law Agency Seizures
Ohio State Representative Ronald J. Šuster (D-19, Euclid) informed the American Home the Ohio House of Representatives recently approved a bill which
would allow police departments and other law enforcement agencies to seize contraband used and obtained in criminal acts. Substitute House Bill 6, co-sponsored by
Representative Šuster, passed the House by a vote of 91-0.
Šuster said, “The bill will provide law enforcement agencies with an additional tool to fight organized crime.”
by STAN J. ERZEN
In my last article, quite a bit of space was devoted to the picnic areas, wineries and vineyards. The automobile was then coming into prominence in the late teens and twenties and I would like to let the younger generation know what the first automobiles were really like.
The trips the families took to the picnic areas and out to the country was not always a joy ride. Problems with cars occurred quite often. Cars stalled and tires went flat. Taking the tires off required one to get the rubber off the rims and then patching the inner tube. It was a time consuming operation. After the inner tube patch dried, everything had to be reassembled, and then pumpat up.
During the winter, some car owners put their cars up on blocks in their garages. Radiators were drained, as permanent anti-freeze was not yet developed. Old blankets were used to cover up the cars.
In spring the autos were brought out of “hibernation” and prepared for summer use. Some of the early car owners were under the impression air left in the tires over winter was stale. Therefore, they drove to the gas station, let out all the “stale air” and inserted fresh air.
Leftovers
In my last article I made reference to Recher picnic farm. Mr. Recher’s son, Lou, started a gymnasium on E. 222 St., just south of St. Clair. He operated the gym from 1931 to 1954. His students were primarily wrestlers and weight lifters. Lou himself was one of the strongest men of that era. A couple of his pupils were Junior U.S. Weightlifting Champions.
Augie Snyder at 118 lbs. and Mike Hudak at 126 Lbs. could clean and jerk 225 Lbs. overhead three times.
Lou judged Mr. America contests in the thirties and forties.
A former wrestler and police chief of Euclid, Ohio, Charley Fox came often to work out at Recher’s gym. The legendary strong man Peter Zebič also worked out there. At one time he was touted as the second strongest man in the world. He could tear in half four decks of playing cards. Lou Recher could tear three decks of cards in half. Lou often traveled with Zebič to assist him in his exhibitions of strength.
Another gym was the Raymon AC. It was operated by Joe Raymond (Poznik). He began the gym on E. 185 St., then moved to E. 152 and Aspinwall which he operated for 20 years from 1934 to 1954. He also excelled in weightlifting and wrestling, in addition to training some boys for the Golden Gloves tourneys.
In reviewing my last article,
some individuals were inadvertently omitted. They include Sgt. Wally Frank, Lefty Souček, Eddie Marolt, Jack Kuret, Mike Orazem, Eddie Kovick, Bill Duffin, & Marinčič and Jack Parsons.
All good Recher Hall patrons.
Also missed were a couple of excellent grape farmers, Anton Debevc and the Kohli’s. both from Geneva, Ohio.
A couple of wineries were overlooked. They were the ones run by the Lausche Family, E. 62 and St. Clair, and the Marinčič Winery on Sylv'a Ave.

Tired of Rock? Try the Slovenian Button Box Bash III
Slovenian Super Sunday -Button Box Bash III — SSS -BBB is coming on April 14. Plan now to be a part of the revival of Slovenian button accordion music.
Are polkas dead? Your attendance at the Super Button Box Bash will affirm that polkas are alive and Slovenian music will thrive in 1985. Let’s turn corner for a new beginn-'n8. a vigorous campaign to make our happy, toe-tapping music number one again.
Are you tired of watching noisy freaks, punks, and menageries walking off with music awards? Support our kind of music. Slovenian music must be good. It has been passed on for centuries, n°t just a day on the Rock charts.
If you think listening to 16 accordion groups is repetitive,
y°u are in for an unexpected delight. Each ensemble has its own personality and style.
The Fairport Ensemble catures an electric organ in its arrangements. They will perform in Slovenia this summer, western Penn. BBC draws Players from many of the oroughs near Pittsburgh for-
ming one of the largest groups (30). From all reports, the Yukon BBC from Penn, has a lot to offer, including the talented Yemec family.
Magic City BBC has an enduring, genuine leader in Frankie Spetich Sr., of Barberton who has had a top polka band for years. Joe Kusar had a polka band 45 years ago and today teaches and directs his students or “gang” as he calls them, at music festivals.
The Euclid Squeezeboxers, one of the newest clubs, has the spark of youth with its energetic, smiley teacher, Joey Tomsick. The West Park BBC, a mainstay of the Slovenian Home on West 130th, really enjoys entertaining you. The Holmes Hal) Buttonaires bring together the Collinwood area’s best players.
How about Herminie, Pa.? They have just returned from performing at Epcot Center at Disney World in Florida. The Lorain Button Accordionists are so popular they have a Booster Club. The Akron BBC includes our German friends. Maple Heights BBC was one of the first clubs to

Do you remember the serials when 15 minutes were shown each week and the hero was left in a precarious position. You had to return to the show the following week to find out how he got out of the predicament. Then 12 minutes later, he became subjected to another situation which was “impossible” to escape. After 12 or 15 weeks the serial came to a conclusion.

Vacation Trip To Mexico Goes To Acapulco
(Continued)
By Eleanor Cerne Pavey Today Taxco is sprawled over a rugged hillside and has changed little in appearance since its early years. The government has declared it a colonial monument and prohibits the building of modern structures. Almost all of the houses have red-tile roofs. Streets are narrow, paved with 5 cobblestone, and twist every < which way — we know, as we almost lost our way walking back to the bus. Taxco has become an attractive place for artists who have come here from around the world.
At the conclusion of our Taxco tour, the rest of the tour

passengers left to return to Mexico City. Just Bertha and I were to stay overnight in Taxco. We were driven to a travel agency where we were told that our bus would arrive in ten minutes to take us to our hotel. Patiently we waited — one hour and fifteen minutes. Finally, the man in charge said that he would get us a taxi to take us to our destination, no charge to us. What a delightful surprise was in store for us. We had observed a magnificent hotel high on the hill resting on top of La Camera mountain — the Monte Taxco — and this became our destination. Taking a winding drive up a steep but safe road to an altitude of 6,100 feet, we reached the hotel to be shown to our room (one of 160). Each room had its own balcony facing the city on the opposite side of the hill and the view was simply breathtaking. We freshened up and went down to one of the restaurants to have dinner. There was an orchestra playing and only one other American couple in the room! This was a Thursday evening and we learned that
the hotel becomes a swinging lively place during the weekends. It is also a favorite spot for families to enjoy the 100-mile view, have a glorious time using the facilities — golf course, tennis courts, horses, club houses, steam baths, swimming, and just enjoying the lovely scenery and smelling the air perfumed with the scent of flowers.
We found out that the American couple had taken the cable car to come up to the hotel and had their luggage brought up by taxi. Wish we had known about the cable cars.
There is a private airport and transportation is provided between Mexico City, Taxco, Acapulco, and Ixtapa Zih by AEROTAXCO.
We returned to our room to relax on the balcony and thoroughly enjoyed the

panorama of the city on; the opposite side of the hotel with its lighted buildings and street lights making the scene a kaleidoscope of color.
There was a rap on the door and my sister said that I bet that’s someone to say that we had been given the wrong room — it was so beautiful. Instead, it was a young girl with a flower for each of us to welcome us to the hotel. What a nice gesture!
Our bathroom was large and on the lavatory was a five-gallon bottle of distillata water. Oh, it was so good to be able to drink all the clean water wanted and not have to worry about the water used to brush our teeth.

We had planned to get up early so that we could take a good look at the area, but wouldn’t you know, I goofed and had set my clock for seven instead of six. We had to rush to get our breakfast and check out as our shuttle bus was to pick us up at eight. I told our waiter our predicament; and I must say, I hadn’t seen anyone move with more alacrity than he did to fill our breakfast order. Our bus came ON TIME and took us back down the mountain road to make connections with the bus that was to take us to Acapulco. How we wished we could have stayed at least a day longer.

Vacation Trip To Mexico Goes To Acapulco
(Continued from last page)
Acapulco, we passed trees Mth gorgeous red, purple, and P'nk flowers, mostly farming ■Ountryside, until we came to guala, one of the largest cities ^ mat state since there were [''any manufacturing plants ^ere. We arrived at a tossroad and took a new '0acl, a short cut to Acapulco. er many curves in the ountains, it was a pleasure to ^LVe a fairly straight road ere one could make some 'Peed in the valley. We had ar first one-way traffic ,^ause °f road repairs, but ^ too long a stretch.

for each day of the year.
As we continued on our way, we were simply amazed how the cattle are free to roam alongside the road. Traffic doesn’t seem to bother them. Bertha asked, “How do they get home?” The owners at the end of the day search for them. We spotted smoke ahead and thought it might be a forest fire, but it turned out that they were burning garbage and rubbish. Got to another construction ahead and had to slow down for four cattle who decided to cross the road. Passed a brick-making yard, and arrived at the town of Chilpancingo, a very large city. Students from all over come to attend the University here.
Soil here is rich and many green crops are to be seen. We are now beginning to see pine trees on the hillsides. Winding, hairpin turns make driving slow, and we are unable to pass trucks at times. Finally, we hit a stretch of road where we could again make time. Started our descent into the valley and again we saw large fields of crops here. High mountains are on either side of the road. Three donkeys were on the road and the truck ahead of us almost hit one. Our driver blew his horn to get it to move. The roadway has only a little land on each side, but cows on both sides of the road are oblivious to the traffic.
One-half hour after our last stop, we had lunch at a restaurant, Carta Blana, a chain cafeteria-style restaurant. On our way out, the driver reached for mangoes hanging on the tree and gave them to two Mexicans. These were a different kind of mangoe from those we had seen before. Continued our journey through a lush valley before starting our climb again. We were now about an hour away from Acapulco and getting tired.
From hereon in the area is much improved. Suddenly we heard a loud "ping;” our guide thought it was our tire; but, fortunately for us, it was the truck ahead. We came to a town that our guide told us is a very special place for Mexicans to come to; it was the only place where red papayas grow. Sorry I couldn’t get town and village names — too hard to spell and we went past signs too quickly. Passed more coconut trees, a very large open market with roofs over

well in excess of 300,000 travel inquiries. The center expanded its toll-free services in April, 1984 to provide tourist information throughout the 48 continental states and attract more people to Ohio for vacations and holidays.”
Šuster notes the 1984 summer tourism survey indicated 44 percent of 1-800-BUCKEYE callers took an additional trip because of the information they received from this service. They also found callers nearly doubled the number of trips they took in 1984 as compared to the previous year.
the individual stalls. Scenery changes as we again start over the mountain. Passed a river which had some water, but the major portion of the river bed was dry. Saw some bee hives that were not painted a multi color but had large letters, A, B, C, etc. painted on the front. More and more coconut trees. As we went through the town, a school was just letting out. A group of students was leaving the school while another was coming for the second shift. They looked so nice in their grey skirts and white blouses for girls and grey trousers and white shirts for boys. We were told that each school can choose its own colors, but all had the same uniform dress code.
FINALLY, we arrived at Acapulco after a five-hour trip which seemed longer because of the winding roads. All of us on the bus were staying in the new section of Acapulco and were dropped at our destinations as we proceeded.
Our hotel, the Holiday Inn on the Beach, is considered one of the top Holiday Inns in the world. It is situated on a scenic highway named for former President Miquel Aleman who was responsible for much of the resort development of Acapulco. The hotel is built in the round and our cone shaped room on the 17th floor gave us a view of Aleman Avenue to our left, a large expanse of the beach with a curve of the land giving us a good view of the homes on the hillside, and the lighted cross at the top of the hill at the end of the bay. Since our balcony was curved, we could also see the opening of the bay to the Pacific Ocean and part of the land projecting to our right. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay as we were right in the heart of what many call the most liveliest resort spot in the world.
We freshened up, went down to the restaurant, and the first music we heard was the Beer Barrel Polka followed by the music to the Bird Dance! Our waitress asked us if we wanted men to dance with (women do not dance together in many places). We

decided against it as we had unpacking to do and wanted to get some rest before our tour the next day. Before retiring, we pulled our drapes open, went to bed, and admired the view from our beds.
Acapulco, meaning “conquered place” according to some historians and “destroyed place” according to others, is situated on the shores of the Pacific and was a focal point of trade between China and the Phillipines and other Asian countries. Average temperature is 81 °F. Afternoon showers are common during the summertime and tropical storms are not unknown in the late summer months. With Mexico’s independence, the port city languished for a full century until a highway access was established in 1927.
From the 1985 Travelers Guide to Mexico, published by the Ministry of Tourism, a
copy of which the hotel management furnished in our room, I abstracted this information:
“Today the port is the big attraction simply because of its location. Due south of Mexico City, it is the closest spot on the Pacific Ocean from the Capital.
