Agent FBI aretiran, ker je baje vohunil za Sovjetsko zvezo - Prvi tak primer v zgodovini te organizacije
LOS ANGELES, Kalif. - Pretekli četrtek zvečer je bil na svojem domu v Bonsallu, Kalif, aretiran 47 let stari Richard W. Miller, agent FBI več kot 20 let, ki je baje vohunil za Sovjetsko zvezo. Načelnik FBI William Webster je dejal, da gre za prvi tak primer v dolgi zgodovini te organizacije.
Miller je obtožen, da je prodal strogo tajne dokumente o protiobveščevalni dejavnosti FBI dvema sovjetskima špijonoma. Ta Spij ona naj bi bila 34 let stara Svetlana Ogo-fodnikova in njen mož, 51-letni Nikolaj Ogorodnikov. Po nekaterih vesteh naj bi bil Miller zaljubljen v go. Ogorodnikovo, ki mu je baje celo zaupala, da ima čin majorja v sovjetskem KGB. Druge vesti pa trdijo, da se je Miller zanimal predvsem za denar in da naj bi bil zahteval za omenjene dokumente $50.000. Državni tožilec Raymond Edwards je povedal novinarjem, da sta bila Miller in Ogorodnikova namenjena v Varšavo, kjer naj bi bila kupčija sklenjena.
G. in ga. Ogorodnikov sta prišla v ZDA 1973. leta in sta živela v Los Angelesu. Drugi Priseljenci iz ZSSR, ki so ju poznali, vedo povedati, da sta stalno hvalila Sovjetsko zvezo in da torej niso nič presenečeni nad vestjo, da sta bila vohuna. Kot kaže, je Miller izročil ge. Ogorodnikov! dokument, ki je obsegal 26 strani in je orisal protiobveščevalne aktivnosti FBI. Ogorodnikova naj bi nesla dokument na sovjetski konzulat v San Fran-ciscu. Kot kaže, sedaj sodeluje Miller v preiskavi. Ako bodo obsojeni, lahko čaka vsem ^em dosmrtna ječa.

Kongresni odbor trdi, da so bili varnostni ukrepi ZDA v Bejretu neodgovorno Pomanjkljivi - Kje je bila zdrava pamet?
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Pododbor Predstavniškega doma je objavil poročilo o najnovejšem bombnem atentatu zoper ame-r>Ško poslaništvo v Bejrutu, do katerega je Pr'Šlo 20. septembra in v katerem je bilo ubi-14 oseb, od teh da ameriška vojaka, otočilo trdi, da so bili varnostni ukrepi ^A skrajno pomanjkljivi spričo splošno Znane nevarnosti, da bodo muslimanski te-r°risti izvedli atentat.

neodgovornem ravnanju v zvezi s to zadevo. Odgovornost za atentat v Bejrutu je moja, je pripomnil, ker sem jaz predsednik ZDA. V njegovih kampanjskih govorih demokratski kandidat Walter Mondale močno kritizira Reagana zaradi po Mondalovem mnenju povsem neučinkovita Reaganova politika v Libanonu in Srednjem vzhodu sploh.
Agitiranje protestantskih fundamentalistov kot je Jerry Falwall za predsednika Reagana skrbi mnoge Amerikance
CHICAGO, 111. - Harris Survey, ki ugotavlja javno mnenje, poroča, da je večina Amerikancev negativna do agitiranja za predsednika Reagana nekaterih protestantskih fundamentalistov kot npr. Jerry Falwell. Omenjen pa je tudi njujorški nadškof John J. O’Connor, ki je bil zelo kritičen do stališča demokratske podpredsedniške kandidatinje Geraldine Ferraro do vprašanja abortusa. Ferraro je namreč katoličanka. O’Connor je tudi svetoval katoliškim volivcem, naj glasujejo zoper kandidate, ki podpirajo splav.
Harris Survey trdi, da je 59 odstotkov ameriških volivcev negativnih do aktivnosti za predsednika Reagana J. Falwella. Podpira Falwella v tem le 24% anketiranih in celo relativna večina protestantskih fundamentalistov nasprotuje Falwellu (44% proti, 41% za). Falwell trdi, da večina Amerikancev podpira dopolnilo ustavi ZDA, ki bi dovolilo molitev v javnih šolah, Harris Survey je ugotovil, da je proti takemu dopolnilu 53%, za pa le 41% vseh volivcev. O dopolnilu ustavi, ki bi z zakonom preprečila splav, je pa proti 61%, za pa 30% volivcev. Harris Survey je tudi vprašal volivce o tem, ali podpira izjave nadškofa O’Connorja, v katerih le-ta svetuje katoličanom, naj glasujejo zoper kandidate, ki so za zakonite splave. Proti O’Connorju je bilo 67%, za pa 22% volivcev.
Zvezni senat nasprotuje ukinitvi gmotne podpore oboroženim skupinam, ki se
bojujejo zoper sandinistični režim
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Zvezni senat ni pripravljen odobriti v predstavniškem domu sprejet zakonski osnutek, po katerem bi bila Reaganova administracija prisiljena ukiniti podporo, ki jo daje oboreženim gverilcem, ki se bojujejo zoper sandinistični režim v Nikaragvi. V zadnjem času vodijo sandinisti kampanjo v ZDA, po kateri skušajo najti podporo v ameriškem javnem mnenju. Poudarjajo, da so zvesti demokratičnim načelom in da o kakem komunističnem sistemu v Nikaragvi ni mogoče govoriti. Kot kaže, imajo oboroženi uporniki nekaj uspeha v napadih na sandiniste, kar povzroča težave za režim. Vesti, ki prihajajo iz Nikaragve, govorijo o rastoči opoziciji, vendar opazovalci razmer v deželi pravijo, da vsaj zaenkrat obstoj režima ni v nevarnosti.
Šimon Peres, predsednik izraelske vlade,
pride v Washington prihodnji teden
JERUZALEM, Izr. - Prihodnji teden se bo mudil v ZDA na svojem prvem uradnem obisku po prevzemu dolžnosti predsednika izraelske vlade Šimon Peres. Glavni namen njegovega obiska je zaprositi za precejšnjo povišitev ameriške gospodarske pomoči Izraelu. V letu 1985 naj bi Izrael že prejel 2,6 milijarde dolarjev različne pomoči od ZDA, Peres pa želi veliko več. Kot kaže in sodeč po prejšnjih izkušnjah, bo v tem tudi uspel.

Klerikalizem v Ameriki
Vodilni marksistični tovariši v starem kraju, ki se bojijo »klerikalizma« bolj kot samega vraga, verjetno stikajo glave in se prestrašeni sprašujejo, kaj bo z njihovim brezbožnim režimom, če se v Združenih državah Amerike - njihovem dobrem stricu in botru prek morja - uveljavi političen koncept sodelovanja med religijo in politiko. Takšen razvoj bi po njihovem pojmovanju klerikalizma nujno vodil v političen sistem, kjer bi imeli glavno in odločilno besedo v važnih stvareh razni ministri, rabini, duhovniki in škofje, s čimer bi postala najmogočnejša in najbolj demokratična država na svetu infiltrirana z življenjskim stilom, ki ga oni nepravilno imenujejo klerikalizem.
Strah ima velike oči pri brezbožnih tovariših v domovini, kakor tudi pri njihovih simpatizerjih v Ameriki, a je popolnoma neutemeljen. Kar se v zadnjih letih dogaja v Ameriki, je iskanje možnosti in načina, kako bi posvetne in duhovne sile javnega življenja našle skupno platformo za sodelovanje v korist in blagor celokupne človeške družbe in prek nje slehernega poedinca te družbe. Znano je, kako se v tej deželi glasno, vedno bolj glasno, ponavlja staro Jeffer-sonovo geslo o ločitvi cerkve od države. Pravijo, da je ta določba v konstituciji, toda ta govori samo o tem, da kongres ne sme izglasovati uredbe, s katero bi se ustanovila kaka cerkev, in pa da je vera svobodna. To je vse, kar vsebuje konstitucija. Drugo, o čemer se danes veliko govori in piše, zlasti o famoznem nasipu ali ozidju (wall), ki mora ležati med cerkvijo in državo in biti povsem neprehoden, so skonstruirali ljudje in krogi, ki nočejo slišati o verskem in duhovnem potencialu slehernega človeka kot elementu za javno delo in življenje, češ, to je čisto privatna zadeva, ki nima v družbenem delovanju nobenega mesta.
Skoraj bolestno poudarjanje dokaj obrabljene fraze »separation of church and state«, ki jo gonijo ti veri sovražni krogi, ima za cilj dokaj enostavno in primitivno formulo za dosego namena: izriniti iz javnega življenja, političnega, gospodarskega, kulturnega, socialnega, sleherno sled vsakršne vere v Boga in Njegovo prisotnost v akcijah družbe-' nega gibanja. Šele kadar bi bilo to doseženo, bi bila njihova ideja o ločitvi cerkve od države zadovoljivo in dokončno uresničena. Tedaj bi postala Bog in vera Vanj čisto privatna zadeva poedinca, družine in cerkvene občine in tam ostala blokirana za ves ostali svet. Toda ljudsko prepričanje in volja takšno rešitev odklanja kot očitno kratenje verske svobode, in zahteva prisotnost Boga in njegovih zakonov tudi v javnem, političnem življenju. Zelo intenzivna prizadevnost laicističnih krogov v zadnjih desetletjih, da bi izgnali Boga iz vsega političnega udejstvovanja (vsako javno dejanje je namreč na neki način politično) je zdramila versko pozitivne množice in dotedanje dremavice. Zavedeli so se, da gre za velike in važne stvari in so se osvestili ter stopili iz dotedanje prijetne samozadovoljnosti. Začutili so, da zasledujejo vloge tožba pri sodiščih, zlasti pri Supreme Courtu, en in isti cilj: odstranitev vere iz javnega življenja -in so se uprli. K temu sta odločilno pripomogla zlasti dva odloka Supreme Courta, namreč o umetnem splavu in molitvi v šoli.
Da bo država uspešno ločena od cerkve (bolje: vere) je Supreme Court prepovedal vsako molitev v javnih šolah. (1962). Da se prepreči vtikanje verskih oblasti (cerkve) v (Dalje na str. 4)

TABOR DSPB vabi na družabni večer
CLEVELAND, O. - Jesenski družabni večer TABORA bo letos v soboto, 20. oktobra, v Slovenskem domu na Holmes Ave. Od sedme do devete ure bo na razpolago okusna večerja, potem pa nas bodo zabavali »Veseli Slovenci« s svojimi lepimi melodijami.
Naše društvo prireja le dva družabna večera vsako leto, da tako pride do dohodkov, ki so res nujno potrebni. Vzdrževanje »gaja junakov« na Orlovem vrhu na Slovenski pristavi, postavitev Bele stene in letos mogočnega križa istotam - terjajo svoje. Nekaj invalidov še vedno prejema podporo. Zgodovinski odsek, ki pripravlja novo izdajo Bele knjige za 40-letnico Vetrinjske tragedije, ima z zbiranjem in pripravljanjem gradiva velike stroške, ki jih je treba premostiti, da svet izve z dokumenti, kaj se je zgodilo v Kočevju, Teharjih in še na mnogih krajih v naši ožji domovini ob koncu druge svetovne vojne.

Slomškovo kosilo
CLEVELAND, O. - Že leta zasledujemo delo za priznanje svetništva naših slovenskih škofov Friderika Barage in Antona Martina Slomška, pa se nam zdi, da ni nobenega napredka. V vsa dogajanja mi nimamo vpogleda, čeprav so vsi pristojni krogi skoraj vse delo dovršili in so zadeve skoraj rešene tudi v Rimu. Toda tam nam ne morejo ugoditi, dokler božja služabnika nimata potrebnih dveh čudežev, ki bi se zgodila na njuni priprošnji. V molitvi moramo prositi Boga, da se čudeži zgode, s svojimi darovi pa omogočimo, da potrebni postopki ne zasta-
nejo.
Da gmotna potrebna sredstva vedno redno dotekajo, bo Slomškov krožek v Clevelandu postregel z okusnim kosilom v nedeljo, 28. oktobra, ob enajstih dopoldne do pol dveh popoldne v avditoriju pri Sv. Vidu tu v Clevelandu. Krožek najlepše vabi vse prijatelje Slomškove zveze, da pridejo na to kosilo. Ves dobiček bo šel za potrebe, povezane z delom za beatifikacijo A.

Iz zgodovine nastanka župnije sv. Vida v Clevelandu
(Malo uvoda v proslavo zlatega jubileja vidovskega Društva Najsvetejšega Imena, ki bo v nedeljo, 14. oktobra 1984.)
CLEVELAND. O. - Vitus Hribar, organizator prve slovenske župnije v Ameriki, je bil rojen pred 114 leti v kmečki družini - pri hiši se je reklo »Pri Matežetovih« - v vasi Cirkuše, župnija Zgornji Tuhinj, okraj Kamnik, Slovenija. Po izven v domačem kraju opravljeni ljudski šoli, je Vid nato 1. 1890 z odliko maturiral na klasični gimnaziji v Ljubljani, in sicer kot gojenec zelo znanega tedanjega ljubljanskega škofijskega dijaškega vzgojnega zavoda Alojzijevima. V tem zavodu je ostal še Po maturi in se tam pripravljal za jesenski vstop v ljubljansko
semenišče.
Stefan Furdek, po rodu Slovak, župnik na češki župniji Marije Lurške na Broadway in E- 55. cesti, je v istih počitni-cah prišel v Ljubljano in odpeljal abiturienta Vida s seboj v Cleveland, Ohio.
V tistim času se je bilo v Clevelandu nekaj zgodilo, kar je s Časom postalo za Slovence v tein mestu in sploh v Ohiu Posebnega pomena. Takrat je namreč bilo v Clevelandu že ^nr precej Slovencev kakor |udi Hrvatov. Po naročilu takratnega clevelandskega škofa Richarda Gilmoura, po rodu *rca, se je župnik Furdek v ^Ukih počitnicah podal v stari _zaj, da tam - po škofovi že-
lji -
poišče odnosno pridobi
duhovnika Slovenca, če pa že

Abiturient Vid Hribar pride v Ameriko
Po enem mojem viru je prišel Hribar v Cleveland 5. septembra, po drugem po 8. septembra 1890. Škof ga je takoj poslal v St. Mary’s semenišče, ki je bilo takrat na Lakeside, kjer je Hribar ostal tri leta. Po opravljenem bogoslovnem študiju je bil Vid 29. julija 1893, in sicer kot edini, in to v škofijski kapeli, ob navzočnosti svojega očeta in enega izmed svojih bratov po (3.) clevelandskem škofu Ignaciju F. Horstmannu posvečen v mašnika. (Tu naj pojasnim, da je bil Vid svoje slovensko ime polatinil v Vitus že v svojih ameriških bogoslovskih letih. Po njegovi novi maši pa so ga njegovi ožji domači jeli imenovati »Matežetov gospod«).
Naslednji dan po mašniškem posvečenju je novomašnik Vitus opravil svojo slovesno novo mašo v češki cerkvi Marije Lurške na E. 55. cesti, v cerkvi namreč, v kateri je bil župnik Štefan Furdek.
Takoj po sv. maši v češki cerkvi je bil Vitus Hribar postavljen (»as pastor and founder«) za župnika bodoče slovenske župnije, katere pa še nikjer ni bilo, ampak jo je bilo treba šele organizirati. Od škofa je Vitus prejel naročilo, naj vse Slovence v Clevelandu in njegovi okolici organizira v župnijo, in to na kraju, kjer bi bilo za ta namen najbolj primerno.
Prva slovenska služba božja v Clevelandu
Prvo lastno slovensko službo božjo so imeli clevelandski Slovenci 6. avgusta 1893, in sicer v šolski kapeli župnije sv. Petra na Superior Ave. in E. 17. cesti. Za to cerkev so se bili odločili, ker jim je bila najbolj priročna, najbližja. V zvezi s tem naj že tu omenim to, da so se prvi Slovenci v Clevelandu naselili na St. Clairju med 33. in 36. cesto. (Op. ur. AD: To velja za senklersko naselbino, vendar so živeli prvi Slovenci v Clevelandu v takratnem Nev-burgu.) Župnik pri Sv. Petru je bil v tistem času Rev. Westerhold, Nemec, ki pa je bil Slovencem naklonjen.
Vitus Hribar je takrat stanoval v bližini semenišča na Hamilton Ave. Tu sta si z bra-

Svet za prvo slovensko cerkev kupljen
Zemljišče za prvo slovensko cerkev v Clevelandu je bilo kupljeno 29. junija 1894, se pravi, letos pred 90 leti. Kupili so velik prostor med Norwood in Glass Ave. Veljalo je $6.000. Ves ta svet je bil tiste čase še »farma«. Našli so se pa takrat med našimi ljudmi nekateri, ki so govorili, da je Hribar moral znoreti, da je kupil toliko zemlje. Čemu mu vendar bo! Kaj bo storil z njo! so godrnjali.
Hribar se je v tem primeru ravnal po Furdekovem nasvetu. Ta mu je namreč svetoval, naj si Slovenci postavijo cerkev nekje, kjer bodo imeli pozneje priložnost strnjeno naseliti se okoli nje.
Nasprotno pa se je našlo spet veliko takratnih Hribarjevih župljanov, ki so bili za to, naj bi stala nova slovenska cerkev ob E. 30. cesti, to je, blizu mestnega središča, kjer pa je bilo takrat že vse močno zazidano.
Danes vemo, da je bil Fur-dekov nasvet odnosna Hribarjeva odločitev daljnevidna. Ravno zategadelj, ker je bil kupljen tak zaključen prazen zemljiški kompleks, je bilo mogoče, da se je na njem kasneje razvila strnjena slovenska župnija, ki je predstavljala in delno še danes predstavlja najbolj strnjeno slovensko naselbino v Clevelandu. Zdi se mi, da je prav, da imamo to pred očmi, ko pregledujemo svojo clevelandsko narodno preteklost!
Graditev nove slovenske cerkve N
Dne 29. junija 1894 so clevelandski Slovenci začeli s postavljanjem svoje cerkve na kupljenem prostoru. Dne 18. oktobra istega leta je škof Horst-mann že blagoslovil vogelj ni kamen za novo cerkev. Cerkev je bila postavljena v rekordno hitrem času. Dne 4. novembra 1894 je bila že po msgr. Bofu slovesno blagoslovljena. On je bil tudi tisti, ki je v njej opravil prvo sveto daritev.
Želja župljanov je bila, naj bi bila nova cerkev posvečena Materi božji. Zaradi počastitve svojega župnika pa so se rojaki končno odločili, naj bo posvečena sv. Vidu, to je župnikovemu patronu.
Slovenska župnija je ob svoji ustanovitvi imela 65 slovenskih in hrvaških družin.,Prvi cerkveni svetovalci so bili Janez Novak, Franc Pucelj, Andrej Zakrajšek in Mihael Skebe. ■*
Gospodarska depresija
Zaradi izredne požrtvovalnosti prvih vidovskih župljanov bodi tu omenjeno še to, da se so ravno tisto leto, ko je bila ustanovljena župnija pri Sv. Vidu, začeli v Ameriki spet hudi časi. Vse je bilo preplašeno. Anonimni zgodovinopisec župnije sv. Vida (Rajnki dr. France Kem je sodil, da je to bil p. Kazimir Zakrajšek) piše
v Koledarju AM za 1908, da se je takrat vsak, ki je imel dovolj denarja, podal nazaj v stari kraj. Nekateri pa so se začeli izseljevati. Nekateri pa so stradali. Bogu pa velika hvala, da je ta kriza trajala samo kratek čas.
Postavitev župnišča
Ne dolgo po vsem zgoraj omenjenem oz. po tistem, ko je bila zgrajena slovenska clevelandska slovenska cerkev, je zraslo zraven nje na južni strani še župnišče, na severni strani pa dvonadstropno šolsko poslopje. Zgradbe so bile vse lesene, vendar pa dovolj trdne. Dodatno še to: Na novi šoli se je seveda tudi polno poučevala slovenščina.
Župnik Vid Hribar je mislil tudi na Hrvate v Clevelandu. Na njegovo pobudo so si končno tudi clevelandski Hrvatje leta 1902 ustanovili lastno župnijo sv. Pavla na St. Clairju in E. 40. cesti.
Župnik Hribar je moral skrbeti tudi za druge Slovence, ki so že živeli in se tudi stalno naseljevali v Nevburg ter v druge naselbine daleč od St. Clairja: v Collinwoodu, Nottinghamu, tudi v Barbertonu in daleč drugod, celo v Penn-
silvaniji. Sv. Vid je postal tako rekoč svojevrstna slovensko ameriška misijonska postojanka z obširnim okoljem.
Toliko za današnjo priložnost o zgodovini nastanka sv. Vida in o začetnem razvoju te župnije. Moja želja je, naj bi bralci teh vrstic še bolj spoznali našo slovensko ameriško preteklost ter da bi se še bolj povezali s sv. Vidom in s slovenstvom sploh. Praznovanje dveh tako lepih jubilejev (90-letnica sv. Vida in 50-letni-ca DNU pri Sv. Vidu), kot jih imamo letos, tudi k temu pomaga.
Janez Sever
(Urednik: Pri obravnavanju začetka župnije sv. Vida je po mojem mnenju treba poudariti predvsem, da je to te slovenske fare prišlo po izrecni želji slovenskih naseljencev, ki so prosili na škofiji in preko Rev. Furdeka za slovenskega duhovnika in končno tudi za lastno cerkev. To je omogočilo vse ostalo. Tudi tega ne bi smeli pozabiti.)

Baragov kip ukraden
Cleveland, Ohio — Clevelandski dnevnik “The Plain Dealer” je pred nekaj dnevi poročal o sramotnem stanju Kulturnega vrta v Clevelandu, ki je bil pred leti ponos mesta. Vse narodnosti na področju Clevelanda imajo v Kulturnem vrtu svoj prostor, ki so ga skrbno negovale. Umetniški kipi in plošče so predstavljale kulturni doprinos posameznih narodov. Bilo je res užitek ob nedeljah popoldne se sprehajati po lepo urejenih stezicah med posameznimi narodnimi predeli parka. Sedai se na že nekaj let nikdo ne upa več pogledati v ta svojčas “Kulturni vrt”.
Sinoči smo pa prejeli sporočilo, da je iz slovenskega dela parka izginil tudi kip našega škofa-misijonarja Friderika Baraga. Ostal je še samo podstavek. Baraga je bil doslej še edini, ki je ostal nepoškodovan. Že pred leti smo govorili, da bi Baragov kip spravili na varno, a nikdo ni hotel prevzeti odgovornosti, da bi dal za to dovoljenje. Sedaj je prepozno - zlikovci so ga odnesli brez dovoljenja.
Pevski zbor Jadran poda jesenski koncert dne 10. novembra

Klerikalizem v Ameriki?
(nadaljevanje z 2. str.)
problem abortusa, ki je po svojem izvoru element zasebne morale in vesti, kot umor živega človeškega bitja pa kriminal podvržen javnemu zakonu, je Supreme Court razglasil (1 973) umetni splav za legalno dejanje, po svobodni izbiri prizadete matere. S temi in podobnimi ukrepi je Supreme Court porinil dotlej nepolitična vprašanja v popolnoma politično provinco in s tem podnetil pravo neurje. Politične oblasti so morale do teh problemov zavzeti svoje stališče, a zavzele so ga tudi razne cerkvene in verske skupine, ki so svojo »politično« aktivnost razširile še na druga etična in moralna področja. Baptistovski protestanti so ustanovili že konec 70. let tako imenovano fundamentalistično gibanje (Moral Majority), ki se je odločno uprlo abortusu, ukinitvi molitve v šoli, specialnim pravicam homoseksualnosti itd. in pri tem stopilo na izrazito politično polje v podporo predsedniku Reaganu, ki dosledno zastopa ista načela.
Ni še pozabljeno mnogo osporavano pastirsko pismo ameriških katoliških škofov, s katerim so stopili pod firmo moralnih načel glede jedrskega oboroževanja in atomske vojne na bistveno politično področje. In tako sedaj gledamo, kako se verska načela in religiozne vrednote skoraj neomejeno mešajo s čisto političnimi, celo strankarskimi problemi. Kako se zlasti v sedanji predsedniški kampanji zlorabljajo v strankarske namene.
Tak razvoj je v demokratični družbeni ureditvi normalen in skoraj nujen, ko je bil enkrat sprožen in vržen v politično areno. Drsenje ameriške družbe iz naroda »Under God« v skoraj popolno ateizacijo je bilo po naravnem redu o dvojni substanci človekove osebnosti v določenem času ustaviti. Kaže, da tak čas prav sedaj doživljamo. Vremena se bodo spet zjasnila, ko bosta Bog in njegova postava spet postavljena na svoje mesto. To ni nikak pojav kakršnega koli »klerikalizma«, ampak le vzorna manifestacija ljudske svobode, v kateri se temeljni problemi življenja rešujejo po ljudski volji.
Ko bi le bilo drugod po svetu tako!

We strolled through the beautiful well-kept grounds to the cemetery to pay our respects to the deceased Franciscan Monks and especially to the resting place of Saintly Bishop Gregory Rožman where special prayers were said. We then went back to the church where numerous
candles were lit and Mass stipends were taken by Brother Robert Hochevar.
We then freshened up at our Quality Inn motel and attended Mass at St. Paul’s Church. That was followed by a candlelight procession to St. Stephen’s.
Attendance at the Sunday Mass completely filled the church. The choir, directed by Rev. Vendelin Spendov was outstanding as was the St. Stephen’s children’s chorus.
The banquet following Mass was a complete sellout. Entertainment was provided by Corinne Leskovar’s Slovenian Radio Club Dancers and young instrumentalists directed by Father Vendelin Spendov. Both were thoroughly enjoyed.
After the meal, reports were given by the National Officers on new memberships and progress towards the Beatification of the Saintly Servant of God, Bishop Frederick Baraga.
Then followed reports of donations to the Baraga cause by chapters from Chicago, Illinois, and Michigan areas. With great pleasure I

T’aint’t Funny, McGee
By James V. Debevec
lvvo of the world’s biggest practical jokes were played recent-j “Ut I don’t think they were very funny, never did like practical jokes, even on a small scale. I always eI sorry for the person or persons on which they are played. If n'eone suggests putting stones in the hubcaps of a newly mar-couple, I always decline. I figure it’s tough enough to begin , Patrimonial venture without adding complications or em-rassing moments to the occasion. Just preparing for the wed-8 day is more than enough strain on anyone. nce 1 attended a wedding where the groom’s “friends” kid-r pPed the bride and drove around town for an hour while the ePtion was going on without them.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, OCTOBER 5, 1984
By Madeline Debevec
Memo from Madeline
Busy Weekend Brings Out Best
It was another busy weekend for our readers in the Greater Cleveland area.
On Friday night, KSKJ Christ the King Lodge Athletic Club sponsored a reverse fund-raiser at the Slovenian National Home.
The annual dinner is under the direction of Ray Zak, National Athletic Director of KSKJ. Frank Sega, the congenial secretary of the lodge, mingled with guests throughout the evening
Rose Poprik told me how pleased she was to finally meet her lodge secretary after transferring to the Cl’eveland group from a Pennsylvania lodge, to which she belonged ever since she and her husband George were married.
Rose said she recently has had several verbal and written contacts with her lodge secretary and told us how Mr. Sega handled all the matters in an efficient and friendly manner. His kind acts certainly exemplify the true spirit of fraternalism.
By the way, Rose was in a serious automobile accident last month, but we are happy to see her in such good spirits, even with the cane she still uses. We’re sure all her friends join us in wishing her a speedy recovery.
And congratulations to Joe Hočevar, a KSKJ national officer who returned home from
the fund-raiser as a very happy winner.
On behalf of the Holy Family Cancer Home Guild, a million thanks to all our dear readers who attended the luncheon card party at noon last Saturday at Higbee’s downtown auditorium. More than 425 persons attended, and it was a happy feeling to spend the day with many of our readers and friends.
Antoinette (Antončič) McGrath deserves a special salute for selling more,than 50 tickets for this needy cause.
The wonderful Sisters of the Home are to be commended for their marvelous charity work.
That same evening, services were held at Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine in Euclid, where KSKJ began its 90th anniversary tribute. About 300 persons attended, including many of our subscribers. KSKJ members from Barberton even chartered a bus for the evening.
I was pleasantly surprised to see many of the same ladies from the card party at the shrine, and again they spent most of Sunday with us at St. Vitus, where the 90th anniversary fest continued.
Bishop Edward Pevec was the principal celebrant at a Mass, with many other priests officiating. Afterwards, a banquet was held at St. Vitus
Auditorium.
Festivities were planned by the Ohio Federation of KSKJ under the dynamic leadership of federation president Joseph S. Baškovič, who also served as toastmaster. Felicitations to the entire committee for a job well done!
As always, Sen. Frank Lauschc, our great orator, gave an invigorating speech. Greetings were presented by several dignitaries, including Mayor George Voinovich, who was represented by Dr. Karl Bonutti.
Dr. Bonutti credited three institutions with aiding refugees during the 1950s — St. Vitus Church, Ameriška Domovina and Mr. James Debevec, and Amerikanski Slovenec (KSKJ). He thanked all three for their assistance.
As usual, it always is a special honor to me when AD subscribers come up to me and introduce themselves. It was a distinct pleasure to meet the friendly folks from Barberton and Lorain, and I told them how we all sure would enjoy reading about more of their events in our paper.
It’s always gratifying to see our dear Slovenians supporting all these wonderful and worthwhile causes. 1 constantly hear remarks about how important it is for our Slovenians to visit fellow Slovenes, be it in church, fraternal, cultural or
Papal Observers
Mike and Anna Spisich (above) of Cleveland recently visited Canada for a week and were excited about seeing Pope John Paul II and
visiting Mrs. Spisich’s sister, Katerina Chemas, in Toronto. The Spisichs snapped the below photo of the Pope when he passed before them in p glass-enclosed truck.

civic endeavors. That’s why we’re so proud to be part of the many events we attend with all of you.
Jim and I are equally proud of carrying on the Slovenian tradition of hard work and trying to pass it on to all generations, as our forefathers so desired. You all are certainly an integral element of the community.
We all were reminded of that fact when our busy weekend of activity concluded Monday night with members of the American Slovene Club.
We heard John Kovacic speak of the early history of Slovenians in the St. Clair area. To summarize his impressive lecture in 1 sentence: “Hard work is the key to success with all Slovenians. ”
John mentioned that today our Slovenian culture is being perpetuated and kept alive through the churches, the American Home, the Slovenian Homes and the frater-nals.

Slovenian Nuns Celebrate 75th Anniversary in U.S.
A small community of Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King of Lemont, 111., also known as “Slovenske Šolske Sestre,” teach at St. Christine School in Euclid. Over the years, the good Sisters of this order have served God in Slovenian communities here and throughout the Midwest. The Sisters first came to St. Christine in August, 1928.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the order in the United States and the Sisters planned a unique celebration to commemorate the occasion. Last Tuesday, pupils at St. Christine released special helium-filled balloons, following a prayer service. Many parents and well-wishers also were on hand to witness the balloon launch.
Sisters Ann Kathryn, Helen, Raphael, Stella and Regina Marie (school principal) are curr.ntlv assigned to St. Christine. Our heartiest congratulations to them and all the Sisters of this Order
throughout the U.S.!

had launched a satellite.
Zelle, who can understand 11 languages, tuned his radio in to Radio Moscow and was interested in what they had to say. He recalls, “The Moscow broadcast said the satellite’s radio sending frequency was 20.005 megacycles. So I parked on the frequency.”
He said, “At first all I got was a muffled sound, very hollow and indistinct. Finally, at about midnight, it came in very nicely.”
He tape recorded the sound from his radio receiver at home on Addison Rd. and rushed the tape to WERE radio station where he worked as an engineer. Disk Jockey Carl Reese rebroadcast the sound by 12:35 a.m. for all Clevelanders to hear.
The satellite was later called Sputnik I.

Vandals Strip Yugoslav Cultural Gardens Bare
Apparently vandals were at work once again in the Yugoslav Cultural Gardens, just south of St. Clair along East Boulevard.
The bust of Bishop Baraga, cast in bronze, is missing from its customary pedestal in the garden. Now all of the monuments in the Yugoslav section have been stripped.
Monuments to the Serbian Bishop Njegosh, the Slovenian poet Simon Gregorčič, and famed prose writer Ivan Cankar, as well as our own beloved Ivan Zorman have been broken, disfigured or the metal parts stolen. The latest disgraceful outrage is a sign of the barbaric times in which we are living.
According to Anthony Urbas, who had spoken to Gene Drobnič who is directly involved with the cultural gardens, the bust of Baraga was still in place a couple of weeks ago when special observation of Captive Nations was held.
Mr. Joseph Melaher, who has
been involved for some time with a group to remove the bust to the rectory garden of St. Vitus Church on Glass Avenue before the bust was stolen, was notified of the sad event.
