LR Kitajska želi v trgovini z ZDA imeti izenačeno razmerje
Sen. Mike Mansfield je tekom svojega obiska na Kital skem imel obsežne razgovore s ču En-lajem, s p o d r e d s ednikom vlade Tengom in z zunanjim ministrom Chiaom.
HONG KONG. — Vodnik demokratske večine v Senatu ZDA Mike Mansfield je po razgovorih z uradnimi voditelji LR Kitajske v Pekingu, kamor je prišel s svojo ženo in 8 drugimi osebami, dejal, da je Kitajska “malo nestrpna” zaradi sedanjih odnosov z ZDA. Po njegovem so ti odnosi v položaju, kot ga je mogoče pričakovati, ker se razvijajo le postopno.
V razgovorih s kitajskimi voditelji, s Ču Enlajem, s podpredsednikom vlade Tengom Hsiao-ping in z zunanjim ministrom Chiaom Kuan-hua, ki so skupno trajali preko 15 ur, je sen. Mr. Mansfield Kitajce zagotovil, da so ZDA krenile na pot novih odnosov s Kitajsko v času Nixona in bodo na njej o-stale. V tej zvezi je posebej o-menil, kako je Mao zasledil neki Nixonov članek o potrebi po boljših odnosih med ZDA in LR Kitajsko, še predno je bil Nixon izvoljen za predsednika ZDA. Ta članek naj bi bil igral pomembno vlogo v Mao vi odločitvi za vzpostavo stikov z ZDA.
LR Kitajska hoče imeti v trgovanju z ZDA ravnovesje, u-voz naj jbi bil krit z izvozom. Dejansko je Kitajska v lanskem letu uvozila štirikrat več iz ZDA, kot je mogla v ZDA prodati. To je zavrlo kitajski nakup v ZDA. Lani je medsebojna trgovina dosegla bilijon dolarjev.
Sen.-M. Mansfielda so Kitajci sprejeli z izredno pozornostjo in mu nudili vse ugodnosti važnega uradnega predstavnika tuje države. O Ču En-laju je dejal, da zgleda dosti trden in da so očitno vajeti vlade še vedno v njegovih rokah. Dobil je vtis. da se manj boje in manj raču-1 najo na možnost sovjetskega a-! tomskega napada, kot so pred dvemi leti in pol, ko je bil preje, na Kitajskem.	:|
Na kako večje izboljšanje odnosov med ZDA in LR Kitajsko po vtisih, ki jih je dobil sen. M. Mansfield, ni računati, dokler imajo ZDA redne odnose s kitajsko nacionalno vlado na Tajvanu.
American Motors bo za en teden ustavila večino svojih tovarn
DETROIT, Mich. — Zaloge ’■’eprcdanih avtomobilov so tolikšne, da je družba sklenila za teden 6.-11. januarja ustaviti večino svojih tovam. S tem bo kakih 13,000 delavcev začasne cb zaslužek.
Prodaja avtomobilov je v prvi polovici decembra bila blizu 30f% manjša od običajne v tem času. Začasno in za nedoločen čas je zdaj v avtomobilski indu- ! striji brez posla nad 190,000 delavcev.
Rockefeller zaprisežen za podpredsednika ZD
Nelson Rockefeller
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Po nekaj ur razpravljanja je sinoči Predstavniški dom z 287:128 glasovom potrdil imenovanje Nelsona A. Rockefellerja za 41. podpredsednika ZDA. Kratek čas nato je bil slovesno zaprisežen v Senatu.
Predsednik, Ford je Rockefellerja imenoval za podpredsednika pred 4 meseci, pa je Kongres njegovo potrditev zavlačeval s podrobnimi preiskavami, ki so bile posebej natančne v pogledu njegovega bogastva in uporabe tega.
Pq zaprisegi sinoči je N. A. Rockefeller pohvalil Kongres za njegovo natančno delo in izjavil, da je dobil nov vpogled v njegovo poslovanje in v njegov pomen za neodvisnost in svobodo naše dežele.
Zahodna Nemčija tudi odklonila udeležbo v novem skladu ZN
ZDRUŽENI NARODI, N.Y.— Slično kot ZDA je tudi Zvezna republika Nemčija odklonila u-deležbo v upravnem odboru novega sklada za nujno pomoč gospodarsko nerazvitim članicam ZN in seveda tudi svoj prispevek.
Dan preje so to storile ZDA, ki ne vidijo potrebe po novih u-stanovah ZN, ko je že dovolj dosedanjih.
ZOi pripravljene dobavili jedrsko elektrarno Egiptu
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ko je bil bivši predsednik Nixon letošnjo pomlad na Srednjem vzhodu, je tekom obiska v Egiptu obljubil, da bodo ZDA dobavile Egiptu jedrsko elektrarno. Slično obljubo je napravil v Izraelu.
Dcbava teh elektrarn bi bila zvezana z določenimi pogoji, ki Izraelu niso všeč in se zato ne zanima več za ameriško jedrsko elekTrarno, oziroma njen nakup. To bi moglo ovirati tudi dobavo jedrske elektame Egiptu, pa so v Washingtonu izjavili, da Egipt lahko dobi tako e-lektrarno, neoziraje se na Izrael- ,
Izrael ima že dve taki elektrarni, eno od njih so mu dobavili Francozi že pred leti. V nji naj bi pridobil plutonij, ki je potreben za-, sestavo atomskih bomb. Predsednik Izraela Je namreč nedavno izjavil, da Izrael razpolaga s surovinami, industrijskimi napravami in tehničnim znanjem za gradnjo a-tomskih bomb. Nekateri v zvezi s to izjavo sodijo, da Izrael take bombe že ima, če ne pripravljene, pa vsaj v sestavnih delih.

Sovjetska zveza ni uspela s petletnim načrtom potrošniku
«k	___
Potrošnik je v Sovjetski zvezi stalno zapostavljen v korist težke industrije, zadnji petletni načrt je hotel to popraviti, pa ni u-spel.
MOSKVA. ZSSR. — Vrhovnemu sovjetu, ki se je zbral v začetku tedna na svoje zasedanje, je podpredsednik vlade in vodnik gospodarskega načrta Nikolaj K. Baibakov razkril, da gospodarski načrt v pogledu obljub potrošnikom ni uspel. “Cilji, ki jih je v tem pogledu postavil 24. partijski kongres, niso bili dosegljivi,” je dejal Baibakov. Vzrok temu je bil v tem, d posamezni sektorji gospodarstva niso izpolnili postavljenih nalog, manjkalo pa je tudi potrebnih surovin.
! Vodnik gospodarskega načrta je razkril tudi, da je bila letoš-1 nja letina žita sicer dobra, druga največja, kar jih ZSSR pozna, pa vendar 10 milijonov ton pod predvidenim načrtom. Žetev je dala 195.5 milijonov ton žita, med tem. ko so pridelek določili na 10 milijonov ton višje, ko so lani naželi skupno 222.5 milijonov ton, največ v vsem razdobju obstoja ZSSR.
V	svojem poročilu je Baibakov opozarjal na pomanjkljivo vodstvo, neučinkovitost, zaostajanje produkcije in nepopolne uprabe zmogljivosti v industriji. Načrt za prihodnje leto vključuje kakovost in učinkovIiosL kot je to zahteval partijski vodnik Leonid Brežnjev.
V	letošnjem letu je sovjetsko gospodarstvo po uradnih podatkih rastlo na ravni 5%, ko je načrt predvideval 6.5%. Na isto raven je naravnan tudi načrt za prihodnje leto. Narodni dohodek je tekom zadnjih 4 let poraste! za 23.6%, kar je nekaj pod načrtom.
Finančni minister Vasilij Garbuzov je objavil, da proračun za prihodnje leto predvideva 208.3 bilijone rubljev izdatkov, 200 milijonov manj, kot so predvideni dohodki.
Gospodarski načrt za prihodnje leto posveča posebno pozornost olju, petrokemični industriji in industriji gradnje strojev.
KONGRES BO ODOBRIL TRGOVINSKI PREDLOG
Četudi je Sovjetska zveza uradno zanikala, da bi obljubila olajšanje izseljevanja v zameno za trgovinske ugodnosti ZDA, bo Kongres zakonski predlog odobril. Sovjetsko izjavo so označili za opravičevanje pred domačo javnostjo in pred svetom, v Kongresu so poudarili, da se bodo ozirali na dejanja, ne na besede.

Gradnja hiš se znova zmanjšala v novembru
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Gradnja domov je v zadnjem letu v stalnem opadanju. V novembru je dosegla letno povprečje 990,000, kar je za 10.5% manj kot v oktobru in najnižje v zadnjih 8 lejih.
V novembru je bilo izdanih 720,000 dovoljenj za nova stanovanja, kar je 8.6% manj kot v oktobru in 48% manj kot pred enim letom.
Celotna gradbena industrija je v hudem zastoju in stiski, na deset tisoče obrtnikov in strokovnih delavcev vseh vrst je brez redne zaposlitve. Nove hiše so postale predrage za povprečnega kupca, ki ima še hude težave pri iskanju posojila. Ker so obresti na posojila za nakup hiš sorazmerno še vedno visoke, se marsikdo, ki ima trdno voljo kupiti svoj lasten dom, premisli.

Čas “po Titu”
Za mesec dni po Kissingerjevem obisku v Beograd se je napovedal na obisk v Beograd tudi šef sovjetske partije Brežnjev. Opazovalci ugotavljajo, da prihaja v Beograd v trenutku, ko odnosi med ZSSR in komunistično Jugoslavijo niso najboljši. Ob nedavnem odkritju vzporedne komunistične partije v Jugoslaviji v uradnih jugoslovanskih poročilih niso štedili z navedbami vmešavanja v jugoslovanske notranje zadeve iz Moskve.
Kljub temu je kazno, da Brežnjev ne prihaja v Beograd, da bi te odnose poslabšal, pač pa ravno nasprotno: hoče popraviti, kar je moskovska partija pokvarila s svojo neokretnostjo ob botrovanju vzporedni partiji v Jugoslaviji.
V	zadnjih mesecih je Moskva strahovala Titovo Jugoslavijo in dramatizirala njeno notranjo krizo. Komplot proti Titu, ki so ga bili odkrili v Črni gori je bil ena zadnjih potez sovjetske strategije. Pred tem je sovjetska vojska skupaj z vojskami članic Varšavskega pakta imela vojaške manevre vzdolž madžarsko-jugoslovanske meje. Še pred tem je kakor slučajno bil odkrit sovjetski načrt Po-larka o vdoru sovjetske vojske v Jugoslavijo skozi Avstrijo.
Zahodni strokovnjaki so ob vojaških manevrih varšavskih sil ugotavljali, da Moskvi ni šlo toliko za napadalne vaje, temveč za pospeševanje notranjih jugoslovanskih polemik o neposredni bodočnosti “po Titu”. Moskvi gre predvsem za podpiranje frakcionaštva v Jugoslaviji, da bi dobila povod “po Titu” za svoj vdor v državo, da “bi vzpostavila red”. Tudi če država razpade, bi obstoječe republike itak vključila v svoj komunistični blok, bodisi posamič ali vse skupaj kot Jugoslavijo. Moskvi gre predvsem za prostor ob Jadranu.
Razvoj v komunistični Jugoslaviji je po mnenju zahodnih strokovnjakov negotov, tako za Moskvo kakor za Zahod. Ugotavljajo, da je Tito izgubil še tisti stik s prebivalstvom, kolikor ga je še imel, in da on ter njegova okolica ne ocenjujeta pravilno sil, ki nastajajo v državi. Njegovo odločitev poveriti partijo in državo za čas “po Titu” partijskim reakcionarjem, ki so vsi že priletni in brez bodočnosti, kakor npr. Srbu Stamboliču, Slovencu Kardelju in Hrvatu Bakariču, smatrajo za najbolj neposrečeno, kar jih je bil storil v svojem življenju.
Prav tako mu doma očitajo, da je kriv nad 25U letne inflacije. Lansko leto so zabeležili 6% zmanjšanje dejanskega dohodka, 40% zvišanje uvoza in deficit v trgovinski bilanci, ki se je zvišal od 990 milijonov na 1,654 milijonov dolarjev. Jugoslavija danes uvaža že dvakrat več kakor izvaža, računajoč na dohodek izseljenskih delavcev, ki so npr. lansko leto poslali :z tujine domov 1,500 milijonov dolarjev, se pravi 43% več kakor predlanskim ter na turistični dohodek, ki je lansko leto znašal 630 milijonov dolarjev, 30% več kakor leta 1972. Letošnje leto je bilo v obeh ozirih manj cvetoče, prihodnje leto 1975 pa bo za Jugoslavijo porazno, zlasti še, če bo svetovna gospodarska kriza prisilila zahodnoevropske države, da bodo poslale domov pol-drug milijon jugoslovanskih zdomskih delavcev.
V	takih razmerah in okoliščinah je Titova partija objavila nedavno odkritje ustanovitve vzporedne partije v državi. Tako doma kakor v inozemstvu so pričakovali naj-sirožje kazni za zarotnike, pa so bile razmeroma nizke, ker je Moskva sporočila Beogradu, da “noče visokih kazni”.
Brežnjev prihaja v Beograd mesec dni po Kissingerju. Ugotavljajo, da imata oba obiska isto ozadje: tako Moskva kakor Washington razmišljata in kujeta načrte za čas “po i itu .
Tako presoja položaj v Jugoslaviji in jugovzhodni Evropi “Svobodna Slovenija” v številki od 12. decembra 1974. List, glavno glasilo slovenske politične emigracije, pazljivo zasleduje razvoj v Sloveniji in Jugoslaviji ter o njem sproti obvešča slovenske naseljence v Argentini, pa tudi drugod po svetu.
Slovenija in Jugoslavija sta res- v precej negotovem položaju, notranjem in mednarodnem, ko je očitno, da se “Titova doba” naglo izteka. Zahod po vsem sodeč nima namena oteževati Jugoslaviji prebroditev prihajajočih težav, on je v načelu za ohranitev obstoječih razmer v Jugoslaviji in v jugovzhodni Evropi. Verjetno tudi Sovjetska zveza nima v sedanjem trenutku namere mešati štren, četudi bi rada preko Jugoslavije segla do Jadranskega in s tem do Sredozemskega morja. Dokler se prizadeva za ohranitev in celo za izboljšanje dobrih odnosov z ZDA, ne bo delala sitnosti na Balkanu, pa naj je ta tudi neposredni sosed Srednjega vzhoda, kjer je vedno možnost izbruha večjega vojnega spopada.
Brežnjev je v svojih zadnjih razgovorih z voditelji Zahoda poudarjal važnost naglega zaključka evropske varnostne konference, ki bi naj “uzakonila” sedanje meje in sedanji politični položaj v Evropi. On bi imel rad slovesen
zaključek te konference letošnje poletje ob navzočnosti voditeljev vseh udeleženih držav na slavnostnem zborovanju v Helsinkih na Finskem. Taka slovesna in uradna potrditev obstoječega stanja, združena z obveznosTjo njegovega ohranjanja, bo brez dvoma imela svoj učinek tudi na pomiritev položaja na Balkanu.

nastopom mraka, ko se oglasi pri farni cerkvi veliki zvon, mora biti vsa družina pripravljena, da z očetom in materjo na čelu med molitvijo sv. rožnega venca pokrope z žegnano vodo in pokade z blagoslovljenim ognjem vse prostore v hiši in o-krog nje. Miza v hiši mora biti ta večer pogrnjena z domačim prtenim prtom; na njej ima svoj prostor poprtnjak. Po opravljenem kajenju in škropljenju se mu pridruži veliki družinski rožni venec z debelimi jagodami, kupljen čisto gotovo na romanju na Višarjah, ter s kadilom in žegnano vodo cib kraju.

Po vaji je bil kratek premor. To priložnost je porabil duhovni vodja, da je spregovoril nekaj bodrilnih besed. V glavnem je izrazil naslednje misli. Povedal je, da je pred leti bral knjigo, ki ji je naslov “IJmreti nočejo”. Tiče se koroških Slovencev. Naslovna slika na tej knjigi predstavlja leva, ki ga je zadela puščica. Daši ranjen, se še vedno bori. To je slika koroških Slovencev, pa tudi nas. Včasih se zaradi tega, ker ne obvladamo dobro angleškega jezika, nekako porivamo v ozadje. Sram nas je, da smo Slovenci. To je stvar, ki ni potrebna; ne sramujmo se, da smo Slovenci! Od doma smo prinesli domačnost, gostoljubnost in pridne roke. S tem bogatimo ameriško kulturo, za kar nas res ni treba biti sram. Če bi se sramovali svojega rojstva, bi o nas veljala beseda pesnikova:	Kdor zaničuje se

iSLWAUŠKI ZAPISKI
in bodite ponosni.
Med govorom so se pripravili angelci in Miklavž za nastop. Kakor vsako leto, tako je tudi letos igral Miklavža znani roj ak Frank Rozina. Ko se je dvignil zastor, je Miklavž že sedel na prestolu, obdan z nebeškimi angelci. Takoj je eden izmed angelov pozdravil navzoče v angleškem jeziku, drugi pa v slovenskem. Nato je spregovoril sv. Miklavž; Mogočno kakor vedno je zadonela njegova beseda. Ker je sv. Miklavž dobrotnik otrok, se je obrnil do angelov, da bi začel dajati darove. Predno se je to zgodilo, so parkeljni pod vodstvom mefista ali glavnega poveljnika rogatcev pridrveli na plan. Joj, to je bil vrišč in ropotanje. Letos je mefista igral z vso veščnostjo, tako kakor samo en zna, Vladislav Kralj. Daši je kralj rogatcev, vendar igra svojo vlogo tako fino, da bi vsakega zapeljal, če ne bi vedeli, kdo da je.
MIKLAVŽE VANJE. — Zapel je telefon. Poklical me je predsednik slovenskega kulturnega društva Triglav. Prosil me je, če bi bil tako prijazen, da bi se udeležil društvenega miklavže-vanja in bi tam tudi spregovoril par besedi. Nisem mogel odkloniti. Slovenske zadeve je vedno treba podpreti. Ne bi bilo prav, če ne bi sprejel.
Dva dni pozneje sem poslušal slovensko radijsk uro. Po dolgem času sem zopet imel priložnost, da jo slišim. Med drugimi stvarmi, ki jih je nanizal Vladislav Kralj, ki vodi slovensko radijsko uro v Milwaukee ju, je posvetil daljšo misel tudi mladini. Dal ji je zelo lepo oceno. Ocena je bila v zvezi z miklav-ževanjem, ki ga pripravlja društvo Triglav. Ker je ocena zvenela tako pohvalno, sem sam pri sebi dejal, sedaj moram pa res si ogledati miklavževanje.
Na praznik Marijinega brezmadežnega spočetja, 8. decembra, je bilo to miklavževanje v dvorani sv. Janeza na Cold Spring Rd. Začetek je bil ob treh popoldne. Nabralo se je prav lepo število ljudi. Vse je bilo v pričakovanju. Ni nam bilo treba predolgo čakati. Že to je bil dober znak.
Za uvod je spregovoril nekaj besed predsednik društva Franjo Mejač. Poudaril je pomen ohranjevanja lepih navad, ki so
si je nadela nalogo nadaljevati te lepe navade, od katerih ena je tudi miklavževanje. Sicer dobiva podobo božičnic, vendar je to dober znak, da se je mladina sploh odločila tradicijo, ki je nam vsem tako ljuba, ohraniti.
Začel se je spored. Vsako točko programa je napovedala Mary Cotfelt. Vsako točko programa je napovedala v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku. Kar me je začudilo, je bila lepa slovenščina in čista izgovarjava, kar je za tukaj rojene nekaj nenavadnega. Moram ji čestitati. Kot u-vod je ena izmed Modicevih deklet imela kratke skioptične slike o božičnih dogodkih. Nato je skupina deklet zapela nekaj božičnih pesmi. Poleg angleških pesmi so zapele tudi nekaj slovenskih božičnih pesmi. Zapele so lepo in občutno. Zapele so ob spremljavi kitar. Temu je sledila deklamacija fanta in dekleta. Nato je dekle s flavto zaigralo pesem. Temu je sledila simbolična vaja deklet. Simbolične vaje so izvajale ob pesmi “Ave Maria”, ki jo poje Perry Como. Dekleta so vajo izvajala po zamisli in načrtih ge. Dari Strmšek. Vaja je bila posvečena pokojnemu ljubljanskemu nadškofu dr. Gregoriju Rožmanu, katerega 15-letnico smrti obhajamo letos. Vaja je bila zares nekaj prisrčnega in je navdušila prav vse. Veliko jih je reklo,
Prvi je bil poklican na oder, da prejme dar od Miklavža duhovni vodja p. Klavdij. Kako je završalo med rogatci. Moram omeniti, da ima p. Klavdij teža-/o s hojo. Kar je pri tem zanimivo, je to, da mu je sam mefi-sto pomagal po stopnicah do Miklavža. Pa pravijo, da je hudobec hudoben. Nazaj grede od Miklavža pa mu je angel božji pomagal, da je lahko šel po stopnicah doli.
Lahko rečem, da je to miklavževanje bilo velik uspeh. V vsakem oziru so ljudje bili zadovoljni. še dolgo potem, ko se je Miklavž poslovil, so še vedno ljudje postajali v gručah in se prijateljsko pogovarjali med seboj.
Tu naj še omenim, da se velikokrat pri takih prireditvah pozabi na ljudi za kulisami. Osvetljava in premikanje kulis vzamemo navadno za samoumevno, vendar ni tako. Za to miklavževanje naj omenim, da je Ornik Jože mlajši vodil vso scenerijo. Za kar mu gre vsa čast!
Mladina je s tem miklavževa-njem pokazala, da je zmožna in vsega zaupanja vredna. Mi ji moramo čestitati in ji dati pobudo, da naj le tako nadaljuje.
ŠESTA OBLETNICA. — V petek, 13. decembra, je minilo šest let, odkar se je za vedno poslovil od nas in svojih milih in dragih Marijan Zovic. Bil je soustanovitelj slovenske radijske ure in velik kulturni delavec Neumorno se je trudil, da bi slo-

ZA BOŽIČ POTICE!
Slovenske potice so znane tudi izven meja naše rojstne domovine, lahko bi rekli, skoro po vsem svetu, kjer žive slovenski ljudje.
Ime potica je nastalo iz prvotne besede “povitica”. V daljni preteklosti so bile potice na zahodu Slovenije to, kar so bile na vzhodu pogače.
Po mnenju narodopiscev so potice boljša in novejša oblika
je imela različno starost. Po vrsti nadeva so presojali starost nastanka potice. Orehi, lešniki, med, meta, skuta, smetana, ocvirki, slanina, suho sadje, itd. so živila, ki so bila našim prednikom znana že davno. Med, čokolado, kakao in druge delikatese je prinesla šele trgovinska izmenjava.
Prvotne potice niso bile sladkane, ker takrat sladkorja še niso poznali. Za sladkanje so uporabljali med.
Testo za potice je bilo in je še vedno kvašeno iz pšenične moke. Značilno za vse slovenske potice je to, da razvaljano testo namažemo z nadevom, po katerem dobi potica tudi ime: orehova, lešnikova, mandeljnova, rozinova, pehtranova, makova, Ocvirkova . .. Testo pa ne sme biti prebogato, ker sicer potica težko vzhaja. Vzhajanje lahko ovira tudi nadev v predebelih plasteh.
Vsaka od nas, pridnih in sposobnih slovenskih kuharic, ima svoj poseben recept za pripravo potice. Ste že opazile, drage bralke, da skoro dve potici ne
kolača. V širšem smislu jih štejemo med podobnjake in sicer zato, ker jih pečemo v modlih, ki poticam določajo obliko. Stare oblike modlov so bile izraz ljudske ustyarjalnosti in fantazije in so se mnoge ohranile še do danes, tako da imajo potice tudi lepo zunanjo obliko. Modli za potice so okrogli, v sredi imajo tulce, tako da ima potica obliko obroča ali kolača. To je prava slovenska potica.
Tudi izdelava potic po izvoru
tekneta enako, pa četudi sta izdelani po istem receptu? Vsaka gospodinja položi v potico nekaj osebnega, nekaj svojstvenega, da ji svoj navdih.
Ko se pripravljamo‘na veselo praznovanje božiča, na praznovanje veselja in ljubezni med nami vsemi, ne pozabimo pripraviti za naš dom, za naše drage, dobrih slovenskih potic. V slovenske domove za večje praznike - slovenske potice!

Temeljni kamen prve jedrske elektrarne položen
V navzočnosti vrhovnih zastopnikov SR Slovenije in SR Hrvaške je predsednik SFRJ Josip Broz Tito, ki je prišel v Krško iz Kumrovca skupaj s svojo ženo Jovanko in s hrvaškimi vodniki, vzidal 1. decembra letos temeljni kamen prve jedrske elektrarne v Jugoslaviji. Gradita jo skupaj Slovenija in Hrvaška ter bo dajala, ko bo leta 1979 dograjena, letno 4.4 milijačde kilovatnih ur električne energije, to je dve tretjini energije, ki jo dajejo sedaj vse slovenske elektrarne skup a j. Direktor nove elektrarne je inž. Janez Dular. Njena moč bo 632 megavatov in bo uporabljala za gorivo obogateni uran, ki ga bodo dobivali iz uranskega rudnika na Žirovskem vrhu in ga plemenitili v ZDA.
Vsi stroški jedrske elektrarne so predvideni na 7 milijard dinarjev, od tega bo odpadlo na opremo 4 milijarde. Za postavitev elektrarne je odgovorna a-meriška družba Westinghouse.
Zasnove urbanizacije
Načrtovalci bodoče Slovenije so pripravili načrt, po katerem naj bi Slovenija dobila namesto enega velikega mestnega središča 13 krajevnih mestnih središč, ki bi ljudem zagotavljala enake možnosti glede šolanja, zaposlitve, stanovanja in kulture. Pogoj za to so prometne povezave, katere ima na skrbi od-
bor za promet in zveze pri vladi v Ljubljani.
Po predloženi zamisli bi naj že leta 2000 91% vsega prebivalstva Slovenije ne imelo od svojega mestnega središča dlje kot pol ure z javnim prevoznim sredstvom.
Načrtov nikdar ne manjka, žal največkrat ni sredstev za njih izvedbo. Včasih se zgodi, da je to kar prav, kajti naknadno pridejo do zaključka, da prvotni načrti niso bili ne pravilni ne koristni...
Delgo je vzdržala
Pred 125 leti je v Ljubljano pripeljal prvi vlak na sedanjo ljubljansko postajo. To je bila prva železnica na sedanjem o-zemlju Jugoslavije in med prvimi v Evropi. Železniška postaja je takrat veljala za naj večjo in najlepšo zgradbo v Ljubljani. V vseh 125 letih jo niso bistveno spremenili.
Jez na Sctli
Nedavno so začeli z deli za zajezitev Sotle pri Vonarjih blizu Podčetrtka. Jez bo visok 15 m. za katerim se bo na površini 20 kv. km nabiralo 8.7 milijona kub. metrov vode. Jezero bo dolgo 6 km, široko pa od 600 do 800 m. Preselili bodo 40 kmetij. S tem bedo preprečili poplavljanje Sotle, omogočena bo velika namakalna mreža in, kar je za ta predel najbolj važno, bodo iz njega zajemali ogromne količine pitne vode.

Za Božič posebno želim, da bi ta Tvoja pastoralna akcija in ta pastoralni novi način prinesel tolikim dušam božične milosti rojstva novega duhovnega življenja, veselja v življenju sv. Cerkve vse leto 1975.
Posebna hvala Ti tudi za vse, kar storiš za mene sedemdesetletnika, ki še vedno miga z mezincem, kot si mi tolikokrat priporočal. Za Božič je kar velik program za mene, moje sobrate in aspirante, da organiziramo praznovanje Božiča za 1800-2000 oratorij ancev, kakih 200 v porcij ševalnici, tam v ženski kaznilnici jih je okoli 1500, pa še doma. Imamo za vse pogane in kristjane. Vodilni bonec Luang se je iz bližnje pagode že povabil za polnočnico. Mi ponavlja, ia sva dva “hau pun-jeva”, dobra prijatelja . . .” (Južni Vietnam, v Thu Ducu, 27. nov.)
“Vsak prispevek je dobrodošel,
naša cerkev v Koelenhofu je končana. Prav lepa hvala vsem našim dobrotnikom, ki so take lepo vsoto poslali po MZA, Vsem prav srčna hvala! Tudi za rajne člane MZA vedno molimo in darujemo zanje naše delo. žrtve in molitve. Vsak prispevek je tako dobrodošel. Vse je za Boga in duše in sama sem tu zelo zaposlena. A brez gmotne pomoči misijonsko delo ne more napredovati. Pisanje se mi vedno zavleče, toda molim pa lahko tudi med delom in kadar imam kak prost trenutek, pa naj bo kjerkoli že.
Bog mi je vedno blizu in z Njim se pogovarjava o Vas vseh, ki ste daleč, vendar v duhu tako blizu in upam, da bo ljubi Bog dal vsakemu to, kar je zanj najboljše. V sv. Daritvi se vseh posebej spominjam, saj vsi delamo za blagor bližnjega. AMERIŠKO DOMOVINO pridno čitam. To nas res med seboj poveže. Lepa hvala, da ste mi jo naročili in družini Viktorja in Nežke Tominec, da mi jo plačujeta. Voščim Vam vse milosti-polne božične praznike in vsem našim prijateljem v MZA srečno novo leto. Sr. Terezija Alojzija Steh, Ceres, v Južni Afriki,
2. decembra 1974.”
‘Vsem lepe misijonske pozdrave!
Četudi daleč, sem z vsemi člani MZA nevidno povezana preko vseh daljav in se z Vami vsemi nahajam na pateni Velikega Duhovnika, ko vsak dan znova, vsak hip ponavlja svojo Kalva-r-ijsko daritev. Po Jezusu, ki živi v Mariji, vsem pošiljam iskrene pozdrave,” omenja 29. nov. sodelavka iz domovine. Isti dan,

dih kadulj. Zapeketali so konji; pred kopiti se jim umikajo drobni martinčki, iz grmov puhajo grmske divjačine; konji hrzajo, sokoli piskajo.
Mesto Solun je ostalo za hrbtom; vse je zavito v morsko meglico, enobarvno, ko da je izrezano iz ene same pečine; iz dalje je podobno igrački, kakršno je nekoč Mile oblikoval otrokom iz vlažnega peska.
Tudi brda so na vzhodni strani zastrta s tanko tenčico morske pene; zato so pa tem jasnejše planine na zapadu in jugu, a nad vsemi visoki Olimp s srebrno čelado večnega snega.
Dehti zemlja, dehti rožmarin, kadulj a, suhocvetnica; dehti morje, pokojno, sinje Egejsko morje, na katerem režejo ladjice po dve brazdi; eno temnomodro, drugo srebrno.
Dekliški glas zapoje:
Sonce, širina, vonjivost, svežina! Tudi jaz bi letela pod visoko nebo.
Vzpenjala bi se v neznane sinjine
ko ptica sokolica.
Deklici je fant dovrgel: lOh, kolika sreča, ko bi se ptica vrniti hotela z nebeških sinjin niže in niže pa se usedla na mojo roko.
A deklica je vrnila fantu: Plaha je ptica, ta sokolica, moraš jo vabiti, čuvati, paziti; iz strahu bi te mogla udariti s perotjo po licu.
Mladina je prasnila v glasen smeh. Mladec se zjezi, izpod-bode konja, ki ga odnese daleč pred družbo, a družica zapoje
'družici:
Sivi sokol je hrabro letel, hrabro letel v boj s čapljo. Ostra mu čaplja s preostrim kljunom srce prebodla.
“To ni lep dovtip!” se razburi Konstantin, a vsi ko na en mah zakrakajo nanj:
“Niti za lov nisi niti za dovtip! Vsi nosimo sive sokole, ti sam malega kragulja!”
“Meni je naj dražji mali kragulj,” vrne Konstantin in poboža pisanega ptiča, ki se oglasi, ko da razume.
“Kragulj lovi vrane in krokarje,” se norčuje nekdo iz družbe.
“Škodljive so vrane in krokarji,” razloži Konstantin.
“Nedopovedne koristi bo imelo cesarstvo od tebe in tvojega kragulja!”
Konstantin umolkne.
Jezdeci zadržijo korak, zakaj dospeli so do prvih močvar, obraslih z gostim, ostrim ločjem.
Krotilci psov, hitri skoraj ko lahki konji, so pritekli, razvezali nestrpne pse in jih spustili, naj iščejo divačino. Pesjad ne zavoha dolgo ničesar. Na neki mrhovini se je zbralo nekaj krokarjev, pa so jih psi preplašili in dvignili, toda nihče ne spusti za njimi sokola, da ne bo slab začetek.
Takrat zavoha eden izmed psov mlado čapljico in jo dvigne. Čaplja zakroži v višino, čas je, da začne lov najodličnejša deklica.
Naj starejša hčerka gospoda
drungariosa Leva razveže jer-jpico; in kakor hitro se je ptič
menje z nog svojemu sokolu, sname mu z glave okrašeno ka-
privadil dnevni luči in zagledal čapljo, ga deklica spusti za njo.

The only known original church building still in use today in our immediate area is
witness its 102nd Christmas celebration!
It was originally constructed in 1973 as the Church of the Good Shepherd a memorial to Rev. Alexander Varian, Episcopalian minister. (The Rev. Varian was formerly pastor of Grace Church, downtown, on E. Ninth and Huron, and had retired to the “country” in our St Clair area, acquiring 20 acres of land around Addison Rd and St. Clair around 1850.)
According to an old account, “Rev. Varian’s widow and children gave the large lot which the building stands, to be devoted to church purposes forever.”
The church is a beautiful edifice of wood, upon a foundation of stone, Gothic in style, with a seating capacity of about 300. The sanctuary window contains
It was at this point in time that some of the more prominent citizens of our Slovenian community purchased the church and began searching for 'a congregation.
Fortunately, a flock was soon located and they assumed proprietorship of the ancient but still useful building.
At the present time, the church is still a most attractive and useful building, and is the religious home of the Tristate Freewill Baptist Church.
Today, 102 years later, the church’s wooden steeple majestically points upward into the sky, its foundation of stone still firm, and its frame walls proud-

Accomplishment of a dream
SLOVENE HOME FOR THE AGED
Much has been written about the accomplishment of a dream, the building of a Rest Home for our aging friends and relatives of Slovenian descent, people who are loved, respected and deserving of a decent home and atmosphere in which to spend their remaining years.
Those who have their own family to turn to in time of need are indeed fortunate. There will always be, however, those who do not have their own to turn to for reasons over which they no longer have control. For these and those whose illness cannot be taken care of at home, our Slovene Home for the Aged is a haven.
That long-ago dream has be-
The Joint Commission’s Accreditation Council for Long Term Care Facilities, formed in 1971, is composed of representatives of four national organizations, The American Association of Homes for the Aging, The American Hospital Association, The American Nursing Home Assoc, and the American Medical Association. This council has set standards that it believes essential in the operation of a Home such as ours. The Joint Council compares the facilities activities with those standards and gives accreditation to those facilities that meet their high level of operation. This relates to the environment in which services and care are given, certain basic

needs.
Much credit is due the original planners, the organizations, lodges, professional and business men and individuals who got the project off the planning boards and into reality.
Recently the Home received a certification of which all those people can be very proud... an accrediation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and Accreditation Council for Long Term Care Facilities. The Slovene Home for the Aged is one of only 35 nursing facilities out of 1,111 in Ohio who have been given this recognition.
Just what does “Accreditation” mean? The purpose of this article is to give the public the explanation as clearly as possible.
Accreditation of a long term care facility by the Joint Commission is evident that the facility continually strives to provide the best possible care and service to its patients and/or residents.
neral hospitals and an accurate and complete record system for every patient to insure continuity of care.
The members of our professional staff regularly evaluate their work against the specific standards they have set up for themselves thereby assuring patients professional performance at a high level. The staff has responded to its obligation of upgrading jhe quality care rendered by themselves and observe the rights and dignity of every person they serve.
Nearly every health and health-related professional is in some way responsible for the kind of care a person will receive in an accredited long term care facility. That goes for nurses, therapists, dietitians, technicians, doctors, medical and healthrecord personnel, the administrative staff and the governing body. Other people who are not health professionals but keep the facility clean and safe and running smoothly, help maintain an environment that
ledge.
We hope we have thrown a little light on what the Joint Commissions on Accreditation of Hospitals means to you and your family. In future articles we will try to give an accurate account of the various phases of the administration of the Slovene Home for Aged and the people who “make the house a Home”.
For the Board of Trustees of the Slovene Home for the Aged,
Cecelia M. Wolf, Publicity Chmn.
* * *
Just a few words here as to how to go about getting a person admitted to the Slovene Home for the Aged. A call to Mrs. Mary Cerer, Administrator, is the first step to take, either by phone (Area Code 216—486-0268) or in person. Certain procedures are followed according to the by-laws of the Corporation. The application is turned over to a screening committee who make their recommendation and present the application to the Board of Trustees for their approval. The patient’s name is then put on the waiting list and is admitted as soon as possible.
This is a voluntary program, will offer the best conditions for not one forced upon us by any the best possible care. In an ac-agency of the government.

Dear Mr. Frank Zupančič: Thank you for sending me the past issues of American Home, I enjoyed reading them very much. I was unaware of this outstanding weekly publication. Do kindly accept my subscription for this weekly paper.
Best wishes for a nice Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year!'

Lo and Behold, we have a 20th Century Renaissance in the making. Who says miracles do not exist. This over due miracle I has become reality with an idea supplied to one of our local concerned civic leaders, where this spark kindled in Euclid, Ohio, was carried over to a spectacular flame to an awaiting Parma tinder.
Two greatly respected civic leaders of Cuyahoga County, namely Norm Aiken of Taxpayer’s Alliance of Euclid, and Mrs. Mary A. Tyulman of Ohio Homeowners and Tarpayers; ' Assn. Inc. of Parma have joined ! forces to attempt reestablishing Government of, by, and for the people of Ohio.
To the best of my belief, no person has more courage, consideration, or dedication for their fellowman, than these two people.
Under the banner of “Taxpayers Crusade”, a Motor Ca-i valcade is scheduled to travel to Columbus in February of 1975.
I plead, and they invite all concerned citizens to help organize a Motor Calvacade of over 5000 concerned people to converge on the Statehouse on that
day. Originally intending to cover only five counties the spark kindled in Euclid can now be-' come a holocaust covering the entire state.
This well organized group intends to recover what originally belonged to the Boards of Education in the entire State of Ohio.
The tax monies for their taxing district’s educational system went afoul. This group intends to impress the Legislators that they better change many
of the unjust bills they’ve passed, and ignore the pressuring lobbyists they pal with. The taxpayers of Ohio will no longer tolerate the SHENANIGANS wine and dining our so-called REPRESENTATIVES do. They will from now on have to comply with the people’s wishes as the taxpayers are fed up to the I gills.
Do yourself a favor, join this crusade. There is no obligation on your part. Write or call, telT them you are with them all the way. Dial 261-6141, Mr. Aiken.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS — BOŽIČNI POZDRAV Dear Parishioners,
Al Christmas time each year, God proclaims His great love for us in the birth of His Divine Son, Our Redeemer. May we in turn renew our love for God by resolving to live a more Christian life, bearing witness to Him in all we think and say and do. In this way peace will reign in our hearts and being shared with others, contribute toward peace, charity and justice in the world. Let us unite at God’s altar this Christmas to offer Him our homage and to be nourished by Him on that day and in the New Year.
Merry Christmas to all!

☆ it
MmiWng is the
secret of success
The Elgin, Nebraska, Review tells the story of a merchant whose store never had much business compared to its competitors up and down the street. It seems the owner of the store thought that if he ran a good store the world would beat a path to his door.
He felt advertising was unnecessary.
Finally, the merchant announced he was going out of business. He hired a professional sales team to liquidate his stock as quickly as possible, and the first thing they did was to advertise.
The next day the store was jammed with customers, and the owner couldn’t understand what attracted so many people, more than there had ever been before.
No doubt some of the other stores in town, who made a success of their businesses, not only advertised but used other inducements such as trading stamps to attract customers.
Advertising and promotion have always been what made the mare go in America’s competitive enterprise system.
