Reagan prosil za pomoč za El Salvador -Močno kritiziral Nikaragvo, Kubo in SZ -Mednarodno sodišče zoper politiko ZDA
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Preteklo sredo zvečer je predsednik Ronald Reagan govoril po televiziji o njegovi politiki do Srednje Amerike, predvsem do El Salvadorja in Nikaragve. S svojim nastopom je skušal Reagan pritiskati na zvezni kongres za odobritev znatno več ameriške vojaške pomoči El Salvadorju. Nasprotniki predsednikove Politike namreč preprečujejo odobritev te Pomoči. Reagan je dejal, da brez te dodatne pomoči El Salvadorju, utegnejo v deželi lagati komunistični gverilci, ki dobivajo veliko gmotne podpore od Nikaragve, ki posreduje orožje, poslano s Kube in seveda Sovjetske zveze. Ako bi ZDA pustile El Salvador na cedilu, bi prišli na oblast komunisti, kt bi nadaljevali svoja prizadevanja v ostalih državah Srednje Amerike. Komunistična Srednja Amerika bi pa močno ogrožala ame-nške nacionalne interese.
Reagan je bil zelo oster do Nikaragve in Wvno priznal, kar ni doslej tako odkrito sam storil, da ZDA podpirajo oborožene skupi-he, ki se borijo v Nikaragvi zoper sandini-stični režim. Pripadniki teh skupin so borci svobodo, je dejal predsednik. V govoru je lj®agan tudi citiral razne podatke, ki so jih ^brale ameriške obveščevalne agencije. Po-patki kažejo neposredno nikaragveško in ku-ansko vmešavanje v elsalvadorski drža-v Janški vojni. Menda bo ameriška vlada od-s®j objavljala več takih po tajnih poteh 2”ranih podatkov.
Sodeč po izjavah kongresnikov po pred-^dnikovem govoru, je Reagan predvsem |PePričal prepričane, kritiki pa so ostali kri-. . • Kongresniki, ki predsedniku nasprotu-^Jo» pravijo še vedno, da vlada v El Salva-°rju ni dovolj demokratična, to kljub pre-^klonedeljskim svobodnim predsedniškim otvam v državi, ali pa omenjajo nevar-, st> da bo Reaganova politika vodila slej ^ Prej do pošiljanja ameriških vojakov v ednjo Ameriko. Tudi v svojem govoru eteklo sredo, je Reagan dejal, da ni name-’ P°5iljati vojakov ZDA v El Salvador ali rednjo Ameriko.
je Mednarodno oz. svetovno sodi-. kritiziralo ZDA zaradi ameriške »agresi-sod *° ^‘karagve. Že pred odločitvijo tega 3^ tsfca, je ameriška vlada izjavila, da sodi-yjf ki smelo obravnavati pritožbe, ki jo je v žila Nikaragva in da torej ne bo priznala ProfpVn°St‘ sociiščeve odločitve. Nikaragva je tjj ^tirala zoper miniranje voda v bližini ^.Pristanišč, ki so ga izvedli protisandi-soh i gverilci ob precejšnjem ameriškem
f^ovanju.
zveza se ne bo udeležila letošnjih ,|nPijskih iger v Los Angelesu — Iste i*ve od drugih komunističnih držav
sita N40SkvA, ZSSR — V torek je Sovjet-t)e u Veza Ptesentila svet, ko je izjavila, da se kos a U(k*e*ila letošnjih olimpijskih iger v ni J^lesu. Sovjeti so bili sicer zelo kritič-nii-j e~e Vamostnih priprav za njihovi šport-^er*ki olimpijski odbor pa je bil pre-bo(jQn‘ da so bile težave premagane in da drjav^0vjeti, z njimi pa druge komunistične Prišli v Los Angeles.
V°ma ni> da se bodo mnoge druge dr-Vjetslc-S°CialistiCncga tabora<< pridružile so-diu. Odločitvi. Prva je bila Bolgarija, sle-V*etn Vzk°dna Nemčija, danes zjutraj pa še bo Opazovalci v Moskvi menijo, da /w'SR organizirala posebne igre za časa
olimpijskih iger in sicer prav v Bolgariji. Teh iger se bodo baje udeležile tiste države, ki ne bodo šle v Los Angeles.
Kot kaže, bodo nekatere komunistične države kljub sovjetskemu nasprotovanju prišle v Los Angeles, med njimi pričakujejo Jugoslavijo in morda tudi Romunijo, prav tako Kitajsko.
Ameriški olimpijski odbor skuša organizirati aktivnosti, katerih namen je spremenilo sovjetsko odločitev. Predsednik Mednarodnega olimpijskega odbora Juan Samaranch namerava v Moskvo, predsedniški kandidat Jesse Jackson pa je izjavil, da se bo tudi napotil v Moskvo in se pogovarjal s sovjetskimi voditelji. Pred meseci je imel Jackson uspeh v pogovorih s Sirijo, ko je bil izpuščen ujeti ameriški pilot. V Washingto-nu pa je sovjetski ambasador Anatoli Dobrynin rekel, da ne pričakuje spremembe sovjetske odločitve.
Gary Hart presenetljivo zmagal v Ohiu in Indiani - Mondale še vedno vodi - Sedaj
zelo važne so volitve v Kaliforniji
SACRAMENTO, Kalif. — Na primarnih volitvah, ki so bile pretekli torek, je sen. Gary Hart presenetil analitike, ko je s sicer manjšo relativno večino premagal Walterja Mondala v Ohiu in Indiani, Mondale pa je zmagal v Marylandu in Severni Karolini. Kljub temu ima Mondale še vedno precejšnjo prednost. V središču pozornosti vseh treh demokratskih kandidatov so sedaj primarne volitve v Kaliforniji. Politični analitiki menijo, da bo tu imel zopet prednost Mondale in sicer radi zakona, po katerem se lahko volitev v demokratski stranki udeležujejo le že pred volitvami registrirani demokrati. Mnogi, ki bi za Harta glasovali, so registrirani kot neodvisni volivci, ki ne pripadajo nobeni stranki.
Mondalova zmaga v Kaliforniji bi mu brez dvoma odprla pot do strankinega imenovanja, Hartova zmaga pa bi Mondala upočasnila in najbrž pomenila, da bi imeli končno besedo neodvisni delegati, ki se bodo kot taki udeležili strankine konvencije v San Franciscu julija meseca.
Papež Janez Pavel II. v Tajlandu po zelo uspešnem obisku v Papui Novi Gvineji
BANGKOK, Taj. — Včeraj je papež Janez Pavel II. nadaljeval svoj obisk v Aziji in se mudil v Tajski, državi, kjer je velika večina prebivalstva budistične vere, vendar je na Tajskem tudi okoli 200.000 katoličanov, v begunskih taboriščih pa veliko laoških, kambodžanskih in vietnamskih katoličanov. Včeraj je imel papež dokaj nenavadno srečanje z budističnim patriarhom, 87-letnim Vasano-Tero. Verska voditelja sta bila skupaj kakih 17 minut, spregovorila pa skoraj nista, kar je menda budistična navada. Med obiskom na Tajskem, je imel papež sestanek z kraljem Bumibolom in njegovo ženo ter prestolonaslednikom.
Sovjeti gradijo veliko letalonosilko, najbrž na jedrski pogon - Nadaljevanje programa
okrepitve sovjetskih mornariških sil
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Analitiki sovjetskih mornariških sil pri ameriški mornarici potrjujejo, da ZSSR gradi letalonosilko, ki bo imela nosilnost 75.000 ton in na kateri bodo do 75 letal. Največja letalonosilka v sovjetski mornarici doslej ima nosilnost le 42.000 ton. Kot kaže, nameravajo Sovjeti graditi 6 takih letalonosilk. Podatki so bili zbrani predvsem preko fotografiranja iz ameriških vesoljskih satelitov.
Iz Clevelanda in okolice -j
Mati!
Morja širine in Tvoje ljubezni nikdar izmeriti prav se ne da. Tvoje poslanstvo je sončna toplota,
v njem se odraža stvarjenje Boga.
Žlahto drevo si cvetočega vrta,
kadar Ti dete ob srcu zori; sklanja se k Tebi nebeška dobrota,
ter se potaplja v milino oči.
Zlato nobeno Ti trud ne poplača,
kaj nam pomeniš prepozno se ve;
morda le takrat spoznanje prihaja -
kadar ustavi se Tvoje srce.

Sarajevski odmevi
Kar smo videli in slišali v onih dneh o svetovnih zimskih olimpijskih igrah v glavnem mestu Bosne, Sarajevu, je bilo lepo, zanimivo in spodbudno. Ameriška televizijska postaja ABC je ves potek vzorno prenašala in komentirala, brez dvoma v polno zadovoljstvo milijonskih gledalcev. Vreme je sicer nekoliko nagajalo z novimi snežnimi padavinami, vendar so se igre odvijale po načrtu in v redu na vzorno pripravljenem tekmovalnem prostoru. Vse tehnične naprave za uspešno izvajanje raznih zimskih športnih podvigov so bile očividno mojstrsko izdelane tako, da se je ta pisec čudil zmogljivosti jugoslovanskih inženirjev in graditeljev, med katerimi so prednjačili Slovenci kot vodilni mojstri v zimskem športu.
Za majhno in revno državo kot je Jugoslavija, ki se zvija v gospodarskih krčih, je bil sprejem gostiteljice letošnje zimske olimpiade vsekakor drzen in riskanten akt samozavesti in zmogljivosti. Rešili so svojo nalogo vzorno, za kar zaslužijo vsi, ki so imeli kakršno koli funkcijo pri izvedbi ogromnega načrta, polno priznanje in pohvalo. Ni dvoma, da je s tem velikim tehniškim uspehom Jugoslavija kot država pridobila na ugledu, ne le njeni sposobni gradbeni načrtovalci in mojstri za gradnjo naprav, in krajevni organizatorji celotne prireditve, marveč tudi totalitarni režim - in morda ta največ. Vendar izgleda, da samo pri tistih, ki so olimpiado v Sarajevu gledali in poslušali na televiziji.
Tiskovni poročevalci, ki so se osebno udeležili olimpiade v Sarajevu, so imeli odprte oči za celotno sliko gostitelj-ske države, ne le za dogodke v Sarajevu. In mnogi med njimi, vajeni nepristranskega poročanja in objektivnega gledanja, niso mogli spraviti v sklad svobodnega duha olimpijskih iger s tem, kar so našli kot posledico politične diktature in prisile v Jugoslaviji. Navedli bomo le par odlomkov iz poročil teh časnikarjev, ki so jih objavili iz Sarajeva nekateri evropski časopisi, da se ocena Sarajeva prikaže v splošni, pravi luči.
Pariški list La Croix je, pod naslovom »Jugoslavija: igre in ječe«, objavil, da je bila Zimska oiimpiada v Sarajevu za mnoge organizacije, ki branijo človekove pravice, priložnost, da so Jugoslavijo spomnile, kako često pozablja na spoštovanje teh pravic. Zadnje poročilo Amnesty International poroča o zapiranju zaradi miselnih prestopkov in o tem, da so s temi jetniki v preiskovalnem zaporu grdo ravnali in so kršitve tako težke, da »vzbujajo živ nemir«. Kar tudi vznemirja, je zopetni izbruh aretacij zaradi verskega prepričanja.
Francoska Mednarodna zveza za človekove pravice (AIDH) je ob olimpijskih igrah poslala predsedniku socialistične Jugoslavije pismo, kjer med drugim pravi: »Dajte znamenje dobre volje vsemu svetu, vsem, ki jih vabite v Sarajevo. Ob olimpijskih igrah izpustite vse politične in verske jetnike! Takšna kretnja bi bila zelo v skladu z duhom olimpijske listine in bi bila lep dokaz vaše gostoljubnosti...« Nič takega se ni zgodilo, oblastniki se obupno bojijo vsake opozicije, ki je najbolj varno spravljena za zamreženimi okni ječe.
»Le 50 kilometrov zračne črte od Sarajeva, kjer pri olimpijskih igrah zelo poveličujejo ideale svobode, se nahajajo zapori v Foči in Zenici,« piše Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. »Ptav n Foče jo šele pred nekaj tedni prispe) ns

KOROTANOV KONCERT
CLEVELAND, O. - V soboto, 26. maja, bo ob 7.30 zvečer podal v dvorani SND na St. Clair Ave. svoj vsakoletni pomladanski koncert pevski zbor Korotan.
Vsako društvo ali organizacija se spreminja in raste bodisi v pozitivni ali negativni smeri. Tako tudi Korotan, ki je dobil novega pevovodjo, ko je g. ing. Gorenšek prepustil to mesto g. Rudiju Knezu. Razveseljivo je, da bo Korotan nadaljeval svoje kulturno delo in nam ohranjal slovensko pesem v zdomstvu. Več kulturnih organizacij je moralo preneha-
ti z delovanjem, ker ni bilo ljudi, da bi jih vodili in v njih delovali.
Korotan bo pod vodstvom novega dirigenta podal program narodnih in umetnih pesmi iz prejšnjih koncertov; veliko pa bo tudi novih skladb, ki jih je Korotan naštudiral prav za ta koncert. Program bo izvajal moški, ženski in mešani zbor.
Prav je, da delo Korotana nagradimo s številnim obiskom njegovega koncerta. Za zabavo bo po koncertu igral orkester Veseli Slovenci.
M.O.
jim ne priznavajo niti zaporniških pravic...« Med podpisniki sta tudi dva frančiškanska novinca, in sicer novic Franjo Vidovič, ki je bil obsojen na 6 let zapora, ker je v svoji pesmi opisal, kako je jugoslovanska policija umorila njegovega očeta in deda, in pa novic Ivan Turudič, ki je dobil 5 let in 6 mesecev zapora, ker so pri njem našli prepovedan tisk, posebno nekaj člankov iz Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitunga.
V znani jetnišnici v Lepoglavi, kjer sedi tudi 47-letni ekonomski znanstvenik, Hrvat Marko Veselica, obsojen na
11 let, ker je poslal na Zahod poročilo o pogojih za demokratizacijo Jugoslavije, so jetniki prosili, da bi v svetem letu mogli prejeti zakramente (spoved in obhajilo). V odgovor so jih zaprli v samice, pretepli in končno spustili kriminalne jetnike nad politične. »Jugoslavija je dežela, ki se rada kaže kot svobodna,« nadaljuje F.A.Z. »Olimpijske igre hočejo doseči prav to. Jetnikom pa odklanjajo sleherno versko tolažbo...«
Pod naslovom »Videz in resničnost« piše Siiddeutsche Zeitung, da so Jugoslovani delali za olimpijske zimske igre z zavzetostjo in naporom sil, da bi se svetu predstavili v naj-lepši luči. Toda o tem, »kako je z življenjsko kakovostjo posameznega državljana znotraj države, ali živi res v svobodi, pa razkošni hoteli in steze za smuk, pa tudi zelo veseli govori ob odprtju iger nič ne povedo.« V stadione in hotele, asfalt in turistično industrijo odeto mesto Sarajevo kaže varljivo podobo resničnosti, ki je ni mogoče zakriti, tudi če bi se športni poročevalci dali speljati od sedaj nakopičene blagovne ponudbe, da bi spregledali tedne dolge odklopi-tve toka v tej zimi in dolgoletno pomanjkanje osnovnih živil.
Teh nekaj primerov luči in teme, ki so se tako očitno pokazali ob priliki priprav olimpijskih iger in jih poteku, naj zadostuje, da se izpriča ena resnica. In ta resnica je: Kakšna nepopravljiva moralna, gospodarska in politična škoda je zadela narode v Jugoslaviji, v prvi vrsti Slovence, ko je njihovo izredno tehniško sposobnost, kreativnost in ljubezen do svobodnega športa zatemnila ob XIV. olimpiadi politična diktatura in gospodarska budaiost državnih oblastnikov. Kdo more to škodo vsaj omiliti?

Jolietska skupina ima zelo predano vodstvo in vsaka prireditev, ki jo pripravijo, vedno znova izpade boljše, kot so sami pričakovali. Bog blagoslavlja njihovo zvestobo misijonskim idealom.

po predsednici ge. Anici Tushar zahvalna pisma misijonarke Terezije Pavlič iz Madagaskarja; g. Štefana Burje iz Kenije, ki piše, kako pomagajo mesečno 1500 materam z
malimi otroki, posebej s pomočjo od ameriškega »Catholic Relief Service«; za pomoč se zahvaljuje tudi bratu g. Jože Horn iz Argentine.
Ga. Mary Pirjevec iz Gilber-ta je obnovila enoletno vzdrže-valnino za svojega bogoslovca z 250 dolarji in dodala je $2 v dar, v spomin rajne Frances Malloy. Bogoslovec ge. Pirjevec bo posvečen v juliju. Potem bo prevzela novega kandidata. Smo dobili od dveh škofov sedaj vrsto novih kandidatov za podpiranje; iz Gha-ne, kjer je bila vrsta že vzdrževanih in posvečenih, in iz Ugande.
Molimo za pionirja Janeza Kemperle iz Pickeringa, Ontario, in gdč. Julko Zarnik iz Toronta, ki se še zdravi po padcu na ledeni cesti.

Šmarnice v južni Kaliforniji
Pretekli torek smo objavili «članek o majniških šmarnicah, ki jih bodo praznovali Slovenci v južni Kaliforniji v nedeljo, 20. maja, ob pol eni uri v cerkvi Srca Jezusovega v Etiwandi, Kalifornija. Darovana bo sv. maša v slovenskem jeziku, venčali bodo kip nebeške Matere, peli njene litanije in zaključili z blagoslovom Najsvetejšega. Po slovesnosti pa se bodo zbrali v župnijski dvorani k prijateljskem sestanku in domačemu kosilu, ki bo postreženo za zmerno ceno. Med Slovenci ob tej priliki bo tudi škof dr. Jožef Smej iz Maribora, ki bo zastopal škofa Franca Krambergerja, škof Smej bo seveda nadaljeval pot v Lemont in tudi v Cleveland. Njegova slika in več podatkov o njem boste našli spodaj v tem poročilu. Na šmarnice v Etiwandi so vljudno vabljeni vsi v južni Kaliforniji bivajoči Slovenci in Slovenke. Č.g. Ignacij Štrancar je poslal ob tej priliki daljši članek, ki sledi:
Etiwanda
Etiwanda leži nekako 60 milj vzhodno od Los Angelesa. Naslov cerkve je: Sacred Heart Church, 12704 Foothill Blvd. Potujoč po avtocesti št. 10 (1-10) od zahoda, vzemite odcep proti severovzhodu na cesto št. 15 (1-15) do Foothill Blvd., od vzhoda pa po isti avtocesti št. 10 do Etiwanda Ave. in po njej do Foothill Blvd. in nato malo na levo do cerkve.
Škof Jožef Smej
Bil je na sv. Ane dan 26. julija lanskega leta, ko me je prijatelj g. Franc Horvat poklical po telefonu: »Govoril sem z našim škofom,« mi pravi. Jaz mu odgovorim: »Kako je to mogoče, ker je naš škof na počitnicah v Novi Zelandiji?« »Z našim škofom Smejem iz Bogojine,« mi pravi s ponosom. »Povabil sem ga, naj pride v Ameriko na naše šmarnice 1984 in mi je obljubil.«
Obiski v Ameriki Škof dr. Jožef Smej in g. Jožef Horvat prispeta na new-yorško letališče 14. maja. Od tod gresta v Bridgeport, Conn. Tam ostaneta dva dni. Dne 16. maja poletita v Washington, D.C. obiskat tamkajšnje Slovence in naše narodno svetišče Brezmadežne. Od 18. do 23. maja se bosta mudila v Etiwandi in po južni Kaliforniji, k>er bosta gosta g. Franca Horvata. Dne 23. maja bosta
Škof dr. Jožef Smej
odšla v Chicago in Lemont, 111., od tod pa v Cleveland, Ohio. Dne 30. maja popoldne se tam poslovita od Amerike in se vrneta preko New Yorka in Dunaja v slovensko domovino.
Škof dr. Jožef Smej kot tudi oba gospoda Franc in njegov nečak Jože Horvat - in še tudi rajni bratranec g. Jože Varga, župnik sv. Lovrenca v Clevelandu - so prišli na svet v Bogojini. Bogojina je župnija v Prekmurju in šteje 3.000 faranov. Bogojina je dala Cerkvi več duhovnikov, kot katera koli druga fara v Sloveniji. Leta 1972. se jih je zbralo 24 duhovnikov, največ iz same vasi Bogojine, in jih še danes deluje v pastirstvu 16 duhovnikov. Zato Bogojina zasluži, da ima čast prvega slovenskega

škofa iz Prekmurja!
Prekmurje
Slovenci v avstro-ogrskem cesarstvu smo živeli večina v pokrajinah avstrijske polovice, dočim so Slovenci onstran Mure v ogrskem kraljestvu do razpada cesarstva leta 1918. Takrat so bili združeni z ostalimi Slovenci, ki so prišli v prvo jugoslovansko državo.
Prekmurje je slovensko o-zemlje vzhodno od reke Mure, ki je mejila med obema polovicama Avstro-ogrske monarhije, meji sedaj na Madžarsko na vzhodu in na Avstrijo na severu. To ozemlje vzhodno od Mure je bilo v madžarskem delu cesarstva in cesar je bil tudi madžarski kralj.
Čeprav so tako imenovani Panonski Slovenci živeli pod madžarskim vplivom in so bile vse njihove šole v madžarskem jeziku ter so cerkveno spadali v madžarsko škofijo v Sombo-teliju, in še, da so bili ločeni od ostalih Slovencev, so vkljub temu ohranili slovenski jezik in ostali globoko verni in zvesti katoliški veri.
Po prvi svetovni vojski so prišli pod cerkveno upravo škofa v Mariboru. Mariborska velika škofija obsega vso štajersko in prekmursko ozemlje v Sloveniji in ima dva škofa: ordinarija dr. Franca Krambergerja in, od lanskega leta, pomožnega škofa dr. Jožeta Smeja.
Šmarnice
Lepo misel, da bi se Slovenci iz južne Kalifornije zbirali na skupne sestanke vsaj enkrat na leto je sprožil g. Franček Žebot, ki je ob nekem obisku pri g. Jožetu Snoju, tedaj pomožnem župniku v Coroni. Obema se je zdela dobra misel, da bi se shajali kot v domovini po lepi slovenski navadi za šmarnice. To je bilo že leta 1951.
Razposlali so vabila in imeli lep uspeh. Po dveh letih v Coroni, so tretje leto šli v cerkev sv. Jožefa v Fontani. Fontana ima največjo skupnost Slovencev v južni Kaliforniji, kjer so bili do zadnjega zaposleni v Kaiserjevih železarnah.
Leta 1953. je škof iz San Diega poslal g. Franca Horvata v Etiwando, ki je blizu Fontane, naj tam ustanovi novo župnijo. Čeprav je bila v novi župniji samo ena slovenska družina, je bila Etiwanda najbližje središče in tako so od tega leta praznovali šmarnice v Etiwandi, kjer je bil za župnika g. Franc Horvat, do svoje upokojitve leta 1971 in g. Jože Snoj do svoje upokojitve lanskega septembra.

Vetrinjska tragedija
Nebo je otožno in sivo, izdan je s prevaro lažnivo-branilec slovenskih vasi.
Poslednja še pesem se čuje, še kamen ob poti žaluje; le Križani daje moči.
Postaja, živinski vagoni in človek kot hijena v zakloni -prinaša le kletev in smrt.
Vsa trnjeva pot se pričenja, na Golgoto strmo se vzpenja, in polje krvavi je prt.
Na oknu pa nagelj rdeči in sanje najdražje o sreči -ubila je tema prevar.
Gozdovi kočevski ječijo, a srca v slovo govorijo:
“Ne zabite bratov nikdar"!

- Število in struktura
slovenske partije -
Gorica, It. — Iz Naših razgledov povzemamo: Leta 1945 je Komunistična partija Slovenije štela okrog 8.500 članov, med njimi 1.070 kmetov. Sedaj šteje Zveza komunistov Slovenije 126.000 članov, med njimi je le še 331 kmetov. Na vsakih trideset naselij pride torej en kmet komunist. Partija naj bi bila stranka delavcev.
Oba sta skrbela in vsako leto povabila odlične cerkvene govornike. Tukajšnji Slovenci se še dobro spominjajo g. Vi-tala Voduška, kot dobrega govornika in pevca, ki je vsako leto prihajal za šmarnice. On je bil tudi dobra duša, ki je združeval vse Slovence v Kaliforniji.
Med drugimi govorniki so bili tudi mons. Leon Kristanc iz Stocktona, misijonar g. Janez Mlakar, p. Atanazij Lovrenčič iz Lemonta, 111., g. Stanko Jazbec in drugi.
Vsa ta leta že vodi petje in spremlja na orgle ga. Florence Strnad, ki pripelje svojo skupino Fontanskih pevk, katerim se pridružita z lepim glasom g. Stanko in njegova sestra Francka Jazbec.

toda v ZKS je le še kakih 30% delavcev, vsi ostali so uradniki, profesorji, tj. intelektualci. Včasih so jim rekli »buržuji«.
Druga značilnost: kadar gre za izstopanje iz ZKS, so prvi kmetje, za njimi takoj delavci. Leta 1982 je bilo med izključenimi iz ZKS 51% delavcev.
Tretja značilnost: Vernost porašča prav med delavci in kmeti, najmanj med intelektualci, ki jih je v ZKS največ.
Četrta značilnost: Matjaž Jevnišek, predsednik Univerzitetne konference Zveze socialistične mladine v Ljubljani, je v intervjuju odgovoril, da se na univerzi malo rekrutira za ZKS. »V mojem letniku smo v treh letih sprejeli dva nova člana. Na osnovnih organizacijah na univerzi so veseli vsakogar, ki pride, ne glede na to, od kod prihaja.« In še tisti, ki pri" dejo, prihajajo predvsem iz oportunizma. Vprašanje se je namreč glasilo: »Ali je res, da študentje ‘silijo’ v ZK šele pro* ti koncu študija, ko so na vidiku službe?« Odgovor: »Najbrž bo držalo. Načelo moralnopolitične neoporečnosti je pač še vedno preveč povezano s članstvom v ZK«.

Slovenci v Pennsylvaniji - včeraj, danes in jutri
Profesor Jože Paternost je profesor na slavističnem oddelku Pennsylvanijske državne univerze v State Collegu, Pa. V svojih raziskavah se zanima predvsem ia uporabo slovenskega jezika med ameriškimi Slovenci,*tako pravih naseljencev kot njih potomcev. S tem v zvezi je že objavil več razprav, v ZDA in tudi v slovenskih znanstvenih revijah. Leta 1982 je v strokovni reviji International Review oj Slavic Linguistics objavil sociolingvistično študijo o Slovencih v Pennsylvaniji. Razprava je sicer pisana v angleščini in ako se bi za njo kdo zanimal, se lahko obme na kako univerzitetno knjižnico ali pa na prof. Paternosta samega (sicer ne vem, ako ima še kaj izvodov te študije) na Pennsylvania State University, Dept, za Slavic Languages, N-438 Bu-towes Bldg., University Park, PA 16802.
Paternostovo študijo je zelo dobro in objektivno ocenil Janko Moder, slovenski strokovnjak, ki se zanima za slovenščino med ameriškimi Slovenci, v reviji Rodna gruda (nov. 1983), sicer uradno glasilo SIM v Ljubljani. Upam, da ocena spodbudila tiste, ki se za to problematiko zanima-j°' da preberejo celotno študijo, katera se res nanaša na Slovence starejših t.j. predvojnih generacij in njih potom-cev, ugotovitve pa v večji ali manjši meri veljajo tudi izven Pennsylvanije in za povojno generacijo. Hvaležni smo lahko Prof. Paternostu, ki na visoki strokovni ravni raziskuje na Področju ameriško-slovenske skupnosti ter svoje študije °bjavlja v uglednih revijah brez kake samopohvalne fan-fare. Ur.

imeni, na primer Kranjska. To je dalo za prebivalca razne oblike v amerikanščini: Gro-nner, Granner, Griner, Krainer, Kreiner (saj je v bližini Johnstowna celo kraj Krayn). V novejšem času pa poleg Slovenije velja za domovino staršev tudi Jugoslavija.
Glede znanja slovenščine so odgovori takile: 45% zna dobro (brez težav), nekateri med njimi celo zelo dobro, 26% srednje (še kar), drugi pa za silo, revno ali sploh nič. Na vprašanje, kdaj in kje govorijo slovensko, so odgovorili: večinoma priložnostno, 145 s sorodniki, 140 s prijatelji, 112 doma, 74 s sosedi. Na vprašanje, kdaj in kje so se naučili slovenščine: 184 doma, 5 v šoli, 19 doma in v šoli.
S tem je seveda v nujni povezavi tudi branje. Koliko je slovenščina ne le jezik vsakdanjih pogovorov v na splošno tujejezičnem okolju, temveč tudi, koliko in kaj berejo slovenskega. Pri tem je treba povedati, da je med vprašanci dobra tretjina gospodinj, precej rudarjev in jeklarjev, o-brtnikov, upokojencev, zlasti iz tretjega rodu pa tudi precej visokošolskih izobražencev. Skoraj vsi imajo še pismene stike s starim krajem, pa čeprav nekateri že tako, da pišejo v angleščini in dobijo odgovor v slovenščini.
Glede branja slovenskih knjig odgovori niso posebno spodbudni, še kar zadovoljivi pa so glede branja slovenskih časopisov: 70 jih bere tednike, 40 mesečnike. Med listi so seveda večinoma tudi že dvojezični: 124 Prosveta, 55 Ameri-kanski Slovenec, 42 Zarja, 38 Rodna gruda, 35 Nova doba -New Era, 24 Ave Maria, 12 Ameriška domovina.
Koliko je zavesti in volje za slovenščino še v nadaljnjih rodovih? Na vprašanje, kako bodo otrokom in vnukom omogočali učenje slovenščine: 68 sami jih bomo učili, 48 pošiljali jih bomo v šole. 7 dobili jim bomo učitelja. 5 poslali jih

bomo v Slovenijo. Na pitts-burškem področju je namreč le nekaj malega možnosti za večerne slovenske tečaje in pouk. Pri 40 vprašancih otroci ne kažejo zanimanja za slovenščino, (»se je ne želijo učiti«, »prepozno«, »pustimo to stvar pri miru«).
Na vprašanje: »Kolikšnega pomena je za človeka slovenskega rodu, da se v Združenih državah uči slovensko«, so od-
govorili: 109 pomembno, 35 izredno pomembno, 67 ni pomembno, 37 neodločno, 17 ni odgovora.
»Zakaj se čutite Slovenca?« Odgovori: 84 zaradi slovenskega rodu in sorodnikov, 39 zaradi rojstnega kraja, 35 zaradi časti in trdega dela, zaradi prijateljstva, 23 iz družbenih in kulturnih vidikov, 7 zaradi slovenščine.
»Kakšna je slovenska dediščina ali naj bo?« Odgovori: 42 ohraniti slovenske navade in izročila, 39 negotovost, 25 društvene in verske dejavnosti, 18 ponos, čast, 16 stik s sorodniki, 13 priimki, 10 slovenščina.
Moder zaključuje svojo oceno z mnenjem, da je slovenščina na splošno v ZDA »še zmeraj presenetljivo živa celo v tretjem rodu«, kar -rekel bi - ne sledi iz branja prof. Paternostovega članka v angleščini. Nadaljuje Moder, da je dolžnost domovine (Slovenije) misliti na te potomce slovenskih naseljencev in preko učbenikov, Rodne grude in drugih sredstev olajšati povezavo med Slovenijo in temi še vedno narodno zavednimi ameriškimi Slovenci.
V juniju ali morda po naših poletnih počitnicah bom začel z objavo daljše prof. Paterno-stove študije o uporabi slovenščine med ameriškimi Slovenci, ki je izšla v ugledni slovenski slavistični reviji. Ur.

Chicago, 111. — Uprava Ameriške Domovine! Želite vprašanja in mnenje naročnikov! Moja prošnja: V petkovi številki (angleškem delu) objavljajte evangelije in berila p. Fortunata, ker je to ukinil list Amerikanski Slovenec. Zelo bo hvaležna
Anna Ahačič
(Odprti smo marsikateremu predlogu, da bi pa v angleški del začeli spravljati slovensko branje, do tega ne bo prišlo. Če bi pa prišli do več slovenskih strani na teden, potem bi bilo to mogoče, seveda pod pogojem, da bi se p. Fortunat in lastnik našega lista o tem dogovorila. V sedanjih razmerah ni prostora še za to. Ta petek pa boste opazili pri A. D. nekaj novega, ako bo nam uspelo. Tiskali bomo namreč 12 strani. Na tiskarskem stroju so sedaj posebni deli, ki omogočajo tiskanje 4 strani namesto dosedanjih 8 ali 16. To pomeni, da lahko tiskamo tudi
Pred nedolgim je iz tiska prišla knjiga, ki je ponovno razburkala strokovnjake, pol-strokovnjake in tudi del javnosti. Ronald McRae je izdal svojo že lani napovedano knjigo »Duhovne vojne«, v kateri podaja nekatere ugotovitve o raziskavah parapsiholoških pojavov v vojaške namene.
McRae med drugim v knjigi trdi, da je obrambni oddelek ZDA potrošil 6 milijonov dolarjev za raziskave izvenču-tnih zaznavanj in telepatije. Pentagon je zanikal takšne tr-dtive že pred izidom knjige, ker so o podobnem pisali pred avtorjem »Duhovnih vojn« že drugi. Uradni predstavnik je opozoril, da v proračunu ni niti dolarja zapisanega v ta namen.
Uradni glas zanikujejo izjave nekaterih vojaških osebnosti, kot je polkovnik John B. Alexander, ki je pisal, da obstajajo »orožja, ki delujejo na osnovi moči duha«, in da so

bila že preskušena. General Daniel O. Graham pa je zatrdil, da ni nobenega dvoma o tem, ali v ZDA vojska preskuša možnost psihičnih in para-psihičnih orožij in metod.
Fizik Russell Targ, ki je skupaj s Keithom Hararyjem napisal knjigo »Dirka uma«, prav tako potrjuje možnost, da v okviru psiholoških raziskav vojska raziskuje paranormalne pojave. Tudi »Dirka uma« je tik pred izidom.
Targ piše za nameček tudi o podobnih poskusih, ki menda potekajo na oni strani železne zavese. Pravi, da so v Sovjetski zvezi ponovili nekatere poskuse prenašanja vizualnih predstav s telepatijo, ki jih je on opravil za ameriško vojsko. Takšne poskuse po Targovem mnenju jemljejo sovjetski strokovnjaki zelo zares in jih izvajajo na visoki strokovni ravni.

Toronto, Ont. — Prilagam naročnino za petkovi izvod Ameriške Domovine. Ako je mogoče, bi rajše imela torkovo izdajo - seveda, če ni preveč komplikacij -, ker je več novic tudi iz Toronta.
Veliko uspeha in lep pozdrav vsem v uredništvu želi Pepca Zalar
(Spoštovana ga. Zalar tudi zastavlja vprašanje, ki zanima druge naročnike našega lista. Odločitev o tem je pri osebah v pisarni, ker kot urednik nimam o teh stvareh besede. Kakšna težava bi pošiljanje samo torkove številke pomenila za uslužbenke, tega ne vem. Omenil sem prošnjo in pravijo, da bi bilo precej sitnosti. Ako imate drugi vprašanje glede tega, naprošeni ste, da ga naslovite na pisarno.)

Gobetz Lectures on Minnesota Slovenians
niversary of Slovenian creative presence in Minnesota, we will proudly salute Minnesota Slovenians in all walks of life — among the nation’s highly respected workers, professionals, executives, musicians, businessmen, writers, bishops, generals, and admirals and members of the U.S. Congress and U.S. Olympic teams.”
This will be Dr. Gobetz’s third appearance in Minnesota. In 1977 he spoke on Slovenian contributions to America at the Yugoslav Heritage Conference at the University of Minnesota in Duluth. In 1981 he gave the keynote address on Slovenians, Croatians and Serbians at the annual conference of the Iron Range Historical Society and received a long, standing ovation from hundreds of listeners.
An author or editor of 14 books and numerous articles. Dr. Gobetz also gave scores of lectures on Slovenian and other ethnic studies topics at numerous universities, national and international scholarly conferences, Slovenian heritage days, festivals, young adult conferences, high schools, and on radio and TV programs. In 1978 at the International European Studies Conference, he presented the keynote lecture, ‘‘European Immigrants as Builders of
America,” which was broadcast by Voice of America to all European nations under its program.
The May 19th lecture will be the first comprehensive overview of 150 years of Slovenian
contributions to Minnesota.

Please notice I said this is usually the case. Maybe, again, Mr. Bayless is playing by his own set of rules. How terribly sad. How terribly unprofessional.
I could (and would, gladly)

Holmes Button Jamboree Slates for May 27th
^ Editor:
^ I have been shown an ^ editorial from the April 20 < Ameriška Domovina, which Z reported a hideous piece of > work, written by a Skip O Bayless, who slurred the peo-pie of Yugoslavian descent. I q could not allow such a piece to pass without a response.
^ To begin with, I am a col-lege student of Yugoslavian DC descent and very proud of it.
My heritage and roots are a ^ great part of me. I will never shun the people or places which have become part of me.
Secondly, I am a psychology major and an English minor — and can apply both these disciplines to my reply to Mr. Bayless’ article. It is basic psychology that ethnic slurs and prejudices (especially of the degree in which Mr. Bayless writes) are a sign of a very insecure person.
One gains a false self-esteem by knocking others down. Well, if Mr. Bayless feels so terribly inadequate and insecure, may I suggest a therapist?
Also, journalism is usually of a clear, unbiased nature. It is meant to produce a fair picture of a certain event (or person), leading the reader to draw his or her own conclusions.
Slavic Prejudices
Editor:
The article written by Skip Bayless of the Dallas Times and printed in the Iowa Sunday Register titled, “U.S. is paradise after life with Yugoslobs” concerning his stay in Sarajevo during the Winter Olympics is pure Slavic prejudice. The editors of both newspapers should have known that that kind of defamation belongs only in some scandal sheet.
The peoples of Yugoslavia today are living in dignity compared to life there before the turn of the century under the emperors and kings.
For Skip Bayless’ information he needs to be educated on a few Slovenian accomplishments.
Democracy was founded by Slovenes. It is well documented in the archives of the U.S. Congressional Library with initials of Thomas Jefferson who introduced it in America early in the 1800s.
Voinovich Answers Bayless
Dear Mr. Bayless:
I had been under the impression that the “Ugly American” syndrome had been banished once and for all. •
You, sir, are disconcerting evidence that it still flourishes much as a festering wound, threatening to infect other Americans who cultivate the qualities of sensitivity, tolerance and understanding toward those in other nations.
I’m referring to your unpar-donably shallow and shabby article (published in the Des Moines. Sunday Register on Feb. 26, 1984) whining about some personal inconveniences you experienced in Sarajevo. I would have writter much earlier, but the article was called to my attention only recently.
I could not believe that any responsible American (reporter or otherwise) would reduce himself or herself to the level of using such contemptuous language as yours (“Yugoslobs”) or that any respectable paper would so dishonor itself by being party to an insult which brands its source as unfeeling and ignorant.
Your story was much like a photograph taken by a rank amateur: lacking in depth, lacking in definition and lacking in perspective — so out of focus that it deserves nothng more than contempt. That you would write such a story as yours staggers the imagination; that a newspaper would print it even more so. Little wonder, then, why so many Americans have become disenchanted with newspapers capable of such distortions.
€ happen to be of Yugoslav
descent and I know, personally, the eminently fine virtues which characterize the people of that fine nation.
I am also an American who worries terribly about the poor impressions made on the peoples of other countries by pampered Americans — well coiffed, properly manicured and reeking with the latest lotions and colognes — who predicate the nobility of a people on the basis of plumbing
and their virtue on the national cuisine.
The most backward person of any country, sir, knows well what you have failed to learn: that life is more than Holiday Inns and decency much more than deodorants.
I can express only the most profound contempt for your rudeness and I insist, sir, that you apologize to both Americans and Yugoslavs alike whom you have wounded so thoughtlessly and unnecessarily.
You own an apology, too, to those of your colleagues who know that sensitivity, perception and perspective are fundamental parts of any newspaper story.
Sincerely,
George V. Voinovich
Mayor
City of Cleveland
The sport of skiing was founded in Slovenia in the 17th century and documented in a book written by Johan Vajkard Valvasor published in 1689. I have the book. Today the sport of skiing encompasses the entire world as a winter sport for anyone to enjoy, including Skip Bayless.
Skip Bayless needs an education in culture, which today is one of Slovenia’s largest industries. He should visit them, but leave his prejudices in Iowa and Texas as well as that yellow dog journalism against one of America’s largest ethnic minorities, Slavic peoples.

Denounces Reckless Writing
Editor:
Responding to your magnificent editorial denouncing the outrageously reckless reporting on Yugoslavia by Dallas Times Herald Reporter Skip Bayless, Mayor Voinovich followed your suggestion and sent a letter to Mr. Bayless in care of the newspaper Zajed-nicar.
Mayor Voinovich, it is obvious, agrees wholeheartedly with your condemnation of what stands as a new low in American journalism.
The mayor asked that we send you a copy of his letter along with his cordial personal greetings and his high praise for an exemplary editorial which deserves the gratitude of Yugoslavs and Americans alike.
On a personal note, may I — as one who spent more than 25 years at the old Cleveland Press — join the mayor in saluting you for denouncing what any reasonable reporter would abhor as a disgrace to the craft of journalism.
Very truly yours,
Norman N. Mlachek Assist. Press Secretary

Who can say exactly how much a child learns at the knee of his mother?
He learns to worship God in the beautifully simple prayers she teaches him. He learns to show respect for his fellow man in the the manners she teaches him. Above all, he learns that he is loved, special and cared for. But she gives him so many more things, great and small, that it is impossible for him to know them all.

Father Vendelin Spendov narrated "Pozdravljena Kraljica”. Father Spendov was born in Slovenia, entered theological studies in Rome where he was ordained a priest in 1947. He taught at St. Mary’s Seminary in Lemont, Illinois for three years. Enrolling in graduate studies at De P§yl University he received his Master of Music degree in 1957.
Rev. Vendelin Spendov is known among the Chicago area Slovenians for his work in music both as a conductor and a composer. From 1954 to 1967 he directed the St. Stephens Church choir and from 1958 to 1967 the Slovenian Youth Chorus. He also taught singing at Slovenian School in Chicago.
In 1967 he was accepted to the prestigious Academy of Sacred Music in Rome, Italy and there received a doctorate in church music in 1975. He was then appointed regens-chori of the Franciscan Church in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He held this positon until 1974 when he returned to the United States.
Presently, in addition to serving as pastor of St. Stephens in Chicago, he directs the Slovenska Pesem Chorus and the Prešeren Singing Society.
Other featured composers were Jacobus Gallus (1550-1591) also known as Jacob Handl, long considered one of the outstanding com-

posers of the late sixteenth century. In an age noted for prolific composers, Handl was among the most prolific; between 1579 and 1591 he wrote over 500 vocal compositions.
Handl (Petelin) was probably born at Ribnica between April 15 and July 31, 1550. He died in Prague, July 19, 1591. Handl may originally have been called Petelin, meaning “rooster” of which “Handl” is the German diminutive and “Gallus” the Latin Equivalent.
Another of the most popular composers which was featured is Lojze Mav, born in 1898. He studied with Premrl for a while and then went on his own. He wrote prolifically and his works both sacred and secular number over 2,000.
The great difference between Premrl and Mav is in the melodic treatment versus the harmonic treatment. For Premrl the most important factor is harmony, for Mav it is melody. Mav’s style is a late-romantic one impregnated with realism and some im-pressinistic tendencies. On occasions it is close to the style of Cesar Franck.
The last composers works to be featured was Ignatius Hlad-nic (1895-1932). The gap between the old anti-Cecilian singing and modern church music in Slovenia is honorably filled by Ignatius Hladnik. Beside being a prolific composer, he was an excellent organist. According to Man-tuani, Hladnik was considered the best organist in Yugoslavia at that time and a great extemporizer.
In the School for Organists in Ljubljana, he learned all the strict rules of harmony, counterpoint and musical forms from Anton Foerster and Angelic Hribar. He did not stay long with these theories but succeeded to build a style of his own which was unique in Slovenian literature.
Also featured in the concert were Lisa Mogilka, soprano, a member of the Pevski Zbor Uspeh and Flute Obbligato, Ann Toperzer and George Lipovšek, another member of the uspeh Chorus, a baritone
soloist.
The director of the Pevski Zbor Uspeh is Professor Leo Muskatevc of the Fine Arts Dept.
He is a graduate of State Teachers, Major Music Education. He studied Liturgical Music at Alverno College, graduated from DePaul University where he majored in conducting and music education. He is the son of the late Cyril and Katerina Muskatevc well known for their activities in the Slovenian community.
He organized the Pevski Zbor Uspeh five years ago.
Rev. A. Gole narrated composer Paul Sifler’s “Seven last Words of Christ On The Cross.”
Father Gole was born in Dobrnič, Yugoslavia. He studied at the State Universities in Ljubljana, Vienna, Austria and Graz, Austria. Presently he teaches at Marquette University and the Sacred Heart of Theology. He also has Pastoral duties at St. John the Evengelist Church.
A lavish reception faturing Slovenian foods, pastries and wines was held following the program.

At the April meeting of the Slovenian Pensioners Club of Euclid, the Euclid Rockettes showed us that senior citizens can still enjoy life.
At the May 2 meeting at the Slovenian Society Home, Cap-tain Edward Kovacic, Sergeant Sam Hennie, and Patrolman Lou Grove told how senior citizens can protect themselves in their homes and on the streets against crime aimed especially at senior citizens. Of great interest and really helpful were their descriptions of “con” games which usually victimize the elderly.
Ann Mrak reminded us that the King’s Musical Instrument trip is on May 22 and payment is due within the week for the June 16 trip to see La Perichole.
Pauline Burya and Nettie Mihelich volunteered to represent our club at the yearly meeting of the stockholders of the Slovene Home for the Aged on May 18 at the Waterloo Workmen’s Home.
An interesting meeting of representatives of 22 clubs of retired people took place in Euclid under the leadership of Mayor Giunta. It seems that closed Euclid Shore High School, 222 Street and Babbitt Road, may be re-opened as a senior citizen center with no monetary responsibility by the people who will use the center. Sounds good just to have a center but the ample parking facilities there certainly is an added attraction.
Again we are delighted we have lost no members through death during April; a moment

What’s the Latest on Bypass Surgery?
What are the latest findings on the effectiveness of coronary bypass surgery in treating patients with mild to moderate symptoms of coronary artery disease?
Coronary artery bypass surgery was first attempted in the late 1960s on patients with severe angina. During the last decade a number of major im-
provements have been made in the surgical techniques.
The effects of the operation in relieving the symptoms of angina are the increasingly widespread availability of experienced surgical teams lead to a substantial increase in the number of operations performed each year. In 1981, for instance, an estimated 159,000
patients underwent the surgical procedure in this country.
Essentially, coronary artery bypass surgery is a procedure that installs vein grafts, taken from the patient’s leg, to bypass clogged portions of arteries in the heart. Many surgeons have recommended the bypass operation as a
How Much Potassium Do We Need?
Potassium is very important for nerves and muscles to work normally. About 98 percent of the body’s potassium is inside the cells; the remaining two percent is found in the body fluids that bathe the cells. When a body is healthy, this ratio of potassium is maintained to allow the cells to function normally.
An important part of normal functioning of the heart and intestinal muscles is controlled by the balance of potassium between the inside of the cells and in the fluids bathing the cells.
Potassium also plays a role in the insulin secreting function of the pancreas as well as in the proper function of other
Choking
What To Do In An Emergency
Choking, the sixth leading cause of accidental death in this country, occurs when food or some other foreign object blocks the windpipe or air passages to the lungs. Large, poorly chewed pieces of food can cause choking. In adults, the food is usually meat; in children, it may be food or any object small enough to Ut in their mouths.
If you see someone choking, ask the person to try to speak. Any sound, even strangled choking noises or hoarse coughing, means the airway is only partially blocked. In this case, don’t interfere. Coughing is the body’s natural defense against choking, and it may clear away whatever is blocking the windpipe.
However, if you see any evidence of difficulty in breathing and the person is unable to make any sounds, the airway is totally blocked and no oxygen is reaching the lungs.
In this case, you must act immediately. Every second counts. A person cannot live without oxygen for more than four to six minutes. If time allows, call your fire department rescue squad, but don’t stand around waiting for them to come. If you have been unable to dislodge the object from the person’s throat by the time the fire department arrives, its trained personnel can take over.
Meanwhile, you can help. Several firm blows to the back of a choking person is often effective in clearing an obstructed airway. If this does not work, the next step should
Thank You

She wishes to express her thanks and appreciation to family and friends who sent get well cards, gifts, and to those who visited and for the prayers offered for her well being.
She hopes to return to her duties as parish secretary at St. Christine’s by the middle of June. Meanwhile, Miss Lavona Avitt, a parishioner, is filling in.
be the Heimlich maneuver. Developed by Dr. Henry Heimlich, this maneuver is recognized by many in the health care field today as an effective way to assist a choking person.
Stand behind the person and use both hands to press closed fists into the abdomen slightly below the lower end of the breast bone, thumb side against the abdomen. An inward and upward thrust forces a flow of air from the lungs, which in turn expels the object from the airway. You may find it necessary to repeat the Heimlich maneuver several times before you are successful.
If the person is seated, kneel behind his chair and reach around the back of the chair to perform the maneuver. If the person has fallen unconscious to the floor, place him on his back, face upward and then kneel astride his thighs, facing him. Place one hand on top of the other with the heel of your bottom hand slightly above the navel and below the rib cage. Press inward and upward on the abdomen with a quick thrust as many times as is necessary to dislodge the object.
This latter method should be used if you cannot reach around the victim’s waist.
If you are alone and you are choking, you can place a fist on your abdomen, grasp it with the other hand and press into your abdomen with a series of thrusts until you have expelled the object.
The Heimlich maneuver should never be practiced on a non-choking person because of the potential for damage to the ribs and underlying organs. There are several simple ways to reduce your risks of choking. Cut your food into small pieces and chew slowly and thoroughly. Avoid laughing and talking while chewing and swallowing food. This is especially important to teach children who tend to be active at the dinnertable.
Avoid excessive intake of alcohol before and during meals. Don’t let children run and play with food, candy or other small objects in their mouths. And keep small objects out of reach of small children and infants.
endocrine glands, most notably the adrenals. Potassium also affects how our kidneys produce a concentrated urine when necessary.
What happens when our bodies have either too much or too little potassium?
Since potassium is found in many fruits and vegetables, especially avocados, bananas, potatoes, oranges, beef and nuts, it is rare for a healthy person eating a balanced diet to suffer either a deficiency or excess of potassium.
Potassium is readily absorbed through the digestive tract. What is in excess is excreted through the kidneys. Normally, our kidneys excrete potassium in response to the amount we ingest.
However, when our bodies retain or lose too much potassium, a variety of problems can develop, particularly abnormalities of the heart rhythm, muscle weakness and damage to the kidneys.
Potassium deficiency is more common than retention of excess potassium. Postassium may be lost through intestinal fluids during prolonged and severe vomitting or diarrhea.
But the single most common cause of potassium deficiency is the use of diuretics, often prescribed to control high blood pressure. Virtually all the currently prescribed diuretics cause the kidneys to lose some potassium, with the exception of those few termed “potassium sparing.” These may, in rare cases, actually cause the kidneys to retain too much potassium.
Rarely does a person develop serious potassium deficiency or depletion from commonly prescribed diuretics. Such loss is usually insignificant.
Doctors who prescribe a diuretic for control of hypertension generally will monitor a patient’s potassium levels by periodic blood tests. This spares the majority of patients from taking expensive and usually unnecessary potassium supplements.

preventive measure because they were concerned that death or a major incapacitating heart attack would occur.
In 1973 the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS) was organized with the support of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The purpose of the study was to determine whether prompt elective coronary artery bypass surgery would reduce the death rate of patients with mild to moderate angina or of those who had survived a heart attack but had no angina symptoms.
The results, released in October 1983, were somewhat surprising to physicians, because an earlier study on coronary artery surgery, done in Europe, had shown a better survival rate for patients who had surgery as compared to those who were only treated medically.
The CASS study found that it is safe to defer coronary bypass surgery for many patients with coronary artery disease until the symptoms become significantly worse and drug therapy no longer controls the pain.
The study found no difference in survival between those who underwent the bypass procedure and those treated aggressively with drug therapy. However, it did show that patients with angina pectoris, the chest pain accompanying coronary artery disease, obtained a significant degree of relief from surgery rather than from medications.
The CASS study which spanned 10 years and cost $24 million, involved 780 selected heart patients assigned randomly either to surgery or drug therapy at 11 hospitals or medical centers in the United States and Canada.
Dr. Thomas J. Ryan, chief of cardiology at University Hospital in Boston and principal investigator for the study at Boston University Medical Center, believes the study results will have a significant impact when doctors advise angina patients to have surgery.
Death and Taxes Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat,
Tax his crops, tax his work,
Tax his tie,
tax his shirt.
Tax his chew,
tax his smoke; Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are a rule.
Tax his oil,
tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash;
Tax him good
and let him know-After taxes
he has no dough.
If he hollers,
tax him more;
Tax him ’til
he’s good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod
in which he lays. Put these words upon his tomb: “Taxes drove me to my doom."
And after he’s gone he can’t relax; They’ll still be after Inheritance Tax.
