Kaotične razmere v prevažanju beguncev s Kube v Florido
KEY WEST, Fla. — V zadnjem tednu je prispelo v zvezno državo Florido s Kube potom neuradnega “morskega mostu” okrog 6000 Kubancev. Dnevno pride okoli 1000 teh ljudi in več tisoč jih še čaka na Kubi.
Najnovejša poročila, ki prihajajo s kubanskega pristanišča Mariel blizu Havane, govorijo o 1700 čolnih vseh vrst, ki so pripluli iz ZDA, da poberejo tiste Kubance, ki žele zapustiti domovino.
Razmere v Marielu so kaotične. Amerikanci na čolnih se ne smejo izkrcati na kubanska tla. Kubanska obalna straža dopušča prodajo hrane in druge potrebščine za izredno visoke cene. Galon ga-zolina za čolne stane kar $25 galon pitne vode pa $10. Za navadno šunkarico morajo odšteti $7.
Carterjeva vlada je navezala stike s kubansko vlado z namenom, da bi dosegli sporazum o novem “zračnem mostu”. Ta bi nadomestil seL danji, neorganizirani sistem prevažanja beguncev. Kubanci so pristali na pogajanja, a do sporazuma je pot še dolga.
Potrjeno je, da pošilja Fidel Castro v ZDA navadne zločince. Kakim 700 zapornikom v neki državni jetnišhi-ci so Kubanci stavili na razpolago: ali hočejo ostati v zaporu ali odpotovati v ZDA. Predstavnik vselitvenega tirada ameriške vlade je rekel novinarjem, da bodo ZDA vrnile Kubi vse navadne zločince in ničvredneže.
Guverner Floride Bob Graham se pritožuje nad stroški, ki jih povzročajo novo-prišli begunci s Kube in zvezna vlada mu je obljubila nekaj denarne pomoči.

Porota je ugotovila, da je Bert Lance nedolžen sleparife
ATLANTA, Ga. — Porota Zveznega sodišča v tem mestu je ugotovila, da je prejš- _ nji ožji svetovalec predsednika Carterja Bert Lance nedolžen sleparije. O treh točkah v obtožbi pa se porota ni mogla odločiti. O d v e t n i ki zvezne vlade razmišljajo, ali naj zahtevajo novo sodno obravnavo glede teh točk.
Ko je januarja 1977 Jimmy Carter postal p r ed s ednik ZDA, je bil Bert Lahce imenovan za proračunskega načelnika v Beli hiši. Njegov vpliv v Carterjevi administraciji je pa segal dlje, ker je predsednik sam povedal, da je prav Lance njegov najtesnejši sodelavec.
Že septembra 1977 je pa moral Lance podati svojo o-stavko, ker je bil obtožen zlorabe svojega položaja, ko je bil načelnik neke večje banke v Atlanti. Lance nikoli ni priznal nobene krivde in s® je branil odločno.
Tudi predsednik Carter je °stal zvest svojemu prijatelju in ga večkrat podprl jav-ho. Ko je zvedel za odločitev Porote, je poklical takoj Lan-cca in mu čestital.
O možni vrnitvi I.ancea v Carterjevo administracijo pa n' nobenega govora.

Predvsem gre za pogodbo, ki ima neomejeno dobo (e-ventuelni odstop mora biti najavljen predhodno v dobi šestih mesecev). Nato predvideva sodelovanje v globalnem smislu na najrazličnejših področjih. V ta namen se bo ustanovil poseben kooperacijski svet, ki bo moral občasno začrtati zadevne smernice za sodelovanje. Področja, ki jih ta sporazum predvideva, so v glavnem gospodarskega in tehničnega značaja. Ta so predvsem naslednja: industrija, energija, znanstveno raziskovanje, tehnologija, kmetijstvo, promet, turizem, okolje, ribolov. Ti načrti pa predvidevajo tudi finančno sodelovanje,' saj bo izvršna komisija EGS (evropska vlada) prispevala k uresničitvi skupnih načrtov v Jugoslaviji vsoto 230 milijard lir v dobi petih let. Pri tem bosta EGS in SFRJ posebej upoštevali uresničevanje določil Osimskih sporazumov.
Kar posebej zadeva trgovi-
Predsednik Carler je moral spremenili svojo volivno taktiko
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Zadnjih 6 mesecev je predsednik Jimmy Carter le redko zapustil Belo hišo. Trdil je namreč, da so njegove obveznosti napram zajetim talcem v Iranu in drugim problemom domače in zunanje politike, s katerimi se mora soočiti, važnejše, kakor politična potovanja po deželi.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy kritizira že dalj časa Carterja zaradi tega zadržanja v Beli hiši in mu očita, da ga kontrolirajo iranski skrajneži. Kennedy želi, da bi predsednik sodeloval v debatah, na katerih bi oba povedala svoje mnenje o tekočih problemih in njih rešitev.
Po neuspelem vojaškem posegu v Iranu in odstopu Cy-rusa Vancea se je Carter odločil, da mu sedaj dopuščajo njegove obveznosti volivna potovanja in druge obiske. Predsednik je utemeljil to odločitev s tem, da so problemi manj resni in da ima torej več časa na razpolago.
Sen. Kennedy je odvrnil takoj, da se je Carter odločil pokazati med volivci predvsem zato, ker je bil premagan v šestih od zadnjih sedmih primarnih volitvah in se zaveda tega padca svoje priljubljenosti med volivci in posledic, ki jih ta padec lahko ima na strankini konvenciji.
Kennedy je zahteval, naj se Carter udeleži debate med obema demokratskima kandidatoma. , Predsednikov tiskovni predstavnik Jody Powell je pa rekel, da Carter tega ne bo storil, češ, da volivci že vedo o razlikah v pogledih obeh kandidatpv.

no, bo sporazum upošteval različne stopnje razvoja obeh strani, zlasti pa bo olajšal pogoje za uveljavitev jugoslovanskih proizvodov na evropskem trgu. Velik del jugoslovanskih industrijskih- izdelkov bo oproščen davkov in ne bo podvržen nikaki omejitvi za uvoz. Posebne ugodnosti predvideva sporazum za ovrednotenje nekaterih proizvodov kot so tekstilni, nato slivovke, vina, tobaka itd. Ugodnosti bodo veljale posebej za uvoz na evropski trg in v Jugoslavijo proizvodov, ki jih bo dala novoustanovljena industrijska cona na meji med državama. Jugoslavija bo s svoje strani podelila EGS status najbolj privilegirane države, obratno pa bo lahko ukrepala v skladu s potrebami lastnega industrijskega razvoja.
Samo po sebi je razumljivo, da ima tak sporazum poleg ožjega gospodarskega tudi širši politični pcmen. Gre predvsem za dejstvo, da je prišlo do posebno tesnih o-
Zadnje vesti
•	Washington, D.C. — Japonski ministrski predsednik Masajoši Ohira je na obisku V ZDA. Včeraj se je sestal s predsednikom Carterjem in mu svetoval, naj se prizadeva za mirno rešitev -iranske krize.
•	New Delhi,., Ind. -— Poro-cila, ki prihajajo iz Afganistana, govorijo o novih neredih v Kabulu. Demonstranti so večinoma visokošolci in visokošolke. Poročila dodajajo, da je bilo najmanj '50 študentov ubitih, nekaj sto pa ranjenih ali aretiranih. Med drugim so študenti avtomobilsko povorko, v kateri se je peljal sekretar sovjetske komunistične stranke Mihail V. Zimjanin, obmetavali s kamni in krompirjem, nakar so začeli streljati sovjetski stražarji, ki so spremljali povorko.
•	Key West, Fla. — Zvezna vlada bo postavila nekakšno “šotorno mesto” za kubanske begunce, ki prihajajo v ZDA. Begunce bodo pošiljali na letalsko oporišče Eglin, jih zaslišali in napravili zdravstvene preglede ter jih nato poslali naprej k svojcem.
•	Moskva, ZSSR. — Veleposlaniki 16 držav so bojkotirali slovesen pohod, ki so ga priredili Sovjeti v počastitev 1. maja, ki je narodni praznik v tej deželi, kakor v ostalih komunističnih državah.
•	Youngstown, O. — Policaji v tem mestu so začeli štraj-kati. Gasilci grozijo, da se jim bodo pridružili. Vsi zahtevajo znatno povišanje svojih plač.
•	San Salvador, El Sal. — Državljanska vojna v tej revni deželici se nadaljuje brez odmora. V spopadu med vojaštvom in neko gverilsko skupino je umrlo 20 ljudi Desničarski atentatorji so vdrli v neko bolnico in ustrelili do smrti dva študenta, levičarja, ki sta bila ranjena pred enim tednom.
blik sodelovanja med Evropsko gospodarsko skupnostjo in državo, ki je politično neuvrščena, poleg tega pa še s komunističnim režimom. Gotovo je ta primer edinstven in verjetno ne bi pretiravali, če bi to primerjali s podobno, čeprav morda za takratno dobo drznejšo potezo Titove Jugoslavije, ko je kmalu po prelomu s Kominformom in Sovjeti podpisala na Bledu s Turčijo in Grčijo vojaški Balkanski pakt. Ta sicer ni niti dobro zaživel, ko je že romal v pozabo, vendar je pomenil korenit premik v takratni jugoslovanski zunanji politiki, obenem pa še nevaren izziv Moskvi in vzhodnemu bloku.
Danes ne gre več za kako vojaško pogodbo, razmere so precej spremenjene, čeprav je prav letos spet sovjetska napadalnost pokazala vso svojo ost v Aziji. Sedanja jugoslovanska odločitev, ki jo sicer plod že večletnega sodelovanja z EGS, pomeni na
LONDON, Vel. Brit. — Skupina teroristov je vdrla v iransko veleposlaništvo v tem mestu in ga zasedla. Teroristi pripadajo arabski narodnostni manjšini v Iranu in zahtevajo, naj iranska vlada izpusti na svobodo 91 političnih zapornikov.
Teroristi zadržujejo okrog 20 talcev in so grozili ponovno, da bodo ubili talce in u-ničili poslaništvo, ako iranska vlada ne sprejme njihovih zahtev.
Iranski zunanji minister Sadeg Gotbzadeh je izjavil, da Iran ne bo izpustil omenjenih zapornikov pod nobenim pogojem. Dodal je, da če se kaj zgodi zajetim talcem v Londonu, bo iranska vlada v odgovor usmrtila tiste zapornike, Id so jih imenovali teroristi.' Isto je rekel ajatola Homeini.
Iranska vlada je dala Angliji proste roke v zvezi z reševanjem zadeve okoli poslaništva v Londonu. Londonski policaji so obkolili poslopje in skušajo pregovoriti teroriste, naj se vdajo.
Medtem ko je položaj v poslaništvu dokaj miren, imajo policaji precej težav na ulicah v bližini poslopja. Zbralo se je večje število angleških in drugih radovednežev, med njimi tudi precej Irancev. Iranci večinoma podpirajo Homeinijevo vlado in obstoji nevarnost, da bi razjarjeni Homeinijevci skušali napasti poslaništvo.
Angleži in drugi očividci v bližini poslaništva pa zmerjajo Irance, ki vračajo psovko za psovko. Prišlo je že do nekaj izgredov in več ljudi ■ je bilo aretiranih.
Skrajneži v Teheranu trdijo, da sta odgovorna za “teroristični napad” ameriški CIA in angleška vlada.

vsak način odgovorno politično izbiro. In ta ne bo mogla ostati brez odmeva v širši evropski in svetovni politiki.
Lahko trdimo, da je s tem aktom Jugoslavija še bolj približala svojo politiko Evropi. Ne gre za kako bodočo vključitev SFRJ v sam sistem EGS ali kako bolj poudarjeno filozahodno smer. Tega si sama Evropa (v smislu politične skupnosti deveterih) niti ne pričakuje. Nasprotno, verjetno si tudi EGS želi, da ostane danes Jugoslavija neuvrščena sila in tako na izredno pomembnem strateškem položaju, kot je Balkan in na poti v Sredozemlje, ohranja politično nevezano, a obenem aktivno in neodvisno politiko. Novi sporazum z EGS pa vseeno daje beograjski vladi velike politične adute in s tem tudi preprečuje kako možno izolacijo Jugoslavije tudi v po titovskem obdobju od skupnostne politike Evrope.

Polkovnik Beckwith
Poveljnik ameriške vojaške enote, ki je vdrla v Iran z namenom rešiti ujete talce, je bil polkovnik Charles Beckwith. Na tiskovni konferenci, ki jo je podal Beckwith včeiaj v Pentagonu, je povedal, da je bil on tisti, ki je predlagal, naj se enota umakne iz Irana.
V Washingtonu so se širile namreč govorice, da je Beckwith odločno nasprotoval u-rnaknitvi in da je bil celo pripravljen upokojiti se zaradi svojega razočaranja nad Carterjevo odločitvijo.
Včeraj je pa rekel Beckwith, da sploh ni nobene resnice v teh vesteh. Ko je izvedel, da mu je ostalo samo 5 helikopterjev za polet v Teheran, je pojasnil Beckwith, je razmišljal dve sekundi in potem predlagal Carterju, naj ■ ne nadaljujejo s posegom.

Ameriški veleposlanik nima prav nič dobrega povedati o gverilcih
HOMESTEAD AFB, Fla. — Ameriški veleposlanik v Kolumbiji Diego C. Asencio, ki je bil med talci v zasedenem poslaništvu Domini kanske republike v Bogoti, se je vrnil s Kube v ZDA.
Prvi dnevi so bili najtežji, je rekel Asencio, potem pa je vedel, da bo preživel zasedbo. O gverilcih, ki so sodelovali v akciji, ima poslanik slab vtis. “Niso imeli pojma o dejanskem svetu,” je povedal Asencio predstavniku tajništva za zunanje zadeve Da-veu Passageu, ki je nato govoril z novinarji.
Ko so gverilci trdili, da vodi kolumbijsko vlado ameriški CIA, jim je Ascencio odgovoril, da ako bi to bilo res, bi bila zasedba poslaništva končana v enem dnevu.
Passage je dodal, da je A-sencio, ki je ameriški veleposlanik v Kolumbiji že tri leta, v dobrem zdravstvenem in duševnem stanju.

Tudi Genaral Motors
prisilfotia od’-nsliji več svrih delavcev
DETROIT, Mich. — Največja ameriška izdelovalka avtomobilov General Motors ima tudi težave s prodajo svojih izdelkov. Kljub temu, da je General Motors v boljšem finančnem stanju, kakor sta Ford in Chrysler, je morala sporočiti, da bo odpustila kakih 18,000 svojih uslužbencev.
Finančniki napovedujejo, da si bo General Motors prihranila s tem korakom okrog 540 milijonov dolarjev.
Ford, Chrysler in General Motors — takozvana “velika troika” v ameriški avtomo-bilrki industriji — so odpustile doslej približno čeb“ milijona svojih delavcev in uslužbencev.

Delovna produktivnost
Pri pogajanjih za časa velikega velikonočnega štrajka transportnih uslužbencev v New Yorku, ki je vzbudil veliko pozornost po vsej Ameriki (in morda tudi prek njenih mej), so se zastopniki delavstva in predstavniki delodajalskega prevoznega podjetja ponovno dotaknili vprašanja proizvodne storilnosti ali produktivnosti prizadetega transportnega delavstva. Delodajalec je vztrajal pri zahtevi, da se mora s poviškom plač zvišati tudi storilnost uslužbenstva.
Pod pritiskom javne kritike glede umestnosti stavke, in rastočega nezadovoljstva publike je zastopnik delavstva končno pristal na neko formulo za zvišanje produktivnosti. Ta koncesija je pripomogla do končnega sporazuma, ker je dala delodajalcu v roko argument, češ, da je znatno povišanje plač odtehtano deloma z vestnejšim in produktivnejšim delom.
Toda časopisje je kmalu prišlo do sklepa, da bo večja storilnost delavstva komaj kaj pomagala podjetju pri znižanju proračunskih izdatkov za zvišane plače. ■ Bo kljub lepim obljubam ostalo želo verjetno kar pri starem:	transportno podjetje bo moralo seči
globlje v žep, ki se polni z vozninami in javnimi podporami, delavci pa bodo šli za svojim poslom po stari navadi.
•‘Že dolgo zvoni mrtvaški navček k smrti delovne etike v Ameriki,” je prav te dni zapisal Daniel T. Rodgers, profesor univerze v Madisonu, Wis. Učeni visokošolski učitelj potem razlaga, zakaj in kako je do tega prišlo, ko so vendar protestantski (puritanski) premožni krogi na ameriškem severu globoko verovali v uspeh trdega dela in to svoje prepričanje tudi intenzivno razširjali na vse sloje prebivalstva. Toda njihovo vero v delovno moralo (ali etiko) je gospodarski razvoj 19. stoletja mod delovnim ljudstvom zelo oma-■ jal.
Prehod iz obrtništva v industrializem je pri tem razvoju igral svojo vlogo in jo igra tudi v našem času. Vedno obširnejša industrijska podjetja in bujna rast birokracije v vseh vrstah javne uprave so najboljše leglo in kotišče za umiranje delovne etike. Vedno bolj dosledno se izloča iz delovnega procesa vsaka sled nekdanje čustvene primesi, ki je enoličnosti dela dodajala nekaj prijetnosti in zadovoljstva ob misli na lepoto in vrednost končnega izdelka.
Tekoči trakovi moderne industrije so tako prijetnost in zadovoljstvo zamorili, ostro ločili delovni čas od prostega časa počitka in oddiha ter iz živega, čustvenega človeka napravili napol mrtvega robota, ki povsem mehanično izdeluje le delček celotnega izdelka. Da ob takih delovnih razmerah o kakšni delovni motali ne more biti govora, je jasno. Biti more samo strah pred nadzornikom, če bi delavec pri svojem manipuliranju s stroji kaj zagrešil. Strah pa ni delovna etika!
Po drugi plati- cjelavčeve morale pri delu ne more vzdrževati njegova vednost, da ne bo končni izdelek narejen na najboj trpežen način, ampak namenoma lefc za gotovo dobo, nakar se bo izrabil in pokvaril toliko, da se popravilo ne bo izplačalo in bo treba kupiti no- : vega. Prof. Rodgers upravičeno pravi-, da odkritja zadnjega desetletja v delavski zgodovini onemogočajo neovirano pisanje o delovni etiki kot nacionalni obveznosti.
Ta pisec pa bi iz lastne analize o odnosu delavca do njegove zaposlitve dodal k zgoraj omenjeni oceni še dva elementa k nizki delovni morali ir Ameriki, ki se mu zdi ta izredno pomembna, skoraj odločilna. To je ; siiiološko razmerje delavca do podjetja, kjer je zaposlen, potem pa odsoten avtomatičen gmotni dodatek ra njegove dohodke v sorazmerju z ekonomskim uspehom delodajalca, t. j. lastnika podjetja. Današnji manager in delavec si stojita nasproti kot dva tujca z različnimi, skoraj sovražnimi interesi. Prvi išče profite z izKcriščanjem delavca, drugi si privošči prvega z nizko produktivnostjo, češ, čemu bi se pretegoval pri delu. ko bo to šlo v profite bogatim delničarjem in manager-jem.	. ■	'
Zakaj se tako strogo držati kapitalistične preteklosti, namesto da bi podjetništvo pritegnilo zastopnike delavstva v upravo podjetja, kjer bi lahko ob primer-; mn prilikah izrekli svojo besedo v imenu delavstva in

Nato smo šle skupaj v spodnjo dvorano, kjer nas je sprejela pri vhodu naša prijazna podpredsednica ga. Mary Gerl. Bila je presenečena nad veliko udeležbo.
Zborgvanje,,jp.yxlprla glavna predsednica z molitvijo. Nato je poklicala uradnice, ki so bile vse navzoče. Prebran je bil zapisnik. Ugotovile smo, da je bil zelo dobro in natančno urejen in sicer po spretni roki ge. Mary Strancar.
Na dnevnem redu je bilo romanje na naše ameriške Brezje, k Mariji' Pomagaj v Lemontu. Voditeljica ga. Mary Marinko je želela, da se čim prej odločimo za potovanje, ker bodo olajšane s tem skrbi in delo. Veliko je dela in skrbi, preden so zasedeni trije avtobusi!
Naše članice Oltarnega društva pri Sv. Vidu je leno zastopala naša predsednica ga. Anna Brodnik. Orisala je vsa dela, ki jih izvršujejo članice našega Oltarnega društva. ,
V odbor Zveze sta bili izvoljeni dve novi uradnici. Ga. Anna I ar ko je blagajničarka in ga. Ivanka Kette je zapisnikarica.
Seja se je zaključila z‘molitvijo, nakar so nam prijazne članice pri Sv. Kristini
postregle s pecivom in kavo.
Vse se je končalo v najlepšem redu in v upanju, da se vidimo vsi na romanju pri naši nebeški Materi Mariji v Lemontu.

35. obletnica
CLEVELAND, O. — Leta beže in brez prestanka iz dnevnih dogodkov spletajo zgodovino.
V zgodovini slovenskega naroda se je pričelo povsem novo razdobje z drugo svetovno vojno in komunistično revolucijo, ki sta tefjali neizmeren krvav davek. Deset-tisoči so umirali tedaj nasilne smrti, -žal, mnogo več po bratomorni 'komunistični roki, kot po okupatorjevi. Višek pa, je bil pokol iz Vetrinja vrnjenih četnikov in domobrancev v maju. 1945 — pred 35 leti. Dvanajst tisoč slovenskih življenj!
Društvo pro t ikomunistič-nih borcev Cleveland se vsako leto spominja vseh teh žrtev in tudi naših fantov, ki sp našli/smrt , kot ameriški vejaki.na korejskih in viet-‘ namskih bojiščih, s posebno spominsko sv. mašo pri Lur-ški Materi -božji na Chardor; Rd. in z obiskom na pokopališču Vernih duš. l ' :
Letos bo ta sv. maša v nedeljo, 25. maja, ob pol 12. dopoldne, ob pol 4. popoldne pa bodo molitve na pokopališču. Vse Slovence lepo vabimo, da se nam pridružijo.
Že zdaj naprošamo tiste, ki imajo narodne noše, naj se v njih udeležijo sv. maše, da bo čim slovesneje počaščen spomin naših junakov.

Ob 200 letnici rofstva Jerneja iCopitarja
LEMONT, 111. — Oddelki slovanskih jezikov na University of Chicago, Columbia University, University of Illinois, Chicago Circle in Northwestern University priredijo mednarodno konferenco v spomin dvestoletnice rojstva jezikoslovca Jerneja Kopitarja (1780 - 1841). Konferenca je organizirana v zvezi s South Slavic Linguistic Conference of the University of Chicago in se bo vršila od večera 14. maja in ves dan 15. maja 1980.
Konferenco so organizirali in zanjo izdelali načrt; Henry R. Cooper (Northwestern University), Rado L. Lenček (Columbia University), Biljana Šljivič-Šimčič (University of Illinois - Chicago Circle) in Howard Aronson (U-niversity of Chicago).
V načrtu je kakih 12 predavanj o Kopitarjevem obši rnem delu kot filologu, slovničarju, o njegovem avstr o-
bi se tako sproti poravnale sporne zadeve obojim v korist, nikomur v škodo? Zakaj bi se ne moglepiajti sporazumna formula, po kateri bi delavec bil na primeren način deležen pri dobičku, ki ga je s svojim pridnim delom sam pomagal ustvarjati? Ali bi to oboje ne bila najboljša spodbuda za večjo proizvodno storil nost delavcev, ko bi vedeli, da večji napor rodi večji dohodek?
Nemara ameriški business misli, da se ne sme pra\ nič učiti od drugod. Vztraja pri svojem, a statistike kažejo, da produktivnost delavstva pada, prof. Rodgers trdi, da je delovna morala na smrtni postelji, druge industrijske dežele se že uspešno kosajo z Ameriko (npr. Nemčija, Japonska) in osvajajo njena tržišča. Morda bi bilo le prav, če bi se odločilni krogi in instance ob tej resnici zamislili in potrebno ukrenili. Dolžni so to ne samo za dobrobit svoje domovine, ampak tudi za ostali svobodni svet, ki vidi v gospodarsko močni, nepremagljivi Ameriki poroštvo za svojo varnost in svetovni mir.

šlovanizmu, vplivu na bolgarske študije, slavistu, kako so Slovenci sprejeli Kopitarja itd.
Jernej Kopitar je bil slovenski jezikoslovec. Miselno se je oblikoval pod vodstvom Ž. Zoisa in ob dopisovanju s češkim slavistom in preroditeljem češkega književnega jezika Jožefom Dobrovskym. Na Dunaju je bil cenzor in skriptor v državni knjižnici.
Kopitar je bil priznan filolog po vsej Evropi. Bil je učitelj Frana Miklošiča (1813-1891), najpomembnejšega slovenskega filologa 19. stoletja. Napisal je “Primerjalno slovnico slovanskih jezikov”, “Staroslovanski cerkveni slovar” in “Etimološki slovar slovanskih jezikov”.
Pod vplivom romantike se; je zanirhal za ljudsko slovstvo. Napisal je prvo slovensko znanstveno slovnico (1808- 1809). Bil je nasprotnik Prešernove poezije.

Slovensko gledališče iz Toronta gostovalo v našem Fairfieidgi

FAIRFIELD, Conn. Nedavna je gostovalo v naši slovenski naselbini Slbvertsko gledališče iž ; Toronta, Kanada, ,ki' ga- vodi nadarjeni g. inž., Vilko Čekuta. V Fairfiel-dd smo priredili Slovenski večer in gostje iz Toronta so podali veseloigro ‘Voda’. Prireditev je uspela odlično!
Človek si sploh ne. more misliti, da igralci in igralke, ki so vsi v Kanadi rojeni, tako lepo govore slovenski jezik. Hitreje bi verjel, da so prišli gostovat iz Ljubljane kakor iz Toronta!
Kanadske rojake in rojakinje je sprejel č. g. Alois H r i b š e k , župnik fare sv. Križa v Fairfieldu, ter jih pozdravi), kakor tudi vse, navzoče, v imenu fare in Lige slovenskih Amerikancev, Inc. Rev. Hribšek je izrekel dobrodošlico gostom in poudaril, da je cilj tega srečanja skupna ohranitev slovenske besede in slovenskih običajev v igri.
Dvorana je bila še kar lepo zasedena od naših Slovencev. Igralci so izpeljali prav dovršeno vsak svojo vlogo. Iz-gledalo je, kot da bi bili res v tej majhni vasici Pšenična polica pri Cerkljah, pod tistim starim orehom sredi vasi.'
Navdušili so občinstvo tako, da je spremljalo ■ njihovo ljudsko komedijo dejanje za dejanjem z glasnim odobravanjem ter z živahnim in krepkim aplavzom. S tem so pokazali navzoči, kako jim je pri srcu slovenska kultura v igri in petju.
Ob koncu igre se jim je g. Jožef Višinski zahvalil za ta lep in prijeten večer. Med drugim je rekel g. Višinski, ki je predsednik Slovenskega kulturnega društva Bajaga, da so Torontčani nam Slovencem dali ljubezen do naše narodne skupnosti ter do vsega, kar nam je sveto. Mala gdč. Višinski jim je zapela in jim v imenu fare izročila lep šopek nageljev.
Jaz pa se moram zahvaliti v imenu fare sv. Križa za vso pomoč, ki jo je nudilo članstvo SKD Baraga v kuhinji, točilnici, pri prodaji vstopnic za prireditev, za hrano in pijačo ter za srečolov. Hvala našim slovenskim ženam za -dobro in okusno pecivo.
Prav tako lepa hvala Ligi slovenskih Amerikancev ter vsem slovenskim narodnjakom, ki ste prišli od blizu in daleč in s svojo navzočnostjo in finančno podporo podprli to lepo veseloigro!

Škofovsko posvečenje A. Turka v Beogradu
CLEVELAND, O. — Katoliška cerkev v Beogradu je dobila novega vodnika. V nedeljo, 20. aprila t.L, je prejel novi beograjski nadškof Alojzij Turk iz rok apostolskega pronunciia v Jugoslaviji nadr škofa Michaela Cecčhiriija in sopošvečevalcev nadškofov in’ metropolitov Kuhariča iz Zagreba in Šuštarja iz Ljubljane škofovsko posvečenje.
Beograjski k a t o 1 ičani in njihovi prijatelji so za to priložnost napolnili veliko cerkev sv. Antona, znano delo slovenskega arhitekta J. Plečnika in zavzeto sodelovali pri obredih.
Slovesni vhod v cerkev 12 nadškofov, domačega nadškofa (in dtlige duhovščine je s kora spremljalo ubrano petje domačega pevskega zbora, o-krepljenega s pevci iz drugih beograjskih župnij. Pod vodstvom Jurija Devetaka so ti peli kar v treh jezikih: latinskem, srbohrvaškem in slovenskem. Za orglami je bil
Franc Ban, beograjski Slovenec, ki je .v Ljubljani opravil glasbeni študij.,	■
Za uvod v bogoslužje je zagrebški nadškof in metropolit Franjo Kuharič povedal nekaj besed o škofu kot -pričevalcu vstalega Kristusa. Ho-milijo med mašo je imel su-botiški škof Matiša Zvekano-vič. Nedeljski evangelij (Kristus sprašuje Petra o njegovi ljubezni, nato pa mu izroči skrb za svoje ovce) je primerjal izboru in posvetitvi novega škofa. Preden je Kristus izročil Petru skrb za ovce, je moral napraviti nekakšen izpit. Tudi škof ga mora pred posvečenjem. Njegovi odločni odgovori na vprašanja posvetitelja so neke vrste pečat nad svojim lastnim življenjskim pričeva-
njem.
V evangeliju je Kristus Petru napovedal trpljenje in na koncu mučeniško smrt. Nadškof Turk ni niti. iskal niti želel križa, katerega mu Cerkev danes nalaga na ramena, toda prav gotovo je veliko razmišljal o evangeliju nedelje svojega posvečenja. Govornik je izrazil željo in prepričanje, da bo ljubezen do Boga in ljudi novemu nadškofu pomagala premagati vse žrtve, katere ga čakajo.
Obred škofovskega posvečenja je lepo potekal ob sodelovanju vseh navzočih. Pronuncij Cecchini je opravil vse obrede v pravilni hrvaščini; s kratkimi razlagami pa ga je spremljal s prižnice Herman Habič.
Poleg škofov posvečevalcev so bili okrog oltarja še sarajevski nadškof in metropolit Marko Jozinovič, koprski škof Janez Jenko, dubrovniški škof Severin Pernek, dja-kovski škof Ciril Kos, apostolski administrator Banata škof Thomas Jung, subotiški škof Matiša Zv e k a n o v i č, skopski-prizrenski škof Joa-kim Segedi, in zagre.ški pomožni škof Djuro Koksa. Lazariste je zastopal slovenski provincial Zdravko Pogorelc, frančiškane p. Alojzij Ištuk
Srbski patriarh German, ki se ni mogel udeležiti slovesnosti, pa je poslal svojega osebnega zastopnika vikarne-ga škofa Danila Krstiča; rusko pravoslavno skupnost iz Beograda je zastopal jeromo-
nah in starešina ruskega po-dvorja Vasilije Tarasjev. Na slovesnosti so bili tudi zastopniki beograjske pravoslavne teološke fakultete kakor tudi teološke fakultete iz Ljubljane, na kateri je novi beograjski nadškof svoj čas diplomiral.
Iz Slovenije je razen nadškofa in metropolita ter koprskega škofa prišel še ljubljanski nadškofijski kancler msgr. Franc Vrhunc, več drugih duhovnikov kakor tudi ožjih rojakov novega^ nadškofa in njegovih najbližjih sorodnikov. Na prostornih cerkvenih galerijah pa je obredom sledilo večje število veleposlanikov s svojimi družinami.
Po opravljeni slovesnosti se je novi nadškof s krepko in odločno besedo zahvalil vsem, ki so ga bili podpirali na njegovi dosedanji življenjski poti, kakor še posebej tistim, ki so prišli na posvečenje. Po-veda\,je tudi nekaj misli o beograjski katoliški skupnosti, katera je v zgodovini morala marsikaj pretrpeti, a kljub temu še živi svoje polno življenje.
Po maši zbrana množica kar ni mogla pustiti novega nadškofa v župnišče. Vsak mu je hotel čestitati, ga po vzhodni navadi objeti in mu vsaj stisniti roko. Posebej ganljiva so bila srečanja z zastopniki ^župnij, katere je nadškof nekoč upravljal. Naj-rpočnejša skupina je prišla iz katoliške župnije Janjevo na Rosovu.
O banketu, katerega je pripravil novi nadškof za naj-ožji krog povabljencev v hotelu Metropol, pa prihodnjič. (Po “Družini” od 27. 4. 1980J

Misijonska srečanja In pomenki
477. Materinski dan
bomo praznovali drugo nedeljo v maju. Naše misli bodo hitele k živim in rajnim našim materam. Kaj bi mi bili brez njih? Sploh nas ne bi bilo, če ne bi imeli tako dobrih mater.
Ko je torontski pomožni škof dr. Alojzij Ambrožič bil umeščen, je stopil pred polno katedralo posebej k svoji materi, da se ji vpričo vseh zahvali za dar življenja in krščansko vzgojo. Nedavno je mati novega nadškofa dr. Alojzija ŠuštaTja v ljubljanski stolnici sedela skromno v prvi vrsti sredi mnoštva dostojanstvenikov in vernih rojakov. Kako sestre žužkove govorijo o svoji materi!
Tvoja in moja mati. Sva ji dovolj hvaležna za vse, kar nama je dala v tolikih letih najinega doraščanja?
Molimo redno za naše matere. Bodimo do njih dobri, če smo tako srečni, da jih še imamo. Tako je z njimi, kot z zdravjem. Ko jih izgubimo, začutimo v vsej globini, da nekaj v življenju manjka. Poprej smo morda mislili, da pač morajo nekje biti, včasih morda kar malo pozabljene.
Družina Rudija Kneza
je ob izgubi ge. Ane Nemčeve, matere ge. Anice Knezove, poslala v njen spomin za naše misijonarje tele darove, v znesku $200.00:
družina Rudija Kneza $79; ga. Mary Časar $20.00; po $10 družina Ede Vovk — Pušl, Matevža Tominec, Franka Zalarja, Jožefa Vegel in ga. Louise Kosmerl; po $5.00 družine Frank Balažič, Geričevi, Marjana Kosem, Lesica, Tony O'Kicky, John Oražem, Vinko Rozmanovi, Tony Štepcevi, ga. Frances Tomšič; $4.00 družina Janez Košir in družina Jože Magajna $2.00.
MZA se vsem dobrotnikom lepo zahvaljuje in dobro Nemčevo mamo vsem v molitev Priporoča.
Za misijonarja Jankota Slabeta na Madagaskarju je darovala ga. Ivanka Kette $30.00 m ga. Frances Stariha iz Euc-lida v spomin rajne sestre Alojzije Demšar $50.00. Ga. Frances Raischel za vse $5.00.

Cleveland, o. 2. maja 1980.
Bog povrni vsem!
Umrla je v Little Falls, N.Y. ga. Jennie Petkovšek, dolgoletna naročnica KM in velika ljubiteljica slovenskih misijonarjev. Prav tako Grudnova mama v Gilbert, Minnesota. Naj obe počivati v miru!
Iz nemirnega Irana piše 29. marca sestra Cecilija Rode med drugim: “Zelo lepo se Vam zahvaljujem za pismo od 2. marca. Dospelo je kar hitro v ta čudni in razburkani Iran. Sem v Teheranu za tri dni, da obnovim potni list. Imeli smo sestanek s škofom, ki je po rodu Irec. Bilo nas je 22 duhovnikov in 15 sester. Prestavil je posvečenje svetih olj na petek, ker je ta dan v islamskem svetu prost dan, kot naša nedelja. Kako čudovito smo občutili sv. mašo ob 18 somašujočih duhovnikih in apostolskem nunciju, sredi islamskega sveta. Prepevali smo po latinsko in angleško. Na sestanku so bili razgovori v francoščini in angleščini. To so dnevi milosti!
O, ko bi videli ameriško poslaništvo v tem mestu. Je grozno, ko gledaš nanj od daleč. Apostolski nuncij je omenil, da je videl voditelja Irancev in ga zaprosil, da bi smel maševati za ameriške talce na Veliko noč. Odgovora ni takoj dobil.
Ko sem brala Vaše mnenje o Titu, sem videla, da nisem samo jaz takih misli. Odkar je težko bolan, prosim Gospoda, da bi se spokoril. Nič ni izgubljenega, če ima človek vero v neskončno božjo Dobroto.
Lepe velikonočne pozdrave vsem dobrotnikom v MZA; naj nas molitev in žrtve povezujejo med seboj, dokler se ne srečamo v lepši, varnejši domovini pri Gospodu.”
S. Rode se gdč. Ferjanovi v drugem pismu zahvaljuje za ček MZA, poslan zanjo v Paris s Prebilovi, katere zdravje se polagoma utrjuje.
Omenja, kako so celo otroci v gobavskem naselju začeli ponavljati psovke proti Ame-rikancem, ko so jih na televiziji poslušali. Dolarjev sploh ne marajo in ček, ki ga je g. Kvas poslal zanjo iz Kanade, je morala poslati nazaj.
V	mestu Tabriz je bil nekak upor zoper voditelja in so iz sten izginile vse njegove slike. Zmagali so pristaši voditelja in postrelili vse vodilne nasprotne skupine. Izobesili so zopet slike, požigali banke in druga poslopja. Zelo bi radi dobili nazaj prejšnjega voditelja, da bi ga javno obglavili.
V Ely, Minnesota,
je umrl upokojeni župnik Frank Mihelčič, dolga leta dušni pastir rojakov v tem velikem rudarskem naselju, kjer je pred leti deloval mon-signor Buh. Naj počiva v miru!
V	Ljubljani je praznoval tiho 104 letnico življenja neumorni spovednik prof. dr. Jože Demšar. Apostolski delegat mu je sam nesel blagoslov od sv. Očeta, ob spremstvu škofa dr. Leniča in nanovo imenovanega nadškofa dr. Šuštarja.
Brat Rafael Mrzel je pisal dvakrat iz Filipinov 31. januarja in 17. marca. Ček MZA za salezijance na otokih je takoj razdelil in oddal deleža br. Kramarju in br. Hribarju, ki vodi mehanično šolo v Con-lubangu. Br. Kramar se pripravlja počasi za v Papua in • New Guinea, kamor bo šel orat ledino v povsem primitivnem obmorskem gozdnem kraju.
Kar težko je čakal ček, ker je povezan z ubogimi v kraju. Omejene so možnosti pomagati, a mnogo solza obriše še

taka malenkost, ki pride v potrebi iz srca ljubečega misijonarja.
Zraven rednega verskega pouka med mladino v šoli, nadaljujejo z duhovnimi vajami za 25 - 30 fantov na malo višjih krajih, kjer je vročina bolj znosna. Za mnoge je to prvi doživljaj v življenju za duhovno obnovo. Se zelo zanimajo, a škoda, da se ob povratku v vročino kar volja nekam poleni in oslabi. Veliko je pomanjkanje duhovnikov na deželi in v južnih otokih. Pride do 45,000 duš na enega duhovnika. Pa še ta je cesto zelo omejen v razvijanju načrtov. Sam je zelo utrujen, a dela z veseljem.
Vse v MZA lepo za praznike pozdravlja in se dobrotnikom za pomoč lepo zahvaljuje. Nov ček mu je MZA že poslala, potem ko je prvi bil vrnjen, češ da podpis bančnega managerja ni v redu.

Epomnil sem se na brevir, I i ga za tisti dan še nisem Lil opravil. Ker ni bilo družbe, sem se jel pogovarjati z Bogom in pogovor z Bogom mi je hipoma pregnal domotožje. Na zemljo je legala noč, vlak pa je brzel dalje in dalje, kakor da bi se čimprej hotel iznebiti svojega bremena.
V Št. Pavlu sem legel v posteljo. “Prvič v življenju bom nocoj spal v vlaku,” šem si mislil, pa sem se motil. Kdo bi spal pri tem neprestanem premetavanju, ropotu, hrupu in vrišču? Če me je za hip premagala utrujenost in so jele oči skupaj lesti, je že pridrvel od nasprotne strani drug vlak ter s strašnim hruščem švignil mimo, da sem v postelji poskočil in se stresel, kakor da me je vlak v hrbet zadel. Nato je lokomotiva tako zavrisnila, kakor sem poz-

Tvoji starši, brata in sestrici. Cleveland, 2. maja, 1980,

neje slišal, vriskati kranjske fante, ko so šli ponoči mimo župnišča po cesti Glass Ave.
Drugo jutro okrog osme ure smo dospeli v Chicago. Izmotal sem se iz postelje in se oprostil vsemogočih kocov in rjuh. Brž sem se umil in napravil, da bi videl to mestno čudo, o katerem sem že toliko zanimivega bral in slišal.
Toda kmalu sem bil popolnoma razočaran. Chicago v sliki in v resnici! kakšna razlika! Pa so menda vsa mesta ob železnici enako črna, zakajena in nevabljiva drugim kakor- “večnim popotnikom”, po domače “trempom”.
“Chicago! Chicago!” je klical železniški sprevodnik. Izstopil sem, maševati’ pa tisto jutro nisem mogel, ker se nisem vedel kam obrniti. Ostal sem na. postaji, popil malo kave in precej nato vstopil v krasni' newyorški centralni vlak.
Tako lapih železniških voz še nisem videl. Tam na zapa-du nimajo takih, ali vsaj takrat jih še niso imeli. Tu pa smo se peljali udobno kakor na kaki veliki moderni ladji. Sedel sem k oknu, da bi laže opazoval pokrajine in mesta, mimo katerih smo brzeli. Domačim sem namreč obljubil, da jim bom vse popisal, kar bom videi in doživel.
Toda utrujenost in pomanjkanje spanja v pretekli noči me je premagalo in krpalu zazibalo v prav sladko spanje. Tedaj me pa hipoma prebudi glas: “Vozni listek, prosim!” Brž začnem tipati in brskati po žepih, toda voznega listka ni nikjer.
Sprevodnik čaka in čaka, ko pa le ni listka od nikoder, se nasmehne in reče:	“Ako
ga najdeš, mi ga boš pokazal, ko se vrnem.” Po dolgem brskanju sem ga vendarle odkril v najbolj skritem delu žepa, kamor sem ga bil vtaknil, da bi ga ne izgubil.
Drveli smo dalje proti vzhodu, proti mojemu končnemu cilju. Zimsko sonce je bilo ravno vzšlo in je mežavo pogledalo zemljo, potem se jp pa zopet skrilo, kakor da ni na zemlji zanimivosti, ki bi bile vredne njenega pogleda. Tudi jaz sem se polagoma naveličal gledati s snegom pokrite pokrajine in gola drevesa ter sem kmalu zopet zadremal.
Ko šem se prebudil, je noč že v drugo legla na zemljo in zagrnila vso okolico v svoj skrivnostni črni plašč. Tedaj pa me je začelo skrbeti, me
bo li kdo prišel na kolodvor čakat? “Ej, bom že kako prišel do Sv. Vida,” sem si mislil, ko začujem: “Cleveland! Osrednji kolodvor! Cleveland!”
Prihod v Cleveland
Dospel sem torej v Cleveland. “Obleka! Čevlji!” je vpil zamorec, ki nam je stregel in nas krtačil, dokler ni dobil napitnine. Vesel, da je moje dolge poti konec, hitro nagrnem težko zimsko suknjo, ki mi je bila v Minnesoti
neobhodno potrebna, in jo u-berem za drugimi potniki, ki so tudi izstopili. Kovček mi je že naprej nesel črni postrešček.
O Clevelandu sem večkrat bral, da je eno prvih industrijskih mest v Ameriki. Zato sem pričakoval, da bodo tudi druge razmere temu primerne. Toda že prvi pogled na postajo me je strašno razočaral. Postajališče, podobno umazani bajti, je bilo zakajeno in črno kakor zamorec, ki 'se nam je na vlaku
priklanjal. Kdor danes pride v Cleveland, se ne more načuditi krasni in veličastni novi stavbi, takrat pa je bil kolodvor videti kakor “škrap yard”.
Vendar pa tedaj nisem u-tegnil izgubljati časa z ogledovanjem postaje. Moja prva skrb je bila dobiti koga, ki ni mi svetoval, kam naj bi se o-brnil, da bi čim prej prišel k Sv. Vidu.
Da pa sopotniki ne bi Vedeli, da sem “grinar”, začetnik, v Clevelandu, nisem maral za pot povpraševati. Ko pa sem se naokrog oziral, sta mi prišla naproti dva moška, ki sta se mi že vnaprej v o-braz smejala. “Kaj pa, hvad-nika, ta dva vidita na meni tako smešnega?” setn si mislil in pogledal, če je obleka v redu. Ravno sem nameraval iti hitro mimo njiju, ko
me je eden izmed njiju p^i
za roko, češ: “No, kar ^ moško pa tudi ni treba 113
prej!”
Ozrl sem se in koga ge zagledal? G. župnika P011’, varja in dr. Seliškarja. njega sem že enkrat prej v, del in dasi je to bilo že 'eC; let, sem ga zaradi njeg°ve podobnosti s stricem, škofe111 Trobcem, precej spoznal. ; (Se nadaljuje)

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1980
OUR TRIP TO AUSTRALIA
By ANN J. TERČEK
Our first city was Sydney, then Canberra and Melbourne. The Slovenian population is about 25 thousand.
Sydney, the largest city of all, is very heavily populated and has many high rise hotel,^ apartments, bank and insurance buildings. Went to see fhe kangaroos and koalas at the zoo. Toured the famous Opera House and many other Points of interest.
There are two Slovenian Homes in Sydney, each having balinca courts and Slovenian Language Schools. Father Va-larian Jenko is the pastor of St. Raphael Slovenian Catholic Church.
A tree planting ceremony was held outside of the Slovenian Association Hall. A row of trees which were planted by various celebraties is to be called “THE CLEVELAND LANE”. A delicious ' rneal and refreshments followed.
From that location we were bused to another Slovenian Hall called “Triglav”, where i We enjoyed another interesting and entertaining evening.
From Sydney we flew on to Canberra, the Capitol of Australia. What a clean, unique city. In our bus tour of the city we saw many embassies, War memorials, and the House °f Parliament, where Mr. Mi-^ iigoj Lijovic, a Slovenian, is a Senator. Then we rode quite a distance to a sheep ranch where we saw what a wonder-tnl job a well trained sheep dog can do in handling large numbers of sheep. At the same location we also witnessed a I sheep shearing demonstration 1 and were taught how to throw a boomerang.
Then on we went to enjoy a huge, delicious T-bone steak with plenty of trimmings and I aU sorts of refreshments. Joe (Red) Klir took many pictures, as usual, and Tony Petkovšek did the taping. There Was plenty of joy & laughter i. as the owner played the guitar ^ and led us in community sing-
ing.
One evening, as guests of the Slovenian people we enjoyed a delicious dinner and a lovely evening at the Austrian Australian Club.
From Canberra we flew to Melbourne, here again we took a bus tours and stopped at the Jadran Slovenian Home where another delicious meal and plenty of refreshments awaited us. Their Male Chorus consisting of 22 voices sang a number of Slovenian songs for our listening pleasure. The people there enjoyed Frank Novak’s accordion music. We also had a broom dance, which was a great crowd mixer. Everyone joined in and really had a good time.
The Slovenian Church here is St. Ciril and Method. Father Basil Valentine, formerly of Lemont, 111., is the pastor.
On the day before leaving, we went to a Penguin Parade. This surely is something to see, how they come out oč' the ocean at dusk in large groups, walk right by people who stand and watch them, and continue on to their places in the bushes where they sleep for the night. In the morning they return to the water for another day of daylight.
The weather was sunny most of the time and the temperature around 70 degrees. They are now in the fall season. During our Christmas season they have their hottest weather of the year.
The rate of exchange averaged 88 cents for our U.S. dollar.
One thing still seems odd and confusing to us and that is their driving on the leff hand side of the street.
The day to depart came all too soon. While flying from New Zealand to Hawaii we crossed the International Date Line and in doing so we were given a Certificate in commemoration of an historical event.
The whole trip was beyond our expectations and was greatly enjoyed by all.

Since this newspaper tra-Vcls to many individuals in parts of the free world, and Slovenians everywhere * are interested in how we vveathercd the past winter, let it be said that it was a ^Rd one in comparison with the last two or three when we had sub zero temperatures days at a time. Our lowest was around zero several times. Although official spring has arrived a month ago, our daytime temperatures are still hovering from ai-out 40 to 55 with a lot of tain. We will be about two weeks late this year in start-tng our gardens.

For her scholastic achieve-

While in Washington, she met Congressmen Stokes, Gakar, Mottl, Vanik; Senators Glenn and Shaw, and once presidential hopeful Phil Crane.
Theresa will be attending Notre Dame College in the fall. Congratulations to you Miss Mishic, and we wish you continued success in. your scholastic endeavors!

The Slovenian Women’s Union, Branch No. 40 of Lorain, Ohio, celebrated their 50th Anniversary on Sunday, April 20th.
Festivities began with a Mass at S.S. Cyril and Methodius Church at 11:00 a.m., celebrated by Rev. Jerome Gržinčič from Rovinj, Yugoslavia. Father came from Slovenia to substitute for Rev. Paul Krajnik, who is on vacation in Argentina. The men’s and women’s choir, under the direction of Miss Mayme Pe-rusek, sang for the High Mass, and, it was beautiful.
At 12:30 brunch was served by Novotny Catering at the Slovenian Home, after which Albina Uehlein, president, conducted the program.
The other officers were introduced, • namely:	Angela
Kozjan, secretary; Mary Plo-saj, treasurer; Mary Matos, recording^ secretary; Agnes Bucher and Angeline Vojtko, auditors. Sophie. Magayna, Ohio-Michigan State President, from Branch No. 10 Cleveland, Ohio was also introduced and expressed her congratulations and good wishes.

The Slovenian class at Maple Hts. High School adult education is progressing very well thanks to the interest and enthusiasm of students such as Teresa Gorup, her cousins the Vrcek girls, the Gorenc girls, and the rest of the 30 member class.
The ages represented are from high school into the 60’s. Each course is a 10 week session and each session is 1U> hours on Monday evening. We use volumn 1 of the “Ličbenik” written by the sisters Breda Lončar and Milena Gobec. The text is excellent, very well written and serves as an exceptional vehicle for learning the Slovene language. We are completing chapter 23 and plan to continue the class next fall at which time we hope to’ complete vol. 1. There seems to be considerable interest in initiating another class for beginning Slovene.
Class begins by reading the lesson plan on the board followed by a “novice” news of interest in the Slovene community. Emphasis is then placed on learning vocabulary and the use of verbs. Secondary emphasis is on the four declensions and the many cases which I believe have to be learned as we continue the succeeding chapters. Slovene being an inflected language, There are many possible endings to nouns, but a-gain these are learned by usage and memorization.
The end of class is devoted to singing traditional Slovene songs and some new ones by Avsenik and Slak. Those members of the Euclid Button

Mrs. Angela Kozjan, secretary for 40 years, gave a resume of our 50 years which included the drill team and junior cadets.
Father Gržinčič gave an inspiring talk in Slovenian and English and surprised everybody by playing the accordion with lively folk songs, and with tile guests participating in the singing. Father is a very accomplished musician and , composer, and a Professor in Theology, Mathematics, and Physics. He is also a linguist, speaking 9 languages. We were honored and privileged to have him here to help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary, and thank him for making the program such a success.
We appreciate and thank the women who represented Branches 10, 14, 32 and 50, who attended from the Cleveland and Euclid areas. Congratulatory cards received were read, arid representatives from1 the different Lorain lodges personally gave their best wishes.
Heartfelt thanks to the committees and their husbands, the singers, speakers, and everyone who contributed their time and efforts, and to the guests who made this Golden 50th anniversary of the Slovenian Women’s Union, Branch No. 40, Lorain, Ohio such a huge success., .
Box Club are students in the class play music for us, much to the enjoyment of the class and the custodial personnel who make it a point to come to the classroom hallway, when they hear the music. Jos. Boldin, Milan Stavec and Frank Dremel are the accor-dionists^
Hetiviga (Hathie) Vrček Mussig usually leads us in the singing which includes songs such as “Lepa Si Roža Marija” plus secular songs including the Slovenian “anthem”,- the Slavic song extending back to the Pan-Slavic sentiments of 1848 in Austria-Hungary. The songs are learned for two reasons, the cultural contribution and of course' the poetry within the songs themselves.
Most of the class members have a Slovene background, usually from the Maple Hts. area and some from old Newburgh, St. Lawrence. Others are Slovak and Polish.
The “Ameriška Domovina” is used to practice transla-. tions from Slovene to English as is the “Rodna Gruda” and the magazine “Zarja”. I do encourage the reading of the A.D.; it offers much supplemental reading for the course.’
Incidentally, I attended the presentation of “Voda” by Lilija in Coilinwood and was most favorably impressed by the acting lalents of the cast. The play was most amusing.
I hope Lilija continues in that cultural direction.

We have lost two Slovenian pioneers recently, Michael Klemenčič and Marjanca Kuhar.. Mike, age 87, who passed av:ay recently was a man who did much for St. Vitus Church in his younger years — mostly gratis. He was a painter by trade but he was familiar with other work too. Although he had moved from Prosser Ave. in the late 40’s to Cleveland Heights, 1 became reacquainted with him in trie last few years at his Nicnoias Ave., Euclid, O. residence. He was a great conversationalist and I spent some,happy hours in his company. And for hospitality, you could not beat him and wife, Mary. His funeral was held April 17 at St. Vitus.
Marjanca Kuhar, 83, had also been active in her earlier years with church groups, Jodges and the Slovenian Cultural Gardens. She' had been an officer in several organizations and was President of Mary Magdalene Society No. 162, K.S.K.J. for 28 years. In the thirties, Mrs. Kuhar received special recognition from the Yugoslav Government for her fraternal and cultural work here in Cleveland. Services for Mrs. Kuhar were.held at St. Vitus on April 2.
Other funerals from St. Vitus are as follows:
Lottie Gorski, age 80, Mar. 31 John Rudolph, 64, April 5 Ivan Plečnik, 90, April 7 Frank Grozde, 64, April 8 Mary Boštjančič (nee Stre-kal), age 71, April 21 Frank Okicki, 71, April 23 To the families of the above deceased and also to other Slovenians who have lost -loved ones in other localities, we express our deepest sympathy. May the Lord grant them the eternal happiness
for whicn they were created.

Let Your Wish Become a Prayer
Put your dearest wish in God’s hands today And discuss it with Him as you faithfully pray,
And you can be sure your wish will come true.
If god feels that your wish will be good for you,
For there’s no problem too big and no question too small,
Just ask God in Faith and He’ll answer them all — Not always at once, so be patient and wait for “God never comes too soon or too late” —
So trust in His Wisdom and believe in His Word For no prayer’s unanswered and no prayer unheard.

TWO BOOKS
A review by John P. Nielsen, Ph.D.
(Because of its length this review of two books will be published in several installments.)
(Continued)
The book is quite readable (in Slovenian throughout), but it is unfortunate that no table of contents is given, as the chapters are not necessarily sequential in time, and furthermore, they are, really not chapters, but Individual articles. Abbreviations of organizations abound, yet there is no list of abbreviations used.
The photographs for the most part are excellent, and well reproduced. But here again an index would have been most helpful. I found myself looking for a photograph I recalled seeing in the book and leafing page by page until I found it. The book jacket is of a painting of the Cleveland Flats by Božidar Jakac.
The single most serious weakness is that the book was published posthumously, and there is a closing section, by presumably an editor of Mladinska Knjiga, about how the book was published after Vat-ro Grill’s death. Yet no date is given of his death, or how, or where he died. Also, the frontispiece should have carried Božidar Jakac’s portrait of Vatro Grill, which is referred to in the book.
The book is expensive, at $38.00 a copy. The explanation is that Slovenian books are published in small numbers, and the writing off of the printing cost must be borne by the few books that are published. Anne Grill hopes that the price will be reduced when it arrives in the States.
There are three classes of potential readers in America.
The Slovenians of the St. Clair area who immigrated here many years ago and still read Slovenian and are in their 70’s and 80’s, and at a high price they are unlikely to buy the book. The second and later generation Slovenians generally do not read Slovenian, and so they are unlikely to buy the book. The immigrants since World War II can read the book but it is not of great interest to them.
However, every ethnic library in the United States should have a copy, and every Slovenian organization should have one, if not several, copies. All the large libraries in American cities should have it. It is an important book of a segment of history of a certain immigrant group in Ame- r_ rica.	\fP~
Molek’s book, in spite of a number of similarities to that of Grill’s is, in one respect, markedly different. It is written with meticulous care to indicate references to original sources. It is profuse with footnotes and annotations.
Mary Molek, Ivan Molek’s wife, translated the book from her husband’s Slovenian version. She had been a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago but she never wrote her thesis. This could very ^ well have been it. At any rate ^ it is written thesis style. This ^ has value for historical pur-poses and one hopes that the ^ immigrant phase of America’s ^ development will attract scho- im-
material that Ivan Molek had accumulated over the years useful to historians has been deposited with the Immigration Research History Center of the University of Minnesota.
Whereas Grill merely wanted to tell his story, lavish credit on numerous people who served in the Cleveland Slovene scene, and perhaps settle some old scores, Molek’s main purpose wras to get the record straight that he is not a nonperson in the Chicago and SNPJ scerie, having lost his editorship of Prosveta after some 28 years on ideological grounds, with Prosveta since then scrupulously avoiding reference to the Molek editorial period.
The book, like Grill’s, begins in the setting of the youthful Molek in a small town in southern .Slovenia, Metlika. The crucible that made Molek the alloy he became appears to be three “uncles” or “strici”, as was the custom to call all male adults w'ho took a guiding interest in a young Slovenian lad.
One of these uncles gave him books, another was a great story teller, and the third was a socialist who inculcated certain ideas into Molek’s thoughts. From this background emerged the budding scholar, writer, editor, and socialist propagandist after his immigration to the U.S.
His parents had not gone to school and thus were illiterate, and they did not particularly encourage him in his four-year grammar school education and apprenticeship as a vineyard horticulturist. This, plus the loss of a girl friend, the loss of a government job in a vineyard, and perhaps the impending military service in the Austrian army precipitated a decision to go to America, where so many from his town and from nearby towns had gone before.
It was an escape to something potentially exciting. All one needed was the fare to get to an address in the States as a link to get started. A certain boyhood 'friend, a P’rank Zavrshnik in Steelton, Pennsylvania, was all the address link he had. He got the trip money somehow and sure enough he found his friend and in due course found work as a helper in a steel mill.
In those days immigrants were attracted to factory districts, steel mills, and mines like flies around honey to get the jobs that paid them salaries, meager though they were, but still a good cut above those back in Slovenia.
Work was not always eas} to get as the flow of imiP' grants often seemed to satu-rate the hiring market. Bi11 one found a measure of s£' curity in hugging close to immigrant communities, frC' quently with a group from 3 certain town staying close together.
Molek was somewhat more venturesome than most ai^ soon wrangled enough mone) to move on to another toM1 with better hiring prospects^ and again with one name aP* address as the link. This tiiU he went to a relative in Cal'-1' met, Michigan, a copper mi'1' ing town whose principal eU' ployer was the Hecla ad Calumet Company.
In Calumet Molek definite!) fared better. The immigrant were relatively prosperoU11 compared to those of Steel' ton. One of the major depad ment stores, for example, evas owned by a Slovenian, aa^ furthermore there were aboi'i 15,000 Slovenians in the vici' nity.
But two new urges sod1 emerged. Molek had some suc' cess in seeing his articles in print in Slovenia, and also 111 America, in the Glas Naroda newspaper, published in NevV York. He became acquainted with the editof of the local Slovenian newspaper, called Glasnik! It was not long be' fore he found employment with Glasnik. He felt it an opportunity to write agai'd the mine owners who wcfe’ in his anticapitalistic vie"" point, exploiting the worked-
Molek had been injured in his first mine job and vowed never to go into laborh'S work again. At any rate be published in this vein, and on occasion wrote anticlerD-d pieces. A priest back in Sl°' venia had forbidden him t0 read certain newspapers a"-this constraint on his freedom1 to learn soured him against the priest and, hence, t!'e Catholic Church. The anti' Clerical pieces he wrote rn one occasion led to an unf"'"' tunate incident, indeed, almost a lynching, in a churoA when he was summoned 10 repeat his charge in a publU forum.
