LONDON, Vel. Brit. — Pogajalci angleške vlade in gverilskega gibanja “Patriotic-ne fronte” so dosegli sporazum o premirju v kruti državljanski vojni v bivši angleški koloniji Južni Rodeziji. Ta vojna traja že 7 let m je terjala več tisoč življenj. Kar še ostane za pogajalce, so razne podrobnosti, med katerimi je najbolj važna določitev datuma, ko bo začelo veljati premirje. Datum je važen predvsem zato, ker hoče Patriotična fronta zasesti čim večji del Rodezije in s tem čim bolj okrepiti svoj položaj.
Rodezija je postala predmet mednarodnega zanimanja leta 1965, ko je skupina belcev, ki jo je vodil lan Smith, pretrgala zveze z Anglijo in proglasila Rodezijo kot neodvisno državo. Belci so hoteli obdržati svojo vodilno vlogo v tej državi, medtem ko je Anglija nameravala predati vso politično oblast črnski večini. Anglija, ZDA in skoraj vse druge države sveta so nasprotovale Smithovemu režimu in ga niso nikoli priznale.
Zadnja leta pa vodijo črnci gverilsko vojskovanje proti rodezijski vladi. Gverilci dobivajo gmotno in moralno podporo od večine afriških in azijskih držav. Podpirajo ]ih tudi komunistične države. Edino zanesljivo podporo je Smithu poslala Južna Afrika.
Sprememba stališča
Pred d verni leti so Smith in večina njegevih belih pedpor-nikov uvideli, da se bodo morah sprijazniti z dokončno Zmago črncev. To spoznanje

jih je privedlo do tega, da so začeli iskati zveze z bolj zmernimi črnskimi voditelji. Njihov cilj je bil ustanovitev skupne vlade, v kateri bi sicer prevladovali črnci, belci bi pa imeli določene zagotovljene pravice in celo privilegije. Ta skupna vlada naj bi bila potem sprejemljiva Angliji, ZDA in drugim zahodnim državam.
Smithu je res uspelo najti vodilnega črnca v osebi škofa Abela Muzorewe. Sporazumela sta se in ustanovila nc-vo vlado ter organizirala volitve. Muzorewa je postal novi ministrski predsednik preimenovane države Zimbabva-Rodezije, Smith je pa bil ime novan za njegovega prvega namestnika.
Angleška vlada je priznala, da je bilo vse to korak naprej. Patriotična fronta je pa odklanjala sodelovanje z novo vlado in je nadaljevala svoje vojskovanje proti njej. Da bi našla dokončno rešitev se je angleška vlada odločila sklicati posebno konferenco v Londonu in je povabila vse zainteresirane stranke. Kaj kmalu je dosegla sporazum z vlado Muzorewa, Patriotična fronta je pa bila bolj trdovratna. Pred dnevi so dolga in napeta pogajanja prinesla sporazum, ki utegne razrešiti rodezijsko afero enkrat za vselej.

Zadnje vesti
® Teheran, Iran. — Zunanji minister Ghotbzadeh je danes zjutraj izjavil, da bodo kmalu nekaj talcev izpustili na svobodo, druge pa predah sodišču. Študentje v poslaništvu so takoj sporočili, da to nikakor ni rčs.
° Tabriz, Iran. — Demonstranti, ki nasprotujejo novi iranski ustavi in ajatoli Homeiniju, so prevzeli oblast v svoje roke v tem mestu. Trdijo, da podpirajo ajatolo šari-jatmadari, ki tudi nasprotuje, Homeiniju.
Podpornica IM jo bila [fobčsna \i mofšORsie cerkve
STERLING PARK, Va. — Mormonska cerkev je izobčila 43-letno članičo Sonijo Johnson, vneto podpornico dopolnila ameriški ustavi, ki bi ženskam zagotovilo iste pravice, kot jih sedaj imajo moški. Vsaj tako pravijo podporniki tkzv. ERA, medtem ko nasprotniki ti’dijb, da je ERA nepotrebna in da celo pomaga uničevati trdnost družine. Med najbolj aktivnimi nasprotniki ERA je od vsega začetka mormonska cerkev, ki ima največ svojih članov na ameriškem zahodu, posebno v državah Utah, Nevada, Arizona in Idaho.
Voditelji mormonske cerkve so odredili, da morajo člani cerkve nasprotovati temu ERA dopolnilu in da nikakor ne smejo biti aktivni v organizacijah, ki delujejo v prid ERA. Mrs. Johnson, katere predniki so bili med prvimi člani cerkve, se je tej odredbi uprla. Njeno mnenje je, da je zadeva ERA privatna zadeva posameznika in to rej nima nobene povezave z mormonsko vero.
S	tem stališčem pa se niso strinjali mormonski voditelji, ki so trdili, da delovanje Mrs. Johnson za ERA škoduje cerkvi in njenim naukom. Pritrdili so, da ima Mrs. Johnson kot ameriška državljanka popolno pravico podpirati ir. glasovati za ERA. Kot članica mormonske cerkve pa nima pravice nasprotovati stališču cerkve glede ERA tako, da skuša prepričati druge mormonce o pravičnosti njenega mišljenja o ERA. Ker je pa Mrs. Johnson to delala, je nasprotovala voditeljem cerkve, cerkvenim naukom in z vsem tem hote ali nehote povzročila razkol v njenih vrstah.
Zvesta mormonka
Mrs. Johnson je sicer priznala, da je delala za ERA med drugimi člani cerkve. Razlagala je, da mormonska cerkev organizira tajne aktivnosti proti ERA v tistih državah, ki dopolnila še niso o-dobrile. Čutila je kot svojo dolžnost temu nasprotovati. Trdila je, da je verna in zve-.sta mormonka in da noče biti izobčena iz cerkve, v kateri je delovala vse življenje.
Pred dnevi je lokalna podružnica mormonske cerkve obravnavala to zadevo in prišla do zaključka, da zaradi njenega nasprotovanja naukom cerkve in zaradi njene izjave, da se ne bo kesala, zasluži Mrs. Johnson najhujšo kazen, ki jo more cerkev izreči članici: izobčenje.
Novinarjem je Mrs. Johnson povedala, da je zelo razočarana nad odločitvijo njene cerkve. Rekla pa je, da se bo pritožila, kakor dopuščajo pravila cerkve. Brez dvoma bo zadnjo besedo imel predsednik mormonske cerkve. 84-letni Stanley Kimball.
Mrs. Johnson je nadalje sporočila, da jo podpirajo njen mož in njeni štirje otroci. Priznala pa je, da njen oče in brat podpirata stališče cerkve.

W A S H I NGTON, D.C. — Predsednik Jimmy Carter je zaupno povedal skupini vplivnih članov Kongresa, da namerava stopnjevati ameriški pritisk na Iran, Kongresniki so bili povabljeni na večerjo v Belo hišo, da bi jim Carter orisal smernice svoje politike napram Iranu. Vse te ukrepe naj bi ZDA podvzele, ako ne bi Iran izpustil vse talce na svobodo. Med drugimi možnostmi, ki so mu na razpolago, je omenil predsednik, je ustavitev vseh pošiljk hrane tej državi.
Kongresniki so novinarjem sporočili, da se je Carter odločil za razne ekonomske sankcije proti Iranu in da do vojaškega napada ali blokiranja ne bo prišlo. Predsednik je pa pripomnil, da je glavna zavarovalnica na svetu Lloyd’s of London proglasila območje okoli Irana kot vojno področje. To pomeni, da so stroški zavarovanja tistih ladij in letal, ki so namenjene v Iran, povišani celo za 400%.
Vodilni člani Carterjeve vlade so se večkrat posvetovali v zadnjih dneh glede u-sklajevanja ameriške politike napram Iranu. V sredo zvečer je posebna delegacija odpotovala v zahodno Evropo z namenom ameriškim zaveznikom pojasniti stališče, ki ga bodo ZDA zavzele v tej krizi ter načrt za reševanje talcev, ki mu bo Carter sledil. Delegacija bo tudi iskala podporo za ZDA in se pozanimala za nasvete, ki jih ji lahko nudijo voditelji zahodno-evrop-skih držav.
Poznavalci iranskih političnih razmer so uverjeni, da bo iranska vlada popustljivejša glede talcev v naslednjih dneh. Navedejo kot razlog dejstvo, da so nekateri važm muslimanski prazniki prešli in da je ajatola Homeini dosegel veliko zmago v nedavnih volitvah o novi iran-sk ustavi. Zaradi vsega tega bodo baje Iranci kmalu pripravljeni za resnejša pogajanja o talcih in drugih perečih vprašanjih.
Včeraj je prišel prvi znak. da je to morda res. Zunanji minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh je namreč izjavil, da je bila resolucija, ki jo je sprejel Varnostni svet ZN, nekaj važnega in da bo verjetno pripomogla k reševanju krize o talcih. V sredo se je pogovarjal' po telefonu z generalnim tajnikom ZN Kurtom Waldheimom, ki je rekel, da je bil pogovor zanimiv.
Takoj po sprejetju te resolucije jo je Ghotbzadeh označil kot brezpomembno. Sedaj pa govori drugače, študentje' v poslaništvu sicer še vedno odklanjajo resolucijo in trdijo, da bodo “kmalu” sodili vse talce. Kot kaže, je torej zopet prišlo do nekakšnega razkola med temi študenti in vsaj nekaterimi člani vodilnega revolucionarnega sveta. To se je preje zgodilo med prejšnjim zunanjim ministrom Bani-Sadrcm in štu-

denti. Takrat je Homeini podprl študente' in odslovil Bani-Sadra. Sedaj je glavno vprašanje v Teheranu, ali se bo Homeini odločil za svojega ožjega sodelavca Ghotbzade-ha ali zopet za študente.
Položaj šaha
Šah Reza Pahlevi še biva na letalskem oporišču Lack-land v San Antonio v Teksasu. Njegov zastopnik za tisk Robert Armao je imel tiskovno konferenco, na kateri je posredoval nekatere podatke o vsakodnevem življenju šaha in njegove družine. Nekateri stari prijatelji ga obiščejo, pogovarja se po telefonu z drugimi in od časa do časa gre na kratke sprehode, je pojasnjeval Armao.
Na vprašanje novinarja, kdaj misli šah odpotovati v tujino in v katero državo bo šel živet, je Armao rekel, da ne ve in da tudi šah zaenkrat ne ve. Pritrdil pa je, da med državami, v katerih šah ne bo živel, so Južna Afrika, Panama, Bahama in Egipt. Vse te države so bile omenjene kot možne gostiteljice šaha.
Izjava Armao-a je take j vzbudila sum, > da hoče šah q-stati v ZDA za vedno. Sen. Kennedy je rekel, da bi morali imeti v Ameriki javno debato o tem. To ne sme biti zadeva, o kateri bo odločil le predsednik Carter, je dodal. Bela hiša je rekla le, da je šah obljubil predsedniku Carterju, da bo zapustil ZDA, ko mu zdravje dovoli in da ne bo zaprosil za politični azil v Ameriki.
Težave za šaha so pa še vedno iste. Nobena druga država razen Egipta, ga noče sprejeti. Carterjeva vlada je pa že sporočila, da šaha ne bo izgnala in da ga seveda ne bo izročila Iranu.

Poslaništvo v Libiji bodo IM zaprle za
nadofošen šas
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Carterjeva vlada se je odločila zapreti ameriško poslaništvo v Libiji, dokler libijska vlada ne prizna svojo odgovornost za napad na poslaništvo preteklo nedeljo zjutraj. Libijske oblasti niso ovirale več kot 2,00Q izgrednikov, ko so zavzeli in nato poškodovali poslopje poslaništva. Skupina 15 ameriških diplomatov in uslužbencev se je rešila s tem, da so bežali skozi zadnja vrata, ko so izgredniki vdrli skozi prednja.
Libijska vlada se je sicer opravičila za napad in ga obžalovala, ameriška vlada je pa opravičilo zavrnila s trditvijo, da je povsem nezadostna. Libijske oblasti baje niso spoštovale ponovnih prošen i ameriškega tajništva za zunanje zadeve, naj povečajo varnostne ukrepe okoli poslaništva.
Zastopniki Carterjeve vlade poudarjajo, da zaprtje poslaništva ne pomeni prekinitve diplomatskih odnosov med ZDA in Libijo. Ta država je

Po papeževem potovanju na Vzhod
LEMONT, 111. — Potovanje papeža Janeza Pavla II. na Vzhod — v Turčijo, kjer je obiskal Ankaro. Carigrad in Efez, je sovpadlo z večanjem krize v Iranu. Papež ni potoval, da bi obiskal kraje, namen nevarne poti je bil veliko višji. Kb je samo nekaj dni pred svojim potovanjem prvikrat razodel, da j gre konec novembra na Vzhod, je dejal: “Obiskal bom najprej prestolnico Ankaro, kjer bom pozdravil državne voditelje, nato bom šel v Carigrad, kjer bom obiskal njegovo svetost' patriarha Dimitriosa I. in se bom udeležil praznovanj ob godu sv. apostola Andreja, Petrovega brata. Sv. Andrej je patron carigrajske Cerkve. Tako brat odgovarja bratovemu vabilu — Peter Andreju. Oba skupaj pa odgovarjata na številne glasove našega časa, na božje vabilo v dobro krčanstva in Cerkve, ki je Kristusovo telo.”
S tem potovanjem je Janez Pavel II. pokazal, da hoče delati resno v izvajanju sklepov drugega vatikanskega koncila, katerega eden izmed važnih ciljev je bila edinost.
Ko so ga ob prihodu v Turčijo vprašali, ali se ne boji, da bi se kaj ne zgodilo med potovanjem, je odgovoril: “Ljubezen je večja kot nevarnost.” Nevarnost za njegovo življenje je dejansko obstojala. Splošno javno mnenje je bilo, da je neprimerno, da papež prihaja v mohamedansko deželo prav v času, ko je v islamskem svetu na višku odpor proti Zapadu. Vsaj tako so pisali carigrajski časopisi. Da je to res, so pričale demonstracije študentov proti papeževemu prihodu v Turčijo. Njegovo potovanje je sovpadlo z napetostjo v islamskem svetu, ki jo je povzročil Homeini, ki je pozival mo-hamedance na “sveto vojsko-’ proti Zapadu, posebno proti Ameriki, ki je po njegovem prepričanju pod popolno oblastjo Satana. Homeini je javno proglasil, da so Amerikan-ci napadli mohamedansko svetišče v Meki, ko je bilo od vsega početka jasno, da je napad izvedla mohamedanska skupina.
Uspehi papeževega potovanja ne bodo takoj vidni. Vendar pa je njegov pogum z odločno voljo, da izvršuje, kar je bilo sklenjeno na zadnjem koncilu, pokazal, da zelo napačno opisujejo Janeza Pavla II. oni ekstremni in napredni katoličani, ki pravijo, da je Cerkev pomaknil za sto let nazaj. Vse to iz odpora do tradicije, ki so jo zavrgli, ker mislijo, da je napredek v tem da ppzabimo na staro in začenjamo novo. Pravi napredek je vedno v razvoju, ki nada-
ljuje, kar je bilo ustvarjeno v preteklosti. To velja tudi za življenje in delovanje Cerkve.
Prvi pomen papeževega potovanja na Vzhod z namenom, da pospeši delo za edinost, je bil prav v zvezi z dogodki, ki so povezani s fanatizmom v Iranu. Papeževo potovanje je simbolično izrazilo, da krščanski svet ne more resno sprejeti “svete vojske”, ki jo je proglasil verski fanatik Homeini. To ni bil namen papeževega potovanja, a Janez Pavel II. ima s svojimi nastopi to moč, :da nehote, spriča javno, kar ljudje dobre volje nosijo v svojih srcih. Z njegovim obiskom duhovnega voditelja pravoslavnih kristjanov sta se po dolgih stoletjih srečala Zapad in Vzhod in s tem popolnoma slučajno tudi mohamedanizem in krščanstvo. Prav to je potreben nauk za Zapad, ki je v mnogih ozirih zelo naiven, posebno v ekumenskem gibanju. Nekateri, ki bi radi porinili Cerkev v ekumenskem- gibanju v napačno smer, so zelo naivni prav zarad tega, ker so izkoreninjenci brez vsake tradicije, da ne morejo videti, kako zelo je vzhodni svet, krščanski in mohamedanski, u-koreninjen v svojo tradicijo. Zato je bilo pretirano govorjenje o ljubezni v ekumenskem gibanju zelo naivno.
Papež pa je pokazal svoje spoštovanje in ljubezen tudi do mohamedancev in jih opozoril na naloge; ki jih imajo oni skupno s kristjani v današnjem položaju na svetu. Papeževo potovanje na Vzhod je Zapadu pokazalo, da ekumensko gibanje ni enostavno in lahko, ker se srečuje z ovirami, ki niso samo v naukih, marveč tudi v krvi.
7	Ko smo začutili verski fanatizem, kateremu nekateri prilivajo nafto in bencin, smo se lahko spomnili na turške vpade v slovenske kraje. Krutost tistih časoV je ostala trdo v spominu slovenskega ljudstva in je ohranjena v ljudskih pripovedkah in legendah ter v leposlovju. Najhujša rana onih časov so bili janičarji Turki so ob vpadu v naše kraje odpeljali s seboj mlade fante in dečke ter jih pre-, vzgojili v vojake, ki so v slovenskem slovstvu znani kot ■ janičarji. Ti so bili najbolj kruti v napadih dežele, ki je bila njihova rojstna domovina. Seveda tega niso vedeli.
Tudi današnji Vzhod ima janičarje. To so izkoreninjenci, ki živijo v ameriških mestih in so deležni ameriške izobrazbe. Zavrgli so zapad-no kulturo, zavrgli so dediščino ustanovnih očelov Združenih držav, in sprejeli ideologije, ki prihajajo iz brez-

Letna seja m bezicnica
CLEVELAND, O. — Članom In članicam društva sv. Vida sporočam, da bo naša letna seja in božičnica za člane in članice našega mladinskega oddelka v nedeljo, Iti. decembra, točno ob 1.30 (ob pol-dveh popoldne) v družabni sobi (Social room) v novi dvorani sv. Vida.
Na zadnji redni seji mi je bila dana naloga, da v imenu društvenega odbora povabim potom našega Glasila in A-meriške Domovine vse naše Člane in članice k tej važni letni seji. Ker se med letom v tako malenkostnem številu udeležujete mesečnih sej, vas vse prav prijazno vabim, da se vsaj letne seje udeležite v čim večjem številu. Prosim vas pridite in bodite točni, ker bomo s sejo pričeli točno ob pol-dveh, da bomo uredili vse naše društvene zadeve pravočasno. Po seji bodo naše vsakoletne “nedokončane zadeve” — klobase in ruj na kapljica...!
Vse to moramo urediti do pol-štirih, ko bo prišel Santa, da bo obdaril vse navzoče člane in članice našega mladinskega oddelka in bo prav gotovo imel tudi nekaj daril za srečne odrasle člane in članice! — Torej pridite in pripeljite tudi svoje otroke, ki so naši člani, da bodo deležni Santas daril.
Bratje in sestre, zavedajte se važnosti te seje — volitev odbora in druge važne zadeve, ki jih moramo rešiti le na letni seji in tudi napraviti načrte za prihodnje poslovno leto. Dajte odboru svoje dobre nasvete in priporočila v korist društva in Jednote. Ne pozabite, da je^se vedno v teku članska kampanja -— pridobite novega člana ali članico v odrasli ali mladinski oddelek. S tem boste koristili, društvu, Jednoti in sami pa boste deležni lepe nagrade!
Torej, na veselo svidenje v nedeljo, 16. decembra, ob pol-
božnega in mohamedanskega sveta. To je kulturna revolucija, ki ne traja le nekaj tednov, marveč ves čas po zadnji vojni. Ti moderni janičarji demonstrirajo po ameriških mestih ■ v korist muslimanstva, čeprav v resnici nimajo smisla za nobeno vero. Njihov namen je samo uničiti vse, kar je povezano s tradicijo. Ti janičarji so tisti A-merikanci, o katerih je Hru-ščev dejal, da se Ameriki ni treba bati ruskih komunistov, ker bodo Amerikanci sami vpeljali komunistični red v tej deželi.
Ljudje, ki so brez korenin, ker so zavrgli tradicijo, so naj Večja nevarnost za družbo. Ukoreninjenost v tradicijo je sedaj najbolj potrebna, ker brez nje ni nobenega odpora proti nevarnosti ekstremnih gibanj. Sedanje starejše generacije tega niso u-poštevale v svojo veliko škodo. Iz tega vidika sem objavil v Ameriški Domovini pridigo, ki sem jo imel v Lemon-tu ob obhajanju 20-letnice smrti škofa Gregorija (AD, ponedeljek, 26. nov. 1979: “Naša tradicija”). To priliko. porabim, da popravim napako, ki se je vrinila v ta spis.
V prvem stolpiču berite zadnji stavek četrtega odstavka tako: “Za nas je to shiotrnosl. ki jo je Stvarnik položil v stvarstvo, za nje je to doka,z, da se vesoljstvo ureja po zakonih in ne po volji Stvarnika,”

Oerkev sv. Jožefa v Joiielu, lil., Je bila obnovljena
JOLI1T, 111. — Skozi vse poletje in jesen je bila cerkev sv. Jožefa v popravilu. Že zgodaj spomladi se je delo spretnih pleskarjev pričelo s postavljanjem zidarskega o-dra. Vse križem in vprek je bilo raztreseno po cerkvi. Teda kmalu; so bile zakrite vse razpoke in obledene stene. Prebarvali so cerkev z bolj nežno svetlo barvo z rumeno-zlatimi vzorci. Postavili so tudi nove luči in preproge. Kar je najlepše v tem svetišču, je novi marmornati oltar. Zanj so zbrali veliko vsoto denarja sami farani v spomin pokojnemu župniku Romanu Malovašiču.
V nedeljo, 11. novembra, je bil blagoslovilni dan oltai-ja in obnove cerkve. Sam škof Joseph L. Imesch se je udeležii sv. maše. Bil je lep, toda mrzel jesenski dan. Iz šole se je vila v cerkev procesija. Krissy Čepon, Stan Markun, Mike Mavec in Lo-raine Ruth so v narodnih nošah podali škofu rdeče nage-• Ije. Paul Rozman je škofu zaželel dobrodošlico med farane Sv. Jožefa in razložil pomen slovenskega šopka nage-Ijev. Sv. mašo je daroval škof Imesch. Prisostvovali so: Msgr. M. J. • Butala, Fr. Joseph Purpora OFM, Fr. Kaf-fer, Fr. Atanazij OFM in Fr. Stefanich. Na žalost se župnik Fr. Tadej Trpin ni mogel udeležiti te slovesnosti. Bas v tistih dneh je moral ostati v bolnišnici. Bralca sta bila Diane Hrubaz in Pavel Rozman. Pela sta dva zbora. Zbor pod vodstvom Tonija Rozman je prepeval v slovenskem, angleškem in latinskem jeziku. Novi zbor je pa v angleškem pel obhajilne pesmi.
Po končanem bogoslužju je predsednik cerkvenega odbora, John Lukančič v najlepših besedah pozdravil prevzviše-nega škofa. Obenem je omenjal pokojnega župnika Romana Malovašiča ter ves njegov trud, skrb in delo pri tej cerkvi. Kako še vedno med nami živi in ne bo nikoli pozabljen. Marsikomu sp bile ob tako lepem govoru solzne oči. Želel je, naj bi še vnaprej bili složni drug z drugim, ljudje naj bi si pomagali v stiskah in potrebah. Pozabili naj bi vse neprijetnosti in nesporazume, da bomo kot ena katoliška družina in se še dolgo zatekali v zavetišče slovenske cerkve. Fr. Tadeju pa želimo trdnega zdravja.

“Stick-up!”
Toda malo je manjkalo, pa bi vsa dobrota dobrih Sloven-cey ne imela nobenega haska. S Hinkom sva šla proti avtobusni postaji, ko sta se pojavila iz teme dva črnca. O “stick-up” in “hold-up” še nisem imel pojma. Kaj sta govorila, nisem razumel. Radoveden sem ju gledal, ko je Hinko zavpil, da dvignem roke. Pogledal sem ga in videi, da moli roke v zrak.
“Koliko časa je tvoj prijatelj v Ameriki, da ne razume angleško?”
“Teden dni,” je odgovoril Plinko.
“In ti?”
“Jaz pa dva meseca.”
“Kaj pa delata tako pozno ponoči zunaj!”
“Na svatbi sva bila.” “Pojdita! Dobro srečo! Vidva imata oba skupaj premalo denarja za naju.”
Tako sem spoznal v enem večeru dobro in slabo stran Amerike.
Dela pa ni bilo . ..
Nikoli nisem bil navajen živeti brez dela, še manj živeti na tuj račun. Postal sem nervozen. Neprestano, mi je zvenelo v ušesih “brez dela ni jela”.
Ko bi bil takrat vedel to, kar sem zvedel kasneje, bi bil dobil službo mnogo prej, kakor sem jo.
Nisem vedel, povedal mi pa tudi ni nikdo, da so bile v Clevelandu posredovalnice za delo. Če bi bil to vedel, bi bil šel tja in delo dobil. Za človeka, ki je pripravljen sprejeti vsako delo, se delo vedno najde. In jaz sem bil pripravljen sprejeti vsako delo!
Preko Debevca mi je obljubil jiek italijanski zidar v Euclidu,. preko. Turkovih veletrgovina Kaiser.
Neko soboto zvečer sva šla z Vinkom od zadnje tramvajske postaje na 185. cesti domov. Na vogalu naše ulice je bila slovenska gostilna Čampa. Žejna sva bila, pa sva zavila v gostilno. Sedla sva za prazno mizo ob točilnici in naročila pivo. Ko sva na du-šek spila prvo čašo, naju je natakarica vprašala:
“Bosta še eno?”
“Bova,” sva enoglasno odgovorila.
Ko sva to spila, je prinesla natakarica vsakemu tretjo čašo. Protestirala sva, češ da je nisva naročila in da imava že dovolj.
“Pivo je plačano!”
“Kdo ga je plačal?”
“En gost. Vprašal me je, ah sta vidva Slovenca in ko sem mu povedala, da sta, je naročil za vaju in takoj plačal dve čaši piva. Pijta, saj je zastonj!”
Čez čas je prisedel za mizo, se predstavil in naročil še tri čaše. Branila sva se, ker sva žejo že davno pogasila. Frank je govoril dobro slovensko. Povedal nama je, da je poročen in da ga je slovensko naučil oče, ki je bil zelo strog in je imel vsako nedeljo za o-troke slovensko šolo.
Vprašal je, kje delava. Odgovorila sva mu, da še vedno iščeva delo in da sva pripravljena sprejeti vsako delo.
“Slišal sem, da bo tovarna, v kateri delam, sprejemala nove delavce. Če bo kaj, vaju bom obvestil. Dajta mi naslov in telefonsko številko.”
Dala sva mu .naslov, telefonske številke pa ne, ker je nisva imela.
Ko sva odhajala, sva še mu še enkrat zahvalila za pivo in priporočila za delo.
Na poti domov sem pivo čutil. Vinko me je vprašal, ali upam, da nama ho mladi, pri-
jažni Slovenec pomagal dobiti delo ali ne.
Spomnil sem se, kako so Srbi po vojni v Nemčiji odgovarjali na ameriške obljube. Ponovil sem:
“Ameriško obečanje, ludo radovanje! Veliko ne verjamem. Toda včasih te čaka sreča tam, kjer jo najmanj
pričakuješ. In tako je bilo!
*
Vinko je začel delati v tovarni ‘,‘Sealy Mattresses”. Delo je dobil preko prijatelja Johna. Ker je bila tovarna daleč in je moršl enkrat celo prestopiti, je zgodaj odhajal in se pozno vračal. Ko se je vrnil, ga je čakala pripravljena večerja. Zaslužil je 85 centov na uro!
K delu
Bil sem še v postelji, ko sem. slišal, da me nekdo išče. Bil je moj mladi znanec Frank. Šel sem k vratom.
“Hitro se obleci! Zunaj imam avto. Peljal te bom v tovarno, če hočeš dobiti delo. Pravkar so začeli sprejemati nove delavce.”
“Samo umil in obril se bom!”
“To kar pusti! Meni se mudi! Delal sem celo noč. Samo obleci se!”
Neobrit in neumit sem sedel v avto.
“Delavci se ne brijemo vsak dan! Dobro se drži, bodi korajžen, pa boš delo dobil. V tovarni imamo Slovenci dobro ime. Še vedno nas je preko 50 odstotkov. Včasih jih je bilo več.”
Učil me je, kako naj govorim in kaj. Naenkrat sva bila pred tovarno, popravljalnico parnih lokomotiv New York Central železnice. Pokazal mi je, kje je pisarna, naročil, da grem notri in čakam.
Mlad fant j e. že čakal v pisarni. Delovno obleko je nosil pod pazduho. Pripravljen je bil takoj začeti.
V pisarno je prišel visok gospod srednjih let.
“Tisti, ki je bil prvi, naj gre takoj za menoj!” je rekel.
Mladi'fant je sledil gospodu. Kasneje sem zvedel, da je bil ta gospod Mr. Stone-breaker, ravnatelj tovarne. Fant je kmalu opravil. Vrat za seboj ni zaprl. Iz sobe je zadonelo: “Naslednji!”
Ravnatelj mi je ponudil stol in vprašal, kaj bi rad.
“Službo!” sem odgovoril.
Vprašal me je, kdaj sem prišel v Ameriko, odkod sem in kje sem že delal.
Odgovoril sem, da sem doma s kmetov in da znam delati vse; kar pa še ne znam, se hočem naučiti.
Opazil je, da je moja angleščina slaba. Vprašal me je, ali govorim nemško. Ko sem potrdil, je zaklical:
“Rudi, Rudi...!”
Čez čas se je pojavil na vratih Rudi, močan mož srednjih let. Stonebreaker mu je rekel, da znam nemško in ga prosil, da mi pojasni, kaj bom delal in koliko bom zaslužil.
“Delal boš kot kotlarski pomočnik (boilermaker helper), zaslužil boš $1.47 na uro in imel boš bolniško, nezgodno in starostno zavarovanje. Ali si pripravljen delati?”
“Seveda sem, zato sem prišel.”
“Kje si pa že delal?”
“Doma na kmetih sem delal vse. Na železnici sem pa delal le, ko sem bil v Dachauu. Iz taborišča smo se vozili vsako jutro z vlakom v. Muenchen na glavno postajo. Tam smo odstranjevali razbije vagone ih robo, zasipavali bombne lijake in prenašali tračnice.”

Misijonska srečanja in pomenki
Iz Ankarane, Madagascar,
458.
kjer so 22. oktobra 1978 dozidali novo cerkev, se je oglasil 30. oktobra misijonar g. Janez Kosmač. V tej postojanki je z delom zastavil pred leti misijonar Buh. Glavni tajnici piše: “Že precej časa si nič ne pišemo. Medtem sem bil na dopustu in se srečno, hvala Bogu, vrnil nazaj in znova prijel za plug na tem koščku Gospodove ledine.
Že precej časa ne dobivam ‘Ameriške Domovine’, petkovo izdajo. Ali je pošta kriva ali ste nehali pošiljati? Škoda!
Kako drugače MZA? G. Wolbang se tudi nič več ne oglasi.
Ponovno se Vam zlasti zdaj ob misijonski nedelji zahvaljujem za vse, kar dobrega naredite za misijone, za vse žrtve in molitve! Vsemogočni naj Vam stotero povrne!
Ostanimo duhovno povezani, drug drugemu v pomoč! Vaš Janez.”
Sestra Silva Žužek se je oglasila z dolgim pismom 4 novembra. Med drugim piše: “Zadnjič sem pisala v aprilu, potem ni bilo več mogoče.
Medtem sem šla na novo-mašniška posvečenje obeh no-Vomašnikov. Gdč. Zofija Bucik je pisala ekspresno letalsko pismo že v začetku junija. Dobili smo ga proti polovici julija. Nič zato. Ko je novo-mašnik prišel prvič maševat' v naš samostan, sem mu pismo pokazala in ga prevedla. On je po angleško odgovoril, kar šem spet prevedla in poslala po letalski pošti gdč. Zofiji. Upam, da je dobila.
Od druge dobrotnice gdč. Jele Oražem pa nisem prejela nobenega pisma. Morda se je izgubilo? Naša pošta je slaba. Ven že kako pošljemo, a dobiti pisma v Ghano ni tako enostavno! Nikoli ne vemo, koliko pošte ne pride do nas.

Danes imam veliko prošnjo:
Še predno sem se lani vrnila v Ghano, sem dobila sporočilo, da so nekateri aparati v lekarni popolnoma na koncu. Nekaj sem jih že v ZDA kupila z darovi slovenskih dobrotnikov in to sem našim rojakom sporočila. Vse pakete sem cele in v redu prejela že pred Veliko nočjo. Posebno smo bili veseli ‘portable field sterilizers’. Od takrat nismo v lekarni imeli več nesreč z opeklinami na obrazu in rokah.
Kupila sem tudi veliko ‘spare-parts’ (nadomestnih delov), tako da smo v tem oziru preskrbljeni, hvala Bogu in dobroti naših slovenskih rojakov. Vsega tega se pri nas ne dobi. Še nimamo takih tovarn, čeprav imamo ležišča aluminija in drugih mineralov.
Sporočili so mi tudi, da je naš destilni aparat na koncu, kar sem že preje vedela. V ZDA sem se pozanimala pri družbi ‘Barnstead Stills & Co.,’ ker smo sedanjega pri njih kupili pred mnogimi leti.
V vsej Ghani imamo samo eno malo tovarno za ‘intravenous infusions’ in jim je nemogoče zadostiti našim potrebam. Pred leti smo mislile, da bomo polagoma opustile našo ‘intravenous solution room’ in da ne bo treba kupiti novega destilnega aparata. Vse leto smo imele silne težave z njim in s kupovanjem ‘infusions’. Ko sem se vrnila iz ZDA sem vse sporočila našim predstojnicam in odločile so, da bomo kupili nov destilni aparat ‘Barnstead Stili 5 GHP, 1 one phase’, za $2,428.00 (vključena je cena za prevoz z ladjo, okrog $400.-00). Mislim, da je to zelo dobra cena. Obljubila sem, da bom prosila naše rojake za pomoč pri tem ‘project’-u. Pred nekaj tedni mi je sestra upraviteljica sporočila, da so aparat naročili in dodala je ceno. Upa, da ga bodo kmalu poslali. Hvaležno pa bodo sprejeli vsak dar, ker letos smo morali kupiti veliko stvari za bolnico v ZDA, zaradi slabih gospodarskih razmer v naši državi. Tako smo porabili veliko denarja, ki je bil namenjen za ‘urgent capital expenditures’ za druge stvari, npr. zdravila, laboratorijske aparate, itd.
Včeraj se je ena naših sester vrnila iz Philadelphije in nam je sporočila, da so aparat poslali tja, ker družba ni || mogla najti ladjo za prevoz ^ v Ghano. Molimo skupno, d^ ^ ga srečno dobimo in da bi šlo na carini brez težav. Imamo ts slabe električarje, vendar upa- g mo, da bo aparat dobro služil g-za destiliranje vode za naše g ‘intravenous infusions’, za na-še bolnike.	g
Zelo smo hvaležne našim g rojakom, da smo si mogle na- g baviti ‘air conditioner’ za na- g šo lekarno, v skladišču. Od le- g ta 1973 ga imamo in nabavljen ^ je bil z darovi naših rojakov. ^ Ko sem prišla v Ghano, sem ^ videla, koliko zdravil se je || pokvarilo, zlasti tablet. Kar g stopile so se. Stal je 700 do- g larjev. Od takrat smo na ^ zdravilih prihranile več, kot ^ je aparat stal. Tudi lekarno g smo takrat povečali, kupili no- ^ va okna, vrata, itd. Koliko g-dobrega naredijo naši rojaki g leto za letom s svojo pomočjo g misijonarjem.”	tg
Kaj vemo o savni
Kopanje v savni je zdravo. . Pri visoki temperaturi suhega zraka lije znoj v potokih. Po treh obiskih po deset minut v savni lahko brez truda izgubimo en funt ali še več.
Savno so poznali že Grki in Rimljani, ki so se potili v pregretih toplicah tako dolgo, da. so ozdraveli. Finska je ohranila te kopeli za pomlajevanje do današnjega dne. Sedaj so parne kopeli nameščene tudi že v ameriških kleteh, kjer se veliko družin znoji v lastnem domu.
Na Finskem je zavestno znojenje nekaj vsakdanjega. Finci se hranijo in pijejo med kopanjem. Športniki se zdravijo s pomočjo savne, kajti kopanje v savni vpliva ugodno na čvrstost, na uspeh in gibčnost mišic.
Kopanje v savni je mnogo-stransko: očisti bronhije, z znojenjem zamori nahod, očisti pljuča in dihalna pota, zniža krvni pritisk in pomaga pri srčnih obolenjih.
Dobra savna je takale:
*	Biti mora popolnoma zra-kotesna. Prepih in hladen zrak ne smeta imeti dostopa vanjo.
*	Naprava mora imeti brezhiben sistem za odvod pare in za dovod svežega zraka.
Preden bi si nabavili savno, pa bi se vsekakor mqrali posvetovati z zdravnikom, ker več bolezni ne prenese te vrste kopeli.
Obiskovalec savne sedi ali leži v njej nepremično. V začetku zadostuje osem do deset minut. Zatem se telo na zraku ali pod mrzlo vodo počasi ohlaja.

Spoznajte se z banko , zgrajeno na zaupanju
Spoznajte AmeriTrust of Cleveland, novo ime za Cleveland Trust, naj več jo banko v Ohiu.
Ime je novo, a podeduje 85-letno dediščino zaupanja v svojih strankah in prebivalcih Clevelanda. Dovolj zaupanja, da je utirala pot do poslovalnic v soseščinah in je stalno gradila nove podružnice, ki so služile Clevelandu, ko se je mesto razširilo in rastlo.
“Trust za vedno” — Cleveland Foundation je bil ustanovljen leta 1914 kot prva mestna “trust” ustanova v ZDA.
Zaupanje v ljudeh, dokazano v finančni paniki leta 1933, ko je Cleveland Trust odprla svoja vrata vsem vlagateljem, ki so hoteli dvigniti denar, to kljub temu, da je veliko clevelandskih bank moralo zapreti vrata za vedno.
Zaupanje v bodočnost Clevelanda, dokazano z vlaganjem več kot 55 milijonov dolarjev za povečanje glavnih poslovnih prostorov v središču mesta in gradnjo novih podružnic v zadnjih 10 letih. Banka je pripravljena na nova vlaganja v tem smislu.
AmeriTrust morda predstavlja novo ime med bankami Srednje Amerike, a takšen uspeh ni prišel ta noč.
Potrebna je bila banka, kakršna je bila Cleveland Trust.
Potrebno je bilo tudi mesto Cleveland, da je bilo vse to mogoče.

BOŽIČNI OBIČAJI
Prvi izmed naj večjih praznikov cerkvenega leta je praznik Kristusovega rojstva. Ta praznik v zvezi z drugim (Novo leto) in tretjim (Sv. Trije kralji) je na Slovenskem izredno čaščen. O tem pričajo lepi naši običaji, med katerimi naj omenimo predvsem redni, vsakoletni obisk polnočnice na sv. večer, jaslice, ki morajo počakati Svečnice, večerne molitve po hiši na sv. večer s kadilom in škropljenjem z blagoslovljeno vodo,. :Meščani so posneli od tujcev božično drevesce, ki seje pri. nas dodobra udomačilo in ga moramo prav tako šteti k običajem.	'	< . !'
Še danes pa so, znani, na, Slovenskem različni praznoverni običaji ki so preostali iz poganske dobe. Božič so namreč praznovali v jutranjih deželah 6. januarja, šele od leta 354. ga praznujemo 25. decembra namesto poganskega praznika sončnega obrata. Božič je nam Slovencem
po vražah tako svet, da pride: vsakdo, ki umrje ta dan, naravnost v nebesa. Zato je ta dan posebno ugoden za izpraševanje bodočnosti. Ponekod je razširjena vraža, da na sve-,ti večer govore živali med seboj in prerokujejo bodočnost. Njih govorico pa more razumeti le pobožen človek.
O božičnih praznikih denejo na mizo ne le kruh, temveč tudi med, orehe, otrobe in druge slične stvari. To store trikrat: prvič na sveti večer, drugič na večer pred novim letom in slednjič na večer pred Tremi kralji. V “kranjskem jeziku” se imenujejo ti trije dnevi “trije Božiči”.
. . Med praznovernimi običaji na božični večer omenja Valvazor “panj”, katerega kmetje takrat. denejo na ogenj, oblijejo z vinom, oblože z raznimi jedili in ognju prigovarjajo. naj jih použijo. Enako je bilo v navadi vsakovrstno srečkanje in vedeževa-

nje. Dekleta pa so hodila v teh skrivnostnih večerih k' vodnjaku ali k potoku gledat svojega bodočega ženina.
Pri tej priliki se je nekemu hlapcu blizu Kamnika, ki je zlezel na drevo in se nagnil nad vodo, da bi ženske v njej zagledale njegov obraz, odlomila veja in je padel v vodo. Glede “bodočega” je ponekod tudi ta vera: ona dekle, ki se zvečer pred dnem sv. Tomaža umije po vsem telesu in, stopi z levo nogo prva v posteljo, bo ponoči videla svojega “bodočega”.
Tudi pri vlivanju svinca naj se pokaže bodoča sreča in nesreča. Vendar pa svinčena kepa zahteva zaradi svojih čudnih oblik posebnega izvedenega razlagalca, ki tolmači bodočnost iz sence na steni, ki jo pokaže svinec, iz ostankov, ki obleže v vodi, ko dvignete svinčeno kepo itd. Ako dobi svinec podobo venca ali prstana, to naznanja, da se boš oženil, podoba križa napoveduje smrt.
Svinec se vliva vse te svete večere, večinoma na Silvestrov večer pa se mečejo čevlji, da se spozna, kdo bo šel
še med letom od hiše. Na desno nogo si napol nataknete čevelj in ga vržete čez glavo. Ako čevelj pade s konico proč od tebe, boš moral iti od doma, če pa je obrnjen s konico proti tebi, boš ostal doma. Tako so vedeževali na kmetih posli, pa tudi domači fantje in dekleta, če jim je prišla doba, da zapuste hišo.
Med običaji, ki so doma med koroškimi Slovenci, naj omenimo tega, da pogrnejo ondod kmeti na sveti večer mizo s slovenskim prtom, to je s prtom iz belega platna, z rdečimi in belimi čipkami in ki ima poleg tega še v sredi rdeč okraj ek. Na mizo postavijo nato “miznjak”, to je božičnih ali božični kruh, kadilo in žito. Vse to leži na mizi do poldneva naslednji dan.
Starodavni so ti naši domači običaji, ne moremo reči, da ne bi bili lepi. Še vse lepše je pa Sveta noč sama, preživeta v ljubezni in prijateljstvu.

N@¥s zdravilo za »sh zaostale
Dr. Jerome Lejeume, predsednik genetičnega ^ oddelka na pariški univerzi, napoveduje, da bo kmalu na razpolago zdravilo za umsko zaostale
(mongolizem): “Smo zelo blizu, da bo znanost razvozlala ta problem. Čutim, da zadeva hitro zori. Vzelo bi več ur, če bi podrobno opisoval vsa raziskovanja, ki smo jih izvršili, toda morem vas zagotoviti, da bo odkritje tega zdravila lažje kot je bilo poslati človeka na luno”-, je dejal dr. Lejeume delegatom na mednarodni konferenci, ki jo je sklicalo Združenje za pravico do življenja — Right to Life Association v Torontu, Kanada. Glavni govornik je bil znani znanstvenik William Liley, profesor psihologije spočetih a še nerojenih otrok v Novi Zelandiji.
Liley in Lejeune sta člana Papeške Akademije znanosti, ki spada v posvetovalni krog papeža.

V BLAG SPOMIN
OB PRVI CGLETNICI SMRTI NAŠE LJUBLJENE SESTRE, TETE IN SVAKINJE
IVANKE P08RAJEC,
ki je umrla dne 10. dec. 1978.
Ti si srečna, v Bogu srečna, prosiš Stvarnika za nas, naj nas zvesto On varuje, pelje skozi zemski čas.
žalujoči:
sestra Albina Osenar, družine Osenar, Kolarič, Gobec in Lončar
Cleveland, O., 7. dec., 1979.

šči že tudi srebrna nitka.
Jitruška je bila tudi, kakor da je pustila svojo mlado dušo v Bakovskem pod razvalinami, kjer je bilo vse zame-teno s snegom in koder je po-letaval le kragulj — oni, o katerem je rekel vlhevec, da je to Niklotova duša. Neprestano so jo mučile misli, da postane mlada vdova in da si bo morala, ko prihodnjo pomlad zopet zazelenijo lipe, o-vijati okrog glave vence iz njihovega listja.
Nenavadno zamišljen je bil tudi starosta Ljudevit, in mati Živena si je na skrivnem pogosto brisala s predpasnikom oči. Tako naglo je minula njuna sreča in v stari glavi se jima je z večjo in večjo silo vrivalo vprašanje:	“Za-
kaj ?”
Sobehrd in Vratislav sta si dan na dan kratila čas z lo-vcm, naj je bilo vreme kakršnokoli. Toda kakor da sta njuna loka izgubila prožnost in kakor da jim je vedno veter zanašaL puščice, da nista zadela cilja. Vedno sta se vračala praznih rok. In nad njima je popolnoma nizko letel vran, čudno, da se s peruti ni dotikal njunih obrazov, in ko sta pomerila nanj, se mu je izdrl iz kljuna krik, kakor da
se jima posmehuje, in puščici sta se nedaleč od njih zarili v tla ...
“Prečuden kraj ... Ne hotel bi.v njem umreti, nerad bi pustil v njem svoje kosti. Na prsi mi lega vsak dan bolj dušeča teža...
“In meni šele, prijatelj!” Sobehrd prime nato svojega prijatelja, knežiča Vrati-slava za roko in se zagleda v njegovo obličje, da postane Premislovcu pri tem pogledu tesno pri srcu ... “Vse se za te še lahko obrne k dobremu.”
“Le pod enim pogojem!” Sobehrd je te besede vrgle iz sebe in zdelo se je, da so ga ne vem kako utrudile.
“In pod katerim?”
“In hočeš to res vedeti?” “Ali še vedno ne zaupaš. Sobehrd? — In vendar si se o moji odkritosrčnosti že mnogokrat lahko prepričal!”
“Tiče se tebe, vas vseh ... Bolje bi bilo molčati!”
Sobehrd se je udaril s pestjo ob čelo.
“Tem bolj si mi dolžan zaupati ...”
“Če hočeš, vedi... Če bi se tvoj svetli oče zopet vrnil k nam...”
“Če bi se pot ponesrečila?” “Da ... hotel si vedeti... m zdaj se ne čudi...”
Vratislav se je streznil pri mrzlih besedah, ki so prišle preko Sobehrdovih ustnic .. . “Ne razumem te ...”
“Potem ti moram pojasniti vse... Če sede tvoj oče na vojvodski prestol, pride drug ženin po tvojo sestro, drug jo odpelje seboj, ubogega Sobe-
hrda se ne bo nihče niti spomnil, tvoji svetli oče bo iskal zaveznika, in tvoja sestra je najtrdnejša vez in najvabiji-vejše sredstvo ... Odpusti Vratislav, da govorim, tako odkrito. Morebiti bi mi za teden dni več ne bilo mogoče.”
Nato sta mladeniča umolknila in po poti proti Malhovu ni tihote, ki je nastala po celi pokrajini, motil nobeden niti z besedico.
Le Draguška je bila kot da je že od nekdaj v tem kraju. In tej Prernislovi hčeri je bilo najprijetneje izven Malhov-skih utrdb. Cesto jo je bilo videti na strani očeta Dobro-gosta, ko je stopala z njim pod strehe, na katere je sedla Morana... In ljudem se je zdelo, da je na strani tega duhovnika naj čistejše ljubezni stopil pod njihove strehe

Many local and out of • town clubs and lodges run a regular monthly ad in our newspaper containing information such as: Names of officers, time and place of meetings, etc. This lodge roster is published once a month. Ths price is $20.00 per year, which is low considering the service it renders your group.
Lodges which run these ads usually get free publicity announcing their meetings and other important notices.
Yearly meetings are usually held during December. We suggest that all lodges and clubs vote for this monthly ad.
angel miru, da bi otiral z vra-skovitega čela mrzle kaplje smrtnega potu, da bi šepetal trepetajoči duši besede naj-slajše utehe ... in kako so jo pomodrele ustnice blagoslavljale, kako ji želele vse najboljše!
“Da bo to enkrat naša kneginja? — Kako rad bi vstal iz grcba, kako rad bi potem živel? — Mojih dni je že veliko število, let že blizu sto, za življenje, ki ugaša, mi ni žal; toda potem bi vstal vendar le rad •—- zelo rad! — Ona
bo naša kneginja!”
In stara, stoletna glava na preprostem vzglavju je pri teh legla k poslednjemu spanju.

JOSEPHINE MLAKAR,
rejeno I SIR K
Zmerom težka žalost v duši in krvaveča rana v srcu je ob težki dolžnosti, ki je naložena nam žalujočim za zmerom odišlim iz skupnega zemeljskega doma, naznaniti nepričakovan ter nežcljen odhod in zahvaliti se vsem tistim, ki so sočutno razumeli ta težko-usodni trenutek v našem življenju, a po naši globoki veri dojemljiv in razumljiv, ker zmerom pride po skrivnostnem ukazu na-
šega večnega Gospodarja, ko pokliče k Sebi enega naših najdražjih.
In tak Njegov tihotni poklic si je 18. oktobra 1979 ob bleščeči zarji jesenskega večera izbral mojega dragega moža, ko sva bila že 70 let neločljivo povezana z blago-slovno močjo svetega zakona, in večkratnega strica ter duhovnega očeta p. Inocenta

Umrla je bila rojena 14. junija 1900 v Dvorski vasi pri Velikih Laščah na Dolenjskem v Sloveniji. V Ameriko je prišla leta 1920.
Bila je članica Oltarnega društva pri Sv. Vidu, Društva sv. Magdalene št. 162 KSKJ in Društva sv. Katarine >t. 29 WSA.
Njeno življenje se je zaključilo 5. oktobra 1979. Pogreb je bil 9. oktobra ISIS iz Zakrajškovega pogrebnega zavoda v cerkev sv. Vida in na to na pokopališče Kalvarija.
Vse pogrebne obrede z mašo in pridigo je cpravil njen bratranec msgr. Alojzij Baznik, za kar smo mu prisrčno hvaležni. Somaševal je župnik fare Marije Vnebovzete Viktor Tomc, za kar se mu lepo zahvaljujemo. Pri pogrebni sv. maši je na orgle igral g. Janez Rigler in ^o spremljal s petjem, za kar se mu zahvaljujemo, kakor tudi njegovi sopevki.
Prav iskreno se zahvaljujemo vsem, ki so umrlo prišli kropit in molit za zveličanje duše umrle, posebej še gg. duhovnikom msgr. Alojziju Bazniku, Jožetu Bož-narju, Francisu Paiku in Jožetu Simčiču. Zahvaljujemo se članicam Oltarnega društva in Društva sv. Magdalene, ki so glasno molile rožni venec, vsaka organizacija
posebej.
Bog naj v obilni meri povrne vsem, ki so bili tako radodarni pri darovih za maše in drugih dobrih namenih. Prav zelo smo hvaležni vsem, ki so s cvetjem tako lepo okrasili mrtvaški oder.
Zelo smo hvaležni za nam izrečena sožalja in sočustvovanje z nami ob bridki izgubi naše mame.
Prisrčno se zahvaljujemo vsem, ki so se udeležili pogrebne sv. maše in pogrebnega sprevoda, še posebej Karolini Kastelic, ki je na pogreb prišla iz Toronta, v Kanadi. Krsto so nosili najbližji sorodniki.
Zahvaljujemo se dobrim prijateljicam, ki so za pogrebščino darovale pecivo.
Vsem, ki so se umrle posebej spomnili, smo se zahvalili s karticami, če bi koga ne dosegla, ga prosimo, da to javno zahvalo sprejme kot prpv njemu namenjeno.
Zakraj škovemu pogrebnemu zavodu se zahvaljujemo za vso postrežbo in skrbno vodenje pogrebnega sprevoda.
Nepozabna mama, stara in prastara mama, tašča. Zelo žalujemo za Teboj, bila si vsem tako dobra in ljubezniva. Hvaležen bo vedno ostal med nami spomin na Te. Bog naj Ti v nebesih poplača vso Tvojo skrb za nas. Počivaj v miru!

JOŽE ŠKRABE

Žalujoči:
JOSEPHINE, poročena NOVAK, MARY, poročena BALISH, JULIE — hčerke;
LUDOWIK NOVAK in JOHN BALISH — zeta;
JANICE. KATHY, ELAINE, ROBERT, MICHAEL in JOHNNY — vnukinje in vnuki ter 9 pravnukov.
Euclid, Ohio, dne 7. decembra 1979.
in ga zvabil v skrivnostno deželo večnega miru in radosti, v kateri človek za zmerom odvrže zemeljsko haljo nadlog in bolečin. Res je, da takšnega poklica si nikdar ne želimo. Smo pač vsi še preveč zemeljski, kljub naši tolikokrat le z besedami izpričani veri, in prenekajkrati le pride tisto tiho in mirno ter blagoslova polno olajšanje, ob odvzemu vse Skoraj nezmogljive teže človeškega življenja.
Moj mož Jože se je rodil 14. marca 1884 v St. Ažboltu pri Trojanah, kjer je včasih tekla meja med Kranjsko in Štajersko. Po očetovi smrti, še otroče je tod že služil kot pastirček. Pozneje se je v Celju izučil pekovskega poklica. Kmalu je odšel proti Dunajskem Novem mestu in za zaslužkom prišel v Ljubljano. Tod sem jaz služila in po božji volji se srečala z Jožetom, ki je 1. 1907 odšel za kruhom še naprej v svet, v Ameriko. Po dveh letih bivanja in dela v tej deželi me je poklical k sebi in p. Zakrajšek naju je dva dni po mojem prihodu 9. oktobra 1909 z božjim blagoslovom za zmerom povezal. In ravno po 70 letih zakonskega življenja, ki se nama je že nagibalo k stoletju, ga je božji Modrec in Stvarnik naš poklical v svoj svet.
Kot je dragi odšel pred menoj v Ameriko, da pripravi najin skupen zemeljski dom, tako ga je majin skupni Gospodar poklical v brezmejni dom veličastja, da meni pripravi prostor v njem. In, ko se bova tamkaj po tej začasni ločitvi spet srečala, vem, verujem, da bo to najlepša najina združitev, ki ne bo nikdar prešla v ločitev.
Pokojni je ležal v pogrebni žali Peter Geis v Ridge-
Glendale, N.Y., 7. decembra 1979.
vvobdu, kjer je še zmeraj najmočnejše slovensko naselje.
Pokojnega smo pokopali v ponedeljek, 21. oktobra 1979-
Precej je bilo dobrih ljudi, ki so mi nudili pomoč v teh težkih dnevih, in opravili vse, kar jaz zares nisem : mogla, da je pokojni Jože lahko šel po lepi zadnji pori-Vsem tern, moja iskrena zahvala in za vse prosim Boga, da bi jim bil darežljiv s svojim blagoslovom.
Moja, posebno srčna zahvala gre njujorškemu slovenskemu župniku, očetu Richardu Roganu za vse obiske na domu in bolnici, za vse molitve, ki jih je z nami opravil v pogrebni žali in ob darovanju vstajenjskega svetega obreda v slovenski cerkvi sv. Cirila na Osmi ter ob grobu na pokopališču sv. Trojice v Brooklyn, N.Y.
Iskreno se zahvaljujem članom Sv. Jožefa in članicam Marije Pomagaj, članicam Slovenske ženske zveze ter vsem faranom slovenskega Sv. Cirila, ki so pokojnega Jožeta poslednjič obiskali v pogrebni žali in ga pospremili prav do kraja njegovega zemeljskega počivališča.
Hvaležno se zahvaljujem vsem darovalcem cvetja tei crim, ki so naročili mašne molitve za pokojnega, kakor tudi tistim, ki so darovali denar v ta namen.
Še enkrat vsem iskrena in prisrčna zahvala za vse^ Izrečena je v bolečini, a prav zaradi tega zares iskrena, meni bo ta iskrena zahvala živa do poslednjega mojega diha. Šla bo z menoj prav na skrivnostni prag našega večnega — skupnega domovanja.

Christian precepts could only be experienced from within.
True enough is the fact that Baraga pro\dded a climate in which the need for religious and moral education could be nurtured in North America; he gave his Indians much-needed spiritual nourishment, love and moral support. But, Baraga always remembered the fact that the quest for a spiritual existence had to be sorted out by the Indians themselves. Education of any type, including education having to do with value clarification, has to: occur within the heart and mind of the individual himself. Only at such a point can the foundations for a purposive and free Christian existence be firmly cemented.
Those Indians who converted to Christianity in Baraga’s day can be called “true Christians.” Baraga’s manner of calling individuals to become citizens of the Church was highly successful.
In reality, the relationship that members of such North American tribes as the Chippewa and Ojibway shared with Baraga—a true example of Christian love and devotion — led them closer to God. In the end, one can see that Bishop Baraga was very much attuned to his times and that he performed a very worthwhile service while in North America.
For being so wise in his actions, this sheperd of the wilderness, truly will never be forgotten.

Bishop Frederic Baraga, the remarkable missionary who made religion a part of the real world more than 100 years ago, will never be forgotten! Clear evidence of this fact was brought home to all those in attendance at the Baraga weekend held in honor of this Snow-Shoe priest in Cleveland, Ohio approximately two months ago.
Both first and second generation Slovenians, along with a noteworthy number of Americans, availed themselves of the opportunity to become an integral part of this spiritual manifestation.
Collectively and personally we chose to reflect on the life of Frederic Baraga — a man who did so much for the North American Indians in his time. This missionary’s self-confident, and at the same time, unostentatious nature, truly made him an admirable individual and a man of the people — a message eloquently delivered by the Most Reverend L. Ambrožič.
The fact that Frederic Baraga truly gave of himself to his Indians, that he was a deeply sensitive man, and that, he was a true advocate of cultural pluralism cannot be overstated or repeated often enough. Furthermore, his approach to religious issues was also of a commendable nature.
What seems important, more than anything else, is that Baraga remained certain of the fact that “religion” could not be imposed in a doctrinaire fashion from above, and that it could not aim at a product. Conversely, this missionary aptly noted that the need for God and
Dec. 20, 1979 will mark 60 years since this writer has lived at the same address and it makes me feel very ancient. At least my creditors do not have to worry about me. I still remember my good mother telling me about this incident years ago. When we moved from 15935 Whitcomb Rd., the place of my birth, and stepped foot into the house at 6926 Hecker Ave., we were there only a few minutes when. I blurted out, in baby talk Slovenian, “Mama, pejmo namu” (meaning, “Mother, let’s go home”). It seems that I have really gotten accustomed to the change since then.

Not so long ago we had a surprise visit from retired Abbot Bonaventure (Lawrence) Bandi, O.S.B., Canon City, Colorado. He is another of the “old gang” whom we have not seen in years. Bishop Bandi concelebrated an evening Mass at St. Vitus with a number of Slovenian priest sons of the parish, after which a reception was held for him in the auditorium. For such short notice quite a number of his brother priests, relatives and friends attended. It. was so nice seeing you Abbot Bandi after so many years. God love you and do visit us
again!

FRAK MAURK SAYS
I, Fran Mauric, Ways & Means Chairman for the Auxiliary of The Slovene Home for the Aged, wish to thank, and thank profusely, the many, many people who contributed so extravagantly and generously' to the Bake Sale held on the weekend of Aug. 4 and 5 at the E. 185th St. Fair. The response, indeed, took on a depth beyond expectations.
I am a greatr-proponent of the saying that it is indeed the ’lil guy who deserved the biggest pat on the back.
The most successful chairmen are nothing without the guys in the kitchen. Therefore, I certainly do thank each and everyone for every little bit or lot that they gave. But it does seem right that I should mention the names, of the people, who in my estimation, as I said went beyond expectations.
The PSW No. 3 from Recher Hall made and donated 80 bags of noodles The Ladies Aux. of the Slov. Soc. Home on Recher made 64 doz. donuts, St. Mary’s Altar Soc. made a large supply of strudel and donuts, Rose Bavec a big supply of noodles, as did -our own members, Mary Stražišar No. 6 and Theresa Gorjanc, a large supply of same and a valuable potica. Theresa is also a faithful volunteer at the Home. Mary Grilc solicited monies from non-bakers and then used the money to make strudels, poticas and danishes.
Mary, with a great deal of help from Florence Kovach and Marie Mocilnikar and husband Cyril, manned the stand in front of Kovac’s Real Estate. Thanks also to the. Kovac’s for letting us use their office, to store supplies. Caroline Kovac baked 100 gingerbread people, banana bread and brownies, wow! Jennie Trennel, along with help from her daughter, Stef-fie Gričar and Sophie Person, baked 55 loaves of both raisin and corn bread, with supply costs being absorbed by our profits, as they should be.
I had rented the kitchen at the Slow Home on Waterloo. Contacted the milling co. and purchased 150 lbs. of flour
and then prevailed upon the following women: Mary Ster and Pauline Ross made donuts with 50 lbs. of the flour, the remaining flour was turned into delicious rich, rye and raisin breads by Elizabeth Marin, Rosa Burlovic, Lena Mucci, Anne Lunder, Theresa Stampfel, Jo Hirter, Emily Starman, and Jean Križman donated 15 doz. eggs and was there for two days running necessary errands and carrying goods from the Hall to the sale stands, as did my willing husband John. Mary Grilc’s husband Cyril, also, was a great help.
Many thanks to the generous ladies of The West Park Slovenian Plome Auxilary and to P.S.W. No. 2. Alice Bozic also spent many hours helping everywhere and making pizeiles, Gene Drobnič 10 loaves of Pizza-ummm bread. Madeline Debevec, Kathy Guist, Ann Snyder and Mary Kirschner for their very, very generous financial donations.
The following names are the contributors, or what we have listed:
Urusla Rakovec, Marie Mocilnikar, Helen Vukčevič, Ann Cebul, Josephine Trunk, Ann Lenz, Jessie Rich, Jennie Srobot, Helen Levstik, Bernadette Rini, Lillian Johnson, Jan Voinovich, Sally Furlich, Mary Komorowski,, Agnes Princic Ann Novak, Mitzi Vesel, Nettie Mihelich, Nettie Mihelich, Nettie Bukovnik, Price, Rose Žnidaršič, Ann Skully, Betty Rotar, Vida Zak, Mary Turk, Ann Orenik.

Also, thank you to Tony Petkovšek for much publicity and to you, the American Home.

The phenomenal growth that Independent Savings Association, 1515 E. 200th St., has experienced in its first seven months of operation is evidence of that. The- institution currently lists total pssets of more than $7 million and savings in excess of. $5 million, projections the savings and loan did not expect to ■ reach until the conclusion of its first year of business.

- , Things are going so good . that Independent Savings' President Harold Swope is : now predicting a total of $10 | million in assets when the 7 institution reaches its first
i
1 anniversary in March. He added that expansion to new : locations is now being considered.
It took two years for the driving forces behind Independent Savings to get char-,r tered, construct its building . and sell stock. The key step -was justifying a need for the institution and obtaining the ■ charter from the Ohio Department of Building and Loan.
Swope and fellow directors Frank Berzin, Jeffrey A. Cole, ; James J. Conway, Louis L. Drašler and John F. Kovacic did that by pointing to the population and average income of Euclid and surrounding areas and contending that they were not being adequately served by 'existing savings and loans and commercial banks.
In addition, Independent Savings would become the only financial institution • to be headquartered in Euclid.
Swope said Independent Savings’ customers come from

all over Lake and Cuyahoga counties and he attributes that to six percent passbook accounts, the highest daily passbook rate offered in northeast Ohio.
Independent Savings has also draw from the area’s ethnic population. Swope credits that to having influential members of the Sloveniap community on the board of directors.	;
“Our institution is known in circles, as the Slovenian institution,” said Swope.
- Swope said Independent Savings is looking to open its first new branch within six months, but would not disclose the site. He said it would be in close proximity to the E. 260th Street site. He said expansion to adjoining counties is also being considered.
Independent Savings cur-. rently offers a number of programs, including free checking at BancOhio branches for customers with more than $500 in savings, automatic transfer between its savings accounts and BancOhio check-accounts and direct deposit cjf Social Security checks. A Christmas Club is schedule^ to go into operation ^ithin the next week.
Independen Savings is open from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday and from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The drive-in window is open until 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

IN MEMORY OF DR* KERN
iardf 18, f 1ST - October 4, (970
We are here to honor the memory of Dr. Frank (Jauch) Kern, our friend, father, and fellow Slovenian. Who side-by-side with his wife Agnes (Vertin) Kern devoted the greater pail of hi; I'J': of 92 years to the cause of human brotherhood.
Born in the Village of Brez-nica, parish of Škofja Loka, in upper Carnolia (Gorenjska) March 18, 1887 the 9th child of a sheepherders and cottagers family on Ljubnik Mountain.
Typical of many thousands of youths at the turn of the century, Frank Jauch came to America at the age of 16, accompanied with Reverend John Solnce in 1903.
He attended St. Pauls Seminary 3 years. In 1908 he enrolled at Western Reserve University where he received his doctorate degree in 1912, and practiced in Cleveland over 50 years.
To earn sufficient funds to further his education he worked as an editor of a weekly publication in Calumet, Michigan. In Calumet he met his wife Agnes, daughter of a pioneer family.
In 1906-1907 he was business
James W. Tekavec Is new Slovenian Attorney
JAMES W. TEKAVEC
Euclid, Ohio — The Slovenian community received the good news that a third generation Slovenian announced the opening of his office detected to the full time practice of law.
As a general practitioner Within the community for the Past seven years, James W. Tekavec has found the areas pf probate law, personal in-•inry and workmen’s compensation to be the most satisfying.
Born in Collinwood area, ^tr. Tekavec graduated from Buclid High School and John Carroll University. He re-Ceived his law degree from Cleveland State University in ^2 and was admitted to the hio Bar in the same year. James is the second son of ijilliam and Julia Tekavec. v-13 parents reside in the Weland area, and are well n°wn in the Slovene com-^nnity.
Bis practice is located at 0°0 Euclid Avenue, Suite . Euclid, Ohio, where he associated with Joseph Co-leUo and Patrick Rocco. James is married to the for-,,er Barbara Doubek and ley reside in Euclid. He is o-t president of his home-k ^ers association and also |..0 h he and his wife are ac-01Ie ^embers of ALMA and > civic organizations.
Ashing him good luck in sinS new Phase in his profes-nal career . . .
His many friends -------------
manager of Nova Domovina newspaper, predecessor of the American Home.
He was in the campaign to raise funds for the Slovenian National Home on St. Calir Ave. He was its first President, 1916 to 1920. Also in 1908 he was active in founding the Slovenian Library, as well as President and Superintendent of the Slovenian Language School.
In 1925 he published his English Slovenian Reader, 1919 a dictionary, also contributed articles in Ohio Medical Journals such as actino-therapy in general practice 1922 and Recurrent headaches and nuerogenic equivilants in 1947.
He was supreme medical examiner for Fraternals S.N.P.J. and S.D.Z. now known as American Mutual Life Assn.
Throughout his medical career, Dr. Kern has helped thousands of our pioneers to better health, especially in the post war influenza epidemic of 1918 and 1919, when hundreds died of flu and pnuemonia.
In 1916 Dr. Kern was amongst the founders of the Slovenian Building and Loan Co. which became International Savings and Loan in 1934, changed to St. Clair Savings and Loan Assn, in 1936 where he served as a director for over 45 years.
On March 20, 1966 he was honored as Slovenian Man of the Year by the Slovenian National Homes in Cleveland, Ohio.
Dr. Kern became a well educated, cultured and principled man, widely read, the literature of the world and giants of histroy were his teachers.
He learned from life and his fellow workers, he witnessed the havocs of automation. He longed and worked for a solution of many problems. He was not a spectacular flame, rather one of those glowing embers kindled by Tom Paines “Rights of Man”.
He willed to be free. He was one of those immigrants to whom the words on the Statue of Liberty should mean what they say, ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to be free”.
He was generous and helpful to all who needed help. He believed with Thomas Jefferson that, “The masses of mankind had not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted out and spurred ready to ride legitimately by the grace of God”.
Dr. Kern felt as the famous Abraham Lincoln. In a speech in New York City to the Workmens Association he said that the strongest bond of Human Sympathy outside the family relation, should be of uniting all the working peoples of all nations.
He had a feeling of sympathy for the great leader and organizer of rail and steel workers, Eugene Debs, when he said, “I have never advocated violence in any form, I have always believed in education, intelligence, enlight-ment, as well as always appeal to the conscience of my people”.
Dr. Kern was much atoned to the words of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said, “We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions, bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Who ever seeks to pit one nationality against another,
Slovan Fall Conor!
Dec. 9 si lecher Kail
The fall season is upon us again and its time for SINGING SOCIETY “SLOVAN” to entertain you.
: But, we have something new for our Dec. 9th Fall Concert.
Slovan will have a combined concert with our guest from Toronto, Canada, FANTJE NA VASI. This fine group consists of fourteen men and under the direction of Mr. Ignac Križman.
At the top of their officers list as president is Mr. Louis Rigler, brother of our director for Slovan, Mr. John Rigler.
As we see it now, family and friends will be together for this occasion.
To make this concert a success for our guests from Canada, all we need is you. More
seeks to degrade all nationalities, whoever seeks to set one race against another, seeks to enslave all races, whoever seeks to set one religion against another, seeks to destroy all religion.
Dr. Kern was a man of peace. He had faith in man, a faith that man through his intellect can learn to control the universe and nature, a faith that man will learn to work and live together.
This is the beauty of life, the endless quest and joy of working, searching, thinking together, expanding the world into greater avenues for happiness to all.
He was amongst the first contributors to the Slovene Home for the Aged. Dr. Kern was a part of this quest; working for its reality. This is the beauty in the stillness and quiet repose of Dr. Kern, for whom at the end of his life we can say, “He was a man, a husband, a brother, father, friend.
To you his daughter Ella, his only survivor, who bears the deepest pangs of sorrow, we who knew him, extend our warmest of friendship and sympathy, and pray for the day that peace and brotherhood may encompass all of mankind.

During the 1930’s, the stores ~ were the home of Capitol Clothing Co., a men’s readymade suit outlet.
Around 1940 it was John’s Soda Ear and Restaurant and continued as a dining spot, under various names, until it was vacated in the early 1970’s.

By FRANK ZUPANČIČ
On Friday, September 21st, a century-old building at 6301-03 St. Clair Avenue tumbled under the incessant pounding of a wrecking crew’s onslaughts.
The two store fronts in the landmark building as well as the living quarters above had been vacant for more than 5 years before the demolition.
In the early 1870’s, the then newly constructed commercial structure made its debut as the “William Francis Hotel”. It was in the East Cleveland Township at that time, just before the community was annexed to the city of Cleveland.
Early Slovenian settlers will recall that the two stores were Frank Kenik’s Men’s Store and the Rose Stanko Hat Shop around the 1910 era.

Recently the American Home’s Friday Eenglish Page has been besieged with publicity releases from clubs, lodges, and organizations. Since our newspaper space is extremely limited, the groups who have their printing work (admission tickets, refreshment tickets, etc.), done at the American Home will obviously have first priority with their publicity releases.

AN ETHNIC
(Installment Two)
By John P. Nielsen, PH.D. Period of Innocence
Although we now lived in the outskirts of the city, we did not really live in the suburbs, There were suburbs nearby, but they comprised stylish houses, mostly brick, whereas our houses were frame type generally of simple design. Our new community was about one-third of other nationalities: Croatian certainly, some Italian and Polish, and a sprinkling of Irish. There were no vintage Americans with names like Harrison, Wilson, etc. But a kind of America presented itself to us: cars mostly, baseball, hot dogs, ice cream, chewing gum, etc. We took this all in with relish, of course, but still we opted to remain Slovenian in our main life style. Saturdays we went to Slovenian polka dances, and on Sundays, in the summer, we managed always to find some picnic sponsored by a lodge or a church.
Baseball was an interesting intrusion into our way of life. It iSTvided the immigrants from their children. No immigrant that I can remember ever played baseball with us youngsters, in spite of their being immigrants as young as eighteen and twenty. None of them could learn to throw a ball worth a bean, or to
catch one. I rationalized this
to myself that Europeans | were too clumsy for sports, a This rationale of course did .
not hold up, for today I know.’; that soccer and even basket-! ball are played with superb| skill by Yugoslavs. What If know now is that learning ton participate in a sport is a|j human development thatij) must be acquired at an early j age. If once the early age hasS passed, the learning oppor-jf tunity is lost forever. My wife! did not learn to swim when! young. In her forties, she vowed to learn to swim. After! many hours of helping her in; a pool, we gave it up as a lostj cause.
*1
Bronowski, in his book, “Ascent of Man”, describes! the interesting phenomenon of language learning. If a child by the age of eleven or so has not learned to speak a] language (there are cases of children being raised by Wildf animals), his ability to learr.f to speak a language, any lan-j^ guage, is lost forever. Bronowski spoke Polish when young. Later he went;to England and learned English, as well as .other languages. He forgot his Polish completely.^ But he learned his other languages after the age of eleven! only because he learned Polish when very young.	S,
American music . was an-M other bridge to Americaniza-K tion. My parents did learn the<| popular songs of the day —1 not well, but enough to enjoy® listening to them (“Beautiful;! Ohio”, “I’m Forever Blowing^ Bubbles”, etc.). Plowever, jazz:j| and blues left them complete-:^ iy cold. Here again, the ap-ll predation of indiginous mu-j sic, as the ability to play in-i diginous sports, is acquired J only in the early years. Well, ? we children of the immigrants ‘rad the best of two worlds. Ye played American music, hose of us who played musi-al instruments, and participated in American sports. However, our baseball teams ■ •.ere generally ethnic ones, Hie Slovenian teams played :■ ;ainst the Italian ones, for example. When we played American jazz, it was generally with a polka band.
The girls I dated, or tried to, were Slovenian, and on rare occasions, Creation or Polish, almost never Italian or Irish. And I certainly never crossed the line and dated a girl from the nearby suburbs.
This life style left us reasonably content. It was comfortable, secure, and warm in many ways. There were dozens of Slovenian homes where I was welcome to visit, and I enjoyed helping out at a backyard cookout, or pitching in to help fix a broken down car.
Looking back, my valley was indeed green. We, born here of Slovenian immigrants, assimilated the Slovenian peasant culture quite fully, but we were not denied all of the culture of America, such as filtered through by osmosis, and a powerful osmosis it was for some of us.
I might pause to say that in writing these words I have a nagging feeling that it is all commonplace. That it is all dull stuff. But I write it because it was impressed on me by the editors of this monograph series that the commonplace experience should be documented.
Actually, our family, Sesek, was very ordinary in the Slo^-venian community in Nottingham. There were families that were a good bit higher social-quite participatory in the local activities among the Slo-ly, and financially, and were venians. I mentioned the vineyards owned by Jalovec acres and acres! from E. 185th Street to 200th Street, and from Shawnee Avenue to Neff Rd. A family named Gerl was highly regarded as a successful entrepreneur in that it had perhaps a half a dozen horses used for excavating new basements for the many houses the Slovenians were building in the 20’s. There was a Mavec family that built houses for Slovenes, doing everything: bricklaying, plumbing, carpentry, etc. There were vintnars, such as the Erste family, who, by this trade, were leaders in the comrhunity, (back in the St. Clair area) because wine making was a lucrative business among the Slovenes. We bought a ton of grapes each fall, and got it processed into juice by the vintnar, yielding,
I believe, four 50-gallon barrels. But I knew a family that put up fifteen barrels a year. It was exciting to watch the day-to-day progress of the fermentation of the wine juice (mošt) into wine.
A little further out from Nottingham were farmers, with some having large enough farms to own their own threshing machine, and to employ a half a dozen field hands (hlapces). My uncle assisted a group in . starting a Slovenian bank, of which became president in due course. During prohibition many a family went into a private tavern business, frequently confined to the kitchen, and maybe including an enclosed

When wifi Baraga be canonized!
Speech given in Cleveland on September 2, 1979.
By Fr. DAN RUPP
Today as we gather together on this commemoration of Baraga, there is one question that is on our minds and our lips. I know I have been asked it several times by many of you. And the question is this: How is the Cause of Bishop Baraga progressing?
When will Fredric Baraga be Canonized?
This is a very good question. The difficulty is we often look for the answer in the wrong place. We ask the priests and the bishops gathered here at the head table, but they are not the ones who can answer this question. The priests and the bishops here today give us their support and their encouragement.
But if Bishop Baraga is to be canonized, it is not because the bishops have asked for it, but it is because the American and the Slovene people have asked for it.
If we want the Cause of Bishop Baraga to cross the ocean and to reach Rome, it must ride on a mighty tidal wave of popular devotion. If we want the Cause of Frederic Baraga to be heard in Rome above the cries of almost three thousand other proposed Causes, then it must be the voice of a numerous chorus in unison asking for the canonization of Frederic Baraga.
My brothers and sisters, if we want the canonization of Frederic Baraga, then it is not going to be the work of one solitary historian studying the life of Baraga. It will not be the work of a few isolated pastors here and there who foster Baraga’s Cause among their flocks. It will not be the work of a few bishops who gather together at a banquet in Baraga’s honor once a year.
No, if Baraga is to be cano- jj nized, his Cause, must be founded on a ground swell of popular devotion.
His Cause must be in the hearts and on the lips of a chorus of people proclaiming that Baraga is important to them.
That is why for me, Bishop Ambrozic’s homily last night was so meaningful. He wds able to share with ms how Baraga’s life, how Baraga’s example!, how Baraga’s canonization is important in his life. And he was able to share with us the examples of Baraga’s self-confidence in the grace of the Lord, his sense of mission in doing the Lord’s work, and his willingness to embrace the spirituality of his people, his willingness to make sacrifices for souls, was important in his own spiritual life.
Bishop Ambrožič really shared with us how Baraga has been and continues to be an inspiration in his own spiritual life.
And so, if the Cause of Bishop Baraga is to continue, then we must all make Baraga’s own life a source of in* spiration for our own personal growth;
And just think for a moment, here is a man, Frederic Baraga, who just over a hundred and fifty years ago, lived in the first seminary in Ohio, whose first convert in the new world took place in Ohio on the Mississippi River, that here is a man who wanted to stay in Ohio when he saw the great spiritual needs of the people of this state rather than going off to the distant Indian missions.
Here is a man who preached in the Lutheran church in Dayton, a man who was consecrated a bishop in the cathedral in Cincinnati.
And so we see then that Frederic Baraga is a man who lived and worked and suffered a part of his life in the state of Ohio.
And so we should be anxious to learn more about him, to join the Bishop Baraga Association and read the Baraga Bulletin, to learn more about his life and to realize that sanctity is not something far off on some other continent, or of centuries ago like Saint Francis or Saint Paul or Saint Ignatius, but that sanctity and a holy man lived and walked in our midst, right here in Ohio.

Through Bishop Baraga, sanctity can be made something that is contemporary, that he lived amongst us not so very long ago, right here in Ohio. And so, when will Bishop Baraga be canonized —t when and only if Frederic Baraga, his life and his example lead us closer to Jesus Christ.
