PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV
Jesse Jackson in Lt. Robert L. Goodman povabljena v Belo hišo — Reagan hvalil Jacksonov uspeh v Siriji WASHINGTON, D.C. — Preteklo sredo sta se vrnila v ZDA demokratski predsedniški kandidat Jesse Jackson in poročnik Robert L. Goodman, pilot ameriških mornariških sil, ki so ga bili v torek izpustili Sirijci. Predsednik Ronald Reagan, ki je bil prej zelo hladen do Jacksonovega vmešavanja v to zadevo, je povabil Jacksona in Goodmana na srečanje v Belo hišo. Reagan je Čestital Jacksonu za nepričakovan uspeh in pojasnil, da ni hotel pred obiskom osebno govoriti z njim v strahu, da bi Sirijci to razumeli napačno. Jackson se je v krajšem nagovoru zahvalil Reaganu, ker predsednik ni aktivno nasprotoval obisku v Sirijo ali ga oviral, kar bi bil lahko storil.
Novinarji so vprašali Reagana, ali je sedaj pripravljen na sestanek tudi s sirijskim predsednikom Hafezom Assadom in je Reagan takoj odgovoril: »Seveda«. Opazovalci sirijskih in srednjevzhodnih razmer menijo, da se Assad zanima za boljše odnose z ZDA. V zadnjih dneh sirijske protiletalske enote namreč niso streljale na ameriška izvi-dniška letala, ki so letela nad Libanonom ter fotografirala sirijske položaje. Na svoji strani, želijo ZDA izboljšati odnose s Sirijci, ker so v Beli hiši in State Departmentu prepričani, da je Sirija ključ do izvedljivega sporazuma, ki bi prinesel mir Libanonu. Med težavami, s katerimi je treba soočati, je pa globoko nezaupanje Izraela do Sirije ter znana sirijska želja, priključiti večji del Libanona Siriji. Danes sta kar dve tretjini Libanonskega ozemlja pod sirijsko ali izraelsko zasedbo.

Proračunski osnutek za fiskalno leto 1985 bo zopet zahteval manj izdatkov za programe socialnega skrbstva
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Predsednik Reagan in njegovi svetovalci pripravljajo zvezni proračun za fiskalno leto 1985, ki ga bo Reagan že ta mesec predložil Kongresu. Kot kaže, bo Reagan tudi letos predlagal ntanj izdatkov za razne programe socialne podpore. Podrobnosti Reaganovega načrta niso znane, vendar dobro poučeni viri pravijo, da bo predsednik predlagal, naj upokojenci več prispevajo v Medicaid programe oz. naj nosijo večjo finančno breme. Prizadet bo tudi Medicare program.
Reagan je predlagal isto tudi lani, vendar zvezni kongres več njegovih predlogov ni upošteval oz. jih je zavrnil. Ker bodo letos volitve, menijo opazovalci razmer na kapi-tolskem hribu, bodo kongresniki najbrž tudi letos odklonili Reaganove predloge na področju socialne podpore. Mnogi republikanski kongresniki se že distancirajo od napovedanega proračunskega osnutka.
Tako republikanci kot demokrati so v skrbeh radi vedno večjega primanjkljaja v zveznem proračunu. Gospodarstveniki soglašajo, da bodo imeli primanjkljaji neugodne posledice v naslednjih letih ter začeli Pospeševati inflacijo.
Kissingerjeva komisija o srednji Ameriki bo kmalu poročala Reaganu — Predlagala bo veliko več gospodarske pomoči WASHINGTON, D.C. — Lani je predsednik Ronald Reagan imenoval posebno komisijo, ki jo vodi Henry Kissinger, in ji dal nalogo, naj proučuje ameriško politiko do srednje Amerike in potem pripravi poro-
čilo. Ko je bila komisija ustanovljena, je Kissinger dejal, da bo poročilo izročeno Reaganu januarja letos. Kot kaže, bo Reagan prejel poročilo prihodnji torek.
V komisiji je 12 članov, ki so pa sprti glede vsebine poročila. V teku so pogajanja med njimi z namenom, da bi lahko našli kompromis. Kot kaže, bo komisija predlagala, naj ZDA namenjajo milijardo dolarjev gospodarske pomoči letno državam srednje Amerike za naslednjih 10 do 15 let. V tekočem fiskalnem letu bodo ZDA poslale pomoč v skupni vrednosti le 452 milijonov dolarjev. Torej bo komisija predlagala dvakrat'več pomoči.
Odvisno bo od Reagana, ako bo soglašal z nasveti Kisšingerjeve komisije. Ako bi pa predsednik predlagal več pomoči srednji Ameriki, bi moral soglašati tudi zvezni kongres.
Izgredi v Tuniziji — Vojaki streljali na poulične demonstrante
TUNIS, Tu. — Ta teden je prišlo do obsežnih pouličnih izgredov v Tunisu in drugih mestih Tunizije. Izgredniki so baje nezadovoljni z gospodarskimi razmerami v državi. Tunizijska vlada je poslala vojaške enote v mesta in vojaki so tudi začeli streljati. Po neuradnih virih, je bilo ubitih v zadnjem tednu 57 oseb, veliko več pa ranjenih.
Danes bo govoril svojemu ljudstvu tunizijski predsednik Habib Bourguiba, ki je v resnici samodržec, saj je bil izvoljena za predsednika Tunizije do svoje smrti, tako kot sedaj pok. jugoslovanski diktator Josip Broz Tito.
V	primerjavi z mnogimi drugimi državami na Srednjem vzhodu, je imela Tunizija zadnja leta dokaj stabilno vlado. Zaenkrat ni nobena nevarnost, da bi bil predsednik Bourguiba odstranjen, ameriško poslaništvo pa svetuje državljanom ZDA, naj ne potujejo v južne predele Tunizije.
Izraelska letala ponovno bombardirala
oporišča šiitskih čet v vzhodnem
Libanonu — več kot 100 ubitih
BEJRUT, Libanon — V zadnjih dneh so izraelska letala ponovna bombardirala oporišča raznih šiitskih čet. Napadeni kraji so v vzhodnem delu Libanonu, v okolici mesta Baalbeka. Na teh oporiščih, ki so zaščiteni od Sirijcev, menijo Izraelci, so vežbani skrajneži, ki potem napadajo izraelske vojake v južnem delu Libanona, izvršujejo tudi atentate v Bejrutu. Poročila govorijo o več kot 100 ubitih in 400 ranjenih, med njimi naj bi bilo veliko civilistov. Izraelci zagovarjajo napade kot upravičeno maščevanje za napade šiitskih teroristov na Izraelske vojake in zatrjujejo, da bodo zopet napadli, ako bodo teroristi nadaljevali s svojimi akcijami.
V	Bejrutu trdijo nekateri sicer neimenovani funkcionarji libanonske vlade, da sta se Izrael in Sirija sporazumela o načrtu, po katerem bi bili postavljeni demarkacijski pasovi med oboroženimi libanonskimi etničnimi in verskimi skupinami. Ako bi bile skupine fizično odrezane druga od druge, bi ne moglo priti do vojskovanja med njimi. Vsaj tako predvideva načrt, ki bi ga naj ločeno odobrila Izrael in Sirija. Nek polkovnik libanonske vojske naj bi bil posredovalec v zadevi, ker Izrael in Sirija nista pripravljena na neposredne stike.
Tudi ta teden je pa prišlo do več manjših spopadov med raznimi skupinami ter nekaj atentatov v Bejrutu in drugje v Libanonu.

Le vkup
Pod tem naslovom je bil dne 1 5. julija 1983 objavljen na tem mestu uvodnik, v katerem se razpravlja o povezovanju kulturnih delavcev za ohranjevanje in rast slovenskih kulturnih vrednot med emigranti. Klic »Le vkup« je zavpil iz tujine prvi slovenski literat Primož Trubar, z istim klicem so zbirali množice voditelji kmečkega upora zoper tuje zatiralce slovenskega ljudstva. Ima torej močno zgodovinsko ozadje, uporabljen pa je bil na tem mestu v zvezi z reševanjem krize Ameriške Domovine, ki jo ta pisec še vedno ima za osrednjo in vodilno kulturno in narodno glasnico slovenskega zdomstva.
V reviji Slovenske kulturne Akcije Meddobje (XIX, 1 983, 1 /2) je objavil občasni sotrudnik AD vseučiliški pro-fesdr v Seattlju, Wash. dr. Jože Velikonja, Spomenico, naslovljeno na SKA. Zgovorno obravnava isto vprašanje povezovanja slovenskih kulturnikov na mnogo širši gladini, zajemajoč celotno naše izseljenstvo, vključno zamejske Slovence, ki prav tako kot izseljenci užjvajo popolno svobodo kulturnega in narodnega uveljavljanja. S kritičnim očesom analizira Velikonja sedanjo razbitost kulturnih prizadevanj na razne skupine in skupinice, ki ostajajo fragmentarne, ker ni živih stikov z drugimi organizmi kulturne usmerjenosti. Glasno poziva SKA kot osrednjo, edino na široko zasnovano gibalno silo, naj se izmota iz provincializma in zajame na široko. In stavi predloge, kako bi se zaprtost odpravljala. Spomenica je visoko vreden poziv celotnemu izseljenstvu in zamejstvu, kaj je treba napraviti v smislu klica »Le vkup«, da bi se v zadnjem hipu še rešilo, kar se rešiti da na polju svobodne slovenske kulture, ki danes edino še živi izven meja Slovenije.
»Celotna slovenska zdomska inteligenčna skupnost«, razmotriva Velikonja, »je maloštevilna in postaja številčno vedno šibkejša tudi zato, ker se nam...ni posrečilo pridobiti tisoče izobražencev, ki živijo izven administrativnih meja republike Slovenije, razen nekaj redkih izjem.« Nato ugotavlja, da je maloštevilna skupnost v SKA (cca. 100 ustvarjalnih članov in 200 naročnikov), vse, kar imamo, in bi bilo dvakrat ali trikrat večje število še vedno majhno. Medsebojna povezanost in podpora zdomskih kulturnikov pa bi utegnila spremeniti dosedanjo razdrobljeno težo.
Ko govori o kulturnih centrih v Ameriki, ki jih je najlaže označiti po njihovih tiskih, se Velikonja pomudi pri Ameriški Domovini in jo na kratko kritično oceni.
»Naj bomo z njo zadovoljni ali ne,« piše, n Ameriška Domovina je edini glas, ki seže preko izbrane soseščine. Še vedno izhaja dvakrat na tederi v nekaj več kot 2000 izvodih. Nekateri izobraženci jo imajo za preveč primitivno in je zato ne naročajo in ne berejo. Pred nedavnim je list spremenil obliko in skrčil vsebino in prav zdaj še ni jasno, kakšen bo list v bodoče. Z listom je povezana tiskarna. List in tiskarna sta v privatnih rokah... Petkova številka je pol angleška. List je na razpotju. Gre lahko v dve smeri: ali bo postal krajevno glasilo St. Clairske soseske — takih listov je v Združenih državah na tisoče — s poročili o razprodajah in sejmih, društvenih prireditvah in pevskih nastopih, novo-poročencih in diplomirancih. List je vedno bolj angleški, ker je tudi soseščina vedno bolj angleška. V to smer menda meri listov lastnik. Obstaja še druga možnost, da bi list bil glas zdomskih Slovencev. V današnji obliki je za to preu-
Pozno — vendar čestitamo!
WILMETTE, 111. - V letu 1983 sta na tiho slavila v krogu svoje družine zlato obletnico lepega zakonskega življenja naša nadvse pridna narodna delavca g. in ga. Anton Gaber. Poznana sta daleč naokrog in sta nam mnogim za vzgled. Živita ves čas v okolici sv. Štefana in sta pri vsaki dobri stvari kos. Mnoge nas je zabolelo, ko smo slišali, da je šla njihova zlata obletnica neopaženo mimo nas.
Župnik Vinko Zaletel žrtev nesreče, ki ga je oslepila
CLEVELAND, O. - Fr. John Lavrih, župnik v Fowlerju, Kansas, je uredniku A.D. poslal vest o nesreči, v kateri je izgubil vid č.g. Vinko Zaletel, župnik v Vogerčah na Koroškem, ki je znan Slovencem po vsej Ameriki. O nesreči je Fr. Lavriha obvestil g. Nande Babnik:
»Sporočam tole žalostno vest: Vinko Zaletel je imel, kakor veš, samo eno oko, na katerega je v majhnem kotu zelo malo videl. Drugo oko je bilo nekoliko boljše. Ko je pred nekaj tedni montiral zimska kolesa na svoj avto, je tako nesrečno zadel na neko konico v oko, ki je bilo še kolikor toliko dobro, da je popolnoma oslepel na to oko.
Obiskal sem ga pred kratkim. Junaško vse prenaša in ne toži. Včeraj sem pa zvedel, ga gre jutri (20. decembra) na operacijo. Ker so živci za očesom raztrgani, mu bodo oko vzeli ven in vložili steklenega. Ubogi Vinko. Ravno pred nesrečo je še bil v Argentini in Braziliji, kakor za slovo.«
Fr. Lavrih doda: »To je sporočilo od g. Babnika. Vem, da bi veliko ameriških Slovencev radi pisali č.g. Zaletelu kakšno pismo ali se ga kako drugače spomnili «.
Urednik
Omenjena sta vzgojila pridno družino 5 otrok. Vsi, ne samo otroci, ampak tudi vnuki, radi pomagajo pri vsaki dobri stvari. Povsod so priljubljeni in cenjeni. Večina jih spada tudi h KSKJ.
Anton in Ana Gaber zaslužita, da jima prisrčno čestitamo k zlati poroki kljub temu, da so čestitki pozni. Še sta zelo mlada in delavna. Samo pomislimo, kaj bi delal Misijonski odsek MZA, Slomškov krožek, Baragova zveza, in marsikatera druga organizacija tu v Chicagu, ako bi ne bila zraven Gaberjeva. Ne samo, da vedno razprodajata največ vstopnic, tudi finančno podpirata vse te organizacije na debelo.
Zato, dragi Tone in Ančka, naše tople želje in molitve naj Vaju spremljajo na vsej Vaši nadaljnji življenjski poti. Gospod naj Vaju blagoslavlja še nadalje z zdravjem in družinskem mirom ter z navdušenjem za dobra dela! Vemo, kako močno se zavedata, da nam bo za vedno ostalo samo to, kar žrtvujemo za druge. Gospod, v katerega brezpogojno zaupata, naj Vama pomaga s svojo Očetovsko roko preko vseh težav v življenju, kakor doslej! Ko pa bo ugasnila luč vajinega življenja, naj Vama bo Marija Mati, Angelci pa Vajini brati. Bog Vaju živi in še na dolga leta.

Zanimiva razstava sodobnih umetnin
CLEVELAND, O. - Dva clevelandska akademska umetnika razstavljava do 28. januarja v B. K. Smith galeriji na Lake Erie College v Paines-villu, Ohio. Kesty Kiževičius, Litvanec, in jaz, Bernard La-vriša, slovenski rojak, sva oba v kulturnem oziru iz »dveh svetov«. Vzgojena sva bila v domu, kjer je imela velik vpliv evropska kultura — slovenska
smeritev malo izgledov. Slovenski del lista sloni na samem uredniku, zato so dopisi in prispevki zanj nujno gradivo. Zunanji dopisniki bi mogli razširiti obzorje lista, bolj uspešen poseg bi seveda bili zunanji naročniki, za katere je list danes vedno manj vabljiv.«
Takšna je nepristranska ocena našega lista od strani kompetentne, neprizadete kulturne osebnosti, ki se ne pomišlja svojega mnenja javno izpovedati. Posebej velja podčrtati najbolj važno točko njegovega opisa, namreč možnost dvojne smeri, pred katero se danes list nahaja. Znaki kažejo, da je AD na poti v krajevni listič St. Clairske soseske, ki ga malo zanimajo splošni slovenski problemi in problemi zdomcev izven območja domače soseske, še manj tekoči svetovni problemi. Velikonja misli, da bi naj bila AD glasilo zdomskih Slovencev na široko. Takoj pa pristavi, da slovenski del lista sloni zgolj na uredniku samem, ki nujno potrebuje dopisov in prispevkov od zunaj.
Tu pa pride do veljave naš klic: Le vkup! Če naj se AD usmeri v vlogo, da postane glas zdomskih Slovencev na široko, kar je svoj čas kot dnevnik že bila, potem je njenemu uredništvu potrebno sodelovanje izseljenske in zamejske javnosti, da list postane bolj aktualen, zanimiv in privlačen. Ali je kaj takega mogoče uresničiti? V imenovanem uvodniku, ki je izšel pred meseci na tem mestu, je zapisano: Ali mi sodobniki res nismo zmožni drugega kot kar naprej buljiti v televizor? Mi vsi bi morali spoštljivo in ponižno sneti klobuk z glave pred (svoječasnim) Tonetom s hriba, Regerčanom, Jakom (Debevcem) in njihovimi sovrstniki in se vprašati: Kje smo pa mi? Ali je samo v njih gorel ogenj ljubezni do slovenske besede?
Profesor Velikonja nam spet obuja vest.
L. P.
oz. litvanska —, druga kulturna raven pa nama je bila podana tekom 20-letnega obiskovanja raznih šol v Ameriki. Radi tega sva dobila dokaj oster vpogled v različne vrednostne sisteme.
Kesty Kiževičius razstavlja grafiko (linorez, lesorez, jedkanica), slike in mešane konstrukcije.
Moja dela so različna, od konstrukcije do slike v simbolični obliki. Uporabljam znamenje in simbol, da obudim ali izzivam odgovor.
Široka pestrost umetnine od varjene polikromirane železne konstrukcije do nazorno poudarjene grafike obljublja spodbujanje in zanimanje gledalca.
Otvoritev razstave bo nocoj, v petek, od 7. do 10. in sicer v sami galeriji. Prijatelji umetnine so vabljeni na otvoritveni slovesnost, prav tako so vabljeni, da si razstavo ogledajo do 28. januarja.

za vzdrževanje domačih bogoslovcev v misijonih lepo napreduje in ima vedno več dobrotnikov. Tile so obnovili vzdrževalnine za ene leto, ki znese sedaj 250 ameriških dolarjev: družina Jože in Tončka Kastelic, Toronto, kanadskih $350; Catholic Womens’ League, Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, Scarborough, Ont., $350; Mrs. Veronica Kolenko, Toronto, Ont., $325.
Družina Matthew Grdadolnik, Euclid, O., $220; družina Martin in Terezija Vraničar, Stockton, Kalif., $250; Mrs. Theresa Ritcherson, R.N., Odessa, Fla., $130 (za pol leta); Mrs. Francka Merala, Euclid, Ohio, $250 (nova vzdrževalnina).
Kljub temu, da se vsi vadimo v potrpežljivosti, ko pogo-stoma dolgo čakamo na letno pismo od domačih bogoslovcev, je važno, da zaupamo škofom vzdrževanih kandidatov. Po dolgoletnem dogovoru z vsemi škofi, ki jim za vzdrževalnine letno pošiljamo, gre pomoč za kandidata v celoti v roke škofiji, ki poskrbi za vse, kar bogoslovec potrebuje. Če posamezniku za Božič ali ob kaki drugi priliki želi dobrotnik poslati skromni dar, je to vzpodbudno in lepo. Škofje se bojijo razvad in imajo dovolj skušenj, da nas na to opozorijo pravočasno. Vsi v vodstvu ih odsekih MZA morajo to razložiti vsakemu dobrotniku, ki se za vzdrževanje odloči. Ako kak dobrotnik želi poslati denar kandidatu direktno, mimo škofije, mu MZA ne dolguje potrdila za »income tax« in ga ne smemo v takih primerih, če se pojavijo, izdati. Vzdrževa-nec je MZA predložen in priporočen od škofa in on edini je kot voditelj škofije za bogoslovje finančno v celoti odgovoren, da ima kandidat vse, kar potrebuje. Nobeden kandidat se ne vzdržuje sam.
Škofje se upravičeno bojijo, da se bogoslovec razvadi in navadi prosjačiti dobrotnika za
vse mogoče stvari, če enkrat uspe. Dolar povsod precej zaleže. Ko je kandidat v ma-šnika posvečen in želi dobrotnik njemu še naprej pomagati, je v redu, če mu pomoč pošlje direktno, v njegove roke, ker kot duhovnik deluje v spremenjenem položaju, v dušnem pastristvu ali pri vzgoji mladine in ima opraviti z ubogimi, bolniki in podobnim.
GA. ANTONIJA KERN,
mati ge. Mije Ferkuljeve, je umrla in bila pokopana v soboto, 17. decembra, iz cerkve Čudodelne svetinje v Torontu. Prvič smo se srečali na letnih duhovnih vajah za žene v Port Credit, Ontario. Ljubila je misijone. Ni imela veliko, vendar je želela mesečno pomagati slovenskim misijonarjem in je to delala z veliko zvestobo vsa zadnja leta. Čim je imela kak denar, je odločila $12 vsak mesec za naše misijonarje in misijonarke. Redno jih je oddajala MZA sodelavki Miss Julki Zarnikovi, s katero sta bili dolgoletni prijateljici. Obe sta ljubili misijone.
Vedno je želela biti Neimenovana. Tako sem želel na njen pogreb, pa me je zadržala opoldanska farna dnevna sv. maša in dve poročni maši, takoj za njo. Naj ga. Antonija počiva v miru! In njen lep zgled zbudi v dušah žena in dobrih vdov veliko usmiljenja do najbolj ubogih v misijonskih deželah.
RAZPOŠILJANJE POMOČI MZA 1983
se je začelo h koncu novembra. Predsednica ga. Anica Tusharjeva iz Gilberta, Minn., je nabavila za MZA prvih 17 čekov za skupno vsoto $5,950.00. Vsak misijonar in misijonarka dobi letos pismo duhovnega voditelja z božičnimi in novoletnimi voščili, s pripisi glavne tajnice gdč. Sonje Ferjanove, ki zadevajo posameznike in njih potrebe.

Za nove orgle na Rakeku
CLEVELAND, O. - Ker sem v oktobru lanskega leta nabirala za nove orgle za cerkev na Rakeku, bi se rada zahvalila vsem dobrotnikom, ki so priskočili na pomoč.
Najlepša vam hvala, dragi dobrotniki! Srce Jezusovo, kateremu je posvečena ta cerkev, naj vam bogato poplača vašo darežljivost!
Cerkev je bila dograjena in posvečena 1. 1938. Imeli so od takrat do nedavnega le harmonij (piano), a se je pokvaril. Dobila sem prošnjo od Rakov-skega župnika Feliksa Zajca, da bi tukaj nabrala kakšen dolar. Nabrala sem $350. Ker so nekateri darovalci izrazili željo, naj ne objavljam njih imen, ne bom nobenega imenovala v tem članku.
Te dni sem dobila od župnika zahvalno pismo. Pisal je: Tebi in vsem dobrotnikom se za skupen dar prisrčno zahvaljujemo. Ko bodo zapele orgle, se bomo tudi na Vas hvaležno spominjali.
Župnik Feliks Zajc

SLOVENIAN MORNING NEWSPAPER
AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, JANUARY 6, 1984
Power of the Press, A. D. Style
By Commander ERNESt A. RYAVEC
Santa Monica, Calif. — The power of the press has far reaching potential! Due to reading the Ameriška Domovina, I have met a number of good persons, Slovenian immigrants, on my trip to Australia, including the Brezniks and Falei’s.
After the death of my mother at 79 years of age in 1971 in Santa Monica, my father (84 years old) became more and niore retrospective concerning his homeland and memories of his family and his wife born Rozalia Plesničar at Voglarih, Slovenia.
So in 1972 my father, Louis Ryavec, after 63 years in America, my wife, Gaye, and I visited for the first time relatives in Trnovo and ^pglarih (near Nova Gorica), Ljubljana, Austria, and Italy. ®ur good friend Mrs. Augusta Kosich had encouraged me to ^ake the trip.
On this visit we were given addresses of relatives who had emigrated to Australia and to South America. Subsequently, 've communicated with them. My cousin, Frank Volk (his Mother being one of my father’s sisters) from Perth, Western Australia, visited us ln Santa Monica in 1974. Fortunately in October, 1979, my ^'fe and I were able to visit Lrank and his family in Perth •or a few weeks. We also saw lhe great forest and farm land s°uth of Perth - Manjim up, Jerra mung up, and other
Ups” — aboriginal water-holes.
We enjoyed our visit especial-^ meeting the Volk children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
King’s Park and the Swan Jvtver are very much worth see-,n8. There are many vineyards In ^e Middle and Upper Swan ^tablished mainly by Dalma-lan immigrants, whose children are continuing to do Well.
South of Perth, there are ues and miles of beautiful caches — even including a aim Beach, a Malibu cvelopment on the Indian Ucean.
I was fortunate to go aboard e USS Knox, a guided missle Joying ship visiting Bunbury p ahout 100 miles south of crth. Highlights included a s,t to the new Research, t ^ptapment, and Test Facili-P m Perth of the Orbital ngine Company, headed by Jf'Ph Sarich, the inventor of ye orbital engine. Frank • son» John, arranged j/ v's>t with Ralph Sarich. ls 150 lb. engine has powered average sized automobile at
Im5 of over 85 mph- The tl *Ure is very promising for
ls Australian developed ejtgine.
Leaving Perth, we then sited an old friend, Paddy 'vson, and his mother in
Sidney, where we were their guests for a few weeks.
While there I telephoned Rudi Breznik whom I had read of in the Ameriška Domovina. The phone book for Sidney at the Los Angeles Australian Consulate had given me an Alfred Breznik telephone number and address. Due to a three-month Australian mail strike and other delays, my letter of inquiry to Rudi, addressed to him c/o Alfred Breznik (since there was no listing for Rudy) reached him just before I telephoned him after getting Rudi’s number from his brother Fred. While in the Navy I became good friends with a number of radio hams and found them all to be extroverts and delightful persons — as I found Rudi to be.
We were nicely received by Rudi and Elizabeth Breznik and also visited with Fredi and Jenny Breznik who are also in an electronics business complimentary to Rudi’s.
I had the good fortune to attend Mass at St. Raphael’s, a Slovenian church in Mer-ryland near Sidney thanks to Fredi and Jenny Breznik; the pastor is Father Valarian Jenko.
We were fortunate to have had two visits with the Brez-niks and thanks to them enjoyed seeing much of the southwestern area of Sidney. The harbor with its many coves and bays is magnificent as is Sidney’s famous Opera House where we saw Sammy Davis in his record performance, a sold-out house for the first time for a foreign entertainer.
Again, thanks to Fredi; when he learned we were going to Canberra, we visited the Slovenian-Australian Club there. We met Cvetko Falež who led the one hundred or so Slovenian families in Canberra (Australian Capital Territory -ACT) in building the one-half million dollar structure for some $40,000 with donated material and voluntary help. Cvetko is a contractor who has built many houses and other structures in Canberra. Tourist groups going to Australia might wish to have a Slovenian gathering at the Slovenian-Australian Association Hall (Irving St./Philip (ACT) 062-821083) - suggest contacting Cvetko. His excellent klobasa comes from Melbourne, 29 Melrose Drive, Mawson (ACT) 2607.
We were very impressed with the many contributions by Slovenians (even a Slovenian millionaire) to Australian progress. Frank Volk, my cousin, had worked in the bush and in the gold mines in Kalgoorlie. With his savings he and his wife developed one of the first Muscat vineyards for Sultana raisins in Western Australia, near Perth.
The Breznik brothers have
each established strong electronic companies that complement each other. Cvetko Falež is a successful contractor.
Sydney has one of the finest harbors in the world and magnificent beaches. Canberra designed by Chicago architect Burley Griffin, is still in the process of being built. With a populatioin of some 11 million people, Australia cannot afford the kind of building found in European capitals. The cost of material and labor demands utilitarian design. There one can meet a modern day Michaelangelo, Karl Matzek, who at 80 years hopes to complete his magnificent paintings (murals) on the ceiling and walls of the Free Serbian Orthodox Church. He estimates four years will be required. God grant him his wish. ^A statue of Draža Mihailovič is on the church grounds. A while ago some fanatic had bombed the statue and monument which is now repaired. Hopefully this will not happen again - especially not to the church.
We hope that travel groups going to Australia include Canberra (and Perth if time permits - like flying from New York to Los Angeles except you cover practically all desert).
Our last few weeks were in New Zealand where we visited parts of the North Island and the South Island. In November most of New Zealand is so green it almost hurts your eyes especially the farther north you go.
Rotoma and the Maori concert at the Tudor House there and the Miford Sound Fiord boat trip in the South Island highlighted our trip. We missed the 100th year celebration in Auckland by some 50,000 Dalmatians of the first Dalmatian immigrant’s arrival.
We greatly enjoyed our two month trip down under and meeting so many friendly people who engage you in conversation immediately. We hope to visit Australia and New Zealand again since we have seen so little. In the meantime we hope the Volks, Brezniks, Cvetko and family, and other delightful friends there will visit us in Santa Monica.
Oh yes, October and November and March and April are good months to visit New Zealand and Australia. December and January are ideal but this is the period when Kiwis and Aussies are holidaying and reservations are hard to come by. Of course the Northern Territory of Australia can be visited in June - August.
Lastly, we attended the Republic Day Ralley in Sidney City Hall and after the meeting talked with Gough Whitlam, former prime minister. His book, “The Truth of the Matter”, is excellent.
Alice Opalich
75th Birthday Marked With New Years Party
Mrs. Steve (Alice) Opalich of Cape Coral, Florida and Richmond Heights, Ohio celebrated her 75th birthday on New Year’s Eve in the company of her family and friends at an exquisite party given by her children at the home of daughter Patricia and husband John Chiappetta.
Guests arriving at the Richmond Heights home noticed the house and many evergreen trees were decorated with thousands of colored Christmas lights. A uniformed policeman greeted the guests and parked the cars for them. Inside the spacious home three cooks were busy preparing the hors d’oeuvres constantly served between 7 p.m. and 9:30 by two waitresses. A prime beef and chicken cordon "bleu entree was served at 9:30, and a breakfast at 1 a.m. A professional bartender was on hand to dispense any type of drink desired. A polka band performed in the second lower level.
During the evening three
proclamations were read to Alice Opalich. One given by the city of Richmond Heights, another from the State of Ohio, Ron Šuster, State Representative, sponsor, and one from Cleveland Mayor George V. Voinovich designating January 1, 1984 as Alice Opalich Day. The proclamations outlined her many activities such as involvement with the founding of the Slovenian Home on Holmes Ave., her interest in Euclid General Hospital, the American Slovene Club, Ft. Myers Symphony of Women, the Cape Coral Republican Club, and others. The proclamations also noted her devotion to her husband, Steve, councilman, Council President and Mayor of Richmond Heights as well as founder of manufacturing plants in Greater Cleveland and Cape Coral, Fla.
She is the mother of George, Dorothy Bryan, and Patricia Chiappetta, and the grandmother of nine, and greatgrandmother of two.

Memo From Madeline
Beware of Communism
by Madeline Debevec
Greetings!
Here’s wishing all of our readers a blessed, peaceful, healthy and successful 1984!
As one heads into the new year and ponders our world situation, I stop and recall the Town Hall lecture series that Jim and I recently attended.
Among the speakers and topics were Clare Boothe Luce (Foreign Intelligence and the Undercover War), Jack Anderson (The Washington Merry-Go-Round), Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (Positive Thinkers Get Positive Results), Ambassador Richard
T.	Davies (The Polish Crisis,
U.	S. Policy and World Peace). Fred Friendly (The Future Performance of the Press), Admiral Hyman Rickover (Towards a Humanistic Technology), and Bette Bao Lord (Chinese American Relations Sweet and Sour).
As one can see, these are people of significantly different backgrounds and political philosophies who briefly summarizes the same
message loud and clear:
“Beware of Russia!”
Luce said she has documented proof that Russia funnels millions of dollars into so-called phony peace movements. She welcomes people to write her in care of the White House to get more facts and information on this matter.

Slovenia and the Olympic area on March 26. A preview night for the tour will be held Jan. 18 at Kollander’s Building on E. 185th Street.
The Vadnals, meanwhile, will preview their summer tour to Yugoslavia on Saturday, Jan. 14, at Mickey’s Lounge on E. 156th Street.
Johnny Vadnal’s “My Alice Waltz” certainly was a most oustanding release in 1983, based on numerous requests and sales. The Jan. 21 reunion dance of the ’40s, featuring the Vadnals, should be a winner over at the Slovene Workmen’s Home on Waterloo Road.

sion) leads to stroke, heart failure and/or kidney disease. Luckily, it can easily be detected in such screenings.
The blood pressure test is a painless one. Most health professionals recommend having blood pressure checked at least yearly, if not more often.
Nurse Marsha Kuhar and Registared Emergency Medical Technician Tim Snyder will be conducting the tests for Sheliga Drug. Mrs. Kuhar is Director of Nursing at Salvation Army Booth Memorial Hospital in Cleveland. Mr. Snyder is currently pursuing graduate studies in psychology at Cleveland State University, and he is a part-time employee of Sheliga Drug. Mrs. Kuhar’s husband, Bogomir, is staff pharmacist at Sheliga Drug for the past two years. He and owner Joe Sheliga, organized and are supervising the blood pressure clinic. Also cooperating is the Ohio Department of Public Health.
All participants will receive a recorded card of their personal reading as well as other educational materials related to health. Those with elevated readings will be referred to their own physicians for another blood pressure check and further evaluation. The clinic will not serve to diagnose high blood pressure, but only to screen those individuals who may possibly have elevated blood pressure.
