- PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV -
Reagan branil svojo politiko stikov z Iranom — ZDA niso plačale odkupnine — Predsednikova iniciativa zelo sporna
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sinoči je predsednik Ronald Reagan govoril po televiziji ameriški javnosti o svoji sporni pobudi za obnovitev stikov z Iranom. Reagan je bil dokaj kratek — njegov govor je trajal 12 minut in odločen. Označil je poročila v sred-stvih javnega obveščanja o podrobnostih stikov z Iranom kot netočne in napačne, predv-sem Pa je bil nezadovoljen s komentarji o teh stikih. Zaradi napačnega informiranja, je re-el predsednik, je bolj nevarno ostati tih kot Pa javno govoriti o tej njegovi diplomatski ■niciativi.
Reagan je priznal, da je pred poldrugim et°m pristal na načrt, katerega namčn je bil obnoviti stike z iranskim režimom ajatole omeinija. Določeni krogi v Iranu so to po-Uc|o sprejeli in nastala so strogo tajna pogajanja. Ameriški predpogoj za nadaljevanje stikov je bil, da bi iranski režim prenehal s Podpiranjem mednarodnega terorizma in da 1 skušal vplivati na muslimance v Libanonu, ki imajo v svojih rokah kot talce ameri-s e državljane. V zameno naj bi ZDA prista-e na dobavo Iranu manjšo količino orožja 'n r^zervnih delov, ki pa ne bi dalo Iranu akšno prednost v vojni z Irakom.
Reagan je zanikal trditve, da so ZDA fjansko zamenjale orožje za talce. Pogla-
ovl!1' Ciljstikov Je bil in ie še, da ZDA in Iran 'kujejo nove odnose. V svojem govoru je Predsednik poudarjal veliko vlogo, ki jo igra .ran na Srednjem vzhodu. Geografska lega ^rana je strateškega pomena glede želje R» da prodira proti Indijskemu oceanu, ar naj bi bil dolgoročni sovjetski cilj, je nodal Reagan.
Prve reakcije kažejo, da predsednik ni spel v svojem poskusu, da bi pomiril kriti-e- Splošno mnenje političnih analitikov in samih politikov obeh strank, tako liberalcev n°t konservativcev, je, da je Reaganova zu-atija politika enostavno v razvalinah. Dol-® ^tni vodilni konservativec sen. Barry o dwater, republikanski predsedniški kan-* at 1. 1964, je rekel na primer, da je Rea-n glede Irana storil strašno napako.

banje s silo nasprotoval poskusu državnega udara s strani vojske. O takem udaru so mnogo govorili na Filipinih, ko je bila Aqui-nova na Japonskem, a se ni nič zgodilo.
Drugi levičarji trdijo, da so nedemokratični elementi v vojski odgovorni za atentat na Olalio, Aquinova pa je obljubila, da bo njena vlada storila vse, da bi odkrila in kaznovala storilce. Tudi obrambni minister Juan Enrile, katerega politične ambicije so sicer dobro znane, je obljubil sodelovanje.
Opazovalci filipinskih političnih razmer menijo; da bi lahko atentat na Olalio odprl novo obdobje političnega nasilja, kar bi bilo nevarno za Aquinovo in za demokratizacijo političnega sistema v deželi.
Ameriški škofje z ogromno večino odobrili pastoralno pismo, v katerem zagovarjajo gospodarske interese najrevnejših slojev
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj so ameriški škofje, zbrani na letnem zasedanju Nacionalne konference katoliških škofov, z večino 225:9 odobrili pastoralno pismo o ameriškem gospodarstvu, v katerem so močno zagovarjali gospodarske interese in pravice gospodarsko zaostalih Amerikancev. Da je toliko ljudi revnih v tako bogati deželi kot je Amerika, so rekli škofje, je družbeni in moralni škandal, ki ga ne moremo ignorirati. Med drugimi nasveti, predlaga pastoralno pismo, daje nujno potrebna gospodarska politika, katere cilj je zagotoviti delovno mesto in primeren dohodek vsakemu, ki želi biti zaposlen. Vladne agencije, privatne in dobrodelne ustanove bi morale učinkoviteje sodelovati v prizadevanjih za izboljšanje ekonomskega stanja najrevnejših slojev v deželi, več podpore bi morale namenjati ameriškim farmarjem, več podpore bi morale ZDA pošiljati deželam Tretjega sveta.
Dalje, škofje so bili kritični do ogromnih izdatkov za obrambne namene. Predsedujoči na konferenci, škof James W. Malone iz Youngstowna, Ohio, je rekel na tiskovni konference, da so bili škofje tako kritični, ker ameriška vladna politika se ne zanima dovolj intenzivno in srčno za interese revnejših v družbi.
Po tajnem razpravljanju, ki je trajalo dobrih 5 ur, so škofje z zelo veliko večino izrazili svojo podporo Vatikanu v zadevi sea-ttlskega nadškofa Raymonda G. Hunthau-sna. Nadškof Hunthausen je bil discipliniran od Vatikana, ker je z nekaterimi svojimi stališči v nesoglasju s katoliško teologijo.
— Kratke vesti —
Washington, D.C. — Na krajši obisk v
ZDA bo danes prišla angleška premierka Margaret Thatcher. V pogovorih s predsednikom Reaganom in drugimi visokimi člani administracije, se bo Thatcherjeva zanimala za nadaljnje ukrepe zoper mednarodni terorizem in posredovala gledanje evropskih zaveznic ZDA do pogajanj s SZ o jedrski oborožitvi.
Boston, Mass. — Raziskovalci so našli prvo zdravilo, vsaj delno učinkovito, čeprav začasno zoper Alzheimerjevo bolezen. Zdravilo še poskušajo in ga ni mogoče dobiti v lekarnah ali od zdravnikov. O ozdravitvi žrtev te grozne bolezni pa ni mogoče govoriti.
Bern, Švi. — Zaradi eksplozije in požara v kemični tovarni, je kakih 20 ton zelo strupenih snovi prišlo v reko Ren. Ekološke posledice so ogromne in bodo trajale več let.

Vizija Slovenije v bodočnosti
Zadnjič smo na tem mestu priobčili nekaj iz gledanja pesimista na slovensko bodočnost. Da se vzdrži neko ravnotežje, objavljamo danes poglede optimista na to bodočnost. Obe razpravi sta izšli v isti publikaciji, razmnoženi za visokošolski tečaj v Buenos Airesu, Argentina. Današnji sestavek imenujem »vizijo«, ker gleda v daljno bodočnost z veliko mero optimizma in samozaupanja, vendar pisec ne šari po oblakih, temveč govori o ostvarljivih možnostih bodočega razvoja. Razpravo je napisal dr. Peter Klopčič, povojni priseljenec v Kanadi, kije pooblaščeni zastopnik SLS (slovenske krščanske demokracije) v mednarodni Krščansko-demokratski zvezi za Srednjo Evropo (CDUCE) na evropskem prostoru in aktiven sodelavec za svobodo naroda v domovini. Pričujoči ponatis vsebuje le končni, gospodarski det obsežne razprave.
Možnosti gospodarskega razvoja v Sloveniji. Poljedelstvo. Po statistiki, ki je realistična, imamo v Sloveniji samo 1 2,7 odstotka njiv in vrtov in 2,8% sadovnjakov in vinogradov, ter 23% pašnikov in travnikov. Celokupne obdelane zemlje je torej samo 1 5,5%. Tako stanje je absolut-- nezadovoljivo in nesprejemljivo in je posledica ne samo zanemarjenega kmetijstva, ampak celo preganjanja in zaviranja in to vseh 40 let, odkar so komunisti na oblasti.
Marca 1983 je Kmetijski inštitut Slovenije v Ljubljani izdal študijo »Analiza dolgoročnih možnosti razvoja kmetijstva SR Slovenije do leta 2000«. Od 229.000 hektarov močvirnate zemlje bi lahko meliorirali (izsušili in izboljšali) do I. 2000, 60.00C ha zemljišč (varianta 1) ali 100.000 ha (varianta 2). Eventuelno bi lahko vso močvirnato zemljo izsušili in jo usposobili za polja, enako kot del travnikov in pašnikov. S tem bi se trenutna površina njiv in vrtov dvignila od 1 3% na 26% (torej podvojila - Slovenija ima najmanj obdelane zemlje na prebivalca v Evropi)...
Povečanje proizvodnje na teh zemljiščih (slovenskih njivah) bi dosegli predvsem z izboljšanjem tehnologije in smotrno uporabo produkcijskih sredstev (gnojila, semena itd). Potem bo Slovenija proizvajala hrano ne samo za 2 milijona prebivalcev, ampak celo za 4 milijone. Jasno pa je, da bodo morali povečati investicije v kmetijstvo od sedanjih 6% vseh investicij letno, vsaj na 15%, kot svetujejo slovenski agronomski strokovnjaki...
Čas je tudi, da se slovenski komunisti nauče, da se s kolektivizacijo ne prido v kmetijstvu nikamor...
Obrt in mala industrija. V razvitih državah (jaz bi dodal: v gospodarsko svobodnih, op. pis.) ustvarja drobno gospodarstvo (obrt in mala industrija) 40 odstotkov narodnega dohodka in zaposluje več kot 40% ljudi. Drobno gospodarstvo dela bolj intenzivno kot velepodjetja. Ravno v tem drobnem gospodarstvu obstojajo v Sloveniji največje možnosti (za ekonomski napredek) poleg poljedelstva.
Ni samo vprašanje, da bi dovolili, da bi več kot 10% zaposlenih odpadlo na obrt, ampak da bi se ta mala podjetja pravično obdavčila, ne pa trikrat več kot državna podjetja. Tudi krediti bi jim morali biti na razpolago. Glavno pa je
Frank in Ančka Sterle med koncertom Slavka Avsenika v clevelandskem Music Hallu 14. septembra 1985, ob 25. obletnici Sterletove Slovenian Country House restavracije.
CLEVELAND, O. - Preteklo sredo dopoldne so se številni prijatelji Franka Sterleta od njega z žalostnimi srci poslovili, najprvo v veliki dvorani Slovenskega narodnega doma na St. Clair Ave., potem v nabito polni cerkvi sv. Vida, zadnjič pa pred odprtim grobom na pokopališču Vernih duš na Chardonu, Ohio.
Kot smo pretekli torek v AD poročali, je Frank Sterle umrl na posledicah srčne kapi, ki ga je zadela v soboto, 8. novembra, med 4. in 5. uro zjutraj, na svojem domu nad svojo restavracijo Frank Sterle’s Slovenian Country House na 1401 E. 55 St. Prepeljali so ga v Mt. Sinai bolnišnico, zdravniška intervencija pa ga ni mogla več rešili.
Frank se je rodil v Koritnicah na Primorskem. V otroških letih si je poškodoval nogo in radi tega ni šel k vojakom, ko je nastala druga svetovna vojna. Leta 1954 je prišel v Trst, kjer je bival dalj časa v San Sava taborišču za begunce. V Združene države je prišel 1. 1956 in je prvih 6 mesecih delal na farmi svojega sponzorja g. Pustotnika v Genevi, Ohio, nato tri leta v tovarni Z-W.
Leta 1960 je kupil majhno gostilno Bonna Cafe na vogalu Bonna Ave. in E. 55. ceste. V naslednjih 26 letih je Frank z neumornim delom in tudi tveganjem to gostilno večkrat razširil in naredil iz nje eno najbolj znanih restavracij v Velikem Clevelandu. Frank Sterle’s Slovenian Country House je postal znan ne le skoro vsem zavednim Slovencem v ZDA in Kanadi, marveč tudi v sami Sloveniji. Njegova restavracija je bila nekaka »obvezna« točka za obiskoval-
ce v Cleveland, redki je tisti rojak, ki ni bil nikoli prišel skozi vrata Frankove gostilne.
Ko je skozi leta razširjal svoje prostore in povečeval parkališče, je Frank kupil in podrl kar devet starih hiš. S svojim delom je Frank nekako postavil tudi tretji steber slovenske sentklerske naselbine, poleg župnije sv. Vida in Slovenskega narodnega doma.
Že res, da je bila Frankova restavracija privatna last, daje bil »businessman« in to še kako spreten. Poudarili pa moramo, da Frank ni nikoli pozabil na svojo slovensko kri, na slovensko skupnost. Redno in večkrat anonimno je daroval raznim slovenskim in drugim dobrodelnim in kulturnim ustanovam. Marsikateri rojak na obisku v Clevelandu iz Slovenije, zamejstva, tudi iz našega mesta, je našel v Sterle-lovi restavraciji gostoljubnost, ki je ne bi našel drugje.
Celoten seznam vseh organizacij, ki so bili deležne Frank Sterletove radodarnosti nimamo, najbrž je za vse vedel le sam Frank, naj pa nekatere
naštevamo: Slovenskima šolama pri Sv. Vidu in Mariji Vne-bovzeti, Slovenskemu domu za ostarele, Ameriški Domovini, Slovenski radio oddaji dt-Milana Pavlovčiča, tolklorm skupini Kres in Slovenskemu folklornemu inštitutu, U.S.S. godbi na pihala, Molly Voino-vich skladu, Skladu za obnovo Kipa svobode, Muscular Dy* strophy Assoc., Mary Mavec šoli za duševno zaostale otroke in še in še.
Že več let je Frank sponzoriral gostovanja v Clevelandu in
drugih mestih narodnozabavnih ansamblov iz Slovenije-Ko ga je doletela smrt, je b* sredi prizadevanj za najnovejše tako gostovanje. Višek njegovega tovrstnega delovanja je gotovo doživel septembra lani. ko je praznoval 25-letnico svoje restavracije, k slovesnosti pa se je pridružil — kot dokaz osebnega prijateljstva — sve' lovno znani ansambel Slavka Avsenika. Slovenci so zased > veliko Music Hall dvorano v središču Clevelanda 14. septembra lani za res enkraten in nepozaben koncert Avsem kov.
pomanjkanje zaupanje. Po 40 letih preganjanja vsake privatne iniciative, ljudje ne zaupajo komunistični vladi. Transport. Slovenija je eno najbolj prehodnih ozemelj v Evropi. Tranzit in transport že igra na splošno svojo vlogo, toda bi lahko pomenil še veliko več za slovensko gospodarstvo. Treba bi bilo čimprej dokončati obe avtocesti, lliriko in Sloveniko. Tudi predor pod Karavankami za boljšo povezavo z Beljakom in Bavarsko je važen. To so programi na kratko roko. Dolgoročni načrt pa je vodna pot Jadran-Dunaj ter Jadran-Zagreb. Ameriška Domovina je 22. jan. 1985 prinesla zanimiv članek o tem načrtu. ... Realizacija tega načrta bi pomenila ogromno za slovensko gospodarstvo. Ravno tako bi povzročila veliko ekoloških problemov. Načrt predvideva, da bi izkopali za kanal Jadran-Dunaj tunel od Vipave do Vrhnike. Skale, ki bi jih izkopali, bi odložili na ljubljanskem Barju. S tem bi verjetno povovico Barja nasuli do take mere, da bi se zemlja lahko uporabljala za industrijska zemljišča. Na ljubljanskem Barju bi, če se načrt realizira, izkopali veliko pristanišče. Ljubljansko Barje bi lahko postalo eno največjih nakladišč in industrijskih con v Evropi. Celo Barje od Vrhnike do Ljubljane in tja do Iga bi bila ena sama velika industrijska cona, ki bi služila prek avtocest ne samo Sloveniji in Hrvatski, ampak zlasti tudi Avstriji, Bavarski, Madžarski in Češki.

Možnosti torej veliko, problemov pa tudi.
Takšno je gledanje v bodočnost Slovenije njenega optimističnega sina dr. Petra Klopčiča. Marsikomu se bo njegova vizija zdela utopična, kolikor se namreč tiče bodočnosti transporta in tranzita. Toda pomisliti velja, da šo to res dolgoročna načrtovanja, in kot takšna imajo svojo ceno. Dokler ima narod pred seboj velike cilje, ki jih skuša pošto: poma dosegati, je živ in aktiven, brez njih pa životari in nazaduje ne samo gospodarsko, temveč tudi v nacionalnem in kulturnem oziru.
Je pa današnji sestavek pravo nasprotje onega, ki smo ga objavili v prejšnji izdaji AD. Naj še slišita obe plati zvona!

z Madagaskarja 22. septembra piše pismo zahvale piscu teh člankov in našim misijonskim sodelavcem v MZA: »Niti dvomil nisem, ali sem vam odgovoril na vaše pismo. Danes pa mi je kar kri zaledenela po žilah, ko sem ga odkril med neodgovorjeno pošto. Pravkar sem prišel z motorjem iz 18 km oddaljene postojanke, iz podružnice, kjer sem poučeval verouk. Povečerjal sem in se spravil za pisalni stroj, da vam odgovorim.
Bog povrni vsakemu posebej za velikodušnost, najprej vam, potem pa vsem ostalim: gdč. Sonji Ferjan, Marku Ovnu, družini Slavo Oven, Louise Rogina ter Angeli Gospodarič. V pismu je bil namreč tudi ček z darovi. Denar nam prenesejo banke, vaše žrtve pa brez čekov prenesejo božji poslanci.

Sedaj imamo kar naprej lepo vreme. Za gradnjo čudovito. Kmetje mu bodo pa kmalu pravili grdo vreme, kljub vsakodnevnemu soncu, oziroma prav zaradi njega, saj je suša že precej huda. Tukaj v Ma-tangu so ljudje toliko na boljšem, ker ni sedaj glavna sezona sajenja riža, pač pa januar in februar.

še posebej pa za molitveno pomoč!
Dolgo nikakor ni šlo, da bi prijel za pero. Upanje je, da bo bodočnost ugodnejša.
28. avgusta sem srečno prestal operacijo druge večje kile (hernia). Bog bodi zahvaljen! Uspeh je bil dvomljiv radi srčnega in splošnega mojega stanja z zdravjem. Srce, angina se da še zelo čutili, posebej v jutru in zvečer; tudi želodec že dolgo ne sprejme skoraj ničesar in v bolnici, kjer so zelo lepo skrbeli zame, ni bilo nič boljše glede tega. Dali so mi stalno pomoč za nekaj dni zaradi srčnega napada. Sedaj po operaciji je stanje dosti boljše, vsaj glede kile.
Vsekakor sem še vedno pri mojem delu. Tudi slumskemu delu v okolici sem še vedno v pomoč. V enem mesecu smo imeli kar dve veliki poplavi. Večina ulic in pritličnih stanovanj so bile pod vodo. Ulični promet je bil samo s čolni, oziroma z vsem, kar vzdrži na vodi. Škoda je velika, mnogi so izgubili vse, nekateri celo življenje, ker so utonili. Samo včeraj jih je bilo 20.
Zasilna pomoč prihaja uradno in privatno, pa to še zdaleč ne krije najnujnejšega. Mnogi pridejo do mene za kakršnokoli pomoč. Storim, kar pač najbolje mogoče. Dobivam včasih iz domovine pakete in škatlje. Večkrat od prijateljev kaj iz Milana. Posebej pa je v pomoč vsaka finančna podpora požrtovalnih dobrotnikov, članov Misijonske znamkarske akcije!

»Kralj polke«
V prilogi »Dolenjskega lista« z dne 25. septembra 1986je izšel članek o znanem polka glasbeniku Franku Yankovicu, v katerem novinarka Zdenka Lindič-Dragašpoda nekaj zanimivih podatkov. Nekatere Yankoviceve trditve o svoji vlogi se zdijo pretirane, posebej tista, ko pravi, da se je zanimanje za diatonično harmoniko med ameriškimi Slovenci začelo šele potem, ko je on izdal ploščo pred 15 leti in igral na tako harmoniko. Zanimanje se je začelo predvsem po gostovanju Slakovega ansambla. Članek je pa vsekakor zanimiv in ga posredujem bralcem v celoti. Ur.
Že več kot pol stoletja je harmonika najzvestejša sopotnica Franka Yankovica, kar pa ni pravzaprav nič neobičajnega, saj gre vendar za ameriškega »kralja polke«. Harmonika ga spremlja vsepovsod. Tudi na letošnjih počitnicah v stari domovini svojih staršev jo je imel s seboj, čeprav nastopov ni imel v načrtu. A kot vedno mu je le prišla prav, saj ljudje, kamor pride, pričakujejo, da bo vsaj malo raztegnil svoj meh in zapel, in on jim zmeraj z veseljem ustreže.
Počitnice je avgusta preživljal v Šmarjeških Toplicah. Do tega ga je pripravil prijatelj iz Denverja, je zaupal v krajšem pogovoru za Dolenjski list; Frank Yankovic se ni pustil dosti pregovarjati, saj gre vedno rad v domovino staršev. Doslej je bil v Sloveniji že šestkrat, pred leti pa je v Ljubljani posnel ploščo. Le mimogrede povejmo, da mu je bilo v Šmarjeških Toplicah in na vseh izletih, ki so jih pripravili za svoje goste, zelo všeč, s počitnic pa je šel tako rekoč takoj igrat na festival polke v Rock Springsu v ameriški zvezni državi Wyoming, na katerem je med svojo tritedensko turnejo po ZDA igral tudi ansambel Jožeta Gotliba.
71-letni Frank Yankovic, ki se je sicer rodil v Ameriki, njegove korenine pa po materi segajo v Cerknico in po očetu v Kal pri Pivki, je že desetletja med najbolj priljubljenimi glasbeniki v Združenih državah in gotovo že ena od legend ameriške glasbe, posebno polke. Ogromno je storil tudi za ohranjanje in uveljavljanje slovenskega glasbenega izročila v ZDA. Eden od kritikov v ZDA je zapisal, da je v Ameriki veliko glasbenikov, ki igrajo polko, a od ene obale do druge je znan le Frank Yankovic. Drugi so veseli, če prodajo svoje plošče v pet tisoč primerkih, Yankovic pa je dve (od okrog 150, kolikor jih je posnel od leta 1937, odkar snema) prodal kar v milijon primerkih.
Za Yankovica nekateri pravijo, da je le povprečen harmonikar. Sam »kralj polke« jim da celo prav, vendar je jasno, da se kar tako ni povzpel na »prestol« in na njem ostal tri desetletja in pol. Prvič je Yankovic postal »kralj polke« v ZDA leta 1951, pa potem tudi 1952 in 1953, nato pa takšnih koncertov ni bilo več.
Upravičenost naziva ameriški »kralj polke«, ki mu je ostal, Frank Yankovic vedno znova dokazuje s svojo glasbo, pa s svojim celotnim nastopom, s showom. Za Yankovica pravijo, da zna neprekoslji-
vo zabavati publiko, kar je redkost, medtem ko odličen harmonikar niti ni taka redkost. Yankovic nastopa, igra za ljudi, ne pa zato, da bi im-presioniral druge glasbenike, čeprav drži, da mu tudi to uspeva. Je tudi odličen pevec, z izrednim ljudskim stilom, kar vžge ne le pri ameriški publiki, ampak povsod, kjer Yankovic nastopa.
»Pesmi delam tako«, razlaga Yankovic v dokaj lepi slovenščini (ki jo razloži s tem, da so doma vedno govorili slovensko, medtem ko noben njegovih otrok, kot večina slovenskih izseljencev tretje generacije in več, ne zna sloven-
sko), »da jih poslušajo vsi, ne le naši ljudje, ameriški Slovenci. Igramo vse amerikanske pesmi, glavna pa je seveda polka.« Ta v Ameriki seveda zveni nekoliko drugače, kot smo je navajeni mi od naših narodnozabavnih ansamblov, a polka je le. Yankovic sam piše tudi glasbo in besedila za pesmi. Besedila so tako v angleščini kot v slovenščini, a prva prevladujejo.
Zelo mlad začel s harmoniko
Prvi harmonikarski poskusi Franka Yankovica sodijo v njegovo deveto leto. Pripoveduje, da je imel eden od delavcev, za katere je njegova mama kuhala in skrbela — oče je bil kovač — v »kampu« v Euclidu pri Clevelandu, kjer Yankovic živi tudi danes, harmoniko, na katero je zvečer po delu zaigral svojim tovarišem. Podnevi je harmoniko večkrat »izmaknil« mali Frank in se sam učil igrati.
Ko je dobil svojo harmoniko, je še mislil, da bo igral le zase, v svoje veselje. »Potem pa je tako naneslo, da sem kar nadaljeval z igranjem,« se je
nasmejal. Šest let je igral na »našo«, slovensko harmoniko, potem pa na ameriško »pianokord« harmoniko. »Pred 15 leti sem posnel prvo ploščo z našo domačo harmoniko,« pove Yankovic, »in sedaj nanjo vsi igrajo, medtem ko preje nihče ni vedel zanjo.«
Glasba je Yankovicu vedno bila delo, kruh in največje veselje, ki ga prenaša tudi na druge. Ko je bil kot ameriški vojak v drugi svetovni vojni v Evropi, je bilo tako mrzlo, da so mnogim zmrznili prsti na rokah in nogah. Tudi z Yan-kovicem je bilo precej hudo, tako da so mu že hoteli odrezati prste. Preprosil jih je, da tega niso storili. Prsti so se res popravili, da je lahko po vojni igral naprej.
Frank Yankovic s svojim ansamblom, veliko pa tudi sam, saj so vsi ostali člani zaposleni, ogromno nastopa. Pravi, da gre vsak teden kam igrat. Le kdo bi prešel vse nastope, ki jih je imel v 55 letih, kolikor časa hodi igrat po svetu! Nastopal je predvsem po vsej Ameriki in Kanadi, okto-
bra pa se odpravlja na enomesečno turnejo po Avstraliji pa Japonski in Kitajski. Gostoval je v vseh večjih ameriških TV programih, tudi v znanem TV showu Johnnyja Carsona, pa vsako nedeljo v slovenskem programu clevelandskega radia. (Mišljen je najbrž program na clevelandski televiziji, na katerem je redno nastopal Yankovic s svojim ansamblom, op. ur.)
Za zadnjo ploščo, »70 let hitov Franka Yankovica«, ki jo je izdal pri »svoji« diskografski hiši Polygram Records — predno je prišel v to hišo, je snemal plošče pri nič manj znani Columbia Records — je februarja letos v Los Angelesu dobil znamenito glasbeno nagrado emmy za najboljšo polka ploščo leta, kar je veliko, a kar samoumevno priznanje njegovemu dolgoletnemu glasbenemu udejstvovanju. Seveda pa ta plošča ne bo dolgo njegova zadnja, saj sta praktično pred izidom dve novi, 1 Wish I Was 18 Again (Želim, da bi imel ponovno 18 (dalje na str. 5)

dan. Težave blažijo tudi prsni ali lipov čaj, med in vdihovanje vročega kamiličnega čaja, v katerega smo kanili nekaj kapljic smrekovega olja. Po inhalaciji seveda ne smemo ven.
Če prehlad brez vročine tudi po nekaj dneh še kar traja, pojejte še 2 do 3 aspirine na dan. Če telesna temperatura ni povišana, ob prehladu ni treba k zdravniku, če pa imate vročino in se nasploh slabo počutite, obisk pri zdravniku ne bo odveč. Zoper vročino sicer vzamemo aspirin. Zopet prehlad in nahod dobro deluje tudi naslednja čajna mešanica: Zmešamo enake količine rožmarinovih listov, materine dušice, žajblja in majarona; tri velike žlice te mešanice prelijemo z litrom vrele vode in pustimo nekaj časa pokrito, nato pa vdihujemo soparo skozi nos in usta.
Še posebno je potrebno lajšati prehladne težave pri otroku. Tudi otrok naj pije tople napitke z medom in vitaminom C, po možnosti v naravni obliki, sicer v tabletkah. Prsi in nos mu lahko namažemo z mazilom, ki vsebuje kafro, ker to lajša dihanje. Potrebno je vlažiti zrak v sobi, kjer spi, da se mu sluznica ne izsuši, lahko mu pomagamo z inhalacijami. Važno je, da so otrokov vrat in prsi stalno topli, da se prehlad ne bo razvil v bronhitis ali celo pljučnico. Nahodnega
otroka tudi ne smemo preveč obleči, saj bi se spotil in na hladnem zraku potem še bolj prehladil. Če se pri otroku ob nahodu pojavi vročina, ne gre posebno odlašati z obiskom zdravnika. Kot rečeno, se pri malčku namreč kaj hitro lahko razvije vnetje srednjega ušesa, bronhitis ali kakšne druge komplikacije, ki jih je treba že aktivno zdraviti.
In gripa? To je zelo muhasta bolezen, ki nas vsako leto napada z novimi virusi. To nadlogo zdravimo tako, da lajšamo bolezenske znake. Vzamemo aspirin zoper • glavobol, boleče sklepe in proti vročini. Koristi tudi uživanje vitamina C, po možnosti v naravni obliki, pa toplih napitkov ter sirupa zoper kašelj, če boli, ko pokašljujemo.
Ljudem s kroničnimi boleznimi srca, ožilja, pljuč itd. priporočajo cepljenje proti gripi. Gripo je najbolje kolikor se da odležati, da ne oku-žujemo drugih in si ne podaljšujemo težav. Brez zapletov traja bolezen povprečno tri do pet dni. Dobro antiseptično sredstvo zoper gripo je čaj iz materine dušice. V času, ko razsaja gripa, ga je dobro piti preventivno večkrat na dan. Čaj sladkajte s cvetličnim medom. Tudi kakšen strok česna vsak dan, v solati ali kar sam, bo samo koristil.

•Recent Death,
FRANK STERLE
Frank Sterle, 62, died suddenly on Saturday morning, Nov. 8.
He was owner-operator of the Frank Sterle Slovenian Country House Restaurant on E. 55th and Bonna Ave.
He arrived in the United States from Slovenia in 1956 and obtained his first job picking apples on a farm. From there he went to work in a factory and in 1960 was able to purchase a little corner cafe located at 1401 East 55th St.
After years of hard work, he expanded his establishment and saw his dream come true with the little cafe being remodeled into a Slovenian chalet. As a grand opening celebration of an expansion of the restaurant, noted for its fine home-cooking, he sponsored his first Slovenian ensemble as a special attraction. From that time on each year Sterle had an original musical ensemble from Slovenia or Canada entertain for New Year’s eve.
One of his greatest joys was
obtaining the world-renowed Slavko Avsenik Ensemble to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of his restaurant.
Mr. Sterle was generous to various worthy cultural groups and ethnic organizations. He contributed to Muscular Dystrophy Assoc., Austrian Slovenian School, St. Vitus School, St. Mary’s School, Mary Mavec School for Retarded Children, WCPN Public Radio, United Slovenian Society Band, Milan Pavlovčič Slovenian Radio Program, Molly Voinovich Fund, American Home Newspaper (Ameriška Domovina), Slovenian Folklore Institute, and Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund.
He was a member of the Primorski Club, United Slovenian Society, Slovenian National Benefit Society, KSKJ Lodge No. 169, Liquor Association of Cleveland.
Mr. Sterle is survived by his wife, Ann (nee Ferk), stepson Verner, mother Alojzija of Yugoslavia, brothers Hubert and Stanley, both of Australia
Great American Smokeout
Adopters can offer ‘survival snacks and encourage-
Smokers who want to give up cigarettes might find it easier by joining up with a 10-year-old who’s helped millions of people prove to themselves that quitting is possible: the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout.
On Thursday, November 20, the 10th annual Smokeout will be celebrated throughout the nation — with activities ranging from parades, rallies and balloon releases to elaborate festivities high lighting Americans who have quit smoking for good since the Smokeout’s inception. All activities aim to keep smokers’ minds off cigarettes for at least 24 hours, and stress the benefits of quitting.
Carol Conley Honorary Smokeout Chairman in Cuyahoga County, OH, said, “Although the Great American Smokeout is known as a ‘fun’ event, it has a very serious purpose. Each year, 350,000 Americans die of diseases linked to cigarette smoking, and 83 percent of all cancers are related to smoking. We have to convince smokers that quitting is the best thing they can do for themselves and their loved ones.”
If there’s someone you’d like to see kick the cigarette habit for the Great American Smokeout, there’s no better way to get your message across than with a special Smokeout postcard from the American Cancer Society.
“The illustrated card simply tells the smoker that you wish they’d take a day off from smoking on November 20th. According to Conley the postcard can serve as a reminder to the smoker, or it can be sent by someone who intends to “adopt” the smoker that day.
Speaking of adoption, a popular Smokeout program is “Adopt-a-Smoker,” which allows nonsmokers to take part in the day’s activities. “A nonsmoker can ‘adopt’ someone they’d like to have quit for the day,” Conley said.
kits,’ ------ -
ment throughout the day. The support really helps.”
The Smokeout began in 1974 in Monticello, Minnesota as “D-Day.” Newspaper publisher Lynn R. Smith started a grassroots movement in his town to get all its smokers to quit for a day. The idea was adopted in 1976 by the American Cancer Society’s California Division, which renamed the vent the Great Smokeout. A year later, it became a national program.
“You don’t have to smoke tobacco to reap the attention and benefits of this year’s Great American Smokeout,” says Conley. “In fact, the 10th anniversary of this nationwide event could be a* very special day for dippers and chewers.” Recently, the dangers of smokeless tobacco use have become so well-publicized that Kansas City Royals slugger George Brett, a long-time chewer, announced that he gave up the habit. And, as a result of a new law, television and radio ads for smokeless tobacco have been banned. The same law requires that warning labels be printed on all packaging starting next year.
Despite these measures, however, it has been estimated that as many as 22 million Americans use smokeless tobacco, and a recent study claims that 12 percent of college students nationwide dip or chew.

Frank Sterle, the Ultimate Slovenian
worry when you eat at Sterle’s.
As much as he loved his restaurant he was just as proud of his heritage. Last year he came into the American Home and announced he was bringing Avsenik here. “Everyone said it can’t be done,” he told us, “but 1 did it! They’re coming for sure, and it may be their last tour of America before retirement.”
Sterle was so excited to show us the merits of Avsenik’s music, he had Madeline and myself sitting on his immediate right at the Cleveland Music Hall. That evening, his restaurant was packed, inside and outside, with friends helping him celebrate the happy occasion.
Frank took special pride in his wife, Ančka, whom he treasured above all. She helped him run the business and took care of things when he was on one of his trips to Europe. His ventures in the “old country” was to see his special love, his mother, who is still living. One year Sterle brought his mom here to America, then threw a big party so everyone could meet his mother.
He was a tough businessman, but inside was a soft, tenderhearted guy as far as his ladies were concerned.
A shorter person in height who walked with a limp the agile Mr. Sterle could be seen at almost every Slovenian event in Greater Cleveland. Nothing stopped him from seeing the cultural activities which reminded him of his homeland.
And when dignitaries from Slovenia stopped in Cleveland for a visit, they knew they could always count on the Country House for a good domač home-cooked meal dished up by a friendly innkeeper who was not ashamed to go out of his way for a fellow countryman.
Frank Sterle was a patron of the Slovenian arts, a trustworthy, caring host who liked everybody.
He had a dream for the coming summer. He wanted to bring Slovenian dancers or singers who had not been home since the war, back to Slovenia to perform their culture. Alas, his dream will not come true for now because he is no longer with us, having died unexpectedly in his sleep last Saturday morning.
His body lie in state at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair. There were 98 floral pieces covering the front of the hall from one wall to the other. A hundred and fifteen cars were in the funeral cor-tage with arrangements by the Roy Sankovič Funeral Home.
At the National Home, prior to the Mass at St. Vitus church
offered by pastor Rev. Joseph Boznar, Rev. John Kumse, Rev. Joseph Simcic, and Rev. Victor Tome, beautiful eulogies were offered by various representatives of clubs and cultural groups and the Yugoslav Consulate. Particularly touching was the speech given by radio personality Tony Petkovšek, who broke down in tears at the loss of one of his closest friends.
Frank, your body is not among the living, but your good deeds will remain a part of the Slovenian community forever. What more could be asked of a human than to bring a bit of happiness to those whom your life has touched?
When someone of a different nationality asks us, “What’s a

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, NOVEMBER 14, 1986
8 Pensioners See World s Biggest Cuckoo	51 attend South Florida Meeting
October 13, the date for our Amish Tour was drawing near, and I am sure that many of those scheduled for the tour, h-’d their ears atuned to the daily weather reports, hoping to hear, “Clear skies, warm and plenty of sunshine for Monday, October 13th.” Came the morning of that day, and we were greeted by this message, “Another day of cloudy, cool weather with possible showers.”
One would say, it was enough to dampen the spirit. Nevertheless, the outlook and attitude of all, as we gathered to board the bus, was cheery and optimistic.
As we rolled along on the highway, we did run into a few showers and ominous threatening skies, but the attitude of the optimism prevailed. Tony Kaus, our faithful musician, “unboxed” his but-tonbox, and soon the music and singing took over and the weather became the least of our concerns. Before long, we arrived at our breakfast stop and the lines quickly formed at the food counter and elsewhere. What did 1 say? That’s right. Elsewhere. Isn’t that right, ladies?
As expected when touring the Holmes County Amish Land, one stops at the cheese places, country stores, and in the fall season, at an apple farm. This tour throughout the day, included these normal stops.
We looked, tasted, enjoyed, and bought of the wares. Of course, the highlight or apex of any Amish tour has to be the one “grand meal” of the day. To Marge Kaus fell the task of selecting the place. How to satisfy everyone? A real challenge. You see, many of our group had visited various Amish eateries on previous tours, and they might even be considered “connoisseurs” in this category. Of course, the final proof, without question, would be in the eating.
In her wisdom but questioning mind, Marge decided that she could not go wrong in selecting the Alpine-Alpha, also known as the Switzerland Wonderland.
First, the background decor of this delightful restaurant, is a breathtaking portrayal of the Majestic Alps of Switzerland; featuring a sparkling glacial stream, miniature lighted chalets, a tiny red whistling mountain train, and overhead, stars twinkling in the sky. The dining area setting and atmosphere was that of a lovely Swiss garden.
The food... ah, Delicious... prepared to perfection, in the finest Swiss Amish tradition. The serving, “family style.”
For seconds, again a second offering of loaded platters assuring us that no one would leave hungry.
Having leisurely feasted and satisfied our appetites, we were now ready to pronounce judgement. Without question or exception, a rating of AAA plus (or blue ribbon) was awarded for both the food and atmosphre. Excellent!
Additional features of the Alpine-Alpha restaurant (which is located in Wilmot, Ohio in Holmes County) is its cuckoo clock terrace, where one can see the world’s largest cuckoo clock, which performs on the hour and on the half hour. And then there is their Black Forest gift shop, “The Cuckoo Clock Capital of America,” which has some 300 cuckoo clocks, all sizes and shapes, on display and for sale.
Much credit for the success of our tour must go to our driver and tour guide, John. Throughout the events of the day, we traversed much of the Amish countryside; saw their neatly kept farms and homes, their schoolhouses (not government supported), their horse and buggy mode of transportation, and learned much of their way of life and customs. Our driver, without question, was well versed in the Amish history. His running dialogue of Amish lore was interesting and informative, and appreciated by all. A guide of this caliber can add much to the quality of a tour. Our many thanks to you, John.
On our return trip back to Cleveland, we ran into a few minor showers, but at this point, who cares. Throughout the day, it was cloudy but comfortably warm... and no rain to spoil the day. A real enjoyable tour. *
At our November meeting we will hold our annual election of officers for the coming year. The date of this meeting is Thursday, November 20th, at 1:30 p.m. in the Annex Hall of the St. Clair National Home. All members are urged to attend this important meeting.
Among our reported sick, we have the following: Agnes Kosec, broken hip and dislocated shoulder. She was hospitalized and is now undergoing therapy at the Wickliffe Country Place. Jane Lube, seriously ill. Hospitalized for over seven weeks, and soon to be transferred to a nursing home for therapy. Frances Tavzelj had major surgery and is now at home. Josephine Stwan had surgery and is now residing with her daughter. Ursula Unetič has
returned home from the hospital and is under continued doctor’s care. John Trinko spent a few days in the hospital for a checkup and is home at the present time.
Let’s remember our seriously ailing members with an occasional card of cheer. 1 am sure it will be appreciated.
On October 28 we received the sad news of the death of our member John Sušnik. May he rest in peace. Our sincere sympathy to his wife and family members on their loss. John was an energetic organizational leader in our area for many years, and has left his mark in this field. In his earlier years, John was also an outstanding gymnastic athlete. 1 first met him in the early thirties, as a member of the Orel gymnastic club at St. Vitus.
Last month, on Sunday, October 19th, on the occasion of Andrew Kavchnik’s 90th birthday, a small gathering of family, relatives, and intimate friends, surprised Andy with a party in his honor. Because of Andy’s past years of active involvement in the Club, the members contributed the sum of $50.00 to the St. Clair National Home Fund, in Andy’s honor.
Also, last month 1 failed to mention that another member, Karl Estanek, observed his 90th birthday on October 28th. Our special wishes for health to you, Karl.
During the past summer, a number of our members had the occasion to visit friends and relatives in Slovenia. They are all safely back now, and we will see them at our meetings.
Welcome back:	Anton
Žakelj, Angela Bolha, Lojska Fegus, Frank Kuret, Jennie Kuret, and Frances Innocenti. Anton Žakelj has promised to show us slides of his trip, at one of our future meetings, probably in January. Lojska Fegus tells me that she has interesting pictures also.
Remember our meeting date, Thursday, October 20. Also... don’t fail to make your reservation for our Christmas Dinner in December. Tickets will be available at the November meeting.
See you all there.
Stanley J. Frank
Secretary
The American Slovene Club of South Florida held its meeting on Oct. 5 in Sunrise Center, Florida.
Birds of all types are returning, cardinals, orioles, doves, blue birds — and the snow birds.
We had a delightful meeting with every one of the 51 members in good spirits.
We welcomed four new members from West Palm Beach, Mr. and Mrs. Evencevich and Mr. and Mrs. Pepovich. We are delighted to have them. They brought along four of the best behaved youngsters you could want to meet, three boys and one girl. Hope they one day become members.
Wedding anniversaries were celebrated by Mary and Cyril Grilc, Nancy and Ed Blatnik, Ann and Henry Madey, Theresa and Bill Zupanc. Plenty of 50s to celebrate in the next few years. They were greeted in song.
Birthdays must be recognized. We should be thankful for them, otherwise we would be down under, and I don’t mean Australia, either. Sophie Phillips, Mary Grubelic, Alice Koprivec and Ivan Willis. All are holding well at “39”. Songs were sung for them.
Sick list is active. Toni Bilyk was severly ill, slowly recovering. Ed Strumbly is in the hospital, Theresa Zupanc was gravely ill, Frances Drenik suffered another stroke. Mary Nagode is status quo. A speedy recovery is wished for all; our prayers are with you all.
When the Yugoslav Club decides to have a lamb roast, a large number of our Slovenes attend, up to 30 persons. They do prepare excellent lamb.
At the last session Mayme and Ed Leban from Samsula attended. Of course, their accordion came along. We had a great jam session. They are two agreeable musicians. Ed was feeling low that day, but you never would suspect it. He still has a smile.
The Hocevars from Margate were there. Wish Ella Samanich from Cleveland had been here.
We are hereby reminding the West Park gang (West Side of Cleveland) to come to our event in April. That close knit group consists of Bea Zak,
Rose and John Žnidaršič, Stella Dancul, Helen Konkoy and others. If they come by bus it is a great way to see the country and attend our event at the same time. We expect a good many from Cleveland and Euclid, and parts east. Good reports are coming in.
We had a nice dinner following the meeting with a large birthday cake for Ivan Willi5 after dinner. It was shared by all. At 85 he deserves a large cake.
When visiting down here, do pay us a visit. You will be welcome. Next meeting is on Nov. 9. In December it will be on the 14th at Sunrise Center, Ft. Lauderdale. For further information call me at 758-9032 in Miami. In Ft. Lauderdale call 463-1025 or 564f-8756.

House acts to stop ‘frivolous law suits’

The Ohio House of Representatives passed legislation earlier this month which should make insurance more available and rates more affordable for governments and local businesses. “We have successfully passed legislation which should help,” said Representative Ronald Šuster, D-Euclid. “By instituting sanctions against frivolous suits and better regulating the insurance industry, we should see more policies Written at more reasonable rates.”
The past several years for many business and local
government entities have been plagued by the commonly-termed “insurance crisis.” Policy cncellations became routine. And those who managed to retain policies found themselves faced with exorbitant premiums. The insurance industry attributed its actions to a law-suit happy society.
“I have been contacted by countless businesspeople and elected officials,” said Representative Šuster. “Many were forced to operate without insurance because there wasn’t enough money available to
pay premiums which ha creased several hundred ^ cent. Others couldn’t e ^ find a company to wrl policy for them.”

Historic Slovenian halls before the National Homes
9
by Vince Gostilna
Around the turn of the cen-,ury. our early Slovenian Pioneers lived a very rugged and taxing existence. They toiled '10 hours per day, six days a week and were paid Very menial wages. The work Jas mostly of the back-feaking variety and at the day’s end, they trudged omeward, fatigued and ex-
nausted.
^et, somehow, they never-the-less enjoyed an active s°cial and cultural life, Specially on the week’s end. Concerts, stage presentations, tPeetings, dances and wed-tags afforded them a temporary escape from the fudgery of their week’s toil. Where these social events to°k place is historically k'gnificant and also might e interesting to the readers.
, ht the St. Clair neigh-Jtfhood, a total of eight halls ere in use by our early set-ners! Most of the halls were 1 very large, accom-°dating at the most, a few ll ered persons, and nearly Were on upper floors.
In retrospect, it must be considered exceedingly fortunate that a major fire never occurred for surely many casualties would have resulted.
The eight halls in use around the year 1900 and later were: ST. VITUS HALL 1110 Norwood Rd.
It was located on the third floor of the old St. Vitus School. Here was enacted the first Slovenian dramatic presentation by the first theatrical group in America, “Slovenian Catholic Cultural Society.” Also served as the clubroom for KSKJ branches and Catholic Order of Foresters.
The wooden building was demolished in the mid-forties, and was replaced with a modern auditorium-gym complex in 1957.
KNAUS HALL 6131 St. Clair
Mr. Jernej Knaus built the first private Slovenian hall in 1904. This facility served as the early cultural center until the Slovenian National Home was constructed in 1924. Many fraternal groups, dramatic

clubs, etc. availed themselves of this popular site. Located on the third floor, in later years it was the home of the American Legion Post 273. The building is still in existence, however, not being used for Slovenian activities.
STOCKES HALL 6021 St. Clair
Became GRDINA’S HALL in 1911 when John Grdina Sr. assumed management of the establishment. It was located on the second floor and was the scene of many dances, plays, and lodge meetings. Accommodated about 400 which made it the largest of any in our area prior to SNH.
The East Ohio gas fire on October 20, 1944 destroyed the third and second floor and the hall was replaced with a modern bowling establishment
of 12 lanes. Today the building is the home of Sheliga Drug Store.
UNION HALL 5902 St. Clair
Later it was called KIKELJ’s HALL. It was the early home of the “Sava” Dramatic Society. In 1907 young magician John Grdina appeared in the People’s Theater and displayed great conjuring abilities. There were other live acts, including jugglers, singers, etc. on the program.
This hall was the first public auditorium in the E.-65th area around 1870 and was razed in the late 1960s to make way for the new modern Cleveland Trust Bank (now AmeriTrust).
JAITES HALL 6004 St. Clair Later known as BIRK’S
HALL, here began the Ivan Cankar Dramatic Society and many early performances of Slovenian drama were enacted on the upper floor of this venerable building.
The wooden structure burned down in 1930 and a gas station and winery were later built on the site.
ULMANN’S HALL 1400 E. 55 St.
Later known as SACHSENHEIM, it is now the HOFBRAU HAUS restaurant. This facility once housed the Sorrowful Mother Slovenian Catholic Church in 1907. It was under the pastorship of Rev. Kasimir Zakrajšek, O.F.M. and was designed for all Slovenians living west of East 55th. The church, however, soon was dissolved and merged with St. Vitus.
ULMER HALL 5707 St. Clair
In later years it was known as TIEBER’S. Not very much is known about this establishment, however the late Frank Turk, pioneer historian, wrote that it was used as the headquarters for petitioning the City of Cleveland to erect the St. Clair Bathhouse at E. 63rd and St. Clair. Old timers will remember the fort-like appearance of the turret-clock tower. This entire Tieber block was razed years ago to make room for a gas station.
GERMANIA GARDENS 1357 E. 55 St.
VERNOMANIA
Out of a storm cloud you burst into my doorless boathouse one icy day in early May.
Sired by lightning, cradled on the north wind, you nestled your blinded fledglings on a crossbeam tie rod against the cold.
Midsummer madness nudges you
to prod your torpid young
to zig - (and skim and skip and dive, then)
- zag again into the lurching sky -to chase the sun across this gypsy earth.
Below the May high-water mark the door I built in A ugust haste, unmindful of your clandestine farewell.
But now that autumn woods at noon are lit by midnight fires two paneless portholes scan the southern clouds for your return.

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to the following residents of the Slovene Home for the Aged who have birthdays in November:
Frances Sadar, 89 Mary Žnidaršič, 91
Joseph Tisovec, 76 Marko Sarich, 92 Martin Vogrin, 84 Cecilia Hočevar, 79 Mary Progar, 100 Mary Silhanek, 81 Louis Smerdel, 72
Also later known as KIND-SVATER GARDENS. This was not really a hall, as such, but an outdoor summer picnic grove on the east side of E. 55th St. halfway between St. Clair and Bonna. We are including Germania Gardens since there was performed one of the first Slovenian drama presentations on the outdoor bandstand, without the benefit of any sets or scenery.
This was also the site of many picnics, religious services and musical concerts. An industrial firm, the Leiden Cabinet Co. stands on the approximate site of the Germania Gardens.

Our Travels thru National Parks and Monuments
by Cyril Grilc
% wife, Mary, and I began a two week bus tour of National Parks and Monuments in El Paso, western Texas on a Saturday in August.
I went on an afternoon bus lr'P across the Rio Grande to Juarez, Mexico. Their tequila 's as powerful as Slovenian Slivovka. It is interesting to note the population of these cities, although not even ln the same country, share one Phone book with the same °cal call charges.
That evening in our hotel ’here was a get acquainted din-ner with- the other 41 Passengers that made up our tr'P. With the exception of a
few, we were all strangers to each other, but before long we were one happy family of golden agers. On leaving El Paso we traveled through part of Texas to New Mexico and shortly before noon we arrived at Carlsbad Caverns which are a bit different from vast Mammoth Cave in Kentucky but very much like Postojnska Jama. Not as cool, but dryer. It is also bigger with self-guided easy walks with superior lighting. The entrance is from top of a hill so visitors go down in an elevator 750 feet and can spend as much time there as they wish. There is also a cafeteria.
That evening, after dinner, we went back near the cavern

ed. He also helped to initiate the only 30 piece band of its kind — the United Slovene Society group which has delighted people at many festivals, parades and charitable events in America.
As a leader of the East 185th Street business association, he initiated the popular annual Old World Festival nine years ago.
Tony has been awarded numerous awards from federal, state, local and charitable officials for his community volunteer work. In 1967, at the age of 26, he was the youngest recipient of the Slovenian Man of the Year Award from the Federation of Slovenian National Homes.
Tony has the distinction of hosting the longest daily polka and ethnic radio program for the past 25 years assisted by Alice Kuhar and Joey Tom-sick.

to watch at twilight as a large amount of bats emerged from a 100 foot oval opening. For 5-10 minutes a steady steam of bats came out to feed at distant places. By daybreak they are back in the cave.
Then on thru open range country we journeyed to Albuquerque and the capital city of Santa Fe. Saw many interesting sights.
Tuesday we continued on the same kind of terrain and by noon we were in Durango, Colorado, an old mining town with saloons.
A good hour after refreshments we arrived at Mesa Verde National Park where we stayed two nights. There were loose tame deer around our lodgings and with no town lights, I again saw the Milky Way after many years. In this area Indians lived over a thousand years ago in stone built dwellings above and underground and in canyon open caves. They used ladders to get to the top. Most of it is still as it was with very little repairs or restoring. The Indians disappeared many years before Columbus and left no markings of what they were nor what they were called. Latter arriving Navajos called them Anasazi meaning “Ancients.”
Next morning we went over to Four Corners, the only place in the U.S. where four states meet, namely Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The Indians in a circle around it have souvenir stands of their crafts because this area is in their territory. They are mostly Navajos.
Then we motored thru Monument Valley in Arizona where in the midst of nowhere are huge (up to a thousand feet high) red stone monuments as if they were pushed up out of the ground. Amazing.
Later on we arrived at Grand Canyon and rode for a few miles along the South Rim with stops to view the spectacular sights that were created by river and late afternoon sun. At this place the Canyon is 10 miles wide and the Colorado River is a mile down. We spent the night there.
In the morning back to the same road with the canyon bathed by the morning sun. What a transformation, a change of view and colors.
Next we ventured on more red desert land up northward and came to Glen Canyon Dam over the same Colorado River with power house deep

down. At nearby Lake Powel Recreation Center, we had lunch.
Then we moseyed westward to Zion National Park with high cliffs and deep canyons and rock formations. The multiple colors are so different from what we have seen up north making it spectacular and breath-taking. Never saw anything like it before.
After a long day we arrived in Cedar City for the night.
The next morning, Saturday, we enjoyed a leisurly ride straight north where red surroundings are giving way to the browns and greens. By early afternoon we enter Salt Lake City, Utah and settled in our hotel across the street from Temple Square and were free the rest of the day to explore as we wished. The Temple is big and impressive, but not open to the public, however, a church in the square is. The Tabernacle is an oval dome structure that holds over 8,000. The next morning, the last Sunday in August, we practically filled the place and heard the Mormon Choir during the weekly broadcast. Very impressive. The broadcast has been uninterrupted for over 50 years.
After a late departure we rode along Salt Lake for a while which is now at a very high salt level after years of dryng up. We scoot over a corner of Idaho and land in Jackson, Wyoming. It is a big tourist attraction open summer and winter.
Now we are in the Grand Teton Mountain Range with familiar Alps. By noon we enter Yellowstone National Park just in time to see Old Faithful geyser erupt as it does an average of every 70 minutes.
During the few hours of touring the park we saw many more geysers, birds and animals, moose, elk, deer, but no bears because they had
become a nuisance so they were relocated.
Out of the park we jump on over to Cody for some shut eye, pardner.
The next day we experienced a long ride through cowboy ranching and coal mining country. We came to Custer, South Dakota in time to be at the foot of Mount Rushmore to see the lighting the four figures in granite: Jefferson, Washington, T. Roosevelt and Lincoln. Very thrilling. The heads are about 60 feet high and it took 14 years to complete this project without a loss of life.
In the morning we returned to see the sun shine on them as they face east. The sight is beyond description. To me (along with Zion National Park) it made the biggest impression of the trip.
Then we rode back to Wyoming, south through Cheyenne and due to some detours we arrived late in Denver where we spent two nights at a hillside hotel overlooking the city center.
The next day we toured Rocky Mountain National Park with over 11,000 foot pass to way above the timber line. It was a clear day and the veiws were spectacular. Mary stayed in the city visiting some long time friends.
That night we had a rare well dinner with our very h ippy companions. Although we were two wecAS. toge; .• on a 3,000 mile trip, wc j-together spier tly.

(as usual) a change of planes in Dallas enabled us to arrive late in the evening back home in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Our tour included good hotels or motels, breakfast and dinner every day, all admission fees and gratitudes, except the driver and hostess who were very good. It was a worthwhile and very enjoyable Saga Tour.

DarTs Diary Rev. Victor Tome to be Pastor Emeritus
by Dan J. Postotnik
When I wrote my last article on Dr. John J. DeJak not long ago, I did not think the opportunity would arise so soon to write about another well known son of St. Vitus Parish. He is the affable, Rev. Victor N. Tome, pastor of St. Mary’s Parish in Collin wood.
Father Tome attained age 70 on Oct 29 and became eligible for retirement. He will become Pastor Emeritus of St. Mary’s on April 1, 1987, exactly 20 years to the day of his appointment as pastor on April 1, 1967.
Therefore, Sunday, Nov. 23 will be the last Thanksgiving Bazaar for Fr. Tome as pastor of St. Mary’s parish. All parishioners and former parishioners, and friends are urged to attend the event which will last from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Baraga Hall (the old church).
Father Vic, as he is affectionately known, and I were friends from way back when we served Mass in the late 20s. Later, in the mid 30s we were both interested in the St. Vitus Dramatic Club (Svetovidski Oder) under the direction of assistant pastor Rev. Matthew A. Jager, and the St. Vitus Theater Guild, directed by Stanley Frank (who now writes articles about the St. Clair Pensioners for this paper).
He took small parts in a number of the productions and helped with the back stage crew. In those days. Father Tome, despite being busy with his studies, still found time for parish activities, including another favorite, the Holy Name Society. He was especially active with the Junior Holy Namers, who staged many of their own productions.
St. Clair history buff Frank Zupančič and myself had a wonderful hour and a half rap session with Father Tome
Early Holiday Issue
Because the Friday, Nov. 28 English pages edition falls on the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, we will print that English section in combination with the Tuesday, Nov. 25 American Home newspaper and it will be delivered to both the regular subscribers and the Friday only readers.
Please remember this when submitting articles or announcements for the Nov. 28 American Home. It will be printed three days earlier.
recently at his parish rectory and talked about the so called “good old days,” and his pending retirement. We reminisced about the good times we had at the Mass server outings to the various Slovenian farms in the Painesville, Madison and Geneva areas, the camaraderie we experienced in our groups, along with other young persons in such organizations as the Young Ladies Sodality, the 80 voice choral group called the Baraga Glee Club, under the direction of Father Jager, and that incomparable lady pianist, Miss Eleanore Karlinger, and the Orels, a gymnastic and social club.
I still say that Father Ponikvar, the pastor, and his assistants. Father Andrey and Father Jager, never received enough recognition for the wonderful job they did in bringing the youth of the parish together for so many activities, keeping them off the streets, and close to the church. Of course, that was a different era, too. We did not have the affluence of today, and we did not have as many distractions. What beautiful memories we have of those days!
Father Vic cartie from a family of ten, six boys and four girls, and they lived at 6206 Dibble Ave., south of Superior Ave. His parents were Michael and Katarina (nee Kralj), from Podzemelj, Belokrajina, Slovenia. His parents are deceased, as are two of his brothers, John and Tony, and a sister, Jean. For some ten years Michael Tome had an “Ameriška Domovina” paper route and really enjoyed it.
Upon completing grade school at St. Vitus in 1931, Father Tome enrolled at Cathedral Latin High School, and graduated in 1935. After a year’s “vacation,” he entered John Carroll University in 1936, where he completed his studies in 1938. Father Vic then began his final preparation for the priesthood at St. Mary’s Seminary on Ansel Rd. in the fall of 1938.
He was ordained on Dec. 18, 1943, and that must have been a very happy day, not only for his family, but for his pastor, Rev. Bartholomew J. Ponikvar, who not only had one, but two of his parishioners ordained priests on the same day. The other was Rev. Victor J. Cimperman. This was really nothing
Rev. Victor Tome
new to Father Ponikvar, as he saw another two of his boys ordained on the same day eight years earlier, Msgr. Louis B. Baznik and Rev. Joseph Celesnik. Father Tome sang his first Mass on Dec. 26, 1943.
“My first priestly assignment was right here at St. Mary’s,” related Father Vic, “and it was also while serving here that I was involved in a very serious auto accident with Father Celesnik. I came out of it with all my ribs broken, and it took me four months to get back on my feet.”
In July 1946, he was transferred to his home parish, St. Vitus, and stayed until 1955. He then became assistant at St. Christine’s until 1960. Father Vic also served at Holy Family, Parma, Ohio, to Nov., 1965, when he was reassigned to St. Mary’s, Col-linwood, and became its pastor on April 1,	1967,
replacing Rev. Matthew A. Jager, who retired, having been pastor there for 14 years.
“Years later when we redecorated the church, I did not want to change anything from what Father Jager had done, and we used the original colors,” said Father Tome, heaping praise on his predecessor for building such a beautiful church, and calling him a “very artistic man.”
It is unique that our distinguished retiree-to-be served under the two first pastors of St. Vitus parish, Msgr. Vitus Hribar and Msgr. B. J. Ponikvar. Another significant fact is Father Vic began his priestly career at St. Mary’s, Collinwood, and is ending it at St. Mary’s, Collinwood. He is, by the way, a fifth cousin to the renowned Slovenian musical composer, Msgr. Matija Tomc.
Father Vic is a real down to earth guy, easy to talk to, and loves to smile. It is no wonder he is so well liked.
“I never had an ‘identity crisis,’ and enjoyed my stays at all assignments,” he remarked. “I was always under
older pastor, gained a lot of wisdom from them, and was very much influenced by my St. Vitus pastor Father Ponikvar.” We recall that when Father Vic was still smoking cigars, he even imitated his role model in his unique cigar smoking manner (if you don’t know, you might ask him sometime). He went on to say, “I have had wonderful cooperation here and have fine parishioners at St. Mary’s.”
Besides his pastoral duties, Father Vic still finds time to be active in the Cause for Beatification of Bishop Frederick Baraga and has been the Vice Postulator for the Cleveland area for the past 12 years. He has led the annual Baraga weekend pilgrimages for 10 years and received the “Baraga Man of the Year Award” five years ago.
Father Tome was also it1' strumental in having a regular Slovenian Mass read for the patients at the Slovene Home for the Aged with Sloveniaf singing. He said, “Singing hj good therapy for the ill an^ lonely.” Another event he responsible for is the Annua Venison Dinner held for a number of years sponsored W the parish for the benefit o the Slovene Home for the Aged.
When April 1 rolls around next year may the Bells of St’ Mary’s peal out this message loud and clear, “A millt°n thanks to you, Father Victor Tome, for all you have done for us, and for all of the wonderful memories!” Your parishioners, and manV friends, including us at the Ameriška Domovina wish y011 a long, healthy, and hapP^ retirement!
