Senat odobril 38 milijonov dolarjev pomoči protisandinističnim gverilcem
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je zvezni senat glasoval za predlog, ki odobri 38 milijonov dolarjev podpore protisandinističnim gverilcem v Nikaragvi. Predlog je podprla tudi Reaganova administracija. 55 senatorjev, večinoma republikanci, so bili za predlog, 42 senatorjev pa je glasovalo proti. Ameriška pomoč takoimenovanim »contras« b> bila nevojaškega značaja. Tako naj bi ZDA pošiljale »contras« hrano, zdravila, oblačila itd., ne pa orožja ali streliva.
Med redkimi demokratskimi senatorji, ki so bili za predlog, je sen. Sam Nunn (D.-Ga.). Nunn je dejal, da bo senatno glasovanje jasen dokaz sandinistom v Nikaragvi. da ZDA podpirajo demokratične sile. Opazovalci političnega razpoloženja v zveznem kongresu menijo, da je obisk nikara-gveškega predsednika Daniela Ortege v Moskvi jezil mnoge kongresnike, ki sicer niso naklonjeni Reaganovi politiki do Nikaragve.
O podobnem predlogu bo glasoval prihodnji teden tudi spodnji dom kongresa. Vodja demokratske večine kong. Tip O’Neill (D.-Mass.) še vedno nasprotuje podpori »contras«, prav tako je proti velika večina demokratskih in tudi nekaj republikanskih liberalcev. Razprava bo ostra, izid glasovanja je še nejasen.
Predsednik Reagan v svojih govorih niočno napada sandiniste in trdi, da bodo ZDA nadaljevale pritisk tako na nikaragve-ško vlado kot bodo podpirale sile, ki se bojujmo zoper sandinistični režim.
Varnostni ukrepi v obrambnem tajništvu bodo poostreni — Vohunska mreža Johna Walkerja zelo škodovala ZDA
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Obrambni tajnik Caspar W. Weinberger je dejal včeraj, da bodo v Pentagonu poostrili varnostni ukrepi in da bo odslej imelo manj uslužben-Cev obrambnega tajništva dostop do zaupnih Podatkov. To je posledica odkritja obsežne n zelo Škodljive vohunske mreže, ki jo je v Pr*d ZSSR vodil celih 18 let bivši mornariški astnik John Walker. Walker je sedaj v pri-P°ru skupaj s svojim sinom in bratom ter rugim članom vohunske mreže. Dobro Poučeni viri trdijo, da preiskava še teče in da Je Pričakovati aretacijo 4 ali 5 drugih oseb.
V ameriški mornarici trdijo, da so bili Podatki, ki jih je Walker posredoval sovjet-? IIT1 agentom, res zelo škodljive, niso pa ^ontpromitirali varnosti ameriških podmor-lc- V intervjuju je Weinberger dejal, da 0 n Walker ne sodeluje v preiskavi.

V	Braziliji trdijo, da so našli truplo Josefa Menegeleta — Nacistični zločinec
naj bi umrl že 1979. leta
EMBU, Bra. — Včeraj so brazilijski policisti baje našli truplo nacističnega vojnega zločinca dr. Josefa Mengeleta. Odprli so namreč grob na tukajšnjem pokopališču, v katerem naj bi bil pokopan neki Wolfgang Gerhard. Dejansko pa gre za Mengeleta, ki da se je utonil 1979. leta, pravita Wolfram in Liselotte Bossert, Avstrijca. Mengele naj bi stanoval v hiši, ki sta ga lastovala Avstrijca. W. Bossert pravi, da je med plavanjem pri obalnem letovišču Bertioga dne 7. februarja 1979 Mengeleta zadela kap in se utonil.
Potrjeno še ni, da gre za Mengeleta, ki velja za najbolj iskanega nacističnega zločinca še na prostosti. Simon Wiesenthal, avstrijski žid, ki vodi prizadevanja, katerih namen je odkrivati še živeče nacistične zločince, je dejal v intervjuju včeraj v New Yorku, da dvomi, da gre v Braziliji za Mengeletovo truplo. Zadržan je tudi glavni tožilec v Frankfurtu, ZRN, Heinz Haueisen, ki ni pripravljen potrditi, da gre za Mengeleta. Nimamo namreč podatkov o Mengeletovi zobni ali kostni strukturi, je dejal Haueisen.
Kot kaže, so nemški policisti našli seznam naslovov v Braziliji, ko šo pregledali neko hišo v Guepzburgu, ZRN. Mengeletova družina izhaja iz tega mesta. Nemški policisti co stopili v stik z brazilijskimi kolegi, ti so pa zaslišali Bossertova in tako prišli do trupla, ki je bilo pokopano na pokopališču v Embuju, Bossertova nista hotela govoriti z novinarji.
V	Brazilijo so oziroma bodo odpotovali zdravniki in drugi specialisti', ki bodo skušali na znanstveni način ugotoviti, ali so najdeni zemeljski ostanki res Mengeletovi.

40 let po koncu druge svetovne vojne
n.
Slovence in jugoslovanske narode je druga svetovna vojna nadvse usodno prizadela. Še enkrat je namreč pokazala, da je Jugoslavija pojem, ki ga je mogoče razumeti tako ali drugače, kot so lahko različne duhovne in politične poti njenih narodov. Ti so sredi besa časa, bolj ali manj sami žrtve, nemočni in prizadeti, s pomočjo razmejevanj, obračunavanj in samovoljnih ukrepov iskali poti iz krize identitete in politične neuravnovešenosti, v kateri se je Jugoslavija znašla ob nemškem napadu leta 1941.
Bobneča gesla o zmagi danes ne morejo preprečiti razraščanja tragične zavesti, da je slovenski narod neslovensko vojno velikih sil za svoje egocentrične interese plačal z izredno krutim krvnim davkom.
Čeprav mnogi mislijo drugače, je dejstvo, da komunistična Titova politika Slovencem ni priborila tistega cilja, za katerega so se borili že desetletja v okviru avstro-ogrske monarhije: Zedinjene Slovenije. Slovenski narod je kljub določeni razširitvi na Primorsko ostal razčetverjen na štiri države, brez možnosti za dejansko politično suverenost vseh narodnih členov.
Svetovna vojna s partizanstvom in domobranstvom kot reakcijo nanj ter z vsemi agresivnimi diferenciacijami se je za širše dele narodnega telesa izkazala kot zlo in kot težka rana na narodu kot takem. Slovenci so v vojno zašli v ideološkem pretiravanju, od katerega sta sprva imela v njunem zaničevanju malih narodov koristi predvsem dva velika: Hitler in Stalin, kateremu se je pridružil Churchill.
Tisto, kar na prvi pogled namreč izgleda kot herojstvo ali načelnost, je kaj hitro le golo obračunavanje in barbarstvo. Že po vojni uresničena dodatna bilanca s pobitimi 1 2.000 domobranci, stotisočimi protikomunističnimi Hrvati in Srbi prav tako kot pomor kozaške vojske ni v okras apoteoze. miru, četudi morda gledamo na poteze domobranskih in partizanskih obračunavanj s takim ali drugačnim kritičnim očesom.
Pobiti so bili predvsem mladi, še neizkušeni, v ideje svoje poti pošteno verujoči Slovenci, slovenska mladina katoliške usmerjenosti, ki bi v osvobojeni, mirni Evropi morala imeti vse možnosti in pravice, da si ustvari družbeno in narodno življenje po svoji svobodni zamisli. Načrtovalci novega sveta mladih povojnih rodov sploh niso nikoli zares upoštevali pri oblikovanju svetovne podobe.
Ironija usode je, da se je poljski narod, zaradi katerega se je pravzaprav vnel usodni vojni boj, po vojni znašel v naročju nove protinarodne ujetosti, kateri se vedno znova na pogumen, a neuspešen način upira. Litva, Estonska in betonska so odpisane z zemljevida svobodnih držav, čeprav je šele usodni sporazum med Hitlerjem in Stalinom kot prvi poskus nove evropske in svetovne ureditve zapečatil njihovo usodo in Hitlerju omogočil pot v drugo svetovno vojno.
Druga svetovna vojna je svet razdelila po svoje. Kljub lepim besedam in kljub zmagovitim koračnicam pa to ni svet, kakršnega si žele nove mlade generacije. To je svet, ki ga je
Zlatomašnik dr. p. Kalist Langerholz, OFM
V Chicagu smo imeli 19. maja 1985 lepo praznovanje. Profesor v pokoju in župnijski pomočnik pri Sv. Štefanu je praznoval 50. obletnico mašni-škega posvečenja.
K praznovanju zlate maše p. Kalista je na povabilo domačega župnika p. Vendeli-na prišel iz Slovenije njegov starejši brat p. Ildefonz Langerholz — tudi duhovnik in frančiškan. Njemu se je pridružila skupina sorodnikov iz Amerike in Slovenije. Prišli so tudi prijatelji iz Kanade.
Slovesno mašo je opravil zlatomašnik pri slovenski deseti niaši. Vsa cerkev je bila ta dan v prazničnem vzdušju. Polno zasedena, vsa v cvetju in razsvetljavi. Zlatomašnika je k oltarju spremljala številna mladina: učenci slovenske šole v narodnih nošah, farno šolo so pa zastopali letošnji prvo-obhajanci v belih oblekicah in graduantje v svojih uniformah. Po cerkvi je donela nikoli zastarana slovenska: Zlatomašnik bod’ pozdravljen.
Prvo čestitko je izrekel pred oltarjem slovenski deček Mihec Magajne v spremstvu deklice s šopkom v rokah. Polnoštevilni in odlični naš cerkveni zbor je z zlatomašni-kom skupaj povzdignil vso slovesnost zlate maše v čudovito hvalnico.
Slavnostni govor je sprejel njegov brat p. Ildefonz, ki je najbolje poznal in skupno z zlatomašnikom prehodil slavljenčevo življenjsko pot.
Pridružimo se tudi mi izvrstnemu govorniku:
P. Kalist Langerholz je sin slovenskih staršev Franca in Lucije, rojen 21. januarja 1911 v Beljaku na Koroškem, kjer je oče opravljal službo na državni železnici nekdanje velike monarhije Avstro-Ogr-ske. Lucija, vzor slovenske matere, je rada obiskovala svoj in možev rodni kraj na Gorenjskem — Staro Loko; tukaj je bil rojen tudi prvi sin p. Ildefonz. Starejšemu bratoma sta se pridružili še dve sestri: prva je Slovencem zelo znana misijonarka s. Kalista, nekdaj na Kitajskem in na
Formozi, sedaj živeča v Parizu, druga pa živi z družino v Mariboru.
Leto 1918 je prineslo razpad stare Avstro-Ogrske. Kaj sedaj z družino Langerholz? Koroška je pripadla novi Avstriji, Slovenija pa Jugoslaviji. Oče bi rad ostal v Avstriji, materi je srce vleklo domov in borila se je z njim s prošnjo, da njeni otroci ne smejo postati Nemci.
Tako šo odšli v Maribor, kjer je bilo prva leta po vojni trdo življenje. Sinova — Pepi in Francelj — sta kot nadarjena fanta obiskovala mariborsko gimnazijo in se kot študenta pridružila mladini, katero je zbiral okrog sebe frančiškan p. Ciril Vračko. Ta je bil velik prijatelj fantom, skrbel je za njih duhovno rast in za potrebno telesno razvedrilo. V teh mladih letih sta se brata odločila, da postaneta tudi frančiškana. Mlajši Francelj, sedaj p. Kalist je dokončal gimnazijski študij in bogoslovje v Ljubljani. Mašniško posvečenje mu je podelil takratni ljubljanski škof dr. Gregorij Rožman. Svojo novo mašo pa je p. Kalist opravil 7. julija 1935 v Mariboru, kamor so njegove mlade sorodnice vse prihitele v narodnih nošah in to iz Škofje in Stare Loke.
Mladi duhovnik je nekaj let študiral v Rimu na frančiškanskem zavodu Antonium, nato je bil nastavljen kot katehet v Ljubljani za Bežigradom v župniji Sv. Cirila in Metoda.
Leta 1945 se je podal z mnogimi v begunstvo in tako prišel v Ameriko — v Lemont in, za
odmerilo vojno nasilje in ki so ga po svoji podobi skrojili dogmatični generali in voditelji. To je svet, v katerem je načela moralne demokracije že davno preraslo nasilje novih trgovanj z ljudstvi in narodi ter razrast protinarodnih ideologij, ki so najbolj usodne za majhne narode.
Kako naj torej z veselim srcem proslavljamo mir, ko je ta mir le zunanjega značaja in svet ne pozna notranjega miru, ki je vedno in dosledno le mir srca, notranji mir ljubezni, vzajemnosti in upoštevanja vseh členov — zaradi danosti svobodne volj-e — vedno različno se razvijajočih in mislečih udov človeštva?
Kdor spomin na konec vojne praznuje z novimi paradami in koračnicami na grobovih tako ali drugače umrlih nedolžnih in krivih žrtev vojne, pravzaprav pripravlja nove nečloveške vojne spopade, ki bodo zaradi izredno grozljivo razvite vojne tehnike tudi za velike narode strašni.
Spomin na konec druge svetovne vojne je mogoče počastiti le s srčno željo po dokončni zmagi razuma o poti miru in srčno potrebne vseslovenske in vsečloveške sprave To je tudi edina'pot, ki lahko prinese srečo danes mladim človeškim pokolenjem in vsem Slovencem, ki jih zadnja vojna zares ni osvobodila.

nekaj let, v New York. Želel je dokončati univerzitetni bogoslovni študij na frančiškanskem zavodu v Jeruzalemu, kar se mu je posrečilo. Imel je težave za vstop pri Izraelcih in Arabcih. Prejel je naslov doktorja za strokovnjaka svetega pisma nove zaveze. Poleg evropskih važnih jezikov obvlada latinščino in grščino.
Kot profesor je poučeval na ameriških bogoslovnih šolah in sicer na Catholic Theological Union v Chicagu in v frančiškanskem semenišču Teuto-polis. Nekdanji semeniščniki mu pišejo in prosijo za nasvete in oporo.
V župniji sv. Štefana je pomagal župniku p. Klavdiju in sedaj p. Vendelinu. Med farani uživa velik ugled, slovi po svojih globokih govorih, vdanosti materinemu jeziku in prijaznem občevanju z vsakim človekom.

Nikolaj Tolstoj pride v Cleveland
CLEVELAND, O. - Lani — 3. januarja 1984 — je na angleški televizijski mreži BBC bil predvajan dokumentarni film pod naslovom: »The Klagen-furt Affair» (Vetrinjska tragedija), v reviji Encounter pa je izšel zelo zanimiv članek, ki je obravnaval docela isti dogodek. Članek je napisal svetovno znani zgodovinar in pisatelj grof Nikolaj Tolstoj.
Tabor Z.D.S.P.B. je kaj kmalu dobil odlične zveze z grofom Tolstojem. Preteklo jesen je potoval iz Londona v ZDA in Kanado ter nas obiskal z namenom, da dobi čim več podatkov o vračanju in pobijanju naših rojakov. Tudi je hotel osebno intervjuvati priče iz Kočevskega Roga, katerim je uspelo pobegniti iz množičnih grobov. Postregli smo mu z razpoložljivimi viri in dokumenti, ki jih imamo.
Z izrednim zanimanjem je poslušal in snemal na trak pripovedovanja treh, ki so gledali že smrt v oči. Grof Tolstoj nam je zagotovil, da bo knjiga, v kateri bo opisan križev pot, tisti, ki se je začel v Vetri-nju in končal že po končani vojni v množičnih grobovih onstran Karavank, že letos v pozni jeseni izšla. Kot nam je sporočil, je knjiga dokončana in napoved bo uresničena. Svetovna javnost bo tako končno podrobno izvedela za kramarsko kupčijo angleških mogotcev in za nezaslišano početje Titovih partizanov.
Grof Nikolaj Tolstoj je bil rojen pred petdesetimi leti v Angliji. Njegov oče je bil begunec, ki se je s svojimi starši, komaj 12 let star, prebijal preko Kitajske v svobodni svet, to po že končani ruski oziroma boljševiški revoluciji leta 1921. Sloviti ruski pisatelj Lev N. Tolstoj mu je bil pra-stric.
Grof Tolstoj obvlada več svetovnih jezikov in jasno je, da mu ruščina teče gladko, slovanski jeziki so mu pa izredno pri srcu. Ugotovili smo, da mu tudi marsikatera slovenska beseda ni tuja. Mož je izredno simpatičen. Stremi predvsem za to, da bo v zgodovinskih analih zapisana zgolj resnica, ne pa potvorbe raznih ideolo-
Sicer Vas bomo še opomnili, a vseeno Vas že danes opozarjamo, da bo piknik Slovenske šole pri Mariji Vnebovzeti v nedeljo, 7. julija, na Slovenski pristavi.
Vsem staršem, ki so to šolsko leto tako lepo sodelovali z Odborom staršev: prav lepa hvala! Vsem želi lepe počitnice

ških stremljenj.
»Izredno počaščenega se počutim!« nam je odgovoril, ko smo ga povabili na našo spominsko proslavo. V soboto in nedeljo, 15. in 16. junija, se je bo udeležil na Orlovem vrhu, po maši pa bo imel kratek priložnostni nagovor.
Brez dvoma je za nas Slovence izjemna, velika čast, da bo prišel med nas človek, ki ima dostop v najvišje angleške aristokratske kroge, hkrati pa čuti z nami in z usodo slovenskega naroda.
Zato se v soboto in nedeljo, 15. in 16. junija, strnimo na Slovenski pristavi v čim večjem številu, skupaj z brati iz Kanade, Argentine in celo daljne Avstralije, odkoder so nam napovedali svoj obisk. Prepričani smo, da bo vsak, ki poseduje narodno nošo, z veseljem in ponosom prišel pred kapelico Brezjanske Matere božje, tam pomolil za svoje rajne ter popestril svečanost, ki je namenjena vsem tistim, nad katerimi so se pred štiridesetimi leti zgrnili črni oblaki in jim je roka zaslepljenega brata -morilca pretrgala nit življen-

Bela Knjiga in spominske razglednice
TABOR Z.D.S.P.B. sporoča, da je druga, izpopolnjena izdaja Bele knjige slovenskega protikomunističnega upora te dni izšla. Vsebuje imena 13.222 slovenskih žrtev komunistične revolucije. Ta druga izdaja Bele knjige je bila pripravljena na osnovi podatkov, zbranih v prvi izdaji iz leta 1 970. in »Dopolnila« iz leta 1975., na novo pridobljenih podatkov ter na osnovi že leta 1945. izdelanega seznama pripadnikov slovenskega in gorenjskega domobranstva, zbranih v Vetrinju in nato vrnjenih v domovino.
Bela knjiga ni knjiga dokumentov. Po štirih desetletjih tudi ni mogoče jamčiti za točnost vseh podatkov, celotna dimenzija Vetrinjske tragedije pa je sedaj orisana in ohranjen je tudi spomin na vse tiste Slovence, ki so padli, bodisi kot žrtve komunistične revolucije v Sloveniji, bodisi v boju proti njej.
Dosledno bo skoro vsak izmed našel v knjigi ime svojega sorodnika, prijatelja ali znanca. Žal je knjiga še vedno zelo pomanjkljiva, ker še zdaleč ni popolna.
Sezite po Beli knjigi! Na razpolago bo 1 5. in 16. junija na Slovenski pristavi. Prav tako bo tam možno dobiti lepe spominske razglednice, ki smo jih nalašč za to priliko pripravili. Slike Vetrinja, poveljnika domobrancev generala Leona Rupnika, Kočevskega Roga, umetnega Teharskega jezera, pod katerim počivajo tisoči domobrancev, Spominskih križev v Midlandu in na Pristavi, Bele stene in kapelice, bodo brez dvoma res lep spomin na štirideseto obletnico Vetrinja.
Pridite na spominsko proslavo, pridite v narodni noši, da se skgpno poklonimo sporninu vseh in da pomolimo za pokoj duš tistih, ki so padli, da mi danes uživamo svobodo!

jateljsko razpoloženje z vzkliki: »Na mnoga zdrava leta, p. Kalist!«
Banketu je sledil krajši, prisrčen spored, katerega je pripravila mladjna. Slovenski dečki in deklice v narodnih nošah so izvedli ljubke otroške rajalne igre in folklorne plese z ozadjem mogočnega Triglava. Folklorno skupino že vrsto let vodi Corinne Leskovar, ki ima pravtako na skrbi slovensko-ameriško radio oddajo vsako nedeljo.
Izredno dobro je uspela predstava učencev naše farne šole, spremljana z blagoglasnim petjem mladih grl. Pripravila jih je najmlajša redovna sestra v zboru učiteljic s. Cynthia, ki se uči slovenščine, ker tako zelo občuduje slovensko petje. Pod vodstvom p. Vendelina, glasbenega strokovnjaka, je Mladinski orkester zaigral na razna glasbila same slovenske - znane narodne in vse na pamet.
Zlatomašniku so se nato poklonili in čestitali zastopniki mnogih cerkvenih in družabnih društev; član Holy Name društva mu je poklonil umetniško plaketo v zahvalo. Proslavo je zaključil p. Kalist sam z iskrenim govorom.
Rod bratov Langerholz je že zelo star. Njihovi predniki so trdni in ugledni knieljc, ki že
stoletja dolgo obdelujejo zemljo v okolici Stare Loke oziroma Škofje Loke. To so potomci tistih nemških kmetov, ki so jih škofje iz Freisinga na Bavarskem pred osmimi stoletji naselili ob obeh Sorah na Sorškem polju na Gorenjskem. Številna nemška imena v tej okolici še danes pričajo to zgodovino.
Po stoletjih so se kmetje na gruntih poslovenili, kar je menda v Sloveniji edinstveno. V zasedbi Gorenjske po Nemcih 1941-1945 so morali ti priznati, da so naleteli na poslovenjene Nemce. Le kako mora biti rod, ki obstoji stoletja dolgo, močan po telesu in po duši, da sploh obstane! Slovenski pisatelj Ivan Tavčar v svoji znameniti Visoški kroniki poleg mnogih imen omenja tudi naselnika Langerholza.
K močnemu rodu p. Kalistu tudi s te strani čestitamo!

Zdravnikovi nasveti:	Piše dr. Miloš Kralj
— Opekline in oparine —
Bralcem prinašamo zanimiv članek dr. Miloša Kralja, objavljenega v tržaškem slovenskem mesečniku Mladika (številka 9, 1984), v katerem poda dr. Kralj zelo koristne podatke v zvezi z opeklinami in oparinami. Ur.
Opekline lahko povzročijo suha vročina, plamen, vroč zrak, vroča kovina in sonce. Tudi močno trenje zaradi vrvi ali žice, ki drsi skozi zaprto dlan, povzroči opeklino.
Oparine nastanejo, kadar pride koža v dotik z vročimi tekočinami:	z vrelo vodo,
paro, mlekom, juho ali čajem, z vročo mastjo in vročim oljem. Oparine z vročimi maščobami so hujše od oparin z vročo vodo. 80% vseh oparin se dogodi pri otrocih.
Pri oceni vsake opekline in oparine je treba upoštevati površino opečene kože in globine hkrati. Čim večja je opečena površina, tem nevarnejše so spremembe, ki nastanejo v celem telesu. Prva in najvidnejša taka sprememba je šok. Do šoka pride, če je opečenih 15% odstotkov telesne površine. O težki opeklini pa govorimo, če je opečena več kot ena tretjina telesne površine ali pa če je opečenih več kot 10 odstotkov telesne površine in je opeklina tretje stopnje.
Obseg opečene površine lahko zelo enostavno izračunamo s takoimenovanim pravilom številke 9 (devet). Po tem pravilu znaša površina glave in vratu 9%, zgornjega uda, tj. roke, 9%, trupa spredaj 2-krat 9%, tj. 18%, trupa zadaj 2-krat 9%, tj. 18%, spodnjega uda, tj. noge 2-krat 9% ali 18%.
Po tem pravilu lahko na hitro izračunamo procent opečene površine, kar je zelo važno za presojo težkih opeklin. Pri vsaki opeklini pa moramo poleg obsega opečene kože upoštevati tudi globino opečenega tkiva. To je včasih težko oceniti celo zdravniku. Če opečeni govori: »Saj me ne boli in tudi gibljem se lahko,« to ni merilo.
Po globini razdelimo opekline na tri stopnje. Pri prvi stopnji je koža vroča, rdeča, zatekla in boleča. Govorimo o površinski opeklini, ker je opečena samo površinska kožna plast.
Pri opeklini druge stopnje imamo poleg znakov prve stopnje še večje ali manjše mehurje, ki so v začetku napolnjeni z bistro rumenkasto tekočino. Tudi opekline druge stopnje silno bolijo. Opekline druge stopnje so prav tako po-
vršinske, ker je opečen le vrhnji sloj kože.
Opekline tretje stopnje imenujemo globoke opekline. Opečena je cela debelina kože in cela debelina kože je uničena. V tretji stopnji se opeklina loči od oparine. Pri opeklini tretje stopnje je koža sivoru-meno rjavkasta, neobčutljiva in podobna usnju. Pri oparini tretje stopnje pa je koža sivkasto bela in na pritisk boli. Sama od sebe opeklina tretje stopnje ne boli, ker so uničeni tudi živci. Če opeklina peče in hudo boli, je to dober znak, če pa je usnjata, trda in temna, in ne boli, je to slabo znamenje.
Huda opeklina ubija prve dni zaradi šoka, nato pa zaradi infekcije. Šok nastane zaradi strašnih bolečin, ki so tako hude, da opečenec drhti po celem telesu. Do infekcije pa pride zaradi dotika opečene kože z bakterijami, predvsem pa zaradi nepravilne oskrbe opekline.
PRVA POMOČ
Zanima nas, kaj moramo storiti, kadar se opečemo sami ali se opeče nekdo v naši bližini. Opeklino najprej ohladimo, odvedemo njeno toplotno prodiranje v globino, tj. boj s sekundami.
Zato ne izgubljamo časa s slačenjem ožganih oblačil. Z opečeno roko hitro pod pipo z mrzlo vodo. Čimprej opekline oblijemo z mrzlo, čisto vodo. Če je blizu prha ali kopalna kad, opečenega čimprej kar v srajci in hlačah položimo v hladno vodo. Na ljubljanskem opeklinskem oddelku so zdravili prisebnega svetilničarja, ki se mu je v hipu vnela obleka. Na mah se je pognal v morje in jo je izkupil z razmeroma lahkimi opeklinami.
Opeklina naj bo pod hladno vodo toliko časa, da pekoča bolečina odneha. To se običajno zgodi najdlje po pol uri. Kjer obleka ni pripečena na kožo, jo lahko slečemo, potem ko smo oparino ali opeklino z obleko vred že ohladili s hladno vodo. ,
Če pa takojšnje hlajenje oparine z vodo ni bilo možno, moramo z vrelo tekočino prepojeno obleko čimprej sleči, ker bi sicer še naprej škodljivo delovala na kožo. Opeklina je odprta rana, zato se je čim
manj dotikajmo z nesterilnimi rokami ali predmeti.
Na opeklino ne dajemo nobenih mazil, olj in antibiotičnih posipov, prav tako ne jajčnega beljaka. Na opekline polagamo le obkladke s prekuhano ohlajeno vodo. Zato so najprimernejše prelikane plenice ali podobne mehke in zračne tkanine, kar se da na mehko položene. Preden lotimo obvezovanja, si dobro in temeljito umijemo in razkužimo roke. Opečeni ud imobili-ziramo, opečenega obraza ali vek ne obvezujemo. Manjše opekline obvežemo s za to posebno oblogo, ki jo je priporočljivo imeti doma v zavoju za prvo pomoč.
Razumljivo je, da je treba najprej pogasiti ogenj, če je zajel ponesrečenca. Kjer ni pri roki čiste hladne vode, posebno če na koži gori vnetljiva tekočina, npr. petrolej ali bencin in če se vnamejo obleka in lasje, ga pokrijemo s ponjavo, preprogo, plaščem, da gorenju preprečimo dostop zraka.
Kogar je zajel ogenj, naj ne teka naokrog, ker prepih še neti plamen. Vrže naj se na tla in se valja, dokler mu ne pride pod roke stvar, s katero lahko pogasi ogenj.
Kadar je prevoz v zdravstveno ustanovo kratek, naj opečeni ne pije ničesar. Zdravljenje opekline zahteva narkozo in zato je bolje, če je želodec prazen. Če pa je treba na prevoz čakati dlje časa in je pot v bolnišnico daljša, opečeni lahko večkrat po malem pije hladen sladek čaj ali limonado. Na liter čaja ali soka se doda malo žličko jedilne sode ali kuhinjske soli, da se oblaži šok.
Hude opekline zdravimo po metodi čimprejšnje operacije

Memo From Madeline
Congratulations to all the Graduates
by MADELINE DEBEVEC
Traditionally this is the time of year to honor all of our graduates. The American Home salutes each student who made it through the years of studies and were rewarded with a diploma. A special salute to those who also worked during the school term.
Senator Mark O. Hatfield told John Carroll University graduates recently to live their lives, “with a newspaper in one hand, and a bible in the other,” quoting 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard.
“Newspapers tell of the hopelessness of poverty, hunger, the arms race, tensions among superpowers, conflict in Central America and the loneliness of the elderly,” Hatfield said.
The bible, on the other hand, is a “living example of life, a blueprint of hope.” Hatfield further remarked, “Either we sacrifice our idols to God, or we sacrifice God to our idols.”

On Sunday, May 26 more than 1,000 persons attended a Memorial Service at St. John Cathedral remembering the 40th anniversary of the death of 12,000 unarmed Slovenian refugees, men, women and children, and also for the American Slovenian patriots who gave their lives in defense of freedom in World War II, Korea and the Vietnam War. The Most Rev. Bishop A. Edward Pevec, Vicar of the Eastern Region Diocese of Cleveland, Was the main celebrant.
The bishop delivered a message of forgiveness. He said, “It may be in God’s plan that each nation has to contribute a certain number of martyrs. The time has come for our nation to offer its martyrs. This is a very bitter experience for us — humanly speaking — but for God it is simple and easy.
“In my daily prayers I plead with God to gather these martyrs around the Lord, and to shorten the days of our trials.”

The Board of Directors of the St. Clair Slovenian National Home and all persons attending events there in the future will be in for a pleasant surprise later this summer. A most generous Slovenian philanthropist will be donating a huge object to the Home, but he asked us not to reveal his name at present, nor what the gift will be. We can give a hint, however, it will be a crystal clear shining example for all those who love to dance in the sparkling moonlight.

West Park Slovenian Home says thanks
Editor American Home Publishing:
At the end of one of the loveliest spring days April 13th came to a conclusion that evening as many friends of ^est Park Slovene Home j-uuie through the doors to elp us celebrate our 65th year- There seemed to be an air of enjoyment and anticipa-t'on. The entire evening was Un to host as the reflection of aPPy faces, parties of friends anced and made merry.
take this opportunity to exPress our appreciation to ^oryone attending; the many I areholders and friends of all Homes. We especially tank all guests for the many °ntributions, gifts, tributes n Proclamations.
^ any guests didn’t take to review the artifacts, Huntings ar>d needlework of e Slovene Art Guild they
missed a very interesting display of talent. Maria Dimitrejevic is an enthusiastic supporter and artist of the guild who maintains a fantastic album of memorable events and shows of the guild. She does exceptional intricate Petit Point needlecraft and her specialty of Easter Egg handcraft. Maria was in charge of the display with Honorary Guest Anna Jesenko, 83 years of age, on hand to show her hand work of Bobbin Lace, almost a lost art, still done in her village of Yugoslavia, Zira. She keeps it alive by teaching the art to individuals. It is still done in Europe and has been for resale since Anna was a child. In her village at the time it was their source of income; now it is a form a relaxation for Anna.
We salute the Art Guild and these two ladies for their
talent, enthusiasm and personal commitment.
Thank you for our publications and editing.

Disappointed
Editor:
On behalf of St. Vitus Post 1655, I would like to express our disappointment in your May 24th edition of the American Home newspaper.
This is the FIRST TIME in over thirty years that our list of deceased members has not appeared in the Memorial Day publication. We find it inexcusable for your publication to ignore such a tradition.
Many of our members were hurt by your seeming disregard of our deceased members and their family and friends. It would seem that the list of our deceased members would take precedent over a list of antique cars! We are also confused as to why you, as a member of our own post, would chose to delete this list in question.
Upon contacting your office, Mrs. Debevec informed me there was not ample time to place the article. However, the article was dropped off Monday, a full two days before your stated deadline of noon on Wednesday.
Being that we are a long time supporter of this newspaper, the Post would appreciate seeing these names published in your Memorial Day edition next year.
Sincerely,
Steve Piorkowski
Commander St. Vitus Post 1655 Editor’s response:
Dear Steve:
Thank you for your letter of May 28 and 1 agree with you that 30 years is a long time. As a matter of fact it has been our honor to publish the names of all the deceased St. Vitus Catholic War Veterans for over 35 years. We are proud of the fact that we have donated hundreds of inches of space during that time to the war vets. Each year, sadly to say, the list of names of the deceased members of your excellent organization grows longer and longer where the space allocated has grown from 8 inches in 1950 to a quarter of a page last year.
The list of names for 1985 was NOT given to us on Monday as you claim, but rather after the office was closed on TUESDAY night. The list was addressed to Madeline Debevec and when it was discovered on Wednesday morning, it was placed on her desk. Because we had a great deal of material to be printed in that week’s editon, we decided to print 12 pages instead of the usual eight, even though there was no extra advertising to pay for the added four pages, but we did this as a service to our readers and the Slovenians who had submitted articles about Al I deceased Slovenians, not just those belonging to one club. We honored their wishes and printed ALL articles received. Because we wanted the paper to reach ALL subscribers in the greater Cleveland area before Memorial Day, we printed on Thursday afternoon.

did receive the paper either on Friday or Saturday through the mails.
When we print on Thursday, as previously announced, the deaHline moves up one day. However, even though the editor received your list of deceased and a notice of a Mass for the members on Wednesday afternoon, we deleted another article which was already in the pages and placed, as usual, free of charge a 10-inch advertisement for the St. Vitus Catholic War Veterans which appeared on page six, right next to Father Božnar’s article.
Yes 1 am a member of your outstanding organization and was recruited some years ago by Joseph Baškovič. My wife and I have throughout the years purchased all your raffle tickets and supported all your fund raising efforts when you were criticizing the membership (in your newsletter) for not being active. As a matter of fact we were honored to be singularly selected by you in your December 1984 War Vets Newsletter as examples of being outstanding members.
Last Novepiber my wife and I attended the Anniversary Banquet and Dance of the St. Vitus War vets. As a result of that gathering, we placed in the American Home newspaper a FULL PAGE of photos and story which we personally took and wrote.
We are happy you are, “a long time supporter of this newspaper,” but were disappointed a month after we donated a full page to the St. Vitus War Vets, you were the only group out of our hundreds of supporters who refused for the first time in years to place a Christmas greetings ad in the American Home newspaper.
All contributers to the American Home or any newspaper in the world know that any lengthy article should be submitted at the very least, a week in advance. The article which you criticized (Remember the Old Cars) was given to us by our loyal reader Stan Erzen some four weeks prior to publication and due to the fact we were printing extra pages that week with an earlier deadline, the article fitted perfectly into place. Mr. Erzen did a tremendous amount of research at the Euclid Library for the story and we think he did an excellent job.
We hope we can be of further service to the St. Vitus Post 1655 Catholic War Veterans in the future. We are delighted to have donated thousands of dollars in American Home space to the Vets in the past and look forward to continuing to do so in the future.

Low attendance at Auxiliary meeting due to date mixup
Over 200 persons dressed in Slovenian costumes marched to St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Cleveland on Sunday, May 26 as part of the gathering of over 1,000 persons who took part in a memorial Mass for all Slovenians who died during and immediately after the Second World War and in subsequent wars. The day’s events were under the guidance of Bishop Edward Pevec and Monsignor Louis B. Baznik. Dozens of priests from all over northern Ohio participated in the liturgy. Bishop Pevec gave the homily in which he urged Slovenians to follow the example of Jesus Christ who forgave his murderers saying, “Forgive them. Father, for they know not what they do.” The bishop implored those present to do likewise.

Agent orange
On Thursday, June 6 at 8:30 a.m. on Cleveland’s public radio station WCPN an interview was given to a Red Cross worker who is at the tornado disaster area in Ohio.
He was asked what good had he done there. His only story was about a little girl who came up to the Red Cross wagon one morning and was looking longingly at the food there. “So we gave her an orange,” the worker said with pride in his voice. He then added that later during the afternoon, the same girl came back and again was searching for something to eat. He again gave her another orange.
Then he remarked that if you could see the happy look on the little girl’s face, you would know that the trip there was worthwhile.
To that I say, “bull-—.” If a Slovenian mother, or father, or grandparent, or teen, or young adult had been there that little girl would have been fed a decent meal. And they wouldn’t have coaxed the public for funds to do it with either; the money would have
come out of their own pocket if necessary. A Slovenian would have made sure the girl had plenty to eat, period. No one goes away from a responsible Slovenian hungry — it’s like a mortal sin to deny food. A Slovenian would give up their own meal, their last penny and made sure the tornado victim was taken care of. And they would not go on public radio to brag about it, either.
If society can’t do better than that, we better reevaluate our responsibilities.
An orange, indeed!

The Slovene Home for the Aged held its monthly meeting May 23 in the Laurich Room at the SHA. Unfortunately, the attendance was too low to have a quorum. Evidently many of the members failed to note there are five Thursdays in May and assumed we were to meet on the last Thursday of the month. The Auxiliary meets every fourth Thursday of the month.
Normally we do not meet in August but since the Auxiliary is sponsoring a Card Party to be held on Friday, Sept. 13, at St. Mary’s Hall on Holmes Avenue, your help will be needed. Won’t you please come to the meeting or at least volunteer your services for that evening by calling Ann Terček, vice-president, at 261-3615 if you are able to help.
Mary Price, Mary Stražišar, Ann Terček, and Jo Trunk were commended for their time and effort in distributing to the SHA residents the Mother’s Day boutonnaires which were so beautifully made by Gene Drobnič. Gene remarked, “The hardest part was to makp them so everything which was wired
