Reaganova vlada zavrnila pogoje skrajnežev v Libanonu za izpustitev ameriških talcev -Jesse Jackson si bo prizadeval v njih prid
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je Reaganova administracija uradno zavrnila Pogoje za izpustitev šestih Amerikancev, ki so jih ugrabili muslimanski skrajneži v Libanonu. Muslimanska skupina Džihad Islami (muslimanska sveta vojna) je namreč zahtevala, naj ZDA pristiskajo na Kuvajt, da bi ta država izpustila 17 oseb, obsojenih zaradi terorističnih napadov v Kuvejtu. Objavljene so bile tudi slike, ki kažejo šest ugrabljenih Amerikancev, med katerimi je tudi 50-letni katoliški duhovnik iz Jolieta, Illinois Rev. Lawrence Jenko. Rev. Jenkovi svojci so dejali, da je po večmesečnem ujetništvu Rev. Jenko videti zelo oslabljen.
Svojci nekaterih ugrabljenih Amerikancev so se obrnili na črnskega voditelja in bivšega demokratskega predsedniškega kandidata Rev. Jesseja Jacksona, naj on igra posredovalno vlogo. Jackson je privolil, State Department pa je izjavil, da ne nasprotuje takšnemu posredovanju. Lani je Jackson Posredoval pri Sirijcih in dosegel izpustitev ameriškega mornariškega pilota Lt. Roberta Goodmana, katerega bojno letalo je bilo sestreljeno nad Libanonom.
Jackson poudarja, da ne more obljubiti UsPeha. V primeru Lt. Goodmana je Jackson vedel, da bo imel odločilno besedo sirijski predsednik Assad. V zvezi z ameriškimi talci v Libanonu pa nima pojma, s kom naj bi se pogajal oziroma pogovoril, je pojasnil Jackson. Po potrebi, je pripravljen potovati v Libanon, Kuvejt, celo Teheran, je dejal Rev. Jackson.
Reagan sprejel El Salvadorskega predsednika Duarteja — Kampanja zoper gverilce uspeva — El Salvador želi več podpore
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je Predsednik Reagan sprejel v Beli hiši pred-Sednika El Salvadorja Joseja Napoleona Duarteja. Duarte je na uradnem obisku v ^Da. Po srečanju je Bela hiša objavila izja-v°> v kateri je Reagan hvalil uspehe Duarte-Jeve administracije in še posebej uspehe ^salvadorskih sil zoper gverilce. Reagan je tu<ii izrazil svoje zadovoljstvo z demokrati-Zacijo političnega sistema v El Salvadorju.
El Salvador lahko služi kot primer osta-'ut državam Latinske Amerike in še posebno ‘N'karagvi, kjer sandinistični režim ni dovolil Sv°bodnih volitev in tudi niprijateljsko razpoložen do sosednih držav.
V svoji izjavi je Duarte podprl Reaga-jtovo embargo zoper Nikaragvo in tudi bil ftiČen do odločitve ameriškega kongresa, 1 je zavrnil Reaganov predlog za odobritev . milijonov dolarjev podpore protisandini-st'čnirn gverilcem. Ta kongresni ukrep lahko Prispeva k povečanju nikaragveške podpore Protivladnim silam v El Salvadorju, je dejal Dttarte.

deva senatni načrt, ki ima tudi Reaganovo podporo. V svojem načrtu odklonijo demokrati vsakršno omejitev rasti Social Security pokojnin, ki jo sedaj veljavni zakon določa. Republikanci so v svojem načrtu predlagali, naj bi ne bilo v 1. 1986 nobenega povišanja Social Security pokojnin. Prihodnji teden bo o demokratski verziji glasoval spodnji dom, pričakovati pa je, da bo odobren, ker imajo demokrati veliko večino.
Sledila bodo pogajanja med predstavniki obeh domov, katerih namen bo uskladiti oba proračunska načrta. Šele nato bosta o istem načrtu glasovala oba domova. Ako ga bosta odobrila, bo poslan predsedniku Reaganu v podpis in potrditev. Ta proces pa utegne biti dolgotrajen in naporen, pravijo opazovalci razmer na kapitolskem hribu.
Sovjetska zveza napovedala »vojno« zoper alkoholizem — V ZSSR baje do 40 milijonov alkoholikov — Negativne socialne posledice
MOSKVA, ZSSR — Včeraj je ZSSR podvzela vrsto ukrepov, katerih namen je kljubovati alkoholizmu. Ukrepi določajo, da se bo prodaja žgane pijače začela šele po 2. uri pop. in ne več po 11. uri, proizvodnja alkoholnih pijač bo znižana, sovjetski državljan bo moral imeti 21 in ne več le 18 let, da kupi in pije žgano pijačo. Sovjeti so namreč ugotovili, da utrpijo zelo negativne socialne in gospodarske posledica zaradi rastočega alkoholizma. V državi, ki ima 277 milijonov prebivalcev,'naj bi jih bilo kar 40 milijonov, ki so alkoholiki. Gospodarstvo trpi zaradi velike odsotnosti od dela, pijani delavci pa imajo nizko storilnost. Socialno pripisujejo Sovjeti pijanosti več kot 75% vseh umorov in 80% vseh ropov.
Opazovalci sovjetskih razmer menijo, da je nova kampanja pobuda Mihaila S. Gorbačova, ki je že ponovno govoril o potrebi za učinkovitejše gospodarjenje in za povečanje storilnost dela.
- Kratke vesti -
Boston, Mass. — Danes zjutraj so začeli
štrajkati piloti letalske družbe United, največjega potniškega letalskega prevoznika v ZDA. United bo menda obdržala nekaj pro-gov, vendar morajo biti potniki zelo previdni. Piloti štrajkajo zaradi načrta United, po katerem bi dobivali manjšo plačo novi piloti. Na ta način naj bi si United tekom časa prihranil več milijonov dolarjev.
Beograd, SFRJ — V aprilu je letna inflacijska stopnja v Jugoslaviji prvič dosegla raven 80 odstotkov. Na nedavni seji centralnega komiteja Zveze komunistov pa so načrtovali kampanjo zoper nevzdržno visoko inflacijo.
Philadelphia, Pa. — Reševalci so našli 11 trupel v hiši, ki je pogorela do tal pretekli ponedeljek potem, ko so policisti eksplodirali bombo, katere namen je bil uničiti bunker na zgornjem delu hiše. V hiši so se bili zabarikadirali člani neke skupine z imenom MOVE. Policija jih je hotela izseliti iz hiše, ker so člani Move ustrahovali okolico. Prišlo je do obsežnega streljanja in so se policisti odločili kar za bombni napad. V požaru, ki je nepričakovano nastal, je pogorelo kar več kot 60 hiš. Človeških žrtev pa razen 11 članov Move, ni bilo.
Tokio, Ja. — Japonci poročajo, da je
nenadno izginilo iz radarskih ekran sovjetsko letalo in sicer nad vodami vzhodno od sovjetskega otoka Sahalin. Menijo, da gre za nesrečo. ZSSR o nesreči še ni poročala.

Slovensko domobranstvo
(Nadaljevanje)
(Ta članek izraža osebno prepričanje avtorja samega. Vloga, ki so jo igrale v sodobni slovenski zgodovini gen. Rupnik in druge vplivne osebnosti, še ni v celoti pojasnjena in ocenjena, vsaj objektivno ne. Spominjam se pomenka l. 1967 s sedaj pokojnim Metodom Mikužem v njegovi pisarni v Filozofski fakulteti na Aškerčevi ulici v Ljubljani. Takrat sem se zanimal predvsem za slovensko politično zgodovino v letih 1918-1929, Mikuž pa je bil kot prof. zgodovine na ljubljanski univerzi odgovoren za to obdobje. Govorila sva o tem in onem, Mikuž pa je na koncu dejal, da se zanima za moje mnenje kljub temu, da je zgodovina (marksistična oz. komunistična) to desetletje že dokončno ocenila. Nisem takrat in tudi danes se ni strinjam, da je kdaj mogoče kakšno obdobje človeške zgodovine, ali kakšno zgodovinsko osebnost, enostavno izključiti iz nadaljnjega raziskovanja in ocenjevanja ter o njem oz. njej trditi, da »sedaj že vse vemo«, da sedaj imamo na razpolago vso potrebno dokumentacijo, ki bo dokončno potrdila to ali drugačno zgodovinsko razlago ali oceno. Želim, da bi braki to urednikovo stališče razumeli, ko prebirajo ta in druge članke, ki izražajo mnenja, s katerimi morda ne soglašajo atijih enostavno zavračajo. Ur.)
Rajnki predsednik Slovenskega narodnega odbora Miloš Stare je — kot smo omenili v prejšnjem odlomku tega pisanja — po zlomu Italije jeseni I. 1943 osebno sodeloval pri prvih korakih za ustanovitev posebnih »policijskih čet« pod slovenskim vodstvom in je pozneje bil živo interesiran na razvoju in akcijah domobranstva, ki se je razvilo iz te zamisli. Kar poroča, izvira iz lastnih opazovanj in izkušenj ter je zatorej stvarno in objektivno resnično.
Takole opisuje Stare svoje razglabljanje o domobrancih, njihovi miselnosti, njihovem stališču do Nemcev in njihovem vodstvu:
»Pripadniki slovenskega domobranstva so se borili proti komunizmu in so verovali v zmago zapadnih zaveznikov in v propad nacistične Nemčije. Niti v častniškem zboru, v katerem je bilo več odličnih aktivnih častnikov, niti pri moštvu ni bilo sledov simpatij za Hitlerjevo Nemčijo. Domobranci so tudi z navdušenjem skrivali ameriške pilote in se ilegalno povezovali ter pripravljali za končni cilj: skupna borba z zapadnimi zavezniki proti skupnemu sovražniku nacizmu in fašizmu. Večina domobrancev je cenila delo demokratičnih političnih strank v domovini in predstavnikov v inozemstvu.«
»Miselnost generala Rupnika in njegove okolice pa je bila drugačna.«
»Tisti, ki so poznali generala Rupnika od mladih let, vedo, da je visoko cenil Nemce predvsem zaradi njihovega izrednega vojaškega duha. Zato so smatrali za logično posledico marsi-kak njegov korak, ki ga je storil pod neposrednim vplivom nemške udarnosti. Ko so se formirale prve domobranske edini-ce, je predlagal, da bi šle na vežbanje v Nemčijo in da bi položile prisego. Polkovnik Krener (vrhovni poveljnik domobrancev, op. pis.) se je temu uprl in utemeljeval, da obstoji nevarnost,
Toda tisoči in tisoči so se rešili v begunstvo. Še tam niso bili varni. Iz Avstrije so Angleži nasilno in zvijačno vrnili v Jugoslavijo razorožene vojake - domobrance in četnike, ki so se med okupacijo in komunistično revolucijo z orožjem uprli komunističnim nasiljem. Množični grobovi teh so zgodovinske priče tragičnih posledic komunistične »osvoboditve«.
O vsem tem še svobodni svet molči, molči 40 let, da zatiši svojo vest, morda bo svet le pozabil na sokrivdo. Beremo in slišimo govore samo o »holocaustu«, žrtvah nemških koncentracijskih taborišč in še to samo, kot da so tam trpeli samo eni. A tam so umirali tudi Slovenci, Srbi, Poljaki. O »holocaustu« po končani vojni, ko so komunisti množično pobijali svoje lastne rojake, pa še svetovna javnost noče ničesar vedeti.
Politične emigracije v svobodnem svetu vztrajno pišejo in zbirajo dokumente, kaj seje v njih deželah dogajalo po »osvoboditvi«. Tudi Slovenci imamo vse zbrano in mnogo natiskanih knjig dokumentov in pričevanj o medvojnem dogajanju in takoj po vojni. Komunističnim oblastem gre to silno na živce. A nekdo v domovini je rekel: »To še boste prenesli, a gorje, kadar bodo spregovorili mrtvi!« Glas mrtvih že sili na dan v domovini, mladina zahteva resnico!
V nedeljo, 26. maja, bomo v spomin na 40-letnico tragičnih
da Nemci domobrancev ne bodo več vrnili, ampak jih bodo poslali na fronto; prisega pa je nepotrebna, ker so domobranci prostovoljci za borbo proti komunizmu.«
»Res je general Rupnik dosledno in vse življenje sovražil komunizem. Bil pa je skrajno nerazpoložen do Anglosakson-cev... Odklanjal je tudi politične stranke in preziral njih delo. O politikih na splošno se je na javnih zborovanjih izražal tako ostro in z izrazi, ki niso bili v skladu z njegovim dostojanstvom (kot prezidentom Ljubljanske pokrajne, op. pis.). Rupnikovo miselnost so nekateri mlajši v njegovi okolici izrabljali v to smer, da uničijo tradicionalne slovenske politične stranke. V osvobodilni fronti pa so si to prizadevali komunisti.«
»General Rupnik je v letu 1 945, ko je šlo Nemcem na frontah slabo, prepričeval svojo okolico, da bodo Nemci kmalu nastopili z novim orožjem in se jim bo položaj izboljšal... Prisega, ki so jo morali položiti domobranci, je bila sramoten udarec za Slovence in ponižanje za domobrance. Ni še ovržena trditev, da je bila ta prisega ideja gen. Rupnika samega, gotovo pa je, da jo je podpiral s svojo avtoriteto.«
»Trdijo, da je gen. Rupnik v begunstvu v Italiji priznal in obžaloval, da je pri svojem delu računal na nemško zmago.«
»Tragično disharmonijo med domobranci in Rupnikom je povečalo tudi stališče okupatorja do komunistov. Nerazumljivo je bilo, zakaj 1 3.000 borbenih in junaških domobrancev ni napadlo in uničilo črnomeljske komunistične republike. (Ta del slovenske zemlje leži v Beli Krajini, katero loči od ostale Slovenije pogorje Gorjancev, op. pis.) Ključ razjasnitve tega dejstva je izjava nemškega polkovnika Branda, ki je pripadal najožjemu Hitlerjevemu krogu. Novembra 1943 je o razmerju med partizani in Nemci poudaril: ,,Nacionalni Slovenci se motijo, če mislijo, da bomo pobijali partizanstvo in komunizem v Slovenji. To ni v našem interesu." (Za to izjavo sem (Stare) zvedel od generalštabnega polkovnika Vauhnika.« (Ta je bil jugoslovanski vojaški ataše pri ambasadi v Berlinu, op. pis.)
Naj dodam iz svojega, da je bil Vauhnik nedvomno najboljši poznavalec načrtov nacistične Nemčije. V svojih spominih (ki so izšli v književni obliki v Buenos Airesu) je zapisal, da bi v primeru zmage nacizma slovenski narod prenehal obstajati. To lahko potrdim tudi jaz sem, ki sem v Munchnu na svojem študijskem potovanju po Evropi I. 1 937 videl na lastne oči mapo, na kateri je bila Slovenija zarisana kot del nemškega Rajha.

CLEVELAND, O. — Pred nekaj dnevi, 8. maja, so ameriški časopisi z velikimi naslovi na prvih straneh oznanjali 40-letnico konca 11. svetovne vojne. »Topovi v Evropi so utihnili« je bila pred 40 leti za ves svet radostna novica. Po mestnih ulicah v Londonu, Parizu, New Yorku so se valile množice ljudi, ki so kot ponorele od veselja plesale in skakale ter na vse načine izražale veselje, da je vojne konec.
Tako je bilo na zahodu — v svobodnem svetu. Toda na pol Evrope je istočasno padla strahota, hujša od vojne same. Takrat se je v resnici začelo bratomorstvo v takšnem obsegu, da je po grozodejstvih in brezpravju presegel grozote vojne.
Vse države, ki so takrat padle pod komunistično oblast, vedo za svoje žrtve, za svoje trpljenje, Slovenci, in drugi jugoslovanski narodi smo najbrž utrpeli najhujše. Prav na slovenskem ozemlju se je zgnetla vsa tragika konca vojne. Ko so komunisti s pomočjo sovjetske armade in pristankom zahodnih zaveznikov ob koncu vojske prevzeli oblast, je tam po »osvoboditvi« več mesecev vladalo popolno brezpravno stanje z načrtnim namenom, da se komunistične oblasti v takšni zmedi in strahu iznebijo vseh svojih nasprotnikov. Glavne so hitro zaprli in so za vedno izginili, hlapec je ubil kmeta, da prevzame njegovo kmetijo, hčerka očeta, sestra bratca, delavec tovarnarja.
dogodkov ob koncu vojne obhajali SLOVENSKI SPOMINSKI DAN v katedrali sv. Janeza — St. John’s Cathedral — v Clevelandu. Vso spominsko svečanost prirejamo Slovenci, a bo pri tem močno izpričana tudi solidarnost vseh narodnosti, ki jih je prizadela ista usoda.
Ob 3. uri popoldne bo v katedrali darovana sv. maša. Glavni maševalec in pridigal bo prevzv. škof dr. Edwarc Pevec, somaševali bodo župni ki in duhovniki slovenski! župnij ter nekaj duhovnike' drugih narodnosti. Sv. maši bo v slovenščini, pridiga angleščini.
Zbirališče za procesijo b< ob 2.15 uri na dvorišču z; katedralo na oglu 12. ceste h Superior Ave. Tam se naj zbe rejo veterani, častni gostje narodne noše, organiziram skupine z zastavami, če j*l' imajo. Ob 2.45 se bo procesija začela pomikati v cerkev. ^ slučaju slabega vremena naj vsi pridejo v cerkev, kjer bodo takoj pri vhodu reditelji dajali navodila, kam naj gredo. Za udeležence v procesiji so rezervirani sedeži. Pri vhodu v cerkev bodo reditelji delili tudi za to priložnost pripravljene mašne knjižnice in posebne značke.

k°nCana51. deželi Pa noče biti °jske. io. marca so za-
čeli še z bombardiranjem mest. Okrog naše postojanke so bombe padale čisto blizu, 150 do 300 metrov proč; in to isti dan. Razbile so nam stekla na oknih in seveda povzročile strah... Tri tedne smo imeli vsak dan alarme in trepetanje, kdaj bodo zagnali kakšno bombo na naše glave. Zdaj imamo že cel teden spet mir. Obljubljajo pa, da nas bodo ponovno obiskali. Ni druge pomoči, kot da smo vedno pripravljeni na Gospodov prihod. Šola ni prekinjena. Naše notranje gojenke so kar pridne in se dobro učijo, hvala Bogu.
Dolgo časa nimam pošte od Mari Celestina. Brala sem v MSIP v AD, da je umrla ena mojih sošolk, ki je prijateljica od Mari, gosta Rus - Kuznecov. Nona so ji rekli »Jovan-ka«. Hudo bolezen je imela, raka. Bog ji daj večni pokoj!
Sprejmite vsi misijonski prijatelji lepe velikonočne pozdrave od Vaše hvaležne s. Cecilije Rode, hčere krščanske ljubezni.«
Predsednica ga. Gizella Hozianova
je poslala poročilo o financah odseka MZA Chicago za preteklo leto 1984. Odsek je pripravil za nedeljo 21. aprila prodajo domačega peciva (bake sale) v farni dvorani pri Sv. Štefanu, Chicago. Vodila je vse priprave gospa Rusova, ki je s svojim možem zelo vneta za misijone. Seveda, pomagali so tudi ostali. Bog daj, da bi božji blagoslov ne izostal. Vse lepo pozdravlja.
MZA New York je obnovila enoletno vzdrževalnino za njihovega vzdrževanca - bogoslovca v misijonih z 250 dolarji.
Ga. Ljudmila Lekan v Clevelandu je darovala za misijone $30 in ga. Josephine Stanič je istotam žrtvovala $10.
Bogoslovec Peter Fosu iz St. Peter’s Seminary v Cape Coast, Ghana, je prosil svoji dobrotnici za dve teološki knjigi. Ge. Leskovec in Pia-necki sta o tem obveščeni.

V BLAG SPOMIN
DEVETINDVAJSETE OBLETNICE SMRTI našega ata in starega ata
Thomas Postotnik
Svojo blago dušo je izdihnil dne 21. maja 1956.
Prelepi majski cvet se zopet nam odpira, spomin nekdanjih let pa potok solz utira.
Kako boli spomin grenak te trde zemeljske ločitve, tolaži pa nas up sladak, po smrti večne se združitve.
Žalujoči ostali:

stanovitnost. Sestra Theresa skrbi za invalidno sosestro.
Sestra Jeanne Elizabeth si je drugič zlomila nogo in je že več tednov v bolnici.
O. Miha Drevenšek 1. aprila v okrožnici obdeluje svoj delokrog. Živi sedaj v St. Joseph’s Mission, P.O. Box 260155, Kalulushi, Zambia. Misijon je 30 km od rudniškega mesteca Kitve, kjer je bilo leta 1977 njegovo prvo službeno mesto. Pravi, da so ceste v okolici slabe. Nato nadaljuje: »Naša skupnost je sicer precej velika. 20 članov je pri hiši ta čas. Predstojnik o. Jože je Italijan po narodnosti. Imajo 17 po-stulantov - semeniščnikov ter midva s p. Ernestom Benkom. Ernest je rektor semenišča. Potem so sestre, ki vodijo šolo za gluhoneme in bolnišnico. Tukaj je tudi osnovna šola s približno 800 učenci. Končati bi morali tudi srednjo šolo; za začetek samo prva dva letnika. Naša stara poslopja, v katerih je nekdaj bila obrtna šola, bi morala biti preurejena. Tako bi otrokom tukaj lahko vsaj malo pomagali do višje izobrazbe, ki je sedaj še zelo osnovna.
Zgraditi bomo morali
novo semenišče, ker staro je premajhno in prostori za vzgojo neprimerni. Načrt nam je zopet naredil stari misijonski prijatelj Ljubljančan Jože Biščak. Bog lonaj! Prošenj za vstop je ogromno, prostora pa samo za 20. Tako vidite, sem postal sedaj še gradbenik. Če bo kdo imel v žepu malo več, naj nam pri tem pomaga. Imam veliko dobre volje, a zelo raztrgan žep. Stara poslopja, narejena iz peščene opeke že podiramo. Tudi precej nove opeke smo že sami naredili. Je pa pri nas draginja za vse velika in še materiala primanjkuje. Delamo pa vseeno naprej. Brez šol duhovnih voditeljev zambijsko ljudstvo ne bo imelo svetle bodočnosti.
Dolžnosti imam poskrbeti tudi za obnovo okrog 8000-članske Frančiškove družine, katere člani so raztreseni po celi Zambiji. Tako sem veliko sobot in nedelj na potu po raznih župnijah. Brezposelnost je velika. Šol je absolutno premalo. Dokaj mladih za kratek čas pohajkuje po cestih in ob mamilih, prijači in lahkem življenju počasi izgubljajo zaupanje v starejši rod, ki jih najraje kritizira in ne najde časa, da bi odgovarjali na njihova vpraša-
nja: »Zakaj, kako, počemu, kje je za nas kakšna služba?« To delo z mladimi me zelo veseli, da bi le časa bilo malo več!«
Kanosijanka s. Anica Miklavčič
piše 18. marca iz Hong Konga in prilaga nekaj znamk iz kitajske celine, ki smo jo tudi slovenski lazaristi in drugi misijonarji ter misijonarke pred 34 leti morali zapustiti. Za Veliko noč so pripravljali v Kong Kongu po vseh župnijah lepo število krstov. Vsaj tisoč je bilo v pripravi že lep čas. Cerkev deluje v svobodi, četudi obetajo za leto 1997, da bo mesto priključeno Rdeči Kitajski. S. Miklavčič seveda še vedno upa, da se bo mogla vrniti na Kitajsko, kadar bo »nebeška Mati odprla vrata vanjo«. Goreče moli za to. Nato nadaljuje:
»Prav te dni nas je razveselila lepa novica, da Kitajska vlada iz Pekinga vabi našega škofa msgr. Wu-ja v Peking, da se pogovorijo o zadevi ločene Cerkve. Časopisi so že objavili, da je to prvič, ko Kitajska vabi Rim v osebi katoliškega škofa za razgovor.
Škof je izdal vsem katoličanom v mestu Hong Kong, ki jih je 270.000, gorečo prošnjo, naj molijo v ta namen, da bi bila to prva stopnja do zedinjenja; naj bi bili vsi zares most, ki bi družil Cerkev. Škof Wu bo potoval v Peking 25. marca, spremljan od štirih duhovnikov in laikov. Škof pravi: ,, Veliko sem molil in mislil, ko sem prejel to povabilo. Molite za dober uspeh.“
Če bo naša molitev uslišana, se bodo tudi meni odprla vrata nazaj na Kitajsko. To je moja edina želja sedaj — umreti na Kitajskem.
Letos praznujemo kanosi-janke 125-letnico naših misijonov, ki so se pričeli 1860. leta, s prihodom 4 naših sestra. Odprle so našo prvo šolo za Kitajce. Sedaj imamo teh šol vsaj 20. Od tu smo odšle v vse konce sveta na Vzhodu.
Lepo pozdravlja vse v MZA Vaša sestra Anica.«
Iz Montereya piše g. Slavko Oven, da prilaga nekaj čekov, ki so sad misijonskega pisma rojakom. Gospodični Angela Čebašek in Fani Kranjc sta poslali iz San Francisca vsaka po $100 in $10 za tiskovni sklad KM. Družina Karla in (dalje na str. 4)

Vzdrževanje domačih bogoslovcev
MZA skrbno in stalno nadaljuje. Na praznik Brezmadežne 8. decembra 1984 so bili posvečeni štirje kandidatje v škofiji Kakamega v Keniji: novomašnika Simona Matse-khe je vzdrževal dobrotnik g. Štefan Novak z gospo Ano iz Scarborough, Ontario; g. Petra Nyaki je bil podpiran od zveste zakonske dvojice iz
Connecticuta v ZD; g. Gasper Masawe je dosegel milost oltarja, ko je njegov dobrotnik, pokojni g. Janez Mrzlikar že odšel v Clevelandu po plačilo v večnost, in g. Frederika Odi-kor je podpirala ga. Antonija Slokar iz Independence, Ohio, ki je poslala pomoč zanj po g. župniku g. Antonu Rebolu od Sv. Lovrenca v Clevelandu.
Vsi štirje so bili po njihovem škofu Sulumeti že nastavljeni na fare.
Vsem štirim dobrotnikom smo razposlali pisma novo-mašnikov z njihovo fotografijo.
V isti škofiji MZA dobrotniki vzdržujejo že leta vrsto drugih kandidatov z 250 ZD dolarji letno za vsakega vzdrže-vanca.
Tragično je v motociklistični nesreči na mestu umrl 46-letni g. Agapitus Musee, ki je bil or-diniran leta 1968. Naj počiva v miru! Nam naj bo taka nesreča v opomin, da vozimo previdno,, ko smo toliko na cestah.

Ta Slovenski spominski dan bo dan žalostnih spominov, posvečen slovenskim žrtvam. A z njim bomo Slovenci opozorili tudi ameriško javnost na slovenski »holocaust«. Solidarnost z nami bodo izpričale tudi druge narodnosti, a katedrala naj ta dan diha slovensko.

Many people are familiar with historic preservation, where landmark buildings are identified and often restored, it Cleveland’s Slovenian neighborhoods, such efforts Provide one of the chief means °f visibly preserving local history.
Another important type of historic preservation is the sav-'n8 of documents, Photographs and publications relating to the history of a city, neighborhood or nationality. Such material, properly Preserved in an archives or ibrary, provides the basis for a sound understanding of the Past and, quite often, the cor-[®ct reconstruction of a uilding or a neighborhood.
The preservation of ntanuscripts, photographs and Publications relating to the ■story of northeastern Ohio as been the primary concern the Western Reserve ■storical Society since 1867. °day, the Society’s new ■story Library, which open-^ 'ast fall, houses over b.000,000 manuscript items, ^MOO books, 25,000 flumes of newspapers and 0,000 photographs, ludents, scholars, S^iealogists and visitors from r°ughout the country and around the world come to s '■dy the Society’s collections.
I	mPortant among these col-tect'ons are materials relating 0 'he history of Cleveland’s °Venians and their e'ghborhoods.
Slovenian-American te'VsPapers, photographs, let-d/ki’- record books and Lib 'cations in the History tj raiT show the contribu-ns °f Slovenians to the
history of the greater Cleveland area — all the way back to 1848. The Society has made a special effort to locate and preserve local Slovenian materials to prevent their loss or destruction.
The History Library holds runs of newspapers such as Ameriška Domovina, Clevelandska Amerika, Enakopravnost and Glas SDZ; the papers of individuals such as Frank Cesen, Joseph Nemanich, Janko Rogelj, Jake Strekal and Ivan Zorman; early polka recordings by Louis Spehek, Frank Yankovic, Johnny Pecon and the Vadnals; and record books from KSKJ, SNPJ and musical and cultural groups including one < of the first Cleveland lodges, Društvo Slovenija, from the 1890s.
While the Society has preserved much material relating to Cleveland’s Slovenians, its collections are far from complete. Much more is needed to finish the picture. Personal and family papers (letters, diaries, photographs and scrapbooks), the records of fraternal organizations and businesses (minute books, ledgers, correspondence and photographs), and individual publications (programs, pamphlets, and issues of Slovenian newspapers) are all being sought by the Society. Too often materials like these have been thrown away during housecleaning or moving. Whole histories of groups and families can be lost forever this way.
The Western Reserve Historical Society hopes members of the Slovenian community will assist in our efforts to preserve
historic records. All collections receive the best care possible by trained professionals in a climate-controlled and fireproof building. Visitors can study the collections in spacious comfort.
Your help is important. The Society’s staff can seek out items, but others go unnoticed unless brought to our attentions. If you have or know of any collections pertaining to Cleveland or local Slovenian history, please call John Grabowski, the Society’s Associate Curator of Manuscripts, at 721-5722 (daytime) or Joe Valencie, Slovenian Archives Consultant, at 481-1439 (evenings). John and Joe, both of Slovenian heritage, will be happy to review any materials you have and answer any questions about the Society’s work in Cleveland Slovenian history.

Add onion; cook 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally; keep warm.
3.	When pork rolls are done, cool slightly until easy to handle. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix marmalade and horseradish. Carefully remove casings from pork rolls; arrange rolls in 13” by 9” baking pan. Bake pork rolls 20 minutes, brushing occasionally with marmalade mixture.
4.	To serve, cut pork roll into slices. Sprinkle potatoes with salt to taste. Arrange potatoes and pork rolls on warm large platter. Garnish with watercress sprigs. Makes 12 servings. 890 calories per serving.

55 Years Since 1st Slov. Passion Play
by Dan J. Poslotnik
(This account of the Passion Pl°y was written in Slovenian by Mr. John Skrabec and was translated into English by Dan J- Postotnik.
°alni Sunday this year marked 55 years since the 8reat drama of Christ’s suffer-ln8 and death on the cross was Presented for the first time at e Slovenian National Home St- Clair Ave., Cleveland, 'o. under the auspices of 2 r’st rbe King Lodge, No. .26’ K.S.K.J. The author of ms drama was noted Slove-p'an Playwright and author ev‘ Francis S. Finžgar.
The impetus for this tremen-e .U^ “Pderraking was furnish-f y the late Louis Oblak, r,rnier businessman on St. ] thnlr ^ve-’ who in his bir-ace Sv. Gregor, Slovenia,

Xdingstaeath is a v°ry 8e Presentation.
Louis Oblak was chosen as the director, and he had a very lucky hand in the distribution of parts. Probably 99 percent of the actors never before apeared on stage, from the youngsters to the elderly. They came from all four Slovenian parishes of Cleveland. We rode to rehearsals with streetcars.
Mr. Oblak, besides his great responsibilities as director, also took upon himself the main exacting role of Jesus Christ, in the original presentation and also a year later when it was repeated in 1931.
This drama required 130 individuals. In many instances, entire families had parts. Let me list some of them: Family Frank Kočevar; Family John Adamic, E. 66th St., Family Zobec, Glass Ave., Family Anton Luzar, E. 69th St., Mimi, Dorothy and Dan Postotnik; Family Eckart, E. 66th St., and many others.
The Passion Play Committee, in which I was secretary, numbered 15. The majority of the members have already gone to their eternal reward: Joseph Grdina President Anton Pluth	Vice Pres.
John Skrabec	Secretary
Joe Jemc	Treasurer
Director	Louis	Oblak
Ass’t Director Joseph Grdina
Other members of various committees were:	Anton
Pluth; Frank Tekautz; Vladimir Močnik’ Ignac Slapnik’ John Potokar; Frank Hochevar; George Hribar; Mary Hochevar; Frank Bradach; Anton Grdina; Ivan Zupan; Frank Kosten and Anton Gregorach.
Principal	Roles were
enacted by:
Jesus Christ	Louis Oblak
Mary, His
Mother Mary Smerdel Veronica	Anna	Junkar
Mary
Magdalene Anna Zavašnik Peter	Frank Hochevar
Judas	Joseph	Grdina
Caiphas	Erazem Gorshe
Pontius Pilate	Anton Pluth
Roman Captain	John Nosan
Herod	Joseph	Grdina
Nicodemus	Frank Kosten
Joseph of
Arimathia Frank Perme
Jachim	John Kaucic
Remainder of the apostles were: Victor Jakopič; Jakob Zigon; Anton Luzar; Mike Mirtič; Joe Macerol; George Hribar; Joe Perko; & George Smolko.
We issued a Program Booklet which contained 54 pages. The cover depicts the wood carving of famous Yugoslav artist Božidar Jakac, wherein Judas betrays Christ for 30 pieces of silver, and caused His suffering and death. The Passion Play consisted of 12 acts or scenes, and was later very well written up in the Slovenian newspapers by the late Rev. Milan Slaje, pastor in Lorain, Ohio. There were 75 ads in this souvenir booklet. With the help of our faithful Slovenians, including many professionals, Catholic Fraternal Lodges and organizations, we were able to cover the expenses involved.
Over 1,000 people witnessed this Drama of Dramas with tension for several hours. The presentation indeed was excellent, and the attendance was even better. Both performances were filled to capacity and more. The Committee and the actors were highly praised for their work. Even Cleveland’s newspapers published lengthy articles and photos of this historical event.
It is my opinion, that with such a fine cast, and with such good preparation, we could have presented this drama in many of the better theatrical halls of the country.
When I visited my homeland years ago, I came in contact with the author of the “Passion Play”,. Rev. F.S. Finžgar at Trnovo, Ljubljana, and gave him a program booklet, a number of colored films, and an appropriate monetary gift. He was very grateful.
In later years, the Passion Play was repeated. The Committee had the drama presented again on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary, in the year 1950. The newly arrived Slovenians after World War II, showed their acting talents to the American Slovenian public on this occasion.

The (Slovenian) Immigrants ssMiComing EventsM
Steve Mohorko
(Continued
The house was a three bedroom, two bath, with central heating and cooling system... (Stop dreaming, boy). Actually it consisted of a very large kitchen, which also served as the dining room, and also a bedroom as far as I was concerned, because I slept in one of the far corners on a fairly comfortable single bed. Near the opposite was a large, hard coal heater. The problem was that we seldom had hard coal, so we burned chunks of soft coal, which I picked up along the railroad tracks and hauled home on my coaster wagon. This heater and a large cast iron cooking stove, were the only heating appliances in the house. During the winter it often happened that water in the kitchen sink was frozen in the morning.
There were two small bedrooms, one facing northwest. Because there were no storm windows, and due to harsh Milwaukee winters, the window in this room was frozen solid all through the winter. Four of the girls slept in this room on two squeaky double beds. It’s a wonder they didn’t freeze to death. The east bedroom was occupied by father and mother. Besides the double bed it also contained a crib for the baby. Every two years there was a new occupant, and they were all cute.
There was also a large front room, sometimes called the parlor. Furnishings were an old clumsy sofa, a bureau with mirror, which belonged in the girls’ bedroom (had there been space for it), several chairs, and after a few years, when we could afford it, a used victrola (record player) picked up somewhere at a bargain. And finally we get to the bathroom.
Oh, yes, the bathroom. I almost forgot about that. But it would not have mattered, because there was none. No leisurely hot bubble bath? No, mama mia. Incredible, but there was only a dilapidated toilet in the basement. A very large metal tub was used for baths. Water had to be heated on a small kitchen heater to mello the ice cold water in winter, Obviously daily baths were not in vogue in Chicken Village. It was not a small chore taking a bath, neither was it a pleasure in the almost ice :old water. Just writing about it now gives me the shivers. How about you, dear reader? Feel the chills down your spine? Comforts of the home those days of l^"g ago
were only for the wealthy and the middle class. For many working people, and especially for the immigrants, they were nonexistent.
Automatic washer and dryer? Are you kidding? They were not even invented at that time. There was a special tub and a hand wringer for those who could afford it. Most of the washing was also done in the basement. Nice and cool in the summer, but mighty cold in winter. But rubbing soiled clothing on the metal washboard kept a person warm. Poor mother. In winter, or on rainy days washlines were strung all over the basement and the house.
Now that we have impartially described the interior comforts of a Chicken Village home, let’s step outside and sort of appraise the exterior improvements. Landscaping was only as nature intended, because no one was ever hired as a janitor, or custodian, as' they are sometimes called these days. Someone upgraded the name, but the chores remain the same. The half block which fronts the three houses on Hadley St., west of 30th St., has not been improved. It has been gravelled and compressed a long time ago, but the surface is fairly solid. The sidewalk or path strip was the same. Walkway between the houses did get terribly muddy during the rainy periods and in spring snow thaw. Lots were only about 75 feet deep. At the rear there was a solidly built 6 ft. high wooden fence, separating the lots from a lumber yard to the north.
By this time the reader might already surmise what existed in spaces between the rear of the house and that lumber fence. Yes, chickens, of course. That’s what the five cottage town (unincorporated) was named after — “Chicken Village.” Five chicken coops, one for each house, each coop housing from around 20 to 50 chickens. And since this was long before the existence of Equal Rights Amendment, these chickens were unorganized and not very smart. Each group needed a rooster to guide them and perform whatever other duties he had. Well, I don’t know how good the roosters took care of their flock generally, but they sure did awaken them on time each morning. Likewise they woke up yet so sleepy human inhabitants of the “village” at an unearthly hour of the night. Believe me, you’ve never heard anything like it. When those five roosters began to
crow, each in his own sound and style, usually around four a.m., it sounded as though hell broke loose. Sleep after that was out of the question.
Sometimes they got the time mixed up and began the bugle call around three a.m. Wish 1 could describe it. Today it could be recorded, but unfortunately at that time recorders were not yet invented. As far as I recall, it sounded something like five rock bands, each playing its own thing and it took about two hours before they found their ending notes. Then everything was peaceful again in Chicken Village. All that could be heard above the din of the morning was the familiar cluck, cluck, cluck, of the chickens.
Besides the chickens, there was another industry in Chicken Village. Someone gave me a pair of young rabbits as a birthday gift, and I was happy. I built a modest hutch out of fruit crates, and I was in business. The only capital outlay was 15<t for nails. Because I was found of the rabbits I fed them well, so they grew fast and you could tell they got along fine. Soon 1 had to begin building a larger hutch. Within a comparatively short time, we had a delicious roast rabbit Sunday dinner. As long as the rabbits had water and plenty of food, they kept on eating, and were content and reproduced at a rapid rate.
We also had a small garden, and since the rabbits were vegetarian, feeding them was no problem. There were always leaves of garden vegetables. Even certain grasses did well for a change of menu. Ever so often two were ready for a family dinner. I preferred rabbits to chickens. At least they didn’t wake up anyone at 4 a.m. On the other hand, eggs were important food for a large family. Actually the poor chickens were not to blame. It was the darn roosters that made all the trouble at the otherwise peaceful, friendly Chicken Village, occupied most always by immigrants. Others would not live under such primitive conditions even at that time.
