Državno tajništvo se Lepaki v Pekingu : Savdska Arabija bo bran? odgovornosti ra proš? Hua-Kuo-tengu! j zavirala dvig cen olja moritev v Jonestownu
Naloga diplomatskih zastopstev je varovati koristi ZDA v tujih državah in pomagati ameriškim državljanom v težavah s tujimi oblastmi, ne pa a-meriškim državljanom v medsebojnih sporih.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Državno tajništvo se je znašlo v neprijetnem položaju, ko skuša razložiti, zakaj ni odkrilo stvarnih razmer v komuni People’s Temple v Jonestownu v Gvajani, ko o glasovi o tem krožili v ZDA in je bilo objavljenih celo več podrobnosti v raznem časopisju.
Poslaništvo v Georgetownu v Gvajani je izjavilo, da ni dobilo nobenih pritožb o kakem nasilju v Jonestownu, da se ni nihče tam pritožil, da bi ga zadržali s silo v agrarni socialistični komuni Jamesa Jonesa.
Zastopnik Državnega tajništva je po umoru kong. Ryana in po množičnem samomoru članov komune v Jonestownu dejal, da je naloga ameriških diplomatskih zastopstev v tujih državah p o m a g ati ameriškim državljanom, če pridejo v kake težave s tujimi vladami, ne pa čuvati ameriške državljane drugega pred drugim. Prav tako ta zastopstva niso kaki preiskovalni organi in v gvajanskem slučaju bi vsako preveliko zanimanje pomenilo državno poseganje v versko skupnost, kar je v nasprotju z ustavo ZDA.
Obsojen kongresnik
bo ostal v Kongresa
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Charles Diggs iz Detroita, Mich., je bil 12-krat izvoljen v Kongres. Četudi je bil obtožen, da je jemal od plač svojih uslužbencev, ki jih plačuje Kongres, ter denar prenašal in nezakonito uporabljal v osebne namene, je bil v letošnjem novembru izvoljen ponovno z veliko večino.
Po volitvah je bil obsojen na 3 leta zapora, pa bo po vsem sodeč ostal v Kongresu. Charles Diggs je vodnik skupine črnih kongresnikov in načelnik dveh kongresnih pododborov.
Da Kongres dopušča v svoji sredi človeka, pa četudi s polno podporo volivcev, ki je obsojen zlorabe javnega denarja v zapor, je očitno znamenje nizke politične morale v naši deželi! Volivci, ki glasujejo za takega kandidata, gotovo ne kažejo politične zrelosti in odgovornosti.

Vremenski prerok
HONG KONG. — Na zidovih v Pekingu so se pojavili lepaki, ki kažejo, da bi predsednik vlade in načelnik Komunistične partije Hua Kuo-feng mogel biti v nevarnosti. Poročila trdijo, da zahtevajo lepaki kaznovanje “velikega vodnika”.

Na konferenci izvoznic olja prihodnji mesec v Abu Dahi bo Savdska Arabija predložila zamrznitev cene olja, pa verjetno sprejela njeno manjše povišanje.
ABU DABI, ZAE. — Oljni minister Savdske Arabije, znani šejk Ahmed Zaki Yamani je dejal, da je stališče Savdske A-rabije v pogledu cene olja splošno znano. V načelu je proti vsakemu dviganju cen v sedanjem času. Tako stališče bo Savdska Arabija zavzela tudi na konferenci držav izvoznic olja — OPEČ —- prihodnji mesec v Abu Dabiju. Yamani je priznal, da verjetno ne bo sposoben s svojim stališčem prevladati, ko je pritisk za povišanje cene olja tolikšen.
Na splošno pričakujejo, da bo cena olja povprečno povišana za 10%, morda nekaj manj.
Zastopnik Savdske Arabije je poudaril, da je njeno stališče zamrznitev sedanjih cen, pa dodal, da bodo verjetno te povišane, ko bo sedanja poplava olja na svetovnem trgu prešla in se bosta ponudba in povpraševanje bolj izenačila. Povišanje naj bi bilo omejeno in postopno v skladu s položajem na trgu.

LR Kitajska lahko kupi salelil ta zveze v ZDA
ZDA so pripravljene tak satelit za uporabo LR Kitajske poslati tudi v vesolje.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Vlada predsednika Carterja je sporočila vladi LR Kitajske, da ta lahko kupi v ZDA umetni satelit za zveze in da so ga ji ZDA pripravljene poslati tudi v vesolje, kjer bo mogel uspešno o-pravljati svoje naloge. Kitajci so prvič govorili o taki možnosti s Frankom Presse-om, ko je bila skupina znanstvenikov na obisku v LR Kitajski v preteklem juliju.
Razgovori so se nato nadaljevali, pa niso bili zaključeni, dokler vlada ZDA ni dala za tak nakup končnega dovoljenja. To je bilo sedaj dano in bo tako možno skleniti zadevno pogodbo. Satelit sam naj bi stal med 15 in 17 milijoni dolarjev, njegova pošiljatev v vesolje pa od 13 do 23 milijonov dolarjev.

Gradnja ncvih domov se zmanjšuje počasi
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Povišanje obrestne mere za nakupe domov je vzbudilo strah, da bo zavrlo gradnjo novih hiš in stanovanj. Za enkrat tega še ni čutiti, v preteklem mesecu so jve hiše gradili še vedno na letni ravni preko 2 milijona.

Pomilostitev v Iranu
TEHERAN, Iran. — Šah Reza Pahlevi je za muslimanski praznik pomilostil in pustil na svobodo 210 političnih jetnikov. Na seji vlade je izjavil, da bo nadaljeval izvajanje programa liberalizacije v Iranu, ki se ji u-pirajo konservativni muslimanski vodniki.
Ti nasprotujejo zahodnim vplivom in zahtevajo, da Iran ohrani svoje islamsko izročilo, se drži starih predpisov in da postane tudi v družabnem pogledu čisto islamska država. Šah jo je hotel modernizirati, jo gospodarsko naglo razviti in ji dati čisto zahodni značaj na vseh področjih.
Vojaški vladi je v glavnem uspelo vzpostaviti mir in red, toda v nekaterih mestih prihaja še vedno do demonstracij in izgredov. Vojaštvo je moralo nekajkrat! v zadnjih dneh rabiti orožje. V tej zvezi omenjajo zlasti mesti Qum, znano versko islamsko središče, in Mashad. ---------------c------

Naša Koroška
(Razmišljanje ob jubilejni izdaji koroškega “Našega tednika’1.)
III.
Na podlagi vsebine v “Našem tedniku”, objavljene ob 30-letnici izhajanja, ki zajemljivo slika položaj in razmere naših bratov na Koroškem, bomo prvi naši misli o enotnem in silovitem nastopu vsega naroda za zakonito obnovitev obveznega dvojezičnega šolstva sedaj dodali še ostali dve, kakor smo ju že napovedovali: vlogo Cerkve in pomen gospodarstva za ohranitev in utrditev slovenstva na Koroškem.
2. Farna cerkev je igrala in vedno igra dominantno in vodilno vlogo v dejanju in nehanju slovenskega^ človeka na Koroškem vsa dolga stoletja. Iz vrst služabnikov božjih so izšli največji vodniki slovenjega ljudstva, mu kazali pot v časno in večno srečo ter se neustrašeno m nesebično borili za pravice svojih sorojakov. Po nacistični strahovladi ob koncu druge svetovne vojne so se v tem oziru razmere spremenile, ali pa se samo zdi, da so se. Slovenska duhovščina se je nekako potegnila v ozadje v sedanjih ostrih sporih z nemškimi sodeželani in nemškimi oblastmi; borbe so izrazito političnega značaja in duhovnik čuti, da bi stvari škodoval, če bi se vodilno zapletel v politične spopade, saj je dušni pastir obojih, slovenskih in nemških faranov. Napravi pa lahko neizmerno mnogo dobrega na drugih področjih javnega dela, v prvi vrsti in predvsem v cerkvi na fari, ki je dana njemu v oskrbovanje.
Z ozirom na ta‘ okoliščine se o delu duhovnikov na farah in soseskah malo govori in piše, pa se vendar brez pretiravanja lahko reče, da je njihovo delo v cerkvi in izven nje komaj kaj manj važno od dvojezične šole. Duhovnik seže v svojim vplivom v najbolj skrite globine človeške duše, kjer se svetno, kakor je jezik in narodna zavest, nevidno veže z božjo resnico in božjim, otroštvom Cerkev in duhovščina sta po našem prepričanju na Koroškem vsaj toliko važna, kot prizadevanja političnih voditeljev za slovensko pravdo, samo da se ta važnost uveljavlja na drugačnem področju in na različni gladini. O-hranitev ali nova uvedba slovenske službe božje in petja ima narodno-politično težko vrednost. Če dodamo še narodno kulturno delo izven cerkvenih zidov, je vodilna pomembnost farne cerkve nesporna.
Škofijska sinoda celovške škofije je pred leti izdela la cerkveno uredbo, ki je tolerantna do slovenskih vernikov in ščiti slovenski jezik v bogoslužju. Vendar se v obrobnih župnijah slovensko poseljenega ozemlja po trditvi Našega tednika določila te uredbe ne izpolnjujejo, čeprav v župnijah živijo slovenski verniki. Z ozirom na to bi veljalo sestaviti poseben odbor ali komisijo, ki bi ji bila naloga skrbeti, da se odredbe sinode strogo in dosledno izvršujejo na vsem dvojezičnem ozemlju in se ne pomišljati, v negativnih primerih, posredovati in zahtevati remeduro pri pristojnih cerkvenih oblasteh na vseh stop njah, vključno Vatikan, če bi bilo potrebno. Položaj slovenskih vernikov v farnem življenju je v verskem in nacionalnem oziru toliko vreden in važen, da so taki koraki potrebni in povsem upravičeni.
Problem ohranjevanja slovenske duhovščine na Koroškem je prav tako pereča zadeva, ki bi se naj zanjo intenzivno brigala vsa narodna skupnost brez izjeme. Čim več zavednih slovenskih dušnih pastirjev bo po dvojezičnih farah, tem bolj bo tam cvetelo duhovno in narodno življenje. Statistika pove, da za take fare primanjkuje najmanj 20 slovenskih duhovnikov, a od aktivnih jih je nad polovico starih čez 50 let. Kaj bo s temi farami in njih verniki, če ne bo naraščaja? Velika in odgovorna naloga je naložena dijaškemu domu Mohorjeve družbe za gimnazijske dijake, da z modrim vodstvom (poudarek je na “modrim ”) usmerjajo fante v duhovniški poklic, in da ji pri tem celotno slovensko verno občestvo pomaga in sodeluje. Pomembnosti duhovskega naraščaja ni mogoče dovolj podčrtati.
3. Gospodarska samostojnost je materialno conditio sine qua non za obstanek in razvoj slovenske narodne skupine. Dokler bo slovenski človek stal pred oholim in zagrizenim nemškim sodežeianom s klobukom v roki in z ukrivljenim hrbtom moledoval za delovno mesto, toliko časa slovenska reč na Koroškem nima izgleda na lepšo bodočnost. Gospodarski problem leži v prvi vrsti na samopomoči, vsaj za začetek, da se spravi v tek slovensko podjetništvo v smeri male industrije na eni strani, in da se na drugi zaerotovi ekonomska trdnost obstoječih slovenskih kmetij. Za realizacijo takšne-kombinacije čakra ogromna naloga in odgovornost slovensko zadružništvo v vseh vejah obratovanja. Prvenstvo gre kreditnim

krat je moja kronika polna smeha, radosti in razgibanosti. In po lepi tretji septembrski nedelji sem svojo kroniko kronal z ugotovitvijo in vzklikom nam vsem: kar zlahka bi še živeli.. .
V oktobru je bila tretja nedelja spet lepa s prosvetno uro. Sledila ji je četrta, misijonska, ki je bila po udeležbi še nekam lepša. Potem pa navidezen upad življenja. Dejal sem ‘navidezen’, ker sicer je bil na sledeče nedelje življenjski porast. Na vse te nedelje smo pri Sv. Cirilu na Osmi imeli spet po dve slovenski maši. Drugod jih ukinjajo,
Pred tem večerom sem se na marsikaj jezil, da smo v vabljenju brezskrbni in brezbrižni; če mi je kdo odklonil vzeti vstopnico v predprodaji in še na marsikaj.

Cirilu na Osmi nedeljska sv. daritev, ki se bo izvršila v jeziku moje matere, če ji bom prisostvoval. Pa je nas, njujorških Slovencev še zmerom toliko, da bi našo. domačo cerkvico lahko kar dvakrat čedno posedli vsako nedeljo, če je že nočemo napolniti. Pri skrajni narodni zavesti in s skrajno našo dobro voljo — pa bi se lahko zgodilo tudi to!
Sobotni večer 11. novembra nam je lepo pokazal, da nas je zares še za lepo slovensko. narodno skupnost na Njujorškem. Če bi fara sv. Cirila sklicala njujorške Slovence v domač “vi-

Odbor se zahvaSjiije
CHICAGO, 111. — Veličastno slavje Slovenskega dneva p ro s 1 a vo1 60-letnice slovenske neodvisnosti' in 28-letnice radijskih oddaj v srcu Amerike, je zopet pokazalo, da rojaka metropolitanskega Chicaga- radi pritegnejo in pomagajo k lepemu uspehu. Preveč bi bilo naštevati številne zveste odborni-in prijatelje Slovenskega radio kluba, ki so vedno pripravljeni pomagati dobri stvari, zato naj velja vsem in vsakemu posebej naša prisrčna zahvala.
Posebej pa se želimo zahvaliti našim zunanjim gostom, prvi vrsti odličnim pevcem zbora FANTJE NA VASI iz Clevelanda, ki so bili deležni navdm šenega sprejema, kakor je že le-poročal naš čikaški poročevalec g. Mirko Geratič pod zaglavjem “Slovenska pomlad v Chicagu”. Pevovodji g. Janezu Sršenu in vsem pevcem naša prisrčna zahvala.
Enako iskrena zahvala našim domačim pevcem zbora SLO VENSKA PESEM pod vodstvom p. Vendelina Špendova, ki kažejo rast in napredek pri vsakem nastopu.
Naši odlični radijski folklorni plesalci ne potrebujejo zahvale ali pohvale, saj so sami del novega slovenskega vala pri nas. Njihova mladostna navdušenost odseva vsepovsod.
Isto velja za naj mlajšo radijsko plesalno skupino pod vodstvom talentirane Magde Sim-rajh. Posebne igralske in pevske talente je pokazal 4-letni Peter Gorenc s sestrico. Pravi gorenjski pastirček.
Mama ga. Mihaela Simrajh in stara mama ga. Paula Arko pa sta razumljivo bili zelo ponosni na “pristnega” Ribenčana Urbana v osebi Hermana Simrajha. Čeprav tukaj rojen, je pošteno, zavil po "ribenško’1, kakor da je včeraj prišel iz Dolenjske. Ribniška suha roba je bila menda prvič razstavljena v Ameriki, celotni koš in vse, kar spada zraven, je prispelo sem direktno iz Brež pri Ribnici. Zahvala velja Pepci Aman, Martinu in Juliji Kacinu, ki so imeli mnogo truda, da je roba končno prispela v Ameriko, za kar ima pa še posebne zasluge Kollandrova potniška pisarna. Velja jim naša iskrena zahvala.
Posebna zahvala velja inž. Simonu Kregarju, izvršnemu tajniku Lige slovenskih Ameri-kancev iz New Yorka za globoke misli, podane v njegovem govoru, ki je lepo odjeknil med udeleženci.
Dr. Leo Klaužu, našemu letošnjemu odlikovancu, veljajo naše prisrčne čestitke za veliko opravljeno delo in zasluženo priznanje.
Poleg brzojavke čikaškega župana, nas je posebno razveselil
j pesem na radiju vsako nedeljo ob osmih zvečer. Neverjetno dragi radijski čas v našem mestu potrebuje podpore vseh, zato vas vse obenem z zahvalo za sodelovanje pri uspešnem Festivalu sedaj že vabimo na slovensko Silvestrovanje na starega leta večer v svetoštefanski dvorani ob godbi Janeza Arka. Na veselo svidenje!

Slovenska tovarna v italijanski Primorski
GORICA, It, — Drugo leto bo 55 let, odkar je naš rojak Ivan Prinčič začel z obratom za izdelavo pohištva v Krminu (Cor-mons) pod Goriškimi Brdi na robu furlanske ravnine; kljub svojim letom je g. Ivan še vedno delaven in živahen, obrat pa vodi sedaj njegov sin Stanko.
Ta edini obrat, postavljen po prvi svetovni vojni, v času pod fašizmom, ki je šel preko velike krize tridesetih let, druge svetovne vojne, je na Primorskem zgled slovenske podjetnosti, v okolju, ki je slovenskim ljudem nenaklonjeno, vendar pa ne to-toliko zaprto, da ne bi kazalo začeti samostojnih gospodarskih pobud. Žal je ostala ta tovarna vsa povojna leta ed(ni slovenski industrijski obrat.
Med nami Slovenci gre govorica, da smo pridni, delavni, zanesljivi, itd. V resnici pa nam primanjkuje poglavitnega:	sa-
mostojne pobude in gospodarnosti. Informiranje naše javnosti je le preveč kulturno, premalo pa življenjsko. Vsaka narodna skupnost si mora namreč ustvariti svojo življenjsko povezavo, da postane nekaka gospodarska skupnost, zato da se lahko razvija in ne gre v zaton. In teh smernic nam hudo manjka. Manjka spoznanja, da je gospodarjenje za naš obstoj, in ne samo kultura, nujno potrebno. Da se tudi narodne pobude dajo vskladiti z narodno zavestjo, ali pa celo, da na podlagi prav te zavesti klijejo nove pobude in podvigi v splošno dobro. (Do tega spoznanja je prišel npr. tudi prof. Hočevar v svojih raziskavah slovenskega gospodarstva oz. njegove zgodovine, zadnjih sto let.)
In tako nam, rekli bi, svetijo v gospodarsko temo le posamezniki, ki pa bi jih bilo lahko veliko več. Na Primorskem je to, kot omenjeno, samo obrat pohištva Prinčič,
Danes je proizvodnja pohištva v tej tovarni že močno mehanizirana, saj visoke cene drugega ne dopuščajo. Cena surovega lesa npr. se je v Italiji povečala po vojni za več kot tisočkrat. In to terja velik gospodar-nostni napor. Pohištvo izdeluj e-o sedaj v serijah, usmerili so se na izdelavo lahkega, sestavljivega in praktičnega pohištva, po modelu 80, ki obsega naslednje programe:
Sobni kot, soba oz. sodobna izba, študijska soba,vdvopostelj-soba, jedilnica. Nekateri programi so v več izvedbah.
svoje otroke. Potem je bila kriza prestana in že štiri leta se ta šola zadovoljivo razvija.
Poleg tega so uvedli v cerkvi na Subidi, tik pri Krminu, tudi slovensko mašo za vsako nedeljo, pri kateri prepeva slovenski zbor. Maša je obiskana v lepem številu.
G. Ivan Prinčič je dobil za svoje delo tudi več priznanj, med drugim tudi odlikovanje italijanske vlade za viteza dela, saj so njegova gospodarska prizadevanja v korist vsemu kr-minskemu območju.
Njegovo delo pa je tudi slovenskim ljudem lahko dragocen zgled vztrajnosti in požrtvovalnosti. Da bi le sprožilo med slovenskimi ljudmi še novih pobud!

So pa še drugi mostovi, ki nas povezujejo v MZA,
Sodelovanje je mogočen most.
Mnogo žrtev sprejme iz ljubezni. Nevidno, toda dejansko pomaga posredovati pomoč mnogim, misijonarjem. Ne premišljuje, kdo je, kaj potrebuje, niti 2ie, kje je. Zadostuje potreba.
Ko je množica poslušala Jezusa v puščavi, so se mu zasmilili ljudje. Kdo ima kruha zanje, je vprašal z besedo, s pogledom, s srcem. Kar je bilo po človeško gledano nemogoče, je postalo otipljiva resnica. Velikodušni dar, par kruhov, je zadostovalo za tisoče lačnih.
Misijonsko sodelovanje mora biti dejansko, toda oprto na VERO. Gospod sprejme vsak dar in ga DUHOVNO spremeni. Preko vidnih darov se daje nevidni, živi Bog. Kar je človeku
Profesorica Kristina Mlakar, laična misijonarka v Zambiji odhaja koncem novembra na oddih v domovino. Po 3 mesecih srečanj z domačimi in prijatelji se bo vrnila v Zambijo, da začne deseto leto misij on arj en j a s slovenskimi jezuiti.
Pred 50 leti je bila ustanovljena lusaška “Apostolska prefek-rura”, katere prvi apostolski prefekt je bil poljski jezuit Bruno Wolnik. Pomagalo mu je osem duhovnikov, 13 redovniških bratov in — nobena redovnica. Imeli so le 5 misijonskih postaj, raztresenih na področju, ki se razteza čez 400 km.
V Lusako so prišli darovat mašo le enkrat mesečno. Danes ima Lusaka, glavno mesto Zambije, v nadškofiji 16 velikih župnij in 17 cerkva. Tri župnijske cerkve o zgradili slovenski misijonarji. Dve pa gradi, ko berete to poročilo, neumorni o. Tomažin . V nadškofiji je sedaj 190,000 katoličanov, 143 cerkva, 78 duhovnikov, 37 bratov in 158

ima vidno in nevidno; stran. Vsako pismo, vsak stik, vsak pogovor, nekaj doprinese za povezanost. Stiki so koristni in potrebni. Žanjci povežejo klasje v snop, da se dragoceno žito ne izgubi. Stiki med misijonarji o-hranjajo in krepijo ŽRTEV samega sebe za gradnjo svete Cerkve. Enako misijonska srečanja v zaledju netijo ljubezen do misijonov. Dragocena je izmenjava med misijonarji in sodelavci.
Povezujemo se lahko osebno ali kot MZA. Dobrohotni pozdrav krepi brata, ga odpre za sprejem RESNICE, obenem ga navduši za POPOLN DAR samega sebe. Vse pa sloni na Njem, ki “me je ljubil in se je dal za moje odrešenje”. Kristusov dar na KRIŽU je vir povezovanja. Po sv. krstu nas je povezal v ude svojega Skrivnostnega Telesa. V sv. maši nas vse daruje in posveti. Presveta Evharistija nas hrani in nas spreminja po vedno globlji povezanosti z glavo, ki je Kristus in z udi, ki so bratje.
Bog nas je povezal v svojo družino. Milijoni smo. Oče pa je eden. Beli, črni, rumeni rdeči smo po koži, po srcu pa bratje in sestre. Preko razdalj in časa nas On vodi k Očetu, “DA BI BILI VSI ENO.”
Srečanja sestre Silve žužek v ZD
so bila končana v Clevelandu, Ohio, v soboto in nedeljo, 11. in 12. novembra. Sestra je odletela 4 dni kasneje v Argenti-no k svoji materi in po Božiču
Ob prisotnosti enajstih škofov in naj višjih predstavnikov oblasti so tisoči prepevali hvalo Kristusu, ki ni več tujec, ampak domačin med svojimi vernimi.

za kratek obisk misijonar Rok Gajšek z Madagaskarja. Prišel je z g. Kopačem in g. Letonjo in zapel pri večerji malgaški Oče-naš. Je zelo preprost in skromen, kar pri misijonarju posebno koristi ob srečanjih s sodelavci v zaledju. Obiskal je rojake tudi v Montrealu in bogoslovca Batiča iz Toronta v Mary Immaculate Seminary, v Northampton, Pa., kjer študira za jugoslovansko provinco lazaristov.
Fr. Hous, S.J., iz St. Xavier’s College, Calcutta, India, je sporočil koncem oktobra tole: “Ko je o. J. Ehrlich umrl začetka tega leta, je pustil zavitek stvari z vašim imenom in naslovom. Vrsto starih revij, z znamkami, lepo med listi razporejenimi. Bojim se, da sem malo zmešal vsebino, ko sem vam pred nekaj dnevi poslal po priporočeni pošti zavitek “book post parcel”. Upam, da boste prejeli pošiljko v kakih 4 mesecih. Pomišljal sem se poslati običajne indijske znamke, a sem med nje vtaknil nekaj kuvert prvega dneva in več boljših znamk. Iz žalostne izkušnje vem, da so znamke za nekatere na poštnih uradih velika skušnjava. Iskreno pozdravlja L. Hous S.J.”

The Slovenian National Art Guild is very pleased with the fine turnout for its workshop,! “Introduction to Painting,”
The first week had three art-; ists, members of the SNAG, de-1 menstrating individual styles and techniques, Justine Skok worked on a floral arrangement painting, Fran Bezdek created aj landscape, and Bernie Lavrisaj of Lake Erie College produced an abstract rendition of one of his sculptured works.
The instructor for Series I is Justine Skok, well known for her paintings. Some of the pointers she gave to those attending were as to the kind of supplies needed, type of brushes, choice ef paint colors, canvas board at least 12 x 16 size, acrylics versus oils and keeping in mind the cost and expense of materials which was held to a minimum.

TOGETHER AGAIN — The happy ending to the McDonald’s Restaurant “Family Reunion” contest is seen above (left to right) Linda Kastelic, her parents Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mion and grandson Dylan, Dorothy Urbancich, and her nephew James Kastelic and James’ mother Caroline Kastelic.
BIG MAC DOES IT ALL -REUNITES KASTELIC FAMILY
CAN A Ui. BISHOP
BECOME A SAINT?
Memo; From Madeline
By JOHN M. URBANCICH
The McDonald’s Restaurant Cottvmercial that boasts “we do ''' all for you” was never more than it was for a pair of ^0rmer Cleveland residents and their respective families recently.
I, When James and Linda Kaste-Tc flew into Cleveland Hopkins lfhernational Airport from Ad-Washington, with their 8--'ear-old son Dylan last week, ^ey did it courtesy of McDonalds.
Their journey actually began ^ couple of months back when ^sstelic’s uncle Carl Malnar of ■lentor, Ohio, entered McDon-^d’s family reunion contest ^hile driving through Ashta-uta one afternoon.
"He said he never even thought about it .and was as sur-Trised as anyone when McDon-'hhs called him,” Kastelic reported.
After winning, Malnar immediately contacted his sister, Olga Jesensek, in Florida, offering her a chance to fly to Cleveland. But when Mrs. Jesensek declined the offer because she is afraid of flying, Malnar offered the rize to another sister, Caroline Kastelic, of School Ave. in Cleveland.
Caroline, affectionately known as “Carrie” by customers at the old Aspinwall Drug, jumped at he opportunity to be reunited with her son and his family.
“It’s really a complicated story how f wound up with the reunion,” Caroline said, “but it all turned out to be wonderful.
“I hadn’t seen my son in six years.”
The Kastelics also used their time in Cleveland for a reunion with Linda’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mion of Lyndhurst.
Mion treated the entire clan lo a dinner at Ottino’s Restaurant, where he is a part-owner.

Concluding portion of Impressions from a trip to the U.S.A. by Msgr. Anthony Smerkolj, rector of the Cathedral in Ljubljana (Solvenia), as they appeared in the Yugoslav publication “Družina” (The Family) •n its August 13 (1978, No. 32) issue.
“The Cause of Bishop Baraga is in your hands”: those are' the words used by Father Daniel Rupp, Chief Postulator for Bishop Baraga’s canonization and priest of the Marquette diocese, as he concluded his talk on July 30th of this year. Listening to his words, it seemed to me at iirst that he was thereby removing some of the responsibility from his own shoulders. As be expressed his though more fully, however, I agreed with him. I realized that the effort to have Bishop Baraga included among the Blessed was in good bands.
Even though Father Rupp is a relatively young priest, he las taken on his task very seri-cusly. This past year he worked very diligently in Rome, precaring sixteen propositions on ;he sanctity of Baraga’s life for :he Sacred Congregation respon-bble for the cause. Each had to be thoroughly documented in every detail and had to be sup-corted by historical fact. Now be will be working in the diocesan archives till the end of the year and after that will return to Rome and to Vienna where there are many documents which still have to be verified.
The Chief Postulator emphasized that the presentation of thoroughly documented proofs of Bishop Baraga’s sanctity to the Sacred Congregation is not the most important thing. This, of course, has to be done. More

fest what a great gift God gave the Slovenes when he gave us Baraga.
“In what way is Baraga’s Cause in my hands”, I asked myself. I’m acquainted with his life, having read his] biographies. I must admit, however, that Bishop Baraga became really close to me only during this past month. Prior to that I had asked myself with (some impatience: “Why is Rome dillydallying so long in proclaiming him a saint?” Now I understand the truth of the Postula-tor’s statement. Bishop Baraga must grow among us if we are to be worthy of the Church’s placing him on the altar.	j
The visit to Baragaland was very helpful to me in that respect. I don’t know why “Cross River” impressed me so much, J yet ever since I stood at the mouth of that river, where Father Baraga erected a large wooden cross (it has now been replaced by one of stone), the events that took place there keep coming back to mind every day.
One fine day Father Baraga was being rowed in a canoe towards Grand Portage by his Indian guide Vizon. Suddenly a strong wind began to blow. It pushed them very rapidly westward towards the rocky shore where there were a thousand possibilities that the canoe would be destroyed. “Father”, shouted the Indian, “we are probably going to drown.” “Don’t be afraid, Vizon, the Black Robe will not drown, otherwise the people would be unfortunate,” replied Father Baraga, and he lay back in the canoe to continue saying his breviary. The Indian didn't know in what direction to row 'so he asked Father which wa'y

The month of October Grape Festivals and clam bakes. Month of November — card parties, dinner dances and concerts — all extremely welT attended and patronized.
After a two month vacation, our group is again in full swing rehearsing for our annual Fall Concert. The date is Nov. 26 Sunday after Thanksgiving, beginning at 4 p.m at Slov. Soc. Home on Recher Ave. in Euclid. Ohio.
Mr. Zupan our Director came up with unique comical songs. One especially entitled “Polka je ukazana” is bound to tickle a male chauvenist when he listens to the words of a Father-in-law and son-in-law lamenting the type of woman each one married. Believe me their description is not the least bit flattering, but hopefully will create laughter from the audience.
As in the past we again invite you to join us. You’ll be pleased and in return will please us by attending. Jeff Pecon Orchestra will entertain you during and. after the concert and Charles Naviganti, a most talented accompanist, will be ai the piano.
P’ood and liquid refreshments will be available and served graciously by our members.
“Dawn Choral” is the only all women chorus in our Slovenian Community. An annual concert is our only means of support to continue to exist.
Everybody needs somebody, and we need you. May we count on you?

The Bishop Baraga Association was organized specifically for the promotion of the Cause of Beatification. Msgr. John Strelick, as Executive Director of the Bishop Baraga Association, presided over the meeting. Tie introduced all the bishops as well as the various groups represented at the event — from Chicago, Joliet, Cleveland, and Toronto. Msgr. Anthony Smerkolj then read the letter of greeting from the Archbishop of Ljubljana. Most Rev. Joseph Pogačnik, addressed to the Bishop Baraga Association.

The rector of the Ljubljana Cathedral then added the greetings of his own parish-

For this very reason I realized standing in the promotion of. how important are “Baraga | the Cause. This year the choice Days”, whether it be in Ameri-1 fell on Father Victor Tome, pas-ca,i where they have become i tor of the Slovenian Church of traditional to some extent, or the Assumption in Cleveland, among us in Slovenia, where they are just beginning to be held. Last year “Baraga Day” was celebrated in Lernont, next year it will be held in Cleveland, and this year ip Marquette where Baraga was the first bishop. It was . part of the 125th anniversary of existence which the Marquette Diocese marks this year.
For this| event, many admirers of Bishop Baraga gathered in Marquette, mostly Slovenians.
They came by bus and by plane; the majority came in their own cars. It-is remarkable how Tittle Americans care about distances.
From Chicago it is a good 700 miles from Cleveland even more, yet several hundred persons came from there.
Already on Saturday evening a fervent religious service was held in the Cathedral, opening with a sort of popular evening dqvotion. Attention was aroused by a dance which girls dressed in white performed in front of and around the altar to the accompaniment of appropriate music. After that there was a candle-light procession in the darkened cathedral during which the rosary was recited.
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given by the Bishop-of Cleveland who had brought with him a large group of Slovenians. I noticed that the Bishop of Cleveland is very well liked by the Slovenians of chat city. When he served as rector of the American College in Rome he was also the Chief Postulator for Bishop Baraga’s Cause.
The main part of the Baraga Day celebration was the Mass offered in the cathedral on Sunday afternoon. About fifty priests plus six bishops con-celebrated the Mass. The Archbishop of Ljubljana, who had been invited for the occasion, was represented by the rector of the Cathedral of Ljubljana.
The new head of the Marquette Diocese, Bishop Mark Schmitt, led the concelebration and delivered an excellent homily. The offertory gifts were brought to the altar by an Indian man and an Indian woman dressed in their colorful, costumes.
After the Mass a formal supper was served on the grounds of Marquette University. About
He was declared “Man of the Year for 1978” by the Association and was presented wnh a plaque. Elis own parishioners.in appreciation made a sizable contribution to the Cause.
Miss Agnes Rufus, secretary of the Bishop Baraga Association, then gave an administrative account of its activities, particularly in. what concerns subscriptions to the Baraga Bulletin. Notable also was the performance of a girl’s group from Canada. Dressed in Slovenian national costumes, they presented an interesting ballet to the accompaniment of Slovenian songs. One of the girls interpreted the dance, first in Slovenian then in English which, of course, went more fluently for her.
All the movements toward renewal in our day: Cursillos, Tai-ze, Focolarini, Neocatechume-nate and Schoenstatt, to name but a few, are worthy of attention and even study. Even the charismatic movement, which is an American phenomenon, is nothing more than a manifestation of this effort towards renewal. Perhaps these movements tend to irk Some people since they give rise to tension' in the Church, but the Churcl: accepts them all. I read the comment on these movements' by Archbishop Jean Jadot, papa: nuncio to the United Stales: “These movements are evidence that the Church is capable of self-renovation, so they art-nothing new in the Catholic Church.” This is true and so it is important that we renew ourselves through them. All the people of God can draw benefit from them.
However, when I traced the footsteps of Bishop Friderii: Baraga in Baragaland and thu deepened my appreciation of the fruits of his labors, it became clear to me that Baraga was truly an outstanding instrument of renewal and tha* all efforts in that direction, tc be genuine, must follow bis example. We shall have to live according to his spirit, placing God before us as our ideal. We shall have to have the same confidence in the power of prayer that he had, not hesitating to spend hours in meditation each morning. We shah to have the same confi-
