KOROTANCI NA KOROŠKEM
Danes ob 6. uri zjutraj, je predsednik pevskega zbora Korotan Ivan Hauptman poklical uredništvo A.D. iz Celovca, Avstrija, in podal naslednje poročilo o zadnjih dneh obiska Korotancev in Krešovcev na Primorskem.
“Dne 20. julija smo imeli izlet v Padovo. Ogledali smo si prekrasno baziliko sv. Antona. Nato smo se peljali v Benetke, in tam po znanem kanalu Grand do trga sv. Marka. Trg je bil natrpan s turisti vseh dežel. Ogledali smo si katedralo sv. Marka in njene znamenite mozaike. Na srečo se ni nihče izgubil. Vodili so nas goriški spremljevalci in sicer dr. Humar, dr. Pavlin, g. V. Prašnik in dr. Žpacapan.
Za poslovilni večer smo bili povabljeni v Števerjan, ki je že v goriških Brdih, zahodno od Gorice. V parku pod borovci so nas sprejeli in pozdravili predstavniki krajevnega društva, vodja Hle-detovega ansambla in igralci skupine, za tem nas je pozdravil župan števerjanske občine g. Klanjšček, za njim pa poslanec za Julijsko kraji-no-Furlanijo g. Drago Štoka. Med Števerjanci ter Korotan-ci in Kresovci je prevladovala res prava in iskrena domačnost. Čeprav je bil ponedeljek, se je zbralo zelo veliko ljudi. Precej jih je prišlo tudi iz Gorice. Bila je že polnoč, ko smo se, odpeljali nazaj v Gorico.
V torek, 21. julija, zjutraj smo si na povabilo vinogradnika g. Gradnika, ki je nečak pesnika Alojzija Gradnika, o-gledali njegovo staro in novo vinsko klet. Tam nas je lastnik, ki je predsednik pokrajinske slovenske skupnosti, pozdravil in po domače pogostil z odličnim vinom.
Potem smo se podali na sv. Višarje. Tam nas je že čakala skupina koroških rojakov, med njimi ga. Tischler-jeva in g. Trapp, župnik v koroški Ziljski Bistrici.
Imeli smo čudovito lepo vreme. Večina nas je počakala na vzpenjačo, nekaj mladih pa se je podalo peš na vrh. Na vrhu smo uživali krasen razgled na zahodne slovenske Julijske Alpe. Za mlade je bilo to res izredno doživetje. Navdušeni so bili nad lepoto Alp.
Po ogledu planin smo imeli sv. mašo v cerkvi na Sv. Višanj ih.
Ob 4. uri popoldne smo se podali na pot proti Celovcu. Na poti na Koroško smo zavili v Ziljsko Bistrico, kjer smo pri Pippovih pogasili našo žejo. Tam je bil tudi čudovit razgled na Karavanke in še prav posebno na Dobrač. Zvečer smo srečno prispeli v Celovec.”
G. Hauptman je rekel, da bo morda poročal po telefonu o doživljajih skupine med obiskom na Koroškem zopet prihodnji teden.
Kompromisne rešitve sporov med delavci in vlado v Poljski
VARŠAVA, Polj. — Predstavniki Solidarnosti in poljske vlade so dosegli kompromisno rešitev sporov ki so jih povzročili pristaniški delavci v Gdansku in uslužbenci letalske družbe Lot. Nezadovoljni delavci so obljubili, da ne bodo štrajkali.
Pristaniški delavci so zahtevali povišanje svojih plač in več drugih ugodnosti. Vlada sicer ne bo povišala delavskih plač, pristala pa je na izboljšanje zdravstvenih storitev, do katerih so upravičeni, delavci in člani njihovih družin. Prav tako je vlada odobrila posebne nagracje za delavce z visokimi službenimi leti ter za delo, opravljeno pod težkimi oz. nevarnimi pogoji.
Uslužbenci Lota so zahtevali od vlade pravico, da sami izberejo direktorja svojega podjetja, kar je spominjalo na videz sistema samoupravljanja v SFRJ. Poljski režim še ni prišel do tega, da bi delavci sami imenovali svoje direktorje, predsednik vlade Wojciech Jaruzelski pa je obljubil, da bo parlament začel razpravljati o zakonu o samoupravljanju delavcev na Poljskem.
Včeraj so v Varšavi sporočili, da bo treba cene nekaterih vrst hrane povišati tudi do 400 odstotkov.
V ameriškem kongresu je več k o n g r e snikov izrazilo podporo pobudi, naj bi ZDA poslale hrano Poljski. V predstavniškem domu je s tem v zvezi v ospredju kong. Edwin Derwinski iz Illinoisa, v zveznem senatu pa sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Nepojasnjena nesreča iranskega letala v sovjetski Armeniji
MOSKVA, ZSSR. — Sovjetska agencija Tass je objavila poročilo, v katerem pravi, da je prišlo do trčenja v zraku med nekim iranskim letalom in sovjetskim letalom. Nesreča naj bi se zgodila blizu glavnega mesta Armenije, Jerevana.
V Tassovem poročilu ni bilo povedano, koliko je bilo žrtev nesreče, ne, ali je po trčenju treščilo sovjetsko letalo na tla. Tass je pisala, da je strmoglavilo iransko letalo, ki je potem zgorelo.
Kot kaže, letalo ni imelo dovoljenja, da bi letelo nad ozemljem ZSSR. Poskusi sovjetskih kontrolorjev, da bi navezali stik z, letalom, niso uspeli.
III.
Namesto, da bi pravilno pisali o Slovencih, ko je šlo za Karantanijo že okrog 1. 600, so pisali o “Alpskih Slovanih” in s tem izničili slovensko izoblikovano narodnost za tisti čas. Pa smo bili na njihovi ravni, kot nekakšni rod iz slovenske neizoblikovane gmote, brez omike in brez prave kulture.
j Tako pišejo o nas še danes. In kdo bi pričakoval, od njih so ta izraz in z njim povezano trditev prevzeli tudi sami slovenski pisci ter jo prav tako ponavljajo, češ da naš jezik v karantanskih časih še ni bil izoblikovan, torej tudi narodnosti ni bilo in smo se Slovenci stvorili šele kasneje.
Kdaj pa, ne vedo povedati.

Joseph (Whitey) Dolinar
V četrtek, 23. julija, je v Euclid General bolnišnici po kratki bolezni umrl Joseph (Whitey) Dolinar z 1924 Skyline Dr. na Richmond Hts., rojen leta 1915 v Gowandi, N.Y., od koder je prišel v Cleveland kot otrok in živel v collinwoodski naselbini, mož Mary, roj. Kovačevič, s katero je bil poročen 40 let, brat Franka, Mary Lorber in pok. Ann Kuhel, veteran druge svetovne vojne, v kateri je služil kot .narednik ameriške vojske in sodeloval v bitkah v Franciji in Nemčiji, zaposlen kot špediter pri Signode Corp. vse do svoje upokojitve. Pogreb bo iz Želetovega pogrebnega zavoda na E. 152 St. v ponedeljek, 27. julija, ob 8.15 zjutraj, v cerkev Marije Vnebovzete ob 9., nato na pokopališče Vernih duš. Na mrtvaškem odru bo jutri, v soboto, od 7. do 9. zvečer in v nedeljo od 2. do 5. popoldne in od 7. do 9. zvečer.
Sovjetski vojaki naj bi bili oboroženi z nezakonitim strelivom
LONDON, Vel. Brit. — Znana revija Jane’s trdi, da Sovjetska zveza oborožuje svoje vojake ,s tkzv.- “dum-dum” strelivom, kar je prepovedano po m e d n a r o dnem pravu. Dum-dum krogle eksplodirajo, ko zadenejo človeka, pri tem povzročajo hude rane. Sovjetska vojska je začela svoje vojake oboroževati z novimi 5.45-milimetrskimi puškami. V teh puškah naj bi rabili omenjene dum-dum krogle.
Med drugim je Jane’s poročala, da so v Zvezni republiki Nemčiji izumili novo puško, katere strelivo ne bo potrebovalo zabojev. Ako bo izum prestal vse preizkušnje, bo pomenil revolucionarni preobrat v tehnologiji strelnega orožja.
Uredniki Jane’s imajo zanesljive stike z vojaškimi krogi v vseh zahodnih državah. Seznanjeni so tudi z u-'gotovitvami zahodnih obveščevalnih služb o vojaških zadevah in tehnologiji v komunističnih in drugih državah. Na podlagi vsega tega so publikacije Jan e’s splošno priznane kot avtoritativne.
Danss predsedniške volitve v Iranu; zmagal bo Radžgj
TEHERAN, Iran. — Danes so v tej državi izredne predsedniške volitve, na katerih bo brez dvoma zmagal edini resni kandidat, predsednik iranske vlade Mohammad Radžaj. Volitve so sklicali potem, ko so odstavili prejšnjega predsednika države Aboi-hassana Banija-Sadra, ki se še vedno skriva nekje v zahodnem Iranu.
Med volivno kampanjo se je prijavilo kar 71 kandidatov, vendar je poseben državni komite potrdil kandidature' samo 4 le-teh. Kljub temu, da ima Radžaj uradno 3 nasprotnike, dejstvo je, da so vsi trije izjavili, da v resnici podpirajo Radžaja in svojim pristašem svetovali, naj glasujejo danes za predsednika vlade.
Razmere v Iranu so obupne. Vojna z Irakom traja že 10 mesecev, Radžaj in drugi Bani-Sadrovi nasprotniki so trdili, da odstavljen predsednik ni hotel zmage nad Irakom. Ali bo Radžaj uspešnejši v tem smislu, je silno dvomljivo.
Atentati so na dnevnem redu. Atentatorji streljajo na člane vlade in vodilne mula-he.
Radžajeva vlada pa nadaljuje z množičnimi usmrtitvami svojih nasprotnikov. Redek je dan, ko ne usmrti vsaj enega nasprotnika režima ajatole Homeinija.
ATENTATORJA NA PAPEŽA JANEZA PAVLA II., AGC0, ČAKA DOSMRTNA JEČA!
inflacijska siapja v IM znižana na šes! odstotkov m leto
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Trgovinsko tajništvo je objavilo poročilo, v katerem trdi, da se je inflacijska stopnja v ZDA znižala v trimesečju od aprila do junija letos na 6 odstotkov na leto. V prvem letošnjem trimesečju naj bi bila ta stopnja na ravni 9.8 odstotka na leto.
Vzrok, zakaj se je inflacijska stopnja tako znatno -pomirila, je, da so ostale cene energije in hrane v bistvu nespremenjene. Gospodarstveniki pa poudarjajo, da je sorazmerno nizka inflacijska .stopnja najbrž kratkotrajnega značaja.
RIM, It. — Italijansko sodišče je obsodilo 23 let starega turškega državljana in atentatorja na papeža Janeza Pavla II. Mehmeta Alija Agpo na dosmrtno ječo. Po veljavnem italijanskem zakonu bo imel Agca pravico, zaprositi za pogojno izpustitev šele po 28 letih. V sodni obravnavi je sodelovalo 6 porotnikov in 2 sodnika.
Agca sam se ni udeleževal zasedanj sodišča, ker ni priznal pristojnosti omenjenega sedišča. Zahteval je, naj bi ga sodilo sodišče. Vatikanske države. Navzoč je bil samo prvi dan sojenja, ko je podal 5-mi-nutni nagovor v turščini. Priznal pa je, da je streljal na papeža.
Agcov odvetnik ga je branil s trdtivjio, da med atentatom storilec ni bil priseben. Pietro d’Ovidio je po izrečeni sodbi prosil, naj bi znižali kazen na 30 let, a ni uspel.
Prvo leto v zaporu bo moral Agca prebiti v celici samici.

Topniške dvoboji med PIO in Izraelci; ZDA kritične do Begina
JERUZALEM, Izr. — WASHINGTON, D.C. — Topničarji izraelske vojske še vedno obstreljujejo palestinske položaje v južnem Libanonu, gverilci PLO pa izstreljujejo rakete in granate na izraelske naselbine v severnem delu Izraela. Iz naselbine Kirjat gimona, ki jo je obiskal sam izraelski predsednik vlade Menabem Begin se je začasno izselila večina občanov.
Izraelski loyci-bombniki na-nadijujejo z bombardiranjem mostov v južnem Libanonu, v teh napadih pa padejo večinoma civilisti. Tako poročajo zahodni novinarji, ki o-biskujejo prizadete kraje.
R e a ganova administracija je silno jezna nad Beginom, ker smatra, da izraelski napadi ovirajo možnost kompromisne rešitve krize. Kljub temu, da je Reaganov osebni odposlanec Philip C. Habib še vedno na delu, ni imel doslej nobenega uspeha.
Pomen slovenskega jezika
Tudi tega ne, da prav dvojina v slovenskem jeziku kaže na prakorenino, kakršne v drugih jezikih ni. Zato tudi ni mogla šele potem nastati.
Ne da bi upoštevali, da strokovnjaki v takih primerih pišejo tudi pod pritiskom, npr. nemško liberalnega tabora, ki je bil na vladi v monarhiji in je odločal o službenih mestih na univerzi in v inštitutih ali režima šestoja-nuarske diktature v predvojni Jugoslaviji, ki je imel namen ustvariti en jugoslovanski narod. Vsako pozitivno pisanje o slovenskem narodu je imelo v takšnih razmerah negativne posledice za samega pisca.
Iz povedanega lahko povze-memo, kakšna napletena ozadja se pogosto skrivajo za na-
videz nedolžnimi oznakami, kot je tista o “Alpskih Slovanih”, in kako globoko in daljnosežne posledice lahko imajo.
V primeru pravilnih vrednotenj slovenske kulture in jezika, so te krive oznake u-činkovale naravnost porazno. Ob stiku z drugimi jeziki in kulturami so slovenski ljudje množično podlegli, najhuje na Koroškem in v Trstu, zakaj pod vplivom slovenskih izobražencev, pesnikov in pisateljev, ki so tudi nasedli “znanstvenim” prot isloven-skim trditvam, so videli v lastnem nekaj manjvrednega v primeri s tujim svetom. In so zato to manjvredno toliko laže opustil. Še danes se to dogaja. Večinoma verujemo pod vplivom propagande še v
manjvrednost kmečkega porekla, čeprav gre za prakul-turo, kot smo prej. omenili. In čeprav se danes naj višja kulturna javnost ozira k tistemu naravnemu kmečkemu, lepemu in preprostemu, kar tako hitro izginja. K “rustikalnemu”, kot pravijo.
Slovence čaka torej življenjska naloga. Ali bomo prišli do pravilnih pojmovanj o lastnem poreklu in kulturi ali pa se bo proces asimilacije nadaljeval in bomo podlegli “višjim” kulturam. In to se lahko zgodi hitreje, kot si lahko predstavljamo. Bomo znali naše množice pravilno poučiti in se kot sodoben narod prebiti v prihodnost, v moderno dobo?

(Naš tednik)
Izrečeno kazen predvideva zakon za vse uspešne ali neuspešne atentate na predsednika italijanske republike aii kateregakoli drugega tujega predsednika države. Papež namreč vodi Vatikansko državo, s katero imajo mnoge države redne diplomatske odnose.
Nikoli ni bilo najmanjšega dvoma, da je bil Agca tisti, ki je streljal na Janeza Pavla II. dne 13. maja letos in ga težje ranil. Streli Agcovega revolverja so ranili tudi dve Američanki, Ann Odre in Rose Hall. Obe ženski sta o-krevali, nista pa pričali na sodni obravnavi zoper Agco.
Papež, sam okreva počasi v bolnišnici Gemelli. Njegovi zdravniki menijo, da se bo kmalu vrnil v svojo rezidenco v Vatikanskem mestu. O-sebe, ki so papeža obiskale zadnje čase, pravijo, da se mu zdravje res vrača, da pa je precej shujšal in je videti suhljat.
Predsednik Reagan ni več tako priljubljen med volivci v ZDA
CHICAGO, lil. — Najnovejša javna povpraševanja kažejo, da p r i 1 j u b Ijenost predsednika Ronalda Reagana med ameriškimi volivci v zadnjih mesecih peša.
Znani zbira lec podatkov Louis Harris je objavil poročilo, v katerem trdi, da v tekočem mesecu podpira Reagana oz. smatra, da dobro o-pravlja svoje dolžnosti, 55 odstotkov Amerikancev, 43 odstotkov pa je drugačnega mnenj a.
V juniju je pohvalilo Reagana 60, kritično do njega pa je bilo 39 odstotkov, v mesecu aprilu je podprlo predsednik kar 69, nasprotovalo pa le 27 odstotkov ameriških volivcev.
Analitiki javnega mnenja v ZDA menijo, da je visoko priljubljenost Ronalda Reagana aprila letos pripisati predvsem dejstvu, da je preživel atentat, storjen 31. marca.
Volivci so veseli predvsem nad Reaganovim imenovanjem ge. Sandre O’Connor za sodnico vrbo vnega sodišča ZDA (68:23), o njegovem obnašanju kot predsednik (64:32) in o njegovem' vedenju do zveznega kongresa (67:23).
Najbolj so kritični do Reagana zaradi njegovega zadržanja do upokojencev, do tistih, ki imajo nizke osebne dohodke, do tistih, ki so pohabljeni in tistih, ki sploh pripadajo revnejšim slojem ameriške družbe (65:32).

Zasoljeno poročanje o Adamiču

Dr. Joža Vilfan, ki je dejansko vodil slovensko delegacijo, katera je sodelovala na simpoziju o Louisu A-damiču na univerzi Minnesote in se poleg tega udeležila več spominskih prireditev, posvečenih Adamiču v raznih slovensko-ameriških naselbinah; je o svojih vtisih govoril z znanim slovenskim novinarjem in sodelavcem Slovenske izseljenske matice Bogdanom Po-; gačnikom. O Vilfanovem obnašanju na simpoziju sem pisal pred tedni, ko sem ocenjeval simpozij, pri tem sem posebno poudaril Vilfanovo očitno, razočaranost nad besedami bivšega kongresnika; Johna Blatnika, ko je le-ta izrazil svoje mnenje, da je Louis , Adamič .napravil samomor. Članek novinarja Pogačnika v ‘Delu’ te Blatnikove trditve nikjer ne omenja. , .	;
Seveda je Vilfan ocenjeval nastop slovenske delegacije v ZDA s pohvalnimi besedami. Nobenega člana oz. članice delegacije ni ne posredno ali ne neposredno kritiziral. Bil pa je dokaj kritičen do organizatorjev simpozija, do Blatnika, do tistih, ki niso bili pripravljeni napihovati Adamičeve vloge kot pisatelja ali politika. Slednji so po Vilfanu pripadali “desničarskim” in “katoliškim” krogom, vsaj tokrat pa ne fašističnim! Naj omenim tu, da nameravam ponatisniti Pogačnikov članek v celoti v naslednji, ponedeljkovi številki A.D. Tako boste imeli bralci sami priliko, primerjati moje in dr. Velikonjevo pisanje z ocenami in mnenji, izraženimi v Pogačnikovem članku.
Prvo vprašanje, katerega se je Vilfan dotaknil, je bilo, kako so v ZDA zabeležili udeležbo slovenske delegacije. Bil je dokaj razočaran, je priznal Vilfan. V a-meriškem tisku in radio-TV v resnici ni bilo velikega odmeva, tudi ne v slovenskem tisku v ZDA, kjer je bilo pisanje v nekaj ozirih dokaj kritično. “V glavnem,” je trdil Vilfan, “so Američani — svojemu Adamiču o-stali še precej dolžni..”
Glede simpozija samega, je bil naveČji uspeh v tem, da je bil Adamiču posvečen znanstveni simpozij na u-niverzitetni ravni. Navzočih je bilo več ameriških in kanadskih znanstvenikov. Slabša stran naj bi bila. “... izmikanje, taktično uravnovešanje ali celo sovražno zanikanje.”

CLEVELAND, O. — V zadnji petkovi številki A.D. je’ J.P. v svojih Drobtinicah^ sladkih in žaltavih,' pisal tudi o romanju v Lemontu, ,5. julija letos;
'Treba je popraviti, da molitev za mladino ni oznanil nobeden izmed patrov in ne sodeloval. Predlog je prišel od meni nepoznane Čikažan-ke, ki je odsotnost tamkajšnje mladine bolj občutila, .kakor mi iz Clevelanda. Dejstvu odgovarja, da je tisti prostor pred Groto ob oltarju letos bil prazen in brez mladih -pevcev, ki so sicer s svojim lepim petjem skozi vša leta', kar se vrši vsakoletno vseslovensko romanje na prvo nedeljo v juliju, spremljali maš-'; no daritev.
•Pred leti se je vršil v Clevelandu prav istočasno z romanjem. Slovenski dan. Tudi takrat smo. se spomnili z molitvijo vseh tigtih;'j ki so se zbrali. na Slovenskem dnevu. Mnogim i se1-je zdelo, da ni za take velike prireditve primerno zbrati pray tisti dan,: ko se desetletja opravlja v Lemontu vseslovensko romanje.
Doma; imajo Brezje, kamor se stalno vsako nedeljo vrše razna romanja; Enkrat na leto pa celo tam stvari prisluh-; nejo,-kolje Vseslovensko romanje ‘k- L Mariji ;'Pomagaj. Vsako1 leto za tisto nedeljo pride drug slovenski škof, ki opravi sv. daritev. Letos, če sem prav poučen, je bil na vrsti novi mariborski škof Kramberger.
Za molitev samo, pa je prav, če smo vedno in vsakomur hvaležni, saj način usli-šanja je v upravi božje Previdnosti.

Da je do konference prišlo, se
je treba zahvaliti ki pa se je očit-
organizatorju dr. Rudiju Vecoliju, no boril z gmotnimi težavami — zaradi česar tudi išče za iskano gradivo zbornika našega gmotnega sodelovanja — pa tudi, da se je želel zavarovati pred sumom, češ da organizira levičarsko konferenco, zaradi česar je pritegnil iz slovenskih izseljenskih vrst tudi nekaj katoliško in desničarsko usmerjenih referentov, ki v bistvu Adamiču niso bili naklonjeni.” Kaj naj bi točno povedali o Adamiču ti sovražni referenti, ni nikjer zabeleženo y članku, niti njihova imena niso navedena. Pri tem je tudi izključena prof. dr. Lorraine' Lees, ki je trdila, da je bila Adamičeva vloga med vojno in po vojni v zvezi s preusmerjanjem ameriške politike do Tita in partizanov pičla.
; Sam bom poslal dr. Vecoliju angleški prevod Vilfanovih besed in ga prosil, naj podrobneje pove, kako se je odločil o tem, kdo naj se udeleži konference in kdo ne, in zakaj. Vem vsaj za dva Slovenca, ki bi rada sodelovala na simpoziju, pa nista bila povabljena. Vsekakor bi morala biti zraven tudi ga. Mary Molek, katere mož Ivan je kot takratni urednik Prosvete nasprotoval Adamiču in bil premagan, ko so zmagali pro-Titovski elementi v SNPJ.
Novinar Pogačnik, vsaj' tako sklepam po članku, sam citira mnenje, ki naj bi ga izrekel kong. Blatnik v članku neimenovanemu predstavniku Slovenske izseljenske matice v Washingtonu, D.C., po simpoziju. Naj povem tu, da so predstavniki Matice obiskali Washington in se med bivanjem v mestu srečali s kongresniki slovenskega rodu Eckartom, Oberstarjem in Kogovškom. O tem bom pisal na tem mestu prihodnji petek.
Tukaj Pogačnik: “Vsekakor je nekdanji kongres-man in prijatelj Jugoslavije John Blatnik v ločenem pogovoru s predstavnikom Slovenske izseljenske matice "na obisku v Washingtonu izrazil kritično misel, češ da simpozij po krivdi ameriških organizatorjev ni naletel na ustrezen odmev v ameriški javnosti in tisku, pa tudi to, da bi se ga verjetno lahko udeležilo več a~ meriških študentov nasploh, še posebej pa tisti, ki so jugoslovanskega porekla.”
Piknik in tekmovanja Slovenskega športnega kluba
CLEVELAND, O. — Fantje in dekleta Slovenskega športnega kluba prav vljudno vabijo slovensko mladino, starše in prijatelje na svoj drugi “Superstars” piknik, ki se bo vršil v nedeljo, 9. avgusta, na Slovenski pristavi.

Klub slov. upokojencev v Newburghu-fiaple Its. poroča o svojem delu
CLEVELAND, O. — Naš klub slovenskih upokojencev deluje na območju Newburg-ha in Maple Hts. Število članov je vedno okoli 200, napredujemo zadovoljno in složno. Nekateri člani nas zapuščajo, odhajajo tja, od koder ni Vrnitve, zadnje čase pa se
Proti koncu svojega članka pa Pogačnik citira Vilfana glede samih Blatnikovih besed o Adamiču. “Vsekakor je predstavljal sorazmerno razočaranje prispevek Johna Blatnika, to tembolj, ker je pred meseci našemu mlademu raziskovalcu Matjažu Klemenčiču napovedal odkritja o Adamičevi še nepojasnjeni smrti na podlagi dokumentov FBI. Zdaj je nasprotno dvorezno poudaril, da ni važno, kako je Adamič umrl, ampak kako je živel in delal! Da morda le ni prebral dokumentov FBI in se prav zaradi tega previdno umaknil?”
To pisanje vzbuja sum, da namigne Vilfan na možnost, naj bi Adamiča ubili agenti ameriške vlade, naj bi Blatnik to izvedel iz dokumentov in se ne upal nič javno povedati. Kateri drugi razlog naj bi Blatnik imel? Zanimivo je tu, da je imel dr. Joža Vilfan vso možnost, naravnost vprašati Blatnika, zakaj je sedaj mnenja, da je Adamič napravil samomor. Saj je sedel zraven'Blatnika na simpoziju in sta, kakor sem opazil, večkrat pogovarjala. Prav tako bi se lahko bil zanimal Tanjugov dopisnik iz New Yorka Tadej Labernik, ki je objavil v “Delu” lažnjivo trditev, da “nihče več ne verjame” v možnosti Adamičevega samomora. Končno, tudi predstavnik Matice, zgoraj omenjen, bi lahko Blatnika naravnost vprašal o tem. Pa menda ni, tako kot nista Vilfan in Labernik.
Zasoljeno poročanje o Adamičevem simpoziju iz Ljubljane je zgovoren dokaz, da se tam še vedno držijo načela “Mi — Vi”. Šibkost njihovega obnašanja pa je v tem, da morajo sproti lagati in prikrivati. Resnica ni na njihovi strani. Potrebno je, da tisti, ki_ so pripravljeni iskati resnico o Adamiču ali o drugih stvareh, to storijo na podlagi strogo znanstvene metodologije in ne preko napihnjenih, nepodprtih trditev. Takšno, slednje ravnanje naj prepuščamo drugim.
je vpisalo v klub lepo število novih članov. Vsem tem izrekamo: Dobrodošli!
Na žalost, sporočiti moram, da je več članov bolnih, tako, da ne morejo priti na seje. Ravno ko pišem tele vrstice, se nahaja v bolnišnici klubov tajnik Andrew Resen, kakor tudi računski nadzornik John Pirc. Želimo, da se jima kmalu povrne zdravje, prav tako ostalim našim bolnikom
Kar je najbolj žalostno, jej da nas naši pionirji, ki so se trudili in delali za napredek na vseh področjih slovenske skupnosti, zapuščajo za vedno.
Na Maple Hts. 'imamo .samo še dva pionirja, kulturna delavca, bodisi pri Slovenskem domu bodisi pri drugih društvenih organizacijah. O-badva je bolezen priklenila na dom.
Hvale vredno pa je, da se| mlajši rod zanima za sloven ske tradicije in pesmi.
V letu 1980 smo izgubili vsled nenadne smrti člana na-’ šega kluba Louisa Finka. Bil je izredno aktiven pri Slovenskem domu, enako pri drugih slovenskih ustanovah. ■
Dne 20. junija letos pa smo spremili na zadnji poti našega^ člana Freda Filipsa. Dokler mu je zdravje dopuščalo, je bil aktiven v več ustanovah. Blag mu spomin,; prav tako g. Finku.	t	~v't
Za nas upokojence mora biti tudi nekaj zabavnega. Na* naših sejah je.kar živahno. V juniju smo imeli predavateljico od Mary mount bolnišnice. Razlagala nam je 'in proučevala, kaj ih kako naj ostar nemo pri zdravju na stara leta, posebno v današnjih kritičnih časih.
Naša blagajničarka Ann Odell ima v oskrbi klubove izlete, katerih se člani z veseljem udeleže. Naš prvi izlet je bil v Carrousel Theatre, drugi pa v Columbus, Ohio. Prihodnji izlet bo že prihodnji torek, -28. julija, v Var-million, Ohio. V avgustu pa odpotujemo. v Marietta, Ohio.
Piknik Federacije slovenskih upokojenskih klubov bo v sredo, 19. avgusta, na prijetni SNPJ farmi na Heath Rd. V Federaciji je včlanjenih več klubov. Pričakuje se lepa udeležba. Povabljeni ste .vsi upokojenci in prijatelji upokojencev.
Organizacijski odbor se pripravlja, da bo postrežba dobra. Na tem pikniku se vedno srečajo stari znanci in prijatelji, skupaj obujajo spomine na minula leta in nekdanje čase. Prevladuje veselo in zadovoljno vzdušje.
Tudi godba je privlačna, ziatoletniki se sprostijo, kar čvrsto se zavrtijo na plesišču.
Torej na svidenje na pikniku!

lakaj vesli o znanem Slovenoi; prof. W. J. Kenniskii
CLEVELAND, O. — Wm. J. Kennick, poznani slovenski r o-j a k iz Clevelanda (Wickliffa), pošilja vsem slovenskim prijateljem prisrčne pozdrave^
Kennick se nahaja v Medica! Center, Concord, New Hampshire, kjer živi tudi naša starejša hčerka, Olga Virginia Emery •— poročena z dr. Emeryjem.
Pred dvema letoma je g. Kennicka zadela možganska kap (stroke).
Ko sem ga pred mesecem dni obiskala, mi je rekel, da pogreša slovensko družbo, slovenske zabave in slovenske kranjske klobase. Seveda sem mu jaz prinesla kranjske klobase, katere je z užitkom jedel.
Naročil mi je, naj čitalce Ameriške Domovine v njegovem imenu prisrčno pozdravim.
Kennick izgleda zelo dobro, še pomladil se je; .ampak ne more nič hoditi. Lahko pa govori, čita in.; piše. Izgleda, da se je popolnoma vdal v svojo; usodo.
Stalno premišljuje in govori o najinih treh otrocih, Olgi V., Victoriji in Willia-mu Jr. Olga Emery ga obiskuje dnevno, ker ona živi v Concordu; Victoria živi v Chicagu, kjer končuje svojo disertacijo za doktorat; William Jr. pa živi in dela v Alliance, Ohio, kot' businessman. Vsi imanjo' telefonske zveze z. g. Kennickom in mu sporočamo vse novice, ki ga zanimajo.
Kennick pa se vseeno počuti osamljenega, brez družine, brejz otrok!
Taka je pač človeška usoda! Pregovor pravi: Ko imaš, ne ceniš, ko pa izgubiš, pogre-
šaš, — ampak je prepozno.”
Kljub svoji visoki izobrazbi — advokat in profesor, ni on nikdar zatajil svoje narodnosti. Vedno je bil ponosen in' je še danes, da je Slovenec.
Škoda, da ni bil nikdar L; voljen za kongresnika. On ki zastopal in delal za Slovence bolj, kakor katerikoli Slovenec!
Kennick je preprost človeL zelo izobražen in značajen-On se ne ustraši nobenega političnega nasprotnika.
Sedaj je položaj seveda drugačen. Kennick je bola11 in brez besede.
Njegov rojstni dan bo zo-julija. Verjetno bi ga kartic® od slovenskih prijateljev razveselile!

IS , ,
SEATTLE, Wash! —'.Urednik je že nekajkrat navedel, naj bi kot’ udeleženec Adamičevega simpozija v Minnesoti o tem kaj napisal. Ker je u-rednik sam o simpoziju izčrpno poročal, nimam k uradno prikazanemu . p'rogramu česa dodajati.' Pojasnil bom le svojo udeležbo in nakazal, da sem imel pri simpoziju kaj malo besede. Vendar bom dodal svoje mnenje o Adamiče-• vem pomenu.
Pred enim letom sem prvič slišal, da se nekaj pripravlja. Izvedel sem tudi, da bo simpozij s sodelovanjem Ljubljane. Eden glavnih predavateljev, M.K., me, je osebno obvestil in tudi povabil. V jeseni me je direktor instituta prof. Rudolph Vecoli prosil za nasvet, koga naj bi na simpozij povabili. Navedel sem mu nekaj imen ljudi, ki so se z Adamičem in njegovo vlogo doslej ukvarjali.
Poznavalci bodo vedeli, da je bilo teh doslej bore malo. Zavedal sem se tudi, da bo nekaj teh imen za Ljubljano nesprejemljivih. Zato ne bo napačno, če opozorim, da je o Adamiču predavala novembra 1980 v Philadelphiji gospa Marija Molek ter da bo v Monterey v Kaliforniji sredi septembra o njem govoril Bogdan Radiča, oba boljša poznavalca Adamiča kot nekateri predavatelji v Minnesoti. O pisatelju Adamiču je pred petdesetimi leti resno razpravljal tudi dr. Rajko Ložar. Na to sem opozoril prof. Vecolija.
Ko sem dobil v roke program simpozija, sem najprej ugotovil, da bom na simpoziju le opazovalec; ljubljanski, kakor tudi ameriški predavatelji so bili izbrani. Marsikaterega imena, ki bi ga pričakoval, ni bilo med njimi. To me ni presenetilo, prav tako me ni, kar sem na simpoziju slišal. Kot trdi urednik Ameriške Domovine, novega ni* bilo dosti. Zborovanje je bilo ' kljub temu prijetno in koristno srečanje. V ljubljanskih ‘Naših razgledih’ je nedavno izšlo poročilo s pripombo, da Adamiča neki krogi v emigraciji prikazujejo zmaličeno. Zato sem šel na simpozij.
Za Adamiča že dolgo vem. Že od časa njegovega prvega obiska doma, čeprav sem takrat šele postajal, gimnazijec, komaj začetnik. Kasneje sem prebiral Dom in Svet,, zasle-. dil Peruška in Adamiča; za Ameriko sem vedel tudi zaradi patra Zakrajška, posebno ko je začel graditi novo cerkev za Bežigradom. Kot
heliterat sem vedel za Ada' mičevo pisanje kot za zanimivost. Podobno sem kasnej zasledil njegovo delo z gracijo.
To omenjam, če se bo k®1 spraševal, zakaj nisem o ^ damiču začel pisati preje ^ zakaj se šele zdaj nekako za vzemam za resno študirani6 njegovega dela in pornena; Dnevi so prekratki, da človek pretresal vse, kar zanima in kar bi bilo potreb no.
Pred letom dni so me Pjl reditelji zborovanja v Phda delphiji prosili, naj bi mentiral predavanje g°sPe

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, JULY 24, 1931
Misijonska srečanja lit pomenki
lig	526. Poletni piknik MZA v Clevelandu
je v nedeljo-, 28. junija, v Genevi, Ohio, doživel na j lepši sončni dan, kar jih pomnimo zadnja leta.
Sv. maša na Orlovem vrhu se je vršila kmalu po poldnevu. Opravil jo je duhovni vodja MZA g. Wolbang, C.M. Nad 100 rojakov se je je udeležilo in večina je bila pri sv. obhajilu. Nekateri so prejeli sv. obhajilo že zjutraj v mestu, ker so bili pri rednih farnih sv. mašah.
Po sv. maši so naše zveste kuharice servirale okusno kosilo. Možje so bili zadovoljni, da so mogli dobiti tokrat pijačo. Marsikdo pa je povpraševal, počemu ne bo srečelova, ki je bil izrecno zabranjen od ohijske oblasti, ko so izdali dovoljenje za pijačo. “No gambling of any kind” je bilo natiskano na izdanem dovoljenju. Kot povsod v življenju tudi tokrat ni bilo mogoče vsem ustreči.
Pete litanije so bile okrog pol šestih zvečer pri kapelici. G. Rudi Knez je pripravil petje. Pogrešali smo več duhovnikov, ki so običajno prišli na piknik. Monsignor Baznik je pri Sv. Kristini dežural celo nedeljo v župnišču, dasi si je na piknik želel in nanj 'cel teden poprej mislil. Fr. dr. Pavel Krajnik iz Lo-raina je telefoniral, da mora v nedeljo popoldne v bolnico. Fr. Victor Tomc je moral na zlato poroko ugledne družine v fari. Brat MZA pionirke ge. Agnes Leskovec jo je doživel. G. župnik Božnar je bil tudi zadržan' in g. Slapšak, ki je na misijonske prireditve vedno rad hodil, slabo vidi in precej težko hodi, da je bil z nami v molitvah.
Prvič smo na pikniku pogrešili dobrega rajnega Mat-tew Tekavca, ki je za nas prosil pri Očetu. Tudi lanski predsednik SP g. Leben je bil že med rajnimi. Odsotna je bila tudi ga. Miklavčičeva, ki je lani organizirala zelo u-spešnega “mačka v Žaklju”. Letos itak ne bi bil dovoljen.
Številni misijonski prijatelji
so preživeli nekaj prijetnih uric v razgovoru. Opaziti je bilo polno znanih misijonskih pionirjev in pionirk. Mimo kuhinje in točenja pijač so nekatere imele polne roke dela s stojnico- za pecivo, ki ga je bilo precej in je bilo vše razprodano.
Udeležba bi bila lahko boljša, pa je nekatere zadržala želja, da bi šli v nedeljo kasneje z otroci na Slovensko pristavo za folkloro in plese. Drugi so bili na počitnicah in podobne izgovore smo culi.
V domovini so v Sodražici par dni preje pokopali gdč. Mary Hudolin, ki se je tja na stara leta vrnila iz Clevelanda. Vsi smo jo poznali, kako je misijonarila med rojaki in zbirala za raj nega-o. Poderža-ja, za KM naročnino in pošiljala pakete v misijone in v domovino. Naj v miru počiva!
Takole se srečujemo in vsako leto nas je manj, ko Bog'
kliče tega ali onega za vedno k Sebi. Molimo, da bi se mogli še veliko piknikov srečati in za naše misijonarje malo več dobrega napraviti, dokler imamo še čas. Mnogi, ki so tako radi prihajali nanje, so že odšli v večnost.
AD dva tedna okoli piknika ni izšla zaradi počitnic o-sedja. Urednik dr. Susel ni bil v uradu, ko sem ga skušal obiskati. Srečala sva se pa z g. Debevcem-. Na piknik je prišel z ženo in enim sinom tudi g. Albin Lipold.

ANDREJ KOBAL:
SVETOVNI POPOTNIK PRIPOVEDUJE
Že prvi dan me je Cajnko odpeljal v obsežno vinsko klet z velikanskimi sodi na obeh straneh. Ne vem, če me je hotel preizkusiti, kako se bom obnašal z vinom. Ustavil me je pred mnogoterim sodom, da iz njega pokusim vrsto in letnik pridelka.
Pokazal mi je, kako se pokuša vino:	majhen požirek,
zadrži ga v ustih in srkaj tako, da jezik nekako plava v vinu, in šele ko polno začutiš okus, začni požirati kapljo za kapljo. Posvaril pa je, da je to najhitrejši način opijanj enj a. Iz množice sodov mi je dal pokušati, pa sem vztrajal, da iz vsakega le kratek , požirek, tako da ni bilo preveč, ko sva se vrnila v pisarno.
Podjetje je v resnici potrebovalo knjigovodjo. Zapiski kupčij po vinogradih okoli Ljutomera, Središča, Haloz in drugod so bili sicer v posebni knjigi, a mnogi pomešani z vknjiženji o prodaji gostilnam po Štajerskem in Koroškem. Podatki o odplačevanju niso bili pregledni in popolni, tako da je bilo treba stikati po korespondenci, ki je pokazala, da tu ali tam dolg ni bil vknjižen in vplačila tudi ne.
Takoj po pregledu sem u-vedel dvojno knjigovodstvo , ter pokazal primere Osetu in Cajnku. Način sta razumela in odobrila. Posla sem se lo- — til z vnemo, da čimprej uredim potrebne knjige. Prve tedne sem delal do poznih večernih ur in oba sta mi z veseljem'pomagala, posebno ko sem dognal, da je bila tudi knjiga o bančnem poslovanju nezadostna, že po prvem mesecu sta mi povišala plačo. — Kmalu sem uvidel, da po-kušanje vina s Cajnkom ni moglo biti le za to, da preizkusi moje nagnjenje do pijače. Oba kompanjona sta precej potovala in razen delavcev okoli kleti sem bil neredko sam in odgovoren pri prodaji. To me je veselilo, saj mi je po ureditvi knjig pre-ostajalo dovolj časa za opravke v kleteh.
Razgovor s kupci ni bil samo o vinu, posebno s koroškimi oštirji. Prihajali so iz precej oddaljenih krajev, vse od Belj aka. Razumni preprosti krčmarji so mi pripovedovali o pripravljanju za plebiscit, kar me je zelo zanimalo. Bili so povečini potrti bolj* kot navdušeni. Krčmar iz Železne Kaplje mi je pravil o tajni nemški propagandi, ki je najemala in plačevala slovenske agitatorje, da so hodili od hiše do hiše, prosili, pregovarjali in grozili. Odjemalec iz Sinče vasi se je pritožil nad “govorniki iz Ljubljane, katerih naš kmet ne zastopi.”
Enako mi je kupec iz Borovelj dejal zelo potrt, da bi bil pravi čudež, .če bi Slovenci zmagali celo v povsem naših krajih. “Kaj v Jugoslaviji nimajo nikogar, ki bi znal našim ljudem povedati, da bo plebiscit odločil za vsedej in da mi nočemo biti Nemci?” _ Neki drugi iz velike vasi Galicija mi je rekel, da v njegovem kraju ni nobenega Nemca, pa bo večina glasovala za Avstrijo, od koder pride za uboge gmotna pomoč, medtem ko se s Kranjskega slišijo samo govori in pa “Naprej zastava slave!”

KSU TV TO
DOCUMENT ETHNIC LIFE
Kent State University’s'Television Services will produce a series documenting the artist’s role in the life of Southern and Eastern European ethnic communities.
Ed Jurewicz, Producer/Director of KSU's TV Services, speaking to the local advisory council for the series entitled “Ethnic Arts and Artists Projects” called upon local ethni groups to" offer referrals and comments necessary to insure that the series authentically presents ethnic community life.
“Interested groups can help discover artists and art forms in need of public recognition, comment on developing stories, and suggest further contracts, by writing or phoning KSU Television Services (216-672-2182),” Jurewicz said.
Work done on this project will eventually help to provide the television and film industries with accurate information needed to produce programs about the real na-1 ture of ethnic community life and values.
“Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania are important areas for developing ethnically responsive programs because many ethnic organizations flourish here,” Jurewicz added.
Concentrated work in ethnic studies is being done at Kent State University, Cleveland State University, John Carroll University and the University of Pittsburgh.
Joe Rudjak, who has been active with ethnic programming at Youngstown’s International Institute, is the principal researcher and assistant producer for the series. Rudjak will gather and co-ordinate stories concerning artists, craftsmen, and art forms in ethnic communities.
“These stories will center on the characteristics of ethnic creativity among Eastern and Southern European peoples. As much as possible the stories will tell themselves. We intend,” Rudjak added, “that the series will avoid stereotypes and pre-conceived images, and will ease the way for television programming which authentically portrays the family and community life of modern ethnic America.” Jurewicz said that educational and entertainment programs using . ethnic themes have opened new marke s and have successfully drawn large audiences. Vet. a great deal of work is wailing to be done.
“Sounder, Lilies of the Field, Nothing but a Man, Roots The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, The Jef-fersens, All in the Family, and Chico and the Man have focused the public's attention on imp'ortant racial issues previously taboo in the maks me-

dia,” Jurewicz said. “The Deer Hunter, Hester Street, Mean Streets, and Rocky, gave the public an insight into ethnic communities.”
“But stories like The Godfather, The End, Saturday Night Live, and Looking for Mr. Goodbar have attacked ethnic culture directly or portrayed ethnic family life as repressive and unable to cope with the pressures of modern living,” Jurewicz added.
The Ethnic Arts and Artists Project is being funded by the Ethnic Studies Program of the U.S. Departmnet of Education and Kent State University. The project team includes scholars and community people from local and national organizations.
The national advisory council includes: Mary Francis Haley of the Social Science Education Consortium, Boulder, Colorado; Larry Naftulin of Philadelphia’s Balch Institute; Donna Golnick of the American Association of Colleges in Teacher Education, Washington, D.C.ž Dr. Rudolph J. Vecoli, Immigration History Research Center, Minnesota; and Francis X. Fem-minella of the State University of New York at Albany.
Local advisory council members are: Dr. Karl Bonutti, Cleveland State University; Mary Jo Ettore and Anthony Ettore of the Italian American Cultural Foundation, Cleveland; Andrew Fedynsky of the United Ukrainian Organizations of Cleveland; Ms. Marcianne Herr, Akron Art Institute; Andie Latrashe of the Akron School System; Michael S. Pap, John Carroll University; Gloria Reich, Akron Jewish Community Federation; Elizabeth Szabo, International Institute of Youngstown; Joe Valencie, Western Reserve Historical Society, and Michael Vasi-lakes, Cleveland Ethnographic Museum.
Interested ethnic groups or individuals can offer suggestions for programming by writing Joe Rudjak in care of Television Services at Kent State University or by calling (21G) 672-2184.

IN MEMORY OF FRIEND FRED FILIPS
By ROBERT KASTELIC
Cleveland, O.— Fred Filips died June 26, 1981 just shy of his 80th birthday. He was • bom near Trieste, its hinterland called Notranckraj by the Slovenes who populate that Karst region of beautiful Slovenia. Those who knew him well enough might jokingly refer to him as a Kra-šuč, but he always corrected such a humorist by defining the Kras area to the south of Trieste and peopled by Slavs who spoke a dialect of Croatian.
Frederic Filipčič came to America and Minnesota soon after World War I. He was too young to serve in Franz Josef’s Austrian army. He arrived with many other Slovenian young men when the immigration barriers to the United States were loosened somewhat to allow southeastern Europeans to immigrate and begin a new life.
After a short while in the iron ranges of Mesabi, he ventured to Cleveland which already had an established Slovene population. Fraternal lodges, churches and national homes had already been organized in many parts of the Cleveland area.
He was amongst his own people in the St. Clair area of St. Vitus parish and could identify with other krašuči, dolenci, and gorenci. He obtained a very good job in the Fisher Body plant, but was not content until he met and married the Maple Heights girl Mary Fortuna from Miller Ave. They married in 1926 and settled down in the Greenhurst allotment where Ruth was born. Today, Ruth is married to Andrew Romito, long time mayor of the City of Bedford.
Fred took up barbering as a sidelihe ftom his job at Fisher Body. His rapport with his customers and congeniality contributed to the growth of the barbering business until it became a full time job in the late 30’s. He and Anton Steržaj from Charles St. enjoyed the barber business of all the Slovenians in Maple Heights plus a goodly number of other Americans. Both barbers operated from their homes.
Of special importance to Fred was his activity in forming Holy Family lodge of KS-KJ (Kranjske Slovenske Katoliške Jednota), the Grand Carniolian Slovenian Catholic Union in the year 1927. He, with several other Slovenes including Blanche Steržaj, Lojze Kastelic, Anna Baznik-Fortuna and Jacob Jemec are pictured' in the formal setting alongside Jos. Legan’s house when the lodge flag was blessed in St. Lawrence church. Only a few remain from those pictured in that memorable portrait of Slovenians who were an integral part of a new and growing Maple Heights.
The Slovenski Narodni Dom was organized in 1928 and Fred was an important instrument in its birth and development. The building was erected in 1937 despite the awesome presence of the Great Depression. He served on the board of directors for many years and unselfishly added his progressive but moderate views to the advancement of the home and its cultural activities.
The Planina Singing Society relied on Fred to assume the responsibilities of caring for the refreshments after the concerts.
His rural background was reflected in the care he gave his house and yard. Neatness and beauty were characteristics traditionally nurtured by Slovenes and these were displayed in the carefully cultured flowers and trees in Fred’s yard. This tradition from Slovenia was adopted by many of his neighbors who took the same pride he did in maintaining a beautiful residence. The empty lots fronting on Miller avenue served his garden very well. He placed an almost spiritual importance to the tending of vegetable plants and additional flowers.
But I remember Fred as a hero of■ my youth. He was a talented athlete and most proficient in the game of ba-linca. He helped organize a balinca club before the SND was built on Stanley Ave. and assisted in building two balinca alleys and moving the small building of the Legan gasoline station across the street. This building served as the clubhouse for the members of the balinca club and a watering station to quench the thirst of the men who toiled in the steel mills of nearby Cleveland.
We boys of the neighborhood loved the game and played it on Sundays when we weren’t allowed to play football or baseball in our Simday suits. We thought balinca was a Slovenian game and were mortified to learn the Italians had the same game and called it bocci. We consoled ourselves by convincing ourselves that the Slovenians originated the game. We soon learned that both the Italians and Slovenians inherited the game from the Romans who in turn learned it from the Egyptians.
Fred’s expertise in balinca was well known. Players who came on Sundays for the tournaments, from Prince Ave., Collin wood, St. Clair, Newburgh, and Garfield Hts. all recognized in Fred a champion. Some felt that his early proximity to the Italian border accounted for his success, but I felt it was his innate ability which refined his skill in being able to thrust a ball to remove another which was close to the balinca.
We have buried Fred as the members of Planina gathered at his bier and sang the traditional Slovene songs including Ivan Zorman’s, “Oj Večer je že,” (It Is Evening Already.) We buried Fred, but not his achievements, his character, nor his loving personality.
His wonderful traits live on as a bequest to those who knew him and were touched by him. He joins the legion of Slovenes who faithfully retained and nourished the culture of the silent people and those who remain steadfast in their loyalty to Christ and His mother, Mary. --------------o-------

SCANDINAVIA

COPENHAGEN
Sunday morning we attended 10 a.m. Mass at Sacred Heart Church celebrated by Father Linde. The church was built in 1895 and is maintained by the Jesuit Order.
Copenhagen (Kobenhavn) means “Merchants Harbor”. It is a city over 800 years old. It was in 1167 that Bishop Absalon built a fortress here, and was credited as the founder of the city. Denmark’s king didn’t move in until 1417 when, with Norway and Sweden in the realm, the city became the natural center.
This capital city of Denmark was invaded by enemies, bombarded and conquered. But today Copenhagen is a symbol of peace and contentment with a population of about 650,000. This merchants harbor offers opportunities for business people all over the world.
In the evening we were serve a “Welcome to Scandinavia” dinner. Full course, at our Hotel Palace.
Next, we go to one of the highlights of this touq and it is within walking distance from our hotel — Tivoli Gardens. There are exciting and inviting floral displays, illuminated with dazzling lights.
