razmišlja o možni kandidaturi
CLEVELAND, O. — Robert Hughes, načelnik republikanske stranke v okraju Cuyahoga, v katerega spada tudi Cleveland, je sporočil, da mu je telefoniral tesen sodelavec predsednika Geralda R. Forda in ga spraševal o tem, kaj misli o Fordovih možnostih, ako bi le-ta zopet napovedal svojo kandidaturo za mesto predsednika ZDA.
Pred tedni je Hughes pisal Fordu in ga vprašal, ali misli postati republikanski predsedniški kandidat letos ali ne. Pred dvema tednoma je Ford odgovoril pismeno in rekel, da hoče najprej videti, kako se bodo izkazali med volivci drugi že aktivni republikanski kandidati.
Primarne volitve v državi New Hampshire pretekli torek so dale Ronaldu Reaganu zanesljivo zmago. Mnogi zmernejši republikanci so v skrbeh zaradi tega, ker mislijo, da utegne Reaganova o-stra konservativnost njemu in republikanski stranki onemogočiti vsako možnost zmage nad predsednkom Carterjem na predsedniških volitvah, ki bodo 4. novembra letos.
Pritisk na Geralda Forda j naj postane aktivni predsedniški kandidat, se je močno povečal v zadnjih dneh. Njegovi podporniki trdijo, da predstavlja Ford zmernejše strujo v stranki in da bi ga podprlo veliko volivcev, ki ne bi nikoli glasovali za Ronalda Reagana.
Fordovi prijatelji pravijo, da je Fordu zelo ugajalo doba bivanja v Beli hiši in da bi se prav rad vrnil tja. Njegova žena Betty je bolj zadržana glede tega, odločil se bo pa Ford sam. Njegovi prijatelji dodajajo, da Ford zelo sovraži Ronalda Reagana zaradi njegovega o b n a š anja pred štirimi leti, ko sta se oba potegovala za imenovanje kot predsedniškega kandidata stranke proti Jimmy-ju Carterju. Prav rad bi se maščeval nad Reaganom letos.

•	Teheran, Iran. — Poročila iz tega mesta trdijo, da je preiskovalna komisija ZN o-biskala ameriško veleposlaništvo in se srečala z ujetimi talci. Ob tem pisanju so tc vesti še nepotrjene.
•	Washington, D.C. — Zvezna vlada je sporočila, da je velika večina avtomobilov, izdelanih v ZDA ali uvoženih iz tujine, nevarna potnikom, ako pride do čelnega trčenja s hitrostjo 35 milj na uro. Najboljši avtomobili v tem smislu so Chrysler Horizon, Cordoba in ilagnum, Ford Mustang in Chevrolet Citation,

JERUZALEM, Izr. — Med ameriškimi črnci obstaja verska sekta, katere pripadniki smatrajo, da so potomci starodavnih hebrejskih plemen. Nadalje verjamejo ti ljudje, da je današnji Izrael njihova resnična domovina ter da so vsi torej enaopravni državljani te države.
Pred desetimi leti so začeli prihajati ti “črnski Judje” v Izrael in jih je sedaj tam preko 1400. Izraelske oblasti ne priznavajo te črnce kot prave Jude in jim niso nikoli dovolili nobenih državljanskih pravic. Zaradi tega živijo ti črnci v Izraelu protizakonito kljub temu, da jih doslej Izraelci niso skušali izgnati iz države. Na letališčih in pristaniščih pa pazijo cariniki, da ne prihajajo novi “naseljenci'’ te vrste.
Zadeva je silno neprijetna za Izrael, ker se zanimajo za usodo teh črncev tudi ameriški Judje. Voditelji ameriških črnskih organizacij so posebno ogorčeni nad stališčem Izraela do teh črncev. Eni in drugi stavljajo vprašanje, zakaj ne morejo ti črnci postati državljani Izraela? Ali je Izrael rastistična država o-ziroma družba itd.?
Pred. dnevi je imel ministrski predsednik Menahem Begin sestanek s skupino ameriških Judov. Nekdo med njimi je vprašal Begina med pogovorom, kaj vendar misli storiti za te črnce? Begin je odgovoril, da jim bodo ponudili državljanstvo. S tem odgovorom so bili Amerikanci zadovoljni.
Nekaj ur kasneje je pa Be-ginov tiskovni predstavnik Dan Patir podal posebno izjavo, v kateri je rekel, da v resnici Begin ni mislil na. dt-
CELOVEC, Avstr. — Podružnico v Šentlovrencu so sklenili restavrirati.. Eno od prvih dejanj je bilo to, da so slovenski napis “Bog jim daj večni mir in pokoj” nad vrati v pokopališče odstranili. Pa še kako: namesto da bi ga mordg prebelili, če bi že hoteli “ o 1 e p sa ti” pokopališki zid, — ne: slovenski napis so z nemško temeljitostjo popraskali doli, pobelili pa nič, tako da še danes grde luknje v sicer še dobro ohranjeni belini pričajo o tem edinstvenem aktu vandalizma — vse to pod očmi deželnega kon -zervatorja za Koroško. Samo da je slovenski napis bil odstranjen, pa je restavracije bilo dovolj. Restavrirali pa «o tudi notranjost cerkve. Pri tem so odkrili, da so v prezbiteriju pod ometom menda poznogotske freske, ki bi jih bilo treba spet spraviti na dan. Postopek odstranjevanja številnih plasti ometa in večkratnega pobeljenja je na splošno zelo komplicirana, zelo draga in zelo riskantna zadeva. Kajti nikoli od vsega začetka ni jasno, v kakšnem stanju bodo freske, koliko in na katerih mestih bodo manjkali važni deli fresk. Sploh od vsega začetka ni možno u-goto\4ti, kakšne vrednosti bo-

TEHERAN, Iran. — Dobi o obveščeni politični opazovalci v ZN ugibajo, da je v Iranu huda politična bitka med skrajneži-študenti in muslimanskimi nestrpneži na eni strani ter zmernejšo strujo pred sednika Bani-Sadra na drugi.
Kmalu po njegovi izvolitvi za predsednika Irana z gromno večino je začel Bani-Sadr govoriti o potrebi, da mora biti v Iranu le ena zakonita vlada. Študentom v a-meriškem poslaništvu je očital, da predstavljajo vzporedno vlado in da tako stanje ni sprejemljivo v državi.
Nekaj časa je ajatola Homeini podpiral novega predsednika, v zadnjih dveh tednih je pa bil 79-letni vodite'j bolj naklonjen študentom, posebno glede izpustitve talcev in izročitve šaha Pahle-vija. Zagovornik trd n ejše struje med vidnimi iranskimi voditelji je tajnik vodilnega revolucionarnega sveta ajatola Behešti.
Zavedajoč se svojega kočljivega položaja, Bani-Sadr govori v javnosti z istim tonom, kot ga rabijo skrajneži. V resnici pa, vsaj1 tako menijo zaupni viri v ZN, hoče Bani-Sadr dokončno rešiti problem talcev in napraviti konec vzporedni vladi študente v-skraj nežev.
Ker je sedanje stanje nevzdržno za obe stranki, pričakujejo opazovalci, da bo prišlo do odločilnega obračunal naslednjih dneh.
žavljanstvo za omenjene črnce, marveč na nekak izjemen status.
do te umetnine.
Za k o r o š k ega deželnega konservatorja dr. Hartwag-nerja je bilo od vsega začetka jasno: slika sv. Urbana in sv. Lovrenca iz 19. stoletja z napisom v slovenščini je umetniško nepomembna, zato jo je treba žrtvovati, samo da bodo prišle na dan poznogotske freske pod njo. Le-te so po mnenju koroškega deželnega konservatorja umetniško pomembne. Vse to je pisal Hartwagner farnemu u-radu v Šenttomažu, ne da bi navedel besede utemeljitve za svoje vrednotenje, kaj še, da bi se posluževal znanstvene terminologije ali celo znanstveno utemeljil svoj namen.
Odstranitev slove nskega napisa bi celo smela požreti lepo vsoto denarja, ki ga 'e Hartwagner v imenu zveznega urada za spomenike tudi zagotovil.
Slovenski verniki v fari so se uprli proti načrtu uničevanja teh zgodovinskih in u-metniških vrednot. Ustmeno in pismeno so se obrnili na župnega upravitelja, naj stori vse. da bi se preprečila odstranitev slike s slovenskim napisom, ki jo je leta 1309 naslikal Jakob Brollo.

V pismu je rečeno, da so gotske freske v cerkvi proste v obsegu, ki zadostuje za u-metniško dokumentacijo. Ce bi nadaljevali z odkrivanjem in s tem uničili sliko s slovenskim napisom (“Za tri dni boš za menoj prišel”), bi to bilo nesmiselno dejanje, ki ga je mogoče imenovati le napad na zgodovinsko identiteto slovenskih faranov.
Dr. Katja Sturm-Schnabl, ki je napisala to pismo, nadaljuje: “Umetnostna zgbdovi-vina kot znanost je danes zdavnaj že tako daleč, da ne uničuje na slepo novejše namesto ‘starejše’ umetnine Saj je treba ohraniti tudi zgodovinsko nepretrgan razvoj, kontinuiteto.. Danes vsak m-sen znanstvenik ne le obžaluje tistih časov, ko so klasični arheologi na slepo uničevali zelo dragocene bizantinske vrednote, samo da bi spravili na dan ‘starejše’, klasične spomenike, temveč znanstvu • niki smatrajo tako postopanje kot. brutalen vandalizem. — V tem primeru pa gre dodatno za poskus, da bi uničili identiteto, značilnost tistih faranov, ki še danes hočejo ostati Slovenci, ki se še danes upajo biti Slovenci, in ki so zvesti svojemu materinemu jeziku in kulturi.”
BOGOTA, Kol. — Skupina 12 oboroženih gverilcev je vdrla v prostore veleposlaništva Dominikanske republike v tem mestu in ga jdo krajšem spopadu tudi zasedla. Gverilci pripadajo podtalni organizaciji “M-19”. Poznavalci kolumbijskih političnih razmer pritrjujejo, da je skupina teroristov, zbrana v vrstah M-19, najbolj aktivna in skrajna med vsemi sličnimi organizacijami v tej državi.
Do zasedbe veleposlaništva je prišlo med sprejemom, ki ga je priredil ‘poslanik Dominikanske republike. Zaradi tega je bilo zbranih v poslaništvu večje število tujih diplomatov, med njimi tudi a-meriški veleposlanik Diego C. Asencio ter najmanj 15 drugih veleposlanikov. Vsega skupaj računajo oblasti v Bogoti, zadržujejo gverilci o-koli 45 talcev.
Med napadom je bilo več streljanja in nek predstavnik gverilcev, ki je govoril z novinarjem po telefonu, je sporočil, da so bili ranjeni paragvajski diplomat, en gverilec ter neka druga oseba, smrtnih žrtev pa ni bilo. Očividci napada pa pravijo, da je bilo najmanj 7 oseb ranjenih, vključivši osebni stražar a-meriškega poslanika.
Voditelj gverilske skupine, ki se imenuje “komandant št. 1”, je prebral vrsto zahtev, ki jih stavljajo gverilci kot pogoje za izpustitev zajetih talcev. Kolumbijska vlada naj bi najprej izpustila na svobodo vse politične zapornike v državi in ne samo tistih, ki pripadajo M-19. Nadalje mora
Ob koncu opozarja dr. Katja Sturm-Schnabl, da bo našla sredstva in poti, da bo informirala o tem tudi sv. o-četa, ki sam dobro ve, kaj pomeni narodno in versko zatiranje in ki bo znal dobro doumeti, za kaj gre določenim ljudem pri uničevanju slovenskih napisov. Temu mnenju se je pridružil tudi šeč avstrijskega spomeniškega u-rada in Plartwagnerjev predstojnik dr. Thalhammer, ki ga je- zastopnik NT vprašal na tiskovni konferenci, kako je s takimi umetninami.
Kmet Anton Sturm iz Svin-če vasi, ki se prav tako bori za ohranitev, slovenskega napisa, je zabeležil delen uspeh: slika za napisom je ostala c-hranjena. Glede umetniške vrednosti fresk, ki so jih spravi'i na dan, pa gredo _ mnenja prav tako narazen. Sedaj se bo obrnil na deželnega konservatorja, da bodo restavrirali tudi napis nad vrati na pokopališče, da bo vsakogar sprejel “Bog jim daj večni mir in pokoj!” Thalhammer: “P r e d n o st ima tista umetnina, ki je na vrhu.” Koroški Hartwagner, ki je sam bi navzoč, je moi-r,*d k izvajanjem svojega predstojnika.

plačati Kolumbija “globo” M-19, in to v znesku 50 milijonov dolarjev. Končno zahtevajo gverilci, da bi jim zagotovile kolumbijske oblasti varen odhod v tujino. Ako sprejmejo oblasti v Kolumbiji vse te zahteve brezpogojno in jih tudi izvršijo brez kakršne koli prevare ali ukane, potem bodo gverilci izpustili vse talce.
“Naš namen je,‘ zmagati ali umreti,” pravijo gverlci. “Hočemo povedati svetu o zločinih in mučenjih, ki se dogajajo v Kolumbiji.” Nadalje so sporočili tujim novinarjem preko telefonskih zvez, da so pripravljeni čakati v poslaništvu skupaj s talci toliko časa, da dosežejo vse svoje zahteve.
Stališče vlade
Kolumbijska vlada je pokazala omejeno pripravljenost, pogajati se z gverilci. Takoj po zasedbi poslaništva je poslala okoli 500 policajev in vojakov, ki so obkolili poslopje in preprečili, da bi prišli bliže novinarji in navadni kolumbijski državljani. Gverilci v poslaništvu so opazili premike močno oboroženih policijskih in vojaških enot ter začeli groziti, da bodo pobili takoj vse talce, ako bodo skušale oblasti vdreti v poslopje ;in rešiti talce z uporabo sile. Predstavnik vlade je rekel; da vlada nima takega načrta.
Opazovalci v Bogoti pripominjajo, da so pripadniki M-19 prekaljeni borci-terori-sti in da so pripravljeni žrtvovati svoja življenja in življenja talcev v prid svojih namenov. Takšnega pokola se bo kolumbijska vlada hotela izogniti za vsako ceno.
Edina resna težava, ki lahko nastane v tako silno napetih razmerah, je, da če se ne bi kolumbijski varnostni organi ravnali po navodilih vlade.

V Švici so izgnali jugoslovanskega diplomata
BERN, Šv. — Švicarsko tajništvo za pravosodje in policijo je snoročilo. da je bil izgnan iz države lani oktobra jugoslovanski diplomat, ki je skušal pridobivati za vohunjenje Jugoslovane, ki delajo v tej državi. Namen teh vohunov bi bil, vohuniti druge Jugoslovane v Švici.
Jugoslovanski diplomat je res našel pet Jugoslovanov, ki so bili pripravljeni za tako službo. Vmes so pa posegle švicarske policijske oblasti in vseh pet priprle. Predvidevajo, da bodo cmenjeni Jugoslovani predani sodišču.
Izgnanemu diplomatu so švicarske oblasti odvzele pravico, vrniti se v Švico. Obenem so švicarske oblasti o-pozorile vse dinlomate in tuje državljane bmajo^e v šv;-ei. naj se ne spuščajo v protizakonita dejanja.

Stvarnost Slovencev v Italiji
Beseda iz naroda...
n.
Jasno je, da so taki predlogi nesprejemljivi in da je treba tako restriktivno tolmačenje odbiti in zahtevan edino sprejemljivo interpretacijo, da smo Slovenci v Italiji enaki, ne glede na provinco, v kateri prebivamo, in da morajo veljati enaki zakonski prepisi za celotno ozemlje, na katerem živimo.
Med drugim je notranje ministrstvo poslalo omenjem; osnutek deželni vladi, ne da bi o tem seznanilo člane posebne komisije, ki jo je predsedstvo vlade imenovalo, da izdela predlog za globalni zaščitni zakon.
To je bil poleg sestave komisije same z absolutno večino italijanskih članov, očiten znak o namenih vlade glede delovanja komisije same,,
To se je kasneje tudi uresničilo, saj je prišlo med stalnim zavlačevanjem do dveh osnutkov, kB sta si v marsičem nasprotna. Osnutek italijanskih članov komisije je zelo omejevalen in ne priznava niti tega, kar že uživamo. Jasno je, da slovenski člani komisije niso mogli sprejeti takega tolmačenja in so zato izdali svoj dokument, ki izraža realne zahteve naše skupnosti.
Ob dveh tako različnih in razhajajočih se dokumentih je bilo takoj očitno, da je komisija zašla v slepo ulico in ni bilo možno nadaljevati z delom. Zato so slov e n s k i . predstavniki zahtevali, naj se zadeva razčisti na politični ravni s predsednikom vlade.
Pred kratkim je res prišlo do srečanja med enotno slovensko delegacijo in predsednikom vlade Cossigo. Delegacija je zahtevala, naj se dela komisije praktično smatrajo za zaključena in naj vlada izdela svoj predlog. Še letos naj se tudi v parlamentu izglasuje globalni zaščitni zakon za Slovence v Furlaniji-Julijski krajini.
Odgovor predsednika vlade ni povsem zadovoljiv, saj je obljubil samo, da bo vlada izdelala svoj predlog pred zapadem roka komisije, to je do 30. junija letos, ni’se pa hotel izreči glede roka izglasovanja zaščitnega zakona. Obljubil je tudi, da bo v okviru komisije delovala delovna skupina, ki bo sestavljena v paritetnem razmerju med slovenskimi in italijanskimi člani komisije. Ta delovna skupina ima nalogo, da nadaljuje delo komisije in izdela predloge za nadaljnje vladne ukrepe.
Glede rimske komisije smo od vsega začetka izrazili svoje nezadovoljstvo glede članov komisije, ki so v "veliki večini Italijani. Slovencev je
od skupnih 20 samo pet, in še od teh so trije samo naključ-no./	x
Svet slovenskih organizacij je takrat poslal ministrskemu predsedniku Andreottiju pismeno noto, v kateri zahteva, naj v komisijo imenuje vlada tudi zastopnika naše organizacije, in to v skladu z zahtevami slovenske delegacije, ki smo jih postavili ob obisku pri Andreottiju .avgusta 1977, ko smo zahtevali imenovanje komisije. Na našo zahtevo nismo prejeli pozitivnega odgovora.
Na zadnjem obisku pri predsedniku vlade Cossigi smo ponovno sprožili to vprašanje in lahko ugotovili pripravljenost predsednika, /da imenuje v komisijo tudi našega predstavnika. To, bi seveda pomenilo še dodatno zavlačevanje dela' komisije in smo zaradi tega odstopili od te zahteve, ker smo hoteli, da ta komisija čimprej zaklju.i svoje poslanstvo.
Predsednik vlade je pri tem obljubil, da bo vlada upoštevala tudi predloge nezastopa-nih organizacij »in predstavnikov kulturnih društev videm-ske pokrajine.
V rimskih krogih, kar j c tudi razumljivo, smo naleteli na večje razumevanje in pripravljenost kot na krajevni ravni.
Če v vseh povojnih letih še nismo prišli do zaželenih zaščitnih ..norm, je treba iskaii odgovora v okviru naše dežele. Politične stranke in v prvi vrsti najmočnejše, niso še po-^ kazale prave politične volje do konkretne rešitve naših problemov. Vedno ostajamo pri nekaterih splošnih izjavah, tudi zelo pozitivnih, ki pa ne zadobijo praktične u-resničitve.
Če bi bila vloga naše deželne uprave in tudi drugih krajevnih uprav'bolj aktivna na tem področju, bi se gotovo izognili marsikateremu negativnemu pojavu, ki tako zaskrbljujoče prihaja zadnje čase na dan. Vsako zavlačevanje in obotavljanje reševanja naših problemov prispeva h krepitvi tistih sil, ki so nam nasprotne in k ustvarjanju napetosti in negotovosti tudi v vrstah naših ljudi.
V okvir prizadevanj za a-trditev položaja naše skupnosti sodi tudi srečanje slovenske delegacije s predsednikom izvršnega sveta SR Slovenije novembra lani v Gorici in obisk iste delegacije leto prej v Ljubljani. Slovenska delegacija se je sestala- tudi s predstavniki hrvaškega Sabora.

Pismo z Otoka
:	.	t, - /	■
LONDON, Vel. Brit. — Že zopet par vrstic o slovenskem življenju1 tu na Otoku. V nedeljo, 2. decembra lani, je bu po večerni maši ob 5. uri popoldne v kapeli našega doma sv. Miklavž. -Miklavže vanj e je bilo v prostorih Doma in je prišlo k tej, lepi. slovenski mladinski proslavi z otroci vred kar 82 rojakov iz Londona in okolice. Miklavž je bil zelo darežljiv za vse in je bil res zelo lep, prijeten domač večer.
Miklavž jt? prišel same v spremstvu dveh ljubkih angelov, parkelj na je pa pustil nekje zunaj. Nek naš očanec iz žužemberskega kota je rekel: “Ko je Miklavž odhajal z Gorjancev proti Londona, sta ga v Novem mestu verjetno srečala Windisar in Štern-bur in ga nista pustila naprej.” Mož je ta dva velika originala Novega mesta dobro poznal. Po končani prireditvi pri kozarčku vinčka in potice je bilo veliko smeha in dobre volje na ta račun.
Božič je bil prav lep in mi-; rcn. Tudi vreme ves advem je bilo izredno lepo. G. župnik je vse sobote in nedelje v adventu obiskal vse rojake tu po naselbinah in' vse lepo pripravil na prihod- Kristusov. Na sveti večer ob 6. uri je bila v Bedfordu v cerkvi sv. Jožefa slovesna slovenska božična maša, katere se je u-deležilo nad 100 naših ljudi. Še večje število je bilo pri to; maši domačinov-A n g l e žev, kateri so prišli poslušat naše petje.
Opolnoči je bila sv. maša v. Londonu v naši kapeli. Na Štefanovo ob 3. uri popoldne je bila slovesna slovenska božična maša v Rochdalah v kapeli šolskih sester, katere radevolje našim ljudem ib sleherni naši proslavi prav rade odstopijo cerkev in dvorano. Tudi tam se je zbralo 100 naših rojakov, 'živečih na severu Otoka. Ganljivo so odmevale naše lepe stare božične pesmi.
Na splošno so tu zelo lepo praznovale Božič vse krščanske veroizpovedi. Cerkve so bile nabito polne vernega na-

poda in skoraj vsi v dneh Božiča 90% pristopili k angelski mizi. Seveda so bili tudi obratni žalostni' slučaji," kot povsod v velemestih.
Na božično jutro so vile rojenice družini dr. Jančarja Jožeta ml. in ge. Slavke roj. Brecelj prinesle krepkega sina Jožeta-Pavla. Obilo zdravja in veselja ter blagoslova božjega novorojencu vso pot življenja! G. dr. prof. Jože Jančar in njegova soproga Micka sta postala že drugič stari oče in stara mama. Štirideset dni po rojstvu, na Svečnico, je bil v cerkvi sv. Venefrija krst malega Pavel-čka_Jn stari ata g. primarij Jože, ves srečen in vesel, je rekel:	“Pa je zopet en nov
Slovenec-Dolenjec rojen — ves božji žegen naj bo z njim vse dni življenja!” in mu naredil križ na čelo, fantek pa / je mirno spal v naročju srečne mamice.
Tragična smrt
Novo leto nam je prineslo precej skrbi in pogled v bodočnost, katera nam trenutno nič dobrega ne. obeta, pa n-pajmo, da ne bo nič hudega,-saj Bog še vedno vodi in vlada svet. Dne 25. januarja,; na praznik. sv. Pavla, je v. lastni, hiši v' mali vasici Rodingtob, blizu W 91 verha m p (o na ob 6, uri zjutraj zgorel 55-letni rojak Anion GJiha — doma iz Dečje vasi pri Trebnjem. Pokojni Tone je bil poročen, z neko bolniško sestro, Irko po rodu, in je bil zapioslen v rudnikih v Canocku.
Leta 1968 ga je doletela pri dela nesreča, mu zlomilo hrbet in postal je siromak ---100'< invalid. Z Žano sta si o-mišlila lep domek-bungalov in živela lepo v miru. Tisto usodno jutro je začelo v hiši goreti, žena Susan ga je skušala izvleči iz hiše, a ker je bil Tone težak in neokreten za umik, je dobila pri reševanju težke opekline, mož se je pa zadušil v dimu in plamenih.
Prišli so takoj na pomoč sosedje, gasilci, policija, am-bulanca, .a ubogi Tone je- bil že mrtev, ženo so pa odpeljali v bolnico. Vzrok požara je še neznan. Naj naš dobri rojak počiva v 'miru na tujih tleh! Ženi in njegovim domačim na Dolenjskem pa naše iskreno sožalje.
Vreme vsaj do danes, sreči i svečana, je prav lepo. Na Šentjanževo, dne 28. decembra, je začelo močno deževati' in dež je padal v več krajih kar 24 ur brez prestanka. Temu so sledile vejike poplave in v več predelih v nižinah je bilo več mest pod vodo do 30 cm globine ter je bilo precej škode. Na Škotskem so istočasno'čutili močan potresni sunek. Bilo je precej panike, toda hvala Bogu ni dosii gmotne škode. •
Štrajki se kopičijo
Tu je že par let dežela nepotrebnih štrajkov. Ko !se eni ^ umirijo, začnejo zopet drugi. Sedaj že 5 tednov prvič po 50 letih stavkajo jeklarji. Podjetja nudijo kar dobro povi-šico, toda razni kričači v sindikatih kar naprej rovarijo v lastno škodo. Zaradi moderne tehnike so primorani odpustiti več delovnih moči. Britanska jeklarska industrija že nad 6 mesecev izkazuje dnevno 1 mili j oh funtov izgube in razumljivo je, da. vlada' ne more kriti te ogrom ne izgube ž davki.
Vse kriči v znamenju demokracije, pa ravno ti kričači so največji anarhisti in ego-
isti. Privatna podjetja pa kljub povišici izkazujejo dobičke in tudi dobro plačajo poštene, pridne roke. Nemci, Francozi, Japonci si pa ma-nejo roke na ta račun. Enkrat bo že stavkarje srečala pamet.
Članek dr. Velikonje
G. prof. Jože Velikonja v novembrski številki A.D. o-krog Vseh svetih lepo opisuje grobove naših rojakov, ki so delali in garali na tujih tleh pred 60 in več leti. Marsikateri grob prerašča trava, nagrobniki z našimi imeni leže po tleh ali ob pokopališčnem zidu, zapuščeni. To'je1,velika krivda tudi .njihovih’ potomcev, kateri tako brezbrižno pozabljajo na trud in trpljenje svojih prednikov. So pa tudi lepi vzorni slučaji, kjer cenijo in upoštevajo delo in trud svojih rojakov, kateri so delali in trpeli na tujih tleli. Po cerkvah, posebno po katoliških, se v molitvah vedno spominjamo vseh pokojnih roj akov.
Lepo pove g. Jože o svojem očetu-mučencu Narte Velikonji. Dobro se spominjam v juniju 1945, ko smo bili v taborišču v severni Italiji — Forli. Takrat je prišla žalostna vest o smrti g. Narte Velikonja iz Ljubljane. G. Jožetu smo vsi izrekli sožalje ob smrti njegovega očeta. Globoka žalost se je videla iz njegovega obraza, toda vso bolečino je pogumno in vdano v božjo voljo prenašal. Čas je res zacelil vsaj delno te rane, toda spomini so še vedno živi. Pokojni Narte'že uživa . pri Bogu večno srečo in se' smeje v brk grozodejstvom in nerodnostim v preteklosti njegovega življenja.
O smrti Mary Debevec
Ge. Mary Debevec tudi ni’ več, kakor sem bral v Ameriški Domovini. Sedaj, po 28 letih ločitve njenega dobrega soproga Jaka Debevca, se je združila z njim za večno ir. tam pri Bogu v srečni večnosti pripravlja in kuha možu Jaku njemu naj ljubšo jed ‘aj-moht’. katero je opisal v rubriki “Naša Micka ima tul’ besedo”.
To je bilo res prijetno, domače kramljanje za smeh in dobro voljo, kakršnih« danes na žalost moderni napuhnjeni svet malo pozna. In potem se je še pošalil s stricem Matijem (pok. Škerbec Matija), g. Mihom (pok. dr. Krek) itd. Lepo in zanimivo je vedno napisal pok. msgr. Oman v Newburskih novicah. Iz Chicaga pok. Regerčan, zadnje čase pok. Toti Štajerc itd. Naj vsi narodni — nesebični garači v miru božjem počivajo in pri Bogu izprosijo novih, pridnih, Bogu in narodu zvestih delavcev.
V Argentini je umrl lani v novembru eden velikih narodnih garačev g. Jože Koši-ček-žužemberčan. Dobro se Spominjam tega moža. Lela
1931	v postu je imel duhovne vaje za fante v moji rojstni fari Št. Peter pri Novem mestu. Ogromna udeležba je bila. Mož je bil res govornik, p;avi Cieero, in je nam mladim prižgal luč svete vere, ljubezen do Boga in slovenskega naroda ter spoštovanje do bližnjega.
Med govorom v društvenem domu je povedal tudi kakšno za smeh in dobro voljo. Leta
1932	šem ga poslušal v frančiškanski cerkvi v Novem mestu ob priliki veličastnega Evharističnega kongresa, ko je govoril v nabito polni cerkvi možem in fantom. V avgustu 1936 pa na zborovanju mož in fantov na prostem v stiškem samostanu ob 80C-le'c-nici te ustanove. Dve leti pozneje sem ga poslušal na teča-
ju dopisnikov Domoljuba in Slovenca itd.
Na zunaj je bil mož ves fantovski, vesel in preprost, v cerkvi pa resen in pobožen, zlasti pri oltarju in na prižnici. Sedaj se je srečal v srečni večnosti s svojimi Janezi med prvo svetovno vojno, kateri so trpeli in krvaveli tam ob Piavi in je z njimi delil usodo krutosti vojske ter vsakemu prinašal tolažbo in pomoč, kolikor je pač mogel. Naj mu bosta Bog in Marija Pomagaj bogata plačnika.
G. dr. Ludovik Puš .prav lepo opisuje “Oporoka Mihe Kreka slovenskemu narodu”. Mož ni utegnil- vsied preobilice 'dela v korist našemu narodu pisati svojih spominov, pa tudi zdravje mu menda ni preveč dopuščalo tega. Veliko je bilo opisanega v raznih o-krožnicah, govorih in pismih. Kdor bo vse to skupaj zbral, bo našel dovolj gradiva za debele knjige. Koliko intervencij med vojno v Londonu, potem v Rimu, v Severni A-meriki, to ve samo Bog. Za to je večkrat prejemal grdo nehvaležnost. Čeprav ga je to precej bolelo, mož ni tožil nikomur. Skozi tako težke nevarne čase svojih del je šel malokateri slovenski narodni delavec, tudi dr. J. E. Krek in dr. Korošec ne. V času, v katerem živimo, bi mi Slovenci posebno potrebovali tako resnega, treznega in po-
CLEVELAND, O. — Točno pred dvemi tedni, 15. februarja, je praznoval znani lastnik Mandelnove trgovine fine obutve Morris Mandel svoj 85. .rojstni dan. Letos tudi poteka 40-letnica, odkar je g. Mandel odprl svojo prvo trgovino v senklerski naselbini in sicer na 6007 St. Clair Ave. Kupil je tamkajšnjo stavbo od g. Suhadolnika in jo obdržal vse do leta 1948.
Ker so prostori postali pre-mahjni, se je odločil g. Mandel, poiskati večjo trgovino, a. še vedno sredi slovenske naselbine na St. Clairju. Pozanimal se je za poslopje na 6125 St. Clair Ave., blizu tiskarne Ameriške Domovine, in sklenil pogodbo s Charlesom Lauschetom, ki je bil lastnik. V teh prostorih je bilo prej Poželnikovo kegljišče.
S pomočjo nekaj delavcev je g. Mandel delal kar 6 mesecev in je temeljito obnovil prostore tako, da so bili primerni za trgovino fine obut -ve. Skozi svojih 40 let na St. Clairju si je g. Mandel pride-bil veliko število stalnih odjemalcev več narodnosti, še posebno pa Slovencev, Hrvatov,' Poljakov in Italijanov. Veliko je takih, ki so se pre-
nižnega moža, a žal ga trenutno še nimamo.
Novi stiski opat
Slavni stiski samostan ima novega opata, ki se je rodil prav v okolici, č. opata Antona Nadrah, pranečaka bivšega velikega moža, vikarja ljubljanske škofije Ignacija Nadraha.
Z očetom novega opata Francetom sva bila 1. 1944 pri domobrancih v Ilirski Bistrici. Mož je bil pošten, res pravi Izrael, v katerem ni bilo zvijače, marljiv, ponižen, a globokoveren. Novi opat je lahko ponosen nanj. Z bratrancem njegovega očeta, g. Antonom Nadrahom iz Krke sva bila pa 1. 1942 skupaj v ljubljanskih zaporih. Vesel, korajžen fant in bogve, če je še živ. Novemu opatu želim vso srečo v njegovi težki, odgovorni službi v današnjih časih z vročo željo, da bi vsaj delno pripeljal samostan do tiste višine in moči, kakršno je imel v času pred 50 leti njegov prednik p. Avguštin Kastelic.
Ob koncu želim vsem rojakom doma in v tujini ter bralcem Ameriške Domovine
VESELO ALELUJO
in obilo pirhov ter srečnega krščanskega, slovenskega velikonočnega doživetja za velikonočne praznike!

selili v predmestja, a se vseeno vrnejo na St. Clair, da kupujejo pri g. Mandelu.
Akc hočemo biti točni, moramo omeniti, da praznuje letos g. Mandel kar tri obletnice. Pred 60 leti je namreč odprl svojo prvo trgovino o-butve. Trgovina je bila v collinwoodski naselbini na F. 156 St. in Waterloo Road. Tam je ostal g. Mandel do leta 1940, ko se je preselil “za vedno” na St. Clair.
Tu pri Ameriški Domovini hočemo posebej poudariti še to:	g. Mandel je velik pod-
pornik našega lista. Naši bralci so že neštetokrat videli /
njegove oglase. Kljub temu, da ni slovenskega rodu, je g. Mandel storil veliko za dobrobit slovenske skupnosti v senklerski okolici, Slovenci, Hrvati in drugi prebivalci te naselbine šo res podpirali njegovo trgovino, njegov ‘business’, a g. Mandel ni le vzel denar in izginil, ampak je tudi nekaj tega zasluženega .denarja vrnil. Ne manjka primerov takih, ki tega nikoli ne storijo.
G. Morrisu Mandelu ielimo vse najboljše in upamo, da bomo ysi skupaj še ob njegovi devetdesetletnici!

4G9. “Tudi v postnem času moramo ostati veseli”
(o. Vladimir Kos, DJ)
Kako hitro mine čas — naslednjo nedeljo bo v evangeliju odmevalo veselje svatov v Kani Galilejski, in točno čez mesec dni bo vstopil v naše cerkve v vijolično barvo odeti Postni Čas, in spet čez poldrug mesec bo zadonelo iz velikosobotnega molka najlepše petje celega leta: naš Jezus je resnično vstal od mrtvih, naš Jezus živi!
Ali se ne zdrznemo nekoliko — čisto na skrivaj —, ko čutimo hladni dih postnega časa na licu, ki strmi v stenski koledar? Ai si nismo kdaj bili priznali, da bi bilo življenje lepše, ko bi tistih 365 ubogih dni bilo složno porazdeljenih med božično, velikonočno, in binkoštno veselje? Brez Posta . . .
Toda krščansko leto
je leto veselja, ker ga oživlja vsak dan navzočnost od mrtvih vstalega Odrešenika, ki daje pravi Smisel praznovanju vsakega našega praznika, tudi Božiča. Prav zato, ker je Jezus živ, ima Božič svetovnozgodovinski pomen in nam vsako leto znova lahko daje darove istega živega Učlovečenega Božjega Sina, ki nam na ta način tudi daje delež pri tem in ostdlih svetih dogodkih, in nam ni treba biti žal, da nas še ni bilo na tistem svetem kraju ob tisti sveti uri.
Drugi Vatikanski Zbor istoveti ‘zgodovino našega odrešenja’ s ‘skrivnostjo, ki je Kristus in ki je z nami in deluje v nas, posebno ko praznujemo sv. Daritev’ (Sacrosanc-tum concilium, odlomek 35). Zgodovinsko gledano, ni večjega ne pomembnejšega dogodka kot je Jezusovo Vstajenje, ki je vrnilo človeškemu življenju perspektivo veselja s tem, da je podredilo dejstvo fizične smrti bodočim ‘novim nebesom’ in ‘novi zemlji’ (Razodetje 21:1;5).
Da, celo leto je čas veselja v Njem, z Njim in po Njem,
ki živi in deluje v nebesih in na zemlji, če ga le moremo videti z očmi resnične vere. Toda — ali ni Postni Čas izjema, po istem starem pregovoru, da izjema potrjuje pravilo? Poldrug mesec, kakšna devetinka tednov v letu, malenkost, ki nam dovoli kisel obraz, žalostno hojo, miloščino s tresočo roko zavestne žrtve? Ne! Tudi sredi Postnega Časa stoji On in kjer je On, je ve-| sel j e doma.
A Postni Čas je poseben čas, ker podoživljamo tisti del zgodovine, ki je greh ali upor proti Bogu in Njegovemu stvarstvu združil in osredotočil v strahotno križanje nedolžnega Boga — Človeka. Postni čas je tisti čas, ko se vsaj enkrat na leto, v navzočnosti od mrtvih vstalega ljubega Zveličarja, soočimo s celo stvarnostjo, ki jo tudi zdaj ruši in maliči greh. Le greh, rojen v svobodni človeški odločitvi, lahko to stori. Isti greh je bil zadal rane Njemu, ki jih zdaj nosi spremenjene v zmagoslavno luč ljubezni, križane za nas; vsak smrtni greh od začetka do konca sveta je takorekoč vsebovan v smrtonosnem dejanju, ki je Jezusa obsodilo na trpljenje za smrt.
\
V luči, ki sije iz Njegovih zmagoslavnih ran,
' nam je toplo pri srcu; ali moremo biti pri Njem žalostni? In prav zato, ker smo veseli iz ljubezni do Njega, hočemo še bolj sovražiti greh; hočemo vsaj v tem času nekoliko popraviti škodo, edinstveno škodo, ki jo greh dela posebno na dušah ljudi, posamič in v skupini in v celotni družbi, pa naj so njeni predeli odeti v še tako zveneča imena
n.pr. politike, gospodarstva, kulture. Da, prav zato, ker smo veseli pri Njem in v Njem in po Njem, smo močni in lahko prosimo odpuščanja tu: di za vsakokratne lastne pomanjkljivosti, iskanja samega sebe na škodo drugih, rizne opustitve — oh, za toliko stvari, s katerimi se nekako odmaknemo od Njegove navzočnosti, najbrž vsak dan.
In kadar se tega zavemo, se zavemo, da nas zmeraj čaka s pomočjo, z razumevanjem, z neskaljeno ljubeznivostjo, če se s kesom premaknemo naprej v Njegovo bližino; posebno, če se kes osredotoči na našo najhujšo napako, ki znova in znova nekako uveljavlja našo sebičnost.
S tega vidika, mimogrede omenjeno, pogosta sv. spoved prav posebej pomaga: namesto da bi se izgubljala v mehaničnem ponavljanju o ‘raztresenosti pri molitvi’ (kar vem iz svojega zgodnjega izkustva), se osredotoči na eno ali dve glavni napaki, ju obžaluje, in prosi in doseže posebno zakramentalno pomoč; v takšni spovedi je združeno takorekoč vse ostalo, več ali manj številno, a manj izrazito in zato manj škodljivo uveljavljanje naših nagnjenj k ne-dobremu, netrajnemu, nezdravemu.
Veselje našega srca
je večje kot pa vse te pomanjkljivosti; lahko bi mu rekli ponižno veselje, ko je treba prositi odpuščanja; tem laže ga krepi Njegova milost; in tem raje hočemo popraviti škodo — plačati dolgove — opraviti pokoro; vemo namreč, da njena vrednost ne za-visi od količine, marveč od kakovosti, to je, ljubezni do Jezusa in veselja nad Njinj. Kako je bil pisal sv. Pavel Filipljanom? “Rad bi, da bi bili srečni, zmeraj srečni v Gospodu; naj ponovim: morate biti srečni!” (4:4).
In 2. Vatikanski Zbor nam kliče v spomin, da je važno, da se kot kristjani zavemo “ne le socialnih posledic greha, ampak tudi dejstva, da je bistvo krščanske- kreposti pokore v tem, da sovražimo greh, ker žali Boga s svojo naperjenostjo proti Njemu .... (“Sacrosanctum concilium, odi. 109.)
Za kristjana je spokorno srce lahko krepost, to je, čuti se lahko močnega, kadarkoli se odloči za spokorno dejanje v mislih ali besedah ali pa v delu odnosno določeni opustitvi in odpovedi. In kakor lahko greh pokvari vsako stvar, tako lahko pokora popravi vsako stvar, seveda do določene mere in opirajoč se na božjo pomoč in božjo Previdnost; “vemo, da Bog sodeluje s tistimi, ki Ga imajo radi, in da vse tako obrne, da jim je v korist” (Rim 8:28).
Oh, skoraj bi bil pozabil omeniti, da je v Pavlovem inventarju darov sv. Duha veselje na drugem mestu, takoj za ljubeznijo; “dajmo se torej voditi od sv. Duha, saj izvira iz Njega krščansko življenje.” (Gal 5:22;25.)

She entered into rest after a short illness on Jan. 6, 1980. Our dear loved one was born on Sept. 24, 1899 in Javor, Slovenia, and emigrated to America in 1913.
Our beloved was a member of Lodge No. 145, S.N.P.J. and Branch No. 25, Slovenian Women’s Union.
Funeral services were held on Jan. 9, 1980 from the Zele Memorial Chapel, E. 152nd St. with a Mass of the Resurrection at 10:30 a.m. in St. Vitus Church. We are deeply grateful to pastor Rev. Joseph Boz-nar for his celebration of the Mass, leading the rosary at the funeral home, his beautiful eulogy and the prayers he offered at her gravesite. Special thanks to him also for all of his visits and kindnesses toward our loved one.
Many thanks to the members of her lodges who in large numbers paid final homage to her with prayer and touching words of farewell.
\ May the Lord bless everyone for their beautiful floral pieces, Mass offerings and
donations to charitable causes in her memory.

Deep appreciation is extended to Mr. Peter Johnson for his fine organ accompaniment during the service.
Special thanks to her grandsons who served as pallbearers.

Bili so to trije bratje — Černini, katere je lani odposlal oče, da bi poiskali vojvodo Premisla ... Pot je sicer vedla vsakega na drugo stran toda nekako pred mesecem dni so se sešli po prečudnem naključju, o katerem bi mogel letopisec napisati celo knjigo ... V domovino se niso
hoteli vrniti, dokler ne najdejo vsaj sledu po Premislu. Seveda niso imeli niti slutnje, da bi bil najmlajši brat med vsemi najsrečnejši in da bi bil on prvi prinesel Premislu očetovo poročilo, naj se vrne v domovino. Dva izmed njih sta skoraj celo leto presedela v ječi, eden na renskih

bregovih V gradu na nepristopni skali, ker je pri ponosnem grofu odklonil službo so-
kolnika, drugi je bil nekje v Primorju na starem dvoru prikljenjen še več časa, ker ni hotel roke stare plemkinje in tretji je blodil po francoski deželi.
In ko sta obg prva srečno prišla iz ječe, kakor da je bedel nad njima njun dobri duh, sta se napotila v smer, s katere je prihajal oni s Francoskega njima naproti, in sešli so se na bregu Severnega morja — na mestu, kjer se je razvilo pozneje bogato trgovsko mesto Brema.
Šele v Bremi so slišali o nameravani poroki danskega kralj a.s hčerjo Premislovo, ki je baje zopet vojvoda na Hradčanih, izvedeli so tudi,
. kako je našel pribežališče med sorodnimi Bodrci in da je dansko poslanstvo že odšlo na Češko po nevesto. In zato so vsi o najkrajši poti odšli na Dansko, da bi prvi pozdravili mlado kraljico v njeni novi domovini.
Toda nesreča je bila takorc-koč prikovana na njihove noge. Ko so na bregovih Vzhodnega morja sedli na ladjo, jih je zasačil vihar in jih zagnal za Rpjano; in šele danes se jim je posrečilo stopiti na danska tla.
Še ta dan je priplulo na o-balo kakih sto ladjic s postavami, kakršne smo videli že na tukajšnjih bregovih.
Valdemarovo oko se je v najsvetlejšem žaru lesketalo od notranje zadovoljnosti.'
“Šele ko stopim na danski prestol, spoznate moje gosto-
ljubje. Če vam bo ljubo služiti danskemu kralju, gospodje, vam iz srca rad odkažem najčastnejša mesta, primerna vašemu znanju.”
Bratje so zopet začudeno pogledovali drug drugega.
“Proti komu se napravljaš na vojno, častiti oče?”	»
To vprašanje je dimilo bodočega kralja nekako neprijetno.
“Ne čudim se vam, ker ste tujci; vedite torej, da proti mlajšemu bratu pokojnega
kralja, katerega oče me je imel dolgih štirinajst let zaprtega v ječi.”
Bratje so se začudili še bolj...
“Za soprogo si je izbral tujko; kakor bi ne bilo dovolj junaške krvi med danskimi rodovi, med rodovi nemških knezov..
“Od kod, če smemo vprašati, častiti oče?”
“S Češkega ...”

Twelve long years have gone by since your life ebbed away.
We seem to see in the soft, dim light a face we loved so well And think of him when the sun’s last ray goes down in the far-off West.
We miss you, Dad, no less as time passes on than we did on the day of your going. Absence can never close the door of our hearts.
Your loving care we recall With gratitude and your memory we shall always keep.
THERESA CERKVENIK
nee Obed
who entered into eternal rest on July 25, 1979 after a lingering illness at the Anna Marie Nursing Home in Aurora, O.
Funeral services were held at Zele Memorial Chapel, Cleveland, Ohio, on July 30, 1979, with Rev. Donald Hart Gordon officiating, and her remains laid to rest in Urn Garden at Highland Park Cemetery.
We acknowledge with sincere gratefulness the many kind gestures of condolences and sympathy extended us in our bereavement; our deep gratitude to all who came to pay their respects to our beloved Mother and bid their last farewell to her.
Our heartfelt thanks to all who remembered Mother with beautiful floral
bouquets that graced her bier, and to all who made contributions to / the Slovene Home for the .Aged as w'ell as to other charitable organizations in her memory.
Dear Mom, grandma and sister, your suffering has ended, you are now at rest, but in our midšt there is a great void that shall never be filled. You are in spirit with us and in our hearts you shall live forever.
The depths of sorrow we cannot tell of the loss of one w'e loved so well.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
Our hearts ache with sadness,
but we fondly cherish your gentleness. Sweet, happy memories cling round you, your smile we shall never forget.
ENSIGN WALTER F. CERKVENIK
whose young life suddenly ended on February 27, 1944, in a fatal plane crash during maneuvers in Klamath Falls, Oregon, while serving his country in World War II.
He little thought when leaving home,
He would return no more;
That he in death so soon would sleep,
And leave us here to mourn.
We do not know what pain he bore,
We only know he passed away And could not say goodbye.
Just when his days seemed brightest,
Just when his hopes seemed best,
Fate dealt a blow and took him from us.
Shattered were his happy dreams and hopes.
Tender thoughts, a secret tear
Make his memory ever near.
We loved him too much to ever forget!
The threads in our family circle have been severed and there is a vacancy that shall be filled only with the fondest memories of those whom we loved and lost.
Sadly missed by:
Cleveland, Ohio, 1980.

GODIČ, KIRK, PETELIN ARE ST VITUS HGNOREES
Memo: From Madeline
By DANIEL J. POSTOTNIK
At an “Appreciation Dinner” held last Sat. evening, Feb. 23, 1980 at St. Vitus Auditorium, three important individuals' with long years of service to the parish, were cited for their accomplishments.
DOROTHY KIRK, 1095 E. 04th St.; FRANK J. GODIC,. 1234 E. 61st St.; and LOUIS PETELIN, 6330 Carl Ave., received beautiful plaques honoring them as St. Vitus Woman and Men of the Year 1979.
The dinner is held annually as a token of appreciation to the many parishioners who in various capacities help their church, especially at the yearly Carnival and Novemberfest, two of the big fund raisers.
It was only last year that Father A. Edward Pevec,- our former pastor, initiated the idea to give some recognition to those who have given so much time and effort through the years for the benefit of St. Vitus.
Our present pastor, Rev. Joseph Boznar, has continued this custom. Both' are to be commended for this practice, as the awards are an incentive for greater participation in parish activities, and also serve as recognition for superior effort.
Father Boznar eulogized Frank J. Godic “as a life long parishioner who has been active in almost every phase of parish life, having served as councilman, usher, carnival committee member for many years, and more recently has added additional duties as cucharistic minister”.

Mrs. Dorothy Kirk, he said: “she is also a life long resident of the parish, and the official mayor of Glass Ave. and E. 64th St. Dorothy prefers to work unnoticed but nevertheless gives real service. The rumor has it, that twice a year, she packs her sleeping bags and moves to the auditorium to order and manage the carnival stock”.
Commenting on the third honoree, Louis Petelin, Father Boznar stated: “here is a man of few words but what a tremendous wrorker. He is always ready for any kind of a job, large or small. Merely a hint is needed and he is sure to be there”.
Mr. Joseph S. Baškovič, president of Church Council, urged the 20G or so who attended to continue with their fine support. We might also be a bit more generous with our donations as the winter utility bills, especially gas, are again astronomical.
Pastor Father Boznar closed the program with an announcement that Oct. 19, 1980 will mark 50 years since our parish gathered to witness the groundbreaking for the present new church.
“In deference to the spirit, zeal and dedication of our people 50 years ago” he concluded, “we should not, I think, let this important anniversary go unnoticed. I will, in the near future, call a special meeting of the councilmen and parish organization leaders, to begin some initial plans for a celebration. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions, please let me know or give them to one of our council-men”.

I had moved to New Orleans several years ago and thought I was the only Slovenian down here until Larry and Rose Zaletel. from Newburgh, moved down. Larry, Roše and I all play the button box, and are playing together. So don’t forget the two Slovenians down here in New Orleans.

SLOVENE IMMIGRATION
TO COLORADO
By JOSEPH VELIKONJA CONTINUED
Only three locations in Colorado hosted sizeable communities of Slovenes: Pueblo, Denver and Leadville. In all three the church became the most significant community center either as a supporter of church related activities or as a rallying point of opposition. The history of Slovene migration is associated more with the physical structure and physical facilities of a church and subsequent creation of a neighborhood than as an outlet for missionary work of Slovene priests, no matter how prominent they were at the time. In all caces, they were considered more mavericks than doctrinaires, more “priests in exile” than thorough representatives of the official church. Fathers Cyril Zupan in Pueblo (from 1889), John Perse (from 1896) and Trunk (from 1924) in Leadville, and John Judnic in Denver assumed leading community roles in their- respective locations, with most last-in effects in Pueblo and Leadville and vanishing roles in Denver.
The Slovenes did not achieve their own clear identification until very late. Even today, they identify themselves either by their provincial designation ■— Krainers, most of them being from the Austrain province of Krain, or more generally “Austrians”. The parish at Leadville was constituted as “The Austrian St. Joseph Catholic Church Society of Leadville, Colorado” in 1899.
In advertisement for the Slovene weekly, Mir, published in the Pueblo City Directory in 1902-1903 appears under the heading: AUSTRIANS BY THE THOUSANDS and; states that “... we publish in Slavic language a paper they all read ...”.
The foreign label is somewhat justified. Ihe naturalization records of the Pueblo District Court from 1912 to 1923 included 831 petitions for naturalization, of which 190 can be identified as Slovene. The total number is moderate when we consider the tens of thousands of immigrants who settled in the area.
The review of conditions in Colorado reveals also that the two societies, the society of “good Americans” and the society of immigrants, often called “foreigners” in general ignored each other and did very little to become integrated.
The “native society” of families and permanent settlers was distinguished from predominantly male and tem -porary society of immigrants. In Colorado, steps toward spatial and social integration were made mostly after World War I in Pueblo after the 1921 flood, in Leadville at the closure of most smelters and the height of economic depression of the 1920’s and in other settlements and camps with the closure of mines and coke ovens, which forced people to move away. Pueblo, Denver and other cities in the East became the new homes for displaced immigrants, now accompanied with families and already knowledgable in “American ways”.
Mutual ignoring by the two

societies is very evident in review of local newspapers, either in the English language papers in which the immigrants are noticeable only when they created troubles and in foreign language papers, which concentrated on the ethnic and national news and news from the old country. It is almost unbelievable that two sets of papers with the same dates published in the same locations can present such a different story.
Such an omission of immigrants is further evident in official directories, which began to appear in the 1830’s for the cities of Denver, Pueblo and Leadville, joined by the turn of the century by Trinidad and Las Animas counties. Those directories normally did not list immigrant associations and clubs, or included only selected names, often misspelled beyond recognition. It is somewhat interesting that the St. Joseph Church in Leadville is publicized in recent local pamphlets as the Slovene church, mostly due to Father Trunks original paintings, while in the early directories it is not recognized. The St. Joseph Society in Pueblo lists 114 members for 1898. Only 47 of the 114 names appear also in the Pueblo City Directory of 1898-99.
The 1899 Trinidad Directory does not include any Slovene names for Trinidad for 1899; the first appear in 1909 and in the 1910-11 volumes. A few Slovene names are listed in 1899 for Sopris, Primero, Tabasco and Segundo. Ten years later, additional names are listed for Berwind, Gray Creek, Hastings, Engleviile and Starkville.
Colodrado was also very significant in the organizational efforts of Slovene communities, As early as 1893 the first Slovene society was organized in Pueblo, only five months later at Crested Butte, followed by Leadville in 1899 and Denver in 1903. The national convention of the KSKJ took place in Pueblo in-1898. Although it led to the split in the fraternal organization, it represented a major recognition of Colorado for the total Slovene migration in the United States.
Remarkably cohesive neighborhoods were established ir the 1890’s in Pueblo in the Grove area, though the area was not exclusively Slovene. Similarly in Globeyille, a suburb of Denver, in Leadville 'on ihe west side and in the Stringtown neighborhood, adjacent to the Arkansas Smelter. Aspen, Trinidad, Crested Butte, Walsenburg and Golden had sizeable Slovene concentrations but not exclusive neighborhoods.
Slovene churches sprang into existence before 1900 in Pueblo (1893) and in Leadville (1899), followed later by Denver (Globeville). The turn of the century also witnessed the appearance of the first Slovene printing in the weekly paper, Mir, published in 1901, and in the Slovene section of Camp and Plant, published by the CF & I from 1901 to 1904.
The pioneering survey of Slava Lipoglavsek-Rakovec. published in 1950 but based on rbe 1934 study of Frank Zaitz, . erroneously states that in Colorado we first find Slovene settlers employed in gold mines around Leadville and a little later in silver mines at Aspen and Crested Butte.” Neither bf the two writers visited the area or had direct

acquaintance with the region. Equally erroneous is the statement that “Slovene communities are vanishing” for various reasons, or the statement that “Pueblo is on the main transcontinental rail line”. The fact tha't Pueblo is not on the transcontinental line had a major impact in not meeting the expectations of becoming a major industrial center ui the West.
The number of Slovenes in Colorado was estimated to be around 8000 though repeated statements give a larger figure for 1910. All these figures seem to be exaggerated. They tend to double count the people who spent part of their time at the camps and part at the major centers. The Pueblo Slovene population was estimated to be 3,500 in 1907. The 1900 Census enables to identify 1,261 people from Austria, about 70 percent being identified as Slovenes, which brings the number to about 900, a much more reasonable figure, which possibly doubled by 1907. The 1900’s were therefore met by fast growing Slovene clusters in permanent
and respectable cities Pueblo, Leadville, and to soi-;S extent Denver, and in the i-d3 prosperous though neveriiW less expanding communi P5 of Crested Butte, Golden, TD' nidad, Hastings, Canon CiU and the large coal mini’1'1’ camps of Primero, Segund0’ Cokeville, Berwin, El Mot0 and others. We find only T*' dividual Slovenes in the iA' mnus '»enters of Central C'i'P Cripple Creek, Victor, and -n the rural centers of Gree1 W' Lamar: Fort Collins, and l-35 Animas.
The Slovene migration Colorado had a short but ve'A active period of immigrati Y1, which stopped with Wor!^ War I and did not reapP'ial afterwards.
