To all who participated, especially all Religious and other well-known dignitaries, a great big Thank You for coming and heartfelt gratitude to all the Alumni members who volunteered their time to help make this event so successful!
Senator Frank J. Lausche was inducted into the Hall of. Fame and the Scholarships were presented to St. Vitus School in his honor. A Hall of fame Plaque with the Senator’s name engraved on the first space was displayed.
A cake was presented to the Senator on the occasion of his 93rd birthday with the singing group “Fantje na Vasi” offering him a rendition of a couple of Slovenian songs.
President Reagan sent his congratulations to Senator Lausche. A special letter with a blessing was also received from Pope John Paul II to all members of the St. Vitus Alumni.
Senator Lausche, in his speech, humbly gave primary honor to his dear parents for his Catholic upbringing and the values they taught him. He was overcome with great emotion and requested the school children enjoy the birthday cake.
Our gratitude is also extended to the cook - Mrs. Dular and her assistants for.the lovely dinner "she prepared, and to the great waitresses who served us so beautifully.

John Hočevar receives Medallion Circle award
by Dan J. Postotnik
At the annual Bishop Awards Dinner held at St. Nod’s Church Hall on Sunday, Oct. 23, long time active and faithful St. Vitus Holy Name Society member John J. Hočevar was awarded the prestigious Medallion Circle Award for his outstanding service to the Society.
Hočevar of 1172 Addison Rd., Cleveland, is the son of the deceased John and Anna Hočevar. Since Bishop Anthony Pilla was in Rome at the time, Auxiliary Bishop James P. Lyke, "OFM, made the presentation to Hočevar along with six other men from the seven Deaneries of Cleveland.
Hočevar began his involvement with the Holy Name Society as a youth member of the Junior Holy Name. He has been active ever since for the last 35 years. He has held the offices of Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, President for three years, and presently he is serving as Vice President.
Besides his activities in the Holy Name Society, he is a
the “Let’s Dance” social featuring The Dan Wojtila Orchestra on January 29, 1989. The dinner and dance will be held at the Crystal Lake Country Club in Pompano Beach, Florida. Rose Chase is chairing this event.
A delicious turkey dinner and all the trimmings were enjoyed by everyone. Dusan Bekar, a former chef, carved the four large roasted turkeys.
Stephany Urbanic
Lay Eucharistic Minister, a choir merqber, and active in St. Vitus Lodge No. 25 KSKJ, and Baraga Court 1317 of the Catholic Order of Foresters.
John Hočevar was born March 20, 1940 and attended St. Vitus School, Cathedral Latin High School, and John Carroll University where he graduated in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science degree. His major and minor were math and science.
John, a tall, dark, and handsome bachelor, chose education as his career. For the past 17 years he has been employed by the Cleveland Board of Education, and has been teaching math and science at the Juvenile Detention Center School.
He claims, “I was transformed from bad rilan to math man, and became a nominee fpr the Medallion Circle Award through the guidance
of my good parents and the sacrifices they made to send me through private schools.” We who have known John Hočevar all his life disagree with the first part of that statement, and would substitute the following, “John was always an exemplary individual, from childhood to adulthood, and his good parents were justly proud of him.”.
Other St. Vitus Holy Name members who have received this award in the past are Rev. Victor Cimperman, Michael Kolar, Charles Winter Sr. (deceased), Albin Orehek, and Frank Zupančič.
We congratulate you, John Hočevar, on your great achievement, and we hope many more honors will come your way during your lifetime, for the work you have done for your church and your
community.
Frank Kern, Hnnoree John Hočevar and Anton Oblak.

His themes tend to be drawn from things and people he has seen in his native village of Žiri and its environs. He says that his works stand as part of his life. “Through them 1 wish to render life as it was when I was young,” Peternelj writes, “when industrialization had not yet taken control of our lives, destroying, in my opinion, all that is beautiful both in nature and in men, for they too, in spite of their not knowing, are prone to constant changes.”
Since 1965, Peternelj has had nine personal exhibitions in Slovenia, and several others in Europe. In 1975 his works were exhibited in New York, and last year he had an exhibit in New Jersey. He has also won a number of prizes at various exhibitions, so his work surely is worth seeing.

There is ample parking on the grounds at Borromeo. The Seminary is located within sight of the 1-90 entry and exit ramps to Euclid Avenue, so access is not a problem. The Seminary is just east of the 1-90 freeway on the south side of Euclid Ave.

by Vince Gostilna Dec. 5th, the eve of St. Nicholas Day, always brings back many nostalgic memories of bygone childhood days.
It was on this night we would set out empty soup plates on the kitchen table before going to bed. And if we had been good little children during the year, old St. Nick would arrive during the night and fill the plates with goodies. Also, we set out a glass of Concord wine for St. Nick.
Imagine our happiness when arising in the morning of Dec. 6th we dashed downstairs to the kitchen to see what the good bishop had brought us.
Invariably, it was the same sweet things year after year. The plates would be heavily laden with a mixture of nuts, chiefly consisting of filberts, pecans, walnuts, brazil, hazel and others. In addition, there were oranges and apples and if it was a good year, there were pennies and nickles stuck into the fruit for good measure.
Thanks
Dear Friends,
I	would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to all the kind people who helped me during my misfortune.
Thanks for all the beautiful floral pieces, fruit baskets, gifts, Mass cards, get well cards and well wishes from near and far.
To Bishops Piha, Pevec and Lyke, I send special thanks for their concern and visits.
To Fr. Božnar, Fr. Cimperman, Fr. Tomc, and Fr. Jerse: deep appreciation for your visits at the hospital.
To the St. Vitus Mothers Club and all the faculty, staff and children at St. Vitus, Hvala lepa.
To the ladies in the cafeteria and especially to my coworkers Ann Kern and Ivanka Pretnar who are so graciously taking care of the school lunches, thanks a million.
May God Bless All of You. love,
Josie Godic Cleveland, Ohio
And on top of the pile of all these delectable goodies was an old-fashioned gingerbread St. Nicholas cookie.
Occasionally, to temper our enthusiasm, St. Nick would leave a stick or a switch which, we assumed, was for our parents’ use in the event we did not behave as we should during the year.
Somehow or other, the stick would always vanish, mysteriously, before our parents could make use of it on us. (As a precautionary measure, we youngsters would fling the stick into the roaring fire of our coal furnace.) Our parents must have been puzzled by the disappearance of the stick year after year.
And on St. Nick’s Day we would be in for some excitement at St. Vitus school. Lucifer in all his satanical ugliness would come into each classroom dragging an enormous noisy chain behind him. Presumably he was looking for the unbehaving kids and everyone in the class would sit as erect as possible and appear angelic.
Our fright soon vanished, however, when St. Nicholas dressed in a white bishops’ garment, mitre cap and staff, arrived just in the nick of time! (No pun intended.)
Old Lucifer, upon seeing the bishop, would make a hasty exit from our classroom and quickly enter another room where he might perform his diabolical antics.
St. Nicholas would then reward all of us with candy canes and Christmas candy.
All in all, it was a day that we looked forward to and somehow can’t seem to ever forget the good old days. Maybe they were simpler times, in a more easy-going era, but it must be said that life seemed to be more fun then.

Brezje church in Slovenia made Basilica
On October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Pope John Paul II signed a document in which he conferred the title of Basilica on the Marian church >n Brezje, Slovenia.
Early last year. Fr. Mirko Silvester, Guardian, and the Franciscan community at the shrine of Marija Pomagaj in Brezje requested the' help of American and Canadian Slovenes. Archbishop Sustar °f Ljubljana and the Franciscans were petitioning the Holy See to confer the honorary title of Basilica on the Brezje church.
Documentation, showing how the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of Marija Pomagaj, Our Lady 0t Brezje, had spread throughout the United States and Canada, was needed.
American and Canadian Slovenes answered this appeal with great generosity. A very targe number of letters, pictures and documents arrived in Prczje, and all were of great benefit as documentation and Proof for the petition sent to Rome.
Father Mirko has sent a let-ter, written in Slovene, graciously thanking all who sent in such letters, pictures and documents, and assuring them all these papers will be carefully preserved in the archives of the Brezje monastery.
Solemn ceremonies proclaim-
ing the shrine in Brezje as a Basilica will most likely take place next spring or early summer, because of the weather probably on the last Sunday of May.
Archbishop Sustar made public this good news at the opening of the second session, on October 22, of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Gathering.
In Roman times a basilica was a public building used as a

law court or public meeting place. In the fourth century Christians began adapting this form of basilica as a church. The most famous are the four Roman basilicas: St. Peter’s in the Vatican, St. Paul, St. Mary Major and St. John m the Lateran. Later, popes granted other churches the honorary title of Basilica, which confers certain ceremonial rights, such as precedence of its clergyy and special insignia.
The church of Our Lady, Mother of Grace in Maribor, and the churches in Petrovče, Brestanica (Rajhenburg), Stična and Sveta gora by Gorica, all in Slovenia, already bear the honorary title of Basilica. In Chicago, Our Lady of Sorrows church, where the Novena to our Sorrowful Mother originated about fifty years ago, bears this title of Basilica.

Saint Vitus Calendar Fund 1989
Listed below are brief explanations for the St. Vitus Calendar Fund event. Please take a few minutes to read and consider this request. Thank you.
WHAT: The purpose of the calendar event is to raise funds for the future of St. Vitus parish. This includes the schools (English and Slovenian) and parish. This will be a six-year project to meet with the 100th year anniversary of St. Vitus in 1993.
WHY: Each parish is to share responsibility for planning its future. The calendar event is but one way we will share the future financial obligations for St. Vitus.
WHO: We anticipate each adult parishioner will purchase at least one calendar per year for the next six years.

Inflation Is The Big Problem
Editor:
Statistics are a useful but argumentative tool of Americana. They have a personality of their own. According to any biased interpretation, statistics can be used to proclaim a hero or a villian. Toss a coin and take your pick.
Let us look at this 4.5 or 5 percent inflation range recently suggested in American Home. We can accept government or banking figures or we can use a yardstick as determined by ordinary people on Main Street. People who are assaulted by inflation - that is — those who are familiar with required daily purchases are far more affected with what is happening inside their wallets than any government announcements.
The government uses a “consumer basket” to gauge inflation. Because a consumer’s needs are far ranging, they cannot confine themselves to restricted “baskets.” Here is a list of very miniature assortment of price increases, evidently not yet in the government “basket” but nevertheless unavoidable when making purchases or payment. The Girard (Ohio) sewer rates
increased 61 percent, doctors visitation 11 percent, Readers Digest subscription 14 percent, barber shop fee 9 percent, safe deposit box 60 percent, boxed cereals - let the buyer beware. And hospitals, insurance and transportation are also villians of price increases.
Put figures like these in a grinder and we can manipulate a 4 or 5 percent inflation increase, or we can be factual and determine we are, indeed, beginning to climb a high mountain slope of inflation.
Then again, news released from the White House, after the election, regarding the possible foreclosures on 80,000 farms by Christmas, suggests someone is speaking with a “forked tongue.”
In my opinion, dwarfing the size of inflation is a government device to downgrade the scale of Social Security payments. Consumers should recognize inflation whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head. Changes in any platforms, programs and announcements should not go unnoticed nor unchallenged by consumers whatever their political affiliation.

What Does Turkey Do With Its Wishbone?
Everyone knows what to do with a bird’s wishbone. But what does the bird do with it?
For scientists who’ve longed for an answer to that question while tugging at the wishbone— or pullie bone, as it’s also	called—after
Thanksgiving dinner, their wish may have finally come true. Two Harvard University paleontologists and a Northern Arizona University physiologist say they have figured out the secret of the wishbone.
To find the answer, the three scientists put some starlings in a wind tunnel and took X-ray movies of the birds’ skeletons as they flew in winds ranging from 20 to 40 miles per hour.
The movies show the furcula, as the .wishbone is known technically, acts like a spring when a bird is flying, report Parish Jenkens and Kenneth Dial of Harvard and Ted Goslow of Northern Arizona University in the recent issue of the journal Science.
When the birds are at rest, the two tips of the wishbone are about half an inch apart, the researchers say. But when the wings are stroking downward during flight the tips spread out until they are about three-quarters of an inch apart at the end of the downstroke. On the upstroke of the wings, the tips spring back to their original position.
The scientists also found that the breastbone, or sternum, located just behind the wishbone’s junction, moves
up and down during flight.
What good is all this to the bird? The scientists speculate these moving bones push air through the bird’s body during flight. They base their theory on the air sacs that birds have scattered through their bodies, including some between the prongs of the wishbone and others near the breastbone. It’s possible, the scientists say, that the moving bones alternately deflate and expand the air sacs, forcing air from one sac to another during flight.
Starlings, for example, only inhale and exhale three times a second, while their wings flap 12 to 16 times a second. So, the scientists theorize, the springy wishbone and moving breastbone may be a way of moving air about the body between breathy.

Dizziness

QUESTION: During (he past year, I have had several attacks of dizziness and nausea that last about a day. Between attacks, I feel fine. An ear specialist says I probably have Meniere’s disease. Can this disease be treated?
ANSWER: Meniere’s disease, or fluid buildup in the labyrinth of the inner ear, can be alarming and debilitating. Your symptoms, recurrent dizziness and nausea lasting approximately 24 hours, are typical.
In addition, patients usually report fluctuating hearing loss and roaring or buzzing sounds in the affected ear. A

subgroup of patients have a condition called vestibular Meniere’s disease that results in balance problems without hearing changes.
To diagnose Meniere’s disease, I recommend a full evaluation that includes audiometric and vestibular testing and possible CT or MR scans. Sometimes a metabolic evaluation is necessary to look for changes in blood sugar or fats and to rule out a blood in-fection or auto-immune disorder in the inner ear.
The first step in treating Meniere’s disease is to restrict

dietary salt intake to less than 3 grams per day. Water pills, or diuretics, often help. I have found these steps helpful in controlling the condition.
In large studies of patients with Meniere’s disease, food allergies have been implicated in 4 to 5 percent of cases. These patients are generally quite aware that certain foods will precipitate an attack, and they try to avoid them.
The natural course of Meniere’s disease is very unpredictable. Some patients recover without any treatment. Others respond to medical treatment, but some do not. Surgery can be performed to eliminate the attacks of vertigo; an artificial drainage system can be created in the inner ear, or a nerve can be severed to stop the attacks of dizziness.
I hope that research will help us better understand the underlying causes of this incapacitating disease.

AMERIŠKA DOMOVINA, DECEMBER 2, 1988
Jadransko morje ogroženo
Olepšavanje dejstvu mu ne koristi
Jadran, severni del Sredozemskega morja, leži med Balkanom in Apeninskim polotokom in po dolžini meri 783 km, poprečno je 173 km širok in okoli 170 metrov globok. Severni del Jadrana pa je poprečno bistveno * bolj plitek, namreč nekaj čez 20 metrov. V Jadranu že več kot deset let vr-tajo za zemejj^up plinom in nafto, medtem ju že tudi črpajo, in to tako italijanske kakor tudi jugoslovanske energetske družbe v sodelovanju s tujimi družbami. Ena qd teh družb je INA, jugoslovanska naftna družba, ki je bila v bistvu pokrovitelj zadnjega srečanja članic Delovne skupnosti Alpe-Jadran.
25. 9. 1988 v Splitu, kjer so se menili o raziskavi, koriščenju in varstvu Jadranskega morja in ugotovili, da »Jadransko morje in ves obalni prostor predstavljata pomembno naravno vrednoto, ki je bistven dejavnik razvoja rte samo dežel članic Delovne skupnosti Alpe-Jadran, ki neposredno gospodarijo s tem področjem, temveč tudi ostalih dežel članic, ki gravitirajo v ta prostor«.
V ta prostor pa ne gravitirajo le članice Delovne skupnosti Alpe-Jadran, ampak predvsem v poletnih, turističnih mesecih je na obalah Jadrana na tisoče turistov iz cele Evrope, torej tudi takih dežel, ki jih razen porjavele kože svojih državljanov nič ne druži z Jadranom.
Vsi ti tisoči sonca in oddiha lačnih turistov pa so letos poleti na Jadranu doživeli precej negativno presenečenje, ki ga noben prospekt in tudi noben turistični biro ni imel na spisku ponudb in destinacij. To je bil tako imenovani »beli sneg«, to je ljudski opis za cvetenje planktona.
To cvetenje, ki ga spremljajo sluzaste alge, penetranten smrad, letos pa tudi na jate crknjenih ribr se navadno pojavi prej ali,ppznpje, nikakor pa ne v tem času. Vsa nesnaga je zginila šele, ko je močan veter razburkal fnorje in ga krepko premešal, prt čemer so končno tudj^loWje vodne plasti dobile njUjjno potreben kisik.
Pod plastjp^cvetočega planktona oz. alg je prav zaradi pomanjkanja kisika že začelo odmirati življenje v morju.
Morski biologi so že leta prerokovali ta kolaps Jadranskega morja in v bistvu se lahko spet ponovi, če ne bo takoj ustreznih in rigoroznih ukrepov.
Eden od glavnih vzrokov tega katastrofalnega razvoja Jadrana je ta, da z rekami stalno dotekajo neverjetne količine fosfatov, nitratov in dušikov v morje, ki so najboljše gnojilo za alge. Te se potem tako bohotno razvijajo, da okoli sebe podušijo vse, kar živi, in končno še same sebe. "Tej dnevni porciji gnojila se pridružijo še masovni turizem in pa odpadki iz hotelov in od-
rw ' ■ ' il.Ki "
plake obalnih mest, vasi in naselbin ter nekontrolirano spuščanje nafte in naftnih derivatov v morje.
V splitskem papirju je med drugim zapisano, naj »pristojni organi Delovne skupnosti, posebno Komisija za urejanje prostora in varstvo okolja ter delovna skupina za znanstve-no-tehnološko sodelovanje v svojih .aktivnostih posvetijo posebno pozornost preprečevanju raznih oblik onesnaženja okolja, posebno Jadranskega morja, ter razvoju obstoječih in iskanju novih tehnoloških rešitev za zmanjševanje strupenih snovi v industrijski proizvodnji in odpadnih vodah«. Vladi SFRJ in pa Italije pa v tem papirju pozivajo, naj sprejmeta nujne ukrepe za zavarovanje Jadranskega morja pred onesnaženjem.
Res lepe besede. Samo, ali jim sledijo dejanja? Ali se turisti zavedajo, da hoteli ob obali vse odplake, tudi straniščne, spuščajo v morje? Sicer ne tik ob obali, vsakomur na očeh, ampak nekaj sto metrov zunaj v morju. Torej bo treba začeti tudi tukaj in končno obvezno za vsakogar, privatnika in po-družabljen sektor, vasi in mesta predpisati (in tudi zgraditi) čistilne naprave. Isto velja za industrijske komplekse, ki svoje odplake spuščajo v vode, te pa jih transportirajo v Jadran. Strogo prepovedati bo
treba spuščanje olja v morje oz. praznjenje ladijskih tankov. Vsekakor najmanj pa bo bolnemu Jadranskemu morju pomagalo splošno sprenevedanje odgovornih, najsi na regionalni ali državni ravni. Ne vem, komu koristijo take besede, kakor smo jih čuli v Splitu, češ da je Jadransko morje čisto, lepo in da je, če sploh, samo na redkih mestih onesnaženo, nasplošno pa da kvaliteta vode še zmeraj odgovarja strogemu standardu, ki velja za vode, namenjene oddihu in kopanju.
Morski biologi so nasprotno že dognali, da je morsko dno na nekaj desetinah hektarjev že docela mrtvo in da se biološka puščava na morskem dnu katastrofalno razširja, ne pa zožuje.
Kako se bo vse to končalo, doslej še nihče ne ve. Ali bo uspelo rešiti Jadransko morje pred ekološkim infarktom ali pa ga bo z našo pomočjo in edinole zaradi civilizacijskih rfapak in objestnosti človeka doletela ista usoda kot Severno morje.
Vsekakor pa bo Delovna skupnost Alpe-Jadran praznovala svojo deseto obletnico prav v Benetkah, kjer so, kakor je bilo čuti, domačini in turisti zelo zelo trpeli.za posledicami »cvetočega morja« ali »belega snega« letos poleti.

- PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV -
Načelnik podružnice Ljubljanske banke v
New Yorku in jugoslovanski konzul v
Chicagu obtožena kriminalnih dejanj
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Včeraj je zvezna porota v tem mestu obtožila skupino petih ljudi, da so sodelovali v nezakonitem transferiranju denarja iz Amerike v Jugoslavijo in nazaj. Na ta kompliciran način je namreč mogoče prikrivati izvor iz nezakonitih aktivnosti pridobljenega denarja. V angleščini je beseda za to »laundering«. Kar je zanimivo pri tej sicer že ustaljeni aktivnosti je to, da so obtoženci jugoslovanski državljani ali jugoslovanskega rodu.
Tako je porota obtožila načelnika podružnice Ljubljanske banke v New Yorku (LBS Bank of New York Inc.) Vinka Mira sodelovanja v tej kriminalni zaroti. Obtožen je bil tudi jugoslovanski konzul v Chicagu Bahrudin Bijedič. Bijedič, ki ima diplomatsko imuniteto (kar ne velja za V. Mira), je menda uporabljal kovčke z diplomatskim pečatom, da je pošiljal denar v gotovini v neko zagrebško banko, ta je potem denar nakazila nazaj v ZDA, pri tem poslu pa so obtoženci zase obdržali 6 ali 7 odstotkov gotovine kot njih plačilo za usluge. Aretiran je bil v Philadelphiji tudi neki priseljenec iz Jugoslavije, ki je menda s svojimi prijatelji in znanci imel velik gobec in dejal, da se ukvarja tudi s Špijonažo. Poročilo na televiziji sinoči ga je celo označila za člana jugoslovanske tajne policije.
William von Raab, komišener ameriške carinske službe, ki je vodila preiskavo, je dejal na tiskovni konferenci, da se preiskava nadaljuje in da bo morda prišlo do novih aretacij. Poudaril pa je, da ni nobenega dokaza, da bi bila udeležena v zadevi jugoslovanska vlada. Po objavi obtožbe so agenti zvezne vlade pričeli z aretacijo obtožencev. Ako bo njihova krivda dokazana na sodišču, jih čaka več let zapora in globe v znesku do 6 milijonov dolarjev. Konzul Bijedič bo pa moral ZDA zapustiti.
Avstralska vlada zaprla jugoslovanski konzulat v Sydneyu ter izgnala vse diplomate
SYDNEY, Avstra. — Danes je vlada Avstralije odredila, da mora Jugoslavija zapreti svoj konzulat v tem mestu, vsi diploma-ti in drugi uslužbenci z njih družinami pa Morajo Avstralijo zapustiti v 72 urah. Do tega ukrepa je prišlo zaradi jugoslovanskega ravnanja v zvezi z incidentom, do katerega je Prišlo preteklo nedeljo. Pred konzulatom se Je namreč zbralo večje število izseljencev iz Jugoslavije, ki so demonstrirali proti SFRJ. Napeto stanje je bilo preveč za nekega var-rostnika, jugoslovanskega državljana, zapo-slenega pri konzulatu. Ta je potegnil revol-Ver in streljal proti demonstrantom. Zadel in težje je ranil v vratu nekega mladeniča.
Avstralske oblasti so zahtevale od Jugoslavije, da omenjenega varnostnika izroči-•1°. kar je pa Jugoslavija odklonila. Varnost-[hk je ostal v prostorih konzulata, ki seveda 'ma extrateritorialni status. Menda je inci-dent sprožil precejšnje ogorčenje med Av-stralci, vlada je zato zavzela močno stališče, ^ je vodilo do današnje odločbe za zaprtje konzulata. Po mednarodnih diplomatskih Pravilih pa pomeni avstralska akcija, da ^ora Avstralija dovoliti varen odhod iz dr-2ave tudi varnostnika, ki ga je hotela aretira-’n ga postaviti pred sodišče. Vsekakor je Pa incident hud udarec odnosom med Av-stralijo in Jugoslavijo. V Avstraliji je Oamreč zelo veliko priseljencev iz SFRJ, med nPmi tudi precej Slovencev.
Sovjetski parlament po nenavadno odprti debati odobril vrsto političnih reform — Gorbačov: Ličimo se, kaj je demokracija
MOSKVA, ZSSR — Včeraj je sovjetski parlament z veliko večino odobril paket političnih reform, ki jih je bilo predložilo osrednje sovjetsko vodstvo pod vodstvom Mi-haila S. Gorbačova. V svojih govorih na zasedanju Vrhovnega sovjeta je Gorbačov dejal, da bodo reforme pospešile demokratizacijo sovjetskega sistema in vodile do napredka v bodoče. Debata o reformah je pa bila nenavadno odkrita. Predvsem delegati iz baltskih republik so izrazili nasprotovanje do tistih predlaganih sprememb, ki dajejo več moči osrednji vladi v Moskvi na račun pravic posameznih sovjetskih republik. Nič niso v debati dosegli, zato je pet delegatov glasovalo proti paketu, 27 jih je pa vzdržalo glasovanje, kar je za sovjetske razmere neza-slišno. Gorbačov je sicer priznal, da so bile nekatere predlagane spremembe slabo pojasnjene, da pa se vsi v ZSSR v novih razmerah učijo demokratičnih pravil in da bodo torej napake.
Zanimive med parlamentarno razpravo so bile tudi izjave delegatov iz sprtih republik Armenije in Azerbaidžana, prav tako govor predstavnika kremeljskega vodstva za ugotavljanje razmer v obeh republikah Arkadija Volskega. Volskij je očital voditeljem obeh republik, da niso storili dovolj za preprečitev izgredov in da so itak napeto stanje še poostrili. Zahodni opazovalci sovjetskih razmer pričakujejo veliko čistko v vodstvih obeh republik. Sovjetski tisk poroča, da je v izgredih v obeh republikah izgubilo življenje 28 ljudi. Neuradni in nepotrjeni viri pa govorijo o veliko večjem številu žrtev.
Včeraj je sovjetsko vodstvo dalo 45 znanim oporečnikom, ki želijo emigrirati iz ZSSR, da bodo v kratkem dobili izstopne vizume. Zahodni analitiki povezujejo to akcijo z obiskom Gorbačova v Londonu in New Yorku prihodnji teden.
— Kratke vesti —
Cape Canaveral, Fla. — Strokovnjaki
NASA skušajo izstreliti v vesolje danes zjutraj zrakoplan Atlantis, na katerem je petčlanska vojaška posadka. Astronavti bodo med obkroženjem zemeljskega obla izpustili vojaški obveščevalni satelit, ki bo zbiral podatke o sovjetski vojaški pripravljenosti. Vreme je menda ugodno, sinoči pa so morali popraviti manjšo okvaro na izstrelitveni raketi.
Tel Aviv, Izr. — Izrael poroča, da je
prišlo do ugrabitve znotraj sovjetskega zračnega prostora civilnega potniškega letala. Sovjeti so Izraelcem dali vedeti, da bo letalo, ki je sedaj na letališču nekje v SZ, lahko prišlo v Izrael.
Washington, D.C. — Včeraj je predsednik Reagan dejal, da ni nima namena pomilostiti polk. Oliverja Northa pred odhodom iz Bele hiše. Rekel pa je, da bo protivil izročitev strogo zaupnih vladnih dokumentov, ki jih za obrambo njihovega klienta zahtevajo Northovi odvetniki. Zadnjo besedo o izročitvi bo pa imel pristojni sodnik oziroma okrožni zvezni sodnik Gerhard Gesell.
Islamabad, Pak. — Benazir Bhutto, 35-
letna hčerka bivšega pakistanskega predsednika, bo sestavila novo pakistansko vlado. Tako bo postala prva ženska, ki je kdaj vodila katero muslimansko državo.

LOJZE GALIČ — 80-letnik
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - Za 80. rojstni dan — 4. decembra — ti vsi, ki te osebno poznamo kot delavnega Slovenca in aktivnega člana SKD Triglav, DSPB Tabor, Jugoslovanskega Sokola v Ameriki in Društva slovenskih upokojencev — pa prav gotovo vsi tisti, ki te poslušajo ali berejo tvoje dopise (Mimogrede iz Mihvau-keeja) v Ameriški Domovini — želimo dobrega zdravja in zadovoljnega življenja ob tvoji skrbeči ženi Frances. Še na mnoga leta!
Prijatelji
Slavljenec Lojze Galič se je rodil 4. decembra 1908 v Ljubljani, kjer je živel 33 let, torej do L 1941, ko se je pričela za Jugoslavijo druga svetovna vojna in z njo nepotrebna, krvava rdeča revolucija. Radi svoje slovenske zavednosti in antikomunističnega prepričanja, je moral naš jubilant s prisilo in uklenjen zapustiti rod-
no domovino. V Italiji in kasneje v Nemčiji se je moral vdati brezpravnemu življenju interniranca in vojnega ujetnika, vse do razsula Italije L 1943 in nato Nemčije 1. 1945.
Leta 1950 je prišel v Ameriko. K naši sreči ga je Bog pripeljal v lepo mesto Milwaukee, kjer se je zaposlil pri Sor-gel-Square D Co., se oženil s postavno in dobro ženo Frances in si ustvaril dom. Sedaj skupno z ženo Frances in s številnimi prijatelji preživlja jesen svojega življenja v veselem razpoloženju in še kar pri dobrem zdravju. In takega naj ga Bog ohrani še dolgo vrsto let. Prisrčne čestitke od tvojih milwauških prijateljev!
Zvestemu dopisniku Lojzetu Galiču čestitam tudi jaz. Doslednejšega dopisnika, ki vsak mesec pošilja redno poročilo o dogajanjih v Milwau-keeju in okolici, bralci našega lista nimajo, poleg tega nas
Lojze Galič
nagrajuje tudi s priložnostnimi dopisi. Osebno sem bil pred leti ob obisku Milwaukeeja deležen prisrčnega gostoljubja g. Lojzeta in žene Frances. Za vse zasluge in zvestobo našemu listu in meni osebno, iskrena hvala! Še na mnoga leta, dragi Lojze!

Bushova vlada in Jugoslavija
Z 20. januarjem 1989 bodo imele Združene države novega predsednika. To bo George Bush, 64-letni zmerni konservativec, ki je služil zadnjih osmih let kot podpredsednik pod Ronaldom Reaganom. Bush ima bogate izkušnje na področju zunanje politike in je pričakovati, da bo igral veliko aktivnejšo vlogo pri snovanju in vodenju ameriške zunanje politike, kot je Reagan. Bush je imenoval svojega ožjega prijatelja in svetovalca ter bivšega zakladnega tajnika Jamesa Bakerja za novega državnega sekretarja, za svetovalca za nacionalno varnost pa bivšega generala Brenta Scowcrofta. Tako Bushova osebna politična kariera kot ti dve imenovanji kažejo, da bo ameriška zunanja politika pod Bushom pragmatičnejša in manj ideološka kot je bila pod Reaganom. To ugetne imeti posledice tudi za odnose oziroma za stališče Bele hiše in State Departmenta do Jugoslavije, kar pa seveda zadeva Slovenijo in vse, ki se za Slovenijo in njeno usodo zanimamo, tako v Sloveniji kot izven nje.
Poudariti je treba, da je gen. Scowcroft povezan z bivšim državnim sekretarjem pod Richardom Nixonom Henry-jem Kissingerjem. Upravičeno lahko sklepamo torej, da so Scowcroftova gledanja na svet precej podobna Kissinger-jevim. Kaj to pomeni v zvezi z ameriško-slovenskimi odnosi z Jugoslavijo pod Bushom moremo razbrati iz dejstva, da je v Kissingerjevi skupini somišljenikov tudi bivši ameriški veleposlanik v Jugoslaviji in nekdanji visoki funkcionar v State Departmentu Lawrence Eagleburger, ki je po odhodu iz vladne službe cjobil zaposlitev pri podjetju, ki prodaja Vugo avtomobile. Eagleburger nikoli ni hotel delati nobenih težav jugoslovanskemu režimu, ne pod Titom in ne po njegovi smrti. Za njega kot za njegovega mentorja Kissingerja je vedno bilo in brez dvoma je še' poglavitno to, da je treba Jugoslavijo kot tako ohraniti za skoro vsako ceno. Iz tega sledi, da je treba osrednjo vlado v Beogradu podpirati tako politično kot finančno, da bi država le ne razpadla, kajti bi bile za ameriške strateške interese posledice razpada Jugoslavije nepredvidljive in bi morda s takim izidom Jugoslavija zopet postala nekak sod smodnika, ki bi nevarno zaostril odnose med velesilama. Ni še nobenega znaka, da so novejši dogodki to osnovno gledanje v kateri koli obliki pri omenjenih državnikih kaj spremenili. Novost je na primer to, da ni več avtomatično pričakovati, da bi v slučaju razpada Jugoslavije nujno vkorakale v to deželo sovjetske čete, bodisi same ali v sodelovanju s četami držav Varšavskega sporazuma. Edina realna izjema bi bila, če bi zopet prišlo do množičnega medsebojnega klanja med sprtimi narodnostnimi skupinami na jugu države, kar nikakor ni mogoče izključiti. Vendar tudi v tem skrajnem slučaju bi bilo pričakovati, da bi se ZDA in ZSSR skupno z drugimi prizadetimi državami skušale dogovoriti, če in kako intervenirati, da ja ne bi prišlo do prekinitve detantne atmosfere, ki sedaj tako močno vsaj na videzu prevladuje.
Vsi, ki se zanimamo za slovenske in jugoslovanske raz-
IZ NEWYORSKE PROSVETE...
Tretja nedelja v novembru je bila prva v vseh letih naše farne prosvete, da sem se zaradi neugodnega vremena resno bal, ali bo prišlo na uro toliko ljudi in med njimi zlasti takih, ki bi morali nastopiti, da bomo mogli, čeprav s skrajšanim sporedom z uro začeti in jo uspešno končati. Lilo je kot iz škafa že celo noč in v jutranjih urah so bili nalivi še hujši.
Lepo število prosvetarjev ni moglo priti, tudi Če bi ne deževalo, kakor na primer vsa Zupanova družina je bila bolna z
izjemo mamice Marije, vsa Klesinova družina je morala iti k hčerki v Fairfield. Drugi, razen tistih, ki živio 50 ali 70 milj daleč, so prišli v velikem številu kljub neurju. Tisti, ki so prišli z Long Islanda ali iz Westchester okolice, so mi povedali, kako nevarno je bilo voziti se z avtomobili. Povsod so naleteli na ponesrečence, razbite avtomobile in policijo.
Prvi del sporeda smo posvetili Sloveniji.
Marjana Burgar je recitirala v prevodu kratek in jedrnat
opis Slovenije iz revije »Travel«. Ona in Marija Zupan sta recitirali v angleškem in slovenskem jeziku pesem »Slovenija«, kakor jo je doživela in opisala 16-letna slovenska deklica iz Avstralije. V pesmi je več živih primerov, polno ljubezni in občudovanja izgubljene domovine, ki je nova domovina ne more nadomestiti. Prof. P. Remec nam je povedal, kaj so pisali veliki slovenski pisatelji in pesniki o svojem jeziku. Navajam samo dva primera:
Slomšek: »Kot hvaležen sin svoje ljube matere želim, naj bi bila slovenska moja poslednja beseda, prav kakor je bila slovenska moja prva.«
Pregelj: »Beseda materina! O, kolika blagodat človeku od Boga! Podoba lica materinega, glej, kadar je v grobu, ugasnila ti je. Toplota, lepota in dobrota materine besede pa šumi do tvojega groba v ušesu in se ne zgubi.«
In kako je učil Bevk svoje primorske rojake, ko so padli pod italijansko sužnost po prvi svetovni vojni: »Morda bo v tem hramu za dolgo umolknila molitev v vašem jeziku. Toda prosim vas, le eno vas prosim, rotim vas, oklepajte se svojega jezika... ne dajte si ga vzeti, ne pretrgajte vezi z Bogom! Pride dan, ko bo zopet poveličan. Pride, ker Bog je pravičen!«
In te preroške besede Bevka so se izpolnile za večino p° drugi vojni.
Končala je prvi del Kati Delak z lepim recitalom Jerucove pesmi »Zakaj si daleč, domovina«.
V odmoru smo se spomnili na kratko pred enim letom umrlega vnetega prosvetarja ih neupogljivega Slovenca ing-Simona Kregarja, častitali Tonetu Osovniku k njegovi petinsedemdesetletnici in objavili> da je umrl 92 let stari faran John Gril.
Drugi del sporeda je tn* krajši, pa zato bolj prisrčen in (dalje na str. 1 1)
mere, naj torej ne mislimo, da bodo ZDA nujno vodile pametnejšo politiko do Jugoslavije, kot bi jo bila vodila Dukakisova administracija. In je jasno, da posebej v Beogradu srbsko vodstvo zelo računa na ameriško podporo, ko si prizadeva za »enotnejšo« torej unitarističnejšo državno strukturo. Kot dokaz za to trditev, citiram daljši odlomek iz poročila, ki ga je napisala za revijo Teleks v Ljubljani (11. nov. 1988) Mojca Drčar-Murko v zvezi s srbskimi napadi na slovenskega predsednika Janeza Stanovnika zaradi nekaterih Stanovnikovih izjav med zasebnim obiskom v Washingtonu pred nedavnim:
»Primer: ko je bil val mitingov solidarnosti s Srbi in Črnogorci na višku, se je po Beogradu razširil glas o tem, da so se ZDA nagnile na stran srbskega kurza, ker samo ta 'zagotavlja učinkovitost in trdnost države'. Govorice so bile podkurjene z obiskom Lawrencea Eagleburgerja, nekdanjega ameriškega veleposlanika in prav tako nekdanjega člana Reaganovega štaba, v Beogradu. Govorice niso bile omejene na ožje kroge, kajti tudi tuji časopisi so pisali o Miloševiču kot sposobnem biznismanu in 'osebnem prijatelju Lawrencea Eagleburgerja'. Ni bilo treba imeti veliko domišljije, če je hotel nekdo mimogrede prikazati osebno prijateljstvo kot znamenje naklonjenosti supersile eni od struj v tekočem jugoslovanskem konfliktu. Vsi, ki se ukvarjamo z mednarodnimi odnosi in se tudi srečujemo s tujimi novinarji in diplomati, bi lahko rekli, da je imela ta diskretna diplomacija kar velik vpliv na nastajanje mnenja v Zahodni Evropi in Ameriki, da pred kaosom in državljansko vojno (česar si Zahod zdaj sploh ne želi) lahko Jugoslavijo reši le Slobodan Miloševič. S temi elementi so nastopali v tujini tudi ugledni srbski intelektualci, nekdanji oporečniki, zdaj sopotniki novega srbskega nacionalnega programa.«
Kljubovati je treba temu ameriškemu vladnemu gledanju na Jugoslavijo, ki ignorira obenem interese nesrbskih delov SFRJ in tudi prizadevanja mnogih v Sloveniji in drugih republikah za demokratizacijo. Zato moramo iskati načine, kako naj posredujemo temeljne slovenske narodne interese ameriški vladi in zveznemu kongresu ter jih tudi zagovarjati — ustrezno argumentirano seveda — v sredstvih množičnega informiranja. Kako to storiti je drugo vprašanje, h kateremu pa se bomo v doglednem času vrnili.

Učenci in učenke, ki obiskujejo prvi razred Slovenske šole pri Sv. Vidu, so letos pisali pisma sv. Miklavžu, ki jih pride obiskat to nedeljo popoldne ob treh v šolski dvorani. Komaj čakajo na njegov obisk. Z veseljem objavljamo njih pisma tako, kot so bila dobrosrčnemu svetniku poslana.

SV. MIKLAVŽ obiskuje Slovensko šolo pri Sv. Vidu kakor tudi Slovensko šolo pri Mariji Vnebovzeti že mnoga leta. Naš posnetek ga kaže na enem njegovih prejšnjih obiskov. Obljubil je seveda, da bo prišel It Sv. Vidu tudi to nedeljo popoldne in da bo skušal upoštevati prošnje in želje, ki so jih v svojih pismih izrazili prvorazredniki svetovalske Slovenske šole.
Iz Newyorske prosvete
(nadaljevanje s str. 2)
Čustven, saj je bil posvečen našim umrlim...
Helka Puc Clement je recitirala jasno, nežno in občuteno Cankarjevo zgodbo »Njen grob«. Andrej in Inge Zupančič sta lepo recitirala pesem Severina Šalija »Verni duši materini«. In nato — presenečenje!
Nastopila je njuna sestrica mala Metka in zapela solo, brez spremljave in vodstva pesem »Tam kjer teče bistra Žila«. Vsi so onemeli in začudeni strmeli v malo deklico. Pela je prijetno, toplo in prisrčno. Ko je končala, je doživela aplavz, kakor ga že nisem slišal precej let na uri. Metka, Bog ti bo poplačal, da si tako lepo razvnela naše drage pro-svetarje. Vsi smo ponosni nate, najbolj pa seveda tvoji dobri starši in stari starši. Metka, vztrajaj, pa boš morda našla pot celo v Metropolitan opero!
Nato je njena mama Marinka, naša odlična solistka, zapela vedno lepo in ganljivo pesem »Mami, oj mami«. Na klavirju jo je spremljal R. Nanut, ki je v Ameriki na oddihu. Tokrat nisem gledal po dvorani, koliko navzočih je imelo solze v očeh, ker jih je imel nekdo pri moji mizi in sem jih sam komaj zadrževal.
Za konec je Helka Puc Clement recitirala pesem »Ded se poslavlja«, jaz pa »Molitev ideološkega emigranta«. Prvo je napisal Slovenec , iz Južne Amerike, drugo pa Slovenec iz Severne Amerike. Obe pesmi
Prisrčne čestitke g. Rudiju Knezu
PEORIA, 111. - Malo pozno, vendar nič manj prisrčno želimo g. Rudiju Knezu za njegov 70. rojstni dan vse najboljše in kličemo na mnoga zdrava in srečna leta, sorodniki iz Peori-je, Anica Sajnovič, hčerka Silva, mož Arnold, Kristy in Michelle!
sta primerni za razmišljanje v novembru, ko se spominjamo svojih umrlih in sami čakamo, da se nam življenje izteče. Obe prilagam temu dopisu.'
Dr. Zdravko Kalan
Ded se poslavlja
Pod rodno streho lastovka se vsako leto vrne,
4 a mene tuja zemljica za vekomaj zagrne.
Ne bo nad grobom milo pel mi zvon domače fare ne bodo pošumevale žalujke vrbe stare.
Iz nageljna slovenskega mi šopek naredite in vsako leto na ta dan na grob ga položite.
Polonca, ti, Polončiča si solzo z lic obriši, na križ nagrobni v tih spomin takole mi zapiši:
Tu sredi pampe žalostne naš dedek dotrpel je, do zadnjega, do zadnjega po domu hrepene! je...
Molitev ideološkega emigranta
Kadar jastreb med kokoši plane,
razbežijo se na vse strani. Rešijo se vse — samo ena ne, ta za druge vse — mrtva obleži.
Ko vihar jeseni gozd zadene, veje lomi, listje razprši. Odslužilo je — zato naj gnije, rodom novim zemljo pognoji. Bog nas po vsem svetu je razpodil.
Odslužili smo svoj rok doma. Kako? On je in bo še sodit.
Le njegova sodba res velja.
Mnogi že trohnijo v tuji zemlji. Grob pozabljen bo čez nekaj let.
Kmalu pridemo še mi za njimi zapustivši ta nesrečni svet.
Ker že mrtvi nismo obležali in s smrtjo drugih reševati. Usmili se nas — dobri Bože moj,
da bomo novim rodom vsaj za gnoj.
ZAHVALA
CLEVELAND, O. - Nikoli nisem pričakoval kakega posebnega priznanja za svoje kulturno delo, zato sem bil zelo presenečen, ko sem videl, kaj vse so mi pripravili za moj sedemdeseti rojstni dan.
Predvsem bi se rad zahvalil g. župniku Kumšetu in Slovenski šoli, zlasti predsedniku g. Jožetu Tomcu in ge. Marici Lavriševi, ki so to proslavo organizirali.
Najprej smo se udeležili zahvalne sv. maše pri Mariji Vnebovzeti, ki jo je daroval g. župnik ob somaševanju g. Božnarja, g.-Krajnika in misijonarja g. Rozmana, za kar se jim iskreno zahvaljujem. Slovesnost sv. maše je povzdignil naš cerkveni pevski zbor, ki je pod vodstvom Dominika Gor-šeta tako- lepo prepeval izbrane, meni priljubljene pesmi. Berila in prošnje so brali otroci Slovenske šole. Nadvse prisrčno in lepo je bilo. Iskrena hvala vsem, ki so se udeležili in sodelovali pri tej sv. maši.
Iz cerkve smo šli v Slovenski dom na Holmes Ave. na slavnostni banket. Hvala ge. Julki Zalar in njenim pomočnicam, ki so nam pripravile in postregle z okusnim kosilom.
Iz srca sem vsem hvaležen za lep spored in voščila: Otrokom Slovenske šole, ki so prinesli lepo okrašeno torto — delo ge. Zofke Mazi — šopek nageljnov, ter mi pod vodstvom Janeza Nemca voščili in zapeli. Hvala Johanci Bajc, ki je tako lepo deklamirala pesmico, ki jo je za to priliko sestavil njen ata. Nadalje, hvala Janezu Tomincu za lepo podano recitacijo o moji življenjski poti in še posebna hvala tistemu, ki jo je tako odlično in duhovito spesnil.
Hvala skupini Mladih harmonikarjev, Dominiku in Emily Gorše, Janezu Nemcu in Andreju Tomcu, ki so moj-stersko izvajali Avsenikovo pesem Pastirček. Prisrčna hvala zboru Korotan, zlasti še Martini Jakomin in Marjanci Tominc, ki sta me v imenu zbora pozdravili in čestitali. Naj lepša hvala dramatskemu društvu Liliji in prijatelju Mirotu Odarju, ki mi je v imenu društva izrekel prisrčna vo- ’ ščila, ter za lep šopek, ki mi ga je izročil mladi Franci Zalar.
Hvala g. Jožetu Melaherju za čestitke v imepu Baragovega doma, ter Vinkotu Rozmanu za voščila dtuštva S.P.B. Hvala Lojzetu Mohorju, ki mi je voščil vse najboljše v imenu našega cerkvenega zbora, ki nas je tudi v dvorani razveselil s svojim petjem. Prav tako se zahvaljujem tudi Ameriški Domovini za čestitke in za objavljene članke ob tej priložnosti.
Končno, najlepša hvala za lepe šopke, darila in voščila, ki so mi jih mnogi izrekli bodisi osebno ali pismeno, posebno pa še vsem, ki ste prišli na praznovanje moje sedemdesetletnice, da smo skupaj preživeli ta prijeten nedeljski popoldan, ki mi bo vedno ostal v najlepšem spominu.

786. Misijonska nedelja MZA Gilbert
Družba sv. Mohorja v Celovcu	15. novembra 1988
Adventno in božično pismo vsem poverjenikom in dobrotnikom
Dragi prijatelji in dobrotniki!
Bližajo se adventni tedni in božični prazniki. V teh dneh vsako leto na poseben način doživljamo Mohorjevo družbo kot skupnost idealov in idealizma. Nad 8.000 slovenskih src, razkropljenih po koroških farah in po širnem svetu pričakuje letošnje mohorjeve knjige. Brez njih si po naših slovenskih družinah težko predstavljamo božične in novoletne praznike.
Od leta 1947 naprej že pišem božična pisma našim številnim poverjenikom in dobrotnikom. Kot dolgoletnemu ravnatelju ste mi pomagali graditi Mohorjevo. V skupnem idealizmu in v štiridesetletnem sodelovanju smo ustvarili ta »velik kup dobrih volj«, ki ga predstavlja Družba sv. Mohorja v Celovcu. Danes Vam pišem kot predsednik nadzornega odbora Družbe.
»Društvo svetega Mohora« je bilo potrjeno od deželne vlade v Celovcu dne 28.8.1853 in s pismom z dne 18. maja 1860 je papež Pij IX. podelil društvu značaj cerkvenopravne bratovščine. Pokrovitelj Mohorjeve družbe je vsakokratni celovški škof. Škof dr. Valentin Wiery je v posebnem pastirskem pismu z dne 5. junija I860 sporočil ustanovitev svojim vernikom.
V sedanjih pravilih beremo v paragrafu 3: Namen Družbe je vzgoja slovenskega ljudstva v duhu katoliških kulturnih načel, skrb za njegovo umsko in srčno izobrazbo, da se na ta način ohrani katoliška vera med Slovenci. Posebno skuša Družba doseči svoj cilj z izdajanjem in razširjanjem verskih, leposlovnih in splošno koristnih knjig, brošur in periodičnih časopisov, z ustanavljanjem knjižnic, s prirejanjem zborovanj in predavanj, s podpiranjem katoliškega šolstva, katoliške vzgoje in prosvete.
Paragraf 4 Pravil našteva sredstva pod točko a) in b). Točka a) se glasi: Za dosego svojega cilja vzdržuje Družba naslednje gospodarske obrate: tiskarno in založbo, knjigarno ter trgovino s papirjem in devocionalijami in druga gospodarska podjetja. Dohodki teh obrtnih obratov morajo služiti izključno dosegu gornjih splošno koristnih družbenih ciljev. Pri morebitnem razpustu obrata morajo biti sredstva uporabljena le za navedeni splošno koristni namen Družbe. Točka b) se glasi: Poleg pod točko a) navedenih dohodkov zbira Družba svoja materialna sredstva:
1.	z letnimi prispevki za knjižni dar,
2.	z letno udnino,
3; s prostovoljnimi darovi udov in 4. z naklonitvami po poslednji volji.
Paragraf 14 govori o razpustu Družbe in se glasi:
a)	O razpustu Družbe in o uporabi njenega premoženja odloča izredni občni zbor, na katerem mora biti navzočih vsaj dve tretjini poverjenikov. Za sprejem sklepov je potrebna dvetretjinska večina. Če te ni ne v prvem in ne v drugefT V primeru, je treba sklicati nov občni zbor, kjer odloča potem navadna večine |
navzočih.
b)	Premoženje Družbe more krški ordinarij v smislu paragrafa 4, točka a) uporabiti le v splošno koristne namene slovenskega ljudstva v skladu s predlogi občnega zbora.
Vse to naj bo v vednost poverjenikom in dobrotnikom po širnem svetu, da vedo, za kaj so se trudili in za kaj se še trudijo. Cilj in namen Družbe sv. Mohorja je kar se da jasen in zagotovljen.
Rožmanov sklati
Najtežja in trenutno največja skrb Mohorjeve je finančno vzdrževanje dijaških domov. Vzgoja v domovih je urejena. Fantovski dom vodijo slovenski salezijanci, do kliški dom pa slovenske šolske sestre. Že 34 let vodi Družba sv. Mohorja oba domova, ki ju je v tem času sezidala v Celovcu. Iz njiju je izšlo lepo število mladih duhovnikov in katoliško usmerjene laične inteligence. Brez teh bi si danes verskega in katoliško usmerjenega prosvetnega delovanja in kulturnega življenja na Koroškem ne mog11 predstavljati.
Vzgoja je finančno gledano nujno pasivna. Tako sta oba naša dijaška domova let' no okrog dva milijona šilingov pasivna. (Trenutno je dolar vreden okrog 12 šilingov, op. ur.). En milijon šilingov nam letno prispeva krška škofija kot subvencijo za krščansko vzgojo. En milijon pa moramo nabrati od dobrotnikov na Koroškem in v slovenskem zdomstvu in zamejstvu. To imenujemo Rožmanov sklad. Brez tega dijaških domov ne bomo mogli finančno vzdrževati. Zato nujno prosim vse majhne in večje do^ brotnike po širnem svetu: ostanite nam zvesti. Velika škoda bi bila, če bi ne mogli vev katoliške mladine katoliških slovenskih družin na Koroškem vzgajati v zvestobi do Cerkve in do naroda. To se ne sme zgoditi in tega ne smemo dopustiti.
Želim vsem dobrotnikom in poverjenikom, ki se po širnem svetu trudite za našo skupno Mohorjevo družbo, blagoslovljene božične praznike in srečno ter zdravo nov° leto 1989 in vsem pošiljam lepe in domače koroške pozdrave!
Vaš hvaležni
prelat dr. Janez Hombd1**
____________________^
v Minaesoti je bila pra-znovana 16. oktobra. Takole.o njej poroča predsednica Anica Tusharjeva, katere teta ga. Mary Pirjevec, ki velikodušno že leta podpira misijone, je pravkar praznovala 80-letnico bogatega duhovnega življenja:
»V že kar hladnem nedeljskem popoldnevu smo se zbrali na Aurori pri vedno gostoljubnem župniku g. Janezu Šuštaršiču za slovensko sv. mašo, kjer smo se posebno spomnili vseh naših slovenskih misijonarjev in misijonark. V svojem nagovoru je g. Janez posebno poudaril njih velike žrtve in popolno predanost v delu za osvajanje duš za Kri-dusovo Kraljestvo. Poudaril >a je tudi našo dolžnost do ijih posebno z molitvijo in seveda tudi gmotno pomočjo, da bodo lahko svoje delo mogli nadaljevati.
Naša mala skupina — bilo nas je dvajset — se je zbrala potem v dvorani za prijeten ^pogovor. Z nami je bil tudi g. Jože Vovk, ki je sicer v pokoju, pa kljub lepim letom še vedno živahen in delaven. Misijoni so mu zelo pri srcu.
Ob kavi in pecivu, katerega naše dobre žene vedno prine-so-, se je razvil družabni razgovor. Predsednica je dodala še utrinke iz prijetno doživetega obiska v Kanadi. Izročila je vsem tople pozdrave duhovnega voditelja MjZA, gdč. Sonje, ki je bila z nami pred letom tukaj na obisku. Ker g. Wolbang v kratkem goduje in slavi 75-letnico rojstva, so vsi navzoči podpisali kartico z iskrenimi željami jubilantu, da bi ga ljubi Bog podpiral v trdnem zdravju in svojem skrbnem varstvu tudi v bodoče.
Spomnili smo se ludi naših bolnih rojakov
in posebno pri sv. maši prosili zanje. Naša že tako mala skupina se zelo vidno krha. Prosimo molitve za Rudija Schutte, Pavle Bajda, Cilko Zupančič.
V tem času je tudi dobojeval zemeljski tek Avgust Kovač, ki je bil s svojo ženo Ivanko vedno velik dobrotnik misijonov. Pokopali smo ga par dni pozneje. Naj v miru počiva!
Ob tej priliki smo zbrali za vse naše misijonarje $910. Vsem in vsakemu posebej gre iskrena zahvala. Bog naj vsakemu povrne tam, kjer najbolj potrebuje.
Naša mala skupina se ne more primerjati z ostalimi večjimi odseki MZA, vendar skušamo po svojih močeh nekaj doprinesti k celotnemu delovanju MZA, da v skupnosti malo več lahko napravimo. Prav v tem predbožičnem času pripravljamo sezname vseh misijonarjev, katerim bomo spet poslali lepe vsote na teren, da oni po naših skupnih naporih morejo pomagati najbolj potrebnim. V skupnosti je moč, tako v naših molitvah in gotovo tudi v naših skupnih naporih in žrtvah za graditev božjega Kraljestva.
Darovali so ob misijonski
nedelji naslednji dobrotniki: $150 Jože Vrečar, Ely, Minn.; po $100 ga. Jožeta Krulc in Fr. Jože Vovk; po $50 družini Dolenc in J. Tushar. $120 je darovala ga. Ivanka Kovač, v spomin na 19. oktobra umrlega moža Avgusta. Neimenovana je darovala $45.
- Po $30: ga. Marija Štrukelj, Emily, Minn.; Fr. John Šušteršič z Aurore in družina Pučko iz Gilberta.
Po $25 družina Matt Menart, Eveleth, Minn., in ga. Katherine Trampusch. Po $20 družine Paul, Bajda, ga. Johana Škrbec, ga. Cilka Zupančič in ga. Milka Škerjanec. Ga. Mary Paternost je darovala $15. Po $10 Ivan in Marija Vuk, družini Franc Samsa in Mike Sodnik, ga. Franjo Mi-helich, družina Joe Kobe in Neimenovana. Skupaj $910. Ga. Ivanka Kovač je še dodala za njih bogoslovca $250.
Predsednica Tusharjeva je priložila še vrsto novih mašnih intencij za naše misijonarje. In, kot običajno, lepe ameriške nove znamke za pomoč MZA.
Malo kasneje je sporočila, da se je iz Minnesote oglasil s pismom in tremi čeki za MZA naš poverjenik g. Franc Medved, ki je pomoč zbral med svojimi otroki, ki so ostali misijonski ideji zvesti.
Pionirskemu odseku MZA Gilbert na Iron Range-u želimo še veliko let rasti in božjega blagoslova. Krepko pišejo misijonsko zgodovino iz leta v leto.
MZA Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
je po predsednici ge. Mary Coffeltovi 31. oktobra izrekla zahvalo za rast bogo-slovske akcije. »Prav prisrčna hvala za vsa Vaša pisma, prav posebej še od škofa in novega
bogoslovca Corneliusa Man-yungara. Upam, da so ljudje tudi čitali v MSIP petkove Ameriške Domovine, da so bili 4 naši vzdrževani bogoslovci posvečeni v mašnike. To je bila vesela novica za vse, ki prihajajo na misijonske piknike. Kot je bilo letos na 18. misijonskem pikniku v Milwau-keeju in je gdč. Sonja poročala, da smo jih imeli 22. S sedanjimi 4 novimi jih imamo že 26. Bog daj, da bi bili dobri duhovniki v vinogradu Gospo-
dovem.
Tudi letos smo imeli pri nas »Prodaja peciva« pri Sv. Janezu na misionsko nedeljo. Hvala o. Lovrencu Gromu, da nam daje brezplačno dvorano na razpolago, da lahko pecivo prodajamo. Prav prisrčna hvala vsem, ki so prinesle toliko peciva, in vsem, ki so ga pokupili, saj smo seštele, da se je nabralo Jgpih 923 dolarjev. Posebna hvala Matildi Simčič, Rezi Kotar, Jožici Janežič in Tončki Cimermančič, ki so ga
tokrat prodajale.
Tako je letošnje leto kar ^ bro uspelo in Bogu vse. Poslala sem 26. ok^ blagajniku g. Maroltu v C land skupni ček za $9018- ^ Do te vsote smo prišl'
