have left their mark on the polka music field.

The Tony Petkovšek radio shows feature co-host Joey Tomsick; highlight reporter Alice Kuhar; Slovenian announcer Duke Marsic; and women’s interviewer Patty Sluga.

New Book About Early Slovenians
After a lengthy preparation, a book about the Veneti, Slovenians’ predecessors, has been completed in the English language.
I believe it is one of the most important books about Slovenians. It demonstrates their proper identity and history; it speaks of the beginning of European culture and reveals ancient Slovenian language as an advanced language of Venetian with remarkable inscriptions.
The book will be enjoyed by each Slovenian-conscious person. To those descendants of Slovenians who do
VENETI
not speak Slovenian, the book offers an excellent opportunity to know their roots.
Even though the book has 500 pages with numerous illustrations and is firmly bound, the price is only $25.00 American. Mailing cost by ordinary mail is only $4.00. For airmail and delivery to North America it is $11.00 and $27.00 to Australia.

Slovenian bank seeks listing abroad
By Marja Novak	percent of its capital as part
Slavko Avsenik
LJUBLJANA - Slovenia’s second biggest bank SKB Banka is seeking to become the first com pany in the country to be listed abroad, Slovenian news agency STA reported.
STA, quoting an SKB statement only released to local media, said the bank had already approached Nomura International and the Bank of New York to act as advisors in its bid for a listing.
Banking sources in London told Reuters SKB was ^ planning to issue global depository receipts which may eventually represent up to 29
of the bank’s longer term strategy of diversifying its shareholder base.
The sources said Nomura would lead the issue while Bank of New York would act as the depository bank.
SKB, Slovenia’s largest private bank, declined to make any immediate comment.
Cvetka Selšek, SKB’s executive director of international banking, said in an interview with Reuters in June that the bank was considering an international listing in order to raise the price of its shares.

Ohio’s motto
In 1866, a bill passed in the Ohio legislature specifying a motto to be incorporated into the Great Seal.
The motto, Imerium in Imperio, “an empire with in an empire.” But the motto was to be short-lived.
Great clamor arose over the pretentious feudal meaning of the Latin words and in 1867, the law authorizing it was repealed. Ohio had no motto for the next 91 years.
In 1958, Jimmie Mastronardo, a sixth grade student in Cincinnati, became concerned that Ohio was the only state to have no motto. He found the perfect one in Matthew 19:26: “With God all things are possible.” His classmates and interested friends helped him circulate a petition to the legislature, and in 1959, the new motto was adopted.

John Larish pens photography book
John Larish of the Rochester, NY area, just published a book titled, “Fun with Digital Photography.”
In the. 80-page booklet John explains everything there is to know about the new picture-taking technique known as “Digital Photography” in language that everyone can understand.
John is a former scientist for Eastman Kodak Company and knows the latest developments in the photography business.
American Home readers may recall John printed a book a few years ago called, “The Seat Next to Me” calling to mind some of the adventures he had while traveling all over the world for Eastman Kodak.
The new book is in full color with numerous pictures on each page which compliments the text. Polka fans may enjoy a photograph on page 66 which Mr. Larish took of Joey Tomsick playing the button box accordion.
Cost of the book is $9.95 USA and is available at most photographic stores. It is printed by Silver Pixel Press, 21 Jet View Dr., Rochester, NY 14624; fax: (716) 328-5078.
We are approaching three important holidays: Thanksgiving, St. Nicholas, and Christmas. The feast of St. Nicholas is of particular importance to the American Slovenian community.
St. Nicholas reminds us of all the good that is possible for mankind, if given the proper guidance in life. Slovenska šola pri sv. Vidu has been in existence for more than 40 years in the tradition of giving proper guidance to our youth, as the poet Karl Mauser wrote, “The most precious golden coins - are our children.”
As in the past, we turn to the Slovenian community to be generous benefactors and again be our “angels” and
support the ongoing work of the Slovenian school.
You are kindly asked to be a sponsor and to give what you consider most appropriate and to give from your heart. Please send your check to St. Vitus Slovenian School, 1522 Lincoln Rd., Wickliffe, OH 44092.

^ Crime Prevention jyk Tips for Senior
Citizens
:	x''v' „J®
□	Help make your community a safer place to live and don't let fear of crime restrict your activities. Being alert to your surroundings, installing good locks on doors and windows, and taking common-sense precautions while inside and outside your home can reduce opportunities for crime. To give yourself that extra margin of security:
Use Direct Deposit for pension and Social Security checks. Don’t display large amounts of cash in public.
□	Be wary of talkative strangers when the conversation turns to money. Read every newspaper report on con games and be ready to say no if someone comes to you with a get-rich-quick scheme.
Travel with friends when you leave home to go shopping, to the bank, or doctor.
□	Get to know your neighbors and keep their phone numbers handy for emergencies.
□	Work out a “buddy” system with a friend to check on each other's welfare daily.
If you're alone, don’t advertise it. Use only your first initial in phone books, directories, and apartment lobbies.
i 1 If you must carry a purse, hold it close to your body. Don’t leave your wallet or purse on a counter or in a shopping cart unattended.
□	If you are threatened by physical force, don’t resist. Remain calm and observe the assailant so you can give an accurate description to the police.
□	Join to help make your neighborhood thrive. You could be a foster grandpqrent or a block parent for children in on emergency. Join a Window Watch to keep an eye out for unusual activity in your neighborhood or help a neighbor who’s been a recent victim of crime. A neighborhood where people are active and involved is always a safer, better place to be.
Happy Thanksgiving!

During the first weeks, Cilka often brought me a piece of bread when I was working in the barn or the chicken coop, where I had set up a workshop. When “Aunt” became convinced that I didn’t drink, she said, “Tony, since you don’t drink, you can take milk, bread, oranges or apples from the icebox whenever you want!” I gratefully took advantage of her offer -whenever I was really hungry-
In the afternoon John and I went to Greenwood. I sold $5.65 worth of lace at the Farmers’ Store. When will I have enough for a car?

At 11,1 went to Neilsville for the first time. At the courthouse they told me what I had to do to get my “first citizenship paper.” An old clerk named Frantz knew less than I did. At the farmers’ store I wasn’t able to sell a single piece of lace.
February 5
Nice weather. At 10:30 we went to church, then from 1 to 3 at Stancar’s. They have 48 head of cattle, many pieces of equipment and plenty of everything. They were sponsors for Paula Rihtar, but she wasn’t happy. Mrs. Stancar said, “It isn’t anything hard! Nothing more than serving two boys;

In the evening our sponsors went to play cards and we went to bed. Our sponsors played cards at home sometimes, but they would tell me, “You take care of your child, since you don’t know how to play cards.” Johnny usually played by himself and I read. When I interrupted his playing once, he said, “Don’t bother me!” Where did he learn to talk like that?
February 6,1950
“Uncle” sold a three-week-old calf at 20 cents a pound for 97 pounds. Then we immediately got a new one. What a fortunate birth! In the afternoon we hauled a wagon-load of wood from the woods.
February 7
In the morning we hauled in three wagon-loads of wood, and one in the afternoon from four large birch trees. Tiring work!

I fixed the manger for the horses.
Back in Slovenia, life must be harder than it was in America during the Depression. “Aunt” Mary received a letter from a relative, begging her for a bag of white flour. “Uncle” did not agree, so Mary did not send the flour.
We have received other kinds of requests from Slovenia as well. “Uncle” received a letter from a relative, a young girl, who asked him to send her a pair of eyeglasses with golden frames. I advised him to ask her to send him a prescription written by an optometrist. He did, and the young
lady responded, “No prescription is necessary. The quality of the lenses is not important; the only important thing is the golden frame.” Uncle did not fill that request either.

February 12,1950 At 8:15 Cilka and Johnny went to church. Mary told me about her argument with John. She wants us to stay because we’re a good influence on her husband. He’s more peaceful and sober these days. Will we be able to live together? I am having doubts about that.
John never seems happy with my work. I can milk the way he tells me today, but tomorrow he’ll want it done differently.
Sometimes I’m feeling hopeless. “Aunt” , noticed this right away and asked John, “What was the problem with you and Tony? Why is he so sad?” John didn’t answer.
February 13,1950 I received a bill from the National Catholic Welfare Conference for the train fare from New York to Marshfield - $101.31. Where will I get the money?

The Search for Red October
By Robert M. Debevec
Each fall my bride of 50 plus years, Elaine, and I try to plan a fall trip to take in the ever-changing autumn colors. We call it our Hunt For Red October (with apologies to Tom Clancy).
This year we did the trip with our 23-foot motor home and traveled through parts of Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
We started from Madison on a sunny day in October and drove the first day to Springfield, Ohio, where we visited my sister, Bertha and her husband, Ned. We camped at Buck Creek State Park which is just outside of Springfield. We call it “camping” but our kids laugh at us as our RV has a furnace, hot water heater, refrigerator, TV, freezer, etc.
After all these years, we figure we earned some comforts.
The next morning we headed for Mounds State Park in Indiana. This is about 50 miles northwest of Indianapolis where our daughter, Diane, lives and works. She met us at the campground with her dog, Annie, and we camped there for two days.
Mounds Park features ten distinct “earthworks” and one gigantic ceremonial “Mound.” These were built by a group of prehistoric Indians known as the Adena-Hopewell people. The largest mound is believed to have been constructed around 160 B.C. which makes it older than we are. The park has great hiking trails and a beautiful Nature
Center as well as many, many colorful trees and bushes.
After a great visit with Diane and Annie we headed southeast towards East Fork State Park which is 30 miles east of Cincinnati. This is one of Ohio’s largest state parks. It includes both rugged hills and open meadows. This is part of the Little Miami River Basin which has been home to many generations of man, dating back to nearly 3,000 years ago.
Just south of East Fork is the birthplace of our IS^1 president, U.S. Grant. This area attracted early Ohio settlers in the 19^ century who built sawmills, blacksmith shops, etc. there.
In 1869 two gold mines were opened in the region. They flourished for a number of years and were an important part of the economy in those days. We looked around but the only gold we saw was in the fall foliage.
After two days of exploring and enjoying the area, we headed east along U.S. 32. This is a four-lane highway which runs generally between Cincinnati and Athens, Ohio. It turned out to be one of the most beautiful, drive-able and interesting roads on our expedition. There is very little traffic and (what a blessing!) there are no semi’s.
We eventually left the easy driving of U.S. 32 and headed south on smaller back roads to Forked Run State Park on the banks of the Ohio River.
According to local historians, the Indians returning from their raids into western
Virginia routinely crossed the Ohio at that point with their plunder and prisoners.
There are vast stands of oak, hickory, maple and tulip trees in the deep ravines and hillsides of the region. A flock of wild turkeys came gobbling around our campsite and stopped by to say “hello.” We had never seen them in the wild before, although we had read that they were in abundance in southern Ohio.
The next morning we crossed the Ohio River at Gallipolis and headed east and north through West Virginia. The flatlands gradually leveled out and we began to encounter some of the foothill country. It was interesting to see the red, orange, yellow and purple hills interspersed with the green of the tall mountain pines.
It was late afternoon when we reached Morgantown, West Virginia so we decided to stay at a state campground which, according to our camp directory, was 30 miles east of the city. It was called “Cooper’s Rock” and although we had no idea what to expect, we were curk»us to know something about the unusual name and its background. We found it to be one of the most spectacular stops on our journey into the unknown.
The campground itself was small but scenic. The sites were placed in isolated areas and were very spacious. As it turned out, we were the only campers that night. If you like the feeling of being alone with nature

By PATRICIA COIL, Euclid Travel
Question: What can a person do to protect himself from robbery or assault, while traveling?
Answer:	Never leave
your hotel or motel room door unlocked. Never allow anyone into your room without proper identification. Always call down to the front desk to make sure the person at your door was actually sent by them.
When you go out, yes indeed, leave the television set on, so that it sounds like the room is occupied.
Question:	What
other safety precautions do you always take when traveling?
Answer: I listen to the safety instructions, when flying. I make sure that I know where the closest exit is on the plane, because there might not be time in an emergency to find it. The first thing I regularly do in a motel or hotel is count how many doorways there are between my room
and the stairway, so that if the hallway were filled with smoke, I could still find my way to the stairs.
Question: How can people reach me, if there is an emergency at home, while I am on vacation?
Answer:	Without fail,
give family members and/or close friends a copy of your itinerary, which should include the name, address, and phone number where you can be reached each day. If you are taking a cruise, include the name of the ship.
Travel/Plus VISA provides a toll-free message service, where you can receive or leave up to a 25-word message daily-Contact Euclid Travel, 261-1050 to apply for this travel card.
If you have a question related to travel, write American Home newspaper, or call Euclid Travel, 22078 Lake Shore Blvd., Euclid, OH 44123 and the answer will appear in this column.

(as we do) it was just perfect. We built a roaring campfire to keep away the bears (just kidding, about the bears, that is) and had some great filet mignons from our freezer. This was an adventure in itself as we kind of shy away from meat these days.
We had another adventure the next morning as we Were preparing to leave camp, at least Elaine did. She was chased by a fox wbile strolling through the campground. A fox? They don t chase people, but she 'nsisted (all out of breath) that this one did. When we 0 d our son , Carl, about this ,ater> he said it may have ®en rabid. But she said no; e was sure it was a fox.

After taking in as much as we could of the vista, we headed east into Maryland and sampled some of that state’s fall show-off colors. There were a few exclusively Eastern species of trees and we enjoyed viewing them and comparing them with our own Ohio trees. We drove about 100 miles or so through Maryland and then headed up north into Pennsylvania.
Our destination was Clear Creek State Park which is just outside of Cook’s Forest. The roads were the usual narrow, but interesting back-country former buggy trails which had been more or less adapted to modern motor vehicles. We’re sure the original or even later road builders had never anticipated that someone would be foolish enough to drive a five-ton motor home along these roads. However, we managed with no problems.
The campground was situated on the Clarion River and very outdoorsy. This feeling was emphasized by a couple of quarreling raccoons which paid us a visit during the night.
The next day found us driving in a northerly direction on U.S. 62. This road meanders alongside the river with all its twists and turns. There are many scenic pull-offs of which we took advantage.
Our next objective was the Allegheny National Forest Campground with the romantic name of “Red Bridge.” It is located on State Route 262. This road is listed in the Directory as “The Longhouse National Scenic By-Way.”
It really was scenic and is all part of the National Recreation area in the Allegheny Forest. Kinzua Dam is a short distance away and there are many hiking, snowmobiling and crosscountry skiing trails. The
Forest is about 150 miles east of Cleveland which makes it within easy striking distance of Ohio. We were too late for the Mountain Laurel for which the area is noted since it blooms in profusion in mid-June.
The weather finally caught up with us. The last night out, the sky opened up and we experienced heavy thunderstorms and strong winds which gave our little home-away-from-home a good shaking up. Later we learned that this same storm was the one which wiped out Game One of the World Series in New York.
In our 10 days and 1,500 miles of travel we had encountered nothing but sunshine until this last day when we were heading back to Madison, but we weren’t complaining. Of course, fall colors are always beautiful but the sunshine makes them even more so. We felt that our Hunt For Red October had been very successful.
Heart of the Matter
When you’re trying to slim it out, it helps to ingest most of your daily calories in the morning. Now it seems that early morning feeding can also help your heart.
According to Consumer Reports on Health, consuming the majority of calories early in the day and allowing plenty of time before your next meal may aid in the metabolism of fats. Also, eating this way can help the production of insulin and make blood less sticky, which may reduce the risk of heart attack.

flute mail have graced Slovenian JVeandertkal fire
Ri/	n	__i
By John Noble Wilford
In the evening by firelight in their caves and rock shelters, the Neanderthals some-unes relaxed to the sound of music after a ard day at the hunt. They took material at and, a cave bear’s thigh bone, and created a ute. With such a simple instrument, these S oc y, heavy-browed Neanderthals, extinct ose Natives of humans, may have given expression to the fears, longings and joys of eir prehistoric lives.
The image of Neanderthals as flautists, ^ aving any ability for musical expression, jVas once beyond imagining. But a discovery e 3 cave >n Slovenia, announced recently, v° es such a possible image, much to the rprise of archeologists and paleoanthro-pologists.

Since the object resembled bone flutes found at other European and Asian sites of modern humans, usually dated from 22,000 to 35,000 years ago, Dr. Turk concluded that this could also be a flute, which would mean it was the first musical instrument ever to be associated with Neanderthals.

Bone flute-like object, found at Divje Babe I site in northwestern Slovenia.
The team of Canadian and American researchers, including a high school student from Queens, New York, has now established that the artifact is at least 43,000 years old, perhaps as much as 82,000 years old. If so, the researchers said, the bone flute is the oldest known musical instrument.
The findings were reported in Denver by Dr. Bonnie Blackwell of Queens College of the City University of New York. Other members of the team of geologists were Dr. Turk; Dr. Joel I. Blickstein of Queens College; Dr. Henry P. Schwarcz of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and Beverly Lau, who was a student at Robert F. Kennedy High School in Flushing, Queens, at the time.
Dr. Blackwell said the dates were determined by analyzing enamel from five cave

10 flute mil have graced Slovenian Meanderthal fire
(Continued from page^) bear teeth found in the same sedimentary layer with the putative flute. Objects of such antiquity cannot be dated by the usual radiocarbon techniques. Instead, the teeth were tested using a dating technology, electron spin resonance, that measures the small amounts of radiation absorbed by the objects since their burial in the ground.
The wide divergence in the estimated ages for the teeth, Dr. Blackwell said, reflected the researchers’ uncertainty about how much moisture the cave floor has been exposed to. If the teeth had been subjected to excessive amounts of water, they would have absorbed less radiation; this could result in a too-low age estimate. Other evidence in the cave suggested that it has seen alternating periods of very dry and very wet conditions over the past 100,000 years. Further tests on more teeth and using other techniques are planned to narrow the uncertainty.
At first, the purpose of the research was simply to date the teeth of the cave bears, animals that became extinct about 35,000 years ago. Then, after more explorations. Dr. Turk found the femur with the four holes.
“All of a sudden,” he recalled, “our work went from being important to being exceedingly important. We were dating a site with a musical instrument, the only one ever found in a Neanderthal context.”
Few subjects in human evolution are more puzzling than those concerning the
nature and fate of the Neanderthals. They were shorter and stockier than most modem homo sapiens, but were otherwise similar in anatomy and had a brain-case as large or larger. They seemed to show none of the aptitude for art displayed by the cave painters who were their contemporaries and successors.
But Neanderthals occupied a wide swath of the earth’s surface, from the Atlantic coast to the Middle East and Central Asia and from northern Germany to Gibraltar, during their heyday 70,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Modem humans are thought by most scientists to have originated in Africa 150,000 to 200,000 years ago; they migrated to Europe about 40,000 years ago. Then the Neanderthals lost out in the competition with modern humans and disappeared.
Dr. Erik Trinkaus, an anthropologist at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, who is an authority on Neanderthals, said the discovery could have important implications for understanding these mysterious human relatives.
If the interpretation of the new discovery is correct, Dr. Trinkaus said, “it reinforces the basic humanness of Neanderthals, even though they were different from modern humans with a different life style.”
The discovery might also settle the issue of weather Neanderthals were capable of some simple speech. “I can’t imagine a group having conscious music without having language,” he said.

Ogrin wins first PGA
David Ogrin hung on after a potentially disastrous triple bogey to beat Jay Haas and a charging Tiger Woods on Sunday, Oct. 13 at the Texas Open for his first victory in 14 years on the PGA Tour.
The victory, worth $216,000 from a purse of $1.2 million, left Ogrin with $533,457 in earnings this year.
Despite his triple bogey at
the par-3 sixth hole and a closing bogey, Ogrin carded an even-par 72 to finish at 13-under 275.
Ogrin, who had led since Friday, nearly blew the tournament at the sixth.
His tee shot hit a cart path and rolled into a creek.

Question: I hate needles. I have been putting off my dental treatment because of the shots. Is there any other way to get numb?
Answer: Yes! Recently, dentists have begun to provide needle-less, painless anesthesia. Electronic Dental Anesthesia uses gentle electronic impulses to prevent pain signals from being sent to the brain. These impulses are transmitted through disposable pads which stick to your gums. The only sensation that is felt is tingling or pulsing.
This form of anesthesia also enhances the body’s natural ability to control pain by stimulating production of natural pain-blocking substances. It has anti-inflammatory properties as well. It is appropriate for most minor dental procedures, including fillings.
As an added benefit, there is no unpleasant numbness afterwards, as there is in traditional anesthesia. Once a procedure is completed, the anesthetic device is removed.

12 Increasing Dangers Posed By Assault Weapons To Law Enforcement Officers
(NAPS)—There is growing evidence to reveal that assault weapons are posing increased dangers to America’s police officers. A report, released by Handgun Control Inc., is entitled Cops Under Fire: Law Enforcement Officers Killed With Assault Weapons or Guns with High Capacity Magazines.
According to the report, “at a minimum, assault weapons are involved in 13 percent of fatal shootings of law enforcement officers,” yet, they account for less than one percent of the privately owned firearms in the United States. Some incidents that stand as graphic reminders of what the availability of military-style assault weapons on America’s streets has meant for the country’s law enforcement community include:
•	Northridge, CA, February 22, 1994—Officer Christy Lynne Hamilton, the oldest rookie in the history of the Los Angeles Police Department, was gunned down with an AR-15 assault rifle by a teenager who had already used the gun to kill his father. Officer Hamilton graduated from the Police Academy three days prior to the shooting.
•	Washington, D.C., November 22, 1994—In the Headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department, an angry young man armed with a TEC-9 assault pistol took the elevator to the third floor where he shot and killed Sergeant Hank Daly, FBI Special Agent Martha Dixon-Martinez and FBI Special Agent Mike Miller. FBI Special Agent John Kuchta was seriously wounded.
•	Chicago, IL, March 8, 1995— Officer Daniel Doffyn, a rookie with the Chicago Police Department and still in his probationary period, responded to a robbery in progress call and was killed by a known gang member armed with a TEC-9 assault pistol. Another officer was wounded in the attack. Prior to this incident the assailant had been involved in a
shoot-out with a rival gang.
Unfortunately, these are not isolated incidents. There is growing evidence that criminals, particularly younger offenders, have armed themselves with assault weapons and semi-automatic handguns sold with high capacity ammunition magazines—and police officers are paying a terribly high price.
“Clearly assault weapons are fast becoming the weapon of choice among violent criminals and they have made the police officer’s job more dangerous than ever before,” reports Craig Floyd, a spokesman for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Some in the police profession have begun calling assault weapons “cop killer guns,” and there is evidence to support the claim. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, assault weapons claimed the lives of at least ten police officers during 1995 or about 12 percent of all felonious deaths.
The report by Handgun Control Inc. summarizes the results of a study conducted to examine the danger that weapons banned in the 1994 crime law pose to law enforcement officials. The study analyzed 122 fatal shootings of law enforcement officers between Jan. 1, 1994, and Sept. 30, 1995. The study found that, of the 92 cases where the make and model of the gun could be identified, 36 percent involved an officer being killed with either an assault weapon or firearm that was sold or equipped with a large-capacity magazine.

Slovenia...	Joseph ZeUe
On Sunday, Novmber 3 the 25th anniversary of the death of Msgr. Jakob Ukmar was observed in the Jakob Ukmar Home in Skedenj. Msgr. Ukmar was remembered for his continued fight against discrimination of Slovenians in the Terst area under control of the Italians. He was a great conscious Slovenian who suffered tremendous discrimination following the World War I and World War II eras. God rest his soul!
Another new book has appeared on the Slovenian market. Its title is Rozmanov proces. It was written by historian Tamara Griesser Pečar and France Martin Dolinar. The authors described some of the complications and accusations against the Archbishop by the Communists after their inglorious victory following World War II. In all 13 articles of accusation there were various errors.
