PREGLED NAJVAŽNEJŠIH DOGODKOV
Ameriški vojaki bodo zapustili bejrutsko letališče — Sprememba v Reaganovi politiki
Angleži in Italijani tudi odhajajo
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Pretekli torek je predsednik Reagan odredil, da bodo Bejrut zapustili ameriški vojaki. Odhod bo trajal več tednov, vojaki pa bodo odslej nastanjeni na ameriških bojnih ladjah v neposredni bližini libanonske obale. Reagan je spremenil svojo politiko glede ameriške enote v Bejrutu predvsem radi najnovejših spopadov v Bejrutu, v katerih so muslimanci veliko napredovali zoper enote redne libanonske vojske. Muslimanske čete sedaj kontrolirajo zahodni Bejrut, celo sodelujejo z ameriškimi vojaki, ki stražijo ameriško veleposlaništvo.
Reaganov sklep je že imel druge posledice. V sredo je zapustila svoje položaje v Bejrutu 115-članska angleška enota, Italija pa je tudi izjavila, da bodo začeli njeni vojaki mesto zapustiti. Francija še ni spremenila svoje politike, ponovno pa je izrazila željo, da bi njene vojake nadomestile čete drugih držav, ki bi služile pod zastavo Združenih narodov. Tudi Anglija in Francija želita, da bi igrali posredovalno vlogo Združeni narodi, proti so pa ZDA.
Odhod ameriških vojakov zaenkrat ne bo zmanjšala vloge, ki jo v libanonskih zadevah igrajo ZDA. Kot kaže, bodo odslej streljale ameriške bojne ladje na sirijske in druge muslimanske položaje tudi, če ne bodo vojaki ZDA, ki so še v Bejrutu, napadeni Granate ameriških bojnih ladij lahko zadenejo cilje, ki so oddaljeni do 15 milj.
Mnogi vplivni kongresniki so podprli predsednikovo odločitev, naj zapustijo marinci Bejrut, želijo pa, da bi se vojaki vrnili v ZDA. Najbolj kritični so demokrati, tu pa predvsem predsedniški kandidati, a istega mnenja je tudi precej republikancev. Larry Speakes, tiskovni predstavnik predsednika, je zanikal, da pomeni umik marincev zmago za teroriste oz. Sirijce. Namen ukrepa je, da bi nudil boljšo možnost za kompromisno politično rešitev krize v Libanonu, je dejal Speakes.
State Department svetuje ameriškim državljanom, naj ne potujejo v Libanon, ta teden so pa marinci evakuirali iz Bejruta več kot 50 svojcev ameriških diplomatov. Muslimanske skupine namreč grozijo, da bodo postali vsi Amerikanci tarče terorističnih napadov, ako ostanejo v mestu.
Ameriška vlada je sedaj prepričana o lem, da igra Sirija odločilno vlogo pri vseh aktivnostih muslimanskih skupin v Bejrutu m okolici. Opazovalci libanonskih razmer menijo, da bo imela Sirija vedno večji vpliv v lej državi. Sirija je politično in gospodarsko. Prav tako tudi vojaško, tesno povezana z 2SSR. Poznavalci sirijskih razmer pa so prepričani, da Sovjeti ne bodo dobili odločilne-8a vpliva v Siriji. V naslednjih dneh bo pa Sirijo obiskal član sovjetskega politbiroja Gej d ar Alijev, ki je hkrati prvi podpredsednik sovjetske vlade.
Astronavti nadaljujejo s poletom — Včeraj drugi sprehod po vesolju — Trije sovjetski kozmonavti v Sojuzu T-10
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Včeraj sln astronavta Bruce McCandless in Robert Stewart že drugič prosto sprehajala po veso-'Ju. Čeprav imajo astronavti težave z raznimi napravami in so strokovnjaki NASA precej nezadovoljni s celotnim uspehom poleta do-s*ej, sta potekala oba sprehoda zelo uspešno.
Sprehod je bil važen, ker bo naslednja skupina astronavtov, katera bo izstreljena v vesolje aprila letos, ujela poškodovan satelit in ga skušala popraviti.
Pristanek vesoljskega letala Challenger bo jutri, v soboto, zjutraj ob 7.21 in sicer prvič na Floridi. Vremenarji napovedujejo možnost dežja, zato bodo astronavti morda pristali šele v nedeljo.
V	sredo je Sovjetska zveza izstrelila trije kozmonavte v vesolju. Kozmonavti bodo najbrž ostali v vesolju dalj časa. Prvič v zgodovini je v vesolju kar 8 vesoljcev. Sovjetski Sojuz T-10, na katerem so kozmonavti, in Challenger, se ne bosta srečala, saj sta oddaljena drug od drugega najmanj 575 milj.
Republikanci in demokrati govorijo o zmanjševanju primanjkljaja zveznega
proračuna, a brez znaka uspeha
WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Zadnje dni priča pred odborom zveznega kongresa načelnik zvezne rezervne banke Paul Volcker. V svojem pričevanju izrecno poudarja nevarnost za ameriško gospodarstvo ogromnih primanjkljajev v zveznih proračunih. Posledice bodo kratkomalo katastrofalne, trdi Volcker, ki je zelo upoštevan ekonomist. Kongresniki obeh strank soglašajo, niso pa enotnega mnenja glede ukrepov, preko katerih bi lahko občutno zmanjšali napovedane proračunske primanjkljaje.
V	vladni rezidenci Bla; House v glavnem mestu poiekajo pogovori meu vodilnimi predstavniki obeh kongresnih strank ter Reaganove administracije. Namen teh pogovorov je, najti kompromisno rešitev. Kot pa kaže, ta srečanja imajo le malo možnost, da bi vodila k rešitvi problema.
Predsednik Reagan vztraja pri stališču, da zvezni davki ne smejo biti povišani ter da izdatki za obrambne namene ne smejo biti zmanjšani. Takšno stališče pa onemogoča, da bi bili primanjkljaji zmanjšani, trdijo demokrati in tudi precej kongresnih republikancev.
Za letos in morda tudi prihodnje leto, pravi Paul Volcker, ne bomo občutili vseh posledic. Najbolj nevarno bo pa proti koncu tega desetletja.
Egiptski predsednik Hosni Mubarak na obisku v ZDA — To nedeljo srečanje z Reaganom v Beli hiši
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Na obisku v ZDA bo egiptski predsednik Hosni Mubarak. V zadnjem času igra Egipt vedno večjo vlogo na Srednjem vzhodu. Zopet je postal članica Islamske konference, iz katere je bila pred leti izključena zaradi podpisa mirovne pogodbe z Izraelom. Kot kaže, bo Mubarak skušal prepričati predsednika Reagana, naj ZDA opustijo podporo libanonskemu predsedniku Džemajelu in naj zavzemajo bolj nepristransko stališče do srednjevzhodnih razmer.
Zimske olimpijske igre v Sarajevu potekajo brez večjih težav — Le vreme malo nagaja
SARAJEVO, SFRJ — Preteklo sredo je Mika Špiljak, predsednik Jugoslavije, uradno odprl XIV. zimske olimpijske igre. Včeraj je močan veter nagajal športnike, vendar drugače potekajo igre brez težav. Jugoslovansko zastavo ob slovesni otvoritvi iger je nosil skakalec Jure Franko, zaprisego športnikov pa je v slovenskem jeziku podal Bojan Križaj.

V prejšnjem delu navedene odlomke iz cerkvenega govora ljubljanskega nadškofa dr. A. Šuštarja sedaj dopolnjujemo še z javno izpovedanimi stališči glede uvedbe programskih jeder v slovenske šole teološke fakultete in njenih duhovniških kandidatov. Dodali bomo tudi izpoved slovenske škofovske konference z dne 1. decembra 1983 ter sklenili to poročilo z mislijo o vlogi slovenske duhovščine ob kritičnih trenutkih slovenske zgodovine, kakršnih enega -•oživljamo ravno v tem času.
Slovenski škofje so na svoji konferenci podali izjavo, iz katere posnemamo glavne misli. »Delež, ki so ga imeli pastirji božjega ljudstva (duhovniki) pri prebujanju naše narodne zavesti in skrbi za naš materin jezik, je izredno pomemben in to izročilo tudi danes obvezuje Cerkev na Slovenskem... Vsi slovenski kristjani, zlasti še tisti, ki imamo v naši Cerkvi posebne odgovornosti,... moramo svoj narod spoštovati in ga ljubiti. Gojiti moramo lepo in čisto slovensko besedo... poznati narodno preteklost, jo ceniti in se iz nje učiti... Na vse to še posebej mislimo v času, ko ... sta naš jezik in kultura ogrožena, kar pomeni nevarnost za naš narodni obstoj... Priznanje in zahvalo smo dolžni vsem... ki so na obstoječe nevarnosti in nerešena vprašanja opozorili našo javnost in se zavzemajo za to, da bi slovenski otroci in mladina v šoli v vzgoji mogli dobro spoznati svojo narodno preteklost, kulturo in jezikovno bogastvo in biti na vse to ponosni. Vsa ta prizadevanja iskreno pozdravljamo, odločno podpiramo in jim želimo uspeha ob čim širšem sodelovanju.«
Profesorji in študentje ljubljanske bogoslovne fakultete so na posebni akademiji govorili in recitirali o svobodi, narodu, kulturi, jeziku, Bogu, življenju, veri v »teh naših hudih časih o slovenski usodi, poti obupa...« Pesnik dr. Denis Poniž je vzkliknil: »Slovenskemu narodu se je zmešal jezik... Teži nas ista odgovornost. Ni in ne bo jugoslovanskega jezika, ne jugoslovanske nacije in tudi ne jugoslovanske kulture.«
Teološka fakulteta, najvišja cerkvena znanstvena ustanova ugotavlja, da se je vsa slovenska javnost soglasno (tudi partijska in republiška oblast? op. pis.) opredelila za ustavno pravico, da si republika Slovenija sama ureja učni načrt. Podpira prizadevanja, da bi se jugoslovanski narodi zbližali med seboj, odklanja pa vsako javno ali prikrito izrečeno težnjo, da bi se zlili v en jugoslovanski narod. »Slovenski jezik in kultura sta naša skupna narodna dobrina, s katero se ne sme manipulirati... Protestiramo proti skupnih programskih jedrih nameravani okrnitvi poučevanja slovenskega jezika in kulture.«
Od svojih začetkov v Jezuitskem kolegiju v Ljubljani v začetku 17. stoletja je teološka fakulteta razvijala humanitarno korenino človeške osebnosti, v kateri se stikata narodnost in religija. Slovenski duhovniki oblikovani v bogoslovjih v Ljubljani, Mariboru, Celovcu in Gorici so z religiozno vsebino posredovali tudi slovensko narodno zavest.
Njena sedanja izjava v tem oziru se glasi: »Slovenska književna kultura je bila od svojih začetkov v Brižinskih spomenikih, prek vseh velikih stvaritev slovenskih protestantov in dela številnih narodnih buditeljev v 1 8. in 19. stoletju do našega časa tesno povezana z delom slovenskih du-
ODGOVORIMO NA KLIC
CLEVELAND, O. - »Vi ste sol zemlje; če pa so sol spridi, s čim se bo solila? Za nič drugega ni več, kakor da se proč vrže in jo ljudje pohodijo.« Tako smo slišali zadnjo nedeljo. Vsak ima svojo pot, pa tudi odgovornost, da se osebno zboljšuje v dobrega kristjana. Pokojni papež Janez Pavel L je v svojih pismih - združena v knjigi Ilustrissimi - pisal Jezusu, da ga je umel, ko je bil zavzet za trpljenje, ki ga greh povzroči, bolj kot kaznovanje človeka, ki krši božji zakon. Jezus je bil sol, ki se ni spridila, pa so Ga zavrgli in pohodili.
Sol Njegovega trpljenja na križu je postala luč, ki tudi nam sveti: »Vi ste luč sveta. Mesto, ki stoji na gori, se ne more skriti. Svetilke tudi ne prižigajo in ne postavljajo pod mernik, marveč na svetilnik in sveti vsem, ki so v hiši. Tako
naj Vaša luč sveti med ljudmi, da bodo videli vaša dobra dela in slavili vašega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.« Pod mernikom luč ugasne, na svetilniku pa sveti, a prepihi jo skušajo ugasniti. Da ne ugasne plamen, imamo zakramente in molitev, katerih se poslužujemo. V tem današnjem živ-žavu pa rabimo tudi čas, da premislimo in pregledamo dušno stanje. Taka prilika bo pri duhovnih vajah za može in fante, ki bodo od 24. do 26. februarja v domu duhovnih vaj na Lake Shore Blvd. Vodja duhovnih vaj bo lazarist g. Franc Sodja CM, iz Toronta, Kanada.
Zelo težko je biti luč v družini, ko te vsi dobro poznajo, zato pa je prav, da nadoknadimo gorivo in gradivo, da bo naša pot h Kristusu temeljitejša, kar bodo prav gotovo pomagale duhovne vaje meni in

Glasbena Matica vabi na koncert in večerjo
CLEVELAND, O. - Pevski zbor Glasbena Matica še živi! Nekateri so namreč mislili, da je to priljubljeno pevsko društvo prenehalo z delovanjem, ker je bil prisiljen odpovedati tradicionalni jesenski koncert. Pevovodja Vladimir Malečkar je bil tako zaposlen pri svojem podjetju, da enostavno ni imel časa, da bi vodil vaje, potrebne za koncert.
Kot kaže, so v današnji slovenski skupnosti pevovodje kar zelo iskane osebe, ker jih je tako malo. Pri pevskem zboru Korotanu so imeli srečo, ker so dobili po upokojitvi inž. Frančka Gorenška sposobnega naslednika Rudija Kneza. V Chicagu je bil pevski zbor »France Prešeren«, v katerem sodelujejo večinoma potomci starih naseljencev, ki pa v veliki večini ne znajo slovenščine, v silnih težavah, ker mu je umrl dolgoletni pevovodja, kateri je bil češkega rodu. Da bi zbor lahko nadaljeval, se
mu je začasno pridružil dr. Vendelin Špendov.
Glasbena Matica bo imela svoj spomladanski koncert z večerjo in plesom v soboto, 10. marca, v Slovenskem narodnem domu na St. Clair Ave. Večerjo bodo začeli servirati ob sedmih, nato bo koncertni nastop, kateremu bo sledil ples, za katerega bo pa igral Don Slogar orkester. Slogarjev orkester bo tudi spremljal nekaj točk v programu samem.
Vstopnice za večerjo, koncert in ples so po $12 in jih imajo člani Glasbene Matice. Lahko pa pokličete Cathy Hopkins na tel. št. 884-6143.
Koncertni program bo tudi tokrat vseboval slovenske narodne in angleške pesmi. V zadnjih letih je morda nekaj preveč angleškega petja v nastopih Glasbene Matice - vsaj meni se tako zdi - pesmi so pa izvrstno podane, prav tako slovenske. Slovenski del letošnjega programa bo
hovnikov... Tudi danes je slovenski duhovnik ne samo verski, temveč tudi obče kulturni delavec med našim narodom.«
Kakšna velika resnica!
Le pomislimo samo na Slomška in njegove sodelavce, koliko so storili na polju nedeljskega šolstva in s spisova-njem učbenih pripomočkov (Blaže in Nežica...I), pa s Slomškovo ustanovitvijo Družbe sv. Mohorja za razvitek splošne ljudske kulture! Ali pa na Jegličevo drzno ustanovitev popolne slovenske gimnazije (edine v Avstriji) in skrb za spi-sovanje šolskih učnih knjig za slovenski pouk. Vse to in še mnogo več je bilo mogoče na izobraževalni gladini uresničiti le s skupno podporo celokupne duhovščine. Kaj pa morje prosvetnih društev?
Spomnimo se pri tej priliki na ogromno gospodarsko reševanje slovenskega kmeta z zadružnim gibanjem Janeza Ev. Kreka, ko so duhovniki po deželi ustanavljali hranilnice in posojilnice in jih sami vodili! Brez njih bi bil narod gospodarsko utonil v nemškem morju.
In končno tudi na narodno-politični platformi. Klun, Kalan, J. E. Krek, Korošec, Kulovec so le nekatera znanih imen duhovnikov, ki so se borili za narodove pravice in njegovo suvereno svobodo, pa po vrsti umrli - brez denarja.
Kdor se v vse to zamisli, mu tudi ob sedanji veliki krizi narodne eksistence postane lažje pri srcu. Slovenski duhovnik je velika, neprecenljiva manifestacija božje pomoči narodu v stiski. Kdor svoj narod resnično ljubi, naj se s so-rojaki strne v skupno gorečo molitev, da bi Vsemogočni dal narodu mnogo, mnogo duhovnikov. In naj se nič ne boji. Narod ne bo propadel.
L. P.
vključil, med drugimi, pesmi »Rasti rožmarin« in »Njega ni«.
Pri Glasbeni Matici pojejo danes predvsem potomci slovenskih naseljencev, nekateri so mešane krvi, mnogi pa niso zmožni slovenskega jezika ali pa razumejo le nekaj besed in izrazov. Kljub temu, ostajajo zvesti izročilu svojih staršev in starih staršev. Pri zboru so člani in članice, ki pojejo pri njem že pol stoletja in več. Zaslužijo pohvalo in priznanje, prav tako našo navzočnost.
Mnogi, ki vidijo samo današnje razmere in jih precej kritično ocenijo, pozabijo ali pa sploh nimajo pojma o bogati zgodovini mnogo teh starejših pevskih zborov in drugih kulturnih društev. Glasbena Matica je nastopila na odru Slovenskega narodnega doma z operami takih slovitih skladateljev kot so Verdi, Flotow in drugi. Težave, s katerimi se srečujejo kulturna društva, kot je Glasbena Matica, so danes splošen pojav. Zanimivo bo, če bodo druga društva tem težavam kljubovala - če že ne premagovala - tako sorazmerno uspešno, kot so jin1 Glasbena Matica, Jadran, Zarja in mnoga druga.
Naj ne torej pozabimo na koncert Glasbene Matice v soboto, 10. marca, v SND na St. Clairju!

Odpisana lastninska pravica
Pokopališče pri Sv. Križu v Ljubljani, ki ga sedaj tudi Žale imenujejo, čeprav je ime Žale sprva veljalo le za Plečnikove mrliške kapelice, je bilo last ljubljanske nadškofije. Po »osvoboditvi« je pokopališče zasegla »družba«. Zgleda da »družba« ni bila prepričana o svoji juridični pravici. Sedaj je Po desetletnem »pogajanju« nadškofija prepustila lastninsko pravico nad pokopališčem za košček zemlje, kjer bodo sezidali novo župno cerkev.
Pogodbo sta 20. decembra Podpisala nadškof dr. Alojzij Šuštar in predsednik bežigrajske občine Jurij Zavec. Družina o tem takole piše:
V torek, 20. decembra, je bila v prostorih mestne skupščine podpisana pogodba o nreditvi premoženjsko-prav-nih razmerij v zvezi s pokopališčem Žale. V pripravi te pogodbe je sodeloval tudi ljubljanski pomožni škof Jožef ^vas, župnijo sv. Križa ter Pokopališki sklad je zastopal uPravitelj Anton Rojc, sklepna sestanka v prostorih testne hiše pa se je udeležil tudi dekan mesta Ljubljane Matija Ham.
Že nadškof Jožef Pogačnik, Predhodnik sedanjega nadško-fn in metropolita Šuštarja, je bil pripravljen podpisati takšno pogodbo, seveda, pod posojeni, da Cerkev ohrani na niškem pokopališču ustrezne Rodnosti, predvsem pa, da bi Ji bila v bližini pokopališča dodeljena lokacija za novo cerkev.

Lokacija za novo cerkev je bila povezana z mnogimi spremljajočimi pogoji, posebno s komunalno ureditvijo prostora, ki pa zahteva izredno visoke stroške. Lokacija nove cerkve je v bližini sedanjega župnijskega doma; preseliti je treba vrtnarijo ter zanjo zgraditi potrebne objekte. Nova cerkev bo v bližini Plečnikovih Žal, kjer tudi ne gre postavljati kakršnekoli stavbe. Težav torej dovolj! .
Dogovori, pogajanja so sedaj uspešno dokončana. Pod-
Izid volitev
Na posebnih volitvah, ki so bile pretekli torek v našem mestu, so volivci zavrnili predlog 1, ki bi povišal davek na zaslužke tistih, ki so zaposleni v Clevelandu, za pol odstotka. Za predlog je glasovalo 46, proti pa je bilo 54 odstotkov volivcev. Že v sredo je župan Voinovich povedal, da bo mestna uprava odpustila iz službe kar 597 uslužbencev, od teh 290 policajev. Unije, ki predstavljajo prizadete uslužbence, se bodo obrnile na sodišče.
Volivci so pa odobrili drugi predlog, po katerem bo lahko mesto uporabilo zvezni denar za gradnjo valjarne, v kateri naj bi našlo zaposlitev do 400 delavcev. Po volitvah je pa prišlo na dan, da obljuba firme, ki bi to valjarno gradila in lastovala, ni obvezujoča in da morda do gradnje celo ne bo prišlo. Voinovich tega ni pred voljtvami omenil, on in njegovi svetovalci pa so še vedno prepričani, da bo valjarna res zgrajena.
pisana je pogodba, s katero je prešlo pokopališče v last bežigrajske občine, Cerkev je o-hranila nekatere ugodnosti na njem, župnija sv. Križa pa je dokončno dobila najustreznejšo lokacijo za novo cerkev.
Škof Jožef Kvas je že v svoji prejšnji službi kot dekan in arhidiakon sodeloval pri omenjenih pogajanjih. Sedaj je urejeno. Na vprašanje, kakšen občutek ima ob podpisu te pogodbe, je dejal: »Če moremo majhno stvar primerjati z večjo, bi rekel takole: Najbrž je občutek pri obeh podpisnikih podoben, kakor so ga nekdaj imeli ob podpisu konkordatov. Obe stranki se zavedata, da sta dobili, kar sta želeli, obe pa tudi čutita, da sta za pridobitev precej žrtvovali.«

Duhovnika zaprli zaradi protizakonite vsebine molitve
Catholic Universe Bulletin v Clevelandu je poročal, da so oblasti v SFRJ aretirale duhovnika Filipa Paviča, ker je v neki verski reviji objavil molitev svetniku Leopoldu Mandiču, v kateri je izrazil nasprotovanje materializmu. Besedilo molitve je bilo: Sv. Leopold Bogdan Mandič! Molite Bogu skupaj z vsemi drugimi svetniki in blaženimi Hrvati za našo faro (Matkovič), za vse naše ljudi, da jih ne bosta prevzeli teorija in praksa materializma.
Oblastniki so ukrepali zoper duhovnika Paviča, ker so smatrali vsebino molitve za protiustavno, ker nasprotuje marksistični socialno-politični ureditvi družbe. Kazen za č.g. Paviča: 50 dni zaporne kazni.
Slovenski misijonar Albin Kladnik umrl
V Južni Afriki je umrl misijonar Albin Kladnik. Doma je bil iz Luč v Savinjski dolini, kjer se je rodil leta 1914. Vstopil je k misijonarjem Srca Je-
zusovega in bil posvečen med vojno leta 1942. V misijone je odšel v Južno Afriko leta 1949 in ostal tam do smrti. V Gorici se ga nekateri spominjajo, ker je bil prvi misijonar, ki jih je obiskal po zadnji vojni.

“What does MZA stand for?” asked a young lady brightly, recently.
For a moment 1 was taken aback.
MZA are the initials for Misijonska Znamkarska Akcija. Translated from the Slovenian it means Missionary Stamp Action. Originally MZA’s purpose was to collect cancelled postage stamps. These stamps were washed, mounted, and sold to interested parties. The proceeds were then distributed to missionaries throughout the world.
The co-ordinator of MZA was the Rev. Charles A. Wolbang, C.M. As a missionary, he spent time in the Far East missions, particularly in China. More recently he was an instructor in French at the seminary conducted by the Vincentian Fathers in Princeton, N.J. At present he is pastor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Toronto. He is also the spiritual director of MZA.
Our Canadian brothers and sisters, who are interested in Slovenian Catholic missions,
can contact Rev. Wolbang at 131 Birchmount Road, Scarborough, Ontario, MIN 3J7.

On Mission Sunday this year, Pope John Paul II celebrated a solemn Mass in the basilica of St. Paul, Rome. During the ceremonies he presented the Mission Cross to 240 missionaries. This symbolic presentation is traditionally given to the men and women going to the four corners of the world to preach the good news of Jesus Christ.

This year the Church of Iceland celebrated its 1000th anniversary of the evangelization of the country. First missionaries came to the island toward the end of the year

In the 17th century, under pressure of the Danish king, Icelanders began converting to the Lutheran faith. Among the

The United States Postal Service is planning to issue a commemorative postcard, honoring Bishop Frederick*Baraga. Bishop Baraga was a missionary among the Indians of the Upper Great Lakes. He is a candidate for sainthood in the Catholic Church.
A controversy has arisen regarding the postcard, some persons claiming that the postal action was a violation of the separation of church and state.

Reader Responds to Kuhar
Editor:
It was with great interest that I read Stan Kuhar’s article, “Where To Now, St. Clair Avenue?” published in the January 13 issue of the American Home. Stan graphically describes the area, its makeup and primarily concentrates on the business sector of the area. I am certain that his intention was not meant to focus on the business establishments as the source of the area’s problem, but only to point out that a full, well rounded line of businesses is essential and necessary for the betterment of the St. Clair community.
Stan further on, in his article, expresses his thoughts on what steps he feels are necessary to bring about a revitalization of the business sector. Again, I would hope that Stan means a revitalization of the total community. New businesses are not willing to open shop in a declining area. Attempts have been made in the past to entice needed businesses and professionals into the area without success. Show these businesses that you have a well established community with potential for growth, and you will spark their interest.
I applaud your interest and concern and I know that you have stirred others with your article. Do not let it rest. I would nevertheless, urge you to give more concentration to the community as a whole and its need to survive.
We in the 60 plus age bracket have long witnessed the decline and changes within the community. It has burdened many with fear and anxiety. Most seek security they once enjoyed. It is to the younger generation, those in the 20, 30, and 40 age groups that we must look for leadership and support. They need to be drawn to the cause. There is a need for their active participation to make this a viable and desirable community to live in.
Together with the involvement of all phases of the community: business, professional, religious, civil and

In conclusion: The Perry Homeowners Association was initially organized to be concerned for the preservation and welfare of the community. It was a very active and forceful group for many years. Today there is very little evidence of the group’s activity. Let us hope that your article has drawn its attention, also. If it still is a voice in the area, let it be heard.

Križaj Stars in
Ski Olympics
Last Sunday night Channel 61 featured an Olympics 84 Special for world ski championships. Among the top contenders is Bojan Križaj of Slovenia. Yugoslavia is banking on its only world contender to bring in an Olympic medal this year.
Holder of the Silver Medal, Križaj’s most serious competitor is Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, holder of the Gold Medal. American ski champions are expected to place third and fourth.
Križaj has been skiing from early childhood. He hails from Kranjska Gora in Slovenia, where his family has always had great enthusiasm for skiing.
At age 27, he feels this will be his last try in the Olympics for the Gold Medal. Married, with two children, he has missed the family life to which Slovenians are accustomed. Racing takes him out of his environs some eight months of the year, which means his two youngsters have been growing up in his long absences from home. After retirement, Križaj hopes to become a ski instructor, to train and teach Yugoslav youngsters for the Olympics in succeeding years.
The American Home has reported on the successful skiing career of Bojan Križaj in the past. We wish
him success in his quest as
a golden medalist.

Pomp and pageantry will fill the stage when
Cleveland Ballet presents “Slavonic and Hungarian Dances” at the Music Hall March 23, 24, and 25.
Using folklore as its base, Dennis Nahat, artistic director of Cleveland Ballet, choreographed this ballet in 1978 in recognition of Cleveland’s large ethnic community.
A smashing success, “Slavonic and Hungarian Dances” is a brightly colored production that contrasts the earthy peasant dances of Hungary with the stately court dances of the Slovenian people.
Set to the music of Antonin Dvorak and Johannes Brahams, both 19th century composers, the ballet utilizes the techniques of classical ballet intertwined with popular folk and court dances.
Also on the same program will be one of the greatest love stories of all time, “Swan Lake”, Act II, plus “Canonade” a pure classical ballet, danced to
Bach’s Piano Concerto No. I.
Tickets, which range in price from $5.00 to $30, may be charged to Visa, MasterCard or American Express by calling (216) 621-3634. Group rates are also available by calling 621-2260.

other groups.	'd
Candy Urbancich celebra a her birthday on Feb- ‘ Fondest wishes from n family and friends.
By Dan J. Postotnik Do you know that I met an angel? This is not one with halo and wings, but an earthly one. Although I remember her when she still lived on Prosser Ave. way back in the thirties and forties, it was only some three years ago that we met again through a common friend.
She is personable Agnes Marie Klemenčič Bradek, who now resides at 8167 Mentor Ave., Mentor, Ohio.
It so happened that I was able to secure an Aug. 1949 issue of a magazine called ‘‘The Woman”, in which Agnes was lauded as Woman of the Month. I began to realize how much this handicapped lady has done and is still doing for people, and I believe she deserves a lot of credit.
The subtitle reads: She spends her time and money helping others because her own life taught her about handicaps. The article went on to tell its readers about her Good Samaritan activities. Rushing pregnant women to the hospital was only one of the neighborly things Agnes was noted for. She supported an average of eight destitute families, washed clothes for the feeble, took the infirm to the doctor and then footed the bill, visited many bedridden, went out of her way to find jobs for the needy, and had enough time left over to operate the only woman founded and operated retail coal business in Cleveland.
And although she is now Setting up in years, I found out that our angel is still ready to help out anyone despite her fragile health. In, fact, I have been a Witness to it a number of times. She has had another operation only last month, adding to her numerous ones during her lifetime.
Miss Agnes, as/her Ohiployees called her then, 'Ought a continuing battle With bodily pain. Born with
Dan’s Diaty-
a dislocated hip, she underwent surgery for the first time when she was 18 months old. At age three, she had polio. Braces and crutches were her constant companions.
After high school graduation, she applied for a job in a downtown department store. The employment manager politely reminded her of her handicap. She remembers telling him that she would sell his products with her hands, not with her feet. But she did not get the job or others for which she had applied. Her pastor, Rev. Bartholomew Ponikvar gave her temporary employment at the parish rectory.
It was in that office that she got hold of herself. She began to pray more than ever, and trusted completely in God.
Later, despite her crutches, she landed a neighborhood job at the Cimperman Coal Co., which was going down. She decided to buy out the company and managed to get a loan for $8,000.00, despite advice against it from her friends. That was in 1943. Coal wholesalers provided as much coal as was then possible.
Her Good Samaritan activities began with ownership of the coal company. As soon as she could get to some extra funds, she would use it to help the poor. Then came the East Ohio Gas explosion of October 1943 which hurt her business quite a bit, but she struggled through it.
Business picked up as time went by, and so did the visits at her office by the indigent. She never let anyone down. Mrs. Bradek was also able to help out her family financially after a while, setting up her two brothers, Mike and Rudy, in business, and purchasing a nine room home for her parents in Cleveland Heights. She often invited handicapped persons there for lawn parties.

Agnes married Joseph Bradek and they reared two children. Her husband died on the day before their 25th Wedding Anniversary. She has been a widow since 1974. Prior to Mr. Bradek’s death, they had operated the Mentor Motel in Mentor,\Ohio for some years.
A woman who has definitely proved that a handicap is not a deterrent to doing good and to success in life, Agnes has won the admiration of the people of Cleveland. Agnes Marie Klemenčič Bradek,' by remembering the handicaps of others, has forgotten her own.

Deaths
ALICE G. HRIBAR
Alice G. Hribar, the last surviving child of Josef Turk, Cleveland’s, first Slovenian settler in 1881, died at Euclid General Hospital on Tuesday, January 24, 1984 at age 91 of cardiac arrest. She had lived in the Coilinwood area for 68 years in the house she and her late husband, Bartholomew, who died in July, 1982 at age 101, built in 1915.
During the entire 71 years of their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hribar never experienced a death in their own family, which numbers 58 lineal descendants, many of whom have traveled and lived all over the world, including many who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and all of whom still survive.
Mrs. Hribar had a sharp mind and remarkable memory, could recall accurately dates and events which occurred during her entire lifetime, kept family records and had recently been called upon for information and documents relating to the founding of St. Vitus Catholic Church by her husband’s uncle, Monsignor Vitus Hribar, in 1894. Born in Cleveland and able to speak English and
Slovenian, Mrs. Hribar acted as an interpreter for and was devoted to aiding and helping many Slovenian women, friends and relatives solve their business and personal problems. She was an astute businesswoman, obtained a real estate license and helped her husband operate his real estate business.
For many years she worked with the Catholic Resettlement Program for refugees after World War II and was selected as Mrs. Santa Claus by the Cleveland Press. In 1956 she received a Papal Blessing from Pope Piux XII. A lifetime interest was her affiliation with the Ladies Catholic Benevolent Association, Branch 713, holding all offices.
She is survived by three sons, Paul J. of Euclid, Laurence B. of Mentor, and Albert F. of San Diego; two daughters, Margaret M. Walton of Mentor-on-the-Lake and Alice Dorothy Rock of Shaker Heights; 28 grandchildren and 25 greatgrandchildren. C. J.
