Reagan se vrne v ZDA danes po 10-dnevnem obisku v Evropi — Ostri napadi na ZSSR in Nikaragvo - Demokracija edina pot
LIZBONA, Port. — Včeraj je bil predsednik Reagan na obisku na Portugalskem, kjer se je srečal s portugalskimi državniki in govoril na zasedanju parlamenta. Danes se bo Reagan vrnil v Washington, D.C. Predsednik in njegovi najožji svetovalci ocenjujejo 10-dnevni obisk v Zahodni Evropi kot zelo uspešen, priznavajo pa, da je Reagan naletel tudi na precejšnje nasprotovanje njegovi oborožitveni politiki in stališču do Nikaragve.
V	vseh njegovih govorih, tako v Nemčiji *n pred evropskim parlamentom v Strasbourgu, Franciji ter Španiji in Portugalski, je Reagan zelo ostro kritiziral ZSSR in poudarjal ameriško nasprotovanje marksističnemu sandinističnemu režimu v Nikaragvi. Zaradi tega so komunistični in drugi levičarski Poslanci vsakič demonstrativno zapustili dvorano, kar pa predsednika ni nič spravilo s tira. Včeraj, ko so komunisti zapustili dvorano portugalskega parlamenta, je Reagan de-Jal le, da mu je žal, da je postalo nekaterim Poslancem nerodno, ostali poslanci pa so mu močno ploskali.
V	vseh govorih je Reagan poudarjal vrline politične demokracije in tudi kapitalističnega ekonomskega sistema. Druga svetovna vojna je naučila zahodne države, da ni dovolj, ako le želijo mir; zavedale so se, da Je treba tudi prizadevati za mir. Zavedali smo se nevarnosti s strani tistih, ki so hoteli napraviti konec neodvisnosti in svobodi naših narodov, je govoril Reagan, in smo Primerno odgovorili: ustanovili smo veliko °brambno koalicijo, ki je tudi uspela. •
Reaganovi poslušalci so v precejšnji meri odobrili njegove besede zoper Sovjete, niso pa bili dosti naklonjeni embargu zoper ikaragvo, ki ga je bil napovedal predsednik Pred prihodom na evropsko celino. Posebno ritični do te politike so bili v Španiji.
■noči je zvezni senat odobril kompromisni načrt za zvezni proračun — Podpredsednik Bush je moral glasovati za kompromis
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sinoči je zve-zni senat odobril republikanski načrt za zve-2ni proračun za fiskalno leto 1986. Glasova-je med senatorji samimi je bilo izenačeno, *ato je moral glasovati tudi podpredsednik e°rge Bush, ki je seveda podprl kompromi-sm načrt. Predsednik Reagan je tudi podpi-
ral kompromis.
Reagan je prispeval h kompromisni rei 1 s tem, da je pristal na zamrznitev izd °v za obrambne namene v 1. 1986. Izdat °do sicer višji, vendar le skladno z inflaci s 0 stopnjo. Republikanski senatorji pa : Popevali svoj delež s tem, da so pristali r poletno zamrznitev povišanja Social Secui Pokojnin. Te pokojnine so po zakonu pi p1 ,^ne letno v skladu z inflacijsko stopnji sjmodnje leto tega povišanja po sinočnje enatnem glasovanju ne bo. Seveda moi ompromis odobriti tudi predstavniški don aterem so v večini demokrati.
Ako bi bil končno uzakonjen, bi kon romisni načrt znižal pričakovani proračui dol Pf*manjkljaj v 1. 1986 za 56 milijar arJev. Glasovanje v senatu je bilo strog k® Partijski liniji. Tako je le nekaj republ 'ev glasovalo proti kompromisu, sam i ?P demokratski senator, Edward Zorinsk ebraske, je pa bil za.
Jutri začetek obiska papeža Janez Pavla II.
v Nizozemski — Prvi papeški obisk v zgodovini te dežele — Cerkev ima težave
AMSTERDAM, Ni. — Jutri bo prispel v to deželo papež Janez Pavel II. Gre za prvi papeški obisk v zgodovini Nizozemske. Katoličani predstavljajo 40 odstotkov vsega prebivalstva, večino imajo torej protestanti, ki pa znajo biti katoličanom nenaklonjeni. Katoliška Cerkev v Nizozemski je še vedno precej sprta, ker je veliko liberalcev, ki niso naklonjeni papeževemu gledanju na vlogo žensk v Cerkvi, splavu itd.
Na Nizozemskem je tudi več radikalnih skupin, ki so že napovedali demonstracije zoper papeža. Zaradi tega je nizozemska vlada angažirala kar tretjino vseh policistov v državi, da skrbijo za papeževo osebno varnost med obiskom. Janez Pavel II. bo v Nizozemski pet dni, obiskal bo sedem mest.
Včeraj so Sovjeti praznovali konec druge svetovne vojne v Evropi — Poudarek na sovjetske zasluge v vojni
MOSKVA, ZSSR — Včeraj je Sovjetska zveza slovesno praznovala 40-letnico konca druge svetovne vojne v Evropi z veliko vojaško parado na Rdečem trgu ter sprejemom v Kremlju. Zbrano na Leninovem mavzoleju pred Kremljem je bilo celotno sovjetsko vodstvo z Mihailom Gorbačovom na čelu. Slavnostni govornik je bil obrambni minister maršal Sergej Sokolov, ki je poudaril sovjetsko vlogo v vlogi in zanemaril vlogo zahodnih zaveznikov, čeprav je priznal, da so tudi ZDA, Anglija in druge države prispevale svoj delež h končni zmagi.
Zbrano na Rdečem trgu je bilo veliko veteranov vojne, ki so močno ploskali, ko so opazili orožje iz te vojne, predvsem tanke T-34 in rakete Katjuša. Zahodne vojaške atašeje pa je predvsem zanimalo prvo javno prikazovanje nekaj najnovejših sovjetskih raket in najnovejšega tanka, ki ga imajo sovjetske oborožene sile v svojem arzenalu.
Na sprejemu v Kremlju je govoril Gorbačov, ki je bil sicer kritičen do ZDA, poudaril pa je nujnost rednih stikov med velesilami in med državami sploh. Ameriški poslanik v ZSSR Arthur Hartman se ni udeležil slovesnosti na Rdečem trgu, prisoten pa je bil na sprejemu v Kremlju.
- Kratke vesti -
Washington, D.C. — Včeraj je predstavniški dom odobril resolucijo, ki zahteva odhod sovjetskega poslanika Anatolija Do-brinina, ako se ZSSR ne bo uradno opravičila za umor ameriškega majorja Nicholsona v Vzhodni Nemčiji marca meseca. Nicholsona je ustrelil sovjetski stražar na sovjetskem oporišču v NDR. Resolucija izraža mnenje spodnjega doma, nič pa ne obvezuje predsednika Reagana.
Peking, Ki. — Danes začnejo veljati obsežne podražitve za vse vrste hrane in drugih potrebščin. Podražitve so do 50% ali več. V Pekingu so se včeraj zbrali pred vsemi trgovinami kupci, ki so police dobesedno izpraznili.
Varšava, Polj. — Opazovalci poljskih
političnih razmer soglašajo, da je poljski režim začel z močno protiameriško kampanjo, ki je izraz nezadovoljstva z odklonilnim stališčem Reaganove administracije. Režim gen. Jaruzelskega je namreč pričakoval izboljšanje odnosov z ZDA potem, ko so bili izpuščeni politični zaporniki, vendar do tega ni prišlo.

Zakaj proslavljamo 3. maj 1945
(Epilog h proglasu o ustanovitvi slov. države)
Edini dogodek vreden po mnenju tega pisca proslave iz bližnje slovenske zgodovine izpred 40 let, je slovesno zasedanje začasnega slovenskega parlamenta v Ljubljani na dan 3. maja 1 945, na katerem je bila proglašena ustanovitev narodne države Slovenije. Narodno in zgodovinsko veliko vrednost tega zborovanja ugotavljamo v dejstvu, da so proglas Narodnega odbora za Slovenijo soglasno potrdili pred začetkom vojne svobodno izvoljeni predstavniki vseh slojev naroda iz vseh delov in pokrajin slovenske domovine (državni in lokalni poslanci, župani in drugi izvoljeni javni delavc), pripadniki vseh tedaj aktivnih demokratičnih strank (SLS, SDS, JSS).
Ta dejavnik se mora izrecno podčrtati zato, da se javno poudari resnica, da je bil proglas narodne države Slovenije izvršen po svobodni volji ogromne večine naroda. Radi tega ima svoj zgodovinski politični pomen brez ozira na to, ali je mogel ali ni mogel biti tudi praktično uresničen. Poudarek te resnice je potreben in važen z ozirom na stvarnost, da je neznatna skupina Slovencev, ki je zasegla vodstvo naroda ob koncu vojne, prišla na vlado z oboroženim nasiljem in prelivanjem krvi istega naroda, ki ni nikoli o tem svobodno odločal. Komunistična partija je samo sebe proglasila, brez slehernega mandata od strani večine naroda, za vodilno in edino oblast nad narodom; kdor se je temu povsem samovoljnemu, nasilnemu postopku upiral, je bil proglašen za narodnega izdajalca, vrednega samo krogle. Epopeja osvobodilnega boja je le lepo-tičje boja za oblast.
V	tem dejstvu je nespravljiva razlika med aktom z dne 3. maja 1945 in dejanskim razvojem dogodkov kak teden pozneje, ko so partizani z orožjem v roki vkorakali v Ljubljano in so Slovenijo proglasili za provinco stalinistične Sovjetske zveze.
Proklamacija narodne države dne 3. maja je pomenila izpolnitev čl. 1 Narodne izjave z dne 29. oktobra 1944, to je listine, ki se šteje med najvažnejše v zgodovini naroda in jo je na skrivnem podpisalo nad 300 najbolj odličnih Slovencev. Čl. 1 te listine se glasi: »(Zahtevamo) državnopravno združitev vsega slovenskega narodnega ozemlja v ZEDINJENO SLOVENIJO, ki mora biti v geografskem, gospodarskem, prometnem in strateškem oziru tako zaokrožena celota, da bosta zavarovana nemoteni narodni in gospodarski obstoj in razvoj slovenskega naroda.«
V	času podpisovanja Izjave meseca oktobra 1 944 je bil strateški načrt angleškega premierja Winstona Churchilla za vdor zahodnih vojaških enot skozi ljubljanska vrata v podonavsko kotlino zelo živa in akutna stvarnost, s katero je upravičeno mogla računati slovenska demokratska skupnost, združena v Narodnem odboru za Slovenijo, ustanovljenem z imenovano Izjavo. Churchillov načrt je bil takrat že zelo znana stvar, o kateri se je zlasti med Slovenci mnogo govorilo, ker bi bil situacijo v Sloveniji bistveno spremenil. Vedelo se je, da mu Stalin ostro nasprotuje, ker bi to zaprlo pot rdeči armadi na Jadran, a obstajalo je upravičeno upanje, da ga Amerikanci ne bodo preprečili, ker bi sovjetski prodor predaleč v osrčje demokratične
O koncertu, nekem loncu in grizlici
CLEVELAND, O. — Opazili ste verjetno oglas za letni nastop Korotana. Pevci in poslušalci se bodo zbrali 18. maja v Slovenskem narodnem domu za ta spomladanski koncert.
Valentin Vodnik je v program za prvi slovenski časopis zapisal, da Novice govore o takih rečeh, za katere se dobro ve, da so se res prigodile. Približno sledeč tej niti, je tukaj zbranih par misli, bolj ali manj tehtnih, okrog tega kulturnega dogodka. Njihov namen je vabilo na prireditev.
Vrsto let, ki se seštevajo v zadnja desetletja, je bil Korotan številčno najmočnejši slovenski zbor na celini pod baklo svobode. Po vesti iz našega tednika na srednjem zahodu, je letos to prvenstvo postalo vprašljivo. Cleveland ima še vedno najboljše pogoje za delovanje slovenskega zbora. Z dobro organizacijo in s precejšnjo mero ljubezni do pesmi in do materine besede je uspeh zagotovljen. Da so tudi drugje to dosegli, nam samo utrjuje upanje v smiselnost prizadevanja in žrtev, nakljub vsem padajočim zvezdam, ki jih lovimo ob dnevnem oglaševanju materializma.
Korotanov koncert sovpada z vsakoletnim pojavom borove grizlice, ki zdaj spomladi od vseh strani žre zlasti mlade borovce. Sama se ponuja primerjava te nadloge ob naši kulturni rasti in delu.
Naša dežela je topilni lonec in bo to ostala. Poleg vseh blagrov mora vsaka manjšina sprejeti tudi zakone, ki jih uravnava močnejša večina. Že od prvih slovenskih priseljencev semkaj, naši ljudje ob lomljenju kruha lomijo najprej tukajšnjo angleščino. Prej ali slej pa njihovi potomci obvladajo jezik dežele, pričnejo pa z lomljenjem in istočasno s postopnim opuščanjem slovenščine. Redki se prikopljejo celo do vplivnih služb, narodnostno pa ostanejo neaktivni.
Naš kulturni cekar je lep, mladim pa se v takem okolju le vzbuja občutek bremena, nerodnosti in starokopitnosti.
Brez zadostne domače vzpodbude in lepih zgledov krenejo za ideali, ki niso istovetni z našimi. Zapreke so vgrajene v sistem tukajšnje družbe. Nimamo dovolj ustvarjalnih moči in volje, da bi jih obšli ali prekoračili ter dosegli kar želimo. Lastnost močnih je imeti voljo, želja označuje našo šibkost.
Del naše stiske je tudi v tem, da sami sadov naše dediščine, pod silo razmer, ne jemljemo več vedno kot kruh, ampak (času primerno) kot mamilo.
K sreči ima Korotan še precej zvestih prijateljev med Belokranjci, Brici, Dolenjci, Gorenjci, Korošci, Notranjci, Prekmurci, Primorci, Prleki, Rezijani ter Štajerci. Krajevni leksikon Korotanovih pevcev res še ni izšel, vendar so zgoraj našteta verjetno vsa okoliška področja, odkoder zbor nabira pevce za svoje nastope, pa seveda tudi vso ostalo podporo za uspešnost in učinkovitost dela. Na lanskem koncertu sta glasova punčke in guvernante v prerekanju o kukavici na zeleni gori navdušila občinstvo, letos bodo navzoči lahko našli kaj drugega, da dajo duška svojim čustvom.
O sporedu, mislim, bodo pisali še drugi. Zase vem, da sem pred davnim vsaj eno pesem iz programa napačno doumel. Mulci nismo poznali besede sarafan in kraljevini S H S v oporo smo žingali:	Stara
mama oj ne šivaj »stara fana« več,... - otroški spodrsljaj o poteku življenja, ki ga skladba obravnava.
Zbor ni uglašen na proslavljanja materializma, pričakuje pa, da bo letos mogoče dobil v goste rojake z onkraj luže in potrebuje nekaj rezerve za tovrstne podvige. Podprimo z udeležbo na koncertu ta prizadevanja, ki tudi vsem nam pomagajo živeti. Saj ob uprizoritvi tega prazničnega pevskega večera doživimo ponovno par svetlih uric slovenstva. V tem je tudi poslanstvo Korotana.
F.K.
Evrope tudi njihovi svobodnjaški politiki ne bil v prid.
Ko smo podpisovali Izjavo, kjer se govori o Zedinjeni Sloveniji, kar je mogoče pojmovati le kot samostojno državo, so bili naši narodno politični računi oprti na pričakovano realizacijo Churchillovega načrta, čeravno se je vedelo, da je Anglež dvorezen politik, ki podpira partizane. A njegova vojaška politika glede Podonavja se je zde|a toliko stvarna in važna za celotno Evropo, da se ni moglo dvomiti v njeno izvedbo. Ko so zavezniške armade prodirale po italijanskem škornju proti severu, je bil proglas slovenske državnosti pripravljen, Narodni odbor je samo čakal na primerno priliko, da ga slovesno objavi. Stvar je bila zelo tvegana, saj je Slovenija bila pod neusmiljenim terorjem nemškega Gestapo, ki je streljal ljudi, druge pa pošiljal v taborišča smrti. Zato se je proklamacija odlašala, da bi bila nevarnost katastrofe čim manjša.
V prvih dneh maja 1945 je postalo jasno, da so Amerikanci ustregli Stalinovim agentom (med katerimi je bil najbrž tudi znani Louis Adamič): vojaški vdor od Jadranskega morja proti Donavi skozi Slovenijo so vetirali in je padel v vodo. Franklin D. Roosevelt je bolj zaupal Jožefu Stalinu kot zavezniškemu Winstonu Churchillu, kar se je pokazalo že v Jalti.
Kaj storiti v Ljubljani? Storilo se je, kakor nam pove nedavna zgodovina. A prpklamacija slovenske države — dasirav-no tačas in tudi Še danes brez možnosti uresničenja — je velepomemben državniški akt svobodnih ljudi, ki bo igral svojo važno vlogo, ko pride njegov čas. O tem naj se nihče ne vara.

Tukaj v Clevelandu sem srečal veliko plemenitih src. Najprej bi se rad zahvalil g. župniku J. Božnarju pri Sv. Vidu. Pri njem sva se z g. Žerjavom počutila kot doma. Z njegovo pomočjo sva srečala in spoznala mnogo dobrih ljudi. Vsakemu posebej bi se rad zahvalil, a ker je to nemogoče, bom omenil samo Rudija Kneza, ki je bil moj vzgojitelj pred 44 leti. Najlepša hvala vsem dobrim ljudem v Clevelandu. Bog Vam povrni za vse, prav

vse.
Skrb za našo novo cerkev sv. Cirila in Metoda me je privedla k vam. Pred jesenjo bi radi cerkev pokrili in zaprli in uredili najnujnejše stvari. Z vašo pomočjo bomo mogli del zgornjega uresničiti, za kar sem Vam izredno hvaležen!
Pred odhodom iz domovine mi je naš mariborski škof dr. Franc Kramberger med drugim pisal: »Po veliki noči boste obiskali vaše sobrate, rojake in znance v Ameriki in Kanadi. Tja vas vodi skrb za zidanje župnijske cerkve v Radencih. Pridružujem se vaši skrbi in vsem rojakom in znancem priporočam vašo zadevo. Razmere za zidanje pri nas niso ugodne. Hvaležen sem vsem dobrotnikom, ki vam pomagajo. Prosim vas, da jim posredujete moj pozdrav in blagoslov ter iskreno zahvalo za vsak najmanjši dar.«
Izrabim to priliko, da po Ameriški Domovini posredujem vsem slovenskim rojakom in dobrotnikom pozdrav, blagoslov in zahvalo našega g. škofa. Ta zahvala, pozdrav in blagoslov naj še posebej velja vsem rojakom, s katerimi sem se osebno srečal v Fairfieldu in Clevelandu, in vsem tistim, ki so prispevali za gradnjo cerkve

vabi na svoj
v Radencih, a se nismo osebno srečali. Prav tako naj velja zahvala, blagoslov in pozdrav tudi za vse tiste, s katerimi se bom srečal v Chicagu, Hamiltonu, Torontu in morda še kje drugje.
Lahko si mislite, kako težko je v stari domovini v sedanji gospodarski krizi graditi cerkev. Vendar zaupam v božjo pomoč. Bog je bogat. Pri njem ni gospodarske krize. Bog je bogat po dobrih ljudeh, zato zaupam tudi v dobre ljudi. Tako je delal don Boško. Zgradil je veliko cerkva in vzgojnih zavodov, čeprav je moral beračiti. Tolažil se je z mislijo, da je njegova blagajničarka Marija Pomočnica. Tako sem tudi jaz prepričan, da si hočeta sv. Ciril in Metod in Marija Pomočnica - Zdravje bolnikov v Radencih zgraditi cerkev.
Vsem vam, dragi slovenski rojaki, obljubljam molitveni spomin. Mnogi naši farani bi radi denarno pomagali, pa ne morejo, zato pa za dobrotnike molijo. Vsak dan pred mašo molijo rožni venec za dobrotnike in vsako soboto se zanje daruje posebna sv. maša.
Ko boste obiskali svojo staro domovino, ne pozabite priti v zdravilišče Radenci. Z veseljem vas bomo sprejeli in vam pokazali našo novo cerkev, v kateri imate tudi vi svoj delež.
Kakor vse Slovence po svetu povezujeta vera in kultura, ki sta jo našim prednikom posredovala sv. brata Ciril in Metod, tako naj nas povezuje cerkev sv. Cirila in Metoda v Radencih!

Videotaping, fingerprinting of children at St. Vitus
Responding to a national call for action to combat child abductions and abuse, communities all over America are sponsoring free videotaping and fingerprinting programs. In an effort to provide readily accessible data to law enforcement agencies and news media m case of a child’s disappearance, groups of concerned citizens are taking concrete steps tctwafd achieving this goal.
Cleveland attorney Gus Granges is sponsoring and °fganizing fingerprinting and videotaping at St. Vitus Auditorium on Saturday, May
18 from Noon until 4:00 p.m.
—-——
brangos says, “The fingerprinting and videotaping program has two primary goals: to make identifying information available for tracking abducted children; and to discourage kidnappers.
Any interested persons are welcome to attend, and all children will be fingerprinted, and videotaped speaking to the camera, absolutely free of charge. The tapes, and other identifying information such as relatives names and addresses, lists of identifying marks, etc. will be placed in a safe deposit box for permanent storage.

She has also presented numerous lectures on Slovenian history, literature, folk arts and folklore.
Eda Pusl displays Slovenian folk arts at Euclid High
Euclid High’s Multicultural Festival on Wednesday, April 24 drew an overwhelming interest from its students. The theme of the festival was, “One cannot love his neighbor unless he is aware of his neighbor.”
Among displays of various nationalities was a one of Slovenian folk arts and crafts presented by Eda Vovk Pusl.
Eda Vovk Pusl, the founder and artistic director of the
Having a display at Euclid High was a sort of a homecoming for Eda, who has taught courses in Slovenian language there in 1972.
“It impressed me that so many students came forward and unabashedly professed they are Slovenians, even though their names did not even sound Slovenian,” Eda said. She spent a busy day answering eager questions. “Many students were able to identify displayed artifacts with the ones in their homes.”
Especially impressed with Eda’s display was the faculty who invited her back to present a series of lectures on Slovenian heritage, folklore and traditional folk arts.
Mayor Giunta speaks at Euclid Pensioners Meeting
The Slovenian Pensioners Club of Euclid held its regular monthly meeting on Wed., May 1 at the Slovenian Society Home on Recher Ave.
Before the business meeting, Mayor Tony Giunta of Euclid spoke to the members and invited them to ride the new bus rail from Cleveland to Mentor and on to Painesville. Then he urged the members to help Euclid maintain its good school system by voting for Issue No. 9 on May 7. Superintendent Husarik of the Euclid school system also spoke about the need to keep the excellent standards of the schools.
Our main • speaker Bill Nichols, a sportswriter with the Plain Dealer since 1965, related stories and legends about football, baseball, basketball, and soccer. A question and answer period followed his talk. He complimented the ladies by saying they asked better questions than the men.
At our next meeting on June 5, Mr. Dugan of the Plain Dealer will speak to us about the art of cartoon drawing and will demonstrate his skill in the field. Should be fun.
Ann Mrak reminded the members about the Cleveland trip on May 15 to visit the Not* tingham Filtration Plant, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Cleveland Health Museum, ending the day with dinner at Sterle’s. A new trip is on the agenda to Battle Creek, Michigan, to tour the Kellogg Plant. Included will be a luncheon at Knap’s Restaurant.
A moment of silence was observed in memory of the following members who pass-

St. Clair Pensioners Have Successful Dinner, Social
April 21 the date of our Annual Dinner and Social is now history. It was another successful event. Our sincere thanks to our many loyal friends and members who made it possible. By your comments, we know that you were not disappointed.
The food, prepared by Loj-ska Fegus and her staff was again “delicious and plentiful.” Enjoyable music was provided by Pete Srnick throughout the afternoon. Many prizes were distributed.
To our members, thanks for your generous response with the delicious pastry for dessert, and for the many donations for the social drawing. Thanks to the men and ladies who dispensed and served the liquid refreshments; and also to the ladies who made our social drawing a success. A special thank you to our cook, Lojska, and to those who so generously and ably helped in various ways in the kitchen, and in the dispensing of the food.
Due to sickness or other reasons, regrettably, some of our members were unable to attend our dinner this year. We missed you all.
However, some of our incapacitated members called and requested home delivery of dinners. Our member Anton Žakelj volunteered his services and made the deliveries. The
following day, one merober called to express his apPreCia tion. Mr. Žakelj, we than you for your kind deed.

Korotan Concert May 18
May 18, May 18. It seems to be a date easily forgotten, so check your calender, circle the day, and engrave it on your heart and memory forever.
What is May 18, besides a Saturday, you ask. It is the social, not to mention cultural event of the year and possibly even the decade.
At 7:30 p.m. the Slovenian singing group Korotan is presenting its annual spring concert at the Slovenian National Home, 6417 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland. Music for the dance following the concert will be by the Alpine Sextet.
Korotan is an organization
well known in not only the Cleveland area, but also in Chicago, Canada and Europe. The extensive history of Korotan’s successes, including the most recent February concert in Chicago as guest of
Slovenska Pesem, is too lengthy to mention in any great detail. Suffice it to say the group has built for itself a reputation throughout the world that few have equalled and virtually none have sur-
passed.
The beauty of the Slovenian language can be experienced in its full splendor as this group of 48 singers, born both in Slovenia and America, contribute not only perfect har-
mony, but their hearts and souls to each note.
Tickets are $4.00 and may be purchased in advance froin group members or at the door on the night of the concert.

earlier. Because the weather was ideal, the trip was enjoyable and ever so interesting.
In the early morning of the fifth day we had our first glimpse of the magnificent New York skyline. Next we passed the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in New York harbor with admiration and due respect, because father explained to us its historical significance.
After the Olympic docked, the 3rd class passengers were taken by a smaller boat to Ellis Island for inspection. The judge looked at mother, who was, by the way, six months pregnant, then sort of approvingly at father and smilingly at the brood of five healthy children, signed the papers and we were in record time admitted to be legal residents of the U.S.A. We were taken with others to the railroad station and arrived at our destination, Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 24, 1912.
This was indeed a great adventure, accompanied by anxiety and a bit of fear, but coupled also with hope and anticipation for a better life in the future, than we could have expected, as we used to say in the “old country.” There were 13 children in the family, five died in infancy or early childhood and eight are still living. I believe that I can safely declare for all those alive, that our expectations have
been fully realized. None ot us struck it rich, but we are a comfortably situated an thankful to our parents ° having brought us to t ' country where freedom un 6 a democratic government sti prevails.

Dan’s Diary
By Dan J. Postotnik	^
Congratulations to the three from this earth recently, Slovenian priests who have within a matter of weeks, celebrated their Golden Also> three widows from
Jubilees recently. Two of them, Msgr. Louis Baznik and Rev. Joseph Celesnik, are sons of St. Vitus Parish, while the third, Rev. Max Sodja, is from St. Mary Parish, Collinwood, O. All three celebrated their first Masses on April 28, 1935. We wish you good health and happiness for many more years.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the well known Prijatel and Azman families of St. Clair Ave. Both Mrs. Mary Prijatel, and her daughter, Marie Azman were called
Schaefer Ave. were beckoned not long ago to their eternal reward. They are Mrs. Cevka, Mrs. Markolia, and Mrs. Bogovich. We also lost another faithful parishioner, who did much for St. Vitus through the Catholic War Vets and other organizations. He was Ed Ljubi of Bliss Ave., and E. 76th. St. Ed had to carry a very heavy cross, healthwise, much heavier than most of us. May the Lord, therefore, grant him a lofty place in His kingdom. To the families of all our recently deceased, we offer our deepest
