Saudski kralj Fahd odstavil naftnega ministra Ahmeda Zakija Jamanija — Znak rastočega vpliva Irana v OPEC-u
BRUSELJ, Bel. — Včeraj je saudski kralj Fahd odstavil 56-letnega naftnega ministra Ahmeda Zakija Jamanija in imenoval na to mesto dosedanjega ministra za načrtovanje Hišama Nazerja. Jamani je bil naftni minister 24 let in glavni arhitekt velikega skoka v ceni nafte v 70-ih letih. Po nekaterih vesteh naj bi bila saudska kraljevska družina v zadnjih letih nezadovoljna z Jamanijevimi stališči, njegova odstavitev pa je vseeno presenetila opazovalci OPEC-a. Prva reakcija Je, da pomeni odhod Jamanija skorajšno povišanje cene nafte, morda do 20 dolarjev na sod od sedanjih 14 ali 15 dolarjev.
Današnji Wall Street Journal v izčrpni analizi sklepa, da je odstavitev Jamanija znak v zadnjih dveh letih hitro rastočega vpliva Irana v OPEČ organizaciji in sploh na Srednjem vzhodu. Iranci zagovarjajo močno omejitev količine nafte, ki jo OPEČ države pošiljajo na svetovni trg. To taktiko podpirajo od začetka države kot so Libija, Alžirija in Nigerija, Saudska Arabija in državice ob fuzijskem zalivu pa so bile proti. Hišam Nazer, novi saudski naftni minister, je pa v svoji prvi izjavi po prevzemu dolžnosti vče-raj dejal, da želi Saudska Arabija sestanek 0pEC držav z namenom, da bi se članice dogovorile o načrtu, ki bi vodil do višje cene nalte. S tem se je Saudska Arabija približala stališču Irana, menijo analitiki, citirani v Wall Street Journalu.
Mnogi opazovalci svetovnega naftnega tr83 pa še vedno dvomijo, da bo OPEČ uspela v kampanji za znatno povišitev v ceni nafte. Cena nafte na odprtem trgu bo nestalna v dnevnem ali tedenskem oziru, pravijo, vendar do trajne povišitve ne bo prišlo vsaj za leto ali dve.
Kurt Waldheim zopet zanikal, da je bil udeležen v vojaških operacijah v Jugoslaviji med zadnjo vojno — Tudi ni bil agent ZSSR
DUNAJ, Avstrija — Včeraj je avstrijski Predsednik Kurt Waldheim preko tiskovnega Predstavnika zopet zanikal, da se je bil ude-ezil vojaških akcij in represalij oz. množič-n’h pokolov v Jugoslaviji med drugo svetov-n° vojno, ko je služil kot častnik v štabu 8en. Freidricha von Stahla, nacističnega vojaškega poveljnika v Kozari v Jugoslaviji, lanek v vplivnem časopisu The Washington °st je objavil podatke, ki so pričali o Wald-eimovi aktivni vlogi in celo, da je gen. Stahl Predlagal Waldheima za prejemnika kolajne ra'ja Zvonimirja za hrabrost. Kolajne je P°delil ustaški Paveličev režim v Hrvatski.
The Washington Post je trdil, da je aldheim prvič delno priznal svojo vlogo, Vendar je to Waldheim včeraj zanikal. Časo-P’s je tudi citiral izjavo nekega Antona Ko-cndiča, ki naj bi bil vodilni jugoslovanski ° veščevalnj agent na Dunaju v letih 1947 in ^48. Kolendič naj bi povedal, da je izročil aldheimovo kartoteko sovjetskim agen-m in da je stoodstotno prepričan, da so 0vjeti potem prišli v stik z Waldheimom z uamenom, da bi postal njihov agent oz. vo-n; Isto so menda poskusili Jugoslovani
sami. Včeraj je Waldheim tudi vse to zanikal.
Waldheim je pa igral čudno vlogo v letu °, ko je bil avstrijski zunanji minister. rat je poslal brzojavko avstrijskemu
e.ePoslaniku na Češkem, v kateri je odredil,
v^eP°sIaništvo ne izdaja vizumov češko-lV£NPvaškim državljanom, ki so želeli priti v
ES-
Avstrijo. Veleposlanik je to odredbo na lastno odgovornost ignoriral in izdajal tudi do 5.000 vizumov na dan Čehoslovakom, ki so hoteli pobegniti v Avstrijo. Tudi o tem je Waldheim rekel včeraj, da ni bil on odgovoren za brzojavko, ampak je le izpolnil željo avstrijskega notranjega ministrstva.
V vsej debati o nejasni in celo dvomljivi preteklosti Kurta Waldheima je Jugoslavija zavzemala in še vedno zavzema zelo zadržano stališče. Če je agent Kolendič govoril resnico, gre za možnost, da je Waldheim res imel stike z Jugoslavijo in ZSSR, o katerih noče danes ne on in ne Jugoslavija javno nič slišati.
Vatikan odločno nastopil zoper tiste, ki zagovarjajo pro-homoseksualna stališča v Cerkvi in izven nje v širši družbi
VATIKAN — Včeraj je Vatikan poslal vsem škofom Cerkve pismo, ki ga je bil odobril sam papež Janez Pavel II. V pismu je škofom nakazano, naj ne podpirajo nobenih posameznih članov Cerkve ali organizacij, ki zagovarjajo stališče, da homoseksualnost ni nekaj nenormalnega in celo, da so homoseksualne aktivnosti dovoljene oz. sprejemljive. Med katoličani je v zadnjem času več in več takih, ki taka stališča podpirajo in temu je treba napraviti konec, pravi pismo.
Škofje in cerkvene organizacije naj bi tudi nikakor ne podpirale^aktivnosti tistih, ki želijo po zakonu v širši družbi legalizirati homoseksualnost, nadaljuje pismo. Tako odločno stališče zoper homoseksualnost je potrebno, je dejal kardinal Joseph Ratzin-ger, ker je zadeva dobila širši obseg in pomen tudi v katoliških krogih.
— Kratke vesti —
Washington, D.C. — Sovjetski voditelj
Mihail S. Gorbačov bo v kratkem obiskal Kubo, svoje potovanje pa nadaljeval tudi v Mehiko, Argentino in Brazilijo. S tem bo Gorbačov prvi sovjetski voditelj, ki je kdaj obiskal te države. Prihodnji teden pa se bosta na Dunaju dvakrat srečala državni sekretar George Shultz in sovjetski zunanji minister Eduard Ševardnadze.
Managua, Nik. — Danes bo začel pričati na sodnem procesu zoper njega Eugene Hasenfus. Tožilec se bo najbrž zanimal predvsem za vlogo ZDA v podpiranju proti-sandinističnih gverilcev.
Manila, Fil. — Predsednica Corazon
Aquino je dejala, da se ne boji opozicije s strani svojega obrambnega ministra in podpredsednika. ZDA so izjavile, da podpirajo Aquinovo.
Washington, D.C. — Včeraj se je o-
brambni sekretar Caspar Weinberger srečal z romunskim obrambnim ministrom, ki je na uradnem obisku v ZDA. Gen. Vasile Mircea je prvi obrambni minister katere članice Varšavskega pakta, ki je kdaj uradno obiskal ZDA. Gen. Mircea seje srečal tudi z načelnikom ameriških vojaških poveljnikov v Pentagonu. Obrambno tajništvo ni hotelo posredovati nobenih podrobnosti.
Pariz, Fra. — Francoska vlada je izjavila, da so Sirijci sodelovali v prizadevanjih proti terorizmu na francoskem ozemlju. To vlogo je potrdil tudi sirijski predstavnik. Francija je tudi povedala, da ne bo dobavljala orožja Siriji za nedoločen Čas. O kakem francoskem premirju s sredozemskimi teroristi pa ni govora, je rekel predsednik vlade Jacques Chirac.

Ne žaluj!
Ideali, za katere sem se bojeval, živijo še naprej.
Ko se bojuješ za te ideale, sem jaz s Teboj.
Ko govoriš o teh idealih, govoriš tudi o meni.

Moje srce utripa v srcih tistih, ki v ljubezni
in v potu svojega obraza gradijo pravičnejši svet.

Belokranjci vabijo na svoje vedno veselo martinovanje 8. novembra
CLEVELAND, O. - Belokranjski klub priredi svoj tradicionalni družabni vinski praznik, martinovanje, v soboto, 8. novembra, ob 6.30 zvečer v veliki dvorani Slovenskega narodnega doma na St. Clairju. Na ta naš vinski praznik vljudno vabimo naše prijatelje in znance od blizu in daleč, da nam pridete pomagat, ko krstimo novo kapljico.
Ko smo v rojstni Beli krajini morali večkrat težko poprijeti za delo v vinogradih, smo na dan sv. Martina v krogu svojih domačih, prijateljev in znancem, ob dobrem prigrizku, to novo kapljico, ki je imela do tega praznika ime most, krstili v vino. Tukaj, v tujini, pa radi obujamo spomine na te lepe navade in se v veseli družbi skupno poveselimo.
Torej, dragi prijatelji in znanci, pridite na naše martinovanje 8. novembra! Večerja bo deljena »family style«, za ples in zabavo bodo pa poskrbeli Dušan Maršičevi Veseli Slovenci. Trije policaji bodo pazili na varnost avtomobilov na parkališ-ču.
Naj omenimo tudi, da pridejo na naše martinovanje mnogi Belokranjci iz Kanade. Med njimi bo tudi dobro znani napredni vinogradnik iz St. Catherinesa, g. Višček z ženo.
Nekaj vstopnic imamo še na razpolago. Vljudno prosimo, da pokličete za rezervacijo na tel. 481-3308 ali pa 289-0843.

Pevski zbor Jadran vabi na svoj koncert
CLEVELAND, O. - Jesen nas je že obiskala s hladnimi dnevi, čas je torej za kulturne prireditve v dvoranah. Tako tudi pevski zbor Jadran se pripravlja na svoj koncert, ki bo v soboto, 8. novembra, v Slovenskem delavskem domu, 15335 Waterloo Rd. Kot vedno, bo koncertni nastop združen z večerjo in plesom, za katerega bo igral Tone Klepec orkester. Vstopnice so po $10 in jih imajo vsi člani zbora.
Spored koncerta bo vseboval več znanih slovenskih narodnih pesmi, pripravljamo pa tudi malo igro »Kje pa kot v Ameriki«. Počastili bomo tudi Kip svobode ob njegovi stoletnici.
Pridite in se poveselite z nami, dragi rojaki. Čim več nas bo, čim lepše in veselejše bo!

Glasbene Matice se je zbor znašel v veliki zadregi, ko je izgubil priljubljenega pevskega voditelja Vladimirja Malečkarja. Kje neki dobiti namestnika, je bilo veliko vprašanje. Toda pregovor pravi, če je res ali ne, da ni nihče nenadomestljiv. In to je bilo v tem slučaju res.
Že po smrti Toneta Šublja se je govorilo, da bi dobili nekoga iz Slovenije. No sedaj se jim je ta želja izpolnila. V soboto, 18. oktobra, smo imeli priliko in čast spoznati ter občudovati novo pevovodkinjo Maryo Ashamalla, njeno muzikalno tehniko ter znanje kontroliranja glasov.
Zdelo se nam je, da smo bili nekje v Ljubljani, kjer so res mojstri v petju in glasbi. Pevo-vodkinja Marya Ashamalla je dovršena glasbenica z obširnim glasbenim znanjem, saj tudi sama odlično igra klavir.
Zavedati se moramo, da je v Ameriki pomanjkanje pevcev, posebno moških glasov, toda navzlic temu zmore ona spojiti vse glasove v lepo harmonično celoto.
Vse to ustvarja tako naravno in lahkotno, brez kakega truda. Očividno je že rojena s„

Obisk v Krežetovi Mural Art galeriji
Lep koncert Glasbene Matice
(Nadaljevanje s str. 2)
EUCLID, O. - V središču cle- • velandske slovenske sentkler-ske naselbine, na južni strani Sl. Clair Ave. nasproti Slovenskega narodnega doma, se je letos pomladi pojavila nova umetnostna galerija z več razstavnimi prostori, last rojaka Damjana Krežeta. Prostori »Mural Art Gallery« so na 6424 St. Clair Ave., v poslopju siceiVkrga lastuje dobro znani slovenski rojak Franček Toplak.
Prostori galerije so popolnoma prenovljeni v svrho razstavljanja in ogledanja slikarskih in drugih umetniških del. Razstavni prostori so res okusno preurejeni in odlično služijo svojemu namenu. Trud, ki ga je vložil g. Kreže v oblikovanje svoje galerije priča o njegovi umetnostni sposobnosti in tudi resnem namenu, da b° njegova zamisel tudi poslovno uspela. Mural Art gale-r*ja je v ponos slovenski naselbini, ki je z njo veliko pridobila in to tudi kakovostno. Lastniku poslopja Frančku Toplarn. ki je pobudo podprl, kot g- Krežetu moremo le čestitati!
Damjan Kreže, ki je prišel v Ameriko kot priseljenec leta '957, sedaj poročen in oče dveh otrok, si je z Mural Art galerijo uresničil svoj življenj-ski cilj. Sam pravi: »Star sem 56 let. Če ne bom sedaj delal t0> kar sem si želel vse svoje življenje, mislim, da ne bom nikoli več imel prilike to željo
uresničiti.«
Naš umetnik je bolj malo znan širši slovenski skupnosti, * I
DESNO: William F. Miller (levo), novinar clevelandskega dnevnika The Plain Dealer, ki Pogosto poroča o Slovencih za širšo javnost, v pogovoru z Damjanom Krežetom. Stojita Pred Mural Art galerijo.
SPODAJ: Na dan, ko je o-biskal in si ogledal Mural Art galerijo novinar Miller — v
I lain Dcalerju je že izšlo lepo Poročilo — je bilo navzočih več rojakov. Od leve so: Franck Toplak, lastnik poslopja, amjan Kreže, Miller, znani ^dijski napovedovalec Tony etkovšek, in pa Vaclav Hyv-nar. koordinator za etnične za-eve v pisarni župana Georgea
• Voinovicha. Na sliki je v
ozadju videti le del lepo ob-uovljenlh razstavnih prostorov Z bogato zbirko umetnin.
(Sliki nam posredoval A.M. Pust)
je pa po svojih delih mnogim rojakom na ogled. Njegove velike stenske slike, poslikane v olju v poznani Frank Sterleto-vi Slovenian Country House restavraciji, pričajo o njegovi poslovni stroki in ljubezni do domačih pokrajinskih motivov.
Ta Keržetov stil se vidi tudi v njegovih slikah, ki jih razstavlja v svoji galeriji. Vedno precizen s poudarkom na detajlih, včasih kar malo surrealističen, rešuje po svoje pokrajinske prizore, rože, tihožitja, vse to seveda najraje v velikih formatih. Radi tega tudi ime galerije: Mural = stenska slika, lahko pa tudi »freska«.
V	galeriji so razstavljena tudi dela drugih lokalnih umetnikov, od teh tudi nekaj slovenskih, med njimi M. Ba-tis, J. Opalek, E. Zulič, F. Krnc, A.B. Pust. Nekatera dela so seveda tudi naprodaj.
V	načrtih ima Kreže razstave slovenskih grafikov, samostojne razstave umetnikov iz drugih mest, med njimi naj bi bili tudi umetniki, živeči v slovenskih naselbinah po ZDA in Kanadi, po možnosti tudi iz drugih krajev sveta.
Ogled Mural Art Gallery priporočam vsakemu, ki kdaj pride v našo sentklersko slovensko naselbino. Predolgo je bilo, odkar so tu domovali, ustvarjali in razstavljali slovenski umetniki. Od mojstra Franceta Goršeta (ali je res že četrt stoletja od njegovega odhoda iz Clevelanda?!) do skoraj med rojaki že pozabljenega slikarja Harvey Gregory Pru-shecka (že več kot štirideset let) s svojim značilnim stilom, nismo imeli nobenega.
Poslovne ure Mural Art Gallery so od torka do sobote med 10. dop. in 6. zv., telefonska številka je pa 391-3870.
Krežeta pridnost in ustvarjalna dejavnost se kažeta tudi v tem, da je strokovnjak za restavriranje, saj je že v Evropi obnavljal in popravljal cerkvena poslopja in starinsko pohištvo. Tudi v tem oziru je strankam na razpolago v svoji galeriji.
Izgleda torej, da je Damjan v tej že sto let stari slovenski sentklerski naselbini končno dosegel svoj življenjski smoter. S tem pa ne bo zadovoljil le samega sebe, temveč tudi našo naselbino in samo mesto Clevelanda. Umetniki Krežetovega kova radi odpirajo svoje galerije na Cleveland Hts. ali v kakem drugim, »modnej-šem« predmestju. Hvaležni smo mu lahko za zaupanje v sentklersko naselbino in skupnost.
Prijatelji Damjanu Krežetu želimo dosti uspeha in zadovoljstva. Te prisrčne želje veljajo tudi njegovi prijazni družini, ki z njim sodeluje v galeriji. Naj Damjan v svojem ustvarjalnem delu nadaljuje in tako odpira vpoglede v njegov svet, v svet pristnega Slovenca, vsej slovenski in tudi širši ameriški javnosti. V Mural Art galeriji pa naj razstavlja še novi, naši javnosti doslej nepoznani rod umetnikov.

talentom za glasbo. Poleg vseh talentov in zmožnosti pa je še mlada in zelo simpatična. Med navzočimi se je širil glas, da smo z njo veliko pridobili.
Po smrti Toneta Šublja je prevzela vodstvo petja pri Glasbeni Matici njihova pianistka Valentina Fillinger, profesionalna glasbenica, ki je imela podobno metodo petja, le da so morali pevci njej tolmačiti vsebino pesmi, ker ni bila Slovenka. Sedanja pevo-vodkinja pa zna pevcem tolmačiti sama, kar je še en velik plus.
Pred začetkom koncerta sta nam bila predstavljena dva odlična gosta: senator Frank J. Lausche in tukajšnji jugoslovanski konzul Ivo Vajgl.
Sedaj pa h koncertnem sporedu. Prva skladba »Ave Ve-rum Corpus« — W.A. Mozarta, je bila posvečena nedavno umrli podporni članici Glasbene Malice Juliji Mrzlikar. Zapeli so jo z mehkobo in ljubeznijo. Že pri tej točki smo zaznali, da uči nekdo, ki razume, kaj je umestno za take prilike.
Sledili sta dve daljši klasični in zahtevni deli. Prvi je bil odlomek iz Verijeve opere »Na-bucco«, krasno zapet in vedno hvaležno sprejet. Proti koncu so zapeli še odlomke iz priljubljene igre s petjem, Richard Rogersovo »Sound of Music«. Čudovito so jih izvedli ter prejeli zasluženo priznanje.
Sledila je Prelovčeva »Jaz bi rad rudečih rož«. Običajno jo poje moški duet ali solist. Tokrat pa smo jo prvič slišali v priredbi za ženski zbor. Ker je ta glasovno bogat, so nas prijetno presenetile. Nagradili smo jih z navdušenim aplavzom. Tudi moški zbor je prav korajžno zapel P. Kernjakovo »Pojdem v Škufce«.
Po dolgem času smo vendar spet zaslišali Olgo Klancher in
Jane Poznik v duetu »Moj fantič« in Slakovo romantično »Ne prižigaj luči«. Glasova obeh pevk se krasno ujemata, zato smo ju tudi nagradili z dolgotrajnim aplavzom.
Ugodili so tudi poslušalcem, večina že tukaj rojenih, ker radi poslušajo narodno pesem, ki se sliši vse lepše zapeta po volji pevovodkinje. Vsi smo ob njih resnično uživali.
Navdušeno smo pozdravili naše tri pevske znance — E. Kenika, D. Mihelich, in June Price, ki so zadnje čase bolj skopi s svojimi nastopi. Odlično so zapeli vrsto narodnih in navrgli še eno, nam neznano Avsenikovo, ki so jo zapeli tako živahno, da so razvneli vse navzoče, kot vedno.
Ta trojica ima krasne in sočne glasove, da ne potrebujejo nobenega ojačanja. Nagradili smo jih, pa še kako, z viharnim aplavzom.
Za zaključek sporeda se vedno oglasi pomembna Avsenikova »Ostanimo prijatelji«. Tedaj se ne poje samo na odru, pridružijo se še vsi navzoči s ploskanjem v taktu in tako zaori in zaživi vsa dvorana. Vedno je treba to pesem še ponovili.
Pohvalo zaslužita tudi pianist Reginald Resnik za svojo občuteno klavirsko spremljavo pevcev ter orkester Dona Slogarja.
Pevovodkinja Marya Asha-malla je prejela kar dva šopka, kar pomeni, da smo čestitali njej in zboru in se s tem zahvalili za tako lepo glasbeno doživetje.

Škof Zacchaeus Okolh,
iz Kisumu, Kenija, je poslal 25. septembra 9 strani obsegajoče poročilo o napredku njegovih bogoslovcev, ki študirajo v raznih teologijah v državi. Takole začenja svoje pismo:
»Pozdrav iz Kisumu. Želim izreči svojo iskreno zahvalo za zvesto nadaljevanje pošiljanja pomoči za vzgojo domačih bogoslovcev, ki bodo bodoči naši duhovniki. Srečen sem, da vam lahko spel pošljem o njih poročilo o napredku, ki so ga pokazali v semenišču, kjer študirajo. To poročilo je o zadnjem semestru njih študija.
Fr. Melkisedeck Minja je eno leto vršil pastoralno delo v Uradi Katoliški Župniji in v Fari Ukvvala, obe v Siaya o-kraju. 28. avgusta je bil ordi-niran in je sedaj nastavljen v novi župniji Bolo, v okraju Kisumu. Družina Franka Skvarča iz Racina, Wis., ga je vzdrževala.
Fr. John Oballa, ki ga je vzdrževala ga. Frances Ošaben iz Barbertona, Ohio, je bil ordi-niran isti dan kot g. Minja, in nastavljen za kaplana v Kibu-ye katedrali v Kisumu. Akademsko je študiral zelo dobro in je bil prvi v letniku 49 bogoslovcev. Ocenjen je bil kot zelo dober in zvest semeniščnik.
Fr. Elias Ngafia, vzdrževan od družine Desmonda in Lube Allison v Scarboroughju, je bil tudi ordiniran 28. avgusta. Njegova osebnost je zelo odprta in razdajajoča se drugim. Bil je 19-ielni od 49 in so ga nastavili v Ahero župnijo v
okraju Kisumu.
Bogoslovec Joachim Owang je sedaj v III. letniku bogoslovja. Prijeten po značaju, precej zrel in odprt. Bil je v razredu od 79 kandidatov na 40-iem mestu. Poslal je akolit. Vzdržuje ga družina Albina Gospodariča iz Batawe, Ont.
G. John Tekavec iz Clevelanda vzdržuje Petra Obonyo, ki je trenutno v pastoralni formaciji v župniji Aluor. Preje je deloval v Awasi, ki je ena novih župnij v škofiji.
Ga. Theresa Richerson, R.N., podpira Mosesa Omo-llo, ki začenja 2. letnik teologije v bogoslovju Sv. Tomaža Akvinca. Je dvaindvajseti od 69 bogoslovcev. Miren, dober in zelo zvest bogoslovec. Sedaj je poslal lektor.
Ga. Katarina Kolenko iz Toronta podpira elementa Oluoche, ki je v avgustu vstopil v 2. letnik teologije. Prijeten značaj, dober in odprt in zelo aktiven v razredu med sošolci. Je trideseti med 69 kan-didaii po študijah. Sedaj je poslal lektor.
Ga. Marija Ribič iz Clevelanda vzdržuje Gabriela Oko-la, ki začenja drugi letnik teologije. Zelo vljuden in miren značaj. Je peti med 69 in skoraj v vseh predmetih nadpovprečen. Poslal je lektor.
A.M. iz Clevelanda podpira Johna Oginga, ki začenja 2. letnik bogoslovnih študij. Prijazen, odprl značaj s čutom za duhovitost. Je šestnajsti med 69 in postal lektor.
Ga. Nežka Tominec iz Clevelanda vzdržuje obetajočega Georgea Odhiamba, ki začenja drugi letnik teologije. Dober značaj, štiriinštirideseti od 69. Tudi on je postal leklor.«
Molimo za vse te bogoslovce, da bi jih Sv. Duh vodil zvesto do mašništva. Molitev dobrotnikov in dobrotnic je zelo važna, saj kandidatje živijo v stiku s svojim ljudstvom, ki je v marsičem zelo različno od idealov, ki so se jih kandidatje oklenili.
O	nanovo prevzetih kandidatih pa ob kaki drugi priložnosti. Dobrotniki so o njih že od nas informirani direktno v poslanem jim pismu, s poročilom od škofa v Kisumu.

“Rožni venec miru”
Hrvaški verski tedni “Glas koncila” poroča, da v župniji sv. Petra v Zagrebu že dalj časa vsak četrtek v mesecu molijo Rožni venec miru, ki ga je sestavil inž. Vladimir Paleček.
Skrivnosti tega rožnega venca so sestavljene tako, da se v petih desetkah povzema vsebina vseh 15 skrivnosti običajnega rožnega venca s posebno mislijo na mir kot evangeljsko sporočilo in sad Kristusovega odrešenja.
Slovenski škofje so letošnji oktober posebej priporočili molitev za mir. Rožni venec miru je prav primerna molitev za ta namen.
Poslovne igre v Ameriki
V našem listu smo objavili članek o izpopolnjevanju slovenskih gospodarstvenikov v ZDA ter omenili, da se ta program nadaljuje, prihodnje leto menda kar na Clevelandski državni univerzi- Članek v reviji »Teleksu« z gornjim naslovom je prebral neki Gojko Stanič, ki živi v Newhall, Kalif. Poslal je pismo Teleksu s svojimi pripombami. Naj tudi ta trezno napisano pismo posredujemo bralcem. Ur.
Z zanimanjem sem prebral članek »Poslovne igre v Ameriki«. Menim, da članek dokaj stvarno prikazuje razmere na ameriškem trgu in možnosti slovenskega gospodarstva na njem.
Tržišče je veliko, odprto, prav zato pa je tudi izredno zahtevno. Zaprtost domačega trga, izvoz na vzhodnoevropska tržišča in v dežele »tretjega sveta« slovenskega gospodarstva ne navajajo na stroge norme, ki veljajo v razvitem svetu. Izvozniki si lahko polomijo zobe na prav nedolžnih napakah, zamujanje dobavnih rokov, nekorektnost v poslovnih odnosih ipd.
Oznaka »Made in Yugoslavia« žal v Ameriki ne vzbuja posebnega zaupanja. Povprečen Američan ve o Jugoslaviji kaj malo. Največkrat je Jugoslavija »Vzhodna Evropa« ali pa kvečjemu »tretji svet«. Torej v prvem primeru nekaj negativnega, v drugem pa nekaj neresnega in zaostalega. Zato ni čudno, da Vugo America razglaša Vugo za »avto iz Evrope«. Za Jugoslavijo izvemo šele, če dvignemo pokrov motorja.
Strategija »korak za korakom« je edina smiselna. Začnimo z malim in v Ameriki iščimo manjša, specializirana tržišča. Tam je konkurenca manj silovita, tveganje je manjše, zato pa sc bolj donosna. To se seveda ne sliši tako imenitno kot »izvažati avtomobile v deželo avtomobilizma«, je pa, verjemite mi, dosti bolj varno. Naravno je iskati tržišča tam, kjer so večje koncentracije Slovencev. Nezaupanje do naše robe bo manjše, lahko računamo celo na simpatije. (Verjetno pa je to poskusila že cela vrsta izvoznikov.)
Poiščimo si panoge, v katerih smo dobri, in to izvažajmo. Elan je lep primer tega in morda naš edini pravi uspeh na ameriškem trgu. Slišim, da so se začeli pojavljati tudi Alpinini smučarski čevlji. Ne vem, ali gre za skupen nastop z Elanom. To bi bilo vsekakor smiselno, ker gre za isto tržišče. Ko spoznaš trg in si pridobiš renome, poskusi prodajati na istem trgu še druge izdelke.
Res si težko predstavljam.
da bi v Ameriki lahko prodajali izdelke »visoke tehnologije«. Še Zahodna Evropa nima pravega uspeha. Tehnologija se prehitro spreminja in je težko ponuditi kaj konkurenčnega, če vedno capljaš zadaj. Tudi proizvodi, ki zahtevajo servis, predstavljajo večje tveganje, ker so potrebne večje investicije.
Vugo je lahko dvorezna reklama, vendar ne zaradi prenizke cene, ampak zaradi neprimerne kvalitete. Spoštovana revija »Consumer Reports« je ocenila Vugo za najslabši avto mnogih let, s celim kupom defektov, zastarelo tehnologijo in previsoko porabo bencina za tako majhen avto. Mislim, da bo Zastava še naprej lahko prodajala Vugo v ZDA, če bo bistveno cenejši od drugih avtomobilov. Konkurenca se bo nedvomno zaostrila. Južnokorejskim avtom se bojo pridružili še uvozi iz Mehike, Brazilije in Tajvana. Pričakujejo, da bo v nekaj letih ponudba avtomobilov v Ameriki visoko presegla povpraševanje.
Še o ceni Vuga. Dejanska cena ni 3990 dolarjev, to je le za reklamo. Tej vsoti je treba prišteti še prevoz, »pripravo« avtomobila in v Kaliforniji katalizator za izpušne plir>e-Vse skupaj je to 4664 dolarjev. Toliko dobi trgovec. Potem pride še registracija in državni prodajni davek. S tem pa je iz' datek že blizu pet tisoč dolarjev.
O Aviji ne vem povedati kaj dosti. Vino sem videl v Los Angelesu in Minneapolisu. Je eno od mnogih vin srednje kakovosti. Zamašek je zlepljen iz koščkov, kar je navada pri cenenih vinih. Mislim, da nam je bila Slovencem bolj v čast Vinagova serija. Vina so bila dobre kakovosti, le nalepke so rade padale preč. Trivia -na napaka, ki pa je lahko usodna. Da so se ta vina lahko pobahala z vrsto kolajn na različnih vinskih sejmih je bil° pa nekaj posebnega.

Kdo nam je zapravil Primorsko?
Pisatelj Boris Pahor je objavil roman »V labirintu«, v katerem na jasen način — čeprav v obliki romana — pokaže, kdo je kriv, da je velik del Pri-tuorske dobila Italija in da je veliko število Slovencev utoni-0 v italijanskih komunističnih >n socialističnih strankah in iz-Bubilo svojo slovensko narodno zavest.
Spomenka Hribar, ki nič ne *aJi> da je komunistka, čeprav Je kila izključena iz partije, je v 'Cviji 2000 — časniku za miš-Jenje, umetnost, kulturna in ^ igiozna vprašanja (št. . ^2, lemik 1986) — povzela 'Z romana glavne Pahorjeve tr-ltve ter jih je osvetlila in ko-^ntirala v članku »V labirin-

pošteno plača za to, kar je hudega storil«. V Trstu seje torej zgodilo to, kar se je zgodilo z vrnjenimi domobranci s Koroške. Posledica tega partizanskega divjanja je bila, da so zavezniki in Italijani vse Slovence enačili s komunisti.
Napake partije so bile vedno večje in porajalo se je vedno večje spoznanje, da je partija ubrala stalinsko pot. Ljudje so se zgražali, ko so zvedeli, da so npr. dr. Jakobu Ukmarju, ki naj bi v imenu tržaškega škofa birmal otroke v Tinjanu, nastop preprečili, da so ga v drugem kraju v Buzetu obmetavali s paradižniki in jajci, tako, da tudi tam ni bilo birme; da je v Lanišču nahujskana drhal do smrti pobila duhovnika dr. Miroslava Bulešiča in ranila dr. Jakoba Ukmarja; da je bil v Kobaridu ugrabljen in ubit urednik Demokracije dr. Andrej-Slavko Uršič, itd.
Usodna napaka partije je bila tudi v njenem pojmovanju naroda kot naroda. Partija ni smatrala za Slovenca tistega, ki se rodi kot Slovenec, ampak samo tistega, ki prisega na partijsko zastavo. Glavni partijski kriterij slovenstva ni bilo slovenstvo samo —, da si se torej rodil kot Slovenec — ampak pripadnost proletarski komunistični ideologiji.
Pa ne samo to. Veljalo je geslo, da je slovenskemu komunistu bliže italijanski levičar kol narodno zaveden nekomunist, kar se je videlo v odnosu do italijanskih komunistov, s katerimi so sklepali komunisti italijansko-slovensko bratstvo in katerim so slovenski komunisti na stežaj odprli vrata v svoja društva, tiskarne, domove.
Prelom v političnem stanju na Primorskem je prinesla 20. marca 1955 izjava treh zahodnih držav, da bo Svobodno tržaško ozemlje — Cona A — spel prišla pod italijansko suverenost, ker je Jugoslavija dejansko vključila Cono B v Jugoslavijo. Tako je misel na samostojno ozemlje s Trstom vred padla v vodo.
Spor med Jugoslavijo in Sovjetsko zvezo
Veliko spremembo je prinesel v primorske razmere tudi spor Jugoslavije s Sovjetsko zvezo. Komunistična partija Italije se je pridružila ostalim partijam po svetu v obsodbi Jugoslavije. V Trstu se je itali-jansko-slovensko bratstvo zrušilo. Italijanski del partije in z njo večina slovenskih komunistov — zaslepljenih z interna-cionalizmom — se je odločil v tem sporu za Moskvo, dočim se je slovenski vodstveni partijski kader odločil za Jugoslavijo.
Med obema skupinama se je sprožil oster spor, pravo sovraštvo. S tem je bilo slovenstvo na Primorskem razbito, Glavnina slovenskih komunistov na Tržaškem je šla z Vida-lijem, italijanskim komunističnim voditeljem, ki je bil za Moskvo. Pri volitvah so imeli komunisti dvoje strank: Ko-
minformovsko in titovsko. Kominformovska je bila 88,85% komunističnih glasov, dočim je dobila titovska le 11,15% glasvo. Večina slovenskih komunistov je torej volila italijansko komunistično stranko.
Slovenstvo je utrpelo silno škodo, ki je še danes vidna na vseh področjih življenja na Primorskem. Tako silno poudarjena internacionalistična politika je propadla na škodo slovenske manjšine na Primorskem. Da je bil to polom, potrjuje tudi prof. Bogo Grafenauer (v spremni besedi Pahorjeve knjige), ko govori o političnih razvalinah po Ko-minformu in ko ugotavlja, da gre za resnično pomemben neuspeh KPJ (jugoslovanske komunistične partije) na Tržaškem.
Vedno smo z veseljem ugotavljali — zlasti med fašistično dobo — kako močna je slovenska narodna zavest na Primorskem. Pospeševanju te zavesti in sploh slovenske narodne identitete je bila naklonjena tudi zavezniška oblast, ki je slovensko narodno vprašanje reševala, ker so komunisti odrekli svojo pomoč, tudi s pomočjo slovenskih političnih emigrantov.
Po vključitvi Cone A v italijansko državo, se je slovensko ljudstvo, ki je živelo v tej coni, znašlo v silno težkem položaju. Slovenci so čez noč postali mala narodna manjšina v italijanskem morju. Če kdaj, bi bilo tedaj potrebno povezali vse Slovence v močno narodno

skupnost in se skupno boriti za slovenske narodne koristi. Toda slovenski komunisti na Primorskem niso razumeli ali niso hoteli razumeti te zgodovinske potrebe in se niso hoteli povezali s Slovenci — nekomunisti. Vodili so in še vodijo izključno komunistično politiko, ki je slovenstvu v veliko škodo. Vidimo, kako narodna zavest pri slovenskih komunistih hira, kako mnogi komunisti pošiljajo svoje otroke v italijanske šole, kako volijo kandidate italijanskih levičarskih strank, ki tu in tam iz propagandnih razlogov postavljajo na kandidatno listo kakega Slovenca.
Zaradi teh velikih in usodnih napak je prešel velik del slovenskega ozemlja, ki je že nad 1000 let naseljen po Slovencih, v italijanske roke, in smo izgubili tudi na tisoče Slovencev, ki jih po krivdi partije slovenska narodna zavest nič več ne zanima. Le manjše število narodno zavednih Slovencev se krčevito upira pogubnemu delovanju mednarodnega komunizma in pritisku šovinističnih italijanskih množic.

Waterloo Home Marks 60
Every anniversary date is special and when another good year has been added to our lives or the existence of an organization, there is reason to celebrate.
The Directors of Slovenian Workmen’s Home on Waterloo Road are pleased to announce the 60th aniversary of “our home away from home” which will be celebrated with a Dinner-Dance on Sunday, Nov. 23.
Slovenian Workmen’s Home has a rich history. As early as 1914 foresighted men and women of the Waterloo area recognized the need for a meeting place for our cultural, social and business events.
With faith and determination, they put their shoulders to the wheel and forged their way to the completion of their dream — a beautiful building with facilites for any kind of social or business event.
That it was a successful venture is demonstrated by the fact that after 60 years it is still a vital and important part of the Waterloo area.
This very special celebration will honor our founding members and all Board members who have followed them.
Dinner will be served from 3 to 5 p.m. Eddie Kenik and the Slogar Orchestra will entertain
our guests and provide music for dancing.
Tickets $12.00 each for the Dinner and Dance are available by calling Secretary Millie Bradač at 481-5378 or 481-0047. They may also be obtained from any Board member or at the SWH bar.
A very cordial invitation is extended to all our friends and organizations to attend this special occasion. We are looking forward to seeing our auditorium filled with happy people on Sunday, Nov. 23.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, OCTOBER 31, 1986

Ed. Note: Last year Prof . John P. Nielsen of New York City wrote about his family's big reunion in Slovenia. In this issue he further looks into the story of the Rojshek family during their hardships and triumphs in America and in Slovenia.
(Conclusion)
by John P. Nielsen My mother accepted this all at arms length. It was too late, but she kept her wifely responsibility. She fed him, took care of his bedroom, and his clothes. They were not close again ever, visiting people socially together; but there was no more tension in the house. What with the grandchildren coming along, there was considerable joy in the house when they came to visit. Once in a while I came to visit. (I had in this time gotten married, to a Jewish girl) and we would arrange for a complete family picnic somewhere out in Mentor, Ohio, where my wife and I would rent a cottage for a month or so.
My mother at this time began to sense living on her dividends. Frank and Eddie were doing well, reasonably well, and they had nice families. Johnny was married, no family, but he now had a Ph.D. (whatever that was, she never understood). What impressed her was that I was now a teacher, and she shared this with neighbors, who would tell of their children, here and there one teaching in a school, perhaps in some grammar school. That was it, for my mother, 1 had made it, I was now a teacher. When I tried to explain to her that I was a professor in a university (which she could not pronounce, so it was always that I worked in a “kollich”), and furthermore that I was department chairman, with 35 members in my department, it was all lost on her. I was now a teacher, and that was good enough for her.
My mother was now in charge at home. Her husband was completely dependent on her — the house was paid for. There was money in the bank (she foolishly even consented to loan someone $29,000, a distant relative who knew how to get around her. We were all furious with her, and she managed to get the money back, and the individual then got his money at a bank). Since she needed no more to work, she had to use up her energy somehow. She took up gardening, in a rather serious way. Our lot next door became her garden. The skilled work around the house was done by Eddie. He was remarkably handy around the house: papering, painting, Fixing the garage, plumbing, etc. The two-car garage was rented, as was the upstairs. Taxes were modest. There was Social Security, and so she was comfortable, most comfortable.
She just loved to work in that garden, and did fairly heavy work at it, spading a little,
The Rojshek Saga-
watering, fertilizing, etc. Her flower garden was remarkable in what grew there — exotic flowers, the seeds somehow gotten from Europe; her vegetable garden was no less a wonder, lettuce, tomatoes, by the bushel, etc. Who would use all the luscious yield? Well, she was generous to anyone who came along to praise her garden, and so they walked off with a good bundle of lettuce, a half dozen tomatoes, maybe a cucumber or two, and some radishes thrown in for good measure. Now she was never happier. The work kept up her stamina and her health. She ate well, naturally, and the visits she would get fairly regularly pleased her often. She had gotten interested in baseball, and she could watch a good game with a sport fan’s intelligence, criticizing the replacement of a pitcher she thought could still make it.
Her husband was all praises for her, and he, too, enjoyed the grandchildren. At age 76, in the fall of 1965 he became seriously ill, bedridden in fact. Mother administered to him, with all the care of a full time professional nurse. After two to three months, he succumbed. It was a proper funeral — all family gathered. In a way it was a triumph for my mother, because it closed out a relationship, stormy though it was, it ended with the calm and solidness of a strong family. The relatives came to the funeral and paid due respect. There was no gossip about their relationship. It was a typical Slovenian marriage, with its ups and downs in America, with the three children, all doing well, all in their own homes, all involved in professiorjs or business. Frank had died on July 27, 1954, making one serious tragedy in the family, as he left four children for Mary, his wife, to take care of alone.
These were now my mother’s best years, financially secure, indeed with an income above her day-to-day needs. There were six grandchildren now, all doing well in school, and all destined for college. Edward to be sure was having difficulties at the tavern — business steadily decreasing in the fading Slovenian neighborhood of old St. Clair. To live in a better place he and Elsie bought a house on Sable Avenue, near my mother’s house on Shawnee Avenue. Thus what spare time he had he could fix things needed at Shawnee Avenue. He had by this time acquired a house on 63rd Street with tenants and this had to be tended to. A two-car garage had been built on the spare lot next to the Shawnee Avenue house, adding a bit of income to the house, and giving space for storage, which was an affliction of my mother — she saved everything, and she could have used two basements, two attics, two garages, and a barn. (I once wrote an amus-
ing article called “By Possessions Possessed,” in which 1 described that had my mother ever had to move, it would have taken a caravan of trucks to move out all the magpie accumulations.)
To my mother, her garden was her pride, and she enjoyed being stopped in her work by passersby to admire her garden. Her son John from New York came to visit. She particularly enjoyed the visits of Frankie’s and Edward’s children. Frank had died a good many years ago, and Mary was doing a good job in raising the four children. She worked in a bank full time, and still managed to keep up a household. Also, the makings of a good Slovenian wife and mother. Mary had moved with her children back to Lorain, near her own folks, but the visits to Cleveland were still made frequently, certainly for the various holidays.
My mother was now nearing eighty, older than any Rojshek she remembered. Her three sisters, Johanna, Roza, and the one left in Slovenia, Franscka, had died, as did Albin, a number of years earlier. She was the last of her generation of Rojsheks. She settled down to enjoy her last few years. In a way, life could not be sweeter. She became a frequent churchgoer, even to going to weekday masses.
One early morning, on a bitter cold day, she was struck down by a car, but she survived this, a bit slowly, but survive she did, even to getting back to her garden, but at a much slower pace. There came a day, in the winter of 1972-73 when she began to falter. She apparently “knew” something was going to happen. Unknown to us, she revived her will, and began to sort out certain papers, documents she had been keeping over the years, and the precious letters, from as far back as 1909. The huge accumulation of her magpie savings over the years she began to tackle, perhaps with the instinct to try to leave a tidy house.
One night she had heavy breathing problems. The next day she was taken to Euclid General Hospital. Her heart was erratic in its beats. It was diagnosed that she needed a pace maker and one was so ordered. However, she recovered a bit, sufficiently so that she began to instruct her son, Edward, on the managing of the house — what needed repairs, and how to collect rent from a tricky garage tenant.
I came in from New York to see her in the hospital. The pacemaker was due in a day or so. Everything looked in order, and I returned to New York.
The pacemaker finally arrived on a Monday, there was a weekend delay in delivery. The pacemaker insertion was scheduled for Wednesday. On the Tuesday, April 2nd, 1973, -she had difficulty breathing.
She knew it was going to be close, getting the pacemaker installed in time. She told Edward, her son, “If l can make it tonight, I’ll be all right,” having neatly acquired an Americanism, “if I can make it.” But she didn’t.
That night as she was lying in her bed, breathing heavily, she suddenly felt she was back at that banquet of her wedding day. She began to discern a faint singing of “Slovenska Dekle,” now becoming gradually louder. She relaxed in comfort as the song soothed her. She followed the words “Venček na glavi se bliska iz kitice, rožic zelenih. Slovensko Dekle.” Now she could actually see the people gathered around her, all singing. They were all there — everyone of them — those who had come to America, and even those she had left behind in Slovenia. Right out in front was her husband, smiling to her and singing. Then there was Frank Marn, and Breskvar, whom she had not seen in these many years, and Krive, the Bencinas, and of course, Jozhe Plevnik, and even his son, Jozhe. How nice it was to see Phil Mocilnikar, also singing, the harmonious singing filling the room, the corridors of the hospital — indeed she was not sure it was a hospital where she was now.
She sensed that a race was on.
The song was in its middle. Would the song be completed before she succumbed? She clutched her blanket as hard as she could. It helped — it sustained her breathing “Dokler slovenski rod, biva, po zemlh tod bode slovelo. Slovensko Dekle!” The singing stopped. There was silence at first. The song had ended.
Then it all became clear as to why the singing. It was to tell her that she had made it! She had made it! She had made it! She had fulfilled that pledge she had made the wedding night at the banquet, that she would be the good Slovenian mother and wife. That is what she had pledged, and as it turned out it was not easy, but SHE MADE IT! She knew it, and now they all knew it, too. Otherwise why would they he here.
But really she had made more than being the good mother and wife. She satisfied herself that those who had sold her short, her mother, her sister Johanna, and then of course her husband, who before e was stricken, had failed her, had charged her with tricking him into marrying her. Her sister Franscka was not above alluding to her “past.’ her sweetest sense of revenge was for her mother, and her sister, Johanna; they ha made her life hard, har e

in class status, she could on her own put down someone she thought she ranked over. She could have been more pleasant to her daughter-in-law, Mary Sesek, but she was resentful that Mary oriented her family, as she had every right to do, toward Lorain, when my mother would have preferred that she oriented her family and her husband, Frank (her son) toward Cleveland and closer to the Seseks.
Yet, among the nine, sons and grandchildren, there were more than 14 college degrees conferred on them of one kind or another. Each of the grandchildren got at least one college degree. The educational institutions involved included some of the most prestigious ones in the country: Yale, Columbia, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, Notre Dame, etc. One granddaughter spent a junior year at Grenoble, France, one at Innsbruck, Austria, and Frank, a grandson, a year at Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. A gathering of the family has an international flavor, with possibly five or six languages that can be spoken. There is one Ph.D. and one Doctor Juris. Pauline (Plevnik’s) name can be found listed in Who’s Who in the World (page 701, column 3, 1980-81). To be sure not as one of the 20,000 entries, but a son is so listed, giving her name as his mother.
Not bad for an immigrant woman of 1911, more or less penniless on arrival except for her fare to Cleveland, with only one address clutched in her fist, that of her sister. A sister, who was to fend her off, so that she had to be dragged through a knothole and really start up from nothing at all and a close call it was. She outlived this sister eventually by twenty years, as she did her harsh mother, who had forced her to seek escape, going alone to the New World, still a teenager. She enjoyed remarkably good health to the very end, living to her 82nd year.

Anyone over 30 years of age will fondly remember those golden days of radio drama and comedy shows that were so much a part of our daily lives. However, by the year 1953, television came on the American scene and caused the demise of radio programming as we once knew it.
Radio, sometimes was called the “Theater of the mind” because the imagination of the audience played such a key role in the presentations of drama and comedy.
The listener was required to conjure up the character’s appearance, the locale setting, in fact, the greater the imagination, the more enjoyment one could derive from the programming.
I thought an old-time radio quiz would help you recall many of the kilocycle heroes of the past, that is, if your memory bank will oblige with the right answers.
Answer nine or more correctly, of the total of 13 questions, and you certainly qualify as a real expert extraordinary on nostalgic radio trivia.
1.	What was the make of antique car that belonged to Jack Benny on his radio show?
2.	The theme song of the Lone Ranger?
3.	Fibber McGee and Molly lived on what street?
4.	On the Shadow program, what was the name of the Police Commissioner?
5.	What was the same last name of the the girlfriends of the Shadow and Superman?
6.	A comedy series featured a rotund water commissioner who was an uncle to Leroy and Marjorie. His name?
7.	Billy and Betty Fairfield and Uncle Jim were radio characters on what program?
8.	“Champion of the people, defender of truth, guardian of our fundamental rights
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” was the opening line of what famous series.
9.	Senator Beauregard Claghorn, depicted by Kenny Delmar, was the southern politician on what comedy program?
10.	What dramatic show was billed as being broadcast from “The Little Theater off Times Square?”
11.	When addressing his masked partner, Tonto, the Indian friend of the Lone Ranger, used what Indian phrase frequently?
12.	A Boston “private-eye” who was “Friend to those who have no friends, and enemy to
those who seek no friends,” was affectionately referred to by what color?
13.	What soap sponsored an hour-long drama program which recreated famous movies?
