Srečanje med ShuUzem in Gromikom brezuspešno — Skorajšnje obnovitve pogajanj o jedrskem oboroževanju ne bo
OSLO, Nor. — Preteklo sredo se je državni tajnik ZDA George P. Shultz sestal s sovjetskim zunanjim ministrom Andrejem A. Gromikom. Srečanje je bilo v sovjetskem veleposlaništvu v Stockholmu, trajal je celih 5 ur. Govorila sva mirno, a odločno, je dejal Shultz v intervjuju po prihodu v Oslo. Gro-miko ni kazal zanimanja za obnovitev pogajanj ZDA-ZSSR o omejevanju jedrske oborožitve. Shultz je pa dobil vtis, da bi bili Sovjeti pripravljeni na obnovitev pogajanj o omejevanju konvencionalnega orožja na evropskem prostoru. V drugem intervjuju v Stockholmu je isto dejal po srečanju z Gromikom zahodnonemški zunanji minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher.
Pred srečanjem s Shultzem je Gromiko govoril na zasedanju konference o evropski varnosti ter zelo ostro napadel politiko ZDA. Trdil je, da želijo ZDA vojaško premoč nad Sovjetsko zvezo, kaj takega pa ZSSR ne bo nikoli dovolila. V svojem intervjuju je Shultz rekel, da je Gromikova ocena povsem napačna.
Sovjetski predpogoj za obnovitev pogajanj o jedrskem oboroževanju je, da bi ZDA in NATO države prenehale s postavljanjem novih ameriških Pershing II in »cruise« misi-lov v zahodni Evropi.
Ameriški civilisti v Bejrutu sedaj tarče muslimanskih teroristov
BEJRUT, Libanon — Preteklo sredo sta dva neznanca ustrelila predsednika Ameriške univerze v tem mestu. Malcolm Kerr, 52-letni bivši dekan UCLA univerze, ki je bil rojen v Bejrutu, je bil takoj mrtev. Nekdo je poklical časopisno agencijo in povedal, da so Kerra ubili pripadniki neke muslimanske skupine. Namen teh skrajnežev je, da zapustijo Bejrut in Libanon vsi Amerikanci, tako vojaki kot civilisti.
Ameriško univerzo so ustanovili v preteklem stoletju protestantski misijonarji v deželi, zadnja desetletja je pa univerza splošno priznana izobraževalna ustanova, na kateri študirajo pripadniki različnih političnih in verskih prepričanj. Včeraj je bila univerza zaprta, v mestu tudi ni bilo slišati streljanja.
Opazovalci libanonskih razmer menijo, da bodo muslimanski in drugi skrajneži izvajali v naslednjih tednih in mesecev številne atentate na ameriške civiliste.
Nova argentinska vlada ukrepa zoper vojake in policiste, odgovorne za »umazano vojno« proti teroristom v 70-ih letih
BUENOS AIRES, Ar. — Argentinski predsednik Raul Alfonsin je odredil pripor za upokojenega generala Ramona Campsa, o katerem trdijo zagovorniki človečanskih pravic v državi, da je odgovoren za izginotje nekaj tisoč oseb tekom vojne zoper politične teroriste, ki je divjala v 70-ih letih.
Takrat je gen. Camps vodil policijo v buenosaireški provinci. V priporu je na vojaškem oporišču blizu Buenos Airesa. Predsednik Alfonsin je odredil, da bo Campsa sodilo vojaško sodišče. Dva druga visoka vojaška častnika sta že bila aretirana in obtožena sodelovanja v kampanji zoper teroriste, v kateri je izginilo brez sledu več tisoč večinoma mladih ljudi. Starši in sorodniki niti ne vedo uradno, ali so pogrešanci živi ali mrtvi, čeprav je znano, da so bili vsi pobiti, običajno po mučenju. Starši bi radi vsaj zvedeli, kje so pokopani njihovi sinovi in hčere.
Alfonsin je zmagal na volitvah lani in zaprisegel 10. decembra. Njegova je prva civilistična vlada v 8 osmih letih. Dejal je, da se mora razčistiti zadeva o pogrešancih, tisti, ki so odgovorni za zločine, pa morajo pred sodišče.
Walter F. Mondale ima zelo veliko prednost nad drugimi demokratskimi predsedniški
kandidati — Sen. John Glenn drugi
DBS MOINES, Iowa — Najnovejša javna povpraševanja kažejo, da ima demokratski predsedniški kandidat Walter F. Mondale veliko prednost nad vsemi svojimi tekmeci. Po povpraševanju Gallup Poli, je za Mondala kar 47% vseh demokratskih volivcev, drugi je sen. John Glenn, ki pa ima komaj 16%. Rev. Jesse Jackson je tretji z 11 odstotkov, vendar ogromna večina te podpore izhaja iz črnskih volivcev. Ostalih pet demokratov ni imelo skoraj nobene podpore. Kar je posebno obetajoče za Mondala, je, da je pretekli mesec vodil Glenna le z relativno večino 40:24, torej je iz meseca v mesec močnejši.
Mondale je zdaj zaskrbljen nad svojo prednostjo. Boji se, da se njegova kampanjska organizacija ne bo več tako zavzeto potegovala v njegov prid radi prepričanja, da je borba že končana. Mondale je pa v govoru v Des Moinesu poudaril, da še ni izbran niti en delegat za demokratsko konvencijo ter še ni bilo nobenih primarnih volitev.
Čeprav tega nočejo javno priznati, so v skrbeh drugi demokratski kandidati. Silno si prizadevajo, a brez kakega uspeha. Republikanci se trenutno ne bojijo Mondala, ker menijo, da bo predsednik Reagan z lahkoto premagal tekmeca, ki je tako tesno povezan z bivšo Carterjevo administracijo. Najnevarnejši demokratski kandidat za Reagana, pravijo Reaganovci, bi bil sen. Glenn.
Huda zima zopet pritisnila
CHICAGO, 111. — Zopet je hladna fronta prizadela osrednji del Združenih držav. V mnogih državah so temperature naj-nižje v zgodovini za ta letni čas. Včeraj so v Indianapolisu, Ind. zabeležili -17 F, v Gunnisonu, Colo. -42 F, v neki dolini v Utahu pa kar -65 F. V Chicagu je dosegla temperatura včeraj -13 F. Edina sreča je, da razen v nekaterih krajih, ni veliko snega. Meteorologi pravijo, da prihaja hladen zrak neposredno iz severnega pola in ga preprosto imenujejo »sibirski ekspress«. Nič ne kaže, menijo, da bo do bistvene spremembe v vremenu kmalu prišlo. Hladne fronte bodo prihajale druga za drugo, poudarjajo.
Podatki, zbrani za mesec december, kažejo, da so postavile temperature v ZDA rekord. V zadnjem stoletju, obdobje, za katero imajo podatke, nikoli ni bilo tako hladno v Združenih državah. Ako bo zadnja tretjina januarja glede mraza ista kot sta bili prvi dve, trdijo meteorologi, bo zopet postavljen rekord.
Preiskovalci ugotovili, da je general
Robert G. Ownby napravil samomor
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Dne 11. januarja so našli obešenega gen. Roberta G. Ownbyja. Prvi znaki so kazali, da gre za teroristični umor, ker je imel Ownby roke zvezane, na suknjiču pa je bila pripeta izjava, ki je trdila, da je bil general ubit radi »zločinov«, ki jih je zagrešila po svetu ameriška vojska.
V preiskavi so pa ugotovili, da si je vzel življenje gen. Ownby. Bilje namreč v hudih finančnih težavah.

Jugoslavija v 1. 1984
HI. del
V	prvih dveh delih tega uvodniškega članka so bili obravnavani gospodarski in nacionalni problemi, s katerimi se soočuje jugoslovansko politično vodstvo. Najbolj odkriti so v SFRJ o svojih gospodarskih težavah. Te težave so za povprečnega državljana najbolj pereče. Oblastniki skušajo prepričevati ljudi, da so pomanjkanja, visoka inflacija in drugi negativni pojavi le trenutnega značaja in se bodo razmere v bodoče obrnile na bolje. Sedaj je pa treba varčevati z energijo, omejevati porabo, vzdrževati že obstoječih objektov in graditi na novo le najpotrebejše. Po črnogledih analizah zadnjih let, sedaj govorijo nekateri funkcionarji, da je najhujše že mimo, da bo morda prav 1. 1984 prvi resnični korak naprej v gospodarskem oziru. Drugi vzrok za sorazmerno precejšnjo odkritost o ekonomskih težavah je dejstvo, da SFRJ še vedno potrebuje ogromno finančne pomoči iz tujine, zahodne banke pa zahtevajo dokaj točne podatke in razlage, zakaj naj bi še dalje odobravale finančno pomoč Jugoslaviji.
V	ozadju jugoslovanske sedanjosti so poleg gospodarskih tudi nacionalni problemi. Preganjanje albanskih nacionalistov na Kosovu je bilo — v kolikor je mogoče sklepati — uspešno, a brez vsakega dvoma le začasno. Razpoloženje na Hrvaškem je težje ugotoviti, ker sredstva javnega obveščanja poudarjajo »bratstvo i edinstvo«. Isto je v Srbiji. Iz raznih izjav uglednih funkcionarjev in tudi poslancev v zvezni skupščini, je pa jasno, da stvari le niso tako rožnate v tem oziru, kot jih prikazujejo razna poročila, izvirajoča v SFRJ.
Poleg notranjih ekonomskih in nacionalno-političnih problemov, morajo biti jugoslovanski voditelji v skrbeh tudi zaradi trajnih zunanjepolitičnih nevarnosti. Tu pride predvsem v poštev seveda Sovjetska zveza. Ni mogoče verjeti, da so se Sovjeti odpovedali želji, da bi prišla Jugoslavija pod njihovo popolno politično kontrolo, da bi bila SFRJ v istem položaju napram ZSSR, kot so druge vzhodnoevropske države, članice Varšavskega pakta. Poskus 1948. leta ni uspel, vendar to za Sovjete nič ne pomeni. Če se bo jim odprla prilika po tej ali drugačni poti, bodo ukrepali.
Sovjeti imajo v tej zadevi posebno prednost. Dvoma ni, da bi našli — in morda že imajo — agente v SFRJ, ki bi bili pripravljeni igrati kvizlinško vlogo in poslati ZSSR prošnjo, naj čete Varšavskega pakta zasedajo Jugoslavijo. To se je že zgodilo na primer na Madžarskem 1. 1956 in v Češkoslovaški 1. 1968. V ilegali menda že funkcionira neka »neodvisna« jugoslovanska komunistična partija. To ni vse. Na jugu jugoslo-venske države sta dva soseda, ki nista prav nič naklonjena SFRJ. Na jugovzhodu je Bolgarija, ki še vedno trdi, da spada Makedonija k Bolgariji. Najbrž ta bolgarska trditev nima dosti podpore med Makedonci v SFRJ, lahko pa nudi priliko za ZSSR. Na jugozahodu je seveda Albanija. Sedanji albanski režim ni pod sovjetskim vplivom. Albanski voditelj, kruti Enver Hodža je pa že v 76. letu in menda ni več pri najboljšem zdravju. Kaj se bo zgodilo v albanskem političnem življenju po odhodu Hodže seveda ni mogoče predvideti, lahko pa smo gotovi, da Albanija ne bo iskala prijateljstva z Jugoslavijo, prav verjetno tudi z Zahodom ne. Pričakovati je torej, da bo Albanija slej ko prej prišla pod sovjetsko kontrolo. V tem slučaju bi bila Jugoslavija v še nevarnejšem položaju.
Ker SFRJ sledi »neuvrščeni« politiki s tem, da ni povezana politično z Zahodom ali Vzhodom, so njeni voditelji, za-
»Pesmi in Melodije iz lepe Slovenije« imajo veliko poslušalcev in prijateljev
CLEVELAND, O. - Pretekla nedelja, 15. januarja 1984, je pokazala, da ima slovenska radijska oddaja »Pesmi in melodije iz lepe Slovenije« ne le veliko poslušalcev, ampak tudi mnogo dobrih prijateljev. Ti so za slavnostni banket ob 30-letnici njenega življenja v velikem številu prihiteli od blizu in daleč v Slovenski narodni dom na St. Clair Avenue, da dajo nadvse zasluženo priznanje tistim, ki so oddajo ustanovili, se trudili in se še trudijo za njen obstoj.
Oder Slovenskega narodnega doma je bil lepo okrašen s predmeti slovenske narodne umetnosti s sliko fanta v slovenski narodni noši, s slovensko skrinjo, na kateri so bili razporejeni avba, cekar in drugi narodni predmeti v objemu rdečih nageljnov. Preko okroglih miz po dvorani so bile položene slovenske narodne zastave, krasili pa so jih tudi šopki cvetja. Celoten pogled na oder in dvorano je bil poudarjeno slovenski in prijetno domač.
Po okusnem obedu, s katerim so bili gostje neobičajno naglo postreženi, se je razvil spored, ki so ga pripravila društva »Fantje na vasi«, »Korotan«, »Lilija« in »Kres«.
Pevski zbor »Fantje na vasi« je pri obeh nastopih navdušil in sprožil val ploskanja, ki kar ni hotel prenehati. Prav tako navdušeno in prisrčno so bili sprejeti in pozdravljeni plesalci in plesalke »Kresa«.
Dr. Stane Šušteršič, ki je prišel na jubilejno slavje iz Washingtona, D.C., kjer je v službi pri »Glasu Amerike«, je opisal, kako se je oddaja, za katero sta dala pobudo Rado Menart in Jože Suhadolnik, začela, rastla in napredovala. Radu Menartu in Stanetu Šušteršiču je od vsega začetka
pomagal dr. Milan Pavlovčič pri pripravah posebnih sporedov. Ko je oddaja postala vsakodnevna se ji je pridružil še Pavle Borštnik, ki je prevzel odgovornost za sestavo in izbor vsakodnevnih novic in poročil ter tedenskega nedeljskega komentarja.
Dr. Mate Resman je orisal delo oddaje po letu 1960, ko je dr. Stane Šušteršič odšel v Washington in je vodstvo oddaje prevzel dr. Milan Pavlovčič. Poudaril je, da je bila in da je ta oddaja edina čisto in samo slovenska, posvečena slovenskim stvarem, vprašanjem in skrbem. V tem je bil in je njen poseben pomen. O tem pomenu je izredno prepričljivo in prisrčno govorila (v angleščini) gdč. Mojca Slak. Njene iskrene in tople besede so pokazale, kakšen vpliv je imela in ima ta slovenska narodna ustanova v Clevelandu na že v Ameriki rojeno slovensko mladino, kako pomaga pri njej ohranjati slovensko besedo, narodno izročilo in buditi v njej ljubezen do slovenstva.
V zadnjem delu sporeda, ki ga je vodil g. Srečko Gaser, so zastopniki organizacij, katere so banket pripravile, izročili spominske plakete dr. Stanetu Šušteršiču in dr. Milanu Pavlovčiču, Radu Menartu in Pavlu Borštniku, ki nista bila navzoča, pa jih obljubile poslati. Posebej so počastili dr. Milana Pavlovčiča Belokranjski klub, Štajerski klub, orkester »Veseli Slovenci« in Slovenski folklorni institut.
Dr. Karl Bonutti je prebral proglas clevelandskega župana Georgea V. Voinovicha, v katerem ta poudarja pomen radijske oddaje »Pesmi in melodije iz lepe Slovenije« za slovensko skupnost v Clevelandu, pa tudi za vse mesto, saj je ta oddaja zgled in vzor drugim
narodnostnim skupinam v našem mestu, ter v priznanje proglaša preteklo nedeljo za »Dan dr. Milana Pavlovčiča«.
Z odra sta bila predstavljena občinstvu tudi ga. Barbara Pavlovčič, ki je dolga leta pomagala možu pri oddaji in njun sin Mitja, ki se je na oddaji oglašal vse od otroških let. Deležna sta bila navdušenega ploskanja.
Po zaključku sporeda se je začela zabava s plesom, za katerega so igrali orkestri »Veseli Slovenci«, »Alpski sekstet« in »Jasmin«. Prisrčna so bila tudi srečanja s starimi prijatelji in znanci.
Ustanoviteljem, sodelavcem in vsem, ki so na kakršenkoli način pripomogli, da smo preteklo nedeljo praznovali ta veseli jubilej, iskrene čestitke in hvala za ves trud! Posebno priznanje pa prav gotovo zasluži požrtvovalni dr. Milan Pavlovčič. Bog daj, da bi kljub težavam vztrajal, ohranjal in vodil oddajo »Pesmi in melodije iz lepe Slovenije« še mnogo, mnogo let!
Poročevalec
fFranc Štrukelj
CLEVELAND, O. - Dne 31. decembra 1983 je v Gospodu zaspal Franc Štrukelj. Smrt je dočakal v Holy Family Cancer Home v Parmi, Ohio.
Rodil seje 11. oktobra 1902 v vasi Kompalje. V mladih letih se je izučil za usnjarskega pomočnika v Viču pri Domžalah, nakar je odslužil vojaški rok pri konjenici v Subotici. Leta 1926 je odšel v orožniško službo. Najprvo je bil v Sremu, potem v Caribrodu ob bolgarski meji, od koder je odšel v žandarmerijsko podoficirsko šolo.
Po končanem šolanju je služboval v Črni gori in ga je kapitulacija 1. 1941 doletela v Cetinju. Posrečilo se mu je priti domov v Slovenijo, a se je istega meseca - avgusta 1941. - odločil in odšel preko Hrvatske v Srbijo, kjer se je prostovoljno pridružil Mihajlovičevim četnikom. Leta 1944 so se nekatere četniške enote, umaknile preko Bosne in prišle do Bosanskega Broda, kjer so Nemci enote zajeli, jih razorožili in četnike — med njimi je bil tudi naš Franc — poslali kot ujetnike v Avstrijo.
Zaveden Slovenec in dober katoličan, Franc je bil radodaren in veliko pomagal svojim bližnjim sorodnikom v Sloveniji. Dvakrat ga je prišel obiskat iz Slovenije njegov nečak Anton Štrukelj, ki je tam duhovnik.
Dalj časa je bil Franc težko bolan. Več kot pol leta je bil v bolniški oskrbi. Nekaj časa je stanoval v St. Augustine Manor na Detroit Ave. Tam se je nahajal precej časa tudi č.g-Julij Slapšak, ki je ob vsaki priliki Franceta obiskal in ga kot vesten dušni pastir tolažil.
Francetov pogreb je bil lep. Pogrebno sv. mašo je v cerkvi sv. Vida daroval č.g. Jože Simčič.
Jože Vrtačnik
čenši seveda z Josipom B. Titom, razvili obrambni sistem, ki ga imenujejo »splošni ljudski odpor«. Tu je mišljeno nekakšno partizansko vojskovanje. Vsako leto organizirajo vaje, v katerih sodelujejo civilisti. Pisec članka je bil avgusta 1968 v Sloveniji, ko so Sovjeti vkorakali v Češkoslovaško. Nekaj njegovih sorodnikov in drugih oseb, ki sem jih poznal, so že bili pripravljeni na odhod v hribe, kjer bi se bili zbrali na že vnaprej določenih mestih. Vendar tako daleč takratna kriza ni šla.
Taki obrambni načrti so lepi, dvomljivo pa je, ako so v današnjih razmerah izvedljivi. V slučaju sovjetskega vkorakanja v SFRJ bi bile razmere precej drugačne od tistih v 2. svetovni vojni. Sovjeti bi ne bili Nemci ali Italijani. Dokaza tu sta njih obnašanje na Madžarskem L 1956 ter zadnja leta v Afganistanu. Zelo težko je verjeti tudi, da bi v slučaju sovjetskega vdora v SFRJ, Zahod oz. NATO kaj učinkovitega naredil. Da bi NATO čete posegle v zadevo in tvegale splošno vojno z ZSSR radi SFRJ ali Jadrana sploh ni mogoče misliti. Tudi ni pričakovati, da bi lahko prišlo ob morebitnemu razsule Jugoslavije iz enega ali drugega vzroka do ponovne »delitve« med ZSSR in Zahodom, torej po vzorcu Churchill-Stalin. Slišal sem od posameznih Slovencev tu v Clevelandu in drugod, ki se za to zadevo zanimajo, mnenje, da bi morda Sovjeti pristali na to, da bi oni zasedli južne kraje SFRJ vse do Jadrana, severne s Slovenijo vred pa »prepustili« Zahodu. Tudi v to možnost ni pametno vložiti preveč upanja.
Jugoslavija torej ni v zavidljivem položaju. Tudi če bo premagala sedanje gospodarske težave, bodo ostale v veljavi nacionalne in zunanjepolitične. Kdaj, kje in kako bo enkrat usodno zavrelo, ni mogoče napovedati. Jugoslovanska juha je pa zaradi toliko nevarnih in nasprotujočih si snovi tako vnetljiva, da do kake eksplozije slej ko prej mora priti.

PROTESTNA IZJAVA SLS
Slovenska ljudska stranka, ki vztrajno in pozorno spremlja dogodke v Jugoslaviji, ob poizkusu izvedbe novega učnega načrta, to je ob pripravi »programskih jeder za pouk v osnovnih in srednjih šolah«, čuti kot narodno dolžnost in zgodovinsko nalogo, da ob ponovnem zatiranju slovenskega jezika in narodne samobitnosti javno izreče svoj ogorčeni protest.
Vzgojno-izobraževalni načrt, ki ga je predlagala Zveza komunistov Jugoslavije na zasedanju 12. kongresa, je izdajstvo nad slovenskim narodom in nad slovensko preteklostjo. Uveljavitev tega načrta predstavlja namerni smrtni udarec slovenskemu narodu v matični domovini ter zamejstvu in zdomstvu, ker bi s tem centralističnim ukrepom usahnile korenine narodne in kulturne pripadnosti. Asimilacijski poizkus Komunistične partije Jugoslavije je tudi žalitev in poniževanje v tolikem trpljenju preizkušenega slovenskega naroda, ki se je z lastno neuničljivo življensko silo ohranil in z lastnimi napori dvignil med najkulturnejše narode v Evropi.
Slovenski narod živi, ker je pokazal vsem, ki so ga hoteli kdajkoli streti ali kupiti, da ljubi svojo preteklost, si gradi sedanjost in trdno zaupa v bodočnost, ko mu bodo spet vladali svobodno izvoljeni predstavniki.
Slovenska ljudska stranka, ki vzdržuje v slovenskem narodu že 90 let tradicijo krščanske družbene ureditve v demokratičnem okviru, pozdravlja napore Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti, slovenske Cerkve in vseh narodnjakov, za ohranitev skupnih narodnih vrednot in pravic; istočasno pa ostro obsoja brezbrižnost odgovornih oblasti v komunistični Socialistični republiki Sloveniji.
Nobena državna ureditev, ki uničuje kulturne vrednote in dela krivico, ne more služiti skupni blaginji. Zato se pridružujemo protestom vseh tistih, ki se bore doma, v zamejstvu in zdomstvu proti jugoslovanski vladi, ker krši osnovne in neodrekljive pravice slovenskega naroda.
Skušali so nas uničiti s severa in zahoda pa jim ni uspelo; prav tako ne bo uspelo tem, ki poizkušajo isto z vzhoda.
Slovenski narod bo živel, ker hoče živeti. Živel bo v Sloveniji, v zamejstvu in v zdomstvu.

Slovenske ljudske stranke Buenos Aires, 31.12.1983
je v Clevelandu zapustila MZA za vse potrebne misijonarje $1600. Naj ji dobroto v večnosti Gospod povrne z obrestmi in z večnim mirom, ki ga svet ne more dati in ki si ga je sama v dolgi bolezni zelo želela.
V Minneapolisu je umrl Goršetov ata; V pomoč lačnim in ubogim je MZA darovala v Clevelandu družina Antona in Helene Gorshe $50. Naj rajni počiva v miru!
Folklorna skupina Kres, Cleveland, je darovala MZA $25. G. Lojze Bajc, prav tako v Clevelandu, $20.
Ga. Gertrude Logonder iz Chicaga je darovala za vse kanadskih $20; ga. Z. D. iz Lethbridge, Alberta, $20; Neimenovana dobrotnica iz Sudbury za sv. maše $200.
Družina Albin in Mary Go-spodarič iz Batawe je darovala dodatno kanadskih $240 za 4-letno vzdrževalnino domačega bogoslovca. Družina John in Cenka Košir iz Burlingtona, Ont., je darovala za vse $20.
Iz Minnesote je poslal župnik g. Karel Pečovnik $150 za vse in iz Washingtona, D.C. ga. Marija Mejač, v imenu Slovenske ženske zveze, $40 za s. Ksaverijo Pirc, uršulinko v Tajlandu.
Naj božji Misijonar vsakemu posebej povrne vse v obilni meri. Saj je vsak dar od Boga in Če smo mu zanj hvaležni, se čutimo srečni, kadar koga lahko osrečimo s tem, kar sami lahko v življenju pogrešimo.
Župnik Janko Kosmač je dobil župnijo blizu Gorice. Sestra Marija Sreš se nam je oglasila po dolgem času in sporoča iz Indije, da se je odpovedala mestu v vodstvu njihove Kongregacije v Španiji že pred d verni leti. Izgubila bi
vizo za Indijo in je želela nazaj v misijone. Sedaj je spet v Indiji v njihovem noviciatu. Upa pa, da bo kmalu šla za eno leto v Poono študirat bogoslovske vede.
Razpošiljanje pomoči MZA 1983
je ravno končano, v kolikor zadeva posamezne naše misijonarje in misijonarke po misijonskem svetu. V decembru so dobili pomoč - mimo zadnjič v MSIP 612 objavljenih, katerim sta čeke odposlali ga. Tushar in gdč. Jeretina - še tile:
V	Združenih državah Amerike: Indian Mission, Nett Lake, Minn., po ga. A. Tusharjevi, $400, in Mission of Our Lady of Fatima, Cleveland, po ge. Anici Knezovi -dano s. Henrietti - $400. Ta misijon skrbi za uboge črne v Clevelandu. Advokat Lipold je svetoval, da po želji oblasti, letno nekaj pomoči MZA gre ubogim v ZD.
O. Ralph Roberts, S.S.S., je dobil na Filipinih $500, in kanosijanka s. Anica Miklavčič v Hong Kongu, prav tako $500.
Uršulinka s. Ksaverija Pirc v Tajlandu je dobila $500, prav tako njena sosestra Frančiška Novakova v Tajlandu $500.
V	Južni Afriki so dobile: sestra M. Vincent Novak, O.S.F.S., $500; s. Elizabeth Pogorelc $400; s. Alojzija B. Šteh $400 in s. Teresa B. Šteh $400.
Jezuit o. Vladimir Kos na Japonskem je prejel $1,500.
Maryknollec Francis Rebol na Tajvanu $400 in sobrat Daniel Ohmann, v Tanzaniji $300.
Salezijanki s. Kristini Knez v Hondurasu, je MZA poslala po Knezovih $400.
Bratu Matevžu Štirnu v Argentino, po njegovi sestri ge. Mary Miklavčič, $400.
Župnik Janez Mrvar v Ecuadorju je prejel preko ge. Agnes Leskovec od MZA $400.
Župniku Andreju Prebilu v Chile je MZA poslala $500.
Na Madagaskar je šla pomoč
v čeku na s. Cecilijo Prebil v Franciji, ki nabavlja za naše misijonarje in misijonarke, kar potrebujejo in iz Francije lahko naročijo. Dobila je $5,600. za naslednje misijona-rje(-ke): $300 za njene potrebe ob poslovanju z vsemi na terenu. Gg. lazaristi Franc Buh, Janez Puhan, Roj Gajšek, Peter Opeka, Rado Sušnik, so dobili vsak po $400.
Donum Fidei svetni duhovniki, ki delujejo z njimi, gg. Janko Slabe in Klemen Štol-car, vsak po $400. Pomoč je bila poslana tudi za g. Jankota Kosmača, ki se je vrnil v domovino in je želja MZA, da njegovih $400 gre za potrebe misijona, ki je v njem deloval, predno se je vrnil v Slovenijo.
Usmiljenke na Madagaskarju so dobile: s. Marija Pavli-šič $500; sestre Marjeta Mrhar, Terezija Pavlič in Amanda Potočnik, vsaka po $400.
S. Ceciliji Rodč v Iran bo Prebilova oddala $300.
' Lazaristu Ivanu Štantu, ki deluje sam med italijanskimi sobrati v drugi škofiji na Madagaskarju, je MZA poslala $400.
V Zambiji so prejeli
oo. Jezuitje:	Lovro
Tomažin, Radko Rudež in Jože Grošelj, vsak po $500; Janez Mlakar, Janez Mujdri-ca, Stanko Rozman in brat Jože Rovtar, vsak po $400. Laična misijonarka gdč. Bariča Rous pa $200. Ona je ponovno pisala, da ima, kar potrebuje.
Br. Rovtar ni več ekonom v semenišču, kjer je že leta pio-niril.
Minorita oo. Miha Drevenšek in Ernest Benko sta v Zambiji dobila vsak po $400.
Za tega ali onega posameznika včasih kdo pošlje med letom manjši dar, ki je pri razpošiljanju pomoči v darovano vsoto posamezniku dodan ob letnem razpošiljanju.
Razni misijonarji želijo tudi, da jim denar pošljemo na kak drug naslov v Evropo, ZD, ali Kanado. MZA ima obveznost dokazati s potrdili, da je šel denar v misijonske dežele za potrebne misijonarje in njih ljudstvo. Zato smo letos ob razpošiljat vi čekov dodali vsakemu posamezniku vzorec potrdila, ki ga mora ob prejemu pomoči podpisati in MZA vrniti, da ga imamo v arhivu, če Internal Revenue želi potrdilo na ogled.
Še tako, ko je poslovanje vsa leta zelo vestno in so v vodstvu MZA in pri administraciji denarja samo zelo vestni sodelavci-prostovoljci, se tu in tam pojavi med nami kak posameznik, ki skuša zavirati rast MZA, za katero se trudijo sedaj tisoči rojakov z veliko
misijonsko ljubeznijo, vsevprek tega kontinenta in po svetu.	(Bo še)

V BLAG SPOMIN KARLU MAUSERJU OB 7. OBLETNICI SMRTI Umrl je 21. januarja 1977.
»Zdaj je vse dognano, nič več ne boli.

Zrak je ves prozoren,
Mir iz gozda vre.
Nekdo gre čez polje, nekdo v večnost gre.«
Počivaj v miru, slovenski pisatelj!
Baragovo kosilo
Kdo je bil Irenej Friderik Baraga?
CHICAGO, 111. - Januar je mesec njegove smrti (1868). Sin slovenske matere in slaven kot misijonar ameriških Indijancev! Amerikanci ga priznavajo za graditelja katoliške Cerkve v pokrajinah Velikih jezer. Na obširnem teritoriju, kjer je delovlal skoraj kot edini škof, je danes osem škofij. Med današnjimi ameriškimi Slovenci je močno gibanje, da bi Baraga dosegel čast oltarja.
V Chicagu so bila zadnja leta takoimenovana Baragova kosila zelo priljubljena in dobro obiskana. Velika želja krajevnega Baragovega odseka in Baragovih prijateljev je, da bi tudi letošnje praznovanje bilo uspešno. Podprli bomo nekako že v naprej ameriški vsakoletni Baragov dan, ki je za letos določen prav med Slovenci tukaj v Chicagu.
Baragovo kosilo bo 29. januarja 1984
Povpraševanje je bilo v zadnjem času med nami že veliko. Sedaj je določeno na zadnjo januarsko nedeljo. Cerkveno praznovanje je g. župnik določil en teden prej, ker je bližji Baragove smrti. Umrl je 19. januarja 1868 v Marquettu, Mich. Z obiskom praznovanja v cerkvi, pozneje kosila v dvorani hočemo pokazati, da nam je Baragova zadeva zelo pri srcu.
Za kosilo upoštevajmo tele podrobnosti: Vstopnice dobite v predprodaji pri teh odbornikov: Bill Trinko, Sally Kavčič, Tone Gaber ml. Cena je za odrasle: $6.50, za otroke pa $3.00; v veliki dvorani, začetek ob 12.30 po zadnji maši.
Brez splošne vaše pomoči ne bo pravega uspeha. Prireditelji prosijo: za poravnavo letne članarine, za nove člane, za domače dobro pecivo, za darila za srečolov (raffle). Potrebujemo vašega sodelovanja!
potrebnega zvedeli.
Lepo vabljeni vsi farani sv. Štefana in Slovenci iz okolice.

Tekmovanje v peki in koncert U.S.S. godbe
CLEVELAND, O. - V nedeljo, 5. februarja, bo pod pokroviteljstvom Združenih slovenskih društev (U.S.S.) šesti letni koncert 30-članske godbe na pihala. Letos bo koncert v Slovenskem delavskem domu na 15335 Waterloo Road. Godba na pihala U.S.S. je danes edina te vrste, aktivna med Slovenci v Ameriki, zato je tudi pomembna za slovenski živelj v ZDA. Obstanek godbe je odvisen od nas vseh.
U.S.S. godba šteje 30 muzikantov, ki so pod spretnim vodstvom Normana Novaka. V letu 1981 je godba gostovala v Sloveniji, podala vrsto lepih koncertov, med drugimi nastopi je pa igrala na ljubljanski turistični prireditvi »Kmečka ohcet«.
Tu v ZDA je godba na pihala nastopila na številne prireditve v Ohiu in sosednjih državah, predvsem v Pennsylvani-ji. Pred nedavnim je godba i-zdala svojo prvo ploščo in kaseto. Na plošči so živahne slovenske polke, priljubljene valčke in koračnice. Ploščo oz. kaseto prodaja Tony’s Polka Village trgovina na E. 185. cesti, na dan koncerta jo boste lahko kupili tudi v SDD.
Druga posebnost, zadnja leta združena s koncertom, je tekmovanje v peki. Letos bo mogoče tekmovati kar v 5 kategorijah in sicer sledečih: ocvrtje flancatov, peka potic, cvrtje krofov, peka štrudelj-nov in kruha. Podrobnosti o tem tekmovanju lahko dobite pri Tony’s Polka Village (481-7512) ali pri Jennie Gorjanc (449-0650). Tekmovanje in ocenjevanje bo med 10. in 12. uro dopoldne. Hkrati bo prodaja peciva, katere prebitek bo v podporo godbe na pihala.
Koncert sam se bo začel ob 3. uri popoldne v glavni dvora-
ni SDD. Po koncertu bo ples in domača zabava, igral bo Šumrada orkester. Vstopnina za odrasle je $4, za mladino pa $2. Vstopnice v predprodaji dobite pri Tony’s Polka Village, pred koncertom pa pri blagajni.
Ne pozabite na koncert U.S.S. godbe na pihala in tekmovanja v peki peciva 5. februarja v SDD na Waterloo Rd.

here we were served
refreshments. Two hours later we boarded a big Pan Am wide jumbo jet. The plane was really comfortable with beautiful interipr and outstanding friendly Pan Am World * Airways Inc. crew who served us supper immediately upon taking off. We ate and drank as much as we wanted. After supper we watched an American western movie.
Here I am thousands of miles away from the country where I was born and toward which we are flyng closer and closer. Half asleep as I was at that time many things came .to my mind. Would I really again see my native land, the city where I was born, Ljubljana, the Slovenian country sites, and the Slovenian mountains with its crystal clear rivers and the people who speak my native tongue? Would I really see my relatives? At that particular moment I became uneasy when I realized I would not be able to see both of my parents alive. I knew for a long time they are no longer among the living and I was not able to be present when my mother passed away many years ago. Also,
I was not able to be present for the funeral of my father who passed away exactly two years ago. But I will be able to visit their gravesite. However, I was then happy to realize I would see my sister and her family whom I had not seen for 15 years.
From time to time we heard the captain telling us about the weather conditions. When we were above England he said, “One hour from now we will be approaching West Germany, the International Airport at Frankfurt.” Over the European countries the Pan Am plane was flying low so we could see below the roads, houses, trains, cars and beautiful landscapes. It was a most beautiful view.
Here I am after 15 years back on European soil. The German girl employee of the Frankfurt International Airport escorted us to the transfer section at the airport where a smaller Pan Am plane was already waiting for us, which

minutes later it was announced we are taking off, destination Zagreb, Yugoslavia. This time we were not flying as high as we did previously enabling us to see the beautiful landscape of Austria. The most beautiful view was the Austrian Alps, and the small towns below with rivers and lakes. A few minutes later the captain told us we had entered airspace of Yugoslavia and we will land in 20 minutes at International Airport Pleso at Zagreb. I looked below at river Drava of Slovenia and small Slovenian towns and villages which could
be seen very clearly through the airplane window.
Slovenia looKed so Beautiful below with the sun shining upon its land, as was Croatia which we approached in a few minutes.
The plane made a big turn at low altitude so we could see the city of Zagreb with its new white, modern apartment buildings and high-rise apartments.
When we landed, the door of the plane opened and the NBN-TV crew stepped on Yugoslavian soil. For me it was one of the greatest moments of my life. I was not noticeably trembling, but tears came to my eyes when I heard all around me the language that I know so well. This happened so fast and for only a few seconds. I was powerful enough to hide my emotions and continued walking toward the waiting airport bus to the terminal. Here I was expecting long lines and long delays at customs booths, but I was
Edmund Turk is Third Slovenian Judge
Governor Richard Celeste’s recent appointment of prominent attorney Edmund Turk as Judge of Cleveland Municipal Court makes him the third Slovenian to serve on the bench in our area. Frank Lausche is a former judge, and August Pryatel currently serves on the Court of Appeals.

wrong. The procedure to enter any country is to check passenger belongings and. check its passports. But everything went fast and smooth. They politely asked us for our passports and declarations. They politely welcomed us to Yugoslavia.
Outside the airport terminal we boarded a modern bus and were on our way to Zagreb. Our destination was the main railroad station there. The president of NBN-TV and I went to the information booth to find out when the next train to Bosnia and Hercegovina and Sarajevo was leaving. They said 4:00 p.m. We had more than four hours to wait, so we decided to take some pictures of ourselves in front of the stations and bought some postcards and mailed them right there since the Post Office is located only a few hundred feet away.
Our first meal in Yugoslavia was at the railroad station restaurant. The time moved

Andre Blumauer of Florida fame has produced a couple of Alpine-German records and from Marge Ford comes the “Alaska Gold” by the Alaska Polka Chips of Anchorage which features in part, “Orange Blossom Special”, on button accordion.
The re-release of two collector series albums by Kenny Bass, “Toe Tappin Polkas” and “Snap Happy Polkas” incorporates the great Cleveland polka sound of the 50’s with accordionists Frank Mauer, Dick Sodja, Bob Timko, and Joe Luzar. The response has .been fantastic ever since veteran DJ Kenny Bass featured the records on his program over Chardon based WBKC station Sundays at 9 a.m.

They gave up their own special quarters so we could be more comfortable with all our pieces of filming equipment. We were given a large comfortable dining room with a big table and chairs.
Our work began immediately. As soon as the train pulled out, we opened the windows and our TV cameras rolled.
We arrived in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Hercegovina at 11:00 p.m. The two gentlemen who were on the train with us and identified themselves as being newspaper writers for the Sarajevo newspaper, helped us at the railroad station in Sarajevo getting to taxi cabs and accompanied us to the hotel Terme where we stayed throughout our Sarajevo project.

We Hear That:
Popular movie star Debra Winger, sure to get an Oscar nomination for her riveting work in “Terms of Endearment,” the frontrunner for this year’s Academy Awards, is the niece of Virgina Urbas Winger of University Heights, Ohio.
Virginia is of Slovenian descent and was a neighbor of Bill Perusek and his family in the 1930s. The Urbas family resided on Hale Avenue and belonged to St. Mary’s Parish.
Bill, his sister, Marie Dolinar of Euclid; and the rest of the Perusek family remain close friends of Virginia and Ray Winger.
We also hear that St. Lawrence Church was the recent recipient of a $500 donation for area needy from AMLA, the same fine organization that gave so readily to the needy from St. Mary’s and St. Vitus parishes during the holidays.
Emilee Jenko, owner of Emilee’s Beauty Salon, hosted 25 of her friends for breakfast at the E. 55th-Superior McDonald’s on Jan. 12.
The tab was picked up by radio station WBBG since Emilee won a contest the AM outlet sponsored.
Emily reports courteous treatment and lots of attention from the McDonald’s manager and that a good gab fest was had by all.
Finally, we hear that many local Slovenians, including Cleveland Mayor George Voinovich, ethnic liaison Dr. Karl Bonutti, radio personalities Tony Petkovšek and Paul Lavrisha, Cleveland Councilman Mike Polenšek, lottery official Ed Eckart, State Rep. Ron Šuster and Sun Newspapers editor John Ur-bancich were among those attending the send-off for the all-new “Polka Varieties” show Monday night at Miskulin’s Lounge on E. 200th Street.

Euclid Pensioners
The first meeting of the New Year of the Slovenian Pensioners Club of Euclid at the Slovenian Society Hall on Recher Avenue got off to a good start with the showing of two beautiful movies on Slovenia, Yugoslavia. One movie stressed the mountains and showed many facets of life there. The other was about Slovenia, showing graceful, fantastic maneuvers by skiers. These were shown through the courtesy of Yugoslav Consul, Sofija Klemen-Krek, and her husband, Stanley.
Next month at our meeting on February 1, Benny Bon-nano will speak on wills and probate. As usual, speakers address us before the business meeting. Probably many of you would like to hear this speaker, so it would be wise to come early.
On Sunday, February 19 the club will have its Annual Dinner Dance. Dinner will be -served from 5 to 7 p.m. and dancing to the music of Richie Vadnal’s Orchestra will be from 7:30 on. Tickets may be secured from members, especially Mary Kobal 531-6631, or Jo Trunk 481-5004.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of William Kennick, Anne Papesh, Mary Tomsick, and John Pozar. Rudy and Caroline Lokar and Frank and Stella Kostich volunteered to pay our respects at funerals along with Joe Parker, our funeral attendant.
We are very proud of our member Charles Terček who is also a member of the USS Band. Many of us saw him on TV when he played taps as a ceremonial wreath was tossed into the harbor on December 7th, the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Joe Matejka, our represen-
tative on the Senior Council-had many messages for about income taxes and Socia* Security. Probably a very in1' portant one to senior citizen5 is the decision that should 8 husband precede his wife in death, the Social Security P60' sion would be the larger of t*16 two pensions.
The winner of the day Frances Zgonc who, believe > or not, won the two prizes an then generously returned on for the Slovene Home for d1 Aged Benefit Fund.	,
