- PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV -
Zvezni senat podprl Reagana glede prodaje orožja Saudski Arabiji — En sam glas prinesel zmago predsedniku
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je zvezni senat potrdil veljavnost veta predsednika Reagana resolucije, ki sta jo bila odobrila oba .kongresna domova, in je prepovedala prodajo Saudski Arabiji protiletalskih raket. Reagan je sicer odobril prodajo, po veljavnem zakonu pa imata oba domova zveznega kongresa pravico s posebno resolucijo takšno prodajo preprečiti. Na ločenem glasovanju sta bila oba domova tako resolucijo odobrila in jo poslala predsedniku. Reagan pa je imel kot predsednik pravico resolucijo vetirati, kar je tudi storil. Da bi bil veto razveljavljen, bi morala oba domova Kongresa, na ločenih glasovanjih, resolucijo zopet odobriti, vendar tokrat z dvotretjinsko večino. Na prvem glasovanju je bila namreč Potrebna le večina.
Ker ni bilo nobenega dvoma, da bodo Prijatelji Izraela z lahkoto dobili dvotretjinsko večino v spodnjem domu, je Reagan že-Jel glasovanje v zveznem senatu, v katerem imajo republikanci večino. Dejstvo je tudi, da na letošnjih novembrskih volitvah kandidira le tretjino zveznih senatorjev. Tisti, ki ictos ne kandidirajo, torej niso pod tako močnim neposrednim pritiskom dobro organizirane židovske skupnosti v ZDA, ki igra nadpovprečno vlogo v političnem sistemu ZDA zaradi pripravljenosti prispevati veliko denarja politikom in političnim kandidatom, naklonjenim Izraelu in izraelski politiki.
Predsednik Reagan sam je bil zelo aktiven v kampanji za potrditev njegovega Veta. Osebno se je srečal s člani senata, z mnogimi je govoril po telefonu ali v Beli hiši. Njegovo Prizadevanje mu je prineslo uspeh. Na vče-rajšnjem glasovanju se je 66 senatorjev opredelilo proti predsedniku, njegovo stališče pa Je podprlo 34, kar je bilo z enim glasom dovolj. Predsednik je bil vesel zmage, vendar tudi nasprotniki niso bili dosti užaljeni. Trdijo, da so Saudci in tudi Reagan dejansko dobili le 10 odstotkov tistega orožja, kar so sprva želeli nabaviti v ZDA. Znova potrjen Je tudi bil obseg izraelskega vpliva na ameriš-kt Kongres in ameriško zunanjo politiko.
Ronald Pelton obsojen radi vohunjenja za ZSSR — Jonathan Pollard priznal, da je vohunil za Izrael
Baltimore, Md. — včeraj je z\ Porota ugotovila, da je Ronald W. P res vohunil za Sovjetsko zvezo ter posi Val sovjetskim agentom veliko najbolj 2 'Jfga gradiva. Tožilec je bil med razpra\ d. da je Pelton storil neprecenljivo š druženim državam. Pelton je bil zapi 4 let pri Nacionalni varnostni agenciji, ‘Ped drugim dešifrira z najsodobnejšim Pravami in metodami komunikacije tuji av, predvsem seveda Sovjetske zveze ir nih zaveznic. Zvezni sodnik Herbert F. I b° izrekel kazen 28. julija, Pelton ahko čaka dosmrtna ječa.
Svojo krivdo kot izraelski vohun je nal Jonathan Pollard. Pollard je bil ci s užbenec ameriške mornarice, ko se je °tiudil izraelskim agentom in jim deja 111 je pripravljen posredovati zaupne pc e' V tej vohunski zadevi je bilo vplel .e izraelskih obveščevalnih agentov, rad priznava. Izraelska vlada pa trd .. r° 0rTlenjeni agenti kršili pooblastila in d v ■ nima vohunov v ZDA. Pollard j v ^^Pda povedal zasliševalcem, da njegov
mer ni osamljen. Preiskava zveznih agencij o obsegu izraelskega vohunjenja se bo torej nadaljevala in dobro obveščeni viri vedo povedati, da bo menda odkritih več primerov, podobnih Pollardovemu.
Filipinski komunisli privolili v pogajanja z Aquinovo vlado — Cilj pogajanj je premirje — O koalicijski vladi ni govora
MANILA, Fil. Filipinska predsednica Corazon Aquino je dejala včeraj, da je komunistična partija pristala na neposredna pogajanja .z vladnimi predstavniki, katerih namen bi bil doseči prčmirje. Tudi po prihodu Aquinove na oblast februarja letos so komunistične gverilske enote nadaljevali s svojimi napadi. Komunistično partijo naj bi na pogajanjih zastopal Satur Ocampo. Ustanovitelj partije Jose Maria Sison, ki ga je bila Aquinova izpustila na svobodo, je pa dejal, da zahteva partija koalicijsko vlado, v kateri bo zastopana. Kot kaže, se Aquinova za tako koalicijo ne zanima.
Sovjeti evakuirali dodatnih 20.000 oseb iz okolice Černobila — Dva černobilska reaktorja bosta obratovala do konca leta
MOSKVA, ZSSR — Sovjetska zveza je priznala, da je moralo biti evakuiranih iz okolice Gomela v južni Bjelorusiji 20.000 oseb in sicer zato, ker so strokovnjaki našli večjo koncentracijo jedrskih snovi v zemlji. Gomel je kakih 40 milj severozahodno od Černobilske elektrarne. Namestnik predsednika sovjetske vlada Jurij Batalin je dejal v intervjuju, da se je že vrnilo domov nekaj tistih oseb, evakuiranih iz černobilske okolice, da pa bo moralo veliko drugih evakuirancev še dolgo čakati, predno se bddo mogli vrniti domov.
Nekateri sovjetski predstavniki trdijo, da bo mogoče znova začeti z obratovanjem dveh nepoškodovanih reaktorjev v černobilskem kompleksu do konca leta. Sovjetska sredstva javnega obveščanja zadnji čas bolj obširno poročajo o razmerah v Černobilu.
— Kratke vesti —
Dunaj, Avstrija — To nedeljo bodo zaključne volitve za mesto predsednika Avstrije. Javna povpraševanja kažejo, da zanesljivo vodi Kurt Waldheim, bivši generalni sekretar Združenih narodov, ki je menda premagal dvome glede njegovega obnašanja, ko je bil častnik nemške vojske v okupirani Jugoslaviji in Grčiji v zadnji vojni.
Mexico City, Meh. — Mehika je zopet v
težavah zaradi plačevanja obresti in glavnine svojega zunanjega dolga, ki znaša 97 milijard dolarjev. Nižja cena nafte je hudo prizadela Mehiko, ki dobiva kar 70 odstotkov vsega dohodka od uvoza preko prodaje nafte.
Port-au-Prince, Hajti — Gen. Henri
Namphy, ki vodi hajtijsko vlado, je dejal, da je dežela, ena najrevnejših in gospodarsko najzaostalih na svetu, v stanju skoro popolne anarhije.
Amritsar, Indija — Policija v državi
Pundžab išče tri vodilne Sikhe, med njimi vdovo enega atentatorjev, ki je ubil Indiro Gandhi. Sikhski skrajneži ta teden obhajajo drugo obletnico indijske zasedbe Zlatega templja v tem mestu. Ta tempelj je najsvetejše svetišče za Sikhe, v njem pa so bili imeli Sikhi veliko orožja. Več sto oseb je bilo takrat ubitih, Sikhi pa še vedno zahtevajo avtonomno državno tvorbo.

Ne bomo jih pozabili!
Tudi letos se bomo 14. in 1 5. junija s posebno svečanostjo na Slovenski pristavi spomnili vseh žrtev komunističnega terorja in sovražne okupacije Slovenije med zadnjo vojno. Prav posebej pa se bomo spominjali tiste zločinske morije, ki je v maju in juniju pred 41 leti pokončala na tisoče mladih življenj. V slovenski zgodovini ji ni primere, po svoji krutosti pa bi tudi v svetovni zgodovini komaj r^šli kaj podobnega.

preblizu teh dogodkov, da bi mogli premeriti strahoto tega zločina. Toda čas, ta največji zaveznik pravice in maščevalec obenem, gre nevzdržno naprej in odkriva resnico. Prav te dni je izšlo v Londonu zgodovinsko delo angleškega pisatelja in zgodovinarja Nikolaja Tolstoja pod naslovom »The Minister and the Massacres«. Avtor je potomec slavnega ruskega pisatelja Leva Tolstoja in je napisal že več knjig, med katerimi je najbolj znana »Victims of Yalta«.
Knjiga »The Minister and the Massacres« obširno opisuje in podrobno analizira dogodke okoli vračanja domobrancev in drugih protikomunističnih borcev s Koroškega v Jugoslavijo v maju in juniju 1 945. Osnovna trditev avtorja je, da je izročanje vseh protikomunističnih enot Titovcem bila v nasprotju s tozadevnimi navodili ameriške in angleške vlade. Tudi izročitev ruskih Kozakov, ki niso bili sovjetski državljani, v Sovjetijo ni bila v skladu z določili v Jalti. Tolstoj je zbiral gradivo za knjigo 1 2 let in je svoje trditve temeljito in izčrpno podprl z dokumenti in pričevanji še živečih udelpžencev.
Dokazno gradivo močno obremenjuje Harolda Macmi-llana, ministra v Churchillovi vladi in poznejšega ministrskega predsednika, ki je bil proti koncu vojne dodeljen štabu generala Alexandra v Italiji, in njegove neznane sodelavce. Izročitev je bila izvršena tajno in brez vednosti Alexandra in drugih nadrejenih organov vlade.
Dokumentacija potrjuje, da so se pri tem posluževali
prevare in laži. Značilno in na žalost nepojasnjeno je izginotje cele vrste dokumentov iz britanskih državnih arhivov, ki jih avtor tudi navaja. To pa dokazuje, da so še vedno na delu sile, ki hočejo izbrisati sled za seboj, ki morda nekoga ščitijo in zato ne dovolijo, da bi resnica prišla na dan.
Nobenega dvoma ni, da bo knjiga močno odjeknila predvsem v Angliji, verjetno pa tudi drugod po svetu. Seveda tudi v Jugoslaviji in posebno v Sloveniji ne bodo mogli dolgo molčati, kot da je ni. Predvsem pa je upati, da bo morda tudi tukaj v svobodnem svetu marsikomu pokazala pravo podobo sistema in ljudi, ki so ta podli zločin zagrešili in ki so še danes na krmilu, čeprav se zelo trudijo, da bi predvsem v zahodnem svetu pokazali bolj kulturen in človeški obraz.
Poglavje »Pit of Kočevje« je pretresljiv opis te nečloveške morije, ki v marsičem presega vse grozote, ki so v človeški zgodovini poznane. Temelji na pričevanjih preživelih žrtev pa tudi krvnikov, ki so pri tem pokolu sodelovali. Tolstoj zaključuje to poglavje z mislijo, da bo brez dvoma prišel čas, ko bo tem žrtvam postavljen obelisk ne samo v Ljubljani, ampak tudi na grobu v Kočevskem rogu. In če naj bo pravici zadoščeno, bodo poleg Titovega imena zapisana tudi imena tistih britanskih sodelavcev, brez katerih skrite pomoči ne bi moglo priti do tega pokola.
Tabor DSPB vabi vse, da v dneh 14. in 15. junija pri kapelici na Slovenski pristavi v zbranosti počastimo naše mučeniške žrtve. Zdaj, ko jim je pisatelj Tolstoj s svojo knjigo postavil trajen spomenik, naj bo to tujčevo priznanje spodbuda tistim, ki so doslej stali ob strani, in tistim, ki se v »politiko« ne mešajo, in predvsem tistim, ki želijo, da se vse to pozabi, da bodo zbrali toliko moralnega poguma in s svojo navzočnostjo izpričali, da se je tem žrtvam zgodila v nebo vpijoča krivica, da so to naši mučenci, ki so v obrambi osnovnih moralnih vrednot slovenskega naroda izgubili svoje življenje.
Ob tej priliki bomo obudili tudi spomin na generala Rupnika, na moža, ki je bil duša in srce našega protikomunističnega odpora, in ki je pred štiridesetimi leti hote in zavestno daroval svoje življenje, da bi mi mogli živeti. Pridimo, da se poklonimo njegovemu spominu in spominu naših bratov ter da se mu po 40 letih znova zahvalimo za njegov zgled in za naše življenje.

Rojaki! Priporočajte Ameriško Domovino svojim slovenskim prijateljem in znancem!
Mimogrede iz Milwaukeeja
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Prijadrali smo v mesec junij, ki nam bo, vsaj upajmo po mrzlem maju, končno s poletjem prinesel tudi lepše, toplejše vreme.
Na dan 21. junija nastopi poletje, najdaljši dan in najkrajša noč. Kljub temu pa se je s tem dnem hkrati začel že krajšati dan. V starih časih niso bili tako natančni in so začetek poletja praznovali na dan Janeza Krstnika, 24. junija. To je bil tudi edini večji poletni praznik, zato so mu pripisovali čudežno moč kot, na primer: Nasloni uho na zemljo in praprotna semena, pa boš izvedel, kje izvira zlato in kje se preliva srebro.
V	lepem Triglavskem parku je dosti lepega praprotja in semena. Naša Trnovčanka Dari sicer preizkuša to čudežno moč že par let, a brez uspeha. (Seveda to drži samo v »starem kraju«!) Spominjam se tudi, da se je v Triglavskem parku, danes že pokojni štajerski rojak Toni Strmšek (ta mesec mineva že eno leto, odkar nas je zapustil) v rosi kresnega jutra umival svoj obraz, trdeč, da mu čista rosa daje zdravilno moč in odpornost pred boleznimi — a zopet, na žalost, samo v stari domovini.
Stara slovenska imena za junij so rožnik, mesec, ko vse cvete, bobov cvet, kresnik, krstnik, šestnik, ranoleten, prašnik in senovjak.
Potrpimo še malo, da se nam poletje uravnovesi in pokaže, kaj zna o soncu, simbolu poletnega časa: Pred zoro ni sonca. — Naj bo hiša še tako srečna, vedno ji sonce ne sije.
—	Sonce vzhaja in zahaja dobrim in zlim. — Če sonce sije, je še na pokopališču prijetno.
—	Sonce je univerzalno zdravilo iz nebesne lekarne. — Dokler bo sonce sijalo, bo tudi grelo. — Ne žali in ne izkoriščaj sonca, da te ne opeče. — Kdor ima maslo na glavi, naj ne hodi na sonce. — Tudi če sveti sonce še tako lepo, enkrat mora zaiti.
V	tem mesecu je veliko znanih svetnikov in zato vsem, ki imajo v tem mesecu svoje godove, ali so rojeni, imejte sonce v svojem srcu in vse najboljše želje, s pripombo, da je Levstik dejal: »Težko je prav slišati, še težje prav videti, najtežje pa je prav umeti!«
Milwauski Triglavski kotiček:
Društvo Triglav prijateljsko vabi vse naše rojake in rojakinje ter prijatelje na prvi letošnji piknik, ki se bo vršil v nedeljo, 15. junija, v lepo urejenem Triglavskem parku. Ob
11.	uri dopoldne bo v Parku, v kapelici sv. Cirila in Metoda, sv. maša, takoj po opravilu pa bodo društveni člani in članice servirali okusno kosilo s pecivom ter vročo in hladno pijačo. Za ples in prijateljsko zabavo bo tudi preskrbljeno. Torej pridite, ne bo Vam žal!
V časi društvenim materam:
Predzadnjo nedeljo prete-
klega meseca je društvo Triglav pripravilo mamicam in starim materam lep materinski popoldan pri kapelici, ob lepo z rožami okrašenem kipu sv. Marije, v Triglavskem parku. Predsednik Triglava Jože Ku-novar je v blagodoneči ljubljanščini pozdravil vse navzoče, poseben pozdrav pa je izrekel vsem društvenim mamicam in materam, ter se istočasno zahvalil za njihovo nesebično delo v korist Triglava.
Ob tej priliki je g. Kunovar presenečeni voditeljici triglav' ske kuhinje Loni Limonijevi iskreno čestital, ker jo je društvo Triglav izbralo in počastilo za društveno mater 1986. Pre' jela je topel aplavz od vseh navzočih.
Sledile so pete litanije, katere sta radi zadržanega društvenega duhovnega vodje rev-Jožeta Goleta vodila člana Janez Limoni in Jože Ornik, ter pevski zbor pod vodstvom Mare Kolmanove. Po litanijah je Jože Kunovar obdaroval vsako mamico in članico z lepim rdečim nageljem, kar je povzročilo med njimi veliko smehljajočih obrazov.
Naj omenim še, da si je društvo nabavilo nove električne naprave za pečenje kokoši, ki so se to pot po izjavi strokovnjaka Janeza Bambiča odlično obnesle.
Po kosilu in programu se je v Domu razvila prijateljska zabava, v veseli družbi pa smo zapeli na čast rojstnemu dnevu upravniku Parka Francu Me' jaču in njegovi boljši polovici Minki (oba imata rojstni dan 19. maja!) ameriško čestitko »Happy Birthday«. Obema še mnogo let zdravega in zadovoljnega življenja.
Skratka, bil je lep, prijateljski materinski praznik. Poroka in ohcet v Hinsdalu> Illinois:

JOŠKO KRISTANC ML.
Ki mu je kruta roka vzela mlado življenje 6. junija 1978.
Let osem, ljubljeni oče, sin, brat, oh, srce naših bolečin, vse prezgodaj si odšel, vse prezgodaj si zapustil nas, vse prezgodaj je usoda kruta vzela mlado ti življenje.
Srca naša trepetajo, v bolečini za teboj, obiski, solze, prošnje in molitve ne izpremene, ne prebude v življenje te nazaj.
Ljubi oče, sin, brat in stric!
Počivaj mirno v tihem grobu, pri Bogu večno veseli se!

Brat Ludvik Zabret
za Veliko noč piše predsednici Tušarjevi, »da je v Indiji že kar toplo in da povsod manjka vode. Vodnjaki so naenkrat prazni. Kleriki so odšli na razne misijone in zavode, da vodijo »summer clubs«, kot lansko leto med šolskimi počitnicami. Izpite so vsi končali pred Veliko nočjo. V njegovi redovni hiši, ki je sedaj trenutno prazna, bodo imeli tak poletni klub. Program bo pester, da se lahko fantje kaj več naučijo in se med počitnicami ne potepajo po cestah. Tako je vedno več kot dovolj dela. Zahvalim se za Vaše pismo in vsej MZA za Vašo stalno pomoč pri vzdrževanju naših misijonskih poklicev. Pozdrav in voščila! Vedno Vaš hvaležni Ludvik.«
Lazarist Janez Puhan
je 21. aprila razposlal o-krožnico iz Manambondro na Madagaskarju. Zanimivo je:
»Najprej se Vam moram mnogim opravičiti, ker Vam nisem voščil velikonočnih praznikov. Opravičiti se moram tudi tistim, ki že dolgo čakate odgovor na Vaše pismo. Vsaj 50 je takih in ne morem vsega napisati trenutno na roko. Zato tokrat okrožnica vsem. Vseeno upam, da boste tako, kot do Vas pride, z veseljem sprejeli.
Velikonočne praznike si tukaj prav iz srca voščimo, saj je to tudi čas, ko smo odrešeni ciklonov in povodnji. Podnebje postaja bolj usmiljeno in raznih epidemij je manj. No, eno sem srečal na podružnici prejšnjo nedeljo. Gripa je v dveh tednih pobrala 17 otrok. Skoraj pri vsaki hiši so imeli koga na ležišču. V par minutah so razgrabili zdravila, ki jih imamo navadno vedno nekaj s seboj, ko gremo na pot.
Bolničarja imajo v vasi, zdravil pa celo leto nič. Vzpodbujam jih, da spet začno uporabljati zdravilna zelišča, kot so jih nekoč njihovi predniki (vrači). Več knjig, kjer so opisana zdravilna zelišča in bolezni, katere ta zelišča zdravijo, sem jim prinesel. Pred leti, ko je še bilo nekaj »belskih« (kemičnih) zdravil, so se
nanje navadili in opustili zdravljenje z zelišči. Danes, ko je zdravila vedno težje dobiti, so pa v stiski.
Kot zanimivost
naj Vam povem, da sva s protestantskim pastorjem pred Veliko nočjo poslala dve odprti pismi. Eno vsem vaškim poglavarjem (nad 50 jih je), drugo pa civilnim oblastem v kraju. Povabila sva jih, da bi skupaj razmislili in poiskali rešitve nekaterim problemom, ki kvarijo vaško življenje. Spregovorila sva o narodnih običajih, katerih se še na zunaj zelo držijo. Mladi pa ne vedo več njihovega smisla in zavračajo površno vse, tudi tisto, kar je dobro, kar so narodne vrednote. Pretirano zapravljanje ob raznih običajih (pogreb, spomin pokojnih, obreza) vodi v obubožanje. Kako ohraniti dobre običaje in jih posodobiti ali celo pokristjaniti?
Veliko je nezakonskih otrok. Včasih, ko je bilo klansko življenje še zelo močno, to ni bil nobeden problem. Za vsakega otroka so enako skrbeli. Bil je last celega klana. Vedno težje življenje je zelo zrahljalo klansko povezanost. Zato morajo skoraj vedno le matere skrbeti za nezakonskega otroka. Potem ni čudno, da ne zmorejo bremena vzgoje. Kaj storiti, da bo vsak oče sprejel, priznal za svojega, otroka? Kako pomagati mladim k odgovornemu starše-stvu?
Kako preprečiti, da ne bodo mamila povsem uničila našo mladino in potomstvo? Kako stopiti na prste tistim, ki prinašajo in prodajajo mamila in se na ta račun brezvestno bogatijo s tem, da na moderen način zastrupljajo ljudi?
Obstoji vaški zakon, po katerem mora vsak odrasel moški obdelovati zemljo in vsako leto pokazati sad svojega dela. Tisti, ki naj bi kontrolirali spoštovanje tega zakona iz strahu ne upajo ukrepati. Kako tudi temu odpomoči?
Kaj pravzaprav hočemo s Srednjo šolo, ki je v našem kraju? Vsako leto manjka učiteljev. Uro ali dve pouka vsak dan. Otroci se ne učijo, niti ne pomagajo staršem pri delu. Navajajo se k brezdelju in postopanju.
Tka in še mnoga druga
vprašanja sva zastavila in tudi nakazala nekatere rešitve. Obe pismi sta vzbudili veliko zanimanja in debatiranja. Že so se sestali vsi odrasli moški
in razmišljali, iskali. V sredo se bodo zbrale vse ženske, nato še mladina posebej. Kristjani — katoličani in protestanti bomo vsak posebej razmišljali in pripravili predloge, potem se bomo sestali in skupno nastopili pred vaško občino, ki je v večini nekrščanska, pa z zaupanjem pričakuje našo krščansko pomoč za izboljšanje vaškega življenja. Mislim, da imamo tu kristjani čudovito priložnost in obenem odgovornost, da se izkažemo kot ‘luč in sol zemlje’.
Še ena posebnost: Halleyev komet smo nekaj časa lahko občudovali. Danes zjutraj ob štirih sem se od njega poslovil, saj se, vsaj uradno, ne bo več videl. Vsak večer, pozno v noč, je bilo moje dvorišče polno otrok in odraslih, ki so skozi daljnogled iskali po nebu in s prav otroškim veseljem vpili: »Vidim ga, vidim ga!«
Slovencev nas je na Madagaskarju 18. Dela imamo vsi dovolj in nihče nas zaenkrat ne ovira pri delu. Gotovo, da so razmere precej težke in je potrebna precejšnja mera optimizma in potrpežljivosti, posebno nam duhovnikom, ki ne žanjemo vedno, čeprav vztrajno sejemo. Verjetno imajo naši laični misijonarji pri tem več zadovoljstva, pa zato morda več fizičnega napora. Okrog dispanzerjev se vsak dan zbirajo trume bolnih, ki potrpežljivo sedijo po tleh in čakajo na vrsto.
Veselite se z menoj, ker se božje kraljestvo na Madagaskarju vztrajno širi, in to tudi po moji in Vaši zaslugi. Vsem in vsakemu moj lep pozdrav.
Janez Puhan.«

Maksimilijan Milanez:
Ob koncertu »Slovenske pesmi« v Chicagu
Mimogrede iz Milwaukeeja
(Nadaljevanje s str. 2)
(II. del)
— Zbor Gallus, univerza Wisconsin v Milwaukeeju —
Zbor Gallus je delo in skrb prof. Leona Muškatevca, korenjaka, ki se mu vidi, da je naše gore list. Naše tradicije globoko zadevajo njegovo dejavnost.
V primerjavi z gibčno in vidno niansirano go. M. Bregantov©, je prof. Muškatevec manj »uren«, toda globok in tiho preudaren pevovodja. Z vso resnobo izbira program in samo najboljše daje na oder. Nima priložnosti za utrjevanje pevske kvalitete (zgolj) pri sv. mašah, marveč v žrtvovanih urah privatnih odpovedi. Pevke in pevci so mu zanesljivi, dasi ne mnogoštevilni. Rad bi uresničeval svoje ideale s širšo udeležbo, kar bi brez dvoma zagotovilo gromovito celoto.
Poslušalec Gallusovega petja ima stalen vtis, da resnoba vodje prehaja na pevce, na harmonijo, dinamiko in, končno, tudi nanj, v sleherno klop. Vsi se združujejo v eno, v duh in namen pesnitve. Tihota vlada, dih je zadržan, ker tako zahteva to spajanje odra s publiko.
»Mirabile Mysterium« je peteroglasni sklad melodije in verskega občutka, ki veje skozi skrivnosti notranjega doživetja in zaniha naše misli na valove večnosti.
»Očenaš«, nam znano molitev, pretopi iz vsakdanjega besedila v zanosno počastitev in prošnjo in sicer na način, ki podvoji učinek in nujnost pogovora z Gospodom. Pesem »Smeji se maj« je na videz sproščena, a v resnici globoka prispodoba majniškega češče-nja. Splet glasov nam dočara številne, med seboj povezane odtenke*prazničnega ugodja.
Naslednja točka, »Spevi najlepši«, je zamisel našega p. Vendelina, kot kombinacija poezije in vere, kar je on že tolikokrat uspešno zedinil v en dehteči šopek. Hvaležni smo Gallusu, da je to pesem vključil v svoj program; saj je to poroštvo, da bo odpeto kvalitetno, na željeni višini. Vendar je to bila edina pesem, kateri g. pater — edini — ni ploskal! Kolika intimna skromnost!
»Mati«, pesem Lojzeta Mava, nas je spomnila tistih mater, ki na majniško pobožnost gledajo kot na blesteče priznanje in vdanost, česar pa one niso deležne v vsakdanjem življenju. Gotski sklad, ki je tudi sicer prevejal Gallusovo
prireditev, je dal takim izbranim materam posebno zadoščenje.
Zadnja njihova točka, »Zdaj je pomlad«, delo Franceta Cigana, naj bi nas spomnila cvetočih poljan, ob vrnitvi v vsakdanje povprečje.
S tem je epopeja dragih gostov zaključena, ob vidnem zadoščenju občinstva in ob splošni želji, da bi oba zbora ostala prepojena z ljubeznijo do naših del in da bi še naprej koristila vse možnosti za vzdrževanje in stopnjevanje ugleda naši glasbeni omiki.
Pevski zbor Slovenska Pesem, Chicago—Joliet
Ta zbor je bil nosilec in glavni organizator prireditve. Prevzel je tudi pretežni del programa, s posvetitvijo celokupnega večera slovenskemu velikanu na področju glasbe, prof. Matiju Tomcu. Vendar se p. Vendelin ni mogel ustaviti na samo eni zvezdi, zato je dodal še druge pesmi, domače in tuje, vse pa opremil z orkestrom, ki ga sestavljajo študentje univerze Roosevelt. To je dvignilo raven nastopa zelo visoko.
Najprvo je p. Vendelin izvabil iz orkestra venček mikavnih, zelo priljubljenih slovenskih melodij, ki jih je on sam priredil in zaokrožil po svojem prikupnem okusu. Med igranjem so se zbrali pevci. Sledila je pestra kombinacija uma in srca, molitve in zanosa ter pozdrava materam, vse v enem sproščenem vencu. Vedrina je je vendarle pokazala samo dvakrat in sicer pri pesmih »Vrabček, mlad lenuh« in »Kaj pa delajo ptički«. Vse ostalo je imelo resnejši pomen.
Poslušali smo mogočno, harmonično bogato Tomčevo pesnitev »Križev pot — Osma postaja«. Otvoritev je v razpetem sedmeroglasnem duru, ki se proti koncu razvije v potresni mol, spremljaje Gospoda iz rane v rano, ob krčevitem joku jeruzalemskih žena. V tem se zrcali tudi naša življenjska pot. Solo je pel basist Gregor Rožman.
Drugo barvo Tomčevih melodij, sanjavo in zaverovano obenem, smo srečali koj v naslednji pesmi »Majska noč«, z dehtečo liriko in svežostjo.
Nato so na vrsti naše matere, ki jim skladatelj Lojze Mav
plete nežen venec. Pevci se zavedajo vseh namenskih motivov in jih prenašajo na poslušalce brez izgub. Občuti se, da oni prejemajo s pritrjevanjem in da se ta val prenaša še daleč naprej. Združevanje prehaja v amalgamirano enoto. »Mati moja, venec pletem«, je tak mehak izraz vdanosti, človeški in nebeški Materi hkrati.
Do vrhunca stapljanja in vdiranja v publiko pride ob celotnem izvajanju mogočne Gounodove kantate »Lamen-tationes«, svarilne žalostinke, ki roti izraelsko ljudstvo, naj se vrne Gospodu, ker bo spreobrnitev spet oživela Jeruzalemu nekdanji sloves. Sprva je stvaritev le rahla in dopovedljiva, vendar že vzvišena. Lorraine Gornick nam je z izredno glasovno barvo in z nujnim poudarkom docela izrazila skladateljevo čuvstvo in zasluženo požela izjemno priznanje. Ko se temu pridruži zbor, doživlja opus svoj maksimum in potresno-veličanstveno zajame vso publiko. To je vrhunec koncerta, tako za pevce in orkester kot prevzeto občinstvo, ki je vstalo, da bi očitneje izkazalo ganjenost in zanos.
Do podobnega stika s publiko je prišlo trenutek pozneje, ob mogočni izvedbi »Battle Hymn of the Republic«, ki kraljuje nad koralnimi himnami. Dasi je ta pesem bojevita, se čuvstveno združuje z zaupanjem v resnico in Boga ter upravičenost spopada. Le-to se z glasbenimi efekti preliva v naraščajočo glorifikacijo božje pravičnosti: Boj se vije za obrambo resnice in je božja pomoč neodložljiva; vstajenje (Aleluja) je na obzorju...
Melodija je toliko skladna s tem besedilom in hkrati tako topla, da prevzema ne le malo-dušne, marveč tudi neomahlji-ve. Povsem preprosti glasbeni motivi v mikavnem preoblikovanju vžgejo veličasten in nepretrgan učinek. Občinstvo je sprejelo to himno s takšno vnemo, da je bila ponovitev neizogibna. Orkester je s čistimi zvoki (zlasti tu trobenta in klarinet) darežljivo oplemenil ritem in barvo ubrane celote.
Konec koncerta je bil izveden v skupnem nastopu vseh treh skupin z orkestrom vred. Spet dve zanosni skladbi: »Pozdravljena Kraljica« in »Stvarniku«, obe izpod peresa vrlega vodje p. Vendelina. Prva je namenjena Materi božji, njenem češčenju in prošnji za varstvo. Pestra je v motivih ter razvedena v lirkse in epske odtenke, ki se naposled zlijejo v svoj »magnificum« in izpolnijo hrepenenje po totalni utehi. Zadnje takte preveva plamen upanja in vdanosti.
Zaključna skupna točka je bila oda »Stvarniku«, ki je obudil življenje, zasejal puščave in sprostil ptice pevke. Baritonski solist dr. Vidmar in solistka Dawn Vidmar, mezzosopran, sta skladno izpolnjevala
Vreme za letošnji spominski praznik je bilo bolj oblačno, po Parku je med drevesi pihal hladen vetrič. Listi na visokih hrastih in lističi na nežnih lipi-cah in grmičevju so ob vetrcu na lahko drsteli v skrivnostnem šuštenju, kot nekak znak globokega žalovanja, žalovanja, ker v zadnjih letih v Parku ni več videti in slišati Ludvig Veselovega vriskanaj, ni več videti in slišati po triglavskih potkah vojaškega koraka smehljajočega Tonija Strmška, in ni več videti in slišati koraka postavnega in elegantnega Franca Rozine.
V mali Triglavski cerkvici na zidu je postavljenih še devet imen društvenih članov in članic: Marjan Zovič, župnik in duhovni vodja rev. Klavdij Okorn, Marija Kunovar, Rok in Antonija Kunovar, Herta in Ernest Majhenič, Lojze Jaklič in Anton Prah. Vseh teh pokojnih članov in članic, kateri počivajo v večnem spanju že dolgo vrsto let, smo se pri sv. maši v kapelici sv. Cirila in Metoda spominjali z vsem spoštovanjem.
Ker je ta kapelica posvečena tudi našim padlim antikomu-nističnim borcem, je na koncu žalne maše spregovoril Trigla-van in predsednik SPB Tabor Ludvik Kolman, ki je v svojem jedrnatem govoru med drugim omenil, da letos poteka 40 let od nasilne smrti poveljnika domobrancev gen. Leona Rupnika. Govoril je in počastil tudi spomin ameriških padlih vojakih, ki so se borili proti komunizmu na vseh delih zemeljske oble. Opisal je nato komunistična grozodejstva v drugi svetovni vojni in junaštvo domobrancev ter polagal na srce mlajšim ljudem, naj ne nasedajo brezbožni, lažni komunistični propagandi.
Govor so sprejeli člani in članice ter prijatelji, ki so se udeležili letošnjega spominskega praznika v velikem številu, v globokem razumevanju in odobravanju. Spominsko svečanost je zaključil pevski zbor z domobransko pesmijo Bog-Mati-Domovina.
to vmesno fazo z vso natančnostjo, ko sta iznašala Stvarnikove darove pred človeka, da bi ga zadolžila in privolila k izpovedi. Do izpovedi pride v močnem, enotnem klicu: »Verujem — vate in v neumr-jočo dušo«, kar pomeni popolno spra\*> človeka z Bogom. Imenitnejšega zaključka pač ne bi mogli najti za to svečano uprizoritev, saj so to le sinonimi preroške Resnice, ki pravi: »Jaz sem začetek in konec«.
Opombe
Vsebinsko in oblikovno je ta koncert prekašal vse dosedanje. Vendar je še ostalo prostora za zboljšave, tako v organizaciji kot v umetniški kvaliteti. Današnje doživetje bo bržkone k temu prispevalo.

Bilo je že okrog 1. popoldne, ko so v Triglavskem domu pridne kuharice in točaji postregli z okusnim kosilom in hladno pijačo. Razvil se je prijateljski razgovor. V zavesti, da smo se tudi letos na ta dan z vsem spoštovanjem spomnili naših dragih, smo se zadovoljni vračali na svoje domove.
Umetnost na odru
Kulturna sezona 1985/86 se v juniju konča. Ker sva bila z žeoo še kar pri dobrem zdravju in (udi zima ni bila preveč slaba, sva lahko prisostvovala slovenskemu pevskemu koncertu zbora Gallus in zboru Uspeh. Uživala sva klasično glasbo na 14 koncertih mil-wauškega simfoničnega orkestra, na enem katerih je januarja letos gostoval svetovno znani jugoslovanski pianist Ivo Pogorelič.
Bila sva navzoča tudi na 7 koncertih čikaškega simfoničnega orkestra. Zadnji je bil 2. junija. Bila sva tudi pn tre baletnih večerih in treh opernih predstavah. Balet Čajkovskega »Labodje jezero« in Pa Verdijeva »Rigoletto« bosta ostala v posebno lepem spominu. Tudi slikarske in kiparske razstave v raznih galerijah so vredne obiska.
Vsako leto v poletnih mesecih se pričenjajo razni pikniki, zabave na prostem in tudi pev ski in glasbeni koncerti v raznih parkih. Naj bo nam vsem prijetno v poletnih mesecih!

Ob koncertu Slovenske pesmi...
(Nadaljevanje s str. 4)
Ena pripomba prihaja od poslušalcev iz zadnjih klopi: Cerkev ni dovolj akustična! Če bi se pelo s prižnice, bi bila razlika, saj so cerkve zgrajene za takšno reciprociteto. Razmerje med ladjo in oltarjem ne more nuditi enakega ugodja. O tem bodo premišljevali za bodoča srečanja s poslušalci. Odmev tudi delno vpliva na čistost zvoka.
Uspeh se zvišuje tudi s pripravami. Mišljene tu so skupne vaje, ki naj vtirijo prizadevanja čim natančneje. Ovire so tehnične, zato teže premostljive. Izbira datuma ima večji pomen, kot se navadno predvideva.
Potrebna so tudi pogostejša srečanja med nastopajočimi in občinstvom. Tokrat se je udeležencem koncerta nudil prijazen sprejem s prigrizkom v dvorani Sv. Štefana. Nastale so sproščene debate med manjšimi skupinami, na katerih je beseda tekla o marsičem, tudi o glasbeni kulturi teh krajev. Taka srečanja bi lahko služila tudi kot prilika za rahlo vabljenje dosedaj neaktivne mladine in tistih, ki čutijo, da jim tli pod srcem želja za sodelovanje. Dejal bi, da takih ni malo, ki se brez pravega vzroka obotavljaljo pristopiti.
Ob koncu naj izrazim priznanje in hvaležnost vsem, ki so blagohotno prispevali k uspehu prireditve s svojim delom, s pecivom, oglasi, reklamo in na drugih načinih. To je seme, ki bo obrodilo s stoterimi sadovi.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, JUNE 6, 1986
The Rojškova family comes to America
By John Nielsen (Continued from past issue) The eldest daughter of Frank and Grace, Elizabeth has raised a family of her own. Her eldest daughter is in turn raising a family, so that Elizabeth is already a grandmother. The two unmarried children are aspiring to professional careers, Connie attending Cleveland State, and Christopher is at Case Western, where he is a top student. (I hope he knows about the Nielsen Trust.)
Gale pursued a religious career and is now a nun in the Ursuline Order. She is an ambitious lady,, having already earned two master’s degrees: one from John Carroll, and one from St. John’s College, and she also holds a certificate as Pastoral Counselor from Case Western. Currently, she is the pastoral minister at the Holy Martyrs Church in Medina, Ohio.
Donald, the second son of Frank, Jr. is a Cathedral Latin graduate and holds degrees from John Carroll. With all this academic work he and his wife still have managed to raise quite a large family of their own, six children.
Michael, the youngest member of the Frank and Grace family attended Northwestern, and shows considerable promise in the field of advertising. His wife is a teacher of retarded children in a private school.
Recalling the keen desire of Frank, Jr. to get his high school diploma, it is nice to know that his own family now bristles with academic degrees. As to Grace, it should be mentioned that her children liken her to Roza, her mother-in-law. As Rosa, Grace was dedicated to her family, caring little for her personal comforts and pleasures, and determined that her children grow up in good health, both in body and in spirit.
Phillip Marn, the third son of Frank, Sr., also left high school before finishing to go into the grocery business to help the family. The first chance he got he bought a store in Euclid on East 222nd Street. The depression of the ’30s however dampened its growth and he had to give up the grocery business. He was naturally bright and so he quickly got a job at Eaton Axle as a comptroller.
This yielded him a steady and fairly good income, enough to insure raising a large family which he and Phyllis, his wife wanted. There were eight children, the largest second generation family of the Ro-jsheks in the States. Phil liked Collinwood and the family lived in a house he and Phyllis bought near his work. He was most loyal to his family and unlike his father ran his household perhaps firmly but with kindness, as did his wife. He was highly regarded at Eaton and this assured him the security he needed for raising his large family, a sense of security which he transferred to his children. They were all raised as good churchgoers, there was always ample food on the table, and adequate clothing for all.
Phil and Phyllis raised five
girls and three boys, seven of whom married, and six of them raising their own families today. There are now numerous grandchildren, and even two great grandchildren, with more on the way (17th generation Rojsheks).
Theresa, the youngest daughter of Phil and Phyllis, married Jim Polšak of a musically talented family, the grandfather, Leo Polšak, having been president of Zarja, the largest Singing Slovenian Society of Cleveland, and now Jim’s father, Edwin Polšak, is currently president, and has also been for 45 years the piano accompanyist for Zarja.
The Phil-Phyllis Marn family has dispersed itself widely across the United States. Marlene married Bob Suhadolnik and they are raising a family in the Los Angeles area, while Lillian married Charles Steele, and living in Florida, raising a family of two children, both promising students.
Frank, Jr. married Grace Calhoun, and they had six children, five of them still living, and three of whom have raised families of their own, as can be seen by the accompanying chart.
The eldest son of Frank and Grace, William, graduated as a chemical engineer and now works at General Electric. Bill has raised a family, and the children, now grown up, have entered various professions, of which Frank, Jr. would have been most proud. Bill’s oldest daughter Kathy is married to a Steve Croche and they are expecting their first child shortly. Jane, the second daughter in the family has a degree in biology from Hiram College. Bill, Jr. is following his father, studying chemical engineering at Edinborough University.
Willie, the fourth son of Frank, Sr., married Mary Kos and had two boys, John Phillip and Joseph, and a daughter, Jean. Willie also worked in the family store, bu. he did not take to business as a career, and he opted for employment at Eaton Axle where his brother Phil was influential'in getting Willie on the company rolls. His wife Mary was to die young, 44, when the children were still in school and he carried on as best as he could without remarrying. His eldest son, John Phillip married Joyce Palikowski and is raising two children, Lisa and Stacy. Joseph married Cecilia Lam, but sometime after a daughter. Cecilia Marina, was born, they were divorced.
Joan is now married, her second marriage, to Zachary Franklin, a veterinarian. Both are now in Florida, having moved from Columbus, Ohio, where Zak will pursue his veterinary practice, and Joan has already become chief clinical dietician at Doctor’s Hospital in Coral Gables. Joan worked her way through college at Ohio State, doing work as a departmental secretary, got her B.S. in Nutrition and is now a registered Dietician (R.D.). She is still pursuing higher education and hopes in due course to obtain a masters
degree in her field. She is most active in the American Dietetic Association, being chairperson of one committee or another from time to time. (I personally consult Joan concerning my diet for cholesterol control.) Joan has an athletic side: she water skiis, plays tennis, jogs, and has been recently certified as a scuba diver.
Rose, the only daughter of Frank, Sr. and Roza, has been married and widowed twice. She had four children by her first marriage, three sons and one daughter. Her son Harold is on the coast and is a successful restaurant manager.
This newsletter began with a discussion about the evolution of the peasant class. It will close with a discussion of the
question of the fundamental motivation behind the emigration of the peasant to America, what happened to that class, and some comments on the ones who stayed behind in Europe.
As mentioned earlier the serf peasant was freed in Slovenia in the March 1848 revolt, as part of the series of peasant revolts taking place all over Europe as a consequence of the French revolution. Yet vestiges of this class system was sufficiently embedded in the social web of Europe to remain a part of the culture. And indeed these vestiges even had their traces in this country brought over by the immigrants. Lord Calvert had every intention of adopting the
Holmes Pensioners visit their money in Fed. Bank
by Joseph Gornick
A busload of Holmes Slovenian Club Pensioners visited the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Superior and East 6th Street on Monday, May 19.
It is the Fourth District Headquarters of our Nation’s Central Bank, one of the 12 District Banks established in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act.
The 30th story building was built in 1923 and employs 750 persons.
Entry to the bank lobby is through heavy bronze doors flanked by classical statues representing security and integrity. Black wrought iron screens decorate as well as protect the rows of banking windows. The main vaults are housed in a free standing two story structure* within the bank.
Entrance is through a massive steel door that weighs 100 tons, but is so delicately balanced, it can be opened and closed manually. Currency, coins and securities are stored in the vaults.
The largest operation is nationwide check clearing service. Nine out of ten dollars spent by Americans is spent in a form of a check. Every day over one million checks are cleared, sorted and tabulated, and credited and debited to the proper depository institutions account.
Money is put into circulation that is minted or printed by the U.S. Treasury Department. Damaged and worn bills are taken out of circulation. Bills which look counterfeit are send to the Secret Service.
During the year over $220 billion bills are examined. Of this amount, about 35*70 is shredded.
This is also a bank for the U.S. government, the world’s largest. Most federal tax (payroll withholdings and checks to the Internal Revenue Service) eventually are deposited in the Government’s account at a Federal Reserve Bank. Government agencies draw checks on these accounts
to pay for everything from Social Security to torpedoes.
This bank holds no accounts for individuals, but only for depository institutions and for the U.S. Government.
This concluded our exciting and educational tour which was enjoyed by all.
We were bused to the Collinwood Slovenian Home and were served a delicious meal. Many, thanks to our member John Habat who supervised this tour.
Our next tour is booked for Monday, June 16. All passengers are to be at the hall by 9 a.m. We will board Lolly the Trolley for a Downtown Trolley tour. We will venture into the flats area, see University Circle, the main streets and much more. This tour made Mary Mary’s column in the Plain Dealer last week when an automobile was blocking the trolley path and five persons walking by picked up the errant car and moved it to the side so Barbara Pangonis, the tour guide, could continue.
John Habat’s motto is, “See Cleveland First.” He’s quite a guy, always promoting the city and its environments even though he spent a good part of his life in the Bahamas and Florida teaching waterskiing.
TV.e annual picnic of the Holmes Slovenian Pensioners Club will be held July 9 at 1 p.m. at St. Joseph Picnic Grove, 29412 White Rd. All pensioners and friends are cordially invited.
There is free admission with ample parking. Refreshments will be available at moderate prices. Music for dancing. Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.

feudal system of England in the colonization of Maryland, But it did not stick. The tie line to the mother country was much too long. And then there was the Age of Enlightenment emerging, and the ideas of the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights were too stimulating to pass up. And so those first immigrants, pioneers, really, look advantage of the new events and opted for individual freedom. There was land here, lots of it, quite different from what they left behind in Europe, and so what stabs there were to set up the peasant indentured to the land owner just never got anywhere.
The peasant class of Europe supplied the new wave of immigration to America in the late 1800s and the first part o the 1900s with some acceptance of the vestiges of the European class system. They came from Germany, Poland, Italy, Czechoslovakia, the Scandinavian countries and elsewhere, mostly from the country side, not from the cities. They came here not so much for freedom as did the Pilgrims, Puritans, and the Huguenots, but simply for the jobs in the mines, factories, and railroads that were becoming available in tne surge of the industrial revolution here. The immigrant s thinking was that once he accumulated some cash, a fc^j thousand dollars, he cou consider himself “rich”, an then he would see what to do—go back and buy t*1^ neighbor’s farm, or simp y start a farm here in America. The factory was not going 10 be his destiny—just a means to

Migrants. They were expected to preserve the nostalgic culture of the homeland. The second generation, usually in arge families, were urged to Marry within the ethnic group, earn the trades of the parent, °n a higher level to be sure, uy a house, and revel in the Merican gimmicks: cars, gashing	machines,
‘Mrigerators, etc. Getting an education was not too much ucouraged, because this was a e raying of his class, the pea-nt class. What the peasant " Ming here did not realized fas l”at there was a powerful hjrce> a deep motivation for coming here. Hemingway’s *n loopard high up in the Pcs of Mount Kilimanjaro nat Pte^ one °f the climbing leo y t0 ask “Why was that h°Pard there”?

pearpH0,ecule that first ap-t° See.a ready had the instinct When th 3 new ouviroument ho present one became
depleted of nutrients, daring to venture forth to further reaches of the warm seas. Later when biological evolution produced animals, they, too, roamed the surface of the land mass, staying close to the waters, but seeking ever new niches for a better survival probability. And when man came on the scene some three-eight million years ago, probably in the tundra and forests of Africa, he too fanned out, first to Asia, then to what is now Europe, and eventually across the Bering straits, down into the new American continents, all the way to the tip of South America.
And so the same evolutionary laws were behind to a great degree in the epic emigration of the Europeans to America. Some 70 million made it here since Columbus. Did they do the right thing? Of course they did, or rather, they did the natural thing, which was the right thing. Yes, they came here but quite willing to make sacrifices, undergoing hardships that may have been spared, had they stayed home — hardships which they bore willingly, not so much just for themselves, but for the children to come. This was not all thought out in advance, it just happened. It is an interesting question on just how much is built into man genetically to make this sacrifice for the future progeny. I read once that in Poland the government imposed sacrifices on the people with the lure that there was a good future in store—not so much for those who are .

Q. I have heard that cancer of the stomach is now rare in this country. Can this be explained?
A. There has been a remarkable decline in the incidence of cancer of the stomach in the United States during the past 40 years, and it now accounts for less than 4 percent of all cancers. It remains very common in Japan; and Japanese people living in the Western United States and Hawaii have a higher incidence than other racial groups. However, this incidence is higher in Japanese immigrants than in their American-born offspring, suggesting that as the generation adapts a more American lifestyle the risks of stomach cancer are reduced.
The decline of stomach cancer in this country still remains unexplained, and medical science cannot take credit for it. The most likely explanation is that there has been a decline in something in the environment which causes this form of cancer. The substance was probably something in food which is still present in the diet preferred by native Japanese.
among the living today, but for future generations. Yes, how much is built into our genetic code to sacrifice the individual for the community, for the people for a nation for future generations? The lemmings run headlong into the sea, committing mass suicide but not all perish. There are a few that survive, and this seems to be satisfactory. There is this marvelous Swiss story of a famous hero. A battalion is confronted by an enemy bat-• talion. The weapon is the onlyspear. One brave soldier breaks rank and runs forward, grabbing to himself all the spears directed toward him. At this moment there is the open opportunity to attack and attack they do, as the opposing spears are all occupied with this one soldier who sacrificed himself for the battalion. And it is this question that one ^ asks:whether the sacrifices made by those early Slovenes coming to Cleveland were sacrificies for families still to come— an instinctive desire to preserve the human species?
But what of the stay-at-homes? Are they any lesser members of the species in evolutionary terms? Not really. They march to the beat of a more distant drummer, to quote Thoreau’s observation of the odd man out. Man is not an animal, but a sublime product of evolutionary biology, with cultures that he has created and which he wants to preserve. Those who remained behind were keepers
of the flame of Slovenia, preserving the self-esteem that a culture gives to a fine people, living on a beautiful land. It seems that preserving the culture of one’s forbears is worth making sacrifices for, indeed worth fighting for, as Slovenians must have many times in their past history.
So we must bow to both noble souls: the peasant who came to the States following the instinct to fine better niches for the survival of his family, and in the long run, for the human species, sacrificing the old culture of his forbears, but acquiring a new one; and to the souls who stayed behind to keep Slovenian consciousness alive. Both are noble causes. Each individual should be free to choose what he wishes to be, wht he wants to struggle for.

News of Rojshek-Nielsen Trusts Grantees
Mateja Dimnik spent her summer vacation in London last year, a city she has become fond of. She hobnobs with an art group there.
Manca Sesek is now the proud possessor of a Commodore 64 computer, and also a 175-power zoom bilogical microscope. She is aspiring to enter the medical research field. Recently, she was on Ljubljana TV getting some kind of award for her winning in a nation-wide ping-pong tournament. She won as the best of her age class (to 15 years old), although Manca is only 12.
John Gasiewski spent last year in West Germany, attending the University of Munich among other things. He is a German literature scholar at the University of Chicago. He and his brother Albin, a graduate student at MIT, visited the editor in New York over the Christmas holidays.
John Sesek, Wendel Cerne, Jay Mocilnikar, and Albin Gasiewski, all of the Nielsen Trust talent search committee, have come up with four prospective Nielsen Trust grantees for the coming year. Majda Dimnik, Tomi Mihelich, Marko Plevnik and Mateja Dimnik have reported three new potential grantees for the Rojshek Trust.

Ethnic Crimes Bill Passes Senate
Amended Senate Bill 316, introduced by State Senator Lee
I.	Fisher (D-Shaker Heights) passed the Ohio Senate by a vote of 32-0. The legislation will increase criminal and civil penalties for persons who commit acts of vandalism, intimidation, or violence motivated by ethnic or religious bias.
“This bill addressed the serious and growing problem Ohio is facing with regard to ethnic vandalism and intimidation. We have seen crosses burned recently in front of the homes of black families, and the vandalism, assaults and harassment of Jewish citizens went up last year in Ohio, even though there was a decrease nationally,” says Senatcrr Fisher.

Sadly four siblings have gone to their heavenly reward, in Lorain, Rosie Oerne and Albina Korab, and James Macerol (Whitehouse Cafe Owner) and Louis Urbančič of Euclid. Our 80 year celebrant first saw the light of day on May 25, 1906. He was born on East 54th St. formerly Keiper St. which was north of St. Clair Avenue. The street no longer exists as the land was converted to industrial use. His proud parents, Frank and his wife Rose (nee Jančar) carried him to Our Sorrowful Mother church located in Ulman’s Hall (now Hofbrau Haus). There he was christened by the Pastor Rev. Kazimer Zakrajšek, OEM, who later founded Lemont Monastery.
In 1907 the Sorrowful Mother church was disbanded and members of the church joined St. Vitus parish.

80th birthday by reminiscing
Tragedy entered into his family when his father was run over by a train while taking a short-cut walk to his factory. The widowed mother was forced to take the reins of the family and did her best to take care of her three youngsters. In time she remarried, her second husband being Louis Urbančič.
The family grew three to seven with the passing years and in 1927, the operation of milk dairy, Willow Farm was bflgun at 1172 Norwood. The dairy prospered and in a short time gained the reputation of the best chocolate milk in the city in addition to its fine milk products. Frank was the manager of the Willow Farm Dairy.
World War II forced the closing of the dairy when its workers were drafted into service and in 1942 Frank was compelled to work in a war plant.
A few years earlier Frank married his pretty sweetheart,
Frank “Mac” Macerol
Jean Hlad in St. Vitus church. Monsignor B.J. Ponikvar performed the wedding ceremony, the date was October 15, 1938.
The new employment was at the Marquette Metal Division of Curtiss-Wright in Collin-wood near Five Points. Frank was also the plant’s union local NO. 527 UAW president and soon established the pension plan for the employees.
In 1962, the factory closed its doors and Frank retired, but two years later he went back to work for McDowell Engineer-
ing until he retired permanently in 1972.
Mac is a lifelong parishioner of St. Vitus church, and is also a member of No. 25 KSKJ St. Vitus Lodge and AMLA No. 40, Clairwoods, for over sixty years.
In his younger days, Frank attended St. Vitus grade school and also furthered his education at Ohio Business Institute and Central Institute.
Frank along with his wife Jean always make sure their home on Norwood Rd. is surrounded by beautiful roses, geraniums, and impatiens flowers. A few years ago, Frank and Jean received a special commendation from the City of Cleveland for their colorful floral display.
We wish, along with his many friends, a sincere hope that Frank will continue for many more years since such a wonderful person as Frank enriches every human being that meets him along the road of life.
Slomšek Circle to Lemont June 28
by Joseph Zelle
Every year, the Slomšek Circle of Cleveland sponsors a pilgrimage to the Franciscan monastery in Lemont, II. This year the trip is scheduled for the week-end of June 28th.
The chartered bus will leave from St. Mary’s in Collin-wood at 6 a.m. on Saturday, June 28. It will make a stop at the Baraga home on St. Clair Ave. and E. 63rd St. and depart at 7:00 a.m. The bus will return to Cleveland on Sunday night arriving at Baraga Home about 10:30 p.m. and at St. Mary’s on Holmes Ave. at about 11:00 p.m.
A package price of $75:00 includes the bus fare, meals and rooms at the monastery, and
other minor incidentals. Reservations can be made with Mr. Miklavčič in the St. Christine area; Mr. John Pro-sen in the St. Mary’s Collin-wood area (486-2394) as well as Mr. John Petrič at (481-3762); and Ms. Julka Smole (391-6547) or Mr. Vinko Rožman (881-2852) for St. Vitus.
Those Slovenian Catholics who have attended this pilgrimage in past years already know what a rich religious experience it is. A lighted candle procession on Saturday evening highlights the evening services. Then on Sunday morning, a visit is made to the grave of our saintly exiled Slovenian bishop, Gregory Rožman. Likewise
Madam Jul
(Continued from page 12)
Jul also has a dating service. The Madam was on the cover of Industry Magazine on Feb. 25, 1974 during oil crisis, and did two commercials for C. Miller Chevrolet. Dorothy Fuldheim once told her to keep doing her thing, as she is doing a lot of good for people. Chief Prosecutor Craig Albert of Geauga County also praised her for her work especially with teenage girls.
Julia Adamic Jarmusch formerly lived on East 66th Street, and is the widow of Thomas, who died two years
ago. Her parents were John and Julia Adamic, deceased, and she graduated from St. Vitus School in the Class of 1928. Jul has two daughters who are dance teachers, Vivian Thomas of Las Vegas, and Sharon Fleming of Mentor, Ohio.
Some of Madam Jul’s upcon-ing performances include: Lakeland College Benefit for Muscular Dystrophy, June7, SNPJ Farm, June 29; Divine Word Church Festival, Kirtland, Ohio, July 12, and 13; and AMLA Family Day, Aug. 17,1986.
the executed 12,000 Slovenes, during the post-war revolution, are remembered in prayer.
Everyone is wecomed to join in the pilgrimage. However, only 45 seats are available on the chartered bus.
Area Eligible for $5 million for sewers
Ohio Representative Ronald Šuster (D-Euclid) announced the Northeast Regional Sewer District is eligible for $5,521,462 in federal Construction grant funds to help fund the design of a sewage treatment plant.
The Construction Grants Program, authorized under the Clean Water Act hnd administered by the Ohio EPA, provides funding to Ohio municipalities for a portion of the cost of waste water treatment systems. The Construc-ton Grants program has made major contributions to improving the quality of Ohio’s waterways, including Lake Erie, by helping to provide sewage collection and treatment facilities at a cost affordable to local communities.
“Ohio communities benefit from the Construction Grants program by getting improved waste water treatment without having to pay the total cost themselves,” noted Warren Tyler, Director, Ohio EPA.

The procession came down the hill and ended at the Grotto where the Slovenian Litany was sung.
by Joseph Zelle
Some 300 Slovenian men and women gathered last Saturday evening on Providence Heights for a Marian devotion. The event was sponsored by the Slomšek Circle of Cleveland under the direction and supervision of Messers Vinko Rožman and Frank Urankar. The occasion was in celebration of May 23rd, first begun in 1976 at the Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia. The idea was to light one or more candles in the window of each Christian home participating in the affair that night.
At the Shrine of our Lady of Lourdes, at dusk, a procession with lighted candles was held through the Stations of the Cross. The rosary was recited in Slovenian and English, as the procession wound its way through the stations.
Participating in the procession and the services were the Right Reverend Bishop, Dr. Edward Pevec, Rev. Joseph Božnar, pastor of St. Vitus Church and his assistants, the Revs. John M. Kumše and Joseph Simčič, S.D.B. Also present was the Rev. F. Urbanija of Argentina, who is staying at St. Mary’s in Collin-wood.
After the stations, Bishop Pevec delivered the homily and Father Božnar gave a brief talk on the meaning and purpose of the religious devotion. The 12,000 treacherously slaughtered Slovenes were remembered. The services ended with Benediction.
Then the singing of the litany of our Lady took place, sung in Slovenian. Mr. Rudi Knez was the organist.
What an inspirational sight and sound the evening was. In the quiet cool evening dusk of the wooded grove, high above the boisterous wicked city, what a contrast. And some of these peaceful devout Slovenes, perhaps your own fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, and considered traitors in Slovenia and are unwelcomed to return to their native country. If everybody lived and behaved as these gentle people, there would be no crime and no wars. This religious ceremony should become an annual affair.

means. Some have other animals besides dogs like Garfield the cat and a duck belonging to Hagar the Horrible. There is a cartoon devoted entirely to animals by the title of “Animal Crackers.”
And it’s amazing how we all take for granted that the animals can speak or think. It must have come from Walt Disney and his talking mouse which eventually lost its tail. Are there any non-continuing cartoons that do not have animals in them?
The drawing which is really difficult for us to comprehend is “Marmaduke.” Some people laugh and laugh at the great dane dog until tears roll down their cheeks. We have difficulty understanding what’s so funny about a dog sleeping on the owner’s favorite rocking chair and the owner trying to trick him to get off. Must be something to it, though, because a large number of persons really love it.

On May 30 I read a newspaper obituary on the death of Lurene Tuttle, 79, an old time radio star.
She appeared as Lela Ransom on “The Great Gildersleeve,” as “Mean Widdle Kid’s” mother on the Red Skelton Comedy Show, and she was best remembered as Sam Spade’s secretary, Effie. The program always ended with her saying, “Goodnight, Sam,” and he then replied, “Goodnight Sweetheart.” Howard Duff was Sam Spade.
Miss Tuttle also played on many other radio shows such as Suspense, Grand Central Station, Lux Radio Theatre, etc. Old time radio buffs will remember her as a very versatile actress.

Madam Jul Will Read Your Lifeline
by Dan J. Postotnik
Sunday May 4,1986 was a rather special day for me, for it was on this day that I was reunited with a person from the old St. Vitus area, and had my fortune told for the first time in my life. I had not seen her to talk to in some 40 years or more. Since that time, she has taken on an unusual profession - the art of palm reading and fortune telling. She is JULIA JARMUSCH, the former Julia Adamic, and her professional name is MADAM JUL. Julia is probably the only Slovenian woman anywhere who plys this trade.
I felt very comfortable with her, talking about old times in her neat bungalow in Euclid, Ohio. She “hit the nail on the head” on several things, with a couple predictions still hanging in the balance. I sure hope and pray these will come true.
although only God has them in His hands.
Madam Jul is a very honest and forthright person. “I am a poor man’s psychiatrist and Dear Abby all rolled into one”, said the genial Madam, who has spent most of the last 17 years reading palms, giving advice to the depressed and lonely, and also playing matchmaker to the younger set. The 73 year old widow and grandmother cautions: “It is a sin to take fortune telling seriously. If I knew the future, I would be in Vegas or Washington.”
Many mothers whose children have drug problems, seek her advice. “They want me to scare them. But I tell the kids the real truth, that if they do not quit using drugs, they certainly will not live long.” Madam Jul is a tee-totaler, a non smoker, and is very high on good nutrition. She has a lot of fun in her life, and is proving to everyone that one can enjoy life to its fullest without all those harmful things including drugs. The
TV newscaster Virgil Dominic has his lifeline checked by Madam Jul
way you live today is how happy you will be tomorrow, she says.
If a woman is too serious when she visits her, she tells her: “You should go to a convent, kid, the nuns have more fun than you do.” Madam Jul clearly enjoys getting involved in the lives of others. The purpose of her work, she says, is to bring happiness, not to fleece people. She won’t take money from the poor, but for “those who want to throw away their money, I figure fortune telling is a lot better than spending it on booze.”
Madam Jul is not a mystic, or a spiritualist, does not take herself seriously, and you should not either. “I work on depressed people”, she continued, “people on dope, marijuana; I get them off of it. I try my best”. She calls herself a cheap psychiatrist, willing to listen and help people with all types of problems, from health and marriage to financial and social. She does not claim to know the future, only a little about the person whose hand she is holding and pointing a finger at. “Nobody knows the future, only God”, she often says, “If I knew I would be in Las Vegas, a wealthy woman.”
A former cleaning woman, Madam Jul was a typical housewife. That was before she performed a gypsy dance at a company Christmas party. Encouraged by husband and daughters, she threw in the mop and picked up her tambourine for good. “It sure beats scrubbing floors”, she said.
Today, she reads hundreds of palms a week, and has met many famous personalities, such as, Carol Channing, Don Rickies, Tom Jones, Tony Randall, Anthony Newley, Vic Damone, Liberace, Michael Stanley, Beverly Sills, et cetera. She has read two former Cleveland Indian baseball players, Mike Stanton Sid Monge. Calls for advice from US Senate aides. Appearing on a Jerry Lewis Telethon eight years ago. Madam Jul told Mac Davis he was going to get a divorce some day, have two children, and become a big star. She was right on all counts. Another correct prediction was the end of the baseball strike in July /e&. She also performed at a Birthday Party for Art Modeli some years ago, and has appeared at many Greater Cleveland restaurants, area hospitals, senior citizen homes, schools, and private parties.
“Anyone who wants to raise money for a good cause, I will go there and help them. I run especially if you are Slovenian,” she said. Madam Jul works free at nursing homes, church festivals, and fund raisers.
Parties are her specialty, and she loves to “ham it up” whenever the party gets a little dull. She puts her knowledge of dancing which she gained at
the St. Clair Recreation many years ago, to good use, an entertains with gypsy, and soft shoe dancing. Mada
