Freedom of Religion. — The Constitution states that the profession of religious and other beliefs of any person in private and public shall be free. No person may be compelled to acknowledge his religious or other beliefs. There is no state religion. While 70 percent of the population of 2.2 million is Roman Catholic, Protestant and other religious clergy, churches, and centers operate without hindrance. There are no restrictions on particular religious groups or on foreign clergy. Some religious leaders have expressed concern that some teachers were continuing to promote an antireligious outlook in the classroom, a legacy of the educational system under the former Communist regime. d. Freedom of Movement Within the Country, Foreign Travel, Emigration, and Repatriation. — The Constitution provides that each person has the right to freedom of movement, to choose a place of residence, to leave the country, and to return. Any limitations on this right must be legally executed, and only when necessary in criminal cases, in protecting public health, and in defense of the State. In practice, Slovenes travel widely, freely, and often, without practical restrictions on their movements. The right of political asylum is provided for those foreign nationals and persons without citizenship persecuted for their stand on human rights and fundamental freedoms. Slovenia has taken in some 100,000 refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina; it serves primarily as a transit country for those going to third states. The Government stated in September that there were 20,000 refugees in camps and 80,000 in private homes or awaiting housing. Many of these refugees hope to return home once the fighting ends. Section 3. Respect for Political Rights; The Right of Citizens to Change Their Government Slovene citizens have the right to change their government. In April 1992, Prime Minister Peterle lost a vote of no confidence in the Assembly and was replaced in May by Janez Drnovšek who formed a moderate-left coalition Government, retaining 12 of th** 97 m!nict**r« frr\m th** r*r**_ vious government. In the December elections for President and Parliament, Milan Kučan won the Presidency handily with 63.8 percent of the vote. In the parliamentary contest, the Liberal Democratic Party won 22 seats, the Slovenian Christian Democrats 15, the Associated List 14, the Slovenian National Party 12, Slovenian People’s Party 10, Democratic Party 6, Greens of Slovenia 5, and the Social Democratic Party of Slovenia 4. The Hungarian and Italian minorities had one reserved seat each for which they selected their candidates. Janez Drnovšek has been proposed as Prime Minister and is expected to be confirmed in January 1993. Some public concern was expressed by the relatively strong showing of the rightwing Slovenian National Party whose appeal was linked to economic problems and the lingering market crisis. Slovenia has a mixed parliamentary and presidential form of government. The President serves as Head of State and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, with the power to call elections and proclaim statutes. He may not serve more than two consecutive 5-year terms. The President nominates the Prime Minister, who must be confirmed by the State Assembly (Parliament). The 90-member State Assembly is headed by the president of the Assembly and has a 4-year term of office. An elected 40-member State Council, representing social, economic, professional, and local interests, is an advisory body that, among other duties, may propose legislation, give the Assembly its opinion on legislation, and ask the Assembly to reconsider legislation before it becomes law. Its term of office is 5 years. There are no de jure restrictions on women or minorities participating in politics or government. Section 4. Governmental Attitude Regarding International and Nongovernmental Investigations of Alleged Violations of Human Rights Slovenia has a well respected, independent Council of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, founded by law in 1990. The Council, composed of men and women from various professions associated with human rights and freedoms, as well as nongovernmental, judicial, and political officials, investigates complaints about violations of human rights and governmental responsibility. The Government places no formal obstacles in the way of visits or investigations by international or local human rights groups. Section 5. Discrimination Based on Race, Sex, Religion, Language, or Social Status In addition to the majority Slovenes (88 percent of the population), the predominant ethnic groups living in Slovenia are Croats, Serbs, Muslims, Hungarians, and Itali- ans. Hunearians and Italians are constitutionally guaranteed one seat each in the State Assembly. In addition, the Italian and Hungarian ethnic communities have special rights, including the right to use national symbols, establish organizations, and enjoy bilingual education. The Constitution states that the position and special rights of the Gypsy community are regulated by law. Slovenia has made the equality of males and females a matter of state policy, and the Constitution and various laws are intended to promote that policy. Slovenia generally provides equal pay for equal work for both males and females. In general, there appears to be little official discrimination against women or minorities in housing, jobs, education, or elsewhere in the society. There is a government bureau for women’s policy which, among other activities, participated in the Female Entrepreneurship competition organized by the Fund for the Promotion of Small Businesses. Women are active in trade, consulting, education, marketing, advertising, tourism, design, and food production. In practice, women, including those who are otherwise employed, continue to bear a disproportionate share of household chores and family care. Although many women still are found more often in lower paying jobs in the society, they do not suffer disproportionately from growing unemployment. It is difficult to determine with specificity the extent of violence again women in Slovenia. Informed observers have not highlighted domestic violence as a major problem. Section 6. Worker Rights a. The Right of Association. — The Constitution provides that the establishment and activities of trade unions and the recruitment of their membership shall be unrestricted. Except for the police and security forces, virtually all workers are eligible to form and join labor organizations of their own choosing. Slovenian labor has three main labor federations, with constituent branches throughout the society. Unions are formally independent of governmental and political parties, but individual union members may and do hold positions in the legislature. For example, the head of the Nezavisnost Trade Union Federation was a presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party of Slovenia. The right to strike is constitutionally guaranteed. During 1992 a number of strikes occurred, largely over wages and working conditions. Two independent trade unions organized a 1-hour general warning strike on March 18 to protest the rapid fall in the standard of living, and 400,000 workers participated without government interference. There are no restrictions on i joining or forming federations . or affiliating with like-minded international unions. b. The Right to Organize and Bargain Collectively. — Slovenia is in transition from a Socialist to a market-based economy. The collective bargaining process is undergoing change. The Government still had a role in setting minimum wage and other conditions, although private businesses, which are growing in number, set such pay scales directly with their employees’ unions or representatives. There are no export processing zones in Slovenia. c. Prohibition of Forced or Compulsory Labor. — Article 49 of the Constitution prohibits forced labor, and it does not exist. d. Minimum Age for Employment of Children. — The minimum age for employment is 16. Some farm communities probably employ younger children during harvest or for farm chores. In general, urban employers respect these age limits. e. Acceptable Conditions of Work. — In general, Slovenian enterprises and businesses provide acceptable conditions of work for their employees. The Government and trade union federations try to set adequate minimum wages through negotiations. Such a wage base serves as a standard for both public and private firms. Insolvent firms during this period of economic change have been reported to renege or delay wage payments. Workers, faced with unemployment in a tight market, often prefer to get a delayed payment than no wages at all. The standard workweek is 40 hours. Occupation health and safety standards are set by various government offices; standardization has not yet been achieved. This is the full text of the 1992 State Department report on Slovenia. These reports, which cover well over one hundred countries, are mandated by Congress to be made every year. The report on Slovenia is in fact exceptionally good and substantiates the impression among all but a few Slovene Americans that Slovenia is well on its way to a solid, permanent democratic society.

(Continued from page 1) intentioned, if poorly conceived, acid-rain bill. His environmental friends howled. All that aside, however, Eckart the congressman played the Washington game with skill and ease. He was especially good with the media. He deftly sprinkled bright quotes on our stories. As much as Eckart complained about the special interests, he didn’t seem to mind their overtures while he was in office. In 1991, for instance, he — was the guest of special interests in foreign and sunny climes on several occasions. The National Cable Television Association flew him to New Orleans and Fort Myers, Fla., for speech making. Pfizer, the pharmaceutical firm, picked up the tab for a three-day stay in London. The Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association brought him to New Orleans, the Central Station Alarm Association to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and MCI to Savannah, Ga. All the travel was legal, of course, and Eckart hardly logged the most miles of any lawmaker. Indeed, he would defend the trips as simply giving industries a chance to have their say. And that may be the case, in part. But the practice smacks of business as usual in Washington, the business of buying access to the powerful and influential. In leaving the House, Eckart said the decision was mostly about his family. And to his credit, at Winston & Strawn, he’ll have time to spend with his wife and son. Moreover, he has explained that the decision to stay in Washington reflected a wish not to disrupt their lives. And yet, from a distance, it’s plain that Eckart has walked into Washington’s “revolving door,” where lawmakers become lobbyists and journalists become public officials, where everybody, it seems, is either a lawyer or a consultant and the lines blur between the public and private sectors. Part of the ritual is valuable. You can benefit from a fresh perspective on public affairs and government. As things have developed in Washington, however, the situation has become too cozy, to the point where the public interest competes with, and often loses to, the narrower interests of a political class that knows there’s lots of money to be made schmoozing and exploiting access, or the perception of access, to the powerful. No wonder, as the National Journal put it in a November issue on its Inside Washington page, Eckart was “widely considered the catch of the year with six-figure job offers flooding his Capitol Hill office.” The lawyers and lobbyists along K Street saw a player, and they began the wooing. And why not? Eckart is continuing his political commentary on WEWS, the ABC affiliate in Cleveland, which he began last May. He also hasn’t quite ruled out running for political office hgain. Talk about playing all the angles. When Eckart announced he would not seek re-election, he confessed to William Hershey, the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal’s Washington correspondent, “I feel a bit like someone who is standing on top of a diving board. I know there’s water in the pool below and I’m 10 feet above it. I don’t know if it’s going to be a ‘10’ or a belly flop.” Well, according to the rules of the capital, his execution was superb, his entry enviably smooth. Eckart is a revealing story about how the game is played in Washington. East Europeans to meet Pope in USA This summer many Central and East European youth, who lived their childhood under the religious suppression of communist rule, will join their Western peers in an open celebration of their Catholic faith. Young Catholics from 17 formerly communist countries will join Pope Paul II at the 1993 World Youth Day in Denver, as a result of the generous contributions of American Catholics. The U.S. bishops have approved funds requested by the bishops of Central and Eastern Europe to help offset travel and lodging expenses. Scholarships have been approved for participants from Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Siberia, Bielarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. An additional 20 participants from Russia will be sponsored and hosted by several U.S. dioceses. Dr. Šega set for Nov. space flight According to Slovenec, which is published in Ljubljana, a report by NASA announced that Dr. Ronald Sega will be aboard the November mission of a space shuttle. The takeoff will be from the airdrome in Cape Kennedy, Florida. Dr. Sega hails from the Cleveland area and is Slovenian American. He is the nephew of Frank Sega, who is very active at St. Vitus parish. Mr. Sega is also very active in KSKJ circles and secretary of Christ the King lodge No. 226 of KSKJ. Dr. Sega has been doing graduate work at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., recently. His specialty is physics, mathematics, and electronics. He is fluent in the Slovenian language. He will be working with Russian spacemen who will also be on board. He is conversant in Russian. The crew assignment will be to study celestial phenomena. Slovenians throughout the world can well be proud of their brilliant distinguished fellow countrymen.

In 1988, this was allowed on television also. In 1989, Christmas Mass was televised as in 1990 when, for the first time, it was a holiday for all, even if by law it is still a workday.” He recalled that on July 8, 1990, the president of the Slovenian republic, who is an ex-communist, and other former communists were among those who attended a Mass of Reconciliation celebrated by Archbishop Sustar in a forest. It was on that site, at the end of World War II, where communist partisans slaughtered 12,000 Slovenians who had fought against them. The Slovenians say that their compatriots killed in that forest had fled to Austria first, only to be returned by the British to the communist victors. The Mass was a hopeful sign that the wounds of Slovenian history can be healed. What is the Church’s situation now that the Slovenian government is no longer communist but rather a coalition headed by Christian Democrats? “Of course conditions are easier,” said Archbishop Sustar. “The mass media are far more open to the Christian viewpoint and are now willing to recognize that the Church has a social teaching. “But the old laws remain,” he added. “Marxism is discredited, but the teachers and texts have not been replaced. The aid organization Caritas is still banned even though it was re-established in mid-1990. “We still await the return of confiscated property, more than a hundred institutions in Ljubljana alone and many woods,” the archbishop explained. “It’s not, as some critics claim, that the Church wants to be capitalist. But our only income is the offerings of the faithful, and we find it almost impossible to pay theology professors, to give one example, even meager salaries.” Aware that Western Catholics are gathering aid for the Church in Eastern Europe Ferfolia Funeral Home When that time comes we want you to know that we are here to serve you — call us...

He was asked if there is a danger of chauvinism now that Slovenia is affirming its national identity and wants independence or greater autonomy from the federal government in Belgrade. “The Church is universal and cannot be identified with one nation,” Archbishop Sustar replied. “Catholics should avoid chauvinism. Moreover, I have stressed that Slovenian Catholics should protect the rights of minorities.” Archbishop Sustar said the Slovenians have conserved forms of Catholic life lost in much of the West: fidelity to the Church without polemics; pride in maintaining the faith despite repression, appreciation of sacraments, such as Confession, and also deep attachment to feast days and Marian devotions. He also said that pastoral councils had been established through Slovenia in the wake of the Second Vatican Council, and that a Slovenian synod was being prepared. “There’s much talk of a new evangelization,” the archbishop said, “but we’re still seeking the best way to carry it out in a situation which has both dangers and opportunities.” Desmond O’Grady Donations Thanks to the following for their donations to the Ameriška Domovina: Cyril Grilc, Pompano Beach, Florida — $10.00 Sonja Mosquin, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. — $20.00 Angela Gospodaric, San Francisco, Calif. — $10.00 Ivanka Kete, Cleveland, in memory of husband Jože — Frank Chemas, Cleveland — $5.00 Frank Boh, Cleveland — $5.00 Maria Juha, Etobicoke, Ont., Canada, in memory of husband, Anton Juha — $20.00 Alex Šimenc, Millbrae, Calif. — $15.00 Marija Petelin, Cleveland — $10.00 Mary Zimperman, South Euclid, O. — $10.00 Mary Gornik, Euclid, Ohio, in memory of Mary Polutnik — $10.00 Jean Kurilich, Fontana, Calif. — $5.00 Anonymous, Cleveland — $75.00 Ivan Buh, Bridgeview, 111. — $5.00 Marija Cugelj, Cleveland — $5.00 Jennie Zakrajšek, Willowick, O., in memory of husband, Frank — $5.00 Louis Silc, Willowick, O. — $5.00 Mr. and Mrs. Florian Sekne, Wickliffe, O. — $10.00 Doris Sadar, Willoughby Hills, O. — $10.00 Društvo Lilija, Cleveland — $10.00 Terezija Zelko, Cleveland — $5.00 Anonymous, Wickliffe, O. — $5.00 Seme, Dr. Leopold, Olympia Falls, 111. — $15.00 Kavcic, John, Mississauga, Ont. — $10.00 Tehlirian, Maretta Jamšek, West Bloomfield, Mich. — $15.00 Babic, Louis — Toronto — $10.00 Kralic, Mary F., Chardon, O., in honor of husband Ed’s 80th birthday — $15.00 Bokar, Mr. and Mrs. Charles, in memory of Peter and Anna Kozan, Plain well, Mich. — $10.00 Josephine and Joe Am-brosic, Euclid, in memory of son, John Ambrosic — $30.00 Mrs. Vincent Globokar, Cleveland — $15.00 Louise Trunkely, Euclid, 0. — $10.00 Ciril Vehovec, Euclid, O. — $5.00 Marge Kondrich, S.

Councilman Paulenske Announces Improvements to Ward 13 Parks r7**T Councilman Gary Paulenske, with the assistance of the City of Cleveland, secured a $175,000 grant to radically improve the condition of Kirtland Park on the South Marginal in the St. Clair/-Superior Neighborhood of Ward 13. Cleveland City Council passed an ordinance last month allowing the issuance of bonds for the purpose of providing funds to pay the costs of improving Municipal Recreation facilities. Paulenske said “Ward 13 was allotted $175,000, quite a substantial amount, that will be used to renovate and improve what is now presently Kirtland Park. However, in addition, Grdina park along with Sterling Recreation Center will also receive substantial improvements this year.” “The $175,000 grant is a major victory for Ward 13. Many other Wards were not granted nearly that much money for recreation improvements.” Paulenske said that improvements of Ward 13 neighborhood parks are long overdue and that Kirtland Park, Grdina Park and Sterling Recreation Center were the 3 recreation facilities slated for improvements this year. “I’d love to renovate and upgraqde all the parks, but after talking to numerous residents, former Councilman Gus Frangos, and various city officials, Kirtland, Grdina and Sterling were determined to be the ones most in need, and most requested for improvements.” In relation to Kirtland Park, Paulenske also said another major change would be occurring this year. After much discussion in the past, the name of Kirtland Park will also be officially changed in the fall of this year to Lausche Park, in hbnor of former Cleveland Mayor, Judge, Senator and Governor and Introducing Councilman Gary and Geri Paulenske, united in marriage May 8, 1993, at St. Michael’s Church in Independence.

In the first study to separate the effects of sunlight on the face from the effects of cigarette smoke, the Utah researchers found that heavy cigarette smokers were 3.5 times more likely than nonsmokers to have severe crow’s feet’’ wrinkling around the eyes. Years of exposure to sunlight increased the chance of severe crow’s feet by eightfold, while long sun exposure plus heavy cigarette smoking boosted the risk of such severe wrinkling by twelvefold, dermatologist Donald P.

At the bottom was Mississippi, with $10,204. The average per capita personal income in the U.S. as a whole was $15,340. What is the largest U.S. city in area? It’s not New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles. It is Juneau, Alaska, which cover 3,108 square miles. Los Angeles, in contract, covers 458.2 square miles.

How does the marriage rate in the U.S. in recent years compare to that in 1900? What about the divorce rate? Recent marriage rates have been fairly similar to what they were at the turn of the century. In 1900, the marriage rate was 9.3 per 1,000; in 1988, it was 9.7. The divorce rate, however, has changed drastically. In 1900 it was 0 7 per 1,000. In 1988, it was 4 8 The critic !• recemi l 10’ wno lively here> rated very ^^naiu r.

Severe wrinkling was found in only 6% of the volunteers who didn’t smoke and who stayed out of the sun. A third of the nonsmokers who had long hours in the sun suffered severe wrinkling. By comparison, 18% of the smokers who avoided sunshine had severe wrinkling while 43% of the volunteers who both smoked and spent a lot of time in the sun had severe wrinkling. Among the heaviest cigarette smokers, 48% had severe crow’s feet. Risk factors for Gout Several conditons have been associated with the development of gout, such as renal insufficiency, alcohol intake, and physiologic stress. Through medical testing as reported in the Journal Watch published by the Massachusetts Medical Society earlier this year indicate the mean age at onset of gout was 48 years for men.

Risk factors for gout include: high body mass index at age 35 and hypertension. Hypertension was primarily associated with diuretic-related gout. These data suggest that the prevention of obesity and hypertension may reduce the incidence of gout. Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others. The cafeteria A friend s grandfather came to America from Europe and after being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in New York City to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order Of course, nobody ever did. Finally, a man with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and told him how things worked. (i “Start at that end,” he said, “and just go along and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay for it.” “I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,” grandpa told our friend. “Life is a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you’re willing to pay the price. You can even get success. But you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it Dr. Karl Menninger, the famous psychiatrist, once gave a lecture on mental health and was answering questions from the audience. “What would you advise a person to do,” asked one man, “if that person felt a nervous breakdown coming on?” Most people expected him to reply: “Consult a psychiatrist.’’ To their astonishment, he replied: Lock up your house, go across the railway tracks, find someone in need and do something to help that person.” The Lord gave us two ends — one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most. —Ann Landers We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit. —Robert H. Shaffer.

Bitka pri Sisku je namreč dosegla trajno ravnotežje sil proti osmanskemu cesarstvu, Kranjska, Koroška in Štajerska pa so bile obvarovane neposrednih napadov. »V času te slavne bitke je bilo v turški imperij zajetega več kot 80 odstotkov ozemlje nekdanje Jugoslavije, toda slovenske dežele in del Hrvaške so se takrat uspešno ubranili pritiskov z jugovzhoda in ohranili neposreden stik s civilizacijo in kulturo Zahodne Evrope, kar je usodno vplivalo in še vpliva tudi na današnji položaj Slovenije,« je dejal Janša. Po kulturnem programu renesančnih in slovenskih ljudskih pesmi je minister Janša razglasil povišanje častnikov slovenske vojske in izročil brigadirski meč Bogdanu Beltramu, Albinu Gutmanu, Antonu Krkoviču in Petru Zupanu, v kapitana pa je povišal Antona Žabkarja. Slovenec poroča še, da se je praznovanje nadaljevalo v nedeljo, 20. junija, ko je v cerkvi sv. Ahacija nad Malim Lečnikom daroval sv. mašo nadškof dr. Alojzij Šuštar pobegnil in prepustil zmagovalcem vojaško opremo, o-rožje in bogat plen. Vse je bilo končano v dobri uri. Izgube turške vojske so bile ogromne, izgube krščanske pa skoraj zanemarljive.

Turška vojska se je začela umikati nazaj čez ozek most prek Kolpe, vendar je del branilcev napadel iz trdnjave in skupaj s kranjskimi strelci prepričil umik. Nastopile so tudi nemške čete in Turki so se panično umikali kar v reko Kolpo, kjer jih je mnogo utonilo, med njimi tudi Hasan paša Predojevič. Preostanek turške vojske na desnem bregu reke je panično • Po bitki pri Sisku je bilo vzpostavljeno trajno ravnotežje sil proti osmanskemu cesarstvu in Kranjska, Koroška in Štajerska so bile varne pred neposrednimi napadi. V času te slavne bitke je bilo v turški imperij vključenega več kot 80 odstotkov ozemlje nekdanje Jugoslavije, toda slovenske dežele in del Hrvaške so se takrat uspešno uprle pritiskom z jugovzhoda in ohranile nepretrgan stik s civilizacijo in kulturo zahodne Evrope. To je usodno vplivalo in še vpliva tudi na položaj Slovenije. Zaradi naštetega ima bitka pri Sisku za slovensko zgodovino in slovenski narod mnogo večji pomen, kot se je uradno priznavalo v preteklih desetletjih po drugi svetovni vojni. • To je še posebej pomembno danes, ko nostalgija po Jugoslaviji še vedno obstaja tako pri nas kot v tujini. Nekateri bi radi nazaj v Jugoslavijo, vsaj v nekakšno carinsko ali gospodarsko povezavo. Ne povedo pa, da je to pot nazaj v vojno, etnično čiščenje in plačevanje računov za druge. Pri tem je Slovenija dala gostoljubje in državljanstvo mnogim, ki k nam niso prišli iz kakih visokih nagibov, ampak zato, ker so raje na varnem, ker so akontacije vojaških pokojnin pri nas dvajsetkrat višje kot naj večje pokojnine v Srbiji in ker so lahko za drobiž kupili stanovanje, kar je veliki večini Slovencev povsem nedostop- kanska kriza, ne bomo prišli do trajnega miru. Prav lahko se zgodi, da bodo v BiH vsaj začasno spopadi sicer prenehali, začel pa se bodo na Kosovu, ali, kar je za nas mnogo nevarneje, na Hrvaškem. S takim razvojem dogodkov bi se lahko odprla mnoga nevarna vprašanja, tudi mejna in ozemeljska, ki premeščajo našo državo proti zahodu in nobenega smisla ne bi imelo, da bi resnost položaja podcenjevali.

To gre sicer bolj počasi, predvsem kar se tiče denacionalizacije in vračanja premoženja. So pa že popravili nekaj predvsem moralnih krivic, ki jih je komunizem prizadel predvsem katoliškim rojakom, deloma iz maščevanja deloma zato, da jim je lahko zaplenil premoženje.

Gre za proces, ki je bil naperjen takoj po zmagi revolucije proti predstavnikom Vzajemne posojilnice. Obdolžili so jih, da so to družbo, kakor tudi njeno lastnino — Hotel Union in Ljubljanski Stadion nudili okupatorjem v izkoriščanje, da njih delovanje ni bilo v intencijah NOB, da so cem in njihovim hlapcem« tajne rezerve, pobirali prispevke za spomenik »izdajalcev« prof.

Zadevo je poslalo Temeljnemu sodišču v Ljubljani, da znova preišče obdolžitve in izreče novo sodbo. To sodišče je na predlog Temeljnega javnega tožilstva, ki je tedanjo obtožbo umaknilo, zato kazenski postopek ustavilo. S tem je proces končan. Ni najboljša rešitev procesa, kajti pravilno bi bilo, da bi se vse take procese parlament razveljavil kot revolucionarno in krivo dejanje. A trenutni Joseph L.

We’ll attend parades, decorate bikes, march in parades, have family picnics and probably watch fireworks. I hope we spend a few minutes thinking about how lucky we are to be Americans. By the time you read this, many of you will be packing your suitcases to go to Family Fest. I hope you all have a safe trip and a happy time in Indianapolis. Remember, our next federation meeting will be held in Milwaukee on Sunday, July 25, at St. John rectory's meeting room. Please join us for an afternoon of discussing our lodges’ affairs and then to enjoy each other’s company with refreshments. Our main discussions will concern our scho-larships and the raffle connected with financing them. When you receive your tickets, I hope that you’ll either buy or sell them and then ask your secretaries for more. In closing, I hope that you all enjoy these carefree days and have safe and happy vacations. Speaking of carefree days, remember the date of our golf outing, Sunday, September 19, at Lakeside Country Club at Pewaukee Lake. We would appreciate any door prizes you might be able to give us. The cost of the outing will be available soon. Please mark your calendars. We greet all of our sick and shut-ins. Nasvidenje, Edmar Not much to report on right now, but we are looking forward to Family Fest V and the Illinois Federation Picnic. We extend continued best wishes to Ed Kucic and Matt Ver-biscer. Here in Waukegan we send get well wishes to Phil Grom, who has been in the hospital for a couple months; to St. Joe’s No. 53 Treasurer Ann Miks (now at home); to well-known KSKJer Rose Terchek (you all remember her from the old Tip’s joint), who is hospitalized and undergoing some tests. Also, hubby Bill is having some testing this week after a short bout of walking pneumonia. We hope that good health returns to them and all of our sick members very soon! In our area we are having so much rain and heat— we wish we could can the heat and pull it out once a week in January and February. Right now we would welcome a can of stored cold from last winter. I guess we’ll never be satisfied! How is Century II coming along in your local lodges? Articles written by the Home Office continue to be interesting and informative on this subject.

Verbiseer K-hicf Exc'cutire Officer 100 IN OUR 100th YEAR - Based on our current projections, by the end of 1993, the KSKJ membership should have over $100 million of life insurance in force. While this may not seem to be a very large amount for total insurance, consider the fact that at the end of 1986, we had less than $50 million for the membership. We have the Ifie insurance plans needed for the various needs of the members and their families. We suggest that you give your KSKJ representative a call today.

If Voq insurance policy up to date? need to uPdate your coverage with regard to: • Additional insurance I C hange of beneficiary I C hange of legal name You may have received information about our big project; the Slovenian Cultural Center is being built. We would like everyone to see this growing building. It is located near the following well-known Slovenian shrines: Baraga Home, Bishop Rozman’s tomb, Slovenska Pesem’s residence, and the number 1 Slovenian Library’s Treasury. The Slovenian Franciscan Fathers are blessing the building’s development each day with all their hearts and souls. We have many goals that we would like to realize through the SCC; however, we will need your help to see that they become a reality. The goals for the SCC are as follows. The SCC: —would like to heal the many wounds and fill in the many missing gaps in the community while still satisfying its supporters. —wants a friendly and positive relationship between its old and new donors. The registration and all the rights of all donors is to be permanent. —would also like to get background information on all Slovenian families about their particular skills and behavior and store this information in a computer. —would also like to keep in touch with fellow Slovenians who live far away. The correspondence would be done in both English and Slovenian. — would like to have friendly, helpful librarians who could help people find information and lost books and docu- HOW MUCH INSURANCE IS ENOUGH? - One way to decide how much life insurance you need is to figure how much cash and income your dependents would need if you were to die. Think of life insurance as a source of cash needed for expenses of final illnesses, paying taxes, mortgages or other debts. Life insurance can also provide income for your family’s living expenses, educational costs and other future expenses. The insurance should come as close as you can afford to making up the difference between (1) what your dependents would have if you were to die now, and (2) what they would actually need. CENTURY II - A New Beginning and correspondence courses the Slovenian community and with adults in both modern and its credibility will increase as classic foreign languages. it grows and changes. would like to have itself However, it cannot grow and advertised and promoted on change without your support. Slovenian radio programs, Turning to friends is the weekly, through interesting SCC’s only choice right now readings, lectures, recitations The SCC needs money, once etc. ^»aet your i j ur secretary or local representative! ments. — would also like to have Slovenian lessons for children, — would also like to have a monthly report sent out about the SCC and its activities. The report would be half Slovenian and half English. — would like religion to play a substantial role in it, and have a section on religion in each report, and open lines of communication between it and the Franciscan monastery and convent. Of course we realize that all of this will take time; it will not happen overnight. However, time is not the only thing we need to make these goals a reality. We are in great need of financial support. As all of you know any worthy project that is designed to help people who are spread out across great distances needs a lot of money; the SCC is no different. Money is our greatest concern right now, without it we will not bc able to continue to build the Slovenian Cultural Center, which is meant to benefit the Slovenian community everywhere. The SCC wants to be responsive to the demands of the money is available then work can continue and the SCC’s attention can return to realizing the goals it has set for itself. All of our goals will become a reality eventually, if they are instituted in a timely manner, but only if you offer your financial support. Please let your pride in your Slovenian heritage and your generosity guide you into making a donation to the SCC. If we all give a little, a little becomes a lot.

See you in Family Fest V Committee RIKANSKI SLOVENEC, JULY 14, 1 AMERIKANSKI SLOVENEC GLASILO AMERIŠKE SLOVENSKE KATOLIŠKE JEDNOTE < 6 AMERIKANSKI SLOVENEC, 14. JULIJ 1993 _j A Znamenja žrtvam povojnih pobojev Kamnik — Komisija za raziskavo povojnih množičnih pobojev, poravnavo dvomljivih procesov in drugih nepravilnosti, ki jo je pred dvema letoma imenovala skupščina občine Kamnik, je pripravila poročilo o svojem delu za zasedanje izvršnega sveta. Deset članov komisije je takoj začelo delati, poslali so posebne dopise posameznim krajevnim skupnostim in kmalu dobili prve podatke. V Šmartnem v Tuhinju so ljudje vedeli za grobišče, ki je nastalo ob koncu vojne pri vasi Sidol, na kraju, ki ga domačini imenujejo Jevnik. Eden od Se živečih borcev 15. divizije je natančno opisal dogajanje: njihova enota je zajela 200 ustaSev, jih postrelila in zažgala z bencinom. Tudi krajani Duplice so se odzvali, saj je bilo po ustnem izročilu na zemljišču podjetja Trival na Bakovniku večje grobišče. Kasneje so po besedah očividca izvedeli, da so tu žrtve pobijali poleti 1945, ko je bila pšenica dovolj visoka, da ni bilo ničesar videti. Na Cuzakovem travniku, kjer danes stojita tovarni Titan in Svit, je pokopanih 500 žrtev. Druga grobišča V Mostah so grobišča Groblje z 20 žrtvami, OgrSek in Moste s po eno žrtvijo, Ozka dela, kjer je pokopanih deset žrtev, in PodviderSča s po petimi žrtvami. Nastala so v letih 1941 do 1943. Kasneje so izvedeli za grobišče v Kuharjevem borStu, kjer je pokopanih 50 do 60 žrtev. Večji grobišči na tem področju sta tudi v švivSčevi jelSi, kjer je pokopanih približno 300 žrtev, in v Smavcu, kjer jih je 200. Komisija je dobila tudi pismo nekega občana, ki je natančno opisal dogajanje poleti 1945. Takrat je 15. divizija, ki je osvobodila Ljubljano, prišla v Kamnik, kjer je iskala vojne ubežnike. V Stranjah pri Kamniku je ujela večjo skupino Hrvatov, ki so jih zaprli v barake ob železnici. Oficirje so vsak večer po zaslišanju vodili v Žurbijevo senožet v Podgorju, kjer so pokopani. Preživeli oficirji so skuSali zbežati, vendar so vse postrelili; pokopani so nad Medvedovo domačijo v Podgorju. V Kamniški Bistrici sta dve odkriti grobišči, domnevajo pa, da jih je skupaj sedem. Med 10. in 20. majem 1945 so vsak dan v dolino vozili tovornjaki. Tu je 15. divizija pobila tudi 800 zajetih četnikov, vendar njihovi grobovi Se niso odkriti. Izvršni svet je poročilo obravnaval in sprejel tri sklepe. Komisija bo skupaj s sekretariatom za prostorsko urejanje pripravila osnutek odloka o zavarovanju doslej neurejenih ali neraziskanih grobiSč. Do začetka septembra bo komisija pripravila tudi predlog, da bi v Kamniku postavili spominsko znamenje žrtvam povojnih pobojev. Petra JaVrh v Slovencu. Res podlo dejanje Dr. David Acen, zobozdravnik iz Stuarta, Florida, ki je leta 1990 umrl za aids, je nekaterim svojim pacientom vbrizgal v usta novokain, med katerega je namenoma pomešal kapljo svoje krvi in jih tako okužil z HIV viruspm. Ena izmed teh (Šestih) pacientk , Kimberly Bergalis, je že umrla, dve pa sta zelo blizu smrti. Dr. Acer je bil homoseksualec in je vedel, da bo v kratkem umrl, kakor je poročal Miami Herald. Vedno več zahtev je sliSati, naj bodo zdravniki, bolničarke in sploh vsi, ki v svojem poklicnem opravilu pridejo v neposreden stik s krvjo, zdravniško pregledani na vsake toliko časa. Temu pa odločno nasprotujejo nekatere liberalne organizacije, kakor tudi Ameriška zdravniška organizacija (AMA). Lep napredek S prvimi žepnimi računalniki, ki so se pojavili v ZDA leta 1971, je bilo mogoče opraviti le sfiri osnovne računske operacije. Dandanes obvladajo najmodernejši žepni računalniki že operacije, za katere so bili nekdaj potrebni kom-pjuterji, ki so komaj Sli v veliko sobo. Slovenija eno samo grobišče Ko se je ves svet veselU svobode in miru, se je v Sloveniji dogajala največja tragedija naSega naroda. Nihče ne bi mogel povedati, kaj vse je storil slovenski človek, prežet z idejo komunizma in pijan v svojem zmagoslavju...NaSa lepa domovina je postala eno samo veliko grobiSče. ...Najbolj pretresljiva je tista zgodba o očetu iz vasi Korinj. Sin domobranec je ušel iz Teharij in se skrival doma. Čez čas je zbolel, a oče si ni upal po zdravnika. Sin je umrl, oče ni povedal nikomur, sam ga je zakopal pod domači skedenj. Ko je kmalu nato umrla iena in mati, je prosil meinarja, naj zvoni dlje, kot je običajno. Čez par let je skrivnost zaupal sosedom, ki so mu sina pomagali prekopati in ga odpeljati na pokopališče. Od žalosti je kmalu nato umrl še oče... (Kdor bo odslej poromal k cerkvi svetih Kozma in Damijana na Krko, bo med 176 imeni na blagoslovljeni spominski ploSči lahko naSel tudi ime tega nesrečnega sina). V Buenos Airesu je predaval podjetnikom bivši sovjetski premier Gorbačov,vstopnina pa je veljala 500 dolarjev. Imenovanje za nadškofa Ambrožiča Papež Janez Pavel II. je imenoval 26 članov Papeškega sveta za kulturo, štirinajst je kardinalov, dvanajst pa nadškofov in Škofov. Med njimi je tudi naS rojak, torontski nadškof dr. Alojzij Ambrožič. Iz domačega tiska: Cleveland, Ohio — Susan Z. Petty piše v clevelandskem Plain Dealerju od 21. junija: “Med večernimi novicami sem sliSala zelo zaskrbljujočo vest, da bo namreč The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) najodločneje nadaljevala boj proti molitvi v Šolah ali omenjanju Boga pri graduaci-jah. Zato bi ACLU rada povedala sledeče: Lepo prosim, borite se proti kriminalu, proti nasilju, proti revSčini in proti predsodkom vseh vrst, molitev v naSih Šolah pa pustite pri miru, razen če lahko dokažete, da je molitev vzrok za vse te nesreče. Nikar ne zapravljajte dragocenega časa z borbo proti molitvi v naSih šolah in ne zanikajte ljudem pravice, da se svobodno izražajo.” Mohoijeve knjige Cleveland,Ohio— Slovenska pisarna sprejema naročila za knjige celovške Mohorjeve družbe za leto 1994.

C Slovenci z vsega sveta — povežimo se! Katoliško središče Slovencev po svetu (KSSS) s sedežem v Ljubljani povezuje vedno več naših rojakov po svetu Janez Rihar, ravnatelj KSSS Ob nedelji Slovencev po svetu, ki jo praznujemo prvo nedeljo v juliju, se je Branko Rozman, urednik verskega tednika Družina pogovarjal z župnikom na Fužinah v Ljubljani,, Janezom Riharjem, ki je ravnatelj Katoliškega središča Slovencev po svetu (KSSS) in je znan mnogim našim rojakom iz ZDA, saj je spremljal našo skupino ob priliki lanskega obiska Slovenije in za nas maševal.

Podnevi nisem Sel več na sprehod. In sem jim bil hvaležen za to milost. Pet minut pomladi je bilo dovolj in preveč. Čutil sem jo, kot čutiš toplo odjugo. Rahlja ti vezi sklepov, peni ti kri v žilah in s svojim lenobno toplim dihom te kakor z razgreto čutnostjo priklepa nase. Sam si, brez moči, spoštljivo se umakne krepki, uporni jaz, njej pa se preda tisti jaz brez volje, tako brez moči, kot da so na njegovem nebu ugasnile poslednje zvezde. Človek ne ve, ali je to trpljenje greh ali molitev. Sicer pa nobena, ne slovenska ne kaka druga govorica ne premore besed, ki bi mogle prav dopovedati doživetja, ki so v samotni temi črpala mojo življensko moč. Če bi takrat priSel nekdo, ki bi mi povedal: čez minuto te ustrelim, bi mu z vso hvaležnostjo poljubil roko, tisto roko, ki bi čez minuto sprožila strel. V objemu teme Spet je paznik zasadil ključ v vrata. Drget me je spreletel po vsem telesu. Pričakoval sem isto vprašanje: kako se piSete? Ni ga bilo. Na prične je vrgel sveženj perila in posteljnine, Se enkrat izstopil in prinesel kartonasto škatljo. Vse je bilo brez besed, saj jih tudi treba ni bilo. Vrata so se zaprla, ostal sem sam in drhtel ob srečni misli: torej vedo, moji vedo, da sem živ in da sem v zaporu. Vse je ležalo križem kražem po celici. Začel sem ogledovati poslane stvari. Sveže perilo, robci, celo odeja in — kakSno razkošje — čisto bele rjuhe. Prsti so s pobožno naslado božali svežo belino. Potegnil sem iz žepa svoj “oprani” robec in ga položil k perilu. Zdaj sem Sele ugotovil svojo preprano umazanijo. Prekladal sem, urejal, se zahvaljeval dobrotnikom za vsak kos posebej in prvikrat občutil toplo čustvo: moji vedo zame, mislijo name, me ljubijo. Katere roke so vse to preSile in pripravile, katere roke so ljubeče zbirale prav tisto, kar sem si najbolj želel? Naj bodo blagoslovljene! Vedel sem, da me paznik skozi linico opazuje. Saj hočejo vedeti tudi to,kako deluje na zapornika prva pošiljka. Ves čas sem se trudil, da nisem kazal obraza. Ne bi hotel, da opazi, kako se mi leskečejo solze v očeh. V kartonskem zavitku sem naSel hrano; ni mi bilo zanjo. Zato me tudi ni motilo, da je bilo polovico gnilega ali plesnivega. Pač pa sem imel dokaz, da so morali že precej časa imeti to pošiljko in so verjetno oklevali, ah naj mi nudijo to ugodnost ali ne. Kasneje so mi povedali, da sta prišli tudi dve knjigi in brevir, pa mi zaenkrat Se ne morejo dati. Vedel sem, tiha vaba: govori, pa boš dobil vse. Odslej so me skoro vsak teden poklicali v posebno pisarno, ne na zaslišanje, pač pa da sprejmem zavoj. Vedno sem moral podpisati prejem jestvin, ki so jih temeljito preiskali. Če ne bi bilo zavitka, bi mi ustvarjal muko dvom: ali ne mislijo name ali pa so se naveličali pošiljati. Ko sem ga dobil, me je včasih pograbila taka objestnost, da bi treSčil vse skupaj na tla in bi se razletelo na sto kosov. Notranja zapuščenost, skrajni živčni napor in razdvojenost so se od časa do časa izrodili v nerazumljiv bes. In končno, čemu toliko jestvin? Najboljše stvari so mi pošiljali, a le redke sem mogel uživati brez Škode. Tako mi je redno ostalo pol zavitka. Teden za tednom sem paznikom oddajal jestvine, da se ne pokvarijo. Skrbno sem prisluškoval, kaj bodo storili z njimi. Imel sem željo, da dajo zapornikom, ki ne dobivajo paketov. A ponovno sem ugotovil iz pogovorov in Suma, da so si sami privoščili, kar jim je pač ugajalo. Pri vsem tem sem ostal sam, sam s svojimi mislimi, sam s svojo temo. Sledil sem gibanje okoli sebe. Neprestano so se menjavali “gostje”, vsak teden sem ujel drugačne glasove, le jaz sem ostal v popolni negotovosti. Nihče se ni zmenil zame. Tekli so tedni, minevali meseci. Ne da bi posebej prosil, mi nekega dne paznik prinese brevir in skrajSan priročnik dogmatike ter francosko konverzacijo. S tem se je pričelo čisto novo življenje. Kot do kraja izžejan sem planil po knjigah. Z brevirjem sem pričel. Bil je post, a nisem vedel drugega, kot dni tedna. Zmotil sem se v računu, kdaj pride Velika noč. Zato sem molil brevir po svojem koledarju. Mislim, da je takrat Bog sam prikrojil cerkveno leto zame. In upam, d3^ moja molitev nikdar ni bila tako 7,kr -kot tiste mesece, ko sem "naf0 i^c molil. k3*}0 'ei j«!'

It was held on Sunday, June 27 at Slovenska Pristava in Harpersfield, Ohio. We were again blessed with favorable weather. With the exception of a couple scattered thunder showers, which did not dampen the spirits of the picnickers, it was a very pleasant day. It was not too hot, nor was it too cool. A near capacity crowd was in attendance. The renewal of old acquaintances and comradery were in evidence from the opening of the picnic to the final roast beef sandwich. The balinca courts were in full swing from the opening to the closing bell; the children’s games were a pleasure to watch and/or participate in. The bake stand was sold out in only a short time. Many thanks to the ladies of the Ohio Federation who donated their baked specialties. We appreciate the appearance of Mr. Joseph Mullin, our national director of marketing, who came all the way from Joliet to be at the picnic. The clergy was also well represented bv Father Joseph Boznar, pastor of St. Vitus Church; Father John Kumse, pastor of St. Mary’s Church, in Collinwood; and Father Richard Evans, assistant pastor at St. Vitus. (A bit of information for our members, we found Father Evans to be a “ringer” on the balinca court.) It was nice to see the Barberton lodges come with a bus load of KSKJ members and friends; I hope that they all enjoyed the day. (Remember our next regional bowling tournament will be held in the Barberton area in October.) Music for our dancing and listening pleasure was provided by the Maple Heights Button Box Group. The liquid refreshments were under the capable direction of Frank Sega, and the kitchen was professionally managed by Julie Zalar. I would also like to thank Judy Ryan and Ron Zak for their expert preparation and handling of the children’s games. Thank you also to Joseph Fortuna for preparing and scheduling the various work assignments and shift changes throughout the day. In addition I would like to thank Frances Nemanich, soft drinks, etc; Barbara Kogovšek, bake stand; Josephine Winter, instant bingo; Josephine Baškovič, pick and win; Anne Nemec! treasurer; and Angela Bolha, children’s tickets and souvenirs.’ These ladies were in charge of their respective stands. We can’t however overlook the men and so we thank Joseph Pancar for taking care of the balloons and the helium gas, Joseph Rigler for handling all of the advance publicity, National President, Eugene Kogovšek, and Regional Director, Joseph Hočevar for their help and support. Finally, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jim and Madeline Debevec of the American Home Publishing Company, who so graciously donated all of the refreshment tickets. Thanks again Jim and Madeline, what a wonderful gesture. Thank you of course to all of the participating lodges and their members who volunteered their time during the picnic to tend bar, help in the kitchen, and in the aforementioned stands. Without the help of volunteers there would be no Ohio Federation of KSKJ Lodges Family Day and Picnic. Please note that our next Ohio Federation of KSKJ Lodges meeting will be held in Cleveland (Newburgh), Ohio on Sunday October 31. The meeting will be hosted by St. Lawrence Lodge No. 63. The exact time and place of the meeting will be published in a future issue of the Glasilo. Joseph S. Baškovič Joliet Lodges’ Picnic: A Success Joliet, II—Another combined Joliet lodges' picnic has come and gone. God blessed us with great weather after a forecast of lain. As in the past, everyone who came to the picnic enjoyed themselves. There was plenty to do with great food, bingo, games, and entertainment by Bobby Doszak and Benny Papesh, as well as the horseshoe tournament. Because this was the last year that Rose and I will be chairing the picnic committee, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation for all the great cooperation that we have enjoyed during the last five years. Without the great workers we have every year, the picnics would not have been as successful as they have been We would also like to thank everybody who donated bakery to the baked goods booth. We wish we could name each person who donated so much time to these picnics over the years but it would be impossible.

This year’s 51st American-Slovenian Day kicks off our second half century of Slovenian activities, here in western Pennsylvania. When we look over the past 50 years, we have many happy memories of Slovenian days past. As we look ahead to the future, we hope to create some new and even more memorable ones that will be treasured when the 100th celebration comes around. When the first Slovenian Day was held, the whole family boarded the trolley car or jumped into the family jalopy and headed for West View Park. Each year, fair weather or foul, the tradition continued. For many, it was a once-a-year chance to visit with old friends and acquaintances, and catch up on the latest news. For the children, it was a chance to enjoy the amusement rides while the elders talked amongst themselves. This year, we hope the family will jump into the van or family auto, and head for the Westmoreland County picnic grounds in Evanstown on July 25, for a day filled with activities for the whole family. It may be a bit nostalgic, but we are hoping to keep the old traditions alive by encouraging the younger set to bring their families for a good old-fashioned picnic amongst friends and acquaintances of our Slovenian community. The amusement rides at West View Park have gone the way of the dinosaur so we plan to reach back in time and resurrect the dinosaur himself. Therefore we have arranged for a certain purple dinosaur to be there; he is very popular with the young folk today. He left Slovenia as Boris, but became Barney after passing through Ellis Island (Doesn’t that sound familiar to many of us?). A photographer will be on hand to capture those special moments when the children sing and dance with the dinosaur, and a souvenir photo badge will be given to each child as they chat with him. Who knows... we may even have a mladinski zbor singing some Barney songs in Slovenian. As a special treat, each child in attendance will receive a special ticket that entitles them to a number of goodies. For the family, we will have a magician perform feats of magic for about 30 minutes.
