4 - PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV -
ZDA predložile vrsto verifikacijskih postopkov pri odstranitvi misilov srednjega dometa iz evropskega prostora
ŽENEVA, Švi. — Včeraj je ameriška delegacija predložila sovjetskim pogajalcem vrsto možnih verifikacijskih postopkov, nujnih za uresničitev sporazuma o odstranitvi vseh misilov srednjega dometa iz evropskega prostora. Sovjetska stran je v prejšnjih izjavah dejala, da načelno pristane na to, da bi bili potrebni pooblaščeni inšpektorji, ki bi imeli pravico obiskati kraje, kjer bi lahko bili misili postavljeni ali uskladiščeni, da se prepričajo, da takih misilov v omenjenih krajih ni. ZDA so predlagale npr., da bi morali obe strani pristati na obsežno izmenjavo podatkov o misilih, njih izstrelitvenih ploščadih in drugih za izstrelitev potrebnih napravah. Pri poskusnih izstrelitvah misilov bi ne smeli biti podatki, ki jih pošiljajo naprave na misilih med poletom, šifrirani. Dalje, ZDA želijo, da morata ostali obe strani glede omenjenih misilov vedno na tekočem.
Vodja sovjetske delegacije Viktor Karpov je rekel, da ZSSR razume, da v slučaju kakega sporazuma, seveda bi morali biti ameriški in NATO inšpektorji aktivni na sovjetskem in vzhodnoevropskem ozemlju, prav tako bi v Zahodno Evropo in tudi v ZDA prihajali sovjetski inšpektorji.
Karpov je rekel tudi, da so Sovjeti pripravljeni na ločena pogajanja o odstranitvi vseh raket kratkega dometa iz evropskega prostora. NATO države trdijo, da imajo Sovjeti postavljenih v svojem delu Evrope najmanj 650 takih raket — njih domet je od 300 do 600 milj —, NATO države same pa da nimajo nobenih takih misilov. Misili srednjega dometa, o katerih se sedaj pogajajo ZDA in ZSSR v Ženevi, imajo domet do 3000 milj, torej niso medcelinskega značaja. ZDA oz. NATO države imajo postavljenih v Evropi 316 takih misilov, katerih vsaka nosi samo eno jedrsko bombo. Sovjeti baje imajo le 243 takih misilov, vendar nosi vsaka kar tri jedrske bombe. Najdaljši doseg ameriških raket je do 1500 milj, sovjetski SS-20 misili Pa lahko točno zadenejo cilje, oddaljene do 3000 milj.
Včeraj so Sovjeti izvedli podzemeljski jedrski poskus v Kazahstanu. Gre za drugi Poskus v času, ko so Sovjeti prekinili moratorij, ki so ga bili sami proglasili. ZDA se niso hotele moratoriju pridružiti.
Posebni tožilec lahko nadaljuje s preiskavo iransko-contra zadeve — Nekateri bivši uradniki bodo obtoženi nezakonitih dejanj
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je zvezni okrajni sodnik Barrington D. Parker zavrnil pritožbo odvetnikov polk. Oliverja Northa, ki so bili trdili, da zvezni zakon, ki omogoča imenovanje posebnih tožilcev, ni ustaven. Parker sicer ni govoril o ustavnosti omenjenega zakona, dejal pa je, da ni še pra-v> čas za pritožbo glede ustavnosti zakona. To pomeni, da lahko nadaljuje s svojo prei-skavno posebni tožilec Lawrence E. Walsh. Walsha je imenoval pravosodni tajnik Edwin Meese. V intervjuju za televizijo, je 'Valsh dejal, da.namerava v 90 dneh pripra-viti obtožbe zoper nekatere igralce v iransko-contra zadevi, ni pa hotel povedati, kateri naj bi ti bili. Splošno mnenje pa je, da bo Prvi na vrsti ravno polk. North, morda ad-fuiral John Poindexter in še drugi.
Walshova preiskava je popolnoma neodvisna od tistih, ki jih bodo vodili kongresni odbori. Walsh se posvetuje s kongresniki v
želji, da bi ne ena preiskava škodovala drugi. Kongresne preiskave se bodo zanimale predvsem za to, kdo je dobil denar, pridobljen od prodaje orožja Iranu.
Predstavniški dom glasoval zoper podporo contra gverilcem — O lem bo glasoval tudi senat — Reagan bi vetiral zakonski osnutek
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Preteklo sredo je spodnji kongresni dom, v katerem imajo demokrati veliko večino, glasoval 230:196 za zakonski osnutek, ki bi preprečil za šest mesecev pošiljanje že v zadnjem kongresu odobrenih 40 milijonov dolarjev pomoči congra gverilcem. V teh 6 mesecih bi morala Bela hiša dokazati, kako je bil uporabljen denar, ki je že bil poslan contra gibanju. O tem osnutku bo sedaj glasoval senat, ki je Beli hiši bolj naklonjeno. Tudi v slučaju, da bi senatorji glasovali proti, bi predsednik Reagan zakonski osnutek vetiral, nasprotniki njegove politike do Nikaragve pa niso dovolj močni, da bi njegov veto razveljavili. Razveljavitev predsedniškega veta zahteva po ustavi dvotretjinsko večino na ločenem glasovanju v obeh kongresnih domovih.
— Kratke vesti —
Ottawa, Kan. — Kanadska vladaje pripravljena pristati na sojenje osebam, ki so obtoženi vojnih zločinov med drugo svetovno vojno. V Kanadi baje živi manjše število oseb, o katerih se govori, da so bili vojni zločinci.
Washington, D.C. — Reaganova vlada
je zaskrbljena nad politično situacijo v Egiptu. Namestnik državnega sekretarja John Whitehead je obiskal Egipt 27. in 28. februarja in se pogovarjal s predsednikom Hosni-jem Mubarakom. Egipt ima ogromne in rastoče gospodarske težave, muslimanski skrajneži pridobivajo na vpliv.
Hanoj, Vi. — Vietnamska vlada je pripravljena na pogajanja o ustavitvi 8 let trajajoče vojne v Kambodži. Vietnamci so pripravljeni na pogajanja s Kitajsko in drugimi deželemi jugovzhodne Azije, tudi tistimi, ki so tesno povezane z ZDA. Vietnamska pobuda sledi nedavnemu obisku sovjetskega zunanjega 'ministra Ševardnadzeja.
Washington, D.C. — Trgovinski tajnik
Malcolm Baldrige brani predlog, da bi mogla ameriška podjetja prodajati Iranu več računalnikov s potrebno opremo. Gre za dokaj zastarelo in splošno znano tehnologijo, je dejal Baldrige, in računalniki bi ne pomagali iranskim obrambnim ali policijskim silam. Iranci bi lahko računalnike kupili v marsikateri drugi državi. Vrednost kupčije je nekaj več kot milijon dolarjev.
Tegucigalpa, Hon. — Pretekli ponedeljek so honduraški lovci sestrelili tovorno letalo C-47, ki je bilo registrirano v ZDA. Ubiti so bili vsi štirje člani posadke, med njimi je bil tudi Američan. Domnevajo, da je bilo letalo povezano s trgovci mamila v Južni Ameriki, ubiti Američan je bil že pred leti obsojen radi takega trgovanja. ZDA zanikajo, da je bilo letalo povezano s pošiljanjem orožja contra gverilcem, čeprav to trdijo sandinisti v Nikaragvi.
Stockholm, Sve. — Švedska vlada bo predlagala ukinitev vsega trgovanja s Južno Afriko. Po 1. oktobru letos bi ne smela nobena švedska firma trgovati z Južno Afriko ali imeli podružnice ali zastopstva v tej deželi. Vendar so predlagane tudi določene izjeme, ki pa jih bo treba posebej ugotoviti.

Zgodovinsko poslanstvo
Zelo spoštovani urednik Ameriške Domovine se je že pred daljšim časom obregnil ob obnašanje in zadržanje slovenskih priseljencev po drugi svetovni vojni v Ameriko in Kanado, ki so prišli sem iz političnih razlogov in značaj svojega prihoda že ves čas označujejo kot politično emigracijo. Zadnjič smo ugotovili, da so množice teh nacionalno in kulturno zelo prebujenih ljudi mnogo bolj zdomci kot pa izseljenci. Isto velja tudi za tiste med njimi, ki so iz katerega koli razloga zavrgli motiv in smisel svojega odhoda na tuje kot beg pred nasiljem in upor zoper slovenstvu tuj, marksistični, brezbožni, diktatorski sistem vladanja. Od tedaj do danes se razmere v Sloveniji niso bistveno spremenile. Narod ima v kleščah isti režim kot pred 40 leti.
G. urednik je trdno prepričan, da je naglavni greh političnih priseljencev v tem, da ne prilagajajo dovolj svojega dela in ustanov tukajšnjim razmeram in mislijo »na obnovitev načinov organiziranega dela in gledanja, ki so morda bili v uporabi v Sloveniji, v begunskih taboriščih, ali celo v tukajšnjih povojnih naselbinah v prvih desetletjih«. Potem pa doda, da so »pri ohranjevanju kulturnih vrednot še vedno (doseženi) določeni uspehi, na političnem (področju) jih pa dosti ni...« Za vzrok temu navaja v prvem redu neenotnost v vrstah tistih, ki so politično zavedni v zavračanju diktatorskega režima v Sloveniji. Zdi se, da ima v mislih spore v domobranskih vrstah. Te spore pa primerja z veliko neenotnostjo med judovsko diasporo, ki se pa vedno zedini, ko gre za zbiranje pomoči za izraelsko državo, med tem ko »pri Slovencih tega slednjega ni«. Mislim, da primera ni dobra in ne drži.
Nobenega razloga ni za dvom, da imajo med seboj sprte aktivne skupine političnih emigrantov do stanja v domovini povsem isti odnos: odločno in dosledno zavračajo diktaturo komunistične partije, zahtevajo pa, in se na razne načine prizadevajo, da bi čimprej zavladala v domovini svoboda in demokracija, kakor tudi, da bi se Sloveniji zagotovila popolna državna neodvisnost. V tem so si edini, čeprav si med seboj kdaj skočijo v lase in morda imajo različne poglede na bodočo ureditev narodnega življenja. V ta namen iščejo s političnimi stiki s sorodnimi gibanji mednarodnega značaja pomoči pri zasledovanju svojih načrtov in se v ta namen poslužujejo demokratično izvoljenih enot kot je npr. Slovenski narodni odbor, ohranjevanje kontinuitete političnih strank, njihovo vključevanje v mednarodna politična gibanja v svobodnem svetu, uporabo tiskane besede in podobno. Vse to je živo in operativno. Komunisti to bolje vedo kot morda uredništvo AD, ker jim je osvobodilna akcija politične emigracije največji trn v peti, ki ga na vse mogoče načine skušajo izdreti in uničiti. Ko Izseljenska matica pošilja okrog razne ansamble in ekipe pod firmo kulturnih stikov s slovensko emigracijo, ali ko konzuli vabijo na razne prireditve in slične akcije — vse to ima v sebi politično jedro zmanjševanja odpora zoper režim in eliminacije političnih nasprotnikov. Gledano pod tem realističnim vidikom je sodelovanje s temi akcijami režima od strani političnih pri-
CLEVELAND, O. - Dramat-sko društvo LILIJA, prireja v nedeljo, 29. marca, ob 3.30 popoldne v Slovenskem domu na Holmes Ave., veseloigro v treh dejanjih »Ubogi samci«.
Včasih smo imeli po tri ali celo štiri igre letno; kdor misli, da je tudi ena preveč, naj tisto nedeljo ostane kar doma. Jaz bom prišel iz gole radovednosti, da se na lastne oči in ušesa prepričam, zakaj naj bi bili samci ubogi. Finančno so gotovo na boljšem kot so poročeni, z družinami, torej beseda ubogi ne more pomeniti isto kot revni. Kaj pa točno pomeni, bomo zvedeli v nedeljo, 29. marca.
LILIJA pravkar uspešno zaključuje svojo kegljaško sezono. Čez 70 kegljačev tekmuje, od najmlajših do tistih z osivelimi lasmi. Prevladuje seveda mladina in prav je tako! Ampak, če bi jih stehtali, bi gotovo sivolasci zmagali. Moštva so mešana, le »team« štev. 9 sestavljajo same ženske in
sicer:	Slavka Sečnik, Z.
Kavčič, Lenka Mišmaš, Milena Stropnik in Milka Krulc.
Kako ta »nežni spol« keglja, vam bo najbolje pojasnil naslednji primer: Moštvo štev. 10 sestavljajo: Vanči Radišek, Tone Nemec, Rudi Kolarič, Steve Denša in Mati Grdadolnik. Dvakrat smo kegljali z ekipo štev. 9 in od možnih 14 točk, so ženske odnesle kar 12. To pa je že od sile in strašno poniževalno za naš team. Nekdo »naših« je pripomnil, da če bi ženske ostale doma v kuhinji, kamor po vseh pravilih slovenske tradicije spadajo, se to ne bi zgodilo. Seveda je govoril bolj potiho, da ga ne bi katera slišala.
V nedeljo, 22. marca, bomo na kegljaškem banketu izvedeli, kdo vse bo dobil trofejo in zakaj, eno nedeljo, pozneje, 29. marca, pa bomo vsi skupaj prišli na igro «Ubogi samci«.

Nekaj o slovenskih oddajah »Glasa Amerike«
Kot je bilo razvidno tudi iz kratkih poročil v Ameriški Domovini, so slovenske oddaje Glasa Amerike zadnje čase spet zašle v težave.
V zvezi s sedanjimi prizadevanji zvezne vlade za skrčenje državnega deficita, je bila tudi United States Information Agency, v katere sklopu deluje Glas Amerike, prisiljena skrčiti svoj proračun. To ni nikdar lahko, pa tudi ne prijetno. Ker je v takih primerih najlažja pač tista pol, kjer je pričakovati najmanjši odpor, so se ljudje v upravi Glasa Amerike odločili, da okrnejo slovenske oddaje s tem, da sta bili ukinjeni sobotna in nedeljska oddaja. To pa je predstavljalo
28-odstotno znižanje.
Ker so bili v tej rundi skrče-vanja prizadeti samo Slovenci in to na tako neupravičeno oster način, je seveda sledila reakcija in intervencija ljudi, ki so jim slovenski interesi pri srcu. Tu je treba predvsem omeniti »prvega med nami«, bivšega senatorja Franka J. Lauscheta, ki se je zavzel za slovenske oddaje z vso močjo svojega ugleda, ki je še vedno neokrnjen.
S sen. Lauschetom vred pa so intervenirali tudi: zvezna poslanca Dennis Eckart iz Ohia in James Oberstar iz Minnesote, dalje ohijska senatorja Howard Metzenbaum in
seljencev in njihovih potomcev — s prav majhnimi izjemami — podpiranje stanje doma, zaradi katerega so bili dom zapustili in šli po svetu. Če je to v skladu s pokončnostjo človeka, je vprašanje. Taki ljudje pa postanejo »agenti« režima in njegove lutke — ko jih imenuje urednik — šele takrat, ko takšno sodelovanje širijo in priporočajo tudi drugim. Takrat ne mislijo več s svojo glavo, ampak so že zapadli intenzivni komunistični propagandi.
Ostro kritizira urednikovo pisanje tisti del zavedne politične emigracije, in potomstvo te emigracije, ki odklanja stike s pravkar zgoraj opisanimi političnimi uskoki, češ, da se s takim postopanjem »bolj in bolj zapira v zaprt, vedno manjši in manj vpliven krog«. A pomisliti velja na psihološko resnico, da je tistega, ki je omahnil s svoje začrtane poti, dosti težje nanjo spraviti nazaj kot usmeriti nanjo tistega, ki se ji sicer upira, a stoji pokonci. V tem je, se zdi, razlog, da zavedna povojna emigracija »v prizadevanju navezovati stike s takimi ljudmi..., ki so pripravljeni na razgovore tudi o občutljivih političnih stvareh v mirnejšem tonu«, ne vidi nikakega smisla. Približno isto velja — z majhnimi izjemami — za navezovanje stikov med predvojnimi in tu rojenimi generacijami in politično emigracijo. Ob pravkar praznovanj 30-letnici Baragovega doma v Clevelandu je bilo javno ugotovljeno, da je ta dom nastal zaradi odklonilnega stališča starih domov, da bi dali streho političnim priseljencem. Kje je torej krivda za odtujenost?
Besede v naslovu niso moje — izrekel jih je v Argentini, kjer deluje jedro politične emigracije, ljubljanski nadškof in slovenski metropolit dr. A. Šuštar. To ni navadno izseljenstvo, ampak odhod v tuji svet s posebnim zgodovinskim poslanstvom in nalogo, ki si jo sedaj zdomci po najboljših močeh prizadevajo izpolniti in jo tudi prenesti na naslednji rod. Ne obstaja samo v političnem delu, kot sem ga bežno zgoraj omenil (SNO, stranke, mednarodni stiki itd.), temveč
(dalje na str. 4)
John Glenn ter še nekaj drugih kongresnih predstavnikov. Pravtako so se za slovenske oddaje zavzeli clevelandski župan George V. Voinovich, prof. dr. Karl B. Bonutti in pa prof. dr. Edi Gobec. Dalje sta v intervencijah sodelovala tudi bivši kongresnik John Blatnik, polkovnik Edward Zeitz in prof. dr. William Derbyshire (Society for Slovene Studies).
Intervencija je bila uspešna in že v štirih tednih je bila odločitev preklicana, sobotne in nedeljske oddaje v slovenščini pa obnovljene. Ker je bil uspeh intervencije tako hiter, najbrž ni bila povzročena prevelika škoda med poslušalstvom v Sloveniji. Iz istega razloga morda tudi še ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti imena vseh zasebnikov, ki so se pravtako zavzeli za slovenske oddaje.
Toda: proces skrčevanja državnega proračuna še ni končan in isto velja tudi za Glas Amerike. Ob nedavni proslavi 45-letnice te ustanove, je direktor Richard Carlson sam opozoril, da bodo potrebna znižanja in skrčenja. To pa seveda pomeni, da so slovenske oddaje slej ko prej v isti nevarnosti.
Zakaj?
O teh stvareh odločajo predvsem birokrati in ti se ozirajo na takoimenovano lestvico »prioritet«, na kateri je navedena »pomembnost« nekega jezika. Glavno merilo pri tem pa je — število ljudi, ki občujejo v tem jeziku. Tu smo torej Slovenci nekje prav na dnu lestvice.
Toda, če primerjamo uspeh teh oddaj z odmevom med p°' slušalci, se pravi s pismi, ki j>^ prejemajo posamezne sekcije* je po najnovejših podatkih razvidno, da je slovenski odmev trikrat večji od srbohrvat' skega in šestkrat večji oC* češkoslovaškega. Razlika p°' stane še toliko očitnejša, upoštevamo, da so oddaje v obeh omenjenih jezikih, več kol še enkrat daljše od slovenskih, se pravi uro in četrt, v primerjavi s polurno slovensko oddajo.
Slovenske oddaje Glasa Amerike so tudi v interesu slovenske skupnosti v Ameriki-Pri lem je treba poudariti, da se uredništvo oddaj trudi, da obvešča slovensko javnost v domovini o vseh vidikih doga' janj med ameriškimi Slovenc' in da oddaje nikakor ne zavzC' majo kakršnegakoli politic116' ga stališča napram politi^1’ ureditvi v Sloveniji.
Položaj v Sloveniji in ostal' Jugoslaviji pa se hitro razv'ja j in spreminja. V gospodarske'11 pogledu morda res na slabšem* v političnem pa gotovo 1,2 bolje. K temu procesu sploš'16 liberalizacije in krepitvi pl11611 lizina pa lahko bistveno dopr' našajo prav slovenske radijsk6 oddaje iz tujine. To velja Še t . liko bolj, ker se liberalizacij’ jugoslovanske in slovens^6 družbe najbolj upirajo Pra.V isti krogi, ki si tudi najbolj Pr' zadevajo, da bi bil, obenem slovensko tradicijo, potisnj6 v kol tudi slovenski jezik san1, T.Z*

Ponatis Baragovega molitvenika
Spoštovani rojak, rojakinja!
Letos mineva 1 50 let, kar je misijonar Friderik Baraga prvič obiskal Evropo in svojo ožjo domovino. Na pot se je odpravil iz treh razlogov: Da si nabere gmotno pomoč za svoj misijon, da si poišče pomočnikov za delo med Indijanci, in da v Parizu, odnosno v Ljubljani natiskajo nekaj njegovih knjig.
Med šestimi knjigami, katerih rokopise je vzel s seboj, je bil molitvenik Premišljevanje štirih poslednjih reči.

»Prejmite te bukve, katere sem vam v tako daljni deželi spisal, v znamenje moje velike ljubezni do vas in mojih srčnih želja vašega zveličanja, moji preljubi nikdar pozabljeni Kranjci! — Bog daj, da bi premišljevanje poslednjih reči tako sovraštvo greha v naših srcih obudilo, da bi vekomaj več ne grešili!«
To je bil namen in želja svetniškega misijonarja, ko je v mrzlih zimskih večerih v La Pointu sestavljal te »bukve«. Ker so te bukve danes prava redkost, se je podpisanemu zdelo primerno, da ponatisne za 1 50-letnico 1 50 izvodov. Naj bo to v spomin na okroglo (1 50) obletnico in v koristno branje tistim, ki si bodo želeli knjigo nabaviti.
Kdor ima opravke z izdajanjem in tiskanjem knjig, bo razumel, da pri tako majhni nakladi knjiga ne more biti poceni. Stroški za tisk in vezavo so okrog 45 dolarjev na izvod. Zato tudi nimam namena knjige prodajati, ampak bom rajši svetoval, naj bi zainteresirani prispevali za posebno in Pomembno zadevo primeren dar.
Ko sem se bil lani v Stični razgovarjal z ljubljanskim nadškofom in mu predlagal, da bi se izdal obširnejši, znanstveni živeljenjepis o škofu Baragu v več debelih knjigah (tomus), je rekel, da se o tem doma že menijo, da imajo polno lepih načrtov, da pa jih pri izvedbi ovira najbolj pomanjkanje sredstev. Obljubil sem mu pomoč z naše strani v Ameriki in Kanadi, ako se le odločijo izvesti svoj načrt: Oprostiti drugega dela kakega duhovnika (najbolj primeren bi bil dr. Andrej Pirš, ki je spisal Duhovni lik škofa Barage) ali dobiti kakega laika, ki bi s pomočjo sodelavcev prevzel izvedbo tega načrta. Saj je bilo že marsikaj narejenega v tem °ziru (Jaklič, Šolar, Rebula, Mauser, Kotnik, Vončina, Žakelj in drugi), vendar nam še vedno manjka večji znanstveni življenjepis.
Prijatelji škofa Barage bodo razumeli pomen take akcije 'P radi nekaj žrtvovali v ta namen.
Knjige bodo (420 strani) lepo vezane in numerirane od 1 do 1 50. Sedaj in še bolj malo pozneje bodo redkost in bodo zato tudi imele vedno večjo vrednost. Zlasti pa bodo tistim, ki si jih bodo oskrbeli, lep spomin na 1 50-letnico Baragovega prvega obiska domovine.
Kar bo čistega dobička, bo šel v sklad za izdajo večjega življenjepisa škofa Barage.

Na sliki vidite g. VINKA ROZMANA, ki je skupaj z Viktorjem Tomincem in Tonetom Megličem pripravil koline za večerjo v pomoč verskemu mesečniku Ave Maria, ki je bila 3. marca v avditoriju pri Sv. Vidu. Navzočih je bilo več kot 200 gostov, a bi menda bili lahko prodali vstopnice še in še. G. Rozman je bil med organizatorji le akcije pred štirimi leti, ko je prišlo 90 gostov v Baragov dom na St. Clair Ave. Zaradi velikega zanimanja javnosti, so večerjo prenesli v prostornejšo svetovidsko dvorano.
MEDDOBJE XXII, 1-2
Duhovni izraz zdomskega kulturnega delovanja se iskri v neštetih fasetah. Ena izmed njih je revija Meddobje. Njen položaj je v marsičem soroden s stanjem drugih področij izseljenske kulture. Po neki težko opredeljivi notranji sili kljubuje težavam, ki bi jih v normalnih razmerah revija ne prenesla. Vsak njen zvezek vsebuje poezijo, prozo, eseje in študije, včasih gledališka dela, kritike, pričevanja. V vsaki izdaji je izbrušen umetniški izdelek, osnutek še neuspelega poleta, tehten esej, objektivna analiza, osebni pogled na človeško, narodno in kozmično stvarnost.
Vse to ne priča toliko o u-sposobljenosti avtorjev ali kvaliteti prispevkov, ampak predvsem o zmogljivosti njenih tvorcev. Morda se le v tem iskri razvejana dejavnost peščice ljudi, ki hoče živeti, kljub neugodnim okoliščinam, ki hoče obdržati, prenavljati in ustvarjati svet, ki ga je vredno živeti — to je volja, njen izraz pa Meddobje.
Organizacijska stran podjetja je brez dvoma zasluga vodstva SKA (Slovenske kulturne akcije), polovični del njenega smiselnega nagiba leži na eliti bralcev (mnogi od njih resnični meceni), njen ustvarjalni svet pa na uredništvu in piscih. Vsak njihov prispevek je izziv parijev, je donkihotski boj z mlini na veter, je dokument pričevanja, je podvojeno delo zdesetkanih generacij.
Revija Meddobje izhaja neredno. A vsakič, ko izide, se njen praznični vzklik razlije po celem svetu.
To pot obsega zvezek Med-dobja 180 strani, ker je imela prejšnja številka 20 strani manj), poleg ilustracij Marjance Savinšek (tri barvne reprodukcije in ena črnobela) in štiri strani s fotografijami skulptur Bernarda Lavriša. Likovna priloga izredno popestri prvo dvojno številko XXXII. letnika Meddobja.
Začetne strani novega letni-
ka revije zavzema Vinka Brumna razpravljanje O pojmu božjega bivanja. Ne gre tu zgolj za teološko razglabljanje, temveč predvsem za metafizično poglabljanje, v katerem izstopa avtorjeva vrlina, da predno se loti teme, jasno opredeli uporabljene pojme.
Milan Kopušar v eseju Historični Kristus odkriva zgodovinske dokaze Kristusovega življenja. Prvič so objavljena Pisma Izidorja Cankarja Nar-teju Velikonji iz let 1911-1914. Spremno besedo in primerne razlage je napisal dr. Jože Velikonja. Pisma so dragocenost za literarnega zgodovinarja, a vredne branja vsakega ljubitelja slovenske besede.
Jurčečeva rast iz narodnosti v državnost je esej Andreja Rota, v katerem razčlenjuje politične komponente Jurčeče-vega dela predvsem v tridesetih in sedemdesetih letih — začetku in koncu njegovega pisateljevanja. Lev Detela prispeva tokrat Problem tujejezične metamorfoze. Obdela predvsem vprašanje dvojezičnosti in menjanja jezika v literaturi.
Nov avtor pričujočega zvezka Meddobja je znanstvenik
Vest iz Minnesote
PARKERS PRAIRIE, Minn. -Sporočam, da je septembra lani č.g. Karel Pečovnik praznoval 70. rojstni dan, č.g. Joža Vogrin pa je praznoval svoj 70. rojstni dan februarja letos. Oba duhovnika mislita na upokojitev julija letos. Dne 4. marca sta skupno praznovala v cerkvi sv. Jožefa v Ljubljani že 43. obletnico mašni-škega posvečenja.
Č.g. Joža Vogrin je v fari sv. Viljema tu v Parkers Prai-rieju že kar 37 let. Zelo uspešno vodi poleg fare še dom ostarelih. Farani že sedaj pravijo, da ga bodo zelo pogrešali, saj je 37 let kar lepa doba. Med zaslugami č.g. Vogrina sta ti dve, da je postavil lepi starostni dom iz nič, prav tako še farno cerkev.

Tone Arko. Njegova študija — Geneza in apokalipsa — razjasnjuje vprašanja o izvoru in koncu vsemirja. Sklepna razpravna proza je dr. Ljuba Sirca predavanje Ali je komunistično gospodarstvo mogoče reformirati?
Literature je tokrat manj, a njena vrednost presega vprašanje številčnosti. Vladimir Kos nastopa z odlično črtico Noč in velemestne luči in s pesmimi Zahodnojaponska k vadrilogi-ja v jeseni. Pisatelj Maks Osojnik objavlja črtico Grbčeva ljubezen.
Pesnica in pisateljica Dolores M. Terseglav je obogatila Meddobje z odrsko pesnitvijo Rojeni smo za življenje, katere naslov in vsebino moremo primerjati vzkliku Antigone: Ne da sovražim — ljubim, zato sem na svetu. Tematika, čeprav je časovno postavljena v čas druge svetovne vojne, je še danes povsem aktualna. Globoko, v življenju slovenskega naroda marsikomu nedoumljivo eksistencialno dejanje je sporočilo Jožeta Mavsarja Odgovor k »Vprašanju sprave« v Meddobja.

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
717. Misijonar Jože Šomen
iz Iboko v Zairu 22. januarja piše o dobrem br. Macelu Kerševanu, objavljeno v MSIP 715. Potem dodaja o svojem delu polno zanimivosti:
»Ob vrnitvi iz nekajdnevnega potovanja po vaseh me je včeraj čakalo Vaše pismo s čekom za u.s. $1914.00 in še $500 u.s. za sto sv. maš po namenih misijonskih dobrotnikov. Omenjene maše bomo opravili tukaj in sicer nekaj tudi drugi duhovniki. Nimamo namreč vsak svojih maš, ampak jih dajemo in opravljamo skupaj. Mašni darovi so za delovanje misijona in njegovo vzdrževanje pomemben vir, zato bomo prav zadovoljni in hvaležni, če nam jih po isti poti še lahko pošljete. Iz Belgije dobivamo namreč vedno manj sv. maš.
Za poslano pomoč v obeh oblikah pa se Vam in vsem drugim dobrotnikom iskreno zahvalim in skupaj z našimi verniki in katehumeni prosimo Gospoda, naj Vam vsem vse to povrne z obilnim vsakovrstnim blagoslovom!
Moje delo je le zelo redko v delavnici na misijonu, pač pa veliko potujem po župniji. Pastoralno delo v notranjosti gozdov, kjer je velika večina naših ljudi, je moja dolžnost. Večinoma potujem s kolesom, ponekod peš, ker druge možnosti potovanja ni. Ob enodnevnem obisku enkrat na mesec (in v nekaterih vaseh na dva ali tri mesece) je težko dati ljudem neko solidno krščansko formacijo. Zato pa skušamo preko katehistov, ki so neprestano v stiku z vaščani. Ti ljudje imajo po večini veliko dobre volje, vendar so žal sami zelo slabo usposobljeni za tako delo.
Lani smo prvič organizirali
enotedenski tečaj za naše katehiste in to bomo nadaljevali. Lani se jih je udeležilo 25.

OB 29. OBLE I NICI, ODKAR JE UMRL USTANOVITELJ NAŠE POTNIŠKE PISARNE
August Kollander
Preminul je dne 12. marca 1958.
Gospod daruj mu mir, naj večna luč mu sveti, ker si dobrote vir, uživa raj naj svetil
Žalujoči:
MR. in MRS. AUGUST KOLLANDER
Cleveland, O., 13. marca 1987.
Vsako leto pa bomo skušali poslati na enoletni študij dva ali tri. Tako se bodo lažje posvetili teološki in duhovni formaciji. V nekaterih vaseh sem poskušal organizirati majhne molitvene skupine, kar ponekod dobro uspeva, drugod pa tudi ne, kar me sili k iskanju novih pristopov.
Že lani sem Vam omenjal pripravo za gradnjo nove cerkve v največji od naših vasi, ki z nekaj okoliškimi šteje okrog 6000 ljudi in je v načrtu, da postane samostojna župnija. To je vas Lopanzo. Ljudje so že izkopali precej kamenja in peska in ga na glavi ali na rokah znosili na gradbišče. Tudi so začeli žagati les (namreč ročno žaganje desk). Vaš denarni prispevek pa bo tudi krepko pomagal k nabavi materiala in plačila dela zidarjev. S skupnimi močmi upamo to uresničiti in seveda bolj ko bo delo prežeto z molitvijo, bolj bo blagoslovljeno. Zato Vas in vse verne v MZA prosim tudi za tovrstno sodelovanje.
Tudi Vam želim obila uspehov pri Vašem delu za blagor ljudi in Vas iskreno pozdravljam	Jože Šomen.«
G. Šomen je v čeku prejel vse nabrano preko MZA povabila v MSIP v pomoč za zidavo nove cerkve. Lepo vabimo rojake, ki z veseljem pionirijo v življenju, kjer morejo, naj še prispevajo za g. misijonarja in njegove načrte. Tudi sv. maše mu bo MZA lahko od časa do časa spet poslala.
Škof Zacchaeus Okoth
iz škofije Kisumu, Kenija, pošilja 12. februarja tole zahvalo za celo vrsto bogoslov-skih vzdrževalnin od MZA dobrotnikov za njihove duhovniške kandidate. Takole piše: »Sicer pozno, vendar Vam voščim zelo uspešno Novo leto.

Euclid, O., 13. marca 1987.
Spet moram izreči zahvalo Vam in našim dobrotnikom za nadaljevanje Vaše velikodušne pomoči za vzgojo naših bodočih duhovnikov. Zelo sem bil hvaležen za prejeto vsoto $4250. U.S., ki nam je pomagala plačati zahtevane vsote za semeniške študije, za knjige in zdravstvene potrebe, za prevoz in druge semeniške izdatke.
Ček za $100 sem poslal g. Melchisedecku, ki je trenutno v župniji Our Lady of Lourdes.
Iskreno Vaš
Zacchaeus Okoth škof v Kisumu.«
Škof je poslal tudi potrdilo o izmenjanem čeku za domačo valuto v Keniji. Isti škof nam je lani poslal izčrpno poročilo o vrsti duhovniških kandidatov, ki študirajo za njegovo škofijo in je MZA prevzela nanovo v podpiranje vse, ki so začeli v septembru vsaj 1. letnik teologije, da vzdrževalnino dobrotnik lahko poravna v štirih letih. Škofija je bogata na novih poklicih in jim vsaka pomoč olajša sprejemali vedno nove kandidate v filizofijo za prvi dve leti študija na potu do mašniškega posvečenja. Božičnica MZA Cleveland je tudi finančno lepo uspela. Blagajnik Marolt je 14. januarja sporočil tele darove:
Od srečk za žrebanje na sestanku v nedeljo, 11. januarja — $691.
Gdč. Mary Mlinar $200, od tega $50 za s. Bogdano Kavčič v Burundiju, $25 za g. Rcbola na Tajvanu in $125 za vse na terenu.
G. Frank Šepin iz Willoughby Hills, O,, $100 za sv. maše za rajno Ivano Šepin in $20 za misijone, skupaj $120.

V Tržiču je živel uradnik, ki je bil daleč naokoli znan po pripovedovanju smešnic in dovtipov. Zato so ga vsi imeli radi v družbi, posebno kadar so popivali do zgodnjega jutra. Nekoč se je zgodilo, da je prišel domov, ko je bilo treba iti v službo, zato ni imel časa poslušati ženo, ki mu je začela izpraševati vest. Mirno je rekel: »Veš, draga, meni se mudi v službo. Nimam časa, da bi te poslušal. Vse, kar hočeš povedati, napiši! Ko pridem iz službe, bom vse prebral.«

Politična analiza
* Zakaj se v SFRJ nič ne zboljša?
(Frankfurger AUgemeine Zeitung) — Za gospodarsko ureditev južnih pokrajin v Jugoslaviji so pripravljene prispevati Srbija, Hrvaška in Slo-venija v enaki meri. V Ljublja-pripominjajo, da so za to 8°spodarsko ureditev, a takih Napačnih naložb, ki so imele v južnih delih države tako težke Posledice, ne bi smeli ponoviti.
Samoposebi umevno bo Slo-Venija še naprej plačevala milijone in milijarde za manj raz-vite dele države kot doslej, a vsakič z opombo, da je to »zadnjič«. Ureditve jugoslo-van$kega gospodarstva, in ne *e na jugu, ampak na sploh, pa n' na vidiku. Razen uradnih Sovornikov, ki govorijo, ker Pač morajo, komaj kdo v Jugoslaviji verjame v možno ■zboljšanje. Prepričanje, da se Ue bo mogel pod komunistično plastjo položaj nikdar zbolj-Sa[i, prodira vedno bolj v jav-n°st in najde pot celč v časo-P*sje in televizijo.
Zadnjo sejo centralnega ko-^'teja konec decembra je predalo priznanje, da partija te-£avam ni kos. Za vprašanja o-*asti občutljivi Dolanc, ki za-^°Pa v državnem predsedstvu °vence, čeprav ne uživa v 0veniji posebnega ugleda, je aJPada takoj odgovoril, da ni ^goče javno povedati, »da SlTl0 mi nesposobni«.
|uji opazovalci govorijo .. '-asno še vedno o eni »parti-^ v Jugoslaviji, ki dozdevno I e,uje kot enotna organizacija kl kot najvišja oblast uskla-razvoj države. Seja centrally komiteja konec decem-^ Je pa nekako uradno potr-da kaj takšnega več ne j^staja.

nekaj čisto drugega, na ta način pa ustvarja zmedo. Govori o politiki »stvarnih obresti«, določi jih pa za približno pol tako visoke, kot je stopnja inflacije; govori o »politiki omejevanja množine denarja«, kot veljavno mero za to pa določi stopnjo inflacije samovoljno in nestvarno nizko; poleg tega pa ne stori ničesar, da bi zajezila denarno podporo podjetjem z izgubo.
Vlada govori o lem, da mora »malo gospodarstvo«, torej tudi zasebna pobuda, dobiti »končno« svobodno pot, od tega pa skuša slej ko prej izključiti trgovino, čeprav se je v drugih državah že zdavnaj pokazalo, da je zasebna dejavnost brez dejavnika trgovine tržno gospodarstvo le malo učinkovita.
Rada bi vlada imela od denarja Jugoslovanov na tujem korist, pa ni pripravljena dovoliti tistim, ki bi radi svoj denar doma naložili, da bi s svojimi naložbami razpolagali. Tujci smejo prispevati v mešanih podjetjih cel6 večino glavnice, a ko gre za nadzor nad temi naložbami, ima prednost zaščite načelo »delavskega samoupravljanja«.
Ta seznam bi lahko poljubno podaljševali. Vse te očitke na račun vlade in režima je najti tudi v jugoslovanskih časnikih in revijah. Zdi pa se, da žanje časnikarski pritisk na birokracijo le pičel uspeh. »Tako bomo morali pač vedno hirati na evropskem repu,« se čuje v krogih gospodarstvenikov.
Jugoslovanski Časniki poročajo na široko o reformah na Madžarskem ali Kitajskem, očitno z namenom, da bi pomagali razviti gospodarsko miselnost pri svojem vladajočem stroju. A zapornic, sestavljenih iz koristi in svetovnonazorskih predsodkov, ni moč tako lahko premakniti.
Najbolj vznemirjujoč vidik jugoslovanske krize je že dolgo v tem, da so se gospodarske težave preselile v politiko in so zastrupile odnose med republikami, narodi in narodnostmi. Kriza je jugoslovanska ljudstva vse prej kot zbližala. Jezik, ki ga — sedaj predvsem v Srbiji — uporabljajo celo v uradnih izjavah nasproti drugim jugoslovanskim narodom, dosega včasih že mejo komaj še znosnega v skupni državi.
Občasnemu klicu po »moč-
nemu možu« pogosto, posebno če prihaja iz ljudstva, ne botruje več želja, rešiti komunistični režim, marveč, skupaj premagali mrtvilo tega. To je zločest in nevaren klic, ker je protidemokratičen in ne misli na posledice. Na srečo ga je čuti dokaj poredko in na srečo odgovarjajo tisti, na katere je največkrat naslovljen, brez ovinkov, češ da tudi oni ne vedo, kaj je treba v posamičnem storiti.

Pri Koširjevih na Dobrovi, kjer je doma naša Tončka Babnik, je oče kupil otrokom smučke in vse, kar spada zraven, torej tudi smučarske čevlje. Mami ni bilo všeč, ker so prišli otroci od smučanja vedno sneženi in mokri. Enkrat jim je čevlje skrila, da se ne bodo mogli smučati.
Ko je prišla tisto jutro precej pozno iz hleva, pride poštar mimo in jo vpraša: »Čigavi so pa tisti otroci tam doli, ki se bosi smučajo?« »o, gotovo so naši, ker sem jim čevlje skrila,« je rekla. In res so bili.

postavila krožnik na mizo. Ko je oče videl, kaj mu je prinesla, je rekel: »Nisi pravega zmešala!«

Zopet nekaj novega o srčnih obolenjih
Znanstveniki z Edinburške univerze na Škotskem i rdijo, da lahko srčna obolenja povzroči ludi pomanjkanje maščobnih kislin v prehrani. V študiji, ki so jo objavili v ugodnem medicinskem časopisu Lancet — za vzorec so preiskali prek 600 ljudi, pravijo, da je pri listih, ki so imeli srčne napade in bolečine v območju srca, opažen manjši odstotek maščobnih kislin v organizmu kakor pri onih, ki problemov s srcem niso imeli.
Do danes je medicinska znanost menila, da srčna obolenja izzovejo večje količine nasičenih maščob v prehrani, na primer v živalskem mesu. Vedeti pa je ireba, da so maščobne kisline v oljih rastlinskega izvora in v ribjem mesu.
Raziskovalci so tudi ugotovili, da imajo kadilci v organizmu zmanjšane količine maščobnih kislin, kar bi utegnila biti ena od razlag, zakaj so pri njih srčna obolenja pogostejša kakor pri nekadilcih.
Z najnovejšimi ugotovitvami seveda ne pride v poštev, da bi posameznik nehal paziti na količino masti v raznih oblikah, ki je v njegovi hrani. Raziskovalci gotovo niso izrekli zadnje besede in sporno ni, da mora vsakdo paziti na to, da je v njegovem organizmu čim manj kolesterola in drugih škodljivih snovi. Redno zahajanje k zdravniku je še vedno priporočljivo za vsakega človeka. O tem sploh ne more biti dvoma.

Ethnics Urged to Attend Convention
1988 Democratic National Convention: An Opportunity for Ethnic Americans to Participate in the Delegate Selection Process
Every four years the Democratic National Convention meets to select the Democratic nominees for President and Vice President of the United States. The Convention also formulates platform and gives direction to the Party for the next four years, until the next Convention. In 1988, the Democratic Convention will be held in Atlanta, Gedrgia, July 18-21.
Under the rules adopted by the Democratic National Committee, ethnic Americans are strongly encouraged to become delegates to the National Convention. While the delegate selection process includes ample opportunity for involvement, it is important to remember that the process is long and begins very early. With this in mind, those persons who wish to be involved in the delegate selection process must get involved now/ They must:
*	understand the state process and how they can be involved by becoming familiar with this material and getting state delegate selection material from their local Democratic Party headquarters;
*	become active early in a Presidential campaign and make known their wish to be a delegate pledged to that particular candidate by contacting that candidate. The local Party can supply local and national contacts for each candidate. Further information is available by calling the DNC Compliance Assistance Commission at (202) 863-8162 or the DNC Council on Ethnic Americans at (202) 863-8139;
*	get involved in the development of their State Party Plan by calling the State Democratic Party to request information on how, when and where the Party meet to work out its plan;
*become aware of the different categories of delegates in their state, the different opportunities for running, and begin at the first level.
Preliminary Call lo Convention
The Preliminary Call to Convention was adopted at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) meeting i*1 November 1986. The Preliminary Call sets the number of delegates allocated to each state by establishing a numerical selection formula-This information will be uP' dated in the Final Call to Con' vention in Spring 1987.
The total number of delegate5 to the 1988 Convention will he approximately 4,158. In addi' tion, it is expected there will he about one alternate for evetV three delegates.

Altar Society is sponsoring a bafc* sale on Saturday, March 2 and Sunday, March 22 in th£ school cafeteria, beginning 31 11 a.m. on Saturday, and aft£r all the Masses on Sunday-The ladies of the parish ^ asked to please bring the|f bakery specialties either 0(1 Saturday or Sunday.

TRIPE STEW
The Tripe known as “honeycomb” is the most desirable, but the other two kinds, “pocket” and “smooth,” are also fine in flavor. To cook tripe, cover it with water to which salt, an onion, a stack of celery and an herb (boy leaf) have been added and simmer until tender-this takes anywhere from 4-6 hours, depending on how much it has been precooked before being sold.
Tripe a La Madrilena
3	pounds fresh honeycomb tripe
3	sprigs green celery leaves,
minced
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon thyme
3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground
black pepper
2	teaspoons salt
3	cups water
1/2 pound chorizo or other garlic-flavored sausage 6 bacon strips, chopped, or 1/4 pound salt pork, diced 1/4 cup olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup dry white wine 2 beef bouillon cubes 1 pound, 14-ounce can peeled tomatoes
4-6 potatoes, quartered / pound kale or Swiss chard 1 pound peas, shelled, or 1 package frozen peas .Place.the tripe in a kettle with the celery, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, salt and water. Cover closely and cook 2 hours, or until tender. Drain. Cut the tripe into thin strips. Cut the sausage into 1” pieces. Saute^ the
bacon in the olive oil until fat is drawn out. Add the sausage, onions and garlic and cook over lowered heat until onions are soft. Add the wine, bouillon cubes, tomatoes, remaining pepper, tripe strips and sausage. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer over lowest heat 2-3 hours. Half an hour before end of cooking time, add potatoes, kale or Swiss chard and fresh peas. Add frozen peas during last 5 minutes. Serve directly from the pot or from a large earthenware casserole. This tastes better if made the day before and reheated just before serving time: it can also be frozen, but the potatoes should be removed and par-boiled potatoes added when it is reheated. Serves 6.
The last 4 ingredients may be omitted and you can serve with mashed potatoes if desired.

No Lawsuit Crisis in Ohio
The Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers (OATL) recently released the preliminary results of its Jury Verdict Survey reviewing personal injury verdicts in the State’s Common Pleas Courts for a six-year period 1980 through 1985.
Conducted by Professor Vernon L. Traster of the Ohio Northern University College of Law, the survey shows that plaintiffs in the 1,538 cases surveyed to date won damages in less than half of the cases and that over 60% of the awards were below $2,000.
Traster’s preliminary results were presented to State Representative John D. Shivers, Jr., Chairman of the House Select Committee on Civil Justice, which is considering changes in existing civil justice law. In an accompanying letter, Professor Traster said the preliminary results, drawn from 19 counties including all of the major metropolitan counties, cover approximately one-half of all personal injury verdicts for the six-year time period. He also predicted that the completed survey should closely parallel the preliminary results.
Significant finds in the OATL/Traster survey include the following:
Overall plaintiffs won and were awarded compensatory damages in only 43% of the cases. In product liability cases, plaintiffs won only 39% of the time; in medical negligence cases only 21% of the time.

Product liability cases comprised only about 2% of all of the surveyed cases; medical malpractice cases only 4%. The predominant share of all personal injury cases involved auto accidents.
61.9% of the awards won by plaintiffs were below $2,000; 74.4% below $10,000; and 88.7% below $30,000.
In his letter to Chairman Shivers, Professor Traster said that most of the very few large verdicts awarded by juries were significantly reduced by judges or settled by agreement for much less. He also said that punitive damage claims were involved in only 2% of the surveyed cases.
Summing up his preliminary findings, Professor Traster said he believes “the final report will demonstrate that there is no lawsuit crisis in the State of Ohio. It is my belief that the rights of Ohio tort victims should not be compromised based upon the mistaken assumption that large jury verdicts have caused a liabilty insurance crisis in Ohio. This contention, I believe, is totally false.”

QUESTION: Nearly five years ago, I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome and spent a year in a wheelchair. Although I am walking, I still experience muscle spasms in nty legs, especially at night. Will anything besides hot water soaks and physical therapy relieve the spasms? ANSWER: Weakness and muscle cramps are typical of Guillain-Barre syndrome. But it is unusual for symptoms like your to persist.
Guillain-Barre syndrome, named after the two physicians who first identified it, affects some 4,000 people each year in this country alone. Its cause is unknown, although in taore than half the cases, it follows a viral infection.
The syndrome is probably due to inflammation damaging the insulation around the nerves. The primary symptom is weakness, starting in the legs and proceeding upward to the trunk and arms. Other symptoms include burning, tingling : and muscle cramps. The Weakness usually becomes most severe within the first 'wo weeks. Most patients eventually recover their strength completely. Fewer than l percent of Guillain-^arre syndrome patients experience another episode of Weakness after their initial
recovery.
Persistent muscle cramps, as Vou describe, may result from rying to “do too much too SOon’’ after a bout of
eakness. I often recomr rmking a glass or tw< °nic water at bedtime bee ^ Quinine it contains rel ainful muscle cramps. r ^fher medical condii ^esemble Guillain-Barre °me, and some are seri ^ttt since you apparently j,® no additional sympl r five years, a set ical problem is unlikel are experiencing c ^•Uptoms, I suggest that J** your physician to other problems.

As the skin wrinkles and stretches out, folds and bags of excess skin form. Significant tightening can only be achieved by removing the excess skin and stretching the remaining skin smoothly over the face. This is called a face-lift, and must be performed by a qualified plastic surgeon.
Sometimes, skin texture or quality changes. Both surgeons and “exoder-mologists” can modify the quality of skin, but I must caution you to make sure that the exodermologist is a certified medical professional.
Plastic surgeons or dermatologists can surgically “sand” the outer skin (called surgical planing, or dermabrasion). This treatment results in smoother, often more youthful-appearing skin. Chemical planing or “peeling” is another means of achieving this effect. Some ex-odermologists may offer this option.
Unfortunately, the application of a variety of skin lotions by exodermologists has only a temporary effect. Astringents, for example, will stretch the skin tightly so that fine wrinkles flatten, other preparations increase the fluid content of the skin, causing a slight swelling that “fills out” wrinkles somewhat. While methods such as these can sometimes be useful in the short term, long-term use can be harmful to the skin.
If you are interested in cosmetic improvements, there is certainly no harm in being evaluated by a well-qualified exodermologist. But I also would recommend consultation at a cosmetic center associated with a reputable medical institution. Centers such as these offer a full range of services, including facelifts, dermabrasion and chemical peel procedures, and staff must meet national qualification standards.

QUESTION: Why can’t I lose weight? I am 72 and 5 feet 3 inches tall but consistently weight between 138 and 140 pounds. I eat a balanced diet. At least five times each week, I walk three miles and work out for 45 minutes at a fitness center. I try so hard to lose weight, but I can’t even lose an ounce.
ANSWER: I commend you for your excellent lifestyle. You are getting an appropriate amount of exercise and eating a sensible diet.
The reason you are unable to lose weight is probably that the number of calories you consume is just equal to your daily needs.
If you wish to lose weight, then 1 would suggest that you eat smaller servings and switch from whole to skim milk. Don’t be discouraged. Just make these few small changes in your diet.

QUESTION: My son is 15 years old and has cancer. He will be receiving chemotherapy over a long period of time. What effect will this have on his personality? Is there anything I can say or do for him during this difficult time? ANSWER: The teen-ager with malignant disease needs the support and encouragement of his entire family to deal with the therapy for his disease. (You can say the same thing ab out teen-agers in general, however). Certainly his anxiety will be much less if an “open” approach is adapted in which his doctor always tells him the truth. A teenager should not have the added worry that the doctor is discussing his situation with his parents “behind his back”. This honest approach will make it easier for the young man to accept the discomfort and distress which probably will be caused by the chemotherapy. If your physician says that it is safe, then he should be encouraged to take part in all of his previous activities, including football.
No allowances should be made on the part of parents if a teenager’s behavior is hot acceptable. You cannot allow one child to “get away with something” while his brothers and sisters get punished for doing the same thing. This not only breeds hostility and anxiety in the brothers and sisters, but produces anxiety and possibly further unacceptable behavior on his part, with resulting anxiety and unhappiness for everyone.
It is surprising how well most adolescents cope with having cancer, providing they have trust in their doctors and parents—something which can only develop in an open and frank atmosphere. Our experience here has been that these young people are at least as well-balanced as the average teenager.

QUESTION: My husband has lung cancer, and one of his first symptoms was swollen fingertips. Can you explain why?
ANSWER: Although the first symptom of lung cancer is usually a persistent irritative cough, sometimes “clubbing” of the fingertips can be the first sign of this disease. How it occurs is not known, but it occurs with a variety of chronic lung conditions, particularly those producing a blue color (cyanosis) in the patient’s lips and fingers. The clubbing usually gets better if the tumor is successfully removed.

and Medical Oncology QUESTION: Is there such a thing as cancer of the heart? ANSWER: Primary tumors of the heart are exceedingly rare and usually occur in young people. The most frequent tumor is known as a myxoma and is benign. Malignant tumors rarely originate in the heart, but tumors arising elsewhere can spread to the heart. One common tumor that spreads in this manner is melanoma a form of skin cancer.

Director, Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center QUESTION: If a woman had benign lumps removed from her breasts several years ago and a D and C one year ago, what does it mean if the lumps recur? Did the doctor do everything he should have? ANSWER: There is no relationship between breast cancer and gynecological diseases treated with “dilation and curettage” (D and C). Lumps in the breast develop slowly over time from microscopic to detectable size, and often at multiple locations in the breast. Even if a woman has had one benign lump removed, it is important to keep on the look out for additional lumps and have them checked immediately. That is the basis for teaching women the ongoing practice of breast self-examination. The fact that the doctor biopsied the lumps suggest that he is a thorough' physician.

Director, Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center QUESTION: I am a healthy 37 year old woman and my doctor has recommended that I have a mammogram. Isn’t this a little overkill? I thought only older women needed to have regular mammograms? ANSWER:	No, it is not
“overkill” at all. While annual mammograms are not recommended for most women until they turn 50 years of age, both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Radiology recommend a baseline mammogram between
the ages of 35 and 40. This baseline mammogram will allow your doctors to have something to compare future exams with, which can be helpful in identifying changes early. In addition to the baseline mammogram, the guidelines suggest the woman aged 40-49 have a mammogram every 1 or 2 years and women over the age of 50 have mammograms every year. If you would like more information about the guidelines for early detection of breast cancer, write to the Cancer Information Services and indicate your return address and interest in receiving breast cancer detection guidelines.

QUESTION:	I gave up
cigarettes several years ago and began to smoke a pipe instead. I don’t inhale the pipe and smoke about 3 bowls a day. I’ve read in a number of articles that pipe smoking leads to an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. What can you tell me about this?
ANSWER: Pipe smoking has been linked to an increased death rate from cancer. The 1982 Surgeon General’s report on The Health Consequences of Smoking From Cancer outlined that pipe smokers were approximately 3 times as likely to die of oral cancer, twice as likely to die of pharyngeal cancer and 3 times as likely to die of esophergeal cancer as non-smokers. Also, pipe smokers were approximately 3 times as likely to die from all types of cancer. These estimates are derived from review of a number of large studies which have compared cancer rates of various types of smokers with that of non-smokers. In comparison, male cigarette smokers have approximately 5 to 10 times the death rates of oral cancer, 5 to 10 times the rates of laryngeal cancer, and 10 to 15 times the rates of lung cancer as do non-smokers. Cigarette smokers are twice as likely to die of all forms of cancer as non-smokers.
As you can see, pipe smoking does not seem to be as dangerous as cigarette smoking, but it is itself associated with severe health consequences.

Life Before Television: Some Memorable Moments
By Vince Gostilna
How we lived and enjoyed life before television. Those youthful years, those were the good ole days. Now that we are in the evening of life, it’s always great to recall some of the more memorable times...
The Scene:	The early
1930’s-the height of the Depression years. We as youngsters were always occupied with some diversion. We played marbles, spun tops, traded and flipped baseball cards (Big League) and (Batter-Up). We also indulged in the knife progression game called “Chubbies”, played baseball without a ball, we used a paddle and a wooden tid-dley (2 pointed wooden peg). The Street was our grounds. We didn’t have much spending money so we made scooters from old skates and orange crates. We made rubber-band guns using old inner tubes, a block of wood and a clothes pin. We took two cans and string and had a home-made telephone...We made crystal sets with a round shaped galena and a long, longwire antenna, we had a radio that was self-powered.
We played red rover, tag, spud, icebox and hide-n-seek. We buried maps in playground earth, and the “pirates” would attempt to locate where we had interred them. We went to the St. Clair
Bathhouse, took the required shower, walked thru the antiinfection foot pool and plunged eagerly into the cool, blue waters of the swimming pool. We made balsa wood airplan-ed and ships, kits purchased from Bruno’s (E-60th) and Red’s Hobby Shops. We listened to Jack Armstrong, Tom Mix, Orphan Annie and other radio serials, we went in for the free offers with, a seal or label from Ovaltine or Wheaties or Ralston Farina. We, in turn, received decoder pins, rings, guns, stamps, sometimes we were disappointed when we received a cheap cardboard toy instead of a metallic one (no plastics were in use).
When we tired of activity, we would watch the 12” softball games at East Madison and St. George. All of the adult neighborhood baseball talent would appear in competition in the early evening. (1 especially remember when Olympic star, Stella Walsh, hit a homer at St. George’s that had all the guys shaking their heads, Stella had so much power.
For hardball games, we had to walk to Gordon Park and watch Class A teams in night games. One of our neighbors, “Heinie” starred at shortstop and even had a try-out with the Indians. Needless to say, he was our role model and
when he presented us with a baseball his rating with us really soared.
Occasionally at Gordon Park, big brass bands would be featured at the bandshell near Doan Brook. People would spread newspapers on the grass and sit down to a stir-ring concert of Sousa favorites. On Fourth of July, fireworks were illuminating the night skies and people ooh-ed and aahed..
On Thursday nights, Anton Grdina would show his films of Slovenia, gardens, weddings and funerals. The movies were free and the E 62nd St. funeral home parking lot served as the outdoor theater. On Friday nights, many would congregate at East Madison School playground for the outdoor shows. Some of the area’s aspiring talent would be showcased ie; singers, accordionists, tap dancers etc. On some Fridays boxing matches were scheduled and the neighborhood’s mini machos would trade punches much to the delight of the assembled. One scrappy, red-headed lad was a real crowd-pleaser, he was a steady winner over larger opponents.
Occasionally a traveling carnival would set up their paraphernalia in a playground
In a short time ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds were

spinning and attracting curious spectators who would watch the performances by magicians, knife-throwers, contortionists and other side show exhibitionists. Pink cotton candy, popcorn and popcorn balls, salt water taffy and hot dogs were the tempting menu that confronted us.
On Saturdays and Sundays, we attended the matinee movies at the Norwood Theater at E-62nd. Double features were standard fare and admission was 10 cents for children and 15 cents for adults. On week-day nights an added feature was free dishes. Bank night, Bunco and many would gladly surrender 15 cents admission for a depression-glass dishware (some is valuable today) During the summer, the Sweet Shoppe next door would send their employed clad in a white suit and cap, and carrying a trap of ice-cream cones. He would parade up and down the aisles while the movie was in progress, hoping to sell some of his fine ice-cream.
Sometimes we would venture to Mrs. Wagners Pie Company at the foot of E-70th St. There, we purchased unsold
pies, the small lunch size for 1 cent, the large for five cents. • We would quickly consume the tasty baked goods. If one of the group purchased a blueberry pie we would all be alert to the possibility of winding up with that blueberry pie in our face.
Another favorite food the Washington pies, squares of pastry that were a combina-! tion of left-over baked goods, molasses and raisins. They sold for 2 cents each and one’s appetite would be satisfied with just one of those belly-sinkers. (Just last week I purchased a Washington square for the sum of 60 cents.)
In addition to all our adven-l tures, we always looked for’ the street peddlers each had e nick-name, usually describing him to an extent. One peddler was called “Cowboy”-: another “Mevža” (coward u1 Slovenian) and “Paparex” the junk man.
Thus it was that our life went on and we entered the television era that seems to have ended a great deal of out former way of living. But we’re thankful for all the memories that we have of those days that once were.

Did you ever experience becoming fully engrossed, almost spellbound, listening to some dynamic speaker, or storyteller?? Well, that was the picture I saw, as 1 looked about the room, during our February meeting. I sensed, that our guest speaker had the undivided attention of his listening audience. Sergeant Hennie, of the Sixth District of the Cleveland Police Department, possesses a strong, commanding voice that requires no artificial amplification; and his stature matches his voice. He spoke in simple terms, understandable by all.
His topics were, “Protection at home”, and “Victims of Scam Artists”, both subjects of vital interest and concern to all senior citizens. First we were shown a film demonstrating a few of the many methods of scam operations, used to victimize unsuspecting individuals, who most often, are trusting senior citizens. The end result, in too ^any instances, is the loss of all or part of the victims life savings.
After the film showing, Sargeant Hennie, with his booming voice, expanded on the workings and tricks of the scam artists”, and then went on to instruct us on how to respond to strangers who come to our doors. “Do not let anyone into your home, until you have verified that the person’s reason for being there is a legitimate one.” He made certain that we understand the “Do’s” and “Don’ts” we need to know to safeguard ourselves.
Although Sergeant Hennie’s session went beyond the allotted time, the many questions and comments from the audience, was proof that no one was bored, and hopefully, it Was a better informed and wiser group that left the Reeling that day. Thanks to Sergeant Hennie.

Marge’s interests and involvements extend beyond the bounds of the SNH and flow into a number of other organizations, one of these is serving as president of the St. Clair Pensioners Club since 1981. We are proud of vou. Marge!
Our member, Paula Mens-inger, who was involved in an auto accident in mid-December, is recovering, but slowly. We hope that with the coming of nicer weather, her progress will speed up.
Chris Glavan, after having been housebound for a number of weeks, is gradually venturing out. We miss her at our meetings, and hope that she will soon be well enough to join us again.
Sad to say, Jane Lube’s condition is unchanged, and she is still confined to the Manor Care Nursing Home. Ursula Unetič, also a victim of serious health problems, just celebrated her 89th birthday on March 9th. Undaunted, she courageously accepts her ailments and pains.
Latest on our sick list is An-tionette Gerbec. We wish her a speedy recovery.
To all of the above, and any other ailing members, we extend our best wishes and prayers for speedy recovery, and then, extended good health.
Our Annual CHICKEN AND PORK DINNER and SOCIAL, is not too far off. Sunday, April 26th is the date. Have you purchased your tickets yet? This year we also celebrate our 25th anniversary. Yes, 25 years ago, 23 persons met to discuss the need of a club for the retirees in the St. Clair area. And so it came about. On July 29th, 1962, the first meeting was held, and 53 men, and ladies, signed up at that meeting. Of those, only one is still alive and in our midst.
Come, help us celebrate our anniversary by attending our Annual Dinner on Sunday, April 26th, in the Lower Hall of the St. Clair National Home..We would love to have you there.
Some of you may have received a letter, recently, from the Directors of the St. Clair National Home, informing you of the formation of a support organization called, “Friends of the Slovenian National Home”. Because of the limited available mailing list, it was not possible to reach many of you. Therefore, through the support and cooperation of the Editor of the American Home, you will find a copy of the letter published on page 10.
It is an open letter, inviting all of you to become members of the Friends of the Slovenian National Home. It is the sincere hope of the Directors of the Home, that you will respond favorably. The response to date, has been gratifying, but there is a need to hear from many more of you. Participation will not place a heavy burden on you, but your combined response will do much to help ease the burden now on the shoulders of the board of directors.
Please read the letter, and then give it serious consideration. Be a friend and lend a hand.
The coming meeting of the Pensioners is on Thursday, March 19th. Need we remind you that the meeting place is the Annex of the St. Clair National Home, and the time is 1:30 pm?? Discussion will center around our coming Annual Dinner, and also some preliminary talk regarding Bus Tours for the year.
If you have a prospective candidate for membership, bring him, her, or them along...

Adolph Muren celebrated his birthday by buying everybody a drink and bringing along a large birthday cake to share with all. He is that way. Our dear Ann Konchar had a birthday too. Cyril Grilc turned “18” as he phrased it. Meaning 81- just a wishful error. Andrew Jarty also had his day, his lady Helen had a large group in at their condo to celebrate. Oh what an education one gets there. Shh-Shh-can’t tell you now.
Celebrating weddings were Jennie and All Washio, Mary and John Bogatay celebrated their 59th anniversary, how can they recall so far back. It is often difficult to even recall what one had for dinner last night. We wish them all many more years of wedded bliss. They were lustily greeted in song.
Our list of sick folk continues, Mary Salmon was ill, Frances Drenik, Frances Peters and just heard Steffie Urbanic had a stroke. We understand she is recovering and doing well. We extend our good wishes to all. Alice Kaprivec’s son was in a serious auto accident. Hope he recovers soon from his severe injuries.
We shall have elections this spring in place of November or December in order not to interfere with our holiday par-
ties. Terms of office shall last two years in place of one.

Woman of the Year
Affable Alice Arko
The Board of Directors of The Slovenian National Home in Newburgh first honored Alice Arko as the Newburgh Slovenian Woman of the year in 1968. In 1986, Alice’s name was brought forward to the Federation of Slovenian Homes by the Newburgh Board of Directors to be considered for the Federation Slovenian Woman of the Year. Alice was elected unanimously. Congratulations, Alice!
Alice’s father, Joseph Bradač came to the United States from Europe in 1896. He settled in the Newburgh area and sent for his wife, Theresa, and two sons, Frank (Mac) and Joseph. In 1907 Joseph and Theresa purchased the home at 3562 E. 80th Street.
Alice was born in the house on East 80th Street on May 15, 1911. Joseph and Theresa were very happy as Alice was preceded by five sons. Needless to say Alice was the joy of the entire family. But sadness struck the Bradač family in 1914 when Alice’s mother, Theresa, passed away on March 19, leaving little Alice without a mother. Alice’s father remarried, giving Alice a very good stepmother. Alice’s father passed away in 1959 and her stepmother in 1968.
Alice was christened Angela, but her brother Mac could not say Angela so he called her Alice and Alice she is known to all. Alice attended St. Lawrence grade school and South high school. After graduating from high school Alice went to work for the Cleveland Hat Company. She worked there for a short while, then went to work for Richman Brothers as that was the best place for the young ladies to work at that time. Alice worked at Richman Brothers for 40 years.
Alice married Lawrence Arko and from this marriage came one daughter, Rosemary. Sadness once again befell Alice as Lawrence passed away in 1952, after 19 years of marriage. In 1955, Rosemary married Anthony Pozarelli. The Pozarelli’s have four children, two sons and two daughters, making Alice a grandmother four times.
In reminiscing, Alice can recall playing in the dirt piles across the street from her house as that was where the Slovenian National Home was being built. Alice remembers men making a chain and hoisting bricks and barrels upon barrels of dirt. The excavated dirt was then hauled away by horse and buggy.
This year’s theme for the Federation of Slovenian National Homes is Fraternalism. This is Alice. Alice belongs to several fraternal organizations and has been and still is very active in the organizations.
Alice is a member of the Supreme Board of American
Mutual Life Association. She serves as the 2nd auditor.
Alice is a member of Lodge Kraljica Miru No. 24 AMLA and has been the secretary since 1955.
Alice is a member of St. Ann’s Lodge No. 150 KSKJ, a member of St. Lawrence Church Altar and Rosary Society, and a member of Zenska Zveza No. 15. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Slovenian National Home in Newburgh. She has been the treasurer for the last eight years.
Alice has always been a true fraternalist. In 1956, the First Eastern KSKJ Bowling Tournament took place at Slovenian East 80th Lanes. Alice was the chairman of this tournament. She also helped the tournaments of 1962 and 1968. In 1975, KSKJ National Bowling Tournament was held with 98 teams participating. Team events were held at Slovenian East 80th Lanes and Doubles at Cloverleaf.
Alice was also instrumental in helping with Zenska Zveza Tournaments. She still gets teams going into the AMLA tournaments. Fraternalism is great among the three AMLA lodges in Newburgh. The lodges are Mir No. 10, Bled No. 20 and Kralijca Miru No. 24. For the past several years a Polka Mass Picnic has been held by the three lodges. Alice takes care of reserving a bus for the people from the Newburgh area who do not wish to drive. This is supposed to be an exciting bus trip because knowing Alice, it can't be anything but great.

Fraternalism does not stop with fraternal lodges. It never ceases with the Slovenian National Home. Alice still resides at 3562 East 80th Street, the house she was born in. The Slovenian National Home holds many pleasant memories for Alice. She is now very busy with the Slovenian National Home, besides being treasurer, she is also the keeper of the keys.
Alice does the ordering of the beverages and food. She also lets all the drivers in with deliveries, and opens the hall for meetings. One of Alice’s favorite pasttimes is running across the street at the wee-hours in the morning with the ADT man and her flashlight.
Without Alice, the Slovenian National Home in Newburgh would be at a great loss. Needless to say, Alice is the Slovenian Woman of the year in Newburgh day in and day out every year.
Alice took care of her brother Mac who was confined to the house for many years. To him the Nash was a great joy, looking out the window and seeing the activity. Alice, the Srays next door and the Micklaucic’s the next neighbors, wouldn’t move for the world, the National Home is a sourse of enjoyment to them. Remembering the parades, weddings on Wednesdays lasting through Friday, and dances and parades. Alice could go on and on about her beloved Narodni Dom.
Any wonder why the Board of Directors are so very proud of our own Alice Arko.

Home Away From Home
Here we are again. 1986 has come and gone, and what a busy year!
As usual, we started the year off with Shrove Tuesday. It has always been held in the Club Room and everyone shows up for this occasion. Thanks to managers John and Alba Plutt and our button box players who are always there to entertain us.
In March, we had our Annual Winter Bowling Banquet. We had 16 teams this year. Mrs. Josie Stanonik and her staff prepared the delicious dinner. Dick Sodja and his orchestra played for the dance.
In April, we had our Spring Dance honoring Mrs. Stanonik, our “Woman of the Year.” She is a most deserving person. We had a full house. Thanks to the ladies who sang
the beautiful songs in her honor. Art Perko and his orchestra played for this affair.
As in other years we still have our sports department. We have two dart teams. They shoot darts every Wednesday night at 7:30. Everyone is welcome to stop by and watch some very fine dart throwing. They have brought home some really nice trophies. We also back two bowling teams, a volleyball team and a girls’ softball team.
In June, we held a 50/50 split raffle which was a big success.
July was a busy month. We had our parking lot black toped and sealed. Thanks to Dan Pavšek and Roy Sankovič, the job got done before our Homecoming. These two people have really (Continued on page 4)

We were also saddened to hear of the death of Henry Zalar. Henry was active at the American Slovenian Club of Fairport Harbor, Ohio and was a representative to the Federation. He was the Federation “Man of the Year” in 1982. He was the proprietor of the Vogue Room Bar in Painesville, Ohio. In June the Federation held an appreciation dinner for its representatives there.

Helen & Dan Pavšek
What can we say about Dan Pavšek? When you needed him he was there, as president, or to fill in with the house committee. If a fan had to be cleaned, or a pipe needed repair he was always ready to do the job.
Whenever there was something for our Slovenian Home he was there and for the many times we took him away from his home, we have to thank Helen, his wife, who never complained, but was always understanding. Thank you, Helen.
Since Dan has been the president, a lot has been accomplished. Remodeling of the upper hall into a beautiful party center.
Then our biggest project, the new parking lot, took a lot of hard work to get this off the ground. We expanded from a 55 car lot to 150 car lot. Our goal was to have it close to completed by Homecoming, and if you attended last year, you could see it was a job well done.
As his reign comes to an end as president, he still remains on the Board of Directors. We want to thank you again. Dam, for all your hard work.
As Dan steps down, we would like to extend our best wishes to our new President, Ed Kocin.

put many hours into this project, and it was worth it.
Our Homecoming was one of the biggest and best ever. Thanks to Dan Pavšek, Gus Petelinkar, Frank Koncilja, and A! Pestotnik. They really put their hearts and souls into this event. It takes a lot of hard work to put such a big affair as this one into action. They promise this year’s parade will be bigger and better than last year. So keep their effort in mind and show these people that all their hard work is not in vain.
Congratulations to A1 Pestotnik. Big A1 is “Federation Man of the year.”
At this celebration we also honored our hall’s “Musician of the year,” Ed Bucar. It was a beautiful event. When evening came, the festivities moved inside to our air conditioned hall where Corky Godec and Johnnie Vadnal played for our dancing pleasure. We topped off the evening with Eddie Bucar and his band bringing to a close, a most memorable day.
We hope to see everyone again this coming August.
We also thank Josie Stanonik, Marie Dular, Maria Jereb and Julie Zalar for the

homemade krofe - the aroma filled the air. All their time was donated. Thanks again, ladies.
The first matter on our agenda for fall was the Spaghetti Dinner. What would a Slovenian Home be without a little Italian in it? Thanks again to John and Alba Plutt. The dinner was super, the turnout great, and everyone left satisfied. We also gave away a color TV set. Bob Federico was the recipient.
Our yearly Poor Man’s Raffle was in October. Corky Godec played for the dance. Thanks to all who attended. It was a success.
Our second After Thanksgiving Dinner Dance was also a huge success. For this doing we have John Habat to thank. He got the ball rolling again, and before we knew it everyone was willing to help. There is much hard work put into such an event. John had his hands full making telephone calls and all the necessary arrangements. Thanks, John.
Thanks, too, to Johnnie Vadnal and his band for doing such a great job playing. The hall was Filled. There were people there from all parts of the United States. All said they were coming back next year.
And our button box players, they are a great bunch of peo-
ple. They are always there when needed. They were our host for the evening, making sure everyone had a good time. In our lower hall, which was decorated in the holiday theme, they had a sing-a-long and dancing. Everyone had a great time singing all the familiar old-time Slovenian songs they had sung when they were young. It was the wee hours in the morning before anyone was ready to go home. Thanks, again, Buttonaires.
December is always a busy month for us. We have our appreciation dinner for all our workers who helped make our Homecoming such a success. Thanks again to our button box players for providing the music for us.
As the year comes to a close, our club room is getting ready for its annual Christmas party-Everyone waits for this affair-Thanks again to managers John and Alba Plutt for all the hard work that goes into this occasion. Free food and music for everyone’s enjoyment |S part of the attraction.
The Board of Directors of the Collinwood Slovenian Horne want to thank all of the people who patronized our hall during the past year. With your help and God’s Blessing 've will have a great 1987.

Leroy Koeth named Collinwood honoree

LEROY KOETH
Special congratulations to Leroy Koeth, recipient of the Collinwood Slovenian Home Man of the Year award for 1987.
Leroy has been active in the Collinwood community for several years. His involvements include boxing instructor at Collinwood High School from 1955 to 1965, and as coach and vice-president of the Collinwood Little League.
Leroy’s participation with the Collinwood Slovenian Home includes stints as vice-president, House Committee and Board member.
The son of William and Rae Koeth, he was raised at 15501 St. Clair Avenue with six brothers and four sisters. Leroy attended St. Joseph Elementary School and Collinwood High School. Leroy had a special interest in boxing having been involved at the CYO level since 1939 at the age of 12. He had no idea that six years later he would be fighting professionally.
Leroy enlisted in the Army in 1947 and served until 1954. All of his six brothers were in the service, five of them having served in WW1I. His first five years were spent at Ft. Dix, New Jersey, where he won the First Army Boxing Champion-
ship in 1947 and 1948. Leroy met his wife, Vivian, at Ft. Dix. They were married in Wurszburg, Germany. A year later their first son, Michael was born while they were stationed in Munich.
Leroy and his family returned to Cleveland after the service and resided in the same residence in which he was raised. In 1955, he became an apprentice plumber in Local Union No. 55. He worked for 31 years in commercial buildings and nuclear power
plants. He is now employed with the City of Cleveland.
Leroy and Vivian are the proud parents of five children, Michael, 33, Robert, 30, Pam, 29, Kim, 26, and Stacey, 19. They are also the grandparents of Megan 1 1/2 and Lauren, five months.
Leroy is honored to be the recipient of the Collinwood Slovenian Home Man of the Year award. He encourages all members to support their local Slovenian Home.

Betty Rotar is Honored at Workmen’s Home
Born in the Collinwood area of Cleveland on October 14, 1929, Betty Rotar was the fifth child in a family of six. She attended St. Mary’s grade school in Collinwood, then Collinwood high school, where she graduated in the highest 10% of her class, a member of the National Honor Society and speaker at the graduation nvernices
She married Jack Rotar in 1950. They are the proud parents of Mark, 35, Jack, 33, Roberta Ann 31, Joida, 29, and Thomas, 27. There are three grandchildren. Jack recently received his 40 year award pin as a carpenter. He has donated countless hours of time and skill to the Slovenian Workmen’s Home on various projects.
Workmen’s Home is Ready for 60 More Event-Filled Years
The end of one year and the beginning of the next is a time to reflect on where we have been and where we are going. Quoting a Chinese proverb: “If you are thinking one year ahead, you plant rice. If you are thinking ten years ahead, you plant trees. If you are thinking one hundred years ahead, you educate people.” The Slovenian Workmen’s Home just celebrated the 60th anniversary of its construction. As the Pioneers of 1926 hoped to educate the next generation to support the “Home Away From Home” so do we hope to continue this dedication unto the one hundredth anniversary celebration.
The main project for this year is an extensive remodeling of the kitchen sponsored by the
Ladies Auxiliary.
The bar is now under the management of genial Bob Schauer.
We take this means to voice our appreciation to the supporters and patrons of the home who make it possible to celebrate these anniversaries.
We mourn the loss of a valued and long-time member of the Board of Directors, Mary Dolšak.
We extend warm recognition to the Home Honoree, Betty Rotar — and all the other honorees.
Future events: Split Raffle, March 19, Jadran Concert, April 11, Split Raffle May 21.
Some use history the way drunkards use lamposts — more for support than illumination.
—Steve Sliimits
Betty has three sisters, Sophie Matuch, Marion Slejko and Vida Zak, all active in fraternal and cultural events as well as brother Henry Kapel. Older brother, John, resides in California. Her mother, Jennie Kapel, at 89, remains active in the Slovenian community. Her father, John, passed away in 1974 at age 82.

Fraternal as Fraternal Can Be...
Newburgh is home to many meetings
The theme of the Federation of Slovenian National Homes for this year is Fraternalism. A more appropriate theme could not be had. The Slovenian National Home in Newburgh is as fraternal as fraternal can be. The people of the Slovenian National Home and St. Lawrence Church help each other whenever possible, be it big or small. The Slovenian Home is the meeting place of many lodges and clubs. The lodges that meet at the Home for meetings are:
Lodge Mir No. 10 AMLA Lodge Bled No. 20 AMLA Lodge Kralijca Miru No. 24 AMLA
(These three subordinate lodges have an anual Polka Mass-Picnic combination and being fraternal, all things run smoothly.)
St. Ann’s Lodge No. 150 KSKJ
St. Joseph Lodge No. 146, KSKJ
St. Lawrence Lodge No. 63 KSKJ
Lodge Slava No. 173 SNPJ Zenska Zveza No. 15
Newburgh-Maple Heights Pensioners hold Bi-monthly meetings at our hall.
Laurentian Athletic Club have their monthly meetings, and social events at The Slovenian National Home. They are domiciled at the Nash.
In the year 1986, The Slovenian East 80th Lanes became the home of a 300 GAME. This game was, bowled by a young man, Gary Kisel, a member of Fortuna Funeral Home bowling team. Gary received a certificate and a gold ring from the American
Bowling Congress. This was the first 300 game ever bowled at the Slovenian East 80th Lanes. The Slovenian National Home presented Gary a 300 Trophy for his excellent game.
The alleys are open daily, with participation daily but not to capacity. The alleys are now in the process of running a Nine Pin Tournament, which is going along good.
Throughout the years, there are mixed doubles and moonlight bowling parties held. These are promoted from our bowlers. A Moonlight Bowling will be held on March 28, with the proceeds going to the Cerebral Palsy Fund. This is an annual event and we are the recipients of having it for a second year. Along with the bowling is a Rigatoni Dinner. The cost is $10.00 per person. This includes bowling, dinner and prizes. This excellent charitable event is done under the auspices of Sheller Globe Neville, under the chairmanship of John Kužnik. For more information call 641-3236 or 883-2963.
Anyone interested in bowling during the season or promoting a mixed doubles or moonlight bowling, contact Jerry Benny, bowling alley manager at 883-2963 after 5 p.m.
The rentals at the hall are not too numerous, so to offset the overhead, the Board of Directors hold numerous doings. Among them this year will be Alice Arko Day — sometime in June.
Ernie Arko Honored Posthumously
Ernie as Ernest was always called, was the youngest of seven children born to Mary and Joseph Arko. Ernie was born on August 25, 1912 and passed away on January 26, 1987.
In 1939, Ernie married Carol Jean Phillips. Ernie and Carol had a daughter, Marlene. Marlene is married and has a son. Marlene and her family live in Scotsdale, ARizona. Ernie’s wife, Carol preceded him
in death in 1984.
Carol and Ernie were very close and did many things together. The biggest project Ernie ever undertook, was the building of his and Carol’s house, a brick one, in Independence, Ohio.
Ernie was a member of the Board of Directors of The Slovenian National Home No. 2 in Newburgh for the past 10 years and served as an Auditor for the home.
He managed the bowling alleys for four years, needless to say, Carol was a big help to him. Carol was also a member of the Board of Directors. Ernie was always available to help wherever he could. He was a real handyman, nothing was too big a job for him to tackle.
Ernie was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Independence, Ohio. With the Kiwnnis Club, Frnie was one
of their top golfers. Golf was Ernie’s favorite sport.
Ernie was a member of Lodge Bled No. 20, AMLA and a member of the Newburgh-Maple Heights Pensioners Club.
Ernie’s niece, Alta Marie Yeltz, will represent the family in accepting the Slovenian Man of the Year Award.
Ernie is sadly missed by all who knew him.

It seems like only yesterday that the March 1986 Federation Man-Woman of the year dinner took place and here it is March 1987 already. Upon reviewing 1986, it seems like so much has happened.
Our custodian, Tony Kaplan, after many years of dedicated service to the Maple Hts. Slov. National Home, decided to retire. The National Home appreciates his many years of hard work. Tony has also been on the Board of Directors for many years. He has turned over his duties to Albert Lip-nos, another Board member, who became available after retiring.
One of the major projects of the hall this year was to remove five huge maple trees that were deteriorating.
Then the parking lot was improved and black-topped.
New ceiling fans were installed in the halls for the comfort of our guests.
Six bi-monthly raffles were held and continue to be successful.
A concert put on by “Fantje na Vasi” was held in June, as always, was well attended. And our annual grape festival was a huge success. Our “little old wine-maker” kept the customers supplied with freshly pressed grape juice. There was plenty of good food and music for dancing to tempt everyone. Door prizes galore, crafts, home baked pastries and art presented by the Art Guild added to the attractions.
Last but not least our “Planina” singing society has begun rehearsals and is planning to present a concert celebrating its Fiftieth Anniversary. It will be held on Saturday, May 2nd. Planina has four charter members in the group. They are Mary Yemec, Mildred Lipnos, Nicoletta Lerchbacher, and Mary Fink who is Maple Heights Woman of the Year for 1987.

Maple Heights Home
a Landmark in the Community
The first Slovenian settler in Maple Heights was Martin Potisek who migrated around 1912. It was all farmland then and part of what was known as Bedford Township. A short time later John Fortuna came, followed by Anton Prosen, Louis Lipoglavšek (Lipnos), Ignac Novak and the Chesniks. Most of the settlers came after WWII from the Newburg area.
The Slovenes in Newburg had built a national home in 1928 so it was logical to assume the idea had also occurred to the Maple Heights Slovenians. The idea was first suggested at a meeting of Lodge Dorn No. 25 SDZ, by Anton Pelko in the fall of 1925. Andrew Rezin took him up on the suggestion and passing the hat around collected 35 cents.
A general meeting of Slovenians in Maple Heights was called to find out if there was sufficient interest to start a Home. The meeting was held January 17, 1926. The answer was yes, and the election of the first officers followed. Elected were Anton Pelko, President, Andrew Rezin, Sr., Secretary; Vincent Zinisek, Treasurer; Frank Vercek, Recording Secretary; Luka Gorup, Frank Legan and Louis Kastelic, Sr., auditors. The meeting was held at the home of John Breznikar.
The officers were to be responsible for fund raising activities for the benefit of the future home. These affairs were held at individual homes.
At the annual meting in January, 1928, Joseph Piute announced that they had been given a corporation charter by the State of Ohio under the name “Slovenian National Home of Maple Heights, Ohio.” Also, membership certificates of this corporation were now offered for sale for the first time. Volunteers went from house to house to sell them.
On May 22, 1928 a special meeting was held to approve the purchase of land on which the Home now stands.
A very important contribution was announced at the February 21, 1932 meeting. It was the formation of a 14 member Cooking Club, headed by Mrs. Anna Fortuna.
Although the Home was desperately needed by now, the depression put a crimp in their plans and it had to be postponed. By this time there were 61 Slovenian families.
Finally at the annual meeting held January 24, 1937 permission was granted to the directors to make plans to start the home. At the July 3rd meeting, the directors signed the contract to build the original Home. It was a modest, one story wooden
building with a basement; cost $6,500.
On October 3, 1937, it was dedicated. They waited 12 years for this glorious day. A great celebration took place. It started in the afternoon with a parade through the streets led by the St. Lawrence Church Band from Newburgh. The program included such personalities as Ivan Zorman and Frank Lausche.
Music was provided by button box artists Frank Novak and Matt Hojer. The Louis Sadar Orchestra played for the dance in the evening.
In a few years it became evident that the home was too small. At the annual meeting January 5, 1941 it was agreed to enlarge the facilities. The auditorium was opened August 3, 1941.
So the interest in the Home grew and it continued to serve as the heart of the Maple Heights Slovenian Community. The younger generation took an active part and it was through their insistence, plans were made to not only enlarge it, but completely renovate it. The remodeled and expanded Home was dedicated on April 21, 1963.
On November 12, 1978, the Home celebrated its 50th anniversary with a banquet. The program was highlighted by the presence of Anton Pelko, the first president and Louis
Ferfolia, who was also speaker at the original deditf tion.
Another big event was hd1 on March 4, 1979. This was Mortgage	Burnin
Celebraton. It was a great d* in the Home’s history.
For over 50 years it has seO ed Slovenian societies an organizations and members. Planina, the Slo'1 nian Singing Society, has he rehearsals and concerts her since the Home opened. Mo' recently it has become hom base for the Maple Heigh1 Button Box Club. The Pelt sioners Club hold meetinf and parties here.
The Home is a legacy fr(,|! our Slovenian fathers $ mothers for us to nurture a® perpetuate. The present difd tors are dedicated to maintain ing its high standards.

“MARY STER” — Woman of the Year
Another year has passed and another outstanding member of the Slovenian Society Home has been chosen by the Board of Directors to be acclaimed for years of service and activity. She is Mary Ster, one of Euclid’s leading ethnic cooks.
She is the daughter of immigrant Slovenian parents, Frank. Muhic and Mary Blatnik who established their homestead in the E. 55th St./St. Clair Ave. Slovenian community. Mary attended St. Vitus elementary school and Collinwood high school, majoring in economics, graduating in the class of 1936.
During the next 30 years she was employed at the Eaton Axle Plant and married Peter Ster. She then resided in the Collinwood area, belonging to St. Mary’s Church where her marriage took place. Two
daughters were born of their marriage, Eleanor Ster Stupica and Lillian Ster Ceadrowski. Their families grew, making Mary a grandmother eight times and a great-grandmother 14 times.
Since Mary’s retirement of 20 years, she has focused her energys back to the Slovenian Home on Recher Ave. Mary began with the Progressive Slovenian Women of American, Circle 3 as a member and officer, then Slovenian Women’s Union Br. 32, a 60 year member of Lodge No. 26, SNPJ, a member with various offices held in the ladies auxiliary of SNPJ Farm for 30 years, a member and present treasurer of Club Ljubljana, a member and present secretary of the Ladies Auxiliary of Slovenian Society Home for over 25 years, and a first alternate to the Board of
Directors of the Home.
Service and activity has been the secret of her total existence. Her youthful approach, her untiring efforts have been the success to many dinner/dances and especially the many wedding receptions she has served.
These traits have endowed the Slovenian Society Home and the Euclid community
making it a better place with a wealth of talent and dedication from our Slovenian Woman of the Year.
She will be honored along with the other honorees, who make up the Federation of Slovenian Homes at their annual banquet held March 15 in the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Ave.
We extend our warmest congratulations to all and especially to our “Mary Ster.” —Joseph F. Petrie, Jr.

— The Austrian Society — 1906 —
By the Late Jacob Strekal
His Last Written Accounts —
At the turn of the century ^ young immigrants from Austria saw the need for unity if jney wished to sustain ^hemselves and receive the t [!®cessary services for a better
Many persons will be sur-JJl’ised, as few, if any, ever heard the AUSTRIAN SOCIETY, ^r9anized in Euclid-Nottingham in 1906.
£ Its purpose was to promote l^tural, Educational and .Eternal activity. They pro-j °ted a few picnics and outings l9n e early days. On March 13, they took title on two acres ■and where the present Slove-Society Home now stands. Bajt was the Secretary
Frank Paik was its Presi‘
t^t. According to records from archives of the Cleveland
Catholic Diocese, they paid $48.00 for the two acres.
On October 14, 1908 they transfered about two-thirds of an acre to Monsignor Felix M. Boff, Administrator to Bishop James Farrelly of Cleveland, Ohio. The balance was later sold at a tax sale in 1910.
The Bishop had erected a Catholic Church on the property. It was of cement block construction, with a gable and slate roof.
The Austrian Society consisted of about 26 members. They were mostly from the Nottingham-Euclid area. Some of the members still have their sons and daughters in the area. Mr. and Mrs. James Rotter, Louis Recher, Vincent Kolar, Frank Brian, Treasurer, Valan-tine Komin, John Kracker, John Trskan, John Koprivec, Anton Boldin, Tom Rus, John Buehner
whose daughter was the first to be Christened in the new church. Frank Pajk, President, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Kos, Peter Andolsek, Mr. and Mrs. John Kren, she was a midwife, Jacob Lenarčič, Charlie Frank, Jacob Banko, Frank Zagar, Joe Drugovic, John Švigelj, Felix Novinc, John Korencic, Karol Rotter, and Anton Možina.
After seven years of Masses and Catholic education, preparing pupils for Communion and Confirmation, on Saturday, October 18, 1916 Reverend Paul Hribar and his sister Anna Hribar were instantly killed by a locomotive train at about East 298 Street crossing of the New York Central Railroad. That was the end of the first Slovenian Catholic Church in Euclid.

The Fraternal Foundation of Slovenian Society Home
By the Late Jacob Strekal
Serious discussions were held as early as 1916 about building a National home in the Euclid-Nottingham area. Discussed were sites on East 200th St. which was very favorable to the 3 fraternals. Due to the closeness of America going to war at that time, as well as economic conditions of the people at that time, it was well discussed and tabled for the duration of the conflict in Europe.
The most interested people at those times were mostly Slovenian, several Croations and Gottsche Germans (Kocevars) both were of great help. All worked together previously in organizing and promoting Fraternals as well as cultural groups.
Soon after the war ended interest again began to hold serious talks to organize a National Home. Under discussion was the present site of the Slovenian Society Home, which previously had been used as a Church called Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Owner at that time was John Kraker who owned a large vineyard in the area. The idea of purchasing acreage on East 200th St. was dropped, mainly because of inflation that came after the war, and poor working conditions. Depressions were numerous, prosperity lasted about one year, depressions for 2 years. Finally it was decided by the fraternals to each elect a representative to negotiate a purchase with Mr. Kracker. Amongst them were James Rotter who was the inspiration to all interested parties, Mr. Charles, (Dragatin) Massakatto who represented lodge Jutranja Zora, Creation Zajednica, and Matt Debevec, Zavedni Sosedji, SNPJ, Frank Žagar, No. 6 SDZ now AMLA.
On August 10, 1919, the title was transfered to Jugoslovanski Narodni Dorn. The first board of directors was elected on May 25th, 1919. The Directors were as follows: Charles Massakatto, President; James Robic, Vice President; Stano Turapolic, Financial Secretary, Matt Debevec, Rec. Secretary; Anton Koss, Treasurer; Frank Žagar, Auditor; Matt Nemec, Auditor; John Korencic, Auditor; Anton Možina, Anton Zele, Mike Dolnak, Louis Rechar, Anton Darovec, James Klopovic, Joe Picelj, Vincent Kolar, and Louis Zdešar.
Immediately after title transfer a renovation program began, John Fabec a bricklayer with his sons and others removed the steeple and front elevation, and erected an addition with a newfront entrance. Picnics and other activites were held throughout the year, for fund raising. After several years of bickering, the people of Euclid and Nottingham were rewarded with a National Home on Recher Avenue.
On October 5, 1919 a opening day celebration was held with the Austrian Society Band playing. Some of the band members are still around, namely Andrew Gerl, other members were Joe Noda, Steve Kapudji, Louis Zdešar, John Fabec, Rudy Bajt, Joe
Pajk, Charles Bajk.
The culmination of a dream come true did not come easy for the approx-
imately 200 or more families in the Euclid-Nottingham area. It was through hard sweat and toil, as well as a humble life. Never would they accept dole or help from the government. Instead they supported our government with their hard earned callouses on their hands. Those undaunted, couragious immigrants, ■ looking forward saw a future ahead of them and helped build America, a land they were proud of. They knew well the suffering they experienced in their land of birth under the Emperor and Kings.
Of great help to the inovations in culture as well as in promotion to the National Homes were the newspaper Enakopravnost & Prosveta who gave space as well as editorials to the many organizations that were found in the early days.
It was the progressive that supported the culture and National homes. Many burnt the midnight oils in rehearsals and preparation for the many events that were taking place.
If those walls could speak, they would tell of the many couples who met there. Today they are parents and grandparents of many who made good in a variety places in life. May the National Homes continue for many more years to serve our people, and bring pride to all Slovenes wherever they reside.

AL PESTOTNIK
AMLA Lodge Cleveland No. 9

It Continues...
Today our various fraternals have grown in membership, this a more active Slovenian Society Home. Their monthly meetings, socials, annual dinner -dances promote the good will for their members and families, the essence of every Home.
We are very fortunate to have such a cross section of fraternals represented by their membership in the various communities as well as in Euclid, Ohio. They come from every walk of life, lending their traits to
these lodges, and in turn, we draw from them to govern our Slovenian Home in its every day work and place in the Euclid community.
The following page gives proof of their strength and solid foundation with listings of various activities.

Fraternalism Swells in Lorain
Fraternalism is alive and well in Lorain even though social activities among the lodges have dwindled. We have the American Slovenian Society Lodge No. 21, AMLA; Buckeye Lodge No. 60, AMLA; SS. Cyril & Methodius Lodge No. 101, KSKJ; Immaculate Conception Lodge No. 85, KSKJ; Slovenian Women’s Union Lodge No. 40; St. Alois Lodge No. 6, AFU; and the Slovenian National Benefit Society Lodge No. 17.
We were able to obtain the following histories of some of the lodges:
The existence of a Slovenian settlement in Lorain began in the 19th century. Seeking intellectual freedom and
Physical welfare, Slovenes left their native land to settle and live in their adopted country. With them they brought the ideals culture and customs of their forefathers. It was natural for many of them to settle in the same neighborhood. This resulted in the establishment of a Slove-nian church in Lorain. Wishing to honor God in their native tongue, and with the c°operation of all, these immigrants dedicated the SS. Cyril & Methodius Slovenian Church on July 4, 1906.
The idea of organizing a ^dge to benefit these Slovenes egan t0 materialize. Under
e c>rcumstances it was deem-^ necessary to establish a ^dge on a fraternal basis, mholic in spirit and princi-c> and named after the
church.
Such a society was organized °n Oct. 28, 1906. John Piškur Anton Kerhin were the JJšanizers. Charter members ere Frank Ambrožič, An-
drew
Tomazin, John Juha,
j 0ls Novak, Mike Ulakovic, P SePh Virant, John Klemen, ^rank Gliha, and Frank ^ctei_ /\t its organizatonal j ^ *'ng, officers elected were Amk *>'s*<ur> pres., Frank Juhbrozic> vice pres., John reca’ secy., Joseph Virant, t ' secy., and Andrew °^azin, treas.

feet with progress and success following. Within a short time the lodge joined the KSKJ, today the strongest, oldest and best known fraternal organization and was designated Lodge No. 101, SS Cyril and Methodius, Lorain, Ohio.
Progressing financially, physically and spiritually, the lodge is now 81 years old with a membership of over 300. The present officers are: John Klinar, pres.; Anthony Yelenc, vice pres.; Andrew J. Pogachar, secy.; James Logar, treas.; George Merva, rec. secy.; Tom Logar and Frank Zgonc trustees; Rev. Paul Krajnik and Rev. Joseph Yelenc, spiritual directors.
Buckeye Lodge No. 60, AMLA, was organized in Lorain on June 21, 1935, by Louis Balant and Frances Bresak. Its purpose was to have a young people’s organizaton to help create more activities within the Slovenian community. Adult charter members were: Leo Svete, Sr., Joseph Svete, Jr., John Tomsic, William Bresak, Dr. Frank Mramor, Anthony Gerbec, William Matthews, Catherin Evanish, Joseph Evanish, John Jacopin, Frank Jacopin, Rose Milicic, Victor Omahen and Frank Ambrožič. Juvenile members were Leo Svete, Jr., Marilyn Svete, Henry Simmons, and Shirley Milicic.
By the July meeting, the lodge had 28 adult members and four juveniles, some of whom transferred from Lodges No. 21 and 46.
Many fund raisers were held -public picnics at Kos’ farm, dances at the Slovenian Home. Admission for the first dance was 25<L The money raised was used to support sports and social activities. The members formed men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and bowling teams. Competition within the city was keen and our teams did especially well. Our bowling teams competed in many AMLA tournaments. World War II interrupted this activity and of course never regained momentum.
The lodge is still doing well. The older folks yearn for youth and activity again. It was fun. Current officers are Irma Lesnak, pres.; Angeline Voytko, secy.-treas.; Helen Kozjan and Irma L.esnak, auditors.
It’s Really Looking Good in Lorain’s 64th Year
In our 64th year, things are looking good at the Lorain Slovenian Club. We have two new managers, Sue Kosco and Sandy Hendershot, who continue to institute new activities to involve our members: the Dart team is part of a traveling league; they back a bowling team; they sponsor pool, golf and “66” tournaments. They feature a Taco Night on Sunday evenings. During the football season, at which time our large TV screen is most enjoyed by the Club members, they also have sandwiches and various munchies available. Our Board continues to sponsor the Friday fish dinners which are supervised very ably by Joyce (Sustersic) Dugovich assisted by her very good kitchen crew and waitresses. Fish dinners are served from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and carryouts are available.
To help the Club with repairs and improvements this past year, the Board appealed and was helped very generously by our stockholders and social members donations. The floor in our small hall was replaced, and the entire hall redecorated. A restroom for the handicapped was installed and two other restrooms have been completely redone. We have two more to go.
We have Jam Sessions in the club room, usually the third Sunday of the month except during the summer. These are sponsored by our Lorain Slovenian Button Accordionists at no charge to the Club. The Women’s Auxiliary sells sausage sandwiches, pastries made by the ladies, and coffee at these events. These are held from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., and are enjoyed by a good many people who like to dance on Sunday afternoon. All musicians and polka lovers are welcome. We held seven Jam Sessions this past year.
Our steak dinner dances are usually held the first Saturday of the month except during the summer. Dinner is served from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with dancing from 9:00 p.m., to 1:00 a.m. Dinners are $10 each by reservation made with the club manager.
In addition to the above, the Board sponsored a Polka Mass and International Dance held in conjunction with the Lorain International Festival in June; a Night in Slovenia dinner, concert and dance in Oct.; a steak dinner dance and barnyard in November; and a Christmas dinner dance, all of which were very well attended.
Members of the Board of Directors are: Cyril Zgonc, pres.; Wayne Golob, vice pres, and entertainment chairman; Edward Klimczak, fin. secy.; Adolph Ravnikar, Ireas.; Helen Urbas, rec. secy.; Stanley Mramor, House Committee; Peter Celik and Mark Janosik, auditors; and Marilyn Manzo.
Our Lorain Slovenian Button Accordionists sponsored a Valentine Dance in February. They performed at the Princess Pageant at which the Lorain International Queen is selected; the International Bazaar; the church picnic and many other affairs and festivals in northern Ohio. Current members are: accordionists A1 Battistelli, Harry DeBevec, Edward Klimczak, Wayne Golob, Jim Kamnikar, and Jack Tomazic; banjoist Lou Volpe; bassist Louis Hunyad, and percussionist Frank “Butch” Tomazine, Jr. Officers are: Wayne Golob, pres.; Frank Tomazine, Jr., vice pres.; Ed Klimczak, treas.; Harry DeBevec, secy.
The Lorain Slovenian Heritage Assn, sponsors our dancers who performed at nursing homes, the church picnic, lodge Christmas parties and dances, and the Lorain International Bazaar. They are guided by the very talented Angeline (Kozjan) Voytko. The Heritage Assn, also sponsors the Slovenian princess in the Princess Pageant held in conjunction with the Interna-
tional Festival. The Heritage members and dancers also built a float with a Slovenian farm theme - a kozolc - which took first place in the Nationality Division of the International Parade. We hope to do it again this year.
Our Women’s Auxiliary held a card party and bake sales, made pirohis for sale at the Fish Frys, made strudel and . flancate which were sold at an arts and crafts show. Proceeds from these events are used to purchase supplies and equipment for the Lorain Club. Officers of the Auxiliary are Helen Urbas, pres., Fannie In-vancic, vice pres., Angeline _ Voytko, rec. secy., Agnes “ Tomazin, treas., Angeline Zgonc and Frances Pavlovčič, auditors.
Fortunately, all of our affairs have been very successful with increased attendance at these and the fish frys.
We gained 21 new stockholders this past year most of them of the younger generation.
We are hoping 1987 will be a better year for all the Slovenian Homes.
Fun times are had by all in Lorain. Here, Cyril Zgonc, president of the club’s board of directors, is crowned “Sausage King” for his long-time hobby of making Slovenian sausages.

Fraternalism abounds in Slovenians
To fraternize is to gather for many reasons as people of like cultures - with like creativity -like hobbies - like sports -simply put - like interests.
Men have formed groups such as fraternities for centuries in college simply to keep like interests continued at school and later as well. It was considered snobbish and still is - to be a sorority sister -though it is the simple principle of fraternalism. Perhaps these groups of fraternities and sororities gained members a status in careers as a result — so be it.
What is so different to frater-nalize as a lodge, a post, a circle, an association, a club, fraternity, a guild, a society?
Clubs usually gather to congregate as - widows(ers), seniors, etc. Lodges can be found as insurance groups AMLA - or the Elks, the Moose, etc. We all know the
Boy and Girl Scouts working principles, Knights of Columbus, The Masons, Kiwanis, Rotarians - all work for a cause - to serve youth or a specific disease. There are also Big Brothers, Big Sisters. They act as adults to care for less fortunate children such as those with single parents.
Our own Slovenes as well as many other cultures who em-migrated to this country, soon found a need to organize. They needed to create some form of stability for their future. The earliest perhaps was in the mining regions of Minnesota, Colorado, Pennsylvania where early settlers earned a living. Then in the early 1900s they came to Illinois, Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania. Slovenians who had a vision to better themselves were attracted to these areas where industry thrived.
Our parents saw a need to insure themselves and their children against illness and death. To say the least, it was a nominal amount which was put aside in burial organizations. Savings was out of the question. Banks were not as stable as we know them today. And even today many are folding.
To many who eventually moved out to the country or suburbs, these Slovenes desired a place to congregate for the common good. Headquarters of lodges in the large cities sent out representative officers to sell insurance to these families in outlying areas. Central locations to display cultural activities were also built.
Later people congregated at picnic groves in farm areas. The entire family could enjoy the outdoors.
In this current era there are hundreds of acres of land developed in the SNPJ recreation area in Pennsylvania. They provide swimming, gymnastics, outdoor sports, cottages, and a dance pavilion.
On Heath Rd. in Chardon, Ohio, there is the SNPJ Farm where various picnics are held.
The American Mutual Life Association (AMLA) has beautiful property in Leroy Township. There are all types
of recreational activities available as well as an excellent kitchen and magnificent dance pavilion.
The American Slovenian Catholic Union (KSKJ) also provides a suitable picnic facility on White Rd. - St. Joseph’s park - in Willoughby Hills, Ohio.
Slovenska Pristava in
At our West Park Slovenian Home we have made progress that is not readily visible. We have corrected major problems as water, sewer connections to the street, and a complete roof cover.
The parking lot is a major expense we are trying to improve and will with determination and cooperation, and time and money. George Kitko is our salesman about town. Be good to him. With his ability, integrity and other fund raisers we will succeed to improve the landmark at W. 130th and McGowan Ave.
We need more caring middle aged. And we need younger people who have integrity, tenacity to become involved in the continuation of a community Home. We need merchants and professionals who
Geneva, Ohio is a beautiful shaded, landscaped operation by Slovenes who emmigrated to America after the War. There are pavilions for dancing, and eating, and a large swimming pool. Theirs is a specific interest in youth and their activities with a strong Catholic faith and family gatherings.
care enough to support a center for all the neighborhood to meet and socialize. It’s a common need to congregate, where one can enjoy events to make fond memories as we all have. The weddings, dances, concerts, dramas, meetings, rehearsals, parties, even the preparation for events, most of it hard work -for the benefit of our Home are all memorable.
In our area we no longer seek out Slovenians. Sure, they are around if you can hunt them out of Parma, Berea, Elyria and towns circling. Since we are so integrated, third and fourth generations, ethnicity is homogeneous. We may have strong ties in one or another culture. The media gives us all a taste of each. We we do the Polish hop to Slovene, Polish, Czech polkas!
Slovenian fraternalism abounds, as evidenced by this 1958 American-Slovenian Pilgrimage Tour out of West Park,
Internal progress continues at West Park Slo Home
Slovenian Women’s Union No. 21 out of West Park is another shining example of long-time Slovenian fraternalism.

Margaret Kaus Receives Special Plaudits
The Annual Festivities of the Federation of Slovenian National Homes will again honor a man and a woman chosen by the individual Homes as dedicated persons to their heritage to entitle them to the special recognition as “SLOVENE MAN OF THE YEAR” and “SLOVENE WOMAN OF THE YEAR.” This special feature on the program is the presentation by the Federation. Besides the two honorees, each individual Slovenian Home nominates its own indjviidual to be acknowledged.
It was a special pleasure for the Board of Directors of the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Avenue to nominate and unanimously choose a staunch supporter of our Slovenian traditions and culture. She is Mrs. Anthony (Margaret) Kaus, pleasant and willing to be of help whenever there is a need for her services. She is well known in the community. For years, Marge, as she is affectionately known to her large host of friends and acquaintances, worked in the clubroom waiting on tables at Friday fish fries.
Marge was born February 10, 1915, in Arena, Penna., a small town near Herminie, Pa. Her mother, Frances (nee Suhadolnik) was born in Tomače, Yugoslavia; her father, Andrew Spik came from Tolmin, Yugoslavia. She attended Sewickley Twp. School in Herminie, Addison Jr. High School and John Hay High School, graduating in 1934. The Spik family moved to Cleveland in 1928. After graduating, Marge worked at Premier Chemical and Richman Bros.
In 1940, Cupid made a bid for a change in her life. It was Anthony (Tony, to his friends) Kaus of Oakmont, Penna. They were married May 18, 1940, at St. Vitus Church in Cleveland, then Tony wisked her back to Pennsylvania, where they stayed until 1953, when they decided to come back to Cleveland, Ohio, and settle in the St. Clair-Slovenian community. They found their niche here, both decidedly interested in family, fraternal, cultural and civic activities, which abounded then among the various organizations and groups. Mrs. Spik, Marge’s mother, was among the young women at the time, who yearned to find a place lhat would provide the facilities for activities to encourage their offspring to participate in and thus enrich their knowledge in the achievements that eventually the Slovenian people began to be recognized by the public as a highly cultural people. Mrs. Spik was among those who knew that as the saying goes, “good, wholesome food is always welcome.” The Slovenian National Home had by
this time formed the Club of Lodges.
On an experimental basis, Mrs. Spik started a fish fry with two pounds of fish. She worked for $1.00 a day. The venture took hold and soon the ladies needed more help to keep up with the serving. It was then that Marge stepped in to help out. This also brought a deeper interest in the Slovenian Home and Marge has stayed on. Until recently she worked waiting on tables at fish fries, from 1959 until 1982, when she retired, and now, although she cannot do so, she is found doing other tasks that need to be done.
Marge is a member of Comrades Lodge No. 566, SNPJ, which she served as auditor and recording secretary for 19 years; Progressive Slovene Women Circle 2, which she serves as secretary for 18 years, and says the ladies are just wonderful; the St. Clair Pensioners Club, at which she was first elected as vice president and for the last six years as president; and the Ladies’ Auxiliary S.N.D., formerly as auditor. She is also representative to the Federation of Pensioners group.
Among her civic activities, Marge also belonged to the former 23rd Ward Democratic Club, now Ward 13. She worked in the voting booth as judge, and now for many years as presiding judge.
The Kaus family moved to Wickliffe, Ohio, in 1985, but still attend the activities at the St. Clair Slovenian Home, which her mother called “her second home,” and Marge says she feels the same way about it, adding, “I’m lucky

We love going to the different affairs held there, and feel good knowing that we try to do something to benefit the Home. Recently the ‘Friends of Slovenian National Home’ Club was formed and we wholeheartedly joined the membership.”
Margaret and Tony Kaus are the parents of three children, David, Judith Wotowiec and Kenneth, and grandparents of eight grandchildren.
On this special occasion in the life of Margaret, the Board of Directors of the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Avenue, along with her large circle of friends and family, extend sincere congratulations and best wishes that good health will keep the Kaus’ active doing what they enjoy while boosting the well being of the Home for generations to come.

Who is Your Brother?
by James V. Debevec
Why is it a complimentary gesture to refer to one another as brother?
First, it is an indication of a bond through common ground. In a blood tie the common ground is obviously the same parents, or parent.
In a social relationship, a brother unity can be persons with the same attitude.
Brothers and sisters may believe in a like cause such as preserving a culture — perhaps the Slovenian language or heritage, or music, or art.
The advantages of being a brother or sister is you can always count on each other whenever a need arises. A brother will commensurate with you in time of sorrow or share your joy during times of elation. But most of all, you can count on a brother whenever you need a friend — or just plain companionship.
And the places where many Slovenian brothers and sister have chosen to congregate are the Slovenian Homes and Clubs which for the most part the members have built themselves. These structures provide a plaqe where a large number of p^fsons can gather in a domač or homey atmosphere, be it a family gathering, a wedding, a meal after a funeral, a lodge meeting, or a place where a person can share refreshments with friends — or brothers.
Therefore, one of the highest honors a person can achieve in this life is to be called a brother member in the fraternity of a Slovenian National Home.

40th Anniversary For Fairport Harbor Club
This year tne Amencan-Slovenian Club in Fairport Harbor is celebrating its 40th anniversary. It was chartered as a non-profit organization to operate in the state of Ohio in 1947, only months after a handful of Slovenes met to first organize at the home of Andy Hervatin who served as the Club’s first president.
In its earliest days the fledgling group met in the homes of various members. Those days were filled with hard work and time-consuming fund-raising projects. It wasn’t until 1952, under the second president of the Club, John Drobnick, that the members took their first step toward making their dream a reality by purchasing the property at 617 Third St. It is still the home of the Club.
The property included a home and a three-car garage. The home was rented out and the garage was transformed into the club rooms. Since then the facility has been renovated and expanded twice, the last time only a few years ago when the facility was doubled in size.
Today the club boasts several hundred regular and social members and is considered home for several fraternal and social groups including Lodge 30, AMLA; Lodge 355, SNPJ; the local lodge of the Slovenian Women’s Union, and the recently formed Fairport Pensioners Club.
It is also the home base of the Fairport Ensemble which was first organized years ago as the Slovenian Club Button Box Band. The group still plays at the Club every other week on a Thursday night, usually to a
full house. The group has recently released its second LP album and is considered to be one of the best button box bands in the area.
The Club is run by a Board of Directors. Serving on the Board currently are Tony Satej, president; Stan Modic, vice president; Bill Snyder, financial secretary; Dorothy Barbis, recording secretary; Frank Kochevar, Ann Cecelic, and Mary Kapel, auditors; and Jan Barbis and Leroy Jackopin, sgts. at arms. Manning the bar is Herman Kapel, who is spelled by twin brother, Charles. The Club is open every evening starting at 6 p.m. (except Monday nights during the winter months) and on Saturday and Sunday opens at noon.
Several activities keep things humming at the Club the year around. In the summer, there is a balinca league which runs Monday through Thursday to accommodate the 16 teams. The winning team last summer included Tony Bertone, Tony Plumbo, Fred DiLisio, and Mike Sutch.
Three years ago, a puck bowling league was established to liven things up during the winter and has been a success ever since. Last winter’s winning team included Jim and Arlene Mulqueeny and John and Wilma Kovaly.
In addition to the leagues, the Club sponsors monthly dinners for the members. Coming up for the first time will be a St. Patricks Day party in March, and in April the Club will be honoring its own Man of the Year, Warren Fabian, with a dinner.
Warren Fabian Is Fairport’s Top Man
Past president Warren Fabian has been named Man-of-the-Year by the American-Slovenian Club in Fairport Harbor. He was selected for the honor by the club’s board of directors and as such will be honored at the annual Slovenian Man of the Year banquet at the St. Clair Slovenian Home in Cleveland in March.
Mr. Fabian joined the Fair-port Slovenian Club in 1969 and was elected to the Board of Trustees the following year. He had served on the board continuously for 15 years — until 1985 when he declined re-election to take a “breather.” His first year on the board he served as the sergeant-of-arms and in 1971 took over as the recording secretary, a position he held until 1977 when he served one year as president. In 1978, he again took on the job of recording secretary and held it until he left the board. In all, he has served as recording secretary for 13 years.
In 1972 Warren started to play the button-box along with fellow club members, Lou Grzely and John Perrotti. From that effort grew the Fairport Button Box Club which started playing regularly at the Club on alternate Thursdays. He feels that being one of the founders of the button box club is one of “my proudest accomplishments.”
The musical group grew and flourished into what is now

Once the Button Box Club got started, Warren switched and started playing the string bass in the late 1970s and recently moved to the bass guitar. He now plays with the Tim Grzely Orchestra, appearing regularly at the Chalet Dubonet and Ferrante Winery in Madison.
Warren was born May 16, 1936 in Cleveland, the son of Frank and Ida Fabian. He has one brother, Ronald.
The family moved to Euclid in 1937 and Warren attended schools there, graduating from Euclid High School in 1954. A year later he joined the Army and served for two years at the Nike Headquarters, White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico.
......
