Francoska in izraelska letala napadla
oporišča muslimanskih skrajnežev
BEJRUT, Libanon — Včeraj so francoska bojna letala bombardirala položaje v vzhodni libanonski dolini Bekaa, kjer so nastanjeni muslimanski skrajneži, ki so tesno povezani z Iranom. Francoski napad je bilo maščevalnega značaja in sicer povračilo za bombni atentat v Bejrutu 23. oktobra, v katerem je bilo ubitih 58 francoskih padalcev. Libanonski policisti trdijo, da je bilo ubitih v včerajšnjem francoskem napadu 39 oseb, ranjenih pa je najmanj 150.
Predvčerajšnim so pa izraelska bojna letala bombardirala položaje muslimanskih skrajnežev v vzhodnem delu Bekaa, komaj 3 milje od sirijske meje. Dobro poučeni viri, ki so videli posledice tega napada, poročajo, da so izraelski piloti zadeli cilje in da je uničenih več stavb in skladišč orožja in streliva. Krščanski radio poroča, daje padlo najmanj 30 oseb, več kot 50 pa je ranjenih. Tudi izraelski napad je bilo maščevalno dejanje, tokrat za bombni atentat v mestu Tyre, v južnem Libanonu, v katerem je bilo ubitih 29 izraelskih vojakov.
V Washingtonu, D.C. trdijo v Pentagonu in Beli hiši, da so vedeli vnaprej za francoski napad in so podprli akcijo. Ako bi Francozi takega napada ne izvedli, bi ga morali najbrž mi, je dejal nek neimenpvani funkcionar novinarju. Še vedno so govorice v ameriškem glavnem mestu, da bodo tudi sile ZDA izvedle maščevalni napad na eno ali drugo muslimansko skupino, o kateri je znano, da podpira teroristične napade zoper ameriške in druge vojake, ki sodelujejo v mednarodni mirovni enoti v Bejrutu in okolici.
Ta teden so začele ZDA zamenjati enoto, razredčeno v bombnem atentatu, v kate-rem je padlo 239 vojakov, z novo, ki bo prevzela iste položaje.
Ciperski Turki proglasili neodvisno državo — Grki jezni — ZDA proti — Turčija za
NIKOSIA, Ciper — Pretekli torek so voditelji turške manjšine na Cipru proglasili Ustanovitev nove države na tem sicer majh-nem otoku v severovzhodnem delu Sredozemskega morja. Ciperska vlada, ki je v ro-tah grške večine, je seveda trdila, da je proglasitev neodvisnosti nezakonita in nevelja-Vna. Isto je trdila Grčija, turška vlada pa je takoj priznala novo državo. O zadevi bodo razpravljali v Združenih državah.
Sovraštvo med grško večino in turško manjšino na otoku traja stoletja. Do krize je Prišlo 1. 1974, ko je Turčija poslala redne vojaške enote na otok in zasedla severni del. ^a otoku je še vedno 25.000 turških voja-*°v. Ciper je bil dejansko razdeljan v dva ^da, Turki na severu in Grki na jugu. Proglasitev neodvisnosti turškega dela otoka je logična posledica dolgotrajne napetosti ne samo med prebivalci otoka, marveč tudi med frčijo in Turčijo.
Spor med državama povzroča težave za ZDa ker sta tako Turčija kot Grčija člana , skoraj sta pa v vojnem razmerju. V jPPeriškem kongresu imajo Grki prednost, er je med kongresniki in senatorji več, ki so gtŠkega rodu, mnogi drugi so pa pod priti-^m grških skupin, bivajočih v njih božjih ali zveznih državah. Turki pa v jeznem kongresu običajno niso zastopani.
ruga težava v tem oziru za Turke je, da je v 2veznem kongresu tudi nekaj kongresnikov armenskega rodu, ki pa tudi niso naklonjeni
turškemu stališču. S tem dejstvom morajo računati tudi zvezne administracije in Pentagon, ki so bolj naklonjene Turčiji radi varnostnih razlogov.
Sovjeti zavrnili najnovejšo Reaganovo pobudo za pospeševanje pogajanj v Ženevi
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Včeraj je ZSSR zavrnila predlog predsednika Reagana, katerega namen je bil pospešiti oziroma dvigniti z mrtve točke pogajanja o omejevanju tekme obeh velesil v jedrskem oboroževanju, katera potekajo v Ženevi, Švica. V svoji izjavi so Sovjeti dejali, da so pripravljeni opustiti pogajanja, ker ne kažejo najmanjše možnosti, da bi vodila do kakega sporazuma.
Stališče ZDA je, da že imajo Sovjeti premoč v raketah srednjega dometa, take, ki bi lahko zadele Zahodno Evropo. Zaradi te premoči ZSSR, so ZDA in druge NATO države sklenile, da bodo postavili več sto novih in zelo učinkovitih ameriških Pershing II in »cruise« misilov, ki imajo seveda jedrske naboje in ki lahko dosežejo cilje v vzhodni Evropi in zahodnem delu ZSSR v nekaj minutah. Znano je, da so Sovjeti zelo zaskrbljeni nad prihodom teh novih raket, niso pa pripravljeni pristati na resnejša pogajanja, po katerih bi lahko obe strani znižali število raket z jedrskimi naboji.
kot kaže,' v ZSSR nimajo nobenega upanja, da bi lahko uspela pogajanja z ZDA, dokler bo Ronald Reagan predsednik. V za sovjetske razmere pogostih stikih z zahodnimi novinarji, poudarjajo razni sovjetski funkcionarji, da se bo slabšanje v odnosih med ZSSR in ZDA nadaljevalo.
Vedno več govoric o zdravstvenem stanju Jurija Andropova
LONDON, V. Br. — Sovjetski voditelj Jurij Andropov se ni pokazal v javnosti vse od avgusta. Sovjeti doslej niso pojasnili, zakaj Andropova ni videti. Zahodnim vladam je baje znano le, da ima Andropov težave z ledvicami in srcem.
Preteklo sredo je pa londonski list Daily Express objavil članek, v katerem trdi, da je bil Andropov žrtev atentata. Po tem članku naj bi ga ustrelil in laže ranil Jurij Brežnjev, 51-letni sin Leonida Brežnjeva, in sicer radi nekega družinskega prepira.
Po tej verziji, naj bi Andropov pred smrtjo L. Brežnjeva vodil kampanjo zoper Brežnjevovo družino, posebno je bila kritizirana Galina Brežnjev, ki je izrabljala položaj svojega očeta, da bi bila brez posledic vpletena v raznih korupcijah.
Jasir Arafat v obupnem položaju
TRIPOLI, Libanon — Ta teden so uporniki v PLO, ki nasprotujejo Jasirju Arafatu, zasedli palestinsko taborišče Bada-wi, severno od mesta Tripolija. S tem je Arafat izgubil zadnjo j?omembno postajo. Sedaj se nahaja v od upornikov obkoljenem Tripoliju. Uporniki pravijo, da ne želijo napasti mesto, da pa mora Arafat zapustiti mesto in Libanon sploh.
Arafat sam pravi, da bo ostal v Tripoliju. V mestu je več zahodnih novinarjev, Arafat pa ima dnevne tiskovne konference. Njegovi borci bodo vztrajali, pravi, vendar neodvisni analitiki menijo, da ima Arafat sedaj morda komaj 200 oboroženih oseb, ki bi bili pripravljeni s silo kljubovati upornikom.
Uporniki so dejansko odvisni od Sirij-cev, po odhodu Arafata po torej nemogoče govoriti o PLO kot neodvisni organizaciji.

Politika in politiki
II. Politiki
Politiko delajo — politiki. Dobri bo navadi dobro, slabi slabo. Od svobodnih ljudi svobodno izvoljeni politični predstavniki se stalno zavedajo, da so za svoje politično (pa večkrat tudi nepolitično) delovanje pod nadzorstvom svojih volivcev, in pod tem vidikom večidel tudi ravnajo. Toda noben javni pokret ni izpostavljen tako močnim in raznovrstnim vplivom in pritiskom od strani raznih sektorjev družbenega življenja in od posameznikov kot je politka, se pravi: politik, ki jo dela. Da se more takim skušnjavam, zapeljevanju in pritiskanju uspešno ustavljati, potrebuje trdnost značaja in prav posebno ostrino duha, da more razločevati etično in moralno dovoljeno od nedovoljenega.
Nikoli se ne sme pozabiti, da so politiki tudi ljudje z vrlinami in slabostmi kot je sleherni človek. Vrh tega politični človek ni kak puhloglavec, ampak redno intelektualno nadpovprečen, široko razgledan, podjeten in prebrisan, pa skrajno ambiciozen tip državljana. Ravno ambiciija, hrepenenje po javnem uveljavljanju je skoraj redno bistvena poteza njegovega značaja. Kajti uspešno delo v politiki ni nikakor kaka sinekura lagodne brezbrižnosti, marveč zelo zahteven in odgovoren posel.
Kadar politične ljudi tako ocenjujemo — in naše ocena se zdi objektivno pravilna — pridemo kaj lahko do sklepa, da se v politiko morejo vriniti tudi individui visoke intelektualne sposobnosti, pa nizke moralne kvalitete, iskalci lastne, osebne koristi in ne dobrin družbe, ki jo zastopajo. Takšni tipi, ki se spozabijo celo v podkupovanje za osebno obogatitev, so sicer redno v veliki manjšini, a ko se odkrijejo njihova nepoštena, celo kaznjiva dejanja v izvrševanju svoje politične naloge, pade temna senca sumnje na vse njihove politične sodelavce brezmadežnega karakterja in delovanja, in tudi na politično akcijo sdmo. Piše se na dolgo in široko po časopisih in razglaša glasno iz televizijskih aparatov o stranpotih morda enega ali majhne peščice političnih predstavnikov in se podrobno razlagajo njihovi grehi, med tem ko se o dosežkih velike večine njihovih kolegov komaj zapiše ali izreče beseda priznanja in pohvale.
Iz take situacije se le prerada rodi ljudska sodba: »Say so vsi enaki«, namreč taki, kot opisujejo javna občila tiste posamezne politike, ki so svojo politično funkcijo zlorabili v nečedne zasebne ali klikarske namene. Je najbrž že res, da je politične korupcije več kot jo morejo odkriti iznajdljivi in detektivsko nabrisani časnikarski poročevalci, vendar je sodba, da so »vsi enaki« skrajno pretirana, absolutno krivična. A iz take obsodbe se izcimlja javno mnenje, da je politika kot taka nekaj nečednega, zaničevanja in prezira vrednega, nekaj čemur se pošten državljan izmika in s čemer noče imeti opravka. Slika je spačena, in kdor je vanjo zagledan, kaže veliko pomanjkljivost v objektivnem presojanju.
Imamo v glavnem dve vrsti političnih javnih delavcev, namreč takih, ki so bili na svoja mesta direktno izvoljeni od ljudstva, in takih, ki so svoje politične funkcije prejeli od pristojne oblasti (vlade). O teh drugih ne bomo govorili, dolga vrsta jih je, od sekretarjev (v Ameriki) raznih departmentov in njihovih štabov, do zadnjega krajevnega funkcionarja, ki poli-

Ob 14. obletnici smrti dr. Miha Kreka
CLEVELAND, O. - V kanadskem delu Ameriške Domovine od \5. novembra 1983 je bil objavljen za ta mesec primeren članek »Mesec hvaležnosti pokojnim«. Piseč članka P.M. se je v tem članku lepo in s hvaležnostjo spomnil tudi dr. Miha Kreka, ki je umrl pred 14 leti. Članek zaključuje: »Sedaj so že objavljeni dokumenti, ki dr. Krekove osebnosti ne samo ne obremenjujejo, ampak mu dajo celo priznanje in pohvalo. Bil bi torej že čas, da bi med Slovenci zmagala poštenost in bi priznali: Delali smo mu krivico!«
To bi pravzaprav moralo zadostovati. Toda pred nedavnim sem bral v kanadski Slovenski državi - julij-avgust 1983 med drugim sledeče: »G. univ. profesor in gl. urednik Slovenca mi je še poln življenja in dela zaupal skrivnost, ki pa naj bo danes javna: ‘Dragi, nič nismo mogli storiti, saj sem ministra dr. Miha Kreka takorekoč za frak držal, da ni za Snojem odletel k Titu’. Celjan A. Skoberne«.
Ker dotični gospod več ne živi, je A. Skoberne mogel šele po njegovi smrti javnost povedati skrivnost, ki mu jo je zaupal, katere pa v nobeni korespondenci dotičnega gospoda ni mogoče najti. Če je dotični gospod res kaj takšnega rekel, ali če si je g. Skoberne to sam izmislil, ostane ta izjava velika politična izmišljotina in zlonamerno podtikanje.
Vsak objektiven poznavalec razmer v jeseni 1944, ko je Snoj v sporazumu z dr. Kuharjem odletel v Slovenijo k Titovim partizanom, je že davno ugotovil, da sta se dr. Krek in dr. Kuhar takrat popolnoma razšla in sta se pomirila šele v emigraciji.
Mnogo dr. Krekovih zapiskov je že bilo objavljenih,
posebno teh, ki obravnavajo zavezniški politični preokret leta 1944. Prav ti originalni zapiski iz tistih časov dokazujejo, da je dr. Krek takrat mnogo boljše poznal položaj kot tisti, ki mu še danes nasprotujejo, a so ob usodnih odločitvah čisto drugače govorili. Ti dr. Krekovi zapiski pa po objavi zgodovinskih zapiskov grofa Nikolaja Tolstoja »Celovška zarota« dobijo še značilen pomen, kar smo prej prezrli.
Dr. Miha Krek je v jeseni 1944 tako-le presojal položaj:
Rim, 14. julija 1944 — Pismo kralju Petru II.:
» Vaše Veličanstvo! — Nova vlada, a naročilo poziv pret-sednika vlade, da se vsi okupi-mo oko vojske maršala Tita, je za Srbe i Slovence izaziva-nje, uvreda i nesreča. Mislim, da u zemlji neče imati nikak-vog rezultata, a bilo bi strašno ako bi ovde u inozemstvu Šu-bašič počeo da tera naše ofici-re i vojnike u Titove redove. To bi znočilo gurati ih na veša-
la....Slovenci neče ni po koju
cenu pod Tita. Imamo sada organizovanih oko 20.000 ljudi, koji če se protiv partizana boriti do kraja. To stanje u zemlji ne može da izmeni nika-kva politika spolja...« Dr. Miha Krek.
Rim, 14. julija 1944 — Pismo dr. Kuharju: »Sedaj se vse boji, kaj bo. Ali bo Šuba-šič silil vse, da gredo v Titovce. To bi pomenilo gotovo smrt za mnoge, ki so imeli s partizani praske in dolgotrajne prepire v taboriščih ....To je sedaj konkretno najtežje vprašanje, ki je nastalo kot posledica Šuba-šičeve izjave, da se mora vse zbrati pod Titovo zastavo...«
Rim, 16. julija 1944: »Včeraj je Šubašič pozval v Caserto gg. Topaloviča, gen. Jovanoviča in Glišiča ter Smiljaniča.
V ČASTEN SPOMIN
Danes, 18. novembra 1983, je 14. obletnica, odkar nas je zapustil
DR. MIHA KREK
predsednik Narodnega odbora za Slovenijo, dolgoletni minister v domovini, podpredsednik emigracijske vlade v Londonu, predsednik Slovenske Krščanske Demokracije — S.L.S., podpredsednik Krščansko-Demokratske zveze za Srednjo Evropo itd.
Enak z enakimi je delil usodo begunstva, reševal narod iz taborišč, ga usmerjal v nova blagostanja, združeval različna mnenja v demokratsko politično sožitje in v postavljanje skupnih ciljev, povezoval slovensko emigracijo v svetu in z vsemi napori pripravljal pot novi svobodi v domovini v krščanstvu in demokraciji.
Slovenski narod mu je in mu bo ostal hvaležen!
NARODNI ODBOR ZA SLOVENIJO 18. novembra 1983.
Bilo je posvetovanje, v katerem je hotel Šubašič vedeti, .... kako likvidirati Mihajlovi-ča, da se Srbi ne bi pobunili .... Mene Šubašič niti ni obvestil o tem.
Pazljivo preberite ta stavek:
16. julija 1944: »Danes so glavna pogajanja, ki jim prisostvuje Marušič, Vuksanovič in še posebni odposlanec Tita. Tam so tudi general Wilson, Murphy in MacMillan.«
Grof Nikolaj Tolstoj v »Ce- , lovški zaroti« ne omenja tega sestanka. Toda v zvezi z Vetrinjsko tragedijo so znana imena gen. Murphy in po Nikolaju Tolstoju usodna vloga Mac-Millana pri vračanju domobrancev, četnikov in kozakov.
Na tistem sestanku pa je tudi bil dr. Drago Marušič, bivši ban Dravske banovine. Ali so se na tistem posvetovanju tudi pogovarjali o usodi domobrancev?
Rim, 25. oktobra 1944 — dr. Krek: »Od mene dr. Suba-šič nikdar ni iskal nič drugeg0 kot da se stranka potopi v partizane. Nikdar ni bilo ponude-no, da bi kdo v imenu stranke šel v vlado. Nasprotno, ta vlada (Šubašičeva) je od vsega početka proti naši stranki. To mi je Šubašič v obraz povedal in se izgovarjal, da Titovd smatrajo poleg Mihajloviča S. L. S. za naj ostrejšega sovražnika. Marušič je celo odklonit, da bi dr. Kuharja zaprisegel...«
»Politično sem ves ta Čas držal tole linijo: Proti partizanom. Oni so trenutno največje interno zlo .... Sedaj smo pod' tično na tleh. Zgodilo se Je> kar nihče ni pričakoval-Angleži so prepustili Rusott1 dejansko vso Poljsko, Čeh°' slovaško, Ogrsko, Romunij0’ Bolgarijo, Jugoslavijo. R^11 so svoj vpliv v Grčiji in niji...

Če si že dobil prepise nosi predstavk Vatikanu, $Pe manu, kanadskemu kardina Murphyju, boš videl, da povsod ponavlja ta želja in m sel...«
Dr. Krek je že v jeseni opozarjal Vatikan, an8le^f]ne ameriške vojaške in c‘vl. tj oblasti, da če bodo v Jugoslaviji prevzeli naj pričakujejo okrog beguncev v Avstrijo in Ita Ker je angleška vlada smatrao dr.

Politika in politiki
(Nadaljevanje z 2. str.)
0 14. obletnici dr. Miha Kreka
tične posle v svojem okolišu opravlja. Sem spada vsa zunanjepolitična služba diplomatov (ambasadorjev) in njihovih pomočnikov, vojaških atašejev itd.
Bolj nas zanima prva vrsta, kamor sodijo vsi izvoljeni politiki od predsednika federalne Republike, prek državnih guvernerjev do zadnjega zakonodajalca v okrajnih in občinskih skupščinah. Za te pravzaprav gre, kadar se govori o »umazani« politiki; te je imel v mislih brat Silvester, ko je razlagal teorijo o stiskanju mačjih repov. Za te politične predstavnike se namreč vodi volivna borba med raznimi kandidati za •sto mesto, v tej borbi se vnamejo razprtije in včasih huda in ostra nasprotstva, ki razcepijo ljudi v razne skupine in tu pa tam prestopijo meje primernosti in dostojnosti. V tem je zapo-Padeno stiskanje mačjih repov, v demokraciji skoraj neizogib-no, ker demokratski sistem nudi volivcu izbiro, kar je bistvo Prave demokracije. V diktatorskih sistemih ni stiskanja repov, vse je odločeno vnaprej na vrhu, koga naj ljudstvo »voli«.
Vsaka tekma za zmago zahteva učinkovita sredstva, ki se jih tekmovalci poslužujejo. Izbira takih sredstev včasih (ali dostikrat?) udari čez mejo. Kandidati obljubljajo volivcem vse •nogoče stvari, ki jih ti radi slišijo, pa po izvolitvi nanje pozabijo, saj največkrat nisi niti dosegljive. Na misel mi prihaja tipičen primer iz volivnih dogodkov v predvojni Jugoslaviji. V •tekem srbskem voli vnem okrožju je eden izmed kandidatov za Poslanca v beograjsko skupščino obljubil ljudem, da bo poskrbel za graditev mostu. Pa mu eden iz množice poslušalcev zakliče, da v njihovem okrožju ni nobene reke. Ne da bi kaj razmišljal, mu kandidat odvrne: »Pa mi vam čemo ustvariti i reku!« Volivne kampanje so natrpane z demagogijo in nesmi-slom, ki kdaj pa kdaj učinkuje, dostikrat pa udari nazaj. Je Pač odvisno od inteligentnosti posameznega volivca, kadar je Popolnoma svoboden, da voli po svojem prepričanju in zavrača vsako karkšno koli podkupovanje.
Izvoljene politike javno mnenje ob volitvah skrbno prereka skozi gosto rešeto. Vendar se med pšenico prerine skozi rešeto kakšna ljuljka, bister, sposoben kandidat, ki je podvržen bacilu korupcije. Nikjer pod soncem pa ni tako plodovitih lal za bujno rast korupcije kot ravno v politiki. Prilik, vablji-vih priložnosti za zlorabo ljudskega zaupanja je vse polno. Saj Sega politika v vse branže družbene svtarnosti.
Ali mislite, da oborožen upor domobrancev med vojno zoper brezbožno nasilje OF ni bila politika? Seveda je bila! A bila je politika božjih otrok, ki so šli v boj in mučeniško smrt ^ obrambo ideje o božjem kraljestvu na zemlji. Bili so pomočeni zaradi te ideje, radi česar njihova politika spada pred ol-ter in na prižnico.
Mi vsi v svobodnem svetu smo poklicani in dolžni postati misijonarji te politike za rešitev naroda v domovini.

Gabrovšku v Ameriko: »Govoril sem z angleškim častnikom, ki je pred nekaj dnevi bil pri Mihi. Pravi, da Miha uživa pri najvišjih zaveznikih velik ugled in spoštovanje, ker se toliko muči za begunce. Hranijo pa se vsi, tudi Mihovi, v skupni menaži.«

Vreme in bolezni
Dokazano je, da nekatere vremenske razmere slabo vplivajo na zdravje ljudi, poslabšajo posamezne bolezni ali pa celo povročijo izbruh. Zato ni odveč vedeti, v kakšnem vremenu se nas pogosto loti ta ali ona bolezen.
Prehladov je najmanj septembra, največ pa februarja in marca. Kihajo in curi iz nosa ljudem pogosto tedaj, ko temperatura pada, veča pa se vla-ženost zraka.
Za epidemijo gripe je na zahodni polobli najprimernejši čas od decembra do februarja, južno od ravnika pa od junija do avgusta. Tudi za tifusom ljudje ne obolevajo kadarkoli, nevarnost je v zahodni Evropi največja od maja do septembra,
Evropejce srčna kap najbolj pogosto zadene januarja in februarja, varnejši so julija in avgusta, na jugu ZDA pa je prav narobe.
Tudi napadi bronhialne astme se ravnajo po vremenu, znatno več jih je v hladnejših razdobjih.

ODPRTO PISMO
Jerneji Petrič, urednici antologije »Naši na tujih tleh«, v Ljubljani:
Vaša lepa, sicer pristranska knjiga o slovenski književnosti v Ameriki mi oživlja spomine na mnoge v njej predstavljene ter na sodelovanje z njimi v dvajsetih letih in celo pozneje, ko nisem več ime! vezi z naselišči rojakov. Gre Vam zasluženo priznanje in pohvala za truda potno delo.
Nikake pohvale pa ne more biti glede vedenja pokojnega Louisa Adamiča, ki je, kot pišete, označi! moja stališča za reakcionarna. Vem, da me je svojim privržencem predstavljal kot »center reakcije v Pentagonu« ter jim celo naročal, da me morajo ustreliti. Zdaj Vi to zlobno norost o reakciji ponavljate. Ne oporekam, ko me s svojo tovarišijo vred tako opravljate; osramočenega bi se čutil, če bi me prištevali k Vašemu »naprednemu« taboru.
Nepoštenosti mi v vsem dolgem življenju še ni-kdo ni očital. Zdaj ste me Vi obdolžili nepoštenja do Adamiča. Kako si drznete kaj takega napisati! Svoje pripovedovanje o Adamiču lahko dokumentiram in ničesar nisem da! v javnost, da bi njegovo osebnost obrekoval. Objavil sem le, kar je bito potrebno v po-jasnjenje mojega stališča ter posledic njegove hudobne gonje proti meni. Pišete, da je moje pisanje sporno. Resnica je mogoče sporna samo po Vaši ideologiji. V svoji naslednji knjigi [1981] sem spet, kot »reackcionar«, omenja! Adamiča, da je služil Sovjetom, zapeljeval poštene rojake, hkrati izkoriščal jugoslovansko kraljevsko vlado, nato še titovsko, in vse za plačilo!
Očitati nepoštenje je krivično. Postavi! bi Vas lahko na zatožno klop, v Ameriki prav zatrdno. Ker bi kaj takega, tudi če bi bila prilika, ne hotel, bi Vas samo brcnil, saj si lahko mislite, kam...
Sram Vas bodi!
Andrej Kobal
(To »odprto pismo« je bilo že objavljeno v Slovenski državi. G. Kobal je isto pismo naslovil na urednika A.D. s prošnjo za objavo, odlašal pa sem, ker bi mnogi rojaki, ki seveda Petričeve knjige ne poznajo, vsebine povsem ne razumeli. Ker sem pa sedaj objavil oceno dr. Tineta Debeljaka o tej Petričevi knjigi, mislim, da bodo bralci lažje razumeli, za kaj se gre. Osnovno stališče do Adamiča in seveda do njegovih kritikov odloča slovenska oz. jugoslovanska komunistična partija. Raziskovalci iz Slovenije, ki želijo kaj objaviti o Adamiču, morajo tem navodilom slediti, ako želijo nadaljevati svoje kariere. V manjših zadevah so brez dvoma možna različna stališča, ne pa v osnovnih. V svoji knjigi je Jerneja Petrič sledila tistim osnovnim partijskim navodilom tako o Adamiču kot o g. Kobalu, ki so trenutno v veljavi v Sloveniji. V kolikor mi je znano, Petričeva nadaljuje s svojimi raziskavanji in torej lahko pričakujemo nova njena dela. Ur. AD)

Slomšek Dinner Is Successful
Marie Orazem, Ann Zak, Frances Novak and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Šega enjoy Slomšek dinner at St. Vitus Auditorium.
Memo from Joe Zelle...
“This was the most successful dinner that we’ve had thus far,” commented John Petrie enthusiastically. ‘‘Over 850 dinners were served to satisfied persons. We were Pleasantly surprised.
John Petrie, barbershop entrepreneur on E. 185 St., was talking about the Slomšek din-ner which was held recently at the St. Vitus school hall. This year a special guest was the Pev- Franc Hudl, recording Secretary of Mohorjeva družba (Society of St. Her-ttagoras) of Carinthia.
On the following evening the
Rev. Hudl met with some 75 members of the local branch of the society. His talk given at St. Mary school hall in Collin-wood outlined the founding and purpose of the Mohorjeva, with a look at the past problems and a look to the future.
The society was founded more than a hundred years ago by the Slovenian bishop, Anton Slomšek. The purpose of the society was to print Slovenian books and literature. His intention was to make the Slovenian people aware of their Slovenian heritage, and
to become literate in the Slovenian tongue. Morjeva družba became one of the most prolific supp'iers of Slovenian literature Through Bishop SlomSek’s ettouc, the Slovenian people have become one of the most literate people in the world.
Bishop Slomšek was not only an enthusiastic proponent of Slovenianism, but a saintly man as well. In fact, his cause for canonization has been in progress about the same time as the Slovenian missionary Frederick Baraga, the Apostle of the Chippewas.
In order to help the cause of Bishop Slomšek, these annual dinners are held. They have become a tradition started by the late Rev. Joseph Varga, onetime pastor of Saint Lawrence Church in Newburgh. Present spiritual representative is his successor, the Franciscan from Lemont, Father Athansius, pastor of St. Joseph Church in Joliet.
Anyone interested in helping with the cause of Bishop Slomšek can become a member of the association. Dues are $2.00 for single members, $5.00 for family per year. Contact Ms. Julka Smole, 1233 East 58 St., Cleveland, OH 44103 or telephone her at 391-6547.

Help ‘Preserve’ the Future!
Editor:
As I glance through the paper American Home I often °bserve articles from various groups who are thankful to the PaPer for help in their adver-tising.
Stated also is, “If it were not r°r the American Home, it would be impossible to adequately advertise our event.”
Many times I am of the opi-n'°n American Home also needs help. More so for the new printing press recently Purchased with payments over a *0 year span. Also needed is 'Pore smaller printing equip-Ptent so they can continue to be competitive with other
printers.
I am well aware of the Ameriška Domovina’s hardships with few ads in the Tuesday editions.
Therefore, I appeal to the local and foreign groups who have received help in the past to help the American Home in the future.
Jointly we can be successful. We can insure the future advertising of our cultural and brotherhood societies, and other organizations to insure these activities will continue in the future.

Guest speaker Olga Petek will focus on an old Slovenian tradition — the decorating of honey cookies for the celebration of St. Nicholas Day — when the Slovenian National Art Guild holds its monthly meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 20, at Vlasta’s Art Gallery, 22744 Shore Center Dr.
Olga has many talents and is an authority on designs for avba, the elaborate headpiece for women. She appeared at the Smithsonian Institute for the Bicentennial and is known for her choreography work with SNPJ Circle 2, where she has taught folk dancing for the past 16 years.
“Lectov” are made from a dough of honey, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and spices and decorated with royal frosting. They are baked in various shapes, including birds and angels, and are given as treats during the holidays or hung on trees as ornaments.
Also popular is “šarkelj,” a sweet raised dough. Olga has promised samples of both baked goodies.

Watch Out For Poisonous Plants
Which plants are considered hazardous to our health, especially to our children?
According to nationwide statistics,plants rank after medicines and various household products as a cause or poisoning, especially among preschool children. But only a few plants are so dangerous that illness or death results if only a leaf or one berry is swallowed.
Most poisonous plants produce symptoms only after a relatively large amount of leaves of some other part of the plant has been eaten. However what is a small amount for an adult may be a large amount for a young child. If a child of an adult does eat a plant you think might be poisonous, take him or her immediately to the nearest emergency room or call your local poison control center. And be sure to take along a portion of the plant, including the leaves as well as the berries or flowers.
As a general rule, you should not eat, and you should encourage your children not to eat, any plant or plant part that you are not sure is completely safe.
Because common names of plants differ around the country, the following list contains the scientific names of the most potentially harmful plants so that they won’t be confused with other less hazardous ones.
Features that make certain plants popular for indoor gardening also make them attractive to curious youngsters. The leaves of both Philodendron and Elephant’s Ear (Col-ocasia) are shiny, and often large and eye-catching. The foliage of Caladium and Dumbcane Dieffenachia) have	enticing
yellow or red markings, and the showy yellow Poinciana and Yellow Allamanda (Allamanda cathartica), sometimes imported to other parts of the country from the South, share with the other hazardous houseplants the ability to severely irritate the mouth and the stomach.
Ingesting leaves from the above houseplants can be very painful because they contain
oxalic acid which, when it comes in contact with saliva-
forms little needle-sharp crystals and irritates the mouth and stomach.
In regard to garden plants, the leaves of the Purple Foxglove, the Oleander, the Lily-of-the-Valley, Mountain Laurel and its relatives, pink LambkiH and Rhododendron, can affect the action of the heart.
Most plant poisons produce vomiting and diarrhea, and the most dangerous ones do so after you have eaten only relatively small amounts of them. Rapidly acting stomach poisons are found in the Delphinium, Wistaria seeds, Privet leaves, the green parts of the Horse Chestnut, and the soft red berries of the Yew (Taxus). Slower acting poisons occur in Black Locust’s seedpods, Lantana, and the Autunm Crocus.
The Castor Bean, sometioneS grown in gardens for its tn" teresting large leaves, can make a person very ill. Even Narcissus and Jonquil bulbs and Iris rhizomes are irritating to the stomach.
Climbing Nightshade (Solanum dulcamara) with its five-pointed star-shape^ drooping purple flowers tha bloom in the summer an develop oval,shiny red berd in the fall, can cause redness > the face, a fast pulse rate, dilated eyes and a dry mout • Children often eat the bern6^ of this common weed an become ill. The Very unc0l?e mon Deadly NIghtshad (Atropa belladonna), has small tubular wh1 flowers and dark blue berries^ causes similar but more seve symptoms.	^
A final note : Dangers fr° ^ the Poinsettia plant, - fe found in homes around . winter holidays, seem to h been greatly exaggerated, convincing documentation confirmed their toxic Pote tial.

There are two common places for wastage here. The first is the ball cock valve which shuts off the flow of water into the tank. If the water level in the tank is at the top of the overflow pipe, the ball cock is not shutting off water completely. A simple way of repairing this is to bend the rod on which the float is mounted. If this fails to stop

the runoff, a new valve can be purchased at the hardware store.
The second spot to check is the flush valve at the bottom of the tank. To see if this valve is leaking, put some food coloring in the water in the tank. Do not flush for some time and check the water in the bowl. Coloring in the water indicates the valve or the gasket around it is leaking.
3. Shut off the shower while scrubbing and lathering to save a quantity of water. A full-running shower uses about five gallons per minute. Flow control valves can be used to limit the amount of water used in the shower.

Mandel Dies; Owned Shoe Stores
Well known shoe store owner in the St. Clair area Morris Mandel died in his sleep Saturday, Nov. 12. He had served four generations of customers during his 67 years in the shoe business.
His career started in the Waterloo area of Collinwood where he began selling shoes. He later moved into the E. 61st and St. Clair Avenue area. Customers brought their sons and daughters' to him, and they in turn brought their children to Mandel for his “perfect” fit and some stimulating conversation. At his funeral ceremony Monday at the Berkowitz-Kumin Inc. Memorial Chapel in Cleveland
Hts., the rabbi remarked how Mandel had learned the Slovenian and Italian languages to be able to converse with his customers in their native tongue.
Mandel was a long-time generous advertiser in the American Home and often said how the ads had helped his sales. He retired in 1982 but the shoe store still bears his name.
He is survived by wife Mary (nee Gottlob), children Mrs. Faith Levitt of Indianapolis. E. Jules, and David (both of California), eight grandchildren, brother Leonard, sisters Mrs. Rose Son, and the late Mrs. Ruth Feigenbaum.

Many drugs are known to interact with other drugs as well as with foods of vitamin supplements. Because of this possibility, it is very important that both the physician and pharmacist be aware of all medications a patient is taking, no matter how many phsi-cians he sees or how many pharmacies he shops. It is also important for patients to understand that foods of other substances may affect drug therapy.
A common interaction occurs between the antibiotic tetracycline family and substances which contain calcium, magnesium of aluminum (e.g. milk, other daily products and many antacids). These metals bind with tetracycline in the stomach and prevent absorption through a process called chelation. Therefore, tetracyline (and its derivatives) should never be taken within two hours of milk, other dairy products or most antacids. Most antacid preparations now carry such warnings on their product labels as a service to consumers.

Minerals other than the above three may also chelate with tetracycliness. For example, the antibiotic should not be taken within two to three hours of the ingestion of iron tablets of other iron-containing products, such as some multiple vitamins. Always ask your family pharmacist about possible drug-or. drug-food interactions when receiving prescription of over the counter drugs, even if a purchase is not in mind.

Warts are among the most common viral skin infections. In fact, one in 10 individuals has warts - with teenagers being afflicted more often than youngsters or adults. But a wart does not stay on the skin forever. The great majority of warts appear and then disappear within a two-year period. Seldom does a wart remain on the skin for longer than five years,
Physicians may remove warts via surgery or other pro-cedurees such as electrodesiccation (wart dehydration with electricity). Or they may prescribe a wart removal product to be applied directly to the wart. A variety of wart removal products are available without prescription. These preparations are relatively safe
